Newark professor dies, leaves behind legend SABRINA SZTEINBAUM ASSOCIATE NEWS EDITOR

Clement Alexander Price was a leader in every sense of the word.

Price, a Board of Governors distinguished service professor in the Department of History at Rutgers-Newark who also earned his Ph.D. at Rutgers, suffered from a stroke on Nov. 2, according to a press release from Carla Capizzi, assistant director of communications at the Rutgers-Newark Office of

Communications. He passed away on Nov. 5.

Aside from teaching at the University, Price, a Washington, D.C., native, immersed himself in the Newark community as the Newark City Historian and the chairman of the 350th anniversary of Newark’s founding in 1666, according to the press release.

He taught courses on a range of historical subjects, including SEE PROFESSOR ON PAGE 4

If you’re stuck at the bottom of a well, do you want somebody who can relate to you, or do you want a motherf---er with a rope who can pull you out of Forever 21 debt?

That was Clark Jones’ response when friends told him he should date

someone who understood his struggles as a black man.

Jones, a comedian at the Laugh Factor y Comedy Network, opened yesterday’s comedy evening for Hannibal Buress at the Busch Student Center.

Glancing around Multipurpose Room A, Buress suspected this was where Ghostbusters made their plans.

“This room is just a soulless piece of garbage, this wannabe woodshed,” he said, noting the hospital-esque lighting. “Nobody’s ever played that piano.”

He explained why he always starts his show wearing glasses.

Ex-NFL player awards NJ Medical School alumnus DAN COREY CONTRIBUTING WRITER

A severe surgery that removed Dr. Herman Morchel’s large intestine inspired him to change careers and go to medical school.

Now, he is receiving recognition from a former NFL player who inspired him through his recovery.

Former San Diego Chargers Placekicker Rolf Benirschke plans to award Morchel, a certified emergency room physician at Hackensack University Medical Center, the Great Comebacks Award on Nov. 8 for his contributions to the “ostomate” community, Benirschke said in an email.

Morchel, an alumnus of the New Jersey Medical School and board-certified physician of emergency medicine, endured a long string of medical illnesses as well as several stays in hospitals as an intensive care patient.

Starting in 1984, when he was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis, Morchel under went an ileostomy procedure in which his large intestine was removed. From then on, he needed to dispose of his body waste by means of an external ostomy pouch.

While adjusting to his new lifestyle was difficult at first, he was able to keep hope by writing to Benirschke, who was the star placekicker for the Chargers at the time.

Benirschke also endured the ileostomy procedure in 1979 and returned to the National Football League with the pouch, managing to become the third most accurate field goal kicker at the time, according to the Great Comebacks’ website.

Department celebrates 100th year at U. WEINI ZHANG CONTRIBUTING WRITER

The United States government intervened in New Jersey’s agricultural market more than seven decades ago, cutting revenues and increasing costs for the state’s tomato industry.

In response to the federal government’s intrusion, Rutgers’ Department of Agricultural, Food and Resource Economics went to Washington, D.C., to get the government to backtrack.

Yesterday evening, DAFRE held a reception and panel discussion to

celebrate its 100th anniversary at the Cook Student Center.

The department was founded in 1914 as the farm management division in the Department of Agronomy. Agricultural lab research prior to 1914 took place in New Jersey Hall on the College Avenue campus, said Paul Gottlieb, DAFRE chair.

The department has seen increasing importance after its establishment in 1914, he said. “[At that time] we were specialized in farm management, especial-

ly on data and calculations helping farmers figure out what their costs are,” Gottlieb said. “In the 1920s, when the government put income taxes on companies, these calculations took on a more important role.”

Gottlieb said DAFRE experienced three name changes. Previous names included the “Department of Agriculture Economics,” adopted in 1924, and the “Department of Agriculture Economics and Marketing,” adopted in 1965.

Yeshiva professor details bioethical implications of disasters DAN COREY CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Most people view the infamous nuclear disasters of Chernobyl in Ukraine and Bhopal in India, Hurricanes Katrina and Sandy and the recent earthquakes in China and Haiti as catastrophic. Ruth Macklin, however, has found an ethical angle to these historic events.

Macklin, a Yeshiva University professor, discussed the bioethical repercussions of man-made and natural disasters yesterday afternoon at the Institute for Health, Health Care Policy and Aging Research in downtown New Brunswick.

Macklin, a founder of the study of bioethics and professor at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine at Yeshiva, took the train from New York City to downtown New Brunswick to give the latest installment of the Institute’s Brown Bag Seminar Series.

In her lecture titled, “Ethical Challenges in Confronting Disasters: Some Lessons Learned,” Macklin presented extensive analyses of public health, clinical and research ethics and their application, or lack thereof, in both natural and man-made disasters.

“Issues arise when there is a disaster, whether it is a disaster that is man-made, like a nuclear plant explosion or a gas leak, or something like a hurricane or an earthquake,” Macklin said.

Additional issues include the ethical nature of conducting research during a disaster and whether public health agencies have special responsibilities during this time, she said.

By using a comparative analysis to present the disaster categories, Macklin’s lecture encompassed an ethical discussion of prioritization, particularly that of scarce resources such as hospital ventilators.

Moreover, the professor talked about preparation and how critical knowing the degree of severity of a disaster far in advance is.

“From the standpoint of preparedness, this is obviously a responsibility of government,” she said. “The responsibility, depending on what the nature of the disaster might be, is to have adequate preparation.”

Supplementing this assertion, Macklin added that the need to be prepared forces room to be made for imperative measures, which include having engineers design buildings that are less likely to collapse in earthquake-prone areas.

This, in extension, allowed for proper preparation for future disasters, suggesting that the Tri-State area was better equipped for Hurricane Sandy following Hurricane Katrina in 2005.

Along with other faculty members, distinguished Rutgers professor in the Department of History, Margaret Marsh, felt Macklin’s seminar is beneficial to the Institute. It presents new information that could be used as an interdisciplinary supplement to new projects.

Currently, she is working on her third book with physician Wanda Ronner, and her future publication on reproductive technologies will be influenced by Macklin’s talk because her topic does have a significant bioethical component, Marsh said.

“One of the great things about coming to these seminars is that you get these people from different disciplines who talk about the way they approach a subject,” Marsh said.

She added that though the seminar topic may not be related to your field of study, it is still beneficial to learn about different approaches and methods because you could use them within your own subject.

Macklin said while she “wasn’t trying to convince anyone” in the conference room at the Institute, she was hoping this type of interdisciplinary communication would occur. Hailing from the non-integrated Einstein College of Medi-

Ruth Macklin, a Yeshiva University professor, presents “Ethical Challenges in Confronting Disasters: Some Lessons Learned” yesterday at the Institute for Health, Health Care Policy and Aging Research. DAPHNE ALVA / STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER cine, she would often miss opportunities for cross-field research, Macklin said.

The timing of Macklin’s visit to the Institute was convenient, as the process of integrating the Robert Wood Johnson Medical School with the rest of the University is occurring at this time.

According to Allan Horwitz, interim director of the Institute, Macklin’s presentation on bioethics might help facilitate the assimilation of RWJMS. “Bioethics is one of the core subject matters that really unites the kinds of things that go on in the University and [RWJMS],” Hor witz said.

He added that Macklin’s partici-

pation would aid their efforts in developing a program in bioethics at Rutgers.

Horwitz also emphasized the tendency of most academics to use selective attention while examining their subject, as well as the need to give greater consideration to ethical practice in public policy. He alluded to Macklin’s analysis of Hurricane Sandy, and its relevance to the state of New Jersey.

“We [academicians] tend to simply focus on the particular science or facts of whatever topic we’re looking at and neglect the ethical dimensions of those situations,” Horwitz said. “Certainly, the topic of her talk has great promise, especially as anybody who has been

down at the Jersey Shore recently can see.”

While Macklin was entirely unaware of this integration process, she views it as beneficial not only for the Rutgers community, but for all academia.

As one of the founders of the field of bioethics, Macklin is glad to be a part of this convergence and encouraged furthering the partnership among academics.

“I think multidisciplinary work and integration is critically important,” Macklin said. “When you have a medical school that is isolated from the rest of the university, there is less of an opportunity to interact and develop collaborative research projects.”

DEPARTMENT DAFRE changed names three times to keep up with research in 1924, 1965 CONTINUED FROM FRONT

Gottlieb said the main implications of the names were that they added their areas of research to keep up with the times.

“Rutgers, as a state University, has the responsibility of agriculture study and research for the community,” he said.

The department also adjusted its role and areas of study in accordance with changes in market, society and academia, he said.

As the food processing industry became increasingly important over the course of 20th century, researches in the department began focusing on the manufacturing aspects besides farming, he said.

“That’s why we added [the word] ‘food’ in the title to agriculture,” he said.

Rutgers also kept itself up with the emergence of environmental economics in the 1970s by adding it to the undergraduate curriculum, he said and later incorporating it into the department name in the 1990s.

The names manifest how the department develops over time, he said. “[We are developing ourselves] along the supply chain, from farm gate to plate,” he said.

The department is concerned with the social science aspect of agriculture and food production and addresses related economics issues.

While plant scientists help farmers figure out what plants best suited the soil, DAFRE helps them figure out questions such as which crop is more profitable and how to lower their cost, Gottlieb said.

The department has pioneered agriculture economics from the beginning of its establishment.

“In the early years, we collected [our] first data when nobody had done it anywhere,” Gottlieb said.

“In an age without computer, we had farmers fill out surveys about their production practices, commodity choices and output, and provided them necessary information about the market.”

DAFRE also pioneered the practices locally, setting an example for Washington, D.C., to take up and do nationally, he said.

The department not only advised local farmers on their production, but also the state of New Jersey and the United State government on agriculture policies.

One of the panelists, Richard Sexton, professor and chair of the Department of Agriculture and Resource Economics at the University of California-Davis, spoke about the “renaissance” of agriculture economics and the challenges the discipline faces.

“Challenges that agricultural economics address are complex,” Sexton said. “They include diminishing farm land because

of urban development, climate change, steady growth of population and [the] food crisis in the developing world.”

He also said new agricultural economics uses more sophisticated models of the market, analyzes a wide range of government policies, regulations and programs and utilizes more enhanced econometrics and computing resources in analysis.

Gottlieb said the goal of the department is to address agriculture, food and resources issues with an integrated program of teaching, research and outreach.

DAFRE gets a stream of funding from federal, state and local government to help the state farmers and deal with agricultural and resource problems such as water resources and pest control, he said.

“We also have projects in urban areas because of our focus on the food manufacturing industry,” Gottlieb said. “We are funded not only to teach and research, but there is also a responsibility to citizens in the area.”

John Schmitt, a Rutgers alumnus who earned his bachelor’s of science in 1966 and a master’s of science in 1971 in agricultural economics, talked about his experience.

“I worked in the pharmaceutical business all my career, although it didn’t have that much to do with agricultural economics,” he said.

But he now considers it a “wonderful major” because of the tremendous background knowledge needed in analyzing problems, such as biology and chemistry, because it applies to business in general, and also helped him in his career.

the “Development of the United States,” “Intellectual Histor y of Afro-America,” “Topics in the Histor y of Newark” and “Paul Robeson and 20th Centur y Black Modernism.”

Price was the founding director of the Rutgers Institute on Ethnicity, Culture and the Modern Experience, an academic center that presents lectures, film screenings, exhibitions and other programs that “foster broad public discussion on the arts and culture, urban life and development, diversity and race relations, education, and history at the local, national and transnational levels,” according to the press release.

He also co-founded the annual Marion Thompson Wright Lecture Series, New Jersey’s largest and most prestigious Black History Month event.

To ensure the future of the MTW Lecture Series, he gifted $100,000 to Rutgers-Newark in 2010 for the establishment of the “Clement A. Price Endowment for the Humanities.”

In 2008, Price chaired President Obama’s transition team for the National Endowment for the Humanities, according to the press release. He served as vice chair of the President’s Advisory Council on Historic Preservation.

The historian, teacher, husband and public intellectual has held leadership roles in the New Jersey State Council on the Arts, the Fund for New Jersey, the Save Ellis Island Foundation, the Geraldine R. Dodge Foundation, the Newark Education Trust, the Save Ellis Island Foundation, the advisor y council for the Gilder Lehrman Institute of American Histor y and the Scholarly Advisor y Committee to the National Museum of African American Histor y and Culture, Smithsonian Institution.

Price was the chief historical consultant for the Jewish Museum’s 1992 exhibition, “Bridges and Boundaries: African Americans and American Jews” and for the 1998 award-winning documentary film, “Chanceman’s Brothers & Sisters: The Origins of the 20th Century Morris County Black Community.”

Price’s extensive career earned him many awards and titles, including New Jersey Professor of the Year in 1999 and 2006 and the 2011 New Jersey Nets Basketball Black History Month award, according to the press release.

Price was married to Mary Sue Sweeney Price, the former director of the Newark Museum, and the two were often described as “the first couple of Newark” because of their “many contributions to the city and its people.”

impact me?’” Morchel said. “It’s tough, but having a role model like Rolf Benirschke is great. …

[It] makes a big difference to see people like that.”

While Benirschke acted as Morchel’s role model during the difficult transition, the former engineer also helped the NFL player realize his dream of giving back to the ostomate community. Both individuals found this to be easy to do once they became accustomed to life with an external ostomy.

Benirschke said he was touched by Morchel’s struggle.

He found the surgery could be difficult to cope with, especially at a young age.

“My experiences taught me that you can literally do anything you did prior to your operation and live a very active, fulfilling and productive life, and I wanted to share that with Herman,” Benirschke said.

Once Morchel felt he had fully recovered from his hospital stint, he immediately turned to his role model as a source of guidance, he said.

Occupying his time with various activities to keep himself busy, he worked full-time, attending pre-

med classes at night and volunteering for the Nutley Rescue Squad.

“It was difficult, but it worked out because it was something that I wanted to do,” Morchel said.

“Some people have hobbies and things like that — this all just took up my time.”

Now as a physician at the Hackensack University Medical Center, Morchel consistently makes the effort to raise the spirits of his patients, he said.

Although he does not feel comfortable with disclosing his medical history to patients, he does tell them about Benirschke, he said.

He believes most ostomy patients do not realize that they can lead a normal life, and he does his best to provide reassurance.

While Benirschke’s words of encouragement allowed Morchel to realize his dream of becoming a physician, Morchel’s letter allowed the ex-NFL star to use his status as a platform for helping others. “[Morchel’s] letter was different in that he was sharing ver y personal information about a subject that I cared deeply about. After my experiences, I developed a deep empathy for others going through similar challenges,” Benirschke said.

Herman Morchel (left) was inspired by former NFL player Rolf Benirschke (right) for his recovery from ulcerative colitis. COURTESY OF HERMAN MORCHEL He realized he had the opportunity to use his high status to encourage others and said it has become his life’s mission.

Even though Morchel is not currently attending or working for the Rutgers New Jersey Medical School, Chief Operating Officer Walter Douglas believes the alumnus is a prime example of the type of doctors the school hopes to produce.

He said he is always impressed with the caliber of the graduates, along with their compassion.

“Our students … continue to demonstrate how they really care about the person [being treated].

This story is a testament of that type of doctor that we’re turning out,” Douglas said.

Benirschke has founded and currently runs Legacy Health Strategies, a company dedicated to supporting patients of all kinds.

Morchel, on the other hand, essentially does the same thing but more directly in a hospital setting.

He receives a lot of satisfaction from his work as a health care professional, which he said is fundamentally about making a difference.

“Life is tough — if we can do something, just one little thing to make someone a little happier, improve their outlook [on life], or help them get by even for one day, it’s a really good feeling,” he said.

on television,” he confessed to a laughing crowd.

Buress, comedian, musician and actor, performed a sold-out show for more than 500 students. The Rutgers University Programming Association sponsored the event.

Buress has been featured on Comedy Central, late-night talk shows and on the FX sitcom “Louie,” according to the RUPA Facebook page.

“An hour until I get my check,” he observed. “Start the clock.”

Tickets were sold out online, according to RUPA’s Facebook event, and 150 were available at the door, first come, first serve.

“I didn’t vote on Tuesday and …

I’m okay with that,” Buress joked.

“The bad thing about me not voting? I did a commercial telling people to vote.”

Jones filled his jokes with race, gender, class issues, personal stories and self-deprecating punch lines.

One story involved his grandmother, who came on a charter bus with 50 other black women.

“Half of them wanted to see the play “Raisin in the Sun,” the other half wanted purses from Chinatown,” he said.

The ladies complained when he tried to take them to exciting places.

The lesson he learned?

“You can take an old woman anywhere as long as it’s nice and cool,” he said. “I took these women to a Walgreens and they f---ing lose their minds.”

Jones said he likes the attitude of New Yorkers. Everybody’s proud, even homeless people.

“The dude was homeless, but he still had the confidence of a stock broker,” Jones said.

The man said adamantly that he had recently lost his job and refused to rob anybody or sell drugs.

“And as soon as he said he refused to sell drugs, everybody stopped listening,” Buress said.

Buress’ first story was about him trying to figure out a way to play Russian roulette without anybody dying.

“It’s high stakes, but somebody has to die usually,” he said. “I don’t want that.” He decided that they would take shots at an Xbox instead, which meant they risked the Xbox’s warranty not covering bullet damage.

Buress also bemoaned what he calls “D-plus fame.”

“That means that I can’t just walk right into a five star restaurant and get a table, but I can cut you in line at a food truck,” he joked.

Noting his audience, Burress confessed that he didn’t graduate college. “Some of you won’t either, and that’s okay,” he said.

Buress said he loves comedy because it’s straightforward, unlike working at a restaurant, where he would probably insist that everyone order the same thing.

When he sees military personnel, Buress jokes that he doesn’t know whether he should go up and thank the person, because he can’t be sure what they’ve actually done.

“I don’t know if he was in combat or if he can just do more pushups than me,” he said. “I’d go up to him and ask, ‘Why are you in full uniform in this Applebee’s right now? This is definitely a neutral zone.’”

Student entrepreneur turns nail art trends into business JANINE PUHAK STAFF WRITER

They say inspiration gives no warning, so it is best to always be prepared. Adina Kramer, a Rutgers Business School junior, was struck with a bolt of genius soon after beginning work at the information desk of the Sonny Werblin Recreation Center on Busch campus.

Tasked with welcoming in the athletically enthusiastic masses by scanning their student ID cards, Kramer found herself receiving more compliments on her unusually detailed nail art than the number of swipe cards she handled. “‘Oh my gosh — where do you get your nails done? I want them!

I need them!’” Kramer said with a laugh, recalling the hordes of girls en-route to workout who couldn’t get enough of the tricolor checker board, glitter plumes and exquisite flower prints that adorned her fingertips.

The compliments were nothing new for Kramer, who has been praised for her cosmetic creativity for as long as she could remember.

Nail design always intrigued her, and she has been experimenting with exquisitely intricate patterns on her own nails since high school.

Family and friends were delighted when Kramer officially decided to advance her passion and turn her talents into a profitable venture.

“Designs by Adina” launched on Facebook on Oct. 20 and began to serve as an online business platform for Kramer. Clients can scroll through a photomontage, similar to Tumblr, then contact Kramer via phone. An on-campus meeting location will then be arranged, and that is where the authentically custom manicure will take place.

The only requirement for clients is they must arrive with their nails cut and filed. Kramer can take it

from there. With a fully stocked set of nail polish and thin brushes, similar to the tools of a professional, Kramer swirls away with chevron stripes, pumpkins and snowflakes.

The cost of her manicure session is only $8.

Kramer finds joy in nail designing, as it allows her to channel her artistic vision while making others happy.

“I like the creativity of it, the constant trying to find new ideas and new designs, …[especially] seeing the ideas that people have when they show me pictures,” she said.

She draws the majority of her inspiration from photos she views on Instagram or just people on the street.

“Designs by Adina” had its first successful event on campus last Monday. However, her first largescale recognition event took place in her 450-person Intro to Management lecture class.

“We were broken up into small groups working on a project, and the professor was walking around asking if any of us were entrepreneurs in real life,” Kramer said. “I said yes and was the only one who stood in front of my 450 classmates to talk about it!”

Attracting 197 likes on the Facebook page and a fruitful few weeks of business, Kramer looks forward to watching her business flourish and having fun along the way.

Kramer advises aspiring entrepreneurs to take the plunge and embrace the possibilities.

“Just go for it — don’t be scared!” she said.

When it comes to the future, “Designs by Adina” has its sights set on breaking into the markets of high school students, birthday parties and sorority date nights.

With affordable prices, flexible scheduling and a particular expertise in French manicures, she will surely “nail” it.

Adina Kramer decided to start her nail art business after receiving many compliments on her own nails from other students. She now hosts nail sessions by appointment on campus.

WEEK IN REVIEW: Laurels and Darts JERSEY ROOTS

PROBLEMATIC PROFESSOR

We’ve been pretty hard on Rutgers administration lately, but we have a laurel for the University this week. This week, Rutgers announced new programs at Atlantic County Community College as part of its partnership that allows students to earn four-year Rutgers degrees. We laurel Rutgers for remaining true to its commitment to its “Jersey roots” through its programs with community colleges that enhance accessibility to higher education throughout the state.

Last semester, there was some controversy surrounding the potential addition of Peter Ludlow to Rutgers faculty after the professor was accused of sexual assault by one of his students. Rutgers eventually decided against hiring Ludlow, but now that his trial is over, he is suing the student for defamation, claiming that she cost him the position at Rutgers. It’s a pretty shady situation, and we dart the culture that continues to blame and distrust victims of sexual violence.

Rutgers turned up for Halloweekend last week, but not as much as a certain media outlet would like you to believe. New Brunswick Today broke a story this week titled “RWJ hospital reportedly ran out of beds as alcohol overdoses overwhelmed Hub City responders,” but according to a statement from the hospital itself, this was not actually the case — 12 patients that were intoxicated were admitted, and all of them were released by morning. This dart goes to the newspaper for blowing things out of proportion for absolutely no reason.

ART FOR ALL Admission to the Zimmerli Art Museum has always been free for Rutgers students, but a new admissions policy allows all museum attendees to visit without an entry fee. This museum is one of the largest and one of the most prominent university-based museums in the country, boasting approximately 60,000 artifacts. We laurel the Zimmerli Art Museum for its shift to a more inclusive policy, removing barriers for many low-income families.

POLITICS ON POLITICS ON POLITICS The Eagleton Institute of Politics hosted its bi-annual “Morning After: Grading the Midterm Elections” event this week. It’s become a popular tradition, relied on as a source of comprehensive analysis and discussion of election results. Eagleton has always been an excellent resource for students, and we laurel the Institute for continuing to provide programming, events and informational resources that help keep our student body politically involved and informed.

DIVERSITY MATTERS According to a new study conducted by a professor and a doctoral candidate from the Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy, there is a lack of diversity in the New Jersey charter school demographics. Recent findings show that these schools are not taking in the percentage of students they should. We dart the New Jersey charter school system for an unrepresentative student body, possessing a disproportionately small group of students with learning disabilities, limited English proficiency and low socioeconomic status.

Gender roles continue to affect how we think about dating FRONTLINES ERIN PETENKO

DATING IS ABOUT TAKING THE LEAD Should girls be afraid to ask out guys?

Well, I have to admit I’m a little biased by experience. I only got my current boyfriend after giving up on waiting for him to strike and asking him to grab lunch. I was the first to kiss him, too, although he likes to say he conned me into it.

When I asked him whether me asking him was too “weird,” he gave a slightly bewildered look and shrugged as if to say, “Why would it matter?” Other guys I’ve asked have ranged in response from indifference to eagerness – some said, “I wish they would!”

Asking someone out is a nerve-wracking process for every single person on the Earth. You’re risking your pride and facing the fear of rejection from someone you probably value highly. But I don’t see why the burden should fall entirely on the male gender. Having to wait until a girl clearly shows interest is a clear disadvantage to men, and having to wait for the man to ask is a clear disadvantage to women.

Men approaching women goes back to the days when marriages were decided by families and money rather than love.

Women earned the right to propose beginning in Scotland in 1228. Even in Victorian times, a man had to first be introduced to a women to speak with her, and would give her a card to indicate his interest, all under the supervision of a chaperone. All of it in-

dicated the influence of the family over the young woman’s virtue, while leaving the woman herself powerless to choose her own fate.

But now, women have control over nearly everything in their lives: their careers, their social circles and their virginities.

Why should the matter of who to date or marry be put into a separate category? In an era where we are beginning to question the necessity of supposedly “chivalrous” activities, like forcing the man to pay, the practice of sitting and waiting for a Prince Charming seems extremely antiquated.

I hear too many women complain about how lonely they are or how they wish their crush would pick up on their signals. If I ask them why don’t they just ask that special someone out, they stammer something about it being “the guy’s role.”

It sounds to me as though they are only hiding behind tradition as an excuse for being shy.

Another reason they give is the fear that they will come off too strong and will “creep the guy out.” Well, men have to worry about the exact same situation! Too many people of both genders mock the proposer if the subject of affection is not interested. That doesn’t mean the stress of worrying whether the woman will find them “creepy.”

I hope that any women reading this column don’t see it as a debate, but as directive. If you’re pining over that cutie in class or the nice-looking treasurer of your club, don’t wait – go get ‘em!

FRONTLINES BRENDA STOLYAR

WOMEN CHALLENGED BY STEREOTYPES While I don’t expect a guy to draw me like one of his French girls, if Jack can give up his spot on a floating door in the middle of a freezing cold ocean to save Rose, then a boy can just as easily ask me out on a date.

Nowadays, it is completely acceptable for any woman to make the first move. In fact, it is practically encouraged. We have made great strides throughout generations in establishing ourselves as independent and successful figures, all without the help of a man.

So why bow down to these invisible rules that only males can be the ones to initiate any sort of interest? Well, it all comes down to a word that many people throw around rather loosely and that most women ultimately have a phobia of being labeled: psychotic.

Approaching a man requires confidence and self-assurance, basically the independent woman that all females should strive to become. For a male figure, this seems to be associated with intimidation, cockiness and a fear of overstepping the gender boundaries set by society.

To show even the slightest bit of emotion toward another guy makes us “crazy” or “overemotional.” Not to mention the familiar, and always feared, idea of rejection.

It seems that when a girl does muster the courage to make even a slight move where the feeling isn’t reciprocated, guys like to blow it out of proportion in an effort to boost their egos.

They find the need to alert all of their friends that a stage-five clinger is running rampant in their house. We, as women, become partially blacklisted and, at other times, humiliated.

We have also somehow convinced those among us that commitment is the equivalent to selling your soul to the devil. Commitment phobia has never been so real, and a guy’s perspective on being tied down can be summed up in one phrase: “Why limit myself to one girl when I can easily have many?”

It’s officially cool to be that girl who doesn’t care that the guy she’s been hanging out with leaves the party with someone else. Masking your feelings has somehow become the way to win over a guy. Texting, calling or Snap Chatting them first apparently represents a clear cut sign that you were, for some reason, thinking about him, when he wasn’t at all thinking about you in return.

Guys thrive on claiming that girls are these over-analytical human beings who calculate each and every inch of a male without realizing they, in return, do exactly same. Who knew that a simple hello from a woman meant their underlying goals were to marry the guy and birth his children?

You can say I’m being dramatic or thinking too far in-depth about a topic that we have already overcome years ago, but as long as men continue to use terms such as “psycho” to describe the women who express romantic interest in them, then they can continue to complain about always having to make the first move.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Zoos are important part of education, environmental awareness In this day and age, it is very clear that the focus of most college-aged adults are things like what the newest high-tech gadgets available are and what they plan to do with their friends this weekend. What they usually don’t do is to take the time to step back and look at is the big picture that is the world, especially the natural world. Recently, I read that the black rhino was officially declared extinct and that the white rhino is very soon to follow. Another article said wild hedgehogs in the United Kingdom could go extinct within the next 10 to 20 years.

The next issue lies in conserving and helping these species to survive. Zoos play an integral part in this, but they sometimes get a bad reputation due to misconceptions. People think the animals are treated poorly and that they don’t have enough space and just lack a general environment that ideally represents their natural habitat. But what peo-

“

ple don’t realize is all the good zoos do, such as their usually extensive conservation programs and reintroduction programs to help these species thrive again in the wild. They also take extensive measures to prevent “zoochosis,” a sort of mental state animals could enter when they become extremely bored in their enclosure and that leads to abnormal and sometimes violent behavior.

The last issue lies in the zoos’ being slightly less popular now than they were many years ago. Therefore, the zoos are not making as much money as they used to, which could lead to enclosures not being as up-to-date as they should and enrichment practices not being sufficient enough to keep the animals occupied. People need to see that it’s their visits that help the zoo thrive and in turn, the species themselves. Zoos are a great way for the public to become educated and for them to see animals they wouldn’t normally be able to see in the wild. This is why people should visit more often and take advantage of what these amazing facilities have to offer.

Rutgers should not become involved with corporate interests As a Rutgers alumna, I have grown very uncomfortable with the cozy and symbiotic relationship developing between the University and research facilities, pharmaceutical industries and the National Institutes of Health.

New Jersey is the pharmaceutical and medical capital of the world. With a shrinking job market, New Jersey politicians are trying to prevent other states from siphoning off the financial flow of these industries for themselves. University officials are keen marketers of the growing “health sciences.” However, by becoming a designated research university, Rutgers has made a tradeoff — it receives corporate dollars to promote corporate interests. Now, the University wants its graduates to help support these

corporate interests, too.

The University’s persistent pressure on alumni to donate to the research mission and the ensuing guilt for not donating enough, as evidenced by the recent “Playing the Percentages” article in the alumni magazine, Rutgers Magazine, is particularly irritating. But even more troubling is the University’s use of donations and taxpayers’ money to amplify and prop up costly, ineffective and inhumane animal research. For example, a few years ago, Rutgers received $3.5 million of taxpayers’ money from the NIH to conduct cruel and unnecessar y experiments on animals in order to demonstrate the obviously damaging effects of alcohol on the unborn, which isn’t news to anyone.

As long as Rutgers University continues to beat the drum for Big Pharma and Big Ag and expand its role in the exploitation of animals in research, farming and aquaculture, you can count me out for any monetary support.

Renegotiate terms. Think of more ways to succeed. Speculate and fantasize. Ask someone who loves you to describe your talents. Don’t argue with reality, but perceptions change with your viewpoint.

Pisces ( Feb. 19-March 20) — Today is a 7 — Communications could seem garbled or jumbled, lost in translation. Postpone an excursion. Curtail extravagance. Strong differences of opinion block the action. Do a lot of listening. Overwhelm is temporary. Wait for clarity and better conditions.

DEFEAT Michigan scored three unanswered goals in second half versus Rutgers CONTINUED FROM BACK

Sophomore goalkeeper David Greczek and the Knights’ defense must avoid falling behind early in games if they are to advance far in the conference tournament. EDWIN GANO / STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER

PLAY Rutgers has allowed a goal within first five minutes in each of its last three games CONTINUED FROM BACK tournament’s play-in game between the No. 8 and No. 9 seed.

The winner then faces the No. 1 seed and Big Ten regular season champion Maryland the following day in what could be a revenge match for the Knights.

But first, Rutgers must take care of business against the Badgers (3-11-3, 0-7-1), whom it beat 3-2 in thrilling double-over time fashion for its first and only conference win at the McClimon Complex in Madison, Wisconsin.

“Last time, we beat Wisconsin, so we feel good about that, but we also know that every game is our last game now, potentially, so we’re obviously going to play hard and do our best,” Bruccoleri said.

While the morale of the team may be high entering the conference tournament, the Knights still have glaring inconsistencies.

For one, they have conceded

ROAD Ohio State fell twice to Penn State in straight set losses last weekend CONTINUED FROM BACK Werneke is not concerned with how the Knights will perform against them.

“They’re not any different than what we have seen already,” Werneke said. “They have a little more depth and great size.

There [are] not many areas of weakness to exploit with them, and they will continue to push us, so we have to be prepared for that. If we can figure that out and keep fighting, then we will see.”

As for Rutgers’ other opponent this weekend, Ohio State just experienced what it is like to play the defending national champions.

The Buckeyes dropped both of their games in straight sets to

in the opening five minutes in their last three games and have conceded first in 13 of their 17 games this year, including during their win against the Badgers.

Rutgers also enters the contest as the loser of three games straight and is likely to be without junior forward J.P. Correa, who has been absent the last four games with a hamstring injury and scored two crucial goals, including the game-winner, during the team’s win at Wisconsin.

The Badgers’ record has not been that much more impressive, but Wisconsin did earn an impressive 2-2 tie against No. 2-ranked Indiana and fell in a tight double-overtime contest on the road at No. 23 Penn State.

Even during the Knights’ morale-boosting home loss to the Terrapins, Rutgers still only managed one shot in the second half, struggling to build any possession in the midfield and often relying on long balls over top.

Given the team’s bad habits this season, sophomore midfielder Erik Sa is aware of the mistakes that need to be corrected.

“In the midfield … our marking wasn’t good enough [against Maryland],” Sa said. “We were playing kind of like zonal defending and Mael [Corboz] got loose

early on, and that’s kind of what led to the goal. And there were other parts throughout the game — some of their midfielders got free and they were pretty good off the ball — so that was tough for us, but we have to be smart enough and figure out a way to stop that.”

With the regular season over, the Knights cannot afford another slip up if they are to have any chance at advancing to the NCAA Tournament.

With only a few days to prepare for what is sure to be an uphill battle, Donigan said the message to his team is simple. “[Showing them] what they’re capable of,” Donigan said of the team message. “I’ve been trying to tell them all year, and that’s been our motivation: ‘You guys have the talent. You have the ability. You just have to play with the pride, passion, heart and work for each other as one. You’re able to compete against anybody.’

That was the message … and I know that we’re capable of going into Maryland this weekend and winning both games.”

The big stage is something DelVecchio is accustomed to, Ashnault said. Head coach Scott Goodale said the energy sophomore brings for South Plainfield sets him apart from other grapplers.

It’s something that makes him bring his best and is evidenced by the open tournaments he has won and the New Jersey State Championships he also holds. But first, he must make it to the first dual meet as the starter at 133 pounds.

If he does that, Goodale is thrilled for what may come.

“We have to make a decision who the guy there is. If he’s the guy, his role is to be an All-American and win big matches for us,” Goodale said. “He’s very exciting, and he has more fun wrestling than most — he’s really entertaining.

He loves big matches — the bigger the matches, the better he is. He’s probably bored with practice [because] he just wants to wrestle in those big matches.”

And DelVecchio is ready to wrestle.

He rebounded in a big way after

losing his wrestle-off by winning the Clarion Open. He has gotten better in the early part of this season and expects big things from himself.

“What are my expectations? I can only hope to be the best I can be,” DelVecchio said. “Hopefully, that’s somewhere near the top of that podium in March, if not the top.

Really, I guess, it’s a high finish at Nationals, nothing short of a podium spot.”

The plan was simple.

From the forefront of the 2014 season, the Rutgers women’s soccer team had aspirations to take the Big Ten by storm and seize the prestigious women’s soccer conference crown without hesitation.

Despite a recent three-game losing skid, the Scarlet Knights got back to basics and seemed to have returned to form with a 2-0 shutout at Ohio State in the regular season finale.

But after a stunning 1-0 loss to fifth-seeded Iowa in the quarterfinals of the Big Ten Conference Tournament, Rutgers finds itself playing the waiting game upon its return to Piscataway.

While it’s clear this wasn’t how the blueprint was drawn up, Mike O’Neill’s team is regrouping.

Even with the uncertainty that lingers as the Knights await their fate by announcement of the NCAA Tournament selection committee regarding whether their season would continue with an at-large bid, O’Neill noted the only thing left to do is continue to push to get better.

“The NCAA announces the bid on Monday, so we’ll get [the players] a few days off to kind of get their feet back first because we’ve been traveling for the past three weeks,” he said. “Get home, practice for a couple days, fly, get home, couple of practices and then we’re flying again. So, I think we really

need to get them off their feet a couple of days and then bring them in Saturday … to stay sharp.”

While it is O’Neill’s first year on the job as head coach, the landscape manifesting before him of his team’s season is one he has seen before.

Following an 11-2-1 start last year, the Knights dropped two of their last four matches in a skid where they went 1-2-1 and finished the regular season slate at 12-4-1.

Despite an AAC Tournament

“I think we feel good about our chances, but we’re obviously not going to take our foot off the gas pedal in the meantime.”

run that merited more success than this year’s early exit in the quarterfinals of the Big Ten Conference Tournament, the increased quality of teams in Rutgers’ new conference balances out the scaling of judgment on the results.

With a selection committee evaluating the resumes of each school for a slot in the 64-team field, the Knights should still feel confident in their chances, even with the acknowledgement of their slip to the finish line.

Three of the past four losses recorded have all been 1-0 shutouts, which, ironically, was something Rutgers had been on the winning side of all season long. Prior to that losing stretch, O’Neill’s squad had squeezed out a total of six 1-0 shutout wins.

In the mind of junior backer Brianne Reed, the only thing she and her teammates can do in the meantime is continue to strive for improvements as they wait to see if their postseason will continue.

“We’ll keep training, doing whatever we need to do to be prepared for, hopefully, whoever we play in the first round [of the NCAA Tournament],” Reed said.

After an 11-1-1 start to the season that seemed to have Rutgers on the fast track to one of the greatest seasons in the program’s 30 years of rich history, O’Neill admitted it would be a shame for his team to not have a shot at redemption.

But in the meantime, O’Neill said his players would receive necessary rest and treatment prior to revving things back up before the NCAA Tournament opens.

“I think we feel good about our chances, but we’re obviously not going to take our foot off the gas pedal while we wait,” O’Neill said. “So it’s all about we take [Wednesday’s match against Iowa] and try to figure out a way to get better from it.”

Now, Rutgers must quickly shift its attention to a familiar foe in Wisconsin. The two teams travel to College Park, Maryland to face off Saturday in the conference

With its recent home stand over, the Rutgers volleyball team sets to hit the road this weekend at Penn State and Ohio State.

The Scarlet Knights (7-18, 0-12) are still looking to snap out of a 12-game losing streak.

Considering the level of competition they are about to face this weekend, it may be another week until the Knights return to their winning ways.

Penn State (22-3, 10-2) represents the top tier of the Big Ten, while Ohio State (16-8, 7-5) has shown it is also a legitimate contender this year in conference play.

After winning the national championship last season, the Nittany Lions have had no trouble picking up where they left off.

Unlike the Knights, Penn State is currently on a six-game winning streak against Big Ten competition, where they have only dropped two sets.

They lead the Big Ten in hitting percentage (.346) and opponent hitting percentage (.152), highlighting that the Nittany Lions are operating to their full offensive and defensive potential.

Penn State also features some of the top talents in the nation with middle blocker Nia Grant and setter Micha Hancock.

Grant is first in the Big Ten in hitting percentage at .457, earning a kill on every other attempt she takes in games.

Hancock leads the conference in service aces, averaging exactly one ace per set.
