hen Terry Rozier’s shot rimmed out and the clock ran out, Denzel Valentine and Bryn Forbes started running toward the Michigan State bench — their mouths wide open and their arms imitating airplane wings.

The Spartans held a six-point lead and Rozier’s shot had no chance of swaying the final outcome. MSU head coach Tom Izzo stood in place while pandemonium ensued around him, soaking in his seventh Final Four bid.

Forbes and Valentine dodged their teammates and coaches that poured onto the Carrier Dome floor, harnessing the same characteristic

Untouchability.

“I had so much energy and happiness and everything was running through my head,” Forbes said. “And I just couldn’t stop. I had to keep moving and just live the moment out.

No one could catch me.”

It took two halves and an overtime period, but the Spartans eventually edged fourth-seeded Louisville to win the East Regional on Sunday afternoon. Travis Trice — named the regional’s most outstanding player — led MSU with 17 points and iced the game with two free throws before Rozier’s miss pushed the Spartans to the see michigan

Ticket scalpers see tough market at East Regional

By Chris Libonati staff writer

As Marshall Street flooded with people ahead of Sunday’s Elite Eight matchup between Louisville and Michigan State, a hand soared above the crowd clutching five tickets to the game.

“Tickets, who needs ‘em?” the man said.

He leaned in and offered the tickets as an Audi SUV drove by.

The driver stopped the car and the man gave his price, but the driver shook his head, rolled up his window and continued down Marshall Street.

A puffy, black North Face

jacket, worn jeans and a black knit skullcap with a gray stripe at the bottom sheltered Howard Booker from the breeze as he scalped tickets. For the most part, Booker’s inquiries fell on unlistening ears.

The tickets he was scalping had plummeted in value.

Tickets in the third level of the Carrier Dome, namely in the corners, had a face value of $75, but StubHub could sell the tickets for around $20.

“What really sets the whole thing off is the teams that played in here,” said Shawn Morrison, Booker’s friend who also scalps tickets. “If we had a Kentucky see scalpers page 6

University Union plans to announce the artists that will be performing at this year’s MayFest and Block Party events “very, very soon.”

Alli Reich, co-director of public relations for University Union, said she can’t say for sure when the announcement will happen, though.

MayFest and Block Party make up UU’s annual full-day spring music event. MayFest and Block Party typically occur on the fourth Friday of April, with MayFest starting at about 1 p.m. in Walnut Park and Block Party beginning at 6 p.m. in the Carrier Dome. But students across campus have been growing restless as UU has yet to announce the artists for this year’s events.

We’re almost there though, just keep hanging in.

I promise it will be very soon.

Reich, a senior drama major in the College of Visual and Performing Arts, said there is no specific reason why it is taking longer than usual for UU to announce the artists for this year’s MayFest and Block Party.

“It’s not really up to us,” Reich said. “It depends more on the artists.”

Sophomore’s startup looks to improve parking

By Momin Rafi design editor

Michael Oviosu is looking to shake up the U.S. parking industry.

Over the past year, Oviosu has co-founded a new startup idea, ParkAmigo. He hopes the business will bypass the long struggle to find parking spaces with the service it provides.

“We’re looking to disrupt the $30 billion dollar parking industry by providing a cost-effective and safe alternative to parking in busy neighborhoods,” Michael Oviosu said.

The sophomore economics major from Lagos, Nigeria has invested most of his time and efforts since 2014 into developing a service that allows homeowners to rent out their driveways as parking space.

“The idea came, like a lot of them do, from a really bad experience I had,” Oviosu said. “We were driving around (Washington, D.C.) for ages just looking for a parking spot, and that’s where ParkAmigo was born… I don’t think anyone needs to spend 25 minutes like I did.”

His co-founder and head of technology, Natã Barbosa, who created ParkAmigo with Oviosu when he was a visiting student at SU last year,

is heavily involved with the construction of ParkAmigo. He’s currently finishing his undergraduate education in Brazil.

Oviosu said he had to teach himself a lot of skills to create ParkAmigo, but received help from many advisers at the College of Arts and Sciences along the way.

“It’s been a really long project, and we’re nearing the final stages,” Oviosu said.

The road ahead includes two competitions which Oviosu hopes to win to secure fundraising — the Panasci Business Plan Competition and the RvD IDEA Awards. Beyond that lies the launch of the startup’s

website, the rollout of the app and finally, the beginning of business.

“We’re confident that we have what it takes,” Oviosu said. “The support we’ve received from students in Syracuse University and several professors has been very helpful and inspiring.” mrafi@syr.edu | @Mominat0r

Sports expo creates inclusive atmosphere for all

By Delaney Van Wey staff writer

In the midst of this weekend’s NCAA Tournament East Regional contests, both people with and without disabilities came together for their own March Madness in a game of wheelchair basketball.

Hundreds of community members gathered in Flanagan Gymnasium this past Saturday to play, watch and learn about accessible athletics at the 4th annual OrangeAbility Accessible Athletics Expo. In addition to wheelchair basketball, the event offered

hand cycles, sled hockey, wheelchair quidditch and a professional rugby game between the Western New York Wreckers and the Ottawa Stingrays.

The expo, which was open to the public, was organized by numerous organizations, including the Disability Student Union, Disability Cultural Center, the Department of Recreation Services and Move Along, Inc., a community non-profit.

Eddie Zaremba, the co-chair of OrangeAbility and founder of the Disability Student Union, said this collaboration is part of an effort to work with the community and rep-

resent a wide array of people.

Zaremba said the Disability Student Union and the Disability Cultural Center were the first to work together on this project, which is run by students with support from the organizations. Zaremba said facilitating an event like OrangeAbility is important to these groups because recreation and sport are crucial parts of life and should be accessible to all.

Christy Kalebic, co-chair of OrangeAbility and Disability Student Union President, said the expo is about complete inclusivity and allowing everyone, regardless of

organization is key Here are the organizations who helped organize the expo:

• Disability Student Union • Disability Cultural Center • Department of Recreation Services • Move Along, Inc. mobility challenges, to participate.

An open forum was held Friday at Bird Library for Louis Altman, an Americans with Disabilities Act coordinator candidate, to share his vision and answer questions from students, faculty and staff.

The hour-long forum began at 2:30 p.m. and was attended by about 30 members of the Syracuse Univer-

He began the forum with a presentation entitled “Refract The Light: Inclusion of people with disabilities at Syracuse University.”

editorial board

Greek organizations should work to improve council interactions In light of the negative exposure Greek life organizations have received in the past few weeks, Syracuse University’s fraternities and sororities should work to combat prejudice on campus and improve the relationships among the different Greek life governing councils.

The integrity of Greek life was questioned nationally after the exposure of a racist chant performed by Sigma Alpha Epsilon brothers at the University of Oklahoma. It would be ignorant to assume that the actions of those individuals represent SU students involved in Greek life, who make up roughly 25 percent of the student body,

but as addressed by SU’s Interfraternity Council in an email to the student body on March 20, “What happened in Oklahoma is not an anomaly.”

At SU there are 71 Greek-letter organizations, organized by five governing councils: the IFC, the Panhellenic Council, the Multicultural Greek Association, the National Pan-Hellenic Council and the National Association of Latino Fraternal Organizations. These councils include fraternities and sororities that are identified as historically male, female, Jewish, black, Latino and Asian, among other designations. While these designations are valuable, members should make

sure they are not barriers between communities.

Both IFC President James Ogden and NALFO President Andres Rivera, Jr. said that there is a happy working relationship between the Greek life governing councils at SU, but acknowledged that there is room for improvement.

Rivera said that while there are interactions and collaborations between the different boards, they aren’t widespread.

In light of the national conversation about diversity in Greek life, the individuals involved in these groups at SU should make conscious efforts to improve the communication between

councils. Rather than reaching out to the same organizations the fraternities and sororities regularly socialize with, there should be interactions between all different groups. This change can happen on a small scale, such as invitations to and participation in philanthropies hosted by organizations in differing councils.

These are small steps that can help unify the different councils over time, creating a space for conversation about racism, sexism and other perceived biases. It may not solve the broader issue of prejudice, but it’s an opportunity to begin addressing it.

Wisconsin voter ID laws do not accurately represent GOP concerns

I

t is official. The Frank v. Walker voter identification appeal was rejected by the Supreme Court.

The law will require voters to present photo identification in order to cast their ballot. Acceptable types of identification will include a valid Wisconsin driver’s license, a passport, a military ID or an ID card from a Wisconsin college or university, according to Reuters. This law will not be going into action for the state’s April 7 elections, but it will be implemented in 2016.

The typical Republican argument in favor of the law is that it is necessary in order to prevent voter fraud. However, while voter ID laws are usually considered to be supported by conservatives, this is not always the case. In fact, many

VICTORIA RAZZI CANDIDLY CONSERVATIVE

influential Republican figures who represent the foundations of fundamental conservative beliefs are very against the notion of implementing voter ID laws, and for good reason.

Voter ID laws are discriminatory and needless. The argument that they are necessary to combat voter-impersonation fraud is invalid because of the blatant lack of evidence that it even occurs in the first place. “Out of 146 million registered voters, this is a ratio of one case of voter fraud for every 14.6 million eligible voters,”

as stated in an opinion, written on behalf of five judges on the 7th Circuit by conservative Judge Richard A. Posner.

Judge Posner has said, “There is only one motivation for imposing burdens on voting that are ostensibly designed to discourage voter-impersonation fraud,” he writes, “and that is to discourage voting by persons likely to vote against the party responsible for imposing the burdens.”

One of the most revered conservative politicians, former president Ronald Reagan made a very influential case against the implementation of voter ID laws. He signed a 25-year extension of the Voter Rights Act of 1965 into law, which ballot requirements today are modeled after. “As I’ve

said before, the right to vote is the crown jewel of American liberties, and we will not see its luster diminished,” said Reagan.

One of the enticing aspects of living in America is that every citizen is promised the right to vote and have a say in deciding their future.

The evidence against voter identification laws far outweighs the arguments in their favor.

In addition, voter ID laws are not necessarily a conservative belief supported by the Republican party. Voter ID laws are fundamental violations of American rights and liberties, and many conservatives recognize this as the truth.

letter to the editor

Divestment trumps senior giving efforts Considering making a senior gift?

Think twice. Your lack of financial support could promote more positive global change than your gift could.

Fossil fuel companies contribute significantly to global climate change and pollution of our precious natural resources. It is wrong for Syracuse University to financially support these companies, as the role of a university is to support the future of its students. Yet, SU makes a political statement in support of devastating climate change by remaining invested in fossil fuel companies.

Furthermore, fossil fuels are not a wise investment. As our global economy shifts away from the finite resources of coal and oil and towards modern technology like renewable energy, their stock will become vulnerable.

SU does not have direct investments in fossil fuels; in fact, they do not directly invest in anything. However, SU is invested in fossil fuels indirectly

through mutual funds. The Socially Responsible Investment Matters Committee has made a commitment towards minimizing such exposure but has not yet begun making any steps in this direction.

The sustainable initiatives that SU has already enacted on campus are certainly commendable. Solar panels, energy efficiency, and signing the Presidents’ Climate Commitment, to name a few, are wonderful steps in the right direction.

In order to remain a global leader in sustainability, SU needs to extend its leadership on climate change into its investment portfolio.

For these reasons, students and alumni considering making donations to SU should withhold them until administrators decide to stand on the right side of history and divest from fossil fuels.

Please don’t misconstrue my message. I am not saying that students

scribble

and alumni should not make financial gifts to SU. On the contrary, gifts from alumni are very important and are even factored into college and university rankings. Students and alumni should give to SU, but they should know what kind of future their dollars are supporting and instead use those dollars to send a message.

SU does not deserve your money until they make a stand to support your future on a livable planet with clean water and clean air. After all, what good is a degree if there is no planet to use it on?

Don’t let your hard-earned dollars fund the climate crisis.

Please sign our petition on change.org, entitled, “I pledge to withhold donations until SU divests from fossil fuels!”

Heinz-Kraft merger shows pre-packaged food industry troubles

I

f you love your mac and cheese with ketchup, you’ve probably already heard about the blockbuster news: Heinz and Kraft are merging. Last week, Brazilian investment group 3G Capital worked with Warren Buffett, who is a co-owner of Heinz, to strike a deal that would acquire Kraft Foods and merge the company with Heinz. The new company would become the world’s fifth largest food and beverage company.

But before you break out the celebratory Oscar Mayer hot dogs with Heinz mustard, you might want to take a look at the numbers. The consolidation of the two massive companies is actually a reflection of a weakening packaged foods industry.

Prior to the merger, Kraft had been struggling to bring in the cheddar.

BRIAN CHEUNG morning foods sales in the U.S. fell 7.7 I’M A BUSINESS, MAN

The company had gone through several deals to restructure and improve profits. The latest move came in 2012, when Kraft decided to split itself into two companies: one called Kraft Foods Group focusing on packaged foods — like Jell-O and Planters — and one called Mondelez International — focusing on snack foods, like Oreos and Chips Ahoy.

But despite isolating its portfolio of groceries, Kraft Food Groups continued to struggle. Campbell Soup said its sales of condensed soup in the U.S. fell 11 percent in the most recent quarter, while Kellogg reported its Asst. News Editor Sara Swann Asst. News Editor Lydia Wilson Asst.

percent.

The packaged food industry is on the losing side of new American consumer trends. American eaters are no longer shopping for convenient, familiar brand names; they’ve started ditching processed and pre-packaged Velveeta cheese for fresh cheese sliced at the Cheese Shop at Wegmans.

Although packaged foods are often the cheapest option, Americans are becoming obsessed with foods labeled as organic, free-trade, locally-sourced and/or healthy.

Need examples? People are choosing to eat Chobani over Dannon yogurt and Kashi cereal over Frosted Flakes. Whole Foods, a company that prides itself for its organic food selection, has steady increased in share

price over the last five years. Chipotle, which readily advertises its locally sourced ingredients, is sitting a stock price six times as large as it was five years ago.

This makes sense when considering the link between consumer tastes and the state of the economy.

The pressure of the 2008 recession forced consumers to think budget for all their food purchases, increasing sales of canned foods. Of the 500 companies listed in Standard & Poor’s 500 Index, 499 fell when Wall Street suffered the worst points fall in its history on September 29, 2008. Only one company saw gains that day: Campbell Soup Company.

More than six years later, the recession has passed and consumers are feeling better about spending

their money on more expensive foods. Thus, companies whose core businesses are cheap, packaged food options are feeling the pain.

The decision to merge Heinz and Kraft is actually a great business move. By combining two companies with complimenting brands, there will be a larger company with more resources to weather the new consumer trends.

So if you’d like to invest in the new Heinz-Kraft, go ahead and mix your mac and cheese with your ketchup.

Just remember that there are healthier options out there.

Almost as soon as the game ended, Michigan State players wore hats that that said “Regional Champs” and shirts that said “Cut Down The Net.” And while two ladders were placed under the rim for them to do so, the Cardinals plodded off the court through a sea of Spartan green.

A year ago, fourth-seeded Michigan State fell to eventual champion Connecticut in the Elite Eight. The Huskies, like MSU, were a seven seed blazing through favored opponent after favored opponent. The Spartans are on an eerily similar run, already edging secondseeded Virginia in the Round of 32, thirdseeded Oklahoma in the Sweet 16 and now the

Cardinals in their latest upset.

“Spartan nation showed up tonight,” Izzo yelled as MSU accepted the East Regional trophy on a stage near center court. “They didn’t make it easy, but we’re going to the Final Four.”

From there, Izzo faded to the background and let his team enjoy the moment — players like Trice, Valentine and Branden Dawson, among other returnees, were finally able to shake last year’s Elite Eight loss.

Former Spartans guard and NBA Hall of Famer Earvin “Magic” Johnson took questions in a crowd of TV cameras. Spartans adjusted their flat-brim hats and repeatedly hugged one another. The only fans left in the Dome wore green and chanted “Go White! ... Go Green!” across the court while holding iPhone cameras in front of their faces.

One by one, the Michigan State players walked up the ladder in front of the net to cut a piece off.

Lourawls “Tum Tum” Nairn, Jr., whose pesky on-ball defense helped the Spartans hold the Cardinals to just five made field goals after shooting 53 percent in the first half, slowly stepped on each rung before raising his piece and inciting a large cheer from the crowd.

Valentine, who made big play after big play down the stretch, pumped his arms in the air to ask for more noise.

Dawson, whose putback off a Forbes miss gave MSU a two-possession lead with 36 seconds left in overtime, had trouble cutting off a piece and looked back at his laughing teammates for guidance.

After Trice cut off his sliver, a small piece

of the net still dangled from the rim. The players looked around for Izzo, who was standing behind the ring of reporters on the 3-point arc and smiling at his team.

“Go cut down the last of it, Tom,” a Michigan State athletics representative said.

“No, I want the seniors and those guys to do it,” Izzo answered.

But no one wanted anyone but Izzo to touch the last remnants of the Spartans win. His players waved him closer to the ladder. The crowd chanted “Izzo! Izzo! Izzo!”

So he obliged, leaning on Trice before stepping up the ladder, snipping off the last bit of the net and raising it high above his head.

And in a very disappointing year for basketball in Syracuse, one team was able to use the city as a springboard to greater things.

in. I promise it will be very soon.”

Last year, the artists for Block Party — Zedd, 2Chainz and Brazzabelle — were announced on Feb. 23, 2014.

A$AP Ferg, AraabMUZIK and Joywave were announced as the performers for the 2014 MayFest a few days later on Feb. 26, 2014.

Two years ago, the Block Party announcement had a similar timetable to this year when it wasn’t announced until March 31, 2013 that Ke$ha would be performing at the event. The artists for the 2013 MayFest — Earl Sweatshirt, Sound Remedy and The Chainsmokers — were announced about a week later

on April 7, 2013.

In addition, Ke$ha’s supporting acts for the 2013 Block Party, Trey Songz and Drop City Yacht Club, weren’t announced until April 16, 2013, just 10 days before the 2013 MayFest and Block Party, according to the UU Facebook page.

Armed with a wallet to buy unwanted tickets and an iPhone holstered horizontally on his hip, Booker did not just work alone. At least two others helped along South Crouse Avenue.

If one of them had a customer they could match with a ticket, Booker could make a call and he’d turn from scalper to broker.

Less than 10 minutes after Booker showed

up at the corner, his friends tried selling tickets with a face value of about $90 for $80. They told the couple looking for tickets they were going for $100.

“You’re not going to make money selling those motherf*ckers so cheap,” he said.

Booker would know. He grew up in Chicago around Soldier Field and Wrigley Field, where the Bears and Cubs play, respectively. As a kid, he sold peanuts at games and estimates he started scalping tickets in the 1970s.

Since then he has scalped tickets at the

Super Bowl, the Indianapolis 500 and the World Series. While ticket scalping isn’t his sole source of income — he owns a landscaping business called Hobo Landscaping — he takes road trips to scalp tickets and earn money on the side.

This tournament had been tougher, though.

With so many tickets available, and available at such a cheap price, it was difficult to flip tickets, he said.

But Booker has been able to make money even in a buyer’s market.

Booker stood outside Bruegger’s Bagels on South Crouse Avenue with less than 15 minutes until Sunday’s 2:20 p.m. tip-off. A couple approached Booker for tickets and he told them he’d sell them for $50 apiece.

“These are real?” the man said.

“I don’t play games with you,” Booker said.

“This is what we do.”

Truth is, Booker paid just $10 for them. The majority of his tickets come from fans that simply have extras and are not willing to spend the time to sell them at face value.

Even with the game having tipped off, Booker had at least five tickets he could flip.

He started again: “Tickets, who needs ‘em?”

This time, it fell against the backdrop of engines humming, brakes screeching and the feet of the few stragglers left hitting the sidewalk. He waited just a few minutes.

While he hadn’t sold all his tickets, and he hadn’t lately been going to games he scalped at, he finally headed to the Carrier Dome to watch Michigan State advance to the Final Four.

SUNY-ESF students collaborate to design, build highly efficient solar house for decathlon

C

onstruction officially began last Tuesday on a solar house that produces twice the energy it consumes.

The house, called a GRoW Home, was designed by a team of students from the University at Buffalo and the State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry. GRoW stands for Garden, Relax or Work, the lifestyle message behind the home and one that Martha Bohm, a professor at UB, is trying to promote.

This project is being built for the Solar Decathlon, which is a competition held every two years and sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy that challenges collegiate teams across the globe to design, build and operate a house that uses less energy than it produces. The next part of the competition will take place in the fall in Irvine, California when all the pieces will be shipped to California and construction will continue there.

“It is a collaborative project, it is interdisciplinary and it has been a really fun experience for me as a faculty member to have something that is not just the genius of one person, but is the genius of many people who have many different skills that are coming together,” Bohm said. “So hopefully with all of that genius pooled into one project, we’re going to make our schools proud.”

The architecture team at UB partnered with the landscape architecture department at SUNY-ESF in order to discover the best design for the house.

“In simplest terms, the architects design the building and the landscape architects design everything that is outside the building,” Bohm said.

Jamie Vanucchi, an assistant professor in the Department of Landscape Architecture at SUNYESF, said landscape architecture is not a major that is offered at all schools; it is different in that

Construction officially began last Tuesday on a solar house that produces twice the energy it consumes. The GRoW Home was designed by a team of students from the University at Buffalo and SUNY-ESF.

the program deals with ecological systems.

The goal is to create a house in a landscape where both the house and the landscape are active parts in creating a more sustainable environment, Vanucchi said.

It wasn’t just about a house as an object, but a way of living.

Martha Bohm professor at the university at buffalo

Vanucchi said it would be hard to find a landscape architecture project that was not multifunctional; the architects consider the ecology,

the social and cultural aspects, the history of the region and the aesthetics of the project on the whole. She said the department at SUNY-ESF looks at all of this but focuses more on the sustainable and ecological design side.

The GRoW Home has been in development for two years. There was a seminar class in spring 2013 to figure out what a sustainable house would look like in Buffalo. Those involved observed the history and architecture of Buffalo, the demographics in the area, as well as any energy concerns from an availability and cost perspective to find emerging trends in the community.

The upstate New York area predictably had very high energy costs and extreme energy demands due to climate which drove the students to create a very high-performing house.

Another thing they noticed is there was a lot of land in Buffalo being recaptured by communities for gardening purposes, including community gardens and productive farms. The team liked the idea of incorporating the garden landscape into the design of their house.

“It wasn’t just about a house as an object, but a way of living,” Bohm said.

Bohm hopes the project inspires people to think about ways of living — where food comes from, growing and purchasing food locally, reducing the energy that the entire community is spending, not just the one homeowner.

Said Bohm: “We’re not trying to change everyone’s mind but to get people thinking in a new direction.” acalwis@syr.edu

SU’s Office of Disability Services, said the office was there to show the community that it is more than just a place to facilitate accommodations.

“We want them to know we are fun,” she said.

Possenti-Perez, who is also on the board for the Disability Cultural Center, said the best part of OrangeAbility is the effort to demystify non-traditionally enrolled students and to allow them to build networks in the community.

Jeff Wright, executive director at Move Along, Inc., said community outreach is important to him, too. As an OrangeAbility

partner, Wright tries to bring in more central New York organizations every year so that the community can see what is available to them.

Wright said the power of accessible athletics to lift the spirits of the participants is invaluable.

One attendee, Anthony Canestrare, a freshman whose major is undecided, said he came to OrangeAbility because he likes to watch wheelchair basketball and thought it might be a good opportunity to meet new people. He said he would definitely come again next year.

Tori Cedar, Disability Student Union member and OrangeAbility volunteer, said the organization hopes to start doing smaller-scale sporting events more regularly.

Cedar, a freshman psychology and communication sciences and disorders dual major, also said she sees the expo as an accessible, safe space where participants can be anyone looking to socialize and be part of a group.

required to do for roughly 20 percent, or more than two hours, of their shift. The side work included general cleaning, cutting produce, refilling condiments, taking out garbage and maintaining bar and service areas.

Side work is typically assigned to ‘”back-ofthe-house” employees who receive at least the full minimum wage rate, according to the lawsuit.

Because these duties are those of a tipped worker, the suit alleges that Hankins was engaged in a “dual occupation” for which she is entitled to the full minimum wage.

Hankins also accused the chain of requiring tipped workers to engage in a “tip distribution scheme” in which they were forced to share tips with kitchen workers. They were also forced to share tips with kitchen managers in situations where there were “in-house, pre-paid” reservations, according to the lawsuit.

Kitchen workers and managers are not entitled to share tips under the FLSA or the NYLL. The suit is filed collectively against Dinosaur Restaurants, LLC, JLN-Store, Inc.,

Soros Strategic Partners LP and John Stage.

It specifically focuses on the company’s New York locations in Brooklyn, Buffalo, Harlem, Rochester, Syracuse and Troy.

The suit accuses defendants of failing to keep accurate records of wages and tips earned, or hours worked by Hankins, and said she was not provided accurate statements of these either.

Its minimal standards cannot give individuals the case-specific treatment they’re entitled to, Altman said. He added that some parts of the law could even be undone through new case law or legislation.

“Equality is not enough. The law is not enough,” he said.

Nick Holzthum, a junior information man-

agement and technology major, asked Altman what strategies he would use to assure that policies are carried out consistently and communicated more transparently on campus.

“There seems to be some discrepancies between the policies that are held by the university and how the policies are described by individual staff and faculty. And sometimes they violate the policies,” Holzthum said.

Altman responded by acknowledging the importance of consistent, sufficient policies,

but said that enforcing policies can only go so far. It will be important to reach out to and educate the SU community, building bridges of understanding throughout the campus rather than “twisting arms.”

“I would work very hard to not just do the education and outreach but to be reached out to, to get your feedback and to create a dialogue which would be perpetual,” Altman said.

“There’s no end game to inclusion.”

SU actors perform Bard play Department of Drama puts on Shakespeare’s ‘Measure for Measure’

Vendor forms relationships during 35-year career at Dome Text by Connor Grossman

ehind a 4-foot tall, navy blue wooden podium in the Carrier Dome stands a man who can sum up thousands of sporting events over parts of the last four decades with six words.

“Get tonight’s program! The souvenir program!” Joe Godley, 64, bellows down the promenade of the Carrier Dome.

He echoes the phrase hundreds of times, with the same inflection in his voice like the beating of a drum.

“Get tonight’s program! The souvenir program!

“It’s the voice that draws them in,” Godley said. “You need the voice, you need the people.”

Godley has manned his podium since the Carrier Dome opened on Sept. 20, 1980, and vended at Syracuse sporting events since he started selling Coca-Cola in Archbold Stadium in 1974.

Godley’s personable manner has led him to build relationships with people around the country. Friends and family have hosted Godley as he’s worked 30 Super Bowls, two Olympics, six Final Fours, three NFL teams and one Masters Tournament through his career.

As droves of fans filed through Gate N of the Carrier Dome on Friday night, dozens of locals — better known to him as family of 30-plus years — stopped by his podium to check in, most handing over $15 to extend the conversation, not for the program.

“Get tonight’s program! The souvenir program!

“I’ll call ya at Christmas,” he tells a father and son he’s friends with.

“And don’t you hang up on me.”

The fencing sabres slashed through the air stopping within inches of audience members and actors alike. The actors raised the sabres again and continued in screeching battle accompanied by the sound of an impressed audience.

The fast pace and fluidity of the fencing scenes were characteristic of Syracuse University Department of Drama’s production of “Measure for Measure,” by William Shakespeare. The play opened to a responsive audience Saturday night at the Loft Theater in the Syracuse Stage/SU Drama Complex.

The Shakespearean comedy is one of false virtue, secrets, hidden identities and hypocrisy. Director Celia Madeoy put a slightly modern twist on the show, bringing it forward to the 1880s using intricate costumes and stage design to carry the themes of sex, deceit and spirituality. Soulful songs were inserted into some of the scene breaks as a vehicle for transition.

“I love fencing — the fights are always fun in Shakespeare. We had a lot of training and we had a great teacher,” said Daniel Chavarriaga, a junior acting major who played the role of Duke Vincentio, the duke of Vienna — one of the central figures in the play .

Junior acting major Brady Richards said he liked the modern musical twist.

“I thought the songs were very well implemented,” he said, adding that the show played to the actors’ strengths.

Delphi Borich, a junior musical theater major, said her favorite moment of the show was a dramatic scene between the character Claudio, who was arrested for getting his lover pregnant before marriage, and his sister, Isabella. When Claudio is sentenced to death, Isabella, who is a virtuous woman, is presented with a difficult situation — Claudio will be granted pardon, but only if she sleeps with Angelo, the play’s main antagonist.

“I think the scene between Pascal Portney, who played Claudio, and Lydia Stinson, who was Isabella, was very powerful when she presents the dilemma to him. I thought that it was

godley His customers either have been buying from him for these 41 years, or walk away feeling like they have. Conversation strikes up when he shoots a “Nice shirt” at passersby wearing team gear.

“Get tonight’s program! The souvenir program!

“You tell him thank you,” Godley orders all the children whose parents buy them a program, with every one of them obliging.

Then as he’s making change, the conversation could stem off to the summer he spent in Birmingham, Alabama, living with his sister and vending for the Birmingham Barons while Michael Jordan made his brief baseball cameo with the team.

drama beautifully acted and I thought Pascal did a wonderful job of being caught in that dilemma,” Borich said.

The crowd was more or less seated on the stage with the actors, whose large skirts frequently brushed up against the front row.

Audience members were kept engaged through a variety of interactions. In the last scene, the Duke reveals his identity following a quick change.

The actor, Chavarriaga, still in disguised, handed off part of his costume, several ornate rings, to an audience member — a gesture met by a number of giggles from the audience.

“The rings were planned. I did it during a

all walked away chuckling.

Or perhaps Godley sets the stage for his favorite sporting event he vended at, when Muhammad Ali defeated Leon Spinks in their 1978 rematch at the Louisiana Superdome.

Give him a couple hundred fans at a minor league stadium or 50,000 at a world premier fight, and the same thing holds true: he’ll be heard.

“If you’re walking and he sees you two blocks down the road — it’s too late,” Sherri Redden, a ticket-taker and former classmate of Godley’s, said. “He’ll make sure you know it’s him all the way down there, and he already knows it’s you.

“There’s only one Joe — loud,” Redden said.

Out of high school, Godley got his first job as a dishwasher at Curry Cafeteria in Syracuse.

And because the restaurant was across from the U.S. Navy recruiting office, it was also the place he had his last meal before being stationed at

the U.S. naval base in Pensacola, Florida in 1970.

He drove a gas truck in Pensacola, going from plane to plane on the base to fill them up. He said deciding to join the Navy didn’t compare to the fear he had driving that truck.

“It crashes, you’re dead,” he said. “Here, I got nothin’ to worry about.

“Get tonight’s program! The souvenir program!”

Everyone certainly does seem to know the man behind the podium. The self-proclaimed best vendor in the United States has made his mark on the Carrier Dome like few others have.

Syracuse players like Carmelo Anthony and Donovan McNabb remain eternal for what they provided for the fans while they were playing. In an unprecedented manner, Godley has nearly done the same just by showing up for work since 1974.

He’s crossed paths with Anthony and McNabb when they played. He’s brushed by

Michael Jordan while vending programs, and even sold one to Vice President Joe Biden.

All of these moments, of course, stemmed from those same six words.

“Joe is Joe,” Charles Harvey, a ticket taker and friend of Godley’s for 50 years, said. “He’s a oneof-a-kind and he’ll always have a place in here.”

At 64 years old, Godley is approaching a time where he thinks retirement is on the horizon.

He pegged it at six more years — because 70 is a good number — when he might step away.

He may stick around to be an usher, because there’s too much that he’s done in one building to just leave it all behind him. But he’s always looking forward — forward to the crowds of people he’ll inevitably share his stories with, and forward to at least the next six years.

Said Godley: “Joe’s not done. He’s still got it in his blood.” cgrossma@syr.edu | @connorgrossman

rehearsal and I was just like, I freaking love it, I’m keeping it,” Chavarriaga said, laughing.

The intimate staging had the audience laughing, gasping and engaged for nearly three hours.

“It felt great to have an audience and it seemed like they were with us the whole time, laughter and gasps,” said Alen Ghavami, sophomore acting major.

Many dramatic moments were punctuated by small bursts of comic relief provided by a number of characters often played by the same actors. Ghavami played three roles in the play, two of which received some of the biggest laughs of the evening.

“I love playing the drunkard. He’s my favorite,” Ghavami said. “I’m in a straitjacket but I feel there’s no limits with him. He’s definitely my favorite.” rcgilber@syr.edu

FAST FUSION Korean-Chinese restaurant Mok Hwa offers quick service, authentic flavors

By Rose Aschebrock staff writer

D

ue to the close geographic proximity of China and Korea, it is not uncommon for the two cuisines to be found sideby-side. But in Mok Hwa, a restaurant just located off the Syracuse University campus, the cuisines are fused together.

When I arrived in Mok Hwa, the small, modern-looking restaurant was filled with student and faculty customers. The waitress promptly greeted me and asked to sit.

Despite being busy, she quickly brought me ice water and three little bowls. One contained yellow cubes that she told me were spiced radish. They were coated in a sweet, spicy orange sauce and were really crunchy. The second contained steamed bean sprouts in the same colored orange sauce, which tasted less sweet.

The final bowl contained cubes of soft, sweet potato in a light brown marinade. It literally melted in my mouth.

I tried to order the wonton soup but was informed the restaurant was out, so the waitress recommended that I try the hot and sour soup.

It arrived in an average size bowl, generous for its price. It looked a lot like egg drop soup and consisted of a clear, goopy liquid with strands of cooked egg whites floating around. It was delicious, earthy and slightly peppery in taste. It contained rectangular tofu pieces, tender mushrooms and little chopped spring onions. The soup was thick, so it didn’t have the same slimy texture that I associate with egg drop soup.

The waitress also brought a little bowl of miso soup. I did not order it and am not 100 percent sure if it was complimentary or a mistake. Regardless, it was the best miso soup I ever had, having the perfect balance between salty and the rich, silky taste of soy. It had no

seaweed pieces, but contained tiny tofu cubes which sunk to the bottom. I greedily finished it and wished the waitress would make another mistake and bring me another.

For the main dish, I ordered the beef bulgogi. It’s a dish made up of thinly sliced beef strips marinated in a sweet Korean barbecue sauce. It arrived, still sizzling, in a high stack on a hot black dish. The beef pieces were tender and easily ripped apart. The sauce on this was delicious — sweet and tasted similar to a teriyaki sauce, but thinner and filled with onions and rich mushrooms.

This meal also came with a small bowl of white rice in a little tin pot, but I actually

wished they brought another bowl or plate out for this dish. It was very hard to eat the rice and the marinated beef together, since both plates were so packed with food.

I also ordered the popular beef bi bim bap meal. Its bottom layer was white rice. It was topped — in beautifully presented and separated segments — with mushrooms, carrots, cucumber, white onion, bean sprouts and seaweed leaves. In the center was minced beef that had been lightly seasoned and cooked in sesame oil, with a fried egg sprinkled with little seaweed strips.

I initially thought it looked like quite a small serving, but I was stuffed by the end.

Everything was so fresh, and despite being steamed, the vegetables were still crisp and crunchy. The flavor of the beef had run through the dish and lightly crystalized the rice at the base, making it really chewy and crunchy, which I loved. The rice was also sticky rice, making it easy to attack with my minimal chopstick skills but not at all gooey.

The service was very minimal and efficient, so if you’re looking for something fresh and healthy to eat and don’t have a ton of time on your hands, you should definitely visit Mok Hwa. It’s definitely more expensive for a quick meal, but it’s worth it for the taste and quality. rlascheb@syr.edu

Great Danes’ 18.4 goals per game will play a crucial role in SU’s chance to win.

Desko said he thought Near’s game-winning shot on Saturday — an unassisted liner that whizzed to the left of Wardwell’s helmet — was actually another save until he saw the Fighting Irish celebrating a thrilling victory.

But UND’s No. 1 ranking, which it’s expected to take over on Monday in the latest poll, was hard earned.

With 5:37 left in regulation, a rocket shot from Trevor Brosco ricocheted off Wardwell and popped high in the air. On SU’s next possession, Tim Barber tied the game for the first time since the first quarter with an unassisted goal.

It was a game that Desko said either team could have won, largely in part to the play of Wardwell who helped propel the comeback on the defensive end.

Said Donahue: “I thought Bob played unbelievable.” sblum@syr.edu | @SamBlum3

notre dame Monday could be beat.

“Anybody could’ve won that game,” Desko said.

The emotion that was drained from SU when the Fighting Irish poured onto the field after Near’s game-winning goal mirrored that of the beginning of the game.

Jordan Evans airmailed a wide-open Kevin Rice to turn the ball over. After Rice fell to the ground while missing a contested shot, he slammed his stick to the turf. Shane Doss, Notre Dame’s goalie, saved a ball while sitting on his butt.

No matter the situation, the Syracuse offense couldn’t gain any traction.

Williams was winning faceoffs, but he was forced backward or closed in on before he could advance too far forward.

An SU attack that was again missing the injured Randy Staats lacked the flare that the senior normally delivers since UND’s Matt Landis clamped down on Rice.

And a multi-dimensional offense was able

to swing the ball enough and effectively move in transition to catch Syracuse’s defense on its heels.

But the Orange cut the deficit to 9-6 and after Notre Dame scored, SU responded with three more of its own. Donahue even put the Orange ahead for the first time at 12-11, but it was Finley responded with a goal straight off a faceoff to send the game to overtime.

“That shocked us,” Desko said.

And when Near beat Bobby Wardwell after curling around the cage with 2:54 left in the second overtime, stealing both a win and the nation’s No. 1 spot in the process, it culminated the exposure of the slightest imperfections in a previously perfect team.

“Even being down 9-3, we never felt that we were out of the game,” Mullins said. “I think that’s a great characteristic that our team has and we showed that we were able to come back from such a deficit.”

But even so, the Fighting Irish showed the rest of the country how to fit each piece to the puzzle that solves how to beat the Orange. mcschnei@syr.edu | @matt_schneidman

Syracuse squanders 3-run lead in 13-7 loss to Louisville Despite a seven-run fourth inning, Syracuse (12-17, 0-6 Atlantic Coast) lost to Louisville (22-8, 11-1), 13-7, in the finale of a three-game series in Louisville, Kentucky.

As she did in the first two games Saturday, Jocelyn Cater started the game and took the loss. Cater gave up 19 hits and 13 runs, 10 of them earned.

Cater struck out four, tying for her lowest total in more than three innings of work this season.

Down 4-0 in the fourth inning, the Orange found its only offensive spark of the day when second baseman Julie Wambold walked to lead off the inning.

After a fielder’s choice allowed shortstop Corinne Ozanne to reach base, first baseman Sydney O’Hara singled to score SU’s first run of the game. She is currently riding a five-game hitting streak.

Three batters later, left fielder Rachel Burk-

hardt clocked the first home run of her career, scoring three batters for the freshman’s first three RBIs, giving SU a 5-4 lead. Later in the inning, right fielder Maddi Doane and center fielder Mary Dombrowski scored on an error to give SU a three-run cushion.

But SU wouldn’t manage another hit the rest of the game and just one base runner from a seventh-inning walk. Though Cater made it to the seventh inning with a 7-6 lead, she

couldn’t hold it in the final stanza.

On the strength of eight hits and two errors, Louisville scored seven runs in the top of the seventh to take a 13-7 lead. Syracuse was the home team since the series had to be moved to Louisville after the SU field was deemed unplayable.

Syracuse’s next game is Wednesday at Fordham (14-13, 2-2 Atlantic 10) at 3 p.m.

Orange struggles in doubles matches, falls 7-0 to Seminoles Despite breaking out of a doubles slump by taking the doubles point on Friday, Syracuse reverted to its struggles by losing two quick doubles matches that sent the match in a bad direction on Sunday afternoon.

And things didn’t improve from there.

After snapping a four-match losing streak on Friday afternoon, Syracuse (7-9, 2-8

Atlantic Coast) lost to Florida State (11-7, 4-5) 7-0 on Sunday in Tallahassee, Florida.

It was the team’s fourth shutout loss out in seven matches in March.

After their resilient doubles victory on Friday, senior Amanda Rodgers and sophomore Rhiann Newborn only took two games in their 8-2 loss to Gabriella Castaneda and Emily Fanning, the No.

40 doubles team in the country.

Senior Breanna Bachini and freshman Nicole Mitchell failed to win a single game in their match, and the Seminoles won the doubles point.

Sophomore Valeria Salazar and senior Komal Safdar, the No. 59 doubles team, only played three games of their match before it was halted.

The woes continued for the Orange in singles play, as Safdar was the only player to win a set.

She won her first set 6-3, but her strong start wasn’t enough to earn a point for Syracuse as she lost the next two 3-6, 4-6.

At the number one singles spot, Rodgers lost the first set 6-2, and she found an identi-

cal result in the second.

Both Newborn and Mitchell also lost their matches 6-2, 6-2.

Bachini played a closer first set, taking four games before losing 6-4. But she didn’t match that tally in her second set, only winning one game.

Of all the singles players besides Safdar, Salazar was the most successful. She fought in the first set to keep things even at six games a piece, but then lost the tiebreak and the second set 7-5 to lose the match.

The Orange takes a break from action next weekend and will resume play against Wake Forest (12-9, 2-7) in Winston-Salem, North Carolina on Saturday, April 11.

SU ties game 5 times, never takes lead in 10-9 loss to DU Every time Syracuse made a comeback, Duke answered.

In their 10-9 victory, the Blue Devils lost their lead five times. And while the Orange managed to repeatedly tie the game, SU never pulled ahead.

When Duke finally took a shot after passing up open looks and running off some clock, Syracuse goalie Kelsey Richardson made a save, but Syracuse’s Brenna Rainone turned the ball over.

And when SU got the ball back, Halle Majorana turned it back over and the Orange lost possession for good.

In its first game since the indefinite suspension of starting midfielder Kelly Cross, No. 6 Syracuse (8-4, 1-2 Atlantic Coast) fell to No. 4 Duke (10-1, 4-1) by one on Saturday afternoon in Durham, North Carolina. Kayla Treanor’s team-high three goals weren’t enough to avoid the Orange’s third one-goal loss of the year and its second in a row.

Fourteen minutes passed after freshman attack Riley Donahue tied the game at one and the Blue Devils rattled off three goals in a fiveminute span to take a 4-1 lead.

But three minutes later, Syracuse answered with its own 3-0 run on goals from Treanor, Taylor

Gait and Majorana. Despite the momentum, the Orange was unable to break the tie and went into halftime trailing 5-4.

After Duke struck first in the second half, midfielder Taylor Poplawski cut the lead back down to one. Treanor then tied the game up at six, and Duke answered.

She tied it at seven, and Duke answered again.

Erica Bodt tied it at eight, and Duke answered for the fifth time after a tie.

But Syracuse’s Mallory Vehar picked up the ensuing draw control, giving the Orange possession and Treanor a chance to add to her

three-goal performance.

She shook off her defender with a shoulder fake, attacked the goal and unleashed a shot only to be saved by Duke’s Kelsey Duryea with just under 18 minutes left to play.

Thirty-eight seconds later, the Blue Devils scored their final goal of the game, which would prove to be enough despite numerous Syracuse comeback attempts.

Syracuse will face Virginia Tech (5-7, 0-4) next Saturday in the Carrier Dome.

talked about his moment of fame — coming in cold off the bench with three and a half minutes left in the second half to sink a free throw and press the East Regional’s most outstanding player, Travis Trice, while Blackshear’s nose was being treated.

Six-foot-10 sophomore Mangok Mathiang offered a quick grin as he distributed some credit to the lucky penny he wore in his size 15 right shoe for the fortunate bounce his gametying free throw took with three seconds left in regulation.

And he stored that penny — which he said he received from a Louisville media representative — in his backpack to keep for the future despite the loss.

But the optimism was still overpowered by

the dejection of the loss.

Rozier remained frozen in his chair, consoled with head rubs from teammates Shaqquan Aaron and Anton Gill, but without even acknowledging them. UofL’s leading scorer, who made just six of his 23 attempts against MSU, called the loss worse than the

Cardinals’ fallout in the Sweet 16 last year.

Then as reporters filed out of the locker room, Harrell rose out of his chair and silently walked across the room.

And starting with Rozier, Harrell quietly gave each of his teammates a handshake.

To his left was a composed but somber, now-former Cardinal Wayne Blackshear, who poured 28 points and all he had into his final game, he said. He leaned back in his blue chair and reflected on his Louisville career and the hard-fought game that gave him a bloody nose on his way out of college basketball.

But while the majority of the chatter revolved around the Cardinals’ pride in their performance, there were hints of optimism.

Louisville laments OT loss

Cards express sadness in locker room after Elite Eight loss to MSU

By Phil D’Abbraccio sports editor

With his elbows planted on his thighs, hands in front of him and his head down, Terry Rozier didn’t resemble the active, talkative Terry Rozier he’d been before Sunday afternoon.

That one was constantly moving his hands, adjusting his shorts and cracking jokes. This dejected version only mumbled words, interrupted by the occasional sniffle.

OUTH BEND, Ind. — After the game, holding the stick he’d just dominated with, Dylan Donahue summed up what had just transpired in 10 words.

“I thought our guys had a hell of a game,” he said.

For quite some time, it was just that for Syracuse — hell.

And after the game, it seemed like the same. Ben Williams stood, hands on his hips and eyeblack smeared

on his face, grimly looking down at grass outside the field. Brandon Mullins sat on a stump, still recovering from his state of shock when P.J. Finley scored straight off a faceoff to send the game to overtime.

SYRACUSE LED FOR ONLY 7 SECONDS IN ITS LOSS AT NOTRE DAME ON SATURDAY

But after everything that took place for the last two hours and 31 minutes at Arlotta Stadium, John Desko placed his glasses on his face,

peered at the stat sheet he held in his hand and acknowledged the instant classic he just helped orchestrate.

“It was just a great game for college lacrosse today,” the SU head coach said.

After falling behind 9-3 halfway through the third quarter, Syracuse clawed back. The visitors even took the lead with 1:06 left on Donahue’s seventh goal of the day, but late heroics from Notre Dame’s Finley and Jack Near ensured that a game once firmly in the Fighting Irish’s grasp would end the same way it stood just

26 seconds in, with the hosts holding a one-goal lead.

The Orange crawled back into a game it once had no business contending in. SU may have even saved claims that last week’s drubbing of Duke was a fluke of a statement win.

Syracuse’s full body of work against UND assured that it’s certainly a national title contender.

But Saturday afternoon still proved that if exploited with the right formula, the team that will fall from the country’s top ranking on see notre

Orange’s Wardwell delivers late despite loss to Irish

By Sam Blum asst. sports editor

SOUTH BEND, Ind. – As Syracuse made its push in the final quarter to turn a six-goal deficit into a one-goal lead over Notre Dame on Saturday, it

was Bobby Wardwell that did everything he could on the defensive end to make that happen.

First he saved a Nick Ossello shot with 13:20 to play in the fourth quarter. Forty-one seconds later it was a save off a Conor Doyle shot.

Two minutes after that, Sergio Perkovic tried, and failed, to get it past Wardwell.

Eleven seconds later, Dylan Donahue was celebrating his fifth goal of the day, and the Orange had cut its deficit to one.

Wardwell has made a business of playing well late in games. He made eight of his 11 saves on Saturday in the second half or overtime, just two weeks after making three of five total saves in the fourth quarter to help SU see wardwell page 12
