Former inmate transitions to honors student

BY REENA DIAMANTE CORRESPONDENT

As a former inmate, School of Arts and Sciences junior Walter Fortson calls prison in New Jersey a hell on earth — a violent, unsanitary and annoying place that is not conducive to life.

Forston recalls how prison can take a psychological toll on those who cannot understand that they do not have control over the world outside.

Inmates were subject to random strip and room searches for the possibility of possessing contraband.

The animosity the inmates expressed toward each other frustrated him.

“That more than anything — not wanting to be around those types of people ever again in my life — is a big part of why I wanted to change,” Fortson said.

Fortson was convicted in Atlantic County only a few years ago for distributing drugs and was then incarcerated in the Mountainview Youth Correctional Facility in Annandale.

Today, the 25-year-old is an honors student as well as a Rutgers McNair scholar, a Rutgers Upward Bound mentor, a Mountainview Project adviser and a member of the NAACP Chapter, among other activities.

“It’s like a second chance in life, a second chance in success,” Fortson said. “Knowing what the other side looks like is definitely an incentive to try harder because you know how real it could get, you know how bad things can get. Knowing that I never want to go back that route keeps me focused.”

Fortson’s character today is a direct result of his spiritual growth from his self-reflection in the facility, he said. He thought about what frame of thinking led him there and what needed to be changed.

“Being in that position, when you look at your options, hindsight is always 20-20,” Fortson said.

“You made a mistake. Any opportunity you can get to make good in a situation, you definitely would like to capitalize on [it].”

A crucial event that helped Fortson become a University student was meeting Donald Roden, a Depar tment of Histor y associate professor,

The Rutgers University Student Assembly’s proposed ad-hoc committee on student privacy first began as an effort to review alcohol and drug policies at the University. But after the suicide of University student Tyler Clementi, RUSA changed its focus on privacy.

BY DEVIN SIKORSKI ASSOCIATE NEWS EDITOR

The Rutgers University Student Assembly is in the process of creating an ad-hoc committee on student privacy, claiming many students are unaware of both University and Residence Life policies.

The main purpose of the committee is to not only conduct a review of all University privacy policies but to also educate students on such policies, said RUSA President Yousef Saleh.

“We will also be looking at the general pulse of the students — how they feel

about their privacy or do they have any privacy,” said Saleh, a School of Arts and Sciences senior. “It would be educating students on how to increase their privacy, whether it be on Facebook or in their everyday life.”

After the death of University first-year student Tyler Clementi, who jumped off the George Washington Bridge after his roommate allegedly streamed a video of his intimate encounter with another man, there seemed to be a misunderstanding among students with online privacy, he said.

“People aren’t aware that their information is available [through Rutgers’] search site,” he said. “How do you

Although the administration is not aware of this committee, RUSA will work with the University after the review is finished, Saleh said.

“We want to make it a student-led effort, and we will consult the administration with our findings,” he said. “We might ask them for information about where we go to discuss a certain issue. That is the extent of it though.”

Students stretch out their bodies last night as part of a free pilates workshop hosted by the Rutgers University Programming Assocation. Attendeees were given a chance to unwind and win a few prizes.

The University and the New Jersey business community came together Monday at Rutgers Entrepreneurship Day to exchange and promote new ideas and technologies.

The event, held at the Rutgers Student Center on the College Avenue campus, focused on introducing developing companies and entrepreneurs to investors and creating interest for their products and ideas.

“The primar y purpose of this event is to provide a forum for academia and industr y to intersect,” said Marcus Crews, New Ventures program coordinator.

Entrepreneurs, students, alumni, professors and New Jersey business owners watched

technology presentations, presented posters of their business plans and participated in panel discussions about new technology and what being an entrepreneur entails.

Keynote speaker Daniel Schulman, founding CEO of Virgin Mobile USA and group president of Enterprise Growth of American Express, discussed the human side of the entrepreneurial experience and the difficulties an entrepreneur may face. “[Schulman] brings a wealth of knowledge and experience in enterprise entrepreneurship and any insights he shared were of tremendous value to the aud ience,” said Crews, a graduate student at the Rutgers Business School.

Speaker discusses website, evolution of Wall Street

BY CECILY SMITH CONTRIBUTING WRITER

To address the dif ferent transformations the stock market has experienced over the past few years, Hedge Fund Live CEO Jeremy Frommer spoke to University students Monday night and discussed key points about his new media company and its impact on Wall Street.

During Rutgers Business School Senior Associate Dean Mar tin Markowitz’s class, Frommer demonstrated the capabilities of Hedge Fund Live, a media company that provides a live broadcast from a hedge fund trading desk straight to computers anywhere.

“It delivers the key ingredient — it delivers transparency,” Frommer said.

Through the site, users can view traders and trading screens live, chat with traders and other members and watch traders interact with one another, he said.

Frommer and his business partner, President and Head of Sales and Marketing Alan Portnoi, decided to create Hedge Fund Live because they wanted something that was honest and that would allow investors to see exactly what was happening with their money.

“I felt that Wall Street truly rewards transparency — real transparency — and I thought Wall Street would punish those that weren’t transparent,” Portnoi said. “So we went out to

build the fund, the Hedge Fund that was truly, truly transparent.”

Frommer said the Wall Street he once knew has drastically changed, and people today tend to confuse the “old Wall Street” with the “new Wall Street.”

Old Wall Street was based on a key concept that all of Wall Street was built during the ’80s, ’90s and the earlier part of the last decade, he said.

“That concept was culture,” Frommer said. “It was a world

“It evolved from a culture of communication to one of secrecy.”

JEREMY FROMMER Hedge Fund Live CEO

where you felt like you were part of something and one of the key components of that world was training — it was education, it was mentoring.”

As culture evolved over time, trading became more intense, he said. Speed became the most important aspect of business on Wall Street, forcing programmers to build rapid technology systems in order to execute trades quickly.

“No longer was it acceptable to call my broker or my salesman,” he said. “No longer could I wait 30 seconds to hear back whether my stock would be bought. I had to know in a millisecond.”

Frommer said the hunger for speed led to incredible rewards, but at the same time the stock market had evolved to a market filled with greed.

“The culture evolved from one that mentored and prepared young people for a world [where] if you worked hard … you would reap the rewards, to a culture that simply became about the reward,” he said. “It evolved from a culture of communication to one of secrecy.”

Portnoi said the evolution of technology changed the way Wall Street and the business world operates.

“Technology has changed ever ything, especially Wall Street,” he said. “That’s the future. This is where the world is going to be in five years. You have to be ahead of the cur ve and to be ahead of the cur ve you have to take a chance.”

Markowitz said he was ver y excited to have Frommer as a guest speaker in his class.

“I was extremely impressed with his passion and his forward thinking on how the stock market is going to change and how he is going to change the stock market and evolve our students,” he said. “It puts the Rutgers Business School at the cutting edge of ever ything.”

Frommer and Por tnoi are focused on opening Wall Street to the world in a ver y clear and honest way.

“I’m hoping to bring back the concept of culture to the trading world, to the financial world, to the business world in general,” Frommer said.

INMATE: Project helps 39 former prisoners since start continued from front who in 2005 star ted the Mountainview Project.

The project is a program allowing the University to admit young people who have been incarcerated in New Jersey, said Vicki Brooks, assistant dean for transfer and nontraditional students.

“I realized what he was offering, grabbed it and clenched it as hard as I could,” Fortson said. “I tried to make the best out of every single opportunity.”

Since the project’s inception, Roden helped 39 former inmates become full-time undergraduate students at the University.

His outreach in the facility and personal advocacy motivated inmates, like Fortson. “[Roden] called my parents and got them excited. He’s been

IDEAS: Attendees share, promote their companies continued from front Students, entrepreneurs and business owners interacted directly through two panel discussions, which focused on how to star t and fund a new business.

A number of experienced individuals, including Nistica CEO Ashish Vengsarker and Edison Ventures general partner Joseph Allegra, spoke during the session.

Entrepreneurs from developing and established companies were also present, exposing their products and companies to the new generation of businessmen and entrepreneurs.

Korbid Thompson, of King James Express and Travel, attended the event to promote his online company.

“The Internet is a great avenue from which the younger generation can star t,” Thompson said.

Students and entrepreneurs also received additional personal discussion time with business owners during the

corresponding with them through e-mails,” Fortson said. “He was just really proactive, advantageous and instrumental in getting me into this more than I could have done for my lack of resources and inability to reach out.”

There are currently 27 students involved with the project, said Christopher Agans, acting director of Student Suppor t Ser vices.

There will be four more attending next semester.

“I don’t want to leave out the rest of the program because we are together as one unit,” Fortson said. “We are all striving with the same goal and the same intention, same motivations. I think that all of us all together collectively are just tr ying our hardest.”

The students in the program are highly praised by the staff that works closely with them.

They are polite, respectful and conscientious, said Brooks, an

academic adviser who sometimes meets with the students up to four times a month.

“If your typical student is focused, many of them are more [focused] because they know the opportunity they have been given,” Brooks said. “They want to take

Poster/Networking Session, when entrepreneurs presented their ideas and projects through visuals and discussion.

“We were seeking cooperation with industry partners at an early stage, to secure the shortest possible time to the market,” said doctoral student Debora Esposito. “I got four to five people interested who promised to call and follow up.”

Esposito and other students had an opportunity to take the knowledge they learned in class and see how it could be applied in the business world.

“Rutgers students had a unique opportunity to see the intersection of theor y and practice when it comes to entrepreneurship,” Crews said.

Professors who have been working on technologies for inventions, such as parking spot detectors and driver drowsiness sensors, presented their ideas to tr y to appeal to investors.

“Rutgers professors and their research benefit from increased exposure which adds to Rutgers’ prestige,” Crews said.

Richard Mammone, associate vice president of Corporate Liaison, said listening to the suc-

advantage of it. They don’t want to waste their time. Therefore they want to be sure every moment is spent doing something positive for themselves.”

Like Brooks, Agans has witnessed how the former inmates are wholly invested in pursuing an education.

“They are engaged. It is a much more urgent process for them,” Agans said. “They’re sitting up in front of the class.

They’re meeting with their professor in their of fice hours.

They’re really happy to be here.”

Some of the students in the Mountainview Project attend the University after they are released from the facility, Brooks said.

Some of them then go to a halfway house, called the Kintock House in Newark, and they commute from that house to school until they are released, Agans said.

When Roden started the program in the summer of 2005, a number of University faculty members became involved, he said.

“Those colleagues say these students show a lot of potential,

this student can actually earn a degree if given the opportunity,” he said. “We go in and interview them, and we screen them for a lot of things — we actually see if they are a good fit.”

Roden has been visiting the facility since 2002, after his mother passed away, Agans said. She worked on reading and literacy programs in community centers in Milwaukee.

Since he star ted visiting Mountainview, Roden worked as an academic tutor and teacher.

After he learned that within the facility inmates were able to attain their GEDs and college credit from county colleges, Roden wanted to connect the inmates to the University.

“I’m very proud of [the students] overall. They’re doing an excellent job. I’m thrilled with their achievements,” Roden said.

“The students seem to get stronger with each year.”

cesses and failures of others provides inspiration to new entrepreneurs and students.

Mammone, a professor at the Rutgers Business School, hoped the event would encourage students to start businesses, which could lead to more jobs and stimulate the economy in the future.

He also stressed the importance of innovation and its role in American culture and history.

“Innovation is taking knowledge and using it to make money,” Mammone said. “We want to bring together the natural resources of New Jersey, the intellectual capital, the investors, and create companies.”

Crews agreed that such innovation is the key to improving the economy.

“My hope is that all the companies and technologies present at the event will be funded by investors and transformed into impactful, international enterprises that improve people’s quality of life, encourages reinvestment back into the Rutgers community and creates wealth for Rutgers faculty, students and alumni,” he said.

Crews said the University is encouraging job growth and

economic development in many different industries and communities by helping entrepreneurs.

Regardless of whether the event leads to students’ starting businesses, the University as a whole benefited because it served as a focal point of entrepreneurship and innovation, Crews said.

“Rutgers can forge and strengthen ties with industr y par tners that could result in funding for research, quicker transition of Rutgers technologies to the marketplace, job opportunities for students and closer involvement with entrepreneurs and business support organizations throughout New Jersey,” he said.

The event also utilized efforts of the University’s new Of fice of Research Alliances, whose purpose is to assist companies from a variety of industries that want to outsource their research, according to the event’s press release.

“What we have found is Rutgers has the worldrenowned researchers, capabilities, equipment and technology necessar y to help companies accelerate and further develop

the value-add needed to generate new strategic investment, partnerships and eventual jobs,” said Steven Or tley, associate director of the ORA. In addition to learning about how to be more business savvy, students had a chance to network and share experiences with their peers.

Konrad Imielinski, a student fellow at a venture capital firm called .406 Ventures, looked for student start-ups for his company at the event.

“Basically what I provide is a great opportunity for anyone at Rutgers who has an idea and is seeking a connection with the potential of getting funding,” said Imielinski, a School of Arts and Sciences junior. “It is very difficult, otherwise, to get in contact and develop a relationship with a VC firm.”

Mikhail Naumov, founder of the Rutgers Entrepreneurial Society and a School of Arts and Sciences senior, looked for investors and people to share his company with. Naumov and Imielinski found each other through the event.

“We’re looking to develop mutually beneficial relationships,” Naumov said.

“We are all striving with the same goal and the same intention, same motivations.”

ISSUES: RUSA started committee review over summer continued from front Although the committee will review University policies dealing with privacy, there is more need to educate students because many are just unaware, said Kristen Clarke, University Affairs chair.

“We feel that there is a lot of disconnect between all of the various people involved — the students, Residence Life, [resident assistants], [Rutgers University Police Department],” she said. “So it’s really kind of a fact-finding mission to see what the rules are.”

Clarke, a School of Arts and Sciences junior, said the reason for such disconnect could be the difficulty in finding the policies online. She added that even if students get to the website detailing University policy, some information is not updated.

“We’re at a huge University … [and] it’s just that there is a lot of people and a lot of information,” Clarke said. “We just want to make sure that the information is getting to everyone that it needs to.”

RUSA members star ted working on a committee over the summer that would review drug and alcohol policies at the University, she said. But after Clementi’s suicide, RUSA’s University Af fairs committee felt the problem of not understanding University policies was much bigger.

“The problem students had with drug and alcohol policies was that they weren’t sure what their rights were in their dorm room,” Clarke said. “That goes kind of hand-in-hand with what happened [with Clementi].

Basically, what are your rights as a student in a dorm room?”

Although the University technically owns the residence halls, Clarke said a student lives there for many months out of a year, and the policies should represent that.

“So we’re hoping to look into the privacy aspect and see if maybe the University policies do need to be updated,” she said.

Dan Herber t, a Busch University Senate representative, championed the effort to create the ad-hoc committee and said students’ difficulty in comprehending University policies was caused by “the Byzantine way of accessing it,” creating a slew of misinformation.

“We’re hoping to look into the privacy aspect and see if maybe the ... policies do need to be updated.”

KRISTEN CLARKE RUSA University Affairs Chair

“Students talk to one another and make stories about what a given rule is. You hear things from friends about a policy,” said Herbert, a School of Arts and Sciences senior. “You wind up with a culturally formed idea of what the rule is without any basis or fact.”

By handing out a pamphlet at first-year orientation or putting policy information online, Herbert said the University is satisfied with the notion that students are aware.

But Herbert said this is far from the truth.

“The reality is students don’t pay a lot of heed to that because it isn’t necessary at the time,” he

said. “They’re not going to research all of the laws so they are aware of them ahead of time.

It only starts to surface at a certain point.”

A major focus of the committee goes fur ther than just reviewing policies dealing with privacy in an actual residence hall, Herbert said.

“It’s whether someone can enter your digital room or apartment,” he said. “So all the dr ug and alcohol questions come down to what a University official or other wise is allowed to know about a student without their expressed consent.”

But Herbert said although online privacy is unclear for many students at the University, the method to monitor or explain such privacy policies is just as opaque.

“When you’re talking about the concept of networks, you’re talking about information traveling over Rutgers’ wires and ending up on Facebook servers. So there is a real question of jurisdiction,” he said. “I feel no part of society has figured out understandable ways of breaking up that jurisdiction.”

Although the ad-hoc committee on student privacy will review University policies and submit recommendations to the administration, Herbert said this does not mean there are necessarily any problems or reasons for updates.

“We’re not really aware of glaring issues,” he said. “But the problem is that nobody would be because nobody has read the policies in a long time.”

University policies can be found at policies.rutgers.edu and the Student Code of Conduct is located at judicialaffairs.rutgers.edu. Each website outlines every University policy dealing with issues of privacy, drugs and alcohol for students.

NEW IWL DIRECTOR TO ASSUME JOB IN SUMMER Alison Bernstein will become director of the Institute for Women’s Leadership in July, according to a University Media Relations press release.

“Dr. Bernstein, who earned her bachelor’s degree at Vassar College and her master’s and doctorate at Columbia University, brings impressive credentials to this position,” said University President Richard L. McCormick in a statement.

Bernstein, a scholar who focuses on women’s studies and humanities and a former vice president of the Ford Foundation, is currently a professor at Spelman College in Atlanta, where she is the William H. and Camille Cosby Endowed Chair.

It was the University’s commitment to gender equality that led Bernstein to accept her new position, according to the IWL website.

“Rutgers is second to none among great universities in this respect,” she said in a statement. “The ground is very fertile for making an even greater difference, building on the past and creating a more inclusive and effective future.”

Also a former member of the Presidential Advisory Board on Tribal Colleges and Universities and the Board of Advisors to the Smithsonian Institution-National Museum of American History, Bernstein wants to work to make life better for those who are less privileged, both in the United States and abroad.

“Women and girls still represent two-thirds of the world’s poor, so I intend to use my networks and contacts in the United States and overseas … to help … scholars and activists learn from each other, and to help them figure out how to adapt what works in one situation to others,” she said in a statement The IWL, founded in 1991, works to advance women’s leadership in various academic areas.

Civil rights groups fight for same-sex federal benefits THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK — Gay civil rights groups tr ying to build momentum for a possible Supreme Court showdown filed two lawsuits yesterday that seek to strike down portions of a 1996 law that denies married samesex couples federal benefits.

The lawsuits were filed in federal cour ts in Connecticut and New York and come just months after a federal judge in Boston struck down a key component of the federal Defense of Marriage Act. The legal actions seek judicial declarations that the law enacted by Congress in 1996, when it appeared Hawaii would soon legalize same-sex marriage, was unconstitutional because it prevents the federal government from af fording pension and other benefits to same-sex couples. Since 2004, five states — Connecticut, Iowa, New Hampshire, Vermont and Massachusetts — and the District of Columbia have legalized gay marriage.

In Hartford, Conn., the Gay & Lesbian Advocates & Defenders sued the federal government on behalf of a Connecticut widower and married couples from Connecticut, Vermont and New Hampshire. The other lawsuit was filed on behalf of a New York woman, Edith Schlain Windsor, who met her late spouse, Thea Clara Spyer, nearly a half century ago at a restaurant.

“No one should have to fight with the government after losing the person she’s loved for

Gay civil rights groups filed lawsuits in Connecticut and New York courts to strike down portions of a 1996 law that denies married same-sex couples federal benefits. more than four decades,” said Donna Lieberman, executive director of the New York Civil Liber ties Union. “Edie and Thea made the same lifelong commitment that other married couples make, and their marriage deser ves the same dignity, respect and protection af forded other families.”

Mar y Bonauto, an attorney with Gay & Lesbian Advocates & Defenders, said the Connecticut lawsuit was filed to maintain the

momentum the group gained with the success of its challenge against the law in Massachusetts.

U.S. District Judge Joseph Tauro in Boston ruled in July in two separate lawsuits that the Defense of Marriage Act forces the state to discriminate against its own citizens to qualify for federal funding. He also said it violates the Constitution’s equal protection clause.

The Justice Department said in a statement that it had no

response to the lawsuits, except that the government “is defending the statute, as it traditionally does when acts of Congress are challenged.”

The department said that, as a policy matter, President Barack Obama has made clear that he believes the law is “discriminatory and should be repealed” and was working with Congress to do so.

The filing of multiple lawsuits will likely result in rulings in dif ferent federal cour t

districts. That could increase the likelihood that the Supreme Cour t will eventually consider the issue.

Also, as the various lawsuits proceed, rulings by higher courts would affect wider areas. For instance, the 1st U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Boston covers includes Rhode Island, Maine and New Hampshire.

One of the Connecticut litigants, Jerr y Passaro, 45, of Milford, was denied sur vivor benefits after his husband, Tom Buckholz, died of lymphoma.

“It’s ver y hurtful,” Passaro said. “Tommy and I were a team for so many years and to have that false sense of security that you are getting married and will have the same entitlements that ever yone else has, it’s ver y, ver y unhealthy.”

Raquel Ardin, of Nor th Hartland, Vt., said she felt like she and her wife, L ynda DeForge, 54, were being treated like second-class citizens when DeForge was denied time off from the U.S. Postal Ser vice under the Family and Medical Leave Act to take care of Ardin.

“I just don’t think it’s right,” Ardin said. The couple married in 2009 and have been together 30 years.

Bradley Kleinerman, 47, and his husband, Flint Gehre, 44, of Avon, said they lose money ever y year on taxes by being forced to file as single or head of household. They also have to prepare a third federal return as a couple, so they can figure out the income figures to put on their joint state return.

POLL SHOWS NJ VOTERS WANT CHRISTIE IN STATE, NOT WHITE HOUSE New Jersey voters do not believe that Gov. Chris Christie should run for president, according to an nj.com ar ticle.

A Quinnipiac University poll reported that voters in New Jersey are content with Christie’s work as governor, with 51 percent of voters polled approving of his performance while 38 percent disapproved.

Fifty-two percent called the governor’s first year in of fice a success, but only one-four th of voters polled

agree that Christie would make a strong candidate for president.

Of New Jersey voters polled, 67 percent consider any talk of Christie running for president as nothing more than political gossip.

“We like our in-your-face governor, Christopher Christie. ... But all that Christie-for-president chatter in the national news media? New Jerseyans think it’s more political gossip than a serious possibility,” Maurice Carroll, Quinnipiac University poll director,

said in the article.

Most voters have not considered the idea of Christie running for president, and those who have find it highly unlikely that he will run. Sixtyone percent do not believe Christie will run for president any time in the near future, according to the poll.

Christie has denied any speculations of his candidacy in 2012 but leaves the question open for 2016.

Israel acts logically, but selfishly

W

hile President Barack Obama, Palestinians and the European Union have all criticized Israel’s construction plans to build 1,300 apartments in East Jerusalem, Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had none of it. A harsh statement from his office hit back at international scolding by saying, “Jerusalem is not a settlement. It is the capital of the state of Israel.” Israel is following its own manifest destiny, but it must be careful not to create additional conflict on land that is internationally disputed by the Palestinian National Authority and a number of United Nation members who consider it an international territory.

The construction of the apartments will take place in East Jerusalem, an area the Palestinian people regard as the capital of their future state. In the bloody conflict in the War of 1967, or The Six-Day War, Israel captured the territory. The international community never recognized this annexation of the city’s East sector. This move by Israel is therefore bound to disrupt the ever-present peace talks in the area.

We recognize Israel’s move as highly capitalistic and yet greatly immoral. The state has already displayed its disillusion with the most recent of peace talks. This will only further distance it from achieving any level of cooperation with the Palestinian people, who have already pledged not to resume please talks unless the Israeli state halted construction in east Jerusalem and the West Bank.

The construction will further proliferate the deprivation of Palestinian needs for equal opportunity in Jerusalem. It will alienate Palestinians by isolating the group from the dominant Israeli people with whom they share the land.

The Israeli state has simply chosen the economic logic of developing itself without regard for the Palestinian nation. It makes sense to Israel and it makes sense in their constant international development. But there is the question of morality in money and economy. Capitalism does not take human rights into account and neither does Israel.

The Israeli state is acting just as an international player should in a situation of conflict. But at the same time, it is not considering the Palestinian nation living alongside its own citizens. We support the capitalistic ideal of building within a state’s borders, but when a dispute over land is a cause for a violation of human rights, problems must be solved before any sort of economic-minded move is taken.

Video game law rates maturity

T

he U.S. Supreme Court has undertaken its first case involving video games. The case, Schwarzenegger vs. Entertainment Merchants Association, will make a decision regarding the legality of a law passed in California in 2005, which made the sale of mature-rated video games to minors illegal. There is already a rating system in place for video games, which attempts to alert consumers to the age-appropriateness of games. It makes sense for California and other states to enact a method whereby the government can enforce these ratings. If the government takes no steps to regulate video game sales according to their ratings, then the rating system itself becomes useless.

Opponents of the law have challenged it based on First Amendment grounds. They argue that a law banning the sale of M-rated games to minors violates the rights to free expression, which video game companies are granted under the First Amendment. Such reasoning doesn’t make much sense. The law in question does not prevent companies from making violent video games. It only prevents minors from purchasing such video games.

Consider also the way movies are regulated in America. Minors are not allowed to attend R-rated movies without being accompanied by an adult.

The California law, would essentially regulate video games the same way — that is, make it so that minors cannot experience M-rated video games without the permission of an adult. Since video games and movies are both popular forms of entertainment, they should be regulated according to the same basic rules. By the same token, it should be the job of parents to decide what video games their children are allowed to play. The California law only makes it easier for parents to be aware of what their children are doing with their leisure time.

Ultimately, it’s true that most people who play violent video games, regardless of their age, are unaffected by what transpires on screen. They can tell the difference between fantasy and reality, between shooting a pixelated Nazi zombie in “Call of Duty” and shooting a real, live, breathing person. The sad fact of the matter is there are anomalies. There are people who simply cannot tell the difference between the real world and the virtual world, whether that be due to their age or their mental state.

California’s law helps prevent these people from harming themselves or from harming anybody else. The law really leaves the rest of us unaffected. If you’re old enough to want to play something like “Call of Duty,” you’re probably old enough to convincingly explain to your parents that it isn’t going to make you want to buy a gun and go on a rampage.

JANI continued from page 8 relatives questioned me about my religious disciplines, and I had fit right in with my meat-loving friends during school lunch.

So is everyone, ranging from the average person to the president, biologically hardwired to fake it? Dubner points to what scientists refer to as the “signalling theory,” which examines communication between individuals. The central question is when organisms with conflicting interests should be expected to communicate “honestly.” The lone wolf faces a dilemma of sticking to his ideals and fending for himself or compromising with the standards of the wolf pack. According to Miller, faking it is a part of our society — it is a coping method with others.

He says it is not only part of socialization, but a larger part of civilization. Essentially, Miller is saying people fake it because they want other people to like them. We generally want to fit in and assimilate into other cultures, thus we don’t like being the lone wolf.

Middle Eastern peace relies on moderate views Letter CODY GORMAN

T

he letter titled “Ideology poses as scholarship at Brandeis U.,” in Monday’s The Daily Targum is another poorly constructed and illogical smear campaign on support of Palestinians in colleges across the nation. However, the author’s attack on “social justice” campaigns throughout America comes off as decidedly racist in origin.

The letter highlighted Brandeis University’s week to recognize Israeli’s occupation of Palestine, and he argues the recent willingness of today’s youth to partake in “social justice” is either open or thinly veiled anti-Semitism. This position is further highlighted by the title of the Boston University professor’s recent book “Genocidal Liberalism: The University’s Jihad against Israel & Jews.”

This notion, along with the rest of the letter, is entirely absurd. The fact of the matter is that social justice — I do not know why the author uses quotations around this phrase — is a complete necessity.

The indigenous Palestinians are facing systematic discrimination from Israeli expansion; it manifests in settlements of Palestinian land in the name of protectionism, unfair road blocks and search procedures, as

European governments. The plights of the brown people again fall to the wayside.

Finally, the letter’s author contends that since the Palestinian people had no sovereign representation or strong central government, they are better off under Israeli rule. This logic is dangerous and incendiary. This was also the argument given by Southern slave owners in the United States prior to the Civil War, and a similar one was presented by whites in apartheid South Africa. America has fallen victim to this logic often and the fact remains the same: Just because a group of people do not govern their society in the way you do, does not mean they cannot be an effective society.

The ultimate problem is the fact that most people with opinions on the topic readily define themselves in polar terms: proIsrael or pro-Palestinian. True love of a countr y or of a people cannot be painted with a bland brush. Understanding and real conversation about solutions in the Middle East rely on moderate views, not blindly backing the side you’re on.

STEPHAN PASTIS

Today's birthday (11/10/10). The balance of private to social time in your life changes this year. An older partner or associate has intense suggestions. Listen for the high priority items, and let others manage the rest. Remind them that it's just a game. It's more fun if you play. 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 a 6 -- You could obsess over the details of your partner's situation, or instead redirect that energy toward your own to-do list. This gets more accomplished.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) -Today is a 7 -- Sticking to a practical plan presents problems. Others in the group just want to play. Bribe them if you must, to get the job done.

Promise entertainment later.

Gemini (May 21-June 21) -Today is a 7 -- You're nearing the finish line. All the pieces are there before you, and all you need is to put them together and add a glamorous final touch.

Cancer (June 22-July 22) -Today is a 6 -- Someone in your household is over-thinking today's schedule. You may need to just get started before figuring out the finishing touches.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Today is a 6 -- Don't let your impulsive ideas carry you off task.

Instead, harness that imagination to make ordinary processes more fun. Best results show when you focus wit and energy.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -Today is a 7 -- Your self-esteem lies in the balance while you wrestle with an associate's question. The group needs to address the situation, to discover workable choices.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- Today is a 6 -- Questions arise in your work that only you can answer.

Don't depend on others. Use your own imagination to cast light directly on the problem.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -Today is a 6 -- Internal dialogue provides you a different point of logic. Harmony is the goal, and assertive energy is required to achieve it. Imagine freedom.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -Today is a 7 -- An older associate takes some of your work, so that you can spend time with family. Use the time to regroup and rethink a longterm decision. Change is good.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -Today is a 5 -- You may feel anxious about career goals. Pay attention to the mood. You discover that the worry isn't yours.

Help someone else to lighten it.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -Today is a 6 -- Thoughts race as you evaluate new data. You didn't anticipate an important development that could change everything. Assess well before taking action.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) -Today is a 6 -- You may recall a dream about something extremely old. Ancient objects or symbols may reflect the need to research and understand your roots.

And Wagner has yet to fold under the pressure.

“Sometimes you see some things in the practice you like [from freshmen], but then they take a step back and you think, ‘Wow, maybe you don’t know how good they are.’ But [Wagner] wrestles in front of the audience and he wrestles hard,” Goodale said. “He just wrestles.

He wrestles in all three phases, and he’s just going to get better.”

The only true freshman in the team’s star ting lineup, Wagner posted two victories against Sacred Hear t and East Stroudsburg by a combined 24-2 score.

PRACTICE NOTEBOOK

DODD

LIKELY TO START FIFTH -STRAIGHT GAME

BY SAM HELLMAN CORRESPONDENT

Chas Dodd will start against Syracuse. Well, for now.

Head coach Greg Schiano penciled Dodd in for his fifth career start on the depth chart yesterday, but says there is plenty of time between now and kickoff for that to change.

“When there is competition where it is close I kind of wait,” Schiano said yesterday at his weekly press conference. “I am forced

to — I guess by the rules of football — to put out a depth chart.

Yeah, I think Chas will start. I think that is the way we are going to go, but if the week goes differently than I suspect and Tom [Savage] outperforms him it wouldn’t be out of the realm. Again, I make those decisions Thursday into Friday and sometimes even on Saturday.”

Dodd is 2-2 as a starter and comes off a 19-for-22 effort in South Florida, though he has not thrown a touchdown pass since the Army game.

“It is a cumulative body of work,” Schiano said on how he made the decision. “Certainly the games are weighted more heavily than the practices because they count. You are playing against somebody else.

You are playing in a competitive environment, but I think it all is tied together. There is no doubt.”

Savage lost his starting job after leaving the Tulane game with a hand injury and a rib injury, but orchestrated a touchdown drive in the fourth quarter of a long-since decided Pittsburgh loss.

“I think it is eating his guts up — he is a competitor,” Schiano said. “He wants to play. Again, I think he does know that whether I am right or I am wrong in the final decision I make, I most certainly give everybody the opportunity to compete. I always say to the players, ‘I don’t expect you to agree with my decisions.’”

Head football coach Greg Schiano named freshman Chas Dodd the starting quarterback, although that is subject to change.

EXIT: Senior’s leadership carries Knights to Tournament continued from back was a tough sell, but there was never any question the senior duo would buy into it.

“No one knows except us the ups and downs that we’ve gone through over the past four years,” Tchou said. “For them to just tough it out and just trust that things are going to get better ... really resonated throughout the season.”

The Knights rebounded nicely from their initial rough patch –– a span that included four ranked opponents –– to go 5-3 over their next eight games and mark a definitive turning point in the process. Though the team held a 6-10 record with just two conference victories, it looked nothing like the one that started the year.

Offensively, junior for ward Nicole Gentile emerged as the

Knights go-to scorer, tallying a goal in seven of the eight games in the team’s 5-3 span.

The Jamison, Pa., native went on to finish the season as the team’s points and scoring leader, with 23 and 11, respectively.

The forward also earned the Big East Offensive Player of the Week award in late September in the middle of her scoring flurry that went on to include three game-winning goal performances.

Right around the same time, changes occurred on the opposite side of the field.

Freshman goalkeeper Sarah Stuby took over in the cage for sophomore Vicke Lavell on Oct. 3 against Lafayette, snagging her first victory and cementing her role as a starter.

From there, the walk-on went on to post four shutouts down the stretch, and finished the year with a 5-6 record.

The team played its way into position to make the Big East Tournament for the first time

first four games of the season, he had five catches for 70 yards.

In Harrison’s last four games, he has 16 catches for 303 yards and four touchdowns. But the 6foot-3 sophomore receiver said that nothing really changed for him in that timeframe.

“It’s nothing that I’m doing,” Harrison said. “I’m just coming out and trying to work on the little things I messed up on last game and the things I can improve on.”

Harrison started earning playing time in a Rutgers uniform last since 2003 behind its defense, led by junior back Mackenzie Noda and goalkeeper in the cage.

In the team’s opener, it faced off against then-No. 7 Syracuse — the regular season Big East champion. The matchup marked the eighth time the Knights squared off against a ranked foe, and for the eighth time the team suffered defeat, this time to end the season.

But without two players the team may have never gotten that far.

“We definitely expected it to be a rebuilding season,” Noda said. “We lost a lot of seniors last year and the dynamic of the team really changed.

“Not to take away from any of our past seniors’ success, but I think it was a really good move forward in the direction that we really want this program to go to.”

And despite the losing record given the tournament loss, the experience should go a

season when Tim Brown slowed down with leg injuries, but eclipsed his 83 yards and five catches as a true freshman long ago.

“I definitely feel like I’m getting better,” Harrison said. “I’m getting more comfortable each game and I’m just coming out and just approaching it the same way and taking it step-by-step.”

back Joe Martinek netting negative-six yards against South Florida last week and the team failing to exceed 100 yards rushing yet again, Schiano said that it is not time to turn to sophomore De’Antwan Williams, who is “in long way in helping the young goalkeeper’s development, according to Tchou.

“I think that Sarah will probably look back on that and say, ‘Next time I’m going to stop it,’” Tchou said of Stuby’s game against Syracuse in which she allowed four goals. “The fact that she got the experience of being in the Big East [Tournament] is invaluable.”

For the rest of the youth who made an impact this season, that experience should also pay dividends.

Freshman back Laura Rose logged significant minutes for the Knights this season, and made the All-Tournament Big East team for her stifling defensive play –– the first time ever that a Rutgers player has earned that honor.

Also making their marks on the team were freshman forwards Gia Nappi and Lisa Patrone, who posted 15 and eight points for the season, respectively.

the mix,” but has yet to take a significant rep.

“Sometimes it is not as much as what he has to do as what some other guys maybe won’t do or can’t do,” Schiano said.

“The cards are kind of in order right now and there has been nothing to change that order so there is only so many touches.”

The Woodbridge, Va., native totaled 6,909 rushing yards and 83 touchdowns in high school and has 321 career yards on 53 attempts with the Scarlet Knights, though the majority of his rushing attempts are against FCS opponents or in games that were already decided.

And sophomore Carlie Rouh also saw improvements this season, tallying seven points to finish fourth on the team.

For some programs, making the postseason and dropping its first game would be a bit of a setback.

But from two wins two years ago, to eight wins this season as the team transitions into a year in which 10 starters will return, the potential is there for Tchou’s team.

For the upstart Knights, a tournament berth could be the most important thing to take out of the 2010 season.

“It will definitely help them a lot,” said Bull, a First Team AllBig East selection this season. “It sets that bar of where the program is now and going into next year they’re definitely not going to expect anything less than making the tournament.

“I think making the Big East [Tournament] was a big stepping stone for this program.”

LEGRAND RETURNS TO KESSLER INSTITUTE TO BEGIN REHAB

Sophomore defensive tackle Scott Vallone (94) ranks sixth on the Scarlet Knights with 33 tackles, including six for a loss — an area where the squad struggled through its first eight games after leading the nation in tackles for a loss last season.

Knights look to stop streaks against ’Cuse

BY STEVEN MILLER SPORTS EDITOR

Growing up in New York, sophomore defensive tackle Scott Vallone dreamed of a game like Saturday’s FOOTBALL matchup between the Rutgers football team and Syracuse.

Except Vallone was not thinking about being a Scarlet Knight — he was in orange.

“I always talked about [how] that was going to be the school I’d go to,” Vallone said.

“It didn’t work out like that, but I’m very happy where I am now. I know a lot of guys on Syracuse. Their offensive guard, [Andrew] Tiller, is from my hometown, so it will be fun to play against those guys.”

The meeting also presents an important oppor tunity for Vallone and the Knights to stop a pair of streaks: two consecutive losses that put Rutgers’ bowl standing in a precarious spot and four straight games when Rutgers allowed 100yard rushers.

The Knights allowed one 100-yard rusher in the 19 games before the latter streak began, but the reason for the sudden struggles is difficult to pinpoint.

“I think there are a lot of factors,” said head coach Greg Schiano. “I think [fatigue] is one of them. Without Eric [LeGrand] in there, Charlie [Noonan] and Scott have had to play more. We’re going to play Michael Larrow more — we have to do that.”

Paralyzed Rutgers junior Eric LeGrand is out of Saint Barnabas M e d i c a l FOOTBALL Center and back at the Kessler Institute for Rehabilitation.

LeGrand moved to Saint Barnabas Medical Center in Livingston, N.J., Nov. 4 after suf fering from a high fever upon his first arrival at Kessler Institute the day before.

RU takes steps despite early Tourney exit

BY ANTHONY HERNANDEZ CORRESPONDENT

Game by game of the 2010 season, head coach Liz Tchou noticed improvements.

Even with a 1-7 start, Tchou continued to the FIELD HOCKEY acknowledge Rutgers field hockey team still had something more to give, and by season’s end, the team reflected its coach’s beliefs.

“It was competitive. We had a great competitive spirit throughout the season,” Tchou said.

“It was really cool to see the players grow throughout because it was definitely a process.”

Returning from a 2009 season that bore only two victories, the Scarlet Knights stuck to their guns and rallied behind simply working hard in practice to see improvements come game day. It was a modest mentality, but perhaps all the team could turn to given the difficulties of last year and the early struggles it faced this season.

Still, from the very beginning, seniors Jenna Bull and Heather Garces did all they could to make sure the youth-laden Knights would be ready by the time the season rolled around.

Garces returned this season from an injury plagued junior season that included shin surgery, while Bull entered as a twotime Second Team All-Big East selection.

Tchou admitted that the team –– comprised of 12 freshmen and sophomores ––

True freshman impresses in early going

BY A.J. JANKOWSKI ASSOCIATE SPORTS EDITOR

Growing up just down the road from Rutgers in South Plainfield, Mike Wagner always wanted to be a Scarlet Knight.

So when head wrestling coach Scott Goodale asked WRESTLING Wagner if he wanted to join the Knights, his answer was a no-brainer.

“Since I grew up 15 minutes away from Rutgers, I was always at wrestling matches and football games,” the true freshman said. “Since I was young I always wanted to come to Rutgers, so when coach called me I just thought, ‘Well, I might be going to Rutgers.’

“Then I got the of fer to come here and I took it. You’re not saying no to that question.”

Now a member of the Rutgers wrestling team, Wagner has proved that his recruiting was worth the time, posting two wins in the team’s opening duals to earn a spot in the lineup at 197 pounds.

The roster spot that used to be occupied by alumnus Lamar Brown was up for grabs since transfer Dan Hopkins won’t
