U. remembers 9/11 victims at memorial AVALON ZOPPO CONTRIBUTING WRITER

For Rahul Vinayak, Sept. 11, 2001 was a career-defining day.

The Rutgers Business School senior was in fifth grade on the day of the attacks 13 years ago and was inspired by the selfless acts of the 343 firefighters who perished.

Vinayak attended the “9/11 Never Forget Memorial” yesterday at Voorhees Mall on the College Avenue campus.

The senior is now a firefighter for the North Brunswick Fire Department.

“On 9/11, my fire department in North Brunswick went to the city,” he said. “They dug through the rubble and slept in their fire truck for three nights. It was brutal, but worth it.”

He called the firefighters “local and national heroes” and knew that as soon as he became old enough to join, he had to be one of them.

Alex Newell, who plays Wade “Unique” Adams on the TV program “Glee,” performed at last night’s “LGBTQA Fall Reception.”

The actor explored his struggle to fit in and accept his sexuality.

Rutgers celebrated the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer community and its allies at the reception, which welcomed new and returning members of the University’s LGBTQ association at the College Avenue Student Center.

The purpose of the reception is to not only get other students involved, but also to help students find where they belong on campus.

“It’s impor tant to find a place where you fit in and feel like family,” Newell said.

For tunately, Rutgers has many programs students can get involved with to find their place.

Trans*missions is a student group at the University for transgender, queer and gender variant individuals and their allies.

Natasha Payano, a School of Arts and Sciences senior, is the primary officer of the organization. She started the organization last year with her transsexual boyfriend.

“We have a really good population of students who are actually ver y interested,” she said. “We welcome anyone really. People who are trans or aren’t really sure about their identity.”

Trans*missions also focuses heavily on the health aspects of being a transgender individual.

Last year, the group held a panel SEE RECEPTION ON PAGE 5

Many conferences bring in one or two speakers, but the Mark Conference invites more than 20 speakers.

That format makes the conference more diversified.

Both Rosemarie Truglio, senior vice president of Education and Research at Sesame Workshop, and Joe DiPietro, Tony Award-winning producer, are Rutgers alumni that Student Life has talked to and discussed having as speakers.

MARK CONFERENCE

The Mark Conference, scheduled for Feb. 28, is a leadership experience meant to inspire students to make their mark on the world now, rather than after college.

Ginese said the conference preparation is a leadership training experience itself.

“We wanted to make sure you know where we’re coming from.

The conference is managed by [Student Life] Leadership, but it’s run completely by students,” she said.

As the Rutgers-Penn State rivalr y intensifies, so are rumors on campus.

Penn State sold its entire allotment of student tickets for tomorrow’s game, according to Onward State, Penn State’s student-run blog. Since then, many Scarlet Knight fans speculated that Happy Valleyers “rented out” several popular bars of f campus.

Mike’s Courtside Tavern is scheduled to host an “Alumni and Friends Mixer” tonight at 7 p.m., according to Penn State Alumni Association’s website.

In response to the gossip, student hotspot Huey’s Knight Club Tweeted, “… we’re definitely not “rented out”. [sic] #rumors.”

Knight Club manager Lucas Picking said rather then renting out, the bar plans to host a “Red Carpet Party” featuring a photo booth and t-shirt giveaways.

“If you walk into Knight Club, it’s by far the most decked out on Rutgers’ campus … There’s no question

where our allegiance is,” he said.

Other bars, such as Golden Rail, Olive Branch and Kelly’s Korner, will open earlier to the public and offer drink specials.

Bill Bliziotis, manager of the

Olde Queens Tavern-owned BlitzBurgers, said his establishment is loyal to the Scarlet Knights.

“We don’t take Penn State. We don’t take anyone else,” he said. “We’re die hard Rutgers.”

Rumors spreading around campus inaccurately accused Huey’s Knight Club of allowing Penn State fans to exclusively rent out the bar for game day. DENNIS ZURAW / STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER

“Targum” is an Aramaic term for “interpretation.”

The name for the University’s daily paper came to be after one of its founding members heard the term during a lecture by then-Rutgers President William H. Campbell. On Jan. 29, 1869, more than 140 years ago, the Targum — then a monthly publication, began to chronicle Rutgers history and has become a fixture in University tradition. The Targum began publishing daily in 1956 and gained independence from the University in 1980.

RECOGNITION For years, the Targum has been among the most prestigious newspapers in the country. Last year, these awards included placing first in the Associated Collegiate Press National College Newspaper Convention Best of Show award category for four-year daily newspapers.

U. alumni make list of top contributors in Teach For America CARLEY ENS CORRESPONDENT

It takes a ver y special person to be a teacher, said Dana Cronyn, Teach for America campus campaign coordinator.

A TFA press release recognized Rutgers-New Brunswick as one of the largest universities in the countr y for contributing the most alumni to this year’s teaching corps.

This is the first time Rutgers has made such a list. Rutgers came in at number 18, supplying TFA with more qualified graduates than New York University or Ohio State University.

At 73 alumni members, the University of Michigan-Ann Arbor contributed the greatest number of alumni to the corps, among the larger schools.

Being a par t of TFA is more than a job, Cronyn said. It is a life commitment.

Elisa Villanueva Beard, coCEO of Teach For America, said more than 50,000 graduates applied to TFA this year, and about 5,300 were accepted.

Her role with TFA is to search for exceptional future teachers at colleges and universities.

According to the press release, 10,600 members will be

teaching in 50 dif ferent regions this fall. The 5,300 incoming corps members come from more than 850 colleges and universities and 49 states, as well as the District of Columbia.

TFA begins this recruitment process by simply having conversations with students and encouraging them to apply.

Half this year’s corps members identify as people of color, with 22 percent identifying as black, 13 percent identifying as Latino, 6 percent as Asian-American or Pacific Islander and 6 percent as multi-racial.

Forty-seven percent of incoming corps members received

Rutgers’s concern with diversity fosters the identities of its students and is reflective of the teaching corps, Cronyn said. The nature of Rutgers students makes them a strong fit for the corps.

Cronyn said TFA members must understand the educational inequity that exists

“This is our most diverse corps yet — we really value the breadth of experience and identity that they’ll bring to the classroom.”

ELISA VILLANUEVA BEARD Co-CEO of Teach For America

The organization hopes by students’ senior years, they will be able to identify the most pressing issues in the educational world and, in turn, want to help make a dif ference.

Cronyn said TFA looks for qualities, such as perseverance, passion and dedication, in potential members of the teaching corps.

“With Rutgers making the list, we see many students with these qualities,” Cronyn said.

According to the press release, this year’s teaching corps was comprised of the most diverse set of volunteers.

federal Pell Grants for low-income students and graduates, and 33 percent are the first in their families to attend college.

Beard said in the press release the organization appreciated the wide selection of colleges that donated graduates.

“This is our most diverse corps yet — we really value the breadth of experience and identity that they’ll bring to the classroom,” she said.

TFA has a network of more than 37,000 alumni, 86 percent of whom work full-time in education or with low-income communities.

around them and seek to act on those issues.

With areas like Camden, Newark and Trenton a short distance from campus, she finds Rutgers students have a frontrow seat to such disparities.

Students accepted into TFA are found to be actively engaged with and passionate about minimizing educational inequity, she said.

TFA ensures students in these areas have exceptional teachers and proper education.

“Great teachers act as a lever for low-income students to become successful,” Cronyn said.

Ar thur Casciato, director of the Of fice of Distinguished Fellowships, said the University is proud of all students who have been selected by TFA this year.

He said some of his most successful fellowship candidates started out working for TFA. One of these individuals, Matthew Cor tland, worked with TFA in Miami for two years before going on to win Rutgers’ first-ever Luce Scholarship.

Cor tland could not be reached for comment, but Casciato said he soon plans to travel to Ireland for a year of graduate school suppor ted by the Mitchell Scholarship, also another Rutgers first.

“I don’t think he would have done so well if he hadn’t put in the time working with kids at schools in Miami,” Casciato said.

Kelly Ruf fenach, a School of Engineering sophomore, is a member and representative of the organization Out in Science, Technology, Engineering & Mathematics. As an organization, oSTEM works to educate and identify with students who are a par t of the LGBTQ community, specifically those interested in the STEM fields.

The organization connects to students through mentorship connections, networking communities, strategic collaborations and leadership development.

“We really want to connect with and open up to all dif ferent types of students so they feel as though they have a place where they belong,” Ruf fenach said. “We don’t just get science majors. We even had a music major join this year.”

Perhaps one of the most concentrated and specific organization is the Queer & Asian organization and LLEGO, the LGBTQ organization for people of color. Both organizations appreciate and celebrate individuals who not only belong to the LGBTQ community, but also the black and Asian community.

Linsey Goon and Vingie Magdael are representatives for the Queer & Asian organization.

“I joined my freshman year, so I was pretty lucky,” said Goon, a School of Ar ts and Sciences senior. “I have had a suppor t group and family since I have been going to college from the star t.”

Magdael, a School of Ar ts and Sciences junior, joined the Queer & Asian organization this year.

“I wish I knew about this organization when I was a first year,” he said, “It is so comforting to know that I belong somewhere.”

Dani Mardini, a School of Engineering junior, is not only the co-president of the Queer Student Alliance, but also a par t of the Delta Lambda Phi, the fraternity for gay, bisexual and progressive men.

“Aside from my actual blood, these guys are my family,” Mardini said. “I honestly don’t know what I would do without them.”

Delta Lambda Phi is involved with The Trevor Project, which provides crisis inter vention and suicide prevention ser vices to LGBTQ ages 13 to 24.

“I cannot speak for anyone’s injustice that they feel on campus,” he said. “I am a gay, white male, and my struggles are completely dif ferent from those of a transgendered, black woman. I can only say that QSA and Delta Lambda Phi [are] accepting communities for anyone who feels they want to belong.”

The passion from the conference is translated into many outlets, she said, depending on each person’s interest.

“That fire or that feeling is different than the person next to you,” she said.

Laverne Cox, a transgender rights activist and actress, spoke at the last conference thanks to RUSA’s funding, she said. They were lucky to invite her when they did — she now commands six or seven times last year’s price.

Obama announces plans for US military action against ISIS The United States signed up Arab allies yesterday to a “coordinated militar y campaign” against Islamic State fighters, a major step in building regional support for President Barack Obama‘s plan to strike both sides of the Syrian-Iraqi frontier.

After talks in Saudi Arabia’s summer capital Jeddah, Secretar y of State John Kerr y won backing from 10 Arab countries — Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon and six Gulf states including rich rivals Saudi Arabia and Qatar — for a coalition to fight the Sunni militants that have seized swathes of Iraq and Syria.

“Arab nations play a critical role in that coalition, the leading role really across all lines of effort: military support, humanitarian aid, our work to stop the flow of illegal funds,” Kerry told a news conference.

Non-Arab Sunni power Turkey also attended the Jeddah talks, but two other major regional players — Shi’ite Iran and Syria itself — were excluded, a sign of the difficulty of building a coalition across the Middle East‘s sectarian battle lines.

The Arab states agreed in a communique to do more to stop the flow of funds and fighters to Islamic State and help rebuild communities “brutalized” by the group.

“The participating states agreed to do their share in the comprehensive fight against ISIL, including ... as appropriate, joining in the many aspects of a coordinated militar y campaign against ISIL,” they said, using the acronym for Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant, a former name for the group.

Kerr y met the Arab leaders to drum up support a day after

Obama announced his plans to strike fighters in Iraq and Syria.

U.S. officials said Kerr y also sought permission to make more use of bases in the region and fly more warplanes overhead, issues that were not mentioned in the communique. Kerr y said none of the countries in the coalition would send ground troops.

In a hopeful sign of outreach across the sectarian divide that has spread war across the Middle East and fed Islamic State‘s militancy, Sunni Saudi Arabia said it might open an embassy in Shi’ite-ruled Iraq after decades of suspicion.

The Saudis, who support other Sunni armed movements in Syria but consider Islamic State a terrorist group, have also promised to help Obama’s campaign by providing training camps for moderate Syrian Sunni fighters.

But Iran, the main Shi’ite power in the Middle East and supporter of Syria’s President Bashar al-Assad, said it had severe reser vations over the new U.S.-led coalition, and doubted it would fight “the root causes of terrorism,” which it blames squarely on Sunni Arab states like Saudi Arabia.

Obama announced his plans in a prime time address on Wednesday to build an alliance to root out Islamic State in both Syria and Iraq, plunging the United States into two conflicts in which nearly every country in the Middle East has a stake.

The region has been galvanized since June when Islamic State fighters, already in control of much of Syria, swept through northern Iraq, seizing cities, slaughtering prisoners and proclaiming a “caliphate” that would rule over all Muslims.

U.S. President Barack Obama delivers a live televised address to the nation on his plans for military action against the Islamic State. REUTERS The White House says the group is a threat to the West as well, attracting fighters from around the world who could return to carry out attacks at home.

Islamic State is a Sunni group that embraces a radical vision of a Middle East ruled along 7th centur y precepts. Its fighters are battling a Shi’ite-led government in Iraq and a Syrian government led by Assad, a follower of an offshoot of Shi’ite Islam.

They are also fighting against more moderate Sunnis in Syr-

ia and against Kurds on both side of the frontier.

An alliance against Islamic State is bound to require cooperation from countries that consider each other enemies. Washington itself supports the Shi’ite-led government in Iraq but opposes Assad in Syria; it is allied to most Sunni Arab states while hostile to Iran.

A State Department official traveling with Kerr y said the top U.S. diplomat would the ask allies to make room for U.S.

militar y activity: “We may need enhanced basing and overflights ... there’s going to be a meeting soon of defense ministers to work on these details.”

Kerry would also urge regional television news outlets, particularly Qatari-owned Al Jazeera and Saudi-owned Al Arabiya, to air anti-extremist messages. Governments in the region would be urged to press mosques to preach against Islamic State.

Armor yourself with RU spirit for B1GGEST game of season JANINE PUHAK CONTRIBUTING WRITER

This Saturday night, under the sparkle of the stadium lights, to the hymn of the band’s battle cries, the soldiers in scarlet will prepare to take the field. Ready in the bleachers, Rutgers students will officially declare war on “That Team From Pennsylvania.” There’s no easier way to prepare for combat than playing with a little body paint. It’s an inexpensive and creative way to express your excitement for this weekend’s soon-to-be legendary face off between two old rivals, while showing solidarity with both your friends (you’ll likely have enough paint to share!) and closest 45,000 undergraduate classmates. While this tutorial is geared for painting a male upper body, ladies can make it their own by decorating their abdomens or arms.

Things you’ll need -A washable marker -Hand sanitizer -Scarlet, white and black paint -Paintbrushes – one for each color you use -Wet washcloth

CHOOSE YOUR WEAPONS

The typical water-based face and body paints you can find at any party store will be the easiest to wash off later, but that means rain, sweat or spilled drinks can ruin your artwork just as easily.

Alcohol-based paints you can buy at craft stores will definitely leave your skin stained after the ref’s final call but will keep your paint looking great without worry. Make your decision carefully.

VISUALIZE YOUR VICTORY PLAN

Evaluate your inspirations — are you painting up solo, with a

friend or with a big group? Single painters can throw around designs of Scarlet Knight silhouettes or just the classic block “R”.

Friends of two can match with “We R B1G” slogans, rep their favorite player’s numbers or break down lyrics from football season’s anthem of allegiance, “The Bells Must Ring.” Big groups of painters can go the classic collegiate route and spell out “G-O R-U-T-GE-R-S!” The more the merrier!

THE BEST OFFENSE IS A GOOD DEFENSE

Protect your art by planning carefully. Before applying any paint, draw out your art with a washable marker. Make sure the letters are the same size. During testing, we found that any lingering sketch lines later on can be easily removed with a simple swipe of hand sanitizer.

KICK IT OFF FLAWLESSLY

Start by applying your lightest color first, gradually building to your darker shades. Less is more when it comes to thickness of paint, and you’ll be thankful later on if you opt for many thin layers instead of one thickly caked-on coat, which will surely crack by halftime.

RUN BACK FOR THE DETAILS

After your main masterpiece is 85 percent dry, you can start adding in the final outlines and more minor wording. This is the best time to clean up any messy edges with the wet washcloth.

TOUCHDOWN!

Looking good! Sure, the athletes are remarkable, but we all know deep down it’s you, the loyal fan, who inspires true triumph. Now get up on that bleacher and scream your heart out because the good guys on the field need you!

Dan Murphy, School of Arts and Sciences sophomore, shows off his Rutgers-themed body paint in front of Scott Hall on the College Avenue campus. The numbers on his back emphasize Rutgers’ entrance into the Big 10 Conference. YANGENG LIN

Ladies, now that we’re in the Big 10, it’s time to flaunt your Rutgers pride from head to toe.

You can star t with these fun nail ar t designs that allow you to unleash your creative side in a sleek and stylish way.

You’ll need: -Red, black, white, glitter and brown nail polish -Nail ar t pens (optional) -Acetone nail polish remover -Cotton balls 1. Clean and dr y your nails.

2. Paint your nails the desired base color (red, white, brown, etc.)

3. Dr y your base coat completely. You can do this by dipping your nails in cold water, blow dr ying them or simply waiting 5 minutes. Make sure your nails are completely dr y before going to the next step.

Stand out from the crowd by adding sparkle, stripes and unique football designs. YANGENG LIN

4. Tr y using a nail art pen or a nail polish with a skinny finetip brush. Carefully draw your desired design with precision on your nail (R, football, etc.) You’ll find it easier to put less pressure on the brush to get a more detailed and clean design, and you might have to go over the design another time. Another way to get a precise design is to use a small object like a toothpick.

5. After painting your design on your nails, dr y the design completely.

6. Paint your nails with a fast-dr ying clear topcoat to seal your design and add shine.

It will also prevent your nails from chipping.

7. Clean up. Use a cotton ball with nail polish remover to get rid of any spots on your skin you might’ve accidentally painted.

8. Lastly, be creative and get inspired with your own variety of unique designs! Examples include stripes, gemstones, R for Rutgers, Big 10, etc.

MCT CAMPUS

WEEK IN REVIEW: Laurels and Darts RACK CITY New Brunswick has been undergoing transitions to become more bike-friendly city, and Rutgers is definitely playing its part.

This year, new bike racks have been popping up around campus, and the University installed sheltered bike lockers on Livingston campus that can be rented out by students. The lockers were relatively inexpensive to install, so we laurel the University for putting the money where its mouth is and making extra effort to encourage students to bring bikes to campus.

BROADWAY BLUES An upcoming trip organized by the Rutgers University Programming Association to see “Wicked” on Broadway generated a lot of interest when it was initially announced. But on the day tickets were supposed to go on sale at 9 a.m., some students showed up as early as 7 a.m. and received priority slips to get tickets — leaving many who showed up at the correct time without tickets left to buy. RUPA usually has pretty good programming, but we’re giving them a dart this time for what seems like an unfair ticketing system.

RICE STRIKES AGAIN The Ray Rice situation has everyone talking about issues of domestic violence and insincerity within the NFL, but unfortunately the media has also taken the opportunity to take another dig at Rutgers. The day the video was released of Rice punching his fiancée, multiple news vans parked themselves on College Avenue — but there’s nothing here to report on when it comes to Rice because he’s not affiliated with Rutgers anymore. This dart goes not just to Rice but also to the media for letting him give us a bad name.

We love to hate Julie Hermann, but despite her recent comments on the Ray Rice situation, we actually have a laurel for her this week. Just ahead of the big game against Penn State tomorrow, she announced that Rutgers is extending its contract with head coach Kyle Flood for another two years. We laurel her for a bold move that could help with recruitment now that Flood has more stability as head coach.

DARLING DONORS Ever since the Rutgers-UMDNJ merger, things have been looking pretty good for research and Science, Technology, Engineering and Math departments at the University. The Rutgers University Foundation was recently given a $10 million anonymous donation for cancer research. We laurel not only such a generous donation but also the fact that Rutgers is clearly doing important things and making good progress to attract this kind of funding.

KEEP IT CLEAN Despite the recent efforts by New Brunswick to launch its “Clean City Program,” we’ve noticed an awful lot of litter on streets around campus, particularly areas such as Easton Avenue and Wyckoff Street that are known to house many off-campus students. It’s disappointing that students are not doing enough to keep the city clean, and we dart those who aren’t being conscientious of other families and residents who live in New Brunswick.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

New name policy major milestone for U. COMMENTARY JAMIE DINICOLA

H

ey y’all. Jamie here, co-founder of Trans*missions and opinionated Rutgers graduate. Just because I graduated this past May doesn’t mean I’ve left for good. Rutgers has been home to me. As a New Br unswick native, Rutgers has always been an integral par t of my day-to-day life. As a child, my mother, a 26-year Rutgers employee, used to parade her favorite little daughter around campus when summer camp let out early. She would show me of f to her coworkers, brag about my soccer skills and occasionally let me sneak into the Cove arcade on Busch campus. I would play some of the games while my mom lifted heavy packages and filled mailboxes — the retro ones with a gold-tinted key.

Things have changed at Rutgers since those days — lots of things. Those gold-tinted mailboxes are gone. Now they have a locker system that magically opens at the touch of a button, and then voila! There’s your Amazon package! (It’s not digital-aged magic by the way: My mom puts them there).

Oh, and something else has changed at Rutgers, since I was that little kid in the Cove. What I didn’t know back then was that nearly a decade later, I would go to Rutgers, just as my mom said I would, and I would become one of the

leaders of the transgender movement at the University, co-founding Trans*missions, Rutgers’ first-ever transgender organization. That little Cove-dwelling girl would later transition and become a son rather than a daughter.

So yes, lots of things have changed since those days of gold-tinted mailboxes and Cove arcade games. I have changed, my mother’s job has changed and one other thing has changed: Rutgers has acknowledged that its transgender students exist.

“Rutgers knows we are here, and we are not — and refuse to be — invisible.”

They always have, but in the early 2000s, that wasn’t something administration (or anyone, really) talked about. But this year, Rutgers has acknowledged its transgender population in a really big way. Rutgers has implemented a preferred name policy this semester, something that Trans*missions, along with The Center for Social Justice and Rutgers University Student Assembly, have been pushing for.

Now, to the nontransgender Rutgers population (FYI, if you’re not transgender, you’re called cisgender) you might be asking, “Why is this big? Why would Rutgers, or anyone for that matter, put any effort into making this happen?” I’ll tell you why: Because while you are busy purchasing Amazon books online the day or week before

classes, transgender students are hanging by a thread for their safety and privacy. They are scrambling to make sure their first day of classes is safe for them to enter. For a community rocked by transphobic violence with the murder of a transgender Rutgers student last Fall, Rutgers had to act. Transgender students, without the preferred name policy, had to personally find their professors’ email addresses, email them before classes and out themselves to them to ensure their appropriate name was being used, given the fact that the class roster only uses legal names. It costs approximately $400 to get your name legally changed in New Jersey, and as you all may know, that type of money is not readily available for most college students. So no, transgender students could not just get their name changed to circumvent the Rutgers legal name database.

Not only that, but sometimes transgender students are harassed and questioned by Rutgers employees when trying to enter the gymnasium or the dining halls because their names do not match their current appearance. It was a state of emergency for transgender students, and this small policy change has conveyed the message that Rutgers sees us. Rutgers knows we are here, and we are not — and refuse to be — invisible. It’s a small recognition that speaks volumes to a community that suffers some of the most staggering statistics imaginable.

Jamie DiNicola is a Rutgers University class of 2014 graduate. He co-founded and served as the president of Rutgers’ first ever transgender organization, Trans*missions.

Criticism of University marine research project misinformed, unfounded As principal investigator of the research Tom Brown refers to in his Sept.

9 letter, “Rutgers should not sacrifice environment for research projects,” I want to address several inaccuracies in his statements.

First, our National Science Foundation-funded research has nothing to do with oil or gas exploration. Our singular goal is to understand the physical response of the Jersey shore to climate change — one of the largest environmental challenges of our age. We collect acoustic images (seismic profiles) of sediments buried in the continental shelf to help us understand how coastlines have advanced and retreated as the world’s climate warmed and cooled over the past 35 million years.

The bounty of scientific knowledge we gain has immediate benefit to society — it will give us a better idea of how far inland a rising ocean might reach by the end of this centur y. That, in turn, will help planners implement ef fective strategies to protect those who live, work and vacation along the shore.

During the 24 years my colleagues and I have collected acoustic images of f the Jersey shore, there has been no evidence that we have harmed fish, tur tles or marine mammals. We under take our

“The bounty of scientific knowledge we gain has immediate benefit to society.”

NFL obligated to send stronger message COMMENTARY JUSTIN LESKO

T

he NFL is huge. The Buf falo Bills just sold for $1.4 billion dollars despite the fact that it hasn’t been to the playof fs in 15 years and isn’t even in the top fifty markets in the United States.

But the NFL is not as untouchable as the league would like you to believe.

This past February, former Ravens player Ray Rice beat his then-fiancée in an elevator in Atlantic City. We know this from the TMZ video released shortly after the incident of him dragging her, unconscious, out of the elevator. Even with such damning evidence, he passed it off as self-defense. It must be said that he is a 200-pound professional athlete apparently defending himself against a much smaller female.

He and his then-fiancée were both charged with simple assault. When an Atlantic County grand jury saw the tape of the two inside of the elevator, they dropped the charges against his then-fiancée and upgraded his charge to aggravated assault.

“

Rice was suspended for two games.

The NFL, apparently worried about its image as well as that of one of the league’s marquee football players, paid no heed to this upgraded charge. They acted surprised when exactly what happened in the police report appeared on video inside the elevator this past week, courtesy of TMZ. Commissioner Roger Goodell has had

“Goodell is sending the message that a woman’s own report of domestic abuse means nothing. But if it’s on tape, it counts.” his greatest legal defense recently, stating that no one in the NFL saw the video of what happened inside the elevator until TMZ posted it this past Monday. This video clearly shows Rice striking his girlfriend not once, but twice, as she falls hits her head against the rail, before he drags her unconscious body out.

As I said before, the NFL is one of the powerful entities in America, and the com-

missioner failed by suspending Rice for only two games. The Ravens have since terminated Rice’s contract with the team, and he was suspended indefinitely from the league, but why did it take video evidence for that to happen?

The beating was described in the police report exactly as it appeared on film. Commissioner Goodell is sending the message that a woman’s own report of domestic abuse means nothing. But if it’s on tape, it counts.

According to Deadspin.com’s sister site Sidespin, there have been 56 instances of domestic abuse since Roger Goodell took his position as commissioner in 2006, with players only being suspended for a combined 13 games and only 10 players released from their teams.

Football is the No.1 sport in America, and it will continue to be. By allowing Goodell to remain commissioner, we are allowing domestic abuse to continue to be accepted, whether it is in an elevator in Atlantic City or anywhere else in this country.

CONTEST Wright has scored three goals in four games before Big Ten play starts CONTINUED FROM BACK Being physical and having the desire to win is only part of what Rutgers (2-2) needs to achieve in order to earn a positive result in its first road game of the season.

Against Hofsta, the Scarlet Knights started the first half with loads of energy and intent, hoping to avenge the memories from last season’s 3-0 home defeat to the Bison.

But an early-conceded goal in the second half saw Rutgers crumble in the face of adversity and switch off.

If the Knights are to get a result versus the Badgers, they will not only need to bring energy, physicality and desire, but also manage to maintain for 90 minutes. “[Staying consistent] is really a lot of the mental aspect of the game,” said senior midfielder Nathan Bruccoleri. “Even when Hofstra scored their first goal on us, I feel like our team got down, and our mentality switched.

That’s something that we need to work on.”

To work on consistency, the Knights’ practices this week have focused on a lot of short-sided games putting an emphasis on team pressing.

Being at home, Wisconsin is likely to try to control possession.

If Rutgers can successfully press throughout the match from its forwards to its defenders, the Badgers will have a more difficult time controlling the tempo.

The pressing could also force Wisconsin to make dangerous mistakes in its side of the field, with a majority of the Badgers’ starting lineup composed of freshmen and underclassmen.

“Really, we’ve had the same type of mentality going into away games all four years since I’ve been here,” Bruccoleri said. “I think, if anything, [road games are] more exciting because we’re together as a team.

We’re traveling, and it’s exciting — especially going to a Big Ten school.”

Not only will this game be the first televised match on the Big Ten Network for soccer this season, but it will also feature two of the conference’s best young attacking talents.

Rutgers for ward Jason Wright and Wisconsin for ward Mark Segbers are tied atop the conference in goals scored by freshmen, with three each in four games.

Though containing the likes of Segbers and midfielder Drew Conner will be challenging, especially given Rutgers’ current form defensively, sophomore goalkeeper David Greczek has all the confidence that his squad can get the job done.

“We just have to come out big and strong and fast and hungry to win,” Greczek said. “You know, we need that desire and that passion we all [have playing] soccer [to] just come out and win the game.”

September 12, 2014 WOMEN’S SOCCER NO. 25 RUTGERS-MARYLAND, TONIGHT, 7 P.M.

RU opens conference play ranked No. 25 GARRETT STEPIEN STAFF WRITER

Going into its first Big Ten conference game of the year, the record speaks for itself. The Rutgers women’s soccer team holds a 4-0-0 mark to its name.

In those first four games, the Scarlet Knights have outscored opponents, 12-1, with the past three games resulting in dominant shutouts.

Add in a top-25 ranking, and the level of excitement rises even more.

As Rutgers heads into College Park, Mar yland, tonight for its matchup against Mar yland, it does so after squeaking into the No. 25 spot of the NCSAA/Continental Tire Division 1 Women’s Poll. The ranking is the first for the Knights since 2012.

Rutgers joins fellow conference members in No. 8 Penn State (4-1-0) and No. 9 Wisconsin (6-0-0) as the only Big Ten teams currently in the top-25.

Despite the optimism surrounding the Knights with their early-season success, head coach Mike O’Neill emphasized the importance of continuing to take things one game at a time.

“We broke the season into three segments: One was preseason, the second was non-conference and the third piece was conference,” O’Neill said. “And we always tried to remind them to stay humble and hungr y and make sure to focus one game at a time. Don’t look to the excitement of playing these Big Ten games until we finish the second segment. … Now that that’s over, we can focus on Big Ten play.”

The third segment, as O’Neill calls it, begins with a road trip to take on the Terrapins.

Like Rutgers, Mar yland (2-21) is also a newcomer to the Big Ten. The Terps are winless on the road (0-2-1) but undefeated on their home turf (2-0).

While junior for ward Alex Doody leads Mar yland with four points, the Knights boast

Senior forward Amy Pietrangelo leads a Rutgers attack that has outscored its opponents 12-1 in its first four games of the season. DENNIS ZURAW / STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER / SEPTEMBER 2013 four players, who have matched or surpassed that mark.

Sophomore for ward Jessica Puchalski (4), sophomore midfielder Madison Tiernan (6), senior for ward Stef Scholz (6) and senior for ward/midfielder Amy Pietrangelo (7) head a Rutgers offensive attack that appears to outweigh Mar yland’s on paper.

Despite the disparity on the sur face, Scholz knows better than to judge any team on statistics.

“Well, we’ve just been taking it one game at a time. Now, this

week, the focus is on Mar yland, then conference [play] is starting, so there’s always a little bit more excitement in the air,” Scholz said. “… We’re really excited to come out and play really well against them.”

If the Knights overcome the Terrapins, it would be the second 5-0 start in program histor y and the best start to a season since 1996.

With the new ranking, undefeated start and buzz surrounding Rutgers, it would be easy to assume an easy victor y. Clearly,

the Knights ride into this game as the presumed favorites.

But to freshman goalkeeper Casey Murphy, the Knights continue to approach each game with a chip on their shoulders.

“I’m just looking for ward to going in as an underdog and putting on a show,” Murphy said. “I’m excited to see how we do as a team in our first Big Ten per formance.”

Rutgers travels through Virginia for first road trip of year RYAN MORAN STAFF WRITER

For the first time this season, the Rutgers field hockey team will hit the road.

The Scarlet Knights travel south to Virginia for two games, where they will face off against William & Mary and No. 9 Virginia.

“I think we are excited to get away from campus, really focused on playing two great opponents this weekend,” said head coach Meredith Long. “It’s nice to get away and enjoy time on the road.”

Rutgers (3-1) will take on the Tribe (1-3) first tonight at 7 p.m.

William & Mary has lost two of its last three matchups by two goals or less, showing the team’s grittiness to stay in the match throughout the entirety of the game.

Part of that toughness comes from defenseman Peyton Smith, who leads the Tribe with two goals and four points this season.

“William & Mary is great competition for us,” said Long.

“They will be a good test for us non-conference.”

However, the Tribe have struggled to put up goals in their matches this season averaging 0.75 goals a game, and to make things worse, they have given the opposition 25 corners.

This is something that the Knights can look to take advantage of.

“We’ve done a good job earning outcomes in our attacking 25 [players],” said Long. “A big focus for us is corner generation. We have identified areas through film. We feel we can exploit them.”

Senior captain forward Sophie Wright thinks Rutgers has just the game plan to generate goals.

Sophomore defender Devon Freshnock said the Knights are looking to switch from three in the back to four in the back on defense against the No. 9 Virginia Cavaliers’ high-powered attack. TIAN LI / ASSOCIATE PHOTO EDITOR “We plan to shift them all to one side and attack strong on the other side,” Wright said.

The Tribe did not fare well against Virginia, losing 9-0 in their season opener.

The Knights hope to fare better against the best team on their schedule so far. They take on a top10 team in the Cavaliers (3-2) Sunday at noon.

Virginia is led by one of the best coaches in the country, Michele Madison, who enters her ninth year as head coach. Madison was

recently inducted into the National Field Hockey Coaches Association Hall of Fame.

Virginia’s record is misleading of its talent level. The Cavaliers’ lone two losses of the season came to the hands of No. 6 Penn State and No. 7 Iowa.

Virginia does a good job of creating offense, scoring 18 goals and having 45 corners this season while allowing just 20 corners.

Long believes a key to stopping Virginia’s attack is keeping possession.

“Virginia is fast, looking to exploit on the counter attack,” said Long. “We have to be really smart with our possession in the midfield.

Midfield possession time generates success on the offensive end.”

Rutgers will have its hands full defensively, as it looks for a game plan to stop top-scorer Riley Tata, who has five goals.

“We’ve looked at Virginia’s individually skilled players,” Long said. “If we can identify them early on and shut them down, that’s one solution.”

Freshman defender Devon Freshnock also explained how they plan to shake up the Cavaliers’ attack.

“We are really going to work on switching from three in the back to four in the back during the game,” Freshnock said. “This way we can switch to our of fense and play our pressing style.”

Knights face tougher competition in weekend tournament CONOR NORDLAND STAFF WRITER

With the nonconference schedule reaching its high point, the Rutgers volleyball team will be on the road again for the third straight week.

The Scarlet Knights (4-2) carr y a considerable amount of momentum into this weekend’s Ar t Carmichael Invitational in Kingston, Rhode Island.

Rutgers will need to use all of its momentum going up against arguably its toughest competition so far in the 2014 season. The early success the Knights have had will be constantly tested throughout the weekend’s games.

Rutgers will begin the tournament facing Cincinnati (3-3), a team that defeated last year’s squad twice. The Bearcats own the series between the two schools with a 14-2 record alltime. In the 2013 season, the Knights fought Cincinnati into two five-set contests before losing in the final set.

But this year, expectations are dif ferent.

“We are looking at our game against Cincinnati to get a little revenge after they beat us twice last year,” said head coach C.J. Werneke. “The players have that in the back of their minds, and we know we have to go out there and prove to them, and to ourselves, that we’re better.”

Junior libero Ali Schroeter will need to have a strong performance this weekend if Rutgers is to have success this weekend in the Art Carmichael Invitational. FILE PHOTO / FALL 2013 Rutgers will also face NJIT (3-5) today and wrap up the tournament against undefeated Rhode Island (7-0) tomorrow.

The Knights are 2-0 all-time against NJIT and have a 9-17 re-

cord against Rhode Island.

The Rams feature one of the nation’s top outside hitters in Franki Darnold. She is among the top 50 in the nation in total kills and currently ranks 11th in

the nation with 4.8 kills per set.

With the increased competition, the Knights will be able to gauge where they stand among similar teams in the region. Despite the increased challenge

at the Invitational, Werneke is still stressing self-improvement for his team.

“Right now, we are still focusing on us,” Werneke said.

“It’s still early enough in the season where we can focus on the little details on our side of the cour t, such as understanding the amount of consistent physical and mental ef for t it takes to compete at this level.”

Some of that focus has gone into installing a new, fast-paced of fense, said Werneke. The Knights have spent much of the of fseason and summer adjusting to the new style of play.

The of fensive system is something Rutgers plans to have fine-tuned once Big Ten conference play rolls around.

The Knights know they must continue to improve in all facets of the game if they want to compete on the higher stage. It star ts this weekend at the Ar t Carmichael Invitational, where Rutgers will have to play at a high level to maintain its winning record.

“It really comes down to our overall attitude and toughness,” Werneke said. “We are not going to over whelm you physically or skill-wise, but we are going to come at you and continue to come at you. If we do that, we will be in ever y match.”

VOLLEYBALL RUTGERS WAS 5-27 LAST YEAR

Head coach’s soul-searching reinvigorates Rutgers CONOR NORDLAND STAFF WRITER

After going 5-27 last year with only one conference win, changes were due at all levels of the program.

Head coach C.J. Werneke knew that those changes needed to start at the top.

“Season to season things change, both on the court and personally. I was going through some family things the past few years, and I lost my way as a coach,” Werneke said. “I was not at the level of expectation that I hold myself accountable. I just was not a great leader. Last year hit rock bottom, and I did

some self-reflection and was not proud of what I saw. I always say that attitude reflects leadership, and I changed my attitude because it really starts at the top.”

Werneke, who is now in his seventh season as head coach at Rutgers, experienced the worst season in his coaching career since in his first year with the Knights.

Ever y problem that could have arose last year for Rutgers did. Multiple injuries downed key star ters, and the team picked up only one win in its conference play against Temple. The season also included losing streaks of seven and 14 games.

At the end of the year, Werneke knew that the entire program had to be reorganized. It started with him, and he began to follow and implement one concept — structure.

“At the end of last season I did some soul-searching to reconnect with my players so they knew where I was coming from,” Werneke said. “I began to implement new rules and structure within the program.

Coming from a militar y family where my grandparents, father, and uncle ser ved, I realized that discipline was crucial, and my players wanted that type of leadership after not giving it to them last year.”

This structure has included new schedules for the players, specific team goals for the season, and new expectations on a daily basis. As something that the players were asking for since last season, Werneke was ready to implement this new discipline once the team met in the spring. The players responded and had a great of fseason of work, according to Werneke.

“Now, we have to build on our great of fseason,” Werneke said. “We brought in five new players that added some fresh air to the program. I think our players are buying in to what I am saying, and they know that I am not going to push it and become a dictator to them overnight.”

So far, the results of the program overhaul have been evident this season. The team is 4-2 and playing with a high amount of confidence. The Knights’ four wins this year was a total that was not reached until Sept. 21 last season.

The pain and disappointment felt at the end of last season has been transformed into a sense of confidence and optimism through the first two weeks of this year.

For the players and coaching staff alike, the changes implemented over the past year have ever yone excited for what’s next in this inaugural season in the Big Ten. “The team has embraced my revamped philosophy and are fully committed. We’re 4-2 right now after winning only five games all of last year, so I think it has paid off so far,” Werneke said.

FOOTBALL HEAD COACH NEGOTIATES DEAL THROUGH 2019

Hermann awards Flood two-year contract extension SEAN STEWART CORRESPONDENT

Following two wins to start the 2014 Rutgers football season, it looks like head coach Kyle Flood has done enough to convince Rutgers Athletic Director Julie Hermann that he is the man to lead the Scarlet Knights for the foreseeable future.

Hermann announced yesterday a two-year contract extension through Februar y 2019 for Flood, which includes

a salar y increase for the third-year head coach.

“Kyle Flood is a tremendous coach for our football team and has earned the opportunity to lead us into the Big Ten and build on our program successes,” Hermann said in a statement. “We are pleased to invest in our head coach and our entire staff at a level more consistent with our Big Ten peers.”

The contract ranges from $950,000 to $1.55 million while Flood’s buyout clause in-

creases to $1.4 million, according to ESPN. Flood entered the season as the lowest-paid head coach in the Big Ten, earning $950,000.

The raise puts Flood’s salary in the same company of every other Big Ten head coach, with each of them earning at least $1 million, according to the USA Today’s annual report of college football coaches’ salaries.

With a career head coaching record of 1711 at Rutgers, Flood’s future with the Knights was in question following a disappointing 6-7

But with Rutgers University President Robert L. Barchi approving and signing the contract yesterday morning, Flood looks like he’s here to stay.
