NJUS plans effort to secure equal tuition rate for all Members work on bill to provide in-state tuition for undocumented students BY DOMENIC RUGGERI STAFF WRITER
Working to represent and educate all of the students in the state, the New Jersey United Students discussed a new initiative Saturday to give in-state tuition to undocumented citizens. The organization, made up of delegates from N.J. colleges and universities, introduced a number of new initiatives including getting support for a bill that would make education more affordable for students living in the state without citizenship, said Spencer Klein, president of NJUS. “We work to bring together student governments and organizations to work to improve student accessibility, security, privacy, funding and quality of life in New Jersey,” said Klein, a School of Arts and Sciences senior. The in-state tuition bill would allow undocumented students in New Jersey to receive in-state tuition charges provided they have completed three years of high school or attained a GED in New Jersey, said Javier Mena, a NJUS member. Mena, a Rowan University senior, said the bill faces shaky opposition from some senators who are wary of the possibility of signing off on a bill similar to one introduced last year, which was tabled.

Grocer offers more options to students BY BRIANNA PROVENZANO STAFF WRITER
For many students who live off campus, finding a grocery store with healthy options within walking distance of their houses is difficult. But newly opened grocery store, The Fresh Grocer, on Kirkpatrick Street in downtown New Brunswick could change that. Store manager Paul Kourtis said the store, which is open 24 hours and seven days a week, focuses on providing customers with fresh and healthy products.
“Our mission is that we’re here to provide healthy foods — fruits, vegetables, we have our prepared foods department, we have a healthy kid’s corner,” he said Friday morning at the store’s grand opening ceremony. “Our main objective is to provide healthy food for the community.” The store, which is about 50,000 square feet in size, is part of Wellness Plaza, a project in development for the New Brunswick Development Corporation. The completed plaza plans include a parking deck and the Robert Wood Johnson Fitness and Wellness Center, scheduled to open in a month. In addition to offering shoppers healthier
food options, the supermarket offers employment opportunities for city residents. “We’re currently employing 315 employees. Seventy percent of those employees live within a mile radius of the store. The other 30 percent are within a 2 to 3 mile radius,” Kourtis said. In his speech at the store’s grand opening, New Brunswick Mayor James Cahill spoke about the role the supermarket will play in developing the community as a whole. “Those of us from New Brunswick know that true revitalization is not about SEE

NJPIRG hosts dodge ball game to raise funds for storm victims BY KARMA ALLEN CONTRIBUTING WRITER
Instead of going out for drinks on Friday night, some students and their friends faced off in a dodge ball game to help raise funds for those affected by Hurricane Sandy. Chris Judge, a Belleville resident, said he signed up to play dogdeball because he understands how people’s lives changed after the storm Friday night in the College Ave Gym. “My aunt lives in Lyndhurst right next to a river. Her house got flooded really bad,” he said. “She got about 12 feet of water in her basement. ... Her carpet and all of her furniture is done. She has to start over.” The game raised more than $2,000 for the American Red Cross, as more than 80 people signed up to play the game and about 20 people came to the watch the event. Each person paid $5 to either play or watch the game, which was coordinated by the University’s chapter of the New Jersey Public Interest Research Group. Julie Kamerman, media coordinator for NJPIRG’s hunger and homelessness campaign, said hosting a dodge ball game was a collective idea. “We thought it would be a good way [for people] to get some frustration out. It’s exciting, it’s something you can play
hard in and something we thought people would show up to watch because it’s entertaining,” said Kamerman, a School of Arts and Sciences first-year student. Kamerman said it was refreshing to see so many people show up to the event. “A lot of people came up and said ‘I’m not athletic and I don’t want to play dodge ball but thank you for what you’re doing,’ and they gave us donations,” she said. The event included a halftime show with a live band and a performance from the Scarlet Knights Cheerleading and Dance Team. Kamerman said the event was not only intended to spread awareness for Hurricane Sandy relief but also bring attention to the issue of hunger and homelessness. “Our goal is to raise over $4,000 in the next few weeks for hurricane relief,” Kamerman said. Kamerman said she became involved with NJPIRG because she wanted to make a difference in society. “The issue of hunger and homelessness is something that’s not really paid attention to,” she said. “A lot of people don’t realize that the majority of the homeless, especially locally, are children. It’s an issue that not only needs help but awareness as well.” Anne Adekoya, event coordinator for the hunger and homelessness campaign, said planning and organizing the event was not easy.
Students line up to play dodgeball Friday night at the College Ave. Gym as a part of a fundraiser to benefit Hurricane Sandy victims. KARMA ALLEN “It takes a lot of hard work and dedication to put an event like this together in such a short amount of time. Most of the success of this event is driven by the passion of wanting to help this cause,” said Adekoya, a School of Arts and Sciences sophomore. She said the most important part was to get the word out so that people would show up. “We did something called ‘dorm storming.’ We went to as
many dormitories as we could and we knocked on all the doors to create visibility and get our message out there,” she said. Crystal Mor, NJPIRG campus community organizer, said the event was a fun way for student to give back to the community. “We wanted people to unite. A lot of people came as single players and were put onto a team. They are meeting new people, stepping out of their comfort
zones and having fun together,” said Mor, a University alumna. The event also served as a way to promote the upcoming Hunger and Homelessness Awareness Week. “It will include canned food drives, direct service volunteering and a faculty benefit dinner where the proceeds will go directly to hurricane relief,” Mor said. Elisa Hoehe, a graduate student in the School of Social Work, played in the game and said it was exciting and intense. “I guess I thought it was going to be just one game, but you’re out there playing for 15 minutes straight. You get to play as many games as you can in 15 minutes,” Hoehe said. Hoehe invited 14 of her friends from Belleville to come out and play. She said it was easy to get them to come because it was for a good cause. “When I first saw someone passing out flyers, I didn’t pay it much attention I just thought ‘Oh, it’s just another college event’ but when I saw the words ‘Sandy’ and ‘dodge ball’ on the flyer, I was immediately interested,” she said. Hoehe said she the experience was worth way more than $5. “On a scale of 1 to 10, I rate my experience tonight as a solid 10. I would have paid up to $20 just to participate,” she said. “It was a great first experience, and I plan to participate in more events on campus.”

SHOW Groups rehearsed up to eight weeks before Friday night’s event CONTINUED FROM FRONT land, even if we weren’t born there.” About 69 percent of India’s population sur vives on less than $2 a day, according to The New York Times. Devansh Pandey, public relations chair for AIR, said the group aims to provide an outlet for Indian-Americans to re-experience their native culture through the yearly show. “When I went home, my culture was ever ywhere,” said Pandey, a School of Arts and Sciences sophomore. “But once you went outside, it’s not the same anymore. What we’re trying to do is give everyone one event that gives them the chance to embrace all their culture.” Beta Chi Theta, a South Asian-interest social fraternity, acted in a self-produced Bollywood skit. Soham Khetani, a fraternity member, said going back to his roots on stage felt meaningful. “There’s not too many of these big shows, and the AIR show is the biggest South Asian performance on campus per year,” said Khetani, a School of Engineering senior. “Being in this definitely makes you see a part of who you are.” But Indian culture is extremely diverse, with 438 spoken languages in the country, according to The Economist. The event served as an opportunity to unite students from many different areas in India, Pandey said.
“I feel it’s good to get everyone together,” Pandey said. “Not everyone knows everyone else’s language and rituals. Everyone does something different, so you can’t say India is one culture.” The University-based Raga and Garba Association, a culturally affiliated dance group, performed a traditional dance from Gujrat, India. The folk-style arrangement involved dancers who used sticks to visually enhance their choreographed movements, said Shivani Patel, co-captain of the team. Raga is the only South Asian dance group in the state, and has been a part of the show since 2002. “AIR gives us stage experience,” Shivani Patel said. “We are very affiliated with AIR, so every time AIR has a show we always look forward to coming.” AIR had been planning since mid-July, with rehearsals running consistently for eight weeks prior to the show, Shivani Patel said. The group hosts events every three to four weeks that provide continued exposure to Indian culture. The AIR show also served as a publicity tool. Beta Chi Theta finally decided to participate after being on campus for two years, Khetani said. “We wanted to show ourselves,” Khetani said. “It was actually a lot of fun. It worked out pretty well, and we’re happy that we got to represent
Students from Delta Phi Omega, a South Asian-interest sorority, perform a dance Friday at the 54th annual Association of Indians at Rutgers show. ALEXA WIBRAMIEC ourselves a little bit more on campus.” Miraj Barodia, junior representative for AIR, said though immigrants experienced a culture shock when they first arrived to America, the eastern world has undergone some changes that are helping to close the cultural gap.
“Now as we’re progressing more, it’s becoming more equal,” Barodia said. “India is becoming more western. They’re adapting their culture from us over here.” AIR plans to coordinate with the Pakistani Student Association next spring in their annual collaborative event, Salaam Namaste, that seeks to ease tensions from the long-
standing rivalry between India and Pakistan, Shivani Patel said. “We want the two organizations to come together to help people understand what happened and overcome the feeling of tension between the two countries,” Shivani Patel said. “That’s why we team up with PSA and have multiple workshops and speakers come in.”

IN BRIEF GROUP DECIDES ON CHECK RECIPIENT The University’s chapter of Students for Justice in Palestine announced last week in a press release that it plans donate $3,050 to the American Near East Refugee Aid, a Washington-based nongovernmental organization. Former student organization BAKA: Students United for Middle Eastern Justice, raised the money two years ago at an event where 250 people donated funds for the U.S. Boat to Gaza, a relief effort to help break the Israeli naval blockade of the Gaza strip through sending supplies. When it came time for the University to send the check out, the University told the group they had to change the donation recipient because the U.S. Boat to Gaza lacked the proper tax-exempt status to qualify as a charity, Hoda Mitwally, a University alumna who served as the public relations officers for BAKA in 2010, told The Associated Press. Though BAKA no longer exists, the issue was managed by the student organization Students for Justice in Palestine, who met
with University officials to come up with an appropriate recipient for the funds. The group reached consensus in August 2012 that ANERA should receive the funds, which were raised in the 20102011 academic year, according to the press release.
STADIUM WINS SAFETY AWARD The University’s Division of Administration and Public Safety presented the NCS4 Facility Achievement Award to the University’s Athletic Department during the first quarter of Saturday’s football game against Army. The award is meant to recognize a facility, in this case the University’s High Point Solutions Stadium, which has performed above expectations in regard to patron safety, said Jason Baum, senior associate athletic director, in a statement. The University credits the diligent efforts of the facility’s management and staff, as well as Public Safety for earning the NCAA award. High Point Solutions Stadium, the second-largest venue in the state, is the second sports facility in New Jersey to receive the award.

DOHA, Qatar — Syrian antigovernment groups struck a deal yesterday under intense international pressure to form a new opposition leadership that will include representatives from the countr y’s disparate factions fighting to topple President Bashar Assad’s regime, activists said. The opposition has been deeply divided for months despite the relentless bloodshed in Syria and repeated calls from their Western and Arab supporters to create a cohesive and representative leadership that could present a single conduit for foreign aid. The agreement, reached yesterday after more than a week of meetings in the Qatari capital of Doha, could boost efforts to secure international support — and potentially weapons — that will be crucial in the war to oust Assad. “We have agreed on the broad platform and all (opposition) parties, without any exception, suppor t this initiative,” said Ali Sadr el-Din Bayanouni, a former Syrian Muslim
Brotherhood leader who took part in the talks. He said the new leadership will be called the Syrian National Coalition for Opposition and Revolutionary Forces. The delegates elected yesterday the Islamic preacher Maath al-Khatib president of the new coalition. Leading opposition figures Riad Seif and Suheir Atassi were elected vice presidents. Mustafa Sabbagh was voted the coalition’s secretary-general. Al-Khatib said opposition fighters are “searching for freedom,” claiming that if any carried out improper acts, it was because of the “regime’s brutality.” He said the Syrian rebels will avoid acts of revenge in the future, noting that many soldiers security officers are “honorable people whom we call them upon to defect from the corrupt regime.” In a bid to be more representative and curb the influence of exiles considered out of touch with events on the ground, the new coalition will include activists from inside Syria as well as rebel commanders.
Deadly blast devastates Indianapolis neighborhood Israel, Gaza militants THE ASSOCIATED PRESS INDIANAPOLIS — A massive explosion sparked a huge fire and killed two people in an Indianapolis neighborhood where about three dozen homes were damaged or destroyed, authorities said yesterday. The powerful nighttime blast shattered windows, crumpled walls and could be felt at least three miles away. Aerial photographs of the once-tidy neighborhood of oneand two-story homes showed at least two had been reduced to blackened pits of debris. Other homes had sections gutted by fire or holes in their roofs or exterior walls. Siding dangled from the outside of other homes, and crumpled garage doors hung from houses nearby. Pieces of wood and other building materials littered the street and surrounding properties. It wasn’t clear what caused the blast Saturday, about 11 p.m. Firefighters responding to a call about a single house fire were surprised by a much bigger blaze. The fire centered on four homes, two that were leveled and two others that only had the frames standing by the time the flames were extinguished, Deputy Chief Kenny Bacon said. The damage extended two blocks in every direction, he said, and fire officials didn’t initially realize the extent of it in the darkness. City and fire officials said yesterday afternoon that about two dozen homes were uninhabitable and would have to be torn down. Several more had severe damage but could be fixed.
Residents described a loud boom that shook their homes, blew out windows and collapsed ceilings. They rushed outside to find a chaotic scene with flames rising against the Indianapolis skyline to the north. Bryan and Trina McClellan were at home with their 23-yearold son, Eric, when the shock wave from the blast a block away shook their home. It knocked out the windows along one side of their house, and their first instinct was to check on their grandchildren, two toddlers who were in

the basement. One held his ears and said, “Loud noise, loud noise.” Eric McClellan said he ran to the scene of the explosion and saw homes flat or nearly so. “Somebody was trapped inside one of the houses, and the firefighters were trying to get to him. I don’t know if he survived,” he said, adding that firefighters ordered him to leave the area. Once the flames were out, firefighters went through the rubble and damaged homes one at a time in case people had been left behind, Fire Lt. Bonnie Hensley said. They used search lights until dawn as they peered into the ruined buildings. Along with the two people killed, seven people were taken to
a hospital with injuries, Bacon said. Everyone else was accounted for, he said. Four of the seven who were injured suffered only minor injuries, fire officials said. They did not provide details on the others or identify those killed. An investigation was under way, said Bacon, who would not rule a gas leak in or out. Dan Considine, a spokesman for Citizens Energy, said people usually smell gas when there is a leak, but the utility had not received any calls from people smelling gas in that area.

And my first thing is, I just, I thought someone was breaking in the house because the alarm was going off. So I just grabbed my gun and started running around the house. “I saw our front door was open and then I saw the glow of the fire and I walked outside and all the houses were on fire,” he said. Dan Able, a 58-year-old state employee who lives across the street from the two homes that exploded, said his first thought was that a plane had hit his house. The blast was “a sound I’ve never heard before, it was so loud,” he said. His windows blew out and a bedroom ceiling collapsed on his wife, Jan. He pulled her out, and they went outside. “Both houses across the street were on fire, basically, just rubble on fire,” he said.

Ensuring municipal question votes count
N
ew Brunswick voters who cast provisional ballots on Election Day will be given the chance to defend their votes tomorrow during a Board of Elections public hearing at 77 Bayard St. The hearing will take place at 5 p.m., and concerns the outcome of a contentious ballot question, labeled the Municipal Question on Tuesday’s ballot. Through the holding of an opening hearing, the city has given voters an important opportunity — and those af fected should make it a point to attend. The Municipal question is a measure that, if approved, would allow New Brunswick residents to elected members to the city’s school board. In a previous editorial, this board opined that the change — which would move the city away from a current Type I district, under which the mayor elects members to the board, to a Type II district — would be a positive step toward reforming education in New Brunswick. While we still stand by that opinion, we would like to stress that, no matter which side of the issue you stand, attending tomor row’s hearing as a provisional voter is wor th considering. This is true in light of two things. First, the issue, particularly this year, is a contentious one. On election night, just 116 votes separated the measure from its passage. Yet, even more spectacularly, after counting 381 absentee ballots Wednesday, that margin came down to just 13 votes. Clearly, the issue is a divisive one, and its outcome could certainly ride on the votes of those
provisional ballots currently uncounted. At the hearing, members of both campaigns will decide which ballots will count, and provisional ballot voters should be there to stand by their votes. Additionally, the divisive nature of this year’s school board question becomes even clearer when one considers the fact that, as of now, the question is the closest it has ever come to being approved. In 1993, 1996, 1998 and 2000, the measure was turned down by significantly greater margins than this year’s, with 950, 485, 800 and 945 votes separating suppor t from opposition, respectively, according to New Brunswick Today. Hard campaigning leading up to election day by both suppor t and opposition par ties likely contributed to the closing of this margin. More importantly, however, provisional voters should attend the BOE meeting because their vote, as long as it’s counted, could ver y well determine the outcome of the ballot measure. With Hurricane Sandy displacing residents and students from their homes and preventing many from making it to their designated polling locations, it is likely that more provisional ballots were cast this year than in years past. Given that provisional ballots, which are used when a voter’s eligibility is called into question, can be easily disqualified or discarded, physical presence tomorrow is important. Again, the decision to attend tomorrow’s hearing should be made irrespective of a voter’s stance. If anything else, provisional voters should attend to make sure their vote is counted and not simply thrown away.

Exactly what New Brunswick needed PHILOSOPHIES OF A PARTICULAR AMERICAN ED REEP
I
love food. If I were to rank all the physical pleasures the human body is capable of feeling, I would put the tingling sensation in my taste buds when I eat a delicious meal at the top of the list. I love cooking, too. Cooking is an act of creative expression. If you create a delicious meal, you feel accomplished. You feel like an artist. You feel the same way a painter feels when they paint an aesthetically pleasing picture or the way a writer feels when they write an interesting story. You know in your heart that you contributed to human happiness, to human entertainment, to human pleasure. If you create a tasty meal that someone enjoys eating, you’ve helped make the world a better place. Since I started living off campus my junior year, I’ve been trying to live out my yuppie cooking fantasies, where I eat in all the time and cook all sorts of tasty meat dishes and grilled favorites. My efforts have been hindered, however, because of a lack of good ingredients. Being without a car, I have found the supermarkets in walking distance of my Somerset Street house to be lacking in many respects, particularly with regard to meat. The meat selection at the

yet, but based upon what I’ve seen there and my extensive knowledge of bread and cold cut quality, I’m sure the subs are at least comparable to what you can get at Jimmy John’s. Let me be fair and balanced. I’m an independent critic, you know. What’s the negative? Well, the milk section at The Fresh Grocer was rather anemic in terms of its selection. It wasn’t the overwhelming wall of chocolate milk varieties like I get at Shoprite. That’s about it. This place really is that good. I’m being completely objective when I say this place feels like a kiss from heaven. I’m being completely objective when I say that walking around The Fresh Grocer is like walking around a blissful fantasyland of culinar y treats meant for kings. The amount that The Fresh Grocer will positively impact me is beyond hyperbole. The Fresh Grocer is a supermarket that will radically change the quality of life of offcampus University students for the better. It’s right across the street from the train station at 100 Kirkpatrick St. Go, and be amazed. Also, when you first enter, get yourself a Fresh Grocer card immediately, so you can enjoy discounts with your first purchase.

Republican revenge won’t help either party TOM VERENNA
T
he Daily Targum published my column Oct. 25 titled, “Political eschatologies and the angr y voter.” If you haven’t read it, you probably should — in fact, if the events following the election are any indication, it should probably be required reading. Prior to the election, one of the main talking points for the Republican Party was job creation. They argued, among other things, that the GOP had the key to creating jobs. Romney, who never quite divulged his job creation plan to anyone, consistently told his constituents he would add millions of jobs if elected. He did this while also arguing that the government is not responsible for job creation — go on and just try to wrap your heads around that contradiction. But it seems that this great plan of job creation only mattered to the Republicans in charge when their candidate was on top (or, rather, when they believed — contrary to Nate Silver and the actual data — their candidate was on top). Oh, how the mighty have fallen. Now that Obama has been reelected, job creation takes a back seat to revenge tactics. Just this past week, over 200 employees of Murray Energy Corp and UtahAmerican Energy were fired by their CEO Robert Murray because Obama won the election. You may remember Murray. He made the

In other words, some Republicans because it suggests that Republicans and are self-sabotaging their own futures Democrats are suffering because certain because they believe — falsely — that individuals are trying to make political there is no future for them.
In fact, it is so bad that some people have even petitioned for their state to secede from the union. Some have threatened to move to Canada to avoid the “socialist worldview” to which they earnestly believe Obama and his supporters subscribe (though I’m not sure where they think they’ll evade ‘socialism’ in Canada, with its universal health care, strong social welfare systems, and secular government.) Many Republicans — 63 percent, according to Politico.com — believe Obama is a socialist. This and the idea that 40 percent of Americans — and about 17 percent of Americans in general, as of July 26 — still believed that Obama is a Muslim is completely absurd. As an acquaintance of mine opined aptly, the belief that Obama is both a 1960s Alinsky-style socialist and a radical Muslim is just completely astounding. The only way someone can believe that a single person can hold both of these latent and contradictory worldviews is through ignorance, indoctrination and fear. For those reading this article, I hope you recognize your own eschatologies. We all make choices depending on how we see the world and how we interpret contemporary events, and those choices have consequences. Recognizing our presuppositions about others is key to stopping decisions that could otherwise hurt thousands of people.

THREATS Senior climbs record books with 22 tackles against Black Knights CONTINUED FROM BACK “We noticed that some of his kicks were low,” Merrell said. “I used my jumping ability, and I got to it.” Merrell was not the only player to turn in a big play without the ball in his hands. And without those plays, the game would not have ended with a 21-point gap. Army did not have much trouble moving the ball, especially on its opening drive, a 16play, 76-yard touchdown push to open the game. It had 282 rushing yards on the day, far more than the Knights are used to giving up. But two defensive backs turned in plays that negated many of those yards. Junior cornerback Logan Ryan recovered a red zone fumble, and senior safety Duron Harmon scored on a very bizarre fumble recovery.
Army quarterback Trent Steelman attempted an option pitch, but Harmon grabbed the pitch instead and ran it 73 yards for a touchdown. “I knew they were running the option to my side and somehow, I guess it was a bad exchange and [the ball] just popped up and fell right into my hands,” Harmon said. “I was kind of stunned. I probably stood there for about half a second and then I just took off and saw green.” That was the final score in the contest, putting the game out of reach and securing Rutgers’ eighth win of the season. It was also not the first time the defense has come up with the stops it needed to turn the flow of the game in its favor. “A team can drive all the way down to our one-inch line, but that doesn’t mean they’re crossing our goal line,” said senior linebacker Khaseem Greene. Greene led the Knights with a game-high 22 tackles, placing him third on Rutgers’ all-time list for most tackles in a single game.

The Rutgers men’s basketball team had a new season, new focus and what head coach Mike Rice described as a new approach to preparation. But none of that prevented the Scarlet Knights from looking like the same young squad that took the field last season. That resulted in a 56-52 loss Friday to St. Peter’s. While junior transfer Wally Judge had an impressive start to his career — collecting a doubledouble with 11 points and 12 rebounds — the backcourt did not provide much support. Sophomores Eli Carter, Myles Mack and Jerome Seagears scored a combined 15 points on 5-for-23 shooting. When asked about their per formance, all Rice could do was chuckle. “They didn’t play very well,” he said. “They now have to become a little bit tougher and a little bit more disciplined. We’ll work on that.” The Knights were supposed to take advantage of their added experience and their home court
to begin their new season the way they wanted to. But none of that materialized. “At the end of the day, we were supposed to be the better team,” Judge said. “Congratulations to them for winning. They played hard. I can’t take anything away from them. They deserve it. At the end of the day, we let ourselves down.” To make matters worse, Rutgers had only two days to fix what it saw. The Knight take the court at the Louis Brown Athletic Center again tonight against Sacred Heart in hopes of recovering to enter the win column. The running theme throughout the locker room after the game in relation to tonight’s game centered around one word — response. Part of that response began before the game was even over. Rice substituted throughout the entire game, involving 11 different players. “[We were] tr ying to find somebody who had any toughness, to be honest with you, any mental or physical [toughness], who had a purpose,” Rice said.
He expects to play a different lineup tonight against the Pioneers. Sophomore forward Kadeem Jack is a likely candidate for opening the game on the bench, having played only eight minutes against the Peacocks. Sacred Heart, on the other hand, is on the heels of erasing a 24-point deficit Saturday to top Yale in its season opener. Rutgers had plenty of trouble controlling St. Peter’s guard Desi Washington — he led the Peacocks with 18 points — and if Friday is any indication, the Knights have another difficult game. The Pioneers have senior guard Shane Gibson, who averaged 22 points per game last season, and opened this year’s campaign with 29 points. Judge believes the team has to let its opener go and keep progressing. “We took a punch, and it hurt,” he said. “We have to respond the right way. Now it’s over, and we have to go win the remaining games on our schedule.” For updates on the Rutgers men’s basketball team, follow Joey Gregor y on Twitter @JGregoryTargum.

PATTERN
VOLLEYBALL DEPAUL 3, RUTGERS 1
Coleman works on timing with Nova in Knights’ offseason CONTINUED FROM BACK second half — is it going to be three again?’” said head coach Kyle Flood. “And thankfully that wasn’t the case.” Jamison likely would have carried more if not for a swollen ankle, which sidelined him until 10:38 remained in the fourth quarter as the game was still tied, 7-7. But three straight runs set up a 31-yard touchdown pass to sophomore Brandon Coleman for the contest’s decisive score. The route combination — an inside pattern-turned-back-shoulder-fade — has become Coleman’s calling card. He scored on identical plays Sept. 22 at Arkansas and Oct. 27 against Kent State, and it nearly worked in wins at Tulane and South Florida. “In this game, we were going to have limited possessions,” Coleman said. “The way the game was going — body blows to body blows — it was 7-7 most of the game. I just was waiting for another opportunity.” He found it from sophomore Gar y Nova, whom Coleman spent hours with during the summer perfecting the route. The Knights knew the look they faced on that second-and-10, and Nova recreated the play he and Coleman ran all summer. “I don’t think you have to get outside of your comfort zone unless you have to,” Flood said. “I had confidence even if we punted it to them we were going to have a chance to stop them and keep it a 7-7 game until we could make enough plays.” One, Jamison’s 16-yard touchdown pass to Coleman on Rutgers’ second drive, came early. Jamison took a toss, saw a pair of defenders draped around Coleman and let the 6-foot-6 wideout create his own position. With the score, Jamison became the first Knight since Mohamed Sanu in 2010 to throw, rush and receive a touchdown in the same season. “That guy is very talented,” Coleman said of Jamison. “He is very versatile, and he’s been itching at that opportunity.” It all mattered little when 5:51 showed on the game clock in the third quarter. Jamison sat atop the bed of a trainer’s cart while medical personnel tended to his right foot. Without him, one drive ended with a punt. An interception cut the next one short. “It felt a little bit like last year,” Flood said of 2011, when Rutgers nursed a one-point lead late against Army. But the Knights regained control, thanks mostly to 21 unanswered points in the final nine minutes. They also did so in the Big East, where now-No. 20 Louisville lost, 45-26, at Syracuse, making Rutgers the league’s last unbeaten team in conference play. “I don’t see it as a driver’s seat,” said Flood, who had not heard the outcome before his postgame press conference. “It’s an extremely competitive league, and for us to be thinking about any three games would be a big mistake.” For updates on the Rutgers football team, follow Tyler Barto on Twitter @TBartoTargum.

RU drops final road match to DePaul BY AARON FARRAR CORRESPONDENT
The Rutgers volleyball team hit the road to close out its 2012 campaign, as the Scarlet Knights played DePaul in Chicago in a rematch from Nov. 3. The season ended on a sour note for the Knights as the Blue Demons beat them, 3-1. Rutgers kept it close throughout the match, but came up short with final set scores of 25-27, 34-32, 2125 and 25-16. The Knights (18-12, 4-11) and DePaul (9-18, 4-10) faced off only a week ago in a match that ended with Rutgers squeezing out a victory in five sets. Rutgers looked for the same winning result yesterday, but the Blue Demons had other plans in mind. Rutgers’ year comes to a tough end after losing consecutive contests to cap the season. The Knights hoped to clinch their first Big East Tournament bid in more than a decade.
Once St. John’s defeated Rutgers on Nov. 7, the Knights’ chance at a spot was gone. “The ef for t level for our team has always been there,” said head coach CJ Werneke after the loss. “It’s never been questioned. How ef ficient that ef for t has been, that’s where at times it hasn’t been easy. … It has just come down to when we didn’t execute in big moments.” In the fourth and final set of the match, the Knights did not have enough left to extend their season to a fifth set. They put themselves in an eight-point hole at 19-11 and could not recover. Senior middle blocker Alex Jones paced the Knights in the final outing of her career with a match-high 18 kills. Freshman outside hitter Alex Lassa contributed a double-double with 14 kills and 13 digs. Senior setter Stephanie Zielinski was back at it again, ending her career with a 53-assist
match. It was the 12th time this season she surpassed 50 assists in a contest. The opening sets provided immediate action for onlookers as both had to go to extra serves to declare a winner. With the loss, Rutgers and DePaul are tied 5-5 all-time in matches against each other, with the last eight meetings coming in Big East play. Werneke credits his younger players for their play in the team’s best season in his five years with the program. The Knights have shown promise for the future of the program during the past few months. “There’s no doubt that our underclassmen played a big role during this year, especially the freshmen,” he said. “So anytime you can get them experience at the college level, you just anticipate continuous improvement. We still need to add some pieces to our puzzle for next year, but with the
underclassmen’s per formance and experience this year, the team looks really good.” With the season over, Rutgers clinched its first winning record since 2004. The squad has the most wins in a single season since the 2000 team secured 23. Its four conference victories are the most since the 2005 team recorded six. Entering the of fseason, Werneke will take some time to reflect. He sends off his first group of seniors and looks to a group of underclassmen he has seen good signs from. “Obviously [we’re going to] take some time to decompress and process the year,” he added. “Then it’s time to say, ‘OK, where are we?’ We can reassess things, probably enjoy a little more instead of looking back. We’re [18-12] and that’s something that hasn’t happened around here in a very long time. So we can take some time to soak it all in and kind of exhale a little bit.”

Lack of offensive rhythm plagues RU BY TYLER BARTO SPORTS EDITOR
Dane Miller had seen the problems persist before. So when they resur faced in the Rutgers men’s basketball team’s season-opening loss Friday to St. Peter’s, the senior wing knew it would take more than head coach Mike Rice to solve them. “It didn’t really matter what [Rice] did,” Miller said. “He can’t make us shoot open shots. He can’t make us not
shoot the ones we’re not supposed to take.” In a 56-52 loss Rice said he did not forecast, the Scarlet Knights’ halfcour t of fense trudged through 60 minutes at the Louis Brown Athletic Center. The Knights shot less than 36 percent from the field, including a 2-for-13 mark from 3point territor y. But Rice pointed out more looming issues. “If you can’t go in and run a play we talked about doing in the huddle, then you’re not
with us,” he said. “That’s some of the things we’re going to have to find. Who’s with us? We’ll star t one by one with each individual.” Rutgers (0-1) suf fered from a one-on-one syndrome on of fense, which became a one-on-four problem, Rice said. St. Peter’s (1-0) was happy to oblige. Despite trailing for the majority of the second half, a 3pointer from guard Yvon Raymond with a minute left gave the Peacocks a permanent
lead. The loss was Rice’s four th in two seasons — the amount of time with this team’s roster makeup — to a midmajor program. The problems were recurring. “It’s the same thing. It’s a probably a little bit of a lack of buy-in,” Rice said. “Right now we’re a little bit too individual-oriented. I’ll have to fix that.” Rice lamented team in-fighting and a growing disconnect with players following a Dec. 7 loss last season to Princeton. He cited a lack of listening. He

had to undo what 18 years of basketball had taught his group of 18- and 19-year-olds. With his roster virtually intact this season, Rice might have to do so again. “We were tr ying to r un away from people,” he said. “Mentally and physically, they dominated our players.” Newcomer Wally Judge held his own. The junior for ward, on the cour t for the first time since transfer ring from Kansas State a year ago, managed a double-double in a team-high 33 minutes. But the most meaningful ticks in the game went by without him, as Judge watched the last critical series with five fouls. “We laid down,” he said. “We beat each other up in practice. … We push ourselves to the limit, and then we get out here and a little bit of adversity comes and we laid down.” Rice expected more plays to run through Judge — one of the Knights’ only consistent of fensive presences — in the second half. But abbreviated plays, lack of execution and other factors forced Judge to create his own of fense. The coaching staff simplified its scheme to fit Judge, Rice said, but often times, it was Rutgers’ offense as a whole that looked simple. So the rehabilitation process begins anew. Rice did not expect it following a successful preseason, but little with the Knights has gone as planned. “Somebody’s got to be a leader — not by saying anything, not by yelling or cursing anybody out,” Judge said. “Somebody has to take ownership for the lack of discipline this team has shown.” For updates on the Rutgers men’s basketball team, follow Tyler Barto on Twitter @TBartoTargum.
MEN’S BASKETBALL CARTER SITS MOST OF FIRST HALF
Early foul trouble hampers guard BY JOEY GREGORY ASSOCIATE SPORTS EDITOR
Rutgers head men’s basketball coach Mike Rice ran into an issue last season with fouls. As the coach of one of the youngest teams in the nation, he saw too many infractions committed that he called “silly” and assured they would decrease now that the team is more experienced. But he did admit the Scarlet Knights would stay aggressive, which would lead to fouls. He did not say how many of the team’s 15 fouls in Friday night’s 5652 loss to St. Peter’s were because of aggressive play and which were not. But it is likely he was not at all thrilled when sophomore guard Eli
Carter picked up two fouls early, forcing Rice to remove him from the game for the rest of the first half. “It’s tough, because [Carter] does mean a lot to our team,” Rice said. “I just wasn’t comfortable [leaving him in].” Even when Carter was playing, he made little impact in the team’s favor, ending the game with only five points and one assist. Carter also made only two of his 12 shots and turned the ball over three times. “We [told him], ‘Eli, let the game come to you,’” Rice said. “And unfortunately, he didn’t on several occasions in the second half.” Rice noted the number of layups Carter had that he failed to convert, which Rice estimated to be three.
Those three made layups would have more than doubled both his point total and shooting percentage, as well as given the Knights six more points, which would have been crucial in what ended as a four-point loss. Rice said while he did not agree with one of the fouls, things could have played out differently. “How do you respond?” Rice said. “We didn’t respond maturely with a mental toughness or a purpose. We just went out and tried to do ever ything on our own.” For updates on the Rutgers men’s basketball team follow Joey Gregory on Twitter @JGregoryTargum

Sophomore’s strike advances Rutgers BY BRADLY DERECHAILO CORRESPONDENT
The game plan for the Rutgers women’s soccer team was simple: control the ball and limit Colgate’s opportunities around the net. The Scarlet Knights executed their plan, defeating Colgate, 1-0, Saturday to advance to the second round of the NCAA Tournament. The Raiders managed 20 shots against the Knights, a stat head coach Glenn Crooks expected. “We beat a very good team,” Crooks said. “I don’t know what type of reputation Colgate has or what people think, but they
are a very good team. It was a great win, and we came up big a couple of times and fought from start to finish.” Senior goalkeeper Emmy Simpkins spearheaded the shutout, registering five saves in the match, including a game-saving deflection in the 63rd minute. Colgate for ward Jillian Kinter shot the ball right in front of Simpkins, but the Concord, N.C., native dove to her left to prevent the Raiders from tying the match. “It was a well-deserved clean sheet,” Crooks said. “She was very good and when we needed her to
come up big, she did. She had a great match.” And while Rutgers’ preparations were to limit Colgate’s opportunities, junior for ward Jonelle Filigno said earlier in the week the team needed to convert on shots early to avoid playing catch-up the whole contest. After a goal by sophomore for ward Cassie Inacio was called back on an offside ruling, Filigno had her chance in the 59th minute. She launched two shots on goal, but did not convert either of them. Fortunately for Filigno and the rest of the team, those missed
opportunities meant little thanks to Amy Pietrangelo. The sophomore midfielder found the back of the net in the 20th minute off of a pass from Inacio. Pietrangelo blasted a goal past Colgate goalie Ashley Walsh for the only score of the game and her second game-winner of the season. “Colgate was trying to clear the ball out and I saw the ball coming out, so I just hit it with my left foot,” Pietrangelo said. “It felt great. I was happy to help the team, so it was a great feeling.” The win marks the sixth time Rutgers has advanced past the first round under Crooks, an
achievement he credits everyone but himself for. “I’m very proud of the team and my coaching staff and everyone around,” Crooks said. “We just had one game to get ready for and everyone did a good job getting ready.” Crooks was impressed with Colgate’s talent level, but Rutgers’ next opponent provides a bigger challenge. The Knights take on No. 2 seed Virginia in the second round Friday, with the Cavaliers owning a win against La Salle in the first round. While Rutgers continues to prepare to pull off an upset, for now, the team has time to take in its victory. “Virginia is one of the best teams in the country, there is not any question about that,” Crooks said. “They have been one of the best in the country for a long time. There are a lot of challenges coming up, but we are going to enjoy it now and really it is a thrill to still be playing.” For updates on the Rutgers women’s soccer team, follow Bradly Derechailo on Twitter @BradlyDTargum.
