NOT IN THEIR NAMES Crowd estimates ranged from 200 to 500 to 1,000, but it was unquestionable that hundreds crowded onto Voorhees Mall to protest the fifth anniversary of the Iraq War. Standing under gray skies that threatened to rain down upon them, students, faculty, veterans, activists, and other supporters railed against the continuing occupation of Iraq by the U.S. military. Several media outlets drew attention to Rutgers, which has a rich tradition of student activism. The protest sign pictured above memorializes Army 2nd Lieutenant Seth Dvorin, a 2002 Rutgers graduate killed February 2004 when an improvised explosive device detonated in Iskandariyah, Iraq. His mother, Sue Niederer, addresses the rally in the background. Photos by Nick Romanenko. Photo Gallery
