Police arrest four in city demonstrationsBY AMY ROWE

ASSOCIATE NEWS EDITOR

Of the many community protestors assembling in downtownNew Brunswick for daily marchesafter the police shooting of a cityman, four were arrested over last week.

About 50 people marched yesterday evening from the inter-section of Throop Avenue andHandy Street around Douglass cam-pus, through Route 18 and back, ina protest against alleged police bru-tality involving 46-year-old Barr yDeloatch, who was shot after a scuf-fle with two New Brunswick police of ficers.

Throughout the week, protestorsblocked traffic by standing in themiddle of intersections, causingdelays for campus buses and com-muters. As the protestorsapproached the star t point, theyblocked the intersection despitewarnings from police officers, saidLt. J.T. Miller of the New BrunswickPolice Department.

Two people continued to block trafficin the intersection — 35-year-old TormelPitmann, who led the protests every daysince the Sept. 22 shooting, and 19-year-old Gabriella Aron, a School ofEnvironmental and Biological Sciencesjunior. They were arrested for obstructinga highway and other public passage,Miller said.

Aron was released by the nextday, he said.

Police officers were stationed in carsalong the protest route, making sure theprotestors stayed on the sidewalks.

“[Officers said] they were not allowedto block traffic or arrests would be made,”Miller said.

At Saturday’s protest, organizers wereconscious of keeping participants on thesidewalk in single- or double-file linesaway from the streets, with memberswearing reflector vests leading the way.

“The more civilized we act, the moreanimal they act … and the more power wehave,” Pitmann said on Saturday after hewas released on bail from police custody.

Some U. studentsparticipate in NYCWall Street protests

BY TABISH TALIBCORRESPONDENT

NEW YORK CITY — The New York City PoliceDepartment arrested more than 700 protesters at theBrooklyn Bridge as thousands marched on Saturday fromZuccotti Park in downtown Manhattan into Brooklyn as partof the “Occupy Wall Street” movement, which is now on Day 18.

A handful of University students participated in theprotests, including Rutgers University Student AssemblyPresident Matt Cordeiro and RUSA representative to theUniversity’s Board of Governors Kristen Clark. NoUniversity students were arrested.

The movement protests the corporate greed and influ-ence of corporations and money in government, saidCordeiro, a School of Arts and Sciences senior.

“The movement is trying to do something really posi-tive,” he said. “People are upset, concerned and angryabout the current economic and political situation.”

Police allowed protesters to walk on the bridge’s pedes-trian walkway, but some broke of f and protested in thestreet instead, said a spokesman for the Office of theDeputy Commissioner, Public Information.

This forced police to close the Manhattan-outbound sideof the bridge for three hours while they arrested the group ofprotesters, the DCPI spokesman said.

“Anyone on the walkway was fine, anyone in a traf fic lanewas arrested,” he said. “[Protesters in the traf fic lane] hadthe chance to leave but they chose not to.”

Cordeiro heard about the “Occupy Wall Street” move-ment through Reddit.com. He was impressed by how theprotest took shape quickly and was organized despite lack-ing a leader.

More than 700 Wall Street protesters march from ZuccottiPark to downtown Manhattan to Brooklyn on Saturday.

Conference exposes Caribbean influence on campusBY KIERSTAN ZINNIKAS

CONTRIBUTING WRITER

After receiving the NicolasGuillén Prize for PhilosophicalLiterature, Junot Diaz, PulitzerPrize-winning author andUniversity graduate, saidspeaking on campus about theCaribbean this weekend feltlike home.

Diaz, who was present withother scholars and activists at theeighth annual conference,“Shifting the Geography ofReason,” signified recognition ofthe Caribbean’s growing influ-ence upon the University commu-nity, said Nelson Maldonado-Torres, Caribbean PhilosophicalAssociation (CPA) president.

The conference, which alter-nates its meeting locationbetween the Caribbean and theUnited States, focused on a cen-tral theme and motto, “Shiftingthe Geography of Reason,” whichchallenges how people thinkabout where reason and rationali-ty are found, said Maldonado-Torres, an associate professor inthe Department of Latino andHispanic Caribbean studies.

“Usually we are trained to con-ceive of reason as somethingemanating or coming out of thewest or Europe only,” he said. “Sothat Europe or the United Stateshave reason and theory and the

rest of the world has experienceor culture.”

Diaz expressed positive atti-tudes toward the conferenceand its ef forts to establish aglobal conversation that forhim hits home.

“It’s an extraordinary time andan extraordinary honor,” he saidwhen he received his award.

Having the conference at theUniversity acknowledged theeffort for Caribbean studies ini-tiatives, including an increaseof hiring specialists on campus,he said.

“By bringing new blood thereis a new energy and a new set ofquestions,” said YolandaMartinez-San Miguel, professorin the Department of Latino andHispanic Caribbean studies.

The Caribbean StudiesInitiative is an effort of the Officeof the President, Vice Presidentof Academic Affairs and theExecutive Dean of Arts andSciences, she said.

So far six faculty membershave been hired in the last two tothree years because of the clusterhiring initiative, which wasdesigned to bring growth to theLatino and Hispanic Studiesdepartment as research on cam-pus, Martinez-San Miguel said.

These hires went to variousdepartments, such as women’sand gender studies and history,

and a Presidential PostdoctoralFellow in Africana Studies washired as well, said MichelleStephens, a CPA member.

Martinez-San Miguel hopesthe result of the additions willkeep the department and theUniversity on the forefront ofany questions and debates thathelp to find new boundaries tomake Caribbean studies more provocative.

The conference includedper formances, panel discus-sions and guest speakers. Thepanels focused on topics suchas education, epistemology,shifting geographical imaginar-ies and social change.

Stephens, an associate pro-fessor in the Department ofLatino and Hispanic Caribbeanstudies, served as a panelistwho spoke about the theme,“Rethinking the Caribbeanfrom Archipelago Studies.”

“The panel was about the geo-graphic structure of the islandand how it can be a kind ofmetaphor and grounds for abroader way of thinking aboutquestions of nationalism and sov-ereignty,” she said.

One segment of the confer-ence included the distributionof awards.

The CPA presented theFrantz Fanon LifetimeAchievement Award to Molefi

Kete Asante, a professor in theDepar tment of AfricanAmerican studies at TempleUniversity, and Michel-RolphTrouillot, a professor of anthro-pology at the University of Chicago.

The CPA, which was foundedin Mona, Jamaica, also takesother initiatives to convey its mes-sage and start dialogues with oth-ers across the globe, such as pub-

lishing the CLR James Journal,named for a theorist fromTrinidad, said Maldonado-Torreswho has been with the CPA sinceits beginning.

The CLR James Journal,which they publish twice a year,features essays by scholars,special issues on Caribbeanthinkers, key ideas or problemsin the region as well as poetry,he said.

Rebuilding through education, the Universityand other top schools in the nation are planning toeducate engineers and agricultural scientists inthe hope of reconstructing Liberia after a decadeof civil war.

“This initiative is going to be a model forAmerican and African relations in higher education,’’said University President Richard L. McCormick in aUniversity press release. “It’s the kind of deep inter-national connection that we cherish at Rutgers.”

The Excellence in Higher Education for LiberianDevelopment project, a five-year program funded byan $18.5 million grant from the U.S. Agency forInternational Development, aims to reconstruct uni-

versities and infrastructure throughout Liberia withthe help of American institutions.

The University will accept $4 million of the grant,according to the release, which will go toward send-ing 45 faculty and staff members to teach and workat the University of Liberia in Monrovia in the maincapital and at Cuttington College, located in the ruralsection of Liberia.

Other universities include North Carolina StateUniversity and the University of Michigan, accordingto the release.

Liberian civil wars caused both the nation’sschools and universities to close. The University ofLiberia and Cuttington College both lost faculty

members and left the institutions with few instruc-tors with bachelor’s degrees.

Liberian faculty and staff will have the opportuni-ty to come to the University for graduate degreesbefore returning to Liberia, according to the release.

Despite the focus on agriculture and engineering,other disciplines and administrative offices will beimplicated including the humanities, library sciencesand student affairs, said Emmet Dennis, president ofthe University of Liberia and a former dean of aUniversity College, in the release.

“What makes it so deep and varied and rich is thatit stretches across all departments,” McCormicksaid in the release.

U. TO EDUCATE ENGINEERS, SCIENTISTS TO RECONSTRUCT LIBERIA

“I was here the first day, andnow two weeks later there aremore identified goals and betterorganization,” he said.

“Occupy Wall Street” partic-ipants hope to convene inZuccotti Park near Wall Streetbusinesses for months, saidClark, a School of Arts andSciences senior.

“It shows that people hereare in it for the long haul andhere to disrupt Wall Street,”she said. “A protest is just aone day thing and then busi-ness goes back to normal.”

The movement aims to takeaway corporate and governmen-tal influence, Cordeiro said.

“One main idea is to push forcampaign finance reform,” hesaid. “We don’t want voices tobe drowned out because some-one else has more money.”

Clark said she agrees withthe aims of the movement andthinks other people deser vethe money used to bailout WallStreet corporations.

“We’re protesting corporategreed. Wall Street got an $800billion bailout, and no one is

Another arrest was made atWednesday’s protest, whenabout 40 protestors blockedthe intersection of EastonAvenue and Albany Street dur-ing rush hour, Miller said.

Andre Showell, a Nor thBrunswick resident involved inthe protest, was arrested forpunching an EMS worker onhis way to work at Rober t Wood JohnsonUniversity Hospital in the facewith a water bot-tle, he said.

The 47-year-oldworker asked theprotestors tomove out of theway since theyblocked his routeand he suffered alaceration to hisface.

Showell wasarrested andcharged witha g g r a v a t e dassault, failure to disperse andtrying to incite a riot based onhis actions toward the EMSworker, Miller said.

At the first march onSaturday, Sept. 24, policearrested another man when acrowd of about 130 protestorsblocked the intersection ofEaston Avenue and AlbanyStreet for the first time, he said.

A local New Jersey Transit busservicing stops in MiddlesexCounty was held up because of theprotestors. When the 61-year-olddriver asked the crowd to move,Michael White, a 50-year-old fromNew Brunswick punched thePerth Amboy resident in the face,Miller said.

He also said White spat atpolice of ficers during his arrestfor aggravated assault andrefused to be fingerprinted.

The protests, which areheld almost daily againstalleged instances of police bru-

tality in New Brunswick, followthe shooting that led toDeloatch’s death.

Deloatch was shot in analtercation with of ficers in analley after running from police,Middlesex County ProsecutorBruce Kaplan said.

The Middlesex CountyMedical Examiner’s Of ficefound Deloatch was shot in the side with a single bulletthat pierced his aor ta, Kaplan said.

Investigators are lookinginto whether Deloatch pos-sessed a weapon he used onthe of ficers during the inci-dent. Among the 38 items col-

lected andmarked as evi-dence are theof ficer’s gunused in theshooting and asingle recov-ered bullet, hesaid. Outsidelabs are analyz-ing the items.

“Until theseresults arereceived andreviewed by the

Middlesex CountyProsecutor’s Office, the inves-tigation cannot be completed,”Kaplan said.

Investigators also inter-viewed 37 people who providedinformation about the shoot-ing, including police of ficers,emergency technicians calledon the scene and civilians, he said.

Protestors will star t theirsecond full week of marchingtoday at 4 p.m. at the intersec-tion of Throop Avenue andHandy Street.

Students walking past campus centers todaymight see or hear “For the kids,” when RutgersUniversity Dance Marathon members kick offregistration for their event next semester.

To promote “FTK Day,” Dance Marathonrepresentatives will be stationed at everycampus student center from 9 to 11 a.m. toanswer questions and sign up dancers,according to the Facebook event page. Alimited supply of coffee and doughnuts willbe provided.

Students who sign up today will pay a reg-istration fee of $25, which is 25 percent lessthan the usual fall fee.

The registration fee is $35 during thefall semester and $45 during the spring

semester, said Julia Crimi, director ofVolunteer Management for DanceMarathon. The fee is used to cover theexpense of items like meals, T-shirts anddancer care packages.

Dance Marathon is an annual charityevent that raises money for children with can-cer and blood disorders. As New Jersey’slargest student-run philanthropic event,Dance Marathon culminates with a weekendmarathon in which participants must staystanding for 32-hours.

This year’s Dance Marathon is scheduledto take place March 31 to April 1, 2012.

doing anything to help theother 99 percent,” she said.

The movement began onSept. 17, according to the orga-nization’s website occupywall-street.org, and Cordeiro said atleast 45 University studentshave attended “Occupy WallStreet” protests since.

Matthew D’Elia, a School ofArts and Sciences senior, wasalso at the protest and said themovement took hold becausepeople are unsatisfied.

“Right now the elites areshutting people [out] with lesspower,” he said. “People arehere to speak out, people needto feel empowered.”

The disparate economic gapbetween the wealthy and themiddle class motivates many ofthe movement’s par ticipants,Cordeiro said.

“There is a large dividebetween the rich and the poor,the stratification that existsnow has not been seen sincethe Great Depression,” he said.

While some criticize“Occupy Wall Street” protest-ers for using products andservices of Wall Street corpora-tions, Cordeiro said he doesnot see it as hypocritical.

“I don’t think there is neces-sarily an inconsistency. There is asystem that people live in,” he

said. “We should focus on onething at a time, and the first [thing] we [to] need focus onis to take money out of politics.”

He said there are not justyoung people involved in theprotests.

“The movement does havemore younger people, but it isstill a diverse group of people,”he said. “But I don’t think weshould judge people on howthey look.”

Cordeiro, who does notagree with all of the protestors’behaviors, believes the move-ment is worthwhile.

“I don’t agree with every-thing, I don’t agree with all thetactics. [But] people here aretrying to do something reallypositive,” he said.

The protest also included fivemembers of the Central JerseyCoalition Against Endless War, saidcoalition member Tina Weishaus.

Weishaus, a 60-year-oldHighland Park resident, was gladpeople staged “Occupy Wall Street.”

“We’re thrilled, we’ve beenwaiting for the young to becomeactive,” she said.

Cordeiro said he was not repre-senting RUSA or the University in any way at the protests.

“I am only here in the capac-ity of a concerned Rutgers stu-dent,” he said.

Residents run to promotebreast cancer awareness

BY ANDREW EKLUNDCONTRIBUTING WRITER

Despite less-than-idealweather conditions, more than1,000 women across NewJersey participated in the “5KWalk 4 Life Breast CancerAwareness Race & Walk” onSaturday in honor of breastcancer awareness in theAfrican-American community.

Through the event, SistersNetwork of Central New Jersey (SNCNJ), a local chap-ter of the National African-American Breast CancerSur vivorship Organization,aimed to educate mainlyAfrican-American women onhow to treat breast cancer.

“The incidents for African-American women are the low-est, but the fatality rate is thehighest. We want women to get their mammogramsbecause we know early detec-tion works,” said LareathaPayne, vice pres-ident of SNCNJ.

D o r o t h yReed, SNCNJpresident, saidA f r i c a n -A m e r i c a nwomen need tobe more awareabout what to doand where to goif they are diag-nosed withbreast cancer.

“Ever y county in NewJersey of fers free mammo-grams, so we direct [African-American women] to those freeser vices, but most womendon’t even know that,” Reedsaid. “So that’s where raisingawareness becomes key.”

Par ticipants registeredSaturday at 8:45 a.m., but therun of ficially began later in themorning, with trophies award-ed to par ticipants who per-formed well in various cate-gories, including first-placemale and female 5K winner andindividuals who raised themost money.

Other activities took placethroughout the day, from blood screenings to live entertainment.

“We have a mobile healthbus, which provides bloodscreenings, an education tent[and] a sur vivor’s tent,” Payne said. “[We also have]another tent with food, dif fer-

ent vendors and we have a live band.”

Lisa Godfrey and JaniceGilmore Henr y, who bothser ved as co-chairs of theevent, chose FranklinTownship High School as thevenue and began planningdetails in early August.

“This is the second year theevent has taken place at the high school and it will certainly be taking place herenext year,” Gilmore Henr ysaid. “Our strategy was to splitthis into pieces and then put itback together like a puzzle.”

With the profit raised, Reedsaid her organization plans tosupport a breast cancer assis-tance program, which of fersemergency medical services towomen with advanced stagesof breast cancer.

Some ser vices of feredinclude food card programs,transporting uninsured womento chemotherapy and directing

them toward freem a m m o g r a mser vices, shesaid.

Reed, who is abreast cancersurvivor, openedthe chapteralongside anoth-er survivor withpermission fromthe NationalA f r i c a n -

American Breast CancerSurvivorship Organization.

“We started the central N.J.chapter and began reachingout to church groups in thearea. [That’s how] we startedbuilding our memberships,”she said.

Gilmore Henr y said theevent was a huge successbecause of the volunteers whohelped.

“We had the Girl Scouts andBoy Scouts involved, and somany other great members ofour community,” she said.

The chapter plans to dealmore with breast cancer aware-ness and hopes to keep womenwith medical conditions safeand informed, Payne said.

“Some of our goals are to get involved with research. It’s a ver y invasive type of cancer, so wewant to help out in as manyways as we can,” she said. “Wewant to be that beacon of lightin the community.”

The Gateway Transit Village, located on Somerset Street, is expected to be completed by next fall.The building, which stands over New Brunswick, will house 14 residential units on every floor.

Gateway interior nears completionBY GLEN GABRIEL

STAFF WRITER

As construction continues onthe Gateway Transit Village, proj-ect managers are watching theinner layout of the structurecome to life.

The New BrunswickDevelopment Corporation(DEVCO) manages the Gatewaybuilding on Somerset Street,which consists of 190 units total,said Jean Holtz, DEVCO vicepresident. DEVCO officials willopen a sales office within thebuilding to manage the building’sinitial affairs.

Organizers considered conven-ience a top priority when sculptingthe building’s interior design, espe-cially when deciding where toplace the residential units and thebookstore in proximity to nearbyrestaurants, Holtz said.

Most floors of the buildingconsist of 14 living units, nineof which are two-bedroom liv-ing spaces and five of whichare one-bedroom living spaces.The two-bedroom condomini-ums are also equipped with twofull bathrooms.

Rooms in each unit will be equipped with the latesthousehold technology, saidDEVCO DevelopmentAssociate Robin Iantosca.

“We’ve given the rooms aclean look with stainless steelappliances and granite counter-tops,” Iantosca said. “Our goalwas to leave a blank palate for thecondo owners. We want people tobe able to add their own flare towhere they’re going to live.”

P-Tech heating and air condi-tioning units will regulate each ofthe rooms, and condo owners willhave the ability to cool and heatrooms, Iantosca said.

Workers installed an escalatorto the basement of the Gatewaybuilding, which will house theUniversity bookstore that is set toopen in the fall of 2012. An eleva-tor also leads customers to thethird floor, which includes a glassreading area that overlooksCollege Avenue.

“On a clear day you can seethe outline of New York City. Theviews from this building arebreathtaking, there’s no otherword to describe it,” she said.

The side of the bookstore willinclude a 700-space parkinggarage for customers using theGateway facilities.

“I’m happy there’s going to bea parking deck to go with thebookstore, that was always thebiggest problem with where itcurrently is, no parking,” saidThomas Leahy, a School of Artsand Sciences senior.

There will be a taxi stand withinthe building, as well as a path lead-ing onto the train platform thatruns parallel with the structure.

A lobby will also be availablefor those living in the building —a bay of three elevators willaccompany two separate eleva-tors on the business space levels.

While a few residents voicedtheir disapproval of the GatewayTransit Village and its size,Holtz said, on behalf of DEVCO,the building’s grandeur is actual-ly a positive.

“Anyway you cut it, this is animpressive building,” Holtz said.“Its large scale allows it to notonly house dozens of individuals,but to also serve as office spacefor several businesses.”

Levels three through sevenwill serve as office space toUniversity and outside business-es alike. The New BrunswickParking Authority and UniversityPress will each occupy a floor,Iantosca said.

Condos in the building will beoffered at “workforce” prices,which will be lower than marketvalue to accommodate the peopleof New Brunswick, Holtz said.

“Our job here at DEVCO is tomake sure there’s a place foreveryone that works and lives inNew Brunswick, regardless ofincome,” she said.

The N.J. deer population dramatically decreasedover the past two months because of an epidemicaffecting six counties throughout New Jersey, includ-ing one case reported in New Brunswick.

The illness, Epizootic Hemorrhagic Disease(EHD), is spread by tiny bugs called midges, anddoes not affect humans — rather it targets deer,authorities said in an nj.com article.

Infected deer exhibit symptoms such as drooling,foaming at the mouth, a blue tongue, disorientationand internal hemorrhaging that cause the deer tobleed from the eyes and lips. The deer die within fiveto 10 days of infection.

The disease is fairly common but is rarely aswidespread or extreme as it is now, said Al Ivany, abiologist for the state Fish and Wildlife division inthe article.

The last worst case of EHD was in 2007, when thedisease struck 10 counties.

“It’s not something that we can do somethingfor,” Ivany said in the article. “It just needs to runits course.”

Reports of EHD surfaced around six countiesincluding Morris, Union and northern Somersetcounties and Mercer, Hunterdon and southernSomerset counties.

Afghanistan presses Pakistan to stop TalibanTHE ASSOCIATED PRESS

KABUL, Afghanistan — TheAfghan government urgedneighboring Pakistan onSunday to take concrete stepsto help end the Taliban insur-gency and use its influence tobring the militants to directpeace talks.

The appeal follows accusa-tions that Pakistan, through itshistorical ties with some of themilitant groups, has played anactive role in suppor tingattacks across the border onU.S. and Afghan targets — acharge it denies.

The allegations against thecountry and the calls for its helpreveal a central quandary in try-ing to end the decade of fightingthat began with the U.S. invasionafter the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks:Pakistan, even if it has ties togroups behind the insurgency,would be of central importancein any effort to bring about anegotiated peace.

Afghan leaders, however,are growing impatient.

“Afghanistan has invested agreat amount of goodwill andpolitical capital to create anatmosphere of trust and confi-dence and to try to improve rela-tions with Pakistan over the pastthree years,” Foreign Ministry

spokesman Janan Mosazai toldreporters in Kabul.

“Unfortunately, we have notbeen witness to the type of con-crete progress that we wereexpecting — that was promisedto us by our brothers and sis-ters in Pakistan,” he said.

In particular, Afghanistanwants its neighbor’s help in the“facilitation of direct negotia-tions with the Taliban leadershipand with any other insurgentleaders who are prepared to jointhe Afghan national reconcilia-tion process,” Mosazai said.

Pakistan’s northwest tribalregion serves as a haven forinsurgents fighting Afghan andU.S. forces across the border aswell as the Pakistani government.Pakistan has ties with some of themilitant groups dating back to thewar in the 1980s against theSoviets in Afghanistan.

Afghan and U.S. of ficials,long frustrated at Pakistan’sfailure to wage an all-out battleagainst militants on its soil,have recently accusedIslamabad of suppor tingattacks across the border,including an hours-long assaulton the U.S. Embassy lastmonth in Kabul.

Reflecting the deepening frus-tration, Afghan President HamidKarzai said over the weekend

that he was giving up on tryingto talk to the Taliban directly andthat the key to ending the war ismediation by Pakistan.

At the same time, Karzai hassuspended a series of meetingsbetween Afghanistan, Pakistanand the United States because ofthe fallout over accusations thatPakistan is playing a double

game. The Afghan governmentsaid it had evidence that Pakistanplayed a role in the Sept. 20assassination of former AfghanPresident Burhanuddin Rabbani.

Karzai’s of fice said a specialcommission investigatingRabbani’s death had concludedthe attack was planned inQuetta, the Pakistani citywhere key Taliban leaders arebased. The delegation also saidthe primar y assailant was aPakistani citizen.

Interior Minister BismullahKhan Mohammadi said Saturdayin an Afghan parliamentary ses-sion that Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence agencywas involved in the killing.

Pakistan denied the allegationthe allegation Sunday, calling it“baseless” and “irresponsible.” Itsaid the evidence given to Pakistanconsisted of the confession of anAfghan national, HamidullahAkundzadeh, accused of master-minding Rabbani’s assassination.

“Instead of making such irre-sponsible statements, those inpositions of authority in Kabul,should seriously deliberate asto why all those Afghans whoare favorably disposed towardpeace and toward Pakistan aresystematically being removedfrom the scene and killed,” saidPakistan’s Foreign Ministry in awritten statement.

Meanwhile, the members ofthe High Peace Council thatRabbani had headed met withKarzai and asked for a full reviewof the process. They said they donot want to waste time trying toreconcile with insurgents on thePakistani side of the border whohave not renounced violence,according to a presidential state-ment and members of the council.

That would be a major shiftfor the council, which was

formed to try to find a way toget the Taliban leadership tothe negotiating table.

“Those groups that are hid-ing in Pakistan, they are send-ing terrorists at us. So how canwe have peace with those peo-ple?” said Ismail Qasemyar,one of the members who metwith Karzai.

There is debate over howmuch influence Pakistan actu-ally has with the Taliban, butmost analysts believe that thecountry is vital to the successof any peace talks.

“My own sense is thatPakistani influence and connec-tions and its clout is largelyexaggerated,” said Rif fatHussain, a professor of defensestudies at Quaid-e-AzamUniversity in Islamabad. “But ifthere is any player who can actas a bridge to bring these guyson board, it has to be Pakistan.”Specifically, he said, the power-ful Pakistani intelligence serv-ice must be involved.

Pakistani President Asif AliZardari responded to the grow-ing criticism in a weekend edi-torial in the Washington Post inwhich he said the United Stateswas spending too much timedictating to Pakistan ratherthan treating its government asa partner.

MANILA, Philippines — Rescuers scrambled Sundayto deliver food and water to hundreds of villagers stuck onrooftops for days because of flooding in the northernPhilippines, where back-to-back typhoons left at least 59people dead.

Typhoon Nalgae slammed ashore in northeasternIsabela province Saturday, then barreled across the mainisland of Luzon’s mountainous north and agriculturalplains, which were still sodden from fierce rain and windsunleashed by a howler just days earlier. Nalgae left at leastthree people dead Saturday. Typhoon Nesat killed 56 oth-ers and left 28 missing in the same region before blowingout Friday.

Nalgae was whirling over the South China Sea andheading toward southern China late Sunday afternoon,230 miles (370 kilometers) from the Philippines’ northeastcoast, with sustained winds of 75 miles (120 kilometers)per hour and gusts of 93 mph (150 kph), according to thePhilippine government weather agency.

China’s National Meteorological Center urged peo-ple in areas expected to be lashed by rainstorms in thenext three days, including on southernmost Hainanisland and in eastern Taiwan, to stay indoors and cancellarge assemblies, China’s official Xinhua News Agencyreported Sunday.

Nalgae’s ferocious winds set off a rockslide in thenorthern mountain province of Bontoc in the Philippineson Saturday, causing boulders to roll down a mountainsideand smash a passing van, where a passenger was pinnedto death and another was injured, police said.

In northern Tarlac province’s Camiling town, a mansought safety with his two young nephews as floodingrose in their village Saturday. But one of the children wasswept away by rampaging waters and drowned, while hisuncle and his brother remained missing. A drunken mandrowned in flooding in a nearby village, provincial disasterofficer Marvin Guiang said.

Nalgae roared through parts of Luzon that had beensaturated by Typhoon Nesat, which trapped thousands onrooftops and sent huge waves that breached a seawall inManila Bay. Nesat then pummeled southern China andwas downgraded to a tropical storm just before churninginto northern Vietnam on Friday, where 20,000 peoplewere evacuated.

far-fetched, yet it clearlydescribes the rights that wehave by virtue of self-defense. I admit laws aren’talways well written regard-ing self-defense, but anynon-pacifist should have noqualms with engaging in theaction I described above.

Torturing a top-level ter-rorist for information is the same thing as putting theincapacitated serial killer in the trajectory of the har-poon. The only difference is that the former situation ismore abstract. A top-level terrorist like Mohammedmasterminded various terrorist attacks aimed at harm-ing the innocent and then directed his underlings toexecute those attacks. When he was imprisoned andno longer an immediate threat to plan or execute newattacks, he still withheld information that would foilpossible attacks he had set in motion. Therefore, it wasperfectly acceptable to cause him pain, suffering oreven permanent damage in order to glean that infor-mation that would foil those possible attacks.

The Bush administration claimed that the water-boarding of Mohammed was suc-cessful. Former President GeorgeW. Bush in particular said if he hadto relive the events, he would havethe man waterboarded againbecause doing so saved lives. Theefficacy of torture is a separate issuefrom the ethics of torture, though.Even if torture only worked 1 per-cent of the time, it would still be

appropriate in some situations. Even if the harmfulprocess you were trying to stop had a 99 percentchance of stopping on its own, torturing someonemay still be the ethical thing to do if the 1 percentoutcome were unacceptable.

All this being said, I completely understand whyAmericans would be uncomfortable with govern-mental willingness to use torture. Sure, the situa-tion with Khalid Sheikh Mohammed was an accept-able circumstance, but if you set the precedent,where can it go from there? Could torture be over-used or abused? What if someone wrongly accusedis tortured? Those are reasonable questions. Eventhough I support the use of torture in certain cir-cumstances, I don’t think it should be legally sanc-tioned by the United States. The Obama adminis-tration did the right thing by disallowing water-boarding. That being said, if many American livesare ever truly at stake, I expect the CIA to get theinformation it needs, by hook or by crook.

“Wall Street got an $800 billion bailout, and no one is doing anything to help the other 99 percent.”

RUSA representative to the University’s Board of Governors Kristen Clark, on the “Occupy Wall Street” protests

STORY ON FRONT

QUOTE OF THE DAY

T he University has a reputation as being a big school, whichmakes sense given its status as a public university. After all, pub-lic schools always attract larger student bodies than their pri-

vate counterparts. For the past few years, however, the University’s pop-ulation has been growing even larger and causing some problems —overcrowded buses, dishearteningly large lecture sections and a short-age of housing, to name just a few. In order to deal with this, the admin-istration decided to become more selective with the admissions process.While the current acceptance rate is 58 percent, the administrationwants to slash that by 4 percent. In the words of Courtney McAnuff, vicepresident of Enrollment Management, “[W]e’re at capacity with trans-portation, in classrooms and financial-aid wise. We need to slow growth.”

The decision to limit the incoming classes may not be well received byprospective students, and understandably so. The last thing they want tohear is that it will be harder for them to get into a state school like theUniversity. Despite these contestations, the administration has absolutelymade the right decision to scale back the number of accepted students. Toput it simply: We’re running out of facilities and services. Our faculty and staffcan only handle so many students before the quality of a University educa-tion starts to slip. Sure, a higher acceptance rate means more tuition dollars,but keep in mind that those tuition dollars go right back to providing for thestudents. If there are too many of them, no amount of tuition money will beable to keep up with the increased demands on University resources.

As the New Brunswick campus tightens the admissions process,prospective students can and should look to the lesser-utilized Newarkand Camden campuses. These campuses are often passed over byapplicants, but they do have similar educational resources as the NewBrunswick campus, with the added benefit that these resources arenowhere near as strained under the weight of such demand.

A more selective admissions process is better for everyone. It will pre-vent the University from stretching itself too thin, thereby retaining theintegrity of its educational abilities. It will also enable University services,such as transportation and dining, to more effectively serve the studentbody. Even prospective students who may bemoan the change should rec-ognize the value of it — if they are accepted, they will be going a schoolthat is capable of providing the college experience they deserve.

W hether torture isa worthwhile toolfor the U.S. gov-

ernment is very differentfrom the question of whethertorture is in and of itselfwrong. I remember the con-troversy a few years ago inwhich many objected the factthat the CIA essentially tor-tured a few captured high-level terrorists. In particu-lar, the terrorists were subjected to waterboarding, aform of simulated drowning. Many of the objectionsto this practice were reasonable and pragmatic. Forexample, the U.S. government certainly did hurt itsimage abroad by engaging in torture, giving a propa-ganda field day both to our enemies and “allies.”Some of these objections were flat-out foolish,though, and represented emotional rather thanrational thinking. I am specifically referring to claimsthat torture is somehow inherently unethical andthus should never be employed. Sure, it is wrong inmost circumstances, but so is killing. We may ethi-cally kill people in self-defense, and we may likewiseethically torture people in self-defense. The waterboarding of menlike Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, ahigh-level terrorist, was self-defense.

If you are iffy about torture’soccasional acceptability, the bestway to understand how torture cansometimes be the right thing to dois by looking at a violent scenarioanalogous to torture — a scenariowhere the right and wrong decisions are clear. Byboiling down the concept of torture to its key com-ponents, we see where black-and-white principles ofself-defense can come into play.

Imagine that you and a friend have been kid-napped by a serial killer and taken to his lair. Thekiller has tied you both up to the wall. He also has amachine hooked up to a timer that fires a harpoonforward after a set time. He puts the machine infront of your friend and takes a recreational drug sothat it is clear he will be completely incapacitated forthe foreseeable future. You suddenly undo the ropestying you to the wall and see a way to escape. Youalso realize you do not have enough time to undoyour friend’s ropes or move the machine before itshoots the harpoon at him. Assuming that the serialkiller himself is the only object in the room able toblock the harpoon, what do you do? Put him front ofthe harpoon, of course. Even though the killer is notan immediate threat, it is still correct to harm himbecause that is the only way to foil a process heintentionally initiated to harm the innocent. So longas he is letting the harmful process continue, even ifhe is otherwise non-threatening, he can still bemorally subjected to violence if this violence willstop the process. The above example is relatively

U. makes right choicein limiting admissions

I n a drone attack in Yemen this past Friday, U.S. forces succeeded inkilling al-Qaeda cleric Anwar al-Awlaki. Unlike the death of Osamabin Laden, which evoked nearly universal celebration, al-Awlaki’s

death sparked a bit of controversy. That’s because there’s a major differ-ence between al-Awlaki and bin Laden, in that the former was a U.S. citi-zen. As such, it is thought this is the first time in history when a U.S. cit-izen was killed because of intelligence collected on him and the presi-dent’s command to do so. This situation raises an incredibly salient ques-tion, one that we must all consider carefully: Did al-Awlaki’s position as aterrorist outweigh his rights as a U.S. citizen? In other words, was it okayin this situation to forego the established legal channels, including a trial,which al-Awlaki is entitled to as a U.S. citizen? After some careful consid-eration of our own, we at The Daily Targum assert that, yes, in this spe-cific instance, it was absolutely okay to kill al-Awlaki without a trial.

Al-Awlaki may have been a U.S. citizen, but his involvement with theinsidious terror cell al-Qaeda is nothing more than treason. As al-Qaeda’sleader of external operations, according to President Barack Obama, al-Awlaki was responsible for the mobilization of many threats to the peopleof the United States. The killing was by no means reactionary. The CIAplaced al-Awlaki on their “kill or capture” list because of the overwhelm-ing evidence it had to prove his licit and dangerous actions. This includesthe calls to jihad he posted on the Internet, an airplane bombing plot heformulated in Christmas of 2009 and his efforts to send explosivesthrough the mail to the United States in 2010. In short, his conduct wasunforgivable. Not only did al-Awlaki effectively forfeit all of his rights asa U.S. citizen, but the United States was able to obtain more than enoughincontestable evidence to convict him of his crimes if he were put on trial.

To be certain, this is indeed tricky political ground to maneuver.The U.S. government must be careful to not let this set a precedent.The only reason it was okay to ignore the trial process for al-Awlaki isbecause of how extreme the man’s actions were. He was an immediatethreat to the entire United States, not your average criminal. TheUnited States should always try to uphold the integrity of its legal sys-tem, but such a situation as this is an example of the very rareinstances wherein the established legal channels must be abandonedfor the greater good of the country. After all, the people making thesedecisions to suspend the legal system are the experts. We have everyreason to trust their judgment in this scenario.

those things into account hasthere ever been any point in his-tor y exactly like 2011? Theanswer to that is, of course, no.We can at least still look at sim-ilar conditions, right?

To the original question,there are many that would firstlike to compare our currenttime to the Great Depression,in terms of the economy. Canwe just ignore the iPhone,Google, Netflix, space junk,Viagra and all the other thingsthat weren’t around during theGreat Depression? There arewell-known economists whostudied similar situations towhat we are facing now but theproblem is the word “similar.”On the other hand, that is thebest we have to work with,which still doesn’t mean you’llfind the “right” answer to thegeneral question. Asking gen-eral questions lead to pieces

that provide another person’swork as evidence the opinion insaid piece is correct.

As a graduate student, I getto examine other people’s workmore often than most, in theform of research papers. Thegreat thing about researchpapers is they try to be as spe-

cific as possible. They detail theexact problem they are tryingto solve, their theory, experi-ment setup, results and finallyconclusion. The interestingpart is the actual problem andexperiment setup, not theanswer. What most people don’t

understand about researchpapers is that a proposed solu-tion can fail 99.99 percent of thetime in general, but in a veryspecific case it can work betterthan other solutions. This ingeneral is seen as a good paperand good research.

So what does this say whenyou use another person’s workas evidence? Well, you are usingthem out of context or the per-son’s work you are using won’thave a big impact factor in thefield. As an experiment, I askthe readers to ask their profes-sors questions about theirresearch. Pay attention to howthey answer. They will alwaysbegin by explaining the problemand what condition they are tak-ing into account in theirresearch and why. They do thisbecause you cannot possiblytake every condition intoaccount. Next they will begin to

explain what they see as thesmaller problems. They willexplain to you piece-by-piecewhat their solution is and why.That is because they areexperts, and they became soafter many years of looking atparticular problems and theirsub-problems.

I hope the question, “Shouldthe government be focusing oncreating jobs?” served to showthat, sometimes, trying to look atthe big picture of something ispointless. Not because the ques-tion is pointless, but because theknowledge to answer such a gen-eral question isn’t there. I person-ally think we would have to waitabout 30 years before we can findthe solutions to a lot of specificquestions and then make a con-sensus on the general question.

though, this was superb feat byJindal — he gave himself ageneric American name andemphasized his Wonder Breadchildhood to make himselfmore palatable to conservativevoters. Jindal also had the fore-sight to convert to Catholicismin high school.

Jindal’s decisions to changehis faith and his name may not beintrinsically opportunistic. Manynice people, besides politiciansand criminals, change their iden-tities to what they feel is moregenuine. President BarackObama has disappointed me insome ways, but I will always holdhis deep regard for his Kenyanroots in the highest esteem.

A “60 Minutes” interview in2009 with Jindal and his wifeSupriya showed how far Jindalwas willing to go to suppress hisbackground. When asked by “60Minutes” host Morley Safer ifthey continued any Indian tradi-tions with their family, the cou-ple rushed to say no, becausethey had adapted and had been“raised as Americans.” TheJindals define assimilation to be

the abandonment of their par-ents’ culture, which doesn’t lineup with the American virtue ofdiversity. To be raised as anAmerican doesn’t mean youonly have “The Brady Bunch”marathons. I find it hard tobelieve that Jindal’s parents,who grew up in India, wouldsuddenly stop cooking Indian

food and celebrating Hindu holi-days the moment they reachedthe United States. My parentslived in Queens for a decadebefore they had me, and some-how they retained their her-itage. As a child, I played in mydistrict’s soccer league, cele-brated Halloween andChristmas and read Judy Blumebooks. At the same time, I read

about Hindu mythology,admired Satyajit Ray movies anddressed up in sparkly Indianclothes for special occasions. Inever once thought I was beingraised to be anything less thanan American.

Gov. Nikki Haley, R-S.C.,converted to Christianity whenshe married Michael Haley,and unlike Jindal, still attendsSikh services for her parents.Presenting a story of a minori-ty who succeeded due toAmerica’s gifts, Haley seemedlike a proud Indian-American.Unfortunately, she only playsthe minority card when it is toher advantage. The AssociatedPress repor ted in July 2011that Haley denoted her race as“white” on a 2001 voter regis-tration form.

American politics seem to bedevolving. Right extremiststreat knowledge as superfluous,and the Republican candidatesbehave as though white blue-collar towns are Americanhavens. The hyperbolic agricul-tural and folksy backdrops tocampaigns evoke an America

that is not representative of themajority. Jindal and Haley offeran assimilation model that isdetrimental to minorities, forthe political establishment willcome to expect first-generationAmericans to exchange theirrich past and upbringing forplatitudes that of fer no realmeaning about the complicatedand layered United States. Ablandly homogenous body ofpolitical opinions will stagnateour progress, superpower sta-tus and capability to empathizewith other nations. Americanchildren should not feel uncom-fortable if they don’t happen toworship Jesus Christ or lovefootball, and they should havethe confidence to say so if theyrun for political office. BecauseJindal and Haley timidly toe theRepublican line on every issueand lack the audacity to be inno-vative or complex citizens, theyare not American role models.

Politicians should embrace their ethnic backgrounds

M y parents emigratedfrom India to NewYork for their higher

education, and if you had toldthem then that two people ofIndian descent would be thegovernors of two states in theBible Belt, they would think youwere joking.

If you had told my parentsin the ’80s that those twoIndian-Americans would try tohide their ethnicity, theywould be shocked. How is thateven possible?

Gov. Bobby Jindal, R-La.,has managed to just do that.Born Piyush Jindal, he goes bythe nickname “Bobby” becausehe felt great kinship with theTV character Bobby Bradybecause he was the same ageas Bobby Brady when hewatched “The Brady Bunch.”By this logic, I should havealtered my name to D.W.because I was her age when Iwatched “Arthur.” Really,

122 yards and the game-tyingtouchdown pass to junior widereceiver Mohamed Sanu. In hissecond appearance againstSyracuse (3-2, 0-1), Dodd man-aged a 14-for-34 passing clip for166 yards and an interception.

Dodd and former star terTom Savage split time last sea-son against Syracuse, althoughDodd eventually seized the job permanently.

Savage became the Knights’starting quarterback two years agoas a freshman after fifth-year seniorDom Natale suffered a miserablefirst half in Rutgers’ season opener.

“You won’t know if you han-dled it correctly in this life-time,” Schiano said of the moveto bench Savage in favor ofDodd last season. “I do what Ithink is right after listening toall opinions of people on mystaf f who I value.”

Schiano said it was too earlyto name either Dodd or Novathe team’s star ter Saturdayagainst Pittsburgh until he metwith of fensive coordinatorFrank Cignetti and his staf f.

“This isn’t going to be aknee-jerk reaction,” Schianosaid. “We’ll talk it through andthen do what we think is best.”

Nova appeared in two gamesprior to Syracuse, but never sawextensive action. And he neversaw as dangerous a defense.

The Orange sacked Novafour times, but the freshmanrebounded, finding sophomorewideout Quron Pratt to converta crucial fourth-and-9 play. Heconnected with Sanu five playslater to even the matchup at 13,eventually leading to the Knights’ double-overtime victory.

“Of course I always want toplay better,” Nova said. “I’m the

biggest critic of myself. I justfeel I could have played better,but we got the win and that’s allthat matters. I’m just reallyhappy for the team.”

SCHIANO SHUTTLED OUT10 defensive linemen at theCarrier Dome, including fresh-men Dar yl Stephenson andMyles Jackson.

Jackson made his first careerappearance against the Orange.

“It means a lot for the coachesto have enough confidence in meto put me in such a pressuregame,” Jackson said. “We’redown. We’re up. It just shows theprogress I’ve made to prepare,watch film, study.”

Along with the two rookies,the unit featured two former line-backers, a former fullback and anoticeable lack of experience.

Junior Scott Vallone startedas a redshir t freshman, andsenior Justin Francis led theKnights’ defensive line ingames played heading into thebeginning of the season.

“I think our secret up front isgoing to be playing a lot of peo-ple,” Schiano said. “We don’thave a lot of experienced guys.I think we’re going to roll freshguys all year, and hopefullythey all continue to get better.”

SOPHOMORE ANTWANLowery replaced redshirt fresh-man Betim Bujari at right guardSaturday, playing the finaldrives of the fourth quarter andeach overtime possession.

Bujari started against Ohioin Week 3, while Lower yearned the nod in Rutgers’ firsttwo games of the season.

“I tell [of fensive line coachKyle Flood], ‘You’re watchingthose guys a lot better than Iam. You need to make the per-sonnel moves you feel are nec-essary,’” Schiano said. “I fol-lowed his suggestion on thatone. He felt like at that pointAntwan was better suited forthe situation.”

Junior cornerback Marcus Cooper scooped and returned Jamal Merrell’s blocked field goal in the fourth quarter, but a Steve Beauharnais penalty brought the ball backto Syracuse’s 46-yard line. Cooper’s touchdown would have tied the score, but the offense did the job instead, and Mohamed Sanu caught his fifth touchdown of the year.

before a Beauharnais penaltybrought it back.

Of ficials whistledBeauharnais for an unneces-sary roughness penalty milesaway from Cooper and thebrigade of blockers that escort-ed him to the end zone.

“As I put my hands up to cele-brate with my team, the collisionhappened,” said Beauharnais,who had two sacks at middle line-backer. “I even offered to helphim up.”

It brought Rutgers back toSyracuse’s 46-yard-line, but theoffense finally capitalized.

Freshman quarterback GaryNova was already taking snapsin place of a healthy, “out-of-sync” Dodd. He connected with

sophomore wideout QuronPratt on a four th-and-9 andfound Mohamed Sanu for thejunior’s fifth touchdown of the year.

“And you know what’scrazy? They didn’t even coverhim on that play,” Nova said ofSanu, who ranks second in thenation with 43 receptions androutinely faced double-teamsthroughout his seven-catch per-formance in Syracuse.

It capped the closest thingRutgers had to a drive all day,when it ran 95 of fensive plays and gained only 302 yards.

“It wasn’t a ver y prettygame, but the one thing we didis we fought,” Schiano said.“Sometimes in life, you justfight. You don’t worry, don’tjudge, you just keep fightingand sometimes it gives you a chance. That’s what happened.”

WORD ON THE STREET

BY JOSH BAKANCORRESPONDENT

The plan for the Rutgers fieldhockey team last weekend was tonot look like the team it was dur-

ing itss e v e n -g a m el o s i n gstreak.

F o rthe most part this weekend, theScarlet Knights were successful.

Then Rutgers (3-8, 1-2) puttogether a performance that onpaper was reminiscent of otherlosses it endured all year yester-day at Columbia (4-5). The 2-1loss saw them in the usual posi-tion of generating a lot of shotsand penalty corners — 14 and 11,respectively — but only turningthat into one goal.

But unlike the other Knights’losses, they got off quality shotsand were able to put together acomplete game.

“This was probably the mostcomplete game we’ve played all sea-

son,” said head coach Liz Tchou.“Our outlets were really sharp andwe’re getting quality shots.”

The Knights made a similareffort for most of the 3-2 win againstGeorgetown on Friday at the BauerTrack and Field Complex.

Rutgers took the decisive leadon a Nicole Gentile goal with 52seconds remaining in the game.

The senior forward chipped anoff-angle shot into the far side ona pass from sophomore midfield-er Lisa Patrone.

“[Our plan was] to get behindtheir defense and put pressure asmuch as we can on their defense,”Gentile said.

The Knights executed thatthroughout the day againstGeorgetown (2-8, 0-2) with a sea-son-high 23 shots. Unlike most ofthe Knights games where theyget more shots off than theiropponent, enough of their shotson Friday made it to the back ofthe net.

But the game started out simi-lar to many Knights losses — anincomplete effort.

The Hoyas scored twicewithin the first 20 minutes totake an early 2-0 lead, prompt-ing Tchou to call a timeout toset the team straight.

“The first 20 minutes, I don’tknow who was playing,” she said.“We were allowing them to beatus to 50-50 balls. I was totallyshocked that our team came outso flat.”

The Knights came out of thetimeout a dif ferent team andtied the score 2-2 heading intohalftime with a pair of goalsfrom sophomore forward GiaNappi and junior for wardChelsea Rota.

“It was really good for us tobe able to come back and scoreand tie the game up at half,”Tchou said. “We had our attacksin the first half, but defensivelythere was a disconnect. The for-wards and [midfielders] werecoming up, but we were slow instepping up.”

The defense also stepped it up,not allowing a Hoyas goal aftertheir early strikes. Sophomore

goalie Sarah Stuby saved a sea-son-high seven shots afterTchou’s timeout.

“After the coach talked to us— she was screaming — but thatgot everyone to focus after thosefirst 20 minutes,” Stuby said.

Stuby became a candidate forBig East Defensive Player of theWeek against Georgetown, butshe may lose out to her opponentin the opposite net.

Hoyas goalie Briana Pereirasaved 16 of the Knights’ shots,making it difficult for Rutgerseven on a 23-shot day. But theGeorgetown win still remindedTchou of her team’s earlier losseswhen they were unable to puttogether a complete game.

“I definitely don’t think it was acomplete game, but the fact thatwe found a way to win againstGeorgetown — because we lost tothem the last two years — I givecredit to our team,” she said.

Since Tchou’s timeout andthrough the remainder of theweekend, the Knights put forth acomplete effort.

Simpkins in double-overtime yes-terday at Yurcak Field, the entireScarlet Knights sideline stoodstaring in disbelief.

The goal gave the Orange a 2-1 victory, the Knights their thirdconsecutive defeat and shiftedhead coach Glenn Crooks’ focusfrom attaining a Big EastChampionship berth to simplyfixing his sputtering team.

“I’m not really focused on BigEast goals, I’m just focused ongetting us better,” Crooks said.“Once again it’s [an] overtimegame, and in all those gameswe’ve had opportunities in regula-tion to finish it off. You could saywe were the better team in thosegames, but it’s the finished prod-uct, it’s the final result.”

As was a common theme inthe Knights prior four contests —a span in which Rutgers lost threeand tied one — scoring opportu-nities came in abundance yester-day at Yurcak Field, especially inthe waning moments of play.

Freshman forward StephanieScholz tallied the Knights’ finalthree shots of regulation — shehad four total — with two ofthem coming in the final fourminutes of the second half. Herfinal two chances occurred onbreakaways that pulledSyracuse goalkeeper BrittanyAnghel out of the net, givingScholz clear seams at goals.

But both shots sailed wide left,leaving Scholz alone in front ofthe net with her hands on herhead in disbelief.

“She’s working so hard,”Crooks said. “As long as shekeeps working the way she’sworking I’m not thinking abouttaking her off unless she needsa break for a rest. She’s causingso much havoc and she’s creat-ing so many opportunities forher team and … I’m sure she’llsay, ‘This is ridiculous, I’ve gotto finish those.’ But it doesn’tcome automatically.”

Senior midfielder AshleyMedcalf scored her first goal ofthe season after coming out ofthe gates hot for Crooks, tally-ing four of the team’s first six shots.

The Waipahu, Hawaii native’sscore came in the game’s 12thminute on a corner kick sent in bysenior defender Julie Lancos.Syracuse failed to clear the kickright away, which gave Medcalf ashot at the lower right of the netto beat Anghel.

The goal was the first forRutgers in its last 381 minutesof action.

“It was nice to get my firstgoal, but I just wish we wouldhave had a better result,” saidMedcalf, who played all 103minutes. “It’s tough, but we’regoing to get through this. We’llbe all right.”

After the Orange tied thecontest 10 minutes later, theKnights could not come back towin in regulation.

Finding the finisher againstSt. John’s on Friday also proveddif ficult for the Knights’ frontthird. Despite outshooting theJohnnies, 23-4, the Knightscould not score the equalizerafter falling behind early to theRed Storm in the team’s first offive consecutive games in Piscataway.

Junior goalkeeper EmmySimpkins did her best to keepthe Knights in both contests,making crucial saves in the sec-ond half against Syracuse andthe only save by either keeperin the first over time of thesame game.

Overall, the Concord, N.C.,native made seven saves in thelosses, allowing two goals or morefor just the third time this seasonin yesterday’s loss to Syracuse.

“Emmy’s been solid all year,”Crooks said. “She made a tremen-dous reaction save off a flickheader [on the first goal]. Thatwas a marking problem and I

don’t know who lost their mark,but they’ve got to be called out.We’ll look at the last goal too. Wehaven’t loss these games becauseof our goalkeeper.”

The Knights plan on doing theonly thing they can after a four-game winless streak: Get betterduring this week of practicebefore continuing their confer-ence homestand on Fridayagainst DePaul.

With six points eluding themin each of their past two week-ends, the Knights’ postseasonchances are in serious jeopardywith five games remaining in BigEast season.

But the team will fight on,according to Medcalf.

“This whole week we’re justgoing to focus on the next twohome games,” Medcalf said.“We’re taking it one game at atime and we just half to comeout with results in both games— six points and we’ll just gofrom there.”

SYRACUSE, N.Y. — WhenEdmond Lar yea ran onto theCarrier Dome field Saturday for

his onlyplay oft h eR u t g e r s

football team’s game againstSyracuse, junior defensive tackleScott Vallone gave the linebackerhis assignment.

“Vallone looked at me andsaid, ‘Let’s go stop them,’” saidthe sixth-year senior linebackerLaryea. “That’s all I could think

of, and I was like, ‘All right, let’s go.’”

Then he learned his play assign-ment: Syracuse running backAntwon Bailey.

“I saw the opening he saw andI just put my head in there,”Laryea said.

Laryea’s tackle jarred the ballloose, forcing a fumble that cor-nerback Logan Ryan recoveredto complete a 19-16 double-over-time victory that was all aboutthe defense.

The Scarlet Knights createdfive takeaways, bringing its seasontotal to a national-best 18, and eachwas more important than the next.

Jamal Merrell’s forced fumbleand recovery came on the first playfrom scrimmage, giving Rutgers’offense momentum and field posi-tion. That, too, was fumbled awaytwo plays later, and Syracusereturned it 66 yards for the game’sfirst seven points.

“As soon as I touched the ball, Itook one step and he was there,”said redshirt freshman runningback Jawan Jamison, who fumbledhis first of 24 carries.

Defensive tackle JustinFrancis’ interception gaveRutgers the ball back after ChasDodd fumbled a poor snap atRutgers’ 26-yard line. David

Rowe’s goal line pick again bailedthe of fense out after a turnoveron the wrong side of the field.

Steve Beauharnais’ fourth-quar-ter interception gave kicker SanSan Te an opportunity to erase histwo earlier misses with a 44-yardgame-winning field goal and 11 sec-onds on the clock, but that, too,was wide left.

So it went to overtime, where Temade his two field goals andLaryea, who entered whenKhaseem Greene went down with afull-body cramp, forced a fumblethat finally ended the 4-hour-20-minute affair.

“I’ve never seen a perform-ance like that by a defense,” saidhead coach Greg Schiano. “I’msure when I turn the tape onwe’re going to have mistake aftermistake, but you think about allthe short fields they were on. Youintercept three, you get two fum-bles and you block two kicks —that’s an unbelievable day.”

SYRACUSE, N.Y. — For thethird time in as many seasons, theRutgers football team trotted outa freshman quarterback for signif-icant playing time during a BigEast game.

more Chas Dodd found a perma-nent spot on the bench.

“[Nova] made some mistakes.He also made some plays,” Schianosaid. “He did some things under agreat deal of duress. It allowed usto score some points. We movedthe ball in the first half, too. We justdidn’t score.”
