Rutgers-Newarkvoices input onpresidential search

BY AMY ROWE ASSOCIATE NEWS EDITOR

NEWARK — Some students, faculty and staff from Rutgers-Newark hope President Richard L. McCormick’s successor willgive their campus more consideration.

A forum held in the Paul Robeson Campus Center last night,hosted by four members from the Newark campus who sit onthe Presidential Search Committee, welcomed recommenda-tions for qualities in the new president at a public forum.

“The president in place should have a vision of makingNewark and Camden equal,” said Robert Snyder, an associateprofessor of visual and performing arts at Rutgers-Newark. “Weshouldn’t be stepchildren in any sense.”

Clement Alexander Price, a professor of history at Rutgers-Newark, said the committee enlisted a search firm to help rec-ommend candidates for McCormick’s replacement.

“A search firm … knows where the talent is and knows whatother searches are in process,” said Price, who sat on thesearch committee that recommended McCormick to the Boardof Governors.

He said four or five other universities are also looking for newpresidents, so the University will have to compete with theseother institutions for the best candidates.

In the last search, the names of candidates being consideredwere not released until a few hours before the Board ofGovernors made a decision.

“A lot of people don’t want their home institution to knowthey’re in the market place,” Price said. “The search

Activists encourage students to ‘Occupy’BY TABISH TALIB

CORRESPONDENT

Instead of attending class in a tradi-tional classroom, more than 50 stu-dents listened to lectures on the stepsof Brower Commons on the CollegeAvenue from Occupy Wall Street“occupiers” and the impact of theirsocial revolution.

“Every significant social movementin our past redefined the political land-scape,” said James Livingston, a pro-fessor of history and co-host of yester-

day’s Occupy New Brunswick Teach-In. “That is what is going on in ZuccottiPark right now.”

Livingston said Occupy WallStreet, which protests the influence ofmoney and corporations in govern-ment, is a momentous event that willfoster change.

Janice Fine, assistant professor oflabor studies and employment rela-tions at the University, said the corpo-rate influences in government are akinto baseball players bribing umpires orlawyers paying off judges.

“What do we say about a system, inwhich people that we elect, are offeredenormous campaign contributions forthe positions they are taking onissues?” she said. “We call [them] cam-paign contributions, but we should callthem bribes.”

Mark Bray, a member of OccupyWall Street’s press working group,said the movement is not just toprotest for a solution but an opportunity to discuss what future

Following a hearing last week that set former University stu-dent Dharun Ravi’s official trial date, the Clementi familyexpressed their approval of a court decision that prohibits thedefense from viewing Tyler Clementi’s personal documents.

Ravi faces charges for using a webcam to spy on hisroommate Clementi a year ago while he had an intimateencounter with another man. Clementi committed suicidedays after the incident.

Steven Altman, Ravi’s defense attorney, asked to view filesstored on Clementi’s computer as well as a personal documenthe wrote before the incident in order to form a defense.

But after reviewing the pieces, N.J. Superior Court JudgeGlenn Berman ruled they were irrelevant to the criminalcharges, and there was no need for the defense to see them.

“The family is grateful for the court’s sensitivity to victims’privacy rights and for the vigorous efforts of the MiddlesexCounty Prosecutor’s Office to protect those right in this case,”said the Clementi family’s attorney Paul Mainardi in a statement.

Contrary to media portrayals, the case is about whetherRavi’s conduct violated criminal law, not if his conduct causedClementi’s death, he said.

“[The ruling is important because] it reinforces the legalprotection of what we hold most private and personal in ourindividual lives, particularly for our children whose privatelives have become subject to powerful adverse conditions inthe world of electronic communication in which they live,”Mainardi said.

The family still believes there should be legal accountabilityfor Ravi’s actions, he said.

“But that legal accountability does not necessarily requirethe imposition of a harsh penalty in this case,” he said.

CLEMENTI FAMILY AGREES WITH SUPERIOR COURT RULING

BY ANASTASIA MILLICKERASSOCIATE NEWS EDITOR

Americans approving the legalizationof marijuana reached its record high of50 percent — up 4 percent from lastyear — while 46 percent say that mari-juana use should remain illegal, accord-ing to an October Gallup survey.

Gallup first addressed the topic in1969, when 12 percent of Americanswere in favor of it and 84 percent wereagainst it.

Through the late 1970s to the mid-1990s, support remained around20 percent but has increased sincethen, according to the survey. Itreached 30 percent in 2000 and 40 per-cent in 2009.

While some students supported legal-ization, others said regulation should becoupled with the move.

Marta Adamu, a School of Arts andSciences first-year student, said sheapproved of the legalization of marijuanabut warned that it possesses similar qual-ities to alcohol, a depressant.

“Drug dealers recognized the market.With regulation, government could takecontrol of that market,” she said.

Kevin Horton, a Mason Gross Schoolof the Arts senior, said he thought thatmarijuana should be legalized becausealcohol, which is also considered a drug,is legal.

“You hear stories of people doing cra-zier things drunk than high. You havemore crimes with alcohol,” he said. “Ithink it will make regulation safer.”

Age played an important factor inthe poll, with younger individuals lean-ing more toward legalization thanolder people.

Among those surveyed who were18 to 29 years old, 62 percentapproved, according to the survey. Ofthose who were 65 and older, 31 per-cent approved.

Henna Parmar, a School of Arts andSciences senior, said she does not thinkthe legalization will make the drug anyhealthier to use.

Students dive into oceanography opportunities BY JULIAN MODESTO

CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Like real-life ocean scienceprofessionals, studentsexplored the Rutgers UniversityCoastal Ocean Observation Lab(RUCOOL), a state-of-the artoceanography hub on campus.

With faculty and other stu-dents, School of Environmentaland Biological Sciences seniorsDavid Kaminsky, NilsenStrandskov and ShannonHarrison are in Phase 1 of theChallenger Mission aimed atlaunching under water robotsand gliders around the world tomeasure climate change,Kaminsky said.

To understand climatechange between the ocean andthe atmosphere, the next gliderof the Challenger Mission willbe sent from Iceland to theCanary Islands, he said.

Prior work and travel experience in oceanographysettings has allowed the three University students toprepare themselves for theChallenger Mission.

Harrison said she hasworked with earlier missions atthe University, such as the firsttrans-Atlantic glider, which waslost of f the Azores Islands.

“They sent me and two otherstudents to meet local contactsand people from the Universitythere. This was for [one of the older gliders]RU-17,” she said. “So after wewent to the Azores and wecould make contacts there, wesent RU-27.”

RU-27 is considered the heroof the successful Trans-AtlanticGlider Mission, which sent RU-27, nicknamed “Scarlet,” acrossthe Atlantic Ocean in 2009,Harrison said.

“The project went on for 14months, and it’s one of theproudest projects that I’ve everbeen on,” said RichardLudescher, a School ofEnvironmental and BiologicalSciences dean.

RU-27 reached Baiona,Spain, where Ludescher,Strandskov, Scott Glenn —founder of the RUCOOL room— and the rest of the team,awaited for its arrival, he said.Baiona is where ChristopherColumbus’s ship, the Pinta,landed after its voyage.

After the Trans-AtlanticGlider Mission ended inDecember 2010, Harrison saidshe and Kaminsky were involvedin marine science, which tookthe two to new places.

They traveled to the CaymanIslands for a global oceanogra-phy conference that had hugenetworking potential,Kaminsky said.

“I ended up at the Universityof Western Australia [withHarrison] last summer, and Idid an independent researchproject/personal internship,”Kaminsky said.

Although Kaminsky owessome of his experience to glid-ers used in the RUCOOL room,he said he worked with a dif fer-ent model, called the “seaglid-er” over the summer in Australia.

He said the dif ferences wereparallel to those between a Macand a PC.

Both Glenn, a professor ofmarine and coastal science, andPeter Rona, a professor of marine geology and geophysics, recruited Harrisonand Kaminsky.

“I’m their introduction tooceanography and learninghow the ocean works and howexciting it is, and [I] introducethem to internships and oppor tunities for hands-onwork,” said Rona, who hastaught the “Oceans of

Opportunity” Byrne Seminar. Harrison graduated high

school from the MarineAcademy of Science andTechnology in Manahawkin,N.J., Rona said.

“I wanted to go into marinescience,” Harrison said. “I grewup on the water and just enjoy it.”

Harrison, who took“Introduction toOceanography” with Rona,asked him if he knew of any lab-

oratories at the University thatspecifically studied oceanogra-phy. Rona then introduced herto Glenn.

“Scott gave me a tour of theCOOL room, and he put me onthe team,” Harrison said. “Myfirst time working in the gliderlab, they were letting me touchthe gliders and hold the gliderson my first day.”

Harrison later met Kaminskyin an oceanography seminar,she said. Later in the year, theywere both handed over gliderpiloting ability in projects.

“The experiences them-selves are incredible ... learn-ing how to make those impor-tant connections — I have inter-national connections ever y-where,” Harrison said.

Glenn sparked Kaminsky’sinterest in marine science, whowas initially a business major atBrookdale Community College.

“I had no passion, so I tookoceanography,” he said. “It’s avery rewarding field to be in,knowing we’re doing groundbreaking research and expand-ing the potential for oceanogra-phy to af fect climate change, anextremely controversial topicthat is still in the unknown.”

Other University studentswho worked on earlier glidermissions found a future inoceanography, like DanielleHolden, who graduated last May.

Holden said she dealt morewith using radar to track oceanactivity and seeing the directionof currents through glider RU-17.

“I was able to compare itwith what the glider was doing

and see in what direction theglider was going based on thedirection of the ocean current,”she said.

Holden, now pursuing hermaster’s degree in maritimestudies and doing research inport security and management,has traveled with Strandskov toNorway and Avila Beach, Calif.,for two workshops to furtherimmerse in oceanography forthe next mission.

Strandskov said Glenn maysend him to the Azores thisweek in anticipation of inter-cepting the Challenger glider inits trek to the Canaries.

The gliders have different sen-sors for conductivity, temperatureand depth, Harrison said. Thedata will serve various purposeslike obtaining real-time data usedfor climate analysis off the coastof New Jersey.

In a partnership with the Mid-Atlantic International OceanObserving System, the data fromthe COOL room’s gliders and theChallenger Mission have beenused to investigate recent changesin weather patterns as a responseto Hurricane Irene, which hit theEast Coast this August, accordingto the COOL website.

Harrison said through herexperiences, she encourages stu-dent to get involved with organiza-tions of their interest on campus.

“Watch one, do one and teachone is what Scott Glenn says,”Harrison said. “Watch a glider get-ting done, work on one and mentorstudents. … We have people fromother majors working in the lab,even English majors.”

“My first time working in the glider

lab, they were letting me touch the gliders and

hold the gliders.” SHANNON HARRISON

actions could be taken toward a new solution.

“For too long these have comepre-packaged. They’ve comefrom a certain formula. If youdon’t like it there is no otheroption, there is only option A andoption B,” he said. “We are tryingto create a space where newideas can flourish, a space whereperhaps we can come up withsomething different.”

John Connelly, a member ofRutgers Student Union, whichco-sponsored the event, saidthe University has a historywith occupations.

“The only reason I am heretoday is because at Rutgers-Newark in the 1960s, [students]took over buildings and refused togive them back until programswere created to help workingclass students afford an honesttuition,” he said.

STUDENTS: Bray says

protests ask crucial questions

“I’ve read articles which saylegalization often makes some-thing safer,” she said. “I don’tthink it’s necessary to legalizeunless there has been studiesto show that it makes it safer touse them.”

Brian Stein, a Johnson &Johnson drug specialist, saidlegalization would be beneficialnot only to the users but theindustry as a whole.

“Alcohol is legal, why can’tweed be legal? If legalized, youget regulation,” he said. “Themore regulation, the better theproduct will be in a sense thatyou know what’s in it. They’vebeen deemed safe enough toput into your body. Alcoholwas deemed safe to put intoyour body.”

Stein said if legalized, mari-juana users still need to be cogni-tive of their actions.

“You drive and you drink,then you’re going to do some-thing stupid,” he said. “Just likeheroin, if they legalize that andyou kill yourself, you can’t goback and say, ‘Hey, no onewarned you.’”

Stein said another aspect ofapproval would be the abilityfor a company to make moneyoff the existent market in alegal manner.

“Money would move insidethe system and then therecould be a tax on it, just like forcigarettes,” he said. “The policeand court system would nolonger have to spend money onbattling with weed possessions,rather that money could gotoward battling debt.”

Julia Martes, a Universityof Medicine and Dentistry ofNew Jersey student, said therehas been progress towardlegalization and was not surprised to see the increasein support.

“There’s a medical use for it and that’s beginning tobecome legalized overall,” shesaid. “Why not make it legal?When you smoke, you build up a level of THC in your body. It’s naturally occurring.Will it kill you? No. Then, why not?”

Joseph Stewart, 63-year-oldretired veteran fromWoodbridge, said he did notthink legalization was theanswer to making the drugsafer or better to use, rather it would lead to otherdrug use.

“It is illegal and it is for areason. It’s not good to put any-thing into your body,” he said.“You’re still smoking, I thinkcigarettes should be delegal-ized too. They are shown tocause cancer. I don’t thinkweed has been directly linkedto cancer, but the possibility isstill there.”

SUPPORT: Some think

drug use should be regulated

continued from front

University faculty members Dorothy Olshfski andAngie McGuire are studying the consequences of the dis-appearance of small communities throughout New Jerseythrough a series of seminars for municipal leaders.

“The character of small- and medium-sized commu-nities is changing, and it won’t come back, not for years,probably never,” Olshfski said in a Star-Ledger article.

Both faculty members work to help municipal officialsdeal with budgets and state aid budget cuts for the Centerfor Executive Leadership in Government at the University.

“People who live in these towns appreciate theyhave a character of their own and they don’t want tolose that,” Olshfski said in the article.

Collingswood Mayor Jim Maley said over thenext five to 10 years, towns will continue tochange the traditional system of towns havingtheir own police and fire departments, services forchildren and senior citizens, leaf pick-up and town-wide events.

“Whoever heard of laying off cops?” Maley said inthe article. “Ten years ago, it would have beenunthinkable. Now we’re getting used to the idea —and, if cops can go, a lot of other things will, too.”

Maley said that within the next decade, county-wide agencies, such as police and fire departments,would service many communities.

“I hear people say we have to have a local policedepartment — the cops will know us, and we knowthe cops,” he said. “I’m for that, too, but that’s notwhat the future is going to be.”

Olshfski and McGuire co-wrote a paper,“Surviving a Downturn in New Jersey: ManagementChallenges and Strategies for Municipalities,” thatwill serve as a base for seminars for municipal offi-cials beginning early November.

“What do the people want government to do?”McGuire said in the article. “Because it can’t do everything and it’s going to do a lot less in the future.”

U. FACULTY SHEDS LIGHT ON FADING NJ COMMUNITIES

Connelly, who is also vicepresident of the RutgersUniversity Student Assembly,said the movement is fractured,but that is not a detriment,

“Occupy Wall Street is a greatmovement because the peopledon’t have anything that unitesthem other than the fact thatthey realize something is goingwrong and it needs to be setright,” he said.

Bray, a third-year Ph.D stu-dent of history, said the point ofthe movement is not necessarilyto come up with solutions but toask questions about the povertyrate and the lack of education inthe country.

“These are important ques-tions, but I don’t have theanswers, and I’m not sure any oneperson has the answers,” he said.“The point is if we don’t ask thesequestions, the questions won’t beasked, and the answers will neverbecome readily available.”

Livingston did provide somesolutions to economic problems,including how to avoid a futurecrash of the economy.

“The only way out of this is notre-regulation but to socializeinvestments and socialize thebanks,” he said. “It’s not really aradical solution, because we thetaxpayers already guarantee eachothers deposits. We just now haveto take responsibility for it.”

Livingston said the concernsfor raising taxes should not begiven the weight they have inpolitical conversation.

“The rich say that they alreadypay 40 percent in taxes. I don’tcare — raise their taxes. They arestill going to remain rich,” he said.

The real issue in the crisiswould be to tax corporate profits,Livingston said.

“The personal income tax codedoesn’t matter very much,” hesaid. “What matters is taxes oncorporate profits, which have fall-en precipitously since the 1960sand personal income taxes havemade up the difference.”

Bray said the movementshould also start to take place inNew Brunswick.

“It’s important to think ofthis as not something happen-

ing only in New York, and it canbe reproduced in cities andtowns, and that’s been happen-ing throughout the country,” he said. “I’m hoping for anOccupy everywhere.”

Connelly, a School of Artsand Sciences junior, said hethinks an Occupy movement inNew Brunswick right now wouldbe ill-advised.

“Occupation as a tactic is notsomething that can be misused,it’s not something that can bedone on a lark. There has to be abuild up to it,” he said.

Connelly cited the occupationof President Richard L.McCormick’s office after the“Walk Into Action” protest lastsemester as an example.

“Last year’s occupation of OldQueens was after a solid year ofeducational events, of rallies, ofletter deliveries, and finally stu-dents who had had enough, tookover Old Queens for 36 hours,”he said. “However, as a lastmeasure, it has been effectivehistorically and probably couldbe again.”

Group to exchange ideas on enhancing residence lifeBY HENNA KATHIYA

STAFF WRITER

The University Residence HallAssociation will attend a regionalconference next month that willbring 45 universities from aroundthe area together to discuss waysto make living on campus a betterexperience for students.

The Central AtlanticAf filiate of College andUniversity Residence Hallsconference is being held thisyear at Towson University.

CAACURH promotes academ-ic, intellectual, cultural and socialunderstanding among affiliatedschools and their representativesprovide an opportunity for leader-ship development and activities in“on-campus” living units, accord-ing to the conference website.

“The purpose of these confer-ences is to come together to dis-cuss basic leadership stuff andhow to make campus life better forthe students through things suchas programming or being able to

provide certain amenities,” saidDave Osworth, NationalCommunications coordinator.

In the national scheme ofRHAs there are two conferences,said Grant Whelply, president ofthe University Residence HallAssociation. Other than theregional conference, there is anational event called the NationalAssociation of College andUniversity Residence Halls.

Although the national confer-ence is not until next year, RHA isgearing up for the regional confer-ence in November, said Osworth, aSchool of Environmental andBiological Sciences junior.

“We are always working toraise the standard of living oncampus,” he said. “At the confer-ences we have gender-neutralbathrooms as a model of some-thing we could possibly do at ourown university to accommodatetransgender students.”

Ten people from theUniversity’s RHA are chosen toattend the conferences to learn

more about leadership skills,Osworth said.

“The students that go are basi-cally getting trained in being bet-ter leaders,” he said. “They comeback with new skills and ideas tobe the best RHA we can be for the

campus. It is a valuable experi-ence for them as well as the bet-terment of RHA.”

He said the conferencesallow dif ferent universities tocome together and exchange

ideas that they can bring back totheir own schools.

“We learn a lot about the dif-ferent policies and different pro-tocols we can implement here onour campus,” Osworth said.

Bidding for national awardswill take place at this year’s regional conference, saidWhelply, a School of Arts andSciences junior.

“The bidding process is anhonor. We’re bidding for nationalawards this year,” he said. “Thewhole bidding process is veryvaluable for RHA.”

RHAs can also feature vari-ous programs at the confer-ence, said Steven Le, associatedirector for administration andfinance of CAACURH.

“We can showcase any suc-cessful program or any other ideawe have that we think will be asuccessful idea that can bebrought to any other campus inthe Central Atlantic region,” saidLe, a School of Environmentaland Biological Sciences senior.

Programs should emphasizethe importance of working with theavailable resources, according tothe conference website. The pro-grams can encompass how to buildrelationships with fellow organiza-tions, administrations and the com-munity outside of the campus,

“This is the foundation of theconference and how we canbuild and expand upon leader-ship individually and withinyour organization,” Le said. “Wewant programs that will inspirenew ideas, foster innovativeguidance and expand upon thedefinition of a leader.”

The conference runs fromNov. 11 to 13. The studentsattending pay for the trip throughfundraising, Whelply said.

“We don’t get paid for this, it’scompletely voluntary. We justwant to be able to make this cam-pus the best it can be for the stu-dents,” Osworth said. “We wantto be effective leaders and theseare the types of conferences thathelp us achieve that.”

“We learn a lotabout the differentpolicies, differentprotocols we canimplement here on our campus.”

“I have not seen any goodfaith efforts to [fix it]. It will hin-der your ability to find a newpresident,” she said. “We havefaculty not making what theyshould and staff living below thepoverty line.”

Megan Geerdts, a graduatestudent in the Newark Collegeof Arts andSciences, also saidthat an agreementregarding facultyand staff salariesshould be reachedbefore a candidateis selected.

“The RutgersOne coalition willcontinue to bringthis issue forwardin forums like thisuntil we’re heard,”she said.

Geerdts alsoemphasized the importance ofgraduate programs at theUniversity and the role doctoral students play in edu-cating undergraduates.

“U.S. colleges are fallingbehind in graduation rates ofdoctoral students,” she said.

Kendall Stange, a NewarkCollege of Arts and Sciencessophomore, said a challengefor the next president might beexecuting the merger betweenthe University of Medicine andDentistry of New Jersey andthe University.

At this point, McCormick is hoping to merge the RobertWood Johnson Medical School,

the UMDNJSchool of PublicHealth and theCancer Institute ofNew Jersey withthe University.

But Stangehopes all ofUMDNJ, includingthe New JerseyMedical Schoolbased in Newark,will be included inthe merger.

“If there is a merger, the

[University] should accept NJMSand all of UMDNJ, because notdoing so would disenfranchiseNewark as well as Rutgers-Newark,” he said.

He also hopes the new presidentwill incorporate the goals of Newarkcampus Chancellor Steven Diner,

who resigned last week from his position.

“He should view theUniversity less as a brandname and more as a breedingground for education,” he said.“The president must disdaintuition increases.”

Price said Diner’s resigna-tion has not added more pres-sure for the committee to com-plete its search.

“This is a process whosefuture is unknown and very deli-cate issues will surface,” he said.

Price also said the next presi-dent has the chance to start a newtradition at the University.

“Rutgers has never had awoman president or someonewho comes from a racial minority,” he said. “Rutgers’future looks quite dif ferent.McCormick has bragged thatthe freshmen class is no longerpredominantly Caucasian.”

Although representativesfrom Rutgers-Newark constitutea minority of the PresidentialSearch Committee, Price saidhe will make sure their voicesare heard.

“We will be vigilant [so] thatRutgers-Newark is on thetable,” he said.

Price said the committee willhave to encourage candidates atother public research institutionsin the country to consider pursu-ing the job.

“They will, for the most part,have not thought about a jobchange and will be reluctant,”he said.

Claudia Beckmann, an asso-ciate professor of the Rutgers-Newark College of Nursing,said the next president shouldmake himself available to theUniversity community.

“The new president needs toestablish a venue for open com-munication with faculty, studentsand staff for a shared gover-nance, not a top-down gover-nance,” she said.

Pa. launchestakeover ofcapital city

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

HARRISBURG, Pa. — Gov.Tom Corbett launched a statetakeover of the heavily indebtedcapital city on Monday by declar-ing a fiscal emergency inHarrisburg — a move viewed asthe state’s most aggressive inter-vention into the affairs of aPennsylvania city.

Corbett, a Republican, madethe declaration four days aftersigning a law that grants himthe ability to take unprecedent-ed control over much ofHarrisburg’s finances, includ-ing the ability to use the city’smoney to ensure that govern-ment continues to operate services, issue paychecks toemployees and make pensionand debt payments.

“City Council’s failure to enacta recovery plan in order to dealwith the city’s distressed financeshas led me to declare a fiscal emer-gency,” Corbett said in a state-ment. “This action ensures thatvital services will continue andpublic safety will be protected.”

The likelihood of Corbett’stakeover hastened a move by adivided City Council — in defi-ance of Corbett — to file aChapter 9 bankruptcy petitionin federal court earlier thismonth. The judge has yet todecide whether the petition willbe accepted.

If it is, Corbett may not beable to pursue an even tightergrip on the city that the lawauthorizes: Appointing a receiverwho would have the power to sellcity assets, approve contractsand file for federal bankruptcyprotection, but not raise taxes,with a goal of forcing it to paydown the approximately $300million debt tied to the city’s ill-starred trash incinerator.

Already, the city missedtens of millions of dollars inpayments on the incineratordebt, but the City Councilrejected a state-sanctionedfinancial recovery plan to paydown the debt and has beenunable to agree on a repaymentstrategy with DemocraticMayor Linda Thompson.

Neil Grover, a lawyer wholives in the city and co-foundedthe taxpayers’ group DebtWatch Harrisburg, said he wasdisappointed at the latest turnof events and worried abouthow the governor will use thesweeping powers given to himby a law that opponents say is unconstitutional.

“We’re concerned about theextraordinary powers the legisla-tion gives the governor as of thismoment, and they are extraordi-nary,” Grover said.

The first concern, he said, isover how Corbett will apply thelaw, although Grover also sug-gested that he is doubtful that theCorbett administration has muchroom to maneuver given theauthority of a bankruptcy court.

Thompson, who has soughtCorbett’s backing in her stale-mate with the City Council, calledon council members to give heran acceptable plan to take to thestate and avert the full breadth ofa takeover.

“If we don’t attempt to solveour own fiscal problems, thealternatives will be far worse,”she said in a statement Monday.

“He should view the University less as a brand name

and more as a breeding ground for education.” KENDALL STANGE

Back to the light bulbslaw — passed duringGeorge W. Bush’s adminis-tration, making this a bipar-tisan problem. The moreenergy efficient, compactfluorescent bulbs have asmall problem — they havemercury in them, whichcould lead to even more

environmental damage. As is often the case, well-meaning reforms will most likely lead to unneces-sary problems. Compact fluorescent lamps may bethe Obama administration’s favored technology, butit’s up to individuals to decide which is better, notthe government.

“Cash for Clunkers” boosted automotive indus-try profits in the short-run, but analyses of the pro-gram have shown that most of the profits came frompeople who were going to buy cars anyway. Theysimply bought them sooner, since their purchaseswere subsidized. And since so many of the cars trad-ed in were destroyed, the price of used carsincreased, depriving lower-income consumers ofthis previously available option.

And Obamacare? Two Fridaysago, the administration announcedthat the Community LivingAssistance Services and SupportsAct, a major provision of Obamacare,is to be canceled because it proved tobe insolvent. Obama’s forecast thatthe law will lower health care premi-ums turned out to be incorrect, too.

The average family’s health premium went up 9 per-cent this year, which might not be so bad comparedto future increases.

It’s unreasonable to expect a person to explainthe meaning of life in one sentence, and it’s equallyfoolhardy to expect a person working for the gov-ernment to spend people’s money better than theycan. Any government official is limited by what hedoesn’t know and the inability, in devising a solu-tion, to account for every possible circumstance towhich it might apply. The world is too complicated,and human beings have too many choices and vari-ables in their lives. It’s hard enough attaining thethings we do want, without government coercing usto buy things we don’t want.

But this is what we have come to expect from theObama administration, with all its Ivy League diplo-mas. In the wise words of philosopher and comedi-an Felonious Munk, “You’re the best and brightest?Harvard, Yale, Brown, Cornell. This is what we putout? Should’ve went to Norfolk State … would’vegotten the same education.”

I hate to nitpick, but Chu’s alma mater is not theproblem. The problem is his and the Obama admin-istration’s leftist view of government that promotesfoolish solutions to problems that don’t exist.

“The students that go are basically getting trained in being better leaders.”

Dave Osworth, National Communications Coordinator for the RHA, on attending the CAACURH conference.

STORY IN UNIVERSITY

QUOTE OF THE DAY

O ne of the most fascinating aspects of President BarackObama’s 2008 presidential campaign was the way his team uti-lized the Internet to garner supporters, specifically through

Facebook. It was truly the first time social media had such a massiveimpact on America. Now, Obama’s 2012 campaign is set to advance thestate of social media in politics yet again with the introduction of theofficial Obama 2012 Tumblr page. For those who don’t know, Tumblris a microblog that is especially popular among cat enthusiasts, Gleefans and the elusive hipster — but with the addition of an Obama blog,the website could find itself gaining levels of popularity similar toFacebook or Twitter.

The Obama campaign’s decision to join Tumblr is savvy in the tra-ditional sense that it found a way to tap into a demographic that moretraditional politicians could easily miss out on. Obama has thrust him-self headfirst into a rather vibrant area of Internet culture, thus creat-ing a direct connection with Tumblr users. But what’s even more inter-esting about the president’s foray into this area of social media is whatit says about the changing state of politics. No longer is the presiden-tial race being held at arm’s length from the youth — now, it’s playingout right before their very eyes, in the places where they go to hangout and kill time.

One should also note the collaborative aspect of Obama’s Tumblr.Using the website’s “ask” and “submit” features, the campaign isencouraging Tumblr users to help construct the campaign itself — toshape the paths it takes and the issues it highlights. Of course, asObama’s Tumblr acknowledges in the very first post, “there will betrolls” — and there have been already. But the amount of Obamamemes that have sprung up already — the page launched yesterday —still suggests a further democratization of the democratic process,which is characteristic of the modern approach to politics. Tumblr letsusers know that the president is not an untouchable figurehead — he’sa person just like anyone else. It adds a human element to the presi-dential race, making it more immediate and more important to thestereotypically disaffected youth.

Only time will tell if the Obama campaign’s move to Tumblr bringsreal results or merely turns out to be a bust. Still, though, we shouldall pay attention to how the rules change even further with the 2012elections. Life is being injected back into democracy, and we would allbe foolish not to take advantage of that fact.

Q uick, tell me themeaning of life in one sentence.

I’m waiting …Don’t feel bad if you can-

not answer the questionbecause it’s a dumb ques-tion. I doubt anyone cansummarize the world,human existence or themeaning of life at all, let alone in one sentence.

When describing historic figures, we can man-age somewhat better. But still, condensing theachievements of men like George Washington —“the father of this country” — or Abraham Lincoln— “he freed the slaves” — into a single sentencedoesn’t quite capture the breadth of their influence.

Sometimes, though, life makes it easy. ConsiderPresident Barack Obama’s administration. There isno better summary of the president’s governing phi-losophy than what the Secretary of Energy StevenChu said about the upcoming ban of incandescentbulbs, which cost less money than newer, moreenergy-efficient bulbs, but consume more energythroughout their shorter life spans.

Chu said, “We are taking away achoice that continues to let peoplewaste their own money.”

This succinctly expressed senti-ment helps explain just about everydomestic policy pursued by theObama administration. From the2009 Economic Stimulus Package to“Cash for Clunkers” to Obamacare,and everything in between, the Obama administra-tion believes its duty is to herd the lost sheep amongAmerican people. Not to fear, our benevolent andvirtuous government has come to rescue us fromour inability to spend our own money rationally.

These feelings are not, of course, isolated to theObama administration. Remember what Sen. JohnKerry, D-Mass., said in 2009 about cutting taxes, “Ifyou put a tax cut into the hands of a business or fam-ily, there’s no guarantee that they’re going to investthat or invest it in America. They’re free to go investanywhere that they want if they choose to invest.”

Yes, Americans might have lost some rights overthe years, but we still have the right not to spend ourown money if we chose not to, right? Well,Obamacare does mandate that everybody purchasehealth insurance. So we’ve lost that right, too.

Why exactly is this attitude — that the govern-ment can force people to spend their money moreefficiently — so intolerable, even if its goals arewell-meaning?

For starters, it’s degrading to the adults whohave gone through their life making difficult deci-sions about where to live, what to eat and how tospend their money without the government influ-encing their decisions.

The more important reason, however, why it isdangerous for government officials to promotesuch policies is that they are terrible ideas withterrible consequences.

Uphold human rightsin all circumstances

Obama’s campaignspurs political progress

F ollowing 42 years of tyrannical rule, Moammar Gadhafi is dead.While it’s a cause of joy for the Libyan people and their support-ers across the world, Gadhafi’s death is not without controversy.

His capture by rebel forces is documented in extremely graphic cell-phone videos, which show the former ruler bloodied and beaten. TheUnited Nations’ Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights andhuman rights groups have raised concerns over this footage. As RupertColville, a spokesman for the OHCHR, explains it, “More details areneeded to ascertain whether he was killed in some form of fighting orwas executed after his capture.” Appropriately enough, the OHCHR hasseen it fit to launch an investigation into Gadhafi’s death, to set therecord straight regarding the possible human rights violations that mayor may not have occurred. While it is an extremely touchy subject, suchan investigation is absolutely necessary in this case.

To be sure, Gadhafi was a tyrant. There’s simply no other way todescribe his rule, and the fact that he has been ousted for good is noth-ing but positive. However, that does not change the fact that it isextremely difficult to watch the aforementioned cellphone footage ofhis capture and treatment at the hands of the rebels. Human rightsapply to every human being — hence the name. As such, the OHCHRcould not just throw those rights away in the case of a particularly bru-tal person. If they did, they would begin to sink to Gadhafi’s level, andthe point of ousting him in the first place was essentially to make surethat such conduct did not continue. As Colville said, “You can’t justchuck the law out of the window.”

Even in the case of tyrants, there are proper law protocols thatshould be followed. The law is in place to keep order and to preventchaos from erupting. When the law is ignored or abused, that is whenthe problems start. Gadhafi’s rule can stand as an example of whathappens when laws are abused. To ensure that the law is followed,then, an OHCHR is necessary. Human rights must be upheld in allcases, no matter the extenuating circumstances. If people start mak-ing exceptions, they start down a very slippery slope.

“Well-meaningreforms will

most likely lead to ... problems.”

W e read in The DailyTargum on Oct. 19that the Big East

has increased their exit fee to$10 million.

The University couldchoose to leave the Big Eastand pay $10 million from theirreserves or choose to investthis money in the individualswho teach one-third of theclasses at the University, thepart-time lecturers (PTLs).

There are about 1,200 PTLsteaching at the University, mostteaching one or two courses forthe minimum salary of $1,500per credit. The University couldshell out millions of dollars to theBig East or invest that money inPTLs, the educators who are fur-thering the core mission of theUniversity: education.

The University could raise thesalaries of each PTL 10 percentper semester over the next fouryears and still not spend $10 mil-lion — supporting professional,hard-working individuals whoare proud to teach at theUniversity. Or it could give themoney to the Big East, and whoknows how it will be spent. It is amatter of priorities.

While the University search-es for a new president and pre-pares to merge with the medicalschool in New Brunswick, prior-ities are crucial. Will our newpresident value undergraduateeducation? Will teaching retaina place in our mission even aswe enhance our research goalsand reputation with theUniversity of Medicine andDentistry of New Jersey?

Letter

In order to better foster rational civil discourse, The Daily Targum changed the policy regarding post-

ing comments on our website. We believe the comment system should be used to promote thought-

ful discussion between readers in response to the various articles, letters, columns and editorials pub-

lished on the site. The Targum's system requires users to log in, and an editor must approve com-

ments before they are posted.

We believe this anonymity encourages readers to leave comments that do not positively contribute

to an intellectual discussion of the articles and opinions pieces published. The Targum does not con-

done these sorts of personal attacks on anyone. We think the best way to prevent the continued

spread of hateful language is to more closely oversee the comment process.

Daily review: laurels and darts

W ay back in 2008, when Barack Obama was running for pres-ident on his platform of “Change we can believe in,” one ofthe many avenues of progress he touted was the removal of

U.S. troops from Iraq. Three years later, he’s finally delivering on thatpromise. Obama announced Friday that every one of our soldierswould be out of Iraq at the end of the year, after nine long years of war.We wish this had happened sooner — for a president who promisedchange, he definitely dragged his feet. However, nitpicking aside,we’re mostly happy to see this finally happen. We give Obama a laurelfor bringing our men and women back home.

The easiest way to defang any political movement is to make thesubject of a reality show, especially one on MTV, known purveyors ofstyle over substance. Of course, this hasn’t stopped the television giantfrom making Occupy Wall Street into the subject of an upcoming spe-cial episode of the documentary series “True Life.” MTV has triedmany times in the past to position itself as a legitimate political entity,but it has never succeeded in producing any programming of actualpolitical substance. We doubt that will change now. Therefore, we dartMTV for its decision to make Occupy Wall Street into yet another grabfor ratings masquerading as serious coverage of youth activism.

courses here, and they arenotoriously underpaid, have nojob security and receive nohealth insurance. Even anannual eye exam is too muchfor the University to spend onUniversity educators. Do webelieve that putting teachers inour classrooms who cannotaf ford to go to a doctor is theright way to go?

Other faculty and staff havealso been putting up with nosalary increases for almost threeyears now, and students go intodebt regularly because of tuitionhikes and housing costs. Faculty,staff and students should not besecond thoughts behind theneeds of the Big East — we arethe University.

PTLs have been trying torenegotiate a new union con-tract with the administrationsince April 2011. The adminis-tration has been delaying nego-tiations and has yet to evenmake a salary proposal. Weexpect a significant sum ofmoney to be spent on the merg-er and the potential of another$10 million if the Universitydecides to leave the Big East —so the funds are there.

Let us get our prioritiesstraight — are we educating stu-dents and producing the nextgeneration of civic leaders, or arewe wheeling and dealing in ath-letic conferences?

Athletics can be an impor-tant part of the college experi-ence, but should it be at theexpense of dedicated teachingand the students’ educationalprocess? Part-time lecturers arean important, but unacknowl-edged part of the University.

As for the rest of the week-end, Rutgers’ two doublesteams reached the secondround before getting knockedout. Bucca made it clear that doubles play is one of the biggest things that theteam must focus on for thespring season.

“I felt as though we couldhave had a better finish,”

Bucca said. “But nev-er theless we playedwell, and I’m surewe’ll play good dou-bles in the spring.”

With a short fallseason in the books,Bucca, Petrini and therest of the team nowprepare for the length-ier spring season.Petrini’s performancesends them into the

offseason with plenty of confi-dence, which can only help in aspring season that culminateswith the Big East Tournament.

“This was definitely a confi-dence booster, not only toVanessa personally, but also theteam,” Bucca said. “It’s the per-fect way to end the fall seasonon such a high note. We havesomething special ahead of usin the spring.”

The Knights also had three other players crack thetop 20.

Junior Karen Cash tied for10th with a 156, junior BrittanyWeddell finished 12th with a157, and senior captain LizzyCarl shot a 163, good enoughfor 17th place.

Elisa Mateer carded a 166and rounded out the Knights’scorecard, putting her in a tiefor 23rd place.

While Waters-Ballard hopedfor a better finish, she wasproud of the team — especiallybecause it showed consistency,leading to better results.

“Once you get more consis-tency, you will lower thescores,” she said.

With Lehigh out of the way,the Knights now look towardtheir fall season finale inHawaii, a territory foreign tothe entire team.

Since none of the playershave been to Hawaii, allWaters-Ballard can do isresearch the course and tr y to imagine what itis like.

“It’s pretty beachy,” Waters-Ballad said. “It could be similarto some of the courses weplayed in Florida.”

Despite the unfamiliar terri-tory, Waters-Ballard and theteam look forward to the futuretournaments more than ever.

WORD ON THE STREET

Knights take Big East’s best to five sets on roadBY PATRICK LANNI

STAFF WRITER

Marquette claimed sole pos-session of first place in the BigEast standings Sunday by deny-

ing theRutgersv o l l e y -b a l lt e a m ’ su p s e t

bid with a 3-2 victory. A back-and-forth af fair had

all the makings of an upset, but Marquette grabbed a 12-10lead in the fifth and final setthat forced Rutgers’ headcoach CJ Werneke to call a timeout.

The Scarlet Knights broughtit together out of their timeout,as freshman Sofi Cucuz landeda kill to cut the deficit to 1.

But an error on the next playby Cucuz pushed Marquette’slead back to 2.

Junior Allie Jones then land-ed her 18th and 19th kills ofthe match to tie the set at 13,but another attack error put

the Golden Eagles back on topwith match point.

Sophomore Sheridan Taylordenied Marquette’s victor ywith a cross-court kill and gavethe Knights wiggle room.

But Marquette won the nexttwo rallies and handed the Knights their seventh BigEast loss.

“We were reallyhappy with the way wecompeted,” Wernekesaid. “It was excitingto see us play that wayagainst the best teamin the conference.”

A moment in thefourth set hadMarquette (18-6, 8-0) onits heels and theKnights sensing victory.

With the Knights (8-17, 1-7)up, 2-1, in sets, senior HannahCurtis served an ace that gavethe Knights an early 2-1 lead. AGolden Eagle error extended thelead and another Curtis ace gavethe Knights momentum.

Jones then delivered back-to-back kills to extend the lead

to 5, and Curtis’ third ace ofthe set forced Marquette’shead coach Bond Shymanskyto call a timeout.

Marquette quickly answeredon the hot seat, turning thepressure to the Knights withruns of its own.

An eight-point run put theGolden Eagles backon top, as theyextended their lead to4. Another eight-pointrun gave Marquette a22-12 lead and soon, afourth set victory wasin line.

“To go out thereand play like we didagainst Marquette [onthe road] in front of abig crowd says some-

thing about us,” Curtis said. For a team struggling away

from the College Avenue Gymthis season, the Knights’ show-case in Milwaukee definitelysent a message.

“I would say it was the biggeststep for us because it was on theroad,” Werneke said.

Despite winning the firsttwo sets and hanging in withthe conference’s best Sunday,the stor y was not the sameFriday in Syracuse.

Dropping the first two sets tothe Orange (15-8, 4-3), Wernekerallied his squad in the lockerroom at the break.

“During the halftime speechCJ said a few things that madeus think,” Curtis said.

Winning the third set, theKnights pushed a fourth setbut could not overcome theOrange attack and dropped thematch, 3-1.

Jones returned for the firsttime since Sept. 3 to face theOrange and led the Knightswith 14 kills and a .684 hittingpercentage en route to earninga spot on the Big East WeeklyHonor Roll.

“When you have a player ofher caliber, it takes some pressure of f of other players,”Werneke said. “[Jones] opensup scoring oppor tunities and makes us a more mobile team.”

The layoff was frustrating,Forst said, but he found value inan observing role.

“Obviously, the situation com-ing into this year wasn’t what I’dlike it to be, but … no matterwhat your situation is, there’sreally one thing you can control,and that’s how you approachwhat you’re doing,” he said.

Humbled, Forst spentgames watching Rutgers’ guardplay and giving advice to theteam’s starters.

He worked with Lowery, whohe eventually replaced at rightguard against the Midshipmen.

Forst earned his second con-secutive start Friday at Louisville,although redshirt freshman BetimBujari earned more playing time.

Ruch returned to a starter’srole as well.

The Knights did not allow a sackagainst a Football Bowl Subdivisonopponent for the first time this sea-son, but lacked any big-play abilityto put points on the board.

Freshman Savon Huggins’ 26-yard run was Rutgers’ longestplay from scrimmage, but theKnights only managed 91 yardson the ground.

The absence of the big playin the Rutgers football team’sof fense was never more evi-dent than Friday in a 16-14loss to Louisville.

The Scarlet Knights missedthree shots downfield, andtheir longest play from scrim-mage this season remains ascreen pass Joe Martinek tookfor 60 yards.

Of the 104 passes Rutgersquarterbacks completed thisseason, only 16 went for morethan 20 yards.

“We have not hit the homerun, period, ver y much,” said head coach GregSchiano. “That’s somethingwe’re lacking as an of fense,and I think that’s why we’renot scoring enough points.The shots are there. We’veeither dropped them, we’veunder thrown them, we’veoverthrown them — all dif fer-ent reasons. But we’ve got tohit them. That’s what big-timeteams do. We haven’t done it.”

The lack of a big-playthreat is part of the reasontrue freshman wide receiverMiles Shuler played Friday for the first time since the season opener.

The state-champion sprint-er played quarterback at LongBranch High School and is inhis first season at wide receiv-er. Schiano is quick to of fer areminder that he continues toadjust to the position and thathe can do more than stretchthe field with his speed.

But with only two collegegames under his belt, that iswhat he does best.

“He’s probably the fastestguy on the field at any time,”said freshman quar terbackGary Nova.

Nova said he feels like theof fense is close to breakingone after he missed twice

Friday on throws to Shulerand Brandon Coleman, but hit Mark Harrison, whodropped a potential 84-yard touchdown.

The Don Bosco Prep prod-uct also threw three intercep-tions, bringing his total for thepast two weeks to five. Still,Schiano maintained Nova ishis quarterback.

“It shows coach has a lot ofconfidence in me,” Nova said.“I’m really thankful of theopportunity that he left me inthere, and I’m going makehim proud. I’m not going toplay like that again. There’snot going to be too many loss-es happening around here.”

SCHIANO SPOKE TOsenior kicker San San Te sincehe missed a pair of field goals against Louisville andsaid the kicker’s issues are technical.

Te already made five fieldgoals from 40-plus yards thisseason after making only sixfrom that range over the firstthree years of his career.

But his kicks againstLouisville were from 25 and 31yards. He also missed a pair of kicks against Navy, makinghim 0-for-4 in the past two games.

“He needs to go back tobasics, which he did [Sundayin practice],” Schianosaid. “He’ll be fine. San San isa good kicker. Unfortunatelyhe’s missed a few here, buthe’ll be back.”

SENIOR DEFENSIVE ENDManny Abreu is expected to playSaturday against West Virginiaafter missing most of the gameagainst Louisville with a handinjury.

An X-ray did not reveal anybreaks.

“I think Manny will be OK,”Schiano said. “He’ll have to wearsomething on it, I’m sure.”

ning game,” Forst said. “You guyssee the ones that are the big playsin the passing game, but you don’tnotice the ones that should be 60-yarders in the running game.”

The Knights afforded fresh-man quarterback Gary Novatime in the pocket, but they didnot convert big plays through theair either.

Drops played a factor, alongwith overthrown and under-thrown balls. But Nova insists bigplays are in the Knights’ future,even though they take lesschances downfield to help theoffensive line.

“It’d be great for any team toget a homerun,” Nova said. “Ithink one’s coming our way. Wehad an unfortunate few plays hap-pen. I think things are going tostart rolling for us.”

The Knights delivered a sus-tained effort against Navy, butLouisville’s second-ranked BigEast defense proved stouteragainst the run.

The job does not get easierSaturday against West Virginia,the same team Rutgers faced in2008 when Forst made his firstcareer appearance.

The Mountaineers boast an exot-ic 3-5-3 scheme, although theirdefense allows 25.4 points per game.

“There’s a lot of things we canlearn going forward about how toimprove,” Forst said. “I just thinkyou have to get better. That’s thebottom line.”

But they heated up the secondday, with three of the Knightsimproving their scores.

The reason was the dif fer-ence between the greens atSaucon Valley Countr y Club,which were much quicker thanthe ones at Rutgers, Waters-Ballard said.

Once the Knights got accus-tomed to the speed of thegreens, things improved.

“They couldn’t wait to get backout there for the second round,”Waters-Ballard said.

Freshman Kor tnieMaxoutopoulis led Rutgers forthe fourth time by securing herfourth consecutive top-five finishin as many tournaments.

Maxoutopoulis finished fifth,carding a 152, five strokes behindthe first-place score.

“She was pretty satisfied withher play, but lost a few strokes onher putts,” Waters-Ballard said.

Sophomore Vanessa Petrinibecame the first Scarlet Knight inprogram history to advance tothe tournament’s semifinals,where she lost to Yale’s ElizabethEpstein in straight sets.

“What clearly distinguishedher was her competitive spirit,”said head coach Ben Bucca.“When the points mattered,Vanessa was able to control themoment so she could play reallygood tennis at the right timewhile her opponents did not. It’sthe little things that make all thedif ference in tennis.”

The tournament, which takesplace at Yale, features a field of 88.

Petrini had three victoriesagainst seeded players on herway to the semifinal round. Withthe fall season now of ficiallyover for the Knights, Petrini canenter the of fseason on a high note and use her strong fall finish when the spring season begins.

Bucca par ticularly enjoyedwatching Petrini’s path throughthe tournament because heknew the Stamford, Conn.,native set regional success asone of her preseason goals.

The name on the tape readslike a political campaign slogan.

Senior right guard Art Forstadmits he and center Caleb Ruch

watch itfrom time

to time, but Forst has little timenow for memories.

“Sometimes if we’re watchingold cut-up, we’ll see ‘Forst-Ruch

of 2008’ on the film,” Forst said. “It’s kind of amusing, butthere’s still five more games leftto play.”

Forst and Ruch first emergedon the Rutgers football team’sof fensive line in 2008, and thepair remained starters through-out the 2009 season. But Rucheventually lost his job at rightguard, and Forst got lost last sea-son in the Scarlet Knights’ of fen-sive line shuffle.

The two-year starter and for-mer No. 4 prospect in NewJersey reserved a place on thebench, making way for AntwanLowery at right guard.

At one point, the coachingstaf f relegated him to a blockingtight end role.

Forst suf fered through ham-string and ankle injuries last season, when the Knightsallowed a Division-I worst total insacks. He was never fully

healthy following Rutgers’ BigEast opener last season against Connecticut.

“That was tough,” he said.“This year you can’t really thinkabout it.”

Forst remained trapped deepwithin the Knights’ depth chartthis season until he earned his first star t two weeks agoagainst Navy.
