U. brings new programs to community college LIN LAN CORRESPONDENT

Nearly 90 miles south of New Brunswick, students at Atlantic Cape Community College are earning four-year bachelor’s degrees from Rutgers without ever stepping foot on Rutgers’ campus.

ACCC will offer a continuing education law class beginning on Dec.

12 and a tax assessment class in 2015 through Rutgers, according to the Press of Atlantic City. Rutgers will also offer summer courses at Atlantic Cape’s campuses in Atlantic City and Cape May Court House.

In late September, a 4-year-old boy died of a virus overshadowed in the media by the Ebola crisis, marking the first New Jersey-related death from Enterovirus D68, according to the New Jersey Department of Health.

The virus, which is thought to be spread by hand contact, like rubbing one’s eyes or nose and then

reaching for commonly-touched items like doorknobs, is circulating around the nation, said George Rhoads, interim dean of the Rutgers School of Public Health.

There is no vaccine for the virus, so Rhoads said good hygiene is important to minimize its spread.

While hand washing is very important, hand sanitizer does not kill EV-D68 because it kills bacteria, not the virus. He also stressed not sharing utensils.

“I think people should pay special attention to washing their hands, tr ying to keep surfaces clean that are constantly used by people and good personal hygiene,” Rhoads said.

Many cases of this particular strain of Enterovirus, which has more than 100 strains, were found this past summer in Kansas City and Chicago. The virus has been SEE ENTEROVIRUS ON PAGE 4

Northwestern professor sues student for damages ERIN PETENKO ASSOCIATE NEWS EDITOR

Northwestern University professor Peter Ludlow filed a defamation suit on Oct. 25 against the student he claims cost him a job at Rutgers.

Ludlow is asking for more than $120,000 in damages from the student, a Northwestern senior who claims Ludlow assaulted her in 2012, according to an article in The Daily Northwestern.

He said the lawsuit and allegations brought against him cost him a position and his status at Northwestern, located in Evanston, Illinois.

Rutgers was in the process of hiring Ludlow when the Northwestern student contacted Rutgers. In a statement in July, Greg Trevor, senior director of Media Relations, said Rutgers requested information about the allegations, which was not provided, and would not hire Ludlow.

Ludlow’s lawyer, Kristen Case, said the requested information was confidential, according to the article.

He had been offered a job as director of Rutgers’ Center for Cognitive Science and a professor in the Department of Philosophy, according to an article in The Daily Targum.

After the allegations came to light, Rutgers’ Women Organizing Against Harassment launched a campaign to perform better background checks on professors before hiring.

According to the suit filed in Illinois’ Cook County Circuit Court, Ludlow claims the student made advances toward him at an art show in Chicago that he rejected.

The student said Ludlow bought her alcohol and ignored her requests to return to Evanston, according to The Daily Northwestern. The student lost consciousness and woke up in Ludlow’s apartment.

An April 2012 investigation from Northwestern concluded Ludlow bought the student alcohol and made “unwelcome and inappropriate” sexual advances, but did not conclude that sexual assault had occurred, according to the article.

The student sued Northwestern in February, alleging the university handled the case with indifference and retaliation. The suit may have cost Ludlow an appointment to an endowed professorship and a pay raise, according to the article.

Ludlow in turn sued Northwestern in June for defamation, gender discrimination and invasion of privacy.

Director talks women in film industry ANKUSH RAVAL CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Women go to see films made by women, and men go to see films made by men, Debra Zimmerman said. If there are no women filmmakers, women are forced to see films by men, which they may not par ticularly like.

“There were more women working in Hollywood in 1928 than there are now,” she said.

Zimmerman, the executive director of the nonprofit Women Make Movies, spoke at Trayes Hall in the Douglass Student Center last night about how women are discriminated against in the film industr y.

Women Make Movies was established in 1972 and aims to address the underrepresentation and misrepresentation of women in the media, according to its website. It helps women raise funds to produce and distribute their movies.

U. cricket club ranks third in national listings SARBJOT KAUR DHILLON CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Moving up five spaces on national listings, the Rutgers University Cricket Club is now ranked third from its previous spot in eighth place.

RUCC won the regional tournament for the North East Championship and went to nationals in Tampa, Florida, during spring break. They competed against 25 other teams and played about one or two games on a daily basis. The games were broadcast live on ESPNC and later on TV Asia.

Yatin Tuteja, president of the RUCC, grew up playing cricket in India. When he came to America in 2008, he found the sport was scarcely played. This fueled his decision to apply to Rutgers when he found the University had a cricket team.

“I still loved that sport, so I wanted to come here and become a part of the team,” said Tuteja, a School of Engineering junior.

Cricket is the second-most popular sport in the world, right behind soccer, according to ESPN. The playing field is an oval, grassy space about 450 to 500 feet in diameter.

At least 11 players are present on the fielding team, two for the batting team and two umpires during a cricket game. Each team has a 12th player who poses as an alternate. The batting team members are called batsmen. The fielding team members, who bowl the ball, are called bowlers.

Two batsmen are present at any given time. They try to hit the ball after it is bowled and then switch positions. The batsman facing the bowler is called the striker, and the batsman standing away from the pitch is the non-striker. The goal is to score runs at bat and overs on the field.

Tuteja had been team captain for his high school track team, a feat recognized by the prior president. Tuteja said the president be-

The Rutgers University Cricket Club conducts two-hour practices on the weekend and occasionally during the week in either North Brunswick or Sayreville. RUCRICKET. RUTGERS.EDU lieved he could take over the role due to the similar responsibilities.

The team holds two-hour practices on the weekend and occasionally during the week if enough members are available. The practices are always held in either North Brunswick or Sayreville, Tuteja said.

“Everyone is really motivated to practice and get better for the tournaments,” Tuteja said. “We have been working very hard.”

Although most players have some background experience, it is not required to try out for the team, said Udit Patel, vice captain of RUCC. “We’ve already had four to five people try out without knowing what cricket was about,” said Patel, School of Environmental and Biological Sciences senior.

He joined the team in 2010 and helped the team in Florida.

Dhanraj Rathod, vice president of RUCC, joined the team in the fall of 2012, but he said the experience was intimidating at first. He left after 10 minutes of tr y-outs because he thought the team was far too big, and he did not recognize anyone.

“I’m kind of a shy person,” said Rathod, Newark College of Arts and Sciences senior. “I didn’t tell anyone I was leaving. [The captain] called me and said, ‘Hey Dhanraj! Why did you leave?’”

The captain encouraged Rathod to attend the next practice, and he soon found the community welcoming.

Despite the large roster of the club, RUCC lacks sufficient funds every season. The University allots the team $1,000, but the fee for the regional tournament is $500, and the

fee for the national tournaments is $400, Rathod said. The leftover money is not enough to sustain the team.

“Every player donates $200 to the club. We try to keep the club running,” he said.

RUCC holds a Super Six Tournament to fundraise. Six to eight teams compete during the spring semester, Tuteja said.

The club posts practice schedules and events on their Facebook page. They keep in touch by collecting ever y teammate’s NetID and using Sakai to send messages to one another.

“I tr y to make sure ever ybody knows that it’s not just a team,” Rathod said. “It’s a family.”

Rutgers junior wakes from coma ERIN PETENKO ASSOCIATE NEWS EDITOR

Rutgers junior Timmy McDonnell is out of his coma after spending 25 days in critical care, The Asbur y Park Press repor ted on Nov. 3.

A car struck McDonnell the morning of Oct. 4 on Easton Avenue near Olde Queens Tavern, according to an ar ticle in The Daily Targum. He was taken to Rober t Wood Johnson University Hospital for treatment.

This Wednesday, he was transferred to Kessler Insti-

He began speech and physical rehabilitation on Thursday.

PROGRAMS Atlantic Cape Community College will offer continuing education law, tax assessment classes CONTINUED FROM FRONT

Rutgers, emphasized the strong relationship between the two schools, which have been working together for at least five years.

The long-standing partnership with Rutgers allows ACCC to bring students outside programs that would not otherwise be available to them.

“Atlantic has been a phenomenally productive partnership,” Morris said, adding that Rutgers has collaborated with six different community colleges across the state. “It is one of the most successful partnerships we’ve had.”

The latest addition of programs are starting in December and running through the summer. They include a continuing education course in legal ethics, a tax administration course in the spring and a series of different topics in the summer.

Both the legal and tax administration courses hope to target specific areas of study that are currently most needed, particularly in these fields since continuing education is a necessary part of the job, Morris said.

The legal course is meant to help current lawyers meet the mandatory continuing education requirements in ethics, while the tax course is designed to help tax assessors earn their certificates.

Sean Fischer, dean of Resource Development at ACCC, said via

email that the mayor’s office hopes to promote the long-term recovery of Atlantic City through greater access to higher education.

“This [degree completion] partnership is really the centerpiece of the Rutgers and Atlantic Cape partnership, and the continuing education offerings from RU at the Worthington Atlantic City Campus are an offshoot of that,” he said.

Richard Novak, vice president for Continuing Studies and Distance Education at Rutgers, met with ACCC president Peter Mora and Atlantic City Mayor Don Guardian in May, Morris said. Representing their respective institutions, they discussed how to achieve the goal of economic development and identified areas that most needed help.

Elizabeth Beasley, director of the New Brunswick Summer Session, said via email that Rutgers was approached by the city requesting courses that are not currently available to ACCC students.

“We are excited about making these new opportunities available to students who want to progress toward their degrees, but are not able to commute to campus in summer,” she said.

The biggest challenge will be spreading the word to prospective students so they know the program is available for them.

The Cape May and Atlantic City campuses of the school were chosen for these courses, and Rutgers took a survey of all Rutgers

students who matriculated last spring to find the last location, Beasley said.

The Belmar and Point Pleasant area was the most popular choice, so Beasley is now working with the Point Pleasant Beach School District to identify a site where Rutgers can offer courses this summer.

The survey also helped the administration identify subject areas of interest. Using the results, Rutgers is planning a four-week course called “RU at the Shore.”

Summer courses cover topics like history, journalism and busi-

ness, and the staff is currently planning a one-week visual arts course that it hopes to offer at a hotel near the shore.

“They asked for a greater Rutgers presence in Atlantic City, particularly that we bring noncredit professional development programs and summer credit-bearing courses,” Beasley said. “[We can] also … better serve our matriculated students who spend time at the shore.”

Morris credited Andrew Rossner, associate dean for Professional and Skills Education and director of

the Institute for Professional Education at the Newark School of Law, and Alan Zalkind, director of the Center for Government Services at Rutgers, both of who are volunteering their time to help organize and teach the courses.

Rossner began coordinating with local lawyers in Atlantic City to figure out what kind of programming they needed, Morris added.

“They could have easily said no, but they both rallied immediately,” he said. “It makes you feel good about the service orientation of the University.”

Premature tail deployment may explain Virgin Galactic crash MOJAVE Calif. - A team investigating the fatal test-flight crash of a Virgin Galactic passenger spaceship found that its rotating tail, designed to ease reentry into the atmosphere, was activated prematurely, and said pilot error could not be ruled out.

The preliminary findings of the National Transportation Safety Board were disclosed late Sunday by its acting chairman, Christopher Hart, but he said it was too soon to know whether the untimely unlocking of the tail mechanism caused Friday’s accident.

The suborbital rocket plane dubbed SpaceShipTwo was undergoing its first powered test flight since January over California’s Mojave Desert when it crashed shortly after the craft separated from the special jet aircraft that had carried it aloft for its high-altitude launch.

One pilot was killed, and the other survived with serious injuries after ejecting from the spacecraft and parachuting to the ground.

SpaceShipTwo, developed by the fledgling space tourism company of billionaire entrepreneur Richard Branson, was designed to carry wealthy passengers on short rides into space, with Virgin Galactic planning to begin offering its first flights to paying customers next spring.

The crash came three days after the unmanned rocket of another private space company, Orbital Sciences Corp, exploded during liftoff from a commercial launch pad in Virginia on a mission to deliver cargo to the International Space Station under contract with NASA. Yesterday, Branson vowed to determine the cause of Friday’s crash and correct the problem. “We need

to know exactly what happened to make absolutely certain it will never happen again,” he told CBS’s “This Morning” program.

NTSB’s Hart told a news conference on Sunday investigators had determined that the spacecraft’s ‘feathering’ tail system, designed to help slow its descent into the atmosphere from space, was supposed to have been released for deployment as the craft was traveling about 1.4 times the speed of sound.

Instead, the feather began rotating when the rocket-powered vehicle was traveling at Mach 1, the speed of sound.

Hart said the feathering tail system, which folds the vehicle in half aerodynamically to create more atmospheric drag, appeared from video footage to have been unlocked early by the co-pilot. About two seconds later, the space plane’s tail section began to rotate.

“I’m not stating that this is the cause of the mishap. We have months and months of investigation to determine what the cause was,” Hart said.

Asked if pilot error was a possible factor, Hart said: “We are looking at all of these issues to determine what was the root cause of this mishap ... We are looking at a number of possibilities, including that possibility.”

Branson early NTSB findings indicated to him that premature tail deployment could be a possibility.

“They’re indicating that that may well be the cause, but we need them to examine it further and let us know,” he told NBC’s “Today” show.

SpaceShipTwo was released normally from the carrier jet

The rocket motor, fueled for the first time in flight with a new plastic-based propellant formula, then ignited as planned, Hart said.

SpaceShipTwo’s propellant tanks and engine were recovered intact, indicating there was no explosion. “The engine burn was normal up until the

extension of the feathers,” Har t told repor ters.

About 800 people have paid or put down deposits for a ride into space at $250,000 a seat and Branson plans to be on the first commercial flight with his son.

Branson said yesterday his company’s venture is “absolutely” worth the risks.

“It’s a grand program, which has had a horrible setback, but I don’t think anybody … would want us to abandon it at this stage,” he told NBC. Virgin Galactic is a U.S. offshoot of the London-based Virgin Group founded by Branson, whose empire ranges from airlines to music stores and mobile phones.

Hyundai, Kia to pay fine for incorrect fuel ratings

ELECTION EMBRACE A pro-Russian separatist embraces a woman while celebrating the end

of voting day for the leadership and local parliamentary election of Donetsk People’s Republic in the center of Donetsk on Sunday. REUTERS

WASHINGTON/DETROIT Hyundai Motor Co. and affiliate Kia Motors Corp. will pay a $100 million penalty for selling cars with worse fuel economy than the companies had claimed in what U.S. authorities termed the largest such accord to date.

Yesterday’s settlement with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the U.S. Department of Justice and the California Air Resources Board resolves an investigation of the South Korean carmakers’ 2012 overstatement of fuel economy ratings.

“This will send an important message to automakers around the world that they must comply with the law,” said Attorney General Eric Holder.

Under the accord, which involved the sale of 1.2 million cars and SUVs, the companies will also spend around $50 million to prevent future violations and forfeit emissions credits estimated to be worth over $200 million.

The greenhouse gas emissions that the forfeited credits would have allowed are equal to the emissions from powering more than 433,000 homes for a year, the EPA said.

“Businesses that play by the rules shouldn’t have to compete

with those breaking the law,” said EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy.

McCarthy said Hyundai and Kia had committed the most egregious violation of the reporting standards.

She declined to say whether other violators may also be fined.

“Every automaker will be looking carefully at its current testing procedure to avoid a similar penalty in the future,” said Karl Brauer, senior analyst at Kelley Blue Book’s KBB.com, who noted “frustration in the gray area between automakers’ stated mpg numbers and the real-world results experienced by car owners.”

In November 2012, Hyundai and Kia conceded they overstated fuel economy by at least a mile per gallon on vehicles after the EPA found errors for 13 Hyundai and Kia models from the 2011 to 2013 model years. Hyundai said at the time that the affected cars’ reported fuel economy would be adjusted by 1 to 2 miles per gallon.

Hyundai and Kia both increased their shares of the U.S. new-vehicle market in the past decade, particularly during the economic downturn of 2008 to 2010 when consumers craved fuel-efficient and relatively low-priced vehicles.

Why do iPhones look like Android phones?

TYLER GOLD STAFF WRITER

A new iPhone was recently released. This means that I have been talking about the new iPhone to a lot of people. So much so that I have begun to notice a trend in these particular conversations.

One of the things that came up the most when talking to these people is, unsurprisingly, the size of the screen. When someone picks up my iPhone 6, more often than not they say, “This is the small one?”

The new 4.7-inch display is a huge change from the 3.5-inch and 4-inch screens on past iPhones.

Is this an effort to mimic Android phones? Such devices have had big displays for a long time now. Last week’s Tech Tuesday section featured a story titled “Supersized screens see growing trend in technology,” which gave examples of how big-screened devices haven’t just been around for a while, but have established themselves as part of the future.

People want their phones to do more stuff, so naturally, our phones have grown and adapted to that need.

The smartphone is at an interesting point. There’s not really such a thing as a “bad phone” anymore. Even the phones we carry

in our pockets are more powerful than the computer that sent Apollo 11 to the moon. The iPhone 5s, released in 2012, ran at 1,300 Mhz, more than 1,000 times faster than Apollo 11’s measly 1.024 Mhz. This rapid, exponential yearover-year growth is known as Moore’s Law, named after Intel co-founder Gordon Moore. According to Intel’s website, the law states, “The number of transistors incorporated in a chip will approximately double every 24 months.”

That means processing power would also roughly double every two years.

Software is following a similar trend. Every major mobile operating system has vastly evolved in a relatively short timespan.

Now that Android and iOS have had time to mature, we can see the priorities behind both operating systems. Let’s take a look at the fall updates for each platform and what they mean for the future of mobile accomplishers. iOS8 is Apple’s attempt to make the software more open to developers. For the first time, apps can “talk” to each other, which means you can share a link to Twitter from inside your favorite news app without actually having to open up Twitter. iOS 8 enables developers to do more with the operating system

than ever before, opening new doors for how we interact with iPhones. iOS 8’s new share window is a first for the iPhone, but Android has had the same feature set in since the beginning.

On the other hand, Android is only just now finally beginning to develop a cohesive, unique design language, which they call Material Design, to be introduced in the newest version of Android.

Android 5.0 Lollipop is the most beautiful, stable and reliable version of Android ever, but keeps the extreme customizability that Android is known for. In the past, Android was notorious for inconsistently designed apps and crashes, even on the most powerful devices.

The iPhone, originally so focused on working smoothly that users couldn’t even change the home screen wallpaper, is now becoming more friendly to developers and granting them more freedom. Android, the bastion of openness, is now focusing on making their platform attractive and consistent in an effort to appeal to non-technical users.

We’ve finally hit the point where both platforms have accomplished their original goals, so now these companies are replicating these features across platforms.

This is a bigger deal than it sounds. Smartphones are quick-

Supersized screens for smartphones have recently become a trend in the world of technology. TYLER GOLD ly reaching their final form. How much thinner can a phone get?

How much bigger can a display get? How much faster can the software respond? The answer: Not much.

This means that we’re soon going to start seeing new device form factors. Most people, Apple and Google included, would bet that the next revolution is on our wrists.

Google announced Android Wear, its wearable version of Android, over the summer, and manufacturers have already begun shipping retail units like Motoro-

la’s Moto 360. In September, Apple announced their upcoming Apple Watch to grand fanfare, calling it their “most personal” device ever.

The smartphone is changing, but that’s a good thing. We’re experiencing an information revolution, and the battleground is in the palm of our hands.

Long story short: that’s why the new iPhone kind of looks like an Android phone.

Natural products more beneficial for overall health #REALTALK SARA ZAYED

I

have gradually switched over from over-the-counter, store-bought products to natural products when it comes to beauty and healing. I used to think only processed goods could be efficient enough to do the job, from clearing sinuses to making skin glow. It was only when I extensively examined the chemicals in the products I was using that I was surprised at the toxins I was putting into my body. Consider lotions. The skin is the largest organ of the body, and whatever we put on it can be absorbed into the bloodstream. This is discomforting, considering we know it wouldn’t be safe to eat the lotions we use.

Besides the fact that natural products such as coconut oil, baking soda and honey are completely safe, you can be sure they haven’t been tested on animals, you can buy them in bulk, and they keep for a long time. Best of all, they’re marginally cheaper and versatile. Finally, they’re good for the environment. It’s a win-win from all angles, and your only job is to ex-

periment with the wide array of options out there.

There are plenty of examples, if you’re not convinced. Let’s start with coconut oil, which, in my opinion, is a miracle product. Researchers in the Athlone Institute of Technology examined the effects of coconut oil on bacteria in the mouth. They found that not only could the oil remove the majority of the harm-

of saturated fat was unfairly demonized in the past, but in recent years, research has revealed that coconut oil has a unique composition of fatty acids, the most abundant of which is lauric acid, which can kill microbes like bacteria, fungi and viruses. It’s incredible that just one product can be applied topically and ingested with impressive results no matter the usage.

“Besides the fact that natural products such as coconut oil, baking soda and honey are completely safe, you can be sure they haven’t been tested on animals, you can buy them in bulk, and they keep for a long time. Best of all, they’re marginally cheaper and versatile.” ful strains, but it could also eliminate “candida albicans,” which grows due to intake of processed food and sugar (and causes cavities). You can also apply coconut oil as a lotion, which I have personally found more effective than some “organic” lotions on the market. It works great as a deep conditioning treatment for hair — it locks in moisture and leaves a pleasant smell. Finally, tr y using coconut oil as a substitute for vegetable oil when cooking. Its high concentration

Another great alternative is castor oil, which has anti-inflammator y and anti-oxidant properties. It can be used to remedy a myriad of skin problems, like dr y skin, sunburns and acne, and stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, which is why it is often present in wrinkle creams. It can also relieve pain from arthritis, making it an excellent massage oil for afflicted patients.

The use of honey in traditional medicine is also well documented. It possess-

es antiseptic and antibacterial properties, and it has many useful applications.

This is another product that can be both ingested and applied topically to great results. Because it is acidic, it prevents the growth of bacteria (by fighting infections), and its anti-oxidant constituents effectively remove free radicals. A review published in the Cochrane Librar y suggested honey can heal burns, and the experiences of many people corroborate this. Finally, honey can be incorporated into a hydrating, replenishing facemask.

Consider the fact that the main ingredients of many products are things you could just buy separately, for much cheaper, with better results and without worr ying about side effects. Subtle changes like this are useful because they simplify purchases and help alleviate plenty of costs that can be shaved down substantially. It’s vastly beneficial to do your own research about the things you put in and on your body. It’ll empower you to make informed selections and most importantly, make you a healthier person.

Sexual harassment at U. must be immediate priority NOTHING, IF NOT CRITICAL PHILIP WYTHE

L

ast week, the anti-sexual harassment organization Hollaback! released a 4-minute video exposing stalking and cat calling on the streets of New York City. The video went viral across the Internet, gaining more than 30 million views and counting.

At Rutgers alone, undergraduate women have been sharing the video throughout the week with their friends, family and co-workers. Indeed, from Facebook to tumblr, these women have been noting something important: Cat calling is not unique to New York City, but happens quite frequently at Rutgers and in New Brunswick.

According to the anti-street harassment advocacy group Stop Street Harassment, approximately 65 percent of all women have experienced some form of street harassment in their lifetime. The study found that 23 percent had “been sexually touched,” 20 percent “had been followed,” and 9 percent “had been forced to do something sexual” or sexually assaulted on the street. Twenty-five percent of all men also experienced some form of street harassment in their lives, and the report notes “a higher percentage of LGBT-identified men than heterosexual men reported [street harassment].” Not only is sexual harass-

“

ment a serious concern, but it’s an epidemic issue: Over one-half of all women have experienced sexual harassment, and onefourth of all men can also attest to being sexually harassed in their lives.

Statistically speaking, this is a particularly large number among the Rutgers student body. On the University’s official Facts & Figures page, Rutgers notes that the University hosts 32,280 undergraduate students, and that 49 percent of all undergraduates are women. This leaves us with approximately 15,817 women undergraduate students at Rutgers. If we then take Stop Street Harassment’s study and compare their percentages with our undergraduate statistics, we find:

alize the sheer invasiveness of sexual harassment at Rutgers. Understanding sexual harassment is not just simply about statistics and numbers — it’s about the stories and experiences of our University’s students. We cannot discuss sexual harassment without discussing the embodied, lived experiences of Rutgers’ women.

While I was preparing for Halloween last week, I stumbled across a Facebook post made by my good friend and co-editor at TRIM Magazine, Hannah Gerber. Gerber has repeatedly experienced sexual harassment in New Brunswick, and she decided to speak out about it on her timeline.

Here’s her post, verbatim:

“When we ignore misogynistic harassment, we are critically failing those thousands of women. We are leaving men and women like Gerber vulnerable to sexual harassment, and we are helping to perpetuate this problem when we ignore it.”

•

3,637 female undergraduates have been sexually touched • 3,163 female undergraduates have been stalked • 1,423 have been sexually assaulted on our streets • 20,982 undergraduate women have been street harassed in their lifetime For a frame of reference, that’s a little more than half the maximum attendance number at High Point Solutions Stadium.

But even then, statistics rarely person-

“After being catcalled for the THIRD TIME in BROAD DAYLIGHT walking DOWN MY OWN STREET, I looked the guy dead in the eyes that whistled at me and said “Seriously?!” to which he got embarrassed, tried to look at his friend and pretend it wasn’t him that did it. When I kept giving him the death-glare, he looked at me and shrugged as if to say, ‘What do you want me to do?’ Not that the level of respect I’m given should be dependent on the time of day, what I’m wearing, or how

QUOTE OF THE DAY We’ve already had four to five people try out without knowing what cricket was about.

I’m presenting myself, but I’m wearing jeans and a f---ing tshirt, dude. Grow up and f--- off.”

“To clarify, this was the third time TODAY,” she continues. “It’s happened to me on our street before.”

Gerber notes how this is the third time on her own street, merely a block or two from Douglass campus, in which a man has sexually harassed her. Hannah was objectified and harassed three times within 12 hours. Certainly, this is not the first time Hannah has experienced harassment at Rutgers. Yet one time is more than enough for any Rutgers woman to experience.

Whether on or off campus, Hannah is still at risk of being harassed by strangers — some of which provide basic utility needs for her own house, on her own doorstep.

At Rutgers, Hannah is certainly not alone. More than 20,000 women have been in similar situations at least once.

When we ignore misogynistic harassment, we are critically failing those thousands of women. We are leaving men and women like Gerber vulnerable to sexual harassment, and we are helping to perpetuate this problem when we ignore it.

We need to end this kind of sexual harassment now. Not just for our current students, but for our future students. Otherwise, Rutgers can never call itself a safe college in good faith.

Pearls Before Swine

November 4, 2014 Stephan Pastis

Today’s Birthday (11/04/14). Personal power and confidence come with high-octane results this year. Your influence grows with your professional stature. Work gets especially fun after 3/20, with creativity and romantic diversions. After 4/4, peace and quiet take on new importance. Meditation, spiritual inquiry and planning take priority. Tune your actions to your heart’s pitch for satisfaction and happiness. To get the advantage, check the day’s rating: 10 is the easiest day, 0 the most challenging.

Aries ( March 21-April 19) — Today is a 9 — You’re in charge. Don’t be afraid. Be obsessed with details.

Review an intended action to avoid unpleasant surprises. Your list of things to do grows. Clean as you go.

Postpone a shopping trip. Listen to your heart.

Taurus ( April 20-May 20) — Today is a 6 — A surprising development in a group setting inspires action. Stifle your aggression (or channel it into art or music). A distant power figure enters the game.

The pressure on you eases soon.

Keep a low, inexpensive profile.

Gemini ( May 21-June 20) — Today is a 7 — Breakdowns keep your focus on immediate necessities. Hold your temper. Start with a plan. Keep cool, even if someone does crazy things.

Keep costs down. Compromise and tact are required. Encourage creative thinking and find the comedy.

Cancer ( June 21-July 22) — Today is a 7 — Things could get chaotic and expensive. Cut entertainment spending. Don’t fall for a sob story. Heed cautionary warnings. Don’t try a new method yet. A fascinating discovery arises from a brilliant suggestion or idea. Practice leads to perfection.

Leo ( July 23-Aug. 22) — Today is an 8 — Get your homework done before going to play. An unexpected windfall comes from handling details early. Shipping and travels discover delays or deviations... stick close to home and handle fundamental priorities. Clean something. Make choices and declare them.

Virgo ( Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Today is a 7 — Postpone travel. Breakdowns require attention. Actions could seem to backfire. Take it slow.

Let circumstances dictate the time.

Don’t jump the gun. Listen to your heart. Make requests, and someone else solves the problem. Communicate with your team.

Libra ( Sept. 23-Oct. 22) — Today is an 8 — Be prepared to apply some elbow grease, and accept a profitable challenge. If at first you don’t succeed, back to the drawing board.

It could get explosive. Patience and persistence reach to breakthrough.

Collaborate. Take detailed notes.

Scorpio ( Oct. 23-Nov. 21) — Today is a 7 — Things may not follow the plan. Aim for thoughtful rather than impulsive choices. Accidents or mistakes could get costly... slow down and review options. Delegate what you can, and recharge batteries. Allow extra time for distant matters.

Sagittarius ( Nov. 22-Dec. 21) — Today is a 7 — Have fun close to home. Work interferes with travel. All is not as you’d like. It’s not a good time to gamble. Keep everybody honest with open transparency as a policy. Remember that it’s just a game.

Capricorn ( Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Today is a 6 — Finish your work, and postpone a trip. Revelations could alter the destination. Barriers or obstacles at home slow the action.

Take it easy. Think it over. Make your choices, and let others decide for themselves. Get organized.

Aquarius ( Jan. 20-Feb. 18) — Today is a 7 — Words get farther than actions. Make bold declarations.

There’s still work to do. Remain cautious with your money. Pad your schedule to leave time for the unexpected. Don’t travel yet. Find peace on a walk in nature.

Pisces ( Feb. 19-March 20) — Today is a 9 — Respectfully navigate the chaos. Unexpected breakdowns at work require attention. Handle immediate concerns, and put the rest on hold. Don’t throw good money after bad. Merge a financial opportunity into vacation plans.

Work out a consensus. Choose your direction.

CAREER Bruccoleri is one of three players still on Rutgers’ roster from its 2011 recruit class CONTINUED FROM BACK 51 games and appearing in all but two of them.

It’s a commitment for which Donigan said he’s indebted to him.

“He’s kind of been a cornerstone in the middle of the field for us for the last four years,” Donigan said. “Certainly from my standpoint, I wish we could have brought him a little more success than we have. … We had a core of guys that were here his freshman year when we made that Sweet 16, and then we lost that core. … It’s been a building process since that. … He was one of the first pieces.

So he was going to have to endure tougher times than good times, unfortunately, but he knew that coming in, so he’s just an incredibly loyal kid.”

He is also one of only three players remaining from Donigan’s original 17-member recruiting class, with redshirt juniors J.P. Correa and Thomas O’Rourke also still on the squad.

It’s been something Bruccoleri has had to adjust to.

“Yes, definitely,” he said when asked if it was strange to see a majority of class leave through the years. “I mean, when I came in, all the seniors said there wouldn’t be that many guys at the end because that’s how it is with transfers —

quitting and what not. So, I think it’s a good accomplishment to play for four years.”

Bruccoleri’s commitment to the Knights has earned him praise from his coaches and influenced his teammates.

As the only true senior on the team, his leadership in the locker room has been one of his strongest qualities.

“He’s one of my best friends,” said sophomore midfielder Erik Sa. “A really good guy, always a hard worker, and we’re really going to miss him.”

Although the season has been far from what Bruccoleri and the team had hoped for, a win in his final game at Yurcak Field would be a memorable consolation.

Given that game is against defending national runner-up Maryland and is a chance to spoil the Terrapins’ hopes of a Big Ten regular-season title, a win could give the 2011 Sweet 16 appearance a run for its money as Bruccoleri’s favorite accomplishment.

“I would love that,” Bruccoleri said of ending on a win. “There’s nothing better than that, especially beating a team like Maryland.”

Senior forward Stef Scholz opened up the scoring against Ohio State with a game-winner in the 20th minute after a three-game scoreless streak. SEAN MADDEN

OFFENSE Scholz, Tiernan each scored in Rutgers’ 2-0 win Friday against Ohio State CONTINUED FROM BACK teammate embodies as an aspect she attempts to duplicate.

“Watching her actually helps me gain confidence,” Scholz said. “She’s a tough player, really aggressive, so I tr y to be aggressive. She will literally give up her body to score a goal, so I tr y to add that to my game, and when the time comes, [I’ll] lay out my body for her, for the good of the team.”

While Scholz admires the mental and physical toughness of her running mate in the midfield, Tiernan listed Scholz as an inspiration for her drive to improve her game in aspects such as speed and preparation.

“She’s so good at beating down players. She’s so fast, and I kind of just watch. Her movements are so good,” Tiernan said. “Just playing with someone who’s [been] here longer, someone who’s experienced it … it’s just like kind of a relief to play with someone who’s older and have such a good relationship of f the field.

I’ve learned so much from just watching her play. She’s such a good player.”

Head coach Mike O’Neill’s vision for when he took over

the program was for his entire team to feed of f each other and work together to bring out their best through functional, strong chemistr y.

When the first-year coach looks at Scholz and Tiernan, he sees a prime example in what he set out to do: turn individuals into one stronger unit.

“They spend so much time together, so there’s no doubt about it. The experience of Stef is going to leave the impression on Madison and other younger players, and that’s what you’re really tr ying to do,” O’Neill

“Everyone’s record from here on out means nothing. It’s one game at a time, so I think we’re all confident going in.”

MADISON TIERNAN Sophomore Midfielder

said. “So I think that thought process of them playing together and making each other better is they’ve definitely benefited from that. … It’s not just the players to coaches. It’s the coaches to players and players to players.”

In their most recent game, Scholz and Tiernan united to revive a Rutgers of fense that had gone scoreless since its 2-1 win against Illinois dating back to Oct. 17. Scholz got things

going with a goal in the 20th minute, which Tiernan said took the pressure of f her and allowed her to play loosely.

Evidently, that worked. Tiernan netted her first goal since her game-winner at then-No. 7 Penn State, and with the team finishing on a high note after last Friday’s 2-0 bounce back at Ohio State, she believes the Knights are back on track.

But two of the determining factors for how far Rutgers extends its season are Scholz and Tiernan. Out of the 26 total goals the Knights have scored on the year, 12 of them have come of f the foot of either the senior for ward or the sophomore midfielder.

As the road winds down and Rutgers breaks down each game one by one with the understanding that each may be its last, Tiernan said the two will continue to improve of f each other as well as the rest of their teammates in order to spark a memorable postseason run.

“Our chemistr y of f the field is what helps us play so well on the field,” Tiernan said. “…

Now, ever ybody is on the same page. It doesn’t matter who you are. Ever yone’s record from here on out means nothing. It’s one game at a time, so I think we’re all confident going in and I’m excited for it to star t.”

Knights use inaugural conference tourney as motivation MIKE O’SULLIVAN STAFF WRITER

It was a challenging for the Rutgers cross country teams competing in their first Big Ten Championships on Sunday, but it proved to be a good learning experience for the program.

The women’s team was racing against many nationally ranked teams from the conference, and top-ranked Michigan State asserted its dominance by winning the meet.

The Scarlet Knights finished 12th overall as a team, placing ahead of Nebraska and Mar yland.

Junior Paige Senatore had the best time for the Knights, placing 47th overall with a time of 21:18.4 in the windy conditions at Iowa City.

The next three finishers for the Knights all placed within a few

spots of each other. Senior Brianna Deming finished in 76th place with a time of 21:52.5 and was immediately followed by freshman Megan Coakley, who took 77th overall with a time of 21:52.8. Senior Allison Payenski finished a couple spots back in 79th place with 22:00.3.

Another top-100 finisher for the Knights was freshman Alexandra Juzwiak, who placed 82nd overall in a time of 22:03.5.

Head coach James Robinson was pleased with his team’s performance in its Big Ten debut and impressed with how it ran as a unit.

“The team did great,” he said.

“The goal was to go out and run the fastest time of the year [as a team] and to run tightly as a pack, and we did that.”

A main goal for the team was to close the gap a bit more between its top runners, and it showed in

the race. The Knights had their best one-through-five split of the season, as only 45.1 seconds separated their first five runners.

Robinson was happy to see his team gain some more valuable lessons in facing such a high level

“I thought our guys ran really hard. Several of them ran personal bests, so their effort was there. It is a very tough league.”

MIKE MULQUEEN Head Coach

of competition presented by the Big Ten “It was absolutely a good experience for us,” he said. “The depth of the conference is tre-

mendous, and being able to get out there and be competitive with those teams can only help us get better ourselves.”

In her first year of competitive action for the Knights, Coakley was excited to be able to compete in the school’s first Big Ten race.

“I was so excited to be there,” she said. “There was so much going on and there were so many big teams. … There were so many cameras out, and it was very official.”

On the men’s side, Rutgers also finished in 12th overall in its inaugural Big Ten Championships.

Despite the overall team placement, many of the Knights ran personal bests and continued to see their times drop, which has been the recurring goal of the season.

Freshman Luke Wiley led the way for the Knights, finishing in

87th place with a time of 25:41.5.

Junior Jaimin Vekaria was the next finisher for the team, placing 91st overall in 25:55.7.

Freshman Alexander Livernois came in 96th place with a time of 26:17.2. Sophomore Sam Habib and freshman Trent Brinkfoski finished back-toback for 100th and 101st places, with times of 26:54.2 and 26:58.3, respectively.

Also battling windy conditions on a cold day, head coach Mike Mulqueen was proud of the way his team ran against elite competition.

“I thought our guys ran really hard,” he said. “Several of them ran personal bests, so their effort was there. It is a ver y tough league.”

FIELD HOCKEY YANEY HAS KEPT STARTING ROLE AFTER MISSING PRESEASON, PARTS OF REGULAR SEASON

Sophomore rebounds from toe injury to lead RU to playoffs RYAN MORAN STAFF WRITER

After starting every game her freshman season, the Rutgers field hockey team’s current starting forward Rachel Yaney came in to her sophomore season looking to hit the ground running and have an immediate impact in the Big Ten. As a freshman, Yaney was able to accumulate five goals and 10 points.

But the Scarlet Knights were dealt a blow when it was confirmed Yaney suffered a broken big toe in training, forcing her to recover from injur y to start the year.

It set Yaney back, but she was able to fight back and play in the Knights’ third game of the season and start by the 10th game.

She has kept the starting job ever since.

“I never thought that a broken big toe would be such an obsta-

cle,” Yaney said. “But once I was healthy, I had to work extra hard to get back out there.”

Like anyone who misses any time, when they return, they are typically somewhat out of sync with their team. That is what happened for Yaney and the forwards group this season.

“We weren’t on the same page in the beginning and we were playing as individuals, but as the season went on, we started to pick it up and communicate more,” Yaney said. “We began to fight for one another.”

Yaney came to Rutgers because she had already known head coach Meredith Long from the U.S. Futures Development program and felt she integrated well with the girls.

“The other schools weren’t the same,” Yaney said. “Our team bond is amazing, and we really connect together on and off the field.”

For a freshman, it is usually difficult to see the field that much in their first season, which is why Yaney was very surprised she played as much as she did. But she knew she could perform given the opportunity.

“Rachel is a leader through example and her play. When she has something to say, it is profound and impactful.”

MEREDITH LONG Head Coach

“I think she earned her minutes and her opportunities last season,” Long said. “She is a real creative player and someone that knows what she’s going to go out there and do. She is just a natural

attacker and does a lot of things you can’t necessarily teach.”

The experience really gave Yaney confidence and better prepared her for this season. It is something sophomore midfielder Alyssa Bull has noticed on and off the field.

“On the field, she is such a deceptive player and really unpredictable to prepare for if you are on the other team,” Bull said.

“Off the field, she has had such a big impact, especially when she fought to overcome the injury.”

When she is on the field, Yaney feels she can be the most electric player out there.

“When I get this fire, I am unstoppable,” Yaney said. “Once I am in the zone, you can’t stop me.”

Long described her as a player that performs well under pressure and is able to pull out all the stops when she is on the field. She credits this to the experience she has gained.

“She has been playing with more confidence, awareness and composure,” Long said.

“She is one of our most experienced for wards on the field as just a sophomore.”

With two years of eligibility left, Yaney hopes to take advantage of the experience she has gained in order to help out teammates that are younger than her or struggle for playing time.

She wants to use her leadership next year and show she will be there for them whenever they need it.

“Rachel is a leader through example and her play,” Long said.

“When she has something to say, it is pretty profound and impactful. Her teammates kind of look to her for inspiration.”

November 4, 2014 VOLLEYBALL KNIGHTS IMPROVE TO .186 HITTING PERCENTAGE, 223 KILLS IN PAST FIVE CONTESTS

Offense shows improvement at midpoint of conference play CONOR NORDLAND STAFF WRITER

As the Rutgers volleyball team pushes deeper into its first season in the Big Ten, it is looking for any signs of improvement in what has otherwise been a disappointing beginning in its new conference.

The Scarlet Knights (7-18, 0-12) are mired in a 12-game losing streak that has not given them much to be happy about.

But one area where the Knights have shown clear improvement is offense.

In their first five games in the Big Ten, the Knights struggled to find any consistency on the offensive side of the ball.

They posted a negative .028 hitting percentage and only 21 kills in their conference opener against Northwestern, and averaged a .083 hitting percentage and only 124 total kills over the five-game span. In the 15 total sets the Knights played against their first five opponents, they reached the 20-point mark in only four of those sets.

It was an underwhelming way to start in their new conference, but the Knights have rebounded from their rough beginning.

Over its past five contests, Rutgers has registered a .186 average hitting percentage, along with 223 total kills.

The Knights stretched their two contests against Maryland to five sets and picked up a set win

Head coach CJ Werneke said the Knights have improved steadily with each week because of the talent of the opponents that they are facing. Werneke credits better decision-making and better passing to improved offense. SHAWN SMITH against Iowa last weekend.

With steady improvement on the court, head coach C.J. Werneke has taken notice to how his team has responded from the slow start.

“If you look at our first three weeks in the Big Ten, we hit under .100, and now we’re in the .170 range over there next few weeks,” Werneke said. “I just think we’re playing really good teams night in and night out, and our errors have decreased over the past three weeks compared to the first three.”

There has been noticeable improvement from most members of the team, which has contributed to the more competitive product the Knights are putting on the court currently.

The continued attention to detail, along with focusing on their own side of the net, have been the main reasons for the development of the offense.

“It’s been better decision-making from our attackers, better execution from our setters, and better passing overall,”

Werneke said. “The combination of those three things gets us to a higher hitting percentage, which leads to more kills, more competitive matches.”

Werneke has stated in the past that this season is not about wins and losses, but rather the overall growth and improvement of the team and program.

Although it is hard to ignore the mounting losses, Werneke and his coaching staff are following the plan that was created long before the season started.

“We have broken down the Big Ten season into three different evaluation processes,” Werneke said. “The first three weeks everything was new and fresh, the next three weeks is when we settle into conference play, and the last section is how we finish. We are moving into that third section now, so we will see what happens from here.”

WOMEN’S SOCCER SCHOLZ, TIERNAN HAVE SCORED 12 OF RUTGERS’ 26 GOALS THIS SEASON

Complementary scorers evolve RU offense GARRETT STEPIEN CORRESPONDENT

When Madison Tiernan entered the Rutgers women’s soccer program last fall for her freshman campaign, she made a lasting first impression. Her game-winning goal lifting the Scarlet Knights to a 1-0 triumph over Drexel in the season opener at Yurcak Field was a sign of positive things to come.

In her young career thus far in Piscataway, Tiernan has blossomed as a main catalyst in Rutgers’ offense. At the end of her freshman year, she finished third on the team in points with 17 after racking up six goals and five assists.

Since the beginning of her second season as a starting midfielder, there has been no sophomore slump. At the end of the regular season, she is tied for first on the team in goals and points.

The other player that shares the lead for those two categories: senior for ward Stef Scholz.

Despite the respective differences in each other’s offensive attacks, the two have relied on each other to maximize their offensive game.

“Madison’s a great player. She’s ver y mature for age, and through her two years, she’s already had a significant impact,” Scholz said. “I just go into ever y game looking to do my best. … I learned a lot from Madison, too, while playing with her, so we work really well together.”

Even with Tiernan as the underclassman still wading her way through the Division I women’s soccer grounds, Scholz pointed to the mental approach and attitude her SEE OFFENSE ON PAGE 13

MEN’S SOCCER BRUCCOLERI WAS DONIGAN’S FIRST-EVER RUTGERS RECRUIT

Sweet 16 season highlights senior’s career SEAN STEWART ASSOCIATE SPORTS EDITOR

Senior midfielder Nate Bruccoleri has started 65 of the Knights’ 72 games during his four-year career, which includes a career-high two goals during his freshman season.

EDWIN GANO / STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER

Entering his final home game for the Rutgers men’s soccer team Wednesday night at Yurcak Field, senior midfielder Nate Bruccoleri still has one memory that trumps the rest.

“It’s probably the Sweet 16,” he said smiling. “You can’t get better than that. The way our team came together that year and just did well in the Big East Tournament … and Sweet 16, that’s awesome.”

As a member of head coach Dan Donigan’s first-ever Rutgers recruiting class in 2011, Bruccoleri was the first to commit to Donigan’s vision of bringing the Scarlet Knights back to national prominence.

It was a tough sell given Rutgers’ record the season before — the Knights were 4-11-1 in Donigan’s first year.

His commitment was rewarded, though, when Rutgers surprisingly advanced to the

Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament during Bruccoleri’s freshman season. It was Rutgers’ first appearance in the NCAA Tournament since 2006 and first time advancing to the Sweet 16 since 2001.

The Bordentown, New Jersey, native played a prominent role that year, starting 18 of the team’s 21 games while scoring two goals with one assist for a career-high five points in a season.

After a successful freshman campaign and an impressive incoming recruiting class, it seemed like the Knights were on their way back to the top of the college soccer pedestal.

But things have not quite worked out for Rutgers since its historic run, with the team experiencing more hardships than triumphs the next three seasons.

Through it all, Bruccoleri has been a mainstay in the Knights’ midfield, starting in 47 of SEE CAREER ON PAGE 13
