The Massachusetts House Committee on Ways and Means revealed its $32.29 bil-lion budget proposal for the next fiscal year at the State House on Wednesday.

Committee Chairman Brian Dempsey said the budget proposal will not include the $160 million in new taxes in Massa-chusetts Gov. Deval Patrick’s proposition in January.

Instead, the Commonwealth will rely on the $522 million in one-time revenue solu-tions to partially fill the structural budget gap, according to the budget briefing dis-tributed at the press conference.

“By not adopting these proposals, we have reaffirmed our commitment to re-sponsible budgeting by keeping the oper-ating budget within our current means,” Dempsey said, “and do not shift the burden of balancing the budget onto the shoulder of Massachusetts taxpayers.”

The committee’s proposed budget is $14

million less than Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick’s proposal, according to the budget briefing.

The proposal requires no new taxes, fee increases and elimination of tax exemp-tions, but leaves a $790 million structural budget gap.

The committee proposed drawing $400 million from the stabilization fund to close part of this gap, a move Dempsey said will still leave more than $1 billion in the stabi-lization account.

“We will still be one of four states in the country that have stabilization in excess of $1 billion,” Dempsey said.

The proposal also called for a $164 mil-lion increase in local aid for elementary and secondary education, bringing a total of $4.15 billion in funds. About $1 million was set aside for more “line items for [Ad-vanced Placement] courses.”

The committee struck down Patrick’s

Although Rick Santorum suspended his presidential campaign on Tuesday, Boston University students and faculty said he was never likely to defeat Mitt Romney and clinch the Republican presidential nomination.

“We have carried the torch. High,” Santo-rum said in a statement from him and his wife on his website. “Together we have fought for the principles that this country was founded on. That made this country great. Without fighting for them, this country cannot continue to be great.”

As of Wednesday night, Santorum held 285 delegates, with Romney trumping this number more than two-fold, with 664 delegates, ac-cording to a New York Times tally using As-sociated Press numbers.

Romney also won primaries in Wisconsin, Maryland and the District of Columbia on April 3.

“It was only a matter of time [until] he dropped out,” said Douglas Kriner, a professor of political science at BU. “It was pretty clear that the delegate math was stacked against him, and his campaign doesn’t have enough money to compete with Romney and the big states that are coming up ahead.”

A number of BU students said Romney ap-peared to be in the lead.

“I always thought that Mitt Romney was the leading republican candidate,” said College of Arts and Sciences junior Alexa Beychok. “I never thought Santorum had a chance.”

While Romney has held the lead for most of the primary season, Santorum’s exit may solidify Romney’s chances of receiving the presidential bid, according to polls.

“Santorum dropping out of the race makes Romney the presumptive nominee,” said CAS sophomore James Blackmon. “Gingrich has been an even less viable candidate than Santo-rum for a long time.”

Santorum showed strwong primary num-bers in conservative states including Tennes-see, Alabama and Kansas, according to the tally.

“I think it’s clear Santorum had good solid base of support on conservative wing,” Kriner said. “But [he] simply did not have enough money to compete with Romney.”

Greg DeSocio, a School of Management senior, said Republicans as a whole breathed a sigh of relief with the suspension of Santo-rum’s campaign.

“Santorum gave the party and gave the campaign a bad name,” he said.

However, although Blackmon said he was happy to see Santorum bow out, he said he would miss certain aspects that Santorum brought to the political arena.

“As a fan of sane people in political of-fice, I’m glad that Santorum’s out of the race,”

Authorities recovered a body believed to be that of missing Boston College stu-dent Franco Garcia from the Chestnut Hill Reservoir on Wednesday morning, officials said.

“Based on clothing and certain items—as well as the general height, build, de-scription—all of it is consistent with Mr. Garcia,” said Jake Wark, spokesman for the Suffolk County District Attorney’s office.

He added that although “we believe the body we found this morning is very likely that of Mr. Garcia . . . a positive ID has not yet been made.”

After a passerby Wednesday morning saw an object in the water and called 911 at about 8 a.m., representatives from the Massachusetts State Police, Boston Police Department, Boston Fire Department, Bos-ton emergency medical services and other agencies arrived “to begin the work of doc-umenting the discovery and recovering the body from the water,” Warc said.

Medical examiners will conduct an au-topsy of the remains as part of a death in-vestigation into what had been a missing persons case, he said.

Garcia, a 21-year-old Newton resident, went missing late February, after spending a night with friends at a bar in Cleveland Circle, according to a BC press release.

Warc said Garcia was last spotted in that

area alone in the “early morning hours” of Feb. 22. Police conducted several investi-gations immediately thereafter and inter-mittently in March.

Those searches involved several dives into the reservoir, including a four-day res-ervoir search conducted by state police two weeks ago.

“It’s possible that [the original divers] missed the remains, and it’s possible that

any other dive team under any other cir-cumstances would have missed them as well,” Warc said.

The area the body was found in “was very murky and very dense with . . . aquatic vegetation,” he said.

Priests from BC traveled to the scene Wednesday morning to pray and meet with

Fourteen members of the Alpha Epsilon Pi fraternity, which is unaffiliated with Boston University, are scheduled to appear in Brighton District Court for a hearing following an al-leged hazing incident on Monday, officials said.

A court hearing was scheduled for May 7, said Boston Police Department spokeswoman Nicole Grant. Complaints were filed against 14 suspects for hazing, failure to report hazing and assault & battery.

When officers responded to a call for a loud party early Monday morning, they entered to find five BU students in their underwear, doused in condiments and beer, duct-taped to-gether in the basement, according to the police report.

The 14 suspects will have to proceed with the hearing in Brighton District Court as well as judicial affairs at Boston University, said BU spokesman Colin Riley.

Riley could not confirm that the 14 suspects were all BU students, but said most, if not all, attend the university.

If there is a violation of the Code of Student Responsibilities, the school will then decide on the sanctions.

“We are going to ask each one of the stu-dents to come to Judicial Affairs to determine if they are culpable and we will sanction them accordingly,” said Dean of Students Kenneth Elmore. “We will treat them as individuals.”

Each student will be dealt with on a case-by-case basis, Riley said.

“The courts have no relevance on what will happen to the students at school,” Riley said. “The two do not have anything to do with each other. We will decide what action, if any, to take once the students have had the opportunity to be heard by Judicial Affairs.” Three of the 14 suspects will face complaints of Keeper of a Disorderly House, according to the BPD blog.

The owners had already reported problems with the tenants vandalizing the building and are now seeking to have the tenants evicted af-ter this incident, according to the blog.

The five victims, confirmed as BU students, have been uncooperative with the police, Riley said.

The victims declined medical attention and rides back to campus after the incident, accord-ing to the police report.

Prospective international students who have not traveled to the United States need to prepare for a cultural adjustment when coming to study at Boston University, officials said.

“They have an enormous amount of information given to them, not just about the school and Boston area, but also acculturation to the U.S., bank-ing services, immigration and Amer-ican culture,” said Andrea Popa, as-sistant director for scholar services in the International Students & Scholars Office.

Students said they decided to at-tend college in Boston because they were interested in learning about other cultures.

“I decided to come to BU because it is in general really diverse, and I could meet many different kinds of people coming from manyw differ-ent countries,” said Chihoon Jeong, a School of Theology graduate student.

Despite the new experiences in-ternational students seek, there are many social and academic obstacles they have to overcome, Popa said.

“I think there are international students who don’t have a lot of knowledge of how different the aca-demic culture can be here,” she said.

Expectations to participate in class, attend class, adjust to the learn-ing curve and the exam-based culture may be different from what they are

accustomed to, she said. Jeong said he needed to take two

tests, the Testing of English as a For-eign Language and the Graduate Re-cord Examination to apply for school in America.

Some international students said they found many cultural differences while adjusting to Boston.

Jeong said there were many mis-understandings because he had trou-ble explaining himself in English.

“I’m from Korea and the culture here is very different,” Jeong said. “There are a lot of cultural differ-ences – sometimes greeting people, hanging out with people and also

dating people [is different].” The culture at BU is far from that

in Singapore, said Jeslin Tay, who was a one-semester exchange student in the fall.

“First, there is a very strong Terri-er spirit, with people coming together over niche sports,” she said. “At my school, I can’t even tell you what we do other than study.”

Students here are more involved in their classes and the faculty is very involved, Tay said. In Singapore, the education system is very hierarchi-cal.

Culture shock hits int’l students despite prepBy Jen Janiak

Daily Free Press Staff

The following reports were taken from the Boston Police Department for districts B-3 and D-4 from April 4 through April 10.

At about 1:26 a.m. on Tuesday, of-ficers saw a dirt bike without visible headlights, tail lights and brake lights drive through the intersection of Har-vard Street and Blue Hill Avenue in Dorchester. Police officers noticed the traffic violations on the bike and pulled over the suspect. Officers re-quested his license. The suspect was unable to show officers his proof of insurance and a valid certification for the dirt bike’s origin. Officers later found the suspect’s license was sus-pended and arrested the suspect for operating after suspension and gave him two citations.

Grazing bulletAt about 3 p.m. on Tuesday, officers received a call regarding shots fired near Talbot Avenue and Southern Avenue in Dorchester, where they spoke with a victim grazed by a bul-let. The victim said he was walking toward Washington Street when he heard the shots and felt pain. He was taken to Boston Medical Center for a non life-threatening injury. Wit-nesses told officers they observed four males arguing, and one pulling out a gun. Officers searched, but did not find the suspect.

Man downAfter responding to a call at about 10 p.m. on Friday, police officers encountered a male with multiple gunshot wounds on 18 Trotter St. in Roxbury. The victim’s condition was life-threatening and he was taken to Boston Medical Center. Security said the suspect was a male in black clothing. The suspect was seen riding a bike from the scene of the crime to-ward Ruggles Street. Officers even-tually found the suspect, took his gun and put him in custody. The suspect was charged with possession of a firearm, resisting arrest and assault and battery on a police officer.

A number of students at Boston University said they have felt un-easy around authority figures since the shooting of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin.

George Zimmerman, who was charged with murder in the second degree Wednesday night, shot Mar-tin, a black teenager who was wear-ing baggy pants and a hoodie and looked “suspicious” to Zimmerman, according to news sources.

Since the shooting, a number of BU students said they are careful to ward against racial profiling.

“When I am in a restaurant and the police come in, it does cause me to get a little nervous, which is silly,” said College of Fine Arts gradu-ate student Kendall Ramseur. “This Trayvon Martin case has caused me some anxiety when it comes to offi-cials.”

Martin was fatally shot outside of a gated community in Sanford, Fla., by a member of the community watch in late February. The gunman, Zimmerman, said he killed Martin in self-defense, even though Martin was unarmed. Zimmerman was not arrested at the time of the shooting.

Ramseur said he tries, as a black man, to represent himself and his race well.

“The media places so much of a negative emphasis on African Ameri-can males, and I try my best to re-verse that,” he said.

Ruha Benjamin, an assistant professor of sociology and African American studies at BU, said as a black mother of two young sons she felt compelled to speak with them about how they should act in public.

Although she has addressed racial prejudice in general, she has not told them that they could be the targets.

“The way that people may view [her sons] in this negative light is in no way related to [their] inherent no-bility or goodness and that it is really these people’s problem,” she said.

Members of BU community prepare to run Marathon

Boston University College of Arts and Sciences freshman Ian Paolo Mauricio said he is running the 2012 Boston Marathon to honor a loved one who died two years ago.

“She was a family friend who took care of me,” he said. “She was like a second mother to me.”

Mauricio is one of several mem-bers of the BU community running in this year’s 26.2-mile Boston Mar-athon.

Mauricio, who began running in August 2011, is raising money for the Dana Farber Cancer Institute.

College of General Studies fresh-man Tyler Shapiro and School of Ed-ucation Professor Amanda Sommer-feld are also running for charities.

Shapiro is raising money for the American Medical Association and Sommerfeld is raising money for the Action Center for Educational Ser-vices and Scholarships.

“It’s a great program,” Sommer-feld said. “It provides financial coun-seling and education for high school students around the Boston area so that they can have access to college.”

Sommerfeld ran in last year’s Boston Marathon and the 2005 Chi-cago Marathon.

Mauricio ran a half-marathon in November, but neither he nor Shap-iro has run a full marathon before.

“I really just started running, maybe a few months ago,” Shapiro said.

The most important aspect, Shap-iro said, was making sure she would

be prepared to complete two long-distance runs before Marathon Mon-day. She completed her longest runs about five weeks ago, clocking in at 16 miles and then 19 miles.

Sommerfield said she trained with a fellow group of participants sup-porting educational charities known as the Marathon Coalition.

“Every week starting in Decem-ber, we do our weekly long runs to-gether and we get tips,” she said.

Mauricio said he feels excited to run before the crowd on Monday.

“I’m also looking forward to my floor in Warren [Towers] cheering for me and the BU Filipino Student Association,” he said.

family members, according to the BC press release.

His parents, who stood on the shore with other families after the body had been pulled from the water, said they believed the body

was their son’s, according to the Boston Globe.

“The University extends our deepest condolences and most heartfelt sympathies to Luzmila and Jose Garcia and Franco’s friends and classmates who are grieving at this time,” said BC

spokesman Jack Dunn in a state-ment sent to The Daily Free Press.

“We offer our prayers to the extended Garcia family in Massa-chusetts and Peru and join them in mourning the apparent loss of this accomplished young man.”

proposal to consolidate funding for the state’s 15 community col-leges into one line item. The state would continue to allocate a set amount of resources to each com-munity college under its line item.

“As we look at the FY13 Ways and Means Committee proposal, a major difference between this budget and the governor’s rec-ommendation is our commitment to local communities,” Dempsey said.

The tentative budget suggests a significant reform for homeless families and a $10 million invest-

ment in the Massachusetts Rental Voucher Program, Dempsey said.

“This investment will cre-ate 923 vouchers specifically for families living in hotels and mo-tels to get those families in per-manent housing and onto a path of self-sufficiency,” he said.

The proposal also expands upon the law that prohibits the use of Electronic Benefit Trans-fer cards on alcohol, lottery tick-ets and tobacco to include a ban on other nonessential goods, Dempsey said.

The committee did not adopt the reorganization of probation and correction departments, an

area Patrick stressed in his State of the Commonwealth speech in January.

The tentative budget transfers about $700 to $800 million to the MBTA, which occurs each Ffiscal year, Dempsey said. The only ad-ditional provision includes an ef-fort to take advantage of potential federal reimbursement for The Ride.

“As the Massachusetts nation-al and global economy continue to recover from the recession, it is clear that while the common-wealth is recovering strongly, we are not yet back to pre-recession revenue levels,” Dempsey said.

Blackmon said. “But as an even big-ger fan of crazy stuff happening in the news, I’m sad to see him go.”

DeSocio said with Santorum gone, Romney no longer has to wor-ry about any other candidate usurp-ing him for the nomination.

“[The] general election can start right now, Romney doesn’t have to

do any more campaigning for him-self,” he said.

Kriner said Romney was in a period of rest where he could get geared up for the general election.

“Romney will lay low and re-position himself for [the] general election,” Kriner said. “[He] won’t worry about appealing to republican primary voters and [will] of course focus on the issues of concern to

general election voters.”In his statement, Santorum said

his daughter has pneumonia, but is a fighter like him.

“You have been with me every step of the way,” he said. “Every vol-unteer, donor, friend and family has given sacrificially of their time and their treasure. We are humbled and thankful.”

The long-awaited release of The Cabin in the Woods is finally over as the film hits theatres this week. The project, which had initially wrapped filming in 2009, was delayed indefinitely after MGM filed for bankruptcy; it eventually sold to Lionsgate, resulting in its release nearly three years later.

Fans of horror and Cabin producer Joss Whedon have braved a painful wait, a wait far more excruciating for the cast and crew themselves. MUSE sat down with cast mem-bers Kristen Connolly and Fran Kranz (who portray charac-ters Dana and Marty, respectively) to talk about the produc-tion– and the wait.

On the three years of anxiety, Connolly humorously remarked that “We’re all gon-na be like the Golden Girls walking on the red carpet [when the film releases].”

Kranz stated, “I didn’t lose faith, but you definitely sometimes feel like the crazy person talking about Cabin in the Woods.”

How was it auditioning for a reputable writer/producer? Kranz shed a little light on the subject by elaborating upon an on-set conversation with producer and co-writer Joss Whedon during the filming of Dollhouse, another of Whedon’s projects in which Kranz was involved.

“Joss pulled me aside one day and was like ‘Hey, you did a really awesome job with your reading. I want you to read with Drew,” quotes Kranz of Wheadon. “When I read the script, it was painful. I realized what a major opportunity I had. The idea of not getting the part was so painful and so scary.”

Kranz opened up on the horror genre itself. “I’m such a horror film fan. It’s ev-erything you could ask for in a fun crazy entertaining movie. It’s that and then some.

I was a mess. I couldn’t believe I might get this.”Before his directorial debut in Cabin, both Kranz and

Connolly had common ground in working with Drew God-dard, (Cloverfield, Lost) a common Whedon collaborator. “He [Goddard] loves these movies. Everything was impec-cably detailed. He gave us a lot of guidance, and let us play a lot within that. He would come and he’d go ‘Guys. This is so awesome. Let’s do another take just for fun,’” recalled Conolly.

“[Goddard’s] passion was contagious. You’d never know he was a first-time director,” Kranz added. “He has such an encyclopedic knowledge of horror. You were always con-

fident that he would get what he wanted. It was never a question of experience with him. [Drew] That was inspiring, to be around people that cared and to have a great proj-ect and a great script.”

Goddard’s emotional investment in the film was also a centerpiece of the discussion. Kranz elaborated on the last scene of the film, com-menting that, “Drew was just so in-volved with that last scene when we were filming it. It was a hard thing to move on to because it was one of the last days of shooting.”

What impact will Cabin have on the horror genre as a whole? “It was fun just to get into that mindset, you know? There’s kind of great history of horror films. It’s a great genre. It’s a part of film,” Kranz said. “Cabin, I think, is kind of a hor-ror film unlike any other. It kind of transcends the genre. I hope it sets a new standard for horror films.”

A British electronic duo with its roots in London, Nero has made a name for itself in the drum and bass dubstep industry. Daniel Stephens and Joseph Ray started Nero in 2004 and Alana Watson came on as a vocalist in 2008. By the time they met, they had been already experiment-ing with electronic music. At age 17, they turned Daniel’s bedroom into a workable studio. Since their debut dubstep single “This Way”, the duo has worked with DJs such as Chase & Status, Tiesto and Diplo. The debut album “Wel-come Reality” came out in the summer of 2011 which fea-tures songs that many are aware of such as “Innocence,” “Guilt” and “Me & You.” On their Second Reality Tour, the guys took some time to let us in on the secrets of their music. Alexandria Chong: What are you guys currently working on, music-wise?

Nero: We are currently in the middle of our U.K. leg of our Second Reality Tour amidst working on new ma-terial for our next album, so we are constantly play-ing about with new sounds as we are all together at the moment. So expect lots of exciting new stuff! AC: Any new collabs or releases?

N: We don’t really have any new collaborations as such - just work-ing on some new material all together ahead for the new album. AC: I know you guys have known each other since childhood and grew up together. How does that influence your music?

N: I think just that the fact that we know each other so well and have experienced things in life together, especially with our musical influences, has definitely had a positive effect on our music as we are both so on the same page.

AC: Where do you guys get your inspirations from?

N: We have quite a lot of different influences in our music as we both have quite vast tastes, so it all gets incorporat-ed and brought in. We’ve always enjoyed classical music so there are quite a few samples [of that] on the album. We also have some ‘80s influences - I mean we love the pro-duction on Prince’s albums so that’s quite influential for us, but we just pull from all of it to make our own thing. AC: When writing music, what comes first, lyrics or the beats? N: Our writing process completely varies from song to song. Sometimes we will lay down the beats then incor-porate the vocal into it, or sometimes we do it with lyrics and a vocal in mind. It completely depends at the time. AC: Who would you like to share the stage with next?

N: There are numerous artists we’d love to work with, but couldn’t see them actually happening! We would love to work with Prince, but to put a Nero style edge on it! Jus-tice is also an act we would massively love to work with. AC: How old were you when you realized you wanted to do this for a living?

N: It was when we were about 20 when we were out in Lon-don clubbing regularly and thought it would be fun to give production a go. Joe had been writing some beats and just thought, ‘Why don’t we form a duo?’ That was when we started making D&B [drum and bass] back in 2004. Then, it was just a gradual progression through our career to where we are now.

Nada Surf brought their signature alt-rock style to Paradise Rock Club on April 6.

PhOTO COURTESY / lIONSgATE

The Cabin in the Woods opens April 13.

With so many bands unable to perform well live nowa-days, Nada Surf outshone all of them playing with such im-mense ease and charm. The band has a genuine love for their fans, which was present when lead singer Matthew Caws at one point stated that he recognized faces in the crowd. It is this dedication that goes to show that it is no wonder that the Paradise was packed last Friday night. People of all ages came out to partake in the showcase of their creative talent. Promoting their new album, The Stars Are Indifferent To Astronomy, which came out in January 2012, the band played much more off of their new album instead of in-corporating older songs. It’s understandable that the set list would be more of the newer tracks, however, being an older Nada Surf fan, I think I can say I would have preferred if they played a lot more of their older tracks. An exceptional piece was “Blonde on Blonde,” one of the most beautiful live songs I have ever had the privilege of hearing. It sounded almost surreal, a fresh and reassuring sound that shows that after two decades, the band hasn’t exhausted their creativity but has only expanded upon it. The setting was also fairly intimate and served to en-hance the show. Everyone was able to vibe to the music on a personal level and there were minimal light distrac-tions. The colors merely shadowed the band, allowing for an ethereal performance. The band delivered nothing short of spectacular guitar riffs, bass and drum beats, offering us a strong voice to go along with powerful instrumentals. Playing a varied set, the band showed me why I fell in love with them in the first place. It was hard not to be enticed by Caws serenading every person in the room. They delivered an impressive show, wooing the audience, reminding us why they set a standard for the indie-rock world.

And the Trayvon Martin saga continues. George Zimmerman has been charged

with second-degree murder in the death of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin, according to a CNN article. Zimmerman surrendered himself to Florida authorities early Wednes-day evening and was promptly arrested. He was suspected of shooting Martin in a hate crime. Martin was en route to his father’s fiancée’s house in Sanford, Fla., on Feb. 26 when Zimmerman, a Hispanic neighborhood watch volunteer, grew suspicious of Martin’s behavior. Zimmerman called 911, inform-ing the dispatcher that a suspicious black male was walking around the neighborhood. A confrontation between Zimmerman and Martin followed, during which Zimmerman shot and killed Martin.When police arrived on the scene, Zimmerman said he had acted in self-defense. He was taken into custody by responding officers, but later released on the grounds that there was not enough evidence to disprove his claim.

Many people consider Zimmerman’s ar-rest long overdue. It is surprising that with the amount of protests held and commentary exchanged in favor of Martin that Zimmer-man’s arrest did not occur sooner. The lack of scrutiny toward Zimmerman during the arrest and the questions surrounding his mo-

tives make it clear that the incident should have been investigated much more promptly.

Another surprising aspect of this case is that it is referred to as the “Trayvon Martin case.” Traditionally, widely publicized cases such as this one are titled after the defendant’s name. Martin, however, is the deceased vic-tim. Calling it the “Trayvon Martin case” raises questions about race and why the me-dia do not refer to the “George Zimmerman case.” Another time a criminal case titled af-ter the victim was the Rodney King case in the early 1990s. It is especially interesting to note that similar to the Martin case, the King case dealt with issues surrounding race.

Looking forward, it will be interesting to see how Zimmerman sympathizers respond to his arrest. There has been a notable online presence arguing that Zimmerman should not face charges, questioning Martin’s private life in the process.With this in mind, it will be interesting to see how the race question and self-defense claim continue to pan out. One would like to think that in light of the Martin incident, authorities might respond more promptly to future incidents, particu-larly those with potential racist undertones. What we do know is Martin’s death sheds light on the fact that race remains a complex and possibly misunderstood issue.

“Mind the gap”

Winning London

SABA HAMEDY

The other day, an 8-year-old boy held open the door for me as I was leaving a restaurant.

There were no adults around him to tell him to do so. He did it as if it were basic instinct – a girl is leaving so I must hold open the door for her like a gentleman.

When I gushed “Awww, thank you,” the boy looked at me confused and went back to scootering around the parking lot.

My friend then said, “Wow, that boy was raised right.” In one action in a two-minute time frame, this 8-year-old reaf-firmed that chivalry, at least in England, is not dead.

This kid made my day. But that wasn’t the first time I’ve encountered people with good manners over the Pond. When people greet you, they say, “Hiyo,” and strang-ers addressing you will say “darling” or “love.”

There’s also “cheers,” which I have yet to master saying without sounding incred-ibly awkward and American. Even the recording of the woman on the Tube tells me every time I hop on and off the train to “mind the gap.”

Thank you lovely Tube recording, I will mind the gap.

The first time my co-worker asked me “You alright?” I just stared back at him re-ally bewildered. Do I look bad? Or sick? Or tired?

When I asked if I looked sick, he tried to hold back laughter (again being polite).

“What?” I asked.“ ‘You alright?’ is the way we ask ‘How

are you?’ here,” he replied.OH. Then the light bulb went off – I,

once again, realized that people are polite. Being polite is embedded in British cul-ture – you could be from the worst parts of England (or “dodgy” parts) and still know how to treat a person with the courtesy they deserve.

Before coming here, I thought it was more of a stereotype – like everyone, I wanted to believe in Jane Austen and the motto “Keep Calm and Carry On,” but I doubted the sincerity of the manners. After all, no man is like Mr. Darcy, and I don’t think anyone will call me “Ms. Hamedy” any time soon.

Even nightlife here is different. I ex-pected more of a Euroculture – I feared the skeezy men hitting on younger women. But here, offering to buy someone a drink is a friendly gesture – one that doesn’t

necessarily have the connotation everyone thinks it has.

On “The Only Way is Essex” (I’m sorry that this is my third reference to this show out of the 10 of my columns – I’m an ad-dict), even Mark, the biggest tool on the show, respects the many women he has slept with.

I apparently just don’t get it when peo-ple are polite. I’m so used to Angelinos and Bostonians – not that they are rude, but you know, they just do their own thing. They speed down Commonwealth Avenue or cut you off on the 405.

We all grow up with our parents teach-ing us how to be polite – say “please” and “thank you,” treat others with respect, and don’t hit other people on the playground.

But as we grew up, we became more ex-posed to media and pop culture. Suddenly, Brittany sang, “Oops I Did It Again,” and we all decided it was okay to show our bel-ly buttons, cursing became norm, friends became “frenemies” and fake was the way to go.

We threw out the values our parents worked so hard to instill because it was easier, more convenient, and of course, the classic excuse: “Everyone else was doing it.”

I even remember going out to lunch with a few friends in high school and say-ing “thank you” when one of them treated us. They kind of just stared at me like it was weird to say “thank you” (even though, clearly, it was a nice gesture). I then felt awkward and never really said “thank you” to them again.

It seems for British people, values stick. Sure, people here can be insincere too. I’m not saying every person who calls me “darling” really thinks I’m darling (I can be a rude American, sometimes).

But it doesn’t matter – in the end, being respectful is greater than being rude, even if the respect is only momentary. So next time you step off the T in Boston, don’t forget to mind the gap – and everyone else around you.

• COM students would tweet for free tickets.• SMG students wouldn’t stop at tickets. They’d buy out the team. • ENG students would not realize it was Opening Day because

they’d be too busy studying for their Physics exams. • CFA students wouldn’t look for tickets. They’d stand outside the

leave them at home. • The FreeP would drink and listen to the revelry from the office.

na Sheridan played all 60 minutes in the net, though junior goalkeeper Kim Elsworth did warm-up on the sidelines midway through the first half. Despite the 18 goals that rolled past her, Sheridan had nine saves.

“I was impressed with the saves she made,” Robertshaw said of Sheridan’s per-formance. “I think so many of the shots were point-blank. I mean, they were wide-open looks at cage . . . I think the defense didn’t really protect her as well as they could have.”

Sophomore attack Nell Burdis left the game with an injury after the first BC goal of the second half. She was carried off the field by two trainers, and Robertshaw did not know her status immediately after the game.

The Eagles had a trio of players with four goals. Senior midfielder Sam Taylor, fifth-year senior midfielder Kristin Igoe and junior attack Brooke Blue all scored a qua-druplet of goals.

Rix and freshman attack Covie Stanwick scored twice. Igoe and Blue led the team in assists with three each. Furthermore, Igoe led the Eagles with four ground balls controlled and won six draw controls on the night.

Freshman goalkeeper Emily Mata played the first 17:42 for BC, making three saves and allowing four goals. She was replaced by senior goalkeeper Catherine Conway, who survived a number of BU attacks in her 42:18 in cage, stopping eight shots and al-lowing five goals.

Robertshaw said her team needs to work on its general mentality in preparation for the next few games.

“From a team perspective, I need to see better fight,” she said. “I think it’s just in-consistent. I think we’ve gotten away with it these past couple games, coming back – which has been great, and I think they’ve earned it – but right now, I think you just saw the weakness in terms of our mental game.”

Sheridan records nine saves in blowout loss to Boston College

“We’re not going to get into a 9-8 with them,” Rychcik said. “So from that stand-point, anything we get out of them we’re go-ing to ultimately have to cash in.”

The result of the matchup against UMass should be a significant indicator as to how much progress BU has made up to this point in the season. The upcoming weekend will be one of the toughest for the Terriers thus far, as they take on the America East leading the University of Albany.

After having an extra day off due to the cancellation of Sunday’s game against the University of Maine, the Terriers have re-turned to practice. Rychcik said the things he targeted in practice should be beneficial for

both the game against UMass and the series against Albany.

“We just worked on a few different things that we might see in-game,” Rychcik said. “Albany and UMass – we’re kind of prepar-ing for both because, in a way, they have some similarities.”

Rychcik said the proximity of ability as well as location between BU and UMass has led to the development of a noteworthy ri-valry.

“They’re a good rival and one of the best teams in the Northeast year in and year out,” he said. “It’s a team that we like to have, and obviously with a win against them, we’d have a bunch of momentum going into the week-end.”

who was the first two-year captain on the men’s hockey team in more than 30 years, was honored with the Len Ceglarski Sports-manship Award along with the Hockey East Best Defensive Forward Award.

During his senior season, Connolly competed in 38 games, scoring nine goals and earning a career-high 31 assists.

Like Connolly, Heist played a vital role on her team this past year. Heist finished third on the women’s soccer team with 17 points, leading the team to not only its ninth America East Championship, but also to the second round of the NCAA Tourna-ment.

The Terriers, who have only made it that far in the tournament three times during their history, ultimately lost to Wake Forest University, 2-0, in that contest.

After the soccer season ended, Heist was named the America East Midfielder of the Year and placed on the America East All-Conference First Team for the second consecutive year.

Bustamante did not compete during the 2011 season after sustaining a leg injury during the spring. Prior to the season, he was named a CollegeSoccerNews.com Pre-season All-American. Bustamante also was named to the MAC Hermann Award Watch List.

Bustamante, who has 23 career assists, is one assist short of making the program’s top 10 list. During his junior season, Busta-mante was only the sixth player in BU his-tory to be placed on the First Team All-America East Squad three times.

During the ceremony, BU Athletics will induct former Terrier players Jessica Al-corta (field hockey), Troy Billings (cross country), Nick Bone (men’s soccer), Car-nell Henderson (football), Chrissy Lom-bard (lacrosse) and Christine Stief (cross country) during its 49th class.

BU will recognize six other individuals for supporting BU Athletics and for their accomplishments at the university.

The induction ceremony is expected take place on May 12 in the School of Man-agement.

has indeed given them the claim to a dynasty. So, here you are, trapped in your worst

nightmare. The next year of your sports life will be lived under BC occupation.

Three straight Beanpot wins to go along with those three championships – there isn’t much trash-talking ammunition for you to work with.

When you go to Conte Forum, you’ll hear something along the lines of, “Please wel-come your national champion Boston Col-lege Eagles!”

The blood spurting from your ears will be uncontrollable.

You’ll see that giant Eagle walking around. He’ll look exactly the same as al-ways, but now when you see him you’ll feel a grotesque smugness emanating from his gi-ant, feathery suit.

In fact, the entire student section will just rub you the wrong way.

“Look at them. Just look at them. They think they’re so cool,” you’ll say to a friend. “Yeah, and the music their band plays is so . . . so . . . dumb,” they’ll reply.

Then you’ll high-five each other.

The classic case of sports jealously – that bitterness will be tempting.

They’ve reached such a high point that your first instinct will be to try and tear them down by any means necessary.

Don’t be that guy. After BU’s 5-0 drubbing of BC in Novem-

ber, an enraged BC fan approached me and several of my friends, all of us adorned in our Terrier jerseys, as we exited Conte Forum.

“You guys lost to Harvard last year!” He shouted at us. I laughed in his face. I couldn’t help it. BU had just embarrassed the Eagles on their home ice, and he was yelling at us

about a game that might as well have been played in the Crustacean era for all I cared.

At the end of the day, is that really who you want to be? You’re better than that – I know you are.

Quite frankly, BC was unreal this season - 19 wins in a row en route to the title. Accept it. Take your lumps. Rub some dirt on it, kid.

As awful as these times are, they’re what will make those winning days feel so good. The thrill of victory is ultimately that much sweeter once you’ve scraped the bottom of the barrel.

MARASCO: Terrier fans in tough spot with BC National Championship

Only one pitcher in all of NCAA Division I softball has recorded more than 300 strikeouts over the course of the 2012 season. The Bos-ton University softball team is in line to face off against that pitcher tomorrow when it takes on the Uni-versity of Massachusetts.

Senior pitcher Sara Plourde of UMass has recorded 304 strikeouts in 28 appearances and 168 innings. Plourde has averaged 10.86 strike-outs per pitching appearance and about two (1.81) per inning. The second-highest strikeout total held

by an NCAA pitcher is 265.BU coach Shawn Rychcik’s ap-

proach to facing Plourde is simple – swing the bat.

“Swing the bats and swing at strikes,” Rychcik said. “She’s one of the better pitchers in the country, so we have to look for opportuni-ties -- hopefully a couple walks and base hits, and then to get the big hit. We’ll just look for something like that.”

BU (22-12, 4-2 America East) is familiar with UMass’s (19-11) ace. In the Terriers’ 2010 and 2011 seasons, the team saw Plourde and only Plourde in all four matchups

with the Massachusetts rivals. The Minutewomen’s starter hurled her way to a victory over BU every time and racked up a total of 46 strikeouts along the way.

BU’s pitching rotation has ac-crued a total of 179 strikeouts this season – a standard number that is dwarfed by the lone effort of Plourde. But UMass maintains a cumulative ERA of 2.93 when freshman Bridget Lemire’s number are factored in, whereas the three BU pitchers have established a 2.40 ERA.

When BU traveled to Amherst on May 27 last year, UMass nar-

rowly escaped with a win in the bottom of the seventh inning. Then-senior April Setterlund kept the Ter-riers in the game when she tied the score at two with a two-run home-run in the top of the seventh inning.

UMass mustered a few more hits in the bottom half of the inning and the Minutewomen ultimately came out with a 3-2 win.

This season, with the offensive capabilities of Setterlund no longer at BU’s disposal, the team will have to seek new ways to put runs on the board.

After winning seven straight games since mid-March, the Bos-ton University women’s lacrosse team finally met its match Wednes-day afternoon at Nickerson Field in a classic rivalry matchup with Boston College.

The Eagles dominated in the first frame to take a 14-6 lead. But the Terriers, whose second-half comebacks defined a number of games throughout the streak, failed to respond this time.

BC hung on for the 18-9 win, ending the team’s los-ing streak, while BU d r o p p e d a home

game and a non-conference game for the first time since March 10.

“I’m extremely disappointed in the way we played today,” said BU coach Liz Robertshaw. “I 100 per-cent credit Boston College. I think they came ready to go. I think they were aggressive. I think they took advantage of every mistake, and they made us make mistakes.”

BC jumped out to a four-goal lead in the first five and a half min-utes of the game. Freshman attack Mallory Collins finally broke the scoring drought for BU with a goal at 24:00, followed by another from junior attack Danielle Etrasco less than three minutes later.

After the two teams traded a goal, BC went on a 7-2 run to close out the half and, ultimately, the game.

Robertshaw said the Terriers failed to accomplish one of their goals heading into the match by letting BC score early and control

the game.“We talked about setting the

tempo and I don’t think we did that,” she said.

The second half was much more back-and-forth, but BC still con-trolled play. After BC midfielder Mikaela Rix scored the first goal of that half, the Terriers scored twice in an attempt to cut the lead.

But three more BC goals over a ten-minute stretch, after an equally long dry spell of scoring, finalized the Terrier loss.

One of the primary areas where BC dominated was draw controls. In the first half, BC won 14-of-20 and in the second half, they took 7-of-8. As a result, the Eagles con-trolled possession throughout both halves, forcing the Terriers to look to turnovers for possession.

“The control in today’s game is 100 percent a deal-breaker,” Rob-ertshaw said. “If you can control the draw, you’re going to control this game.”

BU also found itself down a player on a regular basis through-out the game. Four Terriers were sent off with yellow cards, com-pared to only one Eagle. BC scored on three of those four advantages, while BU fell short on its sole chance.

Collins, the most recent Amer-ica East Rookie of the Week, led the Terriers with three goals on six shots, all of which were on goal. Senior attack Molly Swain and se-nior midfielder Annie Stookesber-ry each scored twice to round out BU’s primary scorers. Ten players managed to pick up two ground balls for the Terriers.

Senior captain Chris Connolly of the men’s hockey team and

senior tri-captain Brittany Heist of the women’s soccer team will receive the Aldo “Buff” Donelli Memorial Leadership Award, which is given to a current male and female senior and student ath-lete who have shown exceptional leadership qualities on and off the field.

Men’s soccer’s Michael Busta-mante, who will return next sea-son for a fifth year after red shirt-ing during the 2011 season, will receive the Irv Heller Hall of Fame Scholarship.

Bustamante also earned the award in 2010. The award is named after Irving J. Heller, who

played for the BU football team and was a coach of the freshman team. Heller is a member of the BU Athletics Hall of Fame.

It felt surreal to see Johnny Gaudreau slice through Ferris State’s backline all by himself and score on the backhand to give Bos-ton College a 3-1 lead in Saturday night’s Frozen Four finale.

In that moment, one could feel one of the greatest horrors of sports fandom. The bitter rival – the sworn enemy – had reached the pinnacle.

At first, you were shocked – in denial about the whole thing.

“Hey, don’t give up on Ferris State just yet. Everyone knows that Ferris State is a third-period team,”

you told your friends as the game w i n d e d down.

Then Ste-ven Whitney scored the empty-nett-er, and you just couldn’t run from the truth any

longer. The shock turned into pain. You felt that horrible sensation

of sports guilt work its way around the white matter of your brain.

“What was I thinking?! I knew I should’ve changed into my other socks after the second period,” you thought as you reflected on all your horrible mistakes – ranging from your choice in dip to the chair you were sitting in.

Before long, your guilt became unfettered anger. “You’ll never play in the NHL, Whitney! Screw you.”

When you realized just how pa-thetic you had become – what BC had minimized you to – the depres-sion set in. The world felt empty and dark. You didn’t want to get out of bed the next day. Your phone was flooded with messages from friends about the defeat.

“How are you feeling about BC winning it all? You bummed?” said one friend. “No. I don’t even care. It’s nothing . . . I’m fine,” you said in reply – you’ve never been a very good liar.

You finally gave yourself a pep talk and got back out there.

“At least it’s over,” you thought. But when you walked outside and saw the paper on your doorstep – proclaiming BC as a collegiate hockey dynasty – you died a little inside and were right back at square one.

You ran back inside and turned on the TV, but there it was – that horrible word being thrown around again – dynasty.

The denial was back. “Dynasty? Nah ah. No they’re

not,” you said out loud to Barry Melrose – through the television.

But when applying powers of reason, BC’s three out of five run
