Working to represent and educate all of the stu-dents in the state, the New Jersey United Students dis-cussed a new initiative Saturday to give in-state tuitionto undocumented citizens.

The organization, made up of delegates from N.J.colleges and universities, introduced a number of newinitiatives including getting support for a bill thatwould make education more affordable for studentsliving in the state without citizenship, said SpencerKlein, president of NJUS.

“We work to bring together student governmentsand organizations to work to improve student acces-sibility, security, privacy, funding and quality of lifein New Jersey,” said Klein, a School of Arts andSciences senior.

The in-state tuition bill would allow undocumentedstudents in New Jersey to receive in-state tuitioncharges provided they have completed three years ofhigh school or attained a GED in New Jersey, saidJavier Mena, a NJUS member.

Mena, a Rowan University senior, said the bill facesshaky opposition from some senators who are wary ofthe possibility of signing off on a bill similar to oneintroduced last year, which was tabled.

Store manager Paul Kourtis said thestore, which is open 24 hours and sevendays a week, focuses on providing cus-tomers with fresh and healthy products.

Instead of going out for drinkson Friday night, some studentsand their friends faced off in adodge ball game to help raisefunds for those affected byHurricane Sandy.

Chris Judge, a Belleville resi-dent, said he signed up to playdogdeball because he under-stands how people’s liveschanged after the storm Fridaynight in the College Ave Gym.

“My aunt lives in Lyndhurstright next to a river. Her housegot flooded really bad,” he said.“She got about 12 feet of water inher basement. ... Her carpet andall of her furniture is done. Shehas to start over.”

The game raised more than$2,000 for the American RedCross, as more than 80 peoplesigned up to play the game andabout 20 people came to thewatch the event.

Each person paid $5 to eitherplay or watch the game, which wascoordinated by the University’schapter of the New Jersey PublicInterest Research Group.

Julie Kamerman, media coor-dinator for NJPIRG’s hunger andhomelessness campaign, saidhosting a dodge ball game was acollective idea.

“We thought it would be agood way [for people] to getsome frustration out. It’s excit-ing, it’s something you can play

hard in and something wethought people would show up towatch because it’s entertaining,”said Kamerman, a School of Artsand Sciences first-year student.

Kamerman said it was refresh-ing to see so many people showup to the event.

“A lot of people came up andsaid ‘I’m not athletic and I don’twant to play dodge ball butthank you for what you’redoing,’ and they gave us dona-tions,” she said.

The event included a halftimeshow with a live band and a per-formance from the Scarlet KnightsCheerleading and Dance Team.

Kamerman said the event wasnot only intended to spread aware-ness for Hurricane Sandy relief butalso bring attention to the issue ofhunger and homelessness.

“Our goal is to raise over$4,000 in the next few weeks forhurricane relief,” Kamerman said.

Kamerman said she becameinvolved with NJPIRG becauseshe wanted to make a differencein society.

“The issue of hunger andhomelessness is something that’snot really paid attention to,” shesaid. “A lot of people don’t realizethat the majority of the homeless,especially locally, are children.It’s an issue that not only needshelp but awareness as well.”

Anne Adekoya, event coordina-tor for the hunger and homeless-ness campaign, said planning andorganizing the event was not easy.

“It takes a lot of hard work anddedication to put an event likethis together in such a shortamount of time. Most of the suc-cess of this event is driven by thepassion of wanting to help thiscause,” said Adekoya, a School ofArts and Sciences sophomore.

She said the most importantpart was to get the word out sothat people would show up.

“We did something called‘dorm storming.’ We went to as

many dormitories as we couldand we knocked on all the doorsto create visibility and get ourmessage out there,” she said.

Crystal Mor, NJPIRG campuscommunity organizer, said theevent was a fun way for student togive back to the community.

“We wanted people to unite. Alot of people came as single play-ers and were put onto a team.They are meeting new people,stepping out of their comfort

zones and having fun together,”said Mor, a University alumna.

The event also served as away to promote the upcomingHunger and HomelessnessAwareness Week.

“It will include canned fooddrives, direct service volunteer-ing and a faculty benefit dinnerwhere the proceeds will go direct-ly to hurricane relief,” Mor said.

Elisa Hoehe, a graduate stu-dent in the School of Social Work,played in the game and said itwas exciting and intense.

“I guess I thought it was goingto be just one game, but you’reout there playing for 15 minutesstraight. You get to play as manygames as you can in 15 minutes,”Hoehe said.

Hoehe invited 14 of herfriends from Belleville to comeout and play. She said it was easyto get them to come because itwas for a good cause.

“When I first saw someonepassing out flyers, I didn’t pay itmuch attention I just thought ‘Oh,it’s just another college event’ butwhen I saw the words ‘Sandy’ and‘dodge ball’ on the flyer, I wasimmediately interested,” she said.

Hoehe said she the experiencewas worth way more than $5.

“On a scale of 1 to 10, I ratemy experience tonight as a solid10. I would have paid up to $20just to participate,” she said. “Itwas a great first experience, and Iplan to participate in more eventson campus.”

land, even if we weren’t bornthere.” About 69 percent ofIndia’s population survives onless than $2 a day, according toThe New York Times.

Devansh Pandey, public rela-tions chair for AIR, said thegroup aims to provide an outletfor Indian-Americans to re-expe-rience their native culturethrough the yearly show.

“When I went home, my cul-ture was everywhere,” saidPandey, a School of Arts andSciences sophomore. “But onceyou went outside, it’s not thesame anymore. What we’re try-ing to do is give everyone oneevent that gives them the chanceto embrace all their culture.”

Beta Chi Theta, a SouthAsian-interest social fraternity,acted in a self-producedBollywood skit. Soham Khetani,a fraternity member, said goingback to his roots on stage feltmeaningful.

“There’s not too many ofthese big shows, and the AIRshow is the biggest South Asianperformance on campus peryear,” said Khetani, a School ofEngineering senior. “Being inthis definitely makes you see apart of who you are.”

But Indian culture is extreme-ly diverse, with 438 spoken lan-guages in the country, accordingto The Economist.

The event served as an oppor-tunity to unite students frommany different areas in India,Pandey said.

“I feel it’s good to get every-one together,” Pandey said. “Noteveryone knows everyone else’slanguage and rituals. Everyonedoes something different, so youcan’t say India is one culture.”

The University-based Ragaand Garba Association, a cultur-ally affiliated dance group, per-formed a traditional dance fromGujrat, India. The folk-stylearrangement involved dancerswho used sticks to visuallyenhance their choreographedmovements, said Shivani Patel,co-captain of the team.

Raga is the only South Asiandance group in the state, andhas been a part of the showsince 2002.

“AIR gives us stage experi-ence,” Shivani Patel said. “Weare very affiliated with AIR, soevery time AIR has a show wealways look forward to coming.”

AIR had been planning sincemid-July, with rehearsals run-ning consistently for eight weeksprior to the show, Shivani Patelsaid. The group hosts eventsevery three to four weeks thatprovide continued exposure toIndian culture.

The AIR show also served asa publicity tool. Beta Chi Thetafinally decided to participateafter being on campus for twoyears, Khetani said.

“We wanted to show our-selves,” Khetani said. “It wasactually a lot of fun. It workedout pretty well, and we’rehappy that we got to represent

“Now as we’re progressingmore, it’s becoming more equal,”Barodia said. “India is becomingmore western. They’re adaptingtheir culture from us over here.”

AIR plans to coordinate with thePakistani Student Association nextspring in their annual collaborativeevent, Salaam Namaste, that seeksto ease tensions from the long-

standing rivalry between India andPakistan, Shivani Patel said.

“We want the two organizationsto come together to help peopleunderstand what happened andovercome the feeling of tensionbetween the two countries,” ShivaniPatel said. “That’s why we team upwith PSA and have multiple work-shops and speakers come in.”

Klein said the effort to passthe bill would include getting sup-port from not only New Jerseysenators, but also from universitypresidents throughout the state.

He said no president has comeout in support of the bill becauseit would reduce tuition revenue.

“The reason we obviouslysupport this is [because of] themoral question, ‘Do you reallydeserve to profit off our clearlyflawed immigration policies?’”Klein said.

The organization also pro-posed to create a campus advo-cate on NJUSmember institu-tions’ campusesto represent stu-dents in cases ofa d m i n i s t r a t i v ep u n i s h m e n t ,Klein said.

The campusadvocate wouldwork in conjunc-tion with non-profit lawyer groupsto help defend students in caseswhere administrative actionseems overwhelmingly stackedagainst them, said Akin Olla, anNJUS member.

“There hasn’t been a lot ofadvocacy for students in thecountry, let alone New Jersey,”Olla, a Rowan University seniorsaid. “No one will fight for stu-dents but students.”

The organization’s VoterRegistration Drive was also atopic of discussion, with theeffort being hailed as a resound-ing success, said John Aspray, anNJUS staff member.

Around 6,300 students wereregistered because of the drive,which was also the first of its kindin New Jersey, said Aspray, aUniversity alumnus.

Aspray said voters in the statefaced problems when trying to

make their voices heard, such asvoter intimidation at the polls a ndbeing told they were not regis-tered when they were.

Marios Athanasiou, parlia-mentarian for NJUS, said he wit-nessed voter disenfranchisementfirst-hand when he went to vote inNorth Brunswick.

“We were having to actuallystep in and say, ‘Can’t they get aprovisional ballot?’ … it’s a shamebecause we know it’s happeningin places we can’t be,” saidAthanasiou, a School of Arts andSciences sophomore.

P r o v i s i o n a lballots written onpaper are easilym i s p l a c e d ,destroyed, oroverlooked andmight not evenbe counted,Aspray said.

In the case ofNew Brunswick,

the question of whether or not thecity’s Board of Education shouldbe elected is 13 votes away frombeing passed, and provisional bal-lots were not tallied up at the timeof the meeting, he said.

The drive was also instru-mental in spreading awarenessabout the Building Our FutureBond Act that benefits highereducation facilities in NewJersey, he said.

The act, which passed onElection Day with a margin ofmore than 25 percent, providesstate grants totaling more than$750 million to universities,according to nj.com.

Klein said this money is espe-cially important for researchinstitutions like the University.

“This is really handy forRutgers, a research university,”he said. “$300 million is set asidefor research.”

Aspray says some students encounteredproblems at polls on Election Day

GROUP DECIDES ONCHECK RECIPIENT

The University’s chapter ofStudents for Justice in Palestineannounced last week in a pressrelease that it plans donate $3,050to the American Near EastRefugee Aid, a Washington-basednongovernmental organization.

Former student organizationBAKA: Students United for MiddleEastern Justice, raised the moneytwo years ago at an event where250 people donated funds for theU.S. Boat to Gaza, a relief effort tohelp break the Israeli naval block-ade of the Gaza strip through send-ing supplies.

When it came time for theUniversity to send the check out,the University told the group theyhad to change the donation recipi-ent because the U.S. Boat to Gazalacked the proper tax-exempt sta-tus to qualify as a charity, HodaMitwally, a University alumna whoserved as the public relations offi-cers for BAKA in 2010, told TheAssociated Press.

Though BAKA no longerexists, the issue was managed bythe student organization Studentsfor Justice in Palestine, who met

“Having The Fresh Grocerbecome part of the mosaic of NewBrunswick allows us … an oppor-tunity to think and eat healthy,enjoy good food and above all,have it all right here in armslength to purchase,” saidBrenowitz, administrative assis-tant at the Jane VoorheesZimmerli Art Museum.

Although she described thesupermarket as gorgeous, NewBrunswick resident LouiseWilliams said she was not con-vinced about the store’s claims ofhaving healthier, lower-priced foodoptions.

“Compared to other [stores] theprices are the same. I don’t know ifit’s any healthier because all theother stores have cooked food andthe same things. It’s good, but astore is a store,” Williams said.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

INDIANAPOLIS — A massiveexplosion sparked a huge fire andkilled two people in anIndianapolis neighborhood whereabout three dozen homes weredamaged or destroyed, authori-ties said yesterday. The powerfulnighttime blast shattered win-dows, crumpled walls and couldbe felt at least three miles away.

Aerial photographs of theonce-tidy neighborhood of one-and two-story homes showed atleast two had been reduced toblackened pits of debris. Otherhomes had sections gutted by fireor holes in their roofs or exteriorwalls. Siding dangled from theoutside of other homes, andcrumpled garage doors hungfrom houses nearby. Pieces ofwood and other building materialslittered the street and surround-ing properties.

It wasn’t clear what caused theblast Saturday, about 11 p.m.Firefighters responding to a callabout a single house fire were sur-prised by a much bigger blaze.The fire centered on four homes,two that were leveled and two oth-ers that only had the framesstanding by the time the flameswere extinguished, Deputy ChiefKenny Bacon said.

The damage extended twoblocks in every direction, he said,and fire officials didn’t initiallyrealize the extent of it in the dark-ness. City and fire officials saidyesterday afternoon that abouttwo dozen homes were uninhabit-able and would have to be torndown. Several more had severedamage but could be fixed.

Residents described a loudboom that shook their homes,blew out windows and collapsedceilings. They rushed outside tofind a chaotic scene with flamesrising against the Indianapolisskyline to the north.

Bryan and Trina McClellanwere at home with their 23-year-old son, Eric, when the shockwave from the blast a block awayshook their home. It knocked outthe windows along one side oftheir house, and their first instinctwas to check on their grandchil-dren, two toddlers who were in

the basement. One held his earsand said, “Loud noise, loud noise.”

Eric McClellan said he ran tothe scene of the explosion andsaw homes flat or nearly so.

“Somebody was trapped insideone of the houses, and the fire-fighters were trying to get to him.I don’t know if he survived,” hesaid, adding that firefightersordered him to leave the area.

Once the flames were out, fire-fighters went through the rubbleand damaged homes one at a timein case people had been leftbehind, Fire Lt. Bonnie Hensleysaid. They used search lights untildawn as they peered into theruined buildings.

Along with the two peoplekilled, seven people were taken to

a hospital with injuries, Baconsaid. Everyone else was account-ed for, he said.

Four of the seven who wereinjured suffered only minorinjuries, fire officials said. Theydid not provide details on the oth-ers or identify those killed.

An investigation was underway, said Bacon, who would notrule a gas leak in or out.

Dan Considine, a spokesmanfor Citizens Energy, said peopleusually smell gas when there is aleak, but the utility had notreceived any calls from peoplesmelling gas in that area.

Alex Pflanzer, who lives nearthe homes that exploded, said hewas asleep when it happened.

“The windows and frames andeverything came through the houseand my wife started screaming andI didn’t know what was going on.And my first thing is, I just, I thoughtsomeone was breaking in the housebecause the alarm was going off. SoI just grabbed my gun and startedrunning around the house.

“I saw our front door was openand then I saw the glow of the fireand I walked outside and all thehouses were on fire,” he said.

Dan Able, a 58-year-old stateemployee who lives across thestreet from the two homes thatexploded, said his first thoughtwas that a plane had hit his house.

The blast was “a sound I’venever heard before, it was soloud,” he said. His windows blewout and a bedroom ceiling col-lapsed on his wife, Jan. He pulledher out, and they went outside.

“Both houses across the streetwere on fire, basically, just rubbleon fire,” he said.

DOHA, Qatar — Syrian anti-government groups struck adeal yesterday under intenseinternational pressure to form anew opposition leadership thatwill include representativesfrom the country’s disparate fac-tions fighting to topplePresident Bashar Assad’sregime, activists said.

The opposition has beendeeply divided for monthsdespite the relentless bloodshedin Syria and repeated calls fromtheir Western and Arab support-ers to create a cohesive and rep-resentative leadership that couldpresent a single conduit for for-eign aid. The agreement,reached yesterday after morethan a week of meetings in theQatari capital of Doha, couldboost efforts to secure interna-tional support — and potentiallyweapons — that will be crucial inthe war to oust Assad.

“We have agreed on thebroad platform and all (opposi-tion) parties, without any excep-tion, support this initiative,”said Ali Sadr el-Din Bayanouni,a former Syrian Muslim

Brotherhood leader who tookpart in the talks.

He said the new leadershipwill be called the Syrian NationalCoalition for Opposition andRevolutionary Forces.

The delegates elected yester-day the Islamic preacher Maathal-Khatib president of the newcoalition. Leading opposition fig-ures Riad Seif and Suheir Atassiwere elected vice presidents.

Mustafa Sabbagh was votedthe coalition’s secretary-general.

Al-Khatib said oppositionfighters are “searching for freedom,” claiming that if any carried out improper acts, it was because of the“regime’s brutality.”

He said the Syrian rebels willavoid acts of revenge in thefuture, noting that many sol-diers security officers are “hon-orable people whom we callthem upon to defect from thecorrupt regime.”

In a bid to be more represen-tative and curb the influence ofexiles considered out of touchwith events on the ground, thenew coalition will includeactivists from inside Syria as wellas rebel commanders.Deadly blast devastates

JERUALEM — Israeli forcesstruck targets in the Gaza Strip yes-terday, killing one Palestinian andwounding more than 30 others asmilitants launched dozens of rock-ets in some of the heaviest fightingthe area has seenin months.

The flare-upincreased pressureon the Israeli gov-ernment to put anend to the violence,which escalatedover the weekendand could turn intoa major conflagra-tion just twomonths before the country’s gener-al election.

Israeli leaders quickly amped uptheir rhetoric, warning Gaza’sIslamic Hamas rulers they will pay aheavy price should they allow rocketfire toward Israel to continue.

“The world must understand thatIsrael will not sit idly in the face ofattempts to attack us,” said IsraeliPrime Minister BenjaminNetanyahu. “We are prepared tointensify the response.”

Low-level cross-border fighting iscommon in the border area, butclashes escalated Thursday nightwhen an explosives-packed tunnelunder the Gaza-Israel frontier blewup, in what the Israeli military called

an attempt by Palestinian militants tokill or kidnap soldiers. Palestinianssaid the blast was a roadside bombto avenge the death of an 11-year-oldboy who was shot dead earlier in theevening during an exchange of firewith Israelis.

Then on Saturday, militants firedan anti-tank missileinto an Israeli mili-tary jeep patrollingthe border fence,wounding four sol-diers — one critical-ly. Casualties of thatorder are rare forthe Israeli militaryin clashes withGaza militants.

In response,Israel launched airstrikes that havekilled six Gazans and woundedalmost 40. Palestinian rocket andmortar barrages have wounded fourIsraeli civilians and kept a largeswath of the country running forcover. The military said more than80 rockets had landed in Israel and12,000 Israeli students stayed homefrom school on Sunday.

Yael Talker, a resident of KibbutzReim in southern Israel, said herfamily spent the night in a makeshiftshelter in their home.

“Each time the alarms ring, wehope it’s the last,” she said. “Ourpatience is running out ... when wesleep, we dream about bombs. Itmust stop.”

N ew Brunswick voters who cast provisionalballots on Election Day will be given thechance to defend their votes tomorrow

during a Board of Elections public hearing at 77Bayard St. The hearing will take place at 5 p.m.,and concerns the outcome of a contentious ballotquestion, labeled the Municipal Question onTuesday’s ballot.

Through the holding of an opening hearing, thecity has given voters an important opportunity —and those af fected should make it a point to attend.

The Municipal question is a measure that, ifapproved, would allow New Brunswick residentsto elected members to the city’s school board. In aprevious editorial, this board opined that thechange — which would move the city away from acurrent Type I district, under which the mayorelects members to the board, to a Type II district— would be a positive step toward reforming edu-cation in New Brunswick. While we still stand bythat opinion, we would like to stress that, no mat-ter which side of the issue you stand, attendingtomorrow’s hearing as a provisional voter is worth considering.

This is true in light of two things. First, theissue, particularly this year, is a contentious one.On election night, just 116 votes separated themeasure from its passage. Yet, even more spectac-ularly, after counting 381 absentee ballotsWednesday, that margin came down to just 13votes. Clearly, the issue is a divisive one, and itsoutcome could certainly ride on the votes of those

provisional ballots currently uncounted. At thehearing, members of both campaigns will decidewhich ballots will count, and provisional ballot vot-ers should be there to stand by their votes.

Additionally, the divisive nature of this year’sschool board question becomes even clearer whenone considers the fact that, as of now, the questionis the closest it has ever come to being approved.In 1993, 1996, 1998 and 2000, the measure wasturned down by significantly greater margins thanthis year’s, with 950, 485, 800 and 945 votes sepa-rating suppor t from opposition, respectively,according to New Brunswick Today. Hard cam-paigning leading up to election day by both supportand opposition parties likely contributed to theclosing of this margin.

More importantly, however, provisional votersshould attend the BOE meeting because their vote,as long as it’s counted, could very well determinethe outcome of the ballot measure. With HurricaneSandy displacing residents and students from theirhomes and preventing many from making it to theirdesignated polling locations, it is likely that moreprovisional ballots were cast this year than in yearspast. Given that provisional ballots, which are usedwhen a voter’s eligibility is called into question, canbe easily disqualified or discarded, physical pres-ence tomorrow is important.

Again, the decision to attend tomorrow’s hearingshould be made irrespective of a voter’s stance. Ifanything else, provisional voters should attend tomake sure their vote is counted and not simplythrown away.

news a few months back when he was crit-icized for pressuring his miners to donateto Romney and stand behind Romney inwhat later became a campaign ad — andall of this he did during a work day whichhe refused to pay them for. Murray’s argu-ment, that Obama’s ‘War on Coal’— a fan-tasy ‘war’ created by the conservativemedia in an effort to discredit the facts(that coal jobs have been at a 15-yearhigh) — looks to the impartial viewer more like a stunt to make Obamalook bad.

But this is not the only example of thissort of behavior. In Las Vegas, a businessowner fired 22 ofhis 114 employeesbecause Obamawon the election.What reason didhe have? He reallybelieved thatObamacare regu-lations would hurthis business finan-cially. But this is a bogus claim, one thatwas recited by Romney on many occa-sions but simply isn’t the case.

In truth, firing employees because theCEO believes, falsely, that somethingmight happen is not prescient but illegal. Ihope lawsuits will be filed in bothinstances. There is no word on whether ornot those employees were Obama sup-porters, which is perhaps even worsebecause it suggests that Republicans andDemocrats are suffering because certainindividuals are trying to make political

statements with the lives of hardworkingAmericans. And it doesn’t stop here.

On Facebook, the group ‘PositivelyRepublican’ posted up a status, whichread “Click ‘Like’ if you think every con-servative business owner ought to lay offone employee — maybe one who votedfor Obama? — to show Democrats andthose who vote for them that small busi-nesses are the backbone of America.” Yes,you read that right. Since I first saw this,the group — soon after receiving over athousand ‘likes’ from its members — hasremoved the post.

I hope those reading this understandthat I am nota t t a c k i n gRepublicans as ageneralized whole.Many RepublicansI know find thisbehavior utterlydisgusting andsickening as I’msure many of my

readers — hopefully all of you — wouldagree. But there is something to be saidabout the eschatologies of lots ofRepublicans — especially those mostinfluenced by conservative media outletslike Fox News—when they feel the meansto an end is to destroy the lives ofAmericans, thereby self-fulfilling theirown prophecies about the end of theworld. In other words, some Republicansare self-sabotaging their own futuresbecause they believe — falsely — thatthere is no future for them.

In fact, it is so bad that some peoplehave even petitioned for their state tosecede from the union. Some have threat-ened to move to Canada to avoid the“socialist worldview” to which theyearnestly believe Obama and his support-ers subscribe (though I’m not sure wherethey think they’ll evade ‘socialism’ inCanada, with its universal health care,strong social welfare systems, and seculargovernment.) Many Republicans — 63 per-cent, according to Politico.com — believeObama is a socialist. This and the idea that40 percent of Americans — and about 17percent of Americans in general, as of July26 — still believed that Obama is a Muslimis completely absurd. As an acquaintanceof mine opined aptly, the belief that Obamais both a 1960s Alinsky-style socialist and aradical Muslim is just completely astound-ing. The only way someone can believethat a single person can hold both of theselatent and contradictory worldviews isthrough ignorance, indoctrination and fear.

For those reading this article, I hopeyou recognize your own eschatologies. Weall make choices depending on how wesee the world and how we interpret con-temporary events, and those choices haveconsequences. Recognizing our presuppo-sitions about others is key to stoppingdecisions that could otherwise hurt thou-sands of people.

established New Brunswick supermarketsis frankly awful. Sure, you can find a fewfavorites like the London Broil or center cutboneless pork chops, but then you have toworry about sanitary and quality issues. Iwon’t name the supermarket, but on aSaturday, I was sold eye round steaks thatexpired on Friday. Awful, just awful. I’ll giveyou one clue as to this store’s identity:Andy Cohen’s got your 411.

I had given up on cooking for manymonths and was eating out all the time,which is expensiveand tiring. My culi-nary fire reignitedon Friday, however,because NewBrunswick under-went a radical trans-formation. Our citywent from being afood desert, as it’scalled, to a food paradise. An establishmentcalled The Fresh Grocer opened up rightaround the corner from the Easton AvenueApartments, and it is a godsend — a full-sized upscale supermarket with a vast arrayof high quality foods at reasonable prices.Think Shoprite on steroids. Think an afford-able version of Whole Foods (or WholePaycheck). Think Wegman’s, which is theBMW of supermarkets. This is what wehave in walking distance of campus. I recent-ly purchased a single-serving N.Y. Stripsteak for four bucks from the butcher thereand made myself a meal that would have

been worthy of a midrange steakhouse. Forfour bucks, that’s ridiculous. Their butchersection has more than enough quality ingre-dients at great prices to make any would-becook go gaga. But the store’s whole selec-tion, whether consumer packaged goods orvegetables, is generally awesome. There iseven a fine array of Hispanic foods. NewBrunswick residents of any ethnic or socioe-conomic background really have no goodreason to avoid The Fresh Grocer.

Don’t let me let you think The FreshGrocer is only forus who aspire to bechefs. The bakerysection is awesome.Why? Three words:cannoli andnapoleons. If youdon’t know whatthose are, go to TheFresh Grocer right

now and get them. They’re in the refriger-ated bakery section, behind the sneezeguard. They are the best pastries everinvented by man. The Fresh Grocer alsohas a lot of prepared foods such as sushi,sandwiches and pizza that you can getwhen you’re not in the mood to cook. Likeat Whole Foods and Wegman’s, there’s apretty side area with tables where you caneat breakfast, lunch, dinner or a midnightsnack as though the supermarket were arestaurant. The Fresh Grocer is open 24hours a day, seven days a week, by the way.I have not tried the store’s prepared foods

yet, but based upon what I’ve seen thereand my extensive knowledge of bread andcold cut quality, I’m sure the subs are atleast comparable to what you can get atJimmy John’s.

Let me be fair and balanced. I’m anindependent critic, you know. What’s thenegative? Well, the milk section at TheFresh Grocer was rather anemic in termsof its selection. It wasn’t the overwhelmingwall of chocolate milk varieties like I get atShoprite. That’s about it. This place reallyis that good. I’m being completely objec-tive when I say this place feels like a kissfrom heaven. I’m being completely objec-tive when I say that walking around TheFresh Grocer is like walking around ablissful fantasyland of culinary treatsmeant for kings. The amount that TheFresh Grocer will positively impact me isbeyond hyperbole.

The Fresh Grocer is a supermarket thatwill radically change the quality of life of off-campus University students for the better.It’s right across the street from the train sta-tion at 100 Kirkpatrick St. Go, and beamazed. Also, when you first enter, get your-self a Fresh Grocer card immediately, so youcan enjoy discounts with your first purchase.

T he Daily Targum published mycolumn Oct. 25 titled, “Politicaleschatologies and the angry

voter.” If you haven’t read it, you probablyshould — in fact, if the events followingthe election are any indication, it shouldprobably be required reading.

Prior to the election, one of the maintalking points for the Republican Partywas job creation. They argued, amongother things, that the GOP had the key tocreating jobs. Romney, who never quitedivulged his job creation plan to anyone,consistently told his constituents hewould add millions of jobs if elected. Hedid this while also arguing that the gov-ernment is not responsible for job cre-ation — go on and just try to wrap yourheads around that contradiction.

But it seems that this great plan of jobcreation only mattered to the Republicansin charge when their candidate was on top(or, rather, when they believed — con-trary to Nate Silver and the actual data —their candidate was on top). Oh, how themighty have fallen. Now that Obama hasbeen reelected, job creation takes a backseat to revenge tactics. Just this pastweek, over 200 employees of MurrayEnergy Corp and UtahAmerican Energywere fired by their CEO Robert Murraybecause Obama won the election. Youmay remember Murray. He made the

IN BRIEF

“We noticed that some of hiskicks were low,” Merrell said. “Iused my jumping ability, and Igot to it.”

Merrell was not the only play-er to turn in a big play withoutthe ball in his hands.

And without those plays, thegame would not have ended witha 21-point gap.

Army did not have muchtrouble moving the ball, espe-cially on its opening drive, a 16-play, 76-yard touchdown push toopen the game.

It had 282 rushing yards onthe day, far more than theKnights are used to giving up.

But two defensive backsturned in plays that negatedmany of those yards.

Junior cornerback Logan Ryanrecovered a red zone fumble, andsenior safety Duron Harmon scoredon a very bizarre fumble recovery.

his best game in a Rutgers uni-form. He finished second toGreene in tackles with 16 andforced a fumble.

“[Waters] was a very vital partin this defense,” Harmon said.“He really showed … [how muchhe has] matured over the season.”

Waters ranks second amongRutgers defensive backs thisseason and is now fifth on theteam with 49 tackles.

He is also now one of onlytwo Knights — Merrell is theother — to have both a forcedfumble and a blocked kick.

Army quarterback TrentSteelman attempted an optionpitch, but Harmon grabbed thepitch instead and ran it 73 yardsfor a touchdown.

“I knew they were runningthe option to my side and some-how, I guess it was a badexchange and [the ball] justpopped up and fell right into myhands,” Harmon said. “I waskind of stunned. I probablystood there for about half a sec-ond and then I just took off andsaw green.”

That was the final score in thecontest, putting the game out ofreach and securing Rutgers’eighth win of the season.

It was also not the first timethe defense has come up with thestops it needed to turn the flow ofthe game in its favor.

“A team can drive all the waydown to our one-inch line, but thatdoesn’t mean they’re crossing ourgoal line,” said senior linebackerKhaseem Greene. Greene ledthe Knights with a game-high22 tackles, placing him third onRutgers’ all-time list for mosttackles in a single game.

MEN’S BASKETBALL GUARDS STRUGGLE IN SEASON OPENER

BY JOEY GREGORYASSOCIATE SPORTS EDITOR

The Rutgers men’s basketballteam had a new season, newfocus and what head coach MikeRice described as a newapproach to preparation.

But none of that prevented theScarlet Knights from looking likethe same young squad that tookthe field last season.

That resulted in a 56-52 lossFriday to St. Peter’s.

While junior transfer WallyJudge had an impressive start tohis career — collecting a double-double with 11 points and 12rebounds — the backcourt didnot provide much support.

Sophomores Eli Carter, MylesMack and Jerome Seagearsscored a combined 15 points on5-for-23 shooting.

When asked about theirperformance, all Rice could dowas chuckle.

“They didn’t play very well,”he said. “They now have tobecome a little bit tougher and alittle bit more disciplined. We’llwork on that.”

The Knights were supposedto take advantage of their addedexperience and their home court

to begin their new season the waythey wanted to.

But none of that materialized.“At the end of the day, we were

supposed to be the better team,”Judge said. “Congratulations tothem for winning. They playedhard. I can’t take anything awayfrom them. They deserve it. Atthe end of the day, we let our-selves down.”

To make matters worse,Rutgers had only two days to fixwhat it saw.

The Knight take the court atthe Louis Brown Athletic Centeragain tonight against SacredHeart in hopes of recovering toenter the win column.

The running theme through-out the locker room after thegame in relation to tonight’sgame centered around oneword — response.

Part of that response beganbefore the game was even over.Rice substituted throughout theentire game, involving 11 differ-ent players.

“[We were] trying to findsomebody who had any tough-ness, to be honest with you,any mental or physical [tough-ness], who had a purpose,”Rice said.

He expects to play a differentlineup tonight against the Pioneers.

Sophomore forward KadeemJack is a likely candidate for open-ing the game on the bench, hav-ing played only eight minutesagainst the Peacocks.

Sacred Heart, on the otherhand, is on the heels of erasing a24-point deficit Saturday to topYale in its season opener.

Rutgers had plenty of troublecontrolling St. Peter’s guard DesiWashington — he led the Peacockswith 18 points — and if Friday isany indication, the Knights haveanother difficult game.

The Pioneers have seniorguard Shane Gibson, who aver-aged 22 points per game last sea-son, and opened this year’s cam-paign with 29 points.

Judge believes the team has to let its opener go andkeep progressing.

“We took a punch, and it hurt,”he said. “We have to respond theright way. Now it’s over, and wehave to go win the remaininggames on our schedule.”

second half — is it going to bethree again?’” said head coachKyle Flood. “And thankfully thatwasn’t the case.”

Jamison likely would have car-ried more if not for a swollenankle, which sidelined him until10:38 remained in the fourthquarter as the game was still tied,7-7. But three straight runs set upa 31-yard touchdown pass tosophomore Brandon Colemanfor the contest’s decisive score.

The route combination — aninside pattern-turned-back-shoul-der-fade — has become Coleman’scalling card.

He scored on identical playsSept. 22 at Arkansas and Oct. 27against Kent State, and it nearlyworked in wins at Tulane andSouth Florida.

“In this game, we were goingto have limited possessions,”Coleman said. “The way the gamewas going — body blows to bodyblows — it was 7-7 most of thegame. I just was waiting for anoth-er opportunity.”

He found it from sophomoreGary Nova, whom Colemanspent hours with during the sum-mer perfecting the route.

The Knights knew the lookthey faced on that second-and-10,and Nova recreated the play heand Coleman ran all summer.

“I don’t think you have to getoutside of your comfort zoneunless you have to,” Flood said. “Ihad confidence even if we puntedit to them we were going to have achance to stop them and keep it a7-7 game until we could makeenough plays.”

One, Jamison’s 16-yard touch-down pass to Coleman on Rutgers’second drive, came early.

Jamison took a toss, saw a pair ofdefenders draped around Colemanand let the 6-foot-6 wideout createhis own position. With the score,Jamison became the first Knightsince Mohamed Sanu in 2010 tothrow, rush and receive a touch-down in the same season.

“That guy is very talented,”Coleman said of Jamison. “He isvery versatile, and he’s been itch-ing at that opportunity.”

It all mattered little when5:51 showed on the game clockin the third quarter. Jamisonsat atop the bed of a trainer’scart while medical personneltended to his right foot.Without him, one drive endedwith a punt. An interception cutthe next one short.

“It felt a little bit like last year,”Flood said of 2011, when Rutgersnursed a one-point lead lateagainst Army.

But the Knights regained con-trol, thanks mostly to 21 unan-swered points in the final nine min-utes. They also did so in the BigEast, where now-No. 20 Louisvillelost, 45-26, at Syracuse, makingRutgers the league’s last unbeatenteam in conference play.

“I don’t see it as a driver’s seat,”said Flood, who had not heard theoutcome before his postgamepress conference. “It’s an extreme-ly competitive league, and for us tobe thinking about any three gameswould be a big mistake.”

The Rutgers volleyball teamhit the road to close out its 2012campaign, as the Scarlet Knightsplayed DePaul in Chicago in arematch from Nov. 3.

The season ended on a sournote for the Knights as the BlueDemons beat them, 3-1. Rutgerskept it close throughout thematch, but came up short withfinal set scores of 25-27, 34-32, 21-25 and 25-16.

The Knights (18-12, 4-11) andDePaul (9-18, 4-10) faced off onlya week ago in a match that endedwith Rutgers squeezing out a vic-tory in five sets. Rutgers lookedfor the same winning result yes-terday, but the Blue Demons hadother plans in mind.

Rutgers’ year comes to atough end after losing consecu-tive contests to cap the season.The Knights hoped to clinchtheir first Big East Tournamentbid in more than a decade.

Once St. John’s defeatedRutgers on Nov. 7, the Knights’chance at a spot was gone.

“The ef for t level for ourteam has always been there,”said head coach CJ Wernekeafter the loss. “It’s never beenquestioned. How ef ficient that ef for t has been, that’swhere at times it hasn’t beeneasy. … It has just come downto when we didn’t execute inbig moments.”

In the fourth and final set ofthe match, the Knights did nothave enough left to extend theirseason to a fifth set. They putthemselves in an eight-point holeat 19-11 and could not recover.

Senior middle blocker AlexJones paced the Knights in thefinal outing of her career with amatch-high 18 kills. Freshmanoutside hitter Alex Lassa con-tributed a double-double with 14kills and 13 digs.

Senior setter StephanieZielinski was back at it again, end-ing her career with a 53-assist

match. It was the 12th time thisseason she surpassed 50 assistsin a contest.

The opening sets providedimmediate action for onlookers asboth had to go to extra serves todeclare a winner.

With the loss, Rutgers andDePaul are tied 5-5 all-time inmatches against each other, withthe last eight meetings coming inBig East play.

Werneke credits his youngerplayers for their play in theteam’s best season in his fiveyears with the program. TheKnights have shown promise forthe future of the program duringthe past few months.

“There’s no doubt that ourunderclassmen played a bigrole during this year, especiallythe freshmen,” he said. “So any-time you can get them experi-ence at the college level, youjust anticipate continuousimprovement. We still need toadd some pieces to our puzzlefor next year, but with the

underclassmen’s performanceand experience this year, theteam looks really good.”

With the season over, Rutgersclinched its first winning recordsince 2004. The squad has themost wins in a single season sincethe 2000 team secured 23. Its fourconference victories are the mostsince the 2005 team recorded six.

Entering the of fseason,Werneke will take some time to reflect.

He sends off his first group ofseniors and looks to a group ofunderclassmen he has seen goodsigns from.

“Obviously [we’re going to]take some time to decompressand process the year,” he added.“Then it’s time to say, ‘OK, whereare we?’ We can reassess things,probably enjoy a little moreinstead of looking back. We’re[18-12] and that’s something thathasn’t happened around here in avery long time. So we can takesome time to soak it all in andkind of exhale a little bit.”

Dane Miller had seen theproblems persist before. Sowhen they resurfaced in theRutgers men’s basketballteam’s season-opening lossFriday to St. Peter’s, the seniorwing knew it would take morethan head coach Mike Rice tosolve them.

had to undo what 18 years ofbasketball had taught his groupof 18- and 19-year-olds.

With his roster virtually intactthis season, Rice might have todo so again.

“We were tr ying to runaway from people,” he said.“Mentally and physically, theydominated our players.”Newcomer Wally Judge heldhis own.

The junior forward, on thecourt for the first time sincetransferring from Kansas State a year ago, managed adouble-double in a team-high33 minutes.

But the most meaningfulticks in the game went by without him, as Judge watchedthe last critical series with five fouls.

“We laid down,” he said.“We beat each other up in prac-tice. … We push ourselves tothe limit, and then we get outhere and a little bit of adversitycomes and we laid down.”

Rice expected more plays torun through Judge — one ofthe Knights’ only consistentof fensive presences — in thesecond half. But abbreviatedplays, lack of execution andother factors forced Judge tocreate his own of fense.

The coaching staff simplifiedits scheme to fit Judge, Ricesaid, but often times, it wasRutgers’ offense as a whole thatlooked simple.

So the rehabilitation processbegins anew. Rice did not expectit following a successful presea-son, but little with the Knightshas gone as planned.

“Somebody’s got to be aleader — not by saying any-thing, not by yelling or cursinganybody out,” Judge said.“Somebody has to take owner-ship for the lack of disciplinethis team has shown.”

Rutgers head men’s basket-ball coach Mike Rice ran into anissue last season with fouls.

As the coach of one of theyoungest teams in the nation, hesaw too many infractions commit-ted that he called “silly” andassured they would decrease nowthat the team is more experienced.

But he did admit the ScarletKnights would stay aggressive,which would lead to fouls.

He did not say how many of theteam’s 15 fouls in Friday night’s 56-52 loss to St. Peter’s were because ofaggressive play and which were not.

But it is likely he was not at allthrilled when sophomore guard Eli

Early foul trouble hampers guard

MEN’S BASKETBALL CARTER SITS MOST OF FIRST HALF

Carter picked up two fouls early,forcing Rice to remove him from thegame for the rest of the first half.

“It’s tough, because [Carter]does mean a lot to our team,” Ricesaid. “I just wasn’t comfortable[leaving him in].”

Even when Carter was playing,he made little impact in the team’sfavor, ending the game with onlyfive points and one assist.

Carter also made only two ofhis 12 shots and turned the ballover three times.

“We [told him], ‘Eli, let the gamecome to you,’” Rice said. “Andunfortunately, he didn’t on severaloccasions in the second half.”

Rice noted the number of layupsCarter had that he failed to convert,which Rice estimated to be three.

Those three made layups wouldhave more than doubled both hispoint total and shooting percentage,as well as given the Knights sixmore points, which would havebeen crucial in what ended as afour-point loss.

Rice said while he did notagree with one of the fouls, thingscould have played out differently.

“How do you respond?” Ricesaid. “We didn’t respondmaturely with a mental tough-ness or a purpose. We just wentout and tried to do everythingon our own.”

shoot the ones we’re not sup-posed to take.”

In a 56-52 loss Rice said hedid not forecast, the ScarletKnights’ halfcourt of fensetrudged through 60 minutes atthe Louis Brown AthleticCenter. The Knights shot lessthan 36 percent from the field,including a 2-for-13 mark from 3-point territory.

But Rice pointed out morelooming issues.

“If you can’t go in and run aplay we talked about doing inthe huddle, then you’re not

with us,” he said. “That’s someof the things we’re going tohave to find. Who’s with us?We’ll star t one by one witheach individual.”

Rutgers (0-1) suf fered froma one-on-one syndrome onof fense, which became a one-on-four problem, Rice said.St. Peter’s (1-0) was happy to oblige.

Despite trailing for themajority of the second half, a 3-pointer from guard YvonRaymond with a minute leftgave the Peacocks a permanent

lead. The loss was Rice’sfourth in two seasons — theamount of time with this team’sroster makeup — to a mid-major program.

The problems were recurring.“It’s the same thing. It’s a

probably a little bit of a lack ofbuy-in,” Rice said. “Right nowwe’re a little bit too individual-ori-ented. I’ll have to fix that.”

The game plan for the Rutgerswomen’s soccer team was simple:control the ball and limit Colgate’sopportunities around the net.

The Scarlet Knights executedtheir plan, defeating Colgate, 1-0,Saturday to advance to the secondround of the NCAA Tournament.

achievement he credits everyonebut himself for.

“I’m very proud of the teamand my coaching staff and every-one around,” Crooks said. “Wejust had one game to get readyfor and everyone did a good jobgetting ready.”

Crooks was impressed withColgate’s talent level, butRutgers’ next opponent providesa bigger challenge.

The Knights take on No. 2seed Virginia in the secondround Friday, with the Cavaliersowning a win against La Salle inthe first round.

While Rutgers continues toprepare to pull off an upset, fornow, the team has time to take inits victory.

“Virginia is one of the bestteams in the country, there is notany question about that,” Crookssaid. “They have been one of thebest in the country for a longtime. There are a lot of chal-lenges coming up, but we aregoing to enjoy it now and really itis a thrill to still be playing.”

are a very good team. It was agreat win, and we came up big acouple of times and fought fromstart to finish.”

Senior goalkeeper EmmySimpkins spearheaded theshutout, registering five saves inthe match, including a game-sav-ing deflection in the 63rd minute.

Colgate for ward JillianKinter shot the ball right infront of Simpkins, but theConcord, N.C., native dove toher left to prevent the Raidersfrom tying the match.

“It was a well-deserved cleansheet,” Crooks said. “She was verygood and when we needed her to

come up big, she did. She had agreat match.”

And while Rutgers’ prepara-tions were to limit Colgate’sopportunities, junior forwardJonelle Filigno said earlier in theweek the team needed to converton shots early to avoid playingcatch-up the whole contest.

After a goal by sophomoreforward Cassie Inacio wascalled back on an offside ruling,Filigno had her chance in the59th minute.

She launched two shots on goal,but did not convert either of them.

Fortunately for Filigno and therest of the team, those missed

opportunities meant little thanksto Amy Pietrangelo.

The sophomore midfielderfound the back of the net in the 20thminute off of a pass from Inacio.Pietrangelo blasted a goal pastColgate goalie Ashley Walsh for theonly score of the game and her sec-ond game-winner of the season.

“Colgate was trying to clearthe ball out and I saw the ballcoming out, so I just hit it with myleft foot,” Pietrangelo said. “It feltgreat. I was happy to help theteam, so it was a great feeling.”

The win marks the sixth timeRutgers has advanced past thefirst round under Crooks, an

performance in Saturday’s 28-7 win againstArmy solidified that.

As the game clock approached halftime,Merrell blocked a field goal that would havebroken a 7-7 tie.

After senior cornerback MarcusCooper had already blocked one Daniel Grochowski kick, Merrell knew he had a good shot at his fifth-career stuf f.

But he admitted his fellow defensiveplayers almost blew his cover.

“I told my defense, ‘Don’t say any-thing,’ because the defense was morepumped than the of fense,” he said. “Theywould say ‘[Jamal], go get one,’ and I justsaid ‘Shh.’”

And since they did not look at Merrellas the player it expected to get the block,the unit secured its nation-leading 31st

blocked kick since 2009 and eighth on the season.

Merrell said it was not surprising, andthere are two reasons why.

The Scarlet Knights have made a habit outof blocking kicks.

But also something about the Black Knights’kicker they noticed on film helped contribute.

He watched as the Rutgers football teamand Army failed to gain traction, not sinceJamison’s second-quarter touchdown passprematurely closed the game’s scoring.

“I have to get back in,” Jamison said ofhis mindset as he looked on. “I have to getback in and help my team in any way

I can. I have to play through the pain right now.”

The sophomore running back did so,returning a sense of normalcy to an offense thatrattled off 14 fourth-quarter points in a 28-7 win.Jamison finished with 90 yards on 22 carriesagainst Army, which held the ball for nearly 34

minutes and appeared to cripple any earlyrhythm the Scarlet Knights (8-1) enjoyed.
