SA reflects on stalled status of two initiatives

“We chose UConn because it is the biggest game of the year,” Hanko said. “The more people we have coming to the game, the more people we have coming to our table.”

Matt Gartner, SU SIFE president and senior information management and technology and entrepreneurship and emerging enterprises

tudent Association members constantly work on initiatives, many of which have been successful in the past. However, in the last several semesters, two heavily discussed and well-known projects have been seemingly stalled by means outside the control of the representatives themselves.

SA President Dylan Lustig’s administration sat down to discuss initiatives, what inspires these proposals and the status of certain plans that have received much campuswide attention at Friday’s cabinet meeting. Several of these plans, including the cyber bullying and anti-smoking initiatives, have not resulted in tangible results.

During the last session of SA, the general assembly passed a resolution which acknowledged the presence of cyber bullying on campus, and stated that students should not tolerate it, said PJ Alampi, chair of the Student Life Committee.

Taylor Carr, chief of staff, said the point of passing the resolution was to call on the administration to change the code of conduct at SU, and make cyber bullying a form of harassment.

Carr said the codes do not say anything about cyber bullying, which makes it difficult to meet the requirements that classify something as harassment.

DOT campaign encourages sustainability at men’s basketball game

By Nicki Gorny STAFF WRITER

More than 400 people promised to take part in one small, sustainable act through the DOT campaign at the men’s basketball game against Connecticut on Saturday.

DOT, or Do One Thing, is a project of the Syracuse University Students in Free Enterprise. The campaign

promotes sustainability by asking everyone to commit to one small act toward economic, environmental or social betterment.

“It’s the sum of everyone’s DOTs that really makes the impact,” said Joe Hanko, a sophomore marketing and entrepreneurship and emerging enterprises major and co-project leader for DOT.

Saturday’s basketball game against UConn marked the “hard” launch of the DOT campaign, which was established at SU last year. SU SIFE members spread awareness of the campaign, before and during the game, by soliciting individual pledges, or DOTs, and offering visitors the opportunity to “Dunk a Husky” in the backcourt of the Dome.

Judge denies request to release basketball roster in defamation suit

By Marwa Eltagouri ASST. NEWS EDITOR

The request made by two of Bernie Fine’s accusers for Syracuse University to turn over a roster with the names of former basketball players was denied in a New York City court Friday.

Mariann Wang, the lawyer repre-

senting former ball boys Bobby Davis and Mike Lang, requested the roster in an attempt to keep the defamation lawsuit against men’s basketball head coach Jim Boeheim in New York City, according to a Feb. 10 article published by The Post-Standard.

The document would include the

names of all the basketball players from 1992 to 1997 and any information regarding the players who allegedly had an inappropriate relationship with Fine’s wife, Laurie.

State Supreme Court Justice Anil Singh rejected the request. Singh said the information Wang desired

was not relevant to the request from Boeheim and SU to change the venue of the case to Onondaga County, according to the article.

Gloria Allred, the high-profile lawyer representing Davis and Lang, released an affidavit last week in which Davis claimed he knew the

names of at least three players who allegedly had sexual relations with Laurie Fine. The plaintiffs argued the players’ names were necessary to see if any of them lived in New York City so that the case could remain downstate.

NATIONAL BRIEFS • Best-selling artist Whitney Houston was found dead Saturday in a Beverly Hills, Calif., hotel, according to a Feb. 12 article by The Associated Press.

Houston was 48 years old. The cause of death is unknown.

Houston, a Grammy award-winning singer and actress, was at the hotel to attend and perform at Clive Davis’ pre-Grammy party later that night. She was seen rehearsing for the performance Thursday and appeared “disheveled, was sweating profusely and liquor and cigarettes could be smelled on her breath,” according to the article.

Houston struggled with drug and alcohol abuse near the end of her career and divorced singer Bobby Brown in 2007. She was honored at Sunday’s Grammy Awards in a tribute by singer Jennifer Hudson.

• Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell said he will push to overturn President Barack Obama’s birth control mandate, citing “constitutional problems” in the plan and calling it an example of government meddling, according to a Feb. 12 article by the AP. Last week, Obama backed down on a mandate that religious-affiliated employers cover birth control in health insurance plans. Employees would be offered free coverage directly from the health insurer, but employers would not provide or pay for it. Though some Catholic groups supported the plan, others said it was an attack on religious freedom.

The White House said the plan will not increase costs because birth control is cheaper than pregnancy.

• Lawmakers voted in favor of new austerity measures early Monday to save Greece from defaulting on its debt next month, according to a Feb. 12 article by the AP. The measures allow for Greece’s European partners and the International Monetary Fund to release $170 billion in new rescue loans.

The voting occurred after rioters in Athens set fire to buildings, looted shops and struggled with police Sunday. The riots broke out after more than 100,000 protesters marched to rally against decreased civil service jobs and cuts to the minimum wage.

Greece has survived on a $145 billion bailout from its European partners and the IMF since May 2010.

• The leader of al-Qaeda backed revolting citizens in Syria and called for the end of the country’s “pernicious, cancerous regime,” according to a Feb. 12 article by the AP. Al-Qaeda chief Ayman al-Zawahri called upon Muslims to support Syrian rebels in an eight-minute video message released Saturday.

The Syrian regime placed blame on terrorists for the 11-monthlong revolt. The Arab League called for the U.N. Security Council to create a peacekeeping force for Syria, but it was rejected by Damascus.

Brother of Sales on probation

Hoop tricks

jenny jakubowski | staff photographer

HAMMER HARRISON, member of The World Famous Harlem Globetrotters, performed at the Carrier Dome on Friday. The Globetrotters are known for their comedic shows filled with unique basketball tricks. They have appeared in their own movies and TV shows, performed in 120 countries and were inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame, according to their website. Tens of thousands of people around the world have seen them perform, including past presidents and popes.

Tickets were sold to SU students, staff and faculty for a discounted price, ranging from $15.25-$34.25.

The brother of Marcus Sales, Syracuse University wide receiver, was sentenced to five years’ probation Friday for a drug case that kept his brother from playing this past season, according to The Post-Standard.

Michael Sales Jr., 25, pleaded guilty to a felony count of criminal possession of a controlled substance in December, admitting that he had possession of hydrocodone with the intent to sell it, according to the Feb. 10 article.

County Judge Anthony Aloi told Michael he had a “moral obligation” to his siblings not to involve them in trouble that would damage their reputations, according to the article.

Sales, 21, and his brother were arrested July 29 after they were pulled over for running a red light near Midland Avenue and Ballantyne Road in Syracuse. Sales was driving the car.

Police found 180 Lortab (hydrocodone and acetaminophen) tablets, three knotted pieces of plastic containing a green plant-like substance that tested positive for marijuana, a plastic cup containing gin, three digital scales and other plastic bags.

Sales faced charges of fifth- and seventh-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance, seconddegree criminally using drug paraphernalia, unlawful possession of marijuana and violating the city’s open container law. He was suspended from the team soon thereafter.

The felony drug charges against Sales were dropped in October when a grand jury ruled there was a lack of evidence after his brother took responsibility for the drugs found in the vehicle, according to the article.

Sales is currently a senior in the David B. Falk College of Sport and Human Dynamics. egsawyer@syr.edu

Boeheim Foundation hopes to win $100,000 for charity

By David Propper STAFF WRITER

Jim Boeheim has won on the basketball court for most of this season.

Now he’s searching for a victory off the court as well.

Boeheim, along with other coaches at top basketball schools around the nation, is participating in “Infiniti

Coaches’ Charity Challenge” in hopes of winning $100,000 for the charity of their choice. The designated charity for Syracuse University is the Jim and Juli Boeheim Foundation.

Juli Boeheim, co-founder of the foundation and wife of the SU head men’s basketball coach, is certainly enthusiastic about what the $100,000

could do for the foundation. Juli Boeheim said fans can directly affect the outcome of this competition.

“On the court we can’t do much,” she said. “This is all about the fans.

Totally fan regulated.”

The voting started Jan. 18 and will last throughout an eight-week period. There are four different

brackets for the 48 teams competing in the tournament. Throughout the first six weeks, all teams are still included in the competition. After the sixth week, the leader from each bracket moves onto the final four round. In the eighth and final round, a winner will be determined.

carly reeve | staff photographer SA members, along with President Dylan Lustig’s cabinet, worked to pass the cyberbullying and smoke-free initiatives, but they were stalled by the SU administration.

INITIATIVES FROM PAGE 1

Alampi said SA is looking to eventually create a program to educate students on cyber bullying and how to prevent it to be presented to fraternities and sororities and incoming students during orientation. The program would be crafted with the help of the LGBT resource center, Residence Hall Association and the PanHellenic Council.

He said there is no set date for the program to launch, as the opinions of different groups are still being discussed.

Although the association is hoping to see changes in the near future, Carr said the last time he checked on the issue after passing it on to the administration, they were still consulting with their lawyers, meaning there has yet to be an official change.

The next step in the process is to consult with administrators at the Office of Judicial Affairs, whom Carr initially discussed the changes with, he said.

“There are policy and education sides: policy is changing the code of conduct and education is informing people there is a prevalence of it, and what they can do to stand up to it,” Carr said.

Another stalled project is the smoke-free campus initiative. Alampi said there is currently no movement within the association concerning the proposed program.

“The program is at an administrative stand still,” Alampi said.

Jessica Cunnington, former vice president during the 55th session, spearheaded the smokefree initiative after being approached by Colleges for Change, an organization that works with college campuses to take a vow to be smoke-free or limit smoking, she said in an interview after the cabinet meeting.

“It seemed bigger than the average initiative, like sending buses to Wegman’s,” Cunnington said.

Two semesters ago, the organization approached SU and SA to conduct its own research collecting opinions of smoking on campus from approximately 3,000 to 4,000 students, Cunnington said.

SA soon formed a committee to work on the proposition of creating limitations for smoking, Cunnington said. The purpose of the committee was to go out to the student community and get verbal feedback.

The committee received mixed results, Cunnington said.

“Some students didn’t like walking through the clouds of smoke in front of Bird Library, but other students were like, ‘It is my right to

smoke,’” she said.

The committee began to draft different solutions and present them to a larger committee that SA had become a part of in the University Senate, called the Health and Wellness Committee, Cunnington said.

SA proposed several different options to the USen committee, like creating designated smoking stations or placing a ban on how closely people could be to buildings while smoking, Cunnington said.

Cunnington said she expected to receive the results from USen after the final meeting

“The program is at an administrative standstill.”

PJ Alampi

CHAIR OF THE STUDENT LIFE COMMIT TEE

during the spring 2011 semester. However, the summer passed, as did the following fall semester, with no word of development. She said the initiative essentially disintegrated.

“Maybe now isn’t the right time, there is no overwhelming majority here and maybe students thought other things were more important,” Cunnington said. “Maybe the school is too big for something like this, and such a general decision.”

Cunnington said SA did what it had to do to advance the initiative the best they could before it was consumed by the administration.

During the Friday cabinet meeting, Allie Curtis, SA vice president, said it is important to note that SA now has enough people to make a change. “Even though we are 30 percent less full than last semester, and we are still working to get the number back up, we have hard-working, quality people to get things done,” she said.

In the past, initiatives were dropped after members left SA. In response to this, Lustig’s cabinet is making changes to the way initiatives are conducted. Members will note the people in charge, as well as the initiatives’ progress, to ensure they do not get dropped, Alampi, the chair of the Student Life Committee said.

With this system, initiatives will be thoroughly documented so that someone new can assume the role of conducting the operation, Alampi said. This way, students will not be negatively affected if a member leaves the assembly, and progress can continue from one session to the next.

Said Curtis: “We are tracking them, step-bystep, to see how much has been completed and how much closer we are to implementing this change.” rebarill@syr.edu

IDE AS

Poor free speech ranking should be worrisome for SU officials At the University Senate open forum Wednesday, a faculty member raised concerns about the university’s free speech ranking. The librarian wanted to know how the ranking would affect application numbers for incoming students.

Chancellor Nancy Cantor said application numbers have not been affected by the ranking. In January 2011, after an incident in the College of Law, Syracuse University was named the worst school for free speech by the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education, an organization that polices individual freedoms in higher education. The organization became involved again when an issue arose in the School of Education last month.

FIRE’s vice president of programs said he expects SU to remain at the top of the worst schools for free speech .

Regardless of whether the rankings are affecting student application numbers, it poses a problem for SU.

EDITORIAL by the daily orange editorial board If the trend of incidents involving free speech continues, it may have an effect on application numbers.

Students will not want to come to a school that has poor free speech rankings because it can make an uncomfortable learning environment. The two incidents made headlines and applicants across the country could have heard about it.

To help alleviate this issue and stop SU from continuing to be ranked as the worst school for free speech, individual school and college codes need to be more clearly stated. School and college administrators need to make clear to students where these policies can be found. While it is expected for codes and policies to vary from school to school — to fit the different majors and missions of the schools — clarity for students is key.

Proposition 8 ruling proves majority should not have rule over others

roposition 8, a passed California ballot initiative, was declared unconstitutional last week, allowing same-sex couples the opportunity to be married. The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled the initiative was unconstitutional because it tried to unnecessarily deny rights to a particular group.

Some conservatives disagree with the ruling and say the will of the people was trampled on by the ruling.

Michael Graham, a talk show host on WTKK-FM in Boston, said our rights are all voted upon. In 2007, he argued the people of Massachusetts should decide whether to legalize gay marriage, not the state Supreme Court.

When it comes to rights, the majority does not always have the ability to impose its will on others. Simply because a majority of Californians

to the left, to the left wanted to define marriage as between one man and one woman does not mean the law should reflect it.

Imagine if the people of the United States had directly voted and had the final say on issues of other’s rights. Slavery could have continued for much longer. Whether women should be able to vote could have been decided by the entire male voting population. African-Americans might not have had their right to vote protected by the Constitution. These

advances could have come later or not at all. In all these cases, the people did not vote — elected representatives did. If people had voted, outcomes could have been worse.

Allowing the public to vote on critical issues like the ability to vote or to marry does not seem to be the best way to ensure equality under the law. It frustrates conservatives like Graham who believe that by granting authority to the government to decide certain matters is a dismissal of the voting public. The government, in this case, is fairer at making decisions than ordinary citizens. This is not acceptable to many conservatives.

Graham wrote on his blog about those who advocate for same-sex marriage. “Who do they think cast the ballots in favor of the nineteenth Amendment granting women the

right to vote? Obviously not the ladies,” he wrote. “Gay marriage advocates are utterly wrong on rights.

The fact is, every civil right we enjoy today was approved by the free people through the democratic process.”

What Graham and others who disagree with the ruling fail to remember is Californians who are gay had the right to marry. Then the people voted to take that right away.

The purpose of the ballot initiative, as the court decided, was for no other reason than to discriminate.

Judge Stephen Reinhardt wrote in the opinion, “Proposition 8 serves no purpose, and has no effect, other than to lessen the status and human dignity of gays and lesbians in California, and to officially reclassify their relationships and families as inferior to those of opposite-sex couples.”

Others who disagreed with the court’s ruling generally are against gay marriage for a variety of reasons similar to the standard arguments.

Those who resist the expansion of gay rights will be judged in a similar way to those who resisted the right for people of two different races to marry.

By all indications, this case will be appealed to the federal Supreme Court for a final ruling. The sooner all Americans realize being gay is not a preference or alternative lifestyle, other issues may be addressed. The population overall might not agree with gay marriage, but as more states legalize it, Americans will figure out progress toward equality will not stop.

A journey back to Guatemala turned into a cultural exploration project for photographer Efren Lopez. It inspired him to connect the Latino community with the art world for his new local photo exhibit.

The Syracuse University student and U.S. Air Force photographer opened the small collection of photographs, “The Photographer as a Child: Memories of Guatemala,” Jan. 27 at the La Casita Cultural Center.

Lopez said it wasn’t until he traveled back to Guatemala that he realized how much he had lost from his past, which gave him the urge to document his homeland from the perspective of a child. He said he started seeing himself in the kids, which brought back his childhood memories.

“That kid is me when I was his age,” he said about his photo of a smiling boy looking out a window. “I was just happy to enjoy life — poor, but happy.”

The exhibit features a small memoir of his life growing up in Guatemala next to each photo so others can read the artist’s thoughts as he experienced his return home. It begins with a portrait of an elderly woman that Lopez said reminds him of his grandmother.

Lopez immigrated to the United States with his family at age 7. He said he went to school for the first time after moving into the country, though he struggled throughout high school and community college.

“Art was the only thing I was good at,” Lopez said.

After helping his mother and family for many years, Lopez said he decided to join the military to continue helping others. He joined the Air Force Reserve in 1998 and became a photographer.

“I wanted to help people in military humanitarian missions, like the military helped us in the earthquake.”

Efren Lopez

SU STUDENT AND AIR FORCE PHOTOGRAPHER

Lopez recalled a time when his family was deported back to Guatemala. Shortly after being back, the earthquake of 1976 struck the nation. He said he remembers standing in line for food as the U.S. military provided aid to him and his neighbors.

“I wanted to help people in military humanitarian missions, like the military helped us in the earthquake,” Lopez said.

Lopez said his life came full circle during his military service. He has been on several disaster relief missions around the world with the U.S. military. He also served a combat tour in Afghanistan.

Now, Lopez said, his education has taken center stage. After years of applying to the SU military photojournalism program, which is considered the best advanced photography training for active-duty service members by the military, Lopez became the first reservist accepted.

“I did not believe it,” Lopez said. “I never thought I would be able to get in.”

In one class, Lopez said, he was assigned to interview a well-known photographer of his choice, but he found it difficult to find one with Latin roots who connected with his culture.

Because of this, he said, he decided to continue his documentation of the Latin world so he could help bridge that gap and be a role model for Latinos in the art world.

Simon Perez, a broadcast and digital journalism professor, is a first-generation American with immigrant parents from England and Spain. He said he can identify with Lopez’s cultural experience.

“It’s interesting the way he has a dual country experience,” Perez said. “His foreign background easily relates to me and others.”

Lopez said he will graduate from the SU military photojournalism program in May and return to his reserve unit at March Air Reserve Base in California to continue his service with the military. He said he plans to produce a coffee table book of his work from Guatemala, which will include an in-depth memoir.

Luz Encarnacion, a native of Puerto Rico and community activist, said encouraging children to become culturally aware helps kids make good decisions, become professionals and further themselves.

“I was very impressed,” Encarnacion said.

“The meaning of the pictures is what I want to bring to my community.” vherna02@syr.edu

Ape-idemic Research shows chimpanzee, gorilla death rates affected by human disease

By Shannon Hazlitt

R

STAFF WRITER

esearcher Sadie Ryan was about 50 meters away from the crowd of wild chimps, who screeched and scampered through the dense African forest.

“We didn’t even know they were there, and suddenly they just started shouting,” said Ryan, an assistant professor of ecology at the State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry.

Such experiences contributed to Ryan’s enduring interest in primates. Her passion led her to become the lead author of a scientific article revealing how contagious diseases became a major threat to the survival of African great apes.

“I’ve been keen on primates and infectious disease ecology for a long time,” Ryan said. “The infectious disease realm is just part of a bigger story of conservation biology.”

Since 2008, Ryan worked with researchers at the University of California-Santa Barbara as well as an ecologist at the University of Cambridge to compile information for the article titled, “Consequences of Non-Intervention for Infectious Disease in African Great Apes,” currently published in the online journal PLos ONE. The increasing death rates of African great apes, from human sicknesses, are as threatening to African gorillas and chimpanzees as poaching and wildlife destruction, according to the article. Human illnesses as mild as the cold or flu could have a large effect on apes, Ryan said.

Such illnesses can be a result of increasing human tourism.

“The problem is the more tourism you have, the more likely you are to get some of these disease spill-over events, where someone with the flu will get too close and cough near a gorilla,” Ryan said.

Will Helenbrook, a graduate student at ESF studying conservation biology, is also interested in how people are playing a role in increasing the risk of great apes contracting human diseases.

Helenbrook said he uses primate and parasite DNA samples from scat in lab tests to determine how humans are affecting primate populations through environmental destruction, increases in human populations near wildlife preserves, and the meat and pet trades,

“One disease could devastate an entire population.”

Will Helenbrook

SUNY-ESF GRADUATE STUDENT STUDYING CONSERVATION BIOLOGY

These factors could cause less variation in ape populations, or more instances of inbreeding, Helenbrook said.

“One disease could devastate an entire population,” he said.

The team also found that more dangerous sicknesses for humans, such as the potentially fatal Ebola virus, would harm a great ape population for more than 130 years. In fact, the population may never

recover from such an outbreak, Ryan said.

Ryan said the data needed to conduct these demonstrations is difficult to find.

“Finding sick animals in the wild is very hard. It takes a lot of intensive field work to know these animals so well,” she said.

Limiting tourism is an arguable way to protect chimps and gorillas from increasingly deadly human diseases, Ryan said. But, she said, it could be very difficult to keep tourists who paid thousands of dollars to see African chimps or gorillas away.

Decreasing tourism is an arguable solution that may be impractical, as it could also reduce the money going toward conservation efforts and increase poaching, among other risks, according to the article.

Another controversial solution for the protection of the apes is vaccination, which has worked in the past for illnesses that already have effective human vaccinations, such as measles, Ryan said.

But for more complic ated respiratory sicknesses, taking this interfering step to African apes would be expensive and could have unknown results, she said.

“We don’t even really have these vaccinations right for humans yet,” she said.

Organizations focusing on strengthening populations by preventing hunting and protecting habitats are solutions that Helenbrook said he thinks would be successful by decreasing inbreeding and apes’ stress levels.

Ryan is contacting major conservation NGOs, including the Wildlife Conservation Society, among others.

Another noninterventionist way to protect the African great apes is to initiate health programs for communities surrounding the apes’ habitats. These programs would include hygiene education and installing better water filters in communities, Ryan said.

Said Ryan: “We want to put this information out there and show, in very simple terms, that very big impacts happen, and we need to be aware of them.” smhazlit@syr.edu

major, said he was pleased with the turnout.

He said the 400 DOTs collected Saturday mark just more than 20 percent of the total number of DOTs collected within the last year.

DOTs are submitted to the website dotoncampus.com, which analyzes each DOT to quantify an overall effect, said Josh Fishman, co-project leader for DOT and senior marketing and entrepreneurship and emerging enterprises major.

“By committing to turn off the water when you brush your teeth, each person saves 22 gallons of water each week,” Fishman said, “so if you multiply that by the 30,000 people in the Dome today, you see the larger impact.”

Fishman said DOTs may be social, like a commitment to serve in a soup kitchen for a few hours each month, or economic, like a monthly donation to a charity.

Mobile platforms like iPads and smartphones allowed SU SIFE members to collect DOTs at the DOT table in the backcourt and throughout the venue.

The dunk tank, which offered anyone who donated to the World Wildlife Fund the chance to throw a ball at a target and dunk an SU SIFE member in a UConn T-shirt, was intended to attract people to the DOT table, Fishman said.

The dunk tank raised more than $600 dollars for WWF, whose mission aligns well with that of SU SIFE, Fishman said.

“What is great about tabling at the Dome … is that we are able to talk to people who are not necessarily from Syracuse University and that increases our audience,” Hanko said. “We can really reach out to the community in that way.”

SU SIFE worked closely with the Dome staff to implement the initiative, said Peter Sala, senior associate athletics director for facility operations and Carrier Dome managing director.

Sala said he had several meetings with SU SIFE representatives to coordinate the table and dunk tank, loudspeaker announcements and the printing of the DOT logo on tickets.

DOT developed from a weekend of collabora-

tion and brainstorming between SU students and representatives from communications company Saatchi & Saatchi two years ago.

Hanko said DOT adapted an existing campaign directed toward corporate sustainability to a more campus-oriented campaign.

After largely focusing on the SU campus last year, the DOT campaign aims to spread nationally and has already partnered with Washington University, the University of Virginia and New York University, Hanko said.

Hanko said reaching out on both a campus level and a national level is important.

Said Hanko: “These sustainable practices really add up, and they have a big quantitative impact.” nagorny@syr.edu

WHAT ARE DOTS?

DOTs are part of an initiative to promote sustainability by asking people to commit to one small act toward economic, environmental or social benefit. SU’s basketball game against UConn on Saturday was the mark of the project’s “hard” launch, which was established at SU last year. SU Students in Free Enterprise spread awareness of the campaign, before and during the game, by soliciting individual pledges, or DOTs, and offering visitors the opportunity to “Dunk a Husky” in the backcourt of the Dome.

DOTs are submitted online, where each DOT is analyzed to quantify an overall effect. If you’re interested in submitting a DOT, visit dotoncampus.com.

BOEHEIM FROM PAGE 3

Syracuse is in the East region and, as of Sunday night, is in third place with 11 percent of the vote. The teams in front of SU are coach John Calipari of Kentucky, leading with 34 percent of the vote, and coach Bob Huggins of West Virginia with 31 percent of the vote. The first period of voting ends Feb. 27.

“I can’t believe Kentucky fans and West Virginia fans are beating us,” Juli Boeheim said.

While Juli Boeheim admits Syracuse has a lot of ground to make up, she said she has faith that the SU fan base and members around the Syracuse community can make up that margin during the home stretch of voting.

Juli Boeheim said Syracuse would win the contest if the students, among the more than 33,000 fans supporting the Orange at the game against Connecticut on Saturday, voted.

If Syracuse were to win, the money would go to the Boeheims’ foundation, which was founded two years ago. The mission statement on the foundation Web page is to enrich the lives of kids in need within the Central New York community. In addition, the charity also provides support for eliminating cancer through research and advocacy.

Juli Boeheim said if the foundation won the $100,000, it would stay right in the community. She said the fans and community members

would even decide where that money goes, as long as it stays within the foundation’s mission statement and complies with NCAA rules.

“Within the guidelines, we would like the community to have a say where we put the dollars,” Juli Boeheim said.

“I like any sort of awareness we can get.

Win or lose, we’ve raised our awareness for sure.”

CO-FOUNDER OF THE JIM AND JULI BOEHEIM FOUNDATION

She said if the contest has done anything, it has raised publicity for the foundation. She said just by logging onto www.ESPN.com/Infiniti, voters can cast their ballot and see all the different coaches’ charities.

“I like any sort of awareness we can get,” Juli Boeheim said. “Win or lose, we’ve raised our awareness for sure.”

Still, the ultimate goal is to come out on top and walk away with $100,000 for a foundation that Juli Boeheim said has been so successful up to this point.

“The needs are huge out there in the community,” she said. “And the $100,000 could go a very long way right here in Syracuse.” dgproppe@syr.edu

Fine, who was fired from the university Nov. 27, has denied the allegations and has not been charged. Federal agents and the Syracuse Police Department continue to investigate. meltagou@syr.edu

Speed dating event plays matchmaker for student body

By Taylor Procopio CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Love was in the air at the Schine Goldstein Auditorium on Thursday when Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity hosted its fourth annual speed-dating event.

There was a nervous energy in the auditorium as the guys waited for their first dates.

Romantic music blared from overhead speakers. As the girls shuffled into the auditorium, the guys started cheering.

Inspired by the movie “Hitch,” this speeddating event, hosted by Alpha Phi Alpha in collaboration with Sigma Alpha Epsilon and Delta Kappa Epsilon, gave student pairs about five minutes to talk and get to know each other. Speed dating involves fast-paced conversations in which two people exchange basic information and then determine if they want to see the other person again.

When the lights flashed, women moved to the table next to them, where they found a new, eager man waiting. As daters went from table to table, moving became chaotic and hectic. But over time, the transitions went

smoothly and everyone found their dates.

Many participants were members of sororities and fraternities, but the event was open to the whole university.

Speed dating does suggest matchmaking, but this event garners other positive results, said Joseph Iluore, event coordinator and member of Alpha Phi Alpha. Iluore, a senior biology major, said the fraternity hosts the event annually to give students the opportunity to make connections with diverse people they might not have met otherwise.

Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity hosted the event on its own for its first two years. Last year, the fraternity teamed up with SAE for the first time.

“Basically, we try to create a campus environment that’s diversified and integrated,” Iluore said.

The student attendees expressed excitement for the event. When the girls entered the room, they danced and sang along with the music on the radio.

“I thought it would be a good idea to broaden my horizons, get out of my comfort zone

and meet more people,” said Perry Feld, a sophomore in the College of Arts and Sciences.

Her friend, Riali Austin, a sophomore advertising and policy studies dual major, decided to come with her.

“We wanted to meet some new people,” Austin said. “We heard that it was a fun experience, and everyone told us great stories about it.”

As the event progressed, students became considerably more lively and comfortable with one another. Many met new friends, some met up with old friends and others met potential new dates.

Although speed dating is an incentive, Iluore said that it’s the networking between students that really counted.

The brothers of the fraternity aimed to break the Guinness World Records’ record for the most speed dates in one night. They missed it by about 50 people.

“Last year, we had about 500 people. This year, our goal was to get 600 people to come,” Iluore said.

But some daters achieved their goal of find-

ing a date for the next night, including Feld.

“I met a really nice guy,” Feld said. “He was super funny and really charming. He gave me his phone number, so we’re gonna go out, and I’m really excited!” tlprocop@ syr.edu

Monologue series allows women to address gender issues, taboo topics

F

By Daniel Taroy STAFF WRITER

rom the pews of Hendricks Chapel, the audience watched Sami Kay stand up from her seat onstage and move to the forefront, clutching her cue cards.

Silence filled the room. She held her ground with an intake of breath that foretold something important, something emphatic.

“My vagina’s angry,” she declared fiercely, her energy echoing and lin-

gering throughout the chapel. “It’s pissed off. My vagina’s furious, and it needs to talk.”

As the cast of women sitting onstage proved, Kay, a sophomore television, radio and film major, wasn’t the only one who needed to talk. Female students of different ages and majors shared stories of female struggle and celebration.

This weekend’s four-performance run of “The Vagina Monologues” was produced by Students Advocat-

ing Sexual Safety and Empowerment, an on-campus feminist organization that encourages safe-sex practices and works to prevent violence. All proceeds went to Vera House, Planned Parenthood of the Rochester/Syracuse region and the Advocacy Center at Syracuse University.

The 21 monologues featured in the show dealt with themes of sex, love, rape, orgasm, masturbation, mutilation and menstruation all relating to the eponymous female organ. The

monologues are part of V-Day, a global activist movement to stop violence against women and girls. Co-director Eliana Gross said the driving force behind the show is to tell stories of a taboo subject.

“We want people to understand that these are things that need saying, and they need saying over and over again, until it’s no longer taboo or inappropriate to talk about,” said Gross, a senior child and family stud-

Student film festival reels in talent, screens diverse topics

By Rob Marvin STAFF WRITER

Heroin addicts, a mental patient lost in fantasies, a student whose screenplays come to life, an animated graphic novel about friendship and finding the perfect woman.

Those were just some of the topics of the student films shown at the first SyRECuse Film Festival.

The 17 films were screened in succession starting at 7:30 p.m. Friday, Feb. 10, in Gifford Auditorium, each work different from the last.

UU Cinemas co-directors Lindsey

Colegrove and Tenaysia Fox said they were happy with the festival and appreciative of the students who took time out of their Friday nights to attend.

“I think it went pretty well. It’s more than we could’ve asked for on a Friday night when most people would be at a party,” Fox said.

Some documentaries commented on the Iraq War, poverty, the life of a mentally disabled sex offender and exploring a haunted abandoned factory. Other films included a comedy about guys trying to pick up women

at a house party, a romance between a janitor and a mermaid, and even a short Obama campaign ad.

A committee made of members of UU Cinemas, Obscure Cinema Society and independent company Rylaxer that co-organized and sponsored the festival whittled down the entries to determine the first- and second-place prizes. The two winners were chosen by three judges: television, radio and film professors David Coryell and Keith Giglio and English department teaching assistant Joseph Hughes.

The event’s attendees appeared captivated by the unique opportunity to view student films they would otherwise never see. The event was marked by moments like intense sobbing during “Follow My Steps” and uncontrollable laughter as student actors acted foolish on the dance floor in “The Peter Zone.”

“When you’re motivated to be creative it can be really exciting, and the festival is a great creative outlet,” said Kyle Kuchta, a junior film major, vice president of Obscure Cinema Society and co-creator of

one of the screened films.

His film, “The Peter Zone,” was a spoof on “The Twilight Zone.” It depicted three awkward guys trying to dance with girls at a house party.

The audience chuckled throughout as the narrator ridiculed the boys’ hilarious pickup antics.

First prize, a ticket package to the Tribeca Film Festival in New York City, went to S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications graduate student Andrew Hida for his documentary “Follow My Steps.”

Fashion industry should strive to revamp standards on ideal body image

M

odel Coco Rocha recalled the horrifying instructions she received when she entered the modeling industry as a 15-year-old.

“I felt pressure early in my career,” Rocha said in a 2011 article on the Vogue Daily blog.

“I was told: ‘The look this year is anorexic. We don’t want you to be anorexic, just look it.’”

With Fashion Week in full swing in New York City from Feb. 9-16, the issue of eating disorders and the intense pressure placed on young models is again being brought into the limelight.

The standard high-fashion models walking in New York now range from size 0 to 4. At the moment, a size 6 is considered plus size.

The season’s hottest color may change every few months, but the fashion world’s attitude toward the size of models has been thoroughly ingrained for many years.

In response, the Council of Fashion Designers of America released a statement just before Fashion Week as part of its health initiative. In 2007, the CFDA began to address unhealthy thinness and eating disorders in fashion models. Working with people like Rocha, the group has set guidelines for the designers that are part of the CFDA to help models and to raise awareness.

FILM FESTIVAL F RO M PAG E 15

It follows the moving story of the friendship between Tony, a 20 year-old with brittle bone disease, and Andrew, a 12-year-old with muscular dystrophy. Both confined to wheelchairs for most of their lives, they each understand the agony and discomfort the other endures daily.

It was a story of best friends supporting each other, even if just by playing games on their Xbox. The auditorium echoed with applause as the credits rolled. Hida was unable to attend the festival, so UU Cinemas accepted

ies major.

This year marks Gross’ first time as a codirector during her three-year involvement with the monologues, based on an episodic play written by Eve Ensler. She notes that not much has changed throughout the show’s tenure except that the cast grows and becomes more diverse each year. Though this year’s cast did not feature faculty performers, she said so many women auditioned that the cast split in two, with each cast member performing two shows.

Gross said the monologues and SASSE provide a safe space for women.

“Performing in this show was where I made the most friends and the most meaningful and lasting relationships.”

For this year’s show, performers sat onstage in black and red clothing, colors attached to the V-Day campaign led by Ensler. They helped create a sense of visual cohesiveness and unity among all the performers, said Carolyn Glavin, a junior illustration major and twotime participant in “The Vagina Monologues.”

This year she performed “Hair” and “A 6-YearOld Girl Was Asked.”

The performances enthralled the cast and audience alike. They laughed during “My Angry Vagina,” a tirade against the injustices of tampons and obstetricians against the vagi-

still judging you One focus of the initiative is only casting models who are 16 or older for runway shows.

The CFDA encourages designers and casting agents to ask all models for their ages because young models are especially susceptible to industry ideals of being thin.

In a 2011 interview on Anderson Cooper’s talk show “Anderson,” Rocha explained that girls pursuing modeling careers leave high school and their parents just as their bodies and minds are beginning to develop.

“They’re not told, well, you’re supposed to change. You’re supposed to get hips and boobs, and you’re supposed to turn into a woman,” Rocha said.

Without guidance, young models often develop eating disorders. In this year’s health initiative statement, the CFDA describes warning signs of eating disorders and encourages

the prize on his behalf.

Second place went to sophomore film majors Patrick Cook and Mark Olin for their film “Searching for Winnie Cooper.” The film was about a man looking for the perfect woman, the Winnie Cooper to his Kevin Arnold for those familiar with his favorite television show, “The Wonder Years.”

Viewers never did find out if he got the girl.

Technical difficulties stopped them from viewing the last few minutes, though Cook and Olin promised to post the film on YouTube. The pair received a prize package from Rylaxer, including a portable couch, a blanket, DVDs and popcorn.

na. Some cried during “My Vagina Was My Village,” a monologue comprising testimonies from raped Bosnian women.

“Women have faced oppression and placement in submissive roles throughout history,” said Emma Smelkinson, a sophomore sociology major. “The monologues strive to overcome those gendered boundaries.”

Smelkinson, a first-time performer in the monologues with “The Little Coochi Snorcher That Could,” said that though the message behind the monologues hasn’t changed, audiences seem to be more receptive and accepting than in the past. Some may never fully understand the subject matter, but she said she hopes that more will recognize the need for activism.

Audience members echoed Smelkinson’s call for activism. Arlene Lammy, a sophomore English education major in the secondary program and repeat viewer of “The Vagina Monologues,” pointed out the significance of the production.

The show doesn’t fixate on individual age, race, beliefs, religion or social standing.

“It’s just about being a woman,” Lammy said. “It’s time to start breaking down these barriers and allowing women to be proud of our minds, bodies and feelings.”

Chelsea Stahl, a sophomore photojournalism major, read the published version of “The Vagina Monologues” in high school. She said seeing a live production onstage for the first time was much more dynamic — it involved the audience more.

the fashion industry to help with early detection and treatment.

The initiative’s efforts are admirable, but the CFDA’s position has its limitations. The statement admits that the health initiative “is about awareness and education, not policing.” Awareness can indeed be raised, but commitment to the initiative is only voluntary pledging and doesn’t guarantee action.

Even those who try to hire healthy models don’t always succeed. In a 2009 public talk, Grace Coddington, creative director at Vogue magazine, said it’s challenging to find healthy models.

“You could book them and think they’re a certain size, and they turn up on the shoot and suddenly they’ve spun into this anorexic situation,” Coddington said. “And you’re on the spot, and you have to get the job done, and you have one day to do it, and what do you do?”

With stories like that, it is difficult to feel that the actions of a few designers or magazines can affect such a huge cultural problem.

Constant exposure to a certain type of image normalizes it, said Harriet Brown, a professor of magazine, newspaper and online journalism at the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications. She’s also the author of “Brave

Girl Eating,” a story of her daughter’s struggle with anorexia.

When her daughter’s weight dropped dangerously low, Brown became accustomed to her daughter’s thinness. Essentially, we accept thinness because we see it all the time.

If the media and fashion industry portrayed more realistic images of beauty, cultural acceptance would expand.

“If the models (we see in fashion) were size 6, we’d get used to it,” Brown explained.

Though the fashion world is a long way away from taking drastic action, the CFDA’s initiative seems to be a step in the right direction. Pushing designers to change their practices would potentially make things easier for models.

“There’s been increasing pressure on designers not to see models as hangers,” Brown said.

The people behind CFDA talk a lot about the idea that health is beauty. If they can practice what they preach, perhaps a change in the industry can be achieved.

“As Syracuse film students, sometimes we find it’s hard to get an audience, so it’s really nice to have something like this put together, to formally show what we’ve done.”

Olin was glad to get some recognition for his work from the student body.

“As Syracuse film students, sometimes we find it’s hard to get an audience, so it’s really nice to have something like this put together, to formally show what we’ve done,” Olin said.

“As far as winning, it feels pretty good. It’s kind of like getting the fruit of all our efforts.”

Cook, co-filmmaker of “Searching for Winnie Cooper,” is simply grateful the film was given an audience.

He said, “It’s always nice to see that people like your work, and that somewhere, somebody actually wants to watch it.”

Re-release modernizes for current gamers, retains artistic simplicity

C

By Joshua Rivera CONTRIBUTING WRITER

onsider the phenomenon of the re-release.

This past weekend, “Star Wars: Episode I: The Phantom Menace” saw a return to theaters in 3D. Why? Who knows. It’s a questionable choice, but not an unprecedented one — for years, Disney has been remastering and re-releasing its classic animated features.

And the video game industry has caught on. With the high-definition era of entertainment in full swing, publishers are actively scouring their catalogs for titles that would benefit from a loving restoration. Older games look stretched out and muddy on flat screen HDTVs. Many just won’t work on new, current generation consoles like the Playstation 3 or the Xbox 360.

Some games, much like “The Phantom Menace,” just give the opportunity to those who missed it the first time around.

And then there’s “Shadow of the Colossus.”

The game was a marvel, like nothing else available on video game consoles at the time. Released in 2005, it was well received by consumers and critics alike.

Its graphics and artistic merit were equally praised. To this day, it’s one of the

examples most frequently cited whenever the question “Are games art?” arises in critical circles.

Now it’s 2012, seven years and a whole new generation of technology later. Surely there have been titles that eclipsed “Shadow of the Colossus,” improved on its wonderfully executed foundation and used today’s better graphics and faster processors to make something in the same vein.

Something even better.

But there haven’t been. “Shadow of the Colossus” remains a singular experience, quite unlike anything else available on consoles.

The game places you in the role of Wander, a protagonist who travels to a forbidden, secret land with the body of his loved one, seeking a way to restore her to life. He meets Dormin, a disembodied entity that tells him 16 creatures known as Colossi lurk the land. If he could slay them all, he would gain the power to bring back his love from the dead.

That’s it. That’s all you’re told before you’re given control of Wander and his horse Agro in a vast and lonely land.

There are no other goals or foes — you simply must set forth, find each Colossus and kill them in the hopes that your love may awaken once more.

It’s hard to convey how satisfying “Shadow of the Colossus” is in its simplicity. Having such a straightforward goal from the very beginning of the game frees the player from worrying about petty things like finding keys to unlock doors or stronger weapons to fight later Colossi. What you have at the start is all you’ll need: a sword, a bow and Agro.

But when you see the first Colossus, it doesn’t seem like nearly enough.

Majestic and awe-inspiring, almost every Colossus you’ll face will dwarf Wander. It seems impossible. But there’s always a way. And when you find it, words can’t quite capture the thrill that comes as you cling to these living mountains that actively try to throw you off and preserve their lives. Or the sorrow that comes from actually achieving the impossible.

“Shadow of the Colossus” is brilliant, not because of its beautiful art direction, its massive scope or its beautiful score. It’s worth playing because it understands that what makes video games such unique experiences is the direct control they afford the player. You don’t watch a man profess how far he would go for love; you actively participate, even as the growing sense of dread and horror of your actions slowly dawns on you.

That’s something that doesn’t get old. jmrive02@syr.edu

SU can’t keep up with Louisville in road loss

By Andrew Tredinnick ASST. COPY EDITOR

After watching No. 20 Louisville’s onslaught from the perimeter, Quentin Hillsman struggled to identify what Syracuse could have done differently.

When all was said and done, it was easy to LOUISVILLE 89 determine the cause of the loss as the Cardinals devSYRACUSE 62 astated the Orange from beyond the arc. But the SU head coach still wasn’t sure how his team could have stopped Louisville’s red-hot shooting performance.

“I don’t know,” Hillsman said. “I really don’t because they just made too many shots, so when they score the ball like that it’ll be tough to win.”

Louisville shot 18-of-31, or 58.1 percent, from 3-point range to overwhelm SU 89-62 in the KFC Yum! Center on Sunday. The Orange (15-11, 4-8 Big East) couldn’t overcome the Cardinals’ (18-7, 7-5 Big East) offensive outburst, which undermined any chance SU had at victory from the beginning of the game.

After Louisville opened up the game on a 14-4 tear, the Cardinals turned to the 3-ball to put the game out of reach early. In a span of six minutes, Louisville caught fire, connecting on five 3-pointers, including three from forward Becky Burke, to push the Cardinals’ lead to 33-13.

Hillsman struggled to find an answer for Louisville’s shooters, who poured in nine 3s in the first half.

“A lot of them were contested, they just made shots,” Hillsman said. “You can point to a lot of different things, but they just hit shots, and sometimes you have those kind of days where they’re shooting 30-foot 3s and they’re making them. It’s one of those things that kind of happens.”

The Orange did its best to keep pace with the hot-shooting Cardinals in the first half.

SU actually outshot Louisville in the first 20 minutes, going 16-of-28 from the field. But the Cardinals’ accuracy from beyond the arc gave them a 51-40 lead at halftime.

“We made shots. We shot 57 percent I think it was in the first half and that was the key,”

Hillsman said. “We made enough shots to stay in the game, and I thought that was the difference was that we made shots in the first half.”

But Syracuse cooled off in the second half, and Louisville continued its ambush from 3-point range. The Cardinals set a school record with nine more 3-pointers in the second half and finished with 18 on the game. Burke hit on 8-of-15 attempts from 3-point range and put the game out of reach.

The Orange hit just seven shots for the entire second half, and Louisville pushed its lead to 29 points as the final minutes of the game ticked off the clock, scoring 16 more points than SU in the half.

And Hillsman needed to do his best to stay optimistic after the Cardinals’ strength beyond the arc.

“It’s tough when they’re making shots like that,” Hillsman said. “But all you can do is continue to compete and continue to play hard, and that’s what we did in the first half.” adtredin@syr.edu

JIM BOEHEIM

36TH SEASON 881-302

RICK PITINO

26TH SEASON (11TH AT LOUISVILLE) 617-225

Boeheim has coached arguably his deepest Syracuse team to a 25-1 start to the season, making the No. 2 Orange a contender to go on a deep run in March. Pitino has the Cardinals playing some of their best basketball of the season as they ride a six-game winning streak into their matchup with SU.

LOUISVILLE FROM PAGE 24

coach Jim Boeheim said about Louisville after the Orange’s win over Connecticut on Saturday.

“I think they are playing the best in the league right now.”

The Louisville game is the conclusion of what Boeheim called an “extremely tough” 10-day period. The Orange played a road game at St. John’s on Feb. 4, followed by two rivalry games at home against Georgetown and Connecticut.

So far, Syracuse has conquered the first three tests, doing so by double digits against the Red Storm and Huskies. But a quick Saturdayto-Monday turnaround for a road game against the Cardinals is perhaps the Orange’s toughest test of the season to date.

“They’re playing well, and they just came off a win,” forward C.J. Fair said. “And they got confidence against us because we didn’t beat them in so many years, and we got to go in there ready to play right from the jump.”

Syracuse’s issue against Louisville in recent years has been the Cardinals’ ability to shoot the 3-pointer. Last season, Louisville made 13-of27 3s en route to a 73-69 win over the Orange in Kentucky.

In two games the year before, Louisville attempted 70 3-pointers combined — making 21 of them.

Syracuse had difficulties closing out on 3-point shooters at times in Saturday’s win over UConn. With the Orange ahead 32-26 in the first half, the Huskies swung the ball around the arc, getting it to guard Ryan Boatright on the right wing.

Boatright had an open look, and Waiters was late trying to contest the shot. He leapt into the air and landed on Boatright, but the ball had already left the UConn guard’s hands and fell

“(Louisville is) playing great. I think they are playing the best in the league right now.”

Jim Boeheim

SU HEAD COACH

through the net.

Boatright missed the free throw and chance at a four-point play, but it was one of eight 3s for Connecticut in the game. The Huskies are last in the conference in 3-point field-goal percentage in Big East play, at just 28 percent. They shot 42.1 percent against Syracuse.

“Some days you shoot better,” Boeheim said, also referring to his team’s 10-of-16 performance from deep Saturday. “There is no question about that. I haven’t seen Connecticut shoot that well this year either. Their guards were 6-for-8, and they have not been shooting the ball well from the 3-point line.”

Syracuse plays Louisville twice in its final five regular-season games, with the other being the Orange’s regular-season finale in the Carrier Dome on March 3. As Waiters said, there are two chances to put an end to the talk of Louisville’s dominance against Syracuse.

And on Monday, it’s a battle of the two hottest teams in the Big East.

Said Boeheim: “It will be a tremendous challenge to go down there on Monday night.” mcooperj@syr.edu

CONNECTICUT FROM PAGE 24

of a crowd of 33,430. The Orange turned in its best offensive game of the season courtesy of a 59-percent shooting clip and 10 3-pointers, using an extra gear to blow past Connecticut (15-9, 5-7 Big East).

It was, quite simply, about as perfect a game as one team can have.

“We can’t play much better offensively,” SU head coach Jim Boeheim said.

The team’s first field goal, a stunningly rare 15-foot jumper by center Fab Melo, foreshadowed the uniqueness of Saturday’s game. And when he repeated the act twice more in the game’s first eight minutes, the stars began to align.

Syracuse shot a sizzling 65 percent in the first half, nailing five 3s to take a ninepoint lead into the break. The Huskies, who played arguably their best half of basketball in almost a month, still found themselves trailing 43-34.

“They were hot,” UConn forward Jeremy Lamb said. “They were knocking down shots.”

Following Olander’s free throw, hot became white-hot.

Scoop Jardine drilled back-to-back 3s on set plays. He sliced to the rim for a tough layup in traffic two possessions later. Dion Waiters converted a 3-point play, then hit a jumper and a layup.

And Jardine capped off the spurt with a third 3, this one directly in front of the Syracuse bench.

The two Syracuse guards combined for all 18 points in the 18-1 run, Jardine with 11 and Waiters with seven. They didn’t miss, Jardine hitting four shots and Waiters hitting a 3-pointer.

Five minutes and 27 seconds had elapsed.

The scoreboard now read 81-62.

“We were playing good the whole time,” Boeheim said. “And then we just played better, which is hard to do sometimes when you’re playing really good to play better.”

George Blaney, filling in for the ailing Jim Cal-

85

houn, was helpless along the Connecticut sideline.

He barked encouragement after an Olander turnover with the score 66-61 in favor of the Orange only to burn a timeout 28 seconds later after a Jardine 3.

Lamb clanked a 3, and Drummond committed an offensive foul. Then Drummond turned it over again, and Lamb clanked another 3.

Shabazz Napier’s layup with 47 seconds left stopped the run but couldn’t stop the bleeding.

A pair of free throws from Waiters ballooned the lead to 20 with 19 seconds remaining — six minutes after the Huskies had pulled within two.

“It’s as good a team as I’ve seen Jimmy (Boeheim) have,” Blaney said. “It’s certainly his deepest team. … When they get in trouble, they can isolate so many different people that can just beat you. And then Waiters and Jardine just had phenomenal games.”

Jardine finished with a game-high 21 points and six assists. Waiters, his backcourt partner, chipped in with 18 points. Together, they shot 15-of-19 from the floor.

With 1:38 remaining, Waiters followed up a missed jumper by C.J. Fair for a putback in the lane. He flexed his muscles as he ran back down court, a perfect representation of the game’s final six minutes.

Jardine and Waiters beat up on the smaller Connecticut guards, imposing their will on the youthful Huskies.

“Scoop hit two big 3s,” Waiters said. “He opened it wide open for us, and it was just our turn to stomp on their necks.”

Of the eight Connecticut players who took the court, seven experienced the Carrier Dome for the first time, including Boatright.

The freshman left dazed, unable to verbalize his team’s dilapidation. Twice the Huskies clawed within two points — two chances to possibly save their season.

In a blink of an eye, they were handed a blowout loss.

“When we hit some adversity, they hit a few shots,” Boatright said. “And we fell apart after that.” mjcohe02@syr.edu

6 Bedroom Townhouse

STAFF WRITER

A hobbled Andre Drummond emerged from Connecticut’s locker room. Limping down the hallway in the underbelly of the Carrier Dome, his royal blue and black Nike Airmax sneakers bore an unequal load.

The left shoe compressed heavily under the weight of the 6-foot-10, 270-pound freshman center. The right shoe, which covered the foot connected to his injured right ankle, hardly supported him at all.

His trudge out of the locker room was visual proof of the pain.

“When it first happened, I thought it was broken or something,” Drummond said.

In a game that featured one giant turning point — an 18-1 Syracuse run after UConn had pulled within two — Drummond’s injury was perhaps a precursor to the SU surge. His strong play out of halftime helped whittle the Orange lead down to just five with 14:19 to play. But he missed a six-minute stretch of the second half while receiving medical attention in the locker room, and he was well short of 100 percent when he retook the floor late in the game. The end result was an 85-67 victory for Syracuse.

Though he finished with 13 points, seven rebounds and two blocks, his lack of mobility for the final nine-plus minutes allowed the Syracuse guards to penetrate with ease and run away from the Huskies.

“It was different,” UConn guard Ryan Boatright said of the game after Drummond’s injury. “We had a roll going, so it was just another bump in the road. We’ve got to overcome that, though.”

In the first half, Drummond attempted to finesse the ball into the basket rather than going strong to the rim. He lost the ball on the way up for a layup against Syracuse center Fab Melo in the game’s opening minutes. Later in the half, he had what appeared to be an easy dunk opportunity, but he dished the ball off to Olander and the play resulted in zero points.

Jardine did both against UConn. With SU leading 56-52, he drove into the paint in transition before the Huskies defense was set up. His penetration allowed him to kick to an open Joseph for 3 on the left side of the arc.

Later, with Syracuse ahead 63-61 and 6:26 to play, Jardine started the Orange’s 18-1 run to put the game away by knocking down 3-pointers on back-to-back possessions, forcing a Connecticut timeout.

“That’s the best thing about this team this year,” Waiters said. “Anybody can get it going. We don’t even know that we’re going on those tight runs until you look up and somebody tells you.”

Jardine downplayed the hot 3-point shooting,

ryan maccammon | asst. photo editor (LEFT) ANDRE DRUMMOND prepares to go up for a shot. The freshman center was an effective force for UConn, but was hampered in the second half by an ankle injury.

That’s when Jeremy Lamb said he and his teammates gave Drummond a simple message.

“We just told him, ‘When you’re around the rim, dunk it,’” Lamb said. “There was a lot of stuff he tried to layup or got blocked and stuff like that.”

Drummond stormed out of the locker room for the second half with a different mentality, and he scored eight points in the first 4:19. He fought for position inside on nearly every possession to begin the half, pushing the lighter Melo and Baye Keita around.

He grabbed two offensive rebounds, dunked twice and hit two of his four shots from the free-throw line during the stretch. He shoots 35 percent from the line on the season.

On one possession, he lurked behind the Syracuse 2-3 zone on the left baseline, received a perfect one-handed pass from Shabazz Napier and dunked it home.

On the next possession, he posted up Melo and drew a foul.

“I was really, really excited about Andre Drummond finally going to the rim like we know he can,” said associate head coach George Blaney, filling in as head coach for Connecticut while Jim Calhoun remains out with a spinal condition. “And more importantly, really posting in a good position and deep. We were able to get him the ball a number of times, and he was phenomenal with how he did that.”

calling his team “streaky.” But he acknowledged he’s on a team that isn’t crushed by a bad shooting night.

It allows Syracuse to take what it’s given by the defense. When the Orange heads to the Big East and NCAA tournaments, it will see contrasting defensive schemes in short periods of time.

The Orange can shoot over a zone, as evidenced by Joseph’s six 3s against Georgetown’s 2-3 zone Wednesday. And SU was a matchup nightmare for the Huskies’ man-to-man defense. Waiters, Triche and Jardine are 210, 205 and 190 pounds, respectively.

The Huskies’ guards, Ryan Boatright and Shabazz Napier? They weigh in at a light 160 and 171 pounds.

Jardine had one of the best shooting games a player could have against UConn, going 8-of-9 from the field and knocking down all four 3-point attempts.

“We got shots that we’ve been getting, haven’t been making,” SU head coach Jim Boeheim said. “We’ve been getting pretty good looks at the 3-point line and haven’t made them.”

Joseph said it’s a matter of being hot from

But then came the injury. Just when UConn looked like it had found a go-to option offensively, Drummond collapsed to the floor.

He and Napier both went to scoop up a loose ball on the defensive end of the floor. And when Napier got there first, Drummond attempted to stop his momentum.

He couldn’t. His ankle twisted, and the center lay writhing in pain gripping his right leg.

“I was getting ready to dive for it, but (Napier) already grabbed it,” Drummond said. “So I stopped myself and just turned the wrong way.”

Drummond struggled to put any weight on the ankle as he was helped off the floor by a Connecticut trainer. When he returned six minutes later, jogging up the floor was a difficult task. He failed to score after the injury.

Syracuse guards Scoop Jardine and Dion Waiters knifed into the lane with ease, as Drummond couldn’t recover defensively on pick and rolls. The two combined for all 18 points in the 18-1 run, and the SU lead soared as high as 20.

After the game, Drummond said he wasn’t stressing about the injury and would take care of it back in Connecticut.

But when asked how the injury changed the momentum of the game, his answer was simple.

Said Drummond: “It killed everything.” mjcohe02@syr.edu

beyond the arc in recent games after a period in which Syracuse was pretty cold shooting.

SU had its moments from 3-point range earlier this season, namely making 11 treys at North Carolina State and going 10-of-17 from long range at Providence.

It’s not very often a team comes along that can win at any pace. Syracuse can outscore you or outdefend you. The Orange can go from scoring 64 points in a grind-it-out overtime win over Georgetown to dropping 85 on UConn.

That offensive versatility — with the ability to score inside, outside, in transition or in a halfcourt set — makes Syracuse look incredibly formidable for the postseason.

“We’re not necessarily a team that’s going to try and come down and shoot majority 3s,” Joseph said. “We’re going to try and get the ball inside and mix it up. We just take what the defense gives us.”

SU defeats Maryland in last major tune-up before opener

By Chris Iseman ASST. SPORTS EDITOR

Nearly nine months have passed since Maryland knocked Syracuse out of the NCAA tournament. On Sunday afternoon, the memory of that day was as present as ever as the Terrapins seemed to be controlling the Orange in SYRACUSE 11 just about every way once again.

MARYLAND 9 In exclamatory fashion, though, the Orange put together a valiant fourth-quarter comeback and finally earned its revenge against the Terrapins. Sort of.

“We let them jump on top of us,” midfielder SYRACUSE 10 Bobby Eilers said. “But once we started getting CANISIUS 11 momentum coming back, the guys got into it, the bench got into it, the crowd got into it, and honestly, it felt like a playoff game.”

In reality, this game had a fraction of the significance.

Syracuse scored four consecutive goals in the fourth quarter — three in the final 49 seconds — to propel it to an 11-9 win over Maryland in a scrimmage inside the Carrier Dome. SU lost its second scrimmage of the day 11-10 to Canisius, but it was against Maryland when it received the most effective gauge of where it currently stands. For three quarters, the Terrapins controlled the game in every way. Whenever SU made an attempt at putting itself back in position to tie the game or take a lead, the Terrapins managed to quell the comeback for Syracuse. That all changed in the final 15 minutes, when the Orange’s offense kicked into high gear and went on its decisive scoring barrage.

It took a mere 11 seconds for Maryland to invoke the spirit of the day these teams last played each other. The Terrapins won the game’s opening faceoff and scored before the SU

defense could get into position. That kicked off a half of futility in every aspect of the game for the Orange and sent SU into the locker room at halftime down 6-2.

“I was pretty disappointed with the movement. I think we were standing around a lot waiting for somebody to do it,” SU head coach John Desko said. “We seemed to get better as the game went on, which is the good thing for us. But I thought we started off a little slow.”

“We seemed to get better as the game went on, which is the good thing for us. But I thought we started off a little slow.”

John Desko

SU HEAD COACH

But as Desko said, SU’s offense finally came alive in the second half, culminating in a dramatic final 49 seconds.

Attacks Tim Desko and Collin Donahue scored in the first two minutes of the third quarter, getting the Orange to within two.

Syracuse and Maryland then traded goals, and the Terrapins held a 7-6 lead going into the final minute of play with a win appearing inevitable.

Then Bobby Eilers tied the game with 49 seconds left. From about 15 yards out, the senior wound up and took a hard shot straight on from the goal, whizzing it past the Maryland goaltender. It’s a shot that earned him a spot on the second midfield line a season ago and now has him on the starting line.

That set the stage for freshman reserve attack Kevin Rice to come through with the heroic goal.

The freshman attack also tallied the game-winner with 16 seconds left in regulation.

With the score tied, midfielder Matt Pratt fed Rice a pass from behind the goal. Rice took the pass and immediately flipped it into the goal to give SU the 10-9 lead.

“We had Matt Pratt behind with the ball on a short stick and coach Desko just told him to drive and create something,” Rice said. “So I just cut to the front of the goal, and he made a great pass.”

Ricky Buhr won the ensuing faceoff, ran straight in toward the goal and scored with the final seconds ticking off the clock to seal the win.

It was a complete turnaround from a mostly dormant offensive first half.

The Orange moved the ball around the offensive zone confidently, stretching the field out and

opening up the middle to allow for space to sprint in and shoot. Neither Eilers nor Desko could pinpoint exactly what hampered the offense at the start, only that it needs to find its energy at the start, not halfway through the game.

In the Syracuse’s final opportunity to get the most realistic sense of where it stands one week before the start of the season, Desko saw plenty that needs repair. Right now, Syracuse is still a ways away from where it needs to be.

“We’ve just got to get better everywhere, offensively, defensively,” Desko said. “And we just have to come every day in practice to try to get better.” cjiseman@syr.edu

Fair shines on offense, boards to help Syracuse to victory over Huskies

By Mark Cooper SPORTS EDITOR

Dion Waiters calls C.J. Fair the silent assassin.

Fair certainly played his part Saturday. Syracuse’s 10-of-16 3-point-shooting performance continuously knocked Connecticut back, but the sophomore forward was everywhere the Orange needed him to be, knocking down jumpers and cleaning up the boards.

“A lot of times he’ll get overlooked on some things,” Waiters said. “… We know what he can do. He’s one of the best players on the team. Just for him to come out here and rebound like he did today, we need that every game.”

Fair was exceptional Saturday, scoring 14 points and grabbing 12 rebounds in the Orange’s 85-67 win over the Huskies on Saturday in the Carrier Dome. Fair entered the game at the 18:06 mark in the first half and played for the rest of the game, reaching a career high in rebounds by aggressively crashing the defensive glass. In addition, he complemented the Orange’s long-range shooters by picking his spots midrange and inside. Fair finished 6-of-8 from the field, scoring 10 of his 14 points in the second half.

“I wanted to rebound well, that was my main focus today,” Fair said. “Rebounding and then

hitting open shots.”

Syracuse was outrebounded by 17 in its last game against Georgetown on Wednesday. The sophomore said he watched the tape of the game with Orange assistant coach Adrian Autry, and Autry pointed out rebounding battles that Fair or one of his teammates could have won.

The 6-foot-8 forward snagged 11 of his 12 rebounds defensively. Nine of those came off UConn’s first shot of a possession or a free throw.

He corralled half of Syracuse’s 12 first-half rebounds.

“He’s a pretty good rebounder overall,” SU head coach Jim Boeheim said. “Sometimes it’s where you’re positioned, where the ball comes in the zone. I thought he was more aggressive getting it.”

In Fair’s second career double-double, he also displayed the strengths of his offensive skill set. The baseline jumper. The midrange shot. The dunk.

Scoop Jardine found ways to get Fair open on the baseline. The senior guard would run around a pick and drive toward the basket. As he converged on the paint, Fair faded away toward the corner on the side Jardine came from.

It left the player trailing Jardine from the pickand-roll to make a decision. Most of the time, he left Fair open, and Jardine fed him for the jumper.

The play worked to perfection in the second half when Jardine came toward the bucket from the right wing as Fair drifted to the right corner. When Jardine passed the ball off, Fair sunk a wide-open jumper to put SU ahead 63-55 with 8:48 to play.

“I wanted to rebound well, that was my main focus today. Rebounding and then hitting open shots.”

C.J. Fair

SU FORWARD

“C.J. works on his shot every day in practice, and I have confidence that he can continue to make that shot,” Jardine said. “And that opens up our offense.”

After his 2-of-10, five-point performance against Georgetown, Fair said he got in the gym to continue working on his shot. He considers his midrange jumper to be the best part of the game and kept his confidence high.

In a crucial possession with the Orange’s lead cut to two with 12-plus minutes left, Fair drove

to the hoop from the right side. He pulled up for a midrange jumper and it dropped through the net, snapping a 5-0 Connecticut run and pushing Syracuse’s lead back to 56-52.

“He’s been working hard this week on shooting,” Boeheim said. “When he has a bad game, he takes it to heart, and he really went to work the last two days shooting the basketball, and it paid off big time tonight.”

Fair’s work didn’t fly under the radar Saturday. His play was noticed by the 33,430 in attendance at the Carrier Dome, especially when he skied toward the rim to send home a pass from Jardine that seemed destined to be a turnover.

With the Orange leading 23-15 a little more than midway through the first half, Jardine pushed the ball in transition after a Fab Melo block. Jardine dribbled past half court and looked up — a moment where Fair said he and the guard locked eyes.

Jardine flipped a pass near the right sideline high toward the left side of the rim, and Fair went up and got it. He slammed it home, punctuating an early 8-0 run to put Syracuse up 10 and forcing UConn to call a timeout.

“C.J.’s a huge factor for us,” Boeheim said.

“He was tremendous today.” mcooperj@syr.edu

Syracuse shoots lights out, blows past UConn late

or an instant, the fourth-largest basketball crowd in Carrier Dome history went silent. Ryan Boatright zipped a bullet pass inside to Tyler Olander, and the Connecticut forward drew the fourth foul on Syracuse center Fab Melo.

Olander split a pair of free throws to bring the Huskies within two points of No. 2 Syracuse. The clock read 6:26.

When the clock read all zeroes, Boatright failed to put into words the preceding six-plus minutes of basketball.

“I don’t even know what happened after that free throw,” said Boatright, UConn’s freshman point guard. “I can’t even tell you, man.”

What happened was offensive brilliance. What happened was an 18-1 Syracuse run. A two-point edge turned into a 19-point disparity as SU (25-1, 12-1 Big East) ran away from the Huskies for an 85-67 win in front

and the funky bunch

t’s easy to forget. As Syracuse keeps winning and scoring in a multitude of ways, its deft 3-point shooting ability is not this team’s trademark. But it is a weapon.

Syracuse’s long-range shooting was lethal in its last two games, when Kris Joseph made 6-of-11 3s against Georgetown and the Orange hit 10-of16 from deep against Connecticut.

“We’re not labeled as a 3-point shooting team anyway, but we do shoot the ball pretty well I think,” said Joseph, who is 9-of-15 in SU’s last two games. “The last couple games we’ve been shooting extremely well, but sometimes we have our off days.”

Syracuse can live by the 3, but it won’t die by the 3. It’s a fortunate position to be in — if Syracuse isn’t hitting from beyond the arc, the Orange can drive to the basket, work the ball inside or press to force turnovers and easy baskets. But if Syracuse gets hot from outside, as it did in Saturday’s 85-67 victory over the Huskies, 3-point shooting can win the game.

The Orange’s arsenal of scorers has been well documented. The second-ranked team in the country can play 10 deep. Dion Waiters — perhaps the best sixth man in the country — has said time and time again the scariest thing about this team is someone different can be the scoring leader every game.

But if players like Joseph and

Orange must contain Cardinals from long range to end 7-game losing streak to Louisville

By Mark Cooper SPORTS EDITOR

The last time Syracuse beat Louisville, Gerry McNamara shot the lights out.

The current Syracuse assistant coach and former guard scored 30 points to lead the Orange to a 13-point victory over the Cardinals on Feb. 18,

2006. It was the first meeting between the two teams since Louisville joined Who: Louisville the Big East.

two times, so we’re trying to beat them both times to make up for the last seven times they beat us,” guard Dion Waiters said.

No. 24 Louisville (20-5, 8-4 Big East) is also one of the hottest teams in the country having won six straight games. No. 2 Syracuse (25-1, 12-1 Big East) is on a five-game win-

ning streak of its own. The Orange will be looking to extend that streak while snapping its losing spell against the Cardinals when the two teams square off at 7 p.m. Monday inside the KFC Yum! Center. In Syracuse’s first road game against a ranked team this season, it faces a Louisville team that leads the Big East in field-goal per-

centage defense at 37.2 percent — and one that has had Syracuse’s number in recent years.

In 2009-10, the last year Syracuse held the No. 1 ranking, two of the Orange’s three regular-season losses came to Louisville.
