Top nuclear negotiator to attend forum

By Kathleen Ronayne DEVELOPMENT EDITOR

A top North Korean nuclear negotiator will travel to the United States this week for talks involving the Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs.

Ri Yong Ho, North Korea’s negotiator to the six-party talks on nuclear disarmament, will attend the forum, which will be held in New York City from March 7-9. The forum is considered track two negotiations, which means the U.S. government does not have formal involvement, said Victoria Nuland, spokeswoman for the State Department in a press briefing Thursday. Representatives from the Maxwell School did not provide any details on the talks, but SU has a decade-long history of academic exchange with a North Korean university.

The meeting comes about a week after the United States agreed to give food aid to North Korea if North Korea freezes its uranium enrichment program and allows international inspectors in. Although this is a sign of recent progress, the two countries have not followed through on agreements to freeze programs in the past.

In the absence of formal diplomatic relations, the idea of track two talks is that both sides may come back and share information with their respective governments. Because details of the forum are not being released, it’s hard to predict what will come of the talks, said Chico Harlan, East Asia correspondent for The Washington Post and an SU alumnus.

But Ri Yong Ho, a vice minister of North Korea’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, is a significant player in North Korean foreign policy, and his visit is noteworthy.

“I doubt this would’ve happened a year ago,” Harlan said.

The Maxwell School has a 10-year history of communication with Kim

Syracuse completes regular season with one loss

DION WAITERS (3) and his Syracuse teammates hold the 2011-12 Big East regular-season championship trophy after SU’s 58-49 win over Louisville on Saturday. The Orange clinched the title with a win last weekend after Connecticut, but it showed the trophy off to the 33,205 in the Carrier Dome this weekend.

SU finished the regular season 30-1, the best regular-season record in Jim Boeheim’s 36 seasons as head coach. The Orange has a double-bye for the Big East tournament and will play its first game Thursday at noon in Madison Square Garden. SU will play West Virginia, Connecticut or DePaul. SEE PAGE 20

Indie-rock band Real Estate to headline Bandersnatch

By Erik van Rheenen ASST. FEATURE EDITOR

Indie rockers Real Estate will headline University Union’s second Bandersnatch Music Series concert of the spring semester. UU

Bandersnatch

University Union’s second Bandersnatch Music Series concert of the spring semester.

Where: Schine Underground When: March 28, 8 p.m.

How much: $5 for SU and SUNY-ESF students with a valid student ID

officials announced the band will play March 28 in the Schine Underground at 8 p.m. with a soon-to-be named opener.

“We wanted to focus this semester on indie-rock bands,” said Jonathan Groffman, the executive adviser to Bandersnatch. “We wanted to mix it up and do something different.”

Tickets for the concert go on sale Monday at the Schine Box Office.

Syracuse University and the State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry students can purchase tickets for $5

with a valid student ID. Real Estate released their sophomore album “Days” in 2011 after their critically acclaimed self-titled debut. The band has garnered praise from music critic websites, including a 79 percent score on Metacritic and an 8.5 from Pitchfork Media.

“I know a lot of people are interested in finding new music, and Real Estate is on the rise,” Groffman said.

“It’ll be a good way for people to break up the week.”

Groffman said the opener would be announced after Spring Break.

UU is offering a reduced combined ticket price of $8 for students who buy a ticket for both the Real Estate concert and an upcoming concert sponsored by the Music and Entertainment Industry Student Association and WERW student radio station.

“We think these shows appeal to the same audience and don’t want the price to discourage students,” Groffman said. “We want everyone to go to both shows and get the most out of both of them.” ervanrhe@syr.edu

Say Yes, an organization dedicated to increasing high school and college graduation rates in urban cities and providing college tuition for Syracuse’s urban youth, recently received $845,000 in donations that was later matched by SRC Inc. Most of the money will go toward a scholarship worth $610,000 for students interested in pursuing science, technology, engineering or math degrees, said Lisa Moore, director of development for Syracuse Say Yes.

Senior class marshals WERW, MEISA to host Titus Andronicus for 2013 grads chosen

By Erik van Rheenen ASST. FEATURE EDITOR

By Jen Bundy STAFF WRITER

Students in the Class of 2013 will conclude their college careers at Syracuse University on May 12, 2013, inside the Carrier Dome, the very same place they first started their journeys four years ago.

As the newly selected 2013 senior class marshals, Stephanie Kranz and Kishauna Soljour will carry the class banner to begin SU’s 159th commencement ceremony.

Kranz, a mathematics and policy studies dual major, and Soljour, a television, radio and film and African-American studies dual major, will both fulfill the newly expanded role of representing the Class of 2013.

Along with carrying the banner into the Dome for commencement, both students will now represent their class by meeting with administrators, networking with alumni, attending special campus-wide events and assisting in the decision process to choose the commencement speaker,

according to a Feb. 27 SU news release.

This prestigious position honors accomplished individuals on campus who “exemplify the spirit of the senior class,” according to the release.

A selection committee elects class marshals based on the students’ academic achievements, organization involvement, community service and essay responses, according to the release.

Sylvia Langford, associate vice president for Student Affairs and chair of the senior marshal selection committee, said in the release that this year’s applicant pool was outstanding. Langford could not be reached for comment.

Kranz is a Founders’ Scholarship recipient who served as co-executive director and treasurer for Habitat for Humanity and as a dispatcher, EMT and personnel supervisor for SU Ambulance.

Soljour is a Golden Key International Honor Society Scholar who acts

“There’s been a big want for a rock show,” said Kyle Kuchta, assistant general manager for WERW. “There’s been a lot of rap and electronic shows here lately, and it gives students another option.”

Tickets go on sale Monday at the Schine Box Office to all Syracuse University and State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry students for $4 with a valid student ID.

Titus Andronicus is a lo-fi punk band hailing from New Jersey. The group is set to release its third fulllength album this year. Their last album, 2010’s “The Monitor,” was ranked as Pitchfork Media’s 10th best album of the year in 2010.

“Titus Andronicus has been on our radar for a while, and we finally decided to just go with it,” Kuchta said. “I’ve seen them live, and they put on a great show.”

Chemistry professor remembered for dedication

By Breanne Van Nostrand ASST. COPY EDITOR

Benjamin Burtt will be remembered by his colleagues and students as a pleasant, organized professor with a passion for teaching and a great influence over those he taught.

The former Syracuse University professor emeritus died at age 91 on Feb. 23 in Columbus, Ohio. He taught

chemistry at SU for 47 years.

“He was so professional. He was so sure of himself. He knew what he was going to do, and he developed that in his students’ minds,” said Sally Mitchell, a 1982 SU alumna. “He really loved what he did.”

Mitchell, now a chemistry teacher at East Syracuse-Minoa High School, keeps a photo of Burtt from the 1940s

in her classroom, and Burtt’s son gave her Burtt’s original “magic” chemistry demonstration book. She said she models her teaching style after the late professor.

Burtt was well known for his lecture on water in his freshman chemistry class toward the end of each semester. In that lecture, Burtt would perform various

SU is the only U.S. institution with a sustained relationship with institutions in North Korea, he said. Although the governments of both

experiments that were both entertaining and informative.

“Everything he did was funny, and he kept a straight face the whole time,” said Mitchell.

“It was the most entertaining chemistry demo show that I’ve ever seen.”

The water lecture will be recreated and performed June 21 in Stolkin Auditorium, Mitchell said, as a public event in honor of Burtt. She will be using flasks, test tubes and beakers that Burtt handed down to her during the experiments.

Mitchell attended Burtt’s water lecture each year during her time at school, and she credits it as her inspiration to become a chemistry teacher. She said Burtt’s son, Academy Awardwinning sound designer Benjamin Burtt Jr., has put together tapes of the lecture on DVD to preserve it.

Aside from his love for teaching chemistry, Burtt is remembered for another passion: bird watching.

Burtt knew birds backward and forward, said Roger Hahn, assistant professor emeritus of chemistry at SU. Burtt penned a weekly column for The Post-Standard for more than 50

“We’re a university that’s built some trust with North Korea,” Thorson said.

Hahn recalled seeing Burtt come to work with his head bandaged one day in the 1970s. He said Burtt had climbed a tree to try and observe baby owls but had been attacked by the mother, a tribute to his willingness to go that far to get some information.

Both Hahn and Don Dittmer, professor emeritus of chemistry, noted Burtt’s organized teachings, grading style and enjoyable, understandable lectures.

“He always had a good sense of humor, and he was always highly organized in his teaching and lectures,” Dittmer said.

Hahn said Burtt was always concerned with grading his students fairly, designing his exams in a specific way and analyzing the results afterward, something from which Hahn said he learned. Hahn said Burtt, who started teaching in 1946, was friendly and welcoming when Hahn joined the SU faculty in 1965.

Burtt is survived by his wife, Dorothy, his daughter, Ruth, and his son.

Said Hahn: “I think he has left a legacy to his family, his students and the community, and that is something to be proud of.” brvannos@syr.edu

For the past 10 years, several scholars from North Korea have come to campus for fiveweek periods. Maintaining communication and building relationships through nongovernmental channels is an important part of diplomacy, Thorson said.

“I could not be more excited or humbled,” Kranz said on the honor of being a class marshal.

Kranz said the main reason she applied for the honor was to represent her time of transition at SU. “My freshman year at SU, I didn’t feel like I fit in,” said Kranz, who considered transferring from the university during her freshman year.

As she became more involved during her first spring semester, her sentiments changed, Kranz said.

“My view shifted from feeling like an oddball at SU to realizing I am a lot like everyone here, with the drive for the common good and

In addition to the uniqueness of the relationship between SU and Kim Chaek University, the forum is a somewhat rare opportunity for gathering information about North Korea, Harlan said.

helping others,” she said.

When Langford told Kranz the final news of her selection in the Schine Student Center, all Kranz could do was hug her.

Soljour, a self-proclaimed introvert, said she didn’t believe the news of her selection at first, which she received in a computer lab on campus.

Soljour said she is excited and honored to carry the Class of 2013 banner and to represent her fellow classmates. As a shy person, getting involved on campus completely changed her outlook, she said.

Both students will be able to share their unique experiences with university officials, such as Chancellor Nancy Cantor, to better SU in the future.

Although people have been saying congratulations, Kranz said the news has not sunk in yet.

Leaders must provide specifics of change to alcohol policy Syracuse University is updating its policy on alcohol-related emergencies, Student Association President Dylan Lustig announced in late February.

Although updating the policy is important, the announcement lacked necessary details.

News the codes would change came out when Lustig mentioned it on CitrusTV’s “SA Today.” Updating the policy adds a first step for students who are intoxicated and in need of medical assistance in alcohol-related emergencies. Instead of facing probation on first offense, students will be reprimanded.

The logistics of the policy still need to be determined before anything can be written into the codes. The goal is to write the additional step into the codes by the end of the semester. Because the policy has to be part of the judicial system, it has to be written into its codes.

EDITORIAL by the daily orange editorial board The lack of information given by SA and the university causes confusion. The policy was first referred to as medical amnesty, but the proposed change would not grant full amnesty. Also, students may think they are able to call for services now without the intoxicated student being put on probation, but this is not the case yet.

If SA and the university are to acknowledge the change publicly, they must be able to provide specifics for students as to what the change entails and exactly when it will go into place.

Moving forward, SA and the university should be open with information regarding the change and where they are in the process.

Santorum’s lead weakens after criticizing fundamental US institution

A

fter Rick Santorum’s losses to Mitt Romney in Arizona and Michigan last week, the chance he will become the Republican Party’s presidential nominee is weakening.

This may be best for the GOP when running against President Barack Obama. If the party intends to win over independent voters, issues on social positions should reflect modern America, not the America of the late 1800s or 1950s.

The number of registered independent voters has increased. About 2.5 million Americans have left the Democratic and Republican parties since 2008, according to a USA Today article.

The Republican nominee has to appeal to the moderates, not to the far right.

Santorum’s positions on issues like education, contraception, abortion and religion are views that may have been popular in years past. Now, he just makes America seem primitive.

News Editor Editorial Editor Feature Editor Sports Editor Presentation Director Photo Editor Copy Chief Art Director Development Editor New Media Editor Special Projects Editor Asst. News Editor Asst. News Editor Asst. News Editor Asst. Feature Editor Asst. Feature Editor

Santorum vocally expressed his dislike of the separation of church and state last week. He said, “What kind of country do we live in that says that only people of non-faith can come in the public square and make their case. That makes me throw up,” on ABC’s “This Week.”

The religious persecution arguments Santorum and other GOP candidates offer are unsupported. Religion is not under attack because church and state continue to be separated, as Santorum wants people to believe.

Religion has no role in politics, as our founding documents state. Individuals are free to express their religion, but political decisions must be made without God or the Bible. Religion does not deal in facts or science, it rejects them. If we are to govern ourselves, we do so based on facts.

Earlier this month at a forum in Columbia, Mo., Santorum spoke about

to the left, to the left the euthanasia policy in the Netherlands. Individuals suffering from fatal diseases may choose to end their lives through medical assistance. He stated 10 percent of all deaths in the Netherlands are from euthanasia, and he said the elderly often do not visit hospitals for fear they will be forced to be killed for budget reasons.

This figure is wildly incorrect and clearly Santorum he has no knowledge of the law. Euthanasia is never forced, and it is a highly regulated process. His use of invented facts and ignorance has angered the Dutch for

pretending to understand their country — myself included, as I am both a U.S. and Dutch citizen.

If Santorum visited the Netherlands, or many other European countries, he might be shocked at how advanced their cultures and quality of life are when compared to the United States. The Netherlands was the first to legalize gay marriage. Prostitution and marijuana are also legal.

If, as Santorum suggests, “Satan has its sights on the United States of America,” perhaps the Netherlands would be a good place to look for damage. So far, the United States is falling behind the Netherlands in issues like infrastructure, transportation and education. Satan hasn’t left his mark yet.

On education, Santorum called Obama a “snob” for wanting everyone to go to college. Obama has expressed the idea of making college affordable and ensuring that all who

would like to go to college can. He is not saying everyone should go to college. Santorum also contradicts himself, as he holds two advanced degrees. Making college affordable should not be controversial.

The fact that Santorum is still in the race for the presidential nomination demonstrates Americans do not care about his social views or that they actually agree with him. Either way, Santorum will have a difficult time winning over independent voters with his positions, which are not in line with mainstream America.

Meanwhile, the rest of the modern world is watching a presidential candidate who believes the United States is under threat of Satan.

Ian Eagle explains past experiences, path to successful broadcasting

By Corey Crockett STAFF WRITER

Ian Eagle began a discussion with Syracuse University students Friday by setting the record straight: “Yes, it’s my real name,” said the voice of the New Jersey Nets.

Eagle, a 1990 graduate of the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications, spoke in

“In this business, you have to fully immerse yourself.”

the Halmi Room of Newhouse III about his experiences and path to becoming a successful broadcaster as well as the unique places his career has taken him.

For Eagle, it all started with a dream from when he was a teenager growing up in Queens,

SAY YES FROM PAGE 3

pursuit, this newest scholarship is geared specifically toward science and technology. Moore said this is because of the multitude of science and technology industries in Syracuse.

N.Y. At Syracuse, he said, he quickly realized his dream was attainable.

“I was going to do everything in my power to make it happen,” Eagle said.

After joining WJPZ his freshman year, he gained on-air experience quickly, announcing women’s basketball games at the Carrier Dome.

He then joined WAER his sophomore year, where he was given more opportunities to call high-profile games. He also joined UUTV, now CitrusTV, to gain on-camera experience, he said.

“In this business, you have to fully immerse yourself,” Eagle said.

In addition to his work with the Nets, Eagle does play-by-play for CBS, calling NFL games every Sunday and men’s college basketball games during both the regular season and the NCAA Tournament.

In addition to his involvement on campus, Eagle said internships are another crucial place to gain real-life experience. He interned with then-recent graduate Mike Tirico for three years, producing Tirico’s radio show and filling

in when the busy sports anchor for WTVH, the CBS affiliate in Syracuse, was not there. Eagle said he hosted 10 shows during his senior year.

After graduation, Eagle said, he turned down on-air television jobs to be a producer and work behind the scenes at WFAN, one of New York’s most well-known sports radio stations — against advice. He said people told him if he wanted to be on the air, he shouldn’t take the job.

After a year of working behind the scenes at WFAN, Eagle said he finally got his chance.

After filling in for a one-minute sports update, Eagle was added to the schedule and his responsibilities grew. A year later, he was working seven days a week hosting and producing sports talk and football coverage, he said.

In 1994, Eagle got the job with the Nets, and began his tenure with CBS soon after.

Since joining CBS Sports, he has also called boxing matches from Las Vegas, Grand Slam tennis and the NCAA track and field championships.

“I’ve never called a fight,” he said, recalling a conversation he had with a CBS executive the

day of the match. “I’ve never been to a fight. I’ve never been in a fight.”

But he insists that taking every opportunity is important, with thorough preparation.

“I said yes,” Eagle said. “I didn’t hesitate, I didn’t ponder it. … I said yes.”

Giancarlo Rulli, a senior broadcast and digital journalism major, said it was beneficial to hear about Eagle’s background and how his experience can be “an avenue for others.”

“Well, it’s unbelievable,” said Eric Gallanty, a freshman broadcast and digital journalism major. “It reassures you that you made the right choice.”

Eagle encouraged those in the room to become students of broadcasting by listening to play-by-play, watching the news and studying what it is that professionals do that work — and what does not.

“If you want to be a broadcaster, every single day and night you can learn,” Eagle said. “It’s like taking a graduate course every day, and to this day, I still do it.”

“Some of the most successful companies in this city are focused on technology, and we want to encourage students to pursue this field. We would love to home grow students to go to college here and then work in the community and stay here,” Moore said.

The donations totaled $845,000 and came from a variety of corporations. Lockheed Martin Corp.

contributed $250,000, Anaren Inc. gave $50,000 and an anonymous donor gave $160,000, Moore said.

The remaining donation was made of $150,000 from O’Brien and Gere for community organizations and $100,000 from M&T Bank for the general scholarship fund. Other corporations and individuals added another $135,000.

The total donation amount has been matched

by SRC, Moore said.

SRC, a nationally recognized research and development company, announced it would match the money Say Yes raised for scholarship and endowment during last year’s Say Yes in the Dome Day, up to $5 million, Moore said. This past year, Say Yes has been continually raising money to meet that challenge.

She said the promise from SRC is what has helped Say Yes get to where it is now.

Though the organization was focused on raising awareness, this year’s Say Yes in the Dome Day differed from last year’s because the organization’s main goal this year was to thank Say Yes’ corporate sponsors, said Pat Driscoll, director of operation for Syracuse Say Yes. At the game, Dome staff and cheerleaders

wore green Say Yes to Education shirts. On the back was the quote: “Because every kid deserves to watch the game from the student section.”

WHAT IS SAY YES TO EDUCATION?

Say Yes to Education Inc. is a national, nonprofit education foundation that works to increase high school and college graduation rates for urban youth. The mission of the organization is to help youth that are economically disadvantaged but have extraordinary potential. The Syracuse Say Yes is housed within the Syracuse University School of Education and is in partnership with the university and the Syracuse City School District. The Syracuse chapter is unique because it is the first Say Yes chapter to include an entire city school district. This has made it the largest school improvement program of its kind in the United States.

During timeouts and commercial breaks, the jumbo screen played a video featuring testimonies from Say Yes scholars. SU’s cheerleading squad led a Say Yes cheer shouting, “Syracuse!

Say Yes! Syracuse! Say Yes!” Corporate representatives also stood on the court, including Jim Fox, CEO of O’Brien and Gere; Greg Larioni, vice president and Syracuse site general manager of Lockheed Martin; and Drew James, president of SRCTec. SU Chancellor Nancy Cantor welcomed and thanked the donors. She said it was their contributions that made Say Yes possible.

Moore said she thought the event was successful.

“What Say Yes Day in the Dome did was really show how broadly Say Yes is reaching out to the community,” Moore said. “A lot of our corporations were able to meet the students they were helping, and that’s where the power is.”

Mike Velasco, a freshman sport management major who attended the game, said he believes Say Yes is a program that helps improve students’ futures.

Said Velasco: “It’s an awesome way to spread the word. You can do other kinds of advertising, but there are over 30,000 people here.” seschust@syr.edu

Faculty utilize resources of Adirondacks campus, offer full-semester courses to students

By Shannon Hazlitt

N

STAFF WRITER

estled in the heart of a 15,000-acre forest preserve in the Adirondacks is SUNY-ESF’s Northern Forest Institute, which is now offering students the opportunity to take full-semester courses for the first time.

Students who sign up for “Understanding the Park,” the residential semester worth 16 credits, will live in cabins at the Huntington Wildlife Forest in Newcomb, N.Y. The goal of the program is for students to learn about ways to promote cooperation between people and the environment through studying numerous topics.

“We realized we have a pretty great resource up there,” said Paul Hai, program coordinator for the State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry’s Northern Forest Institute. “We’ve been doing educational outreach there for many years, but we’ve never actually done an academic semester before.”

Hai said he will teach two of the classes that will be offered: “Adirondack Experience” and a selected topics course.

He said that with the legacy, research knowledge and connections ESF has to the Newcomb campus, the residential semester can provide students with a really unique and integrated experience of how the Huntington Wildlife Forest functions.

“When you integrate multiple perspectives, you get a much broader understanding of the history of the problems the park faces as a mixture of both human communities and natural communities,” Hai said.

Hai said the program is trying to balance the Adirondacks, the largest wilderness reserve on the East Coast, with the economic development of communities. Much of the classwork will be outdoors, he said.

Students will address problems hands-on by forming panels on subjects, such as the debate about logging in the Adirondacks, and by visiting working logging mills and forests where logging is taking place, Hai said.

The Newcomb campus has efficient cabins, dorms and a dining hall.

Students can take a variety of courses on topics such as political science, social science, ethics, environmental philosophy and human dimensions to learn about how the Huntington Wildlife Forest can move ahead on conservation

priorities, Hai said.

There will be no prerequisites for the program, which is open to any interested upperdivision undergraduate or graduate student from the SUNY system or private universities, Hai said.

Students will also be taking a three-credit independent study course, Hai said, in which they will write a paper outlining their vision for the park and how they believe such a vision could be accomplished.

“It’s a wonderful place to do this kind of work,” said Marianne Patinelli-Dubay, who will teach an ethics course at the Newcomb campus.

“You can really be in residence with the ideas and the topics we will translate in class.”

Patinelli-Dubay also said students in her class will use readings that outline some of the topics about how the land is used, who uses it and how restricted areas are handled.

“I am really looking forward to bringing students into that ongoing conversation,” she said.

Katherine Tiedemann, a freshman environmental science major, said she is most eager about the location of the program.

“I kind of like being out in less urban areas,” she said. “I think it reflects more of the ESF values.”

Jocelyn Gan, a junior environmental science and renewable energy major, said she believes the program can serve as a study abroad experience for ESF students.

“I know a lot of people want to study abroad and can’t, so they would probably be interested in getting off of the campus,” she said. “The only time you can really do stuff like this is right now when you are in college.”

Patinelli-Dubay said she thinks it would be wonderful if the program became something ESF offered to its students every year.

“I don’t see why this should just be something we do once,” she said.

Hai said he hopes students who leave the program will have a much better appreciation for the spectrum of perspectives balancing interactions between the people living in the Adirondacks and the environment.

Said Hai: “I also hope it will give students the ability to look at other landscapes where human and natural communities are trying to coexist and see the Adirondacks as a global model for making these interactions work.”

The 15,000-acre Huntington Wildlife Forest is located near the geographic center of the Adirondack Park.

the sweet stuff in the middle

drew shapiro | contributing photographer THE COUTURE DOLLS rehearse a routine for their show in April. The members offset sultry burlesque with the hard moves of banjee, an attitude more than a style of dancing.

welve minutes of stretching.

One hundred reps per stretch — bicycles, splits and sit-ups.

Three hours of practicing routines, sometimes more if the group isn’t clicking. The Couture Dolls rehearse just as most other dance clubs on campus would.

Then, two-thirds into their Saturday rehearsal, the dancers race to their bags to fish out pairs of heels: black, tan, violet, suede, patent leather, pumps and booties. The 14 of

16 members crowd Archbold Gymnasium’s squash court after they are bumped from their regular rehearsal space in the boxing room.

They practice to Beyoncé’s “Countdown,” their clacking heels echoing off the walls.

This second generation of Dolls has taken their founders’ wisdom to heart: Put the unconventional together. They take hip-hop and pair it with heels. They join together burlesque and banjee, which Shanelle Drakeford calls more of an attitude than a style of dance.

“Banjee is hood, like harder moves,” said Drakeford, co-coordinator for the Couture Dolls and a sophomore writing major. “Stuff you wouldn’t see girls doing. It’s not so

soft and girly-like.”

The Couture Dolls’ tentative April 4 showcase will mark the second formal performance since their cre-

ation. In the past, the group danced at Syracuse University’s Homecoming Weekend, the annual Fashion Conscious show and the university’s drag

show. The members, all with different levels of experience, unite onstage to mix theatrics and choreography.

The dancers, most clad in black leggings and loose-fitting tops, warmed up to Jay-Z and Beyoncé, occasionally laughing at a rogue racquetball and its vocal pursuer in another court.

When it was time to dance, one of the coordinators cut through the sisterly banter and split the members into their two designated performance groups.

“I want my mean girls on the floor and the losers sitting on the wall.”

This year’s show combines two sections of high school girls who wouldn’t be caught dead near each other in the lunchroom: mean girls and losers. The show follows the same plot line of the popular movie “Mean

Girls,” but puts it in a college setting.

Uncommon partnerships aren’t restricted to the storyline. The group’s dance styles come from two different sides of the spectrum. Sultry burlesque is mashed with the more hard-hitting moves of banjee.

The dance style is very much like hip-hop, active and intense. Many times, the girls stomp their feet to sharpen a move. During solo scenes in songs, some girls twirl with flirtatious facial expressions.

“It’s all about attitude, but not in a bad way,” said dancer Shayanna Sims, a sophomore information technology major. “It’s fierceness.”

The members of the group don’t have formal dance training, but most

Street style should aim to put individuality, accessibility back into spotlight

A

s an avid follower of fashion, I spend hours poring over and analyzing every image that comes off the runway. So attending New York Fashion Week was a dream come true.

When I arrived at Lincoln Center, the site of the show, I felt like I had arrived at a red carpet event rather than a trade show for the fashion industry. A sea of photographers crowded the plaza in front of the complex, feverishly snapping shots of every eye-catching shoe, bag and hairstyle that flitted by.

This is the world of street style, a form of fashion photography that has recently reached mania-like popularity. It isn’t exactly a new art.

The New York Times fashion columnist Bill Cunningham has been shooting street-style fashion since the 1960s. But when the fashion industry began embracing blogging as a veritable media outlet in the mid-2000s, street-style photography found its niche.

In an interview with New York Magazine, street-style photographer Candice Lake of All The Pretty Birds called her work “portraiture in four frames.” Street style allows anyone to step into the fashion spotlight. The focus turns away from the robotic models parading the latest look down the runway. Instead, the individuality of everyday people shines through an accessible platform.

Today, most fashion news blogs and magazine websites have a street-style column. Scott Schuman, author of street-style blog “The Sartorialist,” is one of the biggest names in the fashion industry thanks to his stunning portraits of

JUILE KOSIN

not my natural hair color ordinary people with extraordinary style.

In the past few years, this phenomenon has taken on a life of its own, as indicated by the circus that fashion week has become lately. In theory, fashion week is a great place to shoot street style.

Who wouldn’t want to see trendsetters like editors and buyers in their natural environment?

But the popularity of these websites makes these fashion insiders stars now, and street style has veered from highlighting the beauty in the mundane — average people with great style — to celebrating the luxuries of the privileged. After all, most of these bloggers have access to gowns, bags and shoes that cost thousands of dollars.

For example, Vogue Japan Editor-atLarge Anna Dello Russo is a street-style star famous for wearing avant-garde looks right from the runway. She can afford to be stylish, and yes, the images documenting her style are fun to look at. But for people without a budget conducive to a lavish lifestyle, checking out the blog is the same as opening up a fashion magazine and looking at a highconcept fashion shoot: fantasy.

Q&A with student jewelry designer

By Claire Dunderman CONTRIBUTING WRITER

For jewelry lover Brittney Rutigliano, trinkets shouldn’t break the bank. Embracing her childhood hobby of creating bracelets, she released her own affordable jewelry line. The Alyse Collection debuted at J. Michael Shoes in February. The sophomore education major showed off the line Thursday and Friday at Delta Delta Delta sorority’s trunk show.

The event benefited St. Jude’s Hospital, the sorority’s philanthropy, and 25 percent of the profits went to the organization. Rutigliano spoke about starting her business and how she crafts her pieces.

The Daily Orange: How did you get J. Michael to sell your jewelry?

Rutigliano: I just started networking around, and I contacted them. My roommate’s friend works there. I just wanted to see how it would go.

So how has the jewelry line been doing?

So far it’s been great. There’s been a lot of money within even the past two weeks. For example, I once sold $580 in three hours.

Where do you see your business in the future?

My goal is to sell to multiple stores. I really would also love to have the money that I get to go abroad.

I love traveling and I want to travel all over the world. My dream would be to find a little Italian shop and sell some of my jewelry to them.

What do you use to make your jewelry?

There are so many different stones I use. I use stones such as onyx and rubies. Each charm that I use goes with a different color. The elephant, which has always been my favorite, goes with the honey jade. They’re all so cute. I never try to repeat unless someone asks me.

How long does it take you to do a bracelet?

If I rush, it takes me 10 minutes. If I don’t, it

takes about 20 minutes. The ones where I use the rubies, though, take me a good hour. I have to strand each stone. Whenever I go to the wholesale stores and see each stone, I just look at all of them and think about how they’re all so beautiful and vibrant.

If you had any advice for aspiring jewelry makers or students who want to start their own businesses, what would it be?

My best advice is that networking is the best thing. Jenn Gubernick, who is one of my friends from the house, helped with my logo and made my site more professional. Teaming up with people and using resources gives me more experience, and I am so happy and grateful for everyone who helped me. cmdunder@syr.edu

Even worse, street-style images are becoming less and less authentic. They’re made to look spur-of-the-moment, but attendees of fashion week know there’s a sea of cameras waiting for them to step out of their cars. Fashion week is now as much about getting noticed as it is about seeing the shows.

There’s nothing wrong with dressing to get noticed, but when you stop dressing for yourself and start dressing solely for attention, it makes you no better than the models who are made up beyond recognition and marched down the catwalk. You become a

manufactured illusion.

It’s time for street style to revert back to the real world. There’s enough artificiality in fashion magazines and on runways already — I want to see regular people expressing their individual tastes, not some editor dressing up for the camera. It’s time to take the art of street style and give it back to the stylish people on the street who actually deserve it.

COUTURE FROM PAGE 9

cheered in high school and some danced in another college club. No dance experience is needed, but one must audition to get in. Most of this year’s group is fairly new. Drakeford was one of five remaining members after many graduated in May. One of the new girls was Sims, who cheered in high school. She danced in Kalabash, a Caribbean dance group on campus, but was captivated when she saw the Couture Dolls perform at last year’s Homecoming showcase. Despite her cheer and dance background, she claims she’s “the most awkward person ever.”

But she doesn’t feel self-conscious at practices. The supportive members help each other out.

The girls joke around quietly when people are dancing. A joke between friends is actually

“We made a commitment to separate ourselves from other dance groups and act things out. You can’t just walk out and speak out lines like in a play. It’s more physical than that. We really make a show of it.”

GRADUATE TELEVISION, RADIO AND FILM MAJOR

what started the group in the first place.

In the spring of 2008, Tiffany Bender, a graduate television, radio and film major, and four friends were practicing for a Fashion Conscious show. The president of Fashion Conscious caught them doing vogue: a pose-driven, stylized form of dance. Instead of reprimanding them for messing around during practice, the president encouraged it.

“The four of us girls and the one young man came up with choreography,” Bender said. “We

had on these polka-dot, Minnie Mouse dresses and danced onstage.”

The lone Ken doll amid the Barbies, SU alumnus Jerijah West, unexpectedly popped out of a box from the back of the stage and vogued down the entire runway. The crowd loved it, she said.

“We got so many compliments we were invited to perform the routine at other events,” Bender said. “So then we decided, why not write a constitution and make this a real group?”

Bender has taken a backseat “momma”

role. But she isn’t afraid to lay down the law.

This past fall, she attended a rehearsal to watch the group practice for the Homecoming showcase performance. Frustrated because they didn’t hit the moves sharply enough, Bender yelled at the girls and walked out of the rehearsal.

She didn’t see the girls dance again until the showcase. She was nervous, anticipating the group might not do as well as she wanted. The music finished, the dancers left the stage and Bender cried with joy, proud of her little Dolls.

“We made a commitment to separate our-

selves from other dance groups and act things out,” she said. “You can’t just walk out and speak out lines like in a play. It’s more physical than that. We really make a show of it.” smtracey@syr.edu

NBC drama dreams up creative pilot but could struggle to achieve longevity

By Jeff Wucher STAFF WRITER

o many elements of “Awake” are perfect. In some ways, it’s almost a shame.

From its characters to its premise, the show’s first episode is easily one of the most ambitious pilots of the spring season. But for a show that’s already on top of its game, it’s hard to imagine how it will maintain its momentum.

The premise is fantastic, and if it doesn’t make you want to see this show, then why do you watch TV at all? Detective Michael Britton is in a car accident with his wife and son. He survives and finds himself split between two worlds. In one, he and his wife attempt to move on after their son’s death. In the other, the son remains alive, and his wife is the unlucky victim of the crash. Every night, he goes to bed and closes his eyes, only to wake up in the next world. His

therapists in each “reality” try to convince him that the other is a dream, to which Britton replies, “That’s what the other shrink said.”

The concept of “Awake” is so devilishly complex that the split world premise could have survived on its own. Even in the pilot, every character is acted so well that the show could let life play out with the weight of this psychological affliction at its center. The sorrow of Britton and his wife resonates strongly in the wake of such an enormous tragedy.

Much of the pleasure derived from watching this episode comes through the blurring of reality. It’s heavily implied that one is a self-invented coping mechanism that will fade away, but there’s also a suggestion that the two can exist together. The show uses color, specifically reds and greens, to distinguish the two realities. To keep his worlds straight, Britton

AWAKE

Network: NBC When: Thursdays at 10 p.m.

Rating:

wears different colored wristbands: red for his wife and green for his son. In almost every scene, regardless of reality, there are color hints. His one therapist uses a red pen in a green colored room. His other therapist wears a red scarf while donning a green tie.

There’s so much to analyze and dissect in the symbolism of the colors. And while the colorcoded instances are numerous, they’re never overt or poorly done. The tones are muted, other than the blatantly colored wristbands, and nothing screams “look.”

Always stemming from the primary concept, Britton’s crime cases from parallel realities begin to bleed into each other. He sees “611” in a parking lot and immediately connects it to “611” as the address of a building in the other case. Admittedly, this is a neat twist, but compared to the central hub of the show, it’s a massive letdown.

And that’s what scares me about “Awake.”

This whole pilot, this magnificently detailed piece of television, is only setting us up for “CSI: Dual Reality Coincidence Edition.”

The characters feel real. The premise is as close to original as originality comes in the postmodern age.

But this is network TV, and network TV tends to play it safe. So while I cannot predict future episodes, I can almost guarantee that “Awake” will become more of a cop show than a character study. Worse, it’s almost doomed to go off the air — it’s in a time slot that has already seen two cancellations this year alone.

Maybe when I go to sleep tonight, I’ll wake up in a reality where “Awake” is still a great show that has survived for six seasons and a movie.

But for now, that’s probably just a dream. jswucher@syr.edu

MEN’S L ACROSSE VIRGINIA FROM PAGE 20

by the run-and-gun style of play, with possessions quickly shifting back and forth and each side constantly looking for transition goals. While the Orange’s offense went on a scoring run in the second quarter, it failed to match that same type of explosiveness in the second half.

But until the end, Syracuse was always within striking distance.

“I think we competed the whole way,” SU head coach John Desko said. “I don’t think any of our players came out like we were going to be underdogs. I think, especially at halftime, we had a lot of confidence playing the way we did.”

SU’s possessions were severely limited in the second half because of its futility at the faceoff X, as the Orange went 1-of-9 in the third quarter and only 8-of-28 in the game. UVa scored four straight goals out of halftime to take an 8-6 lead.

“In the second half, with the lack of possession time, I thought when we did get the ball, we were a little hurried to make something happen,” Desko said.

Maltz ended Virginia’s run when attack Tommy Palasek found him cutting across the front of the net. Maltz caught the pass and sent it down into the net from the lip of the crease.

But the Cavaliers answered with two more goals to take back the momentum once again.

“In the third period, they did an unbelievable job coming out of halftime and really controlling the ball, pretty much the entire third quarter,” Maltz said. “They did a great job coming out of halftime and really controlling the tempo, and I think that’s what led them to victory this afternoon.”

The Cavaliers took an early 2-0 lead less than three minutes into the game, but Syracuse battled back and commanded the first half.

Senior midfielder Bobby Eilers put the Orange on the board with 6:19 left in the first quarter, when he sent a hard shot past UVa goaltender Rob Fortunato from about 15 yards out.

Virginia responded with a goal 39 seconds into the second quarter, but then SU went on a tear.

Eilers disrupted a Virginia clear attempt and sent a pass to JoJo Marasco, who found Tim Desko to the left of the crease. Desko caught Marasco’s feed and dazzled the crowd with a behindthe-legs shot to get the Orange within one.

He followed up his goal with another one just more than a minute later to tie the game.

Forty-seven seconds later, it was midfielder Hakeem Lecky’s turn. The redshirt freshman ran in down the left side of the offensive zone and shot from about 10 yards out for the score.

Fellow midfielders Henry Schoonmaker and Matt Pratt then scored, completing SU’s 5-0 run.

“Our midfield was playing really well in the beginning, we were dodging and playing assertive,” Eilers said. “And we just didn’t come out that way in the second half.”

The Orange was still within two with more than seven minutes left, but its offense went silent. In the final three minutes, UVa scored two goals to give it a powerful four-goal cushion.

In a game in which momentum constantly shifted, Syracuse struggled to maintain its offensive rhythm. And the potent Virginia offense was too much for the Orange to keep up with.

“That’s what happens,” Eilers said. “Sometimes momentum comes toward us, sometimes it leaves us, and unfortunately, they got more of the momentum swings their way today.” cjiseman@syr.edu

mitchell franz | photo editor BRANDON TRICHE beats Jared Swopshire to the rim. Scoring a team-high 18 points, Triche opened the game up by scoring the first eight points of the second half.

Triche breaks out of slump to spearhead offense in victory

By Mark Cooper SPORTS EDITOR

For two minutes, Brandon Triche controlled the game.

His eight straight points on 3-of-3 shooting extended a seven-point halftime lead to 15 right away. It also set Syracuse off on a better second half offensively.

“I’ve been having the same confidence the last few games, pretty much taking the same shots,” Triche said. “Today, they were falling.”

Those eight points in the first 1:33 of the second half were as many as Triche had scored in any of Syracuse’s last seven games. The junior guard reached double-digits in points for the first time since Jan. 28 against West Virginia, and he was the catalyst for SU’s offense in a 58-49 win over Louisville (22-9, 12-8 Big East) on Saturday. Triche led the Orange (30-1, 17-1 Big East) with 18 points on 5-of-10 shooting after scoring 14 points in SU’s last three games combined.

And he propelled an offense that was stagnant in the first half.

“It was awesome,” Scoop Jardine said. “A guy like Triche, who’s not really been in a slump but really hasn’t found his rhythm (in) a couple games, but for him to find it today and going into tournament play we’re going to really need him.”

Triche made 2-of-16 3s in the last seven games, but he said his confidence didn’t waver. He continued to work on his shot in practice. He talked with his dad about getting better and taking advantage when his defender gives him a cushion.

On Syracuse’s first possession of the game Saturday, Triche received a pass on the left wing from C.J. Fair. He drilled a 3-pointer over Louisville guard Chris Smith to tie the game at three.

“If I’m open I’m shooting it regardless,” Triche said. “But a lot of the time I’m getting guarded a little closer than before. So if I’m not in open spots, then I don’t try and force them.”

Triche chose his spots but was aggressive against the Cardinals. In a game in which Jardine went scoreless in 18 minutes of action, the Orange needed Triche to get going.

Syracuse trailed early, 15-9, but a 17-1 run helped SU pull ahead. With the Orange leading

22-16 after a Louisville miss, Dion Waiters saw Triche sprinting ahead of the pack in transition.

Jared Swopshire’s extended his right arm to defend, but Waiters’ pass flew over it to Triche.

He finished with a reverse layup, leaving Waiters jumping up and down in excitement.

“I think sometimes he’ll miss some shots or things haven’t gone exactly right some games, but he’s a guy who can get 20 any night,” head coach Jim Boeheim said. “I believe that.”

The Orange led 26-19 at halftime and shot 32 percent in the first 20 minutes. But Syracuse came out of the break quickly. Mainly because of Triche.

Triche drilled an open 3 eight seconds into the second half. After Wayne Blackshear missed a layup on Louisville’s ensuing possession, Jardine pushed the ball in transition.

He came down the left side of the court with Triche ahead of him on the right. It had alleyoop written all over it.

Triche leapt to the rim from too far away as he tried to receive the lob. He was stuffed by the rim on the dunk attempt. But he managed to come down with the ball. He went back up strong for a layup to put the Orange up 12.

On Syracuse’s next possession, Jardine fed him the ball in the left corner for his second 3 of the first two minutes, putting the Orange ahead 34-19. The Orange made 10-of-15 field goals to start the second half.

“I think today my 3-pointer, I was focusing in,” Triche said. “I wasn’t moving as much in the air, keep my form, and I was able to knock down shots.”

Triche also closed the game out, snapping Louisville’s momentum after a 9-0 run brought the Cardinals within 50-40. He drew a foul on Peyton Siva and made two free throws in a one-and-one situation. Then he came up with a steal, which he took coast-to-coast before getting fouled at the rim by Siva.

Those two free throws put SU ahead 54-40 with 2:13 left and effectively sealed the game.

“He has been aggressive,” Boeheim said. “He hasn’t made a couple. He made one early and then the second half he was ready to go.” mcooperj@syr.edu

With role players contributing, Syracuse heads into postseason with confidence

S

yracuse’s shooters are finally on point.

After a handful of close games in which the Orange had opportunities to pull away from its opponents but failed to, the team had the cutthroat 3-point shot to knock down Louisville.

Brandon Triche had his best shooting game in more than a month. James Southerland — shooting just 20.4 percent from 3-point range in Big East play — provided an offensive spark in 20 minutes on the floor. And Dion Waiters chose his spots wisely when he took jumpers, hitting 2-of-3 from deep.

In an essentially meaningless game five days before the Big East tournament begins, Syracuse could not have had a better result. The Orange got production from all of its playmakers who were in a bit of a rut down the stretch.

Syracuse’s 8-of-21 shooting mark from 3 isn’t spectacular, but the 6-of-11 performance from Triche, Southerland and Waiters in the 58-49 win over the Cardinals was impressive.

The performance is reassuring going into the postseason.

“There’s going to be games in the (NCAA) Tournament where they’re going to be keying in on a lot of us,” Scoop Jardine said. “And they’re going to be the guys to make shots and open up the game, and today that’s what they did.”

Waiters has played well as of late, but this was still the first time since Feb. 4 at St. John’s that he made more than one 3-pointer.

Still, he oozed confidence in his shot Saturday. With SU leading 54-42 and distancing itself from Louisville, he stood at the top of the arc commanding the offense. Fab Melo started to come out of the paint to set a pick, but Waiters waved him off.

The paint was clear as Waiters was isolated with Chris Smith. But instead of driving, he pulled up and drilled a 3 over the U of L guard, backpedaling to play defense with a smile.

“It just gives you that boost of confidence going into the next game,” Waiters said.

Heading into the Big East tournament, and eventually the NCAA Tournament, having at least one hot shooter will be key for the Orange. Syracuse has its flaws (see: rebounding), but a superb shooting performance can win a game.

Take Saturday’s performance. Syracuse got hammered on the offensive boards, allowing 18 offensive rebounds and 14 second-chance

and the funky bunch points. The Orange also uncharacteristically turned the ball over 15 times and got zero points, three assists and three turnovers out of Jardine.

If Jardine played well and Syracuse had done a better job taking care of the ball, the Orange could have beaten Louisville by 20. But it didn’t matter in a game in which SU’s shooters were on target.

“This was one of our few easy games in the last eight,” head coach Jim Boeheim said. “If you look closely at the last eight games we’ve played or whatever it is, the last several, I think we had a couple games in there that were easy.

The other six could have gone either way.”

In a one-point win against Louisville on Feb. 13, the Orange was an abysmal 1-of-15 from 3.

Syracuse blew a double-digit lead against Connecticut on Feb. 25 by shooting just 1-of-7 from 3 in the second half.

Those games were made more difficult by Syracuse’s shooting. Saturday was different.

After the game, Jardine smiled when he spoke about what he saw from Triche and Southerland. Two players who have not been settled in their roles recently burst out. Southerland also contributed three blocks in addition to his seven points.

All year, the talk about Syracuse has circled around depth. Deepest team in the country. The bench eclipsed 1,000 total points in the Louisville game. Waiters and C.J. Fair could start for any other team in the country. The praise goes on and on.

But where that depth is utilized most is in games like Saturday’s. Jardine went scoreless and Joseph finished below his season average in points. Triche and Southerland were there to pick up the slack.

“They’re very good players,” Boeheim said.

“They’re very good offensive players. And we’re going to need them.”

SYRACUSE VS 19LOUISVILLE 2

21 BIG NUMBER

The number of 3-pointers Louisville missed on Saturday. Syracuse’s stifling 2-3 zone held the Cardinals to 2-of-23 from beyond the arc, part of a dismal offensive performance in which the team scored just 49 points.

“

49

FAT LADY SINGS 2:13 Second half

Triche corralled a steal and weaved his way down the court through multiple Louisville defenders. He was fouled at the basket by Siva and hit both free throws to give Syracuse a commanding 54-40 lead.

HERO Brandon Triche Triche played with confidence and finished with a team-high 18 points to lead Syracuse to victory. His eight straight points out of halftime broke open the game for the Orange.

ZERO

Peyton Siva

The Louisville point guard logged 38 minutes, but only managed two shots all game.

The Cardinals struggled to get going on offense and it started with Siva, who finished with six turnovers and four points.

STORYTELLER “We really keyed in on their players. We talked a lot that we weren’t going to let Kyle Kuric beat us or let Peyton Siva drive. We were going to have to let somebody else beat us.”

LOUISVILLE FROM PAGE 20

Louisville shot just 33.9 percent from the field and went a putrid 2-of-23 from deep. And offensively, Syracuse caught fire just before halftime and continued to shoot well the rest of the game to seal the victory.

With the win, SU finished the year undefeated in the Carrier Dome for just the second time in school history and tied the Big East record for most conference wins with 17.

“This group has had an unbelievable year,” SU head coach Jim Boeheim said. “To win 17 in this league is a tremendous accomplishment for these players.”

Louisville’s offense started the game hot, building a 15-9 lead as the Orange stumbled through the opening minutes. But after a goaltending call on Fab Melo with 11:46 left in the first half, Syracuse’s defense buckled down.

The Cardinals scored just four points and made only one more field goal before halftime.

And then, SU’s offense finally showed up.

The Orange closed the half on a 17-4 run that included a smaller 12-0 stretch as guards Dion Waiters and Brandon Triche sparked the Syracuse offense. Waiters scored six of those 12 unanswered points and added an assist. Triche set up James Southerland for a 3 and a pair of free throws, and he also dropped in a layup.

But Boeheim said the key to that run was defense.

“Our defense got better,” he said. “We got some steals. We started to score a little bit. We made a couple shots. I think that kind of got us going.”

Syracuse used the big run to take a 26-19

“” Scoop Jardine

SU GUARD

lead into halftime. Then Triche came out of the break on fire, scoring eight straight points after halftime to extend SU’s lead to 34-19.

“It opened up their defense more,” Triche said. “They had to play me on the wing. We spread them out a little bit more.”

While Triche set the tone for the second half offensively, Southerland did the same on the defensive end. When Louisville center Gorgui Dieng caught a pass in the paint heading toward the rim, the Orange forward met Dieng in midair and rejected his dunk attempt.

Louisville only converted three field goals in the opening five minutes of the second half against the dominant SU defense.

“It’s about making guys uncomfortable,” Jardine said. “They’re going to get good looks because they’re a good basketball team. They run some great sets. But when you make guys uncomfortable and run them off their spots, that’s what our defense does.”

SU built its lead up to as many as 19 thanks to that stifling defense and an 11-of-20 shooting performance in the second half. And when the Cardinals eventually went on a run and cut the margin down to 10, the Orange defense once again rose to the challenge.

Louisville made just two field goals in the next three minutes while Syracuse extended the lead back to 14 points. And with just a minute left to play at that point, the game was well in hand.

“Our defense was good,” Boeheim said.

“We didn’t really let them get many open shots, and then when they got some open shots, they just didn’t make them. Sometimes that happens.” zjbrown@syr.edu

Missouri fills out SU’s nonconference slate

By Mark Cooper SPORTS EDITOR

Syracuse’s 2012 schedule takes Doug Marrone back to when he was a player. Those SU teams went through the gantlet under Dick MacPherson.

Syracuse would play Nebraska one week, travel to Gainesville, Fla., the next.

With the addition of Missouri to Syracuse’s nonconference schedule, the Orange has an arduous path through its upcoming season. But it’s one the SU head coach is excited about.

“I think that our out-of-conference schedule is challenging,” Marrone said. “It’s exciting. I think those types of schedules make you a better football team. You have to get better quickly, you have to grow up fast.”

Marrone held a press conference Friday to discuss the completion of the Orange’s nonconference slate. Syracuse plays home games against Northwestern and Stony Brook, away games against Minnesota and Missouri, and a game against Southern California at MetLife Stadium. Syracuse currently has 11 games on its schedule, with one Big East game still to be announced, as the Orange looks to improve heading into Marrone’s fourth season as head coach.

The newest addition to the schedule is Missouri, a team that will be joining the Southeastern Conference this season. The Orange and Tigers play Nov. 17, right in the thick of conference play.

Syracuse and Missouri’s game is a one-year arrangement, according to an article published by the St. Louis Post-Dispatch on Saturday.

There is no return game, and Missouri will pay out $800,000, according to the story.

The game in Columbia, Mo., was one of the few courses of action Syracuse had as it tried to fill its schedule after West Virginia and Texas Christian left the Big East.

“We had a couple of options, and we did everything we could to try and get the best situation for our program,” Marrone said, “and playing two (Football Championship Subdivision) schools was out of the question.”

Syracuse will play only five games in the Carrier Dome this season, with six away games and one at the neutral site against USC. Marrone said he did not know if there would be a return game where Missouri would come to Syracuse because of the teams SU has already scheduled for the future. The Orange will play a nine-game conference schedule when it joins the Atlantic Coast Conference.

“(When) we initially went out and spoke to other programs and other teams, it was to get the home game here,” Marrone said. “And then when those situations became exhausted, when we couldn’t get that done, then we took the best option that we had available, which was going out and playing Missouri in November.”

The Tigers are just part of what will be a daunting slate for a Syracuse team coming off a disappointing 5-7 season in 2011. USC returns star quarterback Matt Barkley and is expected to be ranked in the Top 10 when next season begins.

The Orange and Trojans play Sept. 15 in a game dubbed “New York’s College Classic.”

Syracuse’s season opener Sept. 1 is against Northwestern. Both the Wildcats and Minnesota are Big 10 schools that gave Syracuse close games in 2009.

Syracuse begins spring practice March 20, the start of a long road to improvement before the first game. But Marrone said he is in favor of the grueling nonconference schedule Syracuse put together.

“I like the schedule, and it forces this program to get better,” Marrone said. “And to see what the weaknesses are and what the problems are throughout the season.”

STAFF WRITER

Marcus Sales is back as a full member of the Syracuse football team, head coach Doug Marrone announced in a press conference Friday.

The senior wide receiver was arrested in July on felony drug charges, but those charges have been dropped.

“He is on the football team,” Marrone said.

“He is enrolled at the school and has no issues there, so there is no problem with him being a part of this football team.”

Since his arrest, Sales had been suspended from the team indefinitely. The charges were dropped Oct. 26 after an Onondaga County grand jury did not find enough evidence to charge Sales with drug possession.

Marrone could not comment on the situation until the university’s student judicial process was complete.

The charges Sales faced included fifth- and seventh-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance, second-degree criminally using drug paraphernalia, unlawful possession of marijuana and violating the city’s open container law.

Sales’ brother, Michael, was sentenced to five year’s probation in connection with the same drug case. Michael Sales was in the car with Marcus when the two were pulled over by Syracuse police in July.

man quarterback Terrel Hunt will not participate in spring practice as a result of his suspension from the team.

Hunt, a backup who didn’t see time on the field in 2011, was arrested Jan. 25 after police said he stole from a Hollister store in Carousel Center. Police said Hunt stole a $44 bottle of “Breakline Fragrance.”

“Right now in the program we have 79 total players in the program,” Marrone said. “If we went out there today, we would have about 70 players who can practice. We have eight players who are injured and one player who is not going to participate this spring due to suspension, Terrel Hunt.” mjcohe02@syr.edu

SAFE HOUSE

SU completes perfect season at home with win

By Zach Brown

S

STAFF WRITER

yracuse’s defensive game plan entering its contest with No. 19 Louisville focused specifically on two players.

The Orange knew it needed to stop Peyton Siva from penetrating the 2-3 zone and keep Kyle Kuric from catching fire to knock off the Cardinals.

If SU lost Saturday, it wouldn’t be because one of those two carried Louisville to the win.

“We really keyed in on their players,” SU guard Scoop Jardine said.

“We talked a lot that we weren’t going to let Kyle Kuric beat us or let Peyton Siva drive. We were going to have to let somebody else beat us.”

No. 2 SU (30-1, 17-1 Big East) executed that game plan to near perfection in a 58-49 win over No. 19 Louisville (22-9, 10-8 Big East) in front of 33,205 fans at the Carrier Dome on Saturday.

The second-largest crowd in the country this year watched the Orange defense suffocate the Cardinals’ attack. Kuric only scored eight points and went 1-of-7 from beyond the arc while Siva finished with four points and six turnovers.
