Starting in Steve Jobs’ garage 35 yearsago, two young entrepreneurs created acompany that has widely come to repre-sent innovation and technology.
Steve “Woz” Wozniak spoke to youngentrepreneurs and professors about his rolein the formation of Apple and offered adviceto budding enterprisers yesterday duringthe third annual “Entrepreneurship Day.”
“When we started Apple, we were veryyoung in our 20s. We had no money. Wehad no savings accounts,” Wozniak saidin the College Avenue Gym. “We had nobusiness experience. We did not take anycourse in business or finance. It’s almostas though finance was not a part of life …we just had some inspiration.”
Apple’s founding branches back toWozniak’s childhood, when he beganinventing a telephone-like device withchildhood friends.
Wozniak and his friends used runningwires connected and stapled along neigh-borhood fences to create microphonesand speakers in receiving houses — wiredwalkie-talkies.
“I started learning about atoms andthe parts of atoms, then electrons, thentaking those processes and switches oflights and buzzers, which in turn makebuzzers ring … and wires go around thecircuit to make things happen,” he said.“[I] got together with friends and [we]made it our personal project.”

Business consulting group places in national competitionBY KIERSTEN ZINNIKAS
CONTRIBUTING WRITER
The Rutgers ManagementConsulting Association placedthird last weekend during the2011 Consulting Conference and Case Competition, its firstnational competition, held atthe Whar ton School of the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia.
The Wharton School of theUniversity of Pennsylvaniareached out to the recentlyfounded team to participate inthe conference this semester,said Edoardo Conti, RMCAdirector of corporate relations.
“Since we’re a new organiza-tion, it puts us on the map a lit-tle bit,” said Conti, a School ofArts and Sciences senior.
RMCA competed againsteight teams from theUniversity of Pennsylvania, theUniversity of Toronto, HarvardUniversity, Yale University and
New York University SternSchool of Business, said KaranChadha, RMCA co-head ofStrategic Development.
The competitors were presented with a financial ser vices case, which required research into thebanking industr y, regulator yacts and what aspects of banks are failing, said Mihir Kunal, RMCA vice president.
Each team received the case the Sunday before thecompetition and had until theThursday of that same week toresearch and prepare aPowerPoint presentation, saidChadha, a School of Arts andSciences senior.
For the University’s presen-tation, the four seniors split upthe slides according to eachindividual’s area of expertise,Chadha said.
The presentation was 15minutes long, which included
13 minutes of the group’s workfollowed by a two-minute question and answer session,said Usman Ahmed, RMCA co-president.
Kunal said the four team-mates’ close friendship helpedwith the synergy within the
group as well as the team’sability to recognize thestrengths and weaknesses ofeach individual.
“We definitely thought out-side of the box,” Chadha said.
The team used solutionsthat the judges — who areemployees from major consult-ing firms, like IBM — used intheir companies in the past,Chadha said. He believes thisis part of the reason for theirhigh placement.
Though RMCA did have ini-tial doubts, Kunal said once theteam members arrived at theUniversity of Pennsylvaniacampus, they grew confident.
The team is happy aboutsecuring their win in thirdplace because it was the firsttime the organization partici-pated in a national competition,
“It shows we can stack upagainst these top universities,”Kunal said.
Yale University and theUniversity of Toronto were the top-two teams, respectively,said Ahmed, a RutgersBusiness School senior.
If RMCA placed in the toptwo, it would have moved on to
do a 30-minute presentation infront of all of the members andthe judges, he said.
The group was created thispast summer, after foundersrealized there were no clubs orgroups dedicated to helpingstudents break into the indus-try, Chadha said.
Though the four membersof RMCA are currently seniors,the University of Pennsylvaniaexpressed interest in havingthe team return for future com-petitions, Kunal said.
The RMCA is looking intoparticipating in more competi-tions next semester, includingan elite case competition inEurope, Ahmed said.
Some of the teams the groupmet at the competitionexpressed interest in partici-pating in a similar conferenceat the University, he said.
“We plan to host our owncase competition next semes-ter,” Ahmed said.
University researchers found an impor tant link between playtime and children suf fering fromserious illness or learning disorders such as ADHD.
Cindy Dell Clark, a visiting associate anthropol-ogy professor at Rutgers-Camden, said creative
play is a good coping mechanism for children withdiabetes and asthma in her book “In Sickness andin Play,” according to a Rutgers FOCUS article.
“What we can do is give them the space withintheir imagination to help them grapple with [life’s]dif ficulties,” said Dell Clark in the article.
Linda Reddy, associate professor of psychology at the University, said group playtime can suppress children’s ADHD symptoms in her upcoming book, “Group PlayInterventions for Children: Strategies for TeachingProsocial Skills.”

Tour” chess game, but the pro-gram was unsuccessful and hemoved his focus to computing.
“You need a brain to think outtheir approaches,” he said. “Imoved on.”
After Wozniak found a smallcomputer manual while workingat his high school job, he saw thecomplexity of computers andcentered on redesigning it usingfewer parts. He often snuck intoStanford University buildingsafter hours to study computers.
“What I found out is: wherereally bright people worked, theyalways left the doors unlocked,”he said. “[I studied the] comput-ers the company [was puttingout] at the time. Eventually mydesigns were half as many parts.”
While at the University ofCalifornia Berkley, Wozniaktook a year to work and pay offhis college education. Duringthat year off, he was introducedto Steve Jobs.
“We met on the sidewalk. Hewas a lighter, had-no-money sort
In his presentation, Katzargued that the issues socialmedia raise are unprecedentedin human history.
“Throughout the history ofhuman communication tech-nology, there has been conflictover each new technology —moral conflict, behavioral con-flict,” he said. “[But] we’re notreally prepared for theunleashing of all the dramaticchanges that we have throughsocial media.”
Katz led the audiencethrough a history of communica-tion technology and said thatmodern gadgets have becomehighly prolific, portable and pow-erful. These characteristics allowtechnology to offer an array ofservices that blur traditionalboundaries between interperson-al and mass communication.
Citing a Pew Research Centerstudy released last week, he illus-trated the widespread use ofsocial media. According to thestudy, 4 in 5 teens on the Internetparticipate in social networkingsites, he said.
He broke the numbers downfurther to point out that despiteage, gender, race and financialstatus, young people exhibit ahigh use of social media acrossthe board.
“It’s very much part of peo-ple’s daily cycle, part of their lan-guage and how they spend a lotof their mental time,” he said.“Even if they’re physically pres-ent in one area, they’re psycho-logically engaged with theirsocial media.”
Richard L. Edwards, interimexecutive vice president forAcademic Affairs, said it is withinthe University’s mission to studythe impact of new technology tohelp the larger community navi-gate through its use.

social media and to share prac-tical advice … about how to besttake advantage of these power-ful new tools and how toaddress problems and issuesthat arise as a result of them,”he said.
Edwards believes thataddressing issues of social mediathrough multiple scholarly disci-plines puts the University at theforefront of leading the publicinto the future.
The symposium featured aseries of panel events that ran throughout the day. Each panel showcased a collection ofUniversity scholars who grap-pled over different aspects ofsocial media and how to addresstheir consequences.
One discussion talked aboutfactors that could influence anadolescent’s misuse of socialmedia while another exploredthe roles that professionals couldplay in preventing harm fromcyber-bullying.
The closing address, whichfeatured Tulane University LawSchool Associate Professor AmyGajda, informed audience mem-bers on how legislation is shift-ing because of these risingissues and how courts must bal-ance between social costs andfree speech.
Vice President for StudentAf fairs Gregor y S. Blimling,who attended the symposium,said it is impor tant for theUniversity to spread informa-tion about its research on this topic.
“The more we get people talk-ing about this, the more opportu-nities we have to bring this intothe classroom to have studentsdiscuss it and think about it open-ly,” he said.
Joseph Clementi said his fam-ily was grateful for sentiments ofsupport he received from all overthe nation this past year. Hethanked the University for host-ing the conference.
“We think that events like thisare an excellent first step in help-ing everyone to understand theimportance of their words andactions,” Clementi said.
of guy, living the life of the hippy,”he said.
Wozniak said the two com-pared technology pranks eachpulled and became friends. WithWozniak as the designer and Jobsas the face of the company, thetwo started working on a bluebox telephone transistor. Theylater went on to develop modelsof the Apple I computer.
Wozniak said he designed thehardware, circuit board and oper-ating system for Apple I himself.
“I knew the formula to buildthat computer. I told my dadwhat I was going to have,” hesaid. “[I found] the basic lan-guage [that was] right for per-sonal computers.”
Wozniak and Jobs later creat-ed what would become Apple thecompany, he said.
University President RichardL. McCormick said Wozniak isone of the leading innovators ofhis time and continues to exhibita spirit of entrepreneurship thatstudents could emulate.
“Entrepreneurship is a spiritthat has driven some members ofsociety to incredible success andhas benefited them as well by giv-ing us the supplies to fight dis-ease [and] communicate instantly
with someone half way aroundthe world,” he said.
McCormick said Wozniak is not only an entrepreneur, but also a model of unconven-tional thinkers.
“His joint efforts with anoth-er genius brought about theApple computer, which revolu-tionized computing and ulti-mately changed the way welearn, communicate, work andplay,” he said.
The University is accommo-dating entrepreneurship by cre-ating hacker spaces, or do-it-yourself spaces, where studentscan get together and exploreideas for future products andcreate models, said RichardMammone, professor of supplychain management and market-ing science.
Mammone said most of the breaks from traditionaltechnology star t from smallstartup companies.
“Steve Wozniak and SteveJobs met through a [Homebrew]Computer Club [and] as an out-come of that, Apple [Inc.]evolved,” he said. “Maybe thefuture Steve Jobs and SteveWozniak will get together andcreate the new Apple.”
Of the Republican candidateswho announced their candidacy,Christie endorses Gov. MittRomney, R-Mass.
“I just think he’s the best can-didate that’s offering [himself]right now,” he said. “His back-ground in business and his back-ground in government are agood combination.”
Christie said the publicshould still consider PresidentBarack Obama a contender forre-election and recommendedcomparing Obama’s speechesfrom the oval office with one ofhis campaign speeches.
“It’s as if they’re not the sameperson, he gets more energizedand animated,” he said. “He’s offthe prompter and seeminglyspeaking from his gut. That’sthe guy who people elected tooffice in 2008.”
Although Christie saidObama is a formidable candi-date, he believes the presidentwill face challenges in theupcoming election.
“Unemployment has neverbeen this low for an incumbentrunning for re-election,” Christiesaid. “He said a lot of things we’regoing to change, but he has let[people] down on a lot of things.”
Christie said job creationimproved in New Jersey since hetook office, with the addition ofabout 45,000 private sector jobs.
“We have to set up a businessatmosphere where people wantto come and expand,” he said.“We’ve begun to move up in theway people perceive us.”
He also discussed partisan pol-itics and how New Jersey oper-ates with a Republican governorand democratic state legislature.
“[It works] if the executive —the person in charge — forcesmeetings, compromise and con-versation,” he said. “That bringspeople together.”
He said compromise betweenthe parties takes time, citing hispension and benefit reform instate as an example.
“I came out with my plan first.It was aggressive, but it started aconversation,” he said. “It [was]difficult for me to tell police offi-cers and teachers … they have topay more for their pension. Ittook nine months, but we got to apoint where we compromised.”
Christie said if he were able tocreate an education systemdesigned to bring about successfor students, it would be hisbiggest accomplishment.
“The model is broken. Wehave to fix the way we’re teachingthese children,” he said. “We haveto reform the tenure system …

Police raid Occupy camp after safety concernsASSOCIATED PRESS
OAKLAND, Calif. — Policedecked in riot gear and armedwith tear gas cleared outOakland’s anti-Wall Streetencampment early Monday, thelatest law enforcement crack-down amid complaints aroundthe country of health and safetyhazards at protest camps.
The raid at the OccupyOakland camp, one of the largestand most active sites in the move-ment, came a day after police inPortland, Ore., arrested morethan 50 people while shuttingdown its camp amid complaintsof drug use and sanitation issues.
Police staged a previous raidon the Oakland encampment onOct. 25, but Mayor Jean Quanallowed protesters to re-establishtheir tent city. On Monday, how-ever, Quan said officials could nolonger ignore the problemsposed by the camp.
“We came to this pointbecause Occupy Oakland, Ithink, began to take a differentpath than the original move-ment,” Quan said. “The encamp-ment became a place where wehad repeated violence and lastweek a murder. We had to bringthe camp to an end before morepeople got hurt.”
Demands increased forOakland protesters to pack upafter a man was shot and killedThursday near the encampmentat the City Hall plaza.
Protesters claimed there wasno connection between theshooting and the camp. Butpolice identified the slain man as

Kayode Ola Foster, 25, ofOakland, saying his family con-firmed he had been staying atthe plaza.
Witnesses also told police thatone of two suspects in the shoot-ing had also been a frequent resi-dent at the plaza. The names of thesuspects have not been released.
Monday’s raid came as no sur-prise to protesters after the cityissued its fourth order to abandonthe camp. About 300 officers fromthe Oakland Police Departmentand seven other law enforcementagencies moved in around 5:30a.m., arresting 32 people and tear-ing down about 150 tents.
Another man was arrestedlater in the morning for trying tobreak through police barricadesand spitting on officers.
Protesters vowed to regroupand return.
“I don’t see how they’re goingto disperse us,” said Ohad Meyer,30, of Oakland. “There are thou-sands of people who are going tocome back.”
Officials declared the opera-tion a success, saying all arrestswere peaceful and there were noreported injuries to protesters orofficers. Police said those takeninto custody likely will facecharges of unlawful assemblyand lodging.
“This had been a very difficultsituation,” Quan said. “I’d tried todo what was right for the city andkeep the most people safe atevery step.”
Not everyone in Quan’s campagreed with the show of force.
Dan Siegel, one of themayor’s top legal advisers,
resigned over Monday’s raid,saying officials should have donemore to work with protestersbefore sending in police. Siegel,a longtime friend of Quan whoworked as an unpaid adviser, hasbeen a vocal critic of Oaklandpolice and their handling of theOct. 25 raid.
Video footage of a protestafter the Oct. 25 raid showed offi-cers using flash-bang grenadesand firing bean bag rounds intothe crowd, injuring a number ofpeople and prompting cries ofpolice brutality.
Protesters in Portland hadbeen ordered to leave theirencampment by midnightSaturday. However, in the hoursleading to the deadline, thou-sands of protesters flooded two blocks of parkland where
an Occupy encampment firstappeared on Oct. 6.
Riot police retreated and bydawn most of the crowds had leftthe area but many of the originalprotesters remained.
Police moved in later, with anofficer on a loudspeaker warningthat anyone who resisted riskedarrest and “may also be subject tochemical agents and impactweapons.” Demonstrators chant-ed “we are a peaceful protest.”
One man was taken away on astretcher. He was alert and talk-ing to paramedics, and raised apeace sign to fellow protesters,who responded with cheers.
Portland Mayor Sam Adamsdefended his order to clear theparkland, saying it is his job toenforce the law and keep thepeace. Police finished cleaning up
the area Monday, and officialsreported no major disturbances.
Officials in Oakland and othercities said protesters would beallowed to gather again at the siteof their former camps as long asthey didn’t spend the night.
Oakland police Chief HowardJordan said a strong police pres-ence would remain at the plazaaround the clock to make sureprotesters didn’t roll out tents andsleeping bags again.
Shon Kae, who’s on theOccupy Oakland media commit-tee, said it was still unclear whatdemonstrators’ next move wouldbe. Some angry protesters hintedat plans to gather for a protest inthe plaza later Monday.

When Reagan took office in January 1981, theU.S. economy was in disrepair. Unemploymentwas at 7.2 percent, inflation was at 13.5 percentand the misery index was at an all-time high of20.76. Reagan, determined to turn the dismaleconomic situation around, took the philosophyfrom his ranch and brought it to the rest ofAmerica. The results were surreal. After eightyears in the White House, Reagan helped create
a business climate that saw theunemployment rate drop nearly 30percent to 5.2, the inflation rate to4.08 percent and the misery indexto 9.57. In his tenure as president,Reagan oversaw the creation of 16million new jobs and a spike ingross domestic product from $2.76trillion in 1980 to $5.04 trillion in1988. Think about that for a
moment — it took the United States more than200 years to reach $2.76 trillion in GDP, andReagan almost doubled the entire net worth ofthe United States in eight years. In addition, hispolicies laid the groundwork for the next 25years of growth that saw GDP rise to $14.3 tril-lion before declining in 2008.
The economic success of Reagan was usheredin through the idea that the American peopleknew how to spend their money better than gov-ernment. Under Reagan, the nation grew and gov-ernment shrank. Burdensome regulations thathindered the free spirit of American entrepre-neurs were removed, and prosperity ensued.When Reagan instituted new taxes, he did sounder the promise from congressional Democratsthat for every dollar in new taxes, they would cutthree in federal spending. The spending cutsnever came and after realizing his mistake,Reagan passed further tax reforms in 1986 thatbroadened the tax base and put economic growthin the fast lane. Contrary to liberal rhetoric, the

QUOTE OF THE DAY
A more cynical critic of the Republican Party might agree with thepopular narrative that the GOP only cares about the wealthyand point to things like former President George W. Bush’s tax
cuts and trickle-down theory of Reaganomics as proof. However, it canbe dangerous to make blanket statements about any political group. Ifyou are one of those cynics in need of convincing that not everyRepublican is out to destroy the middle and lower classes, look no fur-ther than Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Okla., whose recently released report,“Subsidies of the Rich and Famous,” attacks the government for spend-ing $30 billion a year on what he calls “welfare for the well-off.” Coburnis calling for an end to such subsidies, and we agree with him.
According to Coburn’s reports, individuals making more than $1million a year can obtain significant funding from the federal govern-ment, including: $18.15 million in child care tax credits, $74 million inunemployment checks, $89 million for preservation of ranches andestates, $316 million in farm subsidies, $608 million in business enter-tainment deductions, $9 billion in retirement checks, $21 billion in gam-bling losses and $28 billion in mortgage breaks for mansions, vacationhomes and yachts. It does not matter what party you subscribe to. Inthese tough economic times, there’s no reason that the majority of thecountry should suffer while the rich are allowed to receive $21 billionfor their gambling losses. Like Coburn, we are not advocating for classwarfare. What we would like to see, however, is a more fair and bal-anced approach to the economic burdens that this country is facing.
Coburn has made it clear that he does not want to raise taxes on thewealthy, but that would certainly be one way to ensure that allAmericans are pulling their weight when it comes to shouldering thetremendous national debt. However, President Barack Obama’s “BuffettRule” is not by any means the only way to do it. Coburn suggests that weend the type of wasteful spending that he outlines in his report. Insteadof paying to preserve the estates of the wealthy or helping them buyyachts, the government could take at least some of the $30 billion andput it to a much better use. Remember that most of the people who applyfor unemployment benefits are not making $1 million a year. Whereassome communities are losing streetlights and police forces, billions ofdollars are going toward mortgage breaks for people who do not reallyneed the help — something about that doesn’t seem right.
T hrough the gen-erosity of YoungA m e r i c a ’ s
Foundation program, I hadthe privilege of spendingthis past weekend at theReagan Ranch in SantaBarbara, Calif. Nicknamedthe “Western White House,”Rancho del Cielo or “Ranchin the Heaven,” was the most prized possession ofthe 40th president of the United States, RonaldReagan. Edmund Morris, Reagan’s biographer, saidthat to understand Reagan, one must go to hisranch, as that is where you will “find his soul.” Iurge everyone — conservative, liberal, apathetic orsomewhere in between — to visit this priceless andbeautiful piece of American history and grasp theessence of Ronald Reagan.
It has become somewhat of a cliché to say thatAmerica is missing Reagan, but for years I nevertruly understood what that meant. Today, I canproudly say I do. Our country is missing Reagan,and not only because his policies helped turn agreat recession into the greatestspan of economic growth in the his-tory of the United States. America ismissing Reagan because in him, wehad a leader who instilled confi-dence and courage in the UnitedStates. Reagan was a man who, if leftalone in a room with anybody,regardless of political persuasion,would make that person the centerof the universe. Michael Reagan, Ronald’s eldestson, recalled last weekend a conversation he hadwith actor Alec Baldwin. Baldwin, not fan of con-servatives — or Ronald Reagan for that matter —told Michael that he misses the 40th presidentbecause he had a soul, something absent fromtoday’s average politician.
Stories about Reagan give insight into his per-sonality, but his ranch represents the epicenter ofhis ideology. Located atop the Santa YnezMountain range, Rancho Del Cielo consists ofvast open space, rolling hills, breathtaking oceanviews and a modest 688-acre ranch. Not a daywent by on the ranch that Reagan didn’t partici-pate in his two favorite activities: riding his hors-es and working the land. His riding representedthe freedom that America has known to love, anultimate pursuit of happiness. His toil of the landlet him bear the fruit of his labor and the satisfac-tion of success through hard work. It is here thatReagan signed the 1981 Economic Recovery TaxAct, the largest tax cut in American history andthe antecedent for one of the greatest economicexpansions in the history of the world. He signed

Cooperate with NYPDdespite profiling
End subsidies for millionaires
T he Associated Press reported in September that the New YorkPolice Department was spying on innocent Muslim people.This information did not sit well with Muslim-Americans, and
rightfully so. Ethnic profiling, even in the name of the “War on Terror,”is never acceptable. Now, some groups have decided that, because ofthe NYPD’s misconduct, they cannot and should not be trusted.Organizations, such as the Council on American-Islamic Relations(CAIR) and the City University of New York Law School, released pam-phlets and organized meetings warning people to watch out for policeinformants and urging them to refuse to cooperate with NYPD investi-gations. These groups argue that involvement in these investigationswould lead to unintended trouble for innocent Muslims. We agree thatwhat the NYPD did was wrong, but to create a better relationshipbetween the NYPD and the Muslim community, the key is cooperation.
The NYPD should not have been spying on innocent Muslims, butthat does not change the fact that terrorism is a real threat in theUnited States. As such, we need for our law forces to investigate anypossible terrorist threats. In order for them to do that job properly,they need the cooperation of our innocent citizens. They will faceenough resistance from the actual terrorists. Instead of encouragingresistance, CAIR and these other organizations should be attackingthe real problem — the conduct of the NYPD. We do not doubt thevery real possibility that members of the NYPD are not treatingMuslims fairly, and we find such behavior reprehensible. But, in orderto change this situation, the NYPD and the Muslim community needto work together, not fight each other.
Muslim organizations should condemn the fact that NYPD hasbeen spying on innocent American citizens. If these organizationscome together and challenge the NYPD’s conduct collectively as onevoice, then it will be that much harder for the NYPD to carry out anymore questionable surveillance. All parties need to focus on workingtogether for the safety of the United States. We understand why CAIRand other organizations are strongly upset with the NYPD — and theyhave every right to be — but the strategies they are employing to airtheir grievances may have the unfortunate side effect of impeding aserious investigation. As for the NYPD, they too must recognize theserious flaws in their practices and amend their ways.

COMMENT OF THE DAY
poverty rate under Reaganstayed at relatively similar levelsbetween 1980 and 1988. WhenReagan took office, it was 12.95percent and when he left, it was13 percent. Liberals are correctthat the middle class shrunkdue to Reagan’s cuts, but theyalways fail to mention that it wasa result of the upward move-ment of income levels.
Through a mix of commonsense, economic reforms andthe mindset that Americanshave an uncanny ability toaccomplish anything they puttheir mind to, Reagan helpedpull America back from thebrink of perpetual decline. Hebelieved in American exception-

alism and, more importantly,the American people. We say wemiss Reagan not because weare nostalgic for the glory days,but because under his leader-ship — real leadership —Americans were given the abili-ty to reach their full potential,and they did. Reagan under-stood the American dream. Itwasn’t one shackled by govern-ment and limited in its capacity.Rather, it was a dream of freemen atop a shining city on a hill,possessed with the ability toproduce as much as theydesired, much like his little“ranch in the heavens.”

BY STEVEN MILLERSPORTS EDITOR
Traveling home from Brockport,N.Y., Rutgers head wrestling coachScott Goodale could not shake a
sense offr ustra-tion.
T h eS c a r l e tKnights
placed five wrestlers in thefinals of their weight classes atthe Brockport/Oklahoma GoldClassic, which juniors MarioMason and Gregory Zannettiwon to lead the team to a third-place finish.
“I expect those guys to win,”Goodale said. “I was thinkingabout the guys who lost, and Ithink every coach does that.There were matches we left out there, matches we could’vewon and didn’t. I was a little frustrated, to be honestwith you.”
Mason and Zannetti were frus-trated, as well.
Mason, who earned co-MostOutstanding Wrestling honorsfor his performance as the topseed in the 149-pound bracket,said he did not wrestle as wellas he wanted.
Zannetti, who was the topseed in the 174-pound bracket,thought he left points on the mat.
“There’s some things I’dlike to do a little dif ferent,”
Zannetti said. “I felt like I couldhave won by more, but it’s agood star ting point for the season. Now I have to keepthat going and try to have funout there.”
Zannetti scored a 14-4 majordecision in his first matchup,pinned No. 10 Oklahoma’sNolan McBryde in the semifi-nals and beat Maryland’s 16th-ranked Jimmy Sheptock, 5-2, inthe finals.
“He could have scored a lot more, and that’s what
frustrates him,” Goodale said.“He’s not happy about it, whichis a great attitude to have. Youcan’t be happy coasting, andhe’s not happy winning 5-2.”
Senior 197-pounder DanRinaldi left points and a title onthe mat as well, Goodale said.
Rinaldi was the top seed in hisweight class, cruised through thefirst two rounds with a 13-1 majordecision and 10-4 decision andthen lost, 8-6, in overtime toMaryland’s Christian Boley.
“He was killing the kid, thengot thrown on his back for a 5-pointer,” Goodale said. “He stillhas an oppor tunity to win in overtime and doesn’t. It’s a match you should never lose.I thought that got away from us.”
Rinaldi joined juniors ScottWinston (165 pounds) and DanSeidenberg (184 pounds) asrunner-ups, while an injury tooksenior Dan Hopkins’ opportuni-ty to win heavyweight.
Hopkins won his first roundbout with American’s BlakeHerrin and then bruised his ribsagainst Kyle Colling of Oklahomain the semifinals.
The injury will keep the sen-ior out of this weekend’s dualmeet at Oklahoma State, wheresophomore Carl Buchholz willinstead wrestle.
“I worry about our heavy-weight situation,” Goodale said.
It was still enough for No. 15Rutgers to place third, behind No.10 Oklahoma and No. 11Maryland, but ahead ofAmerican, which is tied for the11th ranking with Maryland. Andtwo individual titles and a co-MostOutstanding Wrestling honorwere more than the Knightsclaimed in years past.
“It’s a confidence builder,”Mason said. “The more confidentyou are going into a match, thebetter you are. Definitely with thewhole team wrestling well, it willgive us an upper hand.”

In just his second year on theBanks, Donigan notes that hecould not have gotten the team tothis point alone. The coach cred-its a complete team effort fromtop to bottom in the quick turn-around for the program.
“This is a very nice reward forthem — obviously everybody else
that makes and affects this team,from [Athletic Director] TimPernetti [to] our support staff,” hesaid. “My assistant coaches havedone an unbelievable job in help-ing us get this thing to where it isand getting to this position.”
Donigan also knows this is justthe beginning of the potential forthe Knights.
“By no means are we sitting orresting on this,” Donigan said. “Nowwe want to go out and make somenoise in the postseason.”

No matter what sport, everyteam wants to begin the season witha victory. But six straight wins to
kick off theyear haveR u t g e r s
head swimming and diving coachPhil Spiniello excited for what liesahead for the program.
“This is a special group ofwomen,” Spiniello said. “Theseswimmers and divers are motivated,have goals and every day, put thosegoals in front of them in trying to getbetter in the pool.”
The 6-0 Scarlet Knights kepttheir record unblemished thisyear as they captured team victo-ries last weekend against SetonHall and Texas Christian.
The Knights took down theonce-undefeated Pirates, 278-74,and escaped with a 197-155 victo-ry against the Horned Frogs inthe two-day event at the SonnyWerblin Recreation Center.
The success of the upperclass-men continued as seniors BrianneLindblad and Jacquelyn Ward con-tributed toward the tri-meet sweep.
Ward took home three individ-ual titles, which included the 200-yard individual medley Friday, andtwo wins during Saturday’s portion.She hit the wall first in both the 400-yard individual medley and 500-yardfreestyle, which she finished with apersonal-best time of 4:59.96.
Lindblad experienced her fairshare of success, as well. The Kent,Wash., native placed first Saturdayin the 100-yard backstroke and the200-yard backstroke.
Sophomore Chelsea Rolinjoined Lindblad in two individualwin columns with victories inboth the 200- and 1,000-yardfreestyle events. The underclass-man finished the 1,000-yard racein a season-best time of 10:19.98.
Senior Trisha Averill, whoplaced first in the 100-yard breast-stroke, was happy with the way theteam performed, but knows itneeds to continue its hard work inpractice to keep momentum in theright direction.
“I thought we did really welloverall,” Averill said. “There weresome things that didn’t go perfectly,but for the most part it went prettygood. We just need to keep workingon the finer things for future races.”
For the divers, junior CarissaSantora continued with her strongshowing in the 3-meter dive. Theformer Virginia Tech Hokie cap-tured first in the event with a scoreof 283.80.
Captain Katie Kearney picked upa second-place finish in the 1-meterdive, while sophomore Nicole Scottfinished third in both the 1- and 3-meter dives
“It was a great performancefor our divers,” Spiniello said.“We all realize that there is morework to be done in order to reachour goals in February at the BigEast Championships.”
Spiniello sees a difference inthe team’s attitude from last yearand is ecstatic at the level of suc-cess it has experienced thus far.
“It’s exciting to be undefeated,”Spiniello said. “It makes me excit-ed for what’s to come in the secondhalf of the season and a nicereward for the hard work thesewomen have put in to this point. Itkeeps us motivated.”
SWIMMING & DIVING
BY ANTHONY HERNANDEZASSOCIATE SPORTS EDITOR
With all the changes Rutgershead football coach Greg Schianomade in the defense’s front-
seven, it iseasy to
forget about the moves he madein the secondary.
But the 11th-year head coach’smemory gets jogged every weekwhen he watches senior DavidRowe at safety.
“I think David Rowe may beone of the most improved playerson our football team, believe it ornot,” Schiano said. “You say, ‘Howdoes he do that after all the foot-ball he’s played?’ He’s become areally sure tackler. … He’s alwaysbeen a skill guy and a finesse guybecause of the role he’s beenplaced [into]. My hat’s off to himbecause he works incrediblyhard. … I’m just so impressedwith how David has adapted tothe position.”
Rowe makes his final start inPiscataway on Saturday afterbeginning his career as a nickelcorner behind NFL cornerbacksDevin and Jason McCourty. He
then earned his first reps as astarter during his sophomoreseason opposite DevinMcCourty, then oppositeBrandon Bing, who is now on theNew York Giants practice squad,last season as a junior.
The Cocoa, Fla., native madehis most strides as a cover cor-ner during that time, leading theScarlet Knights with two inter-ceptions in his sopho-more season.
But Rowe left plentyof room for growth as a tackler.
Schiano noted tack-ling was never Rowe’scalling card, but the safe-ty honed the skill duringthe offseason andthrough the team’s first10 games.
Rowe especiallyturned his focus to tacklingafter the Knights’ 24-22 loss toNorth Carolina in Week 2, hesaid, and has since thrived as aconsistent presence in theRutgers secondary.
“I just emphasized it,” Rowesaid. “Once you emphasize cer-tain things, you can get better at
those certain things, and I knewat safety I’d have to be in the boxmore and make a lot more tack-les, so I just worked harder at it.”
Rowe is sixth on the team with44 tackles and still found ways tomake plays in his final season onthe Banks. The 6-foot free safetyis second in interceptions withthree behind only junior DuronHarmon, who boasts five.
Rowe continuesfinding ways toimprove, which is whyhe still keeps in fre-quent contact withMcCourty and Bing.
“I still ask them alot of questions, tryingto learn new things,”he said. “What theytaught me here justmade me an overallbetter player.”
In turn, Rowe passed hisknowledge down to otherKnights. The biggest beneficiaryis sophomore Logan Ryan, whosettled in this season as a consis-tent shutdown corner.
Ryan recorded nine passbreakups and two interceptionsthrough 10 games, pointing
to Rowe’s leadership and football knowledge as keys tohis development.
“His skills have definitelyhelped me grow, especially inthe mental aspect,” Ryan said.“Some people say he’s thesmartest player on our team. Heknows a lot of football and he’sgoing to help me as a defensiveback in general — whether he’sa safety or corner.”
The culmination of Rowe’scareer now rests on a battle withBig East rival Cincinnati, a teamRowe and the rest of the 16 sen-iors have yet to beat.
Rowe and the rest of thedefensive unit attempt to do theirbest to avoid a repeat of last sea-son’s beat-down in Cincinnati,where the Bearcats put up 69points in a win.
The performance painfullyreminded Schiano of the earlydays of his tenure, he said.
Rowe hopes to wipe the gameclear out of his memory with aSenior Day victory.
“This will be my last homegame here, and I definitely had funthese last four years,” Rowe said.“Hopefully I can end it right.”

The screen showing theNCAA tournament selectionshow in the Rutgers men’s soc-
cer team’sl o c k e r
room was barely large enoughfor everyone huddled around itto see.
But the image it reflectedmeant wonders to the head coachDan Donigan’s upstart program.
The NCAA announced yester-day that the Scarlet Knightsearned their first NCAATournament ber th since 2006and will host Colgate at YurcakField on Thursday in the first round.
“We had it set up in the lockerroom and there was probablyabout 15 of us,” said senior
Br yant Knibbs. “They showedthe whole bracket real small andsomeone spotted it. We all went alittle bit crazy.”
The celebration among theKnights is well deserved. For ateam that failed to qualify for theBig East Tournament last year,the NCAA ber th is a sign of what could turn into a full-pro-gram rejuvenation.
“I’m very happy for the play-ers — in particular, the seniors,”Donigan said. “When we camehere, we told them their goalshould be able to help us turnthis thing around by the timethey get out of here. Obviously,with the NCAA Tournamentappearance, they can say withouta doubt they have done that.”
Knibbs is among those seniormembers who took the reigns ofa team that was without success
in recent memor y. For him, the chance to continue playing is invaluable.
“It feels great for us. It wasone of our goals at the beginningof the season, and we accom-plished it,” Knibbs said. “Now,thankfully, we have more ball-games to play.”
Even more valuable for theKnights is the chance to begintheir tournament play at homeon Yurcak Field. They hold a dis-tinct advantage in Piscataway, asRutgers is 6-3-1 on its home turfthis season.
Off the field, the Knights seetheir berth as a chance to bring theteam into the spotlight, a place ithas not been in years.

T h eSt. Anthony product did not losea game during his senior seasonat the Jersey City basketballpowerhouse, but he never playedagainst Miami (Fla.), either.
“Miami is probably going tobe a quicker team, so we justhave to get better pace duringthe game and play betterdefense,” Mack said.
The Scarlet Knights (1-0)used their matchup with theHurricanes last year as a barom-eter for how many growing painsthey would endure with a shortbench and limited talent.
So head coach Mike Riceslowed the pace against up-and-
down Miami (1-0), and theKnights earned their first winagainst a power conferenceschool since 2006.
Now with a deep bench andan obvious talent pool, Rice doesnot have to limit the Knights to ahalf-court af fair with Miami. Buthe still might with three fresh-men in his backcourt.
“I hope these guys learn fromtheir mistakes,” Rice said. “Theyhad no idea who Dartmouth was.We can’t take anybody lightly.”

Rutgers head field hockey coachLiz Tchou knew the Scarlet Knightswould have a new identity next yearwith seven players graduating. But
Tchou foundout yester-
day that identity would no longerinclude her.
Athletic Director Tim Pernettiannounced yesterday the Knightswill not retain Tchou after her con-tract expired at the end of this sea-son. Tchou ends her tenure with a63-109 record and two Big EastTournament appearances in hernine years at Rutgers.
The most recent appearancecame last year, when Tchou led theKnights to their first conferencetournament appearance since 2003,her first as head coach.
But the Iowa product ended hertenure on a low note this year (5-13,2-4), marking the Knights’ seventhmissed Big East Tournament withTchou at the helm.
Rutgers already started to look fora new head coach, but assistant coachMeredith Long serves as interim headcoach in the meantime.
Long played field hockey atBoston University and Maryland,appearing in three Final Four’s withthe Terrapins from 2003-05. Sheserved as an assistant for Tchou thepast two years.
The Knights snuck into the 2010conference tournament with a 30-goaloutput that season, and Tchou wantedRutgers to surpass the total this year.
The team finished three shy of 30,but the season ended as one markedby an inability to capitalize on offense,with the Knights making only 14.1percent of their shots.
Tchou’s Knights dug them-selves into a deep hole early in theseason with a seven-game losingstreak in which Rutgers scoredonly seven goals.
Only one of the losses occurred inconference play, meaning the Knights’Big East Tournament hopes were stillalive. But after three more Big Eastlosses in the Knights’ next fourgames, Tchou once again failed toearn a postseason berth.
When then Knights ended theseason Oct. 30 with the loss toMaryland, Tchou said the No. 2Terrapins were a program she want-ed the Knights to mirror.
Tchou will not be around to pursuethat goal, but Rutgers is already on thelookout for a new head coach to bringthe Knights a winning culture.
