Fans storm field after Rutgers’ first Big Ten win

Flocks of fans and students rushed the field at High Point Solutions Stadium on Saturday night after the Rutgers football team defeated Michigan by a score of 26-24 for the program’s first Big Ten win. Fans last stormed the field in Piscataway on Nov. 9, 2006, when the Knights upset Louisville, ranked No. 3 in the nation at the time. SHAWN SMITH

Fireworks and cannons smoked through the crisp Piscataway air on numerous occasions Saturday night, but it wasn’t until High Point Solutions Stadium’s student section emptied and fans rushed onto the field that it all meant something special.

A 26-24 victory against college football’s most storied program signaled not only the Rutgers football team’s first-ever Big Ten win, but also perhaps the biggest moment in Scarlet Knights history.

Gone are the demons that lingered from a crushing loss to Penn State only three weeks prior. Answered are the trials and tribulations that came with a painful defeat

to Louisville in 2012 as a BCS bowl berth slipped away.

And silenced, at least for the time being, are the critics who prematurely ruled out the Knights’ chances of competing in one of the nation’s most prestigious conferences before the season started.

New debate coach aims to help students find their voice The voices of college students are often squelched when it comes to expressing opinions, particularly concerning race, gender and politics. Matthew Maddex wants to help students find their voice.

Maddex is still very much the “new kid at school.” He was appointed as an instructor in the School of Communication and Information and became the new debate coach for the Rutgers University Debate Union in August.

Laurie Lewis, chairperson of the Department of Communication, said as the new debate coach, Maddex will teach “Debate Practicum” as well as related courses in argumentation and public speaking.

Maddex joined the faculty directly from Florida Gulf Coast University where he taught courses in persuasion and propaganda.

He has a bachelor’s in communication and political science and

For me to stay home and win a game like that, and all the fans and everyone loving me is just great.”

Cor y Booker got into Stanford University with a 4.0 and a 1,600 — 4.0 yards per carr y and 1,600 receiving yards. The college football player, with an education from Yale Law School and the University of Oxford in addition to Stanford, is the United States senator from New Jersey and a former mayor of Newark.

A man was struck by a vehicle around 2:30 a.m. Saturday near Olde Queens Tavern on Easton Avenue in New Brunswick.

According to an email from E.J. Miranda, a spokesperson for Rutgers, New Brunswick police are investigating this incident. “[The victim] ... did a flip in the air,” according to a Tweet from a witness.

“The car was flying down Easton.”

According to the same Tweet, the victim was “running to get to the other

side [of the street]” with the fast-approaching automobile drawing nearer.

Police officers closest to the tavern partitioned off the area with caution tape.

One individual described the victim to be in “critical condition.”

Individuals close to the victim reported he underwent surgery at Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital overnight and is expected to make a full recovery.

The Rutgers University Police Department declined to comment.

This article originally appeared online on Saturday.

Although he boasts an elite educational background, he considers himself to have walked the same academic pathway as many minority students. Booker spoke at the “6th Annual Garden State-Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation STEM Research Conference” held Friday at the Rutgers Student Center on the College Avenue campus.

“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.

Tuesday’s article, titled “Rutgers urges students to take sexual assault survey,” should have quoted Sarah McMahon as saying that she is confident that the University will use any insight it gathers from the sexual assault survey to strengthen its response to sexual violence and to continue to create an environment that is safe and built upon respect.

MIT professor shares greenhouse gas findings at lecture DAN COREY CONTRIBUTING WRITER

The underlying nature of Jessika Trancik’s research could have a large impact in the worldwide scientific community, regarding the future of climate change initiatives, allowing for a more proper allocation of societal resources.

Research colleagues, professors and graduate students alike filed into the Marine Sciences Building on Cook Campus Friday morning to listen to Trancik, professor in Energy Studies in the Engineering Systems Division at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

“This is what we do as academics, and it’s great to meet with colleagues [and] discuss the research,” she said. “It’s good to get a different perspective to see what researchers, professors and students are working on here [at Rutgers].”

Trancik presented her research during her lecture, “Climate impacts of methane emitting energy technologies,” sponsored by the Rutgers Energy Institute. Her research compared the respective environmental impacts of carbon dioxide and methane and proposed a new means to measure greenhouse gas emissions.

strategy and mitigation potential of greenhouse gases by both the public and private sectors.

To reduce greenhouse gas emissions, the type of greenhouse gas must be called into question, said Frank Felder, director of the Center for Energy, Economic & Environmental Policy at the Edward J. Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy.

“We need to define the problem properly, so we can go after the right gases in the most cost-effective ways,” he said.

Felder’s assertion is what Trancik described as “the applied impact” of her findings.

“A lot had been focused on carbon dioxide, as it is the most abundant greenhouse gas,” Felder said. “Its contribution to climate change is more on perunit basis than methane, and we need to get them both right.”

Trancik’s development of the ICI and CCI metrics perhaps has greater potential than the GWP. “I’m hoping to inform others on how to better understand how to include methane in emissions and what technologies we should invest in,” Trancik said. “This is impor tant information that needs to be appropriately taken into account in the policy discussion regarding methane emissions.”

COACH Maddex hopes to have a debate team that has speech side, debate side CONTINUED FROM FRONT

a master’s in communication studies. He is currently in “All But Dissertation,” preparing to defend his dissertation in November at Louisiana State University, where he will receive his Ph.D. in communication studies with an emphasis in rhetoric, Lewis said.

Maddex originally had every intention of going to law school when he fell in love with debating and discovering how to speak distinctively and think differently.

The coach of his college debate team advised him to get a master’s degree if he planned to coach or teach.

“My first debate class was at Long Beach City College with my mentor,” Maddex said. “I got involved with his class, and it was a chance to argue. I didn’t know what argue really meant. I really kind of fell in love with the class, and I got to be apart of the debate team.”

To him, Rutgers is one of the most diverse universities he’s ever taught at. He enjoys learning about students’ backgrounds because he likes exposing himself to different cultures.

“I had a student who told me that one of the cultural things they do is they put toys in front of a baby, and depending on the toy [the baby] picks up, it determines

their future,” he said.

Maddex is not only interested in his students’ backgrounds, but also in helping them use their unique backgrounds as skills and strengths.

Vidhaath Sripathi, a School of Engineering sophomore and RUDU member, said Maddex has helped him experiment with different types of discourse in debate, including rapping. He said this truly effected change within the debate community.

Sripathi said Maddex is an engaging coach who focuses on developing strategies that work with students’ personal strengths and interests.

“Coach Maddex has allowed me to bridge the gap between rhetoric and reason, which I will carry on to use in my future academic and career pursuits,” Sripathi said.

Maddex hopes people are able to see the areas in which conservative and liberal views overlap so that they can work toward enhancing themselves and society.

“I hope all people have their own way of viewing the world,” he said. “I want to challenge people to become open to other view points while at the same time finding out what their own is.”

While at Rutgers, Maddex is writing his dissertation, “Raptivism: The Act of Hip Hop’s Counterpublic Sphere Forming into a

students from underrepresented minority groups who complete undergraduate degrees in science, technology, engineering and mathematics.

Students from the eight-member alliance team — Essex County College, Fairleigh Dickinson University, Rutgers-New Brunswick, Rutgers-Newark and William Paterson University — presented their research with informative posters at the event.

Booker highlighted the fact that the United States was trailing behind other nations when it comes to STEM. “We are falling behind our competitor nations who are surging forward,” he said. “The most valuable natural resources for nations is not oil, gas or coal, but the genius and the education of its children.”

According to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development’s recent data, the U.S. ranks 26th in Mathematics out of 34 developed countries behind Slovakia, Portugal and Russia. It ranks 27th in college students receiving undergraduate degrees in science and engineering.

He said one of the reasons the U.S. is not on the cutting edge is because the lack of inclusivity in the field. While STEM is predominantly comprised of white males, minorities like blacks, Latinos, Native Americans and Alaskan natives make up only

one-tenth of the workforce.

Women only hold up 28 percent of the STEM jobs.

“This is a dire situation,” Booker said. “Unless women and minorities enter the field, the U.S. will face severe shortage in the number of science [workers] and engineers in the workforce, severe shortages in leadership, severe shortages in the ability of this nation to be in the forefront.”

The audience rewarded Booker with a huge applause as he noted how success in any sphere of life has nothing to do with what is on the outside and everything to do with “what’s in the heart and what’s in your head.”

He also suggested that it is essential to stand out from the crowd.

Every Friday or Saturday evening in college, he would differentiate himself by going to the library no matter how hard it was.

“What you all are trying to do is hard but you’re not built for easy, you’re not built for comfort and convenience, you’re built for hard,” he said. “You’re not born to fit in, you’re born to stand out.”

Alexander Gates, principal investigator for the GS-LSAMP, said the program originally aimed to double the number of underrepresented minorities in STEM in five years. They achieved it in four.

The next phase of the program will be partnering with community colleges and high schools while at the same time encouraging students to follow their path to graduate school, he said.

Social Movement to Seize their Political Opportunities,” about hip-hop and politics. He is curious about how hip-hop is being used to challenge the political structure and make commentary about social issues. “[Maddex] investigates how rhetoric and communication are used for civic engagement, raising political and social awareness and advocating sociopolitical causes,” Lewis said.

In the future, Maddex aims to mentor a debate team that has both a speech side and a debate side. For now, he will continue to promote and be involved in public debate with RUDU. In the spring, the team hopes to be able to debate the Cambridge Union Society from England while they visit Rutgers on their British tour.

Maddex also wants to help the Communication Department grow and offer classes that challenge students and help them understand what a communication degree can really mean for their future.

As for now, Maddex is having his students create their own version of the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge to put online. He wants them to challenge other people to pick up a cause chosen by the group.

“I want to help educate people because, as the old sophist philosopher Protagoras said, we have to show people that there is a faulty awareness to our world,” he said.

“In order to truly argue and truly understand what you believe in, you must be willing to see it from the other side.”

“We’ve gotten to colleges, so now we’re focusing on the edges,” he said.

The program offers financial aid as well as peer-led learning groups, academic mentorship and online resources to keep students involved.

“We also offer research experience in school with faculty membership that tries to tie everything together,” he said. “It’s something better on a resume than just grades.”

Tasha Inniss, program director of the National Science Foundation, said the program has phenomenal accomplishments in an area that has encountered some difficulties in the past.

She cited the academic and social integration model as the reason for their success and agreed with their plan to follow up with graduate school.

“I plan to walk around and see their research and talk to them, and I hope to see a large number of the ones who are graduating are going on to graduate school,” she said.

Fiona Lee, a participant in the GS-LSAMP program, said she used the funding from the program to research over the summer.

She studied plant genus Patrinia’s “bio-accessibility,” which determines how many nutrients people absorb from its digestion. To her surprise, the results were lower than expected and she is reworking the research this semester to see if she can get different results.

GS-LSAMP provided career workshops and networking advice, but Lee, a School of Arts and Sciences senior, said the funding was extremely important to her.

“It helped me get funding for research over the summer rather than doing a part-time job,” she said.

Matthew Maddex was hired as the new debate coach and an instructor for the School of Communication and Information.

Students discuss climate change with advocate WEINI ZHANG CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Roshni Karwal encouraged students to think beyond the bulb when discussing practical solutions to tackle climate change.

Karwal, climate change advocate for the Climate Reality Project, discussed renewable energy in Murray Hall on the College Avenue campus last Tuesday at “Conquering Carbon: A Climate Reality Project Presentation.”

The event was co-hosted by Rutgers Peacemakers and the Rutgers University Association of International Relations.

As a representative at the United Nations Climate Change Summit, Karwal also introduced the grim reality of carbon emissions and proposed solutions.

Born in Sri Lanka and raised in Singapore, she observed the increasingly alarming weather patterns that climate change causes.

“On every island I’ve lived on, there is calamity,” she said.

As a former journalist covering Japan’s nuclear leak crisis, Karwal observed the catastrophe in person and shared her input. She said many aspects go into maintaining a nuclear plant, which is a larger responsibility than solar power.

Patrick Parlej, co-founder and president of Rutgers Peacemakers, said this generation has to deal with the growing threat posed by climate change.

But Karwal said Rutgers students are highly engaged in environmental concerns by thinking deeply and asking big questions.

Parlej, a School of Arts and Sciences senior, brought Karwal to speak to help decipher the issue and what steps students could take.

“Armed with tools and statistics of what is happening and what we can do to help, we are definitely taking actions and seeking future collaboration with Climate Reality Project,” he said.

Fahad Akhtar, the club’s co-founder and treasurer, said the goal of the program is to introduce students to a global issue that directly affects them.

Akhtar, a School of Arts and Sciences junior, said people used to talk about Russian incursions on Ukraine, a situation that most people had little influence over.

“But climate change is right there affecting each one of us … it is something we can gain understanding and propose better solutions,” he said.

The United States is one of the greatest producers of carbon emission. According to the Climate Reality Project, 40 percent of the emission comes from the power sector, including power plants and the coal industry.

As the world’s leading country and biggest contributor to carbon emission, it is imperative that the U.S. takes action to modernize power plants, Karwal said.

“Solar energy and wind energy remain my favorite two solu-

tion[s] for the future … They are effective but easier to harness, compared to alternatives like nuclear energy,” she said.

Also present at the discussion was Ace Romano Rodriguez, a representative of the United Nations Economics and Social Council. He pointed out the necessity of renewable energy, including solar power.

“There is plenty of open land in the Middle East and it is always sunny … The United Arab Emirates is building the Masdar City near Abu Dhabi, where the city will completely rely on solar energy,” he said.

Some countries have made considerable progress in utilizing solar power. China installed 12 gigawatts of solar panels in 2013 that accounts for nearly one-third of the world market. Vatican City is by now completely powered by carbon-free energy.

Under President Barack Obama and the Environmental Protection Agency’s Clean Power Plan, the U.S. expects to reduce power sector’s carbon pollution by 30 percent before 2020.

“More solar power has been installed in the last 18 months than in the past 30 years, powering 2.2 million homes,” Karwal said.

Contrary to some public opinions, the transition toward renewable energy in the power sector in the U.S. boosts employment, she said.

The growing solar market created approximately 18,000 new jobs in 2013, Karwal said.

U. strives for greener grass breeds HARSHEL PATEL CONTRIBUTING WRITER

From a farm on Cook Campus to the White House Lawn, grass produced by Rutgers researchers has come a long way.

Researchers at the Center for Turfgrass Science at the Rutgers New Jersey Agricultural Experiment Station have been working to find more environmentally friendly breeds of grass.

Stacy Bonos, an associate professor in the Department of Plant Biology and Pathology in the School of Environmental and Biological Sciences, is one of these researchers.

“Our goal is to be able to provide home lawns or athletic fields or golf course turf that require less input,” Bonos said. “You want to be able to still have a green lawn to look at or to be able to play on that does not have those additional inputs.”

The team, led by William Meyer, director of the Rutgers Turfgrass Breeding Project and a professor in the Department of Plant Biology and Pathology, strives to breed grasses that are immune to diseases, he said. The aim of this project is to provide the public with grass that is easy to care for and still aesthetically appealing.

Meyer’s team keeps a watchful eye on all the grasses, checking to see which ones possess desirable traits such as disease immunity and drought tolerance. These breeds are carefully selected and mated with breeds with other desirable traits.

“We incorporate all of those traits into the new varieties we develop so that the new grasses we develop don’t require as many inputs,” Bonos said.

The inputs required for the successful and healthy growth of grass, such as nitrogen and water, are becoming very difficult to come by across the nation. As a result, demand for what the researchers are producing has skyrocketed, Meyer said.

To deal with this rising demand, the researchers send the seeds of their most successful grasses to

“We certainly have grasses that are improved with their performance and their appearance with less input.”

WILLIAM MEYER Director of Rutgers Turfgrass Breeding Project

seed companies to be mass-produced. These companies then sell them to consumers around the globe, Bonos said.

“I guess the difference is when I started 30 years ago, nitrogen was much more reasonably priced, [and] there was plenty of water,” Meyer said. “We certainly have grasses that are improved with their performance and their appearance with less input.”

Grasses produced in New Jersey have a tendency to be more successful in other locations, Bonos said. Hot and humid summers put the grass under very stressful conditions, allowing only the strongest to survive. Of these, only the healthiest-looking grasses are then selected for further research.

The grasses are produced at one of two research farms: Horticulture Farm II off Ryders Lane on Cook Campus and a farm south of campus in Freehold, New Jersey, Bonos said.

“No one really realizes that we have probably one of the largest turf grass breeding programs in the world, and it’s right here in New Jersey.” Bonos said. “Our grasses are used in a lot of different places, but probably nobody really knows that.”

The grasses produced at Rutgers have traveled far and wide — from across the warm regions of the United States to all around Europe. The turf has been used in events like the Super Bowl and World Cup, as well as at Yankee Stadium and on the White House Lawn.

The goal of the program has been to produce turf that is both environmentally friendly and visually appealing.

Shyam Kalaria, a School of Engineering first-year student, said better grass would make it through long winters.

“It costs a lot more to treat grass now, normally,” Kalaria said. “Better grass would last longer through the winter, so you don’t have to worry about it.”

Patrick Parlej is the co-founder of Rutgers Peacemakers, which sponsored “Conquering Carbon: A Climate Reality Project Presentation” last Tuesday. DENNIS ZURAW / STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER Grant King, a Rutgers Business School first-year student, said solar power is “wonderful.”

King said his father is a solar specialist in NRG Energy Inc., a For tune 500 American energy company.

“It is a simple and straightfor ward solution, [by which] high-up climate change claims drop onto the panels on our roofs,” he said.

Sidharth Ghoshal, a School of Art and Sciences first-year stu-

dent, also brought up a discussion on nuclear energy as a possible substitute.

Nuclear power is the most efficient alternative energy, but it involves risk, he said. A slight mishandling can cause a big catastrophe, such as the 2010 nuclear power plant leak in Fukushima, Japan. “[The plant] could have done a lot but didn’t, under the assumption that it is so unlikely to happen,” he said.

TEDxRutgers plans for spring 2015 conference NIKHILESH DE STAFF WRITER

TEDxRutgers, a student organization that works to bring together world-leading thinkers, makers and doers, is planning a “TEDTalks” event for the Rutgers community on March 28 in the upcoming year.

Akash Mitra, co-president of the organization, said the event is expected to take place at 11 a.m. in the Cook Student Center.

One goal of the event is for members the University community to share experiences, said Anisha Nukala, co-president of the group.

“Our student speakers and professors [are] doing some great work,” said Nukula, a School of Environmental and Biological Sciences junior. “They can inspire students and faculty.”

At least eight speakers are expected to attend the event, one or two of who would be students, said Mitra, a School of Environmental and Biological Sciences junior. Each talk will last from five to 18 minutes.

The talks will be kept short to hold the audience’s attention, Nukala said.

Each talk will have to pertain to a central theme, said Mansi Parikh, the group’s corresponding secretary.

To ensure the talks will be relatable to the audience, the members of the organization will vote on the theme.

The group is not currently looking into any specific disciplines, Mitra said. They are looking to get

speakers for a variety of topics ranging from science, technology, engineering and mathematics to business and economics.

The club will look to recent graduates, faculty and members of the New Brunswick community for speakers, he said.

“We’re just looking for people whose ideas are somewhat relevant to the world,” he said. “We’re looking for leaders in their field for great ideas.”

TEDxRutgers will hold a competition to determine the student speakers, he said. Interested students can fill out an application when it is available.

The competition, called “Speechcraft,” will be a speaking contest, Mitra said. It will most likely be divided into two parts to separate talks on the sciences and arts.

Undergraduate and graduate students alike can apply to be speakers, said Parikh, a Rutgers Business School sophomore. A panel of judges will determine who the actual speakers will be.

The planners want the talks to be impactful, Nukala said. They should include life lessons that people could relate to.

Part of the event’s purpose is to allow people to share experiences others have not had, Parikh said.

“We want people who have great stories with no medium to be able to share them,” she said. “This is a channel in which they can inspire.”

Getting the notification, realizing I’m hooked on tech FRONTLINES VAISHALI GAUBA

I

f we had to make a list of activities that are extremely hard to do, sipping tea wouldn’t be one of them.

Exposing our bodies to 110 degrees while we frantically tr y to reach our toes in a yoga asana could probably be hard, as well as cooking a hear ty meal for 37 guests, but not sipping tea. Well, guess what — sipping tea just got harder for me.

My lips rest on the rim of my teacup, but for some reason, I can’t get my taste buds to enjoy the freshly simmered lavender rose-infused honey tea. It’s on my lips but not yet in my mouth. Frustrated, I finally leave my iPhone on the bed and take that sip. That very moment, I realized that while my hands clutched the cup, my eyes were glued to my phone, making it extremely hard for me to tilt my face away from my phone so I could relish my goddamn tea.

I was a Facebook post shy of being totally ashamed of myself for being so hooked on technology, so I made sure I finished my hot beverage. In this short-lived moment of shock and shame, I became aware of the many other times I missed out on the little moments in life just because of my hankering to stay “informed” on everything —important or trivial — around me.

How many times have we just strutted past a beautiful sight, maybe a scarlet- or

bronze-hued tree in the fall, because we were rigorously moving our thumbs on a 4-inch LCD screen? How many times have we seen an acquaintance from the corner of our eye, but quickly turned our heads to our “smart” buddies because that one smile or wave would require too much muscle power? And how many times have we frowned when someone tried to say something to us that required us to pull out those earphones?

It is indeed sad that in the hustle to be socially ahead in our “virtual” lives, we have almost taken a step backward from

that’s an ego boost right there, captured in that little blue box. It’s almost like we are rats waiting for that cheese trap of notifications on our glossy (or sometimes cracked) home screens.

As for the fear aspect of my reasoning, we are just scared of how face-to-face conversations would begin, more so, how would we force our brains to pay attention to just one person at a time? Obviously, there is no news feed that we can scroll through to juggle between different people’s lives, and we can’t choose to not reply when faced with a queasy situation. We are scared that the awkward si-

“It is indeed sad that in the hustle to be socially and politically ahead in our “virtual” lives, we have almost taken a step backward from our “real” lives. We humans, who are best known as the social species, are losing the element that sets us apart.” our “real” lives. We humans, who are best known as the social species, are losing the element that sets us apart. We are jeopardizing our ability to make social, personal connections in the traditional way: talking.

Some of the reasons for this behavior, as I extracted from my experiences, are that we want to feel special, and we are afraid of interactions.

When people on our friend lists take out the 3.5 seconds from their lives to look at our exotic vacations or “I am having Starbucks” selfies and then hit that “like” button, our social self does that little dance in our head.

Even further, if we can get the viewers to devote an extra 13 seconds to post a comment,

lences and gawky looks at each other’s faces might make us never want to see the person again. Sometimes, we are scared what opinions a person might have when they see the unedited, un-Photoshopped version of ourselves. And so we continue to punch in that 4-digit password and swing right back into our technology-driven lives.

What’s funny to note is that our emotions, although we are not really connecting too often, stay very much in tact. Our anger when our significant others do not comment on our pictures, our disappointment when the photo we edited for 30 minutes gets only three odd likes and, most importantly, our frustration when that virtual lifeline is tempo-

rarily cut off. Yes, when that little silver-colored, case-protected friend of ours, dies.

I was in the bus once going back from one campus to my dorm. Before the 15-minute ride even began, I clicked my tongue because my phone had died. I sat in a corner seat and just stared out the window, feeling purposeless, when it came to me that I had a notepad and maybe I will just pen down something while I ride the slow-moving Rutgers bus. As I started to scribble in my pad, I couldn’t find anything to write about because I couldn’t really look at anyone. Everyone’s faces were hanging loosely in a downward direction, and we all know why. That just left me feeling bored, and even science can prove this.

Scientists say multitasking between e-mails, phone calls and other incoming information can change how people think and behave, as reported the New York Times article “Attached to Technology and Paying a Price.” The impulse to respond to this information stirs up “excitement — a dopamine squirt — that researchers say can be addictive. In its absence, people feel bored.”

In spite of that realization, when I returned home, I immediately scrambled for my charger and sighed when the little Apple icon lit up on my screen. But that night, I made sure that my phone wasn’t sharing any space on my bed, because with technology, even sleeping (like sipping tea) can be extremely difficult.

Hamas not ISIS, ISIS not Hamas: UN speech misleading A WOMAN’S PLACE IS IN POLITICS MARGARITA ROSARIO

L

ast Monday, as the United Nations General Assembly approached its final speeches, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu surprised the global audience by likening the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria with Hamas, the Palestinian organization with whom Israel fought a belligerent and unequal “war” this past summer. Netanyahu blatantly stated, “Hamas is ISIS, and ISIS is Hamas.” The half-empty room was shaken by an awkward and unexpected applause, which, to me, was evidence of the power of Netanyahu’s fallacious rhetoric and the actual susceptibility of this putatively informed audience.

Likening ISIS to Hamas is not simply a scurrilous act of speech. It is also one that poses dangers of vast multitudes to the people of the Syria and Iraq, whose position requires deliberate attention from the international public — it is a danger for the Western and Middle Eastern Arabs, who are seeking to decr y the essentialist tendencies of the West. Most emphatically, it is a danger to the people of Palestine, who are being reduced to terrorists on profoundly beguiled grounds.

ISIS and Hamas have two very different missions. ISIS is a Pan-Islamic military organization that has, since its inception, been set on indiscriminately capturing surrounding territories in the name of Islam.

The organization is driven by extremist

ambitions such as ethnic and religious cleansing, which, in my knowledge, are contradictory to “Sharia,” or Islamic law.

ISIS is also notorious for its claim to represent all Muslims, which creates a real danger for Muslims around the globe that have, for the most part, completely rejected the theological basis of ISIS. One of the most menacing allegations coming from ISIS is the rightful practice of “jihad,” an Arabic term meaning “to struggle.” While the term “jihad” has become analogous for terrorism in the name of Islam, the term is supposed to signify the struggle for an

mosques and medical centers (and this, I stress, is a huge thing to disregard), Netanyahu’s claims had nothing to do with Hamas’ ability to provide for the Palestinian people. Rather, Netanyahu’s claims targeted the military branch of Hamas, which launched thousands of rockets at Israel this past summer in the 50-day battle between Israel and the people of Palestine. At this point, it seems necessary to remind readers that the deaths between Israeli civilians and Palestinian civilians were vastly disproportionate. According to the BBC, of the more than 2,100 Pales-

“ISIS is a terrorist organization in its own right, distinguishable from other extremist groups in the Middle East and absolutely standing in stark contrast to Hamas. It is deeply absurd, I think, to confuse the project of survival with the project of expansion and place both under the guise of terrorism.” inner and global reconciliation with Allah, or God. It is true that many people wrongfully interpret “jihad” to legitimize the perpetuation of violence, but it is certainly a fallacy to say terror falls into the rightful description of “jihad.” “Jihad” is supposed to be enacted as a way to suppress terror, not advance it. ISIS’ goals, thus stated, are in clear opposition to what most people esteem to be a rightful act of “jihad.”

Hamas is a Palestinian nationalist movement, which functions as the elected state government of Palestine, aimed at resisting Israeli expansion into the West Bank.

Disregarding that Hamas is the largest means of social welfare in Palestine contributing greatly to the running of schools,

tinians killed, nearly 1,500 were civilian, as opposed to seven Israeli civilians deaths.

This fact certainly does not exonerate Hamas’ liability for committing seriously acrimonious crimes against Israel in the past, including suicide bombings and the killing of Israeli soldiers in the West Bank. This is what Netanyahu so earnestly sought to appeal to. But for the sake of reason, let us not pretend that Palestinians and Israelis are fighting on equal grounds or with comparable capacity. The Israeli government has done exceedingly more harm to Palestinians than Palestinians have done to Israelis. Israelis have placed Palestinians in a constant state of precarity of the fear of imminent death.

Netanyahu hoped to paint a picture of a distraught and fearful Israel, as though having bomb shelters and the opportunity to escape to them is not disproportionately more than the Palestinians had. Of course, my aim is not to renounce the distress the Israeli people must have felt. Indeed, any situation of war is a vastly harrowing position. Rather, my aim is to elucidate the reality that surrounds the Israel/Palestine geopolitical arena.

The Palestinian people have been struggling for their survival against a threat imposed on them without their consent 66 years ago. They are fighting to be recognized as a country of Palestinians who live and work in Palestine. They are fighting for sovereignty — they are fighting for legitimacy and for the right to life. Palestinians are not the war criminals, as Netanyahu so ineptly suggested.

When Netanyahu purported that “ISIS and Hamas share a fanatical creed, which they both seek to impose well beyond the territory under their control,” he was effectively legitimizing Israel’s attack on Gaza under the guise of terror-control. But the fact is ISIS and Hamas are extremely divergent groups. ISIS is a terrorist organization in its own right, distinguishable from other extremist groups in the Middle East and absolutely standing in stark contrast to Hamas.

It is deeply absurd, I think, to confuse the project of survival with the project of expansion and to place both under the guise of terrorism.

STAGE Goodwin, Peoples rebound in second half for 49 yards after one yard in first CONTINUED FROM BACK per carry — and had 12 yards on a kick return.

What stood out most was Grant’s ability to evade tackles and use his speed to make plays.

“It’s my athleticism and my speed. I put those two together and made things work,” Grant said. “I see those plays before they unfold, then I just make my move and go.”

But aside from his speed and athleticism, something else makes Grant special. According to teammates, Grant is one of the best dancers on the team and that has made an impact on his game.

“I think it does,” Grant said when asked if being a good dancer helps on the field. “Just a little bit in my hips, it helps me move around, shake opponents and make people miss.” *** In the first half, sophomore run-

ning backs Justin Goodwin and Desmon Peoples had seven combined carries for only one rushing yard.

Michigan’s defense came into the game allowing 3.0 yards per carry, and on Saturday, Rutgers only averaged 2.5 yards per carry in the game.

In the second half, Goodwin and Peoples opened up the running game slightly, combining to end the game with 49 yards. Peoples felt they stepped it up.

“We knew it was going to be like that, actually,” Peoples said. “Our coaches were telling us at the beginning of the week that we had just got to keep pounding it, keep pounding it, and it will definitely open up for us in the end — and that’s what it did. It’s definitely gratifying because we play tough and never quit on the run game. We never gave up.”

WIN Nova embraces parents in on-field celebration after fans storm field CONTINUED FROM FRONT and hugging his father and brother. “Feels Like the First Time” blasted over the loudspeakers as other Knights energized themselves with the crowd.

Senior quarterback Gary Nova, who has been through countless highs and lows in his college career, embraced his parents in an emotional moment.

“It’s something you remember forever,” Nova said. “It’s the reason why you play college football — for moments like that.”

Few will sleep more soundly than Nova after this one.

In front of 53,327 fans, the third-largest crowd in stadium history, Rutgers’ much-maligned quarterback finally came through on a big stage, even when little materialized around him.

Sophomores Desmon Peoples and Justin Goodwin rushed for a combined yard in the first half as the Wolverines’ stingy defensive front clogged the interior. Rutgers’ running backs finished with only 49 yards on the ground as the team generated 74 total — by far its lowest output of the season.

Nova even briefly lost Carroo, arguably Rutgers’ best player, during a first-quarter drive in which the receiver took a hard hit from Michigan safety Jarrod Wilson after making a third-down catch.

But the quarterback responded with one of his finest nights in Piscataway, completing 22-of-39 passes for three touchdowns, no interceptions and a career-high 404 yards.

Three weeks after five interceptions doomed Rutgers in its 13-10 loss to Penn State, Nova stayed poised.

“I feel like he had something to prove,” Carroo said of his longtime teammate since high school. “He came up short in the Penn State game, but this game you saw a different Gary. You saw him more confident ... and I knew he was going to have a great game from the

moment we got off the bus. He knew he wasn’t going to go out like he did versus Penn State. He was going to come out here and he was going to execute, and I’m extremely proud of him.”

But when the game was ultimately on the line, the ball was out of Nova’s hands.

Starting from their own 14-yard line down by two points, quarterback Devin Gardner drove the Wolverines 48 yards down to Rutgers’ 38-yard line. Less than four minutes remained.

Gardner appeared to find wide receiver Amara Darboh along the

sideline for a first down, but the pass was ruled incomplete once the ball came loose as Darboh fell to the ground.

After a failed challenge to reverse the call, Michigan head coach Brady Hoke sent out kicker Matt Wile for a career-long 56yard field goal attempt to potentially win the game.

The rest was history, as redshirt freshman defensive end Kemoko Turay leaped into the air and extended all of his 6-foot-6 frame to record his third blocked kick of the season.

“It was almost surreal at that point, because you hear the thud, thud and you think, ‘Wow, we are going to seal this thing away right now,’“ said senior linebacker Kevin Snyder. “It was amazing.”

After one first down on a 3-yard rush from Peoples, Rutgers ran out the rest of the clock.

The celebrations ensued, and there was nothing to take away from the Knights on this night.

“They got a chance tonight to be a part of something that no other football team will ever get a chance to be a part of because this was the first [Big Ten win],” said head coach Kyle Flood. “And when it happens for the first time, it’s special, and I think it’s something that the University will remember, the state will remember, but this team got a chance to actually be a part of it and do it. And it’s a great memory that they should take with them the rest of their lives.”

October 6, 2014 FIELD HOCKEY RUTGERS 2, NEW HAMPSHIRE 1

Knights snap losing streak behind junior’s two goals RYAN MORAN STAFF WRITER

The losing streak has finally ended at five games, as the Rutgers field hockey team was able to come away with a home win Sunday against New Hampshire, 2-1.

The Scarlet Knights (5-6) ran into some tough luck having lost four of their last five games to ranked opponents by one goal.

Rutgers got on the board early when junior for ward Katie Champion scored twice in the first 16 minutes.

The Wildcats (3-9) cut the lead in half 12 minutes into the second half thanks to midfielder Gianna Benasia’s goal, but ultimately their comeback fell shor t.

“It felt really good,” said head coach Meredith Long. “I think the team came out with the right mindset. It’s great to get the win.”

Unfortunately, Rutgers was not able to get the weekend sweep as it fell Friday to No. 20 Michigan State (7-4), 3-2.

The Knights got on the board early when sophomore defender Sophia Walia dribbled through the Spartans’ defense and score.

It was Walia’s first game back after missing the last three games.

“It was nice to be back, finally,” Walia said. “It was nice to catch up to the progression

TIAN LI / STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER / FILE PHOTO / SEPTEMBER 2014 that we’ve been making and to be back with my teammates.”

The turning point in the game came at the 23-minute mark when Spartan for ward Abby Barker was able to put one in the back of the net unassisted.

In the next 10 minutes, Michigan State added two more goals from defender Ali Helwig and for ward Kendal Anderson, taking a 3-1 lead into the half.

“In the first half we set the tone early by scoring first and I

think after that we had just a bit of a mental lapse,” Long said. “In that next 10 minute-period they put three goals in and we put ourselves in a situation that was really hard to come back from.”

Sophomore for ward Rachel Yaney had a breakaway one-onone with the goalie, but like the offense throughout this season, she failed to take advantage.

The Knights unlike past games were able to generate a lot more opportunities on offense.

“I think that was something we focused on a lot this week,” Long said. “Just retaining possession in our front third and generating quality opportunities, and I definitely think we had that today. We just really need to put the ball in the goal, though.”

Rutgers lost some momentum when Walia (50:52) got a yellow card, followed by Elyse Broderick (52:57) shortly after.

The offense was nonexistent

and the Knights played most of the seven minutes in their half.

Although the Knights played a player down, they did not let in a goal.

“We were ver y composed and played strong, smart defense instead of diving in and committing fouls,” said sophomore midfielder Alyssa Bull.

WOMEN’S CROSS COUNTRY PAUL SHORT INVITATIONAL

RU earns experience at invitational MIKE O’SULLIVAN STAFF WRITER

The Rutgers women’s cross country team knew how big of a test the Paul Short Invitational was going to be Saturday, but the Scarlet Knights were able to achieve the goal they had discussed prior to the race.

In a 38-team field featuring nationally ranked teams like Georgetown and Florida State, the Knights finished 27th overall but saw four runners post their personal-best times on the 6K course in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania.

During the week, head coach James Robinson said that his goal was for the team to run its personal bests on the course and to not get overwhelmed by the competition or extra distance.

Despite the sloppy course conditions caused by morning rain, junior Paige Senatore led the Knights, placing 76th overall with a time of 21:26, marking a 30-second improvement upon her time in last year’s Paul Short race.

Senior Brianna Deming was the next placing runner for the Knights, finishing in 103rd place with a time of 21:47 in the race against 329 other runners.

Freshman Megan Coakley ran a time of 21:58, with senior Allison Payenski finishing close behind in 22:00.

Two freshmen were the next two scorers for the Knights, as

Julia DeSpirito and Alexandra Juzwiak clocked in at 22:58 and 23:11, respectively.

Sophomore Kaitlyn Bedard rounded out the scoring for the team, completing the 6K in a time of 23:13.

“Overall, we’re pleased,” Robinson said. “We’d like to do better as a team, but the main point of the competition was to go against great competition to prepare for championship season.”

He was especially pleased with Rutgers’ top-four runners, which included three veterans

“I feel like I was actually more prepared than I thought I was.

The coaches were really good with that.”

MEGAN COAKLEY Freshman

and a newcomer racing a 6K for the first time.

“Our top four runners had huge personal bests,” he said. “It was the first time I can recall that we ever had four runners run under 22:00 in that particular race. … Three of our top six were freshmen, and it was their first 6K in their lifetime, so that’s another reason why you want to have this meet now to face great competition.”

For Coakley, it was her first 6K and she was not sure about

how she would perform, but credited the team’s practice and training that helped her prepare for the added distance.

“Since I’ve never run a 6K before, I was a little apprehensive about it,” she said. “But, I think with all the training coach Jan [Merrill-Morin] has been giving us and all the workouts we’ve been doing, I feel like I was actually more prepared than I thought I was. The coaches were really good with that in getting us to run our first 6K as freshmen.”

Merrill-Morin, the team’s assistant coach, was impressed with how the freshmen coped with running a longer race.

“Megan Coakley ran third for us and looked excellent,” she said. “Julia DeSpirito and Alex Juzwiak had a ver y good running for their first 6K. … Overall it was a good learning experience.”

Though there was morning rain that impacted the first few early races, Coakley said that if anything, it aided the team.

“It was a little muddy on the course, but by the time our race rolled around it was kind of sunny,” she said. “It was actually pretty nice because it was pretty cool from the rain, so I think that helped because I know last year it was ver y hot for them running that race.”

October 6, 2014 WOMEN’S SOCCER NO. 25 RUTGERS 4, PURDUE 0

Rutgers’ offense awakens in dominant home performance GARRETT STEPIEN CORRESPONDENT

In the Rutgers women’s soccers team’s 1-0 edging of Indiana on Thursday night, head coach Mike O’Neill acknowledged the obvious sluggish play.

Coming off an exhausting road trip, the No. 25 Rutgers women’s soccer team could have pulled out all of the excuses in the book.

But rather than making excuses, the Scarlet Knights emphasized the importance of learning from their mistakes and correcting them with Purdue coming to Yurcak Field on Sunday.

And with a 4-0 domination of the Boilermakers, it’s safe to say that the Knights did just that.

While he insisted he was satisfied with the win over Indiana, O’Neill admitted he wanted to see more out of his players and that they expected the same of themselves.

After two days of rest, the Knights came back at 100 percent, and the conviction in their play throughout the entire 90 minutes of the contest showed it.

“We talked about how we were going to respond from Thursday, and we responded really well,” O’Neill said. “We were really good on both sides of the ball, we finished our opportunities, we talked about being composed and taking advantage of the opportunities we had, but we also talked about the build up

Junior forward Amanda Devolk recorded her first two goals of the season as the Knights picked up their offensive game with a 4-0 rout. TIAN LI / STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER / FILE PHOTO / SEPTEMBER 2014 and how we were going to get ourselves there.”

Evidently, that build up began with senior for ward Stef Scholz.

In the 16th minute, Scholz struck with the first goal of the game after a feed from junior midfielder Hayley Katkowski.

Scholz netted her fifth goal of the season and moved into ninth place on the program’s all-time goals list.

“I was at the corner on that throw, but there was the ball in the box, and it popped out to Hayley,” Scholz said. “Before the game, we talked about using the

widths, so I tried to hold the [defensive] line out wide, and Hay put a good ball in.”

For Rutgers (9-1-1, 5-1-1), taking care of a below-average team in Purdue (6-7-1, 2-6) was an imperative task. With the third win in a row, the Knights find themselves in a good position, as they

near the top of the Big Ten with the three points obtained from beating the Boilermakers.

Scholz remained a catalyst for the Knights on offense, finding junior forward Amanda DeVolk for the score to create some distance between the Boilermakers with a 2-0 lead.

It was the first of two goals on the day for DeVolk, who put the nail in Purdue’s coffin after tapping in a goal on the right side of an open net on a cross by freshman forward Jessie Sexton in the 80th minute.

Along with Katkowski’s goal in the 34th minute and Scholz’s early strike, DeVolk’s two scores added up to what was an aggressive day for Rutgers on the offensive side of the ball.

DeVolk, whose two goals were the first of the season, pointed to the discipline of the Knights to learn from their mistakes and maximize their brand of play.

With a trip out to No. 9 Penn State looming this Saturday, the adjustments come at the right time.

“From today’s win, I think it really showed us we have to stick to the game plan,” DeVolk said. “We made a really big effort of following all of the things we set out to do and executing the game plan, and I think that was the biggest thing that helped us stay successful today.”

MEN’S SOCCER NO. 4 PENN STATE 1, RUTGERS 0

Forward’s late strike puts end to unbeaten road run SEAN STEWART ASSOCIATE SPORTS EDITOR

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. — In the opening 10 seconds of the first half, Penn State forward Connor Maloney had already made his presence felt, when his shot from distance struck the far post of the Rutgers men’s soccer team’s goal.

With 12 minutes remaining in regulation, it was once again Maloney who put the game into his own feet.

The reigning Big Ten Offensive and ECAC Division I Player of the Week found himself through on goal, following an overtop ball from midfielder Brian James off a turnover in the midfield.

Maloney proceeded to muscle off his defender and take a touch to the right, past charging Scarlet Knights’ goalkeeper David Greczek and scoring on the empty net to clinch the game 1-0 for the No. 4 Nittany Lions (10-0-1, 4-0-0) Saturday night at Jeffrey Field.

It was Maloney’s conference-high eighth goal of the season and a justified result given the difference in play: Penn State outshot Rutgers, 22-5.

It was also a disappointing performance in head coach Dan Donigan’s eyes, given the team’s impressive road draw at No. 17 Michigan State a week ago.

“I just feel that when you play a game like this, in this environment, on the road, against a good

team, you can still get a good end result, and we weren’t far from it,” Donigan said. “And again, for me, the minor little details of the game led to that game-winning goal by Maloney, who … made a great play, but that absolutely could have been stopped.”

Rutgers (3-5-1, 1-2-1) appeared to be on its way to stealing another point on the road following a dismal first half.

Junior defender Drew Morgan returned to start the second half following several weeks out with a head injury, and Penn State appeared to be fatigued playing its second game in four days.

But despite the improved second half, the Knights struggled to get anything going in the attack.

In fact, it took 55 minutes for Rutgers to register a shot on goal, when a hopeful long-range effort from junior forward J.P. Correa went straight at Penn State goalkeeper Andrew Wolverton.

Part of the struggle to build consistent attacks, or even possession, came from the relentless pressure the Lions presented.

Playing a unique three-back system, Penn State clogged the midfield with five players and was sound with its defensive shifts and positioning.

Donigan attempted to counter in the second half by playing three in central midfield and moving junior defender Mitchell Taintor out on the wing. But nothing seemed to work against the Lions’ defense, which ranks first in the Big Ten in shutouts and goals against average (0.27).

“We just needed something a little more to threaten these guys a little more … but we still weren’t getting much going forward,” Donigan said. “We just tried to let [Taintor] loose a little bit, but obviously, it didn’t work very well.”

The three-back formation gave Rutgers plenty of problems defensively. With two outside midfielders playing as both wingers and outside backs, the Lions’ width on the field was difficult for the Knights to keep track of.

With Rutgers’ defense spread out trying to mark the extra midfielders, Maloney and forward Mikey Minutillo, second in Big Ten with five goals, had more room to operate in and combine

with their teammates.

This was evident in the first half with the Lions outshooting Rutgers, 12-0, and including two one-on-one breakaways that saw Greczek, once again, standing on his head for much of the game.

“They were very organized with their play,” Morgan said of Penn State. “Their shape was pretty strong, and we couldn’t break through it and then we couldn’t keep the ball. That was probably one of the worst soccer [games] I feel like we’ve played.”

The win for Penn State was its fourth consecutive 1-0 victory against Big Ten competition and makes it a perfect 7-0-0 at home.

The loss puts an end to the Knights’ unbeaten record on the road and sees them winless in their last four games, scoring just one goal.

At the midpoint of the season, Rutgers’ chances to increase its RPI are continuing to dwindle. The loss against the team it beat 4-1 last year at Yurcak Field leaves few positives to take from.

“We all felt at halftime that it wasn’t a good showing,” said sophomore midfielder Erik Sa. “I think in the second half, we came out pretty strong, so I don’t know too many positives to come out of this game, to be completely honest with you.

But definitely, we’re going to watch the tape [for] negatives and figure out how to solve [them].”

Turay blocks kick, saves game on big stage TYLER KARALEWICH

He only collected half a sack, which was something he wasn’t entirely happy about.

But when Michigan placekicker Matt Wile lined up for a potential career-long 56-yard field goal with three minutes left in the fourth, fans of Rutgers football knew they had seen this show before and that it didn’t end well.

At least until Turay decided to make the impact he was waiting to make all game.

With a low trajectory on the kick due to the longer length, Turay showed his athletic ability and used his left hand to send the football back. It was something that Turay didn’t entirely expect after his week of practice.

“I had it under control, but in practice, I was messing up a lot. I was timing the kicker

The night was already special for redshirt freshman Kemoko Turay before Saturday’s game against Michigan even started.

Although there was a sold-out crowd of 53,327 fans, it was only a small collection of people that mattered most to Turay. The family of “The Dragon” came up from Georgia, so Turay already felt the need to show up and per form long before the game even star ted.

Throughout the game, Turay kept looking for opportunities, but kept coming up short.

wrong,” Turay said. “We practice this every day in practice, and sometimes you have good days and bad days. I just told myself I had to keep keying on the kicker and his steps.”

The result was something great, Turay said. He now has an NCAA-leading three blocked kicks this season.

But the block culminated with his family in attendance for the sold-out crowd and a Rutgers win.

“Today was a beautiful day — my family came from Georgia,” Turay said. “I told myself I had to make sure I did everything right and [not] make mistakes, and I stayed focused and helped the team out.” ***

ANDREW TURZILLI,

senior wide receiver, had his first career multi-touchdown game against Michigan.

Turzilli hauled in two scores for the Rutgers football team, including an 80-yard catch for the second straight week.

Sophomore wide receiver Janarion Grant had one of the most complete offensive games of his Rutgers career so far.

Grant was targeted more than any other receiver on the Knights and got touches in creative ways that illuminated offensive coordinator Ralph Friedgen’s creativity.

Along with returning kicks and punts, as he has done all season and last, Grant also carried the ball twice and caught three passes.

Grant also had the most all-purpose yards on the team with 122 total yards. He had three catches for 87 yards, two rushes for 23 yards — leading the team with 11.5 yards SEE STAGE ON PAGE 13
