efore Letecha Dixon accepted an unpaid internship at Giant magazine last summer, she wondered if it would be worth the $3.40 each-way bus tickets from Englewood, N.J., to the city. But after interning for three months and spending $300 on travel expenses alone, she decided it was not. “I ended up paying for the internship,” she said. “But if you don’t have an internship, then people don’t even look at you when you apply for a job.” Dixon, a junior public relations major at Syracuse University, was among an increasing number of students who are participating in unpaid internships at for-profit private sectors. Though there is no official count of the number of unpaid internships, concerns have risen about violations against the minimum wage and overtime laws established in the Fair Labor and Standards Act. The wage and hour division of the United States Department of Labor released “Fact Sheet #71: Internship Programs Under the Fair Labor Standards Act” on Wednesday to redefine the test for unpaid interns. “The key issue is whether or not an internship is true

WERW radio station splits from parent organization, separation to be final in fall 2010 By Julissa Montalvo DESIGN EDITOR
Student radio station WERW officially split from its parent organization, University Union, on April 19 after discussions about its desire to become independent. Even though the split was officially announced, WERW will not be its own organization until next fall. The
two split amicably with the desire for each to be able to grow separately, both WERW and UU officials said. WERW was previously a subdivision of UU and is required to stay under UU until the end of the year. WERW is a free-format radio station that was student-built about 23 years ago. Since then, the station has been run entirely by students. WERW
has approximately 70 disc jockeys and about 15 people on staff. Currently, the station is only available online because its transmitter is broken. Marina Zarya, a junior graphic design major and WERW’s general manager, said it was time the two organizations took separate paths. “We’ve always acted like an independent student organization,” Zarya
said. “We’ve become increasingly independent.” The split was something that was a long time coming for the two organizations, although it was just recently officially talked about, she said. “We need to be independent from UU,” Zarya said. “We want to be more than just a radio station. We want our own brand. We have our own
uniqueness to us.” Funding will go unchanged with the split because the two organizations already receive separate funding. WERW receives a yearly budget separate from the UU budget, said Darren Goldberg, president of UU. The funding for both organizations will remain the same, regardless of SEE WERW PAGE 7

US faces choice on new weapons
A new weapon, known as Prompt Global Strike, has the capability to reach any spot on Earth from the United States within an hour of deployment, The New York Times reported. Russia has requested that the U.S. deactivate one nuclear missile for each new weapon used. This idea originated under President George W. Bush, but Russia raised concerns that this would increase the risk of a nuclear war. Although the proposed plan did not move forward during the Bush administration, the Obama administration is taking steps to achieve this goal. Rather than putting the new weapon on submarines, $250 million will go toward investigating new alternatives. The weapon will be placed on a long-range missile and travel at speeds faster than the speed of sound. The Prompt Global Strike will not be available until 2017-20, but the Pentagon hopes to test an early version of the system by 2014 or 2015.
South Africa unleashes plan to slow AIDS crisis United Nations officials said an effort by South Africa to test, treat and prevent AIDS is the largest -ever attempted by any nation, The New York Times reported. South Africa has 5.7 million HIVpositive citizens, which is more than any other country. This attempt will be expensive and a challenge to pull off for South Africa, but the country has already taken steps toward overcoming the AIDS crisis. In the past month, South Africa has created 519 hospitals and clinics to distribute AIDS medicines, which is more than it created during the past six years combined. The country has trained hundreds of nurses to prescribe AIDS drugs, which was formerly the responsibility of doctors. South Africa President Jacob Zuma furthered the effort by signing a campaign into law on Sunday that will test 15 million of the country’s 49 million people for AIDS by June 2011.

The presentation focused on the five steps of lasting wealth: saving, taking advantage of time, eliminating debt, diversifying investments and spending less. Throughout these topics, she weaved in her own life

Syracuse University students turned the parking lot of the Vincent House, a youth community center in the West Side neighborhood, into a carnival complete with face painting, sack races and a beanbag toss Saturday. The carnival was created as part of this year’s Big Event, a day of community service put on by Orange Seeds, SU’s first-year leadership program. This year’s event, called “Workstock 2010,” bused students to seven different locations on the West Side of Syracuse. Volunteer activities included
clearing garbage, playing with local children and planting flowers. In previous years, volunteers have spread across nearly 20 different locations across the city. But this year, all students were bused to Skiddy Park on the West Side and went to seven locations in the neighborhood. This year’s decreased number of sites and closer proximity seemed to be more successful, said Claire Stumbras, a junior policy studies and public relations major and director of Orange Seeds. The turnout this year was greater than past years’, Stumbras said. About 150 to 200 students showed up for Saturday’s event, despite 304
students signing up. The event began at 10 a.m. in the Life Sciences Complex, where students were able to check in and receive T-shirts and refreshments. Opening remarks followed at 10:45 p.m., as members of Orange Seeds prepared the students for the day’s events. At the Vincent House, where the students built the carnival for children in the neighborhood, volunteers also assisted in clearing the center’s garage and setting up a garage sale. At a neighboring location on 601 Tully St., students cleared plants and garbage from a small plot of land. They cleaned the land to make room
for what is expected to be converted into a storefront or possible paved ramp for the preexisting adjacent store, said Colleen Baker, an Orange Seeds member and communications and rhetorical studies major. Some students stayed at Skiddy Park, where they cleared garbage and spread mulch, said Shelby Epps, an Orange Seeds member and pre-law major. Orange Seeds members said having Skiddy Park as the main hub of activity was very effective. “I think having a central main location really brought everyone together,” Stumbras said. kapete01@syr.edu
Annual event Saturday honors Asian heritage with dancing, singing By Jada Wong Staff Writer
Far East Movement, an Asian band, stepped onto the stage Saturday night in Goldstein Auditorium clad in LED-lit astronaut helmets, sunglasses, skinny ties and patent leather high-tops. The group was the headlining performer of the 12th annual Asian Students in America Night, a celebration of Asian heritage. More than 400 students came to
see the evening of student and professional dancing and singing. In addition to Far East Movement, other performances included Syracuse Orange Bhangra, a student dance organization; the Hong Kong Cultural Organization; and Nu Alpha Phi. Hong Kong Cultural Organization kicked off the event with a hiphop medley of Michael Jackson’s “Remember the Time,” Lady Gaga and Beyoncé’s “Telephone,” and
Chris Brown’s “Transformer.” Technical difficulties with the audio soundtrack interrupted Syracuse Orange Bhangra’s dance routine halfway through the performance. Jaspreet Bains, a sophomore advertising design major and member of the Syracuse Orange Bhangra, said he was disappointed with the unfinished performance. “I understand that ASIA worked really hard to make this show
happen,” Bains said. “But I am very upset with how they handled the whole situation, as we did not receive an apology until after we left the show.” Audience members, such as Hoyin Tong, a junior architecture major, agreed with Bains and said that the Syracuse Orange Bhangra was “shafted.” After more dance performances by various groups, including music see asia page 7

employment or whether it is something different — a learning experience — and should be treated differently under the law,” said Albert Cabral, director of internships at Nazareth College. The test follows six criteria that for-profit businesses must meet if they do not pay their interns. The Supreme Court developed the original criteria in 1947. “The economy and the state of higher education was hugely different then it is now,” Cabral said. “What came out (of ‘Fact Sheet #71’) was an attempt to clarify the guidelines a bit.” But Rhona Jones, an internship coordinator at Syracuse University, said the situation for unpaid interns remains unclear, though the wording of the criteria has changed.

the intern and the employer gain an advantage, said True, who also runs InternQube.com, a national internship listserv with more than 700 professionals. The intern gains a learning experience during the process of completing the assignment, and the employer gains the final product, which can be used to help the business, he said. Interns may impede the regular operations of the business, as stated as part of the criteria for unpaid interns. That’s because employers will have to take on extra work, such as hosting site visits, developing learning goals or filling out evaluations, in addition to their usual workload, Cabral said. “We’re asking them to do a whole lot more than they would for a regular, temporary employee,” he said. The test for unpaid interns also states the internship should be similar to training that would be provided in an educational

One of the guidelines, for instance, states the employer may not derive any immediate advantages from the intern’s activity. But Michael True, director of the internship center at Messiah College, said there is no way to get around the fact that all employers who take on interns benefit from the work performed by the intern. When an intern is given an assignment, both
environment; the internship experience should benefit the intern; the intern may not displace regular employees but works under the supervision of existing staff; the intern is not entitled to a job at the end of the internship; and both the intern and the employer understand the intern will not be paid during the internship. But the strict enforcement of these six
guidelines may scare off potential and existing employers who offer internships, True said. This may not matter too much for the employers, but students will suffer from the lack of available internships, he said. “If we push this too far, small- and mediumsized businesses — which are the economic engines of the U.S. that generate the jobs — if severe restrictions are put on them, then they will think it’s too much of a hassle,” he said. Some employers offer unpaid internships but require students to register for academic credit as proof of a learning experience, Jones said. But many students cannot afford to pay for credit, especially during the summer when financial aid is limited, she said. “Not only are students taking an unpaid internship to get experience, but also, there is an additional amount of tuition they need to come up with,” she said. The government will penalize for-profit businesses that are caught violating the six criteria, said Shlomo Katz, a counsel who practices wage and hour law at Brown Rudnick LLP. They will have to pay the intern back wages, which may be doubled in some cases, and the Department of Labor may ask the court to impose someone to supervise the employer so it will follow the law in the future, he said. Though it is hard to know how often businesses violate the test for unpaid interns, the Department of Labor conducts thousands of random checks on employees throughout the year, Katz said. Interns may also file formal complaints to the Department of Labor if they feel a business is not following the six criteria, he said. But True said most interns do not want to raise a formal complaint because they are concerned about the consequences, such as not

being hired by the company for which they interned or by other employers who hear of the complaints. “When an intern’s goal is to learn about a company and to get experience, their motivation to not rock the boat is pretty strong,” Jones said. It is the supervisor’s responsibility to ensure a quality and educational experience for the interns to help them grow as professionals in their fields, Cabral said. “There is a lot more emphasis on learning and professional development in an internship than there is at a job,” he said. “An intern is not an employee. An intern is not a worker. An intern is an intern.” shkim11@ syr.edu

Instead of scotch on the rocks, it’s milk with a straw. Ditch the limo to the club for a night of bicycling fun. It’s a bizarre site, but this is the new Hollywood. What the industry used to expect of young leading men — to be dapper and suave — has turned into a generation of brooding tortured souls. While the studios still bank on the A-list men to bring in the bucks, many are now relying on the prototypes of the guitar-playing tormented artists to lure young women into believing they are ubiquitously standing on the corner or sitting in the neighborhood coffee shop.

my ultimate quest superb taste in books and music with a hidden talent of quoting EE Cummings. But not all the credit can be given to these top-tier executives for creating the fixture of the “tormented artists.” They’ve always existed, but in mini doses. It was seen in Bogart’s role in “Casablanca,” Marlon Brando’s in “A Streetcar Named Desire” and John Cusack’s in “Say Anything.” S.T.

classic lead with guys who are younger, cooler, more affordable representations of the Irony Age — smart actors who confer a crucial relatability for an increasingly anxious era.” What VanAirsdale writes is true: People in our generation are no longer gung-ho with the picture-perfect idea that life is wonderful. The economy has proven to us that nothing is stable and has made us anxious with the reality that jobs, more than ever, are scarce and competitive. The swagger and poise of glamour has been replaced with the residue of a generation’s dissatisfaction. We’ve become angsty individuals, and pondering existential questions about living overwhelm our thinking. The sarcastic, cynical outlooks we used as defensive mechanisms have actually turned us into a generation that VanAirsdale refers to as “The Irony Age.” The ball has finally dropped: What

once used to be a life sugarcoated by our parents as fine and dandy now comes with complications, dramas and heartbreaks. Just like when we turned to entertainment for requiem, we now want to see those same characters mirror our own lives. Just as we are going through the heartbreaks, they must go through them, too. These tormented artists’ archetypes currently fit the pace with where the generation is headed, but it doesn’t mean the George Clooneys and Brad Pitts need to be extinguished. They still represent a part of our culture that very much values the fascination of glamour we all need. It’s a matter of choosing which detachment of reality we want to face.

porphyria. Leppert experienced symptoms of EPP at 18 months, but he was not diagnosed until age 5. He acted hysterically at 18 months old when his mother took him to the community pool in his home in Maryland. “We were there maybe 15 minutes and he just started to scream like something had happened to him, but I was right in front of him and didn’t see anything happen to him,” said Tracy Leppert, Craig’s mother. Craig did not appear sunburnt but clawed at his face and hands. “I woke up the next day and my hands looked like little boxing gloves and my face was all distorted,” he said. Doctors initially thought Craig was allergic to chlorine. A blood test performed by EPP specialist Dr. Micheline Mathews-Roth verified Craig had EPP. Craig has taken on raising awareness of the various types of porphyria in college. He spoke in most of his classes during National Porphyria Awareness week April 17 through 24 after hearing about Colton Blake, a 2-year-old with severe liver trouble because of complications with EPP. “That just kind of hit me home because I remember being young, not that young, and really being upset because you aren’t what you see with your friends. You don’t get to do what your other family members do,” Craig said. “So any opportunity for that young kid to avoid that, I will go to the ends of the earth for.” Craig’s hope to help others with EPP is now becoming reality. He is part of the second set of clinical trials of Afamelanotide, a new drug
from Australia’s Clinuvel Pharmacies that was FDA approved March 29. A dissolving implant is inserted into the abdomen and releases the drug over two weeks to increase levels of melanin in the skin to help shield against UV radiation and sunlight via an abdominal implant roughly the size of a grain of rice. Craig will start testing at the Mount Sinai School of Medicine, likely at the end of May. Craig said he tries to remain lighthearted, but dealing with EPP in college can be hard because new people do not always understand immediately. A typical outfit for Leppert is a hooded sweatshirt, hat, long pants and his medical alert necklace. He wears his hat low, keeps his hands in his pockets and jumps from shadow to shadow when he walks outside. He has never worn sandals, despite being born in Hawaii and currently living down the road from the Jersey Shore. Craig said growing up he learned through trial and error what limits he had to cope with. If he wanted to attend a pool party, he came after dark. He was a captain and AllConference football player in high school but wore two Under Armor turtlenecks, a cutoff ski mask, tinted visor and gloves with his uniform. Craig uses titanium zinc oxide sunscreen and goes to a tanning booth in the summer to darken his skin, which helps build a resistance to visible light. The disease has left Craig with a lot of alone time, and he frequently is awake late at night or early in the morning. “I talk to myself a lot because when you get burned, you’re up all night and you’re all alone a lot of times,” Craig said. “I cope a lot by talking to myself and I talk to God a lot. I’m not really religious because of it because it’s not always a good conversation.” Michael Leppert, Craig’s father, said he did not see any negative ramifications for his son’s participation in the study. “It’s pretty significant that he could be outside having a normal life for two hours in the sun,” he said. But Tracy, his mother, said she is a little hesitant about the study but knows it could be a big improvement in dealing with EPP. “Just seeing them going through the pain that they have to go through probably for about three to four days until it’s over, that’s the hard part because, really, there is nothing you can do for them,” she said about helping those with EPP. One of her daughters, 15, also has the condition. Craig tried a beta-carotene treatment, currently the most popular EPP medication, but was unhappy with the effectiveness. Beta-carotene, a product naturally found in green plants, neutralizes the chemical reaction in the body that creates the itching and pain associated with EPP. Mathews-Roth, the doctor who diagnosed Craig, was involved with his case when he was a child and is now an EPP expert at Harvard University. She has been studying EPP since the mid-1970s and said she is hopeful for the new trial. Both she and Craig were concerned about the injection process. “I’ve got to admit, for me, I don’t happen to like needles and I’m a doctor. I don’t like needles and I would find that rather unpleasant,” Mathews-Roth said. “But it’s worth a try.” Despite the complications EPP has brought to his life, Leppert has tried to be as active as possible and does not see it as a limitation. “I just take it as something that unfortunately is a big part of my life, but I can work around it,” Leppert said. “I can work at night.” dkmcbrid@syr.edu

Singletary’s grandmother, whom she called “Big Mama,” also taught her about the need for financial security, she said. “The basics of what I know did not come from the financial wizards,” she said. “The person who influenced how I handle my money the most was that little old lady, ‘Big Mama.’ She taught me the basics of everything I know. ‘Big Mama’ taught me one thing. … My grandma said it’s not what you make that matters, it’s making do with what you have.” Singletary’s Washington Post column, “The Color of Money,” appears in more than 120 newspapers.

at washingtonpost.com, produces a successful e-newsletter and hosts a half-hour personal finance reality show. Singletary stressed the importance of not using credit cards without the funds to pay the bill. She said there is a disconnect people face when they use their credit cards instead of cash. People spend 30 to 50 percent more when they use credit cards rather than spend cash, Singletary said. If someone does not have a job, he or she should not be shopping, Singletary said. The people most commonly applying for bankruptcy are college students and seniors, she said. “We buy cars we’re not sure we’re going to pay for. We buy college educations we’re not sure how we’re going to pay for,” Singletary said. “We live out life on a monthly installment payment. That is why we are so mired in debt. We buy stuff and hope we can pay for it.”
Singletary is saving money so her kids don’t start off in financial bondage, she said. “I have a plan for my money,” she said. “I have a purpose for my money. I know what it’s like to be hungry … every penny ought to have a purpose. I’m not going to wear my wealth away. If you Google me, I have on the same four outfits.” During the Q-and-A session, Singletary fielded questions from the audience that challenged her frugal methodology. But she challenged the audience members back to examine the nature of their purchases. “Is it a need or a want,” she asked the audience. Dontre L. Conerly, a graduate student in the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications, confronted the speaker about the difficulty of applying some of her methods of saving, specifically the 21-day shopping fast wherein the only purchases made are necessities like rent
and food, as opposed to wants, like clothes. It takes 21 days just to develop a habit, he said. “She has certain ideas in mind about consumers. But to college students, those are well above our means,” Conerly said after the lecture. “Her points were valid, but they need to be tailored to people with different values.” Tarryn Simmons, a graduate student in Newhouse, said she agreed with Conerly about the blanket frugality and its challenges. “For a person like me, it’s not in my behavior,” Simmons said. Though Singletary acknowledged the difficulty of committing to this challenge, she highlighted the benefits, including having emergency money and the ability to build a college fund. “I’m cheap on the stuff that doesn’t matter,” she said. “I’m extreme because I’m trying to move you to a center.”

“ASIA Night had a wide range of performances. All of them were really good,” Lee said. “But the best performance was Far East Movement — bar none. Far East Movement had the whole audience and crowd moving and fist pumping.” Amy Lau, cultural director for ASIA, was happy and relieved about getting Far East Move-
ment to perform at Syracuse University. “One of our accomplishments was getting ASIA and Far East Movements’ name out there and letting people know we can do something like this,” Lau said. “So many people came out to support ASIA and the performances, so it was a successful turn out.”
is to grow separately,” Goldberg said. “The organizations are becoming more efficient and I think it’s a good thing. UU will be able to focus on programming events, while WERW will be able to focus on putting on a radio show.” About a week ago, a group of students from WERW approached David Rezak, director of the Bandier Program for Music and the Entertainment Industries, and asked if he would be the organization’s new faculty
adviser. Rezak has been a supporter of WERW for years and said he feels there is a need for a real college radio station on campus. As the new adviser, Rezak said he hopes to provide better learning opportunities for the students. Rezak said he couldn’t think of how the break from UU could be a bad thing. He hopes the split will result in better funding for the
radio station. Rezak also said he hopes the split will not affect the quality of the station’s on-air output. WERW will also have the opportunity to collaborate with local radio station WAER to generate a larger listening audience, Rezak said. “It’s a very progressive free-format radio station,” Rezak said. “You’re going to see more impact from the radio station.”

Onondaga County responds to high number of HIV cases
F
By Racquel Clarke STAFF WRITER
ourteen years ago, Edward Davis of Syracuse tested positive for AIDS after secretly having unprotected sex with other men. Davis, 54, was born in Brooklyn, N.Y., during a time where homosexuality was taboo, he said. Today, Davis openly identifies as a gay man and volunteers for the Syracuse Preventive AIDS Community Resources. On Friday, Davis, along with Bob Forbes, an HIV prevention specialist for the AIDS Community Resources, and Zanetta Greene, an HIV prevention specialist, brought the HIV prevention message to Syracuse residents. At the intersection of East Fayette and Croly streets, the three pulled up in vehicles specially equipped for private and sanitary rapid HIV testing. Community members were already awaiting their arrival in the open parking lot. The prevention awareness was in response to 10 new HIV cases among men younger than 25 in Onondaga County. The Onondaga County Health Department is investigating the outbreak, The Post-Standard reported at the beginning of April. The cases have dis-
proportionately affected black and Hispanic men, The Post-Standard reported. Sex education literature, male condoms, dental dams and female condoms were given out between 2 p.m. and 4 p.m. until supplies were exhausted. About 50 people showed up and about 14 were women, Forbes said. When black males are at risk, black women are also at risk, said Zanetta Greene, an HIV prevention specialist who has made it her mission to educate black women on safe sex. The increase in HIV cases is the entire community’s issue because women are at a high risk for infection when their male partners are secretly engaging in sexual activities with other males in a practice called living on the “down low,” she said. “One woman said she has been with one man for 10 years, so she does not take an HIV test,” Greene said. “But a lot of women don’t know men are on the down low. He won’t share that info with you.” Visiting the East Side of Syracuse to raise AIDS awareness and prevention has increased from twice a month to once a week because of the high-risk population living there, Forbes said. “The most important questions to ask are
‘Have you been tested,’ ‘Where was your last test’ and ‘Can I see the results.’ It’s your responsibility to protect yourself,” Greene said. The state is currently trying to educate black men on HIV prevention. The strategy is to present the message in a convenient way that brings the information to the people
made at the Southside Community Center, he said. Davis turned to alcohol to help him cope with not having an outlet to truly express his sexuality. He grew up in an area where sex education was not socially acceptable by community or church, he said. His mother is
“One woman said she has been with one man for 10 years, so she does not take an HIV test. But a lot of women don’t know men are on the down low. He won’t share that info with you.”

without requiring them to travel out of their communities to find an office, Forbes said. Forbes experienced the death of many friends in the 1980s from HIV, he said. He said he thinks the most recent findings are not just an indicator of an increase in HIV cases, but also an indicator of how many people are actually deciding to get tested. Davis convinced some individuals to get tested after an HIV educational speech he
still in denial of homosexuality, he said. These situations cause some men to release urges that exist deep down inside by engaging in high-risk behavior, Davis said. “I remember treating AIDS like ‘the bad disease,’ but now the sex education in schools is doing the best they can,” Davis said. “Now that it is hitting close to home, people are doing things about it.” ? reclarke@syr.edu

lena Carroll demonstrates a perfect single pirouette for her class. Her long, limber legs are controlled in perfect posture. She prepares herself again with her left leg forward and her right leg behind. Carroll, a sophomore advertising major, raises her hands, one in front and one to her side. Complete control, complete balance. She tries for a double pirouette, spinning rapidly. Her first spin is perfect, but as she tries for her second, she stumbles. She falls gracefully but quickly picks herself up. Quietly, she looks back up to her beginner’s dance class, which she has been instructing since September. Her class’s eyes on her, she opts for a side leap. Toes pointed, she raises her head and leaps, grinning as she lands safely to the ground. Carroll, a native of Santa Fe, N.M., began dancing when she was 3 years old, when her mother first enrolled her in dance classes. “Dancing was a high,” Carroll said. “I couldn’t get enough of it.” When she was 12 years old, she had to make a decision. “I played tennis, I played soccer and I also did horseback riding,” she said. “And when I turned 12, I had to make a decision if I wanted to go with the dance route, or
pursue sports and do the regular high school experience.” Instead of sports, she chose to dance. Every summer after that decision she attended a different dance camp. She traveled to Seattle one year. New York the next. At 16, she attended a summer intensive program with the San Francisco Ballet Company, which resulted in enrollment in the yearlong program. After she arrived in San Francisco, Elena began experiencing pain in her right ankle, resulting in a sprain. “Instead of stopping and letting myself heal and moving back home as I should’ve done, I kept dancing on it and aggravating it,” Elena said. Three tears in her tendon followed, including a tear in her Achilles’ tendon and a stress fracture in her metatarsal. She then had to start sitting out during rehearsal. “It was so frustrating because you want to do well and you want to be able to do what everyone else is doing, especially when you know you are capable of doing it, but you are being held back by this intense pain,” Elena said. Still, she wasn’t ready to let go of her dream. “I would ice it, I would soak it, I’d have Epsom Salts, I’d take Advil, I’d go to doctors,” Elena said. “I couldn’t get rid of the pain unless I stopped dancing.” She was given an ultimatum. Her doctors told her see ballerina page 12

Convention season brings geeks around the world together during summer months
T
he season has arrived, my fellow nerds. I’m not talking about baseball season, finals season, rabbit season or duck season. No, I’m talking about the greatest, most glorifying season for all geeks out there. Convention season, of course. Convention season is the best time of the year for geeks. I’m not sure who decreed it, but all of the best geek conventions seem to pop up during the summer. San Diego ComicCon, E3 (Electronic Entertainment Expo, for those who have never touched a video game controller in their life), Philadelphia Comic Con, Chicago Comic Con … you get my point. It’s like Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, your birthday and Presidents Day all wrapped up in a few months of nerd bliss. And Stormtrooper costumes. Whether they are geared toward comic books, video games or anime, conventions occur when geeks around the world converge under one roof to, well … nerd out. We meet, greet and geek with our fellow enthusiasts to whine about “Tekken 1” being better than
ballerina f r o m p a g e 11
that without necessary surgery, she could no longer dance. “They basically said you are going to stop and get surgery, stop and do something else, stop ... just stop,” Elena said. Following the doctors’ report, Elena rested for three weeks. Things weren’t looking up.
fl ash steinbeiser
“Tekken 2,” or wish for our greatest geek desires. (Doctor Doom/Howard the Duck teamup, anyone?) Rock stars from the nerd kingdom visit us geek-plebeians. People who dress up as every fictional character known to man wait in line just to get their autographs. And yes, donning all those hot costumes can result in some pretty rank body odor. But hey, anything to get my “Predator” T-shirt signed, right? In all seriousness, geek conventions have a lot going for them. Attributes people wouldn’t consider off the top of their head. For instance, they serve as an appetizer to all the great video games and movies on the horizon. Where else can you find Scarlett Johansson
showing off exclusive clips of “Iron Man 2?” Or better yet, try out a video game months before it’s released? I mean, I’m pretty sure a trip to a Blockbuster store can’t cover that. And where do they get all those wonderful toys? Every piece of memorabilia is lined up for viewing pleasure around the convention floor. Naturally, geeks swarm like hyenas on an antelope around these coveted glass cases, drooling over action figures we won’t even be able to buy for another six months. Just don’t cut the line to the visual feeding frenzy. Get between a geek and his replica of Boba Fett’s helmet and he or she might start acting like their plastic lightsaber is real. You’ve been warned. At the end of every convention, when all costumes, toys and Scarlett Johansson fans are removed, conventions are really about one thing: the fans. Before all these big companies and corporate sponsors became involved, conventions were started by the geeks, for the geeks. While there are plenty of geeks in the
world, they tend to be scattered everywhere, left to fend for themselves. Conventions are when all geeks can meet up on such a large scale. It’s no different than fans tailgating before a football game. It’s a place where geeks can actually meet, face to face. And I’m sorry, “LightingLass34,” but I don’t care what you said on those message boards. You look nothing like Wonder Woman, so leave me alone. So to all the geeks who have never been to a convention: You’re missing out. Heck, even if you’re not a geek, give it a shot. Yeah, it may smell a little bit, and yeah, there might two girls in the entire room, but it’s the world we live in. The important part is geeks can actually act like a functioning, interactive community for a few months. Even if we all don’t look like Wonder Woman.
They then told her that if she wanted, she could get surgery, heal and then retrain back to where she was. But that process would take about three years. “I began to realize it was so painful, it just wasn’t fun anymore. It wasn’t the same dancing I loved,” Elena said. “I had the right body, I had the perfect feet, I was tall, I had the right technique, but I was weak. I had hyperextension in my legs. I had beautiful arched feet. It was very pretty to look at ... but weak.”
When summer came, Elena decided her health was more important than ballet. She informed the San Francisco Ballet that she wouldn’t be returning that summer, but staff members told her they would call and check on her in the fall. The phone call never came, confirming what Elena already knew. It was over. “I was always ‘the ballet girl’ in high school,” Elena said. She said she thought, “I can be normal. I don’t have to be ‘the ballet girl.’”
Elena applied to colleges and eventually chose Syracuse University as the destination of her new life. Elena now teaches a beginner ballet class at SU every Sunday for a group of 15 students. Today, she said she has no regrets. “Everything happens for a reason, and I knew when I got injured, it just wasn’t my plan anymore,” Elena said. “It wasn’t what I was supposed to be doing. And I am fine with that now.”

ABC’s latest effort, ‘Romantically Challenged,’ fails to bring new ideas to comedy genre
I
By Jordan Walker STAFF WRITER
f ABC comedies were rated high to low, “The Middle” and “Modern Family” would be on the high end of the scale. “Cougar Town” would be somewhere in the middle, but ABC’s latest effort, “Romantically Challenged,” would fall on the bottom, where the many humorless sitcoms end up. “Romantically Challenged” is an example of a sitcom with a predictable setup and recycled characters that we’ve seen countless times before. It would have been a funny and successful show, 10 years ago. Former sitcom star Alyssa Milano (of “Who’s the Boss,” “Melrose Place” and “Charmed”) stars in this lackluster sitcom that has everything viewers don’t want to see in a comedy. From the beginning we get a sense of the show’s unoriginal premise. Rebecca Thomas (Milano) is freshly divorced, looking to find love again. To further the romantic cliché, her exhusband has found another lover. Her friends Perry (Kyle Bornheimer) and Shawn (Josh Lawson) and her sister Lisa (Kelly Stables) discover this information before Rebecca and try hide the gossip from her. It’s a plot we’ve all seen on TV before. During the first episode, Rebecca lands a date with a handsome man who she just happened to lock eyes with. In perfect sitcom formula, Rebecca resists making a romantic move, prompting her friends and sister to coach her confidence levels back up. Despite this advice, the date predictably goes badly because of her nerves and lack of experience. The whole scenario is just as generic as it can get. The saving grace of the show is supporting actor Kyle Bornheimer. Bornheimer plays Rebecca’s friend Perry, a nerdy and slightly neurotic character. He delivers every punch line with a natural ease that never feels forced. Perry and Shawn’s on-screen relationship also proved to be believable, yet not unique to “Romantically Challenged.” The characters have an interesting dynamic. It makes you wish they were the central characters, and the plot revolve around their
relationship, instead of Rebecca. By far the biggest disappointment of the show is the waste of talent with the leading star and director. Milano was a great actress with beauty and charisma on “Who’s the Boss?” in the 1980s as well as the comedy-drama “Charmed” in the late 1990s and 2000s. Emmy Award-winning director James Burrows, whose career has spanned four decades with hit shows like “Cheers,” “Friends” and “Will and Grace,” is one of the most well-known directors in the history of sitcoms. Seeing both names in the opening credits brought hope to this show, but by the end, dissatisfaction and disdain for both Milano and Burrows are present. “Romantically Challenged” might have a chance of working on ABC’s schedule, but the odds are very slim. Signs point to ABC not having confidence in the show. The network cut “Romantically Challenged” from 13 to seven episodes, swapped out the pilot episode with another (the premiere was suppose to be the fourth episode) and aired the show behind “Dancing with the Stars” on Monday nights at 9:30 p.m. It seems executives aren’t confident “Romantically Challenged” can survive without a large lead-in. The premiere garnered 11 million viewers last Monday, but the true test will come when CBS’ “The Big Bang Theory” returns. It’s too early to tell if “Romantically Challenged” will get better in quality or not, but signs point in the direction of this sitcom being on ABC’s list of cancelled showed for the 2009-10 season. jawalk05@syr.edu

Grant’s homer snaps SU out of funk, propels Orange to 2 wins By Michael Cohen Staff Writer
It was the bottom of the seventh inning. Syracuse had just three hits and zero runs. Down 3-0 to Connecticut, the situation was bleak. Trailing in the first game of its series with the Huskies, a team that syracuse 5 sat ninth in the Big East, connecticut 1 SU was experiencing a hangover effect after syracuse 9 being swept by Louisville national television. connecticut 6 on “We got back from Louconnecticut 3 isville at 1 in the morning (Thursday), and (we syracuse 2 had to) go to class and do
everything everyone else has to do,” SU sophomore Kelly Saco said. “It is tough and sometimes it comes out like that.” But after a single by Rachel Helman, Veronica Grant blasted a two-run homer to right center to bring the Orange within one. Unfortunately, it was too little too late to salvage game one. Syracuse (25-20, 9-7 Big East) went on to drop the opener to the Huskies 3-2, but Grant’s homer helped the offense snap out of its stupor for the rest of the series. The Orange exploded for 14 runs in the final two games of the series on the way to a pair of victories — 9-6 in game two Saturday and 5-1 Sunday. More than half of the offensive production came from the top four hitters in SU’s order, who seemed to find their stride against UConn (19-24, 5-9). Prior to that seventh inning, the Orange was batting a dreary .130 collectively through the first six frames. The team went on to hit .327 in the final two games of the weekend. “(At first) we were slow,” Grant said. “We had a spark almost every inning, but we couldn’t put anything together. I felt like (my home run) was the spark that got the fire started.” The home run in particular seemed to transfer from the bat of Grant to those of her teammates. The Orange knocked three out of the park in game two alone on the way to the victory.
“(At first) we were slow. We had a spark almost every inning, but we couldn’t put anything together. I felt like (my home run) was the spark that got the fire started.” Veronica Grant
SU centerfielder
Sophomore Stephanie Watts hit a moon shot well beyond the left field fence in the bottom of the first in game two, and junior Hallie Gibbs belted a pair of long balls in the second game as well to tie for the team lead with four on the season. “They were ripping the, you know, stuff out of the ball,” SU sophomore Lisaira Daniels said of her teammates. “They saw a pitch, and they loved it and they went after it. “ The quartet of Grant, Daniels, Watts and Gibbs, who bat first through fourth, respectively, accounted for 70 percent of the team’s hits in game two against the Huskies. They also knocked in all eight of the Orange’s runs. Only two other Syracuse players had a hit in that game. That same group went just 6-for-23 at the plate against Louisville with only one RBI. The inconsistency is something that frustrates SU head coach Leigh Ross. “If I had that answer (of why they played so well), I would do that every single game,” she said. But Gibbs was locked in all weekend. On Sunday, she blasted a ball just barely foul down the left field line. It drew a collective gasp from everyone in the stadium as it cleared the fence
by about 100 feet. She responded two pitches later by ripping a double to the wall in center field. Gibbs had four hits and drove in four runs in the final two games of the series. “I think Hallie is in a really good place right now,” Ross said. “She’s got some confidence in herself and in her bat. Hallie can miss-hit balls and still hit them out because she is that strong.” Getting the offense to stick around is Ross’ main priority. Sophomore ace Jenna Caira remains a force on the mound (15 innings pitched, 16 strikeouts, four runs allowed this weekend), but consistent support from her hitters has been lacking. The Orange needs to put those two things together if it wants to sweep teams instead of taking just two out of three games in a series. “I think what I’ve kind of decided to do is that I need to be in their heads a little bit more then,” Ross said. “I need to calm them down a little bit more. … It’s in our hands. There is no other answer but to go out there and play hard.” mjcohe02@syr.edu

Nwosu misses mark needed for Big East championships By Rachel Marcus Staff Writer
ITHACA, N.Y. — The length of a toenail: That is how close Victor Nwosu was to qualifying for the Big East Outdoor Championships. On his last jump at the Cornell Big Red Invitational in Ithaca Sunday, Nwosu jumped far enough to qualify for the Big East. But he was disqualified because his toe went over the board. The official yelled “foul,” and just like that, his season was over. No more jumping until next year. “When it all happened I was shocked and upset,” Nwosu said. “It came down to my last jump and I came through, but I took up almost all the board and I fouled it.” Nwosu was one of a handful of Syracuse track and field athletes who failed to qualify for the Big East championships Sunday The SU junior competed in the long jump and expected to qualify for the Big East Outdoor Championships in his last chance of the season. Last season, Nwosu qualified for the Big East Outdoor Championships at the same exact meet. But he never got to compete there as a result of injuring his hamstring on the next jump. This season, Nwosu planned to qualify earlier. But when he failed to do so, Nwosu purposely didn’t compete until the Cornell meet this weekend. But he never qualified. “I was feeling really good,” Nwosu said. “I was so sure that I was going to make it. Coming into the event, I said to myself, we qualify today. But that’s pretty much where it ends for me.” That result marks the end of a disappointing season for Nwosu, who has battled injuries and was looking to come on strong at the meet after finally regaining his form. “Everything was starting to click, but now my season is cut down and I have to sit back on the bench and wait until December to jump again,” Nwosu said. Sometimes jumps don’t go according to plan, and in the case of Nwosu, he just couldn’t get anything going. His jumps increasingly improved but were never enough to qualify.
When he finally did on his sixth jump, the disqualification followed. It was a tough result for both him and assistant coach Enoch Borozinski. “They were good jumps, and everything was right there,” Borozinski said. “It’s more frustrating because it was so close. Unfortunately, that’s just the way things go. I take it just as hard as they do. Especially someone like him, who has scored points in the Big East for us before.” Nwosu wasn’t the only one whose season ended early. Freshman Will Watson also had a chance to qualify for the Big East. He, too, misfired. Watson had a chance to qualify in the long jump and the triple jump but was unable to do so in either. “Nothing happened like I wanted it to,” Watson said. “I hurt myself in the triple jump. I should have qualified.” Still, Watson is just a freshman, and the junior Nwosu only has next year to right this year’s mistakes. But the sting of having a season end prematurely still does not come easy. Neither athlete will travel to Cincinnati for this weekend’s Big East championships. “Everybody else is going and just to be the odd one out just sucks,” Watson said. “You want to be there to help the team.” Unfortunately, not everyone can be there. You must qualify to be there. Something neither Nwosu nor Watson accomplished. Teams come in with the goal of having as many players as possible gaining qualifying times. But that does not always happen. Miracles do not happen left and right. Pain is a more common sight. “You hope for the best by the time you come to this meet,” Borozinski said. “But it is what it is. As much as we’d say, ‘Hey, let’s give them another chance,’ it’s not that way in the real world. It’s not always going to work out.” rnmarcus@syr.edu

Syracuse completes in-conference sweep in 2-game weekend road trip The No. 10 Syracuse (12-4, 6-1 Big East) women’s lacrosse team had a stellar weekend on the road, defeating Cincinnati (5-10, 0-6), 19-3, Friday and then Louisville (9-6, 2-4), 16-11, Sunday. Twelve different players scored a goal for SU against Cincinnati, but it was senior midfielder Christina Dove who led the way for the Orange. Dove tallied four goals on the afternoon, including three of the first five of the game. Syracuse was dominant from start to finish, taking a comfortable 13-1 lead into halftime.

a rocky path to a victory against a Friars squad that had yet to win a game this season. Slowing the pace of the game down to a grinding halt, Providence (0-12, 0-4 Big East) stalled for minutes at a time in its offensive zone. The Friars were patient, waiting meticulously for any opening that came their way. “We haven’t seen anything like this today,” SU head coach John Desko said. “But that has to be their game plan. They don’t have any wins. They’re not a team that’s great in transition, so they’re going to have to hold the ball.” At the same time, Syracuse was almost as sloppy with the ball as Providence was cautious. The Friars were the benefactors of 12 Orange

down. The Friars (0-12, 0-4 Big East) slowed the game to a standstill on multiple occasions throughout the day, frustrating No. 1 Syracuse (11-1, 4-0) and not allowing the Orange to turn the game into a blowout. SU would go on to win 14-5, but it was not anywhere near the margin of victory expected in the matchup. “I understand teams want to slow the ball down,” Bartig said. “But to take the ball behind the cage like that and just completely not even run an offense. It was frustrating. … There’s not much you can do about it there.” Even though many of the Orange players had never seen anything like that offensive game plan, Providence head coach Chris

turnovers in the first half, as SU limped to just 58.3 percent (7-of-12) on clearing opportunities. It was a first half that left Desko rather annoyed at his team’s performance. “I was a little disappointed with our play in the first half,” he said. “But (Providence) did what they had to do. They had to slow it down, they had to play good team defense and they had to hold onto the ball, which they did.” Behind that game plan from the Friars, the Orange found itself with only a three-goal halftime cushion against a Providence team that had lost by an average of 6.3 goals per game this season. And it reflected in the teams’ attitudes heading into their respective locker rooms. The Friars sprinted into theirs, clapping and highfiving along the way. Syracuse’s trot was a slight jog, and there was none of the enthusiasm that
radiated from Providence. “We just said we had to settle down and loosen up the grip on the sticks,” Jamieson said. “Start having fun and just putting the ball in the back of the net.” After a quick regroup in the locker room, SU got back to business as usual behind senior midfielder Max Bartig. Two minutes out of the gate, Bartig dodged from up top. Moving right, he darted a shot past Providence goaltender Christian Dzwilewski. Bartig knew how important it was to set the tone out of the locker room, halting any Providence momentum before it could even start in the second half. “It was pretty big,” Bartig said. “We didn’t get the kind of start that we wanted in the first half. … We talked in the locker room and decided we needed to have a big third quarter. Coming out
and getting that first goal, it was nice.” With that, Bartig sparked a three-goal run and a 5-2 third quarter in favor of the Orange, beginning SU’s second-half dominance. SU outshot the Friars 22-10 in the second half. It went a perfect 13-for-13 in clearing opportunities. And after a sloppy first 30 minutes, it limited its second-half turnovers to only two. Because of that, Jamieson had an opportunity for a little fun. And when his behind-theback shot found the back of the net, the game came full circle. His team was finally in complete control. Said Jamieson: “That’s what lacrosse is about. It’s about having fun, and I like bringing that kind of excitement.”
Burdick said that it wasn’t the first time this year the Friars switched to this strategy. They did the same thing when they got down 3-0 in the first quarter against Jacksonville on March 5. Burdick said that with his team’s lack of offensive production, Providence can’t afford to get down by much more than three goals and still come back to win. So instead of risking turnovers and forcing offense, the Friars simply hold onto the ball and let the clock tick down. “At three (goals down), we put the ball behind the cage, get the crowd booing, get everybody off their game,” Burdick said. “It gives us control of the game back, and until they put a shot clock in the game, it’s part of the game. We’re going to use everything we have available to us to be successful.”
The strategy seemed to work in the first half against the Orange. When Nolan first started holding the ball behind the net and the crowd realized what was happening, SU fans started booing and jeering the Providence bench. Miller began flapping his arms up and down, encouraging the fans to get louder. Galloway stepped out from the front of the goal and started screaming at Friars midfielder Daniel Textor when he took over stalling duties behind the net. And it all led to sloppy play by the Orange. SU never led by more than that three-goal margin throughout the first 30 minutes, despite controlling nearly every statistical category. SU struggled to connect on simple passes, sailing them over each other’s heads or simply dropping them out of bounds. “I mean, it’s frustrating,” Bartig said. “We’ve never seen anything like that in all four years here.” The Orange did recover somewhat in the second half. When Providence began stalling,
again drawing boos from the crowd, SU sent a double team at the player holding the ball behind the net. It forced the Friars to move and cycle the ball around the zone. And that also seemed to put the Orange at ease when it had possession. After throwing away 12 turnovers in the first half, Syracuse committed only two in the second. It converted all 13 of its clear attempts after going just 7-of-12 in the first two quarters. Even though the Orange did pull away to another Big East win, some of the players said they could have gone without the experience of playing against that attack — or lack thereof. “I’ve never thought (a shot clock) was necessary, but with a game like this, it’s definitely becoming something that needs to be put into consideration,” Galloway said. “This is a game of up and down, the fastest game on two feet. I would have watched a baseball game today rather than that.”

In final home game, 3 Orange seniors deliver critical output By Brett LoGiurato and Zach Brown THE DAILY ORANGE
For Max Bartig, Senior Day signified just how far his class had come. “We work hard,” Bartig said of his fellow seniors. “A lot of times, we don’t get the same recognition as the other guys. …You know, we’re just trying to make a name for ourselves, and I think this year we’re doing a good job of that.” Bartig and the other seniors on the Syracuse men’s lacrosse team were freshmen on the most forgettable season in SU’s recent proud history — a 5-8 finish in 2007. All year, they have continued to erase those memories through strong performances. And Saturday’s 14-5 victory over Providence was no different. Though other seniors got additional playing time toward the end of the game, Bartig and fellow seniors Cody Jamieson and Chris Daniello carried the Orange to victory. The trio scored eight of SU’s 14 goals on the day on the strength of hat tricks from Jamieson and Daniello. For each player, his contributions meant something unique. In Jamieson’s case, just last year he didn’t know if his dream of playing lacrosse for SU would come to fruition. On Saturday, he was one of the heroes for the Orange yet again. “There was definitely that time when I didn’t expect to be out here,” Jamieson said. “I just kind of took it all in and had fun with it.” For Daniello, it was a continuation of his surprise emergence as the team’s go-to scoring threat. Last season, Daniello was only fi fth on the
team with 24 points. This season, he’s already matched that in goals while leading the team with 44 points. “It felt great to have my family and all of my classmates around for it,” Daniello said. “It felt great.” And to Bartig, the day also displayed his transformation of sorts. Last year, he recorded just one point in 10 games of action. In his senior season, he has materialized as a mainstay in the SU midfield and one of the biggest reasons the unit recovered from losing the bulk of last season’s starters. “I just want to make my team proud,” Bartig said. “The last three years haven’t gone the way I expected or I would have liked, but this year it’s definitely changed up and I’m having a pretty good year.”
Credit to the Friars Syracuse entered the game Saturday as the No. 1 team in the country. Providence had not won a game in 15 straight tries. SU came in averaging 12.6 goals per game. The Friars were at just over five, the worst scoring offense in the country. The last time they played, SU won 22-3 to open up the 2009 season. Saturday’s game could have gotten ugly quickly, but some sloppy play and Providence’s game plan did not allow it to turn into a rout. SU head coach John Desko said he was a little disappointed with the Orange’s performance in the first half but that overall, he was impressed

matthew ziegler | staff photographer CHRIS DANIELLO shields the ball from a Providence defender in Syracuse’s win Saturday. Daniello combined with Cody Jamieson and Max Bartig to score eight goals. with Providence’s effort and execution. “My hat’s off to the Providence team and their coaching staff,” he said. “What we’ve seen on film is they score goals and they get excited and they’re not looking at the scoreboard. They played hard today, and they didn’t come in and quit. They haven’t had a win yet. (Their resiliency) is a great characteristic that they carry.”
This and that Syracuse extended its home winning streak to 14 games, the second-longest active streak in the
country. … Providence took only 15 shots Saturday, the least by an SU opponent since the Friars took just 12 in SU’s first game last season. … Providence won the faceoff battle, taking 14-of23 tries at the X. It was just the fourth time this year the Orange didn’t control the faceoff X. … The big head cutouts of Syracuse players made their way back to the Carrier Dome Saturday.

for Williams, who caught 49 passes for 746 yards and six touchdowns last year. After leaving the Orange with four games to go, he’ll get a second life in Tampa Bay. Surrounded by friends and family outside his home in Buffalo, Williams soaked this in. He posed for pictures, hugged his tear-filled mother and exhaled often. It’s been a long path here. After missing all of his 2008 season to academic suspension and then leaving the Orange program last fall, Williams was dogged by character questions up until the draft. Talent-wise, many scouts pegged him a firstor second-round pick. But as expected, Williams slipped. He winded up as the 101st overall pick and the 14th wide receiver drafted. Watching receiver after receiver get picked wasn’t easy. These were all players Williams believed he was better than. Before the draft, he said any team that takes him after the first round was getting the “steal of the draft.” “I’m elated, I’m excited and we’re looking forward to jumping on the bandwagon of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers,” said Williams’ father, Wendell. “He’s going to prove that he is a premier wide receiver.” Sporting a Buccaneers hat and a glistening smile, the plunge didn’t seem to matter Satur-
day. Williams feels wanted. Finally, he’ll start anew and attempt to atone for his mistakes. Throughout the draft process, this visit stood out above the rest. Williams ate at a Tampa steakhouse with coaches, talked about the offense and hit it off immediately. This is where he wanted to be. Along with second-round pick Arrelious Benn from Illinois, Williams hopes to revive the league’s 24th-ranked passing game. “I felt like I was drafted already when I was down there,” Williams said. “They treated me like it was home. Everything was good. I just can’t believe I’m there now.” Neither could his entourage. Scattered across his front lawn, family members screamed, “Tampa Bay! Tampa Bay!” Wearing a puffy Syracuse coat, Williams’ mother vowed to stock up on Buccaneers apparel later that day at the mall. Williams’ younger brother shouted, “I’m going to Disneyland!” Mike’s uncle chronicled everything on camera. And Mike’s dad repeatedly screamed into that camera, “The Mike Williams Show is coming to Tampa Bay!” Williams himself? Mostly speechless. “It’s relieving,” he said. “All (Friday) I was waiting and waiting and waiting. The time seemed like it was never going to come. So it feels good that I am finally off the board now.” thdunne@syr.edu

Bucs pick ex-SU star in 4th round By Tyler Dunne Managing Editor
matthew ziegler | staff photographer cody jamieson maneuvers around a Providence defender in Syracuse’s 14-5 win over the Friars Saturday. Jamieson and fellow seniors Chris Daniello and Max Bartig combined for eight of the Orange’s 14 goals on Senior Day, propelling the Orange to the Big East victory.
Despite poor start, Orange talent too much for Friars on Senior Day By Brett LoGiurato
C
Asst. Copy Editor
ody Jamieson just wanted to get back to the fun of lacrosse. The fun that usually comes with complete control of a game. The Syracuse men’s lacrosse team started the day with a behind-theback goal from Chris Daniello. And the senior attack Jamieson ended it with the same technique, putting the exclamation point on the game and giving the Orange a seven-goal lead late in the fourth quarter of a 14-5 win over Providence. “In practice, that kind of stuff happens all the time,” Jamieson said. “It’s
always good just to lighten the mood. After I scored, looking at the sidelines and watching everybody smile, that’s what lacrosse is about.” With that, everything was back to normal for No. 1 Syracuse, which found itself marred in more of a struggle than it anticipated against Big East foe Providence. On the strength of a strong second half, SU was able to close out the 14-5 win over the Friars in front of 4,956 on Senior Day Saturday inside the Carrier Dome. In between the two bookend glittering goals from Daniello and Jamieson, SU (11-1, 4-0 Big East) faced

BUFFALO — After seeing the Tampa Bay Buccaneers — a team that coveted him all along — draft a wide receiver in the second round, Mike Williams was crushed. His draft party came and went with a whimper Friday night. Restless and confused, Williams almost eliminated Tampa, Fla., as a possible destination. Almost. “I was thinking from the start williams that Tampa would grab me,” Williams said. “They grabbed another receiver and I thought, ‘Wow, who else now?’ It was shocking, but I’m glad they came back around and got me.” They did. Three picks into the fourth round of this weekend’s NFL Draft, Tampa Bay drafted the former Syracuse wide receiver. To many, it was the biggest roll of the dice in the draft. After an up-and-down collegiate career, Williams will get a fresh start on an ultra-green Bucs offense. Also joining Williams in the pro ranks is former SU defensive tackle Arthur Jones, who was taken by the Baltimore Ravens in the fifth round (157th overall). Jones, who couldn’t be reached for comment, joins a loaded Ravens front four responsible for keeping Ray Lewis and Co. blocker-free. This day was a long time coming see williams page 18
Even in SU victory, Friars’ stagnant offensive attack provokes frustration By Zach Brown Asst. Copy Editor
Max Bartig had never seen anything like it before. With five minutes left in the first quarter and Syracuse holding a three-goal lead, Providence sophomore midfielder Jake Nolan took the ball behind the net late and started to waste the clock. The rest of the Friars offense remained stagnant in front of the goal. Not one player made even the slightest effort to get open. Nolan moved around near the end line only to avoid checks from SU midfielder Jovan Miller.
Providence simply did not want to let the game out of hand. They decided keep-away was the best strategy against SU, drawing the ire of many of the Orange players. “That’s not the way you want to play lacrosse,” goalie John Galloway said. “There’s no beating around the bush. That’s not lacrosse, what we played today.” That first stalling possession finally ended after nearly four minutes, when Miller tomahawked the stick out of Nolan’s hands. But it wouldn’t be the last time Providence decided to run the clock
