Trust fund to support LeGrand familyBY STEVEN MILLER

SPORTS EDITOR

PITTSBURGH — Rutgers footballplayer Eric LeGrand received an out-pouring of support at the grassrootslevel in the week after becoming par-alyzed from the neck down.

Athletic Director Tim Pernettiannounced Friday the formation ofthe “Eric LeGrand Believe Fund” — atrust that gives anyone interested insupporting LeGrand, a School of Artsand Sciences junior, and his family anopportunity to do so.

“Because of the outpouring of sup-port, I think people are anxious to

know what they can do and wherethey can direct it,” Pernetti said. “Iwould expect there would be quite abit of support for this.”

The trust was formed in conjunc-tion with PNC Wealth Management,and all donations, which are not taxdeductible, will go directly to theLeGrand family.

The trust allows the LeGrand fam-ily to use the funds at its own discre-tion so it can cover medical bills orneeds the family may have due toLeGrand’s injury, which he sufferedmaking a tackle Oct. 16 against Army.

“I think the LeGrand family did aterrific job in how they set this thing

up, because it allows them the mostflexibility in dispersing funds for bothEric’s recovery and their familyneeds,” Pernetti said.

While Pernetti’s announcement,which the NCAA allowed, moved thefund to the forefront of visibility andis the means through which theLeGrand family will accept directdonations, there are also otherfundraising efforts throughout theUniversity community.

School of Arts and Sciences jun-ior Erica Bowden started a projectthat will sell red and black

The University is set to begin construction of theLivingston housing project today.

Parking lots around Livingston campus will most likelybe closed due to construction, said Gregory S. Blimling,vice president for student affairs.

The 650,000-square-foot project will include 25,000square feet of retail space on the first level and apartment-style living for 1,500 students.

“It’s the single largest project the University has evertaken on,” Blimling said.

He said the project is not only beneficial for theUniversity but for the local job market as well.

“At the peak of this, there can be as many as 400 peopleon that job,” Blimling said.

The Livingston Dining Commons — a 58,000-square-foot, multi-story dining facility — is also underway. The$30.5 million project is scheduled for completion in2011 and will be located adjacent to the LivingstonStudent Center.

The new Livingston Student Center, LivingstonDining Commons and student housing are all part of theUniversity’s “Vision for Livingston Campus,” a $20-mil-lion project.

Campus walks to raise domestic violence awarenessBY LUCIE LOZINSKI

CONTRIBUTING WRITER

In remembrance of KrystalSkinner, a Rutgers-Camden sen-ior murdered by her boyfriendin 2008, the UndergraduateSocial Workers Organizationand the Henderson ApartmentBoard hosted a series of eventson Saturday to raise awarenessand funds for a scholarship inher name.

“Basically our goal was, as a[resident assistant] staf f, wereally wanted to show the ladiesof Henderson that they canmake a difference and bring thiscritical issue to attention,” saidJulia Freire, an apartment assis-tant at Henderson, which is onDouglass campus.

The School of Social Work andthe USWO started an annual 5Kwalk to raise money for the

Krystal Skinner MemorialScholarship Fund, USWOPresident Toni Kiger said. Thescholarship will allow more stu-dents to achieve their goals insocial work and justice, she said.

The USWO raised $6,300Saturday, and funds continue tocome in, said Kiger, a School ofArts and Sciences senior. In thepast year and a half, the organiza-tion has raised just under $40,000at walks they hosted in Camdenand New Brunswick.

“We started [the walk] to notonly have a scholarship in hername, but to promote socialissues surrounding domesticviolence at the same time,”Kiger said.

About 150 people came to thewalk, which took participantsdown College Avenue, throughVoorhees Mall and back upCollege Avenue. About 200 peo-

ple, including residents fromHenderson Apartments onDouglass campus, attended theday’s events, she said.

Kiger said she and the othermembers of USWO were excitedabout the event’s turnout.

“We’re a really close-knitorganization, so it was fun andreally awesome to see the sup-port,” she said.

Students from Camden whowanted to help or participate trav-eled by bus to New Brunswick,she said.

Daniale Simmons, a School ofArts and Sciences junior, said sheparticipated in the walk to sup-port the apartment assistants’work and the scholarship fund.

“The most important thing I’lltake from today is that it’s neverthe victim’s fault,” she said.

Following the walk was a per-formance by Scream Theater, an

educational improvisation groupon campus, which was Simmons’favorite part of the day.

“The Scream Theater per-formance touched on issues wedon’t articulate or necessarilynotice,” she said. “It focused onthe idea that if you’re not a partof the solution, you’re part ofthe cause.”

Simmons said she also tookdomestic violence prevention tipsfrom the performance.

“There was a lot of promo-tion, [like] information aboutcounseling on campus or peopleto call if you or someone youknow is in a domestic violencesituation,” she said.

She hopes the event makes stu-dents more aware of support serv-ices available at the University.

“I hope that the walk andday dedicated to Krystal openup students’ eyes to the prob-

lems that occur and show themthat there are resources oncampus if they need them,”Simmons said.

Freire also said she learnedtips about preventing domesticviolence in real life.

“The experience was reallyrewarding,” Freire said.

Henderson residents andguests gathered at night for ascreening of the 1991 thriller“Sleeping with the Enemy,” dur-ing which viewers proved knowl-edge of lessons learned duringthe day’s activities by shoutingcomments and advice to the vic-timized main character.

Freire said although Skinner’sdeath was tragic, the day’s eventsbrought hope.

“It is a sad situation,” she said.“But you saw her family there sofilled with hope that other peoplewould be able to prevent it.”

Thousands of students in New Jersey are injeopardy of losing state tuition grants and scholar-ship money for the fall semester, according to annj.com article.

Because of a new one-page financial aid formrequired by the state, 49,000 students may lose thismoney if the page is not turned in by the Nov. 15 dead-line, according to the article.

For low-income students, this could mean a lossranging from $100 to $10,000 in grant or scholar-ship money.

The Higher Education Student AssistanceAuthority is in the process of gathering the informa-tion from these students as quickly as possible

because of the quickly approaching deadline, accord-ing to the article.

“Students required to report the additional informa-tion were sent numerous e-mail notifications, mailedletters and more than 85,000 calls were made to thosewho failed to respond,” said AnnMarie Bouse, spokes-woman for HESAA, in the article.

HESAA also opened more phone lines and expandedits hours to help those families who did not provide theinformation through the online application, Bouse said.

This is the first year students are required to fill outadditional financial information in order to receiveTuition Aid Grants or NJ STARS scholarships, accord-ing to the article.

The state said of the 276,000 college students askedto fill out the additional financial information, nearly227,000 have responded, according to the article.

But HESAA said they are not sure how many of theremaining 49,000 are enrolled in college and actuallyneed the financial aid, according to the article.

“It is important to note that historically, approxi-mately 10 percent of applications remain incom-plete throughout the academic year,” Bouse said inthe article.

Students who do not respond by March 15 will alsolose their state tuition grants or scholarships for thespring semester, according to the article.

49K STUDENTS MAY LOSE FINANCIAL AID GRANTS, SCHOLARSHIPS

Alumnus Ken Schmidt, whowas unable to attend the awardsceremony, was the recipient ofthe Old Queen’s Tribute Award.

“At Rutgers I received somuch more than a great academ-ic education,” Schmidt saidthrough a video recording. “Ilearned so much about life, muchof which served me so well lateron. When I needed Rutgers,Rutgers was there for me.”

Schmidt said as a way to payback the University for all the greatthings he achieved or received, hejoined the Dean’s AdvisoryCouncil for Rutgers College andserved on the Board of Overseersfor a number of years.

He is also finishing up histhree-year term as chair, and iscurrently serving his secondterm on the Board of Trustees asvice chair.

Carol Herring, president of theRutgers University Foundationand whom Schmidt referred to ashis “partner-in-crime from theFoundation,” received the awardon Schmidt’s behalf.

“He was a terrific chair, sup-portive and thoughtful, a greatsounding board for ideas, and agreat source of ideas and one ofthe best problem solvers I haveever worked with,” she said.

Alumni William Bauer and hiswife, Barbara Bauer, were bothawarded the Walter H. SewardRutgers for Life Award.

“You’re applauding becauseyou’re surprised I can get up

here,” WilliamBauer said inresponse to astanding ovation.

The theme ofWilliam Bauer’sspeech was “everchanging, yet eter-nally the same,”which he used as atransition to makesome observa-tions about howthe Universitychanged during

his 72 years of service. “Rutgers is now a large and

important research university, its[more than] $400 million in sup-port is evidence of its excellentreputation … but it’s also abouthigh-quality people [who] areinvolved in making Rutgers agreat university,” he said.

Barbara Bauer said she washonored and happy to be invitedto share the award with her hus-band. She added their mutuallove for University athletics waswhat they considered the bestand most appropriate way toexpress their devotion andthanks to the University.

“Our assistance comes in theform of scholarship funds and thefinancial support of new athleticfacilities,” she said. “The trainingrehabilitation center bears ourname and we are very proud thatit does.”

Alumnus Floyd Bragg, the2009 winner of the Walter H.Seward Award, said the recipi-ents did very well and were wor-thy of their awards.

“I think this is promising forthe future because this is goingto inspire a lot of people to try toachieve the awards themselves,”he said.

Alumnus Charles “Chip”Churchill and winner of theevening’s Block R Award said it isevents like this that make himproud to be part of the University.

“[The University is] such agreat learning and research insti-tution that we take so much pridein being alumni and supportingthe Alumni Association,” he said.“We want the RUAA to succeed,be successful, and they certainlyare moving forward.”

award, the Richard P. McCormickAward, in honor of his father, whowas a University faculty memberfor 40 years and served later asdean of Rutgers College.

“I am really touched that theRutgers University AlumniAssociation has chosen to honormy father in this most meaning-ful of ways by naming an awardfor him that recognizes a dean orfaculty member who has givenoutstanding service to the alum-ni of Rutgers,” McCormick said.

Alumna Linda Stamatoreceived the Richard P.McCormick award and said shewas elated and humbled for beingchosen as the first recipient.

“I knew Richard P.McCormick, and I worked withhim during the last few years ofhis life on the Task Force onUndergraduate Education. Hewas a stellar, wonderful guy,”said Stamato, co-director of theCenter for Negotiation andConflict Resolution at theEdward J. Bloustein School ofPlanning and Public Policy. “Ifeel quite moved that I was cho-sen and that I am here tonight toreceive it.”

Alumnus Tyler Richendollarreceived the Rutgers Spirit Award,which honorsexemplary volun-teer service by analumnus or alumnawho graduatedwithin the past fivey e a r s .Richendollar, whograduated in 2006,was one of threealumni whoreceived theaward.

“It’s enlighten-ing to know that[the University]really cares about their alumniand that they’re willing to honorsomebody who’s only 26 yearsold. I find that to be really won-derful,” he said. “I’m glad thatthey think I reflect or representalumni spirit.”

One of the winners for theErnest E. McMahon Awardwas the Rutgers UniversityFood Science AlumniCommittee, which was repre-sented by alumni MukundKanwe and Laura Rokosz. Theaward honors an alumni eventor program displaying creativeprogramming excellence.

Kanwe said their event,“ReConnect with Rutgers FoodScience,” had a fantasticresponse in April, which wasdue to the committee who putthe event together.

Steve Ostergren, manager ofthe apparel store Scarlet Fever, isalso leading a fundraising effortby selling LeGrand shirts at hisSomerset Street store.

The store is selling two shirts:a red one with LeGrand’s No. 52on the front and back with “KeepChopping” above the back num-bers and a white one withLeGrand’s No. 52 and the word“Believe” — the mantra theRutgers football team adopted.

The Scarlet Knights will wear“Believe” stickers across theirhelmets for the remainder of theseason. In their first game afterLeGrand’s injury on Saturday —

a 41-21 loss to Pittsburgh — theyreceived support fromPittsburgh, as well.

“This league has been greatand this whole nation has beengreat reaching out and I can’tthank you enough,” head foot-ball coach Greg Schiano said.“Another week has gone by andanother game has been playedand Eric is still in the same situ-ation. Nothing has changed.”

Pernetti declined to updateLeGrand’s condition — whosuffered a spinal cord injury atthe C3-C4 level — but did sayhe spent time with LeGrand,who was in “good spirits”before Pernetti left HackensackUniversity Medical Center for Pittsburgh.

The University insurancepolicy covered LeGrand’s med-ical expenses to date, and it hasa lifetime maximum benefit of$20 million.

“The NCAA policy that weparticipate in as it relates tothese types of injuries is com-prehensive and covers about asbroad a reach of things as it

can,” Pernetti said. “For thistype of injury, it covers notonly in all medical expenses,but the potential of homeremodeling. You name it, it’spart of the policy as it relatesto the injury.”

But the establishment of the“Believe Fund” is expected tosignificantly ease the financialburden of the LeGrand family,and one of the aspects thatPernetti is most pleased with isthe cooperation from the NCAA.

The fund allows Universitystaff members the ability to con-tribute to the trust.

In combination with the com-munity movement to supportLeGrand, Pernetti expects thetrust and support to continuous-ly grow.

“The most important thingfor everybody was to move asquickly as possible to get some-thing set up for Eric and hisfamily,” Pernetti said. “As thisevolves, I imagine there will bea variety of ways in which peo-ple can assist the family inEric’s recovery.”

rejected an article by Petkovi,Fischer said.

“I was pursued after a jour-nal I co-edit rejected an essay,based on the review process,”he said.

The report includes copiesof e-mails sent betweenPetkovi and Fischer, andPetkovi and Sokal.

“These e-mails give alterna-tive insight into the chronologyof the events that preceded theassembling of this document,”according to the report.

In the correspondencebetween Petkovi and Fischer,a point of contention comesthrough.

“This falsification of yourexperience with Critical PolicyStudies and accusations of pla-giarism are serious stuff. Theywould be grounds for lawsuitsagainst you were they to appearin print,” according to one ofFischer’s e-mails to Petkovicited in the report.

The repor t also includesinstances where other authors have questionedFischer’s citations.

Sixty academics from uni-v e r s i t i e saround theworld signeda letter inT h eChronicle ofH i g h e rE d u c a t i o narguing thatFischer didnot plagiarizebut his workwas poorlycited.

“This is atmost a misde-meanor of lit-erary style,admitted andregretted, and finding 19instances of it in five books doesnot appear particularly remark-able,” according to the letter.

A letter from Maarten Hajer,a University of Amsterdam pro-fessor of political science andpublic policy who was allegedlyplagiarized, defended Fischer’swriting techniques.

“On my part, I can only addthat I, as one of the alleged vic-tims in this case, have alwaysbeen very pleased with the factthat Frank thought it appropri-ate to invest so much in tryingto convey the essence of what Iwas trying to say,” Hajer said inthe letter.

According to the University’sAcademic Integrity Policy, plagia-rism is the representation of thewords or ideas of another asone’s own in any academic work.To avoid plagiarism, all sourcesmust be cited properly.

The University refused tocomment on the matter.

“Because this is a Universitypersonnel matter, we are not ableto comment,” said Helen Paxton,director of Communications atRutgers-Newark.

Fischer is waiting on theresults of a University investi-gation into the accusations andmaintains that he did not plagiarize.

“There is no official state-ment until after the investiga-tion,” Fischer said. “TheUniversity is required to con-duct an investigation in suchcases, which does not meanthat I am presumed guilty. I wel-come that investigation.”

On the sur face, Saturdaynight’s performance by the VicJuris Quartet seemed like anyother jazz concert. Audiencemembers tapped their feet andlistened intently as the quartettraded licks of f jazz standardsand tracks on their newestalbum “Omega is The Alpha”at the Lotus Studios inHighland Park.

Yet this was not just any jazz con-cert. It was jazz played for a cause.

The show is just one of sev-eral on the docket for the fledg-ling Jazz on the Banks organiza-tion, a nonprofit group that isworking to promote jazz inCentral Jersey and provide cul-tural, educational and perform-ance opportunities for thearea’s student musicians.

“My dream with Jazz on theBanks is that all of the students inCentral Jersey schools and even-tually all of New Jersey [will be]exposed to the music at a youngage,” said Conrad Herwig, artisticdirector for Jazz on the Banks.

The inspiration for the organi-zation came to Herwig 10 yearsago when he became involved inthe Midori Foundation.

As part of the foundation,formed by the world-renownedJapanese violinist Midori Goto,Herwig performed at severalNew York public schools, someof which had their entire musicprograms cut.

Anthony Pinciotti is part of the Vic Juris Quartet, which performed Saturday in Highland Park. The show willsupport Jazz on the Banks, which aims to provide opportunities for student musicians in Central Jersey.

“Kids and parents wouldcome up and say ‘This is thefirst concert in this school in 20years,’” said Herwig, a jazzstudies professor at MasonGross School of the Arts. “Andthey were trying to rebuild andstart a band program.”

Remembering the rejuvena-tion and excitement the con-certs bought, Herwig thought asimilar program should beestablished in the CentralJersey area, helping to exposeyoung children at an early ageto “America’s classical music.”

Things came to a head whenhe met and teamed up with localjazz aficionado Eric Weinbergover the summer to begin plan-ning for Jazz on the Banks.

In hopes to turn the LotusStudio into a space for con-cer ts and other communityevents, Weinberg, who ownsthe building, was attracted toHerwig’s vision for the organi-zation and loved the idea ofbringing world-class music toHighland Park.

“The idea that you could cometo Highland Park and hear a bandthat was a good as any jazz bandplaying in the world that givennight was a wonderful idea,”Weinberg said.

A dedicated core group ofplanners soon emerged, includ-ing Weinberg’s longtime friendArnie Baum of Westchester,N.Y. Jazz on the Banks was cre-ated by September, kickingthings off with a concert by

Herwig and the Latin Side atLotus Studios.

And though only of ficiallyfounded a little over a monthago, Jazz on the Banks hasstar ted to work toward itsgoals of assisting the area’sstudent musicians.

The “Backstage Pass forKids” program started underHerwig in 2005 as a project toconduct free jazz concerts inarea schools and has now comeunder the umbrella of theorganization, giving elemen-tar y and middle school stu-dents the opportunity to seeand hear a live concert per-formed by Mason Gross jazzfaculty and students.

More than 3,000 students insix Franklin, Piscataway andNew Brunswick schools havealready participated in the pro-gram, which Herwig hopes willsoon be expanded to bring areastudents to the University tohear Mason Gross jazz ensem-bles at Nicholas Music Centeron the Douglass campus.

“It’s about building the jazzaudience as well as making stu-dents aspire to a college career,”he said. “I think that [youngerchildren] really relate to hear-ing the college students.”

Jazz on the Banks will alsoestablish a scholarship fund inmemory of the late Mason Grossjazz trumpet professor William“Prof” Fielder to help a highschool trumpet player attend theRutgers Summer Jazz Institute,Herwig said.

The group also star ted a“Jazz Giving” program thatencourages area residents todonate rarely used instrumentsfor distribution to area schoolsystems, he said. Steve Dillonof Dillon Music in Woodbridgeis making necessar y repairsfree of cost.

“I always feel it is good tosupport the arts,” Dillon saidof his participation in Jazz onthe Banks.

He noted that programs likethis are more important with thecontinued funding cuts to musicand the arts.

Herwig also envisions a Jazz“Hipcats” program, which will

teach younger elementaryschool students about the genreand River Jam event, an all-dayjazz concert featuring Universityfaculty, alumni and students atthe recently renovated BoydPark in New Brunswick.

Though still in its infancy, Jazzon the Bank’s model has provedso successful that Baum is tryingto replicate it at the University ofConnecticut, where his son stud-ies jazz saxophone.

“It is like a win-win,” Baumsaid. “On the one hand it’s pro-moting the music and you arebringing in really high-level tal-ent to a local community … andthen the bonus of it all is thatwhatever money is left, it allgoes to kids.”

As part of their monthly con-cert series, Jazz on the Banks willhost the Jewish Jazz Ensemble

featuring jazz flutist MarkWeinstein and bassist MikeRichmond, a part-time lecturerwith the Mason Gross School ofthe Arts, on Nov. 20. A holidayconcert is also planned for Dec.11 featuring the Scarlet KnightsJazz Trombones.

Learning to love the musicand embracing the jazz cultureof improvisation will help stu-dents no matter where they goin life, teaching them to thinkon the fly and always look out-side of the box for ideas,Herwig said.

“If we get this kind of creativethinking going, then we are notrubber stamping our kids,” hesaid. “We are making them cre-ative individuals and that’s themost important thing, whether ornot they become a jazz musicianor any kind of musician.”

McDonald’s also madeheadlines recently forthreatening to drop itsskimpy “mini-med” healthinsurance coverage, whichcovers up to $2,000 per yearin health expenses, to its30,000 hourly workersbecause it can meet neitherthe 85 percent medical

expense requirement nor the restrictions on annualdollar limits for insurance coverage.

When the health insurance exchanges are set upand subsidies put in place, the McDonald’s threatwould hold as much clout as the nutritional contentof its coronary-inducing Big Macs — that is to say,none. These underpaid employees would then beable to buy affordable health insurance from theexchanges and get subsidized according to the levelof their salaries. To help offset the amount the tax-payers are paying for these subsidies, McDonald’swould be charged a $2,000 penalty for each workerto whom it does not offer health insurance.

Until the exchanges and subsidies are put intoeffect, the administration has little choice but to granttemporary exemptions, which it did earlier this month

to the tune of one-year waivers to 30corporations, including McDonald’s.

Another big area of contentionhas been the ban on denial of cover-age to children with pre-existingconditions and, more specifically, aban on increased premiums for thissicker group of children. Before thisregulation was implemented insur-ance companies wielded the powerto cherry-pick their policyholders,thus naturally choosing the healthi-

er, less costly individuals over those who had condi-tions such as heart disease, asthma or cancer.

But with the insurance coverage mandate set togo into effect several years down the road, insur-ance companies have rightly argued that a cover-age denial ban at this time would incentivize fami-lies to wait to buy coverage until their children areill, driving up costs for all policyholders and makingit cost-prohibitive to cover children in general. Onlyafter the coverage mandate is put in place will fam-ilies have no choice but to buy coverage, regardlessof health status.

Indeed, several major insurers have alreadystopped issuing child-only policies altogether, whichthey are permitted to do since they are not discrimi-nating against any subgroup of children. Faced withthe prospect of this disruption in the children’s insur-ance market, the Obama administration recentlyannounced that they will allow insurers to charge

OPINIONST H E D A I L Y T A R G U M

A s President BarackObama’s adminis-tration moves to roll

out the first batch of reformsin the Patient Protection andAffordable Care Act, thenew health care law, it facesa momentous task — effect-ing positive change for thehealth and well-being of mil-lions of Americans while avoiding disruption of thehealth care system and paradoxically leaving manycurrently covered Americans without insurance.

Already the reforms are being met with consid-erable outcry and opposition from employers, toinsurance companies, to the Republicans and teapartiers. Much of this backlash is meritless and sim-ply an attempt to protect an exorbitant bottom lineor stir the political pot right before the midtermelections. But the staggered and rapid implementa-tion of the PPACA created legitimate concerns fordisruption in the coverage of employees and chil-dren, and the administration has made the rightdecision to grant temporary exemptions to certainstakeholders to prevent this from happening.

The new health care law contains many provisionsthat kicked in on Sept. 23 of this year.Among these provisions include therequirement for insurance compa-nies to cover the children of policy-holders until the age of 26, restric-tions on annual dollar limits for insur-ance coverage of beneficiaries and aban on denial of coverage to childrenwith pre-existing medical conditions.

The rest of the law will be putinto effect gradually through 2014,when the last set of provisions —notably the availability of health insuranceexchanges, the insurance coverage mandate andsubsidies for individuals and families with limitedfinancial means — will be implemented.

While this staggered, now-and-later approach toimplementation allows some early benefits to beextended to the wary American public just in timefor the November elections, the front-loading of pro-visions threatens to disrupt the health insurancemarket because the stabilizing counter-provisionsare to be implemented much later.

For example, starting next year large insurancecompanies will be required to spend at least 85 per-cent of the premiums they collect on medical-relat-ed expenses. The goal of this regulation is to limitthe amount that these companies can allocate forhefty executive bonuses and other administrativecosts. While this new requirement has successfullyforced many insurers to trim the administrative fatand focus more on patient care, it has forced others,like the Principal Financial Group, to exit the healthinsurance market altogether.

STORY IN IN FOCUS

QUOTE OF THE DAY

“The goal of this regulation is to limit

the amount thatthese companies can

allocate for heftyexecutive bonuses.”

U nlike U.S. citizens, legal permanent residents do not have theright to vote. Just like U.S. citizens though, these green card hold-ers pay the same taxes and live in the same neighborhoods and,

often enough, are just as involved in politics. Portland, Maine, residentswill vote Nov. 2 on a proposal to allow legal residents who are not U.S. cit-izens to vote in local elections, according to The Washington Post.Portland is not alone, as it follows the steps of cities like San Francisco andChicago who have already loosened the rules or have begun consideringthe same idea.

The town is showing a progressive attitude that can only benefit its res-idents. It is the residents who decide on this matter, and it is they who areaffected by this potential change.

These non-citizens hold down jobs, pay taxes, own businesses and vol-unteer in the community, and it is only fair for the people of Portland toallow them to vote in local elections.

“We have immigrants who are playing key roles in different issues of thiscountry, but they don’t get the right to vote,” said Claude Rwaganje.Rwaganje moved to the U.S. due to political strife in his native Congo.

Opponents who criticize this push to allow non-citizens to vote arguethat it will devalue the meaning of citizenship. Yet these permanent resi-dents have been paying taxes since their arrival in the U.S. Waiting for theability to become citizens only delays their involvement in local politics.And if these residents are just as involved in society as citizens, they musthave the equal opportunity to elect officials who will — as soon as they areelected — affect citizens and non-citizes alike.

If we are as accepting as our nation advertises to the rest of the world,there should be an opportunity given to functioning members of society tomake political decisions. With numbers hovering miserably low in mostelections across the nation, U.S. citizens have shown a less-than-enthusi-astic attitude in their political opinions. At the very least, giving local non-citizens the opportunity to vote will bring up participation.

Permanent residents, no matter their citizenship status, are members ofmixed communities, and they must have the ability to make decisions with-in these communities. If the State Department has deemed them “goodenough” to live in the U.S., why limit their right that can increase their qual-ity of life along with the current political participation?

Allow equal votingrights for residents

A fter one of the most brutal and violent weeks in football, theNational Football League has decided to crack down on dangeroushelmet-to-helmet tackles by suspending players and fining them

following post-game reviews. Granted there are the more violent players inthe game, but the NFL has taken this one step too far with a rule that willonly lead to increased suspensions but unaffected in-game tackles.

It is no secret that football has a violent, tackle-based nature and thatis part of what we love about it. It would be nice to have a game filled withthe same familiar intensity and big hits, but without the career-endinginjuries. Therefore fining the flagrant helmet strike by Patriots’ safetyBrandon Meriweather in last Sunday’s game may have been a step in theright direction. On the other hand though, while repeat offenders shouldbe fined and suspended, the NFL must take into consideration the grayarea between a dangerous, egregious tackle and an unintentional hitleading to an unfortunate injury.

In the milliseconds before a tackle, anything can happen. The violentnature of the game creates the problem of punishing the wrong player. Atackle may seem worthy of the new $50,000 fine, while in fact, it is the resultof a precision-unlucky maneuver.

The nature of this problem is within the structure of the NFL. Playersare well-paid, highly-trained professionals who get into the game to hit or torun away from these rough hits. They are super stars because they aregood at what they do, and that skill is being tough and handling the pun-ishments of the game. Players understand that and continue with the game.

After Cleveland Browns’ wide receiver Joshua Cribbs suffered a con-cussion last weekend due to a hit by Pittsburgh linebacker James Harrison,all he had to say was — “He plays to knock people out.”

“Wouldn’t you want a linebacker like that on your team? I mean, hon-estly, a guy that you know is going to play and try to knock people out —try to knock the key players out of the game?” Cribbs said.

While all this is happening, the NFL is making money off “CrunchCourse” and “Moment of Impact.” “Big Hits” DVDs may be the hypocrisyof the century — in the sports world at least.

For those who come out on Sunday and Monday to make thousandsof dollars per game, these rules won’t change anything. And while repeatoffenders should be fined and suspended, the nature of football is toblame, and to limit that intensity would mean taking away the game itself.

New NFL rules failto tackle problems

The editorial asser ts thatschools do not stand to loseanything when they cut “non-profitable courses”— “as longas the major humanities depart-ments remain intact.” Are we tounderstand that “major humani-ties departments” should pro-duce profitable courses? Or thatthe humanities are acceptableeven though they may not beprofitable, as long as they reachlarge numbers of students?

In either case, it would beuseful to know where to drawthe line between major and dis-posable, not to mention whatmakes some of the humanitiesworth preserving in the firstplace. But such nuances are notthe editorial’s concern, as ismade clear by its remarkablycrude conclusion — although“humanities are needed” (how?by whom?) and their disappear-ance is “alarming” (why? towhom?), they can be taughtelsewhere (in private schools?).Apparently “we,” publicschools, do not need them ––and the current budget crisis

provides an opportunity to startgetting rid of them, as illustrat-ed in the starkest fashion by theSUNY-Albany case.

What makes this argumenttruly alarming is its premise:“College curricula need concentra-tion.” The editorial even suggeststhat high schools need it too, so we

should, at least, streamline college.What goes out the window there isfar more than a cluster of smallprograms in “non-profitable” fields.It is nothing less than the distinc-tive trait of American higher edu-cation, shared by many collegesand universities irrespective oftheir pedigree and objectives,whereby undergraduate studentsmay work in different fields at once

–– chemistry and Latin, biologyand Baudelaire — if they are soinclined. No one is forced tochoose, because there is a choice,a vast array of possibilities.

In universities built on such amodel, students may declaredouble, even triple majors, orcombine a couple of distantminors and take a few coursesoutside any declared specialty.Whether they value the “generalnotion of intellectuality” that theeditorial seems to despise, suchstudents do in fact benefit fromthe principle of general educa-tion that comprehensive univer-sities — as opposed to tradeschools — seek to embody whilealso fostering appropriate spe-cialization. It is distressing tosee a Targum editorial call for aworld where no spirit of generaleducation subsists (the verynotion is not even understoodanymore) with each collegeselecting its own subset of spe-cialties so as to blindly concen-trate on them. Worse, this illib-eral logic seems entirely dictat-ed by “today’s economic atmos-

phere” and the law of the budgetaxe, without so much as a wordof resistance in the name of whata very large, varied, creativepublic university like this oneactually stands for.

The committee’s faculty mem-bers hail from a wide variety ofdepartments within the School ofArts and Sciences — together,we form one of those committeeswhose task is to make sure thateducation at the Universityremains liberal in the true senseof that term. Our specific chargeis to help develop the teachingand study of foreign languages —large, small, even dead — acrossthe curriculum, as a crucial com-ponent of general education, crit-ical thinking and cultural under-standing in, as the editorial putsit, “the world following college.”

higher premiums outside of theopen-enrollment period to coverchildren with certain medical con-ditions, as long as it complied withstate law. Again, this disruption isonly a valid concern until the indi-vidual coverage mandate goes intoeffect in 2014.

So why didn’t Obama raiseconcerns about this potential fordisruption before the PPACAwas passed? His health policywonks must surely have raisedthe specter of these hurdles dur-ing the review process. Simplyput, House Speaker Nancy Pelosialready had a hard enough timepassing the bill in the House ofRepresentatives as is — imaginea White House-approved laundrylist of the health reform’s poten-tial shortcomings on top of allthis. So, sure, politics came intoplay here, but without politics,there is no policy, no matter howbeneficial it is.

Also, while both reform-backers and opponents have —legitimately — pointed to theissuance of these exemptionsas signs that the administrationis turning its back on its earlierpromises and appeasing thegreedy employers and insur-ance companies, the sheer com-plexities of the health care sys-tem and the need to ensure thatit runs smoothly during thistransition period necessitate acertain degree of flexibility. AsDr. Thomas Zeltner, the formerSwiss secretary of health put it,“Reforming the health care sys-tem is like fixing an airplanethat is in the air. It’s repairingan engine at full speed, andyou’re not allowed to let the air-plane crash.” Through a combi-nation of firmness and targetedexemptions, the Obama teamwill optimize its chances ofguiding the new health care lawand the millions of Americanswho depend on it to a soft andsteady landing.

The Panthers were in field-goal range to start the gamebefore Rutgers defensive tack-le Charlie Noonan read ascreen play and intercepted thepass to give the Knights theirfirst possession.

Rutgers (4-3, 1-1) respondedwith an eight-play, 49-yard drivein which Martinek ran the ballthree times for 10 yards, includ-ing a pitch from the 1-yard linefor a touchdown.

“That drive we ran the ball,”said true freshman quarterbackChas Dodd. “We had good suc-cess running the ball. We madeplays, I think that’s the mainthing. The rest of the game, wedidn’t make the plays that weneeded to make.”

After the first drive for theKnights, the offense succumbedto the Pittsburgh pass rush andfailed to put together anothersuccessful drive until a late,meaningless touchdown pass.

Pittsburgh (4-3, 2-0), particu-larly defensive ends BrandonLindsey and Jabaal Sheard, beatDodd into the ground with fivefirst-half sacks.

Dodd, star ting his thirdstraight game after taking overfor Tom Savage, had his worstgame in his brief tenure withRutgers. The 6-foot ByrnesHigh School (S.C.) productcompleted eight of 19 passes forjust 62 yards, taking six sacksand throwing an interception.

“It was rough,” Dodd said.“They have some great playerson that d-line and we just haveto go out this week and work atit and make sure we correct thethings that we messed up on.”

The offensive line continuesto be the top concern inPiscataway, with the mix-match-ing on the right side not improv-ing since the additions of red-shirt freshman Antwan Loweryand sophomore Devon Watkisinto the rotation.

After giving up 15 sacks in thelast two games, the sack total forthe Knights is a Big East-worst 37in seven games.

“It star ts with me,” saidfifth-year senior center andteam captain Howard Barbieri.“I’m the leader of the of fensiveline. I have to do a better job ofleading these guys. The of fen-sive line isn’t really a position.You have a responsibility. Ifyou don’t do your job, some-one could get hur t. We’relucky we didn’t get someonehurt [Saturday].”

Salmon nets two as Rutgers earns first Big East winBY A.J. JANKOWSKIASSOCIATE SPORTS EDITOR

The Rutgers men’s soccerteam headed into this weekendneeding a win to stay in postsea-

son con-tention,but his-t o r yw a sagainst

the squad, which had not scoreda goal on the road and was win-less in the Big East.

The Scarlet Knights rewrotethe history books Saturday bythrottling the Orange, 3-0, in Syracuse.

“If we lose this game againstSyracuse, then they go six pointsahead of us and there is basical-ly no catching them,” said seniorcaptain Yannick Salmon, whoresponded with two goalsagainst the Orange.

Salmon upped his team-highgoal total to six for the Knights(4-9-1, 1-6), including whatproved to be the game-winningtally in the 12th minute on a shotjust inside the 18-yard box.

Taking an early lead is some-thing head coach Dan Doniganharped on all season long, butSaturday marked the first timeRutgers tallied a goal in the first15 minutes of play.

“We really haven’t playedwith a lead all season,” saidDonigan, who earned his firstBig East win at the helm of theRutgers program. “It was some-thing a little different, especiallybeing on the road in a must-winsituation. The guys had theright attitude.”

got hot with less than 10 min-utes before the final horn blew,snapping of f three goals enroute to an emotional 3-0 victoryon Senior Day.

“I was so impressed by ourattacks. I thought we stayedreally poised and we didn’t getfrustrated,” said head coachLiz Tchou. “When you get frus-trated, your performance cango down. It’s how you keepeach play going — your atti-tude for each play — and Ithought our kids were just con-tinuing to tr y and figure things out.”

Icing the game for theKnights (8-10, 2-3) was fresh-man forward Gia Nappi, whoposted her best performance ofthe season.

The Fairfield, N.J., nativemade a run at the Bucknell (6-11) goalkeeper with less thantwo minutes left in regulation,sneaking one low to score herfifth goal. The freshman alsotabbed two assists in the game’sfinal 10 minutes, the latter to fel-low freshman Lisa Patrone on abreakaway and the other at the60:34 mark to junior backChristie Morad.

Rutgers stuck together despite aflurry from Syracuse at the endof the first half.

“When we scored first, we real-ly didn’t know what to do. We wereso surprised,” Salmon said. “Thefirst 15 minutes we were playingreally well, but the last 15 minutesof the half we really had to hold on.But once we fought through thatwe were able to move forward totake control of the game.”

The Knights doubled theiradvantage in the 52nd minute,

when junior forward IbrahimKamara buried a pass from class-mate Nate Bourdeau.

Bourdeau, from Baldwinsville,N.Y. — just minutes fromSyracuse — notched a pair ofassists in his return to upstateNew York.

Salmon added the insurancemarker in the 72nd minute,when he found himself on thefinishing end of a corner kickservice from freshman midfield-er Brennan McNicoll.

The win serves as a state-ment to the rest of the Big Eastthat the Knights may be devastated by injuries, but theyare not going down without a fight.

“One of the big things is toget your team to fight for you,no matter what the circum-stances,” Donigan said. “I’vesaid all season long that wecan’t complain about this team’swork ethic and the competitivelevel that these guys have.”

The Knights played with justthree substitutes, as injurieshave marred the team all seasonlong. But that is not howRutgers sees it. Instead, it is justanother way for the team toprove its resiliency.

“It’s just not in our character[to give up],” Salmon said. “Ourcoaches always talk about howwhen times are tough, you seepeople’s true character. We justwant to show them that we dohave a lot of character. We dohave a lot of spirit and that evenif things aren’t going well forus, we are going to workthrough it.”

With the victory over theOrange (2-8-5, 0-4-3), the twoteams are deadlocked for thefinal spot in the Big EastTournament with three points apiece.

Rutgers holds the tiebreakerover Syracuse, and DePaul sitsjust below the two squads withtwo points. The Knights hostthe Blue Demons in the regularseason finale on Oct. 30, atYurcak Field.

Rutgers travels to SouthFlorida before that game for amidweek showdown with USF.

Although the Bulls sit twospots ahead of the Knights in thestandings, Rutgers has the confi-dence going forward that it canscore on the road and competein the Big East.

“We have been unlucky inthe past four games, so hopeful-ly [Saturday] night was thebreakthrough,” Bourdeau said.“We’ve showed this year that wecan play with basically anyone.We’re going there to get a resultand find ourselves a way into theBig East Tournament.”

With offensive contributionsfrom Nappi, Patrone andMorad, the Knights sent theduo of senior co-captains off onthe right foot.

“Jenna [Bull] and Heather[Garces] have been such agreat pair of seniors,” Tchousaid. “They’re great leaders.They don’t just lead to lead.They empower others to leadand bring out their best andthat’s what I absolutely loveabout them.”

Though the Knights made itlook easy to end the game, itwas not so easy for much of thecontest. As the clock continuedto wind down in the secondhalf, the Bison attack jumpedup a notch.

With 11:40 left on the clock,Bucknell posted its fifth penaltycorner of the game –– the fourthof the second half –– to createyet another scoring opportunity.

The shot went wide off a blockand Tchou’s squad responded,quickly getting the ball movingthe other way.

The Knights matriculatedthe ball downfield, executedtheir passes and just two min-utes later tallied the game’sfirst goal.

“We didn’t start off too good,but I think [the team] showed usthey would do whatever it tookto get us a win,” Bull said. “Itwas pretty cool to beat a team, 3-0, in our last home game.”

Both teams struggled offen-sively for some of the first halfand much of the second half ofplay. The Bison outshot theKnights, 10-6, for the game andblanked the squad’s attack in the

first half, as Tchou’s of fensefailed to record a shot or penaltycorner in the period.

In the midst of its struggles, theteam never got down and madeadjustments on the fly to match up better with the opposition.

For Tchou, it was somethingspecial to watch.

“It was great to watch themout there problem solving,”Tchou said. “That’s probably themost rewarding thing as a coach— to watch them make their owndecisions and figure things outand communicate it out on thefield and want it so bad.”

The Knights posted their firstshutout of the weekend by blank-ing Columbia (8-6), 2-0, Fridayon the Banks.

Junior midfielder BridgetteSands earned her first goal of theyear off an assist from junior for-ward Nicole Gentile, who scoredthe game’s other goal. The goaland assist bumped Gentile up to21 points for the season and gavethe Jamison, Pa., native her 10thscore this year for Rutgers.

Both shutouts this weekendmarked the fourth time in fivegames in which the defense andfreshman goalkeeper SarahStuby stole the show.

Stuby made eight saves infront of her home crowd,improving the Knights’ homerecord to 6-4 and giving thewalk-on her fourth shutout ofthe season.

“Sarah Stuby made incredi-ble saves in there that reallyhelped us get out. It’s unbeliev-able,” Tchou said.

Rutgers competes in its finalgame of the season next

Saturday against No. 4Connecticut. Tchou noted earlyin the practice week that twostrong performances wereessential to establishing themomentum needed to take downthe Huskies and make the BigEast Tournament.

While the squad came out ofthe weekend with two wins, there

is still room to improve, accord-ing to Garces.

“I think this game just kindof showed us we have to stepup not only in the second half,but the first half,” the forwardsaid. “We have to star t of fstrong and not just rely on oursecond half. I think we have agood chance here.”

Despite the fanfare surround-ing Senior Day, the first half withthe Cardinals ended inconspicu-ously in a scoreless draw.

The Knights had one of theirbest opportunities of the half inthe 35th minute, when senior cap-tain Gina DeMaio dribbled alongthe right endline and found juniorJasmine Edwards in the box.

The San Diego native sent ashort cross that just evaded soph-omore April Price on the left sideof the box.

Price also sent a left-footedshot that forced a diving saveLouisville goalkeeper TaylorVancil as the first period elapsed.The Knights forced five savesfrom Vancil in the half.

The Knights ended the firststanza with nine more shots thanthe visiting Cardinals, who strug-gled to muster an offensive attackagainst a solid Rutgers backline.

Sophomore keeper EmmySimpkins continued to see limitedaction in the process, registeringjust one save in 45 minutes of play.

As per usual, freshmanSamantha Perretty replacedSimpkins in net in the second halffor Crooks.

Junior captain Tricia DiPaoloserved as the team’s catalyst, tal-lying the first Rutgers goal in the61st minute on an assist frommidfielder Gina DeMaio.

“Ever since we moved[DiPaolo] into the midfield, she’sbeen all about it,” Crooks said.“I’m really enjoying looking at thegoal scorers. Trish has worked sohard to get back.”

DiPaolo’s goal was her secondin as many games.

“Every weekend playing I getmore and more comfortable,”DiPaolo said. “I’m becoming moredangerous and more comfortabledribbling at players … opposed toplaying one- and two-touch.”

It took Rutgers less than threeminutes to get on the scoreboardagain, thanks to a header from Priceon a one-touch cross from DiPaolo.

Price’s goal tied her for theteam lead and marked the leastamount of time between Rutgersgoals this season.

Junior Ashley Medcalf cappedoff the Knights’ scoring in the81st minute with her second tallyof the season.

Rutgers started the weekendFriday with a 2-1 victory over vis-iting Cincinnati.

The Knights dominated playfor the match’s first 85 minutesbefore the Bearcats’ first cornerallotted the team a late goal.Moments later, the Bearcats (8-9-1, 2-8) earned another cornerbefore the Knights put the matchto rest, earning a berth in the BigEast Tournament in the process.

DeMaio started off the scor-ing in the 13th minute, when adeflected shot found her left foot.The Herrman Trophy candidatetook on touch with her left bootbefore putting a finesse shot inthe top left of the net.

DeMaio was at ease in themidfield all evening, sending incross after cross with a lot ofspace to maneuver.

“That’s kind of how we scout-ed [Cincinnati],” DeMaio said.“Coach [Crooks] said that in themidfield we would be able toturn and go at them. I wanted toreally take advantage of that[Friday] because I thought thatduring the season I could havedone a better job of it, but I washappy with it [Friday].”

DiPaolo added her secondgoal of the season just three min-utes later. Junior Karla Schachersent the ball into the box, whereDiPaolo capped off the madscramble in front of the net withthe Knights’ final tally.

The two goals marked thefirst time since a season-openingwin over Stony Brook that theKnights scored twice in a match’sfirst stanza.

“When we can come out hereand get things done early, werelax and get fresh legs in thegame — things like that,”DeMaio said.

Rutgers outshot Cincinnati,14-4, by halftime and earned fourcorners in the process.

Despite registering 26 shots— the team’s second-most on theseason — the Knights could notmanage a second-half goal, keep-ing a Bearcat team with just twoBig East wins in the match.

“We have to play a more com-plete game,” Crooks said. “Whatwe have to ask is, ‘Why didn’t weput [Cincinnati] away?’ That’s aproblem. I knew we were going tocome out and play well [Friday]— you could just feel it. We haveto carry that same feeling.”

the thirdtime was the charm.

A f t e rConnecticut and Army surren-dered fourth-quarter leadsagainst the Scarlet Knights,Pittsburgh answered the call andstomped on Rutgers on Saturdayto close out a 41-21 victory atHeinz Field.

“Some days you just getwhooped,” said head coach GregSchiano. “When everything goeswrong, that’s usually the result.The first half, it didn’t all go wrong.The second half, everything kindof went wrong.”

Dead-locked at 14 to start thesecond half, true freshman run-ning back Jordan Thomas lost afumble at the 26-yard line andthings spiraled out of controlfrom there.

Pitt quarterback Tino Sunserithrew a quick touchdown pass tobreak the tie and kicker DanHutchins kicked a field goal tohelp the Panthers go up by 10going into the fourth quarter,when Jonathan Baldwin and DionLewis turned the loss into ablowout for the Knights.

Baldwin made three spectacu-lar catches, including a touch-down grab with cornerback DavidRowe blanketing him.

Lewis, who burned Rutgers forthe second straight season, ranfor 130 yards and a touchdown.

“He’s definitely going to beon my fantasy team when hegets to the League,” Rowe saidof the 6-foot-5 Baldwin, who fin-ished with 139 receiving yardson five catches. “My hat goes of f to him. He’s just an incredible player.”

As Schiano said, things werenot nearly as out of control in thefirst half. In fact, Rutgers appearedto be in control for much of thegame’s first 30 minutes.
