Al Sharpton calls for ACLU investigation of Deloatch case

BY TABISH TALIB CORRESPONDENT

KEITH FREEMAN / PHOTOGRAPHY EDITOR

University administration listens to inquiries about classroom shortages and weekend tests last night on the College Avenue campus.

Civil rights activist Rev. Al Sharpton is using his prominence to work toward bringing the American Civil Liber ties Union to New Brunswick to investigate the Sept. 22 shooting of Barr y Deloatch.

“We will do ever ything we can do to get them to review this case,” he said to a cheering crowd last night at a police brutality and street violence forum sponsored by the United Youth Council at the Sharon Baptist Church on Howard Street.

Speaking to about 200 New Brunswick and Middlesex county residents, Sharpton said he wants the ACLU to investigate the New Brunswick Police Department’s conduct.

Sharpton, who came to the forum directly from his live show on MSNBC, said there was a difference

in how police dealt with white and black communities within the same towns. He said there should not be a different standard depending on location.

“This countr y will never work until it works equally for ever ybody,” he said. “We are not asking to be treated dif ferently.”

Sharpton said the problem was two-fold. A combination of police misconduct with gang violence and thug culture are large factors in the lack of community reaction.

“They are told they are acting white, so then being inar ticulate and stupid is being black?” He said. “You cannot create this climate of terror, where you think we will fight for you to be a hoodlum and a thug.”

U. administrators address students’ concerns at forum

BY ANASTASIA MILLICKER ASSOCIATE NEWS EDITOR

Students had the oppor tunity to quer y University administrators last night at a Rutgers University Student Assembly town hall meeting in the Student Activities Center on the College Avenue campus.

Aside from University President Richard L. McCormick, Director for Residence Life Joan Carbone, Director of the Depar tment of Transpor tation Ser vices Jack Molenaar and Vice President of Facilities and Capital Planning Anthony Calcado were present to answer questions from the campus community.

Jill Weiss, a RUSA College Avenue representative, asked administrators why the University holds weekend exams and what they can do to accommodate the large incoming first-year class.

Vice President for Student Af fairs Gregor y S. Blimling said given the classroom demands, weekend exams are mainly held on Sundays because many students are busy on Saturdays with religious obser vances.

Vice President for Undergraduate Education Barr y V. Qualls said weekend tests are often scheduled to accommodate the large numbers of students who need to take the test at the same time.

“I can’t comment on the tests on weekends. The tests are scheduled as early as a year in advance. … Labs are used almost 16 hours a day,” Qualls said. “We only have a small number of large rooms on campus. … We need more classrooms.”

But more classrooms are on the way with additional spaces in Tillett Hall, the new business school building and the residence halls under construction on Livingston campus, McCormick said.

The bond for higher education issue, which may appear on the ballot in November 2012, will allow state residents to decide if New Jersey could borrow money to build higher education infrastructure, he said.

“All buildings on the Rutgers list will be classrooms,” he said. “We know we need classrooms and large classrooms.”

Joseph Cashin, RUSA corresponding secretar y, asked McCormick if there would be a line-by-line budget published on the Internet or in a place where it would be visible to students and the public.

“We have decided to star t doing it this year. It’s typically been a one-page repor t with expenditures. … It lacks detail,” McCormick said. “Star ting this year, there will be a more detailed repor t published on the Internet — [it’s going to be] significantly more comprehensive.”

RUSA representative Ross Kleiman said an aspect of the University that has been overlooked at the University is tradition, such as the discontinuation of breaking the clay pipes.

Mason Gross students get on track to reduce train ticket prices

BY JOVELLE ABBEY TAMAYO CONTRIBUTING WRITER

In an ef for t to save students a few dollars, Mason Gross Student Gover nment Association, along with the school’s deans, are making an ef for t to help ease the financial burden of students who often travel from New Brunswick to New York City.

Across all Mason Gross departments — music, dance, theater and visual arts — students are required to travel to New York City as part of their coursework, said Elizabeth Zwierzynski, president of the MGSGA. “[The school] is investigating the possibility of [lowering] the cost of bus tickets for Mason Gross students who are often required to rehearse or complete assignments in NYC,” said Casey Coakley, Mason Gross School of Ar ts dean of students, via email correspondence.

A round-trip train ticket from New Brunswick to New York Penn Station costs $26, according to the New Jersey Transit website.

“There’s [a] financial concer n for students in all schools and all majors. We will all always need to pay for things needed to sur vive in our careers,” said Latiana Gourzong, MGSGA vice president.

Gourzong, a Mason Gross School of the Ar ts junior, is enrolled in a mandator y yearlong “Architectural Design” course for theater majors that

requires her to make the trip to New York City.

She said she has to travel at least once ever y other week, which adds up to about 50 trips a year, costing more than $1,000 in travel.

“The trip used to be a weekly requirement, so the issue has been raised and dealt with,” Gourzong said. “In the past three years, [the professor who teaches the course] has cut down as much as he can. He understands it’s a concern, and he’s done all he possibly can.”

Aside from transpor tation costs, students must also pay an entr y fee for many of the galleries and exhibits they have to visit, she said.

Katie Hector, MGSGA treasurer, said the cost of traveling to shows can be a problem.

“Visual arts majors need to see various shows and galleries in New York and be able to name contemporary artists [that] we’re inspired by or interested in. But because of costs, it’s a burden to get to these shows,” said Hector, a Mason Gross School of the Arts sophomore.

Hector said in the Depar tment of Ar t Histor y, professors often require students to visit the Metropolitan Museum of Ar t in New York City and write a research paper on ar twork.

Professors also require students to submit proof that they had gone to the museum through taking pictures of themselves with the artwork, she said.

“Students are so restricted [with] time and funds, so they will try to take shortcuts,” Hector said.

Passengers wait to hop on board the Northeast Corridor line at the New Brunswick Train Station.

The Mason Gross Student Government Association is trying to reduce train ticket prices to New York City.

“So there are all these check points professors use, so there’s no way to get around it.”

Mason Gross School of the Arts Dean George Stauffer suggested a monthly Coach bus as a way to make it more beneficial to students, Gourzong said.

But the group realized it would be impractical because of the size of the program and the infrequency of the bus, she said.

“It wouldn’t have benefited enough students,” Gourzong said.

Another suggestion involved a bus-ticket raffle for students at the Student Activities Center on the College Avenue campus, said Zwierzynski, a Mason Gross School of the Arts senior.

“It’s in the works, but what we’re tr ying to do is provide students a discounted way to travel to New York,” she said.

The best option for the MGSGA and the Mason Gross School of the Arts deans is to find cheaper individual bus or train tickets for students because of the size and complexities of the courses, Gourzong said.

“It adds up really quickly,” Hector said. “Either you pick a day and get everything done in one day, or you end up spending more than $100 in transportation.”

PROJECT STRIVES TO DOCUMENT NEWARK LGBT HISTORY “Queer Newark: Our Voices, Our Histories” kicked off the Queer Newark Oral History Project, an initiative to train the community to document one another’s stories.

At the event three generations of residents and activists of Newark united to illustrate past and present voices of Newark’s lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community, according to a Rutgers Focus article.

“We’ve created an institution that no one can ever erase,” said Darnell Moore, a Newark activist, former associate director of Newark Schools Research

Collaborative and an affiliate of the Institute on Education Law and Policy, in the article. “Our voices will be in someone’s library, in someone’s archive, pushing against invisibility.”

The project aims to recognize the people who are not normally recognized for their efforts as a part of the city’s LGBT community, according to the article.

Organizers of the event found it to be important that past generations share stories of experiences they lived through to the present generation of the LGBT community, according to the article.

“There was a feeling that the history of queer

Newark was vital for the youth of Newark, at least in terms of strengthening and empowering them,” said Ber yl Satter, a professor of histor y at RutgersNewark who launched the project.

Members from Newark’s past generations recounted memories from their youth regarding the city’s view of LGBT and how that view has changed over time, according to the article.

Current members of the LGBT community are able to meet with mentors and local organizations for support, something their elders did not have access to, according to the article.

U NIVERSITY FORUM: Average student prints 400 pages every year continued from front “[An] increasing feeling of disconnectedness at the University wouldn’t seem too far-fetched,” he said.

Qualls said since the University consolidated all its colleges in 2007 to form one institution, new traditions are emerging.

Scott Siegel, RUSA treasurer, asked Vice President for Information Technology and Chief Information Officer Donald Smith if he plans to increase computer printing on campus.

“There are plans to increase printers. At the art histor y museum, [we are] putting a printer in there. In the B.E.S.T dorms, there are printing facilities in there. The new Livingston facility will have printers in there,” he said.

Smith said the University saved millions by creating a threshold of 1,500 printing pages.

On average, students print 400 pages per year, he said. Pages print double-sided by default, and

CASE: Religious leaders ask community to stop violence continued from front She said the community was responsible for the deaths of the youth.

“The Ku Klux Klan never has to march again,” she said.

“We’re killing our own selves.”

Bowser advised the community to take action before the police become involved.

“We need to come together.

We need to take back our streets. We need to police our streets,” she said.

Sharpton said the black population should stop the use of the “n-word,” because it perpetuates a lack of respect.

“Don’t allow yourself to become merchants of negativism, especially by calling [each other] by disrespecting names,” he said. “We must demand that the NBPD respect us, but we must show how we respect each other. It’s also about us.”

United Youth Council Chairman Salaam Ismail said the group held the forum to teach the community about their rights as citizens and to inspire activism concerning what needs to be done in the city.

“This is a teach-in. This is not a town hall meeting. This is not a rally. This is not a speak-out,” he said. “There are exper ts here, to educate [the community] on various dif ferent subject matters.”

Attendees also learned about projects working to reduce gang violence.

T H E DA I LY TA R G U M students must swipe their RUID card for print access.

Another issue presented to McCormick was the recent death of New Brunswick resident Barry Deloatch, who on Sept. 22 was shot after an altercation with New Brunswick police.

“The shooting death that occurred this fall was indeed a tragedy,” he said. “I applaud the concern and the outreach the dialogue they have voiced.

I am deeply concerned about the quality of policing. … I don’t see a role for the leadership of Rutgers in this issue.”

McCormick said there are elected of ficials in New Br unswick who are looking fur ther into the issue. But he said he did not see a role for the University in this case.

RUSA also shared the results of their annual “What’s On Your Mind Month” sur vey, where the University Af fairs Committee collected information throughout the past month to find out the needs and wants of the student body, said RUSA President Matt Cordeiro.

“We find out what sor t of problems they are having, what direction we are going in as a

University … the direction we want to go in and how to get to there,” said Cordeiro, a School of Ar ts and Sciences senior.

Of the 1,993 responses, most who answered were firstyear students and females, with females accounting for 60 percent of responses, Kleiman said.

Questions included how students felt about the capacity on buses, if students received their first choice of housing, how students felt about the quality of study areas, the quality of recreation ser vices and how students bought their books, he said.

Kleiman said the question that concer ned him was one where students were asked whether they felt connected to New Brunswick and its businesses.

On the issue of student connection to New Br unswick community as a whole, 41 percent of those sur veyed disagreed, he said.

“It’s an ongoing effort,” he said. “It’s the third year on the ‘What’s On Your Mind’ sur vey to help guide the administration and help guide RUSA.”

Terr y Murray, founder of the “Streets” project, an organization that tries to re-educate low-income communities, said his son Terr y Murray Jr. was gunned down in 2008 in Elizabeth, N.J., and a suspect was never caught because the community did not speak to the police.

“There was a code of silence on the street. Nobody was going to snitch, and that code

needed to learn what the rules of law are to avoid being wrongly arrested.

“In the event that you are in the situation, if you think the arrest was illegal, even if you do not believe you were rightfully arrested, you can’t resist arrest,” she said. “You need to fight it out in cour t.”

Religious leaders also spoke at the forum and encouraged the community to step up to stop violence in the community.

Rev. Kevin Jones of the Sharon Baptist Church said he was disappointed in the community’s inaction before the shooting of Deloatch. He said the community must keepworking together to enhance the community relations.

“It’s a shame that we have to wait for a tragedy to happen for us to act,” Jones said.

Minister James Muhammad of the Nation of Islam Prison Reform Ministr y in Birmingham, Ala., said individuals spending their money on alcohol and excessive food are wasting the community’s money.

“Gangs do not come out of nothingness. They fill a void that is empty,” he said.

Walter Hudson, a community activist, asked the New Brunswick residents in attendance to use the advice the speakers gave.

“I hope you use the knowledge that is given to you after you leave the church. Do not leave the knowledge,” he said.

“It is empowerment for you to go out into the streets and fight the injustices.”

“Do not drop your books in exchange for guns. ... We need to be prospects and not suspects.”

of silence put a criminal back on the streets,” he said.

Elizabeth Police Department Detective Daren Williamson pushed the community to help the youth to change their focus and idols, including rappers. He said in police-community relations, education is the key to future.

“Do not drop your books in exchange for guns,” Williamson said. “We need to be prospects and not suspects.”

Ohio man charged with attempted assassination THE ASSOCIATED PRESS BOISE, Idaho — An Idaho man accused of firing an assault rifle at the White House believed he was Jesus and thought President Barack Obama was the Antichrist, according to cour t documents and those who knew him. At one point, he even suggested to an acquaintance the president was planning to implant computer tracking chips into children.

Oscar Ramiro Or tegaHernandez, 21, was charged Thursday with attempting to assassinate the president or his staff. He is accused of firing nine rounds at the White House last Friday night — one of them cracking a window of the first family’s living quarters — when Obama and the first lady were away. If convicted, Ortega faces up to life in prison.

Or tega was arrested Wednesday at a western Pennsylvania hotel when a desk clerk there recognized him and called police.

Or tega’s public defender, Christopher Brown, declined comment after his first court hearing in Pennsylvania.

Ortega’s mother has said he has no histor y of mental illness, though when authorities were looking for him, they reported he had “mental health issues.”

In Idaho Falls, where Ortega is from, a computer consultant told The Associated Press that the two met July 8 after Ortega asked for help editing a 30minute infomercial. Monte McCall said that during the meeting at Or tega’s family’s Mexican restaurant, Or tega pulled out worn sheets of yellow paper with handwritten notes and started to talk about his predictions that the world would end in 2012.

“He said, ‘Well, you know the president is getting ready to make an announcement that they’re going to put GPS chips in all the children, so they’re safe,’” McCall said. “... And then he said, ‘That’s just what the Antichrist is going to do to mark ever ybody.’”

Kimberly Allen, the mother of Ortega’s former fiancée, said he had been well-mannered and kind in the four years she had known him. But he recently began making statements to her daughter that were out of character, including that he believed he was Jesus. Allen said the family was worried when he went to Utah recently, where he said he had business, and didn’t come back. Ortega’s family repor ted him missing Oct. 31.

Allen said they were flabbergasted to hear he was wanted in Washington.

“I believe that the boy needs help,” said Allen, of Shelley, Idaho.

Her daughter, Jessica Galbraith, was engaged to Ortega and is the mother of their 2-year-old son. She declined to comment Thursday except to say: “I love him, and I’m here for him.”

City council discusses restaurant regulations

BY DANIEL GARBER CONTRIBUTING WRITER

New Brunswick City Council addressed issues over the Tropicana Bar and Grill on Wednesday night, as the establishment’s owner and neighbors debated the imposed restrictions.

Residents questioned its status as a restaurant and asked the council to maintain noise restrictions and police presence at the 2 Georges Rd. building.

The city implemented special conditions on the establishment in July, Assistant City Attorney T.K. Shamy said. Music is to be turned off at midnight, and extraduty officers are stationed outside the Tropicana from 10 p.m. to 2:30 a.m. on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays.

“The council wanted to find out how the restrictions have

worked due to the concerns of residents in the area,” Shamy said.

Harry Ayala, Tropicana manager, complained about the negative effects of police presence and the music curfew on business.

“Since we have had the restrictions, it’s changed 100 percent,” Ayala said. “People start leaving when we turn the music off. … We cannot keep our business with this restriction.”

Detective Michael DeBonis praised the results of the restrictions but questioned the Tropicana’s classification as a restaurant.

“I’m viewing this as a success to the neighborhood because of a decrease in calls … but [the Tropicana] is in my opinion being marketed ver y aggressively as a tavern or club,” DeBonis said.

He said the frequent occurrences of intoxicated customers

leaving the Tropicana disrupted the residents living nearby.

Neighborhood residents generally supported the restrictions and suggested Tropicana be marketed as a bar.

“I can tell you that the restrictions have made the neighborhood quieter in the early hours of the morning,” said neighborhood resident Maria Pellerano. “I am just asking that you continue them and make them permanent because our neighborhood is not zoned for a tavern.”

But some believe the Tropicana owners should have expected the consequences. “[They should have known] the wisdom of setting up a bar in a neighborhood that’s not zoned for a bar,” said Peter Montague, a neighborhood resident. “It’s not up to the neighbors to bail them out by allowing the quality of life in the

neighborhood to be degraded so that they can make a few dollars.”

Steven Gomez, a member of the Tropicana management, said the restrictions are bound to shut down the company.

“At midnight, when the music is turned off, the customers all leave and find another bar,” Gomez said.

Council President Robert Racine said there were many instances of complaints.

“Evidently, it’s not just [Montague]. There are other people as well … you can’t be calling them liars, [that] they don’t hear this music,” Racine said.

The council also tabled the sidewalk bicycling ordinance with plans to reintroduce it at a future date. The ordinance would reinstitute a ban on sidewalk cycling. It was introduced in 1893 before being eliminated last year unknow-

ingly along with another ordinance regarding bike registration.

“There’s some further information we’re gathering. … The ordinance is going to be changed a lot more than what was originally there,” Racine said.

Possible changes to the ordinance include the issues of age restrictions for cycling on the College Avenue and Cook/Douglass campuses, Racine said.

Community organizer Charlie Kratovil presented a number of concerns to the council as well, including the absence of video recording and broadcasting the council meetings.

“We all are aware that many towns broadcast their city council and Board of Education meetings on cable television. … The city has continually refused to do so,” Kratovil said.

PERTH AMBOY CELEBRATES PUERTO RICAN DISCOVERY, HERITAGE “The Puerto Rican Discover Day” celebration last night marked the beginning of a three-day event in Perth Amboy that aims to celebrate Puerto Rican heritage through a variety of activities such as music, film and art exhibits.

The Puerto Rican Association for Human Development Inc. will host the series of celebrations on Saturday, in honor of the discovery of the country, according to a mycentraljersey.com article.

A screening of “The Legacy of 21,” a film based on the life of late Puerto Rican baseball player Roberto Clemente and featured interviews with former and current baseball players, was shown last night at the Alexander Jankowski Community Center in Perth Amboy, according to the article.

Festivities will continue on Friday with “Celebrando Nuestro Cultura,” or celebrating our culture, a musical

festival at the center that will also include art and poetry, according to the article.

There will be a Mass held at 9 a.m. on Sunday, the last day of celebration, at the Our Lady of Fatima Church on Smith Street followed by a Puerto Rican flag-raising ceremony at noon at the Perth Amboy City Hall Circle near the intersection of High and Market Streets, according to the article.

Week in review: laurels and darts

W

hen President Barack Obama campaigned in 2008, one of the criticisms raised against him was the assertion that he was an elitist who was disconnected from the American people. Herman Cain seems to be taking strides to assure that the same accusation will not be made against him. At a campaign event in New Hampshire, the Republican presidential candidate reportedly announced, “We need a leader, not a reader.” Cain made the statement as an attempt to defend his poor job of demonstrating his foreign police knowledge. According to The Associated Press, Cain believes “the president does not need to know every detail about every country.” He may not need to know every detail, but he should make an effort to know as much as possible. We give Cain a dart for defending his ignorance instead of owning up to his flaws. *

As Thanksgiving rapidly approaches, so does the holiday’s less heartwarming, money-draining brother, Black Friday. While some brave — or possibly insane — shoppers love the rush of standing in line at midnight, waiting for the outlet mall to open, this is not a universal feeling. In response to a Tampa, Fla., Best Buy’s decision to open at midnight for Black Friday, store employee Rick Melaragni has posted a petition on Change.org condemning the store for putting profits before people and preventing its employees from enjoying a full Thanksgiving holiday with their families. In the words of Melaragni’s petition, “All Americans should be able to break bread with loved ones and get a good night’s rest on Thanksgiving.” We give Melaragni a laurel for rallying against one of America’s biggest flaws: letting greed get the best of us, even during the holiday season. *

Gov. Chris Christie regrettably resorted to the slippery-slope fallacy on Wednesday night when speaking out against Obama’s health care reforms. Speaking at the University of Delaware, Christie suggested that the health care reform could lead the government down the road into micromanaging the lives of its citizens, asking, “What’s next? I am mandated to eat broccoli?” Christie is usually far better than this when it comes to tackling issues he dislikes head-on. It is rare to see him resort to these weak, illogical games when he is on the offensive. We give Christie a dart for his remarks. If our governor is going to criticize health care reform, we expect him to do so intelligently. *

Jamie Tworkowski, who spoke Tuesday night to a group of students at the Rutgers Student Center on the College Avenue campus, has been working to promote his vision of a world free of depression, addiction and self-hate. He is the founder of the nonprofit movement To Write Love on Her Arms and has spent most of the past five years spreading his message of hope in the face of struggle. Nearly 20 million individuals suffer from depression in the United States, Tworkowski cites. He adds that depression is the leading cause of suicide, and suicide itself is the third leading cause of death. As college students deal with the daily tumults associated with classes, relationships and financial situations — life in general — it’s important to realize many of our own peers may be struggling with such issues. We give Tworkowski a laurel for founding the movement and urging anyone who may be struggling with depression or addiction to seek help.

To Write Love on Her Arms may be the place to start. *

The list of green card holders currently journeying on that long road to citizenship in New Jersey may come as a surprise to many — 400,000, according to Anastasia Mann, program director for the Eagleton Institute of Politics’ Program on Immigration and Democracy. In an effort to make this list just a bit shorter, the Institute recently held its first citizenship ceremony, naturalizing a total of 34 candidates from Middlesex and Somerset counties. We applaud the Institution’s efforts in assisting this process. Though we here at the University may sometimes take for granted our status as home to one of the most diverse communities of students in the nation, it’s important to realize that the state in which we reside also shares this characteristic. The University community, as well as the state, is a melting pot of cultures, ethnicities, backgrounds and traditions — and with about one-quarter of New Jersey’s residents being foreign-born, we have only these individuals to thank for this standout diversity. The Institute, as well as all those who participated in the ceremony, deserves a laurel. Despite our differences, it’s nice to be united under one common name — we’re all Americans.

U. groups promote kindness by feeding hungry Letter WILLIAM EASTMAN ne of the greatest lessons I have learned at this University has been the meaning of kindness.

To put it as simply as I now understand it — being nice is the surface and being kind is the deeper level of concern for others. A kind person is someone who genuinely cares for the wellbeing and happiness of others and demonstrates it through his or her actions. It is not others’ perception of them that compels kind people, but rather the desire for the betterment of themselves and others that is their compulsion to act on their kindness. To tell some-

O

one to have a great day is nice but to hope that it comes true is kind. Kindness is not merely doing what we would comfortably do, but also going out of our way for others. Inspired by the principals of kindness, Rutgers Shalom/Salaam, the Muslims Against Hunger Project, Rutgers Hillel and the Pakistani Student Association would like to invite you to “The People of Abraham United Against Hunger,” which is an inter faith community ser vice event in which Christians, Muslims and Jews will prepare hundreds of meals for the hungr y and learn more about each other’s faiths. Abraham, the first monotheist, was known for his remarkable kindness — he even

has inspired so much of their faiths. We encourage anyone, regardless of religion, to join us in this undertaking this Sunday, Nov. 20, at the Muslim Foundation Inc. Mosque at 47 Cedar Grove Lane in Somerset off Easton Avenue. From 8 to 11:30 a.m., we will be preparing the food for the homeless.

After wards, we will provide lunch and hear from various speakers as they describe the importance of topics such as charity and prayer. Later, we will bring the food to various locations to feed the hungr y.

The event starts early but do not be deterred — we are happy to have students show up for as long as they can and whenever they can, as there

will be various programming happening during the day. If you can provide any cold weather clothing for the homeless, it would be greatly appreciated as the winter is rapidly approaching. If you need a ride from campus please email r utgersshalomsalaam@gmail.com or enter your information into our website at rushalomsalaam.weebly.com/people-ofabraham-united-againsthunger.html We must work together with deeper kindness to achieve deeper understanding.

William Eastman is a School of Arts and Sciences senior majoring in political science with a minor in general history.

COMMENT OF THE DAY “I find it in poor taste that someone would claim RUSA doesn’t work on student issues when the representative in question hasn’t brought forth the concerns they mentioned.

MATCHUP: Cowboy lineup features NCAA Champ continued from back cocky or anything like that, but you have to have some kind of confidence in yourself, especially when I’m looking at a national title.”

He has to earn a spot on the podium first, something two Cowboy wrestlers can already claim.

Parks finished fifth at the NCAA Championships last season, while 133-pound junior Jordan Oliver won the national title with a dominant trek through his bracket.

“That kid’s on a whole other level than anyone else in the country,” said Rutgers head coach Scott Goodale. “He’s the national champ, and he’s thinking about the Olympic games next year. It’s a good opportunity to wrestle the best guy in the country, maybe the best pound-forpound wrestler in the country.”

Every member of the Knights lineup will be tested, and only two will be favored.

Junior Scott Winston out-ranks Oklahoma State sophomore Dallas Bailey by three spots at 165 pounds, but “even that’s a toss-up,” Goodale said.

Junior Gregory Zannetti wrestles in the only weight class the Cowboys do not have a ranked wrestler: 174 pounds.

It is the type of challenge Rutgers sought when it reached out to Oklahoma State after last season’s national tournament and entered a four-year contract with one of only two teams to have a representative at the tournament in every weight class.

“What else do you want?”

Goodale said. “It’s the highest level of Division I wrestling.”

ALEX VAN DRIESEN / STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER

Freshman forward JP Correa dribbles past Colgate defenders last night, when he scored the game-winning goal in the 81st minute.

The goal gave the Knights a 3-1 lead before they added to their tally with a Colgate own-goal and allowed a goal in the 89th minute.

GOAL: RU grabs momentum with opening goal in 22nd minute continued from back The Knights first got on the board when senior midfielder Br yant Knibbs sent a laser from 21 yards out that snuck just under the crossbar for the goal.

Colgate midfielder Steven Miller, the Raiders’ leading scorer, responded just two minutes later, when he capitalized on a

Rutgers turnover to knot the score at 1.

“Getting on the board first definitely helps us get out and get the momentum star ted,” Knibbs said. “After we score though we need to come out even harder. We would be even better if we kill the minutes after we score.”

Aside from the two goals, the first half was characterized by near misses and missed opportunities.

Donigan and Co. breathed a sigh of relief after Miller sent a

ball wide left of an open goal only a minute after his gametying goal. The Raiders’ next attempt on goal was more on target, but junior goalkeeper Kevin McMullen got his fingertips on the shot to make the save.

On the other side of the field, a shot on goal in the 28th minute by Correa barely touched the goal line before Colgate goalkeeper Grant Reed knocked it away.

“I thought the first 15 minutes we played great and we were really taking it to them,”

Bourdeau said. “After that, we sort of lost the game a little bit.”

But the Knights survived and have a short turnaround to take on fourth-seeded Boston College.

“I know [Boston College coach] Eddy Kelly very well. He has always had great teams and this year is no different,” Donigan said. “They are a very dangerous, very capable team.

But they are no different from anything else we have faced this year. As a player and as a coach, this is what you thrive for — to be in that kind of environment in that kind of game.”

Oliver also continues her push on the glass, averaging 9.5 on the season.

after Miller recorded two steals — one in the frontcourt — and Rutgers (2-1) forced a 10-second violation.

The visitors took only 21 shots in the second half, compared to Rutgers’ 21 second-half makes. Sacred Heart also suffered 22 turnovers. “[Miller] should be the leader,” Rice said. “He just went and said, ‘This is what upperclassmen do.’

He literally lifted us up.”

The Knights offense finally emerged in the second half, as well.

Six players scored in double figures, the team’s highest total by far through three games and its first since December 2005. Only Miller, sophomore Austin Carroll and freshman Eli Carter scored at least 10 points in a game entering the contest.

Rutgers still struggled initially to put an inferior opponent away at home. It held a 14-point lead after beginning the second half with a 224 run, but the Pioneers kept themselves within reach before the Knights’ talent ultimately took over.

“For a minute, it felt like the game against Miami where we

weren’t really focused and locked in,” Miller said. “Then at one point everybody started to play hard.

The harder we played, the more focused we got.”

At some points the Knights could do nothing wrong.

Freshman point guard Jerome Seagears returned from an ankle injury to track down a loose ball and make a spot-up 3-pointer. He converted a finger roll while falling away from the basket on a foul. And Biruta’s early foul trouble did not cost the Knights for the first time.

Still, during other stretches there was no cure, despite an 11player rotation at Rice’s disposal.

Carter and Seagears combined for 16 points in the first 20 minutes, but the Knights could not mount a consistent offensive attack during the stretch.

Rutgers trailed by eight points in the first stanza, failing to rebound immediately following its first loss of the season Tuesday at Miami (Fla.).

The Knights were some parts stagnant, other parts shaky and all parts unpredictable. But after 40 minutes they were again victors.

“We finally got to playing together as a team,” said Seagears, the team leader with 17 points.

“There were definitely some growing pains, but it’s about that time for us to succeed.”

A Colgate goal in the closing moments did not matter, as an insurance goal by freshman for ward JP Correa and a Colgate own goal after the penalty kick effectively clinched victor y for the Knights.

“The penalty kick — that can be decided by whoever. But that penalty kick obviously changed the entire complexion of the game,” said head coach Dan Donigan. “It gave us the chance to kind of take a breath and start to manage the game a little better.

[Colgate] is a ver y good side, and that PK is ver y impactful.”

Penalty goal helps send RU to Boston

BY VINNIE MANCUSO CORRESPONDENT

The Rutgers men’s soccer team had to scratch and claw to earn enough respect for their at-large bid before last night’s first round NCAA Tournament matchup against Colgate at Yurcak Field.

It seemed only fitting the goal that propelled the Scarlet Knights (10-6-3, 6-1-2) past the first round was their first penalty kick of the year.

The penalty goal came after a Colgate defender shoved sophomore Kene Eze to the ground inside the 18-yard box. Senior

Nate Bourdeau stepped up to take the free kick and buried it into the left corner of the net.

The Knights added two more scores following Bourdeau’s goal to beat Colgate, 4-2, and advance to a second-round matchup Sunday at Boston College.

“The penalty kick definitely turned the tide a little bit. It definitely took the wind out of their sails,” Bourdeau said. “The guys on the other team were kind of talking, tr ying to get in my head, but you don’t want to listen to that. You have to imagine you are at practice and no one is watching you.”

Mason gets long-awaited matchup at Oklahoma State

Second-ranked Jamal Parks, top, of Oklahoma State earned All-American honors last season and will face Rutgers’ fourth-ranked Mario Mason tonight in Stillwater, Okla.

Mario Mason calls it the matchup that never happened.

Dating back to high school, Mason and his South Jersey coach, John Johnson, wanted Mason to wrestle Tulsa, Okla., native Jamal Parks at a national WRESTLING tournament.

It never hapRUTGERS AT pened.

OKLAHOMA STATE, Mason wanted to TONIGHT, 8 P.M. meet Parks again last year in the NCAA Tournament, but with their spots on opposite sides of the 149-pound bracket, it would require Mason matching Parks’ march to the final eight and All-American honors.

That did not happen, either.

They finally meet tonight, when the 16thranked Rutgers wrestling team takes on Parks and No. 3 Oklahoma State in Stillwater, Okla. “[Johnson] always thought [Parks] was a talented wrestler and wanted to see the match,”

Mason said. “He didn’t have doubts in me winning the match then, and now he’s still coaching me and still wants to see how it goes. I plan on coming out and winning.”

Mason consistently ranked Nos. 1 or 2 in the nation as he won four state championships at Blair Academy. Parks consistently ranked Nos. 3 or 4 while he won three Oklahoma state titles.

Those rankings are reversed now, as Parks enters the matchup ranked second nationally and Mason fourth.

Mason wrestled once at Oklahoma State’s Gallagher-Iba Arena, where the Cowboys wrestled for the more than 60 years, while he was at Minnesota.

He is excited to return to the 13, 611-seat arena, but he is equally excited to follow last weekend’s 149-pound title at the Brockport/Oklahoma Gold Classic with the toughest matchup on his schedule.

“I have full confidence that I’m coming out and winning the match,” Mason said. “That’s how you have to look at it. I don’t want to sound
