Bakery to open near Marshall

year in sports

By Anna Merod staff writer

Students will soon be able to enjoy a freshly made, locally produced cupcake in walking distance of campus.

Between Faegan’s Café and Pub and Dunkin’ Donuts on South Crouse Avenue, a new bakery will open, aptly named Hot Crouse Buns. The bakery will sell baked goods from other local bakeries in Syracuse, such as Geddes Bakery, Lyncourt Bakery and Harrison Bakery, said Frank Gigliotti, the owner.

“We’re just your typical bakery that doesn’t bake,” Gigliotti said.

Gloria Taylor, the manager of Hot Crouse Buns, said she will be able to customize and decorate cakes whenever students want them. Gigliotti said see hot

5-star signee McCullough nears arrival at SU after tumultuous year

By Trevor Hass asst. sports editor

N

EW YORK — Walking into the Brewster (N.H.) Academy locker room before a game was nothing new for Chris McCullough.

But on Dec. 14, McCullough entered the room, which he used to call his home, as a visitor. He joked and got dressed with his old teammates, just like he used to.

Though his life changed completely in just one month, McCullough felt like nothing was different at all.

“I came right back and felt like I

was still there,” McCullough said.

“I had to go to the locker room and show love to them.”

After getting kicked out of Brewster on Nov. 11 for a violation of school rules, he moved from blustery Wolfeboro, N.H., to tropical Bradenton, Fla., to start over at IMG Academy — his third school in as many years. And in just a few weeks, he’ll start over again, this time at Syracuse.

Touted as arguably the program’s best recruit since Carmelo Anthony, McCullough, the No. 15 recruit in the nation according to Scout.com, will look to live up to the hype that’s

He doesn’t like to talk about that part of his past. It’s simply a part of who he is — like the tattoo commemorating his murdered cousin. Or the birthmark that splotches his right arm. Or his high-flying athleticism.

Just a fragment of an eventful past. A blip he won’t let stop him from getting to where he wants to be.

Men plead not guilty to burglary Alleged Hall of Languages burglar’s case to be heard by drug treatment court

By Jacob Pramuk asst. news editor

A homeless man arrested outside Hall of Languages in February pleaded not guilty to a burglary charge on Wednesday morning. He will go before a treatment court to determine, contingent on a further plea, if drug addiction treatment or criminal prosecution is the best option moving forward.

County Court Judge Joseph Fahey granted Duncan “Wonderboy” Miller, 21, a judicial diversion, which allows him to go before a Syracuse City Treatment Court. Miller will go before the court on May 5, where City Court Judge James Cecile can see burglary page 10

IPA packs flavorful punch with earthy vibe

By Tom Sharkey staff writer

It has been my pleasure to sample a variety of beers this semester, and though it may seem like an easy job, I took it very seriously.

Up until now I made an effort to taste beers from all walks of life: stouts, lagers, porters and even an organic wheat ale. With my final stab at a beer review, I unabashedly chose my favorite beer: Ithaca Brewing Company’s Flower Power India Pale Ale. IPAs will always be my favorite kind of beer. They’re hoppy, flavorful and usually have high alcohol content, all of which make for an enjoyable drinking experience.

My search for the perfect IPA was long and arduous. My go-to move has always been asking the bartender, “What IPAs do you have on tap?” whenever I’m at the bar. So when the kind gentleman at Al’s Wine & Whiskey Lounge in downtown Syracuse suggested Flower Power, I heeded his advice.

Boy, am I glad I did. The ale was

delivered to me in a pint glass that I have since learned is called a “nonic” pint glass — think of a typical pint glass that bulges slightly near the top.

It had a tall, off-white foam head and the beer was a cloudy amber color.

The Flower Power IPA is undoubtedly one of the most flavorful and unique-tasting beers I have had the pleasure to enjoy. It has a citrusy and earthy vibe, but not in the way that other beers taste citrusy. The aftertaste introduces hints of herbs and even a minty taste, which is refreshingly delicious.

Staying true to its name, the Flower Power IPA has floral undertone in both its smell and taste. I’m not sure which species — I don’t typically consume flowers — but it’s the perfect flavor for springtime.

The best part about Ithaca Brewing Company’s Flower Power IPA is its abundance. You can find six packs of the wonderful beer all around Syracuse, so even if you’ve been missing out until now, you can always join the party as a late bloomer

USAS to meet with chancellor Student organization to thank university for anti-sweatshop stance

By Justin Mattingly staff writer

United Students Against Sweatshops Syracuse will meet with Chancellor Kent Syverud Thursday afternoon to thank the administration for taking action against sweatshops.

The group will present Syverud with a vase to mark the one-year anniversary of the Rana Plaza building collapse, said Jose Godinez, USAS president. Rana Plaza, an eight story commercial building in a city right outside Dhaka, collapsed on April 24, 2013, killing more than 1,100 workers in garment and apparel factories.

“If you fill a vase up too much, it will overflow,” Godinez said. “We’re going to fill the vase up with rice and so already, this many lives have been lost. So do you want it to be on your shoulders for the vase to overflow?”

Construction of SU bookstore location resumes drastic change

The Common Council approved a 30-year payment in lieu of taxes agreement. It changes how much the bookstore’s developer has to pay each year.

$64,400

Despite past concerns over delays with the project, construction of the new Syracuse University bookstore has resumed and is on track to finish by June 2015, the building’s developer told the city’s industrial development agency on Wednesday.

“I think we’re all finally in good shape,” said Tom Valenti of Cameron Group LLC, the private company developing the bookstore.

The 85,000-square-foot bookstore project is being built at 601 University Ave., right next to the University Avenue Garage and not far from Marshall Square Mall. The project costs $20 million and will include a fitness center and retail space.

Valenti said construction started Dec. 17. But the ground where the bookstore is being built froze quickly and the company felt it would be best to wait until the spring, he said.

SU also had concerns with the project’s design — such as if noise and vibrations from the fitness center would affect the bookstore and other levels of the building.

In November, the agency ruled the tax deal for the project was in default because construction had not started on time. But Cameron Group resolved the issue a few weeks later after it broke ground on the bookstore.

The industrial development agency is a public benefit corporation that’s designed to help with economic development in the city through incentives such as property tax exemptions. The agency’s Wednesday meeting was held downtown at Syracuse City Hall, which is about five minutes from SU. The Common Council approved a 30-year payment in lieu of taxes agreement, or PILOT, for the bookstore in July 2012 by a 5-4 vote. The tax deal will allow the developer to pay the city $64,400 per year instead of $379,000 if the building was fully taxed. That will save the developer more than $9 million during the 30-year period compared to if the see bookstore page 10

letter to the editor

NYPIRG to host anti-fracking event for Earth Day this Sunday Earth Day is a call-to-action to promote sustainable practices and work to eliminate ones that exploit what scarce resources are available to us. One of the goals of the New York Public Interest Research Group is to raise awareness about an issue that not only spurns sustainability, but also poses a real danger to us all: fracking.

Fracking is the process of drilling deep into the ground vertically and then horizontally to extract natural gas deposits. Millions of gallons of water, sand and up to 600 toxic and potentially carcinogenic chemicals are then injected into the ground.

We have seen the terrible damage that fracking has inflicted on people’s health, drinking water, financial well-being and quality of life in states across the country.

Right now is a momentous time to speak out and prevent this dangerous form of natural gas drilling from becoming legal in New York.

Since 2008, there has been a de-facto moratorium on fracking in New York. However, Gov. Andrew Cuomo has stated that he will be reevaluating the moratorium in 2015 and will base his decision on whether to allow fracking in the state on what Health Commissioner Nirav Shah concludes are the potential effects on people’s health and well-being. But Shah will be leaving New York in June and we do not know if this timeline will be impacted.

Students and community members who wish to become involved in efforts to ban fracking can affect change by submitting a comment on New York’s Draft State Energy

Plan. The comments can be anything from personal insights to reminders about the problems fracking has brought to bear upon communities. To aid you, NYPIRG has compiled fact sheets and a submission form that can be accessed on Facebook by searching “NYS Draft Energy Plan Comments.”

In honor of Earth Day, NYPIRG is having an exciting Earth Day Celebration this Sunday, April 27, at 12 p.m. in Thornden Park Amphitheater. Musicians such as Woodworks will perform and there will be meditation, face painting, a “mud pie” eating contest, hula hoops, finger painting and many more activities. Among those who will be speaking is State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry President Quentin Wheeler. We hope you will come out and join us in a fun afternoon of celebrating the Earth, and each other, before the start of finals.

uring the academic year, an average of 7,000 vehicles and 500 cyclists travel east and west on Euclid Avenue a day, according to the Onondaga County Department of Transportation. As participants in this jumbled mess, safety is an overarching priority for anybody who travels this short stretch of road.

Other than taking it into our own hands to create a safe atmosphere, sometimes it just seems like there’s little that can be done to shape our area, especially for those who are not permanent residents. But there are ways to enact change, and people should take those opportunities, such as public meetings.

On Monday, a graduate class in the Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs held a public meeting at Erwin First Methodist Church on Euclid Avenue. While the event was well publicized and open to the public, there was a small showing of participants compared to the enormous number of people who use Euclid Avenue for transportation.

While it may be hard to take time out of our busy schedules to participate, it is imperative that we make the time to speak out on these important issues.

This meeting was a perfect example of how community members need only provide little effort to enact change in our area. Titled “Euclid Bike Lane Community Meeting,” organizers planned this event so that all participants needed to do was attend. Participants did not need any prior knowledge and only needed to bring themselves.

Lasting for two hours, the organizers split the event into short 10-minute presentations and facilitated small group discussions, while providing handouts and other information. In this manner, the organizers put more emphasis on participants’ viewpoints, comments and questions.

Within this meeting, the organizers and participants discussed the future of the Euclid Bike Lane, which is currently operating under a “share the road” method where vehicles and cyclists have mixed use of the road. Participants and organizers alike discussed short-term

A new low

MEG CALLAGHAN

21ST CENTURY TREE HUGGER and long-term improvements, while participant input was highly encouraged.

In events such as this meeting, any member of the public can become actively involved in the community with minimal effort. The public should utilize and relish these events to promote safety, sustainability and other goals. More involvement can only create more opportunities for simple participation, as well as the shaping of the community to meet the public’s needs.

With community meetings such as this, there are other methods to become involved in the area with varying degrees of effort. Time-tested methods such as public hearings and the joining of organizations can be just as easy for the public to communicate its needs.

It’s time that we utilize these simple methods to be more involved in our community. We complain and moan about driving, cycling or walking on Euclid, but whining about the chaotic commute does little, if nothing at all, to change the situation. You don’t have to become the leader of an organization or the mayor of Syracuse to make real change. Every little bit counts.

By joining together and becoming involved in public issues, we can create change by volume. When more people voice their opinions, more power is given. We must all stand up for not only large-scale issues, but smaller scale, local issues.

In the case of the Euclid Bike Lane, this action will not only improve the neighborhood, but foster sustainability in our city. With the interconnectedness of our national and global systems, any move we make to bring sustainable changes will truly affect our world.

Advising needs changes, accountability Advising needs to improve, as it is an integral part of the college experience and many students have expressed dissatisfaction with the services.

Undergraduates for a Better Education recently released its report on advising, which showed that a majority of respondents were dissatisfied with these services. Complaints included students having advisers in unrelated fields of study and a lack of communication between advisers in different colleges.

Students should be provided an adviser according to their interests to ensure that their needs are met from the beginning. While advisers provide necessary insight for students, it’s best for a student if his or her adviser is a professional in the same field the student is interested in. In some colleges, freshman forum professors are also students’ advisers. While these professors can get to know

their students well, it doesn’t always mean they will be adequate advisers for them academically.

Faculty advisers are also often unaware of a student’s academic needs, including requirements for graduation such as credits, courses and electives. To address that, there should be more professional advisers, so faculty advisers can manage career advice and foster a relationship with students while professional advisers handle academic affairs.

Currently, many advisers lack knowledge about other curriculums.

This especially affects dual majors.

Advisers should be well-versed in schools across the entire campus, instead of just their respective schools. This would save students both confusion and time, as they would only speak with one adviser for academic concerns.

SU should also create a system of accountability for advisers.

Although the report shows that students feel they have dealt with unsatisfactory advisers in past, there is no official avenue for complaints. There should be an evaluation system adopted similar to those used for professors and teaching assistants.

Creating a system like this would allow students to voice their opinions to the administrators, who have the ability to change or remove ineffective advisers. It would also provide a way to hold advisers accountable, in the hopes they would improve.

Advising is an important aspect for college students, especially for inexperienced freshmen who are new to this campus. Students should not have to leave an adviser’s office with more questions than they came in with. By creating a system of accountability and improving communication, SU can start to fix this issue.

Paint BRAWL UT-Austin appeals decision for man to keep painting of Farrah Fawcett

illustration by natalie riess art director

By Claire Moran staff writer

C

harlie’s Angels actress Farrah Fawcett died in 2009. Now, the University of Texas at Austin is fighting with her former lover over ownership of a painting of the actress.

When Fawcett died, she left all of her artwork to UT-Austin, according to an April 15 McClatchy DC article. Fawcett studied art at the university in the 1960s. Ryan O’Neal, who had a romantic relationship with Fawcett throughout much of her life, took one of a set of identical 1980 Andy Warhol portraits from her home when she died.

O’Neal maintains that the painting belongs to him because Warhol painted one portrait for Fawcett and the other was painted for O’Neal.

The Los Angeles Superior Court ruled in

December that O’Neal could keep the painting.

Now, the university is appealing the decision.

“I can confirm that UT filed a notice of appeal and that we are still weighing our next steps. Because this involves litigation, there’s not much else I can say,” Gary Susswein, director for media relations at the university said in a text message.

Other officials at the university communications office did not respond to requests for comment. The attorneys involved in both sides of the case were also unable to comment because they were traveling.

The university’s Blanton Museum of Art has the contested portrait on display currently. Officials from the museum also declined to comment.

After one of Fawcett’s other former boyfriends told the university about the existence of the second painting and the painting was shown on

a reality show about O’Neal and his daughter, the university filed the lawsuit in an attempt to retrieve it. According to the McClatchy DC article, public records show that the university hired a private detective for $5,000 during this time, possibly to track down the painting.

The painting is also worth $12 million, according to the article.

The university has a $1.3 million limit to spend on the retrieval of the painting. By the end of March, UT had already spent $1.15 million on the case. McClatchy reported, “if it continues to pursue the appeal, the university would almost certainly have to authorize additional spending.”

At the original trial, O’Neal’s attorney built his case on witness statements from sources close to Fawcett that attempted to prove that the painting was originally painted for O’Neal.

In court, O’Neal’s attorney accused the university of being greedy since it already had one painting and was trying to attain the other one. The university argued that Fawcett had possession and paid insurance on both paintings since at least 2009. Fawcett and O’Neal were never married and broke up in 1997, 12 years before her death, which creates complications in ownership arguments, according to the McClatchy DC article.

At the trial, the jury also ruled that a small Andy Warhol painting of split hearts, that Warhol dedicated to Fawcett and O’Neal after drawing it on a napkin while they were at dinner together, belonged to both Fawcett and O’Neal equally.

The hearing is set to come before the California Court of Appeals on May 2.

hot crouse buns the bakery should open in the next two weeks, but has been facing difficulties with the city.

Once the bakery opens, Gigliotti said he is not concerned about competition from other local food businesses, because there is not a bakery in the area yet. He added that he is confident that he can also gain a strong student clientele, because there are no campus locations around to purchase a birthday cake.

About two years ago, doctors and nurses who frequented Bayberry Uniform and Shoe store located at 742 S. Crouse Ave. would tell him how they wished they could grab a snack near the three hospitals in Syracuse, said Gigliotti, who is also the owner of the uniform store.

Gigliotti’s customers grew tired of the same options from the Dunkin’ Donuts store on the same block as his store, he said. He added that he also noticed a lot of hospital visitors asking around his uniform store about local stores selling good snacks as gifts for the nurses that helped care for their family members and friends.

In addition, Gigliotti said he witnessed many businesses come through the building that will become Hot Crouse Buns. The bakery is right next to his uniform shop.

“This location just kept turning over and over, and I thought ‘There’s got to be something in here that we can put in that is going to be stable,’” he said.

Before he started the construction on the store, Gigliotti said he brought his 12-year-old daughter to show her the building, “and I said, ‘now all we need is a name.’” Almost instantly, he said his daughter suggested Hot Crouse Buns.

“I didn’t even know that she knew what hot cross buns were,” he said, laughing.

Currently inside the bakery, five refrigerated glass cases facing the front entrance are

empty. A cash register sits on a long wooden counter behind the glass cases, along with an unplugged coffeemaker and microwave. The walls in the bakery are painted a bright teal, and there is light wood floor paneling installed.

Across from the long glass cases are three large frames that contain completed Coca-Cola puzzles that, Gigliotti said, were put together by his 88-year-old father.

“It’s a tribute to him,” he said, “and this way he can be a part of it.”

Gigliotti said he hopes to open the bakery in two weeks, once the city of Syracuse permits a right of way for the store.

A right of way, Gigliotti said, is a legal document that says if there is a fire emergency, customers in the store could use the pathway between Faegan’s and Dunkin’ Donuts for evacuation. He said he has been waiting for the right of way permission from the city for six months. This stall may be due to the lack of communication between various departments in the city, Gigliotti said.

“It’s very difficult to get something through the city of Syracuse — too many chiefs,” he said.

Jerry Dellas, who owns Faegan’s and Varsity Pizza with his family, said he believes Hot Crouse Buns will be successful, and will fit in perfectly with the unique quality of the other local and diverse food businesses on Marshall Street and South Crouse Avenue.

The Hot Crouse Buns’ building has been owned by the Dellas family for more than 80 years, said Gigliotti. Only houses used to be near Marshall Street, until Dellas’ grandfather bought one of them, which later became Varsity Pizza.

“Before 2001, everything was run down,” Dellas said. After the city improved the streets, businesses began to thrive and more students frequented the restaurants and stores, he said, and then more national restaurants began to occupy Marshall Street as well.

Hot Crouse Buns is hoping to open in the coming weeks. The bakery near Marshall Street will sell various items from other local bakeries. margaret lin photo editor

More foreign restaurants also started coming to Marshall Street as more foreign students attended SU, Dellas said. Gigliotti said he will keep these students in mind when working with outside businesses. For example, he said gluten-free options will be available.

“My thought was, ‘We have such a diverse culture up here. Some people are going to want something specific maybe to their culture or gluten-free specialty options,’” he said.

Dellas echoed this sentiment: “I think we have a little bit of everything here, and that’s what makes us so unique.”

Gigliotti said it seems that the independent

businesses tend to thrive more than fail on Marshall Street.

“I think the people of Syracuse are really loyal to the local businesses,” he said.

Gigliotti said he is excited just to see how successful his business will be after he has dreamed and planned out the bakery for so long.

Taylor, manager of Hot Crouse Buns, said she cannot wait to begin the business, as well.

Said Taylor: “I think it’s going to be a total success. For what this poor man has gone through in trying to get this thing open, it has nowhere to go but up.” almerod@syr.edu

mccullough his career could be.”

••• Danielle McCoy, who will graduate from Syracuse in May, couldn’t believe the news.

Her friend who works for SU Athletics told her that McCullough, her cousin, was kicked out of Brewster.

“I’m like, ‘Wow,’” McCoy said, drawing out the last word. “It was just as much of a shock to us as it was to everyone else.”

This wasn’t the same kid she grew up 20 seconds from. The kid she drove to City Island with on a whim, just to get some seafood. The kid who cared so deeply for his three sisters and generally stayed out of trouble in a neighborhood McCoy said is laden with crime.

“We know a lot of people that have been murdered or are in jail,” McCoy said. “He’s definitely had friends that have gone down the wrong path.”

McCullough doesn’t let too many details of his life out. He keeps them close, in a tight circle of friends and family he trusts.

When asked why he was kicked out of Brewster, McCullough simply shook his head.

“I had some trouble off the court. Did something off the court, something I wasn’t supposed to do.

“I don’t put that out.”

When the news first broke, McCullough tweeted that he was accountable for his actions.

Since that point, he’s tried to make the expulsion disappear.

“You always hope kids will make positive choices,” Smith said, “but at the same time kids do make poor choices.

“It’s about helping them grow and making them accountable.”

While McCullough has fond memories of Brewster, it too is simply a part of his past. And while he loved seeing his old teammates and felt like he was at home, he knew he was not.

He was with a new team in IMG, and it was time to start over once again.

“He has a very positive outlook on life,” McCoy said. “He understands that not everything goes your way. Because he’s so focused, it allows him to adapt to different changes that happen.

“He is able to take that and transfer it into something great.”

••• When IMG head coach John Mahoney started coaching McCullough, he sensed that McCullough was hesitant to open up. He knew that would come with time, but at first it wasn’t easy.

“Chris was quiet when we first met him,”

Mahoney said. “When kids move around a little bit, they kind of get protective.”

So when Mahoney first met McCullough — the 6-foot-9 rangy, fleet-footed prospect everyone was drooling over — he looked him in the eye and delivered a simple message.

“I don’t want anything from you,” Mahoney said. “I just want you to know that.”

Many people were trying to “be boys” with him along with way, Mahoney said, but he ensured McCullough there was none of that at IMG. He didn’t want money or a job down the road from McCullough.

“I think once he understood that, he kind of respected that,” Mahoney said. “We got a little bit closer and he’s been a little bit more comfortable since then.”

When McCullough first arrived at IMG — though he was the team’s most talented player — he didn’t start right away. IMG already had good chemistry, and Mahoney didn’t want McCullough to mess up the team’s mojo.

In his first game, he came off the bench and scored 12 points and grabbed nine rebounds.

The next game he dropped 20.

Yet even as his numbers swelled, he still came off the bench.

“Before I went there, my coach told me everything had to be earned,” McCullough said. “I told him I’d earn my spot there. I wasn’t even worried about it.”

And eventually, he did. McCullough started his first game against Elev8 two months into the season.

McCullough’s teammate Eric Cooper Jr., who will play for Nevada next year, said it was just a matter of learning the plays. Once he had that squared away, it was showtime.

“We’d run a few plays for him where we’d just give him the ball and get out of the way,” Cooper said. “He’d dunk on somebody, or something like that.”

Mahoney said McCullough missed one practice throughout the year. He reprimanded him just like he would any other player, and that was that. Otherwise McCullough was a pleasure to coach, and the character issues people talked about never surfaced.

As he spent more time at IMG, McCullough rediscovered his element, both on the court and off. The 75-degree weather didn’t hurt.

His five-room, four-person condo wasn’t too shabby either. He gradually earned the trust of his teammates and they earned his.

The emotion McCullough so often bottles up slowly started to show.

But the best was yet to come.

IMG had yet to play Brewster.

••• There was something different about McCullough on Dec. 14.

It wasn’t just another game. Though he said he has nothing but positive regard for Brewster, he wanted to put on a show in front of his friends and family.

“He absolutely came out with a different mind-set,” Cooper said. “A little home cooking.”

IMG lost that game — the championship of the Brewster Invitational — 96-86 in overtime, but McCullough dropped 26 points.

That was when he became fully comfortable as IMG’s No. 1 option.

“After we went to Brewster, it started from that game,” McCullough said. “From then on.”

While McCullough met his old teammates in the locker room, he also showed his IMG teammates his old stomping grounds — the campus, his dorm, “where the parties happen.”

McCullough said it was strange going back and playing in front of those same fans and friends who used to watch him all the time. They were cheering for him, which was comforting, but the occasion was certainly bittersweet.

Nostalgia mixed with the acceptance of moving on.

“I miss being there,” McCullough said, “but I think IMG’s a better place for me.”

••• McCullough’s parents never visited him at IMG. The completely different lifestyle he grew to love only lasted close to five months.

Now it’s onward to Syracuse. Another change in scenery.

With Jerami Grant and C.J. Fair gone, McCullough will be expected to contribute in the frontcourt right away.

That’s something his future point guard Kaleb Joseph believes McCullough is fully capable of doing. Joseph said McCullough’s game is somewhat of a mixture of the two play-

ers he’s replacing.

Fair’s silky mid-range touch and Grant’s innate athleticism.

“He is long as f*ck,” Joseph said.

That length is perfect for Jim Boeheim’s 2-3 zone. In fact, McCullough’s skill set is reminiscent of that of Hakim Warrick, whose signature block against Kansas led to the program’s only national championship and is etched in Syracuse folklore.

Though he’ll need to work to perfect the intricacies of the 2-3, McCullough does have experience wreaking havoc in a unique zone.

At IMG he played atop a 1-3-1, motoring around the perimeter and flailing his arms to force steals. Cooper said other teams simply didn’t know what to do. They were so flustered and terrified by the behemoth running their direction that turnovers were inevitable.

“If there was ever anyone designed to play for Jim Boeheim and the Syracuse zone, it’s this kid,” Smith said.

Smith expects McCullough to r eturn for the Brewster alumni game in the future, and said that he is well liked both in the community and by his teammates.

Getting expelled didn’t change that.

For now, though, McCullough’s focused on Syracuse, the next place he has to settle into.

He’s schlepped from the Bronx to Connecticut to New Hampshire to Florida. And now it’s time to move one more time — to the school he’s dreamed of playing for since he was a kid.

Bouncing around is all McCullough has known, so one more stop is nothing he can’t handle.

“You’re not really supposed to do that,” McCullough said with a slight smile, “but you’ve got to do what you’ve got to do.

“You move on from the past.” tbhass@syr.edu | @TrevorHass

Failure to sign the accord by June 30 will result in the termination of the company’s license agreement with SU, according to the letter sent to the licensees. The policy will commence on July 1. SU is one of only 16 universities nationally requiring its licensees to sign the accord, Quinn said.

gained momentum and more than 150 brands having signed the accord. But VF Corporation, which is the parent company of brands that manufacture SU apparel, has not signed, Godinez said. He wants that to change.

“Brands like VF should be expected to do the same as the other brands and sign the accord, especially if they are making SU apparel,” he said. “While the collapse is a terrible tragedy, it has given us the opportunity to say ‘no more’ and ‘this is enough,’” Godinez said.

While Godinez said USAS Syracuse is happy with the university’s efforts so far, the group also wants to make sure the efforts continue.

“We can’t just say ‘We’ve made this require-

ment, that’s where it ends,’” he said. “This is a continuing issue and SU should stay at the forefront of it, as it has thus far. Staying at the forefront means not allowing companies like VF to get away with cutting and running, which they have done so far.”

Cutting and running is a term used to describe when a brand cuts its apparel from one factory and finds a cheaper factory, Godinez said. Cutting and running usually happens when workers are unionizing or standing up for their rights.

USAS was founded in 1997 with affiliates at more than 150 colleges and universities, according to the organization’s website. The SU

chapter of the organization was created about a year ago, Godinez said.

Godinez said the three issues that are most prevalent in sweatshops are the treatment of the workers, the safety in the factories and the rights of the workers in the factories.

USAS Syracuse has big goals for the future, including solving those issues, and wants to work side-by-side with SU to accomplish what needs to be done, Godinez said.

Said Godinez: “We’re going to have a flower there as the hope that, as an institution, we can keep the vase at where it is and no more lives have to be lost.”

ate “whether he believes drug addiction played a substantial part in criminal activity.”

Kelly said the treatment court program was started in recent years to allow courts, not just the district attorney, to determine if treatment or prison is the better option. It allows individuals to address treatment issues in situ-

ations where drug addiction may contribute to criminal activity, he said.

The Syracuse University Department of Public Safety arrested Miller and Christopher “Shinobi” Dugger on Feb. 15 after a foot chase outside Hall of Languages. They were found with laptops that belonged to SU worth about $1,000.

Police also said Miller was in possession of cocaine.

Miller was arraigned for a felony thirddegree burglary charge related to the alleged Hall of Languages burglary on Wednesday, but an additional third-degree burglary charge is pending. Miller is accused of stealing $7,642 worth of electronics from the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications.

Fahey set Miller’s bail at $10,000 cash or bond. He is currently being held in the Onondaga County Justice Center.

Second alleged burglar pleads not guilty, due back in court April 30

A Syracuse man arrested outside Hall of Languages in February pleaded not guilty to a burglary charge in Onondaga County Court on Wednesday morning.

Christopher “Shinobi” Dugger was arraigned only for the felony third-degree burglary charge on Wednesday. A criminal trespass charge against Dugger is pending in city court as well.

The Syracuse University Department of Public Safety arrested Dugger and Duncan “Wonderboy” Miller on Feb. 15 after a foot chase outside Hall of Languages. They were found with laptops that belonged to SU worth about $1,000.

Dugger entered the courtroom in custody with his hands bound and a chain wrapped around his waist over tan prison garments.

He wore glasses and stood during the arraignment, mostly quiet and motionless.

County Court Judge Joseph Fahey set a pretrial hearing for April 30. Fran Walter, who represented Dugger on Wednesday morning, said he couldn’t speak on the status of the additional charges as he only represents Dugger on the burglary charge.

He did say, however, that an offer of two-tofour years in prison to resolve all the charges has been discussed previously.

Fahey set Dugger’s bail at $25,000 cash or bond, citing a prior felony. Dugger is currently being held in the Onondaga County Justice Center. jspramuk@syr.edu

bookstore property was fully assessed.

The tax deal was controversial because a private company, not SU, would develop the project. The developer was also requesting tax breaks for a project on the Hill — not in a financially “stressed” area of the city. The vote came about a month after Destiny USA’s developer announced it would not expand the mall anymore, but would keep millions in tax breaks.

SU owns the property where the bookstore is being built and is usually exempt from paying property taxes. But Cameron Group — a private company subject to property taxes — is developing the bookstore. The university will lease parts of the building back from the company once the bookstore is built. dmsegelb@syr.edu | @dylan_segelbaum

nthony Herbert shows a different side of himself to each person he meets. He’s not trying to be annoying or fake; he just has a lot to offer.

“Let me say this — if he could walk during the middle of a class change, there’s 10–15 minutes in between each class period, right?

— it would take him 20 minutes to walk from Schine to Life Sciences, ‘cause he would stop and talk with everybody,” said Kunal Sharma, a sophomore system administration and security major and Herbert’s friend since high school.

But he’s also interested in what everyone around him has to offer, too.

“Everyone says it always seems like I know everyone, but it’s because I genuinely like meeting people,” said Herbert, a junior networking major.

Herbert spends a lot of time testing routers in the School of Information Studies — his most recent test involved trying to “blow up” a router with up to 13 devices at a time — but he has still managed to connect with nearly every corner of Syracuse University’s campus.

He is an inaugural Syracuse 8 Scholar, which honors members of the 1970 SU football team who fought for equal representation of players and coaches alike. He works in SU’s Office of Multicultural Affairs, helping to raise awareness for their many scholarship programs. Next year, he hopes to be a part of SU’s track team — his best event being the 200-meter dash. He also holds a job in the iSchool, trying out technology products that companies send to SU for testing.

With all his commitments, it’s easy to understand why Sharma described Herbert’s schedule as “crazy to watch.”

But even though he may be spread thin at times, Herbert is still outwardly and inwardly humble. His family and his upbringing back home in Queens, N.Y., is what made it possible for him to come to Syracuse, he said.

His biggest influence is his grandmother, who Herbert said, “didn’t have much to work with at all,” but was still able to raise nine children. Her hardship is what fuels his drive, he said, adding that though schoolwork gets hard, it’s nothing compared to what she went through.

When Addie Parsons, one of Herbert’s close friends since freshman year, thinks about their friendship, there are a lot of moments that come to mind, but especially one that happened during

a particularly dark time in her sophomore year.

At the end of the semester, Parsons had an organic chemistry final on her 19th birthday and had spent the night before studying.

“I bombed it. I was very upset, and I went home and essentially slept the rest of the day,” Parsons said in an email.

But Herbert called Parsons and told her to

“He really lifted my spirits and made me feel special on a difficult day,” Parsons said. For

Sharma, Herbert was one of the reasons he came to SU. For Herbert, knowing Sharma, the only other person from his high school to come to SU, was a reminder of home.

“He’s the only person from my high school that goes here,” Herbert said, referring to Sharma. “People from my high school don’t really leave the city — some people go to SUNYs, but other than that, they don’t really go to private schools, they don’t really come here.”

Herbert said he gives everything at SU his all, trying to use his opportunities to pay it forward for those that may not have been awarded the same.

Next year, he’ll serve as the co-chair for the Coming Back Together event, where alumni who were members of the 1970 SU football team travel to campus to celebrate the history of the Syracuse 8 Scholarship and welcome its new recipients.

Herbert earned co-chair position because he volunteered to welcome new recipients his sophomore year. He just wanted to meet new people, but realizes it might be something bigger than that.

“I’d rather know something I’ve done, or do, helps someone in some way,” Herbert said. “And it might be something you do anyway, but it still helps them out. So those are the things that make me happy.” apalme05@syr.edu

ames Duah-Agyeman’s office is tucked back in the Syracuse University Office of Multicultural Affairs, a few turns down a hallway from the office’s main entrance and reception desk. Working from that location sometimes leaves him farther away from the bustle of Schine Student Center than he’d like.

Attempting to stay near student traffic, he likes to take his lunch to OMA’s lobby or the ground floor of Schine, where he banters with students about grades and campus life. For the director of SU’s Office of Multicultural Affairs, work revolves around maintaining personal relationships with the students he helps.

“It’s about student academic success, it’s about students’ personal achievement. It’s about students, students, students,” Duah-Agyeman said.

Since becoming director of OMA in 2001, Duah-Agyeman, or “Dr. D,” as many call him, has expanded a program he calls a “home away from home” for SU students who self-identify as students of color. As a leader who helps them deal with issues of diversity and inclusion on campus, DuahAgyeman has shown genuine concern and accessibility that have helped move OMA forward and make college life easier for a variety of students.

“The time and passion and care that he provides makes a huge difference,” said Rebecca Reed Kantrowitz, SU’s interim senior vice president and dean of student affairs.

When Duah-Agyeman became OMA’s director in 2001, one staff member worked with him.

Staff shared one phone that they would pass around when someone else needed to talk.

Now, OMA employs about eight people and supports a variety of programs.

The office has expanded its outreach and services through programs like WellsLink, a two-semester leadership program for students from traditionally underrepresented racial groups, the Conversations about Race and Ethnicity dialogue program and “Healing the Scars,” a forum held on diversity in 2013, among many others.

“

The time and passion and care that he provides makes a huge difference.

He has also used his personal touch to connect diverse pockets of the SU community and help students become successful despite racial boundaries.

Duah-Agyeman, an Ashanti Ghanaian, faced systemic racial expectations when he came to SU to pursue a doctorate in mathematics education in 1982. He remembers a conversation in the U.S. where he identified himself

Director creates home for students of color

as black, rather than Ashanti, holding back a prominent piece of his identity.

He has drawn on the experience of American society expecting him to cast himself in a particular light to encourage students to promote their own identity.

“I’ve always talked about being able to represent who you are and not letting the system force you to do something else,” DuahAgyeman said.

Aysha Seedat, a sophomore policy studies major, participated in the WellsLink program her freshman year and currently works as an intern at OMA. Seedat, who was born in Manhattan and was “raised eating cheeseburgers,” self-identifies as Asian or Pakistani.

When an SU Career Services employee revising her resume told her to include that she was a United States citizen because an employer may look at her and think she lives in the U.S. illegally, Seedat was taken aback. She sought out Duah-Agyeman for guidance.

Duah-Agyeman dropped what he was doing and walked with her back to Career Services, where they decided not to include that Seedat is a citizen.

“He knows that students are having problems, he knows they’re freaking out,” Seedat said. “And he will make time for you that day.”

She added that Duah-Agyeman’s demeanor, along with a booming laugh that carries throughout the office, can provide a calming, fatherly reassurance students need at their lowest moments.

Kantrowitz said students are comfortable

with going to OMA and Duah-Agyeman when they have issues at SU. She remembers a summer about three years ago when her office in Steele Hall became unusable due to repairs and she worked in the OMA space for weeks.

She marveled at the number of students who, in the middle of the summer, “plopped themselves down” in OMA to share stories and concerns.

“He is someone who cares deeply about students,” Kantrowtiz said.

Duah-Agyeman said that SU students have faced new obstacles as diversity increased under former Chancellor Nancy Cantor.

Increasing diversity “transported issues of color into a small world,” he said.

But he sees it as a new opportunity to increase “integration, acceptance and appreciation.” Students talk about incidental segregation, he said, and Duah-Agyeman continues to encourage students to bridge gaps between their groups.

Duah-Agyeman wants to help students succeed at SU. And gestures, even one as small as welcoming a student into OMA as he eats his lunch, can help move the university forward.

“I’m hoping right now people realize that the world means well, but it’s going to take all of us together to make this place the respectable, acceptable and most appreciative place,” DuahAgyeman said. “An inclusive place, a place that accepts diversity in all its forms for all of us to really celebrate who we are and where we go — Syracuse University.” jspramuk@syr.edu

Despite life’s unpredictability, change rarely occurs in Syracuse

A

s the school year comes to a close, we must all be stoic as we leave behind our memories of 2013–14 and look forward to the future.

As a senior, looking forward means looking to a frighteningly Syracuse-less future, but this is not the case for most of you readers. And I happen to have a few ideas of what you younger students can, and should, look forward to. Mere guesses, really.

Life is unpredictable. Things are changing all of the time, and perhaps it is outrageous — foolish, even — for me to try and guess what’s going to happen. Especially here in Syracuse — a city that is positively budding with exciting changes all the time!

Yet there are a few instances where certain patterns can be indicative of the future . So, without further ado, I give you my predictions for the 2014–15 scholastic year: Prediction number one: Student Association will make a lot of speeches about how much they are changing within their own administration.

Photos will surface that show the members of SA in meetings of some sort, appearing to do work. But trust me when I say you will never see a concrete product of this work, and your student life will continue 100 percent unaffected by the accomplishments or failures of SA. I may not know much, but I know this for sure.

My second prediction is that the Syracuse men’s basketball team will get a few great recruits, do really, really well during the regular season and then lose shamefully in the Big Dance. I don’t know what it is that makes me think this — it’s almost like I’ve seen it happen before. Maybe in a dream.

CHELSEA DEBAISE LET’S GET WEIRD

Also, it will never, ever win a game comfortably.

It never made me breathe easily while I was an undergrad, and I’ll be damned if they stop causing heart attacks amongst the student body the year after I leave. I imagine that Syracuse Football will play aggressively mediocre ball and then we will all be relieved when we hear they are bowl-eligible. Spoiler alert! It’s going to be the Pinstripe Bowl.

I’d love to make a prediction about the new chancellor, but I’ve gotta say, he’s a wily one. I totally thought his “dear diary” emails were going to stop after a few weeks this semester, but he has persisted valiantly. He’s either criminally insane and we’re all going to look back on his tenure here thinking he’s the real deal.

Only time will tell.

I’d be nervous about making such bold predictions but if the last few years are any indicator, I fully predict to be batting 1.000 by the time May 2015 rolls around. Life can be a scary, unpredictable thing and so can college.

That’s why it’s comforting to know that some things really never change.

Dancing competition celebrates city’s ties to Irish culture

By Michelle Polizzi staff writer

F

rom the city’s celebrated citywide Irish Festival, to the time Irish youths first made their mark on a now upside-down traffic light in Tipperary Hill, Syracuse’s deep Irish roots make it the perfect location for the annual Central New York Feis.

Entering its 23rd year, the Irish dancing competition will be held this Saturday in the Horticulture building at the New York State Fairgrounds.

Beginning at 8:30 a.m., competitors from across

the U.S. and Canada will compete on eight different stages for individual and team awards.

Feis committee chair Megan Hickey Miller began her involvement in the festival as a competitor. Her father worked closely with a group of people who were passionate about Irish dancing in order to establish a festival in Central New York. The festival is named after Bob Gabor, one of the original founders who helped spread the popularity of Irish dancing within the area as well as around the country.

“A group of parents, including my father, wanted to provide the opportunity for dancers in the Central New York area to be able to compete at more local events because there was only one other Feis in the area at that time,” Miller said.

That same group of parents can be proud of the event’s success — now one of the largest in the area. The competition now hosts 1,200 dancers, 20 judges and 12 musicians.

“People come from all over the Northeast and Canada and we have had dancers travel from as far as California to compete. Because we are a larger competition, it is competitive group of dancers,” Miller said.

Feis, pronounced “fresh” in Gaelic, is the modern common term for Irish dancing competitions.

A traditional Feis festival includes dancing alongside art displays, Gaelic food and Irish football. In

addition to Irish dancing, theatrical performances and bagpipe presentations serve as a method to tell stories and legends to a large audience.

Now, the tradition carries on, celebrating the dedication and talent of Irish dancers at the heart of the Syracuse event.

The Central New York Feis will also include art, music and soda bread competitions, as well as a variety of local vendors selling Irish dancing apparel, crafts and cultural items.

In addition to the honor of placing in the top three spots, winners will receive handmade pottery items made by Kate Kavanagh of Kate’s Functional Pottery. Kavanagh’s business is centered in Rehoboth, Massachusetts, and she often inscribes her bowls and mugs with traditional Celtic trinity knots.

The expansion of the Central New York Feis over the past 23 years has marked an increase in the quality of the event — something that everyone with a little Irish blood in their veins can be proud of.

“The caliber of dancing at this event is really amazing to watch,” Miller said. “We have dancers who recently returned from London, where they competed in the World Championships for Irish dancing, and it is a chance to view this right here in Syracuse.” mkpolizz@syr.edu

Spring artist showcase to spotlight student songwriters

By Bodeline Dautruche staff writer

Listening to the same Top 40 hits on the radio every single day can be boring, but students have a chance to update their playlists with some of Syracuse University’s most talented student artists on Thursday night.

SU Recordings and WERW College Radio will give some of Syracuse’s greatest musicians a chance to shine at their annual spring artist showcase at Jabberwocky Café.

Doors for the SU Recordings and WERW Spring Artists Showcase will open at 7:30 p.m., with the show starting at 8 p.m.

“There will be a lot of diverse acts. Here at Syracuse, we do not put enough emphasis on the talent within the student body. The showcase will help expose students to these singer-songwriters,” said Ian Teti, senior public relations major and the general manager of WERW. Teti said the showcase will allow students to engage in something different compared to other SU activities around campus.

The showcase will include music from SU’s own Pensive & Naomi Flores, Julia Wolfe, Max Puglisi, The Miles Kept and Austin Holmes,

I do not want to speak for everyone, but here at WERW, we strive to always do something different.

We usually promote local music and alternative artists, so working with SU Recordings was like a match made in heaven.

Ian Teti senior public relations major and werw general manager

Julia Wolfe, a junior music industry major, is one singer-songwriter performing during the showcase. Her music has been compared to Sara Bareilles quite often from those who have had a chance to listen to her work.

She cites Lily Allen as one of her major musical influences because of her sassiness, and loves the style and poetry of British singer Sting.

“I would say my music is diverse, sassy and meaningful,” Wolfe said.

Naomi Flores, performing alongside Pensive, describes their music as, “more of hiphop meets jazz meets alternative.” A junior industrial and interactive design major, Flores looks to an array of artists as an influence, from Ella Fitzgerald to Kate Nash and Joss Stone. She describes the music she creates as alternative hip-hop.

The different sounds attributed to these two performers attest to how diverse the overall showcase will be.

“I do not want to speak for everyone, but here at WERW, we strive to always do something different,” Teti said. “We usually promote local music and alternative artists, so working with SU Recordings was like a match made in heaven.”

WERW is the sole student-run independent radio station at Syracuse University. The radio station is streamed over the Internet with a variety of shows. SU Recordings is also student-run. The record label signs students and helps develop them as artists.

“For my friends to be able to put on shows such as this has helped me network and gave me a space to perform,” Flores said.

Although the showcase is only in the Jabberwocky Café, the station hopes their performance can resonate like a real concert due to their professionalism.

“My favorite thing is that all the artists performing have unique styles, so it will be

an interesting mix of talent,” Wolfe said. “We represent a lot of different genres.”

banding together WERW and SU Recordings teamed up to showcase student musical artists on Thursday in the Jabberwocky Cafe. Here’s a look at the lineup of performers, whose musical styles vary from pop-punk influenced indie rock (The Miles Kept) to the hiphop and jazz-inspired Pensive & Naomi Flores.

1. Pensive & Naomi Flores 2. Julia Wolfe 3. Max Puglisi 4. The Miles Kept 5. Austin Holmes Teti explained that not only will the concert be a cool way for friends to hang out, but it will also be very intimate and something different from the music shows normally hosted at Syracuse, like Juice Jam and the upcoming Block Party concert in the Carrier Dome on Saturday.

“Not only is it good to support your fellow students, but people will get to hear some really good music,” Flores said. “It’s also great for me because I get to meet other artists and network as well.” bkdautru@syr.edu

Mullins stymies top attacks with help of midfielder Salcido

By Jesse Dougherty asst. sports editor

Brandon Mullins quipped about guarding the small, fast guy every game, then laughed while rattling off the ones he’s faced.

Duke’s Jordan Wolf. Notre Dame’s Matt Kavanagh. North Carolina’s Joey Sankey. Cornell’s Dan Lintner.

But when asked how he’s had so much success against some of the Atlantic Coast Conference’s premier scorers, Mullins’ smile grew bigger as he revealed Syracuse’s ace in the hole.

“Sergio (Salcido) pushes me so hard in practice,” Mullins said. “He always wears the number of the guy I am going to guard and plays just like them. With how fast he is, it feels no different when I get out there.”

According to freshman attack Dylan Maltz, the team has started to take notice of the Salcido-Mullins matchup when the scout team faces the starting defense in practice.

Salcido — a redshirt freshman midfielder that has played as a faceoff wing this season — isn’t a natural attack, but his quickness mirrors the players Mullins squares off with each game.

No. 4 Syracuse (9-3, 2-3 ACC) has won five straight games since losing to Duke, 21-7, on March 23, and Mullins — who was one of 18 players named to the All-ACC team Wednesday — has helped key the run. The SU defense hasn’t yielded more than 10 goals in a game since that loss to the Blue Devils.

The Orange will look to continue its best stretch of the season against the No. 2 Blue Devils (12-2, 4-1) in the semifinals of the ACC tournament on Friday in Chester, Pa., and Mullins will be tasked with defending Wolf for the second time this season.

Wolf was also named to the All-ACC team, his fourth selection in as many seasons, and collected five goals and three assists the last time the Orange and Blue Devils met. He’s one of the few attacks to get the best of Mullins this year, only heightening Salcido’s role this week.

“I’ve looked into (Wolf’s) game a lot and will continue to leading up to the game,” Salcido said. “It’s really beneficial for everyone. I get better playing against a defender as good as Mullins, and I do my best to get him ready.”

After watching hours of film on SU’s upcoming opponent, assistant coach Lelan Rogers meticulously constructs the scout team. Rogers said it can be tough to find players to match the style and size of opponents, but some matches click.

BRANDON MULLINS has locked down opposing teams’ top offensive threats recently. Thanks to the preparation methods of SU midfielder Sergio Salcido on the scout team, Mullins has been well prepared for each matchup. spencer bodian staff photographer

Six-foot-7, 252-pound freshman Matt Lane will play the part of Duke sophomore midfielder Myles Jones — who stands 6 feet, 4 inches and notched five goals against SU in March. And the 5-foot-7 Salcido will once

It’s really beneficial for everyone. I get better playing against a defender as good as Mullins, and I do my best to get him ready.

Sergio Salcido su midfielder

again mimic the 5-foot-9 Wolf while Mullins gives chase.

“He’s a good fit to get (Mullins) used to play-

ing that kind of guy,” Rogers said. “We tell the guys on the scout team that they are, in a way, the most important part of the team because of preparation.

“Brandon is slowly becoming a really, really good defender, and those looks in practice are showing.”

If Salcido didn’t take pride in preparing Mullins, the results wouldn’t be as tangible.

On top of the film that he watches with assistant coach Kevin Donahue to break down his play at the faceoff wings, Salcido also studies up on the tendencies of the players he’ll be embodying on the scout team — from playing lefty for an entire week to mirror Wolf or staying low to the ground on his dodges from behind the cage like Kavanagh.

It’s all helped Mullins learn how to combine his high IQ and natural physicality to stymie smaller, quicker attacks.

“He’ll run up to me like, ‘Hey, today I’m Joey Sankey,’ or whoever,” Mullins said. “It’s him

challenging me to step it up. He plays a lot like them; it doesn’t even surprise me anymore.”

In the Orange’s season-reviving win streak since falling in Durham, N.C., Mullins has been the defensive stopper for a unit getting better every game.

The sophomore held Kavanagh scoreless — after Kavanagh scored seven goals against Ohio State early that week — in a win over then-No. 7 Notre Dame on March 29. Then, he held Sankey to just one goal when the Orange beat then-No. 4 North Carolina on April 12 to solidify its spot in the conference tournament.

“Looks like Sergio’s doing his job,” Maltz said.

By Friday, Mullins will have had one week to guard Salcido’s rendition of Wolf before getting another shot at Wolf himself.

“It’s definitely easier to pretend to be a guy than stop a guy,” Salcido said. “But I’m always confident in Brandon.” jcdoug01@syr.edu | @dougherty_jesse

Syracuse attack Rice, defender Mullins named to All-ACC team Syracuse junior attack Kevin Rice and redshirt sophomore defender Brandon Mullins were named to the All-Atlantic Coast Conference team Wednesday.

Rice leads Syracuse with 54 points and 28 assists, and his 26 goals are second on the Orange. Rice has been named ACC Offensive Player of the Week three times and has scored six points in five games this season.

Brandon Mullins has started every game this season after missing the majority of the 2013 campaign due to injury. He leads the team with 12 caused turnovers and has picked up 24 ground balls.

The All-ACC team consists of 18 players

picked by the league’s six coaches, who were not allowed to vote for their own players. Maryland had the most All-ACC selection with five, Duke had four, North Carolina four, Syracuse and Notre Dame two and Virginia one.

No. 4 Syracuse’s next game is against No. 2 Duke in the semifinals of the ACC tournament on Friday at 5 p.m. in Chester, Pa.

Treanor, Murray highlight quartet of All-ACC honorees Syracuse sophomore attack Kayla Treanor and senior attack Alyssa Murray were named to the All-Atlantic Coast Conference first team Wednesday, while senior midfielder Katie Web-

ster and senior defender Kasey Mock were named to the second team.

Treanor leads Syracuse with 85 points and 58 goals, and her 27 assists are second on the team. She ranks second in the country in points and third in goals, and leads the ACC in both points and goals.

Murray is second on the team with 70 points and 40 goals, and her 30 assists lead the Orange. She has scored five or more points in nine games this season.

Webster ranks third on the Orange with 35 points and 27 goals, and her eight assists rank fifth on the team. Mock leads the Orange with 21 caused turnovers and is second with

24 groundballs.

The All-ACC team consists of 26 players picked by the league’s eight coaches. Maryland, the No. 1 seed for the upcoming ACC tournament, has four members on the first team and five overall. North Carolina also has five total selections, while Syracuse and Duke each have four.

No. 2 seed Syracuse’s next game is against seventh-seeded Notre Dame in the quarterfinals of the ACC tournament on Thursday at 3 p.m. in Chestnut Hill, Mass.

SU looks to continue offensive hot streak against Canisius

By Paul Schwedelson staff writer

In a game that seemed to be highlighted by backto-back home runs in the first inning, it wasn’t until the fifth against Niagara that Syracuse’s offense offered a glimpse of how dynamic it can be.

Five consecutive batters reached base for the Orange, leading to two runs on just one hit. up next It was another demonstration of SU’s offenVS Canisius sive philosophy: having @ Buffalo, N.Y. quality at-bats — a task 3:30 p.m., Thursday that every batter can meet regardless of skill.

“When you come out hitting the ball, it sends a good vibe to the rest of the team,” sophomore shortstop Corinne Ozanne said, “and it gives a boost of confidence to everybody else.”

Throughout the season, the Orange (21-22, 10-11 Atlantic Coast) has had to battle through a challenging ACC schedule and make up for a young pitching staff. As a result, the offense has had a chance to rise to the occasion.

And for the most part, it has. SU’s lineup will look to continue its success Thursday in a doubleheader against Canisius in Buffalo, N.Y., starting at 3:30 p.m.

The team currently boasts a .297 batting

average, .494 slugging percentage and .380 onbase percentage — a school record-setting pace in all three categories. Additionally, six batters on Syracuse are hitting better than .300, including Ozanne at .351 and Sydney O’Hara at .349.

“I think that says a lot about up and down the lineup everybody’s contributing,” SU head coach Leigh Ross said, “and I think we have to

I think that says a lot about up and down the lineup everybody’s contributing, and I think we have to understand that and rely on that sometimes.

Leigh Ross su head coach

understand that and rely on that sometimes.”

Syracuse was swept by Florida State last weekend and crossed the plate only twice in three games. Following the 5-0 win over Niagara, Ross said that she didn’t consider it a breakout game because the offense has been good all year.

SHIRLEY DANIELS follows through during Syracuse’s 5-0 win on Tuesday. The Orange’s lineup doesn’t have a hitter who ranks in the ACC’s Top 10 in a number of categories, yet SU is still on pace to set multiple program hitting records. logan reidsma staff photographer

“We have good offense, so don’t push,” Ross said. “Don’t try too hard to get everything done with one swing.”

Although the Orange is one game below .500 in conference play, it ranks fourth in batting average, third in slugging percentage and fifth in on-base percentage in the ACC. “It just helps us focus on not really having to get a hit every single time,” Watson said, “because a seven-pitch at-bat and you striking out is still as good as you getting a hit.”

Since working a deep pitch count is one of the ways to have a quality at-bat, Ross said the Orange has a drill in practice where batters try to foul off as many pitches as possible.

Although it’s an action performed by individuals, both Watson and Ozanne said that good hitting is contagious. Any time a player

contributes for Syracuse, teammates gain confidence and think they can be just as successful.

Even if a player gets out, she can help the team.

Many times this season, players have gotten out but learned something about the pitcher.

Before Ozanne and Watson hit back-to-back homers against Niagara, each player received information from teammates who already batted that they were able to use to their advantage.

Not a single member of Syracuse ranks in the top 10 of the ACC in batting average, slugging percentage, on-base percentage, runs scored, hits and RBIs. Yet as a team, the Orange may set school records this year in batting average, slugging percentage and on-base percentage.

Said Watson: “When one person’s hitting, we just domino effect and we all hit.” pmschwed@syr.edu

ACC tournament may not have the most substantial effect on SU’s NCA A tournament seeding, thus lessening the weekend’s significance.

Still, SU head coach John Desko feels there is much at stake.

“This is more for pride,” he said. “This is part of being in probably the best conference in men’s lacrosse at the Division I level.

“This is a team that’s already beat us. You prefer to play a team that’s beaten you. I think it gives us some added incentive going in.”

The Orange’s first two failed attempts at its first-ever ACC win — a five-goal loss at Virginia and an eight-goal loss at home to Maryland — weren’t pretty, but the matchup at Duke was the epitome of ugliness.

SU jumped out to an early 2-1 lead, but the first five minutes of the game couldn’t have been much more misleading.

It didn’t take long for Duke faceoff specialist Brendan Fowler to reenact last year’s NCAA title game, in which he won 16 draws in a stretch of 18 attempts to help erase an early five-goal Syracuse lead.

This time around, Fowler captured 8-of-11 faceoffs in the first quarter and gave the lethal Blue Devils attack ample possessions to bury 10

year was a heartbreaker,” senior defender Matt Harris said. “This year was probably the worst loss of my career in any single sport.”

And the same Fowler and Co. will be waiting for Syracuse on Friday.

But the Orange they will see is a much more confident group than the one they last saw.

Resurgent faceoff specialist Chris Daddio has won 58 percent during SU’s five-game winning streak after SU entered it with a 36.9 percent clip.

But the self-demanding senior would be the first to credit the rest of the team. The defense hasn’t allowed more than 10 goals in a game since the Duke loss. The offense, even with its lack of opportunities early on, has climbed into the nation’s top 10 in goals per game.

And Syracuse cleared at a 95.4 percent rate in its two wins over Cornell and North Carolina — which clinched the ACC tournament berth for SU — earlier this month.

Another showdown with Duke couldn’t come at a more opportune time for the Orange.

“We’ve been on this run lately,” Daddio said.

“Obviously, we have a bad taste in our mouth, but that just motivates us even more.”

Maybe Daddio, individually, has the most to prove on Friday as he lines up against Fowler once again.

But it’s been a complete-team turnaround to this point, and it’ll take a complete-team performance to finally beat Duke and relieve the bits of humiliation that still linger from that 21-7 loss.

Said Harris: “It’s exciting for us to get another crack at them.” pmdabbra@syr.edu | @PhilDAbb

Daley said her rehab was frustrating at times, but she made a vow to remain an enthusiastic member of the team. That’s why she fully embraced the role of cheerleader, often shouting congratulatory remarks and hopping around on the sideline after goals or big plays. As she put it, everyone on the team has a voice and a part to play.

She said the entire experience brought her closer to the entire squad, especially the reserve players whose sacrifices often go unnoticed.

“I already had respect for them, but I gained so much more,” Daley said. “Day in, day out, they are out there cheering and don’t get their shot on the field.”

Now, they can expect Daley to bring that same raw emotion into the lineup.

Gait is happy to have another layer of depth in his midfield unit, but he’s even more excited for the intangibles Daley provides, mainly her intensity and scrappy play.

“She’s going to be a huge boost to our energy, our enthusiasm,” Gait said. “She’ll really keep us fired up in this tough ACC and then playoff run.”

Daley is entering the ACC tournament with the realistic expectation that she might not play very much, especially as she tests out her recovered left foot.

Either way, she doesn’t mind. She just wants to help SU close in on an elusive championship in whatever way she can.

“If it’s still on the sideline, then so be it, because we’re ranked No. 1 and put ourselves in a great position,” Daley said. “If it’s getting some minutes, great. Wherever I can contribute, I’ll be happy.”

Sophomore distance runner Malone follows path of Pagano

By Liam Sullivan staff writer

Margo Malone has tried to utilize her older teammate, Sarah Pagano, in every possible way this season. On and off the track, Malone has learned so much simply by being with Pagano.

“I just like spending time with Sarah,” Malone said. “She’s a great racer and even better person. It’s only natural that those special qualities have started to become more noticeable in me.”

Malone has undergone a lot of develop-

ment and emerged as a top-tier distance runner, in part due to the leadership and guidance of Pagano.

This past weekend at the Atlantic Coast Conference Outdoor Championship meet, Malone finished in third place twice with two different personal records. The sophomore ran the 5,000-meter in a time of 16:18.53 and also recorded a 33:15.02 in the 10,000-meter race.

Pagano, a redshirt senior, ran her own personal best in the 10,000-meter race — 33:42:14 — for a sixth-place finish at the ACC meet. She holds the school record in the outdoor 5,000-

meter race as well, which she set by running a time of 15:48.87 at the Stanford Invitational.

Pagano’s skill and experience on the track has been a tremendous asset to the team, especially Malone.

“Sarah’s such a great example with her work ethic and her approach emotionally to the sport,” said head coach Chris Fox. “Margo is a whole different runner than she was six months ago, which is all credited to Sarah.”

The two have become close, something that has paid dividends for the Orange. Pagano and Malone have developed a bond that is evident on the track.

Malone believes the relationship has made her more comfortable and confident on the track, which in turn has translated to faster times.

“I love when we are together running the same event,” said Malone. “During the 10k this weekend, Sarah looked back to make sure I was there and just being next to her was very comforting and relaxing.

“We definitely push each other when we’re in the same race.”

The change in Malone is apparent. Fox knows that this season, SU has a more humble, confident and tough racer. Malone has shaved almost a whole minute off of her

5,000-meter time from last season and is constantly improving.

She has already set three personal bests this season and still has a few meets left to keep progressing.

While self-improvement is always the goal of every racer, Malone has taken on her role model’s attitude. She is absolutely determined to not let any obstacles get in her way.

“I often find myself thinking to myself, I can push through this,” said Malone. “I’m capable of this. I can be as strong as Sarah.”

Pagano has run tremendously this season, setting a school record and recording two personal bests.

Although the fifth-year senior is finishing up her final season for the Orange, she is more than confident that the program will be more than OK upon her departure with Malone leading the way.

“If Margo continues to race as she does, and keeps improving like she has over this past year,” said Pagano, “the distance team has found itself a real star.” lpsull01@syr.edu

ESPN NFL Draft analyst Mel Kiper Jr. discussed Syracuse’s NFL Draft hopefuls Wednesday, predicting Jay Bromley to be selected in the third or fourth round, Marquis Spruill to go in the sixth or seventh and Jerome Smith to be an undrafted free agent.

Kiper noted that this year’s group of defensive tackles is fairly shallow, which may play in Bromley’s favor. For someone who has been predicted by most to fall to the sixth or seventh round, Kiper said Bromley will likely come off the board on Day 2.

“When you look at some of the guys after the top three or four, it’s turned out to be kind of a sub-par group overall,” Kiper said on a teleconference. “I have Bromley right now at nine, which puts him in that third- or fourthround category.”

For Spruill, Kiper thinks his stock rose due to his postseason performance.

In the NFLPA Collegiate Bowl on Jan. 18, Spruill rotated between middle linebacker, the kick cover unit and the punt return unit. That versatility is something that may be the determining factor in the linebacker hearing his name called in the last two rounds.

After initially being projected by many to fall off the board entirely, Spruill seems to have snuck his way into the seventh round, or maybe even earlier. Kiper said he could

be taken there to initially serve as a backup special teamer.

“To me, the all-star game helped him,” Kiper said. “He gives you a range of productivity and as a sixth- or seventh-round pick, I think he’ll help you.”

Smith may not fare as well as his former teammates.

Kiper said the running back, who forewent his final year of collegiate eligibility to enter the draft, could fall off the board entirely.

Said Kiper: “I think Smith will be a free agent. There are too many running backs ahead of him.” mcschnei@syr.edu

Syracuse took an unsuccessful trip down to Duke and was blown out 21-7 on March 23. The Orange will have a shot at redemption for that loss and its loss in last year’s NCAA championship when the two teams square off on Friday in the ACC tournament. logan reidsma staff photographer

DUKES UP

After 21-7 loss in March, SU faces Duke in ACC tourney semifinals

By Phil D’Abbraccio asst. copy editor

P

osted on the door to the Syracuse locker room at Manley Field House this week is a sign.

It reads: “21-7” — the final score of Syracuse’s meeting with Duke on

March 23. A reminder of the most embarrassing loss in recent program memory and the point at which the Orange hit rock bottom before turning its season around.

After a three-game skid to start Atlantic Coast Conference play put Syracuse’s season in danger, the

Orange has won five straight games, including two in conference play.

Each victory has seemingly held more weight than the previous one, and that trend will hold true if the No. 4 Orange (9-3, 2-3 ACC) knocks off No. 2 Duke (12-2, 4-1) in the ACC tournament semifinals.

More so, a win would avenge both that 14-goal loss and a defeat in the 2013 national championship game. Third-seeded Syracuse takes on the No. 2 seed Blue Devils on Friday at 5 p.m. at PPL Park in Chester, Pa. Playoff hopes were bleak when SU fell behind 0-3 in conference play, but a midseason turnaround

In his final media availability of the spring, Syracuse head coach Scott Shafer explained Ryan Norton’s conspicuous absence from the Orange’s Spring Game on Saturday.

The kicker, who missed a game due to suspension during the regular season, was suspended again due to a violaNORTON tion of team rules.

“He’s done a nice job taking ownership,” Shafer said on the Atlantic Coast Conference coaches’ teleconference Wednesday. “It’s between Ryan and I.” Norton was suspended for SU’s win against Wake Forest in early November after being charged with resisting arrest and underage drinking. Punter Riley Dixon took over kicking duties for that game. Norton returned for Syracuse the following week for a win against Maryland and played the remainder of the season.

Norton began last season as Syracuse’s kickoff specialist, but took over full-time kicking duties when Ross Krautman suffered a seasonending injury in a loss to Northwestern in September.

Norton was successful on 10-of-15 field-goal tries and missed just one extra point.

With Krautman back for a fifth season, he and Norton are expected to compete for the starting kicker job, and rising senior walk-on Alex Hodgkinson kicked both of SU’s field goals in its Spring Game.

Shafer said he expects Norton to return for the start of summer camp.

“He’ll be back with us shortly,” Shafer said, “and we look forward to that.”

Healthy Daley looks to build on return in ACC tournament

By Tyler Piccotti staff writer

On Saturday against Notre Dame, senior midfielder Bridget Daley scored a goal, something she has done 34 times as a member of Syracuse.

But after missing most of this

season with a broken foot, up next Daley said she couldn’t VS Notre Dame @ Chestnut Hill, Mass. remember a more emo3 p.m. Thursday tional goal than her most recent conversion.

“The celebration afterwards … I’ll never forget that,” Daley said. “(My teammates) were so excited for me, and that made it even better.”

Able to take the field once again, Daley is ready to make the most of her final games in a Syracuse uniform. She’ll look to continue

her strong return when the No. 1 Orange (15-1, 6-1 Atlantic Coast) meets the No. 8 Fighting Irish (9-7, 2-5) for the second-straight game in the quarterfinals of the ACC tournament at 3 p.m. in Chestnut Hill, Mass.

Although the injury forced Daley

to trade in her stick for a walking boot, she didn’t lose her enthusiasm during what has been a special season for the Orange. Now, all she wants is the chance to be a factor during the stretch run, although how much she’ll contribute on the field see daley page 20
