Memory of fatal fire on University Avenue persists after 35 years

anis Kraft still has a hard time lighting candles.

If she has to, she keeps them in the sink and constantly checks on them.

It’s because of what happened 35 years ago, where the Martin J. Whitman School of Management stands today — a fatal fire in the student apartment where she lived.

“It has stuck with me my whole life,” she said.

Tuesday marks the 35th anniversary of the 701 University Ave. fire, which took the lives of four Syracuse firefighters — Stanley Duda, Michael Petragnani, Robert Schuler and Frank Pworpiglio — in an 80-year-old student apartment building near the Syracuse University campus. The fire is still remembered today by those who experienced it: SU students, journalists and firefighters.

Kraft’s apartment was on the second floor. She was one of 14 SU students who lived in the building.

The sounds of banging on doors and screaming woke her up. Someone SEE FIRE PAGE 4

When people think of Marianne Guppenberger, they remember her for her confidence. She never doubted herself.

Originally from Taiwan, Guppenberger came to Syracuse University without even visiting. Just from her research about the university, she knew she wanted to be an SU student.

“The fact that she came here without even seeing campus says a lot about her,” said Harrison Hascoe, Guppenberger’s boyfriend. “She was very confident. She knew what she wanted and took risks.”

Although she was a student in the College of Arts and Sciences, Guppenberger had plans to transfer into the Martin J. Whitman School of Management.

Guppenberger, an undeclared freshman in Arts and Sciences, died from a fall early Saturday morning.

The circumstances surrounding her death have not yet been released.

A memorial for Guppenberger will be held Wednesday at the Burns Garfield Funeral Home, located 3175 E. Genesee St. Visiting hours are 1-3 p.m. with a memorial service following at 3 p.m., said Erin Kane, associate vice president for public relations, in an email.

Those close to Guppenberger remember her for her kindness, confidence and ability to bring people together.

She was never seen without a smile, said Jason Kelly, who attended high school with Guppenberger at the Taipei American School in Taiwan.

Guppenberger would greet every student she passed in the school’s hallways, Kelly said.

“Her kindness definitely left a mark on our school,” Kelly said. “She had a very bright persona.”

He added that Guppenberger had a “budding talent” for soccer. She was very skilled, he said, and held various

Website hosts Michigan ad after dean loses bet

By Nicki Gorny ASST. NEWS EDITOR

Those still mourning the Orange’s Final Four loss to Michigan found an unpleasant surprise on the School of Information Studies’ website Monday.

The iSchool’s homepage featured an advertisement for the University of Michigan’s School of Information on the page’s rotating header.

“Michigan has a great iSchool,” the advertisement read, “and may we point out, a great basketball team.”

The advertisement was the result

of a bet between the deans of the two colleges, said Kelly Lux, online community manager and social media strategist at the iSchool. The bet dictated that whichever school lost the Final Four game on Saturday would advertise for the other school for one day, she said.

Dean Jeff Mackie-Mason of the Michigan iSchool initiated the bet by sending an email to Syracuse University iSchool Dean Elizabeth Liddy early last week, said J.D. Ross, direc-

Assembly elects recorder, Disney manager speaks on self-branding opposes housing ordinance

Looking to put a tumultuous couple of weeks fraught with internal discord behind it, the Student Association introduced several new items of business, including a resignation, election and multiple pieces of legislation at Monday’s general assembly meeting.

“Tonight was a great step in the right direction. SA demonstrated that even when faced with internal issues, we are still doing work and impacting students,” said President Allie Curtis after the meeting.

Curtis sat in the front row of Maxwell Auditorium as Vice President Duane Ford led the meeting.

The assembly stripped Curtis of her ability to preside over the semester’s remaining meetings in a special session Sunday as a part of a threepronged punishment for a decisionmaking process during the session

that has “promoted non-transparency and a lack of integrity,” according to a censure issued Sunday.

Recorder resignation and election After sending an email notifying the general assembly of her resignation as recorder last week, Belen Crisp acknowledged her decision to step down at Monday’s meeting.

Crisp, who headed the Department of Public Safety advisory board, said the organization helped foster her interest in campus safety. Serving on the cabinet detracted from Crisp’s ability to address safety issues, to which she said she’d like to return.

Despite a rocky couple of weeks for SA, which included a call for President Curtis’ resignation, the resignation of two other cabinet members and investigations into the conduct of four cabinet officials, Crisp said her decision to resign didn’t stem from discontent

“The Prince of Branding” came to Syracuse University on Monday.

Matt Prince, social media manager for the Walt Disney Co., spoke to a full Joyce Hergenhan Auditorium at the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications about personal branding and how he has created his own brand.

The presentation was sponsored by the SU chapter of the Public Relations Student Society of America.

“Personal brand is the definition

“Who you know opens a lot of doors. But what you know can blow those doors off the hinges.

It’s important to have both pieces to be successful.”

of you, as defined by others,” Prince said. “Your brand isn’t what you do, it’s what people think you do.”

Before working for Disney in California, Prince held jobs as an executive speechwriter and director of communications for the Orange County Business Council.

In today’s world, companies are becoming more like individuals, and individuals are becoming more like

companies in the way each person brands himself or herself, he said.

Prince discussed his “10 secrets of personal branding,” focusing on setting goals, using social media and constantly improving professionally.

“No matter what you do, you can do better. You need to do better than the people around you and look for ways to set yourself apart,” Prince said.

A large part of Prince’s presentation centered on social media, something Prince focuses on at his job at Disney. He said that with so many types of social media, it’s important to use them in a positive way without relying on them as sole means of communication.

“Who you know opens a lot of doors,” Prince said. “But what you know can blow those doors off the hinges. It’s important to have both pieces to be successful.”

Prince told the audience that the world is constantly changing, and it’s important to be open to new ideas.

“The industry is evolving. The jobs you guys are going to have five years from now don’t even exist yet,” Prince said.

While the content of the presentation kept the audience interested, Emelia Armstead, programming director for the SU chapter of the PRSSA, said Prince’s personality is what made an impression on her.

Prince seemed humble and grounded, Armstead said, especially given his many accomplishments at such a young age.

Stephen Connors, a freshman newspaper and online journalism major, said Prince gave a good foundation for how to create a personal brand at a young age.

“Being a freshman, I’m struggling to find an identity for how to brand myself in the communications field, so I think he gave a lot of good information on how to do that,” Connors said.

Given Prince’s expertise in the public relations field, his presentation was especially relatable for students looking to break into the PR industry.

“I’m a public relations major, so everything he was saying was relevant to me,” said Weiwei Lin, a junior public relations and finance major. “I thought the 10 tips he gave were helpful, especially the ones about social media, so I’m probably going to apply some of those tips to my own life.” blsamuel@syr.edu

KEEPING BUSY

Matt Prince, social media manager for The Walt Disney Co., has held many different jobs and also found success through a variety of opportunities, according to his website. Some of these include:

• Founding the Social Ladder, a creative agency and publishing company in Orange County, Calif.

• Launching two blogs: The Princeples of Dating and The Princeples of Business • Founding Beehooved, a digital media news site, in which he serves as chief editor • Member of the Board of Directors for the Orange County Public Relations Society of America • Volunteer disaster response public information officer for the Orange County Red Cross

then grabbed her and brought her across the street, Kraft said.

The death of the four firefighters is the most important thing to remember from that day, she said. The firefighters thought there were still people inside of the building.

“I believe some of them knocked on my door,” Kraft said. “And they got me out — and saved my life.”

Cirsten Carle lived on the third floor and awoke to a crackling sound in her ears — something she later learned was the result of breathing in toxins from the fire.

It was extremely quiet, she said, and there was a light coming into the room. She tried turning on the lights but they didn’t go on, Carle said, and she noticed the floorboards were glowing.

“Nothing made sense to me at that point,” she said.

It was then Carle yelled for help out of the window. She got dressed, put her Martin sunburst guitar in the closet, grabbed her camera and went downstairs.

Carle ran into a firefighter coming up the stairs who asked her if there was anyone still inside the building. She said she didn’t know.

“They knew full well the dangers of their work, but they gave a commitment to serve mankind.”

She said the event is still very emotional for her, something that’s evident in Carle’s voice.

“I almost feel guilty,” Carle said. “That it was my fault.” Though she would later learn the firefighters were required to enter the building.

The fire was widely reported to have happened because a student left a candle burning unattended in one of the apartments.

But Carle said a law student told her the fire started because of a faulty electrical line that was installed by someone who wasn’t an electrician. This is something she didn’t tell the fire investigators because she only found out after she had been interviewed.

With a lot of emotion in her voice, she recalled the moment when she saw the bodies of the firefighters being taken out on stretchers.

The firefighters’ funerals were held in the Cathedral of Immaculate Conception in downtown Syracuse. More than 2,000 people — including 1,500 uniformed firefighters from 40 departments as far away as Philadelphia and Boston — attended.

The cathedral only sat 1,200 people, and many had to watch the service on televisions in the Onondaga County War Memorial, reported The Syracuse Herald-Journal on April 12, 1978.

A service was also held in Hendricks Chapel.

Glen Ellman photographed the fire for The Post-Standard and The Daily Orange, and also took pictures of the service.

He described the ceremony as “unbelievably emotional,” and remembers taking a picture of one of the firefighters’ widows being given a flag.

“I still see that picture and I still think about that,” Ellman said. “I said, ‘I never, ever want to do this again.’”

As a commercial photographer who works for the fire department in Fort Worth, Texas, Ellman has had to photograph funerals there, as well as some after Sept. 11. But he said he still thinks about the University Avenue fire.

daily orange file photo Syracuse police officers carry the victims of the fire at 701 University Ave. Four firefighters died after entering the building in hopes of rescuing people still trapped inside.

Deputy Chief Dave Reeves wasn’t on duty the night of the fire, but was scheduled to work the next day. When he turned on the radio and heard the news, he said he felt a pit in his stomach that was impossible to describe.

He joined the Syracuse Fire Department in 1973 and was a city firefighter at Engine Company 7, which serves the Hill and surrounding area.

Reeves said he was close friends with Petragnani and Duda, two of the firefighters who died. He had also worked with Porpiglio and had just met Schuler.

“It’s always difficult to lose a colleague that you’ve sat [with] at a picnic table in their backyard,” Reeves said. “It’s anguishing.”

Many firefighters transferred because the memory of the fire was too painful, he said. Others spent the rest of their lives trying to fill the

hole it left behind.

In 2005, a plaque honoring the lives of the firefighters was placed in Whitman. Reeves helped design it.

The lessons from the fire aren’t lost, he said, and new mayday and communications procedures were developed. A report on the fire was re-issued a few years ago, and the department tries to make sure there’s awareness about what happened, he said.

Thirty-five years later, though, it’s still critical to remember that the men who lost their lives aren’t just names on a monument, he said.

“Never forget,” Reeves said, echoing the call that followed Sept 11. “There’s where we want to be with this — we never want to forget these guys.” dmsegelb@syr.edu @dylan_segelbaum

Contrast exists between biking initiatives Adding bike lanes to Waverly and Comstock avenues is a positive development for the community.

The Syracuse Common Council approved the addition of new bike lanes on Waverly and Comstock avenues, a project that will enhance safety for students who travel by foot and bicycle. The bike lane project is beneficial to the entire campus community, as it increases pedestrian safety by narrowing hazardously wide roads and supples a more secure place for cyclists to travel.

Beyond safety, the bike lanes also coincide with the university’s green initiatives. The lanes might encourage more to travel by bike, therefore reducing SU’s carbon footprint.

Student Association members are also attempting to make campus more beneficial for bik-

EDITORIAL by the daily orange editorial board ers, though not in conjunction with the bike lanes project. Ivan Rosales-Robles, chair of the Student Life Committee, said the organization is working with the administration to bring a bike repair station to campus for the fall semester.

The station would function in the form of a pole cemented to the ground, attached with the necessary tools to repair a bike.

Though this concept might benefit students who bike, it might not be an effective use of SA funding for the overall campus community.

A less costly way to aid cyclists might be to supply repair equipment at the main desks of the Schine Student Cen-

ter and Archbold Gymnasium.

Students could access the repair tools there, at two separate locations on campus, without the costs and planning of installing a station.

The repair station concept is more appropriate for this university than the bike rental program the SA committee previously attempted to bring to campus.

However, the Student Life Committee should work to expand its reach beyond this niche sector of campus to also aid a larger portion of the campus community.

The new bike lanes will supply an additional service for all students, whether cyclists or pedestrians. Student Life Committee members must work to ensure the initiatives they pursue also benefit the majority of SU students.

Standardized testing should be modified to better measure genuine learning

A

s a country, we are relying too heavily on standardized test scores. The proof is in the recent indictment of several Atlanta teachers.

Thirty-five teachers were charged with racketeering. The teachers were charged with changing students’ answers on standardized tests. They tried to improve the scoring in order to reap the benefits higher test scores bring to their school districts and careers, according to Fulton County prosecutor Paul Howard.

The teachers were caught when an unusually high number of erasures were found on test forms.

Some principals are thought to have forced teachers to have erasure “parties,” according to reports from the Georgia Bureau of Investigation. The teachers have been accused of taking completed tests and changing answers together.

School district scores rose dramatically when the score alterations

were taking place.

No doubt, the teachers in Atlanta are mainly to blame. Their cheating is not justified anymore than a student cheating on a test. Their behavior needs some explanation. But part of the issue is the importance we as a nation stress on standardized tests. The teachers had a strong incentive to correct the tests in order for the school district to receive more funding, and often an increase in salary.

As a part of the No Child Left Behind Act, school district officials are required to evaluate teachers based on test scores. This is designed to ensure all children are given the same basic material.

The law also offers cash incentives that make teachers want to raise their students’ test scores.

Rather than try and teach children in different ways, the Atlanta teachers decided to modify the tests.

Ideally, the law should encourage teachers to work harder and improve

to the left, to the left their teaching methods. But this is not the case.

It’s not only teachers who are affected by the tests, but children, too. Throughout the country, parents are deciding to opt out of the choice to let their children take these exams. In Long Island, a group of parents is telling school officials the tests are making their children upset because questions are too difficult and too much time is being spent on the test in the classroom, WCBS reported.

Groups of parents and teachers were in Washington, D.C., last week to boycott standardized tests in an

event called “Occupy the Department of Education.”

New York State Department of Education Associate Commissioner Ken Wagner said, “Parents who keep their children from taking these tests are essentially saying, ‘I don’t want to know where my child stands, in objective terms, on the path to college and career readiness.’”

Those in New York’s Department of Education and others argue that by not having a standard to which to teach or test is problematic. We might not know if teachers are doing a good job or if some students are lacking the skills they need to succeed in life. By getting rid of standardized tests, children could be coddled or given an easier time. Critics fear children could be shielded from competitiveness.

At the same time, by overemphasizing the importance of the test, teachers might become less focused on students’ learning. The tests require teachers spend time, “teach-

ing for the test.” In other words, teachers try and teach students in a way that helps them pass the test.

This could mean spending time on material that would ordinarily not need to be covered.

We can all agree there must be standards in our education system.

Students need to demonstrate an understanding of material while teachers should be held accountable for their own performances. The case in Atlanta demonstrates this.

Getting rid of standardized tests is not likely to happen. As a country, we have placed a great deal of emphasis on their importance and have invested a great deal in creating them. Yet we need a better way of measuring genuine student learning while keeping standards high. Right now, it seems like neither is being done.

Representatives from Michigan designed the advertisement for SU’s website and Ross said he sent an advertisement to Michigan before the game.

Ross said Michigan’s appearance on the iSchool’s site has been well received by both parties, attracting several comments through social media.

Guppenberger was very involved in SU’s international community and was a founding member of the International Student Organization, said Iggy Nava, a close friend of Guppenberger and sophomore international relations and political science major.

“I will always love this organization,” she said.

Crisp is taking a leave of absence from her assembly position this semester, but intends to return in the fall.

Nick Bonafilia, a junior representative from the L.C. Smith College of Engineering and Computer Science, was elected as recorder for the remainder of the session.

Addressing the assembly, Bonafilia underscored his critical yet constructive personality, and said he’d like to make improving communication within the organization a focal point.

“She just was able to draw people in. She had a magnet-like personality,” he said. “Whenever I saw her, she was always surrounded by a group of people.”

In her close circle of friends, Nava said, Guppenberger had the nickname “Cheeseburger,” which was a play off of her last name. She was a loyal and devoted friend who supported and participated in all of her friends’ organizations and activities, he said.

Guppenberger’s confidence made her an indi-

vidual, Nava said, adding that she had a quirky style and variety of interests. She enjoyed watching romantic comedies and was an avid player of World of Warcraft.

Nava said he and some of Guppenberger’s close friends are in the process of planning a memorial on campus. He said he wants her to be remembered for her kindness and deep commitment to her friends.

MAGIC TOUCH School of Mines and Technology develops fingerprint scanners as alternative method of payment

By Jared Rosen STAFF WRITER

M

aking purchases, whether on campus or Marshall Street, always requires the use of a SUpercard, credit card or cash. But Nexus USA, a security firm, is trying to change that by creating technology to read fingerprints to make purchases.

Ground zero for this potentially revolutionary technology is at the School of Mines and Technology in Rapid City, S.D. The small university comprising predominantly mechanical engineers is testing fingerprint scanners in campus stores as an alternative method of payment, according to a Feb. 22 Associated Press article.

While fingerprint-scanning technology is not new, the technology pioneered by Nexus introduces a new layer of security by checking the imprinted finger for a pulse to ensure a living person is making the purchase, rather than by an imprint or faux print. The additional layer of security included in the scanner helps lower security concerns, according to the article.

Jamie Lieberman, a sophomore public relations major, said she thinks the technology is safer than using credit cards because every fingerprint is different. But she said she fears there is also a chance a fingerprint could be smudged and result in an inaccurate read.

For the technology to take off, it must be implemented as a voluntary solution for payments. Some worry that if this technology becomes mainstream, people will perceive it as Big Brother watching them, according to the article.

Kevin Aziz, a sophomore computer science major, said he doesn’t think the new technology is very secure, but doesn’t worry about more

government oversight.

“I don’t think that there is any Big Brother fear, especially when used for payments, because a traditional credit card gives out similar information,” Aziz said.

The last prominent fingerprint payment launch was Pay by Touch. But after the company tried to launch a full-scale rollout of biometric purchasing, it failed and filed for bankruptcy, according to a November 2007 article by

VentureBeat.

Despite raising $190 million in financing, the company was forced to close its doors and lay off its employees. The largest problem Pay by Touch faced was that the company tried to grow too quickly, according to VentureBeat.

Student entrepreneurs at Carnegie Mellon University are also experimenting with fingerprint purchasing through their venture, PayTango. According to an April 4 Technol-

ogy Tell article, the technology is designed to be implemented exclusively in communities like college campuses.

Nexus officials admitted that one of the reasons fingerprint scanning has been successful at the School of Mines and Technology is because they are testing it with a technologysavvy audience that is not opposed to new technologies and innovations, according to the AP. jmrose03@syr.edu

orey Landis watches the Quad from a slightly elevated position.

Nestled high in a tree near Link Hall, he balances his backpack and a variety of textbooks and notebooks in his barkladen study spot.

“It’s my favorite spot to be outside on campus,” said Landis, a junior biomedical engineering major. He laughed, indicating the trunk supporting him, and said, “It has a nice backing to it.”

April in Syracuse is not often a beacon of springtime. Snowy whiteouts plagued the beginning of the month, and students ambled around campus with limbs tucked beneath layers of peacoats, ski jackets and scarves.

But on Monday, people bared their pale skin to the sun, gathering on the Quad and socializing in groups of all sizes.

Landis enjoys people-watching while he’s on the Quad, taking special joy in the surprise reactions he receives whenever

people notice his nearly hidden lair.

On this particular day, Landis is studying for a quantitative physiology test, as well as neuroscience and electrical engineering. But normally, he prefers to use the tree for leisurely reading — a copy of Kurt Vonnegut’s “Breakfast of Champions” lies dormant in his backpack for when he finishes his studies.

Despite its high-profile location on the Quad, Landis’ coveted spot doesn’t have much competition, he said.

“I don’t think most people think of sitting in a tree as an option,” he said. “When you’ve got all of these benches, they don’t think of it as a thing.”

He saw another person sitting in the same tree once before, and admitted lightheartedly to feeling some disappointment at having to relocate.

But as far as the weather goes, Landis said he feels like this is a vastly exciting progression, due mostly to the juxtaposition between the weather in Syracuse.

“It’s a big deal,” he said. “When you

come from last week, where it was snowing sideways, to this.”

For others on the Quad, the weather provides a catalyst for a more social experience. Groups congregate together on the grass, lounging around with backpacks slung on the ground and laptops perched on laps, oftentimes playing music.

“I always feel bad for the people who come do their accepted students tours on the first day that it’s nice out,” said Jake Mainville, a senior biology major.

Mainville sat with a group of friends mainly from the student-run theater group First Year Players, talking together about 30 yards in front of Hendricks Chapel. The group brought a neon green football for tossing, but had cast it aside in lieu of spending some time together.

For Mainville and his friends, the Quad was the greatest way to spend a fair weather day on campus — while they didn’t necessarily plan for it, or bring many things with them to class, they could take pleasure in

Native American author presents latest work, ‘Bad Indian’

By Madysan Foltz CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Because Deborah Miranda’s family moved from California before she finished fourth grade, Miranda was never able to complete her social studies project about each U.S. state’s history — until now.

She described her latest novel, “Bad Indians,” as a retroactive conclusion to her fourthgrade project.

Miranda came to Syracuse University on Monday to conduct a reading and talk to students in Kittredge Auditorium. The afternoon, sponsored dually by the department of women and gender studies and department of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender studies, offered a poignant look into “Bad Indians.”

Miranda, a Native American writer and poet, described “Bad Indians” as a tribal memoir with “one person telling the story of a collective group of people.”

The talk and reading began with Miranda discussing her personal and family background, her work and the work of the people

just being outside.

Closer to Carnegie Hall, another group of Quad-goers took a more active approach to spending a day in the sun. Three women and two men kicked a soccer ball around with no

around her through a PowerPoint presentation.

It included excerpts of her novel and quotes by similar authors and Indians.

“I am your worst nightmare: an Indian with a pen.” This powerful quote was about the tenacity of Indian history and the silence that has occurred in the past due to illiteracy and tendency to tell stories through spoken communication.

Miranda said she wrote “Bad Indians” to pen the stories of her ancestors, giving them a voice that would reach the masses in a way they were unable to before.

Audience member Gabriel Amaya is of Apache descent, and said he agrees with Miranda’s mission to give ancestors a voice before their stories are lost.

“I think that Indian people have a lot of good history to say that has gone unnoticed,” said Amaya, a freshman civil engineering major.

The presentation delved into serious discussion, some involving rape, abuse and misfortune that has struck the indigenous people and their inability to speak out about the abuse.

Women in particular were highlighted in

Miranda’s talk, accompanied by stories from both her and her ancestors’ pasts.

Miranda said she ran into several issues when writing: biased secondhand information, credibility of the spoken word and objective materials. Finally, it was published. Miranda said she was surprised how invested she became in authoring the decadelong novel.

“I thought I was in charge of writing this book,” she said. “But what I found over the course of 10 years is that the book was in charge of writing me.”

The talk concluded with a brief Q-and-A session during which audience members asked Miranda questions regarding her use of the word “Indian,” the research she conducted for the project, any differences the novel might have had from her previous works and what it is like to write about personal topics.

Many audience members noted that Miranda referred to the subjects of her book as “Indians” throughout her entire presentation, instead of Native Americans.

Julie Wilson, a freshman English and tex-

tual studies major, stated her fascination.

“People put such a big emphasis on being politically correct and respecting the cultures of Indians and Native Americans,” Wilson said, “yet here is this confident Native American woman calling herself an Indian, no doubt in her mind that is the correct term for herself.”

Throughout the evening, the stories of Miranda’s family were greeted with numerous nods of the head, soft murmurs and gasps from the audience.

Wilson found the presentation compelling.

Concluding the evening, Miranda offered advice for writing careers, stating that gossip is the best source of information. People may embellish or exaggerate the truth in some cases, she said, but more often than not, gossip is one of the sincerest ways to find pieces of personal information one may not have been privy to otherwise.

Audience members walked away from the speech with insight into a culture that many had not experienced in the past. Copies of “Bad Indians” are now available for purchase.

clear intention of starting a game, but rather to perform flashy tricks.

Vivian Gomez, a sophomore biology major among the group, kicked the ball in the air like a Hacky Sack, bouncing it off of her bright orange Adidas cleats.

Gomez thinks the soccer ball adds an extra social element to Quad life.

“As soon as you bring a ball, people start

coming,” Gomez said with a laugh. “I had the ball and people are like ‘Oh, pass it!’”

On the exact opposite diagonal of the soccer players, the classic Quad scene was unfolding: a picnic — complete with decorative blanket and Chipotle meal — held by Taylor O’Brien and Kim Powell, a sophomore political science and sophomore art and video major, respectively.

“Everyone just seems more communal,” Powell said, looking around. “I get to see more people. I run into people.”

Powell and O’Brien were joined by their friend Jisu Pang, a junior information studies major, also toting Chipotle.

Pang had her laptop out, playing a playlist from a friend’s birthday that featured “Tipsy”

by J-Kwon.

The group heard rain was to be expected for the rest of the week, but was happy to take advantage of the nice weather for the moment.

Said O’Brien: “I hope it stays this way.”

Punk band Paramore releases self-titled album with new band members, retains same rock sound

P

By Erik van Rheenen STAFF WRITER

aramore should have split up in 2010.

The band’s instrumental core — guitarist Josh Farro and brother Zac — called it quits in a blog that went straight for singer Hayley Williams’ throat. Josh accused Williams of treating Paramore like a solo project and chastised her band mates for “riding on the coattails of her dream.”

The band trucked on without them: Rhythm guitarist Taylor York got promoted to lead and drummer Ilan Rubin filled in behind the kit. The Farros moved on to a new project, Novel American, a band exactly no one has heard from.

Fast-forward to 2013 and it probably really sucks to be the Farro brothers right now. “Paramore” is a hulking 17-track comeback album out to prove that, with the Farro brothers or not, Williams and company still have the chops — and the balls — to be pop-rock behemoths.

Gone is the venom and rampant teen angst from Paramore’s 2007 breakout record, “Riot!”.

Fans angling for an heir to “Misery Business” or “crushcrushcrush” won’t find it here. The self-titled album’s bitterest cuts — songs “Now” and short, fast and loud “Anklebiters,” especially — feel woefully out of place on a confectionary pop record with an eye on Top 40 charts.

Where first single “Now” is an aggressive slice of 90s-influenced radio rock, second single “Still Into You” pulls a 180 on fans. Stuffed full with sugary sweet vocals and hooks, Williams shines on the tune, belting out a chorus that swoops over punchy guitar riffs. It’s a cutesy love song — a far cry from Paramore’s almost b*tchy “Misery Business.”

But this is Paramore in 2013, a band that’s

unabashedly happy with spinning pop tunes.

Sometimes, though, it feels like Paramore overdoses on sappiness. Three ukulele-strumming interludes (“Moving On,” “Holiday” and “I’m Not Angry Anymore”) feel sort of kitschy, and closer “Future” tries a little too hard to be epic, rampaging through almost eight minutes of mostly instrumentals.

When Paramore is on point, the band bottles lightning. “Ain’t It Fun” takes a kitchen-sink approach, mingling marimbas, a gospel choir and a jaunty guitar riff. It’s a quick standout in the band’s discography, and Williams turns in a vocal performance that’s equal parts unmatched and love struck.

The band still shines when it backs away from the over-glossed sheen of “Ain’t It Fun” and “Still Into You,” seamlessly sliding into bouts of good, old-fashioned pop-rock. “Daydreaming” is a toe-tappingly catchy number with a powerhouse chorus, and album opener

“Fast In My Car” could pose as a Cars B-side without so much as a second glance.

“Paramore” isn’t an album that begs to be listened to in one sitting. It doesn’t demand your full attention at all times. With 17 songs cluttering the run time, there’s bound to be filler — the interludes, schizophrenic “(One of Those) Crazy Girls,” Taylor Swift-y “Hate To See Your Heart Break.” It’s inescapable.

But there’s one thing this album isn’t, and that’s a one-dimensional Hayley Williams solo project.

Guitarist Taylor York goes on a tour de force on the record’s rockers, slinging his axe with pomp on “Grow Up” and the back half of “Part II,” Paramore’s spiritual successor to fan favorite “Let The Flames Begin.” And although he’s not technically a band member, drummer Ilan Rubin pounds the skins with ferocity and precision.

Fans (and Farros) who expected 17 tracks of the Hayley Williams show will be left sorely disappointed; “Paramore” is a wholly collaborative effort at heart. Yes, Williams shines and proves she’s got a lot left in the tank — both as a songwriter and singer — but the band mates she has left are more than competent.

Paramore didn’t set out to write a sequel to “Riot!”. Hell, their most profitable record was the one that almost blew up the band. But for all of its mainstream leanings and ploys for the Top 40, “Paramore” is exactly what a self-titled album should be: a mission statement for the band that penned it.

So what is Paramore’s mission statement?

Staying true to its songwriting, pop-punk or not. ervanrhe@syr.edu @TheRealVandyMan

SEASON REVIEW F ROM PAGE 16

offensive center, DaJuan Coleman, is a freshman who needed the season to adjust to the college level, and missed eight games after having knee surgery.

Adding to all of that was James Southerland’s eligibility issue. The six games he missed left the Orange without its best shooter.

Boeheim said Saturday that Syracuse has “one guy” who can shoot from the arc.

“We had ups and downs like a lot of teams do, but I think ours were a little crazier than other teams’,” guard Trevor Cooney said.

The Orange also didn’t have much veteran leadership, aside from senior Brandon Triche.

Syracuse had a new point guard in Michael Carter-Williams, who had a tumultuous year of his own.

Carter-Williams, who played in 26 games and averaged 10.3 minutes last season, became Syracuse’s starting point guard this season.

The 6-foot-6 Carter-Williams struggled to take care of the basketball at times, particularly against smaller guards. He finished the year with an average of 3.4 turnovers per game. He also had some forgettable matches, like when he missed eight free throws against Temple or scored only two points in SU’s loss to Michigan on Saturday.

But at times, Carter-Williams was spectacular. In Syracuse’s 61-50 win over Indiana in the Sweet 16, he scored 24 points on 9-of-19 shooting. For the whole NCAA Tournament, Carter-Williams shot 44.4 percent from the field.

Carter-Williams improved as the season wore on. And the more he improved, the more success Syracuse had.

“It’ll be a month that I’ll never forget,” Carter-Williams said. “I think we accomplished some really great things. A lot of people didn’t think we’d make it this far. We had high expectations for ourselves. We’re just real disappointed.”

Lasting through the entire season, though, was the inconsistency of Syracuse’s offense.

8 2 4 3 9 2 4 9 7 3 5 6 1 4

While the Orange’s defense was always strong, its offense could never quite catch up.

In Syracuse’s 10 losses, the Orange shot 38.4 percent from the field and 26.4 percent from the arc. In Syracuse’s 30 wins, though, it shot 45.7 percent from the field and 35.7 percent from the perimeter.

“Our offense struggled this year,” Boeheim said. “The only game we lost where we played well on offense was at Marquette. That was the only game we lost where we played pretty well on offense.”

While Syracuse’s offense struggled, its defense was dominant, especially in the NCAA Tournament. Some of the best teams in the country, including Indiana and Marquette, looked completely lost against the Orange’s 2-3 zone defense — which became the hot topic of the NCAA Tournament.

Syracuse’s opponents in the tournament shot only 31.1 percent from the field and 19.1 percent from the arc. But the Orange’s defense could only carry it so far before Michigan’s offense scored eight 3-pointers on Saturday — six in the first half — allow the Wolverines to move on to the national championship and send Syracuse home.

Still, the Orange made it to the Final Four after finishing the regular season 1-4 with a lackluster offense.

“Everybody kind of counted us out,” Cooney said. “We came together as a group and really believed in ourselves. No one picked us to be here, but we got here. It shows a lot about our team and the character we have.”

As he spoke quietly in a room off of the locker room Saturday, Boeheim said he didn’t discuss his team’s “limitations” during the season because he didn’t want it to look like he was giving himself credit. He said his players were the ones who made an improbable run to the Final Four possible.

With all of the challenges Syracuse encountered, the Orange’s season ended in a place few expected it to.

Said Boeheim: “What they’ve done, I think, is incredible.”

Injured Broyld studying multidimensional role from sidelines

By David Wilson ASST. SPORTS EDITOR

A year ago, Ashton Broyld struggled to get on the field.

He lacked a clearly defined role. He came to Syracuse as a quarterback, but was primarily a running back and wide receiver.

This spring, he could be preparing for a

breakthrough year. In practice, he has made plays split out wide, from the backfield and even under center, to prepare for a potential pistol offense.

There were signs of progress, but Broyld suffered a high ankle sprain earlier this spring and was ruled out for the remainder of spring

“Last year we tried to do it, I wasn’t quite ready.

It was a lot for me. It was new. I’m glad that I had a chance to mess with it last year, but now I think I’m ready for the whole thing.”

Ashton Broyld

SYRACUSE RUNNING BACK

practice on March 29 — a setback for a player who wowed coaches early in the season.

“It’s too bad, too, because he was playing really well,” head coach Scott Shafer said. “I was really pleased with the way he was playing.”

Broyld starred at Rush Henrietta High School in Rochester, N.Y., and Milford Academy in New Berlin, N.Y., as a quarterback, but moved to running back upon joining the Orange. He rushed for 171 yards as a freshman, highlighted by a 61-yard game and his first career touchdown against Stony Brook, and a 58-yard game against Connecticut.

He faded out of the running back rotation down the stretch. He carried the ball just five times in SU’s last five games and failed to see the field in Syracuse’s final two regularseason games.

Part of that had to do with the strong running back duo of Prince-Tyson Gulley and Jerome Smith, but it was also the transition to a new position.

This year, Shafer wants to use him “all over

the place.”

“Last year we tried to do it, I wasn’t quite ready. It was a lot for me. It was new,” Broyld said. “I’m glad that I had a chance to mess with it last year, but now I think I’m ready for the whole thing.”

The time on the sidelines could help that.

Broyld has the potential to be the ultimate gadget player for the Orange. He has the size to handle the ball in the middle of the field, the speed to play down the sidelines or as a return specialist, and the pedigree to take occasional snaps as a quarterback.

“Mental reps … that’s just as important as actually being out there getting those actual reps,” quarterback John Kinder said, “so I think it should serve him well.”

During seven-on-seven drills in the Orange’s first practice of the spring, Broyld was almost exclusively used as a wide receiver. With the top two wideouts gone from a year ago, it’s perhaps his best opportunity to get onto the field consistently.

Broyld has been on the sidelines for each of the Orange’s scrimmages since injuring his ankle, getting a chance to see each of the positions he could play come fall — running back, slot receiver, wideout and quarterback.

“He’s a great-looking kid and real exciting — he’s big and he can move real well,” wide receiver Jarrod West said. “He’s real good in open space, so he’ll definitely help us once he gets healthy and comes back.” dbwilson@syr.edu @DBWilson2

With odds stacked against it, Orange’s Final Four run impressive

By Chris Iseman SPORTS EDITOR

ATLANTA — Jim Boeheim spoke in a softened tone, just feet away from where his players sat stunned — some tearyeyed — as the realization that their season ended sank in. The Syracuse head coach admitted the loss was tough. He said it always hurts to lose.

Even if the odds were always against the Orange.

Here was a team that lost three starters from last season, had a point guard playing meaningful minutes for the first time, a forward who was ineligible for six

games, two centers who struggled offensively for much of the year and lost four of the final five games of the regular season.

Despite all of that, the Orange made a run to the Final Four.

“I hope every team we have can go to the Final Four, but we’ve had 20 teams out of 37 that should’ve gotten there instead of this team, at least,” Boeheim said.

“They’ve just done an incredible job.”

With a defense that looked unbeatable and an offense that clicked at the right time, Syracuse rolled over its opponents in the NCAA Tournament to earn a trip to the Final Four in Atlanta.

“We came together as a group and really believed in ourselves. No one picked us to be here, but we got here. It shows a lot about our team and the character we have.”

Despite all of the challenges the Orange faced during the course of the season, it ended up in the Georgia Dome, one win away from playing in the national championship for the first time in 10 years. Syracuse came up short, but after a season like this, making it this far was an unexpected accomplishment.

After the Orange’s semifinal loss to Michigan, Boeheim said Syracuse had “limitations.” The Orange only had one guard off of the bench. Its centers, Baye Moussa Keita and Rakeem Christmas, struggled offensively. Syracuse’s better
