2010 shooting of local student causes ongoing surge in Syracuse gang violence

Virus prevents Mac Internet access

By Rachael Barillari ASST. NEWS EDITOR

Macs are no longer the virus-free computer.

Security researchers discovered a new computer virus infecting at least half a million Macs —approximately half of them in United States — about two weeks ago, according to an April 6 New York Times article. Last Tuesday, the virus started infecting comput-

ers at Syracuse University, said Information Technology and Services employee Dylan Katz.

The computer user does not need to click on a link or download any malware to get infected, according to the article. Instead, the program downloads itself and the malware’s creators gain unauthorized access to the victim’s computer.

Katz, a sophomore information studies major, said the issue

is called the flashback virus. He explained that there has been a vulnerability in Java computer programming starting six months ago that Apple did not act on. Usually, Apple patches itself instead of Mac users having to go through the Java website. Because it was not patched, someone was able to identify the vulnerability and made a virus for it.

fter the shooting of Kihary Blue, a 19-year-old football and basketball player at Henninger High School, the city of Syracuse experienced a surge of gang violence motivated by retaliation.

Although the shooting occurred in 2010, Common Councilor Bob Dougherty said that within the last 10-15 years the amount of inner-city gang violence seems to have dramatically increased, and it has become a growing concern for many Syracuse residents and officials.

Kahari Smith, a member of the V-Not gang, shot Blue while he was in his car Nov. 26, 2010. Although Blue was not a gang member himself, passengers in his car were members of the Bricktown gang, according to a Dec. 3, 2010, article by The Post-Standard.

Blue was hospitalized after the shooting. His family chose to take him off life support Dec. 1 when it was deter-

mined that Blue could not survive his injuries, according to the article.

This, Dougherty said, sparked a chain of retaliation-motivated gang violence in the city.

“It’s just been one payback after another since then,” he said.

The shooting of Blue prompted Bricktown gang member Saquan Evans, 21, to shoot at 110 gang member Rashaad Walker. The shots hit Walker’s son, 20-month-old Rashaad Walker Jr., and killed him, according to a July 30 Post-Standard article.

Evans mistakenly thought the 110 gang was responsible for the shooting

Students, faculty survey Vice Chancellor Spina’s overall performance

By Sarah Schuster STAFF WRITER

Vice Chancellor and Provost Eric Spina is up for his first evaluation by students and faculty at Syracuse University.

The vice chancellor is evaluated every five years. This year, students and faculty were asked to complete a survey via their syr.edu email accounts. Less than 10 percent of the student population has filled out the survey, according to an email sent to students Tuesday.

As vice chancellor and provost, Spina is the chief academic administrator at SU. In the Vice Chancellor Review Statement, Spina described his different roles as vice chancellor and provost.

He said the title of provost means he is responsible for the quality of academic programs and research enterprise.

He is also supervisor of SU’s deans.

“As supervisor of the deans, I work with them to build, encourage and support the faculty in the delivery of

high-quality academic programs,” he said in his statement.

Spina said his role as vice chancellor means that he supports the activities of the chancellor. This includes fundraising, student affairs and budget planning.

The survey itself consists of basic questions about the quality of academics, top concerns and the evaluation of the vice chancellor himself. The survey encouraged students that, even if they had no opinion about the vice

chancellor, their responses about topics like registration and classroom facilities were still valuable because they reflected areas that Spina oversees.

Samuel Gorovitz, philosophy professor and chair of the review committee, said the survey about the vice chancellor is given out every five years because the University Senate requires the chief academic officer to be reviewed during that time frame.

Gorovitz said the choice of five

years was probably historical, and the drafters in USen must have thought five was a reasonable compromise.

“It’s very costly in time and effort do a comprehensive performance survey, and one wants to allow enough time for the holder of any office to establish a significant record,” he said.

To do the survey every two to three years would be inefficient, he said, because it would not give the office

Stone Canoe to award veterans’ literary works

By Nick Smith STAFF WRITER

Stone Canoe, Syracuse University’s annual arts, literature and social commentary journal, will have a new addition to the list of awards it gives for works of short fiction, creative nonfiction, technology writing, visual arts, arts leadership and poetry writing.

Starting with its 2013 issue, Stone Canoe will begin awarding the Institute for Veterans of Military Families Prize for Written Work by a Veteran, said Editor Bob Colley.

“We welcome the idea since it will hopefully encourage more veterans to send us their work. We have published a few pieces by vets in the past, but not many have been submitted,” Colley said.

He said the award, which will be given in January at the launch celebration for the journal’s seventh edition, was the idea of James Schmeling, the managing director of SU’s Institute for Veterans of Military Families.

The prize will be awarded to a U.S. veteran for a previously unpublished written work of fiction, nonfiction

Gala recognizes student leadership, dedication

By Nicki Gorny STAFF WRITER

White tablecloths and black and gold balloons created an elegant atmosphere in Goldstein Auditorium, where attendees gathered Tuesday evening for the 44 Stars of Excellence Awards and Gala Celebration.

The gala recognizes exemplary Syracuse University students for the hard work and dedication they have shown in various areas of campus and community involvement, said

Sarah Cappella, associate director of the Office of Student Activities, which organizes the gala.

“We try and recognize our students for all the hard work that they’ve put in throughout the year,” she said.

Students often do not receive recognition throughout the year, Cappella said, because so much focus is directed toward the actual events planned by students and campus organizations. The gala is an end-ofthe-year event to publicly recognize

students’ involvement.

“We may not say it on a daily basis,” she said, “but we want to show you that we are grateful and thankful for all of the things that you do for our office and for our students.”

The gala began with a catered dinner at about 6:30 p.m. and awards began at 7 p.m.

Eighteen awards, addressing many areas of campus and community involvement, were given to both individual students and

organizations. They included the Mary Ann Shaw Center for Public and Community Service Award; the Public Affairs Award for the Most Outstanding Media or Publication; and the Musical Performing Group of the Year Award, among others.

The most prestigious award is the Senior Vice President Award for Outstanding Senior Leadership, which is given to two seniors who are considered the strongest undergraduate student

SU, UConn face off in blood drive competition

By Meredith Newman STAFF WRITER

The basketball season may be over, but the rivalry between Syracuse University and University of Connecticut is still as competitive as ever.

The “Are you up for the challenge?

Give blood” competition kicked off April 4. Students, faculty and staff of both SU and UConn are competing against one another in hopes of donating the most blood throughout the month of April.

Last year, SU managed to retrieve a victory over UConn, who was the previ-

ous year’s winner. SU donated 419 pints of blood, while UConn donated 418.

Julia Collier, account manager for Syracuse’s American Red Cross headquarters, said she believes the old, bitter rivalry is being used for good in this competition.

“In a sense, we’re taking a rivalry that exists in one arena and transferring it into something a little more jovial,” Collier said. “It’s something both schools can do to promote the need for blood in their own respective communities while still maintaining that playful rivalry.”

Once donated, the pints of blood stay local, Collier said. The units are first tested at the Red Cross labs for any indication of disease. The blood is then given to local New York hospitals for anyone who might need it, whether it is for someone who has cancer or for someone hurt in a car accident, Collier said.

The competition is effective, Collier said, because of the large amount of diverse people on the SU campus.

“We try to make ourselves present in places where young people are going to be, so we want to be on cam-

pus as much as possible,” she said.

To entice college students to donate blood, Collier said, the most effective method is free giveaways.

From free participant T-shirts to raffles for a new iPad, the Red Cross creates fun incentives for healthy college students to donate blood.

Collier said fraternities, as well as athletic clubs and teams, are among the biggest donators.

“The younger you are when you start donating, the more likely you are to keep donating throughout

‘I Can Be President’ Barbie displays updated thoughts, but still shows flaws

wanted to be president of the United States when I was 9. I ran for president of my fourth-grade class, took up an interest in government and felt politically empowered until I realized the extent of my influence was raising money for blowup furniture in the classroom.

Upon entering my teenage years, my goal shifted from wanting to be a politician to pursuing a career in writing about political issues. Even though I changed my mind, my dreams always remained professional: politics or journalism.

When it came to inspiration and influences from childhood play toys, I was left with Malibu Barbie and Barbie’s Dream House.

But this is no longer the case. Mattel recently announced the highly anticipated and forthcoming edition of Barbie — “I Can Be President” Barbie. Critics and skeptics are hesitant to embrace the toy company’s attempt at progress, noting it’s posing as the next best thing after pink Legos “for girls.” Others are hyped over Barbie’s new career

not a barbie girl path, claiming it can play a large role in shaping the minds of young women. We’ve come a long way since Princess Barbie, complete with a pink fluffy dress, crown and castle.“I Can Be President” Barbie signifies this leap in personal politics.

I plan on purchasing the doll for myself when it hits shelves this August. I’ll also be buying it for my two younger cousins and any other young women I can think of who still play with dolls, but I can’t help but admire the irony of the dolls’ name.

“I Can Be President” implies it’s an aspiration or a goal. “I Am President” Barbie would be a con-

crete reality or scenario. It’s disappointing Mattel didn’t think to use the name “President Barbie.”

“I Can Be” references potential, but “I am” translates to decisive, strong and successful.

This choice of phrasing is gendered when considering play toys that are marketed toward young boys. Everyone’s favorite soldier isn’t named “I Can Be G.I. Joe.” The actual doll isn’t so much the issue as much as the idea that Barbie “can be” president, leaving women to think that they are capable, but still can’t actually acquire the title.

While the specific language is problematic, it unfortunately mirrors the status quo of the limited number of female politicians and women represented in government.

There are only six female governors, 17 female senators and, despite Hillary Clinton’s “19 million cracks in the glass ceiling,” there still hasn’t been a female president or vice president. Women only make up 23.6 percent of state legislatures, according to Off the Sidelines, a project started

last year by Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand of New York.

The gender gap in U.S. government is also reflected on college campuses. The Washington Post reported in 2011 that less than one-third of student presidents are women at the 50 highestranked colleges by U.S. News and World Report.

The release of “I Can Be President” Barbie comes in an election year when the realization a woman will not be running for president again in 2012 forces us to question why women still can’t break past the notion that they “can be” president and be voted into office.

Maybe the problem isn’t with Mattel or even Barbie, but this new toy can be an opportunity to address the issues of gender inequality in U.S. politics. In the meantime, I’m preordering mine.

Women must take extra precautions when alone in parking lots at night

Personal safety tips for women brought to you by Simple Self Defense for Women.

The No. 1 question asked by women: “What do you do when a stranger approaches you in a parking lot?”No one likes to be rude, but bad guys can take advantage of your good nature. So what do you do if you’re approached?

The best self-defense is to not allow yourself to be put in a vulnerable situation in the first place.

The best way to do this is to keep your distance from this person. Everyone has his or her own per-

LET TER TO THE EDITOR sonal space, and if you allow that stranger to come too close to you, you may not have time to react.

The best way to keep your distance from a potential attacker is to extend your hand up in front of you at eye level and ask that person what they want. It is important you have it at the eye level of that person, which is more intimidating.

You can say whatever you feel comfortable saying to that person, but do it with purpose. Say

it with an authoritative voice. Excuse me, can I help you? Please keep your distance, what do you want? This act alone can improve your odds of survival. The person approaching you now knows that you are well aware of him. Bad guys want the element of surprise and easy targets.

With your hand up as it is, anyone in the parking lot looking in your direction can see this could be a bad situation. You don’t even have to say anything. Your hand up says it all. This action is a universal language that you do not want that person any closer. Most people have cellphones

and can call 911 to report that something is going on in the parking lot that does not look right.

Keep in mind if that person is a good guy, he will apologize and walk in a different direction. If not, no matter what they are saying you must keep your distance because you may be in serious personal danger. Please keep in mind this technique is a preventative measure to avoid an attack, and it will improve your odds of survival, but it is also a test. This will tell you right away if you’re in danger and if you will need to react.

National High Five Day important holiday to celebrate

C

lose your eyes and take a moment to envision life three weeks from now.

You’ve finished your last final.

There are no more all-nighters in your immediate future. No more stress over essays, exams or AirOrangeX-induced mental breakdowns.

Your semester is over. You have three glorious months ahead of you.

No matter what your summer plans are, they likely don’t involve schoolwork. (And if you’re a graduating communications major, like me, they likely don’t involve any kind of work at all.)

Breathe that sigh of relief. Ahhhh.

You walk onto the Quad and see your best friend, who just finished his or her last exam as well. You walk, almost prance, toward him or her.

You both know what’s going to happen next. You’re getting closer, you feel your arm beginning to rise, you watch your best friend’s rise as well. You keep walking and when the time comes, your hands approach each other, both exerting the necessary amount of force that will result in that beautiful, celebratory, victorious slap.

The high five.

The most triumphant of all communicative motions. In one swift movement, you say to each other, “F*ck yeah.” It’s authentic, it’s unapologetic and it says to the world, “I am a boss.”

With Thursday being National High Five Day, there’s no better time to pay homage to this glorious exchange of joy.

In a July 2011 article published in ESPN The Magazine, Jon Mooallem sought to uncover the high five history.

After denouncing a myth that Lamont Sleets, a basketball player for Murray State College between 1979 and 1984, created it, Mooallem chronicles two likely origins. One being Glenn Burke, an outfielder for the Los Angeles Dodgers in the late 1970s and the other University of Louisville basketball player Derek Smith in the 1978-79 season.

Legend has it Burke invented the high five at Dodger Stadium on Oct. 2, 1977. Dusty Baker made his 30th home

run, which made the Dodgers the first team in history to have four sluggers.

“Burke, waiting on deck, thrust his hand enthusiastically over his head,” Mooallem wrote. “Baker, not knowing what to do, smacked it.” And the high five was created.

Unless it was Smith. Legend has it Smith invented the high five at a practice during the 1978-79 season. “Forward Wiley Brown went to give a plain old low five to his teammate, Derek Smith. Out of nowhere, Smith looked Brown in the eye and said, ‘No. Up high,’ and the high five was created.”

Mooallem concluded, “The story of the high five is a ghost story.”

But to imagine what our culture would have been like without the high five, is to paint a picture of a society aching for a more expressive means of connection. Something less formal than a handshake but not as intimate as a hug.

Aced the exam you pulled an allnighter for, even though you spent the entire night on whatshouldwecallme?

High five.

Scored the winning touchdown, home run or beer pong cup? High five.

Cleaned your apartment, finished your laundry and called your Mom? All in time to day drink? High five!

Successful one-night stand with a hottie? Double high five for you.

So take the day to appreciate whoever created this gesture. Our generation would not be the same without it.

And then celebrate. Not only is it National High Five Day, it’s Thursday — I’ll see you at Chuck’s. High fives are on me.

Students must fully inform themselves about the bill before supporting it. Students also should consider all the different repercussions and possibilities concerning student loan interest rates.

The bill Schumer is endorsing comes from a senator in Rhode Island and would keep the current student loan interest rate for one more year.

There are no provisions for what would happen the year after the bill runs out. It’s unclear whether the rate would jump to a much higher interest rate. Instead of increasing to 6.8 percent, the rate could

potentially rise much higher. But the bill could also give government officials more time to look into different options that would keep the student loan interest rate from rising after the one-year mark is up.

Student loan interest rates are of great concern now, as unemployment levels for college graduates are high. The overall national unemployment rate is at 8.2 percent. Students do not need to begin to pay back Stafford loans until six months after they graduate, but not all students will have secured jobs six months after graduation.

were infected, Katz said.

This virus creates a backdoor on the victim’s computer so the creator can upload tools like key stroke loggers that watch what the user types and has the ability to gain personal information, Katz said.

Because of the creator has the ability to access the victim’s information, SU has created a quarantine. This means the infected computer is kicked off of AirOrangeX and the victim must have his or her computer restarted, or freshstarted, to regain access. This is why there has been uproar on campus, Katz said.

President Dylan Lustig. “It’s an interesting opportunity — a unique opportunity.”

The event will take place from 6 to 9 p.m. in the Joyce Hergenhan Auditorium and is one of 17 forums being held at college campuses across the country this spring, according to the release.

Registration has reached its capacity, but the forum will be streamed online and on television monitors in the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications, according to the event’s website.

which has been the major issue. He said the ITS department will likely be seeing computers with this issue for the rest of the year, but once everyone does the updates, this problem specifically should be finished. The department has completed about 200 fresh-starts so far, Katz said.

“Usually, a fresh-start costs $34.95, but for this particular situation, with the flashback virus, we have not been charging at all,” Katz said.

He explained the reason for the quarantine is to protect the network, SU and students.

Katz said programs have supposedly been created to get rid of the virus, but these programs have not been thoroughly tested and are not yet trusted.

ITS employees have been instructed to wipe out the infected computers completely and reinstall the operating system, Katz said. This ensures a 100

percent chance that the virus is gone.

“By doing that, we are not giving the virus any chance to come back,” Katz said.

Although it could not be immediately confirmed

by SU Bookstore employees, the store appears to be completely sold out of external hard drives.

Apple has now patched where the virus enters Mac systems, Katz said. This means after fresh-starting a Mac, as long as the computer user does system updates, especially for Java, the computer will not obtain the virus again.

Katz said Apple’s marketing strategy has been hurt because the company markets its computers as virus-free.

“Now that someone has made a virus for Macs, I think that we are going to start seeing more,” Katz said.

Michael Rogers, a sophomore television, radio and film major, is a student whose

Mac has been infected. After he received a notification on his Mac that its software had found and deleted malware, Rogers downloaded free, additional software from CNN. com to ensure the virus was no longer on his computer.

The virus had been removed from his Mac’s system, but SU’s wireless network had detected that Rogers’ computer was infected at some point, and his Mac was quarantined.

Though he can still connect to the Internet through an Ethernet cable, he said it is a large inconvenience, and he is somewhat confused about how to save his important files.

“For someone who is not tech inclined, I am unsure how to back everything up,” Rogers said.

He said he plans to get his computer freshstarted in the near future.

the discussion via Twitter with the hashtag #WHatSU. SU, SA, the Cornell University Student Assembly, Imagining America: Artists and Scholars in Public Life, the White House Office of Public Engagement and the U.S. Department of Education Office of Communications and Outreach are sponsoring the event.

The event will initially focus on the challenges of environmental sustainability and urban development, Lustig said.

Later, it will shift to 45 minutes of open forum dialogue, and there will be panels on student-driven solutions to these issues and civil engagement, he said.

SU was a logical place to hold the event

because of its rich history of promoting active citizenship, Lustig said.

“It’s something that this school has always been huge on and something we want to drive home to the country — the fact that we value civic engagement,” he said.

Officials from the Department of Education, the Office of Public Engagement, spoken-word artists, local business leaders, and SU and Cornell students are scheduled to speak.

But the possibility for higher-profile individuals to make an appearance also exists, Lustig said.

“Usually, when bigger people decide to come, they decide to do it a day before,” he said. “We’ll see. We have our fingers crossed for some cool people to come.”

Natalie Raps, president of the Cornell University Student Assembly, said the discussion is meant to revolve around issues students are passionate about.

“These broader themes that the conference

starts off with is not necessarily what the summit is supposed to be about,” Raps said.

“It’s supposed to be open dialogue, organic discussion about things that are not only relevant to the entire community, but to you and your friends.”

A similar event at the University of Pennsylvania inspired students to collaborate on solving the issue of food deserts, which are areas where residents do not have access to a supermarket, Raps said.

Learning how to generate this type of positive change with others is the essence of the series, she said.

“It’s not just a conference where people talk at you,” Raps said. “Everyone in the audience is part of your community, and they wouldn’t be there if they weren’t willing and interested in being a part of the change.”

dismissed Syracuse City School District officials debate closing Elmwood Elementary School to bridge budget gap

By Jessica Iannetta

T

STAFF WRITER

he Syracuse City School District’s proposed budget recommends that Elmwood Elementary School close due to budget deficits and the school’s history of poor academic performance.

The district is currently facing a $35 million budget deficit and does not have the funds to provide the school with the resources necessary to improve its performance. Closing Elmwood Elementary would save the district $3 million, said Commissioner of Education Michelle Mignano.

In the 2010-2011 academic school year, only 22 percent and 20 percent of third graders were proficient in English and Math, respectively.

Fourth and fifth graders performed worse in both subjects, according to an April 10 PostStandard article.

Given the circumstances, Mignano said she agrees with closing the school.

“I support giving those children the best fighting chance at a quality education by putting them in places we have supports for them,” she said.

The school district has tried to close Elmwood in the past, but was met with opposition by parents and community members. This year though, the community has been generally supportive. Those who attended the parents’ meeting held by the superintendent found that the data and reasoning behind the closing was made much clearer to them this year than last year, said Mignano.

“I think it’s too early to suggest that the bulk of people are completely on board,” she said. “I believe there’s a better framework now to understand why and to manage it both emotionally and communally.”

Another factor in the closing of Elmwood is that it is not the home school for about half of its students, meaning that these students have a school closer to them that they can attend.

The other half will be given priority in the

lottery the district holds each year for students who wish to transfer to a different school in the district. The lottery is subject to space availability at the various schools, said Syracuse Common Councilor Nader Maroun.

Commissioner of Education Calvin Corriders said he believes the other schools in the district have the capacity to handle the students from Elmwood.

Enrollment numbers saw a slight spike last year but have generally been on the decline for the past seven or eight years due to new charter schools and various other factors, he said.

“There will be an increased enrollment at some of the other schools,” he said. “But if you look at our student population, we’ve lost enough students to close two or three schools.”

The Syracuse City School District Board of Education will vote on the budget April 18. If the budget is approved, then by extension, the school will close, Corriders said.

In the last two years, the school district has struggled to balance its budget as costs continue to exceed revenue. More than 700 positions have been cut and last year the district was forced to use $10 million from its savings account. In order to prevent more layoffs, Superintendent Sharon Contreras proposed the district borrow $24 million dollars against future state aid, a process known as chapter 1 accrual, said Commissioner of Education Bill Bullen in a statement.

“This helps us avoid deep cuts this year, but

illustration by emmett baggett | art director it potentially moves our district closer to financial insolvency and sets us up for disaster next year if the state does not change the way they finance our urban school districts,” Bullen said.

Maroun said the Syracuse City School District needs a lot of improvement, and cautioned that such a big turnaround cannot happen all at once. However, he said he believes Contreras

is working hard to put the school district on the right path.

“I believe that she and her team are moving us in that direction and that will be significant for our community and for our kids to have the best education possible,” he said. “We’re going to get there.” jliannet@syr.edu

leaders. This year’s recipients are Donald SaintGermain, an African-American studies and policy studies major, and Allie Forbes, a psychology and sociology major.

Though the recipient criteria vary with each award, Cappella said general characteristics include perseverance, dedication, integrity and leadership qualities.

“I think everyone in this room loves Syracuse and everything it’s given us and is trying to give back any way we can, small or large,” said Matt Cohn, a senior television, radio and film major who was nominated for the Career Services Emerging Leader Award.

“It’s always an unbelievable feeling — with all the work that you’ve put in — to be recognized for something,” said Marc Lomasky, a senior sport management major.

Lomasky received the Mary Ann Shaw Center for Public and Community Service Award for his philanthropic work with the Children’s

“Kahari Smith and V-Not shoots at Bricktown gang. Bricktown gang responds by shooting at what they thought was the perpetrators of that, that being the 110 gang. It’s doubly tragic that this 20-month-old child was shot at by members of the Bricktown gang and they didn’t even have the right gang,” said Assistant U.S. Attorney John Katko in the article.

Miracle Network and with the Jim and Juli Boeheim Foundation.

But the awards are about more than recognition. For Yiwei Wu, senior international relations and advertising major and advertising representative at The Daily Orange, receiving an award means creating momentum for the future. Wu is managing editor of the LGBT interest magazine, “The Outcrowd,” which received the Associate Vice President Award for Positive Advocacy.

“This definitely means a lot for the magazine and also for the LGBTQ group on campus,” she said. “I really appreciate the recognition for all the hard work that everybody put into this. It’ll give us more momentum to do a better job next year, keep building our readership and inform the campus more about LGBTQ in an entertaining way.”

Saint-Germain, who received an award for positive advocacy as well, also said he hoped his work toward community involvement at SU would continue in the future.

Said Saint-Germain: “Hopefully the younger people who come after you see the work you left, and then they can try to take it to the next level.” nagorny@syr.edu

at least 25 gangs in the city, some of which have been around for at least 20 years. The problem is certainly increasing, Dougherty said.

On March 23, Demetrius Hackett shot and killed Chance Gathers in retaliation for the shooting of his brother, according to an April 10 Post-Standard article.

Hackett, 19, was arraigned on charges of second-degree murder and second-degree criminal possession of a weapon, according to the article.

He is accused of shooting Gathers, 33, while Gathers was on his porch on Kenmore Avenue.

Syracuse Police Department Chief Frank Fowler said in the article that it is unknown whether

SPINA

holder enough time to make a significant attribution. Likewise, it would be inefficient to give the survey every 10 years, as it would give no time for the survey results to be applied.

Gorovitz said the survey was designed so students could skip questions they felt they couldn’t answer. If a student didn’t know anything about Spina’s character, they could skip questions pertaining to his leadership qualities. But if a student did have a significant interaction with the vice chancellor, those reactions would be welcome.

Harris Leung, a sophomore political science and international relations major, said he took the survey despite not knowing who Spina is.

Because he is part of the Student Association, he said felt he had an obligation to give serious responses.

“I’d rather have someone answering seriously than have 10 kids answer who aren’t serious,” he said. “You’re paying for the service.

You are the customer at a private university.”

Though evaluating is important, he said he wished he knew more about the vice chancellor before taking the survey.

“It’s a nice gesture,” he said. “We just don’t know who he is.”

But Gorovitz said he wasn’t concerned about the apparent lack of student response to the survey, as it received a strong response from faculty and staff. There have been 2,000 completed responses from faculty and staff, and about 1,100 from students, and they’re still coming in.

“That’s a lot of information,” he said. “We’d love to see more responses coming in, but I don’t think the solidity of the evaluation is at any way at risk on the basis on volume of responses we’ve gotten.”

Students have until Friday to complete the survey. The Vice Chancellor Review Statement is attached to the beginning the survey, and it provides more information about Spina and his duties on campus.

“I’m very appreciative of every single instance of a student who provided a response,” Gorovitz said, “no matter how much, or little, a student had to say.” seschust@syr.edu

the shooting is gang-related. But many of the shootings or cases of shots being heard in the city are, in fact, acts of gang violence, Dougherty said.

“It’s almost always one gang shooting at another,” he said. “All these random shots are almost always gang-related. It’s unfortunate.”

SPD Sgt. Gary Bulinski said gang violence is an issue that is being addressed in the city of Syracuse.

Bulinski said SPD does track and monitor the various gangs in the city. One of the hardest parts, he said, is trying to determine whether an act of criminal violence was actually an act of gang violence.

“Sometimes there can be criminal incidents that occur, and we don’t know that it’s gangrelated,” Bulinski said.

But SPD does use “concentrated and directed enforcement” in areas that tend to have high rates of gang violence, Bulinski said.

Another way city officials attempt to prevent gang violence is through the use of the federal Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, said Lance Denno, Syracuse common councilor. The RICO Act is a law that essentially prosecutes organized crime, Denno said.

Syracuse was one of the first and only cities

that used the RICO laws for the federal prosecution of organized crime, Denno said. City officials started doing this in 2003, after the prosecution of 24 gang members who were accused of using systematic violence to protect the gang’s drug trade on the Syracuse Southside.

Syracuse was one of the cities that were more successful in the use of these laws, Denno said.

But, he added, gang violence is still a leading concern for the police department.

“The bottom line is that it’s a continuing problem, one which I think the Syracuse Police Department has certainly had some success in — both tracking, investigating and prosecuting — but I’m sure they’d be the first to admit that it’s an ongoing problem,” he said.

City officials are particularly concerned with reaching out to young adults within the school system. Denno said there are currently a number of ongoing initiatives within the Syracuse City School District, SPD and the community to help curb the alarming amount of inner-city gang violence.

Said Denno: “It’s a threat to … everyone in the community, not just the local community, but the entire city as a whole.”

the sweet stuff in the middle

Say cheese

Celebrate a classic by keeping it simple, mixing it up

S

By Jillian D’Onfro STAFF WRITER

ome things in life don’t require explanation, but merely celebration. The fact that April is National Grilled Cheese Month is one of them.

My middle school years were a grilled cheese heyday. Even picky eaters can’t protest the simply delicious combination of bread and cheese. So I decided to channel that mindset, but with a twist. My dining partner and I cooked up some gourmet grilled cheese sandwiches with local ingredients from the Saturday CNY Regional Farmers Market near the Carousel Center.

The result: two knock-your-socksoff variations of the classic sandwich. We then took the regular route for our third sandwich, gathering supplies from Tops’ Market because, after all, it is its traditional style that earned the grilled cheese a month of national recognition.

Through the Iron Chef session, we created sandwiches that taste so good restaurants will clamor for our secrets soon. Until then, here are the recipes free of charge.

Happy cheesin’. jidonfro@syr.edu

“The Spice Machine”

“The Summer Special”

“The Cheddary Classic”

Ingredients: Rye bread, jalapeño and cayenne ched-

Ingredients: Rye bread, mozzarella soaked in olive oil

Ingredients: Rye bread, extra sharp cheddar cheese, toma-

dar cheese from Pironi’s Fine Cheeses, fresh jalapeño, tomato, avocado Taste: If you’re a lover of all things hot and spicy, push the limit with this sandwich, which combines two elements capable of setting mouths on fire. The final result wrought an incredible slow burn, cooled down by a hearty layer of mashed up avocado. This sandwich will transport taste buds south of the border.

Gooey factor: Pironi’s golden, spicy cheddar had great melting ability. The warm avocado enhanced the gooey quality of the sandwich as well, complementing the crisped rye bread.

from Pironi’s Fine Cheeses, tomato, onions, mushrooms from Heller’s Farm, balsamic vinaigrette Taste: This one is called The Summer Special because one bite will instantly bring to mind sitting outside on the porch on a warm June night. Light, fresh and crisp, this sandwich combined several subtle flavors to create one cohesive, hearty taste. The onions gave it a zesty crunch, and the locally made mozzarella added a delicate touch.

Gooey factor: The mozzarella melts thickly, so it doesn’t have much ooze factor. But it stretched and folded neatly around the chopped vegetables.

to made with Tops’ Market supplies Taste: It’s obvious why this sandwich is a kid lunchbox staple — it’s simply just delicious. Add tomato for a textural switch-up, and the vegetable will provide an extra, excellent thickness. Using extra sharp cheddar made the flavor quite bold.

Gooey factor: Because of its simplicity, this grilled cheese definitely achieved the greatest level of gooeyness. The hefty helping of cheddar melted fast and gushed out the sides of the sandwich after particularly big bites.

Don’t sweat it: Perspiration is natural, but shameful situations are easy to manage

H

ot weather can cause embarrassment.

Though Tuesday’s 87-degree, thermostat-breaking day was something to smile about, the potential for “sweat shame” was at an all-time high.

Our bodies can’t prevent sweat. Uncontrolled sweating can leave you flustered and flapping around campus like a socially awkward penguin. My “sweat score” is a solid A. So what’s the biology behind my 4.0? Sweating controls our body temperature and body water. But just because it’s natural doesn’t mean it’s socially acceptable.

Unfortunately, sweat strikes in all social situations: You resist dancing with hands in the air in case anyone stares at your armpits instead of your cleavage. You choose not to hug a friend because you might leave a damp sample. You bypass the “You’re hired” handshake at an interview, arms pinned to your side.

So what can we do about our body’s built-in temperature regulation system? Although there are multiple rumors of scary stories linking antiperspirant and cancer research, the American Cancer Society found no conclusive link. Deodorant masks odor, but it has no effect on visible sweat marks. If you want to stay dry, choose antiperspirant.

But before you comb the cosmetic aisle in Tops’ Market, I’ve gathered a few DIY sweat tips from my own years of sweat shame.

My life should have ended during cadet training in high school when I had to double salute my captain in sunny June. But I got the last laugh, marching around with sanitary towels stuck inside the armpits of my shirt.

Absorbent, discrete and great at multitasking, sanitary towels have power over sweat shame.

If you don’t have sanitary towels handy, don’t dance all night without breaks. If you know you start sweating after 27 minutes of dancing at house parties, slink off after 25 and stick your wrists under cold water, a surefire way to lower body temperature, according to Living Well’s

IONA HOLLOWAY

just do it website. Stick your head under the hand dryer if sweat is making your poof wilt. Then get back to the dance floor.

Lots of nervous undergraduates sat sweating in the Panasci Lounge this week while waiting for summer internship interviews. But even if your suit doesn’t fit properly, keep your jacket on. No one else knows a river is running down your back apart from you and your shirt.

A friend at my summer job experienced men who hide their sweat well. She met a policeman last month, took him home and realized he was a human faucet. But Haley Bomboy and Zach McCarrell, junior and freshman communication and rhetorical studies majors, respectively, and a couple of four months, don’t think there’s anything wrong with a bit of sex sweat.

“He said to me the other day, ‘I’m glad you sweat because I do, too,’” Bomboy said.

But for some, sweat washes the sex out of sexy. After several “maybe he won’t drown me this time” thoughts, my friend has resigned herself to only having shower sex. The elephant perspiring in the room ultimately became their relationship deal breaker.

Whatever social situation you’re in, don’t say, “Oh my god, I’m sweating like a b****,” to someone you barely know. It’s too much information.

Sweat never killed anyone: Don’t let it ruin spring heat waves. Get to know your flow and, if in doubt, flap like a penguin.

BEER IN THE NEWS

There’s always something new and exciting happening in the craft beer world. This week’s interesting news will please some who are already in the know and allow others to become privy to what all the fuss is about in the coming months.

Ithaca LeBleu release leaves many empty-handed

Last Saturday at 11 a.m., Ithaca Beer Co. released LeBleu, a sour blueberry ale originally intended to come out in December. It was on sale only at the brewery’s tasting room, and anyone in line after about 9 a.m. left emptyhanded, myself included. With only 1,200 bottles available, this beer was a blend of LeBleu’s past offerings and is the last of its kind since the head brewer left the company after crafting it. Ithaca Beer Co. even enforced a one-case-limit per person, disappointing many of the more than 150 people in line by noon. It was the fastest-selling release the company has ever had.

Samuel Adams hopes to can

In an April 12 WEEI radio interview, Boston Beer Co. chairman Jim Koch elaborated on a comment that Sierra Nevada “copied” Boston Beer. His response was that the company is cur-

rently working with can manufacturers to improve the brand’s beer can by making upgrades. Once they finalize plans, Sam Adams would be packaged in a can. He gives one year as a rough estimate for the can’s release.

The main motivation for Koch is the portability of cans, but also to stay competitive with Sierra Nevada, which released its famous Pale Ale and Torpedo Extra IPA in 12- and 16-ounce cans, respectively, in late February.

Goose Island’s Bourbon County Stout to be brewed year-round Goose Island’s Bourbon County Stout is known as the first bourbon barrelaged stout of its kind. The beer had been a seasonal release brewed just once per year with sought after varieties like Bourbon County Coffee Stout or Bramble Rye Bourbon County. Now, it will be open to year-round production and distribution. Since 1994, Goose Island has aged this 14.5 percent stout in bourbon barrels ranging from 8, 12, 16 and 18 years old. The beer costs about $25 for a 4-pack, but it may decrease in price as quantity goes up. As of March, it can be found at most beer stores around the nation and will likely continue to sell quickly.

OMANII’S LEMONADE HEAVEN 1206 South Ave (315) 741-3328

Hours: Monday through Saturday 11 a.m. to 8 p.m.

kristen parker | asst. photo editor Omanii’s Lemonade Heaven boasts its self-proclaimed “best lemonade in town.” Visitors of the quirkily decorated restaurant, decked out in pink and green hues, can sample other eclectic offerings on the menu, including chilidogs and soul food.

By Jillian D’Onfro STAFF WRITER

ith the sun finally beating down on Syracuse, there’s no better way to cool down and invoke memories of summer than by sipping on a giant glass of lemonade. Or, in this case, drinking from a giant Styrofoam cup.

With a yellow-golden gleam and enough ice to achieve the perfect chill, Omanii’s Lemonade Heaven’s signature drink combines sweet and sour flavors just right. Omanii’s boasts its namesake beverage on its menu: “Still the best lemonade in town.” It’s hard to argue against — most restaurants just serve the plastic bottled Minute Maid variety.

On such a hot afternoon, slurping that tangy, cool beverage was, well, heavenly and only cost $1.75 for 16 ounces. Located at 1206 South Ave., Omanii’s is a quirky and casual place. Plastic green and pink tablecloths cover the only two

tables, flanked by metal fold-up chairs. Sunlight streams through the expansive front window across from the counter.

Most striking are the decorations, which collectively look like a shrine to President Barack Obama. Laminated newspaper clippings clutter one of the restaurant’s walls.

A life-size cardboard cutout of a smiling Mr. President leans against another. Republican Party supporters might feel inclined to take their meal to go.

The menu is a rather eclectic read. From a soul food category boasting oxtail and beef ribs to three different types of fish sandwiches and sweet potato cheesecake, it caters to a diverse range of tastes.

My dining partner and I split the Chiliz Special: two chilidogs, fries, salad and a drink.

Even though the salad the special promised never came, the meal still felt like a good deal for its $8.50 price tag.

Only the waitress’ call that the rest of the food was ready at the front counter snapped me out of my lemonade nirvana.

At first glance at the chilidog, I knew the light-colored front of my f lowery dress wouldn’t make it through the meal unscathed. Overf lowing with hot, saucy meat, the dogs looked like a delicious accident waiting to happen. The smoky hotdog paired well with the slightly sweet and juicy beef chili. Although the roll got soggy pretty quickly, I didn’t mind the softness of the chili-infused bread.

Sure enough, a last bite of the chilidog resulted in a big splotch of sauce leaping onto my dress — embarrassing but worth it. Quick tip: Use the french fries, which are steaming hot, crisp and chock full of potato, to wipe up the remaining chili that slops off the dog.

MEN’S L ACROSSE

Maltz tallies career-high 6 goals; Dattilo owns faceoffs

By Chris Iseman and Andrew Tredinnick

replacement for Syracuse’s former crease attack Stephen Keogh.

Maltz continued to fool Hobart goaltender Peter Zonino, who repeatedly made superb saves to keep his team in the game.

Said Desko: “He was one of the few guys that was able to finish against this goaltender tonight.”

THE DAILY ORANGE

GENEVA, N.Y. — Derek Maltz refused to take all of the credit. Instead, he choose to include his teammates in his career night. Syracuse’s offense had a stellar 10-goal first half, with Maltz providing five of them.

To Maltz, it was the offense as a whole that deserved the credit.

“As an entire offense, we just like to build off practice, build off games,” Maltz said. “The way we played against Rutgers, we just wanted to keep it rolling. We did a great job in the first half. First quarter, we did a great job moving the ball. It was just a great all-around effort by our offense.”

The Orange attack scored a career-high six goals in the Orange’s 13-12 win over Hobart on Tuesday at Boswell Field, just three days after a four-goal performance against Rutgers. Maltz became the first Syracuse player to score six goals in a game since Kenny Nims accomplished the feat in 2008 against Villanova. He’s also the first Orange player to score at least five times in a game since attack Tim Desko scored five last season against Virginia.

Maltz positioned himself perfectly for each of his goals. He scored in transition just more than seven minutes into the game and scored on a feed from JoJo Marasco in a settled situation a minute later.

At the 12:58 mark of the second quarter, Kevin Drew scooped up the ground ball off a faceoff, ran the ball toward the Statesmen goal and found Maltz alone to the left of the cage. The attack took the feed and flipped it into the net.

He was at nearly the same place with 8:38 left.

Alone, next to the cage, Marasco found him once again. Head coach John Desko said SU’s scorers continued to try to find Maltz, and more often than not, they did.

“We were looking to Derek. He was getting open,” Desko said. “And in different ways, too. He got goals in the man-up, he got goals in fast breaks, he got goals in settled situations, so we were looking to him and he got open.”

All season, Maltz has been superb as a

Dattilo dominates Syracuse in the X Brian Megill knew it was going to be a tall task to try and command the faceoff X against Hobart.

The Statesmen boast the nation’s best faceoff specialist in the country, Bobby Dattilo, who entered the game winning two of every three draws he took to date. Dattilo displayed his proficiency against Syracuse on Tuesday, winning 18-of-28 draws. He helped Hobart control the possession in the second half and nearly willed the Statesmen to victory.

“My hat goes off to No. 36. He’s the best (faceoff specialist) in the country,” Megill said.

“We knew that coming in, and we tried to get a plan to battle him, and I think we did for a little bit there in the fourth and a little in the second.

But he knows what to do and how to counter what we do.”

The Orange used a steady rotation on faceoffs, utilizing five different players to try and disrupt Dattilo. Syracuse continued to struggle, like it has all season. Chris Daddio and Megill took more than half of the Orange’s draws, but went a combined 6-of-16.

The performance erased the momentum in the X that the Orange built with a strong game against Rutgers. Syracuse won 7-of-7 faceoffs in the third quarter Saturday and 17-of-26 for the game against the Scarlet Knights.

Even with SU’s struggles Tuesday, though, Desko felt that Syracuse did just enough at the X against the top player in the country at the position to emerge victorious.

Said Desko: “To come out of here with the faceoffs the way they went and the goaltender, to come out of here with a win is not a bad thing for us.” cjiseman@syr.edu adtredin@syr.edu

Wambold, Thomas add power to middle of Syracuse lineup

By David Propper STAFF WRITER

All season long, Syracuse has received some of its biggest hits from two of its most inexperienced players. Playing beyond their freshman standing, Julie Wambold and Carey-Leigh Thomas have come through time and time again.

Wambold showed it this past weekWho: Pittsburgh end against Notre Where: Skytop Softball Dame with a gameStadium winning home run.

When: Today, 3 p.m.

And Thomas rose to the occasion with a walk-off shot against Seton Hall two weeks ago.

“I’m pleased that mentally they’re just relaxed in who they are and what they do, and I think that’s pretty big for freshmen with the position they bat in,” SU head coach Leigh Ross said. “... They’re taking it one pitch at a time and relying on their natural ability.”

Batting back-to-back in the middle of the lineup, Wambold and Thomas have been steady contributors at the plate, helping power the Orange offense in their first season. Wambold is tied for first in the Big East with 10 home runs, and she leads SU in homers and RBI with 30 through 40 games. Thomas has nine roundtrippers and is third on the team in runs scored with 26. She’s also one of three players to start in every game this season.

UP NEXT

The freshmen will look to continue that production when the Orange faces Pittsburgh in a doubleheader at Skytop Softball Stadium on Wednesday. The first game is set for 3 p.m. Ross said while the emergence of the talented freshmen hasn’t been shocking, she is pleased with the boost Thomas and Wambold have provided a senior-laden team.

The two have developed a bond batting backto-back. If Thomas is retired, she immediately relays the scouting report to Wambold.

When one is doing well, the other usually follows suit.

“If I get a hit, then she usually gets a hit, and if I strikeout, she’ll strikeout next, too,” Thomas said. “I don’t know what’s going on.”

The pair has been supportive of each other all year. Before Wambold crushed the solo shot in the eighth inning against the Fighting Irish, she was just 1-for-9 in the series. But Thomas made sure she didn’t get discouraged.

“Before we go up to bat we usually talk to each other, saying, ‘Let’s get a hit, we got this, me and you together, we can start this up,’” Wambold said. “Usually, we just feed off each other.”

When Thomas started the year, she was timid around her teammates. She didn’t think she could wear a baseball cap because senior pitcher Jenna Caira did.

Thomas now dons a hat at third base and has rarely shown her youth on the field.

stacie fanelli | asst. photo editor CAREY-LEIGH THOMAS and Julie Wambold have helped power the SU offense as freshmen this year. Wambold’s 10 home runs tie her for the most in the Big East.

The same can be said for Wambold, who has provided a source of power in the lineup that needed to be filled after losing Hallie Gibbs, last year’s home-run leader, to graduation.

With the way the two carry themselves on the field, Ross doesn’t even notice they are firstyear players, she said.

In the end, Ross doesn’t care what year her players are, as long as they produce on the field.

“I really don’t look at kids as freshman, sophomore, junior, senior. I don’t really look at them like that when they’re on the field,” Ross said. “They’re just there to play ball.”

But what Ross does like to see is the freshmen’s carefree mentality. Regardless of the teams Thomas and Wambold go up against, their play goes unaffected.

And Thomas thinks it has come as a slight surprise to Ross that two freshmen are already proving themselves as worthy hitters on a stacked Syracuse roster.

“She didn’t know what to expect from us. She said that to us at the beginning,” Thomas said.

“We definitely opened her eyes to what we can and what she can expect from the future from us.” dgproppe@syr.edu

Another ranked opponent, another dominant first half for Syracuse.

The Orange sprinted out to a 10-3 lead over Cornell behind a balanced and efficient scoring effort.

SYRACUSE 16 “We came out prepared, ready to play and jumped CORNELL 8 on them,” SU head coach Gary Gait said in a phone interview.

No. 2 Syracuse (11-2, 4-0 Big East) cruised to a 16-8 victory over the No. 13 Big Red (8-4, 3-2 Ivy League) in Ithaca on Tuesday. The Orange earned its 10th consecutive win and knocked off its third straight ranked opponent to continue to cement its place among the elite teams in the country.

Sophomore Alyssa Murray led the way with seven points, scoring a game-high four goals to go with three assists. Junior Katie Webster and freshman Kailah Kempney chipped in with three goals apiece. “(Murray) was just really focused,” Gait

said. “… She was particularly focused tonight and played very well. She’s very confident in her game.”

Seven different Syracuse players scored on a 7-0 run to put the Orange ahead 9-1 with 7:32 remaining in the opening half.

Freshman Gabby Jaquith gave SU a 3-1 lead 13:21 into regulation, scoring off a feed from Webster. SU followed with a streak of five goals, each separated by no more than 80 seconds.

And Devon Collins provided the exclamation point, scoring her 23rd goal of the season with 7:38 left in the half to give SU its eight-goal advantage.

“Seven unanswered goals from seven different players — that helps us as a team,” Gait said. “That helps build our depth and gives us more strength as we head toward playoff time.”

In addition to the stellar offensive performance, the Orange received quality outings from both its goaltenders.

Sophomore Alyssa Costantino stopped 4-of7 Cornell shots in the first half, while fresh-

man Kelsey Richardson turned away 9-of-15 in the second.

The two combined to prevent the Big Red from scoring on all four of its free-position opportunities, helping bail out an Orange team that committed nine second-half turnovers.

“We’ve got two goalies above 50 percent,” Gait said. “There are only a handful of goalies who have that save percentage, and we’re happy that we have two.”

Though the Orange slipped a bit in the second half, something Gait called “human nature,” it tacked on another quality win to its already impressive resume.

But to stay on its current hot streak, the Orange will need to continue to come into games with high intensity and rely on its balanced scoring attack.

“We work hard on our pregame prep to get ready to play,” Gait said. “It’s certainly a focus point this year for us as a coaching staff, and I think all year we’ve had very good first halves.” sebail01@syr.edu

MEN’S L ACROSSE

on offense to begin the third quarter.

Hobart turned its first possession of the second half into immediate results. Statesmen attack Cam Stone found Jake McHenry on the left doorstep 35 seconds into the third quarter to cut SU’s lead to 10-5.

“We had a stop, but they were able to feed it into the crease and score, and I think that started the momentum,” SU defender Brian Megill said. “As soon as a team gets energy and a little bit of confidence, they’re going to make runs, and we have to stop those runs and keep playing composed.”

The Statesmen began to beat Wardwell in ways that they could not in the first half.

In the first quarter, Wardwell made backto-back saves on Stone and midfielder Taylor Vanderbeek as both Hobart players tiptoed the right hash mark and ripped tight shots toward the right post. Wardwell hugged the post and blocked down both shots with ease.

Wardwell said he lacked the same strong body positioning in the third quarter that he had in the first half. With about five minutes left in the third quarter, Stone squeezed a shot between Wardwell and the left post for a goal. It was the second of a three-goal run for Hobart at the end of the third quarter to cut SU’s lead to 11-9.

“In the second half I just wasn’t seeing the ball as well, but it happens,” Wardwell said. “It’s

Simmons Trophy against its in-state rivals.

Without its strong first half on Tuesday, though, Syracuse would have been in trouble.

Maltz tore up the Statesmen’s defense. He scored in transition on an assist from close defender Brian Megill at the 8:25 mark of the first quarter. Just less than a minute later, he scored on a feed from JoJo Marasco in a settled situation.

“I was just able to find lanes, and I have great passers on this team,” Maltz said. “They were able to hit me and find me in the crowd and I stuck them. I was happy with how I was playing, but when our offense moves the ball, we’re pretty dangerous.”

SU’s final goal of the half came when Brian

“We got up by a lot of goals. We were up by six goals at the end of the half, and I think we came out a little bit flat in the second. I know I was kind of relaxed.”

Bobby Wardwell

SU GOALTENDER

Megill scooped up a ground ball off a Hobart turnover, raced up the field to clear it and found the back of the net from along the left side.

It capped a huge first half for the Orange. It also marked the end of Syracuse’s reign.

Against the top faceoff specialist in the nation in Bobby Dattilo, Syracuse’s struggles at the X returned. The Statesmen won 18-of-28 faceoffs, and each draw they won in the second half added steam to its comeback attempt.

Hobart outscored SU 5-1 in the third quarter to pull to within two going into the final period.

an up-and-down game. It’s a game of runs, and they got their run in the third quarter.”

The Syracuse goaltender made just four saves on 12 shots in the second half as the Statesmen threatened SU’s lead. Hobart pushed through three more goals in the fourth quarter, getting within one with nine seconds left.

“We got up by a lot of goals. We were up by six goals at the end of the half, and I think we came out a little bit flat in the second,” Wardwell said.

“I know I was kind of relaxed.”

The Syracuse offense struggled to provide any relief for the SU goalie in the second half.

Hobart goaltender Peter Zonino transformed into a force, making 10 second-half saves to keep the Statesmen within striking distance.

And the shaky performance in net in the second half continued for Wardwell. A costly turnover behind the net with less than four minutes to play left Wardwell stranded out of the net. Sam Miller dove in front to connect with an empty net.

Attack Alex Love fired a shot into the net with time winding down, and Hobart ran out of time.

Wardwell did just enough to earn his third win of the season in four starts.

“He’s seen every different kind of game thus far, and he’s learning and growing from that,” SU head coach John Desko said. “He’s pretty courageous, and when he doesn’t see it, he tries to get his body in front of it, and he’ll get better from this.” adtredin@syr.edu

Zonino looked like a different goaltender, making six saves to keep the Orange at bay.

“We were shooting the ball and scoring low on him early. I thought he adjusted in the second half. We tried to shoot high on him,” SU head coach John Desko said. “Then we come around, he’s making saves one-on-one, and then they’d score a goal and they’d get the possession with their faceoff guy who just did a terrific job.”

With every goal Hobart scored, its fans pounded on the metal bleachers and the thundering noise spilled onto the field, creating what Maltz called an “electric” atmosphere.

Maltz and fellow attack Tim Desko each added a goal in the fourth quarter, and Syracuse restored its lead to three with 6:06 remaining.

The Orange had some more good looks at the goal, but its shots landed right in Zonino’s stick.

SU couldn’t gain any more separation from the Statesmen.

Palasek said Hobart was giving his team chances, especially in the third quarter, and the offense was anxious to take them. Most of the time, it was to no avail.

“I think in the third quarter, that’s what happened,” Palasek said. “I feel like they were almost giving us some things we had to take. We would rather sit back and get the ball around, take some air of it.”

Instead, the game was on the line for the final six minutes.

Sam Miller scored an empty-net goal for Hobart with 3:41 left to get the Statesmen to within two. With Bobby Wardwell sprawled out on the turf after a scramble for the ball near the crease, Hobart played itself back into the game.

The Orange tried to hold possession, even getting called for a stall warning at one point, but it couldn’t play keep-away long enough.

Alex Love scored for Hobart with nine seconds left to make it 13-12, but it was too late. The Statesmen ran out of time.

After a frenetic second half that saw Syracuse nearly collapse while Hobart started taking control, SU could breathe a sigh of relief.

“Credit them,” Maltz said. “They fought back pretty hard, but we wound up with the win.” cjiseman@syr.edu

SYRACUSE AT HOBART

THE GOOD Derek Maltz

Maltz surpassed his career high in goals by scoring his fifth with 5:53 left in the first half. When Syracuse’s lead was down to two in the fourth quarter, he put the Orange ahead 12-9 with his sixth goal.

Maltz became the first SU player to score six goals in a game since 2008.

THE BAD Faceoffs

Syracuse’s immense success at the faceoff X against Rutgers during the weekend did not carry over in Geneva. The Orange went up against perhaps the best faceoff specialist in the nation in Bobby Dattilo, and he owned the X. Dattilo took 18-of-28 faceoffs, helping Hobart get back in the game in the second half.

It almost became a historically bad loss.

Syracuse went into halftime with a comfortable 10-4 lead, yet looked inferior as Hobart dominated the third quarter, closing within two goals entering the final period.

Syracuse was able to keep the Statesmen out of striking distance in the fourth quarter until the final seconds, but lost the positive feelings it could take from the game with a disappointing second half.

POWELL FROM PAGE 20

professional sports, lacrosse does not provide lucrative contracts or major endorsement deals.

Even the best players are forced to work other jobs.

Kevin Buchanan plays for the Boston Cannons of the Major Lacrosse League, and he tallied 20 goals in just nine games last season. Yet Buchanan knew that professional lacrosse must co-exist with a “real job.” Buchanan works as a sales representative for a diagnostic company, traveling throughout New England selling blood analyzers.

Buchanan said abundant passion is necessary for those who pursue a secondary career in professional lacrosse.

“In the nature of our league, we’re weekend warriors,” Buchanan said. “After the game, everyone goes back to their respective destinations, and we have to condition and prepare by ourselves. It’s a balancing act, having a career and playing lacrosse.”

After his time with the Orange, Powell rarely played lacrosse at all. He’s gotten back into the game in recent years, notably playing in the prestigious Lake Placid Classic last summer.

Tournament director George Leveille saw a piqued interest from fans when they learned Powell would return to the field.

“He has tremendous enthusiasm for the game,” Leveille said. “People were surprised about how sharp his game was. The lacrosse enthusiasts love him.”

Leveille is uncertain of Powell’s status for the event this year. He said he knows Powell has a busy schedule.

Among Powell’s commitments is a gig with CBS Sports Network covering the National Lacrosse League. The NLL is a nine-team indoor box lacrosse league, and CBS Sports is providing game-of-the week coverage for the remainder of the season and playoffs.

Powell and his brother Casey will work as co-analysts alongside veteran play-by-play man Brent Stover. The brothers made their broadcasting debut April 7 at the Buffalo BanditsPhiladelphia Wings game.

Bandits radio play-by-play broadcaster John Gurtler said Powell brings credibility with him into the booth.

“The Powell brothers have great personalities and represent the game of lacrosse on all levels here in the United States,” Gurtler said. “With Mike there is so much personality of the game, with great stories. I am sure Mike will do fine.”

Buchanan said he thinks Powell could’ve done a lot for the game if he played professionally after college. He said Powell could’ve become a true ambassador of the game, considering that almost everyone in lacrosse knows the Powell name.

But Buchanan knows firsthand the challenges of balancing lacrosse and another career.

april 18, 2012

“Unfortunately, we don’t make multimillions,” Buchanan said. “You’ve got to follow your passions and do what makes you happy.”

For Powell, that outlet is music. Powell performed for a while in a band called Villain’s Trust, but he now pursues a solo career.

Syracuse Post-Standard music critic Mark Bialczak has occasionally spoken with Powell over the years and remains impressed with his commitment to his musical craft, which was illustrated by his 48-city solo tour in 2009.

“I am always struck by how he’s willing to go anywhere and do anything for his music career,” Bialczak said in an email. “He’s gone traveling the country and camping out so he

could play as many shows as possible.”

Bialczak describes Powell’s songs as “bright, incisive, and a commentary on America as he sees it.”

Powell’s status as a public figure in the Central New York community has helped his musical development as well, Bialczak said. Not just in drawing attention to his work, but by making him more comfortable under the spotlight.

Bialczak said Powell has the ability to eventually become nationally recognized for his music.

“Does he have star appeal? Indeed,” Bialczak said. “Will he become a star? He could.”

Powell may not play professional lacrosse these days, but that doesn’t mean his passion in life has

19

subsided. He just put his energy into other areas.

But he still finds time for lacrosse. Along with playing in Lake Placid last summer, he recently joined Easton Lacrosse as a sponsored athlete, and he finds time to help his brothers with camps and clinics.

No matter what he pursues, Powell will maintain a relationship with the game that brought him so much success in college.

“He hadn’t played professional lacrosse until recently, but he’s been at the Lake Placid tournament where you don’t get paid to play,” Chavez said. “So that tells me he enjoys the game, enjoys being around the guys and still likes to compete.” kmprisei@syr.edu

Syracuse holds off Hobart late, avoids collapse

Wardwell endures tough 2nd half to get win over Hobart

By Chris Iseman

By Andrew Tredinnick

ENEVA, N.Y. — No one expected this type of ending. Not the way the first half ended. Not with Syracuse holding a commanding sixgoal lead along with the confidence of Hobart goaltender Peter Zonino.

Yet the Orange lost all that momentum in the second half and allowed the Statesmen to claw within one goal in the final seconds.

“Going into the second half there, you didn’t think that was going to turn around like that,” Tommy Palasek said. “They definitely looked like a different team. They didn’t give up, that’s for sure. They had a lot of heart.”

The No. 14 Orange scored 10 firsthalf goals, including three in a span of 58 seconds. Five of the first-half goals came from attack Derek Maltz, who finished with a career-high six goals. When the second half began, the Statesmen began a valiant comeback that lasted until the end, but failed to come up with the game-tying goal. Syracuse (7-5, 3-1 Big East) held off Hobart (3-8, 1-3 Eastern College Athletic Conference) in a heart-stopping 13-12 win in front of 2,800 at Boswell Field. For the sixth straight year, the Orange took the Krauss-

ENEVA, N.Y. — The sense of relief went coursing through the entire Syracuse sideline as the final seconds ticked off the scoreboard.

No player felt the pressure lifted more than Bobby Wardwell.

A six-goal SU halftime lead deteriorated to one with nine seconds left in the game, but Wardwell evaded disaster. Despite a sharp performance by the Hobart offense in the second half, Syracuse’s freshman goalkeeper was able to hold on and survive. Wardwell and the No. 14 Orange escaped Boswell Field with a 13-12 victory over Hobart on Tuesday.

After an imminent Orange blowout became a near defeat, the Syracuse goaltender did just enough to preserve the lead. Teammates swarmed Wardwell in front of the net to break the tension.

“It was pretty nerve-racking,” Wardwell said.

Wardwell stood tall in the first half, making seven saves on 11 shots to help the Orange (7-5, 3-1 Big East) jump out to a 10-4 lead at halftime. But that confidence quickly diminished as Hobart (3-8, 1-3 Eastern College Athletic Conference) forced the issue

STAFF WRITER

ob Chavez thought he recognized the man down the aisle in a Bass Pro Shop in Auburn, N.Y. He had a feeling it was Mike Powell, but it had been a few years since the two last crossed paths.

Chavez decided to go with his gut and said hello to the Syracuse lacrosse legend.

Conversation ensued and they spent a few minutes exchanging deer hunting stories.

“He was amped for the (deer hunting) season,” said Chavez, who covered Powell during his high school career for the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle. “I ran into him in

June and deer season was still four months away, and he was getting some gear. You could tell hunting’s a big part of what he enjoys in life.”

For Powell, hunting and music take up much of his time these days.

It’s been eight years since he wrapped up his brilliant Syracuse career. He left as the program’s all-time leading scorer and was honored with the Tewaaraton Trophy twice as the nation’s top player. Powell passed up a professional lacrosse career out of college to pursue other endeavors, though. He still stays involved in the game as a color analyst for CBS Sports Network, but he devotes even more time to his budding music career.

Still, some wonder why the college great never entered the Major League Lacrosse or National Lacrosse League draft.

Powell followed his star older brothers Casey and Ryan to the Orange, arriving with massive expectations, but he surpassed them easily.

“He’ll always be remembered as one of the quickest to ever play the game,” said Chavez, now an editor for Inside Lacrosse. “His ankle-breaking dodges are the things of legend. He just made it all look so easy.”

The decision to play professional lacrosse isn’t that simple, though.

Unlike the major North American
