LOUISVILLE

MICHIGAN

Siva doesn’t have to put up crazy numbers for the Cardinals to win. If he simply limits turnovers and gets Louisville out in transition, the Cardinals beat Wichita State and probably whomever they would face in the final, too. His speed alone creates a nightmarish cycle of steals and subsequent points that allow the Cardinals to set up their press and do it all again.

The biggest knock on Big Ten teams is that they often lack an elite scorer, which is part of the reason why none have won the title since Michigan State in 2000. Burke provides Michigan one and then some, averaging 18.8 points per game. He single-handedly dragged Michigan back against Kansas, but Saturday, his most important task may be limiting Brandon Triche and Michael CarterWilliams to the perimeter.

Louisville turnovers per game. The Cardinals play on the run and create so many extra possessions for themselves with 10.9 steals per game that transition turnovers can usually be neutralized.

It’s almost silly to list him as an X-factor, but if he shoots well in half-court sets and the secondary break, the Cardinals are nearly unbeatable.

Michigan’s success rate from 3-point range. No team has SU’s combination of length and athleticism, but the most surefire way to beat the zone is to shoot 3s and not miss them.

Number of UM players who have played in 30 games or more this season. In reality, only about six play in crunch-time minutes. The Wolverines aren’t any deeper than the Orange.

X-factor: Mitch McGary

Michigan’s big man has the size advantage on Baye Moussa Keita and figures to limit the Syracuse centers offensively, including Rakeem Christmas. But if he can produce in his own right on the other end, Michigan won’t be so dangerously dependent on the deep ball.

Boeheim:

“Louisville is as close as there is to a dominant team. They’ve lost some games. They haven’t shown much weakness lately.

They’re clearly the best team right now heading into this tournament.”

“Michigan’s a tremendous team. They have really, really good athletes that can really shoot the ball. They were a top-10 team all year and their center wasn’t ready yet.”

Early is the Shockers’ leading scorer, averaging 13.7 points per game and accounting for about 20 percent of Wichita State’s total points this season. His greatest value for the Cinderella squad, though, is on the glass. There, he helps compensate for his team’s overall lack of size, chipping in with 5.3 rebounds per game. His boards will be especially needed against No. 1 overall-seed Louisville in the first semifinal.

Stat to know: 4-0

Key Player: Michael Carter-Williams

He was the East Region’s Most Outstanding Player with good reason. The passing ability he’s shown nearly all season long is being coupled with a fearless willingness to get to the basket. He’s established himself as a true leader on this team alongside Brandon Triche, even drilling a few timely shots from 3-point range. And as a 6-foot-6 point guard, he remains a headache-inducing matchup for opposing swingmen and coaches.

WSU’s record in the first half of the tournament games this year. The Shockers have yet to trail at the break and can’t start now. No team remaining is easy to come back on. Louisville may be the hardest.

The Shockers’ record on the road suggests they don’t travel well. They’re in the Final Four, though, and flying just fine.

Opponents’ field-goal percentage in the tournament so far. This zone extends as far as any, and even the nation’s sharpest shooters can’t get used to 6-foot-8 frames defending the perimeter.

X-factor: Rebounds

Minutes per point for Rakeem Christmas in the tournament. He doesn’t play enough to make this count, and is almost exclusively a defensive force at this point in the season.

DAILY ORANGE .COM

If the Cardinals get and finish second chances, Rick Pitino can get his players into their nerve-shattering press. Wichita State needs to keep UofL out of a defensive rhythm to have a prayer. Just ask second-seeded Duke, which got outrebounded 37-31 and blown out 85-63 in the Elite Eight.

#SUtoATL

Boeheim:

The rangy forward is due. He’s been more than solid throughout the tournament, but hasn’t had one of his periodic explosions from beyond the arc since the Big East tournament. If he finds that kind of rhythm again, especially with Triche and CarterWilliams driving and kicking, SU is too dangerous.

o many, carbon-based energy feeds this country, pumping through the land through a network of pipeline veins. It brings with it high levels of greenhouse gas emissions, contributing to climate change and causing detrimental environmental effects.

But students at both Syracuse University and the State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry are saying, “No more.” They’ve decided to tackle the issue of climate change by severing ties with the fossil fuel industry— the heart of the beast.

Students from SU and ESF have asked their respective universities to divest from the fossil fuel industry. Activists want the university to abstain from any new investments in fossil fuels and to set a plan in motion to become completely divested in five years.

Research office to run survey

By Erik van Rheenen STAFF WRITER

University Union is transitioning its survey process to meet stipulations set by a Student Association bill passed in fall 2011.

UU’s survey for Juice Jam 2013 will be sent through the Office of Institutional Research and Assessment this summer to comply with SA’s legislation. The organization’s previous surveys were sent through Survey Monkey, a system SA Comptroller Stephen DeSalvo said got “a lot of complaints.”

Campaign hints at building project on South Campus

By Jacob Pramuk Staff Writer

Two rows of signs poked through a thin layer of snow between the Schine Student Center and S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications. The images, showing a black bar twisting over a green hill, beg the question, “What’s being built on South?”

Living SU, a blog in which students share their experiences at Syracuse University, released a clue on Monday in conjunction with the posting of the signs around campus.

The clue read, “When the weather is fair, I will be there. April to November, always an adventure!”

Construction on the South Campus project will conclude in the fall of 2013, said Maryann Akinboyewa, communications assistant at SU’s Division of Student Affairs. But Akinboyewa, a sophomore marketing and writing

“I’ve seen some interesting guesses and would definitely encourage students to continue to guess on Twitter.”

Maryann Akinboyewa

communications assistant at SU’s Division of Student Affairs

major, declined to give any insight into the nature of the finished project.

Akinboyewa’s role is to promote the campaign by releasing clues. She wrote the blog post on Living SU that featured the first clue.

The Division of Student Affairs will continue to release clues before revealing what the university is

building, she said. Akinboyewa did not provide a specific time frame, but said the division will release the final details of the construction project “in the next few weeks.”

The signs and clues are parts of a larger student involvement campaign, she said. Before the Division of Student Affairs announces the plans, it hopes to encourage student engagement through social media. “’What’s being built on South?’ is all about engagement,” Akinboyewa said. “The campaign is a fun way to get students excited about something coming to South Campus.”

The signs include a Twitter hashtag, #beingbuiltonsouth. On Monday and Tuesday, students tweeted their predictions, which ranged from the Death Star to a playpen full of puppies. Many Twitter users guessed the university is constructing a ropes

course on South Campus.

Those within the Division of Student Affairs intend to create speculation and excitement within the student community by dragging out the announcement, but some students said they feel the campaign doesn’t effectively encourage student participation.

The Twitter hashtag is also too long to catch on, he said.

Although the campaign’s hashtag has not gone viral, Twitter users have sent more than 30 tweets containing the hashtag since it was released Monday.

“I am really pleased to see the engagement we have had so far,” Akinboyewa said. “Students seem to be really excited about it. I’ve seen some interesting guesses and would definitely encourage students to continue to guess on Twitter.” jspramuk@syr.edu

Construction on recreational facility to start this month

By Allie Caren Staff Writer

A state-of-the-art recreation and retail facility is slated to open on University Avenue in 2014. The project, called the University Avenue Garage, will be composed of four floors — three floors of recreation

space and one floor of retail.

“It’s a huge project,” said Joe Lore, director of the Department of Recreation Services at Syracuse University. “We’ve been working on it for a long time.”

The developer, Tom Valenti of the Cameron Group, will begin construc-

tion this month, Lore said. The Department of Recreation Services and SU have been working on this project since the summer of 2007, when a private developer approached the university about purchasing and developing the “grassy knoll” past the Martin J. Whitman School of Management.

The top floor will include cardio machines and windowed walls, which will allow users to overlook the city as they exercise, Lore said.

In addition, the new space is much larger than Archbold Gymnasium.

While Archbold has 18 treadmills and 16 elliptical cross-trainers, Lore said

UU continues using unofficial data- SA’s internal issues must stop distracting collecting method despite SA legislation members from focusing on student body Throughout my time at Syracuse University, University Union (UU) has not only catered to a relatively small set of musical genres in booking its large spring performances, but it has also distributed its survey material in an inaccurate and unapproved fashion.

As someone who is neither a fan of rap or electronic music, my interests have been misrepresented at every large spring concert during my undergraduate career. Certainly Ke$ha represents a shift to pop and a change from past years. However, my disappointment with this year’s selection, someone who represents nearly everything wrong with this generation of unaccountable 20-somethings, is not where my primary concern with the organization lies.

On Oct. 17, 2011, the Student Association (SA) voted to approve Bill 55.243, Disbursement of Surplus Funds, which granted UU an immediate sum of $1,005,172, taken from surplus amounts in the budget from that year, and a later sum of $505,172 if it complied with the bill. The legislation states, “that the surveys done by University Union which gauge interest in potential entertainment shall henceforth be conducted with the assistance of the Office of Institutional Research and Assessment (OIRA) to ensure that a broader base and more representative sample of the student body is surveyed.”

Essentially, for UU to continue receiving this funding, it agreed to utilize the university’s office that conducts surveys and collects data.

However, the November 2012 email from UU asking for suggestions for Block Party artists contained the organization’s sole method of data collection: an unsecure Survey Monkey link. SA has informed me it has not received official survey results from OIRA, either.

Certainly, if the organization could prove with certainty that most students would prefer to have Ke$ha perform, I’d understand. Perhaps my musical interests just don’t match up with most of my peers.

I also understand the challenges associated with booking these large concerts.

But when the organization collects data using an unreliable process, it calls into question the validity of these important performance decisions.

For example, what stops a student from completing the survey on multiple browsers and skewing the results? The survey merely asks for an SU email address, so what prevents that individual from taking different email addresses listed on the SU directory and perverting the data?

The continued use of inaccurate survey results is a disservice to students who are continually left disappointed and misrepresented in these decisions. While it’s impossible to please everyone, UU can work harder to ensure each student is heard both fairly and with accuracy.

Jesse Feitel

POLITICAL SCIENCE MAJOR, CL ASS OF 2013

At the end of last year, the Student Association spent nearly $4,000 on a formal, violating its own budget rules. That made me angry.

Now, SA has been getting attention because of another mistake. In my four years at Syracuse University, this is the most discussion I’ve seen concerning SA. It’s not a good discussion, but it’s a necessary discussion.

Our students are doing some incredible things. She’s The First is currently in the middle of its awareness week. It works to sponsor girls’ education in the developing world.

I want to hear about that, not about drama behind closed doors.

“Student Association strives to meet its core mission: to represent and be the defender of students.” That sentence is from SA’s website.

If what’s happening now is a representation of the students of Syracuse University, then I’m embarrassed. I’m frustrated, because it’s not a representation of who we are.

First Year Players has its show this weekend. Did you know students put on an entire musical while also keeping up with other responsibilities? Relay for Life is this weekend.

Did you know there are college students carrying a full course load who raise over $100,000 for cancer research?

Our campus and student body are full

of incredible individuals who do incredible things. As the organization that represents our students, it is despicable that its entire image is currently of scandal and lack of transparency.

Perhaps I have a problem with its formal last year because I have had to deal with the budget restrictions and the fact that student organizations cannot use money allocated by SA for food. I understand needing to foster community within an organization. Anyone who has held a leadership position on campus understands that. But SA is for all students of Syracuse University. The community they should be building is among us all.

When SA decided to pursue a day of service, I was frustrated. It’s a great idea, but why not instead support Habitat for Humanity or Orange Seeds in their Big Event? We are a university of 14,000 undergraduates with diverse interests and passions. SA should be focusing on supporting those interests and feeding those passions, not on this drama, which has gotten completely out of hand.SA would not exist without a student body to govern. Move on from what’s happened and refocus on what matters: the students you represent.

TELEVISION, RADIO AND FILM MAJOR, CL ASS OF 2013

Dialogue ignited by downtown billboard should not be censored by university In calling for the discontinuation of a “provocative” billboard downtown, some university faculty are working to silence dialogue about white privilege and racism.

The billboard was created by a class in the College of Visual and Performing Arts. The billboard features a picture of a black Barbie doll on the left side with text that reads, “Sorry kids, it’s still white privilege” on the right side. The fundamental meaning of the billboard is that white privilege, as a systematic relation, is literally everywhere, and not in any way mitigated by the “diversification” of the Barbie line.

According to a public statement by Transmedia department chair Heath Hanlin, “The goal of this [billboard] project is to challenge stereotypes and investigate racial barriers, hopefully opening a constructive dialogue about these critical issues.” Ironically, however, the statement goes on to read, “the message and meaning of the billboard itself could be misinterpreted or misconstrued,” and so the department has asked that the vendor discontinue the billboard.

In other words, the goal of the billboard was to create dialogue, but as soon as the dialogue began — in the form of complaints — the department wielded its power to silence it.

This desire to silence dialogue about white privilege is problematic for several reasons.

Most significant is that white privilege is

such a fundamental component of U.S. society because it is so thoroughly and systematically denied. Discontinuing the billboard contributes directly to that denial.

There are critiques of the billboard; I have some of them myself. But these critiques need not be silenced. Instead, they should be publicized and made the subject of democratic deliberation.

Not to mention the fact that any artistic statement is, by definition, subject to misinterpretation — all communication is. It makes one wonder, then, if Hanlin defines art in part by its ability to be interpreted one way and one way only. Further, misinterpretation can be productive, and some of art’s productivity can actually be located here.

White privilege is a term that is completely absent in popular discourse. This billboard served to inject the term — and debate — into public discourse in Syracuse — a city that is structured by racism and other forms of oppression, like the university.

Luckily, the irony of censorship is that it tends to have an effect antagonistic to its intention. Therefore, while the university should reverse its decision, we would like to at least sustain the much-needed dialogue that the billboard started.

IMF exploits nations, middle class on behalf of international bankers Last week, the International Monetary Fund gave the tiny Mediterranean island nation of Cyprus, a member of the European Union, an ultimatum.

The Cypriot government had to come up with $7.5 billion to bail out the nation’s failing banks, or else be cut off by the IMF from borrowing money internationally – an economic death sentence.

To come up with the money, the IMF, along with the European Union and Europe’s Central Bank, wanted money to be skimmed from the personal bank accounts of all Cypriots. That didn’t go over too well.

It settled for a deal that will strip as much as 80 percent from bank accounts containing 100,000 euros or more.

If it is only confiscating funds from accounts with six figures, it’s only the money of the wealthy, right? Not exactly.

Filelftheros, a respected Cypriot newspaper, reported last week that the president of Cyprus warned his friends days before the crisis hit to move their money out of the country. It was widely reported in Italian and German media that in the week prior to the crisis, 4.5 billion euros were transferred out of Cyprus’ banks.

On Monday, Greek news outlet SigmaLive released a list of 132 companies and wealthy individuals who had all of their money transferred out of the country between March 1-15, well before the crisis hit.

Clearly, the rich and powerful knew what was coming and were able to evade losses. This is not unique to Cyprus – these “insiders” do so frequently, all over the world.

To meet the IMF’s demands and bail out the nation’s banks and financial system, it is small businesses and the life savings of middle-class families that are being wiped out.

Cyprus follows the United States and Greece, along with a host of other nations, in continuing the trend in which the ordinary citizen loses and major banks and corporations benefit.

How can the policies of so many governments and international organizations so lopsidedly and consistently favor

the last free american these banking and corporate elite?

Look no further than the IMF and its close relative, the World Bank.

In reality, the IMF’s actions show that its main purpose is to bail out powerful, politically connected banks, as well as nations with serious spending problems.

It does so with the money of taxpayers from a variety of nations, with the United States as its largest contributor.

In Gregory Palast’s 2001 article from The Observer, former Chief Economist of the World Bank Joseph Stiglitz showed just how the IMF goes about its business with these recipient nations.

In the article, titled “IMF’s four steps to damnation,” Stiglitz explains that the IMF privatizes all of the nation’s assets, opening its markets up to foreign businesses and eventually draining its wealth.

“In theory this allows investment capital to flow in and out,” Palast says, “Unfortunately … the money often simply flows out.”

It ends with national treasuries drained, property values demolished and ultimately, civil unrest. It happened in Indonesia, Brazil, Ecuador, Bolivia and most of Africa.

The list goes on.

In this system, almost everyone involved loses.

That is, except for the Western megacorporations and international banks, which benefit from the recipient countries’ wealth and bailouts they receive on the taxpayer’s dime whenever they risk losing.

So for the Western elite, what’s not to like?

It’s imperialism at its finest.

SCRIBBLE

SA’s lack of transparency continues Transparency doesn’t happen behind closed doors. And it certainly doesn’t start there, either.

The Student Association delivered its constituency, the students of Syracuse University, a disservice Monday night by holding its discussion about President Allie Curtis’ actions and potential impeachment in a closed-door meeting.

The six-hourlong executive session resulted in the assembly voting to allow Curtis to stay in her position. If the student body was allowed to hear the various arguments ultimately leading to Curtis’ status as president, the association could have proved a renewed commitment to transparency.

But by refusing to be open with the individuals who voted them into office, SA members caused many questions to remain unanswered instead of acknowledging existing concerns. How did our student leaders arrive at this decision? Are there any further repercussions for Curtis and the other members under investigation?

Answers to these questions are wrongfully unclear due to the lack of access students and the press had to the executive session and

EDITORIAL by the daily orange editorial board to gaining thorough details of the decision-making process.

According to the organization’s vague press release published after the session, SA members had issues with Curtis’ presidency beyond the recent situation involving ex-Public Relations Director Colin Crowley.

Concerns include the president’s absence at meetings she promised she would attend and the lack of communication between Curtis and cabinet members.

These are issues students have a right to know in detail, as they elected Curtis to lead the student government on their behalf.

After a week of SA members expressing grievances concerning Curtis’ presidency and calling for her resignation, it remains unclear as to why she was voted to retain her position.

It is not only the right of the students to know when their governing body makes mistakes, but also when it is performing well. Students must assume Curtis

has proven her worthiness as president, but need to know the reasoning behind why she was kept in office.

Right now, there is a complete lack of information available.

SA members must work to release further information to the public. Promoting open discussion in the face of various accusations is indicative in proving SA members truly want transparency to become the organization’s standard.

The length of this meeting shows there were many layers to the issues that caused the executive session, which is alarming to the university community.

But trust in the governing body only continues to waver when pertinent, important dialogue is concealed from those outside of the organization.

By closing the doors of Maxwell Auditorium, SA showed a fundamental disregard for its constituency.

The defenders of the students should be comfortable defending themselves in front of those they represent. Students shouldn’t be left in the dark any longer.

invested in the energy sector, comprising about 5 percent of its endowment, said Ben Kuebrich, a doctoral student in SU’s composition and cultural rhetoric program.

ESF has $1.9 million invested in the energy sector, said Mike Smith, a junior chemistry major at ESF. “What the divestment movement does is target the fossil fuel industry, which is spending its money and corrupting our system,” Kuebrich said.

Asking the universities to pull funding from fossil fuel companies sends a social message, said Chiara Klein, who is involved in the SU divestment group.

Those involved modeled the campaign after a movement from the 1980s, in which students across the country demanded that their universities divest from South Africa in protest of apartheid.

“It’s very much akin to stirring up trouble in a good way,” said Klein, a sophomore English and textual studies major.

The idea sparked on campus after renowned environmentalist Bill McKibben spoke last fall as a part of the University Lectures series. In his lecture, he urged members of the SU community to take action against climate change by standing up to the fossil fuel industry.

Students at SU and ESF, along with others from more than 250 colleges and universities across the country, have answered his call to action.

“The most important component of the divestment campaign is the argument that if you’re going to take sustainability seriously on your campus, you extend that focus beyond the buildings to the portfolio,” McKibben said in an email.

SU officials have shown an interest in working with the students pushing for divestment.

ESF, however, has not.

“The initial response from President Murphy was dismissive in nature,” said Smith, the junior chemistry major.

Officials at SU, on the other hand, have remained open to discussion. The administration regards climate change as a serious issue, said Eric Spina, vice chancellor and provost. He

Although the university has committed itself to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and moving toward carbon neutrality, it must evaluate its investment portfolio before coming to a decision, said Sherburne Abbott, vice president for sustainability initiatives.

Detangling SU’s endowments from the fossil fuel industry is difficult, and the Board of Trustees has an obligation to maintain the institution’s financial health, she said.

Despite these challenges, Abbott said she admires the students’ determination to push the movement forward.

“There’s a lot to be gained by mobilizing students across the country toward an organized effort around climate change,” she said.

“Divestment seems to be the main push.”

The campaign serves as a central organization for student climate activists, said Smith. It has allowed the environmental movement to shift from individual activism to more of a group effort, uniting students around a collective cause and providing a

starting point for a new generation of climate activists, he said.

“It takes everyone, plus more, to really go against this thing,” he said.

Students are not the only ones working toward divestment. A group of approximately 10 faculty members have also joined the cause.

Bob Wilson, an associate professor of geography at SU, said a part of the group’s mission is to support the students, something McKibben encouraged in his October lecture.

“He said students shouldn’t have to be on their own, they should have support from their elders,” Wilson said. “And that’s what we’re trying to do.”

But the students need more than just faculty to back them — they must rally their peers, as well. To indicate the importance of the issue, they need to get more of the SU community involved, said Spina.

The divestment campaign currently has a core of about 20 students, although its members have collected more than 1,000 signatures in support of divestment, said Kuebrich, the SU doctoral student.

Working beyond the stereotypes of an environmental cause has been challenging. People tend to associate environmental activism with recycling bins and composting, so students have to work to overcome that stigma, said Klein, SU

divestment group member.

“Our cohesiveness doesn’t come from the fact that we’re hippies,” she said. “So many different types of people can find something to relate to in terms of what we’re doing.”

The group is now attempting to reach beyond its environmentally friendly circle by asking the community to come together.

Members want to make it clear that as the generation inheriting this planet, they will not tolerate the practices that continue to contribute to its degradation, Klein said.

The group must now prove to the SU administration that it is both the morally and financially responsible decision. Members of the movement are prepared for a long debate, but their desire to relinquish the power of the fossil fuel industry remains undeterred.

“They picked a fight with us, with the future.

We’re simply pushing back as hard as we can,” Smith said. “We’re students on campus. This is where our power lies.”

The biggest cheers, though, came for Boeheim. As soon as he rounded the corner at the bottom of the stairs, the crowd erupted.

Boeheim went down the line and shook hands, also stopping to sign some autographs.

The players had no idea there would be anyone waiting for them at the hotel.

“It was fun, it was good to see all the support,” Syracuse guard Trevor Cooney said. “I was just shocked. This was an experience in itself, just coming into the hotel.”

Thompson, who graduated from SU in 2001, said he was flying home from Portland, Ore., when the Orange beat Marquette. He had Internet access on the flight, and as soon as the game was over, emails and text messages started flooding in.

Thompson said he immediately contacted the other SUACOA board members about different alumni events to hold. Tuesday’s welcoming party was just the first.

“This is beautiful. This is great,” Thompson said. “This is mostly local alumni right here.”

Samantha and Patrick Bresnahan, both of whom graduated from Syracuse in 2009 and married last October, said they knew they

wanted to attend Tuesday’s event as soon as they found out about it.

“We definitely wanted to come out and support the team and let the guys know there’s a huge fan base in Atlanta,” Samantha said. “It was a great chance to see the team up close and cheer them on personally.”

The Bresnahans also have tickets to the Final Four game, but purchased them long before they found out Syracuse would be there.

Shortly after the Orange was knocked out of the Elite Eight by Ohio State last season, they decided to enter the lottery for tickets to this year’s Final Four, since it would be right in their city.

They found out in August that they had actually gotten them.

“I said, ‘Next year, let’s go regardless of what happens,’” Patrick said. But they both knew the experience would be even greater if SU met them there.

“That would be ideal,’” Patrick said.

The purchase became even sweeter when Syracuse beat Marquette in the Elite Eight. Tuesday was the perfect way to kick off Final Four week.

Several players said they appreciated the support. SU forward Rakeem Christmas said the flight to Atlanta was just like any other flight during the year, even though the destination wasn’t just for any other game, but the Final Four instead.

The arrival to the hotel, though, was something completely different.

“It was definitely something. We’ve been through the Elite Eight, the Sweet 16 and we’ve never had anything like this,” SU forward James Southerland said. “I never expected anything like this.”

Many of the alumni said the welcoming party shows Syracuse will have plenty of support in the South when it moves to the Atlantic Coast Conference next season.

For now, though, the focus is on the Final Four. That’s when the support will move from the lobby to the Georgia Dome.

Said Southerland: “It’s nice to see we have a little fan base in Atlanta.”

TICKETS

— tipoff is scheduled for 8:49 p.m. Students will also have access to optional seating in the Georgia World Congress Center Staging area of the Georgia Dome for the Louisville-Wichita State semifinal, set to tip off at 6:09 p.m.

Attendees will pick up their tickets in Atlanta.

Students must have an SU or State University of

New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry ID that matches the name on the credit card used to purchase the tickets.

Otto’s Army held a meeting Tuesday night at 9 p.m. in Maxwell Auditorium to confirm travel and hospitality plans.

transfusion Syracuse-area hospitals help lessen city budget crunch by reducing health care costs

By Alfred Ng

T

Staff Writer

he newest goal of Syracuse hospitals: reviving the city’s debilitating financial budget.

Crouse and Upstate Medical University hospitals agreed to help the city of Syracuse save $ 600,000 during the next year by providing reduced healthcare costs for the city’s employees. The agreement between Syracuse and its two largest hospitals was announced by Mayor Stephanie Miner’s office on Mar. 26.

“I am very pleased that two of our leading hospitals, Crouse and University, have demonstrated their willingness to be strong community partners during challenging fiscal times,” Miner said in the press release. “In addition to our service agreements with SU and Crouse, this is another way we are working with our large non-profit tax exempt institutions in Syracuse to identify new ways for them to help us fund vital services.”

Because more than half of city properties are exempt from taxation as non-profit institutions, according to the city’s 2012-2013 budget report, the city loses an estimated $135 million annually in tax revenue from tax-exempt properties such as Syracuse University and the two hospitals.

Miner also said in the press release that Syracuse needs to consider new solutions for funding its budget because so much of the city is taxexempt.

“The City of Syracuse is in dire financial condition. We [are] looking to work with all of our partners, including our non-profit healthcare providers, to work towards righting our fiscal ship,” said Alexander Marion, the mayor’s press secretary in an email. “Strong teaching and research non-profit medical institutions are integral into making Syracuse a great city. We will only see our hospitals and other large non-

profits grow and expand when we have a vital and vibrant city that is able to offer them a higher quality of service.”

Health care serves as one of the city’s largest expenditures, according to the budget report. In the budget, it was predicted that the city would spend $44.1 million on health care from 2012-2013, with possible future increases.

The contribution by the two hospitals allows the city’s budget to support vital city services, according to the press release.

“We are delighted that we were able to find an avenue to help take a significant cost off the City’s plate,” said Darryl Geddes, University Hospital director of public and media relations in an email. “Great cities need great partners and this holds the promise of a great partnership for years to come.”

This is Crouse Hospital’s second contribution to the city of Syracuse in recent years, as the hospital also signed a four-year agreement with Miner last November to pay the city $50,000 a year, according to the press release. Crouse is the second tax-exempt institution in Syracuse to voluntarily contribute to the city’s tax base, after SU agreed in 2011 to pay the city $500,000 a year until 2016.

The deal between Syracuse and the two hospitals was negotiated by POMCO Group, the healthcare provider for city employees. The city also plans to extend its contract with the healthcare administrators for another year, the press release said.

POMCO’s role in the reduction was to identify every possible way to decrease health costs, said Robert Pomfrey, POMCO Group president and chief executive officer, in the press release.

“Challenging times require additional efforts from all parties involved, and as part of our partnership with the City, we gladly encouraged the utilization of collective efforts to achieve this shared goal.” alng@syr.edu

Strasbourg office to change location in fall

By Brett Samuels Staff Writer

Syracuse University’s study abroad center in Strasbourg, France will change locations this fall.

The new building is located around the corner from the current office, which the university rents. Maintaining a location close to the former building is important to the program’s success, said Raymond Bach, director of the SU abroad program in Strasbourg, in an email.

“We didn’t want to move out of this area since we are in the heart of the diplomatic quarter, and within walking distance both to the European institutions, and to the historic center of the city,” Bach said.

The move stems from European Union rules regarding disability access that will come into effect in 2015, Bach said. The current building does not comply with these regulations. He added that the new building could also help expand the program and will be able to accommodate 120 students.

The new building will also have staff offices, five classrooms, a library, a computer room and a student lounge. Bach said they will put in new video projectors and interactive white boards as well.

Another benefit of the change is that SU will own the building rather than rent it, Bach said.

“We are very pleased that after more than 35 years of presence in Strasbourg, Syracuse has decided to purchase this property, thereby solidifying its links to the city,” Bach said.

The Discovery Strasbourg program, which allows first-semester freshmen to study in France starting this fall, will also be affected by the move. Since SU plans to move into the building in July with students arriving in late August, Bach said the new building will help the program welcome students in optimal conditions.

Claire Rupert, a senior international relations major, studied in Strasbourg last fall.

She said while the current building is adequate, she understands how a new space would benefit the program.

“I think having bigger classrooms would be a benefit so more students can fit comfortably in classrooms,” Rupert said. “The rooms in the old building were pretty small. The majority of classes were small, but when we had orientation or meetings everyone couldn’t fit comfortably in any of the classrooms.”

Since the location is so close to the current building, Rupert said she doesn’t expect the move to have any effect on the program. She said it’s a quick walk to convenient locations such as University of Strasbourg and the European Council from both the old and new locations.

The European Council is a big attraction for many students, including Chinenye Monde, a senior international relations major. Monde said she interned at the European Council while she studied in Strasbourg.

However, she noted that the former building was old and required renovations.

Monde said she felt the numerous renovations to the building may have become expensive enough that the best option was to relocate altogether.

Said Monde: “It was pretty old, as in the floor creaked whenever you walked, which was at times disruptive during class sessions.” blsamuel@syr.edu

International programs emphasize diversity, integration on SU campus

By Nicki Gorny ASST. NEWS EDITOR

Attracting those of French, Haitian and Congolese roots, the Club Francophonie meets in the Slutzker Center for International Services to enjoy French food, movies and conversation.

Some see it as isolationist while others see it as cross-cultural, but both are important in supporting diversity on campus.

Separation among cultural groups, which exists at universities across the country, is a natural tendency that is an important and complementary aspect of integration, said Pat Burak, director of the Slutzker Center. Spending time with those of similar backgrounds allows students a supportive environment to “refuel,” she said, adding this does not detract from the mix of diverse groups on campus.

In fact, Burak said, integration among various groups on campus is increasing. While separation exists among diverse groups at Syracuse University, she added, many students take

for Syracuse University.

The SA Disbursement of Surplus Funds bill, approved in October 2011, granted UU an immediate sum of $1,005,172 from surplus money in that year’s budget. The legislation also granted a later sum of $505,172 if UU complied with the bill. DeSalvo, who was a member of SA’s general assembly when the bill passed, said the bill was intended to improve performer options.

UU hasn’t worked with OIRA for past surveys, but is making the transition to meet the seed funding stipulations.

“It’s just a matter of using updated surveys to align with the seed funding bill,” said UU President Lindsey Colegrove in an email.

The legislation states that assistance from OIRA in UU’s surveying process will ensure “that a broader base and more representative sample of the student body is surveyed.”

DeSalvo said one problem that came up when considering working with OIRA to conduct surveys to gauge interest in potential performers was managing the time constraints that come

the cardio floor of the new facility will have 30-40 of each type of machine.

“Students will not have to wait anymore for a machine,” he said.

The third floor will consist entirely of free weights and weight machines, Lore said.

The main floor of the University Avenue Garage project will include three multi-use dance studios or exercise rooms, he said, in an effort to accommodate student organizations during times in the evening, after classes have finished.

The renovations, however, will not stop at University Avenue.

“Students have always said, ‘We’re a basketball school and we don’t have a lot of basketball courts on campus,’” Lore said.

Moving the location of exercise facilities will enable the space in Archbold Gymnasium, which is currently the largest facility on campus, to be renovated, he said.

Lore said after the machines are cleared out of Archbold, the floors will be sanded down and refinished to create three basketball courts,

advantage of the abundant opportunities to cross these boundaries every day.

“I’ve been here for many years,” she said. “I see much more acceptance overall of the global diversity of our population.”

Burak cited examples as diverse as the acceptance of international athletes on sports teams to the recognition of vegetarian and gluten-free dietary requirements in dining halls.

But Elane Granger, associate director for student services at the Slutzker Center, said the increasing integration on campus is especially evident through two Slutzker Center programs that enable dialogue among diverse groups on campus.

Mix-it-Up, a weekly gathering of domestic and international students for food and conversation, and SU Fulbright Orange Dialogue for Peace, a retreat in which outdoor activities complement story-sharing sessions, both allow students to address differences and discover connections, Granger said.

When Mix-it-Up began in 2006, Granger said, domestic students’ participation was

limited and international students often complained of isolation and negative experiences. Domestic and international students alike “complained loudly about the segregation on campus,” Granger said. But now, stories shared at Mix-it-Up more often highlight themes of inclusion.

Likewise, Orange Dialogue demonstrates the integration theme through its growth, Granger said. This year, two retreats were held in addition to the two main retreats held in September and February.

Orange Dialogue offers students an opportunity to explore differences within a group, she said, noting one instance in which Taiwanese and Chinese students discussed the conf licting dynamic between the two groups during the retreat.

A perception of isolation on campus exists because many opportunities for day-to-day integration are not always visible, Burak said. For example, although international and domestic students work together and

interact through classes, part-time jobs and residence halls, these often are less visible than large events.

Yutian Yang, vice president of Phi Beta Delta, an international honor society, said she also sees that large events geared toward specific groups garner the most attention. Events with a cultural focus on Asian, Caribbean or AfricanAmerican groups generally attract attendees of the respective identities.

At the same time, Yang said she considers campus well-integrated, particularly noting her appreciation of students’ acceptance of international students.

Opportunities geared toward specific groups and opportunities geared toward integration are important, said Granger, associate director for student services at the Slutzker Center.

“You have to support individual populations,” she said, “but you also have to work together to bring the populations together.”

“SA is aware that this year’s survey was sent through Survey Monkey. I have also spoken to them about the transition into using OIRA, which could mean a tradeoff between surveying the entire student body to only a representative sample.”

DeSalvo also said that when the bill was passed, UU knew it would have to switch from using Survey Monkey to working with OIRA. “SA is aware that this year’s survey was sent through Survey Monkey,” Colegrove said. “I have also spoken to them about the transition into using OIRA, which could mean a tradeoff between surveying the entire student body to only a representative sample.”

Colegrove said the bill was passed to push UU to “constantly strive to improve our survey process” and not because of issues with past surveys.

“This is something we are always trying to

do,” she said.

The organization uses student surveys as the main focus when selecting artists to bring to campus. Colegrove said UU puts realistic artist names on the survey so the organization can reach out to their agents about availability.

“Sometimes everything works out perfectly and we are able to bring the top choice, such as Ke$ha for this year’s Block Party,” she said.

Colegrove said this summer’s Juice Jam artist survey will be sent through OIRA.

with the surveys.

It can take OIRA six months to a year to collect data. Because of this, some students who participate in the survey may no longer attend SU by the time data is collected, or that the artists will no longer be popular, he said.

instead of the current single court.

“It’s kind of a hand-in-hand project. It’s really a huge step in terms of health and wellness on this campus, in terms of meeting and exceeding students’ needs — and we’re really excited about it,” Lore said.

Timothy Eddy, assistant director of fitness centers, said in an email that he and his department continuously strive to provide the best environment and learning opportunities for the university community in the area of health and wellness.

“The creation of the new space will allow for this continued growth while also allowing for a better use of the current Archbold Fitness Center space when it is re-purposed back to basketball courts,” Eddy said. “Overall participation and facility usage across Recreation Services continues to increase every year.”

Eddy said he looks forward to the increased space and brand new equipment the facility will bring.

Said Eddy: “Imagining the ‘wow’ factor for all new patrons when they enter the facility for the first time is one of the best motivators in the planning process of the facility.” ajcaren@syr.edu

We’ve all been back from our brief exposure to sun for a while, and just like the Saranac 12 Beers A Springing, we’re getting pretty pale. This pack is bringing the hops left and right with three flavors of IPAs, a Pale Ale and a new release: Dry Hop Lager.

The pack is one-sixth black with an Irish Stout. I’m a sucker for these variety packs, and Saranac has finally provided us with one that doesn’t have an aggressively mediocre, obscure seasonal. By default, that makes this the best one, so congrats, Saranac — third time’s the charm.

My chief complaint with Saranac’s IPA is that it is very ordinary. The brewers have gotten around that problem with their White and Red IPAs. I don’t love that the RIPA has been in consecutive seasonal packs. But it is delicious, so we’ll call it a push.

The White IPA is the Regis to the RIPA’s Kelly. The WIPA is a hybrid Belgian White and traditional IPA. Like many Belgian beers, there is a strong citrus element that dominates the aroma and flavor palette. This beer is on the strong side at 6 percent alcohol by volume. I really enjoy this beer because it is different from other IPAs. I’m guessing I’ve talked about an IPA at least every other week — and it’s been a long year — so I’m looking for something strange when it comes to the hippest beer style. The brewers have wisely made this beer available year-round.

Dry-hopping a beer is adding additional hops to the beer after fermentation. This technique does not make the beer bitterer, it only contributes to the aroma. A lot of powerful smells are lost in the boiling process.

Home brewers should take a look at this technique and add it to their wheelhouse because smelling this beer is like making out with a nine for 45 minutes and not being upset about the subsequent blue balls. The Dry Hop Lager hits your tongue with three waves of bitterness before kissing it with a hint of sweetness before you say “ah.” Like the IPAs, it is also 6 percent alcohol by volume.

Your only respite from the cascade of hops is the Irish Stout. This beer is Rick James’ friend, Darkness. This beer has more coffee than a Starbucks cup and is what Midnight Society was so afraid of at its campfires.

magine a world in which all transactions are made on smartphones. If the chief information officer of JPMorgan Chase & Co. has anything to do with it, this is the future of technology.

Guy Chiarello, JPMorgan’s CIO, and Bill McDermott, co-CEO of SAP, held an open discussion in the Joyce Hergenhan Auditorium on Tuesday at noon titled “Technology and Leadership.” The Global Enterprise Technology program in the School of Information Studies sponsored the event, immediately followed by a reception in the lobby of Newhouse III. Chiarello, who joined JPMorgan in 2007, is responsible for information technology for the entire firm, which has operations in 60 countries worldwide. He emphasized the importance of technology in reducing fraud and increasing security, a prevalent issue in the banking industry.

“You’d probably think I was crazy if I said that the most secure way of doing business some number of years from today will be with a mobile phone,” Chiarello said.

He compared smartphone usage to computer usage, noting how websites generally only offer one or two forms of security. Companies like JPMorgan, he said, have to set aside billions of dollars a year to compensate for fraudulent transactions.

“Your mobile phone, you can put a

password in there. It has a GPS capability. It also has the ability to have a second factor of authentication, a randomly generated number. It has the ability to do a voice print, it has the ability to take a picture,” he said.

“Security drives more comfortable, confident transactions.”

The focus on online security has increased in importance with the introduction of cloud computing, something SAP, a multinational software company, specializes in.

Cloud computing allows businesses to simultaneously manage their employees, finances, customers and suppliers, according to the SAP website, and entrusts a company’s information on a shared network, for example, the Internet.

Companies like JPMorgan are just beginning to experiment with The Cloud. Teddy Pace, a senior in the iSchool and current JPMorgan intern, said this was part of the reason he attended the event.

“Definitely excited to see where they go with the whole cloud computing. I’d like to see how JPMorgan takes that and runs with it,” he said.

Neil Winston, also an intern at JPMorgan and junior information management and technology major, noted how using The Cloud would specifically affect his company.

“They’re going into cloud computing, which they’ve always been scared of, because they’re a bank.

They have to be secure,” he said.

McDermott, the co-CEO of SAP, said although some aspects of corporations like JPMorgan will run from a private cloud, other aspects will use public clouds, which are more easily accessible.

The important thing, he said, is

Columnist weighs in on benefits of bananas as healthy option in daily diet

T

hey’re green, hard and taste like they’re having an am-I-a-fruit-or-a-vegetable identity crisis. Blame it on the April snow showers or blame it on the boogie, but the bananas sold in campus cafes have nose-dived

into non-delicious oblivion in the last few weeks.

It’s a problem. Bananas are the only fruit that can qualify as a meal when dashing from class to class. Plus, what other fruit can masquerade as a quasi-penis for sh*ts and giggles? But don’t

give up on this bendy fruit staple just yet. Here are 19 healthy and sexy things to know and do with a banana — ripe, green or otherwise.

1) Fill that tummy: A regular banana holds 110 calories in its squishy, yellow flesh. Double the calories and eat two at the same time to look like an elephant.

2) Banana belly: The average American eats 26.2 pounds of bananas a year. That’s about the size of four babies.

3) Fat-free food: As a disclaimer, fat’s not the devil and everyone needs it in a balanced diet.

Bananas are natural fat and cholesterol-free foods — you can’t beat that with a big stick.

4) My name is: Cavendish. Almost all commercial bananas are from Cavendish plants, all perfect clones of a single Southeast Asian plant.

Bananas are sexless and seedless, and their cloned status means bananas could be wiped out quickly if banana Armageddon happened, according to the Today I Found Out website.

5) Krumping cramp: If exaggerated and expressive street dance is your exercise of choice, a banana boost can ward off cramping of the legs. Banana’s magical de-cramping powers apply to regular sports, too — like Quidditch.

6) Handle it: Peel upside down so the stalk acts as a handle — it’s how the monkeys do it. Or you can break it in half for two 50-ish-calorie snacks.

7) Sick bay: Don’t forget the “B” in the BRAT diet, which helps those in gastrointestinal distress. Bananas are easy to digest, so gnaw your socks off if the snow’s killing your immune system, along with rice, apple sauce and toast.

8) Period pooh: Icky, sure, but the vitamin B6 in bananas stops period diarrhea in its tracks and can replenish nutrients lost, Yahoo Voices says.

9) Slow down: Bananas contain tryptophan, which the brain converts to serotonin quickly when combined with carbs, making you sleepy, the Livestrong website says. Enjoy a banana nightcap.

10) Animate anemia: Bananas are full of iron and can stimulate the production of hemoglobin in the blood, which helps those who are anemic.

11) We all scream for: frozen bananas. They make the perfect one-ingredient frozen treat.

Freeze, blend and dig in.

IONA HOLLOWAY

just do it 12) Old bananas: Given the green banana epidemic, you may need to wait until June for a dining hall banana to over-ripen, but when it does, bake banana bread. Delicious and healthy, sort of.

13) Sexy time: The potassium in bananas boosts male sex drive, Shape Magazine reports.

Get on it, boys — if you even need the help.

14) Make a farmer happy: Don’t throw banana skins away. Give them to farmers. They compost the sh*t out of them.

15) Cold bananas: just no. Take your banana out of the fridge or it will turn from green to brown. A chemical oxidation reaction produces the brown-colored melanin that ruins your bendy fruit.

16) Caffeine shakes: Contrary to Lifehacker’s recent story that bananas stop the coffee wiggles, NPR found bananas won’t help you calm down.

17) Buff banana: Scuffed shoes? Fear not.

The Huffington Post recommends buffing the grit away with the inside of a banana peel.

18) Fingering: A single banana is called a finger; a bunch is a hand. Got to love a sexual euphemism.

19) Banana toy: There are conflicting opinions, but due to their mushy quality, bananas make unpredictable sex toys. Maybe stick to eating them, not freaking with them.

Get chomping, Bananamen. But only if the banana’s yummy and yellow.

Darwin on Clinton provides diverse recipes, array of organic soups, salads, sandwiches

STAFF WRITER

hile perusing through Syracuse restaurant reviews online, I came across a link titled “Foodie’s Bucket List, Syracuse.” Being a foodie myself — some might call it “food-obsessed” — I was intrigued.

The first “can’t miss” restaurant on the list was Darwin, located at 211 N. Clinton St. Comments on the restaurant’s Yelp page describe it as “the best sandwich place I have EVER seen by far” and “the place to lunch in Syracuse.”

It would’ve been a foodie crime not to check it out.

Darwin is a division of Riley’s, of 312 Park St., also deemed one of the city’s best restaurants. Like its parent restaurant, Darwin’s menu changes daily in order to incorporate fresh produce and the restaurant’s newest recipes, which allows for a different dining experience every visit.

Located right off of Clinton Square, it seemed easy enough to find. After all, my GPS said it was only three miles away. A detour, a few wrong turns and issues finding a parking space later, our 10-minute trip turned into a half-hour expedition. Needless to say, I was a bit peeved when we arrived at Darwin, but this dissipated almost instantly.

It was the kind of spot that just invited you in.

The building is quaint with yellow walls and a white brick front. A sign on the side of the building said, “Out to lunch…”

I wasn’t expecting Darwin to be such a close-quartered restaurant, but it had only a few tables and a countertop seating space. Don’t

let the tight space deter your visit, though. The crowd only added to the restaurant’s chaotically cozy atmosphere.

Darwin’s menu was scrawled in chalk on a blackboard in a host of different colors, showcasing the day’s soup, salad, sandwich and side offerings. It’s worth noting the food is served wrapped up and in a to-go bag, seeing as there is such limited space to eat in the restaurant.

The service was amiable and the guy taking our orders even cracked a few jokes with us. Minutes after ordering, our sandwiches and soups were ready, and I have to say, it was one of the fastest meal preparations I have ever experienced.

Our first menu item was a bowl of Sweet Potato Bisque with Maple Cream and Fresh Scallions, $5. Bisque is technically meant to be a smooth and creamy soup, and Darwin’s vegetarian version was as smooth and creamy as a sweet potato soup can be. Although I did find some not-pureed sweet potato bits, the overall texture was luxuriously silky.

The maple cream squirted on top was the best part of the whole dish. The cream complimented the sweet flavor of the bisque wonderfully, providing a balance between sweet and savory. I only wished there was more of it — without the cream, I found the bisque itself to be slightly too sweet. It was almost dessert-esque.

We also ordered the Ships In The Night sandwich, $8. The sandwich had fresh mozzarella, portobello mushrooms, frizzled red onion, tomato, fresh spinach and basil topped with a house-made balsamic dressing, all on stretch

bread from Pastabilities.

The sandwich was perfectly portioned. It was large, but not too large that you felt like you couldn’t finish it. There was plenty of thickly sliced mozzarella, the mushrooms were tender and juicy, and the onions were sweet and slightly crispy. The balsamic dressing was creamy, tangy and complimented the rest of the sandwich’s components perfectly.

My one gripe with Darwin’s menu the day I visited was its unbalanced meat-to-vegetarian

dishes ratio. There was one meat-free sandwich, but my personal opinion is that when a menu has seven or so meat-based sandwiches, at least two meatless ones should also be offered. It’s all about accommodating as many customers as possible.

If you’re looking for a great lunch spot, check out Darwin. After visiting, you, too, can check it off of your Syracuse Foodie Bucket List. Oh, and if it’s not on there, it should be. rsemper@syr.edu

TECH TALK F R O M P A G E 11

how such complex technologies like cloud computing can be used by small businesses.

As someone who grew up in a restaurant, the student wondered how those who are unfamiliar with technology and don’t have the resources to hire an expert can still use SAP software to make their businesses more efficient.

“Almost all the enterprise software action in Brazil is on SAP. Sixty-five percent of the GDP of Brazil runs on SAP, yet 99 percent of businesses in Brazil are small,” McDermott said. “You make it ‘Sesame-Street’ simple to consume.”

McDermott’s emphasis on simplicity and inclusivity extends not only to his view of software, but to running a business, as well.

He said teamwork is very important to him, and that the best leaders surround themselves with people who possess the skills the leader lacks.

“That is my high: to see the team hit something that they never thought they could,” he said. “We put a plan together and everyone’s diverse skills came together in a beautiful mosaic, and we hit a moonshot. That, to me, is a masterpiece.”

BEER

F R O M P A G E 11

Most importantly, it’s de-freaking-licious.

With this stout, you can properly mourn the black state of your soul after My Chemical Romance’s break-up. It has all of the great dark beer characteristics, but with a medium body.

Unlike a pint of Guinness, this stout sits much lighter in your stomach. I wouldn’t rule out

McDermott also noted the importance of giving back to the surrounding community.

Besides acting as the co-leader of a multinational software corporation, McDermott is also a board member at Under Armour, which he began working with when it was still in its early stages, investing time and energy into helping the company grow.

Under McDermott’s leadership, SAP also dedicates the month of October entirely to service, giving back to the communities and causes most important to the company. Plus, SAP works with U2 front man Bono and (RED) for the eradication of HIV/AIDS, and has helped create green spaces in urban areas for children to play.

“Companies, when they do well, they do good,” McDermott said.

Ninety-nine percent of SAP employees said they were satisfied with the vision, strategy and direction of the company, and the employee retention rate is at an all-time, 41-year high.

He said this is likely due to the company’s work in the community.

Said McDermott: “I think the true measure of a person is not what they take from this world, but it is what they give to the world. Don’t let anybody put ceilings on your true potential.” avhartma@syr.edu @averyhartmans

this beer’s car bomb potential. This beer is 5.5 percent alcohol by volume and is, tragically, only available in this seasonal pack.

If you don’t like hops, don’t even bother. But if you do like hops, you’ll appreciate the subtle differences between the IPAs. If you think IPAs are kind of whatever, try to trade for the stout.

If you’re tired of my suggestions and want to do your own thing, you can go to the store and choose for yourself. djsorens@syr.edu

Defensive midfield provides offensive firepower in transition

By David Wilson ASST. SPORTS EDITOR

Matt Pratt and Steve Ianzito both came to Syracuse as offensive-minded midfielders. Pratt scored 71 points during his second season in Onondaga Community College’s high-scoring system. Ianzito scored 42 goals during his senior year at Cicero-North Syracuse High School.

But when Syracuse needed someone to slide back to a more defensive role, both took the new assignment in stride.

“You get recruited to be here to be a midfielder, so you should be able to play both ends of the field,” Ianzito said. “Offense and defense.”

Pratt and Ianzito, along with long-stick midfielder Matt Harris, have formed a dynamic defensive midfield line for the Orange this season that has locked down opposing midfielders while also creating offense.

Though their focus lies on the defensive end, getting out in transition gives them an opportunity to get back into the scoring column they dominated earlier in their careers.

“Our mindset is every time the ball’s on the ground, we’re running to push it and to go,” Pratt said. “It’s cool to score when you don’t get

the opportunity as much.”

It’s a part of the style SU prides itself on. Syracuse has long had a reputation of getting out and running to fuel its high-powered offense. Few on this year’s team do it better than Pratt and Co. Pratt has scored three goals this season, all in unsettled situations. Ianzito hasn’t found the back of the net himself, but he’s dished out a pair of assists in clearing plays. Even Harris, a long pole, has scored a pair of goals.

It’s the scenario in which attack Derek Maltz feels the Orange operates best. Historically, it’s what SU is known for and, with this year’s personnel, it’s often the best bet to score.

“Those two, pretty good chemistry coming down the field, always looking for each other,” Maltz said. “They do a great job of getting the ball down the field and our coaches give them freedom because they have the abilities to make plays on the offensive side of the ball.”

The offensive side of the position comes naturally to Pratt and Ianzito, but both went through some growing pains while becoming more accustomed to the defensive side. Pratt’s side-to-side speed makes him a natural fit to defend shifty midfielders, but basics, like positioning, were a bit more difficult.

Fortunately for him, he had Ianzito, a player who went through a similar transition, to lean on. At the end of last season, Syracuse needed a third short-stick defensive midfielder to slide in with Ianzito and Kevin Drew. After initial indecisiveness, Pratt made the move, leaning on advice from Ianzito and defender Brian Megill to help make the transition smooth.

“We have the ability — with me and Matt playing offense in the past — we have the ability to go down and create something on offense from defense.”

Steve Ianzito

SYRACUSE MIDFIELDER

But their familiarity with the offensive side of the ball lets them slide into the flow of the

attack seamlessly in unsettled situations.

“We think of ourselves as a little bit of playmakers,” Ianzito said. “We have the ability — with me and Matt playing offense in the past — we have the ability to go down and create something on offense from defense.”

Ianzito said he expects his unit to score two or three times per game. When it does, it’s tough to beat the Orange. Though the half-field offense is playing as well as it has all season — shooting at a nearly 50-percent clip in the past three games — getting in transition helps maintain that level of efficiency and create more opportunities.

Even Megill has gotten up into the offensive end this season, scoring a goal on three shots. He admittedly prefers to play long-stick midfield, as he often does in fall ball, so the offensive zone isn’t entirely unfamiliar territory, but it’s still a testament to the plethora of offensive weapons on the SU roster.

Syracuse doesn’t need to lean solely on its attack and offensive midfielders. It can win games with them, but the Orange is at its best with more.

“We can come down, we can change, we can spark momentum by doing that,” Ianzito said. “It’s a quick game-changer to take it coast to coast.” dbwilson@syr.edu

Outside of goalie rotation, Byrne learns from Syracuse’s established vets

By Phil D’Abbraccio ASST. COPY EDITOR

Kelsey Richardson and Alyssa Costantino receive most of the practice time in the cage. They rotate back and forth, clanking their sticks together in encouragement each time they pass each other.

But Shannon Byrne isn’t forgotten. The freshman third-stringer still has her opportunities to practice in net. And the goaltenders’ sticks still clank together, regardless of which netminders are switching out.

“I definitely really look up to them,” Byrne said, “and watching them play I think definitely helps make me better.”

Byrne, who has yet to make her collegiate debut, may be left out of Syracuse’s two-goalie platoon, but that doesn’t mean she isn’t a part of it. As No. 8 Syracuse’s third-string goalie, she is making the most of her practice time and has made progress in the cage in her first season at SU (5-3, 1-0 Big East), leaving the impression that she could be an answer in the future, after the departures of Costantino or Richardson.

“I just appreciate her willingness to jump in and take shots when we need a goalie and shooting drills and all that,” head coach Gary Gait said. “Just that repetition alone will help her.”

Byrne’s been playing lacrosse since second grade, she said, but wasn’t a goalie until her Skaneateles (N.Y.) High School team needed someone to step into the cage. Then a sophomore, Byrne volunteered, and she hasn’t regretted it since.

But no college teams contacted her. Living 30 minutes away from SU, the school she “always wanted to go to,” Byrne reached out to the Orange’s coaching staff. Gait and assistant coach Regy Thorpe had seen Byrne play against their daughters in high school.

“She’s a good kid and she’s certainly not afraid of the ball, and I think that was key,” Gait said. “We were looking for someone to come in who wanted the opportunity to get lots of shots and knowing that they were third goalie at this point and be willing to learn and improve. And that’s what she’s doing.”

Not only is Byrne learning from the other goal-

ies, but the freshman is also under the tutelage of Syracuse assistant coach Brett Queener, who Richardson called “one of the best goalies in the guys’ game.”

As Byrne works with Queener, Richardson has noticed an improvement in Byrne’s fundamentals and positioning, as well as a boost in confidence. One of Byrne’s strengths, Costantino said, is her knack for intercepting passes.

Richardson and Costantino are especially skilled in communicating with the defenders, Byrne said. Their ability to communicate is one of the many aspects of goaltending that Byrne observes and ultimately learns from her teammates.

“All three of us work together,” Costantino said. “We help her every day in there. We all build off each other.”

Practice isn’t easy for any of the Orange’s goalies. Each and every day, they face shots from talented players like Alyssa Murray, who led the country in points a year ago, and Michelle Tumolo, who is rapidly climbing SU’s all-time leaderboards.

But that’s what helps Syracuse’s goalies improve, and Byrne is no exception.

“She’s definitely getting better,” Gait said. “I think she’s learning how to be a goalie and she’s figured out her teammates, where they like to shoot, and that’s part of the learning process.

When you can start understanding how players shoot and what their tendencies are, that’s a big step. And that’s a next step to starting to analyze opponents and the way they like to shoot.”

Like every other player on the team, Gait said, the freshman has room for improvement before she’s promoted from the practicing rotation to the playing field – particularly on low saves and clears, Byrne said. The Orange hasn’t signed a goalie recruit from the next incoming class, but Gait expects to add a netminder in one of the following years.

Regardless, the future of the goalie system will likely mirror the current pecking order on the Manley Field House practice field.

Byrne will have her opportunity to compete – after junior Costantino and sophomore Richardson are finished with their turns.

“I definitely think that she can be (the starter),” Richardson said. “If she keeps working with Brett, like how much she’s improved lately, I think that

definitely coming in the next couple of years, she’s going to be a great replacement for Alyssa and I.” pmdabbra@syr.edu

final four

Last time they played: SU beats UM in Legends Classic Nov. 26, 2010 Syracuse, 53, Michigan 50 Kris Joseph refused to let his shooting struggles bother him.

Even though he entered Friday night’s game shooting just 31.4 percent from the field, that wouldn’t slow him down against Michigan.

“I was not overthinking, overanalyzing,” Joseph said after the game. “I am just more so going out there within the team’s structure and concept, not forcing anything up there.”

Joseph exploded for a season-high 22 points to lead then-No. 9 Syracuse to a 53-50 victory over the Wolverines at Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, N.J. With the win, the Orange advanced to the championship game of the Legends Classic the following night, where SU would defeat Georgia Tech to win the tournament.

Against Michigan, guard Scoop Jardine scored 11 points with five assists, and forward Rick Jackson posted his fourth consecutive double-double with a 10-point, 12-rebound performance.

Michigan, a young team that started three freshmen and a sophomore, grabbed 12 first-half offensive rebounds and drilled six 3-pointers in the half. The Wolverines led by two at halftime.

But it was Joseph and his 5-of-9 first-half shooting that carried the Orange. The forward was in a zone he couldn’t find in SU’s first four games. Joseph had 12 points at halftime, keeping Syracuse in the game.

“I saw the shot going in for him early,” Jardine said after the game. “I kicked it to him and he hit a couple of 3s. Once you see that as a player, you are going to be confident throughout the game.”

Out of the break, the forward was still hot.

The rest of the Orange, however, was not. Aside from Joseph, SU shot just 33 percent in the second half.

“Our real problem is not our defense, it is our offense,” SU head coach Jim Boeheim said after the game. “It is not where we need it to be. We are struggling shooting the ball from the perimeter.”

Joseph scored seven of the Orange’s first 11 points in the second half. He made two free throws to tie the game, then connected on a 3 to give Syracuse a 36-33 lead.

After a jumper by Jackson, the Wolverines responded with five points in less than a minute to knot the score at 38.

But on the next possession, Syracuse retook the lead with another basket from Joseph.

“The offense is going to be there,” Joseph said after the game. “Someone is going to step up at some point in the game.”

The two sides fought back and forth for the next nine minutes, with the Orange barely clinging to the lead. After Stu Douglass hit a 3 for Michigan to give the Wolverines a 45-44 lead, Joseph fed Jardine for a 3 to put Syracuse ahead for good.

After Douglass missed a 3, Joseph grabbed the rebound and took it the other way. In transition, the forward nailed a step-back jump shot that gave Syracuse a four-point lead.

Even after his previous shooting woes in the Carrier Dome, Joseph bounced back at a neutral site to spearhead the Orange’s win over a feisty opponent.

“This gym kind of resembles the Dome with the open space in the back,” Joseph said, referring to Boardwalk Hall. “So I kept shooting.”

FINAL FOUR FROM PAGE 20

the nature of the NCAA Tournament — a single-elimination free-for-all that yields bountiful upsets — and the nature of the sport of basketball.

Frustrated fans criticized Boeheim’s coaching methods and complained about the poor play down the stretch against Ohio State. Looking back on the game a year later, though, Boeheim credited the Buckeyes.

“One thing we can’t accept in this world is that sometimes, one team’s just better than the other,” Boeheim said. “They just make

better plays.”

Boeheim said he got his hair cut Tuesday morning and his barber told him that 10 different fans yapped about Syracuse’s shortcomings while he cut their hair. Even with the way his zone has suffocated and bullied teams all tournament long, fans expected more.

“I didn’t ask him what they were saying,” Boeheim said, drawing a chuckle from the media assembled in the Carmelo K. Anthony Basketball Center.

It happens most years, Boeheim said.

People expect Syracuse to make the Final Four, the Orange comes up just a little bit short and fans swoop in with criticism. This year, though, he said fewer people picked SU to head to Atlanta.

QUARTERBACKS FROM PAGE 20

The competition is truly open. Entering last Saturday’s scrimmage, the number of reps each quarterback has taken with the first team differs by just two. No quarterback has taken more than 65, and none fewer than 63.

Two weeks into practice, the Orange isn’t any closer to choosing a starter for SU’s opener with Penn State on Aug. 31 in East Rutherford, N.J. As quarterbacks coach Tim Lester said, it is all “a process.”

“It’s early to tell, though naturally, you’d like to do that,” Lester said, “but the numbers have been telling us that it’s going to be a fun next about two or three weeks.”

Though the process is underway, a decision is still far. The competition breaks into two parts. The first, Lester said, involves learning.

Then, a decision will come. Once everyone’s playing field is even, Lester and the Syracuse coaching staff will be able to determine who can execute best and be the ideal fit for the program. Just because someone picks the system up fastest, doesn’t mean he can execute it best, Lester said.

For now, the quarterbacks are most concerned with figuring out the “verbage” of the offense, Kinder said.

And that’s all part of the process — even for Lester.

Several times during Saturday’s prac-

luke rafferty | asst. photo editor JAMES SOUTHERLAND speaks to reporters at the Melo Center on Tuesday. The No. 4-seed Orange squares off against No. 4-seed Michigan in the Final Four on Saturday night. The winner faces Louisville or Wichita State in the championship on Monday.

But Boeheim picked Syracuse to go to the Final Four in his own bracket, and his pick was spot on.

The Orange is back where it wanted to be last year, where only four previous Syracuse teams have been and where few expected them to be.

Syracuse forward James Southerland said he felt the Orange came up a little bit short in each of his first three years. Early exits against Butler and Marquette his freshman and sophomore seasons, respec-

tively, along with the loss to Ohio State, made making the Final Four in his final go-around that much sweeter.

Fair said he walks by the 2003 championship game against Kansas playing on the wall of the Melo Center all the time. It’s a constant reminder why the players spend hours upon hours for one goal, and that everything they do could yield unrivaled euphoria.

Now Syracuse is just two games away. It

got past the Elite Eight and will tango with a scorching hot Michigan team on Saturday night. Fair said reaching the semifinals is great, but the Orange isn’t done yet.

“Everybody wants to make the Final Four, and I think our motivation to get here was just so high,” Fair said. “Now we’re here and we’ve got to close it out with a national championship.” tbhass@syr.edu

tice, a play would be called and he would need to stop and think.

“I’d be like, ‘What’s the signal for that?’”

Lester said. “And they’d look at me and I’m processing through what’s the signal for that.”

“One talent that most people don’t know about Kinder is he can sing and dance pretty good.”

Alec Lemon

FORMER SU WIDE RECEIVER

Loeb entered the spring as the presumed favorite to succeed Nassib. When former SU wide receiver Alec Lemon lived with Loeb last season, almost every conversation revolved around football. Though Lemon was a starter and Loeb just a backup, the wide receiver often leaned on Loeb whenever he had questions about the playbook or simply wanted to talk football.

Even when Lemon returns to his old apartment, where Loeb still lives, the quarterback always has a playbook open, scribbling away with some new idea.

“Where the game slows down most now is pre-snap because of the information I’ve gotten over the years,” Loeb said. “It’s how much you can think and make as many critical decisions before the ball’s snapped.

Though Loeb brings his wealth of knowledge and experience to the table, Kinder and Hunt have their strengths, too.

Lemon knew about Kinder’s outgoing personality before the quarterback joined the Orange. Lemon hosted him on his first recruiting visit, and right away he could tell what type of person he was.

“One talent that most people don’t know about Kinder is he can sing and dance pretty good,” Lemon said.

Though teammates chide him for it in the locker room, it’s the extroverted personality he carries everywhere — he sings in the locker room, walking to class, anywhere — that helps him be a vocal leader.

On the field, he’s similar to Hunt. Both of their arsenals already include speed and athleticism, but they’re working to improve their arms, as well. Lemon has never seen Hunt on the basketball court, but he’s heard stories of Hunt’s prowess and athleticism.

Hunt struggled with his accuracy on deep balls during the first practice of the spring, but in the few weeks since, Lester has seen a world of change.

All it took for him was resetting his lower body. A light bulb went on.

All of the quarterback candidates are focusing on making small tweaks. Loeb needed to bend his knees more. Hunt said he needs to be a bit more vocal. Everyone needs to become more familiar with the vocabulary of the offense. Once the little things click, the competition will really begin.

“It’s kind of a learning curve,” Lester said, “so as they all learn what they’re doing, then we’re really going to see who can execute.” @dbwilson2 dbwilson@syr.edu

Charley Loeb The presumed favorite for the gig has played 29 games in his career as a holder and Ryan Nassib’s backup. As a quarterback, most of the pocket passer’s playing time has come in mop-up duty or in brief stretches that Nassib has spent sidelined with injury.

C.J. Fair remembers the disappointment he felt last season when Syracuse lost to Ohio State in the Elite Eight.

An integral member of a starstudded, unfairly deep team with championship aspirations — at team that spent six weeks as the No. 1 team in the nation — Fair didn’t think the run was supposed to end before the Final Four.

But it did, and Syracuse’s historic 34-3 season came to a disappointing conclusion. This year, though, the Orange earned the Elite Eight win it coveted for 10 years. With the loss to Ohio State a distant memory, Syracuse got over the hurdle it recently struggled to conquer with a 55-39 win over No. 3-seed Marquette.

“We knew what it was like to come a game short of the Final Four,” Fair said. “Coming in playing against Marquette, we knew what was at stake and we didn’t want to experience that loss again.”

Syracuse was down just one point with less than seven minutes to go against Ohio State. A trip to New Orleans — a familiar venue for the Orange — was within reach.

All SU needed to do was outplay the Buckeyes for seven minutes. That was easier said than done, though, as Ohio State took command late in the game.

Jared Sullinger dominated down the stretch, and the Buckeyes prevailed 77-70 in a game with six lead changes and seven ties. Syracuse’s dream season was finished.

A team with three NBA Draft picks, the deepest bench in the country and an explosive offense was sent packing.

Rakeem Christmas, who started as a freshman last season, said losing in the Elite Eight – and seeing seniors Kris Joseph and Scoop Jardine go out in such gut-wrenching fashion – was a tough blow to take.

“Kris and Scoop, they put their hearts into it,” Christmas said. “After that feeling last year, I never wanted to feel it again.”

SU head coach Jim Boeheim said sometimes “that’s what happens.” Teams get close to the Final Four, but come up just short. It’s
