U. plans to scale back incoming classBY ANASTASIA MILLICKER

ASSOCIATE NEWS EDITOR

With a little more than 26,000undergraduates students on theNew Brunswick and Piscatawaycampus, the University wel-comed its largest and mostdiverse incoming class this fallwith increases in not only thenumber of first-year students, but also transfer and international students.

After admitting the sizeableclass, the University plans to cutthe current 58 percent first-yearadmissions rate by 4 percent, saidCourtney McAnuff, vice presidentof Enrollment Management.

The University has 6,068 first-year students to date enrolled inNew Brunswick — 70 more stu-dents than last year, he said.

“I think we’re at capacity withtransportation, in classrooms andfinancial-aid wise,” he said. “Weneed to slow growth.”

With the admittance of fewerfirst-year students, the Universityplans to become more selective,McAnuff said.

“In New Brunswick, SAT Iscores, with the average being1,785, are up more than 7 pointsthan last year and 300 points abovethe national average,” he said.“This is with three different sec-tions: math, critical reading and

writing, with a possible 800 pointsin each section.”

McAnuff said the University willcontinue growing, but in otherways instead of accepting morefirst-year students.

“We are retaining more stu-dents, with 600 to 700 morereturning students. We are gradu-ating more, and more keepreturning,” he said. “We are keep-ing this level consistent.”

The student-faculty ratio is current-ly 13-to-1, but some lectures are morethan 200 students, McAnuff said.

Locals convene to seekjustice in Deloatch case

BY AMY ROWEASSOCIATE NEWS EDITOR

About 200 community memberscongregated at the EbenezerBaptist Church on Lee Avenue indowntown New Brunswick for aforum discussion on getting justicefrom the New Brunswick PoliceDepartment (NBPD) almost aweek after an officer shot 47-year-old Barry Deloatch.

Bruce Morgan, president of theNew Brunswick chapter of theNational Association for theAdvancement of Colored People(NAACP), moderated the forum,which was sponsored in part by hisorganization and the AmericanCivil Liberties Union (ACLU).

“I am very sorry we have to behere tonight under these circum-stances,” he said.

Deloatch was shot when a footchase with two officers from theNBPD ended in a struggle in analley near Throop Avenue andHandy Street. He was taken toRobert Wood Johnson UniversityHospital shortly after on Sept. 22and died around 12:37 a.m., accord-ing to a statement from MiddlesexCounty Prosecutor Bruce Kaplan.

The investigation has not deter-mined whether Deloatch had aweapon on him, Kaplan said.

“I don’t know all the circum-stances, but I do know the policestopped [Barry], he ran into an alley,and Barry isn’t with us anymore,”Morgan said. “I’m trying to bringpeople together tonight and I wantus to … formulate a plan to makethis the last death in our town.”

Deborah Jacobs, executivedirector of the ACLU, said her

organization would focus onfighting for justice for NewBrunswick residents.

“Let’s face it, New Brunswickhas had a troubled police depart-ment for a long time,” Jacobs said.“We wrote a manual on how toinvestigate your police department,we can do this with the power ofthe people.”

Jacobs passed out cards to thecongregation, with informationabout what citizens’ rights arewhen they are stopped by apolice of ficer.

“Read it and understand it andknow what your rights are,” shesaid. “Your rights may not berespected, but if you remember totake a badge number down … wecan file a complaint.”

A number of community mem-bers offered their words to the con-gregation about corruption in NewBrunswick and Deloatch’s case.

Walter Hudson, a friend of theDeloatch family and a SalemCounty Community College stu-dent, said he came to NewBrunswick when he heard a dis-tress call.

“I’ve been down to the crimescene. It’s quite strange that a manof small stature in a small spacecould get a bat and get a full swingon two officers,” he said. “Even ifhe did have something, they couldhave disarmed him.”

Walter said the struggle for jus-tice will be a long one but advisedthe congregation to continue.

“It’s going to be a long drawn-out process but we can’t gettired, people,” he said. “It’s time

Project Civility continuessecond year on campus

BY SARAH INTRONACONTRIBUTING WRITER

Project Civility has reached thehalfway mark of its two-year endeavor ineducating University students and facul-ty on the importance of kindness andgood manners toward others.

The initiative was a co-partnershipbetween Senior Dean of Students MarkSchuster and Kathleen Hull, formerdirector of Byrne Seminars.

Hull’s Byrne class, “Ain’tMisbehavin’” used Johns HopkinsUniversity Professor P.M. Forni’s book“Choosing Civility: The 25 Rules ofConsiderate Conduct” as a textbook forthe class. The book ser ved as a model for the project’s mission, Schuster said.

“We originally wanted to have peoplethink more respectfully and act morerespectfully,” he said. “We wanted tocreate a vocabulary and goal aroundcivility and tr y to get students toreframe the definition, making it freshto move it forward.”

In the wake of Tyler Clementi’s deathlast year, the University and Project Civilitygained attention from the media and sup-port from the campus community withthemes focusing on bullying.

But “Words of Hate: Can They EverBe Used,” a debate discussing if hatefulwords used from a disenfranchisedgroup are more civil, jumpstarted thissemester’s scheduled events last week atthe Rutgers Student Center on theCollege Avenue campus.

“By raising issues of civility in the pub-lic forum, Project Civility enables stu-dents to reexamine assumptions offeredto them by the mainstream media andcome together for a more productive dis-cussion,” said Storey Clayton, coach ofthe Rutgers University Debate Union.

Future events include looking at ath-letes as a culture in cooperation withDena Seidel, director of digital story-telling at the Writers House, wherevideos of athletes that have come out willbe shown, Schuster said.

Lecturer connects philanthropy to happinessBY ANDREW SMITH

STAFF WRITER

With charity in mind, theUniversity’s chapter of the philan-thropic group, Giving What WeCan, held a lecture Tuesdayevening on the positive psycho-logical benefits of giving.

The organization, focusingon the general theme of endingpover ty by maximizing theeffects of charity, framed givingin a dif ferent light by dis-cussing happiness and its rela-tion to giving, said NickBeckstead, former president ofthe organization.

“We made this decision to givea large portion of our future earn-ings to charity,” said Beckstead, ateaching assistant in theDepartment of Philosophy. “Aquestion that many of us have is‘How will that affect our own hap-piness and our own well-being inthe long run?’”

Boris Yakubchick, presidentof the organization, presentedinformation on the science of hap-piness and its relation to the con-cepts of giving and charity.

Starting with facts about therelative impact of charity,Yakubchick shared figures indi-cating that the total amount ofmoney needed to save one person— defined as adding an additional30 or more years to a person’s life— is $425.

Assuming a person makes ayearly income equal to that of thenational average, all they wouldhave to donate is one percent tosave a life each year, he said.

Yetzenia Leiva, a member ofthe organization, shared addition-al facts about the relative impactof money that is donated.

“It’s about 50 cents to givemedicine to a kid who hasworms in his stomach,” saidLeiva, a Mason Gross School ofAr ts junior. “They can keep

being better, go to school andall it costs is 50 cents.”

Despite the life-savingpotential of donated money andcharity, Yakubchick exploredideas that questioned whetheror not giving has any ef fects ondonor happiness.

Discussing how happiness iscorrelated to wealth, he elaborat-ed on the idea that across coun-tries, people who earned the mostwere on an equal level of happi-ness in every compared country,

despite the average income inthat nation.

“It’s not the absolute incomethat seems to matter the most topeople,” he said. “It’s the relativeincome. A lot of people actuallycompare themselves to peoplethat earn 10 to 15 percent morethan they do.”

Yakubchick discussed theHedonistic Treadmill, a con-cept that states when a personpurchases material items,despite initial happiness, he or

she eventually adapts to its presence and their happiness wanes.

He said of all the purchases aperson can make, those thatbenefit others have the mostimportant, positive impact onpersonal happiness.

Yakubchick said scientificevidence backed this claimdemonstrating that pro-socialspending activates the sameregions of the brain that areactivated by cocaine usage.

The University’s chapter ofGiving What We Can openedlast December with a kick offevent that featured Australianphilosopher Peter Singer as aguest speaker.

“The members of Giving WhatWe Can are people who have real-ized how easy it is to do largeamounts of good in the world andwho have made a commitment togive 10 percent of their income tothe most effective charities theycan find,” according to the website.

Boris Yakubchick, president of Giving What We Can, explains the Hedonistic Treadmill concept on Tuesday, which states that whenan individual buys material items he or she will eventually get used to its presence over time and lose the initial feelings of pleasure.

Statistics found by the University’s Career Services indi-cate that last year’s batch of graduating seniors are faring bet-ter than past batches.

The Quick Senior Survey, conducted by Director of CareerServices Richard White, found that 31 percent of students whograduated last year found employment, according to a RutgersFocus article. This number shows a five percent improvementover the University classes of 2010 and 2009 in which studentshad a far more difficult time finding jobs.

Nationally, the average number of graduating college sen-iors with a job this year was 25 percent, according to the article.

While the University boasted higher employment numbersin its class of 2011 graduating seniors, White said in the arti-cle that back in the 1990s, about 35 to 40 percent of studentsfound jobs and believes that with the right attitude, studentscan once again reach that number.

White said the key to finding a job is for students to realizethe limits of the economy and to therefore be open to all offers,regardless of whether they believe it is of their standard.

“Thinking back to the class of 2009, there was some realfear and anxiety and uncertainty [among the graduates]because as a country, let alone as a university community, wewere going through an economic crisis that we had not seensince the Great Depression,” White said in the article.

Students are more open to accepting any job offers, saidLauren Silver, who graduated from the University last Mayand is still on the lookout for a job.

“Since I’m a fresh graduate, I haven’t have had time to get myexpectations built up, so I won’t be let down,” she said in the article.

White remains optimistic that, if students adopt a moreflexible and proactive outlook, employment rates will continueto shift in the positive direction over the coming years.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON — TheEnergy Department onWednesday approved two loanguarantees worth more than $1billion for solar energy projectsin Nevada and Arizona, two daysbefore the expiration date of aprogram that has become a rally-ing cry for Republican critics ofthe Obama administration’sgreen energy program.

Energy Secretary StevenChu said the department com-pleted a $737 million loan guar-antee to Tonopah Solar Energyfor a 110 megawatt solar toweron federal land near Tonopah,Nev., and a $337 million guaran-tee for Mesquite Solar 1 todevelop a 150 megawatt solarplant near Phoenix.

The loans were approvedunder the same program thatpaid for a $528 million loan toSolyndra Inc., a California solarpanel maker that went bankruptafter receiving the money andlaid off 1,100 workers. Solyndrais under investigation by the FBIand is the focal point of Househearings on the program.

SolarReserve LLC, of SantaMonica, Calif., the parent compa-ny for Tonopah, is privately held.The Energy Department said itsrules prevented it from dis-cussing the company’s financialinformation. Sempra Energy ofSan Diego, which ownsMesquite, is publicly held.

Energy Departmentspokesman Damien LaVera saidthe two projects had extensivereviews that included scrutiny ofthe parent companies’ finances.

Chu said the Nevada projectwould produce enough electricityto power more than 43,000homes, while the Arizona projectwould power nearly 31,000homes. The two projects will cre-ate about 900 construction jobsand at least 52 permanent jobs,Chu said.

“If we want to be a player inthe global clean energy race, wemust continue to invest in innova-tive technologies that enablecommercial-scale deployment ofclean, renewable power likesolar,” Chu said in a statement.

Senate Majority Leader HarryReid, D-Nev., is a strong support-er of the Nevada project, whichhe says will help his state’s econ-omy recover. Former Gov. JimGibbons, a Republican, also sup-ported the project.

The loan approvals camejust two days before a renew-able energy loan programapproved under the 2009 eco-nomic stimulus law is set toexpire. At least seven projectswor th more than $5 billion are pending.

Rep. Clif f Stearns, R-Fla.,chairman of a House energysubcommittee that is investi-gating Solyndra, said theimpending deadline was noreason to complete loansbefore they are ready.

“Solyndra was the productof a bad bet rushed out thedoor, and taxpayers are now onthe hook,” he said. “We cannotaf ford DOE rushing out moreSolyndras in these final hours.”

Eric LeGrand, a School of Artsand Sciences senior who suffereda spinal cord injury after a footballgame against Army last year, willspeak at the Busch CampusCenter Multipurpose Room Oct. 5as part of “Civility Abilities I: WeBelieve in Eric LeGrand,” saidSattik Deb, director of studentservices for Labor Studies andEmployment Relations.

LeGrand will address ques-tions on overcoming his disabili-ties in order to continue his aspi-rations in sports broadcastingand contributing to the communi-ty, Schuster said.

“Civility Abilities II: Dr.Jennifer Matos and Panelists” willdiscuss the intersections of cul-ture, race, gender, sexuality andclass on Oct. 27 at 8 p.m. at theCook Campus CenterMultipurpose Room, he said.

“Do you Speak Caucasian?” onNov. 17 at 7 p.m. at BrowerCommons on College Avenuecampus will discuss surveys fromculture groups on campus,Schuster said.

A former NCAA football-captain-turned-lawyer, Brian Sims, advocat-ing for the lesbian,gay, bisexual andtransgender (LGBT)community will alsobe present, he said.

At this event,Schuster said athlet-ic directors from theU n i v e r s i t y ,P r i n c e t o nUniversity andC o l u m b i aUniversity will signa pledge to continueor become allies toLGBT athletes.

The spring semester will focuson the environment and commu-nity service on global citizenshipwhere Schuster said he receivedinterest from students to havingan all-day conference in March.

Schuster spoke at a studentaffairs conference over the sum-mer on civility at the University ofMemphis where they have com-mitted and supported addressingcivility for a year, modeling theirown program on Project Civility.

A series of fireside chats,debates andpanel discus-sions followedJohns HopkinsU n i v e r s i t yProfessor P.M.Forni’s kick-offpresentation lastyear, including ac o l l a b o r a t i o nwith The NewYork Times on“What DoesCivility Mean toUs?,” he said.

By the end ofthe last year, Project Civilitybecame too comprehensive in itslogistics, Schuster said.

“We are continuing ProjectCivility this year,” he said. “Butwe are scaling the breadth of it

because undergraduate educa-tion is giving little money and theStudent Affairs office is support-ing it.”

Deb said he believed the initia-tive was successful from thebeginning because it appealed topeople across the spectrum byincluding a wide array of guestspeeches and events.

Although the initiative hasreached its halfway mark, hehopes its ambitions and conceptswill not be forgotten but transi-tioned and sustained by students.

“I don’t think it is ProjectCivility’s final year,” Deb said. “Ithink it will just take a new form.”

Some students, like KatelynHunt, a School of Arts andSciences junior, have supportedthe continuing efforts of instill-ing civility on campus as some-thing needed.

“I think Project Civility is areally innovative thing becauseit brings to the table a platformfor students to talk about thingsthat need to be talked about,”she said.

for us to take our communityback. I apologize to theDeloatch family that theirbrother had to be the straw thatbroke the camel’s back.”

Deloatch’s brother, BennyDeloatch, said the gatheringand the protests, which wereheld everyday since the shoot-ing and will continue, is beyondhis brother.

“If it were my choice, I wantto clean the corruption up allacross America,” he said. “Imight have lost a brother inthis situation, but what he’sabout to do across this world isgoing to have so much impacton everybody for the rest oftheir lives.”

At the same time, BennyDeloatch said he would keepfighting in his brother’s name.

“His spirit is telling me, ‘getthem, they’ve done me wrong,’”he said. “I’m trying to get jus-tice for my brother. I’m tryingto stand up for something that’s right.”

Tormel Pittman, who ledeach protest in the downtownarea, spoke in a hushed voicebecause he raised his voice all week.

“Since Thursday I’ve been inthe streets of New Brunswickyelling and screaming, I wasn’tby myself,” he said. “There’s nocard, no pamphlet, that canstop what these animals do to us.”

Pittman said since everyonemet up in the church last night,they could all assemble outsideCity Hall next Wednesday to con-tinue their protests.

The forum opened andclosed with a prayer fromEbenezer Baptist Church’s pas-tor, Gregory Wallace. After theforum, some walked to ThroopAvenue and Handy Street to see the scene of Deloatch’s death.

President of the RutgersUniversity Student AssemblyMatt Cordeiro, who attendedthe forum, said University stu-dents should be aware of theNBPD’s actions because it isresponsible for their safety.

“This is a city-wide issuethat concerns students. TheNBPD is supposed to protectthem,” said Cordeiro, a Schoolof Arts and Sciences senior.“It’s pretty deplorable the cityhasn’t given a response to theDeloatch family. They’re sup-posed to represent the peopleand they’re falling shor t oftheir job.”

sizes at the University are smallerthan those he taught at theUniversity of California, Berkley.

“It’s smaller in comparison towhat I’m used to. At Berkley, myclasses were 200 to 300 studentswhile here they are between 50and 75 students — I like thesmaller sizes,” he said. “Lastsemester, I had one course thatwas 45 students. That was toosmall for me.”

Anne Gilber t, a par t-timelecturer in the Department ofJournalism and Media Studies,said the increase in admittance

has not af fected her becausethe class size has been consistent.

“I’ve been here for four years,and things have stayed the samebecause it’s been the same room.[Room 105 in Voorhees Hall] canhold the same amount of people,”she said.

The University has increasedin the number of transfer stu-dents and international students,McAnuff said.

On the New Brunswick andPiscataway campus, there are 234more transfer students — 2,382students total, he said.

“Half of them [are] from com-munity colleges, and half fromuniversities and colleges. Wehope to keep that the same level,”he said.

There has also been anincrease in international stu-dents, with most being fromSouth Korea followed by China,India and Malaysia, McAnuff said.

“We have about 500 interna-tional students. It’s up about100 students,” he said. “Rutgersis becoming a popular name worldwide.”

McAnuff said the Universityhas a large number of interna-tional students admitted to theErnest Mario School of Pharmacy.

“Alumni recruit more stu-dents, and it’s by word-of-mouth [that has helped the number of inter-national students increase],” he said.

Caribbean women communicate empowerment through artworkBY ZACH BREGMAN

CONTRIBUTING WRITER

University art history assistantprofessor Tatiana Flores collabo-rated with Middlesex CommunityCollege for a Caribbean art exhibiton display in the college’s StudioTheater Gallery.

The exhibit, called “Disillusions:Gendered Visions of the Caribbeanand its Diasporas,” features paint-ings, murals and traditional dress byfemale Caribbean artists who comefrom various locales includingPuerto Rico, Haiti and Trinidad.

Flores said the exhibitionwould represent women in manydifferent ways and sheds light onthemes in Caribbean art.

“There are [also] representa-tions of seeing the world throughthe eyes of a woman,” she said.“We look at the world in such dif-ferent ways being from so manyplaces in the world.”

Flores said she was happy toinclude Middlesex County Collegein the exhibition process andthought the space was appropriate.

“I work regularly as a curator —I love working with contemporaryartists and setting up exhibitions,”she said. “It’s really about buildingbridges between Rutgers andMiddlesex. A lot of students pass bythe Studio Theater Gallery becauseof its location, and we have muralsthat really draw your attention.”

One artist, Vladimir Cybil-Charlier, said her drawings andassemblages were reflective ofher family.

One of her family members wasan up-and-coming hip-hop musi-cian who was killed in a random actof violence on the street. Cybil-Charlier adorned the photos withdecorative beads to commemoratehim and other family members.

“[My work] is creating a dia-logue with artists about the identi-

ty of women,” she said. “[Taking]something traumatic and ugly andmaking it beautiful was a way todeal with disturbing narratives.”

Family members also inspiredAsha Ganpat, an artist fromTrinidad. Her three-dimensionalarray gave the illusion of objectssitting on a shelf that representeach of her family members. Heruncle’s symbol was a machete.

“The first time I remember visit-ing my uncle in Trinidad was whenI was in my grandmother’s kitchen,and he walked in after he spentabout a month in the jungle, and heput his machete down and satdown in his chair and just staredand didn’t say a word,” she said.

Ganpat also said her art wassupposed to inspire conversationand interaction with Trinidadianculture.

“In Trinidad among my familyand in the immediate surround-ing residential area, there is a

great deal of self-segregationbetween the genders,” she said.“When I visit, the women stayhome and sit on hammocks andcook the food and take care of thehome while the men go out andcheck out women.”

Street artist Sofia Maldonadoalso had her art on display. Shehas painted for 10 years and oftenuses her surrounding environ-ment as her canvas.

“I generally touch on [the]theme of females, with a mix ofCaribbean Latin females who aretall and powerful,” she said ofher large-scale paintings thatfeature women wearing loud,punk-like clothing.

Maldonado said she begangraffiti art in Puerto Rico, wherepeople embraced her art on thestreets. When she moved to NewYork, she had a different experi-ence when she painted her “hoodgirls” mural on a building’s wall,

which represented heavierwomen in an attempt to redefinenotions of the classic beauty.

She said a lot of people wereoffended and protested themural, but she was still proud ofthe connection some felt to it.

“Women from this Latin neigh-borhood in Connecticut felt it rep-resented them. They were reallyhappy that conversation wasopened,” she said. “It [was] a newmovement, breaking stereotypesand causing more self-awareness,and I like that.”

The exhibit will run Mondaythrough Friday until Nov. 8 atMiddlesex County College’sStudio Theater Gallery.

Flores hopes exhibition visi-tors who view the exhibition willgain a new perspective.

“I hope people see the worldthrough different eyes, and seethe diversity of the feminine expe-rience,” she said.

Perth Amboy police of ficials are searching for the man or woman who broke into City Hall over the weekend.

The intruder entered the building, located at theintersection of High and Market streets, through a wood-en window panel situated by an air conditioning unit,according to a mycentraljersey.com article. The intruderkicked open the panel into the annex park of the buildingat some point during the weekend when employeesarrived for work.

While many offices were broken into, Deputy PoliceChief Benjamin Ruiz, said in the article that no valu-able objects were removed and only a pair of sunglass-es were missing. All officers returned back to theiroffices on Monday.

Although this might be the first instance of burglaryat the Perth Amboy City Hall, the building was subject tovandalism in the past, according to the article.

There were cases of vandalism to a telephone poleoutside City Hall last July, which resulted in disrupted

calls to three surrounding Perth Amboy buildings,including City Hall, Alexander Jankowski CommunityCenter on Olive Street and the Perth AmboyDepartment of Public Works.

In regards to last weekend’s burglary, the police havenot made any arrests and are unsure of whether anyjuveniles were involved in the incident. Ruiz said in thearticle that he believes the incident is isolated.

PERTH AMBOY POLICE OFFICERS SEARCH FOR CITY HALL BURGLAR

“I always wonder aboutwhat to order when I’m on adate,” he told me. “As anauthority on etiquette, whatare your thoughts?” I toldhim I had never thoughtmuch about it. Why shouldyou even be worrying aboutwhat you order? I arguedthat the point of a dinner

date is to enjoy getting to know the person sittingacross the table from you, not the food either one ofyou is eating.

Alex had a counterpoint. “If I order a sandwichthat’s falling all over the place, I’m stuck with greasysandwich bits on my hands. Plus then I am in theawkward position of either putting it down and pick-ing it back up while trying to talk or eating it all inone go.” Touché. The best bet, we both decided,was to order something that you could eat with aknife and fork, because it keeps your hands clean,and it gives you the freedom to take breaks to talk.

“And then,” he continued, “what does it mean ifyou order the same thing as the other person? Does

it mean you are afraid to make yourown decision?” I had never thoughtof dinner as being so complicated.But the conversation reminded meof the type of article Cosmopolitanruns in a dating section: “If heorders a bacon cheeseburger withextra onions, is it a sign he’s notthinking about kissing you good-night?” or “What His Food ChoicesReveal About Him: A man’s go-to

meal or dessert says a lot about his personality, rela-tionship style, and even what he’s like in the sack.”That second one is a real article — Google it.

The bottom line is that when it comes to dating,it is absurdly easy to think of things to worry andobsess over. Dinner dates are arguably the moststressful scenarios — there is just you, your dateand your food, with no outside distractions torelieve the tension. Yet they remain popular forgood reason. Dinner gives two people the opportu-nity to talk to each other while enjoying a goodmeal, because generally speaking, everyone lovesfood. If you try to use what you order to project acertain image, you are only hurting yourself bytaking the first step toward a dishonest represen-tation of your likes and dislikes. Are you a manwho enjoys fizzy pink cocktails? Go for it. If you

STORY IN METRO

QUOTE OF THE DAY

T he “Occupy Wall Street” movement is into its 10th day and wehave, perhaps unsurprisingly, seen a number of videos depict-ing police brutality and misconduct. The protests, which

include several hundred people, have occupied Zuccotti Park near WallStreet since Sep. 17, and a 1,000 more joined this past Saturday. Thecause behind the protests is the ever-expanding gap between rich andpoor in the United States, and the government’s inability to do any-thing about it. Why then are police officers, claimed protectors of thepeople and the peace, seen using mace on peaceful protesters?Walking down the streets of New York City, one sees demonstrators onevery corner, why then are the police targeting these demonstrations?

Police officers who participated in brutality against the “OccupyWall Street” movement should be prosecuted. They are not exemptfrom staying within the law, and even less so when the cameras arerolling. Twitter exploded with updates about a friend or a friend-of-a-friend getting maced. And YouTube took it even further with videos ofthe violence. In one of the videos, a girl is seen walking on the sidewalkas part of the protest when an officer sprayed her with mace. Anothershows a man walking along with the demonstration when police decid-ed to apprehend him, even though, as seen on video, he did nothingwrong. The police officers are facing an overwhelming number ofaccounts of brutality, and something must be done.

The truth behind the protests is purely economical. For the firsttime in a long while, students in particular are standing up againsttheir oppressors. For the first time, knowledge of the financial situationand the youth’s future sparked outrage. According to The WashingtonPost, the average college graduate carries more than $27,000 in debtat graduation, and more than 85 percent of the Class of 2011 movedback home. It is the protesters’ right and, to themselves, duty to be out-raged. What has occurred so far has been peaceful and largely calm.This non-threatening method of protesting warrants protection fromauthorities rather than bullying. Perhaps as long as the slow recovery— which is sometimes questionable as well — persists, demonstra-tions will go on, too. But the answer to a peaceful protest should not bebrutality, especially on part of police officers.

I had an interesting con-versation on a long rideto Boston this summer.

I had bolted from my intern-ship near 42nd and 5thStreets in New York Cityright at 2 p.m. to catch myreservation on the Peter Panbus departing from PortAuthority, seven blocksaway, at 2:30 p.m. As I settled into a miraculouslyopen row of seats, I spread out my bags and pre-pared to eat a very late lunch. The bus was set toleave in two minutes. I had finished a crazy work-week, I was about to spend two days with my bestfriend, and I could finally slow down and have ameditative meal by myself. I was in a very Zen stateof mind.

Then one last passenger hurried onto the bus.There were two open seats left: the one next to me,and one next to a scowling bearded man. The pas-senger nudged me —“Is this seat taken?” I reallyneed to improve my own intimidating scowl.

So I put my lunch down and cleared away mystuff, my inner-Zen rapidly disap-pearing. “I’m so glad I caught thisbus!” he told me. “Man, I’m starv-ing. I skipped stopping at Chipotleto make sure I made it on time. ButI made it!” I looked down at my foodguiltily. I had yogurt, which definite-ly had to be eaten, but I resignedlyslipped the rest back into my bag.As a commuter, I had alreadylearned that it is bad etiquette to eatwhen someone is sitting directly next to you — youare both stuck in those seats together, and theymight not be as enthusiastic about the raw onionson your salad as you are. On top of that, this kid washungry. I guess my lunch could wait.

My new bus-buddy struck up a conversationdespite my initial grumpy attempt to be unsocial. Hefinally won over my attention by knowing moreabout the author of the novel I was reading than Idid. (Mario Vargas Llosa’s “Aunt Julia and theScriptwriter.” Read it.)

His name was Alex, and he was a medical stu-dent at the Mount Sinai Medical Center in the city. Itold him I was an intern at a publishing house and asenior majoring in English and history at theUniversity. “I guess you like to write?” he deduced,so I told him that in fact, I wrote an etiquette columnfor the school paper. And, since we were both quitehungry, the conversation naturally turned to food.

Google featureinvades privacy

NYPD must be held accountable

G oogle has a new feature, which takes invasion of privacy to awhole new level. If you just so happen to be a celebrity whosesexuality the public has questions about, then you’re in a

tough position. In one click, Google’s “gaydar” attempts to answer thepublic’s questions. Simply type, “is [name of the celebrity] gay?” andthe search engine will do “its best” to supply the answer. If the issuesweren’t obvious enough already, we have a few objections of our own.

It just isn’t Google’s place to make guesses about people’s sexualorientations — celebrities or otherwise. The company’s capabilitiesexpanded into Google maps, YouTube and a number of other services,but Google gaydar is hardly needed or wanted. It’s gauche.

Apart from the ethics question, we believe there is much more toreport on instead of guessing celebrities’ orientations. It is non-essen-tial information that admittedly could be found only on the Internet,but Google was the last company we expected to resort to this.Instead, the search engine should make an algorithm capable of deter-mining which politicians are or have evaded taxes and how much. Ormaybe how much Google “thinks” Mark Zuckerberg is worth anygiven second. Either possibility would be more tasteful and relevant.

On the question of privacy, there is an obvious problem with guess-ing celebrities’ sexual orientations. It is unclear how Google gets itsresults, and that may be suitable since most questionable celebritiesaren’t fair game, and thus are not included in the results. Many straightand “outer” celebrities, however, are included. In either case, “outed”or not, there is bound to be a blunder at some point, creating a rumorthat spins out of control, as many are known to do on the Internet.Nothing surprising there, with the definition of “viral” now being morewidely used in reference to YouTube or other online videos.

We are all curious to some degree. That’s why Us Weekly andPeople magazines continue to sell while The New York Times is losingrevenue. People are interested and read only what they want to read,rather than the truth. Google’s so-called gaydar is an easily con-demnable feature in the company Internet crown, and a hugelyunneeded one.

After all, we wouldn’t want our sexual orientation — straight orgay — to be outed online, and even less so when it is one of thelargest corporations on the planet doing it.

Miss Conduct

COURTNEY SHAW

was invited to do so? What rightdid the Irvine 11 have to infringeon his rights? I feel the need topoint out what the columnistseems to have forgotten: “I maynot agree with what you say, butI will defend to the death yourright to say it.”

There are many ways toprotest and practice your right tobe heard. But theyshould never be atthe expense ofsomeone else’srights. Why didn’tthe Irvine 11 sim-ply protest outsidethe lecture hall?Or, if they wantedto be seen by theattendees of the event, why notpractice the same form of silentprotest as our world leaders?

At the United NationsGeneral Assembly this pastweek, as Iranian PresidentMahmoud Ahmadinejad wasmaking his planned speech, theUnited States and the 27European Union members allwalked out silently, whileCanada and Israel boycotted thespeech entirely. There was nointerrupting, no outbursts fromthe forum — just a walkout, a

simple yet powerful form ofprotest. Possibly these nationsdid not even approve of theIranian president’s presence inthe assembly forum in the firstplace, but they, in a dignifiedprotest, did not actually inter-rupt his speech. Why didn’t theIrvine 11 try this if they felt theneed to be present for Oren’s

speech? Why did-n’t they just con-duct a counterevent or demon-stration, leafletthe speaker orhold signs in the back?

The Irvine 11were found guilty

of conspiring to disrupt and sub-sequently disrupting a lawfulmeeting, which they did. ErwinChemerinsky, dean of UCIrvine’s law school, denouncedthe prosecution, saying “the factthat conduct violates a law doesnot mean that it should be pros-ecuted,” noting that prosecutori-al discretion tends to take intoaccount whether those beingcharged have already been dis-ciplined or if there is a necessityfor their sentencing. But thedean also rightly said, “The

First Amendment does not pro-tect the right of people to gointo an auditorium and try toshout down a speaker.”

The author of yesterday’scommentary has strong opinionsand a strong voice. And as surelyas the author wrote an op-ed, theauthor wishes for those opinionsto be heard. But opinions cannever be allowed to drown outthe opinions of others, nor cananyone, on any side of any con-flict, be allowed to disrupt apeaceful and lawful meeting.Perhaps the sentence was, asChemerinsky called it, harsh, asthe university had already disci-plined its students for theiractions. But for the author of yes-terday’s column to imply thatthese students were not at faultfor impeding on the ambas-sador’s right to be heard isshameful. Silent walkouts, loudand vocal protesting outside thehalls — these and various otherforms of protest exist. Butimpeding another’s freedomsthrough protest is not freespeech — it’s repressive.

Free speech should work both ways

T here is an oft-quotedphrase regarding thereverence this nation

holds toward freedom of speech,and one that Tuesday’s commen-tary, “U.S. persecutes pro-Palestinian sentiments,” alsomentions: “I may not agree withwhat you say, but I will defend tothe death your right to say it.”And what a wonderful sentimentthis phrase evokes. But its inclu-sion in the commentary alsohighlights the commentary’sunderlying hypocrisy.

Interspersed among variousstrong opinions about theIsraeli-Palestinian conflict, theauthor implied that the actionsof the Irvine 11, a group ofUniversity of California (UC)Irvine and UC Riverside stu-dents who were found guilty ofdisrupting Israeli ambassadorMichael Oren’s speech at theiruniversity, were justified in thatthey were simply practicingtheir right to free speech in apublic forum. But what aboutthe ambassador’s right to beheard, his right to speak as he

COMMENT OF THE DAY

EHUD COHEN

Lettertwo are hitting it off, it shouldserve as an interesting conversa-tion point, and if not, do you real-ly want to be seeing someonewho bases their impression ofyou off the color of your drink? Ihope not.

My only advice for how to bestconduct yourself on a dinner dateis to relax. A good date rides onhow you respond to the situationat hand, and chances are if thingsgo well, the food won’t be themost important part of the timeyou spend together. Take my busride for example. In somerespects, it was the worst possi-ble dining situation — we werehungry, tired and dreaming offood we almost got the chance toeat — but it was saved by a greatconversation. By the time wemade it to Boston, I had forgottento resent Alex for taking my “Zenmeal time” away from me, and Ieven gave him my phone numberwhen he asked for it. Next time,though, our dinner date had bet-ter involve some food.

looking past theduo’s cohesive-ness, one thatimproves boththeir skillsets,they said.

Good friendsoff the field andpartners in thetrenches, Valloneand Francis areeager to make

new memories Saturday, when theKnights visit the Carrier Dome.

It all starts with attitude, andthe Knights have it, accordingto Vallone.

“Just a bunch of fighters,” he said of the team. “Guys that aren’t going to lay down,guys that are going to keep ighting through the tough timesand keep fighting through the good times. That’s whatwe’re about.”

Between waking up a 7 a.m.to lift, practicing tennis forthree hours a day and travelingto tournaments across the East Coast, finding time tostudy in a strenuous field ispractically impossible.

Not only has Slatnick con-tinued to be a leader for herteam, but she also found timeto score in the top percent onher MCATs.

“Leonora is a ver y hardworking athlete,” said ScarletKnights head coach BenBucca. “She is very disciplinedin what she does, and she is sodetermined on the court. Forexample, in her match lastweekend she wasn’t feelingwell, but she didn’t use that asan excuse.”

Slatnick’s perseverancemade hera standouts t u d e n t -athlete forR u t g e r s ,and shehopes herhard workwill set ane x a m p l efor hert e a m -mates.

“It actually feels reallyweird being a senior, but I loveit,” Slatnick said. “Me and therest of the seniors get alongreally well. It’s fun being incharge of the team, decidingon what we do and pretty muchbeing a role model for ouryounger kids.”

With the senior leadershipthe Knights have, Slatnickremains confident her teamwill find plenty of success this season.

“In my experience, ever ytime the team is cohesive andgets along, that’s when we playour best tennis,” Slatnick said.“So that’s a huge factor for us.We have a really competitiveteam this year with a lot of tal-ent, and three freshmen thatbring a lot to the table. I’mreally excited to see how we dothis year.”

Slatnick knows leadingRutgers to a Big East title willnot be easy, and although herleadership is an important keyto the Knights’ future accom-plishments, they also have tokeep up the same winning drive.

“There’s a whole newdynamic to this team, especial-ly with all the freshmen andbecause we lost one of our sen-iors.” Slatnick said. “By theend, it’s very hard to come to practice and keep up theintensity ever yday. It’sexhausting. I think our biggestchallenge is maintaining ahigh level throughout the com-petition season so we can winthe Big East.”

Slatnick is a shining exampleof what it means to be a student-athlete at Rutgers.

She knows about sacrificesin order for her to achieve hergoals. Even with her final yearlooming, Slatnick remains asselfless and determined as shewas when she first arrivedfrom Austin, Texas.

If there is one thingSlatnick learned through herfour years, it is what it takes to be a winner, as well as a role model.

“It’s about representingRutgers as a whole and not justplaying for yourself,” she said.

“We’ve just got to get out of ourstances quicker and get off the ballfaster,” Francis said.“Be more precise onour blitzes and bemore precise on ourpass rush games —just getting the jobdone basically. It’snot an easy thing toget done. If it was aneasy thing to getdone, every onewould do it.”

With Francisand Vallone along-side each other in the trenchesfor the third season, the duoremains more than confident inits pass rush abilities.

Francis, who shifted aroundthe line for Schiano in his career,appears especially zoned in.

WORD ON THE STREET

Georgetown presents the nearestone.

The Knights look to improveupon their 2-1 loss to Villanova onSaturday for the rest of confer-ence play.

“Not only is it a Big East team,but it can make or break our spotwhether or not we make the play-offs,” said senior midfielderBridgette Sands. “We made it a lit-tle harder on ourselves by losingto Villanova last week, so here onout, all the Big East games, weput more pressure on ourselves.”

Rutgers broke out of its los-ing streak Sunday againstBucknell because its of fensetook off in the 3-1 win.

The Knights hope to earnsimilar results against theHoyas (2-7, 0-1).

“We definitely want to burythem early and make sure theyhave no shot at winning thegame,” Sands said.

The Knights could not put itaway early a year ago in their lastmeeting with the Hoyas.

The game went neck and neckuntil Catherine Shugrue, wholeads the Hoyas with four goals,buried a rebound off a save fromgoalie Vickie Lavell to end it inovertime, 4-3.

But Rutgers heads into tomor-row’s matchup with moremomentum than Georgetown —losers of four straight — after theBucknell win.

One number stands out to theKnights about their win: 11 penal-ty corners allowed.

Head coach Liz Tchou said theyhave to reduce the figure if theywant to compete in the Big East.

“We gave up a lot of corners,so inside the 25 we can’t allowthat many corners because oppo-nents still have the opportunity toput the game away,” she said.

Sophomore goalie SarahStuby only allowed one goal toBucknell from the corner shots,but Tchou wants the rest of thedefense to improve in order toprevent those opportunities.

Senior midfielder Kat Rodziewicz last played against Monmouth, and her absence in the midfieldmakes defending Georgetown’s corner shots on the fly even more imperative.

“We have to be stronger[defending] the ball,” Tchou said.“We need to be able to protect inthe circle better. We need to getpressure on the ball a lot quickerthan we are.”

Senior midfielder KatRodziewicz’s absence because ofinjury makes it even more impor-tant to defend the Hoyas’ cornershots on the fly.

The Knights filled the voidRodziewicz left on offenseagainst the Bison with theirthree-goal effort.

To maintain such results,Rutgers looks to get quickershots off against the Hoyas.

“We definitely haveimproved our positioning in thecircle to be able to getrebounds,” Tchou said. “We

need to look for shots a lotsooner at the top of the circle.We have to get the goalie moreoff-angle.”

The Knights can take awaythe promise they showed in thefirst half of the season morethan anything.

But they look to turn thatpromise into wins in the secondhalf, starting with Georgetown.

Growing up 45 minutes fromthe Syracuse campus, JordanThomas has a rare opportunityto return to New York forSaturday’s Big East opener.

Surprisingly, it is also his firstchance to visit the Carrier Dome.

“I’m looking forward togoing home, seeing my friendsand family again, and finallystepping foot in the CarrierDome,” said the sophomorecornerback. “It’s been a longtime coming.”

Thomas had 16 confirmedfamily and friends making thetrip from Endicott, N.Y., at last count, and they couldpotentially see Thomas play anincreased role.

He will continue to returnkickoffs — that much is certain— but he could also see his firstreal playing time on defenseafter lining up last season as arunning back.

Head coach Greg Schianopreviously said he would nothesitate to play Thomas, butredshirt freshman GareefGlashen came off the bench lastweek against Ohio.

Thomas did not.“[We might] mix it up and

get some fresh guys on thefield,” Schiano said. “Maybefatigue is part of our issue. Wewere chasing guys all over theplace on Saturday and I assumewe’ll be chasing them again.”

Although he is new to theposition, Thomas brings an abil-ity to win those races.

He set a sectional record inthe 200-meter dash at Union-Endicott High School — an areathat supports Penn State asmuch as it does Syracuse.

Thomas played cornerbackand safety there, but Rutgersused him as running back as atrue freshman, when he led theteam in rushing.

Then Schiano asked him toswitch to defense.

“I knew coming in it wasgoing to take time,” Thomassaid. “I knew I was going tohave to grind. I knew it wouldbe a process. I’m still gettingadjusted to it, but it’s comingalong smoothly.”

JUNIOR DEFENSIVE ENDMarvin Booker could see hisfirst action Saturday after suf-fering an undisclosed injurybefore the season opener,which he still started.

“I didn’t think so at the begin-ning of the week, but maybenow,” Schiano said. “He’s got achance. He doesn’t look 100 per-cent, but he has a chance.”

Booker repeatedly sufferedsetbacks since the injury, whichforces him to play through pain,but will not get any worse.

Schiano removed thePiscataway High School productfrom the two-deep depth chartearlier this week in favor ofsophomore Marcus Thompson.

SOPHOMORE RUNNINGback Jeremy Deering has notyet caught up to the rest of theScarlet Knights since missingmost of training camp with lin-gering concussion symptoms,and Schiano does not expecthim to.

“I don’t know if you evercatch up because the guys whogot in camp are now movingforward from there,” Schianosaid. “I don’t believe in catch-ing up. What we’re trying to dois get him the things he’sgoing to do only, so we can gethim perfect at doing those.That’s our goal.”

For Deering, that is earningoccasional carries, catching theball out of the backfield and lin-ing up wide, and returningkicks, which he did for the firsttime against Ohio.

SCHIANO EXPRESSEDregret at not making Syracusetight end Nick Provo — one ofOrange quarterback RyanNassib’s top targets — a biggertarget of his own.

Rutgers recruited the 6-foot-4 Provo out of WestPalm Beach, Fla., but did not heavily pursue Provo,who has 15 catches for twoscores and averages 11.7yards per catch.

“We recruited him,” Schianosaid. “We ended up not going,and I’m sure he doesn’t forgetthat, either. We probably madea mistake there.”

The Rutgers men’s golf team did not finish where it hoped at the rain-shortened 36-hole Cardinal Intercollegiate

e a r l i e rt h i sw e e k at the p a r - 7 2Cardinal

Club in Louisville, Ky.The Scarlet Knights fin-

ished 17th out of 18teams with a score of 621.

Sophomore captainDoug Walters, who finished with a 148 and tied for 29th place, led the team.True freshmen JacobStockl and Hyung Mo Kim followedWalters on the team,both posting solidscores in their second colle-giate tournament.

Stockl placed tied for 71stwith a 156, and Kim finishedright behind him with a 157,good for a tie for 74th place.

Junior co-captain JohnFagan, who shot a 160, andsophomore Jonathan Renza,who carded a 171, rounded outRutgers’ scorecard.

Considering the team shot similar scores at the last tournament, in which the Knights finished sixth out of 16, this was undoubtedly a stronger fieldthan they saw at the Rutgers Invitational.

Arkansas—Little Rock beatout Northern Illinois by eightstrokes to win the tournament,shooting 3-under par 573 as a team.

Arkansas also had the top twofinishers, including NicklausBenton, who shot a 7-under 137to win the individual title, top-ping teammate Alfred Kerstis bytwo strokes.

Fourteen players shot underpar, including five eagles.

One bright spot on the squadwas the consistent play from

the two freshmen and Walters.

Stockl and Kimbroke 80 in bothrounds and posted thesecond- and third-bestscores for theKnights, while Walterspaced the team for the second consecu-tive tournament.

Walters was alsofour th best on par

threes in the tournament,boasting a total of 1-under.

The team is now entering alayoff of nearly 20 days — itslongest of the season.

Rutgers will need to take advantage of that practicetime in order to improve on their results of the last two tournaments.

The Knights’ next chance is the Connecticut Cup on Oct.10 in Storrs, Conn., atEllington Ridge Country Club.Following the tournament inConnecticut, they will endtheir fall season on Oct. 22 inBethlehem, Pa., for the LehighUniversity Invitational.

Defensive tackles travel to Dome with clean slateBY ANTHONY HERNANDEZ

ASSOCIATE SPORTS EDITOR

Defensive tackles Scott Vallone and JustinFrancis both remember the last time theRutgers football team paid a visit to the

Carrier Dome. It was not pretty.

The Scarlet Knights defense surrendered31 points and 424 total yards in an eventual18-point loss to the Orange.

Vallone, a junior, does not have many fondmemories from the game.

“I don’t remember too many good thingsthe last time we were up there,” Vallone said.“We’ll definitely be ready to go this time —there’s no doubt about that.”

With the swarming defense head coachGreg Schiano put on the field through theKnights’ first three games, it is easy to takeVallone’s word for the defense’s preparedness.

The unit recovered eight forced fumbles— four last week against Ohio — in its firstthree games of the season and ranks 21st inthe nation with five interceptions.

But the numbers most relevant toVallone and his senior accomplice up frontare 12 and 28.

They are the Knights’ respective sackand tackles for a loss totals prior to takingon Syracuse quarterback Ryan Nassib andhis offense.

Their total of 12 sacks is good for 14thnationally and second in the Big East only toConnecticut, which owns 13 sacks to date.

Along with the squad’s reinvigoratedknack for causing turnovers, a greater focuson pass pressure is also a key to Schiano’sdefensive philosophy.

“We’re just trying to get after the quar-terback as much as possible and maketackles behind the line of scrimmage,”Vallone said.

Vallone and Francis each recorded half asack Saturday, when the front four combinedfor 2.5 total sacks. The pair now leads theteam with the same total.

But Ohio had its fair share of big plays,one of which was a one-handed touchdowngrab in the first quarter over junior safetyDuron Harmon.

Schiano praised the numerous circuscatches Ohio registered, but also acknowl-edged there were many factors in the plays.

A lack of pressure up front may have beenone of them, he said.

But that is exactly what LeonoraSlatnick is doing. Working toward gradu-ation with a major in cell biology and neu-roscience, Slatnick performed above andbeyond expectations both on the courtand in the classroom.

“It’s dif ficult being an athlete and being pre-med at the same timebecause there’s a lot of time constraints,”Slatnick said. “Tennis has taught me how to balance and how important it is to make sacrifices for what I want to do later in life.”
