Ex-player enters guilty plea Pierce-Brewster gets one year probation for burglary charges

By Jacob Pramuk asst. news editor

A former Syracuse University football player pled guilty Wednesday morning to third-degree burglary charges connected to a South Campus robbery last winter.

Markus Pierce-Brewster, an ex-SU defensive lineman, will be sentenced to one year of “interim probation” and won’t see jail time if he upholds the conditions of his probation, acting Onondaga County Supreme Court Justice John Brunetti ruled.

one person stood out to her.

His name was Armando, a short man with brown hair in his midfifties. He was a gardener with a wife and two kids, learning English to support his family in El Salvador.

Doria remembers being in a church basement with Armando and a group of 60 and 70-year-olds, giving them a lesson about a language she grew up speaking. But, she ended up learning much more from them.

“I learned values and how to be patient and understanding,” she said. “I had a strong relationship with every single one of them…they gave me passion and drive every single day.”

Teaching English to Spanishspeaking adults made Doria realize that she wanted to pursue teaching as a career. Now, the freshman is enrolled in the Spanish Education program, which is a partnership between the College of Arts and Sciences and the School of Education.

Gail Bulman, chair of the department of languages, literatures and linguistics and the program’s advisor, said she and a group of professors and faculty have been working to initiate the program for at least three years.

“Because there was not a specific major, it was up to the student to put together a program that would hopefully allow them to pass their certification exams,” she said. “We thought it was very burdensome for students and didn’t always lead them to succeeding in becoming Spanish teachers.”

Malty chocolate stout exceeds expectations

By Tom Sharkey staff writer

I have never been a huge fan of stout beers. I know this may sound like heresy to some, but my first experience with Guinness turned me off to stouts and before this week, I can’t remember the last time I drank one.

This time around I crafted my own six-pack from Wegmans’ “create-your-own six-pack” offer, focusing my efforts on diversifying my selection.

The Harpoon Chocolate Stout stood out right away.

I recognized the Boston-based brewery’s name and was intrigued by both the bottle’s label and the idea of a chocolate stout.

After pouring it into a tall, Guinness pint glass, I was a little thrown by the lack of any foam head the Harpoon Chocolate Stout had, but this is typical for stouts.

I took my first sip and was impressed right away. Obviously, I anticipated a chocolate taste but I also expected to be turned off by the malty taste that accompanies most

stout beers. The chocolate aroma was very present, as was the taste. But, for a flavored beer, both were subtle.

The chocolate taste actually lingered for a considerable amount of time, but not in a bad way. I noticed hints of coffee in the taste and a good balance between the chocolate taste and the maltiness of the Harpoon Chocolate Stout.

The beer left little traces of film on the side of the glass as I continued to drink it, again contradicting my experiences with more hoppy beers.

I’m happy to report that my venture with this stout gave me hope that I can expand my palette beyond the scope of India Pale Ales.

The most significant thing about my experience with Harpoon Brewery’s Chocolate Stout is that it reminded me that the biggest players in the game, for example Guinness’ presence as one of the most popular stout beers, aren’t necessarily the best representation of a particular type of beer.

Now, I just have to try to find a porter beer that I can enjoy and I’ll be convinced that anything is possible.

Spring Break or a weekend abroad.

About 283,332 American students studied abroad in 2011-2012, compared to a little more than 270,000 in 2010-2011, according to NAFSA: Association of International Educators.

The trend of going abroad is growing, not just across the country, but on SU’s campus, as well. Approximately 40 percent of SU students spend a semester abroad, according to SU Abroad’s website.

Blum said worries about money

have also plagued students.

“Not only is finding an apartment in a foreign country hard, but more importantly, people find it hard to trust sending a whole semester’s rent to a broker in Spain,” Blum said.

Blum uses the knowledge he gained from his time in Spain to provide a good foundation for his clients.

Tori Schneebaum, a student at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, said she used Study Abroad Apartments because she

first used another program that didn’t have the most ideal housing options.

Schneebaum also said she had never traveled to Barcelona before, but said Study Abroad Apartments made sure that she and her roommates were comfortable and living in a safe place.

With more American students opting to study abroad and less housing available for them, living abroad is becoming an issue.

Syracuse University student Ryan Blum has created a solution.

Blum, a senior entrepreneurship major, created Study Abroad Apartments, a company that provides students with a more transparent housing process while abroad. Students live with other students as a way to adjust to foreign culture and make the overseas experience more enjoyable.

“The reason I started this company is because after experiencing abroad independent housing options, I realized that there was no American company that helps students find apartments abroad,” Blum said.

Alongside his partner, Brett Newman, a student at The Ohio State University, Blum created Study Abroad Apartments four months ago to help those in the same situation he was put in. The company has since served more than 75 students.

Blum said Study Abroad Apartments has served students from more than 14 colleges across the country, including the University of Arizona, University of Michigan and University of Florida.

Study Abroad Apartments recently added a service to its already popular semester-long housing service. Blum said his company is offering short-term apartment rentals for any students and families who visit Barcelona for

Spanish education program provides adequate teacher training Syracuse University’s newly implemented Spanish Education Bachelor’s of Art Program is a step in the right direction and should serve as a starting point for language education programs at SU. The program, which began this semester and is the first language education program SU has had since the 1990s, offers a specific area of study and a faster path to certification for students that want to teach Spanish at secondary schools in New York State.

Spanish education majors are jointly enrolled in the Department of Languages, Literatures, and Linguistics and in the School of Education’s Teaching and Leadership program. Students earn one bachelor’s degree

given dually between the College of Arts and Sciences and the School of Education.

The program combines Spanish and education into a single discipline.

This allows students to master the language and the method of teaching it to others. It will also accelerate the teaching certification process upon graduation, which requires a series of exams.

These programs are important because they offer the dual benefit of learning a language and learning specifically how to teach that language at the middle and high school levels.

While there is only one student currently enrolled in the program, further promotion in the next few years can help the program grow.

If the program sees increased enrollment, SU should expand it by adding a diverse range of language education programs such as German, French and Arabic.

Language education programs are something that SU has been lacking.

Ithaca College already has established teacher education programs in French and German in addition to Spanish. The Spanish program is a step in the right direction for SU, but it just the start.

With more language education programs, the network of foreign language teachers in middle and high schools both in New York state and across the U.S. will grow.

When there are more qualified teachers,

language courses will become standard in more schools.

The U.S. lags behind other industrialized countries in language education.

According to the Asia Society, a non-profit, nonpartisan educational organization, 20 of 25 industrialized countries start teaching languages at the kindergarten level.

American students typically do not start learning a language until middle or high school.

It is vital for American students to start catching up to their counterparts around the world.

The growth of programs like the one SU is now offering will produce more teachers and more multilingual students in America.

letter to the editor

Smoking ban debate to address both sides of divisive proposition As over 1,000 college campuses across the United States have banned smoking on campus, subsequent campus bans and attempts to eliminate smoking have been examined. This is a topic that calls upon students, faculty and community members to seek opinions on and solutions from.

Whether you support a full ban, partial ban or upholding our current university policy, we invite you to join the Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs and the Campbell Public Affairs Institute in exploring this topic.

According to the American Nonsmokers’ Rights Foundation, there are currently 67 college campuses in New York state with smokefree policies.

Fifty-five of these are tobacco-free. Several campuses with smoke-free policies include New York University, SUNY Buffalo and SUNY Cortland.

Under the current Syracuse University policy, smoking is prohibited in all indoor locations of university owned, operated or controlled property. Smoking receptacles at SU are commonly located outside of academic buildings and residence halls on campus.

To date, there has been discussion of everything from a full ban to relocating receptacles, installing smoker’s gazebos and instituting fines for those who smoke outside of designated areas.

During the 55th Legislative Session of the Student Association, Colleges for Change, a program that operates within the New York State Department of Health, presented survey data that found nearly 25 percent of respondents were bothered by secondhand smoke.

The survey was sent to 1,500 SU students and employees, and 1,167 responded. Fifth-year students were excluded from the sample.

While smoke-free campus initiatives have been pursued in the past, discussion and action surrounding the topic has since subsided. As student leaders, we believe that it is time to revisit this discussion and we are thrilled to be given the opportunity to do so

through the Campbell Debates.

We seek to fully represent the varying student interests at Syracuse University as we support opposing sides.

Cliff Douglas, Director of the University of Michigan Tobacco Research, and Duane Ford will argue in favor of the proposition. Senator John DeFrancisco and Alexandra Curtis will present the opposing arguments.

The debate will be held on Jan. 23 at 7 p.m. in Heroy Auditorium. We encourage all students and faculty members to attend and participate.

‘Blackfish’ film proves need for better treatment of captive whales

O

rcas, also called killer whales, are marine apex predators that rarely come in contact with humans, let alone show aggression toward humankind. In fact, according to Gabriela Cowperthwaite’s film “Blackfish,” there are no reported cases of orcas attacking or killing humans in the wild.

But in captivity, there’s a different story — more than 70 attacks during the last 40 years, some causing human fatalities.

This statistic alone is enough to reconsider the quality of life of orcas in captivity. Unless conditions can improve substantially for the whales and human trainers, orca whales should not be kept for entertainment purposes.

The academic dialogue about the continued conditions in parks such as SeaWorld is finally highlighted to News Editor Annie Palmer Editorial Editor Rachael Barillari Editorial Editor Anna Hodge Sports Editor Stephen Bailey Feature Editor Joe Infantino Presentation Director Lizzie Hart Photo Editor Sam Maller Art Director Natalie Riess Copy Chief Audrey Hart Development Editor Maddy Berner Social Media Producer Meredith Newman

MEG CALLAGHAN

21ST CENTURY TREE HUGGER the public in “Blackfish.” Increasing research into the lives of whales, specifically orcas in the wild, coupled with information increasing about their lives in captivity, show differences that are cringe-worthy.

These complex creatures are still actively studied in the 21st century because there is still so much we do not know but we’re beginning to learn they are a lot smarter than we thought they were.

Orcas are social creatures, like other marine mammals such as seals, and they are highly intelligent. They live together in pods created out of close and extended family members. Some more recent data shows that orcas may Video Editor Web Developer Asst. News Editor Asst. News Editor Asst. News Editor Asst. Feature Editor Asst. Feature Editor Asst. Sports Editor Asst.

have developed emotional and selfrecognition spheres of the brain that could rival humans even.

While it is a stretch to compare a whale to a human, though the documentary does so to emotionally persuade viewers, the fact that orcas are so intelligent brings morality into the question of their captivity. Taking whales out of their extended family units and keeping them in isolation seems incredibly cruel in that respect.

Orca pods created in animal parks are a mishmash of different animals that are bought and sold through the animal entertainment industry. With this lack of familial bond, orcas are known to turn to violence against their fellow whales.

This is not uncommon for all sorts of animals kept in captivity. Though there are healthier and safer captivity environments, areas without sufficient

stimulus, open space and equivalent environments to wild habitats can turn animals to violence and self-harm.

Often this happens with the animals deemed to be more highly intelligent.

Animals that do well in captivity are predominantly herd, prey animals with herbivore diets. Orca whales, as carnivorous apex predators, living in highly intelligent, socialized pods, not only do not fit into those categories but are seemingly the antithesis.

With all these issues, orca whales are extremely large mammals, making it difficult to create sufficient captivity environments.

Many parks throughout the animal entertainment industry are insufficient in meeting the needs of orcas and trainers, but the industry itself, along with the U.S. government, have kept a hands-off and lax approach that has jeopardized health and safety.

The industry specifically has used misinformation, about everything from whale facts to whale attack event details, to maintain the unregulated system. While this may not have been intentional, with so many human attacks and fatalities, the system needs to change.

When compared to other predators kept in captivity, orcas rack up far more attacks and fatalities.

Keeping an orca in a concrete pool to do backflips does not provide the life that these creatures need to survive in captivity.

These highly intelligent creatures deserve more than that and with the safety of humans at risk, the only thing stopping this is an industry in denial.

Cornell University creates student, faculty council to evaluate sexual assault cases

By Claire Moran staff writer

A

ccording to the Rape, Abuse and Incest National Network, a college with 10,000 students could experience as many as 350 rapes per year.

Cornell University, which had 14,000 students in 2011, decided to do something to protect itself from living out this statistic.

Last September, Cornell formed a student-faculty council called the Council on Sexual Violence Prevention to help advise the Executive Committee on Campus, Climate and Health on how to maintain a safe campus environment, according to a Jan. 19 article by the Huffington Post.

The council met for the first time during the fall 2013 semester and has discussed establishing a sexual violence prevention center, according to the article.

Cornell also updated its policy in spring

since 1993.

of 2012 to the “preponderance of evidence” standard. This makes it easier for victims to report incidents because allegations are considered to be “more likely than not” true, according to the article.

The changes in Cornell’s assault policies are occurring “in the wake of issues that arose last semester,” said Cornell president David Skorton in a February 2013 statement.

The Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights conducted investigations at several colleges throughout the United States, including University of North Carolina and Yale University, in response to students’ claims. Cornell is not one of the universities under investigation.

“We now need to lower the likelihood of such incidents occurring by making a deliberate commitment in how we operate to prevent sexual misconduct and all forms of bias and by focusing on how we treat each other,” Skorton said in his Feb. letter.

Because Cornell’s initiative is a cross-campus effort, Susan Murphy, vice president for

community services and co-chair of the CSVP, said the university will work to help create a safer campus.

“By including students, faculty, staff and partners from the Ithaca community, the council will bring a community perspective to these concerns, increasing the likely impact and success of any initiatives we undertake,” she said.

“Our aim is to make sure the campus remains a safe and respectful academic and workplace environment focused on education,” said Mary Opperman, vice president of Cornell’s human resources and safety services and one of the co-chairs of the CSVP, in a Nov. 11 University press release regarding the council.

Said Opperman: “We not only have a commitment to raise awareness for faculty, staff and students around bias reporting, but also we have a responsibility to educate the Cornell community on how to create an inclusive and welcoming environment.” clmoran@syr.edu

specialist at the School of Education. But in the early 90s, SU went through a budget crisis and cut the programs.

The Spanish education program was not approved until last summer. Doria said she met several faculty members on campus who wanted to pass the program and it rubbed off on her.

“The passion that the faculty had definitely influenced me with the program,” Doria said.

Bulman said they researched similar programs at other colleges, but the collaboration between schools within the university makes SU stand apart.

“It’s a little more complicated to create programs across disciplines,” she said. “But we did it.”

But New York state’s requirements for teachers are complicated: Before graduation, students in SU’s School of Education must apply for an initial certificate, pass New York state teacher exams and undergo background checks, among several other processes.

New York state’s requirements and class curriculums are constantly changing, which poses a problem for aspiring and current teachers.

Doria said she feels confident she will become certified to teach in New York. She said she hopes that future generations will also want to help someone who moves to the United States, like her grandparents.

“They came to America from Italy not knowing English, not knowing how to have a job and make money,” Doria said. “They still don’t know how to read and write.”

Amanda Brown, an assistant professor of linguistics, said part of being a great teacher is passing along strategies for learning a foreign language inside and outside the classroom.

“Learning a language can create a lot of anxiety,” she said. “Not being able to express yourself as well in a second language goes to the core of your identity.”

Kathryn Everly, a Spanish program coordinator and professor of Spanish literature and culture, said the first teaching job can be a hit or miss, adding that there is a huge learning curve.

“It’s tough, because you don’t know what kind of teacher you’re going to be until you start teaching,” she said.

Everly said the program can help students overcome the learning curve by giving them a foundation in both education and Spanish culture and language.

Brown said that no matter how long someone has been a teacher, the person still has a lot to learn.

Said Brown: “The best teachers realize that they never stop learning about all of these things themselves.” ekmeyers@syr.edu

court March 21 to determine the circumstances of his probation. If he completes the interim probation with no further legal troubles, Pierce-Brewster will see the charges reduced to trespassing, which is a misdemeanor, Brunetti said.

Pierce-Brewster backed out of the same sentence as he prepared to plead guilty to burglary charges on Jan. 13.

“We were just trying to work out the proper language in a fashion that everyone could agree upon,” said Eric Sherwood, Pierce-Brewster’s attorney, after they left Onondaga County Criminal Court Wednesday.

Pierce-Brewster and Davon Walls were arrested and charged with burglary and petit larceny last winter after they were accused of stealing a flat-screen television, an Xbox gaming system and games, and two iPods totaling approximately $950 from an apartment on the 400 block of Winding Ridge Road.

Confusion surrounded the previous plea deal when Pierce-Brewster refused to admit that he willingly acted as a “lookout” when Walls entered the residence and took the electronics.

Pierce-Brewster declined to comment after the hearing.

Sherwood said that Pierce-Brewster plans to live “locally” during the interim probation period.

Walls, also an ex-SU defensive lineman, pled guilty to burglary on Dec. 10. Like Pierce-Brewster, Walls will be sentenced to one year of interim probation. If he upholds the agreement, his sentence will also be reduced to a misdemeanor.

“We’re going to cap it at around 10,000, but that would be a home run to get to that number,” Sala said.

The public will have to leave at the end of the morning broadcast and come back for the game, but Sala said students can remain in the

While some companies with the same objective as Study Abroad Apartments charge up to $200 for their services, Blum and his associates charge a $99 fee.

Alyssa Davidson, a junior communication and rhetorical studies major at SU, said the $99 fee was worth it.

The work of Blum and Newman has not gone unnoticed. Study Abroad Apartments has been selected to compete in Cupid’s Cup, a tournament for startup businesses, which is run by the head executives of Under Armour.

Project fuses art with lava

By Alfred Ng asst. feature editor

This isn’t your fifth grade science project volcano.

It’s 800 pounds of lava, more than 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit, made in a furnace and poured out from a container the size of a small bathtub.

The Syracuse University lava project, which started in 2010, creates lava in the Comstock Art Facility by melting dresser trap rocks that are more than a billion years old, said the project’s artist and co-creator, Bob Wysocki.

On Monday morning, Wysocki and Jeff Karson, an earth sciences professor and co-creator of the project, poured out lava onto a mixture of ice and snow near the arts facility, both as an experiment for researchers from Dickinson College and for a filming demonstration for the Weather Channel.

“When we pour it on the ice, it’s spectacular. The lava is over 1,000 degrees centigrade, while the ice is zero degrees,” Karson said. “It

he architecture program at Syracuse University is adding a new dimension to its printing and models — literally.

The school recently added a 3-D printer to the two it already had on campus. The new model is both cheaper and more user-friendly than previous ones, making it much more accessible to students and faculty. 3-D printing is used to make the modeling process a lot easier.

It may not seem like it, but 3-D printers are similar to regular inkjet ones. The biggest difference is that 3-D printers take the image constructed through a digital modeling program and create a physical, three-dimensional object that you can hold in your hands.

Most importantly, 3-D printers allow students to create and experiment with new content, said Anrai Pearson, a third-year architecture student.

“The 3-D printers allow us to expand our formal repertoire so we

can produce more interesting forms,” he said. “(Without the printers,) it’s really difficult to model curvy forms and more complex forms.”

The machine does so by a layering process where it copies the computer model, or CAD file, one level at a time until it has reached the very top.

The program primarily used by SU architecture students is Rhino.

Students create their computer models and send them to Chuck Savage and Andy Molloy, SU’s technical “gurus” for the printers, who operate the devices.

Pearson explained that in order for the printer to operate, the machine has to be able to recognize the file as an object. Pearson said the forms are generated in Rhino, and then turned into a “mesh,” which estimates the intended design shape. That “mesh” must then surround a solid.

Tope Olujobi, a third-year architecture student, said the 3-D printer projects that she has been involved with are focused on precision, which has been the main theme of these machines. The only disadvantage to the printers, she said, is the cost.

“Most of the time, most of the models are expensive to do,” Olujobi said.

Of the other two older models, prices can range from up to $4 per cubic inch to $7.25 per ounce of plastic used. The newest 3-D printer in the architecture program, though, costs about $2 every time a model two to three inches is printed.

Molloy, one of the technical experts with 3-D printers, said the trend is that the machines are getting cheaper and cheaper.

“I wouldn’t be surprised if students end up having them in their dorms, just like inkjet printers,” he said. “If they can make a 3-D model of see 3-d

espite the encroaching threat of the newest polar vortex’s return to Syracuse, N.Y., the Carrier Dome had plenty of heat circulating its interior in the nail-biting game against Pittsburgh last Saturday.

And the hearts of everyone on campus seem to be aflutter, thinking about the next home chelsea matchup, where New York’s favordebaise ite curmudgeon let’s get weir d will face his most worthy opponent in the game, a man who is actually beginning to resemble a blue devil.

With all of this basketball excitement heating up, I can’t help but ask myself — how the hell is Syracuse so highly rated year after year?

makes steam, and as it expands, it does natural glass-blowing and creates these natural clear bubbles of lava, sometimes the size of a softball or a basketball.”

Institutions such as Columbia University, Brown University and NASA have contacted the lava projects at SU and Dickinson, Wysocki said.

Wysocki added that the lava created at SU has the same attributes and behaviors of lava found from volcanoes, a major benefit for those interested in studying the molten material.

“What we’re able to do, it’s highly controlled.

Whereas you go to Iceland or you go some place where there’s an active volcano, there’s just too many variables,” Wysocki said.

This is the closest a Central New Yorker will get to authentic lava, without traveling to a real, live volcano.

“There’s no place else in the world anyone is pouring lava on this scale. This is absolutely a unique thing for Syracuse,” Karson said. “They have an opportunity to see something you’d normally have to go to Hawaii or Iceland to see.

We’re bringing a volcano to Central New York.”

The lava-creating process takes a few hundred pounds of rocks, which takes 24 hours to melt into 800 pounds of lava, Wysocki said. For the demonstration on Monday morning, Wysocki stayed up the entire night before, stirring the lava inside the $2,500 bronze furnace every 20 to 30 minutes. He had only slept for a few hours because he was busy maintaining the lava furnace.

Karson said the project is a strong mixture of both the sciences and the arts, between himself and Wysocki, who is also a professor at SU. Karson added that even though his main focus on the project is on the science angle, the

beauty behind the bright glowing lava at 1,000 degrees Fahrenheit always strikes him.

Wysocki added that lava’s nature was usually very appealing, regardless of who the audience was.

“Everyone has a sense of lava,” he said.

“My five-year-old pre-K son, as well as a postdoctoral student, I think when the lava first pours out, have a very similar experience. As does my 83-year-old mother.”

Wysocki said even though he was on the artistic end of the project, he wanted the lava to be as realistic as possible. He added that he wanted it to resemble a lava field, so that scientists would be able to use his art for research. His goal is to create lava fields in places they don’t belong, such as inside a museum or in a park.

Noah Hausknecht, a research assistant on the project, said at first the project seemed to be more scientific than artistic, but the accuracy of the lava is what makes it art.

Wysocki added that this work is the first of its kind, saying that there’s no prior literature on creating lava fields on this scale.

The project is setting a new precedent in the science field, said Hausknecht a senior sculpture major. He said the lava project is becoming the piece of work that every scientist will be citing.

“Just from doing all these experiments, it’s naturally changed everyone’s thought process,” he said. “Everyone’s understanding of the object itself, that they’re both somewhat one in the same.”

The creators are currently applying for National Science Foundation grants, and hope to expand the project even further with the potential funds.

The team is looking to have a furnace that’ll be able to create 5,000 pounds of lava per hour, and create an exhibit that people would be able to interact with and walk on, Hausknecht said. alng@syr.edu | @alfredwkng

debaise ranked in the Top 25, usually the Top 10, heading into the Big Dance, among big-time teams like Kentucky, Duke, UNC, you name it.

It’s the same cast of characters every year, except there’s one major difference.

These other teams always seem to be full of barely-believable college students, incredible athletes, obviously bound for NBA careers, sleek and tall and destined for greatness. SU’s roster always looks like some kind of ragtag nonsense from an inspirational Disney movie.

For example, let’s line up some of the SU all-stars at the moment against the cast from “Newsies,” a heart-warming tale about a bunch of poor New York City hooligans just trying to fight the power that beats and lowers the prices for newspapers being sold to newspaper delivery boys.

There’s the obvious leader of the pack, the street-smart savvy fella who would later end up playing Batman. Tyler Ennis, here’s looking at you, kid.

He put the team on his back and led the little group of tykes to protest against the big guys. He also gets the romantic angle and gets to hook up with the cute sister of his best friend — keep your fingers crossed, ladies. But, that facial hair on Ennis makes him much more closely resemble Jafar from “Aladdin” than Christian Bale.

And then there is the hardscrabble Irish kid with a heart of gold, who stays out of the spotlight but has some of the best moments of the movie. This one is so obvious it’s almost painful to point it out. Trevor Cooney. Like Gerry McNamara before you, you’ve got a cannon, shooting both into the basket from beyond the arc, but more importantly, into

printers were unbearable as far as smell, he said, adding that people would not want to be in the same room.

Both Pearson and Olujobi said making models by hand is very time consuming and difficult. But there is still a time investment with the printers. Any print job can take from 1-35 hours to complete.

Not only are 3-D printers available for architecture students, but also those in other design fields.

Anthony Rotolo, an iSchool professor who specializes in 3-D printing, said the technology’s effect on industries across campus has been amazing.

“The thing that is unique is that it is offering more physical, real-world possibilities,” Rotolo said. “It gives you a physical prototype to work with.” ctceva@syr.edu

our hearts.

And then there’s that kid with the limp who you want to cheer for but always ends up just getting on your damn nerves. The part you were born to play, DaJuan Coleman. …Too soon?

Now unfortunately in “Newsies,” there is no bespectacled leader of the group, who is so unstoppably negative it’s impossible not to laugh out loud at his obscenity-infused press conferences. But come on, no analogy is ever THAT perfect. (I also think Disney would have had a hard time maintaining a PG rating with a Boeheim impersonator — but oh, the shenanigans he would have gotten into!)

It’s the same thing year after year, and I think this recipe for Syracuse basketball is what keeps fans so loyal.

It’s the same reason, really, why people live in Syracuse at all. Why would you want to live in sunny North Carolina — boring! — when you could live in a city where polar vortexes frequently pass through? Hello, record setting lows.

Why root for a team full of one-and-done superstars when you could root for a team where there’s always a frighteningly high chance that one of our starters is going to foul out and a 5’5” walk-on who seems to have been at SU for an inexplicably long amount of time is going to have to stir up some magic?

It’s an absolute no-brainer. To hell with the NBA gunners: root for the Syracuse Orange.

T

his weekend, international and local tattoo artists are going head to head, toe-to-toe, arm-to-arm — or any other place you might find a tattoo.

From Jan. 24 through Jan. 26, the 28th Annual Am-Jam Tattoo Expo will host the event at the Carrier Circle Best Western. Festivities include more than 20 different tattoo competitions including “Tattoo of the Day” and “Virgin Tattoo.” Sideshow performer and artist, Lizardman, will perform said Jean Aldous, President of the Am-Jam. Aldous said the event is a perfect opportunity to see the true art of tattooing.

“It’s not what it used to be,” she explained.

“Even if you are not into tattooing, the art that

28th annual tattoo expo comes to Syracuse with competitions, exhibitions

is there can be transferred into any medium.

It’s just a sight to see.”

The Am-Jam Tattoo Expo originally started 30 years ago with Aldous’ daughter wanting a tattoo. Aldous said she felt tattooing was popular because it allowed for “self-expression.”

“Each one of them means something to me.

That what most people do. It’s put there for a reason. It’s not just done on a whim,” Aldous said.

The competitions this year will include a brand new category: the non-permanent tattoo. Competitors with henna or sharpie tattoos can also see who has the best design.

Aldous said no other tattoo competition has ever held an event on this scale before. Only those who are 18 or older can get a tattoo, but everyone, including children, is welcome to attend.

“It’s an opportunity for someone to come down and see ink — all different styles of ink.

This is the place to see what is available,” Aldous said. “This is the place to bring your youngsters so that they don’t get it on someone’s kitchen table.”

The event promises a chance to get to know other people, Aldous said. It is common for friendships to be made on the simple question of asking about the inspiration behind their piercings or body ink.

As the tattoo world continues to grow, the intimacy of people bonding with their shared art remains cherished.

Said Aldous: “It’s a gathering of art-minded people and from all walks of life who come to the show, exchange ideas and laugh and it’s nothing to see someone else walk up to someone and meet for the first time, and the conversation begins. ekcrocke@syr.edu

Soul, rock and acoustic driven singer Martin Sexton is bringing his expansive talent back to his hometown this week. He is best known for his albums “Black Sheep,” “The American,” “Wonder Bar” and “Live Wide Open,” which was mixed by John Alagia.

One of his more recent albums, released about six years ago, was “Seeds,” which was Billboard’s Heatseekers No. 6 at the time of release.

Syracuse faceoff specialists prepare for 1st scrimmage

By Jesse Dougherty asst. sports editor

Much of Syracuse’s preparation for the 2014 season has been centered on the last game it played.

Rewind to May 27, 2013. Syracuse holds a 6-5 advantage over Duke at halftime and is two periods away from capturing the 12th NCAA

tournament championship in program history.

But then an old friend crept up on the Orange and spurred an 11-4 Blue Devils run.

The final score read 16-10 in Duke’s favor and faceoffs were the decisive factor.

“We’ve worked on them a ton,” redshirt junior midfielder Henry Schoonmaker said of faceoffs. “Last year that was like our downfall so it’s something we have to figure out.”

The Orange will get its first shot to rectify problems at the X on Saturday, when Le Moyne and Hofstra visit the Carrier Dome for a threeway scrimmage at 10 a.m. SU still hasn’t solidi-

fied its faceoff core, but head coach John Desko named Chris Daddio, Ricky Buhr and junior college transfer Mike Iacono as those who will get faceoff opportunities this weekend.

Cal Paduda missed the previous week of practice with a hand injury and is questionable, but he’s in the mix moving forward. Desko said he will be back soon.

“It was a point of emphasis when we walked off the field after our last game last year,” Desko said. “We’ve been doing it so much in the fall.”

In last year’s national championship, Duke’s Brendan Fowler handcuffed the Orange and pushed the Blue Devils to the title. He took 20 of the game’s 30 total faceoffs and lined up for all but two.

On the other hand, SU tried six different players at the X. On Tuesday, Desko didn’t reveal much, but hinted that Iacono could be a possible answer.

“He’s been very competitive,” Desko said.

“Sometimes it’s a matchup issue where he’s done better than a couple of guys he’s going

miami Saturday at 1 p.m. in Coral Gables, Fla. Miami’s first shot at the Orange came in SU’s first ACC game, but the clash between the one-time Big East rivals felt more fit for the conference of old. Neither team cracked 50 points and the Hurricanes held Syracuse to just 36.2-percent shooting.

“Their matchup is very good,” SU head coach Jim Boeheim said after the Orange’s win against the Hurricanes. “Matchup defense is probably the hardest to play against, especially when you have a lot of length through the whole lineup like they do. It’s very hard to play against.”

The entire league has taken on a decidedly Big East feel. With Syracuse, Pittsburgh and Notre Dame joining Miami, Boston College and Virginia Tech as former Big East teams in the ACC, the entire league has slowed its paced and upped its defensive intensity.

Four of the nation’s top 10 teams in terms of scoring defense reside in the ACC, and seven teams use a zone on at least 10 percent of oppos-

against. He’s been very comfortable coming in and he’s good when he picks it up. He’s probably the best guy we have after he gets the ball, too.”

At 6-foot-5 and 225 pounds Iacono is the biggest guy in the faceoffs mix and is looking to bring new life to the X this season.

“All the faceoff guys are well-rounded athletes,” Iacono said. “For me, I feel like it’s going to be tougher to get a starting spot, but when I do I’ll definitely keep it held down.”

The Orange still has time to solidify the faceoff position, but Saturday’s scrimmage is one of the final chances leading up to the team’s season-opening game against Siena on Feb. 10.

Figuring out the X is on everyone’s agenda, and Iacono assessed the coming season by breaking the game into two spheres.

“Lacrosse is all about X play and goalies.

Everybody knows that,” Iacono said. “If you don’t have a good X man, you’re never going to get the ball to score. That’s what it comes down to.” jcdoug01@syr.edu | @dougherty_jesse

ing possessions. Last season, only Virginia was one of the top 10 teams in terms of scoring defense and Virginia Tech was the only team to run a zone on at least 10 percent of opposing possessions.

Whether it’s a coincidence or not, the changes have directly coincided with the Orange’s arrival to the conference. Syracuse rode its signature 2-3 zone to the Final Four last season and ranked 20th in scoring defense.

“I think everybody knows what the opponent is doing,” Larranaga said. “If you watch them on

tape and you scout them thoroughly enough, you can see what they do. The difference is who they have doing it and how well they do it.

“In Syracuse’s regard, they do it the best in the country.”

The Hurricanes follow some of SU’s principles and it has landed them as one of the top 10 defensive teams in the nation. They use some 2-3, but also a 1-2-2 while slowing pace to keep them competitive in every game. Only two of their seven losses have come by more than 10 points.

“You have to pick your spots a little bit more,” Syracuse guard Tyler Ennis said after the first game against Miami. “It took a while to get going in the second half and we are just happy that we pulled it out.”

Perhaps the best performance of the season for the Hurricanes came on that day inside the Carrier Dome.

For most of the game, their simple methods worked to perfection. They played tight defense and stopped the Orange from getting out and running. There are no solutions to speeding up a game — “It’s impossible to do,” Boeheim said. So as long as Miami continues its strong defense, it can give SU another scare.

“I think we made a great job,” Hurricane guard Manu Lecomte said. “We played great for 35 minutes and for the last five minutes they took over.

“We stay positive. We know we can beat this team.” dbwilson@syr.edu | @DBWilson2

lecomte outburst in a 56-42 Miami (Fla.) win over Georgia Tech on Saturday. And he brings that increased confidence into the Hurricanes’ rematch with Syracuse on Saturday at 1 p.m.

“When I play against other freshman, I just want to prove I’m better,” Lecomte said. “… I know (Ennis is) a great point guard.”

But for all the praise Ennis gets as a mature freshman, Lecomte brings similar poise and experience. He played professionally in Belgium and captained the under-20 national team at just 17-years-old last summer.

His 5-foot-11, 159-pound frame and youthful facial features are deceptive and his decision-making is reflective of that — especially late in games. ”I’ve honestly learned to trust in him and know that he’s going to make the right decisions,” senior guard Rion Brown said. “As he was telling me earlier today, he’s been getting me a lot of buckets lately. So I can’t complain.”

At the start, though, ACC-style basketball was an adjustment for Lecomte. He was accustomed to slower, half-court sets and craftier, more finesse-driven players. He was very passive, Brown said, and seemed like he didn’t know what to expect at times.

Probably because he didn’t. Lecomte said the only American basketball he watched was on YouTube, primarily Duke and North Carolina highlights.

He never watched ESPN and even when he did get to see the Tar Heels firsthand earlier this season, their signature fast break offense — even off a made basket — shocked him.

“That was crazy,” Lecomte said.

But with each game he grows more comfortable. After Lecomte lost the starting spot six

games into the season — he stumbled through a two-game stretch in which he shot 2-for-12 for only five points and recorded five turnovers to two assists — he bounced back in conference play.

He continues to speed his game up and it’s been enough to earn his starting spot back for the Hurricanes.

Brown said he sees Lecomte’s aggression improve every day in practice, and compared his late-game composure to that of Shane Larkin, who led Miami to the Sweet 16 last season

I’m only 18. But like Coach said, ‘It don’t matter if you’re a freshman or a senior, you’ve got to play your game.”’

and now plays for the Dallas Mavericks.

Hurricanes head coach Jim Larranaga joked that the freshman now has more trouble figuring out how to handle the media than run the offense.

“He’s gotten his feet wet,” Larranaga said.

“He’s pretty much indoctrinated into the college game.”

Lecomte said he’s excited for a second chance to match up with Ennis. And this time he’s starting.

The Hurricanes gave the Orange a scare in its first conference game, and an improved Lecomte could put Miami over the edge.

Said Lecomte: “I know I’m a freshman.

Fair, Ennis named to Wooden Award midseason watch list

By David Wilson staff writer

C.J. Fair and Tyler Ennis are among the 25 players that have been named to the John R. Wooden Award’s midseason watch list.

Syracuse is one of just four teams with two players on the watch list, joining Arizona, Michigan State and Duke.

Fair, who was the Orange’s only player on the 50-man preseason watch list, leads SU with 16.8 points per game and ranks second with 5.8 rebounds.

Ennis wasn’t one of the nine freshmen on the

preseason watch list, but is now one of five rookies on the midseason list. He leads Syracuse with 5.5 assists per game and is averaging 11.9 points.

Four forwards — Duke’s Jabari Parker, Arizona’s Aaron Gordon, Kansas’ Andrew Wiggins and Kentucky’s Julius Randle — are the other four freshmen on the watch list.

The Atlantic Coast Conference has a total of five candidates — the most of any conference.

The official ballot will be made up of about 20 players, many of who may not be featured on the midseason watch list. dbwilson@syr.edu | @DBWilson2

Syracuse prepares to attack Miami’s stout 1-2-2 zone in rematch

staff writer

Syracuse’s 2014 Atlantic Coast Conference season will begin with a Friday night home game against Louisville on Oct. 3 before a game against defending national champion Florida State in the Carrier Dome on Oct. 11.

The conference announced its full schedule Wednesday, completing the Orange’s 2014 slate. SU released its nonconference schedule in October.

Syracuse will follow up its ACC season-opening home games with road trips to Wake Forest and Clemson on Oct. 18 and 25, respectively.

The Orange then returns home to face North Carolina State on Nov. 1 and defending Coastal Division champion Duke on Nov. 8 before heading into its bye week.

SU finishes the season at Pittsburgh on Nov. 22 and at Boston College on Nov. 29.

Syracuse’s nonconference schedule consists of a season opener in the Dome against Villanova on Aug. 30, a trip to Central Michigan on Sept.

13, a home date against Maryland on Sept. 20 and a game against Notre Dame in East Rutherford, N.J., for the New York’s College Classic on Sept. 27. The Orange will have its first bye week after its season-opener against the Wildcats.

In total, SU will face eight teams that qualified for a bowl game this past season, including five at home, and five that finished in the Associated Press Top 25 poll last season.

im Larranaga sees what works and the Miami head coach is doing everything he can to embrace the zone defense.

Syracuse provides the template for the defense whose popularity is soaring — all but four Atlantic Coast Conference teams are using it more this season — so Larranaga went right to the source.

Earlier this season, the Hurricanes’ head coach crossed paths with former SU assistant coach Bernie Fine at a luncheon. He told him that his staff was working on using the zone defense more and trying to improve its zone offense.

Fine came by his office at 10 a.m. one day. They spent two hours together watching film and then Larranaga took Fine out to lunch.

“It’s just nice to have a discussion with some-

ZONED IN Five Atlantic Coast Conference programs rank among the nation’s best in scoring defense. Two of them, Miami and Syracuse, play zone as a primary defense, while Clemson has begun mixing it in. Here’s a look at how the ACC teams stack up nationally in scoring defense: school

one with so much familiarity,” Larranaga said during the Atlantic Coast Conference coaches’ teleconference Monday. “It’s not like there are any secrets in basketball.”

It was a simple meeting, but has helped Miami (Fla.) put together the fourth best defense in the conference while using the zone 54 percent of the time going into Wednesday — up 51 percent from last season. The Hurricanes (10-8, 2-4 ACC) nearly upset the Orange (18-0, 5-0) on Jan. 4 and will get a second shot at taking down the No. 2 team in the country when they host Syracuse on see miami page 14

“He’s a good player,” Syracuse head coach Jim Boeheim said. “He handles the ball. He looks for people. He’s scoring now.”

But he’s not Tyler Ennis. And he doesn’t play for Syracuse.

Miami’s 18-year-old Belgian import Manu Lecomte has surged onto the Atlantic Coast Conference scene with a strong three-game stretch that coincides with his return to the starting lineup. In the Hurricanes’ near upset of the No.
