regg Tweedy doesn’t need to be reminded that his son has cancer.

He can see it on the 6-year-old’s face, where the muscles on the left side have become paralyzed from surgery. He sees it in the constant doctors’ visits and piling medical bills. But Tweedy sees it most when he tucks in his eldest son, Jack, at bedtime and worries whether he’ll be alive in the morning.

And if Tweedy needed another reminder that his son has a brain tumor, he could just look at the beads.

Every child who is diagnosed with cancer receives a string, and each time they go through a new treatment, they are given a new bead. After 15 operations, Jack’s string stretches more than 6 feet long. It contains hundreds of colorful shapes and characters, each representing a procedure, a needle in his heart or a scalpel in his brain.

On multiple occasions, Tweedy has been asked exactly how many beads are on the string. He doesn’t know because he’s never counted.

“Too many,” he said. “One is too many for any child.”

Jack was diagnosed with a pediatric brain tumor in September 2007. Doctors said it was the size of a tennis ball, and he was given just two weeks to live. With no pediatric neurosurgeon at Upstate University Hospital at the time, Tweedy and his wife sought treatment at Children’s Hospital Boston, where Jack, then only 2 years old, received the first of many lifesaving surgeries.

He has been battling brain and spinal cancer ever since. And after 120 weeks of grueling chemotherapy, the tumor is still growing.

Jack is running out of options.

“As a parent, you’re always waiting for the bad news, you’re always waiting for the shoe to drop, but you know you have to be positive because he doesn’t know how sick he is,” said Tweedy, a 1988 Syracuse University alumnus.

Despite his struggles, by all accounts, Jack is a happy kid. Much of that happiness has stemmed from his involvement with SU athletics. The SU men’s lacrosse team adopted Jack in April 2010 through the Friends of Jaclyn Foundation, a nonprofit organization that links children who have brain tumors with

Fine house in DeWitt up for sale

alyssa stone | staff photographer (FROM LEFT) JACK AND GREGG TWEEDY hug their dog Buster, a pet Jack requested after his latest surgery in March. After fighting brain cancer for the last four years, Jack has collected a string of beads, which he adds to after every treatment.

Bernie Fine’s house is now selling for $549,900 — four months after federal agents searched and removed several file cabinets from the property as part of their investigation.

The former Syracuse University associate men’s basketball coach’s DeWitt home at 7001 Tiffany Circle has been owned by the Fines since 2001, when they purchased it for $285,000, according to a March 28 article by The Post-Standard. The property is located across the street from head basketball coach Jim Boeheim’s residence.

An online listing at realtor.com shows there are no scheduled open houses, but those interested in possibly purchasing the house may request a private showing through realtor Mary Jo Heitkamp-France.

Heitkamp-France declined to comment.

The 2,898-square-foot, five-bedroom, four-bathroom house was built in 1985.

It has a total of 13 rooms, a pool, a hot tub and a finished basement. It is located in the Jamesville-DeWitt School District, according to the listing.

The land assessment of the property is $80,700 and the full market value of the house is $305,000, according to the Onondaga County Office of Real Property Services.

Fine was fired from the university Nov. 27 after allegations surfaced that he sexually molested former ball boys Bobby Davis and Mike Lang. Fine has denied all sexual abuse allegations and has not been charged. meltagou@syr.edu

Theatre updates to continue

By Maddy Berner ASST. COPY EDITOR

As renovations to the Syracuse Stage near completion, more revitalization and restoration projects are on the way for the city of Syracuse.

Improvements in front of the building are not finished, but include structural and interactive elements that have not been done anywhere else in the city. The venue is just one of many projects being executed around Syracuse to make it more attractive to students, locals and visitors in the area.

The renovations to Syracuse Stage include glowing mesh gates, pressuresensitive tiles and a seating area to create an outdoor performance area.

The eight gates, though barely lit now, will brighten as more people interact with them. The tiles make noise when they are stepped on with the right amount of pressure.

The renovations are a collaboration of Syracuse Stage and a division of Syracuse University’s School of Architecture called UPSTATE, which does various design advocacy in the city and beyond, said Joe Sisko, the assistant director.

“The Stage additions were just an exercise in being playful, getting people to use the spaces that are on the Corridor, especially,” he said. “We’re trying to come up with technologically innovative ways to encourage people to use public space.”

Jeffrey Woodward, managing director of the Syracuse Stage, said the outside plaza is a welcomed addition.

“Not only does it replace an old and very decaying plaza, but it has sparked curiosity, play and just plain fun among the variety of people in neighborhood including students, theater-goers, faculty and staff, and people walking by,” he said in an email.

The funding for the renovations came from the Connective Corridor office as a part of a bigger project to rejuvenate the city, said Linda Hartsock, director of community engagement and economic development at SU and director of the Connective Corridor.

The Syracuse Stage project, she said, is one “show piece” of many along the Connective Corridor route that weaves through the streets of Syracuse.

stacie fanelli | asst. photo editor Lecture halls have become a staple for colleges across the country and are common at Syracuse University. But some universities are choosing to move away from lecture halls. SU, on the other hand, is continuing to build more, including Dineen Hall for the College of Law.

Students, faculty discuss pros, cons to lecture halls

By Jessica Iannetta STAFF WRITER

For Patricia D’Amore, the design of lecture halls can be just as distracting as the number of students in it.

“I really cannot stand the architecture of it,” said D’Amore, a sophomore international relations major.

“If one person has to leave, everybody has to get up. There’s absolutely no space to move.”

D’Amore’s dissatisfaction aligns with a growing sentiment across the country. Lecture halls, a college staple, have recently come under scrutiny as colleges begin looking for alternatives to large classes, according to a Feb. 15 article by The Washington Post.

But at Syracuse University, the lecture hall doesn’t seem to be going anywhere in the near future. Dineen Hall, the new building being constructed for the College of Law, will feature five tiered lecture halls of various sizes and two smaller lecture halls, according to the Office of Campus Planning, Design and Construction website.

Many professors, such as international relations professor Terrell Northrup, maintain that there’s a place for many different kinds of classes on college campuses.

“Different people learn differently, so having a variety of teaching methods available is a good thing, including large lectures for some

purposes,” she said in an email.

She also said having a variety of classroom environments benefits a wide range of faculty members who have diverse teaching styles.

But Laura Cohen, a freshman magazine journalism major, said the lack of interaction makes lecture halls distracting. With so many people, there is little chance to participate.

“In big lecture halls, it’s easy to just not show up or not pay attention because there are so many people, and the professor won’t notice,” Cohen said.

Jeffrey Stonecash, a political science professor, said he doesn’t think the size of the room matters. What matters, he said, is how well the

course is organized, whether the class is required and the quality of the students.

“Students learn more when the course is well designed and the students take the initiative to learn,” he said in an email. “When one of that combination is missing, it does not go well.”

Technology has made it easier for students to skip and not suffer the consequences. The Internet is full of information on a variety of topics students are studying, and YouTube has lectures from well-known professors from around the country, according to The Washington Post article.

The event, “The Writer as Witness,” is free and open to the public. It will be held at 7:30 p.m. in Hendricks Chapel. The lecture will be conducted as a conversation between Williams and Don Mitchell, a geography professor in the

Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs.

“Her text is passionate, philosophical, honest, eye-opening and thought-provoking,” said Esther Gray, special assistant for the Office of Academic Affairs. “She brings an honesty and openness about our environment that we all need to hear.”

Williams has published work in The New Yorker, The New York Times and Orion Magazine, among others, according to the release. She also received the Wilderness Society’s highest honor, the Robert Mar-

Williams said she will discuss major environmental issues, particularly the policies that affect New York, during the discussion. One major environmental issue is the proposed hydrofracking legislation that is currently being debated in the New York State Assembly.

Bieber begins transition to from teen heartthrob to adulthood with ‘Boyfriend’

T

weens across the country are dropping like flies. The sudden swooning can only be traced back to hair-flipping heartthrob Justin Bieber.

Bieber asked fans Monday whether he could be their “Boyfriend” with his newest single from his second album, “Believe.”

Bieber croons, “If I was your man, I’d never leave you girl / I just want to love you and treat you right,” proving his voice finally dropped. This is a big departure from the kid whose most thoughtful lyrics were: “And I was like baby, baby, baby, oh.”

But the Biebs is a man now — he turned 18 a few weeks ago. His famous purple hoodie is nowhere to be found. Instead, he’s sporting a gray plaid button-down and a “Hey, girl, I’m legal now” pout on the “Boyfriend” single cover.

The pop star is at that very difficult stage in the evolution of child star. His strongest fan base isn’t

ARIANA ROMERO

the one that got away ready for him to jump into adulthood. If he makes one too suggestive remark, he can alienate the girls that made him famous.

Bieber is quickly losing his preteen crowd.

They will move on to some cuter 15-year-old with a sparkling falsetto soon. Bieber needs to start musically pleasing some older ladies.

It’s a hard time for Bieber and his management.

“Boyfriend” walks the line between tween-

friendly lyrics and college guy charm. He makes offers a mother would love, such as Buzz Lightyear-inspired trips and fireside fondue.

Bieber makes the same promises girls hear every Saturday night at college parties. Bieber’s got money to blow on a lucky lady and wants her to remember his “swag, swag, swag.” Plus, it only takes a week to be crowned his girlfriend.

Bieber noted his own change in musical direction. During an interview with Ryan Seacrest, the 18-year-old talked about his newest single.

“It’s just something a little bit more mature, but it’s also something I think I’m ready for,” he said.

It is hoped the Biebs will take a page from fellow teen music sensation Justin Timberlake.

Timberlake performed an almost seamless transition from J-14 cover boy to respectable entertainer — except for that one Super Bowl issue.

He’s now filming an early Oscar contender with

Clint Eastwood.

The key to Timberlake’s success was he grew slowly. He first proved there was more to him than repeating the word “bye” with sweet dance moves.

He gave us subtly mature hits like “Cry Me a River.”

We all realized he was old enough to fall in love and to feel heartbreak. Timberlake gave us some foreplay going into the kinkfest that is “SexyBack.”

Young pop stars can’t go from candy-coated pop to ushering in the return of sexy instantly. They can’t just see what we’re twerkin’ with out of the gate. That makes everyone uncomfortable.

Bieber has to mature in front everyone and their moms, he’s going through universal growing pains. He’s figuring out his limits and his goals.

And that’s something we can all identify with.

Basketball program transcends university administration, Board of Trustees Any organization can encounter a crisis that threatens its purpose and reputation. With strong leadership, however, a crisis becomes an opportunity to generate positive change in the organization and strengthen its reputation. The SU basketball crisis, and it is certainly that, appears not to be on such a constructive trajectory.

One reason for this state of affairs is the ongoing accumulation of problems with the basketball program, with little public evidence of decisive, forceful action to manage them and prevent future ones. I believe another closely related issue is that virtually the only face of the university amid the very serious controversies is a coach, and that

LET TER TO THE EDITOR coach continually displays a very negative, sour and defensive demeanor. To me, he apparently has little understanding he represents the university and that in speaking to the outside world, his main job is not to vent his personal frustrations and ennui. Dignity, grace and courageous dedication to doing what is right should define the persona of the university.

These and other difficulties, I feel, add up to an impression that the basketball program transcends the university in the minds of its manage-

ment and Board of Trustees. If so, we are perhaps seeing a regrettable parallel with what may have happened at Penn State. And may we also be witnessing another coach who, his many undeniable achievements and talent notwithstanding, has stretched his tenure too far?

Moreover, now may be the best possible time to rethink totally the role of big-time athletics at SU. This is necessary both because the school should not continue “business as usual” in basketball and because higher education is likely facing a future of profound questions and changes that will go far beyond sports while also enveloping them. I know well the arguments in favor of big-time athletics,

but they are tired and hollow rationalizations for deferring courageous actions that would ultimately strengthen Syracuse’s educational mission and the institution’s reputation.

For what it may be worth, I will note my views on basketball and other athletic programs come from someone who for many years has been enthusiastically supportive of the university, rooted for its teams and felt an emotional bond with Syracuse since Ernie Davis left my high school to go there.

Poor reaction to Block Party artists serves as learning tool Less than 90 minutes after University Unionís midnight announcement for Block Party 2012, #ThingsIdRatherDoThanGoToBlockParty was the No. 1 topic trending worldwide on Twitter.

This reaction from students poses a problem for UU officials. Even though students made it clear UU missed the mark this time, they must remember that UU does listen and respond to as much student feedback as possible.

In UUís annual survey, the electronic genre came in second behind rap and hip-hop, so it does appear there is a demand for this type of music on campus. DJ Kaskade is a successful artist from the electronic genre and was named ìAmericaís Best DJ of 2011î by DJ Times.

Although Kaskade is a successful artist in the word of electronica, his name is not familiar to SU students.

Name recognition is an important factor for students when deciding whether to go to a concert.

UU did listen to concerns lodged by students previously. In the past,

EDITORIAL by the daily orange editorial board students complained UU did not have enough musical diversity in the larger concerts each year. Last yearís Block Party lineup featured rapper Nas and hip-hop artist Kid Cudi. Students complained the artists were too similar and served one audience.

This year, indie-rock band Cold War Kids will go onstage before DJ Kaskade. This is a refreshing change and shows UU officials do listen to student concerns, but some students complained they did not know who the indie-rock band was.

It is encouraging to see UU pick from top-rated genres from the survey and to see UU bring diversity to the Block Party lineup. But it is disappointing UU missed the mark with the actual artists.

Going forward, UU should continue to listen to as many students as possible and make sure its Block Party survey reaches as many students as possible.

Health care mandate takes hit in Supreme Court, seems to slow down

O

ral arguments began in the Supreme Court concerning the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act on Monday. Arguably the most significant aspect of what the court will hear is whether Congress has the power under the commerce and necessary and proper clauses to mandate individuals buy health insurance.

Thankfully, the mandate seemed to take a hit Tuesday, when many of the justices seemed doubtful of the government’s argument on the issue. But it is important to look at the principle and the potential effects the mandate has if it is upheld by the nation’s court of last resort.

If the court were to interpret the Constitution derived from the document’s original meaning, there would

be little doubt of the lack of legitimacy of the government’s case in front of it.

Unfortunately, many of the current justices, who affect current court decisions through the principle of stare decisions, have taken a more evolutionary view of the governing document of our federal system. The view blurs the lines of the permissible and allows for an ever changing document.

Not only has Congress overstepped its bounds when it comes to the Constitution, it has also pushed aside the principle of a limited and enumerated federal government. For these reasons the implications of the mandate being upheld are catastrophic.

If Congress has the power to regulate nonparticipation by compelling commerce because nonparticipation has a

the right direction

negative effect on a certain market, anything can be mandated in a similar way.

Congress would have taken unlimited power for itself, and it would have been vindicated by the court.

One of the most disturbing and remarkable aspects of the litigation up to this point is the government has not once been able to come up with a principle that would limit the power of Congress to impose economic mandates.

The mandate by Congress should be viewed skeptically because of the natu-

ral progression of federal power. The government’s argument is that health care is a special industry that must be regulated in a nontraditional fashion.

This is not a principle that limits the power to mandate because other industries could be subsequently declared similarly different or special.

One need not look past the creation of the income tax for an example. The income tax was sold to the American people as a tax only on the very rich.

Over time the tax became much more encompassing and now applies to about half of working-age employees at a wide range of incomes.

Once Congress has the power to force the public into buying something, it will surely expand this to other areas. This is why the framers

gave Congress only enumerated powers and stressed the federal government must be limited in size and scope.

The Supreme Court’s decision will undoubtedly be one of the most consequential in the last hundred years and possibly in the history of our republic.

It will set the course for future congressional power and show the institutions deference to the constitution.

Going forward, one can take comfort in the fact the law is as constitutionally permissible as it is poor in essence.

When it comes down to that, the act in general and the individual mandates more specifically are in serious trouble.

within which students can understand a subject and can make sense of the often disconnected information that’s out there,” he said in an email. “Ideally, we also help students develop critical thinking skills, which doesn’t necessarily happen through surfing the web.”

Professor Stonecash said he agrees.

“The key is to integrate information,” he said. “Too much of education and its relationship to technology is discussed now without focusing on the role of the student in applying himself/herself. Bells and whistles are not a substitute for that.” jliannet@syr.edu

TWEEDY PAGE 1 college and high school sports teams. Nearly two years later, Jack remains the team’s biggest fan.

Tweedy said the athletes don’t have to do much — a pat on the head here, a fist bump there — to make Jack happy. Being allowed to run on the field with the players or meet them in the locker room after a game has done wonders for Jack’s self-confidence.

For a child like Jack, who was suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder after a slew of painful operations, this interaction made all the difference in the world, Tweedy said.

“It has had a wonderful impact in making him feel normal, like someone special,” Tweedy said. “He knows he’s not normal; he wouldn’t look in a mirror for a year because he thought his face was broken.”

Morey Mossovitz, assistant director of athletics for facilities and event operations, said Jack was the first child adopted by the men’s lacrosse team, but the SU women’s lacrosse team and men’s basketball teams have since adopted a child fighting pediatric cancer.

Of all the players on the lacrosse team, one became particularly fond of Jack. Former AllAmerican midfielder Jovan Miller went out of his way to spend time with the boy, showing up to two of his birthday parties for support.

Miller was soon Jack’s favorite player, and still is, even though he graduated last spring.

Miller attributes their connection to his love for kids and said he is still a child at heart.

“It’s really hard to have a positive influence, especially in sports today, and anybody who can be genuine and really be a fan of mine, I can always appreciate it,” he said.

Miller said watching Jack overcome such great obstacles while keeping a positive attitude put life in perspective for him.

“Realistically, this kid is going through a lot more than I am,” Miller said. “We just lost a game, this kid could possibly lose a life.”

Tweedy appreciates the athletes’ willingness to interact with his son, whether that be by accepting the Hershey’s Kisses Jack hands

“Rally around this little boy who is such a fighter. If this team fought as hard as he does to stay alive, they’d never lose a game.”

Gregg Tweedy

them while in the first row or just waving to him. It is the closest he will get to playing the game.

“Jack will never play any sport,” Tweedy said. “Even if there’s a cure tomorrow, the tumor has already done enough damage to his brain and his coordination that he’ll never have that skill level.”

The more time Jack spent running around with the team, Tweedy said, the more he broke out of his shell. Before, Jack might scream and run away when introduced to someone new. Now he feels comfortable greeting perfect strangers by taking their photo with his digital camera. The photos he took of Niagara Falls are framed in the Tweedy home.

In fact, photography is just one of Jack’s many hobbies nowadays. He also loves to color, play video games and run around with his little brother, Gabriel — who is almost the same size as Jack, despite being only 4 years old. He even goes to school when his immune system feels up to it.

Tweedy encourages him through it all. This

The vision will bring cutting edge urban developments through art, culture, technology and community, she said. The project exemplifies Chancellor Nancy Cantor’s Scholarship in Action program because of its partnership between the SU community and the city.

“It’s just a great example of the vision that we had for ways in which we can bring Syracuse University talent and resources … to create a vital creative community,” she said.

Sisko said UPSTATE has been working directly with Syracuse Stage to come up with the concept and design of the renovations, but various technological setbacks have prevented them from meeting their October 2011 deadline. The new date of completion is set for mid-April.

Hartsock said delays in construction are common because the contract approval process takes a long time to be circulated around state funding agencies. Otherwise, she said, there have been no major obstacles within the program.

The warm weather has even quickened construction activity, she said.

Most of the projects are within phase one of the Connective Corridor initiative and should be completed this year, according to a projected timeline. Phases two and three consist of further streetscape improvements set to be complete within the next two years.

Construction has already begun on the streetscape improvement program, which

week alone, the father threw Gabriel a birthday party, took Jack to chemotherapy and shaved his head at a charity event, all while going through a divorce.

Tweedy participated in the St. Baldrick’s fundraising event held Sunday at Kitty Hoynes, an Irish restaurant and pub in downtown Syracuse. He, along with his father and three friends, shaved their heads to raise money for pediatric cancer research. Their group was called “For the Love of Jack,” and so far they have raised $7,670 of their $10,000 goal.

St. Baldrick’s raised more than $300,000 for pediatric cancer on Sunday alone, said Sophia Meskos, a volunteer who helped coordinate the event.

Tweedy invited the men’s lacrosse team to join him in shaving their heads to support Jack and other children like him. But due to the location of the event, it was against NCAA policy, said Cindy Desko, the wife of men’s lacrosse head coach John Desko.

Cindy Desko has gotten to know the Tweedys from lacrosse games, as they sit directly behind her. Jack has acted almost as a mascot for the team, she said.

The Tweedys haven’t been to a game yet this season because of Jack’s chemotherapy treatment schedule, but the men love when he attends. Jack doesn’t pay much attention to the game, but cheers loudly from the first row while handing the players chocolate.

“I want this lacrosse team to be bonded, I want this team to win a national championship and I want Jack to be a part of that. Rally around this little boy who is such a fighter,” Tweedy said. “If this team fought as hard as he does to stay alive, they’d never lose a game.”

It’s not hard to tell Jack is a fighter. Just look at the beads.

But the only two beads that have any real meaning to Tweedy have yet to be strung: the bead of remission and the bead of No Evidence of Disease. egsawyer@syr.edu If you would like to make a donation to help Jack and other children fighting to beat pediatric cancer, visit stbaldricks.org/participants/tweedy.

started on University Avenue, and will hopefully be completed by the summer, Hartsock said. The improvements will include granite curves and bike lanes.

Connective Corridor is also implementing a Façade Improvement Program, in which 41 buildings in the area received grants to improve their storefront to be more appealing to passers-by.

Other upcoming projects include a program to help new students and visitors find their way around the city using informative signs, a large public art project that connects about 35 art venues to the SU community and the introduction of a workshop and lecture series.

The use of green infrastructure, streetscape improvement and new pedestrian walkways are also part of the Connective Corridor project.

Syracuse is one of the first cities in the country to use green infrastructure in city projects, Hartsock said.

It is hoped these initiatives will bring more SU students downtown, she said. But the ones who have already seen the changes are “blown away.”

Hartsock said the Connective Corridor has engaged businesses and community venues in creating new projects around the city. She also said the project has provided Syracuse with resources that it would otherwise not have had to take on larger design projects.

Said Hartsock: “And for Syracuse University, it’s something that really positions Syracuse as a leader in terms of civic engagement among other colleges and universities in the country.” mjberner@syr.edu

lthough seeing college women in high heels on campus is not uncommon, the same cannot be said for many college

men.

A group of male students at Western Kentucky University put themselves in this exact situation when they donned stilettos in support of raising awareness for issues of rape and sexual assault.

Fifty fraternity members, including representatives from all 12 of WKU’s fraternities, participated in the walk held March 21 for the second year. Bryan Hartzell, president of the Interfraternity Council at WKU, said this year’s event was more successful with 20 more members participating.

“Our council wanted to make it better, and we thought it could be a really big event and make a big impact,” Hartzell said. “It was something that we felt could unite our fraternities and support the women on our campus.”

WKU students are not the first to participate

Fraternity brothers at Western Kentucky University strut in stilettos to raise money for victims of sexual assault

in the walk. Walk a Mile in Her Shoes, the organization that put on the event, has sponsored similar walks throughout the country, according to the organization’s website.

Participants met outside the university’s Chi Omega sorority house the morning of the walk and got settled into their new footwear. The walk began at about 11:15 a.m., starting from the east side of campus, up the campus’ main hill and down the other side.

The walk concluded with a speech during which they presented the amount of money raised, Hartzell said.

With the support of both fraternity members and sorority women, who walked behind the men and donated to the cause, the students were able to raise $1,000.

“We had a lot of sorority girls and nonaffiliates come, and they walked behind the guys to show that while we were supporting them, putting on high heels and walking in their shoes, they were supporting us,” Hartzell said. “It was one big support system.”

IFC officials wanted to spotlight a cause

they believe does not get enough attention from media and the public, Hartzell said.

“I think people are scared to talk about rape and sexual assault,” he said. “And to be able to do something kind of lighthearted can open up the door to be able to talk about rape and sexual assault.”

One of the biggest challenges for the men involved was actually walking in the heels, said Phil Korba, IFC’s activities chair.

“It was my first time walking in heels and probably my last time,” he said. “I was doing pretty well at the beginning, but toward the end, my ankle started giving out and I just said, ‘Guys, we’re having a problem.’”

Hartzell said walking down the campus’ main hill was his biggest struggle.

“Walking down that hill in high heels was terrible,” Hartzell said. “I don’t know how girls do it.”

Korba said he worked with many different outlets to publicize the event, including visiting sorority houses to discuss it and even appearing on television.

Despite the rise in participation from the year before and numerous attempts to publicize the event, Korba said it was still a struggle to get men to sign up. In the future, Korba said, he hopes that more men from the fraternities will be eager to participate.

“We put a lot of PR into this thing, and I don’t understand why more guys didn’t want to participate,” Korba said. “We need to figure out how to make it more approachable so guys will like it better.”

Regardless of the lack of the enthusiasm on the part of some of the men, Korba said he feels the event has an important purpose.

“It’s a great event to show women that guys really do care,” Korba said. “It’s not just the girls that are the only ones that are affected by rape and assault. It’s also their families and friends, the people who care most about them.

We thought it would be a great way to show women that we care, and we want to stand up against the men who do that.”

cussed among political contenders has been President Barack Obama’s decision to not allow the production of the Keystone Pipeline System.

Williams said she strongly supports Obama’s stance.

“These are issues of water, issues of public land,” Williams said. “We all certainly have a lot at stake with this presidential election.”

In fact, she was one of the protesters who surrounded the White House on Nov. 6 to raise

awareness about the nature risks involved in the project.

“I have committed civil disobedience more times than I like to admit regarding these issues,” she said.

During her visit to SU, Williams said she is looking forward to hearing the voices of students and what they are passionate about.

“All these ideas are interconnected,” she said. “I’m interested to see what students have

to say and how we can all make a difference.”

Gray said Williams writes using an ethical stance toward life. She has advocated for women’s health issues before Congress and has been a guest at the White House.

Said Gray: “I challenge anyone to read any of her articles, or better yet, come hear her speak tomorrow and not go away with questions and much to ponder and think about.”

“This is our first college press conference ever,” said Courtney, referring to the four reporters across from him. “This feels much more serious, like the athletic press conferences where you have glasses of water, your logo on the

The bandmates, longtime friends who grew up together in Bridgewood, N.J., joked around before the show.

Bassist Alex Bleeker, dressed in flannel and a moss green hat, said they were friends with indie-punk group Titus Andronicus, the headliner for

As the concert approached, the band members, all dressed in plaid shirts and tight jeans, slapped hands with one another and walked through the door.

Indie acts to enliven alternative music scene with concert

By Rob Marvin STAFF WRITER

Thursday evening, Syracuse’s thriving alternative music scene will surface as three emerging bands shake the walls of the Schine Underground.

The show, co-sponsored by student-run radio station WERW and the Syracuse University chapter of Music and Entertainment Industry Student Association, will show-

case three different groups: Titus Andronicus, Caveman and local favorite The Vanderbuilts.

Titus Andronicus

Where: Schine Underground When: Thursday, March 29. Doors open at 7 p.m., show starts at 7:30 p.m.

How much: $4 with SU/ESF ID, $5 general public at Schine Box Office

Jeanette Wall, WERW general manager, is excited about the line up and finding new ways to reach out to listeners.

“We are in the business of booking our favorite bands and the favorites of our listeners,” said Wall, a junior in the Bandier Program for Music and the Entertainment Industries. “Titus is one of the best performances I’ve ever seen.

They’re really an amazing band.”

The two organizations teamed up because they share similar models for putting on concerts, said MEISA President Lucas Sacks. WERW reached out to Titus Andronicus, and MEISA brought in Caveman through an industry connection.

“We felt that putting our heads and resources together would create a better experience for the student body,” said Sacks, a senior in the Bandier Program and staff writer for

The Daily Orange.

The headliner for the show is Titus Andronicus. Rolling Stone magazine included these New Jersey rockers in its list of the seven best new bands of 2010. Their second album, “The Monitor,” roars with the passionate folk lyrics of lead singer Patrick Stickles while the background pulses with feverish guitar riffs and drumbeats. They

Defy lack of income, invent crafty ways to place money into your bank account

S

ummer looms closer, and I can feel the freedom from exams, early mornings and dining hall food on its way. But as I apply for summer internships, one thing stands out on every application: the words “unpaid position.”

Starting out hopeful, I applied to a few places offering a salary. And 15 internship applications later, desperation kicked in. I don’t need to be paid, just hire me. I’ll work for free. I’ll pay you.

But that may be a problem. Between housing, food and impulsive purchases of brightly colored sneakers — I really needed those orange Converse sneakers — my finances are withering. It doesn’t look like I’ll see much cash flow this summer either.

And then it hit me: I know how to get rich.

The golden ticket is bird puke.

Recently, I stumbled upon a show about exotic foods on the Food Network and watched a guy eat anything that sat still on his plate long enough. It was an uncomfortable viewing experience, but I discovered that in parts of Asia, people pay more than $200 for a dish called “Bird’s Nest.”

Although it is a delicacy in China, I was flabbergasted by the exorbitant prices paid to eat something made from bird vomit.

But it got me thinking. If people are willing to pay hundreds of dollars to eat something previously digested by a bird’s stomach, then there is no foreseeable limit to other weird things people will pay for. As someone who once bought a stuffed rabbit with a moustache, trust me. Weird buyers are out there.

Anyone can make money if they get creative and shameless. And I know just how to do it.

First of all, become an eBay mogul. People will literally buy anything from the Internet. There is currently a rock priced at $1.25 million because it looks like a piece of barbequed pork. Tree roots are sold as “art,” and empty Rolo wrappers have gone for 10 bucks a pop. I’m roughly estimating a solid

no pants, no problem $ 300 coming my way for the candy wrappers in my room right now.

If selling trash like your old Nickelback CDs doesn’t work out — don’t worry, it didn’t work for them either — you can always invent something useless and convince people they need it.

For example, Amazon sells squirrel underwear at $6 each. That’s underwear for squirrels. You can’t be the only house on the block with pantless squirrels anymore.

Anyone can invent something useless. I think my excess candy wrappers can be this generation’s pet rocks. Life isn’t worth living without the companionship of a plastic, purple Starburst friend.

And if neither pans out, there’s a solid standby that has stood the test of time: eating things for money. People love to watch others test their digestive limits, as shown through the popularity of shows like “Fear Factor.” I used to give my friend $1 per sheet of paper he ingested. Everyone has that friend who would eat the million-dollar pork rock for 15 bucks.

I know I’m not alone in facing the harsh reality of unpaid internships. But there are no reasons to let lack of funds hold you back from your dream job, even if you have to put lingerie on squirrels to get there.

BANDERSNATCH FROM PAGE 9

Real Estate headlined the second Bandersnatch Music Series concert of the spring semester, sponsored by University Union. Syracuse natives Half Sister opened the show.

The crowd of fewer than 100 got to their feet as the local opener took the stage. Sarah Aument, lead singer of Half Sister, belted the first note of “Long Road” with a wide smile.

Aument, a senior television, radio and film major, accomplished a rare feat during the set: Her lyrics were clearly audible in the Schine Underground. Singers’ voices are often lost in the low ceilings of the Schine Underground, but hers was crisp and recognizable.

Half Sister’s set felt much like a bar show, only missing the stench of spilt beer and the flickering lights of wall-mounted televisions.

The crowd, although seemingly engaged as they tapped their feet, talked over the music.

The band continued to play as a walking bass line led into “The River.” Half Sister thanked fans for their continuous support and announced that they will release a new EP by the end of spring.

“I’ve been listening to Sarah Aument’s band for three years, and I really like the direction they’ve gone in with Half Sister,” said Paul Esposito, a first-year graduate student at the State University of New York College of Envi-

Students continued trickling into the Schine Underground as Real Estate’s set approached.

The crowd grew to nearly 200 fans. The band staggered onto the stage, sporting its buttondown shirts and nerdy glasses. Several phones popped up from the masses to capture the first moments of Real Estate’s first-ever show at

played at both Coachella and Lollapalooza in 2011.

Then in 2012, Titus Andronicus performed with Caveman at South by Southwest, an annual music, film and interactive conference and festival in Austin, Tezas. Caveman is a Brooklyn, N.Y. band that released their first album, “CoCo Beware,” in November. This mesmerizing record features instrumental melodies and soothing, harmonious vocals.

“We are really excited to see how people react to Caveman, who are still relatively small but growing rapidly,” Sacks said. “We’re also excited just to see the concert ourselves and have fun.”

Both organizations agreed the perfect local band to open the show was The Vanderbuilts,

Fans let out noises of distress and disappointment. Appearing to sense it was too soon to talk about the team’s loss, Bleeker assured the crowd that he wanted SU to win. He then took the lead vocals for the next song, “Wonder Years.”

Real Estate stayed completely at ease during the show. Occasionally, the band members exchanged dazed stares until they broke out in laughter. They handled the Schine Underground like true college show veterans. They’ve played college shows every semester for the past two and a half years, so they remained unfazed by the shrill screech occasionally dispelled through the PA system.

Before the show, the band spoke about jam sessions that eventually developed into some of its new songs. Real Estate displayed its ability to improvise through its extended version of allinstrumental song “Kinder Blumen.”

Proud of their suburban roots, the members said they draw inspiration from their lives as typical, awkward teenagers in the suburbs of New Jersey.

“We say we’re from the suburbs so people who listen to music similar to us could get into us and don’t think we’re some far off, nonrelatable weird people,” lead guitarist Matthew Mondanile said.

The crowd sighed in disappointment when the band announced its last song, but quickly recovered. Nearly everyone danced along to “Younger than Yesterday.” It came to a close, and the band members placed their instruments gently on the

floor, took a small bow and left the stage.

Joe Ahern, a junior in the Bandier Program, believes the concert can have a meaningful effect on the local music scene.

“I think oftentimes, the Syracuse music scene is separated from the university itself,” he said. “Whenever an act comes here with mainstream and alternative popularity, it gives the university an opportunity to be an ambassador of good music for the community.”

Sacks believes the concert will present students with a unique musical experience.

“Supporting local or new music really exposes people to so many more options and new artists,” he said. “Being open to new music is an attitude many should adopt if they haven’t already.”

Most members of Real Estate juggle duties within their indie band and numerous side projects. Here are some of the projects they tackle on the side: •Guitarist Matthew Mondanile has a solo beach pop project called Ducktails, combining the hazy instrumentals of Real Estate with more psychedelic leanings.

•Mondanile is also a member of soft-rock jam band Predator Vision with former Real Estate drummer Etienne Pierre Duguay and a member in The Parasails, a synthesizer-driven project.

•Bassist Alex Bleeker delves into classic rock influences with a solo project of his own: Alex Bleeker and the Freaks.

Although it is considered his own effort, two members of his backing band are also part of Real Estate: Mondanile and singer Martin Courtney. He has also released music sans the Freaks under his own name.

Following suit of blockbuster adaptations, ‘The Hunger Games’ sparks success with dynamic cinematography

W

By Daniel Taroy STAFF WRITER

here there’s a book, there’s a movie. That’s the takeaway from the success of eight “Harry Potter” movies and the impending success of the final “Twilight” installment set to hit theaters this fall.

As evidenced by those two literary phenomena, there’s usually a fan base prepared to consume the next adaptation, whether it’s actually good or unsurprisingly bad. Thankfully, “The Hunger Games” falls into the former camp and sets a high standard for book-to-movie adaptations.

This might be because Suzanne Collins’s dystopian trilogy reads more like an action movie than typical young adult fiction. The Gary Ross-directed film takes many cues from its source material, translating Collins’ rapid writing style into moments of relentless action that make the two and a half hour runtime fly.

“The Hunger Games” is a pop culture phenomenon, inspiring two sequels and merchandise that runs the gamut from unofficial cookbooks to nail polish lines. For anyone who’s been living in a cave, here’s a breakdown: the Hunger Games are a fictional event in which the 12 districts of the country Panem must offer two tributes — one boy and one girl under the age of 18 — for a televised fight to the death. The protagonist Katniss Everdeen, a 16-year-old huntress from District 12, volunteers to take her younger sister’s place in the competition.

For a premise involving children violently killing each other, it’s a wonder that “The Hunger Games” squeaked by with anything less than an R rating. And it’s an even greater wonder that it stays true to its gladiatorial spirit despite its sanitization. Most violence is only implied off-screen.

Under Ross’ direction, “The Hunger Games” doesn’t look or feel like a big studio movie, even in the glossy Capitol. With quieter movies such as “Pleasantville” and “Seabiscuit” under his belt, Ross adds an intimate sensibility that helps its larger-than-life story remain grounded.

However, he shows surprising deftness with action sequences. The opening moments of the games, particularly well-executed with swift cutaways and shaky camera techniques, prove that imagination, and not gore, can be more effective at relaying the emotional weight of children killing children.

Self-reliant, unapologetic and decisively unboy-crazy, Katniss is the antithesis to Kristen Stewart’s Bella Swan, whose frozen-faced apathy wouldn’t afford her any favors in the Games arena. As the narrator of the books, Katniss takes center stage. Played by Jennifer Lawrence, her performance as Katniss is easily the best part of the movie. She carries the film effortlessly, tackling the role with the same rawness and austerity she demonstrated in her Oscar-nominated performance in “Winter’s Bone.” She played a similar character: a selfsufficient teenager who must endure life-anddeath stakes while providing for her dependent siblings and ineffectual mother.

Liam Hemsworth appears as Katniss’ best

friend Gale Hawthorne, while Josh Hutcherson plays Peeta Mellark, her fellow District 12 tribute and competitor. In this “Twilight” era of love triangles and one-note male characters, “The Hunger Games” is refreshingly absent of romantically charged storylines — save for the one Katniss and Peeta feign for television audiences in the film.

Otherwise, they are more than just potential love interests; Peeta is a sympathetic foil for Katniss’ occasional coarseness, while Gale’s role expands significantly as a friend to the heroine.

Much like the “Harry Potter” franchise, “The Hunger Games” showcases multiple heavyweight talents in supporting roles. Elizabeth Banks is pitch-perfect as gaudy Effie Trinket, and Lenny Kravitz’s resistance to play anyone other than himself works for Katniss’ subtle stylist, Cinna. Woody Harrelson, however, is a little too nice and composed to be District 12’s resident drunk and mentor Haymitch.

The film maximizes screen time of the minor characters during Katniss and Peeta’s training montage. By the time the games roll about midway through the movie, it successfully presents the high stakes of the games.

Targeting the same demographic enamored by “Harry Potter” and “Twilight,” the movie is lightweight dystopian fare. But it’s a smart warning about the dangers of our entertainment-driven society. And with a kickass heroine to boot, “The Hunger Games” is a blockbuster worth rooting for. dataroy@syr.edu

less than five minutes left in the first half after point guard Rachel Coffey drained a deep 3-pointer and Hemingway made a layup.

Syracuse gave up the lead quickly, though, and James Madison went into halftime ahead 33-31.

“I think that early in the first half, we didn’t do a very good job of capitalizing on our opportunities in the paint,” Hillsman said. “We got a lot of shots around the rim and just didn’t make shots around the rim.”

One of the top rebounding teams in the country, the Orange crashed the boards hard for a total of 51 rebounds in the game but met its match in the Dukes, as they finished with 49.

James Madison won the game at the freethrow line, finishing with 23 points from the stripe on 21 SU personal fouls. While JMU was going to the line frequently, the Orange did not get there as much.

“They made shots in the second half, and they got to the free-throw line,” Hillsman said. “They shot 30 free throws, we shot 15. That’s our game, getting to the line and making shots. … I feel like we should’ve gotten a lot more opportunities at the foul line, but it just didn’t go our way.”

The Orange gained some separation coming out of halftime when two consecutive 3s from Hall keyed a 12-4 SU run that gave it a 43-37 lead.

But James Madison regained control and went on multiple runs. The most notable was when Kirby Burkholder scored six straight points to push the Dukes ahead 61-55.

Syracuse stayed in the game, though, and a three-point play from Alexander pulled the

Syracuse’s season ended as the ball fell to the floor.

Though his team’s year came to a crushing end, Hillsman said he was proud of the Orange for the way it played down the stretch. It won four straight games to get to the WNIT semifinals for the first time in program history.

When the Orange’s season hit a rough patch late in the year, his players continued to fight.

Overall, that’s all he could’ve asked for.

“It got to a point where our kids could’ve really packed it in and they never did,” Hillsman said.

“They kept fighting, they kept playing hard. They got to the NIT, they played with a purpose.” cjiseman@syr.edu

MEN’S L ACROSSE

SU intends on altering shot selection, break ‘bad habits’

By Chris Iseman ASST. SPORTS EDITOR

The frustration and regret sets in immediately.

As soon as Bobby Eilers takes a high shot, he knows the opposing goaltender is going to make the save. The goalie barely moves. His stick stays in one Who: Duke spot, and the ball Where: East Rutherford, N.J. lands right in the When: Sunday, 4 p.m. head of the stick.

Channel: ESPNU One poorly placed shot is a mistake. But several high shots are detrimental to Syracuse’s chances to win games.

“You need to keep changing it,” Eilers said.

“Coach will tell you as soon as you come to the sideline, your linemates will tell you. You know right away, as soon as you took that shot, it’s a bad shot. You know you have to change it up.”

Throughout the Orange’s last game against Villanova, an 11-10 loss, SU’s shooters rarely changed it up. They took high shots all game long, sending the ball right at the goaltender’s eye level for plenty of easy saves. The No. 14 Orange (4-3, 2-1 Big East) begins arguably the roughest part of its schedule starting with its game against No. 8 Duke (8-3, 1-1 Atlantic Coast Conference) at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J., at 4 p.m. Sunday. Changing the plane on shots will be critical for Syracuse to turn its season around.

After the setback against the Wildcats, SU head coach John Desko was at a loss for words. He couldn’t explain why his players repeatedly fired high shots. Desko said they talked about it during the game, but it didn’t result in smarter decisions.

Outside of taking the shots himself, there wasn’t much Desko could do.

On Tuesday, Desko said the problem is rooted in the “bad habits” of several players, which makes it especially difficult to change the way they shoot.

The head coach said when the team spoke about it at halftime against Villanova, the players said they would never take a high shot again.

Then they continued to fire high shots in the second half.

“That’s frustrating. It’s frustrating for the players, it’s frustrating for us,” Desko said. “We had some very good opportunities and to lose the game by one and have those kinds of shots, those are some bad habits there.”

The Orange’s poor shooting has been magnified with two losses in its last three games. And

UP NEXT

when Syracuse loses games by one or two goals as it did to Villanova, the importance of changing up the angle of those shots can’t be ignored.

The Orange had the chance to tie the game at 11 with 55 seconds left against the Wildcats as JoJo Marasco sprinted toward the crease and quickly stopped to shoot. But he shot high, and Villanova goalie Dan Gutierrez stayed in one spot in the cage to make the save.

Midfielder Ryan Barber said it can be tough to really think about a shot before taking it because of how fast the game moves. That means in practice, Desko and the SU coaches have to repeatedly remind the Orange’s shooters to try different shots to constantly keep the goaltender guessing.

“I think that’s why he’s been drilling it into our heads so much just because it’s such a fastpaced game,” Barber said, “and there’s not a lot

“We just need to really, in the game situation, change the plane of that shot and get that goal because we’re making every goalie look like an all-star at this point.”

of time for thought, so there’s a reason he drills it into our heads.”

In Syracuse’s last four games, opposing goaltenders are making an average of 12.75 saves per game. It started at St. John’s, where the Orange barely won 9-8 to avoid a huge upset loss. Red Storm goaltender Jeff Lowman was a force between the pipes at times, making several stellar stops, but SU’s shooters also gave him plenty of easy saves.

As SU starts the second half of its schedule Sunday, taking better-placed shots is going to be a key focus, as it is a problem that could keep costing Syracuse wins.

“In practice, we’ve been trying to change planes, too,” Eilers said, “but we just need to really, in the game situation, change the plane of that shot and get that goal because we’re making every goalie look like an all-star at this point.” cjiseman@syr.edu

GALLOWAY FROM PAGE 20

Konica Minolta Big City Classic at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J., at 4 p.m. Sunday.

“At some point in time, your playing days in college have to end, and I was fortunate enough to stay in the sport,” Galloway said. “… Obviously I miss everything at Syracuse. I’m always going to bleed Orange, but I took the next step, and I’m really enjoying the coaching ranks.”

A year removed from finishing his illustrious career at Syracuse, where he spent all four seasons as the Orange’s starting goaltender, the 23-year-old now spends his time mentoring the Blue Devils’ goalies. He also plays professionally for the Rochester Rattlers of Major League Lacrosse.

But the NCAA’s all-time winningest goalie’s roots haven’t deserted him. Everything he learned during his life in Syracuse, he has carried with him to Durham, N.C. And that knowledge has earned him ultimate respect from his players.

“He’s one of the best goalies to play in college, so he knows what he’s talking about,” Duke starting goaltender Dan Wigrizer said, “It’s great being able to trust your coach, and whatever he says I believe he’s right. It’s easy to listen to him. We have a real great relationship. I trust whatever he says, and he’s helped a lot in every aspect of my game.”

When Galloway stepped in, he instantly filled one of the Blue Devils’ most pressing needs. Duke’s goaltenders never had the privilege of learning under a coach who specialized in the position.

Last season, Duke assistant coach Ron Caputo worked with the goaltenders. His expertise was limited to the fundamentals due to his lack of playing experience in goal.

When Wigrizer, a junior, began hearing rumors that Galloway could be joining the

MEN’S L ACROSSE coaching staff, he knew the unit would receive an immediate boost.

“He obviously has a lot of experience as a player and that experience as a player, just graduating last year, really helps him with coaching,” Wigrizer said. “It really helps us goalies because he knows where we’re coming from. He understands how we’re feeling and the mental aspect of goalies, which is huge.”

Syracuse goaltender Matt Lerman knew Galloway was going to be a capable coach from what he saw in competition the last two seasons. Gal-

“He’s one of the best goalies to play in college, so he knows what he’s talking about. It’s great being able to trust your coach, and whatever he says I believe he’s right.

It’s easy to listen to him.”

Dan Wigrizer

DUKE GOALTENDER

loway knows the intricacies of every position.

And he was never afraid to speak his mind on the backline, letting defenders know what they were doing right or wrong.

That communication level is necessary to succeed in the coaching ranks.

“Even when he played here he was always like a coach. He knows everything about the game, the ins and outs from every position,” Lerman said “… He understands every aspect of lacrosse, and he’s such a kind guy and so informative and so helpful in passing on his

m arch 29, 2012

knowledge to his teams that I’m sure it’s the same way with his players now.”

After the opening practices in the fall, Wigrizer knew the goaltenders would rapidly improve as the season progressed. Galloway implemented a slew of unique drills and exercises in practice to work on all the areas of the goalies’ games.

That meticulous approach to coaching was something Galloway learned while playing under Syracuse assistant coach Kevin Donahue with the Orange and at West Genesee. Galloway deploys similar tactics with his players.

“Every drill that I do, all the things that I say, you can kind of hear him saying in my playing days,” Galloway said. “I’ve had such a great wealth of knowledge because of those guys that I’ve been able to carry it over here to my coaching at Duke.”

Galloway’s coaching has been tested throughout the season. After Wigrizer suffered a concussion in practice after Duke’s 7-3 loss to Notre Dame on Feb. 18, Galloway needed to implement certain strategies to ensure Duke’s backup goalies rose to the occasion.

Fifth-year senior Mike Rock and freshman Kyle Turri split the duties between the pipes in place of the injured Wigrizer. Each goaltender registered two wins during their stints in net.

Rock said he has seen definite improvements in the unit’s focus and capabilities under Galloway.

17

“In practice, we’re playing 1,000 times better than we were in practice last year,” Rock said. “I think it’s going to translate to the games soon. I think as a group we’re more confident knowing that we have a really good coach who’s in our corner and knows exactly what we’re going through and how to play the best we can.”

Wigrizer returned against Loyola two weeks later and has played the entirety of Duke’s last two games, including a 10-save performance in the Blue Devils’ 9-8 victory over Brown on Tuesday.

But the other two goalies’ performances have given Galloway confidence in the entire unit.

“We’re a pact,” Wigrizer said. “Every single practice everybody is helping each other get better and when the game comes who’s ever been playing better that week and can help the team win, that’s the goalie that’s going to play.”

On Sunday, Galloway will take the field against his alma mater for the first time. After four seasons in net for the Orange, he hopes he can help turn the game in Duke’s favor as a coach.

And for the first time in his life, Galloway will be rooting against Syracuse.

“For those two hours, like I said, it’s going to be competitive,” Galloway said. “I’m going to do everything I can to make sure the Duke guys are as prepared as I can make them and just enjoy the moment. It’s going to be tough, though.” adtredin@syr.edu

John Galloway joined Duke’s coaching staff as a volunteer assistant coach this season after finishing his Syracuse career as the winningest goaltender in NCAA history. Three goalies have played extended time at the position for the Blue Devils this season.

Orange refocuses heading into Big East play

By David Propper

Saco walk-off single rescued the Orange from a potentially major bump in the road. After the game, senior catcher Lacey Kohl said she and her teammates weren’t happy with what transpired, even in a win.

“I don’t want to say disappointed because disappointed is a strong word,” Kohl said. “We just know that we’re a much better team that showed up on Saturday. … I don’t think we showed up to play by any means.”

Because the Orange didn’t show up Saturday, it got back to work Monday.

With the entire team in attendance, Kohl said SU slowed things down while still turning up the intensity. The Orange got back to focusing on the fundamentals of the game, and if the team didn’t do something the right way, it ran sprints and did push-ups.

“We were all scared because we know what it means if we mess up,” Kohl said. “We run.”

It was a reminder from Ross that to play well in every minute of every game the team needed to keep focused, regardless of the competition.

Lisaira Daniels said she and her teammates still have the goal of making a deep postseason run on their minds, but it helps when the coaches remind them of that agenda.

“It was getting back on that goal,” Daniels said. “… It’s different when you hear it from

Wally King warned his Syracuse players they would return to “top-25 practices.”

After narrowly escaping with a win over a lowly Canisius team, the SU associate head coach Who: St. John’s (DH) knew it was time Where: Queens for the Orange to When: Saturday, noon snap back into it.

For King, it starts with returning to hard work between games.

“I think Saturday was a close enough game that required us to turn it back on,” SU head coach Leigh Ross said.

With Big East play rapidly approaching, Syracuse needs to flip the switch back on during practices. Ross felt the team was going through the motions and the energy level needed to rise.

And with the excuse of constant travel the team faced at the start season in the books, Ross decided it was time to push the Orange like she did in the preseason. The end result is a reenergized squad that will take on St. John’s in a slate of three games this weekend on the road to open Big East play.

But against Canisius, SU almost didn’t win a game it should have won easily. A Kelly

your coach.”

That agenda brings Syracuse to conference play this weekend. Daniels sees the team as underdogs for another season. In the preseason conference poll, the Orange was voted to finish second behind DePaul, despite the fact that SU topped the Blue Demons last year in the Big East tournament.

To Daniels, it was a slap in Syracuse’s face.

But Daniels isn’t concerned with proving Syracuse is the best team in the conference.

To prove it’s better than teams like DePaul, Louisville and South Florida, the senior outfielder knows the Orange must take care of business against weaker teams like the Red Storm this weekend.

St. John’s is just 12-19 on the season and has lost three of its last five games. The last time Syracuse played St. John’s in the regular season was during the 2010 season, in which the Orange won both games of the doubleheader.

Regardless of SU’s past success, it still can’t take inferior competition for granted like it did against Canisius on Saturday.

“The Colgates and the Canisiuses, we’ve got to beat those teams,” Daniels said. “We can’t play at their level. We always have to stick with our level. We’re a great team.”

Without playmaker Tumolo due to red card, Syracuse takes on Harvard

By Stephen Bailey

East) travels to Foxborough, Mass., Saturday to take on Harvard (4-4, 1-2 Ivy League) at noon in the first-ever women’s collegiate game in Gillette Stadium history. Kailah Kempney will replace Tumolo in the starting lineup and another rookie, Gabby Jaquith, will see extended minutes playing above the crease.

Kempney and Jaquith will be part of a joint effort to fill the void left by SU’s offensive captain. This will be Kempney’s first game since Feb. 29 after she suffered an injury in the second half of Syracuse’s game against Northwestern.

So as one of Gait’s offensive components returns, another is relegated to the sidelines.

“Lacrosse is about making adjustments, and this is just as if it were an injury. We’re ready to make that adjustment,” Gait said.

Tumolo leads SU with 15 assists and 32 points on the season. But 10 other players have found the back of the net this season, and four of them have scored at least 10 times.

Webster churned out three scores in SU’s overtime loss to the top-ranked Northwestern.

Freshman Devon Collins is turning heads, tied for third on the team with 14 scores.

And throughout the season, each member of the Orange offense has shown a willingness to

As disheartening as it was, Michelle Tumolo’s impulsive eruption was at least timely for her and the Orange.

When: Saturday, noon to the referee.

The official issued Tumolo a red card, causing her immediate ejection from the game and suspension from the Orange’s next matchup. Fortunately for SU, that opponent is one of the few unranked opponents on its nonconference schedule.

“She admitted to me after that she made a play that wasn’t a smart one,” SU head coach Gary Gait said. “… Hopefully she’s learned her lesson, and I think it was a great lesson for her to learn as a young athlete that you can’t go around retaliating and expecting to get something good out of it.”

move the ball and work to find open space.

Sophomore attack Alyssa Murray is confident her teammates will find a way to compensate for their leader’s absence.

“Well, we definitely are going to miss her a lot on the field, her presence and just the energy that she brings,” Murray said. “But I think that we’re going to just go around some of her strengths because we’re not going to be able to fill that void.”

Webster may see a few more isolation sets, and the Orange might look to find Kempney cutting through the middle of the defense more often, Murray said.

But Murray herself is arguably the Orange’s top offensive threat aside from Tumolo.

She tallied a program-record eight goals against Boston College and seven goals against UConn — SU’s two highest single-game totals this season.

But in the past two years, Murray said she’s only ever played up top with Tumolo. Their chemistry, give-and-go combinations and backdoor cuts won’t be options for the SU offense for a week.

Instead, Murray plans to fill her mentor’s role as someone capable of both scoring and

facilitating the ball.

And with the left-handed Jaquith filling in for Tumolo, who’s one of the best lefties in college lacrosse, Gait said the Orange offense can operate in a similar fashion.

“We’re very fortunate that we’re one of the few teams in the country to have lefties at all,” Gait said. “… The good thing is we do have people who can fill that in there and fill the lefty position, so we’re a lot better off than a lot of other teams would be in this situation.”

Playing without Kempney against top-five opponents Florida and Maryland, the Orange flourished with a pair of one-goal victories.

Without Tumolo, Gait envisions a similar result, believing the adversity will push the rest of the Orange to step up.

“Sometimes adversity helps your team rise to the occasion, and I think there’s going to be a lot of players playing out there that love Michelle’s leadership and what she brings to this team,” Gait said. “They’re going to want to make sure that when she’s not playing that they step up their games a bit to help fill the void for her.”

Switching goals

SU, Temple set to play at MSG in 2012

By Mark Cooper SPORTS EDITOR

steve rock | duke sports information (CENTER) JOHN GALLOWAY became a Duke volunteer assistant coach this fall, a year after becoming the NCAA’s all-time winningest goaltender at Syracuse last season. The Blue Devils goaltenders are yielding 9.1 goals against per game through 11 games this season.

Syracuse and Temple are headlining teams for the first Gotham Classic next season. The Orange and Owls will play each other at Madison Square Garden on Dec. 22.

The format for the new event has both teams playing home games against three teams, beginning Dec. 15. Those three teams travel to Syracuse and Temple to play games leading up to the matchup in New York City.

Syracuse played in the NIT Season Tip-Off this past season, winning both semifinal and championship games at MSG. The Orange is 89-72 all-time at the arena.

The other teams competing in the Gotham Classic will be announced at a later date.

Temple made the NCAA Tournament this past season as a No. 5 seed, but lost in the second round to No. 12 South Florida. The Owls won the Atlantic 10 in the regular season and finished the year 24-8. They are coached by Fran Dunphy, who has taken Temple to five NCAA Tournaments in six years.

Syracuse has a 16-13 record alltime against Temple, last playing the Owls on March 28, 2002, in the NIT consolation game. Temple won that meeting, 65-54, in MSG. Temple is joining the Big East for football next season, but it does not join for all sports until 2013. mcooperj@syr.edu

Former SU goaltender Galloway begins coaching career at Duke

ohn Galloway instructed his players to turn their sticks upside down. He lofted the ball softly from a few yards out, hoping his goaltenders would save it to the ground without allowing the ball to bounce outside the crease.

It’s one of the many drills Galloway runs in an effort to try and make the Duke goaltenders as versatile as possible. This one improves handeye coordination.

This is Galloway, the coach.

One of the most celebrated goaltenders in NCAA lacrosse history, Galloway spent his entire life in Syracuse,

capturing three Section III titles at West Genesee High School and two national championships in four years at Syracuse. After last season, the lifelong Syracuse native reached the end of the road at home. With no vacancies in the Syracuse coaching staff and a desire to remain in lacrosse, he had no choice but to leave his hometown.

After meeting with Duke head coach John Danowski at the spur of the moment to inquire about a coaching position, Galloway joined the Blue Devils as a volunteer assistant coach last fall. He will stand on the opposite sideline from the Orange when Syracuse faces the Blue Devils in the

Orange’s season ends with loss to James Madison in WNIT semifinals

The shots around the rim weren’t falling, but Quentin Hillsman held out hope.

If Syracuse could keep getting JAMES MADISON 74 those looks, then the SYRACUSE 71 Orange head

coach remained confident they’d fall eventually and SU would cruise into the Women’s National Invitation Tournament championship game.

“When you get the shots you want, and you’re playing at the rim and you have the opportunities,” Hillsman said in a phone interview Wednesday, “it’s really encouraging because

you know that you can get the shots you want and hope that at some point it will fall.”

But those shots never fell as much as Syracuse needed them to, and the Orange’s season ended in a crushing 74-71 loss to James Madison in the WNIT semifinals Wednesday in front of a raucous crowd of 4,008
