BEDAZZLE MY TEECandidate expressesideas for IWL future

BY ANDREW SMITHCONTRIBUTING WRITER

As a candidate for director ofthe Institute for Women’sLeadership, Paula Giddings, a pro-fessor in Afro-American Studies atSmith College, expressed her plansand goals Tuesday in the Ruth DillJohnson Crockett Building onDouglass campus.

“[The institute] has such excit-ing potential,” Giddings said. “Ilove the idea of a culture that talksabout not only academics butapplied academics to persons onthe outside, and I think this is just awonderful moment to do a lot ofinteresting advocacy and think-tank ideas.”

Giddings is the first of threecandidates to speak at talks hostedthis month by the IWL, a women’seducation and advancement con-sortium on campus. These events

give an opportunity for staff andstudents to meet the candidates.

Founding director MaryHartman retired in December 2009,leaving the institute without anyoneto occupy the position full time.

The institute has been acceptingapplications for the position sincethen, hoping to find someone dedi-cated to the advancement of womenand qualified enough to use the toolsprovided by the consortium to makea substantial difference, accordingto the IWL’s application website.

In her speech, Giddings said itwas important that the institute’sfootprint becomes larger and thatpeople inside and outside theUniversity realize its significance.

“I would be happy if the IWL metit’s potential — which is tremendous— of being a model for the engage-ment of important issues and also of

U. gets closeto fulfillingGmail switch

BY JOSHUA ROSENAUCONTRIBUTING WRITER

The University’s Office of InformationTechnology is approaching a transition from theschool’s student Eden e-mail accounts toGoogle’s Gmail.

“The Google Apps for Education suite offersoutstanding communication and collaborationtools that can enrich the university experiencefor faculty and students,” said Office ofInformation Technology Associate DirectorKeri Budnovitch in an e-mail correspondence.

The OIT already launched a trial of Gmailfor students.

OIT is searching for students interested inthis beta test, according to its website.

The test is not yet completed, but theUniversity appears to be moving quickly towardimplementing Gmail.

Some groups at the University already suc-cessfully used these tools and OIT, recognizingthe potential benefits of a University-wide imple-mentation, decided to undertake a multi-phase,multi-year project to transition students toGoogle Apps for Education, Budnovitch said.

If adopted, Rutgers will join the ranks ofother colleges and universities, including BrownUniversity and Villanova University, to convertstudent e-mail to Gmail, according to theschools’ student newspapers.

But some universities have rejected theirplans to migrate to Google’s educational services.

Yale University postponed its migration inMarch after several faculty members andadministrators reportedly expressed reserva-tions about Google’s ability to protect students’privacy, according to Yale Daily News.

A month after Yale’s decision to cancel themove, Peter Siegel, vice provost for informa-tion educational technology at the University ofCalifornia-Davis, announced ending plans to

Gamma Sigma Treasurer Chelsea Germerwas a pledge around the time a fire destroyedits headquarters — the blue house on 19 UnionSt. There since 1847, the house is home to theco-educational fraternity.

Even though the house was gone, she felteverything for which it stood stayed intact.“The house represents acceptance and beingable to coexist with people no matter who theyare in order to succeed with the help of oth-ers,” said Germer, a School of Arts andSciences junior.

After renovations and reconstruction fol-lowing a fire that consumed the house lastMarch, the Gamma Sigma fraternity housewill reopen its doors in December to continuethe doctrines of the fraternity, said Jacob-Gerard Dela Torre, president of the fraternity.

City rejects petition to reclassify marijuanaBY DEVIN SIKORSKIASSOCIATE NEWS EDITOR

The city of New Brunswick rejected apetition to classify marijuana possession as alow-priority last Wednesday, taking the thou-sands of city residents who signed the peti-tion back to square one.

Classifying marijuana possession as low-priority would make the arrests for posses-sion of the drug the police department’slowest priority.

The measure would also mandate lawenforcement to track demographic figuresfor each marijuana arrest and issue a sup-plemental report within 30 days of anarrest detailing why the officer arrested

the individual in spite of the offense’s sta-tus as a low priority.

City spokesman Bill Bray said the citycouncil rejected the petition because thecommittee of petitioners did not submit theright amount of signatures to extend theproposed ordinance.

“After the review of the petition’s papers,it did not have the required number of sig-natures to move the issue forward,” he said.“They submitted 1,681 signatures of whichonly 617 were determined to be valid.”

He said in order for the signature to beconsidered valid, it must be from a regis-tered voter from New Brunswick and mustmatch the signature on their voter registra-tion form.

“There is a statewide system where wecan pull up the signature that is on their voterfile and determine if the signatures matchand that person actually signed it,” he said.

Although the city found many of the sig-natures to be invalid, there are some whoare challenging the results.

Frederic DiMaria, Jr., chairman of theNational Organization for the Reform ofMarijuana Laws in New Jersey, expressedhis unhappiness with the city after theirresults were released.

“We handed our petition in with morethan 1,500 signatures. They only needed 627.The city went through it, and they rejected a

NJPIRG advocates voter registrationBY DENNIS COMELLA

STAFF WRITER

Election time is approaching,and that means it is time for stu-dents to start registering to vote.

The New Jersey Public InterestResearch Group Student Chaptersis leading the New Voters Project,aimed at registering University stu-dents to vote for November’s U.S.congressional elections. TheRutgers University StudentAssembly and the EagletonInstitute of Politics are also work-ing to get young people to the polls.

“If we all vote, no matter whowe vote for, it’s going to show thatwe do care and that we’re impor-tant,” said NJPIRG memberSophia Fishbane. “[It will showthat] it’s time to take us seriouslyand take our votes seriously.”

The organizations would liketo see at least 3,000 students reg-istered, she said.

“Of course we want more,”Fishbane said. “We want everystudent registered to vote.”

At the University’s studentinvolvement fair at the start of thesemester, NJPIRG helped regis-ter more than 250 students, saidFishbane, a School of Arts andSciences senior.

The youth turnout in the lastpresidential election created highhopes for midterm election par-ticipation, she said.

“The reason we believe sostrongly in [our goal] is because,

in 2008, students really showedup to the polls and made theirpresence known,” she said.

To get the word out, NJPIRGplans to set up tables around thecampuses and visit residencehalls in the coming weeks,Fishbane said.

Having NJPIRG membersapproach students is an effectivetechnique, School of Arts andSciences senior Stefany Cisneros said.

“Sometimes you’re doing somuch stuff and you just forget, butif they come to you [door-to-door]and you register it’s much easier,”said Cisneros, who in the past reg-istered with the organization.

Student government organiza-tion RUSA registered 8,000 stu-dents over the past three years andreminded 30,000 students to govote on Election Day, RUSA VicePresident Matt Cordeiro said.

“RUSA is the vehicle [through]which students can create changeat the University,” said Cordeiro, aSchool of Arts and Sciences junior.

The Eagleton Institute ofPolitics is also making it a goal tocreate political awareness amongUniversity students.

“We welcome students tocome in and get involved in prac-tical politics instead of just seeingor hearing about it,” said BobbyIrven, an intern at Eagleton.

Eagleton is working withNJPIRG on the RU VotingCoalition to educate students

about the advantages of votingand getting students into votingbooths, said Irven, a School ofArts and Sciences senior.

Eagleton is also involved inRU Ready, a program aimed athigh school students who willsoon enter the voting population.

“The program’s mission is toprovide young people with encour-agement and practical advice toenable them to participate activelyin the civic life of New Brunswick,”according to Eagleton’s website.

But the effort is not just limit-ed to the city, Fishbane said. Theend goal is to get 10,000 studentsstatewide registered to vote aboutissues they care about.

“We are totally bipartisan, so wearen’t in favor of anything, but wejust want to get students to go outand get their voices out,” she said.

Cisneros agreed that voting isimportant for students.

“Everyone should have a sayin it and want to vote because it’sfor them,” she said.

Since NJPIRG is student-run andstudent-funded, student involve-ment is key, Fishbane said. Simplysupporting NJPIRG on the term billmakes a difference, she said.

“We really need to make surethat people are supporting us,”Fishbane said.

Students who want to register tovote can go to studentvote.org orsign up through an NJPIRG repre-sentative on campus through Oct.12, she said.

The University’s Eagleton Institute of Politics released astudy revealing newspapers’ coverage of the 2009 and 2005N.J. gubernatorial and state legislative campaigns. Accordingto the results, newspapers covered the gubernatorial raceswell but gave little attention to the legislative races.

Ingrid Reed, former director of the Institute’s New JerseyProject, and two graduate assistants, David Andersen andVanessa Matthews, studied the coverage of five daily papersabout 30 days before the elections — specifically looking athow much information readers could absorb in both thepapers’ print and online versions.

During this time, these papers — The Star-Ledger, TheTimes of Trenton, Asbury Park Press, Homes News Tribuneand Herald News — featured about one and one-half electionarticles with photos a day.

Their study showed the coverage focused on what thegubernatorial candidates were saying and doing while cam-paigning, yet readers were unable to get much detailed analy-sis. There were few articles on the candidates’ debates and lit-tle graphical analysis to compare the candidates for readers.

But the state’s legislatives races were poorly covered —there were no standard stories unless an unusual circum-stance occurred, according to the study.

“News about legislative races may be difficult to fit in anewspaper’s news agenda,” according to the study. “Thesecampaigns are seen as too regional to be considered localcoverage and too local for newspapers interested in newsthat appeals to a region. Debates are rare in legislativeraces, so even this traditional source of news about cam-paigns was absent.”

According to the study, the results reveal that the changein the nature of newspaper journalism from print to onlinecould cause N.J. citizens to seek other sources for detailedcampaign news and analysis.

DiMaria said NORML-NJ madesure the signatures handed in withthe petition were valid before theysubmitted it and were shocked tofind so many eliminated.

“We feel that they disqualifiedtoo many of those signatures. Wevery carefully checked all the sig-natures, and we compared thosesignatures to the voter registra-tion list,” he said. “We know wehanded that petition in with manymore valid signatures than whatthey claim were valid.”

The effort to bring a low-pri-ority classification for marijuanapossession in the city is of greatsignificance, DiMaria said.

On top of these goals,Giddings also stressed the impor-tance of securing funding prima-rily within the University andfrom outside sources as well.

“I am definitely excited forthe reopening of the house,” saidDela Torre, a School of Arts andSciences senior. “There are acouple of pledge classes whohaven’t seen what Gamma meansto me. Part of that is seeing whatlife is like in the house. It’s kindof like a rebirth.”

The house is just the latest inmany changes for the organization.

Gamma Sigma became acoeducational fraternity beforethe University even acceptedwomen in 1971, Dela Torre said.

The fraternity also defied theconventional standards of the time,by being the first to accept blackand Jewish members, he said.

“Back then after World War II,the only people in fraternitieswere people of higher classes,”Dela Torre said. “If you weren’tprim and proper, you had noplace being in a fraternity.”

Morale among fraternitymembers was low after the fire,but seeing work being doneraised their spirits, he said.

Though the fire put a burdenon fraternity members to find newhousing, the members felt an evengreater, more sentimental loss.

“It was traumatic to see thehouse I pledged get destroyed, butmore so, everything our housestands for,” Dela Torre said. “Itwas definitely a hard time.”

An electrical fire on the thirdfloor damaged the Gamma Sigmahouse, Dela Torre said.

“Our house was built in the1840s and because of all the outletsbeing used, it was only a matter oftime, the firemen told us,” he said.

In the attempt to stop the firefrom spreading, water damagedestroyed part of the house, DelaTorre said.

of information related toUniversity research, said TomVosseler, director of informationtechnology for the School of Artsand Sciences.

“I don’t think there’ll ever be asituation where a university will beable to give up entirely running itsown e-mail systems,” Vosseler said.“There are going to be securityrequirements, and unless Googlewas certified to do that stuff, wewouldn’t be able to put e-mail onthose systems for those people.”

The move to Gmail wouldoffer significant savings to theUniversity, he said.

“It’s right on their terms page.Google offers Gmail to educationfor free,” Vosseler said.

Going to Google would allowthe University to run lessservers dedicated to hostingEden, he said.

“The staff to maintain thoseservers would be less because wewould be working with Google’ssystem,” Vosseler said. “Wewouldn’t have to update the soft-ware. We wouldn’t have to buyadditional disk space.”

The cost of additional band-width may be an initial burdento the University, but Vosselersaid it would save money in thelong run.

Internet-savvy studentsknow that Eden does allow forthe forwarding of e-mail to anye-mail service they would ratheruse, but the constant forward-ing of e-mails presents prob-lems, he said.

“Having people forward mes-sages from one e-mail system toanother increases the chancesthat they will be tagged as spam-mers,” Vosseler said. “Plus, I canthink of 30 other things that cango wrong with that.”

In the spring of 2011, phasetwo of the beta will focus onintegrating the Google Appssuite of collaboration tools intoother OIT services and workingwith faculty to effectively usethese tools in the classroom,Budnovitch said.

initiative, and I personally workedon it,” he said. “The ordinancewas mostly drafted by myself.”

He said there are many rea-sons why the city should give lowpriority to marijuana possession,which include economical andsocial benefits.

“From the economic perspec-tive, it is a tremendous waste ofmoney and resources for a citysuch as New Brunswick to makemarijuana arrests,” he said. “Itwastes a tremendous amount ofpolice resources which could bebetter utilized in combating violentcrimes and more serious crime.”

Some University students agreewith DiMaria, saying it could beuseful for New Brunswick police tofocus on more serious crimes.

“It gives [police] more time togo around protecting people fromviolent crimes rather than confis-cating marijuana,” said RobKimball, a School of Arts andSciences junior.

But City Council PresidentElizabeth Garlatti does not agreewith this statement.

Garlatti, in a Jan. 25 article onmycentraljersey.com, said shedoes not think it is right to tell theNew Brunswick police what theyshould consider a priority.

“I’m always reluctant to legislatepriorities for the city’s profession-als,” she said in the article. “There’sa police director and he does agreat job. Why should I feel like Ishould be telling him how to do it?”

Still, DiMaria said marijuana pos-session must be considered low pri-ority in the city, repeating the eco-nomic benefits for New Brunswick.

“I think in other cities wherethe low-priority initiatives havebeen successful, it has showedgreat success in eliminating theeconomic waste by not arrestingmarijuana smokers,” he said.

DiMaria is in the process ofchallenging the city’s analysis ofthe petition and will take it as faras he needs.

“I can tell you that if we can’twork it out with them, our firststep would be to file in superiorcourt and attempt to force themto certify the petition,” he said.

“Since the fire departmentwanted to make sure the entire firewas put out, the firemen complete-ly soaked the third floor,” he said.

The fire displaced many stu-dents, Dela Torre said.

“It was the night beforeschool was supposed to resume,”he said. “I was going crazy and Ifelt homeless.”

Many students resorted tocommuting and lived in of f-campus residences, DelaTorre said.

“It was as if you were given aspace in parking in a lot with apermit. Then someone just tookaway your permit and your car,”he said. “What do you do next?”

During the year and a halfwhen the Gamma Sigma broth-ers did not have their home, theyfaced many challenges.

“It was difficult to plan apledging semester,” said SergioRodriguez, Gamma Sigma’s sec-retary. “The house is the centralmeeting place. Since we’re not aRutgers affiliated organization,Rutgers charges you to useareas. We don’t have money com-ing in and there were a lot ofcosts involved. The financial set-backs were the strongest.”

Gamma Sigma will no longerhave to encounter these issues,and members expressed theirexcitement for the reopening oftheir fraternity home.

“Everyone wants it so much.It’s going to be the biggestchange in the world,” saidRodriguez, a School of Arts andSciences senior. “It wouldn’tseem like it to outside people,but we work so hard to keepsomething like this going.When you lose something likethat it takes a hit.”

Germer agreed that while themembers have had the oddsagainst them, the time for acomeback has arrived.

“It hasn’t been easy for us,”she said. “But it is definitelyworth it.”

Although she was not able toput forward a specific plan forsecuring such resources, some inthe crowd were sympathetic tosuch financial difficulty.

Natalie Batmanian, associatedirector of the Office for thePromotion of Women in Science,Engineering and Mathematics,understood Giddings’ financialstance but was still concerned.

“Fundraising seems to bewhat is stressing all of the units,”Batmanian said. “There aren’t

many sources of funds … therearen’t enough federal funds,which means we also need to turntoward private foundations.”

Despite this reservation, therewas excitement regardingGiddings’ plan for the IWL.

“Paula brings a tremendousperspective on women’s educa-tion and leadership. … I thinkshe is — as we can tell by her talk— inspiring, intellectually excit-ing, thoughtful and also a won-derful presence,” said Lisa

Hetfield, associate director at theinstitute, who is serving as inter-im director.

Hetfield said Giddings wouldbe an exciting leader to take theinstitute to the next level of work,visibility and prominence.

“I think that now, after Mary’sleadership, the next thing we’llneed is someone to take up thevision and build on the strengths,and add,” Hetfield said.

The institute was founded in1991 by Mary Hartman, Ruth

Mandel, Alice Kessler-Harris,Carol Smith and Charlotte Bunch,all prominent figures in the frame-work of Douglass College, accord-ing to the institute’s website.

Other than Giddings, RachaelN. Pine, executive vice presidentand director of Programs at LegalMomentum, and Janet Rodriguez,former vice president ofJPMorgan Chase GlobalPhilanthropy, are also scheduledSept. 13 and Sept. 20, respective-ly, to speak.

The Bergen County Prosecutor’sOffice teamed up with Rutgers School ofLaw-Newark and Seton Hall LawSchool’s Gibbons Institute of Law,Science and Technology in order to trainboth law students and practicing attor-neys in cyber security.

“We are very pleased to be a partner inthis project,” said Dean ofRutgers–Newark Law School John J.Farmer, Jr. “It will give students and attor-neys the chance to fully immerse them-selves in an important and emerging areaof the law and in fieldwork which willsolidify that training for our students.”

Although the partnership was originallyoffered only to Seton Hall Law School, it

extended to Rutgers–Newark law studentsand prosecutors throughout the state aswell as agents of the New Jersey Office ofHomeland Security, according to aUniversity media relations press release.

The University’s law school will of fera seminar star ting in spring 2011 on cybercrimes.

“Cybercrime is a local, national andinternational problem of the first priority,”said Bergen County Prosecutor JohnMolinelli in a statement. “Damagesamount to billions of dollars, threateningnational and state security with economicand terroristic threats to medical and per-sonal privacy, and predation upon theyoung and defenseless.”

Aside from the courses on cybersecu-rity law and computer crimes practice,the program includes a conference inspring 2011 that will be free to legal andacademic communities, according to therelease. A portal website will serve as anup-to-date electronic compilation of appli-cable state and federal law and regulations.

“We need to work together to ensure thecollective safety and privacy of our citizens— and to assure the continued expertise ofour security professionals, attorneys andfuture attorneys,” Molinelli said. “This pro-gram will help make that happen.”

PROSECUTOR’S OFFICE WORKS WITH U., SETON HALL IN CYBER SECURITY PROJECT Churchplans onburningQuran

ASSOCIATED PRESS

GAINESVILLE, Fla. — Thegovernment turned up the pres-sure Tuesday on the head of asmall Florida church who plans toburn copies of the Quran on Sept.11, warning him that doing socould endanger U.S. troops andAmericans everywhere.

But the Rev. Terry Jonesinsisted he would go ahead withhis plans, despite criticism fromthe top U.S. general inAfghanistan, the White Houseand the State Department, as wellas a host of religious leaders.

Jones, who is known for postingsigns proclaiming that Islam is thedevil’s religion, says theConstitution gives him the right topublicly set fire to the book thatMuslims consider the word of God.

Gen. David Petraeus warnedTuesday in an e-mail to TheAssociated Press that “images ofthe burning of a Quran wouldundoubtedly be used by extrem-ists in Afghanistan — and aroundthe world — to inflame publicopinion and incite violence.” Itwas a rare example of a militarycommander taking a position on adomestic political matter.

Jones responded that he is alsoconcerned but is “wondering,‘When do we stop?’” He refused tocancel the protest set for Saturdayat his Dove World OutreachCenter, a church that espouses ananti-Islam philosophy.

“How much do we back down?How many times do we backdown?” Jones told the AP. “Insteadof us backing down, maybe it’s timeto stand up. Maybe it’s time to senda message to radical Islam that wewill not tolerate their behavior.”

Still, Jones said he will prayabout his decision.

State Department spokesmanP.J. Crowley said the administra-tion hoped Americans wouldstand up and condemn thechurch’s plan.

“We think that these areprovocative acts,” Crowley said.“We would like to see moreAmericans stand up and say thatthis is inconsistent with ourAmerican values; in fact, these actions themselves are un-American.”

Meeting Tuesday with religiousleaders to discuss recent attacks onMuslims and mosques around theU.S., Attorney General Eric Holdercalled the planned burning both idi-otic and dangerous, according to aJustice Department official. Theofficial requested anonymitybecause the meeting was private.

Crowley said Secretary ofState Hillary Rodham Clintonmay address the controversy at adinner Tuesday evening in obser-vance of Iftar, the breaking of thedaily fast during the Muslim holymonth of Ramadan.

The Quran, according toJones, is “evil” because it espous-es something other than biblicaltruth and incites radical, violentbehavior among Muslims.

“It’s hard for people to believe,but we actually feel this is a mes-sage that we have been called tobring forth,” he said last week.“And because of that, we do not feellike we can back down.”

of New Brunswick, Tierneyviolated their trust andundermined the democraticprocess. But what else canyou expect when NewBrunswick elected officialshave created a culture thatsupports their re-election atany cost?

When EON finally had their ballot questionapproved, New Brunswick politicians helped withthe creation of a “grassroots” group called UniteNew Brunswick that submitted a competing ballotquestion to confuse voters. Superior Court JudgeJames P. Hurley found that the city’s “submission ofa second question acts to dilute the ability of votersto effectively decide” the student movement’s origi-nal ballot initiative, and thus it was struck from theballot. The damage was already done, however. TheUNB managed to portray itself as the true “grass-roots” group and discredit EON.

A brief review of UNB’s Committee of Petitionersemphatically demonstrates the organization’s close

ties to the city of New Brunswick.Rebecca Escobar, who wasdescribed in papers as a “concernedcommunity member,” was the chairof the New Brunswick HousingAuthority and is now councilwoman-elect. Benjamin S. Bucca is the attor-ney for the New Brunswick RentControl Board and the NewBrunswick Board of Adjustment.William L. Dunbar sat on the New

Brunswick Board of Education. UNB hired the polit-ical consulting firm Message and Media, which wasalso in charge of the publicity for Mayor Jim Cahill’scampaigns. Further cementing the ties betweenUNB and the political machine in New Brunswickwas a $7,200 contribution from the Friends of MayorJames Cahill, “the mayor’s war chest for his re-elec-tion campaign in 2010,” according to an nj.com arti-cle. Shame on the Friends of Mayor James Cahill forsupporting a group intended to confuse the votersof New Brunswick.

Ballot initiatives and the referendum were intendedto act as the gun behind the door to ensure politiciansserve the will of the people. The Referendum Kill Billeroded the right of New Jersey citizens to self-governand should be repealed by the legislature. Our electedofficials in city government should listen to their con-stituency rather than undermine the democratic elec-tions. You know the leadership in New Brunswick hasset the wrong standard when a lieutenant in the policeforce is charged with illegal voting.

T his is a requiem fordemocracy. Twelveminutes before

leaving office, Gov. Jon S.Corzine quietly signed intolaw the Referendum KillBill — a law solely intendedto protect elected officialsfrom the will of the peopleby forcing citizens to wait 10 years between run-ning any ballot initiatives that would change thestructure of city government. The previous lawallowed voters to exercise their right to directdemocracy every two to four years, depending onthe form of municipal government.

The Referendum Kill Bill was a direct attack onthe student movement at the University. A groupknown as Empower Our Neighborhoods, whichgrew out of the Tent State Movement, ran a ballotinitiative in 2009 that sought to change the councilsystem in New Brunswick from an at-large systemto a ward-based system.

EON sought to increase the seats on the councilfrom five to nine, composed of sixward-based councilmen and threeat-large members. The reformmovement believed that a ward-based system of government wouldinsure a more equitable division ofNew Brunswick’s resources since itwould provide traditionally under-represented communities a voice onthe city council.

Their initiative lost by 82 votes,but it scared New Brunswick politicians enoughthat they turned to the state legislature in order toprotect their seats. Joe Egan, New Brunswick coun-cilman and state assemblyman, campaigned hard togather the support necessary to pass theReferendum Kill Bill.

To add salt to the wound, this law was only acci-dentally passed in the legislature when Sen. LorettaWeinberg (D-Teaneck) mistakenly pressed for ratherthan against when voting. Weinberg vowed to rectifyher mistake, and she urged Corzine to veto the bill.

Corzine originally listened to the woman hepicked to run as his lieutenant governor, and heannounced in a press release he was vetoing the bill.Then, just minutes before leaving office, Corzinewas convinced otherwise, and with a flick of the pensigned the Referendum Kill Bill into law.

A New Brunswick police lieutenant was chargedon Friday with illegally voting in four city elections,including the one that decided the fate of the stu-dent movement’s ballot initiative. Lt. RobertTierney voted in New Brunswick general electionsthe past five years, even though he lived in EastBrunswick, according to the Middlesex CountyProsecutor.

STORY IN SPORTS

QUOTE OF THE DAY

“The ReferendumKill Bill was a direct

attack on the student movement at the University.”

L bus cut necessaryB efore getting the ax, the L bus made the trip from Livingston

campus to the College Avenue campus through HighlandPark. The route allowed students who live or park for free in

the satellite town to ride the bus to the University’s campuses. The Lbus was the least used among all routes, therefore the Department ofTransportation Services eliminated it — and rightly so.

Students would get much more out of an extra bus or two betweenthe main campuses. Instead of maintaining a barely used bus route,University officials can now concentrate on improving these aspects oftransportation. The crowded buses between campuses now have theopportunity of being avoided with more vehicles on the busiest routes.

The majority of students who will be disadvantaged by the cancel-lation are graduate students. Although they have just as much a rightto be provided with sufficient transport, they already have cars andshould pay for parking like the rest of the University population. TheL bus was also never meant to service students who parked inHighland Park for free and kept their cars there until the end of theschool day. Budget cuts have come, and those people got the roughend of the deal.

After all the commotion, the University gave students a substitutebus — the LXc — instead of leaving us with no choice at all. Savingmoney is this institution’s priority at the moment, and that is exactlywhat is happening. The University has upgraded lecture halls andclassrooms across all campuses and one bus route’s cancellationshould not be much of a trade-off. Students will make do with theresulting bus routes and in a few months at most, they will agree to paythe needed fee to park in University parking lots just like the rest of us.

W e as a nation are ignorant. All that is learned at an early ageseems to be kept in our minds without fault and withoutcare for the ever-changing world. A small Florida church is

planning on holding a Quran burning on Sept. 11 with the messagethat the book “is filled with lies.” According to The New York Times,Gen. David H. Petraeus, the top American commander in Afghanistan,spoke out against the plans with the warning that they could play intothe hands of the very extremists whom the church is targeting.Petraeus has the right idea.

The message that this one ignorant group sends out will undoubt-edly threaten U.S. troops thousands of miles away in Afghanistan. TheFlorida church creates a notion of ignorance that engulfs us all. Itsends out the idea that we have no reverence for any religion that doesnot fit the American model.

An example of such fallacies was 2005’s violent and lethal riots thatwere set off around the world by a mistaken report by Newsweek. Thereport stated that a Pentagon investigation found that military inter-rogators of detainees at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, tried to flush a Qurandown a toilet.

Ultimately this church seems as hateful and as violent as the peoplethey are targeting. In the United States, we preach acceptance andequality, yet when it comes time to test these virtues, we mostly seemto fail.

Protest aids extremists ProgressiveOffensive

GORDON MORRISETTE

G ov. Chris Christie announced his plans to implement a seriesof reforms targeting conflicts of interest in state governmentand changes to ethics law, public pensions and regulations on

how many public salaries a person can earn, according to The Star-Ledger. Here is a man who does what is necessary.

“This is the job I got hired to do,” Christie says in a video on thewww.state.nj.us website. “I am not going to back off what I promised todo. That’s my covenant with the people of this state.”

These initiatives seek to curtail the practice of public affairs offi-cials receiving multiple government salaries. The governor said thecurrent ban on officials holding two elected positions must be extend-ed to include those whose positions are appointed. Those who opposethese basic changes attack the governor because one way or another,it will cost them money.

Christie expressed the need for the Democratically-controlledlegislature to enact the measures by the time lawmakers break for Christmas.

The specifics are not clear yet, but if Christie does everythingas he presented it to the public, the state of New Jersey will be ina better condition than it was this time last year. Reforms areneeded especially in the state government sector. And whilethere will always be those who oppose what is best for the state,government reforms must go through. Christie is simply target-ing that which upsets people’s wallets the most. Nonetheless,change is needed, and our governor is on the right path to bring-ing it.

Christie acts as needed

RU seniorstasked withfilling voidsBY MICHAEL KUPERSHTEYN

CONTRIBUTING WRITER

The start of the fall semesterbrings expectations for students,athletes and professors alike, as

the sum-mer heat

gives way to the autumn breeze.The Rutgers men’s cross countryteam is no exception to this rule,and the squad is entering the sea-son with significant expectations.

Head coach Mike Mulqueenwill be hard-pressed to replacethe graduating seniors who left asignificant mark on the team dur-ing their time at Rutgers.

One of those departed seniorsis Simon Gordonov, who excelledboth athletically and academical-ly. He was a consistent top fivescorer for the Scarlet Knightsand recipient of the Barry M.Goldwater Scholarship in recog-nition for his perfect 4.0 GPA andother scholastic achievements.

In his absence, two runnerswho are expected to anchor theteam by providing solid perform-ances at every meet are seniorsNick Miehe and Kevin Cronin.

Mulqueen said he expectsthese two to be the leaders of thecross country team, and that“they are looking to be in reallygood shape” and should be readyto contribute this season.

Miehe is the more decoratedsenior, having won the 2009Metropolitan Championships,and is consistently a top three fin-isher on the team. Cronin placedfifth at the MetropolitanChampionships and was alsoamong the top three scorers onthe Knights.

When asked about the expec-tations for this season,Mulqueen said he always has thesame expectations at the start ofa new season. He doesn’t func-tion with predetermined goalsfor his team, but rather expectsthem to improve on the last sea-son’s results.

With the seniors that graduat-ed, he hopes that the mix of tal-ented newcomers and veteranpresence will allow the Knightsto move up the Big East andNCAA regional rankings.

“The goal of every year is totry to be better than the yearbefore,” Mulqueen said.

The first challenge for theKnights comes Saturday at theFordham Fiasco & Follies meet.

think our midfielders were justkind of running around with theirheads cut off and not thinkingabout what we were trying to do,”Donigan said. “It’s not going toget any easier for us. We are goingto have teams coming in here thatwould love nothing more than tobeat Rutgers at Rutgers.”

For Donigan, the philosophiesare going to stay the same fromthe loss to Lehigh as the team

begins a five-game homestandstarting Friday. It is the executionthat has to improve.

“I think sometimes things justclick and the light bulb goes on,”Donigan said. “We are going tocontinue to stick to our philoso-phies and play the way we want toplay because we are building forthis season, but we are also build-ing for the future.

“I am very set in my ways in whatis going to bring us success downthe road and I’m not going to varyfrom that. We are going to keeppressing and pushing the sameissues and hopefully things will startto turn more positive for us.”

Due to the holiday weekend,the Knights had a nine-day breakbetween Lehigh and their homeopener against Delaware. Aftertwo days off, the team hit thepractice field hard with the nextgame seeming ages away.

“The nine days has been gruel-ing. We had two days off, but we’vebeen going hard since then,”Calafiore said. “We definitely want toget right back out there after a losslike that. We want to be playing.Practicing just gets you thinking andrealizing more that we lost and yougot to be working harder to win.”

During practice, the offenseworked on their crosses — boththe delivery and making surethere are players inside the 18-yard box to receive it.

“We pretty much have just rundrills nonstop to get our attackingplayers going,” said junior YannickSalmon, who registered one of theKnights’ shots on goal in the loss.

“We’ve just been running a lot ofoffensive plays and working ongetting more people in the box.

“I think our problem last gamewas that we were having troubleholding the ball. Also gettingnumbers in the box for crossesand we weren’t getting more sup-porting players up top.”

Salmon is also itching to getback on the playing field. The extrapractices have only extended thesinking feeling of defeat, not allow-ing Salmon and his teammates toforget about the loss just yet.

“I definitely don’t like havingall that time off,” he said.“Especially after a bad loss likethat you just want to go right intothe next game and forget aboutthe last one. Having all of thattime off also meant a lot of fitnessin practice and stuff like that.”

But it is during these demandingpractices, under the blazing sun thatreveals what teams are made of farmore than an early loss. It is throughadverse times like these that you cancarve your own identity.

“We can either dwell on the loss,or get angry and motivated to prac-tice better and make sure everything is perfect,” Calafiore said.“Basically, the whole mindset inpractice and what I’ve been tryingto tell the guys is that it’s not easy towin. It’s not easy to dig deep.

“It’s not easy to find the innerself that tells you to keep pushingand keep driving when your mindand your body is telling you toquit. I said that if we want to winand we want to be champions,then that is what we have to do.”

FORMER SOUTHERNCalifornia running back ReggieBush may soon be stripped ofhis 2005 Heisman Trophy,according to Yahoo! Sports.

Two sources indicated thatthe Heisman Trophy Trust isnearing the completion of itsinvestigation of NCAA allega-tions. Bush allegedly receivedgifts from two sports mar-keters who planned on signingthe young Trojan star when heentered the NFL.

Prior to this season, theNCAA put USC on a four-yearprobation, reduced theschool’s scholarships andslammed a two-year bowl banon the Pac-10 powerhouse.

Despite the rumors, theTrust calls the reports byYahoo! Sports “inaccurate” andno final decision has been made.

Though his status is uncertainfor Florida International onSaturday night, Young will travelwith the team, according to Schiano.Young missed more than 10 teampractices, so he has just three daysto get back into playing shape.

“There’s no shape like footballshape,” Young said. “If you spend aday off football after going hard fora while, you can feel it. It’s definite-ly different being back out there.”

In his stead, junior Joe Martinekhandled the third-down role.

“Kordell is a great leader andit definitely benefits us when he’shere because he knows so muchand he’s football smart and heknows the game and knows theoffense and reads the defense sowell,” Martinek said. “Every timehe’s here he just teaches me newthings each day. Having him hereis a good thing.”

Although sophomore quarterback Tom Savage started 11 games lastseason, head coach Greg Schiano still wants him to gain experience.

SCHIANO CANNOT GET INTOspecific injuries during the weekbecause of a new Big East policy,but he said yesterday in his week-ly press conference that truefreshman receiver J.T. Tartacoffreturned to practice and wouldbe able to play against FloridaInternational if the coachesdecide to put him in.

Redshirt freshman QuronPratt’s status is less certain forFIU, but he will definitely be readyfor North Carolina, Schiano said.

TRUE FRESHMAN CHASDodd already got his first taste ofcollege football against NorfolkState, solidifying his role as theteam’s backup quarterback, butthat doesn’t mean he will playevery game, Schiano said.

“I am not going to get into, ‘Wewant to get him in here — thirdseries, fifth series,’ with Tommy[Savage] being as young as he is,”Schiano said. “I think we need toget Tommy action. I’m notopposed to getting them bothtime, if the situation dictates, andit doesn’t necessarily mean we areway behind or way ahead either. Itis just, I think, the situation has todictate it. The next question willbe, ‘Well, what is that situation?’and I don’t know.”

This year, the Rutgerswomen’s golf team is looking tobuild on its success from last sea-

son andbecome a

serious contender in the Big East conference.

There is a lot of experience onthe team this year, as the ScarletKnights feature two seniors, fivejuniors and two sophomores.

“I have two seniors: Ourcaptain Jeanne Waters andDaley Owens,” said head coachMaura Waters-Ballard.“Because of their talent andexperience, I expect them tolead the way. They are bothshowing great promise in prac-tice this week.”

Both of the seniors on theteam started in each of the pre-vious three seasons but Waters-Ballad noted that this seasonshe expects Waters to makesome noise.

“She is a seasoned veteranwho has won events in the pastand should win a few this year aswell,” she said.

The highlight of last seasonwas a victory at the HartfordInvitational, in which sopho-more Brittany Weddell tookfirst overall with a combinedscore of 150 for the tournament.

The Knights followed that victo-ry with a sixth-place finish inthe Big East Tournament to endthe season.

Waters-Ballard said it is impor-tant to use last year as a buildingblock coming into this year.

“We need to build on our suc-cess from last year,” she said.“We had some top three finishesand a win last season, and weneed to continue on that road.”

Although last season mayhave ended on a sour note, thereis more to look forward to for the2010 campaign with the mix ofveteran leadership, like Waters,and more maturity from theyoungsters, like Weddell.

With that in mind, Waters-Ballard wants to see more fromher squad and is confident theycan be better.

“I think something we canimprove on is our consistency,”she said. “Last year, we alwayshad at least one good round in atournament. This year, I want tohave two or three good rounds ina tournament.”

The Knights begin the sea-son on Sept.11 in Lewisburg,Pa., at the BucknellInvitational. The team thenplays host at the RutgersInvitational in October to roundout the fall season and will notget another crack at the BigEast Championship until April.

alongside former Knights PeteTverdov and Westerman, he isnow counted on to be “the guy” tomake impact plays with the gameon the line.

The stigma does not fazeSilvestro, who expresses the sameconfidence in a defensive lineranked by Rivals.com as the nation’s12th-best for the 2010 season.

“There’s going to be timeswhen I’m going to be struggling,and I look to the left of me at[defensive tackle] Charlie[Noonan],” Silvestro said. “Iknow he’s going to be there back-ing me down … and it goes downthe whole line. Same with [defen-sive tackle Scott] Vallone.Vallone’s a great player … samewith [defensive end Jonathan]Freeny — you know how Freenycan rush off the edge.”

Behind Silvestro on the depthchart is junior defensive endJustin Francis, who registered atleast one tackle in nine consecu-tive contests last year and willpush for more playing time in thedefensive line rotation.

Aside from Francis, however,there is little experience on theKnights’ roster at defensive end,forcing Silvestro and Freeny intothe role of teachers.

“Mainly, just getting into thefilm room, know what they’redoing,” said Freeny of advice theduo passed on to the youngerends. “And then once they’recomfortable with what they’redoing, that’ll give them the confi-dence on the field.”

Senior defensive end Alex Silvestro recorded five tackles, including one sack and four for aloss, in the Scarlet Knights’ season-opening 31-0 win Thursday against Norfolk State.

As a freshman, Silvestro was-n’t lucky enough to merelyabsorb the tips of veteran line-men and replicate them withpractice reps. The coaching staffthrust the 2009 Second Team All-Big East selection into a starter’srole for three games.

A year later, Silvestromoved inside to tackle only tomove back to end for the 2009season, when he posted career-highs in tackles and tackles-for-loss.

Now a senior, Silvestro is akey cog on a defensive lineheaped with preseason praise.

“Twelfth-best is pretty good… but obviously we want to bethe best,” Silvestro said. “Ourgoal is to win a national champi-onship and to do that, it’s to bethe best. Twelfth, I think, honest-ly isn’t good enough, so I thinkwe need to play better.”

Silvestro and the rest of thedefense get their next chance toexpand on their opening-nightperformance Saturday, when theKnights take on FIU in their firstroad contest of the season.

In order to come out of Miamiwith a positive result, Schianoemphasized the play of histeam’s veterans.

“We need all of our seniors toplay the best football of theircareers,” the 10th-year headcoach said. “When you have aspecial year, your seniors —they play the best football oftheir careers.”

If history is any indication,Silvestro, who improved histackle total from 13 to 41 to 42during his career, is in line tolive up to Schiano’s seniorexpectations. Silvestro, for hispart, will be prepared.

Young sorts out personal issues, rejoins Knights

THE DAILY TARGUM

Fifth-year senior running back Kordell Young rushed for 28 yards on nine carries and caught seven passes for 48 yards lastseason as the Knights’ third down back — the same role he will play this season after missing time with personal issues.

BY SAM HELLMANCORRESPONDENT

The Rutgers football team, particularly therunning backs, got an emotional boost yesterday,when fifth-year senior Kordell Young returned to

the practice field aftermissing more than twoweeks because of per-sonal issues.

Neither Young norhead coach Greg Schiano wanted to get intothe specifics of the running back’s personallife, but following many questions Young willplay for the Scarlet Knights this year.

After spending time at home in WestDeptford, N.J., by his own request, Youngfound a way to sort out his issues.

“It’s all handled and situated now,” Youngsaid. “Coach [Schiano] gave me a little bit oftime to go back home and figure somethings out back at home.”

Young, who missed parts of the past threeseasons because of separate ligament repairsurgeries in his knee, insists that health isnot an issue and he will be able to execute hisrole without problems.

Young is the first to say that he isn’t the sameplayer that he was before his multiple surgeriesand injuries, but any running back or coach willtell you he’s the best third-down running backon the team and that is his role this season.

“Anything that has to do with thirddown, I’ll be out there doing it,” Young saidabout practices.

The third-down running back’s role in anoffense is primarily pass blocking — pickingup blitzing linebackers and safeties — but healso often goes out on hitch and screen pass-es, as well as draw plays.

“He helps a great deal from his experience,”Schiano said. “The reason he was the

team’s defensive end, he couldn’t come downwith an interception like he did in last year’sseason-opener against Cincinnati.

“It would have been really nice to get apick,” Silvestro said. “It definitely hit meright in my hands, too. That was a bad one.”

Forgive Silvestro, who made the Big EastHonor Roll last week with five tackles and asack, if he pays close attention to detail.

A model of consistency during his fouryears at Rutgers, Silvestro owns 30 careerstarts at both defensive tackle and end. Helearned from New York Jets linebackerJamaal Westerman and former ScarletKnights defensive end George Johnson.

And despite both personal and defense-wide success in a 31-0 rout of NorfolkState, Silvestro noticed more than enoughroom for improvement in preparation forFlorida International.

“Statistically, I’ll say I had a good game,”Silvestro said. “I mean, there’s been gameswhere I thought I played a lot better than Idid last game and I only had one or two tack-les. Being a d-lineman, that’s kind of how itgoes. [Last game] was a good startingground, but I still made plenty of mistakes.”

Identity in balance during extended time offBY A.J. JANKOWSKIASSOCIATE SPORTS EDITOR

The first game of the season can tell youa lot about what type of team you are and it

goes a long waytoward developing

an identity.The Rutgers men’s soccer team hopes this

adage is not the case.In their first game of the season, the

Scarlet Knights traveled to Lehigh and werebeaten in every facet of the game to the tuneof a 3-0 defeat.

“It was very quiet, almost like somebodyhad died,” said senior defender PaulieCalafiore of the bus ride home fromBethlehem, Pa. “I think everyone was toobusy thinking about what went wrong andwhat we can do to get better and make surewe can fix everything before our next game.”

Although it was not the way that new headcoach Dan Donigan wanted to kick off hiscareer on the Banks, he believes his teamshowed glimpses of promise.

“I think we let an opportunity go by the way-side. We’ve only played a good 15, 20 minutes.There were some spurts in the game where I

thought we did some good things,” the first-year Rutgers coach said. “Good teams, on theroad, you got to perform better than just a fewspurts outside of the first 15 minutes.

“For me, I just think there needs to be anego, a mentality, a psyche that you are goingto battle, you are going to fight, and you aregoing to do whatever it takes to be competi-tive and come away with a positive result.”

Defensively, the Knights conceded threegoals on just seven shots. On the offensiveside of the ball, the team managed some early
