Osama bin Laden, the longtime leader of al-Qaeda behind the 9/11 attacks, was killed in a firefight during an operation inside Pakistan, President Barack Obama announced in a press conference late Sunday. Obama said U.S. officials were in possession of bin Laden’s body.

A small team of U.S. operatives launched a “targeted operation” Sunday under Obama’s direction, on a compound

in the Pakistani city of Abbottabad, where bin Laden was hiding, Obama said. Bin Laden was killed after the firefight, and the troops then took custody of his body, Obama said.

Bin Laden’s death comes nearly a decade after al-Qaeda coordinated attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, which killed almost 3,000 U.S. citizens. Sunday’s news would “bring justice” to bin Laden, Obama said.

“The American people did not choose

this fight,” he said. “It came to our shores and started with the senseless slaughter of our citizens.”

The death brings closure to what the military has fought for, said Sean Galloway, president of the Student Veterans Club at Syracuse Univer-sity. Galloway fought in Iraq for eight months in 2005.

“We put our lives on the line to defend this country, to defend what happened in New York City, and the bad guy’s gone,” said Galloway, a junior manage-

ment major. Galloway woke up right before

Obama’s announcement and described the news as “awesome.” He said bin Lad-en’s death was the whole point of going to war.

“It’s not going to stop now, but we got him,” he said.

Sara Bittar, a master’s student study-ing public administration from Lebanon, said U.S. citizens needed the news of bin Laden’s death because he was behind the

THE DAILY ORANGE

With scattered showers and highs in the low 50s, this year’s MayFest celebration on Euclid Avenue was smaller and tamer than it was in the past.

“This is 1 percent of what happened last year,” said Syracuse Police Department officer Al Thompson, who was patrolling the 600 block of Euclid at 2:30 p.m.

Students stayed mostly on porches or walked in groups, and there were no problems with pedestrian and vehicle traffic. More students also reported going to Walnut Park, where the univer-sity-sanctioned MayFest was happening for the second year. By 7 p.m. people were moving inside

or getting ready for the Block Party concert. SPD officers were stationed between the 200

and 700 blocks of Euclid starting at 10 a.m., Thompson said. No roads were blocked off. Due to the weather, crowds in the afternoon were not nearly what they were by 10 a.m. in 2010, he said. Thompson said he did not think the university-sanctioned MayFest on Walnut Park affected the crowds on Euclid.

He said he had only dealt with small incidents, such as people straying from lawn parties with open containers or playing music too loudly. But had the weather improved, the situation on Euclid could have gotten worse, he said.

Student participation increased at the second university-sanctioned MayFest in Walnut Park Friday, reflecting how the event is becoming more of a Syracuse University tradition.

Even with temperatures in the mid-50s and spurts of light rain, students were not deterred from Walnut. Students reported going to Walnut to see entertainment acts or going to the park before heading to Euclid Avenue, where the MayFest block party has traditionally been held independent of SU.

MayFest began at 1 p.m. and Student Association President Neal Casey said he saw more students present within the

Author, SU alumnus to host, judge student film festivalBy Sam Marji

CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Aaron Goldfarb saw “Pulp Fiction” at age 15 and, inspired by its cinema-tography, decided he didn’t want to do anything else with his life.

“I was going to get rich or die try-ing to do it,” he said.

Goldfarb, a Syracuse University alumnus, is an avid fan of not only the entertainment industry but the writing industry as well. He said he was frustrated with the film and television industry and decided to

take a break from it to write novels and short stories.

Goldfarb will come back to SU on May 7, where he’s been chosen to a host a film festival with films made by students in a television, radio and film class taught by professor Tula Goenka, according to Goldfarb’s blog. All the films being shown will portray his short stories.

In January, Goldfarb and his manager, 2005 alumnus Craig T. Wood, came to Syracuse to help the 12 students with their projects,

discussing their two favorite stories from the collection and offering cri-tiques for their idea pitches, accord-ing to Goldfarb’s blog.

Goldfarb said he loves to sup-port Syracuse and is honored to be returning to the area.

“It’s an honor to come back to the school I attended to get to judge a film festival based on the short sto-ries I wrote,” Goldfarb said. “What a dream come true.”

He intentionally wrote “The Cheat Sheet” as a collection of short

stories that would be perfect for adap-tation into short films. Goldfarb said he has never revealed this before, but he and Wood have been planning to travel worldwide for “The Cheat Sheet” film festivals, awarding the winners prizes and connections to film industry professionals.

This event at SU is a test for his wider-scale idea, he said.

Runners and walkers took to the sidewalks across campus Sunday morning during the second May Day 5K, which raised more than $1,000.

Syracuse University and the State University of New York Col-lege of Environmental Science and Forestry’s Habitat for Humanity chapter and OrangeAID hosted the event, which served as a fundraiser for both organizations. OrangeAID is a student group created in 2008 to

help fund HIV and AIDS treatment, as well as to inform students about the disease.

The race raised $1,528, about $300 more than last year, said Andrew Leone, president of the SU and ESF chapter of Habitat for Humanity. Of the 120 people who registered, 75 attended the race, Leone said.

The coed race, which started after 11 a.m., began and ended at Hendricks Chapel. Runners moved down Waverly Avenue and Comstock Avenue and passed by the Carrier

Dome. The cost of attendance was $13 if paid in advance and $15 if bought Sunday. Participants received cards with their times at the end.

Josh Scarcella, a volunteer coor-dinator for Habitat for Humanity, said a portion of the race’s proceeds will support the group’s new project at 659 Gifford St.

First-, second- and third-place winners won gift certificates from Fleet Feet, a store that sells running and exercise apparel, for $15, $10 and $5, respectively. Strong Hearts Cafe,

a vegan restaurant, passed out $5 gift certificates to random participants, Leone said.

Anna Stolzenburg, a senior in the College of Arts and Sciences, won the female category, and Robert Pogue, a sophomore architecture major, won the male category, Leone said.

Pogue said he ran road races in high school, but his academics left him no time to run in Syracuse, and the weather put him in no mood.

Yager told police his fraterni-ty held a party Saturday at the residence, but that his room was locked. Yager said his wallet in his room was moved but wasn’t stolen. He told police there are only two other people with a master’s key for his room: Michael Tischler, the fraternity’s president and senior in the College of Human Ecology, and the house manager, according to the report.

Tischler told police Yager asked him earlier in the day to let his friend into his room to retrieve some clothing. Tischler said he unlocked the door and the friend left after grabbing some things, according to the report. Tischler told police he locked the door after the friend came out of Yager’s room.• Ahmed Al-Salem, 21, a senior in Whitman, was arrested on the 200 block of Comstock Avenue Sunday at 12:15 a.m. and charged with one count of criminal mischief in the fourth degree, according to a Syracuse police report.

Al-Salem told police he did not mean to break the window and isn’t a violent person, but that he had been drinking. Al-Salem had a minor lac-eration on his right wrist, according to the report.• A burglary occurred on the 700 block of Ostrom Avenue Friday between

Kyle Rapone, a junior television, radio and film major, said the event was a good way to have fun and donate to charity at the same time.

“I do a lot of good, and I really wanted to help them out today,” Rapone said.

Rapone, who attended the first May Day 5K last year, said the event appeared to be larger this year.

Mikaela Ost, a junior in the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications and a high school HIV and AIDS peer leader, said she wasn’t sure what to expect coming into the race, but thought the organizers did a good job setting the atmosphere.

SU’s mascot, Otto the Orange, also attended the event and high-fived runners throughout the race. Pogue, winner of the male category, said he was pleasantly surprised that Otto came, even if Otto didn’t run alongside the students.

Lauren Rosenstein, a junior in the College of Human Ecology, president of OrangeAID and

one of the race’s core organizers, also said she was surprised by Otto’s presence.

“Nobody requested Otto,” she said. “He just came.”

Goldfarb cited past experiences and said he wants everyone to realize the importance of time over common worries, such as finances.

“You can always earn more money, so you should rarely let it dictate your decisions,” he said. “You have so much free time at college, and if you’re not spending some of it writing screenplays or novels or making films, you’re wasting it.”

He urges all students with a passion for writing or filming in the entertainment indus-

I t’s strange to think that in exactly two weeks some of us will have to leave behind the magical land

of sunshine and happiness where dreams come true — college — to go out into the real world and supposedly do something with our lives.

This is largely depressing. Col-lege has been fruitful. It’s where I’ve picked up on all my greatest life lessons. These include the following things: steal toilet paper whenever possible, know nothing good ever comes out of running into someone attractive at the gym, Chipotle is a guaranteed conversation starter, and of course, if you don’t remember it, it never happened.

Senior supply chain management

and marketing major Jake Haworth confirmed my feelings of nostalgia when he said, “Nothing is going to compare to the four years that I’ve spent here, and going out into the real world will be nerve-racking. I will miss my friends, and I definitely look forward to coming back and being an active alum.”

But on the real, Syracuse Universi-ty has been a great place to spend the last four years. All things considered, we’ve been left fairly unhindered. Greek life, where shame and morals come to die, is proudly recognized and endorsed by the university. South Campus is a legitimate living option. You can avoid Friday classes if you so choose. Actually, you can pretty much

avoid all your classes if you so choose. Either way, it’s been a nice life.

But even so, I think the time has come to move on. Senior finance and entrepreneurship and emerg-ing enterprises major Noah Levine agreed when he said, “What I’ll miss most about SU is living with five of the wildest guys on campus. But I can’t wait to graduate so I can start making

cash money.” Word. So thanks for everything, SU. It’s

been a great run, a really memorable four years. You’ve stolen pieces of my heart and soul, several bras and at least three phones. You’ve attempted to teach me educational-type things and failed, but put in a valiant effort nonetheless. You’ve allowed me to blossom and grow, to make new friends and lovers, to study abroad, to consume obscene amounts of alcohol in a safe and secure environment, to piss people off (in person and in print), to write more papers and study for more tests than can possibly be healthy, to walk way too far and way too often, and so much more.

Fellow senior and television,

radio and film major Alex Rosenthal agreed. He said, “I will miss walking to class in 30 degree weather with high velocity winds drying out my contact lenses in the middle of April,” he said. “I will also miss drinking milk straight from the carton, which I can’t really do when I’m back living with my parents.”

In the end, it’s all been worth it. And when graduation rolls around, I will definitely cry and make 63 new friends on Facebook and proclaim my utmost jealousy of all the underclass-men, and all the like.

Peace and love, SU. It’s been real.Marina Charny is a senior English

and textual studies and writing major. She can be reached at [email protected].

Student Association began working on its smoke-free campus initiative more than a year ago. Since then, SA appointed Vice President Jessica Cun-nington as leader, created a committee to spearhead its implementation, dis-cussed ideas, has gone back and forth between a full and partial ban and acknowledged openly the whole pro-cess was a lot harder than expected.

But the process for drafting a smoke-free campus initiative lacks student involvement. Several weeks ago, Cunnington asked SA assembly-members to gather student input by talking with some of their friends. She said that approach, rather than ran-dom surveying — as was originally planned — would be easier and faster. It is also lazier.

Plans to make the campus smoke-free have been brought up at nearly every SA meeting since March 2010, and President Neal Casey has adopted the initiative as one of his main goals in office. SA must match the emphasis and priority of the initiative with equal public discussion and engage-ment.

Many students and employees smoke on this campus. Although smoking increases littering and unhealthy air quality, changes to campus smoking policy directly affects far too many people to go forth without concrete, tangible input from the campus community. Simply ask-ing friends or walking up to students to get ideas does not effectively gauge student opinion. SA must have quanti-tative evidence that students support a smoke-free or partially smoke-free campus.

Last week’s meeting left off with the hope that a formal resolution for SA to vote on would be drafted by Monday’s meeting, the final meeting of the semester. If SA is still gathering student input — something Casey said last Monday — this resolution draft seems premature. SA should table and distribute surveys that will show the percentages of students in support of varying degrees of change. Perhaps

SA could send out a campus-wide email, like Casey did for MayFest, plainly stating its plans, and request student input. At the very least, that would give students a chance to know exactly how their representatives plan to move forward with this initiative and potentially limit the right to smoke on campus.

A smoke-free campus garnered plenty of support from outside organi-zations, such as the Onondaga County Department of Health, Syracuse Uni-versity Health Services and multiple national organizations. Casey and SA should not view this initiative like Casey did his run for presidency — as uncontested and easily won.

SA members should be sure to gather feedback from a representative sample of smokers and non-smokers, even if it means approaching and surveying students smoking on the streets. Passing a smoke-free initia-tive, after appropriately notifying and engaging a large — and representative — sample of students would be a true success, unlike the top-down project SA has taken on thus far.

9/11 attacks. “But I hope, on the other hand, that people

will not view this as a victory because you don’t really fight terrorism just by killing the head of the gang,” Bittar said. “You fight it by killing the roots that cause people to engage in terrorist movements.”

Shortly after taking office, Obama said he told the director of the CIA, Leon Panetta, that the top priority of the war against al-Qaeda was to capture or kill bin Laden.

P.J. Davidson, a sophomore sport man-agement major, said he wishes troops had captured bin Laden alive so he could be put on trial.

“I don’t think you can achieve true justice through one person compared to how many lives were affected,” Davidson said. “It’s a step in the right direction, but it would have been nice to get him alive.”

The president said he was first briefed about a possible lead to bin Laden last August.

“And finally, last week, I determined that we had enough intelligence to take action, and authorized an operation to get Osama bin Laden and bring him to justice,” Obama said.

Obama said no Americans were harmed dur-ing the operation and that U.S. military forces “took care to avoid civilian casualties.” Obama made his televised address from 11:35 p.m. to 11:44 p.m. in the White House’s East Room, after it was originally announced he would speak at 10:30 p.m.

Taylor Visoski, a sophomore public rela-

tions major, watched Obama’s address in one of the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications labs. She said the news of bin Laden’s death made her recall the emotions she felt as a fifth-grader when 9/11

occurred. Visoski said her father was en route to New

York on 9/11, but was not onboard one of the hijacked planes. When she learned of bin Lad-en’s death on Sunday, she immediately text messaged her father.

“It was a very scary moment, and I guess it brought a lot of those emotions back,” Visoski said. “It’s relieving to hear all the hard work of our troops and our intelligence agencies has paid off.”

Songs such as “Miss American Pie” blared from the porch of the Zeta Beta Tau fraternity house, where David Okin, a sophomore philoso-phy major, celebrated the news with fellow fraternity members.

Okin said he immediately called loved ones — including his parents, brother, sis-ter, cousin, uncle and two best friends from home — and notified them of the news. Many of Okin’s loved ones have been personally affected by 9/11, so the news of bin Laden’s death hit home, he said.

“I have a lot of friends that have lost people,” Okin said. “It’s an amazing day here.”

Obama said bin Laden had planned attacks against the United States and its allies for more than two decades.

“The death of bin Laden marks the most significant achievement to date in our nation’s effort to defeat al-Qaeda,” Obama said. “Yet his death does not mark the end of our effort. There’s no doubt that al-Qaeda will continue to pursue attacks against us.

We must — and we will — remain vigilant at home and abroad.”

Here are some important dates prior to bin Laden’s death, which Obama outlined during the press conference:

• Last August, Obama was briefed on a possible lead to bin Laden.

• Last week, the president determined there was enough intelligence to take action. He authorized an operation to bring bin Laden to justice.

• On Sunday, the United States launched an operation in Pakistan. After a fire-fight, bin Laden was killed and troops took custody of his body. No Americans were harmed, and troops took care to avoid civilian casualties.

A $963,000 grant will help generate heat and electricity for the State University of New York College of

Environmental Science and Forestry. The heat and electricity will come from

heat and electric generating systems, which will provide 70 percent of heating needs and 20 percent of electric needs for the campus, said Michael Kelleher, ESF’s director of renewable energy systems. The systems will operate at 75 percent efficiency compared to the typical 33 per-cent efficiency, he said.

“What is unique about these systems is that we will both generate electricity, and after we generate electricity, we will make use of the waste heat,” Kelleher said.

The grant, given to ESF from the New York State Energy Research and Develop-ment Authority, was the only project in Central New York to receive funds from NYSERDA, according to an article published in The Post-Standard on April 21.

The grant to ESF is part of $20 million in grants that NYSERDA allocated for com-bined heat and power projects at 19 paper mills, hospitals, apartment complexes and supermarkets, as well as other facilities across the state, according to the article.

A gasification boiler in the basement of the Gateway Building — currently under construction next to the Carrier Dome — will heat willow wood pellets to produce steam heat, Kelleher said in the article.

The basement of the Gateway Building will also house three microturbines that burn natural gas for heat and electricity, according to the article.

Kelleher said the ESF project is supposed to be completed by June 2012.

The combined heat and electric generat-ing system will require about $2.4 million, but it is expected to save $350,000 to $400,000 per year in heating and power costs for ESF, according to the article.

Combined heat and power is considered a clean-energy technology, according to an April 21 NYSERDA news release. The com-bination uses excess heat from chimneys or smokestacks to supply heat or hot water to buildings, for manufacturing or for other purposes, according to the release.

During the past 10 years, NYSERDA has invested more than $100 million in combined heat and power technology, according to the release.

There is no transmission loss like there is when electricity is transferred over power lines, since combined heat and power is generated on-site, according to the release.

Waste steam from the ESF units will heat four buildings on campus, as well as the Gateway Building, according to The Post-Standard article.

Francis J. Murray Jr., president and CEO of NYSERDA, said in the organiza-tion’s press release that combined heat and power technology has the potential to decrease the strain on the state’s electric grid in New York.

“NYSERDA is proud to support it,” Murray said in the news release. “CHP will help reduce air pollution in the state’s most densely-populated areas, and will also help conserve our limited fossil fuel resources and increase the nation’s energy self-sufficiency.”

first half-hour this year than he did last year. Throughout the day 4,000 students visited Wal-nut, said Department of Public Safety Chief Tony Callisto. This number comes from the amount of food served, he said.

This was the first time guest passes were available for Walnut Park. Of the 350 available, 175 guest passes were sold as of Friday morning, Casey said. Other changes to MayFest included adding speakers into the areas reserved for alcoholic beverages and food. Guest passes could be bought for $20 in the Schine Student Center box office until 1 p.m. on Friday. Those with a guest pass needed to show a college ID card to enter the park.

Free food and drink was available through-out the event, including cheeseburgers, cotton candy and soda. For students 21 and older, beer was available. Students 21 and older received wristbands with removable tabs, which were good for four beers before 3 p.m. and for two beers after that time.

Live performances by Hoodie Allen, The Cataracs and SU freshman Guy Harrison began at approximately 1:45 p.m. All acts finished by 4:30 p.m.

Rahul Kallianpur, a sophomore biology major, said Hoodie Allen was a highlight of May-Fest in Walnut Park.

“He’s up and coming, he’s gonna be a big guy,” he said.

Capt. Andrew Mrozienski of SU’s Depart-ment of Public Safety was stationed across the street from Marion Hall. He said people tried to move trash barrels to park closer to Walnut, but that they did not encounter any major security issues.

The incident-free event was the result of a combination of planning by city officials, the university and those who planned the event, Mrozienski said.

But the weather also played a part. The occa-sional rain deterred crowds and people acting out of hand, he said.

Jessica Santana, a senior accounting major, said she and her friends were having a good time even with the cold and rainy weather. But this years’ event didn’t live up to her expectations compared to previous MayFests because of the weather, Santana said. Last year, the weather for MayFest was sunny and in the low 70s.

“This is not the worst weather Syracuse has ever experienced,” Santana said. “My plans aren’t going to change because of the weather.”

Last year was the first year MayFest was held in Walnut Park. This year did not have

the same amount of student outcry as in 2010, but students still reported being unhappy with the newly university-sanctioned tra-dition. Students were displeased with the fence lining the park’s perimeter, which was guarded by security officers checking student SUID’s upon entrance, as well as the space dividing the drinking and non-drinking sections.

Caitlin Pontrella, a senior architecture major, said she was disappointed with the way MayFest was arranged.

“The whole process of getting in is obnox-ious. Get in, get out — it doesn’t feel like a party, it feels restricted,” Pontrella said.

Meanwhile, underage students were upset about being separated from their friends who were of age.

Christine McGrail, a senior education major, said being divided from her older friends was bothersome. McGrail said her older friends entered the beer section, only to come out shortly after to rejoin her in the underage section.

Hannah Cordell, a senior photojournalism major, offered a more positive take on the set up of MayFest. Cordell said she appreciates SU’s attempt at creating a comfortable envi-ronment for students for the event. Cordell said the university-sanctioned festivities at Walnut Park provided a “tamer” alternative to

parties on Euclid. “I feel a little bit more comfortable being

in a school sanctioned one because then you actually have some place to go in a safe environ-ment,” Cordell said. “You’re not worried about someone spilling beer on your clothes or things getting out of hand.”

would continue to enforce city ordinances dur-ing Friday’s MayFest celebration. The Office of Off-Campus and Commuter Services distrib-uted a letter from Syracuse Mayor Stephanie Miner reminding students of the ordinances.

Crowds picked up later in the afternoon, but the sky stayed cloudy and temperatures remained low. Students walked down Euclid and partied on porches wearing overcoats and long pants — a difference from last year when temperatures were in the high 70s.

Until about 3 p.m., SPD Lt. Richard Shoff said the day was quiet. But after that time he, SPD officers and officers of the Depart-ment of Public Safety dealt with six open container violations. Two students who could not provide identification to officers were handcuffed but not arrested. Shoff said deal-ing with students wandering off lawns with alcoholic beverages was not as much of a problem last year.

There was one arrest on charges of

harassment and nine open container viola-tions overall, said SPD Sgt. Gary Bulinski. Bulinski said SPD was patrolling MayFest until 9:30 p.m. Friday.

When it started to rain shortly after 4 p.m., people on Euclid started to move indoors. At a house on the 500 block Euclid, a group of people moved a pong table from the front yard to the porch of the house.

Kristen O’Hara, a fifth-year industrial design student who lives in the house, said she and her roommates started celebrating May-Fest at 12:30 p.m. and that people had been stopping and going.

She said she did not think the rain would affect the number of people who came to her house because there is a covered porch.

As a fifth-year student, O’Hara said she has experienced the changes MayFest has gone through since the tradition first started in 2007. She said the event was crazy until her third year.

Catherine King, O’Hara’s roommate and a fifth-year industrial design student, said people used to party all the way down the street.

“I’m just worried the freshmen won’t know

it’s a tradition,” she said. O’Hara said people would still celebrate May-

Fest despite the weather. “I still think people are going to have a good

time,” she said. “People have been waiting for this for a long time.”

Andrew Legere, a senior engineering major, said this year’s MayFest was “awful.” Legere was out on the 200 block of Euclid and said the weather was putting a damper on festivities.

Before he went to Euclid, Legere said he and his friends went to Walnut Park. MayFest has changed since his freshman year, which he said was the best MayFest he attended.

Ryan Mayer, a graduate student in the infor-mation management program, said he was upset about the turnout on Euclid this year. He said the more people there are, the better the environment is.

“I’m still having fun, but it’s a lot smaller,” Mayer said. “Honestly the best one was two years ago, in my opinion.”

He said the streets would have been blocked off two years ago for safety precautions whereas cars were still using the street this year. He also said there used to be more people with big par-ties at every other house.

Now that MayFest is a university-sanc-tioned event at Walnut Park and students still party on Euclid, there has been a divide between the new event and the tradition, Mayer said.

“It’s just caused a divide, really,” he said. “It’s really caused it to be smaller in both areas when it could all be condensed into one.”

This year marks Mayer’s last MayFest, and although he was disappointed, he was also glad part of the MayFest tradition was still happen-ing on Euclid.

“I’ve experienced the real MayFest,” he said, “and I’ll always remember that.”

concert, hosted by University Union, a disappoint-ment? All the pieces were there. As headliner Kid Cudi jumped around onstage, building the hype for each song, people were ready to believe his recorded work would translate perfectly onstage. But as Cudi broke into verse, all that came out were inaudible slurs and mumbles.

“I love Cudi, but his live performance just really lacks,” said Max Gredinger, a sophomore in the Bandier Program for Music and the Entertain-ment Industries, and manager of student bands Aer and Mouth’s Cradle. “I wish it translated bet-ter, but it doesn’t.”

After waiting nearly four hours since the doors to the concert opened, students grew impatient. Opening acts Tinie Tempah, Nas and Damian Marley, however, held the crowd over. With smooth rhythm, quick lyricism and abun-dance of flag waving, Nas and Damian Marley did what any good opener should do — hold their own while building hype for the headliner. When they sung about how “Africa must wake up,” the distinct scent of marijuana filled the Dome. “Syracuse,” they belted, “make some noise! We want God to hear us.”

After Nas and Marley left the stage, students waited for twenty minutes, screaming “Cudi, Cudi.” Finally, at 10:40 p.m., the Dome was cast in a dark blue hue. The crowd roared. Cudi burst onto the stage, hopping from one spot to another. He began with “Revofev” off his latest album, “Man on the Moon II: The Legend of Mr. Rager.” While he easily slid through the croons of his chorus, with his head buried in the mic, the individual bridges of the song were muddled and difficult to comprehend.

Cudi’s backup band, made of a guitarist and a drummer, added to the dissonance. While he usually operates with just a disc jockey and

Seated around the runway stretched across Goldstein Auditorium’s main floor, the crowd awaiting the Senior Fashion Show could not see the cha-otic whirlwind of activity taking place beyond the opaque backdrop of the stage. Models, designers, hairstyl-ists and makeup artists frantically scrambled to make sure each runway look was perfect.

“I literally have no idea how I got dressed into different clothes,” said Krista Johnson, a sophomore public relations major who presented looks for three different designers. “I had four or five sets of hands just rub-bing makeup on and off my face and tugging my hair and throwing my clothes on, it was really crazy.”

The 20 female senior designers in the College of Visual and Perform-ing Arts presented six self-designed, sewn and styled looks Thursday after-noon and again Friday night. The top 11 collections will be presented in New York City in June.

The entire show flowed smoothly and transitioned effortlessly from one designer to the next. Though each collection was unique, current trends in the fashion industry — such as loose, flowing garments, well-tailored bottoms, dark colors and sheer fabrics — were consistent throughout the show.

Andrea McInnes’ Japonaiserie col-lection, fusing Japanese culture with 1970s American silhouettes, set the tone for the show with clean lines, impeccable tailoring and dark, bold colors. Her first piece, a dark blue, cross-back jumpsuit with a wide leg fit and flowing fabric at the ankle, kicked off the show.

“It has been so tiring and exhaust-ing to get this all together,” McInnes said. “But when I saw my models in the rehearsal, I was so happy with how they walked and am happy that I got to go first.”

Johnson was the first model to walk down the runway in McInnes’ garment, her even steps accentuating the graceful rippling of the fabric. Though Johnson has modeled before, she said this show gave her an extra sense of energy and excitement.

“I was standing waiting for the first show to start for so long that I started feeling nervous,” she said. “But I was excited to be the first per-son that everyone gets to look at. I wanted to look really professional and just start the show off on a good foot.”

Johnson also modeled for two

other designers in the show, which demanded much of her time because the planning for the show began immediately at the start of the semester and each specific piece is fitted to a particular model. Johnson said the designers accommodated her schedule and she enjoyed all the wardrobe fittings.

“I get really jealous that I can’t take them home because I’m like, ‘Well, it’s specially fit-ted to me, can’t I have it?’” she said.

A few bass-heavy songs and several rounds of applause later, LaTimberly Johnson’s col-lection stood out with eye-catching patterns, mixed and matched with blocks of bright colors and tied together with bold hair and makeup.

“I was really inspired by the metaphysical and Isidora Duncan, who basically invented modern dance,” LaTimberly said. “I wanted to capture these abstract ideas of movement, color and shape.”

LaTimberly’s final model embodied the combination of the three as she took the run-way at an even pace with arms outstretched, her long, sweeping sleeves billowing behind her dramatically.

Moments after LaTimberly took her bow and stepped offstage, Kanye West’s song “Work Out Plan” blasted through the speak-ers. The audience erupted into shouts and applause. Leah Testa’s song choice reflected her unique line, the only athletic-wear col-lection.

Headphones replaced earrings, and loose, airy fabrics were traded for tight, form-fitting materials, accentuating the athletic build of

the models Testa chose. Each look was united by uniform metallic silver high-heels resem-bling sneakers and tied up with purple laces matching the theme of her collection.

“I intend to go into the sports arena and design things for companies like Nike or Adi-das,” said Testa, who, as a member of the SU track team, values athletic style. “Everyone wants to look cute when they work out and afterward, and I like presenting new and excit-ing options.”

Dayna Teitelbaum’s unconventional con-cept presented a variety of choices, creating one garment with a multitude of options to enhance wear-ability. Teitelbaum said cloth-ing should be able to adjust to any occasion based on people’s location and lifestyle.

With this concept, Teitelbaum presented 12 looks instead of six. After one model reached the end of the runway to present one look, she returned to the beginning of the catwalk and, assisted by the next model, transformed the first look into a brand new one. Cheers of approval quickly drowned the music out as Teitelbaum took her bow and pranced offstage, pumping her fist in the air.

At the end of the show, models rushed out from the side wings of the stage, hurrying to their next Thursday afternoon class or engagement as friends and family proudly awaited the talented designers to celebrate four years of hard work leading up to this final show.

“After working for so many hours and put-ting in so much effort hoping things will work out, it’s just the greatest feeling to know it worked out smoothly,” Teitelbaum said. “It all worked exactly how I envisioned it.”

nostalgia nookTHE LION KINGAt the recent White House Correspondents’ dinner, President Barack Obama flaunted his comedic side by informing the audience he would halt the rumors that he was born in Kenya by revealing his birth video. What began playing was the opening scene from the Disney classic “The Lion King,” showing the baby Simba being presented to the entire jungle.

Despite it obviously being a gag, Obama wanted to make sure conser-vatives didn’t take it seriously and said, “I want to make clear to the Fox News table that was a joke. … Call Disney if you don’t believe me.”

“The Lion King” was different from its other Disney counterparts. It was more than just a typical boy meets girl, falls in love and sappily lives happily ever after. Cue vomit. The loveable protagonist Simba was flawed, Scar was a diabolical villain, and the dead stayed dead, even though everyone wanted Mufasa’s resurrection.

But never fear — it was balanced with comedic relief found in Disney’s two funniest characters: Timon and Pumbaa. No child could resist laugh-ing with lines such as:

“Man, I’m stuffed.” “Me, too, I ate like a pig.” “Pumbaa, you are a pig.” or “Gee, he looks blue.” “I’d say brownish-gold.” “No, no, no. I mean he’s depressed.” “Oh.” And it’s clearly not a Disney movie if it doesn’t teach some important

life lessons. Students running around campus playing “Humans vs. Zom-bies,” take note of Mufasa’s pouncing lessons. That tactic will help you win. You’re welcome.

Besides, some of the catchiest Disney songs are on the soundtrack, such as “I Just Can’t Wait To Be King,” “Circle of Life” and “Hakuna Mata-ta.” Who doesn’t know the words, seriously?

“The Lion King” is one of those movies that can be cherished at any age, and its words still ring true: “Hakuna Matata, it means no worries for the rest of your days.”

soundboard, Cudi mixed it up with a heavy rock aesthetic. He even told the crowd his set should sound like a rock concert rather than a hip-hop show. That would certainly account for the pounding drums, which rendered the crowd nearly deaf.

Joe Kovel, a junior information and technol-ogy major and marketer for the student music blog “Hold My Coat,” said this rock ‘n’ roll direc-tion would have worked better if the drums were turned down and Cudi’s voice was brought up. Still, he said he enjoyed seeing more people onstage, and that it made for a more engaging performance.

And that’s where the biggest checkmark on Cudi’s performance could be given: his show-manship. After working his way through his better-known tracks, including “Scott Mescudi vs. the World” and “Soundtrack to my Life,” Cudi took the time to address the audience.

“I thought y’all be exhausted by now,” Cudi said. “I’m glad you’re not tired because I need that energy.”

Riding his rock wave, Cudi then told every-one to move toward the stage, creating an

impromptu mosh pit. A flood of students rushed the floor, overpowering even the ushers.

Building up the excitement to a fever pitch, Cudi then deflated the hype with a sleepy rendi-tion of “Mojo So Dope.” With the bass cranked at ear bleeding level, Cudi’s voice could hardly be traced in the rumbling cacophony.

“His material is just too dark for a perfor-mance of that caliber,” Kovel said.

This was the pattern for the most of the concert. Cudi pumped the crowd up, bounc-ing around the stage, and giving statements like, “Who got high for me tonight? This one’s for you,” or he amped students up for a three-song marathon called “the Mucho Mega Mix,” only to have his music fall flat. At some points, he spent more time talking to his band or the audience about his personal life than actually singing.

When Cudi transitioned back to his older music, he traded in his rock-fest vibe for a more traditional hip-hop feel. This is where he shined. Placing the instrumentals in the backseat, Cudi sliced through his verses with a smooth but quick pace. The audience noticed. Many joined in on the rapping, creating a back-up chorus that carried Cudi through a sizable chunk of his set list.

“This is one big happy f***ing sing-along,” he said.

Cudi then switched back to his major label songs like “All Along” and his radio single “Erase Me.” While the popularity of “Erase Me” garnered a stronger reaction from fans, the crowd erupted into a chorus of cheers when he finally ended his set with “Pursuit of happi-ness.” Thanking Syracuse for having him, Cudi bowed out to a fairly quiet audience.

An Encore? Not even requested.“I love his music, I think he’s amazing,”

Gredinger said. “I just don’t like his live set.”[email protected]

O n April 18, when Lifetime aired Part 1 of its six-part real-life series, simply titled “William and Kate,” the only

thing I tried to avoid more than studying for finals was the royal wedding. As a cynical critic to all things fairy-tale, no one was surprised that I wasn’t caught up in the royal wedding frenzy. It wasn’t until I found myself 45 minutes into a rerun of the “20/20” Prince William and Kate Middleton special that I realized I had caught the royal wedding bug.

Truth be told, when William and Middleton announced their engagement in November 2010, I wasn’t even aware William was dating anyone. In fact, I only learned of their engagement because it happened to make great Thanksgiv-ing dinner conversation. So when my friends told me they were waking up at 4 a.m. to watch the royal wedding, I didn’t get it.

I’m usually a sucker for television specials and themed TV marathons, but the royal wed-ding mayhem was outrageous. Lifetime quickly executed a made-for-TV movie using $3 million to “examine William and Kate’s romance, Kate’s comparison to Princess Diana, the wed-ding gown, the food for the wedding, a rundown of the wedding day and a glimpse into William and Kate’s potential future together.”

Unimpressed critics said accuracy was not a priority in the Lifetime version of Middleton and William’s eight-year relationship, proving the royal wedding is a way for everyone and anyone to cash out on the royalties.

Even TLC’s week of royal wedding program-

ming featuring “archived and exclusive footage of the royal family, interviews with members of the royal family and those who have been part of notable royal events across the decades” didn’t sway me. The princess-themed episodes of “Say Yes to the Dress” and “Cake Boss” weren’t a big deal.

On Friday morning, Twitter served as a place of frustration. All of Twitter’s Top 10 trending topics mentioned the wedding, and according to dailymail.co.uk, the wedding was mentioned at least 67 times a second. Whether someone hated the wedding or loved it, it was being tweeted. I wondered why we couldn’t just stop talking about it all together.

Since the Lifetime special first aired, it had been a long 12 days of royal wedding resistance. So when I finally caved in and watched the “20/20” special, I figured that if you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em. Actually I most likely fell victim to the mania because there was nothing else on TV and Barbara Walters’ narration can convince me that anything is important. None-theless, I was sold.

Middleton’s dress was beautiful, the kiss was classy and that bored, frowning flower girl was hilarious. All in all, William and Middleton’s ceremony made me look forward to my mom’s upcoming wedding. It will not be the 1.6 million-viewer live-streaming Web sensa-tion of the royal wedding, but it will be just as beautiful. The royal wedding helped remind me of the tradition of weddings, whether it be the ceremony at London’s Westminster Abbey or at The Mirage Resort and Casino in Las Vegas, where my mom’s will take place. Like any royal wedding, my mom’s wedding will have its own element of cheesiness in the form of The Mirage’s fake volcano explosion timed perfectly with the kiss — at least it’s not a six-hour Life-time special.

S ince its ground-breaking premiere in 2002, Fox’s

“American Idol” has grad-ually shifted into an awful representation of the music

industry, reality television and pop culture in general.

Fans have endured Ryan Seacrest’s horribly cheesy

jokes, Simon Cowell’s elitism, Paula Abdul’s drug-rattled

breakdowns, Ellen DeGeneres (no comment necessary), and

Kara Diog-howeveryousayit’s desperate attempts at proving she

is indeed famous.Fortunately, the show has dropped

its nuisances and picked up Aerosmith’s Steven Tyler and pop mogul Jennifer

Lopez to join veteran Randy Jackson. And get this — “American Idol” is good TV again.

Heading back to its focus on vocal talent, the current season seems to feature genuinely talented singers and musicians. This season’s top 13 didn’t even include a token wildcard contestant who clearly doesn’t belong and was chosen primarily for dramatic

effect. Plus, these selected individuals are interestingly diverse in genre and talent,

so there’s never a dull moment. Rumors of previous seasons being rigged are definitely

put to rest with this crew. Executive Producer Simon Fuller must’ve smartened up.

This week, the top six performed Carole King songs, but before you question who this mystery woman is, note that she’s one of the most successful female singer-songwriters in the last half-century. King’s career recap video reminded viewers of her success in writing songs for more than 1,000 well-known artists, as well as her own 25 top-selling solo albums. Also present was guest mentor and Grammy Award-winning singer and

songwriter Babyface. Glad to see the show is selecting prestigious musicians to guest judge, instead of Quentin Tarantino and Adam Lambert.

The show kicked off with Jacob Lusk, the “divo” who sounds like Jennifer Hudson. Lusk has consistently been critiqued well for his vocals, but he decided to show off his stage presence by dancing to King’s “Oh No, Not My Baby,” an over-the-top performance that showed off his good range.

Highlights of the show included perfor-mances by Hayley Reinhart, Casey Abrams and James Durbin. Reinhart took a risk and performed King’s hit “Beautiful,” an under-the-radar song for younger audiences. Easily the most underrated performer of the night, Reinhart shined. The judges thought his performance was great, but still didn’t give it much praise as they did Durbin’s rendi-tion of the popular “Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow,” which has been remade by many artists, including Smokey Robinson and Amy Winehouse.

Durbin slowed it down from his usual dark and heavy metal-esque style, but still gave it an edge with his guitar and spectacular vocals. Abrams’ version of the outlandish “Heidi Ho” proves he can honestly make anything sound contemporary. The man’s an absolute genius with any instrument you throw in front of him, whether it’s the piano or stand-up bass.

Just out of the spotlight were Lauren Alaina and Scotty McCreery. Though Alaina’s choice of the catchy “Gilmore Girls” theme song “Where You Lead (I Will Follow)” received positive reviews from the judges, it was easy to tell she was uncomfort-able attempting to pull off the melody and range. McCreery tried to transition his country style into R&B with “You’ve Got A Friend” and received good feedback again from the panel, but failed to wow the audi-ence as the other five.

Though he didn’t exactly deserve it, Abrams was voted off the next day. How-ever, from the look on his face during elimi-

nation, it seemed as if he knew it was coming. What matters is that this top six really do

deserve to be the top six. The show has stopped focusing on the politics and media-oriented aspect of the industry and has turned its attention back to what’s really important: the music. And at this point, it’s anybody’s game for the remaining three guys and two girls. Next week’s theme, “Songs from Then and Now,” will hopefully present an opportunity for the women to perform better than their outweighed male competition.

Season-high crowd in Carrier Dome propels Orange to win

By Zach Brown and Michael CohenThe Daily Orange

With three minutes remaining, the Carrier Dome crowd let the Notre Dame fans hear it. The couple hundred loyal Irish supporters became the target of the thousands of Syra-cuse fans to their left.

The Orange held a five-goal lead and with the win secured, chants of “overrated” were hurled in the direction of the Notre Dame fan section.

Most of the fourth-largest regular-season crowd in Carrier Dome history left happily, as No. 4 Syracuse knocked off No. 1 Notre Dame 11-8 Saturday. The 14,751 spectators were vocal throughout and helped push the Orange to clinch at least a share of the Big East confer-ence title.

“We had over 20,000 in the Meadowlands,” SU head coach John Desko said. “And if that’s 14,000, that sounds more like 30,000. That’s the loudest crowd we’ve been in front of this year so far. We give our home fans some credit. It was great to have them come out and support us today.”

The atmosphere was electric from start to finish, though the overwhelmingly pro-Orange crowd didn’t help Syracuse immedi-ately. SU fell behind 2-0 early, and the Irish showed no signs of being affected by the rau-cous environment.

Syracuse long-stick midfielder Joel White said he and his teammates were a little too hyped up at first. The jitters came on the defensive end. Desko said that unit failed to slide quickly enough against the Notre Dame offense early.

“We were a little too pumped up at first, and we had a few mistakes because of it,” White said. “But at the same time, it’s great to have that crowd, and it helped juice us up and make our comeback.”

The comeback came in the form of two sepa-rate 4-0 runs made by the Orange. SU reeled off four straight to turn a 2-0 deficit into a 4-2 lead. Later, it put the game out of reach with a run that gave Syracuse a commanding 8-3 lead.

Notre Dame defender Kevin Ridgway said the crowd didn’t have too much of an effect on the game, but that it does highlight any small mistakes a team makes. Notre Dame finished with 17 turnovers to SU’s eight. That included seven in the fourth quarter while the Irish tried to make a comeback.

“I don’t think it’s really that much of a fac-tor,” Ridgway said. “Little plays are magnified by how many people there are in the stands, but you settle in.”

Ultimately, it was the Orange who settled in

best. Riding the emotion from the crowd, Syra-cuse put up 11 goals on what was the nation’s best statistical defense coming into the game.

Desko and the SU players agreed it was the liveliest environment the team has been in so far in 2011.

Said Desko: “I thought the crowd was incredible to have that many people here in the Carrier Dome to watch a great lacrosse game.”

Handle with careComing into Saturday’s matchup, Syracuse was averaging 14.2 turnovers per game.

Desko said that was a big topic of discus-sion in the week heading into the Orange’s matchup with Notre Dame.

“We knew that against such a great defense, we’d have to value our possessions,” he said.

SU did just that Saturday in its 11-8 win, committing a season-low eight turnovers against the Fighting Irish. The Orange coughed the ball up just four times in the first three quarters before four more giveaways in the fourth ballooned that number to eight.

“We talked about turnovers going in,” Desko said. “And there’s a fine line because we have to be able to push the ball to the center of their defense once in a while because they do slide so quickly. But you don’t want to commit too many turnovers as a result.”

There were some occasions where passes got away from the Orange, but the possessions were salvaged through SU hustle and a few fortunate bounces.

After a Tom Palasek goal put SU up 3-2 in the first quarter, Jeremy Thompson pulled the faceoff back toward his goal. Senior Jovan

Miller chased it down and sent a long pass back to goalie John Galloway. The pass sailed high, but Galloway managed to get a piece of it with his stick and chased it down before it crossed the end line.

On the other end, Notre Dame was not so fortunate, committing 17 turnovers — 11 of them officially caused by Syracuse.

“They do a great job of getting that last check in,” Notre Dame head coach Kevin Corrigan said. “They do a great job of scraping passing lanes and knocking balls down and doing that stuff. … I think we contributed way too much to the turnovers at the offensive end.”

THE BADNotre Dame’s turnoversThe Irish turned the ball over more than twice as much as Syracuse on Saturday. Of Notre Dame’s 17 turnovers, SU was credit-ed with causing seven. Attack Sean Rogers struggled against the Orange defense and turned the ball over four times by himself.

THE UGLYJohn KempThe Notre Dame goaltender came into the game with the second-best goals-against average in the country. He left the Car-rier Dome having given up a career-high 11 goals and was outplayed by Syracuse senior goaltender John Galloway.

5-3, Jovan Miller carried the ball along the left side of the offensive zone. As he tried to create separation from a defender, Keogh fl ashed open on the crease. Miller sent the ball to the senior attack and with his back to the goal, Keogh whipped the ball between his legs into the side of the net.

“Those kind of plays, I don’t really know, it just kind of happens,” said Keogh, who scored four goals in the game.

Palasek added another creative SU goal to start the third quarter.

As Ianzito crashed down the right side, Palasek cut to the front of the goal, shaking his stick at his teammate to call for the ball. Ianzito sent a pass high to the junior, but he jumped, made the catch and put it in the net in one motion.

Notre Dame came into the game allowing just 5.9 goals through its fi rst 10 games. But SU broke into double digits on Keogh’s fi nal goal of the day in the fourth quarter. It marked the fi rst time an Irish opponent scored 10 or more since

Syracuse scored 12 and defeated Notre Dame last year in South Bend, Ind.

And despite a late Notre Dame charge, the offensive domination over a normally stingy defensive team gave Keogh and the Orange reason to celebrate.

“If we just move the ball around and take good shots, the ball is bound to fall in the back of the net,” Keogh said. “It was just some unselfi sh plays, and hopefully, it continues.”

By Michael CohenAsst. sports Editor

Back in February, John Galloway’s legacy wasn’t exactly lacking. Galloway already had two nation-al titles heading into his senior season. He already became the first SU goaltender to win the Ensign C. Markland Kelly Jr. Award as the nation’s best goalie. He’s a first-team All-American.

One of the only things people who had followed his progress — including Zach Babo, a staff writer for Inside Lacrosse — thought Galloway could do to bolster his resume was to become a better big-game player.

And on Saturday, in the Orange’s biggest game of the year against No. 1 Notre Dame, he did just that.

“You can’t say enough about him,” SU long-stick midfielder Joel White said. “He was unbe-lievable today. Some of the saves he came up with today, I caught myself watching him a little bit.”

Galloway made 12 saves against the Fighting Irish to guide Syracuse to an 11-8 win Saturday in the Carrier Dome. The Syracuse co-captain out-played John Kemp, his counterpart from Notre Dame, who commanded the nation’s stingiest defense coming into the game.

Despite playing in front of the largest home crowd of the season, the Orange defense came out slow and allowed the Irish to take a 2-0 lead midway through the first quarter. But Galloway’s steadfast play during his defense’s sloppy start injected life into Syracuse. Five of his 12 saves came in the first quarter. He held the Irish score-less over the final 8:36 of the opening session, and SU went on a 4-0 run to take the lead.

Max Pfeifer’s shot was turned aside. Ryan Foley was stoned on a catch-and-shoot opportu-nity. Pfeifer was turned away again. White said that stretch kept the Orange alive early.

“That game could have went completely differ-ent if he doesn’t have four or five saves in the first quarter for us,” White said.

The Irish scored first to open the second quarter, but Galloway responded and held them scoreless for the next 16:31 stretching into the second half.

On a man-up situation for Notre Dame in the early moments of the second quarter, midfielder David Earl maneuvered past three Syracuse defenders to within a few paces of Galloway. His shot was turned aside by the SU goalie, and Colin Igoe’s putback attempt was stoned as well. The crowd erupted.

“I thought we were very slow to slide defen-sively, especially early in the game, and they got some good looks as a result,” Syracuse head coach John Desko said. “Fortunately, John was there to make some big saves and come up with posses-sions for us.”

A few minutes later, he blocked a low shot by Sean Rogers — inverting his stick to cover the bot-tom portion of the goal. The three first-half goals the Irish managed were tied for its second-lowest output of the season.

And though Notre Dame limited his long-distance clearing opportunities for most of the game, his one successful outlet pass resulted in a Syracuse goal.

With play unsettled in front of the SU goal, Galloway scooped the ball for one of his two ground balls of the night. Looking up at the clock, he realized the Orange had to move quickly down

field with less than 30 seconds remaining in the first half.

SU attack JoJo Marasco darted free from his defender, and Galloway spotted him. What fol-lowed was a perfectly placed and perfectly weight-ed 65-yard pass that landed softly in Marasco’s stick. He wrapped around the goal from right to left and found Scott Loy waiting on the crease for an easy goal.

“I saw JoJo take a drop step, and I thought if I could drop it over him I could set up a good look,” Galloway said. “Him and I have developed a good connection for that. … Every time we get a chance and he gets a step or two, we’re willing to try it out.”

As Galloway thrived, Notre Dame’s John Kemp stumbled. The nation’s second-best goal-tender in goals-against average gave up the highest total of his career. Prior to Saturday’s 11 goals, Kemp had never allowed double digits to an opponent.

The play of Galloway was something Irish head coach Kevin Corrigan thought was “ter-rific.” In a game that came down to which team made more big plays, Corrigan said Galloway helped tip that scale in SU’s direction.

“He absolutely made some great saves,” Cor-rigan said. “And I thought he was one of the big differences in the game.”

The Syracuse women’s lacrosse team defeated Villanova 20-6 Sunday, earning a share for the regular-season Big East title along with George-town. Senior Tee Ladouceur led the Syracuse (10-7, 7-1 Big East) offense with a career-high eight points.

The Orange also beat No. 5 Loyola 10-9 Friday. The game went into halftime deadlocked, but SU went on a 5-0 run to break it open. Loyola stormed back from a 10-5 deficit, but SU pulled out the one-goal victory. Syracuse defeated a ranked team for the first time in eight tries this season.

The win capped off a strong finish to the regular season after a 3-6 start. The two wins over the weekend pushed Syracuse’s winning streak to five.

The Orange begins play in the Big East tournament Thursday. SU is seeded second and will face Loyola in a rematch at 5:30 p.m. The winner of that game will face the winner of Georgetown vs. Notre Dame. The tourna-ment champion earns an automatic bid to the NCAA tournament. Syracuse is not guaran-

teed an at-large bid to the tournament.

SoftballThe Syracuse softball team swept Seton Hall over the weekend to tie the program record for wins in a season with 36. The Orange (36-11, 12-5 Big East) beat the Pirates (15-32, 3-19) 10-0 and 5-0 on Saturday and finished the sweep with an 8-0 vic-tory Sunday. SU has now shut out its opponent in six straight games.

Jenna Caira led the way in the circle again. The junior pitcher earned all three wins for the Orange. Sophomore Stacy Kuwik pitched six scoreless innings in relief on the weekend.

SU scored eight runs in the first two innings to put the first game Saturday out of reach. Hallie Gibbs hit a two-run home run in the first inning. SU took advantage of two Seton Hall errors and came through with some big hits to score six runs in the second.

Freshman Jasmine Watson and Gibbs pow-ered the Orange offense on the day. Watson and Gibbs each hit two home runs and combined to

drive in eight runs. The Orange broke out again in the second

inning Sunday. After Veronica Grant was hit by a pitch to load the bases, Stephanie Watts hit a grand slam to cap a five-run inning. Morgan Nandin went 3-for-3 at the plate and drove in the team’s first run on a single that inning.

Syracuse didn’t score again until the seventh inning when it added three more runs.

With the sweep, SU has now won 12 of its last 13 games. The Orange returns home to play Niagara Wednesday before closing out the regular season with a three-game series against Louisville this weekend.

TennisAfter defeating St. John’s 4-0 in the opening round of the Big East tournament, the Syracuse tennis team suffered a 4-1 loss to eventual runner-up South Florida on Friday.

Freshman Aleah Marrow picked up SU’s only victory at the No. 6 singles position, winning 6-3, 6-3.

Marrow was unable to secure a win in doubles play, however, falling with senior co-captain Simone Kalhorn at the No.2 spot 8-0. After senior co-captain Christina Tan and junior Alessondra Parra earned an 8-2 victory in the No.3 match, senior co-captain Emily Har-man and freshman Maddie Kobelt dropped the deciding No. 1 bout 9-7.

Harman and Tan also lost at the No. 1 and No.5 singles spots, falling 6-4, 6-3 and 6-1, 6-3, respectively. Kobelt lost the deciding match at the No. 3 slot, falling 2-6, 6-2, 6-2. Parra and Kalhorn, both trailing in their singles matches at the time, walked off the court mid-match.

The Orange defeated Rutgers and George-town in consolation matches Sunday and Monday. SU posted 4-1 and 4-2 victories in the matches.

With a victory against the Hoyas and an incomplete match against the Scarlet Knights, Marrow has won 10 consecutive completed sin-gles matches.

had more shots. We never had more possession.”Jankouskas stuck it out with the program until

this spring, when he said he informed SU head coach Ian McIntyre of his decision to transfer a couple of weeks before the university’s Spring Break. Jankouskas is one of nine players from last year’s roster who left the program. With the addition of two transfers this spring, the Orange has a current roster of just 17 players, of which 11 compose a starting lineup.

The numerous transfers and departures took place after Syracuse suffered through a 2-10-5 season, the lowest win total for the Orange since 1971. Syracuse scored just 10 goals in 17 games, getting shut out in nine matches.

The Orange’s poor season combined with play-ers leaving all come in McIntyre’s first year as Syracuse’s head coach. After he left Hartwick with a winning track record to take over at SU, the Orange finished with fewer wins than it did in for-mer head coach Dean Foti’s final year. Syracuse went 3-15 in Foti’s last season in 2009.

But McIntyre and those still a part of Syracuse continue to see the program heading in the right direction.

“We were very disappointed in not securing more tangible wins,” McIntyre said, “but I think the foundation has been laid. It doesn’t happen overnight, but I think we’ve made a good start.”

The foundation of the current Orange — 15 returning players and two transfers — has already made progress this spring. Syracuse exceeded its win total from the entire 2010 season this spring in just six matches.

And those who know McIntyre from his Hart-wick background believe the Syracuse program is on track. The Orange has a large incoming freshman class, and McIntyre said the success SU had recruiting shows that wins and losses are only part of the equation to get results.

Cincinnati head coach Hylton Dayes, who was on the winning end of the 4-0 shellacking that ended Syracuse’s season, believes McIntyre will turn the Orange into a Big East force.

“Just watching from a recruiting standpoint, it looks as if Ian is getting his type of player into the program now,” Dayes said in a phone interview. “He has a chance to reshape the team and the program the way he wants to, and it takes time.”

•••Jankouskas walked out of his one-on-one meet-ing with the SU coaches at the end of last season aggravated. He and McIntyre went back and forth, disagreeing on certain things. And though he ulti-mately decided to remain with the team following that meeting, he said both he and the Orange coaches left angry.

Jankouskas opened the door to exit McIntyre’s office, and he walked into the smiling face of Michael Johansson, waiting for his turn.

Johansson never envisioned he would leave Syracuse before his four years of school were com-pleted. The Vallentuna, Sweden, native said he felt comfort and security behind SU’s scholarship offer when he was being recruited.

Originally, Johansson decided to remain at Syracuse after the season.

“Though we had played very bad, our results were bad, it’s like they promised me a four-year deal,” Johansson said. “I was like, ‘OK, I will stay here.’”

Johansson said McIntyre called him one of SU’s most talented players but told him that he wants to play with big, strong, fast players. He said McIntyre advised him to look to “go somewhere else.”

Johansson was shocked. He said he felt forced to leave after walking away from that meeting. He requested another meeting looking for answers.

McIntyre never gave a straight answer about what would happen if Johansson tried to stay, Johansson said. He said he felt as if Syracuse

would have pulled his scholarship had he attempt-ed to fight to remain on the team. SU assistant coach Jukka Masalin, who recruited Johansson, helped him transfer. Johansson will attend and play soccer at Division II Lander University in Greenwood, S.C., next year, the school where Masalin played college soccer.

McIntyre wouldn’t directly address Johans-son’s potential status at SU if he tried to stay but said he feels Johansson will be happy at Lander.

“Mike wants to be a central midfielder and play, and I think he’s found an environment that will allow him to do that and be successful on both ends,” McIntyre said.

•••The group of nine players who left SU — all for different reasons — includes two players who transferred to Syracuse from Hartwick with McIntyre: Jakob Karlgren and Konrad Anders-son. It includes five freshmen from a year ago, including Johansson and Jankouskas, the gem of McIntyre’s first recruiting class. And it includes two players who transferred to Syracuse from other universities.

Both Johansson and Jankouskas pointed to McIntyre’s style of play as a key reason for their overall frustration.

For most of the season, they said SU incorpo-rated a 4-5-1 formation with one forward up top. Typically, that forward was Jankouskas.

Jankouskas said he was not used to playing up front by himself, and he didn’t feel like it fit his style of play.

“I’d never get the ball to me, and it was just — my goal wasn’t to score,” Jankouskas said. “It was just to lay it off and hold the ball up.”

The Orange did switch up formations, McIntyre said. Syracuse played a 4-4-2 formation for much of the game in its 3-2 overtime victory over Colgate, a nationally ranked team at the time.

“It can kind of morph and change at times. We’ve played a 4-3-3 at times as well,” McIntyre said. “It’s really dependent upon the players that we have available and those guys that are per-forming well.”

Syracuse’s goal on offense last season centered on getting the ball into the offensive half as quick-ly as possible. This means rather than playing a possession-style game, working the ball up field and stringing passes together, the defense would clear the ball out from SU’s defensive end and send a ball in the air to someone up top.

Jankouskas pointed to that style as a reason for the Orange’s lack of offense. And the balls through the air up field are toss-ups, ones that Jankouskas said made it harder to keep possession.

That led to games in which chances were few and far between. In a 4-0 loss to South Florida, the Orange took just four shots — two on goal. In an overtime loss to Adelphi, SU mustered just three shots.

Even in most of the games in which SU cap-tured a win or draw, the Orange still couldn’t put together a consistent attack. Syracuse’s first win of the season came in an overtime match with Northeastern on a free kick by Nick Roydhouse in the 96th minute.

Prior to that shot, Syracuse had two shots in total. None on goal.

“Especially when there were home games, I felt kind of embarrassed because we got outplayed pretty much every game,” Jankouskas said.

Jankouskas said he felt McIntyre probably preferred a more possession-style game. Johans-son said he asked McIntyre about playing that style. He said McIntyre told him he felt playing the current style of play was the only way Syracuse could earn points.

But Johansson didn’t fit.“I’m not very big, very strong, I’m not that kind

of player,” Johansson said. “I want the ball at my feet. And they knew that, and that’s how I play.”

Jankouskas said some players were used out of position. David Neumann, a defender who played right back, is a great one-on-one defender, Jank-

ouskas said. But in Syracuse’s formation, he was forced to play more forward — something that doesn’t play to his strengths.

McIntyre said he has no specific style of play that he forces upon his players. Each year, he tries to find a style of play that fits his personnel.

Ideally, McIntyre said he would prefer “techni-cal players that can deal with the ball,” but a coach and a program need to utilize their players’ strengths and hide their weaknesses.

“I think ultimately you create a system that best fits your players,” McIntyre said, “and not the other way around.”

Karlgren, a Swedish defender who came to Syracuse from Hartwick with McIntyre, left SU after the season to pursue a professional career overseas. He plays in France for Vesoul on a five-month contract.

Karlgren said in an email that the more direct style of play McIntyre employed this past season wasn’t his trademark at Hartwick.

“Our midfielders (at Hartwick) were very skill-ful with the ball, and we kept much more pos-session and played shorter,” Karlgren said in an email to The Daily Orange. “At SU, we had just two weeks to put together the team and our own game did not work as well as we wanted. Mac is a very tactical coach, and he will use the tactic he thinks we have the greatest chance to beat our opponent.”

Jankouskas said he plans on transferring to either Penn State or Lander, where he would play alongside Johansson. Fredrik Forsman and Kon-rad Andersson are both back in Europe. Skyler Russell transferred to Rollins College.

Jon Mangram remains at SU but left the team for personal reasons. He said it had nothing to do with the style of play, playing time or anything that reflects upon the Syracuse team itself.

Jankouskas and Johansson both alluded to broken promises that led to their departures. For Jankouskas, he said the SU coaches told him they would play a “keep the ball and attack” style of play. For Johansson, he felt as if he lost the secu-rity of having a four-year scholarship to SU.

McIntyre said when taking over a program, there’s always going to be a time for transition. That was even more of the case in the Syracuse program.

Only 10 players remained on the team that played for Foti. McIntyre brought four transfers from Hartwick and a large freshman class to SU. A couple of transfers from other colleges rounded out the roster.

“It has to be we’re looking for those individuals that want to be a part of what we’re doing here at Syracuse, and it’s not for everyone,” McIntyre said. “You’re always looking for the right fit.”

•••To Roydhouse, morale has never been higher in the Syracuse men’s soccer locker room.

The group of 17 has played well this spring. The Orange earned a 2-2 draw against a Monmouth team that made the NCAA tournament a year

ago. Syracuse won a three-team tournament at Binghamton by defeating Iona and Binghamton.

In SU’s first four games of the spring, the Orange scored 10 goals. That was the same num-ber it scored for an entire season last fall.

“It took a long time for us to build a collective unit and come together,” Roydhouse said. “It’s unfortunate it took until spring that we’ve actual-ly gotten to know how each other play and things like that. So we’re starting to build momentum for next season.”

Injuries and lack of depth from the departures have turned into obstacles this spring. Some play-ers have been forced to play out of position. Mid-fielder Mawuena Agbossoumonde said he played forward in a recent game, the first time in his career he played up top.

Louis Clark, a forward who transferred to SU this spring from Division II Ashland University, is already standing out. McIntyre said Clark leads the team in goals for the spring. The other transfer, goalkeeper Phil Boerger, who left Evansville, has split time with returning keeper Ryan Jones in net.

Nine players left the program, but the 17 that remain have shown rapid improvement. For a coach who has preached patience in the overhaul of the SU program, it is a welcome sign.

“I feel that we have a terrific core here,” McIntyre said. “I’m excited about our new addi-tions, and we’ve certainly got a roster full of young men that are delighted to be at SU.”

Carter admitted that an uneasy feeling crept through his mind after he thought he might get selected on Friday in the second and third rounds. His name was never called on Friday.

But those questions all ended when he was the first running back taken from the Big East.

“I was a little uneasy,” Carter said. “I’m like, ‘Oh, man. I have to wait another day.’ But honestly, I was pretty much patient. And it paid off. My phone’s blowing up right now.”

In a press conference Friday to address his postspring practice depth chart, SU head coach Doug Marrone rifled off qualities he said would make Carter attractive to NFL suitors.

“I think what an NFL team would see in Delone is his tough style of running,” Marrone said. “(He’s) an every-down-type back. He’s physical. He can move the pocket. Good leader-ship ability. Doesn’t fumble. Carries the ball well. Those things.”

Bridges said he received interest from all

32 NFL teams about Carter. In the end, Carter joined a Colts team with arguably the best quarterback in NFL history in Peyton Man-ning. He also joined one that looks to be rather crowded in the backfield.

Injuries and the lack of a clear No. 1 running back forced the Colts to go with a committee approach last season. Veteran Joseph Addai led the team with 495 rushing yards. Second-year back Donald Brown of Connecticut was right behind with 471. Mike Hart showed promise in limited late-season attempts.

Carter said he wasn’t worried about play-ing time. In talking with the coaching staff, including head coach Jim Caldwell, he said he would be willing to get on the field whatever way possible. Especially playing with a future Hall of Fame quarterback in Manning.

“It’s crazy. It’s definitely an honor,” Carter said of playing alongside Manning. “He’s one of the greatest to do it at quarterback. He’s a general. I can’t wait to learn from him and pick his brain.”

Hogue goes to LionsDoug Hogue was reading a story about him-self. He saw his name in The Journal News on Sunday: “Doug Hogue has been drafted to the Detroit Lions.” Humbled but jubilant, Hogue still almost couldn’t believe it actually

happened. “My parents picked up a copy of The Jour-

nal News today, and it’s still amazing,” Hogue said. “… It’s like, ‘Wow. This is real. This is really happening.’”

Hogue was the second and final Syracuse player to be selected in the 2011 NFL draft on Saturday. He joined Carter as the only other member of the Orange to hear his name called. He went 157th overall to the Detroit Lions in the fifth round.

Hogue said he was anxious Saturday after nearly three days of waiting. When he heard

his name called, he and his family rejoiced at his sister’s house in Yonkers, N.Y.

Lions linebackers coach Matt Burke told reporters after the selection that Hogue will likely see time at both the strong- and weak-side linebacker positions, as well as some time on special teams. He said Hogue was the type of player the Lions wanted.

“He plays in space a lot, he’s walked in the slot, he covers ground, he can cover running backs and does all the sort of things that we look for in that position,” Burke said.

SP ORT S PA G E 2 4the daily orange

By Mark CooperASST. SPORTS EDITOR

The losses continued to pile up. The goals came at an increasingly

sparse rate. And as the Syracuse men’s soccer team struggled through last season — winning just two games and going winless in Big East play — Brett Jank-ouskas became more and more frustrated.

Nearly every part of the sea-son played a role in that frustra-

tion. The win-loss record. Syra-cuse’s style of play. Its formation. The inability to mesh together as a team. Even in games in which SU pulled out wins or draws, some players said the Orange was outplayed.

“I wish we could restart the year,” Jankouskas said. “Like start over in preseason and redo everything.

“It was frustrating. Especially how the games went, we never

DOUBLE TAKESU clinches share of Big East, becomes 1st to put up double digits against Irish

sean harp | staff photographerSTEPHEN KEOGH (28) celebrates with his teammates after scoring one of his four goals to help send No. 4 Syracuse to an 11-9 win over top-ranked Notre Dame on Saturday inside the Carrier Dome.

By Zach BrownSTAFF WRITER

A s the fi nal seconds ticked off the Carrier Dome scoreboard, the Syracuse men’s lacrosse team

couldn’t contain its excitement.Members of the Orange bounced

up and down on the sideline, unable to keep still. The clock fi nally reached zeroes, and they stormed out onto the fi eld, arms raised toward the sky.

The celebration was more than just an 11-8 triumph over No. 1 Notre Dame. The joy came from what was, in the eyes of the opposing coach, SU’s best performance this season with so much on the line.

“I’ve seen all their fi lm this year,” Fighting Irish head coach Kevin Cor-rigan said. “And that’s the best game I’ve seen them play.”

No. 4 Syracuse (13-1, 5-0 Big East) handed the Irish its fi rst loss of the season Saturday in front of 14,751 fans — the largest on-campus crowd for a college lacrosse game this year. In what was expected to be a slug-fest between two of the nation’s top defenses, the Orange offense proved to be the difference in securing at least a share of the Big East crown.

SU’s 11 goals were a season high for a Notre Dame opponent. The Irish (10-1, 5-1) had not allowed a team to reach double digits yet this year.

And though the offense has been much maligned at times this year, it seems to have fi gured out those problems with the NCAA tournament just two weeks away.

“There was a lot of people ques-

tioning our offensive skill,” senior attack Stephen Keogh said. “But it’s just execution. … When we’re unself-ish, we just move the ball around, get open looks and just get the ball in the net.”

Notre Dame scored the fi rst two goals of the game to take an early lead, but once Syracuse’s offense got started, it never looked back.

Jeremy Thompson crashed down the right side and bounced a shot between Irish goalie John Kemp’s legs to put the score at 2-1.

Then Steve Ianzito caught a pass about 15 yards from the cage and started to step into a shot. As the defense slid in front of him, Keogh popped open on the crease. Ianzito hit him with the pass, and Keogh turned around for an easy fi nish to knot the game at 2-2.

“I thought that the middies did a nice job looking for the attackmen and other players who were open within the offense,” SU head coach John Desko said.

Junior Tom Palasek then put the Orange in front with 3:33 left in the fi rst half on a diving shot into the crease. SU never trailed from that point on.

Syracuse goalie John Galloway tallied 12 saves, and the defense forced Notre Dame into 17 turnovers. And as the defense shined as it has most of this season, the offense put on a show at the other end.

With just more than three minutes left in the fi rst half and SU leading

Carter, Hogue selected Saturday in Draft

Nine players transfer or leave Orange after McIntyre’s 1st season, but optimism remains

By Brett LoGiuratoSPORTS EDITOR

Surrounded by family, friends and his agent, Delone Carter summed up the past year of his life with what amounted to a large exhale.

A little more than an hour after he was taken by the Indianapolis Colts in the fourth round of the 2011 NFL Draft, Carter, a former Syra-cuse running back, breathed a long sigh of relief. He was fi nally ready to start the next chapter in his life.

“It feels good, man,” Carter said in a phone interview Saturday. “It’s been a long journey. Now, I’m just opening up a new one.”

The Colts selected Carter with the 22nd pick in the fourth round — 119th overall — of the NFL draft on Saturday. He was the 11th run-ning back to come off the board. Linebacker Doug Hogue was the only other member of last year’s SU team to be selected in the draft, going to the Detroit Lions with the

26th pick in the fi fth round — 157th overall.

Notable Syracuse prospects not selected included linebacker Derrell Smith, center Ryan Bar-tholomew and punter Rob Long.

For Carter, being drafted marked the answer to all the ques-tions. His agent, Wes Bridges, said there were questions about the hip he dislocated in 2007, causing him to miss an entire season. There
