ess than 24 hours removed from the White House Young America Series, Dylan Lustig sat slouched at his desk in the Student Association office. He looked tired as he discussed the event, which he called his greatest success halfway through his first term as president. “We brought White House officials to campus and hopefully started discussion and got people thinking about things,” Lustig said. Though many in SA counted the series as a success, Lustig’s presi-

he few snowflakes swirling around Tom Millas’ head served as yet another reminder of how much MayFest has changed in four years. “My freshman year was the last year of true MayFest,” said Millas, a senior public relations major. “It was in the high 60s, sunny, with a slight breeze.” This year’s MayFest consisted of a celebration in Walnut Park from 1-6 p.m., during which students were

dency has faced some criticism. Those in his administration praise Lustig for his personable nature and relationship with SU’s administration, but others have criticized him for not seeing initiatives through. In a landslide victory against opponent Taylor Carr, Lustig assumed the presidency by a 1,195vote margin in the fall. He ran on the platform of greater community outreach, improved campus safety, and more visible and personable student leadership at SU.

Judge holds ruling in defamation lawsuit for at least two weeks By Alexandra Hitzler STAFF WRITER
A State Supreme Court justice withheld decision to proceed with the ongoing defamation case filed against Syracuse University and men’s head basketball coach Jim Boeheim. Justice Brian DeJoseph announced the court will need at least two weeks before ruling on the slander suit at the hearing at the Onondaga County Supreme Court held on Friday at 2 p.m. Former ball boys Bobby Davis and Mike Lang are suing Boeheim and the university for defamation after Boeheim accused the stepbrothers of lying and seeking money after they came forward with accusations of sexual abuse against Bernie Fine, former associate basketball coach for the men’s basketball team. Boeheim’s lawyers argue the coach’s statements were merely hyperbolic and sarcastic. Fine, who was fired from the uni-
versity Nov. 27, has denied all sexual abuse allegations and has not been charged. He was recently hired as a consultant for the Maccabi Bazan Haifa basketball team in Israel. Attorneys from both sides appeared before DeJoseph. He said both lawyers had given him plenty to review, and he hoped to have a decision within the next two weeks. In Friday’s hearing, lawyers representing Boeheim stated their claim that Boeheim’s case should be dismissed, as he is not guilty of defamation because he made statements of opinion that are protected by the constitution. Lawyers said Boeheim wanted to “constitutionally protect himself by offering his opinion” during a public debate that compared Boeheim to Joe Paterno in the recent Pennsylvania State University case. Attorneys argued that Boeheim had the right to offer his opinion
