U. PLAYERS PUT OFF ACADEMIC ASPIRATIONS; PURSUE SHORT CAREER IN SPORTS BY EVERYDAY I'M TRUFFLIN' NEWS EDITOR
NEW BRUNSWICK -- It was a day of celebration for many this past weekend as several Rutgers football players decided to forgo future academia and try for a short sports career. All eight issued separate statements that they each wished to avoid the chance of adding to mounting tuition debt and living to what many say is a mediocre life for the opportunity to play a sport that could easily end in as little as a week. “Yeah I’m super excited to play football,” said Jawan Jameson, “I am truly blessed to make a name for myself in NFL. The Patriots are a great team and I can’t wait to get started on a great NFL career” Commissioner of the National Football League Roger Goodell was asked by reporters about what incentive gives these athletes the drive to avoid a low paid internship and years of

Mural Drawn to Reflect Community's Diversity; Rampant Racism BY LIL' BIT MANAGING EDITOR
NEW BRUNSWICK -- A new mural on Louis Street has been designed to reflect the vibrant, diverse residents of the New Brunswick community as well as the shameless racists that populate it. The painted scene, which features people of all ages, creeds and levels of unabashed bigotry, was created to show off the diverse cast of characters that comprise the Hub City. In one corner of the mural, citizens are shown performing a traditional Flamenco dance in authentic garb. In another, a woman can be seen staring shiftily at a black man while they both stand in line at the post office. Not to be left out, the mural also features an artistic render-
ing of the group of alcoholic Mexican men that can often be seen hanging around the old rock quarry. “The mural really captures the essence of this city, and that essence is visceral, grimy, and absolutely rank with racial tension,” said the mural’s artist Di-
ego Ramirez. Ramirez was sure to include a representation of the community’s large Indian population in his painting. “The dot heads, not the casino owners,” he quickly clarified.
