Dining Services selects from within for new directorBY REENA DIAMANTE

UNIVERSITY EDITOR

In Joseph Charette’s office in RecordsHall on the College Avenue campus, a giantlamp adorned with a collection of event but-tons sits as evidence of his 22-year presenceas the associate director of Dining Services.

It is the same office where he will for-mally work later this month as theUniversity’s new executive director ofDining Services.

After a national pursuit that began in lastOctober, Vice President of Student AffairsGregory S. Blimling and his search com-mittee chose Charette among four final can-didates to replace Charles Sams, the cur-rent executive director of Dining Services.

Sams plans on retiring at the end ofSeptember, Blimling said.

“Joe’s experience, his great depth ofknowledge about dining service, his verysuccessful record as the associate directorof Dining Services, his knowledge ofRutgers University and how we work withhim in the institution made my decisionvery easy to hire him,” he said.

Blimling said the position of executivedirector of Dining Services could be morecomplex than people realize, as it takes anastute business mind to manage the $70million dining operation with no financialsupport from the state or University.

“Every nickel that they spend in DiningServices is self-generated room. He is oper-ating a very large business with multiplefranchises, multiple campuses, 365 days outof the year,” he said. “Just because studentsare gone doesn’t mean Dining Servicesclose down.”

Dining Services operations include notonly the dining halls, but also catering for spe-cial programs and summer conferences, fran-chises on the different campuses and conces-sions for athletic events among others.

“I am amazed at the depth of his knowl-edge about various kinds of food serviceoperations and about what is necessary tomake those operations successful,”Blimling said.

Charette joined the University inMarch 1989 and worked alongside Sams,

ANIMAL-FRIENDLY ENTERTAINMENT RUPD ups frequency ofcrime alerts

BY ALEKSI TZATZEV CORRESPONDENT

Despite the slew of crime alerts during thespring and summer semesters, the RutgersUniversity Police Department (RUPD) said crimehas not risen on campus.

The number of crime alerts so far this year is 13compared to a total of 14 in 2010, said A/Lt. MichaelRein of the RUPD.

“Crime hasn’t gone up but crime alerts have, andthe reason for that is because the University policedepartment works hard to provide real-time informa-tion for the community so that they can better preparethemselves,” Rein said. “We want the community to bemore alert.”

Rein said the RUPD has been more prepared toreport crime alerts in 2011 as the University attemptsto keep its students informed.

According to the 2007 to 2009 Public Safety CrimeStatistics, the number of reported robberies duringthat period decreased from eight to three, burglarieswere down from 103 to 62, and aggravated assault hadrisen from five to 11.

“Crime is an ongoing thing, it didn’t start withRutgersfest — it may have just brought it to some peo-ple’s attention,” Rein said.

The reason for the increased flow of informationto students, especially regarding break-ins andmuggings, could be attributed to cooperationbetween RUPD and local authorities of townsneighboring the University.

“We work hand-in-hand with the New BrunswickPolice Department, and it’s not just New Brunswick —it’s Piscataway, Highland Park, East Brunswick,Edison and North Brunswick,” he said. “We work withthem on a daily basis, information sharing — theirdetective bureau with our detective bureau.”

The consistent crime numbers are equally spreadacross the University campuses, with both public andprivate properties being burglarized and no singulararea having a disproportionate amount of crime.

“We work with [the surrounding municipalities]

Eagleton poll shows rise inNJ support for gay marriage

BY ANASTASIA MILLICKERASSOCIATE NEWS EDITOR

The latest Eagleton Poll shows New Jersey votersare marginally more supportive of legalizing gay mar-riage compared to past years, with more than half ofthose polled in support of gay marriage.

Polled voters showed their stance on gay marriagewith 52 percent in support, 32 percent in oppositionand 16 percent unsure, said David Redlawsk, directorof the Rutgers-Eagleton Poll and a professor of politicalscience. But given the choice of civil union or gay mar-riage, 58 percent of those polled prefer the alternative.

“Polling doesn’t tend to tell why attitudes havechanged over time, but New Jersey is a revealing ripplestate — despite its Republican government, attitudeshave been relatively moderate,” Redlawsk said.

The percentage of voters who support gaymarriage has slightly risen, but the number of voters who opposed gay marriage hasdropped significantly, he said. At the same timethose who either refused to answer or areunsure increased.

There seemed to be consistency among youngadult and older voters with 77 percent of voters

under 30 in favor, while 35 percent of seniors aged65 and older supported gay marriage, he said.

“Younger people, in general, grow up in a world thattends to be more accepting of gay marriage and racialissues, yet people 65 and older clearly oppose gay

Group honors lost student’s devotion to teachingANDREW SMITH

STAFF WRITER

To honor the memor y ofSergio Coutinho De Biasi, theGraduate Students Association(GSA) held an informal memo-rial service Tuesday evening inthe Graduate Student Loungeon the College Avenue campus.

De Biasi, a doctoral candi-date in the Depar tment ofComputer Science, committedsuicide on Aug. 11 to the sur-prise of everyone involved inthe GSA, said GSA PresidentReshma Nayyar.

“There were no signs.Everybody is in a state of dis-belief,” she said. “Sergio wasworking with so many dif ferentpeople from the GSA on somany dif ferent things. Therewere plans in progress to dothings, and that’s why everyoneis so shocked.”

To help cope with the loss,the GSA organized the

memorial to grant those closeto De Biasi an opportunity tospeak about their feelings andfrustrations, said Nayyar, a graduate student.

The ser vice opened to acrowded room of faculty, gradu-ate students and staf f at 7:30p.m., and featured a slideshowcomprised of photos and musicDe Biasi had taken and com-posed, respectively, saidMichael Littman, chair of the Depar tment of Computer Science.

Along with Littman, sched-uled speakers included RodrigoFranco Toso, a close friend ofDe Biasi, and BahmanKalantari, De Biasi’s Ph.D thesis adviser.

Kalantari, who is also a com-puter science professor, spokeon his work with De Biasi andexplained the practical and the-oretical nature of the graduate student’s developing thesis while also giving

some insight into his personality.

Demonstrating DeBiasi’s passion andstruggle for personalconnections, Kalantaridescribed the mathe-matical concept ofVoronoi diagrams,where the vertices of apolygon are closer toits originating pointthan the originatingpoint of an adjacent polygon.

Kalantari said the space that iscloser to each individual than toanyone else is the Voronoi region.

“If one is physically close tomany people, then one’sVoronoi region is small andthere isn’t a lot of space tomove around,” Kalantari said. “Ibelieve Sergio was a personwho wanted to be close to all.This was perhaps the most con-flicting part of Sergio’s gradu-ate studies.”

After the sched-uled speakers, DeBiasi’s friends andcolleagues sharedtheir insight into his mind.

Aline Ramires, DeBiasi’s girlfriend anda graduate student inthe Department ofPhysics, spoke aboutDe Biasi’s strugglefor perfection and bat-tle against isolation.

“He wanted to change theworld,” she said. “He wanted tochange the way he taught and hewas not just saying that.”

Michael Marcondes Defreitas,a graduate student in theDepartment of Mathematics, saidhe wanted to celebrate the cal-iber of Sergio’s work and dedica-tion to teaching.

“I think Sergio was a genius,and he was probably the first oneI ever met,” Defreitas said.“Everything he did and

everything he put his mind to wasjust way off the charts.”

As a member of the GSA, DeBiasi was particularly vocal aboutthe struggles with loneliness andpushed for events to help bringstudents together, Nayyar said.De Bisasi also produced commen-tary on similar subject matter inthe aftermath of the TylerClementi suicide.

Among some of his ef fortsto bring people together werebarbeques, as demonstrated ina video shown during the serv-ice and intense dedication tohelping the GSA whenever pos-sible, she said.

In addition to the serviceitself, representatives from theCounseling, Alcohol and OtherDrug Assistance Program andPsychiatric Ser vices (CAPS)and various counseling servic-es were present, of fering coun-seling for those struck particu-larly hard by the loss of De Biasi.

Weeks and days after 9/11, University alum-nus Jonathan Hyman captured history througha camera lens taking more than 20,000 photo-graphs documenting private grief and public expression.

Photos of billboards, barns and tattoos arefeatured in the collection being displayed at theSylvia Wald and Po Kim Ar t Galler y inManhattan during the “9/11:Visual Responseon the Street” exhibition.

The exhibition composed of 60 photographsby Hyman runs through Oct. 8 focusing on“vernacular memorials” displaying pain andagony metaphorically representing the shadowof the fallen tower, according to the RutgersFocus feature.

“Since September 11, 2001, I have been trav-eling the country with my camera every day,”

Hyman said in the article. “My goal is not justto take the pictures, but also to contextualizethe vocabulary people are using.”

Images include patriotic symbols of anAmerican flag enfolded around the trunk of abirch tree and firefighters tattooed with the names of fallen firefighters on their backs.

“I began to see this on the very day of theattack, when I went to pick up my daughter frompreschool,” Hyman said in the article. “I noticedsigns by the side of the road: ‘We will prevail.’ Or‘It’s time to kick some ass,’ or just flags that peo-ple had left.”

Hyman has guest lectured at Edward J.Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policyand in 2006, he spoke as a visiting artist in theDepartment of American Studies.

When it came time to prepare for the exhibitof the photos commemorating the 9/11 attacks,Hyman reached out to Jeffrey Wechsler, fellowalumnus and curator for 34 years at the JaneVoorhees Zimmerli Art Museum.

Wechsler received his master’s degree in artfrom the University in 1977, and said he enjoysthe artistic energy and photographic masteryin Hyman’s photographs.

“While the imager y is documentar y inessence, the aesthetic qualities are evident,”Wechsler said in the article. “Jonathan is care-ful to include surrounding structures, objects,and instances of human reaction to of fer adeeper and experiential context to the main subjects.”

Researchers tune into finding hit song formula BY TIFFANY KATEHAKIS

CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Writing a hit song may notseem like an easy feat, but twoUniversity graduate studentshave taken steps closer to solving the myster y as to what makes a song popular.

Shaun Ellis and TomEngelhardt decided to do theirfinal project for InformationVisualization, a class they tookin the fall of 2010, on trying touncover similarities in popular songs.

“What makes people likecertain music over others is thebalance of familiarity with theelement of surprise,” Ellis said.“I think that is par t of the voodoo of writing hit songs.”

They analyzed data from theBillboard Hot 100 charts from1960 to 2010 with the databaseof Echo Nest, a music intelli-gence company that analyzesmusic content and extractsinformation by using machine-listening technology.

Then they ran it throughTableau, a program able to analyze

the data in a variety of ways.

“We released a data set witha million songs and [Ellis andEngelhardt] started analyzingall the audio stuff that we pro-vided against each other to seehow you can find some trendsin hit songs,” said TristanJehan, co-founder of Echo Nest.

The duo looked at character-istics including beat strength,temp stability and overalltempo of a song.

“Gathering data was noteasy,” Ellis said. “[We] had towrite a program that wouldquery the Billboard charts andtake that info to a database andquery the Echo Nest data bysong title and pull the metadataabout the songs to store it inthe database.”

Ellis and Engelhardtresearched 50 percent of the top hits from 1960 to 2010.

“Other students used exist-ing data sets but we pulledsomething new by mashingthem together,” Ellis said. “TheBillboard database only allowsyou to request 50 songs at a

time and not in order — theywere randomized. For anygiven week we could only takehalf of the music on the top 100.”

But that did not hinder their

understanding of the data.Among their findings they

noticed songs written in key ofC, G and D were more preva-lent in pop music. Also, overthe years pop songs have pro-gressed to become more dance-able, louder and longer.

Another important factor inanalyzing the data of pop musicof years past was the change ingovernment regulation of the media.

“It turns out theTelecommunications Act of1996 went into ef fect at thistime so companies could buy upradio stations and put their ownplaylists on the air,” Ellis said.“We think there is likely a correlation with this but you’d have to do more research.”

Ellis and Engelhardt createdbubble charts to display theirfindings. These char ts tooklarge quantities of data and ana-lyzed the information using dif-ferent characteristics at thesame time.

Anselm Spoerri, the profes-sor who taught the course,believed Ellis and Engelhardthad a unique approach to a pop-ular topic.

“When I saw the work thatthey had done for the final proj-ect of the class, I thought thatthis could be something otherscould be interested in,” he said.“It took hit songs and used dif ferent data sources to ana-lyze this topic in a deeper way.”

Spoerri was right. After Ellisand Engelhardt posted theirproject online, bloggers inter-ested in the topic took notice,

and in June 2011, the stor y was picked up by NBC New York.

Despite their newfound presscoverage, Ellis pointed out thathe does not believe there is onespecific formula that could beattributed to all hit songs.

“If you mean, could you pro-gram a machine to write a hitsong, then no,” Ellis said.“However, if you mean, can youdetermine the ever-changingstructure and common attrib-utes for popular music, then certainly.”

Ellis, who is also a musicianand songwriter, said one of themost important characteristicsto a song remains the humanconnection to the music on anemotional level.

He believes listeners need tobe engaged by a song from thevery beginning in order to lis-ten to its entirety.

The most important factor inpicking out a winning songcould be that balance of famil-iarity and uniqueness.

“It’s [good to have] a catchyrif f or an interesting beat tomake them interested,” Ellis said.

“What makes peoplelike certain musicover others is the

balance of familiaritywith the element

of surprise ...”SHAUN ELLIS

Traf fic slowed last night onCollege Avenue when a collisionoccurred around 6:20 p.m. at theintersection of Stone Street andCollege Avenue.

A black Jeep V-6 was turning leftfrom Stone Street onto College Avenuewhen it struck a green Honda Accordtraveling straight on College Avenue.

Kendall Young, a Piscataway resi-dent, had just dropped his girlfriend offat the New Brunswick Train Stationwhen the middle-aged man driving theJeep struck the side of his vehicle.

Neither driver was injured, but therewas significant damage to the bumperand front of the Jeep as well as dentingon the side of the Honda.

“I had the right of way. I’m veryupset about it. My car was totaled,”Young said. “What’s the rush for?There are college students crossingeverywhere.”

marriage more than the youngergeneration does,” Redlawsk said.

A trend seen among all agegroups is the support of same-sexcivil unions as an alternative to gaymarriage with 57 percent of 18 to 29years-olds, 56 percent of 30 to 49year-olds, 61 percent of 50 to 64year-olds and 52 percent of those 65and over, he said.

“Civil union is the halfway pointto same-sex marriages,” he said.“To many, marriage has a religiousmeaning behind it, so civil union fitsthe bill just fine as an alternative togay marriages.”

Redlawsk said the type of reli-gion someone practiced was not alarge deciding factor. Instead, howoften a person attended religiousservice served as a stronger indica-tor than affiliation.

“We asked what religion theypractice and how often theyattend service and focused onhow often they attend service,”he said. “Those who attendedservice were least willing to sup-port gay marriage.”

Knowing of someone who is gayor lesbian increases support for gaymarriage, but those with a gay fam-ily member were less supportive ofcivil unions than they were of same-sex marriages, Redlawsk said.

“About two-thirds of peopleknow of someone who is gay or les-bian while one-third of people donot. That is up from previous years,but few feel that same-sex marriageis a top issue for the state,” he said.

Redlawsk said people do not seegay marriage as an important issuebut those who have a gay or lesbianfriend are a little more willing.

“People are fine with civilunions, which are legal in NewJersey — not so much gay mar-riages, but there seems to be littlelikelihood of immediate change inNew Jersey,” he said.

Norman Rogers, 47, ofTuckerton, N.J., said that he is gladthere is a larger percent of peoplesupporting same-sex marriage.

“My brother is homosexual, andhe and his partner went out of statein order to get married,” he said.“The fact that they couldn’t do thatin New Jersey is sad.”

Rogers said despite his RomanCatholic background’s leaningstoward being unsupportive of gaymales, his brother holds a positionof leadership in the church.

“I support my brother whole-heartedly and I wish he could someday walk down the aisle in thechurch. But as for now he is contentlecturing and he receives a lot ofsupport in the church community,”he said.

Josephine Gonzalez, 32, ofNew Brunswick said both herparents frown upon civil unionsand same-sex marriages. But shefreely supports it.

“It has a lot to due with age.My grandfather or even my fatherwould be very disappointed ifeither my sister or I were gay,”she said. “Meanwhile, I teach mykids acceptance by all standards.”

Neha Desai, a School ofEngineering first-year student,said she supports civil unions butthinks marriage is a significantreligious event.

“Marriage holds a religioussanctity between men and women,and civil unions are still importantbut not religious,” she said.

who acted as the director ofBrower Commons. Sams wasnamed the executive director ofDining Services two years later,and Charette continued to workby his side.

“Shortly after that I came intothis office as the associate direc-tor of Dining Services, so he andI have been working together forpretty much the whole 22 years,”Charette said.

As the associate director,Charette worked in the capacityof the executive director whenSams was not available. On aday-to-day basis, their responsi-bilities were split into dif ferent segments.

Operations in the dininghalls, a major bulk of the busi-ness, as well as staf f positionssuch as the facilities manager,sanitarian and county supervi-sor reported directly to Sams,he said.

For Charette, his responsi-bilities included working withfood buyers, concessions, cater-ing and cash operations.

“We started looking aroundall of these cash operations thatthe University was the fran-chisee or licensee for,” he said.“None of that existed when Iwas brought into this position.That was one of my mainresponsibilities, to develop thecash business.”

Examples of the cash opera-tions include the Dunkin Donutsand Sbarro in theLivingston StudentCenter, he said.

Blimling saidwhat people may notknow about Charetteis his extensiveexperience in restau-rant managementand retail food serv-ice management.

Charette, a CookCollege alumnus whodouble majored inenvironmental sci-ence and agricultural science,said he did not plan on working inthe food service industry.

With the original intent tostudy environmental law inColorado, he said he worked attwo restaurants in Washington,D.C. and gathered experienceworking alongside quality chefsbefore moving out west.

Through a friend in Colorado,Charette landed a job opening upan Italian restaurant in FortCollins, Colo.

After starting the restaurant,other individuals asked him toopen up their restaurants, andlater he managed Bennigan’sfranchises in the Southwestuntil he was transferred back tothe East.

“In the lasttwo and halfyears I wasworking forthem, I washere in NewJersey,” hesaid. “I start-ed looking fors o m e t h i n gthat had a bet-ter quality oflife, some-thing thatseemed a little

bit more stable. I winded upcoming here to Rutgers becauseI went to school here.”

Charette has stayed in theUniversity ever since, becausehe said he cares about studentsand hopes to provide them with abetter dining experience than heunderwent during his under-graduate years.

Although Charette said he issad to see Sams — a coworkerwho has collaborated with him onmany different projects — retire,he remains pleased with hisfriend’s career.

“[Sams is] leaving right nowwith everyone very proud of theirnew dining facility, and reviewshave been fantastic,” he said. “I’mhappy he can leave on his terms,on the top of his game.”

Blimling said he is confidentthat Charette could enhanceand add to a flourishing and constantly improving dining operation.

“We think Joe Charette isthat person who can help usmaintain the success we havethrough his imagination, cre-ativity and strength in entrepre-neurial areas that we can buildon under our current successeswith Charlie Sams,” Blimling said.

Charette said in a way his jobas associate director preparedhim for this future title.

“I’m looking forward to tryingto give folks here at theUniversity what it is that theyneed to be successful in their pro-grams and I want people to bevery proud,” he said. “We want tobe the best.”

day-to-day, because someonewho is going to victimize peopleand property doesn’t discrimi-nate based on it being a Rutgersbuilding, New Brunswick build-ing, city resident or a college stu-dent,” Rein said.

RUPD could not identify anyone group being targeted morethan another in terms of age orsex. Both female and maleUniversity students are atequal risk, and first-year stu-dents are statistically as victim-ized as upperclassmen.

“We remind everyone to takethe same precautions to protectthemselves, [although] some-times we send out alerts to acertain building if we think theyare really the only ones whohave the potential to be victim-ized,” he said. “But we don’t dis-criminate based on race, gen-der, color, ethnicity.”

In addition to informing stu-dents of crimes occurring in thearea, RUPD attends all first-yearorientations to present informa-tion pamphlets on trainingclasses offered by the PublicSafety department.

“The police department offersvery good training classes frompersonal safety [like] the R.A.D.(Rape Aggression Defense)class,” Rein said.

Despite keeping studentsinformed more, some found thecrime alerts to be insufficient.

Raana Sheikh, a School ofArts and Sciences junior, said shetook more precautions followingthe increased frequency in crimealerts, but felt they couldimprove still.

“I wouldn’t walk alone atnight. But I think the crime alertsare so vague, that they don’t doanything‚” Sheikh said. “I thinkthey could do more.”

Rishi Mattoo, a School ofBusiness sophomore, agreedwith the University’s move toincrease students’ awarenessand precautions.

He said the RUPD could notdo much more than it alreadydoes and believes officers dotheir job by alerting students ofdangers around campus.

“I was more conscious when Iwas walking alone past 11 p.m.,because I was living here duringthe summer, so I made sure if Iwas walking out late, I was withsomebody,” Mattoo said. “It does-n’t matter how strong you are [if]you are getting bounced.”

He said some students haveless exposure to some of thecrime situations prevalent in theNew Brunswick area.

“I guess [first-year students]are less safe, because you growfrom experience, and they haveless experience,” he said.“They have less experiencethan upperclassmen who aremore careful.”

Vivian Tsai, a School of Artsand Sciences junior, said she wassurprised at the crime alerts sentout during the summer, but didnot change much of her routine.

“They made me remember tolock the doors,” she said.

The RUPD is in the process ofa major system upgrade, so stu-dents will soon be able to searchpolice data such as crime num-bers and crime alerts more easi-ly, Rein said.

Despite the RUPD’s alert-ness, Rein advises all students tocontinue to be cautious, to walkin well-lit areas, carry a cellphone and when possible, walkin groups.

Building remembered as largest strings manufacturer in countryBY CHASE BRUSH

STAFF WRITER

When Thomas Nelson Jr.,Alexander Paul and GeorgeEmerson pooled their efforts andpassions for musical string manu-facture in 1897 to create theNational Musical String Company(NMSCo), they had little ideatheir work would one day serveas the largest manufacturer ofstring instruments in the nation.

The New Brunswick companyoperated out of a 40,000-square-foot central factory building locat-ed at 120 Georges Rd. until early1979, according to the building’snomination form for the NationalRegister of Historic Places.

It specialized in the produc-tion of musical strings for violins,cellos, guitars and banjos as wellas harmonicas.

“By the first decade of the20th century and for many yearsthereafter, [NMSCo was] thelargest plant in the world devot-ed to musical strings,” accordingto the form.

But Morris Kafka, a memberof the New Brunswick HistoricalAssociation, said he would notconsider the NMSCo’s industrialsuccess unique of its time.

“These businesses were allover the city, and it’s whatmade New Brunswick wealthyin the mid- to late-19th centu-ry,” he said.

Despite NMSCo’s prolongedsuccess, the company was ulti-mately sold in 1979 to the KamanMusical String Company, movingbusiness to Connecticut, accord-ing to NMSCo records.

Local architect Ben DeKampbuilt the building to accommo-date the processes used to man-ufacture string instruments,Kafka said.

“The brickwork itself hasthat distinctive color that we see

in this region and is typical ofCivil War-era industrial build-ings of which there are preciousfew in the New Brunswickarea,” he said.

Following the move ofNMSCo’s business operations,the factory experienced a periodof episodic vacancies and owner-ships, and was used as a rentalspace for small businesses,Kafka said.

“Sometime in the late ’80s, Iactually went in and had a part made for a dresser I had,” he said.

The building was nominatedand added to the NationalRegister for Historic Places in1982, he said.

The NMSCo building hasserved no identifiable purposeover the past few years. RobertBelvin, director for the NewBrunswick Free Public Library,said he is concerned the buildingwill be demolished in the future.

“It’s been a building withoutpurpose,” he said. “And oldbuildings without a purposetend to vanish.”

Bristol-Myers Squibb, anearby biopharmaceutical man-ufacturer, is just one of manyplayers that could ultimatelydetermine the building’s fate,Kafka said.

“It looks like Squibb is ever-expanding toward the building,”he said. “Squibb maintains theirproperties well, but I don’t thinkthey would want an eyesore nextto their complex.”

Kafka, who is an expert ofthe preservation of historicbuildings, said there is an eco-nomic engine that drives preser-vation, but many people over-look that fact.

“If I bought a building andplanned to make condominiums,and I didn’t know it was historic, Imight order up some nice new

Built in 1897 to create the National Musical String Company, the 40,000-square-foot factory still stands at 120 Georges Rd. in New Brunswick, N.J. The building has switched ownership over the years.

stucco in whatever trendy color ofthe day is, and put in big picturewindows and balconies thatmight not reflect the style of thebuilding,” he said.

Often, there are additionalremunerations that go alongwith preserving historic places,Kafka said

“There are benefits to it interms of the tax structure,” hesaid. “If I knew that the samebuilding was historic, and I knewthere were historic tax rehabili-tation credits available throughthe state, I would be very carefulto save whatever I could to retainits appearance.”

The Pioli Properties, LLC,plans to purchase and convert thefactory into a mixture of residen-tial and retail space, said JaniceLarkin, assistant to NorthBrunswick’s Mayor, Francis“Mac” Womack.

The North Brunswick ZoningBoard approved a resolution on

February 17, 2011 to renovatethe NMSCo building to provideretail and commercial space onthe first floor and 24 apartmentson the upper floors, she said.

A beauty, hair and nail salon,a shoe store and an art galleryare among the businesses thatwill occupy the first floor,Larkin said.

“It is a building that retainsa high degree of historicalintegrity, looks to be struc-turally sound and could proba-bly re-happed for any use,”Kafka said.

Larkin hopes the proposedrenovations would strive to pre-ser ve the historical signifi-cance and Civil War-era style ofthe factory — which, for Kafka,is essential.

“It’s the most logical way topreserve a building,” Kafka said.“If [the owner or potential owneris] informed about the historicalimportance of the building,

they’re able to make choicesthat will preserve the mostimportant elements.”

Belvin, who is one of the care-takers of the Henry Guest Houseon Livingston Avenue, said he iswell accustomed to historicbuildings, which are given tomisuse and neglect.

“If it’s used, it establishes aconstituency … if it’s vacant,there’s nobody that’s involvedand then it comes tumblingdown,” he said.

In the end, Kafka hopes theNMSCo building — whatever it isultimately used for — will be pre-served and used again in thefuture, he said.

“It’s an important part of ourhistory,” he said. “People any-where can live in ordinary, new-looking buildings. There areonly so many old buildingsaround, and generally they willattract people who want to liveand work in them.”

Local townships prepare to honor 9/11 victimsBY ZACH BREGMAN

CONTRIBUTING WRITER

All across Middlesex County,townships and organizations arecoming together Sunday to com-memorate the 10th anniversaryof the Sept. 11 attacks on theWorld Trade Center.

Most cities, like NewBrunswick, are hosting a tributeor memorial service for the vic-tims, as well as for the first respon-ders and armed services who ded-icated their time in the aftermath.

A special ceremony in BoydPark off of Route 18 in NewBrunswick at 1 p.m. will honorthe memory of the 75 MiddlesexCounty residents who were killedduring the attacks as well as thesurvivors, the volunteers and mil-itary personnel who served afterthe attacks.

In addition, the NewBrunswick Elks Lodge will

donate a flagpole and present aplaque as part of the ceremony inBoyd Park.

Mike Mahoney, treasurer ofthe New Brunswick Elks Lodge,contacted the city to team up for amemorial similar to one theUniversity held in 2001 in thedays following the attacks.

“We wanted to follow up onthe remembrance held onLivingston Avenue back in 2001,which Rutgers was involved in,where the names of 37 alumni ofRutgers who were killed wereread off in honor of their memo-ry,” he said.

The ceremony, “A Day ofRemembrance,” stresses themessage “yesterday, today andtomorrow,” and will include a ser-mon from a clergyman aboutmoving on, Mahoney said.

Many charities will be presentat the ceremony, taking donationsand conducting blood drives.

The University will also beinvolved since the dance clubwill perform and the University’sArmy ROTC will be present atthe memorial.

The New Brunswick ElksLodge 324 is hosting a pancakebreakfast that begins at 8 a.m.on Sept. 11 to raise money for the Army of Hope founda-tion, a program that donatespersonal supplies to militar y

personnel who need them and offers financial assistanceto families of wounded or killedservice personnel.

The breakfast costs $10 foradults, $5 for kids and childrenunder 5 years old receive free admission.

In Piscataway, the University’sArmy ROTC is holding the Runfor the Warriors 5-mile race incollaboration with the Hope forthe Warriors foundation, a non-profit organization that assistswounded U.S. service membersand their families.

Emma Riley, who is workingwith the Army ROTC for theevent, said the race attracts alarge crowd of people in supportof soldiers’ efforts.

“[We’ve been] holding thisevent for four years now andthe turnout for the race is often400 people,” she said. “[Wewish] to ensure the care of

wounded soldiers and try toaccomplish this through out-reach to Rutgers.”

She said they also hoped tobring awareness about the contri-butions soldiers give.

“We also simply want to say‘thank you’ and ‘welcome home’ tosoldiers back from duty,” she said.

In East Brunswick, theMarine Corps League will partic-ipate in a parade where mem-bers carry the flag and bagpipers trail them while playingpatriotic music, followed by theirown volunteers.

A 10-year anniversary memori-al will also be held in EastBrunswick for residents whowere killed on Sept. 11, saidKaren Kecskes, the recreationsupervisor for community servic-es in East Brunswick.

“We want to honor those resi-dents of East Brunswick and theirmemory,” she said.

An Edison court is presently hearing a case thatbrings forth the issue of racial slurs.

During an incident on July 3, 2008, police officerJoseph Kenney rescued two victims of a car accident,when his sergeant, Alex Glinsky, allegedly berated himfor caring to two people because they were Indian.

Kenney is suing Glinsky, the Edison police depart-ment and the township, according to an nj.com article.

Kenney, 60, said in the article that Glinsky andother officers reprimanded him for helping thetwo victims, whom they disliked for being Indian.

“[Glinsky] said ‘Joe, why did you go in the car?They’re nothing but dirty filthy … Indians,’” he saidin the article.

In response to the incident, Kenney said thatthe police department suspended his pay andcharged him with insubordination for reportingGlinsky’s comments.

Theodore Campbell, Kenney’s attorney, saidthat officials discriminated against Kenney fordoing the right thing and standing up for his ethics.

“[Kenney] did the right thing in pulling peo-ple out of the car and did the right thing isspeaking out about Glinsky’s actions,” he said in the article.

But Eric Harrison, the attorney for Edisontownship, said in the article that Kenney’s insub-ordination charge had been dropped and the

police department only placed Kenney on anadministrative leave to heal from the trauma ofthe accident.

Harrison said in the article that officers askedKenney to take time off to control his anger after an incident in which he told then-Edisonpolice Director Brian Collier that he wanted to “kill” Glinsky.

As the trial continues, Harrison continues toargue that Glinsky did not make the offensivestatement that he is being accused of.

Glinsky has since retired.— Ankita Panda

Even abroad, many countrieswith free speech are being pressured into censor-ship. British Parliament is under constant pressurefrom a growing Conservative Muslim populationinto censoring anything negative about Islam or theProphet Muhammad.

Had every American had this attitude, theDeclaration of Independence wouldnever have been written, for fear ofangering King George; nor wouldU.S. troops have entered World WarII by storming Normandy, for fear itwould offend the European frontthat they needed help; nor wouldslavery have been abolished, northe Civil Rights Act passed, for fearof offending land-owning white

STORY IN UNIVERSITY

QUOTE OF THE DAY

I magine walking into your first day of college and being asked tourinate into a cup. It may sound like a strange scenario, but forstudents at Linn State Technical College — the only public tech-

nical college in Missouri — it’s a very real one. The school recentlyenacted a measure whereby all new students are required to submit toa drug test. If a student fails the test, he or she will have 45 days to passanother one. If this whole program sounds unnecessarily invasive,that’s because it is, especially for a public college.

According to officials at the school, the tests are a safety measure. AtLinn State, some students routinely work with heavy machinery as partof their course loads. Administrators see the mandatory drug tests as away to hopefully prevent any serious injuries as a result of irresponsiblebehavior. This is certainly a concern that the school needs to take seri-ously, but their preferred method of dealing with said concern is tooextreme. Even the students who do not work with machinery are subjectto the drug tests. In choosing to administer mandatory drug tests to allnew students, Linn State is unquestionably invading their privacy. It is atextbook example of unlawful search and seizure, and we are shockedthat so many administrators at Linn State are in support of the measure.

Students attend colleges to receive educations. They do not paythousands of dollars in tuition to be treated like criminals, and theyshould not have to deal with such undue suspicion from the very peo-ple who are supposed to be supporting their academic careers andencouraging their continued growth as individuals.

It is especially disconcerting to see these measures being taken ata public college. As a manifestation of the state government, Linn Stateshould seek to uphold all aspects of the law — including the constitu-tional right to privacy. If Linn State were a private college, it would havemore freedom to enact a program like this — although, even in thatcase, we would be unhappy to see it happen. But Linn State’s status asa public educational institution should prevent it from prying so need-lessly into the lives of its students. Take a moment to think about whatwould happen if the University were to pull something like this. We’rewilling to bet that the overwhelming majority of students wouldexpress their dissatisfaction quite loudly, and we hope Linn State stu-dents do the same. College students are adults — let them monitortheir own personal responsibility.

O ur FirstAmendment grantsus four unalienable

rights as Americans — thefreedom of press, the free-dom to public assembly, thefreedom of religion and, ofcourse, the freedom ofspeech. Our freedoms allowus a certain level of comfortand ease when communicating our thoughts andbeliefs. There are certainly some limitations on freespeech. The United States has laws against slanderand libel, wherein the speaking party may bearrested or punished if the statement is made withmalicious intent, deliberately false information orthe intent to defame the person. One needs only tolook at Supreme Court cases like New York TimesCo. v. Sullivan to see how free speech can bescathing without defaming or malicious. Gitlow v.New York is another case that shows how freespeech can be limited if it is dangerous to the state,or seditious in matter.

In Tuesday’s column in The Daily Targum titled“Protect Real Freedom of Speech,”the author mentions a school facultymember who made remarks abouthim on Facebook. While theremarks made were arguably inap-propriate for a faculty member tomake, they were made on a thirdparty site and were out of theUniversity’s jurisdiction. The authoralso mentioned a Facebook statusfrom a student, which supposedly threatened vio-lence against him (the author). While the post inquestion did not threaten violence, it may also havebeen considered inappropriate.

The author has every right to be offended andseek remedy. I do find delectable irony, however, inthe spectacle that has become our protection — orlack thereof — of free speech. Instead, it’s been sub-stituted with “pretty free” speech. By this I meanthat free speech is tolerated, but frowned upon if it’snegative. While any author is free to be offended bycritiques of his/her work, writing style, political orreligious views, it is simply not acceptable to censorthat free speech to curtail the author’s offense.

Everyone in this country has the right to beoffended by anything. However, what can be consid-ered offensive is a fickle, grasping-at-straws attemptto make objective a sense that is utterly subjective.

The movement to censor free speech is surpris-ingly growing. After James Hoffa’s speech at theWhite House, Republican pundits exploded onto thescene, decrying the horror of images of violence in

Mandatory drug testsinvade student privacy

I f you’ve been on MyRutgers lately — or read yesterday’s issue ofThe Daily Targum — then you’ve probably heard about the newSelf-Reporting Absence Application (SRAA). In short, the SRAA is

an application that allows students to report their absences online to theStudent Information Management System (SIMS), which will help pro-fessors keep track of the absences. The SRAA is an interesting idea, andit could bring about some excellent benefits, like allowing SIMS to keeptrack of absence statistics and letting professors rest a little easier whenit comes to keeping tabs on attendance. However, the SRAA will onlybring about these benefits if students act like responsible adults.

By virtue of the University’s impressively large size, students hereare used to being largely left alone by the school. The burden of get-ting in touch with professors and administrators usually rests on thestudents. However, most of the instances wherein students need tocontact University personnel are pressing matters — for example, dis-puting charges on a term bill, lowering a meal plan or talking to a pro-fessor about grades. In these situations, there is actual motivation forstudents to open lines of communication. But in the case of reportingabsences, the same level of motivation does not exist. Most studentsjust figure their professor will catch their absence when they call role,and if the professor doesn’t take attendance, that’s all the more reasonto not go to class in the first place.

Not only is there a lack of motivation for students to use the SRAA,but there is also the obvious possibility of abuse. Say a student decidesthey don’t want to show up to class, so they use the SRAA to reporttheir absence and cook up a fake illness. Suddenly, the truant has doc-umentation of a “legitimate” absence. Who’s going to spend time inves-tigating such claims?

The SRAA is predicated on an unspoken honor system. The admin-istration fully expects students to be responsible and use the SRAA theway it is meant to be used. In some ways, it is actually kind of flatter-ing that the University thinks so highly of its student body, even whensaid students sometimes prove them wrong. It is the job of every stu-dent to use the SRAA appropriately. Only then will the application beelevated from “interesting idea” to “highly useful program.”

Reporting absencesrequires honesty

The goal of thecoverage is to provide a layer ofdescriptive context that ranges overeverything from Muslim andChristian relationships, women’srights or lack thereof and mostimportantly, the notorious notion ofIslam and democracy.

The Delta Project is an excellentstep toward a unique and in-depthperspective on the changes in

Egypt. Since thebooming of thenewly coined term,“Arab Spring,”countries within theMiddle East arefinally getting theattention they need.For once, it has

nothing to do with the War onTerror or the oil exchange.However, the adequate quality ofthis ongoing coverage — or lackthereof — is an ongoing processthat requires proper recognition,sufficient dedication and a support-ive audience. The Egyptian peoplehave spoken, and their voices havebeen heard, but the fight does notend here. There’s more fascinationwith what the Egyptians are pro-ceeding to do — continuously set-ting precedents of bringing down adictator, bringing change and bring-ing hope.

Supporting projects like TheDelta Project does not only showsupport for the Pharaoh Land, butalso portrays a different perspectiveon the country from within and final-ly without American or Europeaninterference. As the demand for realjournalism increases, and more peo-ple are speaking up across theglobe, the need for honesty, free-dom and justice has not been higherin years. As today’s youth andtomorrow’s future, it is key for us torecognize the struggle and toapplaud and appreciate hard work.

COMMENT OF THE DAY

I t was a Tuesday afternoonduring the spring semester,and all I can remember is my

phone constantly vibrating duringclass. It was being overloaded withtexts, emails, instant messages andevery single social media outletpossible. “Something was happen-ing back home,” I thought tomyself. “Something is happeningin Egypt.” I quietly slipped out ofclass and exited the building.Suddenly, my lungs grew tight,and I realized that something feltdifferent in the air.

Little did I know that it wasTuesday, January 25, 2011, onwhich the world was about towitness a third-world countrymake history.

It had been sixyears since I movedfrom Alexandria,Egypt, the nativecountry of my her-itage from whichmy parents emigrat-ed 25 years ago.Since then, I’vebeen in constant contact with every-thing and everyone in Egypt. Phonecalls were made twice a week,emails were exchanged often, Al-Jazeera was bookmarked as myhomepage, and an Arabic satellitedish was installed in my home.Despite my multiple outlets leadingback to home, being updated on therevolution was nothing less thanfrustrating, and once connectionswere cut off, it was simply terrifying.

Many lessons were learned dur-ing the 18-day revolution. This Arabnation proved to the world that giv-ing up was not an option, unitybrought love and togetherness with-in the people, change would sweepover the pharaoh land and — mostimportantly — the Middle Eastbadly needs more quality journal-ists. And just like that, the demandfor Arabic-speaking journalists sky-rocketed for the first time. Thistime, they weren’t needed for ter-rorist translations. Al-Jazeera’s view-ing rates also jumped, and peoplearound the world demanded more.Their thirsts were not quenchedbecause of the lack of proper cover-age from the Western media.People needed to know what wasgoing within.

ROWAIDA ABDELAZIZLetter A lcohol, amongst the old-

est of intoxicants, is aliveand well on the Banks of

the Old Raritan — and just abouteverywhere else in the world. It isa wonderful thing when usedappropriately, complete with someslight health benefits and a nice lit-tle buzz. As an intoxicant, though,it is strictly regulated here in theUnited States and elsewhere.

The United States has somevery tough drinking laws. Forstarters, the drinking age is 21years old, higher than anywhereelse in the world. Laws regardingthe sale, purchase and consump-tion are becoming tougher andtougher every day.

The U.S. drinking age is higherthan the drinking ages of manydeveloped countries for many legit-imate reasons. In theory, it lowersthe likelihood of young peopledrinking. However, in limiting theexposure of young people to alco-hol, the United States has madethe substance a sort of Holy Grail.It is now something that peoplestrive for and want to obtain.

The sad fact is that alcohol is aneveryday part of millions of stu-dents’ lives, regardless of whetherthey are over the legal age orunder it. Because of this, collegesand universities are in a verytough spot: Students want todrink. Going from party to partyand bar to bar night after night isthe prime pastime of many stu-dents. Many students are drawn tocolleges, which have such alcohol-heavy social scenes, and theUniversity is certainly one of thoseschools that can provide such ascene. Walk down College Avenueon any given night, and you willsee students searching for partiesand hoping just to get in.

events — drinking is a huge part ofthose experiences as well. While Iwas walking through just one smallsection of the parking lot during lastThursday’s football game againstNorth Carolina Central University, Isaw countless students gettingdrunk with little regard for any-thing else. There were many policeofficers who were doing their jobs,which is keeping people safe. Theywere spending little time examiningthe IDs of every person holding abeer, because, as any rational per-son knows, this is a daunting andalmost unreasonable task at suchan event. It would do very littlebesides distract them from themore pressing task of keeping peo-ple safe. Following this train ofthought, it behooves the Universityto let these students drink, regard-less of age. If the University were tocrackdown on drinking it wouldhave very little real effect. It wouldsimply cause students to be hit withstiff fines for doing something thatisn’t really a big deal. They aren’thurting anyone nor are they doinganything morally wrong. Little canbe done to stop underage drinking,and it is not in the best interest ofstudents or the University to do so.

On top of the daunting amountof effort it requires to strictlyenforce the drinking age, doingso would actually harm theUniversity in major economicways. Students who are tailgatingbuy drinks, food and merchan-dise at football games and othersporting events. Such purchasesare big money makers for theUniversity in these tough eco-nomic times. Ending tailgateswould make it even tougher to fillthe recently expanded, 50,000-plus-seat stadium.

There are few ways to helpresolve this issue. Lowering thedrinking age to 18 would do noth-ing but help the University andhelp students by creating a betterenvironment for regulating

alcohol. If we lower the drinkingage, the tailgates and fraternity par-ties will no longer be the onlysources of alcohol. Alcohol wouldbe easier to access, and thereforewe could do away with the “forbid-den fruit” mentality that makesalcohol so attractive to students.Would it lower the actual consump-tion of alcohol? Almost certainlynot. But it would change the way inwhich alcohol is consumed and theculture that surrounds drinking.

There are economic benefits toa lower drinking age as well. TheUniversity could sell beer amongthe other drinks and concessionsduring games, which would bringin large mounts of money. Maybe,just maybe, such additional profitswould help keep tuition stable, orat least offset some of the ridicu-lous costs for the athletic depart-ment — which has yet to performto expectations. The Universitycould also regulate the sale andconsumption of alcohol in thatnew multi-million dollar stadiumto an extent by limiting salesthroughout the games them-selves. Say, for example, no salesafter the third quarter and none toanyone visibly intoxicated. Thesechanges would by no means makethe problem of excessive alcoholconsumption disappear, but theywould help bring it out into thelight, which would only serve tobenefit students and society.

In fact, of all the schools in theBig East, only the University andWest Virginia University do notsell alcohol somewhere in theirstadiums — and West Virginia isnow looking to change that. Theonly people who aren’t drinking,it seems, are not those who aren’tlegally allowed to, but those whosimply don’t want to. From mypoint of view, that number is hor-ribly low.

“Like most teams here atRutgers, our leadership will comefrom the seniors.” he said. “Wehave three quite accomplishedgirls in Jennifer Holzberg, MorganIvey and Leonora Slatnick. Eachand every one of them brings thecomplete package. They are dedi-cated to this sport and have beeneverything I could have asked forin terms of leadership.”

The season kicks off on Sep.15 against NJIT and like everyseason, starting off on the rightfoot against their in-state rivalscould help going forward in theseason in many ways.

“Our match against NJIT is justa scrimmage,” Bucca acknowl-edged. “But it’s always differentwhen there’s an actual opponent onthe other side of the court. It willcertainly help to test where we arethough two weeks into the season.”

After the scrimmage come thereal challenges, as the Knightscompete with the country’s best inthe Brown and USTA Invitationals,as well as the ITA Regionals.

“With strong play through theentire fall season, we’ll be able tosend a nice contingent of Rutgersplayers to the major champi-onships.” Bucca said. “Hopefullywe’ll be ready.”

“I didn’t realize how hardthose guys work down there,” hesaid. “But after just getting used toit, I’m getting my fight enduranceup. It’s just coming natural to me,using my hands. Whoever strikesfirst is going to win.”

But the transition was notunprecedented, as Abreu andBooker faced similar fates duringspring practice.

T exas A&M isplanning to be the lat-est team to change con-

ferences after SEC presidentsvoted to accept them as the13th team in the conference.

But teams like Iowa Stateand Baylor retained their rightto sue the SEC and TexasA&M over the legality of theAggies’ conference change.

The SEC had receivedassurance from the Big 12 thatthey could accept Texas A&Mas a member.

What they did not know atthe time they receivedapproval was that that assur-ance applied to the Big 12 as awhole, not individual teamswithin the conference.

THE NEW YORK Giantsadded another starter’s nameto the list of players who sus-tained season-ending injury.

Starting middle linebackerJonathan Goff’s season wasover before it started after hetore his ACL upon collidingwith a teammate on Mondayduring practice.

Goff joins cornerbackTerrell Thomas, linebackerClint Sintim and second-roundpick Marvin Austin on the listof players out for the season.

The injury bug has openeddoors to the field for playerssuch as Mark Herzlich, one ofthe undrafted free agents tomake the Giants’ squad.

PEYTON MANNING WASofficially ruled out for the Colts’season opener against theTexans, bringing his streak of227 consecutive starts (includ-ing the playoffs) to an end.

The 38-year-old KerryCollins will start in his place.

Manning’s consecutivestarts streak is the secondlongest of its kind, behindonly Brett Favre.

There is no word on whenManning will return.

STEPHEN STRASBURG didnot disappoint in his first start inmore than a year after undergo-ing Tommy John surgery.

UNC interim head coach Everett Withers coached in the NFLwith the Titans and Vikings before joining the Tar Heels’ staff.

Pittsburgh offense new coordinatorFrank Cignetti ran last season.

“I think it’s more of an offensegoing back to what coachSchiano has done previously —running the football and playaction pass,” Withers said.

The Tar Heels gave the first-year head coach a 42-10 victoryin his debut last week, and he inturn gave the game ball toSchiano’s close friend, Davis.

Withers has only a little morethan a month at the helm, asUNC fired Davis just before thestart of training camp, and littlechanged philosophically for theTar Heels.

“I think probably the biggestchallenge was the offense get-ting to know my temperament,”Withers said. “Our of fensiveline kids me all the timebecause our offensive line isright next to the secondar yroom. They gave me a lot ofcrap the past two years aboutgetting on those guys in thatroom, and they say, ‘Coach, welove when we hear you gettingafter those guys.’

“Now they get a chance to hearme get after them a little bit. It’sbeen a very good transition.We’ve had very little hiccups andit’s been fairly smooth.”

Mike Mulqueen has seen a lotover the past 30 years as the

Rutgersm e n ’ sc r o s scountryh e a dcoach.

B u tone thing that has not changed ishis appreciation for the hardwork that goes into being a com-petitive and successful team.

“I really like the preparation,”Mulqueen said. “I like what goesinto preparing for championshipmeets — you know, the behindthe scenes stuff.”

The preparation for this year’sseason began over the summer.

One of the players looking totranslate it into fall success is sen-ior Ben Forrest. As a veteranleader, Forest says the offseasonbenefited the team immensely.

“We had a great summer —got a lot of great miles and work-outs in,” Forrest said. “The firstcouple of workouts we have hadas a team we’ve looked reallyreally good. Everyone’s comeback really strong.”

Forrest will be one of theplayers Mulqueen will rely onthis fall to help the ScarletKnights achieve success in oneof the most competitive confer-ences in the country.

“Ben as a senior and as aleader has a lot of experience andhas scored well on the Big Eastlevel,” Mulqueen said.

Sophomores Curtis Richburgand Chris Banafato, along withnewcomers Christopher Defabioand Anthony Horton, joinForrest. Another runner whogenerated a positive buzz is jun-ior T.J. Bragen, who improvedover the past year.

Steven Miller: What do you remember about playingfor Fred Hill?Eric Young: One thing about Moose is he’s aboutdiscipline and doing things the right way, no matterwhat the conditions were. I remember us going outthere in the cold, and it had snowed earlier in theday, and we used to take groundballs in the park-ing lot outside the RAC. We knew with the snow wewould just get some work in the gym, hit, but not gooutside. Moose being that tough coach, and when Isay tough I mean you’re always going to practiceand you’re always going to do it the right way, hadus go out there and have a good practice. Playingfootball, I was used to playing in all conditions, butbaseball? He just let us know we couldn’t let theconditions affect us mentally or physically. We allhated going out there in the cold snow, but hetreated it like it was a sunny day.

SM: And Dick Anderson coached football then,right?EY: Yeah, and he was another guy who was allabout discipline. He taught me the differencebetween being hurt and being injured. There wasone day in particular where we had a lot guysinjured, and when you were hurt you wore a jerseywith a cross across it for no contact. We had a lot ofguys on the sideline and really couldn’t have agood practice. He called us all in together and waslike, ‘How the hell do you think we’re going to prac-tice if we have everybody on the sidelines? What’sgoing to happen on Saturday? Look, there’s a dif-ference between being injured and being hurt.Injured means you can’t even come out here anddo anything. Sometimes you have to play with a lit-tle pain.’ He went to each guy, and he knew whatwas wrong with you, but he went to each guy,‘What’s wrong with you?’ I think it was my ankle. Hesaid, ‘Oh really? Let’s go. Do what you can do anddo it to the best of your ability.’ That was a greatlesson. That followed me throughout my career.There were times my ankle hurt, my leg hurt, but Ihad to go out and play.

SM: What was it like working on ‘Baseball Tonight?’EY: It was a lot of fun, especially when you get onthe set and the show is exciting. For me it wasalways about being informative, but making sure itwas entertaining, as well, to keep the viewers inter-ested. That gave me a different perspective fromthe media standpoint to see how guys operate.That was good to see how the media sees thegame. Before I was a player, now I’m a coach, soI’ve seen three different aspects of how peoplewatch a baseball game.

SM: Do you like being back in uniform?EY: I really love this game so much. This is the clos-est to being back on the field, as a coach andeventually a manager. I know this is where I want tobe. Watching kids succeed is just like watching myson, Eric Jr.

SM: Do you like playing against Eric Jr. and theRockies?EY: Of course. I get a chance to see my son. I wishwe could play the Rockies 30, 40 or 50 times.

“T.J. had a good second half ofthe season and a good summer oftraining. He looks good,”Mulqueen said.

While the Big East appears tobe as competitive as ever thisyear, Forrest, an astrophysicsmajor, likes the challenge theKnights are up against.

“It’s difficult,” Forrest said. “Ithink running is one of the sportswhere you have to compete withyourself just as much as you’re com-peting with the people next to you.”

One thing the Knights do nothave to worry about is their aca-demic success.

The Big East and NCAAeach recognized Rutgers thisyear for its success in the class-room, something Mulqueenbelieves translates to successon the course.

“I think the better the guys feel about school and the less worrisome they feelabout schoolwork, they canfocus on running more,”Mulqueen said.

Rutgers looks to start of f theseason strong this Saturdaywhen it travels to New York tocompete in the Fordham Fiascoand Follies.

The Rutgers women’s crosscountry team faces a daunting

task thiss e a s o nas itlooks tor e m a i ncompeti-tive in

the ever-challenging Big East. With the conference placing

six teams in the Top 25 preseasonpoll, head coach James Robinsonrealizes what lies ahead.

“We are trying to make ourway into the middle of thebunch at this point,” Robinsonsaid. “Right now for us, topeight would be our biggest goalthis year.”

Making the goal a realitylies within a team mixed with

youth and experience, as the Scarlet Knights return six upperclassmen.

Lone senior Kelly Flanniganreturns for her final season andtakes on a leadership role onceagain. She believes the numberof upperclassmen will help theteam as a whole.

“We have a great group ofupperclassmen that will hopefully lead the team inbeing more experienced,”Flannigan said.

Junior Jennifer Spitzer agrees.“Last year, we were all really

young and now we are a yearolder and that much more experi-enced,” Spitzer said.

Flannigan and Spitzer, alongwith junior Anjelica Brinkofskiand sophomore BriannaDeming, the team’s MVP lastseason, will tr y to reachRobinson’s goal of becoming

competitive this year in the Big East.

Also looking to contribute tothis year’s team are two promis-ing freshmen in FeliciaO’Donnell and Allison Payenski,both of whom were sub-five-minute 1,600-meter runners atthe high school level.

The Knights’ youth providescompetitive depth, which theteam has not experienced in quitesome time.

“Now we add to the mix twofreshmen, which is exciting andbrings our depth to about ninecompetitive kids, which issomething that we haven’t hadhere in many, many years,”Robinson said.

Assistant coach Jan Merrill-Morin is also excited to see howthis year’s underclassmen perform.

“We have some new freshmenin. We have some sophomores

that have made some big jumpsfrom last summer,” Merrill-Morin said. “It’s going to help usround out to be a lot strongerteam this year.”

While the team keeps lookingto improve on the track, one thingthat seems to remain a constantfor the Knights is their academicsuccess. The Big East honoredboth the men’s and women’steams last season for their suc-cess in the classroom.

Flannigan, a public healthmajor, believes both success inthe classroom and in cross coun-try go hand in hand.

“When you’re doing well aca-demically, it makes it easier to dowell athletically,” she said.

The Knights look to begintheir season on a good note onSaturday as they head to theBronx to compete in the FordhamFiasco and Follies.

All signs point to MohamedSanu handling punt return dutiesSaturday for the Rutgers footballteam against North Carolinaafter Mason Robinson suffered aseason-ending knee injury.

The junior wide receiverreturned 17 punts — and faircaught many more — as a truefreshman, before Robinson tookover the job last season.

Without Robinson, headcoach Greg Schiano said hewould likely rely upon Sanu’sexperience, although he alsonamed sophomores Quron Prattand J.T. Tartacoff and freshmanMiles Shuler as options.

Shuler lined up to receive apunt in the opener, but called fora fair catch.

“It’ll probably be Mo,” Schianosaid. “He’s the most experienced.But there will be other guys.We’re going to mix it up. Therewill not be one guy, probably.”

While Pratt works on fieldingpunts with wide receivers coachP.J. Fleck every day before prac-tice, he intimated he does notexpect to fill the role against UNC.

“I feel really good back there,”he said, “but I know MohamedSanu will do a great job.”

Sanu averaged only 3.9 yardsper return as a true freshman,with a long of 13 yards.

He opted to call for fair catches on most of his return

opportunities — not necessarilya bad thing for a punt-block ori-ented special teams unit.

“Fielding the ball [is the mostimportant part of returningpunts],” Sanu said.

Robinson showed more of awillingness to take risks, whichresulted in a 60-yard touch-down return last season againstSouth Florida.

Five USF defenders sur-rounded Robinson, but he squirt-ed out of the crowd and wentuntouched to the end zone. Heattempted a similar return in lastweek’s opener, but the NorthCarolina Central unit broughthim down.

“There’s a lot that goes intoit,” Sanu said. “There’s the flightof the ball, if it turns over or not,if you have to run back for it, thewind conditions, how high it isand the situation.”

THE WEEK 1 OFFENSIVEline, which did not allow anysacks against North CarolinaCentral, may remain intact if sen-ior left guard Desmond Wynncontinues his quick recoveryfrom an apparent knee injury.

Schiano appeared pes-simistic early in the week, butWynn was more involved in yes-terday’s practice after redshirtfreshman Betim Bujari handledmost of the first-team repetitionsearlier in the week.

“There’s a chance [Wynn]might play,” Schiano said. “We

won’t play him unless he’s closeto full-go. I think Betim has had agood week so far, as well. We’llplay that by ear.”

SCHIANO HOPES TO GIVEsophomore running backJeremy Deering more of a work-load against North Carolina afterhe had only two carries and adropped pass in Week 1.

The Leto, Fla., native’s experience as a Wildcat quarterback, wide receiver andrunning back make him a ver-satile option in offensive coor-dinator Frank Cignetti’soffense, which Schiano said heexpects to see more of afterlast week’s bland samplingagainst Rutgers’ FootballChampionship Subdivisionopponent.

JUNIOR DEFENSIVE ENDMarvin Booker continues to domore in practice after sufferingan undisclosed injury againstNorth Carolina Central.

He will join a defensive endrotation with senior MannyAbreu and sophomores MichaelLarrow, Ka’Lial Glaud andMarcus Thompson if able to play.

“The good thing is we havea five-man rotation at thedefensive end and R position,”Schiano said. “If Book cangive us any help, he’ll be afifth. He’s done some stuf f,but when I watch the tape Idon’t see that pop. I think he’s

Coach cites goal of top-eight finish in conference

BY STEVEN MILLERSPORTS EDITOR

Of all the praise Rutgers headfootball coach Greg Schiano doledout toward North Carolina earlier

this week,p e r h a p s

none was more warranted than thatdirected at sophomore quarter-back Bryn Renner.

Countless Tar Heels are NFL-caliber players, according toSchiano, but Renner is a “BabyBrett Favre.”

“I can see why [he’s calledthat],” Schiano said. “He’s mobileand he can make every play. Not aball hit the ground on Saturday,which is — I don’t know if I’ve everseen that in a college footballgame. He’s good, very good.”

Renner completed 22-of-23 pass-es to North Carolina receivers, andJames Madison intercepted the first-year starter’s only incompletion.

And it came as no surprise to UNCinterim head coach Everett Withers.

“I’ve seen it all summer to behonest with you,” said Withers,who took over for Butch Davis.“Nobody expects the ball not to hitthe ground during a ballgame, butI’ve seen the guy light it up all sum-mer. The thing that’s remarkableabout the guy is he’s his own worstcritic. He’ll complete a deep balland be upset he didn’t make theright read or take his full drop.He’ll be yelling at himself about it.”

Former Tar Heel quarterbackT.J. Yates picked Rutgers apart for425 yards and four touchdowns intheir past two meetings — 44-12and 17-13 UNC wins.

The Scarlet Knights managed acombined three sacks in those twogames, but after a nine-sack openerand Schiano calling a fasterdefense, pressure is the focus.

“We definitely have to get afterhim,” said senior defensive tackleJustin Francis. “He’s a guy that if hesits back there, he’s going to pick

The first time Ka’Lial Glaud playeddefensive line for the Rutgers football

team, the jun-ior felt like

he lost 15 pounds of water weight.The former linebacker moved to

defensive end after the first day ofScarlet Knights training camp, join-ing senior Manny Abreu and juniorMarvin Booker, also former mem-bers of the linebacker corps.

While Booker still feels theeffects of an injury he suffered in

the Knights’ season openeragainst North Carolina Central,the trio of defensive ends mustnow prepare for a North Carolinastarting offensive line that aver-ages 319 pounds.

“They’re pretty good,” Glaud saidof the Tar Heels’ o-line, which returnsits entire left side. “They’re men justlike we’re men. They’re pretty bigguys, but I’m excited to play them.”

At 6-foot-2, 230 pounds, and 6-foot-3, 260 pounds, respectively, Glaudand Abreu face a daunting task onSaturday as part of a potentially five-man rotation at defensive end.

The challenge appears evenmore taxing with Booker questionable to suit up againstthe Tar Heels.

The result is likely a revolvingdoor at defensive end, with MichaelLarrow, who played defensive tacklelast season, and Marcus Thompson,who spent the spring at fullback andlast season at linebacker, also figur-ing into the equation.

Defensive line coach PhilGaliano will monitor the unit’s sub-stitutions, and they will likely befree-flowing at Kenan MemorialStadium in Chapel Hill, N.C., said

head coach Greg Schiano.“We’re playing against the best

offensive line we’ll probably see,”Schiano said. “They’re good. Webetter have some fresh guys outthere. Now, we’ll have some fresh,young guys. Welcome to the realworld. We’ll see.”

Glaud earned his first sack as adefensive end a week ago againstNC Central, but admitted he wasinitially skeptical about moving tothe d-line from his spot as the first-team middle linebacker.

The Rutgers women’s tennisteam is readying itself for yet anoth-er fall season.

Whether it’s on the court, in the classroom or in the commu-

nity, thisS c a r l e t

Knights team continues to inspirehead coach Ben Bucca as the fallseason approaches.

“We teach them to just do thingsthe right way.” Bucca said. “Peopleare inspired when given the oppor-tunity to do something that intereststhem. It’s never been forced. It justseems to come natural to this team.”

Unfortunately for the ScarletKnights, the team will be withoutstandout athlete, Amy Zhang, forthe first time in four years followingher graduation.

Zhang finished her senior sea-son with a 16-6 singles record and

earned a spot on the All-Big Eastteam for the third year in a row.

Zhang also won multiple scholas-tic awards, including being namedthe 2010 Big East Scholar Athlete ofthe Year. She was also one of only 90people worldwide to be named aGates Cambridge Scholar.

There’s no doubt that Zhang’spresence will be missed on thisteam, but Bucca still has plenty offaith in his squad, which finishedwith a 16-7 record last spring andcompeted as a sixth seed in the BigEast Tournament.

“The freshmen are the key,” Buccasaid. “Thankfully, there’s already beenvery positive interaction with the restof the players of the team. There’s avery strong spirit right now.”

When it comes to leadership,Bucca knows that with Zhang gone,a new person has to step up and bethe voice for the team. Bucca saidTHE DAILY TARGUM
