teve St. Lucia has no plans to retire at 65. “Most people that I know, with the economic hit, have all delayed their retirement,” said St. Lucia, who graduated from Syracuse University in 1978 and is the current president and owner of Union Orthotics and Pedorthics. “I have little kids so I cannot see myself retiring any time soon, and I really don’t want to.” The first wave of baby boomers are turning 65 starting this year, and if the estimated 78 million Americans born between 1946 and 1964 retire at the normal age, an ample number of jobs may

or Kristi Andersen, being an educator wasn’t always the plan. “I didn’t grow up thinking I wanted to be a teacher at all,” Andersen said. “It was in college that I decided I wanted to do that.” Andersen, a political science professor, has been teaching at Syracuse University for 26 years, after teaching for about eight years at Ohio State University. She gave her first lecture as the Chapple Family Professor for Citizenship and Democracy on Monday at 9:30 a.m.

Robert McClure held the professorship since its inception in 2006, according to a Dec. 8 article in The Daily Orange. After McClure announced his retirement last year, Mitchel Wallerstein, former dean of the Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs, selected Andersen to fi ll the position. “To manage the Maxwell courses requires someone who can work effectively across all of the departments,” McClure said. “By virtue of experience, interests, success, she was an obvious choice.”

Big Sean, Donnis tickets sell out for Winter Carnival performance By Sara Tracey ASST. COPY EDITOR

Tickets for University Union’s upcoming Big Sean concert sold out Tuesday, said Gabrielle Landsman, a Bandersnatch co-director. Tickets went on sale at the Schine Box Office on Monday. The box office sold out of the maximum 350 tickets by about 2 p.m. Tuesday. This may be the fastest that tickets have sold out for a Bandersnatch concert for UU, Landsman said. “It’s a huge thing,” she said. “We listened to the students, and they responded overwhelmingly. It’s

really exciting.” Big Sean, a hip-hop artist, will headline the concert with the opening act, rapper Donnis. The concert will be held in Schine Underground on Feb. 23 at 8 p.m. The Big Sean concert is a combined effort between Bandersnatch, a subdivision of UU Concerts, and this year’s Winter Carnival, an annual winter event held by Syracuse University. This concert follows a recent string of sold-out shows for UU. Although most of the shows were

Enrollment in Web courses grows in US By Stephanie Bouvia Contributing Writer

Students in Scott Lathrop’s class see him face-to-face the first four days of the semester. Beyond that, they just see him through a computer screen. Lathrop, who teaches the iMBA program in the Martin J. Whitman School of Management, posts videos of himself, mini-lectures and other content on Blackboard so that students can earn their degrees online, he said. “It does a nice job of keeping me in touch with the students,” Lathrop said. Nearly 30 percent of all college and university students are taking at least one online course, according to the Sloan Survey of Online Learning published in November. The survey of more than 2,500 colleges and universities showed that roughly 5.6 million students were taking at least one online course during the fall 2009 semester, an increase of nearly 1 million students from the previous year. SU professors who teach online said they like the rapid feedback of teaching online but note that there are disadvantages to it as well. Lathrop’s iMBA program features all of the same curricular content as the full-time MBA program. The program is very beneficial for his students because many of them work full-time jobs, and the online program allows students to keep their jobs and still log in at their leisure, he said. But he does acknowledge that there are some flaws to taking an online course. “You don’t get the same kind of in-class contact with the professor,” he said. Mathematics professor Jeff Meyer uses online homework assignments in his calculus classes. “I like that the feedback for the students is instantaneous. They don’t have to wait for a homework assignment to be handed back before they learn that they’ve done the problems right or wrong,” he said. While Meyer does find online assignments useful, he also believes there are a few setbacks, he said. “The thing I like least about the programs that I have used is that there are only a limited number of problems for the students to do. Many fewer than in the text for the class,” he said. Meyer said the programs offer little flexibility, and it is nearly impossible for him to post questions that are exactly like the ones on his exams. But students seem to like being able to do the problems and receiving feedback right away, he said. see online page 6

Renovated warehouse opens lofts, work space By Noelia de la Cruz Contributing Writer

A former warehouse in the Near Westside has been transformed into a spot where people can live and work in the same space. Though tenants started moving into upper-level apartments in the Lincoln Building in October, construction is still underway on the first two floors, where Say Yes to Education and La Casita Cultural Center Project have leased space. Both groups are expected to move in by the end of February, said Maarten Jacobs, director of the

Near Westside Initiative. NWSI, a collaborative community project dedicated to revitalizing the neighborhood, one of the poorest in Syracuse, bought the 30,000square-foot space in February 2009 to convert it into a mixed-use commercial and residential building, Jacobs said. The total cost of renovation and construction reached close to $4 million, Jacobs said. Funding came from the help of the Restore New York Communities Initiative and a donation of about $300,000 from the Syracuse Center of Excellence, as well as

from fundraising, Jacobs said. “The building was a huge project just because it’s over 100 years old, and it was in disrepair for a really long time,” he said. The building includes 10 living and working lofts on the third and fourth floors. NWSI members are seeking LEED certification for the building, which includes green technologies such as geothermal heating and storm-water retention strategies that eliminate site water from entering the city and county sewer systems, according to the NWSI website. see nwsi page 6

What is NWSI? The mission of the Near Westside Initiative is to combine the power of art, technology and innovation with neighborhood values and culture to revitalize Syracuse’s Near Westside neighborhood. The SALT District is a project of the Near Westside Initiative, Inc., aimed at creating a new epicenter of artistic and cultural development in the Syracuse and Central New York area.

Moving rates for college graduates stay stagnant due to job market By Eugene Lanzoni Contributing Writer

Although Srikant Ramarao would prefer to move to somewhere like Santa Barbara, Calif., after graduation, he has come to terms with the idea of potentially staying in Syracuse to find a job. “Syracuse may not be the ideal location to settle down in,” said Ramarao, a freshman in the College of Arts and Sciences. “I mean, obviously, it’s no Santa Barbara, but I’m used to it by now. Anyway, moving to a more appealing place just isn’t

worth the financial hit.” During the last year, moving rates for graduates have remained at a mere 2.1 percent, according to U.S Census data from an Associated Press article published Jan. 11. Moving rates are determined by how many students leave the area after graduation. Many students stay to live and work in the same area they attended college in because of the job market and the economic downfall, according to the report. For Syracuse University’s Class of 2009, 52 percent of respondents

who were employed full time were working in New York state, according to SU Career Services’ Class of 2009 Placement Report, the latest report available. Another 30 percent of these full-time workers had gained employment in one of the states neighboring New York, according to the report. When it came to graduate school, 53 percent of 2009 SU graduates who responded to the survey were attending a school in New York state and another 15 percent in adjoining states, according to the report.

The average salary for the graduating Class of 2009 was $40,932, a decrease of $1,468 from the previous class’ average salary, according to the report. “It is truly a Great Depression for young adults,” said Andrew Sum, an economics professor and director of the Center for Labor Market Studies at Northeastern University in Boston, in the AP article. “Young adults are working at lower rates than they ever worked before since World War II. As a result, you would see moving page 4

Hicks would not disclose the cost of how much was lost but said it was “a lot.” The carpet was also ruined. “There’s not a shoe box you could have picked up,” Hicks said, describing how the basement filled with water and mud. It is still unknown what exactly happened, Hicks said. He said he believes a pipe broke, although it is unclear where in the sprinkler system it could have occurred. Archie Potamianos, the landlord of the building in which J. Michael is located, hired John P. Stopen Engineering Partnership, a structural and geotechnical engineering company, to make repairs. Engineers have been working in the basement since the weekend, Hicks said. The foundation was reinforced Saturday and Sunday. The basement will be completely updated, said Potamianos, who also uses the basement as the office for his businesses Potamianos Properties and the Student Storage Company. Once the debris is removed, engineers will make sure there is no additional structural damage.

With the exception of steel posts that support the building, everything will be removed from the basement, including the electrical service, the sheetrock and the ceiling, he said. Once the basement is cleaned out, sanitized and dried out, structural repairs will begin, he said. Repairs include fixing the foundation, which collapsed due to the flooding, and replacing the electrical service with a new one. Potamianos said he hopes the building will reopen within 50 days.

Andersen received her undergraduate degree at Smith College and obtained her Ph.D. from the University of Chicago in 1976. As the Chapple Family Professor for Citizenship and Democracy, she is responsible for overseeing the three Maxwell courses offered to freshmen and sophomore undergraduate students. The courses are MAX 123: “Critical Issues for the United States,” MAX 132: “Global Community” and MAX 201: “Quantitative Methods for the Social Sciences.” In the courses, students are challenged to think about critical issues while developing their analytical and writing skills, Andersen said. “I think what the courses are trying to do is very critical, so I really enjoy being a part of that,” Andersen said. The courses are unique because they are interdisciplinary, and a team of professors from several different social sciences departments teach the course. Being on the interdisciplinary team has been valuable for her work, research and teaching, Andersen said. McClure said if every faculty member at SU had all the qualities Andersen had, everyone would be a lot better off — particularly students. Ken Alter, a junior political science major, took the MAX 123 course with Andersen his freshman year. “What I would say makes her a unique professor is the fact that she is a very good teacher while coming across more as a friend,” Alter said. “You go to talk to her, and she has a very open-arms environment in her office.” Heather Pincock, a graduate student working toward her doctorate in political science, has been both a student and a colleague of Andersen’s. Pincock described Andersen as a “straight shooter” and said she has the type of temperament needed to run the undergraduate Maxwell courses. She said Andersen has the type of personality that can push students to think more carefully. But Andersen can also lighten the mood of a stressful classroom. Andersen has brought her dog, Kofi, to class to meet students and other faculty members before, Pincock said. Pincock said she believes Andersen’s experience outside the classroom adds depth to her teaching. “I think she is a really good example of a

expect migration to fall because they have nowhere to go to.” But college graduates aren’t the only ones being affected. For adults aged 25 to 29, about 3.2 percent moved to a new state last year, a drop from 3.7 percent in 2009, according to the article. Of the total U.S. population, 12.5 percent, or more than 38 million people, made the shift to a new state in 2010, according to the article. In 2009, the moving rate for the U.S. population was also 12.5 percent, according to the article. The overall mobility rate was only lower in 2008, at 11.9 percent, according to the article. Despite the low moving rate, not all SU students want to stay in the area once college has run its course. Cory Sage, a junior television, radio and film major, is originally from Ohio and plans to return for a brief period of time after graduation before eventually moving to Los Angeles. “I’m definitely feeling a lot of apprehension,” Sage said. “But I feel a great sense of

professor who has integrated scholarly work with engagement in her community. That’s very clear if you look at things she has done with her time,” Pincock said. “She is not a scholar who is limited to the university and academia. She is also very involved in local politics and is also a kind of public intellectual.” On top of teaching at SU, Andersen is an author. She wrote the book “After Suffrage: Women in Partisan and Electoral Politics Before the New Deal” in 1996 and has written several scholarly articles. “I like writing,” Andersen said. “I think sitting down and figuring out how best to describe what you want to describe is really enjoyable.” She also regularly appears on a local television program, “The Ivory Tower Half Hour.” The show is broadcast on WCNY, and panelists comment on local, regional and national news events, according to the program’s website. Andersen has also served on the Town Board of Cazenovia for five years. As an elected official, she brings real-life experience to both her writing and her teaching. “It has made me even more sensitive to how democracy is carried out and how people interact with each other to make decisions,” she said. Despite the vast amount of work and success Andersen has achieved in other facets of her professional life, she is most proud of the recognition she has received for teaching and said she hopes to continue her past success in the new position. “It’s a course that has ambitious goals,” Andersen said. “Maintaining this tradition in the Maxwell school, it’s an honor to be responsible for that.” mjfahner@syr.edu

Andersen’s position

As the Chapple Family Professor for Citizenship and Democracy, it is Kristi Andersen’s responsibility to oversee the three Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs courses offered to freshman and sophomore students. In the three courses, students must think critically about issues and develop their writing skills. The three courses are: • MAX 123: “Critical Issues for the United States” • MAX 132: “Global Community” • MAX 201: “Quantitative Methods for the Social Sciences”

SU should work to make summer internships as accessible as possible The results of research into drafting a university-wide internship policy could affect every Syracuse University student in every major. An ad hoc committee is looking into the various summer internship policies and trends across campus to gauge whether the campus needs an overarching policy, which may allow tuition to cover for-credit summer internships, place restrictions on taking unpaid internships and pay faculty members for working with interning students. Regular tuition, at more than $40,000, should absolutely cover forcredit summer internships. In most cases, regular tuition allows students to take up to 18 credits a semester. With an average course load of 15 or 16 credits, students already pay for more credits than they typically use. These unused credits should carry over into the summer to pay for internship credits. Tuition covers the credits for

editorial by the daily orange editorial board internships in Syracuse or at SU-sponsored centers in other cities during the academic year. Most SU schools streamline the process for interning during the spring or fall. But the most prestigious internships are offered in the summer, normally in large metropolitan areas. Interning during the academic year isn’t optimal, or even possible, for every student. If the committee decides to recommend a university-wide policy, it should leave unpaid internships untouched. Many students rely on uncompensated internships to build a resume, especially in this economy. Internships in all forms provide real-world experience that can impress future employers more than any class or GPA. Even an internship opportunity doing secretarial work or running

errands for a company executive allows students to cultivate invaluable connections. Voluntarily working for slave wages at a distinguished organization provides more opportunities for professional growth than accepting, for instance, a minimum-wage job at a hometown mall for the summer. If the committee devises a university-wide policy that would compensate faculty members who mentor summer interns, there should be clear and stricter guidelines about how much work professors and their students are required to do. Making summer internships more accessible to SU students by covering the credits with yearly tuition and continuing to allow unpaid internships will inevitably increase chances for post-graduation employment and relevant networking, as well as increasing SU’s reputation and attractiveness to prospective students.

Earthquake reveals Haitians’ ability to persevere, show compassion through tragedy I had the opportunity to go to Haiti and work for disaster relief for a short while during Winter Break, and I came back on the anniversary of the Haiti earthquake. The experience has made me see life in a new light. When you go into a developing country ravaged by disease, natural disasters, political turmoil, etc., you go there to watch. You don’t live it. Yes, you might live with the people there but not with those who are starving, those who cook on burning garbage, hunched next to the child with diarrhea. There’s the smell of rotting flesh, roofs covered in rusted aluminum, the occasional bullet shot. You watch. I would go to work in the office where people are better off. They gave me hugs and expressed true love. But what they have seen, you could not imagine — or maybe you have, in which case I send my condolences.

When you know death caused by an earthquake — whether you are rich or poor — when half your family dies of some unfortunate event or another, there are holes that are unbearable to speak of. Like a constant poke on an open sore that never truly heals. On my drive to work, the roads were surrounded with tent people. It bothered me but became commonplace until I came back to an established, well-developed country where I live in an ivory tower, metaphorically speaking. Here is where many people hold degrees, have a job, a home. Some might be poor, but they are surviving. This is where it lies: survival, the rub. In Haiti and throughout the world, there are those who cannot survive without depending on a neighbor — a necessity when you can’t make enough money for food or shelter.

let ter to the editor This feeling of community and connection bonds them because life depends on it — fellowship based on survival. I saw people connect because any day could be their last, and the only thing that keeps them going is love — carefree, no material attachments because they have none. This love is magnificent but unimaginable unless you are living in this reality, where the memory of death lives in the shadows. With luxury and comfort, the developed world, collectively speaking, has lost this bare essence: love naked in all its glory. I met a man named the Rev. Joseph Livenson Lauvaus. He embodies Haitians’ courage to endure suffering with compassion and love. In the ‘80s, when Livenson was a child, his father denounced the state party. As retali-

ation, the ruling party blamed the suffering of the poor on his family. An angry mob burned his house down, and his father was exiled from the country. Years went by, and his mother, sister and brother all passed away. He grew up with the help of his godmother in one of the most dangerous neighborhoods in the world. Yet he graduated valedictorian in college and seminary school, completing an eight-year program in four years. He could have preached anywhere, but he chose to go back to Haiti and help the most impoverished people in his community. The Haiti earthquake happened on Jan. 12, 2010. Cholera affected about 500,000 Haitians by 2011. In between there were riots and looting on the streets. Ruins were all around, yet amid all this darkness, Livenson brings hope. His church, Eglise Lutherienne d’Haiti, provides shelter to hundreds

of Haitians and feeds thousands. The cholera response team goes door to door, helping the sick who cannot move because they are too young or too old. In this world, every day is a fight for survival. Progress is slow. There are a lot of people like this in Haiti. And with people like Livenson, this unfaltering love can be seen. Love beyond all struggles. By no means are they idealistic, yet they never lose that spark of humanity the developed world seems to have forgotten. If you would like more information on Haiti and its recovery, visit www.lutheranchurchofhaiti.org, or look into any of the number of other reliable organizations that provide aid to this devastated country.

For Genevieve Babecki, a Syracuse University engagement fellow at La Casita, an apartment in the Lincoln Building provides an ideal opportunity to work closely with the community, she said.

ate study at SU, according to the engagement fellows’ website. La Casita, which aims to build a bridge among people at SU and keep the community interested in Latino-American studies, serves the Near Westside, Babecki said. The new space will include a gallery, library, classroom space and a theater, Babecki said. Because the loft-style apartments are designed to encourage artists to work in their homes, the apartments, which are roughly

1,500 square feet, do not have delineated sections and function instead as one large room with a kitchen and bathroom. “It’s completely open,” Babecki said. “My living room is my dining room is my bedroom.” Rent costs between $1,075 and $1,225 per month, depending on the space, and includes all utilities, Jacobs said. “It’s pretty drastically different from any apartment I’ve had before,” said Hilary Mansur, an engagement fellow and architectural construction specialist at Home HeadQuarters Inc., an organization that works in the Near Westside to renovate homes and increase home ownership of the residents in the community. “The idea is you take it and make it your own space,” she said. Other tenants include SU professors, Syracuse city employees, local artists and Michael Short, an engagement fellow and deputy director at NWSI, Jacobs said. Short also works with many businesses in the area and serves as chair of the NWSI Small Business Development Committee, Short said. “The initiative empowers people in a way that brings them together to do things they otherwise wouldn’t have been able to do,” Short said. Bringing in people who work for the neighborhood to live in the neighborhood and become a part of the community will be beneficial in the long run, he said. “It’s one thing to work there and another to go out there, experience what the people there are experiencing,” he said, “and to count yourself as a resident of the neighborhood.” nsdelacr@syr.edu

BOOMERS FROM PAGE 1

open up for future graduating classes. Starting Jan. 1, 10,000 baby boomers began turning 65 each day for the next 19 years, according to The Pew Research Center. But not all baby boomers want to retire at age 65. Out of more than 500 polled U.S. workers age 60 and over, 65 percent of workers said they are putting off retirement, according to a CareerBuilder survey released Jan. 26. Angela Petrucco, director of the Career Center at the Martin J. Whitman School of Management, said it will be at least five years before a large segment of baby boomers stop working. She also said she believes longer life expectancy plays a part in later retirement. “With the life span now projected to 80 years of age for women and 76 years of age for men, people need more money in order to retire comfortably at 65 years of age,” Petrucco said. Thirty-nine percent of baby boomers also don’t want to retire because they enjoy their job, and 26 percent “fear retirement may just be boring,” according to the CareerBuilder survey. Though baby boomers are in no hurry to retire, there is still hope for job market openings because of the size of their generation. While past recent graduation classes have run into trouble, Petrucco said SU has seen an “upswing in career opportunities” this year. As for the mass exodus of the baby boomer generation creating jobs, Petrucco said she believes the media has overstated this idea. Positions can open up as boomers retire, and upcoming graduates could be a great fit, said Allison Nawoj, the corporate communications manager for CareerBuilder. “The entry-level person might even have a way to put a new spin on it, a way to improve the position or a way to change it,” Nawoj said. “That is a possibility for sure.” Nawoj said one of the reasons graduates will be able to fill vacant positions is due to the different strengths they bring as a generation. Whereas baby boomers have demonstrated resilience after enduring a recession and longevity in a particular industry, newer generations may be better multitaskers and more familiar with new technologies. There is a benefit to having a technology background, especially when it comes to the marketing side of any business, said baby boomer St. Lucia. He said he would love to work in a field that is more focused on technology, but he doesn’t have the skills of the younger generation. “I don’t have the IT background,” he said. “They’re hiring people right out of college, so I can’t compete with the newer guys.”

Breagin Riley, an associate professor of marketing, administers quizzes for her class’ assigned weekly readings with the online program Qualtrics. The students take the quizzes before the lecture to prove they are prepared for class, Riley said in an e-mail. Riley is then able to gauge how well the students comprehend the material and addresses any misunderstandings or issues in her next lecture, she said. Riley does not have a way to measure if students’ average grades in the class are up because she started using the program one year ago, but she said the program seems to have positively affected students. Certain subjects lend themselves particularly well to online learning, said Ben Miller, a policy analyst at Education Sector, an organization that examines all aspects of modern education.

Sam Meyerkopf, a senior sport management major, agrees technology separates the baby boomer generation from upcoming graduates because students are familiar with the constant technological changes in the workforce. “A baby boomer may run things different than a young person would, so if they are retiring soon, we can start taking over with new technological skills,” Meyerkopf said. But the jobs are not opening up for everyone. Kate Law graduated in 2009 and spent her senior year at SU hearing from 2008 graduates who were still unemployed. “Every day we’d hear stories about how horrible the job market was and how horrible the economy was,” she said. Upon graduating in May 2009, Law imme-

It wasn’t until early summer 2010 that she received her first full-time job with benefits at InStyle magazine. Pete Goodman, also a 2009 SU graduate, received a low-paying public relations job after graduation and supplemented his salary by waiting tables. He said he was lucky to eventually be offered a property management job by a close family member who works for a real estate development company. Still, he never expected to go from communications to construction. “I hope to get back to my original career path eventually, but for now I’ve been waiting out the storm,” Goodman said. “I hate to sound like I’m complaining because I know so many from my class still working at Wegmans or begging for shifts at Chili’s while trying to get their careers up and running. Caitlin Blanz, a senior finance and marketing major, is also skeptical about the idea of baby boomers’ retirement opening up jobs. “I don’t think baby boomers leaving the job industry is going to affect us all that much because it’s still a competitive search out there,” Blanz said. “They’re not going to hand you jobs on a platter.” mequalte@syr.edu

In the long term, Miller said he believes technology will become a larger component of higher education. “When used properly and in carefully targeted ways, it can produce some real benefits to students,” he said. “But if implemented hastily, without thought or done on the cheap, quality and student learning will suffer.” snbouvia@syr.edu

Lump sum CU-Boulder student pays tuition in one-dollar bills to send message Alex Ptachick

CONTRIBUTING WRITER

hen Nicolaus Ramos went to pay his $14,309.51 tuition bill, he paid it all at once â&#x20AC;&#x201D; with one-dollar bills. Ramos, a sophomore economics major at the University of Colorado at Boulder, brought a 30-pound bag stuffed with more than 14,000 one-dollar bills to the bursarâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office on Jan. 14 to send a message about high tuition costs, he said in a YouTube video fi lmed by the Boulder Daily Camera that was posted online the day before. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Money does talk. Tuition is extremely high for out-of-state, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only going up for instate,â&#x20AC;? Ramos said in the video. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a good way, I feel, that I might be able to send some sort of message thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s different than a letter or, you know, talking to someone face-to-face.â&#x20AC;? Most nonresident undergraduate students at the public university CU-Boulder pay $29,493 a year, compared to $8,511 for instate undergraduate students, according to the universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office of Planning, Budget and Analysis website. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It gives me a much deeper appreciation for the money that my parents give me just to go to school,â&#x20AC;? Ramos said in the YouTube video. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re willing to make those sacrifices, and to be able to see that in physical form like this is very unique and very cool.â&#x20AC;? Bronson Hilliard, director of media relations and CU spokesman, said he understood Ramos was trying to make a statement about out-of-state tuition costs at CU but added that there is a larger issue at hand. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He was trying to make the statement that nonresident tuition rates are too high at CUBoulder when really the bigger issue is that there isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t enough funding coming from the state,â&#x20AC;? Hilliard said. Although Ramosâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; transaction took three people and 55 minutes to process, as well as causing a backup in the line at the bursarâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office, Hilliard said the university wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t

angry or upset with Ramos in any way. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The exceptional education that is earned as a student at CU-Boulder canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be represented by a duffle bag full of money,â&#x20AC;? Hilliard said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Paying tuition at any institution is a lifelong investment.â&#x20AC;? In Colorado, institutions receive only about 3 percent of their funding from the state, compared to the 25 percent they received 30 years

ago, Hilliard said. This amounts to about a $22.3 million cut in funding. Funds not given by the state are created by tuition payments, direct support and earmarked gifts or donations, Hilliard said. Sarah Andrews, a freshman at CU-Boulder, said she did not completely agree with Ramosâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; actions because, in her eyes, the â&#x20AC;&#x153;trueâ&#x20AC;? value of education is not an issue of how much one

pays for it but what one gets out of it. But the school should receive a large amount of funding from the state because it is a state school, she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fair that out-of-state students have to pay twice as much in tuition fees,â&#x20AC;? Andrews said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;just because theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not from Colorado.â&#x20AC;? acptachi@syr.edu

etc. But here in America, we have rules in place to prevent the public from sudden exposure to “Steelers Gone Wild.” Until now, we’ve derived our own PDA code of ethics from an unwritten tradition passed down by word of mouth from our Puritan ancestors to present-day society. That ends today. The scandal that took place Sunday in Pittsburgh (henceforth

known as “Humpgate”) calls for immediate action. We need a clear set of written rules to govern our affections and how we display them in public. I’ve identified four policies that require immediate implementation: 1. Know your audience. This one’s pretty simple. Be discreet and make sure that if you’re spotted, it’ll be by a complete stranger. The last thing anyone wants to hear while they’re making out is “Professor, I thought these were your office hours.” 2. Mind the children. It’s crucial these impressionable little buggers learn proper etiquette from an early age. There’s a reason why Big Bird and Elmo’s unspoken love has remained unspoken all these years. Here’s hoping Dora and Diego stay “just friends.” 3. Beware of the great outdoors. This one isn’t much of an issue here in Syracuse, but Mendenhall proved that even frigid temperatures can’t stand in love’s way all the time. Still, it’s probably best to make sure the open pasture you’re laying on is deserted and not a sold-out football stadium. 4. Keep the volume down. This one’s pretty obvious, but it needs to be mentioned. Noise complaints are the reason Spain banned the wheelbarrow. Danny Fersh is a junior broadcast journalism major.

STAR TREK

has been inspired by “Star Trek.” Rotolo agrees with Norris but attributes most of our technological innovations to all of science fiction, not just the “Star Trek” series. “A lot of the folks who work at companies like Apple and Microsoft are people who may have grown up watching shows like ‘Star Trek,’ and oftentimes they see things like a hand-held tablet device used in ‘The Next Generation,’ and certainly some of those concepts are going to show up in the designs that they make,” Rotolo said. While classes that incorporate social media have captured student interest, neither Rotolo nor the iSchool could have predicted how popular the IST 300 course would become. The fi rst day of registration had the course booked within hours, and a 70-person cap was eventually put on enrollment. For future semesters, the class is open to all undergraduate students, regardless of their majors. “What I see this as, from the perspective of the iSchool, is that whether the student is in our program or not, if the student has an interest in discussing these types of topics, they likely have an interest in much more than we do here,” Rotolo said. “I see this as a gateway to possibilities.”

ski resorts and the array of gourmet restaurants. But while that informality is fostered, it’s also what has made Sundance such an indispensable cultural event since its inception in 1978. At Sundance, artists expose themselves like they never would in any other arena. If you don’t stick around for the Q-and-A session, you’re missing out on the fi lm you just saw. Take the Jan. 21 screening of Joe Swanberg’s “Uncle Kent,” for example. During the Q-and-A session, star Kent Osborne was a veritable oneman show. Like his character in the fi lm, he draws people on Chat Roulette and shows them the picture. He smokes marijuana. The back of his Honda Civic is taped together. He masturbates like his character and can do a Robert De Niro impression with his private parts. Osborne also wrote 23 episodes of “SpongeBob SquarePants” and co-wrote “The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie.” The wealth of celebrities and acclaimed fi lmmakers who travel to Park City each year is well documented, but one cannot underestimate the importance of staying focused on what truly makes Sundance so special. Stars are hard to fi nd, but a shared passion for fi lmmaking and the subtle lushness of the city are always clutching you and provide endless opportunities to savor the festival experience. I didn’t go to Redford’s restaurant, Zoom, and I regrettably didn’t go snowboarding, but I think I soaked up enough of the atmosphere to remain content for years. At every table in every restaurant, overhearing what others have to say about the festival is unavoidable. Festival buzz is spread through word of mouth just as heavily as in newspapers and blogs. Anyone with a festival pass is immediately an influential critic. I learned more about the highlights of the festival by conversing with a couple on a waitlist line than from scouring publications for the “must-sees” and “avoid at all costs” in the arts sections. I didn’t catch a world premiere and just barely caught sight of Redford, but I’m confident in saying that I immersed myself in the festival so thoroughly that I could be content in never returning and will have no regrets about having missed out on what Sundance had to offer. But I do plan on going back. As a fi lmmaker. Check tomorrow’s Splice for a full review.

Student’s trip, experience at Sundance Festival prove to be memorable

f*** it, we’ll do it live

Text and photo by Sam Littman

Staff Writer

very January, avid moviegoers around the world flock to the Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah, to be the first to see the next “Clerks” or “Little Miss Sunshine.” There are endless new films to discover, and it’s easy to become infatuated with the possibility of sitting next to James Franco at a trendy celebrity hangout or running into Robert Redford as he strolls down Main Street. But those weren’t my highest priorities. I just wanted to meet Kelly Reichardt. Reichardt’s previous work, the minimalist drama “Wendy and Lucy” (2008) was my pick as the best film of the decade, and I didn’t plan on missing her new picture. I had a ticket to see Reichardt’s new film, “Meek’s Cutoff,” on Sunday night, but I was worried she might not

venture to Utah for the screening. I felt I had to take a risk to gain a Reichardt sighting. I arrived three hours before that night’s screening of “Meek’s Cutoff,” even though I had already shelled out over $30 to see it the next night. Two hours before the screening, I received my unfavorable waitlist number. Just as the doors were about to close, I was one of the last people admitted into the screening. Lo and behold, half an hour after the credits rolled, I saw Reichardt in the lobby after the Q-and-A session. It was an experience I will never forget.

America’s most iconic film festival has always embraced its informal nature, the uniformly accepted attitude that makes such encounters possible. The atmosphere invites an openness that puts stuffy award ceremonies to shame and even encourages constant interaction between artists and festival patrons. Perhaps it’s the setting itself, a veritable wonderland defined by snow-clad mountains and indescribably fresh air, that inspires the artists’ informal sensibilities. Or maybe it’s the perks that Park City and the festival inherently offer, such as the surrounding see littman page 8

‘Star Trek’ class mixes Twitter, current events By Liz Sawyer

Contributing Writer

This semester, a new class added to the School of Information Studies course list allows students to study technology that is literally out of this world. The class, IST 300: “Star Trek and the Information Age,” explores the messages of science and communication in the “Star Trek” series and attempts to apply them to everyday life. Adjunct professor Anthony Rotolo, who specializes in social media, designed the course. Though he wasn’t a fan of the show as a child, Rotolo said, he has been a “Star Trek” enthusiast for most of his adult life. Rotolo realized the show’s content was worthy enough to be studied at a university and planned a curriculum around the series.

Jeff Stanton, dean of research at the iSchool, said the innovative class combines pop culture and social media to study modern technology — a smart way to generate more interest in the iSchool program. “We’re very experimental (at the iSchool),” Stanton said. “The staff

“I see this as a gateway to possibilities.” Anthony Rotolo

professor of ist 300: “Star trek and the information age”

is just bubbling over with ideas, so when we get one that’s worth trying and has a shot of getting some students to take it, then we go for it.”

With the iSchool’s approval, Rotolo had a new class for the spring semester. In the IST 300 course, Rotolo and his students watch episodes on one projection screen while simultaneously engaging in a live discussion on Twitter that’s displayed on another screen. Students can pose questions in the form of a tweet without interrupting the class, and their peers can respond. Members of the class must also participate in a collaborative blog at trekclass. com, where they post their thoughts and evaluate what they’ve seen in class. Rotolo calls this the “blended instructional model” because his students are interacting both online and face-to-face. “This course is focused very much on real-world contemporary issues, pulling examples from ‘Star Trek’

that we can use to relate to issues that particularly professionals in the information field are trying to answer right now,” Rotolo said. Erin Kidd, a junior illustration major, said she particularly enjoys the class because she has realized the characters in “Star Trek” are trying to make a social statement. “I find it interesting because, as an illustrator, I have to comment on society and, in turn, challenge society to be different, which is sort of what ‘Star Trek’ is doing, just in a different way,” Kidd said. Brian Norris, a freshman in the College of Arts and Sciences, said he always loved “Star Trek” and that this class is the perfect mix of science and technology. This course has also reinforced Norris’ belief that much of our technology today see star trek page 8

fter spending last semester in Madrid, I came to realize that every culture has a different take on public displays of affection (PDA). America trained me to think that any and all PDA is rude and improper. Spain, on the other hand, taught me that anything short of having sex wheelbarrow-style with three or more strangers — while on a metro car full of children — is perfectly acceptable. So you can imagine my shock when, upon returning to this country, I witnessed hardcore PDA in the last place any American would expect to find it: on a football field. Between two players. During a game. In the final seconds of the Pittsburgh Steelers’ 24-19 win over the New York Jets on Sunday, Steelers running back Rashard Mendenhall jumped on teammate and quarterback Ben Roethlisberger to celebrate their team’s impending victory. Mendenhall then stayed on top of Roethlisberger, thrusting his pelvic region into the quarterback’s backside three times while yelling what we can only assume were sweet nothings into Roethlisberger’s ear. On national television. Now there’s nothing wrong with what Mendenhall did, why he did it or who he did it to. The only problem was the way he did it. Proper PDA requires some forewarning to prepare the audience members for what they’re about to see. If Mendenhall had the fans’ best interests at heart, he would have first shook Roethlisberger’s hand, given him a congratulatory butt-slap and then maybe taken him out to dinner before hopping on his back like a rodeo clown. Instead, millions of viewers got completely blindsided by an image usually reserved for Animal Planet springtime specials. Sure, that crap would fly in Spain, where images like that are often replayed on the news, educational programming, children’s cartoons, the Food Network, see fersh page 8

PASTA BAR

Easy recipes for dinner parties that make everyone happy

By Sara Tracey ASST. COPY EDITOR

his time of year, students have a bit more down time before their class work really kicks in. A great way to get reacquainted with friends and talk about your philosophy professor’s latest outburst is by hosting a dinner party. What’s better to feed a bunch of college kids with than bar food? No, not the stuff they serve at Chuck’s Cafe, more like a salad bar. The perfect aspect of having “bar”

food at a party is that everyone can customize his or her own dinner with different toppings. Not only do people get exactly what they want, but it’s a lot cheaper than making 10 individual servings of veal parmesan. The following recipes also accommodate the average college student without a car. You can find these ingredients at one of the little supermarkets dotted across both Main and South campuses. smtracey@syr.edu

SALAD BAR Salad:

• Two bags of salad mix • At least two dressings (follow the balsamic dressing recipe for a homemade touch) • Varied toppings, including but not limited to carrots, tomatoes, red onion, dried cranberries and chopped walnuts Toss the salad mix in a large bowl. Put all of the dressings and toppings in separate bowls and have everyone assemble what they want.

Balsamic dressing: • • • •

1/4 cup balsamic vinegar 1/2 cup olive oil (extra virgin preferred) 1/2 tablespoon Dijon mustard Salt and pepper to taste

Put the balsamic vinegar in a bowl. Drizzle in the olive oil a little bit at a time while simultaneously whisking — this is called emulsifying, which is a fancy way of saying rapidly mixing. Whisk in the Dijon mustard, and then season.

You’d think, “What’s so special about pasta?” But what happens when you make a meat sauce over ziti and you have two vegetarian friends? Whomp, whomp. These two sauces and topping combinations can satisfy meat lovers and vegetarians, as well as all those in between. Cook one of two boxes of pasta as per the directions on the box and set aside. Be sure to put some oil in the boiling water so the pasta doesn’t stick when it’s sitting.

Alfredo sauce: • • • • • • • •

2 garlic cloves, cracked (not in pieces) 1 stick of butter 2 tablespoons ﬂour 2 quarts heavy cream 3/4 cup Parmesan cheese 1/2 tablespoon salt 1/2 tablespoon pepper (white pepper if you can ﬁnd it) 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg (optional)

Melt the butter in a large pot on medium heat and put in the garlic. When the garlic starts to brown, fish it out and throw away. Now you have a garlic-infused butter. Put in the flour and stir quickly. You’re making a roux, which will act as a thickener for the sauce. Cook the butter-flour mixture for a minute. Then put in the heavy cream. Turn the heat to mediumlow and stir occasionally until the sauce simmers. Take the sauce off the heat and add the cheese slowly while stirring. Add the spices and stir. *Tip: A lot of chefs like to put nutmeg in cream or cheese sauces because it brings a subtle spice flavor to the sauce.

Doctored-up tomato sauce: • • • • • • •

1 2 2 1 1 1 3

tablespoon olive oil garlic cloves, pressed or chopped very ﬁne medium-sized tomatoes, chopped tablespoon dried basil tablespoon dried oregano teaspoon red chili pepper ﬂakes jars of already-prepared tomato sauce

Add the olive oil to a large pot and add the garlic. When the garlic smells, well, like garlic, throw in the tomatoes. Have them cook down for about three minutes until they soften. Add the spices and the prepared tomato sauce. This puts a homemade taste to an alreadymade product.

Toppings for your pasta bar:

SUNDAE BAR

Most people like something sweet to end a dinner, and a sundae bar is a great way to satisfy that sweet tooth. Another perk: no preparation required. People get to scoop their own ice cream and put on their own toppings. Buy two or three different ice creams. Vanilla, chocolate and mint chocolate chip are safe and varied choices. Then come the toppings. Here are some you can ﬁnd at a little store: • Whipped cream • Frozen fruit (strawberries and blueberries) • Almonds or another nut • Chocolate sauce • Maraschino cherries Here’s a recipe for a homemade caramel sauce that’s cheaper to make than it is to buy. Caramel can be tricky because you don’t want the sugar to burn. Just watch it and make sure you don’t see a lot of smoke coming from your stove top.

Caramel sauce: • • • •

1 1/2 cups white sugar 1/2 cup water 2 tablespoons heavy cream 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Combine the white sugar and water in a medium pot. Cover the pot and put the heat on low until the sugar dissolves. Turn the heat up to high and uncover the pot, waiting for the mix to come to a boil. Stir occasionally for ﬁ ve to seven minutes (preferably with a wooden spoon, but if you have a metal one, that should be ﬁne). Add the cream and the vanilla extract — it’s normal to hear an intense bubbling sound. Stir for an additional three minutes and serve warm over the ice cream. Have people put all the toppings in their own bowls, and have at it. You’re all set — savor and enjoy! smtracey@syr.edu

• Cooked ground meat *Tip: The little stores don’t carry raw ground meat, so a way to bypass this little road bump is to buy frozen hamburger patties, thaw them and break them up in a pan. You can then use them just like ground beef. • Sautéed mushrooms (Cut them up and put them in a pan with melted butter. Heat up until the mushrooms brown.) • Raw chopped tomatoes • Extra Parmesan cheese

Changes in defensive scheme fail to spur Orange comeback By Brett LoGiurato and Andrew L. John The Daily Orange

Scoop Jardine knew the unorthodox change was coming. Right from the opening of the second half, when the Syracuse players still struggled to get to their spots in the 2-3 zone, Jardine sensed his head coach Jim Boeheim would venture into mostly uncharted territory — into man-to-man defense. “I knew it,” Jardine said. “When we’re late to our spots like that, we’re going to go man.” Minutes into the second half, Boeheim employed two un-Boeheim defensive techniques. Both, he said, were out of desperation in an attempt to mount a rally from a double-digit halftime deficit against Seton Hall. Both were implemented because Boeheim’s trademark zone wasn’t getting stops. Neither worked. Syracuse still fell to the Pirates 90-68 in its worst home loss since 1998. The first change implemented a full-court press — a move Boeheim admitted he had low expectations of from the start. The press helped lead to eight Seton Hall turnovers, but it also led to possessions during which the Pirates got up the court seamlessly and put in easy baskets. “We can’t press,” Boeheim said. “We don’t have the speed or the quickness to press. Realistically,

there are not two teams in the country out of 340 that press. “Press is what you do when you are desperate. We were desperate tonight, so we tried. We are lucky that we got the turnovers that we did, but we are not a pressing team.” The second change was the switch to man-toman that Jardine expected. Multiple players could not remember the last time they played man-toman in a regular-season game under Boeheim. That switch, too, did not produce the desired effects, as Seton Hall scored more points in the second half (47) than it did in the first (43). In all, the 90 points were the most points given up by a Syracuse team since its six-overtime contest with Connecticut in the 2009 Big East tournament. And in the end, Boeheim realizes the best teams in college basketball play their style of defense to win. For Syracuse, that is the zone. And for Syracuse, that zone has to improve. “We have to play zone,” Boeheim said. “We have to work on our defense, it is our defense. Most teams have adopted a defense, and that’s the one they use, and that’s our defense. We have got to do a better job with it.”

Southerland inserted into starting lineup For the first time all season, Jim Boeheim

mixed up his starting lineup without being forced. Sophomore forward James Southerland was thrust into the starting lineup on the road against then-No. 5 Pittsburgh last Monday, but that was because Kris Joseph didn’t travel with the team due to a concussion. Against Seton Hall Tuesday, Southerland made a surprise return to the starting lineup. This time, he was starting in place of freshman center Fab Melo. Rick Jackson moved to the middle of the zone defense like he has in several games this season. He was flanked by Southerland and Joseph on the wings in a smaller but quicker lineup for the Orange. But despite getting the start, Southerland’s struggles continued from a production standpoint. He finished the game with four points on 1-for-5 shooting from the field in 19 minutes of action. “We thought starting the game with James, he’d get a couple open looks early,” Boeheim said. “He got them, he just wasn’t able to knock them down.” Jackson remained in the middle for most of the game, with Melo playing four minutes off the bench Tuesday. With Melo struggling, Boeheim is still tinkering with the lineup to figure out what works

best — something no coach wants to be doing 21 games into the season. But when Melo is out of the game, SU struggles with defense and rebounding, Boeheim pointed out. The problem is that Melo simply isn’t in the playing condition needed to receive extended minutes in the Big East. “I don’t know what it is,” Boeheim admitted. “He’s worked in practice, but he is tired in a minute. He could not get back down the court after about a minute and 10 seconds (into the game). Whether it’s just the fact that he hasn’t done enough running over the course of the last three or four years, played enough basketball, I don’t know.” Moving forward, though, Boeheim did say he would return to using Melo and fellow freshman Baye Moussa Keita at the center position. It’s too much to ask of Jackson to play in the middle of the zone for an entire game, he said. Now it’s just a matter of how long it takes for Melo to adjust to the speed of play. “When he can get (down court), he can make plays,” Boeheim said. “But he cannot get there at the pace these games are played at. Without him out there, we’re very small.” bplogiur@syr.edu aljohn@syr.edu

Alexander needs big game against Pittsburgh team with size advantage By Mark Cooper Asst. Sports Editor

Quentin Hillsman said last week’s practices were spent looking for new ways to get Kayla Alexander the ball. The Syracuse women’s basketball team was mired in a two-game losing skid, and the fifth-year head coach knew his interior players held the key to turning the streak around. They needed to be more physical and get easy points in the paint rather than relying on jump shooters. All that work paid off Saturday, as Syracuse went into Marquette and left with a quality road win. Alexander, a sophomore center, led the way with 17 points and 10 rebounds. “Kayla can match up with anybody in the country,” Hillsman said. “So we have to do a good job of getting her the ball in the paint and getting her the ball close to the rim.” Syracuse (14-4, 2-3 Big East) will try to win its second straight game Wednesday, as Pittsburgh (9-9, 1-4 Big East) comes into the Carrier Dome to take on the Orange at 7 p.m. SU has been strong all year on its home court, winning all but one game and defeating then-No. 6 Ohio State. Much of that is due to Alexander’s production early in the year — production she replicated in Saturday’s win. “Our physicality came out more in the West Virginia game,” Alexander said, referring to SU’s nine-point loss to then-No. 6 WVU in the game prior to Saturday’s win. “I think that’s the game that we said, ‘OK, we need to be more physical, we need to hand it back out.’” While Alexander struggled through Syracuse’s first four Big East games, one positive that came from those games was the inspired play of her backup, Shakeya Leary. The redshirt freshman is averaging 7.2 rebounds per game in Big East play. Leary only played 10 minutes against the Golden Eagles. But against a big, physical Pittsburgh team, Leary will be counted on to assist Alexander. “Having (Leary) out there is great,” Alexander

said. “She’s physical, she can do so much with the ball. She can attack you inside the post or a couple steps outside.” Syracuse’s rotation of three post players — Alexander, Leary and Iasia Hemingway — helped lead the team into the Top 25 earlier in the season. The three have keyed nearly every Orange victory, despite being young. Early Big East play has proven that without their production — especially without Alexander’s — SU is mediocre. Alexander has been held to single digits in three of Syracuse’s four losses, averaging just seven points per game in those contests. Compare that to the 16 points per game she averages in Syracuse wins this season, and it’s understandable why Hillsman insisted on spending so much time finding ways to get her the ball last week. “She’s a big part of our offense,” senior guard Erica Morrow said. “I know teams are doubling her, teams are being real physical with her down low. But Kayla’s responding well.” The Orange has outrebounded its opponents by an average of nearly 18 boards per game on the season. But until Saturday, Syracuse wasn’t as dominant on the boards in Big East games. The Orange outrebounded the Golden Eagles by a 41-29 margin, with Alexander and Hemingway both putting up double-doubles. Wednesday, Syracuse plays a Pittsburgh team that is 1-4 in Big East play this season. But Hillsman said the Panthers will provide a great challenge for SU due to its size as a team. Pitt center Leeza Burdgess is 6-foot-5, one inch taller than Alexander. It will be a challenge for SU to duplicate its success on the boards against the Panthers. “They’re a very tough team, and they have size,” Hillsman said. “This is one of the games where I can honestly say they are bigger than us at every position.” mcooperj@syr.edu

knew coming in that this is what we would have to do.” Syracuse is in the midst of a three-game tailspin after one of the best starts to a season in school history. Throughout an eight-minute press conference after the game, Boeheim kept returning to one theme: the play of his four veterans. It’s those four, Boeheim said, who need to lead SU out of its current funk. “For us to win, we have to be balanced,” Boeheim said. “For us to have balance, Brandon and Scoop have to play to the level that they played earlier in the year. Those guys are crucial for us.” Against the Pirates Tuesday, the quartet did what it could. Jackson finished with a doubledouble and an impressive six blocked shots. Joseph finished with a team-high 17 points, and Jardine and Triche each chipped in 11 points apiece. Yet it still wasn’t enough. Inefficiency on both sides of the ball sunk the Orange against a team it was heavily favored to beat. Boeheim said it wasn’t the defense — which allowed SHU to knock down its first seven shots of the game — that worried him. Early on, it was the Orange’s offensive cohesiveness. In each half, Syracuse struggled to get on the board.

playing defense bad.” Jeremy Hazell was the immediate differencemaker in Tuesday’s second meeting between the Orange and the Pirates. Hazell didn’t play the last time his Seton Hall squad squared off against Syracuse on Jan. 8, a game in which the Pirates started 0-of-17 from 3-point range. This time, Hazell was in the starting lineup and changed his team’s fortunes right from the opening tip. Fifteen seconds in, he got the ball beyond the 3-point line. Seventeen seconds in, there was no chance for another 0-of-17. “Any time someone gets hot, you need to make an adjustment,” sophomore forward

“Those four guys have to be there every night.” Jim Boeheim

SU HEAD COACH

“We can’t come out slow,” Triche said. “If we have to come from behind, we’re going to spend too much energy, and we’re probably going to run out of gas toward the end of the game. … Our starters have to play better earlier.” It’s not a concept the Orange has failed to embrace. The leaders of this year’s Syracuse team know it’s on them to return to the form that allowed SU to reel off 18 consecutive wins to start the season. Boeheim knows the four veterans on this year’s team have it in them. This is the same Syracuse team that was ranked No. 3 in the nation just a week ago. But 21 games into the season, the head coach is still reminiscent of the veteran leadership of last year’s team. Leadership that, in SU’s past

three games, has been lacking. “The teams that are winning have upperclass players, every one of them,” Boeheim said. “Every one of them has four or five upperclass veteran players. Our four veteran players have

got us to where we are, with a little bit of assistance some games. “Those four guys have to be there every night. They have to be there every night for us.”

James Southerland said. “Contain him a little more. We didn’t adjust.” The Orange’s failure to adjust let Hazell and a slew of other Pirates get hot early. On Seton Hall’s next possession — after Hazell’s opening 3-pointer — forward Fuquan Edwin hit a long jump shot from the right corner. Seton Hall made its next four shots, and then Jeff Robinson capped off the opening rally with a 3-pointer near the exact same spot where Hazell started it. Five minutes in, SU had given up a whopping 19 points. And though SU’s offense scored 11 points in that same span, it couldn’t keep up. And it was Hazell leading the charge with 14 first-half points. “We haven’t had Jeremy Hazell for two and a half months,” Seton Hall head coach Kevin Willard said. “When he’s out there, everybody looks

like a better shooter. Him being out there and playing against the zone was pretty nice.” At halftime, Seton Hall had scored 43 on the Orange defense — the second consecutive game an opponent has scored 40-plus fi rst-half points against Syracuse. And when the half was over, Seton Hall’s other numbers — along with the 43 points — told the story: 55.2 percent shooting and 63.6 percent 3-point shooting. And the Orange found itself trailing 43-30 at the break. Syracuse never threatened, failing to get any closer the rest of the way. “Same thing has happened these last three games,” Triche said. “They had a game plan — they followed it. We had a game plan — we didn’t follow it. The last three games, we’re just losing focus.”

The second half only pushed the Orange further back. There was never a comeback attempt, like against Pittsburgh and Villanova. Seton Hall scored the first seven points of the half and quickly built a 20-point lead. The Pirates, who lost at home Saturday to Rutgers, picked up its first win over a ranked team this season. A team that shoots 29 percent from 3-point range on the season made 10-of-17 tries Tuesday. At the end of his postgame press conference, Boeheim called into question the effort of his players. And in the Syracuse locker room, his players wouldn’t dispute that fact, either. “There’s really nothing you can do but move forward,” Jardine said. “But it’s unacceptable to play that way.”

With four players averaging double figures, that’s something that shouldn’t happen. Especially at home against an unranked team.

Joseph scored 16 of his points in the second half, but that was after the Pirates jumped out to a 50-30 lead. The damage had already been done.

Trailing by 13 at the half, the Orange came out just as flat to start the second. With 18:40 remaining, Herb Pope dunked the ball over SU forward James Southerland, drawing a foul in the process. He hit the ensuing free throw to extend the lead to 18. This was the highlight of a 7-0 run the Pirates used to start the second half and extend their lead to 20.

From the opening two minutes, during which Seton Hall jumped out to a 10-2 lead, it was obvious the Orange couldn’t compete. Once the Pirates jumped out to a 50-30 lead four minutes into the second half, it was all but over. This one is on Boeheim for not having his team better prepared.

Brooks remains lone bright spot for lowly Providence By Rachel Marcus Asst. Copy Editor

Marshon Brooks hesitated when asked about his season thus far. He thinks about the breakout year he is having — the best of his career — but he looks beyond personal success. Brooks also thinks about the state of his team — and that is where the story sours. “I always knew I could score, but my goal coming into the season was to actually try to average 20 points a game,” Brooks said. “And I see that I’m better than what I thought I was.” Brooks, a senior guard for Providence, is pouring in more than 20 points per game, but his Friars remain in the Big East basement. He is attracting national attention on an individual level despite the ongoing struggles of the Providence team overall. He can’t deny how great of a season he’s having. “I think if we would have won a lot more like the past, like my last year, where I averaged (14.2) points a game, I would have got more recognition preseason,” Brooks said. “But I’m starting to get a lot of recognition now.” That recognition comes from being the third leading scorer in the nation. His 23.6 points per game trail only Jimmer Fredette of BYU and Kemba Walker of Connecticut. He leads all scorers in Big East play with 24.6 points per game. But despite Brooks as its bright spot, the team continues to perform poorly. And that is the reason for Brooks’ hesitation when asked about success. His numbers alone aren’t enough to win games, as seen by the Friars’ 1-6 record in Big East play. In Providence’s first six games of league play (all losses), Brooks led the team in scoring. He had 27 points in the conference opener. Team highs of 20, 28, 29, 13 and 28 followed. “He’s become an all-around player and modi-

fied his game so that he can rebound, defend,” Providence head coach Keno Davis said. “And then as one of the nation’s top scorers, he hasn’t just been a shooter but somebody that can get to the free-throw line.” He’s basically had to do it all.

“I always knew I could score, but my goal coming into the season was to actually try to average 20 points a game. And I see that I’m better than what I thought I was.” Marshon Brooks

Providence guard

But that ability to do just about everything has been a bit surprising. Although Brooks averaged 14.2 points per game last year, there was little attention surrounding him coming into the season. And not just because of the lack of success on his team. “One of the great stories in the Big East is somebody that came in, even as a senior to Big East media day, and not many people were talking about him,” Davis said. “And he wasn’t on anybody’s first, second, third team. And then for him to have this kind of season, I think it shows a credit to him and his work ethic and his attitude coming into the year.” Davis, though, predicted a jump in Brooks’ scoring with nine freshmen on the Friars’ roster. But he couldn’t have predicted just how dominant he has been. Brooks leads the team in field goals made, 3-pointers made and free throws made and is tied for rebounds per game.

But the buzz around Brooks on a national level is still less than it normally would be. He knows it’s because his team hasn’t won many games. Those thoughts are echoed by Brooks’ teammate Vincent Council. But Council, the team’s second-leading scorer, said the positive effect Brooks has on the team shouldn’t be overlooked. Even with its dismal record. “He just shows leadership on the floor,” Council said. “He (makes) everybody stronger. He (helps) our scoring. Leadership off the court and on the court. In practice, he shows leadership to help us get better.” Brooks said he is playing more confidently and aggressively, which accounts for his trips to the free-throw line. But ultimately, he knows not just what he needs to stay focused on but also what his team needs to do to pick up some wins: rebounding and effort plays. If his team wins, maybe Brooks won’t hesitate so much about his individual accomplishments. Maybe he’ll be able to appreciate his achievements without having to focus on the overwhelming silver lining. “People know about Marshon Brooks,” Davis said. “And I know his focus right now is for us to see how many games we can win and then for him individually to keep improving on his game. “For him to play at that high level and keep his numbers up there has been a pleasant surprise for me.”

Georgetown has a Wednesday game against St. John’s, where it will look to win its third straight Big East game following a slow start to conference play. Villanova plays Providence on Wednesday before facing the Hoyas. Saturday’s game will be a matchup of teams fueled by their guards. For Villanova, it’s the Coreys (Fisher and Stokes) who both average over 15 a game. Georgetown’s Austin Freeman averages nearly 18.5 points a game, and Chris Wright averages 5.5 assists per game.

Orange assistant Bell takes on primary role in growth of Fox’s program By David Propper Staff Writer

Brien Bell likes to think about only one thing. Worrying about anything else just gets in his team’s way. Bell, the SU track and field assistant coach, doesn’t want to think about where he’ll be in 10 years or if he ever wants to be the head coach of his own college track program. Bell doesn’t even enjoy talking about his own pivotal role on the Orange. It all shows his dedication directed toward a Syracuse track program he’s helping improve day by day. “I think the moment you start thinking about my own individual goals is the moment that I’m not working at 100 percent of my maximum capacity,” Bell said. “To sit around and start thinking about myself is not going to work. I am very singularly focused on our goals and objectives here.” SU’s long-distance runners include Bell whenever they talk about head coach Chris Fox. When Fox got the job at Syracuse in 2005, he made sure to bring on Bell, about whom he heard only good things in running circles. Bell started off his coaching career at La Salle as an

assistant to head coach Charles Torpey. But Fox and Bell had plans to coach together for a while, Fox said. Since coming to Syracuse five and a half years ago, it’s been all Orange, all the time for Bell. His goal when he first arrived was simple: to win Big East titles and put the program in a position to win a national title. Long-distance runner Forrest Misenti said Bell separates himself from other assistant coaches with this steadfast mindset. “I think his motivation and focus (stand out),” he said. “He seems very motivated to get championships for this team and focused on getting those goals done. He brings that out in us.” Characterized as a “policeman” by Fox, Bell makes sure the athletes — particularly the longdistance runners — stay on track and do the work required to succeed. Bell said he likes to compare the team to the New England Patriots, the NFL team that thrives year after year through complete focus. Bell wants SU to be a little neater, a little tighter than other teams. Bell knows the team tries to maintain that mindset, but he also understands that he coaches college athletes, and sometimes

they’ll falter. That’s when he steps in. “When they start to slip, we like to think we’re there to remind them why they came here,” Bell said. While Bell is active in coaching the current

“(Bell’s) on that fast track. He certainly will be a guy that people would want in the next few years.” Chris Fox

SU head coach

track stars, he carries another important role for the program in looking for future track stars as the program’s head recruiter. When Fox brought Bell to Syracuse, Bell’s main job within the program was convincing high school runners to come to an ever-improving program. Bell estimates he makes the most phone calls out of the entire athletic program. His pitch to high school runners focuses on

the coach’s philosophy and training program, the passion everyone has on the team and how great the university is overall. He said the passion in the athletic department translates well for the athletes. But while Bell doesn’t like to focus on himself — preferring to only talk about what’s ahead for SU track and field — others within the program have no problem bragging about him. Misenti, a junior, said he’s improved with Bell’s tutelage. He’s learned how to cut down on the small things that hurt a runner and said he wouldn’t be surprised if Bell is calling the shots as the head coach of his own running program one day. “I feel like that’s the path he is going to go on,” Misenti said. “He definitely has the ability to do it.” Fox agrees with Misenti. For the same reason he brought Bell with him to Syracuse, he sees Bell’s future as a head coach. He has that passion to make a team better. “He’s on that fast track,” Fox said. “He certainly will be a guy that people would want in the next few years.” dgproppe@syr.edu

SU suffers worst home loss since 1998 to Pirates

CAPSIZED

By Brett LoGiurato

SPORTS EDITOR

o one attempted to alleviate Syracuse’s worst home loss in more than a decade. Not Jim Boeheim. Not his players. “The worst loss I’ve been a part of,” junior point guard Scoop Jardine said. It was a loss that stunned the Carrier Dome crowd into dazed silence. That made Boeheim question the effort of his players. That caused both the SU head coach and his players to admit to the shaken confidence that has come with a three-game losing streak. And it all came as the worst-shooting team in the Big East — Seton Hall — roared into the Dome and put up its best 3-point shooting performance of the season against Syracuse’s oncefeared 2-3 zone defense. The Pirates made their first seven shots — and first three 3-pointers — en route to shredding No. 9 SU’s zone early and taking a commanding lead into the half. Seton Hall (9-12, 3-6 Big East) didn’t slow down, pulling away in the second half for a 90-68 victory over the Orange (18-3, 5-3) in front of 21,950 inside the Dome on Tuesday. “To be honest, I’m a little disappointed in some of the effort tonight,” Boeheim said. “We’ll see what we can do about that.” The 22-point loss is Syracuse’s worst home loss since Feb. 7, 1998, when the same Seton Hall program beat the Orangemen 85-61 inside the Dome. And this season, after the second-best start in program history, Syracuse has now lost three consecutive Big East games. In all three of those losses, SU’s zone has been exposed and decimated. “Our defense is bad,” SU shooting guard Brandon Triche said. “I’m SEE SETON HALL PAGE 13

Tuesday marked only the sixth time in Jim Boeheim’s 35 years as head coach that Syracuse lost by 20-plus points inside the Carrier Dome. Here’s where the loss ranks all-time at home in the Boeheim era:

keith edelman | web editor SCOOP JARDINE (11) walks off the court in Syracuse’s 90-68 loss to Seton Hall Tuesday. The 22-point loss was SU’s worst at home since 1998 and the third straight loss for the Orange. After starting 18-0 and 5-0 in Big East play, SU now stands at 18-3 and 5-3 in the Big East.

After loss, Boeheim calls out recent play of Orange’s core 4 veterans By Andrew L. John STAFF WRITER

Unprompted by any question, Jim Boeheim took time out of his postgame press conference to make something clear. Boeheim felt the need to remind everyone that his Syracuse basketball program lost three great players from last season’s squad. And that although this year’s Orange has four

veterans who are left to shoulder the load, they haven’t done so on a consistent basis. That those four — Rick Jackson, Kris Joseph, Scoop Jardine and Brandon Triche — left a lot to be desired Tuesday. “Not good college players,” Boeheim said, referring to last year’s star trio of Wes Johnson, Andy Rautins and Arinze Onuaku. “Great college players.

“Scoop and Ricky and Kris and Brandon, they have not played like they did earlier in the year. We’ve got to get them playing better.” And just about anything would have been better than Tuesday’s performance, which led to the worst home loss for Syracuse in more than a decade. Seton Hall’s veteran starters came into the Carrier Dome and got the better of the No. 9 team in the

nation, just 17 days after the Orange won at SHU. Although all four key players for SU finished the game in double figures scoring-wise, they failed to guide Syracuse out of its recent losing streak. “At the end of the day, it’s on us, the leaders, the veterans on this team, to make a difference,” Joseph said. “We SEE VETERANS PAGE 13
