U. developers create Targum mobile app BY SHAWN SMITH CORRESPONDENT
A new mobile application for The Daily Targum is now available for iPhone users and will soon be available for Android users. Readers of the University’s newspaper are able to read articles, view pictures and now use a search feature in the app, said Nis Frome, co-organizer of Rutgers Mobile App Development. RuMAD works on projects for the local community and has grown to become one of the largest and most active app design meet ups on the East Coast, Frome said. Students interested in computer science who wanted to put their knowledge of app design into practical use started the group about a year and a half ago. Frome, a Rutgers Business School junior, said the publication approached RuMAD asking to update the previous app to something more tailored to the needs of the paper. “We were approached by the Targum business office, and they asked us if we could design a new app for them,” he said. “We told them we could and went from there. They wanted to shift, and bring Targum to the readers.” Ashley Magno, business manager of Targum Publishing Company, said the older app did not cater to students’ needs. When deciding to update the app, the paper felt they should work with University students instead of an outside company. Kenneth Bambridge, a junior developer for RuMAD, said the new app takes elements the design team liked from other publications’ apps and combines them for the Targum app. “A lot of news apps have been made before. We looked at other apps that we found in the app store SEE

Fifth annual Rutgers Day draws record crowd BY HANNAH SCHROER AND JUSTINA OTERO CORRESPONDENTS
A record crowd of 83,000 people attended the fifth annual Rutgers Day Saturday. Participants could enjoy more than 500 different programs and activities from on campus organizations and departments. As a part of the larger celebration, Ag Field Day was held on the Cook and Douglass campuses, featuring the annual New Jersey Folk Festival, a dog show and other events closely tied into the School of Environmental and Biological Sciences.

— such as Habitat for Humanity, the ROTC Color Guard and the Rutgers University Swing Dancing Team — marched to the beat of the University Marching Band down College Avenue toward Voorhees Mall. Anyone at Rutgers Day could show their Jersey pride on Voorhees Mall with the Depar tment of Oral Histor y Archives by giving a 10 to 15 minute inter view about their experiences with Hurricane Sandy, said Kyle Downey, staff member in the department. “We are just recording people’s stories about Sandy, about what happened, what is going on now, where they were during the storm and how they handled it,” Downey said. “We’re just trying to get a glimpse of the lives of New Jersey residents during the storm.” Nick Molnar, assistant director in the Department of Oral History Archives, said they would send the
collection to the Barnegat Bay Decoy & Baymen’s Museum for a future exhibit. “We joined because we like to work with community groups and they approached us since we had one of the largest oral history collections in New Jersey,” he said. “They inquired about how to do some of these oral histories so we helped them out, provided some of the resources.” The University is also leading in their sustainability efforts, said Dave Dehart, associate director of Environmental Ser vices, who aimed to highlight the University’s initiatives. “Today was our second Zero Waste Rutgers Day and we composted 1.7 tons of material last year and recycled 5.15 tons of material that we sent to the landfill so we are hoping for another successful event this year,” Dehart said. For the students finishing their college career this May,
Christopher Retzko, manager of Special Events and Programs, gathered students to record a final “thank you” message that will be played before the start of their commencement ceremony. “We’ve been doing this every year since 2011,” he said. “We wanted to give the students an opportunity to say ‘thank you’ to the people that have supported them and also to make the ceremony more fun, more enjoyable.” AT&T Inc. also made an appearance as a part of their tour to encourage young adults against texting and driving, which included a virtual simulation. Those interested were asked to send text messages with goggles connected to a steering wheel, brake and gas pedals. The virtual reality allowed students to experience firsthand the dangers that SEE

The Inside Out Project has spread across the globe, bringing art to the people at locales from Times Square to Pakistan to the North Pole. Now students from the Mason Gross School of the Arts are bringing it to the University. Students in the Department of Theater pasted photos of themselves on the side of the Levin Theatre building on Douglass campus, giving the depar tment and its students a stronger sense of community.
“We are a group that wants to take on an identity,” said Eliza Brennessel, an administrator of the project. “We want to embrace the community that we have now.” The work is a part of the Inside Out Project — a worldwide art collaboration aimed at embracing communities such as the impoverished or school communities, said Brennessel, a Mason Gross School of the Arts sophomore. In Mason Gross School of the Arts’ Professor Christopher Cartmill’s “Global Theater” class, students watched a 2011 TED conference talk from the founder of the

project, French artist J. R., said Allegra Epstein, an administrator of the project. “Our global theater class changed the views of ever yone in this program about how we view theater and how it’s different all over the globe,” said Epstein, a Mason Gross School of the Arts sophomore. The project has helped to bring a sense of community and school pride to the Mason Gross School of the Arts and sparked a lot of excitement from the community, Epstein said. SEE

ABOUT THE DAILY TARGUM
RECOGNITION
The Daily Targum is a student-written and student-managed, nonprofit incorporated newspaper published by the Targum Publishing Company, circulation 18,000. The Daily Targum (USPS949240) is published Monday through Friday in New Brunswick, N.J. while classes are in session during the fall and spring semesters. No part thereof may be reproduced in any form, in whole or in part, without consent of the managing editor.
For years, the Targum has been among the most prestigious newspapers in the country. Last year, these awards included placing first in the Associated Collegiate Press National College Newspaper Convention Best of Show award category for four-year daily newspapers.
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

One year ago, a few fed-up students asked the Rutgers University Student Assembly to endorse their alternative to overpriced bookstore textbooks, the startup company RU Selling. RU Selling is a website that allows students to post information about textbooks they are buying or selling and meet up with fellow students in University safe zones to exchange cash for the books. Gerald Witherspoon, chief communications officer at RU Selling, said the project is still in its infancy stage. Nonetheless, the year-old company has decided to donate some profits to New Brunswick food pantry Elijah’s Promise, which works to alleviate hunger locally. RU Selling wanted to keep the endeavor University-centric, said Witherspoon, a School of Arts and Sciences senior. “We want to keep affiliated with the community,” he said. “We came to a decision early April to go with Elijah’s Promise, as it is embedded within the New Brunswick community.” Witherspoon said while RU Selling is a for-profit company, it still donates 10 percent of its 30 percent service fee to charity. “Let’s say you buy a book for $50,” Witherspoon said. “We take $5, and we donate $1.50 to Elijah’s Promise, and [RU Selling] gets $3.50.”

Witherspoon said their structure is made up mostly of first-year students and sophomores. RU Selling hosted a charity barbeque yesterday afternoon at Sonny Werblin Recreation Center on Busch campus and members from Elijah’s Promise were at the barbeque, selling Tshirts to raise money. Although Witherspoon chose Elijah’s Promise as the recipient of part of RU Selling’s profits, he invited representatives of the More and Me Foundation to co-host the barbeque and raise funds and awareness for their cause. Olive Henries, the University chapter coordinator for More Than Me, said the organization’s mission is to empower at-risk Liberian girls through education. According to an information sheet from Henries, the organization offers girls a free education, free school lunch and a weekly visit from a guidance counselor who encourages the girls to stay in school. “The organization currently funds tuition fees and provides after-school programs and counseling for at-risk girls in West Point Liberia, a poverty-stricken area,” said Henries, a School of Arts and Sciences junior. Henries said last year, the foundation won a $1.25 million grant from the Chase American Giving Award, which is being used to fund the opening of an academy later this year.
“Our goal is to have 100 plus girls in schools and off the streets,” she said. Rutgers University Student Assembly President Pavel Sokolov said he is happy to see that RU Selling gives students a cheaper alternative for buying textbooks. “RUSA obviously supports alternative ways for students to buy textbooks because they’re very expensive, and if RU Selling exists to donate its profits to Elijah’s Promise, we greatly support those endeavors as well,” said Sokolov, a Rutgers Business School junior. He said RUSA is not able to financially support RU Selling because the company is a for-profit organization, but the assembly does support what the organization is doing. “We are sadly unable to use our resources specifically [for] financial contributions to for-profit organizations,” Sokolov said. He said that non-profit student organizations need funding from RUSA, so it wouldn’t be fair to give to a company like RU Selling. “Textbooks prices are always outrageous,” he said. “We support any alternative to buying $300 books every year.” All the same, Witherspoon said the company does not want to compete with bookstores such as NJ Books or Barnes & Noble, but instead would offer students an alternative. He said RU Selling plans to set up tables around campus to promote the site sometime in the future.

They make a shirt, so they are able to express how they are feeling,” Smith said. “Some find it as a cleansing.” Outside of Rutgers Day, Smith said every September the office displays 300 T-shirts on Voorhees Mall as part of a national awareness campaign. She said the campaign is meant to spread the word about the issue as well as their offices and the services they provide. Rutgers Recreational Services showed off their collection of three-dimensional “R”s, each created by a different department in the University.

Energetic drum beats of traditional Garifuna music danced across the Eagleton lawn on Douglass campus Saturday at the New Jersey Folk Festival. Thousands of attendees walked the folk marketplace streets, perused blown glass decorations and intricate walking sticks and purchased festival fare. A performance artist breathed fire and juggled knives in front of the Gateway tent, where Department of Women’s and Gender Studies assistant professor Sylvia Chan-Malik read children’s stories. The festival celebrates a different culture in the region every year. This year featured the Garifuna culture, a unique culture of Carib-Arawak and West African descent, festival manager Gabrielle Rossi said. Rossi, a School of Arts and Sciences junior, said communities of Garifuna people live in New Jersey, the Bronx and other regions of the United States. The Garifuna people are one of more than 120 cultures found in New Jersey. “We’re not going to repeat a festival theme until we celebrate them all,” Rossi said. The Garifuna music at the festival represented the second phase of Garifuna history as it survived in Central America, but the stor y began before, said Ambassador Camillo Gonsalves, permanent representative to the
United Nations for Saint Vincent and the Grenadines. The inhabitants of Saint Vincent rescued survivors from a slave-ship crash in the 17th centur y, accepting them into the community as brothers and adopting elements of West African dance and cuisine, Gonsalves said. “The two peoples slowly became one,” he said. Gonsalves said the rescue was a miracle that led the Garifuna people to where they are today. Had the slave ship crashed one mile in any direction around Saint Vincent, all the men would have been recaptured. But British colonists saw the Garifuna people as a primitive race, not understanding why they were content to live by fishing and hunting without clearing the lands for agriculture, he said. The empire claimed the 100,000 acres of land on Saint Vincent and attempted to seize control of the island, but they were repelled by the Garifuna people and forced to sign a peace treaty that split the territory in half, he said. “The planters complained bitterly … and quickly began efforts to breach the boundaries,” he said. Gonsalves said the British encroachment led to a second war, which ended with a British victor y. The British exiled half of the Garifuna people to

APRIL 29, 2013 Roatán Island of f the coast of Honduras. “The sur vivors subsisted on raw cassava and root crops that were moistened and salted by their own sweat in the oppressive heat of the ships’ cargo holds,” he said. Gonsalves said the Garifuna people have fought wars, endured genocide and exile but managed to survive in Central and North America. “From those 4,000 sur vivors of unspeakable genocide, there are now more than 200,000 people of Garifuna descent in the world,” he said. “Today, the Garifuna nation is numerically stronger than it has ever been before, and that is another miracle.” The festival’s executive director, Angus Kress Gillespie, presented a Lifetime Achievement Award to Rev. George Ramon Castillo, who worked with prison activism for years and wrote a book on his experience helping prisoners and their families. Castillo said he was the second black chaplain with the Federal Bureau of Prisons when he was hired in 1973. Though he retired 20 years ago, he is still hardworking. As times change, ministries to those in need also change, but the call to help never goes away, he said. “Although I am only 82 years old, my Christian service has not ended,” he said. The Festival is the only such event in the country managed entirely by undergraduate students, Rossi said. Student planners take a course through the Department of American Studies that teaches them the histor y of the year’s theme culture and heavily gears toward preparing the festival, she said. Fellow students often joke that ensuring the festival goes smoothly is the class’s final project, Rossi said. The Festival was originally a Douglass College event but grew and became incorporated with Ag Field Day, she said. Rossi said the experience of organizing and managing the festival makes her feel as though she is giving back to her roots while connecting to the University’s wider, global reach. “It’s definitely the most unique and rewarding part of my undergraduate career,” Rossi said. Beverley Hahn, a 1984 Cook College alumna, said the dog show has been at Ag Field Day since the mid ’80s.

Competitors tried to win a state award after moving on from individual county competitions, Murarik said. The dog show allows competitors to see different perspectives on dogs and what they can do, she said. While some competitors go on to show dogs at higher levels, others just enjoy the social aspect of meeting new people and dogs, she said.
EQUINE TREADMILL More than 70 people crowded into the Equine Science Lab Saturday for a demonstration of the University’s super-sized equine treadmill. Two Standardbred mares, Maggie and Snowdrift, waited in their stalls for a chance to run. Maggie, a bay mare, came from the Standardbred retirement foundation, which takes in retired brood mares and racehorses, said Carey Williams, an associate extension specialist in the Depar tment of Animal Sciences. Student researchers led the mare onto the treadmill and switched her lead ropes. They hooked a strap hanging from the ceiling to Maggie’s surcingle, a padded strap belted just behind the front legs, so she would not fall if she tripped. “It’s an emergency shutoff,” Williams said. “[I’ve] never actually had to use it, but it’s nice to know that it’s there.” Williams commanded Maggie to walk and started the treadmill at a slow pace to let the mare warm up. Maggie walked faster, moving into a trot and, finally, a gallop as Williams increased the speed.

Pulling into a stride comfortable for the speed, Maggie galloped at 28 miles per hour on the treadmill before Williams slowed the pace again. Williams said it takes several days to weeks to train the mares to respond to the treadmill. “Some horses, like Snowdrift, only took us three days,” she said. “She was really, really

The high-speed treadmill transformed the way the lab went about research, said Kenneth McKeever, associate director of research for the center. Before the treadmill, researchers had to do experiments in the field and were unable to take many of the measurements that have since furthered their research, he said.

quick to take to the treadmill.” Other mares take longer to get used to the idea of the floor moving while their surroundings remain still. It takes time for the mares to stop leaning against the sides of the treadmill and realize they can walk on the machine, she said. Karyn Malinowski, director of the Equine Science Center, said people sometimes ask why the
we’re crazy about horses here,” Malinowski said. “Ever ything we do is for the wellbeing of the horse.” Malinowski said the lab influences state policy decisions affecting horses, ensuring that decisions are made based on facts. The lab also conducts aging research on horses and also explores the impor tance of equine in human medicine.
“You can’t draw blood samples while that horse is running,” he said. McKeever said the treadmill enables scientists to measure horses in a controlled environment so they can catch information such as oxygen uptake into the bloodstream. “This is a great tool that has revolutionized the field,” he said.
DOG SHOW The competition, which began as an addition to the University’s veterinary science dog show, is open to all 4-H clubs in New Jersey that deal with dog care for Seeing Eye projects, she said. 4-H members and their dogs can compete in a variety of categories, including obedience, showmanship and agility, she said. “Kids spend so much time being told what to do,” she said. “It’s a real interesting role reversal for a kid to be a teacher for a change.” Hahn said 4-H clubs teach children to have fun while learning responsibility and life skills such as leadership and bookkeeping.

DEVELOPERS RuMAD projects about 3,000 Apple downloads per year CONTINUED FROM FRONT and modeled this one off them,” said Bambridge, a School of Engineering first-year student. The new app is designed specifically for the Targum, he said. Before starting work on it, the design had to be approved by the Targum’s business office. Frome said Targum staff selected all the apps that were looked at, and were involved in the design process to ensure their satisfaction. The older application was a generaluse app, and just had Targum information fed into it. “A lot of people are grateful and wondering why it hasn’t been done before,” Frome said. “People find it simple and fast, and I think a lot of people may move to this exclusively. It lets them get the news they want really quick, as opposed to the paper.” When designing the app, Bambridge said RuMAD had to come up with two versions. The first laid out the design, but was slow pulling information from the Targum website. The app gets the story information from the Rich Site Summary feed, Bambridge said. If the data pulled from the feed were too large, it would cause the app to crash. This version also had problems with formatting text. RuMAD lead developer, Will Langford, came up with a solu-
tion and created a server to store the information. Langford, a School of Arts and Sciences junior, said he wanted to come up with a way of getting around having to pull the information directly from the Targum website. The idea was to put the weight on another platform, where it could be pulled from and republished. The server acted as an intermediary, pulling data from the

site and reformatting it the way the app needed, Frome said. The first version of the app took about a week to complete, the second version took about two weeks. The app has received positive reviews, he said. Feedback has been good, and people who use the app like the interface. While the app currently has over 100 downloads in the Apple App Store, RuMAD projects that it will net about 3,000 downloads per year.
Skylar Frederick, acting editor-in-chief of The Daily Targum, said the mobile app ensures the paper reaches students on every level possible. Students are always on their phones and the app makes it easier for them to stay connected to the University. Frederick, a School of Arts and Sciences sophomore, said the older app was very basic, while the new app is interactive and up-to-date. “Stories now refresh when you pull the screen down,” she said. “[Readers] can also now send an e-mail right from the app. You can send in sports and news tips, or contact the business office.” Magno, a School of Arts and Sciences senior, said the Targum plans to continue to work with the developers and add features. “We are eventually looking to add a University calendar,” she said. “A person could then open the app and see what is going on at the University.” Recently, he said RuMAD won the award of “Number 1 Club on Campus” by a reverse career fair. Companies competing in programming competitions flew the founding students of RuMAD around the nation. Magno said she hopes students will download the app and stay connected with the University and The Daily Targum. “People don’t pick up the paper like they used to. Now, everyone is on [his or her] iPhone and Droid. They can get news on the go,” she said. “This is the easiest way to stay in touch with us and the University, and it’s right at your fingertips.” The Android app will hopefully be available for download by the end of this week, Frome said.

Students powerful enough to create necessary changes COMMUNITY MATTERS SAM BERMAN
T
he Board of Governors met April 25 to hold a public hearing on tuition rates that students will pay to attend the University next fall. One of two governing boards at the University, the eleven Governors are responsible for setting that tuition each year — the April 25 meeting was to be the single meeting during the school year which would be open to the public. Thirty or so students rallied on the steps of Brower immediately before the hearing began. Students showed up to the hearing itself in rather large numbers, and many students gave emotional testimony to the deleterious effects of ever-rising tuition rates. After all, it’s rare for the Board of Governors to assemble with the express purpose of hearing what students have to say on some given issue. Turns out it’s so rare, in fact, that it looks like it just won’t happen this year.
Oh, the hearing was held April 25, as planned. But the only member of the Board of Governors to show up was Ralph Izzo, chairman of the Board. Let me repeat that again. The Board of Governors held their public hearing on tuition April 25, and out of the hundred or so people in the room, only a single individual was actually a member of the Board of Governors. I don’t know exactly how the BOG works, but I would assume that 1 out of 11 does not count as quorum, chair though he may be. A full 90 percent of the members of the highest governing board at the University were conspicuously absent — not arriving late, not leaving early, simply not there — at their public hearing, even as students showed up en masse to express our displeasure at the prospect of yet another large increase in tuition. With all due thanks to Izzo for showing up, I, for one, take the rest of the BOG’s absence as a sign of disrespect from that body. My father raised me to apologize to someone when I disrespect him — I wonder if the Board of Governors will show such consideration. I doubt it.
No surprise, perhaps. For someone who has spent two years involved in shared governance at this institution, I sure can shock myself at times with my naivety. Of course the Board of Governors doesn’t care about what we have to say. Of course the administration doesn’t care what we have to say. Why bother showing up to these things? Why bother trying to change anything? Indeed, it is perhaps likely the Board of Governors has already decided the cost of the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey merger — a merger which students didn’t ask for, which politicians on both sides of the aisle in Trenton forced on us — is so high that tuition increases will be necessary to pay for them. University President Robert L. Barchi has said he won’t put the one-time cost of the merger on the backs of students. Fine. What about the hundreds of millions of dollars that the University is going to absorb from UMDNJ? How will that affect our tuition? But as discouraged as I was April 25, I think that’s the wrong attitude. Students had a strong impact two years ago on the outcome of the University budget process. By rallying and organizing months in
advance, students were able to achieve the lowest budget increase in decades. Adjusted for inflation, it was a tuition cut in real dollars. The persistence of students this year may well get 24-hour study spaces and voter registration as part of the movein process. The Rutgers University Student Assembly partnered with Student Life to help students whose food stores were lost when Hurricane Sandy struck to replenish their supplies. Outdated parking meters all along College Avenue were replaced with meters that can accept credit cards. And 100 students showed up to the Board of Governors hearing April 25, and probably twice that many signed petitions protesting student debt, despite students only planning this push about a week in advance. With the final decision on tuition not made until the summer, there is plenty of time to rally and make our voices heard, even if the Board of Governors insists on making it difficult for us.

Discriminatory policies do not reflect Boy Scout values COMMENTARY SCOTT SINCOFF
T
he Boy Scouts of America passed a resolution last week to be voted on in May stating the national organization will accept gay Scouts but not gay Scout leaders. It is a step in the right direction, but is it really fair to say to an openly gay, 18-year-old man that recently obtained his Eagle rank, “Congrats on your Eagle Scout, but now you are banned for life”? It’s not fair because it is an act of discrimination. The fight to repeal the BSA’s ban on gay Scout leaders is not about an individual’s sexual orientation, it is about teaching millions of American youth that it is not right to discriminate against a person based on what religion they believe in, who they love or the color of their skin. The Boy Scouts’ ban also goes against many tenets that many Scouts, including myself, believe in. For example, the BSA’s
slogan is, “to do a good turn daily.” By stat- their oath to live to their highest moral ing this in their handbook, the organization character as a Boy Scout? In the Scout Law, tenets describing how expects their members to lead upstanding deeds of character to all people who are in people should act at all times are stated by need. For hundreds of thousands of Scouts the Scouts to display their dedication toward their indiwho are scared to vidual values and be open because of morals — docthe ban, this would “Scouting was, in fact, one of trines that Scouts be the national the most important things state are to be organization’s friendly, courteous, good turn. that shaped my personal kind, helpful and Another signifimorals, values and code brave — among cant message of other things.

Within the Scout Oath, Scouts state these ethical beliefs, it is not okay for the the following phrase before every single organization to explain to the general memScouting activity — “To help other people bership that one group of people has to be at all times.” This phrase means that exempt from living by the code of just being Scouts, at all times, shall help all individuals an overall good person.

in Central New Jersey have helped me become who I am. But it is not right to the people who are not allowed to become Eagle Scouts or the parents who are banned chaperoning their son’s camping trip solely because of who they love. No one should be discriminated against, especially by an organization that teaches hundreds of thousands of young men how to live with a sense of morals and character each and ever y day. The Boy Scouts of America needs to take their own advice and “Be Prepared,” because the times are changing and everyone should be allowed to become an outstanding individual through the teachings of the Scouting movement. We are all equal.

Column arguments dangerous and ill-informed COMMENTARY NICHOLAS HANSEN
E
d Reep’s April 22 column “Men are the oppressed gender” is laughable at best and dangerous at worst. Let’s go argument by argument to see exactly why. His first claim is that homemaking is pretty easy and that women can choose to be homemakers or go into traditionally male fields of work. This is wrong on several levels. First, homemaking is not easy. It is unpaid — it involves long hours and no weekends. Secondly, if women choose to go into traditionally male fields, they are almost invariably paid less than their equally educated and experienced male colleagues. Thirdly, men can have a family with little effect on their professional lives, whereas our society makes balancing
career and family an exceptionally difficult thing for women to do. Next, he discusses war, noting how men are almost always the ones conscripted. He goes so far as to say that this amounted to a “holocaust for the male gender.” Again, this is wrong on several levels. First, “holocaust” is a specifically Jewish term, and to take it out of its Jewish context is wrong and has been repeatedly condemned by historians. Secondly, while the soldiers’ deaths are obviously tragic, the murder of civilians — as occurred in the Nazi Holocaust — is worse. Thirdly, World War I was the result of the poor policy decisions men made. Fourthly, and most importantly, is a response to his argument that there’s no comparable disaster for Western women. What about gender violence? What about the fact that in this supposedly female-dominated world, fully 20 percent of women in college will be raped?
What about the fact that 54 percent of women who are raped will not report it? If you add up all the women killed in incidents of gender violence and all female civilians killed in World War I, I’m sure the number will be higher than the male soldiers who died. Reep’s third point, about the seeking of romantic partners is also silly. The reason women are taught, culturally, to be the passive members in romantic exchanges is patriarchal: women are supposed to be passive. While it may be desirable for women to be more active romantic partners, this pales in comparison to the sexual violence they are likely to face. Reep then goes on to note that oppression is about the misery of the oppressed, so men are the more oppressed gender even though men are overwhelmingly in power. This reflects a fundamental misunderstanding of the word “oppressed.” In any relationship in which there is an
oppressed, there has to be an oppressor by definition. However, he writes, “It is cultures that perpetrate gender oppression.” I would agree wholeheartedly. The cultural atmosphere is one in which women are overwhelmingly victimized. Take a look at Barbie dolls, whose proportions are so ridiculous that if a woman actually had them, she would probably die in a matter of weeks. The real problem with Reep’s article is that it misses the point. There are a very few areas in which men actually face discrimination — family court is an example. He should’ve used his platform to discuss that. Instead, he wrote a column so oblivious that many are under the impression that it’s satire. I, and many others, eagerly await his apology.

Landrith serves up three total homeruns against Red Storm
Harmon gets drafted in third despite no invite to combine
CONTINUED FROM BACK
CONTINUED FROM BACK
“You have confidence when the top of your lineup is coming up. You think you can score,” Nelson said. “I won’t feel any different next week if we’re in the same situation. I think we’re going to hit the ball and we’re going to score runs.” Sophomore lefthander Alyssa Landrith could not keep up on the other side, surrendering two homeruns to shortstop Chrissy Montez. Landrith (14-14) left after five innings with four earned runs. Montez leads the Big East with 15 homeruns, but Landrith has also shown a recent tendency to serve up long balls. The Vacaville, Calif., native has allowed 25 homeruns this season — nine more than all of last season, with 26 fewer innings pitched. It is not something that concerns Nelson, though. “It’s just something that we need to work on,” he said. “We need to keep the ball out of hitters’ power zones … The second homerun to Montez was an 0-2 pitch. That was a definite mistake, because our 0-2 pitch is supposed to be outside where they can’t reach it.” Rutgers’ lone victory on the weekend came in the second game of Saturday’s doubleheader. Freshman righthander Dresden Maddox (9-6) turned in five-and-one-third solid innings of work, allowing only one run as the Knights captured a 5-1 win to snap a six-game conference skid. But it was not secured until the top of the seventh, when Rutgers strung together four hits to tack on three pivotal insurance runs in a 2-1 game. Landrith closed the door in the bottom of the inning for her third save of the year. Righthander Francesca Carrullo (0-6) took the loss. “[Carrullo] was very similar to [Free],” Nelson said. “She elevated the ball a little bit more, and so we got more pitches to hit.” The opening game marked the first dual between Landrith and Free, when the Red Storm ace again got the better of Rutgers’ top pitcher in a 2-0 St. John’s win. A stalemate contest remained tied into the ninth. With runners on second and third, Rutgers grounded out twice to third to squander its best scoring opportunity of the game. In the bottom of the frame, designated hitter Dominique Marcelino hit a walkoff two-run homerun to give the Red Storm the win. But Nelson insists Landrith has nothing to be ashamed of. “If your pitcher shuts out a team for regulation, you’re supposed to win that game, especially against a pitcher that had a three ERA going into the game,” Nelson said. “I think [Free] is a good pitcher. I don’t think she’s a world beater. I think she had our number [yesterday]. It was a bad matchup for us, but you’ve got to give her credit.”
Tim Wright (Oakland Raiders) and Brandon Jones (Patriots). As of now, four more former Knights will be Patriots next year. They join Devin McCourty and Justin Francis. Ryan and Harmon will both have a chance at starting initially because of the Patriots’ thin secondary. It would be quite a jump for Harmon, who was a possibility to go undrafted. The 6-foot, 196pounder ended last season with 36 tackles and one interception. NFLDraftScout.com ranked Harmon as only the 413th-best overall player in the draft. Ryan was the first Knight selected after being one of two entering the draft early along with Jamison. He finished second on the Knights last year with 94 tackles and four interceptions.

Greene joins a Bears linebacker unit from which Brian Urlacher recently retired. He is experienced on the weakside, where Lance Briggs plays. Briggs was selected in 2003 in the third round — 68th overall — only one round earlier than Greene. Since then, Briggs has been named All-Pro three times and made seven Pro Bowls. NFLDraftScout.com ranked Greene the ninth-best outside linebacker in the draft, listing him as a late-second rounder at best and a fourth rounder at the worst. Greene, since moving from safety, has thrived in his two years at linebacker, winning Big East Defensive Player of the Year both seasons. His newness to the position gives him even greater room for improvement in the NFL. Jamison declared with two more years of eligibility after he said NFL officials gave him a third-round grade.

APRIL 29, 2013 MEN’S LACROSSE GEORGETOWN 15, RUTGERS 7
RU drops Senior Day game for 12th straight loss BY JIM MOONEY STAFF WRITER
The Rutgers men’s lacrosse team dropped its final game of the season Saturday to Georgetown, 15-7. The loss was the team’s 12th consecutive, as the Scarlet Knights finished winless in conference play. It was also their 16th consecutive loss to Georgetown (6-8, 3-3). The Knights (2-13, 0-6) entered the fourth quarter trailing, 14-4, but could not muster any offense until the late stages of the quarter. Freshman attack Ryan Hollingsworth scored two goals in a row for Rutgers following a Hoyas goal with 5:54 left in regulation. Freshman attack Scott Bieda and sophomore midfielder Joseph Nardella were credited with assists. After scoring only two goals in the first half of play, the Knights opened up the second half in a big way. Junior midfielder Matt Klimchak found the back of the net to begin the scoring in the second half off a feed from junior attack Scott Klimchak. Scott Klimchak followed his brother’s lead and scored his second goal of the game a little more than a minute later to bridge the Hoyas’ lead to 10-4. That would be as close as Rutgers would get to the Hoyas in the second half, as Georgetown put together a four-goal run to close out the third quarter. Despite allowing 14 goals in the contest, freshman goalie Kris
PROGRESS Prince shifts offense by making it forget last year’s identity CONTINUED FROM BACK That theme resonated with Rutgers, as its scrimmage pointed to possible signs of better days to come. For the Rutgers of fense, coordinator Ron Prince has made this spring about letting go of darker days. “Every time I said, ‘we did this last year,’ he said, ‘forget about last year,’” Nova said. “He wants to totally forget about it, start off anew … and we’re just working together, and I think it’s going great so far.” Much of the Scarlet offense’s success came from facing defenders low on the depth chart and the lack of intricate defenses in the scrimmage. But junior r unning back Savon Huggins’ 68 yards off 16 carries gives head coach Kyle Flood’s faith in the St. Peter’s (N.J.) Prep product a little more merit. “I think we’re going to see Savon Huggins [start], and behind Savon I think we’re going to see [sophomore] P.J. James and [redshirt freshman] Desmon Peoples are both going to get opportunities to run the football,” Flood said of the beginning of next training camp.
Junior attack Scott Klimchak led the Knights with two goals and an assist Saturday against Georgetown. But the effort was not enough, as the Hoyas used 10 first-half goals to pull away from Rutgers and win, 15-7. TIAN LI, STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER Alleyne made 21 saves — the second-best single-game total of his career. Nardella won 12 of 24 faceoffs, including a perfect fourth quarter when the sophomore captured all five faceoffs. The second quar ter went much like the first quar ter, with Georgetown controlling
most of the period until junior defenseman Andrew Parilla scored a goal with a man-down to stop a 6-0 run that began in the first quar ter. Rutgers was hurt by an unnecessar y roughness penalty charged to junior defenseman Nick Contino. The penalty resulted in two
It was not so much Huggins’ numbers — after all, he ran for 179 yards Nov. 17 against a tougher Cincinnati defense — but his ability to adjust from past spring struggles that was telling. Huggins’ style of powering through defenders has bought him injuries and few chances to prove consistent in his first two years. He ended last year with 3.4 yards per rush, missing three games. It also kept him at or behind the line of scrimmage on most of his runs in April 20’s scrimmage. Huggins instead combined powering with caution, which allowed him to dodge defenders. He said finding a healthy balance in opposite styles is the key. “You want to power through guys, but you have to be smart running at the same time,” Huggins said. “If ever ybody’s coming on you, you have to go down. You can’t be [taking hits] all the time. That’s how you get hurt. So you have to be a smart runner at times.” Peoples, meanwhile, rushed for negative seven yards of f eight carries and lost a fumble that redshir t freshman cornerback Ian Thomas returned for a touchdown. Peoples was named Rutgers’ Most Improved Of fensive Player for spring practice Saturday, but training camp will tell how wide the gap is between him and Huggins. With passes from the hands of Nova and senior quarterback Chas Dodd, several wide receivers displayed promising glimpses.
Junior wideout Miles Shuler dropped an early touchdown pass, but his 51-yard reception in the third quarter from Dodd was a sign of his potential. Senior wide receiver Quron Pratt also scored 26- and 25-yard touchdowns in the first half, which helped the Scarlet team take a 17-0 lead with 9:22 left in the second quarter. Nova called Pratt the Knights’ best route runner earlier this spring, but their connection muffled last season. Pratt said he improved this spring on forgetting about bad plays. His worst last year was a 26-yard pass he fumbled Oct. 22 in Rutgers’ first loss last year against Kent State. Cor nerback Sidney Saulter scooped the ball up and abr uptly stole any potential Rutgers momentum. The Knights further put that darkness behind them Saturday, which Nova especially needed. Now for Nova and Rutgers, it is about improving before training camp. “[Nova] needs to come back to training camp a better athlete and a better quarterback and a better football player and a better leader than he is today,” Flood said, “or we didn’t do a good enough job as a program in the summer program.” For updates on the Rutgers football team, follow Josh Bakan on Twitter @JoshBakan.

man-up goals for the Hoyas before adding one evenstrength goal with four seconds left in the quarter to make it 102 entering halftime. Georgetown wasted little time taking the lead, scoring two goals in the first two minutes of the game, including one goal with a man-up.
The Knights would get on the board a few minutes later when Scott Klimchak found the back of the net of f an assist from Bieda, the first of two assists. Following the Scott Klimchak goal, the Hoyas would end the quarter on a 3-0 scoring run to increase the lead to 5-1.

Redshirt freshman recognized for improvement BY BRADLY DERECHAILO ASSOCIATE SPORTS EDITOR
With the ball on the turf after a fumble in the Rutgers football team’s spring game Saturday, it was only appropriate Ian Thomas was there to recover it. The redshirt freshman cornerback scooped up the loose fumble and ran 24 yards for the touchdown, extending the team’s lead to 24-0. “Today was a good day, today was a very good day,” Thomas said after the Scarlet team’s 57-19 win against the White team. “Everything felt good and the ball just went into my hands. I just picked it up and ran into the end zone.” For Thomas, the touchdown capped off arguably the most impressive spring performance for any Scarlet Knight, as the Baltimore native impressed in practice after practice during the spring. And Thomas has done so working out at a new position, as he entered the program last year as a three-star wide receiver, according to Rivals.com. His efforts at his new position resulted in head coach Kyle Flood naming him the most improved defensive player. Flood said at halftime of the spring game that Thomas still has work to do in order to see time next season. But as far as making the transition to a new position, he has impressed.
“There is always a learning curve that is involved and there are going to be some mental challenges to playing that position by whoever comes over from offense,” Flood said. “Ian has come in and worked really hard and has minimized those.” Flood named redshirt freshman running back Desmon Peoples the most improved offensive player and said sophomore offensive linemen Keith Lumpkin and Marquise Wright were also up for consideration for the award. Senior defensive end Marcus Thompson was named the Frank R. Burns Award winner, given annually to the toughest player during spring workouts. But the most obvious improvement has come courtesy of Thomas, who led the Scarlet team with four tackles in the spring game to go along with his fumble recover y for a touchdown. His ascent up the depth chart comes at the right time for Rutgers as it continues to fill holes in the secondary created by the departure of three starters from last season’s team. Former Knights Logan Ryan, Duron Harmon and Marcus Cooper were all drafted this weekend, while Brandon Jones was signed by the New England Patriots as an undrafted free agent. Though there is still plenty of work left for Thomas, Flood said he is pleased with his efforts.
But Flood also expected it. “I can’t tell you that I’m shocked by it,” Flood said. “Ian is a very talented football player and I think I saw enough in our bowl preparation practices that I was confident that in time he would be able to help us over there. In my mind he is a little bit ahead of schedule.”

receiver Brandon Coleman out as he continues to rehab from offseason knee surgery, the rest of Rutgers’ receiving corps was able to receive more looks in the spring game. Seven players on the Scarlet team had two or more catches, including four each from senior wideout Quron Pratt and redshirt freshman wideout Ruhann Peele. Pratt hauled in two touchdowns from junior quarterback Gary Nova, with a 26-yard strike down the middle of the field giving the Scarlet team a 17-0 lead. Peele also played well, as he turned his four receptions into 50 receiving yards. Sophomore wideout Leonte Carroo and sophomore tight end Tyler Kroft also had a touchdown reception for the Scarlet team. Redshirt freshman wideout Carlton Agudosi had a 32-yard first-down reception for the white team. The wideouts’ performance gives Nova more confidence, he said. “None of them surprise me,” Nova said. “Guys like Ruhann

[Peele] and Carlton [Agudosi], we knew what those guys can do by just watching them on scout team last season. Those guys are going to be special players. They just have to digest this playbook, which is not easy to do. But these guys are smart kids and are going to work everyday.”
Rutgers played along with the kids, as Nova and senior quarterback Chas Dodd tossed passes. “It felt good to watch them,” Thomas said. “Those kids have had a bad experience with Hurricane Sandy and for them to get out here and play, it felt good to watch them play in front of thousands of fans.”
WITH FIVE MINUTES LEFT IN the fourth quarter, 16 children affected by Hurricane Sandy played flag football, with their touchdowns affecting the overall score of the spring game.

FOOTBALL PATRIOTS SELECT RYAN, HARMON IN THIRD ROUND
FOOTBALL
Record seven Knights drafted BY JOSH BAKAN SPORTS EDITOR
The Rutgers football team broke a program record with seven players selected this weekend in the NFL Draft. It began in the third round, when the New England Patriots drafted cornerback Logan Ryan (83rd overall) and safety Duron Harmon (91). For linebackers Khaseem Greene and Steve Beauharnais and running back Jawan Jamison, the wait to hear their names called was longer than they might have expected. The Chicago Bears selected Greene on Saturday in the fourth round (117), as the former captain was pegged to go as high as a Day 2 Friday selection. Jamison (228) and Beauharnais (235) waited until the seventh round to get called, with selections from the Washington Redskins and New England, respectively. Tight end D.C. Jefferson (219) and cornerback Marcus Cooper (252) were also drafted in the final round, respectively going to the Arizona Cardinals and the San Francisco 49ers. The Scarlet Knights also broke a record Februar y with six invitees to the NFL Combine — Ryan, Greene, Jefferson, Jamison, Beauharnais and wide receiver Mark Harrison. Harrison was the only one undrafted. Harmon and Cooper heard their names even without a combine invite. The draft results left Harrison and several of Rutgers’ seniors from last year as available free agents. Harrison (Chicago) and three other former Knights signed as undrafted free agents, including offensive lineman R.J. Dill (Jacksonville Jaguars), wide receiver SEE
