OIT works on wireless Internet flaws BY ANASTASIA MILLICKER ASSOCIATE NEWS EDITOR

Although RU Wireless_Secure has been available for about a year, the system is still undergoing changes. RU Wireless_Secure is a wireless system that utilizes a secure authentication mechanism known as 802.1X, which protects your user name, password and data with network encr yption, said Brian Luper, project manager of the Office of Information Technology. The staff installed a vendorsupplied update last Wednesday night that will hopefully resolve the connectivity issues for those

using the network, and will continue to update the network to a network that can accommodate more students. “We will be monitoring the system closely and working with the help desk to verify if it has been successful,” he said. Anna Barcy, a School of Arts and Sciences first-year student, said she did not have a problem accessing RU Wireless but when attempting to access RU Wireless_Secure, faced issues with passwords. “I’ve been using the RU Wireless one, not the secure, because of the password protection problem that keeps wanting me to re-enter my password, but

otherwise I haven’t had a problem,” she said. RU Wireless — the system’s predecessor that users can still use — is an authenticated, secured, password-protected network that did not serve particular sites for a certain time, like instant messenger and Facebook, Luper said. “If you are going to an unsecure website outside of the University, it may not be compatible with RU Wireless_Secure,” he said. With RU Wireless_Secure, users avoid having the encryption eliminated, so they do not have to re-enter their passwords and reconfigure their system when they start

Families taste campus life during weekend BY ALEKSI TZATZEV CORRESPONDENT

The Rutgers Parents Association concluded “Parent and Family Weekend” yesterday with its annual brunch outside the Jane Voorhees Zimmerli Art Museum and an address from President Richard L. McCormick. Student Life, which organized most of the weekend for the first time, invited students’ parents and family members to visit University facilities and attend the Rutgers football team’s victory on Saturday over Ohio University. “We had [the program] kind of centered around a football weekend where families could go to the game with their children and experience

With the help of the athletic department, about 3,000 tickets were provided at a discounted rate for parents and family members. Numbers remained around 1,900, during the last three years, while this year more than 2,000 family members attended the game, Campbell said. “We’ve grown a little bit each year,” he said. “Some events may not attract as many people, but football games have always been the biggest draw — no doubt about it.”

With a camera and a week, University sophomore Zack Morrison and juniors David Umansky and Christopher Pasi went “Live” when their five-minute film placed in the top 16 for Campus MovieFest and won “Best Drama” overall. “The shooting of this movie was one of the most exhausting but exhilarating weeks of my life,” Pasi said. “We came up with the idea on the bus and three days later we were shooting the movie.” After winning “Best Drama” for their film “Live,” the trio was invited to the Hollywood International Film Festival for a screening of their short film and the opportunity to create a 3D short — one of the first of its kind, Morrison said. Morrison said one of the best parts of the festival was touring Universal Studios and meeting filmmakers from other colleges. “We met a group of kids from Colorado and the experiences we had with them were a blast,” he said. “It was a lot of fun just to meet students from different cultures with different movie

PROFESSOR DONATES VINTAGE POLISH FILM POSTER COLLECTION Richard Koszarski, a professor in the Department of English, donated a collection of Polish film posters to the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences that his father collected from Poland in the 1960s. His father, an importer, began importing Polish films in the late 1960s, and worked directly with Film Polski to bring the films to Polish neighborhoods in New York and New Jersey, according to the Department of English website. “My family and I would pile some prints in the back of the Buick and drive off to ... screen them for audiences eager for a fresh glimpse of the old country,” Koszarski said. Even after his father retired in 1979 and moved back to Warsaw, he devoted his free time to finding more, eventually acquiring a collection of more than 6,000 posters that open a window into post-World War II Poland, according to the site. “You can read about collections like these in books, but we wanted something to be here,” Koszarski said. “Something people in the U.S. could see.” — Kristine Rosette Enerio

Alumnus discusses race in politics at Eagleton BY JODI-ANN RANKINE CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Kenneth Walsh, a University alumnus and chief White House correspondent for US News and World Report, returned to campus last Thursday to reveal his findings about African Americans’ relations in politics. At the Eagleton Institute of Politics on Douglass campus, Walsh focused on the timeline of progression African Americans made from the early 1700s to present day through his book, “Family of Freedom: Presidents and African Americans in the White House.” “During the history of African Americans and presidents in recent times, stories are more uplifting to see how far we have come since most of the history regarding race is unsettling,” Walsh said. The alumnus said he was compelled to write his book because of the historical moment for the United States when the first African American president, Barack Obama, was elected. After interviewing Obama on several occasions, Walsh said he decided to research the capacity of change among African Americans in the White House. “African Americans helped to build the White House itself, then they became close to presidents, and some were confidants to presidents,” he said. Walsh compared the attitudes toward African Americans during slavery to the demeanor once African-American advisers and politicians began to lead our country in later times. “America has a sad early time in terms of race relations,” Walsh said. “However, the attitudes toward African Americans regarding their position in the White House has changed throughout the years.” He said during former President Abraham Lincoln’s term, Lincoln confided in African Americans to understand the perspectives of everyday people. Intertwined relationships among different races were formed as African Americans became socially acquainted with presidents in the White House, Walsh said. For instance, Lincoln invited abolitionists Sojourner Truth and Frederick Douglass to the White

House, former President Theodore Roosevelt invited Booker T. Washington to dinner and former President John F. Kennedy developed a close relationship with his valet, while admiring the strength and courage of civil rights protestors, he said. “Theodore Roosevelt believed that people should be treated based on their merits and achievements, not by their race,” Walsh said. African Americans such as Colin Powell, 65th United States Secretary of State, and Condoleezza Rice, 66th United Sates Secretary of State, who served under the George W. Bush administration, are examples of diversity that have emerged in the White House, he said. “Many presidents were forming a relation with African Americans. [Former President] Bill Clinton would attend a predominantly black church, and he understood the importance of church in the black community,” he said. “In fact, AfricanAmerican writer Toni Morrison refers to Clinton as the first black president.” Walsh said he sees diversity in the White House becoming more transparent through First Lady Michelle Obama’s efforts. Michelle Obama allows the public, including children, to visit and share access to the government by viewing the White House, he said. Walsh said diversity is not only occurring in the White House, but also at the University. “Rutgers University was not diverse until much later,” he said. Ruth Mandel, director of the Eagleton Institute of Politics, conducted the event and said there are benefits to an alumnus visiting the University and sharing their knowledge with students. “We hope that [students] end up doing what Kenneth Walsh does, and that is doing what [they] love,” she said. After a question-and answersession, Walsh conducted a book signing where faculty members and students were able to speak with him. “The event was informative, as he brought us into the lives of all the Presidents and his breath of knowledge was fascinating” said Thomas Simons, a University alumnus.

Award-winning society inducts students BY JULIAN MODESTO CONTRIBUTING WRITER

The University’s chapter of the National Society of Collegiate Scholars (NSCS) held its annual New Member Induction Convocation Ceremony Sunday at the Livingston Student Center. Members of the University’s NSCS chapter, an honors organization for qualified first and second-year students, paid tribute to their adviser Dean Karen Dentler, who will no longer serve as the adviser following this year. “Dean Dentler is always there to help us and we can always stop by her office, no matter if she’s busy,” said Jill Colban, the organization’s executive chapter president. Colban, a School of Arts and Sciences senior, spoke of her experience with the organization. She initially joined three years ago solely to list it on her resume, but now calls it one of the most rewarding aspects of her college career. “Now that I’ve been involved in the organization, I’ve found it so much more fulfilling,” she said Colban discussed the organization’s histor y and the three pillars it swears by — scholarship, leadership and ser vice. She also said another major quality she and others look for in potential members waiting to be inducted is integrity. NSCS has worked with Career Ser vices in the past and per formed community ser vice by par ticipating in initiatives

including Elijah’s Promise, Planning to Achieve Collegiate Excellence (PACE) and the Inter national Friendship Program (IFP), Dentler said. “This is a ver y student-run organization. I provide guidance and balance ideas,“ she said. “The executive board does a great job and gets ideas from other chapters and other schools.” Ashley Hogan, secretary of public relations for the University’s chapter of NSCS, agreed with

“Now that I’ve been involved in the organization, I’ve found it so much more fulfilling.” JILL COLBAN National Society of Collegiate Scholars Executive Chapter President

Dentler about the club’s emphasis on community service. NSCS is an honors society centered on community service, said Hogan, a School of Arts and Sciences junior. The event also featured Matt Matsuda, dean of the College Avenue campus and a professor of Histor y, who ser ved as the keynote speaker. Another chunk of the ceremony was dedicated to students who described their road to success prior to joining the organization.

Students like Yang Wang, the chapter’s executive vice president, spoke not only about their in-school extracurricular activities, but also about their work outside the University. Wang, a School of Engineering senior, highlighted the importance of student involvement and encouraged other students to involve themselves in a myriad of activities for self-fulfillment. He noted his collaboration with Rutgers Against Hunger when he collected nonperishable food items for this event. All the speakers, including Dentler and members of the executive board, encouraged members to think about the gold STAR award they won as motivation to continue the good work in the future. The national level of the NSCS awarded the chapter the 2011 Gold Star Award this past summer at the NSCS Convention in San Juan, Puerto Rico in recognition of its success. Dentler called the award a well-deser ved formal recognition of all the work done by the University’s chapter of NSCS. The chapter received a silver STAR the summer before, so she believes this award is a step in the right direction. There is no nomination for the award, she said. The requirements to achieve the gold status require NSCS branches across the nation to have an induction ceremony, hold campus events to suppor t the NSCS goals and do a good job recruiting.

INVESTIGATORS GATHER MORE EVIDENCE IN DELOATCH CASE Middlesex County Prosecutor Bruce Kaplan launched an extensive investigation to determine what exactly happened last Thursday when 47year-old Barr y Deloatch was shot during a foot chase with two New Brunswick police officers. Deloatch died at 12:37 a.m. at Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital from a single bullet wound that entered his left side and struck his aorta at 12:12 a.m., according to a statement from the prosecutor’s office. Kaplan said in the statement that the two officers involved in the incident, one an officer who has been with the department for two-and-a-half years and the other for more than six years, were placed on administrative leave pending the investigation’s outcome. The investigation showed so far that the two officers, who were on routine patrol, questioned

three men, including Deloatch who fled. They followed him into an alley, where a struggle led to the shooting. In the initial investigation, Deloatch was found without a firearm. But the investigation is trying to determine if he was in possession of another weapon and whether he used it against the officers. A police radio transmission from the time of the incident features a man saying, “The suspect was attempting to hit us with a wooden stick,” according to nj.com. The investigators collected evidence from the scene of the shooting, with which they will conduct a forensic analysis. They also interviewed more than 12 people to help gather details of the shooting. The prosecutor’s office will not disclose facts and evidence during the active investigation.

University junior Christopher Pasi, left, and sophomore Zack Morrison work with junior David Umansky to film the movie “Live.”

FILM: Pasi’s floor mates lend support as extras in ‘Live’ continued from front The festival received 366 shor t films during the inter national festival, said University Professor Alber t Nigrin, executive director and curator of the Rutgers Film Co-Op and New Jersey Media Ar ts Center. “The films are watched by a jur y that is made of academics like myself, journalists, former winners and other filmmakers,” he said. “The judges are told that they should look at N.J. work with a special eye because we are here to support N.J. filmmakers.” Out of the entries, “Live” reached the final 40, Nigrin said. “Most of the films we get are by emerging or established ar tists who are no longer students, and most of the films we get are either shorts or documentaries,” he said. “The judges just see the film and judge it for what it is, so that is a great accomplishment.” While “Live” is a short film, it does not fit into any of the other categories that most submissions do, Nigrin said. “I think the charm of the film was the fact that it was a silent

film, and you don’t see that much these days. It functions a lot like the old Charlie Chaplin movies from the 1920s, because there is no dialogue,” he said. Nigrin said the film leads viewers in a suspenseful way that represents college life in an interesting manner by focusing on a student overcoming his discouraging father and establishing friendships. “The student categories are dif ferent from the others in that we recognize that they may not have the money to make this big production like some of the other films we have,” he said. “But if they’re interesting, and unique and creative, that usually bumps them into the final.” The film was screened second on Friday at the New Jersey Film Festival in Voorhees Hall on the College Avenue campus. Pasi said it was great seeing his movie on screen especially with the suppor t from neighbors in his residence hall. He used his floor mates in the RU-TV Broadcast Communications Living Learning Community as extras. “It’s one of my passions and I love the fact that these students dropped what they were doing to just come and shoot this movie with us,” Pasi said.

McCormick questions about U. continued from front He said the football games are popular because it might be the only chance parents have to attend a game at their child’s school. A wide array of activities were available on all campuses Friday and Saturday, including a welcome dinner at the Livingston Dining Commons, breakfast at the Scarlet Latte Café, open hours at the Zimmerli and an international food and culture festival. “We had a great international culture festival [on Saturday night] where we had international food and performances by African dancers, drummers, all sorts of cultures,” said Tony Doody, director of Programs and Leadership in Student Life. “There was a really great turnout.” The parent-oriented weekend of previous years compared with the more family-friendly events this year was a significant change. “We had focused more on parents, while this year we tried to create events more engaging to more generations, meaning not just students, not just parents, but also children and other family members,” Doody said. “We’ve tried to create in people the sense of pride the rest of us have.” The Zimmerli played an integral role over the weekend as it hosted events on all three days, including free tours. The brunch, largely hosted by the Rutgers Parents Association yesterday, was one of the last events where parents could talk to

Ranking officers at the prosecutor’s office are keeping the Deloatch family informed about the investigation’s progress. “It is in the intention of the Middlesex County Prosecutor’s Of fice to conduct a comprehensive, thorough and unbiased investigation into this incident, and all resources of the office are being fully utilized to bring this case to a just conclusion,” Kaplan said in the statement. There is no timetable for the investigation’s completion. Another protest held in front of City Hall on Friday had Deloatch’s friends and family convening again to stress his innocence in the shooting, according to nj.com. — Amy Rowe

less, which is really annoying.” Cardona said she was upset that the wireless connection is limited and was disappointed the computer fee on the term bill does not seem to cover the system in residence halls. “We pay to live in a wireless apartment, so why pay for something I can’t really use,” she said. All residence halls have a wireless system, but not all areas of the residence halls have the ability to connect wirelessly and some rooms in particular may need to utilize Ethernet cords, Luper said. “The system connects to hot spots throughout the dorm such as lobbies and study lounges,” he said. “We are working with housing over the next two to three years to have wireless in all dorm rooms.” To connect to RU Wireless, a user’s computer needs an 802.11b, 802.11g or 802.11a wireless network adapter and a Web browser to log into the network, Luper said.

Certain devices cannot support the secure network like certain cellphones and Blackberrys, he said. But the secure system can support Microsoft Windows, Windows Vista 7, Mac OS X Lion, Mac OS X Snow Leopard, Leopard and Tiger, Ubuntu, Apple iPod, iPad and iPod Touch, and Android versions 2.1 and newer devices. A station and a staff working in the Hill Center on Busch campus coordinate access distribution, he said. Areas with RU Wireless or RU Wireless_Secure can be located throughout campus and are constantly being expanded, he said. The RU Wireless group in New Brunswick receives funding through a combination of ICI, ELF and RUCS grants and funding. “Buildings often fund their own building’s wireless,” he said. “We receive a small portion from student fees, but if a department wants RU Wireless, they sign a contract and pay for their department’s.”

members of the association and Student Life. Families took note of the opportunity to visit the museum and Geology Hall. “It’s really interesting, because I didn’t realize the variety the University had to offer,” said Brendan Sammon, father of Laura Sammon, a School of Arts and Sciences first-year student. “I don’t think our daughter realized it either.” Another parent said she was excited about visiting the art museum because it had one of the best art collections in the state, with around 60,000 works. “We came as a family, mother, father and brother,” Mar y Lu Wason, mother of Jordon Wason, a School of Arts and Sciences first-year student. “The brunch was very nice and quiet — it was very pleasant, and later we will visit the Zimmerli.” Brian MacDonald, associate director of Student Life, said this year’s events also tried to help struggling first-year students in their first weeks at the University. “This time of the semester, especially for first-year students, might be a little off and right now is the time when staff can jump in and help,” he said. “This is a chance to connect to the parents and get them the resources to help out their sons or daughters.” At the closing event of the weekend in Scott Hall on the College Avenue campus, parents had the opportunity to hear from Lee Schneider, executive director of the Rutgers Parents Association, Suzanne Delehanty, director of the Zimmerli and University President Richard L. McCormick.

The turnout was lower compared to other events of the weekend, with about 50 people, mostly parents, showing up. McCormick hailed the University as constantly developing in a competitive educational world and as one with some of the best faculty and students in the nation. He also said the University needs to attract out-of-state students. “We make sure that every student receives the counseling and advising he or she needs, and in particular first-year students,” he said. “In addition, we want our already-outstanding student body to become even more geographically diverse.” Parents had time to ask questions and many did regarding budget talks, the merger between the University and University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey and the acceptance rates in the coming years. “What share of the University’s budget comes from the state of New Jersey through subsidy?” asked Ejeviome Eloho Otobo, father of Ejiro Otobo, a School of Engineering first-year student. Following McCormick’s speech, Otobo said McCormick answered his questions clearly, and he was glad his daughter chose the University over other top schools. “I was satisfied by the answers. It provided assurance in the sense that the president reassured us that the University is providing high quality education,” he said. Other events preceding the final speeches included tours of Geology Hall, along with tours of Rutgers Gardens and the Institute of Marine and Coastal Sciences, at the start of the weekend.

Covered Girl Clothing, located on 235 Raritan Ave., is one of Highland Park’s latest specialized apparel stores. The one-month-old shop is designed to help Orthodox Jewish and Muslim women, as well as other women who want to dress modestly, find conservative clothing tailored to their religious or personal needs.

Clothing store caters to Orthodox Jewish, Muslim women BY HENNA KATHIYA STAFF WRITER

For conser vative dressers str uggling to find suitable clothing at mainstream stores, Covered Girl Clothing, at 235 Raritan Avenue, in Highland Park, N.J., specializes in providing clothing tailored to Orthodox Jewish women and others who choose to dress more modestly. Sharon Garber, the owner of the store, wanted to provide a place in the community where women and girls of all ages could find clothing to suit the needs of their religious views. “I’ve lived in Highland Park for a while, and I’ve known that people have had to travel all the way to Lakewood or Brooklyn in order to find stores that sold modest clothing,” she said. “Traveling all the way there wastes time, gas and money.” Garber said she was motivated to open the store because

there were not enough conservative clothing places to shop at in Highland Park. “I felt that the Jewish Orthodox community has been growing and that there needed to be a place that catered to that niche group … as well as any Muslim women or anyone that wanted to dress modestly for that matter,” she said. Orthodox Judaism requires women to dress in clothing that covers all body parts except for the face and hands, Garber said. There are some dif ferences in modern Orthodox and ultra-Orthodox Jewish women. But neither modern-day Or thodox Jewish women nor ultra-Orthodox women believe in exposing their body par ts besides their face and hands, she said. Modern or thodox Jewish women sometimes might expose the bottom part of their legs. “I’ve been asking customers what they’ve been looking for, and I’ve been bringing in

things, like children’s clothes and smaller sizes,” Garber said. “I’m tr ying to adapt to what the community needs and bring it in, so it’s a win-win for me and the customer.”

“Women these days do not have time to travel to Lakewood or Brooklyn, so it’s great having a place so close by.” MARA MARGOLIN Highland Park Resident

Garber emphasized that her store is community-based. She said she enjoys seeing her customers chat with one another as well as with the staf f because it creates a friendly atmosphere that she hopes her customers will appreciate.

The Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital collaborated with Safe Kids Middlesex County to host a free car seat check up on Saturday at the Brunswick Towne Center. Professionals from Safe Kids Middlesex County inspected car booster seats and seat belts.

Mara Margolin, a resident of Highland Park and a regular customer, spoke about the convenience of having a store located close to home. “I was here three separate times the first day it opened,” she said. “I’ve lived here for 18 years, and I know that women these days do not have time to travel to Lakewood or Brooklyn, so it’s great having a place so close by.” Margolin, an Orthodox Jew, believes the location could not have been better as Covered Girl Clothing is surrounded by numerous other eateries. “You got your pizza and Chinese food right here, so you eat your pizza and then get your clothes, or rather you tr y on your dress first and then eat your pizza,” she said. Margolin even invited her sister from out of town to come shop at the store. “She has a nice selection of different styles, a wide range of

age ranges and decent prices of modest clothing,” she said. “The clothing [my sister] Sharon has is also ver y trendy, so it is easy to find clothes for younger people as well.” Sana Naoreen, a Muslim resident who has lived in Highland Park for the past seven years, called Garber’s business a useful and convenient option for her. “As a Muslim woman, I think it’s great that someone in the community saw the need for a store and opened one up,” she said. “This is definitely a place I will shop at more often now.” While the store is only four weeks old, Garber has high hopes for the future of the business. “We’re ver y new, so right now I’m just hoping to get my name out there and build a steady base of regular customers that will help my business grow,” she said.

STATE SENATE LOOKS TO INCREASE LIMITS FOR DOMESTIC OFFENDERS TRENTON, N.J. — Legislation that would impose more stringent bail restrictions on those charged with violating domestic violence-related restraining orders in New Jersey will go before the state Senate this week. Proponents say the measure, which cleared the Assembly last fall, would provide more protection for victims by making it harder for suspects to post bail and make offenders more accountable for their actions. It would bar those accused of violating such orders from having the option to post 10 percent of their bail to gain their release. Instead, they would have to post the full amount or have a bail bond secured by real property equal to the bail amount plus $20,000. Under current law, suspects can gain freedom by paying as little as $50, giving them little incentive to appear in court, critics note. “Given the emotional and physical trauma that [domestic violence] victims have already been subjected to, they should be able to receive some measure of comfort knowing our laws do everything possible to protect their safety in the future,” said Assemblywoman Celeste Riley, D-Bridgeton, one of the bill’s primary sponsors in that chamber. Proponents also cite statistics that show domestic violence is a growing global problem. They want to make residents more aware of the issue and help ensure that victims know help is available. An estimated 1.3 million women in the United States are victims of physical assault by a partner each year, according to the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence. And it’s estimated that one in every four women will experience domestic violence in her lifetime. The senate’s Judiciar y Committee approved the bill Monday. And if it’s passed by the full Senate this Monday, it will head to Gov. Chris Christie’s desk for his consideration. But it’s not clear when or whether Christie would act on the bill. The measure would first have to be reviewed by his office, and the governor himself has not publicly addressed the matter. The measure is sponsored in the senate by Democrats Loretta Weinberg of Bergen County and Linda Greenstein of Mercer County. Besides Riley, other primary sponsors in the Assembly were Democrats Cleopatra Tucker of Newark, Joan Voss of Fort Lee, Ralph Caputo of Belleville and Gordon Johnson of Englewood. — The Associated Press

Jeffery Jones, Paterson mayor, agreed to return more than $20,000 in overtime pay he and three of his aides received for working during Hurricane Irene in response to public outcry. Jones is the mayor of New Jersey’s third-largest city, and is given a salary of $119,000 a year.

NJ mayor, aides to return overtime pay THE ASSOCIATED PRESS PATERSON, N.J. — Amid a public outcr y, the mayor of a flood-ravaged New Jersey city and three of his salaried aides agreed to return more than $20,000 in overtime pay they received for working during Hurricane Irene. Paterson Mayor Jef fer y Jones, who received a $6,144 check, and his three aides, agreed to give back the money after published reports in The Record on Friday drew criticism from Washington to northern New Jersey. Jones told the newspaper he plans to review the legitimacy of the payouts — but he left open the possibility that the city might reissue the checks if the Federal Emergency Management Agency approves them. Under FEMA rules, the city is eligible for reimbursement of 75 percent of its overtime costs incurred in response to the flood. “Right now, you start from zero, make sure you retrace your

steps and make sure your decisions make sense,” Jones said. Jones, the mayor of New Jersey’s third-largest city, receives a salary of $119,000 a year. He usually doesn’t receive overtime pay, and neither do his three salaried aides who also got checks for their work as a “first responder.” The mayor said the amount he received was determined by the city’s Office of Emergency Management and, like the 600 other overtime checks the city made out to employees for work during the weather emergency, is supposed to be reimbursed by FEMA. Agency spokesman Greg Hughes said FEMA reimburses overtime pay for public workers who earn a salar y, but only if the benefit is authorized by the employment contract. “If a contract spells out that in emergency situations they are paid overtime, they are reimbursed,” Hughes said. “If there is not language in the contract, then no.” Neither Paterson nor any other New Jersey municipality has received any aid from the

agency so far. More than 100 people in Paterson had to be rescued from their homes in the wake of Irene, many in inflatable boats. The city was evacuated as the Passaic River crested at 14 feet, twice its flood stage. For the state as a whole, more than 900,000 lost power and thousands of homes were damaged by flooding. Seven people died. While the mayor said he had questions about the payments, Councilman Kenneth Morris Jr., who is chairman of the finance committee, has only doubts. He said salaried employees could get extra time off — but not extra money. “The nature of the position is leadership,” he said, “and it sometimes requires an individual to act beyond their normal scope of work and put in additional hours.” He said the City Council wasn’t asked to approve the payments. U.S. Rep. Bill Pascrell Jr., a Democrat from Paterson, also blasted the overtime. “This is exactly what we don’t need. We don’t need any

shenanigans,” said Pascrell, noting a par tisan clash in Washington over a federal disaster aid package. “This is what gives the impression that FEMA is a gravy train. I can’t believe that some clerk at City Hall in Paterson couldn’t discern who is a first responder and who is not. The job of mayor is 24/7. You don’t get overtime.” Paterson has submitted a $21 million damage claim to FEMA in the aftermath of Hurricane Irene and the remnants of Tropical Storm Lee, which produced back-to-back floods, according to The Record. Jones also attracted public attention last week. At a Washington news conference to urge the U.S. Senate to adopt a $6.9 billion disaster relief bill, he said he understands why people are frustrated with par tisan bickering and that it “kind of explains, at least to me, why those who lay claim to terrorism in these United States feel that they can.” He later apologized and blamed fatigue for the gaffe.

Act with caution when hosting parties

raternities and throwers of house parties at the University should take note of last Thursday’s raid on the Tau Kappa Epsilon (TKE) fraternity at Rowan University. The raid, conducted by Glassboro police in conjunction with Rowan University public safety, resulted in more than 100 arrests on various charges, which ranged from obstruction of justice to selling alcohol without a license to providing alcohol to minors. Our own University has a pretty welldocumented party culture, and, for the most part, one could conceivably argue that it is relatively harmless. But it’s important to remember that the keyword there is “relatively.” What happened at Rowan last week can and should serve as a reminder — not just to fraternities, but everyone who hosts parties on or off campus — that parties are only harmless as long as certain lines are not crossed. If they are, then serious problems can arise. First-year students are probably the most at-risk when it comes to party dangers. Because they are underage, they should not be drinking in the first place. They do not have regular access to alcohol, so when they come to the party scene for the first time, they usually do not know how to consume alcohol safely and responsibly. This can lead to serious consequences, alcohol poisoning and terrible decisions foremost among them. Older students at the University, especially those who host parties, need to be aware of this. It is not just a matter of keeping yourself on the right side of the law by not providing alcohol to minors. More importantly, it is an issue of keeping your fellow students safe. Even to the initiated, parties can pose dangers. We must assert that we do not believe the conduct of TKE at Rowan is in any way indicative of the conduct of fraternities in general. Such a claim would be foolish and baseless. Rather, we feel the need to bring this information to the attention of the student body precisely because it is a real problem that affects everyone. If you are hosting a party, make sure safety is a top priority. If you find yourself at a party where the hosts are making questionable decisions, try to make the right decision and look after the more vulnerable students among you. You may not be the one providing them with alcohol, but you could be the one to make sure they get home safe and sound.

Bake sale misjudges Affirmative Action

enerally speaking, bake sales are the most innocuous of campus events. We leave the divisive politics for rallies, marches and sit-ins, because, as far as issues go, cupcakes are pretty cut and dry. But they say there’s a first time for everything, so maybe it shouldn’t come as a surprise that someone finally found a way to marry cookies and controversy. In an effort to protest California Senate Bills 185 and 387, which lean heavily in the direction of Affirmative Action, the U.C. Berkeley College Republicans are planning to hold an Increase Diversity Bake Sale. The bake sale is supposed to demonstrate what the College Republicans see as the absurdity of Affirmative Action by operating on a sliding price scale, which changes according to the gender, race, and ethnicity of the buyer. For example, a white man will pay $2 for an item, whereas a black man would pay 75 cents, and so on. Unfortunately for the College Republicans, this bake sale plan does not bolster their argument against Affirmative Action. All it actually does is highlight some critical failures in their understanding of what Affirmative Action seeks to accomplish. One of the most common criticisms raised of Affirmative Action by its opponents is that it is a system whereby unqualified applicants receive employment, admission or some other benefit simply because they are minorities or women. The extension of this narrative is that qualified white men everywhere are losing out on the opportunities they deserve. The deck is supposedly stacked against them. It’s clear from the Increase Diversity Bake Sale that the U.C. Berkeley College Republicans subscribe to this belief. However, this picture of Affirmative Action is highly inaccurate. Affirmative Action is not some sort of ideological Robin Hood, stealing opportunities from white men and giving them out to everyone else. Instead, it creates opportunities for traditionally oppressed or underrepresented groups. It’s a means by which the playing field is leveled, not shifted in the opposite direction. Also, Affirmative Action does not open the door for unqualified candidates: No matter the gender, race or ethnicity of a person, they still need to be qualified for whatever position or program to which they are applying. The picture that people like the U.C. Berkeley College Republicans paint of Affirmative Action is purely alarmist, grounded in hysterical myth and, sometimes, blatant racism. We don’t know if the organizers of the bake sale in question were trying actively to be racist, but the fact remains that they certainly come off that way.

Embargo on Cuba hinders American progress Letter HIRA BAKSHI

revent an oil disaster or contain communism? This is a question every American should be asking their lawmakers. A 53,000 ton, Chinese-built, Italian-owned oil rig will soon be making its way to Cuban waters, just 60 miles from the Florida Keys. Potentially, the region may contain anywhere between 5 billion and 20 billion gallons of oil. So, unsurprisingly, there was a global scramble to reap the benefits of this oil hotspot: Spain’s Repsol, Norway’s Statoil, India’s ONGC, and petro giants from Venezuela, Brazil, Malaysia and

Vietnam are swooping in to explore for oil. As domestic drilling advocates watch global oil giants prepare to profit from the rig come this November, they immediately blame President Barack Obama’s administration for banning offshore drilling. However, because of the United States’ trade embargo on Cuba, partaking in this oil extravaganza is impossible even without the ban. Besides, there is a bigger problem other than a missed economic opportunity. Remember the BP oil spill? For those who live on or near the Florida coast and for those whose businesses and health were affected by the gulf disaster, this

new rig has a greater significance than the United States’ inaccessibility to lucrative trade. The dated Cold War trade embargo on Cuba not only prevents the United

“While the embargo remains in effect ... we will watch other nations endanger our coastline.” States from doing business with Cuba, but it also bars U.S. officials from sending equipment and expertise to help even in the

event of a crisis. Any equipment used in dealing with oil disasters would have to come from another country. If another disastrous oil spill were to occur, the United States would have to helplessly stand back and watch the oil ominously make its way to the Florida coastline. I realize this is the worst-case scenario, but it is one against which we can easily defend ourselves just by relieving the limits on our trade with Cuba. It is important to recall why the trade embargo was enacted all those 52 years ago. First and foremost, the United States wanted to stop the spread of communism. This isn’t a relevant threat today; there isn’t a single rational

person who believes the United States is susceptible to Cuban communism. Secondly, we wanted regime change in Cuba, but the Castros are still in power today, fueling Cuban nationalism by blaming their economic problems on American aggression. In any case, regime change will be even less likely when Cuba profits from the rig. While the embargo remains in effect, impoverished Cubans will become poorer, and we will watch other nations endanger our coastline. But at least communism will be contained. Hira Bakshi is a School of Arts and Sciences first-year student.

U. should laud Naval Academy before game Letter MICHAEL CALLAHAN

am a 1985 graduate of Rutgers College, a football season ticket holder, and, for what it may be worth, a former staff writer for The Daily Targum. I am writing with a compliment to the student body and a request. At the football game against Ohio on Sept. 24, U.S. Army Lt. John Conte participated in the coin toss. For those who were not there, Conte is a Rutgers ROTC graduate who was wounded in Afghanistan. The entire crowd in

attendance — less those who would straggle in during the first quarter — led by the student body, gave him a standing ovation. It was spontaneous, and it was perfect. Now the request. The midshipmen of the U.S. Naval Academy will visit High Point Solutions Stadium in a few weeks. What seems like the majority of fans in attendance at University football games have developed what I consider an unpleasant habit of reflexively booing the opposing team as they take the field before kickoff. Let’s resolve not to do that,

Daily review: laurels and darts

t is tough for anyone to find a job in the current economic climate, but it is even tougher than normal for veterans who, upon returning from war, face challenges assimilating back to normal life. That’s why The New Jersey State Building & Construction Trades Council’s Helmets to Hardhats (NJ H2H) is such a great idea: The program helps place veterans of war into positions in the construction industry in order to give them a smoother transition back into the society they served. The state gave $195,000 to the NJ H2H program last Thursday, and for that they receive a laurel — as does NJ H2H itself. Our veterans deserve the aid and respect our state can give them. *

A lot of people make jokes about New Jersey being a dirty place, and our state’s faulty sewer systems are not helping us make a case against that reputation. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, there are more than 200 spots in New Jersey where old, dilapidated sewer systems are pouring raw sewage into our water at an aggregate rate of 23 billion gallons per year. While the state’s Department of Environmental Protection claims it is working to revise environmental safety codes in order to prevent things like this, they’re dragging their heels far too much — they estimate that the new rules will be released in six months. Meanwhile, sewage pours into our water every day. The state receives a dart for letting things get this bad and for taking their time to come up with a solution.

especially Oct. 15 when the Scarlet Knights face Navy at home. In fact, I am asking the student body to take leadership of the opposite response.

“Once the whistle blows, their team should be defeated.” The only difference between Conte and the young men from the Academy who will emerge from the stadium tunnel that afternoon is that he has actually

made the sort of sacrifice in service to the rest of us that these young midshipmen, at this point in their careers, have expressed the willingness to make. It will be no discredit to our Scarlet Knights or to our desire for their victory to give a few moments of honor to these young people — and, in that act, to all the young men and women in similar service to the nation. Let’s applaud them as we applauded Conte. This is not a matter of policy or politics, but of sportsmanship and civility. We may, and in fact we should, debate the former,

but the latter should be beyond contention. And in this case, it should be clearly right to us that we spend a few moments acknowledging these young men, who are soon to place themselves between the dangers of the world and us. Once the whistle blows, their team should be defeated. Before that, their spirit should be praised. I will do what I can from my seat, but I hope I will be following the lead of the young men and women in scarlet red. Michael Callahan is a Rutgers College alumnus, Class of 1985.

NOTEBOOK: Rutgers recovers four fumbles in win continued from back season for the Knights, who also recovered three more Ohio fumbles to bring their takeaway total to 13, which ranks third nationally. “We play an attacking style on special teams and on defense, so I hope we can create takeaways,” said head coach Greg Schiano. Rutgers also put the ball on the ground twice and lost possession when it could not execute a handoff between sophomore quarterback Chas Dodd and freshman running back Savon Huggins. Huggins fumbled earlier in the game, but the Knights recovered it. “Any time we put the ball on the ground I am very disappointed,” Schiano said. “Fumbles, we can’t live with. But having said all that, [Huggins] will get it corrected, no doubt. He will rebound from this.” Dodd threw an interception in Rutgers territory in the first half when he tried to force a pass into junior tight end D.C. Jefferson. The Bobcats scored off the turnover, but Dodd rebounded for three scores through the air.

Rutgers snaps seven-game losing streak BY JOSH BAKAN CORRESPONDENT

NOAH WHITTENBURG / STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER

Goalie Sarah Stuby led the Knights’ defense with five saves, while forward Gia Nappi put Rutgers on top late in the 3-1 win.

When it came to the second half of the Rutgers field hockey team’s bout against Bucknell yest e r d a y, FIELD HOCKEY s u s RUTGERS 3 pense was in BUCKNELL 1 f u l l force. Losers of seven games in a row, the Scarlet Knights did not want the same story to occur for an eighth time. Getting out to an early lead was not unusual for the Knights — they did so in their last nonconference game in a loss to Monmouth — but maintaining such a lead did not happen since their season-opening win against James Madison. Since that time, Rutgers never scored multiple goals in a game. That changed in the 16th minute against Bucknell when senior forward Nicole Gentile put in her second goal of the season and the eventual game-winner in a 3-1 road victory. The Knights did not feel the same déjà vu they experienced in their 2-1 loss to Villanova (5-4, 11) when they failed to capitalize on scoring opportunities. “We ended up going back to the hotel and then had a team meeting where we watched that Villanova game, and we did a great job preparing for the game,” said head coach Liz Tchou. After allowing the first Bison goal of the day to senior midfielder Kate Bowen only three minutes into the first half, the Knights could not afford to give up any more. But Rutgers (2-7, 0-2) made sure it was the only Bucknell goal, thanks to the efforts of the defense and sophomore goalie Sarah Stuby, who recorded five saves. “Sarah had an amazing game. She had some amazing

saves,” said senior defender Mackenzie Noda. “We wanted to push ourselves to take some of the workload off of her.” Rutgers found itself with an unfamiliar privilege in having to maintain a lead for practically an entire game after sophomore Danielle Freshnock knocked in a goal 1:28 into the game. Rutgers points leader Gia Nappi capped off the Knights’ scoring output with a clutch goal with five minutes remaining, courtesy of an assist on a penalty corner from the team’s leading scorer, junior Carlie Rouh. “When it was 2-1, a lot of us were concerned about the game being tied,” Stuby said. “But that goal took some of the franticness out of our heads.” The final goal capped it for the Knights, who return to the Banks from Lewisburg, Pa., with the monkey off their backs after their seven-game losing streak. But Bucknell did not go down without a fight — the case for the Bison all season. Despite a lackluster 2-4 record, the Bison pulled out both their victories in overtime. Bucknell came out weak on both ends by giving up early goals to Rutgers and taking 28 minutes to earn its first shot. But the Bison entered the second half a completely different team. Rutgers posted a 7-2 shot advantage against Bucknell in the first half. But in only 15 minutes, the Bison tied that number at nine and ended the day with a 1211 shot advantage. There were many moments that were too close for comfort for the Knights, but Stuby only allowed one Bison goal despite Bucknell’s narrow shot advantage. The Knights did not have such luck in Villanova, Pa., last week, but look to put together ef for ts mirroring their Bucknell win against the rest of their Big East competition.

TIME: Jamison emerges as main back against Bobcats continued from back blocking, but Dodd handed the ball off. Save for Huggins’ 3-yard touchdown run after Jamison went down with an ankle injur y, Jamison took over, carr ying the ball 29 times for 97 yards. “All along we have said … that he’s really got great vision and really great feet,” said head coach Greg Schiano. “He was hot [Saturday], so we kept feeding him the ball.” It helped Rutgers (2-1) control possession for nearly twothirds of the game, after Schiano spent the week praising Ohio’s triple-threat offensive attack. The Knights limited the Bobcats’ pistol-option-shotgunrun system to 65 yards rushing, but Ohio (3-1) put up points through the air. Sophomore quar terback Tyler Tettleton had two touchdown tosses, but once Huggins’ second-quarter touchdown run broke a 7-7 tie, the Knights took control. Junior safety Wayne Warren forced a fumble on a punt return, which Ka’Lial Glaud recovered and returned to the 2-yard line before another fumble. Junior cornerback Marcus Cooper

recovered it and finished the job by finding the end zone. “It’s been a while since I’ve seen the end zone,” said Cooper, who star ted his Rutgers career at wide receiver. “Just to have that feeling again, it’s great.” It was one of two fumbles Glaud recovered in Rutgers’ fourtakeaway performance. The junior made his first career start at defensive end after entering training camp as the starting middle linebacker, and was par t of a unit that sacked Tettleton three times. “That’s definitely what you can expect,” Glaud said. “As we’re getting more comfortable with our positions and our technique, we’re starting to believe in ourselves. Our job is to pressure the quarterback and make it easier on our [defensive backs].” Nothing was easy on the Ohio secondar y, even though Sanu was virtually the only option for Dodd. Six other players caught one pass while Sanu repeatedly found space downfield, despite an increase of double-teams as the game wore on. “I think we have a lot of faith in Mohamed no matter who is covering him,” Schiano said. “We are going to go to him. We have some really good receivers that we need to get cooking, making it much more hard to defend.”

Freshman registers first two-goal game in win BY VINNIE MANCUSO CORRESPONDENT

Before entering its first Big East game of the season against Pittsburgh Friday, the Rutgers men’s MEN’S SOCCER soccer team did PITTSBURGH 1 not give RUTGERS 3 itself m a n y options. As far as the Scarlet Knights were concerned, the only option was to start conference play 1-0. With their 3-1 victory at a raincovered Yurcak Field, the Knights received the only option they wanted. “It’s great. It’s a really good win. To me, this was a must-win at home,” said head coach Dan Donigan. “It’s a cross-division game. I mean, looking at it realistically,

with UConn playing St. John’s on the same night, those are good teams and if we can get three points on them with this game, I’ll take what I can get. I’m happy.” The Rutgers offense received a huge boost from highly touted freshman forward JP Correa, who notched two goals in a game for the first time in his collegiate career. Correa’s second goal in the 63rd minute turned out to be the game winner. The Panthers netted their only goal of the game off a free kick just outside the box late in the first half, tying it up. “It feels great after last weekend [against Indiana] missing a bunch of chances, maybe getting a little bit unlucky to be able to come back and be able to score one in the first half, then give my team the lead in the second,” Correa said. “You cannot start 0-1 in the

Big East. That wasn’t an option. We had to win here.” The Knights notched a security goal late in the game off the foot of senior Nye Winslow. It was the first career goal for the midfielder, who continues to recover from a hamstring injury he suffered earlier this season. “It just feels great. I had the hamstring trouble in the beginning of the year, so getting back from that was tough,” Winslow said. “Just to get on the field and be able to contribute is good. It feels great to help the team win in any way possible.” The Knights drew first blood in the contest, with Correa finding the back of the net on a give-and-go combination with junior midfielder Robin Brown. The Rutgers offense worked effectively despite the inclement weather in Piscataway, which saw the Knights avoid midfield puddles.

Correa chalked the win up to the Knights’ determination in their first Big East game. “This isn’t exactly the greatest the field has ever been, but you just have to deal with it. Both teams have to deal with it,” he said. “It’s just about fighting and running hard the whole game, and hoping you get the best result.” Donigan noted from the sidelines that the Knights offense ran more on toughness than on athletic skill. “I’m happy. I mean we were out here in tough conditions. The field is awful, but there is nothing you can do about that,” Donigan said. “You couldn’t really play soccer. You just had to sort of muck it up, mud it out and that is just what our guys did. Overall, I’m happy with the results, but it’s hard to assess because we weren’t really playing soccer out there.”

RU held scoreless in consecutive conference contests BY ANTHONY HERNANDEZ ASSOCIATE SPORTS EDITOR

The Rutgers women’s soccer t e a m WOMEN’S SOCCER e n t e r s RUTGERS 0 e a c h weekWEST VIRGINIA 1 end with t h e same goal of winning both games. Junior goalkeeper Emmy Simpkins even upped the ante last week, exuding confidence in the team’s ability to shut out both Pittsburgh and No. 25 West Virginia in consecutive matches. But the Scarlet Knights’ lofty goals did not match the weekend’s results, as they played Pittsburgh to a scoreless draw Friday and dropped a 1-0 overtime thriller to the Mountaineers yesterday in Morgantown, W.Va. “Obviously, we’re disappointed,” Simpkins said after a five-save performance against the Mountaineers. “We tied Pittsburgh when we shouldn’t have, and we battled through West Virginia and should’ve come out on top. We’re disappointed, but we’re not going to break and we’re going to get ready for next weekend.”

With yesterday’s loss, the Knights (6-4-1, 1-2-1) now face an uphill climb in the Big East National Division. Rutgers stands at sixth in the division through its first four conference games, failing to score in consecutive contests for the first time this season. The loss also gives the Knights a three-game winless streak, dating back to the team’s second Big East contest resulting in a 4-1 loss to Georgetown. Georgetown is now in first place in the National Division. “I still feel confident — we had so many oppor tunities,” Simpkins said. “We’ve got the youngsters up top — the freshman up top that are tr ying to fill those shoes right now — and they’ve done an awesome job. The only advice I have for them is to keep their heads up and not get down on themselves.” The Knights again had plenty of opportunities, and Crooks was first to acknowledge the squad’s scoring changes. But with sophomore forward Jonelle Filigno out for both contests with an ankle injury, Crooks

Sophomore forward Maria Gerew recorded four shots in the Knights’ scoreless weekend on the road. relied on a pair of freshmen and an inexperienced sophomore to help lead the attack. Sophomore Maria Gerew, who scored her only career goal last week, earned arguably the two best scoring opportunities of the game only five minutes into play. Freshman for ward Stefanie Scholz sent the ball into the box

for Gerew, who fired a shot at West Virginia (8-3, 4-0) goalkeeper Sara Keane. The rebound deflected back to the Toms River, N.J., native, but her second shot fluttered high and bounced off the crossbar. “In both matches we hit ever y single post, crossbar, ever ything we can get,” Gerew said. “It’s fr ustrating, but

we just need to keep working hard.” Tying with Pitt (1-7-4, 0-2-2) was as demoralizing, as the Panthers scored in only four of their 12 games this season. The inef fectiveness on offense set up well for Crooks’ attack, even with Filigno out of the lineup with an injured ankle. But the Knights never capitalized despite outshooting the Panthers, 17-11, with five of those shots reaching the hands of Pitt goalkeeper Kristina Rioux. “We got behind the defense. We’ve just got to finish,” Gerew said. The Knights return to Piscataway on Friday to face St. John’s and Syracuse, two teams who had success of their own early in the conference season. And if they plan on attaining their six-point goal next weekend at Yurcak Field, the Knights’ margin for error is slim to none, Crooks said. “Right now [in] our homes matches [there is] no margin for error — none,” Crooks said. “We’ve got to get it done at home.”

Sanu caught a Big East-record 16 passes for 176 yards and two touchdowns in the Rutgers football team’s 38-26 win against Ohio. “The first time someone came up to me and told me he had 16 catches, I was just astonished,” said the sophomore Dodd, who added a late touchdown pass to sophomore tight end Paul Carrezola. “I didn’t think he had that many. He did a great job catching the ball, and if he keeps doing that, he’s going to keep getting it.”

That was the theme through the first three games, when Sanu has 36 receptions for 363 yards and four scores. His two-touchdown per formance marks the first time the former Wildcat quar terback had two receiving touchdowns in a game. “I like being a receiver,” Sanu said. “I get to actually be in the meetings with [wide receivers] coach [P.J.] Fleck and learn how to be a natural receiver, not a running back and a receiver.”
