‘Project Blue’ gets funds for victim housing By Sage Lazzaro Contributing Writer

When a young Egyptian woman protested in Cairo’s Tahrir Square in 2011, soldiers dragged her through the streets, beat her and ripped her abaya off to expose the blue bra she was wearing underneath. Her blue bra has become an international symbol of resistance for the women’s movement ever since, said Sarah Beth Kaye, president of Women Organizing Against Harassment. WOAH partnered with The First Reform Church of New Brunswick to host “Project Blue” to raise awareness and money for the church’s permanent affordable housing project for domestic violence survivors. Students and community members decorated blue bras Saturday at this event, which aimed to combat gender violence and domestic abuse. The idea for “Project Blue” stemmed from a global initiative to spread awareness for women’s rights after the 2011 incident, said Kaye, a School of Arts and Sciences junior. The creativity of the project and the use of the blue bra as a symbol is a successful way to bring people to the event and raise awareness, said Kevin Gallagher, a School of Arts and Sciences junior. “It is a problem, but I think our society is more progressive with confronting these issues,” Gallagher said. “It wouldn’t be without events like these.” The First Reformed Church is undergoing renovation to build 10 apartments to serve as permanent housing for victims, said Susan Kramer-Mills, executive director of Town Clock Community Development Corporation. This will be the second location in New Jersey to provide permanent housing for victims of domestic abuse, she said. “Permanent housing is important because it is long term, and they get wrap around services,” she said. “They get a counselor to go to, financial advice and the chance to develop job security with permanent housing.” Last year, 70,000 victims reported domestic violence in New Jersey, Kramer-Mills said. Women Aware, a non-profit domestic violence agency in New Brunswick, served 240 of those victims, she said. Of those served, 203 did not have anywhere to go after their time at the shelter was up. “They either go to a friend or relative’s house, go to another shelter or return to their abuser,” she said. “That’s the biggest problem with domestic violence — if they don’t have a place to go and estabSee HOUSING on Page 4

Students show appreciation for Rutgers workers By Shawn Smith Correspondent

Students are usually polite when boarding or exiting a bus, swiping into a dining hall or getting an event prepared at the local student center. Rutgers United Students Against Sweatshops is hoping to extend and emphasize this courtesy during the week of Nov. 25 for “Worker Appreciation Week.”

The event runs from today until Wednesday, said Jose Sanchez, a member of RUSAS. “It’s going to be an event to honor the campus employees: janitorial workers, clerical workers, sanitation workers, bus drivers and transportation workers,” said Sanchez, a School of Arts and Sciences sophomore. This week is scheduled to include tabling events on most campuses in

New Brunswick, where students can participate in crafts and express their gratitude for the University workers, he said. “We’ll be giving [the workers] coffee and talking to them as well,” he said. “We want to make them feel good before Thanksgiving, which is a holiday all about gratitude, so it’s fitting.” RUSAS has celebrated this event since the organization was estab-

lished 17 years ago. The tabling events next week are not a part of a campaign, but are a part of a community building effort, said Anna Barcy, northeast regional organizer for RUSAS. “It always helps to have a strong community of people sharing ideas,” said Barcy, a School of Arts and Sciences junior. “The point is to See appreciation on Page 4

Marching band defeats Glee Club in ‘Soup Bowl’ By Erin Petenko Associate News Editor

Snow sprinkled down during the second quarter of the 43rd Glee Club-Marching Band “Soup Bowl” football game Saturday night at University Park on Busch campus. But the teams continued the fight until the Marching Band won. Scott Sincoff, inter-disciplinary men’s choruses coordinator for the Glee Club, said the annual game began when F. Austin “Soup” Walter, director of both ensembles for 30 years, challenged the groups to see who would get the most performance time during halftime during football games. The Glee Club began in 1872 and the Marching Band in 1915, according to their respective websites. Although the initial controversy has long since passed, the two teams still hold their competition for the Soup Walter Memorial Cup and the year’s bragging rights, said Sincoff, a School of Environmental and Biological Sciences senior. Michael Verra, a coach for the Rutgers Marching Band team, said when the games began, the two groups shared practice space at McKinney Hall on the College Avenue campus and the setup was less elaborate.

The teams now practice twice a week for months and have their own jerseys created for the game, said Verra, a staff member. They also began to have the game at night, despite the cold weather. “The whole game just gives you pride and a sense of accomplishment,” he said. About 30 players signed up to participate on both teams this year, he said. Neither ensemble uses any selection method to choose players. He said the biggest benefit to the players was the team-building aspect. “I would do anything for those guys,” Verra said. The game resembles a NCAA football game, Sincoff said, except tackling is not allowed and the teams must make five downs in 20 yards rather than 10. The teams also play on a running clock, Verra said. Despite the tackling rule, several players were injured, including one Glee Club member, whose teammates had to carry him off the field. Both sidelines cheered on the players, and the Marching Band played familiar football game songs after every touchdown. After the game, the competitors came to the middle of the field to perform the alma mater, he said. See BOWL on Page 4

“Targum” is an Aramaic term for “interpretation.” The name for the University’s daily paper came to be after one of its founding members heard the term during a lecture by then-Rutgers President William H. Campbell. On Jan. 29, 1869, more than 140 years ago, the Targum — then a monthly publication, began to chronicle Rutgers history and has become a fixture in University tradition. The Targum began publishing daily in 1956 and gained independence from the University in 1980. RECOGNITION For years, the Targum has been among the most prestigious newspapers in the country. Last year, these awards included placing first in the Associated Collegiate Press National College Newspaper Convention Best of Show award category for four-year daily newspapers.

BOWL Some Glee Club members shave their heads to show solidarity continued from front

“It’s turned into a great rivalry between the groups. It’s turned into friendships. It’s turned into camaraderie,” he said. Both teams celebrate the game with a dinner the night before. Stephen Saharic, the head coach of the Glee Club team, said several members cooked pasta for three hours for their friends. At the pasta dinner, some Glee Club members shaved their heads to show solidarity, Sincoff said. Saharic, a Mason Gross School of Arts sophomore, said he be-

came a coach after last year’s quarterback recognized his dedication to the team. He experienced many changes this year as he learned to lead a team. “Last year, I had a more in-yourface style of leading,” he said. “This year, I’ve taken on more of a teaching role which has been great for me and the guys.” Both teams had physical and logistical challenges during training. “We’ve had bad luck trying to get lights,” he said. “For the last few practices … we would show up [at 9 p.m.] and we wouldn’t have a field.”

Nevertheless, the event draws attention from alumni, who have tailgates before the game, members and prospective members alike. Verra said the Marching Band uses the game as a major recruiting tool. If high school students are curious about the Marching Band during orientation, he said, the group can brag they have a flag football team. Thomas Canty, a Glee Club football team player, said the bowl led him to sign up to sing. “It actually convinced me to join because I played football in high school,” said Canty, a School of Arts and Sciences junior. Saharic thanked the coaches and players from the Marching Band for the competition. “There’s a lot of animosity, but it’s a really nice tradition that’s gone back for 40 years,” he said.

build up unity between students and staff.” This week also allows students to get to know the workers and form bonds with them. This helps get students to stand in solidarity with workers when it comes to issues like working out contracts, she said. RUSAS also takes this week to get to know the student body and tries to raise awareness about the organization by integrating it into the week. “This is a great opportunity to reach out to other students to talk about RUSAS. This event recognizes what the workers do,” she said. “We also want to know what it is like [for some] to be a student and a worker on campus.” Barcy said the organization is looking for ward to making new connections throughout the week with students and inviting them to become a par t of the organization. The week is a nice way of being thanked for doing her job, said Ebru Kilic, an information desk worker at the Rutgers Student Center. “It feels good to be appreciated,” said Kilic, a School of Arts and Sciences junior. “It is great to get something more than just a paycheck.” Kilic said receiving thanks from the University staff and students makes the job more meaningful. The week is a nice way of being appreciated, said Ruby Dubose, who works at the welcome desk in Brower Commons and

has worked for the University for more than 20 years. Dubose, a courtesy worker for Brower, said students always come in and say “thank you, have a nice day.” “I enjoy meeting the kids and seeing them come in everyday,” she said. While she may not take a part in the events throughout the week, Dubose said the idea is still great, and she is happy that students are thinking of the workers. Sanchez said he is really looking forward to thanking the University workers and feels the student body should come out and show the workers are appreciated, especially with the holiday weekend fast approaching. “We want people to come out and be gracious toward the people who keep this university functioning on a daily basis,” he said. “They are really not thanked enough.” While this week is meant to inspire students to take time out to say “thank you” to the University workers, RUSAS hopes that students will think of this in the long term. They hope students will use this week as a way of continuing this gratitude. “Just be more cognizant of the rights and conditions of workers, not only at the University, but at universities and real places across the countr y and around the world,” Sanchez said. “We want more people to be gracious of people on the lower rungs of the ladder. They hold the system intact from the bottom up.”

lish themselves, they go back to their abusers, and the whole cycle starts over again.” These issues are also prevalent on the Rutgers campus as well as campuses across the country, Kaye said. One in four women will be sexually assaulted before graduating college, and WOAH is taking many initiatives to bring this problem to light as well as issues surrounding gender violence and discrimination, Kaye said. “WOAH has a two prong approach: cultural shift and direct action,” she said. “The cultural shift is tr ying to educate people and talk about these issues. The other prong is pushing toward policy change at the University.” WOAH has been working with Rutgers’ Division of Administration and Public Safety to update the blue light system, a series of emergency alarm stations that provide assistance to anyone in distress. They are pushing to make sure that all blue lights are easy to use and work properly, Kaye said. The organization holds self-defense classes as well as discussion nights and workshops where they talk about respect, gender norms, violence and more, she said.

She said the University has a number of hotlines and on-campus resources, such as Counseling, ADAP & Psychiatric Services and the Rutgers Office for Violence Prevention and Victim Assistance, for anyone facing any of these issues. WOAH compiled a resource sheet with the contact information for these campus resources as well as other local resources like the Office of Victim Witness Advocacy for Middlesex County and the Rape Crisis Intervention Center in Edison, Kaye said. The organization’s goal for next semester is to put a resource sheet in the hands of every student on campus, she said. Resources and awareness are important, but Kaye said a solution to the problem would only come with respect and a cultural shift. “It will take a lot of time and a lot of work, and that’s what we’re working towards,” Kaye said. Sarah Stern, WOAH member and “Project Blue” organizer, said the change has to come from the way parents teach their children. “We need to teach boys to respect women, and we need to teach girls to be empowered,” said Stern, a School of Arts and Sciences junior.

Former leper colony now ex-patient home SOROK ISLAND, South Korea — Kang Sun Bong once considered this tiny island a “hell on earth,” a place where hospital workers beat the leprosy patients exiled here and forced them into harsh labor, sterilizations and abortions. But three years ago, old, sick and broke, Kang returned to the place he’d been banished with his mother decades ago. His savings wiped out by cancer treatment, the 74-year-old now hopes to live the rest of his life with hundreds of other former patients on Sorok Island, which sits off South Korea’s southwestern tip and has become a mini-welfare state. Despite the misery many say they endured here, dozens are returning each year, partly for the free medical care, food and housing offered to former sufferers of the disease. But the onetime place of exile has also become a peaceful refuge for many after years of discrimination and hardship, the only place they feel at home. “I came here because I thought I should die while being nursed,” said Kang, who had a bitter, lonely childhood here, but came back to find the island had utterly changed. Most returnees are cured of the disease and are free to live wherever they choose. But many say life is better here than outside the island, where prejudice against leprosy still runs deep. Yu Myung-sun, 61, who lived on Sorok for six years until 1974, returned in 2008 after living with other former leprosy sufferers in a village near Seoul. People outside the village “wouldn’t even look at me ... restaurants wouldn’t sell meals to us,” Yu said. “People on Sorok Island make me feel at ease,” she said, wearing a pair of big sunglasses, her face dotted with black spots from anti-leprosy medication. “I feel comfortable here and this is where I’ll die.” Starting about a decade ago, the number of returning former

patients began gradually increasing. Over the past few years, about 70 people, mostly former residents, have resettled here each year. Six years ago, a bridge was built linking the island, which is about the size of New York’s Central Park, to the mainland, symbolizing the end of its isolation. Growing numbers of tourists are visiting the island, which still preser ves historic sites, including a detention building for disobedient patients and another ward where sterilizations took place. These days, there are about 570 former leprosy patients, with an average age of about 74, as well as six who are currently being treated for leprosy but not contagious, according to officials at the government-run Sorokdo National Hospital. Twelve doctors are on staff. Leprosy, also called Hansen’s disease, is neither highly contagious nor fatal. It is a disabling chronic bacterial infection that often lies dormant for years before attacking the body’s ner ves and slowly causing numbness. Hands and feet eventually claw inward and serious injuries often go unnoticed because no pain is felt — fingers and toes can be lost and blindness can occur. It has been curable since the 1940s thanks to antibiotics. As in many Western countries, leprosy has almost disappeared from South Korea, which reported only six new cases in 2010. The disease remains a problem in Brazil, India, Indonesia and East Timor. Worldwide the number of new leprosy patients has dropped from 10 million in 1991 to around 230,000 last year. Active leprosy communities still exist in several countries, including in India, China and Vietnam, and discrimination continues to plague those maimed by the age-old disease.

IN BRIEF TRENTON, N.J. — A nor thern New Jersey man is among 32 American students selected as the newest Rhodes Scholars. The prestigious award won by Alexander J. Diaz of Nor th Bergen provides him with all expenses for study at Oxford University in England. He will be there for two years, star ting in October 2014, and plans to focus his studies comparative social policy. “I didn’t know if it was real at first,” he said yesterday about learning that he had been chosen as Rhodes Scholar. “There were feelings of joy and tears of joy. I don’t cr y too much, but this has been a dream of mine and it’s a blessing to just receive this tremendous award.” The 21-year-old Diaz is a senior at Har vard, where he majors in psychology. He also plays club basketball and has ser ved as manager for the university’s basketball team.

Diaz has focused his studies and research on the cognitive mechanisms that underlie unconscious race, ethnic and gender bias. He’s also worked with leading law enforcement authorities to use psychological research to achieve less biased trials. “This honor gives me the chance to learn more about social policy and also provides a platform to help get the changes I want implemented, to help people learn more about themselves and others,” Diaz said. While he’s overseas, Diaz hopes to travel around Europe. He also plans to visit many communities in England and the United Kingdom to study and learn from the people who live in those areas. This year’s Rhodes Scholars were selected from 857 applicants endorsed by 327 colleges and universities. — The Associated Press

NEPTUNE, N.J. — Colonists pickled them in vinegar, cooked them in fat and used their shells for home construction and farming, giving the lowly oyster a vibrant role in the early Bayshore economy. But by the early 1800s, the natural oyster beds first har vested by native Americans were dying in Raritan Bay, especially around Staten Island, according to historians. Industrialization and the dredging of channels for shipping eventually killed the hardiest of the remaining beds. Now, oysters might make a comeback, and not just for food. This time, they could provide a natural barrier against the high waves from future storms. That’s the hope that has emerged from a federally backed program to come up with ways to bolster the shore’s defenses. The Asbur y Park Press reports that the idea, being developed by landscape architects, research scientists, marine biol-

ogists and others, also focuses on ecological education and other measures to tie the reintroduction of oysters in Raritan Bay to the community. Last week, Rebuild by Design, a program headed by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and funded in part by charitable organizations, chose 10 out of 41 ideas conceived by 10 transnational, multidisciplinar y teams. Three of those ideas stand to benefit the Jersey Shore, from the Bayshore to Asbur y Park to Barnegat Bay. All 10 ideas are expected to be funded with federal dollars. Five months of community interaction is the next phase. The protection from oysters would come from oyster reefs and breakwaters made with a form of concrete that attracts the bivalves. Those reefs and breakwaters would not lessen what’s known as “still-water elevation,” or flood

height. But according to computer modeling, they would cut down on wave height, said Philip Orton, a scientist at the Stevens Institute of Technology in Hoboken who researches physical oceanography and storm surges. It was the combination of flood water and the powerful waves on top of it that devastated Union Beach and other Bayshore towns during Superstorm Sandy. Oyster reefs “cause waves to break,” said Orton, the member of a team led by Scape/Landscape Architecture, which has an office in New York. The reefs would build up with oysters over time, acting as nature’s “eco-system engineers,” he said. If the project commences as expected, it would start as a pilot program that would be studied for real-world data, Orton said. The project could grow to include breakwaters and oyster reefs around the Bayshore. — The Associated Press

Rutgers cannot be defined by one man or woman THE DETOUR SABRI RAFI

utgers has seen bluer skies. We looked away as gray headlines flashed scandals left and right, hitting our legacy on a national level. We cringed as an ill-fated last minute interception kept us from a BCS Bowl run last year. We looked on hungrily as our beloved grease trucks rolled away from their sacred College Avenue location. To put it in the most eloquent and superfluous of words: It sucked. But regardless, our dreams may have been shaken and our spirits dampened, but we stood firm in the face of adversity, and with every scratch to our pride, we continued to bleed scarlet. We as a university strongly upheld the belief the bolded “R” that we carry so dearly across our chests is more than just a symbol, but rather our source of inspiration and strength. Lately, this general vibe in our community appears to be stirred from the loss of an integral member who often appeared larger than life. It hit a tender spot in our souls, which we guard so cautiously. This person was not some highly acclaimed figurehead

perceived, because while they were both part of the integrated system that makes up a university, Rutgers is far greater than one man or woman. They do not define Rutgers, but rather, we, the students, are the ones who define Rutgers. We are the ones proudly raise that “R” banner high to the sky and we are the ones sing our anthem loudly in the face of trials and tribulations. Our actions and what we stand for are what encompass Rutgers, not the fatal last-second game ending football interceptions or some greasy (but delicious) sandwich. So while that storm cloud still seems to linger over our beautiful university, and with our silver lining still unknown, we must come up with the internal resolve and the hope of making this campus a better home for not only us, but the future knights that will one day roam our halls. Time has proven that like humans, even knights can fall at times. We must be there to pick our fallen knights off the ground and to raise them to new heights. Not to prove anything to some sports or news organization, but for ourselves. It is by far the only way that we can honor the scarlet brand we represent. Rutgers is not giving in.

Private student loans more problematic than helpful COMMENTARY MARK WALLACH

ave you ever wondered why students pay such high interest rates to borrow funds for education? If you haven’t, you should. The logical answer is that loans to students with no income are risky. This is completely true. But my bets are that private lenders are not charging only for the additional risk. They are also taking advantage of unsophisticated, unsuspecting student borrowers, as well as not being fully transparent about the rates borrowers may or may not qualify for. First off, let’s not confuse federal loans with private loans. Federal loan rates are regulated by the government and are fairly disclosed to borrowers. The rates typically do not var y based on a borrower’s creditworthiness. Private lenders, however, charge interest rates that are often significantly higher than comparable rates on federal loans. Rates also var y based on creditworthiness, or so the lenders claim. Furthermore, these rates are not disclosed in the same transparent manner as federal rates. Until the recent implementation of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, the private student

A one-point decrease to 7.875 percent would lower the total payments by $321, lowering the interest payments by almost 15 percent over the life of the loan. Now you tell me if each point matters. I stand by my bet that there is more than risk and creditworthiness that goes into interest rate decisions on private student loans. But perhaps we can change this. Take action. You’re probably thinking to yourself, “So why doesn’t someone do something about it?” The problem is that data on private student loan rates are not publically available to the extent that data on federal loans are. Detailed data are likely in the hands of the lenders and servicers themselves. And they have little incentive to disclose the information. So how can we find out if lenders are taking advantage of unsophisticated borrowers? We can collect our own data. And you can help. If you have a private student loan, tell us about it by completing a 10-minute sur vey at privatestudentloansur vey.com. After completing the sur vey, you will be entered into a drawing to win an iPad. So take ten minutes, and help us help you.

November 25, 2013 Stephan Pastis

Today’s Birthday (11/25/13). Follow your heart as well as your intellect this year. It may carry you to exotic destinations to study with a master. A positive financial attitude and solid structures let you grow your nest egg. Your family lands a windfall. Care lovingly for the health of the group. This includes you. Time outside in nature fills your spirit. To get the advantage, check the day’s rating: 10 is the easiest day, 0 the most challenging. Aries (March 21-April 19) — Today is an 8 — The pace picks up. It’s easy to get distracted and miss an important point. Set up necessary structures to support the final goal and avoid unnecessary upsets. Let others share expenses. May it easy for them to contribute. Taurus (April 20-May 20) — Today is a 7 — Continue to increase your knowledge this week. The perfect solution appears. All your care pays off, and romance blossoms. But there may be pitfalls or difficulties. Have fun in the garden. Keep nurturing and feeding the soil (and the soul). Gemini (May 21-June 20) — Today is an 8 — Your mind moves quickly. Don’t try to slow it down, as you’re in discovery mode. Find a treasure in your own home. Clean up your space and get a surprise. Postpone dreams and get to basics. Cancer (June 21-July 22) — Today is a 9 — Your routine and patience could be challenged. Clear clutter to free up space and possibilities. You’re capable of turning everything into a learning opportunity. Share what you figure out to save others time. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — Today is a 9 — You’ll be gaining confidence this week, naturally. New profits become available, or at least more visible to you. But don’t assume you know more than you do. A partner masks their emotions. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Today is a 7 — Your dedication, patience and attention to detail are a necessity right now, and they pay off sooner than later. Everything that you’re going through makes you stronger. All is not as it appears — take care. Rest up tonight.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) — Today is an 8 — Your imagination goes wild over the next few days. Some confrontations are expected, but stay out of them anyway. You’re overly sensitive right now. Postpone a romantic interlude. Meditate. Take a bubble bath. Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) — Today is an 8 — There’s a choice ahead, and it’s not an easy one. Your friends pull through for you. Continue to decrease your outside obligations. Clean up a mess. Handle chores, and then kick back and assimilate it all. Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) — Today is an 8 — Be patient with things that don’t make sense. Taking deep breaths and frequent breaks is almost mandatory. Career matters emerge for your consideration. Run a reality check, and then choose. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Today is an 8 — Who will you be today? Choose a character and costume that fits your ideal avatar, with room for improvement. Each new advance presents new challenges. Level up and win a new belt or power. Don’t forget it’s just a game. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) — Today is a 9 — Focus on finances, and stay put. Traveling isn’t advisable right now. If you have to go, be prepared for delays. Pack an extra toothbrush. Team resources can be impacted. Plan your next move. Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) — Today is a 9 — Make a romantic connection. Develop strong partnership and start a new phase in the relationship. Clear up confusion before proceeding in order to avoid backtracking. Chart your course.

Copper posts 23 points, 13 boards at forward for injured Laney in Rutgers’ romp continued from back The Philadelphia native, filling in at small forward for injured junior Betnijah Laney, stroked a consistent jumper, confidently drove the lane and attacked the glass. She shot 56 percent — including a perfect 5-of-5 from the foul line — tallying 17 of the team’s 36 second-half points. Copper, Rutgers’ leading scorer at 17.6 points per game this year, is also averaging more than twice as many rebounds as her rookie campaign with 7.4 per game. “I’m a lot more confident this year. I’m a lot more comfortable with the things that are going on on the floor,” Copper said. “My team-

mates are keeping me up and being positive about everything. It’s really the team that’s keeping me up and keeping me going and confident with everything I’m doing.” But Rutgers’ outing was not per fect. The Knights shot a season-low 38 percent from the field, significantly cooling off after a 20-4 run to start the game. For more than five minutes, Rutgers missed seven shots and did not score. Howard went on a 6-0 run to cut the lead to 20-10 with 7:13 left in the first half. In an ef for t to deepen her rotation and mix and match, Stringer thinks some of her own lineup changes contributed to the struggles. “Some of the combinations that I put in could have thrown us off,” Stringer said. “It wasn’t anybody’s fault as much as it probably was mine.” Yet the Knights stayed the course, continuing to control tem-

po and generate turnovers. Howard never got any closer than within 8 points with about five minutes to go in the first half. With 1:52 to play before halftime, Hollivay took on a foul from three defenders in the left lane, posted up to her right and converted at the line for a 3-point play. That pushed the lead back to double digits. Rutgers came out running in the second half, collecting 15 points off turnovers and steadily pulling away. “That’s our style,” Stringer said. “People have seen us play us, so they’re going to come at us with lots of different things — zones and all the other things. But we need to run, we need to press.” For updates on the Rutgers women’s basketball team, follow Greg Johnson on Twitter @GregJohnsonRU. For general Rutgers spor ts updates, follow @TargumSpor ts.

Rutgers improves foul shooting against Howard By Justin Lesko Staff Writer

The Rutgers women’s basketball team had extra incentive to increase their percentage Friday night at the Louis Brown Athletic Center. “[Head] coach [C. Vivian Stringer] told us if we don’t shoot over 80 percent, we were going to run 55s [double suicides],” said sophomore guard Kahleah Copper. “So we made it important that we made free throws.” The Scarlet Knights team shot a season-high .750 free throw percentage in their 69-38 victory against Howard (2-3), converting 15 of 20 attempts. The Knights (4-1) before averaged near 60 percent from the char-

ity stripe a game this season, with a previous season high of 65.4 percent in the opener against Princeton. Through five games, their season low is 57.1 percent against Northeastern. Copper was a perfect 5-for-5 from the free throw line. While Rutgers did not eclipse the 80 percent mark, head coach C. Vivian Stringer agreed the team would round the 75 percent up to prevent the suicides.

The

Knights’

rebounds in the first half against the Bison tied their game total in the team’s loss to UMass on Wednesday, as well as their opener against Princeton. They ended the game with 57 rebounds, eclipsing their

previous high of 44 against Nor theastern. Rutgers’ noticeable height advantage against Howard might be responsible for that. The Bisons’ two tallest players are listed as 6-foot-1while the Knights have five players who are at least that height. “When I noticed I had a big height advantage, I just went out there and did what I had to do,” said 6-foot-4 sophomore forward Rachel Hollivay. Hollivay and Copper led the team with 13 rebounds each. Hollivay also used the advantage to swat away nine Bisons shots. Guard Te’Shya Heslip, listed at 5-foot-5, led Howard’s offense, shooting 5-for-20. Heslop had

a team-high 11 points and five steals but also turned the ball over 10 times.

R utgers

had to respond

to its first loss of the season just two days after Massachusetts outscored it, 64-63, in Amherst, Mass. “I think that was our challenge to see how well we could recover because, you know, so much of this is mental as well as the physical side,” Stringer said. “We should have done better where we were [at UMass], but we can just hang our heads and feel sorry about it all the time or we can play.” Stringer was impressed by the 32-point victory. “It wasn’t important about

winning, it was how we win,” Stringer said.

Highly

touted

freshman

Tyler Scaife earned her first start of the season against Howard. The top point guard in the class of 2013, according to ESPN HoopGurlz, Scaife played all but four minutes of the first half, shooting 3-for-10 with a rebound. Her playing time dropped to only nine minutes in the second half and she only shot the ball twice, making one basket. Junior forward Christa Evans did not start the game after starting the previous two. She scored the game winner the last time Rutgers played at the RAC, Nov. 17 against La Salle.

FOOTBALL FLOOD SAYS COACHING STAFF WILL DECIDE MONDAY ON QUARTERBACK REPS

Flood remains noncommittal on Nova, Dodd at QB By Greg Johnson Associate Sports Editor

After reviewing film Friday of junior quar terback Gar y Nova’s per formance Thursday night at Central Florida, Rutgers head football coach Kyle Flood had little new to repor t. The coaching staf f had yet to decide how it would divvy reps this week in practice between Nova and senior Chas Dodd, or if a competition would even take place. Flood also would not commit to Nova for the Knights’ final two regular season games.

“I’m not going to close the door on anything,” Flood said Friday via teleconference. “We’re still evaluating it. We’re not going to practice [Saturday], and I’ll make a decision before we go out there [today].” A quar terback competition opened the week following the Scarlet Knights’ 49-14 loss Oct. 26 to Houston, with Nova and Dodd both taking firstteam reps. Flood even suggested the two might alternate the team’s first few of fensive series’ Nov. 2 against Temple, but Nova took ever y snap. He threw 27-for-38

for 371 yards and three touchdowns — arguably his best game of the season. But Nova’s inconsistencies, par ticularly against more marquee opponents, persist. “We have to continue to look at the film and examine where the breakdowns are and see if we feel like we can make enough improvements to stay the same course,” Flood said. “If we feel like Chas gives us the better chance to win, then that’s really where you make the decision.” Nova completed only 32 percent of his pass attempts in Orlando and has completed less

than half his throws in three of the last four games. Despite Nova’s glaring inaccuracies and few signs of improvement, Flood points to the running game as the driving force of the of fense that must improve. Sophomore running back P.J. James gained only 26 yards on 12 carries at UCF as Rutgers managed just 69 yards on 3.6 yards per rush. “If we’re not able to run the ball better, we are not designed right now to win a game where we have to throw the ball on ever y down,” Flood said. The Knights need one win in

their final two regular season games to secure bowl eligibility, which is about all Rutgers can cling to now. An 8-5 record with a bowl win is the Knights’ ceiling, but Flood still sees no demoralization in the locker room. “I think our team is frustrated, and that’s a good thing,” Flood said. “I don’t feel like the frustrations will lead to discouragement.” For updates on the Rutgers football team, follow Greg Johnson on Twitter @GregJohnsonRU.

November 25, 2013 VOLLEYBALL RUTGERS 3, TEMPLE 1

Knights end winless streak behind rookies’ play By Sean Stewart Staff Writer

On a weekend when the seniors took the spotlight, a Rutgers volleyball freshman stole the show. The Scarlet Knights ended their 14-game losing streak Friday against Temple (17-10, 8-7) in four sets behind the strong performances of freshman middle blocker Lauren Cloyd and freshman outside hitter Micaela Anderson. While the team fell in four sets to Memphis (14-16, 6-10) yesterday, the victory began the

senior day weekend at the College Avenue Gym. “It’s definitely boosted our spirits,” Cloyd said. “We cheered like and felt like we won the national championship, and I think it’s really going to help us do better further on for the rest of our season.” The Knights collected a win against a program with a winning record for the first time this year. The win also marked their first home and conference victory this year. The fourth set saw both teams trade leads throughout before the Knights took command at 20-18.

With the fifth largest crowd of the season, Rutgers inched closer to victor y and sealed it with sophomore outside hitter Alex Lassa’s kill to win the final set, 25-23. Rutgers impressed in the third set thanks to strong serving from sophomore defensive specialist Ronnie Komisarek. Her service helped Rutgers jump to a 13-4 lead as the Knights won the set in a 25-16 route. The Knights dropped the second set to the Owls because of eight attacking errors. The set was tightly contested, but Temple held on for a 25-23 win.

Rutgers never trailed in the opening frame, setting the stage for the night. The Knights’ size advantage hurt the Owls’ attack as Rutgers comfortably won, 25-15. Three players finished with double-digit kills for Rutgers and a strong .260 hitting percentage. Cloyd and sophomore Anna Sudbury proved essential to the Knights ‘victory. Their combined defense was strong throughout and both contributed in the offensive end to form a dangerous partnership. “We have been working on it all week so that connection has been getting better and better,” Sudbury said. “It was nice to see it tonight.”

Against Memphis, the team honored seniors Brittany Bozzini and Tracy Wright before the final home match of their careers. The Tigers’ relentless offense spoiled the occasion. In the fourth set, the Tigers pounced to an early lead and never looked back. Rutgers recorded its worst hitting percentage of the match and conceded the last point on a delay of game penalty during a serve to drop the match, 25-13. The Knights fared better in the third set. The set was back and forth with a 14-13 Memphis lead before the Knights went on a 7-0 run behind the service of Wright. Rutgers held on to win the set 25-18, holding Memphis to a .107 hit percentage. Memphis led early in the second set, 7-1, but Anderson’s nine kills helped Rutgers fight back. Trailing 19-18, the Tigers went on a 6-1 run to seal the set, 25-19. The Knights lacked the Tigers’ intensity in the first set, trailing 10-3 and never recovering. Rutgers dropped the opening frame, 25-11. While head coach C.J. Werneke was disappointed with the Knights’ play yesterday against Memphis, Rutgers play against Temple takes a tremendous weight of f the shoulder of the players and coaching staf f. “When our team commits to being a team consistently and brings a high level of energy and intensity coupled with intensity, good things can happen.” Werneke said. “We did that Friday … and we did that for one set today and it’s plagued us all year.” For updates on the Rutgers volleyball team, follow Targum Sports on Twitter @TargumSports.

WRESTLING RUTGERS 30, CLARION 12

Knights dismantle Golden Eagles with bonus points By Bradly Derechailo Associate Sports Editor

The Rutgers wrestling team emphasized gaining bonus points as essential to success given its youth. The Scarlet Knights stuck to that plan Friday night against Clarion, as the Knights (3-0) downed the Golden Eagles (2-3), 30-12, in Clarion, Pa. Senior 133-pounder Vincent Dellefave was Rutgers’ catalyst. The Toms River, N.J., native captured a 15-6 major decision against Clarion’s Sam Sherlock for his second dual victor y of the season. “There’s still areas to improve, but I just stuck to the game plan,” Dellefave said. “We knew the dude was going to come out hard for the first period, but I just kept wearing at him and eventually he caved in.” It was Dellefave’s first major decision as a senior while he continues to recover from a wrist injury that kept him out of the Knights’ first match Nov. 3 against Hofstra.

With a performance the likes of Friday’s against Sherlock, he is on the right track. Sherlock, ranked No. 18 in his weight class according to Intermat, transferred from Penn State last season and made an immediate impact for the Golden Eagles since moving from 141 pounds. Down to begin the match, Dellefave rallied back for the win in an outing that will likely earn him his first individual ranking this season. “A week earlier, he was the one protecting his lead,” said head coach Scott Goodale. “The whole theme of the week was to keep scoring and he never stopped wrestling.” When it comes to grappling against ranked opponents, Dellefave supports it. “You want to wrestle the guys who are either behind or ahead of you. It’s always good to wrestle ranked guys,” Dellefave said. Though Clarion’s other ranked wrestler, 149-pounder Justin Arthur, won by fall against sophomore Ken Theobold, Rutgers

collected four major decisions en route to the victory. Redshirt freshman 174-pounder Phil Bakuckus, freshman 125-pounder Scott Delvecchio, sophomore 197-pounder Hayden Hrymack and Dellefave all posted major decisions.

Hrymack’s win may have been the most impressive of all for Rutgers. Hr ymack earned a win by fall against Daniel Sutherland, moving Hr ymack’s dual record to 3-0 this season. Bonus points will be important

this season for Rutgers, which features five new starters in the dual roster and mostly sporting freshmen and sophomores as contributing wrestlers. It played a big factor in Rutgers’ first dual win of the season against Hofstra, when the Knights won, 22-21 Nov. 3 thanks to a bonus points tiebreaker. Though deciding the rest of their matches that way may not be the most dominant method to win, none of Rutgers’ dual meet losses this season came because of bonus points. Things might change for the Knights this Friday at the Northeast Duals when they play No. 15 Virginia and Michigan State. But Dellefave believes his team is moving in the right direction. “Boston is a good team, Clarion is a good team and Hofstra is a good team. They’re all good,” Dellefave said. “… It’s not the prettiest 3-0, but we haven’t lost yet.” For updates on the Rutgers wrestling team, follow Bradly Derechailo on Twitter @Bradly_D.

WOMEN’S BASKETBALL

Knights feed forwards in blowout win By Greg Johnson Associate Sports Editor

On countless trips down the floor of the Louis Brown Athletic Center on Friday night, Howard knew exactly where the Rutgers women’s basketball team was going with the ball. And the Bison could do nothing to stop it. Sophomore forward Rachel Hollivay imposed her 6-foot-4 frame through undersized double and triple teams to set career highs with 26 points, 13 rebounds and nine blocks. Sophomore wing Kahleah Copper added 23 points, 13 boards, five assists and two steals as the Scarlet Knights (4-1) rolled to a 69-38 win. “I told myself before the game that I needed to work hard for the team,” Hollivay said. “When I realized it in film that I had a big height advantage, I just went out there and did what I had to do.” Coming off a bitter 1-point loss at Massachusetts not even 48 hours prior, Hollivay’s assertiveness set the tone. She rebounded in traffic, raced down the floor and demanded the ball. Hollivay scored 10 of Rutgers’ first 20 points against Howard (2-3). “What we’re trying to do is take what another team gives us,” said head coach C. Vivian Stringer. “We keep attacking until they stop us, and they weren’t stopping Rachel. It was good to see Rachel was really posting up hard and trying to do what we need her to do.” Defensively, Hollivay kept Howard out of the lane, forcing the Bison to heave ill-advised jumpers and shoot only 25 percent from the field. Her play established momentum, but Copper’s own brilliance helped the Knights finish strong. See FORWARDS on Page 13

RU collapses in final period By Josh Bakan

got stitches in his head following an injury sustained last Tuesday against Drexel. The Tribe out-hustled Rutgers for a 72-62 victory using a nearly identical offense to Rutgers’, with full-court priority but several backdoor cuts in the half court. “It was two teams going in opposite directions,” Jordan said postgame. “They got the juice, they made shots, they got the confidence, they ran their offense harder, they believed in what they did. And we didn’t have belief, we didn’t have personality on the floor.” No Knight admitted lacking available depth affected them, but they appeared tired.

Sports Editor

It might have been the situation the Rutgers men’s basketball team wanted to avoid after Mike Rice’s firing. The Scarlet Knights had eight players when Eddie Jordan became head coach in April. They were down to eight because of injury and suspension when William & Mary sputtered a 20-0 run to begin the second half Saturday at the Louis Brown Athletic Center. Junior wing Craig Brown missed this game and will miss the next two because he

Rutgers slowly adjusted to the Tribes’ backdoor cuts. They slipped off pick and rolls and rebounds bounced off the frontcourt’s hands. After Rutgers (3-3) led, 33-24, at halftime, junior guard Myles Mack finally broke the Tribes’ (2-3) 20-0 run to begin the second half with a 3-pointer with 13:04 remaining. That made it a 44-36 William & Mary lead. Guard Julian Boatner gave the Tribe a 3633 lead with a 3-pointer 3:45 into the second half. Then William & Mary just kept outrunning Rutgers.
