Warehouse closes due to gas leak Building to open Wednesday after National Grid repairs gas line

By Ellen Meyers asst. news editor

The Nancy Cantor Warehouse closed at 8 p.m. Monday for repairs to an exterior gas line.

Wendy Ladd, a spokeswoman from National Grid, said the company received a call around 2:30 p.m concerning a gas odor in the building. A crew from the company responded to the scene and cleared out the Warehouse.

She said National Grid will make repairs tonight and tomorrow morning. No injuries were reported.

Classes scheduled during the hours the building is closed are canceled and all offices, studios and galleries will also be closed, according to a Syracuse University release.

How Jim Boeheim became the master of the 2-3 zone

By Stephen Bailey sports editor

J

im Boeheim stands by the Carrier Dome court and shrugs off question after question as he watches his players warm up before practice.

The questions are the same ones he’s been asked over and over again — the same ones he’s downplayed for years.

The longtime Syracuse icon stretches his lips and tilts his head, continuing to understate everything about the 2-3

zone that one former Big East head coach called one of the greatest weapons in the history of the sport.

“The zone is like the Mariano Rivera cutter,” said ESPN analyst Fran Fraschilla, a former St. John’s head coach.

“Mariano will throw the cutter 3-2, two outs in the ninth, and that’s how Jim’s zone is. If man-to-man is a fastball, normal zones are curveballs, Jim’s zone is the Mariano Rivera cutter, nearly impossible to hit.

“You may break a bat on Jim’s zone on occasion but you’re not hitting grand slams on it.”

Boeheim has been studying the 2-3 zone defense for 52 years to be exact — longer than about 70 percent of the American population has been alive. There may be no icon in sports history more closely associated with a singular tactical operation.

And yet there was no eye-opening moment of enlighten SEE PAGE 18

Common Core alters teaching

By Jacob Pramuk asst. news editor

As New York state continues to implement changes to public education standards under the Common Core State Standards Initiative, the Syracuse University School of Education is training its education majors to teach under the new curriculum.

Faculty has tailored upper-level teaching courses to educate students under the common core curriculum.

While certain courses have changed to fit the Common Core Standards, teaching the new standards may not affect new teachers as drastically as those already employed.

“They haven’t taught before because they’re new,” said George Theoharis, an associate professor in the School of Education. “Sometimes these sorts of changes are not see common

TATTOO tuesday | jess laurello

Senior uses phrases as tattoo inspirations

By Naomi Falk staff writer

If you look at one of Jess Laurello’s tattoos, you have to look at all eight of them. It’s rare to find someone whose pieces have a recurring theme.

Laurello, a senior advertising major, played with the pattern of experimenting with typography on her body.

“I think the process of getting these tattoos led me to being a copy writer,” Laurello said.

Having started her collection just after she turned eighteen, Laurello’s tattoos have a variety of fonts and styles, and all of them are located on her back and sides.

Quotes such as “fail harder,” “pursuing happiness” and “all who wander are not lost” make up part of the large collection.

She received her most recent piece under quite special circumstances. It was two a.m. when she decided to ask her cousin, Michael, to ink her right in his own home — something most people don’t decide to do on a whim.

“He was like, ‘yeah, sure, I

haven’t done one in a few months,’” Laurello said.

Though, since he was an experienced tattoo artist, she felt comfortable moving forward with the process.

The piece, which Michael originally wanted to put on Laurello’s ribs in a much larger size, rests on the middle of her back. It recites a famous line of text from Lewis Carroll’s “Alice in Wonderland.” In the shape of a spade in the middle of her back, it says, “We’re all mad here.”

“It kind of goes with the people I surround myself with in my field,” she said.

The process took three hours, which Laurello thinks was because Michael hadn’t done a tattoo in a while. But she has nothing negative to say about the piece. In fact, Laurello said it’s her favorite because her cousin did it.

She has plans to fill the rest of her back, and eventually she might bring all of the pieces together in the shape of a mountain.

Said Laurello: “Your life is a story.

Why wouldn’t you try something like getting a tattoo?” ncfalk@syr.edu

Obama task force raises awareness for sexual assault on campus

I

magine your five closest female friends — maybe the girls you share a dorm with or the girls you text to grab lunch before a long afternoon of classes. Now imagine that by the time you all don mortarboard caps at graduation, one of these college women will have been sexually assaulted.

One out of five women is sexually assaulted before graduating college, according to a White House report released last Wednesday. Some will be assaulted in the touted “best four years of their lives.” But according to Janet Epstein, the director Syracuse University’s Advocacy Center, some will be assaulted long before their freshman orientations.

In an effort to address these types of alarming statistics, President Barack Obama launched the White House Task Force to Protect Students from Sexual Assault last week.

Among the objectives, the task force will educate schools on the best practices to prevent rape and sexual assault and find ways to hold institutions accountable if they fail to confront sexual violence on campus.

NICKI GORNY

THAT’S WHAT SHE SAID

Women on college campuses are a particular focus of government efforts because “the dynamics of college life appear to fuel the problem,” according to the related White House report entitled “Rape and sexual assault: A renewed call to action.” The report additionally notes that “incapacitated assault,” or sexual assault that takes place while a victim is under the influence of alcohol or drugs, plays a particularly influential role on college campuses.

The task force serves as a positive step toward ameliorating an issue that is too often belittled or blamed on the victim. With the weight and influence of the POTUS behind efforts to address campus sexual assault, writing off the rape of a student as an effect of her carelessly high BAC will not be so easy.

While college students should never be encouraged to partake in careless behavior,

their careless behavior should never be accepted as an excuse for sexual assault.

At SU, where a stereotypically collegiate atmosphere translates to a top-10 ranking on the latest Princeton Review “party school” list, Epstein said there’s no reason to believe that these problems don’t exist here.

Epstein also said she believes the number of national victims who report their crimes is even lower than the 12 percent approximation rate established in the White House report.

Epstein said she’s read studies that set the rate as low as five percent.

Sometimes victims don’t report because they don’t consider their experience sexual assault, Epstein said. Other times, victims fear being blamed for their own rape because they were intoxicated.

“A lot of it has to do with how we look at this crime as a society and the fact that we don’t acknowledge it as a crime,” Epstein said. “It is never the fault of the person who is victimized.”

Changing the culture around sexual

assault is critical to sparking a change. We must create a dialogue regarding consent and assault, including what third-party bystanders can do day-to-day to challenge an environment that enables perpetrators by blaming victims.

Epstein noted that SU is working to change this culture through mandatory programs for first-year students that educate them about sexual violence. These include “Everyday Heroes,” which introduces key issues and encourages a respectful campus, and the online “Think About It” program, which replaced Alcohol.Edu this fall and expanded the former’s focus to include sexual and relationship violence.

A task force and bureaucratic mandates may or may not be effective in lowering the percentage of women who deal with sexual assault before graduating college. But the presidential power behind them will go a long way towards advancing the conversation.

Gates’ prediction can come true with more US aid to poor countries

“

By 2035, there will be almost no poor countries left in the world.”

This claim, made by Bill Gates, founder of Microsoft and renowned philanthropist, is the highlight of the Bill and

Melinda Gates Foundation’s annual letter. At first, the claim seems overly-optimistic at best and downright far-fetched at worst. However, Gates has a plan that is perfectly sound on every level.

CHRIS PIEMONTE

LEFT FOR THE LADIES

Throughout the letter, Gates and his wife dispel myths commonly associated with impoverished countries. They focus on three in particular and use statistics, documented results and simple logic to debunk them. From a liberal standpoint, the most important argument Gates makes is that foreign aid is not a waste of funds.

Gates said U.S. citizens believe that around 25 percent of the current United States budget goes to foreign aid. The same poll shows Americans feel the percentage should be reduced to around 10 percent. The reality is the percentage of the budget dedicated to foreign aid is less than one percent.

This is unacceptably low and needs to be increased.

It’s been a longstanding doctrine of liberal politics to better the world by improving conditions for all who live in it. We have recently seen an uptick in this movement within United States. Poverty programs have moved to the forefront of American politics and candidates have won or lost significant support in elections based on their plans for the poor.

Gates is challenging the developed nations of the world, especially the United States, to take a more aggressive approach to eradicating poverty worldwide. At one point in the letter, Gates goes so far as to call on the United

Nations to address the poverty problem. “If this vision is reflected in the next round of the United Nations’ Millennium Development Goals,” he said, “it will help get everyone working on this milestone.”

In an interview with CBS, Gates was asked how he can claim the world is “better than it has ever been” when recent studies show that 85 people in the world own as much wealth as 50 percent of the population. Gates said he can make claim because of decreasing infant mortality rates and increasing life expectancies on a global scale.

The picture that Gates paints is of a world that seems too good to be true. But if developed nations like the United States place more of an emphasis on foreign aid initiatives, Gates’ prediction may well come true.

Foreign aid is crucial to developing nations and as Gates points out, there is a common misconception that this aid is ineffective.

Because many do not recognize the importance of foreign aid, public officials sometimes justify cutting back on spending.

The reality is that every dime spent in support of developing nations does more to further global economic growth than could possibly be calculated. With election season looming, one can only hope that public officials see the truth in Gates’ words, heed his advice and stop pretending that global poverty can’t be helped. We have the means to eliminate it; all we have to do now is act.

Purpose of greek recruitment fee should be explained for benefit of students The governing councils of greek life at Syracuse University should be more transparent about how they use the money students are required to pay to participate in recruitment.

Transparency will help students better understand the reason behind these fees when considering whether they want to consider becoming a part of greek life.

Female students rushing sororities and male students rushing fraternities are all required to pay a fee to participate in recruitment.

Monday marked the end of sorority rush. The process required that each woman pay $50 to the Panhellenic Council to participate in recruitment, which entails meeting with the sisters of each house and learning about their respective sororities.

The recruitment fee is unique in that most other student organizations on campus do not require that students pay a fee to learn about the organization when they are still considering whether they are interested in joining. Though many

students are likely not concerned by these fees, students who are unsure of whether they are interested in becoming a part of greek life may be dissuaded by fees that are not explained.

This problem could be avoided with more transparency.

While governing bodies like the Interfraternity Council and Panhellenic Council are not required to share this information with prospective members, if this information is readily available to students,

it will better explain why the fees are necessary and could assist students in making their decision on whether to rush.

Though recruitment is accessible to all students, not all participants are guaranteed to receive a bid from their desired sorority or fraternity. Some participants end up rejecting their bids or dropping from recruitment partway through the process. Given this uncertainty, it is understandable that students might feel apprehensive about

investing in an organization they may not be a part of in the long term.

If students were more aware of where these fees are going, it could alleviate some of these concerns.

The various greek councils may have justifiable reasons for charging students to participate in recruitment, but these reasons will not be apparent to prospective members until they are explained. Providing this explanation can only help the greek community open its doors to more students.

Gresely addresses uniforms for DPS, sponsoring Mayfest

By Jessica Iannetta staff writer

The university has formed a committee to explore upgrades to Department of Public Safety officer uniforms that would make them more recognizable to students, said Student Association President Boris Gresely at the organization’s meeting Monday night.

The upgrades are being discussed in light of fights that broke out at the Schine Student Center last spring during a dance party organized by the National Association of Latino Fraternal Organizations and the National Panhellenic Council. The Syracuse Police Department was called in to assist DPS in breaking up the fights and eight students were eventually arrested in connection with the incident.

DPS later received a complaint about an officer using excessive force but because of the similarities between DPS and SPD uniforms, the university was unable to determine whether the incident in question involved a DPS or a SPD officer, Gresely said.

“The university now is looking at whether students can identify the difference between Syracuse Police Department and DPS, so they’re trying to adapt this uniform change so that students can actually identify the difference,” he said.

The uniform upgrades would cost about $19,000 and include a vest that says DPS on

staying on track The Board of Elections and Memberships introduced a new form at Monday’s meeting that would help keep track of initiatives members are working on and what initiatives they plan to pursue in the future, said Amanda DeNardo, a BEM member who introduced the form. The form, called the Officer Initiative Monthly Update, will be implemented on a trial basis in February. Once it’s fully implemented in March, members will receive two demerits for handing in the form late, she said.

“Basically what this does is that it facilitates the work you’re doing so we can make sure you’re getting the assistance you need,” DeNardo told the members. the back and a new patch that would appear on each shoulder and on the front of the uniform, Gresely said. He added that the funds would come from the DPS operating budget.

Gresely noted that SPD and DPS have different powers and functions. He added that an effort should be made to ensure students understand the difference. SA Vice President Daniela Lopez will serve on the committee that is exploring this change, he said.

Also during his president’s report, Gresely

said that SA will not sponsor this year’s Mayfest. The Mayfest committee asked SA to step down as a sponsor because SA has not contributed much to Mayfest recently, Gresely said.

In an interview after the meeting, Gresely said that SA’s changing role in Mayfest is in line with how SA has evolved as an organization. When SA first started Mayfest, SA was a programming board, but that is no longer the case, he said.

“But what SA will do and will continue to do is to make sure that Mayfest continues and to make sure Mayfest is being planned successfully,” Gresely said. “So we will be present in this meeting, we just won’t necessarily be a sponsor.”

Former SA Vice President Duane Ford also presented six bills that would reform election campaign rules. Although Ford is not an SA representative, any SU student can bring bills before the assembly.

The bills are as follows: • A bill that would require all members of a

candidate’s campaign team to abide by the SA code of ethics, regardless of whether they are a member of SA or not.

• A bill that would split half of the SA public relations budget between the candidates running for office. Each campaign would receive up to $1,000 in funding. If the amount when split among the campaigns is less than $1,000 each, candidates can subsidize the remaining amount with their own funds as long as they do not exceed $1,000 in total.

• A bill that would forbid candidates from using academic listservs to campaign and from campaigning in residence halls during election week.

• A bill that would give the Board of Elections and Memberships the power to designate a moderator for election debates.

• A bill that would require the BEM to review any campaign that has five election violations to determine if their violations could influence the outcome of the election. At the beginning of each campaign, candidates put down a $50 deposit to cover campaign violations. Each violation is a $10 fine.

• A bill that states if an SA candidate enters the office with any visible campaign advertisements, the candidate would be fined $10.

Previously, if a candidate committed this violation, SA codes stipulated that the candidate be removed from the ballot.

The bills will be voted on and further discussed at a future meeting.

Additional business discussed: • Following a discussion, the assembly voted to keep home college committees as part of SA by-laws. These committees are made up of everyone in the assembly who are from one college and meet at least once a month to address issues that are of particular importance to that specific college.

• Gresely met with GSO President Patrick Neary to discuss whether the grants the GSO gives to graduate students for research could be replicated at the undergraduate level. They also discussed GSO partnering with SA to run the buses to Target and Wegman’s.

Kappa Kappa Gamma members race out of Schine to their house on Comstock Avenue. The house is one of 12 sororities on Syracuse University’s campus. Delta Phi Epsilon was added to the council this year and it began recruiting in October. margaret lin asst. photo editor

more studying fashion design and a Phi Sigma Sigma member. “It’s kind of a bummer.”

When the event occurred earlier in the day, it created more safety concerns because a number of students were leaving Schine during rush hour traffic, said Scot Vanderpool, manager of Parking and Transit Services.

To accommodate for this, University Place was closed from 5:30-8 p.m. on Monday.

The Office of Fraternity and Sorority Affairs requested the closure, but could not be reached for comment on the decision.

Summers said another one of the downsides to the bid process being held at night was that it felt “ten times colder.” Despite the drop in temperature, Summers and her sisters did not lack enthusiasm when welcoming their new members outside of Schine dressed in leis, feather boas, knee socks and tutus.

Summers said during recruitment her

it felt amazing to be included in the sisterhood of her top choice sorority.

Adesanya said she chose Kappa Kappa Gamma because “everyone in the house is so unique and welcoming.” She added that the rushing process was a little nerve-wracking, but she said all of the houses were friendly and inviting.

In the next six weeks, each chapter will host scholarship, philanthropy and social activities, in order to help sisters get to know each other and bond with the other women in their new member class, according to the recruitment guide.

This time will also be an education period for new members to learn about the history of their chapter, the national organization and other fraternity and sorority organizations at SU. On Bid Night though, it was one big celebration and a rush of emotions as recruits officially became new members.

bid night Jan. 17, and continued as newcomers attended four rounds of recruitment in which they toured houses and learned about the sororities and their respective philanthropy work, according to an SU PC recruitment guide.

For many, Bid Night becomes the moment when the time and financial commitments finally begin to pay off. New members to sororities often pay higher dues which can range between $105-885 per semester. These dues will vary based upon the house they join, according to the website of the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Affairs.

Newcomers chose their top three houses and received a bid from one out of the 12 sororities — one of which, Delta Phi Epsilon, was added to the council this year, and began recruiting in October. DPhiE replaced Alpha Chi Omega, which left SU in January of 2011.

“I didn’t get my first choice. It’s a little disappointing, but it’s fine. I’m still excited,” Panza said before she ran to catch up with the other new members in her sorority.

Outside of the Alpha Phi sorority house, members stood in the cold, dancing with silver balloons and waiting for their new sisters to arrive on University Avenue.

Amanda Day, a junior broadcast and digital journalism major and a member of Alpha Phi, said the past two weeks of recruitment have been worth the hard work.

“There have been long days, but they’re the most fun and exciting,” Day said. “This is such a live time of the year.”

The event was held on Monday, which is a change from previous years, when Bid Day typically occurred on Sunday. Day said when Bid Day was held on Sunday afternoon, sororities hosted more activities to welcome new members, but Bid Night was held for the women to open their bid invitations and meet their sisters.

“Unfortunately, we have to wait until next weekend to hold our activities and really get to know the girls,” said Alex Summers, a sopho-

bilas game, is there anything in particular about the matchup that jumps out to you?

Bilas: I think the wings of Duke are going to be a challenge for Syracuse because one of the things that’s most debilitating to any zone, Syracuse’s included, is dribble penetration.

Duke does a good job of getting into the gaps of a zone on the bounce and they’ve got some good shooters. They’ve been doing a better job getting offensive rebounds of late. They’ve got guys who can make a play so you’ve got to guard them.

The D.O.: Are there any specific weaknesses for either team to attack?

Bilas: You have to attack the lane with Duke.

They’re improving defensively but it’s still not a great defensive team. I think you can rebound on them — they’re not a great rebounding team. I think it’s going to be where rebounding and Syracuse’s ability to protect the paint is going to be an important factor.

The D.O.: Will the focus of the game be on freshmen or will it come down to other guys?

Bilas: It’s always going to come down to other guys. Ennis has been an important factor. He’s probably been the freshman who’s played best and been most consistent all season long. But he’s got a lot of older players around him, and that’s been helpful. We’ll focus on that because they’re Ennis and [Jabari] Parker because they’re really good players. But it might come down to a guy like Jerami Grant who’s played great. Or C.J. Fair who’s probably the best senior on the floor.

The D.O.: There’s a level of familiarity between Jim Boeheim and Mike Krzyzewski.

Will that play any role in the game?

from page 1

Bilas: They know each other and know each other’s tendencies as coaches, but I think they’ll have their players prepared for the game and just coach and deal with the game as it comes. But they are great friends and that’s a really nice thing. They’re the two guys who have been at it at the highest level the longest and are still at it. They’ve both been great on the court and off and been great for USA Basketball.

The D.O.: Are you surprised by Syracuse’s success during its first year in the ACC? Bilas: I’m not surprised, I thought they’d be one of the top three teams in the ACC. I didn’t expect this team being undefeated to this point. They’ve had a lot of key moments like Ennis’ drives against Pittsburgh. They’ve been down in games and tied like against Miami and have been really impressive down the stretch of games.

The D.O.: Do you think SU vs. Duke is a matchup of the top two ACC teams?

Bilas: I think Pittsburgh has been better (than Duke). I think Duke is really good and is getting better but I think Pittsburgh has been the second best team in the ACC and could get even better.

The D.O.: What kind of atmosphere are you expecting at the Dome, and what role does that play in the game?

Bilas: It’s always a great atmosphere there.

It’s one of the great venues in college basketball. I know it’ll be great, and it’ll be loud and it’ll be hard to deal with for any opponent.

You’ll have over 30,000 people, so it’ll be a terrific place. That’s always one of my favorite places to go. blsamuel@syr.edu

Syracuse businesses make preparations for Duke game

By Caroline Strange staff writer

Fans of the Orange have been spending some green to support their basketball team.

Saturday’s Syracuse University versus Duke University match-up could possibly break the national attendance record for a regular season college basketball game, which means local stores are preparing for an influx of customers.

Bill Nester, manager at Manny’s, said he would compensate for the rush by adding more people to work toward the end of the week. He said he would also have them work through Sunday or Monday.

So far the “Beat Duke”Tt-shirt has been one of their best selling items. Nester said he thinks it will sell out entirely — especially if the Orange remains undefeated after the Wake Forest game this Wednesday.

Another shirt features the phrase “Beat Syracuse” — but the words are boldly crossed out and “That’s Impossible” is printed directly underneath.

As for game day, Nester said he thinks SU will break the attendance record like the games against Villanova in 2010 and 2011, and the game last year against Georgetown. This will mean more people to sell to and thus, greater sales, he said.

“Basketball is tremendous for business,” Nester said.

Nester has noticed that Manny’s draws buyers — like alumni and sometimes people that are unaffiliated to the university — to buy “anything and everything.”

“People will buy anything they can get their hands on,” Nester said.

He said last week people were in buying tank tops despite the cold, demonstrating that it is impossible to gauge what people will buy.

The SU Bookstore has been preparing for the Duke game since before Thanksgiving, said Gale Youmell, the division merchandise manager.

The bookstore added a special edition shirt to its lineup which reads “ACC: All ‘Cuse Conference,” which Youmell is hoping will sell out throughout the season.

The bookstore plans to have extra employees on staff for the upcoming weekend — nearly doubling the number of associates in the apparel section. The bookstore will also have extended hours on Saturday for the game, when they will be open from 10 a.m. until 6:30 p.m.

Youmell said the bookstore is hoping to draw in some of the attendees at the Ultimate SU Tailgate in Goldstein Auditorium. She said not only SU students have bought from the bookstore but that they have also seen sales from alumni and online buyers.

Youmell said she looks at the sales of each day to plan the rest of the week, in case she needs to put more merchandise on order.

Overall, she said the campus clothing stores complement each other with their creative T-shirt designs and Syracuse-related items that they sell.

“I love the atmosphere,” Youmell said. “We love the atmosphere.” cstrange@syr.edu

common core necessarily that threatening for brand new teachers because they’re learning how to teach.”

The Common Core Standards, which New York state adopted in July 2010, have gradually taken effect since the 2011-2012 school year, according to an EngageNY timeline.

Sometimes these sorts of changes are not necessarily that threatening for brand new teachers because they’re learning how to teach.”

George Theoharis associate professor in the school of education

Changes in kindergarten to 12th grade public education range from encouraging more critical engagement with textbooks and stressing more rigorous course loads in multiple subject areas. Forty-five states have adopted the standards so far.

The New York state Education Department provides schools with modules to help implement the standards. Modules that detail the application of spring 2014 reforms should be available to schools in February, according to EngageNY. The SU School of Education curriculum aims to ease the Common Core transition, which has proven difficult for many active teachers.

“They’re out in the field with some really unhappy teachers,” said Kelly Chandler-Olcott, chair of School of Education’s Reading and Language Arts Center, of the student teachers.

Teaching under the Common Core poses a challenge because much of the content is structured differently from when the teachers went through school, Theoharis said. The

Common Core accelerates students’ coursework, sometimes to the point of learning topics years earlier than under the old standards.

Some teachers feel the Common Core is a stark change from the traditional curriculum, Chandler-Olcott said. But current SU education students have the benefit of learning teaching strategies in a Common Core context.

“Our students are learning about the Common Core as they learn about instructional approaches and classroom management strategies,” Joanna Masingila, interim-dean designate of the School of Education, said. “All of these things are new to novice teachers.”

Michael Collins, a senior selective studies and history major, came into the School of Education planning to teach in a traditional classroom setting. After taking multiple classes in teaching methods under the Common Core, he entered the more specialized selective studies major, aiming to work one-on-one with children with disabilities, he said.

While he doesn’t agree with many Common Core standards, including a continued emphasis on testing, Collins said the School of Education classes covered the Common Core well. Collins understood the Common Core’s characteristics while continuing to critique its merits, he said.

In preparing students to teach under the Common Core standards, education faculty encourage critical thinking, even when it comes to the standards themselves, ChandlerOlcott said. Though she encourages students to use available Common Core resources to familiarize themselves, Chandler-Olcott doesn’t want students to “drink the Kool-Aid.” Preparing education students to teach a curriculum different from the one they learned remains a priority for educating teachers, she said.

Chandler-Olcott said to avoid feeling undermined by the Common Core like many current teachers, students need to learn what they’re teaching before entering the workforce.

Said Chandler-Olcott: “You can’t teach skills that you don’t have yourself.” jspramuk@syr.edu

Rooting for business Student T-shirt startup works with local stores to boost sales

By Alfred Ng asst. feature editor

L

ocal businesses in Syracuse are finding another way to promote their companies: by putting them on T-shirts.

Root Goods, a T-shirt company started in 2012, is using its artistic talents to help boost other businesses in Syracuse.

The company, founded by Dan Mabie and Travis Adenau, two Syracuse University students, has previously partnered with Voltage Video Games in downtown Syracuse, and, most recently, Café Kubal’s University Avenue location.

The partnership began when Rob Petrie, an architecture professor, recommended Mabie, a senior architecture student, to Matt Godard, Café Kubal’s owner.

Mabie reached out to Petrie with an interest in connecting with local businesses, creating a mutually beneficial relationship by promoting a business with its T-shirts, and vice versa.

“If Root Goods can provide a better product that’s local and keep the money local and invest the money bigger, it’s kind of like Kickstarter 1.0,” he said. “Everybody pitches in on a root level instead of a global level.”

Petrie said there is a community within Syracuse businesses, one that is trying to support each other and build one another up.

Godard said the T-shirt was part of an effort to be more creative with Café Kubal’s products, which started in Syracuse. He added that his company ordered about 100 T-shirts, with 30 to 40 shirts that have already been sold.

The design is an artistic rendition of Café Kubal’s items, including its coffees, teas, espressos and lattes, painted in a watercolor style. The planning process began in September, with Café Kubal rolling out the final product by December.

“We’re just very supportive of startups in Syracuse of any sort,” Godard said. “We’ve done various things to try to promote other

businesses through our business.”

He added that he plans on ordering more shirts and requesting more designs from Root Goods in the future, once the weather becomes warmer.

Back in August, Root Goods partnered with Voltage Video Games, a new and used gaming business in downtown Syracuse. The store was Root

Goods’ first client, said Mike Saltzman, the business’s manager. The two were speaking when Adenau mentioned he had a clothing company.

Adenau and Mabie immediately started working on a shirt for Voltage Games, eager to partner with a local business. For Voltage Games, Saltzman said it

tudy abroad, as I’m learning, isn’t a solo endeavor.

For me — and, I’m guessing, almost every study abroad student out there — the past week meant a return to reality as our traveling ended and our classes began.

And everyone needed a buddy to get through it.

MAGGIE Between ten CREGAN days of travel and FOOTLOOSE nearly a week of AND FANCY class-free oriFREE IN entation time in FRANCE Strasbourg, I’ve been firmly in vacation mode ever since I left ‘Cuse in December. Even after arriving in the city, thinking about classes took a lower priority than getting to know my host family and exploring the city’s restaurants and nightlife.

But last Monday brought a decisive end to my “no worries” way of life and reintroduced the word “study” into “study abroad.”

My semester at the University of Strasbourg began with a two-hour medieval history lecture that was taught entirely in French — not a very auspicious beginning. Try as I might to understand, more than half of the professor’s words went over my head. Unlike in the conversational French I’d been practicing, there was no asking him to rephrase and I couldn’t understand anything from his body language.

The more the professor talked, the less I understood, until I may or may not have fallen asleep. Upon waking up from my mini-siesta, I panicked.

What was I doing? If I could barely understand what homework was assigned at the end of class, did I stand much chance of being able to complete it?

But after some internal pep talks and espresso, I was able to find my classes the next day more encouraging. Rather than trying to follow every turn of phrase, I jotted down keywords. I asked professors about the assignments and made sure to caffeinate before my next 9 a.m. history lecture.

As I was trying to cope with the language barrier, I began noticing some less obvious challenges to taking classes in a foreign language.

One unexpected obstacle was see cregan page 16

Young the Giant’s second album shows potential, remains forgetful with generic lyrics

By Jessica Cabe staff writer

W

e’ve been hearing that rock ‘n’ roll is dead for decades, but really the genre is just ever-changing. The thing is, music is easier to define in retrospect.

The ’80s had heavy metal, the ’90s had grunge, but it’s difficult to pin down what rock and roll means for the 2000s.

One band that’s trying to be a part of that conversation is Young the Giant. The California natives released their sophomore album, “Mind Over Matter,” on Jan. 21. The follow-up to their 2010 self-titled debut album shows growth, but at a snail’s pace.

The album starts off with a 48-second introduction track called “Slow Dive,” which, despite its simplicity, pretty much sets the stage for what’s to come. It fades in from nothing and grows into a synth-y wall of sound that leads right into “Anagram.” Sameer Gadhia’s vocals seamlessly flow from a smooth middle register to sweet falsetto.

Unfortunately, his vocals are not supported by strong lyrics or song structure. Throughout the album, Gadhia’s lyrics are laced with nos-

talgia and youth, but they don’t say anything substantial. A lack of specificity in the writing leads to a lack of personality. I have no idea who Sameer Gadhia is after listening to the album.

“Anagram” is followed by the album’s lead single, “It’s About Time.” One of its heavier songs, the track features a riff that’s fun to listen to in the moment, but it’s ultimately forgettable. Even their heavy songs like this

in sync If you like this album, check out these tracks:

1. “Some Nights” by fun.

2. “Come A Little Closer” by Cage the Elephant 3. “Pumped Up Kicks” by Foster the People 4. “Radioactive” by Imagine Dragons 5. “My God Is The Sun” by Queens of the Stone Age

one sound uneventful, even though all the rock ‘n’ roll elements are there. They’ve got fuzzy electric guitars, bombastic drums and a vocalist who’s not afraid to let some gravel in his

voice now and then.

The songs are always right on the cusp of real rock ‘n’ roll energy. At the end of “It’s About Time,” you just wish they would have let loose a little more.

The second single, “Crystallized,” is the first love song on the album. But the song suffers from the same vague lyrics that keep the rest of the tracks from greatness. It’s not a love song that makes you think of your own special someone. It feels cold, impersonal and safe.

Gadhia sings, “When the beat of my drum, meets the beat of your heart, you know I couldn’t love any other, any other,” but he never explains why he feels this way. We get no sense of what makes his love interest so great, so we’re not invested in the story.

The first song that meets the band’s potential is “Firelight,” a wispy ballad featuring a clean, warm guitar tone just reverberant enough to give the track a full, rich sound. Gadhia’s lyrics are still vague, but the listener gets a better idea of what the song is about. It sounds like his reaction to a loved one’s death. “Tell my friends I’m gone, it’s true, I’ve passed on now, to the eyes of a dark, lost blue,” Gadhia sings.

He seems to switch perspectives at the cho-

rus, one of the best examples of visual writing.

“I don’t believe you, I’m in a parachute, falling in deep sleep,” he sings. The words just paint pictures in your mind, and the sweeping but simple music behind it only makes for a more beautiful experience.

But other than “Firelight,” Young the Giant just isn’t able to create a memorable song. The problem lies in the album’s mediocrity. For one thing, there isn’t enough of a stylistic or dynamic range. There aren’t any bad songs on the album, but there’s only one truly good, memorable song. The instrumentation, structure and vocal delivery are largely the same.

The listener just coasts through the 13 songs and feels no differently after. We learn nothing about the band or ourselves, we just hear some decent tunes that we will promptly forget.

With more candid lyrics and the bravery to take risks by changing up instrumentation and song structure, Young the Giant could be the one band to save this decade’s incarnation of rock ‘n’ roll. Without all of those elements, the group will exist in a musical limbo. They won’t produce anything totally awful, but they won’t be remembered either.

The D.O.: How did Newhouse develop and shape you as a person and photographer?

S.R.: Not so much school or books, but the people I have met. I had one professor who is now retired, but I hope can make it to my seminar, Dr. Tom Richards. I went to London with him and it was only three of us in his class. Dr. Richards saw things in us and knew we needed freedom to find our own voice. I wish I could go back to school. I think the problem of going to college at 18 is that you’re 18. I didn’t take advantage of all the resources I had, and when I look back on it, I received a great education at Newhouse.

The D.O.: What is your greatest achievement?

S.R.: I always say I’m as good as my last picture, and my next will be the best. But one accomplishment that I’m proud of is being the [former] president of E.P. Basically our contract bettered everything for photographers who work with Businessweek, Forbes and Newsweek.

The D.O.: What makes a good photo?

S.R.: Finding your naked horse. I say that a photo is either sizzle or sizzle fizzle. You want someone to look at your photo and say, “Wow.” A good image has emotion, dynamic color and reveals a point of view.

The D.O.: What is the one thing you want people to get out of your photographs?

The Daily Orange: What inspired you to become a photographer?

Seth Resnick: It’s actually a long story involving tropical fish. I was really interested in saltwater tropical fish and in junior high I wanted to write a book about them. I had the manuscript already, but I needed photos of the fish. I looked in the Yellow Pages and called a local photographer. He said it would cost me $500 a day to hire him, which was $499 more than what I had. So I bought a camera instead, which had to be in the late ‘60s. I started taking pictures of the fish and was immediately fascinated by the physics of taking a photo. So, by high school, I knew what I wanted to do and where I wanted to go [for college]. I applied early decision to Newhouse, got in and never looked back.

Copper Beech Commons Renting for Fall 2014 Private Tenant Shuttle to SU and ESF! I continue to go back to Antarctica time and time again is to show that it is disappearing.

And instead of people making broad statements such as “they believe in global warming or do not,” my photographs allow them to notice that climate change is happening and that Antarctica is disappearing, and you can blame it on whatever you want to.

The D.O.: What advice would you give up-and-coming photographers?

S.R.: Find your own voice. If you’re an engineer, you’re not just an engineer. You could be a chemical engineer or an electrical engineer.

You have to choose one. When you’re a photographer, that is such a broad statement. If you realize, the most successful people are not generalists, but have specific talents. So, instead of being the other 98 percent, learn what your craft is and own it.

The D.O.: Who is the most interesting person you’ve met?

S.R.: That would be Bill Gates and the early Bill Gates when Windows was first created.

He had to be the most obnoxious person I have met. He is very bright, but so far out. He had an entourage of people around him, and it’s safe to say we didn’t connect. We were outside of Boston, photographing for his Windows product in a room all surrounded by windows. He didn’t understand the connection and asked why we weren’t taking photos next to a computer or something of the sort. At first I thought he may have had a dry sense of humor and was making a joke, until I realized he was serious. He didn’t want to do the shoot at all. Then he tells me, “You’re an artist. Did you go to school for this?”

And I reply, “Yes Mr. Gates, and I graduated.” He smiled, sort of saying touché and took the photo. bkdautru@syr.edu

t-shirt allowed his store to benefit a community effort while at the same time helping his own store.

“One of the things we pride ourselves on is being able to work with the community and having handmade, locally-made items at our store,” he said. “It makes us proud to say, ‘hey we have these T-shirts, not only are they made for our store, but they’re made in Syracuse.’”

Saltzman added that he was impressed by the amount of effort both Mabie and Adenau put into their craft. He said he had very high demands for the product, and Root Goods was able to deliver.

Adenau and Mabie said they prefer to work with companies because it challenges them and also encourages creativity within the designs. Mabie said he hopes Root Goods can continue working with local businesses to create a community where entrepreneurs can support one another.

He added that one of the main reasons he wanted to make shirts for Voltage Video Games and Café Kubal was because he and Adenau both enjoy video games and coffee.

“We’re just looking for people who are passionate about what they do,” Adenau said.

“Hopefully we can put some of our passion for graphics into that.”

Using a $2,000 inkjet printer, Root Goods is able to produce shirts using a process Adenau and Mabie described as “a fancy iron-on.”

While most iron-on shirts usually have a sticker-like appearance, Root Goods’ designs are made in a way that it appears to bleed onto the shirts. The team of two just recently bought the printer and spent more than 20 hours working on it initially, just to have it print in color.

Petrie, the architecture professor that recommended Root Goods to Café Kubal, said the process itself was one of the more interesting parts of the T-shirt company.

“That’s what’s fascinating about what he’s doing. He’s pushing what you would expect from a T-shirt manufacturer right out of his apartment,” he said. “He’s able to start with the tools that he has and make something out of it, other than

printing essays or homework assignments.”

Adenau said the company holds a really high standard for the quality of its shirts, making its iron-on process much more intricate than usual.

“It’s in our best interest to have the final product to represent our vision in the best way possible,” he added.

Much like the printing, much of the company’s process has been a lot of trial and error, the two said. Although the company was difficult to balance with their life as college students when it started, the two have become experienced

and accustomed to the workload, both as entrepreneurs and students.

Currently, the company is only gaining business through its Etsy shop, its Facebook page and reaching out to other businesses for specifically designed T-shirts.

Mabie added that he hopes to continue partnering with other local businesses, because it’s the best way to improve his own company.

Said Mabie: “I think that’s a good way for us to have solid and consistent growth that’s not just based on constantly reaching new people.”

lines as “well, it should be pretty short” and “mention that Louis XIV was the one who built Versailles.” In the end, I put together a page of bullet points and called it a day.

The one clear lesson I drew from my first week’s experiences was the necessity of asking for help. My previous strategy of “smile, nod and pretend you understand what they said” simply wouldn’t cut it here.

Looking back, many of my struggles in my first week at school could’ve been avoided if I’d simply asked for clarification or help.

Take, for example, my failure to access the school’s Wi-Fi. When the university librarian told me to simply enter my student code to log on, I smiled, thanked him and walked away without asking which of the many numbers on my university ID constituted my “student code.”

After a few feeble attempts to commandeer the Wi-Fi of the guy sitting next to me, I was forced to give up and go home.

In the coming week, my resolution is to not be afraid to rely on others. So, to my professors, you can expect a lot more after-class questions from the girl with the American accent.

To the blonde girl in my literature class, please don’t think I’m creepy if I sit behind you for the rest of the semester (and, for the love of all that is holy, don’t decrease the font size on your notes).

Newborn takes 1st steps as 5-star freshman at Syracuse

By Matt Miselis staff writer

Freshman Rhiann Newborn knew that in order to fulfill her dream of becoming a professional tennis player, she must work through the confines of being home-schooled during high school.

Her daily routine began with a 7 a.m. wakeup call and a workout in a gym until 8:30. Then from 8:45 until noon, she would strictly focus on her schoolwork.

The next six hours consisted of eating lunch, working on more schoolwork and making time for tennis practice. Once she returned home from practice, Newborn spent the rest of the night working on homework until her day ended at 11 p.m.

Her father, Darryl Newborn, said this lifestyle was essential in her development a student-athlete. Newborn is now a freshman at Syracuse and has started in singles and doubles in each of the team’s first three matches. Her past as a homeschooled tennis player has prepared her well to acclimate to college lifestyle and academics.

“Tennis breeds homeschool kids,” Darryl Newborn said. “The level of kids being recruited to major D-I colleges these days are not too far from having the talent to play professional tennis.”

Newborn was ranked as Texas’ top player from the time she was 12-years-old until she graduated high school. Her parents realized that the only way to enhance her development would be to travel across the country and play in national tournaments.

apache Apache died on Jan. 3, 2012, at age 38 — midway through Butler and Ford’s senior year — of cardiac arrest related to complications from skin cancer. This January marked the two-year anniversary of his death.

Throughout his coaching career, Apache talked nearly every day with his longtime friend Quentin Hillsman, who is now in his eighth season as Syracuse’s head coach.

“He died giving his heart away,” Hillsman said. “He didn’t get rich in this game. He didn’t make money. He was pretty much on welfare and helping kids. That’s what he did.”

The game of basketball saved Apache’s life, so in return he dedicated many years of his life to keeping as many girls off the streets as he could. He became one of the most well-known basketball coaches in the city, thanks to his two state championships at the high school level and the success he enjoyed with the Exodus AAU program he founded in 1996.

And not even his cancer would stop him from coaching and influencing lives until the very day he died.

“He had the heart of a lion. His heart was enormous,” said Lauren Best, Apache’s assistant coach and fiancée. “The day he passed, we were going to go to his treatment and then practice.

“He could barely stand up but he said, ‘I’m not going to let my kids down.’”

••• Apache’s mother spent 16 years in prison for selling cocaine and his brother also did time for selling drugs.

One of his uncles was killed while attempting a robbery and another uncle admitted to murdering five people.

Apache easily could’ve gone down the wrong path himself, but basketball became Apache’s escape. So he made it his goal in life to teach girls that the game could be their outlet, too.

His players became his daughters. He made sure they ate. He made sure they had winter

Her schedule would change dramatically when it was time to perform in competitions.

Without this structured education, Newborn would not have succeeded academically.

“The pro tournaments started on Sunday and would finish next Sunday,” she said. “So if I made it far into the draw and I wasn’t home-schooled, I would’ve been missing a lot of school.”

Newborn became accustomed to traveling because it required a large portion of her time each day. It took her approximately 45 minutes to an hour for traveling to the nearest practice facility from her home in Houston.

When traveling to matches, Newborn spent her time working on schoolwork.

“On our way to hotels, Rhiann was reading books in the car and getting homework done,” Darryl Newborn said.

The decision by her parents to homeschool their daughter paid off when Syracuse head coach Luke Jensen began recruiting the fivestar prospect.

While Newborn garnered interest from Texas, Texas A&M and other schools in the state, Syracuse was a program that would help her meet her academic and athletic goals.

Her parents received that vibe when given the opportunity to meet with Jensen about their daughter’s transition from being home-schooled to taking on a vigorous college workload.

“When we spoke with coach Jensen, he explained everything to us”, Darryl Newborn said. “We were very comfortable with him.”

Newborn adjusted to a college workload and

managed her time. At first, the transition from a home-school education to a college schedule loomed large, as Newborn adapted to waking up for school and managing to get to class on time.

She joined a program where her head coach would ensure that she would pay close attention to her studies. Jensen acknowledged the obstacles of studying in college, but said it can be overcome with hard work.

“Like any freshman, being away from home was difficult. Getting used to the academic side is always very difficult,” Jensen said. “Those

are just challenges and we really stress that.

“To get a degree here, it’s because you actually earned it. No one’s giving you anything.”

Newborn faced her fair share of obstacles when transitioning to a college lifestyle, and shows gratitude to the people that put her in an environment that will lead her to success.

“I do have to send a huge thanks out to my family and all my coaches who have helped me through the years with my tennis and school to get me to where I am at now.”

coats. He made sure they had a shoulder to cry on and a friend to call at 3 a.m.

“He wasn’t just a basketball coach,” said Ron Kelley, Apache’s assistant coach. “He wasn’t just a guy that showed up when it was time for practice or the game and then headed home until next time.”

••• Before Apache’s words changed Ford’s life, his actions may have saved it.

“Taylor Ford is one of those young ladies that had some issues at home,” Kelley said.

“Apache grabbed her, saw she had a little bit of talent, and just didn’t let go.”

Ford’s parents separated when she was 10, and her mother worked two jobs to try and support her four children. In middle school, Apache introduced Ford to serious basketball by bringing her to his AAU Exodus program.

Ford never thought she could earn a scholarship for basketball, but Apache saw just enough potential to push her to achieve one. When her visit to Penn State disappointed her, Apache was on the other end of the phone to comfort her.

But as Ford put in the work to develop Division I potential, her overall attitude lacked because of the people surrounding her. She wasn’t particularly friendly or outgoing.

Apache’s advice that day before practice at the Henry Street gym changed that.

“I started to watch what they were doing and I realized I shouldn’t be around them,” Ford said.

“He made me a more fun person. He made me happy about life.”

••• When Butler joined Exodus, she played behind a group of superstars. She was unselfish on the court and deferred to those players, but Apache thought she was doing it all wrong.

And he let everyone in the gym know it.

“He would just get at her during games and almost had to force her to shoot the ball sometimes,” Kelley said. “And by the time she was a senior, she had developed into this really aggressive scoring machine.”

All of the yelling Butler took from Apache served as motivation. She’d spend an extra hour after practices working on her 3-point

shooting, pull-up jumpers and ability to attack the basket. Butler sought to become more of an offensive threat and less of a passive player.

Her dedication paid off in an out-of-state tournament game, where Butler had what Apache told her afterward was one of the best games he had seen her play.

And by the time Butler left high school, she was the No. 13 recruit in the country.

“If he’s yelling at you, you know he wants you to do well,” Butler said. “He taught me to be a killer and not back down from a challenge.”

••• Late in their friendship, a very ill Apache grumbled to Hillsman about having to drink protein shakes.

“Listen, you have to drink this,” Hillsman told him.

“You think this is so damn good? Then you drink some,” Apache retorted. Just so Apache wouldn’t have to drink one alone, Hillsman drank one – and it was “pretty nasty,” he said.

Hillsman laughed as he reflected, then slowly become more solemn.

“That was the last moment that he and I had together. You kind of knew that this was a moment you need to cherish, because he wasn’t doing well.”

The two first met when they were in high school. As their coaching careers began to take form, they crossed paths enough in basketball gyms across the East Coast and realized they had much in common. They became a sounding board for each other, whether they spoke about basketball or life beyond the game.

When Apache had three players that needed to get out of New York, Hillsman took them in to his Laurinburg (N.C.) Institute program.

That team went 22-0, en route to the 2002-03 prep school girls’ national championship.

With that, a pipeline was born.

“Our players were our babies,” Best said. “You can’t send your child to play for just anybody. You got to send them to somebody who will take care of them, and Coach Q took care of our babies.”

When Best found Apache unresponsive on the day of his death, her first call was for the paramedics. Her second call was for Hillsman to console her.

•••

Butler and Ford don’t bring up Apache intentionally. Even two years later, his absence is still new to them. But once in a while a moment surfaces, and his words and mannerisms return as vividly as ever to the roommates.

“We just stay strong for each other,” Butler said, “and we just know that he’s in a better place.”

Both of their Instagram accounts pay homage to Apache and his favorite saying: “Love is love.”

Behind Butler’s left ear is a tattoo that commemorates Apache and Exodus.

They miss his pregame speeches, which were full of intensity and a single wisecrack.

During practice, some of Butler’s tendencies remind Ford of the times Apache raised his voice at her. Each time Ford eats seafood, one of Apache’s favorite meals, she thinks of him.

He may be gone, but he’s certainly not forgotten.

“Every now and then,” Hillsman said, “you can just see his influences over our program and over those two and even over me, because we were so close.”

ment. The man described by others as ingenious and masterful describes the growth of the zone as gradual. He emphasizes the players, not the defense. And he even presents the system as simple and replicable — though that’s just his inclination to skate over and simplify it.

From Boeheim’s first days trying to crack the Lyons Central junior varsity zone in practice, to orchestrating Syracuse through his first 20 years as head coach, he accrued a vast wealth of knowledge. He absorbed every possible wrinkle and rotation on the hardwood and instructed hundreds of players how and when to utilize them.

That’s why, around 1996, he decided to switch almost exclusively to the zone.

“Finally it dawned on me,’’ said Boeheim in a candid moment after his team’s 61-50 win over Indiana in last year’s Sweet 16, “after about 27 or 28 years, that if we played zone all the time and didn’t waste time playing man-to-man and put some wrinkles in the zone, that our defense would be better.’’

But before all the flash and fame, Boeheim was a scrawny, 6-foot-3 guard for Lyons Central High School. At about 155 pounds, he was a pretty good physical model for the guards he would recruit half a century later.

But he was more offensive minded. Had there been a 3-point line, teammates agreed his team-leading scoring average as a senior would have been higher.

His coach, Dick Blackwell, first introduced the concept of zone defense to Boeheim and six of his friends who played together from sixth grade through grwaduation.

“He taught me a lot about basketball,” Boeheim said.

Teammates Don Oakleaf and Mike DeCola remember their sophomore year when the deftshooting Boeheim was bumped up to varsity. In practices, the JV squad would often play a zone and have to extend their guards up on Boeheim.

“Personally I don’t think there’s any question that his experience in high school carried over,” Oakleaf said. “He had plenty of time to see how effective they were.”

Blackwell used the 2-3 and 2-1-2 zones about 30 percent of the time against most teams, but predominantly in the team’s two games against rival Newark Valley each year.

Oakleaf — the center who was only slightly taller and about 20 pounds heavier than Boeheim — said the team had to play zone against a stockier opposing big man.

“We never lost to Newark,” Oakleaf said with a chuckle.

Coming to Syracuse as a freshman in 1962, Boeheim’s next coach was Fred B. Lewis. He was more of a yeller than Blackwell. And he played more zone, but relied most heavily on full-court pressure.

The same rotations Boeheim practiced in high school carried over to college, where he starred alongside fellow freshman and roommate Dave Bing.

“Jimmy was not a great individual defensive player,” Bing said, “but he was very smart.

He knew how to play angles offensively and defensively.”

Bing said that as a player who thrived with the ball in his hands, Boeheim’s ability to communicate with him on the court was crucial to the team’s success.

His perception was unmatched by other teammates, and as Boeheim moved into coaching, Bing said it allowed him to slow the game

down and notice smaller details of the defense.

“I think he just picked up on what they were doing,” Bing said, “the little nuances that we didn’t do well back then.”

He was hired as a graduate assistant by Roy Danforth in 1969 and became a full-time assistant soon after. Boeheim said he often asked Danforth to play more zone. And once Danforth left for Tulane in 1976, Boeheim did it himself.

Close friend P.J. Carlesimo, who was an assistant coach at Fordham at the time, remembers how quickly Boeheim’s first few teams mastered the zone.

Boeheim plugged players of all different shapes and sizes into his system.

The Lee brothers, Jimmy and Mike, highlighted Syracuse teams in the early 1970s before giving way to the Louis and Bouie show.

Louis Orr and Roosevelt Bouie revolutionized fast-break offense coming out of the zone.

And some of that duo’s success stems back to a conversation Boeheim had with Bouie, his first-ever recruit and a 6-foot-11, 225-pound speedster of a center.

It was Bouie’s freshman year in 1976 and he was struggling to adjust to college life, as well as the zone’s intricate defensive slides.

“

Jimmy was not a great individual defensive player, but he was very smart. He knew how to play angles offensively and defensively.

Dave Bing former su guard

“A lot of those teams were not nearly as athletic as the later teams,” Carlesimo said, “but they always played the zone very, very well.”

Boeheim utilized the zone more than his predecessors, but not all the time. He encouraged his teams to trap in the low post and the corners — the same fundamental defensive principles Blackwell outlined when he started playing.

The troubles shook his nerves. So Boeheim told him not to overthink the technical movements. Just focus on moving quickly.

“If you can work so hard in practice every day that when you finish practice it’ll take you 15 minutes before you can bend over and take your shoes off,” Boeheim said, “what more can I ask of you?’

ROOSEVELT BOUIE (50) was Jim Boeheim’s first-ever recruit and played for Syracuse from 1976-1980. Listed at 6 feet, 11 inches, Bouie initially struggled to adapt to the slides of Boeheim’s zone, but was first-team Big East his senior year. daily orange file photo

JIM BOEHEIM switched to the 2-3 zone almost excusively 16 seasons ago and hasn’t looked back. daily orange file photo

“That took a big weight off my shoulders,” Bouie said.

As the years went on, Boeheim gradually ran more and more zone. He learned to work in each rotation during the preseason and integrated a six-on-five drill that allowed the firstteam defense to prepare for the next game.

If the upcoming opposition featured a sharpshooter, Boeheim would pluck another player from the sideline — Leo Rautins in Bouie’s era — and have them prepare the guards for extra-fast slides.

If the upcoming opposition featured a highpost threat, Boeheim would place an extra man there.

He even learned to adapt with the game.

When the 3-point line was introduced in 1986, Boeheim pushed his wings up to defend the perimeter and dropped his center.

“If you want to learn zone, there’s only one zone to study,” said ESPN analyst Seth Greenberg, a former NCAA head coach. “That’s Jim Boeheim’s 2-3 zone.”

The zone defined the heyday of Big East basketball for some, as many coaches labored to find a way to beat it.

Pete Gillen, who was an assistant coach at Villanova (1978–80) and Notre Dame (1980– 85) before taking the helm at Providence from 1994–98, recalled a ploy he took from longtime Louisville head coach Denny Crum: backscreening the weak-side guard.

Six days after getting stomped by the oneloss Orangemen on Jan. 7, 1998, Gillen’s 6-7 Providence squad dropped 76 points in the Carrier Dome en route to a mammoth upset.

“We probably weren’t a very good team, but we beat them up there,” Gillen said.

Boeheim had plenty of games like that during his first 20 years of growing the zone. In truth, he had plenty of every kind of game during that span. And through it all, the zone proved to be the key ingredient in his winning formula.

As the Carrier Dome horn blew, indicating the start of practice, Boeheim raised his eyebrows before answering one last question in typical Boeheim fashion.

So why did you decide to go to the zone fulltime?

‘Giving his

heart away’

Syracuse reflects on passing of high school coach, close friend

By Phil D’Abbraccio asst. copy editor

T

oo often, Robert “Apache” Paschall had seen young adults fall victim to the difficulties and dangers of growing up in New York City. He was almost one of those victims.

He was well aware of the consequences of poor situations and poorer decisions. Apache had that in mind when he sat down four troubled players in the Henry Street gym in the Lower East Side of Manhattan before practice.

One of those girls was high school freshman Taylor Ford, who at the time was stuck befriending the wrong crowd. She’ll never forget his words from that day.

“Don’t be the person that people don’t want to be around with,” Apache told them, lecturing them for 20 minutes in a storage room. “You are who your friends are. Be the person who everyone wants to be around.”

“Apache actually changed my life,” said Ford, now a sophomore forward at Syracuse. “Without him, I don’t know where I would be. I don’t know if I would be at a Division I college or home or whatever. Because of

him, I’m where I am now.”

Apache was the head coach at St. Michael’s Academy in midtown Manhattan from 2002 until it closed in June 2010. He then moved on

He could barely stand up but he said, ‘I’m not going to let my kids down.’”

Jim Boeheim knows many fans and media members are already looking ahead to the Duke game on Saturday.

College GameDay visiting Syracuse. The two best teams in the Atlantic Coast Conference. Tyler Ennis and Jabari Parker on the same court. Excitement is inevitable.

But Boeheim insists that his team isn’t looking ahead to Duke.

He said his players recognize that every game poses different challenges. No. 2 Syracuse’s (19-0, 6-0 ACC) matchup against Wake Forest (14-6, 4-3) Wednesday night isn’t nearly as notable as the Duke game, but it’s just as important for SU, Boeheim said.

“We know that going to Wake Forest is obviously very difficult,” Boeheim said in the Atlantic Coast Conference coaches’ teleconference Monday.

“They’re very tough in their place. They haven’t lost at home and are obviously a very good basketball team.”

The Demon Deacons won just 36 percent of their games the past three years and have been stuck near the bottom of the ACC standings since 2010.

But this year’s team is different, Boeheim insists. Wake Forest is 12-0 at home and has beaten North Carolina, North Carolina State and Notre Dame.

Jeff Bzdelik’s team has outscored its opponents by 4.4 points per game this season and has limited the opposition to just 40.3 percent shooting.

Travis McKie was named ACC Player of the Week on Monday, and Codi Miller-McIntyre has emerged as one of the conference’s premier scorers.

Last year, Wake Forest had the fourth best attendance in the ACC, and Saturday’s win over the Fighting Irish nearly drew 12,000. Bzdelik, Wake’s head coach, knows his team is young, which is part of the reason it’s been so successful at home, he said.

“They feed off the energy,” Bzdelik said in the teleconference.

Boeheim believes it has a chance to knock off Syracuse, just like any team in the conference.

He said this year’s team has been very good at not looking ahead, so he expects nothing different this week.

“There’ll be no thought that we weren’t thinking about Wake Forest,” Boeheim said. “We will be thinking about Wake Forest until that game is over with.” tbhass@syr.edu | @TrevorHass
