Rutgers Day brings in thousands to campus-wide eventSTAFF REPORT

In just its second year, Rutgers Daykicked off Saturday with everything fromeducational activities to cultural perform-ances and all types of festivities for childrenand adults.

Rutgers Day launched last year to pro-mote the University’s five dynamic campus-es and also bring together people fromaround the area.

The day drew about 75,000 people intothe more than 100 programs that lookedinto the University’s past, present andfuture. The program was free and open tothe public.

While only in its second year, this year’sRutgers Day was different from last year.Not only did it include Livingston campus,which was closed down for Rutgers Day lastyear due to construction, but it also gave vis-itors a sneak peek at the University’s futureplans for the campus.

Rutgers Day served as a day for not onlyprospective students to explore the campus,but for New Jersey residents to explorewhat their state university has to offer. Fromcultural cuisine and dances to career exposand student-grown plant sales, writers fromThe Daily Targum take a look at what eachcampus had to offer this weekend.

Dancers from Ballet Folklorico Peru, a local, traditional Peruvian dance troupe,performed Saturday for visitors at the 36th annual New Jersey Folk Festival.

STAFF WRITER

With massive cuts in statefunding looming, Universityofficials are looking to alterna-tive revenue sources to helpalleviate the pain.

University President RichardL. McCormick said the school isworking on everything fromenhancing its online and hybridclass program to concerts atRutgers Stadium to make up forGov. Chris Christie’s proposed

$46.6 million cut in state fundingfor the school.

“The future of the Universitycritically depends upon non-state appropriated revenues,”McCormick said.

Online education, off-cam-pus education, hybrid courses,executive education and contin-uing education are among theacademic areas McCormicksaid the University hopes tocontinue to expand its revenue.

McCormick said his admin-istration is also looking to

enlarge the enrollment of out-of-state and international stu-dents from 10 to 18 percent, amove that will improve stu-dents’ educational experiencewhile also generating more rev-enue for the University.

“Students from out of stateand from out of the country paymore money, and they helpsubsidize the education of NewJersey students,” he said.“They increase the diversity

Folk festival exhibitsAndean, local culture

BY MARY DIDUCHMANAGING EDITOR

Andean and local cultures mergedSaturday on the Wood Lawn of theEagleton Institute of Politics onDouglass campus for the 36th annual NJFolk Festival, themed “The Andes.”

About 10,000 people of all agescame out to hear sounds fromPeruvian musicians, learn to make tra-ditional crafts and watch the colorfulcostumes and dancing of traditionalPeru, as well as take part in the cultureof local New Jersey.

For one local couple, the theme hada special significance.

Paula and Adam Padavano come tothe festival often but found the Andeantheme especially touching, as PaulaPadavano, born to American parents,

lived in Bolivia until she was 13. Shesaid Bolivian and Peruvian cultures arevery similar.

When one local Peruvian traditionaldance troupe, Ballet Folklorico Peru,performed their first stomp and twist-heavy dance in festive, maroon and sil-ver-ruffled costumes, it reminded PaulaPadavano of her time in Bolivia.

“I heard [that song in Bolivia] onthe bus all the time, and I hated it. Butnow it’s really emotional,” PaulaPadavano said.

NJ Folk Festival Media CoordinatorKurt Utenwoldt said New Jersey is avery diverse state. The festival’s boardtypically chooses a theme to represent alarge population in the state, such asindigenous South Americans.

The 12-session program, created by the Rutgers Center forManagement Development, was originally meant to be online.But the CMD found the incorporation of the iPad, with thedirect interaction of professionals in a classroom setting, to bea better method, according to the release.

CMD faculty member Eric Greenberg said the mini-MBAprogram is a great way to introduce the professionals to thenewest marketing technology.

“The Digital Marketing Mini-MBA is a perfect course topilot since it is designed for marketers who have an interest inlearning and exploring the latest digital technologies,”Greenberg said in the release.

The mini-MBA program will provide lecturers from bothUniversity faculty and practitioners from around the world.The program looks to increase professionals’ knowledge onsuch topics as understanding the new digital customer andsocial media marketing, according to the release.

The base-version iPads will come with all required read-ing materials and will be customized for professionals inthe program.

“We are hoping that both faculty and students will discovernew ways to use the iPad during the program,” Greenberg saidin the release.

NEW PROGRAM INTEGRATES I-PAD INTO CLASSROOM

Students showcase research at annual symposiumBY ANDREW SMITH

CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Students from various aca-demic disciplines presentedtheir original research and stud-ies Friday at the Sixth AnnualUniversity-wide UndergraduateResearch Symposium.

The symposium, hosted bythe Aresty Research Center forUndergraduates, showcasedmore than 400 posters and 50individual panel discussions onthe students’ findings.

The panel discussions, heldin the Rutgers Student Centeron the College Avenue cam-pus, featured students involvedin field-specific research,including ethnicity, politics,sexuality, art, education, cogni-tive science, literature, war andbiomedical engineering.

Hundreds of students stoodby their posters on the main floorwaiting to present their researchto the symposium’s 30 judges orinterested passersby.

Among the 400 studentswaiting to present were EitanKagedan and KimberlyJohnson, both School of Artsand Sciences sophomores andresearchers in the laboratory ofHolly Smith, a professor of phi-losophy at the University.

Their project focuses on thestudy of ethics and how it can be related to the general population.

“Most ethical theoriesassume a fortunate agent thathas the full capacities to deliber-ate and reach moral decisions,when in reality, there’s only asmall portion of the population

that actually exhibits all thosecapabilities,” Kagedan said.

In discussing their methods,Kagedan and Johnson said theirresearch consisted of two stages.

“The first stage of ourresearch was to develop this[moral] framework,” Johnsonsaid. “The second stage wasdoing psychological research ondevelopmental psychology andvarious disorders to see howthose different agents fit intothis framework.”

In the social sciences,School of Engineering juniorKajal Patel and School of Artsand Sciences senior David Lampresented their research intothe plausibility of green com-

munity centers through thelocal non-profit organizationWho is My Neighbor, Inc.,headed by Executive DirectorJean Stockdale.

“We found that combining sus-tainable technology with commu-nity centers increases the envi-ronmental, economic and socialimpact of the center within thecommunity,” Patel said. “Wefocused on a community centerbecause of its important role inserving local people.”

Lam elaborated further onthe conceptual design of the cen-ter, which would include solarpanels over a pool and othertechniques to maximize its envi-ronmental accommodations.

Aresty Research CenterAdministrative Director JustineHernandez Levine said Friday’ssymposium went very well.

“The students who presenthere really get a feeling of accom-plishment because they’ve beenworking on this thing all year, andnow they see themselves as theexperts,” she said.

Levine said this year’s sympo-sium was the largest yet and hasgrown every year since its debutin 2004, in conjunction with thefounding of the center.

She said prior to the existenceof the Aresty Research Centersuch opportunities existed butwere sporadic and limited to thenatural and physical sciences.

With the existence of theresearch center, investigationinto humanities became availableand the overall ease of researchinvolvement increased, she said.

“We made undergraduateresearch a little bit more accessi-ble and transparent,” Levine said.

Students were pleased withthe Aresty Research Center’s pro-grams and with the opportunityto get involved.

“Aresty is a great opportunityfor you to gain research skills aswell as experience for thefuture,” Lam said. “It reallyopens doors for you from a self-improvement standpoint andallows you to connect with a lotof different people.”

The big stage, set up in thefield next to Passion Puddle,featured a diverse number ofacts throughout the day. TheMiddle Eastern Belly DanceTroupe kicked per formancesoff in the morning, while NewBrunswick band Sara Live wind-ed down the day.

Vendors and tents lined RedOak Lane, where visitorsgrabbed a bite to eat, took a closelook at sea creatures or broughthome a plant grown byUniversity students.

Like a few other organizations,the Department of Plant Biologyand Pathology sold plants tendedin the Floriculture Greenhouse inorder to support the teaching atthe greenhouses.

“Since January and February,we started getting plants togetherand clearing out space to keepthem,” said Emily Cordes, a work-er in the greenhouse.

People arrived as early as 9a.m. to get their hands on theplants they wanted, said Cordes, aCook College senior.

“I think its much more fun thisyear. I’m seeing a lot more peoplethan I’m used to. It’s a beautifulday out,” she said.

As people drifted down towardCollege Farm Road, past the FoodScience building, they met withmore animal-related activities.

All New Jersey 4-H dogclubs came together on SkelleyField to par ticipate in astatewide competition.

“This is our first year that ourclub has been asked to runthis,” said Jonathan Clemmons,leader of the K-9 Frenzy Clubout of Sussex County. “We were

here last year just as competi-tors … but they asked our clubto actually organize the eventand run it.”

The Veterinary Science Clubalso opened their doors to thecommunity by hosting a pettingzoo that allowed children tofeed cheerios to young goatsand lambs.

“I like the excitement of thekids. A lot of them have a lot offun when they’re here,” saidNathalie Sanchez, a Cook Collegesenior and club member. “Theirparents especially like it.”

Livingston campus

The campus celebrated itsfirst-ever Rutgers Day featuringtwo main activity areas showcas-ing the Asian Cultural Centerand the World of Work expo,while also celebrating itsprogress and the future plans toexpand and become more acces-sible for students.

One of the main activities was avirtual tour of the future of thecampus through “Second Life,” avirtual world where people con-nected and created their ownavatars, students and parents.Participants virtually walkedthrough and toured theUniversity’s vision for the campus.

The virtual tour allowed peo-ple to see the new dining hall,which is still being built. It alsoshowcased plans for three newresidence halls, a new businessschool building and a continuingeducation building.

Rick Anderson, a ContinuingStudies’ Information projectmanager on the team that helpeddesign “Second Life,” said one ofthe best features of this virtualtour was it allowed people tointeract and socialize.

“By using ‘Second Life,’ weare able to allow any individual togo walking around with groupsof people and talk about it withtheir friends or business part-ners,” Anderson said. “You canactually have a social gatheringin the new campus years beforeit’s actually built.”

This virtual tour also drewUniversity President Richard L.McCormick’s attention.

“We want to represent NewJersey and the world. It’s not justabout picking a group that’s inter-esting — they have to representthe state,” said Utenwoldt, a Schoolof Arts and Sciences sophomore.

The Peruvian theme pervadedunder the Heritage Tent, wherethe Abya Yala, an Andean culturalgroup representing that Peruviantribe, demonstrated the makingof ocarinas, or clay whistles.

Patricia Aranibar, wearing atraditional, pre-Colombian Incanprincess outfit, taught young chil-dren the art, which requires coax-ing the sound of the clay using theelements of fire, water, air, earthand the human hand, she said.

“They are wind instruments.They have ancient sounds,” saidAranibar, who lived in Peru whenshe was very young but now livesin New York as a potter.

She said everyone could enjoythe art of whistle-making, as it isfairly easy to do.

“Whistle-making is true tomost cultures because of the sim-plicity of it,” Aranibar said.

The group also displayed tra-ditional, handmade Peruvianretablos, or small altar pieces thatresemble colorful, miniaturearmoires. Inside are carved, intri-cate, three-dimensional depic-tions of everyday life.

member Teresa Castro. Now,they feature musicians, food,flowers and masks.

“Masks are something thatare used in all the communitiesaround the world,” Castro said.

But the festival did not only fea-ture South American traditions.

School of Management andLabor Relations graduate studentLi Zhao found a special attach-ment in the festival, as she isgraduating this May and movingto Florida.

“It’s not like [the festival is]every day, so we cherish our timehere,” said Zhao, an internationalstudent from China.

The festival also showcasedmusicians and crafters fromneighboring states.

Rebecca Pronsky, a Brooklyn-based singer-songwriter per-forming with guitarist RichBennet, came to the festival toperform her indie/alternativecountry music from her album“The Best Game in Town,” onthe Shore stage, set up specifi-cally for jam sessions and up-and-coming artists.

Pronsky, who started writingmusic in college and has beentouring for the past five years, saidespecially with the day’s beautiful,sunny, cloud-free weather, the fes-tival is underrated.

“It seems like a really neatevent with a lot of diverse people,”she said, while wearing green,cat-eyed bespeckled eyeglasses.

Sister jewelry-making duoSumaiya and Jameelia Abdullahof M&M Links traveled fromAmherst, Mass. to display theirAfrican-inspired jewelry, which

contained wood, silver, bone andenamel pieces.

“We took a trip to Zimbabwe in2004 and we got inspired by howthe women do their beadwork,”Sumaiya Abdullah said.

She said the sisters make alltheir jewelry by hand with theirmother, and the pieces can takeas little as a few minutes and up toseveral hours to create.

The sisters were just one of 75vendors who brought their creative,handmade creations to the festival.

“All the craft vendors are tradi-tional. It has some heart and soulput into it,” Utenwoldt said.

The festival this year alsoshowed off the work of the 14students in Professor AngusGillespies’ American Studiesclass that organizes the festivalevery year.

“But the class is so much moreof an organization to set up thisevent,” Utenwoldt said.

It is half a business internship,where each student acts as a spe-cialized coordinator, he said.

The advisers, which includefestival director Erin Clarke, analumnus who has worked withthe festival for about 10 years,provide the students with their

expertise and emotional support,he said.

“I can’t even explain how manytimes and how many ways they’vehelped me,” Utenwoldt said.

While this is Utenwoldt’s firsttime in the class, he said studentscan not retake it for credit. Butthey are encouraged to sign upfor it again to learn a differentcoordinator position.

Utenwoldt said his experienceplanning the festival was hecticbut worth it.

“Favorite thing about theevent?” Utenwoldt said. “Seeingthe smiles on people’s faces.”

RUSA debate to open new platform BY DEVIN SIKORSKIASSOCIATE NEWS EDITOR

The Rutgers UniversityStudent Assembly will hold itspresidential debate tonight atthe Eagleton Institute ofPolitics, allowing each candi-date to voice his platforms toboth the student body and the public.

Elections Committee ChairBen West said he is anticipatinga successful debate that will pro-vide an opportunity for each can-didate to show what he has tooffer for student government.

“It’s going to cover a widerange of topics, including theorganizational structure ofRUSA, issues in the Rutgerscommunity and individualpieces of each candidate’s plat-form,” said West, a RutgersCollege senior.

He said the debate will besplit into five-minute segmentswhere both the moderator andthe public will ask the candi-dates questions.

“Each candidate will havetwo minutes to respond todirect questions and after that,there will be two, one-minuterebuttals for the other two can-didates,” he said. “Finally,there will be a 30-second fol-low-up for the first candidate to respond.”

The presidential candidatesfor the 2010 RUSA electioninclude Yousef Saleh, SamFirmin and John Aspray. Eachcandidate voiced their excite-ment for the debate and provid-ed reasons for why they wouldmake the most effective leaderin student government.

Saleh, a School of Arts andSciences junior, said he is confi-dent in his platform and willshow students he will listen to their opinions and issues.

“I want to fight on behalf ofthe students … [and] I will dowhatever is right on the behalfof the student body, whether itagrees or disagrees with theadministration,” he said. “I amsomeone who will go down toTrenton to fight for students.”

Saleh said he is the mostexperienced candidate and willmake RUSA more transparentand ef ficient under his presidency.

“We need a strong and expe-rienced student leader who cantread carefully into this newconstitution and new reorgani-zation of RUSA,” he said. “I feelas though I can carefully andefficiently lead RUSA into thenext decade.”

Firmin, a School ofEnvironmental and BiologicalSciences sophomore, said he isalso confident with his cam-paign, which he will show atthe debate.

“My competition seems pret-ty tough but at the same time, Iknow I’m going to be able tohold my own,” he said. “I’mgoing to be able to express myideas in a way that the Rutgersstudents are really going toaccept and like.”

Firmin said his platformlooks to increase the voice ofthe student body and bringthose issues to the attention ofUniversity administrators.

“Right now, Rutgers is in atumultuous situation when itcomes to budgeting, traditionsand other things,” he said. “Myplatform is to increase aware-ness on these issues for stu-dents and help them voicetheir opinions on what theywould like.”

Aspray, a School of Arts andSciences junior, said he feels hiscampaign has broad support,something he said will help to winthe election.

“We have a pretty good opera-tion going on with the campaign-ing,” he said. “You can do well atthe debate, but you still need thevotes to win it. So the debate isjust part of it.”

Aspray’s ticket includes 31 stu-dents campaigning for differentpositions on RUSA, but all withthe same mission.

“Our platform is to bring aunited theme for the studentassembly. The other candidatestalk about their grand plans, butno man is an island,” he said.“To say you are going to dosomething and be only one per-son isn’t enough to actuallyaccomplish it.”

Campaigning, which kickedoff at the mandatory electioninformation session, includessocial networking sites, blogs,advertisement in campus mediaand flyering.

With each candidate cam-paigning feverously through fly-ers over the past week, Firminsaid the debate gives a differentmedium through which thepresidential candidates canreach the student body.

“The debate provides a timewhere we can speak directly toour audience instead of havinginformation floating throughthe Web or circulating on flyersthroughout campus,” he said.“The debate is really going toput a face to the name.”

“The debate provides a timewhere we can speak directly

to our audience ...”SAM FIRMIN

and quality of our student body,and they increase the bottomline too.”

The University will also workto support its faculty in raisingmore money to support theirresearch, McCormick said.

Faculty last year brought innearly $400 million in researchgrants. The president hopesthis year’s figure will jump to$450 million.

“Of course, those grants aretargeted … but it is really impor-tant to our best faculty to bedoing that research,” he said.

In addition, the RutgersFoundation will be embarking onthe public phase of a $1 billionfundraising campaign on October13 with a party at the New JerseyPerforming Arts Center inNewark, McCormick said.

Projects like the Livingstonsolar panels, which provide 10percent of the electrical needs ofLivingston campus, can also beused to increase University rev-enue by cutting back on energycosts, said Antonio Calcado, vicepresident of Facilities andCapital Planning.

“It does return a good amountof money to the University’s[budget],” Calcado said.

Through the state’s clean airinitiative, New Jersey power com-panies are required to produce acertain amount of green power, hesaid. Because many of these com-panies are not able to do so, theybuy credits from the University.

“Those credits and the ener-gy we save will pay off thatsolar farm within five years,”Calcado said.

On the athletics side,McCormick said the Universityis continuing to look into hostingnon-athletics events like con-certs at Rutgers Stadium and theLouis Brown Athletic Center, aswell as selling naming rights toRutgers Stadium.

“We are always looking at uti-lizing our athletics facilities as away to create more communityevents and to drive new revenueto athletics,” Athletic DirectorTim Pernetti said in a statement.

Jason Baum, assistant athleticdirector for communications,said via e-mail correspondencethat no specific dates or artistshave been discussed for potentialconcerts, but the department hasmet with various concert consult-ants on an informal basis.

Concerts and non-athleticevents would not be new to theUniversity’s sports venues.Rutgers Stadium has hostedband competitions, New Jerseyhigh school football games and avisit from the Dalai Lama in2005, while the RAC has hostedconcerts ranging from a per-formance by the Grateful Deadin 1981 and a more recentChristian rock concert in 2008featuring Switchfoot.

Other than scheduling con-flicts, Baum said the AthleticsDepartment has no immediateconcerns regarding concerts atRutgers Stadium, and potentialprofit figures from concerts havenot yet been determined.

“We put $102 million intoexpanding the stadium, it reallyought to be used more than sixtimes a year or seven times ayear,” McCormick said of possi-ble stadium concerts. “It wouldbe great for the students and themorale and camaraderie of thecommunity, and it would bring insome money.”

Tonight’s debate will giveyou an additional opportuni-ty to learn more about eachcandidate. The debate willcover a wide range of topics,including the organizationalstructure of RUSA, issues inthe University communityand pieces of each candi-date’s platform. The specific

subjects and questions were formulated by me andhave not been shared with or cleared with anybodyon the campaign or in the media. This means thateach question will give you an uninhibited view of thebeliefs, experiences and plans of each candidate.

As final exams, papers and projects draw near, thefuture of student government at RUSA may simply notbe on your mind. The opportunity to watch an invigor-ating debate against three exceptional student leadersmay seem completely unimportant, and the chance foryou to ask your own questions may not be your first pri-ority. While I could attempt to bribe you with the deli-cious cake and coffee that will be served immediatelyafter the debate, I will refrain from doing so.

Instead, let me remind you that foryear after year over the course of overa decade, state aid to the Universityhas gone down while our term bill hasgone up. While I love the Universitywith all of my heart and appreciate theunimaginable opportunities that shehas given me, I must remind you thatstadiums have undergone multimil-lion-dollar Renaissances while aca-

demic and residential buildings — still home toasbestos from the 1950s — have rotted and deterio-rated to the point that visitors would be well-justifiedin thinking that the River Dorms on the CollegeAvenue campus were housing projects and HickmanHall on Douglass campus is an abandoned asylum forthe insane. Students have been herded off into far-away hotels every night for the course of an entireacademic year while grandiose welcome centers havebeen built. A corrupt and sleazy city governmentwhose only concern is to remain in power for an addi-tional 30 years has effectively silenced University stu-dents. Promises such as The Greening Project onCollege Avenue has not been delivered, and in theirstead students are told that they will receive a few ren-ovated bus stops. Commencement has been alteredfrom an intimate tradition that takes place in a beauti-fully wooded lawn with peers who have shared a com-mon experience to an assembly-line process in anewly finished stadium that lacks the a true sense ofUniversity history, spirit and tradition.

W here will you beat 7 p.m? A betterquestion is

where should you be, and Ibelieve that I may have theanswer. The candidates whoare vying for the position ofRutgers University StudentAssembly president will faceoff today, at 7 p.m. in theEagleton Institute of Politics on the Douglass cam-pus in the University’s first-ever presidential debate.This event will be broadcasted live on RU-TV chan-nel 60 and by WRSU. At stake for School of Arts andSciences junior Yousef Saleh, School ofEnvironmental and Biological Sciences sophomoreSam Firmin and School of Arts and Science juniorJohn Aspray is the office of president. In the balancelies the future of the University community during amost troubling time.

We stand in the midst of annual budget cuts fromTrenton, reduced access to services from OldQueens, difficulty securing fair housing off-campus,difficulty securing any housing on-campus and theloss of sacred traditions everywhere.It goes without saying that yourchoice for president matters duringthis critical point in University histo-ry. Your decision will influencewhether the University continues toexperience the RU Screw year afteryear as our government in Trentoncontinues to cut millions of dollarsfrom higher education. Your decisionwill determine whether student government caninfluence the priorities of the University administra-tion that embarks on multimillion-dollar expansionsof football and basketball stadiums, while leavinghundreds of its students without housing year afteryear. In short, your decision will decide whetheryou have a leader who stands up for you.

In order to determine which candidate will bebest able to stand up for you, you must make aninformed decision in this decisive election. The cam-paign flyers postered up and down College Avenue,the dozens of invitations to campaign groups onFacebook, the awkward posts about RUSA onIsawyourutgers.com — yes, they actually exist —and the endorsements of the likes of RutgersCollege seniors Eric Knecht and Brian Canares andRed Bandanna Kid are not enough to help you makean informed and independent decision. For you to beable to do that, you should visit the campaign web-sites of the three contenders for president:

STORY ON FRONT

QUOTE OF THE DAY

“... you must makean informed

decision in thisdecisive election.”

W hen President Barack Obama was a candidate he promisedmultiple times he would call the 95-year-old massacre ofArmenians in Turkey genocide. Obama has already twice

refused or avoided doing that. He ran his campaign so fervently underthe motto of “change” and with the underlying promise of honesty, yetwe have seen none of that when it comes to the mass killings of 1.5 mil-lion Armenians during World War I. We wish he would stand behindwhat he promised whatever the issue may be.

According to The Associated Press, Obama called the killing “one of theworst atrocities” of the 20th century and “a devastating chapter” in history,yet never genocide. The problem is that Obama has been attacked from allcorners. The Turkish foreign minister called his remarks “unacceptable,”and some activists took issue even with the president’s tone in marking the95th anniversary of the slaughter of Armenians by Ottoman Turks.

Obama’s failure to satisfy every single point of view and criticism isnot an excuse for a two-sided take on things. He must stand up and —just as the Rwandan genocide and the Holocaust were admitted to bemass ethnic cleansings — should take a stance. It is pathetic that our head-of-state must turn his back on his words andchange his opinion on something that is this historically factual. Hisattempts to please all sides, although widely inexistent in the recenthealth care reform, should not be factors in this moral decision.

It is “a devastating chapter in the history of the Armenian people, andwe must keep its memory alive in honor of those who were murdered andso that we do not repeat the grave mistakes of the past,” Obama said in arecent statement. Yet for a second year as president, he has intentionallyavoided calling it genocide. Instead, Obama used an Armenian word —Meds Yeghern — to describe the first mass killing of the 20th century.

Despite criticisms from all sides, we want to see a decision based onan upstanding, moral commitment to international history, rather thanany political influences. Turkey’s ever-developing integration in worldpolitics and friendship with the United States may falter. Yet Obamamust take a stand without politicizing an issue that affected millions ofrefugees from the Balkans, Eastern Turkey and the Caucasus. Turkeymay deny that the massacres were genocide, yet the U.S. needs tostand for the morals that it has so widely kept in years past.

Dirty politiciansdeserve no spotlightI t may be a little too late to address the situation in which former

Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich stands, yet with his recent subpoena ofPresident Barack Obama, he is back in the spotlight. The two-term

Democrat who rose from the ranks of Chicago ward politics through fam-ily connections was charged on April 2, 2009, with 16 felonies, includingracketeering conspiracy, wire fraud, extortion conspiracy and makingfalse statements. The embarrassing part of this debacle is thatBlagojevich, following this wide spectrum of charges, made an even big-ger name for himself through TV shows and even his own radio program.

The man whose impeachment trial only lasted a week used thisnegative image and publicity to appear on “The Celebrity Apprentice.”On the fourth episode of the season, he even took the reigns andbecame “project manager” on Donald Trump’s reality TV show. Sincewhen is Blagojevich a celebrity? Most would consider impeachmentand a federal trial negative publicity, yet in his case, the former gover-nor has made a joke of those paying attention. On “The Apprentice,”he even joked about hearing “you’re fired” — in a commercial, beforebeing eliminated, Blagojevich said, “What, you’re fired? Yeah, I’veheard that before.”

It is simple — we have become accustomed to being made fools of.Blagojevich is one of many negatively recognized TV or radio characterswho became popular after a public embarrassment, perhaps in this case,he was not embarrassed enough, as he stayed to entertain America.

It is important to take a real look at the man who has so often appearedon TV not to apologize for betraying the people that elected him, but topocket some more of their money. According to prosecution documents,one of Blagojevich’s main wishes was to leave the governorship and beappointed secretary of health and human services, in exchange for pick-ing Valerie Jarrett, an Obama adviser whom Blagojevich believed the pres-ident wished to see appointed to the post. Blagojevich vehemently deniedthe charges and arrogantly continued to defend his stance. According toThe New York Times, on Jan. 9, 2009, the Illinois House ofRepresentatives voted 114-1 to impeach Blagojevich, after a House panellaid out what they called a rampant pattern of abuse of power.

So the man who has so radically taken advantage of his politicalposition, has continued, to his benefit, to remain in the spotlight.Blagojevich ironically campaigned as a “reformer” in 2002, yet hisappearance on TV and his own radio show lead us to put him in a cat-egory of favoritism, cronyism and corruption with so many of pastpolitical figures. Perhaps we deserve this, as we continue to watchtasteless television and pay attention to the worst of politics.

is going to a good cause, aidingthe Israelis in defending theirhome turf. But having traveled toIsrael, Palestine and the WestBank, I have a slightly different perspective.

In 1948, a Jewish state wascreated from 56 percent ofPalestine with Jerusalem beingan international zone. The UnitedNations was smart enough tounderstand that Jerusalem is notjust the capital of the Jewish faith,but the capital of the Christianand Muslim faiths as well andcould never peaceably be con-trolled by one group. As the bor-ders stand today, Israel has con-trol of more than 78 percent ofwhat was once consideredPalestine, and Jerusalem is divid-

ed by quarters but overrun withIsraeli Police. Unfortunately forthe author of this column, theJewish communities that arebeing developed in Israel aremostly located in the Palestinian

section of the 1948 map, areasthat are now under Israeli con-trol, in spite of the Palestinianpeople. And as far as havingIsrael dismantle communities inthe West Bank — the act would

be more similar to the UnitedStates giving back land stolenfrom the Native American peo-ples, if there were enough ofthem left to give it back to. Mypoint here is that while therehave been many times through-out history that a single peoplehas come close to or been wipedout entirely — the nativeAmericans, the Tibetans, theJews during the Holocaust —there has been someone to standup and at least try to put an endto the atrocities. So why are weAmericans funding a nationwhose $1.5 billion wall is beingconstructed as far as 20 kilome-ters into Palestinian territory,separating villages from crucialpower and clean water sources?

Richard Goldstone, a memberof the Jewish community, wrotean entire report on the atrocitiescommitted by the Israeli military.This report was initially acceptedby the U.N. as valid but noresults came of it. Now, I wouldlike to know, had the author beenin my shoes and searched byIsraeli military forces toutingmachines guns in his face just forbeing in Palestine, would hemaybe have done a little bit moreresearch before blindly shoutingabout Israel’s innocence andneed of support? I think we sup-port them enough.

In response to Thursday’s col-umn, “Stand with Israel forpeace” I would like to make it

known that I wholeheartedly dis-agree with the columnist. TheUnited States and Israel are cur-rently at a crossroads, but maybePresident Barack Obama’sadministration should be lookingfor new allies in the Middle East.Israel is given an average $3 bil-lion of U.S. taxpayer money ayear, making them the singlemost expensive ally in history.Now many would argue that all ofthat money, that could be helpfulto our weak economy right now,

I t is around this time of yearthat many off-campus student-tenants ask me if and how

they can use their security depositmoney to pay their rent. Typically,it is a violation of the lease for a ten-ant to use their security deposit topay their rent. However, a tenantmay use their security deposit topay their rent if the landlord hasviolated certain provisions of theNew Jersey Security Deposit Act.N.J.S.A. 46:8-19.

The act states that the landlordmust do the following within 30days of receiving the tenant’s secu-rity deposit: Put the tenant’s secu-rity deposit in a separate interest-

bearing New Jersey bank account;Inform the tenant in writing of theamount of the deposit; Inform thetenant in writing of the type of theaccount; Provide the tenant withwritten notification of the nameand address of the bank that yourdeposit is being held; and providethe tenant with the current interestrate of that account. Often, thelandlord complies with theserequirements by providing thisinformation in the tenant’s lease.

If the landlord has not providedthe tenant with this information orhas not placed the tenant’s securi-ty deposit in a separate account asrequired by the act, then the ten-ant may use their security depositmoney to pay their rent. If the ten-ant wishes to pursue this option,then the tenant must send a letter

to the landlord via certified mailinforming the landlord that thelandlord has violated the act andthe security deposit money isbeing used toward the rent. A formletter is available on the RutgersOff-Campus Housing Service web-site. Tenants should remember tokeep a copy of their signed letterreceipt for their records.

Tenants should always bemindful, however, that the land-lord may sue the tenancy if the ten-ancy has done excessive damageto the premises and there is notenough security deposit money tocover the cost of those damages.

While Notre Dame woundup outshooting Rutgers 39-25,the Knights limited the amount of quality shots, forcingthe Irish to settle for bad-angle opportunities.

When the shots did getthrough, goalkeeper Lily Kalatawas there to stop them. Thefreshman finished with a career-high 17 saves, with nine comingin the first half alone.

Kalata played one of her mostaggressive games this season inthe cage, venturing out to snareground balls or to try and cut offpasses. The freshman finishedwith six ground balls on the dayand a caused turnover andimproves to 10-4 on the year withthe victory.

Even when the game wentinto extra time, Kalata remainedsolid, snaring a key save andstopping the Irish offense dead inits tracks before Cantwell scoredshortly after to ice the game.

Although Corcoranmade a quick decisionto join the Texans whenhe received the call, tackle KevinHaslam weighed a number of fac-tors before deciding to sign withthe Jacksonville Jaguars.

Sophomore wideout Tim Wright received the Most Improved awardfor the offense at halftime of Saturday’s Scarlet-White game.

I think I have the ability tobreak away and score on that play.”

Martinek accounted for thelone touchdown for the first-teamoffense, finally breaking throughthe defense on a series of threeshort runs that began at the 6-yard line.

The other touchdown on theday came on a 37-yard hookupbetween sophomores SteveShimko and Keith Stroud for theWhite team.

Stroud made a leaping catchover sophomore cornerbackBrandon Jones, to pull in the score,but Jones was responsible for oneShimko’s two interceptions.

Shimko finished the day 9-of-17 for 111 yards and twopicks — one by Jones and another by sophomore safetyWayne Warren.

“Our defense has a philoso-phy that if something happensduring the week in practice, it’sgoing to happen during thegame, whether it’s good orbad,” said Greene, who recovered a fumble for theWhite defense. “We drive ongetting turnovers and trying to score.”

The defense made the playsthat people came to expect of it and the of fense had youngwideouts step up in theabsence of the group’s biggest playmaker.

“This team has a lot of iden-tities,” Greene said. “We have adefense with a lot of talent, wejust have to come in and workit out together. Same thinggoes for our of fense. Once weput it together, things will bespecial around here.”

“Basically I’ve been putting extratime in the offseason in the weightroom, film study and the playbook,”said Wright, who hauled in fourpasses for 40 yards in the team’sfinal spring scrimmage. “I’m tryingto be a leader to the wide receivercorps and trying to be a leader to theteam and different things like that.It’s all paying off for me now.”

Senior defensive tackle CharlieNoonan took home the Frank R.Burns Award, given to the playerwho displays top physical and men-

tal toughness during the spring.Noonan practiced the entire spring,but had surgery Wednesday, forc-ing him to miss the Scarlet-Whitegame. Noonan will be ready for pre-season practice in the summer, saidhead coach Greg Schiano.

“There’s none better on ourfootball team than Charlie,”Schiano said. “Charlie is ourtough guy … he went throughthe whole spring. He wanted towork with coach [Randy] Melvin,his new defensive line coach. Anytechniques he wanted to makesure he could master them.”

The Douglas A. Smith Awardfor the defense’s Most ImprovedPlayer went to sophomore safetyKhaseem Greene.

“I think [Khaseem] has reallyplayed well for us,” Schiano said.“I think he really played like astarter this spring. Certainlythere will be competition comenext fall, but I think he carriedhimself like a first-teamer and heperformed like a first-teamer.That’s great to see.”

SOPHOMORE QUARTER-BACK Tom Savage and seniorsafety Joe Lefeged took to mid-field as captains of the Scarletand White teams, respectively.

Lefeged was limited to non-contact participation during thefinal team scrimmage, fieldingpunts without any coverage.

The coaching staff decided tosit out the Germantown, Md.,native as it does with many estab-lished seniors in the Scarlet-White game. Sophomore wideoutMohamed Sanu also did not par-ticipate in the scrimmage, aftergetting dinged last weekend inthe team’s second scrimmage.

THE FINAL SCRIMMAGE OFthe spring season brought backnumerous former Knights,

including Seattle Seahawks quar-terback Mike Teel.

“I think it makes us real,”said Schiano of former Rutgersplayers’ success in the NFL.“There’s still stuff we have todo well. We’re building a pro-gram here, but I am not asmuch timeline-conscious as oth-ers. As long as we do it the rightway, I’m certain we’re going toget there.”

Loss to ’Nova epitomizes Knights’ disappointing seasonBY KYLE FRANKO

CORRESPONDENT

Rutgers men’s lacrosse coachJim Stagnitta hates to admit it butyesterday’s game againstVillanova summed up his team’s

season.T h e

S c a r l e tKnightss t r u g -gled on

the offensive end, shooting only15 percent and turning the ballover 22 times. It all added up to afrustrating 8-4 loss to No. 9Villanova at Yurcak Field.

“I think there is a little bit offrustration right now,” Stagnittasaid. “We’re just not getting itdone the way that people thinkwe’re capable of getting it done.”

Trailing 4-3 in the second quarterafter a goal by senior GerhardBuehning, the Knights went score-less for a 32:04 stretch whereVillanova seized control of the game.

Matt Bell beat Rutgers goal-keeper Billy Olin three minutesinto the third quarter and WillCasertano gave the Wildcats (9-5,3-1) a 6-3 advantage with 28 sec-onds left in the frame.

Sophomore Kevin Hover pulledthe Knights (5-7, 1-3) within two,breaking the scoring drought, with

his second goal of the game at the4:44 mark in the final quarter.

But Villanova had an immedi-ate answer. A Rutgers turnover inmidfield led to a fast-break goalfor Jack Rice that ended anyhopes of a comeback.

Paul Webber, the Wildcats’leading scorer, added a late insur-ance goal to put the finishingtouches on an important victoryfor ’Nova that keeps it in the thickof the NCAA Tournament hunt.

For Rutgers, which lost for thefifth straight time and finishes April0-5, it was another missed oppotuni-ty to get over the proverbial hump.

“We’ve had a lot of battles thisseason and a lot of the battleswe’ve lost, we feel like wecould’ve won,” said Buehning,who finished with two goals tobring his season total to 21. “It’stough because that’s the way ourwhole season’s kind of been.”

The Knights outshot theWildcats 27-25, but struggled tobeat Villanova goalkeeper BillyHurley who stopped 10 shots.

The ’Cats were able to keep pos-session of the ball in the offensivethird, Rutgers’ 27 shots were eightbelow its season average. Whenthe Knights did get into their offen-sive sets, Villanova harassed JustinPennington, taking Rutgers’ lead-ing scorer out of rhythm.

Pennington managed just twoshots on goal and failed to recordmultiple points for the first timethis season.

The senior did assist on theKnights’ second goal early in thefirst quarter to extend his pointstreak to 21 straight.

“We were trying to do somedifferent things because their[long] pole is a good player,”Pennington said. “I just neverreally got it going offensively.”

Olin made 11 saves for theKnights including a highlight reelstop midway through the thirdquarter when he denied Webberon a nifty no-look shot.

This was the second straightgame that the senior goalierecorded double-digit saves afterposting 14 against Syracuse.

Frustration started to boil overat the end when the Knights pickedup three penalties in the final 2:36.

“We have an athletically talentedgroup, but we turned the ball overin situations where it hurt us,”Stagnitta said. “We had good playon the defensive end against what Iconsider a very good offensiveteam. … This is a snapshot of theseason. We can step out on the fieldevery single day and play competi-tively with anybody. The question iswe haven’t been able to get over thehump and outscore people.”

It is hard to miss BrendanPorter on the field.

The senior midfielder stands6 - f o o t - 4a n d

weighs 215 pounds — a buildmore likely to be found in head football coach Greg Schiano’s secondary.

But Por ter does one of the more thankless jobs in lacrosse.

“Everybody has a role and ajob to do,” said Porter, whoserves as the Scarlet Knights’top short-stick defensive mid-fielder. “My job is a very hum-bling job and I’m not going to bein the paper or the headlinesevery week, but my job is tostop the other team from

scoring and help our offense get going.

“At the end of the day if I’vecompleted my job, I don’t needthe accolades that everybodyelse gets.”

Porter is part of a seniorclass that head coach JimStagnitta brought in to makeRutgers competitive with thelacrosse heavyweights. Whilethe Scarlet Knights seniors didnot quite get the results theyhoped for — they are 22-32since 2007 — Stagnitta saidthey succeeded in getting theteam close to where it needs to be.

“I feel for all of thembecause they are working hardand tr ying hard,” saidStagnitta, after his team fell, 8-4, to Villanova in all-too-familiarfashion yesterday at YurcakField. “The problem is we arereally close and that’s the mostfrustrating thing for everyone.We are close to everybody weplay, and it’s a matter of us consistently doing the rightthings and we haven’t been ableto do that.”

Porter senses the frustration too. Yesterday’s loss made the

Knights winless for the monthof April dropping them to 5-7after starting the season 5-2.

“It’s kind of hard when wecome out strong and for some

reason or another we can’t exe-cute the game plan,” Por tersaid. “It’s kind of been like thatall season. The coaches put usin the right spot, but it’s up tous to execute the plays on thefield and we haven’t been doing it. That’s what makes the losses demoralizing.”

It’s not just Porter that cannotseem to figure it out. Ask anyRutgers senior and the answer isthe same.

“It was tough today and wecouldn’t get things going offen-sively,” said senior JustinPennington. “We’ve been hav-ing some problems [offensive-ly] all season and today it showed.”

After getting an early leadthe Scarlet Knights went score-less for just over 32 minutes.When they finally did breakthrough, cutting the Wildcatlead to two with 4:44 left in thegame, they gave up a goal thatpushed the lead back to three28 seconds later.

“It was tough,” said seniorGerhard Buehning when asked if he felt for his class-mates. “We went through thislast year too seeing everybodyupset in the locker room and Inow know how that feels. It sucks.”

Buehning was one of the fewbright spots yesterday, finishing

with two goals to bring his seasontotal to 21.

After scoring just once as afreshman, Buehning reacheddouble-digits in goals the pastthree seasons. His 21 this yearare a career-high.

“I feel like I’ve improved eachyear,” Buehning said. “I’ve beenable to come out and play everyday and that’s really the only wayto get better and it has just kind ofhappened for me.”

The Knights have two oppor-tunities left to send their seniors off with a couple victo-ries, but they still couldn’t helpbut rue another missed opportu-nity yesterday.

“All the losses we’ve had,we’ve been in every game,”Porter said. “I whole-heartedlybelieve we could have beatevery single one of those teams.The problem is that when itcomes down to the final parts ofthe games, we’re not executingwhat we need to do. We haven’tplayed a complete 60 minutes allseason long and that’s beenhard for us.”

A 4-0 loss to South Florida in theBig East tournament closed the cur-tain on the Rutgers tennis team’s

2010 sea-son. TheS c a r l e tKnightsw e r eb u l l e d

over on Friday in the second roundof the tourney in South Bend, Ind.,as a predominately successful springreached a disappointing conclusion.

The Knights finish the yearwith a 14-8 record. But unlike lastseason, the team failed to advancebeyond the second day of thetournament and must settle for aone-win postseason.

That victory came onThursday, when Rutgers poundedPittsburgh 4-0 in round one. Lessthan a month removed from a 7-0defeat in Piscataway, the Pantherswere once again dismantled atthe hands of the Knights.

But the thrill of yet anotherpummeling of Pittsburgh wasshort-lived. Just 24 hours after

the win, Rutgers was againinvolved in a shutout match —though this time, it was on thewrong end of the equation.

The talented No. 24 SouthFlorida squad was able to stayahead of the Knights through-out the contest and cruised to aconference win. Rutgers assis-tant coach Alex Arlak feels herteam had a shot at earning a vic-tory before USF shifted intohigh gear.

“We competed well againstSouth Florida,” Arlak said.“They were definitely vulnerablein some places and we cameclose to using that to our advan-tage. But they are a very talent-ed team and were able to take itto us in the end.”

Friday’s defeat is the latest in aseries of losses against rankedopponents. Rutgers has neverbeaten a nationally ranked teamand the Bulls made sure thattrend continued.

“It was a disappointment tolose in the second round,” Arlaksaid. “We have trouble gettingover that hump and beatingteams that are highly ranked.It’s something that this pro-gram needs to work on and it’simportant if we want to keepmoving forward.”

Sophomore singles player JenHolzberg echoed her coach’ssentiments when looking backon the match.

“Part of it is frustratingbecause you always want to final-ly beat a top ranked team,”Holzberg said. “But it also moti-vates us to work hard so that wecan do it next year.

“I feel like we did have a verygood chance of beating SouthFlorida. I know they wereranked very highly but we wereneck and neck with them mostof the way. The match was a lot

closer than the score shows andwe can take some positives outof it.”

Despite the lopsided deci-sion, Rutgers saw some highlycontentious matches againstUSF. Holzberg took USF’sMelissa Koning to a first-settiebreaker before losing in theNo. 2 singles slot, while juniorace Amy Zhang and seniorKatherine Arlak each foughthard through tough defeats.

Arlak, a team captain whoplayed her final match in scarleton Friday, said her last Big Easttournament was bittersweet.

“I think we did play prettywell,” she said. “We beat Pitt theway we expected to and we weredefinitely happy about that.Unfortunately, we lost to a goodUSF team and that was frustrat-ing. We would have liked tomove on to the next round but itdidn’t happen.”

The Bulls’ win would be thelast of their season. DePaul beatUSF 4-0 on Saturday, who alsosquared off with tournament hostNo.5 Notre Dame yesterday inthe conference championship.The Irish pummeled the BlueDemons 4-0 to win the Big Eastcrown in front of their homecrowd.

Though Rutgers did not duplicate its 2009 postseason run,when it advanced to the tourney’ssemifinals, Holzberg said there’sno reason to sulk.

“It’s disappointing that we did-n’t make it to the semis becausewe had the opportunity in front ofus,” she said. “But I do think wecame into the tournament playingreally strong. We beat Pittsburgheven worse than we did a monthago and before that we ended theseason with a few great Big Eastwins. It’s definitely something tobuild off.”

Senior pitcher NicoleLindley was lights-out in thefirst game, shutting out theFriars behind nine strikeoutsand just two hits allowed.

Lindley carried a no-hitterthrough the fifth inning, but lostit with a base hit to left field.

“Nicole was outstanding,”Nelson said. “She missed onespot all game. She was just out-standing and that’s the kind ofstart we need.”

Junior centerfielder JenMeinheit scored two of Rutgers’three runs in the win and fresh-man shortstop Ashley Braggdrove in two runs with a single inthe sixth inning.

“I wasn’t really happy withmy first two at-bats so I was justlooking to make an adjustment,”said Bragg, who is second on theteam in hitting. “I hit a line driveand it went through.”

Bragg said beatingMonmouth Thursday helped herand the rest of the Knights gettheir confidence up for the BigEast series.

“It was good to be able tocome back and win a game like

Defense dominates historic spring gameBY STEVEN MILLER

SPORTS EDITOR

Steve Beauharnais could have told anyoneyears ago the basics about how the Scarlet-

White game wouldplay out.

From the timethe Rutgers footballteam began recruit-ing the sophomore

middle linebacker, Beauharnais knew theScarlet Knights’ strength is defense.

“Year in and year out, Rutgers is knownfor defense,” said Beauharnais, who had13 tackles for the White team in its 16-7

loss to the Scarlet squad. “I think we’re onthe verge of being a great defense.Obviously, it’s only the spring and it’s stillearly, but we’re on our way.”

The first-team of fense donned thehome Scarlet and took down the first-teamdefense in White, but only managed onetouchdown on a 12-play, 65-yard openingdrive. Both defenses combined for fivetakeaways on three interceptions and two fumbles.

Beauharnais picked of f sophomorequar terback Tom Savage, who played his first Scarlet-White game in front of a record crowd of 20,114 at Rutgers Stadium. The next highest

turnout for a Big East spring game wasPittsburgh’s 6,532.

“It’s always amazing whenever we get alot of fans for something that’s not agame,” said redshir t freshman DarrellGivens, who forced a fumble for theKnights’ second-team defense in scarlet.“That was kind of cool to have so manypeople at a scrimmage.”

Savage completed 17-of-30 passes for181 yards, but was without his No. 1 wideout and classmate Mohamed Sanu.Redshir t freshman Quron Pratt stepped up in his stead, continuing to

Senior attack Brooke Cantwell scored the Knights’ game-winning goal in overtime Saturdayagainst No. 12 Notre Dame, keeping Rutgers in the Big East Tournament race.

BY STEVEN WILLIAMSONSENIOR WRITER

After letting an early lead disappear in lastweek’s loss to Georgetown, the Rutgerswomen’s lacrosse team knew it could notafford to make the same mistake twice

against No. 12Notre Dame.

The ScarletKnights used lock-down defense torace out to a six-goaladvantage in the

first half, and though the Irish rallied to tiethe game in the second, Rutgers never quit.

Overtime heroics from senior attackBrooke Cantwell were just enough to propelthe Knights to the 12-11 victory and, mostimportantly, keep the team’s Big EastTournament hopes alive.

“I think we knew that we had a job to doafter losing to Georgetown,” said senior co-captain Faith Richards. “We lost toGeorgetown after going on the same exactrun and we knew that we were going to haveto come out, get on a run and stay up to win

the game. I think that’s the reason that we’remost proud of ourselves because eventhough they caught up a little bit we didn’t letthem get up on us.”

Cantwell’s trio of goals led the team, whilefive other Knights scored on the afternoon.

The senior’s third goal was the biggest. After the two teams slugged it out

through the opening over time period,Cantwell found space and flicked a shotpast the Irish goalkeeper for her team-leading 37th goal of the season — a newcareer-high.

“I hadn’t touched the ball much in the sec-ond half because they were face-guardingme, which is fine, as long as we’re scoring Idon’t care,” Cantwell said. “But I had the ballin my hands at that point and I knew I had theopportunity and I was able to get around herand shoot.”

But the Knights’ stifling defense was thestory for much of the game.

Rutgers held the Irish to only a single goalin a half — the third time this season theKnights’ defense accomplished that feat.

NEW YORK — As exciting as the first dayof the NFL Draft proved to be for the Rutgersfootball team, the second and third days

ended in slight disap-pointment with only

one other player hearing his name called atRadio City Music Hall.

With one of the final picks in the lastround of the draft, the Minnesota Vikingsselected former Scarlet Knights line-backer Ryan D’Imperio, but he will noteven play there.

“As far as defense goes, I’m going to be afullback,” D’Imperio said on a conference callafter the selection. “I talked to the runningbacks coach, and that’s what I’m going tocome there to be.

“Most coaches were talking to me aboutfree agency. My agent and I were going overall possible choices concerning free agencyand where to go, what would give me thebest opportunity. Now, I don’t have to gothere, and that was the greatest feeling I’veever had.”

D’Imperio, who played fullback atWashington Township High School, said thathe’s ready to play and he doesn’t care where.

“It’s all about collision, blocking,” he said.“It’s the same whether you’re on offense ordefense, you just don’t have the ball in yourhands. That’s all that matters, to just go outthere. Whatever they tell me to do, I’m goingto do it the best I can.”

If D’Imperio needs any pointers, he canask another former Scarlet Knight whojoined the NFL ranks Saturday as an undraft-ed free agent.

Within 10 minutes of the final pick, full-back Jack Corcoran received a call from hisagent and instantly agreed to a deal with theHouston Texans.

“He told me to make a decision rightaway because that’s how we have to do it,”he said. “I barely even thought about it. Ipulled the trigger and now I can say I’m aHouston Texan.”

After seeing the fullback position slow-ly fazed out of the Rutgers of fense with
