For Pat Driscoll, there’s more madness to March than col-lege basketball.
As an NCAA basketball official, operations director of the Syracuse chapter of Say Yes to Education and father of three, life for Pat Driscoll can be very hectic this time of year. At the end of the week, Driscoll
could be officiating a tournament game, which would round out his four months of NCAA refereeing.
Driscoll started officiating bas-ketball while he was a student at St. Bonaventure University in the late 1980s. While in school, Driscoll served as a manager of the men’s basketball team and officiated high school and intramural college games. That’s when he became interested in refereeing as a career.
“My dad was a high school basket-ball official,” Driscoll said. “That’s where I really started getting the bug for it, and then having played basket-ball myself, it just stuck with me.”
And for the past 17 years, Driscoll has been an NCAA official.
After graduating from St. Bonaven-ture in 1989, Driscoll furthered his interest in sports by getting involved in local government. For a time, Driscoll worked as parks and recreation com-missioner for the city of Syracuse. In 2011, he began working for the Syra-cuse chapter of Say Yes to Education.
As director of operations for Say Yes, Driscoll said he is responsible for working with his colleagues “to identify resources to support young people in the Syracuse city school district.” Say Yes sets up programs to increase high school graduation and college enrollment in Syracuse. It provides services at all grade lev-els, including scholarships for stu-dents headed to college.
It is the ability to work with these Say Yes scholars that Driscoll said is one of the highlights of his job.
Ahmeed Turner, Say Yes’ scholar-
ships director, said Driscoll is a fair and accessible employer.
“Pat is a pleasure to work with, probably the best boss I’ve ever had,” Turner said.
His careers in public education and
as a NCAA referee often complement each other, Driscoll said, and both require a calm, unbiased attitude.
“We all know how sport goes and how competition goes,” Driscoll said.

Tuition for the next academic year is expected to increase 3–3.6 percent and increases are likely in the com-ing years. Chancellor Kent Syverud said he hopes to get students more involved in the discussion about rais-ing tuition in the future.
Although he could not provide an exact date, Syverud said a release will be sent out within the next few days detailing how much students will have to pay to attend Syracuse University for the 2014-2015 academic year.
The Board of Trustees Execu-tive Committee approved this year’s increase at a March 6 meeting. The committee was briefed before it made the decision to approve, Syverud said.
The increase will not be uniform across all colleges, Syverud said, adding that it’s “more than just one number.”
At a March 4 Student Association meeting, SA Vice President Daniela Lopez told the assembly that her and President Boris Gresely had met with Syverud to discuss a potential tuition increase. Syverud asked Gresely and Lopez how the student body would respond to such a change, he said. Both Gresely and Lopez told him stu-dents would react negatively.
Gresely said he first heard that the tuition would increase during his meeting with Syverud.
“It was news to me. I had heard that tuition was going to increase, but because I was transitioning into office, that may have played a role into why I wasn’t aware what was going on,” Gresely said.
Syverud said he was surprised that Gresely and Lopez were not aware of the tuition-setting pro-cess earlier on. He said he hopes to include a student representative in the tuition-setting process next fall.
The Executive Committee doesn’t work on a representative basis, Gresely said, but there is a graduate student representative on the University Sen-ate Budget Committee. The Budget Committee doesn’t see all the numbers, though, he said.
The release will also describe the

Sam Tress, an undeclared freshman in the College of Arts and Science, loves to look put-together no mat-ter what the occasion is. She factors many elements into her personal style and is always finding new ways to coordinate her looks into some-thing different for every season.
Wearing an Aqua sweater and a Blank NYC vest with Hudson jeans, Frye boots and Fiji nail polish by Essie, Tress believes it’s important for women to dress for themselves because it gives them a sense of identity. The vest Tress is pictured in is her favorite winter staple, she said.
As a former actress, Tress was surrounded by intricately designed costumes during her high school show seasons. These gave her many ideas for her outfits and played a significant role in forming her own style.
“I’ve pieced together a lot of my own looks with the ideas I had seen in the dressing rooms,” Tress said. “It defi-nitely helped me learn to accessorize better, and I can top any outfit off with the appropriate makeup.”
Tress is pictured wearing Tory Burch stud earrings and a Michele watch. She prefers simple accessories that can be paired with almost any out-fit, but still give off a stylish edge.
As far as her fashion inspiration, it has stemmed from more places than her acting days dressing rooms.
“I spent one summer working at a designer-only consignment shop. I learned a lot about high-end brands and styled a lot of the looks inside of the store. Sorting the clothes and watching customers put outfits together taught me a lot about style, and influenced my own,” Tress explained.
Tress has her eye on a few great piec-es for the spring, and is dying to wear clothes she’s gotten over the winter.
“I’m looking forward to wearing a light, navy J.Crew jacket that I got for my birthday in November. It hasn’t gotten much use, needless to say. I also can’t wait to wear an orange Splendid maxi skirt I just bought. It’s bright and can easily be dressed up or down,” she said.
Whether it’s a pair of jeans and a sim-ple sweater or dark pants and a fur vest with minimal accessories, Sam Tress tries her best to look trendy day-to-day.

A philanthropic startup and the Con-nective Corridor are harnessing the power of social media to get students to invest in Syracuse’s beautification.
The Connective Corridor, a $42.5 million initiative to restore Syracuse to a resilient center of city-life, has partnered with Centscere, a social media donation service, to get Syracuse University and State University of New York College of Environmental Science
and Forestry students to contribute to the Syracuse Beautification Fund.
“It’s effortless and makes char-ity habitual,” said Ian Dickerson, the startup’s co-founder and chief executive. “If we can plant one tree, even that’s a success.”
In its second year, the Beautifi-cation Fund is administered by the Central New York Community Foun-dation, an organization with more than $140 million in assets that dis-tributes millions of dollars in grant money to nonprofits, according to its
website. The collaboration will allow students to donate through their Facebook and Twitter accounts.
The company founders chose to work with the Beautification Fund because of the benefits they received from operating out of the city. Down-town, the startup found an office space and was able to attain thou-sands of dollars in investments.
“People don’t realize how great the city really is,” said Mike Smith, a co-founder of Centscere and an SU graduate student.
The partnership comes during the second part of the corridor’s three-phase plan to connect the campus to downtown. The project will focus on acquiring money to complete small tasks along the corridor and gauging student interest in philanthropy.
To raise donations, Centscere col-lects small amounts of money through users’ social media actions, such as posts and Tweets that are assigned a monetary value, Dickerson said. The money is sent to the user’s charity of

Jessica Jackley didn’t always hold business people in high esteem.
So she never thought she would found a company that would raise more than $500 million in micro-loans for poor entrepreneurs.
Jackley is the co-founder of Kiva, the world’s first peer-to-peer micro-lending platform. She spoke in Max-well Auditorium Tuesday night for the third installment of the Tanner Lecture Series on Ethics, Citizenship and Public Responsibility.
Jackley spoke about her work as a social entrepreneur and champion for social equality, offering advice to stu-dents and community members hoping to “change the world” through emerg-ing technologies and innovation.
“It’s hard to imagine a person better suited for our Tanner Lecture Series than Jessica Jackley,” said Grant Reeher, the director of Max-well’s Campbell Public Affairs Insti-tute. “For all of her accomplishments as an entrepreneur and advocate for social change, it’s quite clear that she is just getting started in her career.”
Jackley began her lecture by draw-ing upon her experiences as an under-graduate student who eagerly hoped to change the world. She explained that

A Syracuse University organization wants students to know sustainabil-ity involves more than just being mindful of the earth, and aims to
spread that message in a creative competition in April.
SU Showcase for Sustainabil-ity is hosting a video and poster competition with the theme of “You Only Have Earth” and hopes to pro-mote awareness about how humans
affect the Earth.Rachel May, coordinator of sustain-
ability education at SU, said in an email that the university is holding the com-petition to get students to think cre-atively about the big issues in sustain-ability and to share their ideas with
other students and faculty members. “We know there are a lot of great
ideas out there, developed in course work, in students’ community ser-vice and entrepreneurial activities, and just floating around in people’s

“People get very excited around that, so there has
to be a party involved that can remain calm and balanced.”
One of the highlights of Driscoll’s early career was officiating a 2002 game between Georgetown
and Notre Dame, which ended with a Georgetown victory in quadruple overtime, he said.
But Driscoll’s services have not been limited to the Big East. He said he has been fortunate to oversee his first Duke University–University of North Carolina game this season, as well as working with some of the iconic Big Ten rival-ries, such as one between the University of Michigan and Ohio State University. Through-out his career, Driscoll has officiated three Final Four games in the NCAA Tournament. Driscoll said he is currently awaiting game assignments for this year’s tournament.
For Driscoll, being called on by different conferences is similar to working with differ-ent stakeholders in public education.
“It’s much like work, you’ve got to balance the different conferences that would like you to work for them,” he said.
On top of officiating NCAA games, Driscoll has been invited to teach others to officiate and improve referees’ skills. Driscoll said he teaches proper signaling and review rules to other officials.
Out of all his roles as an official, Driscoll says it is the people involved with the sport that he enjoys.
“The opportunity to act with the student athletes, coaches and fellow officials is really
what gets me most excited,” Driscoll said.Once basketball season begins in December,
Driscoll said he faces some difficulty balancing his careers and family. While on the road for games, Driscoll said technology has helped him keep in touch with those at Say Yes.
Driscoll said his family has been support-ive of him, which has made a difference. On multiple occasions, his family has traveled to watch him.
“Watching my dad officiate is a great expe-rience,” said Patrick Driscoll, his son, in an email. The younger Driscoll said that while his father travels frequently, this hasn’t negatively affected their relationship.
Pat Driscoll said his son recently joined him for the Big East tournament in New York City last week. Driscoll said he started working with the Big East in 1999 and it has been his primary conference ever since.
While he has a busy schedule, he feels that he is able to effectively balance everything. In the end, Driscoll said it is his family’s encouragement that allows him to keep everything in check.
Said Driscoll: “Being able to have their sup-port really makes a big difference.”

jackleyshe felt that she had a civic duty and public respon-sibility to make a difference.
After graduating from Bucknell University, Jackley promptly packed her bags and moved to California with no set career path in mind.
“I happened to move across from Stanford University and within a couple of days, I got a temp job,” she said. “As fate would have it, my job was in the administrative office of Stan-
ford’s Graduate School of Business.”Jackley described that experience as a “game
changer.” For the first time, she realized that the business people she once thought perpetuated inequality could actually use business skills and entrepreneurship to help the poor.
Jackley noted one particular lecture she attended at Stanford by Nobel Peace Prize recip-ient Dr. Muhammad Yunus. It marked a para-digm shift in her career path, she said. Yunus spoke about his work providing microgrants to entrepreneurs in developing countries.
The lecture inspired Jackley to move to East
Africa to volunteer and work with poor entre-preneurs, ultimately leading Jackley to found her microlending company, Kiva.
“Great entrepreneurs are great at seeing opportunities that others may not see, and are confident enough to take the steps to create value in those opportunities,” Jackley said. “The entre-preneurs that are funded through Kiva realize that having nothing doesn’t mean being nothing, and the microloans help them create value for themselves and those around them.”
Jackley offered her advice on the three most critical elements for finding success in entre-
preneurial endeavors: having a firm identity, listening to others and practicing empathy, and embracing uncertainty to act with humility.
Ginny Donohue, an SU alumna whose non-profit organization On Point for College has paid for more than 4,500 first generation college students’ educations, identified with Jackley’s work as a social entrepreneur.
Said Donohue: “After volunteering in homeless shelters, I was inspired to change my career path. Jessica is an inspiration and it’s great to see people making such a positive change in the world.”

Syracuse University’s 3–3.6 per-cent tuition increase for the next semester will affect all students on campus, which is why the executive committee should have a student representative for such proposals.
On March 6, the Board of Trust-ees’ executive committee proposed and approved the tuition increase, which ranges from 3–3.6 percent. With SU’s average tuition costs being $40,380, according to the univer-sity’s website, the range of increases goes from about $1,211–1,453. This is approximately the same amount as the 2012 increase, when SU raised tuition by about 3.6 percent for the 2012-2013 academic year.
Since students are the ones pay-ing for tuition, there should have been a student representative on the committee to ensure the tuition increases are in the students’ best
interests. It is good that Chancellor Kent Syverud and Kevin Quinn, vice president for public affairs at SU, want student input for future tuition increases, but there should have been a student on this com-mittee for the increase.
A student’s voice is necessary on this committee. Someone who is on campus and in classrooms on a daily basis is able to provide input and perspective that a member of the Board of Trustees would not have. It is important for a student to be involved with the planning behind increasing tuition because, ultimately, they are the ones who will have to pay for it.
Without representation, the entire student body is required to pay more for tuition without getting a chance to voice its opinion.
Though Syverud said tuition
costs are likely to continue to increase, SU should work to lower the percentage by which they increase by doing everything pos-sible to cut back on costs.
As SU increases its tuition, it should keep in mind to also increase the level of financial aid. When the tuition increased by 3.6 percent for the 2012-2013 year, SU also increased financial aid by 5.7 percent. Something similar should be done every time there is a tuition increase to help students who are already struggling to afford to attend SU.
For the future tuition increases, SU should do all it can to make sure raising the costs of attending the school is beneficial. It means having more student input, increasing finan-cial aid alongside tuition costs and minimizing the percent of growth.

Instant replay modernizes Major League Baseball
Baseball fans are like the old-school father who refuses to trade-in his ancient cell phone
for something new because he “knows how to use it.” Major League Baseball is taking a big step to change that.
The 2014 MLB season will be like none other in history as this is the first year an instant replay system will be available to umpires.
Managers, players, umpires and fans have gotten a chance to see how this new system will work in real game time action during these first couple of weeks of spring training.
The first test came in a game between the Toronto Blue Jays and Minnesota Twins on March 3. Every team in the MLB will be involved in five spring training games during which the technology will be tested.
As America’s favorite past-time, baseball, has always had a sense of nostalgia and a deep appreciation for its rich history. Many are opposed to implementing instant replay out of fear it would prolong an already three-hour event and also take away from the flow of the game.
All other major American sports have adopted some form of replay and it’s about time baseball joined the party.
MLB should be applauded for finally taking this step. Umpires are there only to oversee the game and make sure it is being played the right way. In a sport where some of the players’ contracts are the largest out of any other major American sport, winners and losers should never be decided on the account of an umpire’s judgment call.
Each manager will begin the game with one challenge. If the challenge stands, he retains his challenge. All plays are challengeable except checked swings, balls and strikes, trapped balls and whether or not a runner left the base too early when tagging up.
These exception plays allow for some human input to remain in the
game and should appease those that fear baseball is getting away from its roots.
Another cool feature of the new replay system is that teams are now allowed to show the controversial replays on the jumbotrons and in-park video boards. This adds an entire new element to crowd participation, allowing the fans to give the umpires a piece of their mind, good or bad.
The new replay system should also decrease the amount of exaggerated tirades and managers getting thrown out of games. Simply knowing that there are hundreds of cameras watch-ing at every angle triple-checking the play to ensure the right call might discourage managers from disagree-ing with the call.
From every perspective you look at it, it seems like the addition of instant replay will only enhance the game. When it comes down to it, getting the call right is all that matters. I’m sure every manager in the MLB would gladly take a few extra minutes to get the call correct rather than receive a postgame apology from the MLB head office for a blown call that cost his club the game.
Rule changes are constantly dis-cussed in the NBA and NHL and are altered yearly in the NFL. As athletes become faster and stronger, the rules of the sports adjust accordingly so it only makes sense that as better tech-nology becomes available we allow the same adjustment. The MLB is finally changing with times and embracing a more modern game. Hey baseball, welcome to the 21st century.

A non-profit organization has made it clear that the security of downtown Syra-cuse’s workers, inhabitants and visitors
must be protected.The Downtown Committee of Syracuse
proposed adding 10 surveillance cameras to several spots in the city at the Syracuse Common Council’s Public Safety Committee meeting Tuesday evening. The added cameras
would increase security for approximately 3,000 residents.
If the Downtown Committee’s proposal is passed more than 40 cameras including the police department’s existing network, would monitor the city.
New cameras would be installed by this summer and would be positioned in high traffic areas, including Salina, Jefferson, Warren, Clinton and Walton streets. Exact locations have not been yet announced.
But before the cameras are installed, critics say Syracuse’s crime rates need to be assessed.
“If we are going to place people under surveillance in this city we need to justify it based on patterns of serious criminality that put people at risk and I don’t see that in the downtown area,” said Barrie Gewanter, director of the New York Civil Liberties Union’s Central New York chapter.
A small number of Syracuse residents attended the meeting, including property developers, restaurant owners, police offi-cers and business owners.
Attendees raised concerns about criminal activity, drug use and aggressive panhandlers. Ed Koolakian, who has lived in downtown Syra-cuse for three years, said the cameras will be a positive addition downtown because of all the criminal activity.
To prove his point, Koolakian said he witnessed a pregnant woman who was downtown nearly overdose on drugs. He said she had to be taken to the hospital.
Councilman Jake Barrett raised ques-tions regarding how long the footage would be archived and who would have access to view the footage.
In a statement, the Downtown Committee’s executive director Merike Treier said that the purpose of her group’s efforts was to maintain a high quality of life in the area. The organiza-tion wishes to encourage more investments in the area by providing officers with ample resources to reduce crime, Treier added.
“The proposed surveillance camera program is a proactive approach to ensur-ing that downtown Syracuse remains one of the safest neighborhoods in Syracuse,” she said.
The committee has also cited a survey of 500 people who were asked their prefer-
ences on the installation of new cameras. Of those surveyed, more than 80 percent said
they support the added security measures.Pamela Hunter, chairwoman of the Public
Safety Committee, oversaw the installations of the city’s first surveillance cameras on the Near Westside in 2011. Since then, she said, neighborhood associations and other groups have been clamoring for similar measures to keep their homes safe.
Although Hunter said she understands the reasons for their demands, she is wary of overusing cameras to deter crime or identify perpetrators.
“While I am not interested in a police state, ensuring the safety of our residents and those that work and visit the city is paramount,” she said. “We need to ensure we identify and imple-ment viable solutions to achieve this goal.”
Neighborhoods that have implemented surveillance cameras have been successful in
lowering crime rates. According to the Syra-cuse Police Department’s report, the Near Westside has seen a drop in burglaries, tres-passing and reports of gun violence since the cameras were installed.
Opponents of the proposal are not con-vinced that the area’s crime levels make such security options necessary.
Said Gewanter: “The reality is what cameras do is they help police investigate crime after it occurs. They have no deterrent effect on crime and we still haven’t answered the question what pattern of crime are we looking at.”

tuition-setting process for the 2014-2015 school year, which began last fall during former Chan-cellor Nancy Cantor’s tenure, Syverud said. SU increases its tuition nearly every year, he said.
Still, Gresely said he questions the increase, adding that “three percent is a lot.” Gresely said he thinks the increases in tuition can be
attributed to more than just budgeting, but also from SU enrolling too many students.
“I think we have too many students enrolled at SU and I think that ultimately is making things much more expensive,” he said.
Gresely said he will continue to meet with Syverud to learn more details about the tuition increases. He said he hopes to create a task force to revisit the decision and possibly create a model to cap tuition.
heads, and we want to see them out there in the world,” she said.
The competition runs through April 4 with
winners announced on April 21 during a 4 p.m. ceremony in Watson Theater, according to the SU Sustainability in Action website. The entries will go along with the theme of “You Only Have Earth.”
May said the winning entries will appear on SU’s website during Earth Week and be shown on video screens and bulletin boards around
campus. Earth Week runs from April 14–22.The winner of the special category for short
videos about fresh water, rain water capture and green infrastructure will be shown on screens in the Carrier Dome next fall, she added, when the new rain water capture sys-tem is implemented.
This is the third time SU has held a sustain-ability video competition, May said.
“The first one was initiated by students in 2011, and we revived the idea in 2012, when we received about 20 submissions,” she said.
This year’s competition includes both adver-tising-style posters and scientific posters that explain a research problem, along with video submissions, May said.
May added that entries should contain an explanation of a problem and indications of what people can do about it, and be visually compelling, entertaining or emotionally powerful.
Christopher Junium, an assistant profes-sor of earth sciences at SU, said in an email anything that works to raise awareness of the lasting effects of humans on the Earth, even if it is small, is a great idea.
“Efforts like the Showcase for Sustainability are good for the average student passing by, but can be transformative to the participants who become intimately aware of a particular issue,” he said. “From there, these students can share what they have learned.”

choice. It starts with small-change donations: five, or maybe 25 cents at a time.
The founders call it micro-giving. Eventually, that grows into a long-term habit, they said.
An attainable goal — and a common one in philanthropy — is to get five percent of Cents-cere’s donor base to contribute to the fund in the
first quarter, said Linda Dickerson Hartsock, the director of community engagement and economic development at SU who oversees the Connective Corridor. For Centscere, that would be about nine of its 180 users.
But Hartsock has more ambitious goals. She hopes to see five percent of all SU students donate — more than 1,000 contributors. In a year, she wants to see 10 percent.
As of March 18, two weeks after the project launched, 10 of Centscere’s users have signed up
and raised $30.At the end of the year, a committee composed
of SU officials, students and community mem-bers will decide how to use the money. The scale of every proposal depends on how much is raised.
Regardless of the specifics, each task will improve the land around the Connective Cor-ridor, Hartsock said.
“We need to do more than build streets,” she said. “We need to activate them.”
For students, the partnership is also a subtle
test to measure their interest in both philanthropy and their local community, Hartsock said. It will be a good indicator of the relationship students have with Syracuse.
The advantage of asking students to invest, she added, is that if they invest their own money into the project, they’re going to feel more attached to the city — and more willing to go beyond the Hill.
Said Hartsock: “It gets them thinking of Syracuse as their backyard.”

Editor’s note: In honor of Syracuse University’s upcoming 144th birthday, the Orange Traditions series highlights the lasting influence and impor-tance of SU in the lives of students and alumni.
For the Marczak family, the love of the Orange spans further than the typical four years. Their Syracuse University
love affair has lasted more than a century.Almost every living member of the family has
attended Syracuse and has found their spouse amongst the snow-capped hills of campus.
It all started with Jay Gregory. He studied as
an undergraduate student and also studied at the College of Law from 1894–1900, and played catcher for the SU baseball team in 1898; he met a music major, Maude Kaufman, who attended SU from 1896–1898. It was love at first sight.
“I was always told that, in the early 1900s, my grandfather saw my grandmother from afar, and said, ‘That’s the girl I’m going to marry,” said Ginny Marczak, a 1969 home eco-nomics and education alumna.
Years later, Jay and Maude had a child, Janice, who transferred to SU for her junior year and graduated in 1936 with a degree in chemistry. Next in the line came Janice’s daughter, Ginny, and the tradition continued: Ginny met her husband, Larry Marczak, a graduate student pursuing a master’s degree in science.
The couple had three children: Liza, Tom and John, and two out of three came to SU. Liza, the eldest child, ultimately decided to go to Indiana University.
Tom and John both graduated from SU in
2000, in television, radio and film production, and information management and technology, respectively. In honor of their graduation, which was also the 100-year anniversary of their great-
grandfather Jay Gregory’s graduation, the family purchased a block in the Orange Grove.
The Marczaks’ academic interests are diverse, which Ginny said is part of the reason

As a corporate analyst for JP Morgan Chase & Co., Eddie Walter should have confidence run-ning through his veins. But every so often, he flips through a journal on his desk for a quick boost.
That journal is filled with advice from a pro-gram that helped shaped the way he looked at the business world. As a Syracuse University alumnus with plenty of experience under his belt, Walter said he still uses skills from that program — the Dulye Leadership Experience — in his life today.
Sixteen SU juniors and seniors will travel to the Berkshires of Western Massachusetts from March 21-23 to participate in the DLE, to learn
how to take the fear out of finding a job and building a professional network after college.
Linda Dulye, founder of the DLE and a ’77 SU alumna, created the program to transform stu-dents into confident professionals who stand out among their peers and other college graduates in the country. It teaches them how to show off their best skills to potential employers, making them invaluable to their company. Ninety percent of DLE graduates have jobs or internships within three months of completing the program.
One hundred and fifty hopefuls applied to the program this year, Dulye said. It marked the highest number of applicants the program has ever received.
From there, Dulye, Sue Edelstein, faculty mem-
ber and mentor, David Bartell, director of develop-ment and two DLE student alumni narrow down the applicants to 26. The applicants are then inter-viewed over Skype and first asked the question in
orientation, “So tell me about yourself.”Dulye said she saw a common thread in each
of the 2014 finalists with previous DLE gradu-ates. Each one had to tell their story, which can be extremely emotional, she said.
Trenna Hill, a senior child and family stud-ies major, will attend the program this year. Although many of the mentors are in business-related fields, she said she is excited to gain from their experience.
“I’m a sponge going into the program,” Hill said. “I want to learn as much as I can.”
Hill said she is most interested to learn about networking and how to build up her interview skills. With experience teaching in local schools

“The Grand Budapest Hotel” Director: Wes AndersonCast: Ralph Fiennes, F. Murray AbrahamMathieu Amalric, Adrien BrodyRelease date: March 7Rating: 4/5
dailyorange.com @dailyorange march 19, 2014 • PAGE 11
Pleasant stayWith witty screenplay, ‘The Grand Budapest Hotel’ entertains niche audienceBy Vince Lonctostaff writer
If you are a fan of wordy dialogue and uncon-ventional camera angles, then “The Grand Budapest Hotel” is a must-see. But if your
tastes are not quite that specific, it may be wise to sit this one out.
Director Wes Anderson’s latest adventure begins at the Grand Budapest Hotel of the 1960s, long after the once-palatial establish-ment’s heyday. A young writer (Jude Law) decides to take a summer sabbatical to the relic in efforts to clear his mind and learn the his-tory of the legendary hotel.
During his stay, the writer becomes aware of the presence of Mr. Moustafa (F. Murray
Abraham), the elderly and mysterious owner of the Grand Budapest. When the writer asks Moustafa about how he came to inherit the hotel, Moustafa shares his experiences with the hotel, dating back to the 1930s.
The rest of the film follows the misad-ventures of a young Mr. Moustafa (Tony Revolori), nicknamed Zero, and the Grand Budapest’s legendary concierge Gustave H. (Ralph Fiennes) in the wake of the murder of one of the hotel’s most distinguished patrons. Instead of leaving her massive fortune to her family, Madame D. (Tilda Swinton) bequeaths everything, including a priceless Renaisannce painting, to Gustave.
This results in outrage in Madame’s family, leading to a magnificent chase across Europe
on the brink of World War II. Though the original works of famous 1930’s
Austrian novelist Stefan Zweig inspired Ander-son, the director was able to make the film his own. Anderson wrote the screenplay and incorporated many of his trademarks, featur-ing several extremely wide-angle shots, using a rostrum camera to bring certain objects to the forefront of his shots and quickly panning back and forth between characters in scenes of close dialogue or action. These quirks, though eccentric, moved the film along nicely.
The story was told in clever fashion. Ander-son’s screenplay went back and forth between the 1960s and 1930s, but not too often to confuse the viewer. At the same time, though, “The Grand Budapest Hotel” moved a bit fast, and there were scenes during which the audience could have used more explanation. Since the film was only 100 minutes, Anderson certainly could have spared more time for more specific explanations.
Though the film had many humorous moments, they rarely varied in their composi-tion. Most of “The Grand Budapest Hotel’s” laughs were dialogue-driven, often boasting wordplay, and if they weren’t, the jokes were specifically situational. Those who are inclined to more in-your-face kinds of gags might not be
entertained by Anderson’s sense of humor.Anderson employed an all-star cast to
tell Zero and Gustave’s story. Ralph Fiennes was spectacular, as the character he created managed to be both sophisticated and bullish, showing off his versatility. Tony Revolori was fun to watch as Zero, the green lobby boy who was in over his head.
Though their roles are somewhat limited, F. Murray Abraham and Jude Law exhibited good chemistry in their scenes together. Law was good as the de facto narrator of the story; Abra-ham spelled out his memories of the Grand Budapest with tact.
The rest of the cast featured a wealth of big names, another characteristic of Wes Ander-son films. Hollywood standouts such as Jeff Goldblum, Adrien Brody, Edward Norton, Bill Murray and Owen Wilson are all members of the film’s ensemble. Since the cast was stock-piled with talent from top to bottom, “The Grand Budapest Hotel” was without an acting Achilles’ heel.
Overall, the film is strong in nearly every area, so long as you are inclined to this type of flick. It is not for everyone, but for those who it is, “The Grand Budapest Hotel” is just that: grand.

why they seem to keep coming back — she referred to SU as a “one size fits all” univer-sity, and Tom agrees.
“Originally, Syracuse wasn’t at the top of my list,” Tom said. “I was dead set on Duke, and then Virginia. But I had been (to the SU campus) so much growing up.”
When John and Tom were young, the fam-ily would come to the campus each year and have a picnic on the Quad.
“Then I thought, ‘Why would I go anywhere else?’ Just from day one, it was literally a perfect fit,” Tom said.
John remembered his long summer days up on the hill, ambling through Marshall Street and having a slice of pizza at Cosmos Pizza and Grill. The campus was a major part of their childhoods.
Looking back, Ginny said Syracuse still stays with her.
“When I was faced with a problem in my first years of teaching, I would push myself by saying, ‘Hey, I graduated from Syracuse. I can figure this out.’ So, I guess you could say, my years there gave me the confidence to face problems later in life,” Ginny said in an email.
Even though the Marczaks are all alumni now, they’re still a Syracuse-centric family. John even represented the Orange at his wedding: all of his groomsmen, wore orange-and-blue striped ties. The family always makes the trip back to campus whenever they get the chance.
“I have my banner for the game for the front of the house for every football game and basketball game. And of course we have to go back every year to get the new T-shirt!” Ginny said. “I just love the camaraderie I feel when I go back on campus.”
and playing on SU’s lacrosse team, Hill said she is ready to try something completely new.
Edelstein, founder of The Edelstein Group, which specializes in the professional develop-ment of future executives, has taught at the program since the beginning in 2008. She said that the skills taught in the boot camp range from what to wear, to how to make small talk, to what to eat and much more. Edelstein said the “coaches” at DLE act as mentors to the students and keep a relationship that lasts years outside of the program.
Edelstein said 60 percent of jobs are not publicized; so networking is key. With her back-ground in advertising, Edelstein teaches about selling yourself to future employers in an inter-view. She said the key is setting oneself apart.
“The presentation that I have is about standing out, telling your story, telling your experience,” she said. “You don’t think you have any experience? Well, you do.”
DLE graduates show more ambition and potential than other students, Eddie Wal-ter said. Walter was a senior analyst at the Orange Value Fund, captain of the SU Men’s Club Soccer Team and president of Psi Upsi-lon during his years at Syracuse.
“You learn to excel as the lowest man on the totem pole in your group,” Walter said. “It’s not who you are, where you come from, what your background is. It’s a very diverse group of students from multiple colleges.”
Walter said he still keeps in touch with his mentors at DLE and with Dulye for guidance about future job prospects.
“How many students still graduate with a huge question mark still in their head and don’t really know where they’re going?” Dulye said. “Making dreams come true is the goal.”

“If he wasn’t doing as good in school with the grades, the way I would punish him is I would take away basketball practice,” Trina said. “That was the only thing that worked.”
By his second year at City, he was staying out of trouble, averaging more than 20 points per game and was one of the top players in the basketball hotbed that is the Charm City.
•••C.J. soared in the air to dunk, with his good friend Will Barton leaping to contest it.
These were the kind of open gyms in the summer at City College. Fair and Will were the regulars, but sometimes Antonio Barton and Faust would be there, too.
It was a collection of talent that made C.J. better every day.
But on this day, the landing was awkward and C.J. crumpled on the ground where he lay still for a few minutes.
Eventually, he popped back up and finished the day. On the walk back home, though, it was clear something was wrong.
“He just couldn’t walk no more,” Will Bar-ton said. “We were kind of carrying him.”
City College made a run to the state cham-pionship that year, but C.J. watched from the sideline with a torn left ACL, serving as what amounted to a makeshift assistant coach. He wasn’t wired to be the injured star shouting from the bench, but his knowledge was vast for a 17-year-old.
His advice came sparingly during practice, but always resonated.
“It was like God was saying something,” Daniel said.
•••C.J. poked the ball loose and was off in the other direction. The lefty used his right hand to bounce the ball behind his back to his domi-nant hand.
Brewster Academy was already blowing out Tilton School in a battle of New Hampshire schools, and C.J. took off on his right leg to propel him rather than the scar-covered left. The guard who committed the turnover fouled Fair as he flushed home a dunk. He landed and smiled.
“C.J. just shook his head like, ‘What are you thinking?”’ Brewster head coach Jason Smith said. “Why didn’t you just let me go? Now you’re going to be a YouTube legend.”
C.J. had his explosiveness back, and was reshaping into the player Syracuse assistant coach Rob Murphy expected when he recruited the forward.
He had come to Brewster for a couple of reasons. The first was to play with better tal-ent, and the other was for the medical support provided by the school.
He was rehabbing that knee injury, so Mur-phy and Carl decided it made sense for him to go up to New Hampshire.
C.J. wasn’t totally sold at first, and his moth-er took it especially hard. But Will Barton was heading up to Brewster, too, and that made C.J. a little more comfortable.
The summer before heading to Brewster for his senior year, C.J. was back on the court, even if he wasn’t quite up to full strength. His confidence wasn’t all the way back, but that didn’t matter to SU, which had just seen guards Andy Rautins and Eric Devendorf successfully recover from similar injuries.
The first time Jim Boeheim actually went up to Brewster to watch C.J. practice, he played terribly.
“He was horrible,” Smith said. “I remember coach Boeheim saying, ‘We understand that you’re a good player,’ and the sense of relief that came over C.J.’s face.”
By the time the regular season started, Fair was who the Orange expected him to be. He and Barton were the two leading scorers on a team that also featured Kansas guard Naadir Tharpe, Minnesota guard Maurice Walker and Big 12 Player of the Year Melvin Ejim.
•••When everyone else’s interest in C.J. started to wane, SU’s picked up.
Syracuse started recruiting him heavily late in his sophomore year of high school. Maryland was in on him, as were Georgetown, Louisville and Kentucky.
But after the injury, the Terrapins and Wild-cats backed off. And while Syracuse emerged, Carl couldn’t even tell that the Orange was high on C.J.’s list.
“One day I said, ‘I know you don’t really want to go to Syracuse,’” Carl said, “‘so we’re not going to pursue that interest.’
“That was the first time I’d really seen him get mad at me. He never did that before. He was never dramatic or theatrical.”
It probably should have been obvious that SU appealed to him. He was from Baltimore, and most basketball players around his age in Baltimore worshipped Carmelo Anthony.
the school rests on Prospect Hill. That led to some confusion, though, because other schools shared the same moniker. And when the school expanded off the hill, the nickname soon created confusion with the nicknames of
other schools and was consequently changed to Broncos in 1939. At that point, it wasn’t Western Michigan, but rather Western State Teachers College.

fair“He had every kid wanting to go to Syra-
cuse,” Barton said.And it just so happened that Fair’s visit coin-
cided with a game between Anthony’s Denver Nuggets and the Phoenix Suns played in the Carrier Dome.
Fair hadn’t even committed yet, but he was already getting a royal welcome from fans who wanted to see him do what SU’s last great Balti-morean did.
“People asked for his autograph,” Trina said. “Me and my daughter was laughing at him just seeing how excited people were about him.”
He got to meet his idol that weekend, and saw the hero’s welcome he got in the exhibition.
“Carmelo I think put a little bit of pressure on him, too,” Carl said, “because Carmelo asked him, ‘Did you like the school?’ And he said, ‘Yeah I love it.’
“And Carmelo said, ‘What are you waiting for?’”
•••It was called Senior Night, but it was really C.J.
Fair Night. White Syracuse headbands were placed on
each seat lining the court. A handful of football players in the crowd had put together a sign reading “Ceezus.”
The game that followed — a loss to Geor-gia Tech — was a disappointing finale to a standout career, but he matched his career-high in scoring.
Behind the scenes, he’s shown a bit more emo-tion. He did cry after last season’s Final Four loss and gave Derrick Coleman a big hug after the emotional win against Duke in December.
“When I leave here I want to be remembered,” C.J. said. “You want to leave a good impression and be loved when you come back in 5–10 years.”
C.J. stepped to midcourt, framed jersey in hand. He held it to the Carrier Dome roof and cracked a big smile.
Maybe his jersey will be next to Anthony’s one day, but for now he’s enjoying his final run — even if he won’t make it apparent.

Kayla Treanor ran around the goal looking for any type of opening, but all she saw was a sea of crimson. There was no way to pass. No way to score.
The Orange was up by three just over five minutes into the game. It was about to pull away and Harvard could sense it. Needing a stop to grasp some momentum, a smattering of cheers rose from the Harvard sideline.
But then Treanor found a cutting Devon Collins, who whipped a shot past Harvard goalie Kelly Weis and into the net.
The applause subsided.“We talked about playing for each other
and just playing our game,” Syracuse head coach Gary Gait said. “And play hard for 60 minutes. And that was the focus and I thought for the most part, the team played well and got that done.”
It didn’t take 60 minutes for the fate of Tuesday night’s game to be decided — only the final score. No. 3 Syracuse (8-1, 2-1 Atlantic Coast) dominated on offense, outshooting the Crimson (3-3, 1-1 Ivy) nearly three to one as the Orange cruised to a 17-4 win over Harvard at the Carrier Dome in front of 537 fans.
Collins led Syracuse with three goals, but she was far from the only threat as 12 different players got on the scoreboard for SU. In total, the Orange outshot Harvard 37-13.
“I think that we’re just trying to get every-one involved more now,” Collins said, “and I think it’s harder for the defenses to focus when there’s threats coming from all over.”
Treanor and Alyssa Murray — who often find the back of the net — were more busy finding teammates and helped facilitate the collective effort. The duo combined for just three goals, but recorded six assists.
With just under four minutes to play in the first half, Treanor dished it to Taylor Poplawski, who placed it in the bottom-right corner of the net. Poplawski dropped her stick in place and slowly walked over to a crowd of teammates.
“Having people find success all over the field, between the midfield and the attack, it’s going to help us in the long run,” Murray said. “Someone that gives you a goal or two consis-tently.”
With 26:50 left in the second half and Syracuse up 12-2, the running clock went into effect. Gait stood on the sideline with his hands in his pockets as his offense all but sealed the win.
In the game’s final minutes, Gait subbed in many of his reserves. Players that had barely seen action all season long picked up right where the starters left off.
Devon Parker, Erica Bodt and Grace Dona-hue — who had combined for just six goals all season heading into the night — all connected in a 10-minute span.
“The offensive subs put the ball in the net,” Gait said. “We were happy. And I guess as they say practice pays off for those players, and they did a nice job. Hopefully they’ll continue to get some more experience down the road.”
In Gait’s postgame press conference, he said he was relieved to get through this game, but that a date with No. 8 Northwestern on Sunday
Balanced attack leads No. 3 SU to blowout win over Harvardwomen’s lacrosse
was already on his mind.His team knows that a balanced perfor-
mance like the one it displayed could pay huge dividends as SU’s schedule heats up.
“In the early games of the season you might not know who will have a breakout
game in the ACC or the playoffs,” Murray said. “You never know. So having them have those consistent games just builds more con-fidence, and more confidence for when it really counts.”

C.J. Fair waited in the tun-nel, stoic as ever. It was his final game in the Carrier
Dome and he was the last one to be honored.
At his side were two of his big-gest influences. His father Carl, his athletic influence, and his mother Trina, the source of C.J.’s laid-back demeanor. In the raf-ters hung Carmelo Anthony’s No. 15 — Baltimore’s finest son and one of C.J.’s deciding factors in coming to Syracuse.
It was a big night for him, even if he wasn’t going to show it.
“It was a dream come true,” Trina said. “He is so happy that he came back for his final year.”
•••Carl Fair just wanted his son to play a sport. Any sport.
Carl was a football player first and foremost — he played at both Central State (Ohio) Univer-sity and New Mexico State — with baseball as his second favorite. When C.J. was 9 years old, Carl pushed him to the latter.
He was a good baseball player
— as good as any 9-year-old play-ing for the first time could be — but his career didn’t last long.
“He told me it was too hot,” Carl said. “The summer he played it was so hot, it was like the hot-test summer ever. He was miser-able out there.”
It was clear, though, that he was an athlete, and that can help a kid in Baltimore stay out of trou-ble. C.J.’s group of friends consist-ed of Nick Faust, now a Maryland forward, and Will and Antonio Barton, currently playing for the Portland Trailblazers and Univer-sity of Tennessee, respectively.
“A lot of people look at basket-ball as a way to get out because you see a lot of players from Baltimore have a lot of success,” C.J. said. “You see anything’s possible.
“Basketball kept me out of doing bad activities.”
But for every success story in Baltimore, it seems, there’s a cau-tionary tale to match.
Carl’s one himself. He said he could have played football any-where he wanted, but cut class too often in high school and hung with the wrong crowd.
“That’s the main thing,” Carl

said. “I didn’t want C.J. to get caught up in the same destructive behaviors that I did.”
Baseball might not have been for him, but basketball sure was.
By the time C.J. turned 13, it was clear there was some sort of future there. He had good genes and he just kept growing and growing.
“Like a weed,” Carl said.That kept him out of trouble and
focused on school. He attended Bal-timore City College High
School partly for the basketball — head coach Mike Daniel coached Carmelo Anthony at Towson Cath-olic High School — but also because of its focus on academics.
And any time he fell out of line, basketball was there to reel him back in. He used it to stay out of trouble and follow Anthony, one of his idols, to Syracuse — where he’s now entering his final NCAA Tournament.
