Off-campus apartments proposed By Jon Harris ASST. NEWS EDITOR

SECURITY A Department of Public Safety officer will be stationed at the hotel from 9 p.m. to 7 a.m., every day. The hotel has its own card swipe, and students will be issued a card through the Parkview Hotel. There are cameras located throughout the hotel that the DPS officer will monitor.

AMENITIES Students will live in open doubles. The hotel will provide the beds, but the university will provide wardrobes and desks like those in a regular dorm room, said Rob Benetti, general manager of Parkview. The televisions currently in the rooms will also remain, he said. Aside from a microwave in each room, there will be no cooking facilities in the building. There is a fitness center in the basement with two treadmills, ellipticals and bicycles. A meeting room in the basement will be converted into a study lounge with furniture and tables, Benetti said.

SELECTION PROCESS The housing office gave drama and design students first preference on living in Parkview, said Eileen Simmons, director of housing, meal plan and ID card services. Twelve drama students and one design student have signed up. The remaining spaces are now opening to all students during the regular housing process.

Opening of Parkview Hotel as housing option acknowledges, extends separate drama community By Kathleen Ronayne

MANAGING EDITOR

cross East Genesee Street and three blocks from the Regent Theatre Complex, home of Syracuse Stage, lies the Parkview Hotel. It’s a three-minute walk from the Complex, where Syracuse University drama students spend the majority of their time. For the first time next year, SU students will live there. The hotel was targeted at drama and design students, given its proximity to the Complex and The Warehouse. But that also means it’s a 15-minute walk from the Brockway Dining Center, the nearest on-campus dining center. It’s 19 minutes from E.S. Bird Library and a 20-minute walk to the Carrier Dome.

By summer 2012, Syracuse University students could have another offcampus housing option located about half a mile away. Norm Swanson, owner of the Genesee Grande Hotel and university-area properties, including the Parkview Hotel and Hotel Skyler, has proposed to adapt the former National Guard armory at 1055 E. Genesee St. into an apartment complex for SU students. The armory itself is being converted, and another building is being added to the north side of the four and a half acre lot, Swanson said. The complex, named Copper Beech Commons after the 140-year-old tree in front of the armory, would be

To accommodate growing interest in Syracuse University’s Los Angeles semester, the program is centralizing itself to a satellite campus in Sherman Oaks — about a 15-minute drive north from its current location in West LA. The 7,500-square-foot new facility will have at least six offices for SU staff already in LA, as well as classroom space, said Joan Adler, SU’s senior director of LA programs. The space will also serve as a local recruiting center for SU, which has seen a rise in applicants from the area. The move is expected to be complete by June, Adler said. The move was first discussed about six months ago, Adler said. She did not have information about the cost of the move, but said it would be cost-saving.

CORRECTIONS >> In a March 28, 2011, article titled “Soldiering on: Six decades later, SU alumni recall WWII veterans flooding, changing campus,” Ed Galvin’s title is inaccurate. Galvin is the director of archives and records management at the SU Archives. The Daily Orange regrets this error. In a March 28, 2011, article titled “Alter Ego: Drag kings and queens switch gender roles with dynamic, comedic performances,” the word “transsexual” was incorrectly used to identify the participants in the drag show. A preferred term is “gender-bending.” In addition, Gentle Gentleman was referred to using an incorrect pronoun — the correct pronoun is “he.” Members of the troupe Double Rainbow were incorrectly referred to using the wrong pronoun – the correct pronoun is “she.” The word “tranny” is considered derogatory by the GLAAD Media reference guide, and the word has been removed from the story online. The Daily Orange regrets these errors.

MARCH 29, 1949 Smokeless-Filled Rooms O

ne hundred men and coeds crowded into the living room of the Sigma Chi house last Thursday night, and another 50 got together in the dining room of the Kappa Kappa Gamma house on Sunday afternoon. Bright lights burned down on the groups and curious campusites streamed in and out of the rooms. Once again, the campus political parties had picked their candidates for the spring election, just 10 days away. It was something new, considering the particular brand of “backroom” politics practiced on Piety Hill. Many old-timers are shaking their heads in wonder. Almost gone were the days of the smokefi lled secret caucus room when iron-fisted party leaders dealt out campus positions like a mother dealing out candy to a good child. And almost gone were the party-strong men like Joe Warga and George Archer of the old Phi Delta coalition, or Doc Sengstacken and Bob Butterworth of the original Co-op party. Today only two political groups have entered the election race: the All-U party, a greek coalition, and the Co-op council, composed of greek houses and independent delegates. Last week, their meetings — unhampered

by parliamentary rules — were fairly good examples of democratic referendum. The Coops, using the highly-touted merit system, wound up with more greeks than independents on their slates, and with three men on the senior slate, instead of the traditional two-men, two-coed ratio. This ratio system was ignored by the council delegates. Old traditions also fell at the wayside at the All-U meeting when certain houses, which had winning candidates last year, found themselves with candidates again this year. There students so impressed the entire group with their personalities and abilities that most house ties were completely forgotten. During the next 10 days students will be watching the campaign closely to see if the new policies are carried through. Many a party have started out with good hopes and lily-white ideals only to end up at the other extreme, come election day. It should be an interesting race. — Compiled by Laurence Leveille, asst. copy editor, lgleveil@syr.edu This excerpt was taken from the full version of this article published March 29, 1949.

Small fire breaks out on South By Dara McBride News Editor

The Syracuse Fire Department and the Department of Public Safety responded to a fire on Farm Acre Road just after 2 a.m. Tuesday. Ross Terrance, a senior psychology major, said he was asleep in his two-person apartment at 181 Farm Acre Road when he heard the fire alarm go off. He fled his apartment and called the Department of Public Safety, which he said responded to the call within 10 to 15 minutes. The fire began in his roommate’s bedroom, Terrance said. His roommate was not home at the time. Terrance said he thought his roommate’s computer power cord had caused nearby papers to catch on fire. It appears damage to the apartment is minimal, as the fire was put out with

US archivist Inaugural lecture remembers legacy of political journalist speaks on security By Kelly Criscione Contributing Writer

By Rachael Barillari Contributing Writer

David Ferriero calls the National Archives and Records Administration “the best kept secret in Washington.” The National Archives strives to only classify information that must be kept secret for national security, and that information is only classified for as long as necessary, said Ferriero, the 10th archivist of the United States. But the National Archives can’t make all governmental records accessible to the public, he said. “If made public, they could compromise our national security by revealing sensitive information, complicating our relations with other nations and harming or weakening our national defenses,” Ferriero said. Ferriero gave a lecture Monday in Eggers Hall on the balance between providing access to governmental records to the public while protecting sensitive information. The event was co-sponsored by the School of Information Studies, E.S. Bird Library, Syracuse University’s history department and the Institute for National Security

For Marilyn Serafini, one of the most important political story topics of the past year was health care reform. Serafini, an award-winning journalist, delivered the inaugural Toner Lecture on American Politics and Political Journalism on Monday in the Joyce Hergenhan Auditorium. The lecture also recognized the first winner of the Toner Prize for Excellence in Political Reporting: Craig Harris, a senior reporter for the Arizona Republic in Phoenix.

Covering health care under President Barack Obama was not Serafini’s first run-in with the system, as she covered the health care debate under former President Bill Clinton as well. During the lecture, she spoke about the performance of the media in covering the health care debate. “Reforming our health care system is one of the most contentious political stories of the last few years,” Serafini said. The lecture honors Robin Toner, a Syracuse University alumna who graduated with a dual degree in

Members plan to cast votes on cyberbullying policy next week By Sean Cotter Staff Writer

A vote will take place for a new cyberbullying policy at Student Association’s next meeting. Taylor Carr, chair of SA’s Student Life Committee, announced the vote at Monday’s meeting. SA President Neal Casey also said there would be major announcements about MayFest over the next few weeks, but did not release any

more information. Carr met last week with Gerald Martin, director of the Office of Judicial Affairs, to discuss the cyberbullying policy, he said. The policy would have a two-tiered approach: policy change and education, Carr said. On the policy side, the Office of Judicial Affairs and SA would aim to update the current student

political science and journalism. She was the first woman to be a national political correspondent for The New York Times and spent 25 years working there, according to the Toner Program website. Toner died in December 2008 at age 54. The lecture and award celebrate and encourage the kind of political reporting Toner did in her career, said Charlotte Grimes, Knight Chair in Political Reporting and administrator of the new program, in an email. The Toner Program will bring

some of the nation’s top political reporters to SU to talk about challenges in American politics and covering politics, Grimes said. Toner’s husband, Peter Gosselin, and her former classmates, especially John Chapple, chair of the SU Board of Trustees, want to create a program in her honor, Grimes said. She said they are working with SU to fundraise a $1 million endowment to implement the program permanently. “One of Robin Toner’s coverage see toner page 4

Main Campus simply as “the Hill.” “There’s definitely a disconnect,” said Ellie Engstrom, a sophomore design and technical theater major. “We go to this gigantic school, yet we are segregated in our little drama pocket.” The life of drama students revolve around their work in the department. They are allowed between 24 and 30 credits outside the department, usually as upperclassmen. For homework, they spend hours analyzing the emotions and intentions of characters in a script or sketching and constructing set design. There are four Bachelor of Fine Arts majors in the drama department: acting, musical theater, design and technical theater, and stage management. Although it varies by major and year, most of the approximately 250 students in the department have little reason to go to Main Campus, except for food or other extracurricular activities. The disconnect with campus is something Ralph Zito has heard about and witnessed in his first year as chair of the drama department. The option of living in Parkview alleviates the inconveniences of living on Main Campus, but also physically separates students from Main Campus. The hotel has 70 spots for students, according to an article in The Daily Orange published Jan. 31. So far, only 13 students have signed up to live in Parkview - 12 drama students and one design student, said Eileen Simmons, director of housing, meal plan and I.D. card services, in an email. Heather Rubin, a freshman acting major, chose to live in Parkview next year. She works as an usher and in the box office at the Stage, and she gets out of work at 8 p.m. every Saturday. She then waits for the bus to College Place until 8:43 p.m., then walks up the stairs to Day Hall. “It’s just more convenient, and it means less transportation time,” she said about moving to Parkview. Many drama students acknowledge a separate drama community, as well as the positives and negatives that come with it. Ultimately, it’s up to the students to decide if being closer to the Complex is worth further removal from Main Campus, Zito said. In his

time leading the department, he’s heard a rangea of opinions and concerns on the amount of time drama students spend at the Complex and away from Main Campus. “There are some people who concentrate their life here in the department by active choice,” he said. “There are people who end up getting their life concentrated here and don’t ever develop a successful strategy for expanding their awareness in other directions.” Some students, he said, do branch out to Main Campus by joining sororities and fraternities, a cappella groups or other organizations. As chair, he actively works to help students manage their time between the Complex and Main Campus in a way that works best for them. Zito said he has discussed these concerns with Lucinda Havenhand, chair of the design department, and Ann Clarke, dean of the College of Visual and Performing Arts. Havenhand declined to comment for The Daily Orange. Clarke did not respond to multiple requests for an interview. For most students, the intensity of the program was something they were aware of and ready for when they chose to come to SU. The drama department offers a conservatory-style program within a larger university community. This gives students the opportunity to take academic classes and minor if they choose, rather than focusing purely on drama. “I kind of knew, going into this major, that it was going to be a lot of time spent with the same people for all four years in the same setting,” said Olivia Gjurich, a sophomore musical theater major. But because of the Complex’s location off campus, it sometimes makes it hard for the students to get a glimpse of the greater university community. David Siciliano, a sophomore musical theater major, said he tried to rush a fraternity, but had to drop out because he didn’t have enough time. “I would like to get connected more to campus because I kind of get tunnel vision,” he said. “But the problem is I love the work, but what ends up happening is we work ourselves to the bone.” Shane Goldbaum-Unger, a junior stage management major, said he got his first taste of concentrating his life in the department in the first few weeks of his freshman year. That year, Goldbaum-Unger was assigned as a soundboard

specialties was reporting on the politics and policies of health care,” Grimes said. “That’s also Serafini’s specialty.” Serafini is the first Robin Toner Distinguished Fellow for the Kaiser Family Foundation, a position that was newly created by the foundation, one of the nation’s top research organizations on health care issues, Grimes said. David Rubin, former dean and a current professor of the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications, introduced Serafini as a health care and welfare reporter for the National Journal. Rubin brought up the example of a comment

made by Sarah Palin, who referred to Obama and his bureaucrats as the “death panel” during the health care debate. Serafini stressed the importance of staying away from issues that are solely political-party differences when trying to focus on covering policies. “It’s the responsibility of journalists to write about what we should write about, not necessarily what is being said,” Serafini said. The second part of the lecture brought Harris, winner of the Toner Prize for Excellence in Political Reporting, and the honorable mentions for the Toner Prize, Sebastian Jones and Marcus Stern, up to the stage to answer questions from the audience. Ryan Lizza also received an honorable mention for the prize, but was not able to

He would spend all day in class - he was taking 19 credits - then go to rehearsal from 6 to 11 p.m. Aside from a quick run back to the dorm for food if he had time, he was always at the Complex. “Here it is, beginning of my freshman year, and I’m spending more time at the theater than with people on my floor,” he said. He remembers his roommate and others on his floor not understanding that he had class and rehearsals on Saturdays, something most college freshmen will never experience, he said. Aside from the pure amount of time spent at the Complex due to classes and homework, many upperclassmen choose to live in the off-campus area right around it. The apartments directly across from the Stage, above Harvey’s Pharmacy, is almost completely filled with drama students. Many sophomore students in the drama department choose to live in the Brewster/ Boland/Brockway Complex or on South Campus. For B/B/B, the appeal is the proximity to the Stage; and for South Campus, it’s all about having a kitchen. Given the limited break some students have between classes, one of the biggest annoyances of the Complex’s location is the distance from a dining hall. If students have an hour break from class, they still don’t have enough time to make the trip to B/B/B, sit down for a meal and make it back to class on time. There will be microwaves in student rooms at Parkview. But students who plan to live there are encouraged to get an off-campus meal plan or an SU meal plan, although nothing is required, Simmons said. The cooking facilities currently in the basement will be demolished by August, said Rob Benneti, general manager of the Parkview Hotel. Overall, students say the disconnect stems from two places - the sheer amount of work and

time required by the drama program and the Complex’s location off campus. The location seems to be the larger problem, many students said. “When I go to campus, it’s foreign to me, and I don’t feel like I’m having a normal college experience,” said Dawn Rother, a junior musical theater major. Jason Marx, a first-year senior acting major, transferred into the drama department after two years as an English major. He said he can talk to freshmen or sophomores about any room in the Complex, or any building around it, but if he mentions a Main Campus hub like People’s Place, they have no idea what he’s talking about. There’s a sense of a “bucket list,” Marx said, of typical SU things that drama students feel they need to do before leaving campus - go to a basketball game, a football game and the bars on Marshall Street. Even when it comes to partying, the students stay around the Complex - it doesn’t seem necessary to walk to Chuck’s Cafe or any of the other bars, he said. The one thing many students said they wish for is more collaboration between the drama department and other departments on campus. Some students act in other student films from the television, radio and film department. But aside from that, they feel not enough students even know about what they do down at the Complex, said Aisling Halpin, a junior musical theater major. It would be nice to see more shows promoted to the SU community like “Rent” was at the beginning of the semester, she said. But as most students say, the disconnect created by location and workload isn’t necessarily a bad thing. From the countless hours spent exercising and warming up for a performance to the late nights and Saturday morning practices - when you love what you do, they say, that’s all that matters.

attend the event. Harris won the award and the $5,000 prize for his eight-part series on Arizona’s expensive public pension plans. His article series investigated the Arizona pension system and called for Arizona lawmakers to reform and correct the abuse within the organization. The competition drew 103 entries from across the country from news organizations such as The New York Times, The Washington Post, PBS and NPR, according to the press release for the Toner Prize. The winner and honorable mentions were decided by five veteran journalists. Harris, Jones and Stern discussed their issue with gaining access to information. Harris had to countersue the Arizona retirement system to give him information after the company denied

his public records request. Stern and Jones agreed it is especially difficult to get information from politicians. “Politicians are famous for ignoring the question they’re asked and talking about what they want to talk about,” Stern said. At the end of the ceremony, Gosselin, Toner’s husband, said he and his children hope someday the Toner Prize will become like a Pulitzer Prize for political reporters. “If the program advances the experiment, we will fulfill the public purpose of the program,” Gosselin said, “as well as reminding my children that their mother was someone to be reckoned with and giving them the opportunity to represent Robin over and over again.”

SU makes right move by allocating more funds to library in 2012 The Budget Committee presented the 2012 budget for Syracuse University at Wednesday’s University Senate meeting, which revealed an increase of $900,000 in funds to the library system. After 2010, the yearly increase in funds will drop to $400,000. The increase in funding shows the university and administration have listened and responded to the calls — from many faculty and graduate students and some undergraduates — for improvements to the libraries’ research materials and facilities. At a meeting that sparked polarized debate about SU’s reputation, the library’s rank of 89 out of 113 research universities, according to the Association for Research Libraries, was a rare point of clarity: SU must improve the state of the library if it wants to remain competitive with regard to faculty hiring and attracting top graduate school

editorial by the daily orange editorial board candidates. The steps the university made in the 2010 budget and the work of library dean Susan Thornin in bringing attention to the needs of the library are commendable and require persistence. The annual $4 million Thornin suggested the library needs to meet the quality of its peer institutions is a far cry away from the one-time $900,000 increase. This issue greatly affects undergraduates, too. The standard for research papers and theses can only increase if the resources undergraduates have access to expand. Likewise, professors should promote and students take advantage of the ever-increasing research tools and materials the librarians set up each semester.

SU picks great graduation speaker Regarding the Letter to the Editor in Monday’s paper: I applaud the choice of J. Craig Venter as commencement speaker. The Human Genome Project has led to many great advances in medicine; our lives have all been positively impacted by this research. However, I think it would have been wiser to host a writer or a professor of English for this year’s commencement. Perhaps that person could teach Pete Stamm how to write in an articulate manner, something four years of college clearly has yet to do. Thank you.

Hints of spring make graduation heartbreakingly apparent

pring Break was oodles of fun. It was a blast in a glass, in fact. I went somewhere tropical — the Dominican Republic. I met people from exotic locations and foreign countries — i.e., Canada and Wisconsin — and I partied as hard as Ke$ha with glitter. Despite all that, I couldn’t help but miss ‘Cuse. With graduation looming so close and the sun making more frequent appearances, everything makes me nostalgic. And it’s not just because I’m a senior. Every year, right around this time, I get really sad about leaving. As a freshman, I had dramatic goodbyes with anyone and everyone I had ever met by early April. We hugged, we cried, we talked about how much would change in those three long summer months that would separate us, and we re-exchanged BlackBerry pins. By now, of course, I’ve grown and matured. I’ve realized that long,

blondes know better drawn-out goodbyes might be a bit over-the-top. I’ve realized I never really liked most of those people to begin with. I’ve realized the only major perk to saying goodbye as a graduating senior is that you can finally be honest about things: “Oh my God, byeeeeee!! Have a nice life! I hope I never see you again! I bought you this gym subscription and diet pills as parting gifts!” Honesty is really so underrated these days. But most humans aside, I really will miss Syracuse University. I’ll miss the fact that when our South Campus apartment flooded my sophomore year, FIXit congratu-

lated my roommate and I — rather than chastise us — for causing the second-biggest flood in a South Campus apartment, topped only by a flood started by one of the basketball players. I just don’t think that would happen in real life. I’ll miss endlessly discussing the weather. You don’t realize just how many of your conversations and Facebook statuses revolve around the weather until you live in a place where it snows every day, and every day, people continue to be amazed. And I will definitely miss all the guys rocking those “Real Men Have Seeds” T-shirts. Those are hot. I know I still have about a month and a half to enjoy SU. But as we all know, time flies when you’re having fun. And I just thought I would voice now the overarching sentiment that leaving sucks, before I get so sad that I won’t even be able to talk about it. Maybe I’ll just move into a freshman dorm and live creepily and happily in denial.

On a side note, though, there is still a bit more than a month left, and this is the time to make the most of it. Do the things you haven’t done before. Most professors have stopped taking us seriously since before Spring Break — although maybe in your case, it was since you first appeared — so feel free to procrastinate and refer to Wikipedia in your research. I know, I know, it feels good to be bad. And even though all good things must come to an end eventually, consider the fact that next year will probably be even more exciting. And if you’re a senior, it’s going to be OK. Just get a really high-paying job in an exciting city immediately after college, and you can buy yourself a whole new social life, I promise.

Code of Conduct, which contains no mention of cyberbullying, Carr said. The Code of Conduct needs to be brought into the 21st century, as bullying has always been around, but the form it now takes is often online, he said. From an educational standpoint, Carr stressed the need to educate students to become more active in stopping cyberbullying. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What happens is that hundreds of thousands of people are seeing it and are now a passive bystander to cyberbullying,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What we try to do is educate them, that when you see this cyberbullying, hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what you can do, here are the steps you can take, hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the resources that are available.â&#x20AC;? Carr and the representatives of the other groups involved do not have any plans for how to implement these ideals of education, he said. Those groups include the Pan-Hellenic Council, SA, Residence Hall Association and Pride Union. Up to this point, the groups have mainly focused on the necessary policy changes, Carr said. After next weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s meeting, they should begin making plans for educating students

about the policy and cyberbullying, he said. Casey, SA president, expressed his enthusiasm for this policy during the meeting. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re really excited about what weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to be able to deliver with this one,â&#x20AC;? he said. After the meeting, Casey also said he is very happy with the progress SA has made so far in his term. The last piece of legislation the assembly voted on, however, was a minor change to the student activity codes nearly a month ago on March 1. Despite this apparent lull in proceedings, Casey said he did not see the recent lack of legislation as an issue, but rather as a demonstration of a calculated and prudent approach by SAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s committees. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not going to sit here and pass bills just for the sake of passing bills with no teeth behind them,â&#x20AC;? Casey said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to make sure we can pass them with some weight behind them, so we can get something to happen.â&#x20AC;?

Other business discussed: â&#x20AC;˘ The results of the meal plan survey will be ready for next week, said Assemblymember PJ Alampi. â&#x20AC;˘ SA is working with the staff in Ernie Davis Hall to get an artist to the dining hall to paint a mural, Assemblymember David Woody said.

DPS vehicles blocked off Farm Acre Road at both ends. At least three trucks from the Syracuse Fire Departments were on the scene. The last fire truck left the area just after 3 a.m., but several officers remained on the scene. An hour after the fire was reported, the smell of smoke was still present outside the apartment complexes.

180,000 square feet and have a total of 133 apartments. The apartments would be at the corner of University Avenue and East Genesee Street, where a Connective Corridor bus stop is located, Swanson said. “The Connective Corridor is one of the key ingredients in terms of linking SU with East Genesee Street,” he said. If approved, construction for the apartment complex is set to begin in June with a goal of an August 2012 completion date. The estimated cost of the construction is approximately $18 million, which would be raised privately, Swanson said. Swanson said he and city officials first held talks about the proposal three or four weeks ago. The final approvals on the plans to convert the armory are expected in the next 30 days, he said. “We’ve already had all of our predevelopment meetings with the city of Syracuse, and we see no issues whatsoever,” he said. “We just have to finish up reviews with several departments within the city and then apply for

a building permit.” Swanson said he spoke with SU officials to advise them of his plans to convert the armory into student housing. “It is a project that is independent from Syracuse University, but having heard of the plans it seems like it could potentially create another housing option for SU graduate students and undergraduate students who have fulfilled their 2 years in on-campus housing,” said Sara Miller, associate director of SU News Services, in an email. Although separate from SU’s housing options, Swanson said he expects high interest from graduate students and upperclassmen at the university, as the complex offers several amenities and a great location to students. The cost of rent, although yet to be set, would be competitive with those of other recent apartments constructed in the university area, he said. Features of the completed complex include a 24-hour staff at the front desk, a 3,000-squarefoot health and fitness center, and a cafe open around the clock. A locked indoor storage section in each building with room for 60 bicycles and 220 outdoor parking spots are also planned. Each apartment would come with a washer

and dryer. Air conditioning, heat, light, furnishings, broadband Internet, cable and phone service would be included in the attendee’s rent. The complex would also be built to the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Development’s Silver standards, which uses energysaving insulation, windows and mechanicals, among other standards. The currently vacant armory would hold 49 apartments, a majority of which are planned to be two-bedroom units. The south-facing side on East Genesee Street would remain nearly the same, with the exception of minor window changes on the east and west sides of the armory. The armory, which was built in 1940, is among other buildings on a list to be nominated for historic designation, Swanson said. “We’re trying to adapt and preserve the historic nature of the armory,” he said. Swanson said he has met with the city’s Landmark Preservation Board and has a good understanding of how to move forward with the building of the complex. Over the past 10 years, Swanson said he has worked well with the board on many other projects. Swanson, 67, has been involved in local real estate for more than 30 years. One of

dispersed throughout the country, Ferriero said. People access the archives for family history and military records, as well as information about American history and how the government works, he said. Last June, Ferriero also met with President Barack Obama to discuss plans for the new presidential library. Obama is proud his library will be the first with a significant collection of electronic records, Ferriero said. Since the National Archives have always

been about openness and access, Ferriero said the agency complies with Obama’s open government initiative. With a redesigned website, mobile capabilities and use of social media, the archives have embraced the president’s requests of more transparency in the government and adapting to the digital world, he said. “The National Archives has a unique role in our government as the nation’s record keeper, but it also has a role that is shared with every other government agency, and that is protecting national security,” Ferriero said. “We take this responsibility very seriously.” Within the archives, the Office of Government and Information Services, the National Declassification Center and the Information Security Oversight Office mediate disputes between requestors and what information is not allowed access by the public. These offices also serve as informal information sources and work to eliminate the backlog of declassified records of intelligence operations.

“Releasing all we can, protecting what we must,” Ferriero said. To provide as much access as possible to the citizens, the National Archives are focusing on strengthening the relationship with the public by placing more information online, he said. Kristina Braell, a master’s student enrolled in the iSchool, said she is open to access, so she thought Ferriero’s speech flowed well with what she has learned about it. Brael said Ferriero seemed to encourage getting as much information into the public as possible. In response to Ferriero’s balance between access and security, Samantha Strevy, also a graduate student in the iSchool, said she thought it was the right approach. “When you are dealing with archives and national security, it is going to be difficult to balance both,” she said. “But he seemed to have a good handle on dealing with it.”

involving students in the LA community, they are required to have a car — and to deal with LA traffic. The new SU location will be closer to Interstates 405 and 101, both major freeways, and to where students are housed, Alder said. Kelsie Testa, a junior television, radio and film major, is currently studying in LA. She has to drive an hour to get to her internship at a website company and said it would be helpful if her housing and class space were closer. “It’s frustrating that everything is in a different direction,” Testa said. Stephanie Alperin, a sophomore advertising major, said she heard many good things about the program, but also many complaints about driving through LA traffic. She will attend the program next spring and was glad to hear it may be easier for her to travel between an internship and nighttime classes, she said. There are still some changes Alperin said she would like to see, such as a larger variety of classes, because the program is bringing in more students from majors outside the television, radio and film department. The Martin J. Whitman School of Management and the College of Arts and Sciences also have students in the SU LA program. Testa, the junior currently in LA, said she is happy she joined the program. Still, she said she was jealous she would not be there next year when the changes are implemented. “I’m envious of the students who will have the future building,” Testa said.

In the past, SU had to rent out other areas for meetings and events. Facilities are currently located in offices on an executive floor. The new space will have a modern feel to it and will serve multipurpose functions to accommodate the need for both conference space and gathering space for the smaller-sized classes, Adler said. Charles Merrihew, vice president of Engagement Initiatives, is responsible for the physical design. Merrihew could not be reached for comment. Adler said she considers the first years of the program — aimed at students with an interest in working in the entertainment industry — as a success, given the increase in student interest. SU in LA began with 28 students in fall 2009; next fall the program is expected to have 50 students, Adler said. There have also been many internship opportunities and strong involvement from area alumni, Adler said. Mary Gregory, a sophomore television, radio and film major attending the program next spring, said the LA semester is something she felt she needed to do. “They are always talking about how a lot of the industry is in LA, and that’s where I want to be,” Gregory said. Gregory plans to attend an internship while she is there, which will require driving “all over LA,” she said. Since the program focuses on

The structure of the complex would resemble apartments built by other developers on South Campus and Comstock Avenue, Swanson said.

SU professor Marion Wilson has led the initiative for the past four semesters through her “601 Tully: Social Sculpture” classes.

Breaking the mold

SU professor hopes renovations help build positive spirit in Westside area By Flash Steinbeiser

STAFF WRITER

hen Marion Wilson thinks of the house at 601 Tully Ave., she constantly recalls a wooden ramp. Sure, she also remembers how, for the past two years, she’s devoted almost all of her energy into revitalizing the once-decrepit house in Syracuse’s Westside. She also knows that instead of housing drugs,

the building is now a hub for employment, education and community integration. But she keeps coming back to that ramp. And more importantly, how that ramp was built to the entrance of 601 Tully just a few weeks ago in a joint effort by 2009 Syracuse University alumnus Zach Seibold and a Syracuse resident fromw the combined Near Westside Initiative, NorthUp and State University of New York College of Environmental Sci-

ence and Forestry’s workforce program. As Seibold taught the resident carpentry skills, a group of other Syracuse residents walked by and asked the workforce employee what he was doing, Wilson said. With a grin on his face, he replied, “I’m working.”

BlackBerry may lose appeal as other smartphones add BBM-like feature

lackBerry worshippers and elitists everywhere may soon start to find their faith is paper-thin. While most have cited supreme security, bottomless business purposes and the addicting capabilities of its exclusive BlackBerry Messenger Service in their assertion of BlackBerry superiority, this trifecta is about to lose the appeal of its heaviest hitter — BlackBerry Messenger. Yes, I know it’s blasphemous to the institution of CrackBerry, but BBM is soon to come to iPhone and Android

platforms at an undisclosed time. Goodbye exclusivity, goodbye any viable reason high school and college students would want a BlackBerry. Hello to a whole new smartphone landscape. If, for some reason unbeknownst to the universe, you are unaware of what BBM is, here’s a rundown. BBM is an application common to all BlackBerries, regardless of service provider, phone model or country of origin. It is a feature that is world renowned for its speed of message delivery and enabling of users to

our ram is bigger than yours more effectively stalk their contacts. Allow me to elaborate. When a message is sent via BBM, the status of the message is tracked through a visible indicator next to the message. There are symbols for when a mes-

sage is delivered and read, as well as when sending fails. The “R” symbol, which stands for “read,” has even been modified into an insulting verb. A phrase such as “I’ve been R-ed” means something along the lines of “I know ____ read my BBM but isn’t responding.” I can only speculate as to how many tiffs have erupted from the “R” phenomenon, but I’m going to go ahead and guesstimate that it’s a lot. This nifty BlackBerry feature has undoubtedly played a key role in allowing the BlackBerry smartphone

market share to hover at about 30 percent. With the dissipation of the exclusivity of BBM, the popularity of BlackBerry phones may wane as well. This begs a question of Research In Motion, the parent company of BlackBerry and effectively BBM: Why? Well, with RIM dipping in the stock market more than expected over the past fiscal quarter, it’s possible the company is looking to its strengths to clench to profitability.

Tully

from page 9

“Zach said they felt a sense of pride. It was nice to see some of the community members come in and do some of the building with university employees,” Wilson said. “I think he was really moved by the experience, that he would have someone to teach.” Wilson has recruited students for the past four semesters with her “601 Tully: Social Sculpture” class. Meeting every week down Tully Avenue, the class has refurbished almost all of the building. This theme of integration is what Wilson, an associate professor and director of community initiatives in the visual arts at SU, has pushed during 601 Tully’s entire construction process, which will be revealed in the house’s official opening by the end of this semester. This integration is not just between the university and the community, but across all disciplines at SU, Wilson said. Wilson said the class originally attracted only architecture and art students, and now includes English and geography majors. But Wilson said it does not matter what the student’s major is. Since the class is interdisciplinary, she said any skill is manifested within the project. However, the wide breadth of majors presents one of the biggest challenges for Wilson. Sometimes, she said, it’s difficult to find a text or lesson that applies to everyone in the class. “We don’t necessarily have a shared vocabulary, like if you’re trying to talk about color or design principles, not everyone knows the same things,” Wilson said. “So through readings, we try to find that.” As important as student collaboration is, it is only one piece of the larger production. To gain as many perspectives as possible, the class reached out to members of the Westside community and Fowler High School, which sits directly across the street from the brightly painted 601 Tully house. Samantha Harmon, a teaching assistant and 2009 SU alumna once in Wilson’s “601 Tully” class, works with students from Fowler, gaining insight on their vital opinions regarding the house’s placement within the community. Harmon remembers a time when they discussed planting vines for the fence by the building. A student from Fowler said if there were vines, it would resemble the unattractive, overgrown fences within the community. “He conceptualized the work in a context specific to the area,” Harmon said. “He was the only one who could talk about the project as a member of the neighborhood. He had that unique perspective that helped out a lot.” Community input, in fact, is what led to the very functions of 601 Tully. Wilson said when she first began the project, she spoke with the Westside community about what they wanted in the neighborhood. The largest responses were for employment opportunities and a coffee shop. This is what intrigued Matt Godard, owner of Café Kubal. When Wilson approached Godard about expanding his Syracuse coffee shop down to the Westside, he became excited about the positive impact it could have there. To him, a coffee shop provides the social glue some neighborhoods need to form an actual community. Additionally, Godard will teach certifiable barista lessons to students and residents in the community, increasing their chances at finding a job. As 601 Tully approaches its opening, Wilson faces the launch with relief. Recalling the stripped-down building with boarded windows that 601 Tully was just two years ago, she said she is thrilled that all of her and her students’

“People need hope. And something that is creating jobs is a positive impact. It gives hope, which is critically important in an area like Syracuse.” Matt Godard

owner of Cafe Kubal

work, which she found “harder than motherhood,” has finally come to fruition. Whether she’s touching up the house’s art gallery upstairs or adding a ramp to the building, she has found this semester extremely rewarding. “Every time we make a big move like that, we’re able to say all that conversation and design dialogue we had is now being seen,” she said. That relief, however, is met with a hint of anxiousness. Once 601 Tully officially opens, its lifespan and vitality will be the community’s responsibility. While Wilson is requesting the university to find someone who can look after the building, no decision has been made. Though, if 601 Tully can give an economic and social jolt to the Westside neighborhood, she and Godard see it as a symbol of optimism for the community. “People need hope,” Godard said. “And something that is creating jobs is a positive impact. It gives hope, which is critically important in an area like Syracuse.”

Blazers

crush

m arch 29, 2011

If you ever thought there was nothing particularly special about Tuesdays, that they’re just an extension of your already horrible Monday, then Blazer Tuesdays just might change your mind. On the last Tuesday of every month, which would be today, Blazer Tuesday is an opportunity to change up your style with a crisp, well-tailored jacket that will make you look like the young, professional collegiate you truly are. You may ask, “Why Tuesday?” Well, why not? Think about it — on the weekends you trudge through mud, snow and beer in some not-so-tasteful outfits, then you roll out of bed on Monday, crawl into the nearest available sweats and drag yourself to class. Tuesday is your day to be beautiful for the world. Which leads me to blazers. Blazers are classy. There’s just no way around it. Having originally been used for formal or business wear, blazers are traditionally seen as a sophisticated style. So it’s no surprise that contemporary styles and designers’ takes on this classic piece have made it a defining way to refine your casual wear. The best part about blazers, however, is definitely the fact that they are unisex. Blazers are a traditionally masculine garment, so guys fill them out perfectly. Not to mention, gentlemen, you can ask any girl you know, and she will agree there is nothing more eye-catching than seeing a guy on campus who has: A, actually dressed in something other than a hoodie and sweats; and B, rocked a well-fitted, stylish blazer. On the flip side, ladies, if you feel like wearing a dress or skirt today, or just want to dress up your jeans, matching it with a more masculine look is a good way to balance your outfit. So pull a casual cotton or leather blazer out of your best guy friend’s closet as an alternative to the usual cardigan. If you’re thinking of the power suits of the ’80s — the ones with flashy buttons and unnaturally large shoulder pads — that’s not what I’m talking about. Those are just gross. There are many different styles, in a variety of fabrics, for you to try, so feel free to explore and find your favorite fit. That being said, if you have one, go run back to your dorm, throw it on and stay classy, Syracuse.

Seasoned

sound

By Erik Van Rheenen Staff Writer

ellowcard, one of the pop-punk juggernauts of the early 2000s, had its career stuck in music industry limbo for almost four years. A lack of support from the record label, flip-flopping of the band’s lineup and the band’s founding fathers embarking on ambitious independent side projects led to Yellowcard being relegated to collecting dust on a shelf. But the beach-bum, surf-crazy mentality that catapulted Yellowcard’s pop-punk opus, “Ocean Avenue,” into the headphones of mainstream audiences is back on its newest effort, the cryptically titled “When You’re Through Thinking, Say Yes.” Although lead singer Ryan Key and his bandmates explored the darker regions of the pop-punk genre on the last two albums before calling their hiatus, all brooding lyrics and moody guitar riffs have been replaced by the paragon summer soundtrack fans have come to expect. “The Sound of You and Me,” albeit lengthy for an album opener, gives listeners a strong dose of what is coming with the rest of the album. Key’s voice soars on an emphatic chorus accentuated by the passionate drumming of LP Parsons and the band’s signature instrument: the electric violin played adeptly by band co-founder Sean Mackin. The violin may first seem like it wouldn’t mesh with the band’s poppy power chords, but in fact it ties the components of the instrumentation

Yellowcard’s new album reverts back to original style, supplying listeners with early start to summer

together well. Lead single “For You and Your Denial” starts with a violin solo that sounds like a philharmonic recital on steroids, which launches into a tandem effort that packs a mean one-two punch with Mackin on violin and Ryan Mendez on guitar. “With You Around” is a nostalgic track, referencing everything from tracks on “Ocean Avenue” to a cameo of pop-punk compatriots Saves the Day in the anthematic chorus. If there’s one song that deserves to be loudly sung along to while driving with the windows down this summer, it’s this one, hands down. “Hang You Up,” originally written for Key’s side project, “Big If,” translates well into a full-band effort with a mid-tempo, lovelorn melody and a heavy emphasis on acoustic guitar. The softness the track leaves on the album is woken right back up with “Life of Leaving Home,” an ode to the road with a violin-driven melody balanced with guitar chords that bleed blue skies and sandy beaches. If I ever set my alarm clock to this song, I swear I’d wake up back in 2003, a fitting anthem that would segue nicely into the albums of Yellowcard’s heyday. The album rollicks on with “Hide,” a quirky track that demonstrates Parsons’ nifty skills behind the drum set and a chorus that might as well be a direct injection of adrenaline to the system: fun to air guitar along to, raw and forceful. “Soundtrack” is the least sugarcoated tune on the album.

Although it wouldn’t feel out of place on the moody album that was “Paper Walls,” it still has a significant summery feel to it that was missing on their last release. Lyrics like “look for me tonight and swear that nothing’s gonna break our hearts this time” scream to be sung at end-of-summer bonfires everywhere. Even with the raw energy the rest of the album contains, the CD crescendos on its last three tracks. “Sing For Me” takes a new spin on vintage Yellowcard sound by mixing in some piano, a ballad of sorts for hopeless romantics with one of the biggest choruses the band has ever penned. “See Me Smiling” is a force to be reckoned with — Key releases as much pent-up frustration as a tropical storm — and is a song meant for rainy-day listening. The closer, “Be the Young,” is a newly inducted member to Yellowcard’s pantheon of incredible album-enders. A spirit tune about the young and young at heart, “Be the Young” will get concertgoers on their feet and backlit cellphones waving in the air when Yellowcard hits the road on tour. soundstagedirect.com It’s hard to ask for anything more from Sounds like: a pop-punk album: The soundtrack to Vintage Yellowcard your summer is back, bringing its Genre: Alternative arsenal of nostalgic, violin-driven, surfpunk sounds to a brand new level. ervanrhe@syr.edu

What do you think about this year’s commencement speaker J. Craig Venter?

“People shouldn’t be upset. I don’t think it has to be a famous person. It just needs to be someone who leaves a good message to the seniors.”

“I was kind of disappointed at first, knowing we had stellar people Wendy Feng like Joe Biden in the past. But freshman economics major thinking about it, he probably has a lot of accomplishments and has a lot of influential words to say.”

“Maybe only those students interested in science will listen to him.”

Two current favorites of mine are called LiveProfile and WhatsApp, both of which provide messaging services to Android, BlackBerry and iPhone users alike. They both offer a message-delivery-notification system similar to BBM’s and are seemingly just as fast. Oh, and did I mention they’re both free? But if neither fit your fancy, there is a veritable goldmine of free messaging apps for you to choose from. So while you wait for RIM to release BBM for the Android and iPhone (or dread it if you’re a BlackBerry enthusiast), shop

around your App Store and get accustomed to messaging your friends who use other platforms. Allow me to borrow from The Beatles for a moment to summarize the gist of this messaging miracle: “Imagine all the people, messaging in harmony.”

recently been made available to Verizon customers, which ushered in a whole new wave of BlackBerry-to-iPhone converts, the demand for the multiplatform BBM is there. With the release of BBM, users will no longer face the dilemma of choosing between a beloved messaging system and a user-friendly smartphone. It appears the faith of a BlackBerry user

is being shaken and is oftentimes crumbling. Business users may clutch to BlackBerries for its encryption capabilities, which make it a secure mode of communication, and more seasoned generations may continue to use it for the sheer fact that it has a keyboard in lieu of a touch screen. But many users who are collegeaged and below are jumping ship. BBM for the Android and iPhone is speculated to be available in about a year, but in the meantime there are plenty of third-party messaging applications that serve the same purpose.

made inappropriate gestures to a crowd after a high school basketball game at Rochester’s Blue Cross Arena. Marrone said he talked to Broyld, and he spoke of Broyld on Saturday as if he were just another one of SU’s 27 signees in 2011. “I’ve talked to Ashton,” Marrone said. “I’ve

“I think it is important for us to reach out to this (Rochester) community and say, ‘Hey, there might have been a little bit of a disassociation, but we are doing our part and we are going to come here as much as we can.’” Doug Marrone

talked to the family, people at the school. We are well aware of the situation. It is a private matter. We expect Ashton, as well as the rest of our signees, who have work ahead of them to do. But we expect all of them to be a part of Syracuse University in the summer.” Broyld exhibited behavior that his high school, Rush-Henrietta, described in a statement as “completely unacceptable.”

Broyld apologized for his actions two weeks ago through his own statement. “I know I violated our district’s code of conduct,” Broyld said in the statement. “I value the importance of sportsmanship and the good that comes from being a student-athlete.” The athletic 6-foot-4, 225-pound quarterback was named the New York State Class AA Player of the Year after leading Rush-Henrietta to a 13-0 record and the state Class AA Championship in the Carrier Dome. Along with his family, Jones soaked in all that Syracuse’s excursion to Rochester had to offer. After the 86-play, 55-minute scrimmage, Jones strolled alongside the Syracuse contingent at the stadium, which is only five minutes from his house. Jones, who is rated a threestar defensive tackle recruit by Scout.com, is regarded as a talent with upside, evidenced by his scholarship offers from Alabama, Florida, Florida State, Michigan, Notre Dame and Penn State. Syracuse has offered Jones as well. And Saturday, a smiling Jones said the Orange is in his “top five.” Among his family, Jones’ would-be defensive coordinator — SU’s Scott Shafer — sprinted up to Jones while he was on the Sahlen’s Stadium field. Shafer introduced himself to Jones for the first time with a handshake. It came after another run-of-the-mill SU practice, during which Shafer’s defensive unit outperformed the offense. The defense muzzled SU’s returning starting quarterback, Ryan Nassib, forcing him into poor pass after poor pass Saturday. “(We) definitely got some stuff to pick up on,” Nassib said. The drive west to Rochester aboard three

Saturday’s scrimmage was just the third practice in pads for the Orange. Nothing groundbreaking came close to occurring. Nobody was injured. The turnover and unforced error situations weren’t bad, as Marrone said. Position battles, the likes of which are occurring at linebacker and backup running back for the

Orange, simply couldn’t be analyzed “overall” by the third-year head coach. Practice was practice. But what surrounded it — Rochester — provided a flurry of news. “It’s always the same,” Marrone said. “You sit here as a coach — especially the head coach — you see things they do well on defense, on offense. I think the players, you got to get used to playing with each other.” aolivero@syr.edu

ROSS

FROM PAGE 20

The players were recruited by Firnbach and came to play for her, so they hesitated to buy into Ross’ plans for the program. Many players from Wasek’s freshman class didn’t end up playing their entire careers at Syracuse. “A couple years down the road,” Wasek said, “she really got the program going in the direction she wanted.” ••• Kris Hubbard remembers Ross as a cocky kid who needed direction. At Whiteford High School in Ottawa Lake, Mich., Ross was the “hot shot.” She relished the attention of the opposing crowds as the school’s best player. But Hubbard, her basketball and softball coach, thought she needed to be humbled a bit. “We had a few rounds, but I’m hard on them,” Hubbard said. “I made decisions, and she didn’t always like those decisions.” During a basketball game her junior year, Ross and a senior teammate crossed signals on a play call. The two yelled back and forth at each other across the court. Hubbard had seen enough and immediately took both players out. At halftime, Hubbard pulled Ross into the hallway. Poking her fi nger into Ross’ chest, she asked her, “Who do you think you are?” “That was the first time I actually heard that,” Ross said. “I was like, ‘I don’t know who I think I am. That’s a really good question.’” The star athlete finally got over herself. Ross said she learned how to win at Whiteford. That came in the form of three softball state championships. Those lessons served her well as a player at Toledo. During the fall of her freshman year, head coach Cheryl Sprangel asked Ross, a right-handed hitter in high school, to switch to the left side of the plate to take advantage of her speed. Ross thought she was a good hitter, but she listened to her coach and became a slap hitter. “She caught onto that extremely fast,” Sprangel said. “With her speed, all she had to do was hit the ball on the ground, and she could beat it out for a base hit.” The switch led to an All-American career as an outfielder at Toledo. Ross still holds MidAmerican Conference career records for batting average and hits. She was also a key part of the team’s 1989 run to the Women’s College World Series. Ross said she was willing to do anything to get on the field. “Initially, that’s a blow to your ego,” Ross said. “But you let go of that ego and you see the success and you think, ‘OK, whatever. Whatever it takes.’”

matthew ziegler | staff photographer LEIGH ROSS (RIGHT) took over the SU softball team in 2006, and in five years has turned a lackluster program into a national threat. This season, the team was nationally ranked for the first time in program history a year after making a run to the NCAA tournament. ••• Ross never viewed Bowling Green as a steppingstone. As its head coach from 1999 to 2006, she was focused on building her program and preparing her players for success.

“She’s the Energizer Bunny. Get on board, because this is what she’s doing.”

Abby Habicht

FORMER SU GRADUATE ASSISTANT

Ross bounced ideas off other coaches in the program. She learned how football coach Urban Meyer ticked. She respected how men’s basketball coach Dan Dakich disciplined his players. Women’s basketball coach Curt Miller became

a close friend. And she often talked strategy with baseball coach Danny Schmitz, who played Triple-A baseball in the New York Yankees farm system. “I think all those people, their No. 1 priority was getting their athletes to be the best they could. Period,” Ross said. “We want to win, but we’re going to do it the right way.” The softball coach had the same philosophy. And it showed. Ross left Bowling Green as the winningest coach in school history with a 237-198-2 record. She was the MAC coach of the year in 2001. Ross also led the Falcons to a MAC tournament championship and the NCAA tournament in 2004. Abby Habicht played for Ross at Bowling Green from 2003 to 2006 and then coached under her at Syracuse for two years. When Ross played, she would always do one extra repetition in the weight room to push herself. Habicht said that mindset pushed her to work harder. “You have that mentality in your mind,” Habicht said. “I’m lifting and, ‘Oh, I don’t know if I have one more rep in me.’ I’m going to try even if I don’t make it.” Habicht said once Ross got the players who shared her desire to win, it was only a matter of time until she put Syracuse on the map. She was determined to succeed. “She’s the Energizer Bunny,” Habicht said. “Get on board, because this is what she’s doing.” ••• Wasek and some other teammates were stuck in the middle. They wanted to support Ross, but they saw their friends resisting change. Eventually, the others left. And in the fall of 2008, Wasek and the rest of the seniors went to work. There was no more complaining at 6 a.m. workouts. The seniors didn’t take shortcuts. “The mentality turned to, ‘We will do whatever it takes to win. We’re going to work our butts off,’” Ross said.

Syracuse went 30-21 that spring after two straight losing seasons. The seniors passed their work ethic onto the underclassmen on that team, like this season’s ace, Jenna Caira. Ross called Caira almost every Tuesday while she was in Switzerland for her last two years of high school. That commitment and Ross’ vision to make Syracuse softball a national contender sold Caira on the program. The program moved closer to that goal last season. Before the Big East tournament in Louisville, Ky., Ross made a highlight video featuring memorable plays from practices and games. Caira said it gave the players confidence. And the Orange won three games in three days to win the Big East tournament. The Orange made the NCAA tournament for the first time in program history. “I think that was the first time the program learned how to win,” Ross said. “Now we know how to win, and we want more. Be greedy now.” Caira said the team carried its confidence into this year. And that work ethic led to the program’s first national ranking in program history. Other coaches are taking notice. DePaul head coach Eugene Lenti saw Ross play at Toledo and coached against her during her career at Bowling Green. Lenti said he knew Syracuse would improve because of Ross’ competitive nature. “I expect Syracuse to be a contender for the Big East regular-season and postseason title every year,” Lenti said. “A team that’s going to qualify for the NCAA tournament and make some noise.” For Ross, “middle of the pack” has become “front of the pack.” And she anticipates that to continue. “I’m expecting us to stay in front of the pack,” Ross said. “That’s where we need to stay is in that top of the pack.” rjgery@syr.edu

Tumolo looks to break out of early slump By Allison Guggenheimer STAFF WRITER

Gary Gait is looking for Michelle Tumolo to do three things: dodge, feed her teammates and finish. He needs her to accomplish all three of these things within her role at attack so no matter what the situation, the team can get the ball into the net. “That’s always been one of our needs from behind the cage,” Gait said. After having the highest single-season totals in points (74) and assists (37) for a freshman in program history a season ago, Tumolo has been off to a slower start this season. She is lagging behind the total number of points she had at this time last year, with 27 points through eight games. And her team is off to a slow start, too, with just a 3-5 record after being ranked No. 5 in preseason. Gait said her continued success, as well as that of the team, relies on her ability to master those three elements to combat the level of pressure she’s seeing in her second season. Although Gait admits this is a tall order for the sophomore — he said he has never had a player proficient at all three tasks — he said if anyone can do it, Tumolo can. “Last year she was able to be a feeder, and a lot of teams didn’t go pressure her behind, and it allowed her to have a lot of success,” Gait said. “But now they’re pressuring her behind and making it tougher. And when that happens, you’ve got to become a dodger.”

3 p.m. 4 p.m. 1 p.m.

Syracuse (3-5, 1-0 Big East) has one more game before its frustrating six-game road trip comes to an end. So far the Orange is 2-3 on that trip, losing games to three Top 10 teams. After scoring 19 goals in its opening-game win over Colgate, SU has been held to 11 or fewer in every game since then. In fact, the Orange has scored 11 goals in each of its past four games. The team has gone 2-2 during that stretch. Head coach Gary Gait is looking for attack Michelle Tumolo to take over games and become a truly dominant player for his Orange squad. SU takes to the road on Monday against Dartmouth before finally returning home for the first time since Feb. 27.

ashli truchon | staff photographer MICHELLE TUMOLO has relied on passing the ball to her teammates rather than finding opportunities to score on her own. Through eight games this season, her numbers aren’t where they were a year ago. Turning her play around is crucial for SU to start winning.

As Tumolo reacts to increased attention, she has trouble ignoring her feeder instincts. She relies more on her strong passing abilities as opposed to capitalizing on opportunities herself and scoring more goals, as Gait would like her to do. Her struggles have mirrored those of her team as a whole. Tumolo’s problems stem from the pressure she’s encountered from opposing defenses. After her banner freshman season, as well as the time she spent playing for the U.S. national team, the attention is hardly a surprise. Nonetheless, senior attack Tee Ladouceur said the defensive focus on Tumolo was giving her some trouble. “She’s been face-guarded a lot this year,” Ladouceur said. “And there’s a lot more pressure being put on her by other teams’ defenses, so I think it’s a little harder for her.” Tumolo’s reaction has been to fall back on what she said she knows and loves: assisting. Last season she finished 11th in the nation with 37 assists. But this season, she does not have the same assist totals. The added defensive pressure keeps her from completing the passes that set up SU goals so often last season. But Tumolo remains slightly hesitant to take on the “dodging” role and drive to the net. “Gary (Gait) keeps telling me I need to go to goal,” Tumolo said. “I don’t know why. I love assisting, so I look to pass before I shoot. But I do need to go to goal more.” In recent games against No. 2 Northwestern and Rutgers, Tumolo has been better about embracing her three jobs. She com-

bined for four goals and six assists in the two games, equating to one Syracuse win and one loss. The team’s next game is not until Monday at Dartmouth, so Tumolo can use the time to practice that offensive aggression. Ladouceur said she began seeing improvements in her fellow attack even in the games before Northwestern.

“She’s been playing through it, and in the past few games, she’s had a couple goals and a couple assists,” Ladouceur said. “And I think she’s on her way to becoming even better this season.” As Gait and his team look to improve their record and put together two consecutive wins for the fi rst time this season, the pressure will be on Tumolo to execute. When she gets shut down by a defender, she has to beat her defender one-on-one instead of looking to pass, Gait said. Gait said having a player who can feed, dodge and finish will put Syracuse on a level with the best teams in the nation. “The top three or four teams, they have success because there’s somebody to score from behind,” Gait said. “You go to double (team), they become a feeder. You leave them open when you slide up top, they become a finisher. That’s what we need.” alguggen@syr.edu

Miller snaps out of minislide in win By Michael Cohen and Chris Iseman The Daily Orange

VILLANOVA, Pa. — Being held scoreless didn’t sit well with Jovan Miller. After he tallied six goals for Syracuse through the team’s first four games, not getting on the board for two of them wasn’t acceptable. He failed to register a goal against Albany or Johns Hopkins, even though the Orange combined for 23 total scores in those two games. And since then, he’s been trying everything to get back on track. “The last few games, I’ve just been playing head games with myself,” Miller said. “I’ve been getting prayer from my parents, going to church and just trying to get over it in all types of ways — change sticks.” Following Saturday’s 5-4 win over Villanova, it’s safe to say Miller is over it. On a night when the Orange offense looked frustrated and stymied by a feisty Wildcats defense, Miller came up big for his team. He played a hand in both of SU’s fourth-quarter goals, scoring one and assisting on JoJo Marasco’s game-winner. Though his goalless slump lasted only 11 days, Miller insisted he felt an overwhelming sense of relief after contributing to the offense. “It felt great,” he said. “It was pretty relieving, to be honest with you. … It was pretty relieving to finally get out there and produce and be in an impactful situation.” Miller’s unassisted goal with 10:24 left in regulation was a bit of a statement for his offensive unit. The Orange had been battered and

sean harp | staff photographer Jovan Miller scored once and assisted on the game-winning goal in Syracuse’s 5-4 win over Villanova on Saturday. Miller broke out of a two-game scoring drought after failing to find the back of the net in the Orange’s games against Albany and Johns Hopkins. bullied all game long by Villanova, but Miller outmuscled midfielder Andrew Henrich to give SU a 4-3 lead. Miller held the ball out on top of the Syracuse attack when he began his dodge. He went right, then juked back to his left, lifting his stick over Henrich’s head in the process. Henrich slashed at Miller from behind as he streaked toward the goal, but SU’s senior midfielder fought off the pressure and buried the shot. A few minutes later, Miller created space between himself and his defender with the game on the line and whipped a perfect pass to Marasco on the left side of the goal. The sophomore seemed to catch and shoot in one motion, beating the clock and the Wildcats. And afterward, he credited Miller for the setup. “Jovan put an unbelievable pass in my stick, and I was able to throw it on net,” Marasco said.

Galloway ties all-time wins record On the night John Galloway engrained his name into the college lacrosse record book, the Syracuse goaltender played a game worthy of

his honor. The senior came up with much-needed saves to keep his team in the game, finishing with 11 saves on Villanova’s 15 shots on goal. In the Orange’s win, Galloway tied the record for most career wins with 51. He sits at the top of the list with former Princeton goaltender Scott Bacigalupo, but it won’t be long before he holds sole possession of the record. That could come as soon as Syracuse’s next game Sunday against Duke. On this particular night, though, Galloway frustrated the Villanova scorers all night long. They struggled to find the back of the net, despite some members of the Wildcats’ offense getting as close to the net as they could. “I thought their goalie played pretty good,” Villanova attack Jack Rice said. “We had a lot of opportunities around the crease, and he was just coming up with some big saves.” Syracuse committed five penalties against the Wildcats, giving Villanova’s offense five chances to take the lead and keep it for good. But in four of those five situations, Galloway shut Villanova’s man-up unit down.

sudoku without a cause 7

With SU up 4-3, Villanova called a timeout with 2:30 left. The Wildcats fans were on their feet in anticipation of a final possession. But as he did all night, Galloway came up with another big save. Villanova’s Matt Bell and C.J. Small worked the ball back and forth, before the ball ended up in the hands of Nick Doherty. Doherty went toward the goal, beating SU defender Joe Moore and firing a shot high toward Galloway. Galloway popped the ball up into the air, Joel White scooped it, and SU went the other way. Galloway sits with a career record of 51-6 after Saturday’s win. Although Galloway’s 51st career win put his name into the record books, there wasn’t much debate about his career anyway. He won the 2010 Ensign C. Markland Award, given to the nation’s most outstanding goaltender, and could be in line to win it again this year. “John’s been a great goalie ever since I’ve been at Syracuse,” SU defender John Lade said. “He does it game in and game out.” mjcohe02@syr.edu cjiseman@syr.edu

ROCHESTER, N.Y. — For Doug Marrone and the Syracuse football program, Saturday’s practice and scrimmage were more of the same. But in reality, beyond the humdrum repetition of the two hours in full pads spent at Sahlen’s Stadium, the bus trip 90 minutes west to Rochester served up a different practice environment. Due to the attendance of Rochester’s two most talked-about current high school football players — one an embattled 2011 Syracuse signee and one a lauded 6-foot-7, 290-pound, baby-faced 2012 SU target — the significant news of the day strayed from SU’s progression on the field and into the stands. On Saturday afternoon, the city of Rochester was supposed to reunite with Syracuse by way of the traveling scrimmage. It was SU’s fi rst practice outside of campus in as long as any SU athletics representative could recall. But Ashton Broyld and Jarron Jones became the news amid an underwhelming turnout. In 24-degree temperatures with winds whipping through the stadium, no more than a few hundred people fi ltered into the stands to see the Orange practice. Still, SU’s head coach Marrone promised to return to the neighboring city and preached the importance of SU’s relationship with Rochester. “I think it is important for us to reach out to this (Rochester) community and say, ‘Hey, there might have been a little bit of a disassociation, but we are doing our part and we are going to come here as much as we can,’” Marrone said. But while braving the frigid temperature post-practice with a seven-minute-long session with the media, Marrone spoke about Broyld for all of 20 seconds. Standing just yards from a smiling Jones — who, per NCAA rules regarding unsigned high school players, coaches are not allowed to comment on — Marrone addressed Broyld’s status with the SU football program. Marrone, a head coach who has taken a hard stance with regard to discipline in his two seasons at Syracuse, hinted that Broyld will be a part of SU. He said that despite a March 9 incident in which Broyld SEE ROCHESTER PAGE 15
