City mayor addresses RUSA on city’s plans LIN LAN CORRESPONDENT

Some Rutgers students felt a loss when Fresh Grocer went out of business last spring, but in the next few weeks, the city of New Brunswick plans to evaluate new supermarket options to bring convenient groceries back to students.

New Brunswick Mayor James Cahill spoke at last night’s Rutgers University Student Assembly meeting in the Student Activities Center on the College Avenue campus.

The city of New Brunswick announced its intentions for improving crime control, finding a replacement for Fresh Grocer and improving the transportation infrastructure for pedestrians and cyclists.

Cahill attributed the failure of Fresh Grocer to its inability to compete with similar companies.

“I personally went and looked at some of [the Fresh Grocer] stores,” Cahill added. “We chose them for their ability to connect and serve a diverse community.”

U. faculty highlight role of technology in active learning MAEGAN KAE SUNAZ STAFF WRITER

Awake, but not wanting to get up, you lie there and check Scarletmail on your phone for any important messages. You have none, so you get ready for class and leave your room.

Realizing you forgot something in your room, you use your school ID to swipe access back into the building.

Worried about being late for class, you check the Rutgers App to find out when the next bus will arrive.

The day has barely star ted, but you have already utilized various forms of technology, par ticularly the technology suited for life at Rutgers.

As a research institution in the 21st century, Rutgers is deeply entrenched in these types of advancements, relying on them to improve

everyday lives as well as enhancing education.

Rutgers celebrates 150th year as land-grant institution LIDIA DE LOS SANTOS STAFF WRITER

The work of two Rutgers professors to grant the University a special status 150 years ago still reverberates in the structure and focus of the University, said Thomas Frusciano, the University’s historian.

The New Jersey Legislature honored Rutgers two weeks ago on the 150th anniversary of its designation as the state’s land-grant institution. Landgrant universities are institutions of higher education in the United States designated by their respective state to receive benefits from the Morrill Acts.

Robert Goodman, executive dean of the School of Environmental and Biological Sciences, accepted the joint legislative resolution on behalf of Rutgers on the senate floor. “[The Land Grant Act] is probably the most important thing that’s happened in Rutgers history,” Goodman said.

Students at Rutgers, especially those in the School of Environmental and Biological Sciences, should know the roots of how the Land Grant Act

changed education at Rutgers entirely, Frusciano said.

In 1862, Abraham Lincoln signed the Morrill Act, which granted each state land to create a college that would teach the basics of agriculture and engineering to the common people, Goodman said.

No land was available in New Jersey, so the proceeds from any land sold in Utah went to the creation of the Rutgers Scientific School.

Rutgers competed with Princeton University and what is now The College of New Jersey, but thanks to the help of professors George Cook and David Murray, Rutgers successfully became New Jersey’s land-grant college and established the Rutgers Scientific School, Frusciano said.

Goodman said the land grant made Rutgers what it is today. Because of the act, Rutgers was able to purchase a farm and created what is now Cook campus.

“Other than medicine, most of the areas of study today are traced back either to the origins of the college or the SEE INSTITUTION ON PAGE 5

Quidditch brings ‘magic’ to campus KATIE PARK CORRESPONDENT

Rutgers has little of the magical fanfare of Hogwarts, but where the enchanted castle has “Nearly Headless Nick,” the ghost of Gryffindor Tower, Rutgers has more than 60 Nearly Headless Knights.

The Rutgers University Quidditch team, a sport inspired by J.K. Rowling’s acclaimed “Harry Potter” series, is continuing in its second successive year of operation.

Its players, the Rutgers Nearly Headless Knights, dodge Muggle-adapted versions of bludgers, slam the quaffle through the three hoops and rapidly weave through the field to catch the elusive golden snitch.

Terek Pierce and Jawray Yu, two alumni, started the team in 2012. Yu is currently the team’s coach.

When the club began, Rutgers did not officially recognize the organization as a club. It was more of a popular circulating idea among

students’ casual conversations, and it became an established sports team when Yu was on the brink of graduating.

Because RUQ was not cohesive when Yu was in college, he never had much of a chance to develop an extensive playing histor y. So after graduating, he approached the team, which had then swelled rapidly in size, and asked to be the coach.

“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.

Yesterday’s article, “Rutgers online Reddit users meet in real life,” should have titled Emily Podhorcer as a School of Arts and Sciences senior.

SEBS academic forum explores undergraduate issues

Mary Emenike, director of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics Support Programs at Rutgers, spoke at the School of Environmental and Biological Sciences Academic Forum meeting held yesterday at the Cook Student Center. TIANYUN LIN

AVALON ZOPPO CONTRIBUTING WRITER

While most are familiar with the acronym “TA,” a lesser-known acronym at Rutgers is “LA”: learning assistant.

The Learning Assistant Program was one of many topics Mar y Emenike, director of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics Suppor t Programs at Rutgers, discussed at yesterday’s School of Environmental and Biological Sciences Academic Forum meeting in the Cook Student Center.

The Learning Assistant Program at Rutgers, which is modelled after a similar initiative at the University of Colorado, is currently helping 85 undergraduate students develop their teaching and leadership skills, Emenike said.

When undergraduate students enter this program, which is of fered on all campuses and takes place twice a semester, they learn to facilitate study groups, teach in recitation sections with a graduate teaching assistant and lead discussions during lectures.

“We have this right now in Chemical Engineer Analysis, where four learning assistants come into the lecture on Tuesdays and work with the students on ‘clicker’ problems after the class ends,” Emenike said.

While teaching assistants manage the classroom and grade work, learning assistants help facilitate discussions, she said.

LAs traditionally provide aid to students in math or science courses. However, Emenike said this semester, LAs are also leading recitations in the Depar tment of Philosophy.

Students can also sign up for LA-directed supplemental study groups outside the classroom.

“Personally, I prefer to have LAs in the classroom, where they are impacting the most students,” she said.

Invested students are required to co-enroll in a three-credit pedagogy class, where they are taught how to engage with students, ask effective questions and design activities for study groups, she said.

“This course focuses on active learning,” Emenike said.

“There is no lecturing. This class is modelled after how we want LAs to run a class with their students.”

Another requirement for LAs is attending weekly staff meetings, she said. The course instructor will hold one-hour meetings in which he or she shares feedback and strategies for teaching with their LAs and TAs. In turn, LAs are able to provide feedback to the course in-

structor. Typically, students develop more of a connection with their LA than their professor, due to large class sizes.

“Students see LAs as their peers and someone who is closer to them,” Emenike said.

LAs are then able to convey students’ issues with course material to the professor during the weekly meetings, she said.

The LA program is about helping students engage with the material, Emenike said.

“They sit in lectures and nod, but LAs help them think about content in a new way,” she said.

In addition to LAs in the classroom, the School of Environmental and Biological Sciences

Academic Forum explored other ways Rutgers can improve the transfer experience.

Richard Ludescher, dean of Academic Programs at the School of Environmental and Biological Sciences, said for most transfer students, their first semester is almost a loss.

Transfer students register after ever yone else, and he said most required science courses are already filled.

Aside from schedule conflicts, he said transfer students face major cultural changes.

“I was a transfer as an undergraduate, and it’s a very difficult process,” he said. “You’ve moved into an environment where people aren’t looking to make friends because they’ve already been at the school for a year.”

Carol Andrew, assistant dean of the School of Environmental and Biological Sciences, said the trouble transfer students face when transitioning is called “transfer shock,” something that is a reality at every college.

Transfer shock is particularly true at Rutgers, due to its size and because most transfers come from small community colleges.

In the School of Ar ts and Sciences, a mandator y one-credit course, “Students in Transition Seminar,” exists for transfer students and alleviates issues they might face, Andrew said.

Transfer students’ problems can be better addressed if Rutgers creates a link with community colleges, Ludescher said.

Students in the School of Environmental and Biological Sciences could deal with the transition more easily if Rutgers star ted a program to connect them with Rutgers students before they switch schools, Ludescher said.

“We’re making sure administrators at community colleges understand the dif ficulties of transferring and know the courses required for their transferring students,” he said.

land grant college,” he said.

The focus of study before receiving the grant was toward the classics, such as Latin, Greek, Literature, Theology and Philosophy. After, Rutgers began to have a strong orientation toward practical education, said Richard Ludescher, dean of Academic Programs in the School of Environmental and Biological Sciences.

A major part of America’s economic development can be attributed to this orientation to practical education, he said.

At the time, most universities were either religiously affiliated or focused in classical studies, Goodman said.

The focus became agriculture and “mechanical arts,” which became engineering. This was an enormously positive change because every state in the country now had at least one school whose job it was to educate people for some skill, Ludescher said.

“When you think about what’s here at Rutgers-New Brunswick … it’s a huge educational melting pot now,” he said.

Without the Land Grant Act, Rut-

gers College may have never had the aspirations to become a state university, Frusciano said.

“Maybe it would’ve maintained its liberal arts focus and become another liberal arts college, like Amherst or Hamilton College,” he said.

In the past, agriculture was the main focus. Farming became a necessary skill. The land grant established extension services, which became a service where people would use the knowledge that they learned at the University to help educate farmers.

“In New Jersey in the 21st century, the interpretation of what the extension services does goes way beyond farming now,” Ludescher said.

The programs and research opportunities at the School of Environmental and Biological Sciences can be attributed to Cook and his persistence in granting Rutgers land-grant institution status, Frusciano said.

So much good has come from the land grant — and after 150 years, students should be aware of how it all began, Frusciano said. It was an important landmark in the growth of this institution.

using other devices.

Along with faculty, students spend 9 million person-hours on Sakai annually, he said.

He mentioned a Confucius quote: “I hear and I forget, I see and I remember, I do and I understand,” Smith recited.

“That’s the essence of what active learning and participatory learning has to do,” he said, “We need to get to the point where we could do because that’s the point where we can understand.”

Smith said recording lectures is one way to passively use technology. Collaborative real-time interaction with faculty and other students is best.

Smith said one increasingly used strategy is called the “flipped classroom,” where the lecture-homework process is inverted. Instead of lecturing and assigning homework for the students, instructors record a lecture for the students to watch or listen to at home and work through problems during class.

“You come to class to participate in solving the problems,” Smith

said. “How did you do this? Why did you do that? Why did it work? Why didn’t it work? So what was a typically more of a passive learning experience becomes active learning.”

Moreover, the University looks forward to increased technological possibilities for collaboration. There is going to be a transition to incorporate social media such as Twitter and Facebook and real-time mobile vocational-ware environments, such the ability to use your mobile phone to print wirelessly to the nearest printer, he said.

Sharon Stoerger, director of the Information, Technology and Informatics program at Rutgers, approves of using social media as a vehicle for learning.

“It’s a way to connect with students by using tools that are comfortable to them,” she said.

Smith said Equipment Leasing Fund grants fund the advancements, as well as help from the new Strategic Plan that allows the University to identify weaknesses and develop world-class resources.

He said Rutgers needs to do better in relation to other institutions of higher education.

Still, Rutgers has collaborative spaces in Rutgers like Tillett Hall on Livingston campus, Newark Librar y and Camden Librar y, where groups of half a dozen students can sit around a table and share their work in innovative ways.

Matthew Wilk, associate director of Technical Services and Operations at Digital Classroom Services, said the new standard classroom podium — the Digital Classroom Podium — was originally conceived by the Classroom Committee.

“The DCP is a presentation portal that allows instructors to present using a Mac computer, a Blu-ray player, a document camera, or by connecting their own mobile devices,” Wilk said.

They deployed the podiums in the fall of 2012 in 27 classrooms as a pilot program. Since then, they have deployed many more podiums, tweaking them frequently through feedback from faculty.

Wilk said the DCS is in the midst of a project to standardize all classrooms with these podiums that offer new, all-digital, high-definition presentation.

Presently, 110 of DCS’s 251 classrooms have DCPs, with more installations planned for the upcoming year, he said.

Their program is now exploring methods to incorporate lecture capture capabilities to implement video conferencing.

QUIDDITCH Rutgers’ Quidditch team started with three players and has grown to over 60 members CONTINUED FROM FRONT

Quidditch is a sport derived from fantasy, so no one really knows how to play before they start, he said.

Being a successful player means improvising and creating skills from people’s repertoire of previous sports experience.

Yu has a background in football and used his knowledge of the sport to adapt to Quidditch.

But Quidditch is more than loosely inspired football — it’s a combination of several different sports, including football, handball, soccer, rugby and lacrosse.

It requires extensive running and agility.

“I try to take different drills from different sports and implement that into Quidditch so it’s more — I guess — understandable for our players, especially new players,” he said.

Chisanim Egbelu, captain of RUQ, said the team had three people when it started during Yu’s last year at Rutgers and Egbelu’s first.

It now has a membership of more than 60 players.

Egbelu, a School of Arts and Sciences junior, said he came into RUQ with experience — a “peculiar case,” he said. He played competitive Quidditch in high school in his hometown of Baton Rouge, Louisiana.

He was heavily influenced by Louisiana State University’s “historically good” team and began pulling victories over other local colleges when he was a teenager.

He arrived at Rutgers, learned about the then-burgeoning team and joined. Since then, it has undergone a metamorphosis to include an executive board and recognition from US Quidditch.

Being a part of US Quidditch, the national nonprofit league

that governs Quidditch protocol, grants access to regional and national championships, certain other tournaments and the Quidditch World Cup. Now an official competitive team, RUQ ventures out to practices three times a week to condition and play, Egbelu said. He plays the positions of chaser and beater on the field.

Phillip Cain, chaser and seeker for RUQ, said practice always starts with agility training.

Cain, a School of Arts and Sciences sophomore, said the team runs a couple laps around the field and then moves on to group stretches. Calisthenics follow, with sets of Frankensteins, karaokes, shuffles and sprints.

RUQ then divides themselves into their Quidditch positions and performs drills with their fellow beaters, keepers, chasers and seekers. Afterwards, position drills merge, so seekers are training with keepers, for example, and beaters are training with chasers.

Practice then ends with a scrimmage.

To loosely recreate the game from the movies, two dodgeballs take the place of the cast-iron bludgers, Ebeglu said. The quaffle is a slightly deflated volleyball, and the snitch is a small spherical-shaped object hanging from the back of the Seeker’s waist, similar to the game of flag football.

The broomsticks alternate between actual brooms and PVC pipes hoisted between the legs.

The sport’s roots come from “Harry Potter,” Egbelu said, and RUQ has its own share of “The Boy Who Lived” fanatics, but RUQ is its own distinctive sport, not a fan club for the series.

“Watching the movies is not going to help you win games,” he said.

RUSA Plans are under evaluation for a budget to hire 20 additional police officers for New Brunswick CONTINUED FROM FRONT

Two of the stores had close partnerships with other colleges, and their experience in service to this specific sector made the city believe it was a prime choice.

While Fresh Grocer was successful in Philadelphia, where it originated, it was unsuccessful in drawing customers with cars in New Jersey who had access to less expensive foods in other stores, he said.

The mayor said the city government forgave a significant amount of Fresh Grocer’s rent debt so the supermarket would not have to constantly worry about the bottom line, but the effort did not ultimately save the business.

The store’s debt ran up to $784,754, according a report last Februar y in New Brunswick Today.

The city is currently evaluating proposals for bringing in a new supermarket, and it hopes to

make a decision in the next two to four weeks.

The city is more cautious with other issues as well, like reducing the crime rate. Cahill said plans are under evaluation to review a budget for hiring 20 additional police officers before the end of the year. Seven new officers have already been hired.

One common safety issue students face is poor lighting in downtown New Brunswick.

Cahill encouraged students to report lighting problems and to follow up with their concerns if they do not receive responses.

Improvement in the residential areas will also come from “Project Move Out,” a new program designed to help off-campus students dispose of their furniture at the end of the year in a more efficient and environmentally aware manner than before.

Cahill cited previous years in which students have left household items on curbs in hopes that the city garbage disposal system would take

it away. The city collected 1,776 tons of bulk weight last May and 1,664 tons in June.

“It’s bad for the environment, it’s bad for the landfills,” he said.

“There’s a lot of stuff that’s discarded that’s still usable.”

Students will now be able to call in advance for a pickup or have the option of dropping off furniture at a designated site, where the University and others could first try to put the furniture to other use.

While 528 calls were made for pickups last year, that number could be much larger, Cahill said.

RUSA members also discussed plans to focus on aiding victims of sexual assault this year.

One of the goals is to alleviate academic stress for victims of sexual assault by instituting a change of their grade point average from letter grades to a “pass or fail” standard.

Justin Lucero, a School of Arts and Sciences junior and treasurer of the RUSA Allocations Committee, said there is an opening on the Allocations Board for any interested students who would like to get involved.

Cahill emphasized that his office was open to any and all suggestions students may have.

“We’re in the service business, that’s all we do,” he said.

North Korea readies to resume nuclear program talks GENEVA - North Korea is ready to resume six-party talks on its nuclear program but must maintain its readiness in the face of joint U.S.-South Korean military exercises, a senior envoy in Geneva said on Thursday.

So Se Pyong, the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea’s ambassador to the United Nations in Geneva, told Reuters his country was not planning a nuclear or missile test.

In a wide-ranging interview, he said that reports about the ill health of its leader Kim Jong Un were “fabricated rumors” and that it was not clear whether the United States was willing to negotiate the release of three detained Americans.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said after talks with North Korea‘s foreign minister in Moscow on Wednesday that he saw a possibility that stalled talks on Pyongyang‘s nuclear program could resume, but it would take time.

“For the six-party talks we are ready, and as far as I think, China and Russia and the DPRK are ready,” So said in the rare interview in the DPRK’s mission overlooking Lake Geneva.

“But America, they don’t like that kind of talks right now. Because America does not like that, so that’s why the countries like South Korea, Japan also are not ready for those talks.”

North Korea promised to abandon its nuclear program in 2005 but appeared to renege on the agreement when it tested nuclear devices in 2006 and 2009.

Already heavily sanctioned by the world body for its missile and nuclear tests, it has completed a major overhaul of its rocket launch site, a U.S. thinktank said on Thursday, enabling it to fire larger, longer-range rockets.

So, without being specific, linked North Korea‘s military preparations to “very serious” U.S.-South Korean exercises earlier this year that he said had deployed nuclear-powered aircraft carriers, submarines and B-52 bombers.

“We have to be alert also, we have to be prepared to make counter measures against that military exercise which are against us.”

Asked specifically whether North Korea was preparing a nuclear test or to fire a missile, he replied: “No, no.

“In case, in case, if they do that kind of joint military exercise, the joint nuclear military exercise against my country continuously, we have to, also.”

North Korea’s nuclear weapons program protected it from the United States, So said.

“In case if we give [the weapons] up like other countries, then of course I think they

would have attacked us already,” he said.

North Korea is not believed to have mastered the technology to miniaturize a nuclear warhead small enough for any of its existing rockets, although analysts say subsequent nuclear tests increase the chance of refining its existing nuclear technology.

It has previously threatened to turn Seoul and Washington into a “sea of flames.”

Asked whether North Korea’s leader Kim was committed to decentralization, So said, “It is the party’s policy.”

Kim failed to appear at the Supreme People’s Assembly last month and state media said he was suffering from “discomfort.” He had been seen walking with a limp since an event in July.

Asked about the nature of his ailment, So said, “That is rumors, fabricated rumors.”

He said media reports Kim may have had surgery on his ankles were wrong.

Three Americans are currently being held in North Korea on charges of crimes against the state.

A pro-North Korean daily published in Japan on Thursday quoted one of them appealing to the U.S. government to help to secure their freedom.

Top 10 fall adventures to get you pumped for pumpkins

The Giamarese Farm in East Brunswick offers a variety of pumpkin patches to pick from, as well as a corn maze to roam through. MICHELLE KLEJMONT / PHOTO EDITOR

JANINE PUHAK STAFF WRITER

The weather may be cooling down, but culture in the good old 08901 is only heating up, as we head into October. Don’t let the dwindling daylight hours or intensifying classroom pressures get you down because there is so much to look forward to throughout this wonderful month of pumpkins, mischief and full moons. Here are the top 10 autumn activities to make this month of harvest your best at Rutgers yet.

1.) HOWL AT THE MOON

One of the coolest resources here at the University is also one of the most underappreciated: the Robert A. Schommer Astronomical Observatory on Busch campus. It is open to students every Thursday night from 8:30 p.m. to 10:30 p.m., and we are lucky enough to have a full moon fall on Oct. 9. Check it out and keep your eyes peeled for any flying broomsticks up there.

2.) FIRE UP THE FOLIAGE

Though all five of our campuses wear fall particularly well, Rutgers Gardens deserves this seasons’ best-dressed award. Open year round from dawn until dusk at 112 Ryder’s Lane, this gorgeous little hidden gem is well worth the quick car ride. Offering botanical gardens and hidden trails, escape from your daily struggles by taking a walk and absorbing the picturesque scenery.

The best part is that nobody will make you rake!

3.) GROCERIES GO HOME-GROWN

Think global, act local and support a good cause, when you patronize the farmer’s markets this fall for all your produce needs. No matter what your schedule looks like on Thursdays and Saturdays, the New Brunswick Farmer’s Market has a location for you! Set up on the College Avenue campus at Kilmer Square Park Courtyard or on Nichol Avenue on Cook campus in the early afternoons, there is no easier or more communally conscientious way to access fresh fruits and vegetables while you’re away at school. Apples, celery, cranberries, eggplant and grapes are in season in New Jersey this month, so make sure to stock up before the Halloween candy craze hits.

4.) REMEMBER THE SOLDIERS IN SCARLET

Tailgaters can take it easy this month as the Scarlet Knights are set to play only one home game in October. The blackout-themed merrymaking will commence under the lights at High Point Solutions stadium and the stands will be roaring with excitement tomorrow evening at 7 p.m. as we face Michigan in this season’s second Big Ten conference. With high temperatures and humidity for the last two games, enjoy the fall weather with family and friends before the Knights travel to their next two away games. Don’t forget to root the team on as they face Ohio on Oct. 18 at 3:30 p.m. and Nebraska on Oct. 25.

5.) IT’S ‘BOUT THAT TIME TO SPIKE THE PUNCH: PROCEED WITH CAUTION

In the midst of exams piling up, weekends in October are the perfect excuse for one thing: parties.

For those 21 and over, it’s time to step up those hosting skills. Get creative with drink choices by serving guests spooky Halloween-inspired cocktails with gummy worms and black licorice. Use those test tube shot glasses rather than traditional Solo cups and dry ice for that ultimate wow factor.

6.) EXTRA PUMPKIN, PLEASE!

Pumpkin donuts, pumpkin soup, pumpkin bread and pumpkin pie — the fruit that saved Cinderella can save you, too, from a month of a boring platter. Stay tuned at the dining halls and coffee shops for deliciously innovative ways to enjoy the season’s classic flavor while you can. Consider Au Bon Pain’s new Pumpkin CroisBun — part croissant, part bread, pure yum.

7.) DON’T LET YOUR BRAIN GET COBWEBBY

Hard to believe, I know, maybe because it’s still sunny outside or possibly due to some summer saltwater pumping in your bloodstream, but October is arguably the core academic month of the fall semester, and it’s game time for good grades. Keep your eye on the prize and take advantage of drop-in tutoring or academic tutoring at the learning centers available on every campus. The first round of papers, chapter quizzes and midterms may not seem significant, but you’ll be thankful in the gray of November that you aced them!

8.) COZY UP WITH A SPOOKY FLICK

They say college kids and preschoolers have a lot in common, and you know that’s true when it comes to the love for ABC Family’s annual “13 Nights of Halloween.” Beginning Oct. 19, you can catch classic flicks like “Hocus Pocus” or the “Nightmare before Christmas.”

MCT CAMPUS

WEEK IN REVIEW: Laurels and Darts TRAYLESS SUCCESS

STOP, DROP AND FOLLOW RULES

All but one of the dining halls on campus have completely done away with trays in an effort to conserve energy and reduce food waste. So far, it seems the move was worth it, and despite the annoyance expressed by some students (including some very conflicting opinions from our own editorial board) the goals of the change are actually being met. Not only are we saving water and energy, but the lack of trays is also encouraging healthier and more restrained eating habits that eliminate a lot of unnecessary waste. We laurel the dining halls for sticking to an initially unpopular decision and helping to shape positive change on campus.

According to the latest Rutgers-Eagleton poll, one-third of New Jersey residents do not have the adequate fire safety devices installed in their homes. The three required devices include a smoke detector, fire extinguisher and carbon monoxide detector — but most homes are missing the carbon monoxide detector or the fire extinguisher (and in some cases, both). We dart the alarmingly lax attitude toward fire safety — it’s one of the first things we all learned as kids, and we need to make sure we’re taking the simple steps needed to make sure we’re equipped in the event of a fire.

STINGY STATE While we’ve acknowledged — however begrudgingly — that the exorbitant amount of money being spent on the Athletic Department is likely a good investment for the future of our University, we’re definitely not happy about the huge toll it’s taking in the form of increasing student fees. The state has always been stingy about funding higher education (it only contributes 21 percent of the total $3.6 billion budget) — but we especially dart them for it now. With the exceptional financial strain as Rutgers starts up in the Big Ten, we need the extra help even more now than ever.

YEAH, SCIENCE! Our Athletic Department might be Big, but our research departments are even bigger. Rutgers has a history of momentous advances in scientific research, including the discovery of streptomycin (the first cure for tuberculosis) right here on Busch campus in 1943. That legacy is still going strong. Rutgers students are currently in talks with pharmaceutical companies to advance their product, which is an agent to clear biological tissues that can be extremely helpful for research purposes. We laurel these students for their hard work and valuable contributions to science.

STUDENTS FOR CHANGE As college students, we are getting an education that is supposed to help us become informed, thoughtful and participatory citizens. But sometimes it can be hard to find ways we can make meaningful changes as students, besides engaging in debate and discussion. The newly created “Rutgers Peacemakers” is an organization that aims to mobilize the student community by working together to address local policy issues and communicate directly with local government. We laurel the ambitious effort to help students become more actively involved on a local level to make an impact on a global scale.

SKETCHY STRIKE OUT Word is that a top administrative official with a salary of $200,000 was suddenly and quietly fired from the University. James Kohl has been working with the University since 1999, but the reasons for his abrupt dismissal have not yet been released by the administration. Kohl was in charge of overseeing transportation services, the Rutgers University Police Department and many other operations across the Newark, Camden and New Brunswick campuses. We dart the shady circumstances surrounding his departure, and we hope the University clears it up soon.

Discussing differences opens gateway to interfaith dialogue COMMENTARY SARAH HARPAZ

O

n Tuesday night, I attended an event hosted by the Rutgers Hillel Center for Israel Engagement called “Debunking Myths About the Middle East: Examining Human Rights Violations Against Minorities in the Islamist World.” The talk, attended by a standing-room-only crowd of Jews, Muslims and other Rutgers students, was given by two women: human rights attorney, author and award-winning filmmaker Brooke Goldstein and physician, author and human rights activist Dr. Qanta Ahmed.

With earnest importance, they presented human rights issues affecting minorities across the Middle East, Pakistan and Afghanistan based on their own experiences living, working and researching in those areas. Issues they discussed included the indoctrination of children and coercion of societal outcasts to become suicide bombers in the name of religion, the separation of children from their homes to force them into terrorist groups and harsh bigotry and murder that has incited stifling fear through minority populations. At the core of their arguments was a tragic reality.

Goldstein spoke of a mentally challenged child to whom terrorists strapped a remote-controlled bomb that they set off

at a polling station during an Iraqi election. She recounted her interviews with Palestinian children who declared that they wanted to become suicide bombers.

Ahmed told the story of a Christian woman declared a blasphemer and imprisoned for asking for water from her Muslim fellow field workers. All their stories signaled critical issues of a scale and seriousness I had not previously realized, and that resonated with me powerfully.

students argued that the term “Islamist” itself, referring to murderers and terrorists, demonizes all Muslims.

The argument got out of hand. Questions that became focused solely on attacking the credentials of the speakers left Goldstein and Ahmed feeling personally attacked, and they left unceremoniously before calm returned. This saddened me because, as a consequence, the ver y real issues of human rights

“In our Hillel building, I witnessed, for the first time since I have been on campus, a productive dialogue between students with clear differences. … We began to inch toward a level of understanding between the groups and a mutual eagerness and willingness to listen and communicate.”

Both Ahmed and Goldstein made an extensive effort to point out that the groups responsible for these human rights violations do not represent Islam, but are a per version of the religion. However, the question and answer session rapidly escalated into a fier y argument over the use of the term “Islamists” to label these terrorists who act in the name of their religious beliefs.

Though Ahmed argued that the term is commonly used in political science and academic literature, used to differentiate a violent religious ideology, many Muslim

abuses being discussed that evening were not addressed.

But one positive thing that came out of the evening was a discussion among a few Muslim and Jewish students that took place once the speakers left. In our Hillel building, I witnessed for the first time since I have been on campus a productive dialogue between students with clear differences. A handful of students stayed after wards, and we began to inch toward a level of understanding between the groups and a mutual eagerness and willingness to listen and communicate.

That evening I learned of and became sensitive to the attack many Muslims feel when “Islamist” is used to describe people and actions that are demonstrably evil. The term is often heard differently than how the program’s speakers defined it.

I sympathize with this concern articulated by many of the Muslim attendants because I love Israel and believe the Jewish people, like all other peoples, have a right to self-determination in our own national home. This makes me a Zionist. Yet many, including some Muslim students in that room, define that term differently and demonize it.

Though I left unhappy with many aspects of the event, I left reassured. Most of the students at Rutgers are still young, and we are still shaping our views and ourselves. It is great to be in college, where we are encouraged to open up to different views and challenge many things that we once accepted without question. In the end, Hillel created an environment that pushed students to dispel close-minded thoughts and beliefs.

We live in an era where conflict often promotes one-sided arguments from both sides. Students often talk over each other rather than to each other. I am elated that the event fostered productive conversation that I hope will continue in the future.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Militarization of police antithetical to concept of public service According to a commentary published in the Daily Targum on Sept. 28 titled, “Police militarization necessary for law enforcement,” the events in Ferguson somehow indicate a need for more police empowerment. The writer fails to prove why protecting the police is more important than the safety of the citizens. While it may seem that the protection of the police would be conducive to the protection of the people, it becomes questionable in relation to the legal immunity many officers find themselves granted after committing acts of unjustifiable brutality.

The lack of prosecution — or any sort of accountability — for Darren Wilson, and any of the other mostly white men who murder black people, communicates a message of acceptability: Being a police officer is how you get away with murder.

So why are these the people who need military-strength defense? If they need such an extreme measure to handle protests fol-

“

lowing a climax of blatant injustice, police departments should also be provided with military-strength soundproofing so they don’t have to face even the slightest annoyance while ignoring the call of the citizens they, in theory, serve.

The level of gear the of ficers used only demonized the protesters by portraying a situation in which of ficers needed protection similar to soldiers in a combat zone. It showed the lengths law enforcement is willing to go to, if it means they can continue harboring murderers in both a legal and personal context. Why is receiving aid from the United States Depar tment of Defense more impor tant and relevant to the situation than accountability for the shooting of Michael Brown?

The suggestion that the Ferguson police department demonstrated a proper need for military aid ignores the legitimacy of the protests. It implies there is no solution but to subjugate the citizens, as if they have no demands at all, let alone reasonable ones. The Ferguson police department demonstrated a proper need for police reform, especially pertaining to prosecution of police brutality, and a lack of willingness

to understand or empathize with the people of their city.

The argument presented in the aforementioned article is based on the false premise that there is absolutely nothing the police can do besides use militar y equipment. But instead, they can address the concerns of the community and implement reform for the good of the citizens, as public ser vants are supposed to do.

Photo representations send strong messages about sexual assault The White House’s United States Department of Justice’s sur vey of sexual assault at Rutgers is a big deal for the school, and as a reader, I appreciate the coverage on these types of issues. The recent article published in the Daily Targum on Sept. 29, titled “U. urges students

to take sexual assault sur vey,” was ver y informative and updated me on what is going on, which is exactly what I was looking for. The only piece that seemed problematic to me was the photo that was chosen for the article. The photo showed a person in a dress walking up the stairs and the back of a hooded bandit lurking close by. Most times, in sexual assault cases, the victim knows the attacker, especially in the context of college campuses. The White House Task Force Against Sexual Assault reports that on college campuses “85 percent of victims were assaulted by someone they knew, usually a fellow student.”

Pictures say 1,000 words. Readers equate the picture with the article. We don’t want people equating sexual assault with a big scar y monster hiding behind the corner because the face usually looks much more familiar, and it is important for people to be aware of that.

GOAL RU still comes away with decision despite Hoosiers collecting more corners CONTINUED FROM BACK that [prepares the players], it’s the comfort of home that kind of gets them to the field.”

With the Hoosiers (5-8, 1-6) arriving in Piscataway having dropped five of their last six games, the Knights (8-1-1, 4-1-1) seemed to be in the right place at the right time.

Despite controlling the pace of the game by opening up the match in Indiana territor y in the early minutes, the Knights had yet to come close to capitalizing.

That was until the of fensive dynamic duo of Pietrangelo and senior for ward Stef Scholz drew first blood.

Just three minutes into the match, the speedy Scholz drove aggressively into Hoosiers territor y before dumping the ball of f to her running mate on the left. Pietrangelo drew the attention of Indiana’s back line, and despite her shot ricocheting of f the defender, it landed in the feet of Scholz.

In the blink of an eye, Scholz ripped a straight shot into the back left corner of the net to give the Knights an early 1-0 advantage.

Her fourth goal of the season was a crucial one. Although it came in the early minutes of the game, it ended up standing as the difference-maker between a win and a draw.

“We had possession, a good play on top of the box and Amy [Pietrangelo] was going for the shot and it rebounded of f of a defender, and I was just there to clean it up,” Scholz said.

But to the surprise of many, Indiana didn’t go away.

In fact, the early goal ignited a battle by the Hoosiers rather than Rutgers domination.

“Our saying is: no shots no service, no goals, so when we can deny we try and do that.”

CASEY MURPHY Freshman Goalkeeper

Indiana fought back throughout the remainder of the contest — outshooting Rutgers and making freshman goalkeeper Casey Murphy go to work between the posts.

The Bridgewater, New Jersey, native improved to 8-1-1 on the season in the net and recorded her sixth individual shutout of the year, but had to do so after making a career-high nine saves.

To put that stat into perspective, the true freshman had only 23 total saves on the season coming into the match.

“I think Indiana was a ver y good team,” Murphy said. “They like to ser ve balls in, and I think our defense did ver y well clearing [the ball] out wide and staying composed and not breaking down in the back, so I commend them for that. … Our saying is: no shots, no ser vice, no goals, so when we can deny we tr y and do that.”

It seemed as if the Hoosiers were living in the corners of the field, registering five corner kicks throughout the game while the Knights could only manage a few snif fs of what has been arguably the biggest aspect of their of fense.

With Purdue visiting on Sunday, O’Neill ultimately hopes for the team to reach the same goal of another Big Ten victor y and points.

“The expectations are always high in the way we play — we want to create oppor tunities,” he said. “But, you know, it’s not like we come out on the field and say, ‘We’re gonna beat a team by this amount.’ We focus on one goal at a time and have a great deal of respect for the team we play against.”

RU hosts first home Big Ten match CONOR NORDLAND STAFF WRITER

After opening up conference play with a 0-2 record, the Rutgers volleyball team is looking to respond in a convincing way this weekend.

The Scarlet Knights (7-8, 0-2) begin the weekend against No. 15 Purdue (12-2, 2-0) on Friday, followed by Indiana (10-4, 1-1) on Sunday at the College Avenue Gym. Now that they have played in actual Big Ten games, the Knights have a sense of expectation entering the weekend. The coaching staff knew it would take the first set of conference games for players to get rid of their butterflies.

“We learned that even though we’re in the Big Ten, it’s still just volleyball,” head coach CJ Werneke said. “No one came away with injuries, and getting past some of the mystique associated with the conference is big, because at the end of the day it’s still 18- to 21-year-old women who are playing volleyball.”

With that behind them, the Knights now know what to expect Friday when Purdue steps on the court.

The Boilermakers enter the weekend on a four-match win streak. They also feature one of the strongest offenses in the Big Ten, ranking second in hitting percentage (.298), fourth in assists per set (13.34) and third in kills per set (14.70).

Purdue consists of three of the best players in the conference.

Middle blocker Kierra Jones is second in the conference with a .441 hitting percentage, outside hitter Annie Drews is tops in the

Big Ten with an average of 4.27 kills per set and setter Val Nichol ranks fourth in assists per set with 10.94 per set.

All of the pieces combine for an excellent matchup with the Knights, who are fifth in the conference in digs per set with 14.41.

“Purdue is a freakish athletic team at a number of positions.

You add that with their size and skill set, and you end up with the 15th team in the nation,” Werneke said. “They will be similar to what we saw in Illinois, and we had one of our best offensive showings against them, so it will be interesting to see how it plays out.”

Following Purdue, the Knights will play Indiana on Sunday to wrap up the weekend home stand.

The Hoosiers feature a roster that is more focused on team play, Werneke said. He sees a number of similarities with them and with his own team.

Both squads are in the middle of the pack statistically, with neither team possessing a real strength at this point in the season. One area the Hoosiers are weak in is opponent hitting percentage, ranking 13th in the conference at .205.

This deficiency should allow the Knights to work on some of their own issues on offense, which ranks last in the Big Ten in hitting percentage (.154) and 13th in kills per set (11.59).

“Against Indiana, I think we are similar in styles of play like Northwestern,” Werneke said.

“They rely on the team rather than individuals, and when we played them last year, they handled us pretty well. Going up

against them again this year will be a good way to measure where we are so far this season.”

Adjustments need to be made by those on the court in order to be more efficient on offense. Junior libero Ali Schroeter feels fixing the offense starts with stressing the basics.

“I think we definitely need to improve our serving and passing,” Schroeter said. “Our style of play is based off our serving and passing, so if we can be more consistent with getting our serves in, being more aggressive on the serve, as well getting our passes to the setter. I think we will be better in executing our offense.”

Tweaking the offense could provide immediate benefits for the Knights, who need to find their offensive identity if they are to start winning conference games.

One of the most important messages Werneke has stressed to his team this season is self-improvement. Werneke is focused on making his players better, instead of game planning for the opponent’s best players.

It remains to be seen whether Rutgers have improved enough to earn its first Big Ten win.

“We just have to focus on being the best team we can be,” Werneke said. “I don’t want to constantly have our team in the mindset that we have to adjust to our opponents, I want our opponents to adjust to us, and the only way that happens is if we are playing at a highly efficient level.”

We can’t underestimate any of our competitors. You have to be giving it 100 percent and work on what you need to work on.”

Junior Lindsey Kayati was not even aware ASA was a junior college and said it was one of the better teams she has faced since joining Rutgers, regardless of it being a junior college.

“They’re very sound in their ground strokes, they had really good serves and they had good ball placement,” Kayati said.

October 3, 2014 MEN’S SOCCER RUTGERS-NO. 4 PENN STATE, TOMORROW, 7 P.M.

Road rivalry provides Knights chance for key victory SEAN STEWART ASSOCIATE SPORTS EDITOR

There won’t be a record breaking 53,774 fans in attendance when the Rutgers men’s soccer team faces Penn State this Saturday like there was Sept. 13 for the football teams at High Point Solutions Stadium.

But that doesn’t make it any less of a rivalr y for the players on the field when the game kicks off at 7 p.m. in State College, Pennsylvania.

“I’m really excited,” said sophomore midfielder Erik Sa. “Anytime you get to play against Penn State, it’s a big rivalry, especially when you’re at Rutgers. And I know a lot of kids there, and everyone kind of talks about that school. …They are very prideful of their school, and so are we. So this is a big game for that.”

The Scarlet Knights (3-4-1, 1-1-1) enter the matchup against the No. 4 Nittany Lions unbeaten on the road. Penn State (8-01, 3-0-0) enters unbeaten.

Led by star goalkeeper Andrew Wolverton, the Nittany Lions rank fourth in the nation in goals against average and have won all three of their conference games by a score of 1-0.

The Knights have already faced the first- and second-ranked defenses in the nation in Syracuse and Michigan State, respectively, failing to score in both games.

But Rutgers has started to grow in confidence following an important road point in East Lansing, Michigan, and the Knights gave the Lions one of their worst losses of the season last year in a 4-1 drubbing at Yurcak Field.

While three of the four goals scored against Penn State came from former for ward Kene Eze and Mar yland transfer Mael Corboz, Sa feels last year’s win has its psychological benefits.

Sophomore midfielder Erik Sa said the Knights are confident entering their road game against No. 4 Penn State. RU is unbeaten on the road this season and defeated the Nittany Lions, 4-1, last year at Yurcak Field. DAPHNE ALVA / STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER “[It’s] definitely not an over-confident thing. I think it’s just a confident thing,” Sa said.

“We know we can play with Penn State — we played with them. …

They’re definitely going to be looking at getting some revenge after [we beat] them pretty badly last year, so we got to come into that game with the right mentality — focused and ready to go.”

In order to maintain that focus and erase complacency, head coach Dan Donigan has begun shifting his starting lineup in the hope of increasing competiveness in practice.

Sophomore goalkeeper David Greczek and senior midfielder

Nathan Bruccoleri were among the most recent players to start from the bench, when Donigan elected to mix things up Sunday against Michigan State.

Although Greczek’s streak of 27 consecutive starts was snapped after sitting the first half, the former Second Team All-American Athletic Conference goalkeeper said the benching will not change his approach in practice.

“It doesn’t make a difference if I don’t start or if I do start,” Greczek said. “[I’ll still] come working hard. If [Mitchell Walier] starts, I’m making him work harder this week, and if I start, he’s making me

work harder, so it’s just a battle between the two of us, and the goalies got to come prepared and ready to play.”

Approaching the midpoint of the season, the Knights are still in search of a victor y over a top program.

Rutgers’ biggest win was a 3-2 overtime thriller against Wisconsin on the road, which ranks 120th on NCAA.com’s RPI ranking.

Fortunately for the Knights, two of their four losses came to teams ranked in the top 11 of the RPI, and a tie against the Spartans last Sunday helped boost Rutgers’ ranking to 65th.

With hopes of an NCAA tournament berth and the need for a big win still a goal, Donigan sees this game as a golden opportunity.

“I mean, they’re like 15th in the RPI,” Donigan said of Penn State. “We’re 65th, and it’s on the road. So just like the Michigan State game helped us get a result on the road against the 16th RPI team, this is another great opportunity for us, so there’s no doubt. You look at that and hope you can get a good result out of it.”

From the moment the ball was kicked from the center circle by junior midfielder Samantha Valliant and carried upfield by senior for ward Amy Pietrangelo to mark the beginning of the match, it seemed as if the No. 25 Rutgers women’s soccer team was in control.

The Scarlet Knights wasted no time setting the tempo in their match with Indiana on Thursday night at Yurcak Field.

At the end of the night when the scoreboard hit all zeroes, Rutgers had topped Indiana, 1-0.

But in their first game back after a grueling Midwest road trip, the Knights appeared sluggish and didn’t seem to play a complete game from start to finish that they have been accustomed to all year long.

At the end of the night, though, head coach Mike O’Neill said that the return to the program’s home turf and the warming cheers resonating from the Rutgers faithful throughout the cool October night were enough to keep the first-year head coach satisfied.

“It’s nothing like coming home,” O’Neill said. “It’s [the players] and their surroundings

The Rutgers field hockey team has seen brighter days.

Coming into Friday’s games, the Scarlet Knights are reeling. They have lost their last four games — all to ranked opponents.

Boasting a 4-5 record is not the ideal star t Rutgers was looking for.

But according to head coach Meredith Long, the Knights are confident they will get their play together.

“I’m ver y confident,” Long said. “We worked extremely hard on a lot of pieces of our game we need to improve on this week. The team is hungr y for its first Big Ten win.”

After two disappointing losses to No. 11 Northwestern and No. 15 Michigan, Rutgers is looking to bounce back and earn its first Big Ten conference win when they host No. 20 Michigan State (5-4) on Friday.

The Spartans are coming off losses against No. 2 Maryland and No. 9 Penn State.

The Knights will have their hands full with Michigan State for wards Abby Barker and Allie Ahern. Barker has nine goals and seven assists this season, while Ahern has six goals and two assists.

Rutgers has shut down good players this season, and according to sophomore midfielder Alyssa Bull, they plan to do it again.

“We need to have high pressure, good communication in the midfield and be able to shift to the right spots,” Bull said of stopping Barker and Ahern. “We have to SEE STREAK ON PAGE 13

TENNIS SCORE WAS NOT KEPT AGAINST JUNIOR COLLEGE

Scrimmage against ASA satisfies Knights MARQUEL INGRAM CONTRIBUTING WRITER

When the Rutgers tennis team played junior college ASA in a scrimmage on a dreary Thursday afternoon, it was an opportunity to test new strategies created during practice.

And based on how the team performed and what head coach Ben Bucca saw, the strategies worked well.

“This [scrimmage] served its purpose perfectly,” he said in reference to preparing for the MLB PLAYOFF SCORES

upcoming tournament at Yale. “There were times when we played some good tennis, but there were other times when we really played very strong tennis. So I’m very happy with not only how the team played, but with how this played out in our schedule.”

Score was not kept for the exhibition, but that did not deter the coach from showing his delight at how well the Scarlet Knights fared against the No. 1 junior college team in the country.

Furthermore, Bucca went specifically into the positives of the outing.

“Especially in the start of the scrimmage, our shot-making was very sharp and crisp,” he said.

“We were hitting deep, penetrating balls. We were hitting the ball with pace and force when we should’ve, and there were other times when we were content to play a safe, high-percentage shot.

So we used our shot selection in a very intelligent way, and that’s why, especially in the beginning of the scrimmage, I was so pleased with how we looked and how we were playing.”
