Operator directs buses following RUPD accident BY AMY ROWE NEWS EDITOR

In response to the Sept. 19 accident that involved a Rutgers University Police Department car hitting a University student, administrators in the Department of Transportation Services are rethinking the way buses operate at the Scott Hall bus stop on College Avenue. Wesley Thompson, an operations manager for First Transit, the company that provides the University buses, began directing buses approaching Scott Hall yesterday afternoon to stay to the left. “We wanted to kind of create a safety zone with our buses,” he said. “We hold them back here, you know, because the line of cars and buses won’t be inclined to go around through the crosswalk.” Jack Molenaar, director of the Department of Transportation Services, was also out yesterday afternoon surveying the area. “We’re just making sure that the buses don’t create a sight-distance problem,” he said. “We want to see if there’s anything that we’re doing that caused [the accident] … we came out here and saw that our buses probably weren’t doing it the best way.” Around 5:30 p.m. on Sept. 19, an RUPD officer struck a student from Wayne with his car while on duty. Recordings of the incident include the student screaming loudly while the officer said the victim “just jumped between buses and hit the patrol car.” He immediately called for an ambulance and leg splint to the scene, according to New Brunswick Today. The New Brunswick Police Department is investigating the accident, but NBPD spokesman Capt. J.T. Miller was unavailable for comment before press time. University spokesman Greg Trevor told New Brunswick Today the student was hospitalized at Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital with a leg injury, as of Sept. 21. Molenaar said his department is considering other options for the area, especially because in a little less than a year, construction will begin on Lot 8 for a building that includes retail and residential space. “This is an opportunity … to look at even a total physical re-do of the road, and not just temporary measures,” he said. “You have to take advantage of construction opportunities.”

RUSA hosts top U. administrator Richard L. Edwards, vice president for Academic Affairs, answers assembly members’ questions BY HANNAH SCHROER STAFF WRITER

Richard L. Edwards, vice president for Academic Affairs, said he predicts a higher standing for the University following its incorporation of three University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey institutions during yesterday’s Rutgers University Student Assembly meeting. Edwards was the School of Social Work dean before he was asked to serve as vice president for Academic Affairs. He said he expects the addition of the Robert Wood Johnson Medical School, the Cancer Institute of New Jersey and the UMDNJ School of Public Health. “The merger will increase the Rutgers brand across the globe,” Edwards said.

The University ranks 58 among research colleges in terms of expenditures, he said, and with the addition of UMDNJ, it will move up in position into the 20s. The University budget will increase from $2.1 billion to more than $3 billion, incorporating UMDNJ revenues to make up the difference, Edwards said. The University is balancing the arts and humanities with science and technology to keep the traditional liberal arts focus of the University as the UMDNJ merger goes through. “We’re very strong in [philosophy, English and history],” Edwards said. He said the University’s strong points would not be ignored because it is easier to lose strength in a field than it is to gain. While the UMDNJ merger had nothing to do with University tuition increases and

will not contribute to potential future upturns, Edwards said tuition could still increase regardless. “We have to find ways to get involved with the private sector,” Edwards said, citing opportunities for collaborative relationships within the pharmaceutical companies. The decreasing amount of state support makes public-private partnership necessary to raise money independently of government funding, he said. Yet even as the University shifts to the public-private mindset, Edwards said administrators will continue to fight for legislation concerning state-related issues. “We’re getting less … of our University budget from the state right now, and we’re not going to get any more,” Edwards said. Sometimes it is more effective to be part of a coalition that has a stronger presence, he said. SEE

Mason Gross, NJPAC to host theater training intensive Program to allow Broadway casting directors to give performers advice BY JUSTINA OTERO CONTRIBUTING WRITER

For the first time, students can participate in “You Need to be on Broadway: The One Day Musical Theater Intensive,” co-hosted by the Mason Gross School of the Arts Extension Division and the New Jersey Performing Arts Center this Saturday on Douglass campus. Per forming ar ts students will sing and complete a mock audition in front of Broadway casting directors and other industr y professionals, according to Alistair Williams, assistant director of the extension division.

“This is a great opportunity, having these casting directors come from New York to see these young performers and give them feedback. Many of these students may never have this experience unless they waited in long lines and had years and years of auditioning,” Williams said. He said networking in the entertainment industry is valuable, especially with others who are around the same age group. Briana Pendergrass, a Mason Gross School of the Arts junior, said because the University does not have a musical theater program, this program provides student actors, dancers and singers a training opportunity.

“It gives us an opportunity to meet the people coming to teach. We’re getting training from the best and since they are in the business, they are able to answer our questions and help us move forward,” Pendergrass said, one of the 40 students participating in the program. Student interns from Rutgers Future Scholars — a program which offers promising and economically disadvantaged students from New Brunswick High School and Piscataway High School free tuition upon graduation and acceptance to the University — planned the intensive theater-training event, Williams said. At the end of the internship, students put together more than 50 pages of work, in addition to PowerPoint presentations they presented on the

last day of the internship, Williams said. “Those students had absolutely no idea what they were getting themselves into,” he said. “I think after the first day they began to understand that they had a lot of work to do. I worked them to the bone.” He said the administration was blown away by how much the students came up with in just a week of the internship. “They were phenomenal,” Williams said. “To accomplish all that in just that small amount of time was probably inspiring for them, but more inspiring for me. They worked really hard and now we have a phenomenal event on Saturday to celebrate.” Alessandra Sperling, senior administrative assistant for the Rutgers Writing Program, also helped develop the event.

“I loved working with Alistair and the scholars,” Sperling said. “They are an incredible group of young students, and I just really appreciate and respect what Alistair is doing.” The event is named after a book Williams is writing about attaining success in performing arts and learning about the business aspects of the industry. Williams said the purpose of this project is to bridge the gap between the performers and those in the professional world, as well as to show students what they can do to excel and thrive in their careers. “That is really what we are looking to do, to expose all the students to what the standard is when it comes to this profession,” he said. “If people are spending money to come out and learn about musical theater, these are the people who are really looking to excel.”

IN BRIEF U. STUDIO BECOMES SEMI-FINALIST AT COMPETITION Students from the University’s Department of Landscape Architecture received an Award of Excellence for their participation in a national student design competition sponsored by the Van Alen Institute and the U.S. National Park Service. The University Landscape Architecture Praxis Studio was a semi-finalist at the competition out of the 41 studios chosen, according to University Media Relations. Kate John-Alder, assistant professor in the Department of Landscape Architecture, said the objective was to create a “Park for the People” that allows the public to appreciate economic and environmental advances. “Throughout the semester students worked collaboratively with each other, and when the need arose, with faculty members from other departments at the school to understand the site’s natural and cultural history,” she said. Fourteen students made up of juniors, seniors, and second-year graduate students enrolled and began their designs last spring for the studio.

PROFESSOR STUDIES BURNED OUT NURSES Jeannie Cimiotti, associate professor at the University’s College of Nursing researched that the “burnout” nurses experience is related to how often patients have infections when staying at a hospital, according to University Media Relations. “Burnout” is a condition caused by the stress associated with the job of nursing. Cimiotti measured nurse burnout using a theory that relates burned-out nurses to emotional exhaustion. The findings are clinically significant because it could help reduce the number of infections, she told media relations.

STUDENTS Tello was unaware of undocumented status until age 16 CONTINUED FROM FRONT she was undocumented made her feel lost and confused during the Rutgers University Student Assembly-sponsored event, “Undocumented and Unafraid,” yesterday in the Rutgers Student Center. Despite being told to set lofty goals all her life, she now feels excluded and denied those opportunities. She is co-chair of United We Dream, an organization that aims to strategize, organize and connect with immigrants on a national level. Undocumented immigrants like Campos do not have the opportunity to drive, work legally or pay in-state tuition at local community colleges, she said. “In 2008 we were able to create United We Dream, our national network of undocumented immigrant youth,” she said. Campos said the fear of being taken away from her family and deported at any time was crippling, but the national connection empowered the network of undocumented youth like never before.

DO YA LIKE?

“[You] can be deported at any time,” she said. “You can be dragged out of your home and taken to a detention center and be treated like an animal. Like a criminal, in the place that you call home.” Through communicating one another’s stories and allying with other national movements, like the LGBT movement, Campos said United We Dream became a united front. “Based upon this love, support and potentially encouraging storytelling, we’ve been able to build power,” she said. “We’ve been able to build skills.” Giancarlo Tello, a RutgersNewark student affiliated with the New Jersey Dream Act Coalition, said he shares Campos’s experience of growing up unknowingly undocumented. Tello said his parents moved to the United States from Peru in 1996, when he was 6 years old, because there were few opportunities there. He said he grew up like a normal American student living in Hackensack, N.J., and went to school locally through high school. When he was 16-years-old, Tello wanted to apply for his learner’s permit but did not know his Social Security number. When he asked his mother, she told him he was undocumented,

Tello said. But he did not really understand the implications. It was not until he needed to fill out college applications that the problem arose again and he asked his mother what to do. “‘Mom, what do I put here’ — and she said, ‘I don’t know,’” Tello said. “‘Mom, can I go to college?’ and she said, ‘I don’t know.’” Tello went to community college and never disclosed his Social Security number, but had to pay international tuition, three times the cost of regular tuition rates, he said. “I started working through whatever means I could,” he said, “I can’t work legally — without a social you can’t work legally — but what I did was private tennis lessons [and] computer repair.” Tello said he wanted in-county tuition rates because he works and pays taxes and the college told him his rates would be modified. Even after his rate was changed, Tello said it made him think about how many undocumented students are too afraid to demand lower rates like he did, which inspired him to get involved with NJDAC and organize other undocumented youth to build a support network. Kent Wong, director of the UCLA Center of Labor Studies, works with organizations like NJDAC and United We Dream to organize undocumented students.

Sofia Campos, co-chair of United We Dream, tells her personal story as an undocumented student yesterday at the Rutgers Student Center. NOAH WHITTENBURG, PHOTOGRAPHY EDITOR Wang said the 2 million undocumented immigrants in this country include students who feel like they grew up as American citizens until the time comes to apply for college. “These students, under the law, the K-12 system treats them like regular students,” he said. “But like Giancarlo, like Sofia, once they graduate from high school their world abruptly turns upside down.” Wang said “Underground Undergrads,” a book put together by his students at UCLA, was made up of pseudonyms and shaded photos because the atmosphere toward undocumented immigrants in 2008 was more negative. “Undocumented and Unafraid,” a new book on undocumented youth out of UCLA, is more open

and contains real names and stories, he said. A confidence directly derived from the growth of the undocumented youth movement. “Many of the book events held on college campuses all over the country [were] the first time that undocumented movement students could come together in a safe place and identify each other and allies on campus who could support in building this movement,” he said. Campos said the movement was empowering and the feeling of a safe haven was key in fighting for more progress. “The power, that love and support that we’ve been able to build in our movement can produce real results and real change and real progress,” she said.

RUSA Edwards to meet with RUSA on regular basis, he says CONTINUED FROM FRONT Edwards said he is committed to meeting with RUSA on a monthly basis to keep communication open with students so that they have a positive outlet to address concerns. RUSA allocated $93,675 in special events funding for the 2012-2013 academic year, said Emmi Morse, chair of RUSA allocations. Morse said all nine groups that approached RUSA for special events funding received it after criteria was met. Other matters were discussed as Stefany Farino, a School of Arts and Science senator-at-large, introduced a resolution at the meeting supporting tuition equality legislation for undocumented students living in New Jersey. “If you are undocumented you can get a pin number and pay taxes like everybody else,” said Farino, a School of Arts and Sciences junior. The problem is that students can go through the public school system in New Jersey, yet still be ineligible for in-state college tuition, she said. Farino said the resolution also calls on University

ACTION Applicants must be under 31 and prove they entered by 16 CONTINUED FROM FRONT without documentation the possibility of prolonging their stay and receiving work authorization, said Joanne Gottesman, clinical associate professor of law at Rutgers-Camden. She said President Barack Obama’s administration is supporting the policy in an attempt to realize his “Development, Relief, and Education for Alien Minors,” a piece of legislation that would have given legal status to young immigrants. Gottesman said she is eager to inform the public of the benefits and dangers that come along with the policy. She said it is important for people who might be eligible to know they could be eligible because they could benefit from this program. “But it’s also important for people to be aware of some red flags, because they are going to be bringing themselves to the attention of the federal government by applying, so that’s something you have to do carefully,” she said. Applicants must be under the age of 31 as of June 15, 2012, and provide proof they were under the age of 16 upon entry, Gottesman said. An applicant with a felony conviction or without a high school diploma will not be considered under DACA. Napolitano opened the window for eligible undocumented immigrants to apply for deferred deportation on Aug. 15. The government has already received about 72,000 applications, according to the Associated Press. But DACA is not a law, Gottesman said. It is simply a memo the government could shred whenever it pleases. “It wouldn’t even require a change in administration,” she said. “This administration could decide

President Robert L. Barchi to support student government and represent the University in supporting the legislation. “Every college or university in New Jersey is trying to get [this] support from their president,” Farino said. The RUSA members passed the resolution unanimously. RUSA also introduced a bill endorsing the “Honest Budgets Now” Campaign, which is headed by New Jersey United Students. The campaign works at the state level to pass legislation requiring all New Jersey public universities to release their full budget to the public 30 days prior to its approval, said Spencer Klein, RUSA off-campus senator and NJUS president. The University Board of Governors is currently not required to release a budget for comments before approving tuition increases, he said. Klein said the campaign is modeled after recent legislation passed in California that required the BOG to undergo the same 30day plan. Passing the legislation is important for University students because tuition increases often determine whether students can go to school or afford housing, Klein said. “There’s not a great deal of budget transparency from the administration to students,” Klein said.

they don’t want to pursue the policy tomorrow, and there’s nothing really stopping them.” Napolitano said the federal government is enforcing the laws, according to The New York Times. “I am pleased the Supreme Court confirmed the state laws cannot dictate the federal government’s immigration enforcement policies or priorities,” Napolitano told The New York Times. Eman Salah, a Newark College of Arts and Sciences senior, said she has lost her faith in government and doubts the policy will affect citizenship status. “I don’t know how much government can really step in with that,” said Salah, who has friends that could benefit from these kinds of policies. “The government is so divided right now. I feel like it would be very hard for them to make a decision.” She said legal advice could often be costly, which can affect lowincome families. To alleviate the financial pressure, Gottesman offers a free clinic in the Camden Center for Law and Social Justice to help those in need. Brian Oliveras, a School of Arts and Sciences first-year student, said he wants there to be a sense of equality in the country. “I grew up in Mexico City, seeing the richest men in the world, while at the same time having people living in slums,” said Oliveras, who now works for the Eagleton Institute of Politics. He said the action does not affect those with a criminal record or without a high school diploma. “These people want to contribute to the country, so I don’t see why it would be a problem,” Oliveras said. Gottesman said she is disappointed with the policy’s limited effectiveness. “This is not the DREAM Act,” she said. “The DREAM Act would give people a path to lawful status. It would give them a path to citizenship. This does neither. It’s not a path to anything.”

African-American issues discussed at annual conference BY DOMENIC RUGGERI CONTRIBUTING WRITER

The Rev. Jesse Jackson is among the hundreds coming to New Brunswick this weekend for the New Jersey Black Issues Convention’s 30th Anniversary Leadership Conference at the Hyatt Regency Hotel. The conference, which began Thursday and will end Saturday, aims to raise awareness of issues affecting the AfricanAmerican community and provide opportunities for community members to learn how to improve their lives, said Elease Evans, chair of the board of the directors of the NJBIC. “The main focus is to make sure that ever yone, from our youth up to our elders, comes together once a year to talk about the struggle, the challenge and how we as a group, as African-Americans … progress,” said Evans, a former New Jersey State legislator. Consisting of 30 dif ferent organizations dedicated to the African-American community, the NJBIC is committed to helping the cause of African-Americans statewide, Evans said. The conference was designed to educate specific groups through seminars, workshops and exhibits. Jerome Harris, the 30th conference chairman and former chair of the board of directors of the NJBIC, said

issues affecting AfricanAmericans in general make up the conference theme. “Our polling indicates deep concern about employment, public safety and excitement of the implementation of the Affordable Health Care Act, and what it means for health and wellness in our community. … We’re also advocating voter participation, people knowing their rights and being prepared to exercise them,” he said. Harris said the turnout at the conference has been growing each year. He expects about 1,200 people to attend this year’s event, which is open to ever yone. Evans said the convention boasts a wide array of notable people, including Senate President Stephen Sweeney, DN.J., Sen. Robert Menendez, DN.J., and Jackson. Jackson was awarded the Lifetime Achievement Award Thursday for his numerous contributions to the AfricanAmerican community and his advocacy for public policy issues affecting African-Americans, Harris said. “Rev. Jackson represents a significant body of work, and we think he should be recognized,” he said. The conference’s opening day focused on senior citizens, kicking of f the lineup with a symposium on issues related to aging.

IN BRIEF MAN KILLED IN RESTAURANT SHOOTING

CHRISTIE MAKES VETO THREAT

A broad daylight shooting broke out inside a restaurant in Newark’s West Ward Thursday morning, killing one and injuring two others, according to nj.com. A man walked into the restaurant after 10 a.m. and shot two men who were eating breakfast. A stray bullet hit an 81-year-old woman—the mother of the restaurant’s owner, according to nj.com One of the two men was killed while the other was brought to the hospital in critical condition. The owner’s mother was also taken to the hospital and is recovering, according to nj.com. Newark Mayor Cor y Booker was giving a speech to a crowd when he was told about the shooting, according to nj.com. He said people would react by asking for more police and prisons when they should be asking for schools and better education. “I have to leave now and get the phone with my police director, because just a matter of minutes ago, right before I walked in, what happened— more of our kids shot our kids,” he told the crowd, according to nj.com.

Gov. Chris Christie made attacks targeted at Democrats in a speech to business leaders Thursday, claiming he will veto all new spending until taxes are cut, according to an article on nj.com. “Let me tell you something, this supplemental spending, they might as well keep it in their pockets,” he said to hundreds during the annual Southern New Jersey Chamber of Commerce luncheon. “It is not happening. Not under any circumstances. They want to pass bills that spend more money.” Christie singled out eight bills that he plans to veto, including one aimed at reimbursing municipalities with several tax-exempt cemeteries that would cost the state $66 million, according to the article. Tom Hester Jr., spokesman for the Assembly Democrats, said Christie is striking down beneficial bills, according to nj.com. “Based on the governor’s comments, he’s apparently opposed to enhanced domestic violence protections, improved child safety, protecting the disabled from discrimination, finding jobs for veterans and protecting South Jersey residents from the adverse impacts of dredging,” he told nj.com. Christie said the Democrats want to say there is no money to cut taxes but feel the need to spend money on new bills. “You need to call BS on them on this,” he told nj.com.

“We cover a variety of things of interest to seniors, quality health care, social security [and] Medicare. ... We provide information on all of these,” Evans said. The second day of the convention will feature programs aimed at students — specifically, high school students — addressing issues such as education, health and employment. About 500 students are expected to attend from various high

schools around New Jersey, Harris said. Students are also invited to participate in a workshop about personal branding using social media, a topic Evans said is crucial for the modern world. The final day will feature a talk by the Rev. DeForest Soaries, Jr., who was responsible for the Youth Leadership Retreat Initiative, a program that began in 1982 to promote positive youth development, Harris said.

The 2012 conference is the fourth one held in New Brunswick, Harris said. “We move around the state. … We also like to involve the University and students,” he said. Gwendolyn Faison, former mayor of Camden, said she has attended the conference for the past 20 years. “It has always been a very inspirational convention. … All the things you need to know about living are expressed here at the convention,” Faison said. She also said the convention is a great opportunity for youth to gain valuable exposure to important people both in and out of the African-American community. “You get a chance to meet people in authority, holding even political offices ... this is one of the most worthwhile and informative conventions that I have attended,” she said. The conference also presented several vendors and exhibitors, ranging from private individuals selling trinkets and hats to hospital representatives and voting advocates. Barbara James, secretary of the NJBIC board and operator of a voting awareness table, said the conference was a great opportunity to reach the youth and get them interested in voting early. “We want to make certain that they are registered right now,” she said. “We want them to know their rights.”

NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell announced late Wednesday night that the league’s referee lock-out, which has had football fans across the country in a rage for the past three weeks, has finally come to an end. Conveniently, the announcement came just two days after the replacement refs cost Green Bay the game Monday night. Goodell apologized yesterday to fans for the lockout, saying, “We’re sorry to have to put fans through that.” Thanks, but no thanks, Goodell — when you’re pulling replacements for professional referee positions from a lingerie league, you should’ve expected as much. The NFL gets a dart.

For the first time since 2009, the Scarlet Knights football team is ranked among the top 25 teams in the nation. The team comes in at No. 23 in this week’s Associated Press Top 25, and tied for No. 25 in the USA Today/Coaches Top 25. Is it the new uniforms, or Gary Nova’s Olympian-like athletic feats on the field? Either way, the team deserves a laurel for their excellent performance. A “Go RU” seems appropriate for the occasion, but we don’t want to make ourselves sound overly excited, now do we? Keep up the good work, guys.

Speaking of lockouts, NHL players and officials are currently in the throes of one themselves. The leagues lockout, which has had players (millionaires) and the league’s management (billionaires) quarrelling as to who should get which piece of the pie and how big, has already done its first bit of damage. The league announced the cancellation of its preseason this week, costing our beloved NJ Devils three September games and hours of precious ice-time. We dart the NHL for placing profits over pucks.

Mark Gluck, the director of Rutgers’ Memory Disorders Project, was just awarded a $552,307 three-year grant so he can study — wait for it — why sleep makes us cranky. Well thanks, Gluck, but we could have told you that for about one-fifteenth the cost. In all seriousness, though, Gluck’s acquisition of this grant money not only says good things about the University’s commitment to cutting-edge research and talented faculty, but will help us understand more about the effect sleep has on our cognitive and emotional well-being. The project deserves a laurel. We’d just like to add though, if you’re looking for test subjects to sleep 13 hours a day and get paid for it, look no further than this editorial board.

Guess what? The Obama administration was granted permission to continue detaining American citizens and generally anyone who they might find disagreeable indefinitely and without explanation this week, after a federal appeals judge OK’ed the policy for yet another time. Isn’t that great? Don’t you feel just so much safer now? We personally welcome the policy — continued infringements on American civil liberties just make us giddy. For real, though. The Obama administration gets a dart for this.

This week we learned that the University’s Douglass Residential College is extending its reach to, of all places, Busch campus. The college’s latest living-learning community, called “Women in Engineering,” will work to support female engineers on campus. Douglass’ new living-learning community deserves a laurel.

Occupying the honor roll ERIC ANTISELL

tudents for Liberty earlier this year released a satirical video on YouTube titled “Occupy: The Honor Roll.” In it, students took to their campus to promote an initiative that would lessen the disparity between those with high GPAs and those with low GPAs through the use of a redistributive grade system run by their school. It is worth considering the merits of such a program’s institution here at the University. First of all, we must realize that our inheritance is not something we can control. Not every student on the first day of class has been equipped with the same resources as the others. Some students may have gone to outstanding primary and secondary schools, giving them more of the resources needed to succeed in college. Others, through no fault of their own, attended underperforming schools that did not provide them with all the skills and knowledge developed by the more privileged students.

“Is it justified to force someone to be charitable? Does that make me charitable?” Also, some majors are simply easier than others. This means that students with less intensive studies can have an unfair advantage. It is much easier to hold a 4.0 if your major is something like history or sociology than if your major is, say, engineering or a hard science. Those studying more complicated subjects might have lower GPAs than those studying subjects that require less work. Is this fair? Performance in class can also be affected by conditions beyond our control at home. More privileged kids have their parents pay their tuition and personal expenses, making working a job during the semester unnecessary. These kids, simply because of who their parents happen to be, will have more time to devote to studying and school work than others. Holding a 4.0 would be a lot harder if a full-time student had to work 40 hours per week. Similarly, extracurricular duties can change at a moment’s notice during anyone’s academic career. If a student suddenly has to raise a sibling or child at home,

Living across the pond LETTERS FROM LONDON KATIE BRYCK

fter spending only one short week in the city of London, two questions keep running through my head — why have I not come here sooner, and how in God’s name do these people still manage to look so fabulous in the pouring rain? My process of falling in love with this beautiful city was not a slow one, and I believe that, like any great romance, my love will only continue to grow deeper. The big red double-decker buses, clean subway stations, trendy fashion, free museums, architectural brilliance and British accents — what isn’t to love about this city? And however ignorant it may sound, I honestly think that a British accent can even make shouting obscenities sound lovely. What I find to be most mindblowing is that a city so old, cultured and sturdy can simultaneously be so new, changing and edgy. For instance, while walking around the center of the city surrounded by buildings that are older than our country, there was a Socialist Worker Party protesting sexism. There were hundreds of people holding signs that said, “Whatever we wear, where ever we go, yes means yes and no means NO.” It

was crazy to think about how far the country has come since it has been in existence. To me, that was just so cool. After spending one evening getting to know a particularly smart and witty young English man, regretfully I admit, we began talking about politics. Now this is a subject that most friends and family members would agree should be left unspoken, but as they say curiosity killed the cat, and so we chatted. Now I’m no political buff but, with the upcoming election only weeks away I’ve been trying to keep up with the political news. Upon talking, I came to learn that he knew vastly more about American politics than I believe most people who live in the United States would know. He gave me a fully informed and passionate opinion about which candidate he wanted to win the election. It was crazy to me that someone from a foreign country even cared to think about America and its affairs. This struck me because if the tables were turned and we were talking about the political state of England, I think I would have little to say. Another one of my favorite stories is this: When I initially heard that Global Language Monitor crowned London as “The Most Fashionable City in the World” for the second year in a row, I’m not going to lie, I got slightly defensive. I couldn’t

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Distasteful proselytizing Like many students at the Rutgers Student Center bus stop on Tuesday evening, I had the discomfort of having someone’s religious beliefs trumpeted at me through a megaphone. Actually, that happens fairly often. The disagreeable part was when someone literally stood in my path, preventing me from walking, and stuck papers under my nose with some sort of religious propaganda. One man even glared at me and aggressively stated, “You will accept Jesus as your savior.” I’ll make that choice for myself, thank you ver y much. While proselytizing is legal, and there do not seem to be any school policies against it happening on campus, aggressively attempting to impose your religion on another goes against the school’s widely publicized values of diversity and acceptance of differences. How can someone who doesn’t believe in Jesus as their savior feel welcome at the University when groups of people constantly attempt to convince them, loudly and

publicly, that they are going to hell? In addition, yelling your beliefs through a megaphone at a bus stop is, quite frankly, counterproductive. The only thing you’ll accomplish is further destroying college students’ hearing as we raise the volume on our iPods to drown out the noise. A woman approached me about a year ago and asked if I knew anything about the Bible. We then had a ver y pleasant 10-minute discussion about our different perspectives on the Bible and how it impacts our lives, after which she invited me to a Bible learning session. Although I have a completely different belief system and did not plan on attending her learning session, I appreciated the fact that she respected my intelligence enough to engage me in a discussion. Other proselytizers should realize that they’d be much less repellant if they engaged students in meaningful discussions instead of disrupting our peace of mind by screaming through a megaphone.

QUOTE OF THE DAY

“

understand how any city could beat out our own New York City at being fashionable. I mean it is, after all, the “center of the universe.” Well, I can now say that Londoners — they can dress. Generally speaking, people are dressed to the nines at all hours of the day in a ver y fashion-for ward, but not overthe-top manner. Even the children walk around looking like little Suri Cruises. I wore sweatpants to run to the store for some milk yesterday and honestly I felt like I was committing a sin. Regardless, I am already picking up some new fashions to bring back to the states with me in Januar y. Despite the fact that England is technically a foreign country, I feel like London is just as much a melting pot as the east coast is in the United States. I am already meeting so many people from places I’ve never dreamed of going to and I can’t wait to continue my exploration. As I write this I am sitting in Grasburner, Germany at a hotel where only one person speaks English and I really couldn’t be happier. It is safe to say that I have caught the wanderlust bug. Next stop, Oktoberfest.

COMMENTARY

care for an ailing relative, or if they become sick themselves, their grades could end up being considerably lower than those of the more fortunate kids. Of course, it is argued that “greedy” students with higher grades will remain steadfast in their opposition to this program. However, such a program would create a safety net for which even the greedy people will be thankful if they ever find themselves with diminished grades — something, as was established above, could happen at any time. For this reason, proponents will argue, it would be justified to forbid any student from “opting out,” even if they do not give their consent. “What good is consent if it just gets in your way?” proponents of programs like these argue. Redistributed grades would not have to mean that every student would be given the average GPA of the school. It just means that those doing the best would be asked — and if they refuse, removed from college — to give a few points of their GPA to those less fortunate, or else. In other words, someone with a 4.0 would have to give 25 percent of it to the school, and then that would be given to another student getting marks below a set minimum, raising a 1.5 student to a 2.5. It would reduce grade inequality. Some will say that they already put an effort to help their struggling peers in class. Perhaps they have sacrificed studying time to help tutor another student. They will beg the question, “Why must you force me to do this?” Is it justified to force someone to be charitable? Does that make me charitable? We do this all the time with the government’s social welfare programs. The thinking has been something along the lines of, “Why would a wealthy person need all that money while others are starving?” Comparatively, why would you really need a 4.0 when others are failing? This is the similarity Students for Liberty attempted to underline through their initiative. Of course, these questions are purely rhetorical — your personal feelings on the matter are irrelevant, provided you remain in the minority, forever at the mercy of the majority’s rule. And when the majority feels such initiation of force to be justified, the rights and property of the minority can be ignored and violated at the majority’s will. Is this justice?

“We shoot almost every single day to try and work on it,” Cole said of scoring. “I think we are definitely there — it is just a matter of time before it happens.” Crooks also sees the effort, but when it comes to St. John’s, he knows better than anyone else that Rutgers cannot take its opponent lightly. It was only two weeks ago the Knights played their first Big East match of the season at home against Villanova, which sported a 2-4-2 record. The Wildcats upended Rutgers, 2-1, in overtime on a

goal by forward Renee Hart in a game in which the Knights outshot their opponent, 19-7. With the match being the first of four away games for the Knights, Crooks knows how important it is to pick up a win in Queens. “On the road,” Crooks said. “The biggest challenge is that it is at their field. When you are on the road in the league if you can [earn] points, especially three, it is always monumental.” Three points or only one — from a tie — could mean a move up in the league standings, as Rutgers sits in sixth place in the Big East’s National Division. St. John’s is the Knights’ best opportunity of the weekend to gain points and also serves as the ideal team for goalkeeper Emmy Simpkins to return against. The senior went down with an injury against Georgetown on Sept. 16, and Crooks said she is on her way to returning at full strength.

“She trained [Wednesday],” Crooks said. “It was our first full session, and I think she came out of it OK. She appears to be good to go.” Syracuse serves as the other opponent for Rutgers this weekend, with the Orange coming off a 1-0 victory Sunday against Cincinnati. While Syracuse (5-4-2, 2-1-1) is in the middle of pack in terms of scoring in Big East play — it is currently tied for eighth in goals scored and ninth in shots attempted — Crooks sees it as a big weekend for a team that still has chances to better position itself for postseason play. “We have put ourselves in a position where we can’t squander too many more opportunities,” he said, “but at the same time we can’t think if it does not go well in any particular match it is not the end, because that’s not the case.” For updates on the Rutgers women’s soccer team, follow Bradly Derechailo on Twitter @BradlyDtargum.

In its third event of the fall, the women’s team hosts the Rutgers Invitational on Oct. 5 and 6 at the Rutgers University Golf Course. While pleased to finally play on their home turf, the Scarlet Knights also know the dangers of being too relaxed with the course they see more than any other. Sophomore Kor tnie Maxoutopoulis understands it as well as any of the Knights. She has steadily paced the team with two top-six individual finishes this season and won the Rutgers Invitational last fall. “When you play at your own home course, it’s almost like, ‘Oh, well I know it too well,’” she said. “But you still have to play it as a typical golf round, find yards in every shot, factor in the wind. And you can’t just expect what you’re used to expecting on a typical day. You have to take every single hole as it comes.” Staying in the moment factored into the youthful Knights’ struggles last weekend at the Yale Intercollegiate. The team carded a disappointing 317 in the final round — 18 strokes worse than the previous round — to finish in ninth place. As head coach Maura Waters-Ballard noted Sunday, strong winds and inconsistencies with the team’s freshmen were crucial factors. “It’s hard to stay focused through all [three] days,” Maxoutopoulis said. “Could’ve been that we lost the focus, could’ve been a little inexperience. Not sure really sure exactly what happened. We kind of fell back a bit, but I think that just comes as a learning experience.”

Junior co-captain Doug Walters leads the Knights to their upcoming tournament in Ireland. The weather conditions the team will face in Ireland are similar to those it encountered at the Hartford Hawks Invitational. JOEY GREGORY, ASSOCIATE SPORTS EDITOR Senior co-captain Brittany Weddell also attributes much of the team’s inconsistencies down the stretch simply to the freshmen’s lack of experience in threeday tournaments. “The freshmen aren’t really used to that yet,” she said. “I think a lot of getting better at the game is experience, and now that they’ve had two tournaments under their belts, I think they’re going to be ready to come back to a course that we play two to three times a week and do a lot better.” The men’s team, meanwhile, has begun extensive preparations for a much different venue awaiting them at the Waterville Collegiate Classic on Oct. 15 and

16 in County Kerry, Ireland. Like last week, the team practices again next week at courses outside of Rutgers with uneven and downhill lies that its home range does not provide. The Knights also prepare Monday and Tuesday for inclement and erratic weather conditions they have not seen much of prior to the Hartford Hawks Invitational. “[Hartford] was a good experience because it was our first tournament of the season of really battling weather elements, temperature changes,” said junior Doug Walters. “That’s really what is a necessity to adapt to over in Ireland.” The Knights travel in less than three weeks to a peninsula coast

in Waterville, where wind will naturally play a major role. “Currently at the [Rutgers] range, we are specifically working on ball control and hitting different shots and fades,” Walters said. “We’ve got to find and hit that hold-off shot where it fights that wind and goes where our intended line is.” Freshman Jonathan Chang sets his sights on improving his game following a disappointing finish to his individual per formance at the invitational in Har tford. After leading the Knights with a scorecard of 147 — sixth in the individual player field — through the opening two rounds Monday,

“I came kind of late, so I thought that’d be very busy with upcoming games that they have and everything that was going on, and I was just a new addition to the team,” he said. “But everybody took me in and showed me a lot of love, so I’m happy to be here.” But for someone who has yet to play in a Division-I football game, the change from high school is not an easy one. One glaring dif ference is the amount of plays run by college teams. “There are not as many things to learn [in high school],” said freshman linebacker Steve Longa. “The defensive playbook is ridiculous. In high school, we basically did not run a lot of plays — at max, three plays on defense. We were good. Here, there’s a lot of scheme. We have a scheme against different teams every week and learn a lot.

It’s a lot different — physical toughness, speed.” Luckily for Royster, the Scarlet Knights secondary has a wealth of experience to help him along. Seniors Marcus Cooper and Brandon Jones, as well as junior Logan Ryan, provide Royster with plenty of leadership at cornerback. “I look at their technique,” Royster said. “They’re learning from the coaches, so by them learning from the coaches, I’m also learning from the coaches and paying a lot of attention to the things that they do.” He also has the luxury of two bye weeks working in his favor. During bye weeks, younger players and those not on the depth chart get a chance to earn more reps in practice. Head coach Kyle Flood is pleased with what Royster has shown him throughout the week. “He’s at the beginning stages of learning our defense,” Flood said.

Chang struggled with his rhythm in the final round Tuesday and never recovered. He slipped to 27th in the field and finished with a final score of 228. “I couldn’t really get things going,” Chang said. “I hit four greens out of 18 holes [in the last round], and you’re not going to win with that. So, ver y disappointing on my par t and I felt like I kind of let the team down.” To return to being a catalyst for the Knights, Chang aims to get his full-range driving on track before the team treks to Ireland. “I need to work on my ball striking,” he said. “That one kills me the most.”

“He didn’t have training camp or any of that kind of thing with us. But you see him running around, and athletically he looks like the right guy.” Royster was originally recruited by former head coach Greg Schiano and his staff, which bares no resemblance the one currently in place. Luckily for Rutgers, Royster was already familiar with one of the coaches that remained from Schiano’s regime. “The first person I met from Rutgers was actually Coach Flood,” Royster said. “When he became the head coach and I was being recruited, ever ything seemed still the same but different at the same time.” Now that he is in Piscataway, Royster is considered a walk-on. But he does not sense any difference between him and scholarship players. “Everybody on this team is treated the same,” he said. “Everybody is supposed to do what they’re supposed to do … go to class when they’re supposed to go to class. I feel no different [being a walk-on].” For updates on the Rutgers football team, follow Joey Gregory on Twitter @jgregorytargum.

Knights re-evaluate game plan BY ANTHONY RODRIGUEZ STAFF WRITER

The Rutgers field hockey team is looking to get its first Big East victory of the 2012 season at noon tomorrow, when it takes on Villanova. The Scarlet Knights are 0-2 so far in conference play, after losses to Connecticut and Syracuse. The Knights (5-5) have not beaten a Big East opponent since Oct. 14, when they defeated Providence, 3-1. “This week of practice, we’ve really isolated the areas that we really need to improve on in order for us to get our game to the next level,” said head coach Meredith Long. “We are really conscious of the things we need to fix, and I am looking forward

to seeing the team implement the things we have been focusing on and will continue to focus on.” The Knights concentrated on their counter defense structure, as well as their possession buildup game. The team wants to build the play up from the backfield and the midfield to gain momentum. “I think we need to keep growing and improving, but I really believe if we continue to build and every time we step on the field we are getting better,” Long said, “we have a real good shot at making the Big East Tournament.” Senior forwards Christie Lonsky and Carlie Rouh lead the Knights. Lonsky is tied for first on the team with nine points with four goals and an assist on the season. Rouh is tied for second on the

team with eight points, contributing three goals and two assists. “This has been one of my better seasons throughout my college career,” Lonsky said. “The coaches have really helped me to grow, learn a lot of things and become the player that I am growing into. After starting the season 4-1, Villanova (4-5) lost four consecutive games, a trend the Knights want to continue. “It’s another Big East game and a big rivalry,” said sophomore midfielder Jenn Staab. “We played at their turf last year, and they’re here this year. So it’s a home game, and we are looking to win.” The Knights also want to get support from the home fans.

“It is a big, huge home game coming up against Villanova, and we would love for as many students to come out and support us to really give us that home field advantage,” Long said. After the contest with Villanova, the Knights return Sunday at 1 p.m. to take on Bucknell. The Knights have won their second game of the weekend in three consecutive weeks. All of those wins have followed Knights’ losses. “We don’t take no for an answer,” Staab said. “We just look to improve ever y single game. We look to find out what we did wrong and make it better, and that is how we are able to come back in the second games to get wins.”

FIELD HOCKEY FORWARD TIES FOR TEAM LEAD IN GOALS

Transfer makes early impact on RU offense BY ANTHONY RODRIGUEZ STAFF WRITER

Forced to sit out last season, junior forward Christie Lonsky has returned to the playing field with a vengeance. Lonsky joined the Rutgers field hockey team last season after two years of field hockey at Providence. With NCAA transfer rules, Lonsky had to miss the 2011 season. Lonsky is academically a senior, but because of a redshirt season, she has one more year of eligibility after 2012. So far into the 2012 season, Lonsky has been one of the Knights’ most dominant players. She recorded 25 shots, 10 points and four goals — all place her tied for the Rutgers lead. She has also added an assist on the year. “She has just been so patient with her comeback, and I think she’s really making a statement,” said head coach Meredith Long. “Now that she is able to compete with us and be on the field, every game she is getting better, and she has really developed into a player that we can really count on.” In the Knights’ last game against Cornell, Lonsky’s

offensive prowess was on full display. In overtime, Lonsky got the rebound off of her own shot and scored to give the Knights a 4-3 victory. The goal was her second of the game, the first coming in the second half with Rutgers trailing, 3-1. “She really gets the job done in pressure situations,” Long said. “She just was in the zone the whole game, and we were just watching her from the sideline as coaches and knew she was going to be the player that game to get the job done. Christie just really came up big for us.” Lonsky has her sights set on achieving both team and individual goals as the season progresses. “As a team we would like to go to the Big East Tournament, but I would like to keep scoring in order to help the team get to the Big East,” Lonsky said. Lonsky is a quiet leader on the field. She is not the most outspoken person on the team, but leads through her play. “Sometimes a lot of people think I’m really calm and poised, but in my head, I’m really just trying to be really aggressive,” Lonsky said. “It doesn’t always seem like that.” Lonsky has appreciated the Knights’ resilience and believes

Junior midfielder Lisa Patrone is tied with Christie Lonsky, a junior forward, and senior forward Cornelia Duffin for first on the team in goals with four. LAWRENCE CABREDO it shows a lot about the team. Rutgers has lost each of its first games in the last three weekends, but followed the losses with victories in the weekends’ second games. Two of those victories — against Br yant and Sacred Hear t — came in shutout fashion.

“I think it just shows how we can rebound and bounce back from something that wasn’t as positive as we wanted it to be,” Lonsky said. “We have been able though to turn it into something really great, and show how we are able to play by the end of the weekend.”

FOOTBALL

WOMEN’S SOCCER RUTGERS-ST. JOHN’S, TONIGHT, 7 P.M.

NJ native adapts to new system BY JOEY GREGORY ASSOCIATE SPORTS EDITOR

When Sheldon Royster chose where he would play college football, he whittled his choices down to two places: Rutgers and South Carolina. He picked the Gamecocks, but the four-star recruit’s first year did not go quite as planned. Royster remained off the depth chart, spending his first year of eligibility on the sidelines. That forced his gaze back to his home state of New Jersey and led to him joining the Rutgers football team soon after this season began. “Those were my top two schools, Rutgers and South Carolina,” Royster said. “I just felt that I needed to get away from home. I felt that [South Carolina] was a better choice at the time, but … the past is in the past, so I’m just ready to get focused and help this team win a national championship.” But the Woodbridge, N.J., native had some work to do. He needed to learn an entire defense before he could play on the field. Per NCAA rules, Royster must sit out this season, so he has time to do so. The coaches are making the transition much easier, Royster said.

RU aims to halt lack of scoring BY BRADLY DERECHAILO CORRESPONDENT

SYSTEM ON PAGE 14 The lack of offense for the Rutgers women’s soccer team has been evident throughout its 1-3 Big East season. While the Scarlet Knights have not tallied a goal in the first half of those contests, head coach Glenn Crooks believes the whole game has to be addressed to pinpoint where the Knights’ scoring problems lie. “I think you just have to look over 90 minutes,” he said. “We have to score more over

the 90-minute period. Whether it is the first half or second half, if we win every game, 3-1, and the three goals are in the second half, to be quite honest with you, it is not a big concern. We just over a 90-minute period have to be more consistent in our attack.” The main focus in practice this week has been finding a comfort level and confidence when it comes to converting around the net, Crooks said. The Knights (8-4,1-3) may have their best opportunity to iron their scoring kinks out tonight, when they play St. John’s — the first away game for Rutgers since Sept. 9.

The Red Storm (4-7, 0-4) have allowed a Big-East worst 27 goals this season, good for 2.45 goals per contest. The next lowest total in that category is Seton Hall with a 1.83 per-game mark. The lack of defense by St. John’s opens up opportunities for an offense with only two goals — both on penalty shots by junior forward Jonelle Filigno — in Big East play. Freshman midfielder Rachel Cole believes an offensive outburst is within reach. SEE

Sophomore forward J.P. Correa tied the game last year against then-No. 10 Louisville with a goal in the left corner of the net. Correa and senior defender Joe Setchell will not be present when the Scarlet Knights (4-3, 0-1) face Louisville (5-3, 1-0) on Sunday at Yurcak Field, as both are out for the season.

“It’s hard,” said head coach Dan Donigan. “It is what it is. You don’t have a choice in the matter. Other guys have to step up.” Setchell only played the first two games this year because of a leg injury, and Correa has missed the last three games because of a lower body injury. In the past two games, Donigan has unconventionally replaced Correa’s starting spot with sophomore defender Thomas O’Rourke.
