Students dedicate day to show appreciation for U. employees Organizations on different campuses to offer free coffee, donuts to workers for Rutgers Worker Appreciation Day BY SHAWN SMITH CORRESPONDENT

All over campus, University workers spend their days ensuring that things run smoothly. Whether they are cleaning, driving the buses or ser ving food in the dining halls, one student decided to recognize all that University workers do for the community. Joe Cashin, student representative to the Board of Governors, is determined to thank the people who work hard to help students every day, so he has enlisted some of the largest student organizations at the University to host the first Rutgers Worker Appreciation Day.

Democrat-endorsed campaign to focus on middle class, job creation BY JUSTINA OTERO CORRESPONDENT

About 700 people filled the New Brunswick High School gymnasium Saturday to hear state Sen. Barbara Buono, D-18, announce her plan to challenge Gov. Chris Christie in November’s gubernatorial election. “I am here today to usher in a new era of truth for [New Jersey], to announce that we don’t have to replay the last three years of failed fiscal policies and unwillingness to listen to the will of the people for another four years,” Buono said. Buono said her campaign would reprioritize the middle class and focus on job creation. “Today we bring our time together to put ever yday New Jersey families back in charge of this state we all love,” she said. She said her campaign centers on disproving the ideology that the upper class can increase its wealth by taxing the middle and lower classes and still expect economic growth.

“We are here today to put an end to the philosophy, as tired as it is disproven,” she said. “After more than three years of this governor’s failed economic policy, millions of New Jersey families are suffering, struggling.” She said nearly 10 percent of New Jerseyans are unemployed. The unemployment rate has increased since last year and is two percent higher than the national rate. “That’s why I am here announcing my candidacy for governor of the state of New Jersey. The only way to bring new values to Trenton is to build a grass roots organization,” she said. “County by county, town by town … we will take back our state in November.” Buono said New Jersey cannot afford to progress under Christie, who is in pursuit of his own goals rather than those of the people of New Jersey.

Bloustein dean looks back at city’s economic transformation BY ALEX MEIER

Buono announces run for governor in 2013

The event will take place on the College Avenue, Cook and Livingston campuses from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. today, said Cashin, a School of Arts and Sciences junior. “I think the students should come together to thank the workers here,” he said. “I wanted any organization that wanted to chip in to thank our workers for all that they do.” Monika Juzwiak, a member of the Rutgers United Students Against Sweatshops, said RUSAS has always been in favor of workers’ rights. Last fall they helped end the contract between Adidas and the University because of the sporting goods company’s unfair treatment of workers.

CORRESPONDENT

From its role as a port city and industrial center to its struggles with urban decay and eventual rebirth, New Brunswick has an eventful economic history. This was the message of James W. Hughes, Dean of the Edward J. Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy, during his lecture Friday night, “Exploring the Economic Transformation of New Brunswick.” New Brunswick’s port was originally an economic settlement called Raritan Landing, which spanned both

sides of the Raritan River in 1640, Hughes said at the Bloustein School. Raritan Landing shipped agricultural products on rafts to a break point in Perth Amboy, where goods from the rafts were transported onto sailboats and shipped to other colonies, he said. The settlement also received agricultural tools from Europe through this port. “There were no real roads of any type in 1640 … so to gather any agricultural products from the interior, SEE

Debate team in position to overtake Harvard Grade school students visit University BY NATALIE MIELES CONTRIBUTING WRITER

The Rutgers University Debate Union is just a few tournaments away from stealing Harvard University’s third-place standing in the American Parliamentary Debate Association. RUDU is currently the APDA’s fourth-highest ranked team, followed by Har vard University in third, Brandeis University in second and Yale University in first, said Storey Clayton, RUDU’s coach. The team expected to pass Har vard this past weekend, but wasn’t able to secure the points needed to put them in third. Clayton said he is confident that RUDU will take over their spot within the spring 2013 semester. “We have more depth,” Clayton said. “I’m confident we’ll be able to pass them because we have more debaters that are capable of earning more points.” APDA’s rankings are based on a point-scale system, meaning the University does not need to go

head-to-head against Harvard to defeat them, said Rachel Moon, public relations chair for RUDU. Each school’s debate team is divided into teams of two members, said Moon, a School of Arts and Sciences sophomore. When a pair wins four out of the five debate rounds, they will advance to breaks, which are quar ter finals, and then final rounds, she said. Points are distributed based on the amount of teams each school has in break rounds, she said. Ashley Novak, the debate team’s president, said she is also certain RUDU will pass Harvard’s ranking and hopes this will happen sooner rather than later. Novak, a School of Arts and Sciences junior, said she ranked as the four th best speaker in the North American Debating Championship. The Nor th American Debating Championship only allows elite teams from the United States and Canada to compete in its tournaments, she said. The championship does not count toward the

University’s overall ranking, but stands as a high honor for the debate team’s president. Moon said the University is the only public institution ranked in the top 10 of the APDA. She said she joined the debate team to improve her public speaking skills. “I really want to help Rutgers have the best record,” she said. The University has previously ranked third in the country, but has yet to place in second or first, Moon said. Debate teams at Yale University and Brandeis University rank higher than RUDU, but the University’s team has defeated both teams in December’s Vassar Classic Debate Tournament, Clayton said. RUDU also ranks higher than some Ivy League schools such as Columbia University and Cornell University. Moon said she credits most of the team’s success to Clayton. “Storey’s a huge part of our success because he’s the one who has constantly been giving us recruitment ideas and initiatives,”

Moon said. “He’s always around to give us advice and judge our practice rounds.” Clayton said he became involved with RUDU in 2009 as a volunteer debate coach. The University officially hired him as a senior program administrator in 2011 after RUDU moved from its unranked position to 24th in the nation under his guidance. Moon said the team ranked fifth after the 2010-2011 season and ranked ninth after the 20112012 season. “We are currently fourth and [are] having the best season yet,” Moon said. Novak said her team members and supportive coach make her feel certain that RUDU will take the third place rank away from Harvard University. “It would be amazing to pass them because they have a lot of talented individuals and their school has a better reputation than Rutgers,” Novak said. “It would be great to show that our students are just as talented, if not more, than an Ivy League school like Har vard.”

Onlookers craned their necks Saturday to catch a glimpse of a rare sight at Brower Commons on the College Avenue campus as a group of 75 students excitedly moved en masse into the dining hall. But these students were not from the University. They were fifth through eighth graders from Rise Academy in Newark. The public charter school is a member of the Knowledge is Power Program, a nationwide network of public charter elementary and high schools with one common goal, said Shannon Grande, a seventh grade teacher at Rise Academy. “[Our mission] is to get students to and through college,” Grande said. KIPP sponsors field trips to colleges and universities, so they can give students an idea of what they are striving for, she said.

EMPLOYEES Lucero says students posted thank you notes during Sandy CONTINUED FROM FRONT “We will be giving out coffee and donuts, as well as making thank-you cards and goodie bags to give out to bus drivers and dining hall workers,” said Juzwiak, a Rutgers Business School firstyear student. Cashin said he noticed the University body only seems to come together for a few large events and wants Rutgers Worker Appreciation Day to become one of those events. “I was trying to think of other events other than football games and Dance Marathon that bring the Rutgers community together,” Cashin said. “I don’t see a lot of events that bring students and workers together and I thought this could do that.” Aman Haq, liaison for the Rutgers Business Governing Council, said he was excited when Cashin approached him with the idea. Haq, a Rutgers Business School sophomore, said he recognized the hard work of the University’s staff and decided that they deser ve to receive appreciation from students for at least one day of the year. “It’s not just the bus drivers and people who check us into the dining halls, but it’s also the people we don’t see and can’t thank on a daily basis. We want to show them … that we are grateful for what they do,” Haq said. Justin Lucero, a representative for the Rutgers University Student Assembly, said students saw firsthand the hard work of University staff during Hurricane Sandy.

“We saw them all go above and beyond for the students,” said Lucero, a School of Arts and Sciences first-year student. “During the storm people put thank-you notes on the bulletin boards in Busch. We wanted to continue to have a good relationship with the workers.” Lucero said because the University is a family that includes the staff, students, and faculty, this event is a great way to tell the workers the University community supports them. Anastasia Millicker, public relations chair for the School of Environmental and Biological Sciences Governing Council, said some students thank their bus drivers or the people refilling the napkins in the dining hall, but they could always do more. “Some workers go unappreciated. Every day we should thank them for what they do, but sometimes we may forget,” said Millicker, a School of Environmental and Biological Sciences junior. Millicker said the SEBS Governing Council plans to give out thank you cards on Douglass campus and collect signatures from students for a banner that will hang in Neilson Dining Hall on Douglass campus. Haq said he invites all students to come out and participate, and thank those who make the University a better place. “Come out, come work on a poster or make a thank-you card. It will be a lot of fun and we are all looking forward to it,” he said. “If we make even one worker’s day just a little bit better, our mission is complete.”

GOVERNOR Pallone says Buono’s campaign represents change, responds to people CONTINUED FROM FRONT “Every day, New Jerseyans are wondering the same thing: For all this governor’s YouTube moments and choreographed town halls, for all the national press appearances and magazine covers, what has he actually done to help my family lift itself up from the economic [distress]?” she said. Buono said Christie prioritized Hurricane Sandy issues while letting the problems of the state prior to the storm take a backseat. Despite the need for bipartisan leadership, she said this conditional governance does not suffice when dealing with the state’s long-term problems. “A governor in this state, not only has the responsibility to help families and businesses whose lives were turned upside down by the storm, but also those whose lives were in turmoil before the winds ever [arrived],” she said. Buono said Christie continually gives the people of New Jersey words instead of actions, which is ineffective in solving the state’s problems. “Real leadership means hearing the voices of [others]. … You’ve got nothing — nothing

— but sound bites and empty promises from a governor who seems more intent on courting his right wing base than tending to the needs of the middle class and the working poor,” she said. Rep. Frank Pallone, D-6, also addressed the crowd and said Buono’s campaign represents change because she will respond to the people and grassroots efforts. “She’s a person that cares about the middle class, she comes from a working background, she worked herself through college and through law school,” he said. ”It’s the people of the state of New Jersey who are going to make sure she is elected as our governor this November.” Margarite Anders, a New Br unswick resident who attended the rally, said she is looking for ward to Buono’s campaign because it will bring hope and change to both the state and her town. “I know Buono will serve the people of this state and put them over the politics we are used to seeing,” Anders said. “Her background sets her aside from some of these politicians in a way that allows her to understand the middle class, the regular people.”

TRANSFORMATION Between 1950 and 1979, city lost 3,000 white-collar, 2,000 industrial jobs CONTINUED FROM FRONT you wanted to bring your rafts as far upstream as possible to minimize your land transportation,” Hughes said. But new technologies changed the balance between New Brunswick and Raritan Landing, which was on the river’s north side. Road improvements after 1640 changed locational forces because it was easier to move goods to New Brunswick, Hughes said. Since New Brunswick was navigable at both high and low tide, ships could transfer goods from the city more efficiently than rafts. The opening of the Delaware and Raritan Canal in the 1830s connected the Raritan River to the Delaware River, he said. “You could actually ship goods from Philadelphia up to Bordentown and bring them over to New Brunswick, and so you had this safe way of shipping between Philadelphia and New York City,” he said. Hughes said Raritan Landing was put at a disadvantage because the canal could only be accessed from the south side of the river. Therefore, only New Br unswick developed industrially. David Listokin, co-director of the Center for Urban Policy Research, said Raritan Landing was lost in histor y for decades. “It almost was like Pompeii. As road improvements were being made, there were certain requirements that archeological digs be done, and we expanded our knowledge,” he said. The building of the Pennsylvania Railroad Bridge, now known as the Northeast Corridor, also helped boost New Br unswick’s industrial development and strengthen its connections with New York and Philadelphia. “A lot of innovative entrepreneurs clustered in the city and really developed a number of manufacturing specializations,” Listokin said. “U.S. Rubber Company was one [along with] wallpaper manufacturing.” But Johnson & Johnson was the only industrial giant that stayed in New Brunswick after the industrial revolution. Hughes said the Johnson brothers decided to bring their business to New Br unswick after spotting an abandoned wallpaper factor y on a train ride from New York to Philadelphia. “They had a ‘Eureka!’ moment,” he said. “‘Wow, if we produced here, we could really ship products to Philadelphia and New York City,’ which at that time were some of the largest markets in the world, so that train ride sealed New Brunswick’s fate going forward.” The manufacture of automobiles and Hispano-Suiza aircraft engines helped thrust New Brunswick into the global market in the 1930s and 1940s. “New products produced were not simply serving local markets,” he said. “It was sort of the first era of globalization and certainly

Johnson & Johnson’s products were global at that time.” But when the riverfront was fully built up, some of the production requirements grew. There were not enough goods along the Raritan River and canal, Hughes said. As a result, industry started migrating south. “The geography was changing. As we moved into the truck era, the canal received less and less importance, and even the railroad [faced decline] to some degree for shipping,” he said. In the ’50s, New Brunswick faced severe economic decline, said Dorothea Berkhout, associate dean of the Bloustein School. Between 1950 and 1979, New Brunswick lost seven department stores, 83 percent of its smaller retail establishments, more than 3,000 white-collar jobs, six major industrial plants and 2,000 industrial jobs, Berkhout said. She said the assessed value in central business district properties declined by 77 percent, and the generated taxes fell 52 percent even while the rate had been doubled. “In [1979], New Brunswick had a 12.7 unemployment figure compared to 7.7 in the country, so it was felt that all of this new construction and redevelopment would turn all of that around,” Berkhout said. Johnson & Johnson had opportunities to move its headquarters to North Brunswick and Somerset counties, but the company stayed in New Brunswick and helped rebuild the city in the 1960s, Hughes said. “It was really almost a mindboggling decision for J&J given the deterioration that was taking place,” he said. “That they would come and make a courageous decision to say, ‘Okay this was our original home. The city’s in decline we can help stop that decline and rebuild it.’” Pat Sheehan, the mayor of New Brunswick from 1967 to 1974, said Johnson & Johnson’s involvement was an integral variable in the rebuilding of New Brunswick. “If there was to be any movement forward, Johnson & Johnson abandoning New Brunswick just at this opportunity would have been fatal,” she said. Sheehan said Johnson & Johnson also pushed to extend Route 18 into New Brunswick. Its construction generated controversy from student groups and environmentalists, she said. “I think the Route 18 controversy was … generated primarily by the students. They were up in arms. The dormitories were there along the river, and their very lives would be at risk from the pollution and from the noise,” Sheehan said. Sheehan said as a compromise between the city and University students, the city constructed Deiner Park to mitigate noise pollution for the residence halls. Since the 1940s, New Brunswick’s economy has transformed greatly. Hughes said Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital, St. Peter’s University Hospital and Johnson & Johnson have made health care an important aspect of New Brunswick’s economy today.

Veteran charged with murder THE ASSOCIATED PRESS STEPHENVILLE, Texas — A 25-year-old Iraq war veteran charged with murdering former Navy SEAL and “American Sniper” author Chris Kyle and his friend turned his semi-automatic handgun onto the pair while they were at a Texas shooting range, authorities said yesterday. Eddie Ray Routh of Lancaster was arraigned early yesterday on two counts of capital murder in the deaths of Kyle, 38, and Chad Littlefield, 35, at the shooting range about 50 miles southwest of Fort Worth. Capt. Jason Upshaw with the Erath County Sheriff’s Office said Routh used a semi-automatic handgun, which authorities later found at his home. Upshaw declined to give any more details

about the type of gun used. Routh has not made any comments indicating what his motive may have been, Upshaw said. Sheriff Tommy Br yant said Routh was unemployed and “may have been suffering from some type of mental illness from being in the military himself,” but he didn’t know if Routh was on any medication. “I don’t know that we’ll ever know. He’s the only one that knows that,” Upshaw said. The U.S. military confirmed yesterday that Routh was a corporal in the Marines from June 2006 to January 2010. He was deployed to Iraq in 2007 and Haiti in 2010. His current duty status is listed as reserve. Routh is being held on $3 million bond. Authorities did not know whether Routh had a lawyer yet.

Bryant said the trio went to the shooting range around 3:15 p.m. Saturday. Someone else came across the bodies of Kyle and Littlefield around 5 p.m. and called 911. Upshaw said autopsies were still pending and he could not say how many times the men were shot or where on their bodies they were hit. After the shootings, Routh left the shooting range in Kyle’s black pickup truck, Br yant said, first going to his sister’s home in Midlothian, where he told her and her husband what he had done. The couple called local police. Routh arrived at his home in Lancaster, about 17 miles southeast of Dallas, at about 8 p.m. Police arrested him after a brief pursuit and took him to the Lancaster Police Department.

Alabama suspect painted as estranged THE ASSOCIATED PRESS MIDLAND CITY, Ala. — As an Alabama standoff and hostage drama marked a sixth day yesterday, more details emerged about the suspect at the center, with neighbors and officials painting a picture of an isolated man estranged from his family. Authorities say Jim Lee Dykes, 65 — a decorated veteran of the Vietnam War known as Jimmy to neighbors — gunned down a school bus driver and then abducted a 5-year-old boy from the bus, taking him to an underground bunker on his rural property. The driver, 66year-old Charles Albert Poland Jr., was to be buried yesterday.

Dykes, described as a loner who railed against the government, lives up a dirt road outside this tiny hamlet north of Dothan in the southeast corner of the state. His home is just off the main road north to the state capital of Montgomer y, about 80 miles away. The FBI said in a statement yesterday that authorities continue to have an open line of communication with Dykes and that they planned to deliver to the bunker additional comfort items such as food, toys and medicine. They also said Dykes was making the child as comfortable as possible. Dykes grew up in the Dothan area. Mel Adams, a

Midland City Council member who owns the lot where reporters are gathered, said he has known Dykes since they were ages 3 and 4. He said Dykes has a sister and a brother, but that he is estranged from his family. Adams said he didn’t know what caused the falling-out, but that “he had told part of his family to go to hell.” Midland City Mayor Virgil Skipper said Dykes’ sister is in a nursing home. Adams said law enforcement officers have talked to Dykes’ family members and advised them not to speak with reporters, and that officers told her there was nothing she could do to help the child in the bunker.

IN BRIEF TWO TURTLE HUNTERS PULLED FROM RIVER BERKELEY HEIGHTS, N.J. — Two turtle hunters were hospitalized after they fell through the ice in a secluded area of the Passaic River. Authorities say a 30-year-old woman called 911 around 8:15 p.m. Saturday to report her 37year-old boyfriend was in the water. The woman then apparently tried to help him and ended up in the water herself. Rescue crews soon arrived and had to paddle against the current and cut down trees with chainsaws to reach the couple, who were holding on to a tree. Both victims were suffering from extreme hypothermia when they were pulled from the water around 9:15 p.m., but they were treated at a hospital and released on yesterday. Four firefighters were treated at the scene for minor injuries. Authorities didn’t know why the pair were looking for turtles.

FUNERALS SCHEDULED FOR SLAIN MOM, DAUGHTER ENGLEWOOD, N.J. — Funeral ser vices will be held Tuesday morning for a northern New Jersey mom and her young daughter, who allegedly were slain by the mother’s boyfriend. Bergen County prosecutors say 34-year-old Michael Brady of Teaneck stabbed 41-year-old

Tam Marie “Tammy” Pitts-Gaddy last week during an argument in her apartment in Englewood, just outside New York City. They say he then used a plastic bag to smother her 5-year-old daughter, Natasia Gaddy, because she had witnessed her mother’s slaying. Brady remained jailed yesterday on $2 million bail. He’s pleaded not guilty to charges of murder, hindering apprehension and weapons offenses. Prosecutors say Brady and Pitts-Gaddy had dated for the last three years and lived together at times during their relationship.

LATEST WINTER STORM DROPS LITTLE SNOW TRENTON, N.J. — Most of New Jersey was spared by the latest winter storm system to hit the state. But authorities are still urging drivers to use extra caution, since some roads are still slick and slippery in spots. A coating to an inch was reported in most areas by late yesterday morning, though some areas of southern Jersey had about 2 inches on the ground. And although forecasters said more light snow was possible yesterday afternoon, no further accumulations were expected. No major weather-related problems were being reported yesterday. —The Associated Press

tudents clearly have no idea how to access the Internet. Connecting to Firefox shouldn’t be rocket science, but it’s definitely not easy. According to the University’s site, “RUWireless is available in all student centers and dining halls, most libraries, dorms and many academic and administrative buildings across the University.” If this is true, then why can’t we simply click a button and enjoy browsing? Students and faculty exercise their choice of two networks: One is “secure,” and liable to cutting out at any moment. The other is even more liable to disconnection. One network should be accessible. Dealing with two inaccessible networks is ridiculous. As New Jersey’s “premier public research university,” students should definitely be able to supplement their college experience with autonomous Internet access. We are, after all, living in the Internet Age. We are — of course — impatient. The level of inconsistency regarding access is even more outrageous. For instance, when a professor cuts her lecture short because her laptop cannot locate a

wireless provider, the University has crossed a line. Professors can get behind the student body on this issue. It’s annoying to every user, not to mention a waste of time. Central Systems and Services has dedicated these past few months to improving campus hardware. Now, operatives are updating systems in all residence halls, which will provide wall-to-wall wireless coverage — eventually. This progress is positive, but slow moving, for residents. Life without Ethernet cables would simplify things, for sure. RUWireless must be continuously updated in order to remain in its best condition, which validates this mandatory move for housing and should save students’ money. As the first country to implement the Internet, connectivity in the U.S. is at a significant disadvantage and may never rival, for example, South Korea’s crystal clear signal. American headlines neglect to mention our choppy connection, or the fact that other countries are outperforming us. Yet, the Internet defines us — our generation, our information and most importantly our education.

THIS WEEK’S

PENDULUM QUESTION

e’re kind of shocked by how low some people can get on the scumbag scale. We heard about a story on CNN about a young lady getting recognized on the street for unknowingly being featured on a “revenge porn site.” You read that right. Apparently, the way some guys are choosing to deal with their anger from failed relationships is by posting their ex’s sex pictures online, right along with their personal contact information, just in case the legions of perverts online have any trouble finding them on Facebook. We really can’t make this stuff up. Now, she and 25 other women are suing the revenge porn site. “Sexting” fiascoes cause severe emotional devastation, embarrassment, and social and professional paralysis. We hear stories about women that have to pick up their entire lives and move away so they can escape the wreckage. It’s important for women to protect themselves from this terrible phenomenon.

While it’s optimal that you don’t share naked pictures, remember that anything you send to another person or post online is out there and can’t be taken back. But, let’s get back to the scumbags. We cannot help but note the blatant sexism of exposing women online. Not only does this objectify women’s bodies and invade their privacy by posting their naked pictures as well as their contact information, but it’s also exerting control over women’s sexuality and perpetuating the idea that women should feel ashamed about their bodies. It’s also encouraging the notion that men can’t be trusted. So, guys, this is as much a problem for you as it is for the girls. The bottom line is that guys shouldn’t breach the trust and respect that women place in their hands by sharing a personal picture. Doing so is deliberately trying to ruin someone’s life, and that’s unacceptable. Plus, when word gets out about the guy’s terrible action, let’s just say it’ll be really difficult for him to get another girl again.

Abolish American democracy ED REEP

think we should abolish America’s democratic government and install a limited monarchy. Our politicians’ non-serious attitude about fixing the debt crisis has made it clear to me that they do not have the long-term interests of the country at heart. They are only thinking as far as the next election or their last term. This short-sightedness is a direct result of the fact that we elect our leaders for temporar y terms, giving them an incentive to procrastinate on making tough decisions and dealing with unpopular issues. Because of the absolutely devastating long-term nature of our country’s current fiscal problems, democracy and its perverse political incentives no longer make sense and may very well cause us economic ruin. If we instituted a monarchy with a king or queen who ruled for life and whose children would rule after him or her, we would remove these short-term incentives since the monarch and his or her heirs will be around indefinitely.

Some may say that establishing a government perpetrated and permitted monarchy would compromise our free- some horrible things. Slavery, the relocadom, but is that really the case?

COMMENTARY

democracy occurred when I heard about how the democratic government we installed in post-Taliban Afghanistan was trying to execute someone for converting to Christianity. Great Britain, by the way, having abolished slaver y before the United States, was probably a freer nation in the early 1800s even though it was a monarchy. The reason people associate monarchies with oppression is because most monarchies existed at a time when people didn’t care as much about human rights in general, not because monarchies are actually more prone to ignoring human rights. Imagine if Bill Clinton were our king. He was so effective during his reign as president. So many people loved him and he balanced the budget, but alas, he had to leave after two terms. Things just haven’t been as good since. I propose we declare Clinton the king of the United States — or at least someone ethical — in a professional sense — competent and moderate.

CASE Villanova forward fouls out to open RU offense inside post CONTINUED FROM BACK tallest team ever. The 6-foot-1 Laney then shifted to the five with four guards at her back in the closing minutes and overtime. Villanova for ward Laura Sweeney fouled out with 4:07 left in overtime after recording 11 points and 10 rebounds. Her absence opened up holes for Laney, who made three bank shots, scoring eight points in overtime. The play was simple: feed Laney in the post to make layups. “If I don’t make it, we don’t get points, we don’t win,” Laney said. The small-ball approach was Stringer’s tactic for a Villanova of fense known for crafty isolations that exploit a defense’s weaknesses. “I thought that if we went with all the little people, then we would be able to more quickly move and be able to switch as we needed and to be much more effective,” Stringer said. The Wildcats (16-5, 5-3) took advantage well enough to lead for almost the entire first two halves. Then sophomore point guard Shakena Richardson led a surge that exploited Villanova’s defensive weakness en route to posting 14 points, seven boards and seven assists — all team highs. Several of her baskets came off driving layups. “Against us, everybody gets penetration,” said Villanova head coach Harr y Perretta. “That’s why we play our big kids in the paint. We’re not real athletic on the perimeter.” Richardson stood at the free throw line as Rutgers trailed, 46-45, with eight seconds left. Her first free throw rattled off the rim. Then a swish on the second attempt tied the game. On the play to set Richardson’s free throws, Wheeler stole the ball from Sweeney. Rutgers did its best to get the ball to Richardson when Sweeney committed her fourth foul on Richardson’s drive. After a long game in which Rutgers shot layups at a 2-for-8 clip in the first half, Stringer’s small-ball approach worked. The Knights effectively guarded Sweeney without a true four or five on the court and then gave Richardson a scoring opportunity and Sweeney another foul. Perretta, who is likely to lead Villanova to the NCAA Tournament, blamed himself for keeping Sweeney in too long. She played 39 minutes. “We played zone a lot in the first half to tr y to take that away,” Per retta said of Rutgers’ backcour t penetration. “I even thought about zone on the last possession of the game, but it’s just not our philosophy to do that.” Beating a quality Big East team also gave Stringer confidence in her philosophy. For one game, Rutgers became the team that drew its past attention. For updates on the Rutgers women’s basketball team, follow Josh Bakan on Twitter @JBakanTargum.

FEBRUARY 4, 2013 WOMEN’S BASKETBALL RICHARDSON LEADS RUTGERS IN THREE CATEGORIES AGAINST VILLANOVA

Point guard approaches high position standards BY JOSH BAKAN ASSOCIATE SPORTS EDITOR

Rutgers women’s basketball point guard Shakena Richardson drove to the left side of the post. As her momentum brought her near the sideline Saturday, the sophomore instead showed enough body control to stay inbounds, found senior forward Chelsey Lee and showed of f a behind-the-back pass for an assist. Richardson has said repeatedly that she is obsessed with the New York style of street ball. But she has rarely put it all together for a performance up to head coach C. Vivian Stringer’s high standard for point guards. Richardson has duped many on the court with her moves. But after ending against Villanova on Saturday with 14 points, seven rebounds and seven assists — all team highs — Richardson was as speechless as any defender she crossed over. “I just turned it on, I guess,” she said. The 5-foot-4 Richardson was the smallest piece of a small-ball lineup in overtime and the waning minutes of regulation. She shared the court with sophomore guard Syessence Davis, senior guard Erica Wheeler, freshman guard Kahleah Copper and sophomore wing Betnijah Laney. Stringer showed more trust in her guards than she had all season against the Wildcats. Richardson deserves much of the credit for that.

She scored seven points Wednesday at Marquette, and Davis contributed six points, five boards and four assists at point guard. With those performances in mind, the point guard position is getting back to where Stringer wants it. “That’s probably tr ue, or let’s say [Wednesday against] Marquette because they were phenomenal, which is brilliant,” Stringer said of whether Richardson’s and Davis’ recent per formances were the best since former guard Khadijah Rushdan. Richardson and Davis have each started the past six games. The Neptune (N.J.) High School products combined for 86 minutes against Villanova. “From seeing the game through a two-guard perspective as the point guard, I’ve just been becoming more comfor table with the system and making plays and making it through,” Richardson said. Davis embodies Rushdan’s unconventional point guard qualities of rebounding — she recorded six boards against Villanova — and occasional post play. But in overtime, Rutgers needed a prototypical point guard. As Copper and Laney respectively played the four and five with unfamiliarity, they needed someone to feed them in the post. Richardson came through with the final two assists of the game, setting up layups for Laney and then Copper.

Sophomore point guard Shakena Richardson drives the lane Saturday past Villanova forward Emily Leer. Richardson ended the game with 14 points, seven assists and seven rebounds. TIAN LI “She saw the openings,” Laney said. “She dished it off to where it needed to be, and that’s how we were able to score and come out with a win.” Richardson displayed the ball-handling ability and poise to drive on nearly ever y of fensive set. In over time, those drives resulted in assists.

But she led the scoring charge in regulation. That included a sideways, two-handed underhand shot from about 8 feet out. Richardson has had bleak scoring nights, but that does not matter to Stringer. “I was sharing with [Richardson] that I’ve just become more comfortable with the decisions that she’s going to

make, and it’s been showing up,” Stringer said. “It’s not about the scoring. It’s about the decisions, seeing and recognizing who needs to have [the ball], what’s the situation.” For updates on the Rutgers women’s basketball team, follow Josh Bakan on Twitter @JBakanTargum.

OPENING Knights get first taste of competition without seniors lost to graduation CONTINUED FROM BACK The Knights were in the bottom third of the conference last season in goals against average, saves per game and save percentage. But a lot of that can be attributed to a defense that Brecht admits is still a work in progress. After junior defensemen Nicholas Contino and Christopher Zybrick, the unit is young and inexperienced. Finding the right combinations of

players could be an ongoing season-long project. “I would say defensively, I don’t think we’re as aggressive, tough and communicate as much as we need to be right now,” Brecht said. “We don’t need everybody to be the cover guy, but we need everybody to be able to work together as far defending the goal in different areas of the field.” Offensively, there were some bright spots for the Knights, despite Brecht admitting they “labored” to get good shots.

Senior attack Duncan Clancy scored three of the team’s eight goals against Drexel, which was a good sign for the Knights considering Clancy missed the first four games last season because of injury. But to be a consistently successful offensively, the Knights will need contributions from their younger players to replace the 46 percent of point scoring they lost to graduation. Freshman attacks Nick Kilkowski and Scott Bieda provided that lift Saturday, as Kilkowski tallied four goals against Penn and Bieda provided two assists. The Knights open their season Saturday against Manhattan at the RU Stadium Complex.

Rice, Rutgers’ prodigy, becomes NFL champ BY TYLER BARTO SPORTS EDITOR

Ray Rice and Alex Silvestro became the eighth and ninth former Rutgers players, respectively, to win a Super Bowl yesterday, when the Baltimore Ravens beat the San Francisco 49ers, 34-31, in Super Bowl XLVII in New Orleans. Rice finished his storied three-year career in Piscataway in 2008 after becoming the program’s all-time leading rusher with 4,926 yards. He ranked 11th in the NFL in rushing yards with 1,143 and added nine regular-season rushing touchdowns.

His four th-and-29 conversion at San Diego ser ves as one of the most iconic plays of the regular season. Rice’s and Silvestro’s paths merged in 2007, Silvestro’s freshman season with the Scarlet Knights. He earned significant playing time in 2007 and became a starter along the defensive line in each of the next three seasons. Silvestro appeared in 49 career games for Rutgers, recording 154 tackles. The Ravens signed Silvestro to their practice squad midseason after the New England Patriots cut him. Silvestro transitioned to tight end in the of fseason after beginning his pro career at defensive end.

It was not easy, but the Rutgers women’s basketball team managed to get stops when it mattered most in its 5850 overtime victor y Saturday against Villanova. The Scarlet Knights struggled to find the right solution to tame the Wildcats, but they made the necessar y adjustments late in the game. Rutgers played from behind most of the game yet always remained within striking distance. It never gave Villanova enough room to make a run. “They were really aggressive with us,” said Villanova forward Laura Sweeney. “They are strong and they limited us to one shot, and usually that was a tough shot we had to take.” The Knights accelerated their defensive intensity in the closing minutes of regulation. But until then, the Wildcats had their way. Villanova exposed the holes in Rutgers’ defense early on by knocking down uncontested shots from behind the arc, going 4-for-7 in the second half. The Wildcats recognized the Knights were late on switches and made extra passes to open players, left alone on multiple occasions. After going 5-for-9 in the opening half, it was evident Villanova planned to use the perimeter to its advantage. Even Villanova center Emily Leer let one fly from about 3 feet behind the 3-point line and converted. But Rutgers applied pressure on the Wildcats as regulation ended and picked up the pace on the defensive end to take command of the game. “We got gritty, got hungry and really stepped it up on the defensive side,” said sophomore point guard Shakena Richardson. The Knights forced Villanova out of its philosophy as regulation

ended and dominated in overtime. They held the Wildcats without a field goal in overtime, allowing them only four points from the free throw line. In a matchup where 3-point shooting initially went well for the Wildcats, it also led to their demise. Villanova could not connect on its two attempts in over time. “We could not get another basket when we needed one at the end,” said Villanova head coach Harr y Perretta. “We could not get a stop when we needed it. That is just the way it goes. I feel responsible because I just could not find a way to get them an easy shot in the last minute of the game.”

two complete victories last week. After coming from behind to steal a victory from Villanova and beating Marquette on the road, Rutgers bounced back from a tough loss Jan. 27 at rival Seton Hall. The team did not show any ill effects from the loss in its consecutive impressive performances. “It’s all about how you rebound,” Richardson said. “We can only go for ward. We tr y to forget about what happened in the past and keep moving. We cannot take it back now. We just have to improve from it.” As the season progresses, the Knights hope to block out any memories of poor outings and hope to avoid lapses. “We did not dwell on it,” said sophomore wing Betnijah Laney. “The next day in practice we were not thinking about that. We were thinking about the upcoming game. That’s what we have to continue to do if we want to win.” For updates on the Rutgers women’s basketball team, follow Aaron Farrar on Twitter @AFarrarTargum.

Rutgers makes case for NCAA BY JOSH BAKAN ASSOCIATE SPORTS EDITOR

Sophomore wing Betnijah Laney heaves a shot over Villanova guard Rachel Roberts. Laney scored eight points Saturday in overtime, including the Knights’ first six.

This year’s Rutgers women’s basketball team has been different from most. The Scarlet Knights have sold a stumbling product that fewer are paying to see, and often the crowd noise of the Louis Brown Athletic Center has been muffled to the point where the referees can vividly hear hoarse hecklers. But in the closing minutes of Rutgers’ 5850 overtime victor y Saturday against Villanova, sophomore wing Betnijah Laney stood with the game ball on the vibrating RAC hardwood as a standing ovation surrounded her. In all likelihood, more than the hecklers left the RAC yesterday without a voice. Head coach C. Vivian Stringer heard a different one. “I was telling them that in the opera there’s always a fat lady that sings. She’s been humming,” Stringer said. “You can see her warming her voice up. Get ready to go. We heard a voice.” Laney was unaccustomed to this limelight, even trembling a bit when called upon in the small postgame press conference. The Clayton, Del., native had to mature during her sophomore year, a season after sharing the court with four upperclassmen at a time. Stringer gave Laney a new obstacle of playing the four position most of the game as the Knights (13-8, 4-4) executed a small-ball approach, moving away from a philosophy to take advantage of what Stringer calls her

MEN’S LACROSSE FRESHMEN IMPRESS BRECHT AS SEASON APPROACHES

Exhibition matches leave opening for goalkeepers BY BEN CAIN STAFF WRITER

The Rutgers men’s lacrosse team entered its two exhibition games Saturday with many question marks surrounding a team that limped to a 6-9 finish last season. After both games concluded, there were more questions than answers. The Scarlet Knights lost the first scrimmage to Drexel, 13-8, and defeated Penn, 11-10, in the second. Although the

Knights struggled on of fense and left more to be desired at the defensive end, their star ting goalkeeper situation remained the biggest myster y. Senior Rudy Butler and junior Steven Lusby split time in goal last season, with Butler starting the first five games and Lusby the last seven. Butler went 3-2 as a starter between the pipes last season, recording a .484 save percentage and a 9.6 goals against average. Lusby went 2-5 with a .494 save percentage and an 11.12 goals against average.

But Saturday, two freshman goaltenders in Kris Alleyne and Jake Andersen made the most positive impression on head coach Brian Brecht. “I would say right now it’s wide open,” Brecht said of the goalkeeper competition. “Because some of the evaluations of the scrimmages [Saturday], I thought both Kris Alleyne and Jake Andersen, the two freshman played better than expected. So I do think that’s going to be a little bit more wide open now. To take nothing away from Lusby and Butler, but I think
