Student government shares concerns of aid, housing DAN COREY STAFF WRITER
Federal student aid, off-campus housing and the on-campus housing lottery are just a few matters that have concerned students at the beginning of this semester. The Rutgers University Student Assembly held its first bi-weekly meeting of the spring semester last night at the Student Activities Center on the College Avenue campus. Francine Newsome Pfeiffer, director of the Office of Federal Relations, spoke first last night about how she advocates for Rutgers students in Washington and what students can do to remain involved in federal discussions. Among other issues, Pfeiffer cited a “sizeable” increase in federal Pell grants as being beneficial but not meeting the needs of students with paramount financial difficulties. “For our students with the greatest financial need, there’s still a lot more that can be done,” she said.
Though she said she is “not worried” about the status of work study programs, Pfeiffer said she fears national efforts to simplify financial aid, particularly subsidized loans, will greatly worsen the issue of student debt. Following Pfeiffer’s presentation, several Rutgers administrators presented rough outlines for new housing initiatives both on and off-campus. Felicia McGinty, vice chancellor of Student Affairs, said she is concerned with how the current housing lottery system prioritizes sophomores last, putting current first-year students in an uncomfortable position. Describing the housing lottery as “the wrong thing to do,” she said it is unfair to expect second semester first-year students to be prepared to live off-campus so soon. “With the current configuration of the lotter y ... second semester freshmen would have to be looking for a place to live off-campus,” SEE CONCERNS ON PAGE 5

Most are aware of Jon Stewart, Comedy Central’s critically acclaimed television host and stand-up comedian. Lesser known, though, is the 19-Emmy Award winner’s bartending career, which lasted for several years at City Gardens, one of Trenton’s most infamous clubs. “Riot on the Dance Floor: The Stor y of Randy Now and City
Gardens” is one of several films in the 33rd annual New Jersey Film Festival that will pull the audience through decades of new wave, punk and reggae alongside Stewar t’s humble beginnings. Al Nigrin, executive director and curator for the festival, said the event, which starts on Jan. 31 and ends on March 1, will showcase more than 50 screenings, including new international films, American independent features and experimental and short subjects.
Steve Tozzi, director of “Riot on the Dance Floor,” said he received widespread support when he approached City Gardens with the idea of a documentary. A Kickstarter online fundraising campaign raised $40,000 to cover the necessary expenses. The documentar y fixates around Randy Ellis, Tozzi said, who took on the alternative moniker “Randy Now” when he SEE FESTIVAL ON PAGE 4

U. adds new courses for spring semester NIDHI PATEL CONTRIBUTING WRITER
As a historian, Alastair Bellany studies the political culture of early modern England. But this semester, he is leaping into the future to teach about the British royal family’s Prince William and Duchess Kate Middleton. To accompany his foray into British culture, he will play The Sex Pistols’ “God Save the Queen.” Bellany, an associate professor in the Department of History at the University, is one of the professors that will be teaching a handful of new signature courses available in
the School of Arts and Sciences for the spring semester. “I can say that I find the course tremendously fun to teach,” he said. “I get to ... work with all kinds of rich and fascinating sources — rituals and architecture, paintings and movies, satires and plays, novels and songs, political biographies and guides to court etiquette.” New courses include Human Nature and Human Diversity, The Past Today: Why Conflicts Endure and the Arts of Power: Ritual, Myth and Propaganda from the Age of Augustus to the World of Wikileaks.

Throughout the world, sea levels are rising at an average of 3 millimeters per year, said Rober t Kopp, an associate professor in the Depar tment of Ear th and Planetar y Sciences at Rutgers. Kopp is part of a research team composed of members from Harvard University and Rutgers University focusing on sea levels. Many sources have been found to contribute to the rising tides, including global climate change, he said. “Sea level rises at a dif ferent rate ever ywhere on the planet,” he said. “The physical processes causing sea levels to rise — some are global and some are local. Currently, the mean is about 3 millimeters per year.” Kenneth Miller, a distinguished professor in the Depar tment of Ear th and Planetar y Sciences, said the seas near New Jersey are rising at a rate of 4 or 5 millimeters per year — higher than the global average.
This is due to four ef fects. The first is a local ef fect, specifically attributed to the sediment on which New Jersey beaches sits. While nearby cities sit on solid rock, New Jersey sits on much softer sand. Miller said if someone went to a beach and got a bucket full of sand, a layer of water would appear on top of the sand by the time he or she returned home. He said the sand compacts with time, forcing the water contained within to move toward the top. This ef fect is happening throughout New Jersey, he said. The other regional ef fect is the result of an ice sheet that existed in Canada approximately 20,000 years ago. “That ice sheet melted away, so the area under Canada star ted bouncing up,” Miller said. “Imagine it’s like a trampoline. But there is a see-saw effect — [if] that area goes up, we star t sinking.” This effect, known as glacial isostatic adjustment, is a region-
al one causing New Jersey to sink, Miller said. Even though it has no effect on the sea levels on its own, it makes the ocean levels appear to rise faster than in other locations. The other two ef fects are global, Kopp said. One is the melting of ice sheets and mountain glaciers. The last ef fect is the heating of the ocean. Warmer ocean water takes up more space through a process known as thermal expansion. Carling Hay, a postdoctoral fellow at the Depar tment of Ear th and Planetar y Sciences at Harvard, said no data can be provided at the moment for how quickly oceanic temperatures are rising but he did say oceans are rising at faster rates now compared to 100 years ago. “Previous estimates of global sea level rise from 1900-1980 were 1-2 millimeters per year,” she said. “We agree with the estimate — what

Rutgers opens doors to crime for ‘Murder Mystery Night’ JULIAN KHAN CONTRIBUTING WRITER
More than 130 students were treated to colorful characters in 1920s costumes, a murder plot and pizza at the Rutgers University Programming Association’s interactive event. Rutgers students filled the lower level of the College Avenue campus’ Art Library Wednesday evening to attend RUPA’s second annual Murder Mystery Dinner, which featured actors from The Murder Mystery Company and music from the 1920s. The plot of the event, which was characterized by comedic and mysterious elements, took twists and turns, including but not limited to an affair with a milkman, a hitwoman, a hunt for a rival West side bootlegger and murder. As an “interactive theater,” the actors roamed the tables set up in the library, mingling with spectators. Before the start of the show, the actors gave one student at each of the tables a hat designating them as a special character in the performance. Students playing characters were given names like Miss Percy Featherbottom III, Teddy Roosevelt and Rat Finkle. Many portrayed murder suspects and minor characters in the story. The character Rat Finkle played an informant who disclosed another student playing a gangster.
Before the night was over, another student who played a milkman named Gus, ended the performance with lipstick kiss marks on his face after having an affair with a gangster’s girlfriend. Erica Cipollina, assistant director and event planner for RUPA, said the initial student response to the event was so strong RUPA was forced to offer a limited number of tickets in order to keep the Art Library from going over maximum capacity. “We thought the location would get people more excited to come, and the response was insane,” she said. “We had over 500 people RSVP on Facebook...” Cipollina said tickets online for the event sold out within hours of availability, with many attending students having heard of the event through a friend. In order to prepare for the event, RUPA hired three actors and one actress from The Murder Mystery Company, ordered more than 20 pizzas and draped the Art Library with black-and-white decorations to match the clothing of the actors. “We hope people walk away well fed, and maybe have figured out if they can solve a murder,” Cipollina said. Jennifer Simon, assistant director of Student Life, said student interest in the event was so great RUPA may
Actors from The Murder Mystery Company engaged Rutgers students in an interactive event hosted by the Rutgers University Programming Association on Jan. 28 at the Art Library on the College Avenue campus. YINGJIE HU / STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER consider moving the event to a larger venue next year. Paul Valenti, an actor for The Murder Mystery Company, said he was happy to be returning to Rutgers after performing a masquerade-themed show last year. “This is our second year. We’re very happy to be back,” he said. “This is fun and we love [performing at] Rutgers.” Most students had a strong positive response to the event. Nearly every table was filled, and laughter could be heard throughout the show.
Avery McWilliams, a School of Arts and Sciences sophomore, said she was impressed by the performances and would “absolutely” plan to attend the event next year. “The best part of the event was the detective,” she said. “He was so enthusiastic.” Conner Dooley, a School of Arts and Sciences sophomore, said he walked into the event not knowing he would be chosen to play the milkman in the story. He said he had “tons of fun” even though the event had taken an unexpected turn for his character.
David Sor, a School of Engineering senior, said he enjoyed the 1920s mafia theme. “With the mafia — it’s a very good atmosphere,” he said. “It’s definitely the type of environment where you think a murder would happen.” Harr y Braich, a School of Ar ts and Science senior, said he strongly recommended other students attend the event in the future. “Yeah, definitely [people should come],” he said. “Especially people that are into fun and mysteries.”

When a student is passionate about a class they will do better, Hublikar says CONTINUED FROM FRONT
All of the courses will achieve at least two of the School and Arts and Sciences academic core curriculum goals. Aditya Hublikar, a School of Engineering sophomore, majoring in biomedical engineering, is excited by the idea that Rutgers is always adding different and interesting courses to fulfill the SAS requirements. “I feel like the professors who teach signature courses are definitely more passionate about the course itself because it is usually a subject they themselves have a strong interest in as well,” he said. “And the people who take these classes have some prior interest in the subject.” Only someone interested in such detailed and specific courses would register, Hublikar said. The courses would fill multiple school requirements while the students acquire knowledge on a topic other than their major, which appeals to them. Jena Patel, an Ernest Mario School of Pharmacy second-year student, believes the addition of new courses will prevent students from always taking the easy way out. “Instead of students always looking for a GPA booster, they will be more inclined to take a course based on interest and passion,” she said. “I believe that when a student is passionate about the course, he or she is willing to complete the assignments on time and [be] more motivated.”

COURSES
Students in classes such as Biology, Chemistry and Organic Chemistry have to forcefully create a passion for that subject, Patel said. Because of this, the students succeed, but not because they have a genuine passion for the subject. Ishaan Jain, a School of Engineering sophomore, enjoys registering for courses that ignite and fuel his curiosity. “Personally, I have many diverse interests and love to read about all sorts of topics,” Jain said. “Now, due to Rutgers providing SAS students with signature courses, they are able to not only fulfill requirements for their respective degrees but also continue to enrich their education by taking classes for which they have passions.” By providing interesting courses that fulfill more than one SAS requirement, the school is promoting unique educational interests and expanding learning potential in the few shor t college years most students have, Jain said. Instead of halting their career to learn about something different, students are able to take courses like Abnormality and Normality as par t of their fulltime student curriculum. “Many universities cannot provide for all the students interests, but Rutgers has provided to a majority of students’ passions through signature courses. I hope Rutgers continues to create new and reestablished courses in the future,” Jain said.

Local coffeehouse welcomes local arts and crafts vendors ERIN PETENKO ASSOCIATE NEWS EDITOR
Hidden Grounds welcomed students and locals alike last night to show off New Brunswick talent at their first arts and crafts fair. The coffee house, nestled underneath a building on the corner of Easton Avenue and Mine Street, was packed with interested buyers looking at crafts ranging from art prints to coffee-inspired watches. Mar y Kate Riechs, a barista at the café, said she asked the owner for permission to hold the fair with a variety of ar tists she knows and other vendors. She owns Rad Cat Shop, an online clothing store that of fers vintage clothing and handmade accessories. “This is the first time we’re selling these clothes in person,” said Riechs, who graduated last May. Hidden Grounds is known for featuring creative events, like concerts, film screenings and workshops, she said. “People feel secure and welcome here, it brings in talkative, friendly, nice people ... and fosters a creative environment,” she said. One of her friends at the fair was Alyssa Rorke, a Rutgers alumna, who distributes “zines” — small, often handmade magazines produced by individuals or small groups. She said she was inspired to get into the business after touring with a friend’s band and attending a zine fest.
She produces a zine called Letters from Bummer Camp, but the other zines at the table varied in topic, from creative writing and self-help to musicians sharing the latest information about their work. Zines have an interesting intersection with blogs in the online era, she said. “I feel like zines and blogs go hand in hand,” she said. “There’s a distinct difference between them. You would use blogs for some things and zines for others.” Bree Guell, owner of Bree Luvs Munny, was another artist who was captured by her craft. On impulse, she bought a Do It Yourself Munny, a small figurine made from vinyl, and began to make miniature copies of pop culture icons. She became engrossed in the project, and now makes them both from her own inspiration and on commission from others. The figurines on her table ranged from Albert Einstein to Doctor Who. “As I practiced and honed my craft, I realized I could actually say I’m sculpting now,” she said. She frequently recycles small objects to use in her projects. In her sculpture of Ariel from The Little Mermaid, she used her grandmother’s old pendent as a lobster. Some of the hair on her figurines comes from her old dolls. “I save ever ything,” she said. “I have thousands of drawers of tiny things.”

Keep your glow all year round with self tanning method JANINE PUHAK STAFF WRITER
Some like it bronze, some like it gold –– but whether you identify as friend or foe of the tanning industry, it is impossible to ignore its presence on Rutgers’ New Brunswick campus. In correlation with the eternal popularity of fitness culture in the collegiate environment, a trend only boosted through the rise of social media, ladies and gentleman alike are attracted to the appearance of a healthy glow, especially off-season. With Greek formal recruitment set to launch this weekend and spring break a slim six weeks away, now is the time to read the fine print and perfect your own sunless routine. Fear not, pale soul –– there is simple method to the madness of tanning if you take the time to investigate. There are lotions and potions that suit everyone, for the business of sun bathing has come a long way. The tanning trend has been dancing back and forth across the line of vogue for centuries. The modern obsession with a sunny glow can be largely credited to the wide diversity in
relatively affordable priced products on the market. No matter how much or how little time you can invest, you can catch your own rays at your own pace. Napoleon Bonaparte once said, “If I had to choose a religion, the Sun as the universal giver of life would be my god.” Evaluated below are three of the most popular approaches to bronzing: bulb tanning, lotions and bronzers.
HIGH COMMITMENT – BULB TANNING
When walking the route of bulb tanning, there are two paths to take. Bed tanning involves a coffin shaped lay down bed with a fold over top, while stand up tanning implicates a shower setting that you step into. No matter how you slice it, bulb tanning will always crown any list of tanning methods for the streak free, line free, all over glow it can provide. Bulb tanning is generally only accessible at professional salons, and it can get expensive. Take heed, however, for the USFDA not support bed tanning on the premise of its dangerous carcinogenic property that can cause skin cancer, skin burns, premature aging and eye damage.
PART TIME COMMITMENT – LOTION
The beauty of toying with self-tanning creams, mists and sprays is that you can use them anytime at home and most products can be picked up for under $20. Layering self-tanners on a daily basis can yield an all over glow in less than a week and will generally last at least double that time. Some products even come loaded with sunscreen. Research is of the essence, and careful application is even more essential. A self-tan job gone wrong will be clearly evident by orange hands and stripy lines, so make sure your roomie is around to help ensure an even application to your back. Keep an eye out for scented products that will overpower with the stench of dihydroxyacetone, the simple compound commonly known as DHA that is the culprit to blame for the famously pungent odor in self-tanning concoctions.
can instantly glam up any look, perfect for those last minute invitations. Sunbathing, tanning beds and even some spray tans can lead to serious issues, and bronzer is the only surefire way to achieve a 100 percent safe, golden glow. While there is a notable drawback in the fleeting temporality in bronzer, for it always seems to fade a few hours past application, many
of these sun kissed powders also hydrate your skin while keeping you shine free. Sweep it over your neck, face and arms for an endless summer beam, even on the coolest of January nights. However real or replicated it may be, the sunnier mindset, healthier look and shot of confidence a good tan can provide in the dead of winter has gotten our vote.
LOW COMMITMENT – BRONZER
A miracle come true for the student on the run, bronzing powder goes where no other tanning method has gone before – on the go with you, wherever you are. Bronzers are speedy, portable and
Of all tanning methods, bulb tanning, like the beds at Bachi Hair & Spa on East Ave in New Brunswickprovides a streak free and line free tan giving you a more natural glow. NAAZ MODAN

WEEK IN REVIEW: Laurels and Darts PSYCHIATRY OF SEINFELD

Turning television into knowledge, Anthony Tobia, associate professor in the Department of Psychiatry at Robert Wood Johnson Medical School uses the popular show Seinfeld to teach psychiatry. Thanks for making the material relatable because let’s be honest — we were all watching Netflix instead of doing the assigned reading. This laurel is for all the educators out there, like Tobia, who use contemporary television to teach their lessons.
Rutgers was recently ranked in the top 50 for schools with a “sugar baby increase.” More than 300 University students have registered profiles with seekingarrangement.com, a website designed to match students with wealthy benefactors. This dart goes out to the rising cost of a college education forcing students to go to extreme lengths in order to pay for rent, tuition and textbooks.

In a vote of the state assembly yesterday, lawmakers agreed with Governor Christie’s veto of a bipartisan bill that would restore roughly $90 worth of food stamps to over 160,000 children and senior citizens. Had it passed, the vote would have overturned Christie’s veto and restored the funds. This dart is for the state politicians who failed to speak up for those dependent on government aid.

FUNDS ON FUNDS ON FUNDS After seven and a half years, Rutgers has exceeded its fundraising goal of $1 billion. Through the “Our Rutgers, Our Futures,” campaign, almost $500 million was raised to fund education, research projects, the athletics department and more. Moreover, $286.1 million will be used to foster student learning in addition to creating nearly 450 new endowed scholarships and fellowships. This laurel is for anyone who contributed to the campaign — thanks for helping to make the University a better, more adequately funded, place.
RESEARCH AT RUTGERS Researchers at Rutgers have been awarded a $550,000 grant to continue looking into autism, spectrum disorders and child developmental disorders in New Jersey, where one in 45 children are diagnosed with autism. The grant comes as part of the Center for Disease Control’s decision to invest $20 million over the next four years to track autism prevalence. This laurel goes out to all the researchers working on this project. Good luck!
SERIOUSLY JUNO? Snowstorm Juno may just be the letdown of the year, so far at least. Meteorologists predicted New York and New Jersey would get at least 2 feet of snow, effectively shutting down the MTA and Port Authority and causing Gov. Christie to implement a travel ban. Juno also prompted the University to shut down (Targum production was halted for two days.) This dart is for all the meteorologists that got it wrong — we know this isn’t the first time, and we’re sure it won’t be the last.

Speaking up on behalf of marginalized communities THREE LAYERS DEEP
YVANNA SAINT-FORT
T
here are two characteristics of my being that I will never be able to deny: the fact that I am black and the fact that I am a woman. Everything else I have the ability to change — should I wish to — but my outward appearance is something I would not alter and could never deny. Yet being a black woman is a double-edged sword. I love the fact that my hair grows out and up as opposed to straight down, and I love that I can wear it however I want — straight, curly, in braids or in Senegalese twists, my style of choice. I love my skin color, I love my history and I love my Haitian roots. However, because black women are the sheer antithesis of what western culture has deemed beautiful and important, everything I love about myself gets questioned, drowned out and muddied. As a result, in the past I have been slightly unnerved when those who are not black talk about the lives and rights of black people as if they completely understand what I face on a daily basis. I would childishly think to myself, “You don’t walk through life as a black person, let alone a black woman, so what could you possibly know about the issues that affect us?” Yet as I’ve come to interact with different
people from all walks of life, I have become cognizant of my judgments. It is the absolute truth that one does not have to be part of a marginalized community in order to fight for the rights of those who are marginalized. In other words, you don’t have to be black to fight for the rights of black people, just like you don’t have to be a woman to advocate for or believe in feminism. However, advocating for a cause that does not apply to you can have consequences for those who are affected by the matter. If you are not part of a marginalized
frivolous view to rear its head once more. During the Million Men March held in New York City on Dec. 13, I saw the tangible manifestation of all I had been thinking. On that day, my sister and I marched among thousands of individuals, all of whom willingly gave up their day to join in the fight against police brutality and systematic racism. Halfway through the march, we saw a white woman holding a sign saying, “With white privilege comes great responsibility,” and both of us were moved to the point of tears. What her sign
“Halfway through the march, we saw a white woman holding a sign saying, ‘With white privilege comes great responsibility,’ and both of us were moved to the point of tears. What her sign said was a simple fact I had been battling with for years.” community, when all is said and done, you do not have to bear the cross of that fight unless you want to — you’re free to walk through life without anyone equating that fight to you by virtue of skin color, creed or gender. When the grand jury decisions in the Michael Brown and Eric Garner cases were released, I was infuriated. But what bothered me more were white people, many of whom are my closest friends, posting on Facebook saying, “We have to stop this,” and “We have to fight back,” causing my
said was a simple fact I had been battling with for years. When those who are in a position of power fight for a cause, meaning they are not marginalized, their presence adds weight to the movement. Although I am not advocating for the notion of a “white savior,” in which a white person “saves people of color from their plight,” when individuals fight for a cause that does not affect them, it invariably shows the importance of the movement. That day opened my eyes. I was surprised to see just how many white
people were marching and chanting through the streets with us. There were college students, parents with their children and the elderly marching with canes. As we marched through the streets, chanting the call, “Show me what democracy looks like,” and response, “This is what democracy looks like,” I couldn’t help but smile because that was what democracy should look like. There were thousands upon thousands of people marching for a cause that we all collectively believed in. At that point, it didn’t matter who any of us were in our daily lives or what any of us looked like because we were marching in the names of justice and democracy. Over a month after the event, I have no way of knowing if any of the people I marched with, black or white, are still advocating for the cause. But together we shared an experience, one that has proved life changing for me and solidified the absolute necessity of the fight against police brutality. I have learned that regardless of the issue, regardless of who it affects, the more people that come together to work toward its realization, the more effective that fight will be.

Abusive professor-student relationships unacceptable
NOTHING IF NOT CRITICAL PHILLIP WYTHE
F
or many undergraduate students, working alongside an esteemed professor is a major achievement. Professors hold a vast catalog of knowledge to share with undergraduate students. Building a professional relationship with an experienced faculty member should be an exciting opportunity, which allows both the professor and their student to learn from one another. However, professors hold an enormous amount of power over their students. They control our grades, help us network with other professors and influence our future academic careers. In the hands of an abusive professor, this power can be damaging. Three years ago, a close friend of mine was sexually harassed by an affiliate research professor and part of her university’s materials science department. This professor abused his position of power over an undergraduate student, used his private company in order to enable his behavior and utilized his influence in his scientific field in order to prevent her from outing her harasser. For the sake of this article, I’ll call my friend “Marie.” Marie is a bright and passionate scientist, always eager to help others. During her undergraduate years at a major university, she did extremely well. So when an extremely successful and well-connected adjunct professor agreed to work as her advisor for her bachelor’s thesis project, his offer seemed like a dream come true.
This professor — I’ll call him “Professor Henry” — was a renowned scientist within his field. There were over 30 patents to his name, a successful company co-founded under his control, and dozens of students under his wing. Professor Henry presented a major opportunity for Marie — and Marie made sure her bachelor’s thesis was perfect. After receiving an A on her thesis, Marie began working for Professor Henry’s company. Marie was a truly gifted scientist, who would troubleshoot PhD students’ schematics for a local university. Henry would drive Marie to work in his own car and worked closely in overseeing her research. And thanks to Professor Henry’s industry connections, she had the
in the same city and shared car rides with her adviser. In one scene, the unnamed adviser molests “Marie” in his car. He later has graphic sex with her in the comic. When Marie saw the PDF, she began visibly shaking. She e-mailed the company’s co-founder about Professor Henry’s disgusting behavior — yet, Henry’s colleague complained that Marie was “attempting to violate [her] boss’s first-amendment rights,” and that she should not question Professor Henry’s “creative expression.” At her university, Marie reached out to her student support services, ombudsperson and academic adviser about the situation. Her academic advisor offered to follow up with the materials science

In the hands of an abusive professor, this power can be damaging.” opportunity to attend a major international conference and present her research to a room full of potential future colleagues. Marie did not just have Professor Henry to thank for the opportunities — she relied on his powerful connections. Sometime afterward, Professor Henry started working on a quantum physics textbook in the style of an erotic comic. Marie was sent a PDF copy via e-mail and read over the text. Marie immediately noticed that the sexually explicit comic featured an unnamed adviser, and his undergraduate student, “Marie.” “Marie” wore the same uniform as her real-life counterpart, lived
department’s HR team but no follow-up ever happened. Nor did the university investigate Professor Henry’s history of sexual harassment. Marie’s university did nothing to help protect her from her harasser. So when Marie cut ties with Professor Henry, she also sacrificed her chances of entering graduate school within her university’s materials science department. While Henry still holds massive power within his academic position, Marie’s educational opportunities have been effectively smothered. Granted, Marie’s story did not take place at Rutgers University. Marie isn’t even a New Jersey resident. However,
Marie’s story comes from an elite university, considered one of the best in the nation. Indeed, sexual harassment in academia has been an ongoing crisis for decades, even within elite universities. Last year, MIT professor Walter H.G. Lewin was stripped of his professor emeritus status, after investigations revealed his history of sexually harassing female students. And according to Louise Fitzgerald’s 1991 publication The Incidence and Dimensions of Sexual Harassment in Academia and the Workplace, more than 31 percent of female undergraduates surveyed reported some form of harassment by a collegiate instructor. Marie’s sexual harassment also runs alongside an alarming sexual assault crisis found across university campuses. In a survey published by MIT last October, approximately 17 percent of female undergraduates reported being sexually assaulted. Last year, Rutgers-Newark professor Anna Stubblefield was charged with sexually assaulting a mentally disabled student. And formerly incoming Northwestern philosophy professor Peter Ludlow was accused of sexual assault in a federal lawsuit. Sexual harassment and assault within academia remains a serious issue throughout our nation’s universities. Marie’s story is not an outlier, and her experiences are not confined to one specific institution. Academia must take students’ complaints seriously and must listen to the voices of sexual harassment and assault survivors. Otherwise, abusive professors will continue to use their power in order to target vulnerable undergraduate students.

A confrontation or misunderstanding provides a hurdle in a group project. Keep your actions practical, rather than whimsical. Virgo ( Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Today is an 8 — Remember to consult with your partner, and avoid an argument at work. Review financial details privately. Keep digging and find the missing clue.

It’s a good time for transformations. Leave your money in the bank. Get out and exercise! Play with a friend and blow off steam. Capricorn ( Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Today is a 7 — Work conditions are favorable over the long term, but could present breakdowns or errors now. Don’t be hasty. Cultivate compassion for others. Find out what the team thinks. You lack total agreement. Discipline is required. Your suspicions get confirmed. Aquarius ( Jan. 20-Feb. 18) — Today is an 8 — Take action now for a possibility that could pay in the future. In a temporary setback, keep a secret and your patience. Hold out for what you want. Write up goals. Consider consequences. Friends help you go the distance. Pisces ( Feb. 19-March 20) — Today is a 7 — Handle a home repair to last for the long haul. Avoid frills or unnecessary features. Find a great deal. Sort and organize, but don’t hide your housemate’s stuff or risk an outburst. Passions are close to the surface. Careful planning pays.

RUN Knights shoot 22 percent in second half, convert only six field goals down stretch CONTINUED FROM BACK They exploded out in transition, sharing the ball and pushing aggressively to the point when they occasionally made a careless mistake. Michigan State ended the night with more turnovers (17) than Rutgers had field goals (16). The Knights shot 22 percent in the second half, converting only six shots from the field while the Spartans drained 50.9 percent of their shots for the game. “They did what they did best,” junior guard Bishop Daniels said of the 18-0 run. “They ran, they executed things we didn’t do. ... For us not to even be scoring in that much amount of time is ridiculous, so we’ve got to go back to the drawing board and figure something out.” During that impeccable run, five different Spartans scored. Forward Branden Dawson led the way, dominating Rutgers with a game-high 17 points to go along with 11 rebounds, four assists and two blocks in 29 minutes. With 15:29 to play, Dawson stripped Daniels underneath the basket before finishing with an empathic alley-oop from fellow Spartan guard Travis Trice at the other end. That extended Michigan State’s lead to 54-36. “He’s really good. He’s a real high energy player,” senior forward Kadeem Jack said of Dawson. “I really, really respect his game.” The drought mercifully ended for Rutgers after Jack, who tallied 17 points and seven rebounds, drained a layup with 9:24 left. But that only trimmed the margin to 62-38. The Knights had little to play for at that point, when a distinct talent gap completely nullified their game plan. “Our whiteboard had it right in pregame. We said transition,

They’re good, they’re physical, they’ve got a good pace and we just didn’t get a handle on any of the emphasis tonight.” Even with an extra two days of rest after Tuesday’s originally scheduled game slate was moved
because of weather, the Knights played sloppy and never found an extra gear. After sophomore wing Junior Etou made two free throws to cut Michigan State’s first-half lead to 23-19, the Spartans immediately responded with an 11-0 run. The Knights hung around, but fatigue continues to catch up with the Big Ten’s worst shooting team.
“At the end of the day we’ve got to step it up, no matter how many minutes we’re playing,” Daniels said. “We knew what we were getting into when we got [into the Big Ten], so I’m not blaming that anymore.” Still, they are running out of explanations, now going 18 days without a victor y since the program’s historic upset

lead at 16:28. But the Knights answered with an 8-0 run on their own, and held onto the lead for the rest of the game. Purdue battled with Rutgers until the end of the contest, but the Knights were able to hold off the Boilermakers and come out with the win. Junior wing Kahleah Copper lead the Knights on the stat sheet, posting 21 points, eight rebounds and two assists. Senior forward Betnijah Laney compiled her fifth double-double in Big Ten play, recording 18 points, 14 rebounds, and four assists. Defensively, the Knights had another impressive outing. After limiting the No. 21 Minnesota to 61 points on Sunday, Rutgers limited Purdue to 41 points on 34 percent shooting from the field. Although the Boilermakers rank last in the Big Ten in field goal percentage (29.7 percent) and 12th in scoring offense (67.2 points per game), the Knights were able to capitalize on the Boilermakers deficien-
cies on the offensive end. The Boilermakers committed 18 turnovers in the contest, and their top players struggled to operate against the Knights suffocating defensive pressure. Purdue guard April Wilson, who averages nearly five assists per game, was limited to only two last night against the Knights. The Boilermakers as a team managed only eight assists on their 17 made field goals. Conversely, the Knights were able to dish out seventeen assists on their 24 made field goals, displaying a more efficient offensive output than their opponent. With another important road win under its belt, Rutgers will look to keep its strong play going against Penn State on Sunday. The Nittany Lions feature a team in a similar situation as the Boilermakers, with many of the teams in the Big Ten ahead of them in the standings. The Knights will need another win to keep its momentum afloat, and to keep its tournament hopes alive once March rolls around.

Rutgers sends pair of long jumpers to invite MIKE O’SULLIVAN STAFF WRITER
As most of the team spends the week both resting and preparing for the bigger meets in February, the Rutgers’s men’s track and field team will trot out only a few athletes to compete in this weekend’s Armory Collegiate Invitational. After using most of the roster for the team’s first two meets, head coach Mike Mulqueen and his staff have worked with the Scarlet Knights to determine when the team should be in prime shape to send most of the athletes out to compete. “We’re only going to be competing two athletes [at the Armory Collegiate Invitational],” Mulqueen said. “Everyone else is going to practice through to prepare for our next big competition in two weeks.” Mulqueen alluded to the Metropolitan Championships and the Valentine Invitational, which start the beginning of the championship-style meets for the Knights. Around this time each indoor season, Mulqueen, along with assistants Robert Farrell and Lou Tomlinson, collaborate to decide which athletes should be competing to gather qualifying marks for future meet. They also choose when athletes who have already garnered those marks should rest and begin preparing for future meets. This weekend, senior Corey Crawford and junior Emeka Eze are both expected to compete in the championship long jump. Crawford is looking to attain his qualifying mark in the long jump
for the NCAA Indoor Championships and carry some momentum into more high-profile meets. Meanwhile, Eze returns to action following his victory in the Penn State Invitational long jump two weeks ago, where he won with a mark of 7.20 meters. With Crawford and Eze set for action at the Armory, their teammates will pitch in support from the sides. Freshman sprinter Stuart Tweedie will not compete this weekend coming off his victory in last time in the 200-meter race at the Metro Team Challenge, but he understands that he has to do his best to prepare for the championship races ahead. “We’ve already started training for the [Valentine Invitational] coming up in Boston,” Tweedie said. “We’re going to have a very tough two weeks of training before we go up to Boston.” Following this week, the Knights will amp up the intensity as they get ready for the most critical and intense part of the season. Senior sprinter D’Andre Jordan has been through this process many times before, and is looking forward to the competitions that lie ahead of the Knights. “We hope that our guys competing this weekend do great,” Jordan said. “The rest of us are training through this week so that we’ll be better for the Metropolitan Championships and other meets coming up.” For updates on the Rutgers men’s track and field team, follow @TargumSports on Twitter.

Knights host home quad meet EVAN BRUNO CONTRIBUTING WRITER
After picking up two victories against Southern Connecticut State and Brockport last weekend, the Rutgers gymnastics team looks to continue its winning roll into Saturday’s Blackout meet. The Scarlet Knights host No. 21 Michigan State, Brown and Wisconsin-Oskosh 4 p.m. at the Livingston Gym. Rutgers (3-4, 0-3 Big Ten) posted a season high 195.375 last weekend, good for the sixth-highest team score in program history. Sophomore Claire Jones posted an impressive score of 9.800 in her season debut on the floor exercise. “Everything just went my way and it was perfect timing,” Jones said. “It was a good confidence boost for the next week to come. … Hopefully I can do it again.” Senior captain Emma Hoffman’s performances have merited successful placements in meets,
setting multiple career-bests in the 9.900 on vault and a 9.800 on the floor exercise. “I feel like it’s just all of my hard work coming together,” Hoffman said. “I’ve been doing it in the gym and now it finally happened in competition, so it’s good to see that paying off.” The Knights will be facing yet another ranked opponent in Spartans this weekend. MSU (22, 1-1) earned a season-high score 195.750, but fell to Big Ten foe Minnesota on the road. The Spartans had six gymnasts record career-highs on the vault and were led by Nicola Deans’ 9.900 in the event. MSU tied a season-best 48.850 on beam and Elena Lagoski posted a 9.900 in the floor exercise. Gunning for the program’s 500th victory, extra motivation fuels the Spartans. Brown (5-1) was victorious in their home opener last weekend, scoring 192.375. The reigning
ECAC Champions placed first in the quad meet with Bridgeport, Rhode Island College and the University of Rhode Island. Caroline Morant posted a 9.800 on the beam and a 9.700 on the vault to help the Bears earn the victory. Morant earned the ECAC honors following the win. Wisconsin-Oskosh fell to Wisconsin-La Crosse 185.675-179.750 in their previous meet despite a solid effort from Krystal Walker. Walker won the all-around competition with 36.375 points. As the lone Division III program, Wisconsin-Oskosh (2-1) faces a tall task against the opposing Division I schools. Regardless of the competition, the Knights look to notch their first Big Ten win. “It doesn’t matter who we go up against …we’ve got to go out there and do our jobs,” Levine said.

January 30, 2015 KNIGHT NOTEBOOK SPARTANS DRAIN EIGHT THREE-POINTERS TO BURY RUTGERS
RU’s perimeter defense suffers with freshman sidelined SEAN STEWART ASSOCIATE SPORTS EDITOR
Not even a helping hand from Mother Nature was enough to prevent the inevitable outcome facing the Rutgers men’s basketball team. Entering Thursday’s rescheduled 6 p.m. tipoff against a Michigan State team that was coming off a disappointing two-point road loss at Nebraska, the Scarlet Knights knew they would get ever ything they could handle from Tom Izzo’s physical squad. Add in the loss of freshman guard Mike Williams — the team’s best perimeter defender — and it seemed like Rutgers’ chances of an upset were slim to none. It showed, as the Spartans cruised to a comfortable 71-51 win at the Louis Brown Athletic Center. For all the struggles the Knights had on the glass, the foul line and from the field where they shot a woeful 29.1 percent, their perimeter defense was once again an underlying factor in the defeat. Michigan State shot 8-of-20 from beyond the arc and could have had more had its top-two scorers in guards Travis Trice and Denzel Valentine not shot a combined 4-of-14 with many misses coming on wide open looks. The poor defensive per formance mirrored that of Penn State last Saturday where the Nittany Lions shot 10-of-20 from three. Having suffered back-to-back losses by 20 points or more, the
Knights acknowledged the effort has been lacking. “No, the last two games have been horrible,” said senior forward Kadeem Jack, who finished with a team-high 17 points. “We’ve played really bad, and I think … when you’re losing by double-digits like this at home and on the road, it has a lot to do with effort.” *** Even if Rutgers’ defensive performance had improved, the Knights’ lack of offensive production would still have made a win difficult to come by. Myles Mack’s poor shooting performance was the most notable of the game, with the senior guard being held to seven points on 2-of-10 shooting and 1-of-5 from three-point land. The point total was the first time Mack had been held to less than double digits in back-to-back games, with questions of fatigue continuing to be raised. But Mack credited Michigan State for making things difficult. “They hedged, and they had a lot of help side, so it was hard for me to score,” Mack said of the Spartans’ defense. “But it happens like that sometimes.” With Mack out of the equation, junior guard Bishop Daniels did his best to help offensively, scoring nine points, including two of the Knights’ four threepoint buckets. Having been labeled as questionable following a hip flexor injury Saturday before the Michigan State game was moved to Thursday, it was a promising sign in an otherwise grim day for Rutgers.

MICHELLE KLEJMONT / PHOTO EDITOR “I’m good, I had a couple days of extra rest, and I was fine when I got out here today,” Daniels said. *** The loss to Michigan State makes it five straight defeats for the Knights, the longest losing streak the team has faced under the leadership of Jordan, now in his second season. Rutgers had three separate four-game losing streaks last year in its lone season with the AAC.
Dealing with the grueling gauntlet of games that playing in the Big Ten brings was a major concern for Rutgers. After a surprisingly strong start that included an upset win over then-No. 4 Wisconsin, reality has seemingly kicked in. With their depth continuing to be tested and losing beginning to become the norm, the Knights know their mentality must change. “It wasn’t any different than any other Big Ten team that I’ve
seen, to be honest,” Daniels said when asked about the Spartans’ physicality of play compared to others. “I think that’s one thing that we’re getting used to, and I think we’re allowing ourselves to be more physical too now. But still, we were dead out there tonight.” For updates on the Rutgers men’s basketball team, follow @SeanStewartRU and @TargumSports on Twitter.
WRESTLING NAVY-NO. 22 RUTGERS, TOMORROW, 2 P.M.
Perrotti excites over chance at non-conference foe TYLER KARALEWICH ASSOCIATE SPORTS EDITOR
For football fans, Super Bowl weekend is one of the most anticipated and exciting par ts of the football season. However, this weekend isn’t going to be upbeat for the Rutgers wrestling team because the Patriots play the Seahawks. It’s going to be dif ferent because of who’s coming to New
Brunswick and the College Avenue Gym. A pair of teams will travel to New Jersey this weekend to face the Scarlet Knights in the College Ave Gymnasium, other wise known as the Barn, and that leaves more than one grappler optimistic. Navy (3-3) will face No. 22 Rutgers Saturday afternoon before the No. 4 Buckeyes (9-3) arrive on Super Bowl Sunday.
While one would think junior 197-pounder Andrew Campolattano would be excited to face his former team, the Bound Brook, New Jersey, native has few friends still on the team by his own admission. He said he doesn’t feel any added motivation. “It’s just really another match, for me,” Campolattano said. “It’s another match against a great team. I think we just have to go out and compete hard at every

weight. It doesn’t really have any effect on me.” While Campolattano isn’t that excited for this weekend, other Rutgers grapplers are. One Knight is left salivating over the potential matchup against the Midshipmen — more so than he would any other year. “We were saying the other day how we used to have a tough time with Navy, and now everyone is licking their chops,” said junior Anthony Perrotti. “You have another opponent outside of the Big Ten and you get a little more pumped up.” Navy is a team that should not be taken lightly, and as with any militar y academy, head coach Scott Goodale knows they are competitive. It seems that facing a non-conference opponent leaves some Knights feeling a sense of relief after going against the gauntlet of six-straight Big Ten opponents in the month of January. “Navy always wrestles hard,” Goodale said. “They are in great shape all the time, like all military schools. They have discipline, they are always in great shape and that represents a problem. We’re going to have to wrestle really, really hard.” While going up against two teams in two straight days, on Saturday and Sunday, might be difficult and perceived as a nightmare
for the Knights, Goodale thinks it will help Rutgers. Facing a gritty Navy team and a top-four program in Ohio State in consecutive days, also believes it could be the best test to see what his team is made of. “It’s good to put these matches back-to-back — it’s a good simulation for the national tournament,” Goodale said. “The Big Ten Tournament has back-toback weigh-ins as well. [The two matches this weekend are] two good opportunities to wrestle back at home.” When Rutgers normally faces Big Ten opponents, they are boosted to compete at the Louis Brown Athletic Center. But Ohio State will be the first Big Ten school to compete at the Barn in Rutgers inaugural season in its new conference. “It’s going to be awesome, the Barn is a little bit smaller than the RAC, so it will be packed and it’s going to be loud,” said sophomore 174-pounder Phillip Bakuckas. “I’m looking for ward to it. It’s always a good time at the Barn, and I’m pretty pumped to wrestle in it. I’m ready to go, and I’m pretty pumped up.” For updates on the Rutgers wrestling team, follow @TylerKaralewich and @TargumSports on Twitter.

Eddie Jordan couldn’t believe what he was watching. Rutgers’ head men’s basketball coach slowly inched onto the court as the Scarlet Knights repeatedly failed to box out on the glass. He eventually became livid, his hands agitatedly
“Their defense really got into us, and they’re just a better team — all the way down the line,” head coach Eddie Jordan said once he’d calmed by postgame. “[Michigan State head coach Tom Izzo] is a mentor, he’s a legend. They’ve got a good way of playing.” For the second straight outing, Rutgers’ woeful performance meant the last 10 minutes of play meant next to nothing.
An 18-0 Michigan State (14-7, 5-3) run was the culprit this time. For nine minutes and 45 minutes, the Spartans seemingly toyed with the Knights. They got in Rutgers’ faces, swatted passes and crashed the boards, where they owned a 43-28 advantage. SEE RUN ON PAGE 13
