SOUNDS OF THE ORANGE

"VICT'RY'S IN SIGHT FOR OLD SYRA­ cuse . Each loyal son knows she ne'er more will lose. For we'll fight, yes, we'll fight, and with all our might, for the glory of Syracuse." The familiar anthem, heard amid the cheering inside the Carrier Dome, blasts from the trumpets, drums, and other instruments of the Syracuse University Marching Band. It's the "SU Fight Song," and now students, alumni, and fans of the Orange don't have to wait until game time to hear it and sing proudly along. Members of the Syracuse community both near and far, past and present, can have the sounds of the Orange available at their fingertips.

FINDING JUSTICE IN CAMBODIA

BY CLAIRE DUFFETT

ON MARCH 30, I STOOD IN A PARKING LOT OUTSIDE Phnom Penh, Cambodia, discussing genocide. The heat of the midday sun beat down and buses kicked up plumes of dust as they passed . I was exactly where I wanted to be. The first United Nations-backed trial of a former Khmer Rouge cadre began that morning. As many as two million Cambodians died during the regime's paranoid, totalitarian rule in the late 1970s, led by Pol Pot. One survivor, Uk Sam Yul, explained to me outside the courtroom that afternoon what the day's events meant to him. "I hope the people of Cambodia will now release their anger. Now I can," said the 54-year-old farmer, who spent three years in a Khmer Rouge prison accused of belonging to the CIA. Peasants were rou­ tinely accused of espionage, tortured to confess, then execut­ ed and dumped in mass graves now known as the notorious "killing fields." The regime fell before it could execute Uk Sam Yul. Today, few survivors possess his clemency. At a press conference after a pre-trial hearing last November, one victim said she wanted to eat a Khmer Rouge leader, while another victim said he'd call AI Qaeda and ask them to bomb the courthouse if proceedings didn't move along satisfactorily. history and joined a large community of experienced journal­ Uk Sam Yul-and tens of thousands like him-waited 30 ists with full-time newspaper and wire service jobs. years for this trial to start.

Prized Writing» COLLEGE OF LAW ALUMNA WINS THE PULITZER

WHEN SHE WAS A CHILD GROWING UP IN NEW HAMPSHIRE AND Maine, Elizabeth Strout L'82 says she "spent a great deal of time in librar­ ies, randomly taking books off shelves." Now that her fiction has been rec­ ognized with the Pulitzer Prize, those childhood memories have taken on new meaning. "When I was young, it seemed many of the books I loved had been honored with this prize," says Strout, winner of the 2009 Pulitzer Prize for distinguished fiction by an American author for Olive Kitteridge (Random House), a collection of 13 stories set in a small town in Maine. "So in my mind, there is some resonance of this memory that adds to the pleasure of receiving it." According to the Pulitzer citation, the collection "packs a cumulative emotional wallop, bound together by polished prose and by Olive, the title character, blunt, flawed and fascinating." The book's publisher offers this description: "At times stern, at other times patient, at times perceptive, at other times in sad denial, Olive Kitteridge, a retired schoolteacher, de­ plores the changes in her little town of Crosby, Maine, and in the world at large, but she doesn't always recognize the changes in those around her .. . [the book] offers profound insights into the human condition-its con­ flicts, its tragedies and joys, and the endurance it requires." Photo by Miriam Berkley Strout is also the author of Abide with Me, a national bestseller and Book Sense pick, and Amy and Isabelle , which won the Los Angeles Times Art Seldenbaum Award for First Fiction and the Chicago Tribune Heartland Prize, and was adapted as a movie for television in 2001. Her short stories have been published in leading magazines, including The New Yorker and 0 : The Oprah Magazine, and she has been a finalist for the PEN/ Faulkner Award and the Orange Prize in England . She was also nominated for the National Book Critics Circle Award for Olive Kitteridge. "I am deeply honored to win the Pulitzer," says Strout, who lives in New York City and teaches in the M .F.A. creative writing program at Queens University of Charlotte in North Carolina. "And I'm glad, too, that the story of Olive Kitteridge may reach more people. I believe and hope that we come to literature to seek the more primitive truths about ourselves that we may have forgotten along the way." -Amy Speach
