U. police chief highlights emergency action plan BY HANNAH SCHROER CORRESPONDENT

BY ALEX MEIER In the wake of mass school shootings around the country, the University made efforts to ensure students know about its emergency procedures. The Chief of Rutgers University Police Department, Kenneth Cop, sent an email to the University community last Friday to remind students that RUPD routinely trains to handle emergency situations and alert students of what they can do to stay informed. The University has an emergency action plan for staff, faculty and students available online and as a smartphone app. The plan is available so that staff, students and visitors know what to do so they can take the plan and apply it to the situation they are in, said Steve Keleman, director of the Office of Emergency Management. The University breaks down emergency procedures in the

Known for his trucker hats and unkempt appearance, “30 Rock” actor Judah Friedlander will perform his stand-up routine tonight for the Rutgers University Programming Association’s free Comedy Night at the Rutgers Student Center on the College Avenue campus. The Daily Targum: Have you ever been to Rutgers before? Judah Friedlander: Yeah, I guess I have. I have friends that live there. DT: So what’s your impression of Rutgers? JF: I like it. You know, it’s a big school. There’s a lot going on there. I actually have friends who were on the Rutgers table tennis team. You probably didn’t even know you had a table tennis team but it’s one of the best in the country and I did a fundraiser there once for the table tennis club. I also played at the comedy club “The Stress Factory,” which is right there in New Brunswick. I have a lot of friends who have gone to Rutgers. DT: Have you tried a fat sandwich? JF: That’s at the Grease Trucks right? Yeah, I have and I’ll be hitting that place up either before or after the show. DT: Will you try the fat sandwich challenge? JF: I might have to. DT: Think you can do it? JF: I do. I’m gonna steal one of those trucks and drive it around campus and give free sandwiches to everybody. That’s what I’m gonna do. I’m for the people, you know?

action plan to make it easier for students to digest because they often get overwhelmed with information as incoming students, Keleman said. “These are the procedures the University looks for its community to perform,” Keleman said. Scott Sincoff, a School of Environmental and Biological Sciences junior, said he understands what the University is trying to do by reiterating its stance on protecting the community, but thinks that RUPD needs to physically connect with the community to boost confidence in police protection. “I have honestly been floored by the recent shootings,” Sincoff said. “To me, it is unthinkable why someone would harm innocent people in such a great magnitude.” Sincoff said recent events initially made him reconsider his safety on campus. “But I know that we as a community have to do what’s best to SEE

Professor reviews sea levels before, after Hurricane Sandy BY JUSTINA OTERO CORRESPONDENT

Superstorm Sandy flooded Kenneth Miller’s entire street and damaged the bottom of his house. Much of the property in his neighborhood, which was a few feet above ground level, was lost. Miller, a professor in the Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences, said that even though the amount of disaster and devastation from the storm was

Rutgers College Republicans to bring “Centurion” back Old student-run publication looks to add balance to politics on campus BY EDGAR CASTILLO CONTRIBUTING WRITER

The “Centurion,” a conservative student-run publication that ran from 2004 to 2010, is planning to return to the University in the following months. The Rutgers College Republicans are looking to bring the publication back to life after it stopped circulat-

ing in the fall of 2010, said Donald Coughlan, chairman of the Rutgers College Republicans. Coughlan said he has worked on reviving the “Centurion” since his appointment to chairman in November. “We want to restart the ‘Centurion’ to add a balance to the campus dialogue that often tilts to the left,” said Coughlan, a Rutgers

Business School junior. “We want to show that conservatism is alive and well at Rutgers.” The Rutgers College Republicans want to bring the publication back to help students make more informed political decisions and engage students to get involved, Coughlan said. “There is no voice for people in between the left and right. People like me with views in both the left and right need an informative and

SETTING THE RECORD STRAIGHT In yesterday’s page five photo of the Rutgers University Programming Association’s Sharpie potter y event, the Targum miscounted the number of attendees. About 125 students attended, according to RUPA president Adam Helgeson. The headline was misleading in yesterday's page three University article. The revised headline, which can be found in the online version of the story, is "EPA administrator urges student involvement in climate change debate." Judith Enck, an Environmental Protection Agency regional manager, did not say President Barack Obama's acknowledgement of climate change in his inaugural speech is not enough. The statement about the Cuyahoga River fire was misattributed to Enck. The information is instead according to the Ohio Historical Society.

U. mock trial team prepares for national tournament Team places third in last week’s invitational, beats Ivies BY SHANTAE BEDASSIE CONTRIBUTING WRITER

When Gregory Cui joined the Rutgers Mock Trial team in 2010 as a first-year student, the 5-yearold team had never been to a national competition. Now, Cui, a School of Arts and Sciences junior, is a leading attorney and treasurer for a team that is trying to get to the national tournament for the second time. The team placed second overall out of 670 colleges and universities in last year’s competition, said Rachel Holt, team captain. Many of the members are students who plan on attending law school after they graduate, said Holt, a School of Arts and Sciences junior. “It prepares undergraduates for law school and I don’t think I would be as organized or prepared for [the] real world if not for this organization,” she said. Zaniah Maynor, club president, said last weekend’s competition would be her last invitational. “[The competition was] bittersweet … I went into the

Dhruv Patel, a member of the Rutgers Mock Trial Team, listens at practice. The team will compete at a regional tournament at Penn State University on Feb. 9 and 10. The team hopes to reach the national tournament for the second time in its history. COURTESY OF ZANIAH MAYNOR weekend just wanting to achieve something for my team,” said Maynor, a School of Ar ts and Sciences senior. “I walked out with an outstanding attorney award.” The award is given to attorneys who are ranked highly by competition judges. The judges are composed of law students and real attorneys, Maynor said. They grade each competing attorney on a 0 to 20 scale, and those with a score of 17 or higher receive the award.

Out of more than 100 attorneys, around 10 received the award, Maynor said. Cui also received the award. The team is split into three groups based on skill and they are all sent to compete, she said. Holt said the competition was good practice for the new members of the team. “Other than myself and the president of the organization, everyone else is new to the A team,” Holt said.

Maynor said competitions combine acting, public speaking and law skills. “Finding people who work well together and who can react to their teammates and can anticipate each other’s actions is par t of having a good mock trial team,” Cui said. Holt said she transferred from Loyola University after she watched a Rutgers Mock Trail match and was highly impressed.

“We have always had the goal to go nationals. We went for the first time last year and we want to make the Rutgers Mock Trial [team] known,” Maynor said. The team’s coaches, attorneys Craig Aronow, Michael Roberts and Kimberly Aronow, run practices on Wednesdays and Sundays, Maynor said. “We tackle our trial techniques, understanding evidence, and presentation, which is our biggest advantage because of the time we take to work on ever y detail,” she said. Last weekend the team competed and placed third at Cornell University’s Ninth Annual Big Red Invitational Classic against other universities, some of which were Ivy League. “We were invited to compete because of our success last year and we wanted a physical competition before regionals,” Cui said. The team is headed to the 20team regional tournament at Pennsylvania State University on Feb. 9 and 10, Maynor said. Seven teams will advance to the next round. “After last year we were really proud placing second but we are not going to be happy until we avenge the loss to [Duke University] and get first in the national championship round this year,” Cui said.

For the next three days at the University, students on campus should not be alarmed when they notice certain buildings glowing red. As a part of the “Go and Glow Red” campaign to raise awareness about women’s heart health, Rutgers Against Hunger, Rutgers Facilities and Rutgers Student Life are collaborating to make the Douglass Campus Center, Rutgers Student Center, Livingston Student Center and the Werblin Recreation Center glow red, said Melissa Selesky, community relations director for Community Affairs. The campaign aims to raise money and awareness for heart disease affecting women, she said. People are encouraged to wear red and donate money to be used for research. Last year, she said the ef for t netted around $1,200.

“The risks women face are different [from those men face] … the symptoms are different for women,” said Dianne Gravatt, director of University Facilities. This is the second year the University has participated in the national campaign, which is in its 10th year, Selesky said. “Thousands of buildings across the country are illuminated on Feb. 1,” she said. This is the first year Rutgers Against Hunger has participated, said Kat Decker, program coordinator for RAH. The organization will be running a month-long food drive in which donors are encouraged to donate heart healthy foods. Donated food will go to RAHaffiliated food banks and pantries in New Jersey, including Elijah’s Promise Soup Kitchen in New Brunswick. Gravatt said facilities’ employees would be able to wear red instead of their usual uniforms on Friday if they donate $3.

FRIEDLANDER Comedian says he eats spaghetti over linguini CONTINUED FROM FRONT like the last month where everybody just started getting really emotional and a lot of people were crying. It was really weird. Now it’s fine, but a lot of people were like really upset. DT: I’m sorry to hear that. JF: No I was fine. I feel like we did something, we accomplished something and now we’re on to other stuff. It was a long time — 6-and-a-half years. DT: Can we expect a good season finale? JF: My standup show is so strong and so awesome and Rutgers is so cool that I’m actually skipping not only the “30 Rock” season finale, but I’m skipping the cast “30 Rock” season finale party to do this show. Because I care about you. I can always watch it online. DT: Who is your favorite character on “30 Rock?” JF: I’m gonna have to go with two and they’re smaller recurring characters. Dr. Spaceman and Dennis Duffy — Beeper King. Those two guys always crack me up. DT: How did you get your start in the entertainment industry? JF: I started doing stand-up when I was 19. After about seven or eight years of that, my first gigs in acting were TV commercials. I did a lot of TV commercials. Then I started doing stand-up on TV shows as well. MTV showed some clips of a short film I made. I started getting guest spots on TV shows, some recurring roles on TV shows. Then I started getting little parts in movies. I had a part in “Meet the Parents,” that was my first movie. That led to some other movie work. It just kind of kept building from there. DT: Are you working on any new projects? JF: Stand-up has always been my main thing. I’ve been doing that for over 20 years. Before “30 Rock,” I used to do about three to five movies a year. I did about 20 movies before I did “30 Rock.” So I’m gonna get back to doing movies again. I’ll also be doing even more stand-up and even more touring. It looks like, I’m not 100 percent sure yet, that I’ll be hosting a show on the National Geographic Channel about mythical creatures. Two weeks ago I did a guest role on “Children’s Hospital,” that show on Adult Swim. I did some Comedy Central stuff. So I’ll be doing lots of other projects. “The New Normal” actually wanted me to do a guest role on their TV show but I was unavailable. That’s another thing I could have done this week but I’m doing Rutgers instead. Yesterday my agent called me and said “The New Normal” offered to give me a guest role in a new episode but it films Wednesday, Thursday, Friday in Los Angeles and [I said] I can’t, I gotta do Rutgers. True story, not making it up. I’m skipping the “30 Rock” viewing party with the “30 Rock” people and the taping of “The New Normal” so I can do Rutgers. That’s how much I care about Rutgers. DT: How many hats do you own? JF: I’m not that good at math, so if there [are] any math majors

at Rutgers maybe they can come over to my apartment and figure it out. It’s a lot, there’s a lot. DT: How did you become the “World Champion of the World”? JF: Well they have the World Championships, which are basically karate death matches for charity, and I won it. It’s a tournament that runs 50 times a year and I’ve never lost. So “World Champion.” DT: What’s your best karate move? JF: It’s a little hard to explain. I can’t do it that often because it messes with the Earth’s rotation. There’s a man in China that’ll get mad at me. It messes up all the factories in China. The sun gets out of line with the moon. That move really I rarely do, but I have a lot of other good ones. DT: How do you keep your hair so beautiful and voluminous? JF: Can I marry you right now? That’s an excellent question. It’s just all natural. It’s not a wig. It’s not a perm. It’s just natural man-ness. DT: Tell us about your book “How to Beat Up Anybody: An Instructional and Inspirational Karate Book by the World Champion.” JF: It’s an instructional karate book and it’s based on my standup but it’s all new stuff. There’s over 200 pages. It’s 8 by 10. It’s in color. All jokes, photos and I teach you how to beat up ninjas, bigfoots and all kinds of things. DT: What’s your opinion on spaghetti? JF: I love spaghetti, are you kidding me? I’ll actually eat spaghetti over linguini. A lot of people might get mad at me for that. I like the classics. DT: Would rather fight a 100 duck-sized horses or one horsesized duck? JF: I would fight one horse-sized duck. I think visually it would look cooler. Horses are all right, you know? You don’t wanna mess with horses, especially the little ones. Technically a duck is a tougher fight because they’re amphibious so they can go on the water and the land so it could be a pretty exciting fight for the viewer because we can go on the water, we can go in the air, we can do it on land. With a horse you couldn’t really do that. DT: Boxers or briefs? JF: Neither. DT: Is she born with it or is it Maybelline? JF: I think she’s born with it. DT: Has Tina Fey ever picked her nose in front of the “30 Rock” cast? JF: No she hasn’t, but I think that should be on an episode. That should have been written for the show. DT: What kind of music are you into? JF: I like all kinds of stuff. The sound of someone choking Justin Bieber, that’s a pretty good song. I love ‘80s metal. I like a lot of stuff. DT: Have any movies ever made you cry? JF: Yeah, “Sex and the City 2.” It’s the scariest movie I have ever seen. I was trapped and I was scared and there was just no way out. Absolutely horrifying. DT: What is your eyeglasses prescription? JF: Well actually I have 20/20 vision. My glasses are just for protection really. I’m a sex symbol and the glasses actually tone down my sexuality. Otherwise people wouldn’t be able to concentrate on anything. No work would ever get done.

PLAN Cop says campus police completes gun drills every year CONTINUED FROM FRONT protect ourselves, and we have a plan in case of an emergency.” he said. Sincoff said RUPD does a good job of keeping students informed but should do something other than send emails because most students delete them. He said he feels safe on campus because he does not travel alone and because he is constantly aware of his surroundings. “Just like everywhere you go, you have to watch your back,” he said. Cop said RUPD does annual drills to train for active shooter response in which officers are deployed into real-life scenarios. Cop said active shooter situations involve a suspect purposefully targeting multiple people with a gun. “Those people tend to go for mass quantity and look for number instead of targeting a specific person,” he said. RUPD is also improving its educational awareness campaign and reaching out to the community to better train students and faculty to respond to crises, he said. An opt-in emergency notification system is in place that notifies students of emergencies via text message, he said. Eranda Wijayaratne, a School of Arts and Sciences junior, said he feels safe on campus because he does not go out late and walks in a group at night. “I don’t walk around randomly at 2 a.m.,” he said.

Wijayaratne, who lives in an off-campus house, said safety crosses his mind sometimes when he is approached at night, but he has never had an incident. “If we don’t go out we don’t have to worry,” Wijayaratne said regarding safety concerns on campus at odd hours of the night. Cop said the 2011 Rutgersfest incident should not be confused with an active shooter scenario. The incident was targeted at one victim, who received non-life-threatening injuries, and the suspect left the area immediately. “This was an act of violence that happened to involve a gun,” Cop said. Emergency operations plans are designed for responders and are put into action for crises like hurricanes, residence hall fires or active shooter scenarios, Keleman said. He said based on the severity of the situation, the emergency operations plan would expand accordingly to provide first-aid and counseling services. “It starts out local and then the emergency operation plan will expand out to address the incident,” he said. “If someone burns food [in their dorm] the fire department comes, but it doesn’t expand to other parts of the plan.” Cop said RUPD does emergency preparedness training to give people basic information on how to repor t suspicious activity and how to react. They receive regular reports of suspicious activity, each necessitating a response. “The community is an extra set of eyes and ears,” he said. “Without the community we couldn’t do our jobs.”

THIS WEEK’S

PENDULUM QUESTION

t comes with great surprise and disappointment for us to hear that members of the University student body have been unsuccessfully competing for a chance to discuss pressing issues with University President Robert L. Barchi. With urgent issues on the table like instate tuition fees, the window of time to discuss these issues is rapidly closing amid countless excuses and stalling from the University president’s office. In order to fulfill his promises of engaging students, it is necessary that Barchi find the time to meet with student leaders in the next two weeks. It has come to our attention that for the past few weeks, Rutgers University Student Assembly members have been tr ying all avenues to get in touch with Barchi, each being met with a dead-end or runaround. Students have not been able to establish direct contact with him or even get past a secretarial response, which is effectively stalling the necessar y attention the student body needs on time-sensitive issues. “This isn’t the first time that RUSA has attempted to have some kind of meeting with President Barchi. We’ve invited him on several different occasions to actually speak to the RUSA assembly,” said John Connelly, RUSA president. One of those occasions was an event that was promoted as having the University president in attendance. The event was ultimately a disappointment to the many attendees that expected to see him. Connelly himself has never met with Barchi since he assumed his position last spring. “I feel like there’s a recurring trend of saying [the University president] wants to meet with student leaders,” Connelly says, “and then when the student leaders show up at his office, they get a runaround.” The most recent response that RUSA received from Barchi’s office was a notice that the University President is booked for weeks to come. The following day Rep. Frank Pallone, D-N.J., tweeted about a meeting with Barchi at Old Queens, according to Spencer Klein, president of the New Jersey United Students. It is understandable that Barchi would feel the need to meet with legislators like Pallone, but it is

also disconcerting that he is not making time to meet with his own constituents first. Doing so would greatly benefit the University student body’s agenda on a state level. Otherwise, it can be assumed that Barchi is sending a message that he is not interested and doesn’t have the time for students’ concerns. We believe that it is crucial for the University president to keep up a direct line of communication with students, and Barchi’s recent actions fall short of what the student body needs. Among the issues that RUSA wants to discuss with Barchi are upcoming tuition hikes, debt inheritance from the UMDNJ takeover, the new strategic development plan — which we believe has had ver y little student engagement — and most importantly the status of in-state tuition for undocumented citizens. It is problematic that the student body still does not know where Barchi stands on the instate tuition bill. RUSA is hoping to get Barchi’s signature on the bill, which would allow undocumented New Jersey students to pay instate tuition fees. It is necessary for Barchi to meet with RUSA within the next two weeks, in order for RUSA to have enough time to take direct action in the case of Barchi’s lack of support. “There are students in the state of New Jersey who are getting ready to take on the next four years of their lives and need to know very soon if they can actually enroll in Rutgers University and whether or not will be able to afford it,” said Connelly. “President Barchi has yet to announce whether or not they can actually be a part of the university.” Frankly, RUSA is supposed to represent the student body to the University president, and Barchi is not allowing enough opportunity for the needs of the students to be met. One of the biggest expectations of Barchi since taking office has been his direct engagement and collaboration with students. With this latest correspondence, or lack thereof, it is clear that Barchi leaves much to be desired of his attention to students’ concerns. In order for Barchi to properly display his intentions of reflecting the needs of the student body, it is necessary for him to arrange a meeting with our student leaders, posthaste.

FOURTH WAVE DANNIELLE ROMOLEROUX

ow often do you find yourself in a crowded basement party arguing that, yes, feminism indeed is relevant and not just a stupid blame game? I bet that’s hardly any of you. During my Feminist Theory class, the idea that feminism is a rejected term for many females was reinforced. While discussing thirdwave feminism, my professor shared her feminist encounters, which, to my surprise, involved a tirade at a party. Although my professor found herself alone in defense of feminism, she didn’t disown her feminist beliefs. Like my professor, I too failed to find support from other females. This has a lot to do with the fact that females do not want to be associated with extremism, or because they lack knowledge about what feminism really is. The chance that I will magically convert you to feminism is highly unlikely because let’s face it: if my middle school friends — who’ve had the pleasure of listening to my rants about the origins of feminism while indiscreetly trying to convince them to read my books — still do not give

domestic violence cases. Third-wave feminism has a place for everyone. The idea of being a feminist has had the same negative connotation for years. I get it: Feminism has a bad rap and no one wants to be labeled a radical bra-burning feminist. How dare you call yourself a feminist, right? Well according to Bell Hooks, we should be advocating feminism. So do yourself a favor and take a course in the Women’s and Gender Studies Department. Feminism is something you should embrace. It is not something to run from. I’m tired of being the only one of my friends who cares about our past and where we should be going. And maybe I only feel this way because feminism found me as a young girl, or maybe it’s because my first Amazon purchases were three feminist books. Maybe it is the simple fact that I am so attached to feminism that I cannot bear to see my generation sit back and let it all go. It is our time as college students to revive the third-wave, and to be the force of a movement that has the potential to become single best thing for women’s liberation.

ver winter break, I went to a friend’s BYOB party for New Year’s Eve. I roll up with one of my favorite six-packs. I’m met with criticism from my friend’s dad about not drinking American beer. So here was the problem: first, my beer was from America. In fact, it’s from the River Horse Brewery, in southern New Jersey. The second problem was that the beer of his choice, Coors, is not an American company. My evangelism for local brews and in general, localism, was abated because I was a guest. However, I think there are various advantages of buying local and craft beers. First, what you think are American beers are owned by foreign companies. InBev, a Belgian beverage company, owns Budweiser. Molson Brewing Company, a Canadian beer giant, owns Coors. The last of the big three American beers, Miller, is owned by SABMiller, a British

There is nothing wrong with advertising, but there is positive intangible feeling knowing that my beer was the product of a passionate employee and a company that cares about quality products. I think the two biggest fears that prevent people in college from trying the lesser known local and craft beers are: cost and variety. I can’t argue about cost — craft and local beers do cost a dollar or two more per 6-pack than major domestic brews. I also understand that when it comes to beer, the prevailing attitude is that the keg is the only logical unit. But, I think you can overcome these barriers by realizing that if you spend an extra dollar or two, you can support a local brewer, stimulate the local economy, get a quality product and connect to the products you use everyday in a deeper way than just a clever Super Bowl ad.

Head coach Scott Goodale has amassed 20 wins twice during his time as coach, most recently during the 2010-2011 season. ENRICO CABREDO, STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER

RISE Goodale credits Winston, Rinaldi with program’s success during his tenure CONTINUED FROM BACK Head coach Scott Goodale understands why both want more than only one milestone this season. “Both guys are the same way,” Goodale said. “It is kind of what we have been preaching here since they walked on campus, and that was getting themselves on the podium. I’m glad they’re thinking that way. One hundred wins is a nice milestone, but there are bigger things.” The way Rinaldi and Winston treat those victories is also a reflection of Goodale’s modesty, as he brought the program to new heights since taking over in 2007. Goodale has accumulated an 84-28-1 record as head coach, which included a banner 20102011 season, when the program captured 21 victories. Rutgers climbed to No. 8 in the polls that season and defeated No. 3 Virginia Tech at the Louis Brown Athletic Center. Goodale, much like his veteran wrestles, diver ts credit to others.

“It’s about the guys and the work they put it, it’s not so much about me,” he said. “It’s our staff and what these guys put in in the offseason, and it’s a hard thing to do to wrestle five college seasons. There is a lot more that goes into it than a lot of people think from an injur y and training standpoint.” That training will continue for both Rinaldi and Winston, but the excitement from their 100th victor y remains only as an afterthought, much like the rest of the program’s recent success. There are other goals to meet. “I really didn’t even think about it until the beginning of the year and didn’t think about it again until last week, when coach [Goodale] said I was pretty close,” Winston said. “It’s kind of over with, and I’m focused on the what I can fix and what I can get better at.” For updates on the Rutgers wrestling team, follow Bradly Derechailo on Twitter @BradlyDTargum.

DEFEAT Defensive effort, eight Bearcat blocks limit Rutgers assists, scoring effort CONTINUED FROM BACK guard conference in the nation. Kilpatrick did not have his best shooting night — he went 5-for-13 from the floor — but found a way to get into the scoring column, finishing with 19 points. But his contributions were not limited to scoring. He ranked second on the team with six rebounds and chipped in four assists and two steals. On the defensive end, Bearcat forward Justin Jackson allowed little room for the Knights to drive to the basket, reaching six blocks in the contest. As a team, Cincinnati ranks sixth in the nation in blocked shots with 6.7 per game. Center Cheikh Mbodj added two blocks to bring the team total to eight.

As for Rutgers’ offense, its three sophomore guards — Eli Carter, Myles Mack and Jerome Seagears — all scored in double figures, but received little help from the rest of the team. Mack paced the team with 15 points while Carter and Seagears both scored 11. But no other Knight totaled more than four points. Rutgers also did little to combat its third-highest turnover total of the season, dishing out only eight assists as a team. The Knights missed a chance at possibly the most winnable of a current three-game stretch, as it now returns home to take on Louisville and follows that with a matchup against Georgetown.

Third Bronx event provides experience for RU BY ERIC DIMETROSKY CONTRIBUTING WRITER

The Rutgers men’s track and field team participates in the New Balance Invitational this weekend in the Bronx. This is the Scarlet Knights’ third straight event in the Bronx, and the young team looks to carr y over momentum from last week’s second-place finish at the Metropolitan Championships. The Knights have improved as the season has progressed, and many of the athletes have become

more comfortable with college level competition. A strong and experienced jumping group starting with seniors Kevin Bostick and Adam Bergo leading the Knights. Bostick was recently named the Big East Men’s Field Performer of the Week, after winning two events at the Metropolitan Championships. The runners for the Knights have also improved and have high expectations in the upcoming meet. The New Balance Invitational is part of the Armory Collegiate Invitational, an enormous track and field event.

More than 100 universities and colleges participate in the 12-yearold competition spanning two days. Other Big East teams competing include Villanova, Georgetown, Syracuse and Cincinnati. Some of the top track and field programs in the countr y will be competing as well, including Louisiana State, Arkansas and Texas. Rutgers will not be the best team in the Bronx, but is certainly capable of having a respectable performance. As a compliment to strong jumping performances, the Knights’

throwers have also been performing particularly strongly of late. It starts with senior James Plummer, who has won the shot put in three straight events. The Knights’ distance runners are also coming into their own, and hope for more improvement at the New Balance Invitational this week. Many of Rutgers’ rivals will be there, which provides even more motivation for the already hungry team. The high-level event also helps many young athletes who are still trying to polish off their skills at the college level gain great experience.

Thus far, the youthful Knights have risen to the challenge and performed well, but they will see much stronger teams this weekend. In addition to the challenging teams who will be on hand, there will also be unfamiliar programs in the field. Colleges from Ireland, France, Puerto Rico and Canada will all be there, something the Knights have not yet seen. The New Balance Invitational will be a very different event than the Knights have competed in, but should be a very good learning experience for a growing team.

Rutgers fixes offense, issues with forwards

Turnovers sink RU in road defeat BY JOEY GREGORY

ASSOCIATE SPORTS EDITOR

The Rutgers men’s basketball team entered last night’s contest with Cincinnati knowing it was about to begin the toughest stretch of its schedule this season. Now the Scarlet Knights are even more desperate for a win after dropping the game against the Bearcats, 62-54. Eclipsing the 20-turnover mark did not help their case. Despite coming out on top in the two other games in which it exceeded 20 turnovers — games against Iona and UAB — Rutgers (12-8, 3-6) could not repeat the feat. But then again, that comes as no surprise considering the Knights were not paired with an out-of-conference foe. Instead, it was No. 24 Cincinnati (17-4, 5-3), which turned those giveaways into 18 points. That meant rather than emerging with a win that neared double digits, Rutgers watched as its 10-point lead evaporated in the second half. Much of that is thanks to Bearcats guard Sean Kilpatrick, who further proved head coach Mike Rice’s point. Following Sunday’s loss to Connecticut, Rice called the Big East the best

The Rutgers women’s basketball team had a myriad of problems to fix last night in Milwaukee against Marquette. The Scarlet Knights were underperforming on the offensive end, and their point guard situation was still unsettled. But arguably worse than all those problems was that Rutgers could not buy a win on the road, sporting a 2-7 record. Its only road win was on a neutral site at Madison Square Garden, but the Knights can now say they beat a team on its home court after last night’s 72-54 victory against the Golden Eagles. Fortunately for Rutgers, part of its frontcourt and point guard situation solved itself, at least for one game. Rutgers (12-8, 3-4) entered Milwaukee without a true identity, as the frontcourt tandem of senior forwards Monique Oliver and Chelsey Lee had yet to materialize. While Lee spent most of the game on the bench with foul trouble, Oliver took off. Oliver paced the Knights in scoring after previously struggling to score in a stretch when she played through a bruised ankle. On the other hand, it only took Lee eight minutes to total four more, and head coach C. Vivian Stringer never let her back in the game. The Knights also lacked a proven point guard in the combination of sophomores Syessence Davis and Shakena Richardson. This is still a longterm problem for the Knights that will require greater consistency. But the tandem put together a solid combined performance against the Golden Eagles (10-10, 2-5). Davis filled the stat sheet with six points, five rebounds, four assists and two steals. Richardson scored only seven points, but they came on consecutive possessions to bridge Rutgers’ lead in the second half. At the end of the first half, Marquette held a 29-28 lead, and Rutgers was in jeopardy of adding another road loss. Marquette took a 29-24 lead with 2:03 left in the first half before Davis and freshman guard Kahleah Copper both made baskets to close the period. Rutgers entered the game with offensive issues. Its season reached a low point with Sunday’s 45-42 loss to Seton Hall, as Rutgers shot 33.3 percent from the field. The Knights improved to 54 percent shooting against Marquette.

Hundredth victory shows team’s rise BY BRADLY DERECHAILO CORRESPONDENT

On a bench outside of the Rutgers wrestling team’s practice gym Tuesday, Scott Winston sat patiently as the rest of his teammates joked around before practice. The senior 157-pounder was thinking of an honest answer to how he felt about his 100th he earned Friday at West Virginia. While 100 wins at the college level might be a goal for some, Winston has greater aspirations. “It’s not that big of a deal,” Winston said. “I’m proud of it, but it is what it is. If I make AllAmerican status that would be a lot more.” Winston is one of two seniors to reach the landmark, as 184-pounder Dan Rinaldi delivered an 18-5 major decision Jan. 20 against Harvard’s Josh Popple for No. 100.

Rinaldi and Winston were only the 12th and 13th grapplers to accomplish the feat, respectively, in Rutgers history, but senior 174-pounder Greg Zannetti said it is not obvious they joined the elite club by all the work they still put in. “It’s their hard work nonstop and just their ability to keep going after it,” Zannetti said of their work ethic. “They are two of the best wrestlers in the country, but you wouldn’t know it by their attitudes.” Both Rinaldi and Winston have bigger plans, as both look to finish with AllAmerican acclaim at the end of the season. Winston lost last season in the NCAA Tournament wrestling at 165 pounds, while Rinaldi did so competing at 197 pounds. SEE
