Sold-out concert stays safe By Beckie Strum News Editor
hip-hop artist most notably known for 2007’s Billboard chart toppers, “Superstar” and “Kick, Push,” never let the audience’s mind wander. He flowed from one song to the next, weaving new and old so the audience could keep pace with him. From the start, crowd members
Passion Pit’s lead singer Michael Angelakos screamed into the sea of students at Skytop Field. “How many of you started drinking at 8 o’clock? 10? 11? Now?” Angelakos yelled. From the crowd rose hundreds of arms and cheers in agreement. Although Sunday’s Juice Jam Festival was the first to sell out in the event’s seven-year history, the large crowd did not prove to be any wilder than previous years, said staff from both the Department of Public Safety and Chestnut Street Security, Inc. Sunday’s Juice Jam included performances from headline artist Lupe Fiasco and opening acts Super Mash Bros. and Passion Pit. Maintaining safety at Juice Jam is a big operation that includes coordination between the Syracuse Fire Department, DPS, hired security and University Union, said DPS Cpl. Joe Shanley. “We formed a committee months ago to discuss the needs and desires of the concert,” Shanley said. “There haven’t been any hiccups or headaches.” Shanley said he likes working Juice

risbees, bottles, humans and, most importantly, the energy were all on the rise at 2010’s Juice Jam Festival. The festival had an eclectic mix of genres from mash-up bands to synthetic pop, but the one thing that
remained constant was the buzzing energy that transferred from the stage to the audience. After a dramatic countdown from his band and a display of timed lighting, Lupe Fiasco, the headlining act, bolted onto the stage, spinning around in circles, jumping up and down, and making sure the audience

SU, Syracuse honor ninth anniversary of Sept. 11 with weekend of prayer, volunteering By Keith Edelman Contributing Writer
Sept. 11, 2001, may have happened nine years ago, but Father Linus DeSantis knows it is still an emotional day — both nationwide and for Syracuse University students. “There’s so much in it — there’s life, there’s death, there’s peace, there’s for-
giveness, there’s justice,” said DeSantis, the Catholic chaplain at Hendricks Chapel. “If you look at all those words, there’s quite a bit to sort out.” To commemorate the ninth anniversary of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, Hendricks Chapel opened its doors for students wishing to visit for prayer or quiet reflection. Meanwhile,
a city nonprofit hosted a weekend of volunteerism to promote kindness and understanding. Hendricks was open from 10:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. A single candle was lit at the front of the chapel, and various members of the chapel staff, including DeSantis, the Rev. Gail Riina, the Rev. Michael McQuitty,
the Rev. Rick Hill and Dean Tiffany Steinwert, were available throughout the day. Gabriela Montilla, a fifth-year architect major, was one of the students who went to Hendricks to commemorate those who died that day. She did not originally plan to go to Hendricks, but the open doors made
her feel welcome and persuaded her to come in. Though she is from Puerto Rico, Montilla said it is still important for her to remember those who lost their lives. The weekend came to a close Sunday on the steps of Hendricks Chapel, with food and live performances designed to see Sept. 11 page 4

Israel limits settlement construction
The prime minister of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu, may be willing to limit construction in the West Bank settlement after a partial building suspension expires on Sept. 26, according to The New York Times. Israel and Palestine are currently in the midst of peace talks, and Palestinian leaders have warned that if Israeli construction is renewed, the negotiations would end. Netanyahu and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas will be meeting Tuesday, and the construction is expected to be part of the discussion, according to The New York Times.
US poverty expected to rise
The poverty rate in the United States has the potential to reach a record increase, according to The Washington Post. The census figures for 2009 will be released this week. The poverty rate is expected to increase from 13.2 percent to 15 percent. If the estimates are correct, 45 million people in the country, more than one in seven, were poor last year. This would be the highest increase since 1959 when the government first started calculating poverty figures, according to The Washington Post. Demographers expect a rise from 11.7 percent to beyond 12.4 percent for the 18-64 working age population. They also expect child poverty to rise from 19 percent to 20 percent. Cities with the largest increase include Detroit, Los Angeles, and Las Vegas, according to The Washington Post.

crime briefs Police responded at 12:40 a.m. on Saturday to David Zimmerman, a freshman in the State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry, who said he was involved in a fight with four to six males on the 700 block of Euclid Avenue, according to Syracuse police reports. Zimmerman told police one of the males stole his baseball cap, according to the report. The report said Zimmerman appeared highly intoxicated while speaking with police. A check for area suspects turned out negative. Four students were charged with sound reproduction between Saturday and Sunday, according to Syracuse Police Department records. One was charged on Ackerman Avenue, another on Lancaster Avenue and two on the 400 block of Small Road. Police gave four open container violations between Saturday and Sunday in the east neighborhood area, according to Syracuse police reports. One was on Ackerman Avenue and three were on Euclid Avenue.

SU’s plans to go carbon neutral begin with VPA By Meghin Delaney Staff Writer
The College of Visual and Performing Arts is leading the university’s initiative to become carbon neutral by 2040. “Being climate neutral means that you are not emitting a greenhouse gas,” said Steve Lloyd, the associate director for sustainability in the Sustainability Division. “Also, any greenhouse gases that you are emitting are being offset by certain activities you take, like planting trees, so it comes out to a net zero greenhouse gas emissions.” Throughout the summer, the Sustainability Division at Syracuse University performed an initial audit on all 10 of the buildings in which VPA has classes or offices. Currently, the division is creating a list of feasible projects. The next step, Lloyd said, is to collaborate with the maintenance department, students and staff of VPA to see what they’d like done. Then they will go through the list once again and start implementing projects. SU announced its Climate Action Plan in September 2009 as part of its participation in the American College & University Presidents’ Climate Commitment to become carbon neu-

danielle parhizkar | asst. photo editor josh fox , creator of the documentary “Gasland,” highlights the dangers of drilling for gas through a method called hydrofracking at the film’s screening Thursday in the Joyce Hergenhan Auditorium.
The camera bulbs flashed as gowned ladies and suited gentlemen sauntered down the red carpet at Saturday’s movie premiere. After the screening, actors took the stage to accept shining award statues and answer questions from the cheering crowd. The star leading the red carpet processional — the movie’s director, screenwriter and leading man — is 14-year-old Jake Fair of Chittenango, N.Y. This film, which premiered in Goldstein Auditorium, was his wish, one that Syracuse University professors helped make come true. Fair’s film, “Jewel of a Thousand Suns,” was the wish granted to him by the Make-A-Wish Foundation, which works to make dreams come true for children with life-threatening medical conditions. Fair was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis at age 5. In May, the foundation contacted Michael Schoonmaker, chair of the television, radio and film department at SU. Schoonmaker said he gets a request a day from people asking the department to shoot their movies. “This wasn’t just, ‘I need somebody to work for me,’” he said. “This was, ‘We need to make a dream come true.”’ At age 5, Fair started losing weight rapidly, becoming gaunt and malnourished. He fell asleep at kindergarten, prompting calls from his Catholic school to his mother, asking why she was keeping him up at see dream page 8
Discussion about gas drilling documentary gets heated By Rebekah Jones Staff Writer
Tap water is not supposed to catch on fire. But as Josh Fox showed in his Sundance Jury Prize winning documentary “Gasland,” that’s what happens when high pressure hydraulic fracturing, a controversial drilling method for extracting natural gas from shale, pollutes ground water around drinking wells. The film screened Thursday in the Joyce Hergenhan Auditorium to more than 350 students and community members. “Gasland” showed residents living near hydrofracking rigs
experiencing headaches almost immediately after the wells were drilled. Animals started losing their hair and died. People experienced strange brain lesions and rare forms of cancer and died. Fox highlighted the extreme conditions of when hydrofracking goes wrong. Contaminated water in Colorado, toxic wells and creeks in Pennsylvania, and a recent explosion in San Bruno, Calif., have put Fox even more on the offensive. “We are under siege,” Fox said. “A movement is building. The more people learn about it, the more people join the fight.”
Igniting a gas war Several audience members shouted profanity at the politicians and businessmen on screen during the film. Some audience members came with questions, some with answers. Others came with pleas for help. “There’s something wrong with our water,” said Alaina Mallette, a sophomore modern foreign language and environmental policy major. Mallette said her hometown, Watertown, N.Y., began accepting waste from a hydrofracking rig this summer. Within days of receiving the
waste, the water turned metallictasting, Mallette said. After hearing about a similar case in Pittsburgh, in which the city’s main water supply was polluted by waste from a hydrofracking rig and was shut down, Mallette said she was concerned their water may have become toxic. Mallette and her family now buy bottled water from the store. But she said she worries about the long-term effects of bathing in it, brushing her teeth with it and washing her face with it. “I’m not only angry about it for my own sake, but I’m infuri-

Jam because the event is usually tame. His only grievance is the music; he said he wishes UU would invite more artists from the 1970s. One of the main reasons UU only sold 5,000 tickets for the open-air concert was because they would have had to plan extra security if they sold more, including more DPS officers, medical staff and an on-site medical helicopter, said Andrew Beyda, the UU president. Ticket prices would have had to increase to accommodate that number of security personnel, he said. But increasing the cap is something UU intends to do in the future. And although a sellout feels good for the organizers of Juice Jam, Beyda said, they would rather not have to turn students away. As for this year, Beyda said there was more than enough space for all the students who came. One of the main concerns as Sunday approached was the weather forecast, which predicted temperatures in the 60s, with a 50 percent chance of rain. Weather was threatening rain throughout Super Mash Bros., but there were patches of sun and blue sky halfway into Passion Pit’s performance. And although it began to sprinkle right
before Lupe Fiasco took the stage, the worst of Sunday’s rain hit after the concert was over. Despite the weather, students were not deterred from attending the concert. Sylvia Gwozdz, a junior conservation biology major; Kristen Cadacio, a senior television, radio and film major; and Risa Hiser, a senior geography major, came prepared with an umbrella and said nothing would prevent them from seeing Passion Pit.

To cope with the cold, the three friends said they planned to get in the middle of the crowd in front of the stage to absorb the body heat. Hiser said, “It’d be nice if they had hot chocolate.” rastrum@syr.edu —Asst. News Editor Rebecca Kheel contributed reporting to this article.

thank the hundreds of volunteers and community members who were involved in commemorating Sept. 11 in Syracuse. “The weekend has been spectacular. This is a wonderful example of what is possible in the world when people come together,” said Thomas Wolfe, the senior vice president and dean of student affairs. “We know the news, we know the stress of this weekend, but we look at the positive image and positive impact that is coming from Syracuse today.” While Hendricks hosted days of reflection, on Saturday and Sunday, a local nonprofit sponsored the first A-OK! Acts of Kindness Weekend, which included six hubs around the city that hosted dozens of events and community service projects. The weekend was planned by Women Transcending Boundaries, a Syracuse group founded by three women after Sept. 11 with a vision of breaking down barriers and promoting diverse religious and cultural beliefs. The group meets monthly to share unique spiritual and cultural experiences often lost on the public. “I was concerned about Muslim women being harassed in our community,” said Betsy Wiggins, cofounder of Women Transcending Barriers. “I was specifically worried about women who were afraid to go shopping, to send their children to school or just to be in public.” She contacted a local mosque, where she met future Women Transcending Barriers cofounder Danya Wellmon. Similar events were held nationwide in Detroit; Orange County, Calif.; New Holland, Ill.; and Las Vegas. Sept. 11 and 12 was declared
“Acts of Kindness Weekend” this year by Congressman Dan Maffei, County Executive of Onondaga Joanie Mahoney and Syracuse Mayor Stephanie Miner. President Barack Obama also declared Sept. 11 a national day of service. With overwhelming support, it won’t be the last A-OK! weekend, Wiggins said.

“We want to build a sustainable model that is easily replicable to anyone who wants to pick it up in the U.S,” Wiggins said. Josh Cook, a senior in the College of Arts and Sciences, and Kate Fuller, a junior at the State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry, volunteered their time at several hubs for the A-OK! weekend. They worked primarily at the Onondaga Creek cleanup. Both worked to found an interfaith group at SU last year to bring together different cultures on campus. “The main thing we planned to do for the weekend was the Onondaga Creek cleanup,” Fuller said. “It’s a sacred site, so we wanted to honor it with our interfaith group.” ktedelma@syr.edu —Asst.

Limited Juice Jam tickets leave students bored, annoyed
he weather Sunday was miserable. It was cold and rainy and annoying. The kind of day that makes you wish you had a cat to curl up next to you while you snuggle under your covers and watch reruns of “Entourage.” And yet, Sunday wasn’t that kind of day. It was Juice Jam, the day that supports everything I stand for — day-drinking, fist-pumping and Passion Pit. But I wasn’t there. Instead of waking up at 9 a.m. to take shots and shotgun beers, I rolled out of bed at 2 p.m. and spent the afternoon on the couch, too bitter to do anything but watch “Four Christmases” and “I Love You, Man” with my roommates. Paul Rudd’s hilarious awkwardness did slightly brighten my mood, but not enough to get over the fact that I wasn’t at Juice Jam. Yeah, I was too lazy to get a ticket. I woke up every morning with the belief that I could take care of it the
L
really? next day. Seeing how Juice Jam has never sold out, I didn’t think it was something I had to worry about. I get there were all sorts of safety regulations, including something that involved getting a helicopter if capacity surpassed 5,000 people. But when you combine Lupe Fiasco, Passion Pit and Super Mash Bros., you should know that at a school of almost 20,000 students, more than 5,000 would have wanted to attend. I heard there was a guy in a banana suit there. I would have loved to see that. I would have been giddy if fellow concertgoers, drunk
with vodka and the pure pleasure of life, accidentally knocked me to the ground. I would have laughed and popped right back up, happy to be part of such a belligerent, carefree afternoon. But I was robbed of this experience. Hopefully, this will teach me a lesson: I need to buy my Block Party ticket the first chance I get. But this should also teach University Union a lesson to not put together a killer lineup and then only allow a quarter of the school to attend. Ultimately, I blame you, freshmen. You’re all so eager to live your college life that you infringed on mine. Watch out for drive-by snowballs this winter.

SCRIBBLE
British stereotypes prove to be more fiction than fact
ONDON — When choosing London as my study abroad destination, I, being a typical American, attributed the typical stereotypes to this city I had never actually seen. I accepted I was going to a city synonymous with high prices, rain and Harry Potter. But having been here three weeks, I’ve found my premature assumptions to be way off base. First of all, yes, things here are expensive, but they are no pricier than New York City standards. That diamond-studded gold “Syracuse” chain I obsessed over in New York would do no more of a dent on my wallet here. Second, it has only rained twice since I’ve been here; the umbrella that was a “London necessity,” according to my mother, is still hanging on the hook by my door, unused. Lastly, and quite tragically, I have not yet seen a trace of Harry Potter or Hogwarts or any of that nonsense. What I’ve found in lieu of these false assumptions is a London unlike

anything written by Dickens or portrayed in the film “Notting Hill.” This is a city that contradicts its stereotypes and serves you an awesome pint while doing so. First assumption disproved: All British people hate Americans. During a night out at one of London’s countless pubs, I met a student named Tom Ford, who was dressed quite convincingly as the Mad Hatter. After clearing up why he was dressed that way, we got to talking about America. I asked why most British people hate Americans, to which he responded, (insert British accent here), “We don’t hate Americans. We’re simply envious. America is like our little cousin that suddenly became taller and more popular than us. No one likes that.”(End British accent.) Still, I remained doubtful. One drunken British man in a pub dressed as the Mad Hatter barely makes for a convincing source. However, a few days later while in a quiet suburban town, a local man overheard my American accent

a pint a day and yelled across the room, “You’re American?! I love Americans!” before delving into a long-winded speech explaining his exclamation. During this speech, I learned it was his birthday and he was getting a head start on celebrating by having a pint race with his buddies. Well, 2- 0 for America. I’m convinced, British people generally like Americans. Or at least the drunken ones do. Second assumption disproved: Everyone in England drinks tea. As a dedicated Starbucks supporter, I’m glad to say the streets of London are just as speckled with this overpriced coffee shop as any American city, and the inhabitants of London are

equally as fervent coffee consumers as Americans. Sure, the classic tradition of teatime and a “proper British tea” persists in the form of Harrods and several other tea-oriented shops. But for the most part, this tradition has been faded out in favor of coffee. When asking the professor of one of my three-hour long afternoon classes if we could have a break for teatime, I was met with a judging stare and informed that “England’s love for tea does not usurp education.” Hey, at least I tried. Third assumption disproved: All Brits are cheeky. My findings have actually been quite the contrary. In a city where common practice includes visiting pubs on lunch breaks and the typical weather is never hot enough to be uncomfortable, it’s no surprise the local inhabitants are actually quite amiable. Except the one occasion in which one of my flatmates was purposely given wrong directions (“Yeah, it’s just two blocks in that direction. I

know the numbers go the other way, but I’m sure if you walk in this direction you’ll find what you’re looking for.”), people have gone out of their way to be nice. Though I haven’t seen Harry Potter, I have met a Mad Hatter. And however disappointed I am that I won’t escape class time in favor of tea, I’ve learned the Londoner’s love of a pint at the corner pub. Despite the fact that I haven’t seen the unending days of rain supposedly typical of this city, I’ve found the temperament of its inhabitants is as docile and laidback as any senior citizen soaking up the Florida sunshine in his senile serenity. Over the next three months, I’ll be happy to see these contradictions to my preconceived assumptions pile up, because each offers a better alternative. Except for the Harry Potter thing. I’m holding out for that one. Jessica Smith is a junior information management and technology and television, radio and film major.

ated with how people around the country are being silenced by these gas companies,” she said. “What are we supposed to do?” New York has become the battleground for the future of hydrofracking as it is the first state to take action against the industry. A moratorium passed by the New York state Senate in August banned hydrofracking in New York until May 15, 2011. Natural gas companies like Chesapeake and Halliburton, who use hydrofracking as their extraction method for natural gas, already have their sights set on the Marcellus Shale, which runs through the eastern United States, Fox said.
The moratorium must also pass in the state Assembly, which is set to vote on the matter following primaries next week. Then, Gov. David Patterson must approve the law. “The Assembly needs to take action,” said Dereth Glance, executive director for Citizens Campaign for the Environment. Glance said although natural gas has a reputation for being a “cleaner fuel,” it is nonetheless still a fossil fuel, which means it is a limited resource.
Scientists quarrel Donald Siegel, a Syracuse University professor of earth sciences, has been a longtime supporter of hydrofracking and has testified in multiple cases supporting its use. Siegel called “Gasland” a “piece of utter propaganda” manufactured by environmen-

More than 100 parcels of land have been leased to drilling companies, who are waiting for the day when the moratorium passed against hydrofracking expires. The film raises serious concerns about the future of New York’s drinking water, Valesky said. Syracuse’s drinking water supply comes from Skeneateles Lake, which is in the Marcellus Shale region, Valesky explained. It is unfiltered and supplies drinking water to more than 200,000 people. “The gas isn’t going anywhere,” he said. “There’s no need to rush into the procedure. We need to make sure all safety precautions are taken and protect our public drinking water.” Howie Hawkins wants to do more than put a hold on it. He wants to stop it altogether. “Regulation would just smooth the way for all these big companies to come in and drill baby drill,” said Hawkins, Green Party candidate for governor of New York.
talists to force us to find alternative energy resources. “The leaders of opposition groups to hydrofracking have disseminated scientifically incorrect analogies, sometimes outright falsehoods, and exaggerations of rare accidents to generate fear of hydrofracking and the gas industry,” Siegel said. Siegel was employed by Emarat Oil follow-
ing graduation from college. He worked there for two years and said he has learned plenty about the oil industry. Cornell University professor and rock fracturing specialist Tony Ingraffea disagrees. “Things will go wrong,” he said, “and they can be serious to the environment and human health.” The two scientists have been battling back and forth between emails, according to both Ingraffea and Siegel. The two were also pitted against each other in The Post Standard. “He knows more about hydrology than I do,” Ingraffea said, “but I know a hell of a lot more about rock fracturing than he does.” For Ingraffea, the issue boils down to the numbers. The risk of an airplane crashing has to be one in a million for it take to take flight, Ingraffea said. Same goes for an oil refinery, a bridge or any other man-made machine that poses a risk to environmental and human health. Out of the approximately 1,500 wells built in Pennsylvania, there have been dozens of cases of water contamination and one major blowout, Ingraffea said. One in 1,500 is not good enough, he said. But Siegel said the benefits outweigh the risks. People need oil, and natural gas burns cleaner than crude, he said. What happens to people living around hydrofracking rigs is a separate issue altogether. “Do we make a policy based on the rare circumstance of harm or not?” he said. “I guess that’s the fundamental question.” rdjone03@ syr.edu
What is hydrofracking? Officially called hydraulic fracturing, hydrofracking is a process meant to stimulate oil and gas wells. It works by pumping high-pressure fluids into gas-bearing rocks to fracture them. The process has caused controversy in recent years as some call into question its environmental and health safety.

VPA serves as the pilot, and changes will later be carried to other universities and buildings on campus. “Quite a few professors (in VPA) have already integrated sustainability into the curriculum,” said Melissa Cadwell, the marketing manager for the Sustainability Division. “It was a huge bonus for us because they are already invested in sustainability.” SU will enhance and expand the plan every five years to allow new technology and scientific understanding to come into play, Lloyd said. “This measure will help preserve the university for future generations,” Cadwell said.

night. His mom, Kathleen Penny, thought he was dying. A barrage of testing followed, and the possibilities arose: brain lesions, severe heart problems, asthma, digestive problems. After six months, doctors diagnosed Fair with cystic fibrosis, a defective gene that causes the body to produce mucus that clogs the lungs and prevents the pancreas from absorbing food. The Cystic Fibrosis Founda-
as field producers in Syracuse and Cazenovia, and Vaughn became the movie’s producer. “Helping out” turned into a full-time job for Vaughn, who led the team through 16-hour days on sometimes the same number of coffees. The project took three months, hundreds of volunteers and six packed days of fi lming. Vaughn said it helped that Fair knew exactly what he wanted. “When I knew I was going to do the project, I was not expecting a 14-year-old to have any clue what they wanted,” Vaughn said. “And he knew, down to every tiny second, what he wanted.”

tion predicts the median life expectancy is in the mid-30s. Penny cried as she recounted what Fair said to her two years ago. “He asked, ‘Why am I doing all this medicine? I’m never going to get better.’” But then Fair started working on the fi lm that premiered Saturday night in Schine Student Center in front of more than 200 people. Right after Make-A-Wish contacted Schoonmaker, he got a call from his son, Vaughn. A 2008 SU alumnus, Vaughn was taking a summer hiatus between jobs at MTV. Vaughn thought he would help for a weekend, so the entire family, including Schoonmaker’s wife, went in on the project. Sharon and Michael Schoonmaker served
What Fair wanted turned into a 28-minute action thriller called “Jewel of a Thousand Suns.” Myke Wolff (played by Fair) and his best friend (played by John Fredrick, Fair’s real-life best friend) fi nd magical necklaces in the Forest of Darkness that give them special powers. Then military personnel abduct the two friends to help save Tralovano City from an evil villain named M. Baress. “I didn’t want to push them too hard,” Fair said about the fi lm, “but I still liked getting the things I wanted to do.” Fair said his favorite part of the experience was wearing his super suit and magical necklace. “His necklace gave him super strength,” Fair said, clutching the shark-tooth necklace he wore to the premiere. “Mine just makes me look good.” He said he also enjoyed acting with his mom, who played his on-screen mom, and his friends. Another friend, Alicia Koenig, portrayed Lola Croft, the fi lm’s leading lady. Fair was disappointed on one count, though. “I wanted some bad language in it, ‘cause it’d be more realistic of how people talk,” Fair joked. “But we couldn’t. There were children in the audience.” Fair and the entire crew got a dose of the chaos that comes with making a fi lm. One smoke bomb produced a little too much smoke. A stuntwoman drove into the camera with a bike scooter. Army soldiers, who play military men in the movie, had to push a stuck car out of a country field traffic jam after the last day of fi lming. And at the end of it all, Vaughn sat down with 13 hours of footage and the pressure of making a dream come true. “When Fair said the fi lm was marvelous, I almost started crying,” Vaughn said. “When you hear someone is sick or in some kind of health trouble, it means absolutely nothing about their spirit,” Vaughn added. “Except maybe that they work a little harder and try a little harder at everything they do.” After the screening, Fair wrapped up the moral of the fi lm — and maybe even the entire wish. “You don’t need powers to be superhuman,” Fair said. “You just have to believe in yourself.” shmelike@ syr.edu

STAFF WRITER
tuition hike made a couple weeks before the beginning of the semester forced out-of-state students from State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry to dig deeper into their pockets. The increase, determined Aug. 12 by the board of trustees of SUNY, added $510 to the tuition of out-of-state undergraduate students and $530 for out-of-state graduate students. Tuition for instate undergraduate and graduate students was unchanged from last year. The rise came as a result of a $170 million reduction in state funds for the SUNY system, according to an Aug. 12 press release from SUNY. It was left up to individual SUNY campuses to determine what response was necessary in light of the tuition increase. ESF chose to adjust financial aid awards to help offset the increased tuition rate. “SUNY tuition was caught up in the whole state budget process mess, and it wasn’t resolved until very late this summer,” said Robert French, vice president of enrollment management and marketing at ESF. Out of 257 full-time out-of-state, undergraduate students, 174 received increased financial aid in response to the tuition hike, French said. Graduate students who already received assistance had the full $530 increase covered. Although most students in the SUNY system were unaffected due to the large amount of in-state students, out-of-state students felt the

burden of the state budget due to simple politics, French said. “It is politically easier for the New York state Legislature to increase the tuition for out-of-state students because they don’t vote in New York state and neither do their parents,” French said. Some out-of-state students said they were unhappy with the sudden increase. “That doesn’t seem fair,” said Colin Hoffman, a senior wildlife science major from Pennsylvania. “We should be given a fair amount of time to come up with that kind of money.” The late announcement of the increase was a vital factor in ESF’s decision to adjust financial aid awards, French said. “Students thought they knew what they’d be paying until this late tuition adjustment,” French said. “We thought it would be fair, so to speak, to give back as much of that increase as possible.” The increased financial aid, either $500 or $250, was awarded on a case-by-case basis, taking financial need into account. Special consideration was given to first-time ESF students to provide the larger $500 amount because they had received their first financial aid awards recently and planned to attend ESF based on the cost before the increase, French said. The increased financial aid won’t affect ESF’s budget because the additional revenue from the tuition increase wasn’t factored into the budget due to the late decision. ESF was able to help students this year, but there is no guarantee the same response will be possible in future years, French said.
“We certainly couldn’t make an institutional commitment to doing this every year,” French said. “We felt that the circumstances were very unusual this year, and we felt there was a real fairness issue involved.” Because ESF began adjusting financial aid awards shortly after the tuition increase announcement, students received notification of the tuition hike and increased awards at the same time. “I would be very surprised if many of the other campuses were able to do this as quickly as we were,” French said. Other SUNY campuses took their own approaches to the increase. SUNY-Cortland helped some students combat the increase with financial aid, while others already factored the extra money into their budget, said Karen Gallagher, SUNY-Cortland’s director of financial aid. Administrators at Cortland increased the amount of a new award for incoming students by 4 percent to help offset the out-of-state resident increase. Since the award is new this year, only some freshmen have received it, leaving out-ofstate upperclassmen to come up with the money on their own. “It’s something that’s kind of been on the table recently, and I think many people planned ahead,” Gallagher said. The majority of students at SUNY-New Paltz weren’t affected by the increase because outof-state residents only make up 5 percent of the student body, said Daniel Sistarenik, director of financial aid at New Paltz.
Although New Paltz didn’t adjust all out-ofstate financial aid, administrators reviewed several cases at individual students’ requests and were able to provide additional assistance to those students, he said. “Tuition increases are never fun, and bad timing only makes it worse,” Sistarenik said. “These are tough times, and I think we did the best we could.” jlsiart@syr.edu

Opening acts bring house-party antics to Skytop By Flash Steinbeiser Feature Editor
By the time Lupe Fiasco took the stage, the party had already started without him. Fiasco was to be the main event. The multicolored stage lights and prolonged introduction proved that. But with strong, borderline-chaotic sets from Passion Pit, Super Mash Bros. and Mouth’s Cradle, the 2010 Juice Jam Festival was more than just a one-man show. “Them alone would have made for a good concert,” said Brandt Hale, a freshman television, radio and film major. In a concert that seemed more like a house party, the three bands were an untamed force, with students acting like they were in a Euclid Avenue basement instead of rocking out on Skytop Field. The only thing missing was the keg. “It was one big dance party,” said Imani Folkes, a senior public relations major. Mouth’s Cradle was the first to take the stage. The SU student band captured only a small audience, but singer Kevin Hegedus’s eccentric stage performance, filled with hopping, thumping and Pokémon songs, piqued enough student interest. Call it the audience’s pregame. After a short transition, mash-up group Super Mash Bros. corralled audience members to form a tight-knit, yet sprawling mob. Mixing together countless artists and songs from their bumper sticker-adorned laptops, spectators flocked to the stage. And that’s where things got crazy.
Moving frantically to the nonstop music, people started to forget how overcast and windy it was. Sweat poured down students’ faces as they jumped, grinded and crowd surfed in front of the performers. Combining the work of Fatboy Slim and the theme song from “Friends,” Super Mash Bros. led the crowd with a diverse set. As any good party host should, they even dedicated a song to partygoers: a mash up of “Pour Some Sugar on Me” and “Right Thurr.” “Have fun, frat boys,” said band member Dick Fink. “They were just so good,” said freshman aquatic and fishery sciences major Anna Zabirova. “I think they just gained a huge fan base.” Like any good Comstock Avenue party, there was even a fight. Well, kind of. Near the end of their 50-minute set, Fink and fellow member Nicolas Fenmore held a mash-up battle to see who could best remix the “Space Jam” theme song. Trading musical blows, Fink and Fenmore tried to out-mix one another. When asking the crowd who had the better remix, there was no clear answer. It didn’t matter — everyone was having too much fun interacting with the performers. A long wait between Super Mash Bros. and Passion Pit brought the festivities to a lull. Trying to contain the rowdy crowd, University Union President Andrew Beyda asked audience members to refrain from throwing objects on stage and crowd surfing. The words went in one
ear and out the other. Finally, Passion Pit took the stage. Starting off with a few slower songs, the synth-pop band kept the borderline stagnant pace. It was beginning to look more like a concert than the house party the
an hour and was getting ready to exit, a question lingered in nearly every person’s mind: Where was the band’s most recognizable song, “Sleepyhead?” As lead singer Michael Angelakos commanded, “Syracuse, make some noise!” the

festival had become. Then suddenly, an orange Frisbee was thrown directly on stage, nearly hitting guitarist Ian Hultquist in the face. The party was back on. As if on cue, dozens of students began crowd surfing, gaining excitement with each song. At times, there were more than five students surfing simultaneously. Arms flailed and shoes were flung. Looking at the scene in front of them, the band could not help but laugh at how wild the crowd had become. Some students enjoyed the numerous flailing bodies being passed. However, others were not so pleased. “We dropped five people,” said senior marketing major Carlin Reilly, who was with five of her friends. “We were trying to enjoy Passion Pit, but people were falling on us.” While Passion Pit had been playing for nearly
familiar intro rang out, and the crowd erupted. Just when it looked like this bash was going to end on a high note, Passion Pit decided an after party was in order. As an encore, the band played “Little Secrets,” which sent the crowd into a frenzy once again. People were lifted into the air once more as Passion Pit went out in style, blaring the popular song before finally taking their leave. Scattered cups, bottles and trash littered the stage area while students sat down to catch a breath. Lupe Fiasco’s crew had not even begun setting up, but the evidence was everywhere. The party did not arrive with Lupe Fiasco, it was waiting for him. “It wasn’t just one big act,” said senior industrial design major Annie Ryan. “It felt like it was two different concerts.”
silver lining
his bag from a yet-to-be released album titled “Lasers.” The first new song, “Scream,” started with a sneaking but prominent bassline, followed by “Lasers,” and finally a song that had a statement for antagonists, “Go to Sleep.” “I have another new song from the record, ‘Go to Sleep,’” Fiasco told the audience before he got into his newest tune. “I made this record for y’all. The record label is doing what they want with it, but it’s cool, they can go to sleep.” Getting the audience into the mix, he turned the microphone out to the crowd and had them respond to situations deserving of the phrase, “Go to sleep.” “I am a huge, huge Lupe fan. He was definitely an artist that I wanted to check off of my concert list,” said Toluwalope Okeowo, a senior communication and rhetorical studies major. “I was so excited when he played songs from his new album.” When Fiasco last appeared at Syracuse University, he opened for R&B artist Ciara at the 2007 Block Party, University Union’s spring concert. Now as the headlining act, Fiasco knew what the audience wanted to hear in the end. “This is getting to the main event,” Fiasco told the audience right before he performed his most recognizable hit, “Superstar,” from his 2007 album “The Cool.” To close out his hourlong set and the entire event, Fiasco sang the happy, upbeat “Daydreamin’” from 2006’s “Food and Liquor.” As he finished the performance, Fiasco took a look at the audience with a gracious smile before Big Baby Bam tossed his drumstick out into the crowd. “Lupe had the lights, the guitar and the drumming,” Okeomo said, despite being disappointed that he didn’t perform the song “Fighters.” “He and Super Mash Bros. were my favorites.”

were screaming, pulling out cameras and phones, and singing along with every word. Fans could not have cared less about the rain clouds that greeted Fiasco’s set. Actually, the rain seemed to egg on the masses. “Juice Jam was better this year. Even though the weather sucked, the rain didn’t really dampen my time,” said Mike Spencer, a sophomore finance major. Fiasco’s band didn’t disappoint, either. Eric

Campbell, the guitarist, was shredding rifts that made the audience cheer, while drummer Big Baby Bam pounded his drumsticks, even standing up on a few songs. He also added in some well-known pop culture elements to his routine with a cover of Radiohead’s “The National Anthem” and a small clip from Mr. C The Slide Man’s “Cha-Cha Slide.” While Fiasco certainly didn’t slow down, he did take the time to let audience members know he was thinking of them. “We’re going to continue to do our jobs so that we can get you guys out of the rain,” Fiasco told the audience, which roared in response. While old favorites like “Hip-hop Saved My Life,” “Kick, Push,” and “Go, Go Gadget Flow,” kept the audience engaged and singing along, Fiasco pulled some of his new material out of

Stumped
New, returning television programs face tough questions for fall season
W
What is “The Event?”
By Abram Brown Staff Writer
ith fresh television premieres just around the corner, here are five key questions to consider when looking at this season’s lineups. adbrow03@syr.edu
Trying to follow the success of past shows with cryptic plotlines, NBC’s “The Event” possesses more potential than any other new show on TV this fall. With a fantastic viral advertising campaign, it certainly raises the question as to what “event” would give the show its namesake. Viewers need something to take the place of “Lost,” and this show wants to slip into the place vacated by the memorable sci-fi drama. To truly fill the boots of “Lost,” “The Event” needs to borrow from what made the first season of “Lost” great: combining a plot that answers questions as often as it raises them, while also displaying competent acting.
Can “Glee” find second-season success?
mmoshift.com
“Glee” operates as a one-trick pony: snappy writing combined with good musical performances. Despite the show’s loyal fan base, so many factors could spell an end to this show. Perhaps a few episodes will feature poor music choices. It would be surprising if this show makes it past a third season, which the cast signed on for back in May. But most importantly, a writer could walk away from the program, which would hurt the overall quality: “Glee” revolves around its writing, not the acting.
myspacerevolution.com
Will “American Idol” find judges?
Ciao, Simon. See ya, Ellen. Peace out, Kara. The former titan of reality TV has fallen on hard times. The show lost three judges since it ended its ninth season, leaving only one original judge, Randy Jackson, for Season 10. Fox needs to announce its finalized replacements sooner rather than later, so it can build a convincing campaign for its newest season. Best bets: J.C. Chasez, Faith Hill and Kanye West. Faith Hill would bring country flair to the show, and the other two are prominent music industry players.
Will any new cop show stand out? Nearly every network plans to welcome some sort of cop drama to its lineup this year. Granted, cop shows take advantage of the natural drama between good and evil, police vs. criminals. But networks seem to think this easy-to-turn-to drama formula will automatically equal good programs. Wrong. These shows need to prove they will bring something more than just standard fodder — they need to make themselves stand out. They will fail if they try to borrow too much from the past. The producers need to push the boundaries. Think “NYPD Blue,” not “L.A. Heat.”
nvo.com
myfoxnepa.com
Which American Movie Channel drama will finish stronger? AMC is hot. After some early season stagnation, “Mad Men” continues to pick up the pace as it comes down to the end of its fourth season. The past two episodes are still some of the best ever, even as it becomes increasingly difficult to watch Don Draper’s (Jon Hamm) liquor-induced downfall. AMC’s recent hit, “Rubicon,” blends its elements well, mixing good acting performances with a unique take on the spy-conspiracy drama. On Halloween, AMC will debut another drama, “The Walking Dead,” based on a wellknown graphic novel. “Mad Men” will probably finish the strongest on this list, but “Rubicon” and “The Walking Dead” seem to be fine additions to this stellar network.

with Doug Marrone leading the way. Despite how poorly the Orange played Saturday, it’s way too premature for that. This is a time to renew faith in what Marrone has spent the better part of two years establishing at Syracuse. To renew that sense of optimism that followed a win at Akron. Yes, an embarrassing loss to the Huskies means this squad isn’t where Marrone wanted his squad to be heading into Week 3 against Maine. Overhearing a portion of his passionate postgame locker room speech is evident of that. But SU has three weeks to correct itself and right the ship before it starts what is expected to
sports@ da ilyor a nge.com
be the toughest four-game stretch of its season. Three weeks to fix the glitches in practice and to put a hurt on Maine and Colgate. By that time, barring a complete and utter disaster, the Orange should be 3-1. It should have that “swag” back. It should be off to its best start since 2003. “We shot ourselves in the foot,” SU linebacker Doug Hogue said. “Washington’s a good team, but there were a lot of opportunities out there that we could’ve capitalized on.” It’s not a coincidence that faith becomes stronger through overcoming opposition. Overcoming Saturday’s loss, both in practice and on game day over the next two weeks at home and the bye week afterward, could put the Orange right back where it needs to be heading into Big East play. And Saturday’s game in Seattle may have
“I think we’re going to be a good football team this year. I think we’re going to have to work on attention to detail, and it wasn’t going to be easy. We knew that coming in.” Doug Marrone
SU head coach
been just the wake-up call to make that happen. Responding after a loss like that, as opposed to lying down the rest of the way, is something Marrone has instilled in this team since his arrival. Though it’s still a work in progress, Marrone has begun to change the losing culture at SU. He never expected it to be easy. But at some point, he’s expecting the results to speak for themselves. “I think we’re going to be a good football team this year,” Marrone said emphatically Saturday. “I think we’re going to have to work on attention to detail, and it wasn’t going to be easy. We knew that coming in.” Marrone, visibly distraught after Saturday’s loss, realizes how important each game is — especially this year. Not only does his team need seven wins to capture a bowl berth, but he also understands that results are what a program is ultimately judged upon. The loss this weekend means even if Syracuse wins its next two at home, as expected, it must still win four of its last eight games — none of which will be easy contests. Perhaps that’s why it’s so frustrating for Marrone to see his squad play so poorly against the same caliber of opponent SU will face in the Big East this season.
And that’s why a loss like this should provoke a response. A big response. Would it have a few years ago? Probably not. But once again, the culture is in the process of changing. Marrone will make sure the Orange is ready for redemption. “I’m going to go out here this week and I’m not going to do anything but let my team get better,” SU running back Delone Carter said. “I’m going to go out there and push them and work them. … And I guarantee we make this season a positive one.” So it’s only understandable to expect Marrone’s squad to respond in a big way when it returns home to the Carrier Dome in Syracuse this weekend. After Saturday’s pride-swallowing performance and the tongue-lashing that followed, expect something big. Expect something huge. If that doesn’t happen, then it might be the time to start questioning this team. But not now. It’s way too early, and Marrone has done too much to change the culture of this program to even think about jumping ship now. aljohn@syr.edu

Men’s soccer places 2nd in Mayor’s Cup, field hockey splits pair of weekend road contests The Syracuse men’s soccer team finished with a record of 1-1 in this weekend’s Mayor’s Cup tournament at Hartwick College in Oneonta, N.Y. The Orange recorded its first win of the season — and first under new head coach Ian McIntyre — in a 1-0 overtime triumph against Northeastern on Friday. SU got the win despite being outshot 17-3. Junior midfielder Nick Roydhouse netted the game-winner on a 22-yard free kick in the sixth minute of extra time. Syracuse took advantage of one of its few opportunities throughout the match. The team managed just one shot in each period of play. Helping preserve the shutout were goalkeepers Ryan Jones and Jeremy Vuolo. Jones, last year’s No. 1 goalkeeper for the Orange, got his first start under McIntyre. Together, the goalie duo made five saves in SU’s second shutout of the season. On Sunday, the Orange fell 2-0 to Columbia, the eventual tournament champion. SU outshot the Lions in the second half and held them to zero corner kicks, but couldn’t find the back of the net. The team’s 10 shots on goal were its most since the season opener against Siena, but only one of its six shots in the second half was on goal. Columbia got on the board in the 21st minute on a goal from Henning Sauerbier. The Orange (1-3) played tough for the next 60 minutes until a late goal by the Lions sealed the defeat. Despite Sunday’s loss, the Orange finished second in the tournament by virtue of its headto-head win over Northeastern. The Orange returns to action Saturday when it travels to Washington, D.C., to take on American.
Field hockey For the second straight weekend, the Syracuse field hockey team came up just short of two big wins on the road. The Orange defeated No. 17 Old Dominion 3-1 on Saturday, but fell to No. 3 Virginia in a 2-1 overtime loss Sunday. Both games were played at the Powhatan Sports Complex in Norfolk, Va. The ninth-ranked Orange started the weekend strong against Old Dominion, as junior forward Heather Susek and freshman midfielder Leonie Geyer took care of all of the scoring. Geyer beat the ODU goalkeeper from 10 yards out for SU’s first tally, but the Lady Monarchs tied the game before halftime. Susek took over from there. Under a minute into the second half, she tapped in the rebound after an ODU save to give the Orange a lead they wouldn’t relinquish. Nearly 10 minutes later, Susek scored in the same fashion for the game’s final goal. All of SU’s goals were unassisted, and sophomore goalkeeper Leann Stiver had three saves for the Orange. SU outshot Old Dominion 19-10 in the game. SU’s game Sunday was a battle from the start, and the first goal didn’t come until 31:45 into the game. Junior midfielder Martina Loncarica scored off of a penalty corner for the Orange’s only goal, but Virginia bounced back with a goal just before halftime. Both goalkeepers were flawless in the second half, and the teams headed into overtime deadlocked in a 1-1 tie. Just over three minutes into overtime, Virginia’s Elly Buckley beat Stiver to hand the Orange (4-2) another disappointing loss. The Cavaliers outshot the Orange 16-11 and
had double the amount of penalty corners (8-4). Stiver had eight saves in the game. With her goal in the game on Saturday, Geyer now leads the Orange in points on the season with eight. Susek is tied with senior forward Lindsey Conrad for the team lead in goals with three. The two games were part of a tough six-game road trip that doesn’t end until a Sept. 25 game against Louisville. SU still has two games left on the swing and will face Rutgers and Princeton next weekend before coming home.
Volleyball No matter what happens for the rest of the season, this year’s Syracuse volleyball team will, at least, go into the record books for its hot start to the season. The Orange won this past weekend’s Rose Hill Classic at Fordham, capturing its third tournament title of the season. Syracuse improved to 12-0, marking its best start to a season in program history. Previously, the Orange’s best record to begin a season was 9-1, set in 1991 and 2004. Syracuse swept its opponents on both days of the tournament. Syracuse defeated Stony Brook
and Fordham on Friday, and went on to do the same against Rider and Harvard on Saturday. SU had everything working on both days of the Rose Hill Classic, continuing its balanced offensive attack along with its solid defense. Throughout the entire tournament, the Orange never lost a set, in the process beating its opponents by a combined score of 12-0. Outside hitter Noemie Lefebvre continued her strong season, winning the MVP award for the tournament. The junior finished with 42 kills and 24 digs. Lefebvre had 12 kills against Fordham on Friday, while senior outside hitter Hayley Todd had 13 of her own against Stony Brook. Laura Homann had 63 assists throughout both matches. SU had nine different players with kills on Saturday, with Lefebvre notching 20 and middle blocker Lindsay McCabe not far behind at 16. Todd finished the day with 15 kills and 12 digs. Outside hitter Erin Little played for the first time this season after an ankle injury kept her on the bench for the start of the year.

Trend of 2nd-half success keys SU win over Bearcats By Andrew Tredinnick Staff Writer
The Syracuse women’s soccer team has had to look at a zero on the scoreboard after 45 minutes all too often this season. But when it comes to the second half, the Orange has thrived. Sunday was no different. After struggling to find chances early in the game, the Orange exploded in the second half, scoring four goals to defeat Binghamton 4-0. “Sometimes it takes us a little while to get into the game and get our rhythm, but once we get our rhythm, I think we move the ball quite well,” SU head coach Phil Wheddon said. “Whether we’re a first-half team or a secondhalf team, I’m just happy we’re coming away with a win.” Syracuse had scored six of its seven season goals in the second half entering Sunday’s game. After only taking four shots in the first half, the Orange returned to what it has done best. The trend continued. The Orange scored four goals in the second half, dominating the Bearcats in nearly every facet of the game. SU players recognize the vast majority of its goals come toward the end of games. It has yielded results, but it’s something the Orange still wants to change.
ashli truchon | contributing photographer phil wheddon earned his most lopsided victory as the head coach of Syracuse women’s soccer on Sunday, when SU defeated Binghamton 4-0. The four goals scored by the Orange were the most since defeating Fairleigh Dickinson by the same score in 2004. “That’s what we’ve been hearing frequently, that we’re a second-half team, and we’re trying to change that,” sophomore forward Brielle Heitman said. “We’re trying to start off forceful and hard, and come out like we do in the second half.” Heitman scored her third and fourth goals of the season in the second half. She found the back of the net in the 69th minute on a rebound off a cross from Casey Ramirez. She later scored on a header from Rosina Callisto. Heitman used a two-goal second half against Colgate earlier in the season to clinch a victory for the Orange. She has played a direct role in the trend. “When I go in there, I just want to make a difference,” Heitman said. “When I go in, I want to bring the team up and I want to make a difference and possibly score goals for them and bring up the attitude.” Binghamton frustrated the Orange early on, forcing SU into an array of bad shots. Syracuse didn’t have a quality chance at goal until the 55th minute, when Jenna Rickan headed the

ball just wide of goal. Binghamton controlled play for much of the first half, forcing turnovers and keeping SU away from its net. Wheddon knew changes had to be made, and the team came out hungry in the second half. “As you saw today, they imposed their will on us, they played very direct,” Wheddon said. “Every ball was a long ball. We weren’t able to get our composure.” Chances were few and far between in the first half. But the Orange returned to normalcy in the second half, outshooting Binghamton and
owning the possession battle. But Wheddon knows his team will have to improve in the first half if it wishes to succeed in the long term. One good half won’t cut it against Big East competition. “Our goal is to start with that rhythm, not wait until the second half,” Wheddon said. “Against Big East teams like Notre Dame, we can’t wait 45 minutes to find our rhythm. We have to be there from the first whistle.” Sophomore midfielder Tina Romagnuolo has scored all of her goals in the second half of games this season. To Romagnuolo, the Orange needs to have its second-half mentality throughout the entirety of the game. Then, SU can thrive for more than just a half. “I think with the first half, we just think we have the whole game to get a win,” Romagnuolo said. “When it comes down to the second half, we all just come together and try harder.” adtredin@syr.edu

ashli truchon | contributing photographer jasmine watkins (22) attempts to dribble around a Binghamton forward in Sunday’s game. Four second-half goals turned a tight game into a rout, as Syracuse won 4-0.
Contributions off bench lead to 2nd-half onslaught, easy victory By Zuri Irvin Staff Writer
The SU women’s soccer season is young, but head coach Phil Wheddon might already have his deepest team yet at Syracuse. And on Sunday, the Orange was able to show what kind of difference a deep bench makes in a close game. “It shows when a lot syracuse 4 of different people score binghamton 0 goals,” Wheddon said. “In training, it makes our jobs difficult as coaches. And that’s what we ask the players to do, is make our jobs difficult. So that’s why we’re trying to get as many people as much time as possible.” After a tightly played and scoreless first half, a second unit helped propel the Orange offense to a 4-0 victory over Binghamton. That unit consisted of Kayla Afonso, Taylor Chamberlain, Brielle Heitman, Brittany Kinmond and Patricia Lind. The four goals are the most the Orange has scored in a game since its season opener in 2004, when SU defeated Fairleigh Dickinson 4-0. In the first half, Syracuse (3-3-2) struggled to create shot opportunities while Binghamton (2-4) played a defensive game, resulting in just six combined shots for the two teams. After halftime, the game opened up when senior Megan
Bellingham and sophomore Brielle Heitman re-entered the game in the 65th minute. Chamberlain connected with Bellingham on a corner kick for the first goal. Junior defender Casey Ramirez found Heitman off of a rebound from a cross. And Rosina Callisto linked up with Heitman on a second corner, giving the Orange three quick scores in a 15-minute span. Syracuse had already blown ahead 3-0 when Lind finished the scoring with her first career goal in the 88th minute. What was once an offensive struggle was now an overwhelming team victory. Syracuse had Binghamton looking like Fairleigh Dickinson. “I think we just pressed up and put more pressure on them,” Ramirez said. “Our forwards were doing more movement than in the first half, so we were trying to play off each other and get some shots off.” Syracuse outshot Binghamton 16-3, including a 12-1 advantage in the second half. Heitman, who scored two goals on Sunday for the second time this season, was relieved to see her team’s shot margin start to pay off at the end of games. “In the beginning of the season we were getting frustrated and outshooting teams, but not having any results on the scoreboard,” Heitman said. “I think it’s nice to finally get those results
“It shows when a lot of different people score goals. In training, it makes our jobs difficult as coaches. And that’s what we ask the players to do, is make our jobs difficult. So that’s why we’re trying to get as many people as much time as possible. ”

that make the difference.” A Central Michigan transfer in her first year with the Orange, Heitman is in the middle of an improved bench consisting of mostly freshmen and sophomores. For the second time this season on Sunday, Heitman came into the game late for SU and helped spark a win at home. “Right place, right time,” Wheddon said. “Some people would say it was a great substitution. She’s very, very good. She is very calm and collected in front of goal. She’s been doing great for us.” Marjory Elwell, a senior defender and member of SU’s second unit, did not get into the game Sunday. Still, she recognized and appreciated the role of her fellow reserves with regards to SU’s overall success.
“We have a lot of outside backs right now,” Elwell said. “On one level, it’s frustrating because, obviously, it cuts into playing time. But on another level, it’s definitely a positive thing because it encourages competition and it brings a lot of options, which is always a good thing.” Wheddon said those options have come with SU’s growing ability to work cohesively. The cohesion is told through the percentages. And, of course, the numbers and depth. “If we’re all 1 percent better, collectively we’re 25, 26 percent better,” Wheddon said. “We’ve really challenged them to step up their games a bit, and they’ve responded magnificently.” zoirvin@syr.edu

washington from page 24
Husky offense made the most of an opportunity to take advantage of a shaky SU defense, ultimately leading Washington to a decisive 41-20 victory in front of a crowd of 62,418 at Husky Stadium. Wide receiver Jermaine Kearse and running back Chris Polk each took turns torching the Syracuse defense time and time again. When the final seconds ticked off the clock, the pair had abused the proud SU defense through the air and on the ground, to the tune of 298 yards and four touchdowns. Adding salt to an open wound, Locker still provided his own stamp on the game. Though the SU defense properly neutralized his ability to run the ball, he finished the game 22-for-33 for 289 yards and four touchdowns. “They did a nice job,” SU head coach Doug Marrone said. “They made plays, and I thought their quarterback played well. We gave up some big plays and missed tackles.” Early on, it appeared as though Syracuse
would pick up where it left off last weekend at Akron. Quarterback Ryan Nassib led the Orange to two scoring drives to open the game, and the defense kept Locker and Co. pinned back in their own territory. Just when the Orange appeared to have control of the game, things started to slip out of control. The momentum shifted on Washington’s first scoring drive, and the Orange was unable to get it back for the rest of the game. “Defensively, I thought we were aggressive,” Marrone said. “But when we were in the position to make plays, we didn’t make (them).” Leading up to the matchup against the Huskies, Syracuse strong safety Max Suter referred to the pass defense as “lights out” when it didn’t allow a single touchdown pass a week earlier against Akron. It was the first time in over a year the Orange had accomplished the feat. But Saturday, the tables were turned. This time, it was the defensive secondary’s inability to stop the big play that served as the weak link in a defense that looked much different from just a week earlier. “The wide receivers did a good job,” SU defensive end Chandler Jones said. “They did a good
job of getting yards after the catch, and that’s what hurt us the most.” Whether it was Shamarko Thomas and Mike Holmes both going after what could have been an easy interception or letting Polk slip away for a 52-yard touchdown run after he was pinned in the backfield, SU’s defense let what could have been a close game become an onslaught. For a squad entering the game with so much pride and optimism, it was a disappointing performance. Syracuse’s defense gave up four plays of more than 25 yards in the second half alone Saturday. “It’s not how you start,” SU linebacker Derrell Smith said. “It’s how you finish. We’ve just got to finish the game.” Once the Husky defense started making stops, the offense followed. As the Husky defense tightened up after allowing the game’s first 10 points, Locker’s offense kept the SU defense on the field for long, demoralizing scoring drives. Washington went on to score 27 unanswered points and cruised to victory. By the time the Orange finally scored again, in the fourth quarter, half the stadium had already started heading for the exits. The game was over.

With so much promise coming into the game, Marrone was visibly distraught with the outcome. But after letting off some postgame steam, and despite the overall frustration, Marrone was still able to think somewhat positively. “We’re going to need to fight and scratch every day in practice,” Marrone said. “And we’ll fight and scratch every day in a game, and we’ll be fine.” aljohn@syr.edu

Marrone acknowledges own ‘poor decision’ By Andrew L. John SPORTS EDITOR
SEATTLE — Despite the disappointing play of both the offense and the defense Saturday, Marrone made a point of admitting he made a “poor decision” when he went for the touchdown with seven seconds left in the half, as opposed to what would have been a 43-yard field goal. An SU field goal would have tied the score at 13 heading into halftime. “I made a poor decision early on,” Marrone said. “We had vertical routes in the end zone. I thought we could score a touchdown and get some momentum going in with the lead. And they ruled it a fumble. And we lost the time. And we could’ve kicked a field goal. So that’s my fault.” Marrone also took the blame for some other strategic mistakes that took place early during Saturday’s game, when SU could’ve potentially taken a bigger lead when it was already up by 10. He said he may have been overly aggressive at times. “I made some bad calls,” Marrone said. “I made the toss-reverse in the red zone. We wound up kicking a field goal, making it 10-0. I could’ve
OFFENSE FROM PAGE 24
“We knew our backs were against the wall,” said Washington cornerback Desmond Trufant, who finished the game with four tackles. “The sense of urgency was there.” Once the Washington offense got on the board late in the first quarter, Trufant and the Husky defense started to rally. The Washington defense had heard all week how good SU’s defense was, Trufant said. After allowing a quick 10 points, the group got the wake-up call it needed. After Washington quarterback Jake Locker marched the Huskies on an 11-play, 49-yard scoring drive, the Husky defense, huddled together on the sidelines, figured this was the time to pounce. “I just wanted us to settle down,” UW head coach Steve Sarkisian said. “Once we settled down, I knew we would be OK. I was proud of our guys for not panicking.” From that point on, Washington didn’t allow an Orange drive that lasted more than three and a half minutes. On the other side, Locker
just kept doing what we were doing, and it could’ve been 14-0. … I was just trying to be aggressive. That’s my nature when it comes to offense.”
Saturday evening, one of the few bright spots, in Marrone’s eyes, was the play of Smith. Said Marrone: “Defensively, Derrell Smith, I saw him running around hitting some people.”
Smith is lone bright spot for SU defense
This and that
After Syracuse gave up 41 points Saturday, senior defensive captain Derrell Smith took the entirety of the blame for the defense. But Smith, a second-team All-Big East linebacker last season, was hardly the problem. Smith was all over the field Saturday. The senior compiled a team-high 14 tackles, nine of which were solo, and forced a fumble. He was one of the bright spots on an otherwise horrific defensive effort Saturday. “A couple of plays that broke out were missed tackles, and (Washington) were able to score,” Smith said. “Just eliminate the missed tackles — I had a few myself, a couple other people had some — we just need to work on that, and we’ll be better.” Smith leads the team with 19 tackles and 1.5 tackles for loss this season. But Saturday, his performance was overshadowed by the collective poor play of his unit. Yet when Doug Marrone addressed the media
Walk-on freshman place kicker Ross Krautman started for the Orange for the second consecutive week ahead of Ryan Lichtenstein. Krautman finished the game 2-for-3 from field goal range with a long of 37 yards. He was also 2-for-2 on point after attempts. … In the second start of his career, SU quarterback Ryan Nassib finished 17-for-35 for 202 yards and a touchdown. He also ran for 39 yards and a touchdown. … After having a big game against Akron, receiver Van Chew followed it up with another Saturday. He finished with six catches for 83 yards and received some praise from Marrone afterward. … Freshman kick returner Prince-Tyson Gulley returned five kicks for 138 yards Saturday. But his fumble with 6:41 remaining in the first half allowed Washington enough time to score the go-ahead touchdown.
and the Huskies offense grinded out drive after drive, keeping the SU defense on the field for long stretches. Meanwhile, the UW defense stayed well rested. The results were evident. After allowing SU to score on its first two drives, Washington only allowed points on two of the Orange’s remaining 13 drives. “Once we got that fi rst score,” said UW receiver Jermaine Kearse, who tied a singlegame program record with three touchdown catches. “We knew our defense wasn’t going to let (Syracuse) score again. That was it.” The Orange had its opportunities to pull the game within reach, but it couldn’t capitalize. For the second straight week, turnovers prevented SU’s offense from maximizing its full potential. Against the Huskies Saturday, dropped passes also contributed. And each time SU failed to turn drives into points, the Husky offense took advantage of the energy created by its defense. “Our offense and our defense, they just feed off each other,” Trufant said. “Once we saw our guys start scoring, we knew we needed to do our part. We knew they couldn’t do it by

6:41 Second quarter
SU freshman running back Prince-Tyson Gulley fumbles the football on the runback of a kick return. The turnover came immediately following a Washington field goal to bring the Huskies within four at 10-6 and gave the Huskies the ball on the SU 22. The Huskies then took the lead six plays later via a Locker to Kearse touchdown, 13-10.
The Syracuse football team got off to a strong start before travelling to Seattle and suffering a 41-20 loss to Washington Saturday. With head coach Doug Marrone and players filling the air with talk of a bowl for the first time since 2004, time will tell if the talk is valid. Now, this Saturday, SU is looking to get back on track against Maine in its first home game of the season.

themselves.” As Syracuse became unraveled, the sea of purple and gold continued to fuel the fire. Eventually, there was little SU could do to distinguish it. By the time all was said and done, UW had turned an early 10-point deficit into a 21-point victory. And it all came back to that swing of momentum. “Syracuse came out strong,” Kearse said. “But we are the ones who finished.” aljohn@syr.edu

BIG NUMBER The number of unanswered points scored by Washington after Syracuse had built a 10-0 lead in the first quarter.
DRILL UP Ryan Nassib In his first big-game performance, the sophomore quarterback played solidly. He got Syracuse started with a makeshift 28-yard touchdown run, and he finished with more than 200 yards passing. Van Chew For the second consecutive game, Chew displayed that he could be the Orange’s big-play receiver. He caught a career-high six balls for 83 yards, including a 37-yard connection with Nassib in the second quarter. Derrell Smith Smith was the lone bright spot in an otherwise shoddy performance from the Syracuse defense. He had a careerhigh 14 tackles, including nine solo. He also had a forced fumble.
DOWN SU secondary After a week of talk and believing they could stop a Washington offense led by Jake Locker, the secondary went out and laid an egg. At the corner spots and beyond, SU was routinely burned by the Huskies’ receivers. Special teams The unit was a part of perhaps the two most momentous-shifting plays late in the first half. First, Prince-Tyson Gulley fumbled during a kickoff return, leading to a Husky touchdown and their first lead of the game. Then, Ross Krautman missed a potential tying field goal to end the half. Offensive line Rarely did Ryan Nassib have much time to work in the pocket throughout the day. And many of Delone Carter’s lengthier runs came when the game was already in hand. Overall, it was a shaky job by a young unit.
HERO Jermaine Kearse The Husky receiver outshined his Heisman Trophy candidate of a teammate on Saturday, catching a singlegame program record of three touchdowns. Kearse’s three touchdowns came in the span of nine catches and 179 yards receiving.
ZERO Da’Mon Merkerson Syracuse’s No. 1 cornerback gave up too many 25-yard passes to the Husky offense, but more specifically Jermaine Kearse. In a game where the SU secondary had to wrap up on tackles, the senior let several short bubble screens turn into long gains, as he amassed only three tackles – the least for any of SU’s four starters in the secondary. He also failed to record a pass break-up.

Husky offense explodes on SU By Andrew L. John Sports Editor
S
EATTLE — Doug Hogue tried to find the words to explain the frustration. Of course, Jake Locker was a Heisman Trophy candidate. Of course, SU wasn’t expected to win on the West Coast. These were things Hogue and his teammates heard all week. But to get blindsided by two of Washington’s other guys really killed him. Shaking his head outside of the Syracuse locker room after the game, he finally found something to describe the missed opportunities that led to the Washington rout. “Washington played good,” Hogue said. “I thought they came out with a good game plan for us. A lot of times, we shot ourselves in the foot.” Hogue and the Syracuse defense spent the last week focused on Locker. If one player was going to beat Syracuse on Saturday, it sure wasn’t going to be Locker. But with the focus on the Heisman candidate all week, the rest of the

After quick start, complacency on offense ruins Orange By Andrew L. John Sports Editor
SEATTLE — Two drives, two scores. Now breathe. After scoring on its first two possessions and protecting a narrow 10-0 lead early on the road, the Syracuse offense began to exhale. All that talk of being a 13-point underdog was just nonsense. But, instead of going for the jugu-
lar, the Orange took its foot off the gas. The lead was comfortable, so it seemed. Complacency set in. All of a sudden, SU’s bubble began to burst. And just like that, the game’s momentum began to shift, leading to an eventual 41-20 Washington win on Saturday. “We made a lot of mistakes,” SU running back Delone Carter said. “And I feel like we got comfortable,
and that’s when the mistakes started to come.” It was after those two drives, and two scores, that Carter said the complacency set in. “When we saw the 10 up on the board,” Carter said.
