Fire officials encourageU. to know protocols

BY REENA DIAMANTECORRESPONDENT

Fire safety is a critical issueand one that Chief of EmergencyServices William Scott is hopingto prevent.

A Seton Hall University resi-dence hall suffered a tragedywhen three students were killed10 years ago because of a fire,said Scott, and he is hoping to pre-vent any such incident from hap-pening at the University.

“When students finish theireducation, we want them to gohome,” Scott said. “It’s for them— it’s not something we decide allof a sudden. It’s based on inci-dents that occurred in the coun-try. We want to prevent them from

occurring here. We need the stu-dent’s help to make sure it doesn’thappen here.”

An e-mail was sent out lastweek encouraging students toreview the fire safety proceduresfor their residence building, Scottsaid. Students must acknowledgethey went through it by clicking alink and checking a box sayingthey reviewed their residencehall’s floor plan.

The Department ofEmergency Services worked togo out and create specific emer-gency action plans in each resi-dence hall, he said. Part of thework was to provide the plans tothe students so they are aware of

Slow computers frustrate studentsBY DENNIS COMELLA

STAFF WRITER

The University upgraded all of itsWindows computers to Windows 7this semester, advancing fromWindows XP and improving overallspeed and functionality of the sys-tems — except for log-on time.

“It was just time to upgradethem,” said Winnie Ling, manager ofBusch campus computer labs whosaid the computers are typicallyupgraded every four years.

Brian Luper, project managerof the Of fice of InformationTechnology Central Systems andServices, said Microsoft provided

the software through a campus-wide license negotiation with the University.

The University also purchased140 new all-in-one personal comput-ers and 102 Macs for the computerlabs around campus, he said.

These new computers can befound around the University,including the Allison RoadClassroom Building on Busch cam-pus, Records Hall on the CollegeAvenue campus, the LivingstonLearning Center and the LoreeBuilding on Cook/Douglass cam-pus, Luper said.

The all-in-one PCs offer moredesktop real estate for students,

which is similar to the Macs alreadyin service, he said.

“You can open up a book andstudy while at the computer,”Luper said.

But although the Universityfeels the PC upgrades providemore for students, they are receiving mixed feelings from students.

School of Arts and Sciences jun-ior Sagara Wijeratne said he feelsWindows 7 is better than WindowsXP. But even with the upgrade to thebrand new PCs in the BuschCampus Computing Center in ARC,

Sorority remembers sister through cancer awareness BY MICHELE MAZZOCCHI

CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Teal ribbons decorated the trees ofVoorhees Mall on the College Avenuecampus this weekend to raise aware-ness for ovarian cancer.

The Alpha Chi Omega sororityhung the ribbons this past Saturdayalso in memory of an alumni member,Meghan McGrady, who in 2007 diedof ovarian cancer.

“Hanging up the ribbons is verytherapeutic because it makes us feelas if Meghan is still here,” said AliPatel, an Alpha Chi Omega alumnimember. “It helps us grieve her lossand honor her at the same time.”

During her years at the University,Meghan McGrady appeared on theDean’s List several times, served onthe executive board for the ResidenceHall Association for three years anddid volunteer work for children withcancer and blood disorders, saidCheryl McGrady, her mother.

In her junior year, she joined AlphaChi Omega, where she became veryclose with all her sisters. She thenbecame the vice president of risk man-agement as a senior.

“She was very humble andspunky,” Patel said. “She had a greatheart, and the sorority really broughther out of her shell.”

The March before graduation, agrowth was found on MeghanMcGrady’s ovary. Since she was only21 years old, the doctors thought itwas unlikely for it to be cancer,Cheryl McGrady said.

Her plan was to take her finals andgraduate before her operation wasscheduled for the following month,Cheryl McGrady said. But she wasdiagnosed with ovarian cancer a fewdays before the surgery.

Meghan McGrady graduated in May2007 with a 3.7 grade point average andthe hopes of attending the RutgersGraduate School of Education the fol-lowing September.

After Meghan McGrady passedaway five months later, Cher ylMcGrady spread the word by organ-izing and participating in many dif-ferent events for ovarian cancerawareness, one being RU Aware:Tealing Rutgers.

Texts from Last Night visits U.BY MIKE DAVIS

CONTRIBUTING WRITER

“I just want you to know we’rehaving pizza delivered to theemergency room.”

This is just one of the thou-sands of text messages publishedon textsfromlastnight.com, awebsite displaying texts sentbetween friends during or afterlong nights of partying, barhop-ping and “general debauchery,”according to the website.

The website, launched inFebruary 2009, allows users toanonymously submit texts, withonly the area code to identifywhere the message came from.

“You can text a close friend, andwe make it really public withoutincriminating you,” said Ben Bator,one of the website’s creators.“We’re doing the public a service.”

Bator and textsfromlast-night.com co-creator Lauren Letotold the story of the processbehind starting and running thewebsite to a crowd of about 100people on Friday night at theLivingston Student Center.

The Rutgers UniversityProgramming Association spon-sored the event and raffled offautographed copies of the bookadaptation of textsfromlast-night.com.

“They showed how a simpleidea could really turn into a busi-ness,” said Roxanne Belloni, aSchool of Arts and Sciences seniorwho frequently visits the website.

Bator and Leto developed thewebsite as an inside joke — a wayto live vicariously through theirfriends’ experiences — and lessthan a week later, they said itbecame extremely popular.

The Michigan State Universityalumnae decided to leave lawschool — or, in Bator’s case, for-get about applying — when theysaw the opportunities pile up.

“We basically left law school togo to accidental business school,”

Bator said. “Two years later,we’ve made a company.”

Since it’s opening, textsfrom-lastnight.com spawned into aniPhone application with almostone million downloads, a bookcollection of favorite publishedand unpublished text messagesand a television deal with MTV,the creators said.

“We look for texts that areoriginal, funny and somewhatbelievable,” Leto said. Theyespecially focus on taking textmessages out of context and theparameters they are from —making them more relatable,Bator said.

RUPA Arts and CultureCommittee Vice PresidentSarah Shaw thinks the websitehas become a widespread phe-nomenon because college stu-dents can relate to many of thetext messages.

“They’re college kids,” saidShaw, a School of Environmentaland Biological Sciences junior.“They’re going through the sameantics, even if they don’t want toadmit it.”

Bator and Leto said since onlya fraction of the texts submittedare published each day, mostmessages sent to textsfromlast-night.com are rejected.

Bator estimated between5,000 and 7,500 text messagesare submitted to the websiteevery day. The statistics peak

on holidays — in 2009, morethan 27,000 texts were submit-ted on Halloween and nearly20,000 were sent in on NewYear’s, he said.

Bator said he doesn’t find ittoo difficult to select which textsare put on the website.

“You read it, and it eithermakes you laugh or it makes youthink,” he said. “If it doesn’t real-ly evoke anything, then we get ridof it.”

They opened the screeningprocess up to attendees atFriday’s event, displaying a fewdozen possibilities for the nextday’s edition and using thecrowd’s reaction as a factor inwhether they would make the cut.

“It was pretty cool getting tosee a couple of previews,” saidChristopher Amat, a RutgersBusiness School first-year stu-dent. “We got to decide the fate ofthe texts.”

One of the text messages thatgot the best reaction — “He keptyelling ‘osteoporosis’ and threwmilk at her because she brokeher arm” — was posted to the siteSaturday morning.

Nearly two years afterspending $200 to open texts-fromlastnight.com, Bator andLeto are just starting to fathomthe overnight success theyhave become.

“We realize now how blessedwe’ve been,” Leto said. “At first, itwas so overwhelming and scarywhile we were trying to stay ontop of the site. Now, we’re justlucky we’re here.”

Unlike his counterpart, Batorstill hasn’t fully accepted it.

“To look at it now, and tolook at where we were, is amaz-ing. We never would havedreamed about this,” he said.“This was just a joke amongfriends that turned into a com-pany that turned into a string ofgreat opportunities.”

The C-SPAN digital busstopped by the Eagleton Instituteof Politics on Douglass campusFriday, engaging students andstaff in its various technologicaland political resources.

The brand-new interactive busof the public access politicalchannel featured fourTouchSmart computer kioskswhere students could access avideo library, featured politicalwebsites, C-SPAN classroom anda trivia corner.

“It’s like a party bus for poli-tics,” said Zaid Abuhouran, aSchool of Environmental andBiological Sciences junior.

Based in Washington, D.C., thebus travels around the continentalUnited States and stops at schoolsand other places where politicsmatter, said C-SPAN marketingrepresentative Rachel Katz.

The 13-foot-5-inch bus stopped atNew Brunswick High School beforecoming to the University, where themarketing representatives gave amore formal presentation for vari-ous history classes, Katz said.

The new model of the C-SPANbus is different from the two pre-viously retired buses because itdeals more with media outreach,she said.

The bus featured MacBookPro laptops with C-SPAN’sTwitter, Facebook and Youtubechannel to showcase C-SPAN’sinvolvement with social mediaand its accessibility from home.

“C-SPAN is really on top ofbridging the gap between politicsand technology,” said BobbyIrven, a School of Arts andSciences senior and student coor-dinator for RU Voting, whosemembers set up voter registra-tion tables outside the bus.

The bus also featured C-SPAN’s HD programming and aportable XM Radio with C-SPANradio and C-SPAN 2.

An iPhone and iPad on displaydemonstrated the free C-SPAN

applications available for down-load, as well as two books onKindle including “Who’s Buriedin Grant’s Tomb” by Brian Lamband the C-SPAN staff.

The program originated in1993 as an educational tool andhas since taken a more techno-logical approach with the newbus starting in June, Katz said.

“We’re passionate about start-ing discussion about politics withour bus that is constantly evolvingwith technology,” she said. “C-SPAN hopes to engage viewersthrough our social media, so we’rehere to spread the word about ourpresence on various websites.”

The digital bus has a rotatingcrew of three people, a bus driverand two marketing representatives.

Aside from its abundance oftechnology, the interior of thebus had a very modern design.

Near the entrance was a cylin-drical chrome display with tinyscreens showing photo stills ofthe country, with words like“Politics” and “C-SPAN” printedon it.

Some crewmembers stayed ina small office in the very back ofthe bus to leave more room forpeople to walk around.

Sarah Kozak, senior adminis-trative assistant at the EagletonInstitute tried her hand at theexecutive branch quiz on one ofthe TouchSmart computers.

“I’m doing all right. I shouldprobably be doing better,”Kozak said.

The bus program contactedKozak and Elizabeth Matto, anassistant research professor atthe Eagleton Institute, aboutcoming to the University.

“I thought it was a great ideato have [the bus] come toEagleton because of its high vis-ibility within the campus,”Kozak said.

The bus only parked at theUniversity for an hour and a half,but students who missed out canutilize C-SPAN’s resourcesbeyond the bus through theirsocial networking sites.

Ben Bator and Lauren Leto, creators of textsfromlastnight.com, share some behind-the-scenesinformation on their website with students Friday night in the Livingston Student Center.

“We put the teal ribbons upbecause it’s a great way to spreadthe word of ovarian cancer toRutgers students,” said MehreenIsmail, an Alpha Chi Omegamember and a School of Arts andSciences senior.

the log-on time is slower than theold ones, he said.

“It took a long time [to startup],” Wijeratne said. “If you wantto print something and your classis in five minutes, anythingseems like a long time.”

Other students have had sim-ilar experiences while logging in.

“I’m glad that they got thenew technology for us, but I’drather them do somethingabout the slowness,” saidCarina Cruz, a School of Artsand Sciences junior.

The slow log-on time is due tothe system dynamically settingup user profiles, which are writ-ten on the fly, Luper said. Itwould not be feasible to do itahead of time for every studentat the University.

“It’s really just a factor ofWindows 7,” he said. “It takessome time to build your userenvironment the first time youlog in.”

The University computingservices is working on optimiz-ing log-on times, which hasalready been reduced from fourminutes to as little as 30 sec-onds, Luper said. But it couldstill take up to two minutes tofully boot.

Although the PC upgradesreceived some bad reviews by

what to do when emergenciesoccur.

Action plans are availableonline so they are easily acces-sible, and students can refer tothem as often as possible,Scott said. The floor plan ofeach residence hall lists thelocations of exits and fireextinguishers in the event afire does actually occur.

“The idea is to get students tolook at the plans to know the sep-arate ways out of the building,”he said. “The plan also talksabout what type of fire alarms arein the building, so they knowwhat to expect, whether it’s abell, a horn or a voice alarm in ahigh-rise system.”

The University’s fire safetyregulations and proceduresare in compliance with therevised N.J. Uniform Fire Codeof 2009 and the N.J. Edition ofthe International Fire Code,Scott said.

The N.J. Uniform Fire Code isthe minimum regulations allstate municipalities must follow,he said.

There is a state committee offire safety professionals whoevaluate the main chapters of theInternational Fire Code dealingwith the basic fire safety require-ments, said Scott, who is a mem-ber of the committee.

The committee recom-mends the N.J. edition of thecode, which then goes throughthe state legislation forapproval, he said.

Scott said the code is not justUniversity-specific — it is uni-form throughout the entire state.

“Any municipality that has afire safety of fice, this is codethey enforce,” he said.“Somebody in New Brunswickwould be held throughout thesame status as anyone in the state.”

Some parts of the fire coderequirement include mainte-nance of fire alarms and extin-guishers, making sure certainfire doors are not blocked, whichallow smoke and fire to spread,Scott said.

“We, for many years, havetaken the basic requirementsof the Uniform Fire Code andtaken lessons learned thatoccurred here,” he said.“We’ve enhanced the minimumcode through University regu-lation, which even exceeds thefire code to ensure the safetyof the students.”

Before the revision of the firecode last year, EmergencyServices had a mandate statingcandles were not permitted inthe University residence halls,Scott said.

students, the Macs in the com-puter labs take a much shorteramount of time to log-on.

“I logged in [to a Mac] and itwas immediate,” said LarryVaynerchuk, a School of Arts andSciences junior.

By the time he was able tocheck e-mail, Facebook andmyRutgers on a Mac, a friendwas still on the welcome screenof their PC, he said.

“There’s no reason for it to bethat long,” Vaynerchuk said. “If aMac can do it, why can’t a PC?”

Luper said the differencebetween Macs and PCs is thecause of the vastly different log-on times.

“The way Macs handle build-ing the user environment is a bitdifferent,” he said. “It’s difficultto do [for a PC].”

The variety of softwareinstalled on the computers is alsoa factor, but uninstalling pro-grams is not necessarily anoption, Luper said.

“We have to support all of theclass software,” he said.

Besides the log-on times,Wijeratne is satisfied with thespeed of the computers andwas able to download and openseveral large files in a matterof seconds.

“These computers are reallyfast,” he said.

Vaynerchuk suggested forstudents who are in a hurry touse a Mac to avoid a long log-ontime, though that is sometimesnot an option.

to spread the word of ovariancancer by informing her soror-ity sisters and by going to dif-ferent colleges and speaking at sororities.

“She wanted to make ovariancancer known, so tealing Rutgersis definitely something she wouldhave wanted to do,” said KateBritton, an Alpha Chi Omegaalumni member.

Along with teal ribbons,Cheryl McGrady made T-shirts,beads, bumper stickers and ovar-ian cancer cards to help spreadthe awareness. She also createdthe website, meghansmes-sage.org.

Cher yl McGrady helpedorganize the One Force toMake a Difference Symposiumand every May participates in

the Revlon Walk/Run. She isalso trying to start Meghan’sMessage Foundation, becauseshe believes that is what herdaughter would have wanted.

Cheryl McGrady also wantedgirls to know that ovarian canceris easier to detect during its laterstages. But if it is detected earlier,the chances of surviving aremuch greater.

The McGrady family and theAlpha Chi Omega sorority wantsto educate girls and women aboutthis disease in hopes of savingmany lives.

“Girls should know thatyou’re never too young to haveit,” Cheryl McGrady said. “Ifthey find anything abnormal,they need to get it checked outbefore it’s too late.”

Candles were one of the lead-ing causes of fire, he said. Thedepartment also limited thetypes of cooking appliances per-mitted in living quarters prior tothe revision.

The revised Uniform FireCode affected the number ofpractice fire drills for theUniversity, Scott said. Before therevisions, only one fire drill wasdeemed necessary for each resi-dence hall, but the numberincreased to two per semester.

The University already con-ducted its first round of drills,which needed to be done withinthe first 10 days of classes, hesaid. The second round of drillswill take place in October.

The system EmergencyServices created can generate areport if students log in andacknowledge if they reviewed it,Scott said.

If they do not go throughthe fire safety plan, ResidenceLife will work with the studentsto make sure it gets done, he said.

Scott believes if the firesafety regulations and actionplans are followed and taken tohear t by students, they can be successful.

“Those who disregard therules and regulations put them-selves and their neighbors atrisk,” he said. “They’re veryeffective. They have reduced theincidents of fires and smoke con-ditions in residence halls.”

The department reviews andensures the emergency actionplan is up to date, Scott said.

“We’re definitely on top of thefire safety for every residence,”he said.

Under the minimum of thefire code, the department per-forms a fire inspection everyyear, Scott said.

The fire inspection entailsinspectors going through thebuilding, making sure exit signsare working, fire extinguishersare in place, doors are not

propped, nothing is hangingfrom sprinkler heads, andsmoke detectors are not cov-ered, he said.

Emergency lights andsmoke detectors are testedonce a month, Scott said. Thesprinkler systems are testedevery quarter.

“We enter every room, everycloset. Every space within a resi-dence hall, we inspect,” he said.

Similar to the Clery Act —where the police departmentreports crimes and incidences oncampus — Emergency Servicesmeets the terms of the Fire SafetyRight-to-Know Act, Scott said.

According to the Fire SafetyRight-to-Know for the University,there was only one reportable fireincident in 2009, he said.

Some University studentsfeel the emergency action plansare something everyone shouldtake seriously.

“These action plans don’tseem that important at first, butno one ever really plans whensomething terrible happens,”said Young-Jin Park, a School ofArts and Sciences junior.

Park, who lives in theUniversity Center at EastonAvenue, noted that students haveaccess to stoves in the kitchenand that mistakes can happen outof nowhere.

“We need to know whereextinguishers and exits arebefore it’s too late,” Park said.

Other students think moreshould be done to heightenawareness that the action plansare available online.

Kristin Kasubinski, a School ofArts and Sciences junior, admit-ted she completely looked overthe e-mail at first.

“It is a really important issue,but I can see people disregardingit,” Kasubinski said. “Thereneeds to be more advertisingabout what the rules and plansare. Maybe there should be anincentive program to get studentsto actually go through it.”

Panel discusses future of NJNBY MICHAEL CARROLL

CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Traditional news media —like radio, newspapers and tele-vision — have lost some oftheir young adult audiences toonline news sources and socialnetworks, and the changecould mean the end for NewJersey Network.

“Public Media, NJN and theFuture of Journalism in NewJersey,” an Eagleton Institute ofPolitics-sponsored event onThursday on Douglass campus,focused on how public broad-casting — namely NJN — cansurvive while more peopleacross all age groups look to theInternet for news.

New Jersey’s budgetincludes funding for NJN onlythrough Dec. 30, said modera-tor and Eagleton AssociateDirector John Weingart.

Gov. Chris Christie and theN.J. state legislature plan to elim-inate the state’s financial holdingin NJN — about $4 million to $5million of the network’s totalbudget of about $18.5 million,said NJN Acting ExecutiveDirector Janice Selinger.

Selinger believes NJN will findways to cover the monetary loss-es, possibly through a grassrootsapproach.

“We’re doing a lot morethan people know we’re doing,”she said.

Spreading the word aboutthe network and providing con-tent that interests young adultson all its media platforms — tel-evision, radio and the Internet— could increase donations

from ever yday consumers,Selinger said.

Technological developmentshave given people easier accessto content that matters to them,said panelist Ellen Goodman, aprofessor at the Rutgers-CamdenSchool of Law and co-director ofthe University’s Institute forInformation Policy and Law.

Through these developments,people do not need to listen to orwatch whatever comes on theradio or television alone, she said.

But Goodman said simplybroadening the network’s rangeand bolstering Internet contentwould not necessarily attractmore viewers and listeners.

“It’s much harder to saythere’s value in stuff that younever touch and never see,”she said.

To reach the modern mediaconsumer, public broadcastingnetworks must attach them-selves to social networks,Goodman said.

Most people under 25 yearsof age receive a majority of theirnews from Facebook, mainlythrough what friends have sug-gested to them, she said. Thesite presents users with newsfrom across the globe, not just

local news that networks likeNJN provide.

Public broadcasting net-works across the country havefailed to attract consumers with-in the six-to-55 age group,Goodman said.

If networks like PBS andNJN would bring their contentinto new, popular platforms likesocial networks, they couldreach people in that age group,who then could raise the moneyneeded to keep public broad-casting alive, she said.

Both NJN and PBS have triedto draw the six-to-55 age group,but these efforts have notworked, Selinger said.

NJN relies on the state budg-et for survival, and the networkwill need to completely changeits ownership if it plans tobroadcast past 2010, said PaulStarr, a Princeton Universityprofessor of communicationsand public affairs.

“There are proposals on thetable to transfer control of NJN toa nonprofit community founda-tion,” Starr said.

Somerset church gives school supplies at block partyBY SEHAR MUGHAL

CONTRIBUTING WRITER

More than 300 childrenreceived free backpacks filledwith school supplies Saturdaywhen the First Baptist Church ofLincoln Garden in Somerset heldits third annual “Back in Action:Back 2 School Block Party.”

The party, which more than500 people attended, was meantto encourage children, especiallyin lower-income communities, togo to and stay in school.

“In lower-income communi-ties, education is not pushed orstressed that much, but we needto stress how important it is,”said Khristi Adams, FBCLGyouth minister and the event’scoordinator.

The University is an impor-tant part of the FBCLG commu-nity, and it has a role in spread-ing the message of education tothe children who attended theblock party, Adams said.

Being exposed to theUniversity and its students showthem that their education can gobeyond just high school, she said.

Through the block party, thechurch encourages students tostay in school, and differentgroups have the opportunity toreach people they would not haveaccess to otherwise, Adams said.

Groups like University ofMedicine and Dentistry of NewJersey, Horizon Healthcare andProject Single Moms — an asso-ciation to support single mothers— set up booths at the event.

ured the height and weight ofchildren at the block party inorder to promote a healthylifestyle from the start.

“We take these measurementsand speak with the parents aboutthem, because it really is veryimportant to prevent obesity and

the diseases that are caused by itfrom the very beginning,” she said.

Amato also emphasized theimportance of University stu-dents in helping to promote sucha cause. She encouraged studentsto volunteer with UMDNJ to helpthe movement.

Amanda Edwards, local co-coordinator of Project SingleMothers, said last year theblock par ty helped to reachmore than 100 single mothersand bring them benefits theydid not know were available to them.

Beth Phelan, director of youthservices at Franklin TownshipLibrary, also worked at a stallduring the event.

“When people stop by at ourstall at an event like this, it reallyencourages them to come intolibraries and read,” she said.

For some, the block partywas an opportunity to sharetheir talents with the rest ofthe community.

South Brunswick residentChental-Song Bembry, 13, sat ata stall selling her book, “TheHoney Bunch Kids,” which shewrote and illustrated.

“I’ve been working on thebook since I was nine years old,”she said.

Through book sales, she wasable to donate 24 of the bookbags for children at the event.

Many who attended also saidthe party was a good opportunityto meet with their friends andhave fun. The block party alsoincluded attractions such as facepainting, clowns, a Fun Bus,Brooklyn-based gospel groupJudacamp and step teams fromNew Brunswick.

The Zakee BowserEnrichment Foundation organ-ized a back to school supplydrive, through which the freebook bags and school supplieswere given away.

Executive Director of thefoundation Gina Bowser —which was named for her sonwho lost his life to gang violence— summed up the motive forher work.

“It takes a village to raise achild,” she said.

dented national debt, indica-tors suggest that the econo-my has bottomed out andcould begin growing, howev-er lethargic that growth maybe. Banks will start lending,households will consume,companies will hire andinvest. Now that we are not in

free fall, the president should keep his hands off, withone exception, and let the private sector right itself.

One of the more practical, albeit obvious, sugges-tions by Obama and other leadership — and my oneexception — is the renewal of the Bush-era tax cuts.Although many more tax reductions, coupled with thestrangulation of federal spending, are needed toprompt short- and long-term growth without adding tothe enormous debt obligation, the tax break extensionsare crucial. Senate minority leader Mitch McConnell,R-Ky., has announced that he and all Republican sena-tors will block an extension of the tax breaks if theyexclude extensions for the people Obama labels “the

wealthiest of Americans.” McConnell seems to have a sur-

prising amount of bipartisan supportagainst the president’s tax plan, and itis possible that he can introduce andpass a bill that extends the Bush taxcuts for all levels of income. It isunlike Democrats to argue for taxreductions on the wealthy, especiallywhen it conflicts with the president’sdesires. The most likely reason for

this about-face is election season worries; the majori-ty party is going to suffer a beating in Novemberthanks to the passage of a very unpopular health carerestructuring bill, negligent deficit-spending and thecontinued presence of American troops in the MiddleEast for far too long. Yet instead of staying inWashington to do their jobs and be productive,Congress is back on the campaign trail, spending tax-payer money on security and transportation to con-vince their constituents that they are still competent.

Although a conservative landslide this Novemberis almost a foregone conclusion, the public has toask itself if a takeover by hardcore Republicans isreally desirable. What we need and what Americawants, if Delaware’s primary is any indication, arenew representatives who will stand up against costlysocial programs and imprudent expenditures by thefederal government — people who have no obliga-tions to political parties or special interests, peoplewho have careers and have no interest in being life-time politicians. America needs leaders who willbring Washington back to its Constitutional roots.

T he American econo-my is stale. Theunemployment rate

has landed indefinitely on aplateau at 9.5 percent.Housing prices are still stag-nant. Credit is only startingto loosen in the aftermath ofthe Lehman BrothersHolding Inc. catastrophe. Perhaps the most concern-ing aspect, though, is that the short-term outlook isbleak. Consumer spending, the largest part of GDP,is dreadfully slow. Companies are reluctant to hire.The national trade balance is almost irreversibly neg-ative. Because of the frozen credit market and lack ofconfidence in the economic future, capital investingis not expanding either. What went wrong?

In six words — the American Recovery andReinvestment Act. Although Keynesian policies arenot without faults (i.e. crowding out private invest-ment), they are the best available resource to dampeneconomic downturns (Ben Bernanke’s loose mone-tary policy hasn’t helped) — especial-ly when low consumer confidencechokes spending. President BarackObama’s administration was right inits intent, but dead wrong in execu-tion. The majority of almost $1 tril-lion, deficit-printed, went to repairinginfrastructure. The first problem withthis choice is that the funding neededto scrape its way through agencies,commissions, nepotism and, finally,labor unions’ prevailing wage. The second, morelethal, problem is that it did nothing to create sustain-able jobs or growth. The cash infusion, primarily intothe labor market, was merely a superficial adrenalineboost that would not — and does not — leave theeconomy significantly better off. Washington wouldhave been wise to direct the financial capital towardthe development of intellectual capital and new tech-nologies in the medical, information and energyfields. Instead of spending cash that taxpayers willhave to repay, U.S. Congress should have invested ingrowth markets that would yield tangible returns.Teach a man to fish, as the proverb goes.

It is easy for a third party to groan about what baddecisions were made, and hindsight grants us theadvantage of judging those decisions based on theoutcome. Thinking back to before the crisis, onething is clear. The Obama administration is not to beblamed for the state of our economy. It started withthe Federal Reserve System, which left interest ratesfar below average during expansion and then causedthe huge housing bubble. Wall Street investmentbankers then, by underwriting an irresponsible vol-ume of subprime mortgages, provided the pin.

On the brighter side, despite a collapsed financialsystem, a failed stimulus package and an unprece-

JAMES WINTERS

F ormer NBA player Charles Barkley publicly admitted recently —without remorse — that he borrowed money from agents whileplaying college basketball. Not only does Barkley think this appar-

ently widespread practice is completely OK, but he also believes that col-lege athletes should be paid a stipend by the university they play for.Barkley justified his beliefs by stating, “The colleges don’t give us any-thing. If they give us a pair of sneakers, they get in trouble. Why can’t anagent lend me some money and I’ll pay him back when I graduate?”

Barkley’s justification is missing a crucial point: The colleges do giveathletes compensation for their talents in the form of scholarships, andthose scholarships can be quite hefty, depending on a player’s talent.

It is possible that Barkley wasn’t ignoring this fact. Maybe he justfeels that academic recompense isn’t good enough. It’s obvious hebelieves that college athletes deserve cold, hard cash for their abilities.This is dangerous territory.

Once money enters the equation, college athletes can no longer beconsidered amateur athletes. By paying their players stipends, univer-sities would be turning college athletics into a downright profession.Such a move could have some disastrous side effects, despite theundoubtedly good intentions behind it.

Incredible disparities already exist between the levels of funding fordifferent sports inside of universities. That disparity would onlyincrease if college athletes started getting paid. For example, a bas-ketball star would certainly be paid more than a tennis star. That is, ifthe tennis star gets paid at all. Plus, the money to pay the athleteswould have to be rerouted from other funds. It is very likely that thoseother funds would be the money set aside for the smaller sports.

And let’s not forget that college athletes are, in fact, students. Theyare supposed to be going to classes and earning decent grades. Theyare, after all, attending an academic institution. There is already avicious tug-of-war between a college athlete’s dedication to sports andhis dedication to class work. If they start receiving money for playingsports, they could very well lose all motivation to attend classes at all.As far as they are concerned, they have got a job now. But what hap-pens if that athlete doesn’t make it to the major leagues, as most ofthem won’t? They have no backup plan because they didn’t earn thedegree they were supposed to be going to college for in the first place.

Money changescollege sports

W e have all gotten parking tickets — New Brunswick orUniversity-issued — and perhaps it has been our fault most of thetime. But there are those of us who pay about $160 for a com-

muter-parking permit and still get hit with a $75 parking citation. The reasonis the University Department of Transportation oversold its Zone B parkingon Busch campus for the 2010-2011 year, which includes Stadium West Lotand Lots 62, Lots 67 and Lot 65 D. Students are displeased and rightly so.

The fact that there are too many cars and not enough spots forcesstudent commuters to park in satellite lots for which they do not havepermits. They circle the lot for which they have tags, but after 20 or 30minutes of pointless idling, students are forced to take the first spotavailable — permitted or not. University officials have simply miscal-culated its parking permits or have taken yet another step toward try-ing to shake us for as much money as they can.

The question is, what was the University thinking? It isn’t as if parkingofficials have no information on how many spots have been taken up by stu-dent commuters. It seems like they expect commuters to drive to theUniversity, go to one or two classes and then leave just for another commuterto take his or her parking spot. The truth is far from that. These students arejust as involved in campus life as many student-residents of New Brunswick.

This inadequacy on part of the University is causing students toarrive late to class and is forcing them to park in lots for which they donot have permits. In this panic to get to class on time, commuters findthe first available spot and in many cases, end up with parking tickets— which now cost $75, and can be up to three times more expensivethan New Brunswick parking citations. And these are the people whohave already paid for a parking space, only to find themselves in thesame place as students who have no permits at all.

Perhaps in the end, it is more “convenient” to park on the streets of NewBrunswick and hope to avoid the less potent New Brunswick ParkingAuthority tickets, or maybe some day, we could expect the University totreat its students with the respect they pay for. There are those of us whocan just get up 20 minutes before class and take the bus to get there on time.But there are also those students who have paid the astronomical prices forparking, which the University has yet to adequately provide them.

U. oversells,takes advantage

I had the misfortune of comingacross the whiny, self-proclaimedrant produced by the columnist of“Live with higher standards.”

“The majority of college anduniversity students in this nationsold out to MTV and other main-stream media titans’ sexploitationlong ago.”

Thank you for that insight.It is easy to criticize what goes

on at the University, just as it iseasy to criticize the majority ofthings that go on between youngpeople in the United States. Thosewho recognize what is going ondo not need to read an article tofind this out. Those who partakein this culture are not going tochange because someone is com-plaining about them (let me onceagain note that the majority ofthese people do not read).

Simply criticizing people is notgoing to change anything. If youtruly want to see a change in the

way things happen suggest one.Follow the example of the lateRoman philosopher MarcusTullius Cicero who said, “I criticizeby creation — not by finding fault.”

It is easy to become mired inthe stupid things that people do.“Jersey Shore” is a good exam-

ple, but we need not look any fur-ther than television that claims todepict “real life.” MSNBC andFOX are excellent examples ofthis, as are talk shows like “Dr.Phil” and “The Tyra BanksShow.” Believe me when I tellyou that I could speak at lengthabout the detriments broughtupon our society by “The Tyra

Banks Show,” but where wouldthat get us?

I submit that, rather thandwelling on the idiocies of the mass-es, we attempt to better the worldby bettering ourselves. If you findthe unspeakable acts that the peren-nial citizens of New Brunswickcommit against themselves and oth-ers on the weekend to be sounspeakable, you should make anattempt to understand them and,subsequently, remedy them.

Who is to say that the Ke$hasand The Situations of the worlddon’t have the right idea? Perhaps itis us who should be following them.

I recently spoke to a friend ofmine taking “Communication andHuman Values,” a class at theUniversity taught by ProfessorRichard Heffner. For the class heis reading “Public Opinion” writ-ten by Walter Lippmann. Thebook discusses the massiveamounts of information that we

receive about the world and ourown inabilities to truly under-stand and interpret this informa-tion. I believe this inability isresponsible for many of the prob-lems that we experience with ourexistence. I will not attempt toexplain it any further as I have notyet read the work, but I do rec-ommend that you read it.Consider it the first step in yourwork toward a better society.

Perhaps the best thing to do isignore our world completely andjust “tie a load on” at the end ofthe week. Whatever the remedyis, it certainly does not consist ofmerely pointing out the short-comings of others.

T here are two types of peo-ple at the University: Thefirst will be offended at

the masses that placate them-selves through debauchery andinebriation on the weekends, theother will get over it and get onwith their life. One could consid-er those who debauch them-selves to be a third category, butI am not too concerned withthem; they usually don’t read theopinions page, let alone read.

I returned to my alma materthis past weekend to meet somefriends and take a brief breakfrom the land of the lost andunemployed. As a former DailyTargum employee I picked up themost recent copy to admire someof the work done by its fine writ-ers and photographers. However,

T he United States is anEnglish-speaking coun-try, not a bilingual or mul-

tilingual speaking country. Ourgovernment conducts all businessin English. Our military commu-nicates only in English. Can youenvision military commandersgiving commands to attack innumerous languages? US busi-nesses typically communicate inEnglish. One of the manystrengths of this country is its out-standing communications system.

All roadside signs, instructions,business correspondence, schoolclasses and general communica-tions should be in English, with noreferences to any foreign languages.

Immigrants have to learnEnglish and our children haveto be proficient in English.

It can be beneficial for peopleto be fluent in a second languagesuch as Spanish, Chinese orArabic. Our country needsexpertise in foreign languages,but this should be subservient tofluency in English. US citizenswho cannot speak and writeEnglish as a primary languageare probably placing themselvesat a disadvantage on the ladder tosuccess in this country.

We should not promote lan-guage diversity, because it willlead to divisiveness, the sametype of divisiveness we see innumerous foreign countries.

T he Rutgers footballteam’s Saturday gameagainst North Carolina

kicks off at 3:30 p.m. at RutgersStadium.

ESPN did not initiallyannounce the game time, as ithad to be determined whetherit would air on ABC, ESPN,ESPN2 or ESPNU.

After the Tar Heels fell, 30-24,to Georgia Tech this weekendand dropped to 0-2 on the year,ESPNU picked up the game.

THE TOP-FIVE COLLEGEfootball teams remainedunchanged in the latest AP Top25 poll.

No. 1 Alabama took downDuke to set the pace for the othertop teams — Ohio State, BoiseState, Texas Christian and Oregon— which averaged 46.6 point mar-gin of victories on the weekend.

West Virginia remains theBig East’s lone ranked repre-sentative at No. 22, althoughPittsburgh received votes.

No. 25 Michigan Statereplaced Houston in the rank-ings after taking down NotreDame, 34-31, in overtime.

After the game, MichiganState head coach MikeDantonio had a mild heartattack. Offensive coordinatorDon Treadwell will take overhead coaching duties while the54-year-old Dantonio recovers.

CHICAGO CUBS ROOKIETyler Colvin is in stable condi-tion at Miami hospital after beingpunctured by a broken bat whilerunning the bases in Sunday’sgame against the Marlins.

Colvin is said to be in stablecondition with external bleed-ing, but the depth of the woundis unknown.

F.C. BARCELONAforward Lionel Messi injuredhis ankle and was stretcheredoff the field in tears at the endof his team’s 2-1 victory overAtletico Madrid.

On the play that injuredMessi, Tomas Ujfalusi received astraight red card for his chal-lenge on the Golden Boot winner.

Messi scored Barcelona’sfirst goal of the game.

HOUSTON QUARTERBACKCase Keenum will miss the restof the season after tearing hisACL in a losing effort againstUCLA. To make matters worse,Houston’s backup quarterbackCotton Turner will also be forcedto miss the remainder of the sea-son with a broken collarbone thatwas suffered in the same game.

Keenum threw for 636 yardswith five touchdowns this seasonand will likely be replaced byfreshman Terrance Broadway.

PITTSBURGH STEELERSquarterback Dennis Dixon leftearly in the team’s 19-14 winagainst the Tennessee Titans aftersuffering an injury to his left knee.

With quarterback BenRoethlisberger out for twomore games due to suspension,it is unclear who will take overthe starting quarterback rolefor the squad.

looking on Saturday night,Stephenson led his squad to a16-0 victory over Toms RiverEast. Playing right tackle,defensive tackle and handlingkickoffs, Stephenson played allbut two snaps and finished thegame with 5.5 tackles, 3.5 tack-les for loss, 1.5 sacks and aforced fumble.

“All of the [Rutgers] coacheshave been telling me to just keepdoing what I’m doing and makesure I get things done in theclassroom,” Stephenson said.“Right now, school comes firstand football comes second.”

Things were not as smooth forGause on the gridiron Saturdaywith his high school, BishopKearney (N.Y.), losing, 44-0.Gause ran for 44 yards.

Gause, who committed May22, will likely play linebacker forthe Scarlet Knights. He is thethird best player in New York onRivals and the No. 13 outside line-backer on Scout.

Like Stephenson, Gauseadmits that focusing on his sen-ior year can be challengingknowing that he’ll be on a BowlChampionship Series pro-gram’s practice field in lessthan a year.

“It’s hard because you’re real-ly excited about college football,but you have to stay focused onthe now,” Gause said. “We have agame [next Saturday], so I’m

working my tail off for that gameto get ready.”

Gause, also a track star in NewYork, is good friends with truefreshman running back JordanThomas, who has a chance to startagainst North Carolina in six days.

Seeing Thomas get a chanceto play immediately is an inspira-tion to Gause, he said.

“Jordan is a hard worker —harder than a lot of people I know,”Gause said. “It shows that you cancome in and work hard, and youcan get a position even if youaren’t tops at the beginning. Iknow he’s out there having fun,and I hope I can do the same whenI get there and work my tail off.”

Seeing under-the-radar guyslike Thomas get immediate play-ing time drew praise for thecoaching staff from Gause.

“It proves that they keep theirword,” Gause said. “I know somecoaches at other schools will tellyou, maybe not as a promise, buttell you that you can play and itdoesn’t work out. But theRutgers coaches say that if youdo this and do that you can provethat you are better than every-body and Jordan was an exampleof that.”

Knight Note: After Friday’spractice, Rutgers head coachGreg Schiano said he had yet tomake a decision on who will startat right guard between juniorCaleb Ruch and redshirt fresh-man Antwan Lowery.

“We’re just moving peoplearound right now,” Schiano saidFriday. “There’s nothing perma-nent. We’ll see, maybe by the endof the weekend. I don’t know.”

seemed like the perfect opportu-nity for the Scarlet Knights totake a preseason tournament forthe second year in a row.Dartmouth lost to Rutgers lastyear, while Sacred Heart fell tothe Knights earlier this season.

It looked like the Pioneers andthe Big Green treated this week-end’s contests like grudgematches more than anything, aseach bested the Knights, 3-1 and3-0, respectively.

Head coach CJ Werneke hint-ed that the team is strugglingwith some injuries right now butdid not comment on the nature orextent of any.

“We’re dealing with a coupleof injuries right now,” he said.“That’s no excuse, we just playedlike six individuals on the courtand not as a team. When we didthat, it took us a couple of match-es to figure that out. Fighting ourway through those moments,and that was the difference.”

And eventually, the Knightsdid figure things out.

RUTGERSNEW HAMPSHIRE

The lone bright spot thisweekend for a now struggling vol-leyball squad came when theteam pulled together to dismantlehost New Hampshire to the tuneof three-straight victories.

“In the end, we didn’t playour type of volleyball,” Wernekesaid. “In the end, it didn’t mat-ter who we had out there aslong as we played as a team. Wewere fortunate enough to figure

that out by the time we playedNew Hampshire.”

Junior middle blocker HannahCurtis garnered all-tournamenthonors at the weekend’s conclu-sion after a strong showing.

The Wasilla, Ala., native ledthe team in kills in each of thisweekend’s three games with 36.

“We had a lot of great experi-ences out of this weekend,”Werneke said. “We hit the adver-sity and found out what it takes tocompete at this level as a team.”

In the grand scheme of things,a preseason tournament loss isnot cause for much concern.

But a breakdown in quality ofplay is something the team willkeep in the back of its mind, espe-cially with Big East opponentsCincinnati and Louisville waiting forits first weekend conference games.

“We’re excited about that toreally see how we really stack upagainst the two best teams in ourconference,” Werneke said.

However, with injuries that satplayers out this weekend andwatch their team drop two gamesagainst beatable opponents,there are still many questions.

“We don’t know [the extent ofthe injuries],” Werneke said.“We’re just taking it one practiceat a time.”

And until everything becomesclearer, Werneke is pleased to getsome necessary experience to thefreshmen, who have gradually beenadapting into the program thus far.

“We’re getting some of ouryounger players some experi-ence,” Werneke said. “They’restill trying to figure out what ittakes to compete on a daily basisat this level.”

“It is pretty frustrating,” saidArcher, whose team was calledoffsides seven times.

The goal was Archer’s secondin as many games, with his 17thminute strike Friday againstLong Island serving as the gamewinner in a 2-0 victory.

The win over the Blackbirds(2-3) gave the Knights’ theirsecond-straight shutout victo-ry. Klink made four saves innet, with the Rutgers’ defend-ers limiting LIU to only onecorner kick.

“I feel like we have some greatchemistry and we really are play-ing like a team this year,” saidsenior defender Chris Edwards,who injured his hamstringagainst the Blackbirds and satout against Hartford. “[Klink]has stepped up big time for us.He’s been playing really well. Weare very happy with Adam.”

No matter how poorly theteam may have played againstHartford, the fact remainsunchanged: The Knights are rid-ing a three-game win streak intoBig East play.

Rutgers concludes its five-gamehomestand Friday night in the BigEast opener against Marquette.

keeper Jill Mastroianni deflected.The ball proceeded to hit thecrossbar before being cleared bythe Boston College defense.

“Maybe if some of the chancesthat were close did go in, it could’vemaybe influenced the game,” saidLancos, whose defense allowedthree goals for the first time thisseason. “If it doesn’t go in, it doesn’tgo in. When opportunities come,you just have to finish them.”

The Golden Eagles cappedtheir scoring when defender AmyCaldwell put in a rebound in the86th minute off of a shot that hitthe crossbar.

Substitute midfielder KelseyDumont responded four minuteslater with her first goal of the sea-son, but it was a case of too little,too late for the Knights.

“We put some things togetherand really had some good oppor-tunities on goal at the end,”Crooks said. “Nice play by Kelsey— she missed one earlier. Jonelle[Filigno] missed one. Julie[Lancos] hit the crossbar. But ourdefending on their goals wasshoddy. [Boston College] hits thecrossbar, they’re there for therebound. We didn’t have defend-ers checking their players.”

Crooks opted to use 10 substi-tutes, including two freshman, ona day in which there wasn’tenough offensive continuity. Onlyhalf of Rutgers’ eight shots wenton goal.

“It was a good game. It wasdefinitely a harder game thanwe’ve played,” Lancos said. “Werespect them a lot and they are a

very good team, so it was a goodchallenge for us today. I think wegot some good things out of it.Playing any top-10 team is a goodopportunity and good challenge.”

The Knights’ rare two-lossweekend began Friday with a 1-0blanking at Seton Hall.

Pirates forward Kaitlyn Ritter,the Big East’s Freshman of theWeek, tallied the only score in the27th minute.

The loss in Rutgers’ Big Eastopener moved Crooks’ squad to 1-2 against New Jersey opponentsthis season.

“We just look at games — Idon’t care if they’re from NewJersey or Mars — that might hurtour NCAA tournament chances,”Crooks said. “We care about theNCAA’s and Big East tourna-

ment. Any loss along the way,especially to a team that’s lowerin the RPI than you, is damagingto that.”

Rutgers returns to YurcakField Friday for another Big Eastcontest against No. 15Georgetown (7-0-1, 1-0). TheHoyas defeated Villanova, 3-1, inan early-season conferencematchup on Sept. 1.

The Knights travel to face’Nova on Sunday for an after-noon showdown.

“Big East is Big East. You’regoing to get up for every game,”Lancos said. “We might have hadtwo losses this weekend, but bythe time Friday comes aroundthose aren’t going to be in ourhead at all. It’s going to be a newgame, a new weekend.”

Moving up from his central defending roleto the midfield for the first time this season,

Bryant Knibbs justneeded one chance.

And in the sec-ond overtime, hischance came.

The junior fromPine Bush, N.Y., corralled a long pass fromdefender Dragan Naumoski and sent a how-itzer into the back of the net. The strike pro-pelled the Rutgers men’s soccer team to a 2-1 overtime victory over Hartford on Sundayand added another victory to the team’s nowfour-game unbeaten streak.

“Somebody had to step up, so I figured I’djust try my luck and put it on goal,” saidKnibbs, whose first goal of his collegiatecareer sent all of the 843 Scarlet supportersat Yurcak Field into a frenzy. “Overtime iskind of our game. I feel like we can beat any-body in overtime when we get there.”

The win was anything but pretty for theScarlet Knights (3-1-1), who fell behind, 1-0,in the first half and had a tough time pene-trating the Hawks’ (2-4) defense. Head coachDan Donigan made numerous changes dur-ing the intermission, including movingKnibbs to the midfield and freshman BonnyLondono to the back line.

“To be honest with you, I think we weregod awful in the first half. I think it was 45minutes of the worst soccer we have played,”said Donigan. “We made a whole bunch ofadjustments that I don’t remember them all.

“Knibbsie is a gamer. That kid can be a spe-cial player. He showed it at the end with a greatfinish. We were trying to get our frontrunnersto do that all game and it took our center back.”

The first goal of the game came on aHartford corner in the 11th minute, whenJorge Rodriguez’s cross found the head ofSean McKinney and soared into the back ofthe net. The tally is the first goal conceded by

PARLIN, N.J. — In the recruiting game,sometimes the hardest part is waiting.

For Daryl Stephenson and QuentinGause, two of the Rutgers football team’s 16

verbal commitmentsfor the Class of 2011,

the waiting game is just as demanding aseach game on the schedule for their seniorseasons in high school.

Both Stephenson and Gause committedto Rutgers before their senior years evenbegan. With the high school season get-ting underway, sometimes it’s hard to notlook ahead to National Signing Day,Stephenson said.

“I’m just so excited and I can’t wait forRutgers,” said Stephenson, who verballycommitted to the Scarlet Knights on June 18.“It’s sometimes hard to focus on what’s now,because I want to get [to Rutgers] so badly.”

Stephenson, from Sayreville WarMemorial High School, is a three-star defen-sive tackle on Rivals.com and a two-star onScout.com. Rivals ranks him as the 21st bestprospect in the Garden State.

Standing at 6-foot-3, 270 pounds, Stephensonemerged as one of the dominant forces ondefense in the Greater Middlesex Conference.

Pair of lossesleaves Rutgersseeking answers

BY TYLER BARTOASSOCIATE SPORTS EDITOR

During the Rutgers women’s soccerteam’s matchup yesterday with No. 5 BostonCollege, one aspect of the teams’ matchup

was constantly rein-forced: The GoldenEagles had a plan.

Boston Collegebested the No. 24Scarlet Knights, 3-1,

to close out a weekend in which Rutgers (5-4, 0-1) went 0-2, with the latter coming atYurcak Field.

Golden Eagles sophomores VictoriaDiMartino and Kristie Mewis meticulouslycarved through the Knights’ defense to thetune of 13 combined shots and two assists.

Boston College (7-0-1) outshot Rutgershead coach Glenn Crooks’ squad, 26-8, onthe afternoon.

“I’m going to go in there and tell them,‘Rutgers women’s soccer doesn’t lose week-ends,’” said Crooks, whose team is 3-3 sincehis return from suspension. “It’s unaccept-able. Boston College is very good, but as youcan see, we didn’t compete very well in thefirst half. The statistics bear that out. We didnot compete in the second half.”

The Golden Eagles kicked off the scoringin the 30th minute, when DiMartino — scor-er of eight goals on the season — found jun-
