Alyson Goldman said she grew up visitingmuseums with her family and enjoyed art,but had never considered it a career optionuntil she began college and signed up for anart history course by accident. It ended upbeing her favorite class.
Goldman said she continued taking arthistory courses and became more interestedin the degree as she joined the Rutgers ArtHistor y Student Association and theZimmerli Student Advisory Board. Goldmaneventually found her passion when she heard about ar t restoration in her junior year.
She said she was lucky that her parentswere understanding and supportive of hercareer choice.
Goldman is now one of fifteen college stu-dents participating in the Lipper InternshipProgram at the Museum of Jewish Heritagein New York City this semester.
The EGL Charitable foundation, a familycharity group, founded the Lipper Internshipprogram to provide Holocaust information inpublic schools, said Loren Silber, educator atthe Museum of Jewish Heritage.
Interns in the program work primarily inthe museum’s core exhibit, which focuses onJewish heritage before, during and after theHolocaust, she said.
The material, she said, is especiallyimportant since it lacks a big presence inpublic education.
“Public schools don’t have a lot of time allotted to learn about the Holocaust,”Silber said. “It’s not a major par t of their curriculum.”
Silber said interns attend a rigorous train-ing period eight to nine days when school isnot in session during which they hear lectures and first-hand testimony about theHolocaust. Interns usually stay in a nearby hotel because of the long hours andintense training.
She said they also practice giving toursand visiting classrooms, as well as travel onfield trips where they get to know each otheras they learn.
“It’s a lot of hard work, but it’s a fun andmeaningful experience,” Silber said.
Goldman said hearing firsthand testimonyabout the Holocaust was powerful and keptthe museum’s work in perspective duringtraining because it reminded her of the effectsit had on millions of real lives in the past.
“It’s not just a huge historical event withdates and events,” Goldman said.
As part of her work, Goldman will be givingtours and visiting public schools in the

OUR STORY
“Targum” is an Aramaic term for “interpreta-tion.” The name for the University’s daily papercame to be after one of its founding membersheard the term during a lecture by then-RutgersPresident William H. Campbell. On Jan. 29,1869, more than 140 years ago, the Targum —then a monthly publication, began to chronicleRutgers history and has become a fixture inUniversity tradition. The Targum began pub-lishing daily in 1956 and gained independencefrom the University in 1980.
RECOGNITION
For years, the Targum has been among themost prestigious newspapers in the country.Last year, these awards included placing first inthe Associated Collegiate Press National Col-lege Newspaper Convention Best of Showaward category for four-year daily newspapers.

Educating students on MiddleEastern culture is the main pur-pose behind a new artwork exhib-it held at the Mason GrossGalleries in downtown NewBrunswick.
The Institute for Women andArt is presenting “The FertileCrescent: Gender, Art andSociety,” an exhibition at CivicSquare that integrates motion pic-tures with static photography,paintings and sculptures, all sole-ly crafted by Middle Easternwomen, said Ferris Olin, co-direc-tor of IWA.
The exhibition highlights thework of 10 feminist artists fromthe Middle East and Middle EastDiaspora who found an educa-tional outlet to present their workin the United States, said JudithBrodsky, co-director of IWA.
“Often, women are erasedfrom history,” Olin said. “This[exhibition] was an opportunityto focus the intention on that his-tory that had long been invisible.”
Brodsky said the artworkcould help students understandthe positive aspects of MiddleEastern culture.
“We’ve learned so much aboutvarious issues and ways of life,both negative and positive in the

PROFESSOR RESEARCHESCORPORATE DONATIONS TO
NONPROFITSA Rutgers-Camden profes-
sor’s research on corporatedonations to nonprofit organiza-tions shows that as executivesalaries increase, contributionsdecrease, according toUniversity Media Relations.
“We found that when execu-tives are paid in the top 10 per-cent of our sample of nonprofitorganizations, donations fall offdrastically,” said Erica Harris of the Rutgers School ofBusiness-Camden.
With funding from aRutgers-Camden SummerFaculty Research Grant and thehelp of five Rutgers-Camdenbusiness students, Harris stud-ied more than 900 articles onnonprofit organizations, accord-ing to Media Relations.
Harris said executives athospitals and universities aresome of the highest-paid non-profit leaders.
TATTOOS BECOMING MOREMAINSTREAM IN NJ
A recent Rutgers-Eagleton pollfound that tattoos are becomingmore prevalent among young NewJersey voters, according toUniversity Media Relations.
Almost 40 percent of N.J. vot-ers born after 1980 have a tattoo,while 19 percent of the 916 par-ticipants sport ink, according tothe poll.
Rutgers-Eagleton poll DirectorDavid Redlawsk attributed thepopularity of tattoos to televisionshows with tattoo-laden stars.
“Shows like ‘Jersey Shore’helped bring tattoos into themainstream in the past fewyears,” he said.
Voters under 30 years of ageare 37 percent more likely tohave tattoos, but of those who arenot already tattooed, the pollshowed that only 8 percent planto visit a tattoo parlor, accordingto Media Relations.
DANCE PROGRAM PARTNER-SHIP BENEFITS SCHOOLSThe Mason Gross School of
the Arts and the American BalletTheatre teamed up to open achildren’s division of theJacqueline Kennedy OnassisSchool, according to UniversityMedia Relations.
The program exposes youngdancers to a range of ballet per-formances and ballet profession-als, all while fostering a love forthe dance, said Barbara Bashaw,graduate director of the master’sdegree program in DanceEducation at the Mason GrossSchool of the Arts.
George Stauffer, dean of theMason Gross School of the Arts,said the partnership benefits notonly the students of theJacqueline Kennedy OnassisSchool, but also University stu-dents in the Dance Department.
“We have wanted to strength-en and expand the ballet compo-nent of our dance program forsome time, and our newly forgedalliance with American BalletTheatre gives us the opportunityto accomplish this goal,” he said.
IN BRIEF
Middle East, from the artists,”she said.
Olin, Brodsky’s collaboratorsince 1976, said she traveled toTurkey in 2007 tovisit the Istanbulbiennial, at whichshe saw MiddleEastern contempo-rary art with alarge percentageof women artistsshowcased.
“I was just soexcited by what Isaw that I cameback immediatelyand told Judy thatwe need to do anexhibit on womenfrom the Middle East,” she said.
Brodsky said she worked withOlin to bring visibility to somewomen artists who live in variouscountries in the Middle East.
The title of the exhibition,“Fertile Crescent,” is anothername for the Middle East, whichwas coined by James Breasted, aformer University of Chicago fac-ulty member, and they thought itwould be a historically accuratetitle, she said.
“We were working on apun…on the association withwomen and fertile,” Brodskysaid. “We thought it would attractpeople’s attention.”
After five years of work, the co-directors had a list of 200 profes-sional artists whose work theywanted to bring over to the UnitedStates, Olin said.
She said they were then able tonarrow it down to 24 women from11 countries such as Iraq, ten ofwhom had their artwork dis-
played at the uni-versity.
Ilana Cloud, the“Fertile Crescent”website design andwebsite administra-tor, said someMiddle Easternfemale artists showtheir work in theirhome country, butthey often receivemore attention inthe United States.
“Their govern-ments try to push
it out of the media and away fromthe spotlight, whereas here wewould showcase it,” she said.
Cloud, a University graduate,said she believes the work por-trays a deep understanding of theworld in a way that inspires her asan artist.
She said the artists reallyspeak to her because they conveya sense of realism in their work.
“[The realism] is not just interms of their stylistic manner,but just really capturing a per-son’s attention and saying ‘hey,this is something that I’m reallypassionate about, and you need topay attention to it,’” Cloud said.
Rory Rosenberg, a MasonGross School of the Arts senior,said he learned a lot from theexhibition just a few minutes intoviewing it.
“No matter how much wethink [American artists] are con-tained or silenced, we cannotunderstand how certain cul-tures… don’t allow certain typesof people to be able to expressthemselves in any way that theywant to,” he said.
Other New Jersey institutionslike Princeton University andThe College of New Jersey part-nered with the program to pro-vide renditions of “FertileCrescent” on their own campus-es, Olin said.
Brodsky said artists fromcountries such as Turkey, Iran,Iraq, Lebanon, Israel, Palestine,Kuwait, Egypt, Nigeria, Pakistanand Syria will have their worksdisplayed at “Fertile Crescent”exhibits between the Universityand shared exhibits.
The University has also provid-ed space for the artwork to beshown at Mary H. Dana WomenArtists Series Galleries at theMabel Smith Douglass Library,Olin said.
IWA will be holding an inaugu-ral symposium this Sunday atScott Hall on the College Avenuecampus. Speakers will include“The Fertile Crescent” artists,she said.
The last day for the MasonGross Galleries “FertileCrescent” exhibition is Sept. 9.

She said the program isformed in a way that allows stu-dents to have creative control todevelop and express ideas.
“Students in our programlearn how to create compellingnarratives for the screen whileearning professional productioncredit on award-winning films anddeveloping marketable skills thatwill benefit them as they enter thework force,” Seidel said.
Courses for the programinclude “Digital Storytelling,”“Documentary Filmmaking forWriters,” “Advanced DocumentaryFilmmaking” and“Cinematography,” Seidel said.
The program, she said, isintentionally interdisciplinary sostudents from every major cancollaborate in whichever waythey choose to.
The Mason Gross School ofthe Arts will make use of theRutgers Film Bureau, whichgives documentary students thechance to join a creative teamand aid shaping a long non-fictionfilm while in college, she said.
Daniel Cowen, productionmanager at the bureau andUniversity documentary filminstructor, said the program pro-vides students with the opportu-nity to work on feature-lengthprojects and gain huge produc-tion credits.

“We try to get out to the student body and student[organizations and show] how the legislative processhappens and how they can get their ideas across,” she said.
She said students can learnto lobby ef fectively and get their concerns across tostate legislators.
Navrot, a School of Arts andSciences sophomore, said the committee would also bediscussing two bills to cap tuitions, a bond referendum and a bill to get astudent voting position on theBoard of Governors.
The California Assemblyrecently passed a bill, she said,that closes a corporate taxloophole and provides scholar-ships, which gained the inter-ests of committee member.
“We’re going to do researchon that and see how they didit,” she said. “We may not havethe same tax loophole here,but just to see how they gotthat passed.”
Navrot said a second stu-dent empowerment conferencemay be held at the end of thesemester to bolster ef forts toincrease student involvement.

Michael Endicott, co-chairof the University af fairs com-mittee, also said that studentinvolvement was a big matter.
“The current project thatwe’re working on is tr ying to focus on student dormswhere we can get a lot of peo-ple registered to vote,” saidEndicott, a School of Arts andSciences, sophomore.
Endicott said RUSA wants to organize tables at student centers and dining halls to promote voterregistration in the University community.
Saad Shamshair, chair ofthe academic af fairs commit-tee, said the committee is con-sidering whether to endorseRU Selling, a website aboutbook trading betweenUniversity students.
“The only way you can login is to have a NetID, andthey’ll send you a verificationemail, so that’s how they willprove that you are a Rutgers student,” saidShamshair, a School of Artsand Sciences sophomore.
Shamshair said the commit-tee is in favor of the site, but needs to introduce a reso-lution to next assembly beforeRUSA of ficially endorses it.
Endicott said the RUSAcommittee meeting ser ves as barometer of where thingsare going.
“We’re getting familiar withthe committee and in addition to that, we’re just trying to gauge what peoplewant to work on for the rest ofthe semester,” he said.
process is,” Cowen said. “ Afterthey have gone through thatprocess, it comes in here. Wetake that product and bring it outinto the world.”
Cowen said students couldmake use of two rooms, both ofwhich received their name fromthe film “Fitzcarraldo.”
The first room, called the“Kinski Room,” is where studentscan experiment with footage andare free to explore, Cowen said.
The second room, known asthe “Herzog Room,” is where allfinal edits are made to make thefilm presentable to the public.
Seidel said the center alsorecently contracted award-win-ning filmmakers Ross Kauffmanand Patrick Stettner to work withthe project.
Seidel said the center is look-ing to partner up with studentsinterested in acting for studentfilms and music students who areinterested in composing themusic for the film.
Members in the program arecurrently working on three featurefilms: “Generation at Risk,” “It WillBe Done: Student Veterans” and“Antarctic Quest,” Seidel said.
Seidel said the programhopes to create a new curricu-lum in the future based on thestudents’ interests.
Zack Morrison, a School ofArts and Sciences junior, said theprogram gives students instantaccess to equipment as opposedto other film programs in thecountry, which require studentsto take classes for two yearsbefore touching a camera.
“I am hoping to gain practicalfilmmaking knowledge that Iwouldn’t be able to learn from alecture hall environment,”Morrison said.
Schools visiting the museumare broken into small groups,which are led by “Lippers” orHolocaust sur vivors, Silbersaid.
Silber said kids learn aboutthe Holocaust dif ferently in amuseum setting, because stu-dents have the opportunity todo something out of their rou-tine, sometimes even meetingwith Holocaust survivors.
Goldman said her work at theMuseum of Jewish Heritagereminds her in some ways of thesummer when she studiedabroad in Paris, where shelearned in front of the artworkand buildings rather than lookingat slides.
“[You] teach in front ofobjects, and it’s very differentfrom teaching in a classroom,”Goldman said.
stocks in the S&P index were up.European marketssurged, too.
“There’s just asea of green,” saidJJ Kinahan, TDAmeritrade’s chiefderivatives strate-gist. “It’s prettyfun.”
The U.S. econ-omy was already amonth into reces-sion at the start of2008, thoughmost peoplescarcely knew itat the time. The S&P had recent-ly hit an all-time high, and theunemployment rate was 5 per-cent, compared with the current8.3 percent.
Then, in March 2008, theinvestment bankBear Stearns col-lapsed under theweight of badmortgage bets,and investorsbegan to sell. Thefull financial crisistook hold inSeptember asLehman Brothersfiled for bankrupt-cy, banks stoppedlending to eachother andinvestors began
dumping stocks in earnest.By the S&P had dropped 57
percent by 2009 from its high tohit a 12-year low of 676.
Since then, the index has been
on an impressive if often bumpyclimb. Helping to power it wasunprecedented support from theFederal Reserve, which critics sayhas reignited a dangerous gam-bling spirit among professionalinvestors, and record profits at bigU.S. companies.
Although stocks haverebounded, the broader economyis still lagging. But Barry Knapp,head of U.S. equity strategy atBarclays Capital, said stocks tendto anticipate the future economyrather than reflecting current con-ditions. So the signs are good.
“It can be a misleading forecast-ing tool, but sometimes it’s tellingyou something significant,” he said.“It’s entirely possible the stock mar-ket is telling us that there is a bettereconomic environment out there.”
“We will have a fully effectivebackstop to avoid destructive sce-narios,” ECB President MarioDraghi said at a press conference,in which he also defended the eurocurrency union as“irreversible.”
After the ECBplan wasannounced, theyields on govern-ment bondsacross Europefell and stockmarkets rallied.
“This is apotential game-changer,” saysJ a c o bKirkegaard, research fellow atthe Peterson Institute forInternational Economics. “This is the first time the ECBhas committed its balancesheet in this way. And the way
it is done is politically sustain-able in Europe.”
The ECB’s 23-member govern-ing council approved the plan withonly one dissent. The head of
G e r m a n y ’ sBundesbank, JensWeidmann, oppos-es the plan, arguingthat the ECB ismoving too far inthe direction offinancing govern-ment deficits,which is prohibitedby the EuropeanUnion treaty.
The ECB’spledge of sup-
por t came with an impor tantcaveat: Countries that wantthe central bank to help withtheir borrowing costs mustfirst ask the 17 countries thatuse the euro to buy their
bonds with existing bailoutfunds and they must submittheir economic policies to thescrutiny of the InternationalMonetar y Fund.
That puts immense pressureon financially stressed coun-tries such as Spain and Italy —which have been reluctant toseek help from their euro part-ners — to take the next step.Both countries face borrowingrates that are in the upperrange of what’s sustainableover the long-term.
Spanish Prime MinisterMariano Rajoy refused yester-day to make any commitmentto trigger the ECB bond-buy-ing. “When I have somethingnew, I’ll tell you,” he toldrepor ters at a press conference that was held afterhe met with GermanChancellor Angela Merkel.

population is Latino and 36.2percent is foreign-born, withmore than 52 percent claimingto speak a language other thanEnglish at home, said GailZoppo, media relations consult-ant for the American Conferenceon Diversity.
Williams-Riley said shebelieves the University adds tothe range of cultures found inthe area.
“We are near Rutgers, whichgives us a global window,” shesaid. “There are a lot of studentshere that are international andfrom different parts of the coun-try with different traditions, sostudents can help us by openingup this opportunity.”
But even with all of the diver-sity at the University, Williams-Riley said she hopes studentswill make more of an effort tointegrate themselves with thedifferent ethnic groups that liveoff campus.
“I think that students areaware of the diversity outside ofRutgers because they partici-pate there often,” she said.“Now, how they embrace thatdiversity . . . is dif ferent foreach individual.”
Critics of the city have point-ed that segregation has pushedcertain ethnic groups into
dif ferent areas, Williams-Rileysaid. The criticisms, she said,are not entirely fair becausesome people feel more comfort-able living around people of thesame ethnic background.
“Segregation is influenced bythe different types of policies inplace, but also sometimes its bychoice because of familiarity anda sense of community,” she said.
Williams-Riley acknowledgedthat the diversity has also led to astrained relationship between thelocal public and the police force.
“There have been incidenceswhere the relationship betweenthe public and the police havebeen challenged,” Williams-Rileysaid. “We can’t ignore that.”
Yet Williams-Riley said it is inthese cases that the AmericanConference on Diversity canoffer help and education.
“These relationships[between the police and resi-dents] are influenced by how weperceive the other, and theimages that exist around who canbe considered criminal or a goodcitizen,” she said. “Our role is tohelp people think, ‘How can wechallenge those stereotypes tobuild healthier relationships?’”she said.
Williams-Riley said the impor-tance of diversity-focused organi-
zations would only increase inthe future as it reflects the grow-ing diversity in the state.
“Ten years ago, the diversitywas very different,” she said. “Ifwe look at the census, we canpredict more diversity in thatway. If New Brunswick continuesto provide people with the oppor-tunities to excel, more peoplewill come.”
To celebrate their 65thanniversar y, the AmericanConference on Diversity willkick off a campaign that askslocal residents to make video orwritten submissions about anyef fects diversity has had ontheir lives.
“We want people to sharewith us some of the definingmoments diversity has had intheir lives,” Williams-Riley said.
The campaign, starting inJanuary, will be a yearlong project.
Vicky Hyppolite, a School ofArts and Sciences sophomore,said the diversity found in NewBrunswick is appreciated bymany students and is one of thereasons people enroll in the University.
“I think it’s important to bearound a diverse area when you’rein college so that you can get outof your own bubble and see whatlife is like for people from differ-
ent backgrounds and differentlifestyles,” Hyppolite said.

Big name brands seem to be taking over campus these days — and with the new Barnesand Noble University book store, complete with an in-house Starbucks cafe recently finishedon Somerset Street, the trend continues. What ever happened to the simple mom and popshops of the days of yore? We can’t really remember those days ourselves, but we know we’dsurely miss them if we did. Regardless, the sheer size and scope of the new bookstore — twofloors, 130,000 books and 48,000 square feet of space — kind of frightens us. We dart the newbookstore because it makes us feel small.
It’s a brand new semester and there’s one thing that still hasn’t changed — the timelinessof University buses. Every year, we come back hoping that somehow, someway over break,the University administration heard the desperate concerns of students across campus and,dutifully and conveniently, fixed the broken bus system. But, alas, each year we return to cam-pus and the buses seem slower than ever. Darts to the University’s bus system that makes uslate to class.
The Scarlet Knight football team got themselves some new threads. If you haven’t seenthe team’s new Nike Pro Combat uniforms yet, they’re pretty futuristic looking. The helmetsare brushed chrome, and the pant legs feature a sword-looking design that we’re not entire-ly sure represents. While we’re willing to grant that the uniforms are pretty nice, we also findit ironic that one of the nation’s oldest football teams feels the need to improve it’s identitywith a design that looks more akin to space suits than normal football-wear. Identity crisis,anyone? These new uniforms deserve a dart.
Slick Willie’s still got it. Though it wasn’t the first time he’s wielded it to get his way, former presi-dent Bill Clinton used his good ol’ Arkansas charm to woo a crowd of eager onlookers atthis year’s Democratic National Convention last night. His southern drawl in fullspendor, Clinton went on for a full 48 minutes — roughly twice the time he was allotted— talking on such topics as student loan reform and economic policiy. In all seriousnessthough, Clinton delivered an insightful, content-dense speech that is sure to help placethe democratic nominee and current president Barack Obama in a somewhat softer lightcome November — and for that, we give him a laurel.
On a neighboring planet, champion of the American western Clint Eastwood delivered aspeech to a crowd of equally eager onlookers at last week’s Republican National Conventionin Tampa — although, unlike Clinton, Eastwood spoke for the majority of time to an emptychair. Following the program one viewer tweeted, “this is the perfect representation of thecampaign: an old white man arguing with an imaginary Barack Obama.” Now, we’re willing tolook past this one mistake, mostly because Eastwood’s 82 years old, and secondly because“The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly,” is one of our favorite western flicks, but we’re still going
to have to give Dirty Harry a dart for making an ass out of himself along with the Republican party.

versation with the Universitycommunity and to animate thatevery political discussion is notblack and white, but instead 50shades of gray.
Most political discussions arereduced to sound-bytes and areoversimplified. If there is one thingI can tell you, explaining an entiredomestic tax plan as bivalent is justlike when Animal Farms claim thatfour legs are good and two legs arebad. There are significant com-plexities, nuances and contextsthat are ignored. I want a columnthat addresses the complexitiesand nuances, and avoids platitudi-nous self-promotion and one-
dimensional thinking— becauseunfortunately, most conversationsthat we have about issues that mat-ter are no more substantive thanmy audition column for highschool. They are saturated in max-ims and platitudes and are neversaturated in common sense, will-ingness to compromise, and plead-ing mea culpa.
Around finals of my sophomorespring, I had a panic-attack andself-realization that even though Iwas studying what I loved, veryfew were interested in hiring me— and I had written off law schoolfor probably the n-th time. So, Istarted interning last year for a pri-vate equity research firm, spentthe spring working for a Fortune500 entertainment company, thispast summer working for a majortelecom company, and this fall I’mback in private equity again. I am
intentionally secretive about theidentities of these companiesbecause I do not represent them.Though I am a member of Chi Psifraternity and the Rutgers Inter-Fraternity Council, my views donot represent them either. Pleasedivorce my association with theseorganizations. The views promot-ed in this column are wholly myown and do not reflect the opinionsof any organization I am or was apart of. My column represents myopinions and views as a Universitystudent — no more, no less.
In the sparse amount of spare-time I have, I love going to thegym, screwing around with myfriends on the front-porch of theLodge, cooking, reading thedense books, and talking shopwith any willing soul. When Igraduate, I want to work in pri-vate equity or become a manage-ment consultant. Eventually, I’dlike to get an MBA or a JD,maybe both, who knows.
A closing thought, I’m hopingthat my columns will give you anew vantage point in the worldyou live in and the institutionsyou interact with. I am disinter-ested in converting you to mybeliefs, but I have a vested inter-est in challenging your currentbeliefs and encouraging you touse extreme prejudice in everybyte of information you ingest. Atthe end of the year, if you hold thesame beliefs you had when youfirst started reading my column,but can argue, think, or under-stand them in a more sophisticat-ed way, I consider that a brim-ming success. I’m looking for-ward to writing for the Targumfor the rest of the year.

T here are some who believefast food restaurants areresponsible for childhood
obesity. As a child, I don’t recall driv-ing myself to McDonald’s and pur-chasing dinner. So why are fast foodrestaurants being blamed for child-hood obesity? In reality, anytime wehad fast food for dinner, my mompurchased our meals, which is usu-ally the case for today’s children.So, doesn’t the fault lie with the parents?
Not necessarily. There are anumber of factors, not only the faultof the fast food restaurants.
Cooked meals have been sub-stituted with pizza and burgersbecause parents are too busy toprepare home cooked meals. Wehave become a society of conven-ience, which has led to laziness.How many of us forgo the dininghall and instead grab somethingfrom Dunkin Donuts or Starbucksbetween classes? We don’t maketime to plan ahead to ensure we geta proper meal. I’m guilty of this aswell. We are living in what manyhave dubbed the “microwave” soci-ety. We want everything fast anddon’t want to wait to receive it,including food. Is it McDonald’s orBurger King’s fault that we patron-ize their establishment?
Think about it — if someone iswilling to give you money forgreasy food, would you turn itdown? According to the CDC,between 2009 and 2010, almost 17percent of America’s youth wereobese. Children cannot be expect-ed to learn proper nutrition whenparents aren’t making the time toshow them.
A change in diet is what’s need-ed, but what about the cost ofhealthy foods? Fresh produce costsmore than its processed counter-parts. This disparity among fresh vs.processed is highest among low-income families. According to astudy published in the AmericanJournal of Public Health in 2010,those living in poverty experienceda huge increase in obesity among

I n high school, I applied to bea newspaper columnist andfailed. I wrote some fluffy
piece of borderline propagandapromoting school spirit. My bestfriend at the time was an editorand that wasn’t enough to helpme secure a spot. He told me thatmy column had no substance andhe was painfully accurate. So, asthe story goes, I came to college,made a silly decision to major insubjects that I love — not sub-jects that are considered usefulor even practical by any corpo-rate recruiter — and read theTargum as a freshman. I’ve jokedwith my girlfriend for the pastthree years that I was going tobecome a columnist for theTargum. And now I am.
I was pretty excited to beawarded the position, but I feltmore akin to the Joker as hedescribes that he’s a dog chasingcars and wouldn’t know what todo if he caught one. I spent awhile thinking about what thepurpose of this column is: I couldtry and be funny and witty all thetime a la Maureen Dowd, but per-sonally, she does the trying partand doesn’t get much further. Icould use this column to be asoapbox and scream as loud aswritten word can let me toespouse issues and positions thatare more important to me.

children. Many low-income familieslive in the inner cities where there isless likely to be a grocery store sell-ing healthy or fresh foods. A gallonof milk can cost around $3, but a literof soda can be bought for half thatamount. Those who can’t afford tospend the extra cash will go for theleast expensive in most cases.
Exercise is also a factor whenconsidering the cause of child-hood obesity. When I wasyounger, I can remember playingoutside for hours. We would runaround playing hide-and-go-seekor kickball until it was time for din-ner. Most kids these days don’twant to be outside; they wouldrather remain inside and watch“Phineas and Ferb” or sit behind avideo game console playingModern Warfare. Schools haveeven cut back on physical educa-tion and recess, which was theonly exercise some childrenreceived on a day-to-day basis.
The implementation of the firstlady, Michelle Obama’s “Let’sMove” program is one of a few pro-grams geared toward fightingchildhood obesity. According to theprogram, African-American andHispanic children account for 40percent of obesity here in America.Mrs. Obama’s program is aiming toteach parents and children aboutnutrition, change school lunchesand make healthy foods available toall Americans. By 2030, they hopeto lower the rate of childhood obe-sity to 5 percent. There are thosewho are against the governmentgetting involved because they feelthis may be the first step in the gov-ernment enforcing other rules onwhat Americans should eat, howev-er this program will lead to ahealthier country and decrease therise in weight related diseases suchas diabetes and hypertension.
So next time you go to a fastfood restaurant, remember thereare other options out there. Wehave the option to continue to getour French fries, or take the time tohave a healthy meal. Don’t put theblame on fast food. You are yourown individual.

FIELD HOCKEY RUTGERS-MAINE, TODAY
Knights employ quick pace to battle tough opponentsBY ANTHONY RODRIGUEZ
STAFF WRITER
Coming off of a 3-2 overtimeloss to Temple, the Rutgers fieldhockey team looks to get back ontrack. The Scarlet Knights openup a four-game road stretchtonight, when they take on Mainein Orono, Maine.
The Knights enter the contestwith a 2-2 record, but the teamhas played competitively inevery game. Both of the Knights’losses have come in overtime,including a 2-1 loss to now-No. 12Boston University.
“Every single game is going tobe a battle,” said head coachMeredith Long. “But every game— wins or losses — we are learn-ing and taking positives. We justreally want to compete and beable to compete with the best.”
Long’s goal as a coach is to bringa unique style of play to the Knights,and so far she is doing so. The
Knights have used a more up-tempostyle of play, involving more count-er-attacking and more combinationsat midfield. Long, who won a nation-al championship at Maryland as aplayer, hopes to eventually bringsimilar success to Piscataway.
“I think Rutgers is a team thatcan get to that point,” Long said.“We really have a family here andwe have the people in place toachieve that type of success. It isa process, but I think this teamcan get there.”
But before the Knights lookinto the future, they must firstworry about Maine. The BlackBears — led by sophomore HollyStewart, who has four points thisseason, a goal and two assists —enter the contest with a 1-4record on the season.
Seniors Carlie Rouh andAshley Yanek lead the way for theKnights. Rouh has already rackedup six total points — two goalsand two assists. The Big East rec-
ognized Rouh’s performance lastweek when the earned Big EastWeekly Honor Roll attention.
“The thing I like the best so faris we have a lot of players scoringgoals,” Long said. “The wins havebeen a collective team effort.”
The game against Maine marksthe beginning of the first real roadstretch this season for the Knights.Out of the Knights’ four games,three of them took place at homeand the other at Monmouth, ashort trip from campus.
After facing Maine, theKnights have a quick turnaround.The team remains in Orono onSunday to take on Bryant at noon.
The coaching staff is opti-mistic about the opportunity.
“We are really looking forwardto being on the road,” Long said.“Sometimes it’s nice to just getaway and spend time in the hoteltogether. We do a lot of team activi-ties together on the road, whichdefinitely builds camaraderie.”
Senior Ashley Yanek started all four games this season in theKnights’ backfield. NOAH WHITTENBURG, PHOTOGRAPHY EDITOR
that right now.”Rutgers has naturally experi-
enced some growing pains, mostlyon offense.
The Knights’ youth got off to apromising start in the sixthminute of the season when fresh-man midfielder Mael Corbozassisted a goal for freshmandefender Mitchell Taintor.
Rutgers has yet to score 265minutes later, and breaking thatskid will be a challenge no mat-ter what team the Knights play.
“We have to put ourselves inbetter positions and help eachother out,” said junior wing KeneEze. “We’re a young team, wehave to come together. It’s differ-ent from last year.”
After losing eight seniors andadding 13 freshmen, the Knightsare very different from last year.But both Rutgers teams have onething in common: getting shut outtwice in a row.
Rutgers suffered shutoutstwice last weekend against SIU-Edwardsville and No. 2 Creighton.Iona and Indiana consecutivelyblanked Rutgers last year.
During both scorelessstreaks, Rutgers ended with atough opponent. Indiana was inthe race for an NCAAChampionship until eventualchampion North Carolina elimi-nated the Hoosiers in overtimein the Sweet 16.
Rutgers could use what itlearned against Creighton and take advantage ofPrinceton, which comes of fWednesday’s shutout lossagainst No. 12 St. John’s.
“Just as quickly as we’re 1-2,we could be 5-2,” Donigan said.“That’s the kind of positivemindset, the positive outlookwe have.”

While Villanova and the BigEast season quickly approach,Crooks wants the team to worryabout the two remaining out-of-conference foes before theKnights concern themselves withanything else.

The Knights won all three sets with scoresof 25-23, 25-21 and 25-12. Senior outside hitterKylie Orr and senior setter StephanieZielinski were crucial for Rutgers. Orr led thepack with 13 kills on the night, while Zielinskirecorded her fourth double-double of the sea-son (33 assists and 10 digs).

The Rutgers men’s and women’s golfteams tee off for the first time this weekendto begin their respective seasons on the road.
The men’s team makes its season debut atthe STX Match Play Tournament in Towson,Md. The Knights last competed on May 1,closing out the Big East Championship in11th place.
Head coach Rob Shutte is eager to see theteam get back on the course.
“I think that obviously we’re going to con-tinue what we started,” he said. “I think thatthey guys [are coming] in with a much betterunderstanding of how we operate the pro-gram as professionals and how we carry our-selves and prepare ourselves to play.”
The second-year head coach led a teamlast season with a core of sophomores. Withall of those players returning for anotheryear, he expects the upperclassmen to be acritical part of the roster.
“We’re looking for them to carry the torchin terms of leadership,” Shutte said.“[Senior] John Fagan comes in as a captain,but he needs support there.”

The Princeton men’s soccer team chal-lenged itself by beginning its season withfive consecutive Big East opponents.
The Scarlet Knights (1-2) have their own challenges before conference play,but many have nothing to do with tomorrow’s game against the Tigers (1-1).
Princeton won only five games last year,but it is still a college team.
Thirteen Knights have little experience atthe college level.
“You can’t just bounce back and expect topick up where you left off [last year],” said headcoach Dan Donigan. “There’s going to be atransition period, and we have to fight through

Rutgers head women’s soccer coachGlenn Crooks emphasized the Scarlet Knights’ lack of goal scoring allweek in practice.
The Knights have had a hard time gettingshots off in the early part of the season, despitetheir 5-1 record and No. 21 national ranking.
While goal scoring so far has not hurt theKnights, it will always be a priority. Crookssees other areas of the game that need work,including Rutgers’ mentality and execution inthe first half.
“Early in the match, I don’t think we havecome out yet like we want to,” Crooks said.“We haven’t been poor in the first half, but we
have been better in the second half of everygame we have played. So we have to figureout what that formula is to improve that.”
Rutgers’ only first-half goal this seasoncame in its 4-1 loss to Texas A&M. In thatgame, redshirt freshman forward AmandaDeVolk scored in the 23rd minute before theAggies rattled off four straight scores to com-plete the blowout.
The rest of the Knights’ goals have come inthe second half, including an own goal againstSiena that put Rutgers ahead of the Danes, 1-0.
Against Ohio State, it took a strike by juniorJonelle Filigno in overtime to send the Knightsaway with a win. Filigno’s two second-half goalsagainst Bucknell prevented a loss to the Bison.
It would make it easier on the defense ifthe team started strong in the early stages of
the game. Senior center back ShannonWoeller believes starting off quickly in thefirst half is a priority.
“Just staying connected and being consis-tent [in the first half] is something to workon,” Woeller said. “I think we have done apretty good job so far, but we still have somework to do to work together.”
For now, Rutgers has two out-of-confer-ence games left before they play Villanovanext Friday in its Big East opener.
Its first test is tonight against Stony Brook, which visits the Knights atYurcak Field.
Stony Brook is 4-1-1 with four straight wins,including a 2-1 win against Yale on Sunday.
