Activists push for two states BY AMY ROWE NEWS EDITOR
Amro Brighith, a 22-year-old business student from Palestine, and Or Kaner, a 26-year-old Israeli soldier studying for his master’s in political science, both agree a two-state solution is the only way to end the Israeli-Palestinian conflict after observing the climate in both areas first hand. Brighith and Kaner now advocate for this solution through OneVoice, an international, nonpartisan grassroots movement whose activists work within their communities to build support for establishing two states, in Palestine and Israel, respectively. Brighith, who was born in Bethlehem, said the village in which he grew up just south of West Bank suffers daily from the Israeli occupation, the separation wall and encroaching settlements, yesterday during a visit to the University’s “Israeli Politics” class. “When I was a little boy my parents used to tell me to be careful with everything,” he said. “They were afraid for me to be harmed from soldiers. … I’d always get terrified when I’d see the soldiers with their guns.”
When Brighith began attending a school that was 35 minutes away from home, he said he had to go through three military checkpoints, which took him hours to get through. “Some days, it seemed impossible,” he said. Israeli police shot Brighith’s close friend in the chest in 2004 after they entered his village, one event that influenced Brighith years later to join OneVoice. “His poor mother was cooking his favorite meal, and she didn’t know about her beloved son until she heard his name over the mosque’s speakers,” he said. A different path led Kaner to OneVoice. He joined Israel’s army, a two-year requirement for all students who graduate from high school in Israel. “Everyone joins the army in Israel. If you want to become successful, you have to go to combat,” he said. “It’s a part of the perception.” When Kaner was tasked with printing himself in camouflage to stealthily break in to a house in a Palestinian village, he put himself in the position of the house’s owner and felt uncomfortable. He said he SEE

Two University professors were awarded about $1.4 million from the National Science Foundation last week to analyze big data and will be collaborating with researchers at Princeton University, Cornell University and Stony Brook University in their research. Big data is a complex accumulation of information from various sources, according to the NSF website. The interpretation of big data is an important matter today and the research made by the collaborations could be helpful to the future of American scientific progress. Martin Farach-Colton, one of the award recipients, said having easier access to data, organized indexes and catalogues of information will aid scientists and businesses in doing research and storing input. “Imagine a giant librar y of data,” said Farach-Colton, professor in the Department of Political Science. “In order to find information in it, you need some kind of catalogue. If you don’t have a catalogue, finding any particular thing in the library is like finding a needle in a haystack.” He said there is a problem with maintaining indexes especially when large amounts of data are added. Farach-Colton said he aims to maintain data indexes with billions of entries at a rate 200 times faster than what is available now. He said the project will be done in collaboration with Stony
Brook University, in which the project was awarded $1.2 million but the University is to receive $400,000 of it. “The part of the problem that I am working on is how to maintain indexes ver y quickly,” FarachColton said. “Within a couple of years, it will take longer and longer to maintain data using old methods of indexing.” The word “big” refers to the large, diverse, complex or distributed data sets generated from instruments, sensors, Internet transactions and all other digital sources available today and in the future, according to the website. A large amount of information is constantly being added to the Internet and communication systems each day, including millions of tweets and other such comments on a diversity of topics. The research projects will provide rapid organization of the big data, enabling a breakthrough discoveries and innovation in science. The University is involved in two of the eight different projects receiving grants from the NSF, according to the website. “Anyone with really big data benefits from this research,” Farach-Colton said. He said he already has products on the market, distributed through his company, Tokutek, which organizes big data. These products are utilized by businesses looking for efficient ways to organize massive amounts of information. Individuals typically do not need such devices. SEE

Group begins plans for boot camp event Rutgers United Students Against Sweatshops to train student leaders to oppose Adidas’ employee relations BY SHAWN SMITH CORRESPONDENT
The Rutgers University Students Against Sweatshops began planning a November boot camp to be held at the University that would teach students all over the East Coast how to be effective organizers and leaders in their crusade for fair labor. The boot camp is meant to empower students to stand up against German sports clothing manufacturer Adidas, which recently had a factory shut down because of unfair labor practices, said Hannah Roe,
RUSAS organizer and School of Arts and Sciences sophomore. “There was a factory in Indonesia that was shut down, [involving] workers from Adidas, Nike and Dallas Cowboys [Silver Star Clothing],” she said. “The companies were required to pay severance to the workers, and both Nike and Dallas Cowboys agreed, but Adidas claimed they had not been there long enough to be included.” Sonia Szczesna, a core organizer for RUSAS and School of Ar ts and Sciences senior, said students have a voice when it comes to which companies
the University does business with, adding that students should stand up for what they believe in. “Adidas hasn’t paid yet, we are hoping President Barchi will catch wind and cut them from the school,” she said. “Cornell and Oberlin have already cut contracts, maybe we can learn from them.” Roe said some universities have nationally coordinated campaigns and by standing together, companies will start to listen. “It’s not enough for one school to cut, but when students coordinate and they all start cutting contracts, then they have to listen to us and hear our voices,” she said. “Rutgers has a smaller contract, so there is no reason that we shouldn’t cut.” SEE

OUR STORY “Targum” is an Aramaic term for “interpretation.” The name for the University’s daily paper came to be after one of its founding members heard the term during a lecture by then-Rutgers President William H. Campbell. On Jan. 29, 1869, more than 140 years ago, the Targum — then a monthly publication, began to chronicle Rutgers history and has become a fixture in University tradition. The Targum began publishing daily in 1956 and gained independence from the University in 1980.

He said the balance of an individual’s mindset could reduce religious tension in sovereign nations. Christopher Brown, a School of Arts and Sciences first-year student, said he never thought about how governments are looking toward religious tolerance. “I’ve realized the separation of our religion and state, but I’ve never realized or paid much attention to how they [governments] try to help it or maybe how they don’t try to help it,” he said. He said everyone has voice and opinion, but individuals can
choose to learn from other people’s experience and from what the past has to offer. Asher Ghertner, lecturer in the Department of Geography and event organizer, said someone like Bhargava, who has seen religious conflict in India, could help others understand the problem. “[Someone] who has a deep historical perspective to the issues is an ideal person to bring to help us shed light on how this problem can be addressed and potentially resolved,” he said.

STATES 68 percent of Israelis support two-state solution CONTINUED FROM FRONT asked to be reassigned to a teaching position soon after. After his army tour, Kaner enrolled in school at Tel Aviv University, where he said he could barely tell Israel was engaged in a 20-year-long conflict. “I saw how apathetic it was in Tel Aviv. The past few years have been quiet,” Kaner said. “[People are] more concerned with Iran and African refugees.” But every time he sees the separation wall when he attends class, Kaner is reminded of the unresolved conflict at home. Kaner and Brighith encourage University students to support this issue, especially in an election year. They both hope students can help make peace negotiations a priority for the president elected in November. “The Israeli-Palestinian conflict is an international matter,” Brighith said. “It will be great to see you put the pressure on the leaders … for serious negotiations.” Both activists said the twostate solution is recognized as the only way to fulfill the wants and needs of Palestine and Israel, with 68 percent of Israelis and 72 percent of Palestinians backing this strategy. But how to implement the solution is still disagreed upon in the community, and spreading awareness of the possibilities is a part of each OneVoice activists’ job, said Shaina Low, an associate in the organization’s International Engagement program. She said the group started in 2004 as a reaction to the Camp David Accords, because activists were tired of seeing violence and extremism on both sides. “We go into communities and work on how to build a consensus [for the solution],” she said. “We
GRANT Kantor says project will provide scientists with data faster CONTINUED FROM FRONT Research is done at the universities and is then applied through Tokutek, he said. Farach-Colton said he will be working with Michael Bender, associate professor in the Department of Computer Science from Stony Brook University, and will use the money to hire graduate students to conduct research and find software that has faster capabilities. Paul Kantor, a professor in the Depar tment of Librar y and Information Sciences, is the second University researcher to receiving funding from the foundation. Kantor said he is working in collaboration with Princeton University and Cornell University on a project to improve the accuracy and relevance of complex scientific literature searches. Kantor said the project received a detailed three-year budget, which will be used to hire expert programmers and graduate students.
have nonpartisan membership that spans religious backgrounds.” In Israel, Low said there is a sense of apathy about ending the conflict because it does not affect citizens’ daily lives. This contrasts with the attitude of the Palestinians, who are feeling a loss of hope because of the Israeli occupation, she said. Samuel Peleg, a University visiting instructor who teaches “Israeli Politics,” became an activist for peace between Israel and Palestine in 1996 when one of his teaching assistants from Tel Aviv was killed in a suicide bombing. “[The violence] was getting unbearable,” he said. “I felt that my academic knowledge and experience would help me become a better activist.” Peleg said he invited OneVoice to speak so his “Israeli Politics” students could hear from those who experience conflict on a daily basis. “Israeli politics is really hovering over and being fueled and fed by the Israeli-Palestinian conflict,” he said. Maud Andersen, a School of Arts and Sciences senior in the class, said she appreciated hearing a personal perspective on the conflict. “Americans can become more aware of it,” she said. “We learn about it from a journalist’s point of view … and that’s where we probably get a slanted view.” Joey Rosenberg, a School of Arts and Sciences first-year student, said he has been to Israel three times and tries not to favor one side over the other. But he said he is nervous about how negotiations might play out. “I’m just worried that these negotiations won’t really deter factions on both sides,” he said. “Israel has less to keep track of in terms of extremist factions compared to Arab countries.” Kaner said while there are extremists on both sides, they are not as popular as some may think. “It’s easier to hear them because they are loud,” he said.
The University will receive $1 million of the $3 million allocated to this part of the NSF project, he said. “There is a very important collection of scientific preprints, or articles that have been written but haven’t yet been published called the arXiv, maintained by Cornell University,” Kantor said. “This is an important resource for scientists looking for articles.” Kantor said the goal of the research is to provide the individual scientist with more rapid and accurate access to the information that they need. “We are trying to improve our national competitiveness in trying to innovate quickly,” Kantor said. In furthering scientific research, access and arrangement of big data are essential. Otherwise, important data could be easily lost or forgotten. The project will focus on bringing big data down to the human scale, he said The research for the projects will be useful in several scientific fields of study, such as physics, genetics, psychology, epidemiology, medicine, economics, social- network analysis and retail, according to the website.

CONTINUED FROM FRONT Szczesna said the University adapted a new code of conduct, called the Designated Suppliers Program, which ensures companies it buys from do not use sweatshops. “We adapted the DSP to make sure Rutgers deals with the right companies. We are also part of Worker Rights Consortium,” she said. “They also make sure companies don’t use sweatshops. USAS helped to form the WRC about 12 years ago.” She said RUSAS has a meeting this month with President Robert L. Barchi to talk about the issue with Adidas. “We are looking forward to meeting with him one on one,” she said. Szczesna said yesterday’s meeting was logistical in terms of planning how to get the word out about the boot camp. “We want to tell people and clubs that are interested what the boot camp is all about and what their involvement would entail,” Szczesna said. “We are going to start to teach them how to build coalitions, train students on info sessions and how to run a table.” Roe said the boot camp would help give students a voice in their own schools. “We should have an influence on how and where our money goes to,” she said. “USAS has chapters all over the coast promoting the event here at Rutgers.” Szczesna said schools from New Jersey all the way up to Massachusetts would visit the University for the event. “We have [students] from Northwestern, NYU, Temple, Cornell and the University of Pennsylvania coming to the boot camp,” she said. Szczesna said the Institute for Women’s Leadership along with the United Nations Children’s Fund and the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People are set to sponsor the boot camp. The Rutgers University Student Assembly and Rutgers Student Union will also be involved with the event, Szczesna said. “We are also tr ying to get the Latino Student Council and the Asian Leadership Cabinet,” she said. The University’s boot camp will coincide with other boot camps held over a four-week period in the Midwest and West Coast, Szczesna said. “They are all being organized the same general way, but they all have a unique tone to them,” she said. Abigail Garner, a member of the Rutgers Student Union, said that she is excited to be involved with the boot camp. “You go and learn these amazing tactics from students who are sometimes working on the same campaign as you,” said Garner, a School of Arts and Sciences junior. “It’s also a great way to network and learn from other activists throughout the region.” The RUSAS boot camp will be held Nov. 3 and 4 in Van Dyke Hall and Scott Hall on the College Avenue campus, Szczesna said.

Al-Qaida rebuilding in Iraq, officials say THE ASSOCIATED PRESS BAGHDAD — Al-Qaida is rebuilding in Iraq and has set up training camps for insurgents in the nation’s western deserts as the extremist group seizes on regional instability and government security failures to regain strength, officials say. Iraq has seen a jump in al-Qaida attacks over the last 10 weeks, and officials believe most of the fighters are former prisoners who have either escaped from jail or were released by Iraqi authorities for lack of evidence after the U.S. military withdrawal last December. Many are said to be Saudi or from Sunni-dominated Gulf states. During the war and its aftermath, U.S. forces, joined by allied Sunni groups and later by Iraqi counterterror forces, managed to beat back al-Qaida’s Iraqi branch. But now, Iraqi and U.S. officials say, the insurgent group has more than doubled in numbers from a year ago — from about 1,000 to 2,500 fighters. And it is carrying out an average of 140 attacks each week across Iraq, up from 75 attacks each week earlier this year, according to Pentagon data. “AQI is coming back,” U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham, a Republican from South Carolina, declared in an interview last month while visiting Baghdad. The new growth of al-Qaida in Iraq, also known as the Islamic State of Iraq, is not entirely unexpected. Last November, the top U.S. military official in Iraq, Army Gen. Lloyd Austin, predicted “turbulence” ahead for Iraq’s security forces. But he doubted Iraq would return to the days of widespread fighting between Shiite militias and Sunni insurgents, including alQaida, that brought the Islamic country to the brink of civil war. While there’s no sign of Iraq headed back toward sectarian warfare — mostly because Shiite militias are not retaliating to their deadly attacks — al-Qaida’s revival is terrifying to ordinary Iraqis. Generally, the militant group does not does not launch attacks
or otherwise operate beyond Iraq’s borders. For years, it has targeted Shiite pilgrims, security forces, officials in the Shiite-led government and — until it left — the U.S. military. A series of bombings and drive-by shootings killed six people yesterday, including three soldiers and a judge, in Baghdad and the former al-Qaida strongholds of Mosul and Tal Afar in northern Iraq. Each round of bombings and shootings the terror group unleashes across the country, sometimes killing dozens on a single day, fuels simmering public resentment toward the government, which has unable to curb the violence. And the rise of Sunni extremists who aim to overthrow a Shiite-linked government in neighboring Syria has brought a new level of anxiety to Iraqis who fear the same thing could happen in Baghdad. “Nobody here believes the government’s claims that al-Qaida is weak and living its last days in Iraq,” said Fuad Ali, 41, a Shiite who works for the government. “Al-Qaida is much stronger than what the Iraqi officials are imagining,” Ali said. “The terrorist group is able to launch big attacks and free its members from Iraqi prisons, and this indicates that alQaida is stronger than our security forces. The government has failed to stop the increasing number of victims who were killed since the start of this year.” In the vast desert of western Iraq near the Syrian border, security forces have discovered the remnants of recent insurgent training camps, said Lt. Gen. Ali Ghaidan, commander of the army’s ground forces. An army raid last month on Iraq’s sprawling al-Jazeera region, which spans three provinces, found a 10-tent campsite littered with thousands of bullet shell casings, Ghaidan told The Associated Press in an interview. “This indicates that this place has been used as a shooting range to train terrorists,” said Ghaidan, one of the highest ranking officials in the Iraqi army.

Investing in our future STATE OF THE UNION MATT KUCHTYAK
A
diverse group of politicians, students and representatives from industr y and labor came out to the steps of Brower Commons on the College Avenue campus on Monday to suppor t the Building Our Future Bond Act, which authorizes the issue of $750 million in general obligation bonds to support construction and maintenance of academic buildings in New Jersey’s colleges and universities. Speakers at the event included former N.J. Gov. Tom Kean, State Senate President Steve Sweeney, D-Gloucester, State Assembly Speaker Sheila Oliver, D-34, Public Ser vice Enterprise Group Chief Executive Officer and Chair of the University Board of Governors Ralph Izzo and University President Robert L. Barchi. These speakers, among others, stressed the need for investing in the citizens of New Jersey by supporting the first general obligation bonds for higher education in the state since 1988, during the administrations of Kean and former President Ronald Reagan. Gov. Chris Christie signed the Building Our Future Bond Act Aug. 8, after it had passed with near-unanimous bipartisan support in the State Senate and Assembly. Now the voters of New Jersey will have the opportunity on Election Day to decide whether the state should borrow $750 million in long-term debt to support our state’s institutes of higher education. Specifically, the $750 million would be split among the state’s colleges and universities in the following distribution — public research universities, including the University, New Jersey
Institute of Technology and Rowan University: $300 million; state colleges and universities: $247.5 million; county colleges: $150 million; and private colleges and universities: $52.5 million. Princeton University would not be included in the private colleges and universities, as private institutions with endowments larger than $1 billion are not eligible to receive funds. In addition to the money from the Building Our Future bonds, par ticipating schools would match any bond proceeds to the tune of 25 percent. These bond proceeds are solely for the use of non-revenue generating academic facilities, such as classrooms and laboratories, which means that these funds cannot be used for residence halls or athletic facilities.
“It is impossible to underestimate the positive impact this bond issue will have on economic growth.” As proponents of the bond issue have begun to explain to the citizens of the state what they would be supporting on Election Day, support has risen for the bonds. A recent RutgersEagleton poll has shown that 62 percent of overall likely voters support the bond issue, up from 56 percent the previous month. While a vocal opposition to the bond issue has yet to develop, opponents may argue that the state cannot afford to borrow such a large sum of money to finance building construction in higher education. The Office of Legislative Ser vices, the nonpartisan research branch of the state legislature, has estimated that the state of New Jersey would incur between $43.2 and $54.2 million in annual debt
ser vice payments from fiscal year 2013 through fiscal year 2042, depending on the interest rate. Over the 30-year life of the bonds, then, the state would have principle and interest obligations on the $750 million worth of bonds in the amount ranging from $1.294 billion and $1.625 billion. While this may seem at first glance to be a very large sum, it is impossible to underestimate the positive impact this bond issue will have on economic growth in this state. Estimates show that the state’s Gross Domestic Product would increase by $715.2 million annually. The economic benefits clearly outweigh the costs, and we cannot afford to neglect investing in higher education facilities now. During these troubled economic times, the bond act allows for immediate benefits such as increases in employment and improvements to our state’s colleges and universities, while spreading the costs out over three decades. The bonds will allow our universities to be competitive with neighboring states such as New York and Connecticut, which have been much better at funding public higher education in recent years. This will help our universities retain their appeal to New Jersey’s high school graduates and help slow the disturbing trend of student outmigration. Finally, these bonds will help the University fulfill its motto of “Jersey Roots, Global Reach” by ensuring competitiveness in the global marketplace. So come November 6, after you vote for your favorite presidential candidate, be sure to vote yes on ballot question 1 to support investing in the future of our state and its citizens.

Health insurance providers are not sexist I think we’ve all heard mention about how being a woman isn’t a preexisting condition. It isn’t, but there are many people out there who are completely missing the reason why women pay more for health insurance than men do. It has nothing to do with sex as much as it has to do with how each sex operates. It’s a statistical reality that women go to visit their doctors more often than men do. To tweak the metaphor used in “Embrace Universal Healthcare,” imagine that a man and a woman are comparing how much they spend on gas per month. They discover that the woman pays more, but why? They own the same model of car. They use the same roads, obey the speed limit, and their driving habits are identical. Baffled, the woman goes with the only reasoning for this that comes to mind: she’s being charged more at gas stations because she’s a woman. But they ignore one very important detail: the woman drives to more places than the man does. This rule of thumb applies to many other financial instances. If you use more power, your electric bill is higher. If you have your heater set to a higher temperature, you’ll pay more to refill your gas tanks. If you use something more often, you’ll pay more for it. Health insurance is no different. As a group, women pay more than the opposite sex, not because of bias against women or their sex being a “pre-existing condition,” but because they’re more likely to take advantage of what they’re getting and go to the doctor more often. Now why is that? From the start, men are conditioned to be strong and tough. If they don’t fit into the mold, they’re belittled and called a wimp, a weenie, a crybaby, and so on. They’re told to suck it up and take it like a man when things get rough. Men aren’t supposed to cry. They aren’t supposed to complain. They’re expected to go out and solve their problems instead of talking about them. Typically, women aren’t faced with social conditioning like that. Women are encouraged to get help for most issues that may arise. If a man has a problem, he should just walk it off. There is a gap between the prices that men and women pay for health insurance. That won’t be denied. But to say that this is due to nothing other than one being a woman is vastly oversimplifying the reasoning and completely ignoring reality. Heath insurance providers aren’t sexist, no matter how often people paint them as such.

Monday’s “Building Our Future Bond Act” rally on the steps of Brower Commons brought out some of the state’s most notable politicians and legislators, including state Senate President Steve Sweeney. RYAN LEDERER
I am responding to a story in the Oct. 5 Daily Targum issue, titled “Alumni leave law school, launch legal website,” about two University students who left law school to start a website to help people learn about their legal rights. One stated their reason for doing so was the experience of working in a legal clinic where they were giving the same information daily to different clients. They said that convinced them of the value of a legal information website, particularly as “nobody was doing anything about it ... and there were no legal websites open to the public.” On the contrary, Legal Services of New Jersey has for many years maintained a website to provide legal information on a wide range of topics in civil, though not criminal, law. The website is publicly accessible at www.lsnjlaw.org, and is organized by topic area, and within each area, specific issues. The website is regularly updated by Legal Services attorneys who practice in these substantive areas. Information on the website is provided in English and Spanish. Last year, this website had 1.6 million visits. Anyone who visits legal websites for information should be aware that legal information is different from legal advice. An attorney provides legal advice to a client, based on the client’s specific factual situation and the applicability of relevant law to that situation. While websites can provide legal information that may help an individual in dealing with his or her problem, legal advice is often needed and that requires the assistance of an attorney. The desire to provide free, accurate and reliable legal information to the public is a worthy endeavor, which should be encouraged. That is why Legal Services of New Jersey continues to provide this service to the public through its website.

IN BRIEF THE
RUTGERS
MEN ’ S
lacrosse team welcomed 22 new players to its roster yesterday under second-year head coach Brian Brecht. Seven of the 22 athletes joining the Scarlet Knights earned a total of nine All-America honors in high school, while two of them competed at the international level. Freshmen attackmen Jacob Coretti, an East Grand Rapids, Mich., native; and Nick Kilkowski, a Summit, N.J., native, earned All-American distinctions twice. Coretti did so from 2010 to 2011, and Kilkowski earned the award in 2011 to 2012. Goalie Kris Alleyne, from New City, N.Y.; attackman Scott Bieda, a native of Bridgewater, N.J.; defenseman Luke Enzweiler, from Raleigh, N.C.; defenseman Nate Gowen, a native of Amherst, N.Y.; and Zack Sikora, from Clifton, Va.; all earned All-America honors in 2012, as well.
THE
RUTGERS
ROWING
team travels to Philadelphia this weekend to compete in the first of its four fall tournaments. The Navy Day Regatta takes place Saturday on the Schuylkill River. It has been two years since the Scarlet Knights competed in the event, when the varsity eight earned a fifth-place finish. Rutgers placed sixth last year in the women’s varsity 8+ final at the Big East Championship with a time of 7:51:44. The Knights placed second in the women’s varsity 4+ Petite Final with a time of 8:31:55.
FORMER
RUTGERS
baseball pitcher Casey Gaynor joined the Scarlet Knights’ staff as an assistant coach, primarily to work with pitchers. Gaynor finished with Rutgers in 2010 and played professional baseball for two years. The righthander advanced to the Mahoning Valley Scrappers, the Cleveland Indians’ Class A affiliate, recording a 5-2 record with a 4.04 ERA in 16 appearances that included five starts. Gaynor returns to Rutgers after finishing his Knights career first in program history with 52 starts and 317 innings pitched, and also ranked second with 227 strikeouts.
JERRY
SANDUSKY
WAS
sentenced yesterday to at least 30 years in prison, which is likely a life sentence for the 68-year-old. The former Penn State football defensive coordinator gave a statement in which he denied the allegations and spoke about life in prison and the hardship of being away from his family, according to ESPN. Sandusky was found guilty in June of 45 counts of child sexual abuse, convicted of molesting 10 boys in a 15-year period. Judge John Cleland gave Sandusky a 30-60-year term.
Knights vie for spot in Big East Tourney following slow start CONTINUED FROM BACK move, gone left and shot back post,’” Inacio said. “So I was like, ‘OK, Coach, whatever,’ but 30 seconds in, I got the ball, did a scissor move and got it to [Filigno] and she finished.” Inacio came up big again in the Knights’ match against the Fighting Irish when she got the ball to senior defender Shannon Woeller off of a corner kick 10 minutes into the first half. Notre Dame goalkeeper Sarah Voigt deflected Woeller’s shot, but Woeller converted the deflection into only the third Rutgers first-half goal of the season and second of the game. The Knights’ performance last weekend was an offensive revival for a team that scored as many goals in their past two games as it did in their previous seven. And it could not have come at a better time.
Rutgers has three league games remaining as it continues to solidify a spot in the Big East Tournament. The Knights currently rank sixth in the Big East National Division with games left against Cincinnati and Seton Hall, which both sit behind Rutgers in the standings. With such a slow start to league play, the Knights can give some of the credit to Inacio for putting them back in position to contend for playoff position. But while the game-winning play she and Filigno created against DePaul was important, Inacio realizes there is still a lot of work to do. “We need to keep winning and win now,” Inacio said. “We need to get the points now. We put ourselves in a little bit of a hole so we need to get the points. [But] the goal was huge.” Crooks, meanwhile, is impressed with the Manalapan, N.J., native’s recent play, and credits it to her concentration in practice. “She is very competitive and very fiery in training,” Crooks said. “We do a lot of competition in training, and I believe she has taken it another step in her competitiveness. ...

But she is becoming more and more of a complete player each day.” Louisville is the next opponent for Rutgers and represents another team the Knights can overcome in the standings, as the Cardinals sit in fifth place. But the Knights need to continue converting on scoring opportunities — something Inacio can have a hand in and believes the
rest of her teammates have the potential to do, as well. “It’s really important, and I think it is just a mentality,” Inacio said on staying aggressive offensively. “We have the players to do it.

FINALS Former No. 6 recruit in N.J. adapts play to collegiate skill level CONTINUED FROM BACK Despite the epilepsy, Kayati went on to have a dominant high school career at Woodstown (N.J.) High School, which has translated into early college success. At the USTA Invitational, Kayati and sophomore partner Noor Judeh advanced to the finals of their doubles draw before losing the match in a tie-breaker. They went 31 together at the tournament. “We really bring out the best in each other, whether it’s in our personalities or in our game,” Kayati said. “We had a lot of fun, and we made it to the finals, and it was a good finals match.” Kayati also experienced success in her first college tournament at the Brown Invitational. She made the finals of her singles draw, winning two of three matches against tough competition. “I thought I played really well, so I was happy about that being
my first college tournament,” she said. “It was very exciting.” Head coach Ben Bucca has noticed Kayati’s strong play. “Lindsey’s doing great,” he said. “She’s tall, athletic and she’s working on her strength. She takes shots and plays with strong intensity. She seems to just be getting better as the fall is progressing.” Bucca believes Kayati’s aggressive and intense style of play has had an impact on her smooth transition to the college game. “With each competition, she’s getting more and more confident,” he said. “She’s doing all the right things.” Kayati also believes she has been adjusting well to college. The structure of daily practices has allowed her to get into a consistent routine to aid her transition. She believes a major part of her adjusting so smoothly to college tennis is the help she received from her coaches and teammates. “The girls are great,” Kayati said. “Both of my coaches, Ben and [assistant coach] Hilar y [Ritchie], are awesome.

Freshman Lindsey Kayati lost in the finals of her doubles draw at the USTA Invitational. CONOR ALWELL, STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER They’re ver y suppor tive and give a lot of helpful insight, which makes the transition a lot easier.” Kayati is a former four-star recruit and No. 6 player in New Jersey, according to the Tennis Recruiting Network. The Monroeville, N.J., native said she chose to attend Rutgers for several reasons. It was close to home, had good academics and had an
excellent team atmosphere, she said. Bucca took notice of Kayati early in the recruiting process and had zero doubts about taking her onto the team. “Lindsey was definitely one of the leading players in New Jersey,” he said. “I got to see her play on a number of occasions, and I saw that she had a style of play that would do well in college.”
five games, two of which were on intentional grounding penalties. The Huskies, tops in the Big East in sacks, earned the other — the Knights’ only traditional sack allowed — when they hit sophomore quarterback Gary Nova as he attempted to toss the ball toward sophomore running back Jawan Jamison. Junior right guard Andre Civil has an idea as to where the development came from. “We’re much improved because we’re [paying] more [attention] to detail,” he said. “We understand. We’re a year older. [Maryland transfer] R.J. Dill is a great addition. We want to be the best. I feel like we have a lot of ‘want to’ this year, that desire to be the best.” That desire has produced more results than only an impressive sacks allowed total. The Knights’ running game has also taken a step up from last season. Jamison recorded a 100-yard rushing performance in each of Rutgers’ first five games, a streak not seen in Piscataway since the days of Baltimore Ravens running back Ray Rice. “It makes us hungry,” Civil said of the line’s recent play. “It makes us want to keep the [sack] number at three. It makes us not want to make that number go up — really just do our assignments and play hard.” The linemen themselves are not the only ones who have taken notice of the increased level of play. Wide receivers are conscious of how the offensive line is playing, as well, relying on it to give Nova time to make a strong throw. “It’s more confidence,” said senior wideout Mark Harrison of the difference in this year’s line. “I feel like they’re having fun out there, just knocking somebody down and just taking ownership in their team and really developing players.” Harrison, along with sophomore Brandon Coleman, is one of the team’s deep threats. With many of his routes, he needs extra time to get down the field and into proper position. That is where the offensive line steps in. “It helps a lot,” Harrison said, “because now we’re not being rushed in certain routes that we need to get a little deeper with.” And that help is visibly paying off. Nova recently emerged as a more developed quarterback, outshooting All-SEC quarterback Tyler Wilson on Sept. 22 at Arkansas and earning a victory against one of the Big East’s top defenses in UConn to lead Rutgers to a 5-0 start. With the recent history of the offensive line, an outsider could be forgiven for being surprised at the success of this year’s unit. In the past two seasons, the line allowed more than three sacks per game. Three in five games would have been considered nothing more than a lofty goal then. But the line is far from shocked. “I was expecting it,” said sophomore left tackle Kaleb Johnson. “I knew in the beginning of training camp that we were going to go out there and dominate the Big East.” For updates on the Rutgers football team, follow Joey Gregory on Twitter @jgregorytargum

Rookie makes impact in rare Big East start BY AARON FARRAR STAFF WRITER
When the Rutgers volleyball team takes the cour t for each match, only six Scarlet Knights are allowed on the cour t to represent the team. Although the remaining 14 players that complete the roster watch the action from the sideline, each player is expected to be prepared to join in at any time. Freshman outside hitter Megan Stephenson was one of those players given the call Oct. 5 against Cincinnati to face the defending Big East champion Bearcats. “I was ver y excited,” she said. “I love this game. It’s kind of the mentality you get when you’re on the bench. Your craving to be out on the court intensifies. You know you’re not out there, but you wish you could be. Being out the couple of weeks I was on the bench gave me that much more desire to do the best that I possibly could when I got back in.” Before last Friday’s match, head coach CJ Werneke decided to mix things up and inserted Stephenson into the starting lineup. The Burbank, Calif., native earned a start for the first time in several weeks and was ready to do what Werneke required. “It was great to see her come in and take advantage of the opportunity she had,” Werneke said. “She definitely gave us a spark plug and executed at a high level. It was good seeing her take advantage of that, and I’m looking for ward to seeing her do that again.” Stephenson provided instant offense. She was a catalyst for the Knights and matched a careerhigh 12 kills in the loss. “She definitely brings a lot of energy to the team,” said
senior middle blocker Alex Jones, who finished the night with 13 kills. “She’s ver y loud on the court, and that’s something that we need out there. She’s a positive person and played ver y well.” Rutgers anticipated Stephenson’s breakout performance for some time. Even though she played in spur ts the last two weeks, her intensity in practice prepared her for whenever she saw the cour t again. “Your work ethic in practice is extremely important to your actual game play,” she said. “Having a game-like mentality going into ever y single practice plays a huge role in how you play during the game. So I tr y to approach ever y practice as if it were the game, especially when I wasn’t playing in games too often. I played my heart out.” Stephenson’s showing against the Bearcats resulted in her second consecutive start two days later, when the Knights took on No. 17 Louisville. She finished the day with a team-high seven kills in the loss. Werneke monitors his players’ grit in practice and decides to give other Knights oppor tunities when he feels the time is right. “We talk to our team all the time about what [the players’] current roles are and how they can expand them,” Werneke said. “We talk about it and I say, ‘Hey, listen, you never know when your number’s going to be called, but the most important thing is me knowing what you’re doing to prepare for that moment.’ It’s great to see how Megan is always working hard in practice.” Stephenson has shown what she can do and looks to remain the spark the Knights need for the remainder of the season.
Savon Huggins insists he never lost confidence after sitting out two games because of a lower leg injury — his second in as many seasons. But the sophomore running back said he gained some against Connecticut last Saturday, when Huggins earned his first touches for the Rutgers football team in nearly a month. “[It was important] to get my confidence back for my knee and feel I can do ever ything,” Huggins said yesterday. “It was great for me to get my feet wet out there.” The sophomore running back carried the ball four times for 16 yards, his best per-carry average this season. He last touched the ball against Howard on Sept. 8, when he left a game for only the second time in his career — both with the Scarlet Knights. Head coach Kyle Flood said Huggins’ role could expand once he acclimates to the speed of the game. “He ran well,” Flood said. “He was very decisive, and he had two plays in the game where he was able to pick up blitzes that were critical points that allowed us to complete passes.” Huggins credits his improved pass blocking to position coach Norries Wilson, a former offensive lineman at Minnesota. He picked up his work with Wilson last week, when Huggins returned to practice for the first time since leaving abruptly against Howard. He said the coaching staff liked what it saw in the team’s Big East home opener.
“So now they’re going to put me in more,” Huggins said. “So my workload is going to increase. I felt good out there.” His biggest concern swirled around swelling in his knee. Huggins suffered the most significant injuries of his career within 10 months of each other — the first a separate knee injury in 2011 — but said he was never overly cautious. “I just wanted to get everything back,” said Huggins, whose lower body strength helped in his recovery. “At first, you have to get more reps and reps because it was still swollen a little. But after getting reps on it, the swelling went down and I was able to feel good and I ran good.” He will do so moving forward with a new fullback. Sophomore Paul Carrezola overtook classmate Sam Bergen on the depth chart Monday at the position. Carrezola, a tight end, played sparingly in an H-back role last year. “You have a tight end in the backfield. Now you don’t know what you’re going to do,” Huggins said. “He can get it up the seam or down the sideline, or he can block. He can do everything. We haven’t lost a step basically.” Flood expects Carrezola to line up in several spots, including the line of scrimmage. But it is the first time Carrezola has played the position full time. “I picked up my job rather quickly from the summer,” Carrezola said. “There’s still a lot of stuff I need to learn and be more consistent at in order to get better at it.” Tight ends coach Darnell Dinkins covers fullback responsibilities in position meetings, Carrezola said, and Carrezola
works with Wilson on occasion. He seeks out Bergen and injured sophomore fullback Michael Burton on the position’s nuances. Carrezola played fullback briefly in the spring, but an injury to senior D.C. Jefferson prompted his return to tight end. Offensive coordinator Dave Brock utilized Burton, out for the season with a lower leg injury, as a pass catcher in his pro-style system. The philosophy figures to remain when the Knights line up two tight ends — one on the line and another in the backfield. “I’m not sure exactly what it does to a defense,” Carrezola said, “but I know for us it gives us different options that we can use.
FLOOD

IS
optimistic that freshman kicker Kyle Federico will play in some capacity Saturday against Syracuse despite not practicing yesterday. Federico left against UConn with a lower leg injury and did not return. “He could be limited,” said Flood, who spoke with head athletic trainer David McCune. “We’ll just have to see ultimately what he can give us by the end of the week.” An ongoing competition remains behind Federico — or for his position, should he not play — with multiple candidates. Sophomore Nick DeLouisa replaced Federico against UConn, but he missed a fourth-quarter PAT attempt. The Knights also could add an unnamed walk-on kicker they worked out following yesterday’s practice. For updates on the Rutgers football team, follow Tyler Barto on Twitter @TBartoTargum.

Forward nets assists to lift RU in Big East
No. 1 team in nation escapes potential upset With sophomore for ward J.P. Correa out for the season with a lower body injur y, Rutgers head men’s soccer coach Dan Donigan inser ted sophomore defender Thomas O’Rourke into that spot in the starting lineup. O’Rourke was not expected to completely fill Correa’s scoring void, but he did so with a goal in the second minute yesterday at No. 1 Maryland. Rutgers had a moment of glory in the time it led the top-ranked team in the nation on its home field in College Park, Md., but it was only a moment. It had a chance to beat the No. 1 team in the nation, but then Mar yland played like the first-ranked team. The Knights spent most of the time in an uphill battle in their 2-1 loss. Rutgers (5-5-1) kept up with Maryland (10-0-1) in the second half, only getting outshot, 8-7. The Knights even generated three shots in two minutes ending in the 71st minute, but it resulted in Mar yland goalie Keith Cardona saving his fourth and final shot of the game. The Terrapins put Rutgers behind them in the 32nd minute, when forward Patrick Mullins sunk his eighth goal of the year to put Maryland up, 2-1. Rutgers did not lead for long as forward Christiano Francois tied the game at one in the sixth minute. — Josh Bakan

After allowing a combined 91 sacks in the past two seasons, the Rutgers football team’s offensive line had its work cut out for it in training camp. Its position coach became the head coach in
the spring, meaning it had to adjust to a new face and whatever personality came along with it. But by all accounts and statistics, the Scarlet Knights’ offensive linemen have done so. New position coach Damian Wroblewski has aided the unit to three sacks allowed in SEE
Junior forward Jonelle Filigno earned the recognition for the Rutgers women’s soccer team’s 1-0 overtime victory Friday at DePaul. Her goal 38 seconds into the first extra 10 minutes not only broke a three-game losing streak but also gave the Scarlet Knights momentum in their 2-2 tie Sunday with No. 24 Notre Dame. But sophomore forward Cassie Inacio was on the other side of that scoring play, dribbling through the defense to find a streaking Filigno. Head coach Glenn Crooks saw the play coming before the overtime kickoff even began, as she had the same opportunity with time winding down in the second half and demonstrated the ability to break free in recent weeks. “The game winner to Jonelle was classic Cassie,” Crooks said. “I haven’t seen any players in the league do it better than her when she burst out of the midfield and runs at pace with the ball. She is very, very dangerous.” Inacio, on the other hand, had doubts she would see another opportunity like she did in the second period. “At half time Coach [Crooks] was like, ‘Well, next time you could have done a scissor SEE
