NCAA drug policy explained

By David Propper STAFF WRITER

From what Donte Davis remembers about being drug tested by Syracuse University’s athletic department, there was little room to get around the rules.

“It’d be real early in the morning.

They don’t want you to be able to do nothing like get rid of any drugs or anything like that, so they’ll test you real early,” said Davis, a former football player. “They make you pull your pants down. They watch you pee into a cup. It’s like no cheating the system.”

But according to a Yahoo! Sports article released yesterday, four sources with knowledge of SU basketball teams alleged at least 10 players in the last decade cheated the system and avoided punishment outlined by the athletics’ drug policy.

Fiction novelist Jonathan Franzen instantly captured the attention of the audience with his quick-witted and literary-based jokes while speaking to a crowded Hendricks Chapel on Tuesday night.

He began his lecture with an unorthodox discussion about the four most annoying questions he is asked as a writer, and he finished by discussing the struggles he faced while writing his third and most famous book, “The Corrections.”

One of the most unpleasant questions writers are asked, Franzen said, is who influenced their work.

In quick summation, Franzen halfjokingly recited authors and musicians who have made a significant contribution to his writing style, such as C.S. Lewis and the Moody Blues. But he concluded that he is now only influenced by his own work because that is what consumes him.

“When I write I don’t feel like a craftsman influenced by earlier craftsmen who were influenced by earlier craftsmen,” Franzen said.

The question that people believe is the safest and most polite to ask writers, Franzen said, is asking what they actually write about. The question is most frequently asked when there is nothing else to say,

“His writings make you examine yourself and how you are conducting yourself and the way you are pursuing things to try to find fulfillment.”

Jacob Kriss

GRADUATE STUDENT STUDYING PUBLIC RELATIONS

he said.

The third perennial question

that Franzen said is asked is whether an author’s characters take over the story and tell the author how to write it.

“The novelist’s primary responsibility is to create meaning,” he said. “And if he could leave this job to characters you would necessarily be avoiding (this responsibility) yourself.”

Franzen went on to say that writers are limited by this duty.

They need to make things believable, entertaining and original while creating meaning at the same time.

The fourth and final annoying question Franzen said people ask is

Panelists speak on plagiarism

CAMPUS BRIEFS Cyberbullying developments The Judicial System Handbook is being revised for the academic year 2012-13 to include the phrasing “cyber stalking,” “cyber bullying” and “cyber harassment,” according to the Office of Judicial Affairs’ website. By revising the Code of Student Conduct to include this specific language, the judicial process regarding cyberbullying situations will be “more useful to students and parents,” according to the website.

Judicial Affairs responds to harassment, including cyberbullying, through the Code of Conduct.

Although it currently does not include the term “cyber bullying,” the codes do address it in several ways, including defining harassment as “physical or verbal, oral or written, which is beyond the bounds of protected free speech, directed at a specific individual(s), easily construed as ‘fighting words,’ and likely to cause an immediate breach of the peace,” according to the website.

mitchell franz | photo editor STEVE RHINEHART, a graduate student in the School of Information Studies, meets with students over coffee he provides to inspire unique conversations as a part of his “Counter Talk” blog.

Student blogger, barista brews up conversation

By Shannon Hazlitt STAFF WRITER

Social media expertise combined with a passion for specialty coffee is the formula for Steve Rhinehart’s “Counter Talk” blog.

The graduate student in the School of Information Studies carries coffee beans, containers of milk, latte cups and brewing equipment in a suitcase to provide students with free coffee. However, there is one catch.

“You have to provide something that you are passionate about,” said Rhinehart, who is studying information management at the iSchool, “so we can have a unique, genuine conversation that I can publish later on my website.”

Rhinehart, a former barista, originally thought about presenting his idea to use social media to talk only about specialty coffee,

Students and teachers can inf luence situations involving plagiarism positively and negatively, said panelists from different fields at Syracuse University in a discussion sponsored by E.S. Bird Library on Tuesday.

“The best way to infect a student with academic integrity is to put them near a teacher who is selflessly devoted to the truth,” said Gary Pavela, director of the university’s Academic Integrity Office and one of the panelists.

Pavela also stressed the idea that the primary objective of academic integrity is the learning experience.

“We are focusing on education, not punishment,” Pavela said.

During the Q-and-A portion of the panel, Pavela touched on academic negligence, a new approach to plagiarism that is being adopted at SU. Academic negligence will be more sympathetic in its approach toward students who are involved in cases of plagiarism but who did not have the intent to deceive.

“We’re not going to compromise on the importance of the rule, but I don’t think students who make an honest mistake should be stigmatized or have a permanent record that isn’t deserved,” she said.

Rebecca Howard, another panelist and writing and rhetoric professor, discussed the Citation Project, a research venture designed to investigate how much plagiarism permeates students’ writing. Howard, along with 25 colleagues, studied 174 academic papers from students across the country, scouring them for

iSchool professor’s book wins library literature award

By Sarah Taddeo CONTRIBUTING WRITER

A book by School of Information Studies professor R. David Lankes won the American Library Association’s “Best Book in Library Literature” award for 2012, and it is sparking conversation throughout the librarian community.

Lankes said he felt honored and proud to receive the ALA’s recognition for his book, “The Atlas of New Librarianship.”

“This book represents close to four years of work and working

with some great people,” he said.

“To get recognized by the target group, the profession itself, is very, very gratifying.”

The ALA praised the novel for its innovativeness and facilitation of librarianship community, according to a March 1 SU News release.

The MIT Press and the Association of College and Research Libraries, a division of the ALA that represents more than 12,000 college and research librarians, co-published the book, according to a Feb. 28 ALA press release.

Lankes, director of the Information Institute of Syracuse and SU’s library science program, has been teaching at the university since 1998. He said during his time at Syracuse University, he has worked to move the future of libraries and librarians forward because “they are an increasingly important part of the world around us.” His book reflects this vision, Lankes said.

The book confronts the issue of the changing world of libraries and transfer of information from one

place to the next.

“A lot of people ask the question, ‘Do we still need libraries and librarians?’” Lankes said. “This book is about why we very much need librarians and how we need librarians who are not focused on books and buildings, but on community and knowledge and information.”

Lankes’ goal in writing the book struck a chord within the library science community. Kathryn Deiss, content strategist at ACRL,

All-nighters during midterm week spark nostalgia for senior columnist

S

tudies show sleep deprivation can cause a multitude of health conditions: weakened immune system, irritability, headaches, hand tremors and so on. I don’t doubt that, and with this being midterms week, I’m sure thousands of college students have been feeling a little sleep deprive as well.

But an unsteady hand is a small price to pay for the wondrous experience of an all-nighter.

In the midst of page counts, exams and piles of notes, there’s something truly special that comes from the procrastination in those long nights before your 9:30 a.m. exam: camaraderie.

Friendships blossom over the concoction of stress and caffeine — it’s like an academic bottle of alcohol. Stories are exchanged, crackedout hallucinations are shared and a memory is made. All-nighters are right up there with Thursday nights at Chuck’s Cafe and rounds of beer ball at my favorite Livingston Street house all holding a special place alongside my most cherished SU memories.

I’ll never forget one all-nighter in particular.

It was spring semester 2011, the Sunday on the eve of what would become the most awful finals week I hope to ever experience. Knock on wood — one more to go. It was about 9 p.m. when I received a text from my ginger-haired friend that said four simple words: “We caught bin Laden.” I relayed the not-yet-confirmed news to my tablemates — a mixture of acquaintances and mutual buddies — or final friends, as I prefer to call them.

We all immediately logged on to Twitter — social media is, of course, the definitive breaking news source — and watched as the hashtags began to trend and the Tweets piled on top of one another. At first, the Tweets consisted of desires for validation, questions of veracity and that guy in Pakistan, who unknowingly livetweeted the initial onset.

It was happening at other tables, too. Phones buzzed and textbooks were shoved aside. You could sense the feeling something was happening, something exciting and conclusive. A moment was happening.

L AUREN TOUSIGNANT

sorry, i’m not sorry Then at 11:35 p.m. President Barack Obama addressed the nation on the death of Osama bin Laden. Chills ran up my back. Here it was: The moment you learn of a historical event and it’s the one where “You’ll always remember exactly where you were, what you were doing and who you were with when it happened.”

When 9/11 happened, I was sitting in my sixthgrade classroom. Our teachers wouldn’t tell us anything, but recess was canceled and a boy in my class told us all Japan was attacking us again.

But this was an elated moment. I’ll always remember that I was on the first floor of Bird Library, on the eve of the most awful finals week I hope to ever experience with a table full of final friends. I don’t think I’ve seen some of them since.

And the moment wasn’t over. Shortly after the president finished delivering his address — which had been streaming live on every visible laptop — a slow clap ensued, and the rest of Bird joined in.

Oh, the magic of it all. Magic I would have never experienced had it not been for my all-nighter.

So don’t shy away from late-night study sessions or all-nighters — the stress definitely never ends, but college will. Take the opportunity to share it with some new friends and maybe you’ll get to experience a momentous occasion as well.

Call it a wave of senior nostalgia. I haven’t slept in two days, so take it as you may. If you’ll be suiting up for all-nighter tonight, enjoy. If not, I’ll see you at Flip night.

Team deserves support during drug scandal EDITORIAL by the daily orange editorial board At least 10 Syracuse University men’s basketball players tested positive for drugs since 2001, according to a Yahoo!

Sports report published Monday.

Anonymous sources told the reporters the players who tested positive continued to practice and play when they should have been suspended.

If the report is true, this should be worrisome for the former players and some of the administrators involved with the players in question. But the news of the investigation should not affect the image of the current basketball team.

University officials confirmed there is an ongoing inquiry by the NCAA, but current players are not involved.

Both the NCAA and SU officials said the university self-reported possible violations to the NCAA more than a year ago.

As the current Syracuse players head into the Big East and NCAA tournaments, community members’ perceptions of the team should not be changed based on the report.

In light of the current situation, Syracuse fans are reminded of the Bernie Fine scandal that broke in mid-November and cast a negative spotlight on the team. After the Fine scandal, fans of opposing teams created signs in an attempt to taunt Syracuse. This will inevitably happen again. But the team, which finished the season 30-1, can do nothing more than carry on with its play.

As the news of the ongoing investigation unfolds and the postseason tournaments continue, the community should draw their own conclusions about the team and realize the current players should not be held accountable for actions they did not commit.

Limbaugh’s ‘slut’ comment actually creates victory for women

M

edia, politicians and the public are all buzzing about Rush Limbaugh’s most recent controversial remarks.

Last week, the radio shock jock called a Georgetown University law student a “slut” and “prostitute,” among other unmentionable descriptions, because of her views on contraception.

Sandra Fluke, a student activist and law student, spoke at a Democratic Party event about her belief that Georgetown’s student health insurance plans should include birth control coverage despite the school’s affiliation with Catholicism.

This sparked Limbaugh to initiate a series of slut shaming remarks and personal attacks against Fluke.

After posting a statement online Saturday, Limbaugh apologized onair and said, “I, again, sincerely apologize to Ms. Fluke for using those two words to describe her. I do not think she is either of those two words.”

There is a whole world of wrong surrounding his comments but this signaled a key victory for women.

not a barbie girl On Friday, President Barack Obama called Fluke to offer his support. He thanked her for speaking out on behalf of American women and said her parents should be proud of her. This not only reaffirms the president’s commitment to the issue of birth control coverage and women’s health, but it also emphasizes Obama’s rejection of misogynistic attitudes and willingness to specifically address these instances.

Obama’s support of Fluke polarizes Republican candidates who have failed to take on Limbaugh’s comments in a more honest, serious fashion. David Axelrod, senior Obama campaign strategist, called Mitt Romney “cowardly” after the Republican candidate

Ryne Gery Chris Iseman Stacie Fanelli Lauren Murphy Kristen Parker AJ Allen Beth Fritzinger Elizabeth Hart Jenna Ketchmark Stephanie Lin Emilia Vest Stephen Bailey Maddy Berner Chelsea DeBaise Kristin Ross Andrew Tredinnick Breanne Van Nostrand

said he would not have used the same language of Limbaugh. Romney’s focus on rhetoric and not strongly disagreeing with Limbaugh’s sentiments forces individuals to assume their political intentions are aligned.

After these comments, at least 33 sponsors have pulled advertisements from Limbaugh’s radio show, notably AOL, Netflix, Capitol One and Sears.

This number increases by the day because as more sponsors dropped, more pressure is placed on corporations to take a stand against Limbaugh’s immoral and unacceptable lingo.

Sponsors demonstrated willingness to pull advertising dollars to show their support or disdain for certain issues. This is a significant triumph in setting the tone for future circumstances, as advertising and finances dictate the majority of media content.

Social media played an integral role in strengthening outcry and influenced sponsors. Websites like Twitter, Facebook and Tumblr are key in shaping the ways cultural and political discourse ultimately play out.

The most significant victory that’s come from this entire siwtuation is Fluke’s refusal to accept Limbaugh’s apology. “I don’t think that a statement like this, issued saying that his choice of words was not the best, changes anything,” Fluke said on Monday. She called Limbaugh out on his phoniness and confronted the truth behind his apology.

Limbaugh apologized for “using these two words” but refused to take responsibility for the rest of his sexist spiel, which included asking Fluke and other “feminazis” to post videos of them having sex online because his tax dollars would be paying for it.

This is hardly an apology, and Fluke serves an important role in women’s rights for not only demanding more out of Limbaugh, but for also forcing society to expect more out of media, politicians and advertisers.

which he thinks is an underrepresented market.

But he said one of his professors at the iSchool who teaches a social media class encouraged him to use his love of coffee to do something more meaningful.

“The idea got formed that I could use coffee as a means of attracting people to form a dialogue,” Rhinehart said. “The people I’ve met have very good and very important ideas.”

#140cuse Conference on April 19 in the Schine Student Center. The conference will address how social media and the real-time web have changed lives. Although he will not be speaking at this event, Rhinehart said he will be serving coffee.

So far, Rhinehart has only interviewed students for his blog, but they are they are pleased with his initiative.

Alyssa Henry, a graduate teaching assistant in the social media class that inspired Rhinehart, said he tweeted her about meeting to talk over coffee. Henry said she thought the idea was great and thinks what Rhinehart is doing is really smart.

“A lot of the times when it comes to social media, you are making connections online, but

“They’ve recognized that the students are trying to take actions to fix everything in The Warehouse,” Devine said.

The change comes a little more than one month after faculty from the design department of the College of Visual and Performing Arts restricted The Warehouse hours due to inappropriate and illegal student behavior. Previously, The Warehouse was open to students 24 hours a day, but hours were limited from 6 a.m. to midnight, a move many students found unreasonable because they felt it would limit their academic performance.

Upon having The Warehouse hours restricted, students conceived an idea to create a council, or a group of students elected by their peers to represent each major in the design department, to act as a voice for the student body, Devine said.

“It’s important that everyone is involved because without having the students involved with these rules, it’s impossible to speak to us

Devine said the student council was part of the agreement to expand The Warehouse hours.

She said students were told if they could elect one representative from every design major, then the faculty would add to The Warehouse hours.

Sam Salzano, a senior communications design major, said although The Warehouse is not opened 24/7, the hours are still important for students to complete their work.

Members of the student council will be responsible for meeting with faculty members when issues within the department arise, Salzano said. The students will also be responsible for monitoring their peers in The Warehouse and making sure other students are following the rules.

“There needs to be a kind of hierarchy of how things go, and it wasn’t really working out just having the faculty and the student body,” Salzano said.”

Students are still working on expanding the student council, Devine said. They hope to have

Not only does Rhinehart make a great cup of coffee, Budmen said, but he is also a nice person who is really interested in showcasing other people.

UNLAWFUL BEHAVIOR On Jan. 23 students in the College of Visual and Performing Arts received an email from faculty stating The Warehouse hours were to be cut from being open 24 hours a day, to only being open 6 a.m. to midnight. The cut in hours was made due to students spray-painting in undesignated areas, gaining illegal access to space in the building not for student use, abusing furniture and equipment, urinating in garbage cans, stealing materials and equipment, consuming alcohol in the building and acting disrespectful to faculty who asked them to stop such activities.

if an author’s work is autobiographical. He said that most novelists would deny this, and that he himself is tempted to do so as well.

“In 30 years, I don’t think I’ve published more than 20 or 30 pages of scenes drawn from real life events that I participated in,” he said.

His only example of autobiographical elements in his work is from a scene in “The Corrections” in which the main character “wets the bed.” Franzen tentatively admitted he took many details from his real life to write that scene.

Though he wishes he could always deny writing about his own experiences, Franzen said that fiction is sometimes extremely autobiographical.

“The conception of a novel is that it ought to be a personal struggle, a direct and total engagement with the author’s story of his or her life,” he said.

After he finished discussing his least favorite questions, Franzen moved on to a much more somber issue: the struggles he endured while writing “The Corrections.”

Published in 2001, “The Corrections” received extensive acclaim and won a National Book Award the same year. But during the eight years it took Franzen to write the novel, he said he had to overcome shame, guilt and depression before finally

“I was the first person he came to with his idea,” Deiss said. “He said, ‘I’ve got this idea.

I’ve got a lot of work done, and it’s going to be very different, and what do you think?’ And I said, ‘ACRL has to publish this.’”

Deiss said Lankes’ book challenged librarians’ own assumptions about their field and raised questions such as: What do librarians do? What should they be doing? And what is their mission?

copying and “patch writing.”

Howard said that in those 174 papers, she and her colleagues didn’t see a whole lot of student voice. She also highlighted the influence of teaching methods on a student.

“What we realize from this research is that we need to teach our students how to read complex sources,” she said. “If I actually care about academic integrity, I’m going to have teacher integrity and teach them how to read complex sources.”

The panel also focused on the importance of recognizing that students have different backgrounds that affect their academic habits.

Steven Lux, panelist and director of the executive education program at the Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs, said two-thirds of the students in the program are international. This means faculty struggles with trying to give one message to 20 different perceptions, he said.

Attendee and professor Patricia Burak, director of the Slutzker Center for International Services, said she believes that education is culturally conditioned.

finishing his third book.

“By my mid-30s, I was ashamed of almost everything I had done in the previous 14 years,” Franzen said. “I wanted to write a novel about the big issues of my day.”

His struggles began after marrying his wife in 1982. He and his wife set out to work as a team to create literary masterpieces. But when he was able to sell his book and his wife was not, Franzen felt guilty rather than excited about his early success, he said.

Guilt continued to be the focal point of Franzen’s life when he and his wife separated in the early 1990s.

All the while, Franzen continued to write “The Corrections,” but he was unable to incorporate the original main character, Andy, into the story. He was also unwilling to part with Andy, who ref lected his own depressed personality. Finally, after Franzen got over his guilt and depression, he scrapped the character that was too much like him and instead created the family that would become the main characters of the book.

Jacob Kriss, a graduate student studying public relations, said he really appreciated that the University Lectures Series brought Franzen to Syracuse University.

“He is a fantastic writer,” Kriss said. “His writings make you examine yourself and how you are conducting yourself and the way you are pursuing things to try to find fulfillment.” tagreena@syr.edu

“(Lankes) thinks that it’s the librarians that make the difference in communities, and not the buildings or even the stuff inside the buildings,” she said.

Lankes has authored, co-authored or edited 15 books and written more than 30 pieces for professional audiences. This award will be formally presented at the ALA’s annual meeting in Anaheim, Calif., in June, according to the ALA release.

word what has been taught in the classroom,” Burak said. “How you repeat that back either on tests or in papers is a measure of your success. That just doesn’t work in the U.S. system of education.”

Burak said it is not difficult to change a way of learning and that “academic integrity is far deeper than a set of rules — it’s how one sees the world.”

Students with disabilities, the issues they deal with regarding plagiarism and how to approach their needs regarding academic integrity were discussed.

“There is no evidence to suggest in any way at all that students with disabilities are more likely to plagiarize than students without,” said Diane Wiener, panelist and director of the Disability Cultural Center.

The panel emphasized there is no clear solution, but participating in a dialogue on plagiarism and academic dishonesty is necessary to any future solution.

Wiener also spoke about a universal design for learning.

“Universal design for learning minimizes barriers and maximizes learning for all students,” she said. “Of course, universal design is imperfect, but the goal of it is to try to think about curricular planning in the broadest possible way.” foakindu@syr.edu

within the department today, but the policy is not available to the public.

The institution dictates whether the information is made public, said Andrea Wickerham, vice president of Free Drug Sport, which oversees the NCAA drug testing program. She said it does not matter if the university is public or private.

“I know some of our clients put their institutional testing program on their athletic department website,” Wickerham said. “And I’m familiar with some institutions that aren’t our clients that put it out there for access for their student athletes, for their coaches, for the public. To me it’s not something that they should be concerned about. It’s just a written document.”

Sue Edson, assistant director of athletics for communications, cited privacy as why the policy isn’t made public.

“It’s something we choose to keep private because it impacts student athletes, and it’s not something that we deem necessary to be public information because we believe its private information,” Edson said.

Though the athletic department could not go into detail, former SU athletes gave some insight regarding what they experienced.

At the start of the school year, all athletes attend an orientation that explains what athletes must do to stay eligible throughout the season.

This ranges from avoiding drugs to staying in compliance with department and NCAA policy.

“The meeting is basically of eligibility outside of academics,” former football player Da’Mon Merkerson said. “All the things that can get you in trouble.”

Wickerham said what the NCAA tests for and individual institutions test for are usually different.

The NCAA has a stronger emphasis on steroids, for which Drug Free Sport administers tests automatically at Division-I football programs, Wickerham said.

The focus of college drug testing is more stringent regarding street drugs, which include marijuana, cocaine, amphetamine, methamphetamines, certain prescription drugs and opium, Wickerham said.

“Individual institutions and I’m guessing Syracuse would be similar. It tends to focus most of their testing on street drugs, but probably does some anabolic steroids testing, and that could be for a variety of reasons,” she said.

As for punishment, Merkerson, who never failed a drug test at SU said he doesn’t have firsthand experience with the consequences.

But from what he understood, the athletic department has its own punishment. Then, depending on the coach of a certain sport, he or she can level a more sincere punishment.

Merkerson said every team received equal treatment.

Wickerham said the NCAA does not dictate to schools what individual sanctions should be if an athlete fails a drug test, but a school can face consequences if it does not enforce the sanctions it sets.

Don Siegel, the chair of the University Senate Committee on Athletic Policy at SU, said from what he has seen of the drug policy, the athletic department goes to great measures to ensure the policy is followed. Siegel said the department self-reports if it does not follow procedure.

Siegel said his position, along with others on the committee, is an advisory board for the department. He said he couldn’t recall the last time the committee and athletic department talked about the drug policy. But speaking generally, he thinks the policy is fine.

“From our understanding, the athletic department has always done it’s best to adhere to NCAA policy and then go beyond that sometimes,” Siegel said. dgproppe@syr.edu

Urban verse Syracuse Poster Project workshop allows residents to find passion in poetry

By Alexandra Hitzler

M

STAFF WRITER

ichael Gaut spent his Saturday morning improving his poetry skills at the South Side Communication Center on South Salina Street.

Gaut, also known as “Mic tha Poet,” said he is extremely invested in the poetry community in Syracuse and currently works as a host for the Underground Poetry Spot at The Warehouse Gallery, located on West Fayette Street. The Underground Poetry Spot is a Syracuse-based poetry performance venue that holds open mic nights twice a month.

“I try to attend anything and everything that has to do with poetry in Syracuse,” Gaut said.

On this particular morning, Gaut attended a workshop led by Herm Card, a former middle school English teacher and former board member of the Syracuse Poster Project.

The workshop was held from 10 a.m. until noon March 3 and was open to members of the public interested in entering their poetry for the Syracuse Poster Project’s haiku competition.

Gaut was one of five attendees at the haiku workshop. Each of the five attendees had previous experience in poetry writing as participants in the Underground Poetry Spot organization.

The workshop consisted of poetry exercises that emphasized the importance of imagery in haiku poetry and a period of freestyle haiku writing, which the workshop participants then shared with the group at the end of the session.

“I think the workshop went really well,” Gaut said. “I really enjoyed the emphasis on

writing and the opportunity to spread out and write your own poetry.”

The Syracuse Poster Project organization holds the poetry competition annually and haiku poems are then selected from the submissions from the community, said Card. The organization invites poets to write haiku poetry about the city, preferably focusing on the downtown area of Syracuse.

Gaut said he found the information about the Syracuse Poster Project especially interesting and plans on submitting his poetry for the competition.

“For some reason, the contest never came up on my radar, and I’ve been active in poetry in the community for the last three or four years,” Gaut said. “I’m definitely planning on submitting my work this year.”

Students from Syracuse University professor Roger DeMuth’s illustration class then select a handful of poems for the competition and create illustrations to demonstrate the poem’s theme, Card said.

After reviewing the class’ work, 16 illustrations that best combine the image and the poem are chosen. The illustrations are displayed in approximately 25 kiosks on Salina and Warren streets, Card said.

Card said the competition is a way to bring the art community in Syracuse together.

“It’s more about the collaboration than the competition,” Card said. “I always say poetry shouldn’t be written or judged to be successful based on a competition. It’s about the celebration of art, and I don’t think we are really judging any of the submissions to be more successful than others. We always get a lot of great work.”

This year, The Stand community newspaper is collaborating with the Syracuse Poster Project to promote community involvement, said Candace Dunkley, a reporter for The Stand and graduate student in the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications.

“We want to encourage the community to get involved, and I think the haiku workshop was a good way to do that. It went really well,” Dunkley said. “It’s a good way to get people to not be afraid to write.” adhitzle@syr.edu

This week, we’ll delve into domestic craft beers with high alcohol content and hops, which provide bitterness in beer. They were all purchased at the Syracuse Real Food Co-op with the help of head cashier Jeremy DeChario, and they are all available locally.

Boasting a floral aroma with a touch of sweet toffee, this beer has a cult following. Only brewed once a year and distributed in late February, its release is highly anticipated nationwide and most stores sell out quickly. With sweetness from the roasted malts on first taste, this complex brew quickly becomes bitter at the finish, reminiscent of a double India Pale Ale. Finishing a six-pack in one sitting will definitely make the drinker feel the effects of its 7.5 percent alcohol content. It rates around 93 IBUs (International Bitterness Units), featuring more than five hop varieties. It can still be found at the Syracuse Real Food Co-op, but not for long.

Smelling like a combination of pine trees and caramel with mild floral notes, Resin comes in a four-pack of Red Bull shaped 12-ounce cans. The taste, just as strong as the nose, follows suit with a flavor leaning toward hoppy (bitter) more than malty (sweet). Named because it “celebrates the extraction of hop resin,” this 103 IBU brew is bitter but medium-bodied, making it easily drinkable. It’s easy to find and plentiful in these parts because Sixpoint’s brewery representatives promote heavily in Central New York.

Dogfish Head (Del.)

120 MINUTE IPA (IMPERIAL IPA, 18 PERCENT ALCOHOL) (4.5/5)

To make this beer, hops are added continuously during a two-hour boil. Postboil, the brew is dry-hopped for 30 days, then aged on whole-leaf hops for another month before it’s sent out for distribution. Relatively rare, 120 Minute IPA costs $10 for a 12-ounce bottle and rates at 120 IBU, making it highly bitter.

Plus, the alcohol content ranges from 15 to 20 percent, usually hovering around 18 percent. It smells boozy and slightly of apples and grapefruit. The flavor has less grapefruit aroma than the nose and gradually gets sweeter with a hint of malt shining through. It’s followed by a bitter bite and mild burn on the finish — not for entry-level beer drinkers, but it’s a rare treat nonetheless.

Authentic pub food, homey decor bring taste of Emerald Isle to Coleman's

C

By Jillian D’Onfro STAFF WRITER

oleman’s Authentic Irish Pub has a leprechaun door. It’s a teeny, tiny door next to the regular-sized one, built specifically for any Wee Folk in the mood to knock back a few brewskis after work.

Like a few of the pub’s other features — an in-house gift-shop and a miniature telephone booth outside — the leprechaun door sounds tacky, but it doesn’t feel out of place.

Located in the predominately Irish Tipperary Hill, Coleman’s captures the atmosphere that an authentic Irish pub would have. The owners may appreciate a good joke, but one thing they take very seriously is the quality of their grub.

Although the menu offers several non-Irish dishes, like Scallops Bruschetta and Chicken

Tenders, the real specialties are the items that offer a taste of the Emerald Isle. The Beef on Weck sandwich tempted me at first, but another option won me over.

“I’ll have the Beef O’Flaherty, please,” I ordered.

It’s the best name for a dish ever, bar none.

A Coleman’s classic, the Beef O’Flaherty is made of thinly sliced roast beef topped with homemade blue cheese, all layered over a roll and baked in the oven. Irish fries come on the side, of course.

One cannot go to an Irish pub to eat a heaping serving of Beef O’Flaherty without also ordering an Irish beer to go along with it. At my waiter’s recommendation, I ordered Tilted Kilt.

My dining partners and I peered around the expansive pub as we waited for our meal to arrive. We sat on a wraparound porch, sepa-

rated from the rowdy bar area. Another large dining room jutted off the other side of the bar, a section filled with several cushioned booths.

All of the pub’s hardwood tables gleamed.

Predictably, much of the décor was proudly green. A diverse set of people crowded around the bar: everyone from 20-somethings to a man wearing a spiffy suit. With a pool table, free popcorn and dim lighting, Coleman’s gives anyone a good spot to go to for an evening, whether they’re Irish or not.

It took less than 20 minutes for our food to arrive. The browned top of my Beef O’Flaherty steamed alluringly. I grabbed my fork and went to town. It was even better than I imagined: every bite an explosion of cheesy, meaty glory. The homemade blue cheese melted around each tender slice of beef.

The $8.99 meal was rich and homey. I felt like

Mama Ireland herself whipped it up for me back in the kitchen. Long and oval-shaped, the Irish fries were cooked for longer than most fries typically found at a pub. A thin layer of skin barely contained a bursting amount of creamy potato. Unsalted, they could trick anyone into thinking that fries could actually be healthy.

A blessing in contrast to my heavy meal, the beer tasted smooth and light. The only way the feast could have felt more Irish is if my beer looked green.

I may have celebrated St. Patrick’s Day a little early, but I recommend stopping by Coleman’s on the actual holiday. The pub is completing a new outdoor pavilion just in time for the celebrations.

In the words of the hostess as we walked out the door, “St. Patrick’s day is going to be insane.” jidonfro@syr.edu

Tramaine Montell Ford is a jack-of-all-trades.

Since graduating in 2006, the Syracuse University alumnus has appeared in “Hairspray,” “Saturday Night Live” and danced backup for Lady Gaga in 2007’s NewNowNext Awards.

He recently released a self-titled EP on iTunes and also models. Ford chatted with The Daily Orange about his career and new play “The Tramaine Experience: An Urban Dramedy,” a one-man show being performed at the Syracuse Stage at 4 p.m. Wednesday.

Civil rights activist calls for youth involvement

By Taylor Procopio CONTRIBUTING WRITER

It didn’t matter what civil rights activist Cornel West mentioned. The audience constantly cheered in agreement and didn’t stop for almost two hours.

West visits universities around the nation to speak to students about activism. Alpha Phi Alpha and the Student African American Society sponsored West’s talk in Goldstein Auditorium.

The main question he posed to the audience, and later answered, was: “What is the new youth movement in a time when it seems there’s

“People need to be willing to go out of their comfort zone and be willing to take risks.”

nothing to fight for, and what impact will we make on our society?”

Walking onstage at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, West addressed the audience with a loud, booming voice that could be heard from the top balcony.

He then described the new youth movement for economic and social equality, which he called an awakening among youths in more than 100 cities in several countries.

He told students and adults what they need to do right now to participate and move forward in the movement. The movement encourages youths to focus on the important issues of today, like poverty and oppression. West argued that students need to be ready to fight for these issues.

“People need to be willing to go out of their comfort zone and be willing to take risks,” he said.

But he believes students are ready and eager to do this as long as they break away from narcissism. He said people today pay too much attention to things that don’t matter. After this remark, audience members nodded enthusiastically and clapped loudly in agreement.

West also discussed the importance of

having morals and leaving a positive mark in the world.

“The first challenge of the youth movement is to find your voice,” he said.

The crowd erupted into cheers when he asked, “Who are you gonna be between your momma’s womb and your tomb? What will people say when you are in your coffin?”

He stated how the movement encompasses every race, region of the world and sexual orientation. Too many people worry about fitting in, but young people are starting to have their distinct voices heard. At the end of his lecture, West acknowledged that the youth movement is a step-by-step process.

“Where it will go, it’s hard to say,” West said.

Many believe it is going to go by the wayside, but in the near future, the United States is going to see a flourishing and thriving youth culture, he said.

West highlighted the importance of living fulfilling and moral lives. He believes youths are looking for something real, but they have to be willing to speak up and stand up for what they believe in.

“We cannot be concerned about what others think,” he said. “But we must be concerned about the truth.” tlprocop@syr.edu

WHO IS CORNEL WEST?

•West is a philosopher, author and social activist who concentrates on race, gender and class in society.

•He is a member of the Democratic Socialists of America.

•He appeared in “The Matrix Reloaded” and “The Matrix Revolutions” as Councilor West. He also guest stars on “Real Time with Bill Maher,” and a character in an episode of “Law and Order: Criminal Intent” was based on him.

•He recorded a version of John Mellencamp’s song “Jim Crow” and had a guest spot on rapper Immortal Technique’s song “Sign of the Times” during his music career. source: cornelwest.com

Ford: I created the show mostly around my life growing up in the Cabrini Green projects in Chicago. The neighborhood had a lot of obstacles, which I represent metaphorically in my show. A lot of my peers were getting involved in gang activity. Sometimes there were random shootings between rival gangs, and young people would be killed.

The New York Times described your show as “hilarious and touching.” Are any scenes based on specific childhood memories?

The characters I play are based on influences I was around as a kid. It’s exciting to play characters I created at a younger age and develop them more deeply. People from my neighborhood expressed that me pursuing my dreams had inspired people. I thought, “Wow, I can inspire others.” Going after your dreams despite obstacles is a great message to share.

You’ve participated in a wide array of projects. How do you manage it all?

My interest in performing has a very wide scope. I’ve been very open to all those different areas because I genuinely love it, so

increased levels of melanin, the chemical pigment responsible for hair and eye color, cause the darkening of skin tone. It’s simple biology, so it’s funny how tanning is a tool in the pursuit of beauty.

Vacation-based “melanin rivalry” involves the daily pulling down of bikini strings, or swim shorts, to view “lines.” Everyone has that friend who only sits in the sun for two hours but manages to look like an Oscar statuette. Everyone also knows a token pale person, like Jessie Petersen, who burns watching the weather forecast on television.

“Pretty much any day in the summer I get burned, especially my shoulders and face,” said Peterson, an undecided freshman in the College of Arts and Sciences.

It’s not just the members of the ghost brigade who need to be on guard. Blondes, redheads and families with a history of skin cancer should be extra careful, according to the FDA website.

In the run up to her Florida vacation, Gibbs has been heading to the tanning salon regularly. Gibbs likes to use sun beds before vacations so she’s not starting from scratch when she hits the beach. Even when she’s doesn’t have a vacation planned, she goes tanning every two weeks to maintain a good color.

if I go too long without doing something creative or artistic, I go crazy. It’s how I’ve managed for the most part to make my living off being an artist.

Do you have advice for current students on trying to make it in show business?

I would tell them to really tap into the joy and fun of being at Syracuse because when you’re a professional there’s this whole business side to it. I think sometimes students don’t fully have that experience because they’re worried about other things like auditioning and grades. For me, it was about being free to learn and the joy of growing as an artist.

What are some projects you’re working on now?

I’m working on a tour of another show geared towards elementary school kids. I tour around to schools in the boroughs of New York City and perform a show about healthy lifestyle habits like eating and exercise. It’s an organization with the same mission as Michelle Obama’s obesity campaign, so we’re trying to get Michelle’s attention.

You’re also involved with several nonprofit programs, including the Adolescent AIDS Program along with Cabrini Connections, where you yourself were mentored. How does that experience connect to your show?

It’s all tied to the whole purpose of my show and its message. The show culminates in a metaphor of the lotus f lower, the only f lower that grows out of mud. You find it in swamps. Even though it grows out of mud, the petals appear to be untouched. They’re still pure and beautiful. It’s the message that you can blossom out of murky circumstances. rjmarvin@syr.edu

Minnesota found tanning beds tripled the risk of melanoma, the deadliest form of skin cancer.

If that isn’t enough to kick your addiction to lying in a well-lit coffin, try handing in tanning goggles for sunscreen. Once on the beach, apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen every two hours, the FDA website states. Check the bottle. If your sunscreen is less than SPF 15, chuck it and go invest in your skin’s future.

Between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., UV levels are highest, according to the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control website.

If your shadow is shorter than you are, UV levels are high. It’s time to get out the sun, or put on a serious straw hat. Drinking lots of water will also prevent you from drying out.

If you go skinny-dipping at the nudist beach or play a vigorous game of beach volleyball, reapply sunscreen once you get out of the water. Birth control pills and antibiotics can also increase sensitivity to UV radiation, according to the FDA. And if you’re like a certain sex and health columnist and you’re staying in Syracuse for Spring Break, never fear. Tanning is one instance when “faking it” is kind of cool. Fake tanning products, like lotions and sprays, can give you a UV-free glow — just don’t use Otto the Orange as your muse.

WOM EN ’ S L ACROSSE

zixi wu | staff photographer ALYSSA COSTANTINO stopped a career-high 13 shots in Syracuse’s victory over No. 7 Florida on Saturday. She has seen increased time in net in each of SU’s last two games.

Costantino takes lead in goaltender competition early

By Stephen Bailey ASST. COPY EDITOR

Since day one of training camp, the starting goaltending job has been an open competition between Alyssa Costantino and Kelsey Richardson.

Even on Feb. 17, four days before SU’s season opener against Boston College, head coach Gary Gait had yet to declare a starter.

But after playing 42 minutes against No. 1 Northwestern on Wednesday and the entirety of Saturday’s double-overtime win over No. 7 Florida, Costantino appears to have seized the upper hand.

“Definitely the support of the sideline, everyone on the team, everyone in the stands helped me really stay focused in the (Florida) game,” Costantino said.

The duo split halves in each of the No. 5 Orange’s (2-2) first two games, but in the last two contests, Costantino has dominated time between the pipes. She held the top-ranked Wildcats to just three first-half goals — their lowest total all season — before tallying a career-high 13 saves against the Gators en route to SU’s first win over a top-5 opponent since 2006.

With those extended minutes, the sophomore has improved both her play and confidence in net, and she has also taken control of the position battle.

Richardson, a freshman, played the second half against No. 8 BC and No. 6 Virginia, and the final 24-plus minutes against Northwestern, but she has started each of SU’s four games on the sidelines.

Facing a fifth consecutive top-10 foe Saturday against No. 4 Maryland, Gait said he will likely turn to Costantino to start once more.

“I think so,” Gait said. “We talked about it.

We also talked about possibly starting Kelsey, so we’ll see what happens. We’ll go through practice this week, and we’ll make a decision as we get closer.”

Costantino’s sturdy play has certainly dictated her cemented position behind the SU defense.

Midway through the first half of the Northwestern game, Costantino crouched alertly, watching as SU defender Jill Cammett fought to prevent Wildcats midfielder Erin Fitzgerald from backing down toward the net.

But Fitzgerald was crafty, faking a spin right before turning back to beat Cammett.

The NU midfielder then fired a close-range rocket to the left of the net, but Costantino calmly blocked the shot.

“We’re just trying to cut off their angles and make it a pressured shot so it’s easier for us to save,” Costantino said. “And the defense is doing a great job on that.”

Against the Gators, Costantino did just that, discarding three of UF’s six free-position attempts.

She credited the success in part to the high level of competition between herself and Richardson in practice. The goalies push each other to improve, but when the Orange lines up against an opponent, both said it doesn’t matter who’s in net and who’s on the sidelines. They support each other regardless.

Though Richardson said she was used to starting every game after playing primarily without a backup in high school, she embraces the contributions she can make to the team from the sidelines or on the field.

“Of course I want to be out on the field,” Richardson said. “I want to help out my teammates, but at the same time, if Alyssa’s having a great game I’m going to be there to support her.

“But definitely in practice I’m working a little bit harder, definitely trying to focus more and just trying to play the best lacrosse that I can so when I do get those opportunities to be in the game I can be the best for our team.”

Even when Richardson found out she would be replaced in the second half against Florida, she was there for her Costantino.

Richardson pulled Costantino aside after halftime warm-ups, telling her that she was playing great and to keep it up for the victory.

For Costantino, that support means everything.

“Just that constant, positive support helped me play my best,” Costantino said.

“Having Kelsey there on the sideline talking to me specifically — because she knows exactly how I feel — having that connection with her really helped me stay focused and calm during the game.” sebail01@syr.edu

MEN’S SOCCER VUOLO

FROM PAGE 20

College, Vuolo followed his coach to Syracuse in 2010. Though the Orange went 2-10-5, Vuolo made 79 saves in 16 appearances and was named the team’s MVP, garnering multiple professional offers.

Vuolo was a three-year starter at Hartwick, where he was named Mid-American Conference Goalkeeper of the Year in 2009. But success did not come quickly for Vuolo.

When Vuolo arrived at Hartwick in 2006, he admittedly had plenty of maturing to do.

“(Vuolo) thought it was important to be going to a club and playing.

It is difficult for such a young keeper to start straight away in the professional environment, and knew he would improve much quicker with solid minutes on the field, rather than sitting as a second keeper.”

Nick Roydhouse

FORMER SU MIDFIELDER

He competed for the starting spot his freshman year but ultimately redshirted. In his first player’s meeting with McIntyre, Vuolo pelted McIntyre with questions about the coach and the keeper starting ahead of him.

Vuolo said he was blaming others for his lack of success.

“I remember Mac telling me to stop and just said, ‘Listen, we’re having a meeting about you, so we’re going to talk about you,’” Vuolo said.

“And that’s actually stuck with me for the years all the way leading up to now.”

By the time Vuolo and McIntyre moved to Syracuse, the goalkeeper was a proven leader. Still, McIntyre told Vuolo he would have to earn the captain’s armband and prove himself to his new team. Vuolo quickly gained the trust of his teammates, hardly surprising McIntyre.

“His work ethic is second to none and so we knew that he’d have that right caliber personality in his ability to integrate with the other guys,” McIntyre said.

That work ethic made an impression on Jukka Masalin, an assistant at Hartwick before moving with McIntyre to Syracuse. The winter after Vuolo’s senior season, Masalin fished through his contacts in his native country of Finland.

Masalin learned Juha Malinen, head coach of AC Oulu, needed a new starter between the posts. Vuolo arrived in Finland and quickly impressed Malinen enough to earn a contract offer.

The goalkeeper also had offers from teams in the United Soccer League and MLS. It was a hard decision for Vuolo, so he sought some advice from former Hartwick and SU teammate Nick Roydhouse. “(Vuolo) thought it was important to be going to a club and playing,” Roydhouse said in an email to The Daily Orange. “It is difficult for such a young keeper to start straight away in the professional environment, and knew he would improve much quicker with

solid minutes on the field, rather than sitting as a second keeper.”

The everyday intensity of training for the long Finnish season meant that soccer was finally Vuolo’s job. Yet simply living in the Nordic country brought challenges of its own.

When Vuolo took his first steps on Finnish soil it was minus 33 degrees Fahrenheit. During the team’s three-month preseason, the team trained inside twice a day while it was dark and freezing outside. There were days when Vuolo said he could not go outside with anything more than his eyes exposed.

During the 2011 season, Vuolo turned in 11 shutouts in 24 of the team’s matches. AC Oulu exercised their option to bring Vuolo back for a second season.

But Masalin recommended Vuolo to a former teammate, Juha Reini, who was working as a player representative in the United States.

Reina began representing Vuolo and contacted Erik Solér, the general manager of the Red Bulls and Reina’s former agent.

“He picked him out as a client, and he had the connections here at Red Bulls already,” Masalin said.

In need of a goalkeeper, Solér asked Todd Hoffard, New York’s goalkeeper coach, about Vuolo.

Hoffard called his former Hartwick teammate, McIntyre, to learn more about Vuolo’s day-today training habits.

A long signing process ended with New York paying an undisclosed transfer fee to AC Oulu to sign Vuolo.

In New York, Vuolo is shielded by Rafa Márquez, a former FC Barcelona defender who captained Mexico at the last three World Cups.

And he faces shots from rising American talent such as Juan Agudelo.

Facing top competition, Vuolo expects himself to be the hardest working player on the field. So far, he has lived up to that standard.

Vuolo has impressed Hoffard with his drive and blue-collar work ethic, the same qualities that endeared him to his former coaches and teammates at Hartwick and Syracuse.

“JV is the hardest working player I’ve ever been associated with,” Roydhouse said. “He had a professional mentality well before he became a professional soccer player.”

When the 12-year-old Vuolo made his decision to one day turn pro, he set off a career driven by constants in his mentality.

That mentality carried him along every stop in his career. From his days as a disgruntled freshman at Hartwick to leading by example in Syracuse to Finland and back to New York, Vuolo was always working.

With the Red Bulls, Vuolo is happy to be fighting for a starting spot with the league’s elite.

“It’s very professional, it’s very demanding and so I like it,” Vuolo said. “I mean, I love it. I couldn’t be in a better environment.” jmklinge@syr.edu

TOP OF HIS GAME

Jeremy Vuolo has risen up the professional ranks since his senior season at Syracuse in 2010. The former Orange goalkeeper was a standout for a struggling program in head coach Ian McIntyre’s first season at the helm.

Vuolo spent a year playing professionally in Finland before playing with the New York Red Bulls of Major League Soccer this season.

Here’s a look at his path beginning at Hartwick College: YEAR

MEN’S BASK ETBA LL JOSEPH FROM PAGE 20

bench in 2009-10. He had to be great.

In the two seasons since, Joseph has assumed a role as team leader. He hasn’t been Johnson, a player who captivated the Syracuse fans during one remarkable season on the court. But the senior from Montreal has found his niche as an unselfish, consistent player on the wing for Syracuse. And he is the Orange’s go-to player.

Joseph will leave Syracuse as the all-time winningest player in Orange history — something he accomplished against Louisville on March 3. It has not been flashy, but he leads the team with 14.1 points per game and has scored in double digits in all but five games of his senior season.

When all is said and done, he’s next in the line of talented swingmen to develop a legacy at Syracuse.

“He’s very talented, he’s very chill,” SU guard Brandon Triche said. “He’s a guy you want to be around, and he’s getting his degree as well. Guys that stay four years really help the team out.”

Joseph said the expectations entering the 2010-11 season, his junior year, did not bother him. He set high expectations for himself entering the year as well.

Still, Joseph acknowledged the media hype surrounding him was that he was going to burst

“When it comes down to it, I’ve been here four years. I’m one of the veterans on this team. And I would trust myself with the ball in my hands in the dying seconds of a tie game.

Whether I make or miss the shot, I’d rather have the ball in my hands.”

Kris Joseph

SU FORWARD

into the starting lineup and be the next star for the Orange. He chose to ignore it.

“I wasn’t thinking about whose shoes I had to fill because I don’t think that would necessarily help out the team,” Joseph said.

Joseph referred to himself as a facilitator.

But he can score, too.

He was a scorer for Archbishop Carroll High School in Washington D.C., the high school that bred SU’s all-time leading scorer, Lawrence Moten. And Joseph was a scorer off the bench as a sophomore at Syracuse.

At Archbishop Carroll, though, he was one of the bigger and more athletic players on the court. He was relatively unknown heading into his sophomore year at SU. Now, he deals with the brunt of the opposing

team’s defensive game plan. So he has no problem moving the ball to someone with an easier path to the basket.

“If you need him to score, he’ll score. That’s the thing about him,” Johnson said. “If you need him to have a big night, he’ll have a big night for you. But he’ll really just try to get everyone else involved and score when he needs to score.”

Moten is close with the player who shares both his high school and college alma maters.

He said he remembers hearing about Joseph being a top talent in high school.

Like Johnson, Joseph possesses a similar game to Moten, too. The long-armed, slash-andshoot wing players who have become staples of Syracuse head coach Jim Boeheim’s 2-3 zone and are dynamic on offense.

“It’s a gift of having a knack for the ball and knowing where to be in particular positions in the right place at the right time,” Moten said.

“And I see that in him.”

Joseph’s junior season didn’t live up to the expectations that were in place for him. He averaged 14.3 points per game, but he did not do what Johnson did. He was steady, less exciting.

Moten described Joseph’s style as “low-key.”

There is a lot of hard work behind the scenes. He is quiet and humble on the court.

But at times, he is still able to step up. That’s been especially evident in his senior season, a full year after Johnson left SU. “I think a lot of people were sort of hyping the situation more than they should have,” Johnson said. “Just not letting Kris be Kris and putting a lot of stuff on him. But I think this year it’s working out for him, and I think the team is showing that, too.”

The 2011-12 season can be Joseph’s legacy.

Though Dion Waiters has been flashy, C.J. Fair has produced some highlight-reel dunks and Fab Melo is the Big East’s Defensive Player of the Year, Joseph is still the player Syracuse can trust most with the game on the line.

He knocked down a long jumper over Stanford guard Jarrett Mann to put the Orange up one with three minutes left in the NIT Season Tip-Off championship game Nov. 25. Against Georgetown on Feb. 8, Joseph got open for 3 from the left corner to provide the clinching points in a 64-61 overtime victory. Joseph said that game is one of his favorite moments of his career.

Joseph might have missed those clutch 3-pointers if he was the player of two years ago. He might not have taken them. But he developed that shot into a reliable tool to keep defenses honest. Joseph said he feels he’s more comparable to Johnson this year because of his shooting ability.

And with the Orange heading into postseason play on fire, he still has a chance to do something that would make Johnson incomparable to him — lead SU to a national championship.

He’ll want the ball in his hands for a shot in that game. Something that helps him fit right in with the other historic wings in SU history.

“When it comes down to it, I’ve been here four years. I’m one of the veterans on this team,” Joseph said. “And I would trust myself with the ball in my hands in the dying seconds of a tie game. Whether I make or miss the shot, I’d rather have the ball in my hands.” mcooperj@syr.edu

STEADY AS THEY GO

Kris Joseph has become a leader for Syracuse and has established himself as the go-to player on the court. After the departure of Wes Johnson, now a member of the Minnesota Timberwolves, Joseph stepped up to be the Orange’s next prolific small forward, and eventually, the all-time winningest player in Syracuse history. Here’s a look at some of his stats during his four seasons with the Orange: YEAR

SU haunted by ball control in 1st setback

By Andrew Tredinnick ASST. COPY EDITOR

For the entire first half on Sunday, Syracuse’s offensive efficiency masked all of its other issues.

Despite a minus 14 margin in ground balls, and a minus six differential in the faceoff X, the Orange sailed into halftime with a twogoal lead.

But in the second half, those areas of concern caught up to SU and cost it the lead. Virginia began to dominate possession in the second half, breaking out for 10 goals in the process to dispose of the Orange by four goals.

“It was tough because we didn’t do very well at the X, and I guess they had the ball most of the time,” SU midfielder Luke Cometti said. “I think if we could have had the ball on offense we could have kept up with them. That third quarter was tough, and by the time the fourth quarter rolled around, we were a little too far behind.”

This year’s Syracuse squad hopes to take the Virginia contest as a learning experience, as it will work to improve all the areas of

chris janjic | staff photographer LUKE COMETTI (53) and Syracuse are looking to rebound from a tough performance in their 14-10 loss to No. 1 Virginia last Sunday.

The Cavaliers came back from a two-goal halftime deficit by controlling faceoffs and ground balls throughout the contest. half. The No. 6 Orange (2-1) still hasn’t put together an all-around performance, and the loss to UVa pinpointed all of the team’s areas of concern.

Head coach John Desko said Syracuse’s mood going into the game was no different from the way it has been in the past. And despite having a younger roster, the Orange still expected to play to the level of the top-ranked Cavaliers and leave Charlottesville, Va., with a win.

“I think it helps us grow up, but to be honest with you, we have a young team, but we go into that game thinking that we’re going to win that game,” Desko said. “This is Syracuse lacrosse and any team that we go in against we think we’re going to win that game.

“Am I disappointed in the loss? Yes. Can we get better? Yes. And did it help us get better? Yes.” After the Orange emerged from the first half with a 6-4 lead, there was little reason to conclude that SU was turning in a f lawed performance. The Orange matched Virginia in shots taken and had forced one more turnover.

This sudoku was badgered by a sausage

But in the second half, all the negatives materialized as the Cavaliers kept the ball out of Syracuse’s sticks and dominated possession.

Cometti said that was the toughest part of the third quarter.

SU simply couldn’t dictate the tempo of the game. And Desko couldn’t mix and match the lineups with Virginia controlling it.

After containing UVa’s attack for 30 minutes of play, the Cavaliers broke through in a big way. Virginia won seven more draws than SU in the third quarter to distance itself by two goals. And that success carried into the fourth quarter as SU struggled to claw back.

“I think we grew as a team a little bit,” SU defender Matt Harris said. “We kind of experienced the ups and the downs of a big game like that — big stadium, big crowd —so I think that’s definitely going to help us down the road.”

The close defense performed admirably, limiting Virginia’s leading scorers Steele Stanwick and Chris Bocklet to just two goals. But the damage was done in the midfield as the Cavaliers

produced 10 goals from that position.

Harris said the performance of UVa’s midfield will prompt Syracuse’s defensive unit to be more aware of the team’s weapons in the future.

“Shutting down their attack doesn’t mean you shut down their whole team,” Harris said.

“They have a lot of great players on their team.

We just have to slide a little bit earlier. I think we’ll work on our communication this week to get that pat down.”

The loss came with a lot of lessons for the inexperienced players making up the Orange’s roster. But despite all of its imperfections, Syracuse still hung with the defending national champions.

And although there is still a lot to improve on, SU got a glimpse of how critical it will be to correct its deficiencies moving forward.

“It’s one game, we’re in good shape and we should be able to play hard the whole game,” Cometti said. “I think we clean up a couple mistakes here or there, we’ll be able to do it.” adtredin@syr.edu

Syracuse will compete in the EA Sports Maui Invitational in 2013. The Orange is among the eight-team field announced in a tournament press release Monday.

SU won its only two previous appearances in the highly competitive early-season tournament in 1990 and 1998.

The 2013 field also includes Arkansas, Baylor, California, Gonzaga, Dayton, Minnesota and host Division-II Chaminade. The eight teams announced Monday are a part of the Championship Round of the tournament. Four more teams will play in the opening and regional games as part of the tournament, too. Those schools will be announced at a later date, according to the tournament release.

The games will be played at the Lahaina Civic Center in Maui, Hawaii. The tournament is often held in late November.

The 2013 tournament will be the 30th in the event’s history. In addition to Syracuse, Dayton and Gonzaga both won the Maui Invitational in 2003 and 2009, respectively.
