The Rutgers Business Schoolexpects to graduate more studentsstarting in fall 2013 in conjunction withthe opening of a business school build-ing on Livingston campus.

“We had more than 400 seniorsgraduate this year, but we expect thatnumber to more than double in a fewyears,” said Glenn Shafer, dean of theRutgers Business School-Newark andNew Brunswick.

The building will be a counterpartof the business school building on theNewark campus, according to aUniversity press release.

Shafer said the Board of Governor’sapproved to increase the school’senrollment to 3,200 students over thepast years.

“We have already expanded enroll-ment, but the expansive wave has nothit the senior class yet,” he said.

The school plans to enroll 3,000undergraduate students total — anamount that includes incoming first-year students, current students andtransfer students — up from the cur-rent 1,900, because of the rising num-

ber of applications, according to therelease.

Many more part-time MBA stu-dents have also become full-time stu-dents, said Daniel Stoll, a RutgersBusiness School spokesman.

“Because of the economy, there area lot of students who were part-timestudents but lost their job and are nowfull-time students,” he said.

Martin Markowitz, senior associatedean of the Rutgers Business School,said the school’s four-year program forentering undergraduates, which beganin 2008, would continue to draw inmore applicants.

Prior to this program, the schoolonly accepted incoming juniors whoapplied from the School of Arts andSciences, he said.

“A four-year program gives us abetter opportunity to attract morestudents,” he said. “Many peoplewill now come to the Universitybecause the school is close to theNew York suburban setting and thetuition is a lot better than the otherschools out there.”

The building will house the fiveundergraduate departments of thebusiness school and provide class-

Navy ROTC programto launch in fall 2012

BY ADAM LOWECONTRIBUTING WRITER

Joining two existing programson campus, the Naval ReserveOfficers Training Corps willmake its debut on campus start-ing fall of 2012.

The University’s Board ofGovernors approved the creationof an academic Department ofNaval Science last Wednesday toprovide a four-year program ofnaval science.

“The NROTC program offersa fantastic opportunity for stu-dents interested in the Navy tofinally realize their dreams,” saidRichard Edwards, interim execu-tive vice president for AcademicAffairs. “We’ve offered the ROTCfor the Army and Air Force for along time, but the NROTC is afresh new start.”

Furthermore, the programwill be the first and only NROTCprogram to be offered in NewJersey, Edwards said.

The program works to educateand train young individuals forleadership positions in the Navyand Marine Corps, said RayMabus, secretary of the Navy.

“We can tell you that NROTCmidshipmen are among the bestand brightest students in thecountry,” Mabus said. “TheNROTC program develops youngmen and women morally, mental-ly and physically, and instills inthem the highest ideals of honor,courage and commitment.”

Edwards warns however, thatthe standards are set high for thenaval cadets.

“Students can major in whatev-er they choose, but they also haveto complete courses that are spec-ified by the Navy, with the addi-

tions of the normal course load ofcollege,” he said.

The Naval Science curriculumwill be a four-year curriculumconsisting of approximately 27-33credits, Edwards said. Cadets canchoose an academic major andmeet all other requirements fortheir school of enrollment.

The Navy will develop thecontent and curricular materi-als for these courses. It willthen go through an approvalprocess at the University,which will create a CoreRequirements Committee that has the responsibility toreview and approve the cur-riculum, he said.

This committee will involvefaculty from the School of Artsand Sciences, the School ofCommunication and Information,the School of Management andLabor Relations and the MasonGross School of the Arts,Edwards said. Faculty from otherunits may be added.

Students must complete ayear of calculus by the end oftheir sophomore year and anoth-er year of calculus-based physicsby the end of their junior year,Edwards said.

Cadets are also required topar ticipate in physical drillsand tests like other militarypersonnel, he said. In addition,they must pass other require-ments such as correctable20/20 vision.

In the summer, NROTC stu-dents will spend time on shipsand submarines to train, hesaid. After their first year, theywill spend four to six summerweeks with regular naval units

Task Force talks mergingof South Jersey universities

BY ALEKSI TZATZEVASSOCIATE NEWS EDITOR

The University could lose its Camden campus in aproposed plan for a unified University of South Jersey.

The Governor’s Task Force on Higher Educationoutlined the possibility of the move in a December 2010 repor t, which also included recommendations for the merger between Rutgers-New Brunswick and the University ofMedicine and Dentistry of New Jersey. But fewnoticed the proposal.

Rutgers-Camden, Rowan University, the School ofOsteopathic Medicine in Stratford (part of UMDNJ)and the Cooper Medical School could become one insti-tution, according to the report.

The report read, “The South Jersey region is gross-ly lacking in higher education resources to meet thecurrent needs, let alone future growth.”

Most Rutgers-Camden students only found out yes-terday after the campus newspaper, The Gleaner, pub-lished a piece on the matter.

“It hasn’t really been a topic of conversation before,”said Sarah McCart, editor-in-chief of The Gleaner.“Right now it’s a lot of outrage and confusion.”

Some students are upset because of the possibility ofsplitting away from the Rutgers institution, she said.Most of the information available so far, however, isspeculative as the advisory committee on the matteronly provided loose recommendations.

She said if early intellectualswere aware of modern-daysocial and political issues, theymay not have written about Godas much.

“So why were they using thisword ‘God?’ Because they liked it,for the same reasons that I don’tlike it,” she said. “That is, if therewere no social or political issues,I might use the word too, to meanthe beautiful feelings we havebetween each other or the gloryof a sunset.”

She also speculates that manypoets, like William Shakespeare,were non-believers.

“If all of the great poets werebelievers, they would have beenreligious writers,” she said.“They didn’t believe dominantstories about what meaning is… John Keats, he never men-tions Jesus. In Shakespeare,there’s none of this kind of reli-gious thinking.”

Hecht also noted thatalthough she has the capacity tounderstand religious sentiment,she cannot wrap her head aroundthe supernatural aspect.

“I can feel all the feelings thatpeople call religious, and I don’t

think ill of them. I just don’tthink [these feelings] point toanything else, to the supernatu-ral,” she said.

Even two books of the Bible,Job and Ecclesiastics, haveaspects of humanism in them,she said.

“Job is a book of passionatescreaming at the idea that therecould be anyone making all this[the world] fair,” she said. “Theother [biblical] book praisedthrough atheist history isEcclesiastics. This is an incredi-bly secular book.”

Hecht wrote “The End of theSoul: Scientific Modernity,Atheism, and Anthropology inFrance, 1876-1936,” “Doubt: AHistory,” and “The HappinessMyth: Why What We Think isRight is Wrong,” along with twovolumes of poetry on atheism.

She has a Ph.D. fromColumbia University and teachesin the graduate writing programat The New School and the MFAprogram at Columbia.

James Palmer, a School of Artsand Sciences first-year student,was happy to hear a speaker onatheism at the University.

“I’ve watched atheist videoson YouTube, but this is the firsttime I’ve heard an atheist speaker… It’s a very homogenizing expe-rience,” Palmer said.

Barry Klassel, theUniversity’s humanist chaplain,said his organization bookedHecht to speak because she isan expert on the history of athe-ist thought.

“[Hecht] is an eloquent advo-cate for how poetry and the otherarts express the ultimate beautyand wonder of the natural uni-verse,” Klassel said.

Authors Jack Shaheen andKenneth Stern took on the subject of media bias againstthe Islamic and Jewish commu-nity Monday night in TrayesHall of the Douglass campus center, encouragingawareness against intoleranceand prejudice

Quoting an old proverb,Shaheen, a professor emeritusof mass communication atSouthern Illinois University,said even the donkey learns by repetition.

“If we repeat a lie oftenenough … the mythologybecomes reality,” he said “Sothe [purpose] of the gatheringtonight is to implant in thehearts and minds of each andevery individual gathered herethe idea that we should take this.”

Citing television showssuch as Fox’s “24” andShowtime’s “Sleeper Cell” aswell as the propaganda of inter-est groups, Shaheen said hefound visual images to be themost damaging medium to theimage of Muslims and Arabs.

In our society today, he saida comment or action displayinganti-black oranti-Jewish senti-ments is not tol-erated. Anti-Muslim senti-ment, however,is a dif ferentstory.

“If I goaround and sayI’m anti-Muslimor anti-Arab, Idon’t think manypeople will paymuch attention,”Shaheen said. “Ithink it’s almostacceptable … I can almost getaway with it. Why? Becauseour press, our information …teaches us primarily to fear allthings Islam.”

But Stern, a defense attor-ney, said he does not believe itis the form of media that caus-es a likelihood of hate speech.Rather it is what is being saidand where, as well as why it isallowed and how much of afight there is against it.

“Anti-Semitism has thecapacity to be a problem inplaces where there are noJews,” he said. “One of thecommon denominators in anti-Semitism … is it’s basicallyconspiracy theories. It’s a con-spiracy theor y that chargesJews with harming non-Jews.”

The connection between thetwo types of religious bias ishistorical, Shaheen said.

Shaheen said he pointed outthe similarities between histor-ical stereotypes of Jews andcurrent stereotypes ofMuslims.

“After the Holocaust, thecharacterization of Jews asmurderous anarchists orgreedy financiers was nolonger tolerable,” he said.“This caricature was soontransferred to another group of

Semites — the Arabs. Onlynow it wears a robe and head-dress instead of a yarmulkeand the Star of David.”

Shaheen said he hopes theevent would help foster toler-ance by allowing students tospeak about the issue andspread awareness.

“I would hope we are acountr y that eventuallyunlearns its prejudices at agreat cost,” he said. “WillAmerican-Muslims andAmerican-Arabs have to suf feras much as others? Will theyhave to be incarcerated or willsomehow a level playing fielddevelop beyond that?”

Yusra Syed, a School of Artsand Sciences junior, said thepanel allowed her to educate her-self about the prevalent issue.

“ [The panel] provided goodperspectives … these arethings that we need to talkabout more as a communityand we need to address asissues, especially becauseIslamophobia is so prevalent inour society,” she said.

Caitlin Scuderi, an instruc-tor for the Middle EastCoexistence House onDouglass campus, brought herresidents to attend the panel.

She said she felt the panelpresented animpor tant andrelevant issue forthem, and foundthe speakers tobe a good match.

“ J a c k[Sheehan], Ithought, wasobviously ver ypassionate aboutwhat he had tosay … Ken[Stern] … hasquite a good his-tor y andresearch … I

think they were very comple-mentary to each other,” saidScuderi, a political science doc-toral candidate in the School ofArts and Sciences.

Deepa Kumar, associateprofessor in the Department ofJournalism and Media Studiesand Middle East studies, saidthe panel was informative butmissed the parallels betweenIslamophobia and anti-Semitism and their modernef fects in the United States.

“Jews were in Muslim soci-eties, [that’s] an impor tantthing to learn. That was not …talked about in this panel, butit’s something that should betalked about more, especiallygiven the mainstream dis-course about a Judeo-Christiantradition with somehowMuslims being outsiders —that’s not true,” Kumar said.

The Alan and Joan BildnerCenter for the Study of JewishLife, the Center for MiddleEastern Studies, theDepartment of Jewish Studies,the Middle Eastern studiesprogram with the Departmentof Journalism and MediaStudies and the Institute onEthnicity, Culture and theModern Experience, cospon-sored the panel.

Humanist focuses on atheist expressionBY DANIEL GARBER

CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Bringing out a less techni-cal side of atheism, authorJennifer Michael Hecht spoketo University students abouther research on the idea of“Poetic Atheism.”

This version is an alternativeto New Atheism, which Hechtbelieves is overly materialisticand based in science.

“Throughout most of history,atheism has not been materialistand scientific — it has beenbased in the humanities,” shesaid at a discussion sponsored bythe Humanist Chaplaincy atRutgers University.

Hecht began studying the his-tory of atheism when sheencountered a 19th centuryFrench organization called theSociety of Mutual Autopsy,whose members dissected eachother after death and held anatheistic view.

“I found there was no goodhistor y of atheism, and that’s why I wrote [about it],”she said. “Everything I couldfind on the history of atheismwas either so pro-atheist thatevery smart, good person inhistory was one — which Iknew wasn’t true — or theywere anti-atheist.”

In her own atheism research,Hecht came across a variety ofhumanist and atheist sentimentin poetry.

“When I looked back throughhistory at a lot of my intellectualheroes who believed in God, Ifound what they actually believedabout the universe was, in manycases, not any different than whatI believe,” she said.

Mayor shares politicalviews with U. students

BY GIANCARLO CHAUXCONTRIBUTING WRITER

The Rutgers UniversityDemocrats invited PiscatawayMayor Brian Wahler to itsmeeting Monday, where theexecutive spent the eveningoffering students his opinionon issues af fecting bothPiscataway residents andUniversity students.

Wahler, a University alumnus,said students are an importantaspect of his job because theUniversity is Piscataway’s largestpublic employer, and many issuesthat affect his township alsoimpact students.

“There are a lot of studentshere that volunteer for the firedepartment or the emergencyservices,” hesaid. “That is abig plus for ushere in the townswith a studentpopulation, evenif some peopledon’t realize it.”

Because ofthe large numberof students inPiscataway whoeither commuteor live on Busch campus,Wahler described the connection between NewBrunswick and Piscataway asalmost magnetic.

“When Rutgers gets a cold, weget a migraine in our town,” hesaid to the audience members inHardenbergh Hall on the CollegeAvenue campus.

Wahler also touched onnational education issues. Hesaid University studentsshould to compete more seri-ously with their same-agecounterparts in countries likeChina and India who are gradu-ally beating Americans in alarge field of categories.

“You now have China andIndia investing more money inhigher education than the UnitedStates,” he said, “Why should wesettle for third?”

He said competitiveness —in all aspects of industry frominfrastructure to economy —has shifted from once beingbetween dif ferent towns in thenation to being betweenAmerica and other countries.

“For economics, we used tojust compete with the localtown next door,” he said. “Butnow we have to worry about

whether the jobs are going to locate to China and India or if they’ll stay here in New Jersey.”

Wahler said the first steptoward advancing the UnitedStates’s economy over its inter-national rivals is to fix prob-lems in Wall Street’s allegedfoul play and of fer a fair voiceto protestors in the “OccupyWall Street” movement.

“These [corporate employ-ers] are characters that knewthat the economy was going tocollapse and put millions ofpeople out of work, but did youhear of anyone being put injail? Nothing happened tothem, and that’s hard to imag-ine,” he said.

Though he is concernedwith the protestsat Wall Street,which have beengoing on formore than amonth, Wahlersaid that he wasmostly worriedwith the localrepercussions ofthe movement,but is gratefulthat local towns

like Piscataway have not beenbadly af fected by the incidents.

Matt Kohut, president of theRU Democrats, said he wasdelighted to have Wahler speakon campus.

Kohut, a School ofEngineering senior, said theturnout for the event was good,but he expressed his disap-pointment that University stu-dents are not more involved in politics.

“Students should definitely getout to vote more, whether it is forthe Republican, Democrat orother parties,” he said. “It isalways better to have more voicesto be heard.”

Christopher Pflaum, aUniversity graduate student, saidWahler was an ideal public officialto speak to students because ofhis own connection with theUniversity and present status asexecutive in a nearby town.

“He’s very knowledgeable, butalso down-to-earth,” said Pflaum,the former president of the RUDemocrats. “Being a mayor,Wahler talked about hyper-localevents. Since he is a member ofthe [U.S. Conference of Mayors],he was able to touch on nationalissues as well.”

to train and cover all aspects ofthe navy. This allows for stu-dents to explore further spe-cializing opportunities.

The Department of NavalScience is established primari-ly for naval students, so theywill have preference for navalcourses over other Universitystudents. But if there are openings, University studentsnot af filiated with ROTC arefree to take the classes,Edwards said.

Like the other units, NROTCoffers a four-year scholarshipprogram, Mabus said.

“If you’re coming from highschool, you should have a strongGPA with good SAT scores,along with the physical require-ments for all military personnel,including unit drills and physicaltraining,” he said.

Applications are reviewed bya selection board based on cur-rent Navy and Marine Corpsofficer production requirementsand are ranked against otherapplicants, Mabus said. If nomi-nated, the individual must suc-cessfully complete all other eli-gibility requirements.

“We came here because we wantto be part of Rutgers,” she said.

Andrew Lees, president of theFaculty Senate of the FacultyArts and Sciences-Camden, saidsome faculty members are con-cerned with possibly severinglinks between Camden campusand the rest of the University.

Lees is at the front of faculty-led dissonance with the proposedcreation of the University ofSouth Jersey.

“We are very leery of a merg-er, which would link us to a loweruniversity,” he said.

If Camden campus were tolose its connection to theUniversity, Lees said one of thedifficulties would be retainingand attracting top-tier faculty.

“The Rutgers name means alot,” he said. “And it’s not justnames — there are lots of waysour students benefit from beingpart of a larger university.”

He said the concern was notwith Rutgers-New BrunswickPresident Richard L. McCormickbut with the decision of his even-tual successor, as McCormick

“We’ve moved into a newbuilding in the Newark campustwo years ago and experienced arise in morale in both studentsand faculty,” he said.

To accommodate the largernumber of students, the businessschool is also increasing the num-ber of departments within theschool, Markowitz said.

“We created a supply chainmanagement major, which start-ed this year, and a business ana-lytics and information technologymajor that we will start nextyear,” he said.

Many people think the busi-ness school only offers an MBAprogram in the Newark campusand not in New Brunswick,Shafer said.

“We’ve graduated hundredsof MBA students in NewBrunswick,” he said. “In fact,last year there were more MBAgraduates from New Brunswickthan Newark.”

Stoll said the New Brunswickcampus is not strictly a part-timeMBA program, but just an untra-ditional one.

“What we currently have inNew Brunswick is a flex MBAprogram, in which a student cantake up to 15 credits and is notlimited to just between six to 12credits,” he said.

Markowitz said the newbuilding would be a proud addi-tion to the University’s NewBrunswick campus.

“[The building] provides uswith the symbol and stature of abusiness school,” he said.

already announced he would bestepping down at the end of theacademic year.

Mike Sepanic, director of com-munications at Rutgers-Camden,said students’ fears of attending aschool with a different name inthe near future was unfounded.

“We are recruiting students fornext fall to be Rutgers students,”he said. “This is a concept, this isan idea — it’s not a reality.”

Sepanic referenced theDecember 2010 report and therecent advisory committee’s rec-ommendations as nothing morethan a suggestion.

A Gov. Chris Christie-appoint-ed committee has been thesource of recommendations onthe subject.

Christie received HigherEducation Task ForceRecommendations on Jan. 4 andsigned Executive Order 51 to createthe Governor’s Higher EducationCouncil and Advisory Committeeon Graduate Medical Education.

The advisory committee’s lat-est report on Sept. 20, examinedthe state of medical education inNew Jersey and made recommen-dations accordingly.

It advocated for the expedit-ed merger of Rutgers-NewBrunswick and UMDNJ-Piscataway due to a “damaging

uncertainty regarding thefuture structure, affiliations andgovernance of … the Universityof Medicine and Dentistry ofNew Jersey.”

At the same time, the reportstated it was not yet ready to offerrecommendations regarding edu-cational facilities in southernNew Jersey.

“The committee plans in thenext phase of its work to considerwhether a new combination ofpublic higher education assets inSouthern New Jersey is potential-ly the best way for New Jersey tosupport and improve public med-ical education in Southern NewJersey and the vitality of theregion,” the advisory committeereported.

McCart said at the moment,there are too few facts confirminga definite split of Rutgers-Camdenfrom the University.

She said in the upcomingweeks, The Gleaner aims to pro-vide a forum for students and fac-ulty to express their opinions.

“We want to make sure thatwe are opening up dialoguebetween students and adminis-tration,” she said. “We are alsohoping the administration real-izes that we do consider our-selves a Rutgers campus not justa college in Camden.”

divisions on campus, said Lt.Col. Kenneth Patterson, profes-sor for Military Science forArmy ROTC.

Edwards said the NROTCcoming to campus is a great ben-efit for the other ROTC divisions,because it allows the Army andAir Force divisions to train withthem and share ideas.

Patterson said that the Armyand Air Force divisions workedhard with the University as wellas the Department of the Navyto convince them that theUniversity is the right place foran NROTC unit.

Through the program, stu-dents will graduate as ensignsin the military and will have afive-year commitment,Edwards said.

He said the benefits of theNROTC program would extendbeyond the military. Students willcome out with highly advancedtechnical skills, along with leader-ship abilities to help them landquality jobs.

Even though the specificrequirements are not online yet atthe University, the NROTC web-site at www.nrotic.navy.mil pro-vides information for prospectivestudents interested in the pro-gram, Mabus said.

Fifteen students are expect-ed to graduate ever y year,Edwards said. After a four-yearphase in period, the minimum

enrollment would be some-where between 65 to 90 stu-dents across all four years ofthe program, which is compara-ble to the Army and Air Force.

The Army ROTC currentlyenrolls 121 cadets while the AirForce enrolls 68, he said. The Army produces an averageof 15 commissioned second lieu-tenants while the Air Force com-missions 10 second lieutenants.

While the military pays forteachers, the University willfund the NROTC house, whichwill be located on 12 LafayetteStreet, and other minor secre-tarial duties, Edwards said.

Planning for the NROTC pro-gram began in 2009, when theUniversity’s administrators con-tacted the Navy about theNROTC program, he said. TheNavy responded favorably anddiscussions ensued.

Communications continuedon the establishment of theprogram, and in March 2010,the University of ficially appliedto host the NROTC unit,Mabus said.

“Rutgers has been extraordi-narily supportive for the estab-lishment of the NROTC,”Patterson said. “We look for-ward to helping them maketheir footprint at Rutgers, helpget them settled in the campusand beat them in flag football.”

Women’s rugby club reigns with undefeated recordBY SCOTT KILIANSKI

CONTRIBUTING WRITER

After returning home from a29-15 win against Stony BrookUniversity, the University’sWomen’s Rugby Football Club isclose to finishing the season asthey enter the playoffs.

The team finished third in itsdivision last season, but did notmake the regional playoffs sinceonly the top two teams in the divi-sion make the cut, said co-captainAshley Blackwell, a School ofArts and Sciences senior.

“Last year was a sort ofrebuilding year. We were in a tran-sition because we graduated someseniors,” said Anthony Lanzano,the team’s coach. “This season isa complete turnaround.”

Team members have set high-er goals for themselves this year

and with that, their undefeatedregular season record of 6-0 car-ries them to regional playoffs,Blackwell said.

The team has a bye next week-end and will face-off for the divi-sion championship in its nextgame, she said.

Lanzano, who coached theteam for eight years, said the toptwo teams in the division go on tothe regional playoffs, andwhichever team wins goes on tonational playoffs.

“I’m extremely positive on ouroutlook. I think we have the abili-ty to play at nationals, but we can’tlook farther ahead than the nextgame,” Lanzano said.

Blackwell said the club’spresident, Kathleen Kerwin, aSchool of Environmental andBiological Sciences senior, alongwith the other veteran players,

contributed to the team’s suc-cess this season.

Of 25 players on the team, 16were returning players fromlast year, which Blackwell saidis extremely helpful in a sport

that not many rookies haveplayed before.

“When you have a lot of vet-erans that know what they’redoing already, it helps a new

girl come into the game andunderstand what she has to do,”Kerwin said.

The team continues to practiceand stay in shape during the off-season, with workouts plannedahead that focus on improving itsskills and refining their strengths,Blackwell said.

During their practices, playerson the team do a lot of runningand endurance drills since rugbyplayers are constantly in motion,she said.

Players also lift weights off thefield because many positionsdemand a strong physical pres-ence along with the ability to runacross the field many times over,Blackwell said.

Lanzano also attributes theteam’s success to the closebonds formed between team-mates from practicing on the

field three days a week —Tuesday, Thursday and Fridayevenings on the club sports fieldon the Busch campus.

Blackwell said this year, theplayers are having a great timetogether, whether they are work-ing hard at practice or hangingout off the field.

“Your team really has to clickin order for you to be good, andour team gets along really well,which helps so much on thefield,” she said.

Lanzano said though rugby isa tough sport, many women havethe ability to play at a high level.

Blackwell said it is necessaryto have a diverse team made up ofplayers with different mental andphysical abilities for success.

“We encourage people of allskill levels, shapes and sizes toplay,” she said.

With 6-0 regular season record, 16 returning players, team members prepare to tackle division championships

With the funds, St. Peter’sUniversity Hospital plans toupgrade and refresh all its secu-rity equipment, said PhilHartman, director of hospital’sPublic Relations

“This enabled us to do that.This will certainly help us stream-line the function of the hospital,”Hartman said.

After being a target of previoushate crimes and terror attacks,

including bomb threats, TempleEmanu-El Office Manager DaraWinston elaborated on the neces-sity of these grants.

“After Sept. 11, we hadreceived some bomb threatphone calls. Following that, wehad implemented a buzzer andsecurity system,” she said.“Having a history of warnings,we definitely felt we could be atarget. Jewish organizations ingeneral are a target for terror-ism in this country.”

In order to be considered forthe funds, Winston said applicants

had to outline the exact ways inwhich their security systemscould be enhanced.

This process involved apprais-al by the police department inwhich weak areas were pointedout and considered for improve-ment, she said.

While Winston admits sheheard numerous complaintsabout the grant infringing onthe Constitution’s separationbetween church and stateclause, she said governmentofficials acted in a way they feltwould best protect theAmerican people.

“I don’t think in the grantprocess [DHS] said, ‘Let’s givethis percent of the money toJewish organizations,’” shesaid. “I think the considerationwas which organizations aremost at risk for terrorist activi-ties, and which organizationsare vulnerable and in needof reinforcement.”

Winston believes the reasonwhy most of the recipientswere Jewish groups is becausethese organizations are moreat risk.

Oren Auslin, a School ofArts and Sciences junior, feltsimilarly about the nature ofthe grants.

“Although the money isbeing spent to help secure reli-gious institutions and otherinstitutions around the state,I’m glad that there’s a programthat brings significant amountsof money for security to N.J. res-idents,” Auslin said. “Overall Ithink it’s a good thing.”

In an effort to enhance securi-ty across the nation, the UrbanArea Security Initiative awardedmore than $1.8 million in grantsto nonprofit organizations acrossNew Jersey that are likeliest to behit by terrorist acts.

The UASI, administered andfunded by both the FederalEmergency Management Agencyand the Department of HomelandSecurity, distributed these grantsto 27 sites, including NewBrunswick’s St. Peter’s MedicalCenter, and directed up to$75,000 to certain groups, accord-ing to the initiative’s website.

To allocate these grants,officials looked at a fixed crite-rion, which elaborated that onlynonprofits most susceptible toacts of terrorism because offlaws in their security would beawarded the grant, accordingto the website.

Gov. Chris Christie’s adminis-tration recommended organiza-tions that met the criteria to theDHS, according to a New JerseyOffice of Homeland Security andPreparedness press release.

Of the 27 final recipients, 20were Jewish centers, includingyeshiva and temples, with theremaining seven being medicalcenters and hospitals, accord-ing to the release. InMiddlesex County, St. Peter’sMedical Center, TempleEmanu-El and CongregationOhr Torah in Edison, were ofthe fund recipients.

Local town residentsretain historical ties

BY HENNA KATHIYASTAFF WRITER

While Helmetta Boroughonce served as a central hub ofsnuff production, it now stands asa community filled with a historythat remains prevalent today.

Home of the George W. HelmeTobacco Company, the boroughwas founded by the company’sowner George WashingtonHelme in the 1880s, according tothe town’s website. Some familieshave raised generations of chil-dren within the community.

Ronald Wilson, longtime resi-dent of Helmetta, was the plantmanager at the Helme Companybefore it closed down in 1993.

“The fact that I have lived heremy whole life and have raised mykids here and my grandkids arenow a part of the communityshows that the history of the townis still preserved through the newgeneration,” he said.

Sandra Bohinski, municipalclerk of Helmetta, called thetown’s history rich in culturesince it was a classic example of alate 1800s mill town.

“Helme opened up a snuff [ortobacco] factory in the town,”Bohinski said. “Most of the com-munity at that time was a factoryworker. Even the homes werefurnished by the company.”

Both the town, which sharesborders with East Brunswick,and company are more than acentury old, she said.

“The Helme Company was agreat help to the community,” shesaid. “It provided jobs for most ofthe community and they evenhelped build a few of the church-es that are still here today.”

Many residents of Helmetta,like Christine Reid, have lived inthe district their entire lives.

Reid, a resident for 53 years,said she still occupies the housein which she was born.

“I remember the snuff millwhen there was still a snuff mill,”she said. “Although the factory isno longer running, still seeingthe building everyday is a con-stant reminder of our history.”

The borough is no longeroperating as a mill town sincethe snuff factory closed in 1993,Reid said.

Former Middlesex County Sheriff Joseph Spicuzzo appeared ina Monmouth County court yesterday to answer charges of cor-ruption and bribery.

Spicuzzo, who served as sheriff for 30 years is accused of col-lecting $112,000 in bribes over the past 12 years in exchange forgiving out jobs in the sheriff’s office, according to an nj.com article.

The former sheriff is believed to have taken bribes from eightother people, ranging from $5,000 to $25,000.

These charges came to light earlier this year when Spicuzzowas arrested on March 8, two months after he formally resignedas Democratic Party chairman.

At court, Spicuzzo appeared to be frail, according to the article.He held on to his lawyer, Joseph Benedict’s arm, in order to stabi-lize himself.

“He’s not very well,” Benedict said in the article. “He suffereda stroke following surgery. He hasn’t fully recovered.”

Superior Court Judge Anthony Mellaci scheduled anotherhearing for Jan. 4 when the case will either be resolved or furtherlooked into.

FORMER MIDDLESEX COUNTY SHERIFFANSWERS CHARGES

OF BRIBERY, CORRUPTION

Although the factory shut downand the town doubled in size in thepast 20 years, there are things aboutthe town that have not changedsince the 1880s, Bohinski said.

“We are still the only town inthe area that has no traffic lightsin town,” she said. “We also stillusually have only one police offi-cer on duty.”

Bohinski said Helmetta dis-trict is a safe area, and thereforeno one worries too much aboutchildren wandering out late.

“Thankfully safety has neverbeen an issue in this town and wewant to preserve it that way,” shesaid. “We used to even have ourown volunteer fire department.”

Helme’s company, whichprocessed snuff, allowed itsworkers who volunteered withthe fire department leave in caseof a fire anywhere in the district,Bohinski said.

Wilson remembers the old townas a friendly forum in which all resi-dents were familiar with each other.

“The community was a lotcloser back in the day becauseeveryone worked at the factoryor knew somebody that workedin the factory,” Wilson said.“[But] the factory had to closedown because of the economyand environmental issues.”

The factory moved to WestVirginia in 1993 and became inac-tive, he said. Wilson said he isgrateful to have his old ties.

“I’ve lived here for 80 years, mywhole life, and although manythings have changed after the facto-ry closed down … it’s nice to stillhave people here who have alsolived here their whole lives,” he said.

The town changed and devel-oped with the modern times, butthe old snuff mill still sits adja-cent to the Camden and Amboyrailroad line running throughtown, Bohinski said.

Helmetta district leaders arebuilding more townhouses andapartment buildings to accom-modate the growing populationin the borough, she said.

“We once used to be such asmall town so it’s nice to see thatpeople are trying to move hereand start their lives and familieshere,” Bohinski said. “We want tostill preserve the history of thetown as much as we can.”

ly be “saved” or counseledinto contributing members ofsociety. If the proponents ofthis logic would equate whatis, in early stages of pregnan-cy, a lump of unformed andunspecialized cells with ahuman life, how could theypossibly justify ending anoth-er life prematurely by acting

as supreme judge of their conceptions of justice?A capital punishment can only be carried out if one

has committed a capital crime, normally displayed asaggravated (first-degree, pre-meditated) murder, trea-son, war crimes, etc. However, what constitutes a cap-ital crime is completely up to the jurisdiction of thestate. In some states, a capital crime can be apostasy,adultery, blasphemy, witchcraft, prostitution or drugpossession. In Georgia, for example, any offenderswho commit such acts while “previously convicted ofa capital felony” or “[creating] a grave risk of death toothers” are considered capital criminals. Under suchguidelines, if a defendant had previously been arrest-ed for possession of marijuana or witchcraft, and thencommitted any crime that caused grave risk to others(drunk driving, perhaps), that defendant could beawaiting a syringe filled with potassium and barbitu-

rates while strapped to a table. Theabsurdity is palpable, and it seems thatthe southern states of Texas, Virginia,Oklahoma, Florida, Alabama, Georgiaand both Carolinas cannot get enoughof executing their prisoners.

While proponents of the move-ment claim that the death penaltyoffers closure to victims’ families,serves justice better, acts as a crimedeterrent and contributes to depopu-

lating prisons, it is almost patently wrong to claim thesating of an animal reaction for revenge as justice. Aprisoner on death row costs two to five times as muchas a prisoner with a life sentence, appeals waste timeand resources in our judicial system, and capital pun-ishment has invariably put to death at least one inno-cent person. Kirk Bloodsworth, an honorably dis-charged Marine, was exonerated from death row –after nine years in prison — when DNA fingerprint-ing proved him innocent of the rape and murder of achild. Even one wrongful execution should be atragedy to the nation, and chances are that at leastone of the 475 executed Texans was innocent.

In a modern society, a nation should not usemurder as a means to convince others that murderis wrong. Even Justice John Stevens believed thatthe current system is flooded with racism and poli-ticking that invariably kills too many people.According to Stevens, it is possible with modernsensibilities and technology to ensure that the deathpenalty is no more.

C apital punishmenthas long been a con-troversial issue in the

United States. There are cur-rently 34 districts that haveoutlawed via legislation theapplication of capital punish-ment in any case, includingaggravated murder. However,some states, like Texas, con-tinue to employ the death penalty for criminals and addcases in which capital punishment may be applicable.There are certainly positive and negative aspects to thedeath penalty, which will be explained later, but it is inthe opinion of this author that the death penalty is aclear violation of the Eighth Amendment of the Bill ofRights, which states, “Excessive bail shall not berequired, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel andunusual punishments inflicted.” The United States can-not continue executing prisoners if it wishes to progressfurther in humanitarian terms, especially while actingas global arbiter for human rights violations.

The first documented case of the death penalty inthe United States occurred in 1608, when a militarycaptain accused of spying for Spain was put to death.The captain was executed by firing squad inJamestown with no recorded trial. From that point on,capital punishment became a staple forsevere crime punishment. In a compi-lation made by two researchers on cap-ital punishment, a few incredible factswere discovered. From 1930 to 2002,4,661 executions have been carriedout within the United States, althoughthe majority of these executions werecarried out between the ’30s and ’50s.Roughly one-third of all executionswere carried out in the past 60 years.

The United States did take some action to confrontexecutions in the 1970’s. A four-year moratorium wasplaced on capital punishment as a result of theSupreme Court case Furman v. Georgia, whichrequired consistency in application of the death penal-ty. In 1976, the power was restored to the states underthe stipulation that certain factors are consistent inthe judgment of character and the severity of crimeunder scrutiny, as per Gregg v. Georgia. Since capitalpunishment resumed, 1,271 criminals have been exe-cuted. Of those, 1,012 were carried out in nine states,eight of which are below the Mason-Dixon line. Texasalone carried out 475 executions, meaning the lonestar state averaged slightly more than one prisonerexecuted per month for the last 35 years.

Capital punishment is most fervently supported bysupposed pro-life conservative Christians, ignoringbiblical messages of “turning the other cheek”(Matthew 5:39) and the sixth commandment of Judeo-Christian belief, “Thou shalt not kill.” There appears tobe a fundamental gap in understanding of both scrip-ture and ideological consistency in this constituency. Itseems as though the irony is lost on those that wouldprotest abortion clinics but support a statute that mur-ders individuals for crimes — albeit normally heinous,but we’ll touch on that later — who could just as easi-

STORY IN UNIVERSITY

QUOTE OF THE DAY

A s technology matures — which it seems to be doing constant-ly these days — our way of life changes. Sometimes, thesechanges are radical, or at least potentially so. For example,

meet Siri, the artificial intelligence (AI) program built into Apple’s newiPhone 4S. Siri is essentially a personal assistant. Users speak to it, itinterprets their words using speech recognition technology, and thenit attends to their requests. But Siri is more than just voice-recognitiontechnology. It’s far more lifelike than most of the AI’s that consumershave been saddled with in the past. Siri actually grows and responds toits users. According to Apple, it can grow accustomed to users’ specif-ic speech patterns, thereby learning to better interpret their words andmake fewer mistakes. Siri also talks back to users — and it can havequite an attitude, according to some reviews. All in all, Siri is like hav-ing a little person inside of your iPhone, as creepy as that sounds.

But once you get over the initial shock and Terminator references— i.e., Skynet is here, come with me if you want to live, etc. — we guar-antee you’ll find yourself utterly enthralled by what Siri can do.Detractors of Siri are quick to make the claim that such a programmakes us lazier or prevents us from thinking. When you get down toit, however, Siri handles the dry work — finding restaurants, checkingthe weather, reminding you about your appointments, etc. This meansthat Siri actually frees users up to think more about things and specif-ically, more important things. Rather than jumping on Google to, say,find a good hotel, we can now let Siri search for us while we entertainpossible cures for cancer. That example is admittedly a little extreme,but we feel it illustrates a good point about Siri. With its help, we nolonger have to spend valuable time and energy tackling the mundane.

The goal of all technological advances should be to make life easierand more enjoyable for people. Siri meets that goal head-on, so whyworry about possible machine rebellions or supposed laziness? Suchthings are ultimately non-issues. Siri’s benefits far outweigh any detri-mental aspects it may have, and we cannot wait to see this technologyevolve further. Perhaps one day, everyone will have their own smart-phone-turned-personal assistant.

Cancer awareness appfails to reach potential

Appreciate benefitsof iPhone technology

O ctober is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Everyyear during this month, we find ourselves inundated by tonsof brand new awareness campaigns — which is a good thing,

because breast cancer is a serious threat, and people need to be edu-cated on the subject. However, a side effect of the annual rush fornewer and more relevant campaigns is that, inevitably, some of thesecampaigns miss their mark. Remember, for example, last October’s“Where do you keep your purse?” Facebook-status initiative, whichwas more puzzling than eye-opening. This October, Rethink BreastCancer is treating women to a smartphone app called the “Your ManReminder,” which uses a cast of very attractive and fantastically mus-cular men to remind users to be ever-vigilant for signs of breast can-cer. For a better idea of the app than print can give, check out RethinkBreast Cancer’s promotional video on YouTube. But while we thinkany mission to raise breast cancer awareness is noble, we think thatthe “Your Man Reminder” may be in danger of having its central mes-sage of awareness drowned out by all the noise surrounding it.

First of all, there is the very real and practical fact that the app fea-tures some incredibly sexualized men. Now, it is true that sex usuallysells — one need only look to the world of advertising to see that prin-ciple in effect. However, we wonder if sex achieves the same resultswhen it comes to cancer awareness. Sure, an overtly sexualizedwoman may be a good way to get a straight man to buy a car, but areshirtless, toned men a good vehicle for advice on how to maintain yourbreasts? Or will a muscular Adonis only distract from the core mes-sage, which is much more complicated than the simplistic “buy this”of the hypothetical car ad described above?

We also get the feeling from the promotional video that this app istargeted toward a relatively limited audience. Because of the look ofthe men in the app and the quirky sense of humor with which the appis presented, we feel that the app will really only strike a chord withyounger women, leaving older women out of the awareness loop.

Overall, the “Your Man Reminder” app is an interesting andclever idea. If it helps spread awareness to people, that’s great, butwe feel that it may be too ineffective to get as much done as it poten-tially could.

“A nation shouldnot use murder as

a means to convinceothers that murder

is wrong.”

CODY GORMAN

P a l e s t i n i a nAuthority orIsrael’s peaceagreement withJordan that theauthor carelesslyleft out of her arti-cle. It could be thatshe honestly does-n’t know they exist,and since she shamelessly denies Israel’sright to exist, that thought doesn’t surpriseme. What does surprise me is the blatantanti-Semitism the author displayed bydenying the Jewish right to self-determina-tion and the indisputable double standardsshe levied on Israel. It should also be notedthat this is not my idea ofwhat anti-Semitism is, butwhat the U.S. StateDepartment’s report onGlobal Anti-Semitismdeclared in 2004 and theEuropean MonitoringCentre on Racism andXenophobia declared in 2005.

The author, however, is just a smallvoice vomiting fringe information fromthe sterile trough of the anti-Israel move-ment. Unsurprisingly enough, this samemovement has joined hands with thethrongs of intellectually destabilized“Occupy Wall Street” protestors. I call thismove unsurprising for two reasons. First,many of the anti-Israel movements believein Marxist, Leninist and Maoist ideology— strong characteristics of those protest-ing Wall Street as well. The second reasonis because if you look at the history of

anti-banking senti-ment, it has pre-dominately beendirected at Jewsunder the commonmantra that Jewscontrol the moneyand the economy.

I wish I couldsay that instances

of anti-Semitism at “Occupy Wall Street”are isolated and do not represent thegroup as a whole, but unfortunately thatwould be a fabrication. On the “OccupyWall Street” website, a protestor rhetori-cally asks the question, “Who are we?” Heanswers with, “We are open to all ideas.

We are the ideas. We haveno leader. We are the lead-ers. We stand united. Westand as a voice of the peo-ple.” Apparently one ofthose ideas is that the “Ithink that the Zionist Jews,who are running these big

banks and our Federal Reserve, which isnot run by the federal government … needto be run out of this country,” as protestorPatricia McAllister said at “Occupy LosAngeles.” At “Occupy Chicago,” organiz-ers joined forces with an anti-Israel/American protest, where activistswere handed flyers that read: “Refuse topay taxes, Destroy Israel.” At ZuccottiPark in Lower Manhattan, one “OccupyWall Street” protestor is seen in a video-chanting that the Jews control Wall Street.

Perhaps it is for the aforementionedinstances that on Sunday, Oct. 16, the

American Nazi Party released a statementendorsing “Occupy Wall Street” claiming itis “Taylor [sic] made” for their cause. Theyenthusiastically continue, “After all — justwho — are the Wall Street bankers? Thevast majority are Jews — and the othersare spiritual Jew materialists, who wouldsell their own mother’s gold teeth for aprofit. And more and more people areaware of this truth, are not only not afraidto talk about it — they’re shouting it onWall Street!”

You see, the problem with having a“leaderless” movement with one unifiedvoice is that it gives the American NaziParty and anti-Israel movement equalleverage as those who want to reformbanking regulations and political contribu-tions. The “Occupy Atlanta” crowd cen-sored civil rights leader Rep. John Lewis,D-Ga., because the majority didn’t want tohear him speak. If a simple majority cancensor a prominent civil rights leader, whatwould happen if a simple majority begins toagree that the Jews control Wall Street?Herein lies the dangerous problem withthe “Occupy Wall Street” movement. Asthe group adopts more radical ideas anddangerous anti-Israel rhetoric, the protes-tors are legitimizing anti-Semitism and tak-ing it mainstream. I am not blowing anti-Semitism at “Occupy Wall Street” out ofproportion, I am only doing what they ask— looking at the movement as leaderlesswith one unified voice.

fact that their loved ones’ killersare now free from justice.

The exchange is clearly dis-proportionate, and from a purelypractical point of view, one mightsay this whole ordeal is a sad dayfor justice. Exchanging oneIsraeli soldier illegally kidnappedby Hamas for hundreds ofPalestinian terrorists rightfullyconvicted of murder is faultyarithmetic.

One of these “freedom fight-ers” to be set free is a youngwoman named Ahlam Tamimi.She helped the Palestinian causeby taking part in the infamous2001 Sbarro restaurant bombingin Jerusalem, which claimed 15lives, mostly children. Whenasked if she felt any remorse, shesaid, “I’m not sorry for what I did.I will get out of prison, and Irefuse to recognize Israel’s exis-tence. Discussions will only takeplace after Israel recognizes that

this is Islamic land. Despite thefact that I’m sentenced to 16 lifesentences I know that we willbecome free from Israeli occupa-tion and then I will also be freefrom the prison.”

I’ll ignore her delusional beliefthat the land of the Hebrew Bibleis “Islamic land” for now, andinstead touch on the other legiti-mate concerns of many withregard to this exchange. Israel ispaying as extremely high cost tobring Shalit home because manyof the terrorists being released

will almost certainly try to com-mit acts of terror and murderagain. Tamimi is but one of themany terrorists who have swornto destroy Israel if it’s the lastthing they ever do. Israel willsurely be facing heightened secu-rity risks in the road ahead, butIsraeli Prime Minister BenjaminNetanyahu seems to be operatingunder an age-old value of theJewish people, which proclaims,“He who saves a single life, savesthe entire world.”

Israel’s commitment to ensur-ing the safety of even one of itssoldiers — even when it meansreleasing hundreds of these pris-oners — is remarkable amongthe nations. Shalit became everyIsraeli mother’s son. Everyoneknew him. He became an hon-orary citizen of Rome, Paris,Miami, New Orleans andPittsburgh. The hope that hewould one day return home

burned bright for five long ago-nizing years. Though from a cost-benefit perspective this swapmight seem illogical, Israel hasgiven the humanistic approachpriority in Shalit’s case.

No one knows for certainwhat the released terrorists planon doing in the future. Thenames and faces of their futurevictims are yet unknown. Theirnew tactics in mass murder ofinnocent men, women and chil-dren is a mystery for now. Forthe time being, however, theemotional aspect of this bitter-sweet story can take charge. Thereturn of Gilad Shalit resonatesin the hearts of parents who lovetheir children in Israel and allover the world.

Theexchange of captive Israeli sol-dier Gilad Shalit for 1,027Palestinian prisoners has elicitedpositive and negative feelings.The Shalit family, Israelis andJews the world over, can breathea sigh of relief that after five longyears of captivity in Gaza, Shalithas returned home in safety tohis family and people.

A nti-Semitism is on the rise in theUnited States and around theworld. According to the Anti

Defamation League, 2010 saw a spike inanti-Semitic behavior for the first time insix years. The ADL documents incidentsof assault, vandalism and harassmentreported during a calendar year. However,this list of anti-Semitic incidents does nottake into account the subtle anti-Semiticbehavior so heavily utilized by anti-Israeland anti-banking movements throughoutthe world.

There are many different types of anti-Semites, but in America today there hasbecome an accepted norm in negativelystereotyping Jews and the lone Jewishnation. The working definition of anti-Semitism — regardless of what anti-Semites might tell you — is simply put,hostility or prejudice toward Jews. Thistype of hostility has manifested itself in aplethora of ways, and today the largestchallenge posing hatred toward the Jewishpeople is the rise of the “Occupy WallStreet” and anti-Israel movements.

I would first like to make it clear thathighlighting disagreement with specificIsraeli policy is not anti-Semitism. Everygovernment makes mistakes, and Israel isno exception. The difference between thetwo is also simple: It is OK to have anti-Israeli policy, but it is anti-Semitic to beanti-Israel.

H alloween is supposed to be a fun time for children, a time to dress up and, for once, safely acceptcandy from strangers. In order to ensure the safety of these young trick-or-treaters — i.e., makesure taking candy from strangers remains a viable option for the holiday — legislators of Riverside

County in California are considering a measure that would effectively shut sex offenders out of Halloweenfestivities altogether. If passed, the measure would ban register sex offenders from putting up decorationsat their home or answering the door for trick-or-treaters. We would like to see this pass, because it will helpto make Halloween a much safer holiday for all. We laurel the supervisors in Riverside County for consid-ering this idea, and we would like to see it spread to other places in America.

Former Pennsylvania senator and current Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum has a prob-lem with single mothers. According to him, they are enemies of the Republican party, because they look tothe government for help and thus support the Democrats’ supposed “big government agenda.” And what’sSantorum’s solution to the problem? Marry off the single mothers. Once they have a man in their lives,they’ll be sure to vote Republican. It’s good to know that, in Santorum’s world, women are abject failureswho cannot take care of themselves and need the aid of the government or a husband in order to survive inthe world. We dart Santorum for his absurdly backward notions about women.

ALEX VAN DRIESEN

Junior defensive end Ka’Lial Glaud has 12 tackles this season, including three for a loss andtwo sacks. He also recovered a pair of fumbles in a 38-26 win against Ohio.

Glaud felt the same exuber-ance Monday, when the Big East named Jones theleague’s Special Teams Playerof the Week.

The honor marked thefour th consecutive week aRutgers player earned a con-ference distinction and gaveJones something more to cele-brate before playing Louisville.

“I was really excited,” Jonessaid. “Coach actually told meright before practice [Monday]. Iwas excited.”

Glaud also had his own causefor celebration during the ScarletKnights’ fifth win.

The 6-foot-2 Glaud recordedhis first sack since theKnights’ opener against Nor th Carolina Central andmade two tackles for a lossagainst Navy.

Now the duo hopes thesame Winslow Township show-ing can duplicate itself in thesquad’s third Big East game.

While the wind posed a prob-lem, favorable course condi-tions helped the players adjustafter recent thunderstorms.

“The course was in greatshape considering all of therain. The greens were reallysmooth,” Waters-Ballard said.“The greenskeepers did agreat job.”

In addition to the second-place finish, the Knights werealso satisfied when they lookedbelow them in the standings.

St. John’s and Seton Hall, theonly other Big East teams in thetournament, finished in third andfourth place, respectively.

The Red Storm ended up 12strokes behind the Knights,while the Pirates trailed Rutgersby 19 strokes.

Although the conferencechampionships are more than six months away, theresults are still comfor ting to Waters-Ballard.

“We only see them a fewtimes before the Big EastChampionships,” she said. “It’snice going in to know that wehave an upper hand on some of them.”

The Knights have a chanceto continue their strong playthis weekend, when they travelto Bethlehem, Pa., for theLehigh Invitational.

The Knights will see a fieldcomparable to the RutgersInvitational, Waters-Ballard said.

comparable to one he missedagainst Syracuse.

An Orange receiver beatJones up the right sideline for afirst down after Jones broke ona hitch and missed on an inter-ception attempt.

When the opportunity cameon Saturday, Jones made sureto capitalize.

“It was a good feeling,”Jones said. “You work hard tomake plays, and the play pre-sented itself and I made it.”

While Jones continues toplay through a leg injury, headcoach Greg Schiano sees a con-tinued growth from his mostexperienced corner.

“He’s getting better,”Schiano said. “Juice is playing.He’s a tough sucker. He’s beenbanged up all year, and he justkeeps playing and makingplays. He’s a competitor.”

He also sees that same tough-ness in Glaud, who Schianodescribed as a “football junkie.”

It should come as no surprise that the two sharesimilar traits, since Glaud gaveJones his nickname in the first place.

The pair often ate meals together and watchedfootball following their highschool games.

Glaud settled on “Juice” asthe two watched former Illinoisquarterback Juice Williams.

“He was like, ‘I need a coolnickname,’ and I said ‘OK, we’llcall you Juice, ’” Glaud said.

And the name stuck. Jones arrived at Rutgers and

Glaud soon followed. Both didtheir parts in helping the otherget acclimated in Piscataway,Glaud said.

The comfort was especiallyimportant for Glaud, who knewno one but Jones when he firstjoined the Knights during hisrookie summer.

“I think it just makes mefeel comfortable,” Glaud said.“I really sensed it when I firstcame here. He kind of got meadjusted to the college life, andany advice that I needed he’salways there for me.”

In return, Glaud was thereto celebrate after Jonesblocked the first kick of hiscareer last week to preservethe Knights’ victory.

With the pair’s Winslow con-nection, it might as well havebeen Glaud who dove out-stretched from the right side tosnuff out the kick.

“First it star ted with hisinterception, and then we gottogether and looked at eachother and said, ‘No matterwhat, somebody has to blockthis kick,’” Glaud said. “And itcame through. One of my bet-ter friends blocked the kick,representing for Winslow well.”

junior Kelly Flannigan alsoplaced for the Knights.

“Our team is turning in a lot ofpersonal bests,” Robinson said.“So we’re really happy with that.”

Certainly they are aver y dangerous and capableteam that we need to be prepared for.”

A win is pivotal for theKnights, as the final three gamesfollowing Syracuse mark thetoughest portion of Rutgers’schedule. All three games areagainst ranked opponents.

But before the Knights canfocus on those three teams, theyneed to first work on overcomingthe Orange and finally erasingthe one point keeping them fromthe No. 1 spot in the Big East.

“The competition at regionalsis very tough, so we’ll just have tosee,” Bucca said. “Especially thisparticular one, there is nobody in

the tournament specifically betterthan anybody else, so this tourna-ment is very wide open.”

Led by strong senior leader-ship and solid doubles competi-tors, the Knights have an oppor-tunity to continue their improved

“I think I speak for the wholeteam that we’re going to walk invery confident and do well thisweekend,” Bucca said.

BIG EAST INCREASES EXIT FEE, TARGETS 12-TEAM CONFERENCEBig East Commissioner

John Marinatto of ficiallyannounced yesterday on a con-

f e r e n c ecall with

media that the league voted toapprove an increase in its exitfee for football schools from $5million to $10 million, barringthe addition of a specificallytargeted school.

No invitations went out yet,Marinatto said, but the league isprepared to increase from six to12 football schools.

Marinatto declined to namewhat schools the Big East is tar-geting, but ScarletReport.comreported the top six are Air

Force, Boise State, CentralFlorida, Houston, Navy andSouthern Methodist.

Air Force and Navy arebelieved to be theschools that wouldactivate the increaseof an exit fee.

“Each of our mem-ber schools is behindthis effort, and we areconfident we canachieve it,” Marinattosaid. “We hope tohave an announce-ment soon concern-ing new members.”

But Marinatto said the conference will not rush

its expansion “to meet any-one’s deadline.”

Marinatto also saidPittsburgh and Syracuse will

earn a release fromtheir two-month wait-ing period to leavethe league for theAtlantic CoastConference, meaningthey will remain inthe Big East throughthe 2013 season.

If necessary, the BigEast would play the2013 season with 14schools, Marinatto said.

The league remains opti-mistic it will maintain its

automatic Bowl ChampionshipSeries bid when it is re-evaluated after the 2013 season.

“It’s our commitment tomeet the standards movingforward to maintain our BCS[qualifying bid],” Marinattosaid. “We also believe it’s inthe best interest of the BCSfor the Big East to remain oneof the six conferences to con-tribute to the stability andproven ef fectiveness on thefield that the BCS offers col-lege football.”

against Pittsburgh andThompson took his spot.

The 6-foot-2, 260-poundThompson has six tackles since,including one for a loss, butrecorded only one tackle in thefirst four games while Larrowwas healthy.

But for Thompson, theearly part of the season stillmeant continued adjustmentto a new position after heplayed linebacker and defen-sive end last season and full-back in the spring.

“Marcus is learning,” saidhead coach Greg Schiano. “He’sa very gifted athlete. He justneeds to keep learning the job,learning the system. He’s goingto be a really good.”

Schiano says Thompson’sspeed and athleticism suit himfor the defensive line, eventhough he played linebacker andrunning back in high school.

Thompson said it is his nat-urally aggressive nature,which translates well toSchiano’s defense.

“The way our defense is setup, the d-line has to move,”Thompson said. “Plus I’maggressive and I have goodstrength, so I use that to myadvantage. … That’s what I liketo do basically: run into people.”

SOPHOMORE HOLDER J.T.Tartacoff played against Navywith his left hand wrapped, andSchiano said it might have beena factor in San San Te’s missedfield goal in the fourth quarter.

“I’d like to be able to sayno, but maybe,” Schiano said.“We were all under theimpression, including him,that it wasn’t going to be a fac-tor. It was the of f-hand and itwas the back pinky.”

Senior safety Pat Kivlehan isstill listed as the backup holderon the depth chart.

SENIOR FULLBACK JOEMartinek averaged more thanfive touches for 62.3 yards pergame over the past threeweeks, and Schiano said

Martinek’s role could expandif his production continues.

“The way Frank [Cignetti]and I look at things is you earnyour touches,” Schiano said.“And every time he’s touched it,he’s done pretty good stuff, sohe keeps earning more. I thinkhe’ll have a great second part ofthe year if he can stay healthy.”

FRESHMAN WIDEOUTMiles Shuler played in only theseason opener against NorthCarolina Central, but Schianosaid he remains an option forplaying time.

The U.S. Army All-American can play receiverand return punts.

“He’s definitely in the mix,”Schiano said.

THE BIG EASTannounced Monday thatRutgers’ Oct. 29 matchup withWest Virginia will kick of f at3:30 p.m. at High PointSolutions Stadium and bebroadcast on ABC.

Knights faceOrange withfirst on line

BY VINNIE MANCUSOCORRESPONDENT

The Rutgers men’s soccer team under-stands how significant the No. 1 can be forthe program. The Scarlet Knights missed

out on a Big EastTournament berthlast year by onlyone game.

The Knightsfind themselves insecond place this

season in the Big East Red Division, only one point behind conference leaderSouth Florida.

Rutgers’ next chance to finally erasethe one-point deficit comes tonight, whenit returns to Yurcak Field to face confer-ence-rival Syracuse.

While the Orange sit in dead last in theleague standings, the Knights know thereare no guaranteed wins in the Big Eastportion of the season.

“We are taking it one game at a time.We don’t go into any games thinking weare automatically going to win,” said sen-ior forward Ibrahim Kamara. “It is justone game at a time because the Big Eastis ver y dif ficult. Any team can beat any other team at any given time. We just want to maintain our momentum intoone game, then into the next game and so on.”

The Knights enter the matchup in themidst of a three-game winning streak, allwithin the Big East. Their last win, a 1-0 victor y against DePaul of f a goal by Kamara, marked Rutgers’ first confer-ence win on the road this season, as wellas the first shutout this season for the defense.

But Syracuse visits Piscataway withimpressive conference achievements ofits own. The Orange held Louisville, thethen-No. 11 team in the country, to a 0-0tie earlier this season.

When junior defensive end Ka’LialGlaud peered across to Brandon Jones

after his blockedkick against Navy,

he could not help but erupt into a frenzy.Not because of the magnitude of the

play — it preserved a one-point lead forthe Rutgers football team with four min-utes to play — but because of who madethe play.

For Glaud, seeing Jones block a kickbrought as much satisfaction as if heblocked it himself.

“I felt like I did it as soon as Juice was outthere making the plays,” Glaud said of the jun-ior corner, his former teammate at WinslowTownship High School. “I felt the rush he felt.As soon as it happened, we made eye contactand jumped up and celebrated with eachother, and I felt exactly what he felt.”
