With the 2014 Boston Marathon approach-ing, the Boston Public Health Commission will be offering free counseling services to those who may be struggling with residual emotions provoked by the anniversary of the 2013 Boston Marathon bombings.

The counseling sessions, which will be operated by trained mental health clinicians, are available at the Boston Public Library on Tuesday, the anniversary of the mara-thon bombings, and at Our Lady of Victories Church in Copley Square on April 22. Addi-tionally, counseling will be available over the phone via the Mayor’s Health Line.

“As the anniversary approaches and as the 2014 Marathon approaches, we know that it will stir a lot of emotions from those that were actually injured or survived the bombings, but also for residents in the city in general,” said Nick Martin, BPHC commu-nications director. “We want to be able to be supportive of people from each group.”

The BPHC provided more than 600 hours of counseling to thousands of people in the days after the bombings last April, and though it does not anticipate the same de-mand this year, there is still a need to offer services, Martin said.

“If you’re one of the survivors, a year can feel like a drop in the bucket,” he said. “There were some really serious physical injuries that people are still having surgeries and still healing physically from. So it can take a while for the emotional and mental health healing process to happen.”

The BPHC is also offering community workshops for emergency preparedness, where people can learn about what items they should keep on hand in the event of natural or manmade disasters, Martin said.

“[The workshops are] more focused on general community resiliency in the face of trauma,” he said. “Some communities in Bos-ton are affected by trauma on a daily basis

Lu family establishes scholarship in memory of Lingzi

The family of Lu Lingzi, the Boston Uni-versity student who was killed in the 2013 Boston Marathon bombings, launched a foun-dation in her honor that will offer scholarships to students who exhibit traits and possess goals similar to Lingzi.

Separate from the Lu Lingzi Scholarship, which was initiated by BU, communications firm Solomon McCown & Company worked with the Lu family to establish the Lingzi Foundation.

“Following the terrible tragedy that hap-pened during the marathon and the ensuing emotions from that, we got to know their family through our interactions, working with them following Lingzi’s death,” said Daniel Solworth, chief of staff to BU’s dean of stu-dents. “They very much want to continue that relationship with the university in honoring her memory and honoring the contributions she made here.”

Solworth said unlike BU’s Lu Lingzi Scholarship Fund, the Lingzi Foundation is open to students outside of Boston University.

“The foundation was formed by the fam-ily to be able to help people with their educa-tional pursuits but not necessarily have to be a Boston University student,” Solworth said. “It can be anyone that the foundation, which is run by the family, selects to keep the memory of Lingzi alive through selecting a student who they believe has the same ideals and pur-

suits and ambitions Lingzi had.” As the 2014 Boston Marathon approaches,

the BU community is remembering how last year’s tragedy affected the school, Solworth said.

“This is a major event for the city, a ma-jor event for the university, a major event for the whole country really,” he said. “Because of the emotions involved, because of how

deeply it affected all of us, people want to be involved … People desire to be involved in keeping this memory alive and celebrating the great person that Lingzi was.”

In honor of the newly launched founda-tion, jewelry retailer Alex and Ani held a fundraiser Thursday. Sixteen percent of sales

Free public Wi-Fi is now available at 12 locations in Boston after the Department of In-novation and Technology officially launched a program called the “Wicked Free WiFi: Bos-ton’s Public Wireless Network.”

The Wednesday launch was a result of Boston Mayor Martin Walsh’s partnership with DoIT, which enabled a wireless Internet service that will be available through 170 ac-cess points around Boston. Public Wi-Fi has been rolled out in several of Boston’s parks, schools and downtown locations, according to a Wednesday press release .

“Closing the digital divide and providing free public Wi-Fi in our neighborhoods is es-sential,” Walsh said in the release. “We want every Bostonian to have the same opportu-nities in today’s digital world. Wi-Fi access plays a significant role in every aspect of our lives from learning to earning. Our goal is to

strengthen and expand our public network, and reach more families and businesses.”

The largest concentration of access points can be found in Grove Hall, where approxi-mately 9,800 residents utilize the system daily. Other Wicked Free Wi-Fi locations include parts of Allston, Boston Common and Faneuil Hall, the release stated.

Rhonda Siciliano, public affairs officer for the Department of Housing and Urban Devel-opment New England Region, said the depart-ment wanted to participate in a program to extend access to Wi-Fi for under-served popu-lations in the city.

“There’s so much that we can learn from having access to the Internet,” she said. “It opens up a whole world of opportunity for students, and having that same opportunity … hopefully will help them get better grades, do better in school and it opens up a whole world to them.”

Siciliano said HUD awarded the City of

Boston a $1.5 billion Choice Neighborhood Implementation Grant, and the city’s leaders decided to use $300,000 to install free Wi-Fi as part of the critical community improvement project.

In the coming months, the City of Boston will be focusing on strengthening and expand-ing the Wicked Free Wi-Fi network, with plans to connect Boston’s 20 neighborhood Main Street programs through an estimated 130 ac-cess points, the press release stated.

“Boston’s approach is to provide affordable Wi-Fi to improve the lives of residents and in-crease the success of local business,” said Jus-tin Holmes, interim chief information officer, in the press release. “We will continue to work towards connecting all of Boston.”

Several residents said the free Wi-Fi system would bridge the information gap between the city’s neighborhoods.

Professor of music and highly acclaimed cellist Marc Johnson of the Boston University School of Music in the College of Fine Arts passed away from a heart attack Tuesday at his home in Maine.

Johnson, 67, who was a member of several renowned orchestras and ensembles including the three-time Grammy-nominated Vermeer Quartet, had an enormous impact on students and faculty at BU and the performing arts com-munity as a whole.

“He was a dream of a colleague, an ideal sort of colleague. We’re all saddened, but he had such a positive spirit,” said School of Mu-sic string department chair Michelle LaCourse. “Those of us who have the good fortune to have spent time with him know that we’re better musicians and better people for having known him. We colleagues and his students will try to pass that on when we can.”

After becoming the youngest member of the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra at 18, Johnson went on to perform with the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra and the Vermeer Quartet for 35 years before joining the School of Music as an adjunct professor in 2007.

“One sensed more the communication and the beauty of what he was playing and didn’t notice the difficulty or the challenges of the pieces,” LaCourse said. “There’s always hard work that we all have to do to prepare and per-form a piece, but his concerts tended to tran-scend that. You could really hear and feel his joy in making music.”

School of Music Interim Director Richard Cornell said the Vermeer Quartet was at the top of their field when they disbanded in 2007.

“Part of what we’re feeling right now is it was just definitely too soon,” Cornell said. “In music, for string players, they generally have very long and illustrious careers and they have a lot to give. To lose someone at this age is like losing somebody who is in the apex of their ca-reer. This is someone with a deep knowledge because of all the experience he had, and also a masterful way of transmitting that knowledge.”

At BU, Johnson taught many cello students, coached chamber groups, performed as soloist with the BU Symphony Orchestra and evaluat-ed and advised countless students, Cornell said.

“He was just such a great guy because he

I honestly believe that a certifi cate from Boston University holds great weight, because the standards are much higher. The attorneys who taught our classes were extremely knowledgeable about their specifi c areas of law. I made some connections among the faculty, broadened my understanding of law, and gained a better footing in my fi eld.”

were donated to the foundation, said Amanda Frederick, assistant manager of Alex and Ani’s Boston location.

The Lingzi family approached Alex and Ani for the charity event, Frederick said.

“The more exposure the founda-tion gets, the more help they will be able to get with raising funds for it,” she said.

Frederick said Alex and Ani hopes to host another fundraising event for the Lingzi Foundation and intentionally timed this fundraiser to fall before the 2014 Boston Mara-thon.

“We fi gured it would be better before as opposed to after because there are a lot of people coming to town, and we want to do it in honor of her before the anniversary,” Fred-erick said. “It’s a great foundation to honor someone who was a victim of something so awful, and the foun-dation keeps her memory alive and helps other students with education-al opportunities.”

Students said the Lingzi Foun-dation serves an important role in

remembering Lingzi and offered suggestions to raise awareness of her passing.

“It’s an honorable thing for them to do,” said Lauren Burke, a Col-lege of Communication sophomore. “They were unable to fulfi ll her dreams, so in order to fulfi ll others [the Lu family established the new foundation]. It’s recognizable.”

Justin Sun, a School of Manage-ment freshman, said he supported the foundation but would like to in-crease its visibility.

“Helping others is always a great thing,” he said. “The best way [to raise awareness] is to have a table at the [George Sherman Union]. I am always hanging around here, so see-ing a poster, a fl yer or even a TV ad may help.”

Debra Marcus, a College of Arts and Sciences sophomore, said she admired the foundation’s role in recognizing and honoring ambition, curiosity and intelligence.

“Those are traits that gener-ally want to be promoted in college kids,” she said. “College is about learning and growing, and if this is what this foundation is for, then that sounds good to me.”

would always fi nd the positive,” Cornell said. “His teaching style wasn’t hypercritical, it was hyper-supportive. He decided that the best progress could sometimes be made by reinforcing what people were doing right and making corrections fairly gently.”

Johnson is survived by his daughters Kirsten and Nicole, both professional musicians, his mother Ruth and his younger brother Chris. Though the family is not planning a funeral, there will be a memorial service in Johnson’s honor, and they are encouraging individuals to con-tribute to a scholarship they will be establishing at BU in his name, they said.

“We’re absolutely delighted that they’ve made this decision [to estab-lish the scholarship],” Cornell said. “The art of music depends on so many things, and one of the things is the way it’s transmitted from one

generation to the next. For Kirsten and Nicole, they’re carrying on his legacy through their professional lives. I think this is so important to them, that that legacy from their father continues to be part of music education, the education of a new generation.”

Cornell said BU is planning to hold a memorial event in the fall, which will include performances by faculty, colleagues and students in Johnson’s memory.

“It’s shocking and sad and a great loss, and they all need to go through the grieving process, but everyone knows that our next job is to pass on ways that we’ve benefi tted from his presence,” LaCourse said. “His cello students are fi guring out that no mat-ter how long it takes to process their grief, they’re going to pick up their cellos when it feels right and practice and honor the teaching that they’ve had from him.”

Rachel Sullivan, 26, of Beacon Hill, said she uses her smartphone most of the time, but having access to free Wi-Fi throughout the city will make retrieving information easier.

“A lot of people will be able to access what they need to,” she said. “Wi-Fi, in a way, is kind of a luxury, so for Boston to provide it ... that’s fantastic to have that kind of luxury

and to be able to access it every-where, as long as it’s good quality.”

Meg Crawford, 24, of Brighton, said the Wi-Fi plan will only be ben-efi cial for residents who currently own devices that can access the In-ternet.

“People will be able to fi nd things out and do things, [but] you have to have something to use the Internet, like an iPhone,” she said.

Neil Andrews, 25, of Kenmore,

said the Internet affects nearly every-one on some level, whether it be for professional or social purposes, and this program will benefi t the entire community.

“I’ve always had access to Wi-Fi, so I don’t really know what it would be like not to have it,” he said. “You also learn about news which gives you a wider understanding of what’s happening.”

that goes under the radar.”BPL Chief of Communications

Gina Perille said the library staff is pleased to host counseling services.

“Libraries are community gath-ering places, and making space available for these community con-versations is important,” she said. “We see these counseling sessions as an important aspect of all of the special programs taking place in commemoration of the 2013 Bos-ton Marathon.”

There are a wide range of emo-tions that people may experience in the wake of the Boston Marathon bombings anniversary, said David Langer, a Boston University profes-sor of psychology and clinical di-rector at the Center for Anxiety and Related Disorders.

“Some people may be exposed to reminders of the anniversary and see coverage and feel sadness over it but still be functioning fi ne, and that’s a normal response,” he said. “Others may experience stron-ger symptoms due to distressing

memories of the bombings, such as nightmares, changes in mood and paranoia.”

Langer said everyone will be affected differently, but all should seek counseling if they feel they need it.

“For people [more strongly af-fected], it would be important to go to seek professional help, to express how you’re feeling, talk about the ways it’s getting in the way and talk through the emotions with a mental health professional so that things don’t feel so scary,” he said.

Several residents said the coun-seling services would bring the community together and allow peo-ple to heal in the way they feel most comfortable.

“There was such a sense of soli-darity that resulted among the peo-ple of Boston,” said Joseph Findler, 55, of Back Bay. “The ones who were there — there were hundreds who witnessed the carnage fi rst-hand, or relatives or friends of those affected — they’re defi nitely going to need help.”

Laura Montgomery, 34, of Back

Bay, said free counseling is a good option for people from socioeco-nomic statuses who may not nor-mally be able to afford such help.

“There are a lot of people who don’t have the access to resources or they don’t know about the re-sources that are out there,” she said. “If you were really close to [the bombing] when it happened, you could be a victim of secondary trauma. Even if you didn’t get hurt physically ... it’s something you re-ally need to process over a long pe-riod of time.”

Adelaide Tingley, 57, of Back Bay, said the counseling emphasiz-es the strength of Boston’s residents as the anniversary approaches.

“It brings back a lot of sad, ter-rifying moments for the city,” she said. “A lot of people are still very affected by what happened, and the one-year anniversary coming up brings up a lot of those feelings, but we’ve weathered the storm. People are very resilient. It’s a very resil-ient city.”

The Boston University ad hoc Committee on International Student Experiences and Institutional Impact held a town hall meeting Friday to ad-dress issues and concerns of universi-ty students, faculty and staff regarding the international student population.

More than 50 people attended the town hall, which took place at BU’s Photonics Center.

“What we wanted to do is hear from the community,” said commit-tee chair Willis Wang, vice president and associate provost for Global Pro-grams. “This is part of a very concert-ed effort of outreach to listen, to hear and to gather comments.”

There are 7,081 international stu-dents currently enrolled in BU, Wang said. The international student popula-tion is majorly concerned about issues with academic support, interaction between domestic and international students and mental health.

Director of Student Health Ser-vices David McBride said 21 pecent of BU students hospitalized this year were international, a significantly higher proportion compared to previ-ous years.

Some international students may

not take advantage of the services of-fered by SHS, which would explain the increase in international student hospitalizations, McBride said.

“Our international students are less likely to perceive the need for help in the realm of behavioral medicine,” he said. “They are less likely to feel a need for help even when they actually screen positive for anxiety or depres-

sion.”McBride emphasized the impor-

tance of having employees in SHS from a range of backgrounds.

“It’s incredibly difficult to recruit culturally diverse mental health work-ers because they are extraordinarily in demand in and around Boston,” he said.

Although a recent WBUR poll has shown Democratic gubernato-rial candidate Martha Coakley lead-ing the polls against her Republican opponent Charlie Baker, Democratic candidate Juliette Kayyem won the majority of votes in a student straw poll at Smith College in Northamp-ton.

The two-day College Democrats of Massachusetts convention took place between April 5 and 6 and hosted more than 150 students from Massachusetts universities and col-leges. Kayyem received 39.5 percent of the students’ votes, according to a press release on April 6.

“Juliette has been traveling throughout the Commonwealth talking about bold innovative ideas to continue pushing Massachusetts forward,” said Matthew Patton, Kayyem’s communications director, in a Friday email. “From investing in clean tech through a GreenBank to reforming the criminal justice sys-tem to providing education for ev-ery child from birth to career. These ideas combined with the strongest grassroots movement in this race are driving the campaign.”

Recent reports have indicated that Kayyem is not the leading can-didate among all Massachusetts vot-ing demographics. WBUR reported Wednesday that Coakley is currently ahead of Baker by 29 points. In the poll, conducted by the Western New England University Polling Institute, 54 percent of participating voters in-dicated they would vote for Coakley, while 25 percent said they were lean-ing toward Baker.

Steve Grossman directly trailed Kayyem in votes, receiving 21.7 percent, and Don Berwick came in third with 20.9 percent. Joe Avellone received no votes, leaving him in last place behind the write-in ballots.

“This College Democrats straw poll indicates the diverse feelings of our constituency about the emerging Democratic field,” said CDM Presi-dent Will Poff-Webster in the press release. “This convention represents an opportunity for college students to ask candidates about the issues we care about.”

The results of this straw poll come as no surprise to Boston Uni-versity College Democrats Commu-

Two Boston University profes-sors joined a conversation with Massachusetts Institute of Tech-nology Professor Noam Chomsky, a renowned linguist and political commentator, for a panel Thurs-day to address making positive change in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

More than 100 students at-tended the panel, organized by the Arabic Society of Boston Univer-sity, Thursday night in the School of Law auditorium. Andrew Bacevich, a College of Arts and Sciences professor of internation-al relations and history, and Assaf Kfoury, a CAS professor of com-puter science, also participated in the panel. CAS Professor of inter-national relations Charles Dunbar moderated the conversation.

Kfoury said one of his goals in speaking on the panel was to en-courage students to be skeptical of the information they receive about the Israeli-Palestinian con-flict from news sources.

“As any educator, it’s impor-tant that students develop a criti-cal sense of what they hear and make judgments based on infor-mation that is closer to the ob-jective reality,” Kfoury said. “I’d like people to question whatever is being given to them through the media and through other profes-sors based on fundamental princi-ples such as justice, liberty [and] solidarity among the people.”

The Israeli-Palestinian conflict should be of interest to BU stu-dents because the topic is a uni-versal issue, Kfoury said.

“We need to teach ourselves to be advocates for these principles

and fight against any form of in-justice,” he said. “It’s not some-thing to be passive about. These are issues that should be impor-

tant for all of us.”

ERIN TOUHEY/DAILY FREE PRESS STAFFWillis Wang, chair of the ad hoc Committee on International Student Expe-riences and Institutional Impact, discussed the effectiveness in meeting the needs of international students at a Boston University town hall meet-ing Friday evening at the Photonics Center.

Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center announced Wednesday the expanded use of Google Glass to its entire emergency department, becoming the first hospital in the United States to do so.

Dr. Steven Horng, who spe-cializes in emergency medicine, launched a pilot program in De-cember 2013 for the use of Google Glass, which incorporates a small, transparent screen over one eye, a high-resolution camera and a touchscreen pad over the right earpiece. Together, these tools al-low a nearly hands-free use of the device.

“Emergency medicine is a time-sensitive, information-heavy field where physicians often have to make quick decisions based on limited information,” said Dr. Ter-rance Lee, a resident of Horng’s who played a vital role in initiat-ing the Glass pilot program. “Us-ing wearable technology such as Glass allows physicians to bring up information quickly and unob-trusively.”

John Halamka, chief informa-tion officer for BIDMC, publically announced the expansion Wednes-

day on his blog.“We’ve been working over the

past [four] months on pilots that I believe will improve the safety, quality and efficiency of patient care through the integration of wearable technology such as Google Glass in the hospital envi-ronment,” he said. “I believe that wearable tech enables providers to deliver better clinical care by sup-porting them with contextually-relevant data and decision support wisdom.”

Lee said the process of using Google Glass allows doctors to view patient data while simultane-ously assisting the patient.

“Outside each patient room is a QR code specific to that room number,” he said. “Physicians scan the QR code with Glass and it will pull up the patient data for that room number, including vi-tals, laboratory values, documen-tation by nurses and doctors and pending orders. The clinician can then speak to the patient, examine the patient and perform procedures while reviewing patient data.”

Google Glass and its successors have the potential to change the way physicians and clinicians ap-proach patient care, said Dr. Jenni-

fer Joe, editor-in-chief of MedTech Boston, which covers the medical innovation scene in Boston.

“This is a game-changer,” she said. “Google Glass allows a clini-cian to essentially have a computer and thus electronic health record running at all times that is impres-sively unobtrusive to clinical work flow.”

Joe said Google Boston’s head-quarters will host a Google Glass Challenge on April 23, which will feature several keynote speak-ers, including Joe and Horng. Af-terward, doctors from across the country will present their ideas concerning the ways Google Glass can be used in the medical field.

“We’ll hear directly from the clinicians experiencing the [tech] problems and their proposed solu-tions,” she said. “Equally as im-portant, leading clinical and tech-nical experts, including Google executives themselves, will give feedback and push the ideas to the next level. There’s nothing more explosive than bringing together diverse experts to think through and fix problems.”

Joe and Lee could not reveal much about the ideas being pre-

ColumnTHE URBAN PARK RANGER

Every day, I stroll into my room around 6:30 p.m. after a thrilling day of work and classes. I sit down at my desk with my Spongebob mug, scavenge through my covert box of assorted K-cups and mentally pre-pare myself for the scrumptious delight that my Keurig pro-duces. Maybe I’m biased be-cause I adore everything with a fire-truck red hue, but I’ve re-ally developed an appreciation for my little red Keurig.

So what’s the big deal with these “K-cups”? Well, they offer a no-mess situation for people like me that always spill things — espe-cially after arising as a zombie every morning after my slumber. And just when it seems as if my sluggish eyes have been glued shut by cobwebs and the Sandman’s sandy magic, the last thing I want to do is think about how to make coffee. K-cups also of-fer a fast, easy solution for people that aren’t gifted with using a filter and want their coffee within three minutes of pressing a button.

However, here’s my confession. As someone passionate about the en-vironment, I may talk the talk, but I don’t walk the walk when it comes to K-cups. I love them way too much to give them up. I’ve gone through about 80 so far this semester. But de-spite the convenience that they offer, that’s a lot of trash that I am contrib-uting to.

According to the East Bay Ex-press, if you use the U.S. Census Bureau’s report of the total U.S. population and estimate that at least one-third of the population is using single-cup tea or coffee brewers at home, then that adds up to around 966 million pounds of waste every year. Just imagine — this roots from one little coffee pod that you can fit into your hand!

Fortunately, Keurig produces an alternative to the K-cup — a reusable coffee filter that has the same shape as a K-cup so it can fit in the holder in the machine. The possibilities are endless.

Recently, Starbucks introduced a nifty new spring blend boldly flavored with milk chocolate and sweet orange notes, inspired by a bold fusion of Latin American and East African flavors. I thought about how great it would be if they made a spring blend K-cup. Then, I had my Jimmy Neutron moment ... Brain Blast!

All you have to do is buy the bag of coffee and put the ground beans in the reusable filter and ... Voila! Any coffee you want can be brewed in a Keurig.

So for all you caffeine lovers with a single-cup coffee brewer at home, let’s stop living our lives with #nofil-ter. Coffee filters are our friends. And every time you use a reusable filter, one less coffee pod will end up in the landfill. But that doesn’t convince people.

So, I suppose you could go on Starbucks’ website right now and buy 12 K-cups for the standard price of $19.99. Or you could get one pound of the same coffee for $14.95 and put it in a reusable Keurig K-cup coffee filter. It’s your choice.

College of Communication Writ-ing Center Assistant Director John Hall said 75 percent of all of COM writing center appointments are with international students and two-thirds of these international students are from China. He said he hoped to hire a greater number of international, Chi-nese speaking tutors for next fall.

“It’s important that we look at how to make it [the writing center] so that it’s not all white American tutors, and then you have all non-white Ameri-cans as the clients,” he said.

Mihoko Maru, a Japanese research fellow at BU’s School of Social Work who plans to start an international stu-dent support group, said she attended the town hall to better understand the

resources BU offers to its international students.

“There was a disconnect between what I was thinking and what the university can offer the students,” Maru said. “What I appreciated the most was the attitude that some of the people were sharing. They were say-ing that we, as in the non-international students and staff, have to change the attitude toward international students at the university.”

Maru said when she first came to BU, she struggled to acclimate to life at the university.

“It feels like I did all of the work to adjust to the American university life,” she said. “It would be great if the university also did their share of the work, too.”

Latifah Azlan, a College of Arts

and Sciences junior from Malaysia, said she found it unfair that BU forces students to move out during official breaks.

“For international students es-pecially, it is not feasible to go back [home],” she said. “On top of that, you have to pay extra [for vacation hous-ing].”

Azlan said she was pleased to hear that BU officials were conscious of international students’ concerns at the town hall.

“The faculty and the staff really want to help international students which is really heartening to hear,” Azlan said. “It makes me happy be-cause I know that they don’t just see us as another student in the class. They see us as someone who they do want to help, and they want us to succeed.”

nications Director Alexandra Blank-man, a freshman in the College of Arts and Sciences, who said she be-lieved Kayyem is making an effort to connect with students.

“I have seen her speak recently, and it seems that she is making a con-certed effort to appeal to younger vot-ers,” she said. “Her effort is largely reflected in her conduct and attitude and less in her policies. She is look-ing to be the fresh face in a campaign of many veterans. Combine this with her experience on the national level, and it makes perfect sense why many college age students voted for her at the CDM convention.”

Several students in the Boston area said their idea of an ideal can-

didate might not be the same as those of working adults or other voting populations.

“I’m looking for a governor who has an optimistic view of the future and shows qualities of strong lead-ership that will help Massachusetts achieve its goals,” said Charlotte Miller, a sophomore in BU’s College of General Studies. “I’m looking for an ambitious, strong, optimistic leader.”

Kayla Imperatore, a health sci-ence student in the Bouvé College of Health Sciences at Northeastern Uni-versity, said Kayyem’s attention to certain issues has stood out to many students.

“I’m interested in a candidate who is a good leader, someone who can relate to a diverse group of peo-

When former Top Chef contestant Stephanie Cmar quit her job at the James-Beard-winning No. 9 Park,

she took what some might consider a step down: She applied for a job at South Campus favorite Mei Mei.

“When I quit No. 9, I did it, well, not hastily, but I didn’t know what I wanted to do,” Cmar said. “I wanted to have a really fun job, so I went on the Mei Mei website. It says ‘HIRE ME, I’M AWESOME,’ and I went, ‘Well, this looks so fun.’”

Cmar never followed up with Mei Mei, but the restaurant doesn’t hold it against her. She was busy creating her next fun job: Stacked Donuts, a pop-up restaurant circulating Boston and Brighton.

Pop-up restaurants are small, chef-driven businesses where a small team (sometimes even one chef) cooks a menu in another restau-rant’s kitchen. Some pop-ups last a few weeks, some a few nights, but Cmar’s pop up at Mei Mei Sunday lasted 30 minutes.

“You don’t know what’s going to happen,” Cmar said. “No one could show up, a trillion people could show up … There’s a huge thrill to it.”

Cmar started Stacked Donuts at Barbara Lynch’s Butcher Shop “as a farewell gift of sorts.” The restaurateur let Cmar bake in the kitchen and pop-up in the dining areas on week-end mornings. The fi rst day was so successful she decided to stick with the project. Soon, chefs from around Boston were contacting her, offering their kitchens and support.

“It was just completely organic and uninten-tional,” Cmar said. “It just happened.”

While Cmar was getting Stacked Donuts off the ground, Justin Burke-Samson and his hus-band, David, were getting ready to start a fam-ily. That is, until they saw how much it cost.

“We did the research and it’s wicked expen-sive [to raise a child]. There’s no way we could afford it because we both work a nonprofi t, so David and I started a fundraising page in lieu of a baby shower.”

The “baby fund” grew, and Burke-Samson started selling baked goods as a thank-you for donors. At a casual lunch, Cmar recommended Burke-Samson join the team, and so Trademark Tarts was born.

“Originally it was going to be cookies, but David said, ‘You need to do your Pop-Tarts,” Burke-Samson said. “So I made the Pop-Tarts, we sold out in 32 minutes, and Stephanie looked at me and said ‘You’re not going anywhere.’”

A Tasty ProposalPop-ups generally serve as a win-win for

restaurants and traveling chefs. The pop-ups give the restaurants new exposure and a boost in clientele. The restaurants cover a signifi cant portion of the pop-up’s cost of business by providing a cooking space. For instance, when Stacked Donuts and Trademark Tarts held a pop-up at Brookline’s Fairsted Kitchen April 7, drink orders quadrupled.

“Hopefully it’s a give-and-take,” Cmar said. “Without the people who support us, I would be home in bed right now.”

In addition, Cmar and Burke-Samson spend signifi cantly less than they would cooking a traditional menu. According to Burke-Samson, Trademark Tarts spends 6 to 10 percent of their profi ts on food for a day’s menu. In compari-son, Burke-Samson said the average restaurant spends 20 to 30 percent of a day’s profi ts on

food. Restaurants and chefs are far from the only

ones who benefi t: Line cooks also enjoy the perks of the pop-up.

“The people that we have help us are the line cooks in Boston, and that’s not a lucrative job at all,” Cmar said. “You just don’t make a lot of money; that’s how it’s always been. So that extra $100, or if it’s two days, $200, is literally a little over a third of their weekly paycheck.”

Alex Kim, Mei Mei’s front house manager, was happy to bring the two chefs into the kitch-en as a way to collaborate.

“I really want Steph to be able to reach dif-ferent demographics all over, and [Boston Uni-versity’s] demographic is gigantic and some-thing we want a piece of,” Kim said. “I know Stephanie has a huge following on the college campus, and just through working with her ev-ery week I really wanted her to be in my res-taurant.”

Kim began helping with Stacked Donuts on the side after the two met at Ming Tsai’s Blue

Dragon in Fort Point. Mei Mei, which opened its brick-and-mortar restaurant in November, played pop-up around the Boston restaurant community as well.

“It’s really awesome to bring two groups or demographics together and just cross-brand, cross-market and just benefi t off each other,” Kim said.

Just Having FunCmar and Burke-Samson tweeted their fair

share of selfi es — all for the sake of the busi-ness, of course.

“Justin and I take a lot of selfi es and post really kitschy things because we’re not seri-ous,” Cmar explained. “The true joy of making something like a doughnut or a Pop-Tart is to have fun, you know? It’s not to not enjoy my-self. In the last year, so much has happened that has been so serious career-wise that it’s nice to put crushed up Oreos on a doughnut. It’s nice to take a very intentional selfi e. There’s a lot of fun to it.”

Cmar began working in traditional kitchens when she was 15 years old. No. 9 Park, where Cmar developed much of her fame before Top Chef, won awards for its contemporary take on the sophisticated European restaurant. When Cmar was promoted to sous chef, she was ready for a change. When asked if she misses work-ing in a restaurant, the answer is clear.

“No,” she said. “Is that too honest? I’ve worked in restaurants since I was 15, and love it, love it a lot, but I’ve never really had any-thing to claim ownership over, and I really like working on my own terms. I don’t have the same responsibilities, the responsibilities of a kitchen. I have the freedom to do what I want, which is huge and not something you hear about very often. I can be as creative as want, I can bring in people if I want, but really it’s an adventure every time.”

Burke-Samson agreed that keeping it casual is what makes Stacked and Trademark stand out.

“Everyone living in the city gets to a point where you want to fi nd something new to do,” he said. “Pop-ups aren’t new, it’s not a new con-cept, but I think the way Stephanie and I ap-proach it is by not taking it too seriously. It’s not a mission statement, but sort of a motto, just not to take things too seriously.”

The two chefs try to make sure the food re-fl ects that casual attitude, without sacrifi cing quality. Playing on nostalgic fl avors, Sunday’s menu included cherry limeade and birthday cake Pop-Tarts alongside cookies-and-cream, green tea and blueberry pie doughnuts.

“We’re taking things from our childhood and kicking them up a notch,” Burke-Samson said.

Cmar looked up from a bowl, where she dipped freshly baked doughnuts into sticky-white glaze, rolling them in crushed Oreos be-fore placing them on a cookie sheet. She smiled and held up a doughnut.

“See? Cookies-and-cream. That was my fa-vorite ice cream fl avor,” she said. “We’re seri-ous about the quality of everything we put out, but I live life under the saying that if you feel like [expletive] you’re going to produce [exple-tive]. Nothing good’s going to come out of it.”

As for the future, Cmar and Burke-Samson are enjoying the ride and working with one an-other, letting whatever happens, happen. The two spoke as one, interrupting one another breezily as they frosted their pastries.

“It’s been really awesome, and people who are watching us are like — ” Burke-Samson started.

“— They’re laughing at us!” Cmar con-tinued. “We have very little cross-over in our lives, other than the fact that he likes baking Pop-Tarts and I like eating Pop-Tarts —”

“ — And it’s great because I have no formal kitchen experience,” Burke-Samson added. “I’m learning so much going around to all these places and Stephanie helping me troubleshoot some things — ”

“—And vice versa!”“ — And sometimes I help with the fl avor

ideas, so yeah. It’s great.” For now, Cmar is enjoying herself, appreci-

ating the spontaneity of Stacked Donuts.“It’s all been just fun,” she said. “As much

as we plan eve rything, it’s also been unplanned as well, and we’ll just continue to go as long as people continue to invite us, which is both awe-some and frightening.”

Rehabilitation not incarceration

On safety

SOFIYA MAHDI

As human beings, we like to gravitate toward situations that make us feel safe. We lock our front doors when we come in and out of our homes. We keep sensi-tive documents safely stored away. We in-sist that our friends text us to say they’ve reached home safely on the weekends.

And yet, when it comes to our security online, we are incredibly trusting of stor-ing our information in “safe” corners of the web.

There is very little we do not do on the Internet. Especially in the case of the av-erage college student, before you know it, your innermost information is stored in websites all over the place, protected sole-ly by a combination of letters and numbers, which we invent to serve as a safeguard to our privacy. So one can imagine the reper-cussions when that sense of safety we take for granted is compromised by a virus, let alone one that has apparently plagued the system for two years. As the bug, dubbed “Heartbleed,” sent the media into a frenzy along with millions of consumers, Bloom-berg reported yet another twist in the tale.

According to a story published Satur-day, the U.S. National Security Agency was allegedly aware of this bug, and em-ployed it as a resource to gather “critical intelligence.” If this information is accu-rate, it will only serve to complicate and re-ignite the debate over privacy and in-terests of national security. Consequently, the Office of the Director of National Intel-ligence denied any knowledge of the bug prior to this year.

Regardless of its purpose, the severity of the issue cannot be marginalised. Heart-bleed is one of the biggest breaches of In-ternet security in history, affecting close to two-thirds of all websites. Upon its discovery a few days ago, passwords have been changed, private companies have had to deal with potential vulnerabilities and the entire Canadian government has suspended the ability to file taxes online. U.S. President Barack Obama has called a panel to review the NSA’s surveillance ac-tivities, namely to ensure that deficiencies in online secure systems are not exploited, but rather fixed.

But, these days, our safety is not en-tirely reliant on a quick password reset. Now, the planet is facing a calamity with no reset button in sight. Climate change has been on the international agenda for a long time, but with economic pitfalls and social issues rising in priority on the policy agenda, environmental perils are left large-ly in the dust.

On Sunday, the United Nations’ Inter-governmental Panel on Climate Change released a report which indicated that climate change could be contained, but at the cost of dramatic governmental ac-tion. According to a TIME article on Sun-day, global greenhouse emissions must be reduced by 40 to 70 percent compared to 2010 levels.

Nevertheless, the good news is that change is already in motion. Countries such as Denmark, Germany and even areas of the United States are becoming more conducive to using renewable energy as a substitute to traditional energy sources. How the complex relationship between climate change activism and conventional policymaking plays out is unpredictable, but the ambiguity and inefficiency could prove costly to the safety of everyone on the planet.

And, in some cases, the want for safety is heightened as a result of danger and de-struction. I was fortunate enough to be a part of the media relations operation con-cerning the “Dear Boston” exhibit at the Boston Public Library last week. Even though the bombings during the Boston Marathon were a year ago, the emotions of reading messages of solidarity and opti-mism were still fresh.

It is with sadness we accept that tradi-tion of the Boston Marathon will never be the same again. Yet, knowing this city and knowing its limitless heart, you can be sure that support for the runners, survivors and for Boston will be insurmountable. That is why thousands will flock to the route this year unafraid, because with solidarity comes a self-proclaimed safety and secu-rity, owned, measured or monitored by no one but ourselves.

On Sunday, the Washington Wizards basketball team ushered in its newest member on a one-day contract. Amaris Jackson, a 10-year-old who suffers from renal cell carcinoma, a rare form of kidney cancer. Undeterred by her illness, she took advantage of her opportunity to be a part of a team she is passionate about. The hu-man spirit of taking life by the scruff of its neck, creating your dreams and not allow-ing the world or fear or obstacles dictate your days. That’s the spirit of Boston, and may it stay that way for years to come.

Third TiMe’S a CharM

The opinions and ideas expressed by columnists and cartoonists are their own and are not necessarily representative of the opinions of The Daily Free Press.

After going on a stabbing rampage at his high school last week in Pennsylvania, offi-cials deemed 16-year-old Alex Hribal’s ac-tions so heinous that prosecutors argue the current juvenile justice system will not allow for a severe enough punishment.

Attorney Steve Colafella said that the old-er the juvenile, the easier it is for prosecutors to argue that their actions exhibit a “degree of criminal sophistication.” However, trying Hribal, or any juvenile for that matter, based on the “sophistication” of their crime sets a dangerous precedent for creating loopholes in our justice system.

Last week, Hribal entered his high school and injured 21 of his fellow students and a security guard. Several of these victims narrowly escaped death, and many are still undergoing multiple surgeries. Police and Hribal’s lawyers have yet to determine a motive for his actions, but let’s not be sur-prised when the psychiatric evaluation cites the words “mentally ill” and “emotionally disturbed.”

Hribal’s actions were horrific and grue-some, and his punishment should correlate to the severity of his crime. However, although the provisions under the juvenile justice sys-tem may not allow for a long enough jail sen-tence, he is still technically a minor, and the prosecutors cannot lose sight of that.

Hribal’s attorney is looking to get the case moved back down to the juvenile court, claiming that he would have a better chance

of rehabilitation in the juvenile system than in an adult court. Pushing Hribal to adult court perpetuates a big problem in our justice system, which puts an emphasis on incarcer-ation rather than rehabilitation.

According to the Bureau of Justice Stat-ics, in 2009, more than 1,000 juveniles across six different states were put in adult prisons. Christian Fernandez, a 12-year-old who was charged as an adult for murdering his 2-year-old brother was among one of the more extreme cases. Regardless of how hor-rid the crimes that these juveniles commit-ted are, being tried as a juvenile or an adult should not be left up to interpretation based on the criminal’s “mental age” or the nature of their behavior.

Although Hribal is only two years away from becoming considered an adult legally, there is a logical reason why juveniles and adults are placed into separate categories.

Hribal’s age should not excuse him from the crime he committed, but the fact that he is so young shows there is a lot more fun-damentally wrong with him than just having a lot of pent-up animosity. Hribal does not deserve sympathy by any means, but rather, he deserves the professional attention for correction.

If the prosecutors want to uphold the in-tegrity of our country’s justice system, they need to adhere to the concrete lines within it — even if diverging from it would make for a more sophisticated punishment.

Keeping up with the timesAs push notifications are becoming a

more common way to obtain news than front-page headlines, Boston University’s College of Communication has turned its head toward this trend. Last week, COM unveiled the Center for Mobile Commu-nication Studies, a groundbreaking step in recognizing the current and future changes occurring in mobile news media.

The launch of this center, which is tan-gential to the COM Division of Emerging Media Studies, will conduct research on new methods of communicating, such as Skype and Snapchat, from a “social scien-tific standpoint.”

In an interview with The Daily Free Press Wednesday, director of the center and professor of emerging media James Katz said establishing a concrete thesis for eval-uating mobile communication is crucial to developing a standard for analyzing future communication methods.

“Mobility is quite unique because in earlier eras, nobody had it,” Katz said. “Emerging media is happening every-where, and it’s useful to have an organized thesis to attack problems and give focus to mobile communication studies.”

Even though it may seem trivial to ana-lyze something such as texting or sending selfies, which are so innate in the fabric of our daily lives, such research has important implications. As the audience’s preferenc-es and attention transforms, it is vital for news outlets to adapt. If the current market

of readers is acquiring their news from The New York Times push notifications, it is crucial to probe why such media attract so much attention for the sake of maintaining readership.

Although the traditional newspaper and 8 p.m. national news broadcast are still alive and (sort of) well, news consumers are increasingly relying on mobile applica-tions to enhance their global awareness.

Leading communication universities across the country are also scrambling to keep up with the ever-changing world of media. The Annenberg School for Com-munication and Journalism at the Univer-sity of Southern California plans to offer a course focused solely on using Google Glass to report. And the University of Houston is keeping its students and faculty informed by consistently updating their Snapchat stories.

COM’s Center for Mobile Communica-tion has larger goals than simply teaching students how to take the most flattering selfie. Today’s communication is evolving, and educators owe it to their students to adapt to the new forms of media they them-selves might not have yet mastered.

Mobile communication is an inevitable part of our daily lives, and pinpointing how this came to be is essential for analyzing what readers want and helping journalists stay on top of trends while still getting the message out to the public.

the Eagles, the team boasted production up and down the lineup.

Kehr finished Saturday with four hits and two RBI, while Clendenny had three hits with four RBI. Connolly also tallied three hits, four runs and four swiped bags. Additionally, the two Terrier pitchers who had been out for weeks with injuries, Rus-sell and Akers, finally returned, taking an enormous amount of pressure off of Hynes.

Gleason said she was happy to get Rus-sell and Akers some innings this past week-end after missing some time.

“We just wanted to get them back in the games, get them comfortable,” Gleason said. “It was great for us to have those op-tions… It was a good thing for us to have them there [this weekend].”

Sunday, the Terriers worked quickly, as

they looked to snap their four-game losing streak. Following a leadoff foul out from Connolly, freshman third baseman Brittany Younan got the offense rolling for BU with a double, her first of three hits on the day. Kehr sent Younan home with a double of her own and Hynes and junior first base-man Mandy Fernandez each added doubles.

Ekart followed with a two-run home run, totaling five runs in the inning. The bats did not stop there as the team scored in each of the first four innings to secure an 11-1 win and Hynes’ 13th win of the season.

“We knew they were going to come back with their change up pitcher,” Glea-son said. “[We focused on] attacking her from the beginning … [and] and hitting the ball on the ground …When you put the ball in play, good things can happen.”

Zickel and his defensive unit kept the Terriers close at the break. The Hudson, Ohio native made eight saves in the half, while the defense went 7-of-10 on clear attempts against the Loyola offense that came into the game ranked fifth in the NCAA.

On the other end of the field, the BU offense tested a Greyhounds defense that sits fourth in the nation in scoring defense. The Terriers took 15 shots in the half, and forced Runkel to make eight saves.

In the third frame, things would open up for both sides. Freshman midfielder Sam Talkow won the opening faceoff to give the Terriers the first attacking chance of the second half. On the possession, freshman midfielder Craig Zebrowski got the ball near midfield, made a darting run down the right alley and slotted one past Runkel to make it a two-goal game a little more than a minute into the half.

Zebrowski’s goal proved to be a wake-up call for the dormant Greyhound offense that went on to score four unanswered goals to open up an 8-2 advantage with 8:08 re-maining in the third quarter. BU would re-spond with two quick goals from freshman midfielders Chad Bell and Sammy Davis to bring the Terriers back to within four goals of the Greyhounds.

At the 1:34 mark, the Patriot League leader in assists, attack Justin Ward, notched the 37th helper of his senior cam-

paign when he capped off a long Grey-hound possession with a pass across the frame of the goal to midfielder Tyler Al-brecht, who scored to make the Loyola lead 9-4 through the first three quarters.

Loyola continued its scoring surge to start the fourth as freshman Ryan Fournier tallied his third goal of the year with 13:26 to go in the contest, pushing the Greyhound lead back to six goals.

BU would fight back, though, and Ten-ney took advantage of a man-up opportu-nity to make it 10-5 in favor of Loyola. Freshman midfielder Cal Dearth assisted on Tenney’s goal and with 7:12 remaining, he converted his own unassisted effort in transition, bringing the score to 10-6.

From there, the Loyola offense took over, scoring five straight goals to end the contest. Pontrello, who stands second in the nation in goals per game, scored three of the Greyhounds’ goals and Ward assist-ed on two during the stretch.

Although the result was another loss for the Terriers, the team showed signs of improvement. Zickel made a career-high 14 saves and the defense went 19-for-23 on clears. In addition, the team only com-mitted 15 turnovers, a markedly better re-sult than the 26 it had in its last matchup against Harvard University, a 14-9 loss, last Tuesday.

BU coach Ryan Polley could not be reached for comment.

in favor of the visitors.Five minutes later, BU countered with

two goals of its own. Senior attack Eliza-beth Morse and redshirt sophomore attack Mallory Collins each added a goal to cut Loyola’s lead back to two goals.

But every time it felt like the Terriers were back in the game, the Greyhounds had an answer. Midfielder Sydney Thomas fired a shot to the back of the net at the 8:13 mark, and midfielder Marlee Paton had two goals of her own to finish the half, extend-ing the Greyhounds’ lead to 10-5 at the break.

“We were in the game,” Robertshaw said. “But those three goals to end the

half really hurt us. It seemed like my girls started to hang their hands, and I didn’t like that, not one bit. Our defense let us down a little bit at the end of the half, and they need to stay sharp, for all 30 minutes.”

To start the second half, BU won the draw control, but turned the ball over on the opening possession, which led to Pa-ton scoring her third goal of the game. This pushed Loyola’s lead to six goals, the Greyhounds’ biggest lead of the game at that point.

The Terriers came back with two quick ones, as Adams and Weiner took advantage of the Loyola’s sloppy defense to make the score 11-7 with just over 27 minutes left in the contest.

“Once we cut the lead to four goals and started playing better, I thought we had a chance,” Robertshaw said. “But we just couldn’t stay focused, we needed to keep putting pressure on them. It eventu-ally came back to hurt us, but when you’re making a comeback, you have to take some risks.”

In the 26th minute the two teams ex-changed goals to bring the score to 12-8.

Loyola would then go on to finish the game on a 7-0 run with seven different Greyhounds scoring during the stretch. Throughout the game, 11 different Grey-hounds notched goals.

Overall, the Greyhounds posted a clear advantage in shots, outshooting BU 43-12.

The Greyhounds also posted a 22-9 advan-tage in draw control.

The win guaranteed the Greyhounds at least a share of the Patriot League regular season title and a first-round bye in the Pa-triot League Tournament. The loss for the Terriers added to their frustration, as they have now lost three games in a row.

“We need to get back on track,” Robert-shaw said. “I don’t know what we’re doing out there, that second half was just terrible. A 7-0 run? Really? We can’t let that hap-pen. I may be happy about the attacks, they finally seem to be playing better and with more consistency. But if we want to win going forward, our defense needs to pick it up.”

ness. Horka has two times as many fouls as the next closest Terrier with 67 and she has turned the ball over 28 times, which also leads the squad. During BU’s three-game losing streak, Horka has turned the ball over eight times.

Facing No. 14 Loyola University-Maryland Saturday, Horka played her typi-cal game, only this time she matched up against a team of comparable athleticism. She scored the Terriers’ final goal, cutting the deficit to four, before the Greyhounds (11-4, 7-0 Patriot League) finished out the game on a 7-0 run to cap off a 19-8 drub-bing.

Though she kept her goal streak alive, Horka fell prone to a swarming Loyola defense that took her out of her element. She committed four turnovers, all of which occurred near midfield during the transi-

tion into the offensive zone. To add insult to injury, the referees targeted Horka for six fouls where one of them resulted in a yellow card and a two-minute stint on the sideline.

“I think Jill is playing a really tough game right now,” Robertshaw said. “I was happy to see her take more chances today. For Jill, she just has to find the balance between playing the team game plan and bringing her athleticism to it.”

With a matchup against crosstown rival Harvard University coming up on Wednes-day, Horka and the Terriers will get the chance to control possession. The Crimson (7-5) play a more conservative defense than BU has seen in recent weeks as they force less than eight turnovers per game. Though Horka has struggled of late in pos-session, the stage is set for her athleticism to take over as the season winds down.

After losing three games in as many days, the Boston University softball team avoided dropping to .500, fi nishing its weekend at College of the Holy Cross with a

fi ve-inning victory. The Terriers (20-18, 5-4 Patriot

League) had diffi culties early this weekend with a rematch against rival Boston College on Thursday at home. Sophomore pitcher Lau-ren Hynes, the team’s mainstay

in the circle this year, was asked to go the distance for her eighth consecutive game. Hynes pitched well, allowing only six hits and two earned runs in her seven in-nings of work. However, her of-fense failed to back her up.

In the bottom of the fi rst, the Terriers threatened to strike fi rst against the Eagles (22-17), but eventually fell short. After draw-ing a leadoff walk, senior right fi elder Jayme Mask advanced to second on a sacrifi ce bunt from freshman center fi elder Moriah Connolly. Senior shortstop Brit-tany Clendenny then singled to right fi eld, but Mask was gunned down at the plate thanks to a solid throw by right fi elder Taylor Cor-oneos.

Clendenny’s single was the Terriers’ sole hit of the day, as BC pitcher Jordan Weed retired her next 18 batters. The Eagle offense then scored runs in each of the next three innings. After loading the bases, Hynes walked in a run in the second, and RBI from soph-omore Jessie Daulton and fi rst baseman Nicole D’Argento in the third and fourth innings sealed the Terriers’ fate as they lost 3-0.

BU coach Kathryn Gleason said she was unhappy after the Terriers’ poor showing on the of-fensive side.

“[I’m] disappointed in our ef-fort,” Gleason said. “I asked them before the game to just focus on the fundamentals and do the little things and I don’t think we did that. It’s tough to win when you only get one hit.

“We started the game off nice. I thought at the beginning of the game we were getting some balls

in play, but we just didn’t come through.”

Still searching for their 20th win, the Terriers headed to Worcester Saturday to begin a Patriot League series with Holy Cross (7-16, 5-4 Patriot League). The Crusaders came into the weekend cold at the plate. For the season, Holy Cross is batting .250 and has just a .317 on base percentage. However, the Crusad-ers managed to come through, sweeping the two games played Saturday afternoon.

In game one, Hynes let up three runs on four hits in the third, with RBI from sophomore Emily Jarvis and senior Sarah Free, who later scored in the inning off a throwing error by senior catcher Amy Ekart.

BU responded in the top of the fi fth with a two-run double from Clendenny. But after plating one in the bottom of the frame off freshman pitcher Makinna Akers, the Crusaders took the game by a score of 4-2.

The second game was an-other closely contested matchup. Trading runs throughout, sopho-more pitcher Melanie Russell was called upon to close out the game in her fi rst appearance since March 8. Russell’s return was spoiled, though, as two errors from Clendenny and one from se-nior fi rst baseman Chelsea Kehr cost the team two runs, and Holy Cross walked off with the sweep, taking the game 6-5.

Despite dropping both Satur-day games, there were several positives for the Terriers. Bounc-ing back from their one-hit loss to

FALON MORAN/DAILY FREE PRESS STAFFSenior fi rst baseman Chelsea Kehr had two hits and also drove in two runs in BU’s 11-1 win versus Holy Cross.

Facing the toughest opponent of its inaugural season, the Bos-ton University men’s lacrosse team competed valiantly, but fell to No. 1/3 Loyola University-Maryland, 15-6, in Baltimore.

Freshman goalkeeper Tyler Zickel made the second start of his career in place of classmate Christian Carson-Banister, who was sidelined due to injury.

From the opening whistle, the Terriers (1-11, 1-6 Patriot League) proved that they were not going to let the heavily fa-vored Greyhounds (11-1, 7-0 Pa-triot League) have their way. Less than a minute into the game, BU struck fi rst. Zickel made a save on what looked to be a point-blank opportunity for the Greyhounds’ leading goal scorer attack Nikko Pontrello.

Freshman midfi elder Billy Kane collected the loose ball and sprinted up the fi eld where he found sophomore midfi elder Alex Paroda, who launched a shot from distance that fl ew by goalkeeper Jack Runkel.

BU’s defense would then hold strong against the potent Loyola offense, forcing a 30-second clock violation. However, on the subsequent Terrier possession, defender Justin Fletcher picked off a pass intended for freshman attack Adam Schaal and sent the ball forward, where senior Matt Sawyer was able to tie up the score.

Less than two minutes later, the Greyhounds scored another goal in transition as midfi elder Pat Laconi caught the Terrier defense off guard and gave the home side a 2-1 advantage with 9:32 left in the opening quarter.

Loyola would get one more goal in the fi rst frame at the 6:37 mark when Sawyer picked up a loose ball off of a Zickel save and dished it to senior Kevin Ryan, who converted to make the score 3-1.

The second quarter was a de-fensive showdown, as neither de-fensive unit gave the offense any room to breathe. Freshman attack Ryan Johnston almost cut into the Loyola advantage on BU’s fi rst offensive possession, but his spinning shot from the right side of the crease went just wide of the net.

After redshirt freshman attack Sam Tenney’s shot from close range was stopped by Runkel, the Greyhounds took a time out with 4:57 left in the half. Right after the break, Jeff Chase found the back of the net to push Loyola’s lead to 4-1. Chase’s goal would be the only that either team would convert in the frame.

The Boston University wom-en’s lacrosse team welcomed No. 14 Loyola University-Maryland to Nickerson Field Saturday af-ternoon.

The Terriers (6-8, 4-3 Patriot League) could not break out of their recent slump, as they fell to the Greyhounds (11-4, 7-0 Patriot League) by a score of 19-8.

“We just didn’t show up to-day,” said BU coach Liz Robert-shaw. “I don’t know what hap-pened. It’s like we didn’t even want to play. I didn’t see any en-ergy out there, out of anyone. It was frustrating to watch. I’m not happy right now, not at all and I’m going to make sure they know that. And they better not be happy either.”

Redshirt junior Taryn Van-Thoft won the draw for Loyola to start the game, and attack Hannah Schmitt got the scoring started early, giving the Greyhounds a 1-0 lead just 16 seconds into the game.

Loyola dominated the game early on, continuing to fi re shot

after shot. Attack Annie Thomas added another goal for the Grey-hounds at the 24:47 mark to open up 2-0.

BU sophomore midfi elder Ally Adams would respond, notching two goals in short span to knot up the game at two with 22:54 re-maining in the half.

The tie was short-lived though, and the Greyhounds answered back with two quick goals off the stick of attack Kara Burke and Thomas to regain a 4-2 advantage with 22:17 left in the opening frame.

A little more than a minute lat-er, junior attack Lindsay Weiner scored to pull the Terriers to with-in one goal of Loyola.

After the goal, play became a bit sloppy, as both teams ex-changed multiple possessions. The Greyhounds picked up their play, though, and Schmitt laced one to the back of the net at the 16:04 mark. Burke and Thomas added one free-position goal each just moments later to make it 7-3

Though plagued with inconsis-tency of late, the Boston Univer-sity women’s lacrosse team can rely on sophomore midfi elder Jill Horka to bring her dynamic style of play to every game, even if it causes a few miscues.

Horka came into BU (6-8, 4-3 Patriot League) as a highly-touted prospect and she immedi-ately lived up to expectations as a freshman. After leading the team with 22 forced turnovers and fi n-ishing top-three in both draw con-trols and ground balls, Horka was named to the America East Con-ference All-Conference Second Team and the All-Rookie Team.

Following her standout fresh-man campaign, Horka has only refi ned her skills this season. The Westborough native is tied for third on the team in goals, is fourth in points and leads the squad in ground balls, draw con-trols and caused turnovers.

On the offensive end, Horka is a force due to her speed and agility around the 8-meter arc, which allows her to create scor-

ing chances for herself and team-mates. Horka has scored in each of the last fi ve games, including a four-goal outburst in the 9-8 vic-tory over Lafayette College. She has also been especially timely this season, scoring two game-winning goals in 2014.

Defensively, Horka plays an aggressive style which allows her natural athleticism to take over. She has caused 20 turnovers this season, six more than her fellow midfi elder, senior Becca Church. With 23 draw controls and 27 ground balls, Horka is crucial in BU’s possession game, facilitat-ing successful clear attempts.

“I love it when she makes those athletic plays whether it’s causing a turnover or taking a great shot,” said BU coach Liz Robertshaw of Horka. “That’s awesome for us. But, sometimes her athleticism dominates so much that it gets diffi cult for her to stay in that sys-tem.”

Despite Horka’s playmaking ability, she often disrupts the Ter-riers’ fl ow due to her reckless-
