Dean chosen, will start at SU on July 1

By Casey Fabris NEWS EDITOR

Naturally inspired

Michael Speaks has been named the new dean of Syracuse University’s School of Architecture.

Speaks, who is currently the dean of the College of Design at the University of Kentucky, will start in the position July 1.

“The School of Architecture at Syracuse is among the most highly regarded in the country and the world,” Speaks said. “It always has very high rankings, the faculty are terrific, the students are terrific.”

Mark Robbins, former School of Architecture dean, stepped down in May of 2012. He was replaced with interim dean Randall Korman, who started July 1, 2012.

Vice Chancellor and Provost Eric Spina, who made the announcement of Speaks’ appointment, said Speaks was an excellent candidate because of his collaboration, ability to connect the School

The field of biomimicry should be further developed for the betterment of the Syracuse community.

It’s not what Mark Erwin sees that brings him back to his time in Iraq. It’s the smell — an amalgamation of scents that will hit him every four or five months, sending him six years back in time.

Back to the front lines.

“It’s not visually seeing something, it’s the sense of smell because it relates,” said Erwin, a 2012 Syracuse University alumnus. “You can see

a picture of it, but when you smell it, I think that sense is so much stronger.”

Erwin spent 15 months in a war that lasted more than eight years.

March 20 marks the 10-year anniversary of the launch of Operation Iraqi Freedom, commonly known as the Iraq war. Since then, more than 4,000 Americans have died and more than $1 trillion has been spent — a number that continues to rise. Even 10 years later, public policy experts continue to denounce U.S. involvement, and veterans reflect on the lessons they learned in their time at war.

Search forums help college find next president

By Jessica Iannetta ASST. NEWS EDITOR

SUNY-ESF continued the search process for its next president with two campus forums for faculty and staff members, held last week. Forums for students, as well as another forum for staff, are planned for next week.

The two forums for faculty and staff members held during Spring Break were well-attended, and provided an opportunity for community members to voice their opinions about what they would like to see in the next State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry president, said Vita DeMarchi, chairwoman of the ESF Board of Trustees and co-chair of the presidential search committee.

There are three open forums scheduled for next Tuesday, including the first student forums. An open forum for faculty members will be held from

SI cover features SU fans

By Sam Blum Staff Writer

Syracuse basketball may not be the top ranked team in the country, but that didn’t stop Sports Illustrated from featuring New York’s College Team on one of its covers for the NCAA Tournament preview.

Sports Illustrated released the photograph on Twitter on Tuesday morning, spotlighting Syracuse point guard Michael Carter-Williams among a slew of orange-clad Syracuse University students.

The magazine contacted SU Athletics’ communications office about the photo, said Ben Glidden, president of Otto’s Army. The communications office then put the task in the hands of Otto’s Army, which selected group members who commonly support SU’s teams, he said. They specifically looked for students who had camped out for the Feb. 23 game against Georgetown.

“I really wanted them to kind of reward the people who have given a lot to Otto’s Army over the semester,” Glidden said. “The people who attend the meetings, the people who camp out, things like that.”

Even though the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to appear on a Sports Illustrated cover enticed many, the timing of the shoot was still inconvenient for some, he said.

As a result, members of Otto’s Army had to search last minute for students inside Sadler Hall, located adjacent to the Carrier Dome, to fill out the photo, Glidden said.

“The commitment was pretty long, and it was right in the middle of a school day, so we got a bunch of people rounded up, and unfortunately, not everyone that we got was able to make it,” Glidden said. “So with a dorm right there, a few of our board members took the initiative and headed on over.”

Trish Kilgannon, a sophomore broadcast and digital journalism major, was invited to be in the photo

by Glidden because she had camped out to see the Georgetown game. She said seeing her photo on the cover Tuesday morning was a remarkable experience.

“I was very excited (Tuesday) morning,” Kilgannon said. “We didn’t know exactly when it would be coming out. My friend saw it on Twitter and sent me the picture, and I quickly see si page 8

National Geographic photographer discusses ending light pollution

By Kerry Wolfe Staff Writer

Eighty percent of children alive today will never see the Milky Way, said Jim Richardson, a photographer for National Geographic.

Richardson gave a discussion called, “Our Vanishing Night: Light Pollution” on Tuesday in Hendricks Chapel. The lecture, a part of the University Lectures series, was free and open to the public. Through photos, Richardson showed the effects of light pollution on the environment,

and encouraged the audience to take steps to join the movement.

“The stars you see up there in the sky are not just beautiful objects,” he said, gesturing to his photograph of a deep blue sky, scattered with glowing stars. “They are our home.”

In the last 100 years, the dark side of the Earth has grown brighter, Richardson said. Light from sources such as industrial plants and street lamps now pours into the night sky.

He showed an aerial photograph of Chicago, a city he said provides a

dramatic depiction of the effects of light pollution. In the photograph, street lamps illuminated the city’s streets, visible through breaks in clouds gilded by reflecting light.

“That light going up that you can see in the sky is a waste,” he said. “It is doing no one good.”

Light pollution does more than just aesthetic damage, he said. A lack of darkness at night suppresses melatonin production. It also disrupts circadian rhythms, resulting in a sense of fatigue and worsened general

health. The glare from streetlights also makes driving at night unsafe, he said.

Humans are not the only ones who suffer. Birds fly into buildings, their flight migrations disrupted by artificial light. Fireflies are especially sensitive to light – even something as small as a flashlight can disrupt what he referred to as their “sex orgy.”

Lighting on the beach also affects turtles’ ability to nest. Richardson see richardson page 8

Officials create partnership with Saudi Arabian school

By Nicki Gorny Asst. News Editor

The influence of Syracuse University’s School of Information Studies is global, now stretching all the way to the Middle East through a formal partnership with the all-female Effat University in Saudi Arabia.

The continually developing relationship with Effat is part of a broader, global outreach initiative within the iSchool, said Paul Gandel, an iSchool professor and key con-

tributor to the project. The school also collaborates with institutions in Rwanda, Uganda and Malaysia.

“The world is becoming more and more global and multinational,” he said. “The key to anyone’s success in the world today is what probably can be best referred to as cultural intelligence, in the sense of understanding various cultures, various areas and being comfortable working in multiple cultures.”

This is evident in the recent

partnership with Effat, he said. The partnership was finalized when a group of representatives from Effat and from the royal family of Saudi Arabia came to campus on March 6.

The partnership continues the curriculum-based relationship that has developed between the two institutions throughout the past year and a half, and also opens the door for broader, more mutually beneficial interactions that could include student exchanges, research collabora-

tion or joint classes.

The partnership developed when officials from Effat, which was founded 14 years ago, sought outside consultation for its information systems curriculum about a year and a half ago, Gandel said.

“Effat University is, compared to Syracuse, a fairly young program.

They’re shaping their program and their curriculum,” he said. “They came to Syracuse as an older and see effat page 6

Libertarians offer opposition to views presented by both major parties

ith his historic filibuster two weeks ago and his win in the Conservative Political Action Conference’s straw poll this past weekend, Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) is the hot name in politics.

The senator’s recent success has put a lot of attention on his biggest supporters: Libertarians.

Currently the fastest growing political entity in the nation, Libertarians are conservative only in respect to the role of the government. They believe a government that governs best, governs least, and that man should be as free as possible.

They also believe the role of the government should be confined to protecting the rights of life, liberty and property. Thus, Libertarians believe in the highest degree of civil liberties, and that the government has no right to dictate what citizens do with their lives or their bodies, so long as these rights are not infringed.

Libertarians also strongly oppose the unnecessary wars and foreign intervention that have become staples of the Republican Party.

Now, a Republican like Rand Paul, who largely believes in these Libertarian principles, is garnering increasing support from a wide variety of Americans. But this is troubling for

old-school conservatives, who make up most of the good old Republican Party most of the country has come to know and, well, despise.

And while Republicans like Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) and Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) try to discredit Paul and maintain the status quo, many high-ranking liberals are not happy, either.

The truth is, in the eyes of the establishment, comprising those atop the political, corporate and media system as it stands, a strong Libertarian presence upsets their balance of power.

And by balance, I mean the increasing polarization of American politics, which has allowed the government to grossly overstep its boundaries for years.

We live in a country where all of your opinions and beliefs are diluted and compacted to fit into one of two rigid, pre-determined ideologies.

Sure, the two sides of our political spectrum have differences in social welfare programs, taxing methods and social issues. Aside from these few things, which represent just a tiny fraction of the issues, the two major parties mostly agree on everything else.

No matter who is in office or who controls

NICK SMITH

the last free american Congress, it’s more of the same: increases in spending and growth in the size of government, broadening the scope of foreign intervention, and more limits on constitutional rights in the name of security.

But if you listen to politicians and the mainstream media, you would think the difference between Republicans and Democrats is astronomical, that if the “other guy” had control, it would mean the end of the world.

This demonization of the other side and ignorance of reality divides the nation, Democrat vs.

Republican, left vs. right, conservative vs. liberal.

Both sides remain ignorant to the real threats facing their own livelihoods, caring only if their guy wins or not.

While we follow the lead of politicians and

the mainstream media and quarrel over these small differences, the wealthy, oligarchic ruling elite we call the U.S. government is continuing to expand its powers and incrementally strip our rights.

The establishment has long suppressed Libertarians – they never fit well into one of those rigid ideologies pushed on the American people.

But as of late, thanks in large part to the success of Rand Paul, the Libertarian movement has become hard to silence.

This movement is spearheaded by us, the “Facebook generation.” With the rise of social media and the Internet, we are witnessing the influence of the establishment and the mainstream media begin to collapse before us. We are starting to see the truth behind our current system, which has gotten this country into the mess it is in.

Will you join and help restore America to its founding principles, or continue to contribute to politics as usual?

Public scrutiny concerning Rihanna, Chris Brown relationship lacks validity

F

our years ago, the pop culture world shook when rapper Chris Brown made headlines for beating then-girlfriend, Rihanna. The police report, later leaked to the

public, gave vivid details of the attack, which took place while the couple was on the way to the Grammys.

Fast-forward to 2013, and the two are publicly

PARIS BETHEL

refuse to be labeled back together again. But the newly reconciled couple isn’t getting the fresh start they had hoped for. The public is not ready to forget Brown’s actions, despite his numerous public apologies and Rihanna’s forgiveness.

But is the relationship between two pop stars really any of our business? With the doubtful feedback following the pair’s announced rejoining, it seems as though the public has wrongfully decided that it is.

A softer side of Rihanna appeared in the March issue of Rolling Stone magazine, in which she opened up and spoke in detail about her relationship with Brown. The artist spoke about the dark place she had been in during the years following the incident.

She went through a period of deep emotional struggle, but said she ultimately could no longer suppress her feelings for Brown. Rihanna stood her ground in the interview, and said she would rather live with her truth than let the backlash of fans get to her.

Well backlash there has been, but Rihanna is staying positive about the two’s relationship.

She believes they can withstand the scrutiny, a bold statement given the public’s relentless interest in their personal lives.

But their potential room for progress is being challenged by the outside world. In an episode of “Law and Order: Special Victims Unit” that aired Feb. 27, the program presented their own version of Rihanna and Brown.

The episode featured Caleb Bryant, an artist who beat his girlfriend, Micha. The case was brought to trial and the two ended up getting back together. But the plot takes one dramatic step further by concluding with Caleb killing Micha.

Though based off of the actual assault

in 2009, this story goes too far. It solidified the perception the public already has of the famous couple’s relationship: Brown is impulsively violent and Rihanna is weak for accepting an abusive man back into her life. The couple’s interest in moving toward a healthy relationship is constantly being bombarded by public doubt.

This makes it difficult for Brown and Rihanna to privately continue their relationship, as the press constantly hammers them with cynicism. Brown is still struggling to regain the trust of both his and Rihanna’s fans, and his public image remains poor.

Rihanna, however, has recently gained attention because of her openness on the subject. Her interview with Rolling Stone showed she is willing to discuss her relationship with the press.

She said she understands the public’s concern and is glad to know people care for her well-being. While she speaks highly of Brown, she credits his personal growth to the four years he has had to reflect and rebuild.

Though Rihanna’s willingness to stand up for her relationship is honorable, her and Brown’s controversial bond does not resonate well with the public.

Her actions affect not only her fans, but also women everywhere. What she does, whether she intends it, leaves a vast impression on the public.

Rihanna’s interview with Rolling Stone gave her a chance to speak on her own behalf, and while it wasn’t enough to eliminate public doubt, it did expose her willingness to ensure the unhealthy aspects of the couple’s relationship do not continue.

The media have tainted Brown’s image, and rightfully so. He deserves to be reminded of his wrongdoings, but he also deserves to prove himself worthy. The media’s judgments should subside because it has become apparent that not even the public’s skepticism will tear the two apart.

Though the field is too young to begin an entire major on the subject, it is important to make more minds aware of the future of environmental innovation.

This emerging field could improve the local economy, which is vital to this city. It is a way to attract ambitious and talented individuals to the area, and could encourage university graduates to stay and start long-lasting careers.

By putting greater efforts into making this city a larger leader in biomimcry innovation, Syracuse could earn international recognition.

Following through with these efforts coincides with the center’s mission of creating jobs and wealth in New York through advances in environmental energies and technologies that promote sustainable well-being in urban environments.

SU ranks among top brands for job creation, only college to make list

By Caroline Strange Contributing Writer

Syracuse University was recently recognized as fourth on the Top 10 Big Brands Supporting Job Creation Initiatives, the only college to make the list.

Other top brands featured on the list, which was published by SmartRecruiters. com, include UPS Inc., General Mills Inc. and JPMorgan Chase & Co. FedEx Corp. received the top ranking.

The main reason SU received a spot on the list was because of the university’s South Side Innovation Center, which was created in 2006 by the entrepreneurship and emerging enterprises program at the Martin J. Whitman School of Management. The center provides facilities, classes, training and networking opportunities for the local community, according to SSIC’s website.

was to remove Saddam Hussein’s regime, eliminate its ability to utilize weapons of mass destruction and prohibit their spread to other terrorist organizations, according to a 2009 report published by the Congressional Research Service. The organization provides policy and legal analysis to members of Congress. The goal of the operation later changed to helping the Iraqi government establish a system of government, according to the report.

At about 9:45 p.m. Eastern Standard Time on March 19, 2003, U.S. forces began bombing the capital city of Baghdad. In May of that year, President George W. Bush declared operations in Iraq finished beneath the now infamous banner, “Mission Accomplished.”

But in October 2006 — three years later — Erwin, who grew up in Syracuse, found himself in Central Baghdad. And things were far from accomplished.

In 2007, President Bush sent 30,000 more troops to Iraq in a military surge. It is considered one of the deadliest years of the war, The Washington Post reported.

“I was in Central Baghdad when we made that decision, and it was a big game-changer because after that, that was the turning point, that was when we really started to see a lot more progress,” Erwin said.

But when William Banks, director of the Institute for National Security and Counterterrorism at SU, reflects on the initial decision to enter the war, he deems it unlawful.

“The worldwide community condemned it as unlawful, the secretary general of the United Nations condemned it as unlawful, yet we did it anyway,” said Banks, also an SU professor of public administration and international affairs.

Congress approved President Bush’s decision to enter Iraq, but did so based on misunderstandings by the Bush administration about the existence of weapons of mass destruction and their ties to al-Qaeda, Banks said.

Since the war, Banks said the U.S. government has started looking inward concerning foreign policy. Instead of getting involved in international military affairs, U.S. officials have started to focus on cybersecurity and getting a better handle on defense spending, he said.

“It might be several years too late,” he said, “but better late than never.”

neurs, women, minorities, low-income individuals, individuals with disabilities and those interested in food product development and manufacture, SSIC works to provide training and aid to help entrepreneurs succeed, according to the SSIC’s website.

Since its founding, the SSIC has helped 300 disabled or low-income individuals register 70 businesses, 51 of which are currently in operation, secure $1.4 million in loans and create 447 jobs, which the program helped 123 residents retain, according to SSIC’s website.

SSIC programs include the Entrepreneurial Assistance Program, supporting clients and tenants of SSIC; WISE Women’s Business Center for women seeking to start or grow a business; Syracuse Community Test Kitchen to help “foodpreneurs” launch businesses; and Start-up NY/ Program for Investment in Microentrepreneurs, which is a program supporting

Banks said for the first few years of the Iraq war, government approval decreased markedly. Though with the Obama administration came more trust in the executive branch.

While Congress and international leaders debated the legality and logistics of the invasion, soldiers continued to fight the war on the ground.

One morning, at about 5 a.m., Erwin said he awoke to the sound of a large explosion in the distance. Realizing no one else had woken up, he thought nothing of it and went back to sleep. The next morning, he found out 80 people had died after a car bomb exploded less than a mile away.

“But just to think about that, just the human

shot my tank and then, when they were rolling through, they stopped and they delivered medical aid to us…I just never ever even imagined people would do that in war.”

Erwin bonded with these men, and would eventually receive photos of their families and thanks for his hard work.

“Just to see their progress over time, to see how they were untrained,” he said.

“They didn’t know systems, and over a four-, five-, six-, seven-month period, the progress that they made, that was, to me, very, very rewarding.”

For Lt. Col. Michael Kubala, of the Syracuse Reserve Officers’ Training Corps, the lessons learned in the Gulf War were

cstrange@syr.edu

essential in training soldiers fighting in the Iraq war.

In January 1991, U.S. forces entered Iraq to assist the Kuwaiti people after Iraqi forces invaded Kuwait. Kubala was deployed to Northern Iraq to assist with the Kurdish relief effort.

“It really opened my eyes to how much I did not know about the organization, and how much I really needed to learn to make myself a better officer,” Kubala said of the experience. While there, he said he had to deal with training and supply shortages.

Kubala remembered the adversities he experienced during his first deployment.

As a junior officer in 2004, he was better able to relay those lessons when training younger soldiers for the country’s second visit to Iraq.

“I was trying to make sure that we didn’t go down that road one more time,” he said.

To this day, the United States’ involvement in the Middle East is not finished. Soldiers remain in Afghanistan, still enveloped in that noxious smell of burning tire and gunpowder.

But to the soldiers who came home wounded, and the ones who didn’t come home at all, Erwin says: “I think those are the ones who we really, truly owe our support to.”

more established program.”

In addition, SU holds the No. 1 ranking in information systems on the U.S. News and World Report list of best graduate schools, which Gandel said made SU a natural choice as a partner with Effat.

But the iSchool’s role in validating and shaping Effat’s curriculum does not only benefit the Saudi Arabian institution, he said.

“It’s really a two-way sharing,” he said. “We learn as much by reviewing their curriculum, and get new ideas, as they learn from us.”

Cultural exchanges are also a benefit of the partnership, said Sarah Inoue, program manager for international development. The partnership may provide an opportunity to look into the role of women in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics fields, for example, which differs between the United States and Saudi Arabia, she said.

While women have less representation than men in these areas in the United States, she said Effat has no trouble recruiting women to the technology field. Cross-cultural ties may help identify and address the values that make the field popular or unpopular in each country, she said.

The current agreement will last four years, Inoue said, at which point it will be re-evaluated and adjusted accordingly. In addition to representing a students’ full time in college, the four-year time frame will give school representatives sufficient time to further develop and expand the relationship, she said.

Inoue said she hopes students at the respective universities will become more active in the partnership throughout its term. This could include having Effat students enroll in the iSchool’s graduate programs, developing opportunities for SU students to travel to Saudi Arabia or creating collaborative faculty research projects.

“Coordinating students in two time zones, with two very different cultural schedules, may prove to be impossible,” she said, “but we would like to try.”

If nothing else, she said, the partnership will allow faculty members to bring a global perspective to iSchool classrooms.

Said Inoue: “I think it’s really mutually beneficial, and I’m really hopeful that students will be able to be involved.”

casualty,” he said. “So I think that was — I kind of just learned the magnitude of that.”

The U.S. Department of Defense marks the number of American casualties at 4,422.

But various news sources have reported otherwise. The Washington Post cites 4,474 casualties, and CNN cites 4,802 total U.S. and coalition casualties.

The day-to-day challenges were the hardest part for Erwin: missing his family and friends; dealing with mental and physical stress; and trying to find a tangible outcome in a war that was still years from ending.

But with the inevitable hardships came rewards.

When the United States first invaded Iraq, he said, the Iraqi army was disbanded because of its loyalty to Hussein. Afterward, American forces were paired with Iraqis to re-train them to defend the country under its new democratic leadership, Erwin said.

Erwin, who was 24 during his time in Iraq, held two roles in his time at war: a first lieutenant platoon leader and a combat adviser to more than 700 Iraqi soldiers.

While Erwin said he considers his time with the Iraqi soldiers “an incredible learning experience,” he also dealt with cultural barriers.

Erwin said he spoke with an Iraqi soldier who fought in Kuwait during the Gulf War in 1991 and “loved America.” When Erwin asked why, the man responded: “The Americans

Lack of control Budget cuts could eliminate overnight shift for Syracuse airport towers

By Alfred Ng

S

Staff Writer

yracuse Hancock International Airport officials could eliminate midnight shifts in the control towers starting April 7, unless Congress can come up with a solution to the sequester budget cuts.

In an attempt to save $600 million in the face of across-the-board federal budget cuts, the Federal Aviation Administration proposed shutting down more than 100 air traffic control facilities and eliminating overnight shifts at more than 60 facilities across the country, according to a Feb. 22 FAA news release.

Hancock is one of the many airports on the FAA’s midnight shift elimination list, which Syracuse Mayor Stephanie Miner publicly said she disagrees with.

As one of Central New York’s major travel hubs, the airport saw nearly two million passengers in 2012, according to the airport’s activity report.

The control tower’s midnight shift serves many functions for the airport, including coordinating maintenance and operations crews who divert traffic from major neighboring airports in Philadelphia, Boston and Washington, D.C., according to Miner’s letter to FAA Administrator Michael Huerta, urging him to remove Syracuse’s airport from the list.

10-10:45 a.m., and two open forums for students will be held from 11-11:45 a.m. and from 2-3 p.m.

All of the forums will take place in the Alumni Lounge in Marshall Hall.

The search committee decided to add another opportunity for faculty members to share their thoughts because of the large response it received at the first faculty forum and because some faculty members were away from campus last week, DeMarchi said.

ESF President Cornelius Murphy announced in December he would step down within a year.

Murphy has been president for 13 years, so faculty and staff members spent much of the forums reflecting, sharing and commenting on what makes ESF special and what aspects of his leadership they want to continue and improve, DeMarchi said.

FAA officials recommend that Hancock and other airports that could experience cuts to the midnight shift follow the safety procedures provided by the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association and the Air Safety Foundation. The instructions put a greater responsibility on pilots landing at airports without towers, and encourage them to “put safety first and use recommended procedures,” according to a safety manual distributed by the FAA. Nowhere in the manual does it mention what an airport should do for weather maintenance without air tower support. Christina Callahan, city aviation commissioner, said this could be a major problem for Hancock given the amount of snow in Syracuse.

“We’re the snowiest city in the country,” Callahan said. “Snow operations are critical. We have men and women on the ground with snow maintenance and equipment while planes are trying to make landings. It’s important to have eyes on our landing strip for their safety.”

Hancock has been considered a national leader in snow removal, winning The Balchen/Post Award for Excellence in the Performance of Snow and

One of the common threads in all of the forums was a focus on the future, DeMarchi said, and many ESF community members agreed the next president should be “forwardlooking.”

While many ESF community members are sentimental about Murphy’s departure, DeMarchi said the college needs to look to the future.

“We are not going to replace Murphy,” DeMarchi said. “We are going to find the next president.”

The presidential search committee will continue with the campus sessions, then use the input to build a presidential profile. The committee will interview candidates during the summer and hopes to select the next president by the end of the year, DeMarchi said.

Members of the search committee met to start the presidential search process March 5.

The committee is chaired by DeMarchi and William McGarry, the outgoing Board of Trustees president, according to ESF’s website.

Ice Control 10 times.

Miner warned in her letter that eliminating the midnight shift would make it extremely difficult to keep up the airport’s reputation.

“Unlike most of the airports identified on the list of facilities where overnight shifts could be eliminated, Syracuse Hancock International Airport (SYR) is located in the snowiest region of the country,” she wrote in her letter. “Our maintenance and operations crew rely on air traffic control to ensure their safety while on the field, and to prevent dangerous runway incursions.”

Other issues Miner brought up in her letter included the effect of the midnight shift closure on runway availability and safety risks for both passengers and employees.

The final decision on closures will be made Friday. It was originally supposed to be made on Monday, but the FAA delayed the decision due to a large number of responses from airports designated for tower closures, according to an email sent out by the FAA.

The four board representatives on the search committee are DeMarchi; McGarry; Daniel Fitts, former chairman of the board; and Matthew Marko, vice chairman of the board.

The six college faculty representatives are Susan Anagnost, chair of the sustainable construction management and engineering department; Gregory Boyer, chair of the chemistry department; Valerie Luzadis, chair of the environmental studies department; Lindi Quackenbush, associate professor of environmental resources engineering; Kimberly Schulz, associate professor of environmental and forest biology; and Timothy Toland, associate professor of landscape architecture.

The professional and support staff, academic deans, students, alumni association and the college foundation all have one representative each. These representatives are Maureen Fellows, director of government relations and institutional planning; Donald Leopold, chair of the environmental and forest biology department;

Aislinn Brackman, a senior paper engineering major; Preston Gilbert, president of the ESF Alumni Associationl; and Larry Leatherman, president of the Museum of Science and Technology, respectively.

Central SUNY administration also has three staff members on the committee. Timothy Killeen, president of the research foundation for SUNY and vice chancellor for research at SUNY System Administration, represents the SUNY chancellors’ senior staff. Bob Kraushaar, associate provost and associate vice chancellor for faculty and professional development, and Lee Riddell, chancellor’s liaison for presidential searches, represent the SUNY chancellors’ office. Kraushaar and Riddell are ex officio members of the committee.

The firm Storbeck Pimentel & Associates is also assisting with the search, according to the website. jliannet@syr.edu @JessicaIannetta

sent it to everyone I knew.”

The release of the photo comes two weeks to the day the photo was taken.

Although 50 students participated in the shoot, several were cut off by the Sports Illustrated banner at the top of the magazine.

That wasn’t the case for Julie Deutsch, a senior information management and technology major who stood next to CarterWilliams in the photo.

Deutsh said she went to the shoot with a friend. When she arrived, she asked the magazine representative if she and her friend could be Carter-Williams’ “rightand left-hand women,” to which the representative agreed.

The cover is one of four that Sports Illustrated will showcase this week. Each cover features student supporters from a different school. The three other schools are Indiana, Gonzaga and Kansas, all of which were selected as No. 1 seeds in the NCAA Tournament. Syracuse was the only No. 4 seed featured on a cover.

With the tournament still days away, Deutsh said she was surprised Sports Illustrated released the photo on Tuesday.

“I thought it was coming out next week,” she said. “And then when I saw it on the Facebook page of Syracuse University, and my friends texting me, and my friend got the Sports Illustrated delivered and he was surprised to see me. It was just awesome. It was so funny to me. I can’t believe that I’m actually on the cover.”

“His sense of the world of architecture and his own accomplishments in terms of his scholarship, of his connectivity across this country and internationally, can really help position Syracuse University to continue to grow in terms of external connectivity,” Spina said.

The selection of Speaks closes a dean search that began early in the summer of 2012. Ann Clarke, dean of the College of Visual and Performing Arts, chaired the search committee, and architecture professor Ted Brown served as vice chair.

Outside consultants Mirah Horowitz and Ilene Nagle from Russell Reynolds Associates assisted in the search.

Speaks was proposed as an option when the search committee first began creating a pool of potential candidates, Spina said.

Spina stressed the enthusiasm Speaks is bringing with him to SU. “He’s really very, very enthusiastic about

Speaks said he was impressed by the work Robbins did in partnerships with Chancellor Nancy Cantor and the city of Syracuse. He said he hopes to continue these collaborations in the future.

Speaks is eager to speak with faculty, students and university officials to determine what opportunities exist and which ones SU will pursue.

“A lot of what we can do there is going to depend on what the faculty and students see as opportunities themselves,” he said.

After spending more time at the university and assessing the program’s strengths, Speaks will be able to determine how best to enhance them. He said this is what he did at his current position at Kentucky.

Speaks said he and Robbins share similar views on where the School of Architecture should go in the future.

“There are certain things I’m interested in, but so much of what Mark Robbins was already doing parallels the work I’ve been doing here in the state of Kentucky, and we want to continue

that,” he said.

Speaks has taught courses in architecture and graphic design at universities like Harvard, Columbia and Yale. He also served as director of the graduate program at the Southern California Institute of Architecture, according to a Tuesday SU News release.

He received his bachelor’s degree from the University of Mississippi and his doctorate from Duke University, according to the release.

Though Speaks has already visited campus, he said he would like to schedule a visit in the near future to begin discussions with the School of Architecture community.

Cities such as Paris and Berlin have begun to turn down their light usage. Communities such as Harmony, Fla., regulate their light use, creating a pleasant night scene and allowing them to coexist with wildlife, Richardson said.

He encouraged the audience to promote sensible lighting. Light pollution has only existed for the past 100 years, and society can help reverse it, he said.

“You don’t have to change the whole world,” he said. “You can change your part of it, and

make a huge difference.”

Reducing light pollution will make life richer, he said, and create a better life for all.

“I think it’s time that we, the children of the stars, grow up, assume our rightful roles as adults in the universe, and start taking care of the world we were given,” Richardson said.

Nicole Perman, a senior geography, Spanish and policy studies major, said she found Richardson’s presentation interesting, although she expected him to talk about National Geographic, not light pollution.

Cosmos set for Food Network

lauren murphy | staff photographer Tommy Siegel, the guitarist and co-vocalist of Jukebox the Ghost, performs at the Schine Underground on March 19. It was the band’s second time playing in Syracuse.

As March Madness takes over campus, Cosmos Pizza & Grill is taking over the Food Network.

The Food Network’s Cooking Channel recently released its own bracket, featuring the best dishes from 32 different college-town restaurants. The winner will be crowned Best College Eats.

Cosmos, Syracuse University’s representative, made it as a top-32 finalist. Each qualifying restaurant had one specialty meal submitted for the tournament. Cosmos’ selection is the toasted honey bun sundae, made with out-of-the-box toasted honey buns, vanilla ice cream and fudge.

As of 11 p.m. Tuesday, Syracuse was ahead in its poll with 57.6 percent of the votes.

According to the Cooking Channel’s website, the “madness shouldn’t be reserved just for basketball and college mascots.”

Selections were based entirely on the food and without any influence from the actual NCAA March Madness teams. To qualify, restaurants simply needed to be near a college campus, a staple of students’ diets and, as the Cooking Channel puts it, “awesome.”

Fans and foodies alike can vote for their favorite first-round dishes on the website through March 21. Each poll already has thousands of votes, with varying degrees of competition between the foods. Fans can vote an unlimited number of times as the tournament progresses.

The Cooking Channel also provides the recipes for each dish featured on the website. Included are the ingredients, the time each dish takes to make and instructions. Users who have eaten the food can also review it for the blog.

Cosmos’ first opponent is the University of Pittsburgh’s Fat Heads.

Its signature dish is the Southside Slopes sandwich. Packed with fried pierogies and kielbasa, the sandwich – also known as a “headwich” for its comparable size to a head – made it onto Maxim’s top 10 list of best “meat hog” sandwiches in the country.

Cosmos has the edge over Fat Heads in price. At $5.59, the honey buns fit a college student’s budget better than the $7.75 Southside Slope.

The Marshall Street restaurant also serves from a larger menu including pizza, burgers, specialty salads and breakfast foods. Fat Heads, however, is praised for its beer selection.

SU and Pitt will only meet in the NCAA Tournament if both basket-

omfort food not only satisfies hunger, but also your spirit – it feeds the soul.

Macaroni and cheese, pancakes or ice cream might be comfort food for some. But bread is one of my favorite comfort foods. Just plain bread, no toppings whatsoever.

The grocery store loaves just don’t measure up to the freshly made stuff.

As a full-time student, I seldom have time to make my own bread, and consequently have been having a bit of a fresh-baked bread withdrawal.

That was until Columbus Baking Company, located at 502 Pearl St., entered the picture.

From the outside, Columbus Baking Company is unassuming, and you might even drive by it if you’re not looking carefully. The name is painted on the window of the brick building where the bakery is housed, its red letters fading from age.

Entering Columbus Baking Company is like being transported back in time to a bread bakery in Italy, which makes sense since the bakery has been churning out fresh loaves since 1895.

When I walked into Columbus Baking Company, I was hit by the smell of fresh bread. The kind of smell that only comes from the exterior of bread as it browns and bakes. But what I saw was even more impressive.

Columbus Baking Company is completely open. Customers are allowed to stand right where the bread-baking magic happens. The oven is at the back of the store, a storing rack stands in front of it and white sacks of some sort hang on racks on a wall. When I was there, the bread bakers – clad in white shirts, pants and aprons – sat on stools, taking a well-deserved break.

After snapping out of my mesmerized state, I turned to the register. The day’s bread selections were behind it. The cashier had a thick Italian

accent and explained what the loaves were.

Columbus Baking Company specializes in Italian-style bread, and every loaf has only four ingredients: flour, salt, water and yeast.

The day I visited, the cashier said the bakery had four bread options available: sandwich, flat, pointy and twice-baked. A fan of crispy crust, I opted for the twice-baked bread. Another great thing about Columbus Baking Company is that every loaf of bread is $2.50, an unbeatable price for the quality.

The loaf was still warm when the cashier handed it to me. Its crust was golden brown with spots of light black, evidence of being charred in a burning hot oven. The loaf was a thing of beauty.

The crust was shatteringly crisp. It was the kind of crust of which dreams are made. The interior of the bread was soft, white and spongy – what Italian bread is supposed to taste like.

The bread was great plain, but it would have been fantastic with a little butter, jam or both. I also made a grilled cheese with the bread, which was unbelievably delicious in its simplicity.

Adjacent to the bakery is the Columbus Baking Company Deli. The deli sells sandwiches made from the bakery’s bread, meats, cheeses and bulk olives. You can build your own sandwich by choosing one meat, like prosciutto or sopressata, and one cheese, like aged Canadian cheddar or asiago.

The deli also has a menu of specialty sandwiches, including its most popular “Meatballs in a Heel,” which is half of a pointed loaf packed with meatballs, sauce and your choice of cheese.

For all of you bread junkies, the good news is that Columbus Baking Company is about four miles from campus. I know I’ll be back soon, probably in a few days, to get another loaf. Perfection in crispy-crusted-fluffy-interior bread form is impossible to resist. rsgemper@syr.edu

Guinness provides best beer for St. Patrick’s Day festivities

By Dylan Sorensen

BEER BITES

Last week was my favorite week of the year.

My liver had been training for this particular Saturday since the start of the semester.

The global celebration of Ireland’s crippling inability to stop brewing and drinking its superior beers is right around the corner.

You don’t want to be the weirdo drinking a Budweiser – or heaven forbid, an English beer – on the big day. In fact, you don’t want to be drinking anything that doesn’t have tiny step dancers at the bottom of the bottle to stir up the flavors and aroma. No one trains their tiny dancers better than the true patron saints of Ireland, the brewers at Guinness.

By the time you’ve finished reading the first half of this sentence, you’ve heard that Guinness is good for you. Not only that, but studies have shown that if you buy me a Guinness, I won’t start working up the courage to ask out your sister.

The mythic fountain of youth has its origins in the taps at the Guinness brewery. However, the cartographers of the Age of Exploration, who were about as accurate as the Apple Maps of today, put the fountain somewhere in Florida.

Given the abundance of retirement communities in Palm Springs and the even greater abundance of hilarious old guys in Irish pubs, I’ll let you do the geography yourself.

Guinness is a beer to start a conversation with because it’s like drinking a loaf of bread – really, really good bread. Along with an empty glass, every Guinness leaves you with personal satisfaction, from your first sip to the last. That’s a lie, your first sip might involve you wondering what you’ve gotten yourself into. Don’t panic, take a deep breath and make sure it was poured correctly.

I’ve been raised to storm out of bars that don’t pour correctly. Don’t get me started if the barkeep isn’t using the proper glass. Guinness is the original “You’re Not Doing It Right!” beer. Serving someone a Guinness is a strictly observed ritual, and any other way is robbing you of your experience. The server should begin pouring while your official Guinness glass is at an angle, with the head reaching the harp above the logo.

It can be helpful to keep a finger on the harp to be sure. Your beer should look like you just poured a car bomb right now – and that’s OK. Wait for it to settle down before topping your glass off until the head rises just above the rim of the glass.

If you’re at any point suspicious the Guinness you’ve been served hasn’t been poured correctly, you can be sure the barman is a redcoat and should be force-fed fish and chips until he finally admits it makes more sense to call them fries.

Researchers show multiple psychological effects from having sex with exes

nodded when he passed me his phone. In the photo, they were a big, round handful.

They had perfect areolas, with no rogue nipple hair in sight. He told me when life was hard, he used to squeeze his head between those lovely lumps and the world was a good place.

His shoulders slumped as he stared, his tongue hanging limp like a dog. He loved his girlfriend, but he loved sex and his ex’s boobs more.

In a sex-with-an-ex study published in the Journal of Adolescent Research in 2012, researchers found nearly half of the 792 17-24-year-olds questioned got back with an ex, and more than half of them had sex as a part of the make-up process.

My friend is so guilty of “ex-sex” that he should be jailed. He has upgraded phones about three times since they broke up years ago, but her boobs are still in his photo gallery. He has had ex-sex with her on and off ever since, even though she has become a cokehead in the process and her boobs are drooping.

Everyone will get there at some point: The relationship is over but you end up pulling their grubby underwear down for one last glorious time, only to wake up the next morning and

JUKEBOX FROM PAGE 9

By Marissa Blanchard STAFF WRITER

When the white banner with a drawing of the Jukebox ghost fell behind the set, the crowd knew it was time for a groundbreaking show.

Alternative rock-pop band Jukebox the Ghost took over the Schine Underground on Tuesday as a part of the Bandersnatch Music Series. Io Echo, the indie-rock group with a Japanese-style influence, opened for Jukebox with a high-energy, strobe light-infused performance.

Last time Jukebox played in Syracuse, it was at Funk n’ Waffles. The band has played hundreds of shows since it first started touring in the late 2000s.

The concert started a little later than planned when the sound check was delayed. Doors were set to open at 7:30 p.m. and did not open until 8:30 p.m., but eager fans did not seem to mind the wait. The fans of the almost-sold-out show fled to center stage and lined the metal fence that separated them from the performers.

Opener Io Echo filled the Underground with percussive, Japanese-inspired beats and the powerful, cohesive blend of lead vocalist Ioanna Gika and Leopold Ross, guitarist and back-up vocalist.

The Japanese influence resonated in the artists’ clothing and set. Ross wore a cherry blossom-printed cardigan and Gika’s floorlength sweater draped around her like a modern, hipster geisha.

The percussive-driven performance would sometimes take a break when Gika’s vocals took the lead. Her powerful voice filled the room, even as she stood with her back to the crowd and her head held high.

Gika danced and frolicked across the stage whenever Ross took a guitar solo, resembling a black-haired Kurt Cobain as he played.

IONA HOLLOWAY

just do it realize you’ve prostituted your integrity. There are many reasons why people regurgitate exes, and a million more reasons not to. Here’s a quick rundown, with some assistance from Urban Dictionary.

1) Mac-and-Cheese Sex: Much like your granny’s best pasta bake, there’s something comforting about that weird mole on his penis. Can you actually hear yourself? It’s time to buck up. First, moles aren’t comforting, and second, “safe sex,” in this instance, is not good for your health. And was this pathetic mac-and-cheese sex ever a healthy relationship? Relationships high in conflict and low in trust are more likely

After a 20-minute break for Jukebox’s sound check, the crowd was ready to see the band that kept it waiting outside on a snowy Syracuse night. An eager silence swept the Underground as the fans watched the band members complete their sound check, and anticipated how each instrument would f low into the opening song.

Warm orange and yellow lights suddenly lit the stage, and guitarist Tommy Siegel announced Jukebox would be testing out some songs with the Syracuse audience in preparation for its two sold-out shows in Boston. The crowd roared at the chance to hear new material, as most of the crowd was full of returning fans.

Leadww singer and pianist Ben Thornewill energized the room with showmanship that could not be contained behind a keyboard. He toyed between two keyboard sets while looking out into the crowd or down into the line of cameras at the front of the stage.

The band’s hundreds of shows have helped it develop a strong chemistry that never allows the energy to fade out or die. Transitions went from fast, upbeat songs to acoustic and slower pieces, and continued to build the energy within the crowd.

Jukebox has a tradition of performing a “cheesy” 1980s song at the end of the set to which the whole crowd can sing along, but Siegel announced Tuesday they would keep it classy by performing “Somebody to Love” by Queen.

An encore and meet-and-greet followed the traditional closing to the show. Fans like April Woltersdorf, a junior music education major, continue to return to the shows.

“They always do meet-and-greets,” Woltersdorf said. “I thought it was cool how they tried out the new songs for the Boston show.”

Jukebox has had great success within the past year after the release of “Safe Travels.” The band sold out the 9:30 Club in Washington, D.C., and performed for huge crowds in venues like

Championship voting will be April 4-5, and the winner will be announced April 6.

to lead to ex-sex, researchers found, which says horrific things about the joy of self-destructive behavior.

2) Retro-shag: Doing someone for “old times sake” is an offshoot of mac-and-cheese sex where you’re not craving her body, but have a quasi-sisterly affection for her, so why not?

3) S(ex) Dream: Oh, you’re so good, yes, right there, baby. Five minutes later, you wake up to Nelly singing, “It was only just a dream” on Pandora, your penis is making a tent from under your comforter and you’re very much alone in your bedroom. S(ex) dreams can leave you gasping for what you used to have, but check if you’re dreaming with your rosecolored glasses on.

4) Relapse Sex: Much like a drug addict, you may have gone on a celibacy crusade to get over your ex, leaving you sex-starved and hungry for anyone. Then your ex texts, “Hi” and your chastity belt is broken within the hour. Here’s a thought: While rebound sex with a random isn’t always a great move, it could function as ex methadone.

5) STI Sex: Researchers found that about 60 percent of couples that break up, then have ex-sex, will sleep with someone else in the

interim. Contraceptive use declines during a relationship as trust builds, researchers found, therefore, the chance of someone contracting an STI, then having unprotected sex with their ex, is higher. Eek! Time to condomize.

6) Sine-Wave Sex: It’s an oldie but a goodie – make-up sex rocks your socks. Researchers found that younger people tend to cycle through a relationship, going through multiple makeups and break-ups the way people in a marriage can’t do, without owing their life in legal fees.

The rough and tumble of fighting and f*cking is intoxicating and increases ex-sex potential, researchers found.

If you love your ex-girlfriend’s boobs even half as much as my friend, ask yourself three questions before having ex-sex: Was it even that good? Will I feel like a terrible person afterward? Will I catch something?

If your answers are yes, no, no: f*ck on.

Thornewill are songwriters, so the band constantly has new material with which to work.

“We have never been a flavor-of-a-week band,” Siegel said. “Even from our inception, we basically have the same sound we started in 2004. We may be just a bit more tasteful.”

The indie-rock genre has started to gain a massive following, especially through social media. Jukebox seems to instill the elements of classic rock that captivates listeners and brings a modern twist.

“Pop music doesn’t have to be all pop. It can have some depth to it,” Thornewill said.

“I think that enables a song to be listened to more than once or twice.” mjblanch@syr.edu

SU has extra motivation to win league in final Big East season

Syracuse first joined the Big East conference in 2001, and won the conference’s first two tournaments in 2007 and 2008.

But Syracuse came up empty in each of the four conference tournaments since then. Now in its final season as a Big East member, the Orange wants to leave the league on top.

Badly.

“So badly, especially me because I’ve been here four years and I haven’t gotten a title yet,” said Syracuse senior attack Michelle Tumolo.

“But I just think that it’s do-or-die with this one because it’s the last. It’s the end of an era.”

The Orange, one of many teams that announced it will be switching conferences in the near future, will join the Atlantic Coast Conference on July 1. Five of the nine current Big East women’s lacrosse teams – Syracuse, Louisville, Notre Dame, Rutgers and Loyola (Md.) – have announced their departures. In addition to the team’s competitiveness, the mere fact that this is the last shot at a Big East title serves as extra motivation for the No. 6 Orange (3-2).

Amid the chaos of programs shuffling between conferences, Syracuse head coach Gary Gait sees a positive for college lacrosse.

Perhaps college football and basketball have much to do with the decision to switch conferences – “It’s all that,” Gait interjected with a laugh – but the head coach believes NCAA lacrosse is still on the rise.

“I think it’s going to be great for college lacrosse because you’re going to see these schools that are improving their resources for their athletic departments, that’s going to trickle down to the lacrosse programs,” Gait said. “And some of these conferences are going to turn into some great lacrosse conferences, and hopefully, they’ll get the added support of this realignment.”

Syracuse midfielder Katie Webster said the ACC has always been regarded as a strong conference, so she sees the move as “a huge opportunity for Syracuse lacrosse.” Four of the ACC’s six current teams currently rank in the

top 10. Maryland’s 10 national titles are the most in women’s lacrosse, and North Carolina, Duke and Virginia are typically elite programs.

“We’re going into one of the best conferences in lacrosse,” Tumolo said, “so I think it’ll be good because the competition might be a lot better.”

This season, SU defender Natalie Glanell said, a number of different reasons provide the Orange motivation to go out and practice every day and “work harder than any other team.”

The team’s drive to leave the Big East as conference champions, along with last year’s loss in the national championship to Northwestern and the past failures in the league tournament, inspire the Orange to thrive this season.

To further challenge Syracuse this year, Gait put together a demanding nonconference schedule, a slate the Orange is enduring now.

Syracuse played top-10 teams in three consecutive weeks when it took on Maryland, Virginia and Florida.

The Orange hopes the early-season tests will prepare it for Big East play, which starts against Connecticut on Friday. Syracuse believes it has the weapons necessary to dominate the conference, and expects nothing less of itself.

“I hope they come to our field and be like, ‘Crap, we have to play them,’” Tumolo said.

As SU’s Big East tenure winds down, its women’s lacrosse team might just have the best chance of any women’s team of winning a conference title before closing the door on the Big East and opening the door to the ACC. “I think when people do look at the Big East, Syracuse is already a known name,” Glanell said. “I’m excited to say when I grow up, ‘You know, I played in the Big East – and the ACC.’ (The Big East) is where all of our hearts are.

And it’d be even cooler to say that we left and won a championship.” pmdabbra@syr.edu @PhilDAbb

MONTANA FROM PAGE 20

“He’s everything. He’s our engine,” Jamar said of Cherry. “He’s dealt with so much this year and bounced back.”

After Montana’s win over North Dakota on Feb. 9, the Grizzlies improved to 18-4 and stood 2.5 games ahead of rival Weber State in the Big Sky standings.

“I think a big part of it was the adversity we dealt with,” Tinkle said of his team’s winning streak. “We had to play guys early in the season against tough, stiff competition a little earlier than we had planned. They got tougher and more confident. And I think that paid off.”

As Cherry anchored the Grizzlies defensively – he tallied at least three steals in nine games throughout the season – Ward proved to be the Grizzlies’ go-to scorer. The forward scored at least 20 points in five contests, each one a Montana win.

But after the North Dakota win, the Grizzlies began a five-game road trip that cost them more than their winning streak. Two days after the streak snapped with a 24-point loss at Weber State, Ward suffered his foot injury at Idaho State on Feb. 16. The leading scorer underwent surgery in the first week of March and was ruled out for the rest of the season.

“People wrote my teammates off when I got hurt. They wrote us off when Mathias Ward got hurt. They wrote us off when both of us got hurt at the same time,” Cherry said. “But my teammates had a never-say-die attitude.”

The subtraction of a leading scorer was a loss that would’ve disrupted many other teams. But how the Grizzlies stayed on their feet despite Ward’s absence is why Tinkle’s peers voted him Big Sky Coach of the Year.

A true small forward now mans Ward’s power forward slot, Tinkle said, making Montana a smaller team, but with refined ball skills.

“We’ve just kind of had to retool things,” Tinkle said. “So maybe we’re a little more athletic and a little more perimeter-oriented than we were with him. We’re not getting those inside baskets, but we’ve got four handlers and four shooters out there at any given point.”

In the Grizzlies’ first game without their top scorer, they took on a 20-win team in Davidson on Feb. 23. Down by nine at halftime, Montana battled back to force overtime. In the extra period, Jamar scored nine of the team’s 11 points – he finished with 28 points and 12 rebounds, both season-highs – but even that wasn’t enough. The Wildcats prevailed by six as Cherry re-injured his foot. He would miss the next three games.

But Montana’s effort spoke for itself as it battled with NCAA Tournament-bound Davidson.

“I thought that was a real turning point,” Tinkle said. “To go that far without our leading scorer, we know it’s a tough place to win. To take them to overtime I think told our team that we can really compete with anybody.”

The Grizzlies haven’t lost since. They clinched the Big Sky regular-season title and the No. 1 seed in the conference tournament, as well as home-court advantage throughout.

They squared off with Weber State in the championship, a chance to redeem themselves from their only conference loss of the year.

Ahead by two points with less than a minute remaining and the shot clock winding down, Cherry took a pass on the left wing from Jamar and buried a 3-pointer to put the game away and secure Montana’s return to the Big Dance.

“It was special. I was sitting out about three months with a broken foot and not even knowing if I was going to be able to return this season,” Cherry said. “To have my team get to this point is really just making me reflect on the hard road it took for me to make that shot.”

Despite the hardships that were thrown in the team’s direction and the injuries that tried to cripple it, Montana was left standing.

On Thursday night, the Grizzlies will face a bigger Syracuse team that poses potential mismatches in length, athleticism and talent.

Once again, adversity will threaten to knock Montana down. And once again, the Grizzlies will need to stay on their feet.

“We play with a chip on our shoulder,” Cherry said. “That’s when we’re at our best because we don’t expect anything to be given to us. So we go into games with the mentality that we’ve got to take it.” pmdabbra@syr.edu @PhilDAbb

Syracuse begins spring season with high-intensity practice

By David Wilson ASST. SPORTS EDITOR

In a matter of minutes, George McDonald and the Syracuse offensive sideline ran a full gamut of emotions.

First came excitement. McDonald, the Orange’s offensive coordinator, sprinted up the field with Charley Loeb after a rollout and took the quarterback down the left sideline before meeting him for a hug and pat on the back.

Then bubbling anticipation. Loeb barely overthrew an open Quinta Funderburk streaking across the middle of the field. McDonald and the rest of the sideline erupted, cheering for the near-perfect throw.

Finally, frustration. A botched handoff resulted in a scoop and score for Micah Robinson. The exasperated McDonald held his hands on his head as he watched Robinson and the SU defense celebrate its score.

Tuesday in the Carrier Dome marked the first football practice of the spring season, and McDonald and the Orange already showcased the energy they expect to be a staple come fall.

“He almost tackled me,” Loeb said with a grin as he raved about his energetic offensive coordinator. “He was the only one that brought me down, I think.

“When you see a guy like that jumping up and down, it gets you going. It makes you want to play football.”

McDonald helps bring a new, high-energy look to the Syracuse sidelines as part of first-year head

“After individual period, what we call it, and before seven-on-seven, I was dead-dog tired. I don’t think that’s ever happened to me before.”

Charley Loeb

SYRACUSE QUARTERBACK

coach Scott Shafer’s new coaching staff.

Practice started with a team huddle before individual position drills. Midway through, it switched to seven-on-seven. That’s where the intensity picked up.

“We should be a little bit upset after mistakes and we should be excited after big plays, and I think that’ll be a big difference this

year,” running back Jerome Smith said. “We’ll be celebrating a little bit more.”

But the individual position drills were still more intense than ever. Not much of the specific scheme will be picked up in the spring, but the rhythm and pace of Shafer’s offense will, which means everything is fast.

“After individual period, what we call it, and before seven-on-seven, I was dead-dog tired. I don’t think that’s ever happened to me before,” Loeb said. “We’re running everywhere. Everything we do full speed, full pace, running, I was tired, literally tired before the team periods of practice even start.”

The intensity meant celebrations after long completions, potential touchdowns and takeaways for the defense. It meant McDonald yelling at his players after mental mistakes and other gaffes. And it meant visible frustration from the quarterbacks – Loeb, Terrel Hunt and John Kinder are locked in a heated position battle – after any miscue.

After consecutive incompletions, Hunt held his arms out, palms raised to the Dome roof as his inconsistent day continued. At times, the quarterback struggled mightily, with deep throws in particular, but at other times, he was fantastic at managing the offense and evading the blitz. He

put his early struggles behind him and finished on a positive note as the offense began to click. “(Shafer) wants tough guys that are going to be physical,” wide receiver Jarrod West said.

“He said a story — you’d rather play with 10 guys and get a penalty every time than play with 11 if somebody’s slacking off.”

Part of the seven-on-seven drills on Tuesday consisted of two-minute drills, a simulation of the most intense part of the game. Even on the first day of the 2013 season, Shafer already had his team working on every aspect of the game.

Just like the system he hopes to run, the start of SU’s season was high-energy, high-speed and high-intensity.

As the seven-on-seven drills winded down, Loeb found himself once again taking snaps. He dropped back and fired a pass deep over the middle to Alvin Cornelius. The wide receiver caught the ball in stride with a clear path to the end zone. The horn sounded, signifying the end of the drill. Players poured from the offensive sideline onto the field, celebrating Loeb’s perfect pass that ended the drill on a high note.

“It was good energy,” Loeb said, “real good energy, especially first day.” dbwilson@syr.edu

Lamolinara’s 11 saves stifle Providence in 1st start of season for Orange

By Trevor Hass ASST. COPY EDITOR

PROVIDENCE, R.I. — Dominic Lamolinara beamed with pride following Tuesday’s win over Providence.

“I had 24 hours to get mentally prepared, and that’s really all I needed,” Lamolinara said.

Three days ago, he hadn’t played a second all season. After holding Johns Hopkins to two second-half goals on Saturday, though, Lamolinara earned the starting nod over Bobby Wardwell.

Lamolinara held the Friars to five goals, saving 11 shots in the process and carrying No. 4 Syracuse (5-1, 2-0 Big East) to an 18-9 blowout win over Providence (5-2, 0-2) on Tuesday night at Lennon Family Field in Providence, R.I. After allowing a goal less than two minutes in, Lamolinara buckled down and fended off Providence’s attack with poise.

“He played amazing,” SU midfielder Henry Schoonmaker said. “Those doorstep saves – he saved us probably four or five goals on the door-

PROVIDENCE FROM PAGE 20

worried about high bounces off of the rough surface. He’d only played two games in his career on

step, so you can’t ask for any more from a goalie.”

When Andrew Barton rifled a turnaround shot past Lamolinara at the 13:22 mark, Syracuse’s goalie didn’t hang his head. He said the shot was well-placed and that he didn’t have much time to react. After his first save on a ball that took an AstroTurf-induced skip just minutes later, Lamolinara said he started to get into a rhythm.

The goaltender’s task wasn’t an easy one, though. He had to deal with the quick turnaround from Saturday’s contest, the unpredictable AstroTurf and, most notably, the blustery wind and lingering snow.

“I was losing my voice by the second quarter,” Lamolinara said. “It was cold out there. I think my voice cracked four or five times.”

Despite those obstacles, Lamolinara stepped up and contained the Friars the rest of the way.

Syracuse embarked on a 6-0 run spanning just more than 10 minutes in the first quarter. With his team’s offense executing to near perfection, the pressure was off of Lamolinara.

AstroTurf. He’d have to wear sweatpants instead of his usual shorts and throw his body in front of tricky skipping shots.

Instead of fooling Lamolinara, though, the turf only accelerated the Friars’ errant shots and out-of-bounds passes that much more quickly.

“I got in a flow so it was easy,” he said.

Providence’s offense wasn’t entirely poor. The Friars circled the ball around quickly, keeping the SU defense on edge. But the Orange’s was great. It was a blur of passes, cuts and ultimately goals.

In the closing minutes of the first half, leading 10-2, SU’s JoJo Marasco swung down from the left wing and trotted behind Connelly’s already punished goal. It looked as though the motor of SU’s attack was content to run out the half.

But an eight-goal lead wasn’t enough. Marasco stuck a pass over Connelly into the face-guarded Dylan Donahue. The attack caught the ball over

SU head coach John Desko has the luxury of having two goalies in Lamolinara and Wardwell who can both contain the opposition. He said he went with Lamolinara because of his strong play against Johns Hopkins, along with the strides he’s shown in practice recently. Desko said Lamolinara excelled in what he labeled a “trap game” Monday afternoon.

“Today, he made a bunch of one-on-one saves again and played pretty consistently,” Desko said. “I think he’s playing well for us.”

One of Lamolinara’s best one-on-one saves came close to three minutes into the second quarter, when Providence’s Daniel Textor fired a shot from just outside of the crease. The ball looked like it was destined for the back of the net, but Lamolinara got on one knee as the ball bounded toward him and deflected it toward Syracuse defender Brian Megill.

While Syracuse dominated the game in all facets and the outcome was never in question, Providence still got off a substantial number

“I was freezing on the sideline, I just wanted to go out there and run. So it was just nice to get out there whenever we could, I mean, yeah, those were probably the worst conditions I’ve ever played in.”

Henry Schoonmaker

SYRACUSE MIDFIELDER

his larger defender, spun 180 degrees to his left and chucked his shot into the bottom-left corner.

The jumping, happy punching with which Providence started the game was a distant

of quality looks.

Later in the second quarter, Providence defender Michael Noyes scooped up a ground ball off of a Dylan Donahue miscue and sprinted the other way. Noyes generated space and got off a strong shot, but Lamolinara again got in front of the ball and shielded it as it squirted past the goal.

Similar saves defined Lamolinara’s performance Tuesday night. Providence came into the game averaging 12.5 goals on the season, taking advantage of a relatively easy schedule. The Friars have capable goal-scorers, but Lamolinara kept them in check.

He left the game at the 11:37 mark of the fourth quarter after surrendering a goal to J.T. Weber – a rare blemish on an otherwise special night. The contest was well out of reach at that point. Lamolinara did his job in just the fourth start of his career.

“Dom was exceptional,” SU attack Kevin Rice said. “He gave up the first goal, but they didn’t score for a while after that. I thought he played

memory as Chris Gabrielli kept his players on the chilly, windswept field for his halftime talk.

But the biting cold and snowy conditions that threatened to freeze Orange momentum after an emotional victory against Johns Hopkins on Saturday only sped up SU’s dismantling of Providence.

“I was freezing on the sideline, I just wanted to go out there and run,” Syracuse midfielder Henry Schoonmaker said. “So it was just nice to get out there whenever we could, I mean, yeah, those were probably the worst conditions I’ve ever played in.”

But it didn’t matter. Nothing would.

“It was kind of crappy weather, we had a real shaky warm-up, and then I thought everyone played real well, we had a game plan, we executed and got everyone in,” Cometti said. “So it was fun.” jmklinger@syr.edu

MEN’S L ACROSSE

Underclassmen contribute in blowout; Daddio dominates X

By Trevor Hass and Jacob Klinger THE DAILY ORANGE

PROVIDENCE, R.I. — Brenny Daly fired shot after shot at Dominic Lamolinara before the game, getting his goalkeeper ready for his first start of the season while the starters watched from the sideline.

Lamolinara gobbled up most of Daly’s shots, but a few found the back of the net. Little did the redshirt freshman know, that wasn’t the only time one of his shots would go in Tuesday night.

Daly, who scored his first career goal, was one of 41 players to see action in No. 4 Syracuse’s (5-1, 2-0 Big East) 18-9 shellacking of Providence (5-2, 0-2) at Lennon Family Field. Reserve Kyle Henry also chipped in for the Orange, tallying two goals.

“It’s always good to see Brenny do something,” Lamolinara said. “Brenny warms me up and we have a great relationship, so seeing him get his first goal was great.”

The lopsided nature of the game allowed players who otherwise wouldn’t get a chance to play to get their names on the final stat sheet.

Jay McDermott saw time on defense, Cal Paduda took three faceoffs and Ben Romagnoli closed the game in goal, among other players for SU. But Daly and Henry didn’t just play in the game, they contributed to the Orange’s highest goal total this season.

Daly’s goal came from straight on, well outside

of the crease with just less than five minutes to go in the third quarter. Syracuse was already up 13-3 at that point, and the rout was in full effect.

“We were all joking about that on the sideline, that it was like 17 (yards out),” midfielder Henry Schoonmaker said, “but he let it go and it went in. Nothing to complain about.”

Henry, meanwhile, scored two goals in the fourth quarter.

The fact that Syracuse’s third- and fourthstring players kept pace with Providence’s firstand second-stringers showcased the depth SU hopes will help continue its climb up the rankings.

“That’s something the whole team gets pretty excited for,” Schoonmaker said. “It’s great seeing Brenny come in there and getting his first goal and Kyle getting a two-goal game right off the bat.”

Daddio dominant at X With each pass, cut and dodge, Syracuse heaped increasing pressure on the Providence defense.

Chris Daddio made it constant.

The Orange’s (5-1, 2-0 Big East) faceoff specialist won 10-of-16 draws Tuesday night. He opened winning 4-of-6, fueling No. 4 SU’s furious 11-goal first half. His performance kept Syracuse seemingly always in possession, leaving Providence on the run and too quickly out of contention.

PC struggled enough to put shots on goal, and when it did, Dominic Lamolinara often stuffed them. But Daddio’s dominance at the faceoff X

keyed an even more dominant performance for his teammates.

“It’s a great feeling, especially with Daddio winning the faceoffs like he’s been,” Lamolinara said.

“When the whole team’s clicking like that, I mean I’m the last line of defense, so if it gets to me, I know someone messed up, but it doesn’t happen often.”

Daddio’s faceoff wins, frequently over Ryan Shaw, directly led to a pair of Syracuse goals.

Like the rest of his first- and second-line teammates, Daddio gave way to less-experi-

enced reserves Brendan Conroy, Cal Paduda and Elliott Burr. Combined, they went 4-for-10.

Providence bagged seven goals in the second half, but Daddio and the offense had already done the damage.

Said head coach John Desko: “It keeps the ball away from our defense and makes them play defense and gives us just those extra opportunities.” tbhass@syr.edu jmklinge@syr.edu

First-half scoring outburst propels SU to blowout over PC

Bearing down

going into this year after his performance last season garnered honors of Mid-Major All-American and MidMajor Defensive All-American. He was also named first-team, All-Big Sky for the second year in a row.

Some anticipated the 6-foot-1 guard would be the league’s premier player.

So, when Cherry’s broken foot cost him the first seven games of the year – and 37 minutes of UM’s eighth game as he slowly worked his way back – Montana struggled. The Grizzlies started 3-1, but lost three out of four games and dropped to a mediocre 4-4 record.

“He’s really our catalyst. He sets the tempo for us on both ends of the floor,” Tinkle said. “So once he got healthy, then we were able to play like we knew we were capable.”

It’s no coincidence Montana embarked on a lengthy winning streak once Cherry returned to the starting lineup. The point guard averaged 14.1 points and 4.9 assists per game as the Grizzlies reeled off win after win for a 14-game winning streak.

ROVIDENCE, R.I. — Luke Cometti called Syracuse’s warm-up sloppy.

While Providence buzzed through its offensive set SYRACUSE 18 40-plus minutes faceoff PROVIDENCE 9 before Tuesday night, Syracuse slogged around in sweats.

With 3-foot banks of snow piled along the far sideline of the AstroTurf at Lennon Family Field and the Orange jogging through its pre-game routine within 10 minutes of faceoff, the trap game SU head coach John Desko had forecast looked to be coming true.

When Andrew Barton bounced a turnaround shot from in close past Dominic Lamolinara’s right shoulder, the 15 or so Friars that formed a mosh pit on the Providence sideline looked sure of it.

But with a vicious first-half attack that included 11 goals, the No. 4 Orange (5-1, 2-0 Big East) cruised to an 18-9 blowout victory over Providence in front of 2,200 fans. It made the second 30 minutes irrelevant, a chance for Desko to play untested depth as the perpetual motion of the Orange offense stranded PC goalie Jack Connelly time and again.

“It was eventually up 6-1 the first, kind of like (Johns) Hopkins,” Cometti said, “but we knew if we kept it on, it could be an easy day for us.”

Two goals in nine seconds made it look easy. SU answered Barton’s early challenge with ruthless ease. After Scott Loy’s gentle toss over Connelly’s right shoulder for the equalizer, longstick midfielder Matt Harris scooped up Chris Daddio’s faceoff and swept in on goal. Drawing the scrambling defense, he flicked a 7-yard pass to Derek Maltz, who showed no hesitation bouncing a shot into the bottomright corner of the net.

Providence never led again. SU led 3-1 before the Friars next tested Lamolinara.

Before bussing to Providence for his first start of the season, Lamolinara

he odds were against Montana before the season even began.

Will Cherry, the Grizzlies’ celebrated point guard, broke his right foot in a pick-up game before the start of his senior campaign.

Midway through February, leading scorer Mathias Ward sprained the arch in his left foot when he landed awkwardly on another player’s foot.

But even after two of Montana’s

best players were taken off of their feet and handed crutches, the Grizzlies never lost their footing.

“It feels great,” head coach Wayne Tinkle said of his team’s return to the NCAA Tournament. “Just everything we’ve been through. We committed to doing what we could to try to get back. And facing all the adversity, the injuries, to be able to accomplish that just means the world to us.”

Although Cherry’s broken right

foot sidelined him for 10 games and Ward’s injury ended his season, the Grizzlies (25-6, 19-1 Big Sky) earned themselves a No. 13 seed in the 2013 NCAA Tournament, drawing fourth-seeded Syracuse in their first matchup. Junior swingman Kareem Jamar emerged in Ward’s absence and earned Big Sky Player of the Year honors, leading his team in rebounding and scoring 18.7 points per game after Ward went down.
