Rutgers alumna killed during attacks in Mali AVALON ZOPPO ASSOCIATE NEWS EDITOR

Traveling overseas and spreading health care, education and peace were among Anita Ashok Datar’s many passions.

Datar, a Rutgers Class of 1995 alumna, was among the group of at least 22 people killed during an attack in West Africa on Friday, in which gunmen stormed into a Mali hotel shouting “Allahu akbar” as they opened fire on guests gathered for breakfast.

Datar is the only known American killed in Mali on Friday, according to The Washington Post.

The Rutgers alumna was a 41-yearold public health expert who worked toward fighting the spread of HIV and expanding family planning, according to a statement from President Robert L. Barchi. She was in Mali on Friday working on a project funded by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID).

“Our entire community grieves for her, and for her parents, her siblings, and her 7-year-old son. The loss that they have suffered is immeasurable,” Barchi said.

Datar was born in Western Massachusetts and grew up in Northern New Jersey, according to a statement released by Datar’s family. After receiving her Bachelor’s in Psychology from Rutgers, Datar earned an Master’s degree in Public Health and Master’s degree in Public Administration from Columbia University’s Joseph Mailman School of Public Health and School of International and Public Affairs.

Following graduation, her desire to promote education and health care continued with two years in Senegal

working with the Peace Corps from 1997 to 1999, according to the family’s statement. And as a founding member of Tulalens, a non-profit organization, Datar connected low-income women in underserved communities with health services.

Datar’s family said they were “angry and saddened that she has been killed” but also knew that Datar would want to prevent violence and poverty around the world, not promote intolerance.

Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton, who knew Datar, also praised her for her work toward public health in a statement.

“Anita Datar was a bright light who gave help and hope to people in need around the world, especially women and families...” Clinton said. “From her service in the Peace Corps to her career in international health and development to her work with Tulalens, an NGO she helped start to connect poor women with health care, Anita represented the best of America’s generous spirit.”

The two gunmen who stormed the Radisson Blu Hotel on Friday initially took 170 hostages who were visiting Mali from countries across the globe such as France, Belgium, Germany, China and Canada.

An al-Qaeda affiliated group is taking partial responsibility for the attack that killed Datar.

“Her death leaves emptiness in our hearts; her remarkable life is a reminder to us all of the capacity for good and the spirit of helpfulness to which we all can aspire,” Barchi said in a statement. “I hope that the entire Rutgers community will join us and will find Anita’s life to be an inspiration.”

Trends show millennials will not retire until 75 NOA HALFF STAFF WRITER

Students and recent graduates already dreaming of retirement and all the joys that come with it may be in for a surprise.

Millennials may not retire until the age of 75, which is more than a decade older than the current average retirement age of 62, according to Yahoo Finance. Rising rent prices, student loan debt and a fear of investing has increased the retirement age 13 years.

There has been an 11 percent increase in rent nationwide and a $5,500 increase in student debt, while millennial wages remain stagnant.

The article predicts rising expenses could amount to $684,474 in lost retirement savings for 2015 graduates.

Dawn Bennett, founder and CEO of Bennett Group Financial Services, believes the retirement age has risen because millennials are

unable to save much money early on in their career.

Many millennials do not invest due to student loans, high renting rates and fear of investing. Forty percent of millennials would rather put their money in a regular savings account than invest it in the stock market, according to a study

by Bankrate.

Drucilla Cornell, a professor in the Department of Political Science, said gender may affect retirement age. Cornell recently signed a retirement agreement which allowed her to retire at age 67.

“I think there is a discrepancy between men and women. Women tend to retire earlier than men,” she said.

There remains a great deal of sexism at the university level, she said.

“Women get tired of fighting ... women identify with other parts SEE TRENDS ON PAGE 4

Students and alumni get up in costume and pose for a photo on the afternoon of Nov. 22 at Winants Hall on the College Avenue campus to reenact the signing of the charter that named Rutgers as “Queen’s College, of New Jersey” in November 1766. DIMITRI RODRIGUEZ

Alumni, students come together to reenact signing of historical charter NIKITA BIRYUKOV CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Bedecked in powdered wigs and historic garbs clad in Rutgers scarlet, alumni and students alike gathered to celebrate Rutgers’ 250th anniversary.

The event hosted a reenactment of the Rutgers charter signing where participants could don revolutionary-era garb and be photographed signing the charter.

Sponsored by the Rutgers University Alumni Association (RUAA) and the Scarlet Council, the student leadership arm of the RUAA, this event sought to create a space where

Rutgers students and alumni could interact in a social environment.

“I thought (photo reenactment) was a unique opportunity,” said Tara Massey-Kissenberth, assistant director at the Office of Alumni Relations, advisor to the Scarlet Council and an alumna of the Douglass College Class of 2004. “It’s a great way to put students and alumni together in a really social fun way that also celebrates the history of the University.”

In addition to the day’s historic photo-reenactment RUAA and the Scarlet Council also hosted a contemporary version of the charter

signing, said Yvette Martinez, senior director of Alumni Relations at RUAA. “It has become a priority for us to make sure that the student experience is something that’s meaningful,” Martinez said. ”We know that connecting students and alumni is probably the most meaningful part ... (of) staying connected to Rutgers.”

Alumni want to maintain a connection with Rutgers after they graduate, Martinez said. Likewise, students are interested in networking with alumni.

Students learn to think fast, differently in face of sexual harassment, violence NIKITA BIRYUKOV CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Friday night 30 students gathered in Campbell Hall on the College Avenue campus, and over the din of a city in motion, learned how to SCREAM. The Bystander Intervention Training Event, run by the Office for Violence Prevention and Victim Assistance (VPVA) in partnership with Students Challenging Realities and Educating Against Myths (SCREAM) Theater, hoped to transform students into positive active bystanders.

This event was the capstone in the students’ training, upon completion of the day’s activities they would receive a certificate in bystander intervention, marking them as trained active bystanders.

“The purpose of this event is to challenge our campus community to stand up for each other to recognize that ending sexual violence is the community’s issue. This is not something we can do at the individual level,” Brady Root, the prevention education coordinator for VPVA, said. “We need everyone to be involved.”

Many students fail to intervene when they see something they know is wrong, Root said. They think that the only way to intervene is direct confrontation.

“Interventions look different for everyone ... you don’t need to be a person who directly calls someone out,” she said. “(You can) come up with a way to distract them.”

To learn these subtler methods of intervention the students participated

­­VOLUME 147, ISSUE 103 • UNIVERSITY ... 3 • OPINIONS... 6 • CLASSIFIEDS ... 7 • SCIENCE ... 8 • DIVERSIONS ... 9 • SPORTS ... BACK

in role play activities in which they would act out interventions.

The role plays varied in their subject, ranging from cases of attempted rape or domestic abuse to acts of casual racism or sexism.

“A lot of the common ones are more subtle methods that people can feel more comfortable doing,” said Daniel Mesa, an Ernest Mario School of Pharmacy first-year student. “If you notice that someone is uncomfortable with somebody else’s actions ... you could spill your drink on the perpetrator to get them out of that mindset.”

Students are more likely to intervene, if they have practiced it in the past, Root said, citing research performed in 2010 at the Center on SEE VIOLENCE ON PAGE 5

Engineering honors students brainstorm new traditions NIKHILESH DE STAFF WRITER

Theta Tau, a professional engineering fraternity, won the Homecoming Charity Bed Races for two years in a row. The Rutgers Engineering Honors Council (REHC) now wants to create a new tradition to unite School of Engineering students.

REHC held a case competition in the Computing Research and Education Building on Friday night to see if students could establish a potential event or idea to fill this need, said Vineet Shenoy, a School of Engineering sophomore.

“The main topic is about the Rutgers 250 tradition. What should we star t here at the School of Engineering (and) what traditions ... can really unite the community?” he said.

“So we want to look at what distinguishes Rutgers and what’s something we do that makes us unique or defines who we are.”

During case studies, students are given a set amount of time and some information to answer a question provided by the competition hosts, said Shenoy, the event planner. The REHC contest would ask students to create a new tradition that would unite School of Engineering members.

The two-hour long analysis period would let students look up traditions at other schools and relate them to Rutgers, he said. They would also be given packets explaining past traditions at the school, including Cane Rushes, Cremation Exercises, the Homecoming Bed Races and the Rutgers-Princeton cannon war.

“Our main goal is to have them work in a team, analyze a case, think on their feet (and) practice critical thinking skills — basically skills that will translate well into the workplace,” he said. “The other goal is to look at our identity here and see what can foster that.”

Each team could have up to four people, he said.

At the end of the first period teams presented their solutions to judges, all of whom were School of Engineering alumni, he said. The teams were split into three divisions, with the top two from each advancing to the second round of judging.

While the first round had one judge per division, the second round saw all three judges. The winners received Starbucks gift cards.

Students would be judged based both on their ideas and their presentation, Shenoy said. The grading syllabus included a “questions” section, to test how well dif ferent team members could answer queries in the middle of their talk.

They were also required to stay within ten minutes for the presentation, he said. There was no minimum time for each speech.

“We’re mainly looking for people to practice many of the soft skills they need in a work environment,” he said. “So (we’re looking at) their teamwork, how well they’re presenting their material, if their ideas are insightful (and) what they can do given a case and a short amount of time.”

The Rutgers Engineering Honors Council (REHC) hosted a case competition, an event they hope to be the first of many aimed at uniting School of Engineering students.

They proposed creating a booth festival in the spring, where each department would tr y to impress alumni by creating themed stalls relating to their respective departments.

Because this was the REHC’s first attempt at hosting a case competition, only honors students in the School of Engineering were allowed to attend, Shenoy said. Future events may be bigger depending on the success of this one.

“Hopefully we can expand this with more people,” he said.

“We’re tr ying to make meaningful change in our community.”

of their life, while for many men their primary source of self worth is work,” she said. “It is also true that university professors do not make great salaries so there is undoubtedly financial anxiety.”

But millennials can take steps to prevent this.

Millennials should save more and save early, according to the Yahoo Finance article.

Young people can live at home for a period of time in order to avoid the cost of rent, according to Reuters. It is advised to live at home until the age of 25 in order to retire five years earlier.

Millennials also need to be fearless, according to Reuters, which means putting the vast majority of assets into stocks. Investing wisely in the stock market is crucial for their future.

By increasing their savings rate, millennials can also have a longer retirement, according to the article.

A savings rate of 10 percent annually has the potential to bring retirement age down to 70, and 15 percent can bring the retirement age down to 65.

Creating a budget and tracking your spending can also prolong retirement.

Shahar Platt, a School of Arts and Sciences sophomore, said although she is focused on other problems right now, such as the rising cost of tuition and student debt, she still is concerned about retirement.

“On the one hand, this is not a worry because I’m fully invested in my education right now, but on the other hand, I’m always thinking of my future and I know this may cause problems for me one day,” she said.

Ross Baker, a professor in the Department of Political Science, said working past 65 years old is no longer a novelty.

“There is not just the matter of the need for extra retirement income for those who didn’t start saving early enough but the even more important evidence that work prolongs mental fitness,” he said.

Life expectancy is much longer than it was when Social Security was established in 1935, he said.

“Unless a person is in a job that is just drudger y or is dangerous, I think that the option to work into your 70s or even beyond is a great prospect for those in a position to do it,” Baker said.

Millennials may not retire until the age of 75, which is more than a decade older than the current average retirement age of 62, according to Yahoo Finance. Rising rent prices, student loan debt and a fear of investing has increased the retirement age by 13 years. EDWIN GANO / PHOTO EDITOR

Rutgers medical school studies parts of Albert Einstein’s brain NIKHILESH DE STAFF WRITER

After 55 years of wondering what the brain that created E=mc^2 looked like, scientists are finally able to say scientist Alber t Einstein had a unique organ inside his noggin.

Einstein’s brain is actually physically different from a normal human brain, said Frederick Lepore, a professor of neurology and ophthalmology in the Robert Wood Johnson Medical School. Most of its differences can be found in the ridges and the grooves that make up the organ.

“He has ver y dif ferent pre-frontal lobe, a ver y different parietal lobe, a ver y different primar y motor lobe, the list goes on and I can (name) a laundr y list of dif ferent par ts of the brain,” Lepore said.

Some of the most notable differences were seen in the parietal lobe, which processes

a large amount of information, he said in an inter view with The Washington Post. Among other data sets, this lobe handles visual and sensor y information from the temporal and occipital lobes. It is also responsible for

Overall, his brain was about average size and shape, he said in a news release by RWJMS. Besides the parietal lobe, his temporal and occipital lobes were also differently sized compared to normal people.

While the sizes are similar,

After his death in 1955, Lepore said Thomas Har vey of Princeton Hospital autopsied Einstein, taking pictures and then sectioning his brain into 240 dif ferent slides.

Most of these slides disap-

Essentially that lobe brings together all of the information from these different sources, he said.

“I don’t want to shortchange (normal people) but it’s kind of a synthetic area in the brain and he had unusually large parietal lobes,” he said.

peared along with the pictures.

Harvey’s estate donated the pictures and a map containing the locations of the brain parts to researchers in 2010, and they were subsequently studied, according to a paper published by Lepore’s research team.

While the pictures of Einstein’s brain have shown clear differences between his and a normal one, Lepore said it is not possible to say how the differences change a person’s thoughts.

“That’s the striking thing, it’s irrefutable that his brain is different than a normal human brain, but if you say ‘where did the theory of special relativity come from,’ we’re not going to answer those questions,” he said. “That’s a big explanatory gap, the exciting part is this guy has a very different brain.”

If Lepore could have any question answered, it would be about how the dif ferences relate to thought processes.

“What’s the connection between form and function, what’s the connection between that anatomy and this guy who saw the universe in a totally different way,” he said. “We were just glad to reconnoiter and look at the brain to see if there was anything dif ferent.”

VIOLENCE Training puts focus on changing campus culture, challenging various toxic behaviors CONTINUED FROM FRONT

Violence Against Women and Children at Rutgers.

To aid students in enacting these interventions, they are are taught a five-step process.

First, they must notice the event. Second, they must identify the event as intervention appropriate. Then students must choose to take responsibility. Then they decide how to act. After those steps, the students intervene, Root said.

The Bystander Intervention Training is not focused solely on sexual assault.

“When we talk about bystander intervention in this training we talk more broadly than just sexual violence,” Root said. “So we will be talking about racism, sexism, homophobia (and) other types of issues that people can absolutely intervene on and have.”

The training also put focus on changing campus culture and challenging various toxic behaviors that have become norms.

“It’s not just about intervening when something drastic is happening,” said Ellen Miller, a Mason Gross School of the Arts junior and a SCREAM athlete coordinator. “It really is about challenging that culture ... when people degrade women, the whole ratio system and how we’ve turned women into currency to go to parties.”

While not everyone will see a sexual assault occur and be able to act to stop it, we can all challenge these norms in an effort to change the campus climate into one where these things don’t occur, she said.

Both the staff and the students showed a lot of faith in the effectiveness of their program and the worth of their cause.

“I think what we do at SCREAM is to make this very serious topic approachable,” Miller said. “We give you a way in ... you can be part of this without being a diehard feminist or a trained activist or a police officer.”

Root stressed that everyone do what they can to help.

“Whether they think they should be involved or not, we need to have people talking about this, paying attention to it supporting survivors, when they come forward challenging their friends if they think their behavior is inappropriate,” Root said.

If the team can reach all the groups on campus and convince them to help, things could really change, she said.

“These are incredibly important issues,” Mesa said. “It’s very important that you look to educate yourself, we have so many resources here at Rutgers ... you can find incredibly amounts of information on these subjects and really arm yourself with knowledge so that you can be informed and be compassionate in being an active fighter.”

Asking for Obama defies Rice protests NAJUM M. JUNAID

I

t is interesting that the faculty and students are so eager to push for President Obama as the commencement speaker for Rutgers 250th class. Not two years ago, former Secretar y of State Condoleezza Rice was invited to speak at commencement, but after faculty and student protests, she withdrew. Those protesters accused her of war crimes, supporting the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, indefinite detention and former President George W. Bush’s drone program. Instead of addressing the validity of these claims, I will offer a few comparisons.

President Obama launched ten times the number of drone strikes as President Bush. These strikes have killed six times as many people, and twice the civilians of those under President Bush. President Obama more than doubled the number of troops in Afghanistan shortly after taking office, after promising to end both wars. The indefinite detention center at Guantanamo Bay remains open, despite repeated promises to the contrar y.

There is an obvious double standard, on almost ever y issue the protestors had with Dr. Rice, President Obama has continued or expanded those same policies, and yet the President gets a pass where Dr. Rice got none. Furthermore, in contrast to Dr. Rice who ser ved as Secretar y of State at the behest of President Bush, President Obama could have addressed many of the aforementioned issues through Presidential powers.

Sherif Ibrahim and Carmelo Cintron, leaders of the “No Rice” protest claimed that if President Obama attempted to speak on campus, they would protest, with Ibrahim saying, “I don’t care if it’s President Obama drone bombing ... or if it’s Condoleezza Rice ... what is wrong is wrong.” Cintron also stated that he would not be okay with the President speaking on campus. Where were they when the President spoke at Rutgers—Newark, where are they now? Where are those who sat-in at Barchi’s office, or those who claimed to be nonpartisan in their protest?

They are nowhere to be found, now that the speaker’s political affiliation aligns with their own. Identifying as a Liberal is enough to protect from criticism in today’s college environment. They labeled Dr. Rice as a war criminal, killer and lawbreaker, but apparently none of those labels applies to the President, reinforcing the double standard between Liberal and Conser vative. This is the latest example of the targeted silencing of Conser vative viewpoints on college campuses.

The Daily Targum once wrote, “Rice is a former politician, and we can’t really ignore her controversial career. Do the positive aspects of her personal accomplishments really outweigh the destruction of war she contributed to during her political career?”

Can we ignore President Obama’s similarly “controversial career” due to his political party? Given the attitude on campus, apparently so.

Queering faith, understanding spirituality without religion REASON IN REVOLT RACHEL LANDINGIN

A

s part of my journey for spiritual renewal, I searched for answers through various conversations I had with queer people of color who have struggled with their queerness and growing up in Christian households. Despite the pain endured from shame and condemnation coming from oppressive ideologies and hateful communities within major organized religion, like Christianity, many of my friends recognized their personal need for spiritual growth in their lives. And moving beyond religion, it’s part of a framework that contributes to the overall struggle of many non-white, non-christian folks of faith, who are the biggest threat to the white-supremacist and imperialist dominance.

For example, Western Christianity has been used as a tool for colonization. How channeling our indigenous blood points to pre-colonial communities, contrary to the belief that their savagery and lack of morals are what brought them to their destruction or assimilation, were destroyed because of the capitalization of violence. Many of these communities had distinct traditions, ideologies and spiritual practices that held them together, but eventually these indigenous people had to choose

between dying to keep their cultures intact or find ways to survive to either assimilate or to keep their spirituality in disguise. As an Asian queer immigrant who grew up in an Evangelical Christian household, it was difficult to be part of a church that condemns my queerness as immoral and unspiritual. I realized that it was necessary for me to work together with people who struggle to fight for liberating, by using a critical and queer lens to criticize the past, to queer up the present with our actions and activism and to envision a liberated future.

Whenever I hear the argument that “It’s not the religion, it’s the people who use the religion as a tool for good or bad purposes,” I also

we envision a world where spirituality can exist outside of the domination of religion? While many denominations within these major religions are slowly accepting queer folks as part of their institutions, I challenge that that accommodation still upholds the dominant power of the Western Christian Church and is a cop-out from actual spiritual access, which should be a complete dismantling of hierarchies, positions and ideologies.

Many major religions were crafted from certain geographical spaces and needs, and created with distinct traditions and rituals.

In an age where more people are claiming to be spiritual, but not religious and as I explore

“Western Christianity has been used as a tool for colonization. How channeling our indigenous blood points to pre-colonial communities, contrary to the belief that their savagery and lack of morals are what brought them to their destruction or assimilation, were destroyed because of the capitalization of violence.” remind myself of Audre Lorde’s quote, “the master’s tools will not dismantle the master’s house.” I cannot accept the fact that the same words people use to contribute goodness in society can also be co-opted for the hegemony of white patriarchal ideologies.

Another argument people use is that religion facilitates the need for spirituality, but can

on how the queer body leads to a queering of faith, our experiences can be a basis on a possibly dominant spiritual norm that is not based on normative concepts, but is based on interaction between personal lived experiences and concepts.

As I claim my queerness as a personal and political identity, I discovered that my social

justice activism brings a renewed vision of spirituality. My God is not confined in material, sacred texts and buildings. The God of Religion that upholds the status quo with rigid dogmatic institutions becomes this universal and non-gender God of Life that is less of a being and more of an essence of goodness that lives within us and around us. In turn, my faith in God becomes a faith in humanity and a just society, despite the ills of today’s society.

My radicalized view of community is one that is inclusive of diverse backgrounds and spiritual practices. My vision of a spiritual community is composed of people who are woven by struggles and shared goals to end injustices, and ultimately and most importantly, an access to reclaiming spirituality for everyone without shame and judgment. An anti-capitalist spirituality that troubles and critiques binaries and borders. A spirituality that opens people to the unknowns instead of closing their minds and communities based on ignorance.

My argument is not that of the end of religion’s role in people’s lives and communities, as its spiritual essence has been a fuel for survival and resistance for many marginalized folks, but what I’m arguing for is the end for the co-optation and capitalization of spirituality.

Cancer center finds link between kidney tumors, cancer NIKHILESH DE STAFF WRITER

Nearly 62,000 people were diagnosed with some form of kidney cancer so far in 2015, and 14,000 people are expected to die from it this year, according to the National Cancer Institute.

A new research paper by the Cancer Institute of New Jersey and Rutgers found a “mechanism” connecting harmless kidney tumors and cancer which may be used to more accurately detect which tumors lead to the disease.

According to an interview between the research team and news-medical.net, 11 specific benign tumors called “renal oncocytomas” were analyzed to compare with more cancerous tumors. Two different types were discovered.

Type 1 tumors showed no chromosome loss in their genetic makeup, according to the interview. Type 2 tumors had some chromosome loss, and were found more likely to lead to a form of malignant kidney cancer.

Both types of oncocytomas showed mitochondrial mutations, according to the interview. When they deform, they are unable to produce energy like they normally do, which results in the tumor’s cells behaving improperly.

“Identifying mechanisms that restrict some tumors such as

these to benign disease can inform novel approaches to cancer therapy,” according to the paper.

A large number of these malformed cell parts are found in oncocytomas, according to the research paper.

Both Type 1 and Type 2 tumors showed unusual activity with proteins in the cells as well, including adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK) and p53.

AMPK helps regulate the amount of energy being transferred around a cell, according to the National Institutes of Health.

The protein p53 was found to be a mechanism for cancerous cell folding, according to an article by The Daily Targum.

When the protein is mutated, or “activated,” it stops working effectively, according to the article.

The new study found a connection between p53, AMPK and the mutations with mitochondria.

No connection had been previously discovered between oncocytomas and other kidney tumors, according to the paper.

“Thus, we compared the genomic … signature of oncocytomas with (Renal Cell Carcinoma) subtypes,” according to the paper. “The pattern of gene expression in oncocytoma was clearly distinct from clear cell and papillary cell RCC.”

SIMPLE SCIENCE AVOID GETTING A COLD BY ...

GOING OUTSIDE?

The Cancer Institute of New Jersey and Rutgers found a “mechanism” connecting harmless kidney tumors and cancer.

This mechanism may make identifying which tumors lead to the disease more accurately. THE DAILY TARGUM / SEPTEMBER 2014 The differences are mainly related to p53 and the mitochondrial mutations, according to the study. Most importantly, the changes affect whether a tumor stays benign or malignant.

The results of the study suggest new methods for preventing kidney cancer are possible, according to the inter view. If tumors can be kept benign, they

can be more easily removed than malignant tumors.

“Mechanisms that restrict tumors to benign disease can inform approaches to cancer therapy,” according to the inter view. “This also suggests that inhibiting mitochondria with (certain drugs) may have anti-cancer activity in many different cancers.”

It is common knowledge that people get sick more in the winter.

But the cold is not the direct cause.

While it may not seem like it, cold temperatures only correlate with an increase in cold and influenza instances because people stay indoors and spend more time breathing around each other than they normally do.

By spending more time in enclosed spaces, people ensure the air containing a virus circulates without being filtered or otherwise cleaned.

More humid environments prevent viruses from spreading easily.

In drier environments, water droplets containing the virus can hang around for a longer period of time.

While usually people say they have either a cold or the flu, in reality there is an extremely large number of unique cold viruses and another number of flu viruses, each of which need a doctor to accurately diagnose and treat.

By ventilating buildings, washing hands, not breathing on people when they’re sick and otherwise taking care of one’s health, people can stay cold-free this upcoming winter.

Scientists find more geese will stay back in New Jersey during winter ALLISON BAUTISTA CONTRIBUTING WRITER

The annual goose migration to Rutgers is approaching. From loud honking to ruining shoes with their droppings, Canada geese are well-known on campus.

People expect geese to fly south in the winter, but an overpopulation of Canada geese has led to large numbers remaining in the state, said Brooke Maslo, an extension specialist in the Department of Ecology, Evolution and Natural Resources in their fact sheet, “Canada Goose Ecology and Impacts in New Jersey.”

This increasing population stems from the adaptable nature of geese, and they “benefit significantly from human dominated landscapes,” inhabiting “large expanses of mowed lawns … corporate campuses, residential developments and golf courses,” said Maslo and Chloe Lewis, a School of Environmental and Biological Sciences senior.

Canada geese like to build their nests in open areas in order to keep watch for predators.

While the goslings waddling around campus may be amusing to some, the overpopulation of these feathered neighbors comes with a downside, they said.

Damage to agricultural crops and landscaping is one adverse impact, said Joseph B. Paulin, program associate in Wildlife Management, and David Drake, an extension specialist in Wildlife

Management, in their fact sheet “Positive Benefits and Negative Impacts of Canada Geese.”

“Overgrazing and trampling of turf grasses, as well as other grassy areas are common complaints from groundskeepers of golf courses and athletic fields.

Associated labor and re-seeding costs can be very expensive,” Paulin and Drake said.

Overall crop production decreases due to overgrazing, and the increased amount of goose feces raises water quality and health issues. Livestock that drink from these contaminated water sources may also be at risk for disease that can spread to humans, they said.

Not only do goose droppings have bacteria that are harmful to humans, but it also causes other annoyances, they said.

“Parents whose children play on fields littered with goose feces have become concerned about the increased chances of slipping-related injuries. In parks and elsewhere the costs for employees cleaning-up goose droppings have added to the overall expense of managing resident Canada geese,” they said.

Humans are not the only victims of the goose invasion.

Organisms that inhabit ponds and lakes are also affected, according to “Pond and Lake Management Part III: Controlling Geese and Other Pests” by Christopher C. Obropta, extension specialist in Water Resources, and

Eileen Althouse, a graduate assistant in Bioresource Engineering.

Chemical compounds in feces increase the growth of algae and plants that thrive in ponds or lakes. These compounds are why manure is often used for plant fertilizer, according to Obropta and Althouse’s other fact sheet, “Pond and Lake Management Part I: Dealing with Aquatic Plants & Algal Blooms.”

The thriving population of algae and other plants may sound beneficial, but increased growth means increased demand for oxygen, which means other aquatic wildlife, such as fish, do not get the amount of oxygen they need for survival, they said.

Scarecrows can be effective in deterring geese, but after some time the animals are used to the deterrents. A ban on feeding geese in public parks also limits their food supply and discourages them from returning to the area, according to “Pond and Lake Management Part III: Controlling Geese and Other Pests.”

“It is permissible to harass Canada geese without a Federal or State permit, as long as these geese are not touched or handled by a person or the agent of a person (e.g., a trained dog),” according to the article.

People could prevent the spread of harmful bacteria from geese feces through methods such as avoiding droppings and washing hands after coming into contact, said Paulin and Drake.

WIN Rutgers snaps 4-game losing streak with first victory since Oct. 17 at Indiana CONTINUED FROM BACK to end a scoring threat from Army midway through the fourth quarter.

The four th-year head coach said after the game that he and Hicks had discussed the position change early in the week.

Ultimately it paid of f.

“It’s something Josh (Hicks) and I spoke about earlier in the year, but I didn’t think the timing was right,” Flood said. “I approached the thought again

with him as we were getting ready for this game and looking at who would be available.”

Hicks’s per formance wowed sophomore quar terback Chris Laviano,who himself had a bounce back game.

Laviano’s stat line was far from impressive — 13-of-21 for 105 yards — but he was able to protect the football and make throws when the of fense needed it, helping the rushing attack by forcing the Army defense to defend the pass.

Senior running back Paul James rushed for 116 yards and three touchdowns to lead Rutgers past Army in its rushing attack.

QUARTERFINALS No. 9 Knights defeat No. 18 Huskies for second time, advance to Elite Eight CONTINUED FROM BACK This game played out in similar fashion, with a feeling out process early on from both sides before Rutgers took control.

Connecticut forward Rachel Hill had the first close chance of the match in the eighth minute as she got past the Rutgers defense and fired a shot at sophomore goalkeeper Casey Murphy, who deflected the shot away.

Murphy, the Big Ten Goalkeeper of the Year, finished with seven saves on the day.

Rutgers then responded with a rush of its own in the 10th minute when sophomore forward Colby Ciarrocca unleashed a shot in the box, but Connecticut defenders converged to kick the ball away.

Both teams then engaged in back-and-forth play for most of the first half, with each side trading shots and forcing turnovers.

But in the 29th minute, freshman midfielder Kenie Wright had a corner kick for the Knights and found junior forward Madison Tiernan in the box, who headed the ball off a Connecticut defender and into the net for a 1-0 Rutgers lead.

It was the second goal of the season for Tiernan, who played one of her most efficient games of the season by giving the Knights a force on both sides of the ball.

“Everyone underestimates us on corners and considers it our weakness,” she said. “In tournament time, it’s a battle of ‘who wants it more,’ so it’s a battle to win the game and I saw the ball and put it in the net.”

The Knights were not done with scoring there.

In the 32nd minute, senior defender Brianne Reed utilized a flip throw from the far side that found junior midfielder Jennifer Andresen in front of the net.

Andresen then gave a quick pass to freshman midfielder Katelyn Walters on the near side, who headed the ball into the goal to give Rutgers a 2-0 lead.

The three-minute offensive spurt gave the Knights the scoring spark needed to blow the Huskies away on top of the sound defense that they usually supply.

“To get the victory and have the week of training we did, then taking the game plan and executing it, was impressive to watch,” O’Neill said. “They were really good today.”

Rutgers continued to control the possession of the ball in the second half.

A Ciarrocca shot in the 50th minute bounced off Connecticut goalkeeper Emily Armstrong right back to Ciarrocca, who then found senior forward Cassie Inacio on the far side.

“It was a real good day for the But on Saturday, was all team,” he said. “We got the win about Hicks. “(Hicks is) a real team player,” and that’s the only thing that’s Laviano said. “Our relationship is important right now.”

Inacio blasted the ball past Armstrong to increase her team’s lead to 3-0.

Making it this far in the tournament has been of the goals the Knights have aiming for all season.

For a senior captain like Inacio, a Sweet 16 win is one of the ultimate team accomplishments she could have hoped for.

“In the beginning of the season, we set goals for ourselves and have done our best to accomplish them,” she said. “I don’t want this season to ever end. I wish it would last until December. I love my teammates, this program and this school.”

In the final minute of play, Ciarrocca found her herself on a

breakaway and only had to beat Armstrong to score.

She sent a looping shot past the keeper to give Rutgers a 4-0 lead, which stood as the final score.

It culminated a day in which everything seemed to be clicking for the Knights, leaving their head coach smiling and uttering a succinct description of his team’s play.

“We’ve challenged this team to get better ever y day,” O’Neill said. “And man, were they good today.”

OFFENSE Rutgers allows 5 goals in first 20 minutes en route to worst loss of season CONTINUED FROM BACK the Knights’ backline with clever runs and incisive passing.

Forward Brian Hawkins had a chance to equalize shortly after the goal. The freshman did well to control the ball in the Zips penalty area, choosing to cut inside and shoot, but his shot was deflected out for a corner.

Any hopes Rutgers had of recovering from the early deficit were killed between the 12th and 13th minute as Akron scored twice in 27 seconds through Stuart Holthusen and Richie Laryea to build its lead to 3-0.

Two more goals from Holthusen and Laryea in the 16th and 17th minute completed the most dominant period any team has had against the Knights all season. Rutgers allowed more goals in first 20 minutes than it has in any other game this season.

“It’s really hard as a coach,” Donigan said of the 20 minute stretch.

“You just accept it for what it is and you play with pride and play with passion and some heart. But tonight, it was Akron’s game. They were exceptional in every facet of the game.”

The offensive pressure from the Zips did not stop despite the large lead. Akron continued to dictate the game, leading to frustration for the Knights.

Rutgers was aggressive on defense, making a number of harsh tackles in trying to recover the ball, but Akron was not affected.

The second half was played more out of obligation than necessity as the game was already resolved after the first 45 minutes.

Sean Sepe put the exclamation mark on the most emphatic win his team has had all season — the Zips scored four goals four times during the year but never surpassed it until Sunday — in the 60th minute.

Freshman forward Sugor Al Awwad scored the Knights’ only goal in the 80th minute, but it was nothing more than a consolation point as the final minutes of Rutgers’ season ticked away.

The loss ends one of the best seasons on the Banks in recent memory.

After finishing second-to-last in the Big Ten in their first season in the conference, the Knights fought until the last game day for a regular season title, ending up in fourth place when all was said and done.

Rutgers advanced to the Big Ten Tournament semifinals for the first time in program history as well.

The Knights’ seven-game winning streak earlier in the season was the longest such streak since 1997. They held eight clean sheets throughout the season, the most for Rutgers since 1998.

While he wishes the season would’ve ended differently, Donigan is still filled with pride because of what his team produced over the course of 2015.

“I’m still very proud of my team.

I thought, overall we had a great season. There was only 32 teams playing in the tournament today and we were one of them. Unfortunately, to go out like this isn’t your ideal scenario, but I still hold my head up and my chest out and I’m very, very proud of my guys and what they’ve done for Rutgers University.”

November 23, 2015 WOMEN’S BASKETBALL RUTGERS 61, TEMPLE 51

Rutgers holds off Temple late for win ERIC MULLIN STAFF WRITER

In what seems to have become a common trend for the Rutgers women’s basketball team, the offense appeared as if it was stuck in the mud to open Sunday’s game against Temple.

The Scarlet Knights made just one of their first 10 shots as a slow-starting offense seemed like it was going to put them in a deep, early hole for the third consecutive game.

But a swarming Knights’ defense allowed its offense to work through its struggles by completely shutting down a high-powered Temple offense and ultimately pushing Rutgers (2-2) to a 61-51 victory over Temple (2-1) at the Louis Brown Athletic Center.

“In looking at Temple, they scored close to 90 points in their game against Florida and so I anticipated that as much,” said head coach C. Vivian Stringer. “I thought our team did a good job of trying to track their players, we knew who the main players were. So we kind of played a half man, half zone which allowed us to get out there a little bit faster, or at least fast enough.”

After surrendering 77 and 69 points, respectively, in their two prior games, the Knights came out with a bundle of energy on the defensive end. Strong help

defense and quick rotations stifled the Owls’ half-court offense, limiting them to just 15 points on 6-of-40 shooting in the first half.

Although the offense had yet another slow start, the bench provided a much needed spark by pouring in 14 of the Knights’ 26 first-half points. Sophomore guard Sharita Parker chipped in 9 points and senior guard Cynthia Hernandez added seven more off the bench.

Rutgers’ defensive intensity continued into the second half as the offense started to gain some momentum, allowing the Knights to push their lead to as many as 16 midway through the third quarter.

Rutgers rebounded from a 31 percent first-half shooting performance by scoring 35 points in the second half on 59 percent shooting. Although Temple came back with 36 points in the second half, the Knights still held the Owls to just 38.7 percent shooting.

The Knights led for more than 33 minutes of the game and their defense kept the Owls at arms length for most of the second half. Temple made a late push in the waning stages of the game to cut the lead to four points with 1:50 remaining.

But a Tyler Scaife 3-pointer as the shot clock expired on the following possession pushed

the lead back to seven and put the game on ice with a minute remaining.

A balanced Rutgers offense was led by senior wing Kahleah Copper, who chipped in a teamhigh 13 points on 5-of-15 shooting. Copper also helped out in the rebounding department — a weak point for the Scarlet Knights in the beginning stages of the season — by pulling down a game-high 11 rebounds.

“The other day, Coach (Stringer) made a point that I was going back as the ball was going through the rim,” Copper said. “So I just tried to commit myself to the rebounding side of it and the of fense will come.

So I just tried to rebound ever ything today.”

Through its first two games, Temple was averaging 87 points propelled by their two lead guards Feyonda Fitzgerald and Alliya Butts. Both Fitzgerald and Butts entered the game averaging more than 20 points on better than 50 percent shooting.

But Scaife and Briyona Canty guarded the Owls’ high-scoring backcourt tandem and kept them bottled up for most of the game.

Fitzgerald scored a game-high 27 points, but it took her 26 field goal attempts to do so. Butts finished right behind her with 21 points but shot just 38 percent from the field.

When Temple’s guards were able to break down the defense, senior center Rachel Hollivay was at the rim waiting for them.

Hollivay swatted away five shots, with most of them coming after she rotated to help from the weak side. She also finished as the team’s second-leading scorer with 10 points on an efficient 5-for-7 shooting.

“We’ve been working on help defense for like the past few days and so I just made it a point to get over there,” Hollivay said. “I was really hyped for

this game for some odd reason, so I was ready.”

Although it wasn’t a perfectly played game all around for the Knights, it’s a win that they will take following two disappointing performances.

“We’re happy to get the win, just happy to get the win.” Stringer said. “We needed it and we’re going to have to do far better if we intend to be there when it counts.”

MEN’S BASKETBALL RUTGERS 87, CENTRAL ARKANSAS 84

Knights escape tight contest with win BRIAN FONSECA ASSOCIATE SPORTS EDITOR

It appeared the Rutgers men’s basketball team was headed for another heartbreaking defeat for the second time in three days.

After giving up a 16 point lead in a 61-59 loss to St. John’s Thursday, the Scarlet Knights were in another tight contest down the stretch against the Bears.

A Mike Martin three-pointer reduced the Knights lead to 85-84 with six seconds remaining in the contest. On the ensuing in-bound, freshman guard Corey Sanders was intentionally fouled and put on the line with a chance to ice the game for Rutgers.

Sanders hit both free throws and Central Arkansas couldn’t respond on the other end, driving into the lane despite trailing by three, and the Knights defeated

the Bears (0-3), 87-84 to improve to 3-1 on the season.

“It was a grind. We escaped a good team in Central Arkansas,” said head coach Eddie Jordan.

“Our guys grinded it out. Our guys made free throws down the stretch.”

Sanders was perfect from the free-throw line, making all six of his shots from the charity strip after going a woeful 1-6 against St. John’s. But none were more crucial than the final two.

Knowing the significance of his last two shots, the Lakeland, Florida, native did his best to block out his past performance.

“It was real important for us just to ice the game … and close it out,” he said. “So I just went to the line, focused on making the shots and they went down.”

gave the Knights an 83-81 lead with 38 seconds remaining. Coming out of a Central Arkansas timeout, sophomore forward D.J. Foreman went up and got just enough of a Jordan Howard layup to prevent it from tying the game up at 83.

Foreman anticipated a drive to the basket from Howard, so he made sure to be in the lane and get a touch on the ball.

“I got a little bit of a fingertip on it. I knew he was going to drive to the basket,” Foreman said. “I made sure I got a safe enough block where I could keep in play and get the rebound.”

The turning point in a back and forth game with nine lead changes was a sequence for Rutgers coming out of the final media timeout.

Trailing 75-71 with 3:30 remaining, the Knights scored seven straight points in 59 seconds to take the lead for good.

After Foreman went one for two from the line out of the stoppage, Freeman stole the ball at the other end and scored two of Rutgers’ 16 points off of turnovers.

The Rocky Mount, North Carolina, native then blocked a shot on the defensive end and sent an outlet pass to Sanders, who scored an open layup on a fast break. Sanders then stole the ball and scored again to give the Knights a 78-71 lead, prompting the Bears to call a timeout.

Jordan took no credit for the team’s turnaround, giving it all to the two players who brought the 4113 fans in attendance to their feet during the crucial one minute stretch.

“It wasn’t coaching. It was just good players doing what good players do,” he said. “Good players make plays on both ends of the floor and they’re arguably our two best players.”

Freeman did it at both ends for Rutgers. Along with scoring a career-high 23 points, he got a gamehigh four blocks and grabbed eight boards, five of which were on the offensive end leading to second-chance points.

Freeman is happy his solid shift could lift his team to its third win in four games.

“It feels good, man,” Freeman said. “Like I said, I’m just here to help my team. I put the team before me. I don’t think about this stuff, I just try to help my team as much as I could.”

A closely contested game throughout, the teams entered the locker room at halftime deadlocked at 38 points a piece.

Mike Williams quickly changed that to start the second period.

The sophomore guard scored eight of his game-high 25 points in the first three minutes of the half, hitting a three in the Knights first possession.

Williams lived up to his reputation as a sharpshooter, going 5-8 from beyond the arc.

Looking to prove himself after a lackluster freshman year in terms of three-point shooting, the Brooklyn, New York, native is seeing effort come to life as the season progresses.

“All my late nights in the gym and work over the summer paid

off. It’s starting to pay off,” he said. “(My confidence from three is) very high, especially now since I have a great point guard in Corey (Sanders) being able to give me the ball.”

Going from not being able to close out its last game in Jamaica, Queens, to clinching a win in a tight game was a quick turnaround for Rutgers.

The Knights believe the win will show that one bump in the road will not derail their season.

“It’s a big confidence builder and it’s a big relief,” Williams said. “(This win was) very important because it shows we’re not going to roll over and die.

We’re not going to sulk over one game. If we lose one game, we move on to the next one. (St. John’s) is a memory.”

With a trip to Vegas to participate in the Men Who Speak Up championship round next on the agenda, Rutgers looks to bring the momentum of this win onto the court against Creighton Monday night.

“We gotta be looking forward to that now, focusing now because those two (games) are going to be big for us,” Sanders said. “Everything from here on out is going to be a statement game for us so we gotta go out to Vegas with the mentality that it’s a dog-eat-dog world and we need to eat.”

Zips explode on offense to end Knights’ run

RU advances to quarterfinals of NCAA tourney

The No. 23 Rutgers men’s soccer team felt as if it was reliving 2011 when the NCAA Tournament bracket was released last week.

Just like the last time they participated in the competition, the Scarlet Knights hosted — and won — the first round match against an opponent they were expected to defeat before traveling to a fourth-seed hoping to turn some heads with an upset.

But instead of repeating the success of the past when they defeated fourth-seeded Boston College in a penalty shootout, the Knights (13-7-2, 4-4-0) returned home for the final time in 2015.

Rutgers was eliminated from the NCAA Tournament after suffering a 6-1 pummeling at the hands of fourth-seeded Akron on Sunday afternoon in its second trip to Ohio of the season. It suffered a 4-0 loss to Ohio State in Columbus in the semifinal of the Big Ten Tournament last weekend.

The Knights got off to a slow start and weren’t able to dig themselves out of the hole. By the 18th minute, they were down by a deficit of 5-0.

Not wanting to make excuses, head coach Dan Donigan acknowledged that the 110 minutes of action in the mud from his team’s 3-2 penalty shootout win over LIU Brooklyn Thursday night took its toll.

“I’m not making excuses by any means because my hats off to Akron, they are an exceptional soccer team and they play great football ... (but) I wish maybe we had a little more opportunity coming into this game but our match on Thursday night took a little out of our guys and I think it certainly showed.

The Zips (15-3-2, 4-0-1) opened the scoring in the fifth minute from the penalty spot. Victor Soupo made no mistake from 11 meters, slotting the ball into the upper left corner of David Greczek’s goal as he dove to the right.

The junior goalkeeper finished the contest with six saves, but there was nothing he could do in the opening 20 minutes as Akron rolled over

The No. 9 Rutgers women’s soccer team isn’t quite ready for its historic season to end just yet.

After beating Hofstra, 2-0, in the second round of the NCAA Tournament on Friday night, the Scarlet Knights returned to Yurcak Field on Sunday to face No. 18 Connecticut in the Sweet 16.

It didn’t take long for them to carr y over their momentum from Friday into Sunday’s match.

The No. 2-seeded Knights (19-3-2, 7-22) came out with the of fensive firepower they felt was missing from their first round victor y over Fairleigh Dickinson and scored two first half goals in a 4-0 win over the Huskies.

Both of their wins over Hofstra and Connecticut marked the second time they have beaten each team this season.

After a rainy Thursday soaked the pitch at Yurcak Field for the weekend, the Knights were still able to gain traction and push the tempo on offense in both games.

In a record-breaking season for the Knights, they added another one to the list by becoming the first team in program history to advance to the NCAA Tournament quarterfinals with the win.

It is a major accomplishment for Rutgers, which is the first team in program history to get this far.

“I feel blessed,” said head coach Mike O’Neill. “What they’ve built here is a standard of honesty. Every day, they come out and keep each other in check and work to get better…There’s a lot of sacrifice that goes away from family time, and if I’m going to be away from my family, I want to be around people I adore.”

The Knights and Huskies (19-4, 8-1) last squared off Sept. 13 at Yurcak Field, with the Knights prevailing in a 2-0 victory.

WEST POINT, N.Y. — Demonstrating the ability to overcome injuries to key players and the suspension of a defensive leader, the Rutgers football team snapped its four-game losing streak on Saturday at West Point with a 31-21 win over Army.

Leading tackler, junior weakside linebacker, Steve Longa was held out due to a lower body injury and the Scarlet Knights (4-7, 1-6) best offensive weapon, senior wide receiver Leonte Carroo, didn’t play a single snap in the second half due to his own lower body injury.

But none of that mattered to running back Paul James.

The senior captain carried Rutgers’ offense, rushing for 116 yards on 18 carries and tied a career-high with three touchdowns to pace a rushing attack that

picked up 258 yards on the ground at Michie Stadium.

After the win, James was just happy to put the brakes on the losing skid.

“It’s a relief,” James said. “It brings that happiness and that excitement that we really haven’t had in awhile. That’s what really drives you.”

Rutgers second-leading rusher coming into the contest, sophomore Josh Hicks, started at free safety in place of junior Anthony Cioffi, who was suspended for the game due to a violation of team rules.

Flood made a bold move by flipping Hicks to the defensive side of the ball. But after the sophomore’s performance, it’s clear Flood pushed just the right button.

Hicks was all over the field on defense, collecting six tackles, recovering a fumble and making a pivotal interception SEE WIN ON PAGE 10
