It started with two friends building their business in a garage from scratch. They became the founders of a revolutionary company that is now a widely recognized symbol of technology and modernity.

In an effort to encourage students to start their own businesses, Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak is scheduled to visit the University on Monday to speak at Entrepreneurship Day. Richard Mammone, a professor of Supply Chain Management and Marketing Science, said he chose Wozniak to speak at the event’s fourth year because he is someone who represents entrepreneurs.

“Steve Wozniak and Steve Jobs founded Apple computer in a garage,” said Mammone, who will be running the event. “They’re leg-

endary entrepreneurs. We want to see more people of [this] generation do the same thing.”

In his speech, Wozniak plans to discuss the maker-space movement, which involves groups of people working together to develop futuristic products, he said.

Mammone said in the 1970s and 1980s, Silicon Valley was a great environment for startup companies to thrive, which Wozniak saw firsthand when he and Jobs created Apple in Cupertino, Calif.

But Mammone said people are taking fewer risks than in the past, which is hurting the economy.

“To get out of the economic situation we’re in, we need to have more start-up companies,” he said. “Most college graduates want to get a job and a big salary, but we need to help stimulate new companies.”

Panelists took the microphone at Eagleton Institute of Politics’ “Morning After” conference yesterday to express their concern over the low voter turnout, especially among college youth, during this year’s state elections.

Speakers — Assemblywoman Joan Quigley, D-32, Associated Press political repor ter for the New Jersey Statehouse Bureau Angela Delli Santi, political columnist for Bergen County’s The Record Charles Stile and former chair of the New Jersey Republican State Committee Tom Wilson — voiced their concerns over absentee college votes.

“The turnout [in the state elections] was very low,” Wilson said. “In these

low-turnout elections, it’s the true activist who shows up, the truly engaged voter that brings home elections on a district level.”

Democrats held on to the 2nd and 38th districts in the southern part of the state, which saw highly competitive races this election, Delli Santi said.

“Essentially the message of the day is that nothing is really going to change in the Legislature, [and] in terms of representation, nothing will be much dif ferent,” Delli Santi said.

Some University students said the results could have been different if more young voters submitted a ballot.

“Should college students care about this election? I helped register

A capella concert closes anti-hate campaign

BY GIANCARLO CHAUX CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Through charity and community awareness events, Rutgers Hillel closed its annual “Days Without Hate” campaign last night with an a capella concert and presentation in Rutgers Student Center on the College Avenue campus.

Six different local a capella groups came together to bring a general sense of good feeling on campus, a primar y goal of the three-day “Days Without Hate” campaign, said Talia Zarbiv, “Days Without Hate” chair.

The campaign ends with a concert every year, which garners the most attendance, said Zeke Pariser, president of Hillel.

The “Days Without Hate” campaign started in response to the anniversary of the assassination of Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin and aims to eliminate all forms of hate and intolerance, said Zarbiv, a School of Arts and Sciences senior.

Centered on the idea of bringing peace in the community, the campaign encouraged students to stop hate with its signature “Days Without Hate Pledge,” said Pariser, a School of Ar ts and Sciences senior.

Campus strives to expand energy sustainability

BY JENNIFER LIU CONTRIBUTING WRITER

University officials are looking to steer the campus toward a more environmentally friendly community by bringing more solar panels to Livingston campus and charging docks for electric cars.

The University plans to install the additional solar panels — which will be 32 acres long and produce eight megawatts of electricity — by January 2013. The system in place now covers seven acres and produces 1.4 megawatts of electricity, said Joseph Witkowski, director of Utilities Operations.

The solar farm has two functions: It not only produces electricity but also creates heated water as a byproduct, said Michael Kornitas, Energy Conservation manager.

The current solar farm on Livingston campus produces 11 percent of the electricity needed, which is enough for 145 average homes, Kornitas said.

At $40 million, the new solarpowered system will be more expensive than the system already in place, which cost $10 million, Witkowski said. The majority of the funding will come from the Solar Renewable Energy Credit program, a state subsidy program.

But Witkowski said the investment is worth it, as Livingston campus would never look the same.

“We will be providing around 50 percent of Livingston’s power

The two ChargePoint America recharging systems for electric cars at the Rutgers Center for Advanced Infrastructure and Technology on Busch campus are among the several ways the University provides alternative energy on campus.

… [and] saving over a million dollars a year,” he said.

In addition to the solar canopy project, the University is also putting in a geothermal system for the Rutgers Business School building on Livingston campus, Witkowski said.

The construction for the project will finish in the next couple of weeks, and the geothermal project will be complete in the fall of 2012, he said.

“We drill a whole lot of holes in the ground, and we dig down approximately 500 feet per hole,” Witkowski said. “For heating and cooling the building, we utilize the Earth’s core temperature to

offset the energy costs that it would normally take to heat or cool a building.”

When most power plants make electricity from a turbine, they lose all the excessive heat, yielding 40 percent efficiency, he said. But if the plant is able to utilize the heat, then it brings the ef ficiency up to almost 80 percent.

Monica Mazurek, director of the Environment and Energy Program, said investing in the capital system and hardware is low maintenance that lasts for a few decades, saving money and reducing carbon dioxide emissions.

The University is also working to recharge systems for electric cars powered by the cogeneration plant and the solar panels, Mazurek said.

There are two ChargePoint America recharging systems for electric cars at the Rutgers Center for Advanced Infrastructure and Transportation on Busch campus powered by the cogeneration plant and the solar panels, Mazurek said. The reason for the small number is electric cars are more expensive than cars that run on petroleum.

Dunbar Birnie, professor of materials science and engineering, said the problem of plug-in

technology becomes a matter of where to invest the money.

“Do we put money into a lot of infrastructure and charging when there are no cars to plug in?” Birnie asked. “Or do we put a lot of money into new kinds of cars and not have places to plug them in?”

He wants faculty members to push the envelope even further in order to expand other projects.

“I’m tr ying to get a funded project going that … could give insight into how could we help people transition from regular cars to plug in vehicles that would use solar power,” Birnie said.

HONOR SOCIETY HOSTS BROADCAST TO EDUCATE STUDENTS ON FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY The National Society of Leadership and Success hosted a live-streaming video broadcast Tuesday night of authors Robert and Kim Kiyosaki, who discussed the importance of financial education and dealing with personal expenses.

Though the videoconference in the Rutgers Student Center’s Multipurpose Room was one-way, Director of Public Relations for the NSLS Curt Villarosa said it was an interactive experience for the audience because of the ability to tweet and text questions about leadership.

“The great thing about Robert Kiyosaki’s presentation is that he was very blunt and straightforward,” said Villarosa, a School of Arts and Sciences senior. “A key

message I think students learned is that we have to be able to take control of money and make it work for us.”

Robert Kiyosaki is the author of “Rich Dad Poor Dad,” a personal finance book that challenged and contradicted the conventional wisdom of how people think about money, Villarosa said. Kim Kiyosaki, the author of “Rich Woman,” travels around the globe educating and empowering women to be financially independent.

The speaker broadcast served as part of a membership process — the society also wanted to offer a chance for students to gain knowledge about important subjects outside of the classroom, Villarosa said.

“We wanted students to be able to join other motivated individuals across the country and learn what it takes to be a leader, specifically being financially stable and independent,” he said.

The event connected with the overarching goals of the honor society because it aimed to further prepare students as activists in the real world, Villarosa said.

“We’re giving them the opportunity to hear advice and get guidance from renowned professionals that they can look back on and use later in life,” he said. “We’re trying to develop leaders that will make a better world.”

Wilson said he would not sympathize with college students protesting the results because they generally do not take the initiative to vote.

“The way campaigns work is we talk to people we think are listening. The way we know whether you’re listening is by voting,” he said. “You can continue to not par ticipate and thumb your noses at the process and go to Wall Street and occupy that, but it’s at your own peril.”

The campaign began Monday by looking into ways to tackle issues of poverty using several different religious perspectives, Zarbiv said.

“We had a Christian and Jewish dialogue on poverty,” she said. “Two student representatives spoke about the way their religion treats the issue, and then we all broke into groups to discuss it.”

Dionisio said politicians should target college-aged voters because many students do not adequately understand candidates’ political views and therefore do not see why their vote should count.

“Students should be better informed, whether [by] the media, school — any area of education with minimal bias,” said Sean McGowen, School of Arts and Sciences senior. “But politicians should definitely try harder to get students involved.”

Wilson said at the end of the day it is up to people to execute their rights as American citizens, because no amount of arguing can make a significant difference.

Hillel’s mission is to offer opportunities for Jewish students at the University to explore Jewish life.

The organization, which strives to create a jewish culture on campus, encourages its members to seek social justice and Jewish knowledge through its activities, according to the group’s website. There are about 5,800 Jewish undergraduates on campus, comprising 17 percent of the student body.

APPLE: Organizers expect about 2,000 people to attend continued from front Entrepreneurship Day aims to encourage an innovation ecosystem in New Jersey, similar to the maker-space environment Wozniak is familiar with, Mammone said.

“We would help the ecosystem around us, of lawyers and accountants and people who could do rapid prototyping and computer design,” he said.

“We’d like to create an environment where all these people could come together and help each other learn what they’re doing.”

Mammone said the governor’s office supports small startup businesses because they help the economy.

“It’s to everybody’s advantage to have these nurturing types of business environments,” he said.

To create such an environment at the University for technologically advanced start-up companies, the campus provides hacker spaces where students can explore ideas for products and create models, he said.

“People can easily make wireless devices or robots or whatever you want to hack,” he said.

“Wozniak is in support of that — he’s an icon of it. People should customize more stuff independently … we think people are losing their innovative edge.”

At the event, representatives from more than 100 start-up companies plan to hold sessions and discuss resources and job creation with students in attendance.

“It’s a good place to see the future — people starting companies now. You may want to start a company yourself or you may be starting one now,” he said. “You can find lawyers or maybe get a job. The future Apple or Cisco is in these places.”

The event runs from 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday in the College Avenue Gym, and Wozniak will speak at 11:20 a.m., according to the agenda.

In past years, Entrepreneurship Day attracted about 500 attendees, but the expectation is higher this year, said Ed Tate, a communications organizer for the event.

Registration as of today is about 1,200, but Tate and Mammone expect about 2,000 attendees with people registering in the days leading up to the event.

“It has something to do with the economy. There’s a lot of talk these days about small businesses and entrepreneurs being the big drivers of the economy,” Tate said. “There are fewer corporate jobs being created these days.”

Entrepreneurs and sponsors largely fund the event, which requires pre-registration but is free to those who attend.

Erich Spangenberg, owner of the IP Navigation group owner, largely funded the day, including Wozniak’s speaker fee, Mammone said.

He also said people are not starting up enough companies, and the resources at Entrepreneurship Day are meant to help them.

“It’s really the way out of the problem we’re in. The big companies are going to die anyway,” he said. “Wall Street does not do things the way they need to be done, so let a younger company come in and do it a better way.”

Group improves dialogue among Mason Gross departments

BY KINAN TADMORI CONTRIBUTING WRITER

The Mason Gross Student Gover nment Association is taking strides to unite its four expressive disciplines this semester through “Ar tist Talk.”

“Ar tist Talk” is a night when students of all four Mason Gross School of the Ar ts depar tments — music, dance, theater and visual ar ts — come together and discuss recent exhibits and per formances, said Elizabeth Zwierzynski, MGSGA president.

“Our goal this year is to have a little more conversation between the disciplines and more interaction than we’ve had in the past so that all the ar tists can understand each other’s creative process,”

said Katie Hector, MGSGA treasurer.

The program, which kicked of f Oct. 28, was the first MGSGA event of the semester to share experiences and thoughts on the special elements of each show, Zwierzynski said. The next date is scheduled for Nov. 16.

“We came together to see what each other’s process was,” said Latiana Gourzong, MGSGA vice president.

Connected to the goal of uniting the dif ferent depar tments, the MGSGA also plans to hold an interdisciplinar y ar t show next semester, Zwierzynski said.

“This will involve all four departments having one show on one day, so that everyone is able to attend,” said Gourzong, a Mason Gross School of the Arts junior.

The MGSGA is also considering hosting a critical feedback workshop next semester, Zwierzynski said.

“Our goal this year is to have a little more conversation between the disciplines and more interaction.”

KATIE HECTOR Mason Gross Student Governing Association Treasurer

“This would include ways to give feedback and critique another ar tist in a helpful and informative way,” said Zwierzynski, a Mason Gross

School of the Ar ts senior.

“This workshop would involve having representatives from all four depar tments and a piece of work from each to practice giving feedback.”

Aside from “Ar tist Talk,” MGSGA also hosted an event Sunday with Jef f Friedman, an associate professor in the Mason Gross School of the Ar ts dance depar tment who discussed understanding the dif ference between multidisciplinar y and interdisciplinar y work in order to create ar t that crosses disciplines, Zwierzynski said.

“Friedman also explained that multidisciplinar y is when dif ferent disciplines per form at the same time, and an interdisciplinar y per formance is when one ar tist studies another discipline and uses that to inform

a per formance or creation,” she said.

The MGSGA is composed of undergraduate students in the Mason Gross School of the Ar ts with representatives and executive board members belonging to each of the four depar tments, Zwierzynski said.

“Our job mainly is to fulfill the needs of the students within each discipline,” Hector said.

She said MGSGA has experienced a productive semester so far, with a great deal of work and collaboration accomplished among each discipline to fur ther foster a sense of camaraderie within the institution.

“As long as we can get together a core group of dedicated students,” Hector said.

“It’s definitely a possibility.”

PRINCETON REVIEW RANKS TWO CAMDEN PROGRAMS TOP IN THEIR FIELDS OF STUDY Two of the 2012 Princeton Review’s guidebooks rank the Rutgers School of Law-Camden and the MBA program at the Rutgers School of Business-Camden among the top programs in their respective areas of study.

The “2012 Princeton Review Best 167 Law Schools” and the “2012 Princeton Review Best 294 Business Schools” are based on surveys of participating students during the past academic years, according to a University press release.

“These rankings by The Princeton Review, while gratifying, represent just a glimpse into the Rutgers-Camden experience,” said RutgersCamden Chancellor Wendell Pritchett in the press release.

For the rankings, the Princeton Review sur veyed about 107 students at each law school and 65 at each business school, according to the press release.

The sur veys include 80 questions about aca-

demic, student and campus life, as well as career goals.

“The tr ue measure of our campus is in the success of our students and graduates, the excellent scholarship of our faculty, the friendly ser vice delivered by our staf f and our ability to help the citizens of New Jersey,” Pritchett said. “RutgersCamden excels in each of these impor tant areas.”

Study shows some NJ towns see increase in poverty rates

BY ANDREW SMITH STAFF WRITER

While the state’s unemployment rate stands at 9.2 percent since September, towns across New Jersey are facing increasing rates of poverty.

Among the affected towns are Carteret in Middlesex County, Union Township in Hunterdon County, and Garfield in Bergen County, according to a study released last Thursday by the Brookings Institute.

Over the past decade, these areas have experienced an increase in the percentage of people living below the poverty line, with some towns reaching numbers as high as 40 percent, according to the study.

Ronald Anglin, executive director of the Initiative for Regional and Community Transformation — a group dedicated to informing marginalized communities to include

them in the economy — said the foundation of the U.S. economy has changed over the past 40 years.

“We’ve gone from an industrial to a knowledge economy in which workers who once could expect to enter industr y and work without skills now can’t do that,” he said. “They need gobs and gobs of education just to stay the same as their parents.”

Former working class areas are now experiencing economic decay, Anglin said.

Citing cities like Newark and Paterson, Anglin said heavy industry has been relocated, leaving those without schooling cut off and jobless.

“You’re left with an isolated population. They can’t get work, they can’t leave to go to a wealthier area with jobs since the transpor tation infrastructure is incomplete, and you get concentrated poverty,” he said.

“It’s growing. Poverty has now been suburbanized.”

Anglin said although New Brunswick has its share of poverty like any city is, it is

“The income inequality in this country corrodes the social contract that says we all work hard.”

doing well to weather the storm because of the efforts of longstanding institutions.

“What’s dif ferent about New Br unswick is that it has major anchoring institutions

that said 30 years ago, ‘We’re not going to let this town die,’” he said.

Anglin said stakeholders in town worked with the residents to figure out what they needed to do to prevent New Brunswick from becoming a town overcome with poverty.

But Melanie Krutzel, president of the Undergraduate Social Work Organization, said while the effects reported in the Brookings study may not be plainly obvious in New Brunswick, people stricken by poverty are living and suffering in the city.

“We went to Elijah’s Promise, the soup kitchen, and saw just how many people were waiting around for seconds,” she said.

“They would wait around for an hour or two just to see if there was some extra food, including children.”

Along with the changing nature of New Jersey’s job

offerings, Anglin said income disparity was another reason for the changes in the state’s economic makeup.

The ratio of a CEO to his staff was near a one-to-two ratio 30 years ago but is now almost a one-to-six ratio, Anglin said.

“The income inequality in this countr y corrodes the social contract that says we all work hard and we all achieve upward mobility,” he said. “That’s just not the case, and workers in this countr y are aware of that.”

Shane Connelly, an employee at Sanctuary on Easton Avenue, said pover ty within the city exists but is not obvious.

“There’s homeless people that come in and don’t get anything, but I wouldn’t say that it’s a major issue. You don’t see a lot of it, ” he said. “I would say it’s probably worse on the other side of New Brunswick, but I haven’t noticed an increase in poverty.”

POLICE ARREST TWO MEN INVOLVED WITH EDISON RESIDENT’S DEATH Two men were ar rested yesterday in connection to an Edison man found dead Monday morning at an industrial site in Sayreville.

Daniel Medaglia, a 27-year-old Edison resident, pleaded not guilty to charges of fatally bludgeoning acquaintance Kelvin Dumo Sunday night at a proper ty owned by Viking Terminal on Jernee Mill Road, according to an NJ.com ar ticle.

The second man arrested was Ryan Morrell, 29, of Dunellen, who is charged with hindering Medaglia’s arrest by destroying evidence.

Dumo, 28, died from blunt force trauma to the head, but it is unknown what weapon was used as of yet, said Middlesex County Assistant Prosecutor Nicholas Sewitch.

A man going to work at an excavating company located on the property found the victim’s body around 4:49 a.m. on Monday,

according to a previous press release from the Prosecutor’s Office.

Medaglia was arrested at the Ramada Inn on Route 1 in North Brunswick, while Morrell surrendered to Sayreville police, authorities said in the article.

Medaglia entered a not guilty plea yesterday before Superior Court Judge Diane Pincus in New Brunswick and was jailed with a bail set at $2 million, according to the article. Morrell was also jailed with bail set at $50,000.

Greek parties agree to interim coalition THE ASSOCIATED PRESS ATHENS, Greece — Greece’s two main parties reached an agreement to form an interim coalition government to secure a new euro130 billion ($177 billion) debt deal and keep the country in the euro, the outgoing prime minister said yesterday.

A result had initially been expected Monday night from power-sharing negotiations between Premier George Papandreou’s Socialists and the opposition conservatives led by Antonis Samaras.

But the talks dragged on for three days despite intense European and domestic pressure for a quick end to the political crisis that has endangered Greece’s continued bailout funding and position in the euro.

“Today the main political forces are joining together, to guarantee to Greece’s citizens that in the following months we will do whatever is necessar y not only to secure the countr y’s position in the euro and implement the (debt deal) decisions ... but also to make use of its great benefits,” Papandreou said in a televised address.

He then headed to a meeting with President Karolos Papoulias, where he was expected to formally resign — half way through his four-year term. Papandreou wished the next prime minister well, but gave no indication of who it would be.

Former European Central Bank vice president Lucas Papademos had been widely tipped as the strongest candidate for interim prime minister. But two officials from the main parties said that by yesterday afternoon another strong candidate had emerged — current parliamentary speaker and former jus-

tice and public order minister Philippos Petsalnikos.

“Today, despite our political and social dif ferences, we are setting aside the sterile conflicts,” the 59-year-old Papandreou said. “A government of political forces is taking over that goes beyond parties and personal biases.”

The political crisis erupted last week, when Papandreou said he would put the new European rescue package to a referendum. Other eurozone nations were horrified by the delay, markets around the world tanked and Greece’s international creditors froze the payment of the next euro8 billion ($10.9 billion) bailout installment, without which the country will default on its debts.

Faced with international anger and a backlash from within his own Socialist par ty, where lawmakers were calling for him to resign, Papandreou withdrew the referendum plan Thursday, saying it was no longer necessar y after the opposition indicated they would support the deal.

Earlier this week, eurozone finance ministers said the heads of the two main parties had to commit in writing to the terms of the countr y’s bailouts before Athens can receive the next loan installment.

There has been intense speculation in recent days as to who will take over from Papandreou, but the outgoing premier offered only vague hints as to who it might be.

“It was clear that to achieve this effort we would have to agree on a person who would unite us and would be supported by all of us,” he said. “I believe the choice we have made is in line with the institutions and will boost the democratic institutions.”

Thousands of students march in protest of cuts to public spending and an increases in university fees yesterday in central London. Previous protests have ended in violence from a minority of demonstrators.

London students protest tuition fees THE ASSOCIATED PRESS LONDON — Amid a heavy police presence, thousands of students marched through central London yesterday to protest cuts to public spending and a big increase in university tuition fees.

Police said more than 2,000 people took part in the march, which set off from the University of London at midday with chants of “No ifs, no buts, no education cuts.” Organizers estimated the crowd at 10,000.

About 4,000 police officers were deployed along the route.

Previous student protests have ended in violence by a minority of demonstrators, including a spontaneous attack on a car carr ying Prince Charles and his wife Camilla in December.

Police said 24 people were arrested, most for breach of the peace and public order offenses, but the march was largely peaceful as demonstrators made their way through the city center.

At Trafalgar Square, a group of protesters erected more than 20 tents at the foot of Nelson’s Column in the latest spinof f of the Occupy Wall Street protest camp movement.

The tents were quickly cleared away by police.

The marchers had planned to link up with an existing protest camp against corporate greed outside St. Paul’s Cathedral, but were stopped by lines of police in riot gear.

Annette Webb, an international development student at Portsmouth University, said tripling tuition fees to 9,000

pounds ($14,000) from next year “will price out most students.”

“It will mean that education is only for the rich and I believe it should be for ever yone,” she said.

Police had warned that anyone involved in criminal activity during the march would face arrest and prosecution. Police said protesters may face being “kettled” — contained inside a cordon — if there is a threat of serious disorder.

Protest organizers accused the police of tr ying to intimidate marchers after repor ts that of ficers would be authorized to use rubber bullets if violence broke out. London police said of ficers along the route would not be issued with rubber bullets and they would only be used in “extreme circumstances.”

Palestine to seek alternate path to United Nations membership THE ASSOCIATED PRESS RAMALLAH, West Bank — The Palestinians are resigned to defeat in their quest for full membership at the United Nations, officials said Tuesday, and have started work on their backup plan — seeking an upgraded observer status that would give them access to key international organizations.

Of ficials said they are already lobbying foreign governments, especially in western Europe, in hopes of rallying suppor t for this alternate strategy. The officials said this new campaign in the General Assembly, dominated by developing countries normally sympathetic to the Palestinians, could be harder than anticipated because of expected opposition by the U.S. The Palestinian campaign, launched with a dramatic speech

by President Mahmoud Abbas at U.N. headquarters in September, has fallen onto hard times in recent weeks. While the speech

was warmly received, the Palestinians have struggled to muster the nine votes needed in the 15-member Security Council to approve their bid for membership as a state.

The U.S., as a permanent member of the council, pledged to veto the request. The Palestinians had hoped to muster the nine-vote majority needed to trigger the veto — a scenario that would embarrass the U.S. by putting it odds with the rest of the world.

A draft report circulating in the Security Council obtained by The Associated Press shows deep divisions over the Palestinian application for membership. The council’s admissions committee is expected to endorse the report on Friday. It remains unclear when the council will actually vote on the issue.

On Wednesday, Britain, another permanent member of the council, announced it would abstain in a vote, following a similar statement by France the previous day.

Speaking to The Associated Press, Palestinian Foreign Minister Riad Malki conceded the Palestinians would not be able to gain enough support in the council.

“We knew that the Security Council would not be a picnic.

But the most important thing here is who is going to win in the final round,” he said. “There will be other rounds, and we will never despair.”

The Palestinians turned to the United Nations after a threeyear deadlock in peace talks.

They asked the world body to endorse a Palestinian state in the West Bank, Gaza Strip and east Jerusalem — territories captured by Israel in the 1967 Mideast war.

While a U.N. vote would not change the situation on the ground, the Palestinians believe a strong international endorsement would boost their position in negotiations. Israel opposes a pullback to its 1967 lines.

The Palestinians have said that if they failed to win full U.N.

membership, they would seek “nonmember state” observer status in the world body.

They hope that this enhanced status would qualify them for membership on key international bodies where they could push for action against Israel. Last month the Palestinians won membership in the U.N.’s cultural agency, UNESCO. A Palestinian official said yesterday that the Palestinians have begun lobbying key European countries, particularly France, for support.

In Paris, French Foreign Ministr y spokesman Bernard Valero confirmed his government is open to the Palestinian request, saying nonmember status “still seems the best path to us.”

Israel, with backing from the U.S., has fiercely opposed the entire Palestinian strategy, saying it is tr ying to make unilateral gains while avoiding peace talks.

“The correct response from people who want to see peace move forward in the Middle East

should be to tell the Palestinians that your U.N. strategy will not work and that it’s time for you to return to negotiations,” said Israeli government spokesman Mark Regev. “Israel is ready and we hope the Palestinians will rethink their positions.”

The Palestinians say they will not return to the negotiating table unless Israel halts settlement constr uction in the West Bank and east Jerusalem.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has refused to stop the construction, which has settled 500,000 Israelis onto lands claimed by the Palestinians, calling for talks without preconditions.

The “Quartet” of international mediators — the U.S., EU, Russia and U.N. — is expected to send a delegation to the region next week in hopes of restarting talks.

Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, who has enjoyed a jump in popularity by defying Israel and the U.S., is unlikely to bend without an Israeli concession on settlements.

Cain uses Google ads legally

G

oogle might be the new weapon in Herman Cain’s arsenal in battling allegations of sexual harassment — Google ads, to be exact. Those interested in finding out more about the Republican presidential candidate’s scandal will see, at the top of any Google search an ad linking to CainTruth.com, a website denying the harassment charges. It seems like subliminal advertising for one man’s cause, but this strategy is perfectly logical, despite negative press and doubt surrounding Cain. It is just another political tool, if only to test voter attention.

The website aims to “prove” Cain’s innocence, and it seems like a legitimate method of convincing voters of that. Cain’s public relations aides are doing their job. It is up to readers to decide whether to fall for a propagandized method of conviction — no matter what the truth in the case is. Readers should be active participants rather than passive consumers. They should be doing research themselves. Google clearly states that the Cain link is a “sponsored ad.” It might be even easier to discern propaganda from fact. We browse Google without paying attention to credibility in most cases, especially when we are trying to get the dirt on politicians. When it comes to this sponsored ad, people should notice the fact that the ad is, after all, just an ad.

Google did not get where it is because of moral judgments this specific. As a company, it is providing Cain with a method of spreading his message, whatever it may be. Google would do this for any other candidate, albeit the others are currently less controversial. Cain’s campaign managers are just utilizing one of the many features of the world’s most popular search engine.

This is not different from a lot of other forms of propaganda, and neither is more hidden. TV spots of politicians discerning rumors about themselves in the middle of the afternoon reach mass audiences as well. Only in the end do they need to state who supported the message. In Cain’s case, Google makes it perfectly obvious that the link is an ad, despite the website being named CainTruth.com. Really, we should all be more aware.

In reality, we as students rarely get confused between sponsored links and the first Google result on the page. We can discern Herman Cain’s promoted message and real results below.

EU must not create two-tier system

T

alks are France and Germany are discussing a new “elite” euro zone. Anonymous sources from within the European Union have told Reuters that French President Nicolas Sarkozy expressed his opinion in a speech in front of students in Strasbourg on the border with Germany, when he defended the idea of one Europe moving at two speeds, according to Le Figaro. He said the euro zone moving at a different speed than all 27 EU countries was the only model. This should not be the case. Morally and financially, this is shaky.

The idea of a “United Europe” only works when inclusion is the main goal. Although not every state in Europe is in the Union, inclusion and economic and political development have been ideals sought by the EU and candidate countries. Despite internal conflict over the benefits of the EU in candidate states, all of this promotes unity and “europeanness.” If a two-tier system is created where only the strongest states use the euro, the goal is lost.

Since its inception in 1957 as the European Economic Community, the group of 27 states has always aimed for inclusion. A major enlargement of the Union in 2004 and the addition of two more countries in 2007 proved the EU was on the right path. But for some of them it was harder. Romania and Bulgaria, the latest additions, had to institute numerous reforms nationally in order to even be eligible for consideration. In Bulgaria, for example, the EU made it a condition the country close some of its nuclear reactors, which had negative economic effects on the country. It previously exported energy to Turkey and Greece. For those countries, the path was a long and arduous one. If the EU creates a lower and a higher tier within itself, goals for each group would be different and development would stagger — especially for those countries that are in the lower tier.

Economic development isn’t certain for France and Germany, assumed economic powers, either. Greece, previously assumed to be stable, has been the poster child for a failed economy. In reality, there isn’t anything proving that strong countries that are nonetheless dependent on trade with smaller states in the EU won’t collapse as well. It is risky business. And it is an uncertain business in terms of whether or not a split will be made. In either case, a European Union cannot survive with the voluntary exclusion of “lower” states.

The Federal Emergency Management Agency for the first time in its history tested its Emergency Alert System across the nation. At 2 p.m. Eastern time, officials sent out the nation-wide alert through TV and radio stations, but did not include the Internet or mobile phones. The results were less than stellar. First, the omission of mobile phone alerts and an online warning means the system is not reaching a large portion of the population, as it is supposed to. In this day and age, most people are easier to reach on their mobile phones rather than in front of their TVs around 2 p.m.. Second, the alert did not completely work. According to the Christian Science Monitor, in some places it was muted or did not air altogether. We give FEMA a dart for its outdated methods. They should keep up with the times instead of airing a 1960s-styled message.

PLAY: Off-field preparation

“Some people when they come in, they get to play as freshmen or start. But I was able to watch two really good players,” Harmon said. “Zaire Kitchen was a phenomenal player and Joe Lefeged is in the NFL playing good football.”

Kitchen was a two-year starter in the Knights secondary, while Lefeged earned immediate playing time as a freshman before eventually signing with the Indianapolis Colts.

Both were tremendous athletes, Harmon said, but what impacted him the most was their work ethic behind the scenes.

Kitchen and Lefeged watched tapes not only on themselves, but of opposing quarterbacks’ and wide receivers’ tendencies, Harmon said.

“A lot of people don’t see that,” he said.

Harmon’s consistent play put others on notice.

After subbing in last season as Rutgers’ third safety on passing downs, Harmon is now

“What a playmaker is, is a talented guy who does what he’s supposed to do,” Schiano said. “If you have a good scheme and a good player, they add up to a play. Duron does what he’s coached to do.”

The 6-foot-1 Harmon is always around the ball, said junior wide receiver Mohamed Sanu, a former safety who arrived at Rutgers the spring before Harmon.

Harmon attributes his activity to pre-game preparation, reacting to the quarterback and swarming the ball.

He learned to prepare from the safeties that formerly limited him to a role player.

His five interceptions even trump the three from senior safety David Rowe, a former cornerback.

“He’s been steady throughout the whole season. You can see it,” Sanu said. “He’s a ballhawk.”

Harmon never picked off a pass in a Rutgers uniform prior to the 2011 campaign despite earning legitimate time last season in the Knights’ nickel and dime packages.

His of fseason preparation played an impor tant role in Harmon’s development after Lefeged graduated.

The transition was nearly seamless, a testament to Harmon not leaving it up to luck, Sanu said.

“Just to see him perform the way he performs is what you like to see,” Sanu said. “You reap what you sow, and that’s what he’s getting right now.”

Rutgers volleyball team captains Hannah Curtis and Kallie Pence admit balancing the emotional VOLLEYBALL burden of senior CONNECTICUT AT week is RUTGERS a strugSATURDAY, 2 P.M. gle.

Now they want to turn that emotion into energy, which has been absent in the Scarlet Knights’ recent slump.

Trying to recapture the energy Saturday, the Knights (8-21, 112) await visiting foe Connecticut (14-13, 4-8).

“We have a bit of a rivalr y going on with Connecticut,” Curtis said. “UConn’s one of those games we look for ward to.

I think it’s going to come down to us playing the way we know how to.”

Curtis is the first to admit the team’s play the past four matches was not up to par.

“The past four games have been really disappointing because we feel like we should’ve put in more effort,” she said. “I think this

week we’re not so much focusing on them, but the things we can control.”

Control is the motto this week for the team.

On the court, the Knights must be able to control the Huskies’ attack from the start.

Rutgers is 6-4 when winning the first set, compared to 2-13 when dropping the opener. The statistic is a credit to the energy head coach CJ Werneke demands, leading to strong defensive performances that give the Knights an edge.

But defeating a conference rival proved not as tall a task for the Knights.

A win against in-state foe Seton Hall showcased the Knights’ ability to play at a high level.

Sweeping the Pirates, 3-0, they put together three sets of energyfilled volleyball.

Rutgers must match that energy, but also control its emotions.

“We have to focus on what we can control — defensive intensity and composure,” Werneke said. “We’re tr ying to ride our emotions positively, not negatively.”

Curtis says she is ready to handle the emotional end.

“I’ve been tr ying to handle my emotions,” Curtis said. “I’m just going to go out swinging hard, playing with hear t and making the last two games the most unforgettable experience.”

A win Saturday puts the team at nine wins overall. To get to double-digit wins for the third straight year, the squad must then rally again Sunday against St. John’s (10-19, 1-11).

The final game on the Knights’ schedule matches them against the two bottom dwellers of the conference.

Both teams boast only one Big East win, and the final match of the season may ver y well end the deadlock at the bottom of the standings.

Werneke says St. John’s regional ties fuel another rivalr y, and the two evenly-matched teams figure to showcase it at the College Avenue Gym. Rutgers holds the edge on its home floor. A 5-8 home record finally bodes well for the Knights compared to the Red Storm’s two road victories.

Whatever advantages the Knights own this weekend, the matches are ultimately within their control.

t. John’s head men’s basketball coach Steve Lavin made an appearance Tuesday at the team’s practice.

Lavin announced after last season he had prostate cancer and had successful surgery about a month ago to remove the cancer.

It is still not certain when Lavin will return to the sidelines and coach the team.

Before his appearance at practice, Lavin received a DVD of each practice at his apartment and put together practice plans from it.

Without him, St. John’s opened its season Monday night with a win against William and Mary.

FINED TWO

players for hits in Sunday’s game between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Baltimore Ravens.

Steelers safety Ryan Clark received a $40,000 fine for his hit on Ravens tight end Ed Dickson, while Baltimore linebacker Ray Lewis was fined $20,000 for a blow to Pittsburgh receiver Hines Ward.

Clark was very vocal about his dissatisfaction with the ruling, saying he did not know how to play defense any other way and if he changed his playing style it would take away from his performance.

He also expressed his lack of respect for NFL commissioner Roger Goodell.

without one of quarterback Ben Roethlisberger’s most consistent targets for several weeks, according to head coach Mike Tomlin.

Wide receiver Antonio Brown missed last week’s game while dealing with the death of his mother, as well as an apparent knee injury.

Tomlin said Brown, who had 18 receptions for 243 yards and two touchdowns, underwent arthroscopic knee surgery to repair a torn meniscus.

The Steelers have the services of Ward, who suffered from concussion symptoms earlier in the week after a hit from Lewis, a Ravens linebacker.

BY VINNIE MANCUSO CORRESPONDENT

Junior goalkeeper Kevin McMullen ended the Rutgers men’s soccer team’s regular season on a MEN’S SOCCER high note, earning Big East Player of the Week recognition. But the Blackwood, N.J., native was not always familiar with success.

Following a preseason groin injur y, McMullen found himself sitting on the bench for the first game behind classmate Adam Klink.

McMullen earned his first appearance in the Scarlet Knights’ second game against Furman, when Klink went down with a concussion.

“Kevin stepped in and actually did a great job,” said head coach Dan Donigan. “He was in there for a very key win against College of Charleston at their place. He helped us to a 2-1 win early in the season and he never looked back from there.”

They definitely make me look so good sometimes because they don’t allow teams to score just as much as I do.”

With their regular season over and a 3-1 loss outing them from the Big East Tournament, the Knights now look for ward to Monday’s NCAA Tournament bid announcements.

Donigan is sure if Rutgers gains a bid that McMullen will show up for the team between the posts.

“We obviously had a little slipup in the Big East Tournament against UConn. We anticipate him bouncing back along with the rest of the team,” Donigan said. “If we are fortunate enough to get an NCAA bid, he will be ready to go again and perform at a very high level, which he has been doing all season long.”

Safety Harmon revisits productive play for RU

BY TYLER BARTO ASSOCIATE SPORTS EDITOR

Duron Harmon still remembers arriving in Piscataway two years ago and seeing his name buried at the FOOTBALL bottom of the Rutgers football team’s depth chart.

But the junior safety now finds himself atop the Scarlet Knights’ leaderboard with five interceptions in his first season as a starter. “[Head coach Greg Schiano] says all the time, ‘We create our own luck,’” Harmon said.

He had no luck in his first training camp at Rutgers, when he was saddled behind veterans Zaire Kitchen and Joe Lefeged, as well as former safety Khaseem Greene and others.

The standing was a fall from grace for the former Delaware State Defensive Player of the Year, who consulted his mother during the process.

“Be patient,” she told him. “Your time will come eventually. Don’t put a timetable on it.”

His latest interception Saturday came at the per fect time for the Knights, who used Harmon’s overtime pick to set up for a game-winning field goal against South Florida.

The takeaway was Harmon’s first since an Oct. 8 victory against Pittsburgh. He almost did not get the opportunity to see the field for it.

After suf fering a pair of injuries Saturday requiring him to miss time, Harmon’s return to the field was in question — for anyone not named Harmon.

“I just knew that if I could walk and I could think, I was going to go back out there,” he said.
