For Kent Syverud, Syracuse University is more than just the man

ent Syverud doesn’t like his office. At least not in its current state.

He has plans to change it, though. He’s already removed a small wall dividing the office to make it more open, and wants to remove the long, brown conference table.

But his office, he says, isn’t an appropriate place to pour money into yet. To Syracuse University’s newest chancellor, there’s a lot more to the university than the person sitting on the top floor of Crouse-Hinds Hall.

His life is sprinkled throughout the room. The Asian art on the wall, the red Everlast boxing gloves and the big white binder of his speeches tucked in the shelf of a bookcase. A Sandra Day O’Connor bobble head nods, paying homage to his time working for the former Supreme Court justice. Photos of his family — specifically his wife, Ruth Chen, and three sons, Steven, Brian and David — sit on his desk and along bookshelves.

One of his desks is a five-feet tall table with two PC computers.

Shandy delights with summertime flavor

By Tom Sharkey staff writer

It’s finally warming up in Syracuse, if only for a couple of days, and to celebrate the arrival of spring, I chose a warm-weather favorite this week: a shandy.

Adding lemon flavor to beer creates a familiar summertime taste and also apparently classifies the beer as a shandy. I love anything lemon flavored, so I was excited to tap into The Traveler Beer Co.’s Curious Traveler Shandy.

You may have heard of “summer beers” or “mud buckets,” both of which — at least in my experience — involve some mixture of beer and lemonade (and sometimes vodka).

Most of my experiences with shandytype concoctions have been with Keystone Light and powdered Country Time lemonade, so it was a luxury to try an “actual” shandy.

I hunkered down outside on my porch with an ice-cold bottle of Curious Traveler Shandy and I took a moment of silence to think about how excited I am for the summer.

(I’m rolling my eyes, too.)

The first few sips of the shandy reaffirmed my excitement, and I was in such a good mood that it might have been impossible for me to not enjoy the beer.

In contrast to my previous shandy experiences, the Curious Traveler Shandy had a really nice balance of malty beer taste paired with the lemon flavoring. In the past, so much lemonade powder was used to mix up a batch of summer beer that I hardly noticed anything besides the lemon taste.

With the Curious Traveler Shandy, I was able to taste the malt, which was a nice reminder that I was actually drinking a beer. I also picked up on a subtle lime taste. It was hard to distinguish, but I finally was able to pinpoint the flavor in my last couple of sips.

Hopefully my choice of a shandy will align the beer gods with the weather gods and we won’t see snow again until fall.

If not, well, I guess I’ll just keep drinking any way.

Applications for the Fast Forward competition closed March 31. Now, judges are narrowing down the submissions to find student videos that will be presented at the Chancellor’s Inauguration April 11.

To participate in the Fast Forward

Students, city residents to barter, exchange skills

By Zach Schweikert staff writer

While most people might associate bartering with early civilizations, a new social project is using the same ideas to foster an exchange of skills between Syracuse University students and residents of the Near West Side.

Barter Day will take place on April 5 at 601 Tully: Center for Engaged Art and Research. The event is part of CampusNeighbor, a project that Gabriel Mugar, a doctoral candidate in the School of Information Studies, started after being a finalist in SU’s Raymond von Dran IDEA competition in 2012. Mugar said this secured him a

spot in the Syracuse Student Sandbox, which aids student entrepreneurs.

CampusNeighbor’s website allows students and residents to create a profile which lists the skills they have, as well as skills they want to learn, Mugar said. The website then matches up students and residents, allowing them to exchange talents and ideas, he added.

Mugar said the Barter Day event gives a chance for these pairs to meet up and work out their trades.

Some examples of services given by the CampusNeighbor website include music and art lessons, tutoring, computer tips and family recipes.

Although the event focuses mainly on

William J. Peace’s battles with neurological deficiencies sent him in and out of hospitals for most of his youth until he was 18 years old, when he became paralyzed. He never expected to reach his 21st birthday.

Peace’s father told him that he needed to live his life fully despite the limits of a wheelchair.

“My parents held me to the exact same standards as my siblings — best thing that could have happened to me,” he said.

Peace will address the social stigma of living with disability on Friday when he hosts the Watson Symposium entitled, “Lives Worth Living” in the Schine Student Center room 304. The event will start at 9 a.m. and run until 5 p.m. The symposium is part of Peace’s duties as the 2014 Jeannette K. Watson Distinguished Visiting Professor.

As many as 100 people throughout the course of the day are likely to attend the event, said Eric Holzwarth, deputy director of the Renée Crown University Honors Program.

Peace’s symposium will focus on disabilities, bioethics and contemporary medicine. Peace’s lecture is entitled “Bioethics, Disability and Lives Worth Living.”

letter to the editor

Author of ‘Coraline’ to speak at Crouse-Hinds Theater this month He’s had a hand in writing novels, short stories, comics, graphic novels and audio books as well as films, television shows and theater productions. He’s won some of the most prestigious awards for many of his works.

He’s coming to Syracuse this April. You’re invited, and you should go.

Neil Gaiman — an author, among many other things — will visit Syracuse as part of the nationally-acclaimed Rosamond Gifford Lecture Series on Tuesday, April 29. His lecture will be at the Crouse-Hinds Theater — Mulroy Civic Center at 7:30 p.m., and is sure to be one of the most entertaining speakers you’ll see.

He’s anything but the boring, monotonous authors that come to mind when students hear the phrase “author lecture.”

You may know him best for his comic book series “The Sandman,” or for his novels “Stardust,” “American Gods,” “The Graveyard Book” or the novel-recently-turned-movie “Coraline.” Maybe you’re one of his astonishing 1.97 million followers on Twitter, attracted to his page by the bio that reads “Will eventually grow up. Until then, will keep making things up and writing them down.” Even if you don’t know him or his works well, you should make the trip to see him speak.

Neil Gaiman is for everyone. After beginning his career in British journalism, he found a voice for fiction so engaging that fans of all genres and ages assembled — just part of the reason he has an almost cult-like following.

Because of this success, he has been able to

write screenplays — he even wrote an episode of “Dr. Who” — and has had his works transformed into films and, probably soon, an HBO series. Anyone from readers to film or comic book junkies can find something to like about Gaiman and his works.

Whether you’re a Neil Gaiman fanatic or just interested in him as a person, you should go to see him speak on Tuesday, April 29. Tickets are available — with special student pricing — at www.foclsyracuse.org or by visiting www. ticketmaster.com. It’s a great opportunity to see such a highly awarded and entertaining international personality so close to home, and will be an experience you won’t forget.

Anti-whaling laws need compromise

W

hales of the Southern Ocean will live without human predation for the first time in almost three decades.

On Monday, the International Court of Justice in The Hague ruled to halt a long-standing Japanese program that has captured more than 10,000 minke and other whales since 1988.

While this ruling will bring benefits to whale populations and oceanic conservation, it is important to remember the differences among cultures when working toward conservation.

Though Japan said that it would abide by the ruling, adding that it “regrets and is deeply disappointed by the decision,” the country argues that the suit was an attempt to impose foreign cultural norms on Japan.

Within international decisionmaking, there must be a middle ground between impositions and working toward the common good. It takes respect on both sides to come to a compromise.

Although the International Whaling Commission has declared a moratorium on commercial whaling worldwide since 1986, a number of countries have lodged formal objections and declared themselves exempt, as the IWC is a voluntary international organization with no ability for enforcement.Apart from formal objections to the IWC, other countries or groups of people

MEG CALLAGHAN

21ST CENTURY TREE HUGGER continue whaling through legal means — via scientific research or aboriginal subsistence.

Japan is a signatory on the 1986 moratorium, but has continued whaling under legal scientific research.

This will come to an end with Monday’s ruling.

In 2010, Australia sued Japan within the International Court of Justice, citing that though the Japanese government claimed it was whaling for scientific purposes, it was really commercial whaling in disguise. The main evidence supporting the ruling is Japan’s limited scientific output from said research, when thousands of whales were captured for research.

The meat from slaughtered whales is sold commercially in Japan after scientific use of the captured whales.

In the case of Japan’s “scientific research” whaling, the court ruling was necessary to end this pretense and falsity. But the end goal of this debate should not be an outright ban of whaling in Japan. A compromise is needed to balance cultural norms and whale conservation.

Every organism on this planet, including humans, must utilize resources to grow and prosper.

Coupling this with complex social histories and demographic characteristics, people across the globe use a variety of different resources. For Japan, its people have historically eaten whale meat.

If Japan can sustainably and humanely hunt whales in and around their country, it should be able to do so. A transparent process can quell international backlash and sustain cultural norms.

Japan does have other options to continue its whaling industry. By accepting this ruling, it can no longer whale in the Southern Ocean and Antarctica, but may continue in other parts of the Pacific, which it should.

Also, Japan can continue whaling if it revises its scientific program and submits it to the IWC. The country also has the option to withdraw from the IWC. As Japan should accept the ruling and continue whaling to a lesser degree, the international community must be accepting of cultural norms that may seem out of the ordinary within our own culture.

Without creating compromises, we will not be able to come together as one world on broad-scale issues such as international whaling and oceanic conservation.

Fast Forward competition shows Syverud’s student-focused initiatives The Fast Forward competition is a strong demonstration of Chancellor Kent Syverud’s interest in students and effort to engage with the Syracuse University campus.

Fast Forward, a video-pitch competition, will be a part of Syverud’s inauguration on April 11.

Entrants submit videos detailing a personal project, and winners are awarded a grant up to $1,500. Of the 66 entries in the contest, 12 winners will be announced on April 7, leading

up to an in-person pitch on the day of the inauguration.

By pairing this competition with his inauguration, Syverud set the tone for the type of focus he hopes to have during his chancellorship at SU. It shows that his goals and ambitions for the campus are student-centric, and that he is engaged with the community.

When it was first announced that Syverud would become chancellor, he indicated he was still trying to figure out what his main goals would be. By

incorporating this competition into his inauguration, it displays that working with students and building stronger relationships with them is a large part of Syverud’s goals.

The video entries are a unique way for Syverud to learn about students on campus and their personal projects. It allows students to directly show their personality to the chancellor, along with their passions.

This competition demonstrates that Syverud recognizes the entre-

preneurial and creative nature of SU. Syverud spent his first day as chancellor meeting with student entrepreneurs and visiting the Syracuse Tech Garden. He’s applying what he’s learned from the students into his initiatives. With SU’s ranking as the fourth-best college for entrepreneurship according to the Princeton Review, Syverud is making this aspect of SU a significant part of the school’s identity.

By promoting this initiative,

Syverud is showing that education at SU is about more than sitting in a classroom. The competition is encouraging students to learn in the best way: personal experiences. It encourages them to pursue their dreams and take advantage of what SU can offer.

This competition sets a positive tone for Syverud’s first semester as chancellor. He should continue having events and competitions like Fast Forward that keep him in direct connection with students on campus.

University of Alabama Student Government Association fails to pass resolution promoting greek life integration

illustration by natalie riess art director

t the University of Alabama, about 27 percent of the college’s more than 34,000 students are involved in a greek organization.

Cathy Andreen, director of media relations for the school, said the university is committed to inclusion, and as a result has one of the most diverse greek systems in the nation.

But last fall, the University of Alabama fell under criticism after a female student was not given a bid to any of the sororities she rushed on account of her skin color. The student is African American.

Now, some members of Alabama’s student government are taking a stand on bias in the greek system.

• pag e

But other members are meeting them with resistance.

The student senate voted to send “A Resolution Supporting the Complete Integration of Fraternities and Sororities on the University of Alabama Campus” to the committee. The resolution was proposed on the last day of the senate session and cannot be carried over to the new term. As a result, this form of the resolution will not pass.

Katie Smith, one of the co-authors of the resolution who presented it on the senate floor and fielded questions about it, said she was surprised by the reception the resolution received.

“Maybe some senators didn’t want to take a stand,” Smith said. “Some don’t think that this is SGA’s place, and I totally disagree with that. I feel like this is our place. We’re student government.

We should be talking about these things.”

Smith said she did not propose the resolution earlier because she feared retaliation from “The Machine,” an underground organization that allegedly influences the University of Alabama’s student government. Smith said that members of “The Machine” approached her and told her not to propose the resolution.

The student senators’ concerns about the resolution were that it called for “necessary action” to address segregation in greek life, which other senators feared implied the need for a quota system, according to a March 26 Huffington Post article.

“Given the history of the University of Alabama in the civil rights movement, it is imperative that the campus takes every necessary action to remove the stigma that currently surrounds this campus regarding its legacy of segregation,” the measure read in the article.

Chisolm Allenlundy, one of the co-authors of the bill, said that any resolution by the student government is non-binding. He said it was only meant to show the student government’s support of integration.

“This resolution was an attempt to basically allow the SGA to take an affirmative stand to encourage integration and to demonstrate to the rest of the country essentially that the student body has support,” Allenlundy said.

Andreen added that the SGA Senate does not determine institutional policies and procedures.

She said the university has developed and implemented plans for future recruitment periods that will help ensure progress in increasing diversity.

Allenlundy said the University of Alabama has a reputation as a racist campus and that, overall, it’s not. He said he hoped that this resolution would help to declare the student government’s support for greek life integration and portray it as an organization that, like the majority of the student body, is not racist. Allenlundy said that other senators are hoping to propose a similar resolution during the next senate session.

“The students at this university by and large are not racist,” Allenlundy said. “They fully support an integrated greek system, but they have no way of channeling their voice through student government. When this resolution is shot down, what it really means is that those students are not being represented.” clmoran@syr.edu

Presentation emphasizes importance of feminist leadership

By Anna Merod staff writer

The Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs held an open dialogue presentation inspiring students to understand the challenges within the recent wave of the feminist movement.

The presentation, held in Maxwell Hall, was part of the Peer-to-Peer speaker series for Maxwell.

Karla Dominguez-Gonzalez and Andrea Svakova, who are both members of the Hubert H. Humphrey Fellowship Program, led the discussion. The fellowship program is designed to bring professionals from designated countries to the U.S. for a year to develop international, professional collaboration skills.

Dominguez-Gonzalez and Svakova are roommates, and the presentation on post-modern feminism was a “great way” to share the discussions they have about feminism at home, Dominguez-Gonzalez said.

Svakova said it is important to question issues

Stephen Kuusisto, director of the honors program, said the professorship is one of the initiatives supported by the Tolley Humanities Center.

The professor comes to Syracuse University for 10 days in the spring semester and delivers a lecture, visits classrooms and is available for scholars and students in their area of expertise.

“A few categories the videos will be judged on include the strength of the idea, creativity and originality, and whether the idea is feasible,” Walas said. “It needs to have an impact on the campus and community.”

of post-modern feminism because feminist ideals could fix a variety of social problems across nations.

“There are new problems evolving in our society and I think feminism has the tools to solve some of these problems,” said Svakova.

Their presentation began by reviewing the history of the feminist movement’s three waves.

The first wave of feminism began in the 19th century and continued through the beginning of the 20th century when women were demanding the right to vote, Dominguez-Gonzalez said. The second wave of feminism emerged in the 1960s when women began to challenge social constructions and the idea of patriarchy, she said.

“It was not about only realizing materialistic differences, but about building awareness of these differences,” Dominguez-Gonzalez said.

She added that the third wave of feminism, known as the “post-feminist era” began in the 1990s and continues today. In the post-feminist era, Dominguez-Gonzalez said, people often question whether or not feminism is still sium include humanities scholars like Nobel Prize and Pulitzer Prize winner Toni Morrison. Karen Ortega, program coordinator of the Tolley Humanities Center, said the position is held every spring semester and is based on submitted proposals by faculty and departments on campus.

In addition to Peace’s lecture, there will also be lectures by Brenda Brueggemann, professor of English and director of composition at the University of Louisville; Barbara Farlow, a researcher and writer on bioethics, and Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Sheri Fink.

Holzwarth said he hopes that the lecture from Fink to close the symposium will help increase turnout. Fink’s closing keynote presentation will include a reading from her book “Five Days at Memorial: Life and Death in a Storm-Ravaged Hospital,” a book that details the events at Memorial Medical Center after Hurricane Katrina and the euthanasia that happened there.

“Who gets saved first during a disaster is a question of values as much as medicine, and I’d like attendees to understand more about how disability plays into these decisions,” Fink said in an email.

In addition to the Watson Symposium and his academic work, Peace runs a blog known as “Bad Cripple” and uses this platform to reach out to others. He hopes the symposium will expand his connection with the disabled community.

Said Peace: “It’s part of what I sense as a moral obligation — to reach other people with disability who don’t have the advantages I have.” rromano@syr.edu

“I think it’s tremendous that the chancellor has thought to include students on his inauguration day,” she said.

Sierra Pizzola, a freshman advertising major, and her alternative spring break group applied for the grant for funding and recognition.

“We’re not an official student organization so we don’t receive funding from the school,” she said.

“Making the video means we get people talking, we generate interest. We want to show people who we are, what we’re doing and how they can help.”

Pizzola and her group’s video focuses on issues such as homelessness and hunger. She said her Spring Break trip to Washington, D.C. and speaking to a homeless person influenced her positively. She has no doubt that this movement will influence others.

“We see it as opportunity. We have been

needed in a society where women have made progress in the workplace.

American women on average earn 81 percent of what men earn in the work force, Dominguez-Gonzalez said. She added that women make up 60 percent of the world’s poorest populations and 35 percent of women worldwide have experienced violence.

“The problem is not solved,” Svakova said.

Svakova and Dominguez-Gonzalez said the book “Lean In” by Sheryl Sandberg, the chief operating officer of Facebook, created some controversy about what barriers still exist for women in the workplace.

Dominguez-Gonzalez said that in Sandberg’s book, Sandberg says a glass ceiling no longer exists and women have been taught to not “lean in.” Now, women just need to be more accountable for their ambition to be as successful as men, she said.

Women should also work to have the right to ‘lean back’ and not be held to the societal expectation of being both a good mother and a

successful businesswoman, she said.

“The ‘lean in’ thing will not work if you do not change the social structure, and we need the right to lean back because we cannot be a super woman,” Dominguez-Gonzalez said.

Svakova ended the presentation by asking the audience to think about the feminist tools they can use to better society as they approach leadership positions.

“The question is: is feminism dead? How do you see yourself helping these issues?” Svakova said.

Bridget Walsh, a senior anthropology major, said she hopes one day to apply these ideas to her goal to open a non-profit providing art education for impoverished children in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

“It’s always interesting to hear from a different setting how I can apply feminist concepts to the kind of work that I want to go into,” Walsh said, “ and the whole concept of ‘leaning in’ and changing the social construction — that’s totally applicable to what I want to do.”

Nakornthap said she and Mugar met last fall to discuss including CampusNeighbor in the exhibit.

“I think it’s a great way to try to break down that town and gown divide that you see so often in so many university towns,” Nakornthap said.

In addition to the event, Barter Day will also feature an exhibit with visual and audio elements, Mugar said. Anda French, an assistant professor in the School of Architecture, designed a computer installation that is part of the exhibit. Visitors can use the computer installation to record themselves explaining the skills they possess and those they desire to have, Mugar said.

Syeisha Byrd, Hendricks Chapel’s director of engagement programs, said residents and students have a lot to share with one another in this bartering event.

“A lot of people just assume that students don’t want to come down there, or residents don’t have anything to share, when they have a wealth of knowledge of skills that they could give back to students, and vice versa,” Byrd said.

Byrd, who grew up on the Lower West Side of Syracuse, said she often didn’t have the opportunity to pursue skills that could now be taught through bartering.

In the future, Mugar hopes to expand CampusNeighbor to include different groups in Syracuse.

He said he is working with the Community Folk Art Center, the Tech Garden and other local organizations to establish future sites where people could barter on their own time.

Mugar said a Gallup-Knight Foundation report inspired him to start CampusNeighbor. According to the report, titled “Knight Soul of the Community,” cities with residents who had pride in their communities had a higher gross domestic product.

Top Relay donators speak out

By Zach Gipson contributing writer

Syracuse University’s Relay For Life always has a vast turnout, and this year has been no exception, with nearly 1,500 participants working toward a goal of raising $100,000.

“Participants have raised nearly $60,000 this year, which is just amazing,” said Sara Curtin, this year’s event coordinator. All proceeds go to the American Cancer Society.

The relay will take place in the Carrier Dome on Friday from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. Teams will camp out throughout the night and take turns walking around the dome. All cancer survivors take the first lap around the track, called the Survivors Lap. Teams come together to raise funds with help from sponsors and donors to participate in the relay. Here’s a look at the three individuals who emerged as this year’s top contributors and their stories.

DANNY BROWN, a hip-hop artist and Detroit native, brought his eclectic rap style to the Schine Underground on Wednesday night. Brown released his critically acclaimed album “Old” last year, and performed hits from both his most recent album and previous record “XXX.”

et to embark on a nationwide tour to promote his recent album “Old,” Danny Brown brought his unique style to Syracuse on Wednesday night to perform hits from his critically acclaimed album in front of a sold-out crowd.

The show, hosted at the Schine Underground on Wednesday night, was the first stop on

Brown’s “The Old Danny Brown Tour” and was the latest installment of University Union’s Bandersnatch Music Series.

“Danny’s name has been buzzing around the UU office for a while now,” said Blair Schulman, co-director of the Bandersnatch series. “We were able to secure a date in early April, and the timing was perfect.”

Detroit native ZelooperZ opened the show for Brown with an energetic performance that was full of surprises. Brown and

ZELOOPERZ, an upstart young rapper and member of Danny Brown’s Bruiser Brigade, opened for Danny Brown during Wednesday night’s Bandersnatch Music Series concert.

When you’re trying to make it, you’ll do a show whenever there’s a crowd. I’ve learned a lot over the years.

ZelooperZ recently linked up through Twitter, and Brown said he wants to be a mentor to the 20-year-old artist.

Before the concert, Brown discussed the start of his new tour and his history of performing on college campuses.

“I’m excited to be back on tour to keep getting the word out about ‘Old,’” Brown said. “We have fun everywhere we go, but I used to play college shows a lot when I was first coming up in the game.” see danny

Sara Freund

For Sara Freund, participating in Relay For Life is an annual affair. The senior writing and rhetoric major has been involved for nearly a decade.

“I’ve done Relay For Life since middle school, continued in high school and now college. My parents have always supported and encouraged me to do it,” Freund said.

During the past few years, Freund has been personally affected by cancer within her own family. Not only have both her grandfather and father battled cancer, but her mother was also diagnosed with cervical cancer just two years ago.

“I was witnessing it firsthand with someone that I’m really close to, and it was just that one moment when I realized everything I had been doing was so important,” Freund said.

When Freund came to Syracuse, she realized that Relay For Life was a big part of the philanthropic scene. During her freshman year, she started a team with her sisters in Kappa Alpha Theta.

This year, she is acting as the fundraising chair on the executive board.

Freund has raised nearly $1,000.

Todd Long

Todd Long, a law student, has never participated in Relay For Life, but that did not stop him from raising nearly $1,200 this year for his team.

This isn’t Long’s first time fundraising, though. In 2011, after losing his mother to glioblastoma multiforme, see relay page 14

a day in the life of the chancellor

She laughs at her husband’s jokes, and he laughs at hers.

She lingers when on the tour of Peck Hall — home to David B. Falk College of Sport and Human Dynamic’s Department of Marriage and Family Therapy — with her husband. She takes time to look at the photos on the wall, and peeks her head into different windows and classrooms.

She observes the small details of the old building, but doesn’t ask a lot of questions.

It’s Syverud who’s asking them.

On the tour, he asks about student safety, as well as student and faculty morale since

Chancellor Syverud prefers to stand there and work rather than sit — he jokes it’s his way of avoiding the Freshman 15. And right below the computers lays a small, yellow sticker.

It reads: “…this will help the students because…”

A day in the life of Kent Syverud consists of shaking a lot of hands — today it was 287.

It’s a day where he writes notes in his black Moleskine notebook and converses with SU employees who, all together, have worked more years than there are feet in a mile. It’s a day where he observes the life of a student, catching a presentation in Peck Hall. It’s a day where he discusses with students how he can better communicate with the younger generation.

He wears a black suit, with a white shirt and a tie — on Monday, its gold with little bumblebees. The chancellor’s day is mostly consumed with meetings — ranging from senior leadership to office staff to alumni to campus events.

But he sees students every day, especially since the move to his new home: the chancellor’s residence on Comstock Avenue.

“I feel like I’m the only person over the age of 30 in a ten block radius,” Syverud says, laughing. “But everyone has been really great. I love seeing students early in the morning when I walk my dog.”

His day begins with breakfast at the Sheraton Syracuse University Hotel & Conference Center with SU employees being recognized for more than 25 years of service. He was slated to arrive at 8 a.m., but Syverud arrives early, meeting everyone at every table. He wears a nametag and introduces himself every time.

Like every speech he would go on to give that day, he opened with a quick joke and thanked everyone who made the event possible. He mentioned the employees at the Sheraton, who had taken care of him and his wife and who had hosted many SU events. He thanked the employees for their work, which “is often taken for granted in the background.”

“I’ve learned that this place is really held together by people for whom this is not a job just, but a calling. This is a community that matters to them, and it matters to them to do a job well day after day, chancellor after chancellor,” he said. “I haven’t been to a university where people stick with it loyally as a career as frequently as Syracuse. I think that’s one thing that makes us stand apart and makes us better than our peers.”

When the breakfast ends, Syverud shakes some more hands and hugs those who helped plan the event. He walks back to his office — he walks almost everywhere on campus.

N

“

For all of us on this Hill, we exist to serve, and inspire you to serve, and mentor you after you’re here.

Kent Syverud

RUTH CHEN, the wife of Chancellor Kent Syverud, looks around a counseling room while Syverud tours an observation room. Syverud stands on the other side of a two-way mirror in Peck Hall, home to the department of marriage and family therapy.

His first official meeting of the day is with the university’s senior leadership, where they prepare for the upcoming Board of Trustees meeting. Syverud sits at the head of the table — that same table he wants to get rid of — with Eric Spina, vice chancellor and provost, sitting to his left and Lou Marcoccia, executive vice president and chief financial officer, on his right.

While Spina talks about the logistics of the meeting, Syverud slowly scans the draft of the agenda with his orange pen. Every so often, he writes down notes in his Moleskine notebook and takes a sip of his coffee.

When the meeting ends, Spina stays for a one-on-one meeting with the chancellor. It’s a standing meeting, as they try to meet frequently to talk about different aspects of the university, such as the ongoing search for the College of Arts and Sciences dean and how to better career services.

At noon, Syverud is scheduled to attend a

luncheon for the 2014 class marshals at Goldstein Alumni & Faculty Center. He’s excited because Faculty is one of the few places on campus where he hasn’t eaten yet.

He walks to the luncheon with Spina. Syverud walks quickly not because he’s running late, but because he likes to be early. That’s what the university gets, he says, when it has a Norwegian chancellor. Punctuality is important.

As he walks down University Place, students stare at Syverud, recognizing the familiar face.

One student takes her headphones off and asks out loud, “Wait, was that the chancellor?”

He opens the door of Faculty, as the different students and staff filter in. And like before, he walks into the dining room, introducing himself to the different student marshals. This time, he spots his wife among the crowd and begins introducing her as ‘Dr. Chen’ to the others in the room.

During the luncheon, Syverud talks about the student’s role as marshals and how impressed he was with all of their accomplishments.

“For all of us on this hill, we exist to serve, and inspire you to serve, and mentor you after you’re here,” he says. “And I really hope we read your stories and the stories of this university going forward.

“We’re very proud of you. Many people in this room are very eager to meet your families and loved ones at commencement, and tell them how much you’ve meant to us and how much you’ve inspired us. So you’re on orders, introduce them to us. Find the time or moment; we are not offended, we are not busy. This is what we live for.”

R CHEN, THOM DELARA, DIANE LYDEN MURPHY AND SYVERUD discuss the department of marriage and family therapy’s recent move to Peck Hall, on Genesee Street. On the tour, Syverud visited the facilities and met a class of students in the college.

uth Chen — Syverud’s wife and now a professor of practice at the L.C. Smith College of Engineering and Computer Science — accompanies the chancellor to a majority of the different campus events and college tours. Like her husband, Chen keeps her style simple: wearing a black suit, orange blouse, realistic and comfortable shoes to walk in, all accompanied by shiny pearl earrings and necklace.

the department moved into the building about a year ago. He pops into the offices of faculty members, and introduces himself to every single one with his firm handshake. He wants to know everyone who works in the office, and his or her role.

“The desks are so clean, they must have known I was coming,” he jokes.

He listens to Dean Diane Lyden Murphy talk about the department’s move in the old, historic building and its national recognition. Impressed, Syverud asks about where the students take classes, where they hang out between classes and the projects they’re working on.

“Would you want to see some of the students?” Murphy asks. “It’s probably the only time they’ll see you till graduation.”

Syverud and Chen are shown into a classroom of about 35 students. He apologizes for interrupting a student’s presentation.

“Hi everyone, I just wanted to introduce myself. I’m Kent Syverud, the university’s chancellor.” As he looks to the PowerPoint presentation slide about signs of facing midlife depression, he jokes, “Oh wow, I hope this project isn’t about me.”

He and Chen then lean against a table in the back of the classroom, listening to the student’s presentation.

As they quietly leave the classroom about five minutes later, Syverud asks Thom deLara, the department chair and leader of the tour, where deLara came from and how he got here.

“Wait, like me personally?” deLara asks.

DeLara then talks to Syverud about his career before Syracuse and his different degrees, as they walk into the conference room.

Syverud passes up sitting at the head of the conference table, giving the seat to the dean instead. It’s her building, not his.

a day in the life of the chancellor email is way too long.

Part of learning how to improve communication involves attending a Student Association meeting. The 7:30 p.m. meeting was the first he attended as chancellor.

“I’ve realized I’ve discovered more when I listen than when I talk,” he says to the student assembly members in Maxwell Auditorium.

In the 75 days he has been chancellor, Syverud says he’s found that students are usually shocked when he asks for their advice.

Of the 50 minutes Syverud speaks, 10 were his opening comments about his time at SU so far and the major problems the university is facing. The other 40 were designated for hearing from the students.

As he answers the questions — ranging from increased tuition to how he plans to connect the different colleges — Syverud casually leans against the podium, making eye contact with each student speaking. His demeanor is more of a professor in a discussion with his students than a leader speaking to his followers.

One student in particular asks how he would feel about having the two student representatives on the Board of Trustees be voting members. Currently, they are not voting members.

“I doubt I will want to change that. But yes, I should just say that really bluntly,” Syverud replies. “Sorry to give you that bad news. But when it’s bad news, I’ll tell you.”

After he finishes answering students’ questions, Syverud returns to his seat and stays for the entire meeting.

And as the meeting comes to a close around 9 p.m., so does the chancellor’s day.

He walks back to his new home at the chancellor’s residence, and the on way passes the illuminated campus buildings. But as he makes his way through the quiet campus, he isn’t alone; he walks alongside a student, giving him advice about life after Syracuse.

Fifteen hours after he started his day, it still wasn’t about the man at the top. mhnewman@syr.edu | @MerNewman93 For videos and more photos from a day in the life of Chancellor Kent Syverud, see

For now, he’s content with communicating with students through email. The university, he says, needs to improve communication amongst administrators, students and staff.

danny brown Brown recounted stories of taking a Greyhound bus to any campus that would pay him $500 at the very start of his career. With “The Old Danny Brown Tour,” Brown said he’s doing shows in front of bigger crowds that can reach up to 2,000 fans.

Although Wednesday night was the first show on his new tour, Brown wasn’t rusty at all on stage — he recently performed at South By Southwest with ZelooperZ, and their performance had many buzzing, particularly about ZelooperZ’s promising talent.

“Man, that was crazy. I could just tell the crowd was really feeling me, and I try to focus on bringing something new into my performances,” ZelooperZ said. “I can’t believe I’m really on tour now, it’s awesome.”

It was clear right away when ZelooperZ took the stage that his performance style goes against the grain. Parts of his set were abrasive, but he kept the audience by his side for the ride, and the result was refreshing and wholly impressive.

A fter a short break, Brown took the stage and kept the energy level elevated the entire time. Debuting a new green hairstyle, Brown performed hits like “Handstand,” “25 Bucks” and “Kush Coma,” all of which appear on “Old.”

Considering his famously rapid delivery and eclectic f low, Brown’s execution on stage was remarkable. He rapped technically challenging verses with precision throughout the set before closing out the show with an invigorating performance of his hit single “Dip.” It has been a long road filled with hard work for Brown, who turned 33 last month. He said that touring has always been a big part of his career, and he recalled playing nine shows in one week at SXSW a few years ago.

“When you’re trying to make it, you’ll do a show whenever there’s a crowd. I’ve learned a lot over the years,” Brown said. “I want to be a mentor for Z to help him on the journey and make sure he doesn’t make the same mistakes I did.”

ZelooperZ said that Brown has treated him like a brother since he starting hanging out with him and his Bruiser Brigade crew.

The rookie joined Brown on stage for most of his set, and their chemistry together was clearly apparent.

While Brown continues to promote “Old” to fans across the U.S., ZelooperZ plans on focusing on his new album, “HELP.” “The album is done, and it ’s going to surprise a lot of people,” ZelooperZ said.

“Right now I just want to enjoy the moment and put on dope performances for people on this tour.”

Brown Tour” was any indication, both Brown and ZelooperZ have promising futures ahead.

Brown has become a favorite among critics, notably for his sophomore album “XXX” and now with “Old.” Both rappers have abandoned the status

quo in their genre to introduce new sounds and styles to fans. Brown serves as a prime example of how working hard can pay off, and ZelooperZ stands to benefit from learning from the “Old,” wise rapper. tsharkey@syr.edu

GLASS ACT Syracuse Stage interprets classic Tennessee Williams play “The Glass Menagerie”

By Erik van Rheenen asst. feature editor

S

yracuse Stage’s mission is to boldly interpret the plays it produces, and even a playwright as iconic to American theater as Tennessee Williams is no exception to the rule.

From opening night on April 2 to April 27, Syracuse Stage will present “The Glass Menagerie,” the play that sparked Williams’ prolific career. “‘The Glass Menagerie’ made Tennessee Williams a theatrical star,” said Kyle Bass, Syracuse Stage’s resident dramaturge, or play researcher and developer.

Part of that interpretation involves projecting images and text onto the stage, Bass said. The play marks the last show of Syracuse Stage’s 2013-2014 season.

Syracuse Stage is no stranger to Williams’

productions — the theater has done renditions of the Pulitzer Prize-winning Southern playwright’s celebrated works, including “Cat on a Hot Tin Roof” and “A Streetcar Named Desire.” It’s also revisiting the classic play: Syracuse Stage did a production of “The Glass Menagerie” back in 1999.

As dramaturge for the production, Bass was charged with interpreting William’s original work for Syracuse Stage’s play.

“It’s exciting,” Bass said. “If you do a play the same way all the time, it’s the quickest way to have it die.”

Of Williams’ lengthy list of writing credits, “The Glass Menagerie” is one of the most semibiographical, featuring characters based on his mother, his sister and himself. But Bass stressed that the play is not an all-out autobiography.

“We’re not telling the story of Tennessee Williams,” he said. “We’re telling the story of Tom Wingfield. It’s a play about memory, not

just a historical point in time.”

The plot recounts narrator Tom Wingfield’s recollections about his mother Amanda’s fixation on finding a suitor for his insecure sister, Laura. The show first premiered in 1944 before making the leap to Broadway in 1945, bringing Williams with it into the limelight.

Timothy Bond, the producing artistic director of Syracuse Stage and SU Drama, will direct the play’s cast of four. The cast features Joseph Midyett as Tom Wingfield, Elizabeth Hess as Amanda Wingfield, Adriana Gaviria as Laura Wingfield and Michael Kirby as the Gentleman Caller.

When “The Glass Menagerie” became Williams’ first major hit, the playwright gave half of the royalties to his mother. The play was a reimagining of Williams’ “Portrait of a Girl in Glass,” a short story he penned in 1943 before being published in 1948, Tickets for Syracuse Stage’s production of “The Glass Menagerie” range from $30–52. Rush tickets will also be available on performance days for $18 for theatergoers with valid student IDs. Bass said Syracuse Stage explored the diversity of the play as part of its interpretation, though the show still follows the story, setting and themes established by Williams in its original form.

“The play really speaks about the human truth,” Bass said. ervanrhe@syr.edu | @TheRealVandyMan

The internationally recognized acrobatic dance company — founded in 1992 by French choreographer Jacques Heim — will dance the night away at the Landmark Theatre on Friday. They call their dancing “architecture in motion,” since the company’s choreography takes them over huge sets and structures. Diavolo will perform two pieces, “Fluid Infinities” and “Trajectoire.” “Trajectoire,” set to Philip Glass’s Symphony No. 3, was co-commissioned by SU Arts Engage.

Google prank dashes columnist’s dreams of being Pokémon Master

W

aking up Wednesday was like waking up from a fantastic, incredible dream and realizing you didn’t actually win a million dollars and have a torrid affair with David Beckham. Instead, you’re still living in your off-campus, heat-deprived apartment, sleeping in a Beckham-less bed.

When I heard Google’s April 1 announcement, I set about rearranging my life now that I had the opportunity to make my dreams come true.

“This is it! It’s happening!” I screamed at my housemate as I frantically packed my bag with everything I would need for my journey — a filea-fax full of Pokémon cards and my smartphone with the upgraded version of Google Maps.

I ran up to my boss and quit on the spot. I ran to Hall of Languages and dropped out of all of my classes for the remainder of the year. I yelled “Suck it, everyone!” as I left the building, which I imme-

diately felt was too much and instantly regretted.

But no matter — I was finally going to fulfill my dream of becoming a Pokémon master.

I wrote my parents a letter (despite my Google Maps savvy, I am inexplicably unable to use my phone’s email or text message function) and told them I didn’t know where I’d be for the next few months. Take care of Grandma for me, I said. This had to happen now.

But as I turned on my laptop, ready to write my farewell Facebook status to the world as I embarked on my magnum opus of epic journeys to catch ‘em all, I saw a status that troubled me.

“Did you see the Google Maps April Fools’ prank? Genius.” memory.

Soliciting donations from family, friends and local businesses for the National Brain Tumor Society, the duo set a fundraising goal of $5,000.

In just two months, they managed to accumulate more than $6,000 in funds.

I felt my insides burn with a rage I shan’t be able to describe. A prank? How could this be? Was it too late to re-register into all of my classes and get my job back? Didn’t Google know they were playing with my hopes and dreams with this so-called prank, dangling this opportunity of a lifetime in front of us, taunting us?

Something else began troubling me at this point. If this faux-excursion had all just been a ruse, what else was out there? Could no one be trusted on this day of days? They said beware of the ides of March, but no one had fully prepared me for the horror of the first of April.

Defeated, I logged into my LinkedIn account with a heavy heart. Sure enough, I found that the profiles of all of my newfound connections, all of whom were cats, were falsified. In fact, the entire new program, known as LinkedIn CYMK, or Cats You May Know, was nothing but a sick joke

from someone who deliberately wanted to toy with my emotions.

As it turned out, I hadn’t met any of these cats, and it seemed unlikely they were ever going to help me make any professional connections in the feline industry. The Pokémon hunting game was out, and my foolproof plan B just swirled down the drain before my very eyes.

So, as I reevaluate my entire life over the next few days, I will just warn people of one thing: If you are pulling April Fools’ Day jokes, try not to make them so outrageously hilarious and awesome as those of Google and LinkedIn. My heart is still broken.

“We called it ‘We Ran the Long Way’ because our last name is Long,” he said.

Long is this year’s fundraising chair for the Syracuse University College of Law team. The team has raised almost $2,000.

This year, Long plans to wear a weight vest for two hours during the full 12-hour walk as a reminder of the people he’s walking for.

Said Long: “By doing that, it makes donors feel like they’re actually participating by coaxing me ahead.”

“I feel like almost everyone has been touched by cancer. My family has been, family friends — it’s like that sixth degree of separation, but smaller,” said Stark, a junior advertising major.

The most successful team this year has been Alpha Xi Delta’s, which has raised more than $5,500 in donations. Stark is the driving force behind the efforts, raising more than $2,500 on her own.

“I’m floored at how unbelievably generous people have been,” Stark said. “Watching that little bar fill up on our page has been unreal.”

Stark said she is excited to be participating in the Luminaria Walk — her favorite part of the relay — by commemorating those who have passed with lanterns.

Said Stark: “It’s a beautiful and emotional event. Everyone is there for each other. It’s great to be a part of.”

Marisa Stark

When Marisa Stark was younger, she would often collect books and winter clothes to donate to kids in need. She has continued her giving ways as a college student, serving as Alpha Xi Delta’s internal philanthropy chair. And, like many others participating this year, Stark has been affected by cancer.

Chelsea DeBaise is a senior writing major.

Her friend pointed out to her that there would be no water Pokémon hiding in her hometown of Rochester because nothing can survive in the Genesee River. She can be reached via email at cedebais@syr.edu or on Twitter @CDeBaise124.

Orange uses Q statistic to measure quality plate appearances

By Connor Grossman staff writer

Q.

It’s not as commonplace as batting average or on-base percentage, but the statistic Q is just as highly regarded in the Syracuse program.

It’s a calculation that SU hitting coach Matt Nandin jots down in a scorebook to keep track of his players’ quality at-bats each game.

Quality at-bats are something Syracuse (1316, 6-5 Atlantic Coast) up next prides itself on and strives to achieve with VS Maryland (DH) @ College Park, Md. each trip to the plate.

The Orange will look Saturday, 1 p.m. to accumulate as many Qs as it can as it prepares to face North Carolina State (20-10, 10-4) in a three-game series on Saturday and Sunday.

“The mentality for us is quality,” head coach Leigh Ross said. “The mentality for us is going deep in the count, fouling everything off to find a good pitch.”

The designation of the Q for each at-bat is not just the discretion of Nandin, but rather is defined by a set of specific circumstances in which a player can achieve a quality at-bat.

A player will earn a Q during an at-bat if she gets a base hit, walks, gets hit by pitch, advances a runner from second to third with nobody out, sacrifice bunts, hits a sacrifice fly, records an RBI, hits a ball with gusto or has an at-bat that lasts eight pitches or longer.

In a game where failure 7-of-10 times is deemed a success, the formula behind a quality at-bat reflects just that. Only one circum-

stance of the eight involves succeeding with a hit, while everything else could be deemed a lesser accomplishment.

Nandin said using this new avenue to measure success is a move to boost confidence, which he claims is imperative to any hitter.

“It’s silly to have a couple of bad hits like bloop singles and feel better than if you hit three line drives and they were all caught for

WHAT IS Q? A player will earn a Q during an at-bat if she: • Gets a base hit • Walks • Gets hit by pitch • Advances a runner from second to third with no outs • Sacrifice bunts • Hits a sacrifice fly • Records an RBI • Hits a ball with gusto • Has an at-bat that lasts eight pitches or longer

outs,” he said. “You did everything correctly, but didn’t succeed statistically.

“The more confident you are hitting, the easier it is.”

Certain elements of a quality at-bat could stand to be improved by the Orange. This season SU has a total of 11 sacrifice hits, toward

the bottom of the ACC. In addition, hitters Mary Dombrowski, Shirley Daniels and Sydney O’Hara are leading the ACC in strikeouts.

Ross isn’t trying to preach a “small ball” style of play. Q is simply a way of reminding the team that success can come without collecting a hit.

“If you get out and don’t see a “Q” next to your name on the roster,” junior outfielder Mary Dombrowski said via email, “you know you have to change your approach for your next at-bat.”

For SU, it’s all about trying to find a balance to achieve success. A balance in the different kinds of quality at-bats is the mantra instilled in the players’ heads.

Syracuse — which leads the ACC in strikeouts and places fourth in home runs — looks to

be far from balanced, but focusing on achieving a Q each at-bat is helping the cause.

“A balanced offense with an even number of hits, to strikeouts, to walks, to sacrifice bunts, is really important,” sophomore shortstop Corrine Ozanne said. “Home runs will come and all, but its more important than anything to balance out the offense.”

The Orange hopes the balance will come as it continues playing out its season. For now, veterans on the team like Dombrowski are ensuring every player seizes each at-bat to produce quality results.

Said Dombrowski: “It’s about bettering yourself with each and every opportunity you are given.” cmgrossma@syr.edu

binghamton After mitigating some early-season question marks in a convincing win over the Fighting Irish, the Orange nearly suffered a letdown loss to a lesser team that has played well this season, but also lost by a combined 45-16 margin in its last three trips up Interstate-81.

“They came out fired up,” SU midfielder Scott Loy said, “and they really played us well.”

In addition to Syracuse holding a significant talent advantage over the visitors, Binghamton was — for much of the game — a shorthanded version of the team that lost to No. 16 Colgate by one and No. 2 Cornell by six earlier this season.

Starting goalie Max Schefler did not play due to a death in his family, giving way to freshman Tanner Cosens. And faceoff specialist Alex Doerflein left with a hamstring injury in the first quarter after winning the game’s first four draws, and didn’t return.

But the Bearcats received strong performances from Cosens and Dan Mazurek at the faceoff X, leaving head coach Scott Nelson wondering what could have transpired had his team been at full strength.

“There’s going to be a lot of what if, especially when I look at the film,” Nelson said. “But they’re going to do the same thing. I’m sure they’re saying they could have played a lot better.”

What Nelson will see is that his team didn’t just stick with the top-flight Orange, but broke its offensive rhythm and had multiple chances to capture an upset win.

Syracuse trailed by one after the first quarter, with a compact Bearcats defense forcing it into sloppy play. The usual pace of the Orange attack was absent. Its normally crisp passing was replaced by consistent fumbling and errant turnovers.

SU carried a meek one-goal lead into halftime, and Binghamton rode a jolt of energy to start the third quarter to take a 6-5 lead. Goals

by Johnny Maher and Kelly Donigan came in a two-minute span, each igniting an on-field celebration as well as a sizable Binghamton crowd from page 20

richardson Gait said. “Kelsey’s one of them and she’s done a great job.”

Richardson started the second half in SU’s win against Duke on Saturday, holding the Blue Devils scoreless for about 14 minutes as the Orange went on an 8-1 run to put the game out of reach.

But even with her strong play — against Duke and on the season — she’s been forced to share the in-goal duties with Costantino. They both tend to play half the game, with the starter role changing game-to-game.

“It’s definitely been challenging at times,” Richardson said.

But despite mending her approach and sharing the goal more than she did last season, Richardson has played well. Gait, who has employed the twogoalie system for a few years, doesn’t have any plans to change it with his team sporting one of the nation’s top records.

Richardson said all she cares about is doing her job once her name is called, and stays prepared by practicing against some of the country’s best attacks. She often bounces ideas off of SU’s leading scorer Kayla Treanor, and gives her advice in return.

And even if it’s hard to defend against their scoring ability, the practice experience has helped her make tactical and mental adjustments, and excel in games.

“It’s definitely easier to get to know the player’s tendencies once you’re with them all year round,” Richardson said. “We have some of the best shooters in the country and I think that only helps us as goalies to get even better.” sblum@syr.edu | @SamBlum3

behind the visitor’s bench.

“They were patient offensively,” Desko said.

“I think they’re used to playing tight games and they didn’t panic.”

In the days leading up to the game, Desko talked with his players about avoiding a drop off in their performance. And while the Bearcats stayed evenkeeled in an up-and-down second half, it seemed that Syracuse was heading in that direction.

Michael Antinozzi drew the Bearcats within one with 7:22 remaining, and the Orange followed with three straight turnovers that breathed life into Binghamton while sucking it out of the Dome.

The crowd was quiet and all that could be heard was the communication on the field. Only did the stadium liven when celebratory music followed Rice’s empty netter. But even then, the Orange only lightly jogged onto the field.

In a year full of games against premier, Top10 opponents, a game that was supposed to be a breath of fresh air was anything but.

“For both teams, you’re coming off a big game and then you only have a couple days to prepare,” Desko said. “It’s not an excuse for us and it’s not an excuse for them, but you have what you have.” jcdoug01@syr.edu | @Dougherty_Jesse

Galasso excels in midfield; 7 SU players score

By Jesse Dougherty and Josh Hyber the daily orange

Nicky Galasso has spent much of this season adjusting to the midfield.

The junior — who transferred from North Carolina and sat on the Syracuse sideline with a foot injury for all of last season — has moved from his natural attack position to the Orange’s midfield and displayed the strides he’s taken against Binghamton on Wednesday night.

“I had a little setback in the beginning of the year and it just takes a little bit of time,” Galasso said. “But I feel like I’m getting more and more comfortable as practice goes on. The first midfield line keeps helping me out during practice and it’s key.

“Now when we get to the games I’m just more and more comfortable and ready to play.”

Galasso was a working part of the offense for much of Syracuse’s (6-3, 1-3 Atlantic Coast) 10-8 win over the Bearcats (3-6, 1-0 America East) and tallied one goal when he knotted the score at 6-6 in the third quarter. On the heels of that goal, the Orange built a three-goal lead that it wouldn’t relinquish, which underscored Galasso’s importance as a versatile scorer on SU’s second midfield line.

“We started getting more movement,” SU midfielder Scott Loy said of the stretch following Galasso’s goal, “and started putting the ball in the back of the net.”

The second midfield line — consisting of Galasso, Randy Staats and Billy Ward — didn’t see the field for the first six minutes of the

game, but gained a strong foothold in the lineup as the game moved on.

Each player is a converted attack and it was Galasso who showcased that. While he’s waded into the midfield this season, most of his shots have been from distance.

But after collecting a feed behind the net, a defender overplayed him and he took advantage. He swooped in to the left side of the cage and released a low shot that bounced past Binghamton goalie Tanner Cosens and into the back of the net.

It was a move he has rarely used this season, but certainly isn’t foreign to him.

Galasso said: “I used to be an attackman. I’m pretty used to doing that.”

We started getting more movement and started putting the ball in the back of the net.

Scott Loy su midfielder

Seven players score for balanced SU attack

Proving just how deep and balanced the Syracuse attack is, seven different players scored the team’s first seven goals.

When the game ended, no Syracuse player had scored more than two goals in the

Orange’s victory.

“That’s the way we like to play, the ball doesn’t really get stuck on anybody’s stick for too long,” Syracuse head coach John Desko said. “We share it and we kind of take what they give us. The way we run the offense, teams have to slide. And sometimes different players get the short sticks, which we try to take advantage of.”

Three of the first seven goals were scored by the second-line midfield — with one each from Staats, Ward and Galasso. Two came from the first-line attack — Dylan Donahue and Kevin Rice— and two came from the first-line midfield of Loy and Hakeem Lecky.

Seven different players scored SU’s 10 total goals, with Rice, Staats and Donahue each netting two.

“That’s how our offense always is,” Loy said.

“We’re very unselfish and we like to share the ball. Whoever’s open is going to shoot.”

Of Syracuse’s 31 shots, 13 came from the second-line midfield — the most of any Syracuse group. Staats and Ward tied for the team lead with six shots apiece, and Galasso scored on his only attempt.

The first-line attack unit of Rice, Donahue and Derek Maltz and the first-line midfield of Lecky, Loy and Henry Schoonmaker each had nine shots.

Said Desko: “I think some of the other games the attack will score more and in other games the middies will score more due to the type of defense we’re seeing in individual play.” jcdoug01@syr.edu | @dougherty_jesse jmhyber@syr.edu

faceoffs After winning 15-of-24 draws in Syracuse’s 11-10 win last Saturday against Notre Dame, Daddio was inconsistent at the X on Wednesday night, winning just 10-of-22. The senior lost the game’s first for draws against Alex Doerflein, and the Bearcats took early 1-0, 3-2 and 4-3 leads.

But it could have easily gone much worse for Syracuse. Doerflein pulled his hamstring midway through the first quarter and didn’t play for the rest of the night.

Doerflein was replaced by freshman Dan

Mazurek, who finished the night 8-of-18.

“The first five or six just got out of hand and got away from me,” Daddio said. “I just kind of came off after that and calmed myself down a little bit and just tried to go out there confident, like it never happened.”

Daddio earned his first win after Mazurek was called for an illegal-procedure penalty to start the second quarter. Though he won three of last four faceoffs of the half, Syracuse didn’t gain any momentum. There was an eight minute gap — from 9:04 to 1:25 — with no faceoffs.

Against Notre Dame, Daddio took advantage of drawing the ball back to wings Peter Macartney and Matt Harris. Although Macartney finished Wednesday with three groundballs —

second only to Daddio’s seven — they all came in different quarters.

Nothing was continuous for Syracuse until the Galasso goal.

That’s when Daddio won three straight draws — which Mazurek credited to Daddio doing a good job timing the referee’s whistle — and Syracuse scored four straight goals over a five-minute span.

“I thought the six-minute spurt in the third quarter really hurt us when they got up by three,” Nelson said.

Scott Loy fired a shot past Bearcats keeper Tanner Cosens to give the Orange the lead. In a man-advantage situation, Dylan Donahue gave the Orange its biggest lead of the night– a

two-goal lead at 8-6.

Randy Staats completed the stretch with a goal to extend the lead to 9-6.

In the fourth quarter Daddio did just enough, winning half of the draws.

For Daddio, it was the second game in a row he’s taken all of the team’s faceoffs. While the player taking the draws is consistent, the results have been anything but.

But for one key stretch, Daddio was, and it propelled Syracuse to a win.

Said Desko: “It seemed like when we got the faceoffs and Chris got it out, I think he relaxed and started to get it down. That helped us at the offensive end of the field.” jmhyber@syr.edu

Daddio lifts SU at X in 3rd quarter

By Josh Hyber staff writer

RANDY STAATS eyes a Binghamton defender in Syracuse’s 10-8 win over the Bearcats at the Carrier Dome on Wednesday. Staats scored two goals, but the seventh-ranked Orange couldn’t break away. SU used a four-goal second-half spurt to get the win. spencer bodian staff photographer

Syracuse trailed Binghamton by a goal early in the third quarter. The Bearcats had won 9-of-14 faceoffs to that point, and led the Orange 6-5.

But with one flick of the wrist, everything changed. Nicky Galasso’s goal with 9:17 left in the third quarter tied the score at six. Syracuse faceoff specialist Chris Daddio won three straight faceoffs, and SU went from trailing 6-5 to leading 9-6.

It was that small burst that led No. 7 Syracuse (6-3, 1-3 ACC) to a 10-8 victory over Binghamton (3-6, 1-0 America East) on Wednesday night in front of 1,847 at the Carrier Dome.

Both Syracuse head coach John Desko and Binghamton head coach Scott Nelson said that the game’s flow went as faceoff flow went.

“It was a pretty poor start on my part,” Daddio said. “It kept them in the game. I mean, they stayed in the game the entire time. And then toward the middle of the game I got in a little bit of a rhythm there, winning some, and we started pulling away.” see faceoffs page 19

Syracuse stumbles to lackadaisical win over Binghamton, narrowly avoiding upset loss

By Jesse Dougherty asst. sports editor

F

our days after Syracuse stormed onto the field in emphatic fashion after beating Notre Dame, its second straight post-win celebra-

tion was subdued.

Kevin Rice drifted past a Binghamton defender and in front of an empty net before bouncing in the game-icing goal, then slowly walked into a crowd of teammates where shy fist bumps awaited.

The line of Syracuse bench players — which usually breaks out in a pseudo mosh pit — stood in place and lightly clapped, and the crowd — which usually greets every goal with an ovation — was only dotted by standing fans.

“Would we have liked to have been

a little more fired up? Yes,” SU head coach John Desko said. “But we’ve gone through that and it was a big win.”

At the onset of the game, the stage was set for No. 7 Syracuse (6-3, 1-3 Atlantic Coast) to put another strong win on its spotted schedule after cap-

turing its first-ever ACC victory on Saturday. But it had a hard time matching Binghamton’s (3-6, 1-0 America East) intensity on both ends of the field in an eventual 10-8 win in front of 1,847 in the Carrier Dome on Wednesday night. see binghamton page 16

women’s lacrosse

Richardson adjusts stance in net, succeeds in reduced time

By Sam Blum asst. copy editor

Kelsey Richardson was the only option.

Growing up, her two older, lacrosseplaying brothers, who both played attack presented her with a problem.

There was no goalie for them to shoot on. So they had her suit up and stand in the goal in their front yard and save their shots.

“It was a challenge and it was fun,”

Richardson said. “I think it definitely helped me now because they shoot a lot harder than some of up next the girls that I face now.

VS Virginia Tech “I fell in @ Blacksburg, Va. love with it.”

Saturday, 1 p.m.

R i c h ardson has carried that passion to Syracuse, where she is one of the Orange’s two starting goalies along-

side Alyssa Costantino.

After playing more minutes and earning All-Tournament honors last year, Richardson is playing less and taking a different strategy to the net this season. But she’s adjusted well and compiled a .380 save percentage while helping to captain a strong defense for No. 3 Syracuse (11-1, 3-1 Atlantic Coast), which will look to continue its hot start at Virginia Tech (6-5, 0-3) on Saturday.

“Kelsey’s always really well prepared,” SU defender Mallory Vehar said. “She knows the personnel, knows where to go. Has great vision.

That’s a big thing the goalie has an advantage of is kind of seeing the entire field from the goal.”

SU head coach Gary Gait and assistant coach Brett Queener came to Richardson about changing her approach in goal this season. They looked at where they were at and the direction the team

was headed, and decided that an adjustment needed to be made.

So they had Richardson step out more to take away shooters’ angles.

In doing so, Gait hoped that Richardson would force shooters to either hit the top corner of the cage or have to step around the goalie.

“I appreciate players that two, three years into it that are willing to make adjustments to their game,” see richardson page 16
