Rutgers plans One Stop Center for student needs JACOB TURCHI STAFF WRITER

The One Stop Center will be built on the location where the Academic Services Building is currently found.

The Center will be placed next to the Busch Student Center as it is a transportation hub for students, faculty and staff. RUTGERS.EDU

Plans to open a One Stop Center focused around servicing student parking and financial aid needs are currently in the works.

The center, set to open on Busch campus, will be built on the current Administrative Services Building (ASB1). Construction will begin in approximately one year and the building should be operational in two.

The Daily Targum reported last year that the One Stop Center would be the first step in a plan to have a center on all campuses. At the time, Rutgers administrators said they hoped to have it open by Summer 2019.

Rutgers professor utilizes data-driven cancer therapy CATHERINE NGUYEN STAFF WRITER

Antonina Mitrofanova wanted to become an oncologist, but a life change prevented her from being able to afford medical school. After switching her major to computer science, Mitrofanova, an assistant professor at the Rutgers School of Health Professions and research member at the Rutgers Cancer Institute of New Jersey, is now using big data to fight cancer, according to Rutgers Today.

In her lab, Mitrofanova uses computer algorithms and mathematical models to predict how patients with prostate cancer will respond to androgen deprivation therapy (ADT), which reduces the amount of androgen hormones and prevents cancer cell growth to treat prostate cancer.

ADT has been reported to improve the health of only approximately 50 percent of all prostate cancer patients and cause aggressive cancer in the other 50 percent.

Mitrofanova’s computer algorithm, whose patent is still pending, analyzes a patient’s initial biopsy by looking at genetic and non-genetic markers. Knowing how the patient will respond before he or she undergoes ADT can potentially save lives and prevent suffering.

“When the patient is diagnosed with prostate cancer, part of the biopsy is put aside and screened for these markers,” Mitrofanova said. “From there, we can determine which patients will respond favorably and which will be at risk in order to inform both the patient and physician if this will be the best treatment for that patient.”

ADT outcomes were predicted successfully 90 percent of the time using the data from biopsies and removed prostates of patients.

“This approach builds a strong foundation for a more personalized

therapy and, in the long term, can be included to improve clinical decision making, patient survival and cancer management,” she said.

Although Mitrofanova’s study focuses only on ADT for prostate cancer, she believes her algorithm will broaden to other cancers and treatment types.

Mitrofanova first became interested in oncology when her grandfather was diagnosed with prostate cancer. When she was 9 years old, SEE THERAPY ON PAGE 5

20-inch telescope gives students view of universe JACOB TURCHI STAFF WRITER

Approximately three Thursdays out of every month, Rutgers students can take a closer look at the moon, planets and night sky thanks to the Rutgers Astronomical Society and a 20-inch telescope on Busch campus.

The Rutgers Astronomical Society has hosted open-night viewings at the Robert A. Schommer Astronomical Observatory located on the roof of the Serin Physics Laboratories — for years, the telescope on its roof for viewings was often accompanied by lectures and demonstrations.

Carlton Pryor, a professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy, oversees the club and has spoken at past telescope observations to students.

Dependent on the weather, Pryor said he tries to observe as much as he can with the students, and focuses on well known moons and planets — as those are the ones most students are more interested in.

“The moon is always going to be there, that’s a good one to look at,” he said. “Plus we always try to see if there are any visible planets, such as Venus or Mars. Any planets or moons that we can see up there is always nice, and then a variety of things like star clusters, binary stars bright galaxies, anything like that.”

The greatest difficulty in conducting observations in New Jersey is that it is a very light-polluted area, he said.

An abundance of street lights can make observations difficult, as the telescopes are sensitive to

The telescope at the Observatory has often been accompanied by lectures and demonstrations. RUTGERS.EDU light. Pryor said the group usually reschedules on nights with cloudy or rainy weather.

“Things like nebulas and star clusters are usually a lot more faint in the distance, and because

Rutgers is situated closely to a lot of major roads with lights, they usually just look like blurs in the distance,” Pryor said. “But, we usually work around that (and) try to focus on what we can see

through the telescope as opposed to struggling to see what we can’t.”

The department has hosted these open telescope nights for the past 25 years since the telescope was developed, Pryor said.

The money for the telescope was originally cut out of the budget, but faculty raised money to get it completed. Prior to this telescope, students would usually hold observations at the Daniel S. Schanck Observatory on the College Avenue campus, which dates back to the 1860s. The new observatory was built after the Schanck building started to deteriorate, Pryor explained.

The viewings are open to all Rutgers students, as well as the general public.

“We think it’s something worth doing in terms of astronomy, and astronomers usually like to have fun with what we are doing,” Pryor said. “We’re generally supported by the population, and I think it’s only right that we pay them back in regards of giving them a glimpse of what we find, as well as being entertaining.”

New Jersey has the most astronomy groups per capita in the country, Pryor said. The department has reached out to various groups in the past and has made connections in the area to other clubs.

He said these connections show why it is important to do community outreach, as it can create more discoveries and collaborative work.

The club has also been trying to arrange more field trips to foster collaboration.

“The more we put our names out there, the more likelihood that we will be able to do more impactful work,” Pryor said. “By hosting these open telescope nights, we are more able to connect to the community and maybe do some more innovative discoveries.”

Two Rhodes scholars from New Jersey announced ASSOCIATED PRESS

Two New Jersey college students are headed to Oxford University. Nicolette D’Angelo of Princeton University and Margaret Dods of the U.S. Naval Academy are the latest U.S. Rhodes scholarship recipients. FLICKR

Two students from New Jersey, Princeton University senior Nicolette D’Angelo and U.S. Naval Academy senior Margaret Dods, are among the latest group of U.S. Rhodes scholars heading to Oxford University in England next fall.

D’Angelo, of Hewitt, New Jersey, is studying classics and said in an emailed statement that she hopes to help broaden the audience for the field and show “the relevance of antiquity” to today’s world, eventually becoming a classics professor.

“We prize concepts like democracy, columned architecture and philosophy from the ancient past, but we also can trace back to this time some of our most unsavory societal norms today: for

example, the exclusion of women and other marginalized voices from power,” she said. “I hope to inspire budding classicists and non-classicists alike to examine and interrogate the global reception of ideas from the amazing yet deeply troubling worlds of Ancient Greece and Ancient Rome.”

Officials said D’Angelo is also editor-in-chief of The Nassau Literary Review, the university’s undergraduate literary magazine, and teaches Latin to elementary school students.

Officials say Dods, of Linwood, New Jersey, is majoring in English and Arabic. She serves as battalion commander, leading 750 of her peers, and has completed three marathons. Now training for a Marine Corps commission, she plans to pursue a modern Middle Eastern studies degree at Oxford.

Trump will not listen to Khashoggi recording, sides with crown prince ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald J. Trump said there is no reason for him to listen to a recording of the “ver y violent, ver y vicious” killing of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi, which has put him in a diplomatic bind: how to admonish Riyadh for the slaying, yet maintain strong ties with a close ally.

Trump, in an inter view that aired Sunday, made clear that the audio recording, supplied by the Turkish government, would not af fect his response to the Oct. 2 killing of Khashoggi, a columnist for The Washington Post who had been critical of the Saudi royal family.

“It’s a suf fering tape, it’s a terrible tape. I’ve been fully briefed on it, there’s no reason for me to hear it,” Trump said in the inter view with “Fox News Sunday.” ‘’I know ever ything that went on in the tape without having to hear it.”

On Saturday, Trump said his administration will “be having a ver y full repor t over the next two days, probably Monday or Tuesday.” He said the repor t will include “who did it.” It was unclear if the repor t would be made public.

American intelligence agencies have concluded that the crown prince ordered the killing in the Saudi Consulate in Turkey, according to a U.S. of ficial familiar with the assessment. The of ficial was not authorized to discuss the matter publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity. Others familiar with the case caution that while it’s likely the crown prince was involved in the death, there continue to be questions about what role he played.

Trump noted to “Fox News Sunday” that the crown prince

has repeatedly denied being involved in the killing inside the Saudi Consulate in Istanbul.

“Will anybody really know?”

Trump asked. “At the same time, we do have an ally, and I want to stick with an ally that in many ways has been ver y good.”

A Republican member of the Senate intelligence committee said that so far, there is no “smoking gun” linking the crown prince to the killing. Sen. Roy Blunt of Missouri, who has received a confidential intelligence briefing on the matter, told ABC that “it’s hard to imagine” that the crown prince didn’t know about the killing, but he said, “I don’t know that we absolutely know that yet.”

He said that Congress will await the Trump administration’s repor t in the next two days and that the U.S. will need to be clear about the ramifications of sanctions, given Saudi Arabia’s strategic role in the Middle East.

For his par t, Sen. Lindsey Graham, a Trump ally, said the crown prince has been a “wrecking ball” in the relationship between the U.S. and Saudi Arabia.

“I hate to say that because I had a lot of hope for him being the reformer that Saudi Arabia needs, but that ship has sailed as far as Lindsey Graham’s concerned,” the South Carolina Republican told NBC’s “Meet the Press.”

“I have no intention of working with him ever again,” said Graham, who is in line to be the next chairman of the Senate Judiciar y Committee.

Intelligence officials have been providing information to Trump for weeks about the death, and he was briefed again by phone Saturday by CIA Director Gina Haspel and Secretar y of State Mike Pompeo as he flew to California. White House

press secretar y Sarah Huckabee Sanders provided no details of his call but said the president has confidence in the CIA. “The United States government is determined to hold all those responsible for the killing of Jamal Khashoggi accountable,” the State Department said in a statement. “Recent reports indicating that the U.S. government has made a final conclusion are inaccurate. There remain numerous unanswered questions with respect to the murder of Mr. Khashoggi.”

The statement added: “The U.S. government has taken decisive measures against the individuals responsible, including visa and sanctions actions. We will continue to explore additional measures to hold those accountable who planned, led

and were connected to the murder. And, we will do that while maintaining the important strategic relationship between the United States and Saudi Arabia.”

Before his call on Air Force One, Trump told reporters that when it came to the crown prince, “As of this moment we were told that he did not play a role. We’re going to have to find out what they have to say.” That echoed remarks by national security adviser John Bolton, who said earlier this week that people who have listened to an audio recording of the killing do not think it implicates the crown prince.

Trump has called the killing a botched operation that was carried out ver y poorly and has said “the cover-up was one of the worst cover-ups in the histor y of cover-ups.”

But he has resisted calls to cut of f arms sales to the kingdom and has been reluctant to antagonize the Saudi rulers.

Trump considers the Saudis vital allies in his Mideast agenda.

But members of Congress are pushing Trump for a tougher response to the killing. The administration this past week penalized 17 Saudi of ficials for their alleged role in the killing, but American lawmakers have called on the administration to cur tail arms sales to Saudi Arabia or take other harsher punitive measures.

Turkish and Saudi authorities say Khashoggi, a Saudi who lived in the United States, was killed inside the consulate by a team from the kingdom after he went there to get marriage documents.

President Donald J. Trump has announced he will not listen to an audio recording of the killing of Saudi journalist and former Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi. In an interview Saturday, Trump said his administration will have a full report within the next two days. FLICKR

“Now you would have to go the records hall or student services, we want to have a single location where we can do all of that.”

“We will probably have the front phasing, meaning that the students will be able to get access in the front of the store while we finish the other half,” Schulz said. “We want to finish that student section first just to give people a taste.”

Schulz is the architect of the project and said the One Stop Center will attempt to promote accessibility and easier transactions for Rutgers students.

The Center came out of the Student Improvement Initiative Rutgers developed years ago and is a secondary aspect to the plan’s move to make student transactions easier by moving them online and through an app.

Construction was approved by the University’s Board of Governors in 2018, according to Rutgers Today. The design is currently underway and the layout is already finished. The Center will be open in “phases,” meaning certain sections will open to students before it is completed.

The One Stop Center will create new opportunities for Rutgers employees, but not a new amount of jobs, Schulz said. The staff that is currently employed by the University in other departments will be cross-trained in order to be more flexible at the Center.

“The layout has to be about getting you in, getting you what you need and then getting you out,” Schulz said. “If you’re spending a lot of time here not sure how to get around and get what you need, then we haven’t done our jobs correctly.”

The school picked ASB1 as the Center’s location because it is central to students and transportation and is near a transportation hub at the Busch Student Center. The Center also improves pedestrian access from its front door to the Student Center. RUTGERS.EDU

Mitrofanova’s grandfather was diagnosed with cancer shortly after the cleanup.

In order to help people like her grandfather, Mitrofanova completed four years of medical school in Ukraine, where she was born. She later emigrated to the United States to marry her husband, whose half-Jewish family

fled to the country as refugees.

In the United States, Mitrofanova was unable to afford medical school, so she switched to computer science and obtained a merit scholarship to study the subject at Brooklyn College. Later, she received a Ph.D. in computer science from New York University and post-doctoral training at Columbia University Cancer Center.

Earlier this year, her research on the predictive algorithm for prostate cancer was published in the biomedical journal EBioMedicine.

Republicans cannot surrender suburbs A RINO’S VIEW ROBERT SURIANO

W

ith the midterm elections in the books and the results mostly contended, except for Florida, we can look into the outcomes and tr y to draw some conclusions. The Senate was mostly successful for the GOP. The only other thing to note from the Senate side is the election of former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney (R) to the United States Senate from Utah. His voice can be ver y helpful to the GOP and the nation as a whole as I wrote about last year.

This column, alas, is not about the Republicans’ relative successes in the Senate. It is instead about the failures in the election for the House and the dread that fills me when I look fur ther into the results. The Democrats had a net gain of a little more than 30 seats, which is approximately on par with the historical results of midterm elections in a president’s first term. The par t of the results that worr y me about the future of the GOP is where the Republicans lost seats. The seats lost belonged mostly to suburban moderate Republicans. This swing among suburbanites and women may, if they hold in the future, be disastrous for Republicans.

Let us look into the New Jersey house results as an example of this nationwide swing. The Republican House Delegation lost 4 out of 5 Republican congressmen from New Jersey. There were three Republican seats that the GOP thought they could keep in New Jersey, though Republican Congressman Chris Smith’s seat was safe. The lost seats were those of Congressmen Leonard Lance and Tom MacAr thur, along with Assemblyman Jay Webber, who was not an incumbent but was seeking to replace longtime Republican Congressman Rodney Frelinghuysen. All three of these candidates lost, and only Macar thur’s race was ver y close.

These districts were Republican districts that all suddenly swung to the Democratic side. Why did this happen? Some of it was money. The Democratic candidates were well-funded, but it was really because of President Donald J. Trump.

To be fair to Trump, he helped the Republicans on the Senate side drive up the votes in red states with Democratic Senators.

But unfor tunately for Republicans, he remains ver y unpopular among women and college-educated voters. These are two voting blocks that carr y sway in the suburbs. These people are not progressive socialists. They are more moderate, and even somewhat conser vative economically. It is not Trump’s policy that turns the suburbs blue, per se, but instead his style. The way he speaks, acts and tweets are the true ways in which he alienates these voters. If Trump continued with his exact policies, and refrained from picking pointless fights or saying outrageous things, he would be more popular. The Republican Par ty cannot permanently surrender the suburbs — they are a growing population center and have traditionally voted Republican.

While the Republican Par ty and Trump bring new workingclass voters to the GOP, it cannot just interchange one group for the other. That is because the suburbs and cities are growing, and the white working-class is shrinking as a share of the electorate.

The Republicans must endeavor to keep the voters brought in

by Trump without alienating the suburban voters. I do not know whether Trump can or wants to do this, considering he received his presidential position by being unabashedly himself, so I am doubtful he would change that now. That being said, when the next Republican candidate for president comes along, they should not tr y to rip of f Trump’s style. Trump burst onto the scene as a one-of-a-kind candidate. Ever yone in the countr y knew him and did not expect him to be the clean-cut politician type.

Other politicians do not have this advantage, and would pay a steep price for tr ying to copy it. They would lose women and suburban voters, and most likely would not see the same success among the working class. So, what should future Republican candidates for president or Congress do? Stick to your core beliefs of small government and low taxes. But, pay attention to the white working-class. That is something the president did that many others in politics did not. To reach these voters, you do not have to throw insults around and scream “Fake news!” You must simply listen to this section of voters without acting in such a way that turns of f the suburbs. This, of course, is ver y easy for me to say writing a column, but I do hope the Republicans make an ef for t to save the suburbs.

People must not be complacent with regard to world’s vices THE BREAKING POINT MICHAEL HOLEY

O

nly a week ago you could have found someone complaining about the terrible weather and the complete lack of preparedness surrounding it. My father spent 6 hours stuck on the road for what should have been a 20-minute drive. He was furious about it all.

People went online to complain about buses getting into accidents and commuters having to traverse dangerous roads just so they would not have to miss class. Drivers across the state were angry with the government and students across campus were angry with Rutgers because they felt let down by institutions responsible for their safety and convenience. People asked why classes were not canceled. People asked why the roads were not ready for the storm.

In the end, although, very little of the emotional energy spent will have any real meaning, no one is going to be held responsible for it all because no one is willing to put in the energy to hold people accountable. Humans just like to complain without any sort of significant action. It is one of the most perplexing aspects of human nature: why do people spend so much time being angry and complaining only to do absolutely nothing about it?

Of course, this phenomenon can be obser ved concerning more than just the feeling of anger. We live in a world of per vasive suffering and one emotion alone is not enough to bear the full weight of our experiences. Our sadness is, more often than not, equally as fruitless. Us privileged members of Western society look upon the rest of the world and we see brutality, cruelty and desperation, and yet we do nothing about it. The most we can be bothered to do is share a post on social media

would instead be grateful for any shred of practical support — monetar y aid, volunteer work, food donations, etc. — that would actually affect their lives in a positive, productive manner. We are somehow too inconvenienced, though, to do anything of the sort. We are content with spending time feeling angr y and sad, but we are unwilling to take action that would not only improve the world but would probably make us feel better.

This is the paradox of our human emotions — the contradictor y nature

“Charity may not reward us with physical luxuries but instead it grants us the emotional satisfaction we desperately crave deep inside of ourselves.” about how people are star ving and dying in Africa while we go out to buy a new pair of shoes or the latest device we do not really need. But certainly we care about the people being slaughtered in concentration camps in North Korea, we just will not do anything about it.

I have come to the radical conclusion that, perhaps, the people around the world fighting ever y day for their own sur vival do not actually care about our feelings of sadness. I think they

of us feeling so passionately yet taking no action. We certainly do care, but we act the same as if we did not. It is so incredibly unfortunate that we are often left unmotivated, because during those times when we are inspired enough to act, we are truly capable of greatness.

Humanity has accomplished so much despite our limited propensity for altruistic undertakings. There are even a rare few people who seemingly defy our nature and live their lives in the ser vice

of others. Whenever we realize the goodness that humanity is capable of, we are finally able to feel a moment of relief in this world of tragedy.

Charity may not reward us with physical luxuries but instead it grants us the emotional satisfaction we desperately crave deep inside of ourselves. There is a certain sense of happiness, unique in its nature, about knowing that you contributed something positive and meaningful to the world. Finally you could say that your emotions had purpose, that you took action and that the world was changed for the better because you wanted it to be that way — because your feelings really meant something.

For the sake of our fellow people across Earth and ourselves, let us defy our human nature to sit back and allow the malevolent forces of the world to prevail.

Let us take up a sense of responsibility in the face of negligence and let us take up a sense of mercy in a world of cruelty. It is important to be the light you wish to see within the darkness. Bring about the change you wish to see throughout the world. Prove to the universe that your thoughts and emotions really do matter because you chose to act upon them.

Vine, which was bought will stick to what is most popular,

by Twitter for $30 million in which was Instagram.

Vine was an outlier that influenced the dominating platforms like Twitter and Instagram. It remains to be seen if the follow-up app "Byte" will replicate that legacy. FACEBOOK Though Vine didn't have longevity, it had a hilarious, game-changing legacy with direct effect on our culture from memes to media. “What "SNL" or MTV or "Anchorman" or "Chapelle's Show" or "Gilmore Girls" were for older generations, Vine was for a younger

class of kids," according to The Atlantic. "Only a generation of teens and young adults newly empowered with smartphones ... could have produced Vine, a medium that requires a willingness to show off to friends and strangers, a freedom to look a little silly or stupid, and hours

and hours of waiting-around time to workshop ideas.”

It’s true – Vine worked perfectly because of the generation of young people that were attracted to it. We were raised on rapidly-evolving technology and the introduction of social media. With an emphasis on immediacy and authenticity, Vine was the emblematic platform of our generation.

Vine, like so many great things, came to a sad end in 2016, but many have longed for its return. It seems that with the announcement of Byte, many wishes may be coming true, but the details and specifics of Byte are still not known. We are also left wondering if Vine would really work today, despite our love for the app.

“As the web continues to expand and corporatize, as more companies merge an Apple-like aesthetic with Walmart-like scale, it’s hard to imagine anything like Vine happening again,” according to The Atlantic.

The same people who love Vine and miss it are the same people who led to its demise as they moved to Instagram once it introduced videos. It's not known if a service like Vine can be as effective as it was, but what is certain is that it had an immense impact on our culture.

Branch out with unconventional Thanksgiving dishes ELIZABETH LEOCE CORRESPONDENT

It’s finally the time of the year ever yone looks for ward to. Midterm season has ended, family is coming home, pumpkin bread is being baked and turkey is in the oven. That’s right, ever yone’s favorite holiday: Thanksgiving.

We look for ward to sharing our favorite college stories with our families, and what better way to celebrate than over a feast of traditional recipes?

Sure, you’ve got recipes that are never to be missed, like grandma’s oven-roasted turkey or pecan pie, but what if that dr y turkey was pushed aside this year and swapped for something different? Ever y now and then, we love the idea of “stuffing” the traditional meals away and switching them out for something unexpected. Changing the standard Thanksgiving foods may seem sacrilegious, but sometimes those mashed potatoes could use an upgrade.

FRIED MASHED POTATO BALLS

Time to finally stop eating those boring mashed potatoes and try something different.

These fried balls are crispy on the outside and cheesy on the

inside. Even if you make your mashed potatoes, this is an easy recipe to turn those boring leftovers into something magical.

This recipe is great for the perfect family gathering.

Not ever ything is made with nutrition in mind, especially those mashed potatoes and desserts.

Thankfully, this dish is not only healthy, but also vegan. It only

takes 10 minutes of preparation, since the majority of the time is spent boiling the sweet potato and baking the casserole. Simple and delicious.

THANKSGIVING CAULIFLOWER

If you're looking for a healthier alternative to mashed potatoes or those greasy sides, baking cauliflower is the next best thing. With limited ingredients, such as herbs and mushrooms, you can have a great vegetable as a healthy side in only an hour. They take more preparation time than mashed potatoes, but are definitely better for you.

CRANBERRY ICE CREAM

STUFFED APPLES

Thanksgiving can be hard for people with dietar y restrictions.

Who would have thought popsicles could be a year-round thing?

The flavors of Thanksgiving and fall are all about pumpkin. Frozen popsicles are everywhere these days, and are one of the most flexible treats. Not to mention, with homemade popsicles, you can use the freshest ingredients, save on cost and use much less sugar than store bought options. Great for kids and adults, these pumpkin popsicles should be on everyone’s to-do list this year.

The sauce that everyone enjoys putting on their turkey, but in ice cream form. While it may sound odd, it's one of those dishes where you can’t “knock it before you try it.” It has all of the tart cranberry flavor blended with creamy, sugary deliciousness. Instead of traditional desserts, this new ice cream flavor might just be the next best thing.

Yes, you read that right. Turn baked apples into a savor y side dish filled with sausage stuf fing for a delicious and gorgeous addition to the Thanksgiving meal. Stuf fing is serious business, and though not usually cooked with apples, this unique dish will make all your guests hungr y for more!

VEGAN SWEET POTATO CASSEROLE

PUMPKIN PIE POPSICLES

Traditional Thanksgiving meals are part of what make the holiday so revered. Still, there's always room on the table for something new, like this vegan sweet potato dish. FACEBOOK

These non-traditional Thanksgiving items are sure to make your guests question your cooking skills, but once they try these foods, they'll never question you again.

These are some of the best alternatives to those boring, dry meals that are typically on the table. Switching it up can be fun and these dishes are sure to give a twist on tradition.

SPECIAL Rescigno comes in to play his final home game after Sitkowski gets benched CONTINUED FROM BACK “… I’m not gonna look back and say my career ended really bad because I dropped a pass in the end zone or we lost to Penn State or I didn’t play the whole season.

That’s not how it’s gonna be.”

Prior to Rescigno’s entrance, true freshman quarterback Artur Sitkowski was really struggling, going 3-7 for 18 yards with his final throw resulting in an interception, his second of the day and the 18th of the season.

Despite the offensive inefficiencies, the Knights were still in the game thanks to their defense.

“Defensively we know we can play with the best of them,” said senior defensive back Isaiah Wharton.

Wharton was a big reason why the defense played so well, breaking up a plethora of passes and even corralling an interception.

His veteran leadership and consistency on the field has made him quite the player during his time on the Banks, which includes starting 47 straight games. If Wharton starts against Michigan State next week, he will have started ever y single game since he arrived at Rutgers.

“It was a blur, it came fast, but I’m blessed and fortunate to be in this position. The wins and loss column doesn’t look good, but at the end of the day after the game, the boys in that locker room, I love them. They’re getting better,” he said.

The Knights’ lone touchdown of the day came on a 2-yard run by Blackshear. He finished the day as the leading rusher with 106 yards on 22 carries.

Overall, Rutgers had 234 total yards on the ground — the second consecutive game it surpassed 180 rushing yards — seemingly finding its identity that Ash was looking for earlier in the season.

“I do really like the improvements we’ve made in the run game. I really like our tailbacks, the way they run, the confidence that they run with.

Just the whole team has a lot of confidence in those guys. We’ve got to continue to build on that,” Ash said.

Next week, the Knights will play their final game of the season as they travel to East Lansing, Mich. to take on the Spartans looking to end the season on a high note.

“Doesn’t matter who we’re playing, we feel like we can beat them,” Wharton said. “… This team is definitely going in the right direction and the younger guys in the locker room, they understand that we’re setting the culture the right way that it needs to be done.”

It still remains to be seen who will be the starting quarterback, but perhaps Rescigno, the Michigan native, did enough to earn himself one final start.

Regardless of what happens, he is proud of his career and will remember it for the rest of his life.

“It was a dream of mine since I was a little kid. Maybe not necessarily where I expected to end up, but it happened to be somewhere that I fell in love with and it means a whole lot to me,” he said.

MEN’S CROSS COUNTRY KNIGHTS PLACE 8TH OUT OF 18 TEAMS AT IC4A CHAMPIONSHIPS

RU wraps up fall season with top-10 finish at IC4A’s CAILEE OLIVER STAFF WRITER

The Rutgers men’s cross country team concluded its season by placing in the top 10 at the IC4A Championships, Saturday, in Bronx, N.Y. The Scarlet Knights finished in eighth place out of 18 teams, with a total time of 2:00:52.00 in the 8k IC4A race at Van Cortlandt Park.

Page 11 WRESTLING NO. 23 RUTGERS 40, HOFSTRA 3

Rutgers defeats Hofstra as Goodale ties career record JACKSON THOMPSON CORRESPONDENT

The Rutgers wrestling team went back on the road Friday night to tally its fifth win of the season against Hofstra. The No. 23 Scarlet Knights (5-1) dominated up and down the lineup against the Pride (0-1) and fell one match shy of a complete sweep with a final score of 40-3.

Head coach Scott Goodale tallied his 166th career win, which officially ties his predecessor John Sacchi for most wins by a head coach in the histor y of the program. Goodale will have a chance to take sole possession of the most career wins title when the team returns from Thanksgiving break.

“I haven’t really thought about it much, I’m just happy to get the win tonight,” Goodale said. “I just feel very honored and very blessed that this administration gave me a shot 12 years ago. Myself and coach (John) Leonardis, they listened to a vision that we’re just trying to play out.”

Junior 141-pounder Peter Lipari reached a milestone of his own with his first dual meet win of the season. He earned a 6-2 decision over Hofstra’s Garrett Lambert. Lipari wrestled in place of sophomore 141-pounder Michael Van Brill, who struggled in last weekend’s Journeymen Duals.

After a strong offseason, Lipari suffered an elbow injury just prior to Wrestle-Offs. Friday’s match marked his return to the mat, as he will look to challenge

Graduate student 149-pounder Anthony Ashnault won his sixth match of the season by a fall. He is currently the team’s leader with five falls. CURSTINE GUEVARRA / NOVEMBER 2018 Van Brill for time in the 141 spot moving forward.

“It was just good to get out there with my team and get the win. I was a little rusty but at the end of the day its all about getting the win,” Lipari said. “I kind of wish I could get some more matches under my belt, but it is what it is. The next tournament is in Vegas, so now we get two weeks to prepare for that, and now it’s time for our team to do big things out there.”

Against the Pride, who was competing in their first dual meet of the season, Rutgers got good performances from just about every wrestler Goodale started.

Sophomore 125-pounder Shane Metzler made his sixth appearance of the year, as he’s started every match for the team. He earned his fourth win of the season against Hofstra’s Dylan Ryder in a 5-3 decision. Filling in for No. 2 junior 133-pounder Nick Suriano who was moved up to the 133 weight class, Metzler has played a meaningful role for the team this year.

Suriano has continued to thrive in his new weight class as he stayed undefeated in Hemsptead, N.Y. He picked up his fourth pin of the year against the Pride’s Trent Olson.

Alongside Suriano in the undefeated column is No. 2

graduate student 149-pounder Anthony Ashnault who earned a pin against Hofstra’s Ryan Burkert. For Ashnault, the victor y marked the 97th of his career, as he is now just three wins shy of joining the 100-win club.

“It feels pretty cool. I think it’s a lot harder to accomplish in college than in high school,” Ashnault said. “It’s a rare category of people and it’s a pretty exciting accomplishment, so I’m looking forward to it.”

While Ashnault and Suriano have had dominant bouts for the team so far, Goodale is also getting consistency out of many newer wrestlers in his lineup.

Freshman 165-pounder Stephan Glasgow bounced back from his first loss of the season last week, with a 5-3 decision against the Pride’s Ricky Stamm.

Glasgow is now 5-1 in his first season on the Banks.

Sophomore 174-pounder Joseph Grello also has only one loss on the season, as he improved to 5-1 with his third pin of the season over Hofstra’s Sage Heller.

The Knights’ only loss of the day came toward the end of the meet in the 197 weight class.

Freshman 197-pounder Max Wright suffered a 6-4 loss to Nezar Haddad to end the aspirations of a sweep.

Junior heavyweight Christian Colucci closed the meet with a 3-1 win over Omar Haddad. Colucci has suffered some close losses so far this season, but is becoming Rutgers’ best option in the heavyweight spot.

The Knights will have 14 days off before traveling to Las Vegas, Nev. for the Cliff Keen Invitational that will span from Nov. 30 through Dec. 1.

“We wrestled well, we got to have a really good two weeks of training because we have this Vegas tournament coming up. We treat it as a mini national tournament, it’s a really, really good tournament,” Goodale said. “We got better tonight and we wrestled for the most part with a little more energy and juice, and we closed out matches.”

MEN’S BASKETBALL RUTGERS-EASTERN MICHIGAN, TONIGHT, 7 P.M.

Knights can’t keep up with St. John’s in 1st loss ROBERT SANCHEZ SPORTS EDITOR

On Friday night, the Rutgers men’s basketball got its first real test of the season, a home matchup against its former Big East rival, St. John’s.

But after dominating in their first two games against mid-major schools, the Scarlet Knights (21) couldn’t keep up with the Red Storm (3-0), falling 84-65.

“We have to get better, we’re a young team, six guys for the first time, it was a big game. I thought we came out a little tentative,” said head coach Steve Pikiell.

It’s true. After scoring the first basket of the night — a dunk by graduate student center Shaquille Doorson that electrified the 7,102 on hand inside the nearly sold out Rutgers Athletic Center (RAC) — Rutgers didn’t lead again for the entirety of the game.

After a first-half deficit that reached as much as 8 points, the Knights came closest to taking back the lead on a 3-pointer from sophomore guard Peter Kiss that made it 24-23 with 4:49 left in the half, bringing the raucous RAC to its feet.

QUOTE OF THE DAY

“I’m not gonna look back and say my career ended really bad because I dropped a pass in the end zone.”

— Fifth year senior quarterback Giovanni Rescigno

FOOTBALL PENN STATE 20, RUTGERS 7

Fifth-year senior quarterback Giovanni Rescigno completed two passes for 28 yards and was sacked once in Rutgers’ 20-7 senior-day loss. He ran for 35 yards, the most he has rushed for this season. GARRETT STEFFE / STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER / NOVEMBER 2018

NOT SO PHILLY SPECIAL

Rescigno drops TD catch on senior day as Rutgers loses 10th in a row to No. 16 Penn State ROBERT SANCHEZ

“Yeah it’s tough. Honestly, I don’t wanna take my jersey off,” said fifth-year senior quarterback Giovanni Rescigno, still in complete uniform. “A lot of good memories, a lot of hard work. Some ups and downs, but it is what it is. I’ve enjoyed my time here.”

But early on, the 44,840 that showed up did not have much to cheer for as offense was hard to come by for both teams.

It was not until the second half, down a modest 13-0, that Rutgers and, fittingly, Rescigno started making some plays — most notably with their feet.

Rescigno finished the day 2-8 for 28 yards but had 35 yards on seven carries, igniting an offense that had been stagnating.

SPORTS EDITOR

Even in 40-degree weather and remnants of snow in the corners of the field, the Rutgers football team played a game, on Saturday. But it was not just any game as Saturday marked the team’s senior day — a sendoff for all of the seniors in what would be their final home game — and against cross-state rival Penn State.

Fans piled in, the student section was packed but unfortunately for the Scarlet Knights (1-10, 0-8), they could not leave HighPoint.com Stadium for one final time this season with a win, falling to the No. 16 Nittany Lions (8-3, 5-3), 20-7.

NFL SCORES

Although, the biggest thing people will remember from the game will almost undoubtedly be Rescigno’s drop in the end zone on 4th and goal on a wide-open pass from sophomore running back Trey Sneed on the “Philly Special.”

Mirrored after the Philadelphia Eagles’ famous Super Bowl touchdown last year against the New England Patriots, sophomore running back Raheem Blackshear took the snap, pitched it to Sneed who then threw it to an unmarked Rescigno who simply dropped the ball.

“Well executed play on 4th down that we didn’t finish,” said head coach Chris Ash. “You score there, who knows? It changes

That was a tough one.”

The score would have been 13-7 with approximately 20 minutes left in the game and a Knights defense that was doing a great job of handling the dynamic Penn State offense to that point.

Instead, in a hear tbeat, Rutgers turned the ball over, came away with no points and the energy inside HighPoint.com Stadium deflated as fans star ted trickling out, waving the white flag.

“At the end of the day, it’s a game. Life’s much bigger than football,” Rescigno said.
