THIRSTY thursday | labatt blue canadian pilsener

Labatt Blue serves up cheap, simple brew

By Max Darrow staff writer

This week’s beer is definitely an upstate New York classic: the Labatt Blue Canadian Pilsener.

You can find it at nearly any supermarket or corner store in the area.

Hailing from Canada, this imported pilsner is pretty solid.

I’ve had my fair share of Labatt Blues, from bottles to pint glasses.

For the purpose of this review, I decided to drink one straight from the can because chances are, that’s how the majority of readers will try one.

The can is a recognizable royal blue with bold white font. There is a distinguishable red maple leaf on the can, emphasizing that it was made in Canada. After cracking it open and taking a smell, nothing really stands out. Overall, it’s pretty mellow. I had to look for something distinct, and nothing jumped except a hint of sweetness.

Labatt Blue is pretty tasty. I may be a bit biased, as it was the first beer I tried when I moved to Syracuse University. It has a bready taste to it, with a hints of corn mixed in. Putting those together, it has almost a dry corn-

bread taste — but not a sugary piece. On top of that, I also picked up a bit of a fruity sweetness to it again. But it wasn’t too sugary — it was more along the lines of a juicy piece of fruit.

The tasting experience is a bit different than most canned beers you’ll probably drink. Instead of being overly fizzy and watery, Labatt Blue has a very balanced feel to it. It doesn’t come on too strong, and doesn’t wash away too quickly.

Furthermore, it doesn’t have an overpowering taste making it a very easy beer to drink. A phrase I’d use to describe it is silky smooth. I know that sounds silly, but it has a thickness and body to it that most canned beers don’t have.

I would suggest drinking it outside during the warmer seasons.

If you haven’t tried a Labatt Blue already, go and get some next time you’re on a beer run. It would be an ideal Mayfest brew.

It may be a bit more expensive than Bud Light or Coors, but it’s worth it. It’ll go well with a lot of foods and in a lot of settings. With the weather warming up, Labatt Blue is a great beer to have during a tailgate or day party so check it out. midarrow@syr.edu

SU community remembers late student

By Michael Burke asst. news editor

Friends and past professors shed tears and shared memories on Wednesday evening of the late Britny Kabic at a memorial service dedicated to her.

A couple hundred Syracuse University community members gathered inside Hendricks Chapel for the service, which lasted about 30 minutes for Kabic, who died in Walnut Hall on Feb. 13. Kabic was a sophomore advertising major in the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications.

Those who spoke at the service included advertising professors

Beth Egan and Ed Russell, three of Kabic’s sorority sisters in Delta Delta Delta and two of her closest friends, Collin Brown and Lani Kineret. Others read poems and the a capella group Groovestand sang a song in remembrance of Kabic.

Russell told a story about Kabic’s parents visiting campus shortly after she died for a meeting with him and SU officials including Chancellor Kent Syverud and Newhouse Dean Lorraine Branham. Before her parents arrived, Russell said he “didn’t have a clue” what he was going to say to them.

But when they arrived, Kabic’s parents began sharing story after story about her — from memories

of her childhood to the moment she was accepted into Newhouse.

We didn’t have to say anything.

We just sat there and listened.

Ed Russell advertising professor at su

“We didn’t have to say anything,” Russell said. “We just sat there and listened. … The dean’s conference room was filled with love. That doesn’t happen often in

the dean’s conference room. It was an amazing, amazing experience.”

Later, three of Kabic’s floormates from last year read a poem titled “She is Gone.” One of Kabic’s sorority sisters read another poem and two others shared some of their fondest memories of Kabic.

Toward the end of the service, Kineret shared the story of the first time she met Kabic. It was in the fall semester of 2014, and they were at their first floor meeting of the year on the 20th floor of Lawrinson Hall.

The floor’s residential adviser had all of the residents participate in an ice-breaker game in which each person was asked to come up see memorial page 6

election 2016

Q&A: Professors discuss NY primary winners

By Sam Blum senior staff writer

Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump had resounding victories in the New York state primary on Tuesday night, with both races being called not long after they began.

The Daily Orange interviewed Kristi Andersen, a professor of political science at Syracuse University, via email; Christopher Faricy, an assistant professor of political science, via email; and Shana Gadarian, an assistant professor of political science, over the phone, about the primary results and what it means for the rest of the election.

The Daily Orange: The exit polls

showed that Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) was actually a lot closer than the final polling suggests.

What are some reasons that something like this could happen, and what might it be an indication of?

Kristi Andersen: The exit polls try to sample likely voters. Generally pollsters use voting history as a way of calculating likelihood of voting. But I suspect that many of the Sanders voters were not frequent or habitual voters, so that might explain a difference. But I would note that the margin of Clinton’s victory was just about

what the Marist and other polls picked up prior to Tuesday.

Christopher Faricy: Exit polls are designed to explain the reasons for why people voted not to predict election outcomes. After all the actual election results usually come in pretty quickly after the polls close.

Shana Gadarian: My guess is that the candidates kind of fell within the margin of error. They actually performed pretty close to what the poll says … To the extent that there are differences when politicians over-perform and under-perform, that’s usually about turnout. Saying that you like someone on a poll

is different than actually being registered to vote.

The D.O.: Hillary Clinton was quite successful in Onondaga County. Would that be considered a surprise?

K.A.: No. She does well among African-Americans, among other things. She also spent time in central New York and in Onondaga County during Bill Clinton’s presidency and her time as a New York State Senator — vacationing in Skaneateles, going to the State Fair, etc.

C.F.: Only a surprise in that she outperformed the polls throughout the state, including here. There see primary page 8

Syracuse University’s Blue Light Alarm System is being abused instead of used, according to a report from the University Senate Committee on Student Life.

Of the more than 10,000 times the lights were used, less than 12 of the instances were because students needed help, and only one incident was an emergency, the report states.

It’s unclear in the report if this accounts for all-time use or use in the last year. Department of Public Safety Chief Bobby Maldonado said there have been 154 blue lights installed on campus since the system was installed in the 1980s.

“The available blue lights today are constantly used in inappropriate ways by students who are neither in a dangerous situation nor in need of immediate help,” according to the report, which was sent see blue

gender and sexuality

Women’s decisions should be respected

B

oys will be boys. Or better said: boys will be narcissists.

Whether at a party or a local bar, everyone has seen the same scenario play out: Boy meets girl, girl couldn’t be less interested and boy doesn’t take too well to rejection.

Researchers at the University of Georgia recently conducted a study that found men with vulnerable narcissistic traits — which are characterized by high levels of self-esteem rooted in insecurity — were more likely to commit sexual assault using alcohol or other daterape drugs to incapacitate their victims. Of this demographic, roughly 20 percent of the students admitted to perpetrating some kind of sexual assault.

The study reflects a serious, but all too common phenomenon: rather than take rejection in stride, narcissistic men sometimes sentence women to sexual violence through coercive means. Women are often then blamed for their own assaults because there is the insinuation that girls reject guys too freely and without reason. So rather than assume that telling a man to back off is unwarranted and only used as an insult to bruise a man’s ego, narcissistic behavior should be taken as a warning sign that men need to reevaluate their behavior.

“No” does not leave room for convincing — women have agency to make their own romantic and sexual decisions. If a woman resorts to calling you out for being creepy due to a violation of personal boundaries, the shoe probably fits and it’s time to step away. And we have seen the results of this entitled mentality that pose a sexual threat to women’s well-being in college environments before.

The Greek community is often considered to be royalty at most colleges and this elitist attitude may lead some young men to believe that they can do no wrong. Men in fraternities are three times more likely to commit sexual assault, according to studies cited by CNN. Earlier this year, Wolfgang Ballinger, a student at

IVANA PINO WRITE LIKE A GIRL

Cornell University and president of Psi Upsilon’s Chi Chapter became another statistic when he was charged with first-degree attempted rape, first-degree criminal sexual act and first-degree sexual abuse. The victim reported that the assault took place within the fraternity house.

The incident at Cornell isn’t isolated, but is a part of a persistent trend within fraternity culture. Even at prestigious universities that are meant to set a certain standard for American institutions, rape culture is as alive as ever. Yes, there are incidents of sexual assault on every college campus. But when there are fraternity brothers at Yale University marching through campus yelling “no means yes, yes means anal” and a fraternity brother at Georgia Tech sending an email to his brothers called “Luring Your Rapebait,” it becomes clear that narcissism loves company.

These instances don’t mean that every fraternity member is a sexual offender and plotting to cause harm, but it isn’t OK to maintain the idea that this kind of conduct is tolerated, especially when it stems from elitism. No one should feel hesitant about attending an event at a fraternity house for fear that they may be violated and voiceless.

Another recent study conducted by researchers at Knox College concluded that men were more likely to be perceived as “creepy” than women because of a higher frequency of unpredictable personal advances. By the study’s definition, “creepy” individuals make others uneasy due to behaviors that are often correlated with sexual threats — an association women are more likely to make.

But the guy at DJ’s on the Hill that you thought was creepy shouldn’t have been so insulted

by the label. It turns out buckets and fishbowls aren’t at fault for the narcissistic nature of today’s youth of all genders, but increased low self-esteem and the need to rely on others for affirmation.

“It’s my understanding, that narcissism and its tamer cousin, individualism, are much more common in most men and women today than it has been in most previous decades,” said Lisa Wade, an associate professor of sociology at Occidental College and co-author of “Gender: Ideas, Interactions, Institutions.”

Though the “creepy” label might add insult to injury for both men and women in these situations, everyday gender interactions have proven the reality of male privilege. As shown in the University of Georgia’s study, when a narcissistic man’s ego takes a hard hit, they may quickly turn to any lengths in order to have their egos fulfilled even if that means taking advantage of another.

Whether on Marshall Street on a Friday night or walking past a car full of immature boys, we’ve all witnessed men who believe that whistling is the way to a woman’s heart. But, in all honesty, I’m not sure I’ve ever seen a lifelong romance begin with a cat-call.

While many may argue that studies like those conducted at the University of Georgia or Knox College are the biased experiments of a misandrist, the relationship between narcissism and sexual assault is undeniable when women’s bodies are no exception to a sense of entitlement.

With sexual assault being such a prominent issue on college campuses across the country, it’s important for men to learn how to respectfully handle rejection because narcissists finish last. So while fragility is a trait often used to describe women, it may be better used to describe the ego of men who disregard boundaries.

letter to the editor

DO reinforces unfair ‘FC’ practice rhetoric My name is Katherine Vroman and I am a fourth year doctoral student pursuing a degree in Disability Studies and a graduate research assistant at The Institute on Communication and Inclusion (ICI). I am writing in response to the recent articles centering on “facilitated communication” or “FC.” This past fall there were three articles released across national media outlets featuring a narrow narrative about facilitated communication. That narrative was echoed by the Daily Orange and purports that people with disabilities who type to communicate are not the authors of their own words and thus not worthy of consultation about their own lives. The D.O. articles lack not only the voices of individuals with disabilities who do utilize this communication strategy, but also read without the nuance that is vital to the complex considerations of how to encourage justice for individuals with disabilities in society.

Can you possibly imagine trying to exist in a world where you have no access to communication?

Where you have to prove your competence in every space you enter? Where you are deemed so far from human that a student newspaper can be goaded into writing a series of articles that dare to tell you something about your life — that your life isn’t a life worth living — without consulting you at all? The Daily Orange’s attempt at this kind of sensation-

alized journalism is, to use your own language, “inexcusable and concerning.” However, as I seek the ever-elusive motivation to push through my doctoral work, I am ironically thankful for the reminder that it’s necessary and important. SU has an uncompromising history of approaching education and access for individuals with disabilities from a social justice perspective that locates the “problem” not in people, but in society. We have a long way to go, but remain undeterred.

I am not naïve when it comes to the professional risk involved with deciding to pursue this work. I’ve been counseled by mentors throughout my field that hitching my career to this disciplinary niche may compromise my future employability.

Frankly, I don’t care. In a recent Education Review piece, James Paul Gee reflects on his career in academia, offering sage advice for young faculty and graduate students: “Pick only the battles really worth fighting for and fight them and them alone. How do you know which these are? They are the ones that when you really think about it are worth taking real risks of damage to yourself and your career for. They are the ones where winning means making the world a better place.”

This is one of those battles.

out April 13. The committee will discuss the report at next Wednesday’s USen meeting.

The report mentions blue light use as part of a larger analysis of safety on campus. Committee members met with DPS, the Syracuse Police Department and the Office of Off-Campus and Commuter Services in January to address burglaries and on-street assaults.

Sixty-four burglaries and four robberies were reported on SU main campus in 2014, according to DPS’s 2015 crime report. Many of these resulted from students leaving doors, windows and cars unlocked, the committee report states.

Based on their current use by students, adding more blue lights would not necessarily improve safety on campus, the report states.

This year isn’t the first time the university saw students using the blue light system irresponsibly. In 2011, DPS found that 1,043 of its 1,051 blue light calls were “false reports or pushes,” according to a 2012 Daily Orange article.

Still, the numbers surprised Student Life Committee Chair Jose Rosado. He said it’s a “perfect example” of why there needs to be better education on campus safety because

adelphia sports teams, bowling and the home exercise regimen P90X, among other things.

“But most importantly, she taught me about love,” Kineret said.

Standing next to Kineret as she spoke was Brown, another of Kabic’s closest friends.

Brown spoke glowingly of Kabic, saying that she had “an infectious joy” and that there was never a time when Kabic failed to brighten his day.

“On beautiful days like today, I know that Britny is behind all the sunshine, here for all of us and reminding us how to find the joy around us,” Brown said. mdburk01@syr.edu | @michaelburke47

students don’t understand what happens when they hit the button – with no actual emergency – and DPS responds.

“I was expecting there were going to be false alarms, but I would have never thought the numbers were going to be in the 5 digits,” Rosado said. “The fact that there are blue lights present makes students feel safe, and hopefully the students will see that this feeling of being safe off-campus won’t be possible because of the misuse of the equipment.”

Students also aren’t looking for safety information provided on SU websites themselves.

“Students do not seek and are often unaware of this information, and thus, new means of disseminating safety information must be found,” the report said.

Instead, the committee recommended that DPS and organizations such as the Student Association and the Graduate Student Organization develop digital safety public service announcements. The committee also promoted the further use of SU’s LiveSafe app, which was rolled out on campus last semester.

If those groups send out more online safety resources, the committee said it will assess how effective those resources are in an annual report. apalme05@syr.edu | @annierpalmer

URBAN LEGENDS Georgetown University students start urban culture website

By BreeAnna Poshek staff writer

T

wo students at Georgetown University have made it their agenda to create a central hub for all things related to urban culture with their website, Nous Culture.

“Nous” — as the young co-founders have defined it — is “a way of existing in the world where style and unconventional beauty are defining characteristics.”

The brand was developed by sophomore Jelani Williamson, an anthropology and economics dual major, and sophomore Zachary Currie, an Arabic studies major.

The two were brainstorming different ideas for how they could use their passions one day in Currie’s apartment and realized that they both had a mutual interest in urban culture, Williamson said.

He added that they talked about how much energy they had to put into finding more underground businesses and artists, which was one of the major inspirations in developing Nous Culture.

“Something that separates us is our commitment to grassroots culture,” Williamson said. “Some similar companies are a lot bigger than us but they lose themselves as they get bigger. It’s important to us that we remain a platform for up-in-coming people to promote their art and culture. We spend more resources doing the extensive research required to find out who those people are.”

Nous Culture has three main types of content that it is focusing on right now, Williamson said. The content includes articles that allow people to learn more about an up-and-coming star or business in the industry, articles that give insight into brands or companies that already exist and articles that focus on uncovering urban news, such as a story about an artist who recently dropped a collection that people may not know about.

Currie said the website’s followers are particularly drawn to look books. Look books are typically used by big clothing companies to promote new lines, he said, but Nous Culture has reinvented the idea to accommodate its focus on smaller businesses.

Instead of promoting one brand, the outfits showcased in Nous Culture’s look books have pieces from many small boutiques, he added.

The website currently has a lot of content on clothing brands and fashion, Currie said, but he added that he and Williamson are working on trying to expand it to include more features of urban culture, such as music artists and graphic designers. Getting in contact with individual artists has proven to be more difficult than reaching out to businesses, he said.

In fact, so far, Williamson said the businesses have been very responsive.

“When you’re an up-and-coming brand, you want to make yourself as visible and contactable as possible, so they’ve been really receptive to the idea of being featured on the website,” Williamson said. “The hard part isn’t finding the brands. The hard part is making sure the quality of their products is up to par and that their aesthetic fits in with our vision.”

Both Currie and Willamson said Nous Culture essentially markets itself after companies featured on the site share content to their followers, who end up following Nous Culture.

“That adds up to a big following because they get infused into our project,” Williamson said. “This has and will allow us to pull together a network of many different companies and their followings.” blposhek@syr.edu

CONGRATULATIONS GRADUATES!

Faculty discuss statewide shortage of K-12 teachers

By Katelyn Faubel staff writer

Live the dream.

NO FEE MANHATTAN APARTMENT RENTALS in New York’s best neighborhoods.

The School of Education at Syracuse University and colleges all over New York state are facing decreased enrollment from students who want to become teachers, causing a decrease in public classroom teachers in the state and a looming teacher shortage.

The number of public classroom teachers decreased by 8 percent statewide over the last decade, according to state data from the 201415 academic year. This decrease mirrors the issue that is taking place nationwide, said Joanna Masingila, dean of SU’s School of Education.

The School of Education has seen a decline in enrollment numbers, she said, but not as much as other schools that have to reduce their faculty by half.

“K-12 is very fundamental and society needs to recognize the critical need to educate its citizens,” Masingila said.

State data from the 2012-13 academic year shows that 5,029 State University of New York students earned their bachelor’s degree and were recommended to sit for certification exams. In the 2003-04 academic year, 7,190 students did the same thing, according to a March 7 Politico article.

Some school districts are coming to the School of Education to recruit students for their open teacher positions, said Kathleen Hinchman, associate dean for academic affairs in the School of Education. That set of actions is what Hinchman said shows the students that it could be a good thing to go into the teaching market.

“There has been some inappropriate finger-pointing to teachers for things they’re not totally responsible for, like test scores, which probably made some teachers want to retire early,” Hinchman said.

were a large number of college students who voted for Sanders but it was not enough to overcome Clinton’s support among black voters and more moderate Democrats.

S.G.: Usually we don’t know ahead of time with enough detail by the county to know what our expectations are … So you want to think about the demographics of the people that are favoring Sanders versus Clinton in other exit polls. So we’re saying Clinton is winning among voters 35 and over … she’s winning really big among African-American voters, among Latino voters. Sanders has the edge on younger voters and white liberals.

The D.O.: Is there any future significance for Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) doing so badly in New York? Obviously there wasn’t a high expectation for him, but does this loss really hurt his future chances?

K.A.: Yes, this probably does damage Cruz’s chances, small as they are. It’s not surprising that (Ohio Gov. John) Kasich would outperform Cruz in New York, however, as Republicans here are less conservative than in the states where Cruz has done well.

C.F.: The demographic obstacles that Cruz faced in New York will be repeated next Tuesday when other Northeastern states go to vote. In particular, these states have fewer evangelical and very conservative Republican voters that form Cruz’s base.

S.G.: Primaries are partially about meeting and beating expectations, which is extremely hard when you’re the front-runner. When you’re not expected to do well and you don’t do well, then you can say, “Well, I’m not in a worse position.” Not having gotten any del-

Secondary Education Act signed by Congress in 2015, issues such as teacher evaluations, standards and accountability would be left up to state and district rule. Hinchman said she thinks this will loosen up the field, because “we don’t want to discourage good people from becoming teachers.”

Hinchman said she thinks people are especially worried about fields in education that already have shortages, such as science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) programs; second language education; and literacy.

The School of Education has seen some decline in students who enroll in majors to be teachers. Hinchman said this decline is not more than the national average and “less than quite a few other schools in the state.”

George Theoharis, chair of SU’s Department of Teaching and Leadership in the School of Education, suspects there are two reasons that there will be a teacher shortage in the future.

The first is that there has been more conversation about the problems plaguing schools.

“K-12 schools aren’t above criticism, but think of the big picture. The pressure (on teachers) makes teaching a less attractive field,” Theoharis said.

The second reason was that after the recession hit in 2007 and 2008, jobs declined, teachers stopped retiring and there was less hiring. The big pendulum swing of that, he said, is that in the next four to five years, there will be a teacher shortage.

Theoharis said the School of Education has recently pushed to have more faculty and current students involved in the recruiting process.

“We really need to pay attention to how we can support teachers and realize that teachers can’t solve all societal problems in the classroom,” Masingila said. “Blaming teachers is not helpful at all. We have to work with teachers.” kmfaubel@syr.edu

egates makes the rest of the argument that he’s making about getting to the convention a little bit more difficult.

The D.O.: As a whole, what does this mean for the winners going forward? How important was the New York primary, and what do these blowouts signify?

K.A.: The New York results make Trump look pretty inevitable, though I’m still hoping for the first contested Republican convention since 1948. As for the Democrats, Nate Silver from FiveThirtyEight had calculated that Sanders needed to win New York by about nine pledged delegates to maintain the possibility of winning the nomination; instead he lost New York State by about 30 delegates. So these results seem to confirm the likelihood of Clinton’s nomination.

C.F.: Clinton moves closer to locking up the Democratic nomination, especially if the voting is this lopsided in Pennsylvania and Maryland. Trump increases his odds of getting to the magic delegate number of 1,237, which also decreases the probability of a brokered convention.

S.G.: In terms of yesterday, Clinton and Trump were the front-runners and today they still are the front-runners, that much hasn’t changed. I think it still seems like on the Republican side, there’s not going to be a decisive winner by the convention … And I don’t think if it gets to a contested convention that it actually benefits Trump. On the Democratic side it becomes clearer as Clinton’s lead becomes bigger in pledged delegates. And then the kind of states that they’re going to are more beneficial to the kinds of voters that she’s picking up in other states. sblum@syr.edu | @SamBlum3

SU professor fosters enthusiasm for Shakespeare through scholarly work

By Clare Ramirez asst. copy editor

D

ympna Callaghan was a 12 year old when she read her first Shakespearean play, “A Midsummer Night’s Dream,” for a class. She remembers her excitement in building a model of an early modern stage and using one of her favorite dolls, which happened to have dark skin, to represent her favorite character in the play, Bottom.

In that same class, Callaghan’s seat was underneath an image of William Shakespeare — a presage for things to come. She found it interesting that in a sense, she anticipated the now colorblind casting of Shakespearean plays, a topic she would often write about in the future.

I said to myself, ‘I’ll live in America and study English renaissance.’ The idea of being in a new country where there are new possibilities and breaking old paradigms — that continues to interest me.

Dympna Callaghan shakespeare professor

“I thought about why most of the actors then were white, and obviously that’s not true anymore,” she said. “It’s kind of funny that some of the ideas that subsequently came to preoccupy me were a little bit sparked even then.”

Callaghan, an English and textual studies professor at Syracuse University, has always been fascinated by the intricacies of language, particularly that of the early modern period. But the playwright and poet William Shakespeare, whose 400th death anniversary will be celebrated Saturday, has been a significant and central figure in her work.

In a way, Callaghan is living a double life. She’s originally from Leeds in northern England, but loves everything about the United States, especially after falling in love with Walt

Whitman’s “Leaves of Grass.” Her two master’s degrees — one in American studies from Bowling Green State University in Ohio, and the other in Renaissance literature from the University of Sussex in England — rein-

force her love for the two fields.

“I compromised. I said to myself, ‘I’ll live in America and study English renaissance,’” Callaghan said. “The idea of being in a new country where there are new possibilities and break-

ing old paradigms — that continues to interest me.”

A few years after she received her doctorate in philosophy, also from University of Sussex, Callaghan moved back to see callaghan page 10

Ohio to serve as the interim director of women’s studies department at Bowling Green.

But she soon found she missed “the words of the past” and knew she belonged teaching in an English department.

Callaghan moved to SU in the ‘90s after being offered a three-year post-doctorate as the Emerson Faculty Fellow in Modern Letters. After just a year, the department offered her a position as an assistant professor. She decided to trade the fellowship in for the security of a tenure track position because she saw a future for herself at Syracuse, and has been at the university ever since.

As a Shakespeare professor, Callaghan said she knew the most important conference for her to attend was that of the Shakespeare Association of America, a professional organization of scholars and professors who study and teach Shakespeare’s works and their cultural contexts. As of today, she said she hasn’t missed a single conference in the past 20 years.

by the book Here’s a list of a few of Dympna Callaghan’s books regarding William Shakespeare’s works and their cultural context:

• “Hamlet: Language and Writing” (2015) • “Who Was William Shakespeare? An Introduction to the Life and Works” (2013) • “The Impact of Feminism in English Renaissance Studies” (2007) • “Romeo and Juliet: Texts and Contexts”

(2003)

“It’s not a fan club. It’s not like that where we’re all agreeing about how wonderful (Shakespeare) is,” she said. “We’re doing deep intellectual work on literary studies and all manner of things, and it’s an intellectually challenging and vibrant community.”

It was during Callaghan’s term as president of the SAA a few years ago that the organization decided to publish a volume to commemorate Shakespeare’s 400th death anniversary. The volume, “Shakespeare in Our Time,” was released earlier this year and is a “snapshot” of where Shakespeare studies are right now, she said.

Now, Callaghan is working with history professor Carol Faulkner, who she has known for about 10 years, on a project about Edwin Booth, a famous actor at the time who played the lead in the longest-running production of “Hamlet.” Faulkner emphasizes in 19th century American history and said the project will examine the political significance of “Hamlet” during the Civil War. “Here’s a scholar of Shakespeare and ‘Ham-

let,’ several centuries removed, and here’s a scholar of the 19th century U.S. — can we try to say something new about this production of ‘Hamlet’ and what it might have meant to the citizens of the United States?” she said.

Part of the thought process behind their endeavor, Faulkner added, is wondering if it can even be done. They had originally planned to write something on the shorter end of things, but they quickly realized it warranted a bigger format because of how expansive the topic of the Civil War is.

Thanks to a grant from SU, Faulkner said she and Callaghan will determine when in 2016 they will publish the project.

“It’s such an interesting intellectual experiment because we’re stepping outside both of our scholarly comfort zone,” Faulkner said.

Amy Burnette, a Ph.D. candidate studying early modern literature, is Callaghan’s research assistant, gathering material for the Edwin Booth project. Burnette and Callaghan have known each other since 2010, when Burnette decided to pursue a doctorate degree at SU. While she was looking at doctorate programs, Burnette said she applied to Syracuse with the sole intention of working with Callaghan. Burnette said that while she was working on her thesis, Callaghan’s works on Shakespeare and feminism were her “go-to” resources.

“I was not looking so much at what was the best program out there — I mean, of course I still wanted a good program — but I was looking at universities where scholars who were influential on me, where they were,” Burnette said. “That was the reason I applied here, to work for Dympna.”

Burnette is approaching her seventh year of working with Callaghan, who is also her dissertation adviser. She said she’s constantly in awe of Callaghan’s ability to “produce forward thinking scholarship at such a fast pace.” The two of them will sometimes meet at Barnes & Noble or at their shared office in Hall of Languages to discuss, among other things, Burnette’s dissertation.

Her dissertation involves a chapter surrounding one of Shakespeare’s later plays, “The Winter’s Tale.” She likened Callaghan to one of the characters in that play, Paulina: loveable, caring, rhetorical and “tells it like it is.” “(Paulina) also has this magical quality about her, too. ... She has this sort of curious superhuman power, but mostly she is a woman who is for other women,” Burnette said. “That’s Dympna.”

While she doesn’t have a favorite Shakespearean play — having read all 37 of them — Callaghan absolutely loves Shakespeare’s poems.

She works on figures other than Shakespeare, but his work, particularly his sonnets, are something she calls “exquisite lyrical expression.”

“Ben Jonson once said, ‘Look not on his picture but on his book,’” Callaghan said.

“Read his work, read his book. That’s Shakespeare’s legacy to the world.” clramire@syr.edu | @clareramirez_

PAG E 11

Earthfest will take place at the Thornden Park Amphitheater on Sunday to commemorate Earth Day. The community-wide art and music festival will feature seven local music acts, art vendors and multiple speakers. The event, organized by Students of Sustainability, will start at noon and ends at 6 p.m. kiran ramsey design editor

H

oards of hoola hoopers lazily scatter Thornden Park.

Friends lounge in the grass listening to local bands and indulging in food truck fare. People intently focus on speakers discussing the importance of sustainability.

These are just a few of the sights to be excepted from this year’s Earthfest, an Earth Day-inspired event, which will take place Sunday, April 24 in the Thornden Park Amphitheater from noon to 6 p.m.

“Earthfest is a community-wide art and music festival that’s sustainably themed,” said Dana Wakeley, a junior advertising major and marketing director for Students of Sustainability.

The group collaborated with the New York Public Interest Group and Syracuse University’s Sustainability Division to organize Earthfest.

Wakeley said part of Earthfest’s goal is to be “a catalyst for the local movement.”

Seven local music acts — The LNJ, Citrus Punch, SoulPlay, Pizza Party, Andy Polk, Justine Thompson and Gates & Kaplan — will perform throughout the day.

Matt Barba, a sophomore music industry major and head of artists and repertoire for Orange Music Group helped book the musicians for Earthfest. This is also the first year that Orange Music Group is participating in the event.

“I think also a large part of it is trying to bridge the gap between the SU community and the city community as well,” he added.

Part of the planning process for Barba included incorporating a diverse and talented group of musicians that “catch the ear” while people mill about in Thornden

Park, engaging with speakers and vendors.

Three food trucks from around the greater Syracuse area will be offering local options for a bite to eat throughout the day. Lady Bug Lunchbox and Toss ‘n’ Fire Wood-Fired Pizza are two new additions this year, joining The Flying Camel who has served up food in the past.

Some of the craft vendors scheduled for Earthfest include painters, jugglers and local vendors selling handmade items, among other sustainably themed tables. Local artist Yegor Mikushkin will be painting throughout the day, displaying his and other local artists’ art.

In addition to arts and food, many other vendors will solicit their goods at the event. Various local and student organizations will also be tabling in order to draw membership and attention to their groups.

Blair Horner, NYPIRG’s executive director, will be the day’s keynote speaker.

She said the event is about raising awareness about local environmental issues while having a great time in a beautiful location. With more than 700 people interested in the event on Facebook she said she is hopeful for an “awesome turnout.”

Other speakers include members from the Onondaga Nation and the Students of Sustainability group.

Proceeds from the festival will help support Syracuse Grows, Gibson said, a local nonprofit whose mission is food justice through advocacy, education and resources in support of urban food production.

Alison Gibson, a public relations graduate student and intern for the Sustainability Division, described Earthfest as “a culmination of campus, both SU and ESF, and community participating together to celebrate Earth Day.” dmantoot@syr.edu

The junior tallied a team-high four goals in a balanced scoring effort as the Orange cruised to a 13-5 win over the Bearcats. liam sheehan asst. photo editor

By Connor Grossman asst. web editor

More than 24 hours before Syracuse took the field against Binghamton, John Desko couldn’t help but crack a joke about his team’s next opponent.

“If (Binghamton) wins, I’m sure we’re going to be on the cover of their media guide next year,” the veteran SU head coach quipped.

Desko’s team was fresh off a seasonturning win against then-No. 11 North Carolina. The Bearcats were sputtering in a six-game road losing streak. It was a tale of polar opposite seasons, and the Orange delivered a punchline as good as Desko could’ve imagined when he spoke on Tuesday afternoon.

It took 66 seconds for Syracuse (8-4, 2-2 Atlantic Coast) to post a lead it wouldn’t relinquish, and 36 minutes for Binghamton (4-8, 2-2 America East) to get as much as a single goal in a 13-5 drubbing on Wednesday evening that serves nothing more than a tune-up for SU before its ACC tournament matchup with the Tar Heels next weekend.

“After four games in 14 days, and three games in nine days,” Desko said, “I think we did what we wanted to do.”

Syracuse rounded out one its most complete games of the season, stretching out a 9-0 lead by halftime. Seven different players accounted for the early offensive blitz, emblematic of an offense that’s spread itself deep with six doubledigit goal-scorers. It was Nick Mariano, the team’s leading offensive weapon, who unfurled the first goal of the game and shortly afterward snaked through George Deignan and Joe Licata on defense to notch his 27th goal of the season.

That shot pushed the Orange’s lead out to 4-0, and Mariano never let go of steering the offense as he scored twice more to account for a game-high four goals. In a youthful Syracuse offense, the Massachusetts transfer has installed himself in the offense as good as anyone.

“I don’t have to do a lot of dodging,” Mariano said of his ability to assimilate into SU’s system. “A lot of the guys are doing the dodging for me. They’re getting their slides, and whenever they get their slides I just try to finish the ball for them.

“That’s them giving it back to me.”

What he’s taken is not only a teamhigh 78 shots, including a team-high 12 on Wednesday, but he’s snatched the goalscoring reins from Dylan Donahue. The

senior attack has made good on a preseason blueprint that spelled out a more passive role as the offense’s distributor.

He notched two goals and only one helper against the Bearcats, but still has more than double the assists of any other player on the team.

“The offense is just a work in progress at all times,” Donahue said. “I’m just trying to be whatever my team needs me to be.”

Syracuse got nearly half of its scoring from two players, Dylan Donahue and Nick Mariano.

OR frontdesk@dndruckerltd.com www.dndruckerltd.com Serving SU Campus for more than 30 years!

The offense was able to run status quo thanks to a 15-for-20 performance at the X, but never seemed to squeeze as much time per possession as Binghamton. The Bearcats held Syracuse at bay in the early going by stretching out several possessions dotted with fruitless shooting attempts.

But SU took a different route, wasting little time on its offensive chances, including a Ben Williams goal scored on the run after he won the faceoff nearly uncontested. It was a flashback from a season ago, when he came up firing 13 times after winning at the X, while only doing so five times entering Wednesday.

“When (Williams is) able to get the ball out in front and he has those opportunities,” Desko said, “many teams won’t rotate their close defense over. They’re going to see if the faceoff guy can make that shot.”

And he did. So did Mariano, four times, and Donahue twice more. Five others rounded out the scoring ambush.

Syracuse pushed and punched the lead in a game it’s head coach could only joke about losing.

Now they’ll try and deliver the ultimate punchline next weekend as a young team that most said couldn’t replicate their No. 1 status from a year ago: a second straight conference championship.

pearl game and shot almost 53 percent. He lived up to his McDonald’s All-American billing and then some.

Washington not only helped make a name for himself at Syracuse, but he put Boeheim on the map, too. On recruiting trips to California, Boeheim became “Pearl Washington’s coach” once the Brooklyn native came to SU after a time when Boeheim went unnoticed a country’s length away.

Today, Boeheim stays up past 10:30 p.m. with his two teenage sons to watch the Golden State Warriors’ Steph Curry because he’s more than just a basketball player. That was Pearl Washington, the only player Boeheim watched individually instead of watching the game itself.

“He’s just unique really,” Boeheim said.

“It’s a word I don’t use, don’t like to use.”

As his health declined this season, Washington’s future became more precarious. At the same time, his presence grew around the program, university and country as the Orange advanced in the postseason. “Pearl” shirts spread from team warmups to students across campus to national television.

Some players ditched the NCAA-mandated white warmup shirts to don the orange “Pearl” shirts in this year’s NCAA Tournament. Nobody talked about doing that.

Boeheim didn’t even know where the shirts came from. It just happened.

“I never told them to wear them. They just wore them,” Boeheim said. “They kept wearing them.”

The last time Boeheim spoke with Washington was over the phone after the Orange’s miraculous come-from-behind win against Virginia in the Elite Eight.

Washington couldn’t muster much, Boeheim said, but he was excited that the team had made the Final Four. He was excited that the players were wearing shirts with his name on them. Even in his final weeks, he brought excitement. Anything else would be unfitting.

As Boeheim finally ran out of words, out of tears, out of fruitless attempts to wipe his eyes dry and clear his nose to fully articulate what Washington meant, he shrugged his right shoulder as if to say he had nothing left.

“He’s one of a kind,” Boeheim said, followed by one final look down. “We’re fortunate that we had him here.” mcschnei@syr.edu | @matt_schneidman

BEST MOMENTS

a 35-foot desperation heave. That made the more than 32,000 fans in the Carrier Dome go wild, as many stormed the court. Earlier in the game, the fans had disrupted the game by throwing oranges onto the floor.

yracuse basketball legend Pearl Washington died on Wednesday at age 52 after battling a brain tumor he was diagnosed with last summer. In Washington’s three-year college career, he scored 1,490 points and is considered one of the greatest players in SU history.

Here are the top five moments of Washington’s Syracuse career:

3. 1986 Big East tournament March 6-8, 1986 Washington was named tournament MVP even though Syracuse lost in the championship game to St. John’s. He had a tendency to shine in big games, especially at Madison Square Garden in his hometown of New York City. In the three-game stretch in March of 1986, Washington totaled 68 points and 29 assists. His 21 points in a 75-73 win over Georgetown in the semifinal was just another one of his clutch performances.

1. “The Shot” Jan. 21, 1984 Pearl Washington made national headlines and cemented his legend in a game against Boston College inside the Carrier Dome.

Martin Clark of BC made a free throw to tie the game with only seconds left on the game clock. But Clark missed the second. Washington got the rebound, raced down the court and let a shot fly from half court as time expired.

He made it. As the ball left his hands and eventually went in the basket, Washington continued running all the way to the locker room. Washington had hit “The Shot” and sent the Carrier Dome into a frenzy.

4. Taking a swing at Patrick Ewing March 8, 1985

2. Court stormed after upsetting Georgetown Jan. 28, 1985

5. Eighteen assists in one game Feb. 27, 1984

Washington did it again. This time he hit a freethrow line jumper with eight seconds remaining, giving No. 9 Syracuse a 65-63 victory over No. 2 Georgetown in the Carrier Dome. The game ended the Hoyas’ road winning streak at 26 games. Georgetown had a chance to win the game in the closing seconds after Washington’s jump shot put Syracuse ahead 64-63. But a long Georgetown inbounds pass sailed high with six seconds left. The Hoyas then put Washington on the line, and he made one of two with four seconds remaining. Georgetown then missed

Still just a freshman, Washington continued dazzling as Syracuse’s point guard after grabbing national attention with his buzzer-beater against Boston College weeks earlier. In a game against St. John’s, Washington finished with 18 assists, breaking an SU record at the time. The game went into overtime and Syracuse squeaked out the 82-81 victory. Not only could Washington break down defenders and finish at the rim with his dynamite crossover, he could deliver to open teammates, as well.

Syracuse eventually lost to Georgetown 74-65 in the 1985 Big East tournament semifinal but just six minutes in, the 6-foot-2 Washington threw a haymaker at 7-foot Patrick Ewing’s midsection. Ewing responded by swinging back with his right hand as the benches emptied and players poured onto the court during the scuffle.

The Hoyas were the No. 1 team in the country at the time while SU was unranked and Washington’s early behavior sent a message.

‘ONE OF A KIND’ Jim Boeheim pays an emotional tribute to the late, great Pearl Washington Text by Matt Schneidman sports editor

A

t first it seemed like Jim Boeheim was just laboring through another cough, pausing in between words with a closed fist to his mouth while getting choked up. But then a tear snaked down the 71-year-old’s cheek. And then another. Then a sniffle, wince and struggle to find words that would do justice. This was real, raw emotion. This was a coach who had just lost one of his most beloved players.

Dwayne “Pearl” Washington, considered one of the greatest players and people in Syracuse basketball history, died Wednesday morning at 52 after a battle with brain cancer. Washington’s passing became inevitable, but that never made it easier to stomach. The head coach recalled the first time he saw Washington play. He reminisced over what Washington meant to him, the SU program and college basketball. Boeheim used words he never does: unique, legend. After all, those were words only fit to describe Pearl Washington.

“I think people know the legend,” Boeheim said. “There aren’t really many legends.”

Boeheim was in his late 30s and recalled watching in awe inside a Brooklyn, New York, gym while a sophomore plastered 46 points on senior-heavy competition in the Wheelchair Classic.
