McCormick shares expansion ideas at final annual address

BY AMY ROWE ASSOCIATE NEWS EDITOR

University President Richard L. McCormick gave his final annual address to members of the University community Friday at the University Senate’s first meeting of the semester.

In his ninth address, McCormick voiced optimism for the proposed merger of the Robert Wood Johnson Medical School and the University of Medicine and Dentistr y of New Jersey’s School of Public Health with the University along with six other ways to improve the University.

“To gain an outstanding medical school would raise the academic profile and expand the reach of Rutgers more swiftly and permanently than any other change we could make,” he said. “Most important, it would help our state.”

But disgruntled faculty and staff interrupted McCormick several times during the first half of his speech, protesting the two-year salar y freeze that is preventing them from receiving their raises.

“There’s a lot being built and done, but I work hard — everything is going up but my paycheck,”

Ground Zero Memorial planner visits campus

BY ALEKSI TZATZEV CORRESPONDENT

Daniel Libeskind, master planner of the Ground Zero Memorial, and James Young, professor of English and Judaic studies at the University of Massachusetts-Amherst, came together last night to discuss architecture as a civil art in public spaces.

The guests, speaking at Trayes Hall in the Douglass Campus Center, also gave insight to the planning behind some of Libeskind’s biggest projects, including the Ground Zero Memorial and the Jewish Museum Berlin.

“When I entered architecture, I was not interested in imitating buildings in a

kind of a commercial line,” Libeskind said. “Architecture is civic art and deals with public space.”

Libeskind and Young discussed the Ground Zero Memorial as a public space but also emphasized its symbolism behind the falling water and the names engraved on the memorial itself.

“As a master planner, it was not my primary idea to build office buildings,” Libeskind said. “The space was no longer real estate — it is just a sacred space, a space where forever it will be marked.”

Libeskind’s idea was to build office buildings and skyscrapers on the

Biking toward a green alternative to buses, the University’s Green Purchasing and Department of Transpor tation Ser vices launched a bicycle rental pilot program to reduce the number of students on buses and encourage students to spend more time outdoors.

The program, jumpstarted by a $40,000 grant from the Rutgers Energy Institute, allows students to rent one of 150 Jamis threespeed bikes through an online reser vation system from multiple sites throughout the New Brunswick campus star ting today, said Magda Comeau, the University’s Green Purchasing and Procurement manager.

The program will operate electronically through bikes.rutgers.edu and will

allow students to reserve a pick-up time on available bikes, Comeau said. The pickup locations will be ready to supply the renter with a bicycle along with the lock, key, and front and rear lights.

“If we find that we had 20,000 students that were looking for bikes and couldn’t get one because there wasn’t one available, then we need to ramp up our idea of how we think this program should be,” she said.

The bicycles are three-speed so that students can easily ride up hills, and they have coaster breaks, making them easier to maintain, Comeau said.

RU Voting motivates students to gather at polls

BY KINAN TADMORI CONTRIBUTING WRITER

As part of a Constitution Day celebration, voter registration drives were held Friday at each University campus center to mobilize students to participate in the upcoming Nov. 8 state legislature election.

The drives, which brought in nearly 200 new student voters, were the start of RU Voting’s several efforts this fall to get University students registered, said Elizabeth Matto, RU Voting project director.

Harini Kidambi, RU Voting student coordinator, said the current Millennial Generation, which includes individuals from ages 18 to 30, has a unique power through numbers, cultural diversity and a command of social media that no other generation has. “[The Millennial Generation] has the power to really define an election, and thereby truly define politics,” she said.

The project will continue to hold voter registration drives until registration deadline on Oct. 18, Kidambi and Matto said.

RU Voting’s efforts will also include keeping students informed on polling locations and important deadlines via follow-up phone calls and information on their website, Matto said.

“During these off-year elections, turnout is traditionally low,” she said. “What I would remind RU students is that it’s in those elections in particular that voting can make the most impact.”

The group will also be holding events around campus to raise awareness about upcoming elections, such as “Pizza and Politics” and “Popcorn and Politics,” she said. “‘Pizza and Politics’ is meant to allow students to come together to discuss and learn about the importance of the general state House election that will be held on Nov. 8,” said Kidambi, a School of Arts and Sciences senior.

Members of the Eagleton Institute of Politics and political science department faculty will

lead the discussion so students can voice their opinions, she said.

During “Popcorn and Politics,” students are invited to watch a politically themed film with relevancy to current events, Kidambi said.

What RU Voting hopes to stress is that not only do politics matter in students’ lives, but also that students are important to the political process, Matto said.

When talking to students, Matto said they tell her they understand the significance of voting but plan to be politically active later in life when they have a home or family.

“What they don’t know is that the political process affects the tuition they pay, whether they will have a job after graduation and how they will get loans or financial aid,” said Matto, an assistant research professor at the Eagleton Institute of Politics.

Kidambi, who is active in encouraging students to vote, said political actors and decisions made ever yday impact people who are simply living a town or state.

“I would feel like I have done my job if even one student felt the same way after interacting with our organization,” she said.

Matto said another distinct quality of the Millennial Generation is the tendency to be committed to volunteer and civic participation.

“Many opt for volunteering and community service without recognizing that ser vice can come in the form of political participation,” she said.

Kidambi said she believes the reason why many students are not registered to vote is because they have either just turned 18, or in the case of sophomores and

juniors they were not 18 during the 2008 presidential election so they saw no reason to register.

Matto said many first-year students and sophomores are still adjusting to the college life, so registering to vote does not always take top priority.

“It’s unlikely that many students are going to actively pursue this information,” she said. “We are trying to be as out there and as visible as we can.”

RU Voting takes on the job of providing students with the registration and encouragement they need to get involved during every election, not just presidential elections, Matto said.

As a part of the Eagleton Institute of Politics, RU Voting is an entirely nonpartisan organization, Kidambi said.

While some University students are prepared for the upcom-

ing elections, some are not aware of the Nov. 8 state legislature election and are not registered at all.

Jamie Senkewicz, a School of Arts and Sciences junior, is not registered to vote and is not interested in voting at all because she does not think it makes a difference to a politician’s agenda.

“No matter what, whoever gets elected will do things some people like and some people don’t like,” she said. “It’s a matter of who’s a lesser idiot.”

Unlike Senkewicz, Alex Barree, a School of Environmental and Biological Sciences first-year student, is registered and believes in the power of a student’s vote.

“It’s impor tant to vote because you can try to get the representatives you think have the beliefs most similar to yours into office.”

MUSICAL WELCOME

JOVELLE ABBEY TAMAYO / SENIOR STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER

Students perform Saturday at the Cabaret Theatre on Cook/Douglass campus as part of the last showing of “The 2011 Back-to-School Musical Revue,” which began on Sept. 9.

IDEAS: President holds UMDNJ merger as top priority continued from front said Dorothy Broxton, a custodian in the University’s Housing department, who held a sign that read “End the salary freeze!” outside the meeting at the Rutgers Student Center on the College Avenue campus.

Kristen Clarke, the New Brunswick campus’ student representative to the Board of Governors, asked McCormick if he knew what if felt like to stay up all night worrying about paying his mortgage bill during a question-and-answer session following the address.

“Faculty and staff run the University.

Without them, Rutgers would do nothing and be nothing,” said Clarke, a School of Arts and Sciences senior. “You’re screwing people over.”

Members of the senate audience were taken aback by Clarke’s language, and Senate President Paul Panayotatos, an engineering professor, reminded Clarke that she is a senator.

“I’m not going to play nice when you’re playing with people’s lives,” Clarke said.

McCormick expressed his hope to settle the contractual issues this year that are continuing the salar y freeze.

He highlighted six other specific ways the University could advance, including improving students’ academic achievement and graduation rates, increasing funding for research, extending the University’s international reach in countries like China and Saudi Arabia, adding more endowed chairs, expanding campus facilities and increasing private giving.

But McCormick said the top priority this year is the medical school merger because of its timeliness and potential power to elevate the University and the state.

“Rutgers and New Jersey cannot let this moment pass,”

he said. “We are optimistic that the governor’s advisor y committee on medical education … will soon recommend bringing the medical school and the school of public health to Rutgers.”

But to make the merger possible, McCormick said the University must attract highachieving students in the state and beyond.

“Rutgers is doing a better job than ever of retaining our students and seeing them through graduation, but we are only average among the [Association of American Universities’] public universities in freshman

“It is not realistic for Rutgers to expect to have influence and impact everywhere.”

retention and a step below average in our graduation rates,” he said.

Vice President for Enrollment Management Cour tney McAnuf f recommended deeper attention to the first-year academic experience to improve retention rates, McCormick said.

The total enrollment for this year has grown partly because of the University’s retention rates, and the New Brunswick campus is at full capacity, he said. Next fall, the University plans to reduce the size of the entering class by about 4 percent and will likely close the admission process on this campus earlier than usual.

“This will not shrink total enrollment, especially as retention continues to improve, but it will contribute to preventing the further overcrowding that could compromise a Rutgers education,” he said.

To improve research funding, the University will provide more grant-writing support and offer new incentive grants to faculty for up to $25,000 for individuals and $50,000 for joint projects, he said.

McCormick also emphasized that a great state University must have global reach and influence.

“It is not realistic for Rutgers to expect to have influence and impact ever ywhere — no University can do that — but we should concentrate on areas that are globally important and where Rutgers already has programs on which to build,” he said.

McCormick identified Liberia, India, Brazil, Indonesia and China as countries of particular focus for the University to cultivate relationships with.

“Given China’s economic might and influence, Rutgers simply must have a strong and well-developed relationship there,” he said.

McCormick said more state funding is necessar y to improve facilities at the University — a resource he hopes to gain by including a higher education facilities bond issue on the November 2012 ballot.

“There has not been a higher education facilities bond issue in New Jersey since 1988,” he said. “The state’s residents have voted over whelmingly to fund building projects on university campuses through bond issues.

Ever y campus is tr ying to patch leaky ceilings, crumbling buildings and cracked sidewalks. We need help.”

Although this was his last address, McCormick said what happens to the University matters to him.

“Much of my life has been invested in this institution — as a child of Rutgers employees, as a faculty member and as president,” he said. “I firmly believe we can move Rutgers to the top tier of universities and, in so doing, align ourselves even more closely to the needs and aspirations of our state.”

Libeskind mentioned the difficulty of planning and building the Berlin museum because of its inaccessibility to the public.

RUTGERS-CAMDEN CELEBRATES HOUSING FACILITY’S TOPPING OUT As the last beam is placed on top of the construction of a 12-story, 161,653-square-foot building, the Rutgers-Camden community is celebrating the new residence hall’s topping out today at 11 a.m. at the Gateway Plaza.

The $55 million project, located on Cooper Street, is expected to house 350 graduate students in three or four bedroom apartments upon its completion in August 2012, according to a Rutgers-Camden press release.

Wendell Pritchett, Rutgers–Camden chancellor, said the housing facility of 102 units and the 7,000 square feet of real estate for retailers would ser ve the needs of University students and be a testament to Camden’s positive growth.

“This critical mass of students living, studying and working in Camden will be a strong attraction for retail and residential development in the University District and Camden Waterfront sections of our city,” Pritchett said in the press release.

Guest speakers during the topping out ceremony include Rep. Robert Andrews, DN.J., State Sen. Donald Norcross, Camden Mayor Dana Redd, Camden County Freeholder Director Louis Cappelli and

Pritchett, among others, according to the press release.

The speakers, along with attending students, faculty, N.J. educators and city leaders, will have a chance to sign a ceremonial steel beam and watch it being integrated within the building’s framework, according to the release.

Rutgers–Camden enrolled a record 6,300 students during the fall 2010 semester and aims to increase its enrollment to 7,500 students, with about 2,000 students living on or near campus for future years, Pritchett said in the release.

This project is the first of additional student housing on the Rutgers-Camden campus since 1989, with the creation of the Rutgers-Camden Tower, according to the press release. The Rutgers–Camden residential complex currently houses about 520 undergraduate and graduate students, and includes the Rutgers–Camden Apartments.

The Camden County Improvement Authority manages the construction of the residence hall with Rutgers-Camden, which is financing the development.

University and UMDNJ researchers acquired a grant to develop an antidote against radiological and nuclear agents terrorists use.

NIH grant to continue chemical warfare research

BY YASHMIN PATEL CONTRIBUTING WRITER

The National Institute of Health (NIH) gave $23.2 million to the University and the University of Medicine and Dentistr y of New Jersey (UMDNJ)-Rober t Wood Johnson Medical School to continue research for a dr ug to counteract chemical warfare agents.

Researchers at the University and UMDNJ began the program to help protect the country in the aftermath of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, said Jeffrey Laskin, professor of Environmental and Occupational Medicine at the Rober t Wood Johnson Medical School.

Laskin said many people are concerned the United States may be attacked again and it could happen in several different ways.

“We could be attacked by dirty bombs with radiological or nuclear material, biological material like anthrax or something…and chemicals,” he said.

“It’s our job to figure out the chemicals that terrorists might use and tr y to figure out how they work [so we can] overcome them.”

The product of the research that would counteract the chemicals could be in pill, lotion or ointment form, he said.

Laskin said terrorists might use various types of chemicals like chlorine gas or mustard gas, which can get into people’s eyes, skin or lungs. These gases cause a lot of concern for the federal government.

“We want to be able to treat these chemicals. We’re interested in tr ying to figure out [mustard gas], we might direct it in the same way you might treat a type of skin disease,” Laskin said. “We’re not allowed to use mustard gas, it’s restricted by the U.S. government.”

When chemical researchers require the use of mustard gas, they must collaborate with private organizations that are authorized by the government to use the dr ug. Battelle Laboratories in Ohio helps Laskin and his team with this aspect.

The researchers at the University and UMDNJ design experiments, which are conducted at Battelle Laboratories.

From there, samples are sent back to the University and UMDNJ for analysis to figure out the best way to move forward with the drugs and identify how they work, Laskin said.

“We’re hopeful we’ll be able to develop a drug in the next few years,” he said. “It’s a ver y difficult problem to solve but we’re making progress and understanding how [the chemicals] work and coming up with leads to [take] to the Food and Drug Administration.”

Pieces of research have also been taking place at Lehigh University and New York Medical College as par t of a collaborative ef for t, Laskin said.

One student feels the NIH could have spent the grant money on other things.

“The amount of money you use for antidotes and or defense, what you’re going to get out of it is ver y little,” said Fernando Hidalgo, a School of Ar ts and Sciences senior.

“There’s no way you can defend ever ything [with] antidotes, you don’t know what they [will] come up with.”

Another student believes researching chemicals to combat terrorism could be helpful regardless of whether or not there is another terrorist attack.

“I think it’s a great idea. You could never be too safe.

Anything that’s beneficial is not a waste of time,” said Daniel Kanda, a School of Arts and Science sophomore. “If terrorist attacks don’t happen then we’ll still have valuable research, stuf f that people could grow their knowledge base with.”

Although a solution has not yet been found, researchers are optimistic about finding a drug that could protect individuals from chemical warfare agents.

“We’ve had great progress.

We’re ver y optimistic that we can move for wards and identify and pursue new drug leads, and we’re optimistic that we can help this countr y if there’s some incident that comes along in the future,” Laskin said.

Conference brings together hundreds of women across nation

BY ZACH BREGMAN CONTRIBUTING WRITER

More than 400 women across the United States convened on Thursday for the General Federation of Women’s Club’s (GFWC) Middle Atlantic Region Conference. The event, held at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in New Brunswick, spanned the course of four days, ending Sunday afternoon.

The Women’s Club, founded after the United States Civil War, eventually formed the General Federation of Women’s Clubs (GFWC), said Elaine Ko-Talmadge, the GFWC Middle Atlantic Region president. The federation is responsible for creating more than 75 percent of the commu-

nity libraries across the nation.

Carolyn Forbes, president of the Dover Centur y Club in Delaware, said the conference is a great way to allow members of different women’s clubs to mingle and share their experiences. “[This federation] is all about volunteering and helping your community,” Forbes said. “Our signature cause at the moment is concerning domestic abuse.”

The first part of the Middle Atlantic Region Conference included a visit to the gravesite of GFWC’s founder, Jane Cunningham Croly.

The gravesite was rededicated to Croly, whose memory was honored by members of the conference.

Ko-Talmadge asked for attendees of the conference to donate additional money to maintain Croly’s grave for many

years in the future.

GFWC members recently donated $180,000 for an ambulance to be used by the New York Fire Department after the Sept.

11 terrorist attacks, she said.

Conference attendees had the chance to visit the New Jersey Federation of Women’s Club headquarters, located on Douglass campus in New Brunswick.

Other activities included networking with other women, recounting their experiences as members of the Women’s Clubs and engaging in a 45-minute aerobics workout session.

The women’s clubs around the United States continue to address social issues through their programs to battle violence against women and promote human rights, Forbes said.

She said that the women’s clubs

across the country are dedicated to providing funding and supplies to many domestic abuse shelters across the United States.

Forbes suggested that more women should attend these conferences to see the opportunities women have in this countr y.

Ko-Talmadge briefly discussed her experience with the Amsterdam New York Centur y Club 30 years ago when she first joined. She also recounted a few of the accomplishments that GFWC has achieved since she joined. “[We have] star ted new scholarships on a state level, including arts and music scholarships and starting a new junior club chapter in New York City”.

The yearly turnout for the Amsterdam New York Centur y Club at the main conference is

generally around 150 to 200 people, she said.

Other objectives conference organizers hoped to accomplish were greater networking opportunities to further professional and charitable interests, said Jane Pullaro, the Middle Atlantic Region Conference chairman. “[The conference] gives women the oppor tunity to be suppor tive, network and share ideas, [which is a] vital communication link and a way of reaching down to the local clubs as well as of fering an oppor tunity to share club experiences,” Pullaro said.

Pullaro, who has been a member of the Franklin Lakes Women’s Club for 12 years, said she wants to give back to the community for as long as she possibly can.

MIDDLESEX COUNTY RESIDENTS BATTLE MOSQUITO BREEDING IN HURRICANE AFTERMATH While it has been weeks since Hurricane Irene first hit New Jersey, its impact can still be seen in cer tain par ts of the state. The hurricane, which destroyed homes and caused widespread power outages along the coast and inland, is to blame for another major problem — a mosquito outbreak.

Mosquitoes tend to inhabit flooded, moldy areas where it is easiest for them to sur vive, according to an nj.com ar ticle.

Since Hurricane Irene, many N.J. residents are seeing a growing number of mosquitoes populate their backyards and homes.

“Tremendous numbers. It’s really a challenge,” said Deepak Matadha, entomologist for the Middlesex County Mosquito Extermination Commission in the ar ticle.

Matadha said in the ar ticle he’s worried these mosquitoes cannot be exterminated on time and their eggs will continue to hatch well into winter.

“We might see more broods emerging,” he said in the article. “People can’t go outside in their backyards.”

Since this recent mosquito outbreak, numerous Middlesex County residents are making complaints to the county’s Mosquito Extermination Commission.

In the meantime, Matadha said in the article that residents should empty their kiddie pools and birdbaths and use insect repellent any time outside.

Christie must keep public informed

T

his far into his tenure as the leader of New Jersey, Gov. Chris Christie should know that his position is a 24-hour job. There is no rest for a public official of such high status, although Christie seems to think there is. His penchant for traveling out of state without letting his fellow political leaders know where he is going has understandably caused some frustration for said political leaders. In response to this conduct, state Sen. Loretta Weinberg, D-37, proposed a bill which would make it necessary for Christie to make his whereabouts known at all times. Christie, of course, hates the idea: He feels he has a right to keep aspects of his personal schedule private, away from the prying eyes of the press. Unfortunately for him, the minute he became governor is the minute he signed that right away.

Christie should look to the lives of President Barack Obama and his family — or any president in recent times — as an example of how the public and the private became inextricably intertwined once a person reaches a certain level of political power in the United States.

Everyone knows even the minutest details of Obama’s daily existence: Where they vacation, where they eat, what Michelle Obama wore, etc.

We admit it’s probably discomfiting for the Obama family to know they’re watched at all times. But we also realize that, as the citizens which Obama is governing, we have a right to know that he’s hopefully not sunning himself on the beach during times of crisis. Christie may not be as powerful as the president, but he’s high enough on the leadership ladder that citizens and his colleagues have a right to the same information about his lifestyle.

One of Christie’s major counterarguments is that he is always communicating with Lt. Gov. Kim Guadagno when he leaves the state.

That’s all fine and good, but what about the rest of New Jersey’s leaders or the average citizens? Should not they, too, be kept informed about the governor’s whereabouts? We should know whom our leaders are rubbing elbows with. We should know how they spend their time, especially when we need them. We should know what kind of person we authorized to make some of the most important decisions in our lives for us. That may not be an easy existence for Christie, but it is one of the prices of power. If you do not want to be a public servant, you should not run for public office.

‘Buffet Rule’ fosters shared sacrifice D

espite being labeled as a hypocrite by some a few weeks back because of Berkshire Hathaway’s failure to pay its taxes, Warren Buffet’s reputation as a millionaire who loves paying taxes lives on strong in President Barack Obama’s newly proposed “Buffet Rule.” According to talking points obtained by the Huffington Post, the “Buffet Rule” is a simple principle which states, “No household making more than $1 million annually should pay a smaller share of its income in taxes than middle-class families pay.” For the fair-minded, it’s hard to argue against the “Buffet Rule.” It is the most practical manifestation to date of the “shared sacrifice” narrative Democrats and Republicans alike have been espousing since the recession of 2008.

For too long now, the burden of our country’s debt fell on the shoulders of the middle class and the poor, who have seen higher taxes and deflating public services. For a long time, it looked like this was going to continue being the case, despite the loud protestations of people like Buffet and Netflix CEO Reed Hastings, two millionaires who practically publicly begged Obama to raise their taxes in order to help with America’s growing debt. People like Buffet and Hastings were some of the only public figures actually trying to make shared sacrifice a reality, even though it seemed like their efforts were falling on deaf ears.

Which is why it is so great to see that Obama actually took note of such agitation. Under the “Buffet Rule,” millionaires will no longer be taxed at absurdly minuscule rates. Instead, they will finally start helping the middle class and poor shoulder the burden they have been sagging under for so long. The United States is the country that gave these millionaires and billionaires the opportunities to succeed and become rich. It is only fair they start giving back.

We are sure cries of socialism will resound from Obama’s detractors once he brings the “Buffet Rule” to them. However, this is not socialism — it is a request for the rich to do what is right for the country that made them. Too many people are suffering because of American debt. It’s time that suffering end. The rich should be excited to help right our capsizing economic boat. The United States is a democracy, which means that we, the people, are all in this together. A high economic class should not be reason to shirk your responsibility to this country.

“No matter what, whoever gets elected will do things some people like and some people don’t like.”

Texas and Oklahoma are expected to meet tomorrow to discuss their futures. Texas Christian could leave the Big East before it arrives. And Notre Dame continues to be coveted, although it always rejects conference affiliation.

“If you’re asking me if I’m concerned about being shut out, I’m not,” Pernetti said. “I think we have great assets and will continue to be a player in this thing until it comes to some sort of conclusion.”

Pernetti spoke repeatedly about Rutgers’ appeal due to its presence in the New York media market, its academic

standing and the integrity of its athletic program.

He took over as athletic director more than two years ago after ser ving as the executive vice president of content for CBS College Spor ts.

Conference expansion became the leading stor y in college sports shortly after.

“That’s been the case for a long time more than the past 36 hours,” Pernetti said.

Per netti was expected to lead the negotiations of a new Big East television contract for football, but now, he ver y well could lead Rutgers’ way out.

Given the speed with which the landscape changed in the past month, it could happen quickly.

“Quite frankly, this is the kind of stuff you sign up for,” Pernetti said. “We do feel excited about the fact that if things continue to change that we’re going to end up in a ver y good position.”

Junior back Shannon Woeller, who captains the Rutgers defense, could do nothing to stop the Hoyas yesterday, as Georgetown’s offensive onslaught recorded 22 shots and four goals.

SPLIT: Filigno sits against Hoyas after straining Achilles’ continued from back shots.

“Anytime you don’t have your full arsenal, whether it’s Jonelle or whoever it might be, then there’s a chance you won’t be quite as effective,” Crooks said. “But did that make the difference in the match?

I don’t know if I can say that.”

Whether Filigno’s presence could have impacted the game’s

result is not certain, but the Knights’ lack of production offensively could relate to the Mississauga, Canada, native’s absence. Rutgers recorded only six shots — three on goal — and earned two corner kicks in the nation’s capital.

With no timeline set for Filigno’s return and no sure way of gauging the team’s morale, the Knights have no choice but to return to Piscataway and get back to work before continuing their Big East schedule.

Crooks gave plenty of praise to Georgetown for the intensity it

exuded yesterday, and there is no denying it warranted it given the Hoyas’ effort.

But Crooks will look for his own team to accumulate some of that hunger throughout the week, because the Knights cannot afford to let the loss be a setback, he said.

“We’ll be fine for next weekend — that’s what we’re all about,” Crooks said. “We’re not going to let something like this destroy them or get them down because it can’t. There are reasons for everything.”

Senior forward Ibrahim Kamara led the Scarlet Knights with four shots against No. 25 Iona on Friday, but Rutgers left the contest without a goal at Yurcak Field.

FOES: Kamara notches four shots against No. 25 Iona continued from back the 1-0 victory.

“It’s unfortunate, but that’s the game of soccer,” Donigan said.

“Sometimes they bounce your way, sometimes they don’t, and [Friday] they obviously didn’t. We had plenty of chances in the final third, but give credit to Iona. They are a quality team and they played quality soccer.”

Senior forward Ibrahim Kamara, who ended the game with

four shots on goal, led the Knights’ offensive barrage against Iona goalkeeper Borja Barbero.

Kamara had two chances inside the box that Barbero deflected as the final seconds of the game ticked away.

“It is pretty tough, because we actually came up and we spent the whole week getting ready for this weekend, and we really came out prepared,” Kamara said. “We had pretty good chances and it just did not happen for us.”

The Rutgers defense showed promise throughout the matchup, holding the Gales’ talented offense to a 0-0 tie for a majority of the game.

“We did a much better job on defense, and I’ll be honest, we really focused in on that in preparation for this game because we knew Iona had some real talented players going forward,” Donigan said. “I think we bottled them up for a good portion of the game.”

Despite the loss, Donigan sees promise in the Knights’ going toe-for-toe with a nationally ranked opponent.

“I’m happy with the way we played the game and if we continue to play that kind of soccer for the rest of the year, I think the results will come,” Donigan said. “I’ve felt a lot worse after losses before.”

Greene proves natural at linebacker in early going

BY STEVEN MILLER SPORTS EDITOR

When Rutgers head football coach Greg Schiano reviewed the game tape from last weekend’s 24-22 loss FOOTBALL to North Carolina, he saw exactly what he expected out of Khaseem Greene.

The junior linebacker forced a fumble and made 13 tackles, ranging from sideline to sideline and into the backfield, in just his second game at the position.

“It was a new position for him, and I think any time you make a posi-

tion change, no matter how much you practice it … it’s a little different,” Schiano said. “He looked like the guy we anticipated would be at linebacker if we moved him there.”

But even after playing regular snaps the past two seasons at safety, Greene insists the position is not all that new.

The 6-foot-1, 220-pounder played four years of linebacker at Elizabeth High School, then switched to safety for a year of prep school and his first three years at Rutgers.

The transition back began this spring, and for Greene, it was natural.

“My family and ever ybody who roots for me is just saying it looks natural, and that’s where I should have been all along,” Greene said. “It does feel like home. It makes me feel like I’m back in high school. Running free, taking on linemen and running plays down, it feels good.”

But middle linebacker Steve Beauharnais downplays the natural talk.

“He’s a freak,” the junior said.

“He’s going to be a natural anywhere he plays.”

The numbers prove Beauharnais’ point.

Greene finished fourth on the team last season with 77 tackles, leading the Scarlet Knights with three interceptions and forcing four fumbles as a first-year starter.

He came off the bench as Rutgers’ third safety as a redshirt freshman in 2009, when he made 33 tackles, intercepted two passes and made two sacks.

Now playing closer to the line of scrimmage, Greene leads the team with 17 tackles.

“When one individual player has that much talent, you can basically play them anywhere — safety, linebacker, probably

Junior weakside linebacker Khaseem Greene made 13 tackles and forced a fumble against North Carolina to give him the team-lead in takedowns with 17 through the first two games. He finished fourth on the team with 77 tackles last year as a starting safety.

d-end,” Beauharnais said. “It doesn’t matter.”

But for Greene, his experience does.

He played his senior season at Elizabeth under former Penn State linebacker Chet Parlavecchio, who is now a special teams assistant coach with the Tennessee Titans.

“I’ve always had good coaching,” Greene said.

Greene admits he still needs it, despite his comfort at linebacker.

He is fast for his position on the weak side but undersized.

And although he played close to the line of scrimmage at times as a safety, he mostly hung back while fellow safety Joe Lefeged snuck into the box on third downs.

Greene has his instincts at linebacker, but he needs to get better with his hands.

“That’s one thing that most great linebackers … do,” Greene said. “I’m going against linemen who are 315-pounds-plus. Being able to use my hands more efficiently would definitely give me a better chance when it comes to taking on blocks.”

Greene likely made strides during Rutgers’ three bye-week practices after he made what Schiano called “a huge jump” between the Knights’ first two games.

For Greene, the improvement was not a matter of technical changes or increased comfor t at his new position. He spent extra time studying, he said, and plans to take that same approach into each of Rutgers’ 10 remaining games.

“I’ve spent a lot of time in the film room studying my keys to know where the ball is going,” Greene said. “I see my key and I just react. I never second-guess my key.”

And Schiano is not secondguessing his decision.

Shorthanded squad suffers winless weekend

Sophomore Sheridan Taylor recorded double-digit kills in the Scarlet Knights’ shutout loss to Long Island.

Rotating lineups to counter injuries, Rutgers head volleyball coach CJ Werneke worked his eight available players VOLLEYBALL to battle RUTGERS 0 t h e LONG ISLAND 3 adversity.

B u t t h e fourth-year coach’s squad could not come out on top, dropping all three matches this weekend at the Holiday Inn Classic.

Swept by Long Island and No. 5 Penn State, the Knights fought, but they could not capitalize without two key components in freshman Sofi Cucuz and junior Allie Jones.

Igniting a comeback and pushing Long Island to a 34-point set, the Knights showcased resiliency, but fell short in the end.

The sophomore trio of Brittany Bozzini, Sheridan Taylor and Tif fany Regmund each recorded double-digit kills in the loss.

Recognized for her strong play, Bozzini was named to the all-tournament team, joining Taylor, who received the recognition last weekend at the Rutgers Invitational.

“To be a sophomore and be able to compete at this level is great,” Werneke said. “To have our second sophomore have that

— at least it bodes well for the future. I’m excited for both those kids for being recognized and it will give them confidence going into Big East play.”

Losing a bit of confidence this past weekend, the Knights know their inconsistent play must be resolved.

out of the gate and dropped the first set.

The Knights took over in the second and third, controlling the pace and winning, 25-19, and 2521. But a sluggish fourth set let Florida Gulf Coast back in the match, and with momentum on their side, the Eagles stole the fifth set and the match.

“We were a bit inconsistent,” said Werneke. “The games we lost we were down, 8-0, and down 6-0. It’s very difficult at

this level, to work your way out of those holes.”

Losing a hear tbreaker Friday night, the Knights entered Saturday’s match against No. 5 Penn State looking for redemption.

The Nittany Lions showcased their talents, winning in three sets against the Knights.

Jones returned for the highly anticipated match, but left early in the first after reinjuring her shoulder.

“It’s just one of those years,” Werneke said. “To have two more injuries on the weekend, it’s unpredictable. I am proud of the way our team responded, and didn’t use those injuries as excuses.”

Entering Big East play with a team hobbling with injuries, Werneke is excited to see his volatile team’s potential.

“I am proud of the eight or nine that are contributing and doing all they can,” Werneke said. “We’re learning a lot about ourselves and what we’re capable of overcoming, and that’s exciting.”

The Knights begin their Big East slate on Friday, when they travel to Morgantown, W. Va., to battle conference rival West Virgina.

Rutgers follows the match with the Mountaineers with a shor t trip to Pittsburgh on Sunday, when it takes on the Panthers.

Ranked foes shut out RU at Yurcak

AD remains optimistic with BCS changes

The Rutgers men’s soccer team looked to make a name for itself this weekend, when two nationally ranked opponents paid a visit to Yurcak Field.

MEN’S SOCCER But the Scarlet Knights could not INDIANA 2 topple their ranked RUTGERS 0 guests at home, as No. 25 Iona and No. 9 Indiana served Rutgers two consecutive defeats.

The Knights ended their weekend against Indiana yesterday, when the Hoosiers held Rutgers scoreless in a 2-0 victory.

The Knights defense managed Indiana’s highly touted offense for the majority of the first half until Indiana forward Blake Wise broke the scoreless tie with only seven minutes left in the period.

Rutgers exited the locker room shaky to start the second half and did not score, while Indiana notched a security goal in the 51st minute.

“The first half was OK except for that one mistake that led to a good goal, and then in the second half we didn’t even show up.

There was just no energy no attitude to mentality,” said head coach Dan Donigan. “Credit to Indiana, they managed the game well.

They are mature and physically they are strong, and our guys played like little boys in the second half and you can’t do that against teams like that.”

Defender and captain Joe Setchell was disappointed in the way his defense handled the Hoosiers in the second half.

“We knew they would be busy up top. We knew they would have a lot of men moving around the ball,” he said. “We need to learn how to get up for a fight. The first half was OK, but second half we need to become a team and learn how to grind out a win.”

Rutgers had its ranked opponent on its heels for the majority of the game Friday, outshooting Iona, 18-7.

Unfortunately for the Knights, none of their chances found the back of the net, and Iona capitalized late in the second half to take

Junior defender Joe Setchell and the Knights’ back four allowed two goals in the Scarlet Knights’ 2-0 loss yesterday to No. 9 Indiana at Yurcak Field.

Rutgers Athletic Director Tim Pernetti was not surprised Saturday, when Syracuse and Pittsburgh jumped ship for the Atlantic Coast BIG EAST Conference to leave the Big East with six football schools and without two of its most historic basketball programs.

But the conference realignment that created constant shifts across the NCAA landscape for parts of the past two years is dominated by football television deals, and the Big East has very few bargaining chips in that corner.

That leaves Rutgers with three likely options: It could join the ACC, although Pernetti declined to say whether Rutgers already applied.

It could join the Big Ten, where Rutgers had connections last summer before the conference added Nebraska.

Or it could remain in the Big East and pick up the scraps of the Big 12, which competes with the Big East for the fastest collapse.

The latter option seems least likely, especially since West Virginia continues to be connected to the Southeastern Conference, which would crush the Big East.

“So long as you’re in one place, you want to tr y to do what you can do to make it the best it can be,” Pernetti said. “At the same time, given the landscape and how it’s changing, you have to protect the best interests of your institution. Unanimity is the greatest asset any league can have right now, and that’s the one thing that continues to challenge the Big East.”

The ACC raided the conference for the second time since the turn of the centur y this weekend, when it voted to approve Syracuse and Pitt’s move to the conference. Virginia Tech and Miami left the Big East for the ACC in 2004, and Boston College followed a year later.

Knights earn split in Big East-opening weekend

BY ANTHONY HERNANDEZ ASSOCIATE SPORTS EDITOR

Freshman forward Stefanie Scholz notched her first career goal yesterday to give the Knights an early 1-0 lead. Georgetown responded by scoring four straight goals.

Playing split weekends is something every Big East women’s soccer program deals with at least once a season. It just so happened that for Rutgers, the agenda WOMEN’S SOCCER consisted of playing at home Friday and on RUTGERS 1 the road in GEORGETOWN 4 Washington D.C., yesterday to open its conference slate.

But according to head coach Glenn Crooks, that is not where the Scarlet Knights (6-3, 1-1) went wrong in a 4-1 loss to Georgetown.

The Hoyas simply wanted it more.

“Our girls saw that [Georgetown] lost to Seton Hall [on Friday], then we scored the early goal and then does our team think they have it in the bag now? I don’t know,” Crooks said. “I do know the game changed quite a bit at that moment. It was just very, very clear that Georgetown was on a mission.”

The game-changing moment occurred in the game’s 15th minute, when junior forward April Price assisted freshman forward Stefanie Scholz to give the Knights an early 1-0 lead.

The goal not only gave Scholz her first

career score, but it also marked the seventh game this season in which the Knights got on the scoreboard first.

In the six previous games in which Rutgers scored first, it exited victorious.

“I just think it came down to them wanting it a little bit more,” Scholz said. “I got my goal and I think they just came out a little bit harder then.”

After Scholz gave Rutgers the lead, the Hoyas’ unrelenting attack began, as Georgetown recorded 18 of its total 22 shots following the Knights’ only goal. The pressure resulted in four unanswered goals — in the 20th, 54th, 76th and 83rd minutes — and the Hoyas’ first Big East victory of the season.

“It is tough,” said junior back Shannon Woeller, who played all 90 minutes against the Hoyas. “The Big East is such a tough conference, and we need to get used to the physicalness and get used to having to dig down deep.”

To the Knights’ credit, they played without sophomore forward Jonelle Filigno, who injured her Achilles after scoring the first goal in a 2-1 win against Villanova and sat as a precaution yesterday on the road.

Filigno leads Rutgers with six goals on the season and accounts for 34 of the team’s 105
