Report shows changes in higher education costs ERIN PETENKO ASSOCIATE NEWS EDITOR
The condition of tuition increases and student debt is improving across the country, according to a new series of reports on the subject. But the improvement represents a deceleration of current cost and debt increases, rather than a reversal of the trend of the past few decades. Price increases are not stopping, but they have slowed down in the past five years, said Jennifer Ma, a policy research scientist for The College Board. Her report compared the cost of tuition and fees over the past five years for a variety of colleges. “The price increases lately are rather moderate,” she said. “The increase is the lowest since the mid-1970s.”
The national average price increase in in-state published tuition and fees between the 2013-14 and 2014-15 academic year was 2.9 percent. The average tuition and fees total for public four-year institutions was $9,139 for 2014-15, according to the report. New Jersey is hardly the leader in that trend. Rutgers, with an annual tuition and fees total of more than $13,000, has the fifth-highest in-state tuition and fees in the nation, Ma said. But Rutgers performs much better in price increases. It had the seventh-lowest price increase over the past five years among flagship universities, or the major universities in each state. In the past five years, Rutgers’ price increases totaled just 5 percent. SEE COSTS ON PAGE 5

Barchi discusses U. financial state THE DAILY TARGUM It’s no secret that Rutgers does not operate on an infinite budget. But at a meeting with the editorial board of The Daily Targum on Monday, University President Robert L. Barchi cited several reasons for concern about its financial state, including sluggish alumni donations, a small operating margin and one of the smallest endowments in the Association of American Universities.
ALUMNI GIVING
He also described the methods he is using to combat that issue, beginning with increasing alumni philanthropy.
BARCHI: I have been going around the country, trying to meet with alumni and people who are interested in the University, and we connect the University with the people who are out there. We have 450,000 alumni, and the overwhelming majority of them have had nothing to do with the University over the years. Our participation rate here has been one of the lowest in the nation, around 8 percent, and it’s the lowest in the AAU. It’s not because alumni aren’t interested — it’s because we haven’t done a very good job of connecting with them and keeping them connected. One part of what I have been doing since I came was to get out there and start to
reconnect with the alumni groups and alumni clubs. … Part two has been something I have started this year, which was to take faculty from Rutgers on the road. And we are just starting that — we have done two of them so far. We did one that had to do with autism and one this past weekend that had to do with Ebola and HIV. … I take some of our best faculty, usually just two or three people who will spend time talking to them about some topic that they are particularly interested in and bring some of the depth of knowledge SEE STATE ON PAGE 5

Eagleton details Asian, Latino voting influences DAN COREY STAFF WRITER
Of the 1.7 million New Jersey voters who participated in the 2014 midterm election, Asian American and Latino voters had a larger impact on the results than most people realize, Sayu Bhojwani said. Bhojwani, a visiting scholar at the Eagleton Institute of Politics, brought Glenn Magpantay and Julissa Gutierrez to Rutgers to address their respective ethnic communities with a panel discussion at the event, “Asian and Latino Vote in the 2014 Election” yesterday. Bhojwani brought the two panelists to Eagleton primarily to speak to her class, “Topics in American Politics: Politics and the New Majority.” Many people are unaware of the impact Asian Americans and Latinos can have on national and local elections. Bhojwani hoped her students would hear the “untold stories” of these two ethnic groups that are not heard often in mainstream media.
“[The class has] been talking a lot about how the demographics are changing and how democracy is being affected by [it],” Bhojwani said. “For me, it’s about the students and the general audience understanding the impact these communities are having on the political process.” Gutierrez, director of National Programs and Community Relations and Northeast director of Civic Engagement at the NALEO Educational Fund, discussed the need to engage the Latino community during election season. The primary reason Latinos are underrepresented in Congress is due to “The Great Unengaged.” This portion of the Latino population consists of individuals who are eligible to vote but never turn out on Election Day. The existence of “The Great Unengaged” can be attributed to various barriers to participation in civic activity, such as the naturalization SEE EAGLETON ON PAGE 4

Experts analyze benefits of horse racing, casino gambling in New Jersey KELSEY WEIDMANN STAFF WRITER
Nowhere in New Jersey can one find casino gambling and horseback racing in the same place. This is putting pressure on both industries, according to a study entitled “2014 State of the New Jersey Horse Racing Industry” by Karyn
Malinowski, professor and director of the Rutgers Equine Science Center, and Paul Gottlieb, chair of the Rutgers Department of Agricultural, Food, and Resource Economics. It is illegal to have these combination destinations in New Jersey, but this is not the case in Delaware, New York and Pennsylvania, Malinowski said.
“Racinos,” or casinos located at racetracks, located in New York and Pennsylvania, have been luring New Jersey gamblers from tracks for several years, said Shelly Liggett, president of the New Jersey Horse Council. New Jersey’s once-prominent racing SEE GAMBLING ON PAGE 4

She noted the events were not just intended for creative writers. Davis said when writing about experiences from her own point of view, it can be hard to transcribe those elements into words that can connect with others. Making that connection can be difficult, but not impossible. Davis described “Duplex” as a collection of short stories where the time frame is futuristic and almost fantasy-like. The novel teeters on the edge of dreams and reality. When Davis took the stage, she decided to read a chapter in the book, “The Rain of Beads.” Davis told a tale of a young girl, Janice, who saw the world dif ferently than those around her. She believed ever ything that she was told to be false was true and develops a relationship with her dance par tner, a living robot. “They danced and they danced. The robot knew exactly how to lead the girl to make it seem like she knew what she was doing,” she read. The chapter bounced between the dark and light elements of the world, one in which fantasy has the ability to take over the mind. Davis said the inspiration, or rather the idea for the novel, came from the place where she grew up as a child. She recalled a family in her town that acted in a way that she could only describe as robotic. “There was just something off about the family, and although as a child growing up, we never said the Abbots were robots … that was the only explanation,” she said. Davis discussed the nature of her metaphors, which could have a deeper purpose or simply be a way to get the reader to think past his or her own world and experiences. The entire book plays with the notion that ever ything could be a metaphor, she said. CONTRIBUTING WRITER

process for immigrants, which can last more than six months. The need for administrative relief from fraudulent scams makes a direct path to citizenship difficult to achieve. This facilitates the creation of an unequal American society. “We would like to see [a direct path] because if there is no path to citizenship, that creates a second-class citizenry,” Gutierrez said. “You can’t really be a democratic state [with] a second-class citizenry.” Magpantay, director of the Democracy Program at the Asian American Legal Defense and Education Fund, presented the legal element of minority voters by analyzing the violation of the 1965 Voting Rights Act. Asian Americans are the fastest-growing minority group in the United States, but Magpantay said Asian Americans in particular have been overlooked
both by the political process and by most candidates. On a grand scale, the elected officials within the United States have failed to represent the diversity of contemporary American society. “I think that we need a greater appreciation for the need for more diversity in the electorate and in institutions of government,” he said. “America has become much more diverse in the last 40 years ... politics has not necessarily kept up.” In addition to presenting his statistical findings on Asian American voting patterns, Magpantay spoke about different obstacles to voters from a legal perspective. He cited a polling location in Norwood, New Jersey, where a considerable number of Korean voters were not provided an interpreter upon request. This scenario was an overt violation of the VRA’s Language Assistance Provision, Section 203.
“I enforce the Constitution of the United States and the Voting Rights Act in order to guarantee that the right to vote fully applies to all American citizens,” Magpantay said. “I don’t work in the political arena. I sue the political arena.” Bhojwani then opened up the floor to her “Topics in American Politics” students to ask questions concerning the Asian American and Latino voting patterns. “We’ve talked about politics more generally — who are the people that turn out at the polls and the reasons for [why] they turn out?” Bhojwani said. “It’s about understanding both the challenges and the opportunities.” Even though Asian Americans and Latinos are separate in terms of race, both ethnicities share the same struggles, live in similar environments and need to be further assimilated in political practice. “Many of our challenges are the same, and we are [living] together in many communities,” Gutierrez said. “I think that we would love to see more examination of how we can better alleviate the issues of [voters].”
GAMBLING Horse breeding industry uses 25 percent of remaining agricultural land in New Jersey CONTINUED FROM FRONT
and breeding industr y is close to collapse. Even though New Jersey does have both racetracks and casinos, that is not enough, said Gottlieb, also an associate professor in DAFRE. People are demanding the full package. Gottlieb said the industries themselves are also changing, further complicating the issue. Gambling used to be a whole affair in which people would go away on weekend excursions to Atlantic City or Las Vegas, but it has shifted into a day-trip activity. “And so the competition for the gambling dollar has become a lot more like competition for the ordinary retail dollar, something that people do close to home,” Gottlieb said. Having additional gambling options available at racetracks is regarded as essential to the future
of both industries. It is not about racetracks versus casinos, but about New Jersey’s competition with neighboring states for gambling dollars. “We argue we are all in it together here,” Gottlieb said. In conducting the report, Malinowski and Gottlieb tried to figure out how to rescue the equine industry, which not only includes the racetracks, but also breeding and hay farms. The horse is New Jersey’s state animal, and Gottlieb believes it is the state’s mission to save it, especially because horses are adored by many and are used for different kinds of therapy. “We think the more young people get to know horses, the happier they are,” he said. Another objective is to preserve the agricultural industry and tradition within the state. According to the New Jersey open space ballot that passed on Nov. 4, people want open space in the Garden State, said Malinowski, also a professor in the Department of Animal Sciences. Malinowski’s 2007 economic study showed that 25 percent of the agricultural land left in New Jersey is being used by of the horse industry. “Horse farms are not entering the farmland preser vation programs, and so we stand to lose more of our beautiful, agriculturally viable open space,” Malinowski said. At the University, the horse industry must be kept “alive and thriving” for the Equine Science Center because it is a major area of research among faculty and pre-veterinary students. Economically, horse racing is of great importance because the money that it collects flows back into the industr y, either into breeding, hay farms, large-animal veterinar y centers or saddle shops. Casinos at New Jersey tracks would also give a tremendous boost to the dining, entertainment and lodging industries associated with them, Liggett said. “As the industr y gets smaller over time, bits and pieces of support industries … decline,” Gottlieb said. “Supporting industries go away, and then the whole thing could tumble like a house of cards.” Since the industry is still relatively large in New Jersey, it might not take that much investment to retain its “critical mass.” Racetracks like the Monmouth Park Racetrack in Oceanport, New Jersey, have taken major risks by investing in new attractions for their venues, like sports, in hopes of having sports wagering approved by now — but it has not been, Malinowski said. Next year, the horse industry is going to ask voters in New Jersey if they want casino gaming outside of Atlantic City. This study is an update of one that began in 2003 and was released in 2009. “At the Equine Science Center, we have to be visionar y,” Malinowski said. “And we predicted that some of these things were going to happen in 2003, and now, a decade later, it is coming true.”

STATE Rutgers has endowment of $800 million, lagging in comparison to other state universities CONTINUED FROM FRONT
and depth of expertise that we have here out to them. So there is value added. So that is the plan for this year. We are doing about four of five of them around the country each year. … And the third kind of fact finding, if you will, is the connection that I am doing with their leaders of academia. We spend a lot of time with our AAU colleagues and talk about what the big issues are at their universities, and we are not alone in this. This is a crisis time for higher education, it truly a crisis both in terms of funding and expectations and how we have changed the business model of delivering an education, what works and what doesn’t work.
FINANCIAL STATE OF RUTGERS
To illustrate Rutgers’ financial difficulties, Barchi said the University has a .5 percent operating margin, or the difference between its revenue and its budget, which is about $3.6 billion a year. Most businesses have at least a 15 percent operating margin, he said. BARCHI: We’re in a very tight place, and it’s for a number of reasons. One is that we’re picking up a lot of bills that, frankly, probably shouldn’t be ours ... with the integration and things like that. The second is that we don’t have an endowment. We have an endowment of $800 million, which is one of the lowest, if not the lowest in the AAU. So we don’t have the revenue from that investment that can be a revenue source. And the third is that we don’t have money from philanthropy. This year, we had a record of a $160 million a year, total. And that’s not very big. So the places that you normally go to, to generate the revenue to do the things you’d like to do — it’s very tough here. … [There are] so many things that I’d like for us to do. Academic program wise, scholarship wise, you name it. ... But there’s no golden pot of coins somewhere. [There] just isn’t. … People ask me, “Well, what do you do? Why don’t we get to talk to you?” Well, that’s what I’m doing — all this stuff. I’m trying to make it possible for [executive
vice president of academic affairs, Chancellor Richard L. Edwards] to do the academic stuff things that he wants to do.
REVENUE SOURCES
BARCHI: If you think about the revenue sources that a University has, we’re not doing so well, and we could do better. Obviously, we could do better in our research, in our grants. ... Universities lose 50 to 20 cents on every dollar of research that they do. That’s true, but we’ve already paid for the infrastructure. We’ve already paid the fixed costs. So when we get another research grant, that brings in indirect cost recovery from the federal government, [and] that money then drops to the bottom line. That money is a real asset for the University. So the more research we do, it’s not that we’re making money on research, it’s that we’re losing less on research. And that’s a good thing. So that’s one thing we can do. The second is the whole concept of public-private partnerships ... so that they support us financially, but they get from us something that’s valuable for their business. [There are a lot] of areas to work on there from tech transfer and patenting, but also with development in our various schools. ... The third area is fundraising. We just have to do better than we’re doing right now. We have to. And we were struggling to break $100 million when I came onboard. We had $160 [million] last year, pushing a target of over $170 [million] next year, and I want to see it over $200 [million] in the next couple years. ... Everything I mentioned about corporate restructuring is not just about delivering services — it’s about reducing cost. You can’t do all this on the revenue side. You’ve got to be looking at the cost structure too. And you can’t do it by taking 5 percent out of everybody’s budget. You can do that one year, maybe twice, and then you start eroding the core mission. You have to do it by being smart, by reducing costs where you can actually do things more effectively. So those are the areas that I’m thinking about. This ar ticle is a par t of a series. For more on Targum’s interview with Barchi, check out www.dailytargum.com.
The report also measured the amount of student aid and found that loan borrowing is slowing down. “There is more grant aid than loans for undergraduates … which is probably because enrollment is down,” she said. The slowing price increases may relate to the improving economy, as well as the improved state funding in many locations. These conditions mean universities do not have to increase tuition as much as before. “After many years of price increases, there has been public pressure to keep tuition low,” she said. Net prices, which represent the cost of attendance after grant aid is subtracted from costs, have also increased. But they have not increased as much as the costs themselves, indicating that more grant aid is going to students.
The average in-state full-time undergraduate student receives $6,110 in aid at four-year public institutions in 2014-15, according to the report. Meanwhile, Matthew Reed, program director for the Institute for College Access and Success, or TICAS, said its offshoot, The Project on Student Debt, compared student debt load from state to state. It found that 69 percent of students who graduate from public and private nonprofit colleges in 2013 have debt upon graduation, and the average debt is $28,400. Student debt is still rising about 2 percent, but it is not rising as fast as it did in recent years. “We don’t know exactly what it is,” he said. “Some students and families can take on more cost, because of the improving economy. But since we don’t measure parent debt, only student debt, parents and families may still be borrowing.” New Jersey places 18th in the nation in student debt load, Reed said.
Seventy percent of students graduate with debt, with an average debt load of $28,109 in 2013. It is an unusual state, since three-quarters of students graduate from public colleges, he said. “The public colleges [in New Jersey] have higher costs compared to other states, but grant aid is higher,” he said. Still, when grant aid does not keep up with tuition, it is left to students’ families to cover the remaining cost. Reed advised them to turn to public rather than private sources of loans. Public loans come with protects such as income-based repayment plans, whereas private loans can have variable rates. Reed’s organization is calling for better reporting from private loan lenders as well as universities. Colleges report big swings in debt from one year to another, which raises questions about the accuracy of their calculations. “Only with comprehensive, reliable data for every college will we see the full picture of student debt,” Reed said in a press release. “This is too important an issue for students, schools and policymakers to rely on voluntary, self-reported data.”

Rutgers student keeps music alive through social media BRENDA STOLYAR FEATURES EDITOR
The future is a constant thought in the minds of college students, but they often follow the path of landing a career for someone, rather than creating one for themselves. A senior at Rutgers decided to mold his passion and educational background into a music management business that he plans to expand after he graduates. Alex Peterson, a School of Arts and Sciences senior, noticed New Brunswick had a tightly knit music scene and decided to start his own music management company, Haymaker Management, as well as an educational page that links current rock music with historic and classic rock. With genres such as EDM, rap and pop music on the rise in younger generations, Peterson wanted to attempt to spark interest in classic rock and inform others about the history of musical legends still relevant today. Along with his friend Matt DeBenedetti, Peterson decided to use social media to create an educational platform that would showcase archives while also acting as an outlet for independent and underground bands to bring in more traffic. “Through ‘Keep ROCK Rolling,’ I wanted to take what rock
and roll has done positively for mankind,” Peterson said. “[I wanted to] show its huge influence and power among the people on a social platform to the younger generations and how influential and positive it can be to all of us for our future.” As the “Keep ROCK Rolling” Facebook page has gained more than 3,000 likes and its Twitter page more than 12,000 followers, Peterson ultimately plans to expand the platform into a website. He hopes to develop a team of field writers that will focus on reviewing local artists and shows from a musical standpoint. Peterson’s other music-related project is a management group alongside hometown friend Madison Ouellette, a student at The College New Jersey. They knew there was a gap in the underground scene for representation of independent bands. “I was doing a lot of research on [people] like David Geffen … who continued in the music industry on a more corporate level but started out independent,” Peterson said. “I was like, ‘What’s holding me back? There’s a huge music scene in New Jersey [where] no one’s getting represented at all. Might as well go out and just do it.’” With a position at WRSU-FM’s “Overnight Sensations,” which
runs ever y Friday night and is dedicated to strictly independent music, Peterson would attend local basement shows and made an effort to collect each band’s contact information. Peterson’s instrumental music background and Ouellette’s experience working at her school’s radio station allowed them to work together to help manage wellknown New Jersey-based bands, such as The Blithedale Romance and Monterey. Although the management group is currently not a legitimate entity, it takes on all of the tasks an actual band representative would. Both Peterson and Ouellette work together to market the bands, schedule shows and send out music to booking agencies. Peterson does plan on taking the management company to an entirely new level upon graduation and hopes to eventually go corporate. “One thing I really stress is the fact that it’s not our ‘company.’ It’s not like a business … we’re a family, it’s a community, it’s collective [and] we all work together,” Peterson said. “In this modern age, it’s all about DIY and DIY involves everybody’s input.” For more stories on arts and entertainment, food and lifestyle check out targuminsidebeat.com.

Bowl eligibility huge accomplishment for Scarlet Knights STUMPER’S SPORTS JAMES STUMPER
L
ast Saturday, the Rutgers football team ended the home por tion of their schedule in style, defeating Big Ten foe Indiana 45-23 on Senior Day at High Point Solutions Stadium. The win for the Scarlet Knights was just their first since knocking of f Michigan at home on Oct. 4, but the victor y over the Hoosiers ensured that for the four th straight season and the ninth time in 10 years, Rutgers would play in a postseason bowl game. When you consider how bleak the outlook was for Rutgers at the outset of the college football season, getting win number six under their belt in their inaugural Big Ten campaign is quite the impressive accomplishment. Players, coaches and fans alike should be proud of how the Knights have fared during the maiden Big Ten voyage. Before the 2014 college football season began, the prevailing feeling regarding Rutgers football — from everyone outside Piscataway — was that the Scarlet Knights were going to struggle mightily making the transition from the American Athletic Conference to the Big Ten, a traditional football powerhouse. To fully appreciate what Rut-
gers has been able to do this year, I think the most effective thing to do is to look back at a few preseason predictions. Brian Hamilton of Sports Illustrated put together his preseason Big Ten prediction in mid-August, and he projected the Scarlet Knights to finish in dead last in the conference. He picked Rutgers to go just 3-9 overall and to finish with a 1-7 record in conference play. Rutgers had this projection beat by the end of September, as they wrapped up their fourth win of the season
modest at best, it does prove Rutgers has done a solid job of being better than expected coming into the year. Even the Big Ten itself was pretty down on one if its brand-new members. Tom Dienhart, senior writer for the Big Ten Network’s official website, projected the Scarlet Knights to finish in the basement of the Big Ten East in 2014, citing “depth issues and an iffy secondary.” Indiana will take the honor of finishing as the last-place team in the division, and it’s possible for Rutgers
“The Scarlet Knights are a flawed team that has shown inconsistency on offense and major holes defensively… [However] they can still lock up bowl eligibility with a few weaknesses on the team.” with a home victory over Tulane on Sept. 27. They’ve already got twice the number of conference wins that Hamilton projected, with an opportunity for two more. It wasn’t just Sports Illustrated that projected the Knights to be in over their heads in the new conference, though. Preseason ESPN Big Ten power rankings had Rutgers in the 13th spot out of 14 teams in the league. Fast-forward to today, and the Scarlet Knights currently sit at 9 in those same power rankings. While a power ranking means very little in the grand scheme of things and a jump from 13th to ninth is
to surpass Penn State, Michigan and even Maryland in the standings depending on how the final weeks of the regular season play out. Of course, there are many out there who feel that even with bowl eligibility, head coach Kyle Flood has the Knights stuck in a rut of mediocrity. Fans have every reason to want more out of seasons than simply looking for the bare minimum to make a bowl game. Some don’t think anyone should be celebrating six wins that have come against opponents with a combined 23-38 record, but with the initial
expectation that Rutgers was going to get completely run off the field in almost every game this year, six wins in 10 games is a pretty solid clip. I’m not saying fans should start planning a parade down Easton Avenue in New Brunswick or they should expect to have one of the four spots in next year’s College Football Playoff locked up because that’s certainly not the case. The Scarlet Knights are a flawed team that has shown inconsistency on offense and major holes defensively. However, even with these issues, it’s a good indication of where a program is when they can still lock up bowl eligibility with a few weaknesses on the team. One thing we’ve learned from Rutgers this season is that it may be a while before they will be able to compete with the Big Ten’s elite teams. Brutal blowout losses Ohio State, Nebraska and Wisconsin provide all the evidence you need on that front. With another major challenge on deck this coming week, a road game against Michigan State, Rutgers has another uphill climb in store. No matter what happens in the next few weeks, though, the Scarlet Knights will be playing in a bowl game — a pretty good start in the Big Ten.

Administration ignoring responsibility to address students COMMENTARY STUDENTS FOR SHARED GOVERNANCE
R
ecently, the Students for Shared Governance coalition began the Where RU Barchi campaign to protest that the administration, and specifically University President Robert L. Barchi, who is denying meetings with student groups. These groups are interested in addressing issues that affect the University across all three of its campuses — such as divestment or apparel sourcing — over which only Barchi can make decisions, as opposed to Chancellor Richard L. Edwards, who only deals with the New Brunswick campus. Both groups and the coalition were denied the ability to schedule meetings in person, by phone or through email, even after meeting with other administrators. So we took to the streets, because although the term “shared governance” is stated as part of Rutgers’ policy, it is not practiced. Students, faculty and staff are deliberately cut out of the changes made at this school. We would like to address some of the concerns prompting such an outspoken response by students. Those protesting are not a minority of students, nor do they represent a special interest. Compared to the entire student body, we are a minority. However, more than 15 student groups of diverse natures already make up the coalition, and more continue to join every week. We also represent ideas, which
“
cannot be counted in bodies. Issues of transparency and shared governance are not special interests, but rather ones that affect the student body as a whole. When a community of students is being marginalized, their size doesn’t matter so much as their commitment to their cause. For example, the new library policy was originally justified because of a petition signed by some 400 students — however, the opposing student petition to revoke the policy collected more than 600 student signatures. There is a clear lack of consistency here. A legitimate dialogue with students is crucial before implementing campus-wide
non-violent action sparked change for the better. Why change our tactics if they emulate those set by the most effective movements in American history? Even if just one person is screaming their head off trying to get everyone else to see the monster creeping up behind, maybe it’s worth hearing them out or checking over your shoulder. The administrative structure, by which students are supposed to adhere to, was created without the consent of the students, thereby preventing them from accessing their president. The manner in which the administration changed the policy regarding
“Although the term ‘shared governance’ is stated as part of Rutgers’ policy, it is not practiced. Students, faculty and staff are deliberately cut out of the changes made at this school.” changes. All we ask is that instead of Barchi outright refusing to meet with any students, that he holds office hours open to all. Direct action is a non-violent method of generating change that has been used in the most effective movements in history. Direct-action tactics (like occupying Old Queens) are taken when the proper channels for reaching administrators are ineffective. It is true that Rutgers has a longstanding history of student activism, including protests against the South African apartheid, the Vietnam War and the Iraq War. We use these as examples of great protests where
access to the president is a perfect example of how our policy of shared governance is consistently violated. Student voices have been shut out of these processes, exemplifying exactly the kind of undemocratic structure we are trying to work against. This structural change was put forward without any input from the 40,000 students that attend this University and has now prevented them from meeting with the person who implemented that change. Meeting with your own president should not be considered a luxury. In fact, in many Universities, some of which are also in the Big 10, presidents
hold office hours to listen to the voices of the students they represent. Meanwhile, at Rutgers, those voices are shut out by extra security guards. Rutgers’ financial issues should not justify ignoring the student body. The financial problems mentioned by President Barchi are a result of administrative decisions, such as the merger with UMDNJ, which has forced Rutgers to absorb the medical school’s debt, or wasteful spending, like coach Flood’s massive pay raise. Meanwhile Rutgers still continues to spend excessively on athletics and construction. Last year, Rutgers had the highest subsidy spending on athletics in its division of the NCAA. Yet our administration goes on raising tuition, slashing library funding and refusing to negotiate fair contracts with faculty and staff who cover their expenses. To manage these costs, the Rutgers University Foundation, a huge operation handling fundraising, has managed to pull in a record amount of endowments for the University in prior years, which should leave the president time to engage with his students. Our intention is to hold the governing bodies at this University accountable to their students. Rutgers University is meant to be a public one, and we’d like to see it start reflecting that by emphasizing the school’s relationship with its community. This commentary was written by the Rutgers Students for Shared Governance coalition.
QUOTE OF THE DAY I think that we need a greater appreciation for the need for more diversity in the electorate and in institutions of government. America has become much more diverse in the last 40 years … politics has not necessarily kept up.
”

Though Etou was much more efficient offensively than his Xavier Harris got in a scuffle, result- 0-for-8 performance on Sunday, his defensive showing was the ing in a technical foul for both. But a Daniels 3-point shot most eye-catching. The 6-foot-7 Etou was a force from the lower baseline settled down the increasingly flustered on the glass and contributed three crowd as Rutgers pulled back to a first-half blocks, two of which came on back-to-back fast breaks for 13-point lead.

tive has moved up in weight since last season, and it has lessened the stress of cutting weight. “It feels good, and I have a lot of energy moving up to the new weight. I feel strong and fast because I have 100 percent of my body in training every day,” Pafumi said. “I’m not going to go in there 50 percent or 75 percent anymore. I can focus on sharpening up my skills and training [since] I don’t have to worry about cutting any weight. It’s definitely a benefit.” With the switch up in weight, Pafumi has found a spot in the regular starting lineup at 184 pounds. The spot became vacant after Dan Seidenberg graduated last season. And Pafumi has created success at his new weight. Through the Knights first three dual-meets, Pafumi is 2-1 with his most recent victor y, coming from a 16-1 tech fall against Hofstra’s Jermaine John. It was a no-brainer for head coach Scott Goodale, who felt that Pafumi got lost in the mix at 174 pounds and was too heavy to tr y to go at 165 pounds. “He’s probably a 174-pounder. He can wrestle, so it’s just a matter of maintaining his strength,” Goodale said. “It was [174-pounder] Phil Bakuckas. They had a rivalr y, they wrestled ever y open tournament together when they were freshmen, and Phil had a really good year for us last year. They are both talented — the more talent you have, you want them all in the lineup … 165 pounds was just too much for him, so it was an easy transition.”
Sophomore Phil Bakuckas beat out Pafumi at 174 pounds, allowing Pafumi to earn a starting spot at 184 pounds in Rutgers’ lineup. EDWIN GANO / STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER
The grappler who beat out Pafumi when they were both incoming freshmen in 2012 was Bakuckas. Bakuckas won the spot in last season’s wrestle-offs and hasn’t lost it, going 20-11 since then with a 15-5 record in dual-competition. While Bakuckas has one extra season in the lineup, he is jealous of Pafumi for a specific reason but supports his teammate regardless. “That’s probably a huge change — he was cutting a lot of weight for 165 and you could tell he didn’t have that much energy or pop,” Bakuckas said. “I think [with his] wrestling up a weight class, he can eat whatever he wants. He has energy all day, ever y day at practice, and he can drill ever y day with purpose, instead of worr ying
about weight because he is already there. For me, food is always nice, but I’m comfortable at 174.” But for Pafumi, it still feels great to break into the lineup for Rutgers. He said he found a spot to stay at 184 pounds. “It feels good to break into the lineup. It definitely was a goal in mind, breaking into the lineup this year and in the previous years,” Pafumi said. “Things happen for a reason, and I think not starting last year happened for a reason. It set me up to go bump up a weight, get stronger and train for the next season.” For updates on the Rutgers wrestling team, follow @TylerKaralewich and @TargumSpor ts on Twitter.

WOMEN’S CROSS COUNTRY
Junior shines in improved season MIKE O’SULLIVAN STAFF WRITER
She entered the season hoping to achieve improved results from last year, while helping to usher the Rutgers women’s cross country team into the Big Ten. Throughout the season, she earned various individual awards in different races, including being named a Mid-Atlantic Regional Honoree for her top-25 finish at the NCAA Regionals. Junior Paige Senatore had an outstanding season for the Scarlet Knights and has even surprised herself with how well she performed. “I’m very astonished,” Senatore said. “I didn’t really expect going in that I would be able to attain All-Region this season. … When I finished the race and Coach James [Robinson] said, ‘Congratulations on All-Region,’ I wasn’t really aware that I was able to attain that.” While receiving the honor may have been a surprise to her, it does not come as a shock to head coach James Robinson, who has seen Senatore improve greatly over her three years at Rutgers. He credits her with working hard in training to get better and being a positive influence on the rest of her teammates. “She’s just been phenomenal this year,” he said. “She’s worked so hard over the summer and during the season, and as the season has progressed, she’s gotten faster and faster, culminating with being named All-Region. It was a fantastic performance for her in this great season.” Entering next season, Senatore is setting her sights on a bigger goal: earning an at-large bid for an invitation to the NCAA Championships. Robinson believes if Senatore stays on the winning path she

is on right now, she has a good chance to achieve this goal. “We look forward to next year where she can hopefully make a run at an at-large bid for an invitation to Nationals,” he said. “Being able to say that at the end of the year, when we weren’t talking about it in the beginning of the year, is a testament to how great of a season she had and how much improvement she made as a runner.” Another accolade she received this season was being named the Big Ten Women’s Cross Country Athlete of the Week on Oct. 14 after helping the Knights in winning the Metropolitan Championships. A key part of her success has been the rigorous practices that have prepared her and the Knights for competitive races. Throughout her three years, she also learned to strike an efficient balance between working hard and knowing when to lighten the intensity of a workout, which has kept her fresh on race day.
“I think what’s helped make me successful is the summer training I had and being able to sustain mileage and effort during the season,” she said. “As the weeks go by, it’s essential to know when to taper off and when it’s not necessary to, and I think that’s really helped me be successful at the end of the season.” Her teammates have been very valuable in helping Senatore improve each week, providing motivation and creating a strong support system. Senior Allison Payenski is one of the veterans who have raced with Senatore for a few seasons and has seen her improve along the way. “We’ve gotten better together,” Payenski said. “We’re around each other a lot and are always helping each other, so that’s important in making us all better.” For updates on the Rutgers cross country teams, follow @TargumSpor ts on Twitter.
Spiniello molds RU in pool as paternal figure RYAN MORAN STAFF WRITER
In the first year of its existence, the American Athletic Conference gave the prestigious Coach of the Year award to Rutgers swimming and diving head coach Phil Spiniello. Spiniello led the Scarlet Knights to a third-place finish last season. “I think that the amount that the program improved over the past couple of years was a big factor,” Spiniello said of being named the AAC Coach of the Year. “Putting swimmers at the NCAA tournament and breaking nine records definitely made a difference.” Spiniello spent four seasons at Princeton as an assistant swimming coach before coming to Rutgers, where he helped the program achieve a 30-meet win streak. He also spent time at Arizona State as an assistant for both the men’s and women’s swimming teams. As a former swimmer, it was easy for him to make the transition to that of a coach. Spiniello said he understood what the swimmers and divers went through and what their day-to-day regiment entailed. Throughout his experience as a swimmer and an assistant coach, Spiniello’s passion for the sport never died — it only grew stronger. “I enjoy coaching because I like setting goals and seeing the athletes achieve those goals, and anything I can do along the way to help them is really rewarding,” Spiniello said. When he decided to make the jump to become the Rutgers head coach, it was a no-brainer. “It’s always been a career goal of mine to be a head coach, so when the opportunity presented itself, I couldn’t say no because Rutgers has great athletics and academics,” Spiniello said. “To say I’m a part of it is very exciting.” One of the challenges that come with being a head coach is recruiting and convincing athletes that Rutgers is the right place for them to flourish. “It’s definitely a big part of the puzzle: recruiting the athletes,” Spiniello said. “It’s a year-round project and it is
never ending, always keeping an eye on the best recruits and making sure you communicate with them and get [them] interested in Rutgers.” For juniors Morgan Pfaff and Joanna Wu, Spiniello’s guidance has molded them into better athletes and people during their time at Rutgers. “Phil is kind of like a second father to me since I don’t have any family here, so I come to him with any issues I have,” Wu said. “He had a huge impact on my decision to come here, especially because his practices are similar to the club team I was from, so it was an easier transition.” Through his enthusiasm for the sport, Spiniello hopes his passion sparks a desire for members of the team to maximize their potential as athletes and, more importantly, as people. “When I first met Phil, he was full of enthusiasm, passion, and love for the sport and the girls that are here,” Pfaff said. “When I saw that he embraced everything about this program and every single person, there was no doubt in my mind. It was exactly where I wanted to be.” Spiniello’s constant communication with his team members is one of the key aspects to his successful coaching style. Through such communication, he has achieved his goal of creating a comfortable and open family environment. “What you give to him is what he will give back to you,” Pfaff said. “If you ever need anything, his office is always wide open.” Despite the shift in conferences, Spiniello’s goals haven’t changed. When considering the all-around development of his team, he hopes to ensure the Knights leave Rutgers after making their mark. “My goals for the program haven’t changed, although we have changed leagues,” Spiniello said. “It’s always been to focus on the conference meet in February and to score as many points as we can at that meet, and send as many woman as we can to the NCAA meet, and breaking school records along the way.” For updates on the Rutgers swimming and diving team, follow @TargumSports on Twitter.

November 20, 2014 KNIGHT NOTEBOOK FLOOD REMAINS UNDECIDED ON STARTER AT RUNNING BACK
Patton slowly regains role carved out before season GREG JOHNSON SPORTS EDITOR
Part of Andre Patton always wonders what might’ve been had he not extended his body for a touchdown in the second scrimmage of preseason camp. An upper body injury on the play kept the sophomore wide receiver out of action for the Rutgers football team’s first four games. “It sucked. Sometimes I thought, ‘What if I didn’t dive for it?’” Patton said. “But I got injured. That’s what happened.” On track to be a co-starter opposite junior Leonte Carroo on the
outside, Patton came into the season with high expectations, but that early setback has made reestablishing himself a gradual process. The nature of his injury prevented Patton from doing any kind of physical rehab work while he was out. Instead, he rested his body and studied film until he was healthy enough to get back on the field. “It was tough. It was a little boring,” Patton said. “I couldn’t do anything, but I got through it.” Patton said it took a few weeks to get his wind back up and run as effectively as he could prior to the injury, and the results showed. After returning to the field

Sept. 27 against Tulane, Patton spent the next two games mostly as a blocker in run-heavy formations. He saw more snaps at receiver against Ohio State and Nebraska, but the 6-foot-4 wideout was statistically invisible with only one total catch. But during the past two games, Patton and senior quarterback Gary Nova clicked more, hooking up six times for 38 yards to relieve some pressure from Carroo. The Scarlet Knights need more of the same going forward, especially if senior wideout Andrew Turzilli, questionable for Saturday against Michigan State, cannot suit up. “I’m very confident in Andre Patton. Andre Patton was a guy that, if he didn’t get hurt, who knows what he would’ve been doing this season?” Carroo said. “He’s a tremendous player, and ... if Turzilli can’t go, this will be Andre’s first full week of practice where he’s getting most of the reps. I’m very excited to go out there, practice with him this week and make sure he’s confident [and] on the same page with me. He’ll be fine.” Patton’s snaps should continue to uptick as he returns to form in the role the Knights expected the sophomore to take on before the season started. After Carroo’s team-leading 46 catches for 933 yards and eight touchdowns, Rutgers has lacked a consistent No. 2 wideout.
No other Knight has 20 catches this year, and only Turzilli has recorded at least 200 total receiving yards. For deeper perspective, Turzilli, Patton and sophomores John Tsimis and Janarion Grant combined have only a little more than two-thirds of Carroo’s yardage (681). The lack of separation in man coverage and limited production across the board has allowed opposing defenses to key in on Rutgers’ run game, which struggled mightily in Big Ten play prior to the Indiana game. Patton hopes to bring some

stability on the outside as a consistent downfield threat. “Now I feel like the season’s going pretty well,” Patton said. “We just got a big win in the last home game. With my injury in the beginning of the year and now with myself and the team having success, it feels pretty good.” *** After announcing Tuesday that either Robert Martin or Josh
Hicks will make their first career start at running back against Michigan State, head coach Kyle Flood said Wednesday that decision is based strictly on production against Indiana. Sophomores Justin Goodwin and Desmon Peoples accumulated just 20 yards on seven carries with two fumbles against the Hoosiers, while the true freshmen exploded for 191 yards on 31 carries with four touchdowns. Who will take the first handoff against the Spartans, though, remains unclear. “Who starts the game? I don’t know,” Flood said of Martin and Hicks. “They’ll both get a lot of touches. We’ll decide that as the week goes on.” *** Flood expressed confidence in Rutgers’ depth at cornerback if sophomore Nadir Barnwell, who is doubtful Saturday with an upper body injury, cannot play. Barnwell has started the last five games opposite senior Gareef Glashen, but the Knights still boast a wealth of experience with sophomores Anthony Cioffi and Delon Stephenson — a versatile defensive back — as well as promising freshman Dre Boggs. “We’re fortunate to have a lot of people there with experience,” Flood said. “That’ll help us on Saturday.” For updates on the Rutgers football team, follow @gregp_j and @TargumSports.

QUOTE OF THE DAY “I knew I didn’t have to force anything. I knew I didn’t have to come in here and try to be a superhero.” — Junior guard Bishop Daniels on his team-high 18 points last night against FDU

RU rebounds behind guard’s dominance SEAN STEWART ASSOCIATE SPORTS EDITOR
During the Rutgers men’s basketball team’s Oct. 21 Media Day, junior guard Bishop Daniels promised fans some SportsCenter highlights. While the junior college transfer guard did produce a nice one-handed slam in the second half, it was Daniels’ role as the main catalyst in the Scarlet Knights’ (1-1) 61-44 victory
over Fairleigh Dickinson on Wednesday night at the Louis Brown Athletic Center that made the difference. It was an impressive showing for Daniels, scoring a team-high 18 points after being one of the many Scarlet Knights to show jitters in Sunday’s season opener against George Washington, where he shot just 1-of-8 from the field. For Daniels, his big night resulted from sticking to the basics.
“I knew what my capabilities are,” Daniels said. “With my teammates helping me out and stuff like that, taking a little bit of the pressure off me, I knew I didn’t have to force anything. I knew I didn’t have to come in here and try to be a super hero, so all it was, was just playing within Eddie Jordan’s system and getting better as a team that just helps out individually.” The highlights were few and far between for Rutgers in the second half, with the Scarlet Knights struggling to assert their domi-
nance like they had in the opening 20 minutes after which they led, 37-16. The struggles began early with a combination of sloppy turnovers, offensive fouls and missed shots leading to 10 unanswered points by Fairleigh Dickinson (2-1). Frustration clearly began to set in during that run, which escalated when junior center Greg Lewis and Fairleigh Dickinson forward SEE DOMINANCE ON PAGE 13
WRESTLING PAFUMI EARNS STARTING SPOT AT 184 POUNDS AFTER GRAPPLING AT 174 LAST SEASON
Sophomore earns larger role in new weight class TYLER KARALEWICH ASSOCIATE SPORTS EDITOR
When an average person thinks about wrestling, thoughts of cutting weight and grapplers starving themselves come to mind. While that stereotype is largely fabricated and exaggerated, it is rare to see a wrestler that has the freedom not to worry about his eating habits. Sophomore 184-pounder Tony Pafumi knew what it was like to worry about cutting weight
his first three seasons with the Rutgers wrestling team and the challenges it presented. Pafumi was one of the Scarlet Knights’ backups last season at 165 pounds and also competed in open tournaments at 174 pounds. Earlier in his Rutgers career, Pafumi was strictly a 165-pounder coming out of high school, where he wrestled at 170 pounds. This season, the Westfield, New Jersey, naSEE CLASS ON PAGE 13
