OIT works on wireless Internet flawsBY ANASTASIA MILLICKER
ASSOCIATE NEWS EDITOR
Although RU Wireless_Securehas been available for about ayear, the system is still undergo-ing changes.
RU Wireless_Secure is awireless system that utilizes asecure authentication mecha-nism known as 802.1X, whichprotects your user name, pass-word and data with networkencr yption, said Brian Luper,project manager of the Office ofInformation Technology.
The staff installed a vendor-supplied update last Wednesdaynight that will hopefully resolvethe connectivity issues for those
using the network, and will con-tinue to update the network to anetwork that can accommodatemore students.
“We will be monitoring the sys-tem closely and working with thehelp desk to verify if it has beensuccessful,” he said.
Anna Barcy, a School of Artsand Sciences first-year student,said she did not have a problemaccessing RU Wireless but whenattempting to access RUWireless_Secure, faced issueswith passwords.
“I’ve been using the RUWireless one, not the secure,because of the password protec-tion problem that keeps wantingme to re-enter my password, but
otherwise I haven’t had a prob-lem,” she said.
RU Wireless — the system’spredecessor that users can still use— is an authenticated, secured,password-protected network thatdid not serve particular sites for acertain time, like instant messen-ger and Facebook, Luper said.
“If you are going to an unsecurewebsite outside of the University, itmay not be compatible with RUWireless_Secure,” he said.
With RU Wireless_Secure,users avoid having the encryptioneliminated, so they do not have tore-enter their passwords and recon-figure their system when they start

BY ALEKSI TZATZEVCORRESPONDENT
The Rutgers Parents Associationconcluded “Parent and FamilyWeekend” yesterday with its annualbrunch outside the Jane VoorheesZimmerli Art Museum and an addressfrom President Richard L. McCormick.
Student Life, which organized mostof the weekend for the first time, invit-ed students’ parents and family mem-bers to visit University facilities andattend the Rutgers football team’s vic-tory on Saturday over Ohio University.
“We had [the program] kind ofcentered around a football weekendwhere families could go to the gamewith their children and experience
the University,” said AndrewCampbell, director ofCommunication and Technology forthe Rutgers Parents Association.
With the help of the athleticdepartment, about 3,000 tickets wereprovided at a discounted rate for par-ents and family members.
Numbers remained around 1,900,during the last three years, while thisyear more than 2,000 family membersattended the game, Campbell said.
“We’ve grown a little bit each year,”he said. “Some events may not attractas many people, but football gameshave always been the biggest draw —no doubt about it.”

BY SHELBY GREENTANERCONTRIBUTING WRITER
With a camera and a week, University sophomore ZackMorrison and juniors David Umansky and Christopher Pasiwent “Live” when their five-minute film placed in the top 16for Campus MovieFest and won “Best Drama” overall.
“The shooting of this movie was one of the most exhaust-ing but exhilarating weeks of my life,” Pasi said. “We came upwith the idea on the bus and three days later we were shoot-ing the movie.”
After winning “Best Drama” for their film “Live,” the triowas invited to the Hollywood International Film Festival for ascreening of their short film and the opportunity to create a 3-D short — one of the first of its kind, Morrison said.
Morrison said one of the best parts of the festival wastouring Universal Studios and meeting filmmakers fromother colleges.
“We met a group of kids from Colorado and the experienceswe had with them were a blast,” he said. “It was a lot of fun justto meet students from different cultures with different movie

Award-winning society inducts studentsBY JULIAN MODESTO
CONTRIBUTING WRITER
The University’s chapter ofthe National Society of CollegiateScholars (NSCS) held its annualNew Member InductionConvocation Ceremony Sundayat the Livingston Student Center.
Members of the University’sNSCS chapter, an honors organization for qualified first and second-year students, paid tributeto their adviser Dean KarenDentler, who will no longer serveas the adviser following this year.
“Dean Dentler is alwaysthere to help us and we canalways stop by her office, nomatter if she’s busy,” said JillColban, the organization’s exec-utive chapter president.
Colban, a School of Arts andSciences senior, spoke of herexperience with the organiza-tion. She initially joined threeyears ago solely to list it on her resume, but now calls it oneof the most rewarding aspects ofher college career.
“Now that I’ve been involvedin the organization, I’ve found itso much more fulfilling,” she said
Colban discussed the orga-nization’s histor y and the three pillars it swears by —scholarship, leadership andservice. She also said anothermajor quality she and others look for in potentialmembers waiting to be induct-ed is integrity.
NSCS has worked withCareer Services in the past and performed community serviceby participating in initiatives
including Elijah’s Promise,Planning to Achieve CollegiateExcellence (PACE) and theInternational FriendshipProgram (IFP), Dentler said.
“This is a very student-runorganization. I provide guid-ance and balance ideas,“ shesaid. “The executive boarddoes a great job and gets ideasfrom other chapters and other schools.”
Ashley Hogan, secretary ofpublic relations for the University’schapter of NSCS, agreed with
Dentler about the club’s emphasison community service.
NSCS is an honors societycentered on community service,said Hogan, a School of Arts andSciences junior.
The event also featured MattMatsuda, dean of the CollegeAvenue campus and a professorof History, who served as thekeynote speaker. Anotherchunk of the ceremony was ded-icated to students whodescribed their road to successprior to joining the organization.
Students like Yang Wang, thechapter’s executive vice presi-dent, spoke not only about theirin-school extracurricular activi-ties, but also about their work out-side the University.
Wang, a School of Engineeringsenior, highlighted the impor-tance of student involvement andencouraged other students toinvolve themselves in a myriad of activities for self-fulfillment. He noted his collaboration withRutgers Against Hunger when he collected nonperishable fooditems for this event.
All the speakers, includingDentler and members of theexecutive board, encouragedmembers to think about thegold STAR award they won asmotivation to continue the goodwork in the future.
The national level of the NSCSawarded the chapter the 2011Gold Star Award this past summer at the NSCSConvention in San Juan, PuertoRico in recognition of its success.
Dentler called the award awell-deserved formal recogni-tion of all the work done by theUniversity’s chapter of NSCS.The chapter received a silverSTAR the summer before, soshe believes this award is a stepin the right direction.
There is no nomination forthe award, she said. Therequirements to achieve thegold status require NSCSbranches across the nation tohave an induction ceremony,hold campus events to supportthe NSCS goals and do a goodjob recruiting.
Alumnus discusses racein politics at Eagleton
BY JODI-ANN RANKINE CONTRIBUTING WRITER
Kenneth Walsh, a Universityalumnus and chief White Housecorrespondent for US News andWorld Report, returned to cam-pus last Thursday to reveal hisfindings about AfricanAmericans’ relations in politics.
At the Eagleton Institute ofPolitics on Douglass campus,Walsh focused on the timeline ofprogression African Americansmade from the early 1700s topresent day through his book,“Family of Freedom: Presidentsand African Americans in theWhite House.”
“During the history of AfricanAmericans and presidents inrecent times, stories are moreuplifting to see how far we havecome since most of the historyregarding race is unsettling,”Walsh said.
The alumnus said he was com-pelled to write his book becauseof the historical moment for theUnited States when the firstAfrican American president,Barack Obama, was elected.
After interviewing Obama onseveral occasions, Walsh said hedecided to research the capacityof change among AfricanAmericans in the White House.
“African Americans helped tobuild the White House itself, thenthey became close to presidents,and some were confidants topresidents,” he said.
Walsh compared the attitudestoward African Americans duringslavery to the demeanor onceAfrican-American advisers andpoliticians began to lead ourcountry in later times.
“America has a sad early timein terms of race relations,” Walshsaid. “However, the attitudestoward African Americansregarding their position in theWhite House has changedthroughout the years.”
He said during formerPresident Abraham Lincoln’sterm, Lincoln confided in AfricanAmericans to understand the per-spectives of everyday people.
Intertwined relationshipsamong different races wereformed as African Americansbecame socially acquainted withpresidents in the White House,Walsh said.
For instance, Lincoln invitedabolitionists Sojourner Truth andFrederick Douglass to the White
House, former PresidentTheodore Roosevelt invitedBooker T. Washington to dinnerand former President John F.Kennedy developed a close rela-tionship with his valet, whileadmiring the strength andcourage of civil rights protestors,he said.
“Theodore Roosevelt believedthat people should be treatedbased on their merits andachievements, not by their race,”Walsh said.
African Americans such asColin Powell, 65th United StatesSecretary of State, andCondoleezza Rice, 66th UnitedSates Secretary of State, whoserved under the George W. Bushadministration, are examples ofdiversity that have emerged in theWhite House, he said.
“Many presidents were form-ing a relation with AfricanAmericans. [Former President]Bill Clinton would attend a pre-dominantly black church, and heunderstood the importance ofchurch in the black community,”he said. “In fact, African-American writer Toni Morrisonrefers to Clinton as the firstblack president.”
Walsh said he sees diversity inthe White House becoming moretransparent through First LadyMichelle Obama’s efforts.
Michelle Obama allows thepublic, including children, to visitand share access to the govern-ment by viewing the WhiteHouse, he said.
Walsh said diversity is notonly occurring in the WhiteHouse, but also at the University.
“Rutgers University was notdiverse until much later,” he said.
Ruth Mandel, director of theEagleton Institute of Politics, con-ducted the event and said thereare benefits to an alumnus visit-ing the University and sharingtheir knowledge with students.
“We hope that [students] endup doing what Kenneth Walshdoes, and that is doing what[they] love,” she said.
After a question-and answer-session, Walsh conducted a booksigning where faculty membersand students were able to speakwith him.
“The event was informative,as he brought us into the lives ofall the Presidents and his breathof knowledge was fascinating”said Thomas Simons, aUniversity alumnus.
“Now that I’ve beeninvolved in the
organization, I’vefound it so muchmore fulfilling.”

Richard Koszarski, a professor in the Department of English, donat-ed a collection of Polish film posters to the Academy of Motion PictureArts and Sciences that his father collected from Poland in the 1960s.
His father, an importer, began importing Polish films in the late1960s, and worked directly with Film Polski to bring the films to Polishneighborhoods in New York and New Jersey, according to theDepartment of English website.
“My family and I would pile some prints in the back of the Buick anddrive off to ... screen them for audiences eager for a fresh glimpse of theold country,” Koszarski said.
Even after his father retired in 1979 and moved back to Warsaw, hedevoted his free time to finding more, eventually acquiring a collectionof more than 6,000 posters that open a window into post-World War IIPoland, according to the site.
“You can read about collections like these in books, but we wantedsomething to be here,” Koszarski said. “Something people in the U.S.could see.”

“The films are watched by ajury that is made of academicslike myself, journalists, formerwinners and other filmmakers,”he said. “The judges are toldthat they should look at N.J.work with a special eyebecause we are here to supportN.J. filmmakers.”
Out of the entries, “Live”reached the final 40, Nigrin said.
“Most of the films we getare by emerging or establishedar tists who are no longer students, and most of the filmswe get are either shorts or doc-umentaries,” he said. “Thejudges just see the film andjudge it for what it is, so that isa great accomplishment.”
While “Live” is a short film, itdoes not fit into any of the othercategories that most submis-sions do, Nigrin said.

A wide array of activities wereavailable on all campuses Fridayand Saturday, including a wel-come dinner at the LivingstonDining Commons, breakfast atthe Scarlet Latte Café, open hoursat the Zimmerli and an interna-tional food and culture festival.
“We had a great internationalculture festival [on Saturday night]where we had international foodand performances by Africandancers, drummers, all sorts ofcultures,” said Tony Doody, direc-tor of Programs and Leadership inStudent Life. “There was a reallygreat turnout.”
The parent-oriented weekendof previous years compared withthe more family-friendly eventsthis year was a significant change.
“We had focused more on par-ents, while this year we tried to cre-ate events more engaging to moregenerations, meaning not just stu-dents, not just parents, but alsochildren and other family mem-bers,” Doody said. “We’ve tried tocreate in people the sense of pridethe rest of us have.”
The Zimmerli played an inte-gral role over the weekend as ithosted events on all three days,including free tours.

Middlesex County Prosecutor Bruce Kaplanlaunched an extensive investigation to determinewhat exactly happened last Thursday when 47-year-old Barry Deloatch was shot during a footchase with two New Brunswick police officers.
Deloatch died at 12:37 a.m. at Robert WoodJohnson University Hospital from a single bulletwound that entered his left side and struck hisaorta at 12:12 a.m., according to a statement fromthe prosecutor’s office.
Kaplan said in the statement that the two offi-cers involved in the incident, one an officer whohas been with the department for two-and-a-halfyears and the other for more than six years, wereplaced on administrative leave pending the investi-gation’s outcome.
The investigation showed so far that the twoofficers, who were on routine patrol, questioned
three men, including Deloatch who fled. They fol-lowed him into an alley, where a struggle led tothe shooting.
In the initial investigation, Deloatch was foundwithout a firearm. But the investigation is trying todetermine if he was in possession of anotherweapon and whether he used it against the officers.
A police radio transmission from the time of theincident features a man saying, “The suspect wasattempting to hit us with a wooden stick,” accord-ing to nj.com.
The investigators collected evidence fromthe scene of the shooting, with which they willconduct a forensic analysis. They also inter-viewed more than 12 people to help gatherdetails of the shooting.
The prosecutor’s office will not disclose factsand evidence during the active investigation.
Ranking officers at the prosecutor’s office arekeeping the Deloatch family informed about theinvestigation’s progress.
“It is in the intention of the MiddlesexCounty Prosecutor’s Of fice to conduct a comprehensive, thorough and unbiased investigation into this incident, and allresources of the of fice are being fully utilized tobring this case to a just conclusion,” Kaplan saidin the statement.
There is no timetable for the investigation’scompletion.
Another protest held in front of City Hall onFriday had Deloatch’s friends and family conveningagain to stress his innocence in the shooting,according to nj.com.

less, which is really annoying.”Cardona said she was upset
that the wireless connection islimited and was disappointed thecomputer fee on the term billdoes not seem to cover the sys-tem in residence halls.
“We pay to live in a wirelessapartment, so why pay for some-thing I can’t really use,” she said.
All residence halls have awireless system, but not allareas of the residence halls havethe ability to connect wirelesslyand some rooms in particularmay need to utilize Ethernetcords, Luper said.
“The system connects to hotspots throughout the dorm suchas lobbies and study lounges,”he said. “We are working withhousing over the next two tothree years to have wireless inall dorm rooms.”
To connect to RU Wireless, auser’s computer needs an802.11b, 802.11g or 802.11a wire-less network adapter and a Webbrowser to log into the network,Luper said.
Certain devices cannot sup-port the secure network like cer-tain cellphones and Blackberrys,he said. But the secure systemcan support Microsoft Windows,Windows Vista 7, Mac OS X Lion,Mac OS X Snow Leopard,Leopard and Tiger, Ubuntu,Apple iPod, iPad and iPod Touch,and Android versions 2.1 andnewer devices.
A station and a staff workingin the Hill Center on Busch cam-pus coordinate access distribu-tion, he said.
Areas with RU Wireless or RUWireless_Secure can be locatedthroughout campus and are con-stantly being expanded, he said.
The RU Wireless group in NewBrunswick receives fundingthrough a combination of ICI, ELFand RUCS grants and funding.
“Buildings often fund theirown building’s wireless,” hesaid. “We receive a small portionfrom student fees, but if adepartment wants RU Wireless,they sign a contract and pay fortheir department’s.”

Families took note of theopportunity to visit the museumand Geology Hall.
“It’s really interesting, becauseI didn’t realize the variety theUniversity had to offer,” saidBrendan Sammon, father of LauraSammon, a School of Arts andSciences first-year student. “Idon’t think our daughter realizedit either.”
Another parent said she wasexcited about visiting the artmuseum because it had one ofthe best art collections in thestate, with around 60,000 works.
“We came as a family, mother,father and brother,” Mary LuWason, mother of Jordon Wason,a School of Arts and Sciencesfirst-year student. “The brunchwas very nice and quiet — it wasvery pleasant, and later we willvisit the Zimmerli.”
Brian MacDonald, associatedirector of Student Life, said thisyear’s events also tried to helpstruggling first-year students intheir first weeks at the University.
“This time of the semester,especially for first-year students,might be a little off and right nowis the time when staff can jump inand help,” he said. “This is achance to connect to the parentsand get them the resources tohelp out their sons or daughters.”
At the closing event of the week-end in Scott Hall on the CollegeAvenue campus, parents had theopportunity to hear from LeeSchneider, executive director of theRutgers Parents Association,Suzanne Delehanty, director of theZimmerli and University PresidentRichard L. McCormick.
The turnout was lower com-pared to other events of the week-end, with about 50 people, mostlyparents, showing up.
McCormick hailed theUniversity as constantly developingin a competitive educational worldand as one with some of the bestfaculty and students in the nation.He also said the University needs toattract out-of-state students.
“We make sure that every stu-dent receives the counseling andadvising he or she needs, and inparticular first-year students,” hesaid. “In addition, we want ouralready-outstanding student bodyto become even more geographi-cally diverse.”
Parents had time to ask ques-tions and many did regardingbudget talks, the merger betweenthe University and University ofMedicine and Dentistry of NewJersey and the acceptance rates inthe coming years.
“What share of the University’sbudget comes from the state ofNew Jersey through subsidy?”asked Ejeviome Eloho Otobo,father of Ejiro Otobo, a School ofEngineering first-year student.
Following McCormick’sspeech, Otobo said McCormickanswered his questions clearly, andhe was glad his daughter chose theUniversity over other top schools.
“I was satisfied by the answers.It provided assurance in the sensethat the president reassured usthat the University is providinghigh quality education,” he said.

film, and you don’t see that muchthese days. It functions a lot likethe old Charlie Chaplin moviesfrom the 1920s, because there isno dialogue,” he said.
Nigrin said the film leadsviewers in a suspenseful way that represents college life in an interesting manner by focusing on a student overcoming his discouragingfather and establishing friendships.
“The student categories aredif ferent from the others inthat we recognize that theymay not have the money tomake this big production likesome of the other films wehave,” he said. “But if they’reinteresting, and unique andcreative, that usually bumpsthem into the final.”
The film was screened secondon Friday at the New Jersey FilmFestival in Voorhees Hall on theCollege Avenue campus.
Pasi said it was great seeinghis movie on screen especially with the suppor tfrom neighbors in his resi-dence hall. He used his floormates in the RU-TV BroadcastCommunications LivingLearning Community as extras.
“It’s one of my passions andI love the fact that these stu-dents dropped what they weredoing to just come and shootthis movie with us,” Pasi said.

Clothing store caters to Orthodox Jewish, Muslim womenBY HENNA KATHIYA
STAFF WRITER
For conser vative dressersstruggling to find suitableclothing at mainstream stores,Covered Girl Clothing, at 235Raritan Avenue, in HighlandPark, N.J., specializes in provid-ing clothing tailored toOrthodox Jewish women andothers who choose to dressmore modestly.
Sharon Garber, the owner ofthe store, wanted to provide aplace in the community wherewomen and girls of all agescould find clothing to suit theneeds of their religious views.
“I’ve lived in Highland Parkfor a while, and I’ve known thatpeople have had to travel all theway to Lakewood or Brooklynin order to find stores that soldmodest clothing,” she said.“Traveling all the way there wastes time, gas and money.”
Garber said she was motivat-ed to open the store because
there were not enough conser-vative clothing places to shop atin Highland Park.
“I felt that the JewishOrthodox community has beengrowing and that there neededto be a place that catered to thatniche group … as well as anyMuslim women or anyone thatwanted to dress modestly forthat matter,” she said.
Orthodox Judaism requireswomen to dress in clothing thatcovers all body parts except forthe face and hands, Garbersaid. There are some dif fer-ences in modern Orthodox andultra-Orthodox Jewish women.
But neither modern-dayOrthodox Jewish women norultra-Orthodox women believein exposing their body partsbesides their face and hands,she said. Modern or thodoxJewish women sometimesmight expose the bottom partof their legs.
“I’ve been asking customerswhat they’ve been looking for,and I’ve been bringing in
things, like children’s clothesand smaller sizes,” Garber said.“I’m trying to adapt to what thecommunity needs and bring itin, so it’s a win-win for me andthe customer.”
Garber emphasized that herstore is community-based.
She said she enjoys seeingher customers chat with oneanother as well as with the staf fbecause it creates a friendlyatmosphere that she hopes hercustomers will appreciate.
Mara Margolin, a resident ofHighland Park and a regularcustomer, spoke about the con-venience of having a storelocated close to home.
“I was here three separatetimes the first day it opened,”she said. “I’ve lived here for 18years, and I know that womenthese days do not have time totravel to Lakewood orBrooklyn, so it’s great having aplace so close by.”
Margolin, an Orthodox Jew,believes the location could nothave been better as CoveredGirl Clothing is surrounded by numerous other eateries.
“You got your pizza andChinese food right here, so youeat your pizza and then get yourclothes, or rather you try onyour dress first and then eatyour pizza,” she said.
Margolin even invited hersister from out of town to comeshop at the store.
“She has a nice selection ofdif ferent styles, a wide range of
age ranges and decent prices ofmodest clothing,” she said.“The clothing [my sister]Sharon has is also very trendy,so it is easy to find clothes for younger people as well.”
Sana Naoreen, a Muslim res-ident who has lived in HighlandPark for the past seven years,called Garber’s business a use-ful and convenient option for her.
“As a Muslim woman, I thinkit’s great that someone in thecommunity saw the need for astore and opened one up,” shesaid. “This is definitely a place I will shop at more often now.”
While the store is only fourweeks old, Garber has highhopes for the future of the business.
“We’re very new, so rightnow I’m just hoping to get myname out there and build asteady base of regular cus-tomers that will help my busi-ness grow,” she said.
“Women these daysdo not have time
to travel to Lakewoodor Brooklyn,
so it’s great having a place so close by.”

NJ mayor, aides to return overtime pay THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
PATERSON, N.J. — Amid apublic outcry, the mayor of aflood-ravaged New Jersey cityand three of his salaried aidesagreed to return more than$20,000 in overtime pay theyreceived for working duringHurricane Irene.
Paterson Mayor Jef fer yJones, who received a $6,144check, and his three aides,agreed to give back the moneyafter published reports in TheRecord on Friday drew criti-cism from Washington to north-ern New Jersey.
Jones told the newspaper heplans to review the legitimacyof the payouts — but he leftopen the possibility that thecity might reissue the checks ifthe Federal EmergencyManagement Agency approvesthem. Under FEMA rules, thecity is eligible for reimburse-ment of 75 percent of its over-time costs incurred in responseto the flood.
“Right now, you start fromzero, make sure you retrace your
steps and make sure your deci-sions make sense,” Jones said.
Jones, the mayor of NewJersey’s third-largest city, receivesa salary of $119,000 a year.
He usually doesn’t receive over-time pay, and neither do his threesalaried aides who also got checksfor their work as a “first responder.”
The mayor said the amounthe received was determined bythe city’s Office of EmergencyManagement and, like the 600other overtime checks the citymade out to employees for workduring the weather emergency,is supposed to be reimbursedby FEMA.
Agency spokesman GregHughes said FEMA reimbursesovertime pay for public work-ers who earn a salary, but onlyif the benefit is authorized bythe employment contract.
“If a contract spells out that inemergency situations they are paidovertime, they are reimbursed,”Hughes said. “If there is not lan-guage in the contract, then no.”
Neither Paterson nor anyother New Jersey municipalityhas received any aid from the
agency so far. More than 100people in Paterson had to berescued from their homes in thewake of Irene, many in inflatableboats. The city was evacuated asthe Passaic River crested at 14feet, twice its flood stage.
For the state as a whole, morethan 900,000 lost power and thou-sands of homes were damaged byflooding. Seven people died.
While the mayor said he hadquestions about the payments,Councilman Kenneth Morris Jr.,who is chairman of the financecommittee, has only doubts.
He said salaried employeescould get extra time off — but notextra money.
“The nature of the position isleadership,” he said, “and itsometimes requires an individ-ual to act beyond their normalscope of work and put in addi-tional hours.”
He said the City Council wasn’tasked to approve the payments.
U.S. Rep. Bill Pascrell Jr., aDemocrat from Paterson, alsoblasted the overtime.
“This is exactly what wedon’t need. We don’t need any
shenanigans,” said Pascrell, not-ing a partisan clash inWashington over a federal disas-ter aid package. “This is whatgives the impression that FEMAis a gravy train. I can’t believethat some clerk at City Hall inPaterson couldn’t discern whois a first responder and who isnot. The job of mayor is 24/7.You don’t get overtime.”
Paterson has submitted a $21million damage claim to FEMAin the aftermath of HurricaneIrene and the remnants ofTropical Storm Lee, which pro-duced back-to-back floods,according to The Record.
Jones also attracted publicattention last week.
At a Washington news con-ference to urge the U.S. Senateto adopt a $6.9 billion disasterrelief bill, he said he under-stands why people are frustrat-ed with partisan bickering andthat it “kind of explains, at leastto me, why those who lay claimto terrorism in these UnitedStates feel that they can.”
He later apologized andblamed fatigue for the gaffe.
TRENTON, N.J. —Legislation that wouldimpose more stringent bailrestrictions on thosecharged with violatingdomestic violence-relatedrestraining orders in NewJersey will go before thestate Senate this week.
Proponents say the meas-ure, which cleared theAssembly last fall, would pro-vide more protection for vic-tims by making it harder forsuspects to post bail and makeoffenders more accountablefor their actions.
It would bar thoseaccused of violating suchorders from having theoption to post 10 percent oftheir bail to gain theirrelease. Instead, they wouldhave to post the full amountor have a bail bond securedby real property equal to thebail amount plus $20,000.
Under current law, sus-pects can gain freedom bypaying as little as $50, givingthem little incentive toappear in court, critics note.
“Given the emotional andphysical trauma that [domesticviolence] victims have alreadybeen subjected to, they shouldbe able to receive some meas-ure of comfort knowing ourlaws do everything possible toprotect their safety in thefuture,” said AssemblywomanCeleste Riley, D-Bridgeton,one of the bill’s primary spon-sors in that chamber.
Proponents also cite statis-tics that show domestic vio-lence is a growing globalproblem. They want to makeresidents more aware of theissue and help ensure that vic-tims know help is available.
An estimated 1.3 millionwomen in the United Statesare victims of physical assaultby a partner each year,according to the NationalCoalition Against DomesticViolence. And it’s estimatedthat one in every four womenwill experience domestic vio-lence in her lifetime.
The senate’s JudiciaryCommittee approved thebill Monday. And if it’spassed by the full Senatethis Monday, it will head toGov. Chris Christie’s deskfor his consideration.
But it’s not clear when orwhether Christie would act onthe bill. The measure wouldfirst have to be reviewed byhis office, and the governorhimself has not publiclyaddressed the matter.
The measure is sponsoredin the senate by DemocratsLoretta Weinberg of BergenCounty and Linda Greensteinof Mercer County. BesidesRiley, other primary sponsorsin the Assembly wereDemocrats Cleopatra Tuckerof Newark, Joan Voss of FortLee, Ralph Caputo ofBelleville and GordonJohnson of Englewood.

one week or one month —you will be stuck in thisawkward limbo.
One can argue that thisscenario puts these waitingapplicants into a statewhich economists call a
competitive disadvantage. In simpler terms, thismeans that while you are waiting to hear backfrom your possible job, others who are looking fora job will apply for the remaining available posi-tions. These other jobs are jobs that you other-wise could have applied for, but now lost theopportunity to do so. Therefore, you are at a dis-advantage when compared to your competition inthe work force that is not waiting to hear backfrom an employer.
For a full-time college student with minimalexpenses, this is really not a big deal. For thosewho are actively seeking a full-time position, thiscan have drastic consequences. It will lead to them
being unemployed for a longer peri-od of time, thereby increasing thatindividual’s cyclical unemployment.In fact, it can be argued that tosome degree, employers whoengage in this sort of behavior leadto an increase in the unemploymentrate. It may only be an increase by atiny fraction of a percent, but it is anincrease regardless.
This is definitely something to watch out forthen, because chances are that employers willcontinue on like this. The only real way to combatthis is to continue applying for jobs while you arein the midst of the application process. You mayhave a decreased incentive, and it might beannoying to deal with jobs you sent applicationsto after having accepted a job offer, but it still isnot worth taking the risk.
If there are any employers at the Universityreading this, please have the common courtesyto send a quick chain email out to applicants whoyou do not want. It will take all of 30 seconds, andit will make things much easier for the rejectedapplicants. There may be some unhappiness, butat least there will be clarity. Also, personally, Iwill be certain to avoid using the products of anycompany I applied to which failed to give me aclear response.

STORY ON FRONT
QUOTE OF THE DAY
F raternities and throwers of house parties at the Universityshould take note of last Thursday’s raid on the Tau KappaEpsilon (TKE) fraternity at Rowan University. The raid, con-
ducted by Glassboro police in conjunction with Rowan University pub-lic safety, resulted in more than 100 arrests on various charges, whichranged from obstruction of justice to selling alcohol without a licenseto providing alcohol to minors. Our own University has a pretty well-documented party culture, and, for the most part, one could conceiv-ably argue that it is relatively harmless. But it’s important to remem-ber that the keyword there is “relatively.” What happened at Rowanlast week can and should serve as a reminder — not just to fraternities,but everyone who hosts parties on or off campus — that parties areonly harmless as long as certain lines are not crossed. If they are, thenserious problems can arise.
First-year students are probably the most at-risk when it comes toparty dangers. Because they are underage, they should not be drink-ing in the first place. They do not have regular access to alcohol, sowhen they come to the party scene for the first time, they usually donot know how to consume alcohol safely and responsibly. This can leadto serious consequences, alcohol poisoning and terrible decisions fore-most among them. Older students at the University, especially thosewho host parties, need to be aware of this. It is not just a matter ofkeeping yourself on the right side of the law by not providing alcoholto minors. More importantly, it is an issue of keeping your fellow stu-dents safe. Even to the initiated, parties can pose dangers.
We must assert that we do not believe the conduct of TKE at Rowanis in any way indicative of the conduct of fraternities in general. Sucha claim would be foolish and baseless. Rather, we feel the need to bringthis information to the attention of the student body precisely becauseit is a real problem that affects everyone. If you are hosting a party,make sure safety is a top priority. If you find yourself at a party wherethe hosts are making questionable decisions, try to make the rightdecision and look after the more vulnerable students among you. Youmay not be the one providing them with alcohol, but you could be theone to make sure they get home safe and sound.
I t is a Saturday night atthe University, and yougo to a party. You meet
a girl and think you reallyhit it off well with her.Before you leave, you makesure to get her number. Youare proud to have it in your phone. You wait a cou-ple days to call her — not long enough that shethinks you’re ignoring her, but still long enough soyou don’t look desperate. Knowing that she wasattracted to you, you finally muster up the courageto call her up. Eventually, a strange Italian manpicks up and says “John’s Pizzeria.” Embarrassed,you hang up. You have been teased, led on andgiven false hope.
Unfortunately, college students throughoutthe country experience this event. Even sadder,such an event is experienced in a dif ferent,though similar, form by a gouger of people whoare in far more need — the unemployed.Although, as a full-time student, Ican’t comprehend the dif ficultyand pain one must feel if they’recaught up in cyclical or chronicunemployment, I recently dealtwith this sort of annoyance.
Recently, I have been involvedin a job hunt. I applied to five dif-ferent jobs, four of which rejectedme. “Reject,” though, should notbe taken literally, because in only two of thesecases were I informed that I didn’t get the job.Most of these jobs gave me encouraging mes-sages such as, “We’ll get back to you within thenext few days to let you know if you got the posi-tion.” However, none of these employers stuck tothis promise. Those who did not completely avoidcontact with me waited an excruciatingly longtime to let me know what was going on.
This is wrong for a number of reasons.Obviously, it is annoying. Nobody likes to be givenfalse hope only to have it fizzle into nothing.
Also, this has a more practical and economicimplication. Think about this: If you are waitingto hear back from a job and think there is a gen-uine chance you might get it, you will behavedif ferently with regard to other prospectivejobs. Chances are, you will be less likely toapply for additional jobs. Because you think youhave a forthcoming source of income, you willhave less of an incentive or motivation to applyfor something new. So until you figure out thatyou did not get the job — whether that takes

Bake sale misjudgesAffirmative Action G enerally speaking, bake sales are the most innocuous of cam-
pus events. We leave the divisive politics for rallies, marchesand sit-ins, because, as far as issues go, cupcakes are pretty cut
and dry. But they say there’s a first time for everything, so maybe itshouldn’t come as a surprise that someone finally found a way to marrycookies and controversy. In an effort to protest California Senate Bills185 and 387, which lean heavily in the direction of Affirmative Action,the U.C. Berkeley College Republicans are planning to hold an IncreaseDiversity Bake Sale. The bake sale is supposed to demonstrate what theCollege Republicans see as the absurdity of Affirmative Action by oper-ating on a sliding price scale, which changes according to the gender,race, and ethnicity of the buyer. For example, a white man will pay $2for an item, whereas a black man would pay 75 cents, and so on.Unfortunately for the College Republicans, this bake sale plan does notbolster their argument against Affirmative Action. All it actually does ishighlight some critical failures in their understanding of whatAffirmative Action seeks to accomplish.
One of the most common criticisms raised of Affirmative Action byits opponents is that it is a system whereby unqualified applicantsreceive employment, admission or some other benefit simply becausethey are minorities or women. The extension of this narrative is thatqualified white men everywhere are losing out on the opportunitiesthey deserve. The deck is supposedly stacked against them. It’s clearfrom the Increase Diversity Bake Sale that the U.C. Berkeley CollegeRepublicans subscribe to this belief.
However, this picture of Affirmative Action is highly inaccurate.Affirmative Action is not some sort of ideological Robin Hood, stealingopportunities from white men and giving them out to everyone else.Instead, it creates opportunities for traditionally oppressed or under-represented groups. It’s a means by which the playing field is leveled,not shifted in the opposite direction. Also, Affirmative Action does notopen the door for unqualified candidates: No matter the gender, raceor ethnicity of a person, they still need to be qualified for whateverposition or program to which they are applying.
The picture that people like the U.C. Berkeley College Republicanspaint of Affirmative Action is purely alarmist, grounded in hystericalmyth and, sometimes, blatant racism. We don’t know if the organizersof the bake sale in question were trying actively to be racist, but thefact remains that they certainly come off that way.
attendance — less those whowould straggle in during the firstquarter — led by the studentbody, gave him a standing ova-tion. It was spontaneous, and itwas perfect.
Now the request.The midshipmen of the U.S.
Naval Academy will visit HighPoint Solutions Stadium in a fewweeks. What seems like themajority of fans in attendance atUniversity football games havedeveloped what I consider anunpleasant habit of reflexivelybooing the opposing team asthey take the field before kick-off. Let’s resolve not to do that,
especially Oct. 15 when theScarlet Knights face Navy athome. In fact, I am asking thestudent body to take leadershipof the opposite response.
The only difference betweenConte and the young men fromthe Academy who will emergefrom the stadium tunnel thatafternoon is that he has actually
made the sort of sacrifice inservice to the rest of us thatthese young midshipmen, at thispoint in their careers, haveexpressed the willingness tomake. It will be no discredit toour Scarlet Knights or to ourdesire for their victory to give afew moments of honor to theseyoung people — and, in that act,to all the young men and womenin similar service to the nation.Let’s applaud them as weapplauded Conte.
This is not a matter of policyor politics, but of sportsmanshipand civility. We may, and in factwe should, debate the former,
but the latter should be beyondcontention. And in this case, itshould be clearly right to us thatwe spend a few momentsacknowledging these youngmen, who are soon to placethemselves between the dangersof the world and us.
Once the whistle blows, theirteam should be defeated. Beforethat, their spirit should bepraised. I will do what I can frommy seat, but I hope I will be fol-lowing the lead of the young menand women in scarlet red.

Vietnam are swooping in toexplore for oil.
As domestic drilling advocateswatch global oil giants prepare toprofit from the rig come thisNovember, they immediatelyblame President Barack Obama’sadministration for banning off-shore drilling. However, becauseof the United States’ trade embar-go on Cuba, partaking in this oilextravaganza is impossible evenwithout the ban. Besides, there isa bigger problem other than amissed economic opportunity.
Remember the BP oil spill?For those who live on or near theFlorida coast and for those whosebusinesses and health wereaffected by the gulf disaster, this
new rig has a greater significancethan the United States’ inaccessi-bility to lucrative trade. The datedCold War trade embargo on Cubanot only prevents the United
States from doing business withCuba, but it also bars U.S. offi-cials from sending equipment andexpertise to help even in the
event of a crisis. Any equipmentused in dealing with oil disasterswould have to come from anothercountry. If another disastrous oilspill were to occur, the UnitedStates would have to helplesslystand back and watch the oil omi-nously make its way to theFlorida coastline. I realize this isthe worst-case scenario, but it isone against which we can easilydefend ourselves just by relievingthe limits on our trade with Cuba.
It is important to recall whythe trade embargo was enactedall those 52 years ago. First andforemost, the United States want-ed to stop the spread of commu-nism. This isn’t a relevant threattoday; there isn’t a single rational
person who believes the UnitedStates is susceptible to Cubancommunism. Secondly, we want-ed regime change in Cuba, butthe Castros are still in powertoday, fueling Cuban nationalismby blaming their economic prob-lems on American aggression. Inany case, regime change will beeven less likely when Cuba profitsfrom the rig.
While the embargo remains ineffect, impoverished Cubans willbecome poorer, and we will watchother nations endanger our coast-line. But at least communism willbe contained.

Daily review: laurels and darts
I t is tough for anyone to find a job in the current economic climate,but it is even tougher than normal for veterans who, upon return-ing from war, face challenges assimilating back to normal life.
That’s why The New Jersey State Building & Construction TradesCouncil’s Helmets to Hardhats (NJ H2H) is such a great idea: The pro-gram helps place veterans of war into positions in the constructionindustry in order to give them a smoother transition back into the soci-ety they served. The state gave $195,000 to the NJ H2H program lastThursday, and for that they receive a laurel — as does NJ H2H itself.Our veterans deserve the aid and respect our state can give them.

A lot of people make jokes about New Jersey being a dirty place,and our state’s faulty sewer systems are not helping us make a caseagainst that reputation. According to the U.S. EnvironmentalProtection Agency, there are more than 200 spots in New Jersey whereold, dilapidated sewer systems are pouring raw sewage into our waterat an aggregate rate of 23 billion gallons per year. While the state’sDepartment of Environmental Protection claims it is working to reviseenvironmental safety codes in order to prevent things like this, they’redragging their heels far too much — they estimate that the new ruleswill be released in six months. Meanwhile, sewage pours into ourwater every day. The state receives a dart for letting things get thisbad and for taking their time to come up with a solution.

season for the Knights, who alsorecovered three more Ohio fum-bles to bring their takeaway totalto 13, which ranks third nationally.
“We play an attacking style onspecial teams and on defense, so Ihope we can create takeaways,”said head coach Greg Schiano.
Rutgers also put the ball on theground twice and lost possessionwhen it could not execute a hand-off between sophomore quarter-back Chas Dodd and freshmanrunning back Savon Huggins.
Huggins fumbled earlier in thegame, but the Knights recovered it.
“Any time we put the ball onthe ground I am very disappoint-ed,” Schiano said. “Fumbles, wecan’t live with. But having said allthat, [Huggins] will get it correct-ed, no doubt. He will reboundfrom this.”
Dodd threw an interception inRutgers territory in the first halfwhen he tried to force a pass intojunior tight end D.C. Jefferson.
The Bobcats scored off theturnover, but Dodd reboundedfor three scores through the air.
SCHIANO STARTEDredshirt freshman Betim Bujariand true freshman Kaleb Johnsonon the right side of the offensiveline against the Bobcats for thefirst time this season.
The pair formed a five-manunit that allowed only one sack.
“They made some mistakestechnique-wise and assignment-wise, but what they are is explo-sive,” Schiano said. “Very strong.Very explosive. To run the foot-ball you don’t only have to be onthe right person, you have tomove him. You have to createsome daylight and explosivenessallows you to do that.’’
Johnson sprang redshirtfreshman running back Jawan
Jamison for a 22-yard gain on aswing pass when he executed ablock on an Ohio cornerback.
Considered a mauler, Johnsonshowed the ability to reach thesecond level of defense on blocks.
“I think I was comfortablefrom the first snap of the game,”said Johnson, who made his col-legiate debut. “I was just excitedto go out there and play. Theanticipation built up more andmore each week as time went by.”
FRESHMAN QUARTERBACKGary Nova earned playing timefor the second time in his career.
Nova appeared for one drive inthe second quarter, when hefound junior wide receiverMohamed Sanu for a 19-yard gain.
“They’re giving me opportuni-ties,” Nova said. “Many backupquarterbacks around the country,they don’t get opportunities likeI’m getting. So I just have to takeadvantage of it.”
Schiano said he would liketo play Nova every game togive the Don Bosco Prep prod-uct experience.
JUNIOR WIDE RECEIVERMark Harrison dropped a passfor the second consecutive game,but Dodd found him two playslater for a seven-yard completion.Harrison went to the sideline fora play, spoke to Schiano, thenreturned to the field to convert athird down.
“Mark has been trying tomake plays instead of execut-ing,” Schiano said. “That iswhat we talked about. He isgoing to be fine.”
THE KNIGHTS CONVERTED11 of 18 third downs onSaturday, but Ohio earned afirst down 50 percent of the timeon third down.
“I thought it was great onoffense,” Schiano said. “Wehaven’t had a conversation likethat in a while. Defensively, I amnot as excited.”

Save for Huggins’ 3-yardtouchdown run after Jamisonwent down with an ankle injury,Jamison took over, carrying theball 29 times for 97 yards.
“All along we have said …that he’s really got great visionand really great feet,” said headcoach Greg Schiano. “He washot [Saturday], so we keptfeeding him the ball.”
It helped Rutgers (2-1) con-trol possession for nearly two-thirds of the game, after Schianospent the week praising Ohio’striple-threat offensive attack.
The Knights limited theBobcats’ pistol-option-shotgun-run system to 65 yards rushing,but Ohio (3-1) put up pointsthrough the air.
Sophomore quar terbackTyler Tettleton had two touch-down tosses, but once Huggins’second-quarter touchdown runbroke a 7-7 tie, the Knightstook control.
Junior safety Wayne Warrenforced a fumble on a punt return,which Ka’Lial Glaud recoveredand returned to the 2-yard linebefore another fumble. Juniorcornerback Marcus Cooper
recovered it and finished the jobby finding the end zone.
“It’s been a while since I’veseen the end zone,” saidCooper, who star ted hisRutgers career at wide receiv-er. “Just to have that feelingagain, it’s great.”
It was one of two fumblesGlaud recovered in Rutgers’ four-takeaway performance.
The junior made his firstcareer start at defensive endafter entering training camp asthe starting middle linebacker,and was par t of a unit thatsacked Tettleton three times.
“That’s definitely what youcan expect,” Glaud said. “Aswe’re getting more comfortablewith our positions and our tech-nique, we’re starting to believe inourselves. Our job is to pressurethe quarterback and make it eas-ier on our [defensive backs].”
Nothing was easy on the Ohiosecondary, even though Sanuwas virtually the only option forDodd. Six other players caughtone pass while Sanu repeatedlyfound space downfield, despite anincrease of double-teams as thegame wore on.
“I think we have a lot of faithin Mohamed no matter who iscovering him,” Schiano said.“We are going to go to him. Wehave some really goodreceivers that we need to getcooking, making it much morehard to defend.”

Rutgers snaps seven-game losing streakBY JOSH BAKAN
CORRESPONDENT
When it came to the secondhalf of the Rutgers field hockeyteam’s bout against Bucknell yes-
t e r d a y,s u s -p e n s ewas inf u l lforce.
Losers of seven games in arow, the Scarlet Knights did notwant the same story to occur foran eighth time.
Getting out to an early leadwas not unusual for the Knights— they did so in their last non-conference game in a loss toMonmouth — but maintainingsuch a lead did not happen sincetheir season-opening win againstJames Madison.
Since that time, Rutgers neverscored multiple goals in a game.
That changed in the 16thminute against Bucknell whensenior forward Nicole Gentile putin her second goal of the seasonand the eventual game-winner ina 3-1 road victory.
The Knights did not feel thesame déjà vu they experienced intheir 2-1 loss to Villanova (5-4, 1-1) when they failed to capitalizeon scoring opportunities.
“We ended up going back tothe hotel and then had a teammeeting where we watched thatVillanova game, and we did agreat job preparing for thegame,” said head coach Liz Tchou.
After allowing the first Bisongoal of the day to senior midfield-er Kate Bowen only three min-utes into the first half, theKnights could not afford to giveup any more.
But Rutgers (2-7, 0-2) madesure it was the only Bucknellgoal, thanks to the ef forts ofthe defense and sophomoregoalie Sarah Stuby, who record-ed five saves.
“Sarah had an amazinggame. She had some amazing
saves,” said senior defenderMackenzie Noda. “We wantedto push ourselves to take someof the workload off of her.”
Rutgers found itself with anunfamiliar privilege in havingto maintain a lead for practical-ly an entire game after sopho-more Danielle Freshnockknocked in a goal 1:28 into the game.
Rutgers points leader GiaNappi capped off the Knights’scoring output with a clutch goalwith five minutes remaining,courtesy of an assist on a penaltycorner from the team’s leadingscorer, junior Carlie Rouh.
“When it was 2-1, a lot of uswere concerned about the gamebeing tied,” Stuby said. “But thatgoal took some of the franticnessout of our heads.”
The final goal capped it for theKnights, who return to the Banksfrom Lewisburg, Pa., with themonkey off their backs after theirseven-game losing streak.
But Bucknell did not go downwithout a fight — the case for theBison all season.
Despite a lackluster 2-4record, the Bison pulled out boththeir victories in overtime.
Bucknell came out weak onboth ends by giving up earlygoals to Rutgers and taking 28minutes to earn its first shot.
But the Bison entered the sec-ond half a completely differentteam. Rutgers posted a 7-2 shotadvantage against Bucknell in thefirst half. But in only 15 minutes,the Bison tied that number atnine and ended the day with a 12-11 shot advantage.
There were many momentsthat were too close for comfortfor the Knights, but Stuby onlyallowed one Bison goal despite Bucknell’s narrow shot advantage.
The Knights did not havesuch luck in Villanova, Pa., lastweek, but look to put togetheref for ts mirroring theirBucknell win against the rest oftheir Big East competition.

Before entering its first Big Eastgame of the season againstPittsburgh Friday, the Rutgers
m e n ’ ss o c c e rteam didnot givei t s e l fm a n yoptions.
As far as the Scarlet Knightswere concerned, the only optionwas to start conference play 1-0.
With their 3-1 victory at a rain-covered Yurcak Field, theKnights received the only optionthey wanted.
“It’s great. It’s a really good win.To me, this was a must-win athome,” said head coach DanDonigan. “It’s a cross-division game.I mean, looking at it realistically,
with UConn playing St. John’s onthe same night, those are goodteams and if we can get three pointson them with this game, I’ll takewhat I can get. I’m happy.”
The Rutgers offense received ahuge boost from highly toutedfreshman forward JP Correa, whonotched two goals in a game for thefirst time in his collegiate career.
Correa’s second goal in the63rd minute turned out to be thegame winner.
The Panthers netted their onlygoal of the game off a free kick justoutside the box late in the first half,tying it up.
“It feels great after last week-end [against Indiana] missing abunch of chances, maybe getting alittle bit unlucky to be able to comeback and be able to score one inthe first half, then give my teamthe lead in the second,” Correasaid. “You cannot start 0-1 in the
Big East. That wasn’t an option. Wehad to win here.”
The Knights notched a securitygoal late in the game off the foot ofsenior Nye Winslow. It was the firstcareer goal for the midfielder, whocontinues to recover from a ham-string injury he suffered earlierthis season.
“It just feels great. I had the ham-string trouble in the beginning ofthe year, so getting back from thatwas tough,” Winslow said. “Just toget on the field and be able to con-tribute is good. It feels great to helpthe team win in any way possible.”
The Knights drew first blood inthe contest, with Correa finding theback of the net on a give-and-gocombination with junior midfielderRobin Brown.
The Rutgers offense workedeffectively despite the inclementweather in Piscataway, which sawthe Knights avoid midfield puddles.
Correa chalked the win up to theKnights’ determination in their firstBig East game.
“This isn’t exactly the greatestthe field has ever been, but you justhave to deal with it. Both teams haveto deal with it,” he said. “It’s justabout fighting and running hard thewhole game, and hoping you get thebest result.”
Donigan noted from the side-lines that the Knights offense ranmore on toughness than on athlet-ic skill.
“I’m happy. I mean we were outhere in tough conditions. The fieldis awful, but there is nothing youcan do about that,” Donigan said.“You couldn’t really play soccer.You just had to sort of muck it up,mud it out and that is just what ourguys did. Overall, I’m happy withthe results, but it’s hard to assessbecause we weren’t really playingsoccer out there.”

The Rutgers women’s soccert e a me n t e r se a c hw e e k -end witht h e
same goal of winning both games. Junior goalkeeper Emmy
Simpkins even upped the ante lastweek, exuding confidence in theteam’s ability to shut out bothPittsburgh and No. 25 WestVirginia in consecutive matches.
But the Scarlet Knights’ loftygoals did not match the week-end’s results, as they playedPittsburgh to a scoreless drawFriday and dropped a 1-0 over-time thriller to the Mountaineersyesterday in Morgantown, W.Va.
“Obviously, we’re disappoint-ed,” Simpkins said after a five-saveperformance against theMountaineers. “We tied Pittsburghwhen we shouldn’t have, and webattled through West Virginia andshould’ve come out on top. We’redisappointed, but we’re not goingto break and we’re going to getready for next weekend.”
With yesterday’s loss, theKnights (6-4-1, 1-2-1) now face anuphill climb in the Big EastNational Division.
Rutgers stands at sixth in thedivision through its first four con-ference games, failing to score inconsecutive contests for the firsttime this season.
The loss also gives theKnights a three-game winlessstreak, dating back to the team’ssecond Big East contest resultingin a 4-1 loss to Georgetown.
Georgetown is now in firstplace in the National Division.
“I still feel confident — wehad so many oppor tunities,”Simpkins said. “We’ve got theyoungsters up top — the fresh-man up top that are tr ying tofill those shoes right now —and they’ve done an awesomejob. The only advice I have forthem is to keep their heads up and not get down on themselves.”
The Knights again had plentyof opportunities, and Crooks wasfirst to acknowledge the squad’sscoring changes.
But with sophomore forwardJonelle Filigno out for both con-tests with an ankle injury, Crooks
relied on a pair of freshmen andan inexperienced sophomore tohelp lead the attack.
Sophomore Maria Gerew,who scored her only careergoal last week, earned arguablythe two best scoring opportuni-ties of the game only five min-utes into play.
Freshman forward StefanieScholz sent the ball into the box
for Gerew, who fired a shot atWest Virginia (8-3, 4-0) goalkeep-er Sara Keane. The rebounddeflected back to the Toms River,N.J., native, but her second shotfluttered high and bounced offthe crossbar.
“In both matches we hitever y single post, crossbar,everything we can get,” Gerewsaid. “It’s frustrating, but
we just need to keep working hard.”
Tying with Pitt (1-7-4, 0-2-2)was as demoralizing, as thePanthers scored in only four oftheir 12 games this season.
The inef fectiveness onoffense set up well for Crooks’attack, even with Filigno out ofthe lineup with an injured ankle.
But the Knights never capi-talized despite outshooting thePanthers, 17-11, with five ofthose shots reaching the hands of Pitt goalkeeper Kristina Rioux.
“We got behind the defense.We’ve just got to finish,” Gerew said.
The Knights return toPiscataway on Friday to face St.John’s and Syracuse, two teamswho had success of their ownearly in the conference season.
And if they plan on attainingtheir six-point goal next week-end at Yurcak Field, theKnights’ margin for error isslim to none, Crooks said.
“Right now [in] our homesmatches [there is] no marginfor error — none,” Crooks said.“We’ve got to get it done at home.”

Mohamed Sanu insists hedoes not have any special con-
n e c t i o nwith ChasDodd.
“I justtell him, ‘If you ever need me, I’mthere,’” Sanu said.
The junior wide receiver didnot have to say a word Saturday atHigh Point Solutions Stadium.
Sanu caught a Big East-record 16passes for 176 yards and twotouchdowns in the Rutgers foot-ball team’s 38-26 win against Ohio.
“The first time someone cameup to me and told me he had 16catches, I was just astonished,”said the sophomore Dodd, whoadded a late touchdown pass tosophomore tight end PaulCarrezola. “I didn’t think he hadthat many. He did a great job catch-ing the ball, and if he keeps doingthat, he’s going to keep getting it.”
That was the theme throughthe first three games, when Sanuhas 36 receptions for 363 yardsand four scores. His two-touch-down per formance marks thefirst time the former Wildcatquarterback had two receivingtouchdowns in a game.
“I like being a receiver,” Sanusaid. “I get to actually be in themeetings with [wide receivers]coach [P.J.] Fleck and learn howto be a natural receiver, not a run-ning back and a receiver.”
The Scarlet Knights’ groundgame was its most productivesince the advent of the Wildcat,totaling 159 yards behind arevamped offensive line.
Redshir t freshman BetimBujari and freshman KalebJohnson made their first careerstarts at right guard and righttackle, respectively, and the unitallowed one sack.

The Scarlet Knights scored 17points off turnovers, including juniorcornerback Marcus Cooper’s scoopand score on a fumbled punt return.
“I think it was just a lot of guys try-ing to get the ball in the end zone,”said junior safety Wayne Warren, whoforced the fumble. “[Ka’Lial Glaud]picked it up first, and I could tell … theonly thing in his mind was getting theball in the end zone. And then that ballcame out, and I was like, ‘Oh, man. Ihope they don’t get it.’”
