Concert advocates communal bond ALEX MEIER ASSOCIATE NEWS EDITOR
A woman’s subtle homophobic comment inspired musician Pat Humphries to create a song that set an atmosphere of encouragement for yesterday’s Tyler Clementi Foundation benefit concert. “A woman said ‘I don’t have a problem with you being a lesbian, but what do I tell my children?’” Humphries said. Struggling to find a way to interpret the comment, Humphries channeled her feelings into her song “People Love,” which uses music to transform that moment of homophobia into a light-hearted message about vulnerable sexual identities and the call to love. As way to call the University community to love all of its members, the Rutgers Protestant Campus Ministries, the Tyler Clementi Foundation, the Center for
Social Justice and LGBT Communities, Canterbur y House and The Episcopal Campus Ministry, among others, collaborated to sponsor the concert, said Rev. Patty Fox, chaplain of the Rutgers Protestant Campus Ministries. The Tyler Clementi Foundation, created by Tyler Clementi’s parents and brother, addresses issues of bullying. Fox said she commends the bravery of his family. Clementi was a University student who committed suicide in 2010 after his roommate used a webcam to view Clementi kissing another man, and shared it with his friends. “It takes tremendous courage to turn a tragedy into a teaching moment, and this is a very strong teaching moment for us to be part of,” Fox said. Fox reached out to Emma’s Revolution, the activist musical duo comprised of Humphries and her partner Sandy O as a means for the
ministry to become involved in service opportunities and reach out to the community, she said. “Let’s make this a special concert,” she said. “Let’s do this with a special emphasis on the work of the Tyler Clementi Foundation.” As progressive artists, Sandy O said she and Humphries give people a way to connect with one another and address issues that affect everyone, such as war, the environment and human rights. “When something tragic happens, some people just want to pull away and say ‘oh, that has nothing to do with me,’” Sandy O said. “It’s all about community, and the only way that these campuses are going to become safer … is when people feel like it’s up to each of us to do our part.” Humphries said their band has no specific agenda, as their music brings people together on different SEE

Professor analyzes role of ethnicity in business BY SHAWN SMITH CORRESPONDENT
The three largest groups of people to immigrate to the U.S. in 2010 were Chinese, Mexican and Indian, said Alejandro Portes, a professor of sociology at Princeton University. Portes gave a talk at the Institute for Health, Health Care Policy and Aging Research yesterday on his research, which is based on the relationship between immigration and entrepreneurship, including survival strategies for immigrants. David Mechanic, director at IHHCPAR, said Portes has made many contributions to understanding sociology. “I have taught many students in my career, and [Portes] has always been at the top,” he said. Portes said the advent of transnationalism, the increasingly international focus of economics, has given the public an interesting angle to examine the topic with. Historians and sociologists have marshaled a large body of evidence indicating that past as well as present entrepreneurial minorities have been economically successful, he said. He said rational economic actors would not work more hours if it were not profitable. Studies found entrepreneurs are well educated with knowledge about the country they live in. “Those who are fluent in English correlate with economic
success,” he said. “Males have also had a different perspective, because they make use of labor from family members.” Ethnic entrepreneurship is usually a family affair, Portes said. In 2010, self-employment for white males between the ages of 26 and 55 was 13.6 percent, he said. The number is halved for blacks, at 6.2 percent. Israelis were the highest group, at 34 percent, followed by Koreans at 27 percent. The lowest groups were Mexicans at 10 percent, and Dominicans at 9 percent, Portes said. These numbers were also reflected in yearly salary figures for those who were selfemployed, he said. White males made $67,001, while blacks made $42,263. Mexicans made the lowest figure at $28,945, Por tes said. Israelis made the most at $90,319. The most persuasive theory pairs business skills brought from the person’s home country with positive, or at least neutral reception, he said. When a group of immigrant workers consist of low-skill laborers, they usually receive negative reception. “Walk around [New Brunswick], all the businesses have been built for the community,” he said. “You have a laboratory right at your doorstep.” SEE

Artist shares work from Russia SABRINA SZTEINBAUM CONTRIBUTING WRITER
In St. Petersburg, Russia, formerly known as Leningrad, schools did not teach photography, let alone consider it a fine art. Opportunities for photographers in the United States did not exist in Leningrad, where Dmitry Vilensky began curating exhibitions. He also practiced his passion despite the amateur connotation in Russia.
Vilensky gave his lecture “Photography, Film, and Political Narration: A Discussion with Dmitry Vilensky” yesterday in Murray Hall on the College Avenue campus. Corina Apostol, who organized this event, said Vilensky came to the United States in 1992 when New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts invited him to show some of his work in an exhibition. “He came here … and he wanted to discover Western photogra-
phers,” Apostol said. “He wrote a lot about being inspired by people like Minor White and a lot of masters of photography.” Some of the Soviet photography that Vilensky saw during his time in the U.S. inspired him to create opportunities for photographers in St. Petersburg to exhibit their work, she said. She introduced Vilensky’s latest work, called “Chto Delat?” or

Professor looks at crime rates, affordable housing BY VAISHALI GAUBA STAFF WRITER
With affordable housing, crime rates drop and economic independence rises. Douglas S. Massey, the Henry G. Bryant professor of Sociology and Public Affairs at Princeton University, was invited to be the keynote speaker for the fourth and final conference in the 2012-2013 Sawyer Seminars on Race, Place and Space in the Americas. The conference, held in the Alexander Library yesterday, was themed “Cities, Towns and Suburbs.” Hosted by the Center of Race and Ethnicity at Rutgers, the conference is funded by the Mellon Foundation Sawyer Seminar Program, which organizes the series of intellectual conferences. Massey spoke about the historical background concerning the “Underclass Debate” of the early 1980s. The period, which witnessed speculation about the welfare of the underclass, or those living in perpetual poverty, saw a subsequent increase in crime rates in the U.S. “Poverty was becoming more entrenched, crime rates were rising and the result was the explosion of literature on the underclass,” Massey said. He said two different schools of thought presented their ideas on the

When asked how the speech can help students and faculty at the University, Jahaira Arias, a graduate assistant at CRE said she feels the lecture series is helpful to all University members. “It provides a place for scholars, faculty or even students in the field of interdisciplinar y sciences, to come together,” said Arias, a graduate student. “[They can] have intellectual conversations, or [conduct] research.”

BOND Concert gives exposure for campus ministries CONTINUED FROM FRONT issues, and acknowledges that any group can work together to fight through oppression. “It’s not necessary for us all to be in our separate corners around these issues, and we have a lot to bring to one another’s struggles,” he said. “We have a lot to bring to one another’s celebrations.” Although the concert addressed serious social issues, Humphries said her work aims to understand the importance of celebration, just like the band’s namesake Emma Goldman, a fierce defender of the right to free speech, the rights of women and the rights of workers. One day when Goldman was dancing, a colleague said her actions were inconsistent with her image as an activist and scholar “She said ‘ever yone has the right to freedom of expression, to beautiful radiant things,’ but it went down through histor y as her having said ‘if I can’t dance, I don’t want to be a part of your revolution’ Sandy O said Emma’s Revolution shows are always upbeat and humorous. “It’s a great fit for the Tyler Clementi Foundation because of Tyler’s love of music,” she said. “I think I feel good about
bringing some more music back for him.” The concert also served as a way for the Protestant Campus Ministries to gain exposure, Fox said. Four students who work on staff as peer ministers have been discussing ways to let the University know that not all Christian organizations are homophobic. “In fact, we have sort of unofficially dubbed ourselves ‘the radically inclusive Christian community,’” she said. “Because that’s really what needs to be made known to the campus — that there’s a place.” In this sense, the ministry opens its doors as a place for students to discuss doubts, ask questions, talk about experiences and figure out a purpose in the world — especially since many, like Tyler Clementi, do not feel like they have a safe space, Fox said. “I think that was one of the most excruciating things about Tyler’s stor y is that on this huge campus with psychological ser vices, and counseling and chaplains, there was no one that he knew he could talk to, apparently, and that’s not acceptable,” she said. Sandy O said the group unique tries to turn bystanders into upstanders. “In a situation with a bully, there’s a bully, there’s a victim, and there’s the bystander,” she said. “They said that there’s often somebody there, someone who doesn’t know how to take action.”

RUSSIA Authorities wanted to censor photos to encourage socialism CONTINUED FROM FRONT “What is to be Done?” It is a collective Vilensky co-founded with artists, writers and philosophers from St. Petersburg, Moscow and England. “It’s an international collective [that] focuses a lot on past traditions with emancipator y potential,” Apostol said. She started off by showing two of Vilensky’s ver y early photographs, and said his early works were melancholic, personal and subjective. Jane Sharp, associate professor in the Department of Art Histor y, said Russia has a tradition of amateur photography. Both Vilensky’s father and grandfather were involved in photography. He said when small, independent photography studios became popular, the government controlled them. Vilensky talked about how authorities in Soviet Russia wanted to censor photographs to encourage socialism. He pointed to one of his photographs from the early1980s that depicted a particular shabby-looking wall. He knew this photograph could not be in an exhibition, because the wall did not represent communist ideals. “It doesn’t look [like] a socialist reality, it looks much more like capitalism,” Vilensky said. He talked about the differences between Moscow and St. Petersburg, and how those differences af fected photographers and their abilities to express themselves through their work. “Moscow was always much more liberal than [St.] Petersburg,” he said.
Vilensky said in Moscow, people had easier access to libraries and books. Apostol said in the early 1990s, Vilensky created a space where groups of unofficial photographers exhibited their work and networked with each other. “They did solo shows, and they invited not only St. Petersburg photographers, but also photographers from abroad,” she said. The discussion quickly shifted to the feminist movement in Russia, which was an emerging discourse at the time. Apostol brought up Galina Moskaleva, who was from Belarus and worked in the Baltics and later Moscow. “It was embraced in the U.S., but in Russia it was still considered something foreign,” she said. “Her position was that feminism is something for her that was ver y U.S. based. … And she said that she was happy to participate in feminist shows and in other exhibitions as well.” Sharp asked about the amount of women photographers in Russia when Vilensky worked there, as well as whether gender was examined in the world of photography. Although she had not heard about Russian women involved in photography in the ‘80s and ‘90s, she said that does not mean they were not active. Apostol said in St. Petersburg, most catalogs and exhibitions feature the works of men. “It’s ver y kind of jarring to see, because compared to here, you wouldn’t have a show on mostly guys,” she said. Vilensky said the issue is a ver y complicated one. “Right now, I am teaching ver y often. … And 99 percent [of students] are female,” he said. Apostol said Vilensky is exhibiting internationally in countries such as Russia, Germany and Poland.

US demands amnesty for sentenced Korean-American
NEW BASKETBALL COACH BUSY
WASHINGTON — The U.S. called yesterday for Nor th Korea to grant amnesty and immediately release a KoreanAmerican sentenced to 15 years’ hard labor for “hostile acts” against the state. Kenneth Bae, 44, a Washington state man described by friends as a devout Christian and a tour operator, is at least the sixth American detained in Nor th Korea since 2009. The others eventually were depor ted or released without ser ving out their terms, some after trips to Pyongyang by prominent Americans, including former presidents Bill Clinton and Jimmy Car ter. Analysts say Bae’s sentencing could be an ef for t by Pyongyang to win diplomatic concessions in the ongoing standof f over its nuclear program. But there was no immediate sign a high-profile envoy was about to make a clemency mission to the isolated nation which has taken an increasingly confrontational stance under its young leader Kim Jong Un. State Depar tment spokesman Patrick Ventrell said the U.S. was still seeking to learn the facts of Bae’s case. He said the Swedish Embassy in Pyongyang, which handles consular matters there for the U.S., did not attend Tuesday’s Supreme Cour t trial and that there hasn’t been transparency in the legal proceedings. “There’s no greater priority for us than the welfare and safety of U.S. citizens abroad, and we urge the DPRK authori-
NEWARK, N.J. — When new head men’s basketball coach Eddie Jordan spoke at a dinner of Rutgers’ basketball boosters the other night, there was a disposable razor in his jacket pocket.

Since taking over the scandal-marred basketball program a week ago Tuesday, life has been nonstop for the 58-yearold Jordan.
CHRISTIE SIGNS BILL TO HELP PREVENT DRUG OVERDOSE DEATHS PATERSON, N.J. (AP) — New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie was joined by Jon Bon Jovi as he signed into law a bill intended to help prevent drug overdose deaths. The Republican governor held the bill-signing ceremony Thursday at a drug rehabilitation center in the northern New Jersey city of Paterson. The new state law shields from prosecution overdose victims and others who might be in violation of the law when seeking medical help for them.

Patrick Cronin, a senior analyst with the Washington-based Center for a New American Security, called Bae’s conviction “a hasty gambit to force a direct dialogue with the United States.” “While Washington will do ever ything possible to spare an innocent American from years of hard labor, U.S. of ficials are aware that in all likelihood the Nor th Korean regime wants a meeting to demonstrate that the United States in ef fect con-

Tensions have escalated since it conducted its third nuclear test since 2006 in Februar y.

fers legitimacy on the Nor th’s nuclear-weapon-state status,” Cronin said in an email. White House spokesman Jay Carney told repor ters traveling aboard Air Force One en route to Mexico that if Nor th Korea is interested in discussion, they should live up to their obligations under the sixpar ty talks. “Thus far, as you know, they have flouted their obligations, engaged in provocative actions and rhetoric that brings them no closer to a situation where they can improve the lot of the Nor th Korean people or reenter the community of nations,” Carney said. The state-run Korean Central News Agency announcement of
Bae’s sentencing came just days after it reported Saturday that authorities would soon indict and tr y him. It referred to Bae as Pae Jun Ho, the Nor th Korean spelling for his Korean name. The State Depar tment had appealed Monday for his release on humanitarian grounds. Bae, from L ynnwood, Wash., was arrested in early November in Rason, a special economic zone in Nor th Korea’s far nor theaster n region bordering China and Russia, state media said. The exact nature of Bae’s alleged crimes has not been revealed. “Kenneth Bae had no access to a lawyer. It is not even known what he was charged with,” the human rights group Amnesty International said in a statement. “Kenneth Bae should be released, unless he is charged with an inter nationally recognizable criminal of fense and retried by a competent, independent and impar tial cour t.” Ventrell said the Swedish embassy’s most recent access to Bae was last Friday. It has only had a handful of brief oppor tunities to see him since he was arrested in early November, according to U.S. of ficials. Friends and colleagues say Bae was based in the Chinese border city of Dalian and traveled frequently to Nor th Korea to feed orphans. Bae’s mother in the United States did not answer calls seeking comment yesterday. — The Associated Press

We’re ecstatic about how successful this year’s Rutgers Day has been! The family affair drew a recordbreaking crowd of 83,000 people, and we’ve never seen so much scarlet in one place in our lives. We’re especially happy about the fact that children affected by Hurricane Sandy played touch football with our University football stars in the middle of the stadium and in front of thousands of onlookers. It was not only a good day for the University, but also one for New Jersey. Big laurel.

To be put through the agony of impatience and uncertainty to hear the final verdict should be considered cruel and unusual punishment. Give us a break this year, huh?
When there’s great weather during the day, the University students come out to play … and bring along all the noise that comes with them. Is it just us, or has College Avenue noise pollution amplified in recent weeks? We get it, it’s nice out, lots of laughter and music and such is required. But this dart is a reminder that everyone needs to be more mindful of the people actually trying to work! They already have it bad enough as it is by missing the great weather.
SPOTLESS STREETS Project Move Out is back on the move as we all dive headfirst into the moving process and try not to get trampled by it. The project aims to reduce bulk waste on the streets of New Brunswick, as off-campus students begin dumping all their crap onto the sidewalks in a hurry to start their summers at home or abroad. This laurel goes to a great initiative helping prevent further pollution of our proud city.

A SANDY SALUTE Sandy Hook, one of the many New Jersey beaches that was ravaged by Hurricane Sandy, reopened to the public Wednesday. With the entire state recuperating from the natural disaster and all the damage it left behind over the past several months, it’s encouraging to see one of the affected areas revive itself. The state economy could definitely use it. This laurel goes to moving forward.
SIRS: STOP SPAMMING Okay, can we all mutually agree that the Student Instructional Rating Survey emails are really annoying? We got the first one — cool, now they can stop. None of us are jumping with excitement at opening our inboxes and finding them taking up the entire first page, nor does that compel us to want to fill them out. Plus, are the surveys even used for anything, anyway? Do away with them! Dart.

ell, here it goes — time for my attempt at the obligator y farewell column. As I soon venture out from the protection of the college bubble and into the real world, I have two and a half weeks left to say my goodbyes and tie up loose ends. First, I have to acknowledge everyone who has made writing this column as great an experience as it has been. Thank you to the entire Daily Targum staff for your hard work and dedication — I am proud to call myself a part of our incredible daily University newspaper. Thanks especially to Chase Brush, my first Opinions editor, who initially gave me the opportunity to write this column throughout my senior year. Finally, and most importantly, a huge thank you to the readers who willingly read my columns and provided praise and constructive criticism alike. Without the readers, a columnist is just an irritating writer with a large ego (I may be that anyway.)

Columnist in dire need of fact-check COMMENTARY CAITLIN GILVARY
I
recently read the “Men are the oppressed gender” article in The Daily Targum, and I felt as if it would be a fatal mistake for me not to respond. Upon my first reading of it I thought — as apparently many did — that it must be satire. I mean, seriously? Unless we’re publishing scraps of Tucker Max’s private diar y or the most upvoted Fedora Guy’s posts on Reddit, this has to be ironic. Unfortunately for me, as the popularity of the article grew, several of my friends brought it to my attention and I could no longer play ostrich with my head in the books — it is the end of the semester, after all — and I had to say something. So, here it is. To the author: You’re wrong. There are no two ways about it. Now, that’s not to say you’re a bad person. I’m sure that you’re a nice guy. You’re probably a fine young chap, and I’m sure years from now when you work up the courage you’ll be able to ask out that perfect lady. But, there are more inconsistencies and flaws in your piece than there are pronouns. In the ar ticle, the author boldly asserts what so many privileged men before him could never say — men got it bad. And they do! It’s hard out here
for a pimp. But, so bad that they’ve got it worse than us ladies? C’mon, ladies is pimps too! The author should buckle up, because we’re going on a fact-finding mission. The Oxford English Dictionar y definition of the word “oppression” is “prolonged cruel or unjust treatment or exercise of authority, control, or power.” So, no, oppression is not “fundamentally about the miser y of the victims, not their power.” If that were true, ever y
"Examples of men having it rough are direct results of the patriarchy. Women were homemakers ... because men put them there. The private sphere? You can have it.” four teen-year-old suburban kid with divorced parents would be the poster child of oppression. You can’t quantify miser y, and I am certainly not going to compare scars with you, but even if you could, it wouldn’t carr y any weight. The bottom line is that in 2013, women hold just 18.3 percent of the 535 U.S. Congress seats. Now, I’m not a math major (women studies, actually) but I’m pretty sure that 18 percent is not a majority. And without a majority, it
would seem pretty unlikely that women would have the “authority, control, or power” to oppress men. Just sayin’. You see, the problem with your argument — besides the fact that you make blatantly sexist assertions with no statistical evidence — is that all of your examples of men having it rough are direct results of the patriarchy. Women were homemakers for so long because men put them there. The private sphere? You can have it. That fact that men went to war and left women at home (not to do nothing, mind you — check out the riveters of World War II) is not an argument against women. It’s an argument against war. Obviously, it sucks that men are discouraged from doing what they want in life, whether that be staying at home with their kids or becoming a nurse — which by the way is a pretty awesome career path. But, it isn’t women forcing men away from those positions with some sort of rabid sense of possession. The strict gender roles that you’ve been forced into that dictate male equals masculine equals these jobs, attitudes, etc., are all products of the patriarchy. This system we live in is unfair. And you’re right — it’s even unfair to you. But, it’s not women who made it this way. Caitlyn Gilvary is a School of Ar ts and Sciences sophomore majoring in women’s and gender studies and English.
probably avoid getting a meal plan. Regardless of how effective you may be at obtaining free food, looking for places to nab a free meal will allow you to discover many new opportunities on campus. Build a legacy at the University. Like many New Jerseyans’ views toward their home state, many University students have an irrational inferiority complex about their academic home. The University was chartered in 1766 as Queen’s College and is the eighth-oldest college in the United States. Embrace your colonial roots, learn about your University’s traditions, and forge your own legacy to adds to our rich history. Be proud about where you go to school, and do something special and unique to show your pride. You never know who will take notice and honor your efforts. Again, thank you so much to everyone who has made this column a reality. And thank you to everyone who has made my four years on the banks unforgettable. See you further on up the road.

HOMESTAND Hill schedules game against St. Peter’s for midweek action Sophomore defender Hollie DiMuro led the Knights defense this season with 40 groundballs and 25 caused turnovers. TIAN LI, STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER
STARTERS Kalata’s absence will force young goalies to earn experience next year CONTINUED FROM BACK “We’re losing a couple of seniors, that’s going to have an impact on us,” Martinelli said. “But we have a lot of starters coming back, the freshman class is a great class, and our whole [junior] class is coming back.” A trio of freshman attackers began to show their potential this season to help balance the attack. Attack Halley Barnes, one of the Knights’ more promising younger players, displayed her ability to score this season as she found the back of the net 18 times. A number of early-season injuries allowed midfielder Chrissy Schreiber and attack Kim Kolodny to gain experience in early action. That included a knee injury to senior midfielder Stephanie Anderson, who went down against Temple Feb. 20 and missed the rest of the season While injuries did nothing to help the team, especially in conference play, Brand-Sias said it will benefit the offense going forward as they have already learned to adjust. While some younger players stepped up, Rutgers will still have to deal with the loss of some major contributors to graduation. It will be without the production of senior attack Annie McGinley. Despite battling the effects of a severe knee injur y suffered early in her collegiate career, McGinley was the team’s third-leading scorer with 22 points. But in losing one of their main contributors on offense, the Knights will have another back on the active roster. Junior midfielder Lauren Sbrilli, who redshirted this season because of injury, ranked second on the team in 2011 with 33 goals. “She was our offensive leader in the fall,” Brand-Sias said. “She probably was one of the most
powerful, effective offensive players we had all fall season. Having her back is going to make a huge difference.” On the defensive side, Rutgers will adjust to life without Lily Kalata. The senior goalkeeper has started each game in net for the past four seasons and was the ninth-ranked goalkeeper in the nation this season with an average of eight goals per game allowed. But the Knights maintain two goalies on the roster. “We have two outstanding options in [sophomore] Candace Dandridge and [sophomore] Amanda Currell,” Brand-Sias said, “so they’re going to have a very healthy competition from day one in the fall.” Currell led Moorestown (N.J.) High School to a 26-0 season and a No. 2 national ranking in 2012. Dandridge was a twosport athlete at West Cherr y Hill (N.J.) High School. She started three years of lacrosse and field hockey. Whoever gets the nod in goal next season will have the benefit of standing behind an elite defense. Rutgers finished the season ranked sixth in the nation in scoring defense. While Kalata played a major role in the feat, the chemistr y of its upperclassmen defenders was arguably the team’s greatest strength. “This team has a lot of potential, most of our starters are in the junior class,” Kalata said. “Losing me I think will teach them a lot, so that when I leave, they’re able to stay pretty strong. They just need to get a goalkeeper in there and I really think they’re going to do extremely well.” Redshir t sophomore defender Hollie DiMuro was a standout among a highly consistent defense. She paced the team in caused turnovers and groundballs.
CONTINUED FROM BACK The Knights have done well with that this far, but Hill knows theses are crucial times. “It’s very crucial,” Hill said. “If we don’t do well, we’re not going to be in Florida. That’s our first goal — to get into the playoffs. Once you’re in the playoffs, anything can happen… We just want to get into the playoffs and then it’s up to us from there.” While Rutgers controls its own destiny, it also has to deal with its recent poor performances. The Knights struggled at the plate Wednesday with the Blue Hens, as Delaware righthander Dan Gotto allowed just five hits in a complete game effort.
But in Tuesday’s 10-9 loss against Hofstra, Rutgers produced nine runs against the Pride. Junior righthander Slater McCue believes the Knights just need to play like he knows it is capable of. “I think we just need to keep hitting,” McCue said. “Obviously, we proved [Tuesday against Hofstra] we could do well, we just need to pitch well and have everything kind of time up and just click.” Usually Rutgers is able to rebound during weekend play because it gets to use its topthree starters. But senior righthander Tyler Gebler will continue to sit out because of injury, which will bump senior righthander Charlie Law into the No. 2 spot in the rotation. Senior lefthander Rob Corsi will start in game three. Senior righthander Rob Smorol will go in Game 1. Smorol (4-4) pitched five-andtwo-thirds innings in his last start against Oklahoma St. last Friday, a 4-1 loss to the Cowboys.
He allowed just six hits, but four runs crossed the plate while Smorol pitched. Smorol faces a Connecticut lineup that sits in the middle of the Big East with a .273 batting average. The Huskies begin the Knights’ seven-game homestand, which includes a newly scheduled midweek contest against St. Peters. Law believes the best remedy for Rutgers’ losing streak is to combine the positives from its last two losses. “I feel like if we can put [Wednesday] and [Tuesday]’s game together the way we hit [Tuesday] and the way we pitched [Wednesday], we should have no problems this weekend,” Law said. “There should be no problem for us to win those games.” For updates on the Rutgers baseball team, follow Bradly Derechailo on Twitter @Bradly_D.

FINALE Three wins against Pittsburgh will clinch playoff appearance CONTINUED FROM BACK must stare down the Panthers (1728, 6-13) — also in the hunt for the postseason — in a three-game set beginning with a doubleheader tomorrow at the RU Softball Complex. Rutgers needs at least one win to have a chance at making the playoffs, with several scenarios in play. But winning all three games against the Panthers would leave nothing up to chance. “I think the team is well aware of that. Certainly the coaching staff is,” Nelson said. “You want to be at the top where you don’t have to worry about the last few games, but on the other hand, it’s a good test to prove that we deserve to be there.” Wins this week against Long Island and Lafayette allowed the Knights to relax and regain poise, and they feel they are peaking at the perfect time. But a lingering question that has haunted the Knights down the stretch of their conference schedule remains — how they will they avoid struggling under pressure? “This is important in the sense of what we’ve doing and our goals that we’re trying to accomplish,” Nelson said. “In the overall scheme of things, though, it’s not as important as a lot of other things in life. If you just take it one game at a time, one pitch at a time, and just play it without pressure, you’ll be fine.” And there is little doubt the Knights will come away with a series win if they execute. Rutgers is statistically stronger than Pittsburgh across
the board in hitting, pitching and fielding. The Panthers have lost six of their last seven conference games and own the fourth-worst ERA in the conference. The Knights pitching, meanwhile, is on the upswing. Rutgers’ ace, sophomore lefthander Alyssa Landrith (16-14), tossed eight scoreless innings in two appearances against Long Island and Lafayette. The one concern with her of late had been homeruns, and she thinks she has overcome that. “I had better command with my pitches I think [Wednesday],” Landrith said. “I had really good communication with [freshman catcher] Liz [Adams]. We set batters up right, and I think we’re getting back on track.” Batters are also now providing the pitching staff with more sufficient run support. Sophomore outfielder Jackie Bates has collected six hits and four RBI from the three-hole this week to lead the lineup. She said the Knights have persisted through the frustrations of hitting balls right at fielders in recent action. With all aspects clicking again, Rutgers knows it now just has to go out and seize what it has all worked for all season. “It was a shaky past few games [last week], but the midweek games we had [Wednesday] and the day before really gave us a lot of confidence going into this weekend,” Bates said. “It is a lot of pressure that we have to win it, but as long as stay within themselves, I think we’ll be pretty fine.” For updates on the Rutgers softball team, follow Greg Johnson on Twitter @Greg_P_Johnson.

Recruits add depth for fall season BY AARON FARRAR CORRESPONDENT
Head coach Maura Ballard just completed her 21st year at the helm of the Rutgers women’s golf team. On the men’s side, head coach Rob Shutte wrapped up his second season for the Rutgers men’s golf team. Although coached by individuals with different personalities, the common denominator that will play a huge part in the potential growth or demise of the programs is the amount of young players each team has. The women’s team has an abundance of youth and can use their development to propel the program for ward. On the men’s side, the team faces a similar scenario it encountered at the end of the 2012 spring season. Following Shutte’s first year at the helm, he graduated one senior and retained ever y single player that remained. This year is no different. After senior John Fagan’s departure, the core will be made up of juniors and seniors while also introducing three new faces to the program. “We return with all of this talent,” Shutte said. “We will add
three more players to the freshmen class and they are really talented. Clearly, I am pretty optimistic that depending on how these guys go about their off seasons and their summer play, we should be pretty positive about where we are going to be in the fall.” The Knights have welcomed two California products, Michael Howe and Chase Wheatley, in addition to New Jersey native Ryan Rose to compete in the 2013-2014 season. Boosting the roster to 10 players creates opportunities for more players to have responsibilities to the team. “Looking to the future, having players step up is stupendous,” said junior Doug Walters. “If you just have one guy leading the way, then it is kind of discouraging to see that not everyone else is growing or has the potential to do well.” The Knights look to dive right into action prepared for a strong push in the fall with the return of the veterans and the additions of the acquisitions. “It will be really hard to believe if we take a step backward,” Walters said of the team’s potential for next season. “There is a formula. More competition
should relate to higher expectations, higher results in the long run. It is going to be a competitive atmosphere.” On the other side, the women have a rather unique situation at hand. The returning members of the team will all be sophomores and will need to ser ve as veterans to the few incomers in the fall. “This was my most unique roster given the age dif ferences,” Ballard said. “Having so many freshmen was fun and challenging for us. It kept me on my toes. I had to be engaged ever y moment to make sure the proper message was being received.” The freshmen endured a lot throughout the year, experienced growing pains and had some bright spots. With age comes experience, though, and that is the Knights’ viewpoint entering a fresh year in September. “I am excited about next year,” Ballard said. “The young women are bright, energetic and driven. They have embraced my coaching philosophy, Vision 54. I am sure we will have a ver y successful 2013-14.”

Attackers show promise after losing campaign BY JIM MOONEY STAFF WRITER
Despite its losing record this season, things are looking up for next year’s Rutgers men’s lacrosse team. The Scarlet Knights (2-13, 06) will lose just one starter to graduation, along with the six players not returning to the roster. But a drop in production should not be expected, as many of the projected starters and key role players will return with another year of experience under their belts. But who the head coach of the team will be next season is a myster y. Head coach Brian Brecht was suspended with pay April 19 for alleged verbal abuse of players during practices, and an investigation by the Rutgers University Police Department was ordered and is still ongoing. Regardless of the results of the investigation, the players are in place for this team to succeed and have a turnaround season in 2014. Freshman Kris Allyene was named 2013 Big East Goalkeeper of the Year on Wednesday after averaging 14 saves per game — ranked fourth in the country. Alleyne was also the only freshman to earn First Team All-Big East honors. Sophomore midfielder Joseph Nardella was named Second Team All-Big East this season as a face-off specialist. Nardella was one of the best face-off men in the country and ranked in the top five in all faceoff statistics. Two other players in position to step up next season will be freshman attack Scott Bieda and sophomore attack Brian Goss.
Sophomore midfielder Joseph Nardella, a faceoff specialist, was named Second Team All-Big East honors this season. He ranked among the top-five players in the nation in all faceoff categories. TIAN LI, STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER Bieda shined in his debut season with the Knights and earned a starting spot toward the end of the year. Goss had a solid sophomore campaign and ranked fourth on the team in points and goals with 20 and 13, respectively. The 2014 team will also return a solid group of juniors that will like to improve the team’s record.
This group includes junior attack Scott Klimchak and his twin brother, junior midfielder Matt Klimchak. Scott Klimchak was the team leader in points and goals, while Matt Klimchak returned from an injur y midseason and had a solid finish. Junior midfielder Anthony Terranova could also contribute in his final season.
Terranova had a strong finish to the season, including a two-game stretch where he scored six goals and added two assists during that span. The defense will have to replace Ed Bartleson, but will return the two other key members. Juniors Nick Contino and Andrew Parrilla played well in the second half of the season
after struggling in the first half of the season. If the Knights want to improve next season, they will have to find a way to win close games. The Knights were winless this season in games decided by two goals or less. Another year of experience for this young team could be the remedy, but only time will tell.
MEN’S GOLF WALTERS PLACED FOURTH AT TOWSON INVITATIONAL
Third-place finish highlights RU spring season BY AARON FARRAR CORRESPONDENT
The spring season came to a close Tuesday afternoon for the Rutgers men’s golf team. The Scarlet Knights returned home from Florida after having one of the best scoring outings at the Big East Championship in the past decade. Rutgers can now reflect on its season, and there were signs of a team that has the potential to significantly exceed its current state. The players’ performances in Orlando revealed some fight. “Overall, I am pretty satisfied with the way that we went down there and competed,” said head coach Rob Shutte. “At one point in the final round, we crawled all the way from 10th to sixth or seventh place. We were making a run. It was a good way to finish the year with some very respectful golf.” Rutgers’ best performance of the season came at the conclusion of action April 2 in Maryland. The Knights claimed third place with a team total of 914 at the Whiting Turner Towson Invitational.
Junior captain Doug Walters paced the team with a 224 to finish tied for fourth and garnered all-tournament recognition. The success did not stop there, as two other players joined Walters in the top-20 finishers of the field. Freshman Jonathan Chang and sophomore Jacob Stockl tied for 10th and tied for 18th, respectively. Arguably one of the closest finishes to a tournament title, Rutgers believed that was one of the highlights of the season and it was due to everyone sharing a common goal. “We all want to win,” Walters said. “Coach [Shutte] pushes us to win [and] get that mentality. That is a part of our culture now. That is super encouraging to have the guy right next to you and trust him and say, ‘this is my teammate and we value the same thing: winning.’” A season that started off shaky for the Knights quickly turned around when they managed to deal with the players they had. After placing 18th at the Mission Spring Spectacular Invitational to tee off the season
in March, the team’s following competition was condensed from three days to a one-day, oneround event because of inclement weather conditions. With that series of events and sophomore Hyung Mo Kim’s inability to start the year because of team discipline, it seemed the time to panic. That was the last thing the team did, and they came out strong two weeks later at the Whiting Turner Towson event. “We play the game of golf strictly on integrity,” Walters said. “Every guy on our team values that and values the sport. Everything we do is encouraging because we are taking small steps to large steps.” Before the season finale, Rutgers had one final tune-up as it competed at the Rutherford Intercollegiate Invitational and tied for 11th in the two-day event April 20 and 21, a bit of a disappointment to the team. The Knights now turn their attention to preparing for the fall. Rutgers graduates one senior this year, John Fagan, but retains the rest of the roster and has introduced three new players to the team.

Postseason depends on series finale BY GREG JOHNSON CORRESPONDENT

Key starters return for RU offense BY IAN ERHARD CORRESPONDENT
After ending the season on a four-game losing streak, any positivity surrounding the Rutgers women’s lacrosse team is directed toward its future. With a young attack and an experienced returning defense, the Scarlet Knights have much to look forward to. But their work in the offseason may be the determining factor of the team’s success. “[The players] need to recognize the things they need to change and do a better job of, as do we as a staff,” Brand-Sias said. “[We need to] be prepared to work extremely hard to improve in the areas that we need to improve in and really hit the ground running in the fall.” All signs point to midfielder Katrina Martinelli to lead the offense her senior year, a role she is ready to embrace after scoring a team-leading 47 points this season. Martinelli will not have to carry the offensive pressure on her own, as she will play alongside current-junior midfielder Amanda Trendell and current-junior attack Megan Clements. Both players combined to score 35 goals and have thrived when on the field playing together. SEE

Connecticut begins crucial homestand BY BRADLY DERECHAILO ASSOCIATE SPORTS EDITOR
When Delaware beat the Rutgers’ baseball team Wednesday, it marked the Scarlet Knights’ fifth straight loss that began last Friday against Oklahoma St. Right now is not the best time for a losing streak, and senior catcher Jeff Melillo knows how imperative the next six conference games are for the Knights. “It’s ver y impor tant to get wins in these next two series, but we have to go one game at a time,” Melillo said. “So we have to get one win at a time and improve each game.”
The top eight teams in the conference will advance to the Big East Championships at the end of the month, and right now the Knights are in pretty good standing. Rutgers (20-24, 8-7) sits in fifth place in the Big East standings, with series against Connecticut, Georgetown and South Florida remaining. UConn (27-19, 8-10) will be the Knights’ first, as the Huskies arrive at Bainton Field today for a three-game series. Head coach Fred Hill said the goal with Big East series is to take two out of three each time. SEE

For the Rutgers softball team, it is only fitting a postseason appearance comes down to this weekend with Pittsburgh. A marathon year that began with preseason workouts at the Bubble in January and spanned 53 regular season games is now reduced to just one home series with everything on the line. Through the ebbs and flows of a trying Big East schedule, the Scarlet Knights have stayed within themselves, coming back strong this week to sweep three midweek nonconference games. Rutgers (29-24, 7-12) now sits fourth on the program’s all-time single-season wins list. Two more wins would move it into sole possession of second place, behind only the 1993 club that compiled 34 victories. “Just to be talked about in that sense kind of goes to show how far these girls, these athletes have come,” said head coach Jay Nelson. “They’ve come a long way from a number of years ago before I took over — when the program was 5-43 — to where we are now. It’s a credit to these athletes.” Nostalgia aside, there is much more at stake this weekend. Clinging to the eighth and final spot for the Big East Tournament next week, the Knights
KRIS ALLEYNE won Big East Goalkeeper of the Year on Wendesday, as voted on by the league’s coaches. The freshman placed fourth in the nation with 14 saves per game.
