Campus walk-a-thon helps fund literacy efforts in Haiti BY LISA BERKMAN CORRESPONDENT
Though the earthquake hit Haiti two years ago, devastation from its 7.0 magnitude still lingers. With 316,000 citizens killed and 1.5 million displaced, the country is in desperate need of humanitarian assistance. The Galvanizing and Organizing Youth Activism Project responded to this demand by organizing a walk-a-thon on Saturday. The board donated its profits to N.J. for Haiti to build an academic infrastructure in the hope of improving education in towns like Carrefour, which is near the countr y’s capital. “If you have more educated people, they’ll be able to have their opportunities,” said Pratima Ramkissoon, vice president of GOYA. “They’ll be able to make better decisions politically and economically. It’s a wave effect from generation to
generation, the more educated you can make the community.” Around 60 people attended the 5k walka-thon, which raised $663.66 with $7 minimum donation requirement — just enough to afford one shipment of school supplies being stored by N.J. for Haiti, which has been active since the earthquake, said Ramkissoon, a School of Arts and Sciences senior. “All the medical supplies were sent to Haiti immediately,” Ramkissoon said. “But now … they have just books and uniforms and pencils and papers and all that stuff just sitting there, so we raised money to help them send those donations to Haiti now.” But there is a problem — most of the books are in English. While it is becoming more widely used after the humanitarian intervention in 2010, most Haitians can only speak SEE

Many University students have taken steps toward their futures, and Anthony School of Arts Bonelli, a School of and Sciences Arts and Sciences senSenior ior, is no exception. Though he never had the chance to play sports growing up with cerebral palsy, he fell in love with them at age 4. Bonelli, who is working for his bachelor’s degree in journalism and media studies, is an aspiring sports broadcaster. “I want to cover every major sporting event, from the World Series to the Super Bowl,” he said. “I’ll even cover the Daytona 500 if I get the chance.” One of the biggest misconceptions Bonelli faces is the assumption that he does not live a normal life. Despite his disability, he is currently an active club member on campus, working as a sports analyst for WRSU. This weekend, he hosted the pre- and post-game shows for the Temple Owls versus the Scarlet Knights. Bonelli, a transfer student from Warren Community College, is in his last year at the University. After he graduates, he hopes to find a job in sports. “Right now I’m trying to get into the Rutgers men’s basketball team as a scout,” he said. The student has overcome some obstacles to get to where he is today. At 10 days old, Bonelli suffered a brain hemorrhage that caused his

cerebral palsy — a disorder that affects his speech and mobility. He now relies on a personal aide, motorized wheelchair and speech programs to help with learning and communication. “The way I was brought up, everyone has obstacles, [and] mine are a little more challenging. The only difference between me and everyone else is that my chair has wheels,” he said. “I do the same coursework and assignments as everybody else.” Bonelli said he always had a fear of public speaking until he was 14 years old, when he attended the Bruce Beck and Ian Eagle Sports Broadcasting Camp at Montclair State University. “They asked us to read off a teleprompter, and I froze. Bruce Beck came over and [put] out his hand on my shoulder and asked me if I wanted to do it,” he said. “I took a deep breath and just started reading.” Once getting comfortable reading off of a camera, Bonelli started to become more comfortable speaking to people in general. He now returns to the camp to help inspire the younger generations that now attend. “I go back every year and talk to the kids and tell them about my experiences. I give all the credit to the camp, without them I wouldn’t know where I would be today,” he said. Diane Bonelli, Anthony’s mother, said the University community has embraced her son without question and has really helped shape him into the person he is today. “The Rutgers family has embraced SEE

Barchi: UMDNJ integration will take time, resources BY BRIANNA PROVENZANO STAFF WRITER
University President Robert L. Barchi addressed the University Senate Friday about the ongoing integration process with the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey. While he acknowledged the time-consuming nature of the integration efforts, Barchi said his administration is dedicated to focusing on the big picture. “Believe me, we’re trying our best to spread our attention around but this is one of those areas that’s very, very large with lots of moving parts and we have to get it right,” he said. Barchi said the process of integration is split into two focuses. One is the challenge of identifying all of the various administrative pieces of the process, such as faculty and staff payroll.
The second focus involves providing University governing boards with data for decisions on risk environment and how the University will ultimately access capital once the integration is completed, he said. Barchi said the formulation of a strategic plan to organize the University’s goals involves moving in a broader trajectory. “The concept here is that we need to engage the entire University community and all our constituents in the development of the usual kind of vision, values and mission statements,” he said. To develop this strategy, Barchi said the University community must identify five or six major areas to invest in and expand upon. “[We must decide] where we want to see ourselves differentiating the University in the marketplace, where we want to be either bolstering the skill set that we have and the values that we have or building new opportu-
nities and strengths that we don’t have now,” Barchi said. Students, faculty, staff, alumni and governing bodies at the University must all work together in developing this plan for how to move forward, he said. The Budget and Finance Committee, along with the Research and Graduate and Professional Education Committee, gave reports at the meeting. The Budget and Finance Committee recommended establishing a faculty-student advisory committee that would seek input about Information Technology services from the different academic units, which the senate approved. The Research and Graduate and Professional Education Committee’s proposal to establish an open-access policy, which 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. Scan this QR code to visit dailytargum.com

Students walk, design shirts to break negative labels T-shirts are used to give derogatory labels context, bring attention to issue BY KARMA ALLEN CONTRIBUTING WRITER
With the words “be quiet” prominently displayed across her T-shirt, a student walked around Douglass campus to bring attention to some derogatory labels students give to each other. Sarah Deaver, the Mason Gross School of the Arts first-year student who made that shirt, said it does not matter what others think of her. “Labels were created by negative people for negative reasons, and fighting that is a way to be proactive, pro-life and pro-humanity,” Deaver said. As part of an effort to raise awareness about the impact labels can have on individuals, Deaver and more than 20 other students came together for a label walk, an event organized by the Human Rights House, a living-learning community on Douglass campus. Members of the organization set up three large tables in front of the Douglass Campus Center, where students decorated T-shirts Saturday with messages meant to bring
attention to derogator y labels people place on others. “We want people to decorate a shirt with a negative term they’ve been labeled with on the front and the explanation or reason of why it hurts them on the back,” said Francine Glaser, a Human Rights House member. Carly Lachenauer, a Human Rights House member, said many students decorated shirts with their own meanings. “With the exception of a few, everyone who came by treated it like it was a really important thing,” said Lachenauer, a School of Arts and Sciences junior. Behind Lachenauer were two rows of clotheslines with more than 40 colorfully decorated white T-shirts on them. Male students created half of the T-shirts, she said. “It kind of gets shoved under the rug that [men] are negatively affected by it also, and a lot times they feel like they can’t speak out about it,” Lachenauer said. “That’s why our theme today is breaking the silence.” Nicole Deniflee, a School of Arts and Sciences sophomore,
said she was surprised by the amount of men that showed up. “The label walk is meant to break the silence about sexually themed violence. I think [men] get turned off when they hear terms like ‘sexual violence,’” she said. “[Many] men automatically assume that women on the Douglass campus are anti-male, feminist, lesbians or man-haters, and that is not true.” Glaser, a School of Arts and Sciences sophomore, said labels
“Labels were created by negative people for negative reasons.” SARAH DEAVER Mason Gross School of the Arts First-Year Student
given to men that are intended to boost their confidence, such as ‘pimp’ or ‘stud,’ can also hurt them. “Someone made a shirt with ‘prick’ on it, I forgot about that term, and ‘bastard’ — that’s usually ascribed to men. There are many terms that are brushed under the rug,” she said. Mark Zappala, a Mason Gross School of the Arts first-year student who participated in the event, said he has not directly experienced verbal slurs while at the University. “I haven’t come in contact with anyone who would use negative [or] derogatory terms to
address me. But I have heard people jokingly use words like ‘pussy’ and ‘faggot’ without realizing what the actual word means or the pain it can cause for some people,” he said. Zappala said labels could be crippling for some people, especially when they refer to things they cannot change about themselves, like race and sexuality. As he designed his T-shirt, Zappala said the event is important and necessary to participate in because it provides a context for derogatory terms to be displayed on T-shirts. “The context is often lost, and we use words without seeing the effect [that] they have on people. When you speak you should be considerate of other people,” Zappala said. He said in an ideal world, people would feel self-secure and would not have to label others to feel better. “Labeling others [comes] from feeling uncomfortable about yourself,” he said. During the walk, Human Rights House members and more than 20 supporters walked from the Douglass Campus Center, looped around Passion Puddle and headed back to the campus center. The supporters wore their T-shirts with a label they have
been called while chanting “Acceptance for all, that is our call,” and, “We will not be labeled, we will not be defined and the people united will never be divided.” Upon returning to the Douglass Campus Center, supporters took off their shirts and hung them on the clothesline. Frangy Pozo, a School of Arts and Sciences sophomore who participated in the walk, said she walked to break common labels. She said people in society feel the need to classify others and tell people who they are and what they should be. “Walking today is my way of saying, ‘Enough is enough.’ I’m sick and tired of people being categorized based on their attitudes, the way they look or their sexual orientation,” she said. Pozo said she used to feel like she had to have a double identity to be accepted, but after she transferred to the University, she no longer feels the need to act like two different people. “I would act one way around my Caucasian friends and another way around my ethnic friends just to fit in,” she said. “Because I am articulate, I’ve been labeled as acting white. I would try to use slang when talking to certain friends just so I wouldn’t be labeled.” KARMA ALLEN

HAITI Schools in Haiti lack French, Creole books, Edouard says CONTINUED FROM FRONT French and Creole. The organization, however, is doing all it can to make the books more accessible to Haitian students, said Valeria Edouard, president of GOYA. “N.J. for Haiti tries to reach out to French publications for translation,” she said. “Sometimes hired local teachers and instructors are even able to translate in the classroom, which is important because sometimes they have as many as 40 to 50 students, and the translation can get lost.” Samantha Martin, treasurer of GOYA, said the organization was surprised at the amount raised, because they hoped to bring in more from the walk-a-thon. But the important thing is that they got at least one shipment out, which could help advance the educational dynamic, she said. “The turnout was not as we had expected because there were other events going on,” said Martin, a School of Arts and Sciences sophomore. “But we were able to reach our goal.” The student organization was developed by the Teachers’ Association for the Global
INTEGRATION Open Access policy will make U. studies easier to find online CONTINUED FROM FRONT would make scholarship from University faculty and students available on the Internet, was also approved. Jane Otto, co-chair of the Open Access Subcommittee, said the policy would have University faculty and students deposit articles accepted for publication into an institutional repository. She said the policy would not affect publication patterns or systems of peer review and would come at no cost to the authors. “The objective is to make our scholarship publicly available on the Internet. ... It disseminates our scholarship more widely and makes it more visible, both locally and in the world,” Otto said. Otto said the subcommittee reviewed open access policies of other universities, eventually using a template provided by Harvard University to draft its report. Since more than 140 universities currently have open access policies in place, Otto said the University would not be setting a radical precedent. “Open access fits very well with our mission to expand visibility for Rutgers scholarship — it furthers our strategic goals of international impact and collaboration,” Otto said. “Clearly the further your research goes out there, the more opportunities you will have for collaboration.” Otto said the policy would have local benefits as well as global ones. “An open-access policy allows us to better demonstrate Rutgers’ values to New Jersey and the citizens of New Jersey. ... One might say that it’s the responsibility of a
Literacy Project to help rectify a growing problem in New Jersey, Ramkissoon said. This reality now inspires them to help local communities by providing services to educational facilities. “Locally, in New Brunswick, a lot of children are not achieving advanced proficiency on their literacy tests,” she said. “That was one of the reasons the teachers who started the organization were so moved to focus on literacy and try to better help educate the kids locally and globally.” Edouard said she hopes improving education in the United States will inspire third world countries to do the same, but this goal is a little idealistic. “As Americans, we pride ourselves in thinking that the rest of the world should follow suit because we have reached this level of power,” Edouard said. “But there’s a lot we can learn from other people.” The organization plans to send members to Haiti over spring break to do some hands-on volunteering. Students often travel abroad to help out in various developing countries, said Denniston Bonadie, faculty advisor for GOYA. “The volunteers will work with several school children in orphanages,” he said. “They will be creating a library corner, repainting, putting in some book cases and books, and putting in some chairs. They would actually do something tangible as a gift to the kids.”
public university to make accessible to taxpayers the scholarship that they find,” Otto said. Barchi said he supports the committee’s resolution because it is an important step in growing intellectual enterprise across the world. “We do have obligations to the developing world and our scientific colleagues who are in locations that do not have access to journals, cannot afford journals and cannot get to the scientific literature,” he said. During the question and answer portion of the meeting, School of Arts and Sciences junior Joseph Cashin, the student representative on the Board of Governors, asked the president to elaborate on an idea that he referred to as “One Rutgers.” Barchi said the plan was not being constructed from the top down but rather is his own personal view that the University should exist as a united institution, not several campuses fighting for resources and duplicating programs unnecessarily. “My view is that in order to generate the kind of impact we need, and the kind of presence we want, we should be thinking of Rutgers as an integrated entity, ‘One Rutgers,’” Barchi said. Eileen Kim, a campus organizer for New Jersey Public Interest Research Group, asked Barchi to outline the administration’s efforts to spread the word about the $750 million bond referendum to build new higher education facilities, which will be on the ballot Nov. 6. Though support for the referendum looks strong, he said, it is imperative that efforts to spread awareness continue. “The last couple surveys that we’ve seen out there have been positive, but we need to make this absolutely the strongest majority ‘yes’ vote that we can make it because it has been 25 years since we did this,” Barchi said.
CAREER Bonelli uses voice recognition software to write blog posts CONTINUED FROM FRONT Anthony and made his life a lot easier compared to his K-12 experience,” she said. “Because of that, Anthony’s confidence has blossomed into a young man who will not be stopped.” Anthony Bonelli’s confidence has taken him to places some only dream of going — he has met and interviewed professional athletes, and has even covered the Basketball Hall of Fame induction ceremony. One of his favorite interviews was with Karl Malone, a player he watched growing up. Anthony Bonelli attended a conference with Malone and got his picture taken, but Malone had moved on before he could thank him. The following day, he got his chance. “It’s hard not to be starstruck when you meet these guys,” Anthony Bonelli said. “He came over and said that he remembered
me from the previous day. He said the jacket he was given for the hall of fame was too small and didn’t fit so he gave it to me. That was a great experience.” Last summer, Anthony Bonelli had an internship with the Office of Instructional and Research Technology, which enabled him to use advancing technology while writing blog posts, something he was told he would not be able to do. “I wrote 15 blog posts in eight weeks,” he said. Gayle Stein, associate director of Instructional Technology who taught Anthony Bonelli in a previous course, told him about the internship. “Anthony Bonelli is a remarkable man who doesn’t know how remarkable he is. It was my first opportunity to meet someone with cerebral palsy and Anthony’s first opportunity in a large university course,” Stein said. Anthony Bonelli approached Stein about an internship last year and was given the chance to use voice recognition software. “Based on his ability to master this technology, Anthony was able to blog without the aid of a typist,” Stein said.
Anthony Bonelli has a personal aide to help him with the adjustment and with his day-to-day routines. Richard Thompson, a private personal aide, has been with Anthony Bonelli for about two years. “I sit in the classes with him,” he said. “I have learned a lot with him.” Thompson said the transition was tough because the University has not accommodated someone like Anthony Bonelli before, but did everything they could to help. “The adjustment was a tall order. The university scanned his books into a computer so that they would be read to him,” Thompson said. “Now he can also write by speaking. People would find it difficult to understand him at first, but [it] got easier as time went on.” Through it all, Diane Bonelli said people have always had high expectations for her son, and he has exceeded every one of them. “I remember when he was about a year old, I took him to the neurologist and I asked him point blank, ‘Dr. Barabas, will Anthony talk?’” she said. “He responded, ‘Mrs. Bonelli, he is your son, what do you think?’”

Lebanon protestors try to storm government palace Soldiers fire tear gas during protest following intelligence chief ’s funeral THE ASSOCIATED PRESS BEIRUT — The funeral for Lebanon’s slain intelligence chief descended into chaos yesterday as soldiers fired tear gas at protesters who tried to storm the government palace, directing their rage at a leadership they consider puppets of a murderous Syrian regime. The assassination of Brig. Gen. Wissam al-Hassan in a massive car bomb Friday threatens to shatter the fragile political balance in Lebanon, a countr y plagued by decades of strife — much of it linked to political and militar y domination by Damascus. “The Sunni blood is boiling!” the crowd chanted as hundreds of people clashed with security forces. More than 100 protesters broke through a police cordon of concer tina wire and metal gates, putting them within 50 yards (meters) of the entrance to the palace. Authorities responded with tear gas and several of ficers
fired machine guns and rifles in the air. One plain-clothes guard pulled a pistol from his belt and fired over protesters’ heads. Then a roar of automatic gunfire erupted, sending the protesters scattering for cover. It was unclear if the guards fired live bullets or blanks, but no protesters were repor ted injured by gunfire. Several were overcome by tear gas, and the government’s media office said 15 guards were injured. The killing of al-Hassan has laid bare some of Lebanon’s most intractable issues: the countr y’s dark histor y of sectarian divisions, its links to the powerful regime in Damascus and the role of Hezbollah, the Shiite militant group that dominates Lebanon’s government and is Syria’s closest ally. Many fear the crisis could lead to the kind of street protests and violence that have been the scourge of this Arab countr y of 4 million people for years, including a devastating 1975-1990 civil war and sectari-
an battles between Sunnis and Shiites in 2008. Al-Hassan, 47, was a powerful opponent of Syria in Lebanon. He headed an investigation over the summer that led to the arrest of former Information Minister Michel Samaha, one of Syria’s most loyal allies in Lebanon.
“Everything suggests that it’s an extension of the Syrian tragedy.” LAURENT FABIUS French Foreign Minister
He also led the inquir y that implicated Syria and Hezbollah in the assassination of former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri in 2005. Al-Hassan was buried near Hariri in Beir ut’s central Mar tyrs Square, where thousands of people gathered earlier Sunday for the funeral. TV footage showed al-Hassan’s wife Anna, his young sons Majd and Mazen, and his parents shedding tears near his cof fin.
There were significant parallels between the life and death of Hariri and al-Hassan — both powerful Sunni figures struck down by car bombs at a time when they were seen to be opposing Syria. Syria denies any role in either killing. Hariri’s death sparked massive street protests in Lebanon that forced Damascus to withdraw its tens of thousands of troops from the countr y. AlHassan’s killing, seven years later, has not had such a galvanizing ef fect: Turnout at his funeral fell well short of expectations, suggesting the country’s anti-Syria bloc is rudderless. Friday’s killing also exacerbated sectarian tensions, which already were enflamed over the crisis in Syria. Many of Lebanon’s Sunni Muslims have backed Syria’s mainly Sunni rebels, while Shiite Muslims have tended to back Syrian President Bashar Assad’s regime. French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius said it was likely that Assad’s government had a hand in Friday’s assassination. Fabius told Europe-1 radio that while it was not fully clear who was behind the attack, it
was “probable” that Syria played a role. “Ever ything suggests that it’s an extension of the Syrian tragedy,” he said. Security officials have said seven others were killed in the car bomb, including al-Hassan’s bodyguard. But Lebanon’s National News Agency said yesterday that the final death toll was three: al-Hassan, his bodyguard and a civilian woman. The discrepancy could not immediately be explained, though authorities said earlier that the death toll was determined based on body par ts found at the blast site. Al-Hassan knew his life was in danger because of his position as head of the intelligence division of Lebanon’s domestic security forces, a role he took over in 2006. Mindful of the countr y’s histor y of political assassinations, he moved his family to Paris. A highly secretive man who traveled under tight security, few Lebanese even knew what he looked like until recent years. He was believed to keep a room at police headquarters to limit his travel through the streets of Beirut.

Ignorance threatens bond passage COMMUNITY MATTERS SAM BERMAN
S
o far this year, I have avoided writing explicitly about the November election. This has been difficult for me. As a political science major, as someone who wants to work in politics after he graduates, as someone who is passionate about the game of power in America, I have had to work very hard to suppress the urge to discuss the ups and downs of the presidential election cycle. I did this because I wished to focus my columns on issues which directly affect students — in other words, as one interpretation of the title of my column suggests, I’ve wanted to focus on very local issues in the University and New Brunswick communities. But, as I tell people all the time, it is a mistake to think elections — even national elections — won’t impact your community in real ways. The Federalists who drafted the Constitution, of course, envisioned a world where ordinary citizens rarely had to deal with the national government. Father Time had different plans, and over the years more and more responsibility ended up in the hands of the national government, and now things like federal research grants or financial aid for students (which more than 70 percent of University students receive in some form) depend a great deal on the federal budget. As students, then, who we elect to Congress or the White House will have tangible effects on our University. Additionally, the University, as a public institution, relies heavily on state appropriations to fund its operation — or used to. In 1990, state appropriations accounted for two thirds of the University’s total revenue, tuition and fees for the other third. Since that time, those proportions have switched, so that today the student pays for two thirds of the University’s operating costs and the state for only a third. In other words, if steadily rising tuition worries you, pay attention to who you send to work in Trenton in any given election cycle (though the New Jersey cycle is offset from the national cycle by one year, so you won’t have to worry about that decision until next year). This year, though, there will be something on the ballot that will make it more important, from the standpoint of its impact on campus and in the local community, than any in recent memory. You may have heard about the bond referendum on the ballot in November. For those of you who haven’t, here is a brief overview. The Democratic-controlled state legislature and the Republican governor have agreed — with remarkably little fanfare — to float, for the state, $750 million in bonds for the purpose of “capital construction” at institutions of higher education all over New Jersey. Specifically, this money will be allocated for the construction of non-revenue-generat-
ing buildings — in other words, classrooms, labs, and other academic buildings. In addition, participating institutions are required to match 25 percent of what they receive out of this pool of money, thereby ensuring accountability in how the money is spent. However, New Jersey law requires that any legislation which takes on new debt must be approved by the people of the state, and so in November, when you go to your polling place to cast your ballot, if you look all the way down to the bottom of the ballot, there will be two “public questions” (the first one, public question 1, being the bond referendum) for your approval. You will have the opportunity, if you remember to look all the way down-ballot, to vote yea or nay on a bill that would have huge implications for our campus — not to mention your wallet. And that’s the crux of the issue — the fact that the question is at the bottom of the ballot has what may seem like outsized implications for the outcome of the election. Indeed, it may seem ridiculous that something like where the physical location of the question on the ballot itself could impact whether or not the measure is approved — nonetheless, statistics show that about 50 percent of voters don’t make it all the way downballot. And if a majority of N.J. voters don’t approve the bond act, the referendum will fail. Ultimately, that is the main obstacle to approval of the Building Our Future Bond Act, as this law is called. There is surprisingly little opposition — the business community, the political elite of both parties, students, faculty, school administrators — everyone is united in support of this bill. It is very rare, especially in New Jersey, to see this kind of a united front. In addition, the bill polls very well, seeing 62 percent support (compared with 27 percent opposition) according to Eagleton polling, but only after the measure itself is explained to the respondent. In other words, voter ignorance, above all, threatens the safe passage of this bond act. As such, I urge you all to recognize that to fail to cast a vote for the Building Our Future act makes its ultimate passage more difficult — and is thus, by default, a vote against. So remember, in November, if you support the Building Our Future Bond Act (and we all should, as I will argue in future forums) the first thing you should do when you go to exercise your civic duty is look all the way down-ballot, read public question 1, and cast your vote whichever way you are inclined to do so. Because, while everything else on the ballot will have indirect consequences for our campus and our community, this particular question is aimed squarely at the state of higher education in New Jersey. That means us. This is what democracy was meant for. Sam Berman is a School of Arts and Sciences junior. His column, “Community Matters,” runs on alternate Mondays.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Healthy options are available to students I read with interest the opinions piece on weight gain in Friday’s issue of The Daily Targum, entitled, “Combatting weight gain, college-style.” My first year of college was many years ago at a dif ferent school than the University. Happily, my weight did not change much during those first years away from home. However in a way somewhat similar to the author, the weight gain caught up to me by the beginning of my middle age. During a visit to my doctor I found out I was borderline obese. Fortunately during the next year I actually did lose a lot of weight, which was really good for my health even though I was still very much overweight. I thought that the author identifies with overweight Americans as opposed to college students because students typically have a weight in the normal range. I see more overweight people in New Brunswick and elsewhere than on campus. I am surprised the columnist implies that healthy food is not available to the students. I eat three meals nearly every day in the dining halls using a meal plan. Before most meals, I go
to http://food.rutgers.edu/ and click on Menus. There I find nutrition information about the food offered at any meal in any dining hall. Similar to the author, I have drawers filled with discarded trousers with waists too big to stay on my hips. I have made the decision that I will not be a glutton. A holiday meal with delicious food is not a reason, in my opinion, to take extra helpings. When I eat, I put 3 servings of food (an entrée, a starch and a serving of vegetables) on my plate. I take one fruit and one or two glasses of diet Pepsi. Usually I eat at the Brower Commons dining hall where I can get sugar-free Jell-O for dessert. That is my meal. I forgo seconds. If I go somewhere where there is free food, I pass it up especially if I have just eaten a meal. I do not eat snacks. Neither is a bake sale a reason to buy something sweet. Using the above plan is the reason I have been able to stop my weight from fluctuating. Also, I wait until I feel hungry before eating my next meal. I go to http://food.rutgers.edu/ and click on Places to Eat and then Student Main Dining Room to get the hours of the meal times at the dining halls.

Junior cornerback Logan Ryan earned his third interception of the season Saturday against Temple quarterback Chris Coyer. NOAH WHITTENBURG, PHOTOGRAPHY EDITOR
POSITION Rutgers supporters outnumber Temple fans in Philadelphia CONTINUED FROM BACK They added two turnovers, one of which led to a defensive touchdown when junior defensive tackle Jamil Merrell stripped Coyer deep in Owl territory and Greene picked up the ball and took it into the end zone. Rutgers forced three turnovers against a team that only gave the ball away five times in as many games this season. But as impressive as the Rutgers defense was in the second half, head coach Kyle Flood said the group might have been more important in the first half, compensating for a stagnant offense. “The first half, I thought our defense did a tremendous job fighting through very uphill field position situations to limit Temple to 10 points,” Flood said. “That was one of the bigger events in the game as we went for ward, because it certainly could have been more had we not played as good of defense as we did in the first half.” Temple began three first-half drives in Rutgers territory and only starting two drives inside their own 30-yard line, two of which led to scores and the third a missed field goal. Because Flood viewed the first half as more of a positive on the defensive end than a failure on offense, he did not tear into his team at the halftime break. He said the offense was very close to being where it needed to be. Halftime adjustments brought that out as Rutgers took control of the game. It did so by picking up first downs and earning more possession time. The Knights held the
ball for more than twice as much time in the third quarter. The Owls had seven more minutes of possession time in the first half. “If you don’t have first downs, it’s tough to have time,” Flood said. “You don’t have time of possession when you don’t have first downs.” Junior cor nerback Logan Ryan, who entered Saturday’s game as the Big East leader in pass breakups, lived up to his reputation. Ryan, a native of Berlin, N.J. — roughly a 15- or 20minute drive from Lincoln Financial Field — had three pass breakups and the third interception of Coyer this season. But Flood believes his pass defense only tells half of the stor y. “What makes Logan such a good football player is his ability to affect the run game, as well,” Flood said. “He’s not a cover corner. … [As a Rutgers corner], you have to be able to fit into the run game. You have to be able to blitz, and he really is a complete player.” Ryan had some help from the crowd, which appeared to be composed more of scarlet than cherry red. “I give our fans so much credit,” Ryan said. “They travel and they made it feel like a home game. It was just amazing out there.” Senior wide receiver Tim Wright had a bounce-back game against Temple. After failing to record a single catch Oct. 13 against Syracuse, Wright caught five passes for 68 yards and the first of Rutgers’ five touchdowns. “I believe my touchdown gave a lot of spark to the offense,” Wright said. “It gave a lot of spark to our sideline a little bit because our sideline was down a little bit. We needed a big play.” For updates on the Rutgers football team, follow Joey Gregory on Twitter @JGregoryTargum.

SPORTS PAGE 14 SWIMMING, DIVING JUNIOR WINS BOTH 1-, 3-METER EVENTS AT INVITATIONAL
Knights open year with strong showing at home BY MIKE MORTON STAFF WRITER
The Rutgers swimming and diving team splashed into action this weekend when it opened the season with the annual Sony Werblin Invitational. The Scarlet Knights played host to seven teams that traveled to the Rutgers Aquatic Center to par ticipate in the event. The Knights earned 15 first-place finishes at the invitational, including winning all four relay events. The results have head coach Phil Spiniello feeling optimistic about the upcoming season. “I was really happy with the way we started out on Friday and Saturday,” he said. “It’s good to see where we’re at with our swimming and diving right now, and what we need to improve on heading into our dual meet season on Friday.” Junior Mary Moser and freshman Johanna Wu highlighted the Knights’ play, winning three events each. Freshman Morgan
Pfaff followed them up, winning two events. But the freshman class’s impressive per formance comes as no surprise to Spiniello, |who believed the freshmen would transition nicely to college swimming. “I was excited to see the freshmen come out and make an immediate impact,” he said. “I knew they were a strong, versatile group of swimmers. I was impressed with their performance in their first college meet. It’s a sign of good things to come.” But the divers impressed Spiniello the most, he said. Junior Nicole Scott led the way for the diving team, winning won both the 1-meter and 3-meter events. Sophomore Nicole Honey also contributed impressive dives and already qualified for the Zone Diving Championships. “I was most impressed by the divers’ per formance on the board,” Spiniello said. “It was a really dominating
per formance on the boards this past weekend.” Of the seven teams that participated in the Sony Werblin Invitational, four were college teams and three were club teams. Spiniello believes playing against a wide variety of teams and athletes was good preparation for the season ahead. “It was good competition,” Spiniello said. “It’s who we need to be competing against right now to get us prepared for our dual meet season ahead of us.” Rutgers’ next meet takes place Friday when it faces Wagner in a dual meet at 4 p.m. at the Rutgers Aquatic Center. The Knights will learn from their per formance this weekend to improve for the meet, Spiniello said. “We have to work on the details of our swimming and diving, and really cleaning out some star ts and tur ns,” he said. “I think ever yone walked away with something they need to work on during the course of this week.”

Defense breaks down in loss BY JOSH BAKAN ASSOCIATE SPORTS EDITOR
Sophomore forward Stefanie Scholz scored the second of two Rutgers goals against Seton Hall, securing a playoff berth.
Sophomore Bobby Spracklin had the chance to write a storybook ending to his first career start Saturday with the Rutgers men’s soccer team. Filling in at defender, he gradually grasped how to handle playing a full 90 minutes in college. He concluded his start by heading a shot in the 89th minute, but it went wide in Cincinnati’s 1-0 victory. “I was just trying to keep up with the team’s speed,” Spracklin said. “With practices and everything, the team moves pretty fast. In a game, it was a little hard to adjust to it.” Spracklin did not play a minute of his freshman season and then played spurts of seven games this year.
Freshman defender Mitchell Taintor was suspended against Cincinnati (6-7-4, 3-2-2) because he received his fifth yellow card of the season in the previous game. That caused senior Dragan Naumoski to shift to middle back and Spracklin to fill in for Naumoski on the right. “That forces us to kind of play guys out of position, and that forces us to bring in a guy who hasn’t played many minutes at all in Bobby Spracklin,” said head coach Dan Donigan. “Although he performed OK, it’s not the same as what we’ve been doing our whole season.” The Scarlet Knights’ (6-7-1, 2-41) defense broke down only a minute before Spracklin’s one shot of the game, when forward Cole DeNormandie whipped it into Rutgers’ goal from the left side.

RU earns postseason berth against Pirates BY BRADLY DERECHAILO CORRESPONDENT
SOUTH ORANGE, N.J. — Two goals by junior for ward Jonelle Filigno would have given her sole possession of most goals scored in a single season for the Rutgers women’s soccer team. And while a goal from sophomore for ward Stefanie Scholz late in the second half secured a 2-0 victor y against Seton Hall on Friday, Filigno would not have minded if both goals were from her. But the victory secured a spot in the Big East Tournament for the Scarlet Knights, an accomplishment Filigno sees as the most important part to come out of the win. “Most impor tantly, the team got through,” Filigno said. “I really wanted it badly, but we are through, and that’s all that matters.” Filigno took a pass from the midfield in the 73rd minute and headed it to Scholz, who proceeded to drill her second goal of the season to put the Knights up, 2-0, against the Pirates. Scholz’s goal, paired with freshman forward Rachel Cole’s score in the first half, allowed Rutgers to play conservatively, letting Seton Hall control the ball for most of the second half. But the Pirates could never find the back of the net. But what Seton Hall lacked in attack, it more than made up for on the physical side. Senior defender Tricia DiPaolo highlighted that play in the 57th minute, when she got away with a hold in the box on Pirates forward Stephanie Soma. Soma, frustrated with the call, pushed back, which led to the first yellow card of the game. “That’s college soccer,” said head coach Glenn Crooks. “College soccer is physical at the Division-I level. I can’t think of too many games that I’ve been involved in as a coach where the physical aspect of the game did not play some role in the match. If you aren’t up to it, you can be on the wrong side of the score.”
While the Knights only managed to get five shots off in the first period, Cole made the best of a whistled tackled on Filigno late in the first half. Cole, who came off the bench, converted on a set piece from 25 yards out to give Rutgers a 1-0 lead, drilling her third goal of the season behind Pirate goalkeeper Alyssa Kelly in the top left corner of the net. “Jonelle got fouled and we both went up to kick the free kick, and I was like, ‘I got this,’” Cole said. “I was thinking of just putting it on the ground through, but the last couple of times it didn’t work, so I figured I’d just go for it.” The free shot in the 42nd minute was one of many opportunities for Rutgers. The Knights dictated play during the first half but could not get clean shots. Save for a Seton Hall shot in the 11th minute that went right to senior goalkeeper Emmy Simpkins — her third save of the night — the Pirates did not get off any clean shots against Rutgers’ defense in the first half, when the Knights were more focused on attack. “It was a typical Seton HallRutgers match where we almost always know coming in that it is going to be a close match in terms of the score line,” Crooks said. Filigno shot only once in the first half, an open strike in the 11th minute right to Kelly. Filigno’s low shot total gave her little chance to break the single-season goals record for Rutgers, but she is fine with a hard-fought road victory and a berth in the Big East Tournament. “It was a good win,” Filigno said. “We knew that we were through [conference play], but we needed to finish on a good note going into the Big East Tournament, so overall from front to back I think we had a solid performance.” For updates on the Rutgers women’s soccer team, follow Bradly Derechailo on Twitter @BradlyDTargum.

The mistake was consequential, but Naumoski had a better view than usual on defense in the middle and thought the backfield performed well for most of Taintor’s absence. “Taintor’s very physical. He’s good in the air, so we obviously lost in those departments, but we did well for 88 minutes,” Naumoski said. “Then we just had the one goal that cost us the game.” The defense was successful in fending off 18 Bearcats shots, only two of which senior goalie Kevin McMullen needed to save. A win would have placed Rutgers in a tie for the fourth seed, and that was the difference between the Knights defending or fighting for a tournament berth. “You really can’t just sugarcoat things all the time, so you have to kind of let them know what’s at stake and what they’re playing for,” Donigan said. “And when you don’t get the results you need, it’s difficult to swallow.” Rutgers had its chances to score and amend its status to contend for the Big East Tournament, but Cincinnati brushed those off. Even though the game did not end happily for Rutgers and even if the season will not, Spracklin did not shy away from the moment. “It’s probably the biggest game I’ve ever played in at any level,” Spracklin said.

POWER PLAY Knights overcome early blunders at Temple, answer with four offensive touchdowns in second half in 25-point rout BY TYLER BARTO SPORTS EDITOR
PHILADELPHIA — The mild-mannered Kyle Flood offered no words of motivation Saturday, no antidote to the Rutgers football team’s offense’s first-half woes. He deferred to the Scarlet Knights’ veterans, who sat
inside the locker room at Lincoln Financial Field staring down a 10-point deficit. They made their share of noise in those 20 minutes between halves, but left enough for a final half hour, scoring five touchdowns in the second half to beat Temple, 35-10. “Offensively, I think it was pretty clear to the coaches in the box and us on the
sideline that we weren’t that far away,” Flood said. “But in offensive football, when you’re not that far away, it seems like you’re miles away.” Gary Nova came the farthest. The sophomore quarterback went 11-for-13 in the third quarter for 166 yards and three touchdowns, lifting the No. 18 Knights (7-0, 4-0) from their
first-half grogginess. He managed only five completions in the first half. “If we thought it was going to be a smooth ride through, we were definitely wrong,” Nova said. “We knew we were going to face adversity. We weren’t worried.” SEE

The team that began the game was not 6-0 Rutgers. The Knights allowed Temple 87 yards on the ground in the first 30 minutes — nearly more than it allowed any team in a full game all season — while gaining only 110 yards of total offense. Owls quarterback Chris Coyer completed six of his eight pass attempts for 61 yards and
a touchdown, while Rutgers sophomore Gary Nova went 5-for-12 and threw his first interception since the second game of the season. But a much improved team emerged from the locker room to start the third quarter. “It was just getting back to playing our ball. That was it,” said senior linebacker Khaseem Greene. “That wasn’t us in the first half and
became the first member of the Rutgers football team to lead it in rushing and receiving in one game since Mohamed Sanu did so in 2010 versus Tulane.
