Trend predictsdisappearanceof state aid

BY JEFF PRENTKYSTAFF WRITER

The percentage of annual tuition Universitystudents pay out of pocket doubled in the last 20years, while state appropriations havedecreased by half.

This trend, if not reversed in the next gener-ation, could mean University students will bepaying close to private school costs but withoutthe prestige, said Courtney McAnuff, vice pres-ident for Enrollment Management at theUniversity. University tuition is rising fasterthan private institutions and the difference intuition between them is shrinking.

“You’re almost quasi-private,” McAnuff said.“A lot of students say [tuition] is not affordablenow. We’re probably one of the most expensivestate school systems in the country.”

Tuition at Harvard University increasedabout 157 percent since 1990, according to theOffice of the Provost of Harvard’s website. Yetthe University’s tuition increased about 240 per-cent since 1990, according to the New JerseyCommission on Higher Education website.

University students paid 32.9 percent oftuition and fees of the total University budget in1990, and state appropriations covered 67.1 per-cent, according to the University’s state appro-priations website. University students pay 65percent of the budget in 2011 while the statepays 35 percent.

These numbers indicate the steady declineof the state’s contribution to its state university,McAnuff said.

If continued at the same rate, around 2033state tuition could disappear. If that happens, afull-time, in-state student living on-campus willpay approximately $37,000 in tuition, includingannual fees and room and board, not adjustedfor inflation.

McAnuff graduated from The City Collegeof New York in 1967 when there was no tuitionfor admitted students. He said there was a pub-lic sense that if you were working, you wouldnot cost the state money but actually make thestate money.

“That seems to have gone away and noweducation is perceived as an individual rightthat an individual has to pay, and I have a lot ofproblems with that,” he said.

At about $262.5 million, a 26.3 percent cut fromfive years ago, direct state appropriations for theUniversity in the 2011 fiscal year are at their lowestlevel since 1994, according to the Gov. ChrisChristie’s Task Force on Higher Education Report.

These figures are not adjusted for inflation,meaning New Jersey is spending much less onthe University than just about ever before,according to the report.

Meanwhile, full-time equivalent enrollmentis more than 10,000 students higher than in1994. Consequently, the University canceledpay increases and froze salaries for all employ-ees this year, according to the report.

“One of the driving factors behind tuitionincreases at public colleges and universities isdeclining state support,” Vice President forUniversity Budgeting Nancy Winterbauer saidvia e-mail correspondence.

But Winterbauer does not believe thesenegative funding trends mean state supportfor higher education will be eliminated in theyears ahead.

“In the United States, public higher educa-tion played a critical role in the developmentof young minds and in the creation of newknowledge,” she said. “It’s unlikely the citi-zens of any state will want to see such a vitalresource disappear.”

“In some incarnation thistype of event has been goingon since 2005,” Lauritzen said. “Overall it’s getting better between landlords and tenants.”

The purpose of the eventwas for renters to ask lawyersquestions to help sort theirissues out, said Don Heilman,director and attorney at StudentLegal Services.

Students moving off-campusfor the first time can get caughtoff guard, Heilman said. Hehopes to get leases sorted outfrom the start and help studentsto make an informed decision.

Close-knit pharmacy council plans for next semester’s electionBY ROBERT ADASHEV

CONTRIBUTING WRITER

The Pharmacy GoverningCouncil met Tuesday night at theBusch Campus Center to discussthe upcoming elections for thecouncil board while addressingpharmacy student concerns.

“We have a lot more ef fectthan other councils becausewe are a smaller community,”said Andrew Zullo, presidentof the council. “We’re onlyabout 1,100 students right now.We pretty much deal withevery aspect of school fromgreek life to honor societies toour organizations.”

The meeting was at full capac-ity of about 60 students. Zullosaid the small community givesthe council a wider reach, whichallows it to be more effective inserving students’ needs.

“It’s a lot easier for me to dothe job of representing the stu-dent body,” said Zullo, an ErnestMario School of Pharmacy jun-ior. “I basically just talk to peo-ple, stay in contact with them,find out what they want. Webring those needs and wantsinto these forums.”

To run for an of fice position,students need 30 to 120 signa-tures on a petition dependingon what position they are pur-suing, said Joseph Kim, thecouncil’s treasurer.

If the student is running for anexecutive board position, the sig-natures must come from stu-dents of all class years, he said.The deadline for the petition isMarch 7 at 5 p.m.

After students complete thepetition, they are screened tomake sure they attended two-thirds of the meetings, Kim said.The dean then checks the candi-date’s academic credentials tomake sure they are not on aca-

“They really make a lot of deci-sions on how organizations withinthe school use the pharmacyschool’s resources,” he said.

Faculty reports from themeeting included Assistant

Dean of the Ernest MarioSchool of Pharmacy NancyCintron-Budet’s announcementabout a charity poker tourna-ment to promote tolerance.

Christopher Molloy, dean ofthe Ernest Mario School ofPharmacy, talked about a possi-ble program that tours newlyaccepted pharmacy studentsaround the school.

Council Senator and ErnestMario School of Pharmacy juniorNeil Foglio discussed the forma-tion of a website advisory com-mittee that hopes to improve thepharmacy school’s current web-site through student involvement.

The next council meeting isscheduled for March 8 at 6:40p.m. at the Busch CampusCenter, Room 122.

Armington said most peoplewould have to rent after college.

“I feel like I’m betterinformed, not that [landlordsare] out to get you. But youhave to be on your toes,” she said.

Students not present at the meeting are still able toaccess the information cov-ered, Heilman said. ThePowerPoint will be available onthe Student Legal Ser viceswebsite, as well as ads for thelease reviews will be in TheDaily Targum.

In addition to the informa-tion session, Student LegalServices is scheduled to host

two more eventson March 9 and23 featuring vol-unteer attor-neys who will beavailable toreview leases,he said.

V o l u n t e e rattorneys AnishJoshi and FlavioKomuves aswell as otherswill be available

by appointment to help stu-dents, he said.

“The normal prices for see-ing an attorney run around$250 to $350 per hour,”Heilman said. “It’s really agood deal.”

Through the referral servic-es, the attorneys provide discount legal ser vices to the Rutgers community,Komuves said.

He said it is important forlawyers to help people enforcetheir legal rights.

“I lived off and on campus atsome point. I’ve been there,”Komuves said. “I know what theproblems are, and I’m glad tohelp any members of theRutgers community.”

But still, Winterbauer saidthese trends must be addressedsooner rather than later.

Christie was confronted with afalloff in state revenues last yearthat led him to recommend a 9percent overall cut in state spend-ing to fulfill his constitutional obli-gation to balance the budget,Public Information Officer for theNew Jersey Department ofTreasury Bill Quinn said via e-mail correspondence.

“The cuts to Rutgers’ appro-priation were part of the overalleffort to deal with the state’sserious fiscal situation,” he said.

Quinn said Christie kept stu-dent needs in mind by recom-mending an increase in TuitionAid Grants, which provides directsupport to college students inneed of financial assistance.

The legislature ultimatelyapproved a $23 million increasein spending on that program,he said.

The program broughttogether those who haveauthority in schools and differ-ent aspects of life, including thedeputy attorney general, theprosecutor’s office and mem-bers from the Gay, Lesbian andStraight Education Network(GLSEN), he said.

“Basically we are going tobring together 500 high schoolstudents, undergraduates, grad-uate students and all membersof this University community todiscuss this summit,” Whitneysaid. “We are trying to empowerthem, that’s also why webrought [author] Jodee Blancowho has ... pretty much writtenthe Bible on bullying.”

The goal of the seminar wasto make students feel empow-ered so they can return to schooland help facilitate change, hesaid.

“We thought it would just bea great day given all the thingsthat have happened,” Whitneysaid. “The tragedies continue,so we try to make studentsaware that bullying comes in allforms and that bystanders arejust as responsible as those whoactually do it.”

The presentation beganwith an opening panel, fol-lowed by a book signing andpanel discussion with JodeeBlanco, author of “Please StopLaughing at Me.”

“When legal services firstopened, one of the first problemswe spotted was a lot of landlord-tenant problems that probablycould have been avoided if theleases had been reviewed,”Heilman said.

He said often students do notrealize that the actions of theirroommates can fall upon them.If one roommate leaves or doesnot have enough money forrent, the rest of the roommatescan be left with abig problem.

The eventfeatured ques-tions from bothstudents andlandlords on avariety of rentalissues, and eachquestion wasmet with ananswer aboutthe matter.

Some of thequestions spiked debatebetween the landlords and stu-dents, like when one renter men-tioned an issue over mice and alandlord, who attended theevent, responded.

“I am glad and impressed thatRutgers offers this sort of event,”said Kathleen Feeney, a NewBrunswick landlady.

Feeny said she wanted tosee the New Brunswick com-munity and the University inte-grate more since students aresuch an asset.

Christie proposed a $20 mil-lion increase on Monday to fund-ing for student financial aid aswell as offering $15 milliontoward community college capi-tal improvements.

“When the crisis we’ve beenin changes, one of the firstplaces [Christie] looks to isincreasing aid in higher educa-tion,” said Sean Conner, aspokesman for Christie.

As state aid diminishes,Patrick Nowlan, the executivedirector for the Rutgers Councilof the American Association ofUniversity Professors, said itbecomes challenging for theUniversity to recruit qualityprofessors and researcherswhile retaining the ones they have.

Funding cuts affect the vari-ety of classes offered and thefrequency they are taught whilestraining the classroom environ-ment by increasing the numberof students, Nowlan said.

“We want to maintain thatquality of instruction where youactually interact with the profes-sor or the teaching assistant andnot have a rushed environment

where you’re being pushedthrough,” he said.

Nowlan does not believe theUniversity should construct newdormitories, classrooms andresearch laboratories and thencut courses, increase class sizes,cut back on bus services orfreeze salaries.

“Getting back to the core mis-sion of the University, it’s aboutthe student and the faculty’s rela-tionship, and student learning,and the faculty members beingable to take some of that knowl-edge and transfer it intoresearch and productive quali-ties for society,” he said.

The University is looking lesslike a state institution, not justbecause there is less money fromthe state but because there is lessoversight and this gives moreautonomy to the University presi-dent, Nowlan said.

“That’s not necessarily a goodthing for the student because itimpacts tuition and fees, itimpacts decision making,” hesaid. “If the state doesn’t have arole in what the state universitydoes, then it’s a disadvantage tothe employees and the students.”

Supervision and CoordinationBureau, Division of CriminalJustice, addressed the issue ofbullying beyond the classroom.

“Bullying af fects all of us — harassment, physicalabuse, and domestic abuse allare criminal conduct,” she said.“Violent crimes are hate crimes,and 50 percent of those are com-mitted by youth between theages of 11 and 17.”

Agudosi said New Jersey hasalways been in the forefront ofanti-bullying legislation.

“In 2002, New Jersey was thefirst to pass legislation againstbullying,” she said. “Gov. ChrisChristie recently signed a lawimpacted by the tragedy that hap-pened at this University.”

With the new updates, schoolsmust have an appointed officialdesignated to handle incidents ofbullying and investigate them in atimely manner, Agudosi said.

Outreach Coordinator at theCenter for Middle EasternStudies Shehnaz SheikAbdeljaber said bullying inschools is not limited to studentsbullying each other.

“My son was a victim of bully-ing from both fellow classmatesand teachers,” Abdeljaber said.“The new renovations to the anti-bullying law now make schoolsmore accountable when investi-gating acts of bullying, wherethey have the name of the personin charge of bullying investiga-tions on the school website.”

People should realize othersare sometimes unintentionallybullying through misuse of lan-guage, Abdeljaber said.

“The use of the words ‘retard’and ‘gay’ are especially two of the

more common ones,” said PaulaC. Rodriguez Rust, board mem-ber of the Central New Jersey’sGLSEN chapter.

Rust said although people usethese words out of the context oftheir actual meanings, they arestill derogatory and inappropriate.

“If people used my first nameas a derogatory term, I would beoffended even if they came up tome and said we’re not referring toyou, we’re joking around — Iwould still be very upset about it,”she said.

Blanco closed the summitwith an autobiographical reenact-ment of her life and the hardshipsshe faced with bullying.

“Bullying just isn’t what youphysically or verbally do to a per-son, but all the nice things youdon’t do,” she said. “Bullying islike taking a freshly sharpenedrazor blade and taking bloodychunks from a person’s spirit thatnever heals.”

During one part of Blanco’sspeech, she had audience mem-bers close their eyes and remi-nisce back to a time when some-one they loved had hurt them.

“It was very emotional,” saidJoanna Wojton, a School of Artsand Sciences junior. “I was in astate of mind that wasn’t quitenostalgia but close to it, especially when Blanco gaveher speech.”

Wojton said this summitgave students and adults waysto address bullies and it alsogave audience members hope.

“I thought the summit wasvery effective, not only for stu-dents, but for adults as well,” shesaid. “It was a great experience,and I really enjoyed it.”

“It will impact the communi-ty by showing that two engi-neer organizations can cometogether, work toward a com-mon good, not only providingentertaining activities for ourmembers and outside commu-nity, but also helping TheSunshine Foundation as they

[work] on their initiative,” she said.

The date auction raisedmore than $1,348, and there isan expectation for more dona-tions, said Islam Elalem, MEETtreasurer and School ofEngineering junior.

Society of Hispanic EngineersPresident Jose Fernandez wasexcited to host the auction and to

George Street construction project to reopen in springBY ANASTASIA MILLICKER

CORRESPONDENT

Students will have theoppor tunity to walk along arenovated George Street in fallonce the Black RockEnterprises LLC completes thefinal stage of the George StreetBeautification Project.

The final block of GeorgeStreet, between Church andAlbany Streets, is anticipated tobegin sometime this spring, cityspokesman Bill Bray said.

“Construction was shut downin the fall with the intention beingnot to disrupt seasonal traffic andbusiness,” Bray said. “It was bestprojected [that the] projectshould restart in the spring whenRutgers lets out of session.”

It is likely George Street willshut down in both directions,Bray said. The project willprobably take six to eightweeks to complete.

“With less students on cam-pus and less buses running, itwould be easier not only for thecity but also for the University,”Bray said. “The reduced sum-mer bus schedule and less traf-fic on the road are better.”

Meanwhile the block is stillproceeding in the other portions,with the addition of two bus shut-tles — one in front of Amber LionAntiques and the other in front ofthe Sprint store, he said.

The bus stops, which aremade of glass and steel, willinclude an electronic signageboard that electricity needs to bewired to, Bray said.

“There is a wooden boardunderneath the benches wherethe concrete is yet to be poured,”Bray said. “The concrete can’t bepoured unless the temperature ismore than 50 degrees.”

Concrete needs a few hours todry in spring weather before itcan settle, he said.

“We were able to sneaksome in last week when we hadthat beautiful weather, but nowthere is a temporary platformuntil the temperatures riseagain,” Bray said.

The bus shelter is open andhas a place for people to sit andbe protected from bad weather,Bray said.

“New sidewalks, curbs,lighting and new furniture areall apart of the renovations thatwill take place on GeorgeStreet,” he said.

The newest addition to GeorgeStreet has been the installation ofinformation kiosks with bulletinboards, Bray said.

“We have a handbill ordi-nance in New Brunswick [thatstates there can be] no postingof flyers on trees or light polesthrough the city because eventsgo by, and no one takes themdown,” Bray said.

With the new installments,there will be a city-wide effort tomaintain the kiosks, Bray said.

“We installed new informa-tion kiosks that are perpendicu-lar to the road instead of theolder ones [which] only thepedestrians could see,” Braysaid. “Now everyone passing bycan see.”

The kiosks are metal, so peo-ple can tape flyers up instead ofstapling or push-pinning them on,which makes it easier forremoval, Bray said.

The construction companyrenovating George St. had to out-bid numerous other firms, Braysaid.

“This project was a bid proj-ect, so the lowest and mostresponsible bidder gets the proj-ect,” he said. “The city deter-mines if the company is capableof completing the job in an effi-cient manner.”

Despite the weather, theproject has been progressingsteadily over the last fewmonths, Bray said.

Sprint store manager LuisPeralta said he was not worriedabout the street closure or thebus stop in front of the store.

“I think the bus stop in front ofthe store is great because it isright in front,” Peralta said. “It’sright there and very convenient.”

Although he liked the busstop, Peralta said he was

annoyed he was not given a sayon whether the stop should beplaced in front of his store.

“I don’t have a problem withthe bus stop because it is clear,but if it was dark, I would nothave been happy about it,”Peralta said. “It was only put up20 days ago — really recently — but I wish I wouldhave had a heads up.”

Chipotle store managerAnthony Toth said he was

concerned about the sidewalkand street closing because therestaurant is on the corner ofboth the roads that are beingshut down.

“I would not be worried ifonly the roads were shut downbecause most of our business isfrom people walking,” Toth said. “But if the sidewalksare under construction, thenthat would be detrimental toour business.”

Among the George Street renovations include glass and steel bus stopsthat are meant to protect residents from extreme weather conditions.

CHATCAMPUS

WITH BILL BRAY

THE DAILY TARGUM’S

Anastasia Millicker: Can you highlight your biggest accomplish-ment as city spokesperson of New Brunswick?Bill Bray: Success is measured in hits rather than home-runs — they all add up to a win rather than one shiningmoment. The greatest accomplishment is informing thepublic and improving the city’s ability to communicate.

AM: What was one of your most memorable experiencesat Rutgers?BB: Getting arrested at the Rutgers Football Stadium.

AM: Why were you arrested?BB: I think you can imagine what — underage possession. Itwas the first football game at the new stadium. Not many peo-ple know, but there is a little jail inside the stadium. The memo-rable thing was that I was the first in my section to go to jail inthe new stadium. Remembering back that far brings back someinteresting times.

AM: What did you do after graduating college and transitioningfrom a student to the “real world?”BB: Managing school and part-time employment. I was used tojuggling multiple balls in the air. As a Cook campus student, Ihad to do an internship and after that, I had a full-time job. Theydidn’t even have a job for me when I went for an interview. I wentto the interview and then the editor said they didn’t have a joband that I did not have the proper experience even though I wasa stringer for three years. Then I got home, and there was a mes-sage on my machine saying that I got the job. Now my job is the same commute now as I did as a student.What most people don’t know is that I dropped out of collegeand took a year off. At times I would think of dropping out andnever going back, but in the end I went back and when I cameback to college with a wing fold of knowledge.

AM: What is your favorite fat sandwich?BB: Everything else is a copycat. My favorite sandwich is a fat caton pita bread with no onions. I used to have a line of credit withJimmy’s. Back in the day I would get a Fat Cat, mozzarella sticks, acoke and a pack of cigarettes all for $10. I used to live on BartlettStreet. I would go to the student center ATM and get my $10 andgo to Jimmy’s. Some nights I wouldn’t get to the ATM, and Jimmywould let me put it on credit. Some days, I would even eat a FatCat for breakfast. Even nowadays I go back and have my Fat Caton pita and people look back and remember me by it — it makesme unique ’cause the combo never quite caught on. Just like Levi’sis the real blue jeans, the Fat Cat is the real fat sandwich. Youmade me remember a funny picture that was taken that no onehas found yet, but this made me think of it.

AM: Can you give me a hint of where to find this picture?BB: That would take the fun out of it, wouldn’t it?

Correspondent Anastasia Millicker sat down with Bill Bray, city spokesman of New Brunswick, to talk about his days as

a University student, including his favorite fat sandwich, his campus life and a mysterious photo.

unlike Jennings or Rutter,will never buzz in and thenthink about his responsewhile the bright blue barshrinks on his podium.Even if this is a rare neces-sity for the contestants, it isa technique they will nothesitate to use if theanswer is just a second or

two away from recollection. With Watson, answershave to be instantaneous.

Another advantage of the “new computer over-lord” is the limit of his knowledge. That is, there isno limit. Not limitless in the sense that everyanswer is clear and immediate to this robotPoindexter but rather that any quantifiable piece ofinformation he needs lies somewhere in those ter-abytes of data. His weaknesses are interpretive andanalytical. When it comes to the content of cate-gories, he has no problem. Even contestants withthe most encyclopedic knowledge fall silent forsome questions because the topic is too unfamiliar.And that is what makes “Jeopardy!” great.Contestants on the show are incredible examples of

the capacity of the human brain tounderstand complex questions andrecall the knowledge to answer it,but no one is perfect.

What is comforting aboutWatson is that he is not all circuitboards and spark plugs. In a col-umn Jennings wrote for Slate mag-azine, he recounts the I.B.M. engi-neers’ admission that they mod-eled Watson’s analytical methodsafter successful “Jeopardy!” con-testants — namely, Jennings him-

self. This brings me some solace. What alwaysmade “Jeopardy!” special to me, besides theopportunity to shamelessly blurt out useless triviaI know, was that it got at something uniquelyHomo sapiens. We humans can play with lan-guage, make jokes and store volumes of trivia inour gray matter. Consequently, I am decidedlyanti-Watson, not because I think the technology isnot amazing or useless. Watson is an incrediblefeat and is already slated for use in hospitals. I justthink he does not belong on “Jeopardy!”

Imagine, halfway through the first round, AlexTrebek walks up to Watson and tries to introducehim, like any other contestant, with a personal anec-dote. How would the machine respond? “Systemerror,” I’m guessing.

L ast week, I.B.M.’sq u i c k - c o m p u t i n gm e g a - m a c h i n e

Watson took to the screen ina special edition of the gameshow “Jeopardy!” Pittedagainst two previous recordholders, Ken Jennings(longest run on the show)and Brad Rutter (highestwinnings), the computer ran away with the victory,trouncing his measly human competition. His fanshailed the events as an unparalleled step forward forcomputer science. His detractors sneered at thefaceless contraption. (Full disclosure: My friendsand I are militantly faithful “Jeopardy!” fans. Weschedule weekday mealtimes around its 7 p.m. TVslot. So I tend to side with the detractors. I’m alsoone-eighth Luddite).

One can trace Watson’s lineage to his wired rela-tive, Deep Blue. This chess-playing supercomputergained fame by winning a six-game match againstGarry Kasparov, generally recognized as one of thebest chess players ever to have lived. Deep Blue wasanother I.B.M. invention, and was hailed in its owntime, the ’90s, as a technological tri-umph. I.B.M. built a computer thatcould not only best the speed of ahuman adversary, but outsmart himtoo. But chess is a logical game.There are six different pieces, eachwith only a certain number ofoptions on a board that is only sobig. I don’t mean to be reductiveabout chess strategy — as my chess-playing friends know, I’m no grand-master. But chess has a definitelogic to it that cannot be found in agame like “Jeopardy!”

This is why Watson is so baffling to so many peo-ple. At his most basic level, he has to understand themeanings of sentences. And that’s to say nothing ofpuns, words with several meanings, contextual com-plexities, potent potables — the list goes on. Google“anthrax.” The first page of results is a mixture ofmedical analyses of Bacillus anthracis and the heavymetal band’s fan sites. These kind of problems befallI.B.M.’s mental mainframe. Nevertheless, Watson’sno slouch. Although he occasionally slips up, incor-rectly responding with answers no human wouldreasonably guess, his strengths make up for it. Andby too much.

Watson can scan two million pages of data inthree seconds. And he only buzzes in when he’shighly confident about the answer. So, unlikeJennings or Rutter, Watson will never wait to makea guess. He buzzes in immediately or not at all.The obvious downside to this is that Watson,

STORY ON FRONT

QUOTE OF THE DAY

“My friends and I are militantly faithful

‘Jeopardy!’ fans. We schedule weekday

mealtimes around its 7 p.m. TV slot.”

I n order to better foster rational civil discourse, The Daily Targumhas decided to change the policy regarding the posting of com-ments on our website. We believe that the comment system

should be utilized in order to promote thoughtful discussion betweenreaders in response to the various articles, letters, columns and op-edpieces published on the site. Unfortunately, as our comment policycurrently stands, there is room for people to abuse the comment sys-tem. The Targum’s new system will require users to log in so they canno longer hide behind the veil of anonymity. Also, an editor must nowapprove comments before they are posted. These changes will beeffective immediately.

The current version of the commenting system allows for people topost under any name they desire. We feel that this anonymity encour-ages readers to say hateful things to one another and about the writersof the pieces they are commenting on. The Targum does not condonethese sorts of personal attacks on anyone. If you disagree with a per-son’s viewpoints, you should approach that person civilly and engagein an open dialogue with them, rather than showering them with inap-propriate insults. We are alarmed at how malicious some commentshave been, and it seems the amount of malicious commentary is grow-ing. We feel the best way to prevent the continued spread of hatefullanguage is to more closely oversee the comment process.

We are also making these changes as a way to combat spam and toensure that only people are posting comments — not automated bots.In much of the same way that we want to combat the spread of mean-spirited comments, we would also like to combat the spread of thesespam comments, which do nothing but detract from the respectful dia-logue we are seeking to encourage on our website.

At the same time, we would like to encourage readers to take advan-tage of the fact that our opinions section is always open to letters fromour readers. We have noticed that many users have taken to postinglong, well thought-out comments, which would serve as great letters toprint in the paper. Part of the opinions section’s purpose is to give stu-dents on campus a public voice, and we would be honored if more stu-dents wrote to us at eic@dailytargum.com. Remember, we are yourcampus paper. We are here for you. We are implementing thesechanges to better serve the University community.

The Daily Targumenacts website policy

P resident Barack Obama has finally spoken publicly on theuprising in Libya, calling the use of violence to quell the pro-testors “outrageous and unacceptable.” It must be noted, how-

ever, that it took Obama nine days to address the revolution in Libya.These protests are inarguably major events on the global scale — espe-cially for the United States, which considers itself the champion andprotector of democracy everywhere. What could have distractedObama for so long? Why didn’t he respond sooner, as he should have?White House Press Secretary Jay Carney chalked up Obama’s silenceto a “scheduling issue,” but we think that is a weak excuse. As thePresident of the United States, Obama should have been able to pencilLibya into his schedule much sooner.

When protests began in Egypt, it did not take Obama anywhere nearas long a time to address the issues. This fact only scores to underlinehis lapse on the subject of Libya. We understand Obama probably wantsto take his time and deliberate on these issues. But, when things get asserious as they are in Libya, Obama needs to speed up his delibera-tions. He does not always have the luxury of taking his time.

The fact that it took so long for Obama to address the situation inLibya is especially salient, considering Obama is usually praised for hisdiplomatic abilities. But what we have here is a moment wherein, to putit bluntly, Obama faltered — and it is never easy to watch a leader youtrust drop the ball, so to speak. Instead of hiding behind the “schedul-ing conflict” excuse, Obama should just admit that he messed up thistime and move forward. Besides, did Carney really think anyone wouldbe satisfied with the excuse he proffered? That, in and of itself, is a bitof an insult to the American people and — even more so — the Libyanswho are fighting to bring about the changes they desire to see.

If the United States really wants anyone to believe that it is thechampion of democracy, then it needs to start acting like it. Obama’slate arrival to the fray — not to mention his sort of tepid comments onthe subject — further tarnishes our country’s image on the nationalstage, not to mention the fact that it makes it hard for even Americancitizens to believe what we are told about our country’s loyalty to theconcept of democracy everywhere.

Junior guard Khadijah Rushdan scored 14 points — second-best on the team — against thevisiting Bulls but also turned the ball over four times to lead the Knights.

Clearly fighting frustrationon her way to the bench afterobtaining her fourth foul at the13:34 mark, Lee jumped backinto the action on the RACfloor with nothing less thansheer relentlessness.

“We knew going into thegame we really needed this win,so I think the last five minutes Iwas playing for another 40 min-utes,” said Lee, who finished thegame with 17 points to lead theteam. “Just making sure I couldguarantee another 40 minutes.”

But aside from Lee serving asthe reliable threat in the post andjunior guard Khadijah Rushdanmaintaining the energy on thewing, Rutgers’ offense was asstagnant as ever last nightagainst one of the worst teams inthe conference.

Turnovers and poor shotselection kept digging theKnights into a deeper and deeperhole and almost cost the team amust-have game at home.

RALLY: Lee’s poise with

four fouls helps in comeback

continued from back

Pesky South Florida defend-ers frequently pickpocketedRushdan — who finished secondon the team with 14 points but ledwith four turnovers — as shedrove to the rim, forcing theKnights into 15 turnovers off 11Bulls’ steals.

Following a completely domi-nant outing at No. 22 Marquetteone game ago, Rutgers failed toduplicate its successes in the halfcourt and displayed the sameinconsistencies it has all season.

But getting the win still keepsthe train rolling heading into tour-nament season.

“It’s definitely important,especially going into the BigEast,” Rushdan said. “This beingone of the top conferences andnot being really sure of wherewe’re going to be seeded at, it’simportant to go in there withenergy and have games behindus that we can be confident inthe way we played.”

The last 24 seconds of the firsthalf just about summed up theKnights offensive struggles ofthe entire game.

With her team already fac-ing a nine-point deficit, sopho-more guard Erica Wheeler

inbounded the ball to Rushdan,who walked up court to set upthe team for one last shot. ButUSF’s Tif fany Conner swattedthe ball courtside, leaving fourseconds left in the stanza andforcing the Knights into a deep3-point attempt.

Eight turnovers, sloppy half-court sets and 33.3 percent clipfrom the foul line definedStringer’s offense in the first half,as it showed no resemblance tothe team that upset a conferenceopponent just days earlier.

But despite a near massive let-down to the Bulls, the Knightsstill find themselves on a two-game winning streak.

And in a game that does notyield many positives forStringer to tap into, overcomingan 18-point deficit has to countfor something.

“I like to believe that weknow that we’re never out,”Stringer said. “For us to comeback down by 17 says a lot. Weknow that we have some fightinside of us. They’re beginningto put on the colors much morereminiscent of the ScarletKnights that really play anddefend with pride.”

recruited Ben Gordon coming outof high school,” said Mitchell, whobroke Gordon’s all-time scoringrecord at Mt. Vernon. “So I had afoundation there. I wanted to comecloser to home, obviously. I wantedto help Rutgers kind of change,leave a mark, leave a lasting impres-sion here for the future.”

The choice wasa difficult one forMitchell, who con-fided in his uncle,Herb Mitchell,throughout thetransfer processand during his red-shirt year underNCAA guidelinesin Piscataway.

But Mitchellfound solace inthe presence ofCoburn, who hadjust finished hissophomore season with theKnights when he first heardabout Mitchell’s decision toleave Florida.

“I just knew that we could dosomething good for this team,”Coburn said. “I was willing to talkto him about it … so that hewould consider [coming toRutgers]. And then he did andliked what he saw and he likedthe opportunity and he’s here.”

After spending another sea-son as a role player during the2009-10 campaign behind MikeRosario — who since transferredto Mitchell’s former program,Florida — Mitchell now leads theKnights in scoring with 14.8points per game.

Mitchell even strung togeth-er seven gamesout of 10 Big Eastgames with atleast 20 points,including 25 inRutgers’ dramaticupset of then-No.9 Villanova at theLouis BrownAthletic Center.

Still, it tookMitchell time toget used to a pro-gram that did nothave a recent histo-ry of winning after

state titles under Cimmino andtwice cutting down the net at theFinal Four with Florida.

“A couple of my friends jokedaround when I first went here that Iwent from the penthouse back tothe cellar,” Mitchell said. “It’s hum-bling because I was at the top — Mt.Vernon winning, Florida winning.I’ve come kind of back to reality,having to work, fight, scratch andclaw every day to have a chance to

win a game. It makes you appreciateit that much more.”

The evolution from transfer torole player to “the guy” for theKnights was one that came tofruition through hours alone inthe RAC, much like the time hespent in private at Mt. Vernon toCimmino’s initial disdain.

“I just tried to be comfortablein my surroundings and decidedto adapt to the situation,” Mitchellsaid. “I think I handled it the rightway, and I never quit on myself. Inever gave up. I just perseveredthrough everything, all the obsta-cles I’ve been through. I just feellike the man above had me in hisplans and had something specialin store for me.”

Still, the hardest part to over-come for Mitchell was sittingout the 2008-09 season, in whichthe Knights finished 11-21 andlost point guard AnthonyFarmer to graduation.

But Farmer’s departure leftHill with a scholarship to fill, leav-ing the door open for a top juniorcollege point guard with Big Eastoffers biding his time in Miami.

That same dedication to hiscraft catapulted Mitchell and theMt. Vernon Knights to two statechampionships during his fouryears at the school, ushering inseveral top college programs tothe cramped gymnasium just out-side of New York City.

“I’d say Temple was betterthan they were last year, but Ithink that we went into the gameoverconfident,” Welsh said.

But the closeness of thescore and the constant leadchanges can benefit Rutgers inthe future, said head coachLaura Brand.

“This one was certainly alearning experience, knowingthat we could pull together at theend when the game’s on theline,” Brand said.

And what does Rutgers needto improve?

“Throwing the ball down intransition and our defensive tran-sitions and some of our shotselection and draw control,”Brand said.

Draw control improved forRutgers in the second period. TheKnights won, 7-6, on draws — animprovement over Temple’s 6-4advantage of the first half.

“We started focusing on get-ting the draw [in the secondhalf],” Brand said. “We did agood job of getting draw controland dominated on that. It’s a statthat we need to dominate.”

The improvement on drawcontrols did not go unrewarded.Rutgers came back from a 5-4deficit at the half, scoring sevengoals in the second period.

Three of the Knights’ 11goals came from juniorLindsay Watts, who scored 14goals last year.

“We’ve moved her to a spotwhere she can be more aggres-sive on the field,” Brand said.“She’s doing a lot of stuff frombehind the cage. She’s a verystrong dodger.”

With the loss of attackers —including Brooke Cantwell, wholed Rutgers in scoring each ofthe past three seasons — Wattsadjusted her game.

“I feel more confident than Idid last year,” Watts said. “If Ihave that opportunity to shoot,I’m definitely taking it morethan last year. I feel like I wantto pick up the pace of theattack. I definitely want to pickup my role and be more of akey player, especially aroundthe crease.”

A new chapter in the ever-growing story concern-ing the NFL’s expiring

collective bargaining agreementwill take place during the annualscouting combine in Indianapolis.A special meeting has been calledfor all NFL general managers andhead coaches.

The general manager, coachand another high-ranking officialfrom every team in the leaguewill attend the meeting. Its pur-pose is to brief teams on the laboruncertainty and what to expect inthe days leading up to the expira-tion of the current CBA.

This meeting comes afterthe NFL Players’ Union and theleague finally began face-to-facetalks, which as of Wednesdayalready lasted six days.

CALTECH, A SCHOOL knownfor its academics, had only onenoteworthy athletic statistic to itsname — a 310-game conferencelosing streak, the longest in col-lege basketball. But the Beaversdefeated Occidental, 46-45, onTuesday, snapping the streak.

Caltech took the lead withthree seconds left, when seniorRyan Elmquist hit the go-aheadfree throw. The win marked theBeavers’ first SouthernCalifornia IntercollegiateAthletic Conference win sinceJan. 23, 1985.

The team finished the season,5-20 — its best record in 15 years.

FOLLOWING A22-month-long investigation ofTennessee athletics, includingfootball, basketball and base-ball, the most serious chargeswere dropped on former foot-ball head coach Lane Kiffin.

Kiffin, who left for SouthernCalifornia following the 2009 sea-son, was cited with failure tomonitor his staff, which wascharged with illegal phone callsand contact with recruits. Thefootball team itself was not cited.

Other charges against theVolunteers include head basket-ball coach Bruce Pearl, whowas charged with acting unethi-cally and failure to monitor hisstaff. No charges were leviedagainst the baseball team.

THE NFL ANNOUNCEDthat it will employ a new side-line concussion test next sea-son after a 2010 campaignplagued with head injuries.

While more details will beannounced Friday at the scout-ing combine, it is confirmedthat the test will include achecklist of symptoms, a bal-ance assessment and a limitedneurological evaluation.

The NFL’s Head, Neck andSpine Committee designed thetest with input from physiciansand athletic trainers from everyNFL team.

Jacquie Ward is not one to sug-arcoat the truth. The junior swim-mer will be the first one to tell you

that after amiserable

freshman year at Indiana and adisappointing sophomore year atRutgers, swimming was just notone of her top priorities.

But that all changed this sea-son when the Rutgers swimmingand diving team welcomed newhead coach Phil Spiniello andassistant coach Lisa Pursley.

“I have grown to love the sportof swimming again and I owe thisto [Spiniello and Pursley],” Wardsaid. “Their unrelenting dedica-tion and passion brought myheart back into the sport.”

The Scarlet Knights could not behappier about Ward’s recommit-ment to swimming, as she led the

team all season in and out of thepool. Named Big East Swimmer ofthe Week on Dec. 8, Ward’s impactfrom the team’s first exhibition meetto the Big East Championships wentwithout question.

“Jacquie is a huge contributorto the program in many ways,”Spiniello said. “Her work ethic isadmirable and this season shehas just begun to scratch the sur-face of her potential.”

That potential was evident asWard was one of three Rutgersswimmers to qualify for an NCAA“B” cut.

Making a “B” cut means thatWard is eligible to earn an invita-tion to the NCAA Championshipsin March, even though sheadmits the chances of receivingan invitation are slim.

“It would be an incredibleexperience,” Ward said. “Thishas been my goal since highschool and to be able to compete

among the best of the best wouldtruly mean a lot to me. It is myfirst ‘B’ cut ever, and I just wantto get faster and be invited to gonext year.”

She qualified by posting a timeof 4:26.92 in the 400-yard individ-ual medley last weekend at theBig East Championships. Ward’stime was good for fourth in theevent while the Knights took sev-enth overall at the meet.

The strong performance alsoqualified Ward for summernationals in California.

“My favorite race of the seasonwas for sure my 400 [individualmedley] at Big East,” Ward said.“I was able to hang out in thefront with fastest girls for a whileand to me, this means that withsome more training I’ll be able topost up a great time.”

Ward is also a part of theKnights’ 800-yard freestyle relayteam that dropped 29 seconds

off its seeded time. The squad,also consisting of sophomoreTaylor Zafir and freshmen MaryMoser and Chelsea Rolin, fin-ished the race in seventh with atime of 7:27.85.

Despite the seventh-place fin-ish, the Knights are optimisticabout their future and Ward is atthe forefront of that optimism.

“We know we’re capable ofsome great things,” Ward said.“We showed the other teams thatwe can hang with them. Theyknow we’re coming.”

Ward is unquestionably aleader for the Knights as a junioron a team with no seniors. Sheholds faith for herself and herteammates going into the future.

“Individually, I want to win atBig East and be invited to theNCAAs,” Ward said. “For theteam, I want to be third or betterat Big East next year and unde-feated in dual meets.”

A 52-46victory, however ugly it was, looksa lot better in the eyes of the selec-tion committee. The Rutgerswomen’s basketball team standsat 16-11 on the season with rankedwins over Georgetown andMarquette. Winning the last twogames with two left in the regularseason puts the Scarlet Knights ingood position to qualify for theNCAA Tournament.

With a similar strength ofschedule and conference recordlast season, Rutgers made theNCAA tournament with 19 wins.

today. Rutgers (16-11, 9-5) jumpedfrom a three-way tie for sixth placeinto a tie for fourth place withMarquette and Louisville.

With a poor nonconferencerecord at 7-6, the Knights need towin out and get some help tomaintain their fourth place posi-tion, which allows for a double-bye in the conference tourna-ment. But Rutgers holds a head-to-head victory over Marquette.

AFTER RUTGERS TOOK THElead in the final minutes, SouthFlorida senior center PorcheGrant showed her frustration inan altercation with Rutgers for-ward Chelsey Lee.

When Lee pulled in a reboundand used her elbows to clear outspace, Grant got violent and ascrum ensued though no onethrew a punch.

Grant received a flagrant tech-nical foul, her fifth foul in the game.She showed the middle finger tothe crowd as she stormed off thecourt with a security escort.

Referees also gave KhadijanRushdan a technical foul duringthe altercation, though she wasnowhere near Grant or Lee dur-ing the exchange.

“With a really close game likethat it gets competitive like that, but[nobody] meant any harm, obvi-ously,” Rushdan said. “With twoteams going at it back-and-forth

like that, it can get rough. We didn’tmean anything by it.”

FOR THE FIRST TIME IN56 days, junior guard Nikki Speedchecked in at the Louis BrownAthletic Center scorer’s table andentered a game.

Speed injured her foot on Jan. 3in a win over George Washingtonand went through the next month

and a half wearing a boot beforethe medical staff cleared her foraction last week.

But her return to action wasnot a pretty one.

She quickly air-balled a jumpshot on the team’s first posses-sion and followed it up a minutelater with a sloppy, interceptedpass and a subsequent foul on theother end.

Jonathan Mitchell was restless. Averaging11.4 minutes per game in his sophomore sea-son at Florida, the 6-foot-7, 225-pounder was

saddled behind threefuture NBA players,two of which operat-ed in the frontcourtin the Swamp.

After seeing play-ing time sparingly asa true freshman onthe Gators’ nationalchampionship teamin 2005-06, Mitchelland his support

group knew it was time to make a move.“I knew that minutes were a problem at

Florida,” said high school coach BobCimmino. “I know that he had spoken with[Florida] coach [Billy] Donovan, and itlooked like neither side was going to budge,so Jon had been very familiar with Rutgers.He took an unofficial visit there before goingto Florida.”

But before Mitchell found himself in a pre-carious situation in Gainesville, Fla., and beforehe went on to gain a cult-like following in justunder two seasons at Rutgers, the senior for-ward’s largest exodus came on a bicycle.

As a dedicated youth in Mt. Vernon, N.Y.,Mitchell made a short trip on his bike to Mt.Vernon High School during the summer forCimmino’s basketball camps.

Mitchell stayed so late putting up jumpshots in the gym that Cimmino, who coachednow-Detroit Piston Ben Gordon in the samebuilding, promptly lost his patience.

“When you said, ‘Time to go,’ you wantedeverybody to leave,” Cimmino said. “And thiskid Jon just wouldn’t get out of the gym. So Ithought he was a really annoying 15-year-old,and I was mad at him. And then as soon as I

Turnover by turnover and one questionablefoul call after the next, everything seemed to

work against theRutgers women’s bas-ketball team last nightagainst South Floridaat the Louis BrownAthletic Center.

And if a blowout loss a few games ago wasnot enough of a wakeup call, the Scarlet

Knights’ narrow 52-46 win over a one-win BigEast team should suffice.

“It means everything,” head coach C.Vivian Stringer said of her team’s ability tobattle back down the stretch. “This was oneof those games much like DePaul where wejust had to battle back. … You always want tosee a team that fights back, and I thought thatwe did.”

A light skirmish between the two teamsunder the hoop following a hardnosedrebound under the Bulls’ basket cappedSouth Florida’s fall from grace in the

contest, as the Bulls blew a 17-point lead inthe second half.

With USF on its heels and her team in themiddle of a 22-5 run with 5:51 to go, juniorforward Chelsey Lee entered the game andgave the Knights their first lead since the firsttwo minutes of the first half.

The Miami native scored the team’s nexteight points, went a perfect 4-for-4 from thecharity stripe and took USF by storm, allwhile playing with four fouls.

Last-minute goal lifts No. 23 Knights over TempleBY JOSH BAKAN

CONTRIBUTING WRITER

A game won on a last minute shot isgenerally something to celebrate. Butwhen it comes in the first game of the sea-

son, the Rutgerswomen’s lacrosseteam views thatvictory as a learn-ing experience.

With 1:21remaining in the final period yesterday, theScarlet Knights had the ball after a timeout.

Senior midfielder Marlena Welsh hadthe ball on the right side of the field andpassed out of a double team to sophomoreStephanie Anderson.

Anderson got fouled with the ball andmade her foul shot with 39 seconds left. Butdespite coming out with the 11-10 win, theKnights looked for a better performance.

“The past three years that we played[Temple], we’ve usually had a gap inbetween the scores,” Welsh said. “That’skind of what we were expecting today. Wehave to learn from that and treat every teamlike they’re the No. 1 team.”
