The Board of Directors of the RutgersUniversity Student and Alumni FederalCredit Union want to merge with theRutgers Federal Credit Union, but somemembers of the board allegedly stand to

benefit by eliminating the student credit union.

“This [merger] is a back-door deal that notonly benefits these people, but hurts [the stu-dent credit union, which] is run entirely bystudents,” said a member of RUSAFCU, thestudent credit union, who wished to remainanonymous. “We want to see the student

credit union remain on campus and continueto be run by the students.”

Student Credit Union Vice President ofMember Services Aimee Becker andStudent Credit Union Member StanleyBozin, a retired United States Navy admiral,sued the Student Credit Union Board ofDirectors on behalf of all 2,700 members of

the student credit union last week in a class-action lawsuit.

“[The student credit union looks] out for stu-dents in a very cost-effective way with our cur-rent system, and the replacement will not havethe students’ interests in mind,” Becker said.

Post-war decade planted seeds for campus growthBY MARY DIDUCHASSOCIATE NEWS EDITOR

The 1950s may be famous for poodle skirtsand greasers, but a look into the University duringpost-World War II America shows similarities to aschool that has grown significantly over the years.

In the late 1940s and early 1950s, the all-maleUniversity — then Rutgers College — saw aninflux of students with the passing of the G.I. Billin 1946 after World War II, which allowed veter-an soldiers to attend college for free.

Professor Hans Fisher, who first came to theUniversity in 1946 and then stayed as a nutritionprofessor, said before he arrived, the Universitycombined had 500 to 700 students. After the bill,his incoming class alone had 1,110 students.

“The University was totally unpreparedfor this onslaught when I came,” he said.

This may be familiar to the many studentsliving in hotels off-campus today because of ahousing shortage.

The cafeteria, originally in Winants Hall onthe Old Queen’s campus, had to be relocatedto the College Avenue Gym, Fisher said.

Jim Van Vliet, Engineering School Class of1953, said many first-year students lived in

old army barracks off-campus called theRaritan Arsenal, for there were not enoughresidence halls.

Another alternative was living in one ofthe 21 fraternity houses, he said.

“At that time it was an important compo-nent of campus life,” said Van Vliet, a mem-ber of Theta Kappa Epsilon. “There were lim-ited dormitories on campus.”

University Archivist Thomas Frusciano saidthe University constructed the River Dorms onthe College Avenue campus in the 1950s. TheUniversity’s library also moved from its smalllocation, where the Jane Voorhees ZimmerliArt Museum is now, to the larger AlexanderLibrary on the College Avenue campus.

Harold Kaplan, Rutgers College Class of1957, said when he entered school, it was afterthe rush of veterans. His class had about 600first-year students.

The smallness of the school is somethinghe admired.

“You got to know the professors a littlebit better because it was on such a small-er scale. Ever ything was smaller and

Students at the all-male University in the 1950s take an exam. During this decade, theUniversity saw a rise in enrollment from an influx of World War II veterans returning to school.

U. to fix potholes afterstudent drivers complain

BY CHRIS ZAWISTOWSKI STAFF WRITER

Bump, thud, clank and rattle. For drivers entering and exiting

University parking lots and garages,these are sounds that have become alltoo familiar, with potholes strewnacross the pavement of the lots.

Lisabeth Matyash, a commuter whoparks in the Douglass parking deck,pointed out the many divots in thegarage’s surface, including a big oneright at the entrance of the garage.

“It doesn’t matter how much youswerve out of the way, because youalways hit it,” said Matyash, School ofArts and Sciences first-year student.

Many students said the Douglassparking deck isn’t the only garage withthe issue.

Katrina Lundgren, a School of Artsand Sciences junior who parks onLivingston campus, said there isuneven pavement all around the park-ing lots on campus.

“I park in the Yellow Lot, and it is alljust one big pothole,” Lundgren said.

All these potholes could add up tobig problems for drivers, said DavidWeinstein, the AAA Mid-Atlantic man-ager of public affairs and government,in an e-mail correspondence.

“Depending on the size of the pot-hole and the speed of the car, damage

can be anywhere from quite seriousand expensive to non-existent and onlyjarring and surprising to the driver whodrove through one,” Weinstein said.

On the quite serious and expensiveside of pothole damage are blown tiresand damaged rims, undercarriage dam-age, and steering and suspension prob-lems, He said.

To prevent such damage, theUniversity is taking action, saidDirector of Transportation ServicesJack Molenaar.

A consultant was hired to assess thestatus and quality of every lot to helpdevelop a 10-year capital plan to improveand potentially repave many of the park-ing areas at the University, he said.

The capital plan would determinewhich lots should receive repairs first.

Following the assessment, theDepartment of Parking andTransportation Services can start plan-ning out which lots they should workon each year based on which have themost need and how much moneyshould be put aside each year to com-plete the repairs, Molenaar said.

The final report should be done withina month, and repaving on some lots couldbegin as early as next summer, he said.

The department works with UniversityMaintenance to keep parking lots clean,

Residents can sleep a littlebetter tonight knowing thatUniversity Assistant ExtensionSpecialist Changlu Wang is con-ducting research on bedbugprevention. This comes on theheels of rising numbers of bedbug cases in New Brunswickand the Northeast.

Wang is conducting ento-mology research on dif ferentways people can prevent thestart and spread of bed bugs inan af fordable manner, especial-ly considering the highdemand for new ways to com-bat bed bug infestation.

“[The Northeast] is proba-bly one of the most infestedareas in our country. I have torespond. I receive a lot of ques-tions because I have that exten-sion [position]. … So naturallyI have to do research on this soI can have the information,”Wang said.

Bed bugs live in furnitureand come out only to feed ontheir host. Humans are com-monly victims because bedbugs are attracted to carbondioxide and blood.

“They are attracted by heat andcarbon dioxide. They are attractedto your breath,” said Wang in aRutgers FOCUS article.

But bed bugs were not alwaysso prevalent in this area. Due to

Changlu Wang, assistant extension specialist, examines bedbugs in his laboratory in orderto find an alternative extermination method to DDT, a harmful chemical banned by the EPA.

ANDREW HOWARD/ PHOTOGRAPHY EDITOR

the now-banned pesticidedichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane,better known as DDT, bed bugswere nearly extinct, according tothe article.

“[DDT] was very strong, veryeffective, but of course, in modernstandards they are too strong, toodangerous,” Wang said.

Wang said since DDT was sopotent, the EnvironmentalProtection Agency decided toban its use in homes because theresidue can stay in a house formore than 50 years.

Now with the increasingnumbers of people traveling toforeign countries and bringingback the insects, as well asfilthiness in urban areas, thebed bug has made a comeback,he said.

Wang uses different contrap-tions in his experiments to deter-mine infestation, such as a catfeeder-like mechanism used asboundary at the leg of a piece of furniture.

The first circle of the devicemeasures how many bed bugsare in the room and preventsthem from getting to the furni-ture, he said.

The second circle determineshow many bed bugs come fromthe furniture itself and preventsthem from infiltrating the rest ofthe room.

“The compound that attractsbedbugs also kills them at highdoses. Wang and his assistant,

[Vincenzo] Averello, will testthe lethality of various carbondioxide concentrations andexposure times,” according tothe article.

Averello, a School ofEnvironmental and BiologicalSciences sophomore doublemajoring in genetics and ecolo-gy, was attracted to theresearch because it involvedboth of his interests.

“It has a bit of an ecologyelement to it, with a sense of

[what] a whole population isdoing. … Because ef fectivelyall studies are populations, [andthat’s] what it comes down tohere,” Averello said. “So that’spart of why I came here. … I’vealways had a thing for bugssince I was a little kid.”

Maria Camacho, a School ofArts and Sciences sophomore,is fearful of the recent bed buginfestation in the area andwould like to see ef fectivechange in prevention.

“I feel like someone has to getthe job done. So at least he’s doingsomething about it,” Camachosaid. “And hopefully it’ll be some-thing productive that has results.”

For the meantime, Wang sug-gests that everyone be carefulwhen they go to other homes andcheck to see if there are anybrown spots on the sofa that mightseem like bed bug infestation.

He also suggests regularlychecking furniture and rooms forany possible signs of infestation.

and when necessary they repairpotholes, Molenaar said.

“We try to keep [the parking lots]in good working order,” he said.

Molenaar said if the depart-ment knows a parking lot is goingto be affected by construction,they would not spend the moneyto make major repairs on it.

An example is the often-criti-cized Lot 66 on Busch campus,

A credit union is a not-for-profitfinancial institution organized,owned and operated by their mem-bers, according to the studentcredit union Web site. Earningsabove operative expenses arereturned to members throughlower rates on loans and higherinterests on saving accounts.

Last month, the Student CreditUnion Board of Directors votedand agreed to propose a mergerwith the Rutgers Federal CreditUnion, also called the faculty creditunion, said Becker, a RutgersCollege senior. But out of the legal-ly required five members of theBoard of Directors, four should nothave taken part in the vote.

Student credit union Board ofDirectors members who voted forthe merger were Vice ChairThomas O’Shea, Treasurer MichaelReilly, Secretary Jeffrey Miller andDirector Michelle Featherstone,

therefore a little more unique,”Kaplan said.

He said the school was so smallthere was only one security officer.

“We were good kids,”Kaplan said.

The campus was not controver-sial and it was very quiet, Fishersaid. This was mostly a result ofthe large role greek life played.

“Many students felt that it wasvery prestigious to be in a frater-nity or sorority, and that wascompletely different from earliertimes,” he said.

The veterans who came to theUniversity right after the passageof the G.I. Bill did not care aboutgreek life, Fisher said.

“When the veterans weren’tcoming anymore, fraternitiesresumed,” Fisher said.

he said. Though the lot may needrepaving, Molenaar said a hous-ing unit is going to be built on thelot soon, so it would not makesense to pay money for repairs ifthe lot is not going to be there afew years from now.

“They are already in the plan-ning stages [for constructing thisunit] … and so there is no reasonfor us to spend money on itbecause that would be a big wasteof money,” Molenaar said. “We areconstantly looking at things likethat to make sure that we are notspending money on things that arejust going to get ripped out.”

Though Matyash and Lundgrenagree the University should workharder to repair potholes, they alsoacknowledge that filling them iseasier said then done.

Matyash said repairing thepotholes would require studentsto park in other lots or higher inthe garage, potentially causingparking problems on campusbecause many of the lots arealready filled to capacity.

Lundgren said the Universityhas more pressing prioritiesthan potholes.

“I don’t know if that’s the num-ber one concern right now,” she

said. “They have more importantthings to worry about. NewJersey is just filled with potholes.”

Until they are repaired,Weinstein said students shouldabide by the number one pothole-avoiding behavior when driving:pay attention.

“If you’re paying attention anddriving reasonably fast, you havea good chance of avoiding the pot-hole, particularly if it’s a routeyou drive often,” Weinstein said.

He said other drivers havelearned how to avoid potholes,and this can be easily done if driv-ers are more aware of the roads.

“You can see other driversavoid it and you can, too, if you’repaying attention,” Weinstein said.“But if you’re yapping away or haveyour eyes off the road, chances areyou’ll drive straight into it.”

Molenaar encourages driverswho find potholes in parking lotsand garages to let TransportationServices know by visiting its Website, www.parktran.rutgers.edu.Under the “Contact us” section,click on the “Parking Lot Signs,Meters, or MaintenanceProblems” link to report the issue.

“I don’t like seeing big pot-holes, either,” Molenaar said.

Frusciano said social life wasmainly formalized in sopho-more hops or military balls. Thecampus, like the decade, wasvery conservative.

Three professors — Sir MosesFinley, Abraham Glasser andSimon Heimlich — were dismissedfor allegedly being Communistsympathizers during the Red Scareof the McCarthy Era, he said.

Fisher said he remembers thefaculty members being singled out.

“They were being accused ofgiving a different slant to teach-ing students,” he said.

But people on campus did notfear Communists, Fisher said.

“In all honesty, I don’t thinkthe undergraduates were even asnearly politically aware as theyare today,” Van Vliet said. “I thinkwe were kind of oblivious.”

There were few, if any,protests on campus, he said.

“[The World War II veterans]were determined to pursue theAmerican dream,” Van Vliet said.

“They weren’t about to be spend-ing time protesting.”

Frusciano said the war hadgiven the University a mix of menfrom high school and older veter-ans, many of whom were married,had children and lived in trailersin University Heights, now knownas Busch campus.

“They were a different type ofstudent, a student that had expe-rienced war,” he said.

The 1950s also saw theKorean War, which lasted from1950 to 1953.

As the draft was still in effect forthose not enrolled at school full-time, the Reserve Officers’ TrainingCorps service in the army or airforce was required for first-year stu-dents and sophomores, Van Vlietsaid. After that, it was optional.

University students had otherrequirements that were removedover time.

The students were requiredto have Saturday classes,Fisher said.

“And there was no way to getout of it,” he said.

First-year students were alsorequired to wear skullcaps called“dinkys,” Frusciano said.

But the changes did not stop there.

The 1950s, under formerUniversity President LewisWebster Jones, saw the conversionof Rutgers College from a small lib-eral arts college to a major stateschool, Frusciano said. The Boardof Governors and the Board ofTrustees was established in 1956,tying the school with the governor.

“It really solidified our relation-ship with the state of New Jersey,”he said.

But some of the aspects theUniversity is famous for todaywere not there in the 1950s.

The University’s currentreputation as one of the mostdiverse institutions alsoevolved through time, as mostof the students in the ’50s werewhite males.

There were few black stu-dents, and his class had only oneor two Asians, Van Vliet said. Thelargest, identifiable ethnic minori-ty at the University at the timewere Jewish students.

The New Jersey College ofWomen — renamed DouglassCollege in 1955 — remained exclu-sively for women until theUniversity became co-ed in the1970s, Frusciano said.

But one of the most importantchanges the University saw was anew and improved mascot: theScarlet Knight.

The students voted in 1955 tochange the mascot, Fruscianosaid. They felt the mascot at thetime, the Chanticleer fightingrooster, was a source of ridicule.

Van Vliet said he cannot believehow the University has grown.

“We were the little, pseudo-Ivyleague college in the 1950s,” VanVliet said. “And now, like it or not,we are a major state University.Things have changed.”

Becker said. Chairman Ken Burenwas absent from the meeting.

The faculty credit union rentsspace from the Second ReformedChurch of New Brunswick, whereO’Shea is a member of the congre-gation, Becker said.

O’Shea is also the CEO ofAspire Federal Credit Union,which committed an investment tothe Fynanz private student loanprogram. Before the vote to mergewith the faculty credit union,O’Shea made an agreement withFynanz to offer private loans toUniversity students, she said.

O’Shea declined to comment.“If the merger goes through,

under the leadership of the facul-ty credit union, the student creditunion will not be able to giveloans to students,” said the anony-mous member. “Fynanz will bethere instead.”

Becker said the origination feespaid to Fynanz for student loans aremore than what is paid to the stu-dent credit union.

Reilly was the other Board ofDirectors member in an allegedconflict of interest.

Becker said Reilly is in theBoard of Directors of the NewJersey Credit Union League,which has a marketing agreementwith Fynanz. They compensatethe league for promoting their pri-vate student loan program.

“If the merger happens, the NJCredit Union League would bepaid dividends for the investmentin Fynanz,” she said.

The two remaining memberswho voted for it are allegedly ineli-gible to be on the Board ofDirectors since they did not haveaccounts with the student creditunion during the time when theintent to merge was up for vote,Becker said.

If Becker does not win thecase, the vote to merge will be upto the members to decide during astudent credit union meeting of allmembers in December, she said.

“The meeting is on Dec. 11 at 3p.m. which is the final day of the fallsemester before exams,” Beckersaid. “At a time when everyone isbusy with different things, proba-bly no one will be able to show upto vote against the merger.”

The next court date is to takeplace on Nov. 19, she said.

“There is no comment by theRutgers University Student andAlumni Federal Credit Union on thepending litigation,” said Miller, whosaid he is the current Board ofDirectors’ acting chair. “We areaware of what is happening. Wehope to have everything sorted outin the best interests of the creditunion and its matters.”

Aside from the Board ofDirectors — who allegedly individu-ally look to benefit from this deal —is the faculty credit union, who appar-ently have a reason to look favorablyat this merger, Becker said.

The Federal Credit Union is at aloss this year while the studentcredit union has a rising amount ofmembers, she said.

According to the faculty creditunion’s Financial PerformanceReport, their membership declinedby at least 25 percent last year.

The student credit unionmembership rose by 16 percent,according to their report.

While the faculty credit unionhas a lot more money than the

student credit union, it stands tolose $1.2 million of their netassets as part of a mortgage fraudcommitted against them by U.S.Mortgage Corp.

Becker said they need aninvestment in capital to get awayfrom their precarious position,so a merger would be favorableto them.

The faculty credit union islocated in a rent-free space onBusch campus, the anonymoussource said. In the University’scurrent fiscal condition, they maybegin to charge rent to the facultycredit union.

If Becker wins the lawsuit,members of the Board ofDirectors will have to stepdown. The members of the stu-dent credit union will elect anew board and the intent tomerge with the faculty creditunion will be nullified.

“We want to provide opportu-nities for students in a cost-effec-tive manner for everyone,”Becker said. “This merger underthese terms won’t be beneficialfor students.”

Dining etiquette is just asimportant to know in the busi-ness world as dressing andcommunicating correctlywhen looking for a job, andstudents got a chance to learnall the basics Wednesday at“Dining Etiquette” in theBusch Dining Hall.

Kelly Burckhardt, unitmanager and recruiter at thecompany Altria, said when sheis interviewing a potentialemployee, she takes them outto lunch to see how they con-duct themselves.

Sponsored by Altria, theevent touched on the correctuse of silverware, what toorder at a business lunch ordinner and how to eat chal-lenging foods.

“I hope that we stressedthe importance of proper din-ing etiquette and how to con-duct oneself in the presence ofan employer, the things thatwe stress to the students inattendance,” said AssistantDirector of Career ServicesTina Vance Knight.

Career Counselor DougRicci said the event wasintended to be a supplementfor students to learn how toproperly conduct themselveson a job interview.

School of Arts andSciences senior DewanRummana said she learnedhow to use utensils, what kindof clothes to wear and howto behave formally on an interview.

“I learned a lot [of things]that I wouldn’t even hadthought about, like how tointroduce myself and properattire,” Rutgers College seniorRebecca Maymon said. “It wasvery educational.”

The Cereal Bowl recentlyopened on George Street with asnap, crackle and pop — and it’sthe only place in the city wherethe employees wear their paja-mas to work.

Located under Rockoff Hall,the shop held their grand openingSaturday and offers 26 differenttypes of cereals, mostly brandsfrom Kellogg’s and General Mills.

“I kept going by [before itopened], trying to figure out whatexactly it was, because you canmake cereal in your room,” saidShante Crawford, a School of Artsand Science junior who lives inRockoff Hall.

But after hearing someone in anelevator talk about what they had atthe Cereal Bowl, Crawford saidshe decided to go in and get something.

“I think it’s great,” she said.“Don’t knock anything before youtry it. It’s a good variety, there’s a lotto choose from. It’s not just cereal.”

The store also features signa-ture bowls called “Favorites,” suchas the “Give Me S’more,” whichconsists of Golden Grahams cere-al, Cocoa Puffs cereal, marshmal-lows, chocolate chips and home-made graham bites.

Customers can choose frommore than 30 toppings to mix intocereal, oatmeal, parfaits, frozenyogurt or sorbet. The selection oftoppings range from fruits andnuts to chocolate chips, sprin-kles, syrups and candy.

“Cereal to me is a quick, fastfood you can eat all day long,” saidshift leader Heather Canha.

WALKERS TO SUPPORT AMYFOUNDATION

The Amy Foundation will beholding the “Walk for Diane”tomorrow in Buccleuch Park toraise money for a good causewhile honoring the memory ofSouth Brunswick residentDiane Goodwin.

The five-mile “Walk forDiane” will begin and end at thepark’s entrance, directly acrossfrom St. Peter’s UniversityHospital on Easton Avenue.Registration begins at 8 a.m.and the walk will start at 9 a.m.

Goodwin lost her 16-yearbattle with breast cancer inAugust, according to a pressrelease from the foundation.The foundation began planningthe “Walk for Diane” immedi-ately following her death,Foundation President ArieBehan said.

“Early [breast cancer]detection saves lives,” Behansaid. “Insurance companies andthe health care system treat thepatient … they cater to thepatient who already has the dis-ease, but if they find it earlierit’s easier to treat.”

He said the foundationworks year round to raisemoney for uninsured womenover the age of 40 to get mam-mograms.

“We are partnered with St.Peter’s Hospital,” Behan said.“Any woman over 40 who hasno insurance can call them, andonce they verify that she has noinsurance, they call us.”

He is expecting about 120participants to show up. Theregistration fee is $35, accord-ing to the press release.

“The best thing you can doto help is to bring a friend andcome walk for a great cause,”said Jeff Leebaw, a spokesmanfrom Johnson & Johnson.

matching flannel pajama pants andbaseball T-shirts as their uniform.

“We want a very friendly atmos-phere, and how friendlier can weget that we’re in our pajamas serv-ing you?” Human RelationsManager Kristen Vogel said. “It’slike breakfast in bed.”

School of Arts and Sciencesjunior Mohsin Bolwala said he waseating at neighboring DouglassPizza when he decided to stop by.

“I knew it was going to open,and I’m a fan of cereal,” Bolwalasaid. “They had a lot of variety, itwas really good. I got a combinationof all my favorite cereals actually.”

Any combination of four cerealsor toppings costs $4.29 for a regu-lar-sized bowl, or $3.29 for a smallsize, plus tax.

Vogel said getting a bowl ofcereal here is actually cheaperthan buying a box at a store, con-sidering that customers can mixseveral different kinds with top-pings, and it won’t go stale.

A popular choice for oatmeal is“Strawberry CheesecakeOatmeal,” which has cheesecakeicing, strawberries and grahambites, Vogel said. Another favoritetopping for oatmeal is apple pie filling.

Other menu items includeRice Krispie treats, cof fee and smoothies.

The Cereal Bowl’s smoothiesare called “Oaties,” because theyhave oats mixed into them foradded nutrition. They come in fla-vors such as the “Banana BerryBomb,” “Berry Good For You”and “Mango Madness,” and cost$4.69 plus tax.

The Cereal Bowl’s line of cof-fees is called “Semi-SeriousCoffee,” which includes flavors

such as “Raspberry White Mocha,”made from espresso, milk, whitechocolate syrup and raspberry top-ping. Coffees range in price from$1.55 to $3.69, plus tax.

Customers can also createand take home a box combiningany four cereals or dry top-pings, Vogel said. In addition,the store sells “Plush Puffs,”which are soy-based, flavoredmarshmallows and Ugly Mugcoffee, a Fair Trade brand, bythe pound.

The Cereal Bowl can create13 by 9 inch birthday cakes aswell, made from Rice Krispietreats and icing.

In an effort to be environ-mentally friendly, the shop usesbowls made from bagasse, abyproduct of sugar cane, Vogelsaid. The ink on the bowls is soyink, which will degrade withinless than a week if left out in nor-mal weather conditions.

Customers have a choice

between 2 percent, skim or wholemilk with their cereal, Vogel said.Soy milk and Lactaid milk areavailable for a small extra charge.Organic milk will soon be offeredas well.

The vibrantly colored storehas wireless Internet access, flatscreen TVs and a “study cubby”— an area with bar stools anddesk space for students to doschoolwork.

Vogel said her parents, theowners, first saw a Cereal Bowlfranchise in Miami and decidedthey wanted to open one in New Brunswick to target college students.

“I think that the biggest char-acteristic of the Cereal Bowlthat no one else has to offer isthe fact that we have comfortfoods,” Vogel said. “Growing up,whenever you were upset, youprobably went home and had abowl of cereal.”

Marx. I have never experi-enced more irony than seeingparticipants of peace ralliescondemning the use ofAmerican military force yetsporting the image of a manwho is responsible for thedeath and disappearance ofmillions of people. These peo-ple should really be carrying

signs saying, “No more war … unless you’re a socio-pathic Marxist revolutionary.”

It was only 20 years ago that the Iron Curtainfell; only 20 years since the collapse of the greatestthreat to American peace, security and prosperity.But students today who were either too young toremember or were not alive to witness the fall of theBerlin Wall feel as if the demise of communism hadno direct influence on their lives.

The youth of today are primarily liberal andhave been spoiled by the toil and free marketsthat produced unfathomable wealth and prosperi-ty in the world, all while supporting policies that

counterbalance the real changeformer Presidents Dwight D.Eisenhower, John F. Kennedyand Reagan brought to theUnited States and the rest of theworld. They support taxincreases, fair trade and biggovernment. But I have a ques-tion for the liberal students atthe University. How many ofyou possess cell phones or com-puters? How many studentsenjoy the leisure of the Internet

or television? Soviet Russia crumbled 20 yearsago this week, but communist strangleholds onnations, media and economies still thrivethroughout the world.

Cuba first lifted its ban on cell phones last year,with cell phone contracts costing in the upwards of$120 a year, or six months worth of an averageCuban salary. Integrate the cost of the actual phoneand credits needed to make and receive phone callsand a Cuban could be looking at spending an entireyear’s worth of wages on one cell phone.

Chinese leaders censor Internet access and reli-gious worship, while Hugo Chavez of Venezuelacensors and intimidates media and political oppo-nents. If these instances of liberty were absent inthe United States students would be up in arms, butsince the Cold War has ended Americans no longerlook at these forces of evil as prevalent humanrights issues.

Students need to realize that while we prosperunder the light of liberty, free markets and hard

F ormer PresidentRonald Reaganuttered, “We believe

that freedom and security gotogether, that the advance ofhuman liberty can onlystrengthen the cause of worldpeace” moments before hefamously implored MikhailGorbachev to tear down theBerlin Wall. His request would be brought tofruition less than two years later, and this Mondaymarked the 20th anniversary of the fall of the walland the extinction of Soviet Russia.

Aside from the creation and destruction of amock Berlin Wall, organized by the YoungAmericans for Liberty at Rutgers, the University didlittle to mark this historic occasion, a day in historythat will be remembered by many as the symbolicend to a totalitarian restrictive state, and a momen-tous victory for liberty and prosperity.

While it is apparent that most students on cam-pus have little if any knowledge of the events ofNovember Nov. 9, 1989, it is stu-dents who should be most appre-ciative on this significant day inhistory. It was students who inSoviet Russia who were limitedand propagated by theCommunist government. It wasstudents whose views were sup-pressed and minds were brain-washed into believing that theirgovernment existed to servicetheir needs.

Meanwhile, the leadership ofthe brutal regime, physically and mentally torturedmillions, sending sending “traitors” or dissenters tothe Gulag, who would then decide whether or not tosend the prisoner to one of over 450 labor camps orkill them on the spot. In most cases those killed onthe spot were better off, then than those sent towork camps in the arctic and subarctic regions ofRussia. Many of them would disappear forever.

These ghastly policies existed for more than 70years, with some scholars estimating that the vic-tims of these communist policies could be in theupwards of 60 million lives lost. Imagine more than2,400 government related deaths a day, every day,for more than 70 years. While President BarackObama found it fitting to skip the 20th anniversaryceremony in Berlin last Monday, his puerile deci-sion should more notably be highlighted by the dis-connect Americans and, more importantly, theyouth of America feel toward the liberties that U.S.citizens posses.

Laurels and dartsA suspicious powder was found on Train 3221 of NJ Transit.

The train was immediately stopped and all 200 of the pas-sengers were quickly evacuated. After the stop, a team

dealing with hazardous materials searched the cars, only to findthat the substance was simply a spilled diet drink mix. The trainhad left New York City’s Penn Station at 5 a.m. and was headed forLong Branch. Due to the fact that this was an outbound train, therewere no rush-hour delays going into the city. While this particularinstance happened to be completely innocuous, the authoritiesacted quickly and cautiously without disturbing traffic going intothe metropolis. The New York City Police Department hasresponded to several suspicious envelopes containing powder atthe United Nations, but, just as in this case, they all turned out tobe harmless. Nevertheless, this ensures their dedication to keep-ing us safe no matter the situation. Due to the fact that almost nodelays were caused by this search and their immediate response, alaurel goes to the authorities for this instance of commitment toour safety.

Yesterday was the 10-year anniversary of the repeal of theGlass-Steagall Act. The repeal, which was signed into law by for-mer President Bill Clinton during his second term, disrupted thebarriers between commercial banking and investment banking.That led to the immense growth of large financial firms that weregiven the opportunities to take enormous risks with impunity, dueto the simple explanation “Too big to fail.” The result was and stillis catastrophic, as one examines the economic situation in whichAmerica stands today. Ten years and a $700 billion bailout standbetween us and that marred day. Senator Byron Dorgan, D – N.D.,stood up to the repeal of the Glass-Steagall Act in 1999, saying, “Ithink we will in 10 years’ time look back and say we should nothave done this.” His advice for repairing today’s flawed economy isto separate investment banks and FDIC-insured banks, prohibitFDIC-insured banks from dealing in risky financial business andeliminate “Too big to fail.” Who knew that aimlessly giving billionsof dollars does little in the way of helping these previously suc-cessful financial behemoths. For these faulty decisions 10 yearsago and today, Bill Clinton and the Democratic Party get a dart.

Now is the season for small donations and high-profile charities.While we all know that there are many people in the higher econom-ic niche of society who can throw around a couple millions of dollars,there are also many, more modest donors. These people donatemoney and gifts of only several dollars each, but collectively theymake a big difference. Organizations that promote such acts haverecently been in the news with sums for which they can be proud.Robin Hood, a charity supported by many celebrities, has been work-ing to attract people whose pay is closer to the middle class than to thesix-figure incomes of its founders. This way, instead of the occasionallarge donation, more individuals can raise funds via modest gifts. TheMarch of Dimes, an organization whose revenue in part comes fromgifts averaging $14 at Kmart stores, raised $6 million alone. Anothersuch charity is One Day’s Wages, which is exactly what it sounds like.The donations are simply a single person’s daily wage. Eugene Cho,the man responsible for this, has created a Facebook group called“Fight Global Poverty” and has pledged to donate one dollar for eachmember who joins, up to a total of $100,000. His organization recent-ly received tax-exempt status, proving there is a reward for those whodonate. These and other big organizations and small-time donorsreceive a laurel for their humanitarian actions.

Robberies in films are depicted as very planned out and stealthilyexecuted. The usual cinematic movies that show someone robbing abank or store involves carefully cutting a hole in a glass window andslipping through, or climbing through the air vents to get from point Ato point B in a building. One man from Topeka, Kan., decided to try hishand at robbery via the air vents and it backfired on him entirely.According to AOL News, the Topeka Police Department said a manwho was trying to rob a discount cigarette store got stuck in a vent andhad to be rescued by firefighters. Police said the man was stuck in aventilation pipe for about three hours early Thursday. He eventuallymanaged to call his daughter, who called 911. Firefighters found theman head down in a ventilation pipe and pulled him out. He was takento a Topeka hospital and will be charged after he is released. This manmust really be desperate for cigarettes if he needed to attempt crawl-ing through an air vent to get them. He should have realized that noteverything done in movies can be done in real life. It is because of thismisfortune and act of stupidity that this Topeka man gets a dart.

highlighted that students’ con-cerns are concentrated on thesame sets of issues, thus givingthem greater significance. Thistown hall meeting was an oppor-tunity for us as students to com-bine our thoughts and presentthem in a way that suggests theunity and cohesion among us.Certainly we are united in themost basic ways: we all pay ourtuition and pursue our degrees.We hope to have positive, con-structive experiences here inreturn for ourdecision toone day begraduates ofthe University.

But we arealso oddly sit-uated in atime in ourlives thatleaves us withan undeter-mined sense of our rights,given our importance to thesuccess of the University. Theworkforce is fortified by pro-tection acts and legislation toensure equitable relationshipsbetween employers andemployees. There are parallelsbetween workers and the com-panies they are employed byand students and the institu-tions they attend. But the dif-ference is the written law com-ponent. Labor laws allow work-ers to unionize and stage

protests, but what prevents astudent demonstration frombeing thwarted by authoritieswho refer to property codes astheir justification? Which lawscan students call upon to sothat our strength is not only innumbers and ideas but also instatutes? This is only an exam-ple. But the need for bothawareness of our rights as stu-dents and a written ordinancethat can be agreed upon by theadministration is essential to

how the stu-dent body is recognized.

I stress thata body likeRUSA, whichmonth aftermonth passesr e s o l u t i o n s ,f r e q u e n t l yrisks beingineffective, as

the administrators who areappealed to often do not feel com-pelled to accept our suggestions.This can only mean that the stu-dent body must be encouraged toconstantly act in a way that servesas a reminder of the presence wehave that is so essential. A strong,cohesive student body supportedby a document that reinforces ourprerogatives would absolutelytransform our effectiveness. Iasked the panel of administratorsat the town hall meeting whetherthere exists in one place a list of

what students are entitled tobased on the tuition we pay, statesubsidies, etc. They told me thereis none. As a School of Arts andSciences student, I am notallowed to reserve materials fromthe music library on Douglasscampus; but I am allowed to take aNew York Times from the loungeof my residence hall each morn-ing. I know these things only byaccident. They are not containedin any single place. I wonder howmany things we are restrictedfrom based on our school affilia-tion or major. What things existthat we do not take advantage ofsimply because we do not knowabout them? The panel of admin-istrators mentioned a tentativeplan that had been introduced tocreate a student bill of rights.Given the lack of clarity regardingour bounds, this would be anexcellent way for the student bodyto eventually cooperate withgreater consequence.

If you are interested in dis-cussing this topic further, I inviteyou to attend the RUSA PublicRelations Committee Meetingthis Thursday, Nov. 12 at 7:15p.m. in Room 438 of the RutgersStudent Center on the CollegeAvenue campus.

Letterwork, people all over the worldare denied the basic rights tolife, liberty and the pursuit ofhappiness. If we do notacknowledge the past and striveto make sure that similar atroci-ties never happen again, thenthe 100 million victims — andmore — of communism willhave died in vain.

The U.S. celebrates D-Day,Martin Luther King Jr. Day andthe establishment of the UnitedStates of America. These are alldays that signify hope, a newtomorrow and the chance tomend relationships and pursueprosperity. We should also com-memorate the end of the ColdWar, if not for the joy of seeingtyranny topple and freedomprevail then for the sheerreminder that “freedom isnever more than one genera-tion away from extinction,” asReagan said. “We didn’t pass itto our children in the blood-stream. It must be fought for,protected and handed on forthem to do the same, or oneday we will spend our sunsetyears telling our children andour children’s children what itwas once like in the UnitedStates, where men were free.”

Sanu finished with five catchesfor 105 yards, while also seeingcarries out of the Wildcat and con-verting a two-point conversion.

It was Jones’ second consecu-tive game with a takeaway — herecovered a fumble to end thegame against UConn — andmarked the 15th straight gamewith a takeaway for the Knights.

Sisters, teammates reunite in matchBY CHRIS MELCHIORRE

CORRESPONDENT

When Emmy Simpkins sawthat the Rutgers women’s soccer

t e a md r e wDuke inthe firstround oft h eN C A A

Tournament, she just about burstinto tears from shock.

Ever since Simpkins’ sisterCallie de-committed from Rutgersin favor of Duke — a school muchcloser to the Simpkins’ Concord,N.C., home — the two sistersweren’t sure they’d ever share thesame field again.

“My sister is my best friend,”said Simpkins, a redshirt fresh-man goalkeeper for the ScarletKnights. “And this year, whenthat thing popped up on thescreen saying that we were play-ing Duke, it was amazing. Itbrought tears to my eyes becauseit’s a guarantee that we’ll playeach other again.”

It’s been 11 years since thelast time RU (13-3-4) and Dukemet, but the two teams have tiesthat should make for an interest-ing match this afternoon atEugene E. Stone III Stadium onthe campus of South Carolina.

Flashback to the early years ofthis decade when future Knightsstars Jen Anzivino, Gina DeMaioand Erin Guthrie were tearing upthe country on their club teamthe PDA Wildcats.

“That was probably one ofthe best youth girl’s teams ever

to play youth girl’s soccer —they were fantastic, they wereunbelievable,” said Rutgersassociate head coach MikeO’Neill, who also served as headcoach of the Wildcats during theteam’s incredible run between2003 and 2006.

During that time, the Wildcatswon the United States YouthSoccer Association nationalchampionship in 2003, advancedto the national finals in ’05 and ’06and the semi finals in ’04.

It was a crucial time in thedevelopment of the three RU sen-iors and it was one they sharedwith Sara Murphy and ElisabethRedman — two members of theBlue Devils.

An injury sidelined Murphy allseason, but Redman is a teamcaptain that leads Duke with 12assists and is second on the teamwith 18 points.

“She’s dangerous,” O’Neillsaid. “I think if you mark a play-er’s career, you mark it by whereyou are in big moments and she’salways in the front of the line. Soshe’s a big player in big games.”

RU head coach Glenn Crookssaid he’s aware of Redman and hasspent this week trying to reacquainthis team with their former friend.

“The homework started rightaway, as soon as we found out,” hesaid. “They play a system very sim-ilar to ours; they really like to buildtheir attack. And they have greatforwards. Two in particular,Elisabeth Redman and KayGummersall, are both very danger-ous attacking players. So our abilityto defend those two in particularwill really be vital to what we do.”

Backup goalkeeper Emmy Simpkins faces off against her sister, Callie,as the Knights take on Duke in the first round of the NCAA Tourney.

Duke is a team marred byinconsistency this year. TheBlue Devils finished with an 8-8-4 record. They’ve lost tounranked UNC Greensboro,Central Florida and Virginia.But they beat No. 13 VirginiaTech 4-1 and tied No. 5 FloridaState 0-0.

“That level of inconsistency,unless you’re there with the pro-

gram, you don’t always knowwhy that is,” said Crooks, who isclose with Duke head coachRobbie Church. “It could be anexam period, players could havebeen banged up, there couldhave been some freak goalsscored. So we’ll try to look atboth sides. But they have a goodcoach and a great program so itshould be a fun match.”

basketball team opens its seasontomorrow with an afternoon mati-nee against Marist at the LouisBrown Athletic Center.

“I’m expecting a Rutgersteam to come out on fire nomatter who is on the court,”said senior center HamadyN’Diaye. “There is just theexcitement of knowing what wecan do because we believe thatwe can be so much better thanwe were the past three years.To me it might be my senioryear, but it’s like my freshmanyear because I really feel likethis is the start of something.”

This marks the second con-secutive season the ScarletKnights open with the Red Foxesat home. RU came away with aclosely contested 63-61 victorylast time.

Marist finished last season10-23 and lost its top two scorersfrom that team. Sophomore R.J.Hall is the top returning scorerat 6.9 points per game. Similar tothe Knights, the Red Foxes havea young lineup that features onesenior and seven freshmen.

Rutgers head coach FredHill Jr. said he is aware of theproblems a team like Maristcan cause in an early season

game. They almost got him last year.

“They are very difficult toguard and where we are rightnow that’s a concern of mine,”Hill said. “We have to really focuson stopping penetration and con-testing shots. The big thing I’mconcerned about is reboundingthe basketball. It can be toughwith quick guys because theyhave the ability to go around you.It’s a different look for our bigguys, who usually play againstbig guys like them.”

But he fully expects his teamto be prepared.

“Playing quick teams with thatdynamic can be difficult, but Iexpect us to be much more effi-cient offensively,” the fourth-yearhead coach said. “If we can fix ourdefenses up — play a little zone, alittle man — and rebound the bas-ketball and get out and run, we’llsee what happens.”

RU added six new faces to themix this summer, and Hill hasinstituted a more up-tempooffense to suit the athleticism ofhis players.

Even with the fresh faces inplace, the Knights will still rely onsophomore guard Mike Rosariofor most of their scoring.

The Jersey City native rankedfifth nationally among freshmanin scoring last season at 16.2points per game.

“I think we just need Mike tobe more efficient and consistentin his play,” Hill said. “His deci-sion making has been better, hisshot selection has been betterand he’s made teammatesaround him better. … It’s toughto make an adjustment when weare playing a whole dif ferent

t h a tS i m o n

Gordonov has not been dealtthe greatest hand of cards this fall.

The senior thought he wouldrejoin the Rutgers men’s crosscountry team last week at the BigEast Championship but wasinstead forced to watch from thesidelines as the team finished12th overall.

“We’ve been through a lottogether — the pain, the sweat,workouts, the rain and God knowswhat — so it is tough not beingable to race with them,” he said.

But there is a ray of sunshinefor Gordonov, as he is one of 14other finalists in the running for theprestigious Rhodes Scholarship.

Thirty-two people across thecountry are chosen each year forthe scholarship, which providesstudents with the opportunity tostudy anything they choose forthree years at Oxford University.

“It’s the Heisman of aca-demics,” said head coach MikeMulqueen. “It’s really quitethe accomplishment.”

This is not the only distin-guished scholarship Gordonovhas, as he was awarded the BarryM. Goldwater Scholarship thispast spring.

Yet this scholarship takes onan interesting light in his eyes, asthe senior sees it as somethingthat can benefit more than justthose who receive it.

“I think it’s a great way for stu-dents to be able to contributesomething from our country butalso learn as much as they canfrom the United Kingdom, sowhen they come back here theycan share their experiences withother people,” he said.

If chosen as a Rhodes Scholar,Gordonov plans to continuedown the road he is on now andtry for his masters of science inbiomedical engineering.

But for right now, he remainsfocused on physical therapy andgetting back to running as soonas he can.

As for the rest of the ScarletKnights, they return to action thisweekend in Princess Anne, Md.,at the NCAA East Regionals.

The race is larger than the BigEast Championships in terms ofsize with double the amount ofteams participating, but not interms of competition, which issomething that Mulqueen stressed.

“I think the Big East quality isvery good and the Regionalsquality is very good, so the maindifference is how many teamswill be in it,” he said.

Gordonov credits theresilience and psychologicalstrength of the Knights in help-ing them get past it.

“We’ve had some days wherewe weren’t working out as well aswe wanted, but in distance run-ning it’s really important to putthe bad behind you becausethere are good days and baddays,” he said.

The No. 25 Scarlet Knightsare hitting the ground runningSunday when they face one oftheir toughest opponents of theyear in No. 2 Stanford.

“It challenges us as a team toplay the kind of schedule that theScarlet Knights have alwaysplayed and that is one that does-n’t back down or hide from greatcompetition,” said Rutgers headcoach C. Vivian Stringer. “Itstarts right at the beginning withNo. 2 Stanford.”

The Knights traveled west toface Stanford last season andwalked straight into the lion’sden. The Cardinal put up astrong showing as RU fell flat,losing 81-47. The 34-point lossmargin was the largest for theKnights all season.

They haven’t forgotten. “It’s all about Stanford right

The Knights have also beenfighting the injury bug through-out preseason. N’Diaye hyper-extended his knee in a scrim-mage against Iona and Rosariomissed both the Iona scrimmageand a second one against Sienawith what Hill called sore ankles.

Rosario practiced all week andis ready to play Saturday whileN’Diaye is still day-to-day, Hill said.

As a result, Hill has not decid-ed on a set starting five yet andsaid he doesn’t expect to make adecision until today.

Juniors James Beatty andMike Coburn have been bat-tling for the star ting job atpoint guard since the begin-ning of preseason.

“There are still a couple spotsup for grabs, which is a goodthing because it means guyshave played really well,” Hillsaid. “Nobody is winning any-thing by default.”

throughout the schedule but Ithink I can say this for all of us,the only thing on our minds isStanford. We’re taking it onegame at a time — they beat uslast year and no one has forgottenthat, so it’s time to get them backand get revenge this year.”

One of the biggest story-lines of the afternoon willunfold in the front-cour tbetween the pair of senior cen-ters for the two squads —

Rashidat Junaid for Rutgersand Jayne Appel for Stanford.

Junaid will face the toughesttask of the weekend for theKnights — trying to stop Appel inthe paint.

Last year, Appel ripped theKnights apart inside, posting adouble-double, scoring 19 pointsand grabbing 14 rebounds.

Coming off a season in whichshe was named a second-team AllAmerican and Pac-10 Player of

the Year, Appel remains thelargest threat on the court for theCardinal, one the Knights mustcontain to stay in the game.

To Junaid, the openeragainst the Pac-10 powerhousewill serve a good barometer forthe Knights.

“Stanford is a great team. Iam excited because it gives usthe opportunity to see wherewe are at. Coach Stringeralways says, ‘It’s not about howwe start, it is about how we fin-ish,’” Junaid said. “I like itwhen we play top teams in thebeginning because it gives us achance to see where we are at.At the end, we will see howmuch we have progressed. Ithink playing Stanford willserve as a measuring stick ofwhere we can be.”

KNIGHT NOTES:The Scarlet Knights will

honor Stringer prior to tip-off ofSunday’s game.

The head coach, entering her15th season at RU and 39th over-all, was enshrined in theNaismith Memorial BasketballHall of Fame earlier this year.

Stringer has amassed 825wins in her career, with 305 ofthem coming at Rutgers.

New Jersey high school stand-out Daisha Simmons signed a let-ter of intent yesterday to play forthe Knights starting next season.

The 5’9” guard was rated asthe 11th best shooting guard and72nd best player overall in herclass by ESPN’s Hoopgurlz.Simmons averaged 26.2 points,8.6 rebounds, six assists and fivesteals last season at St. Bernard’sSchool in Jersey City.

With two freshman quarter-backs facing off under the Thursday

n i g h tlights, onep l a y e dlike it washis first

year under center.It wasn’t Tom Savage.Savage, the Rutgers football

team’s true freshman quarterback,stood tall all night in the pocketdespite a tough South Florida passrush, and led the Scarlet Knights toBowl eligibility for the fifth straightyear last night by beating No. 23USF 31-0 at Rutgers Stadium.

“I think he performed well,”said head coach Greg Schiano. “Ithink he managed the game well.He got hit a few times but he’s atough kid. I think his demeanor issomething that is critical. He keepseverybody around him calm.”

Savage threw for 194 yards witha 50 percent clip and a pair oftouchdowns to receivers MohamedSanu and Tim Brown while theBulls’ redshirt freshman quarter-back, B.J. Daniels, cracked underthe pressure.

Daniels, known as a lightning-fast scrambler and a solid passer,barely had time to breathethroughout the game as the relent-less RU defense harassed him allnight. Daniels threw for only 129yards, completing seven of 17 pass-es. He did nothing on the groundeither, with true freshman line-backer Steve Beauharnais spyinghim, finishing with a season-low 11rushing yards on 16 attempts.

“I think [our defense] justbelieves in what we put in front ofthem and we executed it,” Schianosaid. “They really executed it verywell from what it appeared. I wasreally proud of their effort.”

The lowlight of Daniels’ nightcame at the end of the third quar-ter when the Bulls went for it on4th and 2 to try and stay in thegame trailing 21-0. Instead of goingforward, however, Daniels got hitfive yards in the backfield, but hedidn’t go down. Instead, RU line-backer Antonio Lowery andDaniels fought backward for nearly30 yards before Lowery finallythrew him down.

Last night’s victory marked amilestone for Rutgers head coachGreg Schiano.

After coaching his 100th gamefor the Rutgers football team earlierin the season, Schiano now has a.500 record for the first time sincethe second game of his tenure.

“This wasn’t your normaltakeover job,” Schiano said.

“People say ‘Oh it’s just like whenyou took over at Rutgers,’ but theydon’t quite understand whereRutgers was. So the first threeyears I don’t count. I go from yearfour on, and we’re getting better.”

IT IS CLEAR WHAT GAMESMohamed Sanu likes to play: atRutgers Stadium, against the BigEast, on national television.

Rutgers defenders Steve Beauharnais, left, and George Johnson, right, combined to pressure South Florida quarterback B.J.Daniels in the second quarter of the Scarlet Knights’ 31-0 victory over No. 23 South Florida last night at Rutgers Stadium.
