athy Mulford sat at the bar at Kitty Hoynes Irish Pub and Restaurant with a pint of Guinness and a shot of Jameson. She needed a little something to calm her nerves. She knew that she would be crying shortly.

A few moments later, after finishing her drinks, a deep voice came over the speaker system.

“Irish Power Hour team to the stage please,” the announcer said.

Mulford headed to the front and took a seat on the stage with eight other women. A woman with tattooed arms and hands

draped a dark green cape around her shoulders, “St. Baldrick’s Foundation” written on the front of it. The woman wound Mulford’s hair into two ponytails on either side of her head.

A library technician at Syracuse University’s E.S. Bird Library, Mulford was one of 633 people who got their heads shaved on Sunday to support the St. Baldrick’s Foundation, which funds research for childhood cancers, at the Kitty Hoynes Irish Pub and Restaurant.

Syracuse University’s tuition is expected to reach $40,380 for the 2014–2015 academic year — a 3.6 percent increase from the 2013-2014 academic year’s tuition. With that, financial aid will see a 3.7 percent increase next year.

But even though SU’s financial aid is expected to increase, some financial aid assistance programs continue to fall far behind.

New York State’s Tuition Assistance Program was put in place to help students afford higher education, but lately it hasn’t been doing that effectively, members of the New York Public Interest Research Group have said.

TAP is a form of statewide financial aid that has not been revised since 2001.

Manpreet Kaur’s favorite memory at Syracuse University is one many students find awkward: the ice cream social during orientation week.

“It is really funny, because you usually don’t end up talking to those awkward, first day of freshman year friends again,” she said. “But the friends I went to that ice cream social with are still my best friends.”

Kaur grew up in small town Amsterdam, NY, but was born in India, where her family is originally from.

While she may not live there, Kaur still holds Indian culture and traditions valuable.

“There is definitely a community on campus, specifically the South Asian Student Association,” Kaur said, who attends many of their events celebrating South Asian customs and holidays.

Kaur displays her Indian roots through participating in Orange Bhangra, a dance group on campus that performs the traditional folk dance that originated in Punjab, she said.

“Bhangra is in my blood,” said Kaur, who was initially too intimidated to try out for the team her freshman year.

Kaur eventually did build up the courage to try out, and ultimately became the Captain of Orange Bhangra last year.

“Most people that know me think I am pretty outgoing but I have ultimate stage fright,” she said. “But I have so much fun once I am on stage, I feed off the crowd’s energy.”

Kaur’s performances typically last four to six minutes, but she said it feels like she is on stage for 10 seconds.

“It is such an adrenaline rush,” she said. “My life is very much work, Bhangra, school.”

As for what her future holds, the aspiring lawyer is planning to attend law school in the fall.

“I am so nervous to graduate,” said Kaur, who had a shocking realization this past week while at Faegan’s Cafe & Pub. She noticed her graduation countdown had dwindled down to 46 days.

Said Kaur: “It surprised me so much to see that senior year has gone by so fast. Syracuse has become my second home. I will miss all the comforts I’ve found here.” jbundy@syr.edu

Professor researches app security

By Georgie Silvarole contributing writer

A Syracuse University professor is working on a program that could help protect smartphone users from falling victim to hackers.

HTML5-based apps are only becoming more popular — a recent Gartner report predicts that by 2016, 50 percent of apps will be HTML5based. With this comes an increased risk of malicious coding.

HTML5 is a program that allows a developer to write mobile web app codes which are accessible on all smartphone platforms, making it a more attractive option for developers than writing individual codes for each device, said Kevin Du, a professor of electrical engineering and science.

Although developing mobile web apps for all platforms takes less effort than writing individual code for individual software, developers risk creating a code that hackers can easily infiltrate, he said. see surveillance page 10

Students work to found film fraternity chapter

By Claire Moran staff writer

Alfred Hitchcock, George Lucas, Julie Andrews and Steven Spielberg are well-known for their contributions to the film industry, but they have something else in common. All four, along with numerous other entertainment giants, are members of Delta Kappa Alpha, the national professional cinema fraternity.

Now, four Syracuse University television, radio and film students are trying to open a chapter on campus.

“It feels like the film community on campus is very fragmented and specialized in certain areas, and we don’t really connect with each other so we want this to be a way to connect everyone,” said Losa Meru, a sophomore TRF major and one of the students attempting to

start the chapter.

Meru, along with fellow sophomore TRF majors Juan Rangel, Iara Rogers Benchoam and freshman Sarah Grabman, is pushing to start the chapter. So far, they’ve contacted the national president of DKA, Andy Dulman, and have set up two general interest meetings on campus, but the chapter has not been founded yet.

Any student who wants to be a part of the Syracuse chapter’s founding class has to go through an application process and do an individual Skype interview with Dulman. He will then choose a founding class who will go through a training process next fall.

The Syracuse organization will recruit its first pledge class in the spring semester of 2015, Dulman said.

“What we look for first and foremost is someone who has an interest in the purpose in the organization,”

he said. “We have an application and an interview simply to make sure that they understand what DKA is.”

Once it has a founding class, SU’s DK A will then become an

official colony and, eventually, an official chapter. Each chapter’s house is called the “cin-

emanor,” which includes editing and screening rooms, as well as facilities to hold costumes and equipment and serves as a place to socialize, Meru said.

Like other greek organizations, DKA has a focus on philanthropy, sponsoring a month of service in March to honor its founders and a national service partner, according to the fraternity’s webpage. Unlike other greek organizations, however, DKA chapters must put together at least one film a semester to stay active, Benchoam said.

“Artists or film students and greek organizations typically don’t overlap a great deal from my experience,” Dulman said. “It’s a very unique thing that I think a lot of students will hopefully be piqued enough by the premise of it to find out more in person.”

Tuition increases widen wealth gap for millennials

L

ogic says that if there’s a problem, you fix rather than perpetuate it.

And yet, on March 6, Syracuse University announced a tuition increase of 3.6 percent, asking for more money from a generation already $1 trillion in student loan debt. The increase is one of the smallest in 48 years. However, annual increases are leading students further and further into debt.

Private universities rely on tuition to offer their students the best education possible. However, millennials will graduate from these top-notch institutions without financial aid and with stifling debt, laying the groundwork for the rest of their lives with a cracked foundation.

In a March 27 article, Yahoo Finance reported that the staggering student loan debt is widening the U.S. wealth gap. Of the 20 million Americans enrolled in college each year, 12 million need to borrow money to attend and some will graduate with more than six figures in debt, as reported in the article.

It’s keeping graduates from investing in stocks, securing mortgages, or saving for retirement — in short, acquiring the fundamental assets for a stable future.

It’s common knowledge that the route to high paying jobs is through a college education. But that knowledge leaves students in

KATE BECKMAN IT HAPPENS

a Catch-22. Go to college, get your master’s degree, and graduate six figures deep in debt.

Success comes with a steep price. To pay that price, students have to look at their options: qualify for a merit scholarship, be an amazing athlete or come from a wealthy family.

The average college student can’t fall back on any of the above, so they seek out the next “best” thing: student loans.

The idealist sees loans as an investment in themselves, with the hope that they’ll graduate right into a high paying job with benefits.

But even if dreams do come true, student loans aren’t the only bills to pay.

So we’ll wait to start saving and rack up more credit card debt to make ends meet. It’s creating an unstable base for the future by creating a generation that owes more money than it has.

Although the government has started noticing the problem, there seems to be a struggle to implement an actual policy change. Last August, President Barack Obama proposed a plan to reduce student loan debt. The plan allowed all borrowers

to cap their payments at 10 percent of their monthly income and gave more money to the schools with better academic performances.

But that doesn’t get rid of debt. Declaring bankruptcy is the only way to absolve debt — unless it’s student loans. Get into thousands of dollars of credit card debt and you’ll be OK. Get an education you can’t afford—not so much.

For private universities like SU, funding is reliant on tuition and donations from alumni.

With the direction we’re headed though, Gen Y graduates won’t have the money to give back to their school.

Graduates are going to be indentured to our loans long into our retirement. There are countless articles written about how student loan debt is higher than ever before, but there’s no sense of urgency among universities or the government.

There needs to be a change to lower the cost of education or to reduce student loan debt. Otherwise, the future leaders, educators, doctors and journalists of the world are going to be handicapped by a lifetime of debt.

Calling rape culture ‘myth’ perpetuates behavior

B

y denying rape culture exists, it only allows for the behavior to continue.

Simply ignoring something will never make it go away.

Rape culture is when the media takes a perspective at rapes not for the crime it is, but for the circumstances surrounding it.

On March 20, Time Magazine published an essay by Caroline Kitchens in which she said rape culture doesn’t exist. In the essay, Kitchens said rape culture is only a myth perpetuated by feminist bloggers and lobbyists. But rape culture is not a result of those groups, it is something that affects our entire country every day and fuels the growing rape and sexual assault statistics.

In her essay, Kitchens said rape is a hated crime and that rapists are despised by society, but that isn’t quite true. When someone is a victim, questions start emerging but they usually have nothing to do with what the rapist did.

These questions tackle what a girl was wearing, how much she may have had to drink, what look, gesture or movement may have provoked the attack.

Our society may not say outright that rape is tolerated but its actions prove otherwise.

If rape is so despised by our society, then why were there 31 states allowing rapists to sue for custody and visitation of children conceived during rape, according to a The Wire article last August? Why has Rape, Assault and Incest National Network released a study saying there have been 32,000 untested rape kits in the U.S. within the past five years?

According to these statistics and many more, our society doesn’t despise rape as much as Kitchens thinks it does.

This is important because it tells girls and women that their voices don’t matter. It tells them that their bodies are commodities. This notion is reflected by the countless advertisements, commercials, movies and other forms of media that perpetuate negative stereo-

MANDISA SHIELDS

WHAT A GIRL WANTS

types of girls. If women are constantly being depicted as irrational liars willing to say or do anything to get attention or revenge, someone is bound to believe that notion. Unfortunately, that someone could easily be a police officer or prosecutor handling a rape casse.

Kitchens sourced RAINN throughout her essay, but cherry-picks facts to fit her argument. Kitchens took RAINN speaking out about the “unfortunate trend towards blaming ‘rape culture’ for the extensive problem of sexual violence on campus” and saw it as the go-ahead to eradicate the idea of rape culture and dismantle any efforts that go against it.

Well, RAINN also said out of every 100 rapes, only 40 rapists are reported, 10 are arrested, eight are prosecuted, four get a felony conviction and three spend a single day in jail. Let me repeat that: only three out of every 100 rapists spends a single day in jail.

Yet Kitchens is more concerned with false rape accusations and hurting men’s feelings.

According to the National Sexual Violence Resource Center, two to eight percent of reported rape cases are false. Considering that and the fact that only 46 percent of rape cases are actually reported according to RAINN, we should be more concerned with getting victims to report real assaults than with false reports.

In her essay, Kitchens argued that rape culture turns the “average guy” into a villain.

She said that it makes it hard for men to voice their opinion on this topic and implicates all men in a social atrocity. Kitchens’ view, that the hurt feelings of men should supersede the epidemic of rape and the fight to end it, is one thoroughly based in rape culture. The feelings, thoughts and perspectives of men are

at the forefront of her mind, even at the cost of the feelings, thoughts and perspectives of sexual assault victims.

No, rape culture doesn’t cause rape. It does, however, influence the ideologies and opinions of our society. It influences the opinion of the police officer who leaves rape kits untested for years. It influences the victims who are too scared or ashamed of what others may think to come forward. And, most importantly, it influences the rapists themselves.

Ennis makes right choice leaving SU early for NBA Tyler Ennis is attempting to make the most of his professional career while avoiding risks by choosing to leave the Syracuse University men’s basketball team.

On March 27, the freshman point guard announced he would leave SU early and declare for the 2014 NBA draft. Ennis is the third basketball player ever at SU to leave for the NBA after his freshman year, after Donte Greene in 2008 and Carmelo Anthony in 2003.

Ennis started every single game for the Orange this year, helping lead the team to its record 25-0 streak and launching onto the national stage with his 35-foot buzzer-beater shot against Pittsburgh.

Now is the perfect time for Ennis to declare for the draft, while he still has momentum behind him.

Ennis is also still young with the potential for longevity in his professional career, which makes him more valuable to NBA programs.

In a profession where careers are limited by athletic constraints, each year is significant.

If Ennis stayed another year at SU, he would risk injuries and losing momentum, which could be detrimental to his ultimate goal —

getting to the NBA. While some can argue Ennis should stay in college to finish his education and receive his degree, it makes sense for him to leave early for the NBA. In the same way a student would leave college early for a desirable job offer, Ennis is taking the most direct route to the big leagues.

His skill set can easily carry over to the NBA, where he can also improve as a player. Instead of staying at SU, where Ennis has to balance classes with training for games, he can improve more quickly in the NBA by working with the league’s trainers and dedicating more of his time to basketball.

Similar to Carmelo Anthony — the two both being standout stars at SU — Ennis’s skills ensure he will survive in the NBA. An NBA scout told The Daily Orange he would be surprised if Ennis didn’t play well once he reached the NBA. “That certainly doesn’t seem to be his make-up,” the scout said.

Ennis made the best decision he could in his position, taking the opportunity to benefit his professional career.

Environmentalists should take action with protests for change On March 2, SU and ESF students joined more than a thousand others from around the country at the White House to urge President Barack Obama to reject the Keystone pipeline and halt further fossil fuel development. Three hundred and ninety-eight people were arrested; 398 is also the number of carbon dioxide parts per million in our atmosphere. A photo of their 398 hands tied through the wrought iron White House fence went viral on the internet.

David Blackmon of Forbes Maga-

pass the test of whether the benefits outweigh the harms (to everyone, not just to ourselves). We can often conduct business over the internet and can have just as much fun at destinations closer to home.

A protest, on the other hand, is one of the few tools activists have, and hopefully if there are more protests, the amount of pollution we prevent — through hindering the mining of the tar sands, enacting a carbon tax, supporting renewable energy, etc.— will be greater than the harm already done. That’s the goal. Few travelers

have one as noble.

Environmentalists should not and cannot try to be perfect before they try to change the fossil fuelbased system. When dealing with multinational, multi-billion dollar corporations and corrupt politics, the verse about the “speck of dust in your neighbor’s eye” does not apply.

In this case, we are not talking about a “speck of dust” or a neighbor, but a system that is delivering billions in short-term profits for the few and deadly or dislocating climate disasters for the other six billion.

Blackmon calls the students “ignorant” for not appreciating the importance of fossil fuels, but the UN estimates that rich countries must reduce fossil fuel pollution by 80 percent to avert the most horrendous climate disasters (like all of Florida underwater).

Amongst young activists and engineers, hope abounds. Is this optimism merely ignorance? Perhaps they’d rather be naïve and progressive than realistic and underwater.

Professor travels to Micronesia, aids in protection of islands’ endangered snail population

By Leanna Kirschen staff writer

A

State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry professor is helping the United States protect endangered snails in Palau, a chain of islands that are part of Micronesia.

Rebecca Rundell, an assistant professor in the department of environmental and forest biology, has been traveling to the Palau Islands to analyze shrinking snail populations.

“So much of Palau remains to be explored that we are still in the process of finding new species,” she said in an email.

On Palau, there are 117 species of snail alone and 95 percent of these species can’t be found anywhere else on Earth, said David Bullis, a graduate student in ecology who works for Rundell.

Biologists are still discovering information about these snails, so they are not sure exactly how many are endangered, he said. However, Bullis added that it is estimated that most snail species are endangered or critically endangered.

Ten years ago, it was assumed that there were about 60 species of snail, Rundell said.

She said that about half of the species are endangered, but the biologists can only include already identified species in formal species assessments. While biologists are still finding new species, some are going extinct, she added.

“If a habitat is cleared or is changed by encroachment of non-native plants, if microclimate changes even subtlety, generally snails end up dying,” she said.

She said that, contrary to popular belief, when conditions change snails don’t move to neighboring forests, but are wiped out.

“When you are talking about species that live on tiny islands like Palau, these are the species with very small geographic ranges to begin with,” she said, “So, when you clear an area, you could be destroying most of the species.”

Rundell has studied a group of diverse, nonendangered snails, said Brenden Holland, an associate researcher for the Center for Conservation Research & Training.

The U.S. has its own endangered species list, but the group Rundell works with is not on it because none of the snail species of Palau are listed on it, he said. However, he added, there are international definitions of the word endangered.

These species are found on the International Union for the Conservation of Nature Red List of

illustration by natalie riess art director

Threatened Species. The inventory includes species that may be in need of conservation.

Holland said these snails are distributed across the Atlantic Ocean, in Guam, Palau, Micronesia, Fiji, Samoa and French Polynesia.

“The issue with them intensified when the West opened up the Pacific to European colonization,” he said.

People brought invasive species like rats, pigs and mongooses into the islands, which killed native populations, he added.

Palau is a forward-thinking Micronesian

country, Holland said, adding that the country is dedicated to conservation and ecotourism.

They encourage tourists to come and go diving to see native fish and plants, he said.

Rundell said that the Palauan government is very receptive to conservation efforts and she considers herself a partner with them in these efforts.

“I give them as much information as I can so that they may make informed decisions,” she said.

She informs them in a variety of ways, including working with non-profit organiza-

tions such as the Palau Conservation Society and with government offices such as the Republic of Palau Bureau of Agriculture.

Rundell also thinks that educating the children in Palau is very important, adding that when she visits Palau, she runs programs with students on why the forest and the snails are important.

Said Rundell: “Just like here in the U.S., kids can start to grow up increasingly disconnected from the forest, and just looking for things that are more modern or better.” lwkirsch@syr.edu

petition earn 12 SU credits before rushing a sorority or fraternity.

Since the online petition was launched on Change.org Thursday afternoon, it has received almost 150 signatures. The Student Life Committee has also been gathering signatures through written petitions since Monday.

In total, the petition had more than 350 signatures as of 8 p.m. on Sunday, said Aysha Seedat, chair of the Student Life Committee.

The Student Life Committee will likely continue gathering signatures until Friday before presenting the petition to the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Affairs, Seedat said.

“We’re just trying to get as much support as possible. The Office of Fraternity and Sorority Affairs — they don’t make these rules based on how they think. They’re doing it because they think that’s what benefits the student population,” Seedat said. “They’re sensible people and as long as we show them ‘Hey, the student population is against this rule’ then they’ll actually probably take that into account.”

Before starting the petition, Seedat met with Eddie Banks-Crosson, director of FASA, to get his thoughts on changing the rule. He told Seedat that the one-semester rule is in place because the university wants students to know about all the opportunities on campus before getting involved in greek life,

Seedat said.

FASA declined to comment on the petition.

Students in the greek community have largely supported the petition, Seedat said.

When she presented the petition in one of her classes last week, every person in greek life wanted to sign it, she said.

Carrie Abbott, director of first-year and

transfer programs, said she had not heard about the petition but that she supports the one-semester rule.

“I can tell you that I’ve been very familiar with that policy,” she said. “I think it’s really important for students to transition to the university before they take on such an extensive commitment.”

The petition is part of a larger effort by the Student Life Committee to improve the experience of transfer students at SU. In order to better understand the issues transfer students face, the committee has been meeting with administrators and has also conducted a survey of transfer students living in Skyhalls.

“One of my committee members is actually a transfer student. He lives in Skyhall and he said ‘All of us are invisible there. You have to get us out of here,’” Seedat said.

Any transfer student that requests housing is automatically placed in the Skyhall dorms on South Campus, Seedat said, so she met with Lisa Chestney, assistant director of FYTP to see if this could be changed. Chestney told her that transfer students are all put in the same building in order to foster a sense of community and shared experience. Since there is no other place to put all transfer students together, this policy is not likely to change, Chestney told her.

Discouraged, Seedat and her committee began brainstorming other ways to help ease the transition process for transfer students.

As part of this process, the Student Life Committee decided to conduct a survey of transfer students in Skyhall. The committee members went door to door and eventually gathered

responses from 82 transfer students.

The committee got the following data: • Forty-eight percent of transfer students surveyed felt disconnected or very disconnected on campus.

• Fifty-two percent of respondents said living in Skyhalls has negatively affected their campus involvement.

• Fifty-nine percent of those surveyed said the current one-semester rule did not help with their transition to campus.

• Forty-eight percent indicated that they would rush during their first semester on campus if they could.

Committee members plan to knock on more doors in Skyhalls and have launched an online survey as well, Seedat said.

Abbott, the director of FYTP, said she had not seen the committee’s survey results. FYTP has conducted a survey of transfer students as well and got similar feedback, she said.

Issues such as housing and course availability are much more pressing concerns for transfer students and Abbott said she would like to see those topics addressed before the greek life policy. But Abbott said she’s happy that people on campus are talking about the issues transfer students face.

“I think it’s important that we work together as a campus community to help our transfer students feel welcomed and acclimated to campus,” she said. “So I’m glad the discussion is happening.”

at 2 p.m. Benchoam, Meru, Rangel and Grabman said that the general interest meeting isn’t just for TRF or film majors.

They said they are looking for people with a wide range of interests from improvisation to marketing.

“We expect people from so many different majors to join, that things that we’re not learning right now we expect them to teach us and vice versa,” Rangel said.

Grabman said that this collaboration is helpful in an industry that so often has a repu-

tation for competitiveness, but is highly reliant on cooperation.

“You can’t make a film by yourself,” Grabman said. “You always have to be able to work with people.”

RUSH HOUR Approximately 500 students come to SU as transfer students each year.

= 25 people

Current policy Transfer students must earn 12 SU credits before rushing a fraternity or sorority.

Proposed policy Transfer students would be allowed to participate in greek life during their first semester at SU.

nypirg and something we say around here at NYPIRG is that it’s time to give TAP a facelift,” said Julia White, NYPIRG project coordinator. “It’s woefully outdated.”

The current cap on grants from TAP is $5,000. NYPIRG members are urging state legislators to increase the cap to $6,500 in response to the rise in tuition at schools in New York.

On the steps of the New York City Hall last Tuesday, about 50 activists from NYPIRG gathered to unveil their platforms for reforming the New York state’s TAP program.

“The tuition increase is so intense compared to TAP being reformed,” White said.

A higher cap on TAP grants is one of six platforms that were revealed at the news conference. Another platform outlines extending TAP to more students, such as undocumented students, who are currently ineligible for assistance under the active criteria.

“The fact that (undocumented students) aren’t eligible for TAP, it’s a social justice issue that we definitely need to pass,” White said.

Currently, White said graduate students, students in default of federal loans and incarcerated students are ineligible for TAP assistance.

NYPIRG members, like White, think that a reform to TAP would help the entire economy, not just individual students.

“From an economy standpoint, it makes more sense if we support (students) through college so they can better the economy as opposed to hindering it,” said NYPIRG member Jeniea Howard, who is also a junior in the College of Arts and Sciences.

NYPIRG regional director Ted Traver attended the news conference and said that it took place before the state budget passed to ensure that the issue of making higher educa-

tion affordable in New York state is fresh in Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s mind.

“There are many aspects of this that could make it into the budget,” White said. “That’s why we’re calling (Governor Cuomo) and filling his voicemail box.”

Syracuse NYPIRG members showed support for the reform by calling the governor, since most could not be in New York City for the Tuesday news conference.

“Actually, his voicemail inbox was full (on Monday night) — which I’ve never heard of,”

The tuition increase is so intense compared to TAP being reformed.

Julia White nypirg project coordinator

White said. “I’ve been calling the governor for a couple years now for multiple different issues to make sure that my voice is being heard, and generally (that)’s never the case.”

Howard said this made the members of Syracuse NYPIRG even more motivated to push for the cause.

“It got everyone really empowered because it was like, ‘is this his voicemail?’ It’s so crazy,” Howard said. “It got everyone in motion to actually continue calling every day.”

If Gov. Cuomo does not include an update to TAP in his executive budget, NYPIRG members will continue to urge the state legislature to back the reform before the end of the term.

Said White: “It’s really those types of grassroots movements and taking advantage of rights that we have that put the power behind a platform like TAP reform and make it really successful.” rjshafer@syr.edu

surveillance Thanks to grants from Google and the National Science Foundation, Du and his graduate students have been working on a program that will scan the Google Play store apps for faulty coding. A prototype of the program is expected to be completed this fall.

When users do something as simple as connect to a Wi-Fi network, scan a QR code or play an MP3 file, they could be granting a hacker access to their device, Du said.

The code can allow the hacker to gain access to contact lists, mobile banking information and locations, Du said.

Carlos Caicedo, an assistant professor at the School of Information Studies, said he also believes HTML5 will continue to rise in popularity, and added that he teaches his students to use HTML5.

“I do see a potential rise in mobile web apps because the libraries of codes can be used to build powerful applications with very few commands,” Caicedo said.

The only issue, he added, is the stability. If an app is written individually using JavaScript, it is not nearly as vulnerable.

Xing Jin, a doctoral candidate at SU, has worked with Du on software security for the past year and a half. His work with Du current-

ly consists of finding mistakes in a developer’s coding and alerting them of the issue.

“If the developers aren’t aware of this kind of attack, they’re still making the same mistakes. I will help to protect them and their systems,” Jin said.

He added that by helping the developers, he is also helping protect the general users from devastating damage.

For users to protect themselves from having information stolen, sold or used, Du suggested avoiding downloading apps that haven’t often been downloaded, scanning QR codes that aren’t affiliated with a recognizable organization and avoiding unprotected Wi-Fi hot spots in places like coffee shops and airports.

Du said he and his students take pride in helping smartphone users avoid becoming victims.

Jin agreed he did have the ability to be a hacker himself, but chooses to protect smartphone users from evil people.

“Professor Du always said, ‘You need to have an evil mind, but have a good heart,” Jin said.

Jin hopes to work for a company like Samsung after his graduation in finding ways to protect the software the devices run from malicious coding.

“I would like to use my knowledge to help the systems developer,” Jin said. “I would like to see my work implemented within Samsung’s technology to benefit the greater good.” gmsilvar@syr.edu

SU drama puts on comedy “The Good Woman of Setzuan” has humor, philosophy

By Elaina Crockett asst. copy editor

For half of the show, Jesse Roth hid behind a mustache and pinstriped suit. Her hair was pulled back enough to fool the audience into believing she was a man, until the end of the play, when her pregnant belly protruded out.

Presented by the Syracuse University drama department, “The Good Woman of Setzuan” is a comedy as much as it is a social experiment, challenging the concept of good and evil in complicated situations. From March 28 to April 13, SARA FREUND, a senior writing major, placed five or six zines in each building across campus as a means of spreading happiness to SU students.

Happy days Student places zines around SU as part of feel-good mission

By Clare Ramirez design editor

W

hen the dog bites and when the bee stings, sometimes all we need are a few words of wisdom to lift our spirits.

That’s the idea behind happyCUSE, a new project started by senior writing major Sara Freund.

Freund makes zines, little booklets that resemble mini magazines, and leaves them all around campus.

The zines incorporate a “happy” theme and are filled with doodles and quotes about happiness and living life without worries.

“This is just a positive thing I

want to do,” Freund said. “Sometimes it’s just so gloomy or snowy that you just need a pick-me-up.”

It all started when Freund learned about zines in one of her writing classes last week. Everyone in her class made zines and took them around campus to ‘shopdrop’ them, which means taking the zines and leaving them in places relevant to what they’re about.

“At first, I was stuck. I didn’t know what to do or write,” Freund said. “And then my professor asked me, ‘Where do you imagine putting this?’ and I said that I just want to make someone happy.”

Jason Luther, a graduate student in the composition and cul-

Freund drew inspiration for the happyCUSE project from a class speaker who talked about DIY publishing. margaret lin photo editor

tural rhetoric program, came into Freund’s class to teach the students about zines. He said that with DIY publishing, students can circulate their writing immediately and practice getting their writing out before they enter “the real world.”

“I was also imagining a lot of the zines would be critiques or criticisms, but it’s really cool to see Sara take this in such a positive tone,” he said.

After showing a few friends the zine she made in class, Freund decided she wanted to expand to a much larger scale. Wasting no time, she went to the copy center the next day, made 100 copies and folded each one herself.

Freund then went to every build-

ing on campus and placed at least five or six in each one.

“I even placed a couple extras in the Life Sciences building because I thought the students there might be a little more stressed,” she said, laughing.

On the back of the zines is the hashtag #happyCUSE, which Freund said she wrote so that people could share it once they found it. She also made a separate Twitter account to keep track of people’s responses.

“I put the zines out around 2 p.m. last Tuesday and only an hour later, I started getting several responses,” Freund said.

set the scene “The Good Woman of Setzuan” was written by German playwright Bertolt Brecht between 1938 and 1943, when he was exiled in the United States.

The play was first performed in Switzerland in 1943 and was originally going to be called “The Product Love.”

Syracuse Stage is hosting the show.

“The Good Woman of Setzuan” takes place in China, during an unspecified time. While some characters wore traditional Chinese attire, others dressed in modern clothing, essentially creating a surreal environment for the audience. The narrator, in a hoodie, asked everyone to turn off his or her phone while rapping to an impromptu beat.

“The Good Woman of Setzuan” chronicles the story of Shen Te, a struggling prostitute played by Roth. Three gods come down to the city of Setzuan to see if there are any good people still around.

Shen Te gladly lets the gods stay with her, but she doesn’t admit her profession until after they spend the night, thanking her for her hospitality. After she tells them her financial situation, they give her money to help pay rent.

When people in the neighborhood begin to take advantage of her kindness, Shen Te creates an alter ego by pretending to be her male cousin, Shui Ta, who handles all of see setzuan page 12

st. baldrick’s microphone up to her mouth.

“I’m Cathy,” she said.

“You’re Cathy?” he replied.

“I’m Cathy Mulford.”

“Cathy Mulford from the Irish Power Hour,” he said. “What’s your story? Why did you decide to do this?”

“I love to volunteer, for charities and things.

And there’s my best friend, in front of me, Cheryl who survived cancer before I knew her,” Mulford said, not distracted by the buzzer running over her scalp. “And I’m a big fan of go big or stay home.”

Mulford’s best friend, Cheryl Pellizzari, who survived non-Hodgkin lymphoma, was her inspiration to raise money to help find cures for cancer.

SHAVES THE DAY St. Baldrick’s Foundation raises money through donations from supporters of shaving event participants, who are sponsored similarly to charity runners.

There have been more than 1,100 St. Baldrick’s shaving events around the United States this year, which have raised more than $25 million for childhood cancer research.

“It’s only hair and to me it’s only hair, but it’s very significant to the ones that lose it,” Mulford said.

Mulford’s goal was to raise $1,109, in honor of Pellizari, whose birthday is Nov. 9. She exceeded her goal by $500. The Kitty Hoynes location raised a total of $417,714, putting it in fourth place for most money raised at a St. Baldrick’s event worldwide.

“I’m excited to participate in something so big,” Mulford said a few days before the event.

“I’m excited because I think we can help.”

But she wasn’t always excited. A few years ago, she watched as her friend Erin Greco — who sat next to her this year — participated in this event. Mulford said she doesn’t know what clicked this year, but she said to herself, “I’m doing this.” She texted Greco and said, “I’m doing the shave with you.” That’s when she experienced “sign-up remorse.”

“I was really scared and nervous for about

five days,” she said. “But as I told more people, I got more comfortable.”

The buzzer continued over her head, and a smile spread across her face.

“Here’s one,” the woman said, handing Mulford a foot-long, red ponytail. Another woman came over with a broom and began sweeping away the piles of hair that sat in front of the stage.

She grabbed hold of the ponytail with an open mouth. She let out a sigh and closed her eyes for a moment. She let out another sigh and the smile returned to her face.

She held up the ponytail, and the bar broke out in cheers. Her smile grew.

“That’s a lot of hair,” she said examining it as she lowered her arm.

“That’s only half,” the woman said.

Mulford looked around her. Her team had eight female members, all sitting by her side, getting their heads shaved with her. As Mulford looked around, she began laughing.

“Is this the new look for me?” she asked the crowd.

“You look great,” said her daughter, Natalie.

The woman handed her the second ponytail, and this time, Mulford shot it right up into the air.

“Number two!” she shouted.

The woman took a brush to her head to wipe off any left over hairs. Mulford’s eyes closed tightly but a smile was still on her face. She opened her eyes and ran her hand over her shaved head.

“Oh my God! Oh my God!” she said.

“I have a mirror, do you want to see it too?” the woman asked.

“I don’t know,” Mulford said, breaking out into laughter. But she picked up the mirror and admired her new look. “I look kinda cute.”

Mulford took off the green cape and packed her ponytails into a zip lock bag. She jumped off the stage to hug her daughter and Pellizari.

As Mulford got ready to leave Kitty Hoynes, she didn’t experience any type of remorse.

“I’m good, I feel really good,” she kept saying. She held her bag of hair tightly, pointing out the gray hairs.

She headed to the door and acknowledged the cold chill of the Syracuse air on her newly bare head.

“I feel really cold,” she said. She laughed at the new feeling, and slipped a bright yellow hat over her head. jdelaney@syr.edu

her financial affairs. When she is not pretending to be Shui Ta, she continues her quest to help others.

“I’ve never had a part where I’ve had to be on stage forever, so that was exciting to be part of the play; to take the audience with the cast through the story as the protagonist,” said Roth, a junior acting major.

The characters used every space possible for their piece: each scene contrasted with the others.

“The set design is amazing in a theater this small,” said Elizabeth Tucci, an audience member.

The performers typically played two different characters each, hiding behind strategically placed walls and shades to change costumes. Roth had to switch between characters the most.

Andrew Garrett, a junior acting major and assistant director, played another main character, Yang Sun, Shen Te’s lover. Their most powerful scene together was their initial meeting, where Shen Te stops Yang Sun, an unemployed young pilot, from hanging himself.

Garrett said he was drawn to the style of the play.

“This is an epic theater piece. The playwright wrote it during World War II,” he said.

Shen Te ends up getting pregnant, and although they were engaged, Shen Te, as Shui Ta, realizes Yang Sun really just wants her money. Yang Sun planned to move to Peking to continue his piloting career. Shui Ta, now concealing his stomach, tells everyone that Shen Te ran away, as he tries to figure out what to do.

“She is coming to terms with the fact that she can’t be just good or just bad, that both is in her,” Roth said.

After noticing Shen Te’s disappearance for six months, people grow suspicious of Shui Ta. He is then arrested for being responsible for Shen Te’s disappearance. Meanwhile, the gods come back to Setzuan to see how Shen Te is doing and if she is still good. In court, Shui Ta confesses and admits to really being Shen Te. The gods are then displeased with her as they realize she is no longer good, as she deceived everyone.

The play ends with the narrator agreeing that the ending is unfortunate, and that the audience should write a better ending.

Said Garrett: “What would you do? That’s for me what is so great about the show. I wish more theater did that, make people ask questions.” ekcrocke@syr.edu

BC Restaurant, located in Armory Square, is the first place where I didn’t regret ordering chicken. The roasted half chicken with duck confit, potato hash and parsnips was totally worth its price tag of $22.

But the waiter assured me that the chef pulls this entree together in a non meatheavy kind of way. I finally trusted her input after asking her about five other entrées on the menu and taking nearly 15 minutes vacillating between options.

The chicken was the centerpiece when my dish arrived. Pieces of duck meat and thinly sliced potatoes were scattered underneath the chicken breast and thigh.

The flavorful fat from the duck added depth of flavor to the chicken juice, which lightly flooded the duck and the thin sliced potatoes.

The chicken was perfection down to its multiple textures and flavor. The breast and thigh

PAG E 13

Though pricy, BC Restaurant serves up stellar, flavorful dishes from a huge pot to nearly half a pot, and the result was a savory, sweet and slight saltiness that balanced well with the juicy chicken.

Although this $22 entree was worth it for me, others might care more for a deal. Their “3 Courses, $30” menu is the option for thin-walleted diners, which I also tried and had the Caesar salad, the steak Diane and coconut creme brulee.

The Caesar salad was topped with croutons and pickled anchovies. I love fish, so I ate the anchovies alone. It tasted tender, fishy, sour and salty, which was exactly what I expected and very satisfying. I moved on the salad, which wasn’t drenched in Caesar dressing. The dressing was only lightly tossed in, which kept the salad crispy, refreshing and light — as it should be.

The waiter brought out the second course, the steak Diane — an 8-ounce sirloin topped with their house sauce. The chef reduced wine and cognac with garlic, onions and a generous amount of mushrooms to create a delicious sauce that bound the whole dish together. The chef did a rough chop of the garlic, leaving huge pieces enough for my tongue to feel numb and tingly. It was the perfect steak and potatoes dish.

However, the presentation wasn’t quite as appealing. The sauce, steak and potatoes were all tinted brown. A garnish of steamed carrots or green beans would be a nice pop of color.

I was pretty full, but still wanted my dessert — the coconut creme brulee. Each bite wasn’t just simply the candied sugar crust and the creamy custard, which were already irresistible, but topped with a little bit of fresh minced pineapple. It was a refreshing and sweet taste in every bite.

I left the restaurant stuffed and with no regrets, and that’s rare. I’ll be happy to eat chicken and steak at BC Restaurant again any day — well, when I have a fat wallet again, of course.

Kim and Kanye on Vogue cover poses controversy for fashion fans

V

ogue is the bible of fashion.

Anyone and everyone in the fashion industry looks to its glossy pages for trends, forecasts, style tips and just to look at the magazine’s beautiful clothes. Being on its cover is literally one of the most prestigious things that could happen to a person.

Those who grace the cover of Vogue are the crème de la crème of the fashion and celebrity world: Taylor Swift, Kate Upton, Princess Diana, Jennifer Aniston.

And now we can add Kim Kardashian and Kanye West to that list. The pair dons the cover of Vogue’s April 2014 issue in a white, silk wedding dress and a black tuxedo.

What were you thinking, Anna Wintour?

Well, according to a March 21 article in UsMagazine, she was thinking: “Part of the pleasure of editing Vogue, one that lies in a long tradition of this magazine, is being able to feature those who define the culture at any given moment, who stir things up, whose presence in the world shapes the way it looks and influfrom page 11

happycuse happyCUSE was meant to be anonymous, Freund said that it didn’t really start that way.

It became anonymous when a photocopy cut her initials off at the bottom, but Freund said she thought it was cool.

Freund added that she will continue making zines throughout the remainder of her time at SU, but isn’t sure if someone else is willing to continue what she began.

ences the way we see it. I think we can all agree on the fact that that role is currently being played by Kim and Kanye to a T. (Or perhaps that should be to a K?)” There’s been speculation about whether Kim would ever land a Vogue cover; there have been rumors that Wintour was not her biggest fan and that Kanye had been pushing Wintour to have his fiancée be in the magazine in some way.

However, it seems that several magazines were fighting over getting to have the duo on their covers — New York Magazine said that other magazines competing for the pair included Vanity Fair and Harper’s Bazaar. I’m not exactly sure why there are so many magazines fighting over one of Hollywood’s most

famous pairings, but they are all entitled to have whomever they choose on their cover.

While I respect Kim and Kanye as entertainers, I don’t think that they fit the image of past Vogue cover stars. The celebrities that I associate with Vogue are classy, sophisticated and mature superstars.

When I think of Kim and Kanye, all I can think of is the drama-filled episodes of “Keeping Up With the Kardashians” and Kanye interrupting Taylor Swift at the MTV Video Music Awards back in 2009.

Kanye has more than once been known to let his anger get the best of him, and both he and Kim have each been in sex tapes. Do we really want this to be what the younger generation who reads this magazine to look up to?

The pair has stepped up their maturity levels in the past two years or so, though.

Kim formed her new fashion line, and Kanye released a new album, proving that both of them know how to take their careers seriously.

And with the birth of their baby girl, North, the

two have shown that they’re capable of taming their wild sides.

Although I’m not a big fan of the two celebs, I do have to admit that their spreads within the magazine are simply gorgeous. It shows them in a more sophisticated, subdued light that we are not used to seeing.

The couple, along with their daughter, North, posed for photographer Annie Leibovitz in a wedding-themed spread. Kim showed off multiple gorgeous white gowns while Kanye donned a number of suits. North joined her parents in the shoot, wearing a few adorable dresses.

While Kimye might not be my cup of tea, I guess I have to trust Wintour’s judgment on this one.

I mean, she is the queen of the fashion industry. Who can argue with that?

“That would be really cool if someone wanted to keep making these zines. I don’t have anyone in mind, but it would be great,” she said.

Carla Licata, a senior biology major and one of Freund’s close friends, said she was not surprised when she found out about happyCUSE. Licata shared that she and Freund’s sisters at Kappa Alpha Theta have a statistic that they like to “throw around.”

“We like to say that Sara is always 20 percent happier than the happiest person in the room,” Licata said. “She always lets the little

things go and reminds us to focus on the bigger, more important things in life.”

Licata added that she was impressed at the success of happyCUSE so far, especially with the responses Freund has gotten on Twitter and Instagram.

Freshman public relations major Maria Ingaglio found a happyCUSE zine at the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications, coincidentally after the happyCUSE account followed her on Twitter. She tweeted a picture of the zine and tagged happyCUSE in it, saying that

it brightened her day after exams and meetings.

“When I first saw the account, I thought, ‘Am I really ever going to see one of these on campus?’” she said. “But finding one was perfect, and it just made me smile.”

Ingaglio also said she thinks the entire concept is fun and cute, especially “if you’re not looking for them.”

Said Ingaglio: “Even if you don’t know what happyCUSE is, it’s a positive reminder that makes you happy even for at least a second.”

Goalies impress against Notre Dame

After Syracuse secured its biggest win of the year, goalkeepers Dominic Lamolinara and Bobby Wardwell were the first two in line to shake hands with the Notre Dame players.

And after moving through the line of dejected Fighting Irish players, the two walked toward the locker room arm in arm.

In the Orange’s win Saturday, the two goalkeepers turned in phenomenal performances.

Bob played great in the second half. He made a bunch of saves one-on-one, a couple that he should and a couple that he shouldn’t have.

John Desko su head coach

They split time and played nearly identically successful halves, giving up just five goals each and combining for 13 saves. Additionally, Notre Dame’s leading scorer Matt Kavanagh was held scoreless in the contest.

Desko — who has stuck with the formula of starting Lamolinara before subbing in Wardwell for most of the season — said he was pleased with the way his goalkeepers handled Notre Dame’s pressure rides.

“We haven’t seen a ton of that this year, so

we kind of had to adjust as the game went on,” Desko said. “Actually, this was a great game experience for us to get those kinds of rides and be able to deal with them.

“We gave up a couple too, but I thought we got better as the game went on.”

Lamolinara started for the Orange and yielded five goals on 21 shots.

Leading 7-5 at the half, Desko switched to Wardwell, who last Sunday against Duke allowed just eight goals on 22 shots after replacing Lamolinara in the second half.

And he turned in another solid relief performance against the Irish.

“Bob played great in the second half,” Desko said. “He made a bunch of saves one-on-one, a couple that he should and a couple that he shouldn’t have. He competed and we felt good about putting him in.”

Syracuse attack Kevin Rice mentioned a pivotal save by Wardwell after the game. Rice will be credited with the game-winning goal, but he recognized that the junior goalie set it up.

“Bob made a great save down at the other end,” Rice said.

When the final horn sounded and Syracuse’s players stormed the field, Lamolinara was the first player jumping in front of the Syracuse goal. He first hugged Sean Young and then found Wardwell, and the goalkeepers embraced before heading off the field together.

Since last season, Syracuse has split its time at the goalie position. On Saturday, both Lamolinara and Wardwell proved that Syracuse is doing the right thing by playing them both. pmdabbra@syr.edu | @PhilDAbb jmhyber@syr.edu

Kobelt falls to freshman stud Loeb in 7-0 loss to Tar Heels

By Ryan Raigrodski staff writer

After battling back and forth for the entire second set, Maddie Kobelt won three straight points to give herself three chances to win the set against the No. 1 ranked women’s tennis player in the country, Jamie Loeb.

Unfortunately for Kobelt, Loeb just executed the big points better. She would save the three straight set points Kobelt had to send it to deuce, and then save another set point at deuce before closing the game out.

From there, Loeb failed to lose another game, breaking Kobelt’s serve and then holding on to win the tight second set 7-5 and the match 6-0, 7-5. For the day, No. 8 North Carolina (193, 8-1 Atlantic Coast)) defeated Syracuse (3-10, 3-5) 7-0 Sunday at Drumlins Tennis Club.

As the match ended, the crowd gave Kobelt a standing ovation for her efforts against Loeb, although it came in defeat.

Jamie played great today. I give her credit.

She is a great player.

Shelley George su interim head coach

“She came up with some great returns,” Kobelt said. “She did great with the pressure.

Even when I had the chance to break her at 5-4, she came up with the big shots at the right time.

That’s what makes her above everyone else.”

To save those three set points, it took everything Loeb had. Down 4-5, love-40, Loeb hit a great passing shot as Kobelt approached the net. Kobelt employed the same strategy on the next point, hitting a volley as she approached the net, but Loeb was able to hit a passing shot that clipped the tape on the net before whizzing past Kobelt. To save the last of the three straight set points, Loeb hit a serve so big Kobelt could not place her return in play.

After battling back to draw the game even at deuce, Loeb handed Kobelt another chance

defense With Syracuse leading 1-0 midway through the first quarter, Matt Harris was called for a 30-second technical for holding, forcing a man-down situation. Six SU players packed within eight yards of the cage — Mullins shadowed Kavanagh, and Bobby Tait knocked around Doyle.

Irish long-stick midfielder Henry Williams finally got a shot off, but it was deflected wide by Scott Firman. Pat Cotter took a shot moments later but it was turned aside by SU goalie Dominic Lamolinara.

Kavanagh — who took a team-high seven shots — looked to tie the score at 3-3 early in the second quarter. But his attempt was denied by Lamolinara.

In the third quarter, a helter-skelter play led to a point-blank chance for the Irish. But Young checked Doyle, forcing a wobbly shot that was saved by junior Bobby Wardwell, who replaced Lamolinara in net at the half.

to take the set by double faulting. But again Loeb would not allow Kobelt to finish her opportunity, hitting another passing shot over Kobelt’s head as she approached that clipped the baseline and fell in play. Loeb would not allow Kobelt another opportunity, hitting a serve that drew a long return followed by an ace that led her to shout, “Let’s go!”

“Jamie played great today,” SU interim head coach Shelley George said. “I give her credit.

She is a great player. She does have that No. 1 ranking behind her. Maddie played a great match today and I’m really proud of her effort.”

After failing to finish her set points and take the match to a third set, Kobelt struggled. At love all, Kobelt netted an easy put-away overhead and at 15-all, netted an easy put-away volley after a strong serve. From there, Loeb was just too good.

She hit a forehand passing shot on the straight run after a volley by Kobelt that zoomed right past Kobelt and gave her break point.

Kobelt would approach down 30-40, but Loeb’s passing shots carried too much power, forcing Kobelt to make the error and give Loeb the deciding break.

“When the pressure was on she came up with some great shots,” Kobelt said. “And I missed some opportunities as well.”

Before the second set started, the match appeared like it would be a routine blowout for one of the best women’s players in the nation.

Loeb absolutely dominated the first set, taking it 6-0 and barely allowing Kobelt to win any points.

Kobelt’s strategy to keep approaching and rely on her volley game worked much more effectively in the second set and slowed down Loeb’s momentum. She also got her first-serve percentage numbers up, hitting much more powerful and betterplaced first serves throughout the second set.

Loeb went from running away with the match to facing set points against her seemingly out of nowhere — but she edged the senior and lived up to her growing pedigree as one of the nation’s best players.

“I executed my game more, and getting my first-serve percentage up,” Kobelt said. “I didn’t make enough first serves to be effective in the first set. And I think she was grooving in on the second serve and she had her confidence up.” rlraigro@syr.edu Moments later, a disgruntled Kavanagh was called for an unsportsmanlike penalty.

He walked to the 50-yard line with his hands on his hips and his head swaying backand-forth.

Trailing 10-8 with just more than nine minutes left in the fourth quarter, SU midfielder Sergio Salcido rode Kavanagh hard to the ground. When he stood up, Young came over and sent him back to the ground and soon, the physical defensive effort would yield a marquee win for SU. Saturday’s game against Notre Dame marked the beginning of the second half of the season. In the first half of year, Syracuse was troubled by star players and collected zero ACC wins.

But against the Irish, Kavanagh went scoreless and the Orange turned a page.

“We knew he was a really good player,” Young said. “We knew Mullins was going to draw that one-on-one matchup, so we had to do quick slides to him all game and know where he was at all times.” jmhyber@syr.edu

Richardson stymies Duke in scoreless 2nd-half stretch

By Tyler Piccotti staff writer

As soon as Duke’s Taylor Trimble scored with 14:52 remaining in the second half, Syracuse goaltender Kelsey Richardson shouted in disgust and whacked her stick on the Carrier Dome turf.

But it was a lone moment of obvious frustration during an otherwise authoritative performance between the pipes.

Handed a slim 10-7 lead coming out of halftime, Richardson proceeded to string together one of her best halves of the season.

She held No. 8 Duke (7-4, 2-2 Atlantic Coast) scoreless for a key 14-minute stretch and

I’ve never liked Duke since I’ve grown up. So it was just extra motivation for me I guess.

Kelsey Richardson su goalie

made three big saves as the No. 3 Orange (101, 3-1 Atlantic Coast) slowly pulled away for a 19-15 victory Saturday afternoon.

“I wanted to come in and kind of provide that spark for our team,” Richardson said.

“To start pulling ahead and getting a larger lead, so I was really focused.”

Although the junior netminder allowed a goal

by Maddy Morrissey only 57 seconds out of the break, she quickly took control of the SU crease.

Only two minutes later, she forced the Blue Devils to squander a free position opportunity by maintaining a great angle against Morrissey.

Then she did the same against Kerrin Maurer.

Duke picked up the rebound, but was unable to do anything with it. Richardson stopped two point-blank shots and the Orange regained possession.

Meanwhile, Kailah Kempney and Lisa Rogers aided their goalie with two conversions at the other end, and completely swung momentum in the Orange’s favor.

“We try on offense to reward our entire team by putting points up on the board after

S

our defense has a long possession,” attack Alyssa Murray said. “We don’t look at it like, ‘Oh, Let’s try and do something creative.’

“We think, ‘Let’s just get it in the back of the net.’”

And while the SU offense picked up its pace, the Blue Devils didn’t score again until the 14:52 mark. By that point, SU’s offense had fashioned a commanding 15-8 lead for Richardson to protect.

Richardson’s assertive play couldn’t have come at a better time for Syracuse, which struggled to build a lead despite dominating the shot chart and draw circle in the first half.

She watched as teammate Alyssa Costantino surrendered seven goals and made only one save during the first 30 minutes. All the while, she knew that head coach Gary Gait would call her number in the latter frame.

“I’m there first half for Alyssa (Costantino) and hope she does the best she can and cheer her on,” Richardson said. “In the back of my mind of course, I’m saying, ‘Focus,’ for when I come in the second half.”

That focus was apparent as the clock slowly ticked away. She foiled yet another free position opportunity and intercepted a Morrissey pass for good measure midway through the period.

She didn’t allow another goal until Maurer cut the Duke deficit to eight with only 7:56 remaining in the game. By that point, Gait had begun to trickle in subs from the SU bench, something he didn’t expect against a talented conference foe.

“Our core players provided a lot of opportunities for those other players,” Gait said.

“It’s great for some of the younger players to get in there when that happens against a Top10 team. It’s just awesome.”

Once the game ended, Richardson was met with a high-five from Kaeli O’Connor and congratulations from the rest of her teammates.

The anger following her miscue against Trimble had been replaced by a huge smile, one that signified a satisfying performance against a hated opponent.

“I’ve never liked Duke since I’ve grown up,” Richardson said. “So it was just extra motivation for me I guess.” tfpiccot@syr.edu

duke

as it was finally able to dust the No. 8 Blue Devils (7-4, 2-2), 19-15 in front of 997 fans at the Carrier Dome on Saturday.

After Duke quickly cut the lead to 10-8 following halftime, Syracuse methodically delivered blow after blow to Duke with an 8-1 run that spanned 18:06 of game action.

“We got a real big run at the draw there in the second half of the first half and gave us some possessions and we put our opportunities away,” SU head coach Gary Gait said. “I thought their defense tried some shutoffs and I thought we stayed poised.”

In the first half, Syracuse had several chances to pad the lead, but couldn’t.

Kayla Treanor juked a defender, and found an open Taylor Poplawski. Her goal put the Orange ahead 4-3. After a slow start, Syracuse had appeared to turn the corner.

“They were face-guarding me so I just got the ball and I tried to take my defender one v. one,” Treanor said. “Taylor was wide open and Taylor made a great play finishing it.

“It’s always good when you get the lead.”

But the lead didn’t last long. Two minutes and a Duke free-position shot later, the score was tied again — this time at four.

It wasn’t until the second half that Syracuse’s lead would become insurmountable.

“I thought our team played very well, executed and built a substantial lead,” Gait said.

“And it allowed us an opportunity to get some

of our other players in there.”

Seven different players scored during the late run, but it was Murray who served as the spark. She assisted on three of the goals and scored on two more.

Before her first goal, she ran around the defense to the right of the cage, before cutting in front of the net and firing in a shot.

It put the Orange up 17-9, and was the 30oth point of her Syracuse career. Just a minute later she scored again and Syracuse had doubled up Duke.

“She’s done it since she showed up on campus,” Gait said. “I think that’s what I appreciate the most is the work ethic, the killer instinct, the wanting to win every practice, every game.”

After the game, Murray sat at the press table, proudly sporting her “Beat Duke” T-shirt. She had first started wearing it for Tuesday’s practice, the first of the week.

Now that the goal had actually been accomplished there was no longer any motivation to win, just pride that it had happened.

For more than the first half of the game, there was certainly reason to question whether Syracuse could make it happen.

The second half only provided answers.

“What we talked about after the game is that every game is an opportunity to learn and improve,” Gait said. “And that’s kind of the way we look at it. Whether you win or lose, you’re playing against the best, so you’re going to learn something about yourselves.” sblum@syr.edu | @SamBlum3

Newborn, Avgerinos miss opportunity to give SU doubles point

By Matt Miselis staff writer

Facing a 5-3 deficit with her partner Maria Avgerinos, Rhiann Newborn delivered two consecutive serves that kept the duo in its doubles match against North Carolina.

But Newborn committed a double fault late in the match, a costly mistake that derailed SU’s chance at earning the doubles point.

“It was frustrating. I should not have double-faulted that,” she said.

Syracuse (3-10, 3-5 Atlantic Coast) lost 2-of3 doubles matches and stood no chance in its 7-0 loss to No. 8 North Carolina (19-3, 8-1) on Sunday at Drumlins Tennis Club. The freshman pairing of Newborn and Avgerinos had the opportunity to capture its biggest victory since becoming a doubles team.

But the lack of execution in the tiebreak was the difference against the battle-tested Tar Heels.

Syracuse interim head coach Shelley George recognized that her freshmen squandered an opportunity against UNC’s Caroline Price and Whitney Kay, the 11th best doubles pairing in the country.

“We were just a few points short of taking the doubles point, and that really would have helped us with the momentum going into the singles matches,” George said.

Newborn and Avgerinos stayed loose and confident as they secured a 6-5 lead in the match. But North Carolina immediately roared back, tying the score and never allowing the freshmen to comfortably hold the lead.

They responded by attacking the Tar Heels with aggressive serves, which gave the Orange a 7-6 lead. Instead of continuing in attack mode,

though, Newborn and Avgerinos stayed conservative and that hurt their chances as the match wore on.

North Carolina pushed it to a tiebreak by tying the game at 7-7, where Newborn and Avgerinos faltered and were never able to recover.

“We really needed to close that match out,” George said. “When they were up 7-6, I think they got a little too defensive at that point. They needed to stay aggressive and close out the match.”

In the tiebreak, UNC pounced on the inexperience of its opponents. The Tar Heels raced out to a three-point lead and placed plenty of pressure on the Orange.

Avgerinos said it’s crucial to always move forward, and that Sunday’s loss is another reminder that you can’t show fear to your opponent.

“One of the important things is showing your opponent that you’re never giving up,” she said, “so

they don’t think that they can just walk over us.”

Newborn attempted to turn the tide through her powerful serves, but her own miscues effectively ended SU’s chances of taking the doubles point. She had two miscalculated serves that led to a double fault, and a four-point advantage for North Carolina in the tiebreak.

A month ago, she recorded a double fault against Virginia Tech and pulled out the victory. This time, though, Newborn was incapable of overcoming a crucial mistake against a Top-10 opponent.

George recognizes the amount of pressure placed on Newborn as a freshman, and is confident she will use these matches as a learning experience moving forward.

Said George: “Hopefully as she matures as a player, that kind of stuff won’t creep up in her game.” mjmiseli@syr.edu

Daddio was eventually thrown out there, but won just 1-of-7 in a pitiful 21-7 humiliation.

“What a difference a week makes,” Desko said after beating UND on Saturday.

O’Connor took the faceoff to kick off the second quarter, and the Irish buried an equalizing goal six minutes in.

We played awful last week in every phase of the game, but he gets the blame for it. So I’m glad he came out here and played awesome today. He should get all the credit for the win, too.

notre dame at 68.5, and the country’s No. 2 faceoff specialist in senior Liam O’Connor.

But Daddio pieced together his most impressive performance of the season at a time his team needed it most.

At 1-3 in ACC play, the Orange sits at the dead bottom of the ACC standings. With enough fortune and perhaps a turnaround at the X, though, Syracuse might be able to sneak into the late-April conference playoffs.

“Everyone pins it on the faceoffs,” attack

Kevin Rice said. “We played awful last week in every phase of the game, but he gets the blame for it.

“So I’m glad he came out here and played awesome today. He should get all the credit for the win, too.”

In three of SU’s last five games, Daddio had been pitted against a faceoff specialist that now ranks in the country’s top 15.

And the results showed. Daddio won just 5-of-17 against Maryland. Five-of-22 at Virginia. Three-of-16 at Johns Hopkins.

At Duke on Sunday, SU head coach John Desko sent out an untested freshman in Daddio’s place to take the game’s opening draw.

But that was only temporary. The rest of the quarter was Syracuse’s.

Daddio picked up his physicality at the X, boxing out O’Connor and throwing shoves to create space. He won 5-of-7 faceoffs the rest of the period, and with them the Orange attack capitalized to head into the locker room with a 7-5 lead.

“I wasn’t winning them clean, but I was staying down on the ball and fighting,” Daddio said, “My wings helped me a lot, so it came together.”

Daddio won 3-of-4 in a third quarter dictated by tough defense, while a score by Rice allowed SU to enter the fourth quarter up by one.

A Dylan Donahue goal pushed Syracuse’s lead to two, and Rice capped off a possession won by Daddio with a score. The Orange was

ahead 10-7, with 13:41 standing between SU and potentially its biggest win of the season.

But Notre Dame grabbed two of the next three draws and strung together a 3-0 run to knot the score at 10, with 6:29 left on the clock and the game in the hands of whichever side would have the ball more.

Daddio won the next draw, but Rice turned the ball over behind the cage. After getting a stop on defense, SU pushed it back the other way in transition.

Quick ball movement within the box, from Randy Staats to Donahue to Rice, set up Rice for a shot from the left doorstep. After a hesitation move, he cut back toward midfield for a better angle and fired it inside the left post to put Syracuse ahead 11-10 with 2:05 left.

Daddio won the next faceoff by violation, the SU defense got one more stop in the final minute and the Orange stormed the field having finally joined the rest of the ACC in the conference win column.

“At that point, I thought it was the game,”

SPREADING THE WEALTH A combination of Chris Daddio, three wings and violations by Notre Dame accounted for Daddio’s 15 faceoff wins against the Fighting Irish on Saturday.

20% - VIOLATION 13% - SCOTT FIRMAN

20% - HENRY SCHOONMAKER 20% - CHRIS DADDIO

27% - PETER MACARTNEY

Rice said of his fourth and final goal, “with the way that Chris was winning faceoffs and the way we were making them work for everything.

Chris made it so they didn’t even get a chance.” pmdabbra@syr.edu | @PhilDAbb

hen Syracuse flopped in its first three attempts at an Atlantic Coast Conference victory, Chris Daddio was always the scapegoat.

Opposing faceoff specialists beat him time after time as the Orange never had enough pos-

sessions to compete with its new conference foes, let alone beat them, and the Syracuse defense spent too much time, frankly, playing defense.

But when SU finally got over the hump for its first-ever ACC win Saturday, Daddio was the reason why. The SU senior captured 15-of-24 draws to lead No. 9 Syracuse (5-3, 1-3 ACC) to a

potentially season-changing 11-10 victory over No. 7 Notre Dame (4-3, 2-1) before an ecstatic audience of 5,454 at the Carrier Dome on Saturday afternoon.

“I just came out more confident, tried to forget about the beginning of the season. Obviously, I didn’t have the best start,” Daddio said. “I just tried to forget about that and come out

confident like I’ve been having a great season the entire time.”

Notre Dame came into the Carrier Dome with what was supposed to be the perfect formula to beat Syracuse, and officially squash SU’s hopes of an ACC tournament appearance.

Syracuse uses 2nd-half surge to bury Blue Devils

By Sam Blum asst. copy editor

For the first 34 minutes of the game, neither Syracuse nor Duke could build on its momentum. When the Blue Devils jumped out to a quick

3-1 lead just 7:27 into the game, the Orange responded with three goals of its own.

When Syracuse built an 8-5 advantage with five minutes to play in the first half, it took Duke less than four minutes to cut that lead

to one.

Each run was met with another, and neither team could find a way to cushion the lead.

“You get in a rut sometimes,” SU attack Alyssa Murray said. “Teams take runs, that’s how lacrosse is, but

we just try and get bigger runs and more frequent runs.”

It was a Murray feed to Kailah Kempney with 26 minutes to play that sparked a massive run for No. 3 Syracuse (10-1, 3-1 Atlantic Coast),

Notre Dame had 50 seconds left to force overtime.

After three quick outlet passes, the ball landed in the cradle of Irish attack Matt Kavanagh. Notre Dame’s leading scorer ran past the Carrier Dome’s 20-yard line with a full head of steam and a chance to tie the score.

But Kavanagh was called for a crease violation on his dodge attempt at the net and turned the ball back over to Syracuse.

“We knew Kavanagh was going to be a pretty quick, shifty guy,” said Syracuse defender Brandon Mullins, who was given the assignment of covering the sophomore.

On Saturday, the No. 9 Orange (5-3, 1-3 ACC) edged No. 7 Notre Dame (4-3, 2-1) 11-10 in front of a crowd of 5,454 in the Carrier Dome.

The SU defense bullied the Irish attack, holding Kavanagh — who entered the game with a team-leading 20 goals and 11 assists — to just two assists.

“The defense was the best we’ve played all year, team-wise,” Syracuse head coach John Desko said.

Kavanagh entered the match coming off a seven-goal performance against Ohio State on Tuesday, which tied Notre Dame’s single-game record. And he had also scored at least three goals in five of the team’s previous six games.

“I just had to stay low and try to stay with him. I thought my defense did a great job helping me out when I needed slides,” Mullins said. “Like Coach said, I think this was definitely the best our defense has played so far.”

Syracuse played a zone defense against the Irish with Mullins shaded towards Kavanagh’s side. Sean Young drew the assignment of Conor Doyle, who led Notre Dame with four goals on the day. But Young — whose physicality led him to throw his body around — caused three turnovers and picked up three groundballs.

It was a battle each time Notre Dame entered the offensive third, but also a dominant performance from the Syracuse defense.

“I don’t think they scored a goal without having the ball for two to three minutes at a time,” Syracuse attack Kevin Rice said. see defense page 16
