Mayor of Highland Park shares leadership stories BY ALEX MEIER CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Highland Park Mayor Gary Minkoff came to the University yesterday to share how his experiences shaped his view of public service and leadership. The Bloustein Public Ser vice Association hosted the talks as part of a Speaker Series in Scott Hall on the College Avenue campus. Michael Wong, Bloustein Public Service Association president, said he handpicked Minkoff to be featured in the Speaker Series because of the mayor’s 28 years of business and professional experience. “He has a solid background ... he serves as an executive director in multiple non-profit organizations. He oversees a municipality of over 14,000 peo-

ple and manages a budget of nearly $18 million,” Wong said. Minkoff, a University alumnus and Rutgers Business School part-time lecturer, said he learned a lot about being a proactive leader on his journey to where he is today. “When I complained about my disappointment after attending an organizational meeting for student council in junior high school, [my mother] said ‘Anyone can complain about what’s wrong. If you really care, then get involved, be positive, and make a difference,’” Minkoff said. Minkoff shared his experiences as a leader, and cited the University as a big part of his success. As a former member of the WRSU Radio Council, Minkoff remembered a SEE

After months of debate, the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey is set to integrate with Rutgers University on July 1, 2013 — a move that will expand the Rutgers brand across the state. The various schools and institutes that once belonged to UMDNJ will take on the University’s name with the newly developed Rutgers Biomedical and Health Sciences branch. The School of Biomedical and Health Sciences will encompass seven UMDNJ units including the Robert Wood Johnson Medical School and UMDNJ School of Public Health, along with the University’s School of Nursing, Ernest Mario School of Pharmacy, and the Institute for Health, Health Care Policy and Aging Research.

designated by the National Cancer Institute, will also join the University. Greg Trevor, a University spokesman, said the institute will become part of a larger body, while maintaining its autonomy within the system. “I think it will help academically,” said Tony Calcado, vice president for facilities and capital planning at the University. “It makes a stronger university. I think it creates more opportunity for students in New Jersey. It has a lot of upsides for both institutions.” Calcado is not alone in his feeling, as Gov. Chris Christie also said this integration can benefit the University. “Rutgers was already an outstanding institution,” Christie said this past summer after signing the integration bill at the Rutgers Student Center on the College Avenue campus. “Now, it’s going to be a powerhouse.”

U. to tackle transportation on campus with bike lanes BY MATTHEW BOYER CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Plans to acquire bike and bus lanes are in the works to address the issues regarding the University’s transpor tation system. Jack Molenaar, director of the University’s Department of Transportation, said his department is concerned about transportation around New Brunswick at the School of Environmental and Biological Sciences Governing Council on Monday night at the Cook Campus Center. Molenaar said a public transit project like implementing bus lanes to help alleviate rush hour traffic involves working with several organizations in a process that can take anywhere from 20 to 30 years. He said he cannot do anything about bus lanes until New Jersey Transit, the city of New Brunswick and the state of New Jersey provide him with bus lanes that can get students to and from Cook/Douglass campuses more easily. “Until that time there is only so much I can do,” he said. An alternative and more feasible solution in the short-term is to have designated bike lanes on campus within the next two to three years, Molenaar said. “That is the fast way to get to and from any campus at Rutgers,” he said. He said the bike lanes would run from Douglass campus to the

College Avenue campus along Neilson Street. Molenaar said the University has more control in building bike lanes than it does in getting funding for constructing bus lanes. The city of New Brunswick will create bike lanes on campus, which Molenaar said should start appearing in the next year. Bike lanes will not only help the environment, but allow the University to spend less money on buses, he said. “It will cause less pollution, and overall Rutgers will be a safer place,” he said. “My goal is by the time I’m done at Rutgers, that everyone that comes here will go, ‘well of course you bike at Rutgers.’” Molenaar said he envisions a system at the University that accommodates bike riding, which can be achieved through more bike racks, lockers and shops that can make this form of transportation easier for the student body. He also addressed student concerns of getting to classes late because of bus delays. Molenaar said more buses were added to Livingston campus like the LX, B and REXL because there are more students to accommodate this year because of the Livingston Apartments. “Livingston campus has been a challenge in the last couple of years because of the constr uction. We still have roads that are not complete, we

still have parking lots that are still under constr uction,” he said. “Hopefully all the constr uction over there will be done by spring.” Molenaar said many students were also upset with the transportation system because of delays in the bus schedule at the beginning of the semester, especially for those traveling between the College Avenue campus and Cook/Douglass campuses. He said the first week in September in New Brunswick has bad traffic because of the influx of new University students and the startup of the school year. “We had very consistent trips until it got around 3:30 p.m. and then the trips were much longer. And then around 7 p.m. or so it goes back to being consistent again,” Molenaar said. He also addressed the concerns students have about crowding at bus stops like the College Hall on Douglass campus. The department is aware of the issue, he said, but it is a matter of having the resources to construct a new bus stop, a project that costs about $300,000, he said. “With the College Hall bus stop, there is a historical issue with the lawn, we couldn’t really go out into the street, in theory we should go into the lawn a little bit, but it would be a sensitive issue to do.” At the moment, he said the department is working on

NELSON MORALES, SENIOR STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER re-designing bus stops on the College Avenue campus and Livingston campus. Peter Canavan, SEBS Governing Council president, said he is excited to see the department work to accommodate student transportation and ensure safety. “It is crazy that Rutgers can’t just make a cross walk — we have to go through all the bureaucracy first,” said Canavan, a School of

Environmental and Biological Sciences junior. Raichelle Arthur, a Class of 2015 representative on the council, said after hearing Molenaar speak about the transportation system she has a new perspective on the issues. “We point that finger to just one person, but it is not just them,” said Arthur, a School of Environmental and Biological Sciences sophomore.

It was nice to learn how Mayor Minkoff has gotten to the place he is today.”

INTEGRATION Calcado’s team will focus on real estate, code enforcement CONTINUED FROM FRONT Though integration is definitely worth the effort, it is not an easy task, Calcado said. Getting two different institutions to function as one unit requires some serious effort, which is why a team was specifically assembled to help facilitate the process. “We’re looking at the two universities to figure out how to best deliver all of these services over time,” said Calcado, who heads the Facilities and Administration Functional Team. “We tr y to understand. We look at the policies, we look at the procedures and we look at how things are actually being done.” The team aims to integrate operations with a focus on real estate, public safety and code enforcement. This will include adjusting access control system and signage, Calcado said. “From the physical infrastructure to land use to facilities services agreements, the Facilities and Administration Team will have to work hard to ensure that good solutions are implemented,” said David Schulz, interim vice president for Administration at UMDNJ, in a statement. “Team members embrace the challenge.” Though the team will cover a lot of ground, it is just one of 12 teams working on integrating various aspects of both universities in time for the deadline, Calcado said. “This is a true formula,” Calcado said. “All the teams are necessary because what you’re trying to accomplish through the merger is the strongest possible institution you can come out with. We’re combining our efforts here. You need to break this down into manageable pieces.” A bigger school means more spending — and with the current economy, it might be difficult to develop the institution much further. The Building Our Future Bond Act, which would provide institutions of higher education in New Jersey with $750 million for construction, might just make things a little easier. The University stands to see $300 million as it is a major research university, according to the UMDNJ website. Whether or not this act gets passed is ultimately up to voters. A statewide coalition called Building Our Future has been working to raise awareness and encourage students to let their voices be heard on the Election Day ballot. Modernizing higher education’s infrastructure will ultimately help the United States compete with countries like India, China and Japan, according to the UMDNJ website. While implementing the integration could cause programs and curricula to change over time, Trevor, senior director of University Media Relations, said current students should not be concerned. Faculty, class size, physical location and facilities should stay the same for now, he said. “We expect that current and future students will be unaffected as a result of the integration of these two universities,” Trevor said.

FILM Constantini prefers working on his personal projects CONTINUED FROM FRONT The film features Brazilian artist Bel Borba’s artwork superimposed over scenes and images recorded around New York City. It borrows from “Bel Borba Aquí,” Costantini and co-director Burt Sun’s feature-length documentary of which Borba is the subject, and shares the theme of the artist transforming his surroundings, Costantini said. Costantini first worked with longtime friend Sun to spotlight Borba, a popular artist in the local scene in Brazil, in a feature documentary. After “Bel Borba Aquí” caught the eye of the Sherry Dobbin, the Times Square Alliance’s Public Art director, at the Crossing the Line Film Festival, she invited Costantini and Sun to create a shorter film to screen in Times Square. Dobbin, whose department within the nonprofit Times Square Alliance is meant to foster an edgy, cultural environment in Times Square, said the task of making this first film was a challenge of sorts. “For a lot of people, it can be overwhelming to work with all those screens,” Dobbin said. “I find him [Costantini] a really wonderful collaborative artist.” The filmmakers could not at first decide which artist to showcase in the documentary that became “Bel Borba Aquí,” Costantini said. Sun met Borba when he moved to Brazil, and unknowingly stumbled upon their film’s subject. “Bel is one of the most beloved figures in the city [Salvador]. People call his name wherever [he goes],” Sun said. “It’s very contagious, the way he deals with art.” Costantini flew down to Brazil to meet Borba, and soon after, they began the film’s three-year shoot. The film followed Borba and the manner in which he would transform landscapes with his large-scale outdoor art, Costantini said. Though an impressive achievement, this was certainly

not Costantini’s first job. He has been a freelance photographer and filmmaker since graduating from the University. Some of his clients include the American Repertory Theater, Boston Early Music Festival and L’Oreal. Costantini said he has also created short films that document the NGO “Doc to Dock,” which redistributes medical supplies to hospitals in Africa. Costantini now lives between Brooklyn and the Catskills in New York, but he grew up in Marlboro, N.J. While in high school, the alumnus realized he wanted to pursue an art career and degree. During his time studying visual arts at the Mason Gross School of the Arts, he said he grew a lot as an artist and independent thinker. “Although, the school was really supportive ... they didn’t tell you how to do something,” Costantini said. Some of his favorite productions came about soon after graduation, when he worked in a group that made films purely for its members’ own enjoyment — films that are nonsensical and comedic. Costantini said he truly savors artistic freedom, but also appreciates the challenge that comes with more commercial work. “The less decisions you have to make, the more creative you are forced to be,” he said. A prevalent theme the filmmaker conveys through his works is mood in a physical form, which he said involves translating feelings into something visual, he said. Dobbin said she hopes there will be more original works like “Universal Pulse” in Times Square. Costantini never imagined he would have such an opportunity to publicly display his work, not even a few years ago. But he said creating the film became a natural progression. “If you follow your passion … you’ll be able to produce things that people will respond to,” Costantini said.

A screen shot from Andre Constantini’s “Universal Pulse” shows an anthropomorphic entrance to a subway car, which his friend, filmmaker Burt Sun helped animate.

Qatari emir makes first visit to Gaza Strip in five years THE ASSOCIATED PRESS GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip — The emir of Qatar yesterday became the first head of state to visit the Gaza Strip since Hamas militants seized the territory five years ago, showering almost half a billion dollars and unprecedented political recognition on the Islamic militant group. The landmark visit highlighted the tumultuous changes that have swept the region during the Arab Spring events over the past two years, pushing once-shunned Islamic movements to the forefront of Mideast politics. Qatar, an oilrich Gulf state, has encouraged these changes by backing efforts for the ouster of secular regimes. The emir, who has long sought a role in Palestinian politics, appeared to be seizing an opportunity created by Hamas’ break in recent months with its ally Syria. In return for yesterday’s stamp of recognition, the emir may use his leverage to lure Hamas hardliners in Gaza away from their longtime patron Iran, the regional rival of Qatar and other Sunni Muslim-led states. The arrival of Sheik Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani gave Hamas its biggest diplomatic victory yet since violently taking control of Gaza in June 2007 from forces loyal to Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas. Repeated attempts to reconcile, including a Qatari-brokered deal early this year, have failed. Abbas now governs in the West Bank.

The emir received a hero’s welcome as he crossed through Gaza’s southern border with Egypt. An honor guard greeted him, white and maroon Qatari flags flapped in the streets and a song called “Thank you, Qatar” played on the radio and on TV. Thousands of cheering and waving Palestinians lined the main road to Gaza City to greet the emir, who rolled down the window of his armored car to shake hands with dozens of people. Women on balconies threw flowers and rice on his convoy. In a speech at Gaza’s Islamic University, a Hamas stronghold, the emir called on the Palestinians to heal their bitter rift, saying a unified front is the only way to achieve statehood. “Why are you staying divided? There are no peace negotiations (between Palestinian factions), and there is no clear strategy of resistance and liberation. Why shouldn’t brothers sit together and reconcile?” he said. Despite the conciliatory language, the emir’s visit may have the opposite effect. Hamas hardliners in Gaza have resisted reconciliation, in part because they are reluctant to give up the mini-state they have created. Though it is shunned internationally, Hamas now runs governmental ministries, armed security forces and border crossings. The emir’s visit is likely to solidify Hamas’ control and boost its confrontational approach toward Israel.

The emir of Qatar, Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa al-Thani, greets locals as he arrives for a cornerstone-laying ceremony of a Qatari-funded rehabilitation center yesterday in Gaza City, Gaza. The emir of Qatar was the first head of state to visit the Palestinian territory since the Islamist militant Hamas seized control there in 2007. GETTY IMAGES “Gaza is not alone, and Palestine occupies the hearts of Arabs,” Hamas’ prime minister, Ismail Haniyeh, jubilantly declared. “Your visit today officially announces the break of the economic blockade and political blockade imposed on the Gaza Strip by the forces of injustice.” Officials in the West Bank made clear their displeasure with the way the visit was handled. Abbas, who seeks a negotiated peace deal with

Israel, has seen his popularity plunge because of a four-year standstill in peace efforts and a financial crisis that has left him unable to pay the salaries of tens of thousands of civil servants. “If this is a one-time visit, we can tolerate it. But we are concerned that others will come and that will reinforce the split,” said Yasser Abed Rabbo, an adviser to Abbas. “No one should deal with Gaza as a separate entity from the

Palestinian territories and from the Palestinian Authority.” Israel also denounced the Qatari leader’s visit. Foreign Ministry spokesman Yigal Palmor accused the emir of favoring Hamas in the internal Palestinian conflict. “This is more than strange, especially since Hamas is internationally recognized as a terror group,” he said. “By hugging Hamas publicly, the emir of Qatar has thrown peace under the bus.”

t the polls on Nov. 6, New Jersey voters will be given the chance to vote on two important public questions. The first, labeled “Public Question 1,” concerns the issuance of state bonds to fund capital investment projects in higher education throughout the state. The Building Our Future Bond Act has been widely talked about and has received significant amount of support in recent weeks. The second question, however, has been given significantly less attention, partly because of the gravity of the first. If approved, “Public Question 2,” other wise known as the New Jersey Judicial Salar y and Benefits amendment, would amend the state’s constitution to mandate that N.J. judges and justices contribute more of their yearly salaries to fund judicial pensions and health care in the state. The move would subject judicial salaries to the same treatment, which all public employees in New Jersey currently face. We see little reason why justices and judges shouldn’t be held to the same standards as other state employees — given the fact the N.J. judges and justices are, after all, state employees themselves. A justice’s position as an impartial upholder of the law should not exempt them from making the same sacrifices other public employees are forced to make during difficult times. The measure comes on the heels of a 2011 Supreme Court ruling, which declared that pension

and benefit reforms at the time were unconstitutional because they amounted to “diminutions of salar y” for state justices and judges. Judicial compensation is currently protected from legislative action by New Jersey’s constitution. In effect, however, state justices and judges stand among the only employees in the state today who have not been forced to sacrifice portions of their salar y to make up for deficits in New Jersey’s ailing pension and benefits program. Among those who have been forced to contribute are police officers and teachers — state employees who arguably have a lot less to give. This fact is emphasized when one considers that, on average, judges collect three times as much in retirement benefits compared to other state employees. We also see no issue with such a mandate obstructing the “integrity” of N.J. cour ts, as some opponents of the measure, including the New Jersey State Bar Association, have argued. If judges truly are as upstanding and reasonable as they would have us assume, they should have little problem understanding that this is a matter of equal treatment, and not an attack on their salaries in par ticular. Mandating that justices and judges contribute to pension and benefit funds may be an unfortunate compromise, but it is undoubtedly a necessar y one. At a time when government accountability, transparency and equality are held in the highest regard, no one should be given special treatment.

Confessions of a college gym rat COMMENTARY SIOBHAN MAZZONI

unning on the treadmill for 30 minutes a day is not going to help you lose weight. There. I just gave you The Secret. This commentary is in response to the latest “Weighing In” column, titled “Combating weight gain, college-style.” The author sharing her weight loss/gain experience with the student body is very inspiring. It’s a very brave thing to do, especially for women. Our culture pressures girls to uphold a certain ideal appearance and often condemns them if they do not. I personally have never had a weight problem before, but I have felt insecure about my body for not resembling Megan Fox or Jessica Alba. I’m sure many people out there can concur. But back to the treadmill. I haven’t used a treadmill for a workout in a year now, but I think after 45 minutes to an hour on it I would burn 300 calories. And that’s it. That’s all I would burn out of the 1,400 to 1,600 calories that I consumed that day. You know what you could do with those 30 minutes that would make your journey to health and fitness 10 times better? Lifting weights and bodyweight workouts both increase muscular strength and

eliminate fat. Including cardio in your routine is beneficial, but that alone will not build muscle. I’m not an exercise science major, but I have done research and want to help the column’s author and others in their weight loss journey. I want to help you learn how to strength train. “But, Siobhan,” you say, “I don’t know how to workout and there are so many big dudes in the College Avenue Gym, and they’re hogging all the equipment, and I don’t want to look like She-Hulk.” I didn’t know how to workout until my sophomore year of college. I decided that since the treadmill and cardio on its own clearly weren’t working, I needed to reach outside of my comfort zone. With the help of Rutgers Recreation, I got a personal trainer and learned all that I needed to in six months. For those who cannot afford a trainer, there are plenty of videos online that show you step by step how to do a particular lift and use proper technique. I personally recommend exrx.net since it simply writes out each step and shows a .gif file of a person doing it instead of having to watch one- to two-minute videos. OK, you have the knowledge you need to do a decent workout and are ready to go to the gym. Those guys you see huffing and puffing? Half of them are doing it wrong. Many guys will try to use weight that they cannot handle and do half-assed reps. The other half, who

probably are not wearing jeans or their hats, are eye candy for you to enjoy. Either way, they don’t matter. The mindset you should have first and foremost is that you are working out and getting healthy for Y-O-U. The guys don’t matter, the girls don’t matter, only you. Finally, the myth that you will become disgustingly muscular if you use weights is simply false. You would have to be on a strict diet, drink a lot of protein shakes, and take steroids. The best part about lifting is that not only will it help you look good, but you’ll feel good too. You will be strong, and you’ll see progress in how much you can handle. As the author said, it takes hard work and discipline in order to achieve your ideal figure. Yet if you’re unhappy with how you look, it is necessary to work outside your comfor t zone. As Elle Woods once said, “Exercise gives you endorphins. Endorphins make you happy. Happy people just don’t shoot their husbands.” I wish the author and all you ladies (and gentlemen) the best of luck with getting in shape. If you want something, take it. Your body is yours and you should be proud of it. Siobhan Mazzoni is a School of Arts and Sciences junior majoring in journalism and media studies with a minor in Itailan.

Final debate misses key points STATE OF THE UNION MATT KUCHTYAK

he third and final presidential debate between President Barack Obama and former Mass. Gov. Mitt Romney took place Monday night and pitted the two candidates against each other to discuss major issues in foreign policy. Well, that’s mostly what happened. The two candidates began by talking about foreign policy but seemed to find their way back to speaking about the domestic economy, the issue most prevalent in the voters’ minds during the 2012 election. Although they tried to tie their concerns over the rising national debt to national security and stress the primacy of a strong domestic economy as requisite for a strong international presence, both Obama and Romney, and even moderator Bob Schieffer, seemed more than willing to let the debate wander into other non-foreign policy issues. Perhaps the debate’s lack of firm structure contributed to the conspicuous absence of two major foreign policy and national security concerns — Europe and climate change. While the two candidates shared relatively similar opinions on Libya, Syria, Pakistan, the dangers of a nuclear Iran, trade with China, U.S. relations with Israel, and the winding down and wrapping up of wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, they seemed equally content to neglect two of the largest issues of concern in the foreign policy arena. The only mention of Europe at all seemed to come when Romney misleadingly warned the American public that the rising national debt has the country rushing toward a situation like the one occurring in Greece. Let’s be honest though — U.S. borrowing costs are still extremely low and countries are more than willing to lend to us. An American version of Greece will not manifest itself in the foreseeable future.

But the situation in Greece and other debt-ridden European nations, such as Portugal, Ireland, Italy and Spain, does present a ver y real geopolitical strategic challenge. Recent anti-austerity protests in Greece are merely the most recent example of the political dangers that have resulted from the debt crisis across the eurozone, the monetary union of seventeen European Union member states whose official currency is the euro. Indeed, the fiscal trouble associated with the debt crisis has seriously threatened the grand European experiment of greater economic and political integration that has accelerated since the formation of the European Union. With the obvious impacts of European affairs on the global political economy, it seems strange that Obama and Romney would neglect the entire continent in a debate supposedly about foreign policy.

“The threats to national and international security from climate change are very real.” The candidates’ zealous desire to talk about the economy and foreign affairs in the Middle East and Far East, while justified, also claimed the debate life of the issue of climate change. For the first time since 1988, when NASA’s James Hansen famously testified in Congress about its dangers, climate change was ignored in the presidential debate cycle. Not only was the national security of threat of climate change ignored in Monday’s final debate, it was ignored in all three presidential sparring bouts. This neglect for such an important issue in 2012 is especially disturbing given the recent advancements in climate science. In the 1988 vice presidential debate between Lloyd Bentsen and eventual Vice President Dan Quayle, both

candidates responded affirmatively for the need to reduce fossil fuel burning, extend research into alternative energies, and curb the negative impacts of the greenhouse effect. Nearly a quarter-century later, climate scientists have improved their understanding of anthropogenic (i.e. humaninduced) climate change and have increasingly urged immediate action to sharply reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Despite this improved research and knowledge of the dangerous potential impacts, presidential candidates seem complacent to neglect the issue of climate change over roughly 270 total minutes of debating. According to a 2009 New York Times article, military and intelligence analysts have noted that the dangers of climate change do not merely include a more uncomfortable and warmer planet. Rather, the increased probability of violent storms, flooding, droughts, disease, mass migration, and other negative effects will necessitate increased military intervention to quell the resulting conflicts. As the article indicates, a potentially destructive flood in Bangladesh could send extremely large numbers of people into neighboring India, spurring religious conflict, damage to infrastructure and contagious diseases. The threats to national and international security from climate change are very real and merited at least a few minutes of discussion from Obama and Romney. As this is my final column before the presidential election on Nov. 6, I would like to put aside my frustration with the lack of important issues in the final presidential debate to follow in the footsteps of Schieffer, urging everyone to fulfill their civic duty and vote for the candidate they see best fit to lead the country through these next four years.

Females are not targets FOURTH WAVE DANNIELLE ROMOLEROUX

emember last week’s presidential debate? I know it seems like ages ago, but I thought it was necessary to write about Katherine Fenton. Fenton asked President Barack Obama, “In what new ways do you intend to rectify inequalities in the workplace? Specifically regarding females making only 72 percent of what their male counterparts earn,” at Hofstra University last Tuesday. Now why is this significant? Personally, I don’t think it is. I found the question to be fair game, considering that the 2010 Census found, “the median earnings for men was $47,715 and for women $36,931. In 2010, the female-to-male earnings ratio of full-time, year-round workers was 0.77, not statistically different from the 2009 ratio.” Clearly this question is relevant to November’s presidential election. So tell me why conservatives felt the need to attack her? It really did not need to become anything other than a simple question that was answered during the debate. Before I continue I should probably explain what it is that has caused me to write today’s column on Fenton. The Washington Free Beacon, an online conservative newspaper, decided to run an article on Fenton. The title of this article is — wait for it — “Party Girl Debate Questioner Loves Joose, Hates Cops and Women Who Watch Sports.” Why? I asked myself, of all the things they could write about from the debate they chose to write about Fenton and her party girl ways? After stalking her Twitter, The Washington Free Beacon staff selected their favorite tweets and created an article. Some of the tweets selected included sexual language. For example Fenton wrote, “Did someone say happy hour? I promise I won’t get wet this time.” First of all, everyone knows you can’t take tweets such as those seriously on a site like Twitter. Secondly, who care if Fenton gets wet during happy hour? What she wishes to tweet about has nothing to do with her ability to ask a serious question that affects women in our country. But conservatives seemed to love picking on females. Greg Gutfeld, host of Red Eye with Greg Gutfeld on Fox had no problem tweeting, “This is what’s called the ‘Sandra Fluke’ intermission,” immediately after Fenton asked Obama her question. It’s obvious that Gutfeld did not think the question was worth answering, and in turn decided to involve Fluke into this discussion that is completely irrelevant to her. Fluke was a victim of conservative attacks after she testified before Congress on contraception and health care issues. My problem with this article is the fact that they specifically singled Fenton out for her question. They also used tweets taken out of context to make her look inadequate to the public. If the problem was really based on the question she asked, why couldn’t they write an article about the question, not the questioner? I really don’t want to think it has anything to do with her concerns with gender equality, but what else could their reasoning be? The constant picking on females from the conservative side is really starting to agitate me. I feel like we cannot say or do anything without having negative attention instantly drawn on us. At this point, I’m convinced if a women sneezes conservatives would instantly find something to criticize about, and they say there is no war on women? Yeah, right.

Waters leads Big East defensive backs with two sacks this season

Logan Ryan, is a junior. The fourth, safety Lorenzo Waters, is a sophomore. The second string boasts as much experience. Jones and safeties Wayne Warren and Mason Robinson are all seniors. The experience manifests itself several times during a game, one of which is defending passes. Facing a pass, a defensive back has options in how to cover it, and Harmon said there is one way to learn how to choose. “You have to test your limits in practice,” he said. “We do a lot of dif ferent types of ball drills that put you in different types of situations. You have to go up against receivers and know when to go up for the [interception], when to go for the knock down, when to go to solidify the tackle.” Judging by the numbers, the drills have paid off. The Knights lead the Big East with 13 interceptions — six more than Cincinnati, which sits in second in the category. Rutgers also has three defensive backs in the conference’s top five in passes defended. Ryan leads with an average of 1.71 per game, Jones sits in second with 1.14 per game and Harmon is tied for fifth with 0.86 per game. “We just have a high emphasis on the ball,” Jones said. “As defensive backs, we pride ourselves on getting to the ball. If we’re in a position to make a play, we pride ourselves on making it.” Waters is also making strides in statistics. Waters leads all Big East defensive backs with two sacks in only his first year as a starting safety. “He was getting a lot of game experience in the first couple of games, so he made some minor mistakes, but these past couple weeks I’ve been very impressed in his preparation, his work ethic on the field,” Harmon said. “In games, he’s been putting together a lot of solid games. The sky is the limit for him.” But the season has not been an entirely smooth road for the defensive backfield. It allows 231.3 yards per game, placing it ahead of only Temple in the Big East. Arkansas quarterback Tyler Wilson, who threw for more than 400 yards, and Syracuse quarterback Ryan Nassib, who cracked 350 yards passing, have not helped those numbers. Much of that also has to do with the Knights’ run defense, which ranks third nationally with 69.14 rushing yards allowed per game. Harmon believes the next step the unit has to take is to improve its focus. “We have times where we’re locked in 90 to 85 percent of the game,” he said. “We still have 10 percent where we make a couple mental errors. Once we lock in for the whole game, it’s going to be a great sight for us.” For updates on the Rutgers football team, follow Joey Gregory on Twitter @JGregoryTargum.

RU defender returns from suspension for regular season finale

Rutgers does not even have to care about the result if it does not beat the Wildcats tonight at Yurcak Field in the Knights’ regular season finale. Instead, Rutgers (6-7-1, 2-4-1) is feeling a myriad of emotions on the other side of the spectrum from the 2011 selection show. Freshman defender Mitchell Taintor enters the game with the stress of sitting on the sidelines during a suspension Saturday at Cincinnati, which led to a Bearcats game-winning goal in the 88th minute that Taintor could have defended. “My heart sank,” Taintor said. “It was awful. It was the last three minutes. I felt like we were playing decently well up until that point, and then when that happened I was just crushed. I was like, ‘ugh.’ It was awful.” Taintor missed Rutgers’ second-to-last chance to extend its

season because he received his fifth yellow card. That came at the end of the first half last Wednesday against St. John’s, when the Johnnies entered halftime with a 2-0 lead and the Knights with a consensus that it was one of their flattest halves of the season. Rutgers did not play like it was fighting to extend its season in the first half against St. John’s. Now the Knights have no choice. Seniors Kevin McMullen, Dragan Naumoski and Robin Brown have extra incentive: fighting to extend their careers. “They’ve been a big part of the success, too, because Dragan’s a solid right back, and Kevin’s kept us in many games,” Taintor said. “I feel like we all want to win to keep the season going.” McMullen will contribute an added intensity against Villanova (10-4-2, 2-2-2) after losing by one goal in three of the past four games. The Washington Township (N.J.) High School product wants to prolong the inevitable finish to his college career. “It’s everything to me. It’s like my whole life revolves around

Senior defender Dragan Naumoski is one of three seniors who plays his final home game tonight at Yurcak Field. MARIELLE SUMERGIDO, STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER

soccer,” McMullen said. “I can’t stress how important it is. My life isn’t complete without soccer, so without soccer, I honestly don’t know what I’m going to do with my free time.” The Knights look forward to Senior Day, but their apprehension and intensity might cloud it. But like selection day, the emotions Rutgers fights could experience an adrenaline unlike anything it felt this season.

“This next game, I’m going to definitely leave everything I have out there on the field,” McMullen said. “Hopefully all the other young guys will fight for me and fight for the other seniors and know how important this game is to me, Robin and Dragan.” For updates on the Rutgers men’s soccer team, follow Josh Bakan on Twitter @JBakanTargum.

It feels good.” She believes it was no coincidence she was successful in the same tournament two years in a row. “I guess there’s something about being in the field of a big tournament and trying to be the best in the region that really just brings out the best in my game,” Petrini said.

and said the ITA Regional Championships is one of the toughest tournaments the Knights will ever play in. “Vanessa played fantastic tennis throughout the entire weekend,” he said. “It’s a grueling tournament. It places a lot of physical commands as well as tremendous emotional and mental stressors on the players. Vanessa handled it well and rose to the occasion and played her best tennis of the fall.” Freshmen Gina Li and Mariam Zein, who also won matches for the Knights during the weekend, each advanced to the Round of 32 in the main singles draw. The doubles team of Petrini and classmate Stefania Balasa also advanced to the Round of 32. Rutgers sent seven players to the ITA Regional Championships this year, the most ever under Bucca. “This is a really tough competition,” Bucca said. “For the most part, everyone played well and with a lot of fighting spirit. It was a good weekend for us.” For updates on the Rutgers tennis team, follow Mike Morton on Twitter @MortonTargum.

Struggling Knights enter home stretch BY AARON FARRAR CORRESPONDENT

At this point in the season, the number six holds a great deal of meaning for the Rutgers volleyball team. It has six contests remaining in the regular season, and a lot is on the line, no matter the results. Since there are six matches to go, that means the Scarlet Knights (16-8, 2-7) have at least six more opportunities to either add to a strong push toward a Big East Tournament bid that will extend their season, or six games that can result in them ending their season after Nov. 11. Head coach CJ Werneke is not backing away from the weight of the final stretch of the season. If the Knights hope to play in the postseason, wins in the next several contests are crucial. “The most important part of the season is these last three weeks,” he said. “Three weeks from now we’re going to be done with our season or looking to continue to play in the Big East Tournament. Three Mondays from now, we’re going to sit down and say as a team, ‘Wow, what a year,’ or asking what could have been.” The Knights come off a loss at Seton Hall last Friday after taking the Pirates to five games. It was the third time this season Rutgers came up empty-handed after forcing five games against opponents — all in the Big East. “Those are some of the hardest losses for me personally,” said freshman outside hitter Megan Stephenson. “Getting swept is a difficult loss to take. But when you fight really hard, coming back after being down and forcing a fifth game, then losing is really frustrating.” Playing for the Big East title would be a first for the 20 Knights and Werneke. The opportunity to play for conference bragging

rights has been on the team’s wish list for a long time now, and it hopes this is its year. “This stretch is extremely impor tant,” Stephenson said. “Our coaches talked to us this week about how these next six games are enough to star t picking it back up playing again and turning this season around. We still have high hopes of making it into the Big East Tournament and finish positively.” The Knights continue their quest for a Big East berth this weekend with matchups against Connecticut and St. John’s — both teams Rutgers trails in the standings — on the road. Werneke pushes the team and encourages it not to back down from any opponent. He has witnessed the Knights play hard throughout the year and insists it is not time to stop now. “There’s no one on our schedule that I’m afraid of,” Werneke said. “There’s no one on our schedule that I didn’t think we couldn’t compete with and beat, and I still feel the same way. We have six matches left. We have the ability physically to win all of those matches.” No matter the outcome of the season, the fifth-year head coach will have his first winning season with the Knights and his fourth consecutive year of double-digit wins. The race is wide open for the Knights, but having matches accumulate in the winning column would not hurt. “It’s been a grind,” Werneke said of his tenure. “It hasn’t been easy. But each step along the way, we’ve gotten a little better foundation and we’ve been building off that foundation. I don’t know if it’s going to be this year that we make the Big East Tournament … but when we get there, we’re going to stay there for a while because we’re doing it the right way.”

MEN’S CROSS COUNTRY

KNIGHT NOTEBOOK HARRISON RECEIVES ADVICE FROM NFL WIDEOUT

Knights pinpoint areas to improve BY ERIC DIMETROSKY CONTRIBUTING WRITER

The Rutgers men’s cross country team was a huge question mark entering the season as one of the youngest teams in the Big East. The Scarlet Knights have only one senior and receive their cues from young runners who learn as they compete. Head coach Mike Mulqueen is happy with how the team improved throughout the season. “It’s important to get experience for our young runners,” Mulqueen said. “The freshmen and sophomores are still getting used to college running and the longer races.” The most important goal for each runner is improving on personal times. Sophomore Chris DeFabio has been one of the team leaders, finishing toward the top in all of the races. “We knew this would be a building year,” DeFabio said. “We had good freshmen come in to help the team out, and we’ve all been working together.” The team has been a work in progress but has significantly improved in recent races. Many of its r unners posted career-best times in its last meet at Princeton. “In our last race, we performed very well and closed the gap from our top runners to the bottom,” Mulqueen said. “The first two races didn’t go as well as we were hoping, but we’ve gotten better.” The results came after a tough race in the Metropolitan Championships, where the team was disappointed in how it ran. The Knights rebounded in Princeton with a solid race against a difficult field. “The last race in Princeton was a good one for us,” DeFabio said. “We’ve gotten better as the year’s gone on and have come together as a group.” While the Knights have performed well lately, they know they can continue to improve. Success in practice has not always translated to races for the young team. “There’s been too much of a split during races,” DeFabio said. “The runners at the top haven’t been close enough to the rest of the team in the races.” Staying together as a group during races is something that has been stressed throughout the year, and it is the key to success for the young Knights. Mulqueen has focused on staying together as the most impor tant factor to the Knights’ success. “Ever yone obviously wants to do well,” DeFabio said. “You try to improve every year, and this year we’ve been better than last year.”

Score puts Harrison in elite company BY TYLER BARTO SPORTS EDITOR

Mark Harrison’s touchdown Saturday at Temple was so inconspicuous, not even Harrison knew its importance. But after a sliding five-yard grab, Harrison quietly moved into a four-way tie for fourth place on the Rutgers football team’s career touchdown receptions list. He joined Tiquan Underwood, eighth all-time in receiving yards; Marco Battaglia, arguably the best tight end in Scarlet Knights history; and Tres Moses, Nos. 2 and 3 in yards and receptions, respectively. “It means a lot,” Harrison said yesterday. “It shows what you put into it is what you’ll get out of it. Those are great guys.” Harrison talks to Underwood, now with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, regularly, he said. “He’s always telling me things I need to learn and things I need to get better at,” Harrison said. “I look up to a guy like that, and to know I’m at that same caliber as him, it definitely means a lot. It’s something I take a lot of pride in.”

Harrison’s 16 career touchdowns are four more than Mohamed Sanu’s total, which occurred during a three-year period and an injury-plagued 2010 season. Harrison averages only 9.9 yards per catch, but he has emerged as arguably the Knights’ best red-zone weapon. Three of Harrison’s four scores this season came inside an opponent’s 20-yard line. “He’s been able to box people out, use his body as shield and put himself between the ball and the defender,” said sophomore wideout Brandon Coleman. “That’s a testament to what he’s been doing all offseason.” Coleman could be in line to surpass Harrison’s touchdown total in due time. He has 11 career scores in 16 games and is on pace to add at least three more during the regular season. Harrison sees it as a natural evolution at the position. “There’s always a newcomer that has a chance if he’s a highlevel player like [Coleman] is,” he said. “He definitely has a chance. I feel like he’s going to be up there in that same category. He has the potential to be high.”

Harrison flashed the same potential as a freshman before it materialized with a nine-touchdown sophomore season in which he became a feature receiver. He has hauled in six since after a selfdescribed renewed offseason approach entering this season. “It’s not surprising to me,” said head coach Kyle Flood. “I remember Mark Harrison catching a big touchdown his freshman year up at UConn. A post over the top — I can remember it like it was yesterday. … It doesn’t surprise me that he’s been that this year, and that his career numbers are what they are.”

FRESHMAN

KICKER

KYLE

Federico practiced yesterday, the earliest he has done so since suffering a hip injury Oct. 6 against Connecticut, Flood said. Despite waiting until Thursday or Friday to make a decision on Federico’s status, Flood viewed Federico’s appearance as an improvement. Federico went 6-for-11 on field goals with a long of 52 yards before the injury. “He made some kicks, and maybe there were a couple he didn’t make that he’d like to have back

and he didn’t quite hit them right,” Flood said. “I never felt mentally or emotionally that he wavered. That’s one of Kyle’s strengths.” Redshirt freshman Nick Borgese has handled extra-point and field goal duties in Federico’s absence, converting his only field goal attempt and seven of eight PATs. The Knights opted to go for a fourth-and-1 against Temple from its 18-yard line — which they did not convert — rather than attempt a field goal.

DOES NOT PLAY

another Big East game until Nov. 17 at Cincinnati. The Knights host Army on Nov. 10 after playing it on Nov. 12 last year, but they did not contend with another nonconference game late in the schedule — like they do Saturday with Kent State. “It’s a little different,” Flood said. “To have nonconference games and a bye week, it’ll be really three weeks where the conference is playing without us.” For updates on the Rutgers football team, follow Tyler Barto on Twitter @TBartoTargum.

RU fights emotions for deciding game BY JOSH BAKAN ASSOCIATE SPORTS EDITOR

The 2011 Rutgers men’s soccer team let out its excitement when it gathered together and eventually heard its name on the selection show for the NCAA Tournament.

The Scarlet Knights might have another event it cannot control when Villanova faces Pittsburgh on Saturday, which could shift the Big East’s Red Division standings to put Rutgers in the Big East Tournament. But head coach Dan Donigan will not organize a gathering for it, feeling it does not merit such excitement.

“We have to take care of our business first [tonight] and then just kind of keep our fingers crossed that it plays out for us,” Donigan said. “But it’s not a great spot to be in … so I’m not going to bring any more exposure than I need to.” SEE

Facing triple match point and down, 5-1, in the third set of the quar ter finals, Rutgers tennis team junior Vanessa Petrini was all but finished Sunday at the ITA Regional Championships. Then something rare happened, as she battled back from down, 40-0, winning the seventh game of a deciding set to bring the match to 5-2 against fifth-seeded Jessica Wacnik of Boston College. Petrini then rallied to win the next five games, winning the set, 7-5, and advancing to the semifinals of the tournament for the second straight year. “I just never gave up,” she said. “I never thought for one point that I couldn’t win the match, so I just kept fighting and working hard and trying my best on every point and just being mentally tough.” Petrini defeated Wacnik (7-5, 3-6, 7-5) on Sunday in a marathon match that lasted more than three hours. Head coach Ben Bucca believes it takes a special kind of player to achieve a feat like Petrini’s. “There are very few tennis players at any level of the game who have the competitive spirit to accomplish what Vanessa did,” Bucca said. “It really speaks very highly as to her will to win.” Petrini could barely put the events that took place into words. “I wish that more people could have been there to see it, because it was so epic that I can’t even describe it,” she said. Petrini went on to lose in the semifinal round in which the No. 11 seed,

FOOTBALL KNIGHTS LEAD BIG EAST IN INTERCEPTIONS

Experienced defensive backs develop mental edge BY JOEY GREGORY ASSOCIATE SPORTS EDITOR

From the outside, being a defensive back may appear to be all about physical attributes and athleticism. All a spectator sees the defender has to do is run with receivers and cover his area of the field. BY THE NUMBERS Rutgers Athletics announced yesterday tickets for the Rutgers football team’s game against Kent State are sold out. What were attendance numbers for the Knights’ home schedule so far? Sept. 8 vs. Howard — 50,855 Oct. 6 vs. Connecticut — 50,870 Oct. 13 vs. Syracuse — 48,011

But that only tells half the story. “It’s a lot more pre-snap than people might think,” said senior cornerback Brandon Jones of the Rutgers football team. “You have to look at where receivers are lined up and formations and have an awareness of what the play might be. That puts you in a better position when the play happens.

Post-snap is all about your eyes and your feet, being disciplined with your eyes and being close to the receiver.” Jones said that comes from two places. One is in the film room, watching tape with coaches and teammates. The other is in games, facing opposing offenses and receivers.

EXTRA POINT

RASHMI SINGH finished first among the Rutgers women’s cross country team for the first time Oct. 13, when she paced it at the Princeton Invitational with a time of 23:06, good for 73rd.

That comes with experience, something of which the Scarlet Knights secondar y has plenty. Of the four starting defensive backs, two — cornerback Marcus Cooper and safety Duron Harmon — are seniors and one, cornerback SEE
