3 men arrested in connection to bombings Gender-neutral housing prop. in Univ. Council

By Kyle Plantz Daily Free Press Staff

Three men were arrested and charged Wednesday for impeding the process of the Boston Marathon bombings investigation.

Azamat Tazhayakov and Dias Kadyrbayev, both 19 and residents of New Bedford, were charged for willfully conspiring with each other in offense against the U.S. and for destroying and concealing evidence by plotting to dispose of a laptop and a backpack containing fireworks belonging to bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, said Magistrate Marianne Bowler in court Wednesday.

The third person, Robel Phillipos, 19, was charged with knowingly and willingly making false statements to federal officials during the investigation, Bowler said.

Kadyrbayev and Tazhayakov entered the United States from Kazakhstan on student visas to attend the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth. Phillipos is a resident of Cambridge and all three suspects met Tsarnaev during school, according to a criminal complaint filed at the U.S. District Court Wednesday.

Tsarnaev is being held at a prison hospital where he is recovering from wounds he received in a gun battle after killing Massachusetts Institute of Technology Police Officer Sean Collier and leading police in a pursuit chase into Watertown where he was later found in a boat. Dzhokhar’s older brother, Tamerlan Tsarnaev, was killed in the shootout.

tures of the Tsarnaev brothers and the three suspects eventually figured out that Dzhokhar was one of the bombers after seeing news reports, according to the complaint.

“Kadyrbayev then texted Tsarnaev and told him that he looked like the suspect on television. Tsarnaev’s return texts contained ‘LOL’ and other things Kadyrbayev interpreted as jokes such as ‘you better not text me’ and ‘come to my room and take whatever you want,’” according to the affidavit.

The three then went to his dormitory room that night and found that Tsarnaev had left.

They watched some movies and then discov-

ered Tsarnaev’s backpack full of empty fireworks, which scared Tazhayakov who began to believe that Tsarnaev was part of the bombings, according to court documents.

The trio collectively decided to throw the backpack and fireworks into the trash because they did not want Tsarnaev to get into trouble.

Kadyrbayev put the backpack into a large trash bag and threw it into a dumpster near their apartment, according to the affidavit.

Investigators recovered the backpack April 26 in a New Bedford landfill. It contained the

Tsarnaev’s new lawyer known for high-profile, death penalty cases

By Emily Overholt Daily Free Press Staff

Unabomber Ted Kaczynski, Altlanta Olympics bomber Eric Rudolph and Boston Marathon bomber Dhzhokhar Tsarnaev now have more in common than their alleged criminal acts. They all have or had acclaimed defense attorney Judy Clarke behind their table.

U.S. Magistrate Judge Marianne Bowler appointed Clarke to aid Miriam Conrad, head federal defender on the case, and the defense team Monday.

“It’s very rare to have a death penalty case brought in Massachussets,” said Stanley Fisher, a Boston University School of Law professor specializing in criminal law. “The state doesn’t have the death penalty, the federal statutes do … I don’t know the last time the federal government sought the death penalty in a case in Massachusetts.”

Since capital defense is a specialty in law, Fisher said the federal defense office most likely brought in Clarke due to her experience.

Clarke, whose practice is based in San Diego where there is a death penalty, primarily takes death penalty cases. Her most notable clients, most recently Tucson shooter Jared Loughner, who injured former Arizona Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, all received life sentences, despite capital punishment being sought for their cases.

Fisher said a major part of what a death penalty lawyer does is investigate the defendant’s past to both find exculpatory evidence around which to build a defense and to find inculpatory evidence the prosecution may use against him or her.

“This requires a lot of time and resources, and it’s something that capital defense lawyers are used to and trained and equipped to do,” he said.

Bowler has denied a request by Conrad to appoint a second death penalty lawyer to the defense, Washington and Lee University professor David Bruck.

Tsarnaev is specifically charged with one count of using and conspiring to use a weapon

of mass destruction and one count of malicious destruction of property by means of an explosive device resulting in death. The bomb he is charged with using during the Boston Marathon April 15 killed three and injured more than 200 others.

The devices were placed near the metal barriers separating the runners from the spectators, and each explosion killed, maimed, burned or wounded many people in addition to damaging public property.

Tsarnaev is being held at a prison hospital, recovering from wounds he received in a gun battle after killing Massachusetts Institute of Technology Police Officer Sean Collier and leading police in a chase into Watertown where he was later found in a boat. Dzhokhar’s older brother, Tamerlan Tsarnaev, also suspected in the bombing case, was killed in the shootout.

Wednesday, three more suspects were arrested for charges related to the marathon bombings. The three received their own lawyers and are facing federal charges of up to five years in prison.

After a semester of deliberations, Dean of Students Kenneth Elmore has submitted an official gender-neutral housing proposal to the University Council on behalf of a subcommittee tasked with addressing the topic.

If the University Council votes to approve the proposal and BU President Robert Brown gives a final signature, gender-neutral options can be implemented in the fall 2013 semester, marking the culmination of several years of effort.

“I actually like to call it ‘gender-neutral roommate selection’ because I think that’s more the crux of the matter,” Elmore said. “We’re not doing anything specific with housing, it’s more or less an option for people. They’re able to select their roommates without regard as to what the gender of that roommate is.”

Under the proposal, students in certain residences will no longer be required to live with roommates of the same gender identity. However, traditionally freshmen residences, such as Warren Towers, West Campus and The Towers, residences that have single-gender community bathrooms and specialty residences are excluded.

“We let students decide who their roommate is without regard to that roommate’s gender or the original student’s gender,” Elmore said.

If the proposal is approved, in the fall 2013 semester students will be able to direct swap regardless of gender identity, thereby creating their own gender-neutral space if they so desire, so long as the residence space is not in one of those excluded from the policy.

“Say you and I are rooming together and I leave,” Elmore said. “You’ve got that vacancy there. You get to make a selection about who your roommate is. That’s how you start to create it in the system.”

Then, during the spring 2014 housing selection cycle, a certain number of bed spaces will be set aside to ensure a minimum amount of gender-neutral availability, but students will be able to determine their roommates regardless of gender in appropriate residences, he said.

“Once we go with starting to let people pull others in, we’re open,” Elmore said. “… It just continues, that’s really the gist of it. We start in the fall with gender-neutral roommate selection.”

Elmore said if students are living in a suite

SBA provides federal funding for businesses impacted by Marathon bombings

By Bram Peterson Daily Free Press Staff

KIERA BLESSING/DAILY FREE PRESS STAFF

Small businesses affected by the Boston Marathon bombing, such as Whiskey’s Steakhouse pictured above, can apply for federal aid to recover lost revenue.

Boston Mayor Thomas Menino announced Tuesday that funding opportunities from the Small Business Administration would be made available to businesses affected by the Boston Marathon bombings starting May 1.

“Our goal was to find alternative funding options for businesses to help them through these challenges, and I am proud that we have achieved that,” Menino said in a press release Tuesday.

The SBA is a federal government agency that provides assistance to businesses and homeowners following many types of disruptions that leave victims in difficult financial situations.

“These businesses that had been closed for several days lost quite a bit of money,” said Carol Chastang, an SBA spokeswoman, “These loans will go a long way toward helping them recoup their losses, stay in business and continue operating the way they were op-

erating before the bombing occurred.”

Mass. Gov. Deval Patrick first reached out to the SBA April 26 after a preliminary survey had been conducted to see whether the SBA should be involved.

“We worked with the city to touch base with the businesses that seemed highly impacted, and all we needed to qualify was to have three businesses with severe impact,” said Peter Judge, a spokesman for the Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency.

“There could be quite a number of businesses within that area that might avail themselves for loans.”

Patrick sent a letter to the SBA April 26 requesting its assistance for businesses that suffered from the closing of Boylston Street during the crime scene investigation.

“The closure of this vibrant area of downtown Boston has caused significant business disruption and negative economic impact to many businesses in the area,” Patrick said in

FINAL WORD

A letter from the Editor

MICHELLE JAY/DAILY FREE PRESS STAFF

Editor-in-Chief Emily Overholt with just another issue of The Daily Free Press.

I started worrying about the content of my final word the day I was elected Editor-in-Chief. I knew my staff was going to turn out good work, but I was concerned we wouldn’t be remarkable. What if

my semester ended as just another dusty blue book in the back of the office, saved for posterity but never pulled from the piles?

But then two bombs went off at the finish line of the Boston Mara-

thon.

For me — and I wasn’t the only one — working was the only thing really keeping the fear and emotions in check. In the week we were reporting on the bombings and the manhunt we all grew up a little.

And every night I went home exhausted and rattled but so incredibly proud of the friends I work with four nights a week.

I many ways, I feel guilty. The FreeP got some national attention thanks to our marathon coverage.

For one week, no press officer scoffed at us when we called for credentials. We were taking the college media world by storm, but it was at the expense of three deaths and hundreds of injuries. I’ve spoken to a number of professionals in the wake of the bombings and they remind me that some professional journalists go years in their career without covering a tragedy like the one my staff of mostly sophomores tackled three weeks ago.

And when I start to feel guilty, I remember I’m not trained to help injured people, to help people deal with tragedy. I’m trained to tell their stories. And I hope we did that this semester, not just with the bombings, but also with everything this semester from Tony Barksdale

I’ve been on staff since my second week of college. I have worked with three different editorial boards, each with their own positives and negatives.

Campus & City Column

GIRL, 20 She’s a Leo, all right

On July 27, 1992, I came into this world (okay, into St. Elizabeth’s Hospital in Brighton, if you call that the world) slightly premature under a constellation that resembled a lion, right in between my lunar and rising signs, Cancer and Virgo. I was destined to embody an astrological sign known for its audacity, creativity, honesty and amaz- SYDNEY SHEA ing hair, one that rules over all other zodiacs — Leo. I remember in my early childhood I read a description of people who fell into this category — those with the birthday in the range of July 23 until Aug. 22. It described Leos as born leaders, a trait I have always embodied, whether on center stage dancing in a multi-layered tutu, or speaking in front of a group of writers or editors at The Daily Free Press.

My leadership trait, however, has gotten me into trouble on multiple occasions, especially when accompanied with my blatant sense of honesty. People under me have in the past regarded me as a demanding princess who must get everything she wants immediately.

I’m also overly dramatic. I lost a Barbie shoe when I was young (all right, last week) and cried for about 24 hours, and it was one of the worst days of my life. There was once another girl I knew named Sydney, and I made her change her name because there can only be one. Last summer when my hair straightener croaked, I was so despondent that I barely had it in me to go party that night lest someone should see me in such a state of depravity.

And don’t even get me started on my birthday: It’s normally a three-day explosion of colorful balloons, cupcakes and cannonballing corks. Let’s just say that last year upon arrival at my first birthday destination, I stumbled up to the host podium at a swanky D.C. restaurant in my heels to confirm dinner reservations only to discover that this man was in fact the valet parking attendant and could not seat us.

Leos can be the most warm, loving creatures of all the zodiacs, too.

I won’t catalogue every act of kindness I’ve done in my two decades, but I’m generous with my time and resources to anyone who asks for them. If you’re friends with a Leo and can tolerate occasional dramatic antics, they’re keepers.

Astrological signs reveal a lot about someone’s personality, but I don’t believe that reading horoscopes on a day-to-day basis is exceptionally useful. I’ve been able to tell numerous people their signs without even knowing their birthdays based on physical features and personalities, which makes for entertaining cocktail-hour conversation.

But to those well versed in astrology, I guess I come off as an apparent Leo. I once said my birth date in front of a group of people, to which one replied, “She’s a Leo, all right!” followed up by an uproar of knowing laughter from everyone else. I can’t say I didn’t appreciate the attention.

BU trying to remain positive in tough year Campaign for BU moves past halfway point

By Michael Torruella Daily Free Press Staff

without pay might have a large impact on the recession and the U.S. economy.

“I’ve actually been in touch with an economist and he seems to think that it’s a major cause of the recession, where employers have really the upper hand because employees that have any jobs or an internship are so worried about the economy that they are willing to put up with a lot more,” he said. “It’s exacerbating the recession because there is so much free labor. Therefore, those who really deserve paying jobs are not getting them.”

Juno Turner, an attorney representing employees in all areas of employment law and an Outten and Golden LLP associate, said the rise in unpaid labor is detrimental in that it represents a class issue.

“There are people who can, for example, move to New York and work a job at night full-time to sup-

Despite its original timeframe of five years, The Campaign for Boston University has already passed its halfway mark less than one year in, as BU fundraising officers have worked together to raise more than $500 million of the project’s total $1 billion goal.

In addition to the monetary goals, the student body’s pledge to donate one million hours of community service has also progressed significantly, as students have donated about 300,000 hours of community service thus far, said College of Communication junior Dexter McCoy, who was Student Government president when the Campaign was launched.

“We’re estimating that there are about 50,000 to 100,000 hours still yet to be documented from things such Alternative Spring Break and other students’ projects over the course of this year,” he said. “In terms of us still having about four and a half years left in this campaign, we are very confident in reaching our mark of one million hours.”

On Sept. 21, BU officials announced the Campaign’s goal is to raise $1 billion over five years to be allocated to different services around campus. The fundraiser’s endpoint is set for 2017.

In conjunction with the Campaign, SG officials announced it would donate one million hours of community service, which the administration would value at minimum hourly wage of $8 to incorporate the service into the fundraising.

“I, of course, would have hoped that more people would start documenting their hours more and making a habit of it,” McCoy said. “That just means that this coming year, we will have to do more in terms of promoting the million-hours program and letting people know how to document their hours and where.”

McCoy said students should continue to perform community service during the summer.

BU Vice President of Development and Alumni Relations Scott Nichols said the funds raised will be primarily allocated to providing students with financial aid and to building construction and renovation.

“The biggest pieces are financial aid, professorships, buildings, research programs and operating support,” Nichols said. “Every school [college within BU] has its own subset of goals, but these are found in almost all of the individual goals.”

Fundraising is being conducted in many ways, Nichols said. He said various subsets of the BU community, ranging from academic deans to students, have been tapped as a resource to raise money toward the $1 billion goal. “[BU] President [Robert Brown], trustees, deans, development officers and many others have spent the past years building good relations with alumni, parents and friends,” Nichols said. “Now that we are in the Campaign, we are asking everyone to support the Campaign in whatever way they can, be it large or small contributions.”

Nichols said the amount of money raised thus far has been more than university officials ever imagined.

“This is Boston University’s first comprehensive fundraising cam-

A list of the Boston University students who have died since April 2012.

By Chris Lisinski Daily Free Press Staff

At an age when many people find dealing with a single death to be confusing and emotionally draining, many Boston University students seem to be feeling the effects of a difficult year full of multiple deaths and sadness.

Twelve undergraduate and graduate students have died since April 2012, a figure that university officials said is unprecedented.

“We did lose a lot of students this year through a variety of different ways,” said Dean of Students Kenneth Elmore. “It was a lot. There were a lot of students this year. If you stretch a little more maybe to the last two years, it’s been a lot for us to all struggle with emotionally … I think it takes its toll on all of us, that sadness that you encounter quite a bit.”

While members of the community cannot help but notice the multiple deaths, each is its own tragedy, particularly for those close to the victims, said BU spokesman Colin Riley.

“For young people, obviously you’re talking about how many people there are,” he said. “… It’s devastating to the family and incomprehensible to friends and anyone to see a young a person pass away at a very young age.”

In April 2012, a Boston University School of Medicine graduate student died of an apparent overdose. Less than two weeks later, Graduate School of Management student Kangala Seshadri Rao was shot and killed in Allston.

In May 2012, College of Engineering junior Austin Brashears, School of Management junior Daniela Lekhno and College of Arts and Sciences sophomore Roch Jauberty were killed in a fatal car accident in New Zealand.

Archaeology doctoral student Chad DiGregorio died in Turkey in July after falling while working at a site.

Toward the end of the fall 2012 semester, CAS sophomore Chungwei “Victor” Yang and College of Communication first-year graduate student Chris Weigl died in separate bike accidents.

In January, CAS student Sammy Habib died at the age of 20 due to complications from a heart condition. While he was not at BU at the time, he attended for two full semesters before health issues arose, and he intended to return and graduate in 2014.

ENG freshman Tony Barksdale II died in March after being medically transported function at a home in Allston.

Most recently, first-year Gradu-

ate School of Arts and Sciences student Lingzi Lu was killed in the April 15 Boston Marathon bombings, and CAS senior Binland Lee died in a fire in Allston Sunday morning.

“For young people, there may be people who have never experienced such a loss of someone they knew or sat in class with,” Riley said. “… It’s a very common thing at that age not really to understand mortality. Everyone understands that you live your life, and to have it end at a young age is really tragic and shocking.”

Several BU students said they have noticed the frequency of the tragedies and the emotional toll they have had.

“It is all very sad,” said ENG freshman David Crowell. “But it definitely makes you appreciate the people you have in your life.”

CAS sophomore Kelsey Dielman said the deaths should not reflect any negativity on the part of the BU community, as people have shown support for one another.

“What has happened this year has been very tragic and unfortunate,” she said. “It has brought the community together in a sad kind of way. I hope it doesn’t affect how many people come next year and I

Unpaid internships bad for economy, experts say

By Margaret Waterman Daily Free Press Staff

Although employment lawsuits stemming from the unfair treatment of unpaid interns are on the rise, Boston University students said the opportunities derived from internship experiences could outweigh the negative aspects.

“You get the experience with the company,” said College of General Studies sophomore Madisen Sanders. “That [experience] benefits what you want to do — you can get that experience to boost up your resume ... It depends on your financial situation whether you think it’s fair or not.”

Not all students find unpaid internships to live up to that standard, however, something which Maurice Pianko said inspired him to create Intern Justice, a website dedicated to encouraging attorneys to take on fair employment cases.

“That’s really what I am trying

to do — to get these employers to realize that they are required to pay interns minimum wage, at least, and if they do not, there is an exemption if it is a glorified internship, in which they have to make sure the internships match up with the six factor test set up by the U.S. Department of Labor,” Pianko said.

When unpaid, an internship must provide interns with similar training given in academia, must benefit the intern, must not displace regular employees, must derive no immediate advantage from the intern’s actions and responsibilities, must not guarantee the intern a job and it must clearly be known the intern is not to be paid, according to a U.S. Department of Labor Wage and Hour Division fact sheet.

Pianko said if the internship in question does not fulfill all six of these criteria, it can be deemed illegal. In addition to employers breaking the law, he said hiring interns

Gender-neutral bathrooms not included in housing proposal GNH: From Page 1

or a room with multiple occupants, every resident must agree to the situation so as to avoid conflict.

He said gender-neutral bathrooms are not included in the proposal, but the way it outlined housing options will address certain concerns.

“Within a suite, there’s one bathroom,” he said. “In an apartment or something like that, there’s maybe one or two, depending on where you live on campus. We’re almost saying you’ve got to work that out yourself.

The bathrooms are internal enough that the small number of people living in that space should be able to

figure it out.”

Spring 2013 Student Government President Aditya Rudra, who represented the student voice on the committee that composed the gender-neutral housing proposal, said he is pleased to see something tangible submitted to the University Council.

“We’re very happy with the housing proposal,” he said. “… We absolutely support it. We think it’s a fantastic use of university resources that definitely allows students to live more comfortably, regardless of their gender identities.”

Brown tasked the Committee on Student Life and Policies with re-

searching gender-neutral housing options and drafting a recommendation for or against it after the issue was moved to the committee in December.

Officials announced gender-neutral housing was halted as a priority in December, prompting student protests in Brown’s office.

“I think the protest was a great kick in the pants that got them to move their horses and realize that regardless of whether they consider it a priority for them, the students have a very clear idea of how important gender-neutral housing is to them,” Rudra said.

Rudra said students played an integral role in the gender-neutral housing intiative, and he is pleased the student voice was considered on the committee.

“There’s no other force pushing this issue forward besides the student voice,” he said.

Despite feeling satisfaction that the University Council is considering the proposal, Rudra said it is important for the administration to remain open.

“One thing I would urge administration is to be as open about the process as it can be,” he said. “… So we’d like for everything to be clear

and transparent as to what the next steps are.”

Elmore said a final decision by the University Council will likely be known before the start of the fall 2013 semester.

“I would think that we have a mechanism where we would get a thumbs up or thumbs down on this certainly by the end of the summer. “… The University Council votes on it, then the president looks at it and says ‘looks good, let’s do it’ ... I’m optimistic, but I’m only one vote, and all I’m merely doing is saying ‘here’s the proposal on the table.’”

fireworks, a homework assignment sheet from a class Tsarnaev was enrolled in and a jar of Vaseline, the complaint stated.

In his first three interviews with law enforcement, Phillipos denied going to Tsarnaev’s room on April 18, but then confessed to the visit during his fourth interrogation. He told federal officials that he discussed with the other two what they were going to do with the backpack, but fell asleep and when he woke, the backpack was gone, the court documents stated.

Tazhayakov and Kadyrbayev could face a maximum of five years in prison and a $250,000 fine, while Phillipos faces a maximum sentence of eight years and a $250,000 fine, said Assistant U.S. Attorney Stephanie Siegmann at the court hearing.

All three suspects waived their right to a bail hearing. Tazhayakov and Kadyrbayev will appear in

court again May 14 and Phillipos’s hearing is scheduled for Monday.

They were placed in the custody of U.S. Marshals after the prosecutors argued that they presented a serious risk of flight.

Tazhayakov felt horrible and was shocked to hear that he knew someone who was involved with the bombings, said Harlan Protass, Tazhayakov’s defense attorney.

“He looks forward to the truth coming out in this case,” he said.

“He considers it an honor to be able to study in the United States, and he feels for the people of Boston who have suffered.”

Robert Stahl, Kadyrbayev’s defense attorney, said Kadyrbayev denied any wrongdoing.

“Dias Kadyrbayev absolutely denies the charges,” he said. “He did not know that this individual was involved in the bombing. His first inkling came much later. We will be looking forward to proving our case in court.”

The SBA responded quickly to Patrick’s request, announcing the same day that they would make themselves available to affected Boston businesses the following week.

“It [the response from the SBA] was quicker than normal. Usually it’s a handful of days before they [the SBA] turn it around,” Judge said. “They were able to respond and show up in a very short manner.”

The SBA set up in the Boston Public Library Wednesday, and will be there for two weeks to allow businesses to come and discuss their options for applying for a low interest SBA loan.

“These types of loans for this specific event is to help with shortterm cash flow issues. A lot of these companies were closed for two

weeks, and particularly restaurants and those types of business lost all of their inventory, if you will, and may not have the cash flow to replace this [lost business],” Judge said.

Loans for private businesses are available from the SBA for affected companies at 4-percent interest rate and can be applied for by the affected companies up to nine months after their first offering, in case a business that at first forgoes the option later finds it was impacted more severely than first expected.

Businesses that were affected by the bombings have experienced significant economic damage from the bombings, and the subsequent loss of business.

“The impact was pretty severe,” said Phil Salmon, a manager of Bromer Booksellers, located on Boylston Street, “I was able to keep up with what we had to do so it wasn’t all piled up when we got back. I wasn’t able to transact anything new though, there was new

business happening, this was all stuff that had already been done the week before.”

Rebecca Caloggero, general manager at Whiskey’s Steakhouse on Boylston, said the loss of business has been hard on her employees.

“It was a financial burden on the company as well as the staff,” she said. “The company was closed down for nine days, with revenue just not coming in. And with the staff, some people work paycheck to paycheck and it was very difficult in making rent and paying their bills.”

Ed Borash, president of Sir Speedy Printing and Marketing Services, located on Boylston Street, said his company needs financial assistance from the government.

“We have applied for a federal disaster loan,” he said. “The federal government stepped in and declared it a federal disaster, and if we get the loan, it’s payable over a long period of time and it gives us a chance to catch up.”

Bring Back The Dudes: Titus Andronicus and The So So Glos at the Middle East

T

itus Andronicus and The So So Glos brought their unique brands of Brooklyn DIY music to the Middle East Club in Cambridge Monday.

As Titus Andronicus leader Patrick Stickles told me, their friendship with the So So Glos has become one the defining elements of the Brooklyn DIY scene.

“The very first show on the Brooklyn scene at a place called Don Pedro’s, I met three of the So So Glos and we played our first show together later that month.

And since then it’s just been love,” Stickles said. “It’s been a bromance.”

As close as they are, in many ways the So So Glos and Titus Andronicus are remarkably different. Titus Andronicus is known for their seven-minute, existential rock ‘n’ roll epics, while the So So Glos are more known for short, bucolic, punk-rock explosions.

Ultimately, if there’s anything their new “Bring Back the Dudes” tour proves, it’s that, like peanut butter and pickle sandwiches, sometimes unlikely combinations are the best kind.

Following a quick set from Boston locals Hands and Knees, Boston Red Sox organ player and friend of the band Josh Kantor came out and introduced the “starting lineup” of the So So Glos. It became apparent almost immediately that this was going to be a show to remember.

They started with “Wrecking Ball” and then proceeded to run

John Ambrosio Features Staff

through most of the songs off their newest album, Blowout, including “Diss Town,” “House of Glass,” “Speakeasy,” and the title track “Blowout.”

Over the course of their hourlong set, the audience slowly fell in love with the still relatively provincial So So Glos, which speaks to their ability to play a crowd.

Through a series of pleas to the audience that they, “come down to our stupid level” and lead singer Alex Levine’s appeals to the “underdogs” in the crowd, the audience, which had previously been comprised of obstinate hipsters, devolved into a motley group of ecstatic po-goers — just as the So So Glos intended.

This remarkable shift reached a fever pitch just in time for the band to explode into their threeminute hit single, “Son of an American.”

Amid a frenzy of stage diving and demands for “Malt liquor, malt ice cream,” it was clear that these Brooklyn boys had won the crowd over.

Equally as refreshing as their set itself was the fact that afterward, fans were able to chat with Zach Staggers and Ryan Levine while they made custom t-shirts with stencils and spray paint at their merchandise table. In stark contrast, the members of Titus Andronicus remained relatively aloof until they took the stage around 11 p.m.

The anticipation was palpable as Titus Andronicus appeared —

and with Stickles’s traditional “Hi, we’re Titus Andronicus from Glen Rock, New Jersey,” the second half of the show had begun.

Opening with “A Pot in Which to Piss,” it became clear that Titus Andronicus would not have to work nearly as hard as their fellow Brooklynites to whip this crowd into frenzy.

Stickles and crew proceeded to rip through a number of deep cuts, including The Airing of Grievances’ “Titus Andronicus,” “Upon Viewing Brueghel’s ‘Landscape With the Fall of Icarus,’” and a particularly intense “My Time Outside the Womb.”

Their first set included covers of AC/DC’s “You Shook Me All Night Long” and the Modern Lovers’ Boston classic, “Roadrunner.”

As always, the set was fantastic, well constructed, and demon-

strated Stickles’s uncanny ability to be frighteningly emotional while still appealing to some universal aspect of his audience’s humanity.

Arguably the high point of their show was the drawn out version of “To Old Friends and New,” during which Stickles seemed at any point ready to completely succumb to a nervous breakdown. Never disappointing, Stickles persevered and ended their first set with a medley of the incredible epic “A More Perfect Union” and the blistering, solovehicle “… And Ever.”

Following the end of their set, Stickles invited the So So Glos back on stage to join him in forming the “Shea Stadium All Stars,” so named for the Brooklyn DIY venue that Titus Andronicus frequents and the So So Glos and their producer Adam Reich run.

The group then proceeded to launch into a series of covers that collectively represented the bands’ shared values.

The group explored their common musical roots with Joan Jett & The Blackhearts’ “I Love Rock ’N Roll” and Rancid’s “Roots Radical,” and the So So Glos took turns trading verses, demonstrating their considerable skills as rappers, and demonstrating hometown pride with an amazing cover of the Beastie Boy’s “No Sleep Till Brooklyn.”

The show ended with Billy Bragg’s “To Have and To Have Not,” which perfectly reflected the underdog spirit that both bands espouse.

After a long night, the Shea Stadium All Stars left the stage and Stickles could be heard yelling, “the dudes are back!” and I couldn’t agree more.

From Asia, With Cookies Often referred to as “the Oscars of the food world,” the James Beard Awards celebrate professionals in the culinary arts. This year, three Bostonbased chefs received nominations for the ‘Best Chef: Northeast’ award.

This is the last in a three-part series profiling the chefs.

Joanne Chang may seem quiet and composed in an Asian-Taiwanese fashion, but her cooking tells a different story. Indeed, Chang is the creative mind behind Flour Bakery + Café and restaurant Myers+Chang, two of Boston’s most celebrated and loved foodie spots. Nominated this year for the James Beard award “Best Chef: Northeast,” Chang says she is astounded.

“I was nominated last year and the year prior for Pastry Chef which was enough of a shock … This year to be nominated for Best Chef was completely unexpected,” she said. “While I am the chef/owner of Myers+Chang, and my capacity in the restaurant is of a traditional chef, my main training is in pastry so I identify more as a pastry chef than a chef. So I was blown away!”

Chang is a celebrated pastry and savory chef, but she started out as a Harvard College graduate. With an Applied Mathematics and Econom-

ics degree in hand, she was set to pursue a career as a management consultant. Until she rediscovered her love and passion for cooking and baking.

“I spent a couple years during college making cookies for the dormitory grill, and then, when I graduated from school, I spent two years in business and at the end of the second year, decided to try something else,” Chang said. “I’ve always loved cooking and so I thought, ‘I’ll get a job in a restaurant!’”

Chang said she liked her one-year stint in the restaurant world so much that she decided to stay, abandoning her previous business career. She started in Boston at Biba as a gardemanger cook, where she learned that she preferred doing desserts more than savory food.

“I really enjoyed the bakery setting and what I was learning, so I went to a restaurant where I did pastries,” Chang said.

She then worked at Bentonwood Bakery in Newton, where she received her basic baking training.

When it closed, Chang acted as a pastry chef at Rialto, where she met her future husband Christopher Myers.

Chang then moved to New York in 1997 to help open Payard Patisserie and Bistro. While working there,

Noëmie Carrant Features Staff she began thinking about opening her own little place. She returned to Boston, cooked as a pastry chef for Mistral, and in 2000, opened Flour Bakery + Café in Boston’s South End, with the motto “Make Life Sweeter … Eat Dessert First!”

Flour blends perfectly excellent products, fresh from the oven, with a great price range. The bakery has gained so much popularity that Chang opened up three other branches in Boston’s Fort Point, Central Square, and Back Bay. “We are committed to all of our missions — not only to make great food but also to provide warm welcoming service, give back to the community, run an efficient business and make the lives of not just our guests but also ourselves better,” she said in an email. “We spend a lot of time and energy on the last one — if the staff is happy and enjoys their work, it will come through in all aspects of the bakery.”

This is indeed noticeable, not only at Flour, but also at Myers+Chang, the restaurant Chang co-owns and operates with her husband. The “funky indie diner,” as it is described on their website, opened up in 2007 in Boston’s South End. The restaurant could almost be seen as a tribute

to Chang’s childhood. Though born in Houston Texas, Chang grew up surrounded by Chinese food, with, “a lot of stir-fry, a lot of fish, a lot of tofu and a lot of vegetables.”

The differences between operating a bakery and a restaurant are vast, yet both are incredibly gratifying, Chang said.

“I truly love them both — they are both incredibly fulfilling,” Chang said. “Flour makes me proud because so many people crave our pastries and foods, and I think we have an incredible staff. I love Myers+Chang because people come in over and over again because they can’t get enough of our addictive food and the service we have is genuinely friendly and warm. I’m really proud of the teams at both.”

These culinary accomplishments have obtained Chang national recognition. Featured in many food publications, like Food & Wine and Bon Appétit, Chang has also come

out with two cooking books centered on Flour’s beloved recipes. But even while operating four bakeries and a restaurant, and with the James Beard ceremony to look forward to, Chang remains inviting and smiling, excited at the idea of competing against fellow Bostonian chefs and friends Jaime Bissonnette and Barry Maiden, and excited about her current projects.

“Our food does what I think good food should do — it makes people happy,” Chang said. “I love watching someone bite into a BLT or Mama Chang’s dumplings and moan — it’s a common occurrence! And I know many people leave Flour/ Myers+Chang planning their next visit. I can’t wait every day to get to work and eat everything we make, and I think that guests feel the same way – they can’t wait to come back.”

Chang does not seem to regret choosing the food world over the business world. We don’t either.

Tsarnaev’s golden ticket

Dzokhar Tsarnaev’s case might have just been saved. Judy Clarke agreed to join his team of defenders to prevent him from the death penalty Wednesday. Clarke is known for representing insanely high-profile cases such as the Unabomber Ted Kaczynski, and Jared Loughner, the gunman who killed six people and wounded former U.S. congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords in 2011. Regardless the circumstances of Tsarnaev’s crime, this is the first time a person tried in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts faces the death penalty since the execution of gangsters Philip Bellino and Edward Gertson in 1947. Because of Clarke and her commendable reputation, Tsarnaev may spend the rest of his life behind bars, but not lose his life in the courtroom.

Clarke’s whole shtick, her specialization, is to takes big cases such as the Boston Marathon Bombing where capital punishment is on the table. She has an amazing track record of keeping defendants from ever going to trial and scoring them plea bargains. They are often sentenced for life, but in Clarke’s eyes, this is the correct result. She may have been drawn to this case because it is so rare prosecutors consider capital punishment in Massachusetts. Because he will appear in a federal

court, officials can seek the death penalty.

The defense is gearing up heavily just over a week after prosecutors charged Tsarnaev.

Even though the team of defenders has just acquired a strong ally, lawyers are even considering adding another lawyer to the mix.

Part of the reason Clarke has taken the case could be to add to her international notoriety, but she seldom speaks to the press or actively seeks publicity.

But why are so many people trying to help Tsarnaev live?

Like any U.S. citizen put on trial, Tsarnaev deserves the best possible chance at a defense. There is so much rage against one person in this country that finding an unbiased jury could seem next to impossible, but given his situation, he does deserve his best shot. Having even what seems like the worst kind of criminal go through a fair trial also shows Americans how serious prosecutors and defenders are about upholding Constitutional provisions. There is no such thing as a truly fair trial when the defendant terrorized so many people. Clarke knows this, and based on the kinds of people she has “saved” from capital punishment, Tsarnaev might just sit in a cell and rot.

EXITMENT

Safe travels DAVID FONTANA Lauryn Gilroy and Anne Whiting: These two have been pestering me for years to write a column about them. So my last piece for the FreeP seems as good a time as any, I suppose.

But what’s so special about them?

Well, on the outside they appear to be just two normal American girls. They came from New York and Minnesota, respectively, and both ended up here, at our very own Boston University. They met freshman year — two roommates picked at random, like so many of the rest of us. They lived on a floor with a cohort of other freshman — they laughed, they loved, they ate and cried in their corner double. They faced sophomore year together, too. Then they travelled to London together, but apart. They each perused Europe, finding history — both the world’s and their own — around every corner. Then they came back this year, their final year, to a different room, but the same home.

Some new decorations and new stories but an aged, rooted love they shared for one another.

I don’t know if they believe in it, but it sure sounds a lot like fate to me.

I’ve watched them grow over the past four years, moving from each room to the next. I’ve been there through laughter and stress, anguish and celebration. And I’ve got to say, having seen them at some of their best and certainly some of their worst, I’m pretty damned proud to be their friend. Lucky — that should really be the word I use.

It seems unfair to only mention Lauryn and Anne when there have been so many people in my life over the last four years of this sweet collegiate dream. A reality I will be pondering over for lifetimes to come.

My last column sophomore year started with this quote from Pooh Bear. “You can’t stay in your corner of the forest waiting for others to come to you. You have to go to them sometimes.” It was about the importance of community in college and in life.

Many people before me have written on love stories and being courageous. I’ve written on many pieces myself. I’ve griped and groaned. I’ve laughed and you’ve probably all thought, “What the heck is this guy going on about?” But one topic that seems to never leave me, an intangible ideal that always seems to lurk behind my every word — every story, every quote, every poorly placed pun — is that

notion of being lost in an unfathomable ocean of life, left here for who knows what purpose, afloat on a dinky little boat — a ship made of friends.

Whether I met you in Roochnik’s discussion, being chased by an angry ram while I was dressed up as a physicist — angry homeowner, drunk, cop, king — singing to a girl named Molly in a dimly-lit pub, in an old firehouse, the dark depths of the PERD Office chasing birds around Big Tree, on a floor that was 12 stories up and gave BU its “B,” you’ve been more than just a face or friend to me. All of you, whether you like it or not — whether you realize it or not — have made an impression on me.

For better or for worse, you have made me who I am, you have given me every word I’ve used — every hilarious story, every embarrassing quote, every perfectly executed pun.

Change: No one really likes it. Even the people that fight to change bad things into good, often forgot how quickly good things can go bad. But I prefer my cup to be half full — be it with Guinness, mint tea or a mysterious soda concoction. Yet as I drink, that glass becomes a quarter full, an eighth full and then a last-sip full. And then you’re cup is simply full of nothing. But really, that’s the best part. Then you get to order more or try something new. Sip on an old favorite or something you’ve never even heard of — something you can’t even pronounce. Something you can’t even imagine.

Even if you think you’re standing still, that nothings changing — will change or has changed already — just remember this: The world, this blue spec of a rock in a sea of darkness and light, is always turning, it’s always spinning around itself, around the sun, around the universe. You’re always moving. Your ship full of friends is always sailing, even if you don’t know where.

I’m not sure when I’ll see you again, or how long we’ll have to talk about the “used-tos” and the “news,” but even if your name isn’t Luaryn or Anne, I know that we’ll cross paths. Maybe in pictures or print but I suspect much more. So I’d like to wish you all the best of luck.

And safe travels.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR: The Boston University Right to Life

Society seems to compel young women to choose a career over motherhood. A 2008 study showed 1 in 5 women will have an abortion by the age of 25, and 45 percent of total abortions occur in women between the ages of 18 and 24.

This seems to be less of a choice and more of an expectation. We at BU Right to Life would like to ensure that all female students are aware of the resources available to them.

On April 18, 2013, Boston University Right to Life hosted a Pregnancy Resource Forum, designed to raise awareness for pregnancy resources available on campus and potential reforms. Feminists for Life of America President, Serrin Foster, talked at the forum to work with six panelists and students to learn more about the needs of pregnant mothers and fathers on our campus.

Female college students faced with an unplanned pregnancy are usually offered only one option – abortion. Few campuses, including Boston University, offer enough assistance – housing, child care, insurance, emotional support, abortion alternatives – to pregnant students in need. The common question, “How are you going to finish your education by having this child?” addresses an important concern, but why are these seen as two incompatible options?

In an effort to change this situation, Boston

University Right to Life wants to help alleviate the economic, practical, and social coercion that pregnant students feel in crisis situations. Women need basic options such as housing, childcare and pregnancy coverage in their student insurance plans. Men need to understand that they are equally responsible for the child they conceived. We do not see these as insurmountable obstacles as a campus or as a society.

We have taken a step in the right direction this year by bringing together minds from many different departments within the university, such as Student Health Services, the Educational Resource Center, the University Service Center and pregnant students on campus.

BU Right to Life has compiled a comprehensive packet detailing all resources for a woman who chooses to carry her pregnancy to term. Hopefully this will empower women on campus to know they have options other than abortion. It will be available online next year, and we hope that it will be distributed to all Residential Assistants.

For those who claim to be for ‘choice,’ it is necessary to back up words with actions. No woman should feel coerced into having an abortion. That is no choice at all.

Survey shows unpaid internships yield jobs 37 percent of time Internships: From Page 4

port themselves while living there and working during the day for free, but that’s a very grueling experience,” Turner said. “For a lot of people, it’s just not possible to live in a large city where many of these types of corporations are having unpaid internships.”

Turner said being unable to accept an unpaid internship greatly diminishes one’s chances of finding a job after graduation.

“More and more employers are looking to

their former interns for potential future employees, and having internships on your resume is sort of considered the prerequisite to employment in a lot of industries,” she said.

Pianko said the argument can be made that unpaid internships are not as beneficial for those who take them as one might believe.

Unpaid internships turn into job opportunities about 37 percent of the time, according to a July 2012 National Association of Colleges and Employers survey. Those with paid internship experience on their resume only

Alicia Panetta, a College of Arts and Sciences senior, said donations should not come from students or students’ parents.

“BU should not ask parents at all because they already are paying $200,000 to send their children here,” Panetta said. “They [BU fundraising officials] could also host more events and conferences to raise money for BU instead of just reaching out for donations.”

She said the majority of the Campaign’s funds should be from major corporations and from BU alumni looking to give back to their alma mater.

“They should get most of their money from alumni, and corporations are pretty good places to get money, too,” she said. “Corporations

would be a good idea because it would help the school a lot more and make connections for students post-graduation.”

Sargent College of Health and Rehabilitation Sciences junior Christopher Gioffre also said BU officials and those affiliated with the Campaign should try to focus on reaching out to alumni.

“BU is raising the money the right way, since they have already raised so much,” Gioffre said.

COM sophomore Hayley Lukaczyk said the school should focus on renovating buildings on campus.

“The money should be going to Mugar [Memorial Library],” Lukaczyk said. “Of all of our buildings Mugar needs to be highlighted as the center of student life. If you look at other buildings around campus and then at Mugar, it is embarrassing. The library is very outdated, you think it would be one of the first buildings to get updated.”

Riley said he praises the way students have come together in response to such overwhelming sadness.

“Having worked here more than 20 years, I’ve seen how resilient young people are, how the counseling services help people, how community supports people grieving and mourning and how people take strength from that and learn from that and are able to move on with their lives,” he said. “It’s really remarkable for something so devastating and so challenging.”

In particular, Riley said the communityorganized memorials and vigils have been a source of strength and warmth for those suffering.

“I couldn’t be more impressed by how devoted these students are to their friends and classmates that they’ve lost and how difficult it is to speak up on their behalf,” he said.

Elmore said BU’s various counseling services have put in extra time and effort to help the healing process, and he stressed the importance of communication during difficult times.

“I think we shouldn’t underestimate how important it is for people to have conversations with each other, he said. “… But I found, and I think a lot of people found ‘I just need somebody to talk to about this. I need to try and make meaning of it.’ and a way that you do that is through conversation.”

have a 1 percent increased likelihood of finding a job after graduation than those without any internship experience at all.

For those without any experience, the chance of finding a job in one’s field immediately after finishing school is about 36 percent.

On the contrary, Painko said when a student is lucky enough to obtain a paid internship position, that student has a 60 percent chance of that turning into a job post-graduation.

School of Hospitality Administration junior Caitlin Toomey, who has had two unpaid internships, said the company she works for tends to hire its unpaid interns after they graduate.

“It’s hard to get an actual job from them,” she said. “A lot of the people they hire from are interns, so it’s worth it. You do your duty so you actually get looked at for a real position.”

Terriers facing struggling Huskies squad SOFtBall: From Page 12

3-12 America East), it will be up to Schuppert and freshman pitcher Lauren Hynes to once again take control in the circle.

Hynes continues to improve as the season goes on, allowing no runs in the first game last Saturday and bringing her ERA down to a season low of 3.85.

“I would assume even both of them will get some time [Thursday],” Gleason said.

Leading BU’s offense this past week was junior center fielder Jayme Mask, whose stellar play earned her an America East Player of the Week title for the second time this season.

Mask went 9-for-17 with six stolen bases on seven attempts. Those six steals put her within two grabs of the program’s individual record of 37 in a single season.

Mask has led BU in batting average and on-base percentage all season, and this weekend’s success her numbers to a .399 batting average

and a .456 on-base percentage.

Mask has been a characteristically vocal and motivating leader for the Terriers at the top of the lineup, Gleason said.

“She’s just embodied what we’ve wanted from our team all year and she’s gone out and done that,” she said.

After seeing more playing time this past weekend than she has for most of the season, junior first baseman Chelsea Kehr marked her territory within the Terrier offense, bringing her batting average up to .340 and her OBP to .389.

The Huskies have won six consecutive home games despite dropping four of their last six. In its last game, UConn defeated BU rival Boston College 6-4, a victory that earned number-one pitcher Kiki Saveriano her 15th victory of the season.

“Us scoring first, us playing our game right from the beginning and almost not worrying about what UConn does, but what we do [is key],” Gleason said.

Saveriano leads the Huskies with a 2.78 ERA and has started 28 games this season. Her victory against BC (13-34) Tuesday was her 19th complete game of the season.

Senior Marissa Guches has been the power behind UConn’s offense all season. She leads the Huskies with a .386 batting average and is second only to classmate Kim Silva with a .621 slugging percentage.

Silva maintains a .633 slugging percentage.

After their struggles against UConn a month ago and failure to complete a comeback, the Terriers are more determined than ever to come away from Thursday’s game with a victory, giving them momentum before their last conference series of the season against Stony Brook University.

“It’s about how we take the field,” Gleason said. “About what we’re doing and not worrying about what the other team’s doing, and just know that we have to get on base, drive in those runs, play good defense and pitch well.”

Silfin: When most college sports seasons end, college baseball plays on SilFiN: From Page 12

In addition to more than thirty games that a team may play in a season, baseball continues into the summer with the Cape Cod Baseball League and other summer leagues. From the beginning of June to the middle of August, baseball is the only college sport being played.

While the Cape Cod League is made up of the best players from the regular college baseball season, it provides a very different view of the sport. The more re-

laxed environment allows fans to enjoy baseball more than they can enjoy any other sport.

During any regular season, it is easy to get caught up in wins and losses. For sports such as football, basketball and hockey, there is so much riding on the regular season that it is hard to take a step back and simply enjoy the sport itself. College baseball fans have a chance to go all out rooting for their team to win during the regular season, and then can follow summer leagues however they

BU hopes success against ranked opponents persists Sunday noon lacrOSSe: From Page 12

and senior midfielder Kristen Mogavero.

The Terriers have struggled on the road this year, as they have a lackluster 2-6 record away from Nickerson Field.

The last time the Terriers faced off against the Blue Devils was March 10, 2010, when then-No. 5/6 Duke defeated then-No. 7/9 BU by a score of 10-6. The Terriers held the Blue Devils to just two second-half goals in the matchup.

Despite the Blue Devils’ high ranking, the Terriers have had previous success against ranked teams this season, as they defeated No. 12/14 University of Mas-

sachusetts 9-8 Feb. 27 and No. 15 Ohio State University by a score of 16-11 March 16.

For Robertshaw, the biggest key to a Terrier victory Sunday lies in the team giving its biggest effort in its final match of the season. “[The biggest key is] going out and putting everything out on the field,” Robertshaw said. “It’s our last game of the season, it’s the last game that Danielle Etrasco and Kristen Mogavero are going to play for BU, and the last game that all of our players are going to play with those two.

“So if we can put it all out there and play fearless … I think we can have a great game.”

want to.

The Cape Cod league brings fans closer to baseball than they can come to any other sport.

Teams play on high school fields, so it is common to walk by a field and have no idea some of the best players used that field the night before.

The home field for the Chatham Anglers is right next to a playground — one that I went to with my family for years before realizing the field I loved to run around was once home to Mike

Lowell, David DeJesus, Evan Longoria and countless other Major Leaguer Baseball stars.

It is easy to think college sports can only be enjoyed if they are on TV all the time, but college baseball — and the Cape Cod League in particular — can benefit from being under the radar. My favorite part of the league is that it manages to showcase stars without the fanfare or commercialization TV broadcasts usually bring.

College baseball rivals can become teammates over the summer.

The power hitters who make college fields look like Little League fields are challenged when their metal bats are replaced by maple or ash. The potential monotony of a longer season is gone because the teams and players have to adjust for their own sake in order to prove they really are the best of the best.

College sports may seem to end as classes and final exams wrap up, but the best sport of them all goes deep into the summer.

Lacrosse prepares for No. 7 Duke team Softball looks to continue stellar play vs. UConn

No Offseason

there that are getting it done … and doing very well, and we have to do a better job defensively.”

The Blue Devils have had another successful campaign on the field, as they have held on to a top-10 ranking for the entire season.

Ranked fourth in a stacked Atlantic Coast Conference that features other powerhouses such as No. 1 University of Maryland and No. 3 University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, the Blue Devils already participated in the ACC Championship, in which they fell in quarterfinal play to No. 19 University of Virginia.

The Blue Devils possess an impressive offensive unit, as they average 12.56 goals per game, the 22nd highest scoring offense in the country. Duke’s offense is led by attacks Kerrin Maurer and Makenzie Hommel, who lead the team with 55 and 54 points, respectively.

Hommel has been the top goal-scorer for the Blue Devils this season with 44 tallies in 16 games. She is fourth in the ACC in goals per game (2.75). While Maurer may only have 28 goals, she has also recorded 27 assists on the season, and is one of the main reasons why the Blue Devils are currently second in the ACC in assists per game (4.75).

One of the biggest reasons for Duke’s success this season is the great play of its goalkeeper, Kelsey Duryea.

Duryea is first in the ACC in saves per game (9.25), second in goals-against average (9.14), and first in save percentage (.512).

The Terriers, after taking down Yale University early last week, were unable to replicate their success against Cornell (10-5) Saturday, as they fell to the Big Red despite 12 combined points from senior attack Danielle Etrasco

The Boston University softball team will travel to Storrs, Conn., to take on the University of Connecticut Thursday afternoon, seeking redemption for a heartbreaking loss earlier this season.

The Terriers (20-23-1, 8-6 America East) dropped an April 3 contest against UConn, 11-8, after falling behind 8-0 early and failing to complete the comeback.

“To say that it’s not in the back of our heads, we wouldn’t be truthful about that, but I think they probably think about it,” said BU coach Kathryn Gleason about the previous loss.

“But we’re in a whole different place than we were at that time.”

The Terriers that will play Thursday are almost an entirely different team from the group that fell behind 8-0 against UConn (25-24) a few weeks ago.

Since that defeat, BU has gone 11-6, including a six-game winning streak from April 13 to April 21. The Terriers have managed to put the offensive struggles that plagued them earlier this season aside, as their offense and defense have come together successfully over and over again.

“You want to evolve throughout the season,” Gleason said. “We would have liked to find our identity a little sooner than we have been, but we’re playing our best ballgames of the year.”

BU showcased all of its improvements this past weekend against the University of Maine, as the team racked up 18 runs to Maine’s six. Senior pitcher Erin Schuppert picked up two wins — her second and third of the season — as the Terriers offense came through when it needed to.

With senior ace Whitney Tuthill still out with the injury that forced her to sit out against Maine (7-37,

“We want more, we want more, if you really like it you want more.”

If you have seen this AT&T commercial, you know the girl is not talking about baseball. However, if you have met me, you know I could not imagine why anybody would not apply such a thought to the sport.

College baseball is the best of the college sports to follow because there is something for everyone to enjoy. It showcases the best aspects of the sport, and there is so much of it that you do not have to be left wanting more.

One of the biggest reasons I love baseball is because it is played so often, no matter the level. It is impossible to dwell on one game because the next comes so quickly. Even college teams can play as many as four games a week, keeping my mind off of bad losses and providing a general distraction from life.

The college baseball season can start as early as February and lasts until the end of June. At the beginning of the season, college sports fans may be watching basketball or hockey, but by the middle of April baseball is able to take the spotlight.

Senior attack Danielle Etrasco had a great effort in BU’s loss to Cornell University Saturday.

By Conor Ryan Daily Free Press Staff

Coming off a hard-fought 1817 loss to Cornell University, the Boston University women’s lacrosse team will look to finish its season on a high note when the team takes on No. 7 Duke University in its final regular-season game Sunday afternoon in Durham, N.C. The Terriers (6-9, 2-4 America East) have had an up-anddown season in their final year in America East, and will need to give their best effort to take down the Blue Devils (11-4), one of the best teams in the country.

“I expect to see a top-five team,” said BU coach Liz Robertshaw. “They have a bench full of All-Americans … We have to go in there and play a fearless game and be aggressive — take them to cage and really try to limit their scoring looks.

“They have some players out
