Center shares studies on equine science, safe riding Event attracts 100 people interested in state’s $1 billion horse industry BY GIANCARLO CHAUX CORRESPONDENT
From helmet safety findings to the use of horse waste as a potential energy source, horse enthusiasts learned yesterday about the University’s Equine Science Center’s latest research. Kar yn Malinowski, ESC director, said the center continues to focus on horse health and well-being, a mission its members have strived for since it began in 2001 on Cook campus. The center consists of four or five core faculty members as well as about 40 affiliated professors, she said. “Everyone of us here at the center love, uses and participates in equestrian activities,” Malinowski told a crowd of 100 people at the Equine Science Update in the Cook Campus Center. “Not only are we doing the science, we are living and practicing that science.” The center received $170,000 in grants and contracts as well as $276,627 in donations, gifts and sponsorships, Malinowski said.

Fundraising aspects have become an important factor after the center’s state funding was taken away three years ago, she said. “We spent a lot of time this year meeting with legislators to try and get some of that state funding back for the center,” she said. Part of the money will go toward two equine health projects the center plans to fund in the next year, she said. The center honored harness racer Linda Toscano with the 2013 “Spirit of the Horse” award, which Malinowski said was created to recognize those who have both been impacted by horses and have given back to the industry. Toscano, a New York native, won the Hambletonian, a major U.S. harness race, on Aug. 4, becoming the first female trainer to win the event since it began in 1926. “It means a lot to me particularly because this isn’t necessarily about my achievements but it’s about the horse, and the horse is really what it’s all about,” Toscano said.

Poll forecasts improved job outlook BY MARISSA OLIVA STAFF WRITER
College graduates have less to fear when looking for jobs this year, according to a recent poll. Graduate Management Admission Council, the organization that administers the GMAT exam for business and management programs worldwide, polled employers from 182 companies around the world, including 45 Fortune 500 companies. The poll found that 76 percent of employers plan to hire new MBAs in 2013, up from the 69 percent that hired class of 2012 MBAs. Fifty three percent of employers plan to hire new graduates with non-business master’s degrees, an increase from last year’s 48 percent. Forty three percent of employers plan to hire Masters in Management graduates, up from 33 percent that hired in the previous year.
“As companies in an uncertain economic outlook focus on both efficiency and growth, we see that employers are looking to hire management degree-holders to help them better meet their future business goals,” said Rebecca Estrada, survey research manager for the Year-End Poll of Employers, in a statement. Janet Jones, interim director of University Career Services, said she has seen indications of the trends in the poll. “There has been an uptake in registration for career fairs and stronger interests from employers to network with students, so overall absolutely there has been a rise and more activity,” Jones said. The poll also found that the vast majority of polled companies plan to offer more internships in the upcoming semesters. SEE

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

While University Dining Services gave students an alternative to plastic takeout bags, New Jersey Public Interest Research Group will be trying to spread the use of reusable bags further for businesses in New Brunswick and Highland Park next semester. NJPIRG’s “Ban the Bag,” a campaign to reduce the usage of plastic bags on campus and the local area. They collected about 5,000 petitions last semester to end the use of plastic bags on campus, said Alexandra Schneeberg, an NJPIRG intern. The petition prompted Dining Ser vices to offer free black canvas bags at the beginning of the semester, which later changed to a $1 fee for purchase for those interested. “Even with the bag, people are using something to hold their food and their beverages, [as in] straws and lids, and they’re taking a variety of items that need to be either
recycled, composted or go to a landfill,” said Joe Charette, executive director of Dining Services, in a previous article. Lesly Kurian, campaign coordinator for NJPIRG’s campaign, said the organization is pushing Dining Services to enforce and inform students about the option of using canvas bags as an alternative. “I think the biggest thing is continual reminders,” said Kurian, a Rutgers Business School sophomore. “[That] there are better options, it’s about visibility, continuously educating and keep reminding people to use better options.” The organization is planning to come up with two city resolutions for the next semester, where NJPIRG would seek to stop businesses from giving out plastic shopping bags in New Brunswick and Highland Park. “[We will be] working out a plan to pass the resolution and help business transition to using canvas bags,” she said. She said the organization will be planning to distribute fliers
and facts about the harmful effects of using plastic bags to residents and get support from those communities. “Plastic bags when they get into water [they photodegrade],” she said. “They break up into smaller and smaller [pieces], making it harder to clean up.” Plastic bags were not widely used until the 1970s, when it became more prevalent throughout society, said Schneeberg, a School of Arts and Sciences first-year student. It was not until much later that the use of plastic bags was recognized as harmful for the environment, she said. “People started recognizing that things that we’re doing that [are] supposed to be more convenient [are] actually harming our environment,” she said. The organization continues to collect petitions throughout the semester, she said, but the most crucial part of petitioning involves educating students about the cause. “Sometimes people don’t realize why a plastic bag is so harmful —
like for myself, I didn’t really know — it’s convenient, that’s all you think of,” she said. She said people do not realize that the plastic bags they use can end up in waterways, which can harm animals that consume the plastic bag. “Students should care about this cause because it affects everyone — it affects animals, it affects us,” she said. Schneeberg said she thinks people continue to use plastic bags because they see so many others continuing to use them instead of canvas bags. “It’s socially normal to carry a plastic bag out of A&P or ShopRite, and it’s convenient so our society is so fast-paced that we’re used to using plastic bags,” she said. She said giving the social norm of a plastic bag a negative connotation can help end the usage of plastic bags as it was done in Ireland. “It’s hard to create change — specifically change that they don’t think will be effective,” she said.

RESEARCH Bidle says he specifically studies phytoplankton CONTINUED FROM FRONT graduate students and professors at the University.” Bidle was one of 16 researchers awarded out of 180 applicants, and will receive about $2 million in total to fund his research. Bidle said his research involves the study of various functions and interactions of marine microbes and microscopic organisms that live in marine environments. He also observes their biochemical effects these organisms have in ocean currents, which can eventually lead to more information on how the earth’s climate is changing. “Most of the life in the ocean you can’t see,” Bidle said. “Ninety-five percent of biological weight in the oceans is made up of these microbes, making their interactions with the ocean extremely important.” Bidle will receive $500,000 per year for the next five years, said Ajit Subramaniam, a program director for the initiative. “We are looking for people who think out of the box and who think in innovative ways,” he said. “We are not looking for conventional problems and approaches. Bidle is working on some really exciting research that has the potential to really open our eyes.” This award will give Bidle much more freedom to answer questions concerning the ecosystem and also allow him to study implications for climate change, said Richard Lutz, director of the Institute of Marine and Coastal Sciences. The goal of the award is to allow Bidle more freedom with his research without facing monetary challenges, he said. “He will be able to use his own creativity to blossom instead of being constrained by the grant process,” Lutz said. Bidle said he observes how these organisms interact under stress or exposure to different viruses and nutrient change. This stress affects the movement of nutrients in the ocean, affecting the ocean’s ecosystem as a whole, he said. The ocean itself plays a large role in affecting climate change. “Climate change is a real issue and influences the oceans,” Bidle said. “Studying the habits of these microbes is linked to climate change.” He said understanding the way microbes respond to stress may help researchers predict future climate changes. Bidle said he works primarily with the microbe phytoplankton, the base of the food web in oceans. In his lab at the University, Bidle said he observes phytoplankton in cultures. Afterward, the cultures are brought to research vessels in the sea and compared to phytoplankton in nature. “We are indebted to a fantastic group of people,” Bidle said. “We thrive on interaction with others from other institutions, nationally and internationally.” Bidle said he hopes this award will open doors to work with even more institutions on the research at hand. “Interactions help us to shape the work that we do,” Bidle said. “I hope this acts as a conduit to foster even more interactions.”

Out of the 15 governors, the BOT will appoint seven, and the N.J. governor will appoint eight. “[This] is really going to change the dynamics for appointments within the Board of Governors,” Harvey said. Because trustees have sixyear terms, there is usually just one appointment to the BOG each year, and some years there are none, Harvey said. “With seven appointed [from the Trustees] and a six-year term, that is going to open up opportunities to be elected to the Board of Governors by the board,” he said.

As a result of keeping Camden, and as a part of a larger discussion on governance, the boards will appoint five members to the Camden board of directors, Harvey said. Of the five members, the BOG elects three and the BOT elects two. “[These are] the biggest changes with respect to the board since it was created in 1956,” he said.

OUTLOOK Jones says building connections can help in landing job CONTINUED FROM FRONT Jones said internship positions make students more competitive in the job market. “It helps with networking with other professors and adds experience [to] use in other jobs. Students that have done more internships will have an easier time in the job environment,” Jones said. Alyssa Ezon, a School of Arts and Sciences senior, said she held three internship positions during her college career in the public relations, marketing and sales fields. After graduation, she said she hopes to find a steady job in the media or public relations fields and begin living on her own, but worries about future prospects. “I am actually very worried about finding a job after I graduate,” Ezon said. “I know many people will be jumping to apply for anything they can get while I hope to find something I really enjoy.” Ezon said she is currently applying for internships for the spring semester but finds that
many employers are looking for more experienced workers. Jodi-Ann Rankine, a School of Arts and Sciences senior, said she completed her fall internship with Viacom MTV Networks, where she has a job lined up for when she graduates in May. Rankine said hard work is key when trying to turn an internship into a job opportunity. “I would say definitely get relevant internship experiences with a company that you’d like to work for, then work very hard so that the employees see you’re a hard and reliable worker,” she said. “When jobs become available, they will think of you first.” Jones said she recommends students engage in as much networking as they possibly can. “Building connections can increase opportunities to land a job,” Jones said. “Things like leadership, volunteer work and research are all experiences students can gain through other activities other than internships.” She said students should try to be open-minded to different opportunities so as not to limit their employment possibilities.

Booker finishes week on food-stamp budget Newark mayor challenged to $1.40 a meal after Twitter communication THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NEWARK, N.J. — Newark Mayor Cor y Booker has stopped living on food stamps. Booker ended his food stamp challenge Tuesday after spending a week living on $1.40 for each meal. The experiment began Dec. 4 after he challenged a Twitter follower to tr y to live on the monetar y equivalent of food stamps for at least a week. The challenge came during a debate about the role the government should play in school nutrition funding. “This was a difficult week for me. It was a modest brush with what the reality is for 100,000 of my residents who depend on the SNAP program,” Booker told reporters after a menorah lighting Tuesday at Newark City Hall. Booker said he was often hungr y and had to eat meals over the course of a few hours to stave off hunger. He also went through severe caffeine withdrawal, fighting headaches and sluggishness, because he didn’t buy coffee although food stamps can be used to purchase packaged coffee grounds. A prolific Twitter user, Booker said he felt he accomplished his goal of starting a national conversation about food stamps, food policy, and hunger. He also kept a video diar y of the week on LinkedIn. He said he was happy to see “dozens, if not hundreds,” of people participate.
But the Twitter follower, who accepted his challenge, was not pleased with the mayor. She told The Associated Press that he did not address her original concerns about school nutrition and “exposed his agenda,” which she described as unfriendly to struggling middle-class families who are not on food stamps. “I expected no less from a politician that doesn’t care to fix problems,” she said in a Twitter message. “I’m more upset that people fall for his show.” The 39-year-old woman, who lives in Nor th Carolina and uses the Twitter handle (at)MWadeNC, spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because she said she has received threats. She said she started the challenge Dec. 1, and her last day was Saturday. She said she did not drink coffee and ate lots of ham, eggs and potatoes. The mayor said he had the urge to make pancakes at 12:01 a.m. Tuesday, but did not. Instead, he woke up and made eggs and vegetables and worked out for an hour on a stationar y bike. He is now thinking about cutting back on caffeine. His usual habit is five to 10 cups of coffee a day as well as soda. Booker, a Democrat, has said he is considering whether to challenge Republican Gov. Chris Christie in the next election for the state’s highest of fice.

COMMENTARY COLLEEN THIERSCH
I
was very glad to see a piece featured in Friday’s paper about the recent deaths of Jovan Belcher and his girlfriend Kasandra Perkins, as I think this is a subject that deserves our attention. The author of Friday’s letter, titled “Kansas City Chiefs suicide prompts questions” stated: “Sometimes people just snap. There is no explanation or understandable cause.” After reading that excerpt from the article the questions prompted in my mind were: Really? No explanation? Sportscaster Bob Costas heads the group blaming Belcher’s suicide on the “gun culture” in the NFL. I would say that the blame belongs more to the game. This, tragically, was not some fluke incident. Former NFL players Junior Seau and Dave Duerson both died in the past twoyears of self-inflicted gunshot wounds to the chest. And in 2006, former Steelers player Terry Long was so deeply depressed that he drank antifreeze to end his own life. It’s nothing new that repetitive head trauma is bad for us. Science tells us that large numbers of concussions will lead to a degenerative brain disease which results in anger, confusion and depression. Boston University’s Center for the Study of Traumatic Encephalopathy announced last Monday that out of the 34 samples of brain tissue donated by the families of deceased NFL players, only one had no evidence of the disease. It’s also not a coincidence that 75 former NFL players have sued the NFL and their helmet manufacturer for not informing them of the long-term effects of concussions. Many former players have begun to feel the effects of this disease, which I’d bet Belcher was also victim to. To add outrage to tragedy, the Kansas City Chiefs coaches and Belcher’s own teammates continued the very next day to play a game in the same stadium where Belcher had just killed himself. Some 20odd hours after a member of their team killed his girlfriend and himself, the Chiefs continued to play the violent game. The fans are just as bad, I remember people tweeting that the Chiefs should “win the game for Jovan Belcher” or for his girlfriend or for his 3-month old daughter — what we should be doing for the victims of this tragedy is protecting the players. Of course, I have no evidence to definitively state that Belcher’s career was the cause of his demise, but I would suggest that the physical and psychological trauma of being a football player on a national stage was definitely a contributing factor. As the University makes the transition into the Big Ten, we will take on the reputation of being a school with both a strong basis in research and a competitive football program. To me, this seems to be a pairing as illogical and tightly bound as Romeo and Juliet. Colleen Thiersch is a School of Engineering junior majoring in biomedical engineering with a minor in English.

ournalists in today’s world like to talk a lot about the state of print — print journalism, that is. More often than not, this talk inevitably includes a lot of doom and gloom about the future of the practice. Print journalism is dying, they’ll say, and it’s simply a matter of time before the only thing standing between the consumer and a virtually unlimited supply of information is a 9.7-inch tablet display. And according to a recent Pew Research Poll, they’d be right. Between 30 and 50 percent of consumers today — from those of the millennial generation on up to middleage folk — primarily use mobile phones and tablets to get their news. (This is, of course, excluding seniors. Old habits die hard). In an increasingly digital world, tech-savvy consumers are abandoning the printed page their forefathers once regarded so dearly in favor of a new, on-the-go medium that dishes out information when they want it, where they want it and how they want it. Now, I’m not a journalist — not strictly speaking, at least. In my academic life, I deal primarily in the language of supply and demand functions and readings on the mind-body problem. (If you’ve yet to take a class in the University’s philosophy department, get on it). I’ve only a limited knowledge of the problems professional journalists are dealing with today, and that knowledge comes second hand from what I’ve gleaned during my days here at the Targum. But I am — by virtue of my work here at the paper — a student journalist. And as a student journalist, I can say that print journalism on college campuses is not destined to follow the same fate as that of the professional world.
The reason for this is varied, but it’s mostly because college newspapers occupy such a unique market in the world of print. Unlike local or national papers, college newspapers cater to a specific audience. With a continual influx of fledgling scholars and its strong emphasis on a sense of community, the nature of a college campus does much to ensure that these papers will always have a stable reader-base. And if they’re lucky, campus publications may also derive a good portion of their funding from these readers in the form of student fees. The point is reinforced by our own University community, whose independent campus paper, The Daily Targum, has managed to thrive for 143-some-odd years. Since 1980, it’s done so with the help of a small fee tacked on to the term bill of each student.
“Built by and for students, college papers play an integral role.” However it would be wrong to say that campus print publications are not facing at least some of the same challenges that professional print publications are. Today, the precarious climate of print journalism has forced, at least in part, even the lowly college newspaper to rethink its production and publication models. Changes in the way advertisers conduct business given an obvious switch in consumer behavior, along with the doors online journalism has opened in the way of making reporting across platforms more comprehensive and effective have both begun to factor into the way students across the country approach their jobs as journalists. In effect, some have already abandoned their daily print publications for the promising world of online newsmaking — others have only just begun to experiment with hybrid models.
For the Targum, any of these big changes are probably still some ways off. But the factors that have forced other college papers to rethink their approaches and cut into their print productions are the same ones that we face as a college daily today, and it’s going to take some ingenuity to solve them. It’s also going to take a strong showing of support from our readers, both in consumption of the papers we put out and the level of student involvement we receive. Next year, the Targum faces referendum — a process occurring every three years whereby we, as student editors, attempt to secure approval from you, our student readers. Successful capture of this vote will allow us to continue to use term bill fees as a source of revenue, thus ensuring our position as the University’s daily paper. Throughout the process, we’ll be looking to you as readers not only for this support, but also for input. Our intent is to serve the student body — but to do that, we’ve got to know what you’re thinking. Sending questions and concerns in the form of emails and letters to the editor, or simply dropping by our office during production hours are all great ways to let us know how we can better do our jobs. Built by and for students, college papers play an integral role in shaping campus discussion, providing students with up-to-date information, and serving as a point of contact for the community and its constituents. As the second oldest college newspaper in the nation, Targum members throughout the years have worked dutifully to fill this role. And so far, we’ve managed to weather the storm, always with both dedicated staff and equally dedicated readers. Bridging the gap between print and digital journalism may prove to be another challenge, but we’re confident. We’ve got a lot to be proud of.

Making the most of finals week WHAT THE HELALTH? CHELSEA GOHD
H
appy Finals Everyone! It’s that marvelous time of year again, when all of the efforts you’ve spent this semester creating your own kingdom of procrastination have crumbled into actually doing what you should have been doing all along. Your nights have shifted from staring at your work while yelling lyrics to your computer screen, to realizing the error of your ways and whipping yourself into shape. Mind you, not everyone spends all but the last few weeks of each semester lolling about. But no one, I’m sure, will dispute the fact that this final stretch is especially grueling and taxing. So how does a college student cope with the stress? Well, there are a few ways. The first way — and the healthy way — is to exercise, sweat it out, get gross. Exercise releases
all kinds of wonderful stress-relieving endorphins and, for me, it can be very focusing. Another way to relieve stress is venting to friends, arguing for fun, debating all of the scientific and obvious errors with last week’s column on animal rights. That was a fun one. But for those of us that don’t quite have the time to exercise or see friends during finals, and think that people that wake up at 5 a.m. to work out must have serious mental deficiencies, other methods are used. Energy drinks — are they good or bad? Energy drinks like Monster and Red Bull are an obvious alternative method. And, yes, everybody knows that they’re terrible for you, but no one really seems to care. Energy drinks are delicious and they wake you up. But these drinks are also loaded with sugar, caffeine, and a wide assortment of elongated chemical names. The cans actually come with a warning label. More than 48 ounces per day (the Australian warning label reads 16 ounces, while there are no warning labels in Europe or the United Kingdom) is cause for concern with regards to cardiovascular health. There have been a number of reported deaths due to heart attack from consuming energy drinks.
While this was usually due to excess consumption, energy drinks are probably not the best way to keep productivity levels up. Less exciting and delicious as energy drinks but still a topic of concern is the famed all-nighter. It’s not the most efficient way to get things done. We all know that just studying consistently and with vigor throughout the entire semester, with a little extra studying time towards finals, is probably the best way to go about it. But things happen. Classes and life get in the way of each other. Time runs away before you can even catch it. And then there you are a few days before finals week, with hundreds of pages to memorize and equations to understand, so you bunker down and stay up all night. But, is it worth it? Is it better than trying to somehow squeeze all that information into the daylight hours so that you can get some sleep? Probably not. There are always instances where you just have to get it done and there’s simply no other time, but, if possible, get some sleep.

he Big East named Rutgers men’s track and field jumper Corey Crawford its conference Field Athlete of the Week yesterday, following Crawford’s performance Dec. 9 at the New Year’s Invitational. The Oakland, N.J. native reached an event-winning distance of 7.60 meters in the long jump, which is currently the longest distance in the nation. The jump also fell short of the Rutgers long jump record by 0.07 meters. The long jump marked one of three event wins for the Knights at the meet, with senior Kevin Bostick taking the high jump and triple jump. Crawford and the rest of the Knights return to action Jan. 4 and 5 for the Rutgers Invitational.

The league has made moves to become a basketball super-conference, courting Butler and Virginia Commonwealth. It will carry 16 basketball teams this season, with Temple and Charlotte set to leave after this year. Representatives form the seven schools met with Big East Commissioner Mike Aresco on Sunday in New York to help assure the conference’s TV deal and to discuss future options.
THE NEW YORK JETS have claimed wide receiver Braylon Edwards off of waivers from the Seattle Seahawks. Edwards was released off of injured reserve Monday and was claimed Tuesday after 4 p.m. After the Jets released him following the 2010 season, Edwards played one season for the San Francisco 49ers, where he was plagued by injuries. Seattle signed him at the beginning of this season. During his two seasons with the Jets, Edwards caught 88 passes for 1,445 yards along with 11 touchdowns. Since then, he has caught 23 passes for only 255 yards and one touchdown. Edwards joins a shallow Jets receiving corps, lessened by receiver Stephen Hill’s LCL sprain Sunday against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Senior wing Dane Miller’s 10 points made up for the lack of frontcourt scoring from Wally Judge and Austin Johnson. TIAN LI
Judge scored only two points and picked up one rebound in 16 minutes of play. Luckily for the Knights, sophomore for ward Kadeem Jack stepped up with a career-high 12 points and six rebounds. “One thing I make sure to do is just be ready,” Jack said. “You’re going to get called on and … you should be able to be ready for that big moment.” With limited support in the paint and a conservative Judge playing sparingly in the second half, Jack’s production came at the right time. Colonials for ward Isaiah Armwood, a Villanova transfer, climbed the scoring column in the second half, finishing with 18 points — 14 in the final period. As he began to find his way to the basket, familiar holes in the Knights defense began to open. “He’s so much more confident and active than he was at
Villanova,” said head coach Mike Rice. “It wasn’t a great night for our bigs tonight.” As those holes opened, Rutgers began to settle for jump shots rather than work the ball inside. This time, those shots did not fall. After posting a 43.2 field goal percentage in the first half, the Knights failed to catch fire shooting the ball. Sophomore point guard Myles Mack finished the game as the only Knight to shoot better than 50 percent with 13 points. “They were wide-open shots,” Rice said of the team’s secondhalf looks. “If you’re a coach and you want to give your player confidence, you’re not going to tell somebody, ‘no.’” Rutgers forced 23 turnovers but turned them into only 17 points. While Rice is not thrilled with the number, he said he would rather work on those types of things in practice after a win instead of a loss. The positive mood in the postgame locker room gave the impression the team feels the same way. For updates on the Rutgers men’s basketball team, follow Joey Gregory on Twitter @JGregoryTargum.

DECEMBER 12, 2012 GYMNASTICS COACH PLANS TWO MORE PRACTICE MEETS BEFORE SEASON
Stretch affords Knights chance at final tune-up BY GREG JOHNSON STAFF WRITER
After more than a month of perfecting competition routines, the Rutgers gymnastics team has hit the final weeks of its preseason. Less than a month separates the Scarlet Knights from their first meet of the season Jan. 6 in Durham, N.H., and they do not finish poorly. During the team’s winter break from Sunday until Dec. 27, the Knights will not have formal practices and the challenge will be on team members to prepare individually outside of the Livingston Recreation Center.
Head coach Louis Levine says it is all part of a process in which the Knights must stay focused. “[The break is] a challenge every year, and it really does come down to the individual doing what they need to do to be prepared,” he said. “Then we get back and it’s a little bit of boot camp style to really push those last seven or eight practices that we have before the first meet.” Junior co-captain Alexis Gunzelman understands the Knights must take it upon themselves to remain fresh during the break. She already has a personal plan in mind.
“Definitely I’m going to be doing routines. I’ll probably do at least two routines four times,” she said. “I’m done my finals the 20th, so that gives me a week to get home and get that stuff done. So I think working out about four times is a good number, just to keep me consistent and keep me where I’m at right now, and not take a step back backwards.” Levine will implement two more intrasquad practice meets to simulate pressure-packed atmospheres for the team — one at the end of the week and again after the holidays before the first meet.
“The intensity in the practices has definitely stepped up,” said senior co-captain Jenna Zito. “We’re trying to do routines with pressure, and right now is the time we’ve really got to kick it up. I know finals and holidays are coming, but we can’t afford to slow down.” Another way Levine ensures the Knight do not get too comfortable in the gym during this crucial period is by leaving the door open on several lineup spots, insisting that no depth charts have been drawn up. He claims he has not decided on any lineup positions or expectations for the first meet.
Senior co-captain Jenna Zito competes last season in the floor exercise, where she scored 9.825 at the EAGL Championships, the third-highest score on the team. The Knights open the season Jan. 6. NELSON MORALES, SENIOR STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER / FEBRUARY 2012
“There’s going to be competition through the first few meets even,” Levine said. “There’s competition in the gym every day, and the good thing about this team is there are more people competing for the spots, and that’s a good way for us to keep improving.” As a result, the Knights’ freshmen have responded well, Zito said. “We’re going to rely on [the freshmen],” Zito said. “There are definitely some of them that we’re going to need their scores. I think a lot of them are starting to step up and rise to the occasion, and I think they just need to realize that they’re just as much a part of this team as [the upperclassmen] are.” The Knights project immediate contributions from freshmen Jenna Williams, Danielle Verdon and Nicolette Wilson on the uneven bars, floor and vault, respectively, Gunzelman said. As the preseason approaches its conclusion, Levine senses the Knights coming together and beginning to peak at the right time for the start of the season. “There was a lot of improvement from our first intrasquad to the one we had last week. It was night and day,” Levine said. “As long as we can keep progressing and keep moving forward in the right direction, our goals are attainable.” For updates on the Rutgers gymnastics team, follow Greg Johnson on Twitter @GJohnsonTargum.

After a relatively successful sophomore year, junior swimmer Mary Moser has come out strong and dominated the first half of the season for the Rutgers swimming and diving team. Moser has won six individual events for the Scarlet Knights this year. She has also played a role in Rutgers’ successful relay teams. Moser, who noticed a change in her swimming this year, attributes this improvement to a change in her training. “My coaches … were able to change my training around a bit, so I’m more sprint oriented during practice than I’ve ever been, and that’s definitely helped in my races,” she said. Head coach Phil Spiniello also noticed a change in Moser’s attitude and approach to swimming this season. “She trained over the summer here at Rutgers, and more mentally than physically came into this year and decided that she was going to do well,” he said. This extra training and focus has lead to a dominant performance by Moser this season. Since the first meet of the season, the Sony Werblin Invitational, she has been accumulating first place finishes. At the Sony Werblin Invite, Moser collected three total first place finishes in the 50-yard freestyle, 100-yard freestyle and the 100-yard butterfly. At the Knights’ next meet, a dual meet with Wagner, Moser continued this trend by touching the wall first in the 200-yard freestyle. Most recently in a meet against George Washington and Old Dominion, she won two events
after finishing first in the 50- and 100-yard freestyle. “I’m very happy with where I am in the season right now,” Moser said. “And the whole team is doing well, so that’s always encouraging.” Spiniello is also impressed with Moser’s performance so far this year, which he thinks came as a result of increased training. Because of this, she swims better than she ever has before, he said. “She’s gone faster in season this year than in her freshman and sophomore year,” Spiniello said. “She came to campus in shape and motivated and ready to make this season a special one.” In addition to having individual success, Moser has also been a key member of Rutgers’ relay squads. The relays have been a highlight for the Knights this season, and Moser has played a large part in their success. “I have confidence in her that when she’s on a relay she’s going to get the job done for the team,” Spiniello said. Despite her successful first half of the season, Moser has her mind set on competing strong in the more rigorous second half of the season. Her goal is simple: get better and do well in the Big East Championships. Spiniello believes that she can accomplish this goal in the second half. “If she keeps training the way she has in the first half — and she’s really embraced the work we’ve given her this year — if she continues to do that in the second half I expect good things from Mary,” he said.

Rutgers lands coveted local prospect BY BRADLY DERECHAILO CORRESPONDENT
Billy Ashnault swears he is a better wrestler right now than his little brother, Anthony. But he also knows the potential of arguably the biggest recruit the Rutgers wrestling team has ever landed under head coach Scott Goodale. “I still beat him,” said Billy Ashnault, a former three-time NCAA qualifier and now director of wrestling operations at Rutgers. “He’s going to get me sooner or later, but right now he’ll admit I still beat him a bit.” Anthony Ashnault, now a senior at South Plainfield (N.J.) High School, signed his letter of intent Friday along with five other grapplers that make up the 11th-best recruiting class for 2013, according to Amature Wrestling News. The younger Ashnault is the biggest acquisition of them all for Goodale.
Rated a five-star recruit and the No. 28 overall prospect in the Class of 2013, Ashnault currently owns a 130-0 high school record. He will attempt to become the first wrestler in state history to become an undefeated, four-time state champion. “It is really exciting to go through this in my last year,” Anthony Ashnault said. “I just try to take it one day at a time and not overstep my boundaries. I just look forward to each day, and soon enough I’ll be at Rutgers.” Billy Ashnault shares the sentiment. “If he finishes strong and does ever ything he is supposed to do, I’m sure he is going to be undefeated and a four-time state champ,” he said. “He doesn’t really look ahead and takes one match at a time. It could not really happen to a better person.” Anthony Ashnault figures to compete at 141 pounds when
he ar rives next season. Goodale believes his potential is unlimited as far as what he
“I just look forward to each day, and soon enough I’ll be at Rutgers.” ANTHONY ASHNAULT South Plainfield High School (N.J.) Wrestler
can accomplish on the mat for Rutgers. “He has tenacity and the ability and desire to get better ever y single day,” Goodale said. “He lives the lifestyle of someone who wants to win national titles, Olympic gold medals and world championships. Even though he is
so successful, he continues to get better.” Billy Ashnault said he was hands-of f in the recr uiting process with Anthony’s decision, admitting he did not even know if his brother was going to commit to Rutgers. “He could have gone anywhere he wanted,” Billy Ashnault said. “I just let him make his own decision and it worked out in the end.” Remaining close to his family played a big part for Anthony, whose sister also goes to Rutgers, he said. It also did not hurt that one of the Knight’s assistant coaches is a three-time NCAA qualifier, and also his brother. Billy Ashnault compiled 86 wins in his career at Rutgers, with two seasons of 25 or more victories. The ability to work with him every day and be close to his fam-
ily is something Anthony Ashnault appreciates. “He’s there for me whenever I want,” Anthony Ashnault said. “I’ll text him or call him, and if I need a workout, he’s there. He tells me if I need to work on one thing or another. I just wanted to be with my family. The whole package is a great deal. I get to be around family and be as comfortable as possible.” As far as catching up to Billy Ashnault, he believes time will tell. If ever ything plays out, Anthony Ashnault’s older brother will be on the sidelines to see it. “He’s still got me,” Anthony Ashnault said. “Hopefully soon enough I’ll catch up to him.” For updates on the Rutgers wrestling team, follow Bradly Derechailo on Twitter @BradlyDTargum.

Knights receive chance to test out depth BY JOSH BAKAN ASSOCIATE SPORTS EDITOR
Coming off consecutive victories of 26 points or more, the Rutgers women’s basketball team has had two games to jell and escape early season struggles. Southern enters the Louis Brown Athletic Center tonight to give the Scarlet Knights a third chance to boost their confidence. Despite coming from a school that is not a household name in the Northeast, the Jaguars have made a mark on women’s college basketball. Head coach Sandy Pugh has led Southern to the NCAA Tournament four times in her 12 years there, even producing a WNBA draft pick in 2002. The Jaguars’ (0-8) problem is that is all in the past. The matchup gives the Knights (5-3) a chance to further experiment with lineups, as they did in their last two easy victories. Despite the low-risk environments of the last two games, Rutgers still has questions to answer for itself. Its point guard situation with sophomores Syessence Davis and Shakena Richardson has yet to sort itself out, as the Neptune (N.J.) High School products are still a work in progress. Davis still has scoring issues, and Richardson still struggles with inconsistency. Richardson put together her best performance at Rutgers against Louisiana Tech on Sunday with nine points and a career-high six assists. But she also went scoreless in three games and did not record an assist in four games this season. Davis leads the Knights with 28 assists this year, including five or more in three games, and is second on the team with 15 steals. But her season-high point total is only four, and she shoots .296 from the field. The Knights also get to experiment with their frontcourt. Considering the depth, it is important for head coach C. Vivian Stringer to figure out how to use it for Big East play. Senior for ward Monique Oliver has been Rutgers’ most consistent asset, leading the
Sophomore point guard Syessence Davis has split time this season with classmate Shakena Richardson. Davis has 28 assists along with 15 steals through eight games, but her season-high scoring total is only four. JOVELLE TAMAYO, EDITOR-IN-CHIEF Knights with 12.9 points and 5.9 rebounds per game. That total is not very high for a team’s leading rebounder, but that comes mostly with a team with several competent players on the boards. Senior forward Chelsey Lee has become one. She has recorded five and six rebounds, respectively, in the last two games as she transitions back to her presurgery form. Lee has come off the bench in the past four games, and sopho-
more Christa Evans has started the last two at power forward. Evans has not played more than 25 minutes in a game this season. Part of that comes with splitting time with Lee, but Evans still needs to work on keeping out of foul trouble. Evans’ two quick fouls against Louisiana Tech contributed to the Knights’ biggest weakness in the game. They led the Lady Techsters in personal fouls, 21-12. The lackluster competition also gives Stringer a chance
to incorporate freshman forwards Ariel Butts and Rachel Hollivay again. Butts had a breakout performance against Louisiana Tech with six points and seven rebounds in 13 minutes. The Car ver (Ga.) High School product is still developing with Hollivay, but the Knights are waiting for Hollivay to put together a performance like Butts’. Hollivay, the ninth-ranked 2012 recruit entering the
season, shot 2-for-2 in the last game, but the 6-foot-4 forward has still not adjusted to beating larger, more athletic players of the college game for rebounds. If Southern plays like it has all season, there is likely little risk in the Knights bringing any lineup on the floor.

FOOTBALL GREENE JOINS PAIR OF NFL PLAYERS FROM RUTGERS ON LIST
Greene adds AP honor to growing awards haul BY IAN ERHARD CONTRIBUTING WRITER
The Associated Press named Rutgers senior linebacker Khaseem Greene to its All-America Third Team. The honor is his four th nationally, after being named AT&T ESPN All-America, CBSSpor ts.com Third Team All-America and Walter Camp Football Foundation Second Team All-America. Greene is the first Scarlet Knight to receive the honor since now-NFL wide receiver
Kenny Britt in 2008 and running back Ray Rice in 2006 and 2007. He becomes the first linebacker in school histor y to earn the honor. Greene led the team with 125 tackles and six forced fumbles this year and was named Big East Defensive Player of the Year for the second straight season. He is also the second player in conference histor y to win the award in consecutive seasons, after Virginia Tech’s Corey Moore in 1999. Greene stands at fifth in school histor y with 376 career
tackles. In a win against Army on Nov. 10, he compiled a career-high 22 tackles, the four th-highest total this season in the FBS. The Elizabeth, N.J., native was only recruited by two FBS schools out of high school — Rutgers and Connecticut — according to Rivals.com. He transitioned to linebacker from safety after his sophomore season and recorded two of the best defensive seasons in school histor y, leading the Big East in tackles during 2011 and 2012.

New league teams litter RU schedule BY JOSH BAKAN ASSOCIATE SPORTS EDITOR
The Rutgers football team announced its Big East home and away games and its nonconference schedule yesterday for the 2013 season. The Scarlet Knights host Houston, Cincinnati, South Florida and Temple next year at High Point Solutions Stadium. Rutgers visits Boise State, Connecticut, Central Florida and Louisville. Rutgers last played UCF in 2009’s Beef O’Brady’s St. Petersburg Bowl in a 45-27 victory. No dates have been decided for any games next season except the nonconference schedule. The Knights kick off 2013 by travelling Aug. 29 to Fresno State. They complete outof-conference play hosting Norfolk State on Sept. 7, Eastern Michigan on Sept. 14 and Arkansas on Sept. 21. The game against the Razorbacks marks the first time an SEC team visits the Knights. After ending the regular season with its first share of a Big East title in school history, Rutgers looks for sole possession next season. But it needs to do so by winning the first Big East Championship game. UCF, Cincinnati, UConn, Louisville and USF represent Rutgers’ opponents in the East Division, which the Knights need to win to make the conference championship. The Knights’ games against Temple, Boise State and Houston mark their games against West Division opponents. Rutgers and Louisville both visit Boise State next year, potentially in a Big East Championship preview. The Broncos are an early favorite to win the conference in their first Big East season. They currently sit at 19th in the BCS poll, despite five of six computers not ranking them. Boise State averages 30.4 points per game this season, better than any Big East team. It also only allows 14.9 point per game, which is the 12th-best output in the nation. For updates on the Rutgers football team, follow Josh Bakan on Twitter @JBakanTargum.

Similar script nearly fails RU in win BY JOEY GREGORY ASSOCIATE SPORTS EDITOR
The Rutgers men’s basketball team’s 6865 win last night against George Washington was all too typical. The Scarlet Knights (6-2) built up a 15point lead and then saw it disappear. They turned the ball over nine times in the second half and lost the rebounding battle, 45-29. But as they have done in several of their wins this season, they found a way to win. And in an upbeat postgame locker room, the sentiment was the same for each player. “We definitely would have lost this game last year,” said senior wing Dane Miller.
“[George Washington] would have went on a run, we would have turned the ball over, allowing them to score.” For much of the second half, the Colonials (4-6) were poised to take control of the game. Once that happened, Rutgers needed to establish a post presence, but there was an issue. Junior forward Wally Judge picked up two quick fouls in the first half, forcing him to the bench. He then began the second half but committed his third foul 30 seconds into the period. Miller helped pick up the slack inside. He ended the game in double figures again, scoring 10 points to go with four rebounds and four blocks. SEE
