All-night comedy terry galloway, a deaf writer and comedian, gave an edgy solo performance in Watson Theater Monday night about her dark and humorous childhood. The performance, called Out All Night and Lost My Shoes, was sponsored by the Syracuse University Center on Human Policy, Law and Disability Services. Galloway released a memoir on June 1 titled Mean Little Deaf Queer.

All of the uncertainty Emily Kowal-czyk felt about her religious beliefs showed in her body language. She paused, looked away and sighed.

Im not really religious at all, she said.

Kowalczyk, a sophomore chem-istry major, stopped practicing or caring about religion when she went away to college, she said. Kowalczyk said she doubts she is alone in her religious apathy at Syracuse Uni-versity.

I dont really get a religious vibe from other people, Kowalczyk said. At least all the people I know arent really religious either, so I dont

think its as prominent.The number of students at SU that

say they do not have a religious pref-erence or do not declare a religion has steadily been increasing in the last several years, according to statistics from Hendricks Chapel. But religion professors, campus religious lead-ers and religious students said these numbers do not necessarily indicate a decreasing interest in religion.

In fall 2009, approximately 54 per-cent of SU students said they have no religious preference or did not list any religion, according to statistics collected by Hendricks Chapel when students enroll in the university. In 2002, however, only 41 percent of stu-dents said they have no religious pref-

erence or did not check any religion, according to Hendricks statistics.

National trends are also showing signs of religious apathy. Nineteen percent of Americans in 2009 said religion was not very important in their lives, according to a Gallup poll taken at the end of 2009. This represented an increase of 7 percent from 1992, when only 12 percent of Americans thought religion was not important in their lives, according to Gallup.

Another Gallup poll released Dec. 24 showed that 13 percent of adult Americans claimed no religious iden-tity. In 1998, only 6 percent of Ameri-cans asserted no religious identity, and in 2002, 10 percent of Americans

claimed no religious identity, accord-ing to the poll.

Gustav Niebuhr, director of SUs Religion & Society Program, said that while religion is fundamental in American society, more and more people are describing themselves as unaffiliated with a specific religion.

The United States is a nation where religion is valued, and accord-ing to the basic annual surveys, 95 percent of Americans consistently affirm a belief in God or a higher power, Niebuhr said. That doesnt mean people are wildly pious, but it does mean religion is valued.

Syracuse University will soon inte-grate an interdisciplinary study of stem cell research into the curricu-lum because of a recent state grant.

The university acquired this grant from the Empire State Stem Cell Board through a statewide grant proposal competition. The grant does not support actual stem cell lab research but rather an interdisciplin-ary course surrounding the topic of stem cell research.

The grant gives SU $324,000 dur-ing a two-year period to start a one-se-

Ernie Davis gym was nearly deserted last Tuesday at 1 p.m. Only about 10 students were working out on the brand-new exercise machines.

But Joseph Lore, director of Syra-cuse Universitys Recreation Ser-vices, said this sight is deceiving. The month-old Ernie Davis gym attracts nearly 600 people a day, Lore said. By comparison, the larger, older, better-known Archbold Gymnasium draws double that each day, he said.

With the addition of the new gym, Lore believes additional students on campus are exercising more often because the rest of the campus gyms have not seen a decrease in atten-dance since Ernie Davis opened.

In afghan battle, fighting in Marja starts to taperHeavy fighting in the Afghan battle in Marja causes Taliban numbers to drop by about half, The New York Times reported. About one quarter of the estimated 400 Taliban fighters in Marja have been killed since early Saturday when the Afghan-American operation began. Approximately the same number of Taliban, including most of the leaders, are reported to have fled the area. Local Afghans continue to offer help ferreting out Taliban fighters and hidden bombs, officers reported to The New York Times. Among the Taliban fighters still in Marja, the morale appears to be low, as holdouts are abandoned by their leaders and by local Afghans who refuse to offer them shelter. According to The New York Times, American and Afghan commanders hope to complete the combat phase of the operation within three to four days.

Missionaries cast doubt on new help for HaitiSkepticism arises among long-time missionaries in Haiti with regard to newcomers motives and methods, according to The New York Times. Issues arise mostly over groups length of time in operation to aid Haiti. Some veterans fault newcomer missionaries for often acting alone rather than joining more-established missionary groups. New arrivals defend their role, claiming to focus on necessities:

SU-LoUiSviLLe finaL thoUghtSBy Matt Ehalt Feb. 15, 2010 12:41a.m. This loss was due. Syracuse University hasnt been putting its foot down on its opponent throats (Marquette, Con-necticut) and it finally came back to bite them in the butt. They got up 11, and let Louisville right back in the game. Then, when the Orange went up 45-42, it let Louisville come back quickly. Had to put the pedal to the metal.

Scoop Jardine is the starter, despite the backup role. He played 26 minutes, has played more minutes in three of the last five games, and is playing better than Brandon Triche. The point guard combination has been outplayed by Kemba Walker and Edgar Sosa the last two games.

The masters of the 2-3 zone had no clue how to attack it. Louisville changed its looks constantly and SU had no clue how to attack the zone. You would think a zone team would know how to attack this defense, but they looked like most teams against their zone.

Wes Johnson is not healthy. He shot 5-for-20 and didnt have his normal drive to the basket. Hes shooting nearly half the percent he normally shoots in games, and hes clearly feeling the effects of the injury. His health will be a big storyline going forward.

Too many offensive rebounds given up by Syracuse. You cant let another team get nearly 20 rebounds at home when you have the size that Syracuse does. This is two games in a row this has happened, and if it happens against Georgetown, it will surely result in a loss.

Mookie Jones used his get-out-of-jail-free card Sunday and played three minutes. Not sure why he played in todays game out of all the recent games, but Boeheim needed him.

Rick and A.O. were good inside again, providing an inside presence that the Orange needed. Kris Joseph was good, but not great off the bench.

At first I thought the intentional foul was fine. After watching highlights, I was wrong. That was a bad call. While it ultimately did not affect the game, that was a bad call late in the game. Cant make that call. Kris Joseph had every reason to be mad.

SU Abroad introduces first summer programs in Africa, South America

This summer Syracuse University Abroad will offer eight new summer programs, including its first summer programs in Columbia and Argen-tina in South America and Ghana in Africa.

For students unsure of their sum-mer plans, traveling to a foreign country and earning credit for school remains an option until March 1.

SU Abroad offers 35 summer programs. The new programs this summer include the South America and Africa programs, three new pro-grams in London and two programs

that travel to multiple countries.During the past 10 years, about

2,000 students have participated in SU Abroad each year, and about 400 of those do so during the summer. The past two years have seen a slight rise in summer enrollment, and SU Abroad expects that trend to continue this year, said Suzanne Shane, pro-gram director for SU Abroad.

The summer programs are dif-ferent than the semester-long ones because they vary in length, type of facility and living conditions, Shane said.

None of the summer programs are full yet, but students are bet-

ter off applying sooner rather than later because each program differs in capacity and can fill up before the application deadline, said Tracy Zappola, interim assistant director of summer programs for SU Abroad.

The summer programs range from two to nine weeks and generally offer six credits, compared to the fall and spring programs, which offer a full semesters worth of 12 to 15 credits, Shane said.

Two of the new programs travel to several countries. Islam in Three Nations takes students to London, Spain and Morocco to study the lives and experiences of Muslims, while

A Mediterranean Odyssey brings students to Greece, Sicily and Rome to study ancient civilizations, according to the SU Abroad Web site.

A new program this year, Adver-tising Master Class, in London, is an example of an internship program, Shane said. Internship programs dif-fer from the norm because they offer fewer credits, usually ranging from two to three.

SU faculty members primar-ily teach summer abroad programs and travel abroad with the students. This differs from some full-semester programs in which professors from schools in the host country teach

classes as well. Regardless, all sum-mer abroad courses are taught in English, Zappola said.

Most of SUs summer abroad pro-grams are designed and developed by SU faculty members. They submit the programs to SU Abroad for approval each year, and if they meet all finan-cial, academic and viability criteria, they are made available to students, Zappola said.

Student Association President Jonathan Barnhart presented a five-week checkup on Student Associations progress this semester at Monday nights meeting. Barnhart addressed his initial campaign goals and achieve-ments thus far with regard to each objective. His campaign ambitions during the election season revolved around campus safety, increased

interactivity between different groups of students, fiscal responsibilities and education-related issues on campus. Although SA has made some progress during the last five weeks, Barnhart said he knows it can do better.

Im a little bit uncomfortable that the cabinet is larger than the assembly, he said. This ratio refers to the number of people with authoritative position in SA versus general members.

SA has not made a lot of progress with safety issues, he said. A few of Barnharts campaign goals are to improve lighting around North Cam-pus and South Campus and to estab-lish better collaborations between the Department of Public Safety and the Syracuse Police Department. SA will begin to find new places for lights and has had several meetings with DPS and SPD about improving safety and collaborations with Syra-

cuse University and the community, he said.

Barnhart said he is proud of the progress SA has made on student inclusion across campus. The Non-Traditional Student Commission already held the first of its six planned meetings for the semester on Feb. 4. Non-traditional students include com-muter students, part-time students, transfer students and more.

This years Senior Class Giving Cam-paign encourages students from the Class of 2010 to donate money to the school or program at Syracuse Uni-versity that means most to them.

The Class of 2009 reinstated the campaign last year, and a commit-tee of 11 students from the Class of 2010 decided to continue the tradition this year. The first official e-mail sur-rounding the campaign was sent out to seniors on Feb. 8. Students can donate with cash, check or pay online with a credit card.

Donations from the Class of 2009 went to a scholarship fund, but the Class of 2010 wanted to switch things up, said Carlye Eder, co-chair of the campaign and a senior supply chain management and accounting major. Each student has a different experi-ence at SU, and giving to the area they choose will be more meaningful and effective, she said.

I think it leaves more of an impact on the campus, and it also makes the giving experience more personal, said Mussadiq Akram, co-chair of the campaign, on why the committee wants students to donate to a program of their choice rather than with a cen-tral gift like a bench or fountain.

No official donation amount is requested, but members of the com-

to get the experience of living in Africa while receiving credit toward his major.

Its completely a culture-shock experience, he said.

Any student can apply for a summer abroad program, although preference is sometimes given to upperclassmen. The application can be found online, Zappola said.

Many students go abroad during the summer because while they are unable to leave their regular studies for a whole semester, they still want to have the abroad experience.

For a lot of majors, summer is their only opportunity to go abroad, Shane said.

New programs for summer 2011 will be announced this coming summer.

SU AbroAd SUmmer progrAm expAnSion Eight new abroad programs were intro-duced for this summer. This summer SU will offer the first sum-mer abroad programs in Latin American and Africa. Students in these new programs will go to places including Ghana, London, Argentina, Spain, Morocco, Greece and Italy.Most of the summer abroad programs are developed and taught by SU profes-sors.

SA is also working together with Students for a Sensible Drug and Alcohol Policy in order to develop a medical amnesty policy that will allow students to call for help in alcohol- and drug-related emergencies without worry about penalties.

As for fiscal responsibility, SA is currently exploring solutions to save student organi-zation money, Barnhart said. Barnhart has initiated talks with SA presidents at other campuses to find out how they are handling tuition issues.

Barnhart also said he wants to get more students involved in University Senate, so he is e-mailing professors to ask which students

would make suitable representatives. The stu-dent branch of USen is elected by Student Association, and Barnhart wants to see every seat filled by the end of the semester.

He is also working with the State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry to increase ESF student involve-ment in SU organizations, such as SA.

Barnharts goals for education on campus focus on the library, SU Showcase and Say Yes to Education. At the library open forum Friday, plans were discussed to create more space and add bookshelves to the first floor by moving the tables down to the basement for students. The Academic Affairs Committee within SA is involved with library issues as well.

SA is also working with the university on SU Showcase, Barnhart said.

Other business included:

Vincent Cobb and Nathalie Quezadas, alumni of SUs Class of 2008, presented infor-mation about the Say Yes to Education Leader-ship Summit to be held Feb. 20 from 1 to 4 p.m. in the Life Sciences Complex Atrium.

Orange Aid, Sigma Gamma Rho and Hil-lel Jewish Student Union all received money through special programming to hold events this semester. The Hindu Students Council requested money for two events and only received money for one. The Student Anti-Genocide Coalitions funding requests were not granted.

SA is giving out 150 tickets to students to view the soldout Villanova-Syracuse bas-ketball game on Feb. 27 in Goldstein Student Center on South Campus.

mittee said they are suggesting donations of $20.10.

Class Alliance, a division of Student Asso-ciation, took a survey last semester to see what type of gift students might like to see, said Abel Thomas, a senior bioengineering major. He said the results showed that some students felt they were already paying too much money to come to SU and did not feel they should have to pay more for a gift.

This showed the committee that simple par-ticipation in giving should be a main goal, he said. An official fundraising goal has not been set, Akram said, but 100 percent participation is the committees goal. Committee members are each expected to find 10 people to give and

at least three others who can get 10 more to give, he said.

The official number of donations given so far has not yet been tallied or recorded. But Eder said she has seen a positive response from classmates and friends. Students have come up to her saying they received the e-mail and plan on giving, she said.

Since last years senior class was the first to give back to the university in 14 years, Akram said he hopes continuing this year will build the tradition for the future. Other colleges and universities give senior gifts every year, and its something SU can be a part of, too, he said.

The campaign mainly relies on electronic media for outreach, such as a Web site and e-mail blast, but word of mouth is also impor-tant, said Melissa Cassidy, director of lead-ership annual giving and an adviser to the committee.

A lot of times youll listen to a friend when theyre explaining something to you that theyre passionate about, she said.

The committee began filming a promotional video on Monday that will be online within the next few weeks, Akram said.

Students can give anytime between now and senior celebration on May 13. The names of the students who donate will be published online and printed in a section of the register of gradu-ates.

Cassidy said she thinks letting students choose where they want their money to go is the best way to get them to participate.

Everybody has different passions and differ-ent things drive them when theyre on campus, so its great to give back to whats important to them, she said.

I used to hate the Winter Olympics. I didnt think there was anything exciting about a person who can cross-country ski and shoot a gun. What do they have to do with one another unless youre dropped into the middle of Siberia (or Syracuse for that matter)? To be honest, I know that the Olympics can be a bore. But if you think about it, the Olympics are the microcosm of the ideal world.

When the 21-year-old Georgian luger Nodar Kumaritashvili died, people kept talking about how saddened the Olympic community was by his death. Every country represented at the Olympics paid their respects to what they called their fallen comrade. Even the Russian delegation, which had a well-documented 9-day war in 2008 with Georgia, paid its respects.

Its a shame that its only during the Olympics that the scope of our confl icts remains limited to the fi eld of play. Announcers tell us few anec-dotal stories about participants and their amazing trips to the Olympics, even if they are from a country the

United States isnt so friendly with. The Olympics give us a great

opportunity to see beyond govern-ments, corruption and the ubiquitous struggles that plague our newspapers and televisions every day. When the Olympics take place there are no con-fl icts, as the U.N. signs a global treaty for peace during the games.

Instead of seeing all the wrongs, the Olympics show us the perpetual glimmer of hope that all can be right. Two countries that were at war with one another in 2008 can stand side by side and mourn the death of someone who can still be one of their own. When the Olympics take place, its OK to cheer for the Russian, Iranian, Iraqi, Columbian or Pakistani ath-lete, despite their countries not being

our friendliest allies. The greatest moment in American

Olympic history is arguably the Miracle on Ice, in which a team of U.S. amateurs beat the Soviet Union. This Soviet Union team had beaten the NHL All Stars that year, 6-0, a huge rout in hockey. While the Olympics can have political undertones, as the U.S. and Soviet Union were locked in the throes of the Cold War, they can also prove to be an arena where incredible things can happen. What makes the Olympics so special is that they know no partisan-ship, stubbornness or ineffi ciency.

To me, the Olympics represent all the good that the world can be. In the Olympics, petty confl ict is replaced with national pride. In the Olympics, joy can come in victory and in some cases defeat.

The Olympics embody pride pride in country, pride in self and a mutual respect for one another.

D uring the past few weeks it has been diffi cult to keep track of the Obama admin-istrations position on where the trial of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed is to take place. Mohammed is accused of being the chief strategist behind the attacks of Sept. 11. The administra-tion has gone back and forth between New York City and an unspecifi ed other location within the United States. Attorney General Eric Holder wants the trial to take place in New York City.

It is also undecided whether the trial will be a military tribunal instead of a civilian trial. A military tribunal has no jurors, just military offi cers, and is designed to prosecute enemies of the U.S. when at war. A tri-bunal has other various procedural differences that include more restric-tions on how the trial proceeds. In

general, it is more diffi cult to be tried in a civilian court because of the rules.

More conservative politicians have brought up several arguments against the civilian trial that Presi-dent Obama has, at times, advocated for. Jed Babbin of Human Events, an organization collecting signatures against Mohammed getting a civilian trial, believes that his trial would be a media circus if it were not a military tribunal. Babbin also argues that there are too many technicali-ties that could lead to Mohammeds acquittal. Conservatives have argued that trying Mohammed in a civilian trial would give him a stage that allows him to express his anti-Ameri-can rhetoric to the rest of the world.

If our justice system works, it should be able to convict Mohammed. The lack of faith in the U.S. justice

system when it is under pressure is remarkable. What is more frustrat-ing is the hypocrisy of many of the politicians who are against Obamas desire for a civilian trial. The same individuals did not object when the administration of George W. Bush prosecuted Richard Reid in a civilian trial. Reid was a British citizen who tried to explode gunpowder concealed in his shoe onboard an airplane on Dec. 22, 2001. Its diffi cult to rational-ize why there has been a change in thinking when the two situations are nearly identical.

A civilian trial is the correct measure. It demonstrates that our values in a free and open society have not been reshaped by the terrorists desire to harm the U.S. It becomes very risky when we selectively ignore our basic laws and principles of fairness in order to build a sense of security.

Those who believe that Moham-med should be tried in a military tribunal need to consider that this is how our society works. If our legal system has to adapt to the unique nature of the defendant, its not a just legal system. We need not have a separate trial system for those deemed to be enemies of the U.S. We just need one that is consistent, whether the defendant is a U.S. citi-zen or not. Many are infuriated that their tax dollars will end up paying the lawyers to defend Mohammed,

yet they forget that murderers and other violent criminals also share the same benefi t. Sometimes to keep evenhandedness, we must do things we do not want to.

Mohammeds trial will mainly be a symbolic one. It will demonstrate to the rest of the world that the U.S. has not given up on the justice it is supposed to stand for. Having the trial in New York City would add to the symbolism, proving that New York has recovered from the attacks that occurred more than eight years ago. However, it is not necessary. If it over-inconveniences the residents of New York City, their desires should be respected. Either way, justice must be served.

mester, three-credit undergraduate course, said John Russell, chair of the biology department.

Though the grant was awarded in November, SU will officially receive the funds this sum-mer.

Syracuse was one of five schools awarded this type of teaching grant. The other institutions include Binghamton University, Eugene Lang College in New York City, Columbia University - Morningside and the University of Rochester.

The course is expected to be available begin-ning spring 2011, but its housing department remains unknown. It will likely be cross-listed in a number of departments, Russell said. Addi-tionally, case studies from the course will be made available to other universities throughout the state, he said.

The course will include faculty from the departments of biology, law, religion, philoso-phy and biomedical engineering. It will include faculty from the Burton Blatt Institute at SU, which aims to advance participation by disabled peoples in society, and SUNY Upstate Medical University, Russell said.

The class will combine lectures and cases studies, Russell said. Students will work in small groups of three to five individuals on specific case studies. Lectures on the biological, religious, legal and cultural aspects of this topic will be administered as needed, he said.

While stem cell research remains a contro-versial topic nationally, especially by religious groups, the grant has faced little campus opposi-tion thus far.

I think thats what education is all about that we raise awareness, said Father Linus DeSantis from the universitys Alibrandi Catholic Center.

Student opinions are similarly supportive yet aware of possible opposition.

I think its great that were going to be able to learn about the topic of stem cell research it presents a ton of opportunities medically, said James Jiusto, a freshman nutrition major. At the same time, I can definitely see how this new type of curriculum could present an issue for some more conservatively minded students.

The grant comes from the Empire State Stem Cell Board, a 10-year New York State initiative to advance stem cell research.

The idea for this type of financial support of undergraduate stem cell studies came from Samuel Gorovitz, an SU philosophy professor and a current member of the Empire State Stem Cell Boards Ethics Committee.

He argued to the Stem Cell Board for the allocation of funds for undergraduate curricular programming. After nearly a year of persuasion, the board finally accepted his proposition, so he issued a request for proposals, Gorovitz said.

The proposals had to explain in detail each institutions plan for spending the funds, the nature of the course, the means by which infor-mation would be available to other regional institutions, an approximate timeline of execu-tion and the names of involved faculty.

There was little time in between the release of the request for proposals and the due date of the proposal, which was early summer 2009. This presented a challenge for many institutions, as the proposals required the creation of a univer-sity-wide coalition of faculty from a number of departments, Gorovitz said.

Its really groundbreaking, Gorovitz said. It was very competitive in the sense that not many schools or universities could get their act together to do something this imaginative.

GRANTf r o m p a g e 1

By Eunji KimStaff Writer

For Lydia Cacho, reporting the truth can be a costly experience. Cacho, a Mexican journalist, uncovered a child pornography and prostitu-tion ring run by powerful Mexican politicians and businessmen in 2003. Upon discovering

this, she decided to expose the secret to the public, with a goal of ending human rights abuses and expos-ing the guilty.

After uncovering the story, Cacho published her findings in a book, The Demons of Eden: The Power That Protects Child Pornography, which consequently caused her to be detained, driven in a car for 20 hours, threatened with rape, tortured and arrested for defamation. How-ever, the governments attempt to silence Cacho proved unsuccessful. Cacho, a Tully Center for Free Speech winner, calls upon her experience when speaking about the ongoing exploitation of human rights in Mexico.

Cacho will be telling her story today at 7:30 p.m. inside Hergenhan Auditorium in Newhouse III. It is open to the public, and the audience will have a chance to ask follow-up questions.

Barbara Fought, the director of Syracuse Universitys Tully Center for Free Speech, admires the kind of bravery and courage Cacho has.

I dont know if I would keep doing journal-ism if I was subjected to the same trial Cacho has been through, Fought said.

Each year, the Tully Center selects a recipient

from 12 nominees for the Tully Center Award, in praise for outstanding work in journalism despite any adversity he or she may have faced.

To Audrey Burin, the facilitator of the Tully Center, Cacho fits the bill perfectly. Cacho is an excellent example of why free speech is so important and what the Tully Center stands for, he said.

One of the judges and a researcher at the Tully Center, Alex Blute, said Cacho spoke from her heart. Lydia stuck out to me. Im very excited to have her here, Blute said.

Fought and Blute believe students will learn about one of the greatest rights Americans have.

It can be difficult to say what you want to say and print what you want to print, Burin said.

Respectful of Cachos determination for striv-ing for the truth, Burin said she admires the journalists fiery passion, resilience and, above all, personality. She seemed like such a sweet person when I talked to her over the phone, very easy-going and down to earth.

Blute agrees and said she was pleasantly surprised when she heard on the phone how humble and gracious Cacho is, despite being a journalist who receives an abundance of press and accolades.

Fought added that to ensure her security, Cacho always has to travel with bodyguards. As a result of her writing and reporting, her life is always on the line a price she has to pay for her coverage of human rights abuses in Mexico.

Listening to Cacho will help us better under-stand and appreciate what we take for granted, Burin said.

a variety of reasons, Niebuhr said. Some may decide it is time to take a break, others did not have religious families, while still others are simply too busy to practice, he said.

You come to college and theres a menu of things you can do and ways you can spend your time, and no ones going to question it, Niebuhr said. There are some who are apathetic, but I dont think thats specific to religion.

Even when students do claim a religious affili-ation, for some that does not necessarily mean they care about religion.

Brian Van Ee, a freshman in State Univer-sity of New York College of Environmental Sci-ence and Forestry, said he is Catholic but never practices. He said the only reason he considers himself Catholic is because he was baptized when he was born. Van Ee said he didnt know what his personal beliefs are.

Many students who declare a religion on SUs survey do so out of family tradition or to share information, not necessarily because they have an interest in practicing on campus, said Kelly Sprinkle, Hendricks interim dean.

But Sprinkle also said fewer students iden-tifying with a certain religion may not be

indicative of more religious apathy. Instead, they may experiment with multiple religions or decide to keep their religious preferences private, he said.

I think with college students in general, many would say they are very deeply spiritual people, Sprinkle said. How they express that is prob-ably the challenge. Sometimes this type of form doesnt get the fluidity of that.

When the Hendricks has a table at student activity fairs, Kelly said he sees a mix of inter-est in getting involved in campus religious life. Depending on what else is around the table, students either walk right by or show a great interest, he said.

Despite fewer students declaring a religion, some student religious organizations said they

have seen an increase in membership numbers.Adam Bernier, the president of the Cam-

pus Bible Fellowship, an Evangelical Christian group, said membership has increased from eight in 2006 to 18 in 2010. He attributed this to a high increase in interest from freshmen and sophomores, who constitute about half of the organization.

Friendship, more than a desire to practice religion, though, tends to draw people to the organization, Bernier said.

He said he sees mixed interest in religion throughout the campus, though people seem mostly uninterested in religion. When his orga-nization has a table in Schine Student Center, it is either ignored or approached by those who already have an interest, Bernier said.

I dont know if you can term that as apathy, Bernier said. The majority of campus probably really isnt interested that much. But I think the people who are active participants in religion are active in organizations as well.

One setting where religious interest has increased is academically, said James Watts, the chair of religion department in the College of Arts and Sciences. A little more than 35 people are cur-rently enrolled in the two majors the department offers, religion and religion and society, which represents about a one-third increase over the last five years, Watts said.

Majors tend to represent professional interest over personal belief, though, Watts said. The increased interest may be the result of more promotion of the classes, he said. It may also be because of an increase in interest in understand-ing different religions, especially Islam, in light of events with religious undertones such as Sept. 11, he said.

Im not too sure about trends, Watts said. The odd thing about the U.S. is that its been consistently a highly religious country from the beginnings to the present, and the complexion of that is changing, but the underlying religiosity of the population doesnt seem to very much.

Davis gym, said that within the first week the fitness centers opening, 3,000 people came to use the facility.

However, there may be a lack of campus awareness about the Ernie Davis gym. Koko Uko, a freshman civil engineering major, works at the gyms desk and said she has yet to see any student wait for a machine at the gym, which is a common problem at Archbold.

The school should hang up signs announc-ing the new gym at Archbold in the waiting room telling people where it is, Uko said. I think some people just dont know about it.

Marissa Eimer, a senior inclusive elemen-

tary and special education and sociology major, said she used to go to the Marshall Square Mall Fitness Center on a daily basis but is now excited to go to Ernie Davis gym because it is closer to her apartment.

When it opened, the Ernie Davis gym became the sixth fitness center on campus. Marion Hall, Brewster-Boland-Brockway, Marshall Square Mall, the Goldstein Student Center on South Campus and the Womens Building also have gyms.

When we opened up the Marshall Square Mall Fitness Center it was believed that it would reduce the number of people going to Archbold, and we found out it didnt but more people were working out, Lore said.

Eliza Decker, assistant director for facili-ties, wellness and aquatics, said she thinks the

Ernie Davis gym should eliminate some of the congestion at Archbold.

The students want to see newer and bright-er things in their surroundings, Decker said. Everything is brand new, state of the art. At Ernie Davis, the students are getting every-thing they want.

The Ernie Davis gym contains three high-end treadmills that are not available at Archbold. It also boasts several new row-ing machines, which provide an upper-body strength-training workout.

Stefanie Paroulek, a fifth-year architecture and economics major, mainly works at the Ernie Davis gym front desk but has worked at Archbold recently. Paroulek said there is still congestion at Archbold, and she doubts every-one on campus knows that Ernie Davis gym is

up and running.Its a little more low-key than Archbold,

Paroulek said. People should come here to test out the new equipment. Its really a great space.

Uko, who works with Paroulek at Ernie Davis, said her favorite part of the new gym facility is the way it is set up. She said it makes it easier to work out since everything is in a separate place and no one bumps into each other.

Chloe Mazzone, a freshman in the College of Arts and Sciences, has worked at the Marion gym since the beginning of the semester. She said very few people use the gym.

There arent free weights here, Mazzone said referring to the Marion gym. Thats the advantage of going to Ernie Davis and the other gyms.

We are all united for a common goal, Williams said. And the goal is to do well at regionals so that we qualify for nationals.

While the teams racers have the drive to do well in the competition this weekend, they remain focused. This year we are evenly matched with Cornell, Raymond said. It could be anyones race.

Slope synergy SU Ski Racing Club takes its shot at the regional championshipsBy Lauren Fabrizi

CoNTRiBUTiNg WRiTeR

W ith the current ski season quickly coming to an end, the Syracuse University Ski Racing Club is feeling the need for speed. Thursday, the team will test that speed at the Mid-Atlantic Regional championship.

The team, which is in the Empire Division of the United States Col-legiate Ski Association Mideast Conference, will compete against the top teams from both its division and the Adirondacks Division.

This years regionals will be held at Bristol Mountain in Canan-daigua, N.Y., which, the teams pres-ident, Spencer Raymond, a senior broadcast journalism and policy studies major, said should be an advantage for SU. Raymond said the team has a good history at Bristol Mountain. It competed there once during the regular season, sweep-ing the competition by defeating the 10 teams in its division, including Cornell University, Ithaca College, Alfred University and the Univer-sity of Rochester.

We did well there last time, so we know the hill, Raymond said. I think we are confident skiing

there.For the SU ski team, skiing is

more than a hobby, its a passion. Five of the varsity team members attended ski academies prior to coming to SU, said the teams sec-retary, Ian Schuman, a sophomore information and science technolo-gies major. All of the teams mem-bers show an extreme amount of dedication to the sport, which is key

to their continued dedication in the face of less than desirable winter conditions.

When night falls on the SU cam-pus, the members of the ski team come together and embrace the low temperatures as they hit the slopes throughout the season. Not letting the cold get in the way of a good time, both the varsity and junior varsity teams practice every Mon-day and Thursday from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. at Toggenburg Mountain in Fabius, N.Y., said Aaron Bellack, a freshman ski team member in the

College of Arts and Sciences.Stemming from the freezing

conditions comes a unique bond between members of the team, one which brings them closer together and extends beyond the ski trail. Everyone is very close, Bellack said. We practice together and travel together. Weve gotten to know each other both on and off the mountain.

Members of the varsity team put in extra practice sessions Friday afternoons to better prepare them-selves for their weekly regular-sea-son competitions, Raymond said.

The season started off a little rocky, said Dalton Williams, the teams vice president and a junior supply chain management and marketing management major. The team had a rough start by losing its first two races but came back strong and won the last three, including the Syracuse Invitational on Feb. 13 and Feb. 14.

The regional competition looks bright, despite coming off a mixed record that has lasted over several years. In 2007, the team achieved the best national championship club team finish, Raymond said. Although the team lost a few of its top females from the 2008-09 season, Raymond said the women are still performing well this year with the teams new blood. For the mens team, the season is all about redeem-ing itself. Last season the skill was there, but everyone crashed and we didnt qualify for nationals, Ray-mond said. This year its about get-ting back and proving to ourselves that we can do well in a big race.

Despite the teams dedication to tirelessly shredding the mountains, there are competitors who will be ready to test the teams efforts. As the regional championship nears, Raymond is looking ahead.

There will be really tough competition, he said. It will come down to who is on their game that day.

Schuman, the teams No. 1 skier, seems ready to take on the chal-lenge. Its nice to see competition from the other division conferences

W hiskey and milk, sandals and socks, out-of-town boyfriend and college: Sometimes lifes pleasures just shouldnt be mixed. Unfortunately, many crave Jim Beam and their calcium, others enjoy the freedom of sandals but want the warmth of socks and I love my boy but have a past here at Syracuse.

So whats the solution when the boy toy flies 3,000 miles to Syracuse for a long weekend? Do you mix Jim Beam and soy milk, throw on some Tevas with toe socks and have a good time? Whatever you do, here are some tips to make sure it doesnt get too awkward:Dont bring a new boy into an old boys territory

Bringing a new boyfriend to your old boys frat house, apart-ment, walking route to class or dining center of choice just isnt a smart move. New boy will start to ask questions. He will wonder why another boy and his friends are making obscene gestures at you. And what the hay will you say when your old boy comes up and high-fives the new one?Do tell old boy about new boy

If the old boy sees new boy without any prior warning, it might lead to some hostility. Pounding of the chest, awkward grunting, were-wolf transformations and dreamy vampires might occur if you fail to inform your new boy about the old one. The teens love a Twilight romance, but this isnt a story for People magazine. Dont bring your new boy with you in your dorm shower

First of all, unless he fit shower shoes into his carry-on luggage, bringing him into a whirlpool of wet pubes is a step away from abuse. Though it might be socially acceptable to shower with a dude in the wee hours of the night after a drink has been had, a sober morn-ing shower might not make the girl on the other side of the curtain feel comfortable.Do prohibit your friends from

By Alexander JamesSTAFF WRITER

J aheims fi fth album, appropriately titled Another Round, main-tains his successful formula of soulful crooning about street life, yet takes on a more serious and refi ned tone. His voice, deep in tone and smooth around the edges, creates sweet memories of recently deceased soul legend Teddy Pendergrass.

The album opens with Aint Leavin Without You, the funkiest, catchiest lead single produced in a long time. Jaheim recalls the style of dance-soul from the 1970s and straight smooth talks for three minutes. Lyrically, the song describes a standard club pickup routine, but the hook is beyond good. Jaheim then transitions right into the second single, Finding My Way Back, which is enjoyable but suffers from overdosed production at the end. Following suit is the hip-hop- and gospel-fl avored Whoa.

The fi rst three songs are very poppy and may not please all, but they are valuable displays of Jaheims astounding vocal range. Heres an artist who can bend his pipes to mimic R. Kelly one minute then fl ip for the next song and sound like Luther Vandross. Its amazing to hear Till it Hap-pens to You, which fi nds Jaheim tapping into the lowest parts of his bass voice with impressive control and power. Bed is Listening is a catchy joint, driven by a piano beat that sounds like something Dr. Dre would produce for Jay-Z. Jaheim utilizes harmonies and backup vocals very well here to complement a slower, almost rap-like delivery.

Jaheim again proves his savvy for blending classic soul and modern R&B styles together on Impossible. It is driven by Motown-infl uenced rhythms and a fat bass line, which Jaheim adorns with modern R&B harmonies. Another Round is a surprising misstep in the middle of the album, a club-destined single that sounds like something T.I. should be rapping. The vibe of the beat doesnt fi t well with Jaheims delivery, and the lyrical content is shallow.

However, he quickly rebounds and redeems himself with a smooth sec-ond half of the album. Her is a feel-good song that fi nds Jaheim poeticiz-ing about the girl of todays desires, with cool-jazz fl ute thrown in for good measure. II Pink Lines is anchored by a great bluesy guitar riff, and its the smoothest track on the album. Jaheim croons and describes his new role as a father and transitions into the mature-sounding Otha Half. Here, he once again hits with a deep bass voice on this slow jam.

Closer is light-hearted yet soulful and does well to transition to the requisite love ballad In My Hands. The remix of Aint Leavin Without You wraps up the album and features rapper Jadakiss. The two trade smooth verses over the great beat of the original version. Its catchy and fun to end the album with, but the gritty rap veteran sounds odd on such a poppy track.

With Another Round as his second album with Atlantic Records and sporting two platinum and gold albums to his name, Jaheim looks poised to continue his successful style as he grows older within his musical career.

stefanie campolo | staff photographerKayla alexander and the Syracuse womens basketball team have had trouble from the free-throw line in close contests this season. On the year, the Orange (18-7, 5-7 Big East) is shooting 67 percent, good for 11th place in the conference.

SUs struggles continue from free-throw line

By Andrew L. JohnASSt. SpOrtS EditOr

Quentin Hillsman struggles to find an expla-nation for six losses in nine games. When he glances at the numbers after each game, he routinely sees the same thing. Dominance in nearly every statistical category, except one: free-throw efficiency.

And after nearly every game, the Syracuse head coach addresses the situation, acknowledg-ing that SUs ineffectiveness from the free-throw line has been the obvious Achilles heel for a team that has aspirations of getting back to the NCAA Tournament after missing out in 2009.

Its getting tougher and tougher to explain these things, Hillsman said after Saturdays 66-62 loss to Cincinnati. We won every cat-egory and lose the game. I guess besides the one thing on the sheet, free-throw shooting. When youre winning in every category except for free-throw shooting thats the only thing we didnt win in its hard to explain.

Saturday was the latest occurrence of Syra-cuse becoming a victim of its own suspect free-throw shooting Saturday. A quick glance at the postgame box score provided the correlation between the Oranges recent struggles and how the team has performed at the charity stripe.

And against the Bearcats Saturday, it hap-pened again.

With her fists clenched and resting on her hips, Erica Morrow stepped to the line with a chance to send Cincinnati to the team bus in defeat. The Syracuse guard was one free throw away from turning Saturdays contest into a four-point, two-possession game with just 18 seconds remaining.

But Morrows first attempt on a one-and-one

rolled off the rim, breathing new life into the Bearcats. One possession later, Cincinnati sent the game into overtime with a buzzer-beating 3. Ultimately, Syracuse fell in another close loss.

Cincinnati had essentially ripped the game from SUs grasp. Same story, different day.

We definitely work on that in practice, and I work on that on my own, senior forward Vionca Murray said following a Jan. 30 loss to Notre Dame. Weve been losing our last couple games by two or three points, and then you look at how many free throws we missed. Well do those in practice.

In SUs first loss of the season, against Georgetown on Jan. 2, the Orange shot just 13-for-22 (59 percent) from the line in the second half and in overtime. It lost by two points. A few weeks later against No. 3 Notre Dame, the team shot just 8-for-14 (57 percent) in the second half before losing by one point. That inefficiency continued Saturday against the Bearcats, when the Orange shot just 5-for-9 in the second half and in overtime.

Im not happy with the percentage in the second half. Its an Achilles heel for us all, Hillsman said. We havent shot free throws

well, even when we shoot them every day in practice. What can you do but continue to shoot them? As a team its not bad, but when you look at the number at the end of the sheet, it looks somewhat distorted. I thought overall we didnt shoot terrible as individuals, but we didnt shoot well as a team.

One or two more free throws could have made the difference in any one of those three games.

But in recent wins against Pittsburgh, on Feb. 2, and Marquette, on Feb. 6, the Orange drilled a combined 37-for-50 (74 percent) of its free throws a vast improvement.

So for the Orange, the formula for success appears to be simple: make free throws, win the game.

Even though SU routinely wins the rebound-ing and field-goal percentage battles, its the teams struggles from the free-throw line that appear to be the missing link.

Senior forward Juanita Ward said that despite the number of times the team may prac-tice shooting free throws, SU needs to remain poised when it steps to the line in late-game situations.

We have to stay focused no matter where we are, no matter who were playing, Ward said. Its just a matter of focus and executing when given the opportunities.

As the regular season comes to an end with the Big East tournament approaching later this month, SU must improve at the free-throw line if it hopes to reach the NCAA Tournament.

With just four regular-season games remain-ing, SUs performance from the free-throw line will be under a microscope from here on out.

Hillsman acknowledges that. He pointed that out as recently as Saturday. He realizes the problem existed in games that SU could have, and perhaps should have, won this season.

We left off nine points off the board for not making free throws, and we didnt get to the line as much as we normally do, Hillsman said So you look at that. That was a big blow for us.

By Rachel SternSTAFF WRITER

When Ronald Moore took the court two years ago to play in his first NCAA Tournament game, he didnt feel the least bit nervous.

Though his Siena Saints were seeded 13th and facing fourth-seeded Vanderbilt, Moore was excited. There was no reason to be tense. He couldnt wait to play on the big stage and see just

how well his years playing against professional compe-tition had prepared him.

Being on that stage didnt rattle me much at all, said Moore, a senior

point guard. Playing against my cousin and brother and working out with them and other professional players every summer made me ready to compete at that level.

Moore grew up competing against a talented crop, so playing at the highest level for a college player wasnt really a big deal.

His brother Chuck plays professionally overseas. His cousin, John Salmons, plays for the NBAs Chicago Bulls. His uncle played professionally for the ABAs Ken-tucky Colonels.

A native of Conshohocken, Pa., Moore stands at just 6 feet and weighs about 160 pounds. By Division I basketball standards, hes anything but big. Despite eating his fair share, Moore said, he has had trouble gaining any additional weight.

Despite his stature, Moore leads the nation in assists per game, averaging 7.7 per contest. He is 11th in the nation with a 2.77 assist-to-turnover ratio and has helped Siena reach national prom-inence during his collegiate career.

After beating Vanderbilt in the first round two years ago, the Saints fell to Villanova in the second round. The next year they returned to the NCAA Tournament and beat Ohio State in a thrilling double-overtime game in the first round. Moore hit the 3-pointer that forced the second overtime period. He then sank the game-winning 3 with 3.9 seconds remaining in the second overtime.

Though he has faced bigger guards nearly

night out during his time at Siena, Moore believes its his years of battling against his brother and cousin that have made him so successful.

I am very close with my cousin and brother, and growing up we played against each other all the time, Moore said. They never let me win, but with their talents and competitive edge, that made me not be afraid to play against anyone I go up against.

And the tough competition is something Moore has never shied away from.

Each summer he works out with Salmons in Philadelphia. They play pick-up and work out with numerous professional players. Not only has Moore benefited from facing pressure defense all summer, but he has put on nearly 20 pounds since stepping foot on Sienas campus four years ago.

It is just a huge advantage having my cousin be in the NBA because he brings me along and lets me compete with all the guys he works out with, Moore said.

Thanks to his cousin, Moore has competed against guys such as the Houston Rockets Kyle Lowry, former Virginia star Sean Singletary and retired pro Cuttino Mobley.

Moore credits these players with making him the player he is today. Facing bigger, stronger guys every summer improved his ball-handling skills. It also made him comfortable with run-ning a team under the distress of high-pressure defenders.

All the pros I play against are much bigger guys, but that has helped me the most, Moore said. It is the reason I have that assist-to-turn-over ratio and the reason I can break pressure defense pretty well.

It is that exact ability that has earned

Moore high praise.After beating Ohio State in last years NCAA

Tournament, the Saints faced Rick Pitinos Lou-isville Cardinals, who are known for their high-intensity full-court defense. And even though Siena could not pull off the upset, Pitino was very impressed with Moore.

I talked to Pitino after the game, and he com-plimented me and said I am a great player and will be successful, said Moore, who dished out 10 assists against the Cardinals. That meant a lot to me and definitely motivated me to keep working hard.

Though the Saints just lost to Metro Atlantic Athletic conference rival Niagara on Feb. 12, they are 22-5. Moore has tallied double-digit assists eight times this season and hopes his career does not come to an end any time soon.

I just love the game of basketball, Moore said. I want to pursue it as long as possible and hopefully play basketball anywhere. Maybe in the states or overseas. My love for the game is really high. No. 4 Purdue at No. 9 ohio StateWednesday, 6:30 pm

in the Hall of Fame.But for Little, the call never came.Lets be objective: I played on teams

that werent great with quarterbacks with no consistency, Little said. I ran behind 60 offensive linemen. None played in a Pro Bowl (sic). None are Hall of Famers. It seems clear to me that in light of that, I am a guy who must have something worth taking a look at.

Theres no good answers for the voters. Because I played on losing teams out in Denver, where the media wasnt as strong as it would be on the coasts, I never had the sup-port of the voters.

This all begs the question: Why, after all this time, has Little returned to the forefront? What changed? After all, Little hasnt gained another yard or scored another touchdown since 1975.

He does not know for sure. But looking back now, he looks to Syracuse and thinks he sees at least part of the answer.

Little came to SU in 1964, after Jim Brown and Ernie Davis wore No. 44, and swept the nation by storm. In three dominating All-American seasons, he rushed for 2,704 yards and 35 touchdowns. He still holds the program record for career touchdowns (46) and punt return touchdowns (six).

Even if the country forgot about Little, Syracuse never did.

John Mackey, another Hall of Famer, once famously said he would relinquish his spot in Canton to let Little in. Larry Csonka, another great SU running back, said repeatedly that he reached the Hall partially because he played for great Miami Dolphins squads, while Little put up his numbers all alone.

Little said that current SU Director of Athletics Daryl Gross even wrote letters to the Hall of Fame on his behalf.

Little also credits The Express, the Davis biopic released last year, as arguably the greatest factor that pushed him over the edge.

The film put Syracuse football in the national spotlight, and Little believes it inspired Hall voters to give him another chance.

So many saw the movie and said how emotional it was for them, how it showed them the legacy of Syracuse, Little said. A lot of voters saw the movie and thought to look at my statistics again. They saw that movie, saw the Syracuse football program on display and thought, Hey, maybe we missed something.

When Little learned of his election, he collapsed to the ground in happiness. He waited for that moment for more than three decades.

The next day, Little stood with the rest of the 2010 class on the field at Sun Life Stadium in Miami to be honored prior to the Super Bowl. The CBS telecast scanned the line. Nobody had a bigger smile on his face than Little.

Even then, in that moment of revelry, Little made sure to think about Syracuse. Without the help of Syracuse, the moment may never have come.

The key is the people of Syracuse have never forgotten about me, Little said. Even with all those great running backs who came before me, they still found a way to remember me, and that has always meant so much to me.

weight-loss video, Kalhorn explained. But when (the fitness models) have their water breaks, we do suicides.

The team enjoyed it, players said. After a routine of 5 miles, 500 push-ups and 100 sit-ups every day, Jensen understood what his players could take. For the past two seasons, it was this level of fitness that prevented any major injuries, Jensen said.

It proved worthwhile. During the first game of the season, Jensen

sat alone near Court 5 of Drumlins Tennis Club. He was still the same. Still the winner of the 1993 French Open doubles championship, still adamant on saving prospects of American tennis. But something seemed missing. As he watched sophomore Alessondra Parra play, he looked down at the court and rubbed his hands.

Then, he rubbed his balding head.Parra cruised through her first set and

found herself at a 0-3 deficit. Laine Mackey of Albany was formidable. Her weight stunted her movement, but it gave her serve and fore-hand momentum to work with. And by the second set it had worn Parra down.

Coach told me I was fitter than my oppo-nent, Parra said. He said it was OK to swing out and to pick up the pace.

Jensens first recruits all had losing records as freshman. Parra had finished her fresh-man year 11-8. Emily Harman, the sophomore standout from West Virginia, earned herself the top singles spot last year. The difference was that those first recruits were there, Jensen said. Callowness turned to confidence. But he

did not credit himself. Why would he?As Parra rallied back 4-5, it was Jensen who

sat by her side. Shouting encouragement. Still rubbing his head. He encouraged his players to serve with both hands, like himself. Like Dual-Hand Luke.

Jensen misses playing, he said, he misses the court. But he found another game in the strategy of coaching.

I know more now than I did four years ago, Jensen said. Im learning every day.

The difficulties lie ahead, as the team that garnered a winning record last season still lost four straight games on the road.

We always make mistakes. This years going to be more mental, Harman said. But I know how to handle the big moments.

Syracuse was swept 0-7 by No. 16 Michigan on the teams first road trip this season. Jensen said his team had learned, and that it was still learning. It was only a bump, on the path to a national title. And it could only confirm what he now knows.

We know now, Jensen said, that we are a better team than we were in 2006.

There is a nationally ranked team in Michi-gan on Jensens schedule to test his team. But the coach knows his team is older and mature and experienced because he has waited.

Winning is a matter of executing, Jensen explained, of players placing their fitness and skills into harmony. I just need the players to do what they do in practice, the big confidence to translate into our matches.

But a national title will still take time. Were right on track, Jensen said. If I

could lose more hair and win 20 games this season, that would be great.

Finally in Hall of Fame, Little sees day he thought might never come

court hathaway | staff photographerLuke Jensen enters his fourth season as head coach of the Syracuse womens tennis team. Jensen directed the Orange to a 9-2 finish in the Big East and a 16-7 mark overall in 2009.

gracefullyIn 4th year as coach, Jensen finds himself maturing with Syracuse

F loyd Little remembers a time when the words future Hall of Famer almost always prefaced his name. He chuckled as he relayed that story, but his voice retained a hint of edginess. The memories from three decades of bit-terness and disappointment do not die so quickly.

Though once considered a vir-tual lock for Canton, Oh
