Please contact your

with this action and it will effect your vote come election time. Below you

Legislator by District
McGreevey said the 177-year-old
Rutgers name would be incorporated into one of the schools, but that's not
good enough for Mike Fasano.
An attorney and 1975 graduate of Rutgers-Camden Law School who has donated
to his alma mater and the Rutgers athletics department, Fasano said he will
never again open his wallet if the plan is implemented.
"I won't donate another penny to any branch of Rutgers University ever
again because the name Rutgers means something," said Fasano, who is
also one of the directors of rutgersfootball.com, an Internet site devoted
to Rutgers sports.

Gov. James E. McGreevey
yesterday embraced a proposal to redraw the state's higher-education map,
contending it will raise New Jersey's profile in health-care education, training
and research.
The proposal calls for replacing Rutgers, the University of Medicine and Dentistry
of New Jersey and the New Jersey Institute of Technology with a single system
that features separate and competing universities in Newark, New Brunswick
and Camden.
The system would remove administrative "walls" that now hamper collaborations
between doctors, research scientists and scholars from varied disciplines,
said Dr. P. Roy Vagelos, chairman of the Commission on Health Science, Education
and Training, which formally released its long-awaited report yesterday.

Syracuse is in uncharted
waters, and the Good Ship Orange is taking on enough water to end North Jersey's
drought as it sinks toward its first losing season under 12th-year coach Paul
Pasqualoni.
Saturday's 17-16 loss at Temple had to be a numbing setback for the Orangemen
(1-5), and late-season contests against No. 3 Virginia Tech and No. 1 Miami
should all but guarantee their first losing season since 1986.
Syracuse had not lost to Temple since 1983 and booted away its opportunity
to force overtime when Collin Barber's extra-point attempt in the final minute
clanged off the left upright.

Ken Dorsey is a Heisman Trophy candidate. His sub-par performance in another
big game, this time against Florida State in the 28-27 victory, might hurt
his chances of winning the coveted award, but barring an absolute collapse,
he'll be one of the five players invited to New York for the ceremony.
Still, if the balloting was held tomorrow, Dorsey might not merit an invitation
to the Big East Player of the Year awards ceremony in Providence, R.I. (If
there were such a thing, of course). Halfway through the season, these five

When Notre Dame's Tyrone
Willingham and Michigan State's Bobby Williams shook hands on a football field
last month in East Lansing, Mich., it was a rare moment: The two of them,
old friends, represented one-half of the African-American head coaches among
the 117 major college programs in the nation.
