Barchi talks crime, alcohol policy THE DAILY TARGUM The problem with alcohol policies is that Rutgers cannot legislate personal behavior, said University President Robert L. Barchi. Continuing a discussion with Barchi, New Brunswick Chancellor Richard L. Edwards and the editorial board of The Daily Targum, administration officials addressed recent crimes and alcohol-related issues.

No individual department convocations are being canceled and no statement has been issued to prevent departments from holding independent celebrations to honor graduates, said Kara Donaldson, associate dean of Planning and Communications at Rutgers. Rachel Battaglia, a School of Arts and Sciences senior, started a change. org petition yesterday calling on Executive Dean Peter March of the School of Arts and Sciences and the Rutgers administration to “keep departmental
graduations in their original locations and reconsider the recent decision to eliminate individual departmental graduations, which relocates them to the stadium,” according to the petition. The petition states the decision was not decided on by students, faculty or department heads, but was instead made “behind closed doors.” Next May, the School of Arts and Sciences will hold a convocation ceremony following the University commencement, March said. Every school other than the School of Arts and Sciences, including the School of SEE RUMORS ON PAGE 4
Felicia McGinty, vice chancellor of Student Affairs, said the fraternity in which student Caitlyn Kovacs visited before her alcohol-related death is currently suspended and is under investigation. They are going through a legal and a disciplinary process, she said. Barchi said these were “huge issues” that are more complex than they sound on the surface. BARCHI: I have to say, coming to this campus though, I’ve been pretty impressed with the alcohol policy here. I had to rewrite an alcohol policy completely from scratch at [the University of Pennsylvania], and make the campus dry for six months because of a death that we had. And the policy here is every bit as good, if not better, than the one that we eventually came up with at that institution. The problem is that you can’t legislate everyone’s personal behavior. … You can do what you can, and you can try your best, but there will always be people with individual situations and behavior that run counter to what you’re trying to accomplish.
CRIME
Barchi began talking about crime by saying that the recent “wave” of crimes was a misunderstanding students have had about the new crime reporting system. Last spring, he changed the system so students would receive crime reports about off-campus incidents. BARCHI: On campus, we have seen anywhere from a 30 to 50 percent decline in crime. … The perception, though, is that so much more is being reported on your cell phone, because we’re pushing out all this stuff that’s happening in New Brunswick. … But there is also a slight but significant increase in crime in New
Brunswick itself. What’s happening? New Brunswick has put an additional 10 officers on the street over there. We’ve put additional police on the College Avenue area. We’ve started additional patrols that involve RUPD and a New Brunswick police person between midnight and six in the morning in that precinct to get more presence. I mean, you need more — people need to see presence, that’s the bottom line. So it isn’t a crime wave — that’s the first thing. It isn’t an increase SEE POLICY ON PAGE 4

City considers game day parking tax LIN LAN CORRESPONDENT
Rutgers had a record-breaking attendance of 53,774 at its first Big Ten Conference game against Penn State at High Point Solutions Stadium earlier this year. This turnout is often costly for the Piscataway Township, which supplies a police force and other municipal services for Rutgers events. At least 11 people were arrested at the game against Penn State —
two made by the Piscataway police, the rest by the Rutgers University Police Department, according to New Brunswick Today. To account for the financial burden that Rutgers events place on the township, Piscataway proposed an ordinance on Nov. 6 for a seven percent parking tax at future University events and games, according to mycentraljersey.com. Peter McDonough, senior vice president of external affairs at Rutgers, said parking revenue yielded
about $1 million a few years ago, which, if the tax policy were approved, would amount to $70,000 for the township. The initial date for hearing and passing the ordinance was Nov. 25, but it was tabled after University officials contested the policy’s legal grounds. Anne Gordon, public information officer for Piscataway Township, said there have been no further SEE TAX ON PAGE 4
Turmoil in the Middle East is nothing new. News about Egypt, Israel, Palestine and Syria are daily occurrences, and the media reports one ISIS beheading after another. In light of the myriad facets of these conflicts, four panelists convened yesterday afternoon to discuss the collective future of the Middle East. The lecture, “What Is the Future of the Middle East?” was co-sponsored by the Department of Political Science and the Division of Student Affairs. Eric Davis, vice-chair for Graduate Studies in the Department of Political Science, moderated the event in the Multipurpose Room of the College Avenue Student Center. Engy Abdelkader, Esq., Hamid-al-Bayati, Muli Peleg and Ghaidaa Hetou were the panelists who spoke about the conditions of Egypt, Iraq, Israel and Syria, respectively. Abdelkader, a Rutgers alumna, lawyer and co-director of the Immigration Intervention Project,
outlined a series of issues currently plaguing Egypt. She spoke exclusively on the rights of women and girls in the country. She described three areas regarding women’s rights: economic empowerment, domestic violence and gender-based violence. Although Egypt has laws stating that women must be given equal opportunities for employment, the current situation suggests otherwise. Twenty-eight percent of Egyptian women are unemployed, compared to the 9.1 percent of unemployed Egyptian men. But the statistic is not entirely representative. The 28 percent does not indicate whether the women included in the statistic desired jobs. If that was the case, Abdelkader said the law should be applied more stringently to better achieve gender equality in the Egyptian workforce. She also discussed the severe condition of domestic violence in Egypt. According to one research study, 80 percent of surveyed Egyptian men felt they had the right to “physically discipline” their wives. SEE TURMOIL ON PAGE 5

Author explains religion, race in Arab-Israeli conflict
Jonathon Gribetz, a professor at Princeton University, describes his new book, “Defining Neighbors: Religion, Race, and the Early Zionist-Arab Encounter” yesterday at the Douglass Student Center. TIANFANG YU / STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER
CARLEY ENS CORRESPONDENT
On the last Saturday of October 1909, two members of Palestine’s intellectual elite, Eliezer Perelman Ben-Yehuda and Ruhi Al-Khalidi, met for an interview in Jerusalem, Jonathon Gribetz said. Gribetz, an assistant professor of near Eastern studies and Judaic studies at Princeton University, said Ben-Yehuda immigrated to Palestine from Russian Lithuania. Al-Khalidi was born in Jerusalem, but spent much of his time outside of Palestine. “They had much in common aside from a shared city,” Gribetz said. Gribetz, a graduate of Harvard, Oxford and Columbia who has taught at both the University of Toronto and Rutgers, researched Israeli and Palestinian libraries and archives, personal letters and newspapers in an attempt to discern how Jews and Arabs considered one another in the late Ottoman period, the earliest years of the two groups’ encounter. He discussed the importance of understanding religion and race in the context of the Arab-Israeli conflict yesterday in the Douglass Student Center. The Ruth and Alvin Rockoff Annual Program, as part of the Allen and Joan Bildner Center for the Study of Jewish Life, sponsored the lecture. In his book, “Defining Neighbors: Religion, Race, and the Early Zionist-Arab Encounter,” Gribetz
critiques the concept of dividing the territory of Palestine-Israel between the Jews and Arabs. Yael Zerubavel, director of the Bildner Center, said Gribetz’s book offers groundbreaking insight on the way Jews and Arabs interacted with one another in the Ottoman Empire. Zerubavel also marveled at how many endorsements Gribetz has received on the book from both Jews and Arabs looking to bridge the gap between the two communities. “[The fact that] it was embraced by so many different people is probably a token of how balanced of a book it is,” said Zerubavel, a professor in the Department of Jewish Studies and History. After nearly 100 years of violence, conflict and mutual hatred between Jews and Arabs, divisive discourse has dominated much of both sides’ views of the other, Gribetz said. Extremists often say things like, “There is no such thing as a Palestinian” or “Zionism is racism,” Gribetz said. “I asked, was this always so?” Gribetz said. The short answer is no, Gribetz said. Latter-day descendents have evolved over decades of political violence. Gribetz sought to find out how Arabs and Jews viewed each other prior to the beginning of today’s conflict. Exploring Jewish and Arab texts, Gribetz found the intellec-
tuals who were viewing and interpreting one another’s actions did so using two central categories: religion and race. “They viewed their neighbors as members of a particular religion or scientifically or genealogically, rigidly-defined race,” said Gribetz. Although the Arab-Israeli conflict has prior been defined as a nationalist feud, Gribetz’s findings suggest that language and the concept of nationality were yet to be dominant. Gribetz proposes that to understand the conflict in Palestine as it was before 1948 in today’s context, it would be mistaken to simply look at it as a dispute over real estate. This is how even important scholars have described it, he said. “The conflict has not merely been a dispute over land, but over history and identity of people who regard themselves as acutely connected to each other.” Gribetz said. In early Israeli and Palestinian archives, the different groups understood each other not as complete strangers but as people with commonalities as salient as their differences, encountering deeply familiar, if at times distorted or mythologized others. Gribetz studied an unpublished manuscript by Ruhi al-Khalidi called “Zionism, or the Zionist Question,” which he said was mostly about Judaism and assessments of
the Hebrew bible and an acceptance of Jews’ historic link to the holy land. To an Arab in 20th-century Palestine, this kind of text was seen as a threat, he said. Another piece, Moval’s “at-Tamund,” was meant to show readers that Judaism was not a foreign, shadowy or unethical religion but rather a familiar one.
What is amazing about this writing, he said, is that it is rare to find a work of apologetics that simultaneously addresses two religious communities. “Seeing how people relate to one another allows us to try and understand what has happened since the beginning,” Gribetz said.

in crime on campus, because it’s actually a decrease. But you are hearing more about. So, is that a bad thing? Well, I don’t think it is, because that’s one of the reasons we did it. It’s to make people aware of the fact that walking around two blocks off campus at 3 a.m. is not a smart thing to do in an urban environment. It just isn’t. So, being more aware and being more sensitive to that, being more concerned about personal safety, is going to help us help you. And then we’ve got to respond by putting more police on the street, doing more door-to-door, is your house safe, call for a check when you want, seeing if it’s OK. We’re trying to get the city to respond with more lighting on the streets and things like that. Edwards added some information about Rutgers-New Brunswick initiatives. EDWARDS: One of the things that’s come up in my talks with a number of student leaders is the need for us to be informed about certain areas on campus that are very dark. You know, we’re not necessarily there at 11 at night, between the union and some other building. Things that are on campus, we have the possibility of doing something about. Things that are off campus, we have to work with the city on something. But I also wanted to say that this whole area of safety and services to students to who are technically off campus, but who live across the street, in the fifth and sixth wards where you perhaps live — those are issues in terms of the services
that we provide. It turns out that our University, like a number of universities that we’ve contacted and had engagements with recently, doesn’t even have a good way of knowing the addresses of folks that are living technically off campus. ... One of the things we’ve discovered is that perhaps the leader in all this is Ohio State. And so last week we had some representatives from Ohio State in ... to kind of find out what they’re doing, and seeing what are some of the things that we could do to perhaps emulate what they’re doing, perhaps find out something about the best practices. ... I mean, it’s a bit different if you go somewhere like schools that are maybe a big university, but are in a small college town in the middle of, let’s say Pennsylvania somewhere, or some other places like that. It’s just a whole different kind of environment. So we wanted to look at those places that are big, complex universities like Rutgers that are in cities that are large enough to have banks of housing around the campus that many students choose to live. … One of the things we learned from our colleagues at Ohio State is that at the beginning of the year, they provide door alarms to students living in this off-campus housing, as well as window alarms, so that if someone tries to open your window or come through your door, you have those kind of alarms. So we’re looking at those kinds of things. But it’s a big matter of concern. And I think you also have to, with your friends and colleagues, be alert and try not to put yourselves in position that can be vulnerable.

updates on the matter. At this point, there is no pending action. “They’re looking to clarify everything,” Gordon said. “That doesn’t mean it’s in its final stages at all.” Kurt Falk, an alumnus, said he understands the township’s point of view. “I always thought that [Rutgers] would cover the costs for their special events,” he said via email. “Perhaps a set fee between [Rutgers] and Piscataway for special events might be [a] better way to go especially for football games.” McDonough confirmed via email that the ordinance has been tabled. “We continue to work with the Township and with our own legal counsel to determine if such potential action is permissible,” he said. The administration is also looking for ways to minimize the impact a
Piscataway special events parking tax would have on Rutgers students and fans, he added. Falk said it really seems more of a tax on tailgaters who are compelled to park near the stadium. Parking is currently available in 14 locations for those without parking passes, according to the Rutgers Athletics’ website. Other lots are available on the Rutgers Biomedical and Health Sciences campus, Saint George Greek Church lot and Johnson Park across from the stadium on a first-come, first-served basis. Game-day parking costs $20 per car in most lots, $30 at the park and $35 at the church. Buses and larger vehicles pay $100. The fee at Saint George Greek Church is considered a tax-deductible donation, and the Rutgers football website advertises it as a place to bypass congestion on game-day with
RUMORS About 4,000 students are expected at convocation following University-wide commencement CONTINUED FROM FRONT
Environmental and Biological Sciences and the School of Engineering, has a convocation event. “Why should [the School of Arts and Sciences] be different from other schools?” March asked. Prior to this coming commencement day, individual departments, like the Department of Political Sci-
ence and the Department of History, held convocation events on the same day as the University-wide commencement, March said. This is complicated logistically in terms of transportation and public safety, March said. The departments have been asked to hold their individual convocation ceremonies on a different day than the University commencement, which will dramatically decrease transportation issues. “The departments that wish to will continue to have department-level celebrations of their students, they just will not be on the commencement day,” he said. March is trying to start a new tradition in which all School of Arts and Sciences students will be recognized together in the stadium, Donaldson said. Students will shake hands with the dean, as they can continue to do at their individual department’s ceremonies. These ceremonies, which often feature students or alumni as speakers and recognize students who have received honors, can continue to do all of that, Donaldson said, just not on the same day as the University commencement. The idea to create a School of Arts and Sciences convocation ceremony came after March was approached by the University secretary’s office, through which all commencement planning occurs, March said. The School of Arts and Sciences convocation is in the planning stages, March said. He is working with a task force made up of four students and four staff members, including Donaldson and himself. About 4,000 School of Arts and Sciences students are expected at the convocation ceremony following the University-wide commencement. Though it is not feasible to read each student’s name, March said they would use technology to visually recognize students. Chris Retzko, manager of Special Events and Programs at Rutgers and assistant secretary of the University, said he is the planner for University commencement.
the safety of a police officer always on duty. Parking lots open five hours before kickoff, and shuttle buses for students start running three hours prior to kickoff. Coinciding with the launch of Rutgers’ participation in the Big Ten Conference this year, the administration has encouraged community support and turnout for football games while making attempts not to create more demand for parking spaces. In September, University President Robert L. Barchi told mycentraljersey.com that tailgating should be a family affair and opened up his lawn as a location that “wouldn’t diminish the parking lot space for tailgaters.” “Last spring, the Barchis brought their concept of a family-friendly, alcohol-free homecoming event to the Rutgers University Alumni Association,” the article said. Piscataway Police Department announced on its Twitter account last Saturday there would be no parking in effect on certain streets near the stadium on game day. It warned attendees the police would be enforcing the policy.
For the School of Arts and Sciences convocation, Retzko is looking to use software that will enable him to put information up on the screen in High Point Solutions Stadium about each student. “It would have students’ names, pictures, hometowns, honors — really anything that we’d want to put up there we can explore how it would work and try to keep it in a fast-paced and readable format,” Retzko said. This is the first year that this technology could possibly be incorporated in the ceremony. Aside from moving the ceremony along at an organized pace, it allows the ceremony to be more personal. Francine Glaser, a School of Arts and Sciences senior and the school’s senator-at-large of the Rutgers University Student Assembly, said she heard from a student in the Department of Genetics, who heard from the vice chair of that department, that department’s individual ceremonies were being canceled. Glaser, who is also the undergraduate representative to the Board of Trustees, said the whole event seems to have been one big miscommunication, and that if it is true that March is only asking the departments to move their individual convocations and not cancel them, that could make things more efficient. “I think specifically having different graduations on different days or at least different hours of the day, if they were over the course of two or maybe three days, that would be fine as well,” she said. Though that is what Glaser personally believes, she would need to see what her constituents — the students of Rutgers — think about having graduation ceremonies over a period of multiple days. March is planning to meet with undergraduates on the Board of Trustees who have reached out to express concern about what they thought was the cancellation of individual convocation ceremonies. He hopes to communicate with the Rutgers community so a clear discussion can take place. Glaser said though the task force that March created does include students, it should have included students elected by other students. “If you’re going to make decisions about commencement, no matter how big or small, there should be some shared governance,” she said.

TURMOIL Eighty percent of Egyptian females under 18 years of age undergo genital mutilation CONTINUED FROM FRONT
If women wanted to report the violence to law enforcement or apply for a restraining order, the probability of either would be slim to none. Abdelkader said domestic violence is seen as a “social affair, not a criminal action.” The same flippancy toward domestic violence translates to gender-based violence. According to a United Nations study on women, approximately 99 percent of surveyed Egyptian women reported experiencing some form of sexual harassment. Abdelkader also said 80 percent of Egyptian females under the age of 18 reported undergoing female genital mutilation, or the cutting of one or more parts of the genitals for non-medical reasons, according to a report from UNICEF. “But is there hope? What does the future hold?” Abdelkader asked. “I tend to be optimistic.” The Egyptian legislature passed a series of articles during the summer, four of which Abdelkader mentioned might increase gender parity. Egypt also recently passed a law criminalizing sexual harassment. So far, the law has been effective by fining and prosecuting perpetrators. Aside from legislation, women have been taking matters into their own hands by utilizing pop culture, art and grassroots organizing. Women have been starting Facebook pages condemning sexual harassment, and their activism has caught attention. “It’s significant to realize that women and girls have agency,” Abdelkader said. “They can effectuate change.” Al-Bayati, a permanent representative of Iraq to the United Nations and a former Deputy Foreign Minister to the Republic of Iraq, spoke about the turmoil Iraq has undergone for centuries. “Iraq is very well known for being the cradle of civilization … [and] now it’s a hot topic in the media,” he said. Iraq is a mosaic of different racial, cultural and sectarian tiles. Those differences have been the driving force for conflict, most apparent during Saddam Hussein’s reign. In the 1980s, Iraq invaded Iran, and Hussein successfully pitted Sunnis against Shiites. In the 1990s, Hussein drove a stake between Muslims and “Christian crusaders.” In 2003, Al-Bayati returned to Iraq, where he lost nearly 10 members of his family to the violence. Despite the chasms among different groups in Iraq, there have also been moments of unity that the media has given little thought. “The media focuses on the negative side of the picture … [I want them to] say what is good, say what is bad,” Al-Bayati said. “[But they just] want to sell the news.” This “reactionary” trait of the media is enduring. The media devoted an inordinate amount of time and content to terrorists planted in Yemen. “But where is Yemen now in the news?” Al-Bayati asked. “Nowhere.” The hot-button issue now is most prominently ISIS, the terrorist group so extreme that even
groups like Al-Qaeda have denounced it. “I teach my students how to think as leaders,” Al-Bayati said. “If we don’t unite as human [beings] … then there will be another generation of terrorism.” Peleg, a visiting instructor in the Department of Political Science, talked about his attachment to Israel as a scholar. “I’m a product of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict,” he said. “My socialization process revolved around the historical narrative.” The Israeli-Palestinian conflict is not a new phenomenon. It is durable and deep-rooted, tracing its foundations back at least three centuries. Israelis and Palestinians inextricably have a collective identity. “[People] say many times Israel has gone to the right,” Peleg said. “I believe that’s true, but I want to point out this transition to the right is more of an emotional transition … [because] of fear.” The conflict between Israelis and Palestinians is a battle between extremists and moderates, Peleg said. The divide has turned Israel into a politically volatile countr y. He attributed the volatility to a lack of trust. “Trust is absent ... there are solutions to all the problems on the agenda between the Palestinians and Israelis,” he said. “All of them ... I know the solutions are there.” Hetou, a Rutgers alumna, the director of Professional Development and the chief executive officer of I-Strategic, discussed her experiences as a Syrian citizen living inside and outside the Middle East. Since ISIS has established itself in Syria, a country that has a population of almost 23 million, any disturbance in a country of that size will “naturally ripple out.” There are 620,000 Syrian refugees in Jordan, Hetou said. There are more than a million in Lebanon, with another million in Turkey. Within Syria itself, there are 6.4 million internally displaced people lacking basic amenities. Ten and a half million people need humanitarian aid. The only people profiting from the tragedy are warlords, she said. ISIS is overshadowing the humanitarian crisis by being a security crisis that is simultaneously a regional and international problem. Hetou asked if there is any glimmer of hope when the current situation is so grim. There is hope, she said, attributing “frozen zones.” A frozen zone is a proposal to a fighting faction in a neighborhood in a city that would agree to hold fighting to allow aid trucks to help people in need. There have been 35 instances of frozen zones that were not included in most news coverage. Almost all of the zones have been honored. The few problems have been random skirmishes. “[The Middle East] to me was a puzzle,” Hetou said. “A puzzle I understood, in a way, but the pieces were shifting in a flux that was always in a need for attention and a need for reassessment.”

Roll into Midori Sushi for Japanese food that fits your budget

JENNY LIN STAFF WRITER
Just a walk up from downtown New Brunswick is Highland Park, a small town filled with hidden wonders. Pretty shops and restaurants line the main street. Midori Sushi, located at 237 Raritan Ave., serves traditional Japanese fare, including sushi, katsu and noodle dishes. Finding parking can be a challenge in Highland Park, but Midori Sushi has a private parking lot conveniently located to the side of the building. As I walked in, light music played in the dim room as two sushi chefs carefully crafted sushi rolls at the bar. A detailed mural of two sumo wrestlers was on one side of the room, while a large cherry blossom painting hung in the main room. Three samurai swords were also placed on a shelf near the ceiling. Midori Sushi offers a large selection of Japanese cuisine. I opted for the lunch specials due to their value and variety. Served with miso soup or green salad, the Midori lunch special allows customers to choose one regular roll and one special roll from 19 different types of regular rolls, including sweet potato and spicy avocado. Eighteen special rolls are also available including the passion roll, which is composed of salmon, avocado and cucumber topped with white tuna, jalapeno and chili sauce. The Hollywood roll consists of spicy crunchy tuna and avocado topped with red tuna and mango. I started off my meal with miso soup, which was perfect for the rainy, chilly day. The simple soup had a mild flavor and included scallions, diced silken tofu and small pieces of seaweed. The soft tofu melted in my mouth. For the lunch special, I picked the salmon avocado roll and rainbow dragon roll. Visually, the sushi was creatively assembled in the form of a dragon. It had crispy shrimp tempura inside with cucumbers and was topped with eel and avocado.
Sesame seeds and caviar were also sprinkled on top of the “dragon.” The shrimp was perfectly cooked and the Panko breadcrumbs provided a nice crunch to the chewy rice and soft avocado. The sweet teriyaki sauce drizzled on top of the roll paired well with the salty soy sauce. The salmon avocado roll was also well made. The restaurant did not overstuff the roll with rice, like some sushi establishments, and the salmon tasted fresh. I also ordered the katsu chicken lunch box served with miso soup, salad, three pieces of shumai (dumplings), three pieces of California roll and steamed rice. Katsu is short for torikatsu, a popular Japanese dish made with deep-fried chicken cutlet. The thin slice of chicken breast was lightly seasoned with salt and pepper. I dipped the strips of chicken into the sweet and tangy katsu sauce and was pleased that the chicken remained moist. I also appreciated the perfectly golden and crispy crust, deep-fried in Panko breadcrumbs. The lunch box also came with a spring mix salad with a zesty orange ginger dressing and shredded carrots. The salad was a refreshing addition to the overall rich and heavy meal. The restaurant included three fried shrimp shumai. They were delicious with the vinegary soy sauce they sat in. A generous portion of steamed short grain rice completed the $8.95, filling meal. The restaurant also offers a variety of sashimi, hand rolls and cold dishes such as the Tuna Mango Tartar, a dish made with tuna, creamy avocado and mango in a light spicy sauce with red tobiko and quail egg. Midori Sushi’s lunch specials fit a college student’s budget and appetite. Be adventurous, get out of the New Brunswick food scene and visit Midori Sushi for a quick lunch or intimate date.

Four Israeli worshippers killed at Jerusalem synagogue
JERUSALEM - Two Palestinians armed with a meat cleaver and a gun killed four worshippers in a Jerusalem synagogue yesterday before being shot dead by police, the deadliest such incident in six years in the holy city. Three of the victims held dual U.S.-Israeli citizenship, and the fourth man was a British-Israeli national, police said. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu accused Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas of inciting violence in the city and said the killings, along with a spate of recent attacks, were part of a “battle over Jerusalem.” “As a nation we will settle the score with every terrorist and their dispatchers, and we have proved we will do so, but no one may take the law into their own hands, even if spirits are riled and blood is boiling,” Netanyahu said in broadcast remarks. Abbas condemned the attack, which came after weeks of unrest fuelled in part by a dispute over Jerusalem‘s holiest site, known to Muslims as the Noble Sanctuary — containing the al-Aqsa mosque, the third holiest in Islam — and to Jews as the Temple Mount because the two Biblical temples once stood there. A worshipper in the Kehillat Bnei Torah synagogue in an ultraOrthodox neighborhood of Jewish West Jerusalem said about 25 people were praying in a service when shooting broke out. “I looked up and saw someone shooting people at point-blank range. Then someone came in with what looked like a butcher’s knife and he went wild,” Yosef Posternak told Israel Radio. Photos distributed by Israeli authorities showed a man in a prayer shawl lying dead, a bloodied butcher’s cleaver on the floor and prayer books covered in blood. U.S. President Barack Obama said in a statement: “I strongly condemn today’s terrorist attack on worshippers at a synagogue in Jerusalem, which killed four innocent people, including U.S. citizens Aryeh Kupinsky, Cary William Levine and Mosheh Twersky, and injured several more.” Speaking to reporters at the White House, Obama said too many Israelis and Palestinians had died in recent violence and called on both sides to lower tensions. U.S.-brokered peace talks collapsed in April after Abbas signed a unity deal with the Islamist group Hamas that advocates Israel‘s destruction. Palestinians have also been angered by continued Israeli settlement building in theWest Bank and East Jerusalem. Violence in Jerusalem, other areas of Israel and the Israeli-occupied Palestinian territories has surged in the past month. Abbas has said Muslims have a right to defend their sacred places if attacked. Five Israelis and a foreign visitor were killed in the Palestinian attacks that preceded yesterday’s incident. At least 10 Palestinians have also been killed, including those accused of carrying out the attacks prior to the synagogue assault.

Israeli police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said the two assailants, both from Israeli-annexed East Jerusalem, were shot dead by police in a gun battle outside the synagogue. Netanyahu said Israel would demolish their homes. Israel‘s ambulance service said at least eight people were seriously wounded. The militant Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine said it carried out the attack, calling it a “heroic operation”. The four dead — Twersky, 59, Kupinsky, 43, Levine, 55, and Avraham Shmuel Goldberg, a 68-year-old British-Israeli — were all ordained rabbis. A Jewish seminar y lecturer, Twersky was from a Hasidic rabbinical dynasty. Thousands of mourners attended his funeral. — Reuters

Solution to War on Drugs issue of civil liberties, rights LEGALIZING LIFE MATTHEW BOYER
T
ake a walk in the park as a suburban white man smoking a joint, and you will most likely feel remotely safe. Now, take the same walk but in an urban area as a black man, and you might not feel that same way. In fact, you’re more likely to be disproportionately victim to America’s great War on Drugs. This is the reality of our nation’s desire to legislate morality and interfere in the free market. Since liberty is a whole, it is difficult to orchestrate social policy, which does not impact economic outcomes and vice versa. Today in the United States, we are experiencing what author Michelle Alexander coined in her book, “The New Jim Crow.” As the War on Drugs continues under both establishment Democrats and Republicans alike, it is time Americans looked inward and challenged themselves as much as they do their elected officials on exactly what it means to legalize drugs. The reality of the War on Drugs is not successfully breaking down the Mexican cartel network or dismantling the violent gangs in our nation’s urban centers, but it is, in fact, the opposite. These anti-market policies actually fuel said violence. The U.S. has the highest in-
carceration rate of any comparable developed country. About half of those imprisoned are there due to non-violent drug offenses, many of which are cases that would not have been seen as criminal prior to our nation’s War on Drugs. Not to mention, the majority of these inmates are black men, despite statistics proving there is a similar level of drug use across races. It is only natural to question the motive of statists when they pursue initiatives aimed at legislating morality, when the fruition of such policies is simply discriminatory. The War on
tion of producing, manufacturing, distributing and selling a particular good or service in the marketplace. These policies are antithetical to the free market and favorable to government. Just as American prohibition of alcohol in the 1920s resulted in gang violence and a huge black market of speakeasies and an underground culture, the current War on Drugs produces similar consequences. The mass prohibition of marijuana is the best modern example of this injustice. The drug cartel makes profit from the high demand for the substance
“The nature of any war against drugs is an economic prohibition. That is the criminalization of producing, manufacturing, distributing and selling a particular good or service in the marketplace. These policies are antithetical to the free market and favorable to government.” Drugs has been championed and propelled by a coalition of statists in politics, or people who believe government should be in control of some or all parts of society and the economy. Although supporters of the War on Drugs will tell you such initiatives are necessary to fight crime, the reality of such policies is the discriminatory incarceration of nonviolent offenders and the flourishing of cartels that bear the illegal yet profitable burden of production under prohibition. The nature of any war against drugs is an economic prohibition. That is the criminaliza-
in the U.S. black market. Additionally, just as some of our ancestors could tell stories about friends and family members who illegally profited off their sale of alcohol, today many could do the same with marijuana. The enforcement of this prohibition does not come without greater financial or societal consequences. With the U.S. federal debt approaching $18 trillion, you would expect our officials to look at cutting costly failed programs such as those pertaining to the War on Drugs. Unfortunately, our crony friends in the government benefit
from these programs. It is the government contracts to prison systems, civil forfeiture training organizations and weapons dealers that see this financial gain. Meanwhile, black men are being stripped of their voting rights for nonviolent felonies, young kids are having their future educations ruined due to charges that prevent financial aid and sick children cannot get the medicinal marijuana they need and deserve. Today, desire for justice and a thirst for liberty and the free market have shifted momentum in favor of common sense solutions to the War on Drugs. In 2012, Colorado and Washington legalized marijuana, and since then, many states have decriminalized possession or legalized medicinal or recreational pot. This is a great example of how federalism works. As many states reap the benefits of marijuana in the marketplace — be it jobs, medical benefits or simply individual choice — it seems more likely that the federal government will follow suit. In light of the upcoming 2016 presidential elections, keep in mind which candidates are actually dedicated to solving the civil rights issues of our generation. Keep liberty and prosperity in mind.

COMMENTARY ZEV NEWMAN
I
n Monday’s opinions piece entitled “Photo published of ‘die-in’ shows inappropriate bias,” Abeerah Wasti writes that during a recent anti-Israel demonstration put on by the Rutgers-New Brunswick chapter of Students for Justice in Palestine at Brower Commons, “Zionist organizers made fun of people lying on the ground, placing pamphlets on their bodies and placing their feet near their faces.” As someone who was present at the event from the beginning to the end, I can tell you first-hand that this is a blatant lie and never occurred. Furthermore, Wasti writes that pro-Israel students were dancing to celebrate the death of Palestinians. This is a gross misinterpretation of their intentions, which were merely to celebrate their love for Israel, not the death of anyone. You would be hard-pressed to find a single pro-Israel student who does not find the death of innocents on either side tragic. Wasti makes an effort to paint Students for Justice in Palestine as a pro-Palestinian organization interested in “celebrating Palestine and its people.” My question is this: How is lying down in red-stained T-shirts pretending to be dead celebrating the Palestinian people? Is it not just another attempt by “pro-Palestinian” activists to demonize Israel? Wasti attempts to argue that being anti-Israel should not be equated to being anti-Semitic. I agree. In fact, as a strong supporter of the Jewish state, I am at times critical of the Israeli government, which, like any government, is not perfect. However, with regards to SJP, the organization Wasti defends, the line between being anti-Israel and anti-Semitic is very thin. SJP claims to be concerned about the Palestinians’ human rights, yet time and again singles out the lone Jewish state for criticism
while ignoring other states that mistreat Palestinians. As a senior who has followed SJP’s events for four years, never have I seen SJP rally for the 400,000 Palestinians in Lebanon barred from citizenship, desirable occupations and property ownership. Never have I seen SJP protest the Jordanian government for discriminating against millions of Palestinians, including forcibly detaining them in refugee camps and annulling many of their citizenship rights. Never have I seen SJP demonstrate for the thousands of Palestinians who have been slaughtered in the Syrian civil war. The fact that SJP repeatedly singles out Israel for condemnation while ignoring the vast human rights violations against Palestinians in other countries makes me question whether SJP is truly concerned about the Palestinians or whether their motives lie elsewhere. Furthermore, during the die-in, SJP members openly shouted, “From the river to the sea, Palestine shall be free.” This statement refers to the entire area between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea, including the Jewish state. This statement clearly affirms that SJP openly supports a Palestinian state in place of Israel, effectively reversing 1948 and eliminating the Jewish state. A statement like this and the fact that the only state singled out is the Jewish one is testament to the anti-Semitic nature of SJP. Overall, the pro-Israel and pro-Palestine demonstrations that took place at Brower Commons were schismatic and unproductive. Instead of pointing fingers, both pro-Israel and pro-Palestine activists should make an effort to recognize that flaws exist on both sides. Instead of one-sided demonstrations that often encourage hate and divisiveness, we should work as a student body to promote dialogue and the exchange of ideas in a respectful, productive way.

RUN Scaife scored nine of her 15 points in first half, sparking 29-13 run to end period CONTINUED FROM BACK But it didn’t go that way. Shots flew and they clanked off the rim. The Knights shot 38 percent from the field through the first eight minutes of the contest. Coming off the timeout, Rutgers hit the ground running and didn’t look back. Despite Northeastern’s early energy, the Knights wore the Huskies down with speed in the transition game and suffocating defense that led to a pair of shot clock violations in the opening half. Scaife opened up cold, but once she started going, she didn’t stop. Dropping nine of her 15 points in the first half, Scaife served as a key catalyst in the momentum shift, ending a 29-13 run to end the half on a pull up shot from the freethrow line at the buzzer to send the Knights into the locker room with a 35-25 stranglehold. Scaife attributed the cohesiveness between her and junior guard Briyona Canty, running the court and hitting shots, as a key one-two punch that lifted the offense and seized the momentum. “We just got into our game and pushing the ball up the court,” Scaife said. “Briyona did a great job of finding me, so I was trying to finish for her. … At that point and time, we did let it flow, so it was just easy buckets.” When the second half got underway, Stringer decided to kick things up a notch. From the beginning Northeastern inbound, Rutgers swarmed with Stringer’s famous “55” full court press. The scheme stirred the Huskies into a frenzy, frantically turning the ball over a total of 22 times on the night.
REDEMPTION MacDonald returns to RAC after hitting winning shot against Rutgers last year CONTINUED FROM BACK game-winning 3-point shot from guard Matt MacDonald with 25.8 seconds remaining. Though Fairleigh Dickinson lost its top-scorer in guard Sidney Sanders Jr. to graduation, they return with MacDonald and guard Mustafaa Jones, who replicated MacDonald’s heroics by delivering a game-winning 3-point shot in their season opener at Saint Joseph’s, an NCAA Tournament team last year. Another similarity to last year’s game is that the Scarlet Knights are likely to be without forward Kadeem Jack, who remains questionable with a thumb injury after missing last year’s contest with a sore lower right leg. Given Rutgers’ sloppy performance without the team’s star senior and lack of a consistent scorer aside from senior guard Myles Mack, Jack’s absence makes a huge difference. “It takes a vocal leader away from us on the court, and it definitely takes away a lot on the rebounding and offensive end,” said freshman forward D.J. Foreman on Jack’s injury. Should Jack be unable to play, the Knights will need one of their players to be more efficient offensively.
Junior guard Briyona Canty dribbles the ball down the RAC floor last night against Northeastern. Canty was one of five Knights to finish with double figures in scoring, netting 12 points and recording a team-high 10 assists in the 74-60 win. YANGENG LIN / STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER On the other end of the floor, the Knights cashed in. As Canty and Scaife ran rampantly with the ball from end to end, it opened up opportunities on all areas of the hardwood. The Knights had five players score double-figures. Betnijah Laney found her groove in the midst of the up-tempo attack, camping out on both sides of the baseline and nailing jumper after jumper. The senior wing ended her night with her second consecutive double-double of the season, posting 14 points and grabbing 13 rebounds. As she began to increase her activity in the second half, Canty
became a critical asset to the tempo of Rutgers’ game. She dropped 12 points and dished out 10 assists for her first-career double-double. “I think it was just a major part,” Canty said of her game. “Me, being a point guard, I have a major role for the team, so I think getting them involved first was my first goal. And then I took shots in rotation.” With so many viable scoring options on the court, the interior opened up for Rachel Hollivay. The 6-foot-4 junior center towered over an undersized and undermanned Northeastern squad that consisted of eight players, dominating in the paint with 10

points and a swat sent deep into the baseline bleachers. Junior wing Kahleah Copper gradually got into the action. Her midrange game and penetration took off in the second half. She contributed 10 points, five rebounds and four assists. Even with all of the positives taken away from the Knights’ second victory of the season, Stringer still sees a need to pick up the intensity and get off to better starts from the jump. But with an upperclassmen-laden team filled with returning players who know the consequences of failing to make those adjustments,
Stringer has no doubt that those tweaks will be made. “We’ve had, traditionally, a problem with being slow or difficult for us to get started,” she said. “… I just feel that with this group being as senior-bound and junior-bound as they are, they need to know — it’s just as simple as that. We all felt the same thing last year — the pride, the disappointment, the joy, the hurt — we felt that and we know what it is. So I don’t need to reiterate that … the leadership has been there.” For updates on the Rutgers women’s basketball team, follow @GarrettStepien and @TargumSports on Twitter.

November 19, 2014 KNIGHT NOTEBOOK RUTGERS PRACTICES ON GRASS FIELD TO PREPARE FOR SPARTANS STADIUM
Sophomore cornerback Anthony Cioffi said Tuesday’s practice was one of the coldest in the year and that he could barely feel his hands afterward. Cioffi said he has to prepare mentally for the cold and adjust to playing on Rutgers’ first grass field of the season, wearing different cleats. MICHELLE KLEJMONT / PHOTO EDITOR
Cold weather offers tough adjustment for RU at Spartans TYLER KARALEWICH ASSOCIATE SPORTS EDITOR
It was no secret for the Rutgers football team when everybody exited practice Tuesday: it’s cold. And it’s going to stay this cold for the rest of the week in New Jersey. With highs for the week hovering around freezing and temperatures dipping well below that, the Scarlet Knights will be prepared.
After all, Rutgers will travel to East Lansing, Michigan, to face Michigan State on Sunday, and the forecast consists of snow with a weeklong winter weather advisory. That is one of the many differences the Knights will face in a Spartans team that has been ranked in the top 25 all season. What becomes more difficult is the fact that Rutgers will play Michigan State in its element.
“Once you get moving around, you really don’t feel it. It’s only the guys standing around, like the coaches, that feel it,” head coach Kyle Flood joked. “Nah, the players, once they start moving, I don’t see any difference.” It was so cold during Tuesday’s practice that when sophomore cornerback Anthony Cioffi came into the Tennis House to meet with the media, he could

November 19, 2014 MEN’S CROSS COUNTRY RUTGERS RAN 10K AT MID-ATLANTIC REGIONALS LAST WEEKEND
Coach instills confidence in runners for best results MIKE O’SULLIVAN STAFF WRITER
The Rutgers men’s cross country team nears the completion of a season in which it dealt with many issues brought forth by the youth of the team. The Scarlet Knights have been getting acclimated to the college race schedule, along with an intense training regimen. Longer race distances are also another part of the adjustment, like last weekend’s 10K race at the Mid-Atlantic Regionals where the Knights ran twice the distance they ran in high school. To keep the team’s composure and their improvement levels up, head coach Mike Mulqueen has made it a point of emphasis to instill confidence throughout his team, saying it is vital to success. “Confidence plays a big part in running, like it does in all sports,” Mulqueen said. “This young group that we have is getting more confident with each race.”
Mulqueen gives motivational speeches prior to races and during the week of practice, tr ying to get the Knights in the right mindset to run to the best of their abilities. It has certainly worked in recent weeks. Despite not having top team finishes in races, the Knights have seen their times continue to drop like they hoped for during championship season. Veterans on the team, like junior Jaimin Vekaria, know how critical confidence can be toward getting in the right mindset prior to a race. “Going into a race, like how we just ran a 10K [at the NCAA Regionals], it’s good to have a confident mindset,” Vekaria said. “It’s good to know that you can do it, and you don’t want to psyche yourself out. … We know we are strong enough to run well, so it’s good to have a strong mindset.” Establishing a strong mindset stems from the leadership of veterans on the team.

VOLLEYBALL RUTGERS-PURDUE, TONIGHT, 7 P.M
Knights seek efficiency offensively in road trip CONOR NORDLAND CORRESPONDENT
Entering its last two road games of the season, the Rutgers volleyball team carries the same goal as it has all year long: to improve as a team. The Scarlet Knights (7-22, 0-16) have been out of playoff contention for some time now and have been focusing on areas of their game that go beyond wins and losses. Even though they have not won a conference game this season, head coach CJ Werneke has preached the same message of self-improvement to his team. Werneke detailed how he has seen evidence of how far his team has come since the outset of conference play. “We have to continue to fight,” Werneke said. “It is great to see our players still going strong in the last week and a half of practices, wanting to improve and putting in the efforts to get better, and that is being proven in the results. The [question] moving forward is, how do we get better? Everyone we will play for the rest of the season will be the second time around facing them, so one of our goals is to be better than the first time we played them.” The Knights look to continue improving their own game this weekend against Purdue (21-7, 115) and Michigan State (14-13, 7-9). In its first contests against both teams, Rutgers lost in three straight sets. Facing the Boilermakers, the Knights lost by scores of 25-20, 25-14 and 25-23. Against the Spartans, they fell 2516, 25-21 and 25-21. But that was the first time these teams faced each other. This time around, Rutgers is looking to build on what were two competitive matches early on in conference play. “We’re definitely looking to score some more points on them and take some games away from them even if
we don’t win,” said sophomore outside hitter Cole Trimble. “Statistically, we need to improve our passing and hitting from where we were the first time against them.” Rutgers managed only 26 kills while posting a .126 hitting percentage and accumulated 25 assists against Purdue the first time it played them. In order to be more successful this time around, the Knights will have to find ways to score, starting with how they play on their own side of the net. “We have been working on limiting what their top-two hitters will be able to do against us, and it starts at the front of the net with blocking and comes down to good defense and passing against them,” said junior libero Ali Schroeter. Purdue ranks third in the Big Ten in hitting percentage (.268), assists per set (13.25) and kills per set (14.37). This is due in large to the play of outside hitter Annie Drews, who is first in the Big Ten with 3.99 kills per set, and middle blocker Kierra Jones, who ranks fifth in Big Ten in hitting percentage at .378 percent. Improvement for Rutgers defensively starts with Schroeter, who is currently fifth in the Big Ten with 4.2 digs per set. As the defensive anchor in the middle, Schroeter will have to improve her performance after admitting she did not play up to her capabilities the first time out against Purdue. Despite the statistical advantages on paper for the Boilermakers, the Knights are not prioritizing what the final score may be against them. Werneke’s main goal is to see the team’s improvement from where it was the last time it played Purdue. “Although it’s been a long season and one where we haven’t seen a lot of victories, there’s no doubt in our staff’s minds and our players’ minds that we are getting better,” he said.
to make sure their younger teammates are feeling good before each race. Vekaria knows it is imperative to make sure everyone is in the right frame of mind when racing, especially for the many newcomers to college racing on the Knights’ roster. “Usually, I’ll tell some of the guys what to expect heading into a race,” he said. “We’ll go out to the course the day before a race to go over some things. It does help a bit, but actually going out there and running it is different.” This kind of course previewing has proven to be effective for the Knights, allowing them to mentally prepare themselves for what the challenges of the course will be the next day. Newcomers have gained valuable knowledge from taking part in the previewing with their older teammates, increasing their confidence level as they get ready to run on various courses that they were unfamiliar with.
Junior Jaimin Vekaria said having a strong mindset is almost as important as having the ability to run well during longer races. EDWIN GANO / STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER
“I’ve found that confidence has a lot to do with how well we can perform in a race,” said freshman Alexander Livernois. “Once you’re in a race scenario, there is nothing else you can really do physically because you’re using ever ything you have in your body. Then, what you have
left is your mental ability to be able to push through adversity, and you have to be confident enough in your abilities to push yourself to your limit.” For updates on the Rutgers cross country teams, follow @TargumSpor ts on Twitter.

WOMEN’S BASKETBALL RUTGERS 74, NORTHEASTERN 60
RU tops Huskies with commanding run GARRETT STEPIEN CORRESPONDENT
Five minutes passed and C. Vivian Stringer decided enough was enough. At the 14:51 mark in the first half of the Rutgers women’s basketball team’s second game of the season in front of a silenced crowd at the Louis Brown Athletic Center, a bad omen lingered. While the No. 22 Scarlet Knights struggled from the field, Northeastern took advantage and scrapped its way to an early but shocking 12-6 lead. Sophomore guard Tyler Scaife was helped off the court and into the locker room with an injury to her left wrist. With her status in question for a few minutes, so was the play of the team. That led Stringer to intervene. “It’s the same thing that we knew we needed to do from the beginning. We just weren’t as intense or as sharp as we needed to be,” the head coach said. “… I thought we could get more points if we just went to attack, so we tried to do a little bit more of that and move the ball.” Scaife, along with the team’s play, returned to the floor minutes later. The Knights came out resurgent and hungr y on a 14-0 run, outplaying Northeastern to the final buzzer of the first half and bur ying the Huskies in the second half in a 74-60 walloping on Tuesday night. Following a 70-53 statement win last Friday in the season opener at home against St. Joseph’s, a team that reached the Round of 32 in last year’s NCAA Tournament, many expected Rutgers (2-0) to immediately come out and pound Northeastern (1-1) away. Sophomore guard Tyler Scaife dribbles past a Northeastern player last night at the RAC. Scaife led Rutgers with 15 points in the Knights’ win. She left with an apparent wrist injury early on, but returned to spark a 14-0 run. YANGENG LIN / STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER

It was supposed to be a statement game. Opening its Big Ten inaugural season at home, hosting an NCAA tournament-caliber team and boasting a new-look roster, the stage was set for the Rutgers men’s basketball team to send an early message. But instead of stepping on the opponent’s throat like junior guard Bishop Daniels said at practice earlier in the week, it was George Washington delivering the fatal blows. “We got punched in the mouth,” said head coach Eddie Jordan after the 70-53 loss to George Washington on Sunday. “They’re physical, they got offensive rebounds, put-

backs, they made shots … and we got to convert. We just didn’t convert.” Now, the Scarlet Knights (0-1) must quickly regroup as they host in-state rivals Fairleigh Dickinson at the Louis Brown Athletic Center. A Wednesday night matchup against a team that finished 10-26 last year would seem like a perfect opportunity for a rebound win following a tough outing on Sunday. But while Fairleigh Dickinson (2-0) is not the flashiest game with the likes of Vanderbilt and Clemson on the horizon, the team is certainly not a pushover.
