in how police dealt with white and black communi-ties within the same towns. He said there should notbe a different standard depending on location.

“This country will never work until it worksequally for everybody,” he said. “We are not ask-ing to be treated dif ferently.”

Sharpton said the problem was two-fold. Acombination of police misconduct with gang vio-lence and thug culture are large factors in thelack of community reaction.

“They are told they are acting white, so thenbeing inarticulate and stupid is being black?” Hesaid. “You cannot create this climate of terror,where you think we will fight for you to be ahoodlum and a thug.”

U. administratorsaddress students’concerns at forum

BY ANASTASIA MILLICKERASSOCIATE NEWS EDITOR

Students had the opportunity to query University administrators lastnight at a Rutgers University Student Assembly town hall meeting inthe Student Activities Center on the College Avenue campus.

Aside from University President Richard L. McCormick, Director forResidence Life Joan Carbone, Director of the Depar tment ofTransportation Services Jack Molenaar and Vice President of Facilitiesand Capital Planning Anthony Calcado were present to answer ques-tions from the campus community.

Jill Weiss, a RUSA College Avenue representative, asked administra-tors why the University holds weekend exams and what they can do toaccommodate the large incoming first-year class.

Vice President for Student Af fairs Gregor y S. Blimling said given the classroom demands, weekend exams are mainly held onSundays because many students are busy on Saturdays with religious observances.

Vice President for Undergraduate Education Barry V. Qualls saidweekend tests are often scheduled to accommodate the large numbersof students who need to take the test at the same time.

“I can’t comment on the tests on weekends. The tests are scheduledas early as a year in advance. … Labs are used almost 16 hours a day,”Qualls said. “We only have a small number of large rooms on campus.… We need more classrooms.”

But more classrooms are on the way with additional spaces in TillettHall, the new business school building and the residence halls underconstruction on Livingston campus, McCormick said.

The bond for higher education issue, which may appear on the ballot in November 2012, will allow state residents to decide if NewJersey could borrow money to build higher education infrastructure, he said.

“All buildings on the Rutgers list will be classrooms,” he said. “Weknow we need classrooms and large classrooms.”

Joseph Cashin, RUSA corresponding secretary, asked McCormick ifthere would be a line-by-line budget published on the Internet or in aplace where it would be visible to students and the public.

“We have decided to star t doing it this year. It’s typically been a one-page repor t with expenditures. … It lacks detail,”McCormick said. “Starting this year, there will be a more detailedreport published on the Internet — [it’s going to be] significantly more comprehensive.”

RUSA representative Ross Kleiman said an aspect of the Universitythat has been overlooked at the University is tradition, such as the dis-continuation of breaking the clay pipes.

Mason Gross students get on track to reduce train ticket pricesBY JOVELLE ABBEY TAMAYO

CONTRIBUTING WRITER

In an ef fort to save studentsa few dollars, Mason GrossStudent GovernmentAssociation, along with theschool’s deans, are making anef fort to help ease the financialburden of students who oftentravel from New Brunswick toNew York City.

Across all Mason Gross depart-ments — music, dance, theaterand visual arts — students arerequired to travel to New York Cityas part of their coursework, saidElizabeth Zwierzynski, presidentof the MGSGA.

“[The school] is investigat-ing the possibility of [lower-ing] the cost of bus tickets forMason Gross students who areoften required to rehearse orcomplete assignments inNYC,” said Casey Coakley,Mason Gross School of Ar ts dean of students, viaemail correspondence.

A round-trip train ticketfrom New Brunswick to NewYork Penn Station costs $26,according to the New JerseyTransit website.

“There’s [a] financial concern for students in allschools and all majors. We will all always need to pay for things needed to survive in our careers,” said Latiana Gourzong, MGSGAvice president.

Gourzong, a Mason GrossSchool of the Arts junior, isenrolled in a mandatory year-long “Architectural Design”course for theater majors that

“Queer Newark: Our Voices, Our Histories”kicked off the Queer Newark Oral History Project,an initiative to train the community to document oneanother’s stories.

At the event three generations of residents andactivists of Newark united to illustrate past and pres-ent voices of Newark’s lesbian, gay, bisexual andtransgender community, according to a RutgersFocus article.

“We’ve created an institution that no one can evererase,” said Darnell Moore, a Newark activist, for-mer associate director of Newark Schools Research

Collaborative and an affiliate of the Institute onEducation Law and Policy, in the article. “Our voiceswill be in someone’s library, in someone’s archive,pushing against invisibility.”

The project aims to recognize the people who arenot normally recognized for their efforts as a part ofthe city’s LGBT community, according to the article.

Organizers of the event found it to be importantthat past generations share stories of experiencesthey lived through to the present generation of theLGBT community, according to the article.

“There was a feeling that the history of queer

Newark was vital for the youth of Newark, at least interms of strengthening and empowering them,” saidBeryl Satter, a professor of history at Rutgers-Newark who launched the project.

Members from Newark’s past generationsrecounted memories from their youth regarding thecity’s view of LGBT and how that view has changedover time, according to the article.

Current members of the LGBT community areable to meet with mentors and local organizations forsupport, something their elders did not have accessto, according to the article.

PROJECT STRIVES TO DOCUMENT NEWARK LGBT HISTORY

requires her to make the tripto New York City.

She said she has to travel atleast once every other week,which adds up to about 50 tripsa year, costing more than$1,000 in travel.

“The trip used to be a weeklyrequirement, so the issue hasbeen raised and dealt with,”Gourzong said. “In the pastthree years, [the professor whoteaches the course] has cutdown as much as he can. Heunderstands it’s a concern, andhe’s done all he possibly can.”

Aside from transpor tationcosts, students must also payan entry fee for many of thegalleries and exhibits theyhave to visit, she said.

Katie Hector, MGSGA treas-urer, said the cost of travelingto shows can be a problem.

“Visual arts majors need to seevarious shows and galleries in NewYork and be able to name contem-porary artists [that] we’re inspiredby or interested in. But because ofcosts, it’s a burden to get to theseshows,” said Hector, a Mason GrossSchool of the Arts sophomore.

Hector said in theDepar tment of Ar t Histor y,professors often require stu-dents to visit the MetropolitanMuseum of Art in New YorkCity and write a research paperon artwork.

Professors also require stu-dents to submit proof that theyhad gone to the museumthrough taking pictures of them-selves with the artwork, she said.

“Students are so restricted[with] time and funds, so they willtry to take shortcuts,” Hector said.

“So there are all these check pointsprofessors use, so there’s no way toget around it.”

Mason Gross School of theArts Dean George Stauffer sug-gested a monthly Coach bus as away to make it more beneficialto students, Gourzong said.

But the group realized itwould be impractical because ofthe size of the program and theinfrequency of the bus, she said.

“It wouldn’t have benefitedenough students,” Gourzong said.

Another suggestion involved abus-ticket raffle for students at theStudent Activities Center on theCollege Avenue campus, saidZwierzynski, a Mason GrossSchool of the Arts senior.

“It’s in the works, but whatwe’re trying to do is providestudents a discounted way totravel to New York,” she said.

The best option for theMGSGA and the Mason GrossSchool of the Arts deans is to findcheaper individual bus or traintickets for students because of thesize and complexities of the cours-es, Gourzong said.

“It adds up really quickly,”Hector said. “Either you pick a dayand get everything done in one day,or you end up spending more than$100 in transportation.”

Terr y Murray, founder ofthe “Streets” project, an organ-ization that tries to re-educatelow-income communities, saidhis son Terry Murray Jr. wasgunned down in 2008 inElizabeth, N.J., and a suspectwas never caught because thecommunity did not speak tothe police.

“There was a code of silenceon the street. Nobody wasgoing to snitch, and that code

of silence put a criminal backon the streets,” he said.

Elizabeth Police DepartmentDetective Daren Williamsonpushed the community to helpthe youth to change their focusand idols, including rappers. Hesaid in police-community rela-tions, education is the key to future.

“Do not drop your books inexchange for guns,” Williamsonsaid. “We need to be prospectsand not suspects.”

Alexandra Lawson, an attor-ney with the NationalAssociation for theAdvancement of ColoredPeople, said the community

needed to learn what the rulesof law are to avoid beingwrongly arrested.

“In the event that you are inthe situation, if you think thearrest was illegal, even if youdo not believe you were right-fully arrested, you can’t resistarrest,” she said. “You need tofight it out in court.”

Religious leaders also spoke at the forum and encour-aged the community to step up to stop violence in the community.

Rev. Kevin Jones of theSharon Baptist Church said hewas disappointed in the community’s inaction beforethe shooting of Deloatch. Hesaid the community must keep-working together to enhancethe community relations.

“It’s a shame that we have towait for a tragedy to happen forus to act,” Jones said.

Minister James Muhammadof the Nation of Islam Prison Reform Ministr y inBirmingham, Ala., said individuals spending theirmoney on alcohol and exces-sive food are wasting the community’s money.

“Gangs do not come out ofnothingness. They fill a voidthat is empty,” he said.

Walter Hudson, a communi-ty activist, asked the NewBrunswick residents in atten-dance to use the advice thespeakers gave.

“I hope you use the knowl-edge that is given to you afteryou leave the church. Do notleave the knowledge,” he said.“It is empowerment for you togo out into the streets and fightthe injustices.”

students must swipe their RUIDcard for print access.

Another issue presented toMcCormick was the recent deathof New Brunswick residentBarry Deloatch, who on Sept. 22was shot after an altercation withNew Brunswick police.

“The shooting death thatoccurred this fall was indeed atragedy,” he said. “I applaudthe concern and the outreachthe dialogue they have voiced.I am deeply concerned aboutthe quality of policing. … Idon’t see a role for the leader-ship of Rutgers in this issue.”

McCormick said there areelected of ficials in NewBrunswick who are lookingfurther into the issue. But hesaid he did not see a role forthe University in this case.

RUSA also shared theresults of their annual “What’sOn Your Mind Month” survey,where the University Af fairsCommittee collected informa-tion throughout the past monthto find out the needs and wantsof the student body, said RUSAPresident Matt Cordeiro.

“We find out what sort ofproblems they are having, whatdirection we are going in as a

University … the direction wewant to go in and how to get tothere,” said Cordeiro, a Schoolof Arts and Sciences senior.

Of the 1,993 responses,most who answered were first-year students and females,with females accounting for 60 percent of responses,Kleiman said.

Questions included how stu-dents felt about the capacity onbuses, if students receivedtheir first choice of housing,how students felt about thequality of study areas, the qual-ity of recreation services andhow students bought theirbooks, he said.

Kleiman said the questionthat concerned him was one where students wereasked whether they felt con-nected to New Brunswick andits businesses.

On the issue of student con-nection to New Brunswickcommunity as a whole, 41 per-cent of those sur veyed dis-agreed, he said.

“It’s an ongoing effort,” hesaid. “It’s the third year on the‘What’s On Your Mind’ surveyto help guide the administrationand help guide RUSA.”

“[An] increasing feeling ofdisconnectedness at theUniversity wouldn’t seem toofar-fetched,” he said.

Qualls said since theUniversity consolidated all itscolleges in 2007 to form oneinstitution, new traditions are emerging.

Scott Siegel, RUSA treasurer,asked Vice President forInformation Technology andChief Information Officer DonaldSmith if he plans to increase com-puter printing on campus.

“There are plans to increaseprinters. At the art historymuseum, [we are] putting aprinter in there. In the B.E.S.Tdorms, there are printing facili-ties in there. The newLivingston facility will haveprinters in there,” he said.

Smith said the Universitysaved millions by creating athreshold of 1,500 printing pages.

On average, students print 400pages per year, he said. Pagesprint double-sided by default, and

She said the community wasresponsible for the deaths of the youth.

“The Ku Klux Klan neverhas to march again,” she said.“We’re killing our own selves.”

Bowser advised the com-munity to take action beforethe police become involved.

“We need to come together.We need to take back ourstreets. We need to police ourstreets,” she said.

Sharpton said the blackpopulation should stop the useof the “n-word,” because it per-petuates a lack of respect.

“Don’t allow yourself tobecome merchants of nega-tivism, especially by calling[each other] by disrespectingnames,” he said. “We mustdemand that the NBPD respectus, but we must show how werespect each other. It’s alsoabout us.”

United Youth CouncilChairman Salaam Ismail saidthe group held the forum toteach the community about theirrights as citizens and to inspireactivism concerning what needsto be done in the city.

“This is a teach-in. This isnot a town hall meeting. Thisis not a rally. This is not aspeak-out,” he said. “There areexperts here, to educate [thecommunity] on various dif fer-ent subject matters.”

Attendees also learned aboutprojects working to reducegang violence.

Ohio mancharged withattemptedassassination

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BOISE, Idaho — An Idahoman accused of firing anassault rifle at the WhiteHouse believed he was Jesusand thought President BarackObama was the Antichrist,according to court documentsand those who knew him. Atone point, he even suggestedto an acquaintance the president was planning toimplant computer trackingchips into children.

Oscar Ramiro Ortega-Hernandez, 21, was chargedThursday with attempting toassassinate the president or hisstaff. He is accused of firingnine rounds at the White Houselast Friday night — one of themcracking a window of the firstfamily’s living quarters — whenObama and the first lady wereaway. If convicted, Ortega facesup to life in prison.

Ortega was arrestedWednesday at a westernPennsylvania hotel when a deskclerk there recognized him andcalled police.

Ortega’s public defender,Christopher Brown, declinedcomment after his first courthearing in Pennsylvania.Ortega’s mother has said hehas no history of mental illness,though when authorities werelooking for him, they reportedhe had “mental health issues.”

In Idaho Falls, where Ortegais from, a computer consultanttold The Associated Press thatthe two met July 8 after Ortegaasked for help editing a 30-minute infomercial. MonteMcCall said that during themeeting at Ortega’s family’sMexican restaurant, Ortegapulled out worn sheets of yel-low paper with handwrittennotes and started to talk abouthis predictions that the worldwould end in 2012.

“He said, ‘Well, you knowthe president is getting ready tomake an announcement thatthey’re going to put GPS chipsin all the children, so they’resafe,’” McCall said. “... Andthen he said, ‘That’s just whatthe Antichrist is going to do tomark everybody.’”

Kimberly Allen, the motherof Ortega’s former fiancée, saidhe had been well-mannered andkind in the four years she hadknown him. But he recentlybegan making statements toher daughter that were out ofcharacter, including that hebelieved he was Jesus. Allensaid the family was worriedwhen he went to Utah recently,where he said he had business,and didn’t come back. Ortega’sfamily reported him missingOct. 31.

Allen said they were flabbergasted to hear he waswanted in Washington.

“I believe that the boy needs help,” said Allen, ofShelley, Idaho.

Her daughter, JessicaGalbraith, was engaged toOrtega and is the mother oftheir 2-year-old son. Shedeclined to comment Thursdayexcept to say: “I love him, andI’m here for him.”

City council discusses restaurant regulationsBY DANIEL GARBER

CONTRIBUTING WRITER

New Brunswick City Counciladdressed issues over theTropicana Bar and Grill onWednesday night, as the estab-lishment’s owner and neighborsdebated the imposed restrictions.

Residents questioned its sta-tus as a restaurant and asked thecouncil to maintain noise restric-tions and police presence at the 2Georges Rd. building.

The city implemented specialconditions on the establishmentin July, Assistant City AttorneyT.K. Shamy said. Music is to beturned off at midnight, and extra-duty officers are stationed out-side the Tropicana from 10 p.m.to 2:30 a.m. on Fridays, Saturdaysand Sundays.

“The council wanted to findout how the restrictions have

“The Puerto Rican Discover Day” celebration last nightmarked the beginning of a three-day event in Perth Amboythat aims to celebrate Puerto Rican heritage through a vari-ety of activities such as music, film and art exhibits.

The Puerto Rican Association for HumanDevelopment Inc. will host the series of celebrationson Saturday, in honor of the discovery of the country,according to a mycentraljersey.com article.

A screening of “The Legacy of 21,” a film based onthe life of late Puerto Rican baseball player RobertoClemente and featured interviews with former andcurrent baseball players, was shown last night at theAlexander Jankowski Community Center in PerthAmboy, according to the article.

Festivities will continue on Friday with “CelebrandoNuestro Cultura,” or celebrating our culture, a musical

festival at the center that will also include art and poet-ry, according to the article.

There will be a Mass held at 9 a.m. on Sunday, thelast day of celebration, at the Our Lady of FatimaChurch on Smith Street followed by a Puerto Ricanflag-raising ceremony at noon at the Perth Amboy CityHall Circle near the intersection of High and MarketStreets, according to the article.

worked due to the concerns of res-idents in the area,” Shamy said.

Harry Ayala, Tropicana man-ager, complained about the nega-tive effects of police presence andthe music curfew on business.

“Since we have had therestrictions, it’s changed 100 per-cent,” Ayala said. “People startleaving when we turn the musicoff. … We cannot keep our busi-ness with this restriction.”

Detective Michael DeBonispraised the results of the restric-tions but questioned the Tropicana’sclassification as a restaurant.

“I’m viewing this as a successto the neighborhood because ofa decrease in calls … but [theTropicana] is in my opinionbeing marketed very aggres-sively as a tavern or club,”DeBonis said.

He said the frequent occur-rences of intoxicated customers

leaving the Tropicana disruptedthe residents living nearby.

Neighborhood residents gen-erally supported the restrictionsand suggested Tropicana be mar-keted as a bar.

“I can tell you that the restric-tions have made the neighbor-hood quieter in the early hours ofthe morning,” said neighborhoodresident Maria Pellerano. “I amjust asking that you continuethem and make them permanentbecause our neighborhood is notzoned for a tavern.”

But some believe theTropicana owners should haveexpected the consequences.

“[They should have known] thewisdom of setting up a bar in aneighborhood that’s not zoned fora bar,” said Peter Montague, aneighborhood resident. “It’s not upto the neighbors to bail them outby allowing the quality of life in the

neighborhood to be degraded sothat they can make a few dollars.”

Steven Gomez, a member ofthe Tropicana management, saidthe restrictions are bound to shutdown the company.

“At midnight, when the musicis turned off, the customers allleave and find another bar,”Gomez said.

Council President RobertRacine said there were manyinstances of complaints.

“Evidently, it’s not just[Montague]. There are other peo-ple as well … you can’t be callingthem liars, [that] they don’t hearthis music,” Racine said.

The council also tabled thesidewalk bicycling ordinance withplans to reintroduce it at a futuredate. The ordinance would reinsti-tute a ban on sidewalk cycling. Itwas introduced in 1893 beforebeing eliminated last year unknow-

ingly along with another ordinanceregarding bike registration.

“There’s some further infor-mation we’re gathering. … Theordinance is going to be changeda lot more than what was original-ly there,” Racine said.

Possible changes to the ordi-nance include the issues of agerestrictions for cycling on theCollege Avenue andCook/Douglass campuses,Racine said.

Community organizer CharlieKratovil presented a number ofconcerns to the council as well,including the absence of videorecording and broadcasting thecouncil meetings.

“We all are aware that manytowns broadcast their city counciland Board of Education meetingson cable television. … The city hascontinually refused to do so,”Kratovil said.

recognize that the degree offreedom of speech andpotential for success in thecountry is astounding. Ifyou open your eyes a bitwider though, you mightsee a different picture of theUnited States than the onemost commonly promoted.Liberty can be defined as

having the freedom to think or act without beingconstrained by necessity or force. “Not being con-strained by necessity” is key. Having liberty andbeing free is as much a matter of having options inlife as it is not being physically isolated from socie-ty. People in jail are not free because they are phys-ically kept from living their public life. This is thesame for slaves, who are usually physically limitedto the land of their master — their options of move-ment are extremely limited.

Is it fair to say that people are only slaves whenthey are constrained physically?What if thousands, millions, tens ofmillions of people are constrainedjust as forcefully, yet in a differentway? The people I speak of have veryfew options in life, because they werenot properly educated or becausetheir communities were neglected,remained undeveloped and con-served for uses that more politicallypowerful ones would not accept. Is itfair to say that masses of high schooldropouts in urban districts and even

the high school graduates that received poor edu-cation are free? Does a person really have liberty ifthey are constrained to a menial, low-skilled job?Not to demean these jobs, as they do have value, butthey should not be a person’s only option.Regardless of how ubiquitous opportunities foradvancement are in the United States, there areplenty of people with too few options to be consid-ered free. Perhaps we should acknowledge that lib-erty is not absolute, that the fact that someone livesin a free country does not make them free. Havingthe freedom to choose is meaningless if you don’thave many options to choose from. Recognizing thisreality should lead people to involve themselves inthe decision-making that will determine their liber-ty and the liberty of others.

QUOTE OF THE DAY

W hen President Barack Obama campaigned in 2008, one ofthe criticisms raised against him was the assertion that hewas an elitist who was disconnected from the American

people. Herman Cain seems to be taking strides to assure that thesame accusation will not be made against him. At a campaign event inNew Hampshire, the Republican presidential candidate reportedlyannounced, “We need a leader, not a reader.” Cain made the statementas an attempt to defend his poor job of demonstrating his foreignpolice knowledge. According to The Associated Press, Cain believes“the president does not need to know every detail about every coun-try.” He may not need to know every detail, but he should make aneffort to know as much as possible. We give Cain a dart for defendinghis ignorance instead of owning up to his flaws.

As Thanksgiving rapidly approaches, so does the holiday’s lessheartwarming, money-draining brother, Black Friday. While somebrave — or possibly insane — shoppers love the rush of standing inline at midnight, waiting for the outlet mall to open, this is not a uni-versal feeling. In response to a Tampa, Fla., Best Buy’s decision toopen at midnight for Black Friday, store employee Rick Melaragni hasposted a petition on Change.org condemning the store for puttingprofits before people and preventing its employees from enjoying a fullThanksgiving holiday with their families. In the words of Melaragni’spetition, “All Americans should be able to break bread with loved onesand get a good night’s rest on Thanksgiving.” We give Melaragni alaurel for rallying against one of America’s biggest flaws: letting greedget the best of us, even during the holiday season.

Gov. Chris Christie regrettably resorted to the slippery-slope falla-cy on Wednesday night when speaking out against Obama’s healthcare reforms. Speaking at the University of Delaware, Christie sug-gested that the health care reform could lead the government downthe road into micromanaging the lives of its citizens, asking, “What’snext? I am mandated to eat broccoli?” Christie is usually far better thanthis when it comes to tackling issues he dislikes head-on. It is rare tosee him resort to these weak, illogical games when he is on the offen-sive. We give Christie a dart for his remarks. If our governor is goingto criticize health care reform, we expect him to do so intelligently.

Jamie Tworkowski, who spoke Tuesday night to a group of stu-dents at the Rutgers Student Center on the College Avenue campus,has been working to promote his vision of a world free of depression,addiction and self-hate. He is the founder of the nonprofit movementTo Write Love on Her Arms and has spent most of the past five yearsspreading his message of hope in the face of struggle. Nearly 20 mil-lion individuals suffer from depression in the United States,Tworkowski cites. He adds that depression is the leading cause of sui-cide, and suicide itself is the third leading cause of death. As collegestudents deal with the daily tumults associated with classes, relation-ships and financial situations — life in general — it’s important to real-ize many of our own peers may be struggling with such issues. Wegive Tworkowski a laurel for founding the movement and urging any-one who may be struggling with depression or addiction to seek help.To Write Love on Her Arms may be the place to start.

The list of green card holders currently journeying on that longroad to citizenship in New Jersey may come as a surprise to many —400,000, according to Anastasia Mann, program director for theEagleton Institute of Politics’ Program on Immigration andDemocracy. In an effort to make this list just a bit shorter, the Instituterecently held its first citizenship ceremony, naturalizing a total of 34candidates from Middlesex and Somerset counties. We applaud theInstitution’s efforts in assisting this process. Though we here at theUniversity may sometimes take for granted our status as home to oneof the most diverse communities of students in the nation, it’s impor-tant to realize that the state in which we reside also shares this char-acteristic. The University community, as well as the state, is a meltingpot of cultures, ethnicities, backgrounds and traditions — and withabout one-quarter of New Jersey’s residents being foreign-born, wehave only these individuals to thank for this standout diversity. TheInstitute, as well as all those who participated in the ceremony,deserves a laurel. Despite our differences, it’s nice to be united underone common name — we’re all Americans.

O ther than securingyour life, securingyour liberty is the

most important function ofgovernment. Ensuringthese two things is arguablythe reason why governmentexists in the first place. Howwell a democracy works,how well politicians legislateand how well a society in general is arranged shouldbe judged by how successful it is in ensuring lifeand liberty. Examining liberty, however, is not near-ly as straightforward as examining life. It’s obviouswhen someone has life. It’s not obvious — and as amatter of fact, it is often very difficult — to tell whensomeone truly has liberty. It’s extremely importantto acknowledge that the presence of liberty in acountry is never absolute. It changes from time totime and even varies depending on different peopleand communities. One should not ask if they haveliberty, but rather, how much libertydo I have? It’s a matter of degree.

Why does recognizing that libertyis variable and trying to understandit better really matter? Simplybecause liberty is something every-one wants and is willing to fight for. Ifpeople are satisfied with the amountfreedom they have and think theycannot be any freer, they will notfight for their rights or the rights ofothers. Unfortunately from my expe-rience, American society and manyother societies are cultured to think of liberty asblack and white, as a quality that either does or doesnot exist. If you are in jail, you are not free. If you arenot in jail, then you are free. Therefore, people seemto be slightly apathetic, politically uninformed andless demanding when they live in a “free country.” Ifyour country has already granted you liberty, whybother the government anymore? Why engage inpolitics on a daily basis? Because of this satisfactionwith the perceived state of liberty, American civicculture is very weak. Many people don’t vote duringpresidential elections, most people don’t vote duringlocal elections or even know who their local repre-sentatives are, and, worst of all, those that signifi-cantly lack liberty are largely ignored or misunder-stood, because they live in a free country.

It is honestly difficult to recognize the nuancesof liberty when you live in the United States, thefreest country in the world. Although I am no radi-cal nationalist who believes the United States is aperfect nation that can never do wrong, I do

committee could care lesswhat type of food is there.

Two things come of this —one, if the grease trucks areable to change their operationsto align with the University’scode, they will be fairly consid-ered through the biddingprocess. Two, we, the studentsand greater community, willhave an opportunity to voiceour opinions as to what wewant in our food trucks onCollege Avenue. Keep youreyes and ears open to a surveythat should be coming out

soon gauginginterest in whattype of foodtrucks we wantto see in Lot 8.

The otherclarification I feelnecessar y tomake is the issueof making the

trucks mobile again. The claimthat this spells the greasetrucks’ demise is baseless. Thenew standards will require thetrucks to return to a home baseof operations to take care ofsanitation issues, like foodpreparation, cleanings andrefrigeration, during the hoursof night when New Brunswick’sbusinesses are prohibited fromconducting business. The aver-age University student will noteven notice the mobility of thetrucks as they will leave the lotafter 2 a.m., when they wouldordinarily close and returnbefore the average studentwakes up.

one to have a great day is nicebut to hope that it comes true iskind. Kindness is not merelydoing what we would comfort-ably do, but also going out ofour way for others. Inspired bythe principals of kindness,Rutgers Shalom/Salaam, theMuslims Against HungerProject, Rutgers Hillel and thePakistani Student Associationwould like to invite you to “ThePeople of Abraham UnitedAgainst Hunger,” which is aninter faith community serviceevent in which Christians,Muslims and Jews will preparehundreds of meals for the hun-gry and learn more about eachother’s faiths. Abraham, the firstmonotheist, was known for hisremarkable kindness — he even

designed his tent with fourentrances so that he might greetvisitors, both strangers andfriends, from every direction.He is viewed as the father of the

three monotheistic faiths, and itis fitting that his descendantsunite together in his nameinspired by the kindness that

has inspired so much of theirfaiths. We encourage anyone,regardless of religion, to join usin this undertaking this Sunday,Nov. 20, at the MuslimFoundation Inc. Mosque at 47Cedar Grove Lane in Somersetoff Easton Avenue. From 8 to11:30 a.m., we will be preparingthe food for the homeless.Afterwards, we will providelunch and hear from variousspeakers as they describe theimportance of topics such ascharity and prayer. Later, we willbring the food to various loca-tions to feed the hungry.

The event starts early but donot be deterred — we arehappy to have students show upfor as long as they can andwhenever they can, as there

will be various programminghappening during the day. Ifyou can provide any cold weath-er clothing for the homeless, itwould be greatly appreciated asthe winter is rapidly approach-ing.

O ne of the greatest les-sons I have learned atthis University has

been the meaning of kindness.To put it as simply as I nowunderstand it — being nice isthe surface and being kind isthe deeper level of concern forothers. A kind person is some-one who genuinely cares for thewellbeing and happiness of oth-ers and demonstrates itthrough his or her actions. It isnot others’ perception of themthat compels kind people, butrather the desire for the better-ment of themselves and othersthat is their compulsion to acton their kindness. To tell some-

I have spent the better partof the last few days doingsocial media damage con-

trol for the latest “controversy”to hit the University. Thisalleged grease truck contro-versy holds that the Universityis tr ying to get rid of thegrease trucks and with them, astoried tradition that hasbecome a cultural and iconiclandmark. While I am not sur-prised that the media haslatched onto thisstor y and por-trayed it as some-thing controver-sial, I feel it nec-essary to restatethe facts. Mygoal here is toreassure you, theUniversity com-munity, that you will be able topurchase fat sandwiches in Lot8 on College Avenue.

As a student representativeto the committee reviewing allof this, I can say that theUniversity is not trying to getrid of the grease trucks. Theproposed plan is intended tobring the current standstill upto code, and that is all. TheUniversity has standards thatall food vendors have to abideby and a process for choosingwhom to go into business with.To be consistent with its pro-curement procedures (theprocess of choosing vendors),the University is opening upthe parking lot to a market bidof mobile food venders. Aslong as the entities that applyfor bid fulfill all the require-ments of health inspectorcodes, sanitation, environ-ment, etc. and are able to paythe rent needed to cover coststhe University incurred (sothat student money is not sub-sidizing their existence), the

He has to earn a spot on the podi-um first, something two Cowboywrestlers can already claim.

Parks finished fifth at the NCAAChampionships last season, while133-pound junior Jordan Oliver wonthe national title with a dominanttrek through his bracket.

“That kid’s on a whole other levelthan anyone else in the country,”said Rutgers head coach ScottGoodale. “He’s the national champ,and he’s thinking about the Olympicgames next year. It’s a good oppor-tunity to wrestle the best guy in thecountry, maybe the best pound-for-pound wrestler in the country.”

Every member of the Knightslineup will be tested, and only twowill be favored.

Junior Scott Winston out-ranksOklahoma State sophomore DallasBailey by three spots at 165 pounds,but “even that’s a toss-up,” Goodale said.

Junior Gregory Zannetti wres-tles in the only weight class theCowboys do not have a rankedwrestler: 174 pounds.

It is the type of challengeRutgers sought when it reached outto Oklahoma State after last sea-son’s national tournament andentered a four-year contract withone of only two teams to have a rep-resentative at the tournament inevery weight class.

“What else do you want?”Goodale said. “It’s the highest levelof Division I wrestling.”

ALEX VAN DRIESEN / STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER

Freshman forward JP Correa dribbles past Colgate defenders last night, when he scored the game-winning goal in the 81st minute.The goal gave the Knights a 3-1 lead before they added to their tally with a Colgate own-goal and allowed a goal in the 89th minute.

The Knights first got on theboard when senior midfielderBryant Knibbs sent a laser from21 yards out that snuck justunder the crossbar for the goal.Colgate midfielder StevenMiller, the Raiders’ leading scor-er, responded just two minuteslater, when he capitalized on a

Rutgers turnover to knot thescore at 1.

“Getting on the board firstdefinitely helps us get out andget the momentum started,”Knibbs said. “After we scorethough we need to come outeven harder. We would be evenbetter if we kill the minutes afterwe score.”

Aside from the two goals, thefirst half was characterized by nearmisses and missed opportunities.

Donigan and Co. breathed asigh of relief after Miller sent a

ball wide left of an open goalonly a minute after his game-tying goal. The Raiders’ nextattempt on goal was more on tar-get, but junior goalkeeper KevinMcMullen got his fingertips onthe shot to make the save.

On the other side of the field, ashot on goal in the 28th minute byCorrea barely touched the goalline before Colgate goalkeeperGrant Reed knocked it away.

“I thought the first 15 min-utes we played great and wewere really taking it to them,”

Bourdeau said. “After that, wesort of lost the game a little bit.”

But the Knights survived andhave a short turnaround to takeon fourth-seeded Boston College.

“I know [Boston College coach]Eddy Kelly very well.

Oliver also continues herpush on the glass, averaging9.5 on the season.

Stringer will likely empha-size the post game againagainst the Explorers, asLaSalle (1-2) boasts one of theyoungest and smallest front-courts the Knights will playthis season.

LaSalle’s tallest playersdown low are 6-foot-2 IndigoDickens, 6-foot-3 Oma-ah

Freshman forward Jada Payne,who is 6-foot-2, leads the Explorers in scoringafter three games with a 12.7 average.

The visitors took only 21shots in the second half, com-pared to Rutgers’ 21 second-halfmakes. Sacred Heart also suf-fered 22 turnovers.

“[Miller] should be the leader,”Rice said. “He just went and said,‘This is what upperclassmen do.’He literally lifted us up.”

The Knights offense finallyemerged in the second half, as well.

Six players scored in doublefigures, the team’s highest total byfar through three games and itsfirst since December 2005. OnlyMiller, sophomore Austin Carrolland freshman Eli Carter scored atleast 10 points in a game enteringthe contest.

Rutgers still struggled initially toput an inferior opponent away athome. It held a 14-point lead afterbeginning the second half with a 22-4 run, but the Pioneers kept them-selves within reach before theKnights’ talent ultimately took over.

At some points the Knightscould do nothing wrong.

Freshman point guard JeromeSeagears returned from an ankleinjury to track down a loose balland make a spot-up 3-pointer. Heconverted a finger roll while fallingaway from the basket on a foul. AndBiruta’s early foul trouble did notcost the Knights for the first time.

Still, during other stretchesthere was no cure, despite an 11-player rotation at Rice’s disposal.

Carter and Seagears com-bined for 16 points in the first 20minutes, but the Knights couldnot mount a consistent offensiveattack during the stretch.

Rutgers trailed by eight points inthe first stanza, failing to reboundimmediately following its first loss ofthe season Tuesday at Miami (Fla.).

The Knights were some partsstagnant, other parts shaky and allparts unpredictable. But after 40minutes they were again victors.

“We finally got to playingtogether as a team,” said Seagears,the team leader with 17 points.“There were definitely some grow-ing pains, but it’s about that timefor us to succeed.”

Mario Mason calls it the matchup thatnever happened.

Dating back to high school, Mason and hisSouth Jersey coach, John Johnson, wantedMason to wrestle Tulsa, Okla., native Jamal

Parks at a nationaltournament.

It never hap-pened.

Mason wanted tomeet Parks again lastyear in the NCAA

Tournament, but with their spots on oppositesides of the 149-pound bracket, it would requireMason matching Parks’ march to the final eightand All-American honors.

That did not happen, either.They finally meet tonight, when the 16th-

ranked Rutgers wrestling team takes on Parksand No. 3 Oklahoma State in Stillwater, Okla.

“[Johnson] always thought [Parks] was a tal-ented wrestler and wanted to see the match,”

Mason said. “He didn’t have doubts in me win-ning the match then, and now he’s still coachingme and still wants to see how it goes. I plan oncoming out and winning.”

Mason consistently ranked Nos. 1 or 2 in thenation as he won four state championships atBlair Academy. Parks consistently ranked Nos. 3or 4 while he won three Oklahoma state titles.Those rankings are reversed now, as Parksenters the matchup ranked second nationally andMason fourth.

Mason wrestled once at Oklahoma State’sGallagher-Iba Arena, where the Cowboys wres-tled for the more than 60 years, while he was atMinnesota.

He is excited to return to the 13, 611-seatarena, but he is equally excited to follow lastweekend’s 149-pound title at theBrockport/Oklahoma Gold Classic with thetoughest matchup on his schedule.

“I have full confidence that I’m coming outand winning the match,” Mason said. “That’show you have to look at it. I don’t want to sound

Mike Rice long pleaded with the Rutgersmen’s basketball team, especially its jun-iors, to produce a consistent effort during

the preseason. The head coach

did not get his wishearly last night at theLouis BrownAthletic Center, but

20 minutes’ worth was enough for the ScarletKnights to secure a 91-75 victory againstSacred Heart in the Cancun Challenge opener.

“It always starts and ends defensively,”Rice said after the Knights erupted for 59second-half points. “We finally made simpleplays. That was the difference.”

Sophomore forward Gilvydas Birutahelped the Knights awake from their first-half doldrums on an alley-oop freshmanguard Myles Mack was content to serve up.

The play started with a Biruta steal on thedefensive end and finished with a frenzy fromthe home crowd on the opposite end. But thecatalyst on defense was junior wing Dane Miller.

The Rutgers men’s soccer team had toscratch and claw to earn enough respect fortheir at-large bid before last night’s firstround NCAA Tournament matchup againstColgate at Yurcak Field.

It seemed only fitting the goal that pro-pelled the Scarlet Knights (10-6-3, 6-1-2)past the first round was their first penaltykick of the year.

The penalty goal came after a Colgatedefender shoved sophomore Kene Eze tothe ground inside the 18-yard box. Senior

Nate Bourdeau stepped up to take the freekick and buried it into the left corner ofthe net.

The Knights added two more scoresfollowing Bourdeau’s goal to beat Colgate,4-2, and advance to a second-roundmatchup Sunday at Boston College.

“The penalty kick definitely turned thetide a little bit. It definitely took the windout of their sails,” Bourdeau said. “Theguys on the other team were kind of talk-ing, trying to get in my head, but youdon’t want to listen to that. You have toimagine you are at practice and no one iswatching you.”

A Colgate goal in the closing momentsdid not matter, as an insurance goal byfreshman forward JP Correa and a Colgateown goal after the penalty kick effectivelyclinched victory for the Knights.

“The penalty kick — that can be decidedby whoever. But that penalty kick obvious-ly changed the entire complexion of thegame,” said head coach Dan Donigan. “Itgave us the chance to kind of take a breathand start to manage the game a little better.[Colgate] is a very good side, and that PKis very impactful.”
