Identity C R IS IS DPS attempts to differentiate from SPD with uniform changes

he Department of Public Safety is an operation that has had many faces throughout the years.

In the 1980s, Syracuse University’s campus police force was known as SU Security. It was able to do checks on property and had little interaction with students.

Less than 10 years later, SU Security became the Department of Public Safety in response to rises in enrollment, city crime and poverty. It was also granted limited law force powers; it could use pepper spray, arrest students and use police batons.

“It was the first phase of moving toward becoming a real campus law enforcement organization,” said DPS Chief Tony Callisto.

Then in 2004, after the 1999 Columbine High School Massacre, DPS began carrying firearms — a step Callisto said was taken to allow officers to protect themselves and the community.

Later this year, DPS will undergo a more physical transformation as it

changes its uniforms. A patch will be added to the left arm, “DPS” will be featured in non-reflective lettering on the back of the uniform and the name will also be added above the right front pocket. DPS considered changing the color of their pants, but Callisto said that would cost nearly $50,000. It will cost around $15,000 to add patches to their uniforms, he said.

NEW LOOK Here are the changes to DPS’s uniforms to be made later this year: • A patch added on the left arm • “DPS” in non-reflective lettering added on the back of the uniform • “DPS“ added above the right front pocket

The changes were made after the fight outside of the Schine Student Center last spring. A student reported that officers used excessive force during the incident, but because the uniforms between DPS and the Syracuse Police Department were so similar,

Student takes personal journey to confidence

By Jen Bundy staff writer

It takes confidence to go up on a stage in front of a large crowd in any situation, especially when you’re pretending to orgasm.

But for Autumn Elniski, a fourth-year paper engineering major at the State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry, “The Vagina Monologues’” performance titled “The Moaner” was the right choice.

Elniski breathes confidence today, but she said it took a long journey to get there.

“My first semester sophomore year I basically listened to the ‘90s alternative band Garbage on repeat,” she said. “That semester I was figuring myself out, focusing internally.”

One major realization Elniski had was identifying as a lesbian.

“Growing up I never knew lesbians even existed,” she said. “I thought only a man could love a woman.”

In college, Elniski began attending New 2 ‘Quse, weekly discussions for students who are new to the LGBTQ communities.

“Being gay is such a big part of who I am, and I love being gay,” she said.

“Through my sexuality I learned to love who I was.”

This self-love and confidence translates into Elniski’s interest in performance.

Elniski performed “The Moaner,” where she reenacted onstage the various types of orgasms such as “the clit moan,” “the almost-there moan” and “the surprise triple orgasm moan.”

“I never think about the crowd,” she said. “I just step into myself.”

Elniski is already planning future performances for next year’s drag show and poetry readings around campus.

“I am always down to try most things once,” said Elniski.

That message is part of what Elniski shares as a speaker during the “There is More to My Story” event that takes place as part of SUNY-ESF’s orientation. The advice Elniski shares is what she said she tries to live by.

Said Elniski: “Don’t let other people tell you what to think or feel or believe. Take care of yourself.” jbundy@syr.edu

Students partake in viral drinking phenomenon

By Rose Aschebrock contributing writer

A social media sensation that has raised safety concerns across the globe has recently surfaced at Syracuse University.

In NekNomination, a participant “neks,” or quickly consumes, an alcoholic beverage while performing a humorous act to be posted on social media. On completion of the challenge, the participant is then directed to nominate three more friends to complete one, posting video evidence within 24 hours.

NekNomination originated in Australia three months ago and then spread virally through social media. It has spread globally through the United Kingdom, South Africa, Asia, Canada and America,

as those nominated try to outdo their predecessor.

Nikko Iannuzzo, a junior architecture major, was NekNominated on Feb. 10 by a friend in Buffalo.

Iannuzzo said his nominator drank a beer, got naked and jumped in a

snow bank.

However, Iannuzzo said he is unsure if he will complete his nomination after hearing about the fatal results of other challenges. In Ire-

land, two people died in early February after participating in a NekNomination. A 19-year-old man in Carlow, Ireland, downed a beer, climbed onto a railing, and jumped into the River Barrow, never resurfacing.

“If I were to do it, I wouldn’t do something that crazy,” Iannuzzo said. “That’s why I don’t know how to one-up that. I don’t want to do anything that’s going to kill me.”

Emma Basher, a former SU student who now lives in Adelaide, Australia, said she first became aware of the NekNomination hype on Dec. 16 when she saw a video posted on Facebook by her friend.

“I think they’re funny but the overall concept is stupid,” Basher said.

Ally Witty, a 19-year-old Canadian junior attending the University of Miami has reached a similar

conclusion. On Feb. 9, she posted a video on her timeline called “A Canadian Takes On #NekNomination,” which features a Canadian man prepaying $48.46 towards the orders of the Tim Horton customers in line behind him instead of the typical NekNomination.

Witty hoped that posting the video would encourage her American college friends to do something similar instead of consuming alcohol and performing a stunt.

Others don’t support this “pay-itforward” alternative. One user commented on Witty’s post saying only “lame” people would perform this kind of nomination, exemplifying how peer pressure and cyber-bullying can fuel the fad’s spread and encourage the potentially dangerous see neknomination page 9

Media portrayal of black women shows stereotypes

O

n Feb. 12, The Women’s Media Center (WMC) released its annual Status of Women in the U.S. Media Report. The report summarizes women’s depiction in film and television as well as their role in determining its content. Among a slew of statistics, the most upsetting were those on black women’s depiction in the media.

The WMC took a sample of black and white women who read Essence Magazine. The readers decried portrayals of black women in the media, based on the survey. It asked them about the types of black women they saw in the media. Eighty-five percent of survey respondents found that they regularly see unmarried “baby mamas” in the media, but 41 percent see “young phenoms,” “girls next door,” and “modern matriarchs,” in real life.

White respondents said “angry black women,” “baby mamas” and “uneducated sisters” were the women they most encountered in real life.

Women aged 18–29 were reported as more likely to know about and like the negative characterizations of black women. This is because they have more exposure to digital media, where these characterizations run rampant. Those who approved of these negative stereotypes were also likely to find lighter skin and straighter hair more beautiful. This study demonstrates that there is a pervasive force portraying unrealistic and negative examples of black women without there being anything positive or inspirational to balance it out.

Black women made their first television debuts playing “mammys” and caretakers. Today, their roles have evolved to “baby mamas” and uneducated jezebels. Black women dominate the screen

WHAT A GIRL WANTS

but only when it comes to reality shows and music videos. Aside from “Scandal” and “Being Mary Jane,” I cannot think of many shows that depict a black woman in the lead role who is strong and independent. Black women are usually sassy, loud and sidekicks (see: Loni Love from “Chelsea Lately” or Nene Leakes from “The Real Housewives of Atlanta.”)

The only black women who have the opportunity to deviate from this role are usually racially ambiguous or “mixed.” This story is told and retold so many times that it has become ingrained in everyone’s heads. Little black girls learn early on that in order to be beautiful or important, they have to be white or undertake white characteristics. If they cannot, black girls have to simply accept being sidekicks or second-class citizens.

This also affects the way others see black girls.

Men and people from other races are receiving the same messages that black girls are, and they are receiving these messages at early ages as well. This creates pre-conceived notions of black women that create standards that are impossible to live up to and pigeonholes a whole minority. Black women face a unique form of stereotyping that combines their race and their gender, increasing the pressure they face.

These are not just numbers on a page.

These statistics are actual people. Black women are facing a lack of positive representation in the media and control of media

sources. This is important because the shows we watch, books we read and music we listen to are more than just media — they shape our society. The media shapes the way we think, feel and act towards others and ourselves.

Women, especially black women, have little control of the behind-the-scenes aspect of the media. There seems to be a media pipeline for women, leading most of them to public relations and advertising fields. This is so extensive that half of the advertising agency workforce is made up of women. The only problem is that women do not make up positions of power; 68 percent of bosses are men. If black women have no voice or input in the media, our representation is completely left up to others and that is a scary thing.

Report reveals ambiguity with drone strikes overseas

T

he growing amount of drone strikes used to counter terrorism has created doubt about whether the technology is being used in a humane and just way.

On December 12, 2013, a United States drone strike killed at least 12 people and wounded at least 15 at a wedding procession in Yemen, according to a Feb. 20 Washington Post article. It has remained ambiguous whether those killed were civilians or combatants associated with the intended target Shawqi Ali Ahmed alBadani, a mid-level al-Qaeda leader.

In May last year, President Obama addressed the risk of civilian casualties in drone strikes. He stressed that there must be “near-certainty” that there will be no civilian casualties. This policy is essential to maintain morality in drone use. A Human Rights Watch report released on Feb. 20 raises serious questions about whether this policy has been adhered to.

Reports by U.S. and Yemeni officials are inconsistent — some claim all deaths were militant and others claim that all were civilian casualties.

In order for drone strikes to be considered legal under international humanitarian law, the attack must specifically target combatants .

The Human Rights Watch report revealed it is unclear whether or not civilians were killed in the attacks.

Drone strikes must align with Obama’s policy of “near-certainty.” It is possible that this attack was purely militant, but due to the lack of disclosure it is impossible to discern the truth.

It is essential that the U.S. government be transparent and fully disclose information regarding these attacks.

Official reports should be released shortly after the strikes have been carried out. These reports should include the location of the strike, a list of the names of people killed or harmed and their affiliation. Drone technology is new and under-regulated. For this technology to be used in a humane and just way, transparency is essential. It is unclear whether the U.S. military has News Editor Annie Palmer Editorial Editor Alfred Ng Sports Editor Stephen Bailey Feature Editor Lara Sorokanich Presentation Director Lizzie Hart Photo Editor Margaret Lin Art Director Natalie Riess Copy Chief Audrey Hart Development Editor Maddy Berner Social Media Producer Meredith Newman Video Editor Luke Rafferty

50 SHADES OF BLUE been abusing this technology.

Specifically targeted drone strikes can restrict the threat of terrorism and protect U.S. troops. However, regulatory policy must be created and strictly followed to protect civilians and the integrity of the U.S. military.

The risk of these attacks must be calculated. Unfortunately, due to the lack of disclosure and skepticism, it appears these attacks may have resulted in civilian casualties.

Regardless of the outcome of these attacks, information about the results must be made public. The silence on the part of the White House implies guilt. The U.S. should take responsibility if there have been miscalculations made, which the inconsistency in the reporting implies.

Without disclosure, skepticism about drone use will continue to rise.

The current ambiguity about the Dec. 12 attack, amongst others, has compromised public trust in U.S. actions abroad. It is crucial that this trust be maintained to quell doubts regarding the integrity of our military actions.

The consequences for reckless and unjustified drone strikes are immense. The number of civilian casualties caused by drones is vague and wildly uncertain. If the results of drone strikes are disclosed directly by the U.S. government, this doubt will begin to subside.

Disclosure and transparency of drone use does not jeopardize U.S. security. This information should only be released after the drone strikes have taken place and exclude information that would threaten the safety of U.S. citizens. It is essential to balance security with transparency.

Uniform changes help distinguish DPS The Department of Public Safety’s decision to modify its uniforms is a step in the right direction, but ultimately not enough to distinguish the differences between DPS and Syracuse Police Department officers.

DPS will update its uniforms as a way to differentiate their officers from SPD officers. This change was prompted by a student who tried to file a complaint after a fight at the Schine Student Center in February 2013. A student tried to file a complaint of excessive force, but was unable to do so because the student could not identify whether it was a DPS or SPD officer who committed the alleged act.

Having DPS officers who are identifiable will hold officers accountable for their actions. This will allow students to properly report abuse of powers.

The updated uniforms will include a large DPS patch across the officer’s back and one on the side of the shoulder. The patches are a good option to start with, but ultimately, DPS needs to take steps to ensure its officers are completely distinguishable from SPD officers.

Although they show students the physical difference between the two law enforcement offices, the additions to the uniforms do little to change the student perception of DPS’s role on campus.

Many students on campus are unaware of the expanded powers of DPS officers made nearly 10 years ago, which include being allowed to carry handguns. When 50 students were shown photos of both DPS and SPD officers, 33 of them were not able to tell the difference.

Several students noticed a gun on

the DPS officer and mistakenly believed it had to be an SPD officer because of the weapon.

When students see officers carrying handguns and, with the additions to their uniforms, immediately recognize them as DPS officers, they can physically see the extent of their authority on campus.

Students should be more aware of DPS’s roles, responsibilities and powers on campus. As campus security, DPS officers are the best resources for students because they are the most accessible.

It is important that the student body be familiar with the officers responsible for protecting them.

If students are able to tell the difference between SPD and DPS officers, they will be more aware of the role of DPS on campus and the resources available for help.

Two research teams receive funding to study how people communicate storm warnings

By Leanna Kirschen staff writer

A

year and a half after Superstorm Sandy hit the East Coast, a grant will fund research to examine how storm warnings are perceived by residents who need to evacuate.

Two teams of researchers — each with a SUNY-ESF professor on board — recently received $150,000 from NOAA Sea Grant Coastal Storm Awareness Program to look at strategies to improve communication between storm officials and residents.

Laura Rickard, an environmental studies professor at the State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry, is working with Cliff Scherer, a professor in the communications department at Cornell University, and Gina Eosco, a Ph.D. candidate at Cornell, to study how the threat of storms is communicated to others.

The grant money will go partly to creating experimental hurricane media broadcasts that will test a new storm surge map among a suite of hurricane graphics and information, Eosco said.

It will also pay students working on the

project for travel expenses and setting up focus groups and surveys, Scherer said.

The team is currently analyzing how the risks are visualized and whether or not people understand what they are seeing. Focus groups were created in the risk areas, where volunteers then watch weather forecasts and then the team gauges their reactions.

Scherer said they know that photos of a risk tend to increase the perception that there is a hazard. However, much of the hazard is viewed through maps and radars, which doesn’t necessarily tell the public that the storm exists, he said.

Scherer was a weather forecaster many years ago and said his interest in the area stems from the idea of communicating risk. His goal is to get people to react to storms in a more efficient way, he said.

People tend to have “unrealistic optimism” when storms approach, Scherer said. He added that when people are told they need to evacuate, they often say, “it won’t happen to me.”

“There are hundreds of television channels that people are paying attention to,” he said.

“How do we get the information that we need to

to those people?”

Scherer said that sometimes even if people hear the warnings, they don’t understand what they mean and don’t believe the warnings.

Eosco, the Ph.D. candidate, said the forecast isn’t complete until it’s communicated, processed, understood and acted upon. She added that storm surges are the deadliest and most dangerous aspect of a hurricane and residents who live directly on the coast or near the coast are the most at risk.

“It is our intent to understand how the information in hurricane media broadcasts is helping individuals assess their risk and make evacuation decisions,” Eosco said.

The team plans to make recommendations for how the broadcast meteorology community communicates hurricane information in the future, specifically about storm surge risks, she said.

Sharon Moran, an environmental studies professor at ESF, is working on a separate storm warning project, together with co-principal investigator Bill Peace, a visiting professor of the Syracuse University Honors Program, Rebecca Garden, an associate professor at Upstate Medical School, and Sam Ratick, a professor at Clark University.

The project, titled “Understanding Responses to Storm Warnings: Learning From Those Who ‘Rode Out’ Hurricane Sandy,” seeks to learn from those individuals who wouldn’t or couldn’t evacuate as the storm loomed. Moran is working to develop hurricane forecasts that use a new storm surge inundation map.

She said she believes that a lot of places in society have a disconnection.

“People get advice or information but may not opt to heed it — that’s sometimes the case with storm warnings,” Moran said.

She said she developed the project after learning that, of the 300 people who were killed in Hurricane Sandy, most of them were older or had disabilities. She began studying who those people trusted, their perceptions and what their options really were, in order to learn more about the decision to evacuate or stay through the storm.

Said Moran: “There are opportunities to avoid loss of life in the future. We can do a better job, we just need to connect the information and the ideas of the emergency managers and the listeners in the right way.” lwkirsch@syr.edu

Food studies major includes industry, science

By Justin Mattingly staff writer

The David B. Falk College of Sport and Human Dynamics has announced it will be offering a bachelor of science in food studies beginning in the fall 2014 semester.

Students will learn about the food industry in areas including food science, organic production, local food movement and several other subject areas, according to the Falk College website.

The major was created in response to student demands and a surge in food studies programs nationwide, Rick Welsh, a professor and director of undergraduate programs in food studies, said in an email.

“There is growing societal interest in, and student demand for, information on food systems at the local, national and global levels,” he said.

“More people want information on how the current system is developed and the social, economic, environmental, political and nutritional and other health outcomes associated with it.”

SU will become the 16th institution in the U.S. to offer a food studies program, according to the Association for the Study of Food and Society.

The 120-credit major includes five areas of study: Falk College requirements, a liberal arts core, a food studies core, a food studies area of concentration and electives. The curriculum will include 21 credits of core food studies courses and 14-16 credits in food studies concentration,

Rifkin, a senior history major, had spent eight months in treatment for binging and purging. When Rifkin returned to SU, she said she was much more prepared for the college environment. She used tools she had learned from her treatment center to prevent relapsing.

according to the Falk College website.

The major will be based on a combination of other universities’ curriculum and Falk’s, Welsh said.

“There is course content we offer that is offered elsewhere. However, we are unique in that we combine food politics and governance with community food systems and gastronomy,” he said.

Students will be actively involved in the community and other regional food-oriented organizations, Welsh said.

Falk anticipates steady increases in enrollment in the food studies program over time, body image issues and an eating disorder,” Spina said.

A panel discussion with therapists and survivors of eating disorders will kick-off NEDA week Monday night. There will also be a dinner and discussion at Ophelia’s Place, a treatment and support center in Liverpool.

SHAPES hopes the events will educate the campus more about body image issues.

“I think it’s great that the campus is drawing awareness and providing support to an issue that basically everyone struggles with but may be afraid to seek support for,” said Lauren Bernstein, a senior psychology major.

She said she plans to attend Monday night’s panel discussion.

SHAPES has many students who have never had an eating disorder and might not have body image issues, Spina said. Issues surrounding body image aren’t discussed enough, so she said it’s refreshing for her to see so many students come out to SHAPES meetings and events.

Meetings usually consist of discussions on how to spread awareness on campus and how to raise money for NEDA. Members also discuss how the media presents body image and share their opinions and experience about it.

Rifkin said she is working to expand the resources available for students struggling with eating disorders. There is a large interest from members to have a support group led by a professional, Spina said.

“My goal by the end of this year is to establish a support group for girls struggling that is a safer place for them specifically to go and have a more structure and guided group,” Rifkin said.

Spina and Rifkin are looking forward to talking to students during NEDA week and spreading awareness about the issues. They both believe there are a lot of students on SU’s campus who struggle with body image and eating disorders, and they hope SHAPES’ events can create a supportive environment.

Said Spina: “We are really just all about positivity and our end goal is to make people at Syracuse feel accepted and beautiful the way they are.” jdelaney@syr.edu

and hopes to have a few hundred (students in the major) within 5-6 years, Welsh said.

As enrollment increases, Bellows anticipates that the content of the program and faculty may change, but the fundamental approach to preparing students will not.

Sam Stern, freshman public relations major, said the new program is a good addition to the university and will help diversify the campus.

“I think it’s important that we understand the logistics of the food industry,” he said.

“It’s definitely important to continue to add more majors and more programs to help bring diversity to the university.”

The addition of the food studies major will also come with the addition of a food studies minor. Students take courses covering production, consumption, distribution, gastronomy and food policy. The minor in food studies requires the completion of six courses, two of which are mandatory and four electives, according to the Falk website.

While the goal of the major is to provide “a thorough understanding of food systems, politics and economies from production to consumption locally, nationally and globally,” Falk College also wants to develop students who will obtain jobs upon graduation, Welsh said.

Said Welsh: “A goal for students in the major is to obtain marketable skills that can be employed in food industry, government agencies and the not-for-profit world.” jmatting@syr.edu

block party of the biggest genres on campus,” Benini said.

She added that they were influenced partly by the success of Juice Jam this past fall, which featured rapper Kendrick Lamar and EDM artist Nicky Romero.

“That show sold out with an EDM supporting act and a hip hop headliner, so that’s a combination we found works on this campus,” Benini said.

Benini said UU began looking into booking artists for Block Party in December. UU takes social media reactions into account when choosing artists, she added, and the organization also held focus groups to get input from students.

Zedd gained national attention for his singles “Clarity” featuring Foxes, and “Stay the Night” featuring Hayley Williams. Benini said Zedd was one of the most popular artists on last year’s Juice Jam survey.

2Chainz will also be performing at Block Party. The rapper is known for his single “I’m Different” as well as his appearances on singles such as “Mercy,” with rappers Kanye West, Pusha T and Big Sean.

Tickets will go on sale for the general public starting Friday at 10 a.m. through Ticketmaster and the Carrier Dome Box Office, with those tickets costing $30 each.

Doors for the show will open at 6:30 p.m. on April 25, with the concert beginning at 7 p.m. blsamuel@syr.edu

“The students who are going are probably students who are pretty hardcore and who are committed to giving up a weekend to go see the team, so it’ll be worth it for those kids,” Glidden said.

He added that students had been contacting him for the past few weeks about whether or not a bus trip would happen for a basketball game this season. Now that it’s scheduled, he said he’s looking forward to the trip.

uniforms SU was unable to determine if the incident involved a DPS or SPD officer. After several discussions, Callisto said DPS and SPD determined a uniform change would help improve distinction between the two.

Without the current uniforms, DPS and SPD are nearly identical, Callisto said, adding that they are indistinguishable except for the silver patch.

Even when the uniforms are shown side by side, it hard for students to tell which is which.

Fifty students were shown a photo of the current DPS uniform next to an SPD uniform and were asked to identify which belonged to whom. Thirty-three of the students surveyed incorrectly identified the photos. Several of them didn’t know DPS could carry a firearm.

But if a student were in a chaotic situation, such as the incident in Schine, the uniforms could be even harder to distinguish, said Sam Gorovitz, a professor of philosophy.

“If you were to go to a busy, fast-moving situation, you’d be less likely to discern a difference,” Gorovitz said.

Students would be more distracted in a real situation than if they’re able to study the photos, he said.

Alray Cromer, a student involved in the Schine fight, said he was able to differentiate between the two because he recognized a few of

Rebecca Kantrowitz, senior vice president and dean of student affairs at SU, said she wor-

the DPS officers.

“For most people, you’re in a panic mode, so you might be able to mix it up because of that,” said Cromer, a senior communications and health and exercise science major. “It’s hard to tell because the uniforms are very closely related.”

The misconceptions go beyond the uniforms, Cromer said. Some students perceive DPS as a joke, feeling more concerned when SPD responds to the scene, he said.

Though DPS can arrest students and carry firearms, SPD still often responds to incidents on campus. SPD Sgt. Gary Bulinski said DPS’s expanded powers have increased its partnership with city police. DPS can arrest a student and hold them for a certain period of time, but must transport them to SPD’s police station to be charged.

When the issue of DPS carrying firearms came up 10–15 years ago, David Potter, former associate dean of student services in the College of Arts and Sciences, he said he was originally opposed to the idea. But after attending meetings among faculty, staff and administration, Potter decided it wasn’t “unreasonable” for DPS to carry guns.

Before the expanded powers, DPS could only physically apprehend someone exhibiting illegal behavior. They would then have to wait for the “real police” to show up and take over, Potter said. Leaving officers unarmed was not an option, he said.

“We are not a small country college with a

couple hundred students,” Potter said. “We are an urban university in a city that has a serious crime problem…our students are exposed to substantial risks and students take a while to realize that our campus is not as safe as it looks.”

Since their powers expanded, Callisto said DPS officers have only had to draw a gun for three recorded incidents. DPS makes around 100 arrests per year and averages about two per week, Callisto said.

Potter said this demonstrates that DPS officers are exercising their powers with restraint.

“Say you do something stupid it never really goes away,” she said. “Once it’s out there, it’s out there.”

Students who post NekNomination videos may not be able to control who views them,

which could cause problems in the professional world, Kantrowitz said.

Eddie Banks-Crosson, the director of fraternity and sorority affairs, said he sees new crazes like NekNominations every year. He said he believes these fads are a reflection of the internal human conflict of identity and

He added that there are some police officers who have served for 20–30 years who have never had to draw their gun.

“If you have a very small negligible number of cases, why shouldn’t we rejoice in that?”

Potter said.

DPS officers should also consider how they

inform students about their ability to carry weapons, Potter said. But he added that the SU community should also reflect upon why they think DPS officers should not be able to carry weapons.

“I suspect there are a number of members of the community who just have close to a knee-jerk reaction to anyone but regular cops having guns,” Potter said. “I don’t think it’s appropriate to ask members of our community to professionally protect us all but tell them not to carry weapons.”

With the expanded powers, DPS Chief Callisto said SPD is able to deal with city crimes more efficiently. Before the expanded powers, they might have to respond to at least 67,000 calls for service per year but only around 25,000 of them might be actionable. Now, DPS can help to share the workload.

DPS and SPD respond to calls on campus with different approaches, Callisto said. SPD typically arrives to arrest someone and then leaves, while Callisto said DPS will try to use community policing. The new uniforms will only help maintain DPS’ presence on campus and allow SPD to keep controlling city crime, Callisto said.

He said DPS responds to calls with students’ best interests in mind, but is prepared to deal with situations with the same tactics SPD would.

Boeheim’s untimely ejection costs Orange chance to beat No. 5 Duke STEPHEN BAILEY

URHAM, N.C. —Jim Boeheim sat behind the podium and smiled. In only a matter of minutes he had regained his composure after the jacket-thrashing, tieflapping tirade that led to his ejection late in Syracuse’s 66-60 loss to Duke on Saturday.

Boeheim laughed and praised the referees tongue-in-cheek. He handled every question without a sweat. Without being combative.

Without showing the lack of control he had displayed to a national audience on ESPN. But he didn’t apologize. Not even in the face of what seemed to be an undeniable truth — the three free throws that resulted from his double technical sealed his team’s defeat.

He refused to look past Tony Greene’s questionable charge call on C.J. Fair.

“I kind of thought we would lose the game,” Boeheim said of the foul call with 10.4 seconds left, though his team was still down only two with Duke in the single bonus. “I don’t know if I was really thinking that much at the time, but I thought that was the game-decider.”

The charge call on C.J. Fair wasn’t the gamedecider. Boeheim’s ejection was. The 38th-year head coach cost his team a chance to play out the game and try to beat the Blue Devils.

Had he not exploded, Boeheim could have

instructed his defense to set up a press. Syracuse could have stolen the ball and scored in transition, like it did to beat North Carolina State a week ago. Or it could have fouled. Duke would have had to hit both shots of a one-andone to keep SU from having another chance to tie or lead.

Maybe the result of the game wouldn’t have changed. Kenpom.com lists Syracuse’s chances of victory at 5.5 percent before Boeheim’s ejection.

But they dropped to .3 afterward.

“I think maybe if he didn’t get the techs, we’d still have a chance to win,” senior forward C.J. Fair said.

Fair sat at his locker for 15 minutes after the game, forced to re-enact the same sequence of events for each reporter that cut to the front of the crowd.

He saw open court as he dribbled the baseline. He saw Rodney Hood still moving toward him as he switched the ball to his right hand and took off. He saw Greene, the referee, when he came down, and initially thought the basket was good. But then he realized it wasn’t.

It was painful to watch. Fair may have had his first chance to win at Cameron stripped by the referees — even he said he hadn’t seen the replay yet.

But it was Boeheim who prevented him from another opportunity.

“I think Coach crossed a line and he had to pay for it,” Fair said.

Other players weren’t so brash about the ejection, but even when faced with the scenario: down two points or five, none could refute

Charge call leads to ejection, Syracuse loss

By David Wilson staff writer

URHAM, N.C. — Jim Boeheim had coached 1,260 games before Saturday and never had there been a call that infuriated him so much as the one that Tony Greene made in the final seconds at Cameron Indoor Stadium.

It was another close Syracuse-Duke game, but C.J. Fair appeared to have tied it up on a baseline drive with 10 seconds remaining. The forward collided with Rodney Hood as the lefty banked in an impressive right-handed layup to tie the game.

Offensive foul.

“Bullsh*t!” Boeheim yelled as he rushed out to midcourt. “That’s bullsh*t!”

Greene didn’t hesitate. He threw the head coach out for the first time in his Hall of Fame career. That call — and Boeheim’s colorful reaction — sealed the No. 1 Orange’s fate. Quinn Cook sunk 3-of-4 free throws for the double

technical and the No. 5 Blue Devils (22-6, 11-4 Atlantic Coast) pulled out a 66-60 win in SU’s (25-2, 12-2) first trip to Durham, N.C., as a member of the ACC. “I just thought that was the worst call of the year. That’s all,” Boeheim said after the game.

I just thought that was the worst call of the year.

That’s all. I just hate to see a game decided on that call.

Jim Boeheim su head coach

“I just hate to see a game decided on that call.”

It was a classic — just like the first time these two played in the Carrier Dome — only it finished differently than most classics do.

Syracuse had the opportunity to force overtime on Duke’s home floor just as the Blue Devils did earlier in the month in the Carrier Dome.

With a six-point lead in the final minutes, Duke had its chances to put away the game. But SU fought back, and a 1-for-2 trip by Rasheed Sulaimon at the free-throw line left Syracuse down by two with 24 seconds remaining.

The Orange found Fair isolated on the left wing against Tyler Thornton with 13 seconds remaining. He burned the guard with a quick dribble along the baseline and tossed up a circus shot through some contact with Hood to tie the game.

“When I went for the drive, from my perspective, my angle, I felt as though he wasn’t set away from me,” Fair said. “I thought he kind of met me there.”

He stumbled along the rest of the baseline in time to see Greene signal something with his hands. Fair thought he was saying and-one.

Instead, it was a charge that kept SU two points

Syracuse-Duke rivalry grows after hostile game at Cameron

By Stephen Bailey sports editor

Michael Gbinije stood in shock underneath the basket at Cameron Indoor Stadium.

He looked toward the baseline official wideeyed and opened his mouth slightly.

The Syracuse sophomore guard, who transferred from Duke before last season, had just been called for fouling Amile Jefferson on a rebound with 11:11 left in Syracuse’s 66-60 loss to Duke on Saturday.

“We don’t miss you,” the Cameron Crazies to his right chanted. “We don’t miss you.”

Gbinije paused for a second, but gritted his teeth and jogged back down the court.

It was a jarring moment that highlighted a night sprinkled with discontent and disdain.

And in between those points, the Duke student section, which tried to pack all 1,500 occupants of Krzyzewskiville into the wooden bleachers that stand behind press row, injected more intensity into the new-forming rivalry with each possession.

In only two games, Syracuse-Duke has become something special. It’s proven that it could grow to be one of the greatest rivalries in college sports. While Blue Devils head coach Mike Krzyzewski said the best rivalries are built on respect after the first game on Feb. 1, it’s clear this matchup has a bit more than that now.

“Those people up there, they can make all the noise they want,” Boeheim said of the Crazies. “They don’t score any points.”

The Crazies pumped Cameron with noise

more than an hour before tipoff. As the SU players took part in their early shoot around, many were yelled at and taunted.

The fans came with signs defacing everything from Boeheim to Wegmans.

Gbinije, more than anyone or anything else, though, was on the receiving end of the hate.

“Gbi-ni-je, still can’t play,” the Crazies shouted as Gbinije smiled through most of warm-ups, ignoring the fans.

“It was louder than I expected it to be so early because of the student section,” SU forward C.J. Fair said. “It felt like a packed house and it really wasn’t.”

As the game wore on, the Crazies continued to rain flecks of blue paint and spittle out toward the court.

But while the tone of the game may have raised the intensity on the court, and hostility off it, that’s not to say some didn’t appreciate the atmosphere.

“This is how college basketball should be,” SU guard Trevor Cooney said. “The students should be really close to you, right on top of you.

It’s just a fun place to play.

“Compared to Pittsburgh and how the students are laid out, it definitely makes the game better.”

In the teams’ first matchup at the Carrier Dome on Feb. 1, five rows and a large aisle separated the Syracuse student section from the court.

The signs and the chants were there, but the intensity and effect on the game wasn’t the same. That environment helped build the rivalry, but the game at Cameron on Saturday changed it.

MICHAEL GBINIJE warms up prior to his homecoming at Duke, where he played his freshman year. The Duke fans gave him a rude welcoming. sam maller staff photographer

“These are the games you want to play in in college,” Cooney said. “You come to college to play good games like this against good teams.”

Depending on how the rest of the regular season shakes out, it’s possible there’ll be a Round III in the Atlantic Coast Conference or NCAA Tournament.

With all that’s transpired in the 85 minutes

of basketball Syracuse and Duke have played so far this season, it’s incredible to think about what could happen on an even bigger stage.

Said Fair: “I’d like to play them again, especially in the ACC tournament or in the (national) championship. Some way to break the tie.” sebail01@syr.edu | @Stephen_Bailey1

Syracuse tries to avoid 3rd straight loss on road at Maryland

By Stephen Bailey sports editor

The magical run is over. The longest winning streak in program history is done.

Boston College ended Syracuse’s streak on Wednesday, and Duke brought the Orange back down out of orbit again on Saturday.

SU head coach Jim Boeheim touched on the struggle during up next his sassy post-ejection VS Maryland press conference. @ Comcast Center “I don’t think we’ll Monday, 7 p.m. probably play again,” ESPN Boeheim quipped after his team’s 66-60 loss to the Blue Devils. “I just think we’ll give up. Jeez, we’ll probably lose again.”

The now two-loss Orange (25-2, 12-2 Atlantic Coast) will try to avoid losing again when it travels to College Park, Md., to face the Terrapins (15-12, 7-7) on Monday at 7 p.m. With a game next Saturday against Virginia, which is now alone atop the conference standings, Syracuse may need to win each of its final four games to be the top seed in the ACC tournament.

“It’s going to be another tough game,” SU forward C.J. Fair said. “Maryland is going to be a tough environment there as well. We’ve got to have the attitude that we can’t lose, no matter what it takes.

“We just can’t lose again.”

Fair was one of the improved players for the Orange in its 66-60 loss to the Blue Devils. He shot 6-of-12 for 12 points, and collected seven rebounds, but was called for a controversial

charge on Rodney Hood with 10.4 seconds to play.

Fellow wing Jerami Grant also shined, finishing with a team-high 17 points and eight rebounds.

But the rest of the starters — Tyler Ennis, Trevor Cooney and Rakeem Christmas — managed just 19 points on a combined 6-of-24 shooting.

“We have a lot of poise,” Grant said. “We went 25 straight. Two losses kind of hurts, but at the same time we know that we’ll come back from it now.”

The Terrapins are a quality team, but the Orange may be catching them at the right time. UMD has lost three of its last five, most recently beating a floundering Wake Forest squad 71-60 on Tuesday.

Nick Faust scored a career-high 20 points against the Demon Deacons, shooting 7-of-11 from the field and 4-of-7 from deep.

After the game, Faust told reporters that the team was looking forward to hosting the thenundefeated Orange.

“They’re a great team,” Faust said. “We have a lot of time before we play them. We’re looking forward to practicing and getting better.”

Maryland has now watched two teams knock off Syracuse, and possesses the necessary tools to duplicate the successes of Duke and Boston College.

Forward Jake Layman shoots near 40 percent from downtown and could also hurt the Orange if the Terps stick him in the high post. Dez Wells could have a similar effect on the game, as an athletic dual-threat guard that could hurt Syracuse from the perimeter or around the paint.

While they aren’t an elite-level ACC team, the Terps are still capable of beating the Orange.

For Syracuse, it was a nightmarish flashback to one of the most heartbreaking losses in program history.

On Saturday in the Carrier Dome, the same plague that troubled the Orange against Duke in last year’s national championship game resurfaced once again. No. 2 Syracuse (2-1, 0-1 Atlantic Coast) lost 19-of-27 draws against No. 5 Maryland (3-0, 1-0), and fell to the Terrapins 16-8 in front of 5,283 in its first-ever ACC contest.

“It’s been a concern for us in the past,” Syracuse head coach John Desko said. “But I think Chris (Daddio) has come a long way. We’ve changed some technique there. I think a couple of times we jumped and we shouldn’t have, because that put us in man-down situations.”

Syracuse’s problems at the X have been heavily discussed, dissected and analyzed since the loss to Duke last May. But despite bringing in a new faceoff specialist — Mike Iacono — and spending more time practicing draws than ever before, SU once again struggled to take control of the ball.

The Orange had no answer for Maryland faceoff specialist Charlie Raffa. The junior scooped up loose ball after loose ball. He beat Daddio. He beat Iacono. He beat Daddio again before beating Austin Wentworth.

After keeping Syracuse in the game in the first quarter, Daddio was outplayed in the second. Syracuse went from being up 4-2 to trail-

ing 10-4, due in large part to its inability to gain possession at the X. “Right before that run, I gave a little highfive to Charlie and I saw something in his eyes,” Maryland goalkeeper Niko Amato said. “And boom. He went down and won a faceoff and scored and made continuous plays after that.”

Raffa won 9-of-13 faceoffs in the second quarter. With SU trailing 5-4, Daddio was flagged for an illegal procedure. On the man-up advantage, Terrapins attack Connor Cannizzaro threw a bouncer past Tom Grimm and SU goalie Dominic Lamolinara and into the net.

“He’s a great faceoff guy,” Daddio said of Raffa.

“He got a good start. We were going back and forth for the first couple and then he started getting away a little bit and I got caught in a game of catch-up. That’s the last thing you want to do against a kid who’s better than decent.”

On the ensuing faceoff, Iacono took his first draw of the match and was whistled for a procedural penalty. UMD’s Joe LoCascio found Jay Carlson, who put a shot by Lamolinara from five yards out.

On the next draw, Raffa won it cleanly and went straight through the SU defense, beating Lamolinara with a shot from 10 yards out. SU defender Bobby Tait stood still in disbelief.

Iacono won the next draw, which was met with a sarcastic cheer from the home crowd.

On Maryland’s next possession, Matt Rambo came around a screen and fired a shot past Lamolinara. Bobby Wardwell came in for Lamolinara after the Maryland native yielded

nine goals to his former team.

But for Raffa, it didn’t matter who was in net.

On the next draw, he beat Iacono down the field and took it through the defense himself. Raffa put a shot by Wardwell for his second goal of the game.

“Charlie got into a pretty good groove,” Maryland head coach John Tillman said. “Anytime you get possessions it just allows you to get into a rhythm offensively and it can, at times, make the other team a little more uncomfortable.”

Trailing 14-5, the Orange sent Wentworth to the X. The result didn’t change. Raffa won another draw and Maryland scored another goal.

“I knew that that would be a big part of the game,” Raffa said. “We worked on it all week so I thought that really helped out.”

But it wasn’t just faceoffs. Maryland beat Syracuse in every facet of the game. Maryland had 36 groundballs to Syracuse’s 17. Fifty-five shots to Syracuse’s 32.

Despite blowing out Siena in its season opener, Syracuse only held a 15-13 edge at the X. SU was able to dominate the X against Albany on Sunday, but that was against a trio of inexperienced faceoff specialists. With the Orange facing six of the top teams in the country this year, it’ll have to find an answer at the X soon.

“I think the best thing about today is that we can’t play any worse all-around. It’s never one guy or one position,” said attack Kevin Rice. “If one guy is having a down day then the rest of the team has to step up. I just think as a team, collectively, we need to step it up.” jmhyber@syr.edu

RB Smith struggles at NFL Scouting Combine

By Sam Blum asst. copy editor

Jerome Smith predicted that NFL evaluators would be surprised.

He said that even though his projected 40-yard dash time at the NFL Scouting Combine was around a 4.6, that his actual number would be different.

And it was. Smith posted an official time of 4.84 seconds, which ranked 30th of the 33 running backs that ran in the combine.

The former SU standout finished the 2013 season with a team-high 12 touchdowns while collecting 200 yards on the ground.

He announced his decision to enter the NFL Draft and forgo his final season of college eligibility on Dec. 20, just a week before the Orange beat Minnesota in the Texas Bowl.

CBS Sports has him projected to be drafted in the seventh round, or be signed as an undrafted free agent. His chances of the former took a hit this weekend with a weak showing at the Combine.

Dri Archer from Kent State posted a nearcombine record with his 4.26-second 40-yard dash time.

James Wilder (4.86) from Florida State, Ryan Hewitt (4.87) from Stanford and J.C. Copeland (4.95) from LSU were the only backs to finish behind Smith.

Andre Williams from Boston College, who led Division I in rushing yards, posted a time of 4.56 seconds.

Smith’s performance on the 225-pound bench wasn’t much better. He muscled just 14 reps, good for 24th out of 26 running backs.

He posted a 118-inch broad jump, which placed him 21st out of 33 backs.

His best event was his 36-inch vertical

Overall, though, Smith wasn’t at his best.

And it might cost him.

He didn’t return a call for comment on Sunday night.

Smith will have a chance for some redemption before the NFL Draft in May when he participates in SU’s pro day on March 26 at Manley Field House.

Jay Bromley, the only other SU football player at the Combine, will start his evaluation on Monday morning at 9 a.m. sblum@syr.edu | @SamBlum3

“When he thinks that we were almost cheated, he’s going to fight for us, and that’s what he did tonight,” sophomore guard Trevor Cooney said. “…The percentage is not in your favor, but he fought for what he thought was right.”

In the teams’ first matchup on Feb. 1, it was

behind. And Boeheim’s technical fouls put the game out of reach.

“That was the play,” Boeheim said. “That was the game-decider right there.”

Just like the game in the Dome three weeks ago, the officials played a critical role. In that game, Jabari Parker and Amile Jefferson fouled out before overtime. That game also saw Hood on the other end of a questionable foul, when Rakeem Christmas was credited with a block of Hood in overtime.

On Saturday, it was Syracuse that spent the game in foul trouble. The Orange’s two centers, Baye Moussa Keita and Christmas, both had four personal fouls by the midway point of the second half.

After Keita picked up his fourth with 12:50 remaining, the Blue Devils converted seven of their next nine field goals to build a six-point lead.

But with each punch that Duke delivered, SU countered.

Parker slammed home a ferocious put-back dunk, then Tyler Ennis got to the rim for a layup and Jerami Grant dropped in a floater.

Hood sunk an elbow jumper then Syracuse

the Blue Devils who were arguably on the wrong end of a close judgment down the stretch.

Rakeem Christmas got two fingers on Hood’s high-velocity dunk attempt with 13 seconds left in overtime and SU ahead 88-87. Their upper arms collided as well, but there were no whistle and the Orange went on to win 91-89.

Duke head coach Mike Krzyzewski didn’t erupt. And when he was asked about the play in the postgame press conference, he simply refused to address it.

“I don’t want that to be — this game is too good to talk about one play,” Krzyzewski said.

“Please, I’m not going there at all.”

Boeheim did go there.

He not only said that the call was the worst in college basketball this season — taking away from the excellent growth of a new rivalry between perennial national contenders — but he kept the spotlight on him by joking that he gave the Duke fans something to remember him by.

He compounded his initial mistake by failing to apologize for his outburst, and let down the No. 1 program in the country in its first season as an Atlantic Coast Conference member.

Maybe next time he has a chance, Boeheim will apologize. For a community that revolves around Syracuse and SU basketball, he owes it that.

sunk three straight free throws.

“It was a tremendous basketball game, just like the one at Syracuse was,” Boeheim said. “This was just a different game, but it was a great game.”

As Duke watched its lead slip away, it appeared

Boeheim compared it to a similar play earlier in the half when Michael Gbinije tried to draw a charge against Parker, but was whistled for a block.

That one went against the Orange, and so did the play at the end. SU and Duke could meet again before season’s end, but Saturday’s finish leaves

the feeling that there could have been more.

“I would’ve been happy with a no-call,” Boeheim said. “Let the players finish the game and see what happens. It was a great game, a tremendously well-officiated game.

“I just disagree with that last call.”

I definitely thought it was a block. That’s the new rule. If he’s coming toward you or if he’s already got his gathering step going then it’s a block.

Jerami Grant su forward

that Syracuse was headed to another miracle.

But the iconic moment in this comeback effort wasn’t an improbable basket but a controversial whistle and an angry head coach.

“I definitely thought it was a block,” Grant said. “That’s the new rule. If he’s coming toward you or if he’s already got his gathering step going then it’s a block.”

Traditional fashion show runway moves to virtual reality

F

ashion week — it’s the event for anyone and everyone in the fashion industry.

But for those of us who couldn’t make it, a British retailer found a way. Shoppers in London were able to experience everything from the runway via virtual reality.

Topshop, a British fashion brand, gave its customers a digital window into its runway shows. The retailer partnered with Inition, a London-based 3-D agency, to live stream a virtual reality experience of their Topshop Unique show into their Oxford Circus store.

The show took place on Feb. 16 in Tate Modern’s Turbine Hall, and was streamed through special headsets installed in the windows of their Oxford Circus store. The headsets allowed consumers to step outside of their everyday, hectic lives and into the magical fantasy world that is fashion week.

According to an article in fashion journal Women’s Wear Daily, customers wearing the headsets to watch the show were “promised a 360-degree experience that will blend live action from the runway, backstage and VIP arrivals, along with views of the set design and animated features.”

Where can I get one of those headsets?

Topshop didn’t even stop there. It also live streamed its show on its website, allowing a selection of the looks to be available to buy straight after the show with a delivery time three months ahead of when they would hit stores. The brand also made the makeup and the soundtrack used in the show available to buy online immediately afterwards.

According to Women’s Wear Daily, the brand also utilized social media with live Instagram, Twitter and Vine feeds on the Topshop Unique show page, along with 360-degree images of the show, which will be posted as the show went on.

Topshop is taking the idea of the traditional fashion show and taking it to the next level — a virtual level. Obviously the customers shopping at their store already have an interest in the brand. By allowing them to have such a special look into their brand, they’re creating unique experiences for their customers that will keep them coming back.

Topshop customers don’t just get videos of models slowly sauntering down the runway,

s0ck sistas Morse-Mills says the group has raised money for causes, sent cards of support to ailing family members and created food baskets and gift cards for members who are facing tough times.

Just this past week, the group raised over $300 for Julian Ross, a young SU basketball fan who has cancer.

“That makes you really tear up because that says a lot about the group and the tightness that people feel,” Eisen said. “We couldn’t be eager enough to support each other and send money.”

The “sistas” have each others’ backs. The women share news about themselves and their families, pep talk each other and lend advice in times of need.

Morse-Mills recalled a time when she couldn’t get in contact with her son when he was sick with the flu. She turned to the group for support, and within a matter of hours, another member’s daughter had successfully checked on the ill student, and restored his mother’s peace of mind.

“The thing that is cool is that we’ve supported each other through a lot of things,” said Morse-Mills, whose son is an SU senior. “We’ve developed a really good internet friendship.”

WHEN IN DOUBT, WEAR RED which is all they would get from other websites.

They get an experience that they wouldn’t have unless they actually went to fashion week.

Customers love it when companies make them feel special, and that is exactly what Topshop did — it gave its customers something special.

They took the trend of magazines using specialized content for their websites and iPad versions and have applied it flawlessly to the fashion world at their store.

It will be interesting to see if other retailers decide to follow suit. Topshop is one of Britain’s edgier retailers, always looking to bring the newest trends to its customers.

According to Arcadia Group, its owner, Topshop is the single biggest supporter of emerging design talent in the United Kingdom.

There are already websites that allow viewers to see live streams of shows at fashion week, such as style.com, but Topshop took it a step further by allowing their customers to go backstage and by having animated features in their virtual reality.

I think that it’s safe to say that other design brands all over the world, especially those in the U.K., look to Topshop for new, innovating ideas. And its virtual runway might just be the next biggest one.

It’s hard to say yet if this virtual runway has had any effect on what consumers think about Topshop, but it makes me have more respect for the retailer. By having this experience, it shows that they want all of their customers to have the opportunity to see their runway show. They don’t want the show to only be seen by those who can pay the high price for a ticket.

If other retailers are smart, they will follow the model that Topshop has just presented. Topshop may be the first, but they don’t have to be the only.

For Eisen, the friendship takes on an even deeper meaning. Her sister, her only sibling, passed away two years ago. “Although no one could ever replace the loss which is still so intense,” Eisen said in an email, “I do feel a certain connectivity and closeness just by being able to refer to the group as sistas.”

The “sistas” all believe that their experience is unique to Syracuse University. Several of the moms have tried to start parent groups at other universities their children go to without much success. Morse-Mills said friends whose children go to other schools have even asked to be added to the SU group after hearing about the camaraderie.

“There’s just something unique about Syracuse that you don’t see anywhere else,” Morse-Mills said. “We definitely feel a definite connection knowing we have so many friends out there. I know at the drop of a hat I could call up someone and they’d be there.”

Laifer, who is an alumna as well as an SU mom, said the group has added a new dimension to her Syracuse experience.

“My experience has always been good, but this group has made me a sister,” Laifer said.

“People reach out of me, I reach out to them.

We laugh together.”

su drama “It was slow at first, especially the first scene, but it picked up after that,” said Chris McCurty, a family friend of Wiseman, from Sarah Furnace, Pa. Karen presented herself as a naïve, innocent young woman. Bobby asks Karen to read a novel about fear of the end of the world, which Richard recommended to him.

As the stage rotates, the audience is taken to Bobby’s apartment, where Karen gives her report on the book to Bobby. The set had an ultramodern feel to it, with Rothko paintings hanging on burgundy walls, and a love seat and window bench looking out toward the bustling city.

Karen tried to convince him to pitch the novel

in an attempt to move up in the ranks. Bobby was reluctant at first, but he finally broke down after Karen seduces Bobby, leading him to take her into his bedroom in a final act of desperation.

The audience chuckled at this moment, as it was evident what was going to happen.

Bobby tells Charlie about his decision to pitch the book rather than the movie. Charlie becomes deflated when he finds that his big break in the business may not happen.

As tempers rose between characters, there was a collective gasp from the crowd as the two characters argued before breaking out into a fight. The show was well received, and the audience gave a standing ovation to each actor on stage.

Said McCurty: “Overall, I think everybody was great, everybody did a great job.” ctceva@syr.edu

HUMMUS WHERE

THE HEART IS Goodies pairs authentic Lebanese cuisine with 1950s-style retro diner appearance

By Vekonda Luangaphay staff writer

S

ongs by Lebanese singer Nancy Ajram playing over the speakers of an oldfashioned diner is an odd mix, but Goodies Mediterranean Grill & Cuisine, located on James Street, pulled it off.

When I first walked in, I felt like I was in a 1950s diner, and almost asked the waiter if they served strawberry milkshakes. The setting looked almost like a mini Johnny Rockets; the décor colored with dark reds and bright yellows.

Ornaments like teapots, cups, candles and picture frames from Lebanon were displayed on a shelf — the setup looked out of place.

Goodies’ menu consists mostly of homemade Greek and Lebanese food. However, the restaurant does have a few out of theme menu items, like eggplant parmesan and burgers.

The chef and owners come up with the menu items together, testing recipes with customers by offering dishes as a weekly or daily chef special, which I ordered. Every recipe is inspired from their family’s recipe, and each bite tastes as if you’re eating in their home kitchen.

I like Mediterranean food for its seasoned meats and accompanying vegetables. I also enjoy the use of spices and herbs in their salads, meat and veggie side dishes. Most of all, I love the nuts and honey used in their desserts.

I tasted the kafta, the chef’s special, for $9.99, stuffed zucchini, for $9.99, and the appetizers, baba ganoush, grape leaves and falafel, which was $7.99.

For dessert, I had the baklava with walnuts for $2.

My meal started with a Greek salad, which I thought would be the traditional type of salad with no leaves, but this one had iceberg lettuce.

The garlic salt sprinkled on top was possibly too generous and as well as the sprinkle of feta cheese.

The waiter brought the dishes out fast, and the entrées came out before I finished half of my salad. I ate the kafta, which is seasoned ground beef. I appreciated that the meat wasn’t overly seasoned to extreme saltiness like the salad was, and it wasn’t greasy. A side of hummus and grilled onions and green peppers were served with the meat.

I put all four ingredients in the complimentary pita bread and held the bundle like a taco.

Before making myself a new bundle to enjoy, I jumped to the appetizers. The falafel was packed with herbs and seasonings. It was delicious, but almost a bit too salty for me. My favorite was the baba ganoush, which is like hummus, but made with eggplant instead of chickpeas.

The chef fire-grilled the eggplants to perfection before puréeing it into a baba ganoush: I could taste the smokey flavor through the tahini sauce.

I got distracted from the appetizers when my next entrée came out — zucchini stuffed with meat and rice. It tasted similar to the grape leaves I had as an appetizer. It seemed to me that the chef used the same stuffing, just different vegetables. The stuffed squash had subtle flavors that were comforting in the same way that a vegetable soup is.

After a few bites, I drizzled cucumber yogurt sauce to add extra flavor and a velvety finish.

Every taste after that was smooth and delicious.

I could never resist anything with flaky pastry dough and honey, so I ordered the baklava with walnuts. Every drip of honey, every thin flaky pastry sheet and every crunch of walnut was irresistible.

I could not get enough of the sweet, buttery flavor and the chewy, crispy and crunchy texture. I plan on going back to Goodies Mediterranean Grill & Cuisine for more.

This restaurant has a strong family vibe,

Goodies Mediterranean Grill and Cuisine serves traditional Lebanese dishes, as well as alternative menu items, including eggplant parmesan and burgers. While the Greek salad was oversalted, the kafta was seasoned more evenly. keegan barber staff photographer

where regular patrons are treated like family.

You’ll enjoy your food while listening to Lebanese music and the staff will have you feel more intrigued and curious about their culture. This

staff transformed an American diner into their own cultural sanctuary, ready to share their heritage when you walk in.

‘Speedthe-Plow’ entertains

By Claudia Ceva staff writer

CLOSE-KNIT During basketball season, Syracuse moms bond with Facebook heart-to-hearts, vibrant footwear

As part of a growing Facebook group, more than 100 Syracuse moms sport orange socks on basketball gamedays to support the Orange. The members of the group have never met in real life, but have helped each other out through tough times on social media. courtesy of sock sistas

By Lara Sorokanich feature editor

E

very basketball game day starts the off same way for Syracuse University alumna Jo-Ann Laifer: She gets up in the morning, puts on her orange socks and checks in with her “sock sistas” on Facebook before leaving for work.

While Laifer logs on in New York City, SU mom Julie Morse-Mills comments from Saugus, Mass., and Beth Lee checks in from Calabasas, California. More than 140 SU moms from all over the country belong to the sock sistas’ Facebook group, and the thread

that binds them together is simple: in order to join, you must have a child at SU, you must love men’s basketball and you must invest in an orange pair of socks to wear on game day.

The sisterhood’s Facebook group was originally created for mothers of SU students to connect with each other and get advice. But since its inception a few years ago, the collection of moms has blossomed beyond a parental forum.

Though they’ve never met in person, the group members post on the page multiple times per day. The conversation is a smattering of SU basketball talk, announcements about life events and posts seeking advice.

The group’s pet name, “The Sock Sistas,” was inspired by a common superstition held between Laifer and

It’s just become an offshoot that is a big part of our lives.

Lauren Eisen sock sista

another SU mom, Lauren Eisen. While communicating through the group, the two discovered that they both

religiously wore orange socks on basketball game days. Prior to the team’s recent losses, the two believed their socks were a weighty factor in SU’s near-perfect record this season.

The two shared the sentiment on the page, and the trend instantly caught on with the group’s 100-plus members.

“It’s just become an offshoot that is a big part of our lives,” said Eisen, the mother of a junior who posts in the group daily. “In this digital age, friendships come in all kinds of forms. What never existed before is now possible.”

But the sisterhood goes far beyond just game day tradition and banter. see sock

Satire hit the Syracuse Stage this Friday, and it hit it with a vengeance.

David Mamet’s Tony Awardnominated satire, “Speed-thePlow,” adapted by Syracuse University’s Drama Department, opened on Friday and runs until March 2.

The entire show is portrayed by three SU students: junior musical theater major Alex Thompson, and junior acting majors Tyler Wiseman and Hannah Daly.

Bobby Gould, portrayed by Thompson, is the newly-promoted head of production of a major Hollywood studio. He and his friend Charlie Fox, played by Wiseman, have been friends for a long time and worked together on many projects.

The first scene opens in Bobby’s office. The shelves are lined with old movie reels, along with some books and forgotten manuscripts.

The furniture on the set is sparse, consisting of one desk, three chairs, a bench and a coffee table in the corner of the room. Bobby is seated at his desk, when Charlie comes in with big news.

Charlie had talked to a fictional movie star who wanted to star in an action movie with their company.

Bobby becomes as excited as Charlie about the idea, and asks Charlie to come on board as co-producer if the idea is picked up by the company’s owner.

Richard won’t be able to meet with Charlie and Bobby for another day.

While the two reschedule, the temporary secretary Karen, portrayed by Daly, forms a plan of her own. Her shadow was visible to the audience through all the office scenes, alluding to her nefarious intentions.

The audience seemed to take a while to warm up to the plot. Daly noted that the play was less attended than most of their past plays, alluding that it may be due to time of the play.

“It was much quieter than usual.

Matinee performances are usually attended by our older audiences,” Daly said in an email. “I think the Mamet was a little out of their comfort zones.”

Bobby and Charlie’s relationship entranced the audience, and caused raucous laughter from the audience as the two called each other “whores” and said they were proud to be known as such. see su
