Students take advantage of textbook rentalsBY JEFF PRENTKY

STAFF WRITER

All campus bookstores are giving students theopportunity to save on textbooks with the introductionof the University’s rental program.

Many students are taking advantage of the programthis semester, said John Cusick, general manager forBarnes & Noble College Booksellers at the University.

“It’s just one additional way to save students fromthe price of new textbooks,” he said.

Rental books are 55 percent cheaper than new text-books, and about one-quarter of all books at theUniversity’s bookstores may be rented, Cusick said.There is a wide range of books available for rent, span-ning from introductory to graduate courses.

Rental books are due back 10 days after the last dayof finals, Cusick said. If students are away from cam-pus at that time, they can go online, print out a free-shipping label and mail the book to the store.

Toward the end of the semester, four messages willbe sent to students via e-mail or text message remind-ing them to return their books, he said.

New Jersey Books Manager Bob Thiel said thestore plans to implement a similar rental program bythis spring semester or next fall.

For many of the brothers of Delta Epsilon Psi, the issue ofPakistani flood relief hits close to home.

“My family is in Karachi,” saidOmar Khan, a School ofEnvironmental and BiologicalSciences sophomore. “There is a lot ofcommotion going on there because ofthe flood, because of the violencethat’s going on.”

The brothers of the Delta Epsilon Psifraternity, the self-proclaimed national

South Asian service fraternity, arespending much of their time away fromclass this week asking for donations tohelp the victims of Pakistan’s floods.

About 200,000 people have dieddue to flooding and about two mil-lion are left homeless, Khan said.

The fraternity set up a table onthe ground floor of the RutgersStudent Center on the CollegeAvenue campus with just one thing on it — a big, clear jug.

Parking authority arrests for theftBY COLLEEN ROACHE

ASSOCIATE NEWS EDITOR

A total of six NewBrunswick Parking Authorityemployees are accused of stealing nearly $3,000 in park-ing fees from the NBPA,according to a news releasefrom the Middlesex CountyProsecutor’s Office.

Police arrested four of theemployees, Thevio Eliscar, 30,and Hicham Saadi, 39, both ofNew Brunswick, and Emil Hanna,55, and Emad Naguib, 47, both ofOld Bridge in June, according tothe release.

“This behavior won’t be toler-ated,” said Mitch Karon, execu-tive director of the NewBrunswick Parking Authority.

The officers were responsiblefor watching over automated pay-ment machines from 10 p.m. to 4a.m. and assisting customers whopaid to park at the Ferren Malland Lower Church Street parkingdecks in New Brunswick, accord-ing to the release. Between May13 and May 15, the officersallegedly took nearly $3,000,which was to be deposited in theautomatic payment machines.

The investigation into thetheft began after Alan A. Rockoff,

executive director of the NewJersey State Commission ofInvestigation, handed informa-tion developed by the SCI over tolocal authorities, according tothe release.

Police arrested Eliscar onJune 25 on charges of officialmisconduct, theft of more than$500, computer theft for usingNBPA payment machines to stealabout $1,200 and tampering withpublic records by disabling asecurity camera before stealingthe payments, according to the release.

The New Jersey Department of Labor and WorkforceDevelopment reported a rise in the state unemploymentfor the first time since December, setting a grim outlookfor New Jersey residents.

According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, NewJersey’s unemployment rate peaked at 10.3 percent inJanuary of this year and then fell steadily to 9.6 percentin June. But July numbers rose again to 9.7 percent.

“Even though employment is up nationally, in NewJersey it has remained basically flat,” said University pro-fessor of economics and public policy Joseph Seneca.“All eyes are going to be on the national employmentresults that come out [today]. Without a sustainedincrease in aggregate demand, labor market condi-tions will remain weak.”

The Bureau of Economic Analysis also releasedits quarterly Gross Domestic Product report on Aug.27, which indicates that the GDP only grew by 1.6 percent.

Campaign encourages female political participation

BY REENA DIAMANTESTAFF WRITER

With constant headlines offemale politicians like formerAlaskan Gov. Sarah Palin andJustice Elena Kagan in thenews, it would seem likewomen are becoming moreactive in politics.

But only 24 percent of statelegislators in the nation arewomen, according to theUniversity’s Center for AmericanWomen and Politics.

Since its inception in July, the2012 Project hopes to be a cata-lyst for change.

The 2012 Project is a non-par tisan, national campaigncreated to encourage andinspire women over 45 years ofage to run for of fice in 2012,said Deborah Walsh, director ofthe CAWP who is leading the project.

“We are partnering with afaculty of current and formerelected women of ficials toattend meetings and network-ing events to recruit womenand tell them, ‘Here, you’veaccomplished so much, you’vebroken the glass ceiling andrunning for of fice could be thecapstone of your career,’”Walsh said.

The campaign is primarilyfocusing on the year 2012because it is a year of opportu-nity, she said. The projectworks by taking advantage ofnext year’s redrawing of statedistrict lines.

Every decade the govern-ment takes a national census,Walsh said.

“After the census, whenevery state gets its data on pop-ulation — depending on thepopulation — different congres-sional districts and state dis-tricts are redrawn, because thegoal within the state and acrossthe country is to make everydistrict about even,” she said.

Stacy Mason, the 2012Project campaign manager, saidwhen district line redrawing — aprocess called reapportionment— occurs, states gain seats ofrepresentation and some stateslose seats.

These newly gained seatsgive a chance for new candidatesto run for office, providing anopportunity for women to run,Mason said.

“When there is an incum-bent member in the state legis-lature, they have a biggeradvantage in winning a seatagain because they’re morewell known, have a record orhave campaign money,” shesaid. “It’s always better for newcandidates. These womenaround the countr y we’rerecruiting are all new — theyhave a better chance.”

Mason said the 2012 Projecthopes to be a reflection of theyear 1992 — known in the polit-ical world as the “Year of the Woman.”

It was the only year whenthere was a huge surge of the number of women elected

into office, Mason said. The leading reason for the surgewas reapportionment.

“That didn’t happen in 2002,and that’s why we’re trying sohard to do it in 2012,” she said.

Since the early ’90s, there isstagnation in the number ofwomen running for of fice,Walsh said. CAWP conductedresearch to look into the issue.

They found it was notbecause women weren’t win-ning elections, but because theydid not become candidates in

the same numbers as men.“When women run they win at

the same rate that men do,”Mason said.

CAWP also researched whywomen are less likely to run for apolitical position and discoveredthere were family barriers pre-venting women from running,she said.

Women are the primar ycaregivers, Mason said. Thecareer of a politician is verydemanding and filled with travel and long, odd hours,which makes it too dif ficult

for a woman to provide for her family.

Political parties are also lesslikely to recruit women and askthem to run for office, she said.The 2012 Project is taking thenecessary steps to overcomethis issue.

Another major reason is thatwomen in general do not self-identify themselves as candidatesas easily as men do, Mason said.

The 2012 Project is inspiringand engaging women who are older because they havefewer family responsibilities, Walsh said.

The campaign is also recruit-ing women who have been suc-cessful in particular professionalsectors, because they are morelikely to realize they can make adifference and also more likely toself identify as a candidate,Mason said.

Although the 2012 Project istargeting women who are over 45,women who have underrepresent-ed professions in government,such as business and finance, sci-ence and technology, energy,environment, international affairsand health care, are also targetsfor the campaign, Walsh said.

The project aims to showwomen they can make a differ-ence when they are in office, bothat the state and federal level, shesaid. Women bring a new per-spective in government legisla-tions that protect women, familiesand children.

Women are more likely tocross party lines and work with

the opposite party in a collabora-tive way than men, Mason said.

The 2012 Project also con-nects with women by goingaround the country and attend-ing conferences where femaleprofessionals come together,Walsh said.

“The organizers at these meet-ings love us to come,” she said.“They said that nobody has everspoken to them about politics. Weask them to think about them-selves as political people and whythey should run for office.”

Walsh said the 2012 Projectalso provides women with thecampaign training resources atthe state and national level thatwill help women run for of fice.

“If we let 2012 slip away, wehave 10 more years to work,” she said.

Some University students feelthere needs to be more concen-tration and encouragementamong a much younger genera-tion of women in office.

School of Arts and Sciencessenior Urooj Abbas thinks it is agood idea to persuade women torun within the next two yearsbut is unsure how older femalecandidates would appeal toyoung voters.

“There should be a focus inthe long run, within the next 10years of recruiting youngerfemales,” Abbas said. “Becausein the next 10 years, when ourgeneration becomes the law-makers, the views of the generation before us maybecome obsolete.”

F o r m e rExecutive VicePresident T.Alexander Ponddied Sunday at age85 in his Vermont home.

Edward J.Bloustein, who waspresident of theUniversity at thetime, appointedPond in 1982 as executivevice president and chief aca-demic officer, according to aUniversity press release.

Prior, he served as theexecutive vice president ofthe State University of NewYork at Stony Brook and waschair of its PhysicsDepartment.

Together Bloustein andPond, worked to improve theUniversity’s prominence byforming relationships withstate and federal officials,expanding research facilities,starting new technology cen-ters and attracting interna-tionally renowned scholars,according to the release.

After Bloustein’s death in1989, Pond took over as theacting president before 1990, when Francis L.Lawrence assumed the permanent position.

“Because of Alec, theUniversity appointed and sup-ported outstanding faculty

who elevated thestature andresearch profile ofRutgers and estab-lished nationallydistinguished pro-grams in manyfields,” saidU n i v e r s i t yPresident RichardL. McCormick in astatement. “These

achievements led directly toRutgers’ admission to theAssociation of AmericanUniversities in 1989.”

Working close with lead-ers like then Gov. ThomasKean and the Commission onScience and Technology,Pond was able to help shapepolicy to make majorimprovements in theUniversity’s science and tech-nology programs.

But Pond was also proudof building academic excel-lence in the social sciencesand humanities as well,according to the release.

“Alec Pond will beremembered as a consummate builder of aca-demic excellence across alldisciplines,” said VicePresident for Health SciencePartnerships KennethBreslauer in a statement.

LEAVE ‘EM LAUGHING

While the first quarterincrease in GDP more than dou-bled what was reported for thesecond quarter, James W.Hughes, dean of the Edward J.Bloustein School of Planning andPublic Policy, explained that real-istically growth GDP has beenlowering because unemploymentrates are rising.

“What’s been happening isgrowth GDP has been deceleratingthe last several quarters,” Hughessaid. “What happened in the lastrecession … GDP started growingagain, but employment continuedto decrease for 21 months.”

He added that the numberfrom the Bureau of LaborStatistics known as the U-6 statis-tics — which represents thosewho are unemployed but still

actively searching for work, thosewho are unemployed and notactively looking for work andthose who have been fortunateenough to find work part-time butare still looking for full-time work— is at a staggering 16.5 percentas of July.

Along with therising unemploy-ment rates, econo-mists predict thatNew Jersey will beone of the laststates in the coun-try to recover fromthe recession,despite being oneof the first to enter it, according toa report by The Star-Ledger.

Hughes rationalizes the slowrecovery by explaining that NewJersey, over the past decade,developed a reputation for being“business unfriendly.”

“New Jersey isn’t a manufac-turer state,” he said, adding thatthe majority of the sectors that

have made a successful comebackfrom the recession have beenthose states that are manufacturerstates, including New York.

Hughes said another reasonfor the slow recovery is that NewJersey’s unemployment rate actu-ally declined a month after the

rest of the coun-try.

“The peak ofthe nation’semployment wasin December2007. NewJersey’s peak wasJanuary of 2008,”he said. “New

Jersey has been lagging behindthe nation for more than adecade, so that is one of the rea-sons to expect us to lag comingout of the recession.”

For some recent college grad-uates, these statistics are nothingshort of discouraging.

Giuliano Messina, a Universitygraduate student, attempted to

find work in the engineering field,but had no luck.

“The difficulty lies in literallyfinding the work. The vast majorityof openings call for people withyears of experience, so sometimes itgets disheartening when you keepcoming across openings for onlyexperienced engineers,” Messinasaid. “You feel like you’re getting caught up in this catch-22 of ‘you need experience to get work, but you need work to get experience.’”

Seneca said the main thing thatwill restore confidence for NewJersey residents is to see a rise inemployment above all things.

“The key issue in this econo-my has been and remains to beabout employment,” he said. “It isjob growth that will restore con-sumer confidence, restore thehousing market, improve thebusiness outlook and consumerspending. That has been andremains the No. 1 national eco-nomic problem.”

Livingston College seniorIoaki Sanchez rented threebooks for 300 and 400-level class-es this semester to save money.

“I’m broke, so I try to spendthe least amount of money aspossible,” Sanchez said. “I endup selling the books back any-way, and I don’t get too muchfor them.”

Sanchez likes that the returndate is reasonable and that hecan write and highlight in the books.

“It’s like having your ownbook, but you just can’t destroyit,” Sanchez said.

The rental price is worth itbecause buying a book, even aused one, and trying to sell itback is not an efficient use ofmoney, he said.

“It’s cheaper than buyingused, and it’s cheaper than buy-ing them brand new and tryingto get your money back,” he said.“You can’t lose.”

But for students who willneed to keep their textbooks asreferences in the future, such asphysicians or engineers, therental program may not be asuseful, Sanchez said.

Compared to chegg.com, acollege textbook rental website,the University’s rental programis more expensive but geo-graphically more convenient,said Nicole Fisher, a School ofArts and Sciences junior. Andwhere the University gives stu-dents two weeks after finals toreturn books, chegg.comrequires the books to bereturned just a few days afterfinals begin, she said.

“I don’t use Chegg. I’d ratheruse Rutgers and walk down hereand give the book back,” Fishersaid, noting that she might forgetto return the book otherwise.

Fisher said she usually keepsher textbooks after the semesterends, because she has troubleselling them after.

Still, she said renting could bea more reasonable option forpricier textbooks.

“If [the store] only gives you$30 [when buying back a moreexpensive book], you might aswell have rented it for $70,” she said.

Mohammed returned twoweeks ago to the Universityfrom his family’s home inPakistan’s Punjab province.

The family’s property, savedby a dam that withstood anincrease of 30 feet of water, wasspared from the flooding which destroyed many sur-rounding areas.

Jhelum, a city of more than one-quarter million peoplenamed after the river nearby, was evacuated,Mohammed said.

The final day of thefundraiser is today, and thebrothers encourage students tohelp the ef fort.

“They need aid, medicalsupplies, food and clothing,”Khan said. “There are pregnantwomen giving bir th to theirbabies in areas infected withmalaria. The newborns easilycontract the disease.”

Old fictiontells storiesof womenworking

BY MIKE DAVISCONTRIBUTING WRITER

Real-world hardships prevailover romantic tales in a genre ofnovels popularized during a timewhen women flooded a post-warcareer market full of appealingnew jobs.

Nancy Rosoff, a Rutgers-Camden historian, collaboratedwith Stephanie Spencer of theUniversity of Winchester in theUnited Kingdom to identify about200 individual works as career nov-els. Their search has producedsuch titles as “Air Hostess Ann,”“Margaret Becomes a Doctor” and“June Grey Fashion Student.”

“We’re interested in how fic-tion was used as an informalmeans of education for younggirls,” Rosoff said.

Their work with the careernovel is part of a larger projectbetween Rutgers-Camden and theUniversity of Winchester thatdives into the construction of fem-ininity in fiction written between1910 and 1960 for teenage girls.

Career novels centralize onthe hardships that come with aparticular industry for youngwomen, including what to wearand what training is involved.

One of the issues surroundingthe career novel was finding a wayto present realistic and viablecareer options without upsettingthe traditional gender roles wheresociety expected women to eventu-ally return, Spencer said via e-mail correspondence.

These works differ from thelikes of “Sex and the City,” whereCarrie Bradshaw’s job as a colum-nist plays a secondary role to hersocial life. Air hostess Ann’s workovershadows her romance withAlan, a pilot.

“It’s a fictitious account of ayoung woman entering the world ofwork,” Rosoff said. “It’s not justabout ‘Nancy’ who wants to be a TVproducer. It offers actual insightinto the career.”

While a particular career novelmay have been widely known inits time, it probably quietly reced-ed into obscurity, she said.

“It was more about a mundaneday-to-day experience,” Spencersaid. “It was presented often interms of the tensions between acareer and personal life rather thana ‘love conquers all and everyonelives happily ever after’ plot.”

University students can relateto the hardship of finding balancebetween a personal and career lifeand the dual role of worker andwife served as a main conflict incareer stories.

“I definitely feel pressured. I’msure everyone does,” said SarahPace, a School of Environmentaland Biological Sciences sopho-more. “Everyone’s all over theplace with their own personal cal-endars and stressful schedules attheir jobs.”

Rosoff and Spencer view thecareer novel as an alternativeway to teach girls about life aftercompleting classroom education.

“We can surmise what themesand messages appear in a book,”Rosoff said. “But unless you stum-ble upon a diary from a 1950s girlwho says ‘Air Hostess Ann’ reallyinspired her, you can’t quantify ormeasure the effect.”

George Stauffer, a Mason Gross School of the Arts dean, chats with fellow observers Wednesday at the “Intimate Observations” exhibit,on display until Sept. 18 at the Civic Square Building in downtown New Brunswick. The gallery features work by the late artist Lydia Craig.

Professors discover new way to preserve organsBY MITAL GAJJARCONTRIBUTING WRITER

Two professors at Rutgers-Camden have found a way toimprove organ transplant byextending the shelf lives oforgans.

After many years of study,Daniel Shain and Nir Yakoby dis-covered a way to implement thekey gene component responsiblefor ice worms’ ability to thrivepermanently on glaciers.

“We have genetically engi-neered bacteria to turn off a keyregulatory gene associated withenergy metabolism,” said Shain, aprofessor of zoology, via e-mailcorrespondence. “We will be try-ing to do the same thing in fruitflies and human cells.”

These fruit flies, scientifical-ly called Drosophilamelanogaster, are appropriate

model organisms in the biologi-cal sciences and par ticularlygood for genetic manipulationand fur ther research, Shainsaid. The flies serve as the clos-est model for human cells, asthey have about the same num-ber of genes and about thesame number of dif ferent celltypes as humans.

If the flies’ cells can becomecold tolerant, there is a high pos-sibility that human cells can dothe same, which would meanhuman organs could be stored forweeks or months, Shain said.

“The current time window fororgans in transit is approximate-ly 24 hours,” he said. “When adonor dies, most organs go towaste because of the logistics oftransporting body parts all overthe world. The ability to storeorgans for extended time peri-ods would greatly facilitate the

ef ficient use of many organsfrom an individual.”

Sneha Shah, a School of Artsand Sciences sophomore, is opti-

mistic about the possible benefitsto lives of humans.

“I think these new ‘organs onice’ are an unbelievable asset tothe health of people everywhere,”Shah said. “Organs will be able tobe harvested and stored for long-

term use thanks to cold-lovingDrosophila. So many patients willbenefit from this technology.”

Genetically, an enzyme, AMPphosphatase, must be turned offin order to achieve cold toleranceand fruit flies are a logical nextstep to test the idea in a differentorganism, Shain said.

“We have been successful inusing this idea to make bacteriamore cold tolerant,” he said.“Now we want to move up theevolutionary tree to see if thesame trick works in more com-plex organisms.”

Vera Kiyanchenko, a School ofArts and Sciences senior and bio-logical sciences major, believesthe scope of genetics is responsi-ble for this type of research to bevery successful and has thepotential to go very far.

“I realized that gene regula-tion is instrumental to the func-

tion of all living organisms,”Kiyanchenko said. “Having theability to manipulate geneexpression by certain enzymesis impressive.”

Research is an integral part inthe sciences as it is a quest forknowledge, Shain said.

“In many cases, the applica-tion of gained knowledge is notclear, and in some cases it ismore clear,” he said. “Moretangible, perhaps, is that stu-dents at Rutgers will somedayget old and need organ replace-ments. Possibly, the currentresearch will facilitate thismedical procedure.”

The National Institute ofHealth gave a $385,419 grant to aresearch team headed by Shainand Yakoby, an assistant profes-sor of biology at Rutgers-Camdenand an expert Drosophila geneti-cist, Yakoby said.

With scientists hard atwork to discover a newsource of renewable ener-gy, a University professor islooking in one place manymight not think of.

Associate Professor ofcomputer scienceDesmond Lun is in theprocess of finding a way toproduce biodiesel fuel fromE. Coli, according to aUniversity Media Relationspress release.

Lun, a Rutgers-Camdenprofessor, is hopeful thataltering the genetic make-up of E. Coli, biodiesel canbe extracted from the bac-teria’s fatty acids.

“If we can engineer bio-logical organisms to pro-duce biodiesel fuels, we’llhave a new way of storingand using energy,” he saidin the release.

The key to creating fattyacids for biodiesel from E.Coli requires extensivemanipulation, which iswhere his computer sci-ence knowledge comes intoplay, Lun said.

Lun creates computa-tional models of the bacte-ria, allowing him to seewhat would happen if hechanges the genetic make-up of E. Coli.

“We call it syntheticbiology,” he said. “It’s sortof the next stage of genet-ic engineering. Instead ofmaking small changes tospecific genes, we’re real-ly modifying large sec-tions of genome.”

By using his expertisein computer science, Luncan put emphasis on model-ing the bacteria as a way ofguiding it, he said.

“Even these simple bac-teria are immensely com-plex,” Lun said.“Computational modelingcan offer a way to speed upthe process and make it afaster, better process.”

SCIENTISTATTEMPTS TO CREATE

ENERGYFROM E. COLI

A new study shows that SAMe, a populardietary supplement, may help depressedpatients find relief if traditional prescriptionantidepressant treatments do not work,according to The New York Times.

SAMe, which stands for S-adenosylmethionine, a natural molecule widely usedin Europe for depression, arthritis and otherailments, is also found throughout the body,especially in the liver, adrenal glands andbrain, according to the article.

Researchers at Har vard MedicalSchool and Massachusetts GeneralHospital in Boston said this find is notonly an alternative for patients with

depression, but it also could lead to moreeffective treatment in the future, accord-ing to the article.

“There are many directions in researchthat this opens up,” said Dr. George I.Papakostas, director of the Center forTreatment-Resistant Depression atMassachusetts General and the study’slead author. “It provides clues to new treat-ments, and it provides clues to understand-ing what causes depression as well as whatgoes on biochemically when people get bet-ter from depression.”

For more than half of patients withdepression, antidepressants alone do not

relieve symptoms, according to some stud-ies. Traditional antidepressants work byconcentrating neurotransmitters in thebrain, thus amplifying their effect, accord-ing to the article.

While it is unclear how SAMe works toalleviate depression symptoms, researchersthink it could influence the expression ofgenes related to depression, change thefunction of different receptors and struc-tures that transport the brain’s neurotrans-mitters or help create neurotransmitters,according to the article.

told my mother I shot some-one and framed her. She wasoutraged at the thought that Istudied the subject for fouryears then did not want to bea reporter for The New YorkTimes. The third occurrence— probably the worst — waswhen I got hit hard with the

old lady comments after my two housemates, one afirst-year and the other a sophomore, wanted to live itup and party hard in our little apartment. The mosthorrifying realization that a person can have is thatthey sound exactly like their mother, and when I start-ed going on about responsibility and having work inthe morning, I knew something was not right.

These little experiences really got me thinkingabout this weird stage of life that I’m hoping other peo-ple are in besides me. It is almost like we are expectedto make a choice between doing what we are supposedto do and what we want to do. Do you take advantageof the time you have to not be completely responsiblefor anything beside yourself, or do you put yourself ina weird transitional period between your wild and crazy

college years and settling down? It’snot like you graduate and you arethrown into the real world with a job, ahusband/wife and a family to support.But you are also supposed to be pre-pared for the big responsibilities of life,and get a good paying job. It’s hardenough to guarantee a job at all aftergraduation, let alone one that is goingto pay you well.

Life after college is full of contra-dictions. You are supposed to liveyour life to the fullest in this time,

while paying back the debts you wrack up during the“best years of your life.” How can you do one, whiledoing the other? It’s annoying because it all comesdown to money and security and exactly how youobtain these things. Does this seem all like a big ram-ble? Congratulations and welcome to my brain! Theseare all the annoying thoughts that are sparked whenprofessors make comments about graduate school,when financial aid is keeping me on hold for a half-hour and senior year progress alerts are the firstthing I see when checking my e-mail in the morning.

It’s a weird feeling to be finishing up college. Thefirst day of class felt like the beginning of the end,but I’m not exactly sure what it’s the end of.

T he first day of class-es took on a newfeeling for me this

year, as well as the task ofwriting my first column. Mybrain has been a clutter late-ly with lists of all the thingsI needed to get done as thenew school year approachedrapidly. This was my fourth and hopefully final yearat the University. Never had I been more excited tocelebrate my last year of fighting with my motherabout taking out loans, dealing with banks aboutgetting the money and also waiting on hold for 20minute intervals with the financial aid office. I onlyhave one more semester after this to figure out howon earth I am going to afford textbooks and figureout if the ones I absolutely needed last year areworth anything now. It’s my last year to practicallyrun over freshmen as they blindly cross the streetby the River Dorms, and my last year to get emailsfrom good ol’ Jack Molenaar, director of theDepartment of Transportation Services, about morechanges to the bus routes. The saying goes that youshould “write what you know,” andall I know is right now is I’m caughtup in this feeling of lasts.

Since finishing up the spring 2010semester I have been bombardedwith the age old questions of, “So sen-ior year huh … you actually finishingon time?” or the ever-popular, “So sen-ior year, what are you doing after?”Because my initial reaction to thesequestions is the overwhelming urgeto punch the inquisitive person in theface, it has occurred to me that I am inwhat one may call a “quarter-life crisis.” This is not thesame type of age crisis that a 50-year-old father wouldbe going through. My crisis cannot be fixed with lis-tening to techno music, putting on a fedora and tattoo-ing myself with a Batman half-sleeve. My crisis is some-thing more internal and more detrimental to my sanity.

It hit me on a few separate occasions during mysummer break. The first time was when the kids in mycamp group over the summer asked me what grade Iwas going into. When I replied that it was my senioryear of college, they asked what number it was, and ithurt to actually spew that I would be entering the six-teenth grade. Their shocked, “god you are old” lookhasn’t left me since. Then there was the argument —the first of many — with my mother about what I willbe doing after graduation. This spring I hope to be get-ting my bachelor’s degree in journalism, but I’m stillnot sure if that is exactly the field of work most fittingfor me. By her reaction, a person would think I just

“The most horrifyingrealization that

T he Department of Education on Thursday awarded $330million to states in order to aid them in designing newstandardized tests to replace the old reading and math

exams used over the past decade under the No Child Left Behindlaw. The two groups of states that receive the funds will design thetests to be higher quality than the current narrowly focused “bub-ble tests” according to Education Secretary Arne Duncan. Thedepartment also said in a statement that the assessments would“test students’ ability to read complex text, complete researchprojects, excel at classroom speaking and listening assignments,and work with digital media.” And while we believe digital mediahas already found its way into students’ addictive minds, theDepartment of Education receives a laurel for attempting to fixthe wide array of faulty tests and other assessments that hauntstudents across the nation.

The question has been the same whether you watched Fox Newsor MSNBC — should a mosque be built a mere two city blocks awayfrom Ground Zero? Those opposed to building a Muslim communi-ty center so close to the site where a radical Muslim group killedclose to 2,800 people, have demanded developers to relocate theproject. And while those who lost loved ones at the site have theright to be incensed about the mosque, the rest of the nation hasjumped higher than it should have. Without getting into the NewsCorporation involvement in the conflict, the project’s mission ishardly to offend the American people. President Barack Obama andNew York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg both put their supportbehind the project, and perhaps that fired up the people even more.We dart those whose sole mission is to put a stop to a legal and inof-fensive project.

President Obama renewed his Middle East peace talks onWednesday, as he joined the Israeli and Palestinian leaders in anattempt to end the conflict that has endured for six decades. “We arebut five men,” Mr. Obama said. “But when we come together, we willnot be alone. We will be joined by the generations of those who havegone before.”

Despite these hopeful words, the meeting was filled with lists ofdemands between Israel and Palestine. And just like former PresidentBill Clinton’s failed attempt in 2000 led to the Palestinian Intifada, thesewill fail as well. Until we see results, we dart these talks for lackingconviction or proof.

Week in review:laurels and darts

his brand new e-reader, I refusedto even look at it, much less touchthe accursed thing. Every time Iwalked into a Barnes & Noble, Ihad to resist the urge to teardown every Nook display in afit of violent rage.

In hindsight, I find everysingle one of these anecdotesembarrassing. At the time, Iwas convinced that the printbook was clearly superior toits electronic counterpart. Icould take the time to rattle offthe lengthy list of transgres-sions I felt e-books committedagainst print books, but mostof them are admittedly absurd.Instead, I’d rather offer theonly complaint I had againstthe e-book that doesn’t makeme seem like a completelunatic. See, reading a printedbook is a highly physical expe-rience. In order to progressthrough it, you have to manuallymove its pages. The act of readingis not just an intellectual act: It’s abodily experience as well. The e-

book removes this physical con-nection between the body and thebook. Rather than flippingthrough actual pages, the reader

of an e-book presses a button tocontinue. For me, this meantexperiencing books on a purelyconceptual level, without the

added weight of physicality. Thiswas something I couldn’t bringmyself to do.

It wasn’t until recently that Iwas forced to reevaluate mystance on the e-book. Whileresearching the negativeeffects of e-book sales onbrick and mortar bookstores,I came across an essay by thescience fiction author CharlieStross. In the essay, “CMAP#5: Why Books are theLength they Are,” Strosslends his support to the e-book, stating the success ofthe e-book may lead to arevival of non-novel formats,like novellas and serials,which have been flounderingfor some time.

With this one simple state-ment, Stross brought meover to the dark side andshowed me the brilliant light

I’d been missing there all along.If the e-book can revive dead for-mats, it can also create new ones.We are now in a position wherein

we can drastically redefine whatcounts as a book. As Stross saysin his essay, the processes andcosts of printing and bindingusually dictate the lengths ofbooks, and we have come todefine books according to thevery narrow specifications ofpublishing companies. But the e-book frees books from these con-straints, giving writers moreroom to experiment and makingit easier for readers to engagewith these experiments.

So while print books and thestores that sell them may besuffering thanks to e-readers,the state of literature is actuallyin a position to flourish becauseof them. And no matter howentrenched I am in literary tra-dition, the mere promise of pos-sible progress has me positive-ly ecstatic.

gious freedoms and more. Andthat’s without mentioning interna-tional politics.

Before forming an opinion, it’simportant to do two things: Hearthe issue and all its sides and doyour own research about it. Noone can do enough research,especially in this day and age,where classic journalism has metits end.

Usually, news staffs look attwo main criteria before report-ing a breaking story: If it is veri-fied and how much it falls underimmediate, need-to-know infor-mation. Some days one ismore important than the other,like during the Iran post-electionprotests when CNN would go toits Twitter feed for on-the-ground reports so often theyeven put up a graphic explainingeverything they are showing iscurrently unverified. Imagine ifTwitter existed duringthe McCarthy era.

As well, be aware of thesources you rely on and crosscheck with other — even opposite

minded — sources. Modern digi-tal and cable journalism ismarred by concern over viewer-ship rankings and revenue. TheNew York Times reported compa-nies like Gawker Media nowpay writers based partially onhow many readers click on theirarticles. At Politico.com, theTimes reported “top editors, who

rise as early as 4:30 a.m … believePolitico’s very existence depends,in large part, on how quickly itcan tell readers something, any-thing they did not know.” Thisstyle of journalism can easily leadto writers knowingly editing theirreports, aware they’ll getmore views and pay if, say, the

conservative right likes their spinon an issue.

And of course, it is always agood idea to note the possiblepolitical associations any newsorganization has. For example,recently Rupert Murdoch’s NewsCorporation, which is the parentcompany of Fox News, donat-ed $1 million to the RepublicanGovernors Association.Also, through Jon Stewart noless, it has come to light thatSaudi Prince Al-Waleed bin Talal,the very same person Fox News’Dan Senor and Dana Perino werelabeling as a supposed terrorist-tainted backer of the CordobaCommunity Center, actually ownsthe biggest non-Murdoch portionof News Corp.

In the end, after all the infor-mation you receive, all the newsyou read and watch, people maystill label you or claimthey’re “informing” you. Did youcatch how my opening paragraphspecifically mentioned the word“suggestion?” That’s because I’maware that you the reader can

choose to consider my opinion ornot. I’m not telling you to do any-thing; I’m simply suggesting youconsider the detailsbehind opinions before formingyour own.

Be war y of people likeGlenn Beck when they blanklystate “Progressives think theyknow better than you,” yet hegoes on to warn that if we don’tlisten to him “there is fearand hunger ahead of us.” Hemay or may not be right — for-getting the obvious hypocrisy— but it is up to you to figureout yourself, without clingingto one ideology or politicalparty mentality.

Chris Rock once said, sanscurses, “We all got a gang mental-ity. Conservatives are idiots andLiberals are idiots. Anyone whomakes up their mind before theyhear the issue is a fool.” How veryright he is.

Sophomore wide receiver Mohamed Sanu, left, hauled in a 29-yard reception at the end of the first half, leading to a controversial call that gave Rutgers a chance tokick a field goal with one second remaining. Freshman quarterback Chas Dodd, right, made an appearance in the fourth quarter, relieving Tom Savage of his duties.

As the Knights lined up for thesnap, play was whistled dead for areview, which determined Sanuwas, in fact, taken down inbounds.

So Norfolk State attempted toleave the field again.

The impressivecrowd of 46,311offered more boosthan cheers earlyon with the slowstart. The Knights would havehad just three points at the half ifnot for a controversial call thatallowed junior kicker San San Teto boot a chip-shot field goal astime expired.

Te drew the loudest booswhen he missed his secondstraight kick but finished three offive on the day.

Another special teams wrin-kle was Schiano’s usage of sen-ior wide receiver MasonRobinson at punt returner,where he had returns of 28 andone yard, respectively.

The Norfolk State defense sacked sophomore quarterback Tom Savage three times in the first half, taking the Knights’ offense out of rhythm early and often. Savage rebounded with a second half TD toss.


“Nerves,” Savage said on thedifference between the twohalves. “I felt like I was prepared.I went out there and I was aimingthe ball, just trying not to throwan incompletion and that’s notwhat I have to do.”

Te converted from 20 yards —after making his first effort from31 and missing a pair from 40 and50 yards out — and immediatelyran up the tunnel with a 6-0 half-time lead.

This time, Norfolk State didnot want to leave the field, ashead coach Pete Adrian arguedRutgers could not have snapped the ball, but the play stood.

QUARTERBACK CHASDODD was the most notablefreshman to make his Rutgersdebut, appearing in fourth-quar-ter mop-up duty.

The South Carolina native hand-ed the ball to sophomore tailbackDe’Antwan “Rocket” Williams oneach of his first four snaps, whichresulted in a 27-yard field goal byTe. Dodd’s first and only comple-tion was a six-yard toss to redshirtfreshman tight end Paul Carrezola. Also making their debuts andblocking for the 6-foot quarterbackwere freshman guard Betim Bujari

and redshirt freshman guardAntwan Lowery. SophomoreMarcus Cooper made his firstappearance as a defensive back inlate-game duty, but redshirt fresh-man cornerback Logan Ryandebuted in the first half. The Berlin, N.J., native’s first actionwas hardly what he had hoped for,as he was flagged for pass interference, giving Norfolk State15 yards and a first down. Truefreshman Marcus Thompson also made his first appearance,coming in at linebacker late in the game.

SENIOR RUNNING BACKKordell Young, absent for thefinal weeks of training campbecause of personal issues, wasnot at the game.

After undergoing three kneesurgeries in his first four years atRutgers, Young’s role would belimited to a third-down back.

History on RU’s sideheading into weekend

BY BILL DOMKECORRESPONDENT

With a win already under itsbelt, the Rutgers volleyball team

takes at r i pd o w nS o u t ht h i sweekendto the

Delaware Invitational to sample anew trio of teams for the preseason.

But history says these teams arenot so new. In fact, the ScarletKnights hold all-time advantagesagainst each team in the invitational.

“Each team is going to presenta different challenge for us,” saidhead coach C.J. Werneke. “Allthree are different styles of play.”

With this weekend, Wernekewants to take advantage of the dif-ferent schools’ game plans andfocus on cultivating the Knights’side of the net.

While taking the weekendgame by game is important, hebelieves focusing more on hisown side better prepares his teamfor the even more elaborate stylesof attack posed by the Big Eastwhen the season progresses.

“We’re going into that firstmatch more concerned about whatwe do on our side of the net,” hesaid. “Obviously, we’re looking toplay well and control what we canon our side while we’re competing.”

Among problems focused onthis week, more crisp serving andhandling the ball on first contactoff the serve — issues thatplague Rutgers every year —received a lot of emphasis.

“I thought we ended well lastweekend, and we ended on a good

note, some positive things to bringinto this week,” Werneke said. “Ithink we addressed some of ourconcerns and look forward to mak-ing some of those improvementsfrom last weekend to this weekend.”

And coming from last week-end, where the team took its firstwin and narrowly missed out on asecond in the Long Beach StateBaden Classic, signs are pointingto more victories in the first state.

A struggling East Carolinasquad greets Rutgers this after-noon at 4:30 p.m. The Pirateshave yet to win a match this sea-son and against the Knights, whoare 1-0 all-time in the series.

Sam Houston State plays theKnights the following morning at10 a.m. Rutgers has a similar situ-ation with the Bearcats (2-3),owning the only victory betweenthe two teams from 2000, when itswept the series 3-0.

Host school Delaware awaitsthe Knights later that night at 7p.m. The Blue Hens sport a solid3-1 record this season, with theonly loss given at the hands ofVirginia. Rutgers leads the all-timeseries with the Blue Hens 12-10.

Many of Rutgers’ players areconfident coming off of last week-end. Alex Jones and EmmaChrystal put out career perform-ances with 14 and 18 kills, respec-tively, and sophomore setterStephanie Zielinski dished out119 assists.

“If we’re playing the type ofball we want to play, I think ourmiddle to our right side … weneed to get them heavily involvedin our offense,” Werneke said.“On good days and good match-es, we’re going to be pretty toughto beat.”


Sophomore setter Stephanie Zielinski and the Knights travel south this weekend to the DelawareInvite after winning their first game of the season in three tries. Zielinski led the way with 119 assists.

Intensity rises as Knights seek win in home openerBY ANTHONY HERNANDEZ

CORRESPONDENT

Whether it is the fact that theRutgers field hockey team suf-fered back-to-back losses to

b e g i nthe sea-son orthe factthat thes q u a dtakes on

Ohio this afternoon in its homeopener, something changed thisweek during practice.

A newborn intensity flour-ished during the Scarlet Knights’return to the practice field, andfor head coach Liz Tchou’s team,intensity may be just what thedoctor ordered.

With a few changes dialed upto help the spacing among theforwards and midfielders, theoffense aims at flowing betterand converting more effectivelyinside the circle.

“We’re really focusing on theinside of the 25 attack,” saidTchou. “I think the girls are real-ly hungry to win, being that it’sour first home game — they’rereally excited for that.”

Senior captain Jenna Bullechoed her head coach’s game strategy.

“A lot of our drills this weekhave been inside the 25 defen-sively and offensively,” said Bull.“We worked on a lot of the rota-tions between the midfieldersand the forwards.”

THE DAILY TARGUM

Senior captain Jenna Bull leads the Knights into their first home contest of the season todayagainst Ohio. Bull is one of only two seniors on the squad and last year started all 18 games.

OHIO AT RUTGERS, TODAY, 4 P.M.

FIELD HOCKEY

A stagnant offense is whatplagued the Knights last week inHarrisonburg, Va., as the teamfailed to put the ball in the cageagainst James Madison in its sea-son opener. However in theteam’s second game againstWilliam and Mary, Rutgers (0-2)outshot the Tribe, 9-7, and flowed

much better offensively, despitefailing to score.

Replicating a similar attacktoday should prove effective,according to Tchou.

“We want to play off of how weended it at William and Mary inthat we were moving the ball pret-ty well around, but at times we

just hit a snag inside the 25,where the space is kind of com-pressed,” the head coach said.“We need to work on creatingnumbers in situations within the25-yard zone.”

Although inside of the 25 tookon such an emphasized role inthe team’s practices this week,

Bull noted improvements oneach side of the ball.

“We’ve been practicing a lothow we want to play,” Bull said.“It’s been good to have experi-ence and everything like that.”

Sophomore goalie Vickie Lavellis a pivotal part of determining theKnights’ success, as Ohio (1-1)scored six goals last game en routeto a 6-1 victory against Saint Louis.Sophomore Taylor Brown postedfour of the team’s goals, three ofwhich she scored before halftime.

Defensively, the Knights puttogether a solid performanceagainst William and Mary, sur-rendering just two shots on goal.

Lavell, who started 14 of 15games last season, is one of themost experienced underclassmenthe team has to offer. Despite allow-ing seven goals in two games, Bullremains confident in her younggoalie to stuff up shots in the cage.

“Both goalies always play real-ly well at practice. They alwaysgive us good competition,” thecaptain said. “I think [Lavell] def-initely kind of cleaned her slateso I think she went in with a clearmind knowing what she neededto fix. I think we’re looking prettygood heading into tonight.”

Neutralizing the Bobcat attackis crucial if the team is to recordits first victory since Oct. 17, 2009.The Knights allowed at least sixgoals in two of their past threegames, dating back to last season.

The game will get off to itsstart late this afternoon at 4:00p.m. in Piscataway.

pension. “I probably pushedher past what she was evenready for. She’s not ready for90 yet.”

Forced into her first real-game fitness test since tearing anACL nearly a year ago, DeMaio’scorner kicks suffered the mostdown the stretch as the secondhalf wore on. Despite strugglingwith the corners, the Knights stillleft multiple opportunities for aput-back on the pitch.

“It’s something I’m used to asa player,” said DeMaio of theincreased field time. “But comingoff this injury, it’s a process. It’staking me a while to get back. It’sa little bit frustrating not beingable to come out right away anddo the things I used to be able todo. But I just have to keep a posi-tive attitude.”

In the aftermath of Sunday’searly-season loss, Crooks saidthe team handled the week’sadversity well.

“I would classify it as a goodweek of training,” he said. “Ifthere’s one thing that’s certain isthat we’ve got a good group ofkids and we have a common goal.I do think we came togethermore as a team this week. Everyyear it’s a work in progress andsometimes it comes togetherquicker than others.”

The veteran head coach needsa refreshed unit tonight, as visit-ing Princeton offers the Knightstheir second-consecutive NewJersey showdown.

For the Tigers, it’s the firstopportunity to earn a decisionthis year in their season-opener.

Last year’s 2-0 Rutgers victo-r y tied for the most goalsPrinceton gave up all season.With two-time first-team All-IvyLeague goalkeeper Alyssa Pontand conference Co-Rookie ofthe Year Alison Nabatof f

returning on defense, scoringopportunities could once againbe scarce.

“One thing we might do isshare the minutes a little bitmore,” Crooks said. “We maymanage the game plan a littlemore strictly in terms of cer-tain players getting cer tainminutes. We’ve got to manageFriday and Sunday together.Some star ting players, for avariety of reasons — mostlybecause they’re coming off ofinjury — are not prepared to go90 minutes yet.”

Sunday offers the Knightstheir first road test when theytravel to Lewisburg, Pa., to take

on Patriot League foe Bucknelland talented Christa Matlack, theconference’s Preseason Player ofthe Year.

The Bison (1-2) come intoSunday’s matchup on the heels ofa loss to another Big East team.Louisville blanked Bucknell, 2-0,in the final of the GamecockCourtyard Cup.

“How we play, how we staytogether and how we handleadversity … are really importantconsiderations over the next twoweekends,” Crooks said. “Onething we’ve learned with ourgroup is … that they won’t toler-ate anything else either. We feelgood about the weekend.”

At least the Rutgers football team had an excuse against Cincinnati.

There are no top NFL Draftprospects on Norfolk State, no

season in store for the Spartans.But that didn’t stop the middle-

of-the-road FCS squad from embar-rassing the slow-starting ScarletKnights for 35 minutes.

But at least against NorfolkState, they turned it around andshut out the Spartans 31-0.

The second half was as expect-ed in a game against a MEACopponent, but the first halfbecame a near exercise in futilityfor the Knights, who scored justsix points.

“There was no panic,” saidhead coach Greg Schiano. “We’renot going to do that. Just becausethe result isn’t going the way thatyou want it to go, if you don’tbelieve in your process thenyou’ve got to change your process,but you can’t panic.”

Rutgers came out of the gate atthe second half displaying more ofwhat was expected, with juniorrunning back Joe Martinek shoul-dering the load on a touchdowndrive and special teams gettinginvolved in the scoring.

With Norfolk State punting onits own side of the field, senior cor-nerback Brandon Bing slicedthrough the protection untouched,blocked the punt to the turf andjogged next to Joe Lefeged as hereturned it for a touchdown.

Quarterback Tom Savage fin-ished with 10 completions on 19attempts and 148 yards and a touchdown.

In the running game, Martinekpushed for his fifth 100-yard game,finishing with 109 total yards with astrong second half. The offensiveline struggled in the first half tocreate holes for Martinek, who wasfeatured in many off-tackle stretchrun plays.

As confused as a Rutgers foot-ball fan might have been from lastnight’s result — an ugly 31-0 victo-ry over Norfolk State — there wasno stranger moment than the finalplay of the first half.

Sophomore quarterback TomSavage connected with classmateMohamed Sanu for a 29-yard gainalong the Scarlet Knights’ side-

line, where Sanu was broughtdown at the four-yard line with asecond remaining.

That was the first time NorfolkState attempted to leave the field.

But Sanu was ruled out ofbounds, stopping the clock andgiving Savage and Co. one lastshot at the end zone and somerespectability at the end of a bru-tal first half.

Senior safety Joe Lefeged (26) scooped up a blocked punt, courtesy of fellow senior Brandon Bing, and took it the remaining threeyards for a touchdown. The score gave the Knights a 21-0 lead after an inauspicious start, mustering only six points in the first half.
