Newark student creates ‘Rutgers Course Tracker’ NOA HALFF CONTRIBUTING WRITER

A time of great anxiety, stress and confusion, otherwise known as course registration, has been made simpler for college students.

“Rutgers Course Tracker,” an Android application similar to Aaron Rosenheck and Mike Melchione’s “Rutgers Course Watcher,” became available for students to install beginning on Feb. 27. This application enables users to track courses for current or upcoming semesters.

Tevin Jeffrey, a developer, designer and tech enthusiast and a Rutgers-Newark junior majoring in computer science, created the app in mere days when he found his classes had closed and desperation kicked in shortly before the spring semester started.

“The course tracking solutions I found on the Web were either paid or focused on the New Brunswick campus, leaving me, a Rutgers-Newark student, with few options,” Jeffrey said. “So I decided to create my own.”

With “Rutgers Course Tracker,” the user is able to view courses, track sections and be instantly notified of the status of the section. It is available to Rutgers students for the Newark, New Brunswick and Camden campuses.

“Primarily, the app allows students to subscribe to course openings, but it also allows the user to see information about any course, including the instructors, meeting times and even class size, all in a

beautiful, easy to use interface,” Jeffrey said.

The course that a user “watches” will have a logo of an eye which will notify the student on the status of a class every 60 seconds. Students can also manually check the status of watched courses by clicking on the logo. Open courses appear highlighted in green and closed courses appear in red.

Users receive the best chance of enrolling in a class with the constant updates sent straight to their emails or cell phones.

“I owe the speed at which the app was developed to the many open source libraries I used during development,” Jeffrey said. “As such, the app itself is open source for any person, to edit, view and to serve as a guide for Android development using Rutgers servers.”

He chose an Android platform for financial reasons, he said. There are no upfront costs for development compared to an iOS device, where a yearly fee would be necessary.

Jeffrey said he would feel guilty putting a price tag on something he had so much fun working on.

“Since the app is quite small, I can use it to tr y and test the latest technologies in a real world environment,” he said. “As I grow as a software developer, that progress will be reflected in the app free of charge.”

Jeffrey said he hopes to bring a version to iOS devices in the future. He also wants to write a server SEE TRACKER ON PAGE 6

U. senior to run around world KATIE PARK NEWS EDITOR

Beyoncé said girls run the world, but Rutgers student Andrew Rodriguez will prove her wrong as he runs the world, at least, for five weeks.

Rodriguez, a School of Arts and Sciences senior, is embarking on “Run the World 2k15,” a series of five 13-mile half marathons in cities with

high rates of cancer to celebrate his father’s recovery from prostate cancer and the hospital that made it happen. He will start the first half marathon in Paris on March 8 and end with the last half marathon in New Brunswick on April 12.

“My dad, two years ago, was diagnosed with prostate cancer after I came home from my sophomore year,” Rodriguez said. “It was really

hard on my family –– it was really hard on my parents.”

His father underwent a new procedure at a California hospital, City of Hope, where doctors saved his life.

For every mile Rodriguez travels –– he estimates around 25,000, or the circumference of the earth –– he wants to raise a dollar, he said. All proceeds will SEE WORLD ON PAGE 4

Rutgers student athletes ponder potential of being paid to play NATASHA TRIPATHI ASSOCIATE NEWS EDITOR

The average collegiate athlete does not earn a dime for their work. A report by two economists, titled “The Case for Paying College Athletes,” argues this system is not only unfair, but possibly illegal.

The National Collegiate Athletic Association, which regulates 23 sports at 1,200 schools across the U.S., has argued repeatedly that student athletes should be monetarily compensated.

The argument is that a regular salary would “undermine the (educational) purpose of college.” Student athletes are not employees, and their participation in college sports is voluntary,” said Donald Remy, chief legal officer of the NCAA in a press release.

“The purpose of college is for me to get an education and better my future self,” said Joseph Nardella, a School of Arts and Sciences senior and Rutgers lacrosse player. “But there are other sports where kids go to college knowing that they won’t stay the full time and get a degree.”

With the NCAA facing various legal challenges, the prospect of college student athletes being paid to play may be changing.

U. first-year students use Internet more, socialize less SHAZIA MANSURI CONTRIBUTING WRITER

According to a study conducted by the University of California, Los Angeles’ Higher Education Research Institute, incoming college first-year students are spending less time socializing with peers and more time immersed in online activities.

In a survey of more than 153,000 first-years students at 227 universities across the U.S., researchers have found almost 80 percent of students spend five hours or less per week with friends, opting to devote more time to online social networking.

Although some people might view this behavior as anti-social, Anushree Sikchi, a Rutgers Business School first-year student, said she believes peer connections are still taking place, just in a more tech-savvy way.

“I don’t think of the Internet and social media as a way for us (to) avoid in-person socializing, but (instead as) another, equally viable method of communication,” Sikchi said.

First-year students have an increased online presence because they are in a transitional period, balancing long-distance high school friendships, she said.

Her belief that forms of communication, and consequentially forms of socializing, are changing, is supported by a 2012 study where six out of 10 students listed texting as a primary method of communication.

In addition, almost 50 percent of participants preferred online messaging instead of verbal communication, according to the report.

Rahma Tayyab, a School of Arts and Sciences first-year student, said this is similar to her own college experience, as in-person socializing can become mentally draining at times.

“Virtual communication removes the physical person sitting across from you and breaks down walls,” she said. “(This allows) you to form a deeper connection

that otherwise might not have taken place.”

Tayyab said she spends 35 hours per week on the Internet and social media, but still dedicates 10 hours a week toward hanging out with friends.

Although she said that with a busy college lifestyle, it is easier to socialize online, she said she does not believe it can ever replace in-person communication.

Nicole Cameli, a Mason Gross School of the Arts junior, said her experience as a firstyear student deviated from the results of the study.

“As a freshman, I didn’t use the Internet or social media as much because I wanted to socialize more in person and be more active,” she said.

Unlike Sikchi, Cameli said socializing, in the true sense of the word, relies on verbal communication and physical interactions, not online activities.

In-person communication does not allow for precision in language and ideas, Rachel James, a School of Arts and Sciences junior, said.

“Social media is a jumping platform,” she said. “It’s where initial contact is made but then those topics and ideas need to be brought to real life conversation.”

Aside from the focus of online communication, some students also find the rise in Internet use is largely due to the technological advancements that are necessitated in contemporary education.

“I use the Internet about seven hours a week, for academic purposes,” Monika Bagle, a School of Environmental and Biological Sciences, said.

Bagle said it is extremely difficult to be a college student without using the Internet because most professors share grades and homework virtually, which causes her academic obligations to overlap with online use.

In the study, researchers also mentioned a possible link between a decline of face-to-face socializ-

ing and an increase in emotional health issues.

“It seems students are neglecting their social lives … Not having a social outlet may be contributing to increased levels of anxiety, and increased feelings of being over whelmed,” Kevin Eagan, a researcher and professor at UCLA, told Bloomberg Business.

According to a data analysis by Eagan’s team, nearly 10 percent of students reported frequent feelings of depression and anxiety.

The first year could affect a stu-

dent’s emotional well-being, Cameli said.

“I think it’s really stressful because you’re in a new environment and I remember having a lot of anxiety with making friends and getting myself integrated with college community,” she said.

Students who socialize less may feel more isolated, Bagle said. The combined factors of newfound independence and pressures of adulthood can become overwhelming.

Tayyab said first-year students tend to develop stress and anxiety as a result of pressure to become

successful when compared to accomplished upperclassmen peers.

Students may prioritize academic success and devalue connecting and socializing with other college peers, she said.

Looking back on her first year, Cameli said despite intimidation or fear, students should choose to socialize with peers on campus because it leads to self-growth and personal development.

“My advice (to first-years) would be, don’t spend your freshmen year hiding in your room on the Internet,” she said.

POTENTIAL Ruling of several ongoing NCAA legal challenges could alter financial lives of college athletes CONTINUED FROM FRONT

Even though he is busy focusing on classes and studying, Nardella said he considers himself to be a student athlete before an academic student due to the sport’s time requirement and his passion.

He said it is important to gain a college degree because that is what will most likely help him have a career and be successful in the future.

For now, Nardella said it is difficult to juggle his two identities as a student athlete and academic student. He said it is always a time crunch and the lifestyle is difficult to manage and balance without time management skills.

“Really, you just have to do well and prioritize whenever you get your time because you know when you’ll have free time based on your athletic schedule … if you procrastinate, you may not get the chance to do it again. And that’s when your grades start slipping,” he said.

Nardella, whose day does not usually end until 9 p.m., said lacrosse and college classes test him mentally every day.

“You can never just slack or take a personal day,” he said. “You can’t take a day off.”

Christa Evans, a School of Arts and Sciences senior and women’s basketball player, said being a student athlete and college student is not easy, especially when the team travels.

Just like other students, Evans is required to study just as much as a normal student does, travel across the country, go to practice and attend team meetings.

“You miss a ton of class,” she said.

Nardella said there is always conflict between training and prac-

ticing for his sport and doing well in school.

On the bright side, Nardella said he has made relationships with his team members that he expects to last the rest of his life and always feels pushed to train his mind and body.

“Most athletes don’t necessarily feel that they owe the school something, but this is the school that gave them the chance do to their sport in college,” he said.

Regardless, Nardella said he does think the University could accommodate athletes a little more because the sports take up a lot of time and energy.

“I think athletes being paid is going to happen eventually,” said Ken Theobold, a School of Arts and Sciences junior and Rutgers wrestler.

“Whether it’s like a paid Visa card where you can only have certain expenses, but some kind of compensation will happen.”

In the next few years, according to the report, the ruling of several ongoing legal challenges the NCAA faces could alter the financial lives of college athletics.

“I don’t think (paying college athletes) undermines college, I think it helps an athlete who is trying to juggle sports and school,” Theobold said. “I only look at the positive side to it. I haven’t really thought about the negative side to it. As an athlete, I don’t really think being paid would be a bad thing.”

backend, enabling students to have near instantaneous notifications.

Students have shown great interest in the app because of their many difficulties when registering for classes.

“An application such as this one would benefit me along with many other students because with the simple click of a button, I would be able to track all the classes I am trying to register for,” said Shahar Platt, a School of Arts and Sciences first-year student.

First-year students have the last choice for courses and many are excited to download the app.

“As a freshman, it is really difficult to get into classes that I want,” Platt said. “Tracking what is open and what is not would be very helpful.”

Danielle Alter, a School of Ar ts and Sciences first-year student, agreed.

“As an underclassman, registering for courses can be really tough,” Alter said. “By the time students with more credit than me register, classes begin to close and getting into the courses I need gets frustrating.”

Upperclassmen students also found great interest in the app because they struggle to find the courses needed to complete all their requirements when registration opens.

Samantha Moyal, a School of Arts and Sciences junior, has the advantage of registering earlier.

Moyal said although she has no problems registering, she still struggles with finding information on classes she is genuinely interested in considering her hectic student athlete schedule and upcoming graduation.

“I can’t wait to be able to use this app so I can really master registration this coming semester,” Moyal said.

FOOD & DRINK

Sink your teeth in, BurgerFi offers classic American options CORRINE HATTON CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Peering out the window on an EE, you may have noticed a fairly new restaurant on George Street called “BurgerFi.” With heavy course loads and busy schedules, you might not have had the chance to venture out to the new burger joint. Fortunately, I did the leg work for you and tried it for myself.

Walking into the restaurant, I was met with a warm atmosphere with earthy tones. Outside of the establishment and printed on every napkin dispenser, the restaurant advertises a selection of natural burgers, fries, hot dogs, custards, craft beers and wines. They also offer a variety of soft drinks and milkshake-like concoctions they call “concretes.”

I got the classic vanilla milkshake with a BurgerFi burger and fries, a complete BurgerFi meal. The fries were bland, with no special seasonings, and I could tell it was just a fried potato that had been lightly salted. But, the fries do come in large portions.

If you’re counting calories and the prospect of large portions is daunting, BurgerFi’s menu clearly shows

how many calories are in each of their different choices, simplifying the ordering process.

The burger itself was not flavorful, and the ‘special’ BurgerFi sauce added little to my dining experience.

It did not help that they had just run out of ketchup, which they supplemented by offering a small supply of mustard and mayonnaise packets.

Overall, I would say my burger was comparable to a Whopper from Burger King. In terms of drinks, I would consider their lemonade not far in quality from lemonade served at the dining hall.

While the burger did disappoint, my milkshake definitely made up for the whole meal. The milkshake had the perfect consistency, the right amount of thickness and sweetness, reassuring me that this was in-fact real ice cream, and not just a combination of syrups and ice. It was also topped with sprinkles, which added a fun bit of flair.

The menu did not explicitly say that BurgerFi serves milkshakes, but you can ask to have one of the “concretes” blended into a milkshake. A “concrete” was described to me as “a thick assortment of ice cream that is edible.” Although I did

BurgerFi gives customers bang for their buck with its sizable food and drink portions. COLIN PIETERS not understand why the edible part had to be included in the description, it likely pertains to the density of the ice cream.

Overall, this is the kind of place to enjoy a quick bite with a cheap glass of wine or beer (for those 21 and over), or one of their many other non-alcoholic drink options.

The restaurant provides free WiFi to all of its customers, so feel free to surf the Web while sipping on a concrete or eating a burger.

Just make sure to wear long pants, because all of the chairs are metal and can get quite cold, despite the comfortable temperature the restaurant keeps.

Visit the corner of Church Street and George Street if you’re interested in giving this place a try, if not for the burgers, then at least for their concretes.

Netanyahu sparks hysteria with speech to US congress #REALTALK

SARA ZAYED

Y

esterday, Benjamin Netanyahu addressed Congress regarding his opposition to President Obama’s plan for a nuclear agreement with Iran. Huge controversy surrounded this invitation because the Speaker of the House, John Boehner, extended it without consultation or approval by the White House. This is highly significant: A breach of protocol this large has never happened before in the history of our country. Clearly, among other things, it is a result of the changing, increasingly polarized discourse on Israel. When asked whether the Obama administration felt antipathy toward Netanyahu, Boehner said, “They don’t even try to hide it.”

Undeterred, Netanyahu accepted the invitation on Jan. 22, at huge risk to U.S.-Israeli relations. On Jan. 29, he proclaimed, “We are not afraid to determinedly object to the risky agreement that is being formulated between the world powers and Iran.” In saying this, he has injected partisanship politics into U.S.-Israel relations. Furthermore, in the weeks leading up to his visit, he declined to meet with Democratic senators, a direct insult. All this is highly significant because

it represents the dangerous gamble Netanyahu is willing to make to ensure that Iran strictly remains the enemy. But in a more subtle way, it demonstrates the mistrust he feels towards the U.S., and raises questions about what triggered it.

Yesterday Netanyahu gave the speech that many in Washington have been awaiting. First, he claimed that his presence was not meant to be political and lavishly praised Obama for the support he’s received. He harshly criticized Iran and laid the foundation for his claim that a nuclear deal would be so harmful as to be catastrophic. Although the

what Netanyahu’s standards for normal or radical are, given that a 50-day Israeli attack on Gaza — the most densely populated location on the planet — in the summer of 2014 left over 2,200 Palestinians dead, 100,000 displaced and 18,000 homes destroyed.

First of all, there is no substantial evidence that Iran has accumulated enough enriched uranium to produce a nuclear weapon. Second, in the unlikely situation that it acquired or developed one, it is groundless to claim that it would launch a suicidal, potentially apocalyptic war against Israel. Although Netanyahu did not state this outright, in discuss-

“He (Netanyahu) has misrepresented facts, a regular tactic of Israel given its history with Palestine and has been expressing alarm about Iran’s nuclear program for literally decades.” sound bites sound like powerful statements, Netanyahu has not said anything new or of merit. He emphasized that Obama’s deal with Iran would all but guarantee its acquirement of nuclear weapons, repeating statements we hear regularly from Israel, such as “Iran has proved time and time again that it cannot be trusted” and “if Iran wants to be treated like a normal country, it ought to behave like a normal country.” One wonders

ing the danger to Israel and drawing parallels to the Holocaust, he made a clear, direct insinuation. Specifically, he said, “The days when the Jewish people remain passive in the face of genocidal enemies, those days are over.” But all evidence to support this suggestion that “genocidal enemies” exist has regularly and thoroughly been debunked.

Second, Iranian leaders are clearly interested in self-preservation, as is every

nation on earth — a consensus which serious analysts have come to. According to Clifton W. Sherrell of Troy University, “It is highly unlikely that the Islamist regime plans to actually detonate a nuclear weapon in an offensive attack. Both of the obvious targets, the U.S. and Israel, have a second-strike nuclear arsenal capable of threatening the Islamist regime’s survival.” Although Ahmadinejad expressed in the past that Israel should be wiped off the map, he was not responsible for setting Iran’s foreign policy, and his rhetoric wasn’t taken seriously even within Iran.

Netanyahu’s speech, therefore, has contributed to the unfounded hysteria about Iran and its political intentions. He has misrepresented facts, a regular tactic of Israel given its history with Palestine and has been expressing alarm about Iran’s nuclear program for literally decades. One wonders what he and the country he represents stand to gain from this bold and infringing maneuver. Iran has yet to comment on Netanyahu’s address. It remains to be seen in the coming weeks what the repercussions will be and the degree to which it will threaten U.S.-Israel relations — and Israel’s future.

Conservative conference offers millennials perspective COMMON SENSE CONSERVATIVE SERGIO ROJAS

T

his past weekend the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) took place in National Harbor, Md. The conference is one of, if not the most, important yearly events for conservatives and the Republican Party to come to one location and present visions and plans for the future of the country. Members of Congress, governors and presidential hopefuls give rousing speeches to audiences. Panels of experts on topics ranging from cutting taxes to violations of human rights in the LGBT community in Russia are there to inform and educate. Other features of the conference include multiple booths with free giveaways, a job and internship fair, meet and greets with politicians, as well as nightly events of a more informal and carousing nature.

The Rutgers College Republicans are lucky enough to attend CPAC every year as a learning experience and as an opportunity to network with fellow conservatives. Despite RUSA funding us at levels far below any other year in our club’s recent history, several of our club members were still able to make it down this weekend. Some of our first-year members were surprised that such a fun and relevant field trip could even be had here at

“

Rutgers! The activities of our club members over the weekend were almost too numerous and varied to be fully listed. Some of the ones that stand out was a free luncheon for our female members hosted by the Clare Booth Luce Policy Institute to encourage leadership, a meet and greet with billionaire Donald Trump, a hospitality suite hosted by the Republican Party of Maryland and a cocktail hour — for those 21 and over — hosted by Gov. Jeb Bush of Florida.

Some of you may ask, however, exactly why a group of college-age young adults would even be interested in going to CPAC.

the conference, as well as other conservative youth groups, such as Young Americans for Liberty and Young Americans For Freedom.

Cheers of “Rand Paul for President!” were heard at the conference almost exclusively from college-aged individuals. Real conservatives know that the movement doesn’t fit the stereotype of being exclusive and homogenous. Conservatives are indeed diverse and are becoming increasingly so.

Nonetheless there are some real differences between the younger generation of conservatives/Republicans. At CPAC excessively harsh condemnations of gay marriage

“Cheers of ‘Rand Paul for President!’ were heard at the conference almost exclusively from college-aged individuals.

Real conservatives know that the movement doesn’t fit the stereotype of being exclusive and homogenous.”

Aren’t conservatives just old white men? Aren’t millennials all liberal Democrats? The answer to these questions and any other curious concerns is no. Of course, the old white men (as well as old white women, and old men and women of other races) do attend the conference. Nonetheless, every year I am pleased and not really surprised with the strong presence of people my own age at the conference. The College Republican clubs from almost all the states attend

were met by standing ovations from those who appeared to already be collecting Social Security checks and with awkward uncomfortable silence from those my own age. The American Conservative Union (ACU), the organization that hosts the convention, has been in a battle each year with the Log Cabin Republicans (conservative gay and lesbian organization) to make them a host and sponsor.

An article in the New Republic details how although the ACU didn’t make the Log Cabin

Republicans sponsors this year, they conceded by letting one of the organization’s members speak on a panel at CPAC. Although this is a step forward, next year the ACU should take an even bigger step and make them full time sponsors.

The conservative movement has a literal gold mine of voters to tap into when it comes to millennials. Most people in college are worried about things like finding jobs and being able to afford a comfortable life that’s better, if not at least on par with the one in which they were raised. The world has also become increasingly dangerous with the spread of radical Islam and an aggressive Russia. The last six years of President Obama’s foreign policy have been an abysmal failure, and I think most youth would agree a stronger and more conservative foreign policy is needed.

The conservative movement has the ears of youth who are alienated and not convinced by liberalism. Now all they have to do is win them over by offering policies that are less discriminatory when it comes to social issues, since almost all millennials are socially liberal (or at least moderate). If the right steps are taken by the movement, future CPACS will have greater and greater presence by people of my generation.

KNIGHTS Jack, Mack combine for 2-of-23 field goal margin as Rutgers falters on Senior Night CONTINUED FROM BACK jumpers in the first seven minutes of play. Along with a career-high 14 points, he cleaned up several plays with seven rebounds — four on the offensive end.

Arguably none was bigger than his tip-in off a missed jumper from Jack in the lane with 7:35 left in regulation, cutting Maryland’s (25-5, 134) lead to three just before Mack’s deep trey capped a 7-0 run.

“I knew I was going to be open,” Lewis said. “I knew that their bigs like to sag in and defend the paint.

That midrange is kind of my sweet spot, and I knew it was going to be open.”

Unfortunately for the Knights, they accounted even less for Maryland’s Dez Wells.

The athletic 6-foot-5 wing dominated the night with 20 points and 10 rebounds. He went on a 6-0 spurt of his own after Mack tied the game, converting a jump shot and two free throws followed by a steal and dunk in transition.

Lewis contributed another tipin to keep Rutgers within three with 114 seconds left, but unable to stroke another big shot, the Knights had no choice but to foul for the final minute.

“Dez Wells took over the game — last two-and-a-half, three-and-a-half minutes,” said head coach Eddie Jordan. “That’s what really, really good players do.”

Still, the fact Rutgers had only one lead and spent 24 minutes of play fighting back after it slipped away was what really spoke to the disparity between the two teams.

After Maryland raced to a 7-2 lead in the opening 2:38, Lewis knocked down a pair of baseline jumpers — one on a nice drive and kick-out from Mack — before Mack knocked down a trey to make it a one-possession game.

Mike Williams tied the score on a jumper from the wing, and then the freshman guard stole an inbound pass with Rutgers employing full-court pressure. He instantly scooped in a layup to give the Knights a three-point lead midway through the first half.

Effort was there for Rutgers, but the team’s most consistent problem all season long — shooting inefficiency — once again came back to bite them.

Jack and Mack shot a combined 2-for-23 from the field. As a whole, the Knights shot 32.2 percent, and it didn’t help that turnovers on a few lazy entry passes in the first half shifted momentum back in Maryland’s favor.

Although the Terrapins only 38.6 percent themselves, at once point missing 11 straight shots in the second half, their talent ultimately shined through with three scorers in double figures.

With only one regular season game remaining Saturday at Mich-

LIFE Gardner served as Rutgers’ hitting coach for 18 years before switching roles CONTINUED FROM BACK He didn’t play another game.

“I got three years with the Braves and I did well. I could hit,” Gardner said. “I played outfield, then they decided I wasn’t fast enough. So, I played third base, but they decided I could field well enough. Then I ended up at first base, and that’s where I took the ball to the eye. I can’t see out of it — my depth is bad — so I couldn’t hit anymore, so then I became a coach.” *** With his baseball career permanently ending, Gardner said the next part of his life gave him the most satisfaction and purpose.

Gardner turned to the one man who gave him a chance when there were only three scholarships to give. This time, head coach Fred Hill welcomed Gardner on the one-man coaching staff soon after the injur y.

It started out difficult for Gardner. He knew how to hit at the plate, but helping student-athletes learn to do it — that was more challenging. It only took him a year to adjust, he said.

After that adjustment period, things took off and Gardner never had a bad day of work.

“I talk to people all the time, and I tell them injury was probably the best thing that ever happened to me,” Gardner said. “People laugh and question me, ‘What could you possibly mean?’ But I would have never became a coach and I liked coaching more than I liked play-

ing. I never had an 0-for-4 day as a coach, but it was challenging figuring out how to fix kid’s hitting problems — but when you did, it was like having a 4-for-4 day. That’s the stuff I get a kick out of. That was better than any home run I hit. I never expected to help people like that in my life.”

Gardner loved it so much he did it for 18 years. He said he enjoyed being the calming influence in the lives of his student-athletes.

Gardner developed into one of the most renowned hitting minds in baseball, evidenced by countless players drafted and several selected in the early rounds.

Head coach Joe Litterio said nothing has changed with Beef since the current skipper arrived at Rutgers in the early 1990s as an infielder. If Litterio ever needed anything, he asked Gardner who always obliged.

Gardner stills helps to this day, but in a more limited role.

“Beef is the epitome of the program,” Litterio said. “He’s been a part of this program his entire life and he hasn’t changed. Back in the day, he was the guy you go to when you were upset, and you jumped on his back. He was always a guy who would straight talk you, tell you how to get better and would work with you to get better. He was there for the players and still is today.”

While times have changed since Litterio last played for the Knights, Beef has always remained a constant in the dugout — the only thing that changed is his role.

igan, Rutgers has become all too familiar with that narrative.

“The effort was there from the beginning,” said Mack, who ended his RAC career with only eight

points in 39 minutes. “Guys came out with a lot of energy — Junior [Etou], Jack, ever ybody did — and it’s amazing what we can do when put the effort there. We’ve

just got to put the ball in the basket more.”

Gardner now holds the title of Director of Baseball Operations, a job he is even more grateful to have.

However, things took a turn for the worse for Beef and then came the second time he struck out. *** Still wearing his coach’s windbreaker and baseball pants, Gardner is in no rush these days and takes his spot at practice he’s had for the last seven years. He looks like a shell of his 6-foot-1 frame and weighs much lighter than his 205-pound playing weight.

Gardner doesn’t walk as well as he used to and he needs the help of a cane — a modified Louisville Slugger bat — to move around. He arrives at practice and everyone knows the hitting genius has arrived.

Sophomore starting shortstop Christian Campbell, like many other Knights, never misses an opportunity to talk to Beef. Although Gardner isn’t listed as a coach, he still guides the team.

“Beef is just a great guy allaround,” Campbell said. “Whenever he is around, he puts a smile on everyone’s face with his crazy, wacky stories he has. He’s a mentor and keeps our head into the games.

He’s been through everything as a player and coach and knows a lot.

You have open ears when you listen to Beef talk.” *** Multiple sclerosis, or MS, is a chronic autoimmune disorder that affects over two million people in the world.

Glen Gardner, age 48, is one of those people.

MS is characterized as an inflammatory disease that damages the nerves in one’s brain and spine, affecting the way those diagnosed with it live their everyday lives.

For Gardner, it meant he physically couldn’t coach anymore.

Director of Baseball Operations Glen Gardner said coaching and helping players feels better than any home run he ever hit.

RUTGERS ATHLETIC COMMUNICATIONS

With what seems like the second of two major obstacles in his life, Gardner feels no regret about how his journey ended up. Losing his chance at the MLB led him to become one of the most respected hitting coaches in the nation, and leaving coaching afforded him a second lease on life.

“That’s when I got sick — I got MS,” Gardner said. “It wasn’t a switch because I wanted to, I had to.

I’m thankful because they could have just given me the boot. I can’t really do anything else and I was here for so long. So, if not for the second chance, I would be home collecting disability with nothing to do. I still get a kick out of watching these kids play, but people ask me if I’m sad about how I couldn’t play baseball or coach anymore. … I do know that there’s a lot of bad stuff that goes on in this world, but I’m doing okay.” ***

During pick-off drills at practice, Beef, in his normal spot, motions for a pitcher to come over after he goes to retrieve the baseball that flew over the third baseman’s head.

He doesn’t yell because the player did something wrong — that would be counterproductive, Gardner says. Coaches always yelled growing up and Gardner claims that’s the wrong way to coach.

With words of encouragement, he says, “You can do it. You will get it. Just remember, it’s better to miss low than high — these guys will scoop it.”

The player runs off with a smile and says, “Thanks for the help, Beef.”

He may not be swinging bats anymore, but Beef is still hitting it out of the park.

RU pulls positives from defeat KEVIN XAVIER ASSOCIATE SPORTS EDITOR

Players and coaches don’t believe in moral victories, but they believe in progress, they believe in building on positives and they believe in playing with pride.

The Rutgers men’s lacrosse team lost to Army yesterday, 9-7.

That’s what the box score will read, but it doesn’t tell the story.

The Scarlet Knights were defeated by a No. 9 Army program that came to the banks with a bad taste in its mouth. Last season, Rutgers shocked the Black Knights with an overtime win at West Point.

Army played angr y early and often.

In the first quar ter, the Black Knights poured the pressure on the Scarlet Knights’ defense. Army cashed in, netting three goals to take an early 3-1 advantage.

The Knights of the Hudson extended their advantage by tacking on three more in the second period to garner a 6-1 lead with 5:42 left in the half.

For Rutgers, it was an eerily familiar feeling.

It would have been easy for the Scarlet Knights to fold up the tent, pack up the bags and back up the truck.

But this wasn’t the same old Rutgers team that stumbled to a 13-10 win over Wagner, nor was it the Scarlet Knights squad that landed in the wrong part of the history books after falling to Monmouth, 10-9, on Saturday for the Hawks’ first Division I win.

Instead, a new team emerged from the depths of disaster to elevations previously unseen.

It began with two man-up goals from senior midfielder Brian Goss in a 58-second span to cut the margin to three.

According to senior face-off specialist Joe Nardella, the two

quick scores ignited the Knights.

“Goss ended up burying those two (goals) and we got pumped up and were able to make it a competitive game,” Nardella said.

Army added a goal to take a 7-3 halftime lead, but Rutgers roared back in the second half.

It began with two goals by freshman attacker Jules Heningburg and Scott Bieda in the third quarter. Bieda followed by striking for the second time in the fourth quarter to keep the Knights stride-for-stride with an upper-echelon Army team.

The junior attacker was jazzed up after his second goal.

“I was thinking, ‘We got this.

Let’s roll off this and let’s push this thing,’” Bieda said.

After Army pushed its lead back to three, junior attacker Ryan Hollingsworth dropped the hammer to narrow the deficit to two with under five minutes to play.

The remainder of the match was highly contested. The Black Knights repeatedly tried to push into Rutgers end, but only to be repelled.

While the visitors held on for the 9-7 victory, the Scarlet Knights proved to themselves that they could play with any opponent in the country — and it started on defense.

After surrendering seven first half goals, Rutgers relinquished only two in the second half, limiting an Army squad that averaged nearly 16 goals per game entering the contest.

“I have confidence that, if I make a mistake, I know the guys behind me have my back,” Bieda said. “I have full confidence in our defense to make the stops.”

The concerns with the goaltending position, for the time being, may have been quelled.

After a slow start from junior Jake Andersen — registering just three first half saves while letting

seven goals sneak by — the goaltender was stout in the second stanza, saving six shots and allowing only three goals against.

Bieda was pleased with Rutgers’ per formance on the back end.

“We sured it up on defense and Jake Anderson had a big day in goal for us which was huge,” he said.

Nardella agreed, saying this game was a step in the right direction.

“Army is a very talented team, ranked in the top-10 and we showed ourselves we can play with anyone as long as we take the right approach during the week before the game to prepare,” Nardella said. “We were pretty far away from where we wanted to be after the Monmouth game on Saturday, but after today I think we’re a lot closer and headed in the right direction.”

Head coach Brian Brecht said his team needs to look at every game as an individual season, attempting to go 1-0 every week.

“I think every game is different,” Brecht said. “We knew we needed to play a better game and we did that. We battled late into the fourth quarter against a top10 program.”

The Knights will face a new challenge on Sunday when they take on Stony Brook at High Point Solutions Stadium.

The names and colors may look the same between both squads, but this unit from Piscataway appears to be a different team now.

And Scott Bieda agrees.

“If we play together and play to our ability, we’re a whole new ballgame it’s a whole new team,” he said.

March 4, 2015 MEN’S BASKETBALL KNIGHT NOTEBOOK

Role players’ performance provide hope for future at Rutgers SEAN STEWART CORRESPONDENT

In what was the final home game for two of the most decorated players in Rutgers men’s basketball history, seniors Kadeem Jack and Myles Mack, an already special night had the chance to be something more with a No. 10 team in Mar yland coming into Piscataway.

After all, the last time a top-10, nationally ranked team played in the Louis Brown Athletic Center, it was the Scarlet Knights who came out on top for the biggest upset in program history.

Unfortunately for Rutgers, there was no spectacular finish, no delayed court storming and no signature win to cap off the seniors’ final home game.

What the night did show, however, was light at the end of the tunnel.

For a team used to relying on Mack and Jack for points production, it was the Knights’ role players that shouldered the load.

Leading the way was junior center Greg Lewis, who scored a career-high 14 points on 6-of-10 shooting from the field.

Of those points, several came at timely junctures throughout the game, keeping Rutgers firmly in contention until the closing minute.

Lewis also displayed his ability to knock shots down from mid-

range, sinking several baseline jump shots.

“He does it in practice, he does a lot of great things for us defensively, but he’s not necessarily a post up, power guy in the paint,” said head coach Eddie Jordan about Lewis postgame.

“He will get some rebounds, but I think his niche is making that perimeter shot like he did tonight.

Took him all year just to get loose I guess, but he just has to feel confident and be a little bit loose with it.”

The Knights also got valuable minutes from junior guard Bishop Daniels and freshman guard Mike Williams off the bench, both providing six points in the first half.

Mack and Jack combined for just three total first half points, and yet Rutgers trailed by single-digits at the break thanks to its role players.

With many voicing concern over the future of the program after its star senior duo’s depar ture, tonight’s performance at least provides a glimmer of hope.

“I’m just a little bit (more confident). I just put in the time, the extra time in the gym. It just felt easy tonight.” Lewis said. “…

It definitely builds on my confidence, but we as a team, we’re going to get in the gym and continue to better ourselves as a team.” ***

Another promising sign from the Knights despite their now 13th straight defeat –– the second-worst losing streak in program history — was their effort and energy from start to finish.

Rutgers had dropped fivestraight at home entering tonight, with four of the last five defeats coming by an average margin of 19.8 points.

But whether it was diving for loose balls or getting back in transition, the Knights matched Maryland’s energy frame for frame, despite the Terrapins having seemingly more crowd support than the home team.

That effort was shown most on the boards, with Rutgers outrebounding Maryland, 42-38. That included 20 offensive rebounds for 21 second-chance points against the Big Ten’s second best defensive rebounding team.

Though Jack’s career-high 16 rebounds had something to do with the advantage on the glass, the ef for t was something Jordan made sure to praise from the moment he star ted talking postgame.

“We had to play perfect basketball and we didn’t play perfect basketball (to win), Jordan said.

“But we gave great effort … and our guys went to the boards. We just fought tooth and nail.” *** While Jack and Mack garnered most of the attention, it was

also Malick Kone’s final game on the RAC hardwood.

The senior guard played an instrumental role with seven points off the bench during Rutgers’ historic win over Wisconsin Jan. 11 and started both halves for the Knights.

He shot just 1-of-4 from the field, but did knock down a threepoint shot early in the second half, just his third three-point field goal this season.

Though Kone admitted he would have liked to play more af-

ter sinking that shot, he said his time at Rutgers has been special.

“I have to control my emotions,” Kone said. “I’m happy and I am blessed to be here and end this way because I know there are a lot of kids who wish they could be in my spot right now ... I appreciate that.”

MEN’S BASKETBALL MARYLAND 60, RUTGERS 50,

Knights fight Terps until closing minutes GREG JOHNSON CORRESPONDENT

It looked like magic was in the air when Myles Mack knocked down a nearly impossible three-pointer with two Maryland defenders draped all over him, evening the score at 45 in what had been a dogfight all night long for the Rutgers men’s basketball team.

After all, this was Senior Night for the Scarlet Knights, and it showed.

Rutgers’ effort and intensity on both ends of the floor — especially in transition — were there for 40 minutes. A 42-38 rebounding advantage, 21 second-chance points and almost everything the 10th-ranked team in the country could handle proved it.

So as the Knights hung tough with the Terrapins, it was only fitting that Mack, a graduating guard and one of the most accomplished players in program history, came up clutch with 6:01 remaining.

But as quickly as the Louis Brown Athletic Center exploded into a frenzy, Maryland calmly regained command with an 8-0 run in less than three minutes and an eventual 60-50 win Tuesday in Piscataway.

The Knights (10-20, 2-15) were left to cope with the crushing of a storybook ending at home that could have salvaged much of what has been a trying inaugural Big Ten campaign.

“We wanted this win so bad,” said junior center Greg Lewis. “It’s heartbreaking, man, that we couldn’t get it for Kadeem [Jack] and Myles, and Stephen [Zurich] and Malick [Kone] as well.”

Lewis played like it, setting the tone early for Rutgers by converting three baseline Myles Mack pushes the ball past a defender to the right wing last night against Maryland.

BASEBALL GLEN “BEEF” GARDNER HAS SPENT 28 YEARS AT RU AS PLAYER, COACH AND DIRECTOR OF PLAYER OPERATIONS

Gardner shares optimism on life at RU TYLER KARALEWICH CORRESPONDENT

Glen Gardner struck out only two times in his life, and it was not on a baseball diamond.

But before the man who came to be known as “Beef” was selected by the Atlanta Braves in the 1988 Major League Baseball Draft out of Rutgers, Gardner began his story with what felt as good as a standup triple.

The Immaculata High School (N.J.) product recorded a hit in nearly 70 percent of his high school at-bats — a .676 batting average — while also being named All-State team two times. Those accolades alone proved significant enough for Gardner to earn a full scholarship to Rutgers — one of three that former head coach Fred Hill was allotted at the time.

While at Rutgers, Beef cemented himself as one of the top hitters in school history.

He ended his career cracking the top-10 in all hitting categories for the Scarlet Knights, and remains in more than half of those categories to this day.

Gardner played down his accomplishments at the collegiate level, despite it eventually leading to him being drafted in the 13th round of the MLB Draft.

From parking lot practices to a Fred Hill baseball facility breaking ground this spring, Gardner has been through every change in the Rutgers program and college baseball as a whole.

“Things have changed quite a bit since I came as a player back in ’85,” Gardner said. “Baseball was just taking of f — it wasn’t big time like it is now. When I left here, I had almost ever y one of the top10 lists. Not because I was this great player — I did fine — but because they didn’t play as much before me. We star ted play-

ing the 60-game schedule and making the NCAA Regionals. People would pat me on the back, but there were just more opportunities under Coach Hill.” *** After spending three years in the minor leagues, Glen Gardner struck out of the first time in his life. Gardner played on three different levels for the Braves, making it through the Rookie division and both Class-A teams.

Striking out at the plate was tough enough for Beef, but what happened next would be difficult for anyone to handle.

Taking the field at first base, after being an outfielder his whole life, Gardner endured his first true test of adversity. A batted ball that snuck up on him too quickly ended his professional baseball aspirations.
