Court rejects part of ESPN libel lawsuit

By Jessica Iannetta ASST. NEWS EDITOR

A federal judge dismissed a part of Laurie Fine’s libel lawsuit against ESPN, ruling the statements in question were “fair and true” reports of a judicial proceeding and therefore immune from a libel lawsuit.

The Feb.11 dismissal involves one of six claims made in the libel suit Fine announced at a press conference last May. In the lawsuit, Fine accused ESPN and its reporters Mark Schwarz and Arty Berko of defaming her in their reporting of sexual abuse allegations against her husband, Bernie Fine, former SU men’s basketball associate head coach.

In dismissing part of the case, U.S. District Judge Lawrence Kahn said ESPN’s reporting is protected because it came from an affidavit filed in court by accuser Bobby Davis, in addition to other court hearings, according to court documents obtained by The Daily Orange.

The majority of Davis’ affidavit was devoted to allegations that Laurie Fine had sexual relations with several SU basketball players.

David Scott, director of communications for ESPN, confirmed the partial motion to dismiss, but declined to comment further because of ongoing litigation.

Lawrence Fisher, Laurie Fine’s attorney, could not be reached for comment.

crolling through her Twitter feed, Amanda Claypool checks for updates from accounts such as the U.S. Department of State, CNN and Al Jazeera on an hourly basis.

Although Twitter is used by many for casually browsing the news, Claypool is specifically looking for information to help write her thesis on the

Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

A triple major in international relations, political science and history, Claypool is not a typical senior.

As part of her honors capstone within the Renèe Crown University Honors Program, she is researching the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and traveled to the West Bank in December as a part of her project.

Claypool decided to travel to the

West Bank once she was awarded the Crown Scholar grant, which allots money to capstone students to use in various projects, she said. The intensive application process for a Crown Scholar grant involves compiling a 10-page proposal that outlines an action plan, a thesis and what the idea will generate.

“Over the course of three or four months, you gradually tune into your

idea by doing extra research,” she said. “The proposal that you submit is somewhat like a business plan.”

Claypool submitted her proposal in fall 2012, during the time Palestine went to the United Nations to argue for recognition as a state.

“There was a great deal of deliberation going on in Palestine during that time,” she said. “I realized

Proposed ordinance could regulate, limit off-campus housing

By Nicki Gorny ASST. NEWS EDITOR

The Southeast University Neighborhood Association and 4th District Syracuse Common Councilor Khalid Bey have proposed legislation to regulate the spread of student housing in the neighborhood near University Hill.

If passed by the Common Council, the ordinance will define a “student residence” in the city zoning code as any residential dwelling occupied by three to five students. It would then require landlords to annually license these residences with the city through a registry application that

includes renters’ names and the university they attend, according to the proposed legislation.

The ordinance would apply only to the Special Neighborhood District, according to the legislation, and any legally operating student rentals in the area would be grandfathered in.

If a student rental fails to rent to students or apply for a license renewal for 12 months or more, it would lose its grandfather status.

The proposed legislation was brought to the Common Council as a talking point last week, Common Councilor At-Large Kathleen Joy

said. Joy said nothing formal has been brought before the council, and the proposed legislation is in a very preliminary discussion stage.

Continued dialogue is necessary to address the conflicting interests of residents, landlords and students in

Officials rent space in NYC

The silent vigil was a part of the SU Rising event held on Thursday.

Event raises awareness about violence against women

By Sam Blum STAFF WRITER

Despite the windy conditions, many of the candles held by those participating in a silent vigil about violence against women did not blow out.

The vigil, held on the steps of Hendricks Chapel on Thursday, was a part of SU Rising, an event that featured a ceremony, in addition to the candlelight vigil, to remember and honor the victims and survivors of violence against women.

For those that attended, the vigil

had a very profound effect.

“This moment of silence kind of really makes you think about it and kind of just put yourself in their shoes,” said Martina Rizzo, a senior international relations major. “It’s hard to put yourself in what might be that pain. We go on in our daily

lives without really thinking about the stuff that happens all around the world.”

The hour-long event featured performances by SU Zinda, a dance group, and Grammy Award-winning artist Joanne Shenandoah.

Leading the ceremony was Tula

Syracuse University officials signed a 10-year lease for the second floor of a 17-story building in Manhattan with the intent of creating a new academic center.

The building is located at 136 Madison Ave. on the corner of East 31st Street.

While few details are available about how the university will utilize the new space, Senior Vice President for Public Affairs Kevin Quinn said the university expects to release more details as plans progress.

“SU has leased the space and it will be used for academic purposes.

No more specifics are available at this time, but we expect to provide more information about the center later this year as plans are finalized,” Quinn said in an email.

The university will use the newly acquired space in some capacity during the fall 2013 semester, but Quinn said the school is still working to finalize plans for the project.

The new space is located in a 150,000-square foot, 17-story building. The second floor, which SU will occupy, is 20,000 square feet, according to a Sept. 24 news release from Colliers International, the leasing firm that represents the building’s owners.

The building also features a concierge desk that operates 24 hours a day. Other building tenants that have been announced include a public

Defining the dream

Political columnists discuss contemporary American Dream in response to Obama’s address

LIBER A L

C O N S E R VAT I V E

Fundamental American Dream stays consistent; hard work is rewarded

Obama’s policies widen gap between rich, poor; future of country bleak

C

onservatives are likely to view Obama’s State of the Union speech as a redefinition of the American Dream. They argue Obama is getting support because he’s handing out “free stuff” in the form of government services. In their view, Obama is no longer rewarding hard work.

These opinions are misguided and inherently give the president more influence than he actually has.

It’s important to define what this dream is. Many people know and accept James Truslow Adams’ definition, “that dream of a land in which life should be better and richer and fuller for everyone, with opportunity for each according to ability or achievement.” Despite this, everyone seems to have their own definition.

But overall, it is unclear that our conception has changed. In the State of the Union speech, Obama advocated for increasing the federal minimum wage, tying it to inf lation. He said it was a goal to restore “the idea that if you work hard and meet your responsibilities, you can get ahead, no matter where you come from, what you look like or who you love.” His vision is not, and should not, be controversial.

T

HARMEN ROCKLER

to the left, to the left His policies have not changed the idea that hard work is rewarded. Helping individuals who have lost their jobs or cannot afford basics is not the distribution of free goods. It is a basic common good. Conservatives often complain about “big government” when Democrats are leading the country. When Republicans lead and expand government, as they have done throughout history, suddenly big government is not a worry and they stop complaining.

The dream has not been redefined.

Those who argue it has need to examine the country honestly, rather than let their biases cloud their judgments.

Creating more opportunities for success is priority for Obama

he American Dream is all about economic and social opportunity. It is not a guarantee of success, but a guarantee of a fighting chance to improve one’s status in society, regardless of where you start out.

Of course, this opportunity has not always been extended to everyone, and the arc of history in this country has been one of expanding this opportunity to ever more people.

Our history is a slow, hard march toward progress, with struggle after struggle ensuring new groups of citizens have access to this dream.

Even before the colonies united, the problem of limited opportunity existed.

Indentured servants, who signed a portion of their life away in exchange for free passage to the new world, were continually re-subjugated to pay off everincreasing debts.

While they had more rights than African slaves, this servitude created a second-class citizenship right from the start.

We have made great progress in the centuries since, but there is work left to be done. What I heard last Tuesday in President Barack Obama’s State of the Union address is

COLIN CROWLE Y

the liberal elite a man willing to continue that work.

In calling for an increase in the minimum wage, Obama has made it a priority for his second term to further expand the opportunities many take for granted. Currently, a person making minimum wage is considered to be living in poverty.

In defending Medicare, Medicaid and social security, he has shown a passion for not losing ground in the expansion of opportunity.

In a world with growing health costs, these programs are more essential than ever.

I leave you with the words of poet Emma Lazarus, inscribed on the Statue of Liberty, “Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to be free.”

That’s America.

T

he American Dream has always meant that no matter where you come from, through hard work in a free enterprise capitalist system, you can go from having nothing to having everything.

Under President Barack Obama, this dream is becoming an illusion.

In his State of the Union address last week, the president said Americans are now recovering from the recession. But this “recovery” is seen only by those who have already achieved the American Dream.

According to recent reports by the U.S. Census Bureau, as the income for the wealthiest 20 percent of Americans has risen, middle class income has declined, and the income for the poorest Americans has remained unchanged.

This has increased the already astounding wealth gap in the United States, which according to the CIA, is ranked among the worst in the world.

Obama said in his address “we need to build new ladders of opportunity into the middle class for all who are willing to climb them.”

He also continued to refer to “a rising middle class.” In reality, his policies are not only widening the gap between rich and poor, but shrinking the gap between poor and average.

NICK SMITH

the last free american The vast majority of Americans never see a cent from the profits of the rich, yet Obama has made us all pay for their losses. While he bailed out the too-big-to-fail corporations, the small, family-run businesses that have helped so many Americans fulfill the American Dream have been left to suffer.

These small businesses were hurt even more under Obamacare, which implemented expensive requirements that force them to stop hiring and lay people off.

Perhaps the biggest part of the American Dream was making a brighter future for your children. Yet, we continue to increase the national debt and leave future Americans with a giant mess.

American prosperity built on freedom, ability to meet demands of free market

P

resident Barack Obama misidentified the American Dream in his State of the Union address. He said we must “restore the basic bargain that built this country, the idea that if you work hard and meet your responsibilities, you can get ahead.”

American prosperity was not built on work for a guaranteed reward. It was built on freedom. No government can protect individuals’ freedom to succeed without also allowing the freedom to fail.

For sure, hard work measures one’s determination to succeed, but it does not measure success. Success is measured by how well one meets demand in the free market.

If an American can produce a good or service that other people want or need, then she is successful. If an American can develop skills to meet job market demand, than he is successful.

Although hard work is often a means to success, it is never an end in itself, because hard work with no purpose creates no value.

The only way to measure the value of work is with free markets. Hence, in America, the ability to meet market demand is the primary measure of success.

Fittingly, the American Dream is that every American — regardless of gender, race and creed — has the freedom to operate in the market however he or she chooses.

MICHAEL STIKKEL

vast right-wing conspiracy Thomas Jefferson called this “the pursuit of happiness.”

The inscription on the Statue of Liberty reads: “Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free.”

A Greek immigrant thought after first seeing the Statue of Liberty in 1919: “Give me a chance to prove that I am worth it, to do something, to become somebody in America.”

The American Dream is having the freedom to prove our worth. It is not reward for our effort but reward for the value created by adapting our efforts. Freedom uniquely allows each of us to adapt our own pursuits toward success.

Hence, the American Dream is freedom.

IDE AS

External consultant should be hired to assess SU finances EDITORIAL

During the Feb. 13 University Senate meeting, the Committee on Budget and Fiscal Affairs reported that the pressures to limit tuition costs have left Syracuse University in need of ways to diversify and expand revenue sources to ensure financial security.

The budget committee claims it lacks the experience and resources necessary to thoroughly evaluate the size, functions and organization of central administration and responsibility centers. The Board of Trustees should act on the committee’s recommendation to hire an external consultant to facilitate a comprehensive review of SU’s finances in order to best find a solution.

The committee reported that granting more discount rates to students than budgeted in 2012 has contributed to this state of financial insecurity. Its recommendations were to keep the tuition increase fixed at 3.6 percent for 2014, instead of decreasing the percentage, which has been an annual goal of the administration.

Though keeping the rate at the same level is better than increasing it, a consultant’s evaluation is important. The majority of the university’s revenue comes

by the daily orange editorial board from graduate and undergraduate tuition, which reinforces the need to find other means of revenue with the help of a consultant. Students should not suffer financially as a result of the university’s challenges.

The budget committee made several suggestions about where more revenue could be made. One recommendation is to have a consultant explore how to make better, more frequent use of the Carrier Dome as a revenue source.

Other suggestions worthy of exploration before increasing tuition include raising the number of international students in underrepresented programs, offering Winter Break courses modeled after Maymester, expanding online courses and using campus facilities more during the summer.

Though it may seem like spending university assets to hire an external consultant would only deplete resources further, this option will prove beneficial.

Violence against women prominent issue on college campuses; shouldn’t be ignored

S

U Rising, held Thursday at Hendricks Chapel, provided an opportunity for a muchneeded community dialogue about violence against women.

Sexual assault is often a hard subject to talk about, but it cannot be ignored.

Though it does not affect many of us directly, it is happening on our campus.

One-in-five female college students experiences some sort of sexual assault in her college years, and 1-in-33 male college students experiences the same. Male perpetrators commit sexual assault between six to eight times.

Women dominated the audience, while men were few in attendance.

The event called for an end to violence against women, but when

the average male perpetrator on a college campus commits an act of sexual violence six to eight times, perhaps more men needed to be a part of this conversation.

President Barack Obama has recognized the persistence of the issue, and applauded the U.S. Senate in his State of the Union address for passing the Violence Against Women Act on Feb.12.

Now, the act must pass in the U.S. House of Representatives.

Congress failed to reauthorize the act last year. This important piece of legislation makes the sentences harsher for perpetrators, and guarantees women the right to civil proceedings. House Republicans blocked the act because it expanded protection for

The panel of commentators at SU Rising addressed this issue by discussing the influence of gender stereotypes on men. For the most part, our society expects men to be aggressive and indifferent. From an early age, we teach boys to like certain toys and act tough when they don’t need to. We make excuses for

violent behavior without addressing the actual behavior.

We even reinforce these stereotypes when we ask same-sex couples who wears the pants in the relationship. This question implies someone in the relationship has more control or is more like the man, instead of seeing each partner as equals. Without knowing it, we set up unrealistic standards for gender roles.

As college students, we are a reflection of what our future society is going to look like. Everyone has the potential to bring change if they are truly dissatisfied with society.

These past few years, we have seen people our age rise up against authoritative regimes and economic inequality.

They have initiated revolutions and demanded change. We must also demand

change from the social institutions and government structures that are equally responsible for reinforcing the rigid gender roles our society exhibits.

Stopping violence against women may seem like a daunting task, considering the global scale of the problem.

It’s not going to stop right away, but that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t try.

One of the first steps is encouraging dialogue. We need to open up a dialogue to talk about issues like sexual violence and gender stereotypes so that we can make progress toward decreasing their negative effects.

addresses broadcasts and written stories regarding a secretly taped conversation between Laurie Fine and Davis.

Included in the tape are conversations in which Davis claims to be describing how Bernie Fine molested him, and that Laurie Fine did not protest the actions.

The statements involved in the dismissal relate to articles written about Davis’ affidavit, as well as Davis and Mike Lang’s slander suit against SU head men’s basketball coach Jim Boeheim, according to court documents.

Davis and Lang filed a defamation suit against Boeheim and Syracuse University in December 2011 after Boeheim defended Fine

semesters, but we want them to be exposed to the culture and civilization rather than just the verbs,” Nock said.

Aaron Liebman, a freshman television, radio and film major who is currently taking his second semester of Spanish at SU, said the idea behind the course was enticing. He noted that while he gets along OK in his classes, he doesn’t feel comfortable speaking Spanish outside of the classroom because he’s not confident enough in his speaking abilities. “(Classes) wouldn’t be the same as total immersion,” Liebman said.

Students who take the course will be given a pre-test, post-test and oral assessment, which Nock said will allow students to see how they have improved and the areas

shortly after the allegations surfaced, calling the stepbrothers liars. A judge threw out the suit last May, saying Boeheim’s statements were opinions and not fact, and therefore protected under free speech.

In arguing against the partial dismissal, Laurie Fine’s lawyer said New York Civil Rights Law Section 74 does not cover the statements in the articles. Section 74 states that “fair and true” reports of judicial proceedings receive “absolute privilege” in libel action, according to court documents.

Her lawyer argued that because the allegations against Laurie Fine in Davis’ affidavit were later ruled irrelevant by the judge in the slander suit, Section 74 doesn’t cover them, according to court documents.

But Kahn, the U.S. district judge, ruled that it would defeat the purpose of Section 74

to have it cover only “fair and true” reports of the complaint, and not reports about “the answer, a motion, or a verdict,” according to the documents.

Kahn ruled that the plaintiff “cannot circumvent the libel shield” provided by Section 74 by “characterizing the Davis affidavit, and thus the related statements in the Affidavit and Hearings articles, as being outside the scope of a judicial proceeding,” according to the documents.

SU fired Bernie Fine on Nov. 27, 2011. Last November, almost a year after the abuse allegations first surfaced, the U.S. Attorney’s Office announced it was closing its investigation into the accusations due to insufficient evidence, and decided not to pursue federal criminal charges against Bernie Fine.

they need to focus on.

Students are required to have taken at least a semester of Spanish at SU or one year of a high school course. But Bulman, chair of the department, said the program is most attractive to students who are motivated to improve their language abilities or are considering studying abroad.

“We’ll give students much more confidence at the level that they’re at,” Bulman said.

“It will reinforce some of the concepts they’ve recently learned.”

While instructors do not expect students to become fluent speakers within two weeks, Katie Clinton, a Spanish professor who wrote the grant proposal for the course, said the intention is to expose students to as many cultural aspects of the language as they can.

“You can study the language and the grammar all day, every day for years, and you still don’t come out with the confidence and

strength to speak. So our goal and vision is that people feel like they have the base to confidently communicate in a Spanish-speaking culture,” Clinton said.

Clinton said the program is guaranteed for two years, but there are plans to continue the program if it is successful.

Ideally, the department would like to see the course model replicated and expanded to other languages that students express interest in, such as French, Arabic or Italian.

The organizers encourage students interested in the program to visit summeratsyracuse.syr.edu/spanish-immersion for more information.

With the addition of the new academic center, SU is expanding its presence in the New York City area. The university already operates another building in Manhattan, the Lubin House, to host events for current and prospective students, as well as SU alumni in the New York City area. It also serves as the school’s New York City admissions office and contains a public art gallery, according to SU’s website.

With such a large number of current and former students located around New York City, Ruth Kaplan, vice president of external affairs at SU, said the university’s presence in Manhattan is a good way to extend the school’s reach and influence, as well as a way to present students with new opportunities.

“With the wealth of learning opportunities for students available in a city of this size, our presence in New York City is a direct extension of the chancellor’s vision of Scholarship in Action,” Kaplan said.

There are currently more than 46,000 SU alumni in the New York City metro area, Kaplan said, and the university has had a presence in the region for quite some time. The school is looking to expand its presence in Manhattan to increase its influence on the large number of students and alumni in the area, while continuing to promote the concept of Scholarship in Action, she said.

Current Lubin House staff will know more about the newly leased space and will work with the Lubin House in the future as plans for the space develop, Kaplan said. blsamuel@syr.edu

SUNY-ESF students have opportunity to gain hands-on experience at Adirondack State Park

By Jesse Nichols

T

Contributing Writer

he six million-acre Adirondack State Park will serve as a classroom for SUNY-ESF students participating in a residential semester, set to launch this fall.

The program, called Understanding the Park, will offer eight to 15 students a hands-on learning experience at the State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry’s Newcomb Campus in the model ecosystem of the Adirondack park.

“Our college has been involved with this park longer than anyone else, and we’d like to use it as a real opportunity to provide students with exposure, skills and knowledge,” said Paul Hai, program coordinator for ESF’s Northern Forest Institute in Newcomb, N.Y. The park serves as a perfect destination for the program, Hai said, adding that it is “literally unparalleled.”

Throughout the fall, students will be immersed within this completely balanced ecosystem.

The program itself will offer a hands-on approach to students studying social science or public policy who are looking to better understand the balance between humanity and science, he said.

Many factors contributed to the development of the program, especially the shift in thinking among global leaders toward a sustainable future, Hai said. This makes hands-on experience with sustainability valuable in global political decisions.

Hai said the program aims to answer questions about the balance and distribution of power, including who holds power in the global community and who is left out.

To answer these questions, Hai said students will take five courses: • The first course will invite students to explore sustainability, challenging them to look at areas where sustainability has or has not been applied, and set goals

accordingly. It will include traditional readings and discussion, as well as direct cooperation with relevant organizations and agencies.

• The second course will be a hands-on experience that will expose students to natural sciences and teach them to collect data, ultimately developing a tool for decision-making.

• The third course will focus on ethics and the truth behind who has a global voice and who does not.

• The fourth course will focus on the creation of sustainable business models.

• The fifth course will allow students to utilize their accumulated knowledge and design their own management plan as to how land should be utilized to protect natural resources.

The semester concludes with the presentation of the students’ management plans to the various organizations and agencies they have worked with throughout the semester.

While a student is exposed to indirect experience in these fields within a classroom, the staff of Understanding the Park is confident it can deliver this experience in a whole new and complete way, Hai said.

“The best analogy I can give is a cookbook,” he said. “You can read and really understand how to make something, but until you get your hands on the plate, it doesn’t all come together.”

For example, instead of reading about the amphibian population, Hai said, students will have their hands in the pools.

Registration for Understanding the Park will begin April 8.

“Sign up quick,” Hai said. “You really couldn’t imagine a better place to spend a semester.” jlnich02@syr.edu

through my research on the conflict that if Palestine were to be recognized as a state in the same way that Israel is, it might level the playing field.”

The conflict of statehood and land ownership between Israel and Palestine is one of the most intractable conflicts of the modern era, said

“I realized through my research on the conflict that if Palestine were to be recognized as a state in the same way that Israel is, it might level the playing field.”

Amanda Claypool

international rel ations, political science and history major

Mehrzad Boroujerdi, director of the Middle Eastern Studies Program in the Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs.

The division extends even within Palestine itself, Boroujerdi said. Palestine remains divided because Palestinian Authority has control of the West Bank, while Hamas rules the Gaza region. This has fostered some serious political differences, he said.

“While we often speak of establishing peace between the warring parties, the conflict may be better resolved by divorce between the sides,” Boroujerdi said in an email. “It is a complicated dispute concerning territorial claims, and religious and national sentiments.”

To expand on her research, Claypool traveled to the West Bank for two weeks in December

the area, she said.

“It’s a really difficult balancing act, and that’s the discussion we need to have,” she said.

“We’re not going to change things just for the sake of changing things.”

The proposed legislation comes in response to the overturn of an ordinance last March that required the number of bedrooms in a student rental to meet the number of available off-street parking spaces, said Michael Stanton, president of SEUNA. This essentially prevented the conversion of homes with more than three bedrooms into student rentals.

Although the overturned ordinance was unique to Syracuse, the new proposed ordinance is in effect in at least 13 municipalities in four states, Stanton said. In one of these, Lower Merion Township, Pa., the ordinance was challenged and upheld through the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit.

This is an encouraging sign for Syracuse,

2012. While there, she met with experts on the conflict and interviewed local citizens to help direct her research.

“I spent half of my time in Israel, specifically Jerusalem and Tel Aviv, and the other half in the West Bank of Palestine,” she said. “I had lined up about 20 individuals that I planned to meet with, and from those interviews, I had hoped to gain more insight into the ramifications of statehood for Palestine.”

Upon arrival, Claypool quickly learned of the vast differences between the West Bank and Israel, such as the transportation systems, security and language.

“The language barrier was very difficult to navigate,” Claypool said. “In Israel, English and Arabic are the two national languages. In Palestine, I knew how to speak formal Arabic, but the people there speak a different dialect with much more casual idioms.”

Going into Palestine, Claypool also struggled with many of the safety stigmas associated with the West Bank created by Americans, she said.

Though Nablus, a city in northern West Bank, has only made its transportation hubs public within the last three years, it continues to be welcoming toward international visitors.

“A lot of people have that perception of the Middle East being extremely unsafe,” she said.

“Because of this, SU Abroad has actually terminated a lot of their options in the Middle East. I find it very disheartening, because it’s simply untrue for some areas like the West Bank.”

Claypool cites this misconception as one of the many reasons Middle Eastern dialogue is essential student-wide, she said. To help strengthen awareness, Claypool became a board member of LIME: Learning about Israel in the Middle East, a student-run organization that works to increase campus dialogue on issues such as the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

Emma Goldbas, a fellow board member of LIME and junior international relations and

anthropology major, described LIME as a dialogue group of mixed backgrounds. Claypool, she said, provides a unique point of view.

“Amanda provides a special perspective to our group because she doesn’t necessarily have a demarcated space on a political, social, religious or cultural spectrum,” Goldbas said. “Her experiences in traveling to the West Bank and Israel will help bring her understanding of the conflict full circle.”

Claypool gained even more understanding about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict when she interned for the American Task Force on Palestine in Washington, D.C., through Maxwell in the fall of her junior year, she said. The program involved in-depth studies of international events across various news sources. When Claypool wasn’t studying international conflicts, she visited think tanks on Capitol Hill.

“I made a lot of connections just by always talking with people at think tanks,” she said.

“Sometimes people forget the importance of asking questions and sharing thoughts. It’s a great way to learn.”

Claypool’s final step in her capstone project is to write a 50-page paper with a looming deadline of April 24. The paper will include a detailed description of her thesis, facilitated by her extensive research and the conversations she had with experts in Palestine.

Reflecting on her trip, Claypool said she hopes to take the knowledge she learned to further facilitate dialogue on campus and beyond about Middle Eastern conflicts. After college, Claypool said she plans to study Arabic in Jordan, go to graduate school and eventually work in national security for the government.

“I’m really grateful that I had the opportunity to travel into the midst of what I’m studying,” Claypool said. “I would hope that maybe some students would look at what I’ve done and become inspired to do something similar.”

Stanton said. If the Common Council passes the proposed legislation, he said it would probably be implemented by early April.

Although the number of students in the neighborhood has not increased since it peaked in 1990, students are now moving closer to campus, he said.

“In 1990, the majority of the students living in the area had been east of Lancaster,” he said.

“That’s been changing year after year.”

Stanton said he hoped the ordinance would maintain the status quo in the neighborhood and stop landlords from “swooping in” to buy homes close to campus.

Ben Tupper, who owns 49 student rentals and is the landlord to about 340 SU and State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry students as owner of Tupper Property Management, said landlords of owner-occupant houses have contacted him for about 10 of the last 15 homes he bought.

In general, these families moved out of the neighborhood not because of students, Tupper said, but because of the school district or job availability.

“The neighborhood is what it is. It’s a great mix of people,” Tupper said, adding that he has lived in the area since the 1980s and that it has always been a student neighborhood.

Tupper said he opposed the proposed ordinance, saying it was an attempt to reduce the number of students in the neighborhood and was not good governance. He also said he opposed the registry that would require landlords to submit the names of renters to the city, describing it as a “gross violation of privacy.”

“The university neighborhood is awesome,” he said. “It doesn’t need to be fixed.”

people to gather and be right out on the Quad so everyone can see us.”

Preceding Thursday evening’s ceremony was a community-wide dialogue that discussed the issues of gender and violence against women.

Several of the students who attended Thursday evening had very strong opinions about the topic discussed.

“Violence against women, it seems like it’s more on the rise than ever,” said Danielle Skipper, a junior television, radio, and film major.

“I feel like if a lot of people don’t think of it as a gender and just think of it as violence. I felt it was absolutely 100 percent necessary to be

here tonight.”

Janet Epstein, director of the SU Advocacy Center, said in the release she hoped the day’s events would lead to a community dialogue about sexual violence.

Said Epstein in the release: “Our hope is that this dialogue will help students, faculty and staff identify ways that they can become empowered bystanders, recognizing their potential to take action to prevent sexual violence and committing to creating a caring supportive environment that is safer for all of our community members.”

ellow sunlight filled the room from a window facing downtown Syracuse, and inspirational posters hung on brick walls surrounding a set of cozy blue sofas. A table filled with soft drinks and pizza welcomed event attendees on the fourth floor of The Warehouse, the location of Studio C’s latest meeting.

With its spirit of “collaborate, create and change,” Studio C hosted the event “Pizza, Inspiration and Ide-

ation: Food for the Creative Mind” at 3 p.m. on Friday. It provided a place for students interested in civic engagement and social entrepreneurship to generate ideas and gain access to networking connections from the local community.

“It is not only about creating businesses, but also increasing public good in some way,” said Chris Guimarin, a junior communications design major.

Guimarin and Quinton Fletchall, a senior industrial and interaction design major, organized the event

We created these workshops to engage students with the community, and see where the possible areas of collaboration could happen."

with assistance from Caitlin Moriarty, a graduate in the Janklow Arts Leadership Program.

The event focused on how to increase nonprofit social ventures on campus and enhance the interaction between campus and the local community. The idea behind the event came across the minds of Guimarin and Fletchall earlier this semester.

Studio C, currently a concept, is also a physical space in the works of being prepared. The studio will be a room equipped with ample creative space, along with a white board and digitized screen for people to collaborate. It will be located in the Design Warehouse Gallery on East Genesee Street.

The room is being loosely modeled off of the design of another space, Thinklab, also located in The Ware-

house. Thinklab is another area dedicated to entrepreneurial collaboration, though with a slightly more technology-based focus than Studio C. Members of Studio C have been welcomed to use the Thinklab space while their own is being set up.

Guimarin is an IDEA connector.

IDEA, or Innovation and Disruptive Entrepreneurship Accelerator, is a group dedicated to promoting communication and collaboration between students from different colleges on campus and of different creative backgrounds.

When students come to IDEA with an idea for an entrepreneurship venture, IDEA connectors send them to the best resources to follow through with their venture.

The way Guimarin imagines the relationship between the two projects will work is when students come to IDEA pitching an idea relating to Syracuse and civic good, he can send them to Studio C. Guimarin said Friday’s event was meant to break down barriers to help

If we’ve taken anything away from the last century, it is that repressed groups will rise above their oppressors.

During the last half of the century, women have made their voices heard, gaining more rights and independence, and entering the workforce. As the women in “Top Girls” took their seats at a table reminiscent of The Last Supper, they raised their glasses and toasted to womanhood and its splendor, affirming the feeling of achievement.

The current production of the Syracuse University drama department, “Top Girls” wittily and poignantly shows the power and pitfalls of being a woman in a male-driven society, and grappling with what womanhood is truly about. Anchored by a gifted group of young actresses, the play runs through Feb. 24.

Shown in three acts, “Top Girls” tells the story of Marlene, a career-driven British woman who feels unfulfilled by her life, despite successfully overcoming the gender gap. As the show goes in backward-chronological order, the audience is forced to not only pay close attention to the subtle nuances exhibited by the women in each scene, but to also constantly ask questions. How did Marlene end up the way she did? What caused her to lose sight of personal life in favor of a career? In the end, the audience finds answers, which are grittier than some might expect.

Written by Caryl Churchill, a majority of “Top Girls” examines the important moment in British history when Margaret Thatcher paved the way for women to professionally stand on their own. Still the only female British Prime Minister to date, Thatcher fought tirelessly to open the gateway for female employment.

Churchill’s work reflects the hunger Thatcher instilled in women from the late 70s to the early 90s. One scene in particular, between Marlene and a low-ranking employee in her company, portrays this message.

Marlene reveals her determination to get rid of the perception of women as naturally emotional and that they will abandon themselves for men.

One of the most important characteristics Churchill likely intended for Marlene was that there was always something bubbling beneath the surface, besides her drive for work. When she was at

students engage with entrepreneurship, but instead of only engaging with on-campus issues, this project is more about the local community.

“We created these workshops to engage students with the community and see where the possible areas of collaboration could happen and possibilities of new projects and social ventures,” said Guimarin.

Students, faculty members and event speakers mingled. Even though only one student team attended the event, the discussion was full of engaging, creative insight, with ideas bouncing around the table. Occasional laughter burst out.

Linda Hartsock, director of the Office of Community Engagement and Economic Development, helped Guimarin and Fletchall put the idea into practice.

Hartsock said the event is about connecting people and building a community, more specifically how to reach SU students to connect and motivate them.

“What we want is to find students who are genuinely and truly interested in the idea of building community through engagement and advancing public good through public interest and design,” Hartsock said. “It’s about making a difference in the world.”

Fletchall said their projects will not stop at conversation. The studio will also help students execute ideas.

Two speakers at the afternoon event were Michael Rotella and Michael Heagerty, representing the community-driven ventures SyracuseGuru.com and NoexcusesSYR, respectively. The two groups represented professionals with potential projects from Studio C, groups who want to build a dynamic community with positive images.

pul p @ da ilyor a nge.com

Rotella, the founder of SyracuseGuru.com, graduated from Syracuse University with a degree in English in 2011. Since graduation, he said he has been fully devoting himself into pushing local business.

Rotella was born and raised in Syracuse, and hopes the success of his project can get people more excited about his home city.

Like Rotella, Heagerty is also interested in writing about places such as restaurants, local developments and events happening in Syracuse through social media.

With insight about the city, Heagerty organized customized local tours to help people get to know Syracuse better.

Heagerty is aware of the fact many people in the Syracuse area, specifically students, are only aware of the social opportunities held around the Marshall Street area. Heagerty hopes to educate people in a way that will enlighten them about other options.

Eddie Zaremba, a senior entrepreneurship and emerging enterprises major, and his teammate Marissa Donovan, a senior nutrition major, explained their idea at the event.

They are working on a project called “Recipe for Success,” which combines business skills and nutrition education. Donovan said it promotes healthy eating habits among middle and high school students, and teaches them entrepreneurship skills at the same time.

“We’re connecting with entrepreneurship people because we’re looking to grow our team, for one, and we’re also looking to network,” Zaremba said. “If there is someone else that’s involved with a similar project and has certain connections or might help us better understand what we’re working on, maybe this is the place that we’ll find somebody.” jli64@syr.edu — Feature Editor Chelsea DeBaise contributed reporting to this article

Unless celebrities are willing to give up careers, it’s not worth trying to design

W

e live in the era of the all-powerful celebrity.

We read in tabloids that they’re actually “just like us,” with photos of them taking out the trash or filling up their gas tank. Images of them cover our magazines and dominate our televisions. They can even boost a designer’s credibility by wearing their design on the red carpet to this Sunday’s Academy Awards.

But all of this power is going to their heads.

It’s making some celebs think they can step outside of their profession and try to become a fashion designer. Successful lines usually thrive because of celebrity status — not artistic merit. Yet there are some celeb designers that do deserve the attention.

Victoria Beckham, formally known as Posh Spice, debuted her dress collection in spring 2009 to glowing reviews. Style.com runway reviewer Nicole Phelps went as far as to say “Her sheaths and shift dresses … will sell not on the power of her name but on the sophistication of their cut and fit.”

The Olsen twins’ line The Row is a study in minimalism chic. Their designs don’t just copy the twins’ style. Mary-Kate and Ashley created their own aesthetic.

Gwen Stefani, who named her clothing line L.A.M.B. because she wanted people to buy the clothes for their own merit not for her celebrity status, layers prints in a haphazard yet chic manner.

With these examples as a starting point, it would seem the celebrity-turned-designer trend isn’t all that bad. Yet no one can forget the epic mishap that was Lindsay Lohan’s turn as a senior consultant at French fashion house Emanuel Ungaro at Paris Fashion Week in 2009.

Emanuel Ungaro bluntly said, “Lindsay Lohan’s collaboration was a disaster. I am furious but I can’t do anything about it. I have absolutely no link with that house.”

The line featured ill-fitting fur stoles, bad 80s jackets, drop-crotch pants and — worst of all — tasteless sequin pasties. Kanye West blamed her for ruining the credibility of celebrity designers and called her collaboration “The 9/11 of fashion.”

After this disaster, it would seem Lohan would stay away from fashion design. But of course, she continued work on her leggings line 6126, named for Lohan’s favorite icon Marilyn Monroe’s birth date. Lohan said the line was inspired by “the iconic Marilyn Monroe and the

work, she questioned why she fought so hard to get there. Later in the play, when she visited her family, she grappled with the idea of actually “having it all.”

Directed by Timothy Davis-Reed, the play suffers from pacing throughout the performance. With a play as long as “Top Girls,” the pacing of each scene needs to be strong and move along rather than lag. For example, in Act One’s dinner party scene, when the women are talking and screaming over one another, the pacing doesn’t quite work. While it was meant to prove women want their voices to be heard, the execution caused a cacophony, and the initial interest in the scene was compromised.

What almost stole the show was the beautifully illustrated background the play was set against, which varied from an English

never wears pajamas in public timeless, confident glamour she represents.”

Since when did Monroe wear sequined leopard-print leggings? The garish leggings line featured cutouts, sequins, leather and, yes, quilted kneepads.

Another flop in the celeb-turned-designer world is “Laguna Beach” and “The Hills” reality star Lauren Conrad. While Conrad certainly dresses well, her line, The Lauren Conrad Collection, was safe and boring. The designs consisted of jersey tunics, T-shirts and skirts galore. Though wearable, the designs lacked originality and weren’t worth the high prices.

Alas, the line failed, yet Conrad is still designing her LC Lauren Conrad Kohl’s collection.

For struggling fashion designers who studied design for years, it must be infuriating to see someone like Kanye West decide he wants to design a women’s line and immediately land a spot at Paris Fashion Week.

Also, who really knows if these celebrities are actually designing the clothes. With their red carpet appearances, recording albums, going on tour and filming movies and television shows, how would these celebrities have time to design a fashion line? It only makes sense Beckham’s and the Olsen twins’ lines succeeded.

They abandoned their former singing and acting careers to become designers.

The appeal of these celebrity fashion lines, however, isn’t necessarily that they made the designs. It’s that they liked it.

Hey, celebrities, how about you just stick to what you’re good at? If that happens to be designing clothes, just stick to that, like Beckham and the Olsen twins do. That’s usually not the case, though. So make your movies, record your albums — and stay away from our clothing.

cottage yard to an architectural blueprint design of scenic London. Acting as a window to the world outside of Churchill’s words, it reminded the audience of life beyond the women’s movement.

Actress Mary Ann Pianka triumphs as the complicated Marlene. After moving past some initial difficulties with the British accent, she owned the stage by the end of the first act.

Pianka’s portrayal of a painfully emotional journey in “Top Girls” reminds the audience that women are still struggling with equality.

Unforgettable supporting player Sumiko Cohen shows advanced comedic chops that made for the show’s biggest laughs. Dry and brilliantly timed, she kept the audience captivated by her every word.

For those looking for a light and fluffy theatre experience, “Top Girls” will surely disappoint, but the substance-induced show doesn’t apologize for giving the audience a slice of truth. nbsilver@syr.edu

Zero potential Y

By Jacqueline Grossman CONTRIBUTING WRITER

ou’re curled up on the couch with your significant other, looking for a show to end the perfect Valentine’s Day. You turn on the television and what do you see? Nazis, underground religious societies, immortal demonic babies and frozen-to-death humans inside a World War II military contraption.

Exactly what you were looking for, right? At least that’s what the executives at ABC must have thought when they decided to premiere a history and science fiction drama on one of the most romantic days of the year.

ABC’s new history, sci-fi drama “Zero Hour” did not rack up the numbers it was expecting.

The premiere earned 6.3 million viewers, ABC’s lowest-rated in-season premiere for a scripted show ever. And it wasn’t just because it premiered on Valentine’s Day. The premiere’s trailer advertised “Zero Hour” as a mix between “The Da Vinci Code,” “LOST” and the “National Treasure” movies.

But at the end of 60 minutes, viewers were left in a sense of frustration and utter confusion.

People expected more from “Prison Break” creator Paul Scheuring.

“Zero Hour” revolves around the life of Modern Skeptic Magazine editor Hank Galliston — played by “ER” star Anthony Edwards — and the journey he must take to find his kidnapped wife, Laila. His wife’s captor is after one thing and one thing only: a strange diamond inside the antique clock Laila bought before her disappearance. Viewers learn these diamonds are connected

to both achieving and controlling eternal life.

Thus, it is clear that in the process of finding his wife, Hank will also be finding the diamonds and uncovering the truth of their power.

Yes, this mix of history, religion and science fiction allows for an intriguing plotline, but the problem is that the writers were all over the place with the show’s premise.

First, “Zero Hour” appears to be about a husband trying to find his kidnapped wife.

However, the show ends with a clockmaker telling Hank’s employees about the connection between the 12 new apostles, the Nazi regime and eternal life. While this conversation is taking place, shots of a demonic baby with translucent eyeballs fill the screen.

If you are lost at this point, don’t worry, because I was, too.

Perhaps the writers intended for the pilot of “Zero Hour” to create a mix of confusion and fascination. But in using this strategy, the writers also run the risk of frustrating viewers to the point where they do not care enough to continue.

In addition to jumping around while uncovering the plotline, the pilot also exhibited logical problems. If Hank is the editor of a pretty successful magazine, where is the rest of his staff? Does he only have two employees? What will happen to the magazine now that Hank is making impromptu trips across the world in search of his wife?

Additionally, I hope more character development takes place in upcoming episodes, because the lack of human emotion was truly cringeworthy. Why does Hank display almost no emotion when

ABC's newest history infused scifi drama TV show ‘Zero Hour’ confuses audiences with conflicting story lines he finds out his wife has been kidnapped? A few sniffles, a brief embrace with an employee and that’s it. This is either a result of poor acting or extremely dull writing. Whatever the case may be, the cast and crew of “Zero Hour” need to get their act together.

Who knows, maybe once the writers figure out in which direction they want to take the plot, “Zero Hour” will be able to survive and compete against the plethora of already established and successful dramas. After all, that’s what happened with Mike Kelley’s “Revenge.” jigrossm@syr.edu

SYRACUSE AT SETON HALL 6

FROM PAGE 20

But the Pirates remained within striking distance throughout the final 20 minutes. Four different times in the final 13 minutes, SHU cut the deficit to six points. The comeback attempts fell short, though, as SU hit big shots – like a 3-pointer by James Southerland and a putback

by C.J. Fair – before clutch free throws decided the game.

Seton Hall entered the bonus with 12:13 to play after Baye Moussa Keita sent Pirates center Eugene Teague to the line. The 6-foot-9, 290-pound big man out-muscled Keita for the rebound and held strong as Keita and Triche tried to rip it away. The Syracuse guard sighed with frustration before watching Teague step to the line, where he’d hit two free throws in what would become a recurring scene.

Teague was a mismatch in the paint. He gave Keita, Southerland and Rakeem Christmas fits underneath, and went 6-for-10 from the line in the second half. As a team, Seton Hall went 12-of-24 from the stripe in the second half, failing to take advantage of the bonus to get back in the game.

“We kept fouling them,” Triche said. “I think we fouled them like 10 times in a row. They shot 50 percent, I think that was the biggest reason why there was like a little separation in the game.”

Syracuse shot 75 percent from the line in the second half.

Three Seton Hall fouls in 13 seconds put the Orange in the bonus with 10:09 to play. Syracuse led by six at that point, then Carter-Williams drilled six straight from the line in a 30-second span, and the Pirates were suddenly staring at a daunting 12-point deficit.

NEWARK, N.J. – With every shot Brandon Triche made Saturday, with every 3-pointer he drained, with every audible groan the Seton Hall fans voiced, a frustratingly cold performance from three days ago seemed increasingly distant.

He nailed mid-range jumpers. He converted layups. He made the 3-point line – an area that was practically his personal hell Wednesday – his personal stage on Saturday.

Triche scored a career-high 29 points on 10-of-18 shooting in Syracuse’s 76-65 win over Seton Hall at the Prudential Center, erasing any lingering sour memories from his off night at Connecticut. Triche knocked down four of his seven 3-point attempts. Triche was so dominant that the question wasn’t whether he could make a shot, but whether he could get to 30 points.

“Brandon got going.

I think Brandon was aggressive tonight, the way we need him to be.

I just thought he really offensively kept us in there early, and then he made plays at the end. I thought he had just an unbelievable game.”

Jim Boeheim

SU HEAD COACH

“I had 29 tonight, so it seemed like it didn’t bother me too well. I don’t worry about bad games,” Triche said. “I figure I’m going to do well the next game. I have faith. I pray before every game. I have faith that I am going to do well the next game.”

Against the Huskies on Wednesday, Triche was 3-of-15 from the field and 0-of-7 from the arc.

Saturday was the complete opposite.

It took 18 seconds for Triche to start his recovery. He stole the ball away from Seton Hall guard Haralds Karlis, raced up the court and sank a mid-range jumper from the left block that gave Syracuse an early 2-0 lead.

For the next eight-plus minutes, the Orange struggled to adjust to Seton Hall’s match-up zone defense. The Pirates held a head-scratching nine-point lead.

Then Triche hit a floater in the lane and nailed a shot from the right elbow. He grabbed

a rebound off of a Southerland miss and drew a foul, hit a free throw and almost single-handedly led Syracuse back into the game. He buoyed a 12-0 run that turned Seton Hall’s chance for an upset into a mirage.

“Brandon got going. I think Brandon was aggressive tonight, the way we need him to be,” SU head coach Jim Boeheim said. “I just thought he really offensively kept us in there early, and then he made plays at the end. I thought he had just an unbelievable game.”

By the time Triche hit a 3 from the left corner at the end of the first half to give Syracuse a 32-28 lead, he had officially bounced back.

Michael Carter-Williams said that for the last two days, almost every play Syracuse ran in practice ended with Triche taking a shot. It was by design. If Triche was going to rebound from an off night, he had to take more shots to do so.

“I think that helped him out a lot,” CarterWilliams said. “He came out and he was knocking down shots. He was great.”

Triche continuously wrecked the Pirates’ attempts at closing the deficit. Seton Hall center Eugene Teague converted a three-point play at the 15:51 mark of the second half that made it 43-39 Syracuse.

A little more than a minute later, Triche nailed a 3 from the left corner that pushed the Orange’s lead back to seven.

Then, with just more than three minutes left, Triche hit a long 3 from up top that made it a 13-point game. The shot gave him 26 points on the night and the arena momentarily fell silent.

Wherever Triche was on the floor, he was drilling shots.

“He made some tough shots. For him to knock down them, you could tell he had confidence shooting them,” forward C.J. Fair said.

“Because some players wouldn’t take the shots he took. But he knocked them down.”

Triche said he didn’t know how many points he had until he looked up in the final minute and saw he had 26. He wanted 30.

Carter-Williams said he didn’t know how many Triche had either, but he was shooting so well that he had to get the ball.

With nine seconds left, Triche nailed one final 3-pointer. It gave him a new career-high of 29 points.

After the game, he stood in front of his locker and looked up at the big-screen TV hanging on the wall, watching James White attempt a dunk in the NBA’s Sprite Slam Dunk Contest.

He could finally relax and breathe easy. The frustration and angst from three days ago never seemed so distant.

“When it came down to the end of it,” Triche said, “I wanted the ball in my hands and I was able to convert.” cjiseman@syr.edu @chris_iseman

MCW inconsistent at point; Southerland slow to warm up

By Ryne Gery and Chris Iseman THE DAILY ORANGE

NEWARK, N.J. — The formula to frustrate Michael Carter-Williams is no secret. It’s been in place since Syracuse’s first loss to Temple back in December.

Force the 6-foot-6 point guard to shoot – from long range or in close – and take away his passing lanes. The strategy’s been adopted by each Big East opponent thus far – the latest being Seton Hall on Saturday night – and it has revealed the flaws in his game that remained hidden as he racked up assist after assist in nonconference play.

“They’re making him go to the basket and not coming off to help,” SU head coach Jim Boeheim said. “He’s not driving and shooting and passing somebody up, there’s nobody open.

They forced him to shoot really from the Temple game on, and you’re not going to get assists if they’re going to do that.”

Carter-Williams shot 30 percent from the field and finished with just three assists in the Orange’s 76-65 win over the Pirates at the Prudential Center on Saturday. He managed to score 14 points – a total boosted by his 8-for-10 performance from the foul line – and grab nine rebounds, but his offensive game was inconsistent, as it has been throughout conference play.

All three of Carter-Williams’ field goals came in the first half. All three were dunks – one off of an offensive rebound and the other two

on alley-oops in transition.

From that point, Carter-Williams missed his final seven shots of the game.

He had no trouble getting to the rim for opportunities, but his ability to finish was nonexistent. On one drive down the lane, CarterWilliams left all defenders behind and soared to the rim above every other player, his right arm fully extended. His length and athleticism were on display, but he left the layup attempt short.

“James (Southerland) hit a couple 3s, but he’s still trying to get his legs back. He needs some more games.”

Jim Boeheim

SYRACUSE HEAD COACH

“I took some tough shots today that I think I could have done something a little different,” Carter-Williams said. “But it’s all about learning and going on to the next game.”

The learning process has been ongoing since Temple upset SU at Madison Square Garden and forced Carter-Williams into 17 shots. He only made three that day, as the Owls decided to make him beat them with his scoring ability.

Pittsburgh held him to two assists in its win over the Orange in early February. In SU’s latest loss to Connecticut on Wednesday, he only dished out one assist – a season-low.

He said he’s still adjusting to the defensive approach his opponents have taken. The point guard is still focused on getting his teammates involved while taking the open shot when it’s there, but it hasn’t been easy for him.

“He’s got to be able to finish if they’re not going to respect his offense,” Boeheim said. “He’s got to find that, but it’s hard to get a lot of assists in some of these games if they’re playing like that.”

Southerland slow heating up, still a factor James Southerland knocked down three 3-pointers, but he missed his first three attempts. In his third game back following his ineligibility, Southerland is still not shooting fluidly from the floor.

Southerland finished the game with 11 points

lauren murphy | staff photographer JAMES SOUTHERLAND misfired on his first three 3-point attempts on Saturday night, but the forward hit three 3-pointers by the end of the night and finished with 11 points. on 4-of-12 shooting, and hit three of his nine 3-point attempts in 35 minutes on the floor in Syracuse’s win Saturday. After the game, Boeheim said Southerland’s still working his way back from his time away from game action.

“James hit a couple 3s, but he’s still trying to get his legs back,” Boeheim said. “He needs some more games.”

Southerland subbed in for C.J. Fair five minutes into the game. Less than a minute later,

he chucked up a 3-point attempt from the left corner that clanked off of the rim. He made up for it with a nice steal from SHU guard Brandon Mobley that set up an alley-oop from Brandon Triche to Carter-Williams.

Southerland hit his first 3-pointer with less than five minutes left in the first half, then hit another from the top of the key at the end of the half that gave Syracuse a 36-30 lead going into halftime.

He hit his third 3 about seven minutes into the second half, and that gave the Orange a comfortable nine-point lead at 51-42.

Southerland was needed in a game like this, Boeheim said after the game. Against Seton Hall’s zone, Southerland drew the defense out, especially once he started knocking down 3s. That opened up scoring opportunities on the inside.

Jerami Grant started at small forward – as he has since Feb. 2 – but only played seven minutes.

As the game progressed, Southerland became an increasingly dangerous shooting threat that Seton Hall had to account for.

“I think even though James didn’t shoot great, his presence out there is important,” Boeheim said. “He takes a defender out there and stays with him and opens up driving lanes.

He’s important for us against zone defenses.

“If we’re playing all zone, we want to keep him in the game.” rjgery@syr.edu cjiseman@syr.edu

16 Thompsons’ 10 goals torment SU defense in overtime upset 15 SYRACUSE

By Trevor Hass ASST. COPY EDITOR

THE GOOD JoJo Marasco

The senior midfielder either scored or assisted on eight of Syracuse’s 15 goals. His three-goal, five-assist performance kept SU in a game it easily could’ve lost early on, and he single-handedly controlled the first overtime period.

THE BAD Bobby Wardwell

In fairness to Wardwell, the Thompsons represent as fierce an attacking trio as any in the country. That said, he made just seven saves and conceded 16 goals from 45 shots.

THE UGLY Historic Loss

Prior to Sunday, Syracuse had never lost to Albany in 11 meetings dating back to 2004.

The Orange also hadn’t lost on opening day since a 1996 defeat to Virginia.

FAT LADY SINGS 3:03, second overtime

Miles Thompson’s game-winning crease finish with 3:03 left in the second overtime.

UP NEXT vs. Army

Sunday, 4 p.m., Carrier Dome

Ty, Miles and Lyle Thompson sat left to right at the podium, grinning from ear to ear.

Ty hunched forward with a look of satisfaction and accomplishment. Miles gazed at his brother and cousin, relishing the moment. Lyle didn’t stop smiling, his braces glistening and sweat still dripping down his cheek.

They finally did it. The trio finally got over the hump and knocked off Syracuse. Albany (1-0) up-ended the No. 12 Orange (0-1) 16-15 in a fast-paced, back-and-forth, double-overtime thriller Sunday at the Carrier Dome. Syracuse had no answer for the Great Danes’ three-headed monster, as the Thompson trio accounted for 10 of Albany’s 16 goals and assisted on eight.

After Syracuse stormed back to send the game into overtime, Miles delivered the dagger in double overtime, scoring off of a pass from his brother Lyle and igniting his team to victory.

“These guys have such a great feel for lacrosse and for each other,” Albany head coach Scott Marr said, following the first win over Syracuse in school history. “It makes it really easy for us to say, ‘What’s working? What do you want to do?’ We put it in their hands basically.”

And the Thompson trio certainly delivered.

Miles set the tone early, firing a shot past Syracuse goalie Bobby Wardwell’s right foot at the 12:33 mark.

Lyle assisted on that goal, and two minutes later found his cousin Ty around the net. Ty found an opening and squeezed the ball past Wardwell.

Lyle continued to facilitate early on, racking

h, the inimicalness between nationals oozed onto the ligneous timbers of the right-angle polygon. A year of detestation — of one side’s covetousness — gurgled inside Daryl’s Dome, climaxing in the 12-monthly tussle amid polysylWAER 64 lable pros and inscriptionincapable Joes.

THE D.O. 58 But after the final flings of the orb were flung, the cerise liquescent of Jon Harris’ knuckles irreversibly desiccated, the scribes of The Daily Orange perished at the penny loafers of the raconteurs from WAER. The wielders of ballpoints and broadsheet were a spattering of points to the fore, but the lead was renounced as rebounds caromed catawampus and blasts from beyond the 3-pence parabolic

up three assists in the first eight-plus minutes of action. Marr opted to move Thompson from midfield to attack before the game, a move SU head coach John Desko questioned at first, but later grew to understand.

“He really played well,” Desko said of Lyle, who finished with six assists. “It was a great move, moving him down there. He obviously plays well with his brother and his cousin. I thought they were spectacular tonight.”

Ty followed up that strike with yet another goal, on another assist from Lyle. The Thompsons made it clear early on they were ready to win.

Despite Syracuse’s ranking, previous success against the Great Danes and home-field advantage, the Thompsons came in with the mentality that they could stage the upset, and that’s exactly what they did.

After Syracuse goals by Henry Schoonmaker and Luke Cometti cut the deficit to 5-3, the Thompson brothers responded in the second quarter. Following an unassisted goal by Lyle, Miles intercepted an attempted clear by Wardwell, faked a high shot and beat the goaltender underneath at the 11:35 mark.

Albany dominated in all facets of the game early on as the Orange frantically tried to stop the trio, but to no avail.

“The three of them, without looking, really knows where the other one is,” Desko said.

SU didn’t go down without a fight, though.

A goal by Scott Loy midway through the third quarter tied the score at nine, capping a 6-1 run for the Orange that spanned 15 minutes.

But the Thompsons struck back with serious style. Ty gave the Great Danes a 14-10 lead,

He, his brother and cousin combined for 10 of Albany’s goals. delivering another bull’s eye right around the net. That strike gave Ty his fifth and final goal, which led all scorers Sunday evening and tied his career-high.

The game was tight the rest of the way as Syracuse continued to methodically chip into the lead and eventually force overtime. Syracuse finally shut down the Thompson trio, if only for a little bit.

But in double overtime Miles and Lyle delivered the final blow. Lyle found a cutting Miles right on the doorstep. Miles corralled the ball and hurled it into the back of the net in one motion, giving Albany the win it has coveted for 11 years.

“We’ve been playing together our whole life,” Lyle said. “I trust him, so I just threw the ball to him.” tbhass@syr.edu @TrevorHass

dehydrated. It fastened a 64-58 conquest for the airwavers, the troupe whose carroty and azure tunics mirrored the fanaticism inadequately masqueraded in their handicraft.

Commanded by a twosome of sporting correctors and hailed by a womanly assemblage that preponderated the number of X chromosomes acclaiming its adversary, The D.O. mustered an impressive tally tornado through the opening third of an hour. It galloped to the foreground riding Harris’ hardiness and Ryne Gery’s soundlessness — the former a converted news flash and the latter a taciturn, twinning assassin.

did, for a half. But I’m proud of this staff and will miss playing in this game next year.”

Evidently unhampered sans electronic fedoras, WAER besieged the transparent glass backstop on which an achromatic rectangle is sketched. Chris Lewis, a bouncy and blundering post player, fueled a revival with an inexorable quest of the rawhide pumpkin. He coalesced with Andrew Kanell, a promenading, disputatious temper tantrum, to commandeer the higher score in the waning jiffies.

Aiding the gabbers’ late-game gallivant was an admittedly boozed-up zebra. He gesticulated faux pas that were merely phantoms, swallowed his sound device amid muggings and cognized none of the parameters of James Arthur’s quadrangle.

That wasted whistleblower ultimately doomed the scribbling scribes, as WAER bivouacked itself at the 15-foot ribbon. Free toss after free toss glissaded through the snowy bobbinet en route to an unlawful guerdon.

The everyday Oranges brooded in the wake of their vanquishing, only to ruminate on the pearly perimeter shortly thereafter.

For they cavorted in knowing that every WAER hack plucks up a paper with the jovial tune of every aubade, while nay a single intelligencer in The D.O. platoon even retains a shortwave.

ensuring defeat before a crowd of 4,130 at the Carrier Dome.

The game plan was simple enough: force Albany to win with its midfield. The Great Danes couldn’t, but hardly needed to.

“At halftime, we went in and talked about staying with our original game plan and knowing who their players are, especially those three guys,” said SU head coach John Desko, referring to the Thompsons.

SU trailed 8-5 at the break, at which point the Thompsons had scored or assisted on all but one of Albany’s goals. Though the Great Danes struck first, the Orange rattled off four unanswered goals to tie the game 9-9.

Marasco keyed the run, dodging in from the X to bounce an equalizer past Albany’s Blaze Riorden just two minutes into the third quarter.

His unassisted goal lit a fire under the Orange, spurring a four-goal, five-minute run SU spent darting around Riorden’s goal, pulling defenders in and out, firing at the openings it tore in Albany’s defense.

After Scott Loy knifed through the visitors’ defense with 7:55 remaining in the third, Marr called a timeout to stop the bleeding.

“It was 0-0, it was 9-9. We said there was 22 minutes left, we said we just had to win the next 22 minutes, keep playing our game,” Marr said he told his players. “It was a game of runs, we’re going to go on our run.”

The Thompsons’ show resumed within a minute.

Lyle beat Megill and finished to Wardwell’s right at 6:51. Miles escaped a Megill-Joe Fazio double team in the corner of the end zone to get the Great Danes cycling into their offense. That possession ended with Lyle dishing right over

Steve Ianzito to Ty to put Albany up 11-9.

The wheels were spinning again for SU, and only more heroics from Marasco – he finished with three goals and five assists – quelled the Albany tide as the captain turned Doug Eich and scored from 15 yards out with 12 seconds left in the period.

“The coaches realized that they weren’t really sliding, and I’m pretty used to dodging against a pole,” Marasco said. “There was a couple of no-slides and I was able to take a couple good shots.”

The fourth quarter belonged to Syracuse and capped a 6-2 run that started with Marasco’s face-saver.

Freed up by Albany’s defensive attention to Derek Maltz, Dylan Donahue ran riot as SU looked to make the Great Danes’ early dominance a forgotten blip in an early-season scare.

His three goals in six minutes hushed the purple half of the Carrier Dome crowd.

SU ran two plays in the final 40 seconds off of timeouts. Marasco shot high with 14 seconds left, and a crease scramble ended with the ball stuck on the goal line as regulation expired.

By the end of the first overtime, Marasco had run at defenders from every angle of the attack.

Luke Cometti missed three times on the crease.

Loy’s forced shot was saved. Desko’s proverbial chalkboard was emptied. Albany didn’t need one.

Miles Thompson pumped his legs on the sideline before the second overtime. He’d been stranded at the restraining line for the entire first overtime, but found himself stranded by SU defenders less than two minutes into the second for the game-winner.

“I said to myself, ‘All I need is one chance,’” Thompson said. “They were taking like 10 shots, and I was like, ‘Just give me one chance, that’s all I need.’” jmklinge@syr.edu @MrJacobK

HALL PASS Orange punishes Seton Hall from free-throw line

By Ryne Gery STAFF WRITER

N

EWARK, N.J. — Michael CarterWilliams raced down the court, straight for the rim. Unconcerned

by Seton Hall guard Aaron Cosby’s presence in front of him, the Syracuse point guard continued with a full head of steam down the right lane.

The pair collided and crashed to the floor. The whistle blew. A block was called and Carter-Williams made his way to the free-throw line for the third straight possession — all while Syracuse was in the bonus.

A smile escaped Brandon Triche as boos began to rain down from the Prudential Center crowd. CarterWilliams calmly sank his fifth and sixth consecutive free throws, doubling his team’s lead to 12 in a matter

of 30 seconds.

“I was just trying to get to the line, be aggressive and knock down my free throws,” Carter-Williams said.

“We needed to get to the line. They kept getting to the line so we knew the refs were calling fouls, so I just decided I’m going to go to the basket strong and try to get a few fouls.”

Carter-Williams’ perfect stretch at the free-throw line midway through the second half started the Orange’s decisive run in its 76-65 victory over the Pirates (13-13, 2-11 Big East) on Saturday night. Syracuse (21-4, 9-3) never trailed in the second half and received a career-high 29 points from Triche. But it was SU’s 11 straight points at the charity stripe – a run that lasted five-plus minutes and saw the Orange go 11-for-12 – that

sealed the win.

Syracuse dug an early hole, shooting 33 percent in the first eightplus minutes while Seton Hall shot 70 percent to take a 21-12 lead. But Syracuse’s zone buckled down and held the Pirates without a field goal for the next seven-plus minutes to turn the nine-point deficit into a three-point lead.

“Obviously, when you get off to that kind of start, you’re not in good position,” SU head coach Jim Boeheim said. “We had to get some stops and we had to score and that’s what got us back in the game.”

Once the Orange took the lead, it never gave it back. SU went into the half up by six, thanks to its 12-point spurt.

OPENING DAZE Syracuse drops season opener to Albany in double overtime

By Jacob Klinger STORYTELLER

“

ASST. SPORTS EDITOR

The ball spent the majority of the first overtime rocking back and forth, in and out of JoJo Marasco’s stick. It spent all but five seconds of the first sudden death frame under Syracuse control.

After Albany dominated the majority of ALBANY 16 regulation, the SYRACUSE 15 Great Danes didn’t control the ball with any attacking intent until 3:24 in the second overtime.

Lyle Thompson cradled the ball in the corner after an Albany timeout and sprinted straight at David Hamlin. He dodged inside of his left shoulder and bee-lined for the crease. Bobby Wardwell and Brian Megill met him at the doorstep, leaving Miles Thompson to be covered by an SU midfielder that never arrived.

Lyle tossed the ball across the crease to Miles, who placed his shot right through the middle of Wardwell’s goal.

“These guys drew it up,” Albany head coach Scott Marr said after
