Gregory S. Blimling, vice president ofStudent Affairs.

“Students on Livingston were veryconcerned, and they wanted theUniversity to invest in the quality of thebuildings and upgrade the services andprograms on the campus,” Blimling said.

The Livingston Dining Hall, the ren-ovated student center and lounges areamong the changes to the renovatedLivingston campus.

Marc Cunha, a Livingston campusresident, said when she saw Livingstoncampus less than a year ago, she knewshe wanted to live there.

“When I found out I was going to beliving on Busch [campus], I was upsetbecause I wanted to be put onLivingston,” said Marc Cunha, a Schoolof Engineering first-year student.

The lounges, a food court thatincludes a Dunkin Donuts, Sbarro’s,and café, as well as the Rutgers Zone, anon-alcoholic sports bar, all showinvestments and consideration for stu-dents’ wants and needs, said LeaStewart, Livingston campus dean.

“The Student Center was actuallymotivated by students saying it wasabout time to do something, so theywent and protested down at Old Queenscampus and said enough is enough,”Stewart said.

One campus hotspot is theLivingston Student Center’s RutgersZone, which of fers a billiard pooltable and an assortment of arcadegames as an option for students to

Department strivesto fix issues withnew bus operations

BY MATT MATILSKYCONTRIBUTING WRITER

After problems during the beginning of the semester,Jack Molenaar, director of Department of TransportationServices, asked students for opinions on how to improve hisdepartment’s efforts.

Molenaar said the switch from bus provider Academy toFirst Transit was cost effective in terms of a lower hourlyservice rate, but more bus drivers were hired as a result.

Problems stem from training drivers and delays fromprotests in downtown New Brunswick, he said.

“We try to respond as quickly as possible. That helps uswith training and getting us through this problem we’ve beenhaving with some bad drivers,” he said at Monday night’sEngineering Governing Council meeting on Busch campus.

Other changes, including cameras at the bus stops moni-toring traffic, automatic stop announcements and morebuses overall, give Molenaar high hopes for more productiveoperations in the future.

But he said he values the opinions of students who expe-rience the buses day to day.

“Every now and then I do make changes based on someinput I get,” he said.

Minru Hwang, University Affairs Committee chair forEGC, said Molenaar was responsive to students duringthe meeting.

“Now that it’s later in the semester and the buses aren’t ascrowded, he was able to say how we could progress further,”said Hwang, a School of Engineering senior. “When some-one mentioned keeping the A bus running later, he said thatcould be an option.”

Ishan Desai, a Class of 2012 representative for the counciland a School of Engineering senior, said the often-crowded Aand H bus lines are a large source of frustration for students,especially when commuting to council meetings.

But Molenaar said there are more buses runningfrom College Avenue to Busch than bus routes servicingthe rest of the campuses. Though, he promised to con-sider decreasing instances of layovers and running theA line later.

Residence Life officials report that there are less student complaints about living on Livingston campus as a resultof on-going construction projects, which will provide improved facilities and amenities.

Language degrees help students’ professional prospectsBY LISA MARIE SEGARRA

CONTRIBUTING WRITER

With eight different languagesoffered as majors at theUniversity, some students findthat a language degree could openup more career opportunities.

“You can go into just about any-thing with a major in [a] language.You can use it in business or inteaching,” said Mia Romano, a grad-uate student in the Department ofSpanish and Portuguese. “Manystudents also study a language sothat they can study abroad.”

While teaching is a popularcareer choice among languagemajors, there are other dynamiccareers to enter with a languagedegree, said Marion Yudow,director of the University’s WorldLanguage Institute.

“It can be used to go into thecorporate world, business,healthcare, social services or

anything else involving interna-tional relations,” she said.

Brianna Prego, a School ofAr ts and Sciences first-yearstudent, said she wants to con-tinue studying Spanish so herknowledge in psychology couldreach farther horizons.

“I’ve been studying the lan-guage since second grade, andI have worked very hard to getwhere I am in the languagetoday,” she said. “I’m planningon majoring in psychologypaired with a Spanish minor. Iwould have the ability to helpmore people.”

Although the Universityoffers majors in languages likeChinese, German and Russian,some students see a degree inEnglish as dynamic becausemany employers value the criti-cal thinking skills they learn.

“In my view, English majorsare desirable because they are

prompted to think criticallyabout concepts, create new onesand apply them analytically andlogically through thesis state-ments in papers,” said RyanAlford, a School of Arts andSciences junior.

Alford believes critical think-ing skills are valuable for all stu-dents when moving forward intheir career searches.

“All people should think criti-

cally, not just English and otherliberal arts majors,” he said.“Other majors like biology onlyask for already accepted conceptsto be understood and may beapplied while an undergraduate.It’s very linear.”

Yudow said language majorsgain a variety of skills alongwith the ability to speak anoth-er language.

“Learning another languageimproves overall cognition. Itcan help in learning othermaterial aside from the lan-guage,” she said. “It helps toknow and understand anotherculture. This is a global society,meaning you can run into peo-ple that speak dif ferent lan-guages every day.”

Students can also betterunderstand dif ferent culturesthrough opportunities of feredat the University’s StudyAbroad Program, Romano said.

She said language majorsshould immerse themselves inanother countr y’s lifestyle,while studying the languageand experiencing the culture.

“I would recommend study-ing abroad because [they] getto see another culture and thatexperience will help themwhen looking for a job lateron,” she said.

Students could also study alanguage without choosing itas a major or minor, but by taking a course in a particularlanguage, Romano said. Forhelp, students can look to the language labs for various resources.

“The language labs havebooks that students can look at and study from,” she said.“Students can also record them-selves speaking and listen to itlater so they can improve theircommunication skills.”

The University and University of Medicine andDentistry, New Jersey-Robert Wood JohnsonMedical School (UMDNJ-RWJMS) researchers dis-covered the makeup of the necessary protein tocombat viral infections such as influenza, hepatitis C,West Nile, rabies and measles.

The protein component, RIG-I, creates a signalwithin a cell that stimulates anti-immune and anti-inflammatory defenses, according to a NewBrunswick Patch article.

“Understanding innate immunity to viralinfections is crucial to developing drugs that canfight viruses or control inflammation,” said

Joseph Marcotrigiano, an assistant professor inthe Department of Chemistr y and ChemicalBiology, in the article. “Having this foundation isextremely important.”

Before the schools’ research, there was a lackof information about RIG-I and its potential totrack down viral infections within the humanbody, said Smita Patel, a professor of biochem-istry at RWJMS.

“A failure of RIG-I to identify viral RNA can lead toalterations of the cell, including cell death, inflam-mation, autoimmune diseases and cancer,” Patel saidin the article.

Researchers said this is the primary initiative todevelop therapies and treatments against viral infec-tions and the threat of it infecting healthy cells,according to the article.

Barbara Gerratana, a program director in theDivision of Pharmacology, Physiology and BiologicalChemistry of the National Institutes of Health, said theschools’ work offers never before seen studies aboutmolecular structures of viral infections and RIG–I.

“We have a deeper understanding of how thehuman body fights viral infections a structural basisof the development of new anti-viral therapeutics,”she said in the article.

“This is definitely myfavorite campus,” said JaimeBrown, a School of Arts andSciences junior and RutgersZone employee.

Stewart said students are alsoresponding well to the newLivingston Dining Commons.

“The dining hall is amazing,probably the best I’ve been to,”said Roberto Polanco, a Schoolof Engineering first-year stu-dent. “People told me Buschwas the best, but after goingthere I felt [the new dining hall]was better.”

Livingston also offers nutri-tional awareness to students whowant to learn more about healthyeating habits, Stewart said.

“I think there are a couple rea-sons for this change,” said DavidRedlawsk, poll director and pro-fessor of political science at theUniversity. “With Christie out ofthe picture, New Jerseyans don’thave to think about him as apotential candidate.”

Redlawsk also said Obamahas been defending his positionsmore so than before.

A major issue Democrats andsome independents agree with isObama’s American Jobs Act, andhis aggressive defense of it,Redlawsk said.

Additionally, the poll foundresidents of the state consistentlydid not want Christie to run forpresident, which Redlawsk saidwas due to a variety of reasons.

“Those who like [Christie]want him to stay in the state anddo his job,” he said. “Those whodon’t like him — they are a dif-ferent story. They, mostlyDemocrats, are afraid he mightbe a strong challenger toPresident Obama.”

Had the governor jumped intothe race, voters would have a dif-ficult decision: supporting the“home” guy or a Democraticpresident, Redlawsk said.

Reactions from University stu-dents and N.J. residents varied.

“My opinion of Obama hasn’treally changed,” said Vanja Vlajnic,a School of Arts and Sciences jun-ior. “I don’t think that he haschanged anything drastically. Ithink he’s been doing an OK job.”

Vlajnic said he expected thetwo politicians to act rather thantalk. He believes there is no basisfor change in opinion of eitherone of them until they accom-plish something.

“Everybody talks, but Ihaven’t really seen any changesin the job market or the econo-my,” he said. “I just think a lot ofpeople with a lot of politicalpower are talking a lot, but thereis no real change.”

He said job creation has so faronly been a buzzword rather thana fact.

“Until anything actuallychanges,” Vlajnic said. “I don’tthink we should think any differ-ently of anyone until they accom-plish what they said they would.”

Stewart said the additional trees,benches and landscape designs res-onate a community atmosphere

“It’s so nice. College Avenuehas of a more city look, but this issmall [and] homey. [With] thetrees and everything, I think it def-initely makes a difference,” saidAisha Khansia, a School of Artsand Sciences first-year student.

Blimling anticipatesLivingston’s apartments to be fin-ished by the fall of 2012.

“There will be two bathrooms,four single bedrooms, a stainlesssteal kitchen with a dishwasher,individually controlled heatingand air conditioning, wirelessInternet, a fitness center in everybuilding with a courtyard in theback,” Carbone said.

Amanda Kabbabe, a School ofArts and Sciences first-year stu-dent, said the continued con-struction has been an issue espe-cially in terms of parking and aes-thetic appeal.

“I live in the North Towers,and the way my room is facingyou can hear it — it wakes you

up early in the morning,” shesaid. “It’s pretty ugly, and Ihave no idea what’s beyondthis point.”

But Kabbabe said she isexcited for what is still to comeand understands that once theproject is done, it will be worththe inconvenience.

“If I had one complaint itwould be the construction,there’s a lot of re-routing andstuff, but with the new housing,people are really excited aboutLivingston,” she said. “There is anew atmosphere going on.”

Carbone said there are futureplans to renovate and develop thecampus, but she does not have adeadline of when all constructionwill be completed.

“It’s certainly not convenientfor everyone,” said Larry Porter,senior landscape architect withthe Office of Facilities andCapital Planning. “I work onLivingston campus, so I knowwhat the students have to gothrough, but with every projectthere are going to be inconven-iences, and we’re trying do thebest we can.”

he approved of the president’sjobs plan.

“I haven’t agreed with most ofObama’s plans so far, but this newone is different,” he said. “My opin-ion of him has definitely gone up.”

He remained skeptical withregard to Christie’s decision notto run for president.

“Personally, I think he is abully, and his decision not to runmay seem like the decent thingfor him to do, but I think he feelstoo important for it,” Hua said.

He said he would not be sur-prised if Christie ran in 2016 dueto his popularity.

Others supported Obamasince the beginning, and believehe should have more than oneterm to prove himself, as theEagleton poll found was the casefor half the state’s population.

“My opinion has sort of stayedhigh. Even though he has disap-pointed me, I don’t think he hashad enough time to impresseverybody yet,” said KathyO’Brien, a N.J. resident.

Christie’s decision not to runwas well founded, she said. Hehad not done his job in NewJersey and he would not do a suf-ficient job on the federal level.

“I think he’s been horriblesince Day 1,” she said. “I don’t heshould run for president and Idon’t think he should be gover-nor either.”

Jean Darius, of East Orange,said he agrees with the generaloutrage at Christie’s cuts in edu-cation and pensions.

“I have noticed the peoplearound me being angry with hiscuts to education and pensions,and I don’t think he is doing agood job,” he said.

He said Christie’s decision tostay home was best to him.

“I think he thought about itand in the end decided he mightnot go far in the election,” Dariussaid. “He chose the safe path.”

The Eagleton Institute ofPolitics polled 903 adults, includ-ing 821 registered votersbetween Oct. 6 and Oct. 9. Thenumbers point toward Obama’sincreased support partly due toChristie’s dropping out of thepresidential race and his aggres-sive stance on job creation.

“We also see some evidencethat both Democrats and manyindependents are happier withObama now as he more frequent-ly defends his positions andblames Republicans for the grid-lock in Washington,” Redlawsksaid in the poll.

SEBS to re-evaluate student curriculumBY KIERSTEN ZINNIKAS

Slumped with hectic classschedules, some School ofEnvironmental and BiologicalSciences students face a fewobstacles when it comes tojuggling their schoolwork.

“Our majors are extremelydemanding,” said RichardLudescher, School ofEnvironmental and BiologicalSciences dean of AcademicPrograms, to the SEBSGoverning Council on Mondayin the Cook Campus Center.

The school is reexaminingthe core curriculum for its stu-dents majoring in School of Artsand Sciences-related subjects,since they have a difficult timebalancing their classes betweenthe two schools, he said.

Ludescher proposed addingmore hybrid and online classes,enabling those who commutecampus-to-campus to be moreflexible with their schedules.

He said this idea is a possi-ble win-win situation for bothstudents and staf f membersbecause he believes it couldalleviate the problem of over-crowding in classrooms.

School of Environmentaland Biological Sciences stu-dents are also limited on studyabroad oppor tunities sincethey cannot devote a chunk oftheir time to travel, he said.

While revamping the cur-riculum could help fix thisproblem, Ludescher wants toexpand the amount of studyabroad programs for students

Commuters at the meetingwere also concerned about con-gested parking lots on campus.

After hearing complaintsabout many unused handi-capped parking spots in the Blot, Molenaar said he plans toeliminate 30 reserved spots,freeing up 70 extra spots thatstudents could buy parkingpasses to use.

Kevin Scala, a School ofEngineering senior, said Molenaaraddressed most of his concernsand thought students should notget angry over these issues.

“Basically, it’s not so muchthe bus system that has a prob-lem — it’s misinformation,” hesaid. “There’s a reason behindthe way [Molenaar] runs his pro-gram, but students decide tocomplain about certain thingswithout finding answers.”

For example, Scala said stu-dents are afraid the residencehall construction on Livingstoncampus would take away manyparking spaces.

The Middlesex County Prosecutor’s Office began anaudit of NBPD’s files, reviewing all internal affairs com-plaints from that time period. Any incidents for which fileswere missing or had not been investigated were revisitedfor a complete investigation.

The NBPD changed its internal affairs procedures toensure accuracy and security of record keeping during itsinvestigations, Kaplan said.

From now on, whenever internal affairs complaints arefiled, the NBPD must notify the Middlesex CountyProsecutor’s Office, which will review each investigationand the department’s findings before closing each case.

Rowe was charged with third-degree tampering withpublic records or information and fourth-degree obstructingthe administration of law or other governmental function.

Rowe worked as a police officer for the city since Aug.20, 1990 and earned $123,202 annually before his sus-pension without pay. He was assigned to Internal Affairsfrom Sept. 23, 2002 to March 17, 2008, but on Aug. 4,2011 resigned.

He faces a maximum sentence of six and a half years inprison and would be banned from holding any public job,if convicted.

Rowe made false entries in NBPD records indicatingthat 81 internal affairs investigations he was assignedwere completed while never actually conducting them.

The complaint also alleges that he removed, concealedor destroyed some files from the 81 investigations.

Kaplan said neither of the two officers involved in theSept. 22 fatal shooting of 46-year-old Barry Deloatch werethe subject of any use of force investigations while Rowewas assigned to the unit.

Mayor Jim Cahill will outline several reforms hisadministration has to improve and enhance oversight andpublic awareness of Internal Affairs investigations ofNBPD officers during a 1 p.m. press conference today atthe NBPD headquarters.

Group works to promote National Disability Month BY SONJA TYSIAK

STAFF WRITER

To commemorate the monthof October as National DisabilityMonth, a local organization isshedding light on the disabledcommunity in an effort to displaytheir capabilities to employers inthe job market.

Alternatives Inc. providesopportunities for those withdevelopemental disabilities tomove away from institutional liv-ing and develop their own placein the community, according tothe organization’s website.

“We try to raise awareness inmany ways … so that the com-munity can see the strides indi-viduals with disabilities are mak-ing,” said Kirk Lew, senior man-ager at Bridges to Employment, adivision of Alternatives Inc.

Alternatives Inc. helps varioustypes of people at different func-tioning levels, said Steve Kalucki,director of Human Resources atthe organization.

“If they have a fairly low cog-nitive level, they may be placedinto a group home with 24-hourassistance or some can live inde-pendently where they arechecked on,” Kalucki said.

Meanwhile, Bridges toEmployment tries to educatedisabled people on how to be

State residents reviewed theredistribution of N.J. represen-tation yesterday, and one of 13Congress members will losehis or her job.

The loss is a result of con-tinued stagnant growth of thestate population over the last10 years, according to annj.com article.

For residents, this meansthat hundreds of thousands —possibly even millions — ofpeople in New Jersey will bebrought under anotherCongressman’s representation.

“In state legislative redis-tricting, everything’s at stake,”said John Farmer Jr., formerState attorney general in thearticle. “So control of theLegislature is at stake. Controlof Congress really isn’t atstake in this.”

As a whole, one less seatwill not impact the status ofCongress, said Farmer, deanof Rutgers School of Law-Newark and the state redis-tricting commission’s tiebreaking, nonpartisan mem-ber in the article. Instead,Texas will receive three extraseats in their Congress.

COMMUNITYDISCUSSES STATEREDISTRIBUTION

functioning members of society,he said.

“Our program is very special-ized to the individual,” saidDirector of Development andCommunications Anita Feiner,who works with the fundraisingand marketing facets of the pro-gram. “[Individuals in our pro-gram] get the training suited forthem for as long as they need it.”

Feiner said she believes the dif-ference between Alternative Inc.’sprograms and other special needsprograms is that clients with hercompany are impactful individualswho make a difference in whatthey do, unlike employees taskedwith menial labor.

Their clients work in retail,accounting and bookkeeping,she said.

“The whole country is experi-encing this horrible unemploy-ment rate, but at the same time,if our clients are given a chance,they have a good chance of stay-ing on the job,” Feiner said.

Of all the clients Bridges toEmployment helped, 70 percenthave worked in their job positionsfor over a year, which is above thenational average, she said.

The program is a supportedemployment vendor, contractedby the state to provide vocationalservices to individuals with dis-abilities, said Lew, a University

alumnus. His division alsoreceives grants to service clientsthat are deaf and hard of hearing.

The state must refer a clientthrough the Division ofDevelopmental Disabilities inorder for the client to take part inthe program, Kalucki said.

There are fundraisers every-one can support, and AlternativesInc. has its own Facebook page,Feiner said.

Lew believes the communityneeds to be more educated andaware of the disabled community.

“There is a place for all personswith disabilities,” he said. “Weoften teach people to think outsidethe box when trying to place a per-son into a job.”

The program works with morethan 175 individuals to findemployment by looking for jobmatches that fit the individual’sskillset, Lew said.

As a whole, Bridges toEmployment and Alternative Inc.tries to raise awareness on a grass-roots level by educating employ-ers on the benefits of hiring peo-ple with disabilities, he said. Theymove the focus away from the dis-ability and to the abilities of theindividuals they serve.

Lew believes employers andthe general public have becomeaware of the potential that lies inpeople with disabilities and

their abilities within the pastfew years.

“A reasonable accommodation[of a disabled man] can be assis-tive technology like CapTel tele-phone equipment or a physicalmodification, like elevating a tablefive inches so that a client in awheelchair can sit comfortably,”he said.

Bridges to Employmenthelped some of their clients findjobs this year that include securi-ty guards, FedEx customer serv-ice representatives and homehealth aides, he said.

“This demonstrates how posi-tive job matches can be found withhard work, the client’s desire towork and innovative thinking,”Lew said.

Feiner and Kalucki said theyboth tell employers to give theirclients a chance, to give their pro-gram a chance to train these indi-viduals and then let them do theirbest to succeed.

Bridges to Employment alsoassists students with a variety ofdisabilities find employment andretail jobs, Lew said.

“We provide real-world train-ing and take the students toemployers in the local job mar-ket, where they get a chance towork at job sites like Marshalls,Patriots Stadium and the YMCA,”he said.

STORY IN UNIVERSITY

QUOTE OF THE DAY

R ecently obtained White House materials describe in detail howsenior members of President Barack Obama’s administrationused Republican party presidential nomination candidate and

former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney’s landmark health care lawas a blueprint for the federal law Romney himself called “Obamacare.”Some of Romney’s own advisers even helped devise the plan, oftenscorned by Republicans.

Romney’s own words, however, have been, “I will repeal Obamacare.” This not only is hypocritical of the former governor, but it is also

illogical. Romney himself ushered the Massachusetts health plan, onlyto be followed by his negative stance on the federal issue. This hasbeen very plainly done to please the electorate. But in the end, it willhurt those who view the health care plan as practical, and it will hurtRomney’s image for those who understand the issue for what it is.

The hypocrite Romney claims that the “one-size-fits-all nationalhealth care system” would not work. He has, at the same time, dutiful-ly defended the Massachusetts law he signed.

“He does me the great favor of saying that I was the inspirationof his plan,” Romney said of Obama. “If that’s the case, why didn’tyou call me? …Why didn’t you ask what was wrong? Why didn’t youask if this was an experiment, what worked and what didn’t. … Iwould have told him, ‘What you’re doing, Mr. President, is going tobankrupt us.’”

Romney’s own plan has been hailed as a national success ever sincethe moment he signed into law during a lavish ceremony in 2006. Sen.Ted Kennedy, a longtime supporter of health care reform, backed thereforms happening in Massachusetts.

Romney himself said, “Massachusetts once again is taking a giantleap forward,” as he signed it.

So why side with a Republican ideal of “providing for oneself and noone else?” Romney’s first step of reforming the health care law in hisown state was the correct one. Now he just has to bring this reform tothe national sphere, and sadly, so far, he has only complied with right-leaning views.

T he minority facingthe most adversity inour country is the

group of people with commonsense. Yes, people with com-mon sense are sadly a minor-ity, and yes, they often facethe greatest difficulties tosimply survive in our culture,with its highly frustratingclose-mindedness and fervent conviction that its igno-rant beliefs are always right. The people of this over-looked minority are often the ones hopelessly fightingagainst the Goliath of American media and lobbying,which are shaping country policies and brainwashingthe masses to satisfy their own agendas.

The Israeli-Palestinian conflict is not as compli-cated as pro-Israel advocates try to make it seemjust because they don’t like hearing the simplicity ofits resolution. In fact, many aspects of the conflictcan be addressed with pure common sense. Forinstance, it is an undisputed and universal commonsense that Israel should cease andreverse its illegal colonization ofthe Palestinian territories, includ-ing and especially its constructionof Israeli settlements.

That is especially commonsense when said settlements areinhabited by violent extremists, asthe world realized last Fridaywhen a group of Jewish vandalsdesecrated both Muslim and Christian graveyards,calling for “death to all Arabs.”

The colonization of Palestine did not only beginwith the illegal establishment of Israel onPalestinian land in 1948, but has continued to eataway at the already meager and unsubstantialPalestinian territories throughout the six decades ofthe conflict. The Palestinian territories of today areonly a fraction of what they started as due to theunyielding expansion of Israel. By the end of 2004,there were almost half a million settlers living in theWest Bank in the government’s attempt to annexthe land as part of Israel. It is beyond a doubt thatthat number has increased substantially by now dueto the countless settlement construction projectssince then.

The construction of settlements in Palestinianterritories has been Israel’s ploy in establishing“facts on the ground,” or planting a Jewish popula-tion in the West Bank to gain a claim over the land.That way, when Palestinians grieve that they havebeen uprooted from their homes in Palestine, Israelcan accuse the world of doing the same thing toIsraeli settlers if they are demanded to removetheir settlements.

It is for this reason that it is imperative for Israelto halt the construction of Israeli settlements in thePalestinian territories. Every second that Israelstalls engaging in peace talks until the Palestinianswithdraw their demand of halting Israeli settle-

Kanye West shoulddo more than visit

Romney’s stanceappears hypocritical

S porting a gold chain and two bodyguards at his sides, KanyeWest visited “Occupy Wall Street” on Monday afternoon tovoice his support for the protests. Russell Simmons joined West

to fight the power of Wall Street brokers and what their practices havedone to the American economy. The question is — how much of a pub-licity stunt and how much of a true support for a socio-economic move-ment was this? Is celebrity support always legitimate?

West, the prolific figure he is in rap culture, simply put, could domore. He is not part of the 99 percent. He is a music mogul who in thepast 10 years has amounted enough money to do more than be seen atthe hippest event in New York City.

West and his caliber of celebrities would do much more if they fund-ed this movement (unless they already do anonymously, in which case,The Daily Targum could at the very least write another editorial).Simmons tweeted about his and West’s descent upon the protests, cre-ating even more anticipation. Their support could still be symbolic, butonly as long it is supplemented by more than a celebrity publicity stunt.

The reality of it is, politicians or Wall Street workers aren’tclosely following West’s presence at the protests. Even if theywere, it would hardly make a dif ference. West and Simmons donot have the credibility necessary to bring about economicchange, or at least, they do not have it yet. More involvement isrequired and even more dedication. Simmons, who is a knownpolitical activist, and West may have the opportunity to be heardby the people who make the decisions if their involvement wasmore than it was. It appears then they were just joining a seriesof celebrities who have played at the protests or have just beenspotted at the “party.”

Recently, the band Radiohead famously didn’t visit thefans/protesters. And Jeff Mangum, vocalist of Neutral Milk Hotel, andrapper Lupe Fiasco both visited Zuccotti Park at some point in themovement’s history. Others included Susan Sarandon and TimRobbins. But it seems all the more likely that their appearances didnothing more than give newspapers something to write about ratherthan force any change.

Now that Simmons and West’s visit is done, they can go back totheir mansions and watch the protests on TV. The real participantsremain on the streets.

ment construction on theirland, Israel is gaining moreof a foothold in the WestBank. Israeli PrimeMinister BenjaminNetanyahu claims thatIsrael will only engage inpeace talks “without pre-conditions.” However, thedemand to halt Israeli set-

tlements is not a precondition, but rather a univer-sal standard that Israel complies with internationallaw if it wants to engage in civil negotiations.Labeling the demand to halt Israeli settlements asa “precondition” is hiding a bigger and more dan-gerous issue — that an international transgressoris blatantly disobeying international law and refus-ing to be held accountable for its actions.

Article 49 of the Fourth Geneva Conventionstates, “The Occupying Power shall not deport ortransfer parts of its own civilian population intothe territory it occupies.”

Israel is breaking internationallaw on the issue of settlementsalone. This does not count thecountless war crimes and possi-ble crimes against humanity thatIsrael has been accused of com-mitting by the UN Fact FindingMission on the Gaza Conflict in2009 or Israel’s failure to abide bythe numerous Security Council

and General Assembly resolutions calling for thesecurity of the Palestinian people.

To say that Palestinians are just trying to makeexcuses from engaging in peace talks by demandingthe halt of settlements is a grave oversight. The cre-ation of Israeli settlements is an attempt to shift thedemographic of the Palestinian territories, an issuethat is the whole point of the conflict in the firstplace. When Jews are being bussed into Palestinianterritories to create illegal settlements and thenthose Jewish settlers incite relentless violence andattacks on the Palestinian population, the only resultis more Palestinian deaths, more Palestinianrefugees and a greater Israeli presence with moreland that isn’t theirs. The Israeli government does-n’t care about engaging in peace talks with thePalestinians, because either way, it will continuedoing exactly what it wants to do.

And then as Israel continues to colonizePalestinian land while the Palestinians watch withtheir hands tied behind their back, the Americangovernment criticizes the Palestinians as beingstubborn and uncooperative for not simply comply-ing with what Israel wants to do.

There are still areas to ironout, Schiano said.

Te used to handle kickoffduties, but Doerner took over theresponsibilities after transferringfrom a California junior college.

Doerner kicked one out ofbounds earlier in the season andfailed to kick one end over endagainst Pittsburgh.

“We shanked a kick, kickedone out of bounds,” Schianosaid. “It’s hard to play defensewhen you start at the 40. That’sa short field.”

Doerner consistently putPittsburgh’s of fense at a disad-

vantage Saturday, when itstarted deep in its own territo-ry with regularity.

Doerner put 13 punts insidethe 20-yard line through five games compared to four touchbacks.

Teddy Dellaganna onlyplaced 12 in the same territorya year ago, when he suf ferednagging injuries and split timewith Kyle Sullivan. TheKnights allowed a blocked puntlast year in a loss to NorthCarolina, but Doerner has yet to punt under duress this season.

“It doesn’t necessarily have tobe all these superb plays,”Schiano said. “You just can’t havethose bad ones.”

The Knights have to deal withthe loss of sophomore forwardKene Eze, who left the Cincinnatigame after a collision with a defend-er left him with a head injury.

The Knights’ leading scorerreturned to the sidelines, butwas unable to re-enter thegame. His status for tonight’smatchup is questionable.

Donigan is confident if Eze isunable to play, others on the teamcan step up in his absence.

“Hopefully we get him backpretty soon, but you just moveforward,” Donigan said. “I mean,you are going to lose other guysin the course of the season, too,so you can’t just dwell on it. Youhave to move over. Guys have tostep up and fill in the responsibil-ity and hopefully get the results.”

WORD ON THE STREET

The Rutgers women’s tennisteam competed well this week-

end at theU S T A

Invitational, going 13-8 in sin-gles and 5-4 in doubles.

After some important victo-ries, the Knights and headcoach Ben Bucca believe they deserve to be consideredamong the best teams in the area.

“We’ve definitely estab-lished ourselves and will con-tinue our tradition of being onefor the top teams in theregion.” Bucca said. “We’replaying against some of thebest competition, and we’reholding our own. So far thisseason we’ve laid a very strongfoundation of being able tocompete with the best.”

The tournament took place inNew York City at the same com-

plex where the U.S. Open is host-ed and showcased some of thebest teams, ranging fromWashington, D.C. to Boston.

Although this was the firsttime in a few years the Knightsdid not have ateam in the maindraw finals, threeof their playerswere able toreach the semifi-nals, somethingthe Knights have not accom-plished in theireight years at the tournament.

The Knightsalso won each ofthe 10 tiebreakersthey competed inover the weekend.

“We had a very strong per-formance,” Bucca said. “Lookingat it comprehensively across theboard, and at our performanceas a team, this is definitely the

most number of wins we’ve hadat this tournament.”

Sophomore Vanessa Petrini,freshman Lindsay Balsamo and junior Michelle Green, who each made it to the

semifinals intheir respecteddraws, led theKnights’ success.

As for doubles, what was once anAchilles’ heel isquickly becom-ing a strength.

The Knightscontinued toplay well againstthe tough com-petition. SeniorJ e n n i f e r

Holzberg and Petrini evendefeated the same Brown teamthat beat them in their last meeting.

“It’s very clear that doublesis going to be a key to our suc-

cess this year.” Bucca said.“The pursuit of playing excel-lent doubles is one that wehave to continue. Everyone isreally working hard and we’rein great shape. So it’s really just a matter of continu-ing with the work ethic thatthey’ve displayed so far andcontinuing to develop a strongteam spirit.”

The Knights travel toColumbia on Tuesday to facetheir Ivy League opponent. In themeantime, Bucca and his teamwill attempt to have another suc-cessful week of practice.

“I have to believe that thisgave everyone on this team alot of confidence,” Bucca said.“We just played tennis the rightway this weekend. We playedwith confidence and a serious-ness of our purpose when we’reon the court, and I think thatthose are little intangibles thathelp to make a dif ference inour play.”

The statistics do not lie. Of the past three teams the

Knights scored multiple goalsagainst, the Cardinals were the onlyopponent against which Rutgersturned penalty corners into points.

The corner sets continue tocome together for Rutgers, notonly against opponents likeLouisville, but also against goal-keepers Sarah Stuby and VickieLavell in practice, Tchou said.

“The goalkeepers gave ussome feedback, in general, aboutour shooting. Our opportunitieswere much more dangerous,”she said. “We weren’t alwaysscoring, but we were gettinghard shots on the cage.”

ward Nicole Gentile and sopho-more Gia Nappi. Gentile and Nappiscored 11 and five goals, respec-tively, and accounted for morethan half of the Knights’ goals.

This year it is Nappi and jun-ior forward Carlie Rouh leadingin scoring.

The pair combine for ninegoals, nearly half of the team’s21 goals.

“Our two scorers are Gia andCarlie. They’ve been going sohard in practice, making surethat every corner and everyshot that they take is where thegoalie is not,” said junior for-ward Chelsea Rota. “That hardwork is standing out both inpractice and on the field.”

In the Knights’ four gamessince snapping their losingstreak, Nappi and Rouh contin-ued their scoring ways. ButRutgers succeeded on theof fensive end because ofgreater unification.

“The midfielders are reallyinvolved in our attacks inside the25, which really helps because wecan’t just rely on the forwardsdribbling into the circle andbeing kind of crowded in front ofthe keeper,” Tchou said.

Rutgers has six games toscore 10 goals in order to sur-pass its scoring total from theprevious season.

Five of the Knights’ 21 goalscame Aug. 26 against JamesMadison in the season opener. Rutgers did not scoremultiple goals in a game againuntil Sept. 25 in a 3-1 winagainst Bucknell.

The Knights returned toPiscataway a different team thatday, one that consistently scoredmultiple goals in a game.

They also returned a teamwell on pace to surpass lastseason’s scoring total and con-tinue their pursuit Fridayagainst Providence.

Steady sophomore usesoffseason to study sport

BY BRADLY DERECHAILOCONTRIBUTING WRITER

As with any runner, BriannaDeming entered last Friday’srace with the hope of being the

first oneto cross

the finish line. What separatedher from the other 132 competi-tors during the MetropolitanChampionships was the factthat she translated her goal tothe course to capture thewomen’s 5K title.

“It felt so good,” Deming saidof winning the race. “I knewgoing into it that I wanted to win,so it was amazing to cross the lineand finish in first place.”

While Deming’saccomplishments onthe course this seasonare evident, her suc-cess translated fromhard work and dedica-tion. Coach JanMerrill-Moran noticedher work ethic eversince she first lacedup last fall for theScarlet Knights.

“Her work ethic has alwaysbeen there,” Merrill-Moran said.“Over the last year she has reallybecome a student of the sport.She has learned more about thetactics of racing and how to useher energy effectively through-out the race. It’s exciting to see.”

Deming improved sinceearning team MVP honors last season.

The Webster, N.Y., native ledthe Knights in each of their threemeets this season.

The Knights know how dedi-cated she is to helping herselfand everyone perform the bestthey can.

“It’s awesome,” said juniorAnjelica Brinkofski. “This is myfirst year becoming a main com-ponent of the team, and she isreally pushing and helping mealong the way. She has alwaysbeen a great athlete and very ded-icated since Day 1.”

Merrill-Moran also seesDeming’s commitment to her teammates.

“She is the No. 1 runner onthe team right now,” she said.

“She is a team leader. Even in thetraining she has started to comearound and be an example. It’sfun to watch.”

Part of the reason whyDeming and the rest of the teamsaw success early this season istheir commitment to Merrill-Moran’s training.

Deming credits Merrill-Moran — or “Coach Jan” as theteam knows her — as a drivingforce in the team’s strong out-ings this year in her secondseason as assistant coach.

“We definitely have gotten alot more training this year,”Deming said. “She has gottento know us more, so she knows

what I need as a run-ner to be better. Youcan see the positiveenergy, and everyoneis just doing so well.”

As a pharmacymajor, the sopho-more takes academ-ics as well as hertraining seriously,and Merrill-Moranunderstands the chal-lenges that go with it.

“She’s a pharmacy major, sothere is a lot of time manage-ment going on,” Merrill-Moransaid. “We’ll have to wait andsee how the studies comearound, but so far, so good.”

Deming looks to continueher impressive performancesSaturday at the ConnecticutInvitational. The meet is thelast event before the Big EastChampionships in Louisville,Ky. Deming and the rest of theteam are excited to see howtheir success transfers to therigorous competition the con-ference presents.

“I think with all of theimprovements this year, wewill be better prepared for theChampionships as long asever yone stays healthy andkeeps doing what they havebeen doing,” Deming said. “Idon’t see any reason why we shouldn’t improve from lastyear. It’s inspired me and ever yone else to workharder and try to be as good as the other runners in the Big East.”

Savon Huggins believes heis much more comfor tablecarrying the ball now than hewas through the first fourweeks of the season, but healways appeared in controlaround the goal line.

Huggins carried the ball 26times for 47 yards throughthe Rutgers football team’sfirst four games, but foundthe end zone three times fromshort yardage. He repeatedthe act against Pittsburgh,when he had his best gamewith 10 carries for 42 yards.

Redshir t freshman JawanJamison received the bulk ofthe carries in the early going,but goal-line carries went toHuggins. It was incidental,according to head coach GregSchiano, but it may notremain that way for long.

“It’s just kind of workedout that way,” Schiano said.“He has shown a knack to getthe ball in the end zone,though. Some backs can dothat. He may become the goal-line back.”

Huggins scored from 1 and7 yards out in the openeragainst Nor th CarolinaCentral, from 3 yards againstOhio after Jamison temporari-ly went down, and againstPittsburgh with a 3-yard run.He is the only running back toscore after five games.

“I just keep my feet moving,drive,” Huggins said. “You can’tdance in the hole. You make onemove and go. My mentality is toalways fall forward, always fallforward, always fall forward. Ifyou do that, good things willcome out of it.”

The St. Peter’s Prep productaverages only 2.5 yards percarry, and that comes after heaveraged 4.2 against Pittsburgh.

He ran for 32 yards in theseason opener, but barelyplayed against North Carolinaand Syracuse and fumbled twiceagainst Ohio. He had 16 carriesfor 15 yards in that time, but saidhe remained confident, redis-covered patience and improvedhis pad level — all of which wereevident against Pittsburgh.

NAVY QUARTERBACKKriss Proctor presents match-upproblems — he is 6-foot-1, 200pounds, can run and throw, andis left-handed — but the triple-option offense may not force asmany defensive adjustments asit once did.

While Rutgers ran a nickel-heavy defense in years’ past to putmore speed on the field, the off-season personnel changes tookcare of the speed for Schiano.

“We may not have to do thatwith the people we have nowplaying,” Schiano said.“Basically we are in a nickel allthe time with Khaseem [Greeneat linebacker], but not becausehe is a small guy, because hecan run well.”

But Proctor can also runwell, and he leads the

NAVY TURNED THE BALLover only six times throughits first five games, which willpose a problem to a Rutgersteam that relied on defensivetakeaways thus far.

The Scarlet Knights’ bestopportunity comes in disrupt-ing pitch plays, but the offensemay have to pick up some of the burden and becomemore productive.

“I have felt the last coupleof weeks that we were goingto really pop, but we haven’t,”Schiano said. “I guess Ishouldn’t say that. We scoredsome points against Pitt, butit was in a dif ferent way.”

’Nova arrives at Yurcak spot below RU in standingsBY VINNIE MANCUSO

CORRESPONDENT

The Rutgers men’s soccer team sits insecond place in the Big East’s Red Divisionstandings after a pivotal win Sunday

against Cincinnati. But the Scarlet

Knights face aquick turnaroundas Villanova, theteam one spotbelow the Knights

in the standings, pays a visit to YurcakField tonight with a chance to seize theNo. 2 spot.

With such little time between games,Rutgers focuses more on its own playersthan those on the Wildcats’ roster.

“It is going to be hard with the shorterturn-around time, but we have to be pre-pared,” said head coach Dan Donigan. “Alot of it is just going to be the health andmaintenance of our players and their bod-ies and being able to go again.”

Donigan noted the preparation for theWildcats and the team’s remaining sched-ule is less about strategy and more aboutkeeping his players healthy and able to perform.

“It is not so much tactical stuff at thispoint in the season now — it is about recov-ery,” he said. “It is about getting ready tocome out here and perform at a very highlevel against another very good opponentcoming into town.”

Villanova arrives in Piscataway withgoals of putting the Knights’ recovery tothe test.

The Wildcats (4-4-4) did not drop adecision in their last four games. Theirfour-game streak includes a 1-1 tie withDePaul and a 3-0 win against Seton Hall,good for four Big East points.

But the Knights roll into tonight’smatchup with momentum of their own.

Rutgers enters fresh of f a win againstthe conference-foe Bearcats, againstwhom the Knights scored two unan-swered goals for a comeback win.

Before that, Rutgers traveled to No. 2Mar yland, where despite a loss, thedefense held the Terrapins to a scorelesstie in the second half.

San San Te and Rutgers head footballcoach Greg Schiano met during the offseasonto talk about the senior kicker’s consistency.

Te, the ScarletKnights’ fourth-year

kicker, converted 67 percent of his careerfield goals and missed five field goals lastseason from longer than 40 yards.

Through five games this season, Teleads the nation with 12 converted fieldgoals. But his 75 percent conversion rate is tied for worst among the top 10kickers nationally.

Three of Te’s four misses came Oct. 1at Syracuse, although he kicked thegame-winner in the second overtime.

“I knew what I did wrong on the onesthat I missed at Syracuse,” Te said. “Idon’t really feel like I was out of rhythm.It was just some small technical things Ineeded to take care of.”

Knights neargoals despitebrief struggles

BY JOSH BAKANCORRESPONDENT

Entering the season, the Rutgers fieldhockey team wanted to surpass the 30 goalsit scored last year.

With seven consecutive losses and as manygames of scoring one goal or less to begin the

year, the vision lookedmore like a pipe

dream. But the Scarlet Knights (3-9, 1-3) grewinto a different team, one that scored two ormore goals in three of its past four games.

Now the idea of surpassing 30 goalsappears more and more realistic.

Rutgers entered Saturday against Louisvilledisplaying a different looking offense than itdid earlier in the season — one that prioritizedquality over quantity.

The Knights only registered eight shots,but they converted goals on two penalty cor-ners against the Cardinals.

“Our success carried over into Louisville,where we got two goals off corner sets,” saidhead coach Liz Tchou. “If you look at our stats,that’s really where we’ve been having trouble.”
