A student will have the chance to open for the producer behind a number of rising alternative rock and hip-hop stars — DJ Steve Aoki — before his Homecoming

DJ Steve Aoki

What: First fall 2010 Bandersnatch Music Series concert Where: Goldstein Auditorium in the Schine Student Center When: Oct. 11, 8 p.m.

How much: $5 for SU and ESF students, $7 for faculty weekend performance.

University Union announced Tuesday that Aoki, producer and DJ, will headline the first fall 2010 concert in the Bandersnatch Music Series. The concert will begin 8 p.m. on Oct. 11 in the Goldstein Auditorium in the Schine Student Center. University Union is bringing Aoki to campus in collaboration with Orange Central 2010, the Homecoming planning committee.

In addition to mixing music, Aoki is the founder of Dim Mak Records, which has launched the careers of Bloc Party, MSTRKRFT and Gossip. Aoki is also an artist and DJ and has recently been collaborating with Kid Cudi, Chiddy Bang and Lil Jon. UU will also be holding a competition for student DJs. The winner will open for Aoki on Oct. 11.

“We’re looking for a unique sound, something a little edgy, something that fits that Aoki vibe,” said Emily Fines, codirector of the Bandersnatch series.

Until Tuesday’s announcement, UU had been keeping the competition and the headlining artist quiet, so they have not yet received any submissions, Fines said.

“I’ve mentioned to a few people that we’re having a student competition, but we’ve been keeping it pretty vague,” she said.

Interested students need to submit a brief paragraph and a sample mix as part of their audition. After the organizers of Bandersnatch judge the submissee bandersnatch page 6

Students push Pakistan fundraising effort

By George Clarke Staff Writer

The flooding that devastated Pakistan over the summer has prompted the founding of a student group focused on disaster relief.

Pakistan Aid

What: Syracuse Cares charity awareness event Where: Grant Auditorium When: Sept. 28 6 p.m.

How much: $8 in advance and $10 at the door Syracuse Cares, a student response to the Pakistan flooding that focuses on disaster awareness and fundraising, is

planning a charity event after collecting donations for the past few weeks. In addition, SU’s Baptist Campus Ministry has been donating money to relief efforts in Pakistan.

“This has received a tremendous following from the day it started,” said Sabith Khan, a member of Syracuse Cares.

The group has been fundraising for Pakistan for the past three weeks and has collected what Khan, a graduate student in the Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs, described as a “modest amount.”

Syracuse Cares is the result of several independent fundraising efforts for flood relief in Pakistan, Khan said.

As each group realized its common purpose, they collaborated with the South Asia Center to create a universitywide platform.

During the flooding, Pakistan International Airlines launched its Life Box program, which encourages donors to create gift aid boxes of high-energy food and liquids to sustain four individuals for two to three days each.

The airline then shipped each see pakistan page 4

A week before moving into Syracuse University, the last thing freshman Evelyn Javier wanted to worry about was bedbugs.

But Javier was living in the Bronx when bedbugs spread around New York City during the summer. The bedbugs were found in places like the basement of the Empire State Building, two Manhattan movie theaters and various clothing stores, such as Abercrombie & Fitch and Hollister.

“I was disgusted because, in the city, everything moves so fast, and I felt like it would travel easily,” said Javier, a pre-med student.

“I’m a commuter, so I thought that I could easily get one of them.”

And while she got ready to back to SU, she worried New York City students would bring the bedbugs back to Syracuse, she said.

With thousands of students living in close quarters, colleges have been taking special measures to prepare for potential bedbug outbreaks. Despite around 40 percent of SU students coming from around New York state, SU has been able to dodge an outbreak since the start of classes.

Bedbug outbreaks in the United States have tripled since 2005, according to the Environmental Protection Agency. New York City had an average of 11,000 incidents of bedbugs last year and 4,084 violations cited, nearly double the amount of the previous year, according to a March 10 article in see bed bugs page 6

Bed bugs Keeping an eye out for bed bugs: • They have a reddish-brown color and oval bodies, comparable in size to an apple seed.

• They hide in box springs, bed frames and cracks of beds.

• Bed bug bites are itchy and red, appearing in a line or cluster on the arms, face, hands or neck.

The Justice Department said Monday the FBI wrongly opened and extended investigations of some U.S. activist groups, according to The Washington Post. Included in those wrongly investigated are members of an environmental advocacy organization who were put on a terrorist watch list, although they were planning nonviolent civil disobedience. A report by Inspector Gen. Glenn Fine cleared the FBI of the most serious allegation it’s facing: They targeted domestic groups based on their practice of First Amendment rights. Congressional Democrats and civil liberties groups said the FBI used such tactics during the George W. Bush administration. The report also said agents investigated people affiliated with activist groups for weak reasons, according to The Washington Post.

Islamic militants face blame for attacks

Tajikistan blamed Islamic militants on Monday for an attack on a military convoy that killed at least 23 soldiers, according to The New York Times.

Some of the militants are suspected to have ties to Afghanistan and Pakistan. But this is not the first time the Tajik government has been concerned about the rise of Islamic militancy, as they’ve long voiced concern about the rise of militancy in the area. Many have accused Emomali Rakhmon, Tajikistan’s president, of using the threat of Islamic militancy to combat disagreement. Despite the accusations, the extent of any involvement by Islamic militants in recent violence is unclear. The assault on the convoy occurred around midday Sunday. Some reports have as many as 40 soldiers killed in the attack, with many more wounded, according to The New York Times.

Speaker to push green lifestyles

By Devon Braunstein Contributing Writer

Environmental justice advocate Majora Carter will explain how going green isn’t a fad reserved for rich people during a speech Wednesday in Hendricks Chapel.

“Green the Ghetto and How Much It Won’t Cost Us” Who: Environmental justice advocate Majora Carter Where: Hendricks Chapel When: Today, 7:30 p.m.

How much: Free

Carter, founder of Sustainable South Bronx, will present the lecture “Green the Ghetto and How Much It Won’t Cost Us” at 7:30 p.m. as the first lecture in the annual University Lecture series.

This year’s lecture series is part of Syracuse University’s push to get students to think about issues relating to the city of Syracuse.

Carter will outline her personal history, including accomplishments and failures, in the field of local economic regeneration, said James Chase, vice president for marketing and communications for the Majora Carter Group and Carter’s husband.

Carter is interested in showing students — tomorrow’s planners, demographers, social workers, engineers or elected officials — how communities of all kinds can work together for a common goal.

She aims to influence citizens to embrace the potential of real community engagement, he said.

“Because her work is pioneering and groundbreaking, she does not expect it to stand on its own,” Chase said. “It is an example to set for others to learn from more than anything else.”

Carter enjoys talking to students because of their flexibility, as they are less set on how things “should” or “can” be done, Chase said. Carter hopes students will take her work and build on it in ways she cannot imagine.

Majora Carter’s grassroots environmentalism and entrepreneurship, which she used to revitalize challenged neighborhoods in the Bronx, are traditional academic strengths at SU, said Esther Gray, special assistant for academic affairs. The similarities see carter page 6

Assembly starts discussing MayFest 2011, holds elections

By Annie Knox Staff Writer

Student Association elected 23 representatives to its general assembly Monday night, filling each available seat in the College of Arts and Sciences and Martin J. Whitman School of Management.

In addition to elections, SA reported its discussions with the Board of

Trustees regarding plans for next year’s MayFest, including a system to provide guest passes for friends of students and recent alumni.

Feedback on last year’s MayFest in Walnut Park showed guest passes were the most requested change for the coming year, said SA President Jon Barnhart.

“If you look at the old MayFest, one

of the draws was having friends come over from other schools, and so we want our new version of MayFest to offer that, as well,” Barnhart said.

Barnhart said it’s too early to tell how Euclid Avenue parties will be handled, but said he believes Mayor Stephanie Miner will maintain her stance on the issue to keep a strict police presence in the neighborhood.

SA also elected three students to University Senate, the governing body of the university, and two to the Finance Board, which recommends funding for the student organizations’ events SA votes on.

Grant boosts School of Education, Kenyan partnership

By Heather Wentz Contributing Writer

To help improve higher education in Africa, Syracuse University received an $860,700 grant to fund its ongoing partnership with Kenyatta University.

The main goal of the partnership between SU and Kenyatta is to provide more resources to Kenyan teachers and develop the teachers at Kenyatta in areas like technology and teacher preparation, said Joanna Masingila, the head of the Kenya partnership and a professor in the School of Education at SU. The program has also provided a means for students from Kenya to

study at SU. Masingila was a Fulbright scholar at Kenyatta in 1998 and has had a close relationship with Kenya since then. In 2000, the School of Education at Kenyatta and the School of Education at SU decided to form a relationship and work together closely. Since the beginning of the relationship between Kenyatta and SU, 14 different Kenyan students have come to SU to get their degrees.

“We’ve been working together since 2000,” she said. “Now it’s just a formal partnership.”

The two schools tried to think of ways to receive funding, but up until

2009 they did all of their research and projects without any kind of financial aid and paid out of pocket, Masingila said.

This partnership, “Building Capacity through Quality Teacher Preparation,” stemmed from the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), Higher Education for Development (HED) and the Association of Public and Land-grant Universities (A-P-L-U). These groups have recently established 11 new partnerships between universities in the United States and Africa, one of which is between Syracuse and Kenyatta.

USAID is active in many different

programs, but one of its main areas is providing support for development in countries worldwide. USAID has been working hand-in-hand with HED and A-P-L-U in the partnerships to provide services and funding for issues outside of higher education worldwide, Masingila said.

“Our focus point is education, but there are many other partnerships that focus on agriculture, business, health — a variety of areas,” Masingila said.

SU was one of 300 U.S. universities to apply for the partnership program.

The application committee at USAID see Kenya page 4

box, which costs approximately $35 in supplies, from designated American airports at no charge.

Khan’s original plan was to raise donations to create Life Boxes and bring them to John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York City. After nine boxes, however, Khan realized it was too challenging to create the boxes and raise the money to support them. Instead, the group turned to the South Asia Center for guidance, Khan said.

The group now splits its donations between Oxfam International, a United Kingdom-based alliance of 14 major organizations, and the Edhi Foundation, a nonprofit social welfare program in Pakistan.

“We’re coming at this with all kinds of perspectives and conditions, but we’re on the same page,” said Emera Bridger Wilson, outreach coordinator of the South Asia Center.

Comparing disasters can be futile, Wilson said, but it may be necessary to comprehend the scope of the Pakistan disaster.

“It’s not just ‘flooding one day, water’s gone the next,’” Wilson said. “Look at the damage Katrina caused. Think about Pakistan, where the number of people affected is most of the population of the United States. If people need a point of comparison, they can look close to home.”

Though none of the members of Syracuse Cares has been personally affected by the

flooding, they feel obliged to assist, Khan said.

Binoy Parvathy, a member of Syracuse Cares and a Maxwell doctoral candidate, said she thinks more undergraduate students could get involved in SyracuseCares’ cause.

Undergraduate students often party at least a few hours per week, so they could probably spare a few of those hours to help, Parvathy said.

Syracuse Cares will hold its first charity and awareness event Sept. 28 at 6 p.m. in the College of Law’s Grant Auditorium. Tickets cost $8 in advanced or $10 at the door.

Speakers include Catherine Bertini, a Maxwell professor and 10-year chief executive of the United Nations World Food Programme, and Tomás Gonzalez, senior assistant dean for student life at SU’s College of Law. Khan said there will also be food and klezmer music, a form of Eastern European folk music.

The group’s challenge is to convey the intricacies and complexities of recovery, while also presenting it as “edutainment” and not lectures, Khan said.

Syracuse Cares is not the only campus group donating time and money to help Pakistan.

Over the past two weeks, SU’s BCM donated its weekly tithe to charity organizations operating in Pakistan, said Jen Saunders, a ministry member. Members sometimes travel to aid humanitarian efforts abroad, she said.

“When you’re in tune with the Lord, you ask for what breaks His heart,” Saunders said, “and this breaks our hearts, too.” geclarke@syr.edu

The money SU has received so far is for travel expenses to and from Kenya, tuition for Kenyan teachers who come to SU to get their doctorate, and overall support for the teachers at Kenyatta. It will also allow more Kenyan students to come to SU in the future.

Masingila said she ultimately hopes to receive funding for the partnership for 10 years.

The selection committee will do an assessment at the end of the second year and see how much more funding is needed.

on both the resources added by the money and how the Kenyan teachers respond to and apply the training, Demment said.

Demment said it is going to take a lot of time, energy and resources to make an impact on the advancement of higher education in Kenya, but he is confident the partnership will be a success.

Watching MTV reality shows provides unique bonding experience

etween a one-hour commute to and from work and a 40-hour-a-week internship at a solar thermal panel manufacturer, my summer was far from actionpacked. I had little fun and a lot of responsibility. So I must thank MTV for Tuesday: “Teen Mom,” Wednesday: “The Real World,” and Thursday: “The Jersey Shore.” Summer 2k10 may not have given me many adventures, but at least MTV gave me one sweet weekday lineup.

In case you couldn’t tell, I’m a MTV junkie. I get it from my dad, who has been a loyal “Real World” viewer since the series premiere in 1992. In fact, every Tuesday through Thursday we’d plop down on the couch for an hour of entertainment.

We would comment on Amber and Gary’s love struggle, cringe at Ryan’s lying habits and laugh at the antics of the cast of “The Jersey Shore.” Even though school has started and my dad and I are approximately 3,000 miles

away from each other, we still make sure to keep each other updated with our opinions about the shows via phone calls, e-mails, text messages — you get the drift.

Even though I consider watching MTV with my dad normal, a lot of people are perplexed by our weekly routine. In fact, when I called my dad last week to remind him a new episode of “The Jersey Shore” was airing before the VMAs, my friend overheard our conversation and confronted me about the so-called weirdness.

I told her MTV reality shows are not only our bonding time, but a platform for discussion. In addition, the shows can be used as educational tools, and thus I believe more parents should take the time to watch these shows with their teens and young adults.

Take “Teen Mom,” for example.

Since the show aired in 2009, there have been many arguments that

heart racing in my skin tight jeans “Teen Mom” is glorifying teen pregnancy. However, most critics with that argument probably have not watched the show. The life of a teen mom is far from glamorous. Not only does the show’s theme scream, “Have protected sex, raising a kid is no walk in the park,” it also offers financial and baby-raising lessons.

In one episode, one of the show’s moms, Farrah, got swindled out of $3,000. My dad and I were sitting on the couch shouting, “You’re an idiot,” as she wired her own money to a fake account after an online scam. Farrah’s mistake reinforced the lesson

Brett LoGiurato Tony Olivero Kirsten Celo Joe Lingeman Danielle Parhizkaran Elliot Kartus Ankur Patankar Luis Rendon Kelly Sullan Jon Harris Laurence Leveille Elora Tocci Michael Cohen Mark Cooper

that it’s important to be careful with online orders — a lesson my dad has told me about, but one that became more slated with a real-life example.

Furthermore, the difficulties of adoption, child support and working while raising a child are shown. As a child of a young mom, I am all too familiar with “the parking lot passoff.” Topics like a parent’s divorce are hard to bring up, but because MTV shows the hardships of separation, the shows serve as a platform for discussion. I was able to find a doorway to talk to my dad about what it was like for him to raise a kid and go through a breakup. Our conversations led me to some major insights about my family and a stronger appreciation for my childhood.

Even if your childhood was more picturesque than those of Bentley, Sophia, Leah or Carly, “Teen Mom” can help break the taboo of having “those” conversations with your parents. So before you criticize the

t h e i n de pe n de n t s t u de n t n e w spa pe r of sy r acuse, new york

Katie McInerney

managing editor

teen moms and call them “fame whores,” perhaps take a second to appreciate them. The blogosphere has been going wild with disapproval of the “Teen Mom” cover stories on Us Weekly and People magazine, but I say let the teen moms receive some payment in exchange for offering life lessons. As evidenced by their financial situations featured on the show, all of them are struggling to make ends meet, with the help of little, if any, stipend from MTV. They are allowing their lives to be taped in hopes that people can learn from them.

Also, watch MTV with your dad.

However, be aware that if he doesn’t like your own nose ring, he’ll take no time bashing the nose ring of the girl in “True Life: I Hate My Face” in front of you.

“We wanted a DJ because we felt we hadn’t done something in that genre in a long time,” Fines said. “We wanted something different.

Having just had Juice Jam, it’s a good contrast with that, as well as our next artist for Bandersnatch.”

Aoki started Dim Mak Records in 1996 after graduating from the University of California at Santa Barbara. His most recent single was done with Will.i.am from The Black Eyed Peas and has gained popularity in the United Kingdom, Fines said.

“We were debating a bunch of artists, but this was the best for what we wanted to do,” Fines said.

“Syracuse Center of Excellence looks to Majora as a thought leader in green jobs and environmental justice issues,” Matthews said.

“In many ways we can connect her work in the Bronx to a model we are working to replicate in neighborhoods in Syracuse, such as the Near Westside.”

Carter has a positive perspective on environmental issues that are usually portrayed in

a negative fashion, said Lisa Ruggero, a senior who views Carter’s outlook as “contagious.”

“She’s extremely inspirational, one of my role models,” Ruggero said. “I’m an environmental communications major, so fighting for environmental justice is very important to me.”

Ruggero said she plans to attend the lecture and hopes the talk will lead more students toward environmental communications.

“I was thinking that there are a lot of city students, and maybe in the move to Syracuse, they would travel along with the new students,” Javier said.

While it may be prominent in New York City, Syracuse has avoided a serious outbreak of the pesky pests. However, bedbugs at a residence on Clarendon Street were reported, according The Bedbug Registry’s website. There have been two incidents of bedbugs at SU in the last five years, said J.D. Tessier, director and zone manager for Housing and Food Services Maintenance. Last year, a girl brought back bedbugs from a hotel.

“We get a few calls each semester with someone suspecting they have bedbugs,” he said. “Unfortunately, you can’t do anything but react.”

Tessier advises students to report anything they suspect could be bedbugs and to keep their mattresses and rooms clean.

Bedbugs are small and reddish and have six legs. A typical bite looks like a small, red swollen area on the skin.

Adam Frank, a junior political science major, said he isn’t particularly worried about an outbreak.

“It just doesn’t seem worth worrying about,” said Frank. “I always try to keep my room clean, change the sheets. That probably helps.”

However, freshman Alex Kessler said he didn’t initially know about the bedbug outbreak in New York City.

“I’m not doing anything now to prevent bedbugs,” said Kessler, a music composition major.

“But now that I know it might come to Syracuse, I will. In the future, I will try to keep my room clean.” cabidwel@syr.edu

Study finds not getting enough sleep may lead to weight gain

S

By Victoria Napoli STAFF WRITER

kimping on sleep may have negative consequences on a person’s waistline, according to a recent study published in the medical journal SLEEP. As part of multiple long-term studies on a group of 240 adolescents, the study explored the relationship between sleep duration and calorie consumption, said Amy Storfer-Isser, one researcher of the study and senior research associate in the Center for Clinical Investigation at Case Western Reserve University in Ohio.

“We found that the people who were sleeping less consumed more calories from fat and less calories from protein or carbohydrates,” Storfer-Isser said.

The study also revealed participants who didn’t sleep as long were more likely to consume a large percentage of their daily calories between 5 a.m. and 7 a.m., Storfer-Isser said.

A week prior to their overnight lab tests, participants were asked to wear an actigraph, a noninvasive device placed on an arm that records sleep patterns and cycles, Storfer-Isser said.

Twenty four-hour food recall reviews were conducted simultaneously and measured how much the participants ate and where their calories were coming from, Storfer-Isser said.

Since the late 1990s, researchers have been following the same adolescent group in a series of three studies — the first when participants

were between ages 8 and 11, the second when participants were between ages 12 and 15, and the most recent when participants were between ages 15 and 19, Storfer-Isser said.

While some physiological studies have shown increased appetite is due to hormone regulation problems or other metabolic disorders, research has yet to indicate whether the relationship between lack of sleep and weight gain is triggered more by physiological or psychological needs, Storfer-Isser said.

“I’m sure it’s a combination of physiological and psychological triggers, but no one is really sure of it,” Storfer-Isser said. “Staying up longer does leave more opportunities for snacking.”

Storfer-Isser said getting enough sleep is important for overall well-being, regardless of impact on weight.

“Insufficient sleep has a lot of health consequences in both the long term and the short term,” she said.

Lynn Brann, assistant professor of nutrition in the College of Human Ecology, said people tend to associate weight gain with food intake and exercise. But sleep plays a role in the obesity epidemic, and there are many reasons lack of sleep leads to increased snacking, she said.

“Some of it could be physiological in that the body might release more cortisol without enough sleep,” Brann said. “The other reason could be stress and boredom, especially with college students. Stress often coincidences with an all-nighter, leading to mindless eating or

illustration by jill stromberg | contributing illustrator drinking.”

Cortisol is the hormone secreted by the adrenal gland during times of stress.

Some students just might not be aware they are consuming more calories, especially when they are tired, Brann said.

“Lack of sleep can lead to those extra pounds over time,” Brann said. “If they aren’t getting enough sleep, then they have to be conscious of what they are putting into their bodies. My recommendation is for students to keep a plan in mind and have healthier alternatives available to them.”

Joyce Kim, junior political science major, said she agrees with Brann and tends to crave foods that are particularly high in fat, sugar and salt content on days when she didn’t get enough sleep the night before.

Brann recommended students keep healthier snacks in their dorm rooms or apartments, rather than heading to the vending machine,

especially late at night.

“It is such a complicated food environment that we live in,” she said. “Part of it is learning to manipulate that environment so that you don’t overeat.” vdnapoli@syr.edu

danielle parhizkaran | asst. photo editor Members of the SU Swing Club refine their technique at Archbold Gymnasium. Dancing to music ranging from contemporary hits like Lady Gaga and classic swing, the club moves with a grace not found on most dance floors. They meet every Tuesday at 7 p.m.

Editor’s Note: For this series, the writers chose a Recreation Services club sport and attended practices with the teams. The stories are based off of their experiences. ith Lady Gaga’s “Poker Face” blasting through the speakers, couples swirl around the dance floor, laughing while trying to keep in step with the music.

No, it’s not 1 a.m. at a Friday night house party. It’s 7 p.m. on a Tuesday night in the exercise room at Archbold Gymnasium, and the SU Swing Club is in, well, full swing. Gaga sets the mood for the West Coast style, allowing dancers to swing with contemporary dancepop hits, including selections from Justin Timberlake and The Black Eyed Peas.

Watch out Stephanie Miner: The number of mayors in Syracuse is growing.

Foursquare, a location-based service launched in March 2009, allows smartphone users to “check in” at their current locations. Users can the daily locate friends, earn orange “badges” based on those check-ins, and get tips and specials for some locations. The person with the most check-ins at a certain location within a 60-day period becomes the mayor of that destination. With pride in mind, users aspire for mayorship, primarily for bragging rights.

Syracuse University recently joined with Foursquare founders to make the application especially useful for SU students. In addition to the university being one of the first to develop a campus-exclusive website with Foursquare, there are new badges to collect for students using the service at SU. Local businesses are also getting involved in the application’s trend. Students can personalize their Syracuse experience through this mobile community and reap exclusive benefits.

The new connection will affect SU students in the near future. For this year’s Orange Central, the university’s annual Homecoming celebration, activities centered on Foursquare will be created, according to a press release. The university will also be offering training sessions for the application’s uses and advantages at another time.

David Rosen, a senior finance and information management technology major, reached out to one of Foursquare’s founders and SU alumnus Dennis Crowley after Rosen realized Harvard University had a brand page on the application while SU did not.

Rosen said he was insulted an SU alumnus neglected to create a Foursquare page for his alma mater.

“I tweeted at him and he instantly responded, connecting with his head of business development, and it took off from there,” Rosen said.

Rosen is currently helping SU manage its Foursquare presence as the application’s official campus representative.

Joshua Fishman, a junior marketing and entrepreneurship and emerging enterprises double major, also helped jump start Foursquare’s increased presence at SU. Fishman worked this past summer with a consumer products company to market the application on and off campus.

Now, it is exciting for him to see the see foursquare page 12

said Leanna Mulvihill, the club’s president. “Sometimes people think it’s cool and fun, other times they just look at me weird.”

While swing dancing may look awkward at a party, the dancers in Archbold make the moves look natural. The older performers, who have been swing dancing since their freshmen year, glide across the floor, spinning and moving around their partners as though they are in front of a sold-out crowd.

“It takes coming pretty regularly to get really comfortable,” said Tara Wilt, the club’s vice president and a junior conservation biology major at the State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry. “But you can pick up the basics in a day, and once you get the hang of it, it’s easy.”

The basic steps are simple. Step on one foot, step on the other, rock

step (stepping back on one foot).

Then comes the spinning, dipping and gliding that separates the tentative beginners from the seasoned swingers.

“It’s contagious,” said Eric Stone, a junior natural history and interpretation major, also at ESF. “People try to overthink it. You just have to come out after a big day of classes and have fun.”

Fun isn’t in short supply at the swing club. The lead dancers, mostly male, line up on one side of the room, and the females line up opposite them. A swing dance speed dating frenzy ensues as each

couple greets one another, dances briefly and then switches partners.

Nervousness melts away as dancers get a feel for the one-two rock step. The music changes from West Coast Gaga to more traditional East Coast swing, playing Benny Goodman’s “Don’t Mean a Thing (If It Ain’t Got That Swing).” The experienced dancers are patient with the new dancers, explaining how to keep tension in their arms and make their steps look graceful.

“It’s great to see people get more confident and not be afraid to dance in public,” said Mulvihill, a junior see swing page 12

As current programs show, television is more important than you would think

W

hen you were a kid, you probably heard about how rotten television was for the brain. Heck, you may still hear it now. I grew up with Nickelodeon cartoons like “Rocko’s Modern Life” and “Hey, Arnold!” Those were shows that didn’t do much beside entertain. You couldn’t learn as much from them as from “Hooked on Phonics” or “Math Blaster,” but they made you and your friends pleasantly sedated.

If you are involved in the entertainment business (heck, I am), don’t be too quick to call your profession unimportant. You may not be saving a life in the emergency room or devel-

pop, lock it, drop it oping any kind of groundbreaking technology, but when people sit down to relax and watch some TV after a hard day’s work, your show

will entertain them. In a lot of ways, TV is important. And with fall TV series finally hitting our living rooms, now is the perfect time to remember that.

Even reality shows that seem as unimportant as that required history class have their positives. Look at a show like ABC’s “Wipeout,” which makes grown people getting beat up by huge, archaic wrecking-ball devices darkly comical. Are we really that sadistic because we like to watch John Doe get whacked in the face by a giant, swirling arm? I don’t think so.

To a kid, “Wipeout” looks like the most fun he or she will ever have. What could be better than a giant playground? I’d go on “Wipeout” in a second and relive my childhood days when I went to Discovery Zone and jumped around in ball pits and swung on monkey bars. Only back in the day, I couldn’t look forward to a cash prize after exiting the ball pit alive.

If someone asks you what you do for a living, and you happen to be a producer for the show, don’t shirk away in embarrassment — say it with pride! It’s good, wholesome fun for the everyday Joe. The construction worker holding the STOP/GO sign all day could probably use some entertainment when he gets home.

And with the fall TV season now underway, how can you not be excited for “Glee”? With witty dialogue and popular tracks, it screams entertainment. And best of all, the season premiere is tonight. You don’t get to watch people try to jump over bouncy balls on this show, but last season, we did get to see glee club members jump around on mattresses, singing

Van Halen’s “Jump.” “Glee” is exuberant, fun and fresh. It takes the performance aspect of “American Idol,” but throws away the reality tag. “American Idol” has been falling out of popular favor a little bit, but “Glee” has taken popular music and coupled it with a delightful cast of characters that make for entertaining TV. The title says it all: This show is meant to bring happiness. How can shows as good and successful as “Glee” be unimportant to our society? It can’t.

Obviously there’s bad stuff on the tube, especially during midday, which is why I found myself watching “The Jersey Shore” reruns this past Sunday afternoon. The MTV hit reality show is not really my cup of tea, but I do find myself watching it out of boredom or a lack of other options. But no one can deny the show’s popularity. Viewers find the cast of “The Jersey Shore” entertaining and amusing. I roll my eyes when Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino shows his abs off at clubs. But hey, he isn’t a boring person — I’ll give him that.

As long as viewers can lose themselves in it, TV will remain engrained in our popular culture. “Wipeout” boasts the dark humor of knocking people around, “Glee” lifts your mood and “The Jersey Shore” sure has some interesting characters. Yes, TV can sometimes be that rot-out-your-brain junk your parents warned you against, but if someone else gets enjoyment out of it, it can’t be all bad.

environmental resources engineering major at ESF. She and Stone both went to a swing club meeting their freshman year out of curiosity and fell in love with the dance style.

But Stone’s passion for the dance came years earlier, thanks to a Gap clothing commercial, of all inspirations.

“It’s such a stress reliever,” he said. “It’s the most relaxing part of my week.”

Although Mulvihill and Stone never had formal dance training before trying swing, some students who have been dancing all their lives welcome the change of pace the style brings.

“I wanted to do something other than ballet,” Wilt said. “I liked the idea of dancing with someone else, so I gave it a try. Now I absolutely love it.”

Unlike the practiced routines and demands of styles like ballet, swing dancing is looser and allows more room for the dancers to choose their own moves. The style is so expressive that smiling, whether dancing or watching, is a natural tendency.

product from a student’s perspective, he said.

“I love it on campus because I’m in the Whitman school, and I spend most of my day there,” Fishman said. “I am the mayor of Whitman, so I might go there one night instead of the library to study.”

Foursquare membership is growing 1 percent every day and will soon be as commonly used as Facebook, Fishman said.

Local businesses have gradually been joining the Foursquare community, allowing both the customer and the business to learn more about the other.

A lot of large corporations are just beginning to integrate Foursquare into their business models but smaller, locally-owned businesses are further behind on the trend, Rosen said. He said he wants to help businesses join the application and claim their venues to offer special promotions to Foursquare users through connections.

Businesses can obtain valuable statistics about their users upon joining.

Though many locally-owned businesses along Marshall Street do not offer specials through the application, locations like Manny’s and Varsity Pizza offer check-in opportunities.

“I think if more people that owned the businesses knew about it, it would be really benefi-

“People are fascinated when they watch swing dance,” Stone said. “That’s my favorite part, bringing it outside the club and watching people’s reactions.”

The club members also go into the community to dance, attending swing nights at the Saint Clare Theater on North Townsend Street on Thursday nights. “It’s a great way to mix it up and dance with new people,” Mulvihill said.

Whether the dancers paired with strangers or old friends seemed irrelevant; long-harbored and budding passions bloomed in the exercise room. Before the practice concluded, all the dancers formed a circle in a game called “Snowball.” Two people began dancing in the middle of the circle, and the rest of the circle broke off into pairs to dance, choosing their own moves and laughing as they twirled freely around the room.

After the meeting was over and most of the dancers left, Stone stopped and sighed. As he picked up his backpack, he turned to Mulvihill and Wilt with one question in mind.

“Don’t we have time for one more dance?” ertocci@ syr.edu

cial,” said Noah Silverstein, a sophomore English and textual studies major.

While campus specials may be few in number, the tips are plentiful.

“Much of the power of Foursquare is all about tips, bits of information that others have left at venues,” Rosen said. “When someone is following SU on Foursquare, they will have our tips pushed to them when they check in near a venue we have chosen.”

Fishman found himself wanting to use this tip-seeking feature when ordering at Slider’s Burgers & Belgian Fries on Marshall Street for the first time.

“I went there, and I didn’t really know what I wanted to eat,” Fishman said. “If one of my friends left a tip, they could suggest something to order if one of my friends had eaten there before.”

Silverstein, a BlackBerry user, said he would use the service if it was more widely recognized throughout the university. “Right now, it is kind of an extraneous accessory on the Internet, kind of like Farmville,” he said.

Jayme Brown, a sophomore writing major, does not have a smartphone, but thinks the application would be useful if all of her friends use it.

Said Brown: “Once I get a smartphone, I’m going to walk by the Flint stairs every day and check in.” dafalcon@syr.edu

have come through here,” Nassib said. “I am extremely humbled and grateful.”

As for this season, Marrone said the way the Orange is judging and operating its rushing attack comes down to situations. Thus far this year, Marrone said, most of those situations have been planned to be negated by opponents.

And when delving further into those situations, SU’s running game comes down to three things: force, support and leverage.

In those certain three-pronged situations Saturday, Maine planned against Carter. As a result, Marrone said, SU didn’t try to force the idea. The Orange took what was given, even if it may now be maturing into SU’s greatest offensive strength.

“If the team is giving you the ability to throw the football, why put your ego into it and try to force something that isn’t there?” Marrone said.

“If I have to pass to set up the run, I have to be able to do that. You have to have balance, and I’ve always talked about that from an offensive standpoint, we have to have balance in what we do.”

Marrone, in his own words, doesn’t want to “pound his head against the wall.” The odds he was given Saturday running the ball against Maine were odds he wasn’t happy with. So he threw the ball 29 times and rushed a combined 26 times — just 15 tries for Carter.

But now the odds that Ryan Nassib will be able to carry his offense are apparently growing vastly. Maybe even exponentially since the beginning of the season.

And Marrone is OK with that. It may just become his perfect world with a quarterback that is quickly becoming Marrone’s ideal gunslinger and ideal team leader.

“Yes, he was very productive with the touchdown passes,” Marrone said. ”But what I look at is his footwork, and his progressions are getting better and better. We’ve only touched the surface of how good he could be.” aolivero@syr.edu

bridget streeter | photo editor DOUG MARRONE is happy with the play of quarterback Ryan Nassib through SU’s first three games. With Nassib tossing five touchdown passes Saturday against Maine, Marrone said that he has “only touched the surface of how good he could be.”

LEADER OF THE PACK… ALMOST Ryan Nassib has ascended as one of the premier quarterbacks in the Big East. He is first in the conference with eight touchdowns, as he has become the mainstay of the SU offense: PLAYER

Syracuse remains focused, confident with challenge looming

By Carron J. Phillips Staff Writer

Forrest Misenti just wanted to get out and run again. It had been too long.

A stress fracture kept him sidelined through much of the past winter and spring, meaning he had a lot of rust to shake off this fall. “(The stress fracture) kept me out for 11 weeks,” said Misenti, a sophomore. “I hadn’t done much racing ever since cross country of last year, so I just wanted to get the feel for things and run with my team again.”

Although Misenti and his teammates won’t be challenged until Oct. 2 in the Wisconsin Adidas Interregional, they are still making the most of these early-season meets. The goal for this year is to repeat as Big East champions, and every meet can help the team prepare for the ultimate goal. From now until that first weekend in October, the goal is to keep pushing — using a regimen that brought them success a year ago.

“We’ll probably bring our mileage back up for the next week,” freshman Sean Keefe said. “We’re going to get a good week of training because Wisconsin is a big focus for us. That’s really when our season kind of starts.”

This past weekend at the Colgate Invitational, each of the top six finishers wore orange.

crossed the finish line within 11 seconds of each other.

After last year’s championship season, and after a strong 2-0 start to the 2010 campaign, the name “Syracuse” has escalated in the world of college cross country.

“We weren’t even ranked last year when we ran at Wisconsin,” head coach Chris Fox said. “I think we snuck up on people, but we won’t sneak up on anybody this time. … I think we are more of a target this time.”

Excluding last year’s NCAA championship, the team hasn’t lost since Oct. 17, 2009.

But to maintain their high level of success, the runners have to take these opening few weeks seriously. Every day is a chance to keep working hard and get ready for meets like the one in Wisconsin.

“There is plenty of motivation for the Wisconsin meet,” said Fox. “We will work really hard

this week because this is a big week of work, and then next week we will not train hard and rest.

Rest indicates a big meet.”

With the way the schedule is set up, the team will get a week off before it travels to Wisconsin on the first weekend of October.

Most of the runners have been using the previous two meets as tuneups for this particular race. From that meet on, every race matters.

Fox plans to keep his team mentally focused on the upcoming trip and wants to make sure his training regimen is set. There is no place for complacency to slip in.

That’s exactly the mindset the team needs to have as it looks to continue to make a name for itself in the national rankings.

“We won in Wisconsin last year,” Keefe said.

“So that’s definitely our goal to go back and repeat.”

In 1st year, McCabe fills void, helps Orange to unbeaten mark

By Chris Iseman Staff Writer

Coming into the season, Lindsay McCabe didn’t have any expectations for herself. But she did have goals, and so far, she has done more than meet them.

One of those goals was to play an influential role immediately after taking the court for the first time this season as a freshman.

“I’m really happy with the way I’m doing so far,” McCabe said. “It was a goal of mine, not really an expectation.”

McCabe has stepped into the starting role at middle blocker and has been a key component of the Orange’s 16-0 start. In just her first season at SU, McCabe leads the

team in attack percentage (.448) and is third in kills (93).

Even beyond her performance on the court, her teammates and coaches have been more impressed with her ability to stay consistent at all times.

“She’s not a real up-and-down player, which is nice to have from anyone on the court,” SU assistant coach Carol LaMarche said. “And then to have it be a middle is even better. I think she’s doing well.”

And she started doing well at the first possible opportunity.

Before even coming back to Syracuse for the home opener, McCabe was already getting attention for a strong showing at the Colgate Clas-

Outlook

Syracuse volleyball continued to build on its undefeated record, improving to 16-0 over the weekend after wins over Louisiana-Monroe, Duquesne and Kent State. The three wins at the Kent State/ Mizuno Open Tournament helped the Orange extend its best start in program history. SU also won all of its regular season tournaments for the first time. Noemie Lefebvre and Mindy Stanislovaitis earned All-Tournament honors. The Orange begins its Big East schedule on Friday, when travels to Georgetown.

sic. In her first collegiate tournament, McCabe made her presence felt with 25 kills.

McCabe said she was nervous. But she put aside any of that nervousness and showed her teammates they have a reliable middle to set up for.

McCabe didn’t stop there.

She received all-tournament honors at the Fordham Tournament, where she put up a .527 attack percentage. This performance earned her Big East Player of the Week honors.

Possibly even more impressive than her actual performance on the court has been her ability to maintain her composure, whether she’s playing well or not. Something many freshmen aren’t able to do.

“I would say that she’s a less emotional player than a lot of them,” outside hitter Mindy Stanislovaitis said. “She plays a more consistent game straight across.”

Even though McCabe said she doesn’t think of it too much, she almost had to play this well.

Especially since she’s taking over for an offensive threat in Sarah Morton, who graduated in May. Before getting started with the Orange, McCabe didn’t have any apprehension of trying to fill the shoes of someone who meant as much to the team as Morton did. If anything, it gave her a more concrete goal. She saw an opening, and she would be the one to step up and take it.

“With Sarah Morton graduating, there was definitely an opening in the middle,” McCabe said. “There was a good chance, but I still had to prove myself once I got here.”

“I think it was a good confidence booster for the team. They were able to say ‘Sarah Morton is gone, but we have Lindsay McCabe.’”

Carol LaMarche

su assistant coach

She’s proven she’s more than capable of taking the spot. And to this point, McCabe hasn’t given in to any pressure of having to fill the void.

And that performance at the Colgate Classic did more than just show everyone what type of player Syracuse has at the middle blocker position. It also let everyone know that not having Morton isn’t going to be a problem.

“I think it was a good confidence booster for the team,” LaMarche said. “They were able to say ‘Sarah Morton is gone, but we have Lindsay McCabe.’”

Lofty expectations, no doubt, but the Orange coaching staff knows what McCabe needs to do to make that happen.

“Honestly, I think she’s probably starting her freshman year better than Sarah Morton did,” LaMarche said. “And when she develops her arm swing a little more, I think she’s going to be dominant.” cjiseman@syr.edu

McIntyre brings changes to SU, veterans learn to adapt

By Allison Guggenheimer Staff Writer

Sixty feet. That’s how the soccer team thinks of itself. Thirty players and 60 feet.

Last year’s team did not view itself so simplistically. It was mired in team politics about the firing of former head coach Dean Foti.

Players became more concerned with personal disagreements and less concerned with this simple number.

But this year, all that really matters are those feet and what they do on the field.

Of those 30 players, only 10 were on the team last year to notice the changes that have occurred since Foti was released and new head coach Ian McIntyre was hired. The veterans have embraced the new players and the changes that came with McIntyre’s coaching.

“It can be a little bit awkward when you’re returning and you see the number of new faces in the locker room exceeds those of the returners,” McIntyre said. “But the older guys are leading by example. I refer to them as the cultural architects of our program. They set the standard, and ultimately they’re the leaders of the group.”

The most obvious change is in the playing style. McIntyre tried out a couple of formations, but for now has settled on a 4-5-1, which fosters an attacking style of play. In this formation, there is only one defensive midfielder, said senior forward L.J. Papaleo. Last year, there were two. This allows more players to push forward, leaving only five field players and a goalie behind to defend.

Last year, the team played a possession game, keeping the ball in its own half and advancing little by little. For most of the returnees, the adjustments have been minimal. Senior midfielder Geoff Lytle said he does not feel he has had to make any changes to this style of play.

But Papaleo has had to get used to receiving the

ball up top instead of having it going through the midfield.

“There’s more playing direct,” Papaleo said.

“I’m more the point man. I hold up the ball, lay it off to a midfielder. Whereas last year, it was more play the ball through to me, and I’d run on to it.”

Aside from changes on the field, the 10 returnees have encountered changes in the chemistry of the team, as well. In fact, Lytle said team chemistry was the biggest difference this year.

As old and new players have gotten to know each other, integration has not been a problem.

“In the locker room, everyone talks to everyone,” Papaleo said. “Last year there were cliques, and that kind of brought our team down. Everyone’s just one unit together.”

Starting over the summer, the veterans reached out to the newcomers by sending them letters and e-mails. Sophomore goalkeeper Ryan Jones helped organize the communication. Federico Agreda, a forward who transferred from Garden City Community College, was one of the recipients. Agreda said he found the information helpful upon his arrival at Syracuse.

“It said (things) about the life here,” he said.

“To keep yourself away from the trouble, the parties, the drinking. How to manage your time, especially because there are so many people here. And control yourself, because we’re part of a team here.”

This team’s slogan for the year is “Maximum effort is the minimum requirement.” This saying comes from McIntyre, and so does the motivation to live by it. Whether it was the advice in Jones’ letters or an atmosphere formed during preseason, Lytle said the team has taken the saying to heart this year. Last year, it might have just been a slogan.

So 60 feet, all clad in laced-up cleats with Nike socks, walk on to the field as the SU soccer team.

There is no telling which players were there last year and which are just getting used to the grass of the SU Soccer Stadium.

There is just one obstacle left for the return-

ers to overcome.

Said Lytle: “The hardest part would be understanding the new guys from Sweden.” alguggen@syr.edu

different reason. Befort hopes it ends with a completely different outcome: Syracuse Orange, 2010 NCAA field hockey national champions.

But whatever the memories of this season become, it all starts with what happened this offseason. An offseason that started the second Befort realized the 2009 season, the season she already knows she will never forget, was over.

Said Befort: “It was really disappointing, and we never wanted to feel that way again.”

••• The feeling that enveloped Befort and the 2009 Syracuse field hockey team was one of a stunted season for a team initially ranked No. 3 in the country. But the immediate feeling of a sudden end to a season instantly became one of needed growth, Befort and teammates said.

With the departure of only two part-time starters, the Orange knew it would have almost the entirety of its team back. Eighteen players and 10 starters from a year ago began another year, with another chance to compete for a national championship.

The stunted finish to the 2009 season became immediate growth for 2010, the year Befort and her four fellow senior starters — Lindsey Conrad, Kim Coyle, Kristin Girouard and Shelby Schraden — knew they would ultimately be remembered for.

“We had the attitude, going into the spring season, that we were going to grow,” Befort said.

Seven of the 11 starters from the 2008 team who went to the final four are no longer freshmen and sophomores. Those players turned into juniors and seniors after the loss to the Tigers, making this offseason their last chance to prepare for a national championship together.

And the team’s younger players, including sophomore back Iona Holloway, realize the importance of the relationship between the team’s greatest luxury: those seasoned juniors and seniors.

Holloway, a native of Glasgow, finally gets it, through the seniors. She gets what the last three years have been about. She gets what this season is about. She gets how tough that second half to Princeton really was.

sep t ember 21, 2 010

She gets why Befort needs to take a deep breath when recalling the details from that second half.

She gets the burden on these seniors.

“We have so much respect for the seniors in seeing how much work they have done to get where they are. We are really excited to play with them and for them, because after being here for a year, I think I finally understand the whole national championship stuff.”

••• It’s “stuff” that has been the monkey on SU head coach Ange Bradley and the upperclassmen’s collective back since the majority of campus finally took real notice of the Syracuse field hockey program. A national championship has been expected of this group since Oct. 14, 2008: the day the Orange became the No. 1 team in the nation.

But since Oct. 14, 2008, no one has expected that national championship more than Bradley, the seniors and the juniors, themselves.

With that goal in mind, Nov. 15, 2009, was the lowest point for Bradley in her quest to win a national championship with the five seniors whose rise has paralleled that of the program. That of Bradley. She said after the loss to Princeton, the team didn’t rush right into the offseason. The Orange took some time off to relax and reflect on the season and come into the spring ready for hard work. And once spring practice rolled around, Bradley decided it would be best for her players to partake in a practice they hadn’t in 2009.

With it came the incubation for the growth.

During the spring of the 2007 and 2008 seasons, Bradley had her players play indoor field hockey in the Women’s Building. The main difference between indoor hockey and outdoor hockey is speed of the game, Bradley said.

Last year the coach said she chose to not play indoors, but decided it would be best for her team to play inside again this year.

With speed of the game in mind, SU wanted to get faster. Yes, faster, even if Bradley and the 2008 and 2009 editions of her team were already known as, perhaps, the fastest teams in the country.

With the incubation of SU’s breakneck speed inside the cramped Women’s Building came the 2010 edition of SU field hockey. An edition Bradley hopes is even faster, even more hectic for opponents to deal with. But skilled, as well.

“Basically, you play five players with a goal-

keeper and you put up boards,” Bradley said.

“It’s a lot of repositioning, and you can’t lift the ball, so you got to rely on your skills.”

Alongside the further development of the team’s trademark playing style came other avenues for change, as well. SU played two other off-season scrimmages. One of the games was ordinary, a friendly match against the Delaware alumni. The other: against a men’s team from Washington, D.C. “When you play against men, you are playing against higher speed and stronger,” Bradley said. “So you have to think differently.”

••• But, the Orange’s off-season competition wasn’t limited to the bevy of unorthodox spring sessions. The growth infiltrated and overtook the USA Field Hockey National Training Center at Virginia Beach, Va. But it started with Syracuse taking over Pennsylvania.

Eight players from the SU squad went on to play as part of one of the teams in the 2010 Women’s National Championship in Virginia Beach, Va. The Pennsylvania squad — that Bradley was an assistant coach for — had the most Orange presence. Befort, Conrad, junior midfielder Nicole Nelson and junior forward Heather Susek were all members of the team.

Senior forward Shelby Schraden and sophomore Kelsey Millman played for the Pennsylvania Junior team that won gold. SU assistant coaches Lynn Farquhar and Guy Cathro were coaches on the team.

In terms of medals, SU was the most decorated team at the event, and SU sophomore goalie Leann Stiver — who was a member of the North senior team — said it was a great chance to get to know her Syracuse competition.

“Each of us took little things from different teams,” Stiver said. “Like ‘Oh, I know how we are going to beat them next year.’ I found out how they operate.”

In addition to the eight players participating in the Women’s National Championship, three players honed their skills abroad. Sophomore back Amy Kee and Holloway played on a club team in Germany together, while junior forward Martina Loncarica played in her native Argentina.

Some of the team was together. Some of the

17

team was separate. But after the ripening of the team’s playing style in the spring came lessons learned for 2010. Alien situations for the players abroad, but situations they are hoping will get this team over the hump, the burden.

The “national championship stuff.”

“We were having to follow these massive German girls all over the field,” Holloway said “Wherever they went, we would just follow them, which is not like having played here.”

••• Loncarica — the native of Buenos Aires, the spark plug to the SU offense for the past two years, the ball-hawking presence on most Syracuse attacks — followed Holloway and Kee all the way to Amsterdam.

From Argentina to Amsterdam came Loncarica and the in-person talk. While walking the streets of Amsterdam, the teammates reflected, pondered and forecasted.

Then they sat down. And that talk, the talk that had dominated Facebook via pictures from Germany and Virginia Beach all summer, was discussed.

“I can just remember having these conversations about what we were going to do to win the national championships,” Holloway said.

The burden, and all the team had done to alleviate that burden, was looked into.

Commiserating in Amsterdam, the hopes and dreams that started after a loss to Princeton were still days and miles away, in the distance.

But they were brought to the surface. And the trio pinpointed the burden and what it will take to alleviate it.

They were not in search of anything. They discussed the something.

With nine regular season games remaining, it remains to be seen if that monkey will no longer linger every time SU takes the AstroTurf to practice at J.S. Coyne Field.

It remains to be seen if the something, the something Befort was scanning the distance for Wednesday behind Coyne Field, will become a national championship.

Said Holloway: “We were all getting goose bumps from just talking about it. It’s those certain moments when you’re with you’re best friends from the team and just thinking, ‘We can actually do this.’” rwmarfur@syr.edu

aggie Befort swears she doesn’t want to forget how the 2009 field hockey season ended. The loss causes the permanent, trademark smile on Befort’s face to dissipate on the spot.

The mere mention of the 7-3 loss to Syracuse’s rival Princeton causes Befort’s beaming eyes to immediately wander, wanting to seemingly focus on something detached, isolated in the distance. Something that could never remind Befort of the

end of the 2009 season. Even if she vows she never wants to forget it.

At the mention of the 2009 season before practice Wednesday, Befort was in search of something.

“When we lost to Princeton,” Befort said with a pause, exhaling deeply, “We walked away from the fields thinking, ‘Did that really just happen to us?’”

What happened was one of the worst halves in SU field hockey history. The Syracuse back walked out onto that field against Princeton with a 3-2 halftime lead

and only 35 minutes separating her team from a third-round game in the NCAA tournament. The Tigers went on to score five goals in the second half and sent the Orange packing with a 7-3 defeat.

Now as No. 8 Syracuse (5-3) returns home after six straight games on the road, including yet another loss to Princeton, the Orange embarks on the last half of its season with a similar goal in mind to Befort’s.

Marrone content with Syracuse offense hinging on Nassib

By Tony Olivero Asst. Sports Editor

In his perfect world, Doug Marrone would like to set up the pass with the run. Scampers through gaping Justin Pugh-plowed holes 30-yards downfield from Delone Carter would, ideally, open up 50-yard bombs from Ryan Nassib to Van Chew.

But on Monday, Marrone acknowledged the obvious and cleared up any confusion. And he did it while also

going with what has been the flow for the Syracuse (2-1) offense through its first three games. That flow: exceptional play from the first-year starter Nassib creating the initial openings for the SU offense. The most clear example of that coming with Nassib’s SU record five touchdown passes in Saturday’s 38-14 victory over Maine.

So, no, it doesn’t have to start with the running game. It’s going to start with whatever is working best for
