Group to hold forum on issues Second annual Cuse Conference will address issues that affect students

By Nina Leeds staff writer

The 2016 Cuse Conference, an event aimed at bringing together members of the Syracuse University community to address issues that affect students, is tentatively scheduled to be held on April 24.

The Student Association announced at its meeting last Monday that the conference, which is the second of its kind, would be taking place again this spring. Nicole Sherwood, external chair of public relations for SA, which is in charge of planning the event, said the organization is planning to have a similar format to last year’s Cuse Conference.

CROSSROADS Officials weigh in on potential merger of city, county

ore than 80 communit y members — about one-quarter of them standing behind the mostly filled five rows of folding chairs — gathered inside the Southwest Community Center in Syracuse on a Monday night.

Attendees of the Feb. 8 town hall meeting were fixated on a projected screen displaying the state of municipal operations in the Syracuse-Onondaga County area. The area includes 19 town courts and nine village courts that are funded locally and, in 2013, cost taxpayers $18.3 million. The average deficit of court operations in the area adds up to $54,000 with a cumulative total of $1.4 million.

Melanie Littlejohn, a representative from the citizen

group Consensus, presented a PowerPoint slide to seek feedback about a report the group released in January that made a controversial recommendation: merging the city of Syracuse and Onondaga County.

The group, composed of legislators and community members, issued “Options Report and Preliminary Committee Recommendations” in late January.

In it the group recommended creating a new city-county government that would allow towns and villages to “opt-in” to the new government. The 83-page report also listed challenges and made 51 recommendations on five different categories: infrastructure, public safety, municipal operations, economic development and governance.

Some of the recommendations include consolidation of the Syracuse Police Department and the Onondaga County Sheriff’s Office, unification of village

and town courts to establish a regional court system and development of purchasing and training agreements.

$20 million The amount of government spending that could be reduced by bridging administrative services between the city of Syracuse and Onondaga County

Since the release of the report, Consensus has held town hall meetings both in and outside Syracuse to explain what is in the report and solicit feedback from community members.

At the Feb. 8 meeting, some community members in the audience expressed deep concerns about whether the consolidation would generate any benefit to the community.

“How is the consolidation

of libraries actually helping and having benefits of Syracuse and its surrounding areas?” a woman asked.

“The idea of saving a couple hundred dollars and merging a county system doesn’t mean all that much … the big issues are economy, poverty and jobs,” a man said.

Another man said the merger would diminish the power to represent Syracuse, adding that the people in the city would suffer.

Yusuf Abdul-Qadir, an attendee and director of New York Civil Liberties Union, said that while he agrees with some recommendations and disagrees with others, his main critique of the commission’s report is that it does not address specifically or explicitly the issues of Syracuse’s high concentration of poverty among minority groups.

The number of key issues the Student Association has identified on the university’s campus

“We really want to have a lot of top administrators, faculty, as well as students from all different schools and organizations come to really come together to talk about some of the main issues on campus and with the Syracuse community,” Sherwood said.

Last year’s Cuse Conference brought in high ranking officials in the SU administration, such as Chancellor Kent Syverud.

At last year’s Cuse Conference, SA identified eight issues of large concern on campus and held panels on the following topics: • Student-to-Student Accountability for Sexual Consent • Imaginary Borders: Campus vs.

Community Safety • 21st Century Values and Traditions in 20th Century Institutions • Restructuring RSO system and Student Engagement • Multidisciplinary and Extracurricular Academia • Curing and Caring: Health and Wellness Alternatives • Defining Diversity and Inclusivity • Empowering Student Governance Sherwood said some of the issues talked about last year will

SU junior became a raw vegan overnight

By Sarah Kinzler contributing writer

Nearly one year ago, Ethan Tyo traded fast food for fruits, veggies and 7 a.m. workouts. Now, 100 pounds lighter, Tyo said he is happier, more confident and seeking to inspire and enlighten people about healthy nutritional choices.

Tyo, a junior information management and technology major, said he was weary and dissatisfied with his past lifestyle. He decided to become a raw vegan overnight, switching to a diet of only uncooked and unprocessed foods containing no animal products.

“The first few weeks were crazy, but then after that I felt phenomenal,” Tyo said.

From a young age, Tyo was told from doctors that he was likely to have health issues such as obesity, heart disease and diabetes due to his family history and lifestyle. When Ethan made his lifestyle change, he said he didn’t think about losing weight — he just wanted to be healthier.

Growing up on a small reservation in New York, Tyo said his family did not know much about nutrition and simply bought whatever was inexpensive and

tasted good.

Tyo’s health kick started when he bought his own juicer and began experimenting with fruit and vegetable combinations. He began learning about nutrition through blogs and active YouTubers.

Many of his pizza-loving friends have questioned the amount of options available for raw vegans. However, Tyo said he looks at his lifestyle as a creative outlet and fun challenge. Diversity in his food is never a problem, since he creates new foods and recipes for himself every day.

Tyo began posting his foods and mason jar-packed juices on Instagram, where he now has nearly 5,400 followers. Next, he wants to get more people involved with his carefully made vegan creations with possibly a blog or YouTube channel. By advocating important health changes online, he hopes to rebuild some of what he sees on campus today in terms of healthy options.

“The lifestyle I have now has liberated me from my past and has helped me grow,” Tyo said. “I’m fitter — I’m more in shape than I have ever been in my life.” sekinzle@syr.edu

Winners chosen in business competition

By Matthew Gutierrez staff writer

Two days before starting the Entrepreneurship Bootcamp for Veterans with Disabilities (EBV) program at Cornell University, Paul Kilgore was diagnosed with prostate cancer — for the second time.

But after a 21-year career in the United States military, Kilgore wasn’t going to let anything stop him from starting a successful business.

He used his diagnosis as motivation to begin working on ways to make his upstate New York brewing company, WAORGANY, a reality.

After completing nine days of an entrepreneurship program at

Cornell University, he was ready to write a 30-plus-page business plan that would soon help him win second place in a business plan competition and a $20,000 prize.

1,200

The number of veterans that have received help from the Entrepreneurship Bootcamp for Veterans since its inception in 2007

“Cancer made me realize life’s too short, tomorrow may never come, you need to do what you’re passionate about and I’ve

dreamed about this for a while,” he said. “You need to make it happen now, rather than later, because later may never come.”

The program that helped him — EBV — was founded by Syracuse University’s Institute for Veterans and Military Families (IVMF). Since its inception in 2007, EBV has helped more than 1,200 veterans across 10 institutions acquire skills and knowledge needed to start their businesses, according to its website.

Earlier this month, SU’s IVMF hosted its third annual D’Aniello Family Foundation Business Plan Competition in Charlotte, North Carolina, providing more than

$110,000 to a field of 10 finalists.

No SU EBV graduates advanced to the final rounds of the competition.

The D’Aniello Family’s sponsorship helps IVMF better provide mentorship and services to veterans, such as accounting, legal and marketing counsel, said Tina Kapral, director of entrepreneurship programs at SU IVMF. Daniel D’Aniello, co-founder of the private equity firm Carlyle Group, graduated from SU in 1968 and has donated millions to veteran programs. Earlier this year, D’Aniello donated $1 million to IVMF at SU. “There wouldn’t be a business plan competition without the see competition page 6

Syracuse University is continuing its recycling efforts by participating in RecycleMania, an 8-week competition with participation from more than 100 colleges and universities across the United States and Canada.

The schools involved send weekly reports on the amount of recycling and trash used on campus and are then ranked based on their findings, according to the RecycleMania website. The rankings are based on which schools recycle the most per capita, which schools have the best recycling rate and which schools generate the least amount of combined trash and recycling.

Students at the participating colleges and universities are encouraged to reduce and recycle more as each week’s rankings are updated, according to the website.

Melissa Cadwell, marketing manager of SU’s Sustainability Division, said the purpose of participating in this competition is to “bring awareness to the campus community about the importance of recycling.”

Recycling is important, she said, because it allows manufacturers to use recycled material when making new items, packaging or products instead of using virgin material,

Students to participate in global conference

By Arva Hassonjee staff writer

Three Syracuse University students will be presenting a project this spring at a conference that will bring together students from around the world to discuss global issues.

The students will present Project S.C.I. (Sustainability, Creativity and Innovation) at the Clinton Global Initiative University Conference (CGI U) at the University of California, Berkeley in April.

The project, an environmental and educational initiative started in October, aims to improve waste management on SU’s campus and help

elementary students at local schools.

The three students involved in the project are Jezrel Sabaduquia, a sophomore in the School of Information Studies; Jannatulmawa Mizan, a freshman engineering and computer science major; and Yue Yun Zhu, a sophomore in the College of Arts and Sciences.

The students — who all attended Aviation High School in Long Island — collect water bottles and cans at residence halls, clean them and take them to local elementary schools to teach mostly third and fourth graders how to build model airplanes, Sabaduquia said.

The students bring markers and

crayons so that the kids can express themselves creatively while being introduced to engineering, technology and math at a very basic level.

“We want to teach kids to think productively and out of the box,” Mizan added.

Sabaduquia said that he, Mizan and Zhu started the project in part because of Syracuse’s high poverty rate and its “subpar education system,” which he said is a consequence of the city’s poverty rate.

“We wanted to inspire kids to follow their passions,” he added.

Sabaduquia used the initiative to complete a six-week long project last year in “IST 195: Introduction

to Information Technologies.” The project’s objective was to take an entrepreneurial idea and find ways that technology can help enhance the idea, said Jeff Rubin, an associate professor of practice in SU’s iSchool.

All three students are certified aircraft technicians, Sabaduquia said. He added that he “wanted to integrate his background in STEM” with his majors in the iSchool and the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications.

Mizan, who is studying to be an aerospace engineer, said she is exploring how to construct Project S.C.I. physically and conceptually. see project page 8

gender and sexuality

‘Deadpool’ sequel could bring pansexuality to the mainstream

D

efying industry expectations with a subtly LGBTQ hero, “Deadpool” has just grossed more than one of the most arguably masculine and heteronormative movies of all time, “X-Men Origins: Wolverine.” This success points to the better representation of sexuality that fans, and even Ryan Reynolds, have been pushing for all along.

Reynolds, who plays the title character, announced his acceptance of Deadpool’s pansexuality in the comic book at a New York film screening earlier this month. Pansexuality describes a romantic and sexual attraction that is not based on biological sex or gender identity, and ultimately suits Deadpool, who doesn’t fit the “superhero norm.”

The comments have since brought the conversation about sexuality to the mainstream heading into the film’s sequel, leaving fans to question whether or not pansexuality will be accurately represented in the installment.

Regardless of Deadpool’s sexual partner, having Reynolds, an actor who traditionally plays masculine characters, portray Deadpool, a member of the LGBTQ community, is a huge stride toward inclusion in the media.

The film plays into the expectation of a Hollywood action movie in terms of its violent nature and its adherence to using sex to sell.

Yet it pushes boundaries in how its advertisement campaigns mocked traditional gender norms and used Reynolds’ masculinity to break down the normal stereotype of LGBTQ characters.

“I love that about Deadpool,” Reynolds said at the red carpet screening, as reported by Variety. “I love that he can break any bound-

FAVORING FLUIDITY

ary. In the future, I hope we get to do more.”

Reynold’s outlook is a progressive one, considering the movie adaptation focuses on a heterosexual relationship between Deadpool and his girlfriend Vanessa Carlysle. But the fact that Reynolds acknowledged Deadpool is not straight comes as an incredibly positive change in the thoroughly heteronormative world that is superhero movies.

“There’s veiled references to it in this film,” said producer Simon Kinberg in an interview with Variety. “It’s in the DNA of the character.”

In your average superhero movie, you can expect to see the straight, hypermasculine, macho man conquer the villain and win the heart of the stereotypical feminine woman. Batman and Rachel Dawes, Spiderman and Mary Jane Watson, and Superman and Lois Lane are prime examples.

“In terms of on-screen representation, Hollywood has historically privileged a certain construction of Anglo-American, middle-class, Protestant masculinity, a white and ostensibly straight figure,” said Will Scheibel, an assistant professor of English in Syracuse University’s College of Arts and Sciences, in an email. “The problem, though, is less with superhero movies than with industry politics across the board.”

While Batwoman, Catwoman and Nyssa Al Ghul are visible queer characters,

sexuality erasure is fear of higher film ratings, but this is ultimately not fact.

“The invisibility of LGBTQ characters in superhero films has less to do with MPAA (Motion Picture Association of America) standards and more to do with Hollywood playing it ‘safe’ in most commercial genres, sticking with formulas and characters that have a track record for success,” said Scheibel. “I think there is the assumption that traditional moviegoers won’t accept a superhero who is not straight.”

Clearly, the fact that “Deadpool” has made nearly $200 million in the United States alone since its release begs to differ.

Deadpool’s relationship with a woman hardly negates his proclaimed sexuality. But there’s a demand for pansexual visibility by the LGBTQ community, as he is one of the few representatives that do have the ability to be seen as the star of their own movie.

As mentioned by Reynolds in an interview with Variety, it would be nice if Deadpool had an on-screen boyfriend at some point.

So, although the comic book world has traditionally been more LGBTQ-inclusive, it seems that the ever-changing world of film has a long way to go. But with so much potential for sequels, “Deadpool” fans eagerly await to see whether or not we will finally move away from superhero flicks’ heterosexual norm.

Your move Hollywood.

few-to-none are notable, let alone have their own movie. And while any sort of leap toward visibility can be considered a win for the community, the fact that the few non-straight characters are almost exclusively created for the enjoyment of consumers that are men is problematic. We see a trend of lesbian superheroes, but rarely gay male ones, which reinforces the point that a woman’s sexual identity depends on a man’s validation.

On the other hand, despite their ridiculous sexual depiction of women, comic books seeming to outrank their movie adaptations when it comes to the LGBTQ inclusivity. Yet even if there hasn’t been a lot of change in regard to the type of protagonists we see, there has been a change in how we see them.

“Superhero films also trade in a lot of homoerotic imagery and subtexts that are open to queer and camp interpretations,” said Scheibel. “Audiences and fans have helped diversify the genre in their readings and practices, sometimes latching onto a marginal element of a film that becomes of central importance to their mode of identification.”

While there is hope for the sequel, “Deadpool,” despite being awesome, in the midst of its gratuitous violence, only focused on a heterosexual relationship — a common trend of straight-washing within superhero films.

We can also see this phenomenon demonstrated with upcoming release of “Suicide Squad.” The movie, which comes out this August, features Harley Quinn, but fails to include Poison Ivy, a character who is the confirmed girlfriend of the ever-devious Quinn.

‘Master key’ could compromise privacy Measures could counter sexual assault culture

T

here has been a backand-forth since the 1980s between the government and private companies about how much access the former should have — for the sake of public security — to the advanced technologies companies have been producing.

While there have been some public quarrels, the most important fight to date is about to take place.

When a federal judge ordered Apple to assist the FBI in cracking the phone of Syed Farook, she didn’t just say, “let the authorities in through the back door,” she essentially said, “you need to make a master key so they can go in through the front door whenever they want.”

It’s a demand that Apple has already said it will fight hard, and it should. I’m all for national security, but not when it’s going to put the privacy of millions of iPhone users worldwide in question.

The government needs Apple to unlock the phone of Farook, a suspected terrorist in the San Bernardino attack who was killed by police shootout, because San Bernardino County officials reset his iCloud account password. If they hadn’t reset the password, Apple says they would be able to access the phone’s backup without a master key.

Because Apple has assisted law enforcement as many as 70 times, according to The Daily Beast, helping them is not the problem.

The issue is that what the FBI is asking is unprecedented.

Lee McKnight, an associate professor in Syracuse University’s School of Information Studies, said that if Apple complies with the judge’s demands, they will open a can of worms that has farreaching implications.

“Other governments are all going to be watching this case,” McKnight said. “They are asking Apple to make a new custom ver-

PAUL SARCONI

STUFF THAT WOULD BLOW CAVEMEN’S MINDS sion of the iOS. Once they have that, it could work with any other iPhone 6 in the world. It’s like the generalized master key.”

That means any government could call on Apple to provide them with the master key if they state it’s for national security reasons. The company’s CEO Tim Cook said in an email to customers that this is not something Apple is comfortable doing.

“Compromising the security of our personal information can ultimately put our personal safety at risk,” Cook said in the email. “That is why encryption has become so important to all of us. For many years, we have used encryption to protect our customer’s data because we believe it’s the only way to keep their information safe.”

The number of times Apple has assisted law enforcement, according to The Daily Beast

This also means that once a master key is created, it brings into picture the possibility of a holy grail for hackers. Given the amount of security breaches on U.S. government departments, I’m not confident this will stay under the authority’s control.

Privacy, now more than ever, needs to be considered a valuable commodity. That, of course, is harder to defend when the public perception is that you are safeguarding the privacy of a suspected terrorist. The reality of the situation is that Apple is protecting the

information of us all, but they have just been put in a tough situation.

If the FBI asked Apple to only hack Farook’s phone, this would be a much different situation. But, instead, they are asking for something that oversteps the hard-to-see boundary that exists between national security and public privacy.

Ultimately, this could be a fight that could go all 12 rounds.

“What I would be predicting is that this will be in the courts until at least next year,” McKnight said.

“It could really end up before the grand Supreme Court.”

That means the death of Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia could play heavily into the Supreme Court’s final decision.

Whoever the new justice is, their stance on privacy versus security may decide what will be an extremely important case.

If a master key is created, everyone with a smartphone loses a little bit of security. If Apple has to make one, why wouldn’t companies like Samsung have to also?

This is just one question in a sea of many that will arise is Apple loses.

Considering our increasing dependence on phones and the massive amounts of financial and personal information we put on them, that’s a scary proposition.

Effectively combatting sexual assault on college campuses involves more than legislation — it requires a greater cultural change on behalf of institutions and campus communities alike.

Last week, Syracuse University became the first large private university to endorse the Campus Accountability and Safety Act, a U.S. Senate bill that would require colleges and universities to survey students’ experiences with sexual assault and publish the findings, according to a summary of the bill published on the Congress website.

The act would also authorize federal penalties on institutions that fail to follow Title IX requirements concerning sexual violence, as outlined in the bill’s summary.

SU has done a respectable job creating a campus climate in which sexual assault is generally understood as a violation that is not tolerated. But sexual violence unfortunately still takes place regardless, and the university — and higher education as a whole — should work to make for a healthier attitude toward rape culture by consistently demonstrating visible and tangible measures that surpass legislation alone.

The significance of this perception is reinforced by the high rates of assault experienced by college students, considering 21 percent of female students and 7 percent of male students experience sexual assault on average during their undergraduate years, according to a recent study from the Bureau of Justice Statistics.

Despite the numerous pieces of legislation that legally ban it on school grounds in addition to local, state and federal policies, sexual assault is still prevalent.

However, targeting the situations and behaviors that can lead up to sexual assault is instrumental in fostering a culture in which this violence is unacceptable and can

ultimately be prevented.

These initiatives can even begin before a student steps on campus through the reform of programs like “Think About It,” an online course aimed to prepare students for the challenges of college life, including pressures regarding drug use and sexual interactions. Often, the program is perceived as a chore for students to click through in order to move into university housing and can be made more powerful if it was simplified to be more impactful and engaging for students.

The study and SU’s endorsement of the bill comes as a former Harvard University student has filed a lawsuit claiming that school officials failed to take her allegations of sexual assault and stalking by another student seriously.

Alyssa Leader, who graduated from the Ivy League school in 2015, said the school forced her to live in the same dorm as her alleged abuser.

The lawsuit is a prime example of a lapse in judgment on behalf of the institution and the failure to bring about action that preserves the well-being of students — a situation SU can avoid through tangible measures that support a greater campus framework of countering sexual assault.

Endorsing anti-sexual assault legislation is a progressive move for universities seeking to do their part in administratively curbing sexual violence and is a valuable tool in holding institutions accountable in releasing these statistics. But legislation alone doesn’t stop some from having an attitude of entitlement in regard to other people and their bodies, and it should be remembered that powerful reforms against sexual violence have the potential to make their mark within institutions and grow to be reciprocated throughout the community.

merger solution we have from the lens of that, then I think we are doing a disservice,” Abdul-Qadir said. “But that being said, I think we need to talk about what the vision for our communities moving forward. If we are talking about consolidation, then what will it look like and we as a community need to be pushing forward what that will look like.”

Data from the United States Census Bureau shows 34.6 percent of the population in Syracuse lived below the poverty level between 2009 and 2013. Syracuse also has the highest rates of poverty among blacks and Hispanics in the U.S. Syracuse’s progress report in economic development has been in the lower ranks.

The Brookings Institution, a Washington, D.C.-based think tank, released a report in January that ranked several economic characteristics of the U.S.’s 100 largest metro areas from 2009 to 2014. The institution ranked Syracuse 95th in economic growth, 57th in prosperity and 86th in inclusion among the 100 largest metro areas.

Economic inclusion is a measure of whether the economic growth raises standards of living for all people, according to the report.

William Coplin, the director of the public affairs program in the Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs at Syracuse University, said he is unsure whether the merger would be successful.

“The problem with Onondaga County attracting business is because it’s in New York state, so fixing the county will be marginal,” Coplin said.

The Consensus report highlighted local governments that spend more than $100 million on “redundant” services overlapping between Syracuse and Onondaga County. According to the report, 20 out of 35 towns and villages within the county “could be in a deficit” in the next decade.

Minchin Lewis, an adjunct professor of public administration and international affairs in the Maxwell School, said the individual governments in the county are not fiscally sustainable.

He also warned that unless the city of Syracuse does something dramatically different in resolving the fiscal situation, the state will appoint a financial control board for the city.

“The report starts with the statement of what the need is, and the need basically is the fact that there has not been any economic development over the past 40 years, and secondly that our local governments are facing uncertain future,” Lewis said.

By bridging overlapping administrative services, according to the report, government spending can be reduced by as much as $20 million immediately.

competition D’Aniello Family Foundation’s generous sponsorship,” Kapral said.

In December, 48 veterans — including some SU EBV graduates — submitted their business plans for consideration in the competition, Kapral said. A few weeks later, 10 were selected to advance to the semifinal round at IVMF’s EBV National Training & Alumni Conference. The finalists spoke to an audience of 300 people to give a final 90-second pitch.

Warren Foster, a 2015 graduate of the EBV program at the University of California, Los Angeles, won first place. He took home $35,000 for his business Science Playhouse, a hands-on science lab providing STEM education and enrichment programs for kids ages 6-12 in Colorado. The idea came to him when he saw his kids working with popsicle sticks for a physics project. He said he wanted more kids to be exposed to STEM at any early age.

Entering the EBV program, both Kilgore and Foster said all they needed was some guid-

Mahoney said at an early February civic event that the general concerns from those opposing the consolidation are that they do not want to pay for the city.

She pointed out, though, that in the $192 million city budget, almost $85 million derives from county sales tax — while $34 million is from city property tax and $75 million is from state unrestricted aid to municipalities.

“If you are a county resident — whether you live in a city or outside of the city — you have a lot of your tax dollars inside the city budget right now,” Mahoney said.

The Consensus report, however, does not provide a blueprint as to what a potentially merged government would look like and how it will be created.

David Rubin, dean emeritus and professor of communications in the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications, said he sees the report as an attempt to get central New Yorkers to think about and embrace changes.

Rubin added that the merging would be exceedingly difficult under the current New York state legal system.

“I think that to change the New York state law and change the New York State Constitution — these things are possible but they’d take a long time and be very politically divisive,” Rubin said.

Bea González, a member of Consensus and dean of SU’s University College, said the discussion regarding potential consolidation is about modernizing government. She added that the merger is merely one solution instead of the solution.

Even if a legal framework for the consolidation were prepared, a path toward realization may remain steep.

For example, the city of Buffalo and Erie County in New York state sought to possibility merge in 2005. The initiative crumbled before any legislation was voted on, according to Syracuse.com.

A merger between the city of Louisville and Jefferson County in Kentucky took three attempts in referendums — in 1956, 1982 and 1983 — before approved through a referendum in 2000.

Linda Ervin, floor leader and representative for the 17th district in the Onondaga County Legislature, said people are afraid of the idea of the consolidation because they don’t know what is taking place and think it will happen overnight, with them being left out.

Ervin said she expects there should be some changes in a government structure within a decade.

Littlejohn, a representative from Consensus, said feedback from the town hall meetings will be factored into the final report — which is expected to be published some time in late April or early May — and future discussions on the merger. ssugiyam@syr.edu | @SatoshiJournal

ance to turn their passion into a business.

Neil Tarallo, Cornell’s EBV program director, worked with Kilgore in October 2014. The programs consist of online work and a nine-day residency, during which veterans stay on campus for 10- and 12-hour days of workshops. Programs are held on 10 campuses around the country, including SU. “It’s quite an extensive program,” Kilgore said. “They’re taking you from knowing nothing about running a business to actually being able to walk out of there not having your business plan written, but knowing exactly all the pieces that need to go into it.”

Foster said the program is like “trying to squeeze an MBA into a week.”

Tarallo used to tell veterans that the program is “like you’re drinking water of a fire hydrant,” Kilgore said. But the challenges of running a profitable business are nothing compared to those found on the battlefields, Kilgore added.

Kapral recalled an instance when a veteran in EBV approached her and said, “I’m not getting shot at today, this is nothing compared to that.” mguti100@syr.edu

SUNY-ESF officer participates in training program to remove bias

By Taylor Watson staff Writer

A police officer from SUNY-ESF recently completed a training program used in Ferguson, Missouri, designed to prevent officers from exhibiting bias.

Lt. Robert Dugan, an officer of the State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry University Police Department, participated in the Fair and Impartial Policing (FIP) training program. The training program took place in Syracuse and involved 24 officers from throughout the SUNY system, according to the release.

FIP training provides officers with tools to help them recognize their conscious and implicit biases and implement controlled, unbiased behavioral responses, said Paul Berger, the SUNY University Police Commissioner who brought the program to the SUNY system.

The program is done through lecture and interactive exercises, Dugan said in an email.

“The FIP training helps police officers understand that even well-intentioned people have biases,” Dugan said. “It helps us under-

stand how implicit biases impact what we perceive and the impact that can have on what we do in our jobs.”

The FIP training program was introduced to Berger in 2014 while he was attending a policing conference, he said. There, he said he recognized the value it could have for SUNY police, as they work in an environment that entails a lot of contact with community members.

“Over the past few years, law enforcement as a profession has found an unusual level of scrutiny,” Berger said. “I have been a firm believer in community policing and want to make sure SUNY maintains its focus on community policing to provide the best possible service.”

The FIP program is new for SUNY police. It was made available to the entire SUNY system because Berger said he wanted to make sure every officer had access to the program.

The SUNY training session was completed in mid-January and lasted three days. Training took place at the Genesee Grande Hotel on East Genesee Street, Berger said.

The program was lead by Lt. Col. JoAnn Johnson from the Illinois State Police Division of Internal Investigation and Anna Laszlo, managing partner and chief operating officer of Fair and Impartial Policing LLC, according to the release.

The SUNY FIP session was to “train-thetrainer,” where officers learn to implement the

recruit, patrol, supervisor and command level curriculums in their own agencies, Berger said.

The FIP training helps police officers understand that even well-intentioned people have biases.

“The pool of officers consisted of various ranks, but there was not a representative for each SUNY campus,” Berger said. “We knew we would have to work together regionally to deliver the program to all campuses.”

Officers who received the training gained experience reciprocating the material during the program, so they will be prepared to train the 600 officers throughout the SUNY system, Berger said. He hopes to have all officers trained in FIP before the end of the calendar year.

“After the training, officers understand that fair and impartial policing leads to effective policing,” Dugan said.

FIP has served not only the SUNY system, but also clients in Baltimore; Philadelphia; and Sanford, Florida, according to the release. tnwatson@syr.edu

‘House of Cards’ advertises better than presidential candidates

D

uring a Republican debate last December, President Francis Underwood won the night with his Reagan-esque campaign ad, which broke up the monotony of real Super PAC attack ads and candidate-endorsed messages.

Though these fictional ads were only onscreen during episodes of Netflix’s “House of Cards,” the show has started

KYLE STEVENS

JUST LIKE, MY OPINION MAN spreading the Democratic president’s campaign in the real world.

A campaign office opened in in Greenville, South Carolina under Underwood’s

name last week. Painted banners and billboards around the country bear Underwood’s name and his faux slogans: “Anything for America,” “Whatever it Takes” and my personal favorite, “Inequality, Dishonesty and Entitlement.”

Netflix normally advertises itself as a whole, showing compilations of its original programs and the other shows and movies it streams. But as one of Netflix’s biggest symbols of achievement, “House of Cards” has earned its own advertising. This political drama was the first Netflix original to take off, and every other show since owes its funding to its success.

However, the main reason Underwood gets ad money to spend is because the plot matches the current election cycle so well. Season three ended just before the 2016 New Hampshire Primary, and season four will likely feature the election throughout its 13 chapters. So, it makes perfect sense to advertise the show and Underwood himself like he’s a real life candidate. Even his website, FU2016.com, easily passes as a real campaign website — it has merchandise and a better social media presence than real candidates.

The show also lucked out with the insanity of this election. Lots of ideologues and underdogs are winning.

Putting Frank into the spotlight of this

election begs the question: How would President Underwood be fairing against this crop of candidates? He has the power and intensity to match the fist-fight Republicans are in, plus a reputation as a Democrat who can compromise to get things done. You’d have to imagine that he would destroy any of these remaining candidates in a debate.

Francis vs. Bernie Sanders, Francis vs. Donald Trump, Francis vs. Ted Cruz — none of them come close to striking the fear in you the way Underwood does.

“House of Cards” already has a Warren Buffett character in Raymond Tusk, and a Vladimir Putin knock off in Victor Petrov, so don’t be surprised if a large, rich, orange, buffoonish character joins the race this season. It would be interesting to see Netflix go all out and buy ad space for all of the fake candidates. But doing so for Underwood is still a perfect way to market the show, especially as its popularity in TV culture remains high.

Whether or not the story was planned to match the real life election cycle does not matter. The people behind the promotion of the fourth season of “House of Cards,” which returns to Netflix March 4, have taken full advantage of a perfect opportunity.

from page 9

But at the end of the day, Seely said “stupid always does well,” meaning that readers enjoy the ludicrous soundbites uttered by Trump on the campaign trail.

However, the concept of found poetry often raises the question: Is it really poetry?

Seely’s book falls under the classification of this kind of writing. Found poetry is the arranging of phrases and words on a page to create poems. Bruce Smith, an English professor at Syracuse University said in an email that this type of poetry can lead to uncreative writing.

“Hart Seely’s work collects and arranges the essential ramblings and idiocy and racist, sexist, self-inflated pomposity of Trump and calls it poetry. It’s funny. It’s sad,” Smith said.

Seely described the process as “arranging the words on the page and giving it a pretentious title.” He admitted he doesn’t see the book as poetry, despite the title of the work.

He prefers to view it as political satire.

“And with a candidate like Trump, the only true satire is his actual words,” Seely said.

Seely recalled a frequently asked question: Will the book be a help or hindrance to Trumps presidential bid? But Seely said he doesn’t think it will do either of those things.

Votes aren’t changed by marching in the street or by commenting online, he said. The only way to change a vote is to get up close and personal with a candidate to discuss their views, Seely said.

“If you change one or two votes in an election year, then I think you’ve had an impact. I think there are better tactics than condemnation,” Seely said.

As to whether there will be a second book, Seely said he is unsure.

Peyer said the editor is unstoppable and will work around the clock no matter what the job. But he also added that people like Trump go off the script. It would be hard to create a similar project with other candidates because, like machines, they churn out pre-prepared speeches.

Seely echoed this sentiment, citing Trump’s competitor Marco Rubio. In recent debates, Rubio has been criticized for sticking too closely to the script. After further thought, he suggested that someone should examine the words of Jim Boeheim.

Said Seely: “I just think that things like this are what win the war sometimes.”

trump complete the book. He amassed 400 chunks of wisdom before whittling it down to the 200 pieces that made the final product.

This type of work is not new to the former reporter for The Post Standard. Seely has produced two books of quotes before, collecting the ramblings of former Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld and baseball announcer Phil Rizzuto.

Tom Peyer, a Syracuse-based comic book writer, worked with Seely on the Rizzuto project. He frequently offered help and advice while Seely slaved over the Trump transcriptions.

“When you’re writing fiction, you’re always starting with a blank page, but with this kind of work, you’re just fishing for quotes,” Peyer said. “You never start with a blank page or that fear and misery.”

The biggest challenge of a project like this is keeping your eyes peeled for the perfect “nugget,” Peyer said.

Nick’s Tomato Pie’s pizza falls flat, excels with meatball sub

Nick’s Tomato Pie is a pizza restaurant in Armory Square. Inside, the shop has a large pizza oven and a portion of the kitchen visible where customers can watch the workers prepare dough for the crust. kelli mosher staff photographer

By Casey Russell staff writer

I

n the never-ending search for the best alternative to dining hall pizza, I tried a small shop called Nick’s Tomato Pie. The restaurant is located centrally in Armory Square, across from Syracuse Suds Factory and just off the corner of South Clinton Street, where Syracuse staples Funk ‘n Waffles and Modern Malt are located.

Looking at the outside of the restaurant, I wasn’t exactly overwhelmed by its curb appeal. The storefront is modest, but has some cute Christmas lights lining the awning. The black paneling with wide windows definitely fits the 1920s architecture rampant in downtown Syracuse. But nothing particularly struck me or made me say, “Wow, that’s cool.” Granted, it is just a pizza place.

Walking inside, I noticed the restaurant was divided into two rooms. The front door leads into an open space with a cash register, a counter for single-slice pies and a huge pizza oven. The two people working at the time had an enormous amount of pizza dough on a rolling cart, probably about to be shaped into pizza crust.

I ordered a serving of medium buffalo wings, a slice of mushroom pizza and a meatball sub. The wings were disappointing, for sure. They looked like they had been sitting out for a while, because they probably had.

The guy working told me that the wings were part of a lunch special, so I assume that the wings I was eating were the leftovers from the lunch rush.

By the time I got to them, the wings were no longer tender and fall-off-the-bone like good wings should be. Rather, they had a texture more similar to boiled chicken. I believe they could have been good had I been eating a

fresh batch, but I was utterly disappointed by what actually made it to my plate.

Eating that first bite of mushroom pizza was definitely a welcome change of taste after the wings. My first bite was delicious and bursting with the fresh tang of marinara sauce. Although I really enjoyed it at first, due to either my high expectations, the rest of the slice was decidedly average.

All in all I didn’t hate the pizza, but I didn’t love it either. It was a good enough slice to satisfy my craving for non-dining hall pizza, but it also didn’t satisfy my craving for my favorite pizza back home.

I only ate a small part of the meatball sub in the restaurant. What I did eat there was truly fantastic. The sauce was even tangier on the sub than it was on the pizza, the meatball was soft enough to cut with a fork and the bread was delightfully crisp from baking in the oven.

I was pleasantly surprised, given the showing of the pizza and the wings were not stellar.

I ate the rest of the sub as a late-night snack the next day, and I think the meatball tasted even better, which is a total norm with Italian food. The meatballs seriously reminded me of my grandma’s meatballs, which is a plus. I truly commend Nick’s Tomato Pie for its meatballs, because my grandma makes some damn good ones.

For anyone looking to get their real pizza fix without leaving the comfort of their dorm, apartment or house, Nick’s Tomato Pie is available to order off GrubHub. Overall, Nick’s Tomato Pie is definitely not a Syracuse gem that should become an integral part of students’ diets. However, they do craft a nice sub, and I wouldn’t hesitate to order one again.

Fanboys deliver impetuous blow to Hacks’ aspirations

By W.F. Whence senior staff writer

Oh, how cursorily the tang of supremacy can become an acrid whipping. The repetitive newsmen were captivated and catapulted by the eldered paterfamilias Jesse Dougherty’s unconscious presentation of veracity at the netted rim. The cluster-butt Fanboys could but toss sweated palm in his heiness’ face. A sideline of substitutes and a slew of sign-toting admirers found containing their collective hosanna nonviable.

Inside the arched roof that eludicates the bleeding vessels of Salt City citizens, the complications of existence was naught. Jubilation metamorphed toward pandemic joy.

“There’s nothing like getting hot in the Carrier Dome,” the smug-faced Senior said.

“But water always finds its level. It’s probably also the hardest place to stay hot in.”

Dougherty posted 17 points for the Hacks, but the most uncomplicated of layups carried the blushy-faced Fanboys to a once-unforseen validation of skill that stuck to the palate longer than a rotting Pup Food. The scorecard read 38-30, but the tired frowns from the weary writers said it better than any number could.

It had been a twelvemonth of preparation, construction of an indestructible, single-hearted unit.

But results didn’t differentiate the disappointment. The same tear-wielding

graduates of the great game. It had been two winters since Matt Schneidman fathered his team and blood-soaked elbow to a Hack win. Two winters since Stephen Bailey snatched victory from the hands of defeat.

“I’m not sure I believe in stats,” co-coach Chris Carlson said. “But if you do, they were the better team.”

The Hacks indoctrinated the beleaguered James Arthur algorithm on defense to perfection at the outset. The strategy was the cat’s meow, as the air-wavers scored just two points while to the men of 744 had 10. And with Dougherty, yes, the Hacks could put it on the board.

Indubitably, the hanging back glass provided each grey-shirted student-athlete the most anguish post break. The result of each attempt far from serendipitous. Clank. Clank. Clank.

The Hacks were musical in their misery.

By the time the high-socked Connor Grossman gracelessly patrolled the hallowed hardwood, the result had reached its fate. Seniors Sam Blum and Dougherty exited, the pinnacle of their careers reaching its unfortunate ending.

Silver linings were undistinguishable amid a cloud of darkness. The opportunity to reverse the dynasty was clenched in the Hacks’ grasp, only to be pried away.

“The goal of basketball is to play good,” said guard Sam Fortier, who finished with zero points despite numerous hoists. “We played bad.” @WFWhence

Syracuse tops Pittsburgh by 14 for 8th consecutive win

By Jon Mettus digital editor

Alexis Peterson caught the ball wide open in the left corner behind the 3-point line and set her feet. Only one player on the Syracuse bench, which normally emphatically reacts to any SU 3 attempt, stood up.

But Peterson didn’t shoot. She drove to the basket for a layup instead.

Syracuse shied away from the barrage of 3-pointers it’s known for. A team that’s goal is to shoot 30 3s and make 10 per game fell well short of that, finishing with just four makes on 13 attempts. But the No. 23 Orange (22-6, 12-3 Atlantic Coast) turned to layups and midrange jumpers instead. The Orange shot 49 percent from the floor to beat Pittsburgh (12-15, 4-10), 70-56, at the Peterson Events Center on Sunday and extend its winning streak to eight games.

Brianna Butler, the NCAA’s active leader in 3-pointers, led SU with 20 points, but the Orange took its least amount of 3s all season.

“We have a versatile team and they’re going to be able to … make shots at the rim and do what they need to win basketball games,” SU head coach Quentin Hillsman said.

After taking an early lead, Syracuse hit a shooting drought midway through the first quarter. In a span of less than seven minutes, SU missed 9-of-10 shots and turned the ball over twice.

“We just weren’t really getting quality looks and when we got good looks we just didn’t hit shots,” Hillsman said. “… They did a good job of taking away our 3-point stuff.”

But then SU fell back on its press and moving the ball inside. Brittney Sykes hit a layup, and Butler stole the ensuing inbound pass and tossed an underhand shot in. Peterson stole an errant pass and drove the length of the floor for a lay-in to give Syracuse a 38-35 lead going into the half.

The Orange stretched its lead to nine by the end of the third, despite just taking one long shot the entire period.

When Butler, the only person to make a 3 for SU, drilled three 3-pointers in the fourth, they only served as cushion for an already solidified lead.

“We really took our opportunities when they were available, and I thought that they became available,” Hillsman said. “We got some drive and kicks late in the game, but we were getting turnovers and getting to the rim.”

Syracuse will visit Boston College on Thursday for its final regular season game. jmettus@syr.edu | @jmettus

Riley Donahue chips in 4 goals in Orange’s blowout win

By Liam Sullivan staff writer

Syracuse’s Natalie Wallon sprinted ahead on the fast break and slung a pass high above the defense to Riley Donahue. The sophomore attack leapt to corral the ball in the circle, but before she could land and fire off a shot, Donahue was knocked clear out of the air and landed hard on the ground.

While she never looked to be in danger, the play brought an already relatively quiet Carrier Dome to a silence. The referee whistled the play dead and awarded a free position to Donahue, who bounced back up to her feet and took her spot for the ensuing penalty shot.

Seconds after being on the ground, Donahue swept a shot past Marist goalie Alea Bonner to give Syracuse a 4-0 lead just 7:04 into the game. The goal marked the first of two Donahue would score on the free posi-

tion, a drastic improvement after scoring on only one of four free position shots last week in Syracuse’s 9-6 win over Binghamton.

“I just focused more on knowing where to shoot this game,” Donahue said.

The Marist defense keyed to her teammates and Donahue rose to the occasion as she netted four of the Orange’s 13 firsthalf goals — all within the game’s first 15 minutes and two within a span of less than two minutes. Donahue made good on her opportunities, scoring each of her four shots as No. 3 Syracuse (4-0) turned in a dominating performance to rout Marist (1-1), 16-5, Sunday night in the Carrier Dome.

The contest was decided before the end of the first half as Syracuse outscored the Red Foxes 13-1 in the first 30 minutes. With the hefty lead, SU was able to rest its starters in the second game of the day’s doubleheader. In the first game as Syracuse defeated Wagner (0-2), 16-5, Dona-

hue chipped in three goals and an assist to tie Halle Majorana with a team-high four points to bring her total on the day to eight. Marist looked similarly overmatched throughout the game as Syracuse attacked at will.

As Marist’s defense focused on Kayla Treanor and Majorana, it allowed Donahue to slip by relatively unchecked on the attack and find space to cut and create.

“That starting attack group has just been playing unbelievable this year,” head coach Gary Gait said. “If you logged the minutes they’ve played and what they’ve been able to do when they’ve been on the field, it’s been amazing.”

Just 1:20 after Donahue’s first goal, Syracuse was awarded another free position after Marist overcompensated toward Treanor on one side of the field and was forced to foul Donahue following a pass across to her. Donahue took the penalty opportunity and stuck yet another goal past Bonner. The

score marked Syracuse’s third in 1:22 and her second within the same timeframe.

“Sometimes they’d turn their back and I just see the opportunity to go,” Donahue said. “I knew Kayla would be there to pass it, so it just kind of worked out.”

Even without the head start of a free position shot, Donahue proved elusive, finding creases and slipping past defenders for open looks on net. Twice more before watching from the sideline as her teammates finished the final 30 minutes, Donahue would quickly handle passes from Treanor and Nicole Levy to score goals.

Syracuse simply dominated all facets of the game, but with so many weapons on the high-powered attack, it was a matter of who would find the back of the net for SU. “Especially against a zone, (we were) looking to pass more,” Treanor said, “and you know, Riley got open a lot.”

er into the offense, but this was the only instance the 6-foot Williams deviated from his usual “faceoff-get off” strategy.

“If see a little bit of a lane,” Williams said, “I’m going to try to take it.”

Even as the game trickled out of Albany’s grasp in the second half, Williams didn’t let up until Desko withheld his best trump card in favor of getting Cal Paduda reps.

Just before Williams day ended prematurely, he craftily shoveled back-to-back faceoffs in the third quarter through his legs, akin to a center in football. His second attempt fell in the stick of Tom Grimm, who advanced the possession that ended with a Devin Shewell shot skirting past Riorden.

It was just another one of the “awful lot of shots” the Albany keeper said he faced, something Desko knew to attribute to Williams as he reflected on the game. Eight different goalscorers punctuated Syracuse possessions that started with the same man: Williams.

“It was great that Ben was in good form,” Desko said.

marist Marist head coach Jessica O’Brien called timeout after Majorana scored Syracuse’s fifth goal, the Red Foxes couldn’t find the same stability. The Orange scored two goals in the 1:49 after the timeout was called, capping off the 7-0 blitz that effectively ended the game less than a sixth of the way in.

“The first half today we really went after them and played our starting group (which was) a big factor playing almost until the end of the half today,” head coach Gary Gait said. “… they took the timeout and we just continued to press and play hard.”

All-Americans Treanor and Majorana were part of that fantastic first half. The two combined for nine points in the opening frame, tallying three goals and six assists between them. Majorana in particular did a good amount of her work operating from behind the goal.

“Playing against a zone it opens things up,” Majorana said, “so there are a lot of openings. And I think everyone was on the same page today.”

Despite struggling against Marist at the draw circle, SU managed to dominate the first half, going into the break with a 13-1 lead. Treanor wasn’t having the same success as she did in the first weekend of games, but it didn’t matter. SU had enough of an outlet from elsewhere to make up for it.

The 12-goal difference represented the largest margin after the first half this sea-

son for Syracuse.

After the first half, Gait pulled all his starters out of the game and emptied the bench. Thirty-seven players saw the field, including backup goalie Erin Coleman, who transferred to SU from Marist. Her teammates on the sidelines exploded in cheers whenever she made a save.

Halle Majorana

The process continued to repeat itself as SU’s junior face-off man finished the first quarter 8-for-8 from the X, and didn’t lose a draw until his 13th try nearly midway through the second quarter.

“Ben was winning all the faceoffs,” said midfielder Derek DeJoe, who tied a gamehigh with three goals. “He was doing really well at the X so we were getting a lot of opportunities.”

After winning his fifth faceoff, Williams tore down the field instead of dishing the ball off to his wings. He sprinted across the right hash in pursuit of Albany’s goal, and uncorked a shot wide of Riorden’s net.

Senior attack Tim Barber managed to still get a shot off shortly afterward when Syracuse maintained possession of Williams’ errant shot, and SU went up 4-1 on a Matt Lane goal nearly 90 seconds later.

The Orange has been toying with the idea of further integrating its junior midfield-

from page 16

albany Syracuse’s role players picked up the slack.

Albany goalie Blaze Riorden said Donahue fell under the “known” category in the game plan, but players like DeJoe and Lane weren’t given as much recognition.

“Every game you see guys like Dylan Donahue putting up six-, seven-point games,” Riorden said. “To limit guys like that, we got to limit the rest of them.”

SU led 12-6 after three quarters and Mariano, Lane, DeJoe and Shewell each had two goals. No one else on the Orange had more than one.

As Albany’s defense slid from the bottom of the field, Syracuse’s shooters capitalized on hesitation at the top. And Mariano, Lane and

DeJoe’s best skill is their shooting ability.

“If you look at the guys that put up points today, they were shooters,” Desko said. “… Our shooters made good today on the opportunities they had.”

Albany head coach Scott Marr said the Orange excelled at spreading out his defense with its variety of scoring threats.

With the game already out of reach in the fourth quarter, Syracuse kept piling on. It finally ended when Lane stood near the top of the restraining box and instead of dodging to the goal, he passed it off to Mariano who put the final nail in the Great Danes’ coffin.

“When you play a team with that many threats,” Marr said, “yeah it is difficult to play defense against.” pmschwed@syr.edu | @pschweds

su attack

SU passed its first four early season tests with ease, and punctuated the opening stretch with its blowout of Marist. The Orange knows that it flexed its muscles against some inferior opponents.

Even with its reserves owning the majority of the time and it starters resting comfortably on the sideline, Syracuse held its own.

But after playing four early-season games against inferior opponents, SU will face its next challenge in two of the top 10 teams in the country.

“Great team effort,” Gait said, “and we’re excited to prepare for the next few games.” tdlanger@syr.edu | @tomer_langer

COVERING THE SPREAD Syracuse gets goals from 9 players in 16-7 victory

att Lane drove toward the goal from the left wing. It was the same move he had used two previous times this season.

As he stumbled to the ground, the ball flew out of his stick, across the face of the goal and over the sideline.

The first shot in his first career start wasn’t even close. But 10 minutes later, Lane caught a pass from Dylan Donahue, crow-hopped and

unleashed a bullet 15 yards from the goal. It pushed Syracuse’s lead to 7-4 and came in the middle of an eightgoal stretch in which all of its goals came outside its starting attack.

A year removed from SU’s firstline attack accounting for 55 percent of Syracuse’s points, it was diverse scoring from the midfield that separated the Orange in a 16-7 win over Albany.

“That’s what we’d like to be standard,” SU head coach John Desko said. “That’s how we like to play.

We don’t want to give the ball to one person all the time. If they get stopped, then our team stops and our offense stops. We want to share the ball like we did today.”

With starting attack Nick Piroli out with a lower-body injury and midfielder Tim Barber, who moved up to attack in his absence, out for the second half, No. 5 Syracuse (2-0) relied on its depth to surge past No. 12 Albany (0-1) on Sunday in the Carrier Dome. Lane, typically on the second line, had two

goals and two assists while fellow midfielders Derek DeJoe and Nick Mariano each had three goals.

After losing five of its top six scorers and its entire starting midfield to graduation, Desko said Syracuse would spend the early portion of the season sorting out who will replace them. On Sunday, the Orange proved it won’t fall on a single person.

“After (last season), it was kind of on our shoulders, especially just middies in general,” DeJoe said. “People had to step up and take on that role.”

Midway through the third quarter, the 6-foot-7 Lane lured in the defense and passed to an open Devin Shewell in the teeth of Albany’s defense. From 5 yards out, the freshman coolly scored to give Syracuse a five-goal lead.

Even as Donahue, who had four goals and five assists last week against Siena, was limited to a relatively quiet one goal and four assists,

Ben Williams dominates at faceoff X in win

By Connor Grossman asst. web editor

Albany head coach Scott Marr didn’t have to think long about what doomed his team as he sunk into his postgame press conference. The Great Danes, losing to Syracuse for the second straight year, watched Ben Williams combine to win four of every five faceoffs.

“It’s hard to win when you don’t have the ball,” Marr said, pausing to look down at the stat sheet below him. “0-for-8 facing off in the first quarter.”

SU’s dynamic face-off specialist

owned Albany at the X once again, this year winning 17-of-24 draws after taking away 24-of-27 last year. Williams’ dominance allowed the No. 5 Orange (2-0) to leverage possession time and jet out to a 5-1 lead, and an eventual 16-7 win against No. 12 Albany (0-1).

The repetitive possessions stretched the Great Danes’ defense thin as Syracuse peppered more shots than it had in any game since 1997. By the time Albany attack Bennet Drake uncorked his team’s first shot of the game, SU had seven shots and three wins at the X by Williams. “(Williams) gave us a lot of pos-

sessions to keep a lot of pressure on their defense throughout the game,” Orange head coach John Desko said.

Williams crouched to a knee against Albany’s Zach Ornstein to take the game-opening faceoff, and upon hearing the referee’s whistle, spun nearly 180 degrees and popped the ball into his stick in three seconds.

He sprinted down the right alley about 25 yards before dishing the ball off to Scott Firman and retreating to the sideline. Midfielders Nick Mariano and Matt Lane both unfurled shots toward Albany goalkeeper Blaze Riorden before Jordan Evans converted the third shot on the game-opening possession. see faceoffs page 14

Kayla Treanor was set in the draw circle. Riley Donahue had just scored off a free position shot, an area she struggled in last Sunday night against Binghamton, and the game was getting ready to restart.

Treanor flicked the ball up to herself and won control. Instead of bringing her stick back down, she looked up and fired a lofty 35-yard pass to Halle Majorana, who had gotten behind the defense. Syracuse scored a goal and took a 5-0 lead just seven seconds after winning control of the draw.

12 Number of different players who scored a goal for Syracuse, 10 of which only scored once for the Orange

“We don’t really work on that,” Treanor said. “Halle just does a really great job of pushing it up field and does a good job of getting open long.”

No. 3 Syracuse (4-0) stormed out of the gate, scoring seven goals in the opening nine minutes of the game, which included a 2:56 stretch in which the Orange scored four times to build up that 7-0 lead. That dominating sequence set the tone for the Orange in what ended up being a 16-5 blowout victory over Marist (1-1) on Sunday night in the Carrier Dome.

Marist won the first draw control of the game, but promptly turned the ball over. Taylor Gait got possession of the ball near the net and fired it toward goal. The ball ricocheted off the post and back towards the center of the 8-meter arc.

Treanor recovered it and among a group of red jerseys, calmly shot the ball and scored, giving SU a 1-0 lead 13 seconds into the game.

In SU’s game at noon, Wagner head coach Katie Rowan called a timeout that spurred her team to score two goals at the end of the first half. But when see marist page 14
