issues on the west coast?

No radiation levels of concern have been detected on the West Coast of the United States, according to a statement released by the Environmental Protection Agency on Friday. The EPA has continually monitored radiation levels in California and Washington state in relation to the radiation emitted from the Fukushima Dai-ichi plant in Japan that became unstable last week. On Friday, a monitoring station in Sacramento, Calif., picked up trace levels of radiation — the particles were 100,000 times smaller than the doses of radiation received by people per day from natural sources, according to the statement.

The EPA will continue to monitor levels of radiation in the coming days, and data is available online.

Students continue to fundraise for Japan

By Kathleen Ronayne Managing Editor

The Japanese Student Association at Syracuse University is collecting money from now until the end of March to send to Japan relief efforts responding to the March 11 earthquake and subsequent tsunami.

The campaign officially began March 14 with collection boxes around campus, including the Slutzker Center for International Services, the chemistry department and Sims Hall Room 100. All proceeds will go to the Consulate General of Japan in New York, which will

College basketball teams not on track to graduate at least half of their players should be punished and not have the opportunity to play postseason, U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan said in a press conference call Thursday. The Syracuse University men’s basketball team was cited as a team that needs to improve academic standing during the conference.

Of the 68 teams that began in the 2011 NCAA Tournament, 10 should be disqualified for the poor academic performance of players, Duncan said.

Duncan did not name all of the 10 schools in the press conference, but SU was mentioned as one of them.

“If you can’t manage to graduate half of your players, how serious is the institution and the coach and the program about their players’ academic success? Are you actually just preparing your student-athletes for success on the court, or in life?”

Duncan said in the press conference.

Institutions with an academic progress rate lower than 925, meaning 50 percent or fewer players are graduating, should be ineligible for postseason play, Duncan said. He also said he was now backing the Knight Commission’s recommendation to restructure the NCAA Tournament revenue distribution formula.

Of the teams playing the 2011 NCAA Tournament, there were 10 with multiyear APRs under the stan-

dard rate of 925 for the 2008-09 season. The current overall multiyear APR is 940. see apr page 6

What is APR?

The multiyear academic progress rate is a unit of measure for eligibility and retention of Division I student-athletes and was developed as an early indicator of eventual graduation rates. Below are the most recent APR rates for SU. Academic Year

MARCH 22, 1912 Reserve Football Squad Will Be Instituted

EDITORIAL 315 443 9798 BUSINESS 315 443 2315 GENERAL FAX 315 443 3689 ADVERTISING 315 443 9794 CLASSIFIED ADS 315 443 2869

The Athletic Governing Board recently took an advance step in forming a reserve football squad for next season. The reserve squad will take the place of the usual second and third teams.

P. D. Fogg, captain of the 1911 football team, will assume complete charge of the Reserves. They will be drilled and trained separately from the Varsity team and will have a different set of signals and plays, which will be tried out against the first team as the opportunity presents itself. Fogg is planning to visit other colleges from the purpose of securing new ideas for the furtherance of the betterment of his squad.

As the men on the Reserves become good enough, they will be advanced to the first squad.

The Reserves who play the entire season will receive a special insignia from the Board.

When the Varsity squad meets West Point in the latter part of the season the entire squad, Reserves and Varsity will make the trip.

Coach Fogg thinks the idea’s a good one.

He says that to carry out successfully the heavy schedule for next fall, an extra large squad will be needed. The fact that the Reserves team have different signals and plays will be a great aid in perfecting a defensive Varsity team and enable them to achieve a higher grade of efficiency, which is impera-

tive owing to the hard schedule arranged for next season.

The change made in the rules for this year from three to four downs has failed to give satisfaction to a large number of those who wish to minimize the part played by mere weight. Fogg says, “This change will necessitate weight on the team and it is imperative that all heavy men report for football practice next fall. However, it will not prevent the light men from coming out. If a small man is good and active he will be accepted on the first squad as soon as the man will ‘beef and brawn.’”

Capt. Probst of the football squad termed the idea an exceedingly good one. He thinks there should be a separate schedule for the Reserves team, which would encourage a great many more men to come out for football.

This is carried out at Lafayette with great success. They have about 90 men out for football every year from an enrollment in the college of 300. It has been a very successful means of producing good teams at Michigan.

Burglaries occur at 2 residences

sta ff r eport

US, allies begin to bomb Libya Allied forces continued to attack Libya on Monday in an effort to oust leader Moammar al Gadhafi, according to an article from The New York Times published Monday.

European nations battled over control of the no-fly zone while proGadhafi forces were holding off allied forces and rebel attacks on the ground, according to the article.

Gadhafi — who has been the leader since 1969 — lashed out against the Arab world’s unrest, but opponents brought together a transitional government and a rebel army, and that government portrayed itself as a substitute to Gadhafi.

The United Nations voted to approve military action and the imposition of a no-fly zone Friday. Libya said it would call an immediate ceasefire and stoppage of all military operations against rebels seeking to overthrow Gadhafi. The United States, France and Britain said the ceasefire announcement wasn’t enough.

The campaign began Saturday, led

by Britain and France. U.S. forces launched a beginning attack to take out Libya’s air defense systems, firing missiles from ships against radar, missile and communications centers around Tripoli.

On Sunday, forces amped up the attacks. Allied officials told The New York Times the mission had moved past taking away Gadhafi’s ability to use Libyan airspace to destroy his control. Rebel forces were able to regroup as allied warplanes obliterated government armored vehicles near Benghazi.

President Barack Obama said the initial stages of the campaign intended to eliminate air defenses were being carried out by American forces, who would give responsibility to their European partners to create a no-fly zone, according to The New York Times article.

David Cameron, prime minister of Britain, said responsibility for the no-fly zone would be transferred to NATO, but French Foreign Minister Alain Juppé said the Arab League doesn’t wish the operation to be completely under NATO’s responsibility, according to the article.

In a letter to Congress on Monday, Obama said the United States requested Gadhafi withdraw his forces from several cities, stop attacks against civilians and restore water, gas and electricity, according to the article.

Off-campus housing options discussed

By Sean Cotter Staff Writer

During Monday’s meeting, Student Association President Neal Casey discussed the importance of the Special Neighborhood District and the remodeling of the Schine Student Center to enhance its appeal to students.

Casey said he gave a report to Syracuse University’s Board of Trustees about SA’s work with the Special Neighborhood District on the Thursday before Spring Break.

City Councilor-at-Large Jean Kessner had proposed in February to shrink the Special Neighborhood District that consists of some of the area east of campus, where many

students live in apartments, Casey said.

Casey said his main concerns about student housing are centered on the ability of all students to get the housing they need. He said SA has no official position on this proposal because there are many different considerations to make, such as SU’s obligation to the community of permanent residents in the area. These have to be balanced with the need for student housing, Casey said.

“I was able to at least give a student perspective, which is something that was very much lacking in the discussion,” he said.

The ordinance, which was

adopted last June and is enforced in the Special Neighborhood District, requires any building being converted to a rental property to have one parking space for each potential bedroom.

The ordinance was verified by a state Supreme Court judge, according to an article published Thursday in The Post-Standard. Casey said he had no knowledge of this ruling, but his goal of including the student voice in the decisionmaking process remains the same.

“Our primary goal is to make sure that students have a voice in the whole process,” Casey said.

Casey also spoke about the see sa page 6

Two burglaries on South Campus were reported to the Department of Public Safety during Spring Break — a difference from Winter Break when no South apartments were reported burglarized.

Both burglaries were reported to DPS on March 11 and remain open.

The first burglary occurred at 211 Lambreth Lane on March 11 between 1 a.m. and 8 a.m., and the second occurred at 420 Chinook Drive on March 11 at 11:30 a.m., according to DPS daily crime logs.

The two burglaries happened at the apartments of students who remained on South Campus instead of going home, said DPS Chief Tony Callisto.

A significant number of students stay in Syracuse during Spring Break, whereas only a few students stay in Syracuse and remain living in South Campus apartments during Winter Break, he said.

Both apartments had their doors unlocked, allowing the suspect to go in and steal property, Callisto said.

“This continues to be a challenge for us to really get the word out to people to remind them to keep their doors locked,” Callisto said. “At this point, we’re still investigating. We’re unsure if this involves student-onstudent crime or if this is someone that wandered off of the city streets onto the South Campus area.”

Despite the two burglaries on South Campus during the break, Callisto said there has been a decrease in the number of incidents occurring during breaks this year.

“It appears that this is a pretty minimal amount of crime to occur over break when folks typically know that the students are away,” he said.

Although no burglaries occurred on South Campus during Winter Break, four burglaries happened on South during Thanksgiving break in November.

On Feb. 28, the Office of Residence Life sent an email to South Campus residents alerting them of three burglaries that occurred on South in the early morning hours of Feb. 27. The email reminded students to lock their apartment doors, put the dowel in the sliding door safety track and close the rear curtains before leaving for Spring Break.

Callisto said the awareness of students is critical in preventing these types of crimes from occurring. see crime page 6

community members from Japan rocked by the 9.0-magnitude earthquake and tsunami on March 11, as well as the threat of nuclear radiation that has developed over the past week. There are 58 international students from Japan on campus and countless professors, visiting researchers, alumni and other members of the SU community with family and friends in Japan.

LaClair’s family lives in Koriyama, about 38 miles from the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear plant. Although the Japanese government has warned those near the plant to evacuate, the lack of transportation and the shortage of gas have made it difficult. LaClair’s family members remain in their home, but the windows are now taped up, and they must fully cover themselves anytime they leave the house.

“It’s not safe to go outside, but there is no transportation, no gas, no water. How can they evacuate safely?” she said.

Threats of radiation now have the country worried about contamination of food, mainly fruits and vegetables. LaClair’s father owns a company that makes miso in Koriyama. Because of the proximity to the nuclear plant, stores in Tokyo will no longer buy his product.

The threat of radiation and instability at the nuclear plant have caused rationing of electricity, as well as gas shortages. Many areas of the country are experiencing planned power outages, and people cannot turn on their heat despite the cold temperatures. Gyms and other large buildings have been designated as evacuation centers.

When the earthquake and tsunami first hit, it took LaClair three days to reach her family.

She has many friends in Sendai, the area hit hardest by the tsunami, and has not been able to contact them all. In some cases, she fears not everyone she knows may be alive — her best friend’s grandparents from Sendai have been missing since the tsunami hit.

The National Police Agency said Monday the death toll in Japan stands at 8,928, and 12,664 people are listed as missing as of Monday evening, according to The Associated Press.

Police officials predict the death toll to top 18,000, according to the AP. The earthquake and tsunami have caused approximately $235 billion in damage, and the World Bank estimates it will take the country five years to rebuild, according to the AP. As Monday was the first day back in class since the disaster, LaClair said she discussed

what is happening in Japan with her students in JPS 102: “Japanese II.” Many of her students have friends in Japan, she said, and it has been hard for them to deal with what is happening. It has encouraged many of her students to focus harder on their studies and learn more about Japan, she said.

“They want to help Japan, study Japan

“It’s hard for me to understand what happened, I still wish it was a dream. I’m dreaming a bad dream.”

Kaori LaClair

Japanese instructor at SU

more, and someday when they go to Japan, they say they want to help,” LaClair said.

From friends and family, LaClair has heard horrifying stories. Her friend was shopping on the seventh floor of a mall in Tokyo when the earthquake hit. She told LaClair she screamed and grabbed onto someone next to her, thinking she was going to die. LaClair’s brother was in a meeting in Tokyo when the building next to him caught fire and blew up. He attempted to head home to Koriyama, but traffic was so bad he spent the night in his car, and it took him 28 hours to get home, she said.

“It’s hard for me to understand what happened. I still wish it was a dream. I’m dreaming a bad dream,” LaClair said.

Shoko Kato, a doctorate student in emerging entrepreneurship and enterprises, also has family near the area most under threat of radiation — her brother is a newspaper reporter in Fukushima and lives outside of the recommended area for evacuation.

Kato said she has encouraged him to send his wife and 3-year-old daughter out of the city, even though he must remain for his job. The area has water but no power. He can only communicate through email when he is at work, Kato said. Aside from shortages of water and electricity, transportation has been a major problem. The roads are destroyed through much of Japan.

Despite the disaster in Japan and the worsening nuclear situation, Kato said many of the Japanese people are focusing on the fact that they are alive and looking to help the country move forward. For Kato, she said all she can do right now is focus on her education at SU, in hopes that she can use it to help her country rebuild in the future.

The reality of going home to Japan hits much harder for some members of the SU community, such as Noriko Tomita, a visiting researcher from Tohoku University in Sendai. Tomita was scheduled to return to Japan on Tuesday, but the university buildings and much of the equipment she works with were destroyed by the earthquake and tsunami.

Tomita will remain in Syracuse to continue her research in biochemistry until at least the end of April.

“I talked with my boss in Japan, and he said to me, ‘Now you cannot do work here in Japan, so you should stay in America to continue your work,’” Tomita said.

Many students feel they cannot do much besides continue to watch the news reports and keep in contact with their families.

“I’m in America, and I know something is happening in my country, but actually I have no idea what to do with it,” said Maria Matsuura, a sophomore fashion design major.

Most of Matsuura’s family lives in western Japan, so they were not hit hard by the earthquake and are not facing as dire a nuclear threat. Her brother lives in eastern Japan, which is still experiencing aftershocks, but he does not want to leave for the west because many of his friends and colleagues are in Japan, Matsuura said. Her mother offered that he bring his friends to stay at her home, which he may take advantage of in the coming days, she said.

It’s important to understand how the crisis is affecting areas of the country in different ways, said LaClair, the Japanese instructor.

Although the news reports are generally accurate, they cannot explain the entire situation because it is hard for reporters to know everything, she said. Her family has water right now, she said, but her neighbors do not.

On the other side of things, SU alumnus Chico Harlan is reporting for The Washington Post from Japan. His job is to coordinate coverage among the different reporters around Japan.

Harlan was in Hiroshima on vacation with five visiting friends when the earthquake hit.

The group was about to board a bullet train to Kyoto when Harlan heard about the earthquake. His vacation ended there. He wrote until 1 a.m. that morning, slept for four hours and continued writing and reporting. He has continued to write articles daily since.

“It was sort of heartbreaking, ending this vacation right there on the train tracks,” Harlan said in an email. “But I had a sense even in those first few minutes that this was going to be a gigantic story that I had to live, so to speak.” kronayne@syr.edu

reacting The nuclear crisis in Japan as a result of the March 11 earthquake and tsunami that struck the country appears to be stabilizing as of Monday, said a top official at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, according to the Associated Press. Cooling systems at the Fukushima Dai-ichi plant were damaged by the earthquake, and three reactor plants have become volatile since, according to the article. Some workers were forced to evacuate the plant as the situation worsened. Officials began ejecting water into the reactor vessels in attempt to cool them, and, as of Monday, the containment of all three damaged units appears to be functional, according to the article. The crisis at the Fukushima Dai-ichi plant is the worst nuclear crisis in 25 years.

send the money directly to Japan.

The 9.0-magnitude earthquake that struck northern Japan on March 11 also caused a tsunami. There are 58 international students from Japan on campus, and countless other members of the SU community have been affected by the disaster through friends and family.

The group set up a table in the Schine Student Center on Monday from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. and from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. The group will also collect donations in Schine on Tuesday at the same times and in the Academic Village in the Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.

“We are not really sure what they need right now.”

Midori Shiroyama

Japanese Student Association vice president

The group’s goal is for each student on campus to donate $1, said Yuriko Takahashi, JSA’s secretary and a second-year doctorate student studying chemistry. One problem the group saw on the first day was that many students do not carry cash, but the group hopes the fliers will remind them to come back the next day with money.

“It’s going well, but we found the problem is that many students don’t have cash,” Takahashi said.

The group passed out more than 600 fliers to students who stopped by the table in Schine on Monday, Takahashi said.

At least one JSA member is at the table at all times, and other members are encouraged to help out at the table when they are available, said Midori Shiroyama, JSA’s vice president.

There are approximately 50 students in JSA. JSA feels collecting money is the best way to help because there are so many things the country needs. The government has a better idea of who needs money than JSA does, which is why the group is not designating it to any specific place, Shiroyama said.

“We are not really sure what they need right now,” Shiroyama said.

JSA also has cloth Japanese flags on the table for students to write messages with a Sharpie marker. Kaori LaClair, a Japanese instructor, made the flags and will send them back with a friend to relay the positive messages. Messages in both Japanese and English adorn the flag with phrases like “Stay strong Japan!” “Never give up!” and “I love Japan!”

JSA is a great source of support among students during this time, said Patricia Burak, director of the Slutzker Center.

Said Burak: “The Japanese Student Association has been phenomenal.” kronayne@syr.edu

How to donate

The Japanese Student Association has stationed collection boxes around campus, including at the Slutzker Center for International Services, the chemistry department and Sims Hall Room 100. The group will also collect donations in the Schine Student Center on Tuesday from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. and in the Academic Village in the Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.

All proceeds will go to the Consulate General of Japan in New York, which will send the money directly to Japan.

UAlbany administrators, local media unfairly target all students after St. Patrick’s Day riots While Syracuse University students spent last week on Spring Break, students at the State University of New York at Albany weathered a media storm and administrative and police crackdown after riots on their St. Patrick’s Day “Kegs and Eggs” celebration turned into destructive, drunken mayhem.

The drunken rioting resulted in Albany police arresting 40 UAlbany students after videos surfaced on YouTube of the hoards, which caused more than $6,000 worth of damage to nearby cars by smashing windows.

Rioters also cost the city $12,000 in damage to public property.

The senseless, arrogant behavior of these college students represents a disgusting display of the common disregard college students often have for the cities in which they live. But the enormous changes the UAlbany administration made — such as canceling the school’s spring celebration, called “Fountain Day,” and moving Spring

editorial by the daily orange editorial board Break up a month — unfairly affect thousands of responsible students.

The city and university showed the rioters no mercy — and rightly so. Many of the students face multiple felony charges, and the school committed to suspending any student arrested in connection with the riots, causing a number of students to drop out preemptively. The administration is still deciding whether to expel the rioters completely. The crackdown on all sides makes an example of these idiotic and immature students, who deserve to get sent back to their parents in shame.

The rioters have no excuse for their violent, criminal behavior.

But for the more than 12,000 UAlbany students who played no role in the St. Patrick’s Day fiasco, canceling a time-honored tradition and spring celebration unfairly punishes an

entire student body for the egregious behavior of a few dozen. Failure to speak with the Student Association or listen to the students’ opinions reveal the administration’s priority to appease the community, while disregarding the input of its own students.

Likewise, the local media coverage has all but demonized the UAlbany student body and has far from addressed the students’ concerns, frustration and opinions about the riots and the administrative changes.

As a student media organization, we know all too well the constant strain among city, administration and offcampus students that typifies most university neighborhoods. The views of these three groups are rarely in line, but they deserve equal attention.

To view the students’ opinion as secondary shows them an irresponsible disrespect similar to that of students and reinforces their understanding that students are outside of the community and its social norms.

Goals of war in Libya remain murky in spite of Obama’s push for multilateralism

supreme emphasis on multilateralism, a deliberate movement through international institutions and a limited war with murky aims — this is the Obama Doctrine.

Several weeks into Moammar al Gadhafi’s slaughter of thousands of his own people, President Barack Obama’s willingness to employ military might has come into focus. The United States is playing a supporting role in Operation Odyssey Dawn — led by Britain and France, endorsed by the United Nations and welcomed

by Libya’s rebels.

Throughout the past several weeks, the president has felt pressure from both sides of the political spectrum. Hawkish Republicans teamed up with liberal Democrats fixated on human rights, urging Obama to take decisive action.

Hesitant to spearhead a third major military operation and opposed to sending ground forces to Libya, Obama authorized American

airstrikes against Gadhafi’s forces on Saturday — his first military action aside from inherited wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Obama’s management of the Libyan crisis presents a stark contrast to President George W. Bush, who was prone to unilateral action — be it initiating the Iraq War, rejecting the Kyoto Protocol or withdrawing from an antiballistic missile treaty with Russia.

Throughout the 2008 campaign and even into the early stages of his administration, Obama perfected the art of anti-Bush. Harshly criticizing his predecessor for recklessly starting wars without sufficient international support, Obama promised a radically different approach.

And he has followed through. But merely assembling a broad coalition of support should not be seen as an assurance of military success or moral righteousness.

He is more than willing to follow the French into war.

Although Obama failed to consult his own legislative branch before moving ahead with the airstrikes, his administration was certain to pursue the appropriate channels within the United Nations. Unsurprisingly, this has not gone over well with lawmakers on both sides of the aisle in Congress who question the legality of being passed over in favor of an international body.

Putting aside constitutional and legal concerns, there are several prac-

tical problems with this approach. If Obama’s foreign policy objective was to infuse coldhearted realism in place of Bush’s naïve idealism about freedom and democracy, the respectable choice could have been made to avoid any sort of intervention in Libya — a country without much effect on the United States. But it makes no sense to twiddle your thumbs for weeks, allow the Libyan death count to skyrocket and wait for the international community to take the lead before finally engaging in an act of war.

This offers the worst elements of both intervention and isolation.

The aims of this war are questionable at best. Clear objectives and benchmarks for success are absent.

Sound familiar? Obama’s confusing public statements have waffled back and forth, sometimes urging Gadhafi to step down and other times signaling he may be able to retain control.

If the fighting is protracted, what is the appropriate response? What hap-

pens if the “broad coalition of allies” fails to accomplish its goals? Will Obama be able to refrain from unilaterally escalating American involvement?

This is hardly an exhaustive list of the problems with such a multilateral excursion in North Africa.

It would be foolish to argue against the benefits of an international consensus. But the multilateral obsession certainly has its drawbacks.

And there is rich irony in leftist desperation for support from the likes of China and Russia when it comes to removing a dictator.

Now that Obama is entering his third year in office, the Obama Doctrine is beginning to crystallize. A pacifist, he is not — we’ve known that since the troop surge in Afghanistan.

Obama is a committed multilateralist, and this may actually be worse.

At 825, the University of Alabama at Birmingham has the lowest of teams in the NCAA Tournament. The University of Southern California and Kansas State University completed the highest of the 10 with multiyear APRs of 924. With a multiyear APR of 912, SU is sixth on the list.

Kevin Quinn, vice president for public affairs at SU, said in a statement SU has always exceeded the APR standard throughout the basketball program’s history. The administration has not seen Duncan’s full proposal, Quinn said in the statement.

“This past year was an anomaly, as we were affected by several student-athletes leaving early to pursue professional careers. We will exceed the APR standard when the next report is issued,” Quinn said in the statement.

When Jonny Flynn, Paul Harris and Eric Devendorf left mid-semester during the 200809 season, the team’s APR was affected, Quinn said in an email. He said the program will exceed a 925 APR when the latest numbers are released in the spring, but he did not have specifics on what the program was doing to ensure the rise.

SU head coach Jim Boeheim said the loss of the student-athletes, which resulted in the team losing two scholarships for the 2009-10 year, would be “difficult to overcome” in a June 10 article in The Daily Orange.

Boeheim said SU will have an APR of 926 when the next report comes out, according to an article published Friday in USA Today. He said Duncan’s proposal was “completely nuts.”

Pete Moore, spokesman for the team, said Boeheim declined to further comment on what was said in USA Today.

But discussion on changing the way APR affects teams is nothing new.

Last year, Duncan proposed teams should be barred from postseason play if they are not on track to graduate 40 percent of their players, he said in Thursday’s conference. The Knight Commission first proposed prohibiting teams with poor graduating rates from playing in the NCAA Tournament in 2001. Now Duncan is backing the idea that the NCAA should take into account academic and athletic standings.

Institutions are “making millions of dollars on their players’ backs,” Duncan said in the press conference. Almost half of the money awarded to teams making appearances in the 2011 NCAA Tournament, $179 million, went to teams where less than half of the players were on track to graduate, Duncan said. For each game played in the 2011 NCAA Tournament, a team earns more than $1.4 million for its conference.

Duncan said he believes institutions would begin to reform if the NCAA took a stand on the issue of academics.

This year’s report on APRs also showed white student-athletes were graduating at a rate of 91 percent and black student-athletes at a rate of 59 percent.

There are institutions that do graduate all of their black players because coaches make sure their players are prepared, said Ben Jealous, president and CEO of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, in the press conference. He said the NAACP will send a representative to each school that does not meet APR standards in the next few weeks to discuss fixing the problem.

SU’s only senior on the team this year, forward Rick Jackson, said college is “a work in progress.” Earning a degree is important, and players on the team are trying, Jackson said.

“But we came here to play basketball,” Jackson said. “They shouldn’t take basketball away from you because you couldn’t graduate.” bplogiur@syr.edu dkmcbrid@syr.edu

Similar to Winter Break, DPS increased patrols on South Campus and regularly checked buildings to make sure doors were locked during Spring Break, Callisto said.

On March 9 before the break, DPS officers and ORL officials talked to South Campus residents and gave them pamphlets to remind them to lock their doors and pull the curtains shut before departing for the break, according to an article published in The Daily Orange on March 10.

Callisto said students typically report crime on the Monday they return from break. Students had reported no further crime to DPS as of 4:50 p.m. Monday, he said in an email.

DPS typically sees an increase in offenses — whether they are crime or minor violations — once students return to campus following Spring Break, he said.

Said Callisto: “There’s better weather, there’s more outside activity, there’s more opportunities to be away from apartments, and certainly we’re going to find that there may be some level of increase in crime.”

Here’s a breakdown of other crime that occurred during Spring Break: · A strong-arm robbery occurred at 912 Lancaster Ave. on March 13 between 8:15 p.m. and 8:20 p.m., according to DPS crime logs. It hap-

opportunity SU has to make Schine a more popular area for students now that there is the possibility of the bookstore moving to a new building on University Avenue. Casey described SU as “decentralized.”

At other universities, Casey said, student centers are often bustling with student activity at all hours of the day and night. This is not the case in Schine, he said.

“What you find in ours is that it’s pretty much dead by six o’clock,” Casey said.

He said the goal should be to make Schine’s environment more welcoming for students whether or not the bookstore moves out of Schine. He said changes could be made to the physical layout and to the aesthetics of the place to try to make it more appealing to students.

Several elections also took place during Monday’s meeting.

Tse moved to Cambodia in 1994 to train groups of public defenders, including judges and prosecutors, and later worked as a U.N. judicial mentor, according to Tse’s biography on the University Lecture website. She then established the first arraignment court in Cambodia.

In 2000, Tse founded IBJ to “promote systemic global change in the administration of criminal justice,” according to the website.

Under Tse, IBJ has extended its reach to many countries, including Rwanda, Zimbabwe and Burundi, according to the website. Last year, IBJ created the Justice Training Center in Singapore.

Launch of iPad 2 sees high first-weekend sales

s the newest version of the iPad hits the shelves, its high demand may come with a price.

The iPad 2 went on sale March 11 in the United States at Apple stores, and AT&T and Verizon Wireless outlets, as well as Target, Wal-Mart and Best Buy stores. Estimates placed first-weekend sales at as much as $1 million, according to a March 14 article in The Business Journal.

But as available supplies were purchased quickly, it soon became difficult to find an iPad 2. The iPad shortage is making other wireless tablets more competitive with Apple’s new launch, said Earnest Hart, columnist and online assistant managing editor of The Clarion-Ledger, in a March 19 online article.

A few days after Apple launched iPad 2, Motorola Mobility released a Wi-Fi-equipped Xoom for $599, which puts it in the same price range and in competition with the iPad 2. The iPad 2 shortage is an opportunity for the Xoom, which will be available at

Tse represents a positive image SU students should care about, said Gray, the senior administrator for academic affairs. When Ishmael Beah, author of “A Long Way Gone,” visited SU a couple of years ago, he said a piece of everyone is lost when anyone is harmed or killed because of violence or the loss of human rights, Gray said.

“Ms. Tse must believe the same thing,” she said.

a reduced price Sunday, Hart said in the article for The Clarion-Ledger.

“Judging and comparing the iPad is subjective,” said Chris Aliberto, director of computing services at the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications. “It’s definitely fancy and high-tech, but customer feedback is the way evaluation works in business.”

The latest version of the iPad is thinner, lighter and more powerful than the previous one, according to the Apple website. The new features include a dual-core processor that makes Internet browsing faster and dual cameras in the front and back for applications like FaceTime and PhotoBooth.

Available in both white and black, the new version is thinner compared to the original iPad and is even slimmer than the iPhone 4.

The price ranges from $499 to $829, the same as the original model, according to the website.

On March 11, the Apple store at Carousel Center in Syracuse closed at 4 p.m. for an hour to prepare for the

sale of the iPad 2. At least 100 people had lined up to purchase the new iPad by 2:30 p.m., said Rob Schoeneck, general manager of Carousel Center in an interview with The Post-Standard on March 11. Customers could only buy two iPads each, which were sold for $499 apiece.

Reports about the progressing illness of Apple’s founder and CEO Steve Jobs have also fueled speculations about the company’s future. Jobs, 56, is suffering from pancreatic cancer.

Brett Walsdorf, a junior economics major, said he thinks the iPad 2 may have been released early to boost consumer confidence because everyone was worried about Jobs’ health.

As much as technology companies try to compete with new releases and inventions, some students are indifferent to keeping up with new products.

Brianne Manley, a sophomore social work major said she doesn’t know a lot about the iPad 2 or Apple’s newest products.

She said: “I have a Mac, so I really don’t think I need an iPad.” kvdolins@syr.edu

fter delayed flights, cramped bus rides and an early morning nap on the baggage carousel at the Newark Liberty International Airport, I was concerned my Spring Break trip to England might never happen. Nothing was right: mechanical problems left us stranded in the cold basement of the airport. And at that point, most of us were strangers, awkwardly trying to get to know each other. We soon started bonding over our plight. We finally fell asleep on the only carpeted surface we could find — the top of the baggage carousel. It was a long night.

Although we ended up arriving a day late and endured 20 chaotic hours of travel, we landed in London and reality set in — we made it! In our class “Jane Austen in Context — Hers and Ours,” we read many of Austen’s novels, but needed to immerse ourselves in her world. We visited her former home in Bath, her grave in Winchester Cathedral and the impeccably preserved 18th century town of Lacock.

UK rapper to open for Kid Cudi

By Amrita Mainthia ASST. FEATURE EDITOR

English rapper and songwriter Tinie Tempah will open for Kid Cudi, Nas and Damian Marley at Block Party on April 29, University Union officials announced Monday. The annual spring concert will be held in Syracuse University’s Carrier Dome at 7 p.m.

“Tinie Tempah is an emerging artist and will give a high-energy performance,” said Harry Roberts, director of UU concerts. “He’s huge overseas and is definitely making his push in the U.S.” Tempah earned two Brit Music Awards this year: the Best Breakout Artist award and the Best Single award for the song “Pass Out.” His second single, “Written in the Starts,” reached No. 1 in the United Kingdom and is currently rising on American music charts, Roberts said. As of Monday, the song reached No. 27 on the iTunes music chart. Tempah performed at South by Southwest last weekend and will play at popular music festivals Ultra and the Coachella Valley Music Festival.

Tickets for Block Party are on sale for $15 at the Carrier Dome Box Office and the Schine Box Office with a valid SU and State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry ID. Tickets for the general public are also available at the Carrier Dome Box Office and through Ticketmaster for $25. Online presale tickets must be picked up from the Carrier Dome Box Office on April 13 between 7:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. or on April 14 and 15 between 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m.

Roberts encourages students to buy tickets as soon as possible, as just a fraction of them remain. Tickets were available exclusively for students on the Ticketmaster website earlier this month. During the first week of the online presale, 8,848 tickets were sold, he said, and sales have broken last year’s Block Party ticket records.

“Ticket sales have far exceeded expectations,” Roberts said. “We sold more tickets in the first eight days than Drake did total.”

Tempah crosses over many genres, including electronic and hip-hop, Roberts said. Given his increasing popularity, he’ll be more familiar to students as opposed to last year’s opener, K-Os, who was lesser known, he said.

“People will be really curious to see what he’s about, and he appeals to a lot of different music tastes,” Roberts said. “By the time our show comes around, he’ll be well recognized all over.” mainthia@syr.edu

Twitter: it’s your birthday and here’s why you should celebrate

esterday marked the fifth birthday of the most popular kid around; Twitter. Twitter has changed the game of innovation in social media and given us precious gifts such as the Fail Whale and the Charlie Sheen parody account.

For those of you unfamiliar with the social media tool, here’s a quick rundown. Created by co-founders Jack Dorsey, Evan Williams and Biz Stone in San Francisco, the site was officially born when Dorsey birthed the first tweet on March 21 2006, stating “Just setting up my twttr.”

Anyone who signs up can post their own blips of ingenuity, as long as it’s under the 140 character limit. They can “follow” subscribers whose tweets are interesting or entertaining, and effectively create a Twitter community for themselves.

Many users, lovingly referred to as “tweeps” (a gross hermaphrodite borne of “peep” and “tweet”) create the content for Twitter and handselect the content they’re fed.

While this little tyke has garnered almost 200 million users have proudly become tweeps, many members of the technologically fluent generations have neglected to hop on the bandwagon.

A resounding complaint I’ve heard from twitter-phobes is “I don’t get it.” After some prodding, the confounding factor is usually the sheer constraints of tweets. A friend of mine said “what could I possibly want to read in 140 characters.”

Well, everything.

Twitter’s creators added a twist to the art of syntax and word choice by invoking that character limit. Periods and proper grammar have been all but eradicated (ETS majors – fear not, you can still use overly verbose, convoluted sentences stymied with semicolons in other walks of communication) resulting in verbal mush.

Tweeting is an art of cunning; wit in 140 character snippets is difficult to achieve, which makes the rare few out there nothing short of pure gold.

JESSICA SMITH

our ram is bigger than yours It has also become an art of mutilation. While waiting in a train station recently I overheard one fellow commuter complain to his friend “thanks to Twitter my daughter’s vocab has been restricted to one syllable words.”

I’ve concluded Twitter will yield a race of witty yet verbally stunted social media tweeps.

With the number of tweets sent daily quickly approaching 2,000,000, the character limit has proven to be a blessing. This restriction allows news and information to flow like never before.

Eyewitnesses can share first hand accounts of events unfolding up to the minute; friends can post pictures of places and experiences; celebrities can raise awareness for a host of causes. And all of this information can be digested and further explored at the gym, walking across Manhattan, or dare I say it, in class.

Twitter and its enforced brevity has mutilated prior perceptions of information-sharing practices and effectively created a super highway of information surrounded by dirt roads.

And so I say today we celebrate the 5 years and 1 day of Twitter’s short life that has resulted in tweeps, tweets, an excuse to type like you text, and a new challenge to the practice of wit.

Jessica Smith is an information management and technology and television, radio and film major who frequently tweets in class. If you have something to say that’s less than 140 characters, feel free to tweet her @j_lynn_smith. Otherwise do the old fashioned thing and e-mail her at jlsmit22@syr.edu

Offbeat T

By Erik van Rheenan Staff Writer

ravis Barker is one of a select handful of elite drummers who needs no introduction. The heavily tattooed force behind the drums of pop-punk juggernaut Blink-182, Barker made a name for himself by remixing hip-hop tracks with his own furious drum beats while Blink-182 took a break from writing new material.

Maybe Barker fell out of the loop when his bandmates focused on their own side projects during the band’s hiatus, but the notorious drummer finally decided to prove his furious dexterity on the kit by releasing a solo project of his own, “Give the Drummer Some.”

A departure from Barker’s pop-punk leanings, “Give the Drummer Some” has a heavy-handed hip-hop mentality, featuring an all-star ensemble of rap’s biggest names spitting game on the album.

“Give the Drummer Some” opens with the nearly eponymous “Can a Drummer Get Some?” with the vocals handled by the star-studded cast of Lil Wayne, Swizz Beats, Rick Ross and The Game. Barker’s beats are inventive and imaginative, but they play second fiddle to the rhymes laid down by his so-called guest stars.

And there lies the rub with the album.

Like Rebecca Black and her awkwardly dancing friends from “Friday,” Barker’s blistering drumming kicks it in the backseat as the hip-hop vocal-

Rap, metal artists overpower Travis Barker’s personal side project, ‘Give the Drummer Some’ ists pile into the driver’s seat of the album. Barker had creative control over the album, but it plays out like a collection of unreleased tracks from some of rap’s most notable wordsmiths rather than a defining opus of his own talents.

“Carry It” jams with some nifty drum fills, but even Barker’s most creative playing is overshadowed

by Raekwon’s smooth verses and Tom Morello of Rage Against the Machine wheedling away on guitar riff after guitar riff. “Knocking” opens with a furiously paced drum solo, but it drifts into a lazily written dance song with Ludacris and Snoop Dogg rapping dull lyrics and hackneyed pop culture references.

Barker falls into the same formulaic trap on each and every track, stumbling into more pratfalls than Wile E. Coyote. Songs like “Jump Down” and “Cool Head” kick off with slick drumming, but they eventually pass the spotlight like a torch to the likes of mainstream rap acts The Cool Kids and Kid Cudi, respectively. The rappers on the album steal the show from Barker, especially the riotous flows of Yelawolf, Lil Jon and Busta Rhymes on “Let’s Go” and the aforementioned “Carry It.”

Each rapper brings his own unique flavor to the tracks, giving the album a distinctly eclectic feel. Kid Cudi adds his signature relaxed vibe to “Cool Head,” a slower-paced jam that showcases Cudi’s laid-back vocal delivery. “Let’s Go,” a track seemingly tailored for stardom as a single, sends the listener into recoil with a blast of high-octane energy and emphatic rhymes. Even “If U Want To” seems destined to hit the airwaves with a sing-song, synthesizer-laced performance by Lupe Fiasco that wouldn’t sound out of place on his latest effort, “Lasers.”

What doesn’t work so well for Barker is when he casually mixes tracks that recall his hardcore roots into a predominantly rap-oriented album. “Saturday Night” is a bouncy punk tune with Latino-tinged guitar licks, courtesy of Slash. “On My Own” shows off Barker’s chops on an angry hard rock song with Corey Taylor of metal band Slipknot. The two songs are highlights on the album, but they stand out like a sore thumb from the rap tracks and fail to give the entire 12-track effort a cohesive feel.

Although Barker’s name is plastered on the album cover, the album is more of a Justice League of rappers than a drum-centric release. Most of the mainstream hip-hop heavyweights Barker recruited for “Give the Drummer Some” are showcased at the top of their game, but the album loses its focus.

Even though Barker implores his listeners to give the drummer some respect, it’s hard to give him much at all when he can’t take center stage among a varied collection of all-star vocalists and guitarists. ervanrhe@syr.edu

HIGH RISE Keogh’s goal in top corner beats JHU in double overtime

By Zach Brown Staff Writer

W

ith just more than three minutes left in Syracuse’s game Saturday, the box score showed no reason for the Orange defense to be frustrated.

Johns Hopkins had scored four goals on 21 shots. SU caused 18 turnovers and killed off all syracuse 5 three of its man-down situwith relative ease.

JOHNs HOPKINS 4 ations Defenders Brian Megill and John Lade had just forced the Blue Jays to take their final timeout of the game after nearly getting another steal.

But by that time, even with all that success, SU’s defense was irritated.

As both teams jogged to their sidelines for the timeout, Megill’s emotions boiled over. The sophomore lifted his stick above his head and tomahawked it into the Carrier Dome turf.

“It gets kind of frustrating after a while,” Megill said.

He was frustrated because not getting that

turnover meant the Blue Jays would get to play another game of keep-away. They did it for minutes at a time on most of their possessions.

Even though Syracuse would eventually find a way to pull out a 5-4 win over Johns Hopkins in double overtime, JHU imposed its preferred style of play throughout the game. And that style of standstill, stalling lacrosse got to the Orange defense and nearly allowed the Blue Jays to steal a win.

“Holding onto the ball at the end for almost five minutes, it kind of makes us a little frustrated,” Megill said. “We were able to keep our composure. … And when it came down to it, we made the plays we needed to make.”

Hopkins’ game plan became clear on its first possession of the game. Already down 1-0 after SU scored just over one minute into the action, the Blue Jays won the ensuing faceoff and held the ball in the offensive zone. With little movement off the ball and no intent of a move toward goal by the ball carrier, JHU drew a stall warning. It was the first of many throughout the night.

Megill eventually intercepted a pass to end that first possession without any semblance of a threat from the Blue Jays. Hopkins wouldn’t register a shot until more than five minutes in, despite having possession for about half that time.

“We played the way we needed to play it with this young team,” JHU head coach Dave Pietramala said. “We’ve played them differently, and we’ve beaten them differently. With a different team next year and them having the young team and us having a veteran team, maybe we play them differently then.”

Other teams have tried to play this type of game against Syracuse this year, hoping to slow down the Orange’s high-powered attack. But none of them have had the success Hopkins had Saturday.

In the second quarter, the strategy worked to near perfection. Syracuse took just two shots in the entire period. JHU faceoff specialist Matt Dolente won all four faceoffs in those 15 minutes, allowing the Blue Jays to keep the ball for what seemed like an indefinite period of time.

After taking a 3-1 lead, Hopkins won the faceoff and held onto the ball for the next three minutes.

Saturday, March 26, 7 p.m.

before halftime, SU still hadn’t even taken its first shot of the period.

“I think Hopkins had a good game plan for them coming in,” Syracuse head coach John Desko said. “I thought they were well coached and did a real nice job of getting the kids to understand to be patient at the offensive end.”

And although SU’s defense did shut down most of the rare advances JHU tried to make, the strategy still frustrated the Orange. Megill said senior goaltender John Galloway resorted to yelling at the Blue Jays to take shots, something he has done throughout his career when teams try to stall.

Hopkins rarely obliged. The Blue Jays took just two shots in the fourth quarter. Their last possession — the one during which Megill slammed his stick into the ground — lasted more than two minutes without the slightest move toward goal.

And though it bothered Galloway, Megill and the rest of the Orange defense, Pietramala said he would not apologize for playing that style, especially because it nearly led to a win.

“We played the way we needed to play,” he said.

“The only thing wrong with today is we came up on the shorter end.”

Blue Jays’ offensive stalling frustrates Syracuse defense

By Zach Brown Staff Writer

As Stephen Keogh caught a pass from Jeremy Thompson moments into the second overtime, Matt Lerman’s words flashed through his head.

Syracuse’s backup goaltender had given the Orange attack some advice earlier in the game.

Seeing that Johns Hopkins goalie Pierce Bassett made some incredible saves on low shots throughout the match, Lerman told the SU offense to shoot high for a change.

And when Keogh got his chance in double overtime, that’s exactly what he did.

“I kind of just fired it blindly,” Keogh said.

“But I was aiming for that area.”

Keogh’s shot, 15 seconds into the second overtime, sailed straight into the top corner of the goal to give No. 1 Syracuse (6-0) a 5-4 win over No. 13 Johns Hopkins (5-2) Saturday in front of 8,241 in the Carrier Dome. The Blue Jays turned the game into a defensive slugfest, and SU couldn’t find a way to score for most of the game. Johns Hopkins held the ball for long, drawn-out possessions and dominated the faceoff X to control the pace of the game.

It was the first time since a 1982 win over Rutgers that the Orange won a game despite scoring only five goals.

“I think they wanted to come in and play a certain tempo in the Carrier Dome,” Syracuse head coach John Desko said.

Keogh’s heroics came off a rare faceoff win

“We talked all week about avoiding giving Syracuse faceoff transition. They generate a lot of shots and goals, especially when (Thompson) is out there off the faceoff.”

Matt Dolente

JHU faceoff specialist

for the Orange on Saturday.

Thompson, a senior, popped the ball up in the air, and long-stick midfielder Joel White caught it off one bounce. Two Blue Jays came to him, so he passed it up to Thompson in the offensive zone. Two more defenders came at Thompson, and he dished it to Keogh on his left.

The senior attack then wound up and fired from eight yards out. The momentum from Keogh’s shot carried him to the Dome turf as the ball connected with the top corner of the net.

And for the second time in three games, his Syracuse teammates stormed out to pile on the senior attack in celebration.

“We talked all week about avoiding giving Syracuse faceoff transition,” JHU faceoff specialist Matt Dolente said. “They generate a lot of shots and goals, especially when (Thompson) is

out there off the faceoff.”

But prior to that goal, the Blue Jays shut down SU’s transition game and controlled the pace of play. Dolente went 6-of-7 at the faceoff X in the first half for JHU. The referees constantly implemented stall warnings during long Blue Jay possessions that lasted minutes at a time.

And when SU did get the ball early, it couldn’t capitalize. The Orange went into the half with more turnovers (7) than shots on goal (4) and trailed 3-2 at the break.

“One thing I won’t do is apologize for the way we played,” Blue Jays head coach Dave Pietramala said. “We did what we needed to do tonight to put our team in position to win.”

Though Syracuse’s offense improved in the second half, Bassett was phenomenal in goal.

He made 14 of his 16 saves after halftime.

Whether the shots were high or low, he adjusted to keep them out of and away from the cage.

“The defense was giving me some pretty nice low angle shots from outside,” Bassett said.

“They were sticking (Syracuse’s) hands, so we

can pressure the ball, which really helps.”

Keogh finally pulled Syracuse even with 1:40 left in regulation, but he almost didn’t get the chance for his game-winner.

After Orange midfielder Jovan Miller lost the ball with about 20 seconds left in the first overtime, Hopkins senior Kyle Wharton took possession on the right side of the Syracuse goal. He dove toward the crease with four seconds left and sent the ball over Galloway into the net.

The Blue Jays stormed the field, but the referees waved off the goal, saying Wharton stepped in the crease before he scored.

“I was going to try to plead as long as I could to the referee that he jumped in the crease,” Miller said. “Luckily, they called the proper call for us.”

Shortly after, Keogh beat Bassett for the third time to give SU the win.

“They played a great game all together,” Keogh said. “It’s a good win. We’ll take it.” zjbrown@syr.edu

Hemingway leads SU to win with strong inside presence

By Mark Cooper Asst. Sports Editor

After 14 minutes went by in the first half, Syracuse’s play wasn’t getting any cleaner. Eight turnovers in 14 minutes defined an anemic offensive attack, as SU struggled to gain any separation from a St. Bonaventure team struggling just as much on syracuse 63 its end.

St. bonaventure 50 But in a choppy, scrappy game in which neither team was making a move, Iasia Hemingway took over. And as Bonnies head coach Jim Crowley said, Syracuse’s junior guard “was the difference.”

“We just really had no consistent answer for her,” Crowley said. “Through her effort and through her ability to get to the foul line and win loose balls.”

st. bonaventure head coach

first half — nine points, 12 rebounds — helped Syracuse turn a four-point lead with less than six minutes to play into a 12-point halftime advantage in the second round of the Women’s National Invitational Tournament.

She played with the tenacity she has shown all season for the Orange, and SU relayed that into a 63-50 win over St. Bonaventure on Monday in front of 240 in the Carrier Dome. Hemingway was the star, scoring a team-high 14 points and pulling down a career-high 17 rebounds, as the Orange (24-9) never led by less than seven in the second half.

The Orange advances to the third round of the tournament, where it will play Eastern Michigan on Thursday at 7 p.m. in the Dome.

“Fourteen and 17, that’s a monster game,” SU head coach Quentin Hillsman said. “She’s the reason why we won the game tonight.”

Hemingway ignited a stagnant SU offense first by passing, finding guard Tasha Harris open in the left corner for a 3 that gave the Orange its first lead of the game, 15-14. From

there, she went to work on the boards.

At the first media timeout, the Bonnies (21-12) grabbed three offensive rebounds and were outrebounding SU 7-6. But by halftime, the Orange held a plus-11 rebounding margin, mainly due to Hemingway’s career night on the glass.

“I was actually surprised about how many rebounds I had,” Hemingway said. “They told me at the end of the game, and I was like, ‘Oh, wow.’ I didn’t even notice.”

After Kayla Alexander missed a layup from the left block, Hemingway swooped in to grab the board and got fouled on the putback, making one of two free throws.

Then, off a Carmen Tyson-Thomas missed 3-pointer, Hemingway came in from the far side uncontested to grab the rebound. She was fouled on her putback attempt again and sunk both free throws this time.

For the last 15:04 of the first half, from the first media timeout on, Hemingway outrebounded St. Bonaventure by herself, 9-8.

Crowley said he could see Hemingway’s constant will and effort while watching film of Syracuse leading up to the game.

“The word I used when we were watching film was relentless,” Crowley said. “And she was great to watch, other than the fact we knew we were going to play her. She just has an incredible tenacity and a really good reaction to the basketball.”

Hemingway’s 14 points were especially key on a night when Alexander, Syracuse’s leading scorer, struggled. She never really got in a rhythm on offense, finishing with 12 points and getting to the line just once for two attempts.

Hemingway got to the line for eight attempts, making six. But after being held in check for parts of the second half, she imposed her will on the Bonnies when they started creeping close.

After St. Bonaventure went on a 6-0 run to close within 10 at 43-33, SU went to work on the offensive boards once again. Shakeya Leary rebounded a Tyson-Thomas miss, but her putback wouldn’t go.

It bounced off the rim over to the left block, where Hemingway was in perfect position, boxing out a St. Bonaventure player. Her 15th rebound led to a much-needed SU bucket, ending a two and a half minute scoring drought.

“I thought we did a great job rebounding the basketball,” Hillsman said. “And Iasia was huge for us. Kayla didn’t have the kind of game that she normally has percentage-wise, but I thought our size kind of wore them down, getting on the glass, offensive rebounds kind of put the game away.” mcooperj@syr.edu

Morrow returns to court, overcomes bulky knee brace in win

By Zach Brown Staff Writer

Erica Morrow’s first in-game touch in 16 days did not go as planned.

After Syracuse won the opening tip, the senior guard took the ball slowly up the court.

As she neared the 3-point line on the right wing with little pressure from St. Bonaventure, she dribbled the ball off the side of her foot. It bounced up in the air past her outstretched hand and flew out of bounds.

One possession. One touch. One turnover.

The bulky brace on Morrow’s sprained right knee may not have directly caused that mistake, but it served as a nagging reminder of the injury throughout the Orange’s 63-50 win over St. Bonaventure in the Carrier Dome. The senior did not play Thursday in SU’s first round Women’s National Invitational Tournament win over Monmouth. She was a game-time decision Monday, and although Morrow did score nine points and dish out four assists, the brace clearly affected her throughout the game.

“It’s a little different,” Morrow said. “I’ve never had to play with one before. It just slides up and down and that’s all the Velcro loops aren’t tightened. … It’s just something that takes getting used to.”

Morrow was a step slower than normal against St. Bonaventure but didn’t let the brace negatively affect her performance. Her nine points came on two full-court run-outs, a wideopen 3 and two free throws.

And for a team like the Orange that relies heavily on its interior scoring, it didn’t need a

huge game from its senior guard.

“It’s perfect within the flow of our offense how I feel,” Morrow said. “I’m just going to continue to get treatment and just keep rehabbing it.”

Other than that turnover on the first posses-

“It was huge, and I give her a lot of credit with her toughness. Because she could just say, ‘I’m done.’

sion of the game, she only coughed the ball up once more throughout the day.

“For her to not actually go live until a couple days ago,” head coach Quentin Hillsman said.

“And play 29 minutes and go live and do things that she didn’t do before tonight was really big for us. I thought just getting our (starting) five back together on the floor was huge.”

In the win over Monmouth, freshman Rachel Coffey started at point guard and played 22 minutes against the Hawks. When she sat in that game, Tasha Harris and Elashier Hall, SU’s shooting guard and small forward, respectively, rotated at the point.

Coffey did not play Monday, and both Harris and Hall saw significantly less time at point guard.

“It’s an adjustment,” Hall said. “Never done it on this level. It’s definitely an adjustment to make. I’m going to keep working on it, of course, in practice against my teammates. But just to get out there and play against other defenders and other teams, it was different.”

Hall said she was happy to have Morrow back on the court. And although the brace did not lead to many mistakes by the senior, it did bother her throughout the game.

At one point in the first half, referees had to stop play so she could adjust the brace before an inbounds play. She continued to fidget with it throughout the first half as it slid off her knee and down her leg.

On her first bucket of the game, two Bonnies nearly caught Morrow from behind on a breakaway layup. As she neared the left side of the rim, she jumped off of both feet instead of going off her right leg but still did lay it in off the glass.

Coming out of halftime, she took just one layup off her left leg before the rest of the team ran out of the tunnel. After that, she just jogged

Triche sits out with bruised tailbone after collision, fall

By Andrew L. John and Brett LoGiurato The Daily Orange

CLEVELAND — Nothing made the pain in Brandon Triche’s bruised tailbone go away. At one point, he stood up on the bench while play continued and tried to stretch. At another, during a timeout, Syracuse trainer Brad Pike worked with him on the floor of the Quicken Loans Arena court.

But nothing worked. Triche’s harsh grimace remained throughout the second half.

And as a result, Triche never had an opportunity to see if he could have made a difference Sunday in the Orange’s 66-62 loss to Marquette in the third round of the NCAA Tournament.

“It sucks to watch your team when you believe that you can help,” Triche said in the SU locker room after the game. “You never want to watch your team — the guys you’ve been with for six months now — lose.”

His body tightened up after landing hard on his backside and bruising his tailbone earlier in the second half during a collision with the Golden Eagles’ Junior Cadougan underneath the basket. The discomfort intensified, and he wasn’t sure what, if anything, he’d be able to do out on the court.

And to add insult to injury, a referee called an offensive foul on Triche. The call made Triche, grimacing on the ground, throw up his arms in disbelief.

“The charge being called on me almost hurt more than the actual fall at the time,” Triche said.

So Syracuse’s starting two-guard found himself in an unfamiliar spot — helplessly watching the most critical stretch of SU’s season.

Triche suggested he stayed on the bench partially because of the play of freshman teammate Dion Waiters, who put together his best performance of his freshman season in extended minutes. With Triche on the bench,

satisfied,” SU’s lone senior Rick Jackson said.

“So for us to take a step back, I’m not satisfied with that.”

For Jackson and his teammates, it wasn’t supposed to happen like this. Not when Syracuse entered the game having won seven of eight.

But like last year, in an unexpected loss to Butler in the Sweet 16, the turnovers proved costly. For all of Syracuse’s 18 turnovers, it was the final one — the backcourt violation — that abruptly ended its season.

“It was just miscommunication,” Syracuse head coach Jim Boeheim said. “We were looking for Kris (Joseph) first, and he was covered. Scoop was coming back, and I think he just needed to wait a second for him to get clear.

“It’s not one guy. It’s one play.”

After Johnson-Odom’s shot put Marquette ahead 62-59, Jardine had a chance to answer with a 3 of his own on the ensuing possession.

But his potential game-tying running jumper from the top of the key bounced hard off the backboard and rim, and the Golden Eagles

Waiters took over his scoring role.

Waiters meticulously took his man off the dribble and got into the lane seemingly any time he wanted it. There wasn’t much Marquette’s small defenders could do to stop him from scoring a team-high 18 points — 15 in the second half alone.

On one possession, Waiters called for the ball. Once he got it, he drove past his man and challenged Chris Otule, who was stationed underneath the basket. He pulled up enough to avoid an offensive foul and laid the ball in off the glass to put SU up 48-47.

“He hit some tough shots for us,” SU point guard Scoop Jardine said of Waiters. “Every shot he made today, we needed it. We needed every single basket.”

But before leaving the game with the injury, Triche was SU’s most effective scorer.

Triche came out aggressive and found his shot early against the Golden Eagles. He scored eight points during the first five minutes of the game and helped the Orange build an early lead.

But with Waiters playing so well late and Triche still visibly in pain on the bench, SU head coach Jim Boeheim opted to go with Waiters down the stretch.

“Brandon took such a hard fall, you know, he wanted to try to go back,” Boeheim said.

“But I just … I didn’t think he could do it. I just didn’t think he was able to go. And we would have liked to have had him at the end.”

So Triche was never called to go back in the game, and in the end, it was Waiters, not Triche, who made the key mistake. His errant inbounds pass to Jardine with 51.8 seconds remaining caused a backcourt violation, Syracuse’s 18th turnover of the game.

Moments later, after Darius Johnson-Odom drilled the eventual game-winning 3-pointer, the Orange’s season was over. And all Triche could do was hang his head. He stayed back after most of SU’s players got up to retreat to the locker room. He sat alone, head hung, and

grabbed the rebound.

Syracuse found ways to overcome its recurring turnover problems and pull out victories all season. Against St. John’s on Jan. 12, 20 turnovers didn’t faze the Orange as it steamrolled the Red Storm by double digits.

But that wasn’t the case Sunday. Costly turnovers allowed Marquette to hang around in a game Syracuse players believe they should have won.

“That was the story of the game,” Joseph said. “We turned the ball over quite a bit.”

Despite racking up 10 turnovers in the first half Sunday, the Orange maintained a lead for the majority of the game. But Marquette kept prying the ball away and getting to the free-throw line on the other end.

The Golden Eagles shot 23 free throws to SU’s seven. Most importantly, they converted 19 of them and were clutch at the stripe when it really mattered.

In a span of merely a few seconds, Syracuse went from being one basket shy of advancing to the Sweet 16 to watching the season go up in f lames.

“With ‘Unfinished Business’ being our motto, we definitely didn’t finish,” SU shooting guard Brandon Triche said.

sean harp | staff photographer Brandon Triche sat on the bench for most of the second half after bruising his tailbone in a collision with Marquette’s Junior Cadougan. He never returned to action. pondered what could have been.

“I felt really bad,” Triche said. “But if Coach wanted me back in there, I would have tried it. I’m not sure how long I could’ve been

out there, but I definitely would have tried to do whatever I could.”

One less turnover could have made the difference. And Jardine’s attempt to fetch Waiters’ throw-in may not have been a backcourt violation, as replays show. Jardine was in

midair in the frontcourt as his outstretched arm corralled the ball from the backcourt and his right foot landed on the half-court line.

According to the 2010 and 2011 NCAA Men’s and Women’s Basketball Rulebook, Rule 4, Section 3, Article 8 states: “After a jump ball or during a throw-in, the player in his/her front court, who makes the initial touch on the ball while both feet are off the playing court, may be the first to secure control of the ball and land with one or both feet in the back court. It makes no difference if the first foot down was in the front court or back court.”

But the referees made a judgment call. In the locker room, eyes glazed over, Jardine contemplated that moment.

After a few minutes, it finally sunk in.

There was one thing that made sense.

“We had the game won until the last minute,” Jardine said. “It sucks because we knew we had this one and let it slip away.”

“Shot right there that I usually take — and I usually make,” Jardine said. “But at that time, I probably should have tried to get to the rim.”

In the first half, Jardine contributed to the Orange’s turnover-happy play after its quick 7-0 start. He forced passes that led to two consecutive giveaways. And in the second, SU’s floor general continued to make the kind of plays that made head coach Jim Boeheim issue his trademark glare from the bench.

Midway through the second half, Jardine got the ball at the top of the key on the left side. Driving in, he tiptoed near the out-of-bounds line with nowhere to go. He flailed a pass up in the air for C.J. Fair, but Junior Cadougan of Marquette looked more like the intended target. Cadougan intercepted the pass and went back and forth with Jae Crowder down the court, and Crowder eventually found him underneath for a layup and foul. The free throw tied the game at 46-46.

Boeheim stood up on the SU sidelines, hands on his hips.

eventually led to Johnson-Odom’s second huge 3-pointer against the Orange this season, when Dion Waiters’ pass sailed and he dragged his foot backcourt.

But what had Jardine and his teammates questioning him the most was his final decision that doomed Syracuse — his final 3-point attempt. Momentum gone but still with plenty of time, Syracuse had possession. Twenty-six seconds to make up a threepoint deficit.

“We could have came down and got a better play,” Waiters said. “But at the end of the day, it’s all adrenaline.”

It was the same adrenaline Jardine felt when he made two 3s in the final minute of SU’s eventual Big East tournament loss to Connecticut.

Those sent the game into overtime.

This time, he had the same look as he raced down the court. He was impatient. But he was going to be the hero again.

Jardine and Joseph hint at return for senior seasons

By Andrew L. John and Brett LoGiurato The Daily Orange

CLEVELAND — After Syracuse’s disappointing early exit from the NCAA Tournament following a 66-62 loss to Marquette, both junior point guard Scoop Jardine and forward Kris Joseph hinted at returns for their respective senior seasons.

Joseph popped up as a possible first-round pick during the season. He led the Orange in scoring at 14.3 points per game. But in the locker room after SU’s crushing loss in the third round of the NCAA Tournament, Joseph said he was already looking toward next season.

“Work hard, be a senior leader,” Joseph said when asked what he needed to do during the offseason moving forward to his final season at Syracuse. “Lead these guys, just like Rick (Jackson) did. … I’m looking forward to next year’s season already.”

And amid questions concerning his crucial mistakes at the end of Sunday’s contest, Jardine perked up when asked about next season.

“We should be good next year,” he said.

Assuming they do stick around, Jardine and Joseph will be joined by a loaded supporting cast bolstered by the addition of a heralded freshman class. Sophomore center DaShonte Riley will also return after missing the season and redshirting with an injury similar to a stress fracture in his right foot.

At the end of last season, SU lost arguably its three top players in Wes Johnson, Arinze Onuaku and Andy Rautins. This season, the Orange looks to only lose its lone senior in Jackson.

Something Jardine also expects to be key is the development of a strong 2010-11 freshman class made up of Dion Waiters, C.J. Fair, Fab Melo and Baye Moussa Keita. After Waiters’ 18-point performance Sunday against Marquette, that’s something his cousin thinks could happen on a regular basis.

“He’s got so many things offensively that you just can’t teach,” Jardine said. “He’s great off the dribble. … He’s going to definitely be great with another year in him to get stronger, to get better and to get mentally better.”

Big East left with only two teams in Tournament Perplexed, Buzz Williams searched for a reason why only two of a record 11 Big East teams remain after the first weekend of the NCAA Tournament. To him, every one of those teams was deserving of a Tournament bid.

“We’ve won four of our last five, and on Monday we still won’t be ranked,” Williams said Sunday after his Marquette team defeated Syracuse. “I think that it does speak to the depth of our league.”

Further confirming the league’s depth is the fact that the two teams that do remain from the Big East finished ninth (Connecticut) and 10th (Marquette), respectively, in the regular-season

But Sunday, when No. 3-seeded Syracuse and No. 2-seeded Notre Dame each fell to lower seeds, much like Pittsburgh and Louisville did in the days previous, questions about the league’s strength were legitimized.

Though the league has underachieved in the tournament, six Big East teams finished the regular season ranked inside the Top 25. In the league’s postseason tournament, not even the two top seeds made it to the championship game.

“I mean,” Williams said, “in sticking up for our league, I think that it’s suggestive. If we were the last team in — which I think is hard to argue that we weren’t — for us to be one of the three still remaining, it speaks to the depth of

our league and the talent depth of our league.”

Even after this weekend’s upsets, some outside the league were still refuting the fact that the Big East was overrated or that it shouldn’t have had 11 teams in the field.

To Williams, it doesn’t matter that just two Big East teams remain when evaluating the strength of the league. To him, the only thing that matters is what those 11 teams did during the entire season.

“I think over a period of time is how you can tell how good teams are,” Williams said. “And I think the resume of those 11 institutions speak for themselves over the course of from Christmas to Spring Break.” bplogiur@syr.edu aljohn@syr.edu

No. 14 Syracuse drops two games below .500 with road loss to Florida The Syracuse women’s lacrosse team fell 16-11 to Florida on Saturday in Gainesville, Fla. The loss drops the Orange to 2-4 on the young season.

Attack Tee Ladouceur had four goals for the No. 14 Orange and moved into eighth place among Syracuse’s all-time leading scorers.

Freshman Katie Webster continued her strong start to the season, tallying three goals in the game. Sophomore Michelle Tumolo was the only other player to score more than one goal for the Orange, who struggled against an

8-1 Florida team.

Syracuse took a 4-3 lead on Tumolo’s first goal, an unassisted shot, but the Gators scored two straight goals and never looked back in the win.

The team was coming off a win at Towson on March 15 but was unable to create any sort of winning streak against UF. This was its third game of a six-game road trip. Syracuse is 1-4 since its opening-game win over Colgate back on Feb. 17.

In the second game, SU was led by another strong pitching performance. Sophomore Stacy Kuwik threw a three-hitter, striking out 10. She carried a no-hitter into the bottom of the sixth inning. Lacey Kohl went 3-for-4 and hit a threerun home run to pace the SU offense.

Syracuse has three games this weekend at Rutgers, with a doubleheader Saturday and the finale Sunday. The three games mark the start of Big East conference play for the Orange.

SU’s season ends with 3rd-round loss to Marquette

By Andrew L. John Staff Writer

C

LEVELAND — Sitting across from each other in the locker room of Quicken Loans Arena, Scoop Jardine and Dion Waiters finally had a chance to discuss the turn of events that ended their season. The two cousins calmly went back and forth, trying to figure out what happened only minutes earlier.

“I know it wasn’t backcourt, I know it,” Jardine said to Waiters inside the locker room. “But I didn’t see the replay.

I want to see the replay.”

The closing seconds ticked off in a blur. One moment, Syracuse had the game under control and a chance to take the lead in a tie game. The next moment, an errant Waiters inbounds pass became a backcourt violation as Jardine attempted to bring the ball to the frontcourt while walking the tightrope of the half-court line.

Moments after that turnover, Marquette guard Darius Johnson-Odom knocked down the dagger for the second time this season against the Orange.

Johnson-Odom’s déjà vu 3-pointer with just 27 seconds remaining gave the Golden Eagles (22-14) the lead for good.

The final seconds ran off, and the third-seeded Orange (27-8) was shocked by No. 11 Marquette, 66-62, in front of 20,164 — its ticket to the Sweet 16 left unpunched. Eighteen turnovers doomed SU in a game in which neither team could pull away and every single possession mattered.

“In the past, we’ve lost in the Sweet 16 and weren’t

Point guard Jardine’s mistakes prove costly in frustrating loss

By Brett LoGiurato Sports Editor

CLEVELAND — The brash, bumptious attitude was missing. For 34 games this season — 27 wins, seven losses — it was there in front of Scoop Jardine’s locker. Win or lose, always the same display.

Sunday, though, was different. Sunday, Jardine sat slumped in front of his locker in a chair. He spoke in a low, muted voice

instead of the usual upbeat, animated tone.

He had to reflect, not look ahead.

“Just sucks to lose,” Jardine said.

“There’s just so much you can say right now. Especially when we had the game won. It’s tough.”

In a game full of Syracuse mistakes, point guard Jardine made a select few that proved to be key and helped cost his team a third consecutive trip to the Sweet 16. In SU’s 66-62

season-ending loss to Marquette in the third round of the NCAA Tournament, Jardine finished with just six points and six assists in 36 minutes.

More glaring, though, were the three turnovers and the poor shooting night. He shot 2-of-8 from the field, including just 1-of5 from beyond the 3-point line. And one decision in particular — his decision to
