“We created a Facebook group thatsimply blew up with over 1,600 mem-bers,” Fernandez said. “I’ve never seenso much synergy.”

The page features all the efforts oncampus to help Hurricane Sandy victimsin one place so that students could cometogether and share the resources avail-able at the time, he said.

The page, called “Help Rutgers andNew Brunswick Sandy Refugees,” wasupdated in real time as the situationevolved, Glaser said.

Despite last week’s hurricanethrowing off rehearsals for theAssociation of Indians at Rutgers’54th annual AIR show, boardmembers decided the show mustgo on tonight at the State Theatrein downtown New Brunswick.

Morli Gandhi, president of theassociation, said this year’spreparations for the show wereespecially stressful becauseHurricane Sandy pushed backpractices to this week.

The program usually includesa skit, which is the main event,dances and other artistic per-formances, said Mohitha Sripathi,program manager for AIR.

“Every year, there is a differ-ent storyline in the skits,” saidSripathi, a School of Arts andSciences senior. “This year’sshow is titled ‘Chaarat: Crave theImpossible,’ and is about a youngman who drops his ambitions tobe a doctor and decides to try tomake it big in Bollywood.”

The AIR show, which is heldevery November, is meant tobring together all the differentSouth Asian-based universitystudent groups through show-casing their talents and skills,Sripathi said.

Sripathi said the show usual-ly has about 200 participantswho come from various fraterni-ties, sororities and performingarts groups.

Miraj Barodia, the associa-tion’s liaison to the University’sClass of 2014, said there are othernon-South Asian based studentgroups that are involved in theprogram, who focus on the fash-ion show element of the night.

“It is a lot of work, and it’shectic, but we have a lot of fundoing it,” said Barodia, a Schoolof Arts and Sciences junior. “This

is a really well-run organizationand a tight knit board, in whichwe get along and work well witheach other.”

The association prepares giftboxes for the show’s participantsout of appreciation for their con-tributions, Sripathi said.

Barodia said the AIR showrequires an extensive multi-steppreparation process.

“Basically, we need to gathersponsorships, book the venues,dates and times, make flyers, dopublic relations work for the showand then conduct auditions, prac-tices and rehearsals,” he said.

Gandhi, a School of Ar ts and Sciences senior, said plan-ning the show involves a collec-tive ef fort.

“All 24 board members put ingrueling hours to make this showa success, but the creativity thatparticipants bring to the stage iswhat allows the show to continueand make this show spectacular,”she said.

The Association of Indians atRutgers was established by agroup of Indian students morethan 50 years ago to raise aware-ness of India’s culture to the larg-er community, Barodia said.

He said the association wasalso created to bring a feeling ofcommunity to the University’sIndian students and their families.

“It helped bring to them asense of home away from home,”Barodia said.

The association has about 150members and is led by a generalboard that is responsible forpreparing and planning the associa-tion’s events and activities, he said.

Within the general board is afive-member executive board,made up of the president, vicepresident, treasurer, secretaryand programming manager.

The association conductsother events throughout the year,such as a cultural dance, Garba,and an involvement fair for vari-ous South Asian student organiza-tions, Gandhi said.

She said the association partic-ipates in the Salaam-Namaste con-ference in conjunction with thePakistani Students Associationeach spring to promote friend-ships between Indian andPakistani University students.

“It is to show unity between theIndian and Pakistani student organ-izations here at Rutgers, and showthat we’re friends,” Gandhi said.

amount of power to be fromclean sources. You define cleanby how much carbon sourcesare used. The chances of thisgetting through, I think, arevery slim.”

The government is muchmore likely to regulate emissionsby legislating a carbon tax,Goldston said.

“The environmental groupsaren’t crazy about a carbon tax,”he said, “The biggest fear thatenvironmental groups have abouta carbon tax is that a side [ofCongress] more skeptical on envi-ronmental issues would basicallysay, ‘We’ll do a carbon tax only ifwe eliminate EPA authority.’”

Goldston said another impor-tant issue dealing with carboninvolves the Keystone XL pipeline,which would transport oil from oilsands in Alberta, Canada downinto the United States.

“The environmental commu-nity sees this as a recipe for boththe further development of tarsands, which are very high car-bon sources of fuel, and for dan-ger for the water along the route.

These tar sandspipelines haveactually a verybad record onleakage,” he said.

But manyRepublicans thinkthe keystonepipeline would bean easy energydecision thatwould create jobsand make energyreadily accessible,Goldston said.

Bob Kopp,associate director

of REI, said the Institute’s semi-nars help inform University stu-dents about the current state ofenergy policies.

“Our goal is to get a focus onenergy and education,” he said,“At Rutgers, we help build link-ages between researchers oncampus and get public outreachon the issues.”

Joe Reilly, a graduate studentin the Edward J. BlousteinSchool of Planning and PublicPolicy, said he frequently attendsthese seminars.

“REI has a lot of interestingspeakers that come,” he said. “Ido a lot of research at Blousteinregarding energy policy and poli-cy evaluation.”

Kopp said the outcome of thisyear’s election would have a posi-tive effect on energy policy.

“I think the president hasbeen very interested in the ener-gy issue,” Kopp said. “His posi-tion on energy was fairly unap-preciated in his first term. Ithink that there is a lot that hecan accomplish.”

Reilly said he his also hopefulfor the future.

“The election results are gen-erally good for energy policy andclimate change, but I think westill have a long way to go beforewe make real progress,” he said.

energy figured prominently inthis election,” he said. “Energy,in terms of ad time and so forth,was second only to the economy.”

Over the course of campaign-ing, Goldston said Gov. MittRomney positioned himself as adefender of the coal and gasindustries, but President BarackObama’s stance of focusing onthe future of renewable energygave him an advantage.

“Voters strongly support andprefer a candidate who says thatthey’ll do something aboutrenewable energy,” saidGoldston, who is also the formerchief of staff of the U.S. HouseCommittee on Science.

The oil and gas industries putsomewhere between $250 and$500 million dollars into adver-tisements on energy issues,Goldston said.

One of the first issuesWashington has to work with inregard to energy policy involvesthe production tax credit, a majortax credit that helps the windindustry amongother renewableenergy plants,Goldston said. Thetax credit willexpire at the endof this year.

“The presidentis in very strongsupport of it,” he said. “One of the things thatCongress willhave to decide iswhether to extendthat tax credit. ...Part of how it willwork out will depend on largertax issues.”

Goldston said the most impor-tant issue regarding energy poli-cy is the outcome of the fiscalcliff — an automatic, across-the-board cut of 8.2 percent that willtake effect Jan. 2nd.

“Spending cuts would runacross all of the energyresearch programs. ... It wouldmean a major reduction inspending on energy research,energy deployment programsand so on,” he said.

The president proposed to give the EnvironmentalProtection Agency the authorityto regulate carbon emissionsfrom new power plants under theClean Air Act, he said. But thisproposal has yet to be finalized.

“Even though the direct cli-mate impact may be limited ...there will be a major battle mostlikely in the Congress aboutwhether to overturn the presi-dential decision,” he said.

Goldston said environmentalgroups’ top priority is to follow upon the final rules on a proposal toregulate emissions from exitingpower plants.

“[A clean energy standard]is something the White Househas talked about before,” hesaid. “You require a certain

ELECTION OFFICALSTO HOST OPEN HEARING

FOR PROVISIONAL BALLOTSThe Board of Elections based

in downtown New Brunswick isscheduled to hold a public hear-ing at its 77 Bayard St. location,offering those who filled out pro-visional ballots a chance todefend their submissions.

The item on the ballot in ques-tion is the municipal question.Those who voted “yes” supportthe idea of New Brunswick hold-ing an election for its schoolboard members, while those whovoted “no” support the currentsystem, in which Mayor JamesCahill appoints board members.

As of election night, “no” votesoutweighed “yes” votes by a slimmargin of 116 votes. After 381absentee ballots were countedWednesday the margin decreasedeven further to 13 votes that keepthe “no” side ahead.

The number of provisionalballots in New Brunswick is notyet determined, James Vokral,Middlesex County Board ofElections Administrator, toldNew Brunswick Today.

Members of both campaignswill make a case for which ballotsshould count, while county vot-ers who cast provisional ballotscan push for their vote to count.

NEW BRUNSWICK VOTERSMOSTLY CHOOSE

DEMOCRATSNew Brunswick voters who

went to the polls on Election Daylargely favor President BarackObama’s re-election, as theincumbent received 8,170 votesto Mitt Romney’s 1,448, accord-ing to the official election resultsfrom the county.

It seems many votedDemocrat down the ballot, asSen. Bob Menendez won his sec-ond term with 7,408 votes toRepublican challenger JoeKyrillos’ 1,267 votes.

Democratic incumbent FrankPallone racked up 7,342 votes inthe congressional race againstopponent Anna Little, a TeaParty member, who received1,360 votes.

Incumbent city council-woman Elizabeth Garlatti won7,345 votes while GlennFleming received 6,800, bothwho were unopposed and re-elected. John Anderson, a citycouncil newcomer, was electedwith 6,943 votes.

The Higher Education BondReferendum also received a lot ofsupport from New Brunswick res-idents, with 5,070 voting in favor.

CITY TO DEMOLISH CHURCHAFTER FIRE

A church in downtown NewBrunswick is set to be demol-ished after a three-alarm fireengulfed the building earlyThursday morning.

The Pentecostal New LifeMinistries Church of God inChrist on Remsen Avenue suf-fered a collapsed roof from thefire, Deputy Fire Chief of the NewBrunswick Fire Department TomLoPardo told Patch.

The NBFD is still investigatingthe cause of the fire, which yieldedheavy smoke from near the rear ofthe church when firefightersresponded about 5 a.m., he said.

No congregants or firefight-ers were injured as a result ofthe fire.

The growth of minority groupslike Hispanics, who now repre-sent 10 percent of voters nation-wide, means the Republican Partyhas to rethink the way it approach-es the changing electoral body,Kopicki said.

“[Republicans] can’t just putup Hispanic or women candi-dates,” she said. “They have tostand by the issues.”

While Kopicki said political com-mentators rightly stress the impor-tance of certain demographicgroups in elections, she thinks theyunderestimate how these portionsof the population view key issues.

RELIEF

“Obama reflected the issuesthat people in these demographicgroups hold dear,” she said. “Yesthe groups are shifting, but it’sbecause of the issues theybelieve in.”

Kopicki said the polls showvoters felt the economy was themost important issue of the 2012elections, with 41 percent ofrespondents labeling economicconditions in the country as “notso good.”

While Obama’s economicpolicies faced constant attacksfrom Romney’s campaign,Kopicki said the nation remainedsplit on the issue. When asked,“Who would better handle theeconomy?” 48 percent of voterschose Obama while 49 percentchose Romney.

Kopicki said health care issueswere a recurring theme through-out his campaign. She saidRomney’s vow to get rid of“Obamacare” was one of the rea-sons he lost the election, as only

25 percent of voters said theywant to repeal the bill.

Later polls also included“breaking news” questions con-cerning the effects of HurricaneSandy on voter opinion, some-thing Kopicki said is done every election.

“[Breaking news questions]are usually to catch any Octobersurprises and this year it wasHurricane Sandy,” she said.

When asked how importantObama’s response to the hurri-cane was in deciding which candi-date they voted for, 64 percent ofvoters said it was a factor in theirdecision, according to an EdisonResearch fact sheet.

Whether or not the hurricanehad a substantial effect on the elec-tion, Kopicki said the RepublicanParty would blame the storm as afactor that led to their loss.

“I think the Republicans willblame it on Sandy,” she said.“They’ll also point to the issuesand the changing demographics

and how that demographic isskewing more liberal with issuessuch as same-sex marriage.”

Karyn Olsen, director ofCommunications at the BlousteinSchool of Planning and PublicPolicy, said the event offered stu-dents better insight into how theelections are determined.

“For a lot of undergraduates,this might be their first presiden-tial election,” Olsen said. “Manypeople now, especially young peo-ple, don’t really look deeply intothe issues. [These events] mightgive them the incentive to lookcloser at the next election.”

James Sinclair, a graduate stu-dent at Bloustein, agreed andsaid more students can benefitfrom the different talks hosted atthe University.

“The [events] are reallyinformative and it’s a good net-working opportunity,” he said. “Alot of people stay after the talkand they give you their businesscard when you meet them.”

“We wanted to just make infor-mation very accessible,” saidGlaser, who headed the mediaaspects of the effort.

Glaser said a group met up inBrower Commons on the CollegeAvenue campus Sunday night tocome up with a plan of action.Shuttles took people to grocerystores on Monday and split thetask of taking students to voteand to buy groceries, she said.

Glaser worked with ElizabethMatto, the coordinator of RUVoting, to split the cost of provid-ing shuttles to bring voters totheir polling locations.

“We’ve been working togethersince August,” Glaser said,adding that the hurricane threw awrench into the planning.

Both Douglass and Cook cam-puses had electricity issues andwere evacuated to Livingstoncampus, while the CollegeAvenue campus was completelyevacuated to Busch campus in anattempt to relocate University stu-dents to areas with power andwater, Glaser said.

Douglass had the most troublegetting power back, Fernandez said.

“Nobody expected it to be thisbad,” he said.

RUSA moved fast to provideresources to students getting backon their feet after the hurricane,coordinating a free meal event forUniversity students while shuttlesbrought displaced students to gro-cery stores to shop for the food,Fernandez said.

“By the end [of the day] wehad over 600 students [at themeal event],” he said.

RUSA President JohnConnelly said that he wasimpressed with his board’s dedi-cation to providing relief and sup-port for University students.

“Over the past two weeksRUSA members have shown anamazing amount of stamina anddetermination,” said Connelly, aSchool of Arts and Sciences senior.

RUSA members raised sup-plies for families being housedon campus during the hurricaneand volunteered their time tohelp, he said.

The Facebook page will stillfeature updates along with anyvolunteer opportunities thatcome up, Glaser said. It will beespecially important in the springwhen people will be able to helpthe rebuilding efforts on theJersey Shore.

“I think we shouldn’t just for-get about this like people tend todo with natural disasters,” Glasersaid. “If you parallel to Katrina,relief work was still being doneyears after that.”

Members will go over in theupcoming weeks what theUniversity could have done betterin planning for the hurricane,Fernandez said.

“The power went out, thelights went out [and] the [resi-dence assistants] did a good jobof being a physical connection tostudents,” he said.

Cucho, a mountain village of cob-blestone streets, where buildingssuffered some cracks and damageand early reports said the familyhad perished in a collapsed house.

Like the rest of several thou-sand people in town, the Vasquezfamily was humble, the parentswithout much education. Most ofthe people in the town are subsis-tence farmers or sell things onthe streets and in the markets.

“We have never seen atragedy like this. The whole townis sad,” said brother RomuloVasquez, whose 12-year old son,Ulises, also died at the quarry.

Justo Vasquez and his wifeleft for work at 5 a.m. Wednesdayto the land they rented to quarrywhite rock that is pulverized to make cinder blocks. Theyreturned later in the morning toeat breakfast, then took six of their seven children and twonephews back to the quarry with them.

The oldest child to die was 14-year-old Daisy Vasquez, theyoungest 3-year-old Dibel Vasquez.

The oldest son, Ivan, was toodistraught to speak or even stayat the red-and-yellow blockhouse where hundreds of peoplegathered passed by the caskets

or waited outsidethe door markedby candles andjust a few flowers.Wood smokebathed the memo-rial as more thana dozen women inthe back of thehouse cookedrice, beans, cornand eggs to feedthe crowd.

“He was a very good father, hewas a very good neighbor,” saidAntonia Lopez, who was amongthe many paying respects.

Guatemalans fearing after-shocks huddled in the streets ofthe nearby city San Marcos, themost affected area, where at least40 people died. Others crowdedinside its hospital, the only build-ing in town left with electricity.

More than 90 rescue workerscontinued to dig with backhoes at ahalf-ton mound of sand at a secondquarry that buried seven people.

“We started rescue work veryearly,” said Julio Cesar Fuentes ofthe municipal fire department.“The objective is our hope to findpeople who were buried.”

But they uncovered only moredead. One man was called to thequarry to identify his dead father.When he climbed into the sand pitand recognized the clothing, the soncollapsed onto the shoulders of fire-fighters, crying: “Papa, Papa, Papa.”

He and his father were notidentified to the news mediabecause other relatives had notbeen notified of the death.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

OLYMPIA, Wash. —Washington state has approvedgay marriage, joining Maine andMaryland as the first states topass same-sex marriage by popu-lar vote.

Voter returns released sinceelection night show Referendum74 has maintained its lead.Opponents conceded the raceyesterday, while supportersdeclared victory a day earlier.

Zach Silk, a spokesman forWashington United for Marriage,called it a “historic day.”

“We have always understoodthat there are good people on theother side of this issue,” he saidin a statement issued yesterday.“Yet, we remain confident thatonce people see how much mar-riage matters to families, theywill realize that the love and com-mitment that marriage embodiesonly strengthens families, neigh-borhoods and communities.”

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN CRISTOBAL CUCHO,Guatemala — The 10 members ofthe Vasquez family were foundtogether under the rubble of therock quarry that had been theirlivelihood, some in a desperatefinal embrace, others clinging tothe faintest of dying pulses.

As Guatemalans sought yester-day to pick up the pieces after a 7.4-magnitude quake, one family’stragic story came to symbolize thehorror of a disaster that killed atleast 52 people, and left thousandsof others huddling in the cold shad-ows of cracked adobe buildings,most without electricity or water.

Neighbors came to pay theirrespects yesterday. They filed past10 wooden caskets in the Vasquezfamily living room, and contem-plated the unspeakable future thatawaits the family’s only survivingson. Justo Vasquez, his wife OfeliaGomez, six children and twonephews died in the rubble.

Only the oldest son, Ivan, 19, sur-vived. He had stayed in the housewhen the rest of his family went tothe quarry, taking care of some last-minute details to receive hisaccounting degree — the first in hisfamily to have a professional career.His father had beensaving for a party to celebrate his Nov.23 graduation.

“He died work-ing,” said AntoniaLopez, a sister-in-lawof Justo Vasquez.“He was fighting forhis kids.”

Hundreds of vil-lagers in the humbletown of SanCristobal Cucho ran to dig the fami-ly out on Wednesday afterGuatemala’s biggest quake in 36years. When they uncovered someof the children, one body still warm,two with pulses, they were in thearms of their father, who had tried toshield them from a falling mountain.

The death toll was expected torise as 22 people remained miss-ing, President Otto Perez Molinatold a news conference. Eightwere killed in the neighboringstate of Quetzaltenango.

Perez said powerful 7.4-magni-tude quake, felt as far as MexicoCity 600 miles away, affected asmany as 1.2 million Guatemalans. Alittle more than 700 people were inshelters, with most opting to staywith family or friends, he added.

“They have no drinking water,no electricity, no communicationand are in danger of experiencingmore aftershocks,” Perez said.The president said there hadbeen 70 aftershocks in the first 24hours after the quake, some asstrong as magnitude 5.1.

Damaged homes are amongthe biggest problems the countrywill face in the coming days,Perez added.

the District of Columbia alreadyallowed gay marriage. ButMaryland, Maine and Washingtonare the first to enact it by publicvote. The other states’ laws wereenacted either by lawmakers orcourt rulings.

Preserve MarriageWashington issued a statementyesterday saying that while itsmembers were disappointed withthe results, they “will continue toeducate citizens and policymak-ers on the timeless truth that realmarriage is the union of one manand one woman.”

“We are disappointed in los-ing a tough election battle onmarriage by a narrow margin,”said Joseph Backholm, the cam-paign chairman.

Backholm blamed several fac-tors, saying Washington is a“deep blue state.”

“The election results reflectthe political and funding advan-tages our opponents enjoyed inthis very liberal and secularstate,” he wrote. “The resultsshow only that in a deep bluestate, with a huge financial advan-tage, gay marriage activists canwin — barely.”

About $13.6 million wasspent on the initiative inWashington state, with the bulkof it coming from gay marriagesupporters. Washington Unitedfor Marriage far outraised itsopponents, bringing in morethan $12 million, includingdonations from big names likeAmazon.com CEO Jeff Bezos,Microsoft Corp. co-founder BillGates and New York MayorMichael Bloomberg. Opponentsof gay marriage raised just $2.7 million.

Many supporters started cel-ebrating early, taking to thestreets in a Seattle neighbor-hood and cheering at electionwatch parties Tuesday night asearly results showed the referen-dum taking a narrow lead. Policeclosed off several blocks inSeattle’s Capitol Hill area asmore than 1,000 people gatheredfor a late-night, impromptu elec-tion celebration, dancing andchanting “74, 74, 74.”

Gay couples in Washingtoncould start picking up their mar-riage certificates and licensesfrom county auditor of fices Dec. 6, a day after the election iscertified. However, becauseWashington has a three-daywaiting period, the earliest acertificate could be signed,making the marriage valid, isDec. 9.

The law doesn’t require reli-gious organizations or churchesto perform marriages, and itdoesn’t subject churches topenalties if they don’t marry gayor lesbian couples.

The road to gay marriage inWashington state began severalyears ago.

A year after Washington’sgay marriage ban was upheld bythe state Supreme Court, thestate’s first domestic partner-ship law passed in 2007. Thatlaw granted couples about two-dozen rights, including hospitalvisitation and inheritance rightswhen there is no will. It wasexpanded a year later, and thenagain in 2009, when lawmakerscompleted the package with theso-called “everything but mar-riage” bill. Voters upheld the billlater that year.

Despite all of the destructionSandy left behind, relief effortshave been happening all over cam-pus. Greek life, the RutgersUniversity Student Assembly,University Athletics and the Student

Volunteer Council have all organized ways to raisemoney to help those affected by the hurricane. Fromserving hot meals to those without power, to volun-teering at local shelters, to designing and selling T-shirts, we laurel all of the efforts University studentshave made to help our region.

This morning, The FreshGrocer opened its doors for thefirst time, bringing a new full-serv-ice supermarket to NewBrunswick. The 50,000-square-footstore — located at 100 KirkpatrickStreet in the New Brunswick

Wellness Plaza — offers everything from fresh pro-duce to grab-and-go items. This is good because it’san alternative to the only other full-fledged grocerystore within reasonable walking distance of campus,Bravo — formerly the notoriously sketchy, shop-at-your-own-risk C-Town. This new 24/7 grocery storeearns a laurel.

New Jerseyans just can’t catch abreak. After battling 30 to 90 MPHwinds last week, residents acrossthe state were forced to sloshthrough the wet snow Wednesdaynight during Winter Storm Athena.The nor’easter came at a time whenmany were still without power and

heat following Hurricane Sandy. Now, we love the snowand all, but not when some of us are still burning can-dles and running our residences off generators.Winter Storm Athena gets a dart.

How do you think the Universityhandled the passing of

Hurricane Sandy and its effects?

After a short bye, the ScarletKnights football team is back in it.Rutgers plays Army at High PointSolutions Stadium on Saturday, andhas a bit of catching up to do. TheKnights lost, as most of us know,

against Kent State two weeks ago duringHomecoming. The loss was slightly disappointing, butwe still have faith. A laurel to the Knights for theirupcoming game. Make us shine.

There’s hope again for NewBrunswick’s public music scene.The Court Tavern, the city’sbeloved bar and music venue,reopened this week with a showsponsored by Red Bull after closing

in January. The grand opening featured notable localbands like The Scandals, Gates and Samiam. With amakeover including a new bar and VIP room, the divemay have lost some of its gritty charm — but as longas it’s up and running again, that’s OK with us. We lau-rel the re-opening of the Court.

At the end of Thursday’s morn-ing practice, the Scarlet Knightsfootball team received a specialdelivery from a University alum-nus. An American flag that previ-ously flew over an Army headquar-

ters in Afghanistan was sent to the team from MajorRobert Movshin, who is currently serving in the117th Combat Sustainment Support Battalion inAfghanistan. The flag was delivered by Movshin’swife Diane, also a Rutgers graduate, along with Lt.Col. Sam Welch and Master Sgt. Shiloh Butterworth.Before each game for the rest of the year, the teamwill run out of the stadium tunnel with this flag andhonoring all of those serving our country. For that wegive them a laurel.

kitchen table in my home, I dialed eachone of my friends by candlelight andwas initially able to get through to onlythose with copper landlines like me.

With the constant bombardment bycable companies to conver t to lessexpensive VoIP phones bundled withour cable modems and routers, we don’timmediately think thatthese 21st centur ymachinations are ren-dered completely use-less during extendedpower failures.Combine that with asevered under waterfiber line or a floodednetwork operationscenter, and now youhave an entire region completely dis-connected from the rest of the world.Need to dial 911 for an emergency? Youwon’t be able to. Meanwhile, the coppertelephone system, being more than acentury old, has layers upon layers ofbackup. Powered by banks of batteries,a 48-volt signal over a twisted pair ofcopper wires is all that is needed tohave the sweet voices of loved ones sentfrom point A to point B. Telephone loop-

back switches and central exchangesthat are already in existence have natu-rally been fortified for decades. No mat-ter how robust Internet networks everbecome, the simple fact of the matter isthat this seemingly outdated system isamazingly simple and far less complex than any cable modem or

fiber-optic connection in existence.

Some have jumpedthe landline ship com-pletely and argue thatcellphones are a per-fectly acceptable sub-stitute, since it willwork when the powergoes out. However, aswe have been shown

time and time again, cellphone net-works are frightfully unreliable whenbombarded with heavy traf fic ordowned infrastructure. Cellphonescould not handle the call volume of NewYorkers that fateful day eleven yearsago in September. Seven years ago dur-ing the month of August, cellphoneswere rendered useless in the GulfCoast. Every New Year’s Eve, text mes-sages arrive hours late.

This does not mean that cellphones,IP networks and fiber infrastructurecannot be improved to one day hopeful-ly reach the reliability and robustnessof POTS. Just this week, AT&Tannounced its plans to greatly improveits high-speed wireless broadband net-work, mostly in an ef fort to cover ruralAmerica. Included in that plan is to shutdown all the copper networks andreplace it with fiber wherever possible.While it is laudable that rural Americamay finally be brought into the high-speed Internet age, there is no way thatin even 10 or 20 years such a networkwould reach the reliability of today’scopper landlines for simple voice com-munication. If copper landlines areeradicated, we actually have nothingleft when all of our fancy tech toys fail.

So think twice before dropping yourplain old telephone service. It could beyour lifeline when the next disaster strikes.

Football isn’t the only sport whereinjuries occur. Our baseball team lastseason suffered a blow to its lineup.Even our soccer team’s J.P. Correa suf-fered a hip injury. And there are count-less others that occur in college sportsas well as professional sports. Thesethings are going to happen regardless ofhow many pads, helmets or shin guardsa player wears. It’s the nature of sports.If you’re not injured at all, you just hap-pen to be one of the lucky few, but seri-ous injuries aren’t asfrequent. By serious Imean death, paralysisor an end to your play-ing days. AcrossAmerica, there arethousands of collegeathletes and out ofthose thousands thereare much less whoincur what I consider to be a seriousinjury.

As children, many members of ourfootball team probably played the gamewith their friends in the park, backyardor even sometimes in the street, and I’msure there were injuries. Should we tellchildren they shouldn’t play gamesbecause they may get hurt? I’m not say-

ing that children playing football is thesame as 250-pound men playing football.I’m saying that in either case there issome kind of hazard involved. Childrenmay not be as big as college players, butthey can still cause harm to each otherand bones can be broken. Even withoutplaying football, children get seriouslyinjured, so apparently all childrenshould live in a bubble if we go by theopponents of the game.

We can probably all agree that foot-ball can be a fiercesport, but it isn’t eventhe most violent ofspor ts. Boxing, ulti-mate fighting, mixedmartial arts and evenrugby take that title.These are some of thebloodiest and mostviolent spor ts there

are. There are probably just as manyinjuries sustained in these sports, if notmore. Sometimes the long-term damageis worse than the immediate. Some box-ers face severe brain dysfunctions anddamage to their hands as a result offighting. MMA fighters often suf ferfrom brain damage. So if football is tobe banned, does that mean boxing,

MMA, etc. should be too? Or any sportthat causes injury? I guess there wouldbe nothing but golf and bowling, whichapparently has become a sport.

I played softball in high school and anumber of girls on my team sustainedsome kind of injury, including myself. Isprained my ankle during one of ourgames after colliding into the catcher. Iwas out for a little while and during thattime, never once did I think, “this sportis more dangerous than I thought, theyprobably should get rid of it.” All I couldthink about was healing so that I couldget back on the field. I enjoyed playingsoftball and couldn’t imagine doing any-thing else. Even after my injury, I neverthought once about whether I would getinjured again. I was too busy doing whatI cared and trying to win the game. Thisis probably the same thing that goes onin the minds of football players. It’s notwhether they are going to get hurt thatthey are concerned with. It’s enjoyingwhat they do and being concerned overwhether the next touchdown scored willbe their winning one.

A crisis hits, and the first thing todo is contact loved ones imme-diately. But anyone who was in

T he season hadn’t even begun andthe Rutgers football team alreadyhad its first injury. An ankle injury

during training camp would leave PaulCarrezola on the sidelines. Betim Bujariwas injured during the University’s homeopener against Howard University a weeklater. And who can forget the most notableinjury at Rutgers, the serious injury EricLeGrand suffered two years ago. The listgoes on and on. This brings up the ques-tion: Should college football be banned?

Not at all. There are some opponents ofcollege football who believe it is danger-ous, that it adds no monetary value to thecollege or university, diminishes from acollege’s mission of quality education andit’s violent. Is it violent and dangerous?Hell yeah. But college players go into thissport knowing the risks involved. Ifthey’re willing to take that risk, what busi-ness is it of anyone else’s? They play forlove of the sport and isn’t that the thingthat matters the most?

“I think when you talk about suc-cess against the option teams, whatyou’re trying to do is limit them toless than three-and-a-half yards acarry,” said head coach Kyle Flood.“If you don’t, they’re going to getfirst downs. I think that’s how defen-sive coaches would judge it.”

The common word heardthroughout the Rutgers (7-1)camp is discipline. It is aware ofhow disciplined Army is andbelieves it must match that toclaim a bounce-back victory.

Typically the Knights planto throw opponents of f theirgame plans and take advantageof the unfamiliarity.

This time around, even beforethe opening kickoff, the tablescould turn.

“We’re still going to be tough,we’re still going to be physical,we’re still going to be fast,” saidsophomore safety LorenzoWaters. “That never changes. Butas far as scheme, the wholescheme changes and we just haveto adjust to their triple option.”

One thing that does not changeis Rutgers’ focus on turnovers. Itleads the Big East in interceptions,and Flood highlighted takeawaysas one of the few ways to combatArmy’s triple option offense.

The Knights are aware thatalthough Army, which leads thenation in rushing yards, tradition-ally keeps the ball on the ground,it still has the potential to turn theball over.

“The ball is in the air whilethey’re pitching it, so there’s a highchance for ball to be on theground,” said senior linebackerSteve Beauharnais. “They do itvery well, obviously. They’ve hadsuccess doing it, but the ball is inthe air. Opportunities for turnoversare off the wall this week.”

One thing Rutgers has in itsfavor is its style of defense. Notonly is it one of the best run stop-pers in the nation, but it pridesitself on integrating all 11 playersinto the rushing defense, includ-ing the secondary.

“We know [the defensivebacks] have to be run fitters,”Harmon said, “and at the end ofthe day, we have to do our job onthe pass, as well.”

The triple option gives thesecondary an extremely difficultgame. With so much running,the possibility for problems in thesecondary rises, and it can beburnt by one of the few passplays the Black Knights run.

Harmon said that is where dis-cipline comes in.

“We know on the outside, at thecorners and the safety position, wecan’t fall asleep on the pass gamebecause we know they live for thoseone or two big pass plays,” he said.

Waters believes there is avery simple solution to that issue.

“We all know what kind of gameit’s going to be,” he said. “It’s goingto be a physical, tough game. Theylike to run the ball, so we’re goingto have to bring it every play.”

Punter attempts to avoid self-inflicted errorsBY JOSH BAKAN

ASSOCIATE SPORTS EDITOR

Justin Doerner joined theRutgers football team last year asa transfer who put pressure onhimself to prove his worth.

The senior punter did thesame this season as he tried toplay up to last year’s level, whenhe finished as an All-Big EastSecond Team performer.

After several muffed puntsearly in the season, the LosAngeles Harbor Junior Collegetransfer decided it would be bestto forget about the pressure.

“I kind of tried to top [my suc-cess last year],” Doerner said.“It’s my last year. [I was] tryingto finish out with a bang. Allkinds of little stuff like that just[affected me], but mainly justthat it’s my last year, trying toreally show out.”

Doerner sits seventh in theBig East with 39.1 yards perpunt, which is a small drop-offfrom last season. But theRedondo Beach, Calif., nativeimproved lately.

His early slump culminatedSept. 13 at South Florida, whenhe put up 22- and 24-yard punts inthe second quarter.

Unlike most positions,Doerner gets few snaps to provehimself and lots of time to thinkabout his mistakes.

“I kind of just try to go out onthe field with a clear head — justcatch, step, kick the ball,”

defensive starters, includingGreene, play a part in it.

The field position Doerner andwhoever kicks off — whether it isfreshman Kyle Federico or red-shirt freshman Anthony DiPaula— create will play a key roletomorrow in pushing back Army’sunique offense from the end zone.

“If we can execute on offensewith long drives, if we can executeon defense with leaving the field, ifwe can execute on special teams,we should have [success],” saidhead coach Kyle Flood.

Special teams can also make itmore difficult for Rutgers’offense to produce, as Kent Statepunter Anthony Melchiori pinnedthe Knights three times insidetheir 20-yard line.

Temple’s Brandon McManus,the leading punter in the BigEast, put Rutgers in that positionfour times Oct. 20, including a 68-yard punt that left the Knights attheir 6-yard line.

If Doerner makes anothermistake against the BlackKnights, the most he can do isignore how far it went.

“Once you get caught up in allthe numbers and the kind of stuff,it kind of drives you crazy,” hesaid. “I peek [at the stats] everyonce in a while, but for the mostpart, I try not to pay attention tothat stuff.”

For updates on the Rutgers foot-ball team, follow Josh Bakan onTwitter @JBakanTargum.

Doerner said. “Once I’m out onthe field, I try not to think aboutthe little stuff.”

Then Doerner’s strugglessnuck up on him again Oct. 27against Kent State, when he aver-aged 34 yards per punt.

Luckily for the ScarletKnights, only one of Doerner’sfour punts — three of which wentfor 36 yards or less — resulted inany Golden Flashes scores.

Because Doerner’s puntshelp determine the opposingoffense’s field position, seniorlinebacker Khaseem Greenelooks at Doerner as the first lineof defense.

“When he goes out there, hedoes what he has to do andputs us in a position wherewe’re favored to stop anoffense if they have to go along field or they have to playagainst that rowdy student sec-tion,” Greene said.

Even though Doerner playssuch a pivotal role, his positionrarely receives attention.

Knights get last chance to impact yearBY AARON FARRAR

CORRESPONDENT

After competing in 29 match-es and clinching its best seasonsince 2000, the Rutgers volleyballteam wraps up its year this week-end in a matinee finale at DePaul.

The Scarlet Knights (18-11, 4-10) face the Blue Demons (8-18,3-10) on Sunday for the secondtime in a little more than a week.Rutgers defeated DePaul in fivegames Nov. 3 and hopes to repli-cate that result.

“We have to recognize whatwe did well against them” saidhead coach CJ Werneke. “We

Eighteen wins is already a season high for the Knights under head coach CJ Werneke. Rutgershas not won that many games in a year since 2000. CONOR ALWELL, STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER

“There’s no doubt that it wasa disappointing loss,” Wernekesaid. “It was our last homematch of the season and for ourseniors. But I was pretty pleasedwith the level of play we had, justnot with the result of the loss. Alot of times we talk about, ‘Let’sfocus on the quality of play.’Although the results were disap-pointing, the quality of play waspretty high, and I was excitedabout that.”

Rutgers falling to St. John’swas especially difficult to take forthe seniors who hoped to endtheir home careers with a victoryin front of those who supportedthem for four years. But they putit behind them and adopted apositive attitude as they preparefor their final match.

“I’m really excited to play the[last] game with our team,” saidsenior setter Stephanie Zielinski.“I think I’ve had a great experi-ence here, and I don’t regret any-thing. I’m going to be upset thatI’m leaving, but I’m really happyto have all of the memories that Igot while I was here and all of theexperiences and to meet all thesegreat people within the athleticdepartment, on my team and tomake great friends.”

The Knights have moved upin the winning column each yearsince Werneke has taken over.Rutgers hopes to make a state-ment to close out the year to con-tinue his message that the seasonwas not a total disappointment.

“It’s the most successful yearsince 2000, the first winning sea-son since I’ve been here and thefirst winning season for the sen-iors,” Werneke said, “so it’s beena good year and I don’t want us tolose sight of that. But the year isnot done yet. Once we finish theseason, we’ll sit back and have alittle bit more understanding ofour achievements and [what] weneed to move forward.”

also have to recognize whatthey did well against us to mini-mize those things and maxi-mize our side of the court. Thegoal is improvement. That’s thegoal — to win, one, andimprove, second.”

Werneke knows DePaul willtake on Rutgers with vengeance.The previous contest was com-petitive through the fifth set,and he expects another hard-fought match.

“We have to want it a littlebit more,” Werneke said. “Wehave to execute in criticalmoments. It’s always tough tobeat a team the second time

around, especially when youhave to do it on their homecourt. So we know that we’re infor a challenge, and we’regoing to see how we respond tothat challenge.”

Rutgers is coming off of atough 3-1 loss Wednesday nightagainst St. John’s. The Red Stormcruised past the Knights andshattered any of Rutgers’ linger-ing postseason hopes.

Although the Knightsclinched a winning record andtheir most conference victoriesunder Werneke, the goal of get-ting to the Big East Tournamentdid not materialize.

first taste at team action.Rinaldi believes this year’s

version of the Knights is better prepared.

“We all feel pretty good aboutit, and we are all managing ourweight well, which is a big thing,”Rinaldi said. “I think we are doinga lot better with our weights thisyear and recovering our bodies.We are doing it smart this year.”

And while it would be ideal toease into things, senior 157-pounder Scott Winston gets nofavors from his opponent.

Clarion 157-pounder JamesFleming went 33-4 last seasonand comes attached with All-American recognition next to hisname after placing fifth at theNCAA Championships.

“It’s a big match for me,”Winston said. “So I have to step upand put a statement right off theback [of] Week 2 of the season.”

Head coach Scott Goodalesees similar challengesWinston faces in Clarion as awhole. Goodale wrestledagainst Clarion in his days as a varsity wrestler at LockHaven (Pa.).

“Clarion, they’re Pennsylvaniaboys, so they’ll be good on themat,” Goodale said. “They aretough kids, hard-nosed kids andhard country. All they did grow-ing up was wrestle.”

The Knights are at fullstrength against the GoldenEagles, as both senior 125-pounder Joe Langel and sopho-more 165-pounder AnthonyVolpe return after being held outwith injuries.

Langel, an NCAA qualifier in2011, gives Rutgers a veteran at125 pounds, where freshmanSean McCabe saw time this sea-son in a starting capacity.

Goodale said besides decidingon whether he will put in Volpe inplace of sophomore Nick Visicaro,the only weight class he was unsureof for Sunday was at 133 pounds.

Junior Vincent Dellefave andfreshman Maverick Passaro havefailed to pull away from one another.

“Other than those two [class-es], we are pretty much set,”Goodale said.

Goodale is also set at 184pounds, a position Rinaldi took over.

The last time Rinaldi wrestledat 184 pounds was 2011, when hequalified for his second NCAAChampionships and posted a 24-10 record.

But as far as expectations areconcerned, he has no predictionsfor what is to come in his finalcampaign for the Knights.

“I’ll let you know in March,”Rinaldi said. “But I think I’mgoing to be alright.”

Things have been hectic latelyfor Glenn Crooks.

Not only did the Rutgers headwomen’s soccer coach have todeal with his team being on thebubble of the NCAATournament, but the aftermath ofHurricane Sandy gave him andthe team extra worries.

Crooks said a couple of hisplayers’ families, including start-ing freshman defender MaggieMorash’s, were still withoutpower as of Wednesday.

The surrounding circum-stances, Crooks admits, makes ithard to keep things in perspective.

“It has been such a crazy timewith the uncertainty of whether wewere going to get in coupled withthe hurricane and the number ofdays off,” Crooks said, “so I think itis important to really keep theirfocus and just worrying about us.”

All things aside, the focusmust now shift to the ScarletKnights’ first-round NCAATournament game tomorrow.

The Knights play at Colgate,a team resembling aConnecticut squad that gaveRutgers trouble two weeks agoin the Big East Tournament.

UConn rattled off 22 shots its3-1 victory against the Knights,something senior defenderTricia DiPaolo knows cannothappen again.

“We weren’t our best in theUConn game, and we know that,”DiPaolo said. “We want to focuson not being content making thetournament and want to do wellin the tournament.”

She played in Rutgers’ lastNCAA Tournament appearance.

Only three Knights on the ros-ter — DiPaolo, senior goalkeeperEmmy Simpkins and senior mid-fielder Maura McLaughlin — cansay so.

So when ever yone takes the field and the importance sets in, they look up to the co-captain.

“In our meetings, we talkedabout how things can be really

nerve racking going into thesetournaments,” DiPaolo said.“So I think it’s good that wehave players with experience tobe able to calm [ever yone]down and help them out if they have anxiety before the game.”

Besides its 1-0 victory againstNavy in the Patriot LeagueChampionship game, Colgate’sattacking style — featuring thePatriot League’s first- and second-leading scorers in forwards JillianKinter and Catherine Williams with14 and 11, respectively — is whatCrooks is most worried about.

“I think they’re really good,”Crooks said. “They can control thegame and have really good athletesup front so they can score quickly.... They are going to be a difficultteam to defend because they get alot of people forward and hopefullythe chances we get are hopefullyenough to overcome that.”

If the Knights are going toconvert on those chances, it ismost likely off the foot of juniorforward Jonelle Filigno.

The Mississauga, Canada,native leads Rutgers with 14goals this season and looks topush the ball upfront early tokeep Colgate attentive.

“It is very important as soon asthat whistle blows for us to get outthere and for us to set the tone ofthe game,” Filigno said. “I think ourbiggest problems have come whenwe have not done that right fromthe beginning, and we haven’t beenable to come back from that.”

Not only does Filigno bring herknack of finding the back of the netto Hamilton, N.Y., but her experi-ence with the Canadian NationalTeam can only benefit Rutgers,which has not seen action in theNCAA Tournament since 2009.

The All-Big East First Teamselection has 42 caps with hernational team, including a bronzemedal in this summer’s Olympics.

Filigno acknowledges the dis-tinction at the international andcollegiate levels, but the similari-ties in importance is somethingshe is used to.

Senior Dan Rinaldi walked out of theSalem Civic Center last Sunday with a 4-0record in the Hokie Open, and as the top 184-pounder in his field.

But the Lodi, N.J., native felt he couldhave done better.

“Personally, I didn’t wrestle my best at theHokie Open,” Rinaldi said. “But to be able to winwhen you’re not at your best, it’s a big thing.”

Rinaldi also feels that way about his per-formance in March, when — at 197 pounds— he compiled a 1-2 record at last year’sNCAA Championships.

But the excitement the beginning of theyear presents is something he thinks willyield him better results.

“I’ve been waiting for this since lastMarch,” Rinaldi said. “To get back on the matand get back on the right foot after a disap-pointing March, it is going to be fun.”

While the Hokie Open was the Rutgerswrestling team’s first competition of the sea-son, Sunday’s dual meet against Clarion at theCollege Avenue Gym is the Scarlet Knights’

Even if they had not, it is obvious what theBlack Knights are built on.

“A lot of running the football. That’s whatthey do. That’s what they want to do,” saidsenior safety Duron Harmon. “But runningthe ball so much, they’ll catch you sleepingand they get a big play in the pass game.That’s how their offense works: a lot of run-ning and a couple big plays in the pass game.”

That gives Army (2-7) two ways to defeatits opponent, and both of their wins this sea-son put that on display.

In its first victory, Boston College allowed516 rushing yards, Army’s highest output of theseason. And in the Black Knights’ latest winagainst Air Force, they picked up a 53-yard pass-
