The group of about 20 cam-paign workers — made up in partby the College Republicans —were phone banking when the twomembers of the Christie campaign
came by to discuss their impor-tance in the overall strategy for thegubernatorial election.
“We reach out to everybody whohas registered and has a history ofvoting,” DuHaime said. “We use a vari-ety of ways — phone banks, door todoor — [and] we’re very active onFacebook, and we try to utilize new

Phone banking involves callingvoters to gauge who they support inthe Nov. 3 gubernatorial election.

U. looks out ofstate to increaserevenue, diversity
BY MARY DIDUCHASSOCIATE NEWS EDITOR
With insufficient funds to meet the 20 percent increase infinancial aid applicants the University saw this year, under-graduate admissions wants to increase the number of out-of-state and international students to generate more revenue.
Vice President of Enrollment Management CourtneyMcAnuff said the University is looking to increase theamount by 2 to 3 percent over the next year, an equivalentof 700 to 900 students.
While this is not a large increase, out-of-state and inter-national students — who compose about 9 percent of theundergraduate student body — pay almost double thetuition of in-state students, he said. Accepting more out-of-state students who do not need aid would significantlyincrease University revenue.
“That revenue then can go to offset financial aid for needyNew Jersey students,” McAnuff said. “Right now we’re real-

Just in time for DomesticViolence Awareness Month,Verizon Wireless is expanding anon-campus cell phone-recyclingprogram that will benefit sur-vivors of domestic violencethroughout October.
The program, called U-HopeLine, is partnering with theSchool of Social Work to installcollection bins in six new loca-tions, said Judith Zenowich,director of development at theSchool of Social Work.
Through U-HopeLine, donat-ed phones will be refurbishedand given to local shelters andagencies to distribute to sur-vivors of domestic violence, with3,000 pre-paid minutes, whichcan be renewed each year, saidVerizon Wireless spokesmanDavid Samberg.
Older wireless phones arefully dismantled and recycled inan environmentally friendly way.
“The phones get used eitherway in a good way, towards bene-fiting survivors of domestic vio-lence,” Zenowich said.
The proceeds from the recy-cling are used to provide cashgrants to shelters and non-profitsserving survivors of domestic
Verizon, U. initiative calls on students to drop off hopeviolence in the New York metroarea, Samberg said.
Recipients of the new cellphones could use them for seek-ing employment, legal counsel,daycare services and personaluse, he said. The phones may alsoallow survivors to elude abuserswho may be tracking them.
“The program lets survivorsuse wireless technology to gettheir lives back in order,”Samberg said. “You need a phonenumber for getting a job. Withtheir own cell phone, women inthese situations do not have togive a shelter’s number whenasked for contact information.”
Wireless phones, batteries,chargers and accessories in anycondition can be dropped off inbins located at the Cook CampusCenter, Livingston StudentCenter, Winants Hall on theCollege Avenue campus and atthe Graduate School of SocialWork building at 536 GeorgeStreet. This is in addition to binsalready installed at the Buschand Douglass Campus Centers,Zenowich said.
Permanent collection pointswill also be made available atRutgers-Newark and Rutgers-Camden campus centers, makingthe recycling program accessibleto more than 50,000 students and
more than 6,000 faculty and staffmembers at the University, shesaid. Smaller cardboard U-HopeLine boxes are also set up inmany administrative buildingsacross campus.
Verizon Wireless donates10,000 to 15,000 pre-paid phonesto domestic violence shelters
and agencies each year, as wellas money to local advocacyorganizations, big and small,that focus on domestic violenceprevention and awareness,Samberg said.
The University was the firstto institute the U-HopeLineprogram last October, anexpansion of Verizon Wireless’national HopeLine program,Zenowich said.
School of Arts and Sciencesfirst-year student Casey
Friedman said she would donatea phone to the program.
“It’s a good cause,” she said. In addition to collecting cell
phones, U-HopeLine estab-lished a $100,000 endowedscholarship to graduate stu-dents seeking their Master ofSocial Work at the Universitywho specialize in violenceagainst women and children,said Rachel Schwartz, a pro-gram coordinator at the Schoolof Social Work’s Center onViolence Against Women andChildren. Scholarships of $1,500were awarded to three studentsin both 2008 and 2009.
The Center on ViolenceAgainst Women and Childrenhas also worked with studentgroups on used cell phonedrives and hopes to do morecommunity action projects withcampus organizations this year,Schwartz said.
U-HopeLine collected 500phones last year on the NewBrunswick/Piscataway campusand hopes to increase that num-ber with the expansion of thesix additional boxes and theaddition of boxes on theNewark and Camden campuses,Zenowich said.
Phones are picked up andcounted from all collection points
twice a month and sent to VerizonWireless at no charge to theUniversity, she said.
Mason Gross senior DennisBudeshein said the program is fora good cause, but he does nothave a cell phone he could donate.
“If I had it, I would. It’s just Idon’t have one to give and I don’thave money to buy a new one,”he said.
HopeLine also supporteddirect services to victims ofdomestic violence at theUniversity through a $5,000 con-tribution to Sexual AssaultServices and Crime VictimAssistance’s general operatingfund, Director Ruth AnneKoenick said.
HopeLine was created in 1999as part of Verizon Wireless. TheNew Jersey branch has workedwith, supported or is in contactwith every domestic violenceadvocacy and service group inthe New York metro area,Samberg said.
“We’re a cell phone company,”he said. “The thinking is to dowhat you know to help people,and helping domestic violencesurvivors has been a perfect fitfor us for over 10 years.”

Violation of the law can resultin a civil lawsuit for damages byan injured party, according to theCitizen Media Law Project.
University Professor RonMiskoff said the policy could applyto incidences where a student tookan unflattering cell phone video ofanother student and later put it uponline without consent.
But Miskoff also explained thebenefits of undercover reporting.
“Usually when you do report-ing surreptitiously, it’s becauseyou’re trying to reveal somethingthat wouldn’t be available other-
wise,” he said. “A journalist should-n’t use surreptitious recordingexcept as a last resort. Undercoverreporting has yielded some of ourmost important public issues.”
University Professor BruceReynolds said people should havethe right to know when they’rebeing recorded.
“I think that’s the ethical thingto do,” he said.
Reynolds said he supportedthe implementation of a policyregarding secretive recordingbut wasn’t sure how much itwould accomplish.
“I think that a policy is a goodidea, but I think in today’s day and
age, where pretty much everybody’sgot a cell phone or a recorder, thathorse is out of the barn; you can’t getit back in there,” he said.
School of Arts and Science first-year student Nicole Adamostressed the importance of privacy.
“Everyone has their right totheir own privacy,” she said.
Adamo said she didn’t see anyneed for undercover investigativeprojects at the University.
“It’s not necessary,” she said.Reynolds said secretive
recording would always have acertain appeal.
“Sometimes the people [thatjournalists] deal with are pretty
slick, and they know they’redoing stuff wrong so they don’twant to be recorded, for good rea-son,” Reynolds said.
Reportage gained throughsecretive recording comes at a costthough, he said. Reporters and edi-tors need to find different or betterways to excavate information.
“There’s a long history ofnews organizations getting introuble by not telling peoplewhen they’re recording,”Reynolds said. “If you’re going togo down that road there’s no wayof coming back. I think you throwyour ethics under the bus if youdo that.”

more about New Jersey,” DuHaimesaid. “A lot of people want to figureout what this means nationally.”
Being a big state, people arewatching, and there are only twogovernors’ races this year, he said.
“There is a disproportionateamount of attention being paid to it,but it’s mostly about trying to figureout what’s going on here,” he said.
Centenillo, who formerlyworked for the campaigns of Gov.Arnold Schwarzenegger, R-Calif.,and former Gov. Mitt Romney, R-Mass., spoke about the strategyto win New Jersey.
“In New Jersey, you have tolearn to campaign all over againbecause it’s like no other state,”Centenillo said. “The strategy forus is to monopolize the energythat’s out there. We’ve been see-ing volunteers come into ourcampaign that are Democratsand Independents as well.”
It is less about party lines andmore about policy, he said. Theyhad a lot of Democrat andIndependent volunteers comingto work for them.
“A lot of people like Chris’ rep-utation as a crime-fighter and cor-ruption buster, but then they don’tlike Corzine, and it makes for aperfect storm,” Centenillo said.
The campaigns used to beabout where people lived andengaging voters in regionsrather than individual voters, butnow it is more focused, he said.The people they target either donot like Corzine or are interestedin Christie.
“We engage in micro-target-ing,” Centenillo said. “Now, it’smore about figuring out whatthey do, what they like, like ifthey are buying Coors Light,they’re Republican; if they’re buy-ing tofu, they’re Democrats.”
The makeup of party lines issomewhat even when you look atthe breakdowns that micro-tar-geters give the campaign, he said.There is a lot of variety in who tolook for, and Spanish scripts areavailable to phone bankers as well.
The students call MiddlesexCounty citizens to get their sup-
through our committee on studentconduct and it hasn’t gonethrough those processes yet.”
A University council isreviewing the policy, she said.
“We still have to finish thatand move it along,” Pollak said.
Under New Jersey law, Title 2AAdministration of Civil andCriminal Justice, Article 156Astates it is a criminal offense tointercept or record an in-person or
ly struggling with the loss of statedollars to get sufficient money tohelp needy students.”
University PresidentRichard L. McCormick saidthe increase in non-N.J. stu-dents provides both financialand intellectual advantages forthe University.
“They help support the edu-cation of Rutgers students,” hesaid. “They pay full tuition andthe tuition they pay is more than[what] New Jersey kids pay.”

“It’s a challenge that I’venever actually seen attempted,”he said. “It’s good to see some-one take it down, and hopefully inthe future I can eat a ‘Fat Adam.’”
School of Arts and Sciencessenior Stephen Kropa said hesaw Richman Saturday outsidethe Homecoming game.
“It was really fun to see himwalking around, and I’ve beensaying it for years he shouldcome here and do this chal-lenge,” Kropa said.
A crowd of University stu-dents formed a circle aroundRichman while he filmed theintroduction to the challenge.
Among those in the crowdwas Darrell Butler, the namesakeof the “Fat Darrell” sandwich.
Butler, a 1998 University alum-nus, said when he was a collegestudent, there was only one kindof sandwich — the “Fat Cat.”

McCormick said their pres-ence in the classroom alsoimproves students’ education.
“Out-of-state and internationalstudents bring … a lot of diversityand experience from differentparts of the world and differentcultures,” he said.
McAnuff said the admissionsoffice is looking to add to the diver-sity of incoming classes to mirrorthe world.
“We’re focusing a lot on theinternational students, more sothan domestic and out-of-state[students],” he said.
The University has recruitersin 26 foreign cities, primarily inthe Middle East, South Americaand Asia, McAnuff said.
Despite these benefits,McCormick said the University isnot looking to change the missionof the University, which is to con-tinue to provide for N.J. students.
“Right now, [more than] 90 per-cent of our undergraduate studentsare from New Jersey, and while thatpercentage may change a bit in theyears ahead, I’m confident Rutgers’primary educational mission will befocused on men and women fromour own state,” he said.
The University’s percentage ofout-of-state students is significant-ly lower than that of other publicstate universities, McAnuff said.
Penn State’s and theUniversity of Connecticut’sundergraduate student bodies are
about 28 percent out-of-state, hesaid. The University of Michiganis close to 30 percent out-of-state.
“We’re not even in the ball-park,” McAnuff said.
He said as a flagship publicuniversity, it is important to rep-resent the world and the rest ofthe country, but access andresources for N.J. studentscome first.
School of Arts and Sciencesfirst-year student Sarah Festa ofScranton, Pa. said she would liketo see more non-N.J. students likeher on campus.
But Festa, who does notreceive any financial aid, said theUniversity should increase aid forthese students.
“I pay so much and everybodyaround me doesn’t,” she said.
Festa said the University is agreat place for out-of-state stu-dents, but it comes with a price.
“The school is good if you lookat it as a student, but if you’re goingto have to pay for it by yourself ormostly on your own, I don’t neces-sarily think financially or monetari-ly it’s the best school,” she said.
School of Arts and Sciencessophomore Jenny Butryn, an in-state student, said increasing out-of-state students has pros and cons.
“I guess it’s good to bring inrevenue,” she said. “Then again, Ilove how Rutgers is all about NewJersey and everyone [is] fromNew Jersey.”
request to the Grease Trucksone night.
“What I wanted the wholeweek was chicken fingers, moz-zarella sticks [and] fries, but sep-arately [that] would have cost $10or $12, [and I] didn’t have $10 or$12,” he said. “But I did haveenough for a ‘Fat Cat.’”
Butler said he asked theemployees at the Grease Trucks ifthey could make a sandwich withthe aforementioned ingredients.He said the next 10 people orderedthe same thing, and the truck sold50 “Fat Darrells” that first night.
“It’s been the number one sell-er since,” Butler said.
He said he has been on otherTV shows on the Food Networkand the Travel Channel, such as“Extreme Pig Outs.” Butler saidhe was there yesterday to coachRichman through the challenge.
“We have a strategy going; he’strying to pick things that aren’t [tooheavy]. … He’s going to get some-thing a little thinner, so he shouldbe able to pull this off,” he said. “Hehasn’t eaten all day, he’s been train-ing for it, so he should be good.”
As Richman finished the sand-wiches, Elnaggar ran them out to
him from the Grease Trucks oneby one, still hot from the kitchen.
Elnaggar said the TravelChannel also came to the GreaseTrucks to film a different showlast year but there was not a largecrowd turnout because it was dur-ing winter break.
Despite students not beingpresent at last year’s filming, hesaid the episode’s airing helpedbring in a lot of business.
“It feels real good that ourfood can be on a Rutgers cam-pus,” Elnaggar said. “It feels likea family and mom’s kitchen.”
Despite cheers and shoutsfrom the crowd encouragingRichman to take “one more bite,”after consuming four fat sand-wiches, the host exceeded the 45-minute time limit and failed tocomplete the challenge.
Students stayed after the chal-lenge to ask Richman questions oncamera as part of the “press con-ference” portion of the episode.The host also took photos andsigned autographs with students.
The New Jersey episode of“Man v. Food,” will premiere onDec. 9 on the Travel Channel,according to their official Web site.
port, said State Chair for theYouth Coalition Tali Rasis. Theseefforts will also help them during“Get Out the Vote,” which willhappen in a few weeks.
“The student coalition [is]doing a lot of grassroots effort,making calls to people and talk-ing about Christie, putting uplawn signs, going to differentevents and rallying for Chris,”said Rasis, a School of Arts andSciences junior.
She said they are in the stagesof planning a rally, but nothing isconcrete yet.
The phone bankers are incompetition with Seton HallUniversity and Richard StocktonUniversity to see who will get themost phone calls, she said. Thisweek, Rutgers is winning, butthis might change.
Students were excited to seethe members of the campaign,said President of the CollegeRepublicans Ron Holden.
“I’ve been in [DuHaime’s]class, and he teaches us that it’sextremely important to volunteer,”said Holden, a Rutgers Collegesenior. “He came out here, and heis motivating our guys to make thephone calls for the Christie cam-paign. It’s extremely important asthis race tightens [and] we makesure we get out as many people aswe can to vote for Chris Christie.”
DuHaime teaches a politicalscience class on Douglass cam-pus together with Corzine ’09Campaign Manager and DeputyChief of Staff Maggie Moran.
“I have a soft spot for Rutgers,because I’m an alum,” DuHaimesaid. “I also teach here, and that’sone of the reasons I wanted tocome by tonight and thank all thestudents in my class who areworking here to phone bank.”
It is very effective to phonebank, DuHaime said. Volunteersmay not necessarily see its value,but when they’re more involvedand see the details of the cam-paign, it becomes easier to appre-ciate its importance, he said.
“Christie’s going to win,” hesaid. “Chris Christie offerschange that New Jersey needs,and I think he offers promise topeople to find jobs, to make thestate a better place again, whichhave been unfriendly to taxpayersand made it harder to find jobs.”
“I’m trying to figure out waysto increase the frequency with-out adding more buses,”Molenaar said. “It’s just not aneasy process.”
More express and localbuses should be created tosolve the issues of frequencyand overcrowded buses,Bruno said.
“They’re just such a hassle.The worst thing is being one ofthe first people to not be ableto fit on the bus,” he said.“You’re at the door and you’reone step there, but you don’t fitand you get kicked off.”

Students and members of thecouncil stood before Molenaarand addressed concerns directlyto him during their Monday nightmeeting. Other issues broughtup included crowded buses, non-functioning NextBus time tickersand parking changes.
“[Molenaar] says there aregoing to be future changes, andhe doesn’t want to do anything tosolve those problems right now,”said Jorge Casalins, a School ofArts and Sciences first-year stu-dent. “But that still doesn’t reallysolve the problem because theproblems are happening now.”
Many of the bus shelters aroundcampus are missing glass screens,and the University has not doneanything to fix them, Casalins said.
Molenaar said these problemsshould be addressed toUniversity Facilities andManagement, but they do notplan to fix any of the sheltersbecause they may permanentlyremove them.

“No one has a system like we do.
We have the largest bus system in the country.” JACK MOLENAAR
Director of Department of Transportation Services
Council External VicePresident Michael Bruno said itis pointless to have bus shelters ifthey are broken.
“Why have them there with-out glass? They’re supposed toprotect you from the elementsand the most they do [protectfrom] is the rain,” said Bruno, aSchool of Arts and Sciencessophomore. “The most they fit is20 people under those old NewJersey Transit bus shelters.”
If the bus shelters will not befixed, the University should con-sider using space heaters inorder to keep students warmwhen waiting for the next bus,said School of Arts and Sciencessophomore Elizabeth Pyshnik.
Members later addressedthe frequency of the buses on weekends.
Bruno said the weekendbuses run very slow and are usu-ally full to capacity with studentsas well as outsiders, especiallywhen the L and EE routes makelocal stops.
Molenaar said he noticed theweekend bus schedules are anissue that has been brought upmany times, but it is not somethingon his priority list at the moment.
He said adding more busescosts too much since only half ofthe transportation funds arestate-funded.
Buses are always crowded inbetween class times when goingbetween Busch and Livingstoncampuses and between Buschand the College Avenue campus,Bruno said.
Creating more bus routes is notonly more expensive; it is also dif-ficult to communicate to studentseach year about bus routechanges, Molenaar said. Many stu-dents get frustrated with changesand may become confused.
“I want to create more expressbuses … but every year peopledon’t get it,” he said. “I’ll have tore-explain it every year.”
Bruno said the departmentshould consider adding a fewmore buses during rush hour andin between class times, when thebuses are usually crowded.
Members voiced concernsover the new EE route, whichdoes not run on the opposite sideof College Avenue. Molenaarsaid this change was made inpreparation for the CollegeAvenue greening project, whichwill make College Avenue a one-way street.
Safety issues regarding the 24-hour bus routes were also a mat-ter of concern for students.
School of Arts and Sciencesjunior Arielle Alphonse said as aresident assistant, she is con-cerned regarding whether safety
issues and crime rates werelooked into ever since the bussystem changed to 24-hours andoutsiders have access to the cam-pus at all times.
Board of Trustees StudentRepresentative Josh Slavin saidthe hotel bus shuttle is not a 24-hour service.
“It would be nice to have a 24-hour bus service … I hope thehotels and [Residence HallAssociation] can take it up withhousing to accommodate us withthat,” said Slavin, a LivingstonCollege senior.
Molenaar said the shuttle isprovided by Housing andResidential Life, so he has nojurisdiction over that route.
He explained some of theparking changes to students andthe benefits of such changes. Hesaid the changes have saved thestudents more money while earn-ing the Department ofTransportation more money.
Soon to come are onlineappeal applications for parkingviolation tickets, and specialevent parking permits are nowavailable, Molenaar said.
Molenaar said the departmentcontinues to plan and implementnew ideas and services.
“No one has a system like wedo,” he said. “We have the largestbus system in the country.”

The University is alreadyactively recruiting New StudentOrientation Leaders to workthroughout next summer.
NSO leader information ses-sions are occurring throughoutthis week and are a mandatory partof the application process, saidSchool of Arts and Sciences juniorSelena Drobnick at Monday night’sSEBS/Cook Council meeting.
School of Environmental andBiological Sciences students havebeen underrepresented at the infor-mation sessions in the past, she said.
“Last year, we had a hugeturnout for a lot of School of Artsand Sciences students, and when wehad to do presentations on each ofthe schools, we realized that … wehad about two representatives fromeach school besides SAS,” Drobnicksaid. “We want to try to broaden thetype of students we have leadingNew Student Orientations.”
Summer 2010 will be the sec-ond summer in which the orien-tations are held, Drobnick said.They were previously held in thebeginning of the fall semester.
The summer orientations aremore intensive than the fall ses-sions had been, Drobnick said.They require a greater time com-mitment from Orientation Leaders.
“It is great that they changedthe schedule,” said CouncilRecording Secretary Nate Girer, aSchool of Environmental andBiological Sciences junior. “WhenI went to mine, it was two days andthere were these meetings thatweren’t mandatory, so most peo-ple just skipped them and hungout at the dorms. It was terrible.”
Girer said the intense timecommitment required by theposition might prevent him fromapplying for the job.
A sample workweek would lastfrom 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. on Mondaysand Thursdays and from 8 a.m. to6 p.m. on Tuesdays and Fridays,according to a University StudentLife Web site. Wednesday is con-sidered a “prep day.”
Drobnick said she has beenworking as a NSO leader for twoyears and feels the position isrewarding in many ways, despitethe long workdays.
The program offers opportu-nities to network with professorsand help confused new studentsfind their way around campus,she said.
“[NSO leaders] get $2,700 forthe summer, so it is an intensivesummer job,” Drobnick said. “Iknow that I have made connec-tions with deans — deans of stu-dents, academic deans — wework with them, hand-in-hand.”
The stipend is divided intofour payments: one immediatelyfollowing the end of the springsemester, twice throughout thesummer and one in the beginningof the new school year, she said.
Council Food ScienceRepresentative Gregory Reschsaid he is considering applyingfor an NSO leader position.
“I wanted to take some sum-mer classes, but if I don’t have any-thing else set up I would definitelydo this,” said Resch, a School ofEnvironmental and BiologicalSciences junior. “It’s good for theindividual. You learn a lot of lead-ership because you’re basicallymentoring the incoming freshmanabout everything that you know.”

gray area of the status quobecome the ideal for collegekids to strive for?
However true the abovearguments may be, kidswon’t cease their hard-party-ing habits because alcoholenhances their ability to befunny, daring and jocund.Without ethanol running
through their veins, many may find that their inse-curities still run rampant, stunting their social capa-bilities. Guys ensure that girls consume enoughalcohol to diminish their standards, enhancing theguys’ chance to use their oh-so-clever, alcohol-lacedsmooth talk to obliterate any walls that were notalready diminished by the girls’ altered state ofmind. Frankly, many partiers are not ashamed toadmit that they drink alcohol so that they can par-ticipate in things they are normally too bashful orself-aware to do. How wretched a society that cannotderive the ability to have a good — even crazy —time without suppressants deranging their mindset!
How shameless are the peoplewho bluntly admit that their ownpersonalities simply don’t sufficein the context of a jam-packedbasement! Somehow, exchangingdrunken mistakes from the nightbefore, reiterating just howsmashed you became on theimpressive amount and assort-ment of alcohol you housed, andpiecing together a night with glar-
ing holes in it with your fellow drunks has becomea popular pastime on the college campus.
Something a considerable portion of partygoerswill not forthrightly admit is the abject spirit that isso tangible in their life, for one reason or another,that they party as means of escaping these feelingsof inadequacy. While many college kids simplyparty for reasons mentioned above, there is nodenying that a sizeable amount go out to sink into acrowd of strangers, numbing their dejection, stressor hardship with the sense of oblivion that bombi-nates through the sea of heads. The obviouspredicament that surfaces in this case is that alcoholis not a miracle substance: Remarkably, it cannoterase the truths of reality, although it can temporar-ily abate its intensity.
It is crucial for college kids to realize that partyingis not necessary to deal with pain, alter their person-alities or partake in a good time. An insatiable feelingof emptiness — although perhaps not yet acknowl-edged — will surely eat our society alive, feeding offthe carcass of innovation, imagination and contrivancethat has been slaughtered by mainstream partying.

Y ou lead a sad, exceed-ingly pathetic exis-tence when you
directly correlate fun withpartying to the extent thatyour epistemic abilities fail toconjure up anything else thatcould be rendered as a goodtime. In truth, this mind-frame plagues many youngadults in college, as the setting cultivates and encour-ages the “party scene.” While it by no means has con-sumed the whole population of college students, ahearty percentage unequivocally rank partying asthe only activity worthy of a Thursday, Friday orSaturday night. What better way to spend your week-end nights then drowning in intoxication, perhapsconsequently acting wild, loose and uninhibited?
Perhaps most discouraging, the college campushas been littered with the stinking corpse of creativ-ity. When 20-year-olds can fathom nothing moreinteresting to do with their time than overuse thepastime that they have been exhausting for years,innovative spirit is suffocated.The quest to ignite the motivationto get through the next week ofwork, when extinguished at thenearest fraternity house, is left torot under the floorboards. Forsome, this scene becomes so all-consuming that people who fulfilltheir fun quota for the week byother means become not onlyunrelatable, but boring. Has ourcollege society become so degenerate, so uncre-ative in thought that participating in anything otherthan parties is instantaneously deemed as soporific?Enjoying the company of friends in settings that arevoid of blaring music and incorrigible groping mayseem mundane, but frankly, it is often these timesthat prove to be the rudiment of substantial rela-tionships and unforgettable events that concatenatea smorgasbord of memories.
Equally as otiose in nature is the drunken statein which many partiers stoop to while out on theirweekend excursions of fun and excitement — a truesymbol of moral decay. Most obviously, if you arenot 21 years of age yet, you are blatantly breakingthe law. Because many people have flouted this lawdoes not make it any less illegal, contrary to com-mon behavior and thought patterns. But, shyingaway from the legalistic standpoint, the objective togo out and get “hammered” falls pathetically shortof a noble, respectable one. However, being nobleand respectable no longer seems pertinent, so manyinstantly disregard this argument, labeling it asprude and miserably lacking and adventurous spir-it. I challenge that notion: Is it not far more adven-turous to seek alternatives to the drunken stuporthat encapsulates college students than to simplyaccept being the stereotype?

Ensure insurance forchubby babies
P eople usually go nuts for a cute chubby baby. Many commercialsfor baby products portray babies with cherub-like little faces andround tummies just looking cute and giggling. But for one baby in
Grand Junction, Colo., health insurance companies found his chubbybody anything but cute, and his family had unexpected difficulty gettinghim health coverage. Alex Lange, a 17-pound, 25-inch long 4-month-old,was initially denied health insurance from Rocky Mountain Health Plans.The underwriters, the people who assess risks for insurance companies,had determined that baby Alex’s pre-existing obesity condition put him athigh risk. His parents started looking for another health insuranceprovider when their current insurer raised rates 40 percent after Alexwas born. They were at a loss with what to do, because their baby —through no fault of his own — was denied coverage. He is not even on adiet of solid foods yet. “I could understand if we could control what he’seating. But he’s 4 months old. He’s breast feeding,” joked his frustratedfather, Bernie Lange, a part-time news anchor at KKCO-TV in GrandJunction. “We can’t put him on the Atkins diet or on a treadmill. There isjust something absurd about denying an infant.” Thankfully, the insur-ance company has given this baby a second chance, and has reversed itspolicy of denying fat babies coverage, according to the Associated Press.
There is something rather ludicrous about denying a baby health insur-ance. When children are that young they have medical needs and expensesthat must be taken care of because they are growing rapidly. Alex will needvaccinations and check-ups, which can be very expensive for parents to payfor out-of-pocket. It is not the baby’s fault that he is so large. Pictures showthe 4-month-old on his mother’s lap and he does look like a larger baby, butthe fact of the matter is it is not just his weight; his height is also larger forthat of a baby his age. At 17 pounds, Alex is in the 99th percentile for heightand weight for babies his age. His parents were told insurance companiesdon’t take babies above the 95th percentile, no matter how healthy.
It just seems like the baby is too young to really determine if he is highrisk for an insurance company to take on. He hasn’t even started to crawlyet, so there is really no way to control his weight. There is really nothinganyone can do for him until he does start to become active and eat solidfood. His parents can then have the baby exercise by walking, runningand crawling and also control what he eats. This is just another exampleof how the health insurance system is messed up. The fact that they eventhought about prematurely denying a baby that hasn’t even had a chanceto live long enough to make unhealthy life choices is troubling. They haveto decide what is important, making money or helping people.
“They’re just such a hassle. The worst thing is being one of the first people to not be able to fit on the bus.”
Michael Bruno, Livingston Campus Council external vice president, on overcrowded University buses

Zero stupidity tolerance
E ver since terrible school shootings like Columbine andVirginia Tech, schools are taking precautions to really monitorwhat students are bringing into their buildings. Many also have
a zero-tolerance weapon policy that suspends any child who brings ina weapon to school. This is a good idea to have, especially when a stu-dent is posing dangers to his or her classmates, but one school inNewark, Del., may have taken it a bit to far. According to The NewYork Times, 6-year-old Zachary Christie was suspended from schooland is facing 45 days in reform school for bringing camping utensils —a fork, knife or spoon — to eat his lunch with. The school officialsdecided that he had violated the zero-tolerance weapon policy, leavingmany wondering how far people will take the weapon policies.
The school officials are at fault for using bad judgment. The concernabout weapons in school has blinded them from using common senseand discretion when dealing with students and any possible disciplineproblems they are having with them. Christie was excited about joiningthe Boy Scouts and was just trying to eat lunch with his new “toy,” whichwas his camping utensil. Eating lunch with a fork does not constitute asa reason to suspect a child of having a weapon. People are so focused onlittle things that may be a problem, they lose the ability to see thingsoccurring right in front of their face.
Christie should have been pulled into the principal’s office and askedabout the tool he brought to school. When he explained what the pur-pose of the utensil was, the principal or whoever was talking to Christieshould have simply confiscated the item and given it back to him at theend of the day, or had a parent come pick it up. It is irresponsible to justdecide on the spot that this kid was a danger to the school and his class-mates. Yes, you have to be careful, but at the same time teachers shoulduse discretion when they are going to punish a child severely.
The 2005-2006 school year had an 86 percent rating of at least oneviolent crime, theft or other crime occurring, according to the article.Caution must be executed carefully, but also responsibly. If you punishone, you must punish them all. There is a difference between a childwho is bringing in a switch blade or pocket knife to school, and a childwho is trying to eat his lunch with a spork-like object.

Just as the team sought togive Savage one last tune-upbefore Pittburgh Friday night,the open tryouts for the thirdwide receiver position contin-ued.
Freshman Mark Harrisonsaw his most action, classmateQuron Pratt made his debut andsenior Julian Hayes made hislargest impact.
Hayes’ second quar terreception was the first catch bya wideout not named TimBrown or Mohamed Sanusince Hayes pulled in a passagainst Cincinnati.
Hayes added a second catchlater in the game and Pratt pulledin a 14-yard pass from Natale.

“If you look at it, everybody,except Tim Brown, in the passinggame is an inexperienced player,”Schiano said. “We have to get itprecise because imprecisionleads to turnovers. Imprecisionleads to incomplete passes.”
Despite the inexperience, theSavage-led offense has yet tocommit a turnover.
Savage, who knocked on hiswooden locker when discussinghis interception-free collegecareer after Saturday’s game, istaking care of the ball while hisdefense repeatedly gives it backto him. The Knights are first inthe Big East and second in thenation with their plus-12turnover margin.
“It is critical,” Schiano said.“The [turnover] margin is thekey stat as far as the footballteam goes. Every year you lookup at teams that are rankedhigh in turnover margin, theyare usually having a prettygood season.”
able to do more technical stuff inthe air,” Saunders said. “We feedoff of each other. We have knowneach other since high school andwe get along so well.”
Saunders is both the divingcaptain and a cap-tain of the entireswimming and div-ing team. Sheleads by exampleby helping notonly the divers butalso the youngerswimmers too,Woodruff said.
The synergybetween diversand swimmers issomething that israre around thecountr y butstrong at Rutgers, he said.
“I have been coaching heresince the fall of 1993. I thinkone of the best things about thisteam is the fact that we are not
divers and swimmers, we areone team. And believe me, thatis not the norm around thecountry,” Woodruff said.
Head coach Chuck Warneralso realizes the importance of
both groups com-ing together asone team.
“Both sportstrain separately inthe pool so youcan see how thedivers would feelapart from thes w i m m e r s , ”Warner said. “Butwe have a veryclose team andeveryone interactswith one another.”
For Saunders,it is the element of respect thatmakes both groups cometogether to understand and helpone another.
“We both respect each as twodifferent sports but we are one
team,” Saunders said. “Theyknow they can come to one of usabout anything. I may know noth-ing about swimming but it stillgets me excited when they dosomething good.”
Saunders believes that thenew divers will be able to carrythe team once she is gone.
“They are very responsiblegirls, which is great,” she said. “Alot of times you bring in fresh-man that just don’t care and theydo what they want, but that is notthe case. I think when Jen and Igraduate they will be able to pass[the responsibilities] on fromclass to class.”
When Saunders graduates, RUnot only loses a record holder, butalso a prominent leader for theentire team.
Those are going to be sometough shoes to fill.
“Erin is by far the best womandiver we have ever had,”Woodruff said. “To replace Erin isgoing to be hard to do.”

T he Rutgers women’s soc-cer team retains its num-ber 10 spot in the
National Soccer CoachesAssociation of America poll aftersplitting the weekend with a lossagainst No. 8 Notre Dame and anovertime victory against DePaul.
The No. 10 ranking is theScarlet Knights’ highest rankingin program history.
The Knights climbed up from a13th place ranking after a Sept. 25-27 series, where the team defeatedGeorgetown and drew Villanova.
The No. 10 spot was retainedafter a convincing overtime victoryover DePaul with a free-kick from30-yards out in the 94th minute.
The game itself was a trial forthe team after suffering a loss ofjunior forward Ashley Jones,who was taken off the field in anambulance in the 23rd minuteagainst the Blue Demons.
THE PHILADELPHIAPhillies take on the Los AngelesDodgers at 8:07 p.m. tomorrowat Dodger Stadium in game oneof the National LeagueChampionship Series. Theseries is a rematch of last year’sNLCS. Cole Hamels and RandyWolf pitch game one.
After losing running backsLeSean McCoy and LaRodStephens-Howling to the NFLDraft, Pittsburgh was supposedto be lacking in the running gamefor the upcoming season.
But freshmen Dion Lewis andRay Graham have done nothing
but impress for Pittsburgh headcoach Dave Wannstedt’sPanthers, combining for 914yards and 10 touchdowns.
“The guy that’s doing thescout team, [sophomore]Tyrone Putman, is very elusiveas well,” Rutgers head coachGreg Schiano said. “He’s try-
ing to do what they do becauseboth of them really do it well.The thing is when you havetwo good backs like that, likewe do, like they do, you keepthem fresh so the guy’s notgoing to be gassed. And it’smore important when they’refreshmen, because you getgassed a little easier whenyou’re a freshman probably.”
Redshirt freshman quarter-back Steve Shimko had to leavepractice early yesterday afteran injur y. Schiano does notknow what happened yet to the Ewing, N.J., native, but it could pose a problembecause Shimko is the scoutteam quarterback.
“He’s done such a good job,”Schiano said. “It’s not just whofills in here, but who fills in as thefourth quarterback.”
Schiano revealed yesterday atpractice that the reason redshirtfreshman Keith Stroud has notplayed is a medical concern.
“Stroud has a little issue med-ically,” Schiano said. “He can’tplay yet.”

“He’s really good and thecoaches are comparing him toKenny last year, so, to us, thatmeans he’s really good.”
With his play since becoming astarter, Rowe has impressed sen-ior cornerback Devin McCourty.
“He’s just such a cool guy,”the team captain said. “He’salways confident and calm.”
At this juncture in the sea-son, Rowe has 12 tackles to goalong with two hits on the quar-terback; two pass breakups andhis 56-yard interception returnfor a touchdown.
But it wasn’t always smoothsailing for Rowe at cornerback.As a true freshman, he did notplay any cornerback on the out-side. Rowe played in the nickelposition, covering slot receiversand tight ends.
Rowe put in the work over thesummer to make the transition,however, and his playing timespeaks for itself.

Scout team quarterback Steve Shimko (12) was injured in yester-day’s practice while simulating Pittsburgh starter Bill Stull.
Stull’s game-tying touchdown,a 27-yard pass to roommateDorin Dickerson, was followedby a two-point conversion pass toCedric McGee.
The Panthers could not con-vert opportunities in the begin-ning of the game — somethingthe Huskies (3-2, 0-1) took advan-tage of.
Connecticut’s quarterbackCody Endres threw 197 yards forone touchdown and no intercep-tions, and was complimented by aground game that picked up 138yards of its own.

Point guard-turned-Syracusequarterback Greg Paulus waspulled out of the game for back-up Ryan Nassib at the half aftera poor performance of 30 pass-ing yards on 5-for-9 passing andan interception on his secondpass attempt.
But the damage had alreadybeen done — the Mountaineersheld a 27-0 lead coming into thethird quarter.
Noel Devine caught an 11-yard touchdown pass, andrushed four yards for anotherscore. Ryan Clarke provided twomore touchdowns on short runsof one and three yards.
West Virginia quarterbackJarrett Brown enjoyed a produc-tive game, throwing 22-for-30 for244 yards and a touchdown, 179of which came in the first half.
LOUISVILLE NOTCHED ITSsecond win of the seasonSaturday against SouthernMississippi in a 25-23 comebackvictory.
Cardinal quarterback AdamFroman threw for 248 yards, atouchdown and an interceptionon 16-for-29 passing, including a92-yard bomb to Scott Long.
Long had a career-high day inreceiving, racking up 146 receiv-ing yards and the only receivingtouchdown of the game.

SAVAGE READY FOR FIRST TESTBY STEVEN MILLER
CORRESPONDENT
Tom Savage and the wideouts might not realize it,but they are in a tight competition with the Rutgersfootball team’s defense.
Five games into the season, the defense scored asmany points as the offense cre-ated through the passing game.
While it is certainly a credit to the defense, whosefour scores gives new meaning to their “swarm theball” motto, it is not an indictment of the true fresh-man quarterback.
Savage has yet to be asked to light up the scoreboard.“My goal is not to lose the game,” Savage said. “The
ball is the biggest part of the offense, and we have allthe talent in the world. Everything is there, so it’s actu-ally pretty easy for me just to make the throws and trynot to force everything.”
The Scarlet Knights’ backfield duo — which truefreshman De’Antwan “Rocket” Williams hopes tomake a trio — takes a load of pressure off Savage.
The group can lay claim to 10 touchdowns.Sophomore tailback Joe Martinek has scored fivetimes, classmate Jourdan Brooks has four touchdownsand Williams, the Woodbridge, Va., native, found theend zone once.
Although they were slow out of the gates, limited inopportunity due to the team’s deficit againstCincinnati, the group found its rhythm soon after.
In each of the past four games, a tailback broke thecentury mark rushing.
Martinek was the first back to run for 100 yards inconsecutive games since Ray Rice played his last twogames, and Williams was the first player since Rice torush for 100 yards as a freshman.
The rushing attack that was expected to carry theoffense has done just that.
“Our offense is run-based right now,” Savage said.“We have two or three of the best running backs, andright now it’s going well. They’re doing awesome andwe just have to get the passing game together.”
The Texas Southern matchup was the best oppor-tunity for Savage and the Knights to do that.
After using the run game as a crutch in the rain-soaked Maryland game with senior Dom Natale undercenter, there was a concerted effort for a balancedattack last weekend.
At College Park, Md., RU called for 15 passes and46 runs. Saturday, the ratio was 27 called pass plays to36 rushes.
“We wanted to get Tom as much action as we couldbefore we took him out,” head coach Greg Schianosaid. “There is never enough [experience]. I thinkwhat we have to do is make sure we put him in situa- BRYAN ANGELES/ SENIOR STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER

Rowe amped for tough foein Panthers WR Baldwin
BY SAM HELLMANASSOCIATE SPORTS EDITOR
David Rowe’s only regret from the 42-0 shutout of Texas Southern is that his
mother wasn’tthere to see it.
That is why Rowe is so excited aboutFriday night’s matchup againstPittsburgh — his mother is making thetrip north from Cocoa, Fla., to see himplay for only the second time this sea-son — and Rowe wants it to be a memo-rable visit.
“I would probably say it’s more excit-ing because my mom’s coming up forthe game,” the sophomore cornerbacksaid. “I always get excited when shecomes up, so it’s going to be a reallyexciting night.”
His mother missed Rowe’s elite per-formance last week when he took aninterception back for a touchdownagainst the Tigers.
Both were career firsts for Rowe,starting in only his third career game.
“We’re sitting in the zone and I wasplaying the flat and I just read thequarterback the whole way and assoon as I caught it and I looked to theleft and saw a lot of blockers [I] justfollowed them and they led me into the end zone,” Rowe said. “It cer-tainly helps my confidence. It helps forthe whole defense when we get a score.”
The last time Rowe’s mother attend-ed a game, he made his first careerstart against Florida International,replacing a struggling junior BrandonBing at the position.
This time, Rowe gets the chance toface off against, what he says, is a receiv-er that reminds him of former ScarletKnights great Kenny Britt.
“They have big, tall, speedyreceivers,” Rowe said. “All of them arevery good so we have our hands full.This year I have a chance to go against[sophomore wide receiver JonathanBaldwin] and that’s pretty exciting.
