Tolley classes relocate after pipe bursts, flood

By Dara McBride Asst. News Editor

Classes on the first and second floors at the Tolley Administration Building have been relocated until further notice after a water main break Monday morning damaged the floors.

During repairs to a sprinkler system, a fixture on the line broke, causing water damage to a basement classroom and offices, said Sara Miller, Syracuse University spokes-

woman, in e-mail.

The university is in the process of cleaning and restoring the damaged areas, and classes and offices are moved to other campus locations until Tolley is restored to its original condition, Miller said. She said much of the class and office area of Tolley went unaffected.

There was a leaky pipe running through a second floor office that was

Panel cites struggles to unite North, South Korea

By George Clarke Staff Writer

Sixty years after the Korean War armistice split Korea in half, ways to reunite the divided nation were discussed in a daylong conference at Syracuse University.

“U.S. Policy toward North Korea: Assumptions Untested or Unproved,” held in Eggers Hall on Monday, focused on the need for all parties to come to the negotiation table and leave their Cold War conclusions behind. The workshop is the inaugural event of the Korean Peninsula

workshop’s two sequences.

Donald Gregg, who served as the U.S. ambassador to Korea from 1989 to 1993, was the panel’s keynote speaker. Gregg spoke about how American negotiators in Seoul failed to agree Thursday on a new trade pact. He said this leaves delays and disputes that prove relations between the United States and the Korean Peninsula are an ongoing challenge.

“Things are very much in flux,” Gregg said.

Each speaker was limited to 10 minutes of presentation, followed by five minutes of panel discussion and a Q-and-A session at the end of the

tus of Korean studies at Columbia University, presented after Gregg.

Ledyard, best known for his research on the history of the Korean alphabet, called Hangul, recalled America’s long history of divisions with Korea, most of which, he said, were provoked by America.

Ledyard said Korea was split along the 38th parallel in the Korean

War armistice because the U.S. Department of State, then under Secretary of State Dean Acheson, did not know Korea’s provincial borders.

“Here we had a country that had been united for 1,300 years … and survived in unity until Aug. 11, 1950, because the State Department couldn’t find a map,” he said.

Cultural issues, such as the mourning of a North Korean leader’s death, are part of what maintain a gap between the United States and Korea, Ledyard said. When he died in 1994, Kim Il Sung was mourned in the tradition of ancient Korean kings, for whom the nation grieved for two and a half years, he said.

When he signed the guestbook at an event with North Korean delegates in the late 1990s, Ledyard witnessed the mourning himself.

“Everyone there was physically in tears,” he said. “This is not something that could be put on or acted.

It’s hard to lay too much emphasis on that.”

The United States has difficulty negotiating with Korea because the public recollection of history in Korea is longer and the wounds deepsee north korea page 7

FDA to act on alcoholic energy drinks

Law enforcement officials in several states said the Food and Drug Administration is anticipated to take a stance on alcoholic energy drinks as early as Wednesday, according to The New York Times. The FDA didn’t say what position it would take regarding the controversial drinks, but many food safety lawyers who used to work for the administration said a common option would be to use warning letters to tell the manufactures that their drinks are not safe.

Four Loko, the top-selling alcoholic energy drink, has been blamed for many deaths over the last couple of months. During that period, the drink had spread to all but three states. This past weekend, New York’s largest beer distributors agreed to stop delivering caffeinated alcoholic drinks by Dec. 10. Despite the expected action by the FDA, some officials, such as Richard Blumenthal, criticized the agency for not performing the review sooner. Blumenthal, the attorney general in Connecticut, told The New York Times: “To be very blunt, there’s just no excuse for the delay in applying standards that clearly should bar this kind of witch’s brew.”

Bill could develop student services fund

By Michael Boren Asst. News Editor

Student Association President Jon Barnhart introduced a bill at Monday night’s meeting that would allow SA to help fund more student services, such as bus trips to away basketball games or political rallies.

Under the proposal, SA would receive 2.5 percent of the total student activity fee at the beginning of the next fiscal year and keep that money in what is called the student advancement fund. SA would pay for certain events from this fund and get back however much it spent the previous year. The advancement fund would be independent of SA’s operating budget.

“It’s really for student services as they become needed,” Barnhart said.

SA needs extra money ranging from $100 to $1,000 to start programs in many situations, such as when SA proposed a bus to transport students to Wegmans and Target from campus this year, Barnhart said.

“If we had this fund, we’d be able to implement this right off the bat,” Barnhart said.

The advancement fund would probably be used for one-time things, he said. He gave the example of funding transportation to the October Washington, D.C., rally with Stephen Colbert and Jon Stewart.

“It’s one of those things that’s only going to happen really, really rarely in our history,” Barnhart said.

The advancement fund could help bring to campus a carpooling program called RideShark, which

allows people to sign up for carpools by showing them who is driving where and when, he said.

SA members will vote on the proposed bill at their next meeting. If the bill passes, it will go into effect for the next academic year. The student activity fee is $185 and it rises with inflation each year, Barnhart said. The advancement fund would never go above 2.5 percent of the student activity fee, he said.

Barnhart also recapped voting numbers for last week’s SA elections, in which Neal Casey won the presidential position and Jeff Rickert won the comptroller position.

Both were unopposed.

LSU adopts Whitman’s program to train veterans as entrepreneurs Asst. News Editor

The Martin J. Whitman School of Management’s Entrepreneurship Bootcamp for Veterans with Disabilities expanded to a seventh university.

Syracuse University announced the expansion to E.J. Ourso College of Business at Louisiana State University. SU also received $2.6 million from the U.S. Small Business Administration to Whitman to fund new entrepreneurship programs for women veterans and guard and reserve families last week, said Ray Toenniessen, national managing director of the EBV program.

The co-founder and president of Engineers Without Borders in the United States will discuss rebuilding Haiti and his work on a clean water system in Belize for the last University Lecture of the semester.

Bernard Amadei will Who: Co-founder present “Engiand president of neering for U.S. Engineers the DevelopWithout Borders ing World: Where: Hendricks From Crisis to Chapel When: Today, 7:30 Development” p.m. in Hendricks How much: Free Chapel at 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday. The lecture is also part of the Syracuse Symposium series of lectures and presentations, which this semester is based on the idea of “Conflict: Peace and War.” “Dr. Amadei has worked extensively in developing countries. He was specifically asked to speak about how a country rebuilds after devastating catastrophe,” said Esther Gray, special assistant for academic affairs.

Amadei, a professor of civil engineering at University of Colorado at Boulder, worked with students to install a sustainable, clean water system in a town in Belize in 2001.

He was a co-recipient of the Heinz Foundation Award for the Environment in 2007 and won the Engineering News Record Award of Excellence in 2008. He is the faculty director of the Mortenson Center in Engineering for Developing Communities at Colorado. Amadei is currently working on his upcoming book, “Engineering With Soul.”

Amadei will discuss his work in Belize, but will speak mainly about what needs to be done with engineering and architecture to rebuild Haiti after the January earthquake that leveled portions of the country, Gray said.

“Dr. Amadei’s presentation will attract mostly engineers, but also those who work in developing countries, whether with people or with the infrastructure. It all is interconnected,” she said.

Engineers Without Borders is a nongovernmental organization that works in underdeveloped countries to improve living conditions through engineering, according to the Engineers Without Borders website. Student and professional engineers have helped build a health clinic in Peru and plan to help with infrastructure see amadei page 6

The LSU program received its funding Monday for the first two years of operation.

The EBV program, founded at SU in 2007, offers programs and training in entrepreneurship and small business management to members of the military who became disabled while serving in operations Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan and Iraqi Freedom. The program is provided without any cost to veterans.

One of the new programs at SU, Operation Endure and Grow, will be an eight-week online training program for National Guard and Reserve members, their families and

business partners. Toenniessen said it would be important for families to know how to run a family business should they need to step up in a veteran’s place.

The second new program, Women Veterans Igniting the Spirit of Entrepreneurship, will be a three-day conference to provide online training and support for post-military women to become successful entrepreneurs.

The conference will be held in seven different U.S. cities over 18 months beginning in May. EBV programs are also running at University of California Los Angeles’ Anderson School of Management,

Florida State University’s College of Business, Texas A&M University’s Mays Business School, Purdue University’s Krannert School of Management and the University of Connecticut’s School of Business.

When a school is interested in joining the EBV program, it must participate in a yearlong process, Toenniessen said. LSU will plan events during the winter, when other EBV programs are not currently offered.

“The most important aspect is trying to do the right thing for the veterans,” Toenniessen said. “Sure, it’s great that they are a top notch see entrepreneurs page 6

Hydrofracking presents short-term solution with long-term consequences

ast week, the International Energy Agency released its annual report, which noted that peak oil — that point in which conventional oil reserves have been fully tapped and production will begin to decline in the coming decades — came and went around 2006, at about 70 million barrels of oil a day. This is the point of no return, where the economics of dirty energy becomes entirely unsustainable for even the short-term forecast of energy demands. This news should compel all responsible governments to start planning

for a green future.

Instead, we are seeing a rise in unconventional practices, such as hydrofracking, here in New York state. Not only could this contaminate our drinking water, but it also gives natural gas developers a competitive advantage at the public’s expense.

Hydrofracking helps natural gas developers easily collect the natural gas deposits found in shale. It’s a process by which millions of gallons of water and other usually undisclosed chemicals are pumped into a drill bore to fracture the

give green a chance shale blocking a natural gas deposit. Currently, New York state has two such large-scale shale formations that can be exploited for natural gas deposits: the Marcellus Shale at about 600 miles long, extending from Tennessee to Central New York, and the Utica Shale that extends into both Canada and Ohio.

Natural gas is a fossil fuel and contributes to climate change. Now it’s true that per joule of energy, natural gas is cleaner than both coal and oil. But in absolute terms, natural gas is a more powerful greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide. It tends to be released in smaller quantities but still poses a threat to our atmosphere.

The Obama administration even seems to think it’s a valid source of energy that should be exploited. It isn’t, and we shouldn’t. Natural gas development is a very poor bandage for our country’s dangerously irresponsible energy policy.

Even though the process produces millions of gallons of contaminated water, it’s entirely excluded from the Safe Drinking Water Act because energy developers lobbied for exclusion in the Energy Policy Act of 2005. The environmental concerns are two-fold: the undisclosed chemicals that may unwittingly be found in underwater aquifers and contaminate drinking

water and the unneeded benefits afforded to developers of dirty energy by allowing such unregulated practices.

The legality of hydrofracking and the future of New York state’s energy portfolio were largely ignored during the recent gubernatorial race, except in Green Party candidate Howie Hawkins’ campaign. Andrew Cuomo has said of natural gas, “Development needs to be highly sensitive to environmental concerns.”

While it’s admirable that his administration plans to be “highly sensitive,” it is nonetheless disconcerting that he was unable to say it is a demonstrably bad practice that contaminates groundwater with unknown chemicals and that it should be outlawed until proven environmentally safe.

Cuomo will need to address these concerns.

The energy portfolio of this state is one of the most progressive in the country. There are a number of wind farms in the development stage that could produce hundreds of megawatts of energy. That’s enough to shut down coal processing plants and start the shift from the dirty electricity of the past to the green power of the future.

The creation of a sustainable energy platform is the single greatest challenge for both the United States and the world in this century.

I would feel a lot better about our chances of success if ecological sanity began to replace short-term profit margins as the main prerogative for energy development. At this point, I am far from assured.

Palin’s reality show will most likely break, not make political image

M

ove over grizzly bears.

Mama Palin intends to deliver a huge roar.

“Sarah Palin’s Alaska” debuted Sunday night on TLC, and if my reaction holds any indicative weight, she surely confused, surprised and polarized the nation.

If her only goal is to become a media force, then she’s ahead of the game. But if she thinks this reality show will broaden her appeal as a 2012 presidential candidate, she’s surely mistaken.

Some might see the new eightweek series that portrays the former Alaska governor and Republican vice presidential nominee fishing, hunting and rock climbing as a killer political statement. She exposes a human side Americans can relate to and appreciate. Others might see it as political suicide — if political liveliness was even in the cards for her.

I lean toward the latter. There’s no doubt Palin is a kind-hearted, charming woman with a lot of political individuality. There’s no doubt she fulfills her duties as Mama Grizzly, evident in the way she guides her family through the majestic Alaskan wilderness. There is also no doubt she’s making a big splash with this publicity stunt.

Palin has a significant following with the Tea Party and strong political influence, apparent in her role in recently endorsing 61 candidates in the Nov. 2 elections. Her fan base is supportive, and the phrase “Team Sarah” is a frequent rally cry of the loyal. Yet she’s been criticized, mocked and demeaned like no other since former President George W. Bush, a fellow Republican. Her general approval ratings are low, and this show could potentially sink them even lower.

We must ask ourselves: What does America need and want from a politician or, more importantly, a

get it together presidential candidate?

Her commentary pushes her back instead of launching her forward.

In the first preview clip of the show, Palin says she prefers the freedom of the outdoors in her home state to being in “some stuffy political office.”

After a disappointing fishing trip, Palin says to the camera: “You knowhat they say, a poor day of fishing beats even a great day of work.” This comes from the governor who quit her job with more than a year left to her term.

“Sarah Palin’s Alaska” might be clean, wholesome fun, but what America really needs is a serious politician.

As a country that’s neck deep in debt, facing environmental devastation and the ever present risk of terrorist attacks, we need a person in the political office getting things done.

Executives at TLC, the cable channel airing the reality show, claim the docu-travelogue has no political agenda. Yeah, right. By broadcasting her family members in their majestic Alaskan landscape on national television, Palin has taken her untraditional campaign to the next level. She got a little taste of fame and is now milking it for all it’s worth.

More so than any other public official, Palin has relied heavily on social media to gain the public’s attention, which she so clearly values. She’s been able to connect directly with her audience, dodging the mainstream media as the

middleman, making it obvious she’s no ordinary politician. She embraces the spotlight and doesn’t let criticism discourage her.

“You know, having every word, every action scrutinized, and in some cases mocked — I can handle it. You know, I kind of asked for it, right?”

Palin said of fame in the first episode.

She deserves props for that. However, the show might be taking it a little too far. It’s hard to take a politician seriously when leisure seems to be his or her main priority. Don’t get me wrong. I’m all for appreciating the great outdoors. But frolicking around in the wilderness only solidifies Palin’s image as a partially dedicated political figure. Wouldn’t it have been a better political move to stay in the office the people elected you to?

“I don’t think anyone is on the fence about Palin anymore,” said Bob Thompson, professor of television and popular culture at Syracuse University. “If you think that she’s a joke, you’re going to watch this show and see it as confirmation.”

It seems like Palin is far more suited for the world of “Kate Plus 8” as opposed to a world of the highest office in the country. The fact that those two worlds could collide is utterly terrifying.

Riding the high of public attention and fame could be Palin’s escape from political office, which she so often whines about.

Maybe once the eight-week Alaskan series runs its course, Palin will realize she belongs in the wilderness. Where she’ll be among the blue-collar workers earning an honest living, among the nostalgic American landscape and among Palin’s favorite — the mama grizzly bears.

SU hopes to expand the program to three or four more schools in the next two years, Toenniessen said. The university is already in talks with universities interested in joining, he said.

When Carol Carter, an associate director of the LSU Stephenson Entrepreneurship Institute, heard about EBV, she said it was something she knew LSU had to be a part of. She met with Mike Haynie, EBV founder and Whitman entrepreneurship professor, about a year ago at an EBV event to discuss joining.

“I said, ‘We’ve just got to do this. It’s just the most fabulous thing I’ve ever seen,’” said Carter, who has been selected to lead the LSU program.

The program is a way to give veterans who are mentally or physically disabled a chance to get back to their lives and thrive, she said.

The program is a perfect fit for LSU, she said, because the school has a long history of being involved with military service. Several former generals lead campus foundations.

The LSU EBV program finalized its funding Monday with a $150,000 gift from alumni Espy and Scotty Moran.

“They are Louisiana natives and very patriotic folks,” she said. “They just wanted to make sure the program had the funding needed for the first two years.”

The LSU program will hopefully begin in February 2012, Carter said. Faculty members are already planning. The first session will be offered to 15 veterans, and subsequent sessions will expand to 25 veterans. dkmcbrid@syr.edu

woken up around 5 a.m. on Sunday to the sound of Sweeney’s motorcycle engine starting up, Nerviano said. But the roommate said he thought the neighbor was starting the motorcycle and was not suspicious that someone was stealing it, Nerviano said.

Police talked to six neighbors on Ackerman Avenue, five of whom are Syracuse University students and one who is a student at the State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry. None of them had seen any unknown persons or suspicious activity the previous night, according to the report.

Both Sweeney and Nerviano said they have not heard any news from Syracuse police about possible suspects, and both cases are still open, according to the police reports.

Nerviano said he is frustrated his iPod and GPS were taken but feels worse that Sweeney lost his motorcycle.

“It sucks,” he said. “But I feel really bad for the other kid.” rastrum@syr.edu

Megan Stauffer, a bioengineering major and a resident adviser in Shaw Hall’s engineering learning community, said she made this lecture her hall event for this week, which she hopes will encourage her residents to attend it. She said she likes how Engineers Without Borders works in countries with limited resources, which she said makes the work more challenging and rewarding.

Greenberg oversees the building’s conditions and operations. He said he is not sure when the damaged pipe was originally reported to be fixed.

“It literally burst,” Greenberg said. “Water just shot out all over the place.”

The second floor flooded, and water soaked down into the first floor, Greenberg said.

Greenberg described areas in Tolley to be “totally deluged” with water. He said the water damaged two faculty offices and one classroom in particular. Books and files were totally soaked in a first and a second floor office, he said, and a teacher working station with computer equipment on the first floor was probably ruined.

Some ceiling panels were “totally destroyed,” drywall was torn up and the carpet was wet, Greenberg said. Staff from the risk management and physical plant departments cared for the damage to the building, drying carpet and wiping surfaces. Greenberg said staff from the library’s book preservation department removed the files and books from the offices.

No one was injured, Greenberg said.

SU had no cost estimates for the repairs to Tolley as of Monday afternoon, said Allan Breese, director of Physical Plant and Business and Facilities Maintenance Services. The physi-

sa

cal plant department will handle the clean up and repairs to Tolley, he said.

Signs at the front of Tolley announced the break and listed classes on the first and second floors that would be rescheduled starting at 9:30 a.m. and going for the rest of the day. Classes were moved to the Life Sciences Complex and Crouse-Hinds Hall.

“It literally burst.

Water just shot out all over the place.”

associate dean of curriculum, instruction and programs in the College of Arts and Sciences

Greenberg said he hopes classes will return to Tolley on Wednesday.

“Fortunately, we’re near the end of the semester,” Greenberg said.

The maintenance staff was still cleaning late Monday afternoon when Paul Wiele, a senior psychology major, was trying to get to his 3:45 p.m. linguistics class normally held on the first floor of Tolley. Wiele did not notice the signs on the outside doors of Tolley and walked right in.

“I had no idea what happened,” Wiele said.

Wiele was late to his class that had been moved to the Life Sciences Complex. He said he was not upset the university had not more directly alerted students because there was no way for the administration to have been prepared for a water main break. dkmcbrid@syr.edu

Rickert said the lower overall turnout was due to a lack of contention for both the comptroller and presidential positions.

“I guess a lot of people just really didn’t see the incentive,” he said.

He also tied the freshman turnout this year to having a lot of SA freshman members who spread the word in their residence halls to vote.

Barnhart voiced similar reasons and said the candidates this year campaigned well in the dining halls.

He compared the most recent election to last year’s, when he faced presidential candidate Hari Iyer. The election got more attention because of the competition, Barnhart said.

hough often considered solely a social networking platform, Twitter may also offer more scholarly benefits, according to a study published in a November issue of the Journal of Computer Assisted Learning.

“Twitter is a good way for students to connect with us and have more exposure to course material,” said Reynol Junco, lead author of the study and an associate professor of academic development and counseling at Lock Haven University in Pennsylvania.

The experiment examined how educationally relevant uses of Twitter in and outside of the classroom impacted classroom engagement and grades of first-year students in pre-health professional programs, Junco said. Students would respond to questions via Twitter and also pose questions to professors.

The study found Lock Haven students asked to complete assignments and engage in class discussion using Twitter over one semester increased their engagement more than twice as much as a group that utilized a different social networking website for these same assignments, Junco said.

“Twitter is a good way for students to connect with us and have more exposure to course

er than anything in America, Ledyard said.

“There was not a two-story building in North Korea that was still standing,” he said of the end of the Korean War. The North remembers this, and that memory affects its “dealings with the outside world, especially with the United States of America.”

“North Korea’s issues are with us — U.S. Us,” Ledyard said.

Jongwoo Han, an assistant professor in the Maxwell School, said the primary purpose of the workshop was to find new ways of solving the Korean conflict by overcoming the assumptions of the past.

“We don’t want to get into the details of who did and who didn’t,” he said. “We want the Korean Peninsula to be in peace.”

SU entered an academic exchange with North Korea’s Kim Chaek University of Technology in 2002, focusing on information technology. SU is the only American university that maintains an ongoing exchange with a North Korean counterpart, Han said.

Despite the missile tests in 2006 and the sinking of a South Korean ship in March, SU Chancellor Nancy Cantor still works closely with the university, and the exchange is supported by both governments, Han said.

SU has hosted delegations from the university, and educators from SU have been welcomed to Pyongyang, Han said. Another set of scholars from Kim Chaek is scheduled to

Chirp UP material,” Junco said.

Junco worked in collaboration with Greg Heiberger, coordinator and adviser in the biology and microbiology department at South Dakota State University.

In fall 2009, 70 students from four class sections were randomly assigned to groups and given assignments and discussions that incorporated Twitter. A control group of 55 students from three sections were given the same assignments and information, but did not use Twitter, Junco said.

Student engagement was measured at the beginning and end of the semester using a 19-question survey based on the National Survey of Student Engagement. Survey questions asked students how often they engaged in certain activities, such as asking questions in class or discussing grades or assignments with a professor, Junco said.

In addition to showing a significantly higher improvement in engagement than the control group, the students who used Twitter also demonstrated about a 0.5 point increase in their overall semester grade point average, Junco said.

There were some cases in which he had to assist participants who were not doing well psychosocially, but Junco said Twitter helped him

Another of SU’s roles in solving the Korean conflict is supporting research projects such as that of Margaret Hermann, a Maxwell professor who uses specialized software to analyze the leadership personalities of world leaders as distant as Kim Jong Il. Hermann’s project sampled 50,000 of Kim Jong Il’s words, spoken from 1994 to 2009, to separate the North Korean leader into distinct leadership styles that change over specific periods of his reign. Hermann said this information can be used to determine better ways to conduct negotiations with Kim Jong Il’s government.

“It’s one of the great steppingstones for North Korean studies,” said Changyong Choi, a doctoral candidate at Maxwell and 1996 graduate of Korea University in Seoul.

Erik French, a doctoral candidate in political science, said he believes a new way of thinking is required to reunite the Koreas.

Said French: “A new global generation of thinkers will come to the issue of Korea without the Cold War assumptions.” geclarke@syr.edu

Study finds students who use Twitter for class more involved

better identify those who were struggling. It is harder to identify those students in a classroom setting because students did not speak up much as they did on Twitter, Junco said.

“There were two students out of 70 who thought using Twitter as a part of the class was too much work at first, but later in the semester, they ended up liking it a lot more than they thought they would,” he said.

But some faculty members may have a more difficult time accepting Twitter and other social networking websites as tools for educational purposes, Junco said. He said he anticipated more integration between social media and the classroom in the future.

“For a while, many faculty members saw websites like Facebook as something evil,” Junco said. “Now it seems like more faculty are willing to explore these social technologies and even integrate them into classroom teaching.”

Junco and his colleagues are currently collecting and assessing one-year follow-up data of the study. Twitter and increased engagement had carried over into the students’ daily lives during the study, but Junco is interested to find out if it remained that way after the study was over, he said.

“We are looking at second-year persis-

tence,” Junco said. “We are doing interviews with students to get at the finer details of how using Twitter in educationally relevant ways helped or did not help them increase their engagement.”

Marilyn Arnone, associate professor of practice in the School of Information Studies at Syracuse University and director of educational media for SU’s Center for Digital Literacy, is also an advocate of using Twitter for educational purposes. Arnone said she intends to experiment with Twitter as a tool for extending class discussions with her classes in 2011.

“Dr. Junco’s research design was appropriate for this study, and we’ll need lots more empirical evidence like this before educators are convinced of the value of social media integration with teaching methods,” Arnone said in an e-mail.

Olga Litvinenko, a junior finance major, said she thinks Twitter could be a valuable tool for students if organized by the professor for students to easily access discussion points and questions for the class.

“I’m generally not a huge fan of Twitter,” Litvinenko said. “But I think promoting Twitter through a class would make it more appealing to use on a constant basis.”

Orange donation boxes are placed in various campus locations in October and are collected in November.

The proceeds are sent directly to the U.S. Fund for UNICEF, said Brikena Radoniqi, fundraising chair and a senior international relations and political science major. Last year UNICEF at SU raised $512, and the International Relations Learning Community raised about $700.

The Tap Project is the second major fundraiser held during World Water Week in March.

During the event, SU’s chapter asks Marshall Street and downtown businesses to ask customers to donate a dollar for their usually free water, Radoniqi said.

Every year there are five recipient countries of the tap water fund.

“The money would later go to (the U.S. Fund for UNICEF) to help raise awareness for easier access to water, sanitation and hygiene,” Radoniqi said.

UNICEF at SU will be tabling the week before the ball to spread awareness and collect “Trick or Treat for UNICEF” orange boxes from students who participated in that fundraiser.

“Both UNICEF at SU and Phi Iota are very excited about doing this event because we believe that it is going to be something students have never experienced before,” Jeffries said.

“If this event goes as planned, we hopefully can bring it to a larger venue like Goldstein Auditorium.”

have an event outside of just doing our fundraising initiates,” said Tyra Jeffries, vice president for UNICEF at SU and a junior public relations major.

The event is open to all SU students. To create relationships with other campuses, UNICEF at SU has invited Cornell University UNICEF members to attend, Jeffries said.

Members of UNICEF at SU said they are honored to have guest speaker Swanson in attendance. Swanson is the program manager for all UNICEF campus initiatives and will be giving a brief speech about the campus initiatives, as well as speaking with guests who come to the event.

Two hundred tickets for the Snowflake Ball will be on sale starting this week in the Schine Box Office. They will be $5 with an SU ID and $7 without an SU ID. Collection boxes will also be at the event for further donations.

Phi Iota Alpha is working with UNICEF at SU to make this event possible because its philanthropy is UNICEF. Jeffries said she hopes the two organizations working together will pull people from different parts of the campus.

“By working with them, we believe we can broaden our audience and generate a higher attendance rate,” she said.

As a student-run branch, UNICEF at SU already holds two major fundraising initiatives a year. The fall fundraiser, “Trick-or-Treat for

Bridging the gap Though decades apart, senior citizens, undergrads find common ground

Asst. Copy Editor

very Thursday, Marsha Glatter has class at the Martin J. Whitman School of Management. She hears speakers and participates in discussions, just like any other student.

But she doesn’t have to buy textbooks, never has to do any homework and doesn’t live in a campus residence hall.

Glatter is one of 10 senior citizens within the

Syracuse chapter of Oasis, a national nonprofit organization that allows adults ages 50 and older to participate in lifelong learning and enriching activities, such as introductory courses on Microsoft Word and yoga. The chapter in Syracuse currently has about 8,000 members, with 1,200 paying for college classes. Glatter is enrolled in professor Margaret Thompson’s honors history course, “Religion and American Politics.”

This is the first year Thompson has taught the

course, but it is not the first time she’s taught a course integrating Oasis members. In 2008, she taught a class on that year’s presidential election and new media.

Though the age difference between the undergraduate students and Oasis members is as wide as 65 years, Thompson said she does not view the gap as an issue.

“What we have is a broad range of participants bringing different perspectives into the classroom,”

The NewHouse earns top 10 spot in Honda ad contest

By Karen Hor

Contributing Writer

Cars are no longer simply transport vehicles for dates — they are the date.

The NewHouse agency used this concept as a base for its advertising campaign for Honda’s new CR-Z coupe.

The NewHouse, a student-run advertising agency in Syracuse Uni-

versity’s S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications, has been selected as one of the top 10 competitors in American Honda’s Media Challenge for Honda’s CR-Z sport hybrid.

The competition requires teams of three students to develop a public relations campaign for Honda. The top 10 teams must submit a final

report Dec. 1, and three of those teams will be chosen Dec. 8 to compete in a final round. The first place team will be awarded a visit to a major city to attend a product launch in April 2011.

Since 1990, EdVenture Partners, the creators of the competition, designed and managed programs bringing together professionals and

university students into real-world marketing and learning experiences.

Adam Bielman, president of The NewHouse, and his team submitted their plan Sept. 30 and were chosen

by Honda as one of the top 10 teams.

Bielman, a senior advertising major and advertising representative for The Daily Orange, is working with

senior Yang Yang and junior Jennifer Brotman, both advertising majors.

“We were inspired by the combination that Honda has so uniquely manufactured — the sports hybrid car,” said Yang, director of strategy of The NewHouse.

Online promoter Groupon offers discounts at Syracuse businesses

By Alicia Smith CONTRIBUTING WRITER

The phone would not stop ringing Friday at the Sweet Endings Bakeshop in Jamesville, N.Y., with customers calling for discounted cupcakes.

The spike in business came from Groupon, a website that posts discount offerings for local businesses. Groupon launched in November 2008 in Chicago and has been popping up in cities throughout the United States since. The company recently released a Syracuse chapter on Oct. 29. There are now more than 125 North American locations hosting Groupon, according to company spokesman Mark Desky. The company offers 200 deals per day in the United States and 400 per day worldwide.

Groupon releases coupons to local businesses via Twitter, Facebook or e-mail to the website’s subscribers. The promotions are made valid only when a specific number of purchasers is reached, so the company encourages sharing the deals with friends and family. Users can either print the coupons or show them to retail-

she said.

Mary Buckley, an SU alumnus who graduated in 1965 and a member of Oasis, has taken both of Thompson’s courses. Buckley said she feels comfortable learning around younger

ers on their iPhone or Android phone.

Sweet Endings’ Groupon promotion offered 50 percent off of the regularly priced $18 dozen of standard cupcakes, and sales were consequently higher than usual, said Mary Chappell, owner of Sweet Endings. Chappell said the promotion was very successful and said she thinks taking part in the service was worth it.

Chappell originally heard about Groupon from her brother. Shortly after, she received a call from Groupon, inviting her to participate.

She decided to accept the offer after doing a bit of research.

“They give us some suggestions about what to make the coupon for, and obviously we have to give a reasonable discount or people aren’t going to be intrigued by it. In the past, cupcakes have done very well for other bakeries. It was a natural fit, so we went with that,” Chappell said.

Strong Hearts Café, a local vegan restaurant, was the first local business to be featured for Groupon’s Syracuse launch. With the purchase of a $5 coupon, customers could receive $10 worth of food at the restaurant on Groupon’s

opening day.

“College towns and cities with a young workforce are among our top performers, given that they attract consumers new to an area looking to explore their cities in new and exciting ways,” Desky said.

Colin Thorn, a graduate public relations student, learned about Groupon when it was mentioned in one of his news reporting lectures on graphically based social networking.

“It’s a good way for local businesses to get in contact with its customers and advertise at a minimal cost,” Thorn said. “It’s easy because you just get an e-mail saying what is offered.

Everybody wins if you’re interested in what they’re offering.”

Despite its growth among businesses, Groupon has yet to grab onto local social networking communities. GrouponSyracuse, the official Twitter account of the area’s promotions, only had 27 followers on Twitter as of Monday night, many of which were not Syracuse University students.

“I get so many e-mails every day, and I’m

still learning the area,” Thorn said. “If I was a permanent resident and knew of the businesses, I could definitely see myself using it.”

Thorn said he has yet to use Groupon but thinks it has potential to become popular among SU students.

There is also a tangible reward for local businesses that participate in the program.

“Our merchants love the exposure and steady stream of new customers we deliver,” Desky said.

In August of this year, Forbes Magazine called Groupon the “fastest growing company ever,” but it may be too soon to tell how quickly it will catch on among SU students.

Thorn said he hasn’t used Groupon but that it has potential to become popular the longer it sticks around.

“People need an incentive to do something,” he said. “And Groupon has a tangible incentive in offering discounts.”

generations, mainly due to her daughter, who graduated from college in 2006. She believes interaction and connection between generations is very important.

Although there is a diversity of life experiences in class, the students and senior citizens share common worries, Buckley said.

“All the students in the class are invested in our country’s and planet’s future and focused on political and social concerns of today,” she said. “Senior (citizens) just have more life experience, so they have a longer range of input. But the students are very knowledgeable and are concerned.”

Glatter said the religion and politics class caught her interest because it was very different from others she had read about in the course catalog. The topic hit close to home for her because politics was commonly discussed between her husband and daughter, who graduated college with a degree in religion.

The class meets two times a week, but the senior citizens only attend the Thursday classes, which usually features speakers and

discussions.

“It was a perfect mix of a collegiate atmosphere and without the requirement of work,” Glatter said.

Senior citizens and the undergraduate students have integrated well. The Syracuse University students and Oasis members are mixed throughout the class, with no clear sense of segregation, Glatter said.

“It is all natural now. In the beginning, it was funny,” she said. “Many of the topics we can identify with, and we’ve lived through certain milestones.”

When the class touched upon the topic of abortion, the Oasis members had all lived through a time when it was illegal, and if anyone wanted one, she had to do it illegally. This is where the cultural differences come, as the option of abortion is something only younger SU students have known.

Because the undergraduate students are still living in a collegiate world, they offer different life perspectives and outlooks from their older counterparts, Glatter said.

Their different life experiences have led to numerous class discussions, such as the undergraduate students’ lack of experience in the workforce. Through this mix of perspectives, Glatter said the class is more rich and engaging.

“They haven’t lived in the real world yet,” she said.

idea, “You & Me,” was created.

“Because the car is only two seats, it’s really intimate, either you’re in there with someone you know really well, or if you’re by yourself, then you know the car really well,” Bielman said.

The team members formulated a YouTube campaign on the concept of speed-dating. They created a YouTube channel called “YouAndMeCRZ,” in which they will upload real-life dates they record between college students. Each date is posted online and allows viewers to vote which date is the most successful.

The “You & Me” campaign was chosen over the “Experience You” campaign from Hill Communications, a student-run public relations firm at Newhouse.

The group’s Facebook page received a total of 211 “likes,” and the “YouAndMeCRZ” YouTube channel has hit a total of 2,213 views as of Nov. 15.

“It’s much easier to get a video to go viral than a Facebook ‘like.’ We succeeded in it going viral,” said Bielman.

Yang said Honda personally contacted the group and recognized The NewHouse’s use of YouTube connectivity and getting people to participate in the campaign.

Bielman said Honda wanted a creative solu-

tion and social media-based strategy to promote the sport hybrid coupe. The group was given $150 from Honda and a Flip video camera to help create its advertising campaign.

“They want the most creative plan to make an impression using social media, as well as traditional media,” Bielman said. “Most bang for their buck, basically.”

The group has worked for the past five weeks on the competition. On Halloween, The NewHouse members held a costume competition in which they had SU students pose next to the Honda CR-Z in their costumes. They uploaded photos onto their “CR-Z Syracuse” Facebook page and had viewers vote for the best costume. The NewHouse awarded the winner with a gift card.

Yang said the group gave Honda an ultimatum for how many hits its videos, Facebook page and Twitter account could get. The NewHouse team members initially believed they could get 50,000 total media impressions.

“With our earned media coverage and social media engagement, we’ve already surpassed that,” Bielman said.

“We want to engage the viewers to vote on the videos,” Yang said. “It generates a more lasting impression on Honda and the campaign.”

Kid Cudi takes on sinister new persona in consistently somber album

KID CUDI

Man on the Moon, Vol. II: The Legend of Mr. Rager Universal Motown Records

Dark side of the moon

id Cudi’s new album, “Man on the Moon, Vol. II: The Legend of Mr. Rager,” continues the success of his debut with 2009’s “Man on the Moon: The End of Day.” While it lacks a smash hit to rival “Day ‘n’ Nite,” this sequel is actually a more consistent and complex work than “Man on the Moon,” take one. Cudi takes a step forward, with improved flow and vocal control as he offers intensely dark and remorseful lyrics to mull over.

Scott Mescudi, aka Kid Cudi, has risen to the front ranks of mainstream music over the past year — somewhat of a revelation, considering that pop charts are clogged with the likes of Katy Perry and Ke$ha. Collaborations with MGMT and Ratatat on his debut album were commercial successes, and by tapping into the indie and alternative genres, Kid Cudi effectively tagged himself as a rapper with an alternative mindset. His music has incorporated pop, hard rock and electronic elements to produce a new sound for hip-hop — one that transcends typical rap conventions.

“The Legend of Mr. Rager” is positive proof, a grungy album full of introspective songs about demons, self-doubt and insecurity. Split into five separate “acts,” Cudi offers us a legitimate concept album. Opening track “Scott Mescudi vs. the World” features Cee-Lo on the hook and draws us into Cudi’s world right off the bat. Familiar notes from “In My Dreams” signal a continuation of where “Man on the Moon” left off, as Cudi asks us “What up? How’s everyone doing? You are now in the world I’m ruling.” And so we are introduced to Mr. Rager, the edgy counterpart to the more naïve Solo Dolo.

Release Date: Act Two of “The Legend of Mr. Rager” focuses on drugs and their influences.

11/9/10 “Don’t Play This Song” is an anti-feel-good song, with Cudi contemplating suicide and wondering what his music would sound like if he wasn’t on drugs. “We Aite Sounds like: A darker, angrier (Wake Your Mind Up)” is a numbing interlude that describes feeling in control, Kid Cudi despite being under the influence. This break transitions seamlessly into “Marijuana,” a paranoid cannabis anthem that clocks in at an appropriate four minutes Genre: Hip-hop/ and 20 seconds. “Mojo So Dope” sounds like a Gorillaz track, with Cudi venting about Rap nonconformity and personal lifestyle over a spacey beat. Drugs have clearly altered Rating: Kid Cudi’s perspective, leaving him fearful and unsure of himself, which makes for some genuinely creepy music.

“Ashin’ Kusher” kicks off the third act, which is dedicated to partying on and raging. Cudi brags about how funky he keeps it, but this is one of the weaker cuts on the album. “Erase Me” is the biggest commercial hit, a shameless Weezer rip-off. Cudi 4/5 soundwaves and Kanye West chug along over the guitar riffing, but this poppy track is out of place, considering the dark tone of the rest of the album.

Fortunately, “Wild’n Cuz I’m Young” redeems the party. Strange throbs and blips make up the rhythm over a fat bass line, creating a catchy yet uncomfortable result.

“The Mood” sounds like an acid trip gone bad, with creepy laughs and pounding drums creating a distinctly strange atmosphere.

Cudi begins to find resolutions in the second half of the album. “Mr. Rager” describes him going off on adventures, with heaven as the ultimate destination.

“These Worries” features Mary J. Blige sharing Cudi’s pain, with tribal thumps and sonar pings forming another jilted beat. “The End” marks the finish of Mr. Rager’s journey, but guest rappers GLC, Chip Tha Ripper and Nicole Wray distract from the solo trip that Cudi worked so hard to take us on.

The concluding chapter begins with “All Along,” with Cudi believing he is destined to be alone and troubled, whereas “Trapped In My Mind” describes a man unable to escape his own insecurities and thoughts. This is Kid Cudi, the lonely stoner who can’t get out of his own head.

Kid Cudi has dealt with a cocaine addiction and the insecurity that comes with fame, and “The Legend of Mr. Rager” reveals him at his darkest and most unstable.

The sinister moods of the music and the reflective, hazy lyrics combine to create a fascinating listening experience. Cudi continues to push mainstream hip-hop into new places and blur the subjective lines between indie, hip-hop and alternative music. ajhaeder@syr.edu

Seniors reflect on end of careers after up-and-down season

By Rachel Marcus Staff Writer

The score read 24-13 in favor of Louisville. It was the fourth set, and the Cardinals were one point away from winning the match and ending the season for the Syracuse volleyball team and its three seniors on Senior Day. It was clear the Orange wasn’t going to win this one. Louisville was just too tough. And even though slight hope could be felt throughout the stands and on the sideline, reality began to creep in. The season was over. There would be no miraculous comeback. For the three seniors on the team, this was the end.

“We played with a lot of heart,” senior Hayley Todd said. “We just sort of ran out of steam.

That’s not the way you want it to go.”

Standing alongside the Syracuse bench as the game ended, fellow senior Mindy Stanislovaitis began to tear up. The Sunday afternoon game against Louisville would be her final game wearing a Syracuse volleyball jersey. And to have it end at home, without qualifying for the Big East tournament, was tough. Stanislovaitis tried her best. She had 13 kills to lead the team against the Cardinals.

“I’m glad that Mindy finished with this game today,” assistant coach Carol LaMarche said.

to national relevance.

“I want to make sure that, somewhere along the line, we understand that there were some good seniors last year that really helped this foundation,” Marrone said. “And I don’t want to forget those players, either. … Even though they’re not here with us today, those players are part of what we’ve done today. No doubt in my mind.”

Marrone singled out Owen specifically, along with quarterback Greg Paulus and defensive tackle Art Jones. To hear of Marrone’s statements gave Owen more respect for Marrone, a coach he considers “a great man to lead this team.”

For Owen, last season was the start of something big, even if it didn’t immediately show in the Orange’s results. That meant getting some tangible turnaround in Marrone’s first season. That meant getting players, especially the underclassmen, to buy into a Marrone system he believed in. That meant laying the groundwork for what was to come.

“She really picked it up today, got some good kills and was a good leader out there for us, and I thought she did well.”

But it wasn’t enough to extend the season.

Five wins in Big East play won’t cut it, even if the team did finish with 23 total wins.

After the game, Stanislovaitis reflected on her finale.

“Just go out and play hard,” Stanislovaitis said of her mindset toward the game. “It’s my last shot. Have to do all I can do.”

Stanislovaitis, Todd and fellow senior Sarah Hayes did all they could do this season. The trio led Syracuse to a program record 17-0 start and finished the season 23-9. But they could not extend that play into the Big East, leading to the team’s failure to qualify for the Big East tournament.

Todd, Hayes and Stanislovaitis were not just senior role players. They were three of the best players on the team. Todd finished the season second in kills (317) and third in blocks (72).

Stanislovaitis was third in kills (232), and Hayes was third in digs (221).

Todd’s consistent smackdown of kills, Hayes’ knack for digs in the backcourt and Stanislovaitis’ energy and kills of her own proved to be assets the team will miss next year.

“Last year, we were 4-8,” said Owen, who just finished a season coaching at Riverhead High School in Riverhead, N.Y., where he attended high school. “But I can honestly say that every game besides the UConn game, we were in the game the whole time. … It was just a matter of growing and understanding each other and understanding where Coach Marrone was coming from.”

In his weekly press conference Monday, Marrone made little time for dwelling on the significance of Saturday’s victory, which also helped Syracuse receive two votes in this week’s Associated Press poll. Marrone said he is already focusing his full attention on Saturday’s opponent, Connecticut.

But he did take some time to reflect. And he said the one thing that made this season so special for him was that this year’s senior class could go out on top.

“What pleases me the most is that the seniors are going to go out with a winning season and a bowl game,” Marrone said. “For me, I felt there was a lot of pressure on myself and the coaches for us to do this the right way so that our seniors can leave here winning, knowing that it is going to help them more so in life than the gratification

“They’ve been consistent players for us all season and great leaders,” LaMarche said. “(Head coach Jing Pu) and I can really rely on them to be ready game day. We’re going to miss them next year.”

But it wasn’t just their on-court performances that showed their value. It was the little things, too.

Hayes could always be seen verbally cheering on her teammates from the bench. If Todd was on the bench, she would be jumping up and down every time someone on the team made a play. The same energy was brought by Stanislovaitis.

These seniors were not just leaders on the court. They took charge on the sidelines, during practice and wherever else the team needed support.

“We’ve relied a lot on them this year,” LaMarche said of the three.

Next year, the team won’t have Hayes’ dancing antics on the sideline. Or Todd and Stanislovaitis’ jumping and cheering.

The seniors, and the mark they left on the program, will be gone.

“There’s three spots that need to be filled now,” LaMarche said. “They’re key players for us.”

Three big spots on all sides of the ball. And on the sidelines, too.

Said LaMarche: “They’re just great kids, and it’s fun to watch them go through four years and finish their careers well.” rnmarcus@syr.edu

Syracuse finished the season with an overall record of 23-9 after starting the year off with 17 consecutive wins. But its Big East record of 5-9 was not good enough to propel the Orange into the Big East tournament. SU finished in a tie for ninth place in the conference with St. John’s, Georgetown and West Virginia.

Syracuse will go into next season without team leaders Hayley Todd and Mindy Stanislovaitis, both outside hitters, as well as defensive specialist Sarah Hayes, all of whom will be graduating in May.

Lemon, Tribbey expected to play Marrone said Monday that he expects both starting wide receiver Alec Lemon and defensive tackle Bud Tribbey to play this weekend in SU’s contest against Connecticut. Both did not play Saturday against Rutgers, despite being in uniform and on the sidelines.

“We expect both of those players to be on the field for us this week,” Marrone said. “They’re cleared medically.”

When asked about the specifics of Tribbey’s injury, Marrone did not elaborate. Lemon missed the game against Rutgers because of an injured left hand that was heavily taped on the sidelines.

Lemon said last Tuesday that he injured the hand in SU’s loss to Louisville the previous week, on a diving attempt at a touchdown catch that grazed off his fingertips.

Despite having the hand heavily taped when talking to reporters last Tuesday, Lemon said he expected to play against Rutgers.

“I’m good,” he said. “It’s just going day by day

right now. The swelling is going down, and I’m feeling better every day.”

Without Lemon, junior Marcus Sales started and freshman Adrian Fleming saw more time at wide receiver. Sales caught five passes for 73 yards, including two on the Orange’s final 66-yard drive that would lead to Ross Krautman’s game-winning field goal.

Tribbey will be especially important in taking up blockers against Connecticut’s Jordan Todman, the seventh-leading rusher in the nation.

His absence was a crucial factor in Rutgers’ Jeremy Deering rushing for 166 yards and a touchdown out of the Wild Knight formation.

But Marrone said Monday he anticipates both Lemon and Tribbey will be back to fill those holes.

“You’re cleared medically to play, that is one thing,” Marrone said. “The other thing is being able to go out there and perform at a level where we can win. … It is just a matter of how they perform. And they’ll both be practicing this week.” bplogiur@syr.edu

Melo quickly ended the trend. He picked up his first foul at the 3:23 mark with the game tied.

Eighteen seconds later, he picked up his second foul. He picked up foul No. 3 just 27 seconds after that. Moussa Keita promptly subbed in.

From that point on, Moussa Keita would haul in 11 rebounds to go along with his 3-of-5 shooting from the field, totaling six points. And from there, Melo played just four more minutes.

In the SU locker room after the game, Melo had a certain vibe to him. A vibe that fused frustration, disbelief and apathy. Apathy toward the fouls. A sense of apathy because Boeheim told Melo the fouls were unwarranted. Melo played a half full of proper defensive position in Boeheim’s 2-3 zone. Nothing to be worried about with his play.

“Most of the fouls, I don’t think they were fouls,” Melo said. “(Boeheim) told me, ‘It was a good job, so keep playing defense.’ That is what I was doing. And the fouls, I didn’t like it a lot.”

And neither did Boeheim. The foul trouble was the facet of Melo’s game Thursday that aligned as a disappointment with the rest of the bench’s poor play. Melo just wasn’t in there enough to do anything, and his growth had been stunted.

Against Canisius, SU struggled to grow as well. The much-maligned first half was highlighted by the 26-25 deficit Syracuse faced with 2:48 left when Melo exited. But in came Moussa Keita and, surprise, the Orange only trailed for the next 21 seconds before it would go up for the rest of the game.

Moussa Keita proved the turning point, giving SU a 27-26 lead it wouldn’t relinquish on a simple layup following an offensive rebound.

First-half adjustments help Syracuse cruise

By Zach Brown Staff Writer

After Cornell hit two back-to-back 3-pointers to take a one-point lead, Syracuse head coach Quentin Hillsman told his players to make two simple adjustments: get out on the shooters on defense and push the ball to the rim on offense.

And with those two syracuse 86 changes came the Syracornell 45 cuse onslaught.

Beginning with 5:21 left in the first half, Syracuse reeled off a 34-2 run, and the Orange (2-0) pulled away to a dominant 86-45 victory over the Big Red (0-2) in front of 1,020 fans in the Carrier Dome Monday. SU’s suffocating defense, coupled with a big rebounding edge, powered the Orange to a 21-0 run that started immediately after Cornell took the lead on a Shelby Lyman 3-pointer.

From that point on, SU outscored the Big Red 60-18 the rest of the way.

“Down the stretch, I thought we really did a very good job of closing the game out,” Hillsman said. “That’s all we really wanted to do was to come out in the second half and close the game out. Get some distance in between us just so we could get down the floor, play in transition and get some easy baskets.”

The Orange started the game with a heavy dose of Kayla Alexander. On Syracuse’s first two

possessions, it fed the ball to Alexander in the post and never let up from there. Her long 6-foot4 frame towered over the Cornell defenders, helping her tally 19 points and pull down eight boards in the game.

But even with Alexander dominating in the post, SU couldn’t pull away from the Big Red for the first 15 minutes of the game. Cornell had an answer for each small Syracuse spurt, typically in the form of one of its five first-half 3-pointers.

“Honestly, they were getting the same 3s in the same spot every possession,” Hillsman said.

“So we had to just get our guards to play a little further up the floor.”

And once the Orange did that, the rout was on. Eleven seconds after Lyman gave the Big Red its only lead of the game, SU point guard Tasha Harris drained a 3-pointer to put SU back up by two. The next Cornell shot was a miss by Kristina Danielak, starting a 0-for-11 stretch that lasted just more than nine minutes.

While the Orange was forcing turnovers and contesting shots on defense, its offense exploded on the other end of the floor, mostly by getting to the rim and crashing the boards.

“I think in practice we go against each other so well that when we do come in the game, we are really aggressive on the boards,” said junior forward Iasia Hemingway, who pulled in eight rebounds to go along with her 10 points. “So

that’s why we’re so good at that.”

If it wasn’t Alexander posting up the Big Red, it was a slashing drive by one of the Orange guards that led to second-chance points. Twenty-three offensive rebounds led to 28 secondchance points for the Orange. SU dominated Cornell 52-28 on the glass, including 34-8 in the second half.

“We did start going to the glass more,” sophomore guard Carmen Tyson-Thomas said.

“Because at halftime, our coach told us that we were getting out-rebounded, so that just gave us a little bit more motivation to get to the boards, and we started making shots.”

The rebounding also created more chances for the Orange’s perimeter players. Freshman guard La’Shay Taft came off the bench and hit four 3-pointers, three of them after Hillsman had made his two simple adjustments.

Syracuse’s offense shined while the Orange got the ball into the paint and crashed the boards. And defensively, SU simply had to get a hand up on the Big Red’s shooters.

“It’s one of those things where you have the same player getting the same look every time,” Hillsman said. “It’s a simple adjustment. And the adjustment was just — go get her. It wasn’t a scheme thing. It was like she’s in front of you — go get her.” zjbrown@syr.edu

Effort of swarming defense forces 26 turnovers in win

By Michael Cohen Asst. Copy Editor

One play by Carmen Tyson-Thomas embodied the change in the Syracuse women’s basketball team’s mentality. It was the difference between a hard-fought, three-point win over Northeastern and a 41-point blowout over Cornell.

Near the end of the first half, Tyson-Thomas lunged after a tipped pass along the sideline.

Unable to control it, she went diving into the first row of seats to save it. She kept the ball in play, but it went right into the arms of Cornell’s Allie Munson.

Tyson-Thomas jumped up and sprinted back toward the SU basket. She leaped, yelled and emphatically blocked what appeared to be an easy layup for the Big Red’s Spencer Lane. The SU bench erupted.

“It was just a hustle play,” Tyson-Thomas said.

“I saved it, and then I just rotated on the backside. … And I whammed that thing out of bounds.”

Though Tyson-Thomas’ rejection was the highlight, her aggression on the defensive end was matched by her teammates. After a game in which the Orange gave up 14 3-pointers to Northeastern, the Syracuse defense buckled down against Cornell. SU’s active hands forced 26 Big Red turnovers — 18 of which were steals — on the way to an 86-45 lashing of a team picked to finish second-to-last in the Ivy League.

Syracuse’s defensive adjustments came after a game in which it gave up countless open looks to

Northeastern’s perimeter players. Huskies guard Rachael Pecota poured in seven 3-pointers by herself in the Orange’s comeback win on Friday.

Disappointed with the way his team played in the half-court defense and the full-court press, SU head coach Quentin Hillsman sat his players down in practice to go over the scheme in detail prior to Monday’s game.

“We got back in the gym and just really sat down and talked about what’s important in that pressure defense,” Hillsman said. “We went and we made an adjustment, and the girls really responded to what we asked them to do, so the press was very effective.”

Tyson-Thomas said the biggest adjustment the team made was effort. Instead of watching its opponent win every loose ball and take an uncontested shot, SU brought an added level of energy that wasn’t there last Friday.

This time, the defense forced Cornell into 26 turnovers, which led to 26 points at the other end of the court. During the team’s 34-4 run to pull away from the Big Red, the Orange forced 15 turnovers in a span of 12:13.

“We weren’t getting the 50-50 balls (against Northeastern),” Tyson-Thomas said. “We weren’t diving, we weren’t getting team rebounds, so that’s what we tried to work on more this game.

Hustling more, getting on the floor, diving for loose balls.”

And despite a lead of more than 40 points in the second half, that heightened level of intensity

mini sudoku

didn’t wear off.

Twice on the same possession, freshman Phylesha Bullard knocked a ball out of bounds with fewer than six minutes to play. Minutes later, fellow freshman Rachel Coffey lunged out of bounds underneath the basket and into the media table to save a ball with a 41-point lead and the game already well in hand.

Four players on the SU roster had at least three steals Monday night. And the team’s 18 total steals were equal to the number of points Cornell scored in the second half.

“We always come to the next game prepared, making up for the stuff that we didn’t do last game,” junior forward Iasia Hemingway said.

In addition to getting its hands in the passing lane, Syracuse also cut down on the amount of open 3-pointers it allowed. After 61 percent of the points it allowed to Northeastern came from behind the 3-point arc, Syracuse allowed six fewer triples to the Big Red. The zone was active in the half-court defense, and the full-court press didn’t allow Cornell to score a single fast-break point.

The team corrected some of its mistakes from Friday’s surprisingly tough three-point win, Hillsman said. Now he has to hope the defensive pressure sticks around.

“Obviously it’s a better night from last time,” he said. “I’m very happy that we took care of some deficiencies.” mjcohe02@syr.edu

DETROIT VS. SYRACUSE TONIGHT, 7 P.M., CARRIER DOME

By Tony Olivero ASST. SPORTS EDITOR

P

BIG SURPRISE In reversal of expectations, Melo struggles, Moussa Keita impresses

dave trotman-wilkins | staff photographer FAB MELO (TOP) AND BAYE MOUSSA KEITA (BOTTOM) have each taken different paths thus far from their preseason expectations. Melo has consistently gotten into foul trouble, while Moussa Keita has provided a spark off the Orange’s bench.

rior to Syracuse’s first practice of the 2010 season, head coach Jim Boeheim lauded the progression of one of SU’s center recruits in the Class of 2010.

But Boeheim was not talking about the perceived jewel of the class — Fab Melo.

Boeheim was speaking of the other center, Baye Moussa Keita. And after SU’s 86-67 win over Canisius Sunday, Boeheim took the time out to remind everyone.

“I said in the preseason he’s been the biggest surprise on our team,” Boeheim said. “He still has a long way to go, but he’s an active player.”

Surprise, surprise.

Moussa Keita will look to keep up his play while Melo hopes to bounce back, as Syracuse (2-0) prepares to take on Detroit (0-1) Tuesday at 7 p.m. in the Carrier Dome.

After two games in which Boeheim was irate at the play of the SU’s bench players and freshmen who were supposed to bring depth to the team, Moussa Keita has been the biggest positive surprise for the Orange.

Through two games, Moussa Keita has logged 17.5 minutes per game. And in Sunday’s win, he hauled in an astounding 15 rebounds in just 17 minutes of play, albeit against a much smaller Canisius team.

In that postgame press conference, during which Boeheim asserted that no freshman has done anything of significance yet, the one person he singled out aside from his main four returning players was Moussa Keita. Yes, he would ream his bench in the locker room and press room about the fact that they hadn’t done anything yet to prove they lived up to the hype. They were “overrated.” But Moussa Keita was the one who wasn’t. He was the surprise.

He was a necessity, even if he wasn’t an expectation.

“We wouldn’t have won tonight without him,” Boeheim said, before drilling home the point with another short sentence. “That’s how important he is.”

The expected freshman necessity heading into the season was Melo. He would bring the depth down low to get past the Sweet 16. He would bring scoring.

He would become the low-post presence everyone expected, as he was named the Big East Preseason Rookie of the Year.

Melo has been a surprise through two games. But to Moussa Keita’s positive yin, Melo has been the negative yang. Melo started both games but averaged just three points. The more discouraging statistic is that Melo has seven total rebounds in the two games.

But perhaps the most discouraging part of his game has been that Melo hasn’t been able to keep himself on the floor. Against Northern Iowa, Melo fouled out.

wanted everybody to believe in his philosophy and his values.”

And it was clear Marrone felt the same way Saturday after the Orange’s win. To get to this point, Marrone knew it would be a long road.

So in his three-minute opening statement Saturday — noticeably longer than usual, given the circumstances — Marrone went all the way

back to his playing days under thenSU head coach Dick MacPherson. But perhaps the most surprising group he thanked was last year’s group of seniors, who helped start the process.

It only led to a 4-8 season in Marrone’s first year at the helm, but the SU head coach recognized the part the group played in getting Syracuse back
