and mediation and turned theminto a specialization.”

The new specialization is calledStrategic Public Communicationand Public Relations, combining sixtheory-based and six practice-based courses, she said.

Former professionals whoworked in the field teach the practicecourses, which aim to familiarize stu-dents with the practical aspects ofthe field. The theory courses teachthe underpinning relationships andthe set of principles behind public

relations, said Jack Grasso, a professor in the Department of Communication.

“Public communications andpublic relations are very dynamicprofessions, and we’re here to pre-pare students for performance inthe discipline,” he said.

Jane McAlevey, a seasoned vet-eran among labor organizers in theUnited States, believes a union isonly as good as the people who par-ticipate in it.

This was her message last nightto students in the School ofManagement and Labor Relationsat the Rutgers Labor EducationCenter on Douglass campus.

McAlevey, who has spent half ofher life dedicated to helping work-ers mobilize and collectively fightfor their rights, was brought tocampus by an old friend and for-mer labor organizer ProfessorJanice Fine to talk about her expe-riences and her recent publication.

Also, Piven discussed the con-cept of disruptive power, whichshe said was when the publicsimply stops cooperating with asystem they view as unjust tochange it.

“You know that universitiesdo not run unless students cometo school and pay their tuition,and that factories do not rununless people come to work,”she said.

Another topic Piven touchedupon was how protest move-ments and electoral politics areconnected, and that both areneeded to create truly success-ful change. She said this isbecause our current electoralsystem is skewed against ordi-nary people.

“You can change move-ments through movements orthrough organizing for elec-toral victory,” Piven said. “Theproblem [with electoral poli-tics] is that there a distortionsbuilt into the system, such as gerrymandering.”

William Kramer, a climateactivist who taught a course onagrarian and farmers move-ments at the University as avisiting scholar from 2006-2011, questioned Piven on whythe United States does notseem to have an ef fective climate movement.

Kramer alsoasked whyPresident BarackObama has notacted morea g g r e s s i v e l yagainst climatechange, despitepromises to.

Piven repliedthat as president,Obama musthave a dif ferent

temperament than grassrootsactivists, but people can stillapply pressure on him.

Nat Sowinski, a School of Artsand Sciences senior, said shelearned about the connectionbetween grassroots activism andlegislative politics throughPiven’s talk.

“We as a university areworking on in state tuition forundocumented immigrants,”she said. “It is grassroots cou-pled with legislative tactics,”Sowinski said. “I feel likeFrances Fox Piven did a reallygood job connecting the grass-roots movement to the greaterlegislative sphere.”

Francis Lawrence, aUniversity alumnus, said heattended the event hoping to learn how social movements are connected to electoral politics.

“I wanted to see Piven speakbecause she is the person whospeaks at the Occupy and otherpopulist movements, andexplains the interplay betweenelectoral and grassroots politics,”Lawrence said. “She has the his-torical perspective and the practi-cal experience to speak aboutthese issues.”

At the forefront of theAlexander Library atrium yester-day, a bunch of giant, angrygrapes made with cake, fondant,Kool-Aid and other ingredients,stared at curious onlookers.Melody Tomaszewicz made thecreation — an edible interpreta-tion of John Steinbeck’s, “TheGrapes of Wrath.”

The University Librarieshosted its first annual, “Cookthe Books: An Edible BookFestival” yesterday in the lowerlevel of the Alexander Library.Faculty, staff, students, alumni,as well as New Jersey residentswere invited to enter works ofliterature as food.

“It’s hard to describe what anedible book is,” said MeganLotts, the event coordinator. “Forme, an edible book can be any-thing you want it to be. Anythinggoes in this festival, and that’swhat’s exciting about it.”

Harry Glazer, the library com-munications director, said theentries should represent a book’stitle, either verbatim or in parodyor pun, through an interestingarrangement of food.

The books were judged infive categories, which were pun-niest, best book structure, mostedible, least edible and publicchoice, he said.

Artists Judith Hoffberg andBéatrice Coron started the inter-national festival in 2003, he said.The artists were inspired byFrench gastronome, Jean-Anthelme Brillat-Savarin whowas famous for his book

BY WILSON CONDESTAFF WRITER

As a part of the University’sTent State Program, studentsand community activistslearned about the power ofsocial movements to changeelectoral politics from guestspeaker Frances Fox Piven,who is widely known for herefforts in pressuring Congressto make voter registration easi-er in the 1980s.

Piven began her talk byexplaining the history of socialmovements and their role inAmerican history. She talkedabout how during theRevolutionar y War period,farmers and laborers played amajor role in the struggle for independence.

“Those who we would call thefounding fathers, they would nothave picked up muskets andfought in the frozen fields,” Pivensaid. “They needed someonewho would fight the war, and thefarmers were the ones whowould fight.”

Piven also said theAmerican Revolution was notonly about fighting againstEngland for independence, but also about creating a democratic society in the former colonies.

“For example,the [first] stateconstitution inP e n n s y l v a n i aoriginally haduniversal malesuf frage and aunicameral legis-lature, so therewas no upperhouse that wouldfavor propertiedinterests,” shesaid. “However, that wasreversed, because there was alot of pushback by wealthy andpropertied interests.”

After ward, Piven talkedabout the ef fect of labor move-ments against major corpora-tions in the IndustrialRevolution. She told the storyof how workers managed toshut down a rubber factory inAkron, Ohio, by organizing asit-down strike. She also dis-cussed the impact of similaractions on labor rights in America.

In addition, Piven explainedhow the success of the labormovement was possible after along, hard fight.

“Only in 1935, through theNational Labor Relations Act, didworkers begin to gain the right toorganize unions,” she said.“Before then, unions were in aprecarious legal status, and ourcourts used the Master-Servantdoctrine to have the strikesdeclared illegal.”

Piven said the doctrine basi-cally stated that workers couldnot withdraw their servicesunder any circumstances, nomatter how unfairly employersmay treat them.

“You know that universities do not

run unless studentscome to school andpay their tuition.”

“Physiologie du gout,” a wittymeditation on food.

“Cleverness is the most impor-tant aspect for me,” said Lotts, anart librarian at the University.“Some people will take form veryseriously, and create somethingintricate and delicate. It’s allabout the time and effort youwant to put in.”

Lotts said this is her third timehosting an edible book festival,and she was pleased to bring theevent to Rutgers. The festival pro-vokes interest in novels, and itencourages people to read one ofthe books on display.

She said the event brings thestaples of literature and foodtogether as celebration of theconsumption of culture.

“To me, the most importantaspect was the actual ediblebook,” said Jeremy Pierson, chefmanager at the Rutgers Club.“The fact that many had turningpages was amazing.”

The libraries chose the festivaljudges to bring different perspec-tives, Lotts said. They werePierson, Tom Izbicki, head of col-lection development at the libraries,and Suzanne Delehanty, director ofthe Zimmerli Arts Museum.

Pierson said creating an ediblebook gets people involved on adeeper level with the literature,and the stories came out througheach book.

Rachel Craver, a MasonGross School of the Arts senior,said she was part of anAdvanced Printmaking classthat needed to participate in theevent as an assignment.

“My book was more about thepresentation, and the connection

between what the book is, andwhat the book is about, and thewhole imagery of it,” Craver said.

Her edible book, a take on“Naked Lunch,” featured onesandwich with the title written inseeds and ketchup, and anothersandwich with a cutout of a nakedperson, she said. In addition, shehad some of her clothes on dis-play next to the food, as thoughsomeone had disrobed.

There were a total of 10 win-ners, Lotts said. Second placewinners received a Universitymug, and first place winnersreceived a Subway gift card.Barnes and Noble donated aNook e-reader to the best in show.

First place in punniest went to“Fanta of the Opera.” Piersonsaid. “Prairie Springs,” whichwon first place for best bookstructure, was his personalfavorite for the form and intri-cate detail.

Craver’s “Naked Lunch” wonsecond place in least edible,while first place went to “Splendain the Grass.” “Game of Scones”was named the most edible,Lotts said, followed by“Charlottes Web.”

Best in show went to “TheGrapes of Wrath,” Lotts said.Other pieces included “The Girlwith the Dragon-fruit Tattoo,”“Ketchup in the Rice, ft.Moulden Cauliflower,” as well as“The Bible.”

“I hope this is a catalyst to getpeople excited to be in thelibrary,” Lotss said, “and toremind people that we’re not justa place to get books, we do a lot ofcool stuff in the library.”

childhood studies, which also ini-tiated Ph.D. programs on theCamden campus,” Marsh said.

Lawrence championed under-graduate education at theUniversity, and brought in recordnumbers of applications with hisenrollment-management system.

Student body diversity becamea hallmark of his tenure that con-tinues today. U.S. News & WorldReport has ranked Rutgers-

Newark first in the country in thecategory “Ethnic Diversity” amongnational universities for 16 consec-utive years.

Lawrence was a strong propo-nent of University athletics, and dur-ing his tenure the Universitybecame a founding football memberand later an all-sports participant inthe Big East Conference. He servedas conference chair and also as itsrepresentative to the NationalCollegiate Athletic Association.

The statement said in the realmof information technology,Lawrence guided resources to areassuch as web-based learning andcomputerized “smart” classrooms.

He was the catalyst behindRUNet 2000, a University-widecommunications initiative to sup-port instruction, research and out-reach programming, the largestinfrastructure project in theUniversity’s history.

Approved in 1998, RUNet 2000brought voice, video and data con-nections to hundreds ofUniversity buildings, helpedtransform the University into awired 21st-century teaching andlearning community and pavedthe way for RU-tv, the student-runUniversity television network.

Despite a decade-long trend indeclining state aid for higher edu-cation, the University also experi-enced a significant constructionboom during Lawrence’s tenure aspresident. The Sonny WerblinRecreation Center gave Busch

campus a first-class athletic facilityin 1991.

In New Jersey, Lawrenceserved on numerous higher educa-tion advisory panels, including theNew Jersey Presidents’ Council,which he helped found and wasfirst to chair, and the New JerseyCommission on Higher Education.

He was a member of the NewJersey Commission on Science andTechnology, the New Jersey-IsraelCommission, the Governor’sExecutive Committee of theBusiness-Higher Education Forumand was a founding member of theGovernor’s Statewide SystemicInitiative Policy Board.

In an e-mail statement to theUniversity yesterday, UniversityPresident Robert L. Barchi saidamong his other accomplishments,Lawrence initiated the first univer-sity-wide strategic plan, made sig-nificant investments in informationtechnology through the RUNet2000 project, and launched afundraising campaign that ulti-mately brought more than $600million to the University.

“The Rutgers communitymourns his passing, and we taketime to honor his life and career,”Barchi said.

Lawrence was born inWoonsocket, R.I., on August 25,1937. He received his bachelor’sdegree in French and Spanishfrom Saint Louis University in1959 and his doctorate in Frenchclassical literature from TulaneUniversity in 1962.

He rose through Tulane’s aca-demic and administrative ranksto full professor and chief aca-demic officer.

After stepping down asUniversity president, Lawrencebecame a member of the facultyand also wrote a book,“Leadership in HigherEducation,” based on interviewswith a dozen university presi-dents.

Lawrence is survived by hiswife of 54 years, Mary Kay, sonDr. Christopher Lawrence anddaughters Dr. Naomi Lawrenceand Jennifer Lawrence and theirspouses, 13 grandchildren andthree sisters.

Barchi said a memorial serv-ice would be held Sunday, April28, at 9 a.m. at Kirkpatrick Chapelon the College Avenue campus inNew Brunswick.

scientists rather than studentsprimarily used the Internet, andthe nation was poised for eco-nomic growth.

At the end of his office in 2002,the Internet was part of everyone’sdaily life and the nation was strug-gling following the attacks of Sept.11. Lawrence retired from theUniversity in 2012.

Lawrence is credited with initi-ating the development of theUniversity’s first long-term strate-gic plan, “A New Vision forExcellence,” designed to definestrategic growth areas for theUniversity and elevate it into theranks of the nation’s top researchuniversities.

As a part of the plan, he insti-tuted a multiphase “Reinvest inRutgers” program that strength-ened academics on all campusesand renewed the commitment tolibraries, computer labs andmulticulturalism, according tothe release.

Under Lawrence’s guidance,the University embarked on a vig-orous fundraising campaign thatallocated administrative cost sav-ings as seed money for projectswith the potential to generate sig-nificant external funding.

He spearheaded a reorganiza-tion of the Rutgers UniversityFoundation, the University’sfundraising arm, which resultedin an increase of nearly 500 per-cent in donations to theUniversity and launched a $500million, six-year campaign that atthe time was the most ambitiousin University history.

Margaret Marsh, professor ofhistory at the University, said inthe release that Lawrence alsoplaced a strong focus on childrenand childhood, and was influentialin establishing the Center forChildren and Childhood Studieson the Camden Campus.

“It eventually led to Rutgers-Camden starting the nation’sfirst doctoral degree program in

worked with a real client andattempted to solve his or herunique problems, Weber said.

“The work they come up withruns the spectrum,” he said. “Inthe last class, to get people to par-ticipate in a survey, they raffledoff a $50 gift card. One class alsowent canvassing along half of theNortheast Corridor to look atbookstore merchandising.”

He said students were chal-lenged to work as a class on aproject, which was both a com-mon and important skill to puton a resume in the public rela-tions industry.

“In the field, you’re notworking alone, or in a group offive, but in a team of 30 peo-ple,” he said.

Lewis said the combinationof strategic public communica-tion with the more specializedpublic relations study gave stu-dents more options for a futurecareer. The work they did wasbroader than handling crisesand marketing for the brand.

“You could go into advocacyfor nonprofits, or health cam-paigns to get people to live amore healthy lifestyle or in con-sulting for a firm,” she said.

Jef frey Malaney, a School ofArts of Sciences junior, said heenjoyed the fast-paced atmos-phere. He has an outgoing per-sonality, which drew him tothe field.

“If you want to go into publicrelations, you have to be able totalk to people on a personallevel, and at the same time beyourself,” he said.

Students learn both socialskills, such as working with agroup of people, and technicalskills, such as how to write anewsletter and a press release,said Sha Huang, a School ofArts and Sciences junior. She isinterested in the specialization.

“This may sound ambitious,but I want to do something tohelp my country,” said Huang,an international student from

China. “I feel like the image ofthe country needs to beimproved more.”

Andrew Pilecki, a School ofSchool of Arts and Sciencessenior, said he came to studypublic relations from a verystrange background.

“I almost got an associate’sdegree in audio production, butI realized the credits wouldn’ttransfer, so I switched tovideo,” he said. “I ended upgraduating from BrookdaleCommunity College with adegree in media studies.”

When he came to theUniversity, he started takingcommunication courses, but thepublic relations field drew himin, he said.

“It’s the strategic and appliedtactics of everything I love todo, and it just kind of fell in mylap,” he said.

With the help of theUniversity’s chapter of thePublic Relations Student Societyof America, he found an intern-ship at a small agency workingdigital marketing, where he tooka public relations approach toworking in social media, he said.He was hired in February.

“I didn’t have any experiencein marketing, so I just took thework and adopted it to myskills,” he said.

He was surprised to findhow much writing wasinvolved. He wrote at least sixpress releases a day, he said,along with tweets and otherforms of written media.

He said the structure of mostpublic relations releases weresimilar to news articles, inwhich the writer sets the tone ofthe piece in the beginning andthen adds more details later.

“But there’s a lot more atstake,” he said. “You have tohook people into the story andget the message across, some-times with only 140 characters.”

People hoping to break intothe public relations industryshould start with small agencieswith more hands-on experience,he said, but it is not urgent tochoose a field right away.

“Not one ends up wherethey first studied,” he said.“Don’t have a plan. Just workwith the opportunities thatcome to you.”

remember when exactly it began.It also used to be strictly for pho-tography majors, but has expand-ed to include those who have agenuine love for the art, said JeffMart, the club’s vice president.

For most of the club-goers, themeetings provide them with anopen forum to share their love ofphotography and expand their craft.

At meetings, club membersoften present a quick how-to les-son about a specific skill or cam-era feature, such as setting expo-sure and practicing microphotog-raphy. After that, the photogra-phers are left to practice theskills and capture photos, saidMart, a School of Engineeringand Biological Sciences senior.

Some photographers, likeMart, use digital prints, whileothers, like Jen Kong, a Schoolof Arts and Sciences senior,use film.

“For me, it’s just a hobby, butI like documenting my travelsand the people I meet along theway,” Kong said.

Her pictures focus on imagesthat inflicted a feeling of loneli-ness or solidarity, such as a pho-tograph depicting an Indianwoman alone in a park.

“She was so quiet and took upso little space, but had a lot ofpresence. … I appreciate theloneliness of the woman andthat’s where I find the inspirationfor my photos,” Kong said.

Mart submitted mostly photo-graphs of landscapes and naturescenes in Texas.

“It’s a style I wasn’t used to inthe dry, arid environment, but Iliked the feel of it,” he said. “The

colors were a little less vibrantand more unique. It was beautifulthe way the sun caught theorange and yellows.”

Mart grew her interest in pho-tography in high school becausehe enjoyed videography.

Some of the artists came notonly to share the fruits of theirtravels and adventures, butalso to make a statement andhonor others.

Elaine Zhae, a School of Artsand Sciences first-year student,paid her respects to the recentBoston Marathon explosions.She only showed two pictures —one of the Boston skyline at nightand another of a cozy fireplacewith the fire raging inside.

Megan Baylies, a School ofArts and Sciences junior, hadseveral pictures of the AsburyPark boardwalk right afterHurricane Sandy.

The pictures depict the aban-doned and disheveled beachand boardwalk at sunset. Theywere not meant to be sorrowfulbut instead inspire hope — asshown in a photo that says,“We’ll be back” written in thedust of the rubble.

Accompanying the gallery ofphotographs was a projectionscreen displaying time-lapse pho-tography by Mart. He shot thesame multiple pictures of thesame scene at various times inthe day. The end product is theprogression of the sky from sun-set to nighttime, displaying manyweather patterns.

“This goes back to my back-ground in film,” Mart said. “Ireally like the colors of the sun-set, so I focus on that, too.”

The photo exhibit was the per-fect setting to display the artist’swork, Kolluri said, especially forsome of them who have neverdone anything like this before.

“We just want to show andrespect the people’s pieces in agallery setting,” she said.

“I wrote this book because Ifeel fairly evangelical about onemajor thing, which is that masscollective action — organizing,people moving together in unisonis the one way out of the giantmess that Americans find them-selves in,” she said.

The mess, McAlevey said, is themixture of America’s horrible econ-omy and broken political system.

She said although collectiveaction is the most important solu-tion to these problems, peoplemust be educated and given themeans to take action.

“There is a lot of talk about howwe can lawyer our way out of theproblem, we can sue our way out ofthe problem, and I don’t really buyany of it,” she said.

McAlevey said the way to givethese people the necessary tools tostart making changes is to start byorganizing people who are notaware of the problems or how to fixthem. Then, mobilize the peoplewho are already aware of the seri-ous problems that need to be fixed.

“Organizing, to me, is primarilyabout engaging people who are notyet involved in collective action. …Yet mobilizing is when we are talk-ing about people who are alreadywith us — with the forces of good,”she said.

Workers need to come togetherand discuss what they want andneed from their employers,McAlevey said, and then need to betaught how to bargain effectively.

She said even though highparticipation is important forpeople in a political system thatsupports corporate interests, the

U.S. government has stifled thelabor movements.

“For our democracy to work, itis predicated on high engage-ment, which we don’t have rightnow,” she said.

She said since the 1930s, agroup of big corporate employerssystematically and diabolicallystifled collective labor actionfrom unions.

“Just a decade later, and then wehad something called the Taft-Hartley Act, which threw a hugewrench in what had been theNational Labor Relations Act. Itsays that it is essentially illegal tohave solidarity in America,”McAlevey said.

McAlevey said politicians likeJoseph McCarthy in the 1950slabeled every leader or member ofa union as a communist. This beganthe witch-hunt against progressivelabor organizers, but the creation ofThe Business Round Table deliv-ered the final blow.

“Then of course, in 1973, theBusiness Round Table formed.This became the most sophisticat-ed strategic attack on labor unionsthat we know of. … It essentiallybanned, or rather made itextremely difficult, to organizestrikes,” she said.

McAlevey stressed that thebasis for the decline of unions wasnot lack of workers’ interest in bar-gaining collectively and changingtheir circumstances, but rather thegovernmental bans and regulationsset because of corporate interests.

“There has been a ferocious,malicious, non-ending attack byvery well-funded, smart, pro-busi-ness forces on America’s unions,”she said.

McAlevey said in her experi-ences revitalizing unions she foundmany significantly weakened to thepoint where members had no hopeto gain any kind of benefits fromtheir employers.

She focused her talk on herexperience mobilizing thousandsof workers in the ServiceEmployees International Union inLas Vegas, Nev.

McAlevey said her first meetingwith members only saw seven in

attendance, but by the end of hertime there, she was helping medi-ate negotiation meetings betweenemployers and over 300 workers.

“They wanted some dignity, andthey wanted some respect, andthey wanted to get their bosses offtheir backs,” she said.

Although the workers wereoriginally reluctant to ask for anychanges because of their alreadyrigid and binding contracts, shesaid, they began to believe changewas possible as more workersjoined in their collective action.

Devin James, a School of Artsand Sciences first-year student, saidshe was most shocked byMcAlevey’s discussion when shespoke of physically ripping up con-tracts in front of union members toprove a point.

“I think it was so inspiring thatshe was so passionate about tellingthose workers ‘The contract is notthe union. You are the union.’,”James said. “When she talkedabout ripping up the contracts rightin front of them, that was such agreat way to make her point.”

Renee Walker, director ofcommunications for the Schoolof Management and LaborRelations, said she thoughtMcAlevey was the perfect speak-er to bring to the Universitybecause of her message of actionand mobilization.

“Jane McAlevey has this catch-phrase,” she said. “She always says‘Don’t mourn — mobilize.’ Becauseshe has been a part of these move-ments for so long, she can really tellthem what they need to do toorganize and make changes.”

McAlevey said despite thedecline and weakening ofAmerica’s labor unions, collectiveaction is still the solution to bringfair rights to American workers andto the major problems facing thenation today.

“The book tells the story ofworkers who were previously with-out any sense of power stoodtogether, organized together,formed unions and took charge oftheir lives and made some bigchanges at a time when people saidthey couldn’t do it,” she said.

Apple, Inc. approved the application for iTunesMonday, and it’s being sold for 99 cents — whichmight be its biggest setback. Really?

We understand the app must have taken time tocreate, but come on. We’re all on a college budgethere. That 99 cents could go towards a McChicken.And if the app is so concerned with the wellbeingof the college population, it should be totally acces-

sible to everyone.Either way, we hope

that the application hassome type of emer-gency feature forretrieving a contactduring drunk mode ifnecessary — for exam-ple, having your room-mate’s number readilyavailable in a dire situa-tion, even if it’s includ-ed in your locked

contacts list.You could easily just turn the app of f, but you

know, some might be too inebriated to do that.Also, that’s another concern — For those of us

that would still be functional enough, or deter-mined enough to turn of f the app, wouldn’t theeasy on/off option totally undermine the wholepoint of keeping a drunk-lock on the phone? Maybe it should have levels for the type of drunkyou are.

Regardless, this is one of the most useful appswe’ve heard of to date. We’ll take it.

T he time has come. A couple of studentsover at the University of Virginia havefinally done it. They’ve designed an iPhone

app that does exactly what we’ve always fantasizedtechnology would be able to accomplish — protectus from drunk-dialing.

Our partying woes and the main revenue forTextsFromLastNight.com are now over.

The application is called “Drunk Mode.” Itworks like a lockdown for your phone. It hidesyour contacts for asmany hours as you’dlike — up to 12 — tostop you from sendingthose nostalgic texts toan ex or making aslurred phone call toyour boss.

It basically attemptsto eliminate the poten-tial for drama from anotherwise good time.

Our only question isthis: How did it take so long for this to happen?

Not only does the application temporarily deleteselected contacts for the time limit you set, butalso sets of f reminders at whatever time intervalsyou choose.

The reminders are meant to keep you fromdoing stupid things, like drunk driving or gettinginto fights or whatever kind of dumb behavior youmight otherwise engage in.

They also are an awesome touch to an alreadydirely needed application. Finally, our phones canreplace that best friend that has to constantly

“The reminders are an awesome touch toan already direly needed application.

For us Liberal Artists, we claim that welearn to think critically. Applying my criticalthinking skills, what does that even mean?Problem-solving skills? Fillers in the vocabu-lary of higher education to try and pinpointexactly what college does for its students.It’s a Sisyphean task if I’ve ever seen one.History majors can claim to be culturallysensitive, but I’ve never seen a class thatteaches someone to be culturally insensitive.

Let’s try quantitative skills: technicalmajors teach you calculus and statistics.Only problem is that, when you start work-ing, computers do all the computation foryou, so understanding the concepts ofmath end up being more important thanthe actual computation.

Many of the individual classes you take inyour major will not translate to your first job,or possibly your entire life. I have a friendwho is a chemical engineer and he took aclass that taught him how to design powerplants. He makes dog-food. This isn‘t to belit-tle that power plant engineering class, butvery few chemical engineers, or rather

every major, will directly transfer what theylearn in the classroom to the workplace.

So what is a college major? It’s a prepara-tion for grad school in that subject. Whenyou study philosophy or engineering, mostof your coursework is extremely theoretical.Also, the sequence of courses is designed toprepare you to attend graduate school inwhatever subject. What’s grad school?Besides misery, it is preparation for you tobecome a professional scholar. If we reverse-engineer this thought process, then majorsare just preparation to think like your pro-fessor does.

That’s it. That’s what most of your majoris, thinking like your professor. Your majorteaches you a paradigm to look at the world,through the eyes of an economist, historian,philosopher, engineer or whatever. So whatmakes your engineering degree necessaryto being an engineer? The engineers’approach to breaking down a problem. Aphilosophy major approaches problemsfrom the perspective of the abstract and the-oretical interactions of ideas. A history major

contextualizes the problem into a narrativeand looks to explain why events occurredthe way they did. Our majors just prepare usto look at the world from a certain lens,which in general has very little to do with theresponsibilities of your first job.

So for underclassmen, majors sort ofmatter. If you are dedicated to being anaccountant or an engineer, then by all meansmajor in accounting or engineering. If yourcareer aspirations are more ambiguous,then major in whatever you want. If you’re allabout poetry, then major in poetry. Major inwhat you are passionate about. I knowyou’re worried about jobs, but your workexperience trumps everything when youapply for them. So what is a college major?Hopefully, it’s whatever is interesting to you,because you only go to college once, mightas well major in philosophy.

W hat is a college major? I mean itin the most obnoxious andphilosophical way — what is a

college major? We know it is an arrange-ment of college classes in a certain subjectarea, but what is the real difference betweenhistory and math? Not as big a difference asyou would think.

Let’s start with the basic idea: A collegemajor teaches you a skill set that makes youappealing to an employer. Not false, but it’stoo simplistic a model. It’s difficult to explainwhat exactly a college major teaches you.The fallback defense is that my engineeringmajor teaches me to engineer things yet,most engineers haven’t engineered a singlething until their senior year — and thosecreations don’t always work.

T he unfortunate truth is that this pastMonday, the country was faced witha terrorist attack on the last stretch of

the famous Boston Marathon. The raceoccurs every year on Patriots’ Day, and islabeled “Marathon Monday,” a time and placeno American, runner or not, would expect forsuch an overwhelming event to occur.

The bombs, which killed three spectators,were detonated and placed in such an awryfashion one would only assume them to be aterrorist attack. For those of you who saw thefootage and photographs of the bombings,you understand the level of catastrophe thisevent caused. When you saw the picture of theman in a wheelchair missing his legs, you mayhave even questioned the media’s respect forthe victims who were experiencing that suf-fering. Although the declaration of this act as aform of terrorism is a self-evident truth formost individuals, many have pointed out ittook too long for President Obama to do so.

Along with the labeling of an act as terror-istic, the sentiment surrounding it can be mis-leading. For some here in America, they arecomforted by jumping to the conclusion thatthe individuals involved with the terroristattack are from a particular race or religion,

Keep eye on truth as bombing details unravelCOMMENTARYMATTHEW BOYER

I chanced across a letter published in TheDaily Targum yesterday that praised theYOLO culture that I saw reflected in

rowdy Twitter tweets, smart phone videos andsilly GIFs. While the letter certainly tried toinspire some great feelings about the adven-tures of youth, the fearlessness of adventureand the vast opportunity that is college, itstopped my thought process when the authordemanded if anyone knew what a college was.

Call me the devil’s advocate. Say that I’m agrumpy old fart who feels the pressures of thereal world. You can even call me a nerd. I don’tcare. But that YOLO spirit you’re riding highon? That’s not what college is about. In fact,you don’t even know what YOLO means.

Believe me: If you ever wanted to go crazy

YOLO does not define collegeCOMMENTARY

say an Arab Muslim. The same people whomake this conclusion seem to assume theattackers must be foreign-born and thereforenot American.

In the same respect, there are political talk-ing heads such as Chris Matthews declaringthat if a domestic terrorist committed the act, itmust have been far right-wingers who “hatebig government.” These conclusions, whichare assumed prior to a suspect being appre-hended, should be just as unacceptable as theattacks themselves. The United States ofAmerica has already gone through the processof targeting groups collectively — Germans,the Japanese and Native Americans — just forour “security.” Such assumptions not only per-petuate illogical stereotypes, but also reflectthe poor quality of media and education in ourcountry — some would say the potential causeof such horrific attacks in the first place.

Americans must question the ability ofthese individuals to carry out terrorism. Asnoted by many officials and media outlets, theMassachusetts National Guard, the BostonPolice Department and paramedics were allalready on scene at the race. On top of thephysical presence of law enforcement, citiessuch as Boston are rife with cameras and 21stcentury technology, for this perpetual warwe’re fighting — the War on Terror. As agen-cies such as the National SecurityAdministration, who monitor such cameras,

undermine our civil liberties without concernand cost us billions of dollars, all in the name of“security,” how can the American people trustthese officials?

Putting politics aside, these kinds of eventsseem to be all too familiar to people. As attacksat home and abroad become consistent, shoot-ing sprees and random acts of violence esca-late and suicide persists among the public, noone can afford to sit back and spectate. Look atthe poisoned letters intended for the Presidentand a Senator this week. Don’t forget the sus-picious packages delivered to Congress or theincrease in threats on university campusessuch as Penn State and Temple Universities,though they are probably unrelated. The sumof all these despicable acts indicates a societalissue greater than that of federal and state poli-cies — It highlights the increase of a moraldeficiency. But why is it that such acts of vio-lence persist?

As this story continues to develop, some inthe media and public are already debating theconspiracies behind the Boston bombings.From the allegations of the mysterious man onthe roof of a nearby building to the presence ofbomb-sniffing dogs and the police depart-ment’s announcement that “it was just a train-ing exercise” prior to the bombings, it is nowonder that these theories persist in the blo-gosphere. To put a wrench in the all of the alle-gations, a Muslim Brotherhood representative

out of Egypt published a letter questioning thetrue forces behind most acts of terror and warabroad. Regardless of the factuality of thenotions that seem to emerge in the aftermathof every tragedy, their existence reflects mypoint — Society fears the possibility of tyrannyand lacks trust in he government. Though Ilove Reddit, all of the trolls that exist theredon’t always do the people justice.

What is clear in light of this violence is that,we as Americans, as faithful people and mostimportantly as humans, must stick together forthe greater good. It is not the collective groupsof a particular creed or of a race that committhese terrorist attacks, it is individual mindsthat follow through with them. We must keepthis truth at the forefront of our debate, asspeculation of those in custody for the bomb-ings rises. It is the overwhelming existence ofunbiased education and individual mentalawareness that prevent the existence of suchbehavior in any society. As a country, we needto appreciate the individual more, while alsohaving concern for our fellow Americans andfriends across the globe. This is not the timefor a country of free people to let their libertybe undermined.

and start to unravel that messy, confusing andcomplicated puzzle of figuring out who youreally are as an individual, these are the great-est four (or more) years of your life in which todo it, and I promise you the activity will contin-ue well beyond graduation day. Many of youhave only just started to experience the free-dom of not having to answer to your parents,even though you’re texting through that 101class on their dime.

But contrary to popular belief, when youput on that cap and gown and smile for the pho-tos, that piece of paper in your hand meansabsolutely nothing. That’s right, nothing. Sure,it’s a milestone, and one to be celebrated — butit’s not the diploma that is going to matter.

What matters is whether or not you usedthese last few years to tap into the unprece-dented amount of human knowledge thatstands in front of you every day and noticeswhen you’re falling asleep. What matters isn’t

going to be those days that you skipped classor stuck it to the man in the street while he pep-per sprayed you. What matters is going to bethose days at the bar, one, two, five years afterthe fact, when you’ve reunited with the friendsyou made by sharing notes, getting involved orsharing space with in the dorms. What mattersisn’t the diploma hanging on the wall but thesense of pride you feel whenever your eyesmeander over to it, knowing it was one of manyloyal compasses.

You only live once — yes, that’s true. Butare you really living, or are you just riding outyour existence one high after the next, just tofall right back into the neatly packed groovesyou hate when you’re done? You don’t have torebel against the cops to be institutionalizedinto submission. Not stepping forward toshake the world and implement change — realchange, not the stuff in your pockets — is whatmakes you into the same institutionalized,

boring old sods you are trying so hard toprotest right now. Rebellion is good, and yes,we need more of it ... but rebellion challenges,and topples preexisting negative connotationsand expectations. Getting crazy, drunk androwdy at Delafest? Here’s a hint: You’re doingit wrong.

The letter asked “What’s a college?” It is thechance for you to question your direction inthe long road of life ahead of you and decide ifyou’re going to make your own path or quietlysubmit to the one already traveled. YOLO,friends, but there are billions who will be fillingyour tiny little space here when you’re gone.

So next time you tweet #YOLO, stopembarrassing yourself and make sure you’vegot it right.

WOMEN’S GOLF

Seniors push forfinal shot at title

BY AARON FARRARCORRESPONDENT

With only one tournamentremaining in their careers withthe Rutgers women’s golf team,seniors Karen Cash and BrittanyWeddell hope it will be a memo-rable one as the duo has playedfour years without a title.

The Scarlet Knights travelback to Florida to end the yearApril 21 to 23, and their only goalis to play their best golf of theentire season.

They hope it will be sufficientenough to clinch the coveted BigEast Championship.

“It would be a great honor,”Cash said of winning the tourna-ment. “The couple of years that Ihave been here we trained veryhard and we have been trainingfor this tournament. This is whatwe look up to. We want to be oneof the best in the Big East.”

Weddell and Cash make theirfinal trip south to compete forsomething they have longed for.Neither has collected an individ-ual or team title during theircareers, although it has beensomething they have preparedfor since their arrival to Rutgers.

The Knights have played twotournaments in Florida earlier thisspring and have become accus-tomed to the conditions. Theyembrace the excitement thatcomes with competing in the mostanticipated event of the season.

“We feel really comfortablegoing down there,” Weddell saidof traveling back to Florida. “Weare excited to go back down there.The course is beautiful, and we’reused to playing in the weather

“I was feeling comfortablethroughout the game,“ Brey said.“Then all the sudden I let up twobig hits in a row, so it was a littlenerve racking but I stayed calmand deliver.

Hill was unavailable for com-ment after the game. But associ-ate head coach Joe Litterio said itwas important for Brey to lastthe three and a third innings tosave Corsi and the rest of thebullpen for the Knights’ weekendseries against Pittsburgh.

“We used a lot of pitchers[Tuesday against Lafayette],”Litterio said. ”Heading into thisweekend with Pitt, you don’twant to use up your pen, soHowie went out there andshowed he had command andshowed he was getting outs, sowe ran with him.”

Senior designated hitterCharlie Law put Rutgers up top, 6-5, with an RBI double in the bot-tom of the fifth to bring Zavala in.The Knights plated across twomore runs before Monmouthsecured the final out of the inning.

After Monmouth went up, 5-3,with a RBI single and double,

CONTINUED FROM BACK Rutgers bounced right back inthe bottom of the fourth with tworuns of its own.

Junior center fielder BrianO’Grady delivered his first RBIand second hit of the game inthe bottom of the second with asingle to the right side of theinfield to score freshman thirdbaseman Matt Tietz for a 3-0 lead.

Monmouth starter AnthonyCiavarella needed only six pitch-es for his first two outs in the bot-tom of the first. But an O’Gradysingle and three subsequentwalks gave the Knights a 1-0 lead.

Rutgers gets a three-game roadseries against third-placePittsburgh and will do so with awell-rested bullpen thanks to Brey.

“It was very important,“ Breysaid. “My last outing I didn’t doso well, so its’ important for thecoaches to get confidence in meand for me to try and pitch wellfor the team.”

conditions. It is going to be a greatexperience for everyone and weare going to perform really well.”

Weddell has been a catalyst forthe Knights this spring and hasplayed arguably some of her bestgolf. She has walked off the coursewith several top-10 finishes as herand Cash have been the leaders ofa roster of five freshmen.

The two have been vocal andinstrumental in the develop-ment of their teammates andthey believe everythingabsorbed this season will pres-ent itself when the team com-petes for the final time.

Now as Weddell and Cashrealize the end of their careers isnearing, they admit that steppingonto the course Sunday will havea different feeling.

“It is very bittersweet,”Weddell said. “I am going toenjoy it and want to play my bestgolf. I really want to performwell. The practice round is whenwe really get a feel for the courseand make a plan for every hole. Iwant to do my best for the team.”

The seniors are credited fortheir leadership and serving asvaluable examples to a blos-soming group. They haveassisted in providing the rook-ies with a glimpse of what is tocome if they continue to strivefor improvement.

“The freshmen have learned alot,” said head coach MauraBallard. “They have learnedthrough not only playing, theyhave learned from watching theirsenior leaders play. It was a hugeyear of growth for us and it is set-ting us up nicely for success inthe future.”

“It was really a developingyear for us. We all were learningwith her, she was learning withus,” Turkot said. “Last year wewere considered a young team.This year we’re still considered ayoung team, but with our oneyear of experience, I think itbrings a lot of talent to the table.We have a lot more growth.”

Turkot has shown improve-ment on the field as she hasalready surpassed her seasontotal of caused turnovers fromlast season.

Brand-Sias values Turkot’slearning style and experiencefrom being with the team for

three seasons.“She’s a great

reader back thereand definitely addsto just that corethat has all thate x p e r i e n c e , ”Brand-Sias said.“She’s a veryapproachable play-er and reallyresponds to every-thing she’s askedto do.”

Turkot remains most comfort-able playing alongside her team-mates. She said the defendershave reached their success thisseason because of their work as asingle unit.

“It’s funny if you look at all ofus, it’s not as if we’re the bestindividual defenders,” she said.“All of us bring out the best ineach other. I don’t think that ifyou put us up one-on-one againstthe best attackers in the nation,we would hold up that well. Thefact that we can play with eachother and make our best attrib-utes come out is what makes usthe best.”

WOMEN’S LACROSSE

BY IAN ERHARDCORRESPONDENT

When the Rutgers women’slacrosse team allowed only six goalsin Saturday’s win against Villanova,it proved to be on pace with thedefensive standard it set for itself.

The Scarlet Knights allow, onaverage, just more than six-and-a-half goals per game, which sitsonly behind Stony Brook for thebest in the nation.

“Whenever we go into a Big Eastgame, the goal is typically [to allow]seven goals,” said junior defenderErin Turkot. “We think if we canhold a team to seven [goals], we’regoing to win. [I]don’t care if wescore eight, don’tcare if we score 15,but we want to holdsomeone to sevenknowing that wecan get the [win]out of it.”

With 13 causedturnovers, 11groundballs andtwo draw controlwins this season,Turkot’s numbers are in line withmost of the experienced defenderson the team.

Head coach Laura Brand-Siassaid the defenders are mainlyconsistent because they havebought into the system of playingwithin a team-oriented defense.

“It’s more a matter of peopledoing what they’re supposed to doin the grand scheme of a teamdefense, so [Turkot’s] just good atdoing her job,” Brand-Sias said.

With last year serving as anadjustment period with the addi-tion of assistant coach Lisa StaedtOjea, Turkot said the defense hasgrown with experience.

“The fact that we ...make our best

attributes come outis what makes us the best.”

WOMEN’S LACROSSE NO. 8 GEORGETOWN - RUTGERS, FRIDAY, 3 P.M.

Knights host pair of ranked foes in home action minute of regulation but fellshort, 13-12.

The loss marked the Hoyas’first defeat in conference playand third overall this season.They previously strung togetherfour consecutive wins, includinga 14-11 victory at Loyola on April6. It stands as the Greyhounds’only Big East loss of the season.

Loyola’s (7-6, 3-1) toughschedule has made it difficult tostay above .500. With its first fivegames played against top-25teams, the Greyhounds startedwith a 2-3 record. But morerecent wins against teams suchas the Irish last Friday andLouisville have helped themmaintain their spot in the top 15of the national rankings.

Rutgers has been able to com-pete with every ranked team ithas faced thus far. An early non-conference win against then-No.20 Penn came in the middle of asix-game winning streak thatbegan in late February.

Big East play has been lesskind to the Knights. They surren-dered a second-period lead andfell to No. 5 Syracuse on April 7as it could not garner enoughoffense to complete the upset bidMarch 22 against the Irish.

The Knights scored at least sixgoals in both games, despite put-ting nearly 20 shots on goal in each.

Rutgers enters with somemomentum after earning its firstBig East victory Saturdayagainst Villanova.

Six dif ferent players tallied apoint in the game, while theKnights’ second-ranked scoring

defense allowed six goals on 19shots. Brand-Sias this weekendexpects to see more of thesame.

“I think we can have verywell-rounded scoring against thetype of defense Georgetownplays,” she said. “Everyone justneeds to be ready to want theball on their stick.”

The Hoyas failed to complete acomeback Sunday against No. 6Notre Dame.

Brand-Sias said. “We’re not con-cerned about the amount ofopportunities that we get,because we get plenty. It’s aboutus finishing.”

The Hoyas and Greyhoundsact as the final two opportunitiesfor Rutgers to defeat anotherranked opponent during the reg-ular season.

A player to watch for theKnights this weekend is juniormidfielder Katrina Martinelli.

Martinelli was named to theBig East Honor Roll onMonday for her performanceagainst the Wildcats. Shescored twice and recorded anassist in her 10th multi-goalgame of the season.

For Georgetown, midfielderSophia Thomas paced the teamwith three goals in each of its lasttwo games. She was named to theBig East Honor Roll on April 8after Georgetown’s 13-7 victoryagainst Marquette and is the fifthHoya to receive a Big East honorthis season.

Midfielder Marlee Paton leadsthe Greyhounds are led offen-sively with the 37 points. AttackHannah Schmidt follows her with29 points.

The Rutgers tennis teamwas named the No. 6 seed forthe Big East Championshipsafter the seedings yesterdaywere announced. The ScarletKnights will open the tourna-ment against No. 11 seeded St. John’s.

“We were pretty happy withgetting the sixth seed andthought it was fair,” said fresh-man Gina Li. “It has set us upwith some good matches headinginto the tournament.”

Rutgers (13-7, 7-3) enters thismatch having won three of its lastfour matches.

The Knights are not the onlyteam entering this match withmomentum. St. John’s (10-9, 4-3)have also won three straightmatches and two of which werein conference play.

It is dif ficult for the teams inthe tournament to prepare fortheir specific opponentsbecause of the short amount oftime between the seedingreleases and the star t of the tournament.

BY GREG JOHNSONCORRESPONDENT

For more than 10 inningsyesterday, the Rutgers softballteam was in danger of having anonconference team sweep it at home for the first time this season.

The Scarlet Knights offenseresponded in the bottom of thefourth inning, slugging fourruns as Rutgers eventually sal-vaged the second game of a

Reliever aids split of double header against Seawolves“One run is never enough to

win a game. You always needmore,” Williams said. “We justrealized that we had to scoremore runs because [StonyBrook] can hit … and so that’swhat we did.”

Rutgers scored two more inthe bottom of the sixth on a dou-ble down the left field line bysophomore outfielder ChandlerHoward to seal the game.

“The second game we werefocused and made some adjust-ments from the first game,”said junior first basemanAlexis Durando.

In Game 1, sophomore left-hander Alyssa Landrith tossed acomplete game for the eighthtime this season, striking out fiveand walking one batter.

Landrith (13-11) made onlythree mistakes, but they were costly.

In the second and seventhinnings, respectively, she servedup three solo homeruns thatproved too much for the Knightsto overcome. The last two camewith the score tied, 1-1, in thefinal frame.

“I think she’s just floating herriseball,” Nelson said. “We needto work on that and come up witha different strategy.”

The Knights offense couldscore only once off Stony Brookrighthander Christine Lucido(10-1), who also went the dis-tance on the mound.

Nelson thinks the team mayhave been pressing in the midstof a three-game losing streak.

“I think in the first gamethey were all trying too hard,because we had seven hits but

April 4 and will have a goodidea of what kind of team theywill be facing in their openinground match.

“Considering that we haveplayed St. John’s before, I thinkthat we are ready to play them,”Li said. “We have to come out andplay well in doubles, which willbe the key.”

Rutgers will most likely seesimilar individual opponentsfrom its match two weeks ago.It is important the team finds away to learn from those match-es and use its strengths to gainanother victor y against St. John’s.

“We are probably all playingthe same people, so we just needto focus on the same strategythat won us the match before.”Li said.

It is impor tant for theKnights to take the approachone match at a time during thistournament if they want tohave success.

doubleheader with StonyBrook, 7-1.

Freshman righthanderDresden Maddox entered forsenior righthander AbbeyHouston on the mound with tworunners on in the top fourth.

Much like last Thursdayagainst Princeton, Maddoxproved a stopper, halting StonyBrook’s (23-18) threat toemphatically shift the momen-tum of a 1-1 game. Maddox (8-4) struck out five and allowed

no hits in two and a thirdinnings of relief.

“She has good downwardmovement and good upwardmovement,” said head coach JayNelson. “She has control of thestrike zone. She’s tough.”

Junior outfielder LorenWilliams paced the Knights (24-19, 6-8) offense, going 3-for-4 withan RBI single, a run and two stolenbases. She said becoming aggres-sive at the plate was imperative ifRutgers was to avoid a sweep.

we couldn’t string any togeth-er,” Nelson said. “Whenever wegot runners in scoring position,[Lucido] would get ahead withborderline strikes, and thenwe’d swing at pitches in thedirt. We were actually gettingourselves out.

In the bottom of the seventh,Rutgers threatened to rally, col-lecting two singles. With two onand one out, Nelson sent infreshman utility infielderStephanie Huang to pinch run atsecond base.

The move triggered an iron-ic result. During sophomoreoutfielder Chandler Howard’sfly out to left, Huang was dou-bled up at second to end the frame.

Huang redeemed herself inthe second game, when she hit 2-for-2 with an RBI, a run scoredand a stolen base.

Though Rutgers had hopedfor a sweep, Nelson said steal-ing the second game ends theday on a higher note than if itwon the first instead. Withanother nonconference gametoday at home against Iona (8-28), the Knights still have achance to put together a nicerun before they return to BigEast action.

“It’s good to come away with a7-1 win to get us ready for[today],” Nelson said. “We’ll seeif we can get on a little win streakbefore we get Syracuse.”

Jordan dealcould comeafter meeting

BY JOSH BAKANSPORTS EDITOR

Los Angeles Lakers assistant coach EddieJordan will meet with University officialstoday, including President Robert L. Barchi,for formal contract negotiations, according toThe Newark Star-Ledger.

Both sources who reached out to theLedger requested anonymity because negoti-ations have not yet begun.

An agreement-in-principle could beannounced today, which could put Jordan’sintroductory press conference tomorrow.

Jordan arrived in New Jersey yesterdayafternoon from Los Angeles. He was alreadyin the state Saturday and Sunday for prelimi-nary talks with Rutgers officials.

As the Rutgers men’s basketball teamtransitions to the Big Ten, its new headcoach will likely need to be paid morethan Rutgers has ever paid for that coaching position.

The Big Ten’s lowest-paid coach is PennState’s Patrick Chambers, who makes$900,000 annually. AlthoughNorthwestern, a private school, has notrevealed details about its recent deal withhead coach Chris Collins.

Minnesota head coach Richard Pitinosigned a six-year, $1.2 million deal, which hesigned with one year of head coaching expe-rience. That could be a benchmark inJordan’s negotiations.

Jordan, meanwhile, has head coachedthree NBA teams — the WashingtonWizards, the Philadelphia 76ers and as aninterim with the Sacramento Kings.

Rutgers head women’s basketball coachC. Vivian Stringer is New Jersey’s highest-paid state employee, earning more than $1million per year. Former Rutgers head foot-ball coach Greg Schiano used to exceed her.

Jordan is handling negotiations withoutan agent, but he will consult with a contractlawyer to review any possible deal before hesigns it.

The University has negotiated without anathletic director so far, but it has hiredParker Executive Search of Atlanta to findPernetti’s replacement.

Jordan played for the Scarlet Knights from1973-1977, helping the team to its only FinalFour appearance in 1976. He also played forSacramento, Washington and Philadelphia. SEE ROOKIE ON PAGE 16

“How do I put this?“ said senior rightfield-er Steve Zavala. “He showed some fortitude.Freshman coming in during a big spot, onerun lead the whole way out, he showed a lotof fortitude.”

In a game that lasted more than three hours, both team combined for 28 hits.

But it was Brey (1-0) who inflicted thegame’s most impressive performance,though it did not come without suspense forthe Middletown, N.J., native.

With one out, Brey let up back-to-back hits toMonmouth (21-14), putting runners on first andsecond to put the tying run in scoring position.

With the Scarlet Knights’ regular closer in thebullpen, head coach Fred Hill elected to keepsenior reliever Rob Corsi out in favor of Brey.

Brey responded with two consecutive outs,including a popup by Monmouth third base-man Chris Perett to freshman third basemanMatt Tietz in foul territory to end the game.
