Talk of repairs to a sewagepump in Buccleuch Park domi-nated last night’s NewBrunswick City Council meeting.
Mechanical elements of thepump, which have been a pointof discussion among those in thecity for several weeks, are inneed of repair and pose a threatto the city’s water supply, saidCity Administrator ThomasLoughlin at an Oct. 6 meeting.More than 30 minutes of thehour-long meeting were devotedto the topic.
But Huntington Street resi-dent Bruce Newling is not satis-fied that the council is taking theproper course of action regard-ing the matter, a sentiment heexpressed last night.
“I’m not seeking to filibuster.I’m seeking to inform,” Newlingsaid. “And I think that in light ofthe fact that the FBI raided theelection of fices on Tuesday
morning … it would be prudentfor the council to be as well-informed as possible.”
Newling said common sensewould lead any reasonable personto question the council’s move.
“I’m a professional geogra-pher. I have a Ph.D. … [But]anybody in this room … who hasany familiarity with the law ofgravity and the way water flowswould see that it’s impossible forsewage to get into the water sup-ply,” he said.
Newling accused the councilof using a “scare tactic” as ameans of convincing the peopleof New Brunswick that its man-ner of executing the repairs isnecessary and said he believesonly a “tsunami” of sewagewould threaten the city.
“The city of New Brunswickis either willfully misrepresent-ing facts in the presentation ofits application to the GreenAcres program, or it has not

With many New Jersey residentsseeking a cure for the ill condition ofthe state’s budget, some say reform-ing the current liquor license sys-tem is a good place to start.
On the 101.5 FM radio program“Ask the Governor,” Gov. ChrisChristie said he is in discussionsregarding reform for liquor licenseregulations, responding to a callerwho said the “archaic” system isholding chain restaurants frominvesting in the state.
“It’s certainly something thatI’m willing to consider as welook for ways to expand oureconomy in the state,” he said.“We need to do it in a fair way sothat we don’t diminish theinvestment others have alreadymade in the liquor licenses.”
Kevin Roberts, a spokesman forChristie, said the governor has yetto put anything forth.
“The governor expressed totake a look at it, and that’s wherewe stand,” Roberts said.
Although the governor has yetto draft legislation, Sen. Jim
Beach, D-Camden, was quick tocreate a five-bill legislative pack-age to reform the state’s liquorlicense regulations, which he saidis long overdue.
“We haven’t looked at ourliquor laws in New Jersey in 50years,” he said. “So maybe it istime to take a look at them and seeif we can update them.”
Of the five bills the packagecontains, two allow for supermar-kets to sell religious wines and forliquor licenses to be sold across
State considers liquor license reform
Gov. Chris Christie said he would look into reforming New Jersey’s liquor license laws, which have notbeen examined for almost 50 years. Christie said reform could possibly expand the state’s economy.

NEIL P. KYPERSEDITOR-IN-CHIEF
Undocumented students maynot have access to the in-statetuition rates, but now they will findsupport for their cause throughthe University administration’spolitical clout.
In a meeting with UniversityPresident Richard L. McCormickand other administrators Tuesdayin Winants Hall on the CollegeAvenue campus, the LatinoStudent Council and supporterspresented research and madearguments to garner support fromthe University for theDevelopment, Relief andEducation for Alien Minors Act.
McCormick said he is drafting aletter to Sen.’s Frank Lautenberg, D-N.J., and Bob Menendez, D-N.J.,compelling them to support theDREAM Act.
“Rutgers is the first institution tobe put on a list for New Jersey as anational supporter of the DREAMAct,” Latino Student CouncilPolitical Chair Jorge Casalins said.
Casalins said while initially thedesire was to build support for theIn-State Tuition Act, the focuschanged to supporting the DREAMAct over the course of the meeting.
The In-State Tuition Act — ifpassed — would allow undocument-ed students who graduated high

Former mob memberencourages tolerance
BY JACK MURTHACONTRIBUTING WRITER
Salvatore Polisi robbedbanks, broke his enemies’ bonesand even dug a grave for awould-be corpse during his timeas a New York City mobster.
But a reformed Polisi spokeon Tuesday night to Universitystudents about bullying, suicideand social change at an eventsponsored by 17 Minutes, aUniversity suicide preventiongroup.
“We need to be more toler-ant and more empathetic,”Polisi said. “We can’t intrudeon others.”
Between talk of bullets andbig money, he said deepchange must occur inUniversity students’ minds toovercome intolerance.
“My history lends the factthat anybody can change,”Polisi said. “This is about mak-ing changes, standing up andbeing accountable.”
University students hold thekey to open new doors, and asmall group of students can setan example for many, he said.
“There may be a Rosa Parksin the audience tonight,” Polisisaid. “Someone that has theguts to stand up and say thatwe can’t torment people, andwe don’t have the right to dis-criminate or judge someonebecause of their skin color orsexual preference.”
The United States has along history of racism and dis-crimination, which began withthe persecution of NativeAmericans and never ended,he said. Italian criminal organi-zations in the 1960s and 1970skept this tradition.
As a Colombo crime familyassociate, Polisi followed a les-son learned during his child-hood that there are two typesof people — Italians and thosewho wish they were Italian.
When Polisi’s son invitedhis black friend to dinner in1982, the ex-mobster’s chainsof bigotry shattered.
“He was a black kid wholoved Italian food,” Polisi said.“He was a really nice kid. That’swhen I grew away from being a
prejudiced bigot.”Polisi told University students
to speak out against racist jokesand anti-gay remarks becausefirm stances can educate others.
“What’s terrorism about?It’s about hatred and discrimi-nation,” he said.
Technology breeds disasterfor victims of bullying, Polisisaid. Blackberries and socialnetworking sites are useful, butonce an insult is broadcasted tothe world, it cannot be erased.
“A gun can fire a bullet, whilea phone can hurt feelings,” hesaid. “This device is worse thana gun. We’ve seen the movie‘Mean Girls.’”
But when used properly,School of Arts and Sciences juniorWilliam Lopez said technology isa tool to help friends.
“We’re college students. Wecan’t be there for our friendsconstantly,” Lopez said. “But wecan send a friendly text. It’s thelittle things that count.”
University students mustalso look for signs of depressionin their peers, Polisi said.
“If you see somebody who isstruggling, look for signals,”he said. “Some people who aretormented just want to checkout of life.”
Lopez said Polisi’s past serveda greater purpose and that he is aliving inspiration for studentsheading down the wrong path.
“The students involved withthe Tyler Clementi incident arein a tight spot right now,”Lopez said. “But Polisi provedthey can come back from that.”
Polisi’s perspective is a valu-able commodity, said SahilChugh, a Rutgers BusinessSchool sophomore. It is impor-tant to hear about what Polisiwent through before he dedi-cated his life to his family.
Polisi is now a screenwriter,after years spent in the FederalWitness Protection Program. Hisfilm, “The Sinatra Club,” isscheduled for a January release.
“All of the guys I knew inthe mob died miserable deathsbecause they killed people,” hesaid. “I was left here to sharethese stories to cause changebecause I was involved with theultimate bullies — the mob.”

Professor analyzes election resultsBY ANKITA PANDA
STAFF WRITER
In response to the dramaticshift in political party of thisyear’s midterm elections,Professor Emeritus of politicalscience at the Eagleton Instituteof Politics Gerald Pomper deliv-ered a presentation Tuesdaymorning at the Rutgers Club onthe College Avenue campus.
Pomper, who specializes inanalyzing congressional elections,said he looked at exit polls, elec-tion results and the information hehad collected over the years in hisbook series, “The Election of …”
He also discussed Americanstudents’ lack of enthusiasm in vot-ing during non-presidential elec-tions, noting that the decrease inyoung voter turnout might havebeen a deciding factor in this year’scongressional election results.
“Only 11 percent of peopleunder 30 turned out to vote thiselection, as opposed to the 18percent in the 2008 [presidentialelection],” Pomper said.
University Professor Emeritusof political science GordonSchochet said he also saw more stu-dent activity in the 2008 presidentialelections than he did this year.
“The enthusiasm that I sawhere on campus and in otherpeople reported across thecountry worked very hard forObama,” Schochet said.
He said President BarackObama and his policy advisors areto blame for not informing theirstudent supporters about whatthey are up to these days, isolatingtheir biggest voter base.
“I think Obama was kind ofseen as a superhero … and the
superhero has become a veryimportant figure in the lives ofthe young people,” Schochet said.“And part of what has happenedis that the superhero turned intoa Barbie doll.”
University Professor Emeritusof economics Shanti Tangri saidstudents should be more encour-aged to engage in intellectualactivities like voting.
“There is a lot of activity going oncampus, which is very wonderful,”Tangri said. “But still, you take anystudent organization and I don’tthink they participate in these intel-lectual activities as much as theUniversity encourages.”
The outcome of this year’selection shows that Americansare ideologically conservative butliberal in spending, Pomper said.
“Most elections are retro-spective,” he said. “Voters voteon how good conditions are now… they do not vote on policy,but they vote on the past.”
People are currently not satisfiedwith Obama’s government, whichshows people vote depending onhow they feel at election time,Pomper said.
“The economy was crappy in2000 and voters were angry at thepeople in power,” he said. “Theeconomy’s crappy in 2010 and thevoters are still angry with the peoplein power [but] now the people incharge are Democrats.”
Americans are going to be in apolicy deadlock in the futurebecause Congress will not agreeon any decisions, Pomper said.
“The president is of one party,two-thirds of the Congress is ofanother … they don’t like eachother,” he said. “The Republicansare divided, the Senate is a mess
divided into a billion parts.”The future of American politics
will involve a lot of shift in politicalparties, he said.
Pomper’s presentation wasmet with positive response.
“He’s very analytical, verythorough. I’d like to see moreGerry Pompers on the television,”said Raymond Bodnar, presidentof the Retired Faculty Associationand a University alumnus.
Schochet agreed that Pomper’spresentation was well done butdisagreed with Pomper’s strictlytechnical approach toward the lasttwo elections.
“I think he tends too much tolook at the last two elections in alarger American context. I thinkthere was something unique aboutthe 2008 elections,” Schochet said.“He acknowledges, but I don’t thinksufficiently emphasizes the fact thatwe elected a black president.”
Tangri, who agreed withPomper, said he wishes Pomperdelved more into the nature ofthe American political system.
“I would have liked to have hadthe opportunity to discuss someissues further, including thenature of our system,” Tangri said.“He tends to be a very realisticguy and tends to be much morefocused on actual experience ofthe system. My interests tend tohold from policy to theory.”
Both Tangri and Schochetmirrored Bodnar’s high praiseof Pomper.
“I think Pomper is one of thegreatest teachers who was atRutgers. He’s one of the smartest,most intelligent, most insightful stu-dents of American politics that I’veever known,” Schochet said. “I think[his presentation] was terrific.”

school in the state to attend theUniversity at the in-state rate.
“We don’t — in any way —want to jeopardize Rutgers,” saidCasalins, a School of Arts andSciences sophomore. “It doesn’tseem we will be [passing the In-State Tuition Act] any time soonhere in New Jersey.”
The heart of the discussionfocused on students who went tohigh school in the state but donot have documentation and as aresult, do not qualify for in-statetuition rates, he said.
“New Jersey law currentlyrequires that they be chargedout-of-state tuition and there isnothing Rutgers can do singlehandedly about that,”McCormick said. “The statecould change the law but Idon’t regard that as likely inthe near future.”

exercised due diligence in thegathering of information,” he said.
The council must provideconcrete evidence that the pump must be repaired, he said.
“Unless you can demon-strate that there is … a clearand present danger, you haveabsolutely no business toauthorize the start of work,”Newling said.
After hearing Newling’sobjections, City CouncilPresident Elizabeth SheehanGarlatti continued to stress theneed for the repair.
“I appreciate the fact thatMr. Newling is concernedabout the entire process andhas given us more detail aboutthis project than we ever couldhope, need or want,” Garlattisaid. “But it doesn’t necessari-ly mean that we don’t need todo this.”
Like Newling, CharlesRenda, also a resident of NewBrunswick, said he would agreewith the council’s considera-tions only if convincing evi-dence were available.
“I’ve been very impressedwith the amount of knowledgewe’ve brought out,” Rendasaid. “But I still have yet tohear anyone say to me that ifwe don’t repair this, and asengineer, as a professional, ‘Icertify that the water system isin imminent danger of being polluted.’”
Garlatti likened the city’s situation to one a home-owner faces when a houseneeds repair.
“I’m not an engineer, and Idon’t play one on TV,” Garlattisaid. “But I own a house. Inthat house, there is a furnace,[which] was installed in thathouse in the 1930s. [When thefurnace] broke, emergencyrepair wasn’t an option. ...We’re kind of at this point withthe sewer station.”
Still, Renda said the two situa-tions are not comparable.
“Your furnace going out …was not going to freeze yourneighbors. It was not going toparalyze the city with coldthrough the winter heatingseason,” he said. “That wasyour property and your prop-erty only.”
Newling suggested the citymove the site of the facility toeither the property of theUniversity or that of the New Jersey Department of Transportation.
But Garlatti said it is unlikelythat would occur.
“Rutgers, as generous as it’sbeen to the city of NewBrunswick over the years, isn’tinclined to give us stuff and thestate Department ofTransportation hasn’t been veryreceptive to requests,” Garlattisaid. “They’re not free.”
Hamilton said the city isrequired to hold a public hear-ing prior to beginning work onthe project, and New Brunswickresidents will then have theopportunity to further voicetheir opinions.
“I certainly think it wouldbe inappropriate to go througha cross-examination at thistime, in advance of that hear-ing,” he said.

continued from frontDrew, Rider and Farleigh Dickinson uni-versities are joining Ramapo College in ban-ning Four Loko, as the Food and DrugAdministration issued warning letters yester-day to the makers of the drink and other alco-hol energy drinks.
The University also called on the federalgovernment to step in and ban alcohol-caf-feine drinks nationwide, according to an arti-cle on nj.com,
The plans are to either ban the drinks fromthe campuses or severely punish studentscaught with cans on school property, accord-ing to the article.
“It really is a toxic beverage,” RamapoPresident Peter Mercer said in the article.“I’ve had no significant opposition to the ban.”
The manufacturer of Four Loko — a combi-nation of alcohol and caffeine sold in colorful23.5-ounce cans — announced Tuesday it isremoving the caffeine from its drinks after pub-lic and legal pressure, according to the article.
“We are taking this step after trying —unsuccessfully — to navigate a difficult andpolitically charged regulatory environment atboth the state and federal levels,” PhusionProjects, the Chicago-based manufacturer,said in a statement.
The dangers of Four Loko began makingheadlines early this semester when studentsstarted showing up in emergency roomsnationwide drinking the beverage, accord-ing to the article.
Each $2.50 can contains the equivalentof several beers and multiple cups of coffee.
Several states, including Washingtonand Michigan, have already banned FourLoko, according to the ar ticle. Similar legislation has been introduced in New Jersey.

But the issue is larger thanthe state, Casalins said. TheDREAM Act will help undocu-mented students receive recog-nition as citizens and qualify forthe in-state tuition rate —through means like militaryservice — and the University isleading the way in advocacy.
A number of agreements weremade regarding what can be doneboth in Congress and theUniversity, one of which wasMcCormick’s letter to Menendezand Lautenberg.
Casalins said there would be apush by his organization to pro-vide personalized letters in sup-port of the DREAM Act in addi-tion to McCormick’s letter,instead of using a form letter.
Vice President for StudentAffairs Gregory S. Blimling wasalso instructed to develop sup-port services consistent with theneeds of undocumented studentsattending the University,McCormick said.
“They thought that therewere some students in the Latino
community that needed addition-al support and help goingthrough the University,”Blimling said. “The presidentcommitted to helping those stu-dents find the emotional — andother support — they need toremain at the University.”
Casalins said students whoare undocumented but attend-ing the University have hadcases of clinical depression,and it is necessary to identifyand meet the needs of this spe-cial population.
“Even if you are paying out-of-state tuition you are still a ScarletKnight, and as such you deservethe administration to identify andmeet your needs,” he said.
The Latino Student Councilwill be meeting with Blimlingafter Thanksgiving break todiscuss the implementation ofthe new student ser vices,Casalins said.
While support services arebeing developed, undocument-ed students who do not qualifyfor Federal or State financial
aid have access to financial support from the University,McCormick said, although it is limited.
“As Rutgers continues withits fundraising for [“OurRutgers, Our Future”], one ofthe key areas for fundraising is… need-based support,” he said.“Some of which will go to undoc-umented students.”
The Latino Student Councilhopes to inform potential undocu-mented students about the oppor-tunity available for need-basedscholarships, which can help alle-viate paying out-of-state rates,Casalins said.
Casalins will be introducing abill Thursday during the meetingof the Rutgers University StudentAssembly asking the body to sup-port the DREAM Act at the feder-al level.
“It’s a grand fight because itis national now,” he said. “Weare passionate and ardentbelievers that this is the rightthing to do and we are not goingto let up.”

Exhibit promotes world peace through BuddhismBY ANASTASIA MILLICKER
CONTRIBUTING WRITER
Images for the possibility ofhope and peace filled the BuschCampus Center Tuesday dur-ing the Nichiren BuddhistAssociation’s “Building aCulture of Peace for theChildren of the World” exhibit.
The exhibit covered a range oftopics such as environmental irre-sponsibility, nuclear negativity,poverty, greed and prejudice.
“This event was meant tobring awareness to theUniversity of what was goingon in the outside world andmake a move toward peacethrough the Buddhist princi-ples,” said Heidi Hsu, a mem-ber of the Nichiren BuddhistAssociation, which is dedicatedto creating self-empowerment.
The exhibit featuredimages of children with quotesrepresenting peace and iconicactivists like Ghandi, MartinLuther King Jr. andMuhammad Ali.
Through the Buddhist prin-ciples of self-respect, peoplehave to educate themselvesfirst and then educate others inorder to change society, saidHsu, a School of Ar ts andSciences senior.
“In order to create change weneed a revolution. Not a politicalone but an inner revolution sowe can change ourselves thenchange the rest of the world,”she said.
The key purpose of the eventwas to raise awareness, saidErica Restrepo, a member of theNicherin Buddhist Association.
“Once we understand theprinciples of self-respect, thenwe can accomplish respect forothers,” said Restrepo, a Schoolof Environmental andBiological sophomore. “We

don’t directly imply change onanyone. Rather, we expect oth-ers to follow from our example.”
Restrepo particularly likedthe idea of moving toward peaceand of “finding your inner child”to achieve peace.
“[Children’s] innocent mindscan understand peace. Theyhave not been exposed to thenegativity as we have. Theirminds are pure and not corrupt-ed,” she said. “We all need tofind our inner child in order tocomprehend peace and revertback to then.”
Achieving peace does nothave to take a long time and is
not limited to future generations— it is a possibility now,Restrepo said.
“Peace begins within eachand every one of us,” she said.“First we need to change ourways of thinking. We need tobreak free from ill and negativeattitudes and embrace the newpeaceful way of thinking.”
Rachel McGovern, a Schoolof Environmental and BiologicalSciences first-year student, saidsome of the information and sto-ries portrayed through theimages shocked her, particular-ly how many injustices of thepast are still prevalent today.
“Although we do not alwayssee the direct ef fects of ouractions, we should make anef fort to become more aware of our surroundings,”McGovern said.
While many seemed torespond well to the exhibit, afew students were frustratedthat it did not portray a widerrange of political ideologies,Hsu said.
“One girl was particularlyupset because the exhibit failed totalk about economic imperialism,but I had no control of what was inthe exhibit,” she said. “I didn’tdesign the exhibit. The Nichiren
Buddhist Association designed it.”Despite the weak turnout of 34
visitors, Hsu was not discouraged. “My original expectation was
200, then it dropped to 20 people,but we exceeded that,” she said.
Hsu said one reason for thesmall turnout could be the religiousaspect of the exhibit, to which somestudents might not have been ableto relate.
“Because we are such a smallorganization, we only could doso much,” she said. “We put adsin the newspaper and createdfliers, but with only two peopleworking on publicity, we did thebest we could.”

legislation is not trying to cre-ate more liquor licenses but isexpanding the ability to obtainmore, which he said is neces-sary for the economy.
“When a supermarketopens, it generates betweenroughly 200 and 600 jobs … andgenerates about $25 million ineconomic growth for the com-munity and the surroundingarea,” he said. “It will sparkeconomic growth and develop-ment and create much-neededjobs in the state.”
The ability to distribute liquor,beer and wine in a supermarketalso provides consumers with theconvenience of “one-stop shop-ping,” which Levesque said is anelement missing from many gro-cery stores in New Jersey.
“Currently, Acme has twoliquor licenses down in Cape MayCourt House. When you walk intothe store, you are able to shop formilk and eggs as well as beer andwine,” he said. “It is a natural ben-efit for the consumer.”
With revenue numbers steadi-ly decreasing with every passingquarter, Beach’s legislative pack-age is a necessary step in promot-ing economic development whileactually increasing the value ofexisting licenses, Levesque said.
“When you have more peoplewilling to purchase liquor licens-es, and especially in attractiveareas that don’t have licensesavailable, the individual that doesown a license has a very valuableasset,” he said. “Competition and
capitalism is what this countrywas built on.”
But Paul Santelle, presidentof the New Jersey Liquor StoreAlliance, said this is not the caseand allowing grocery chains likeWegmans to purchase liquorlicenses from small businesseswill actually decrease the valueof others.
“The problem is once theybought that license, the value ofeveryone elses actually goesdown,” said Santelle, part of thestate’s alcohol industry for more
than 30 years. “Now there is adif ferent type of competitionthat has come in, and if it is agrocery store, it isn’t on a levelplaying field.”
When referring to the factor ofconvenience, Santelle said theaddition of a liquor store at theend of a grocery store likeShopRite is actually great forbusiness. But he added thischanged when Wegmans enteredthe scene and wanted all of thisunder one roof.
“Wegmans comes to town andbuilds a store saying ‘one size fitsall.’ They say there is a problemwith the policies in the state,” hesaid. “They are taking things to awhole other level, and they wantto go back to where we were inthe 1960s.”
New Jersey set a two liquorlicense limitation in 1962 becausethe grocery chains were illegallyacquiring a great majority oflicenses and created a monopoly,Santelle said. This is consideredto be the “dark ages” of the alco-hol industry in New Jersey.
“There was collusion, price-fix-ing and manipulation of licensesthat were being hoarded by gro-cery chains. Certain entities hadup to 100 licenses,” he said. “[Thestate] found the grocery storeswent too far with their power. Inthe end, they had to clean it up.”
Santelle added that problemsdid not truly start for small busi-ness owners until Wegmansbegan building in New Jersey,saying in-state chains likeShopRite and A&P never pushedfor liquor license reform.
“They are all out-of-statechains that have national policieson how they want to do things,including the sale of alcohol,” hesaid. “They look at how healthythe New Jersey alcohol industryis in terms of broad sales, [and]they want a piece of the pie.”
New Jersey is ranked fifth inthe nation for alcohol sales and issuccessful in keeping DWI’s andunderage purchasing of alcohol at
a low rate, Santelle said. Thiswould all change because super-markets like Wegmans wouldincrease the accessibility of alco-hol to underage teenagers.
“Half of the employees thatwork in supermarkets areteenagers, and they are theones working the night shiftsand the weekends shifts,” hesaid. “It is basically openingPandora’s box, where you haveto be careful and look at theunintended consequences.”
With the Alcohol Industry ofNew Jersey — a coalition repre-senting alcohol retailers, whole-salers and small business owners— Santelle met with Beach to dis-cuss these concerns.
“Within minutes of sittingdown there, [Beach] realized hehad jumped into something hedidn’t know anything about andknew nothing about the alcoholindustry,” he said.
Although the legislation isstill in the works, Beach saidhe is focused on pushing thebill to allow the sale of reli-gious wine while he talks fur-ther with other alcohol-indus-tr y veterans like Santelle towork out the kinks.
“I’ve had the opportunity toinvestigate more. TheRestaurant Owner’s Associationis doing research for me, andthey are going to [tell] me whatthe impact would be byThanksgiving,” he said. “Until Iget their report, I told them Iwouldn’t do anything.”

or adjacent to city lines, whichBeach said is beneficial for thedwindling state economy.
“It all started when I wasspeaking with some mayors inthe 6th District and looked atwhat would help balance theirbudget with the severe cuts,”he said. “If a town would beable to sell a liquor license thatthey acquired, both townscould benefit.”
Liquor licenses can be soldfor anywhere from $400,000 to$1.5 million, with the mostrecent sale of liquor licenses inCherry Hill, N.J., Beach said,adding that this value is a cata-lyst to improve the economy.
Some small business ownersare critical of the bills, saying thelegislative package will only hurtrather than help. This is the lastthing the package is supposed todo, Beach said.
“You don’t want to takesome of these small mom andpops out of business. That isnot the intent of the legisla-tion,” he said. “[So] in certainconversations that I’ve had,you get to learn about the prosand cons.”

bald eagle — being cool.Still No. 2.
But Thanksgiving hasgiven the turkey a real pres-ence in American life, a traitthe bald eagle cannot boast.The bald eagle is a symboland only that. We never see
the guy. He is a fair-weather friend, showing up oncoins and presidential seals when he pleases. Howmany of his countrymen have met their maker onthe fender of a Ford F-150? I dare say fewer thanthe gallant turkey.
The turkey is a true American. Franklin notesthat “the Turkey is in Comparison a much morerespectable Bird [than the bald eagle], and with-al a true original Native of America.” The crassbald eagle does not hold a candle to the refinedgobbler. Turkey also had his start in the land ofthe free. I will admit, though, that the turkey’sname is misleading. According to NPR, the titleturkey can be traced to the Middle Eastern coun-try bearing the same name. Imports from theregion often wielded the title Turkish in Great
Britain, regardless of the exactcountry of origin. If anything, thisdemonstrates America’s reach in the world, naming domesticobjects after foreign things aboutwhich we claim to have some idea.
A common misconceptionabout the turkey is that she is notfierce. Erroneous. Like Franklin,the turkey wears many hats.According to Benji, the turkey is,
“though a little vain & silly, a Bird of Courage,and would not hesitate to attack a Grenadier ofthe British Guards who should presume toinvade his Farm Yard with a red Coat on.” Yes,the turkey flaunts her tail like a pair of bootyshorts. Yes, she shakes that moneymaker of agobble. But beneath her showy veneer theturkey is a valiant fighter, an ornithologicalembodiment of the American spirit. The turkey,not the bald eagle, is our national hero.
America needs a new face, and I nominate theturkey. She maintains our national carnivorousappetite, is unique to the Americas and fightslike nobody’s business. Ever brawl with aturkey? It is true that the cost would be high toimplement such a change. But how high a pricehave turkeys paid in making their sacrifices forthis country? If you disagree with me, you dis-agree with Ben Franklin.

I f there is anyone Itrust, it is BenjaminFranklin. He was a
man of all seasons, a found-ing father and an 18th-cen-tury badass. He wrote atreatise on chess, for Pete’ssake. Also, actor TomWilkinson makes him lookreally cool in the HBO series “John Adams.”
As the leaves turn yellow and fall into heaps inthe backyard, it’s time we reflect on a centuries-old American mistake. From coast to coast weregard the founding of our country — the signingof documents, the carousing with NativeAmericans, the bugle playing — with highesteem. It is our national history and, rightly, weare proud of it. But a grave blunder, or perhaps aclerical oversight, has tarred and feathered ournational image so subtly and pervasively that wehardly realize it is there.
The bald eagle should not be our national emblem.And now a word from my mentor: The bald
eagle “is a Bird of bad moral Character. He does notget his Living honestly” (hat tip: Library ofCongress). Franklin wrote thosewords in a letter to his daughterrelating his anger with some of theother legislators who wanted toappoint the bird as America’snational emblem. His shrewd analy-sis is telling. The bald eagle perch-es, waits for its opportunity andthen pounces from a privilegedhigh-vantage point. Unlike usdecent folk, he cares little for virtuebut pillages the animal kingdom with wantonaggression. He is not even really bald.
The bald eagle represents the mean and hairlessside of America. I cringe every time I see that terri-fying wingspan. And everybody knows that any self-respecting national symbol wants to be hugged, notfeared. That is why this time of year always gets bedown. Annum in, annum out, I am struck with thesame sad revelation come mid-November.
In a week we are going to eat en masse whatshould have been our national emblem: the turkey.
It is only fair that the annual turkey-cide per-petrated for our gastronomical enjoyment berepaid in kind. If for nothing else, the turkeyshould get the privileged honor of becoming theAmerican national emblem because we eat himso regularly. To appropriate a phrase, Americaruns on turkey. He feeds families. When is thelast time you picked up some bald eagle cold cutsat your local deli? In popularizing the eating ofthe turkey, Thanksgiving has delivered the jiltedfowl from national disrepute, but made his pur-pose — consumption — secondary to that of the

“In a week we aregoing to eat en masse
what should havebeen our national
emblem: the turkey.”
The Soapbox
JOE HERNANDEZ
T he British government blindly admitted fault this week when itdecided to pay about a dozen former terror-suspect detaineesat Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, tens of millions of pounds in com-
pensation for their suffering. This could not have been a riskier deci-sion — one that affects the United States’ role in Guantanamo as well.
The British are making this rushed move in order to avoid a law-suit that could reveal national secrets. This is not out of sympathy forthose tortured at the prison.
Among the former detainees is Binyam Mohamed, an Ethiopian-born British resident, who said he was tortured at Guantanamo Bay.The details, though, are shady. His explanation for being inAfghanistan was nothing more than to visit the world center for opiumproduction to get over a drug habit. The man stands to receive thelargest sum, and yet, there is no reason for his release and the follow-ing compensation.
Why not wait until the lawsuit exposes the truth behind the tacticsused inside Guantanamo Bay? The men were never cleared of the sus-picions and charges brought against them when the British govern-ment jailed them.
And while the media portrays the situation at Guantanamo as a con-stant torture behind the prison’s walls, there is no clear description ofthe situation. What constitutes capture?
It is an undoubtedly unpleasant situation for those guilty or not, butthere seems to be no way right now to discern the difference. And ifthese people were actually innocent, then there should be no reasonfor them to be paid sums of money so large that there could have beenno other way to earn that money other than be held in Guantanamo.Why pay all of the men millions of dollars only to shut them up priorto a case against government agencies?
The truth is that the British government is essentially admittingguilt both on their part and ours. The United States has neither com-pensated the victims, nor has it underscored its role in the prison. Ithas not admitted fault and rightly so.
It will do no good for Great Britain or the United States to pay offthese men to shut them up prior to their civil lawsuit. By allegedlyclearing the ground prior to any inquiry, the British government isadmitting fault before even being found guilty in violating humanrights of innocent detainees. The truth must come out in the lawsuit ifthere is a chance for fairness. Admitting fault before this is simply fool-ish, even if the men were innocent.
iTunes, Beatlescome together
British wronglyadmit fault in war
A pple’s iTunes franchise is now selling The Beatles’ albums.Finally, after years of lawsuits regarding the Apple trademarkand the rights of the songs, the decision was made to allow
Steve Jobs’ Apple to reap even more of a profit. Agreeing to this digi-tal contract was not easy. It took years of negotiations between Appleofficials and Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr and the widows of JohnLennon and George Harrison, along with their label, EMI. We are gladthis has finally come to an end, and even though true Beatles fanswould have already bought or downloaded their music outside ofiTunes, this is a step toward making the gang from Liverpool’s albumseven more accessible.
The deal means more profit for both sides. With more accessibilityto The Beatles’ music, the band — or whoever is left of it — will cer-tainly make more revenue out of the deal. This agreement though ismuch more valuable to Jobs’ Apple. For years, iTunes had one big holewhere The Beatles’ albums now stand. Too many people attempted tobuy their favorite band’s music only to find one of the most populargroups in the world’s albums missing. Adding McCartney, Lennon,Starr and Harrison’s genius fills this void, allowing for even the mostundedicated of fans to legally purchase their music. This imposes cul-ture and tradition on iTunes — one factor missing from Apple’s col-lection for years.
It is usually Apple that sets the bar for new technologies, and it isApple that turns fads into long-lasting pieces of history. IPods andiPhones have certainly created a movement, but without one majorpiece of music or culture, there was always something missing. TheiPod has dominated the market of MP3s since 2001, but without TheBeatles, there was a hole. This was the case until Tuesday.
The Beatles, after being chased by Apple for years, now grace theopening page of the iTunes website, and this will probably stay for awhile. It is for profit, but it is also about substantiation. We like to thinkthat Apple employees are at least somewhat overjoyed with the ado-lescent fulfillment in selling the music of a band from back in the day.We want to think that even Jobs had something more than a financialreason to push for this agreement.

take a stand against this moron-ic, archaic and altogether of fen-sive bill.
I have read this law — yes, allof it — and it is soft-coreapartheid. One line from the billallows law enforcement agents toarrest and detain any personthey deem reasonably suspiciousfor being an “alien.” This lawdoes not clarify what that reason-able suspicion is; this judgmentis left up to the man with the gun.Police and agents are not judges— they are supposed to followthe laws, not interpret them. Allthis bill allows for is the target-ing of dark-skinned people with-in Arizona.
Targeting people based onskin color is racist. Making peo-
ple feel less human and citizensfeel less like citizens because ofthe color of their skin is racist.What this bill does is exactly that,and it is racist. Another section of
the bill gives compensation toany lawsuits or penalties officialsincur when carrying out the law.This allows for incredibleamounts of abuse toward inno-cent people who “look” illegal
because the officers have noneed to worry about legal incur-sions. Lacking even the threat oflegal recourse, law enforcementwill be able to run wild inArizona, arresting anyone theypersonally deem as potentiallybeing here illegally.
These people already have theauthority from the state, and nowthey have immunity from the law.This bill allows officers to huntimmigrants down mercilessly.Any collateral damage, any civilliberties violations are practicallysanctioned by SB 1070.
This law also punishes thosewho help aliens. Anyone harbor-ing or shielding people from thislaw are breaking the law. How isthis part going to be enforced? By
raiding peoples’ homes lookingfor hidden people? Will policeneed warrants if they have rea-sonable cause to enter a privateresidence? Even leaving water inthe desert for migrants crossingis illegal. What SB 1070 does isworse than encouraging an atti-tude of apathy. The law calls foran active dehumanization of alarge portion of the population.An entire race of people is turnedinto caricatures of humans. AsAmerican citizens, we must fightagainst such blatant hatred in ourlegal system.

be found on the Paul RobesonFoundation’s website. As the foun-dation points out, Robeson is “apowerful symbol of uncompromis-ing, dignified Black manhood.”
Notwithstanding his superhu-man accomplishments, the recog-nition that Robeson deserved dur-ing his lifetime was essentiallyrobbed from him when his com-mitment to human rights left himfalsely accused of being anti-American or a Communist.
My family is quite familiarwith how freely the term “com-munist” was used to blacklistsupporters of human rights dur-ing the Cold War era. My grand-parents, Mary and J. Daniel
Weitzman, were investigated andaccused of being Communists bythe House Un-AmericanActivities Committee and theFBI because of their humanrights work, including the fact
that they started the first non-segregated movie theater inWashington, D.C. It was alsothrough their human rights workthat my grandparents met
Robeson and later opened theirhome to him so he would have aplace to stay when hotels refusedto serve him under the existingsystem of racial segregation.
To accuse a black man ofbeing unpatriotic during a timewhen he was not even allowed tostay in a hotel is shameful at best.As a University alumna, I amembarrassed by the recent criti-cism of having Robeson’s nameon the Rutgers-Camden librarybuilding. Honoring Robeson byincluding his name on the wallsand buildings of Rutgers-Camdenis the least we can do.
Robeson’s legacy is one ofunshakeable faith and love for
his country and, more impor-tantly, the human race. I cannotimagine a more honorableUniversity alumnus, nor can Iimagine a more heroic citizenof the United States. We allhave the power to honorRobeson by sharing his storywith our family and friends andby doing whatever we can tokeep his spirit alive. Let’s con-tinue to name buildings afterRobeson, and let’s not stopthere. Let’s do our par t toimprove our democracy as awhole in our everyday lives.

Senior heavyweight DJ Russo, top, remains undefeated on the yearafter successfully defending his title last weekend in Brockport, N.Y.
The Mountaineers (2-1) pres-ent a stout challenge and makefor tough back-to-back competi-tion with Penn State followingshortly after.
The Knights could not reboundfrom an earlier day loss inLewisburg, Pa., last November, tothen-No. 1 Iowa and fell later thatday to Bucknell.
Goodale and Co. learned theirlesson from that experience and willbe ready for Penn State, regardlessof the outcome against WVU.
“It’s our philosophy that we tookfrom that Bucknell match a yearago that if you want to be ‘that guy’then you have to be ready to wres-

tle back-to-back matches,” Goodalesaid. “If you are coming off a win,you have to be able to be ready togo for your next dual. If you arecoming off a loss, you have to beable to bounce back and focus onyour next dual. The guys that arethe best in the country and there atthe end are able to do that.”
Following a dominant perform-ance in the team’s first two duals ofthe season, the Knights believethey have what it takes to knock offWest Virginia and keep the energygoing to possibly upset a premierprogram and its iconic head coach.
“I would be shocked if we lostto West Virginia,” Russo said.“We’re not really looking pastWest Virginia, but Penn State isthe big matchup. I think we aretraining too well to fall to WestVirginia — and I think we aregoing to beat Penn State, too.”

Sophomore guard Erica Wheeler scored 16 points in both of theKnights’ losses last weekend against Cal and No. 3 Stanford.
“They’re a tough team,”Stringer said. “They execute verywell, they attack, they’ve got alegitimate post that’s bigger thanour post, and they dribble drive.When you have those elementsthere, that can be trouble.”
To get back on track, theKnights may also need toaddress the turnover issue, asthe team coughed the ball up 31times last weekend.
In the history of the pro-gram, the Knights never starteda season 0-3, and with a sched-ule loaded with dif ficult BigEast competition, wins won’tcome easily this season forStringer and Co.
For Rutgers and junior guardKhadijah Rushdan, getting winsin Piscataway are key.
“I think it’s very important,”Rushdan said. “It’s especiallyimportant to protect your homecourt because you know it’s veryhard to play on the road. You’vegot to deal with other people’sfans and being away and notknowing your own court.
“But we know these balls, andknow these rims and we have ourfans, so it’s very important to do

everything we can do to get asmany wins as possible.”
Rushdan, the most experi-enced player on the roster,scored just 15 points last week-end, while shooting only 6-for-20from the field.
While the Wilmington, Del.,native had her struggles offensive-ly, sophomore guard EricaWheeler rose to the occasion,averaging 16 points in both losses.
Her showing came as no sur-prise to junior forward Chelsey Leethough, Wheeler’s former team-mate at Parkway Academy (Fla.).
“To be completely honest, inpractice when we scrimmageda lot, her shots were off,” Leesaid. “We’ve got to hit outsideshots. When she was hittingshots in the game it wasn’t likea shock. I was happy that shewas hitting shots.”
Juniors April Sykes andNikki Speed scored 20 and 10points, respectively, last week-end for the Knights and willneed to improve for Stringer’sof fense to have any shot atscoring more points.
But more than anything else,tonight’s 7:30 tip off on a newly-renovated RAC floor comes downto pride.
“It feels great to have a newfloor that no one’s played on,”Lee said. “We can make it ourfloor and start a new tradition.”

Brandon Bing wanted tomake one thing clear when hespoke about Cincinnati.
For all the changes theBearcats underwent since lastyear’s Big East Championshipseason — losing quarterbackTony Pike and wideout MardyGilyard to the NFL and headcoach Brian Kelly to NotreDame — the Rutgers footballteam changed, too.
“They are a dif ferent team,but so are we,” the senior cor-nerback said.
The Scarlet Knights hope so,because their season began lastyear with a 47-15 rout at thehands of Cincinnati.Quarterback Zach Collarosthrew two passes for 34 yards,but Pike, now with the CarolinaPanthers, led the assault with362 yards and three scores.
The game marked Bing’s firststart, and he made one morebefore he was bounced from thestarting lineup. But the Wyncote,
Pa., native returned to the startinglineup this year and remainedthere for every game, making 51tackles and an interception.
It has been a consistent sea-son for the former track star,who struggled with that aspectof his game since joining theKnights as a walk-on who fewbelieved could play football.
“He just loves football andworked his way into it,” saidhead coach Greg Schiano.“Literally I wish we had him fortwo more years. He’s playedbehind some good guys — JasonMcCourty and Devin McCourty— so it was hard to break intothe lineup. As much practiceexperience as you get, there’s nosubstitute to playing in a game.”
He has much more of thatplaying time this year than thelast time he faced theBearcats, and although first-year head coach Butch Jones’Cincinnati is a dif ferent team,it still presents challenges tothe Rutgers secondary.
The trio of receivers ArmonBinns, D.J. Woods and Marcus
Barnett combine for 1,893 receiv-ing yards and 18 touchdowns.
“That’s a good threesomeright there,” Schiano said. “Itmay be as good a group ofthree as there is in our league.There are challenges. Theyhave a quarterback who canget the ball to them, so cover-age will be huge and applyingpressure to him.”
WHILE REDSHIR Tfreshman Michael Larrowfound himself with significantplaying time last week atdefensive tackle, classmateIsaac Holmes is makingimprovements to find himselfin a similar role.
“Right now, if he goes inthere, it’s because of necessity.It’s not because he’s ready, buthe will be,” Schiano said. “I thinkhe’s a lot closer now than he wasthree weeks ago. And again, hewas forced into action, so he’spracticing with the second unitand whenever you’re with thatlevel of competitors, your levelrises. But Isaac will be a goodplayer here.”
The Hoboken High Schoolproduct committed to Rutgers asthe No. 3 recruit in New Jersey,according to Rivals.com, but isplaying through pain this seasonwith an injury that could requireoffseason attention.
JUNIOR RUNNING BACKJoe Martinek could returnSaturday against Cincinnati aftermissing last weekend’s gamewith a lingering ankle injury.
“If you asked me yesterday,I’d say no. But today I think yeah[he could play], which is goingto be a shot in the arm for us,”Schiano said.
Cornerback Marcus Coopercould also return but in a limitedcapacity, as the coaching staffattempts to avoid fatigue withthe sophomore who injured hisleg in practice.
SCHIANO MOVED THEKnights’ practice into the bubbleas a precautionary measure, aftera Notre Dame team managerdied when a scissor lift fell due towindy conditions.
“The thing that got me wasnot the wind — I check theweather every morning and itwas like 21 mph,” Schiano said.“But there were gusts up to 48[mph] I think it said. It’s ashame it takes a tragedy like thatto make us all think more.”

Fifth-year senior punterTeddy Dellaganna’s health kept
him out ofa c t i o n
last week and prevented himfrom per forming his bestthrough most of the season ashe battles a quad injury.
Though Rutgers head coachGreg Schiano said Dellagannais on an upswing this weekhealth-wise, the ScarletKnights feel confident in Plan B— Kyle Sullivan.
Sullivan, a redshir t fresh-man, walked onto the Rutgersprogram from St. Mark’s HighSchool in Delaware as a place-kicker but saw his dutiesexpand into multiple roles onspecial teams this season,including backup punter.
“You try to be a jack of alltrades,” Sullivan said in the lock-er room after Rutgers fell, 13-10,to Syracuse. “The more things Ican do well, the more I can helpthe team.”
Against Syracuse, Sullivanstepped in for Dellaganna as thestarting punter and put up a solidstatistical performance. He punt-ed the ball six times for an aver-age of 39.3 yards and trapped theOrange within the 20-yard linefive times.
“It’s a cool feeling to be able toget into a game, not at theexpense of Teddy of course,”Sullivan said. “Coach Schianodoes a great job of creating adver-sity during practice so you defi-nitely feel like its practice whenyou’re coming into a game.”
If Dellaganna is not healthyenough to kick at NippertStadium on Saturday, where hehad his best career game twoyears ago with 10 punts for a 46.6average and a long of 61 yards,Sullivan is up for the secondstraight game.
“I thought Kyle stepped upand did a very good job,” Schianosaid. “He had a big punt laying itdown inside the 20. He did somegood things. For a guy who, quitefrankly, wasn’t even a punter inhigh school, to be able to come
here and do what he has done —he is an extremely good athlete.He can do a lot of things.”
Along with being the backuppunter to Dellaganna and placekicker to junior San San Te,Sullivan is the holder on field goalattempts, replacing a combina-tion of Andrew DePaola andDellaganna last season.
“I like holding,” Sullivan said.“I feel like as long as San San’sconfident in me back there, I’mdoing a good job. I mean, I’m akicker too, so I know what helikes. As long as he’s confident,then I’m doing my job.”
Sullivan played wide receiv-er in high school and had theopportunity to do so on a failedtrick play against Connecticutthis year.
On a fake field goal, Sullivanpitched the snap to former quar-terback D.C. Jefferson but gottangled up with a defender, and itthrew off the timing of a suretouchdown pass.
“It’s fun, especially with kick-ing all of the time, to go out for apass like receivers do,” Sullivansaid. “It’s fun to do that, it’s justtoo bad the timing of that onedidn’t work out.”
But Sullivan’s most importantmoment as a Knight came laterin the Connecticut game, hold-ing a game-winning field goalbooted by Te.
“I feel really comfor tablewith both Kyle and [long-snap-per Rob Jones],” Te said in thelocker room after his game-win-ning kick. “We’re around eachother in practice and thingsalways go smoothly. We’regood friends.”
Schiano often describes theimportance of a strong bondbetween specialists in the kick-ing game. Because their tasksin practice are so dif ferent fromthe rest of the team, it is impor-tant that they spend as muchtime together as possible todevelop a rhythm.
“We’re together a lot in prac-tice and we’re all really goodfriends off the field,” Sullivan said.“That really does help when itcomes to chemistry. We all knowwhat each other are thinking.”

Stringer nabsNo. 6 recruitfor 2011 class
BY ANTHONY HERNANDEZCORRESPONDENT
Another recruiting class and another highprofile recruit landed for the Rutgerswomen’s basketball team.
Briyona Canty, a 5-foot-9 guard, signed onto play for head coach C. Vivian Stringer yes-
terday, bolstering abackcourt currently
made up of two juniors and two sophomores. But the No. 6 overall recruit in the coun-
try, according to ESPN HoopGurlz, heads tothe Banks with modest expectations.
“I’m just going to work as hard as I can,”the Willingboro, N.J, native said. “I’m justexcited. It’s a great experience.”
The Trenton Catholic Academy productwas the highest ranked unsigned recruit yes-terday and now joins a guard-heavy class thatincludes Neptune, N.J., natives SyessenceDavis and Shakena Richardson.
While at Trenton Catholic, Canty took hometwo NJSIAA Non-Public B South titles, earning aFirst Team All-State spot after the 2010 season.
She also played for the U.S. NationalUnder-17 team and commits to Piscataway asthe top-ranked guard in the nation.
Canty received offers from top-tier programssuch as Kentucky, South Carolina, Penn Stateand Miami but in the end decided to stay closeto home and play in her home state.
All four recruits in Stringer’s 2010 recruit-ing class hail from New Jersey, and three ofthe four are ranked in the Top 100 by ESPNHoopGurlz — Canty, Davis and Richardson.
Though height may still be a problem forStringer’s team, the addition of Canty to com-plement the rest of the recruiting class maybe the missing piece for the Knights.
And even for the No. 6 recruit in thenation, there is still room to improve.
“I think it can improve a lot,” Canty said ofher skill set. “[Stringer] is a great coach and sheknows a lot, so I think I’m going to be a greatplayer for Rutgers.”

Knights gripfor intrastateshowdown
BY ANTHONY HERNANDEZCORRESPONDENT
History often repeats itself, evident in theRutgers women’s basketball team’s two losseslast weekend to California and No. 3 Stanford.
The weekendmarked the secondtime in three yearsthe Scarlet Knightsreturned winlessfrom a trip West, butnone of that matters
for tonight’s home opener against Princeton.With the Tigers coming to town, head
coach C. Vivian Stringer’s team will turn thepage and keep a winning home tradition in itsmind, one that includes dominance over theirin-state rivals.
“We have to get every game and any gameevery time that we can,” Stringer said. “We justwant to continue to keep our fans as a sixth play-er and treat this floor like it is your home floor.”
The Knights (0-2) own their intrastate foe,beating the Tigers (1-0) in 14 out of 15 con-tests all-time. Even more impressive is thedominance the team displayed at the LouisBrown Athletic Center, as the squad is a per-fect 9-0 against its Ivy League opponent.
But the Tigers ride up Route 1 aftercrushing Farleigh Dickinson, 78-37, in theirseason opener and seek long awaitedrevenge from Rutgers.
In that game, center Devona Allgoodpaced last year’s Ivy League Champion downlow, as she scored 20 points and recordedthree blocks in the victory.
With a height disadvantage –– apparent inthe Knights’ rebounding woes as they werebested by 25 on the boards thus far –– stop-ping second-chance opportunities againstthe Tigers could be the difference betweenwinning and losing.

Penn State head coach Cael Sanderson, middle, capped off his wrestling career witha gold medal at the 2004 Olympics after going 159-0 in four years at Iowa State.

When you talk about one of the No. 24Rutgers wrestling team’s opponents this week-
end at the Sprawl &Brawl Duals — No. 6Penn State — the dis-cussion begins andends with head coachCael Sanderson.
The former IowaState Cyclone, who
went 159-0 in his college career with fournational championships, enters his secondseason with the Nittany Lions and has pulledin many of the country’s top recruits.
“He’s the biggest name in our sport,” saidScarlet Knights head coach Scott Goodale.“Guys just want to go wrestle for him. Sothey are getting the best kids in the country.There’s so much interest there not just inPennsylvania, New Jersey and Ohio, butaround the whole country.”
To say that Sanderson’s arrival jump-star ted the Penn State program is stillan understatement.
The entire Nittany Lion starting lineupthat took down EIWA powerhouse Lehighthis past weekend contained four sopho-mores, three redshirt freshmen and twotrue freshmen — meaning none of themcame to Happy Valley until Sandersonsigned on.
“He’s been there now for two years, andthe kids that he’s recruited are young, but

they are good,” Goodale said. “They are fun towatch. It’s a whole other level of wrestling.”
The Knights will certainly be tested,but that is not to say that Rutgers will notchallenge the Nittany Lions.
Many of Penn State’s ranked wrestlerswill go head-to-head with those Knights inthe national rankings, including a heavy-weight showdown between No. 9Cameron Wade and No. 6 DJ Russo.
“Without a doubt they are one of the bestteams in the country,” said the senior Russo.“They are pretty young, but they have a lot oftalent. Most of our talent is matched upagainst their big talent.”
To spice up the Sunday matinee evenmore, add in the fact that Penn State tookdown Rutgers by an 18-17 score at last year’sSprawl & Brawl in Binghamton, N.Y.
The one-point loss is hardly leavingGoodale’s memory anytime soon, and heknows his squad will be amped for the shotat redemption.
“Last year we were a point away at 18-17.Believe me, we are on their minds and obvi-ously they are on our minds,” Goodale said.“It’s an opportunity for us. It’s still early. It’sstill November. But heck, this is a dual meetwe want to win.”
But before Rutgers (2-0) can bank toomuch energy on Penn State (2-0), the Knightsmust concentrate on their first matchupSunday against a more than potent WestVirginia squad.
