“Lab Girl� has been selected as the required reading component for next semester’s SEM 100 freshman forum. “Lab Girl,� a 2016 memoir written by geobiologist Hope Jahren, focuses on Jahren’s discovery of her interest in science and success as a researcher. “The Daily Show� host Trevor Noah’s memoir, “Born a Crime,� was the first selection for SEM 100, a five-week mandatory program for first year students created to discuss diversity and inclusion. Noah’s book detailed his upbringing in South Africa and racism in a country with government-mandated racial segregation. Though the “Lab Girl� does not focus on issues of race and racial diversity, as Noah’s did, SU officials said it was chosen because it examines themes of belonging, working in a men-dominated field and mental health. “As an institution of higher learning, this story relates well to the concept of intellectual adversity and courage to pioneer within a field,� Amanda Nicholson, assistant provost and dean of student success, said in an email. “The book examines issues of identity and belonging that can resonate with us all.� Changes to SEM 100 for the next academic year have not been announced, but the First-Year Experience Initiative Steering Committee will use feedback from surveys and focus groups to improve the program, Kira Reed, provost faculty fellow and associate professor of management, said in an email. “The intent of SEM 100 is to provide students with a communitybuilding shared experience that allows them to explore their own identity and develop a perspective of the similarities and differences across all our identities,� Reed said. krose100@syr.edu

GSO

Senators to conduct survey on graduate student wages By Richard J. Chang staff writer

Syracuse University’s Graduate Student Organization is gathering statistics on graduate employees’ wages, employment benefits and working conditions to evaluate graduate employment at SU.

The GSO’s Employment Issues Committee plans to draft a new survey this week to collect information on employment and wage. Last semester, the committee concluded that graduate students at SU don’t make a living wage. Anthony Walker, a GSO Senator on the committee, said he wants

to send the new survey to all SU graduate students so those who are not employed can say whether they choose not to have a job or if they’re seeking employment. The committee has not decided who the survey will be sent to, he said. GSO President Jack Wilson said the employment survey will be part

of a more comprehensive survey sent to all graduate students. It will cover questions about wage, working hours, health care, international student life, living with a family, employment and other topics, he said. Syracuse Graduate Employees United, a group of SU graduate student employees advocating

for better employee benefits and rights, was excluded from viewing the results of the survey. The Senate voted to exclude SGEU due to confidentiality concerns. Walker, who is also a member of SGEU, said the two groups butted heads last year when GSO voted

Members of an upstate New York anti-drone organization protested against drone operations at the Hancock Field Air National Guard Base on Tuesday evening. Upstate Drone Action protests in front of the base, located at Syracuse’s Hancock International Airport, every first and third Tuesday of the month during warmer months, said protestor Ed Kinane. The group holds signs during shift changes to catch the attention of base workers as they leave the main entrance between 4 p.m. to 5 p.m., he said. “If some of us aren’t out here, who’s going to do it?� Kinane said. He said he has been with Drone

Action Group since its creation in November 2009.

It is definitely worth getting arrested. It is saying ‘This is so important I’m putting my body here.’ Ann Tiffany upstate drone action member

The group was formed shortly after the 174 Attack Wing, which operates the base’s drone program, opened its MQ-9 Reaper training program, Kinane said. The MQ-9 Reaper is a remote

operated aircraft used primarily in target execution. The use of drone strikes increased substantially under President Barack Obama, according to The Bureau of Investigative Journalists. He used them 10 times more than his predecessor, George W. Bush, according to the Bureau. The year it was created, Upstate Drone Action fasted during Thanksgiving in protest of the training program, Kinane said. The group has between 30 and 40 members from around upstate New York, he said. In the past, Upstate Drone Action experienced run-ins with law enforcement while protesting, Kinane said. Both Kinane and his partner, Ann Tiffany, have been arrested for protesting at the base

before, he said. “It is definitely worth getting arrested� Tiffany said. “It is saying, ‘This is so important I’m putting my body here.’�On Tuesday, the protesters made sure to get a permit and stay on the side of the street opposite of the base, Kinane said. The protestors did not experience confrontations with law enforcement. Passersby honked on occasion in support, though one car passenger driving by yelled at the group to leave the base. Tiffany said she was sad that more people didn’t attend Tuesday’s protest. But protester Dick Keough said that even a small amount of people can have an impact. “It only takes one person to do something,� Keough said. pjlineha@syr.edu

Amid rising partisan tensions in the debate over a southern border wall, President Donald Trump called for political compromise while advocating for hardline border security during his third State of the Union speech on Tuesday night. The speech came 11 days after a 35-day shutdown occurred and ten days before another government shutdown could occur, as democrats and republicans remain gridlocked

over funding for a wall in parts of the country’s border with Mexico. “An economic miracle is taking place in the United States, and the only things that can stop it are foolish wars, politics or ridiculous partisan investigations,� Trump said. Citing human trafficking, gang violence, drug-dealing and forced prostitution near the U.S.-Mexico border, Trump called tolerance for illegal immigration cruel. Trump said that he ordered 3,750 more troops to the southern border because of

the “tremendous onslaught� of undocumented immigrants coming to the U.S. “Smugglers use migrant children as human pawns to exploit our laws and gain access to our country,� he said. Trump also congratulated the large number of women who star ted their first terms in Congress in 2019. The 116th Congress has the highest number of freshman congresswomen in history. He also asked congress to pass a law banning late-term abortion, citing Virginia Gov. Ralph

Northam’s comments on the subject. New York state recently passed the Reproductive Health Act, which offers protections for women requiring late-term abortions and codifying the Supreme Court decision made in Roe v. Wade. The president announced that he will meet with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un for a second time, in Vietnam on Feb. 27 and 28 in an effort to cull North Korea’s nuclear program. Trump also cited job growth and forming a trade deal with China. gkstern@syr.edu

Personte did not detail what SU’s process was for checking that properties remained up to code, or if properties that develop code violations after being originally approved would be removed from the site. In a follow-up email, Personte said SU will work with the code enforcement department to “verify code and registry compliance in a timely manner.” “To do this right costs money and is labor intensive, and SU doesn’t want to do that,” Tupper said. “This company doesn’t want to do that.” Andrew Alarcon, general manager of The Marshall, said Off Campus Partners set up a listing for the company, but he doesn’t plan on using the site.

survey to switch health care plans for graduate students. He said he worries that the survey may not be drafted if the Senate finds too many complications in the planning procedure. Walker joined SGEU before being elected to GSO. He became a member of GSO’s Employment Issues Committee to see if both groups would come together to cooperate. When a survey was sent to all graduate students in April 2017, the Senate found issues with employees’ pay ranges and employment, Walker said. The Senate wanted to find a way to bring the results to SU and have the university release the data, he added. The wage report survey last semester showed that graduate employees do not make a living wage, according to a

OPR plans to advertise on the housing portal for the fall 2019 semester, and the company will still have ads on other sites like OrangeHousing and RentCollegePads, she added. Greystar — a global property development company — owns Campus West and University Village Apartments on Colvin, both of which are listed on the site. “We chose to advertise on the site because we value our partnership with the University,” said Craig Wack, press coordinator for Greystar, in an email. “We see the housing portal as an essential tool to market our communities to students.” SU’s portal only provides the “ground floor of information” a tenant needs when searching for an apartment, Sharon Sherman, executive director of the Greater Syracuse Tenants Network, said. The city requires properties classified as one- and two-family homes to be on its rental registry, but the process for obtaining a rental certificate doesn’t involve an interior inspection of the property. Having a rental certificate doesn’t guarantee a property is safe, Sherman said, and landlords don’t lose their certificates if they have a history of similar code violations. “Really, the issue is if there are outstanding code violations and whether they have (fixed)

any violations and how long since they had violations,” she said. Larger buildings classified as three- or more family homes need exterior and interior inspections every five years. Sherman and Tupper both said major issues could arise with the property before another inspection is done. If a tenant requests an interior inspection for either type of home, though, the landlord can be forced by a court order to allow interior inspections. Sherman said SU’s portal should provide a link to the city’s website for code violations, where tenants can look up any property and see its history of violations. But even the city codes don’t cover other issues a tenant should look out for, including whether a property has security cameras or exterior lighting, she said. Off Campus Partners will send landlords on the site an email reminding them to renew their certificates, Personte said. SU sent a request for proposal to Donna Glassberg, owner of OrangeHousing.com, in spring 2018. The university wanted a vendor to create a housing portal that would only allow properties with rental certificates that don’t have major code violations. OrangeHousing.com does not check if

landlords have a rental certificate or if the properties listed have open code violations. Glassberg spent a week drafting a letter to SU explaining why the portal was a bad idea. SU never responded, she said. “I told them there are many more factors other than whether there’s a certificate,” she said. “Just because someone has a driver’s license doesn’t mean they’re a safe driver. Just because a landlord has this certificate doesn’t mean they’re a good landlord.” Glassberg started OrangeHousing in 1997 and helped found the Office of Off Campus and Commuter Services in 1998. She has served on the office’s advisory board since then. She said OrangeHousing has helped thousands of students over the years. Glassberg said she helps students figure out what type of housing is right for them, gives advice on how to make sure properties are safe and sometimes even intervenes with landlords on the behalf of tenants. “People need to be educated and communicate with landlords so they could all be more vigilant,” Glassberg said. “You need to be vigilant about the real issues instead of sugar-coating it and sending out false messages.”

calculator from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Wilson said GSO has known for years that there have been student employee wage issues. The Senate discussed wage issues in 2013, but those conversations were overshadowed in following years by other matters such as housing safety and switching the health insurance plan, he said. Graduate students work as teaching, instructional, graduate and research assistantships or under a fellowship. Pay fluctuates between titles and academic departments. Walker was offered four semesters of assistantship in the Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs’ Geographic Information Systems program. He said his salary is $19,850 before taxes, and he gets a $4,250 award for summer masters research.

He considers himself a minority among graduate students because he has never been financially strained from undergraduate debt. Walker also said he is paid on the higher end of the spectrum of graduate student wages.

member of SGEU’s organizing committee. For the first two years of Yong’s studies, she could not save enough money to travel home to Malaysia during the winter and summer breaks, she said. Yong said the main issue with graduate student labor on campus is getting “full support from the university” rather than just increasing wages. She also said GSO and SGEU should work together. If SU recognizes SGEU as a union, the group would have the right to collectively bargain with the university over graduate student wages, health care and other issues. “We need more coordination than anything.” Yong said. “I think SGEU and GSO can come together to make change together. GSO is a student body, but SGEU has the power to negotiate.”

n his 2019 budget, Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) proposed new legislation related to plastic ban reform to expand the 5 cent bottle deposit to other types of containers, including sports drinks and energy drinks. He has also proposed a ban on single-use plastic bags in New York state. Not only will these proposals help reduce single-use plastic waste, but they may also reduce greenhouse gas emissions that inevitably come with the production of plastics. But, 5 cents is just a start. We need to stop using plastics ourselves and encourage peers to do the same. In 2018, there was a push to stop using plastic straws across the United States. As the campaign drew supporters, people started to ditch the straws. Perhaps, we should be focusing less on the dollar amount of using plastics, and more on that of social-acceptability. Encourage other students to ditch disposable plastic bottles by using reusable plastic bottles, yourself. And peer pressure isn’t unique to people living in New York. Cuomo’s single-use plastic bag ban idea, and 5 cent bottle proposal, could influence other states to draft similar legislation. “There may be a spill over into other states, particularly those in the Northeast that look to NY for leadership,� said Sherburne

BE KEEN, GO GREEN Abbott, a Syracuse University professor of geography, in an email. “Yes, I believe it will be successful in reducing single-use plastic waste and improve public awareness of the problem. “The question is, and this would require some research, is what strategy works best — a stepped reduction (introducing a charge first, followed by ban) or all-out ban.� Washington, D.C. was the first major city to introduce a charge on disposable paper and plastic bags, in 2010. That ban also included a 5 cent surcharge. “Apparently the culture of DC wasn’t as hard wired to plastics as everyone thoughtmost people did bring in their own bags to supermarkets and stores,� Abbott said, though. “ I don’t believe the data showed that 5 cents was the threshold but rather public pressure was the far more important variable.� The time to pressure politicians on environmental change and legislation is now. Cuomo’s proposals are promising, but there’s much work to be done. Emily Cerrito is a sophomore television, radio and film major. Her column appears bi-weekly. You can reach her at ercerrit@syr.edu.

Spending 20 years documenting the lives of the First Nation Algonquin people of Barrier Lake, Quebec, Syracuse photographer Michael Greenlar developed a connection with Kokom (Gr a nd mot her) Lena Jerome GREENLAR Nottaway and her 15 children. “I can’t even explain what it feels like to have this project come to fruition after all these years,â€? Greenlar said. In his project, Greenlar spent time with the family to learn who they were, and built their trust. After spending time with the fourgeneration family, Greenlar’s collection is now on display at ArtRage Gallery through March 23. Inspired by Syracuse Cultural Workers’ national promotion of social justice, Kimberley McCoy, ArtRage’s community engagement organizer, said they wanted to create a space for the Syracuse community to experience artwork dedicated to various social justice and environmental issues. “We are looking for a diversity of lots of things — of artists, of media, of issues that we think the work is covering,â€? McCoy said. The opening reception for Greenlar’s exhibition was held ."#-É * -.É 1 % ( É .É ." É %YĆ€()ä"É Center, a Haudenosaunee Heritage Center, that ArtRage partnered with. Daughters of Nottaway attended Saturday’s reception to appreciate Greenlar’s work. ArtRage works with artists like Greenlar to showcase progressive art that inspires resistance and promotes social awareness by encouraging cultural change, according to its website. Greenlar’s project is one of ArtRage’s several seasonal exhibits that shed light on various sociopolitical issues. “It’s a place where it’s not just art for art’s sake, but it’s art with something else behind it that can generate a conversation and create a dialogue,â€? McCoy added. In Greenlar’s book, “Kokom Lena of the First Nation Algonquin,â€? Oren Lyons, a member of the Iroquois Confederacy and advocate of indigenous religions, wrote the foreword and commended the impact his work has had on showing a side of the First Nation Algonquin not often conveyed through mainstream media. “I extend my deep appreciation and respect to Mike Greenlar for his insightful perceptions, courage and dedication to chronicle Lena’s contribution to the moral side of humanity’s story,â€?

Jackie Akerley has been a fan of Fleetwood Mac since she was a child. She said her mom played the band’s music in the car, when she was growing up. Sami Albert’s sister raved about attending a Mad Hatter-style dinner party, where everything was so small that she felt like a giant. Alison Emmel worked at a seafood store in Syracuse called Fins & Tails Seafood Store. Liz Tosi had cravings for bone broth as a sick college student, but couldn’t find her desired remedy anywhere near Syracuse. These four Syracuse University communications design alumnae were each inspired by details from their own lives to create awardwinning design projects that won awards at the international Creative Quarterly competition. The winning projects will be featured in the winter 2019 issue and online gallery of Creative Quarterly, an international arts and design journal. Five of the 12 winning entries were created by SU students who studied communications design in the College of Visual and Performing Arts’ School of Design. Several of the runners-up in the graphic design and advertising categories were also SU communications design students. Akerley created a coffee table book based on the 40th anniversary of Fleetwood Mac’s “Rumours� album. Although Akerley said she has been a fan of Fleetwood Mac since she was young, she did in-depth research about the band for her project. She said that her professor, Michelle Damato, encouraged her to watch videos of Fleetwood Mac performing live in the 1970s, for inspiration. Akerley paid close attention to Stevie Nicks’ emotions when she sang, the style of the band’s clothing and the performances’ lighting design. “It was extremely helpful in getting a sense of the emotions behind their work, which inspired me to reflect those emotions in my book,� said Akerley in an email. Albert had two winning entries. One of her projects, “Undease,� centered around a line of disposable, eco-friendly menstrual underwear made out of bamboo. Albert’s other project depicted a tiny food festival, which incorporated a poster, map and website. The trend of tiny homes paired with her sister’s idea of hosting a small dinner party inspired Albert to create her tiny food festival project, she said. For Albert, the process focused on overall branding projects, including web design, advertising and packaging. She said her professor, Rachel Aubrey, supported her throughout the process. For Emmel’s piece, she created packaging and branding for seafood snacks. She called her project “Fins &

y 7 a.m. on most Saturdays, Collins Barber & Beauty Shop is already buzzing with the sound of electric razors. The smell of rubbing alcohol hangs in the air as customers take their seats, the volume of chatter raising over the humming sound. Managed by Charleston Collins, Collins Barber & Beauty Shop celebrates 51 years of business this year. Since its opening in the late 1960s, the family business has moved twice and is now settled on South Crouse Avenue. Charleston attributes the shop’s open tone to the barbershop rules: no cursing, dress respectably and keep electronics to a minimum — a precedent his late father established. His father, Carlton Jr., had managed the business with only an education through 9th grade. Charleston’s son, Tyson, grew up

inside the shop and, like his father, didn’t want to run the family business. It was only after he started working there in 2011 that he grew the same admiration his father found when he first started. “When people come in here, we want people to come see how we run it and what we’re about,� Charleston said. While the shop is strongly rooted in Christianity, he said, the business establishes its reputation through the character of those who work there. For customer James Merrick Jr., the respectful tone of the barbershop is unlike any other he has visited. Conversations in the shop often include hot-button topics like sports, religion and politics — all of which he said can be discussed openly. The shop’s neighborhood has changed over the decades, and the barbershop continues to be a place of childhood nostalgia for many customers. For see barbershop page 8

Abroad Day offers global perspective By Victoria Decoster staff writer

With more than 100 programs in 60 different countries to choose from, deciding where to study abroad can be a difficult decision to make for some students during their college experience. To help guide students in their decision-making process, the Syracuse University Abroad program will host a “Study Abroad Day� on Thursday to showcase every destination available. This year’s Abroad Day will

take place on Thursday from noon to 3 p.m. in the Martin J. Whitman School of Management Atrium. The event is designed as an opportunity to give prospective students a chance to talk with more than 30 Global Ambassadors and 13 representatives from World Partner programs, said Maria del Mar Aponte Rodriguez, the campus outreach manager for SU Abroad. A variety of light refreshments and international food will be offered, as well as gifts courtesy of SU Abroad, according

to a news release from SU Abroad. “We’re trying to have this day for students to be able to interact with others that have been abroad and hear about their experiences,� Rodriguez said. “How they can adopt things that they’ve done and make their experiences their own, as well as develop themselves professionally and personally.� For some students, this event will be a first look into what traveling overseas entails.

barbershop some of the shop’s regulars, the sense of community they once felt is no longer prominent in that neighborhood — but Charleston aims to recapture that familial feeling. Tiffany Unscripted, a Syracuse native, came to the barbershop last weekend to have her hair buzzed off with her father. For both of them, the barbershop is a comfortable space — the shop reminds Unscripted of her own peaceful childhood, when her mother didn’t have to worry about her playing in the street. “It’s like a time capsule. When you step in here it’s like going back in time and you can reminisce,” Unscripted said. “You run into people you haven’t seen in years and it’s almost like the meeting place.” Her father, Nate Sistrunk, who is in his 80s, said the shop lets him ramble off about his stories — a key reason why he keeps coming back year after year. “Anybody can cut my hair, I used to have it flowing,” Sistrunk said, taking off his beanie and showing his freshly bald head. For the Alabama native, the sense of comfort he feels at the barbershop is more important than the actual haircut received.

artrage Lyons wrote. Bob Gates, a member of ArtRage’s board of directors and a former professor of English at Syracuse University, said he admires Greenlar’s dedication to his project. Gates is familiar with Greenlar’s work from his previous exhibition at ArtRage — a 10-year project that focused on the effects of the Vietnam War in Laos — along with his photography in The Post-Standard. “He immerses himself into the subject and that’s the only way to get really good photographs,” Gates said.

High School days. Linzy has taken his grandson, Gabriel Green, to the barbershop since he was six years old. But for Linzy, the role models that Green gains from being at barbershop are the most valuable. He said exposing Gabriel to positive mentors like Collins — a black business owner — reinforces the representation Linzy wants his grandson to see for himself. On occasion, Collins lets Green sweep up the hair in exchange for a tip. The two bond over baseball, since Green plays for the team Collins sponsors, and have since developed a mentorship relationship. Collins Barbershop & Beauty Shop has traditionally spotlighted family members in its annual calendar photo, but this year’s marks the first time the shop has spotlighted two nonfamily members. Solomon Lawrence and Myles Cherebin, valedictorians from the Institute of Technology at Syracuse Central’s Class of 2017 and Nottingham High School’s Class of 2018 respectively, were selected as a way to highlight youth role models in the community. Though Collins has heard customers say his barbershop feels like home, he doesn’t know exactly how. He thinks it comes down to comfort. “I don’t know what their home feels like,” Collins said, “but we want them to feel comfortable when they come here.” dianar@dailyorange.com

Financial aid counselors will also be available to help students better understand the different options they have available to help fund their trip, Rodriguez said. “In general, there tends to be more financial aid available then students are aware of,” said Erika Wilkens, the assistant provost and executive director of SU Abroad. “It’s important for students to get more education on what’s available.” For students who have already decided to study abroad, Thursday’s event will be the next step toward finalizing travel plans.

Salt City Burlesque troupe brings brilliance, talent to Valentine’s Day show By Brooke Kato

asst. digital editor

eads, pearls and rhinestones will make the Salt City Burlesque troupe sparkle when the group takes the stage at The Palace Theatre for a Sweet Valentease show. The night’s theme will pay tribute to Valentine’s Day, and the performers have been preparing for weeks, practicing their choreography and creating outfits. Talia Shenandoah — whose stage name is Harlow Holiday — makes her own clothing and accessories for performances by hand. She cuts, sews and glues, adding sparkle with pearls and rhinestones-- she said she can spend as long as 60 hours making the outfits. “My motto is to sparkle the entire world,� she said, with a laugh. Her stage name is a nod to old Hollywood glamour — think “Jean Harlow,� she said — and inspired by Madonna’s song “Holiday,� which she said celebrates life. Inspired by classic burlesque, Shenandoah and Christina Suchon started the burlesque troupe in 2015, after meeting at a benefit show. At the time, there was only one other burlesque troupe in the area, which Shenandoah said hadn’t been active in a while. So, they decided to create their own. Since then, the troupe has grown, and now holds performances with 12-18 acts at a handful of different venues throughout the year. They also invite performers from outside of Syracuse to headline shows. The headliner for Saturday’s show is Aria Delanoche, an award-winning burlesque performer hailing from Chicago and Montreal. She won the 2018 Burlesque Hall of Fame awards for “Most Classic� and “Best Debut,�

and is known as a “glimmer of light in the dark of night,� in the burlesque community. Shenandoah said that when headliners like Delanoche come they support the Salt City performers by offering feedback. Even on their own, Salt City performers always workshop as a team during post-show meetings to discuss what worked well, what didn’t work and how they can make acts better. The troupe has a family dynamic, Shenandoah said, and they bounce ideas off of each other. Their teamwork stretches beyond constructive critique, though — in the dressing room, they constantly help each other clip bras, glue on eyelashes and zip up dresses, said Eerie Rottica, a member of the troupe.

Rottica began at Salt City Burlesque as a stage kitten — someone who picks up after the performers on stage — but now, she’s a performer. She said burlesque is fitting for her because she’s always been a dramatic person. “I always get, like, a high after performing,� she said, adding that her “Howl-A-Ween� performance was her favorite because of the ovation she received when she came out of a coffin onstage. The troupe’s current stage kitten, Lola Amore, joined the company after singing at a Christmas performance

one year, saying the camaraderie drew her in. For many members of the troupe, the art of burlesque is empowering. “I think it’s an opportunity for men and women to be expressive with their bodies in alternate ways that we don’t see every day, in a safe community,� Amore said. Suchon — known by her stage name Mary Effen Sunshine — became intrigued by burlesque after watching a Netflix documentary. She said it allows her to express herself by portraying a different character, or thought, she has in mind. “It’s really fun dressing up and, you know, pretending to be somebody else, even if it’s only for three to five minutes,� she said. Her stage name, she said, was coined when someone told her to “look at the bright side� when she was facing a tough time in her life. Suchon told her friends to call her “Miss Mary Effen Sunshine,� and she’s gone by the name ever since, saying it matches her extreme and edgy performances. The troupe hopes more people are exposed to burlesque and attend their shows, said Shenandoah, because there are many misconceptions about what burlesque is. People think burlesque is just girls taking their clothes off, she said, but it’s more than that: it’s an art form. “There’s a lot of reclaiming power and sexuality in that. It’s not necessarily like, ‘I’m just going to take my clothes off,’� Shenandoah said. “There’s a whole art behind how I’m going to take my clothes off and how I’m going to entertain you and enthuse you while I do it.� Salt City Burlesque’s Sweet Valentease will be at The Palace Theatre on Saturday at 7 p.m. bnkato@syr.edu

Battle went all the way off a transition opportunity to finish lefty, then swished a righty floater. Brissett drove inside for an and-1. Buddy Boeheim hit two jumpers. Battle kept going, eventually hitting a 3 from the top and two free throws to close the half. The Carrier Dome crowd got back into the game, and less than eight minutes after trailing by 22, the Orange trailed by eight. “I knew once we were down by 20 we were gonna get back in the game at some point,” Battle said. Syracuse recovered from down 10 in South Bend, Indiana to beat Notre Dame. At thenNo. 1 Duke, the Orange trailed by 12 within minutes of tip-off before emerging on top in overtime. At home against Georgetown, the difference was as high as 15 early in the second half. Each time, SU answered with a big enough run to get ahead, and from there held off the opposition. But 22 points would be from page 12

shooting win against Pittsburgh on Jan. 17, SU has shot 93-of-267 from the field and 32-for-126 from beyond the 3-point arc. The poor shooting stretch has led to two-straight conference losses and close matchups with teams Syracuse ranks far above in the Atlantic Coast. “It’s hard to win that way,” junior Gabrielle Cooper said, “when you can’t put shots in the basket.” Against Duke and Virginia, teams with only two conference wins apiece, the Orange rarely squeaked out wins despite an inability to score. SU shot 20.7 percent in the first half

another level of comeback. Brissett opened the second-half scoring with a jumper, and the Orange kept chipping away. Battle stole a perimeter pass and flew in for two. Buddy hit a one-legged runner off glass, too. The deficit was six at the under-16 timeout. When Battle drove out of the first media break and found Brissett, the sophomore could’ve went up for a tricky shot inside. But instead he kicked crosscourt to Hughes, who knocked it down, and the difference was three. Brissett followed it up with a put back to get within one. From 22 down to one — a comeback that could’ve defined a season. From there, it was back and forth, with the Orange getting it back to a one-possession game again and again. Full-court pressure had brought SU back into the game, but the length of time Syracuse had to press wore on the Orange. Each one-possession margin would return to two, and FSU started to break the tight defense. “(The press) did get us in the game, but I don’t think we had enough gas left to finish,” Boeheim said. The Seminoles finally found the edge with one final spurt, as Syracuse ran out of juice. Hughes gave the ball away to Mann, who pushed the floor for a two-handed slam. A put back and then 3 followed from Mfiondu Kabengele to stretch the gap to 10 again. Soon, against the Blue Devils and went to the break with a five-point deficit. Though Syracuse’s large quantity of attempts with the 3-ball have looked to hold it back in recent games, Hillsman said the Orange has no intention of changing their gameplan. Since the beginning of the season, SU has stuck to one strategy. It would play fast, it would shoot more than the opponent and it would force mistakes on the defensive end to spawn more opportunities for offense. In road games, the Orange even shoot more 3s. Emily Engstler said that, since Syracuse’s shooters have seen opposing arena’s rims less often, they shoot more to familiarize them-

Syracuse came within one in the second half, but lost by 22 points. It would have been SU’s biggest comeback this year. alexandra moreo senior staff photographer

he swished another 3, unleashed a loud scream and flexed both arms. Syracuse had used all of its timeouts, so it couldn’t slow FSU. The home crowd, raucous a few minutes before, didn’t have the same life. And the Orange, which had fought almost all the way back, felt their energy drain. “We see them score, we don’t score and they score again,” Hughes said. “That’s just hard to

stay locked in and stay focused and keep getting stops. It became hard.” The Orange wouldn’t be within single digits again. Syracuse didn’t have another run. “Basketball’s a game of runs,” Battle said. “That’s exactly what this game was tonight. They made some runs, we made some runs and they ended up making the last run at the end.”

selves. The more shots, Engstler said, the quicker they adjust. When the shots don’t fall, SU does little to resist its attempts from the field. Hillsman said it’s just a matter of shooting out of slumps. Syracuse players have tried to find individual remedies. After Syracuse shot 23.9 percent from the field against Georgia Tech, multiple SU players shot 100 times each in an effort to dispel the struggles. Hillsman’s strategy for getting out of a shooting slump: eat your postgame meal, and go home. “We have good shooters. We have shooters who are very comfortable taking the same shots that we took in that game,” Hillsman said of the Georgia Tech game. “I feel very

confident if they get those shots again, they’ll hit those shots again.” But they didn’t. The Orange’s struggles continued after they lost to Georgia Tech. It sunk them once more against Miami, and it almost did so another time the ensuing game against Duke. Though the shooting struggles are something Syracuse needs to workshop, Hillsman said, he confidently declared there wasn’t a need to worry. The Orange would make the NCAA Tournament. As players and coaches juggled the blame, SU’s shots have continued to fall out of the net. “You live and you learn,” Cooper said. “Each game you try to get better.”

cuse was able to battle back and cut the lead to just two midway through the second half was because of FSU’s inability to control the ball.

Nothing went right for Frank Howard on Tuesday night. In the first half, he missed both his 3s and added a turnover as Florida State jumped out to a 22-point lead. He was subbed out and never returned until the second half, as Syracuse cut the once-large deficit to single digits. Howard, though, struggled to start the second half and was subbed out not three minutes in after back-to-back passes missed their intended target. He checked into the game but never shot again, finishing with zero points and three turnovers in 14 minutes.

The Syracuse 2-3 zone has been strong as of late, and Florida State entered the matchup ranked 239th in the country in 3-point shooting. It was a perfect recipe for an upset over another Top 25 team. But FSU kept on firing and kept on connecting. Leading by seven with just under eight minutes to play, Kabengele added back-to-back 3s to put the game out of reach. The Seminoles finished with a 50-percent clip from 3 in the win. csdistur@syr.edu | @charliedisturco

Takeaways from SU’s loss to Seminoles By Charlie DiSturco senior staff writer

TYUS BATTLE scored a game-high 23 points — 16 of which came in the first half — on Tuesday after an off-night against Pittsburgh last Saturday. Battle also had a pair of rebounds and steals against FSU. alexandra moreo senior staff photographer

RUN DOWN

Syracuse’s 22-point comeback against Florida State fell short midway through second half By Billy Heyen

senior staff writer

W

ith Syracuse’s walk-ons on the floor when Wednesday’s final buzzer sounded, Tyus Battle sat on the Syracuse bench for a few extra seconds. It had been mostly on him to try and make it back from a huge deficit, and he looked exhausted. He squirted a drink in his mouth, went to shake hands and was the last Syracuse player to head to the locker room — chin down, having done plenty, yet not enough. “I thought (Battle) and Elijah (Hughes) and Oshae (Brissett) did everything they could,� SU head coach Jim Boeheim said. In a game of runs, No. 22 Florida State (17-5, 5-4 Atlantic Coast) broke out first before Syracuse (16-7, 7-3)

responded. But in the end, FSU had one more run than the Orange and won, 80-62. It would’ve been the largest deficit the Orange came back from this season to win, but the comeback came up short. From down 22 to within one, SU couldn’t get over the final hump to complete the rally. “I thought the most amazing thing is they’re really good,� Boeheim said, “and we made an unbelievable effort to get back in it.� Syracuse took the early lead, 7-6. But then Florida State, which entered as a 33 percent shooting team beyond the arc, caught fire. The Seminoles hit six of their first eight 3-point attempts. The wings, the corners, from the top of the arc, it didn’t matter. Kicks to the post or drives created open looks, and FSU didn’t leave them on the table. A 27-5 run for FSU later, the Orange trailed 33-12. see seminoles page 10

No. 22 Florida State’s Trent Forrest drove inside the paint and lobbed the ball toward the left side of the hoop. Phil Cofer took a step before rising up and catching the ball, slamming it down to give the Seminoles a 16-point lead with under three minutes left. Cofer put the exclamation point on a night where Florida State could not miss. Despite turning the ball over 21 times, the Seminoles (17-5, 5-4 Atlantic Coast) shot an impressive 54.5 percent from the field, riding the hot hands of Terance Mann and Mfiondu Kabengele to an 80-62 win over Syracuse (16-7, 7-3) on Tuesday night. Only four players for Syracuse found the scoring column in the loss. Here are the superlatives from Syracuse’s loss.

Big Moment: Terance Mann’s breakaway dunk

With just under nine minutes remaining and Syracuse trailing by five, Elijah Hughes attempted to pass the ball toward Tyus Battle at the top of the key. But Forrest picked the ball off, passing it forward to Mann, alone on a breakaway. He rose and slammed it with two hands, pushing the Seminoles lead to nine. Syracuse managed to keep the game close for the majority of the second half despite trailing by 22 at one point, but Mann’s breakaway dunk took the life out of the Carrier Dome crowd.

Stud: Tyus Battle

After one of the worst games in his college career, Battle was nothing short of dominant against Florida State. In an up-and-down first half that featured a 27-5 FSU run and a 14-3 SU run, Battle was the only consistent player for the Orange. The junior finished with 16 first-

Battle is on Jerry West Watch List SU struggles during poor shooting stretch By Billy Heyen

senior staff writer

Syracuse’s Tyus Battle was named one of 10 shooting guards named to the Jerry West Award Watch List for the nation’s top player at that position. The award is presented at the end of the season by the NaiBATTLE smith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame. Battle was named to the same list of 10, a year ago as a sophomore. This season, the junior has slightly decreased his scoring load at 17.7 points per game.

But he’s raised his distribution, ranking second on the Orange (16-6, 7-2 Atlantic Coast) with 58 assists. Recently, SU sophomore Marek Dolezaj referred to Battle as Syracuse’s “starting machine.� Battle also continues to rise up through the all-time Syracuse leaderboards. He ranks 27th on the all-time SU scoring leaderboard, soon to pass program greats Louis Orr and Dwayne “Pearl� Washington. Battle also ranks 12th in Syracuse history in made 3-pointers. The ACC’s other representatives on the list of 10 are RJ Barrett (Duke), Kyle Guy (Virginia) and Nickeil Alexander-Walker (Virginia Tech). The other nominees are Jarron Cumberland

(Cincinnati), Justin WrightForeman (Hofstra), Quinndary Weatherspoon (Mississippi State), Jarrett Culver (Texas Tech), Phil Booth (Villanova) and Jaylen Nowell (Washington). This will be the fifth spring the West Award is given out. The prior four winners are Purdue’s Carsen Edwards, Kentucky’s Malik Monk, Oklahoma’s Buddy Hield and Ohio State’s D’Angelo Russell. The award winner will be announced at The College Basketball Awards in Los Angeles on April 12. Battle and the Orange are back in action Saturday, Feb. 9 against Boston College. wmheyen@syr.edu @wheyen3

By Michael McCleary sports editor

Player and coaches — everyone wanted to take the blame. When asked about Syracuse’s shooting struggles in its 84-71 loss to Miami, SU head coach Quentin Hillsman patted his chest as he rose from his chair and walked out of the press room. The Orange shot 28-of-77 from the field, including a paltry 5-for-32 from 3-point range. But Hillsman said that’s on him. He needs to find his players open space. He needs to get them better looks. He needs to give them the confidence to put them down.

Hillsman proclaimed that when SU needs a leader, he’s the one who should step up. But two minutes later, as SU players graced the podium, Kiara Lewis placed the responsibility on herself and her teammates. SU’s shooting struggles have come without reason. But as it continues its worst offensive stretch of the season — it hasn’t scored more than 80 points since Jan. 20 — it can only blame one thing: its shooting. No. 15 Syracuse (17-4, 6-2 Atlantic Coast) has been handicapped by poor shooting over its recent stretch of ACC games. Since the Orange’s conference see shooting page 12
