Fundraising effortapproaches half ofbillion-dollar goal

BY ANKITA PANDASTAFF WRITER

The University’s largest fundraising campaign, “OurRutgers, Our Future: A Campaign for Excellence,” isnearly at its halfway mark, with $472 million of the $1billion goal collected so far, said Rutgers UniversityFoundation President Carol Herring.

Although contributions to the University havedecreased because of the economy, Herring remains opti-mistic that loyal donors will continue to provide support.

“Money is harder to raise right now … a lot of peoplehave been hit hard,” she said. “But we find that peopleknow that now it is even more important to give to a causethey care about, so they try even harder to find money.”

Most individual donors are University alumni, butmany people unaffiliated with the University choose tocontribute, Herring said.

“Rutgers does so many things and has so manyinteresting programs that there are a lot of projectshere that people who have never gone to Rutgers areinterested in supporting,” she said.

A PACT FOR AWARENESS

Pentagon leaders confirmed yesterday that having gaytroops serve openly in the military would not have a detrimen-tal effect on the armed forces’ ability to fight, according to TheAssociated Press.

A new poll shows most troops would not mind having the“don’t ask, don’t tell” policy repealed, according to the AP. Thelaw, in effect since 1993, prohibits those who identify as gayfrom serving.

President Barack Obama is opposed to the ban and is urgingthe Senate to repeal it before Congress leaves Capitol Hill for itsrecess in a few weeks, according to the AP.

“I am absolutely confident that [service members] will adaptto this change and remain the best led, best trained, bestequipped fighting force the world has ever known,” Obama said.

But it seems unlikely Republicans who favor the policy will beconvinced otherwise before Congress adjourns.

Sen. John McCain leads the effort against repealing the lawand said the charge to do so, which is politically motivated,threatens morale in the military and is dangerous at a time whenthe country is involved in two wars, according to the AP.

Sanctuary serves up aid for LeGrandBY JACK MURTHACONTRIBUTING WRITER

Sanctuary Inc., an EastonAvenue eatery, raised about $1,000for injured University football play-er Eric LeGrand on Mondaythrough eating.

Half of the restaurant’s gross prof-its from the benefit serviced the “EricLeGrand Believe Fund,” said RichardBorr, owner of Sanctuary.

“It was such a horrible thing thathappened to LeGrand,” Borr said.“We wanted to do what little wecould to help him and his family.”

LeGrand suffered a paralyzingspinal cord injury on Oct. 16 during

a University football game against Army.

Every order placed added to theSanctuary’s contribution, whetherfor deliver y, takeout or dine-in,Sanctuar y Manager AmandaMoyer said.

Sanctuary, along with many NewBrunswick businesses, relies onUniversity students to stay afloat, shesaid. When the University is in need,local businesses must respond.

Cory Zoblin, a School of Arts andSciences senior, said Sanctuary’sefforts to help LeGrand is an effectiveform of charity. He said groups ask-ing for change outside of BrowerCommons on the College Avenue

campus might not catch mostUniversity students’ attention.

“Most people get annoyed whenthey are solicited for change,” Zoblinsaid. “When they go to Sanctuary,they just want to buy food.”

Stephanie Haue, a School of Artsand Sciences sophomore, said cus-tomers might be more inclined to ordermore food because of the benefit.

“With food, you can never gowrong,” Hau said. “If you order more,it’s like leaving a tip for [LeGrand].”

School of Arts and Sciences jun-ior Matthew White said off-campusbenefits such as this highlight the

The committee received thischarge more than a month ago,after the Douglass GoverningCouncil petitioned for a changelast semester, said AdamHelgeson, student co-chair ofthe Student Affairs Committee.

With the holiday seasonapproaching, customers wereable to purchase $1 paperbacksand $2 hardcover books thisweek at the University Press’first warehouse clearance sale.

The sale ran Monday andTuesday from 12 to 5 p.m. onLivingston campus and featuredan extensive line of books, rang-ing from cosmology to AlfredHitchcock’s script and commen-tary for “North by Northwest,” atprices below list price.

University Press DirectorMarlie Wasserman said the clear-ance sale is a good way to giveback to the community whileincreasing public awareness.

“It is a great opportunity toshow everyone on campus thewide range of what we publish,”she said. “Because we’re doingthis right before the holidays, itis a way for people to get beauti-ful and wonderful books for aninexpensive amount of money.”

Customers could find recent-ly published books in the mainroom of the University Pressoffice, said Elizabeth Scarpelli,marketing and sales director forUniversity Press. Hardcoverbooks were available for $10 andpaperbacks for $5.

“I hear people walking andsaying, ‘This is the University

Press, I think it is the newspaper,’and they have no idea what we dohere,” she said. “They think allthe books are these dry, boringmonographs, but it’s not. We’vegot some great accessible books.”

In the main salesroom, booktitles included “Local Heroes:The Asbury Park Music Scene,”“Sex and the University” and“There’s More to New Jerseythan the Sopranos,” she said. It isalso where the University Press’titles on subjects like Americancinema and regional books on thetri-state area were sold.

Although only cash andchecks were accepted, customers

who purchased two or morebooks received an additional dol-lar off the order for every bookpurchased, Scarpelli said.

Maisy Card, a second-year grad-uate student at the School ofCommunication and Informationwho was helping out at the sale, saidshe felt tempted by the low prices.

“I think I may actually get someof these clearance books beforethey are all taken,” she said.

Cathy Liapes, instructionalcourse designer at the School ofSocial Work, said the warehousesale was her first visit to theUniversity Press and she wasimpressed by the low prices.

“The books and the prices arewonderful. I bought severalbooks for my husband, who is ahistory teacher, for Christmas,”she said. “[The University Press]is a treasure that maybe peopledon’t know too much about, so I’lldefinitely be telling my col-leagues to look.”

The University Press usuallyholds an annual holiday sale, but itis traditionally limited to recentlypublished N.J. trade gift books,Scarpelli said. The majority of cus-tomers who are aware of the saleare University staff and faculty.

The warehouse clearancesale is dif ferent because it

features a larger selection oftitles and is marketed to thepublic, Scarpelli said.

“Wasserman and I wanted tocreate an event that showcasedmore of our titles, particularlyour trade titles and academictitles,” she said. “The warehousesale allows anyone to come in,browse our titles and becomemore familiar.”

The University Press hasminimal visibility because it islocated on Livingston campuswhere parking can be difficult,Wasserman said. The ware-house sale reminds peoplewhere the University Press is,and the variety and quality ofbooks they provide.

“Unlike today’s sale, the annu-al holiday sale is primarily overthe Internet because we found itdifficult during the holidays tofind a central place on campus,”she said. “[So the warehousesale] is the only on-site sale thatwe really have.”

Established in 1936, theUniversity Press publishesapproximately 90 books per yearin print and electronic format,offering an array of disciplinesacross the humanities to generaland social sciences, Scarpelli said.

For those who were unable tomake it, select titles from thewarehouse clearance sale will beavailable via the University Presswebsite, she said.

“This is hard for the team andthe [University],” Moyer said. “Itis important for us to give back tothe [University], becauseSanctuary would not be what it iswithout the students.”

Michelle Coleman, the RutgersUniversity Student Assembly rep-resentative for the council, said theline is no longer applicable, and itrefers to a time when women werenot allowed to attend the Universityby virtue of their gender.

“That’s not what an alma matershould be celebrating essentially,”she said. “When you consider theimplications of what it means to besinging the alma mater … it shouldapply to your experience at theUniversity. It should be inclusive ofall the people who attend [and] bebroad enough to include the peoplewho attend.”

Coleman, a School of Artsand Sciences sophomore, saidthe council is not suggesting itshould ignore history, but if peo-ple believe this is the purpose ofan alma mater, then the currentlyrics are obsolete at this point.

reflect everyone here so we wouldnot have to change it again,”Helgeson said.

The Student Affairs Committeecreated a sub-committee of aboutseven people who are compiling asurvey to determine alumni opin-ions, Helgeson said.

“The subcommittee has startedthis examination and will reach outto various stakeholder groups togauge feelings about any modifica-tions of the wording or the songitself,” said Rabinowitz, an associ-ate professor of management andassociate dean at the Rutgers-Camden campus.

The Student Affairs Committeewill use its research to make rec-ommendations on whether thelyrics of the alma mater need revi-sion, which will be presented tothe full University Senate, he said.

“People who have graduatedfrom Rutgers have immensepride in the song and might notappreciate the change,” Helgesonsaid. “If the alumni do not like thesong we come up with and wechange it, we could lose funding.”

From an objective viewpoint,Coleman said it would makesense to leave the alma mater’slyrics if the compromising ofalumni contributions would pre-

vent certain students from beingable to attend.

“I can’t imagine that [action]would be looked upon with anyamount of understanding on any-one’s part,” Coleman said. “I thinkthat would be kind of disgraceful on[the alumni’s] part to be conscious-ly taking away from students.”

But regardless, she does notthink its revision would everspark such a consequence.

The decision lies ultimately inthe hands of University PresidentRichard L. McCormick and theSenate, which consists of currentstudents and faculty as well asalumni from the New Brunswick,Newark and Camden campuses,Helgeson said.

Aside from the sub-committee’sinquiries into the song, School ofArts and Sciences senior DanielComito conducted related researchfor his thesis about the history ofthe alma mater at the University andhow other colleges have completelychanged their songs, Helgeson said.

Although the DouglassGoverning Council asked for thisissue to be visited, the Universityhas received other complaints inthe past, Helgeson said.

“This is not the first time theissue has been brought up,” he

said. “It was brought up a fewtimes during the 20th century, asearly as 1930, even before theUniversity was integrated as a co-educational institution.”

The interest of currentUniversity students in changingthe alma mater caught theUniversity’s attention on this issue,Helgeson said. But not all studentswant a completely new song.

“It would be in everyone’s bestinterest if we changed the exclu-sively male lines to either includefemales or be gender-neutral,”said Chelsea Gohd, a School ofEnvironmental and BiologicalSciences first-year student. “Weshould keep most of the almamater the same because it is sucha deep-bred tradition.”

The alma mater has under-gone several changes over theyears, from verse revisions oradditions to a completely newsong, which are no longer in prac-tice, Helgeson said.

“It is being worked on, but ittakes time,” he said. “We just needeveryone to be patient so we canmake it meaningful and applicableto everyone.”

what they can to help out. It iscommunity building.”

Some University studentsthink areas like Easton Avenueare an irreplaceable part of theUniversity community.

“Even though it is unofficial,Easton Avenue is pretty much apar t of the University,” Zoblin said.

Sanctuary employeesworked to ensure the majorityof the restaurant’s customerswould know of the benefit,Moyer said.

Tanzi said he learned of thebenefit weeks before through signs posted aroundthe eatery.

“We handed out flyers forabout two weeks,” she said.“Every time we delivered food,we put flyers in the bags.”

The restaurant’s advertisingcampaign paid off, Moyer said.Sanctuary achieved their goal ofraising $1,000 to $2,000.

Sanctuary often serves food toUniversity football players, Borrsaid. The tragedy hit close to himand his staff, particularly becauseof their connection with the team.

“I know a lot of the players,”Moyer said. “I know what theyare going to buy. They are regu-lar customers.”

University football players tooknotice of the benefit, she said.Several players ordered food fromSanctuary on Monday, while otherschose to stop in for snacks.

“The football team comes inall of the time,” Moyer said.“They have always been greatpatrons. They were glad to helptheir teammate.”

School of Arts and Sciencessophomore Egzona Marku saidoutside of collecting money,Sanctuar y’s actions canreignite awareness ofLeGrand’s tragic situation.

“[Sanctuary’s charity event]makes people more aware of

what is going on with LeGrand’ssituation,” Marku said. “It ismore about involvement thanjust throwing money at hisproblem. This will bring atten-tion back.”

The benefit also served as areminder for LeGrand and hisfamily because community sup-port for his situation is pivotalright now, Marku said.

“I think it will help him in hisrecovery, knowing that the com-munity is behind him,” Markusaid. “It is something to encour-age him to keep going.”

Motivation for the eventstemmed from heartbreak felt forLeGrand’s condition, along with adeep connection with theUniversity, Moyer said.

“We are going to donate themoney we made,” she said. “It isno cost to anybody but us. We feltreally awful for LeGrand and weare glad to help him in what littleway we can.”

The University has a processfor attracting donors, Herringsaid. First it identifies potentialsupporters from a list ofUniversity alumni, then it worksto cultivate their interest in donat-ing to certain causes and finally itsolicits the individual’s money.

Donors are either individualsor corporations and foundations,she said.

“There is no typical donor,”Herring said. “We get probablyabout 55 percent of our moneyfrom individuals and theremainder from corporationsand foundations.”

The organization has laid outspecific uses for the $1 billion, saidJulie Shadle, the Foundation’s vicepresident for Campaign andDevelopment Operations.

Forty percent will go towardsupporting faculty and research,25 percent will support students’learning through scholarshipand fellowship, she said.

Meanwhile, 15 percent will befor campuses and their facilities,15 percent will go towardUniversity and community pro-grams, and the remaining 5 per-cent will be used for miscella-neous needs, she said.

Students are also playing arole in the fundraising effort,Shadle said.

“We do have some studenthelp in our annual giving pro-gram, which requires students tohelp us with our Telefund effort,so these are paid student helperswho call alumni and ask them tomake donations,” she said.

Students sometimes inspirealumni to donate by speaking infront of the Board of Trusteesabout their experiences atschool, Shadle said.

“That is always very powerful,for alumni and donors to hearwhat life is like for current stu-dents,” Shadle said. “It is a veryinspirational thing for prospec-tive donors.”

Herring said while studentsare not overwhelmingly involvedwith the campaign, she remainshopeful they can come togetherin a joint effort and raise money.

“We hope we will be able toget students to work together togive a senior class gift when theygraduate … and that students

GOAL: Fifteen percent of

will think … about how muchhelp they are getting from thosepeople who went before themand how much they can help thestudents who come after them,”Herring said.

Robert Mortensen, a mem-ber of the Board of Overseers —the financial arm of the RutgersFoundation — said he raisesmoney for the campaignthrough the Rutgers UniversityGlee Club and Mason GrossSchool of the Arts.

“Annually, or at least everytwo or three years, [members ofRUGC Advisory Board]rehearse and then perform withthe undergraduate Glee Club,so that is a great motivator forthe alumni, and it is certainly alot of fun for undergraduates aswell,” said Mortensen, chair ofthe RUGC Advisory Board.

Mortensen, also chair of theMason Gross School of theArts Leadership Council, saidhe helps potential donors withsingle cash donations, gift plan-ning and fundraising for new buildings.

“I make phone calls to peo-ple that either I or theFoundation have identified andare interested in a specific area… and I convince them, usuallywithout a great deal of trouble,that they want to support some-thing that is important tothem,” said Mortensen, aUniversity alumnus.

Donors generally choose howto allocate their contributions,Shadle said. It is rare for theFoundation to decide how fundswill be used.

“We do rarely get … unre-stricted gifts where the founda-tion would make the decisionabout where to allocate thosefunds … for example, theymight look over to thePresident’s Fund whereUniversity President [RichardL.] McCormick would have thedecision to decide how to applythe dollars,” Shadle said.

Herring remains hopeful thatby 2014 the Foundation willreach its goal of $1 billion.

“It is ambitious … It is twicewhat the goal of the last cam-paign was,” she said. “It’s notgoing to be easy, especially inthis economy, but we have a lot ofvery good support.”

The Foundation developedthe idea for the campaign in2004 and in 2007 put it into ef fect.

London students turn violent amid tuition hike riotsTHE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LONDON — British policemade 153 arrests during studentdemonstrations in London yes-terday against proposed universi-ty tuition hikes, officials said.

Police reported the arrestsfollowing a day of cat-and-mousebetween demonstrators and riotofficers that culminated in a vio-lent standoff in the capital’sTrafalgar Square.

Students are furious aboutthe coalition government’s deci-sion to allow schools to triplethe cap imposed on tuition fees,allowing the best universities tocharge up to 9,000 pounds($14,000) per year in a bid toreduce the burden on Britain’sdebt-laden public sector. Britishstudents currently pay up to3,000 pounds ($4,675).

Earlier this month, activiststried to ransack the governingConser vative Par ty’s head-quar ters in London in aprotest, touching of f a wave of demonstrations.

“We need to keep up thismomentum because eventuallywe’ll get through to them andwe can start negotiations,” saidShayan Moghedam, 17, fromWoodhouse College in northLondon. “This is not some-thing that can just be ignoredand the fact that students keepcoming out week after weekproves that.”

Moghedam was one of thou-sands of young demonstratorsmarching, staging sit-ins at uni-versity campuses and — in atleast one case — occupying localgovernment offices.

One hundred fifty-three British students were arrested while protesting proposed tuition hikes yesterday in London’s Trafalgar Square. The increase in fees would triple tuition for students who currently pay up to 3,000 pounds.

The demonstrations were mostly nonvio-lent — police in Birmingham praised studentsfor their sensible and “wholly peaceful”protest. But in London, demonstrators veeredfrom the planned route and scattered acrossthe wintry streets. Lines of police in fluores-cent yellow vests stood guard outsideParliament, where lawmakers were debatingthe merits of the fee hikes.

As evening fell, protesters congregated inTrafalgar Square, vandalizing Nelson’sColumn — erected in the honor of theBritish naval hero — and attacking nearbybusinesses. Police said two officers wereinjured in the clashes.

Elsewhere, thousands of students from thesouthwest English city of Bristol’s two univer-sities marched on the city’s shopping district.The demonstration was largely peaceful,

although at one point protesters lit flares andpelted police with ketchup and mustard.

In the northern city of Sheffield, policeguarding the constituency office of DeputyPrime Minister Nick Clegg shrugged offsnowballs as they faced off against about200 protesters.

Clegg — the leader of Britain’s LiberalDemocrats — has come under particularlystinging criticism over the proposedtuition hike. His party, which once enjoyedstrong student support, had pledged tooppose any such move — only to renegeon the promise once it joined theConservative Party as the junior partner inthe coalition government.

“Nick Clegg is a snake,” said GraceCharlesworth, 17, also from WoodhouseCollege. “He said our educations didn’t

depend on the money in our parents’ pock-ets but that is exactly what it will become.He is a lying snake who couldn’t care lessabout our education.”

Prime Minister David Cameron said yes-terday students have “a responsibility to knowthe full facts about what they are objecting to.”

“This is a solution that is fair on the tax-payer in a time of financial anxiety,” he said ina statement. “It’s fair on the student, who willget better teaching and it’s fair on the gradu-ate, who will pay when they can afford it.”

Back on the frozen streets of the Britishcapital, students weren’t buying it.

“I honestly just feel cheated by the entiresystem,” said Victoria Rabin, 18, of westLondon. “I don’t know what the right thing todo is, but I want my voice to be heard. Therehas to be some sort of middle ground.”

into the real world andfound your own companypotentially making millionsor even billions of dollarslike Zuckerburg?

These entrepreneurs hada brilliant idea that revolution-ized the world, along with ahighly practiced skill in theirrespective fields that made

the option of dropping out of college worthwhile forthem. Attending college for the rest of us does havemany benefits, one being the option for us to exploreour talents before deciding on a career. As authorTucker Max writes in “Assholes Finish First,” “Thebiggest difference between school and work is not freetime, not responsibility, not money, not even access tocollege bars and parties. The biggest difference ishope.” He goes on to say no matter how hard classesor exams might get, students know that college iseventually going to end and that we can go on to dosomething different.

I came into college with aspirations of going to med-ical school to become a cardiologist, but soon found sci-ence courses to be dull and uninteresting. I then sought

anthropology, business and econom-ics. After two years of switchingmajors, I realized my passion lies inwriting. I cannot imagine how miser-able I would be if I went straight intomedical school and not had the previ-ous two years to explore my strengths.College also gave me the opportunityto participate in activities that betterhoned my skills as a leader and helpedstrengthen my characteristics as an

individual. Where else can someone be a president of anorganization, journalist, politician, researcher, etc. whilesimultaneously balancing academics? College gives usthe ability to participate in so many diverse activities andexplore various perspectives of life that it would makethe most ambitious polymath envious.

Aside from helping to discover who we truly are,college gives us a lesson that would take several yearsto gain in the real-world discipline. Gates did not justwake up his sophomore year with a revelation anddecide to pursue computer programming. He had beendoing it ever since he attended Lakeside School in theeighth grade. He had the discipline to sit on a comput-er for more than 10,000 hours until he mastered thesubject. The same holds true for Zuckerburg. Theseindividuals possessed discipline well before collegeand at an age earlier than that of their peers. Jobs stillaudited classes at Reed College even after he droppedout of school. He later stated, “If I had never dropped inon that single [calligraphy] course in college, the Macwould have never had multiple typefaces or propor-tionally spaced fonts.” Perhaps the idea of college is not

R apper Kanye Westmentioned in his “LilJimmy Skit” on the

“College Dropout” album thathis father passed away andleft him with all of the aca-demic degrees that heearned, joking that he was soobsessed with gettingdegrees that he stole his son’sas well. “I’m gonna learn too, I’m gonna get supersmart so that I too can die without … I won’t have anymoney. But I’ll be the smartest dead guy,” he said.

Now, now Mr. West, we obviously know that thehigher the degree we earn, the more significant oursalary potential will be. Consider the statistics showingcollege graduates earn an average of $20,000 more peryear than those with a high school diploma or GED,according to the National Center for EducationStatistics. A master’s earns $8,949 more annually thana bachelor’s degree in philosophy, $11,232 more inchemistry and $16,103 more in economics.

Aside from what our degrees will earn us in dollars,does college really make us smarter? Most of us arevery aware of the screeching cries in residence hallswhen a student finds out she failedher organic chemistry final exam orthe constant blabbering we face froma student who received an NP on hisfourth “Expository Writing” paper.Isn’t our grade point average just anumber that hangs lazily under ournames on a transcript? Does our GPAtruly reflect how smart or mentallycapable we are? I would probably bemuch more intelligent if I was lockedin a Barnes & Noble for a year, enjoying all the booksI’d like to read rather than coming to college (provid-ed that the Starbucks is fully stocked). As Walter Kirndescribed in his memoir “Lost in the Meritocracy,”“the temple of higher learning he expected [atPrinceton] was instead just another arena … of kiss-ing-up, cramming, and competition.” Are we really lostin the meritocracy of the University? Did MarkZuckerberg, the college student who dropped out ofschool and became a multi-billionaire by startingFacebook need meritocracy? How about Bill Gates, co-founder of Microsoft and one of the world’s richestmen, who dropped out of college in his sophomoreyear. Let’s not forget Steve Jobs, who has a net worthof $5.5 billion but dropped out of Reed College inPortland, Ore., after just one semester.

The aforementioned individuals did not need acollege degree to become successful or enhancetheir academic abilities. They had the motivationand discipline to focus on their goals and to accom-plish them. I believe the same holds true for a widepercentage of students here at the University. But ifcollege does not necessarily make you smarter,then why attend college at all? Why not venture

Alcohol ad banserves no purpose

T he U.S. Supreme Court chose on Monday to disregard anappeal to a ban on alcohol advertising in Virginia’s collegenewspapers. The appeals came from the American Civil

Liberties Union of Virginia but were turned down by the court.We disagree with this decision, not because of the inherent disre-gard for the First Amendment but because of the pointlessness ofthe law. The upheld law bans the advertisement of beer, wine,mixed drinks and the mention of “happy hour” or any alcohol-related lingo.

In reality, a large part of the college population across thenation is of age to drink alcohol. Advertising wine, beer and what-ever else companies sell is a good business decision and one thatbrings revenue to the always-struggling college newspapers.This action benefits both the company and newspaper and equal-ly promotes legal drinking to legal drinkers. Furthermore, allow-ing these advertisements to be published does not af fect under-age drinkers who will most likely continue to drink in their residence halls illegally rather than at any bar promoted in a col-lege newspaper.

Limiting these advertisements hinders newspapers and compa-nies alike. These limitations are placed on commercial speech andadversely affect a college newspaper’s ability to continue publica-tion. Two of the biggest examples are newspapers at two majoruniversities — University of Virginia and Virginia Tech. Thesepapers are put at a disadvantage when competing with other pub-lications for ad revenue.

The Supreme Court refused to review the decision by the FourthCircuit Court of Appeals — the ruling banning these ads — and weagree with this decision. The Supreme Court has more importantmatters to rule on. However, the arguments will continue in thelower courts, and that is what Virginia’s college newspapers need.We support the removal of this ban if there is to be any sort of fair-ness to the university papers as far as financial security goes.

S hould professors leave unruly classes? The simple answeris no. But something does need to be done with studentswho seem to be paying attention to their phones rather

than the class material. A Syracuse University professor set of f adebate two years ago with a simple policy — if a student is spot-ted texting, he would walk out of the class. While we do not agreewith this approach, we think there should be stricter measuresagainst those students who find a given class less interesting thantheir lives.

At the University, we need more professors who have authorityover their classes, no matter the issue — Facebook, texting ortweeting. Instead of walking out of a class they are paid to teach,professors should be implementing their own rules. Grade reduc-tion or at least threatening to take away points are just two optionsfor when a student is seen texting in class. Even kicking the stu-dent out would serve a better job, allowing those who want to learnto do so.

In the chaotic environment of a college class, professors musttake control, rather than hinder the performance of those studentswho are in class to learn. Those students who disrespect the classand the professor only take away from the rest of the class, whoare hopefully there to learn.

There is a certain classroom etiquette, which professors shouldenforce if students cannot adhere to it. We all pay the same over-inflated tuition and a lot of us take out student loans, but in the end,we are here to learn. And along with the rest of the student popu-lation, we must be held up to some standard. Professors should bethe ones who determine them.

By leaving a class, professors show a disregard for the rest ofthe students’ intentions of learning. Leaving makes educatorsseem unbothered by the fact that students will be the ones to suf-fer. There are better ways of upholding some sort of classroomstandard. Embarrass the student, sure. Call them out and perhapsthey will not text again — or at least not as transparently. We allpay the thousands of dollars per year for education, and when aprofessor chooses to leave simply because of an inconsiderate stu-dent, we do not get our (inevitable) debt’s worth.

We need stricter rules against phones, if only to protect thevalue of education, otherwise we risk going into debt withoutlearning much. It is up to professors to implement individual rulesfor classes, because walking out is not an option.

Professors must makerules against texting

However, the implication thatUniversity education has some-how been degraded as a result ofallowing a certain type of studentto attend is foolish, arrogant andprofoundly irritating.

RU1000 points out that TheCollege of New Jersey tightenedadmissions standards, which ledto a rise in the SAT scores ofincoming freshmen — a strangeargument since any serious edu-cator is aware that the SAT doesnot truly reflect academic ability.It goes on to mention that theUniversity’s entering class wouldsomehow have a combined mathand critical reading score of 1360by now if it followed similar pro-cedures, but laments that “youcan do things at a small public lib-eral arts college that you can’t doat a state university.”

Perhaps RU1000 and its sup-porters need a dose of reality.Our institution is a state universi-ty for a reason — it made a con-scious decision to become one inthe 1950s and pledged to aban-don intense notions of an “acade-mic reputation” for the sake ofproviding a strong education to

as many students in New Jerseyas possible. That is the purposeof a public-run state university —to serve as the highest avenuefor public education in the stateof New Jersey. It is therefore asi-nine to assert that the Universityis worse off for attempting to ful-fill that purpose by letting in“poor students.”

The purpose of placementexams, introductory coursesand other mechanisms is togroup students by their currentability in order to further pre-pare them in a university setting.University academics are unaf-fected by this, and most “goodstudents” will find that theirclassroom experiences are notworsened by the presence of

these “bad students.” Lectureclasses function with a hugenumber regardless, 300- and400-level courses are usuallypopulated with serious studentsof a given major, especially sen-ior seminars and so on.

Most students will findinstead that it is those studentswho are painted as good whomake learning difficult by press-ing professors for “A” gradesthey do not necessarily deserveand expressing their anger atthem for not succumbing to theirwishes by way of a bad teachingreview — essentially a kiss ofdeath for non-tenured faculty.

Not only are most “seriousundergraduates” unaffected, butthe reputation of our University isalso untouched. Because ofresearch grants and other formsof funding being tied to graduateprograms rather than undergrad-uate programs, other institutionstend to overlook most negativetrends in the undergraduate pro-grams, which are overstated any-way. And it is true that theUniversity will always have stu-dents here to party, but serious

thought reveals the fact thatmany partying students are eithersequestered in majors such aspsychology or destined to fail outof the University.

It is relatively easy for a groupsuch as RU1000, which has rela-tively no political power, to panicnonsensically over issues such asthese. However, logic — and lim-its greater than 750 words — sug-gests otherwise. It is interestingto me that issues such as SATscores and our school’s reputationare brought up constantly byRU1000 and its supporters —essentially an obsession over theUniversity’s rank in popular con-science and publications such asU.S. News & World Report. Iwould like for RU1000 to answerthe following question: What doesour University truly gain frombeing an academically-elitistschool such as Columbia orPrinceton, and how does thattruly help students in New Jersey?

I have attended the Universityfor several years and havebeen hearing about the

RU1000 Movement for quitesome time. After initially beingquite amused at the “PresidentMcGormless” interview on theirwebsite, I read an argument thatis a point of contention betweenme and anyone who seriouslyendorses their entire platform.

I agree that it is frustratingto deal with higher tuition andsalary freezes when $100 mil-lion is being invested in a foot-ball stadium. I also agree that itis silly for parties to claim thatthe University athletics pro-grams are generating revenuewhen they would likely be hem-orrhaging money without sig-nificant financial support. Andyes, I do not dispute that it isdifficult to justify spending cutsdue to unwise spending andthat the sheer number of stu-dents our University boasts canbe somewhat questionable.

shots in Rice’s motion of fense. The Rochester, N.Y., native

is third on the team in scoringin the young season, averaging9.8 points per game.

But Miller should not feelburdened on the offensive end,particularly with a unit thatcame into the season with veter-an guard play, according to Rice.

“I don’t know who said that[Miller] has to take over agame,” the first-year headcoach said. “Who says he hasto take over a game? He’s gotto play stronger. He’s got tofinish a little bit harder, but asfar as taking over games, Ithink we’re a team that doesn’thave a guy to just say, ‘Go getme 30. Go get me 20.’”

Miller’s woes on both endsof the court against St. Joe’smagnified a larger defensivestruggle in Philadelphia,where the Knights gave up 42second-half points.

Rutgers also allowed theHawks to shoot 51 percent fromthe field in the contest, including

St. Joe’s 4-for-9 effortf r o mbeyond thearc in thes e c o n dhalf.

“ W ed i d n ’ taccept thec h a l -l e n g e , ”

said senior guard MikeCoburn, the Knights’ leadingscorer with 11.4 points pergame. “We didn’t communicatevery well. We let guys driveright by us. As a team, we justdidn’t play good team defense.”

Miller rebounded in thesecond half to play 13 minutesand attacked the basket moreoften, but for minimal results,as he finished with a seasonlow two points.

Miller’s best play came whenhe drove to the bucket from theleft sideline with less than fiveminutes remaining and foundfreshman forward GilvydasBiruta under the basket with anifty pass for a dunk.

But his performance was acase of too little, too late,Miller said.

“Me playing within the sys-tem in the beginning hurts mea little bit because I wait solong to finally play how I wantto play,” he said. “Coach Ricelets me play the way I want toplay, but at the same time, Ihave to be aggressive and getthe guys the ball. I wasn’tattacking the basket. I wasn’tof fensive rebounding thatmuch. I was lost.”

Miller and the Rutgers (3-2)offense get a chance to reboundfrom their loss on Fridayagainst NJIT (1-3) tonight at theLouis Brown Athletic Center.

The Highlanders heldMiller scoreless in last year’smatchup in Newark, but thatwas with depar ted veteransGregory Echenique, HamadyN’Diaye and Mike Rosario.

For the Knights to replicatelast season’s 71-62 win, Millerwould rather find himself onthe stat sheet than three seatsdown from Rice.

“Coach Rice prepares us toplay anywhere,” Miller said.“To help my team win, I haveto play with the same energy that everybody else isplaying with.”

SYSTEM: Rice relies on

balanced motion offensive plan

continued from back

going this season, a reflectionof the team’s inability to playman-to-man due to an extrafocus on offense this of fseason.

Temple welcomes the Knightsto McGonigle Hall fresh off a twogame road losing streak, but lookto make it two straight seasons ofbeating Rutgers after a 61-52 winlast season in Piscataway.

And with 6-foot-3 center JoelleConnelly and 6-foot-4 centerVictoria Macaulay on their ros-ter, the Owls have no intentionsof dropping their third straight.

Still, the Knights come intothe game with the past four winsbehind them and according toStringer, they can easily turn itaround on the glass despite anobvious height deficiency.

“You can be the smallest teamin the world, but you know that youcan be far, far better if you justblock out,” Stringer said. “A person5-foot-9 can block out a 6-foot-3.You may not get the rebound your-self, but you can block them outand we’re not doing that. That’ssomething I’ve got to emphasize.”

“I think it is great,” Schianosaid yesterday at his weeklypress conference. “I think it isgreat for the league. I reallythink they are a very good foot-ball program. I don’t know aton more about the University.I know Gary [Patterson] welland I think Gary is an excellentcoach and a great person. It isgoing to be great to have himin our league. I love it, I think itis great.”

TCU ranks third in both theBCS Standings and TheAssociated Press poll and pres-ents the possibility of recruit-ing more in the state of Texasfor the Scarlet Knights.

“It might,” said Schiano onpossibly opening up recruitingopportunities in the Lone StarState. “Obviously this isn’t thefirst time I have heard it. I did-

n’t wake up and TCU was inthe league. We actually consid-ered it two years ago.

“Houston is a hub forContinental and Dallas, there is a zil-lion flights out of there, so we havethought about it. It is just manpower. The further you spread your-self, the less information you reallytruly get. I am trying not to makerecruiting mistakes. When youmake them, they really hurt you.”

Horned Frogs immediately become Big East’s bestBY SAM HELLMAN

CORRESPONDENT

It’s a great day to be a frog.Not only does Texas Christian

get a shot at an automatic BCSbid byj o i n i n gthe BigEast, butit adds

m a j o rlegitimacy in all of its sports byjoining the conference.

Oh yeah, and TCU is probablythe odds-on favorite to win theconference from Day 1.

In terms of the power rank-ings, three teams are still in therunning to go to the BCS andthere is no way that any team getsan at-large bid.

All Connecticut has to do iswin against South Florida, aftertaking out Pittsburgh and WestVirginia in back-to-back games.

West Virginia needs a win andan UConn loss, and the Panthersneed a lot of magic.

1.) TCU (12-0) — It doesn’tmatter that the Horned Frogs arenot in the conference for anothertwo years, they’re already the best.Rutgers better win the conferencenext year, because the odds

decrease significantly with theaddition of TCU to the Big East.

2.) West Virginia (8-3, 4-2) —Though the Mountaineers lostheads-up to UConn, they have themost talent on both sides of the ballin the conference. That much isclear. Also the idea of Connecticutrepresenting the Big East in theBCS is kind of hard to picture.

Defensively, West Virginia isthe only team in the country tonot yet allow 21 points in a gameand they rank second nationallyin both scoring defense andrushing defense and third intotal defense.

3.) Connecticut (7-4, 4-2) —The Huskies have perhaps themost potent offensive weapon inthe Big East in running backJordan Todman, who has 1,481rushing yards and 14 touchdownsthis year. It’s just hard to rank ateam that lost to Rutgers as thetop in the conference.

4.) Pittsburgh (6-5, 4-2) — Thetop team in the preseason pollsneeds a lot of help to win the BigEast and may not even stay above.500 if the Bearcats put up half theoffensive onslaught they didagainst Rutgers at Nippert Stadium.

5.) Syracuse (7-5, 4-3) — TheOrange started off strong butsort of came back down to earthat the end of the season. Still,becoming bowl eligible in DougMarrone’s second season is animpressive feat.

6.) South Florida (7-4, 3-3)— Already bowl eligible in SkipHoltz’ first season, SouthFlorida has a chance to playspoiler and alter the Big Eastpicture against the Huskies.

7.) Louisville (6-6, 3-4) —The Cardinals qualified for abowl game for the first timesince 2007 after taking downRutgers but will probably notget one of the Big East’s sixbowl bids and end up some-where random.

8.) Cincinnati (4-7, 2-4) —Cincinnati, like Rutgers, is notgoing bowling this season, buthas the oppor tunity to playspoiler in the final week.

The Bearcats havePittsburgh on the schedule andcan crush the Panthers’ BCShopes even before all eyesdescend on Raymond JamesStadium at 8 p.m.

“I did it last year and Ithought it was a great experi-ence,” Beauharnais said. “Like Isaid last year, I used to play asNoel Devine in [“NCAA Football2008”] and he was one of myfavorite players. It’s just a privi-lege to go against him.”

BEAUHARNAIS, WHOswitched from outside to insidelinebacker over the offseason,is fourth on the team with 69tackles and credits outside line-backer coach Tem Lukabu withhis successful transition.

“He does everything he can,everything in his power,”Beauharnais said. “If he has tostand behind me and tell me whatto see, he does it. He does it all. Ispend so much time with him.That’s honestly the only guy I talkto during the week. We spendhours and hours together.”

9.) Rutgers (4-7, 1-5) — Italmost seems unfair that of everygame to be nationally televised ona Saturday, it’s when Rutgerstakes on West Virginia with the

Miller facesgrowing painsin new system

BY TYLER BARTOASSOCIATE SPORTS EDITOR

Dane Miller usually occupies the wingfor the Rutgers men’s basketball team,shoots a mid-range jumper at the elbow or

attacks the paint.But recently

the sophomorewing has foundhimself in a mored i s c o n c e r t i n glocation under

head coach Mike Rice — the bench.“Dane’s certain stat line does not help

us win at all,” Rice said after a Friday lossto St. Joseph’s. “Your supposed go-to guyis sitting on the bench. When you callplays for him, he’s not finishing at therim. Again, he’s going to learn. The lastthree minutes [against St. Joseph’s], hefinally went to the rim. He’s got to learn,he’s got to learn.”

Miller played only 11 minutes in thefirst halves of the Scarlet Knights’ twoprevious wins against Miami and NorfolkState. The sophomore followed up thosefirst-half performances with just six min-utes of action in the first stanza againstSt. Joe’s.

The Big East’s 2009-10 Rookie of theYear runner-up picked up six combinedfirst-half personal fouls in the process.

“I got in foul trouble easy, like the lasttwo games I got in foul trouble,” Millersaid. “I was doing stuf f that didn’t fit intothe rules of our defense.”

On a Knights team that lost its leadingscorer from the past two seasons to transfer,Miller and his 11.9 points per game in con-ference play last year were supposed to becounted on early.

But Miller’s foul troubles impeded hisof fensive consistency through fivegames, leading to forced, out-of-sync

Stringer seeksstrides on glassagainst Temple

BY ANTHONY HERNANDEZCORRESPONDENT

Sure, the Rutgers women’s basketball teamrides a four game winning streak into tonight’s

7:30 p.m. matchupagainst Temple.

And yes, theScarlet Knights (4-2) conquered theirstruggles of trav-eling west last

weekend by taking home the Hyatt PlaceLady Rebel Round-Up in Las Vegas.

Still, head coach C. Vivian Stringerknows how to keep her team levelheaded,and this early on in the season, that could bethe difference between winning and losing.

“I want them to laugh and have fun, but inthe next two or three weeks we will probablytake them through a lot,” Stringer said. “They’llprobably think, ‘Oh, coach really doesn’t likeme,’ but we see things and we can be small, butwe can do something about that smallness.”

No one is having more fun right now thanjunior forward April Sykes, who led the Knightsin scoring in each of the past two games.

Not only is Sykes pacing the teamoffensively as she always knew she could,she is starting to knock down shots frombeyond the arc, something she struggledto do in her first two seasons on the Banks.

Sykes delivered a 6-for-9 shooting clipfrom 3-point range in Las Vegas to earnthe Tournament MVP title, putting tofruition the promise she showed out ofhigh school as a deadly 3-point shooter.

For the Starkville, Miss., native, it wasjust a matter of letting the game come to her.

“After the North Carolina A&T game I wasa little frustrated with myself personally,”Sykes said. “A lot of people saw it on my faceand I wasn’t feeling like myself. I’ve beenhere so long and I’ve struggled for so longand I felt like it was time for me to break out.I had a conversation with coach [Chelsea]Newton and she just told me to let it flow.”

The improved production does not endwith Sykes though, as a number ofKnights also jumped on the scoringwagon for the team to see success.

Overall, Stringer’s squad boasted a 48.6field goal percentage in Nevada, thanks inpart to the performances of junior KhadijahRushdan and sophomore Monique Oliver.

Oliver established a presence in her returnto her native Las Vegas, averaging 14.5 pointsover the two wins, while Rushdan, the team’sleading scorer, did her part from the perimeter.

The junior guard averaged 13.5 points for thetournament to help guide the Knights to theirfirst two road wins this season, which shouldbode well for the team as the season unfolds.

“It’s a big deal because it’s always hard toplay on the road,” Rushdan said. “Wheneveryou’re able to get wins being on the road, itmakes a big difference. I think it helped our con-fidence knowing we can be on the road and actu-ally win while we’re not playing at the RAC.”

But if the Knights want their winstreak to be intact after their battle withthe Owls (2-4) tonight, they will have toturn their attention to two of the most fun-damental components of the game ––defense and rebounding.

Opponents are outrebounding Rutgersby four boards a game on average, whiletwo of the worst rebounding performancesof the season for Stringer’s team came in itspast two wins against Pacific and OregonState — two programs that do not measureup to the team’s Big East competition.

The Knights were edged on the glass by acombined 15 rebounds in the two games, whileStringer noted weaknesses on defense as well.

Knights take opportunity to learn from DQBY MATT CANVISSER

CONTRIBUTING WRITER

The Rutgers swimming and diving team setseveral lofty goals for itself before this season,

but it never expectedthat learning to deal

with adversity would be on that list. That is where the Scarlet Knights

stand now, trying to evade the hauntingmemor y of a disqualification inMorgantown, W.Va., that cost them themeet against Big East rival West Virginia.

The rebounding process began the weekendof Nov. 19 when 14 teams converged for theFrank Elm Invitational at the RU Aquatic Center.The Knights (1-3, 1-3) managed to emerge fromthe field relatively unscathed with a third placefinish and a score of 1026 over the three-dayevent. Only Big East foe Pittsburgh andBucknell, who finished with 1576.5 and 1157.5points, respectively, bested their total.

Sophomore Taylor Curado paced Rutgers,capturing one of only three first-place finishesfor the squad. Curado completed the 100-yardbutterfly in 56.41, which was good for the vic-tory. The win keeps her undefeated in the100-yard butterfly for the season.

“The 100 fly has been the strength ofmy swimming and practicing,” Curadosaid. “Training with the girls on this teamhas helped me to get faster. We push eachother a lot in practice situations, whichpays of f during meets.”

The other swimming victory for theKnights came in the form of junior JacquelynWard, who took first in the 400-yard individual SEE KNIGHTS ON PAGE 13
