hen it comes to making a joke, The Kumquat’s motto is, “no one is safe.”

The Kumquat, Syracuse University’s only satirical news show, was founded on the idea that all campus stereotypes can be made fun of. This year, the organization has caught the attention of the campus community for making jokes about everything from sorority girls to Student Association officials socializing with Osama bin Laden.

For The Kumquat, the difference between what is funny and offensive is often ambiguous, and in its depiction of campus stereotypes, the group is faced with the challenge of walking that line.

The organization was created by three S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications students with the intention of providing satire to the student body.

“We all were just interested in satire and satirical news and we didn’t really see an outlet on campus for that yet,” said Alex Kuzoian, one

of the founders.

The first project that created buzz was a video titled “Sh*t Newhouse Kids Say.” The video, which has more than 3,000 hits, was the starting point

“Satire isn’t supposed to enforce generalizations or stereotypes, it’s supposed to make fun of the fact that they exist.”

Nick Sessler

CO-FOUNDER OF THE KUMQUAT

for future Kumquat projects.

“It started off joking about being a kind of stuck-up, think-we’re-betterthan-everyone-else-Newhouse kid … that isn’t necessarily applied to everyone, but it’s a stereotype,” said Sarah Schuster, the group’s

president and humor columnist for The Daily Orange. “From that just stemmed this joke of, ‘What if we acted like we’re three stuck-up Newhouse kids presenting news?’”

The Kumquat comes several years after the satirical show “Over the Hill,” which ran on the HillTV network. The show was shut down for publishing content that contained “potentially offensive jokes about black people, Indians (both American and those from India), women, date rape, eating disorders and even lynching,” The Daily Orange reported on Oct. 28, 2005.

All of The Kumquat’s founders are aware of the show’s history, and said they thought that particular content went too far.

Schuster said what happened to “Over the Hill” doesn’t worry her.

Regardless of the show’s history, she said she believes the group has an ethical responsibility to not take any joke too far.

“We’re all about making people laugh with us or making people laugh at us, but never something

SPD awaits toxicology report result

By Meredith Newman ASST. NEWS EDITOR

The Syracuse Police Department is awaiting a toxicology report for a Syracuse University student who died from a fall in the early morning of April 6, said Sgt. Tom Connellan of SPD. The student was identified as Marianne Guppenberger, a freshman in the College of Arts and Sciences. Guppenberger was from Taipei, Taiwan, and was a resident of Day Hall.

The circumstances of the death have not been released.

Police expect to receive the report in the next few weeks, Connellan said.

SPD would not comment on the status or nature of the case because it is an ongoing investigation, he said. mhnewman@syr.edu @MerNewman93

A Syracuse University employee was arrested Thursday afternoon for bringing a gun to campus.

The employee, Chung Chen, 60, who is a professor of managerial statistics in the Martin J. Whitman School of Management, was arrested on charges of criminal possession of a weapon and reckless endangerment, said Sgt. Tom Connellan of the Syracuse Police Department.

The gun, a .45 caliber handgun, was found in a leather satchel by another SU employee who was cleaning up after a lecture in Eggers Hall at about 2 p.m. on Thursday, Connellan said.

The employee contacted the SU Department of Public Safety, which then determined the owner of the gun, Connellan said.

The gun is licensed to Chen under a New York state sportsman’s permit. Although the gun is legally registered, it’s a violation of SU policy and a crime in New York state for anyone other than a law enforcement officer to bring a firearm to a

The group stood together in the biting cold as a part of “Light Up the Night with Remembrance,” a candle-lighting in memory of loved

ones with cancer.

The ceremony was organized by the executive board of the Syracuse University chapter of Camp Kesem, a weeklong summer camp for children with parents who have or have had cancer, said Brown, one of the founders of the SU chapter.

Camp Kesem is a national organi-

zation that was created by a group of Stanford University students in 2000.

It has 40 chapters in more than 20 states, Brown said.

Challenge course to be constructed on South Campus

By Dylan Segelbaum ASST. COPY EDITOR

It’s a challenge course — and an outdoor education center.

That’s what is being built on South Campus. The Department of Recreation Services announced the answer Thursday to the Division of Student Affairs’ campaign, “What’s Being Built on South?”

“This has been something we’ve been working on for a number of years to complement our outdoor education program,” said Joe Lore, director of the Department of Recreation Services.

Construction of the course, which will include high- and low-rope elements and a zip line, will begin in

the spring, according to a Thursday SU News release. The course will be open to Syracuse University students, faculty, staff and the community. It’s expected to open Aug. 15, Lore said.

The outdoor education center will be located in an area across from the Inn Complete. The challenge course will be built on a hill near a radio

In the weeks leading up to the announcement that a challenge course would be built on South Campus, the Living SU blog released several clues about what the project would be.

being finalized, but Lore described the fee for SU students as “minimal.”

The course is geared toward students, he said, and prior reservations are required to use it.

The Division of Student Affairs is funding the outdoor education facility and course, Lore said.

Thomas Wolfe, senior vice president and dean of student affairs, said the project is funded internally through the Division of Student Affairs, but wouldn’t say how much it’s expected to cost.

The project was delayed in 2008 when the economic crisis hit, he said, and a choice was made to preserve other programs instead of going

Internal issues motivate SA representatives to prove organization’s abilities

E

ggers Café was dimly lit Friday morning as I sat at a small table across from Adrianna Kam, our jackets damp from the downpour of a Central New York rain shower that refused to quit.

But Kam’s disposition did anything but mirror the dreary gray skies beyond the cafe’s windows. Instead, this Student Association representative in the School of Education shook my hand and provided the starkest contrast. Without hesitation, it was confirmed: SA is moving again.

In the last several weeks, Syracuse University students have been met with disappointment by their student government. But the intense scrutiny and disapproval is not leading to an association of discouraged representatives set on abandoning it.

Instead, this inner-organization turmoil is providing representatives with a motivating challenge to rid SA of its recently tarnished image.

“Assembly members are not up and leaving due to this incident,” Kam said with confidence. In fact, Board of Elections and Membership Chair Emily Ballard has received no letters of resignation from assembly members due to this specific reason, Kam said.

Rather, the representatives make up the core of progress to come. Kam describes this “rough patch” as the source of inspiration for many

campus watchdog to prove SA’s capabilities for greatness to the student body through small, large and home college initiatives.

Less substantial initiatives range from implementing toilet seat covers in university buildings to installing a comment box in the Schine Student Center to gather feedback. Though these efforts can be seen as somewhat beneficial, they don’t compare to the importance of the organization finally working to combat larger issues affecting the majority of SU students.

SA’s general assembly meeting last Monday proved the organization is taking a step in the right direction. By deciding on three worthy issues – tuition rates, academic advising and campus hunger – representatives are beginning to prove they are in touch with the needs of the student body.

On Monday evening, the assembly will chose

separate point people to lead the entire group in addressing each of the three issues. Representatives have been submitting applications containing concrete plans throughout the week.

Coordination between committee chairs and representatives will be necessary to make changes in any one of these areas, as well as dedication to working with faculty and administration to see actual progress. But Kam said she and her enthusiastic colleagues are fully committed and have confidence in the cabinet to help the rest of the organization effectively execute a plan of action.

A similar sense of faith in assembly members is echoed by College of Visual and Performing Arts representative Jane Hong, a freshman with an admirable sense of honesty all members of the organization should work to replicate.

Hong was elected last semester, but admits she was not very productive. “I think, reflecting back, I was just very intimidated,” Hong said.

But that sense of intimidation has been long shed. The recent mishandlings, which have wrongfully overshadowed the work of the representatives, made Hong re-examine her position.

“More than ever I want to change people’s perspective on the Student Association,” Hong said.

Hong is personally working on creating a

regularly scheduled Centro bus route to West Campus, along with several other initiatives.

She said that more than ever, representatives are listening to the complaints of students and increasing efforts to collect feedback, like more frequent tabling and conducting more surveys.

Like many representatives now, Hong said her motivation is at an all-time high, and that her primary focus is on the students, not the internal discourse.

She now rightfully has much higher expectations for President Allie Curtis after feeling disappointed by her leadership. She hopes to see Curtis accomplish her platform goals and become a role model for all SA members.

SA’s tumultuous, substandard actions in past weeks are generating a necessary wave of motivation within the organization, though it is unfortunate that publicized mishandlings were the necessary spark.

“We actually have power as students,” Hong said. A concept all members should not only realize, but use to their advantage.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR became editor in chief of Reader’s Digest Books. I

hold deep gratitude for Syracuse University — but now I also have a big resentment.

My daughter, Maggie, an honor roll and high-honor roll student, happens to be deaf. She attends a mainstream school. Maggie’s digital hearing aids help some, but she relies heavily on lipreading and body reading to understand class discussions. She catches 50 percent. Maggie works twice as hard as most, seeing each teacher once a week, doing extra reading and working three hours a week with a teacher for the hearing impaired. Her average has consistently been 92, though this year it’s up to 96. Maggie mentors younger deaf students and volunteered a week of each of the last four years to help rebuild New Orleans. SU rejected her application to join the class of 2017.

I was shocked. Of course I know and understand Maggie’s intelligence and work ethic. Maggie fell in love with SU having attended football and basketball games and hearing my stories and love for the school. Last year, we took a formal tour for prospective students. She really wanted to attend and graduate from Syracuse.

I asked the Office of Admissions and

Financial Aid to explain Maggie’s rejection, but they would not. I wanted to know if Admissions levels the playing field for deaf and blind students. Meaning: Do they recognize that a deaf student in a mainstream school carrying a 92 average compares to a hearing student with a 97 or 98 average? Couldn’t get an answer.

Then, the admissions office defended its decision and wrote that they have a long record of “inclusion” and did not “discriminate,” when I hadn’t even mentioned prejudice. This made me think that perhaps Admissions “doth protest too much.”

I started a complaint to file with the U.S. Department of Justice under the Americans with Disabilities Act. In my anger and frustration, I fantasized that perhaps the United States vs.

Syracuse University could be a landmark case forcing colleges and universities to level the playing field in some way for disabled students.

Maggie asked me not to and said, “Don’t worry dad, I’ll do something about it when I graduate law school.” Watch out world.

SU should apply resources to student needs, not ropes course The Division of Student Affairs is not effectively targeting Syracuse University students with its latest project: an outdoor challenge course.

This spring, the Department of Recreation Services will begin constructing an outdoor challenge course, equipped with rope team-building elements and a dual zip line, on South Campus. The project will also include an outdoor education center to house workshops focused on the benefits of outdoor education. It is expected to be completed by fall 2013.

Though students, faculty, staff and community members are welcome to use the course, there will be a fee to participate. Also, students will not be able to utilize the course for much of the academic year because it will only be open from April to November.

The Division of Student Affairs is funding the course construction internally. But with an indoor ropes course already located in Flanagan Gymna-

EDITORIAL by the daily orange sium since August 2011, this use of university time, attention and monetary resources could be put to better use.

Instead of building another ropes course and facility for outdoor education on South, efforts should be redirected to address the university’s existing issues.

Student housing is a consistent problem in need of attention. Constructing a building to house students instead of outdoor education workshops could prove more beneficial.

Though a ropes course provides an entertaining service for the community, it is not a necessity at SU and does not cater to the needs of college students.

The university administration should allot more resources toward solving campus’ evident problems rather than adding luxuries.

FEMEN’s protest proves problematic by failing to represent majority of Muslim women

F

EMEN’s “International Topless Jihad Day” failed to accurately represent the majority of Muslim women. Instead, the flawed campaign generated frustration rather than support from the community the group intended to liberate.

FEMEN is a protest group based in Kiev, Ukraine, known for staging topless demonstrations. FEMEN uses the female body as a symbol of resistance in order to contrast the objectifications made by the media and fight for women’s equality.

The group dubbed April 4 “International Topless Jihad Day” to show support for 19-year-old Amina Tyler. Tyler became the subject of controversy after she posted topless pictures of herself on the Internet with messages like, “My body belongs to me and is not the source of anyone’s honor” written on her chest. A Muslim cleric responded to

the pictures by calling for her to be stoned to death.

FEMEN displayed its solidarity with Tyler on “International Topless Jihad Day” by staging topless protests in various countries. Some messages found on protestors’ bodies included, “Freedom for Women” and “No Islamism.”

But the majority Muslim women rightfully continue to lack appreciation for this effort.

Muslim women’s frustration with FEMEN led activist Sofia Ahmed to create “Muslimah Pride Day” to celebrate the voices of many Muslim women who FEMEN conveniently ignores.

On Wednesday, Ahmed expressed her frustration with FEMEN’s practices in a piece for The Huffington Post.

“Despite the popularity of our campaign and the strong message that it sent out, FEMEN have contin-

i am woman, hear me roar ued to display a flagrant disregard for our agency and have consistently tried to downplay the legitimacy of our collective voices,” Ahmed wrote.

Muslim women have been fighting for gender equality long before FEMEN came along, and the group’s actions are only undermining the work Muslim women have done in the past.

FEMEN’s one-size-fits-all, imperialist feminism fails to acknowledge how one group’s idea of liberation is not universal. This idea of liberation especially contrasts when it comes to clothing.

A year ago, FEMEN members protested against the burqa in France by dressing in the traditional garment, then stripping in front of the Eiffel Tower. They had words such as “Freedom” and “Muslim women, let’s get naked” written on their bodies, and ran half-naked through predominantly Muslim neighborhoods in Paris.

Similar actions were evident in FEMEN’s “International Topless Jihad Day.” In one picture, a member of FEMEN can be seen with a penciledin unibrow, fake beard and a towel on her head with crescent moons and stars outlining her breasts.

This bigoted behavior is unacceptable and does not demonstrate that FEMEN desires solidarity with Muslim women. Instead, these combined actions reveal how FEMEN does not understand one of the key principles of feminism — the freedom of choice.

Islamic feminist author, writes in her book, “Scheherazade Goes West”: “Covering women’s bodies seems to give Muslims a sense of virility, while Westerners derive their own from uncovering them.”

Women from different cultures undoubtedly have different ways of expressing liberation. It becomes problematic when one culture attempts to assert its idea of liberation onto another.

FEMEN’s idea of Muslim women as subjugated and dismissive objects causes the group to misunderstand the agency of Muslim women.

While FEMEN’s premise cannot be dismissed entirely, its tactics and language should be reconsidered.

SU recognizes ASL as official language class

By Melina Martino CONTRIBUTING WRITER

After several months of dedication, the work of a few Syracuse University students and faculty has paid off — American Sign Language is now recognized as an official accredited foreign language.

In the past few semesters, many students realized ASL wasn’t considered an official foreign language at SU, but only an elective, said Leah Nussbaum, vice president of the Disability Student Union. Many people wanted to take it, she added, but were deterred from doing so because it didn’t count toward their language requirements.

Because of this, the Disability Student Union started a petition to inform students of the issue, said Nussbaum, a sophomore policy studies and selected studies in education major.

Members of the Disability Student Union first spoke with Douglas Biklen, dean of the School of Education, to find out what the process was to officially make ASL a foreign language, she said. In past semesters, ASL classes have been offered through the School of Education. Biklen then discussed the issue

with the Department of Languages, Literatures and Linguistics, which falls within the College of Arts and Sciences, and other key administrators.

“I think we had a really positive response, so they are now working on getting a new curriculum and syllabi. And they are currently hiring faculty for the fall semester,” Nussbaum said.

Wendy Harbour, who teaches courses in disability studies, also contributed to the efforts toward making ASL an accredited foreign language, Nussbaum said. Harbour helped guide the organization through the accreditation process.

Corinne Sartori, a sophomore information management and technology major who is deaf, has supported the accreditation of ASL from the start.

For Sartori, learning sign language was a necessity. She said she fell in love with the language.

“Now, I want to make sure that more people will get the experience of the deaf community that I never got when I grew up,” she said.

Sartori said she believes making ASL an accredited language will give students more

opportunities to learn about the language and culture.

“SU is such a big university and we are an hour and a half from one of the biggest deaf communities in the country,” Sartori said. “We don’t even consider it a language here, which I think is a pretty big problem.”

Even though the deaf community on campus is small, Sartori said ASL will introduce a new perspective to all students.

“It will mean a lot because it will show that we are a culture and we have something to contribute to society,” she said.

When students take courses in ASL, Sartori said she believes they will become more comfortable around people with a disability they may never have encountered before.

Nussbaum, the Disability Student Union vice president, said there are many more facets to disability culture than people realize. ASL, she said, recognizes the combination of culture and history.

“It’s more than just signing. There is a history and culture attached to it,” Nussbaum said.

“It’s official now. All we need is for students to sign up. ”

Not knowing the nature of the leak, Pettinati said, she decided to call Physical Plant and the Department of Public Safety and evacuate the lower level of the gym.

At this point, Pettinati said the smell had gotten stronger and begun to spread upstairs.

“The heat had traveled from the hallway into

the regular area,” she said. “You could feel the heat and smell pretty intensely.”

Acting with DPS’ approval, Pettinati then evacuated the whole building with the help of other recreations services attendants. By 10:30 p.m., she said, everyone was out of the building and DPS and the fire department had responded.

forward with construction.

There are many groups on campus that use challenge courses, but have to pay busing and other fees to use them, Wolfe said. The course on South Campus will be easy to access and inexpensive to use, he said.

“We’re saying it’s a win-win for everybody,” he said.

Progress on the construction of the course and more details on the project will be posted on http://challengecourseblog.syr.edu/.

Scott Catucci, assistant director of outdoor education, started working at SU in 2005, but said he heard of the project being discussed as far back as 1998.

“It’s been in the works for quite a long time,” he said.

He described it as being the right time and

Chen told police he intended to go to the firing range after work, Connellan said. Police don’t believe there was any larger threat, he said.

However, a sportsman’s permit only allows the user to transport the gun from home to the shooting range in a secure case, so Chen was “far outside the scope of his permit,” Connellan said.

SPD also seized another gun from Chen’s house and confiscated his permit, Connellan said.

Chen has been suspended from the university, said Kevin Quinn, senior vice president for public affairs, in a statement.

They’ve shown and lent their support for the project, he said.

Trained supervisors will be on the course at all times, Catucci said. Students will also be able to train to become supervisors.

The course will be open April 15 to Nov. 15, he said. This is typical for a challenge course in the Northeast, he said. Challenge courses are built for the outdoors. Elements like pulleys are removed during the winter and access points are blocked off, Catucci said.

Course supervisors will alter programs for each group that visits. He said it’s a good way to build community and assist in team-building on campus.

nected to this incident, as a University we take matters of this kind seriously and will continue to promote a safe and secure campus environment,” Quinn said in the statement.

Melvin Stith, dean of Whitman, sent an email to Whitman students Friday afternoon informing them of Chen’s suspension and the investigation into the incident.

“Please be assured, we take the safety and security of our university community very seriously and remain dedicated to providing such an environment to the entire campus,” Stith said in the email.

He also invited students to contact him with any questions or concerns regarding the incident or safety in general. jliannet@syr.edu @JessicaIannetta

Sweet savings SUNY-ESF class manages sale of homemade syrup to fund scholarships

By Shannon Hazlitt

N

STAFF WRITER

ot only is the pure maple syrup made by SUNY-ESF staff at Heiberg Memorial Forest in Tully, N.Y., better quality than most syrup found in a grocery store, it also helps fund students’ tuitions.

A portion of the proceeds from the maple syrup, along with all of the products for sale in the State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry’s new College Book Store, contribute to a scholarship fund, said Debbie Caviness, assistant to the director for the ESF Alumni Association. The bookstore opened in late March.

Prior to the opening of the bookstore, the proceeds from the syrup sold by the forest properties office were not dedicated to scholarships, Caviness said. Last year, the bookstore began to sell the syrup in its old location in Marshall Hall.

One of the main reasons ESF’s maple syrup tastes better than most available in stores is because it’s made purely from maple trees in the Heiberg Forest, said Robert Davis, director of forest properties at ESF. Flavors such as light amber, medium amber and dark amber all have distinct tastes, Davis said.

Many brands of syrup advertised to be pure maple syrup at grocery stores are really just a mixture of different flavored syrups from a variety of places, he said.

“It’s almost like buying a good wine versus buying a cheap wine,” Davis said.

A new class offered at ESF is helping to create a financial plan for the production of the syrup. The class is determining not just the sustainability of selling syrup, but also the bottled water that is a byproduct of the maple syrup production process.

John Wagner teaches the class, called FOR 333: “Natural Resource Managerial Economics.” He said the students in the class study how to sustainably market a variety of forest products. But this semester, students are focusing on the markets of products that can be sold in the bookstore.

“It’s smart not only on the economic scale, but also in the greater scheme of forest-based ecosystem goods and services as a whole,” said Laurie Raskin, a forest resources management major in the class.

Caviness said the startup costs of selling bottled syrup in the bookstore are high and that shipping the syrup can be expensive. The syrup can be ordered online through the bookstore’s

micah benson | art director website, she said.

But Caviness said she thinks it will be a beneficial way for the college to raise money for scholarships, especially by targeting alumni.

“It’s going to increase the overall revenue of the store, which will affect the scholarships,” Caviness said. “It’s also a great way for us to get our name out there and get some recognition for the college.”

The alumni association is also looking into copyrighting the name “From the Forest” as a brand through which to sell the maple syrup and other products made by ESF’s Department of Forest and Natural Resources Management, Caviness said.

Currently, no students are involved in the actual process of creating the maple syrup, but it is something Mark Appleby, southern forest property manager, said he hopes could be integrated into a class in the future, since syrup production is growing at ESF. He also said the sugar bush in the forest, which is where the syrup is made, has recently expanded from 10 acres to 20 acres. He said he hopes it can eventually expand to 40 acres.

Said Appleby: “Right now, we are just looking toward the future.” smhazlit@syr.edu

chase gaewski | photo editor ALEX KUZOIAN, one of the founders of The Kumquat, records an upcoming video about laxatives in SU dining hall food with another student. The satirical news group makes fun of campus stereotypes such as greek life, Newhouse students and the Student Assocation.

hurtful. Never something like that,” Schuster said. “That made me uncomfortable, so I’d never want to do anything like that.”

Nick Sessler, one of the founders, said making a statement about a specific group is not what satire is about.

“Satire isn’t supposed to enforce generalizations or stereotypes, it’s supposed to make fun of the fact that they exist,” he said.

One of The Kumquat’s most recent and successful videos was “CAMPUS: Bid Day 2013,” which covered the final day of the Panhellenic sorority recruitment process, comparing it to the observation of wild animals in Africa.

The video was picked up by The Huffington Post and college blog Total Frat Move, and got more than 100,000 views in four days, Schuster said.

“Dalai Lama Rages, NFL Refs Resurrected, and Romney” and “’Connecting ‘Cuse’ — PJ Alampi for SA President” are two of the other most viewed videos on The Kumquat’s YouTube channel that were produced during the current school year.

While the response to The Kumquat’s videos has been mostly positive so far, group members said they did receive some negative feedback about the Dalai Lama video, which showed the Dalai Lama with scantily clad girls drinking beer.

The group also received negative feedback for its attack ads on Alampi’s opponents during SA elections, one of which showed SA President Allie Curtis shaking hands with Osama bin Laden.

Curtis was also the subject of the The Kumquat’s most recent video, “Special Report: CURTISGATE.” Curtis said being the butt of jokes comes with the territory of being a political figure on campus, and thought The Kumquat did a good job with “CURTISGATE.” “I was really glad to finally see a campus publication finally shed some light on some

recent SA events in a way that’s not horribly biased or too serious,” Curtis said. “They’ve brought a lot of comedy to a situation that really needs comedy.”

Alampi said he thinks The Kumquat pushes the boundaries as a student organization in a positive way.

“They take media and allow it to be a platform for students to question our own behaviors and our own views on life,” he said.

Alampi said he heard a lot of positive feedback about his endorsement from The Kumquat, but also said he thinks there were some jokes made — specifically about immigration and State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry students — that some people might not have found funny.

“I think a lot of the videos are very successful in that they make people think. If you’re thinking about it, then their job is done,” Alampi said.

Schuster said she didn’t think any of the negative comments about the videos were serious enough to warrant a response.

While Kumquat members work to point out stereotypes that exist on SU’s campus, this idea is also reflected in mainstream satirical shows such as “The Colbert Report,” said Sherri Williams, who teaches COM 346: “Race, Gender, and the Media.”

Satire has to be nuanced for it to be done well, Williams said, pointing to “Saturday Night Live” as an example. She said “SNL” does a good job with gender in the sense that it portrays women in a variety of settings, such as in the home or in politics.

But she said “SNL” does not do as well with its depictions of race.

“When it comes to people of color, especially black people and Latinos, it’s always stigmatizing language and culture … trying to replicate stereotypes is not analyzing them,” she said.

Darcy Clark, a freshman and sister of Kappa Alpha Theta, said she didn’t think the “Bid Day” video portrayed an unfair stereotype of girls involved in greek life, and did not hear any sorority sisters complain about the video.

“None of my friends at home rushed, so I shared it with them and was like ‘This is what

my life is going to be like.’ I thought it was funny,” said Clark, a child and family studies major.

Monica Bermudez, The Kumquat’s manager, agreed there is a fine line between making fun of a group and being offensive, and it is one The Kumquat does not want to cross. She said even within the group, there are sometimes disagreements among members about whether something goes too far, she said.

Looking forward, the Kumquat hopes to become even more recognizable on campus, continue to grow its presence on social media and develop a consistent style.

Said Bermudez: “In terms of people’s responses, we shouldn’t be afraid of putting something out there that might not be funny. I think we’re still at that field where we’re playing around with what works. It’s trial and error.” mlsczpan@syr.edu

LOOKING BACK

In 2005, HillTV’s “Over the Hill” was a student parody news show. It was started with the intention to satirize campus and national news, and received funding from the student activity fee. The program produced content that was considered to be heavily offensive and racist by many in the SU community.

Those that were targeted included minority groups, those in greek life and Chancellor Nancy Cantor.

At the time, the station had common sensitivity rules that applied to all of the shows. These rules prohibited “racist and explicit content and content that glorfies the use of alcohol,” according to an Oct. 28, 2005, article by The Daily Orange.

These comments resulted in students and faculty organizing town hall meetings to voice their anger. Cantor decided to shut down both the program and the HillTV station after listening to the community’s concerns.

CAMP KESEM FROM PAGE 3

fundraise all year, she said, with the goal of raising $15,000-$20,000 to hold the camp at no cost to campers.

From Aug. 19-23, campers ages 6-16 will board a bus from Syracuse to Camp Cayuga in the Pocono Mountains in Northeast Pennsylvania, Brown said.

Camp Kesem is a typical camp except for its

“We want to bring a little bit of magic to kids.”

Alexis Brown

CO-FOUNDER OF SU’S CAMP KESEM CHAPTER

“cabin chat,” which encourages campers to talk openly about cancer and death, Brown said.

The cabin chat will “help them not only cope,” but feel less alone, she said.

The camp’s name comes from the Hebrew word for “magic,” Brown said, which is one thing the camp tries to be for kids affected by cancer.

“We want to bring a little bit of magic to kids,” she said.

As the lighting continued, Redemption Acapella performed Sam Cooke’s “A Change is Gonna Come” at the bottom of the steps to the chapel.

Those present stood in a semicircle, with Brown and Jessica Pelaez, another co-founder, at the center.

Three soloists stepped out of line at different points in the song to deliver a soulful, understated rendition of the 1964 rhythm and blues song.

Brown and Pelaez asked participants to form a circle. A member of the executive board went around to light each student’s candle.

When the candles were lit, Brown invited everyone to shout the name of a loved one with cancer. After a short pause, participants started calling out names.

“Barbara Ford.” “David Williams.”

While many of those gathered shouted the names of friends or relatives, Amber Taylor called out her own name.

During the summer, 16-year-old Taylor found a peanut-sized lump in her breast. An avid summer camp participant, she assumed it was a cyst, probably from being so active.

Her doctor told her it would heal with water and Motrin.

But it didn’t heal. She was diagnosed with breast cancer during her junior year of high school. She played basketball and volleyball, but quit both after her diagnosis.

Still, she graduated from her high school as valedictorian.

Although Taylor said she will be a three-year survivor on April 26, she said she is not in remission and that “there are still some struggles.”

Coming to the lighting, she said, meant “to be full again, to not feel broken” and to regain some sense of normalcy.

“I just keep going,” she said. “I do it for everyone who loves me.” najisaka@syr.edu

MAKING A DIFFERENCE

Since 2001, Camp Kesem, a summer camp for children whose parents have cancer, has grown from a single camp to 41 chapters in 24 states. Each camp is operated by undergraduate students from colleges across the country, totaling to more than 1,500 student leaders.

On a note SU student brings joy to campus through art of leaving inspirational sticky notes Text by Madysan Foltz CONTRIBUTING WRITER

ASST. PHOTO EDITOR

ne Syracuse University student has made it her goal to spread a little cheer across campus.

In the words of Abraham Lincoln, “People are just as happy as they make up their minds to be.”

She has taken the advice to heart.

The newest social experiment on campus, SU Stickies, is more than a spinoff of the original project at Rutgers — RU Stickies.

On March 25, the person behind the project set out to tag the campus with quotes in order to

“inspire you; we want to brighten your day, make you think and make you smile,” according to the Facebook page.

“Sitting on Facebook is so easy, you don’t even have to leave your apartment or your dorm

room. A sticky note is something tangible, people can see it in a bathroom stall, take it home with them, put it on their wall and see it every day they wake up and smile. That’s why I trek all across campus posting 40-60 notes a day. I want to make a difference in those I touch,” said Allie Caren, creator of SU Stickies, a junior newspaper and online journalism major and staff writer at The Daily Orange.

But why sticky notes?

“A Post-it note is such a menial thing — you could write a grocery list on it, your homework assignments, whatever — it’s such a cheap, easy way to spread

Dirty Projectors perform intimate show at The Westcott

By Kelley Rowland CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Instead of the usually belligerent, screaming fans who inhabit rock concerts at The Westcott, the crowd on Sunday mirrored the vibes of a low-key indie-rock band. Decked out in large framed glasses and beanies, the crowd talked among themselves and sipped beers.

The theater silenced as the opener, Delicate Steve, of Fredon, N.J., took the stage. The red and blue lights illuminated the crowd and heads began to bounce as bassist

Jeremy Gustin began to stroke the strings of his bass.

The older crowd stood at the back and let the youngsters jam to the experimental, eclectic music.

Keyboardist Mickey Sanchez simultaneously shook the marimba to the beat of the electronic tunes, but aside for the slow nodding of heads, the crowd was at a standstill, apparently saving their energy for Dirty Projectors.

Daniel Kushner, a Syracuse University alumnus, waited in anticipation for one of his favorite bands to

come on. He had seen them many a time before, but never at a venue like The Westcott.

“I am used to seeing them (Dirty Projectors) in a more relaxed environment in New York City. I am excited to see them in this rock-and-rollkind of atmosphere,” Kushner said.

“Syracuse is such a small place, it’s awesome that a band of this stature came here.”

David Longstreth, lead vocalist and guitarist of Dirty Projectors, walked across the stage as a roar of applause erupted in the room.

Dirty Projects, a Brooklyn-based indie-rock band, released its latest album, “Swing Lo Magellan,” this past summer. The band began the show with the title track, setting a chill, relaxing tone for the rest of the show.

The crowd grew and the theatre eventually reached full capacity by the time Dirty Projectors played its second song, “Offspring Are Blank.”

In between every song, Longstreth acknowledged band mate and drummer Michael Johnson.

“A lot of people get confused and

happiness and a smile,” she said.

Unlike SU Hookups and SU Douchebags — two Facebook pages that encouraged students to brag about their weekend conquests and speak poorly about their peers, respectively — this one is more positive and has been steadily growing.

Leo Wong, a junior advertising major, said he has stumbled upon numerous stickies in the oddest places.

“I’ve found some in the bathroom while doing my business, on the ceiling of an elevator as I randomly decided to gaze up, and on a bench in Newhouse as I sat down,” he said. “As odd as it may sound, they come at the right times. Right when I am tired, worn-out or stressed, I see an SU Sticky nearby.”

Wong said that although it is a simple piece of paper, it can help people realize that “everything they do is worth it.”

Caren said she likes making the notes anonymous for a reason.

“Something like this, you want to stay anonymous for as long as you can because you want to keep the mysticism behind it,” said. “Once people know who I am, I think it’ll diminish it a bit.”

Just because she’s usually anonymous

pul p @ da ilyor a nge.com

doesn’t mean her personality doesn’t show through. She pulls from a myriad of sources for her quotes, including Ernest Hemingway, J.R.R. Tolkien and Coco Chanel, to match every student’s personality.

It allows her to exhibit her own sense of humor and wit through her choice of individual quotes.

Once she has chosen a quote, she finds a random spot on campus and leaves the note there to find its perfect match. She said she believes the sticky will find the right person at exactly the right time.

“Here at SU Stickies, we strongly believe in fate. We don’t think every person will find their sticky, but every sticky will find their person.

It’s kind of like Harry Potter and the wands — the sticky chooses the person,” she said.

Finding stickies has become an adventure for students. Some say it parallels leveling up in a video game.

Anthony Torres, an undeclared freshman in the College Arts and Sciences, said he was excited to look for the notes after he saw the Facebook page.

“When I saw my first two when I was leaving Newhouse I, I felt accomplished,” he said.

“It’s like I finally found an Easter egg in a video game.”

Recently, SU Stickies has garnered attention from beyond the Hill. Rochette R. Withers, part

owner of the local company Stik-WithIt PrintWorks, donated thousands of sticky notes for the cause in the early days of the page’s existence.

The movement is young, though, and many students still don’t know what it is.

“I have never heard of SU Stickies, but the idea sounds great and I really hope I find one soon,” said Kevin Xu, a freshman electrical engineering student.

The stickies can be found all around campus, from the Hall of Languages to S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications and along Marshall Street.

A copycat has been posting fake stickies in Newhouse elevators. Sarah Roche, a master’s student in Newhouse, said it’s impressive that someone else has started posting notes because imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

“The fake one posted near the Newhouse elevator made me laugh. It is great that this is being seen by enough people to have an imitator,” Roche said.

Those involved with SU Stickies encourage students to post pictures and comments of the notes they see around campus on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. The photos are added to the “When Our Stickies Become Yours” album.

The group wants to get students involved because the movement is about them. It creates a sense of community and allows people to feel part of something bigger than themselves.

Caren acknowledges the whole thing sounds corny, but said she just wants to “see the campus smile.” mgfoltz@syr.edu

Coach exhibits business savvy in its ability to cater to young, old clients

W

hen I think of the Coach brand, I envision the suburban tween carrying her canvas “C” logo wristlet through the local mall.

But it wasn’t always this way. Before 1996, the Coach brand targeted an older demographic with its iconic silver toggle bags in brown, tan and black hues. But when Reed Krakoff took over as executive creative director in 1996, he transformed the brand to what it is today.

Now it’s bright, colorful and young. In 2009, Coach appealed to an even younger demographic with the lower-priced Poppy line. Often coined as the luxury line for recessionary times, it appealed to the millennial generation with lower prices, hip designs and social media marketing on Facebook and Twitter.

This phenomenon seemed to happen during the recession, when luxury brands were losing their core demographic, so clothes and accessories were rebranded for a younger audience.

The band interacted with the crowd throughout the show as they smiled and joked with one another. Between “About To Die” and “No Intention,” Longstreth said, “This smoke machine, it’s awesome, it’s like ceremonial.” The crowed erupted into laughter.

With each song, the audience grew more enthusiastic, grooving to the vibes of the fun yet calm music. The set list seemed to be cohesive with the atmosphere, and with the beginning of each new song, the crowd grew wilder. Arms waved in the air, girls shook their hips and

never wears pajamas in public This is obviously a nod toward the way a lot of young people use unnecessary hashtags on Twitter. I used to view Kate Spade as the brand my stylish grandmother wears. Now, it seems that it’s also trying to freshen the line for the social-media-driven generation.

Kate Spade released a new brand to add to its fashion empire, Kate Spade Saturday.

Think of the Saturday line as the younger, less-dressy sister to Kate Spade New York.

Just like Coach’s Poppy brand, the Saturday brand is less mature and lower-priced. The main goal of the new brand is “to channel the spirit of Saturday,” according to the brand’s website.

Tiffany & Co. is another brand that has attracted a younger audience, dating back to

voices shouted along with every word.

Suddenly, as band members began the next song, the amp started to give a lot of feedback.

But the audience didn’t seem to notice. Rather, it was Longstreth who stopped the show to figure out the problem. Avoiding an awkward silence, the band talked with the audience.

Vocalist Amber Coffman said,” I want to finish the song,” to which Longstreth said, “Man, I didn’t do anything.”

As soon as the technical difficulties were resolved, the band continued on with the show. The brief interlude did not deter from the vibe, and after one last song, they walked off of the stage.

But the crowd knew they’d come back for an encore.

The audience clapped, screamed and whis-

Dirty Projectors stormed onto the indie-rock scene in 2002, releasing its first album, “The Graceful Fallen Mango,” under lead singer David Longstreth’s name. The group went on to record concept albums “Rise Above,” a collection of re-imagined Black Flag covers, and “The Getty Address,” an experimental rock opera for Eagles lead singer Don Henley. They earned critical acclaim for the 2009 effort “Bitte Orca,” named the second best album of that year by Time magazine. Dirty Projectors’ newest album, the quirky “Swing Lo Magellan,” came out in July 2012 to mostly positive reviews.

“The Lizzie McGuire Movie” in 2003.

What does an early-2000s Disney Channel show have to do with the Tiffany brand? Hilary Duff’s character, Lizzie, was a style icon for preteens when I was growing up, and always wore one of the “Return to Tiffany” heart toggle necklaces.

Pretty soon, I was seeing these Tiffany necklaces on 13-year-olds in my town, which I found surprising. That was once a brand you wouldn’t even dream of owning unless a handsome millionaire proposed to you.

The movie “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” really exemplifies what the brand used to be: aspirational and luxurious.

Now, with the under-$250 line of heart, lock and key necklaces, Tiffany’s is making it through the recession.

In a way, it’s a smart marketing move. If a company gets the consumers attached to its brand at a young age, they’ll be loyal throughout their life and grow with the brand.

In my opinion, Coach has been the smartest in keeping the loyalty of every demographic to which it appeals — both young and old. Last year, Coach introduced its Legacy Collection.

It did exactly the opposite of what the Poppy

brand did: It appealed to the older generation that wanted the cleaner silhouettes of Coach’s original designs. Instead of black and tan leathers, the Legacy Collection has color-blocked and bright versions.

The combination of Poppy and the Legacy Collection allows the Coach brand to reach more people. And as the Poppy followers mature, they’ll start buying the Legacy Collection and buy the Poppy brand for their children.

It’s a clever brand strategy.

These rebranding strategies are how luxury brands have remained relevant during the recession. The crisis didn’t kill the luxury market, it simply guided customers to the cheaper lines. The companies that haven’t adopted this strategy will ultimately suffer because as the generation that grew up during the recession gets older, it won’t have loyalty to that brand.

You may scoff if you see preteens carrying Coach and wearing Tiffany’s necklaces, but ultimately, it’s all a part of a rebranding strategy.

tled loudly until Dirty Projectors reappeared from behind the stage. Longstreth and company finished the show with well-known tune “The Stillness is the Move,” setting the crowd off as they listened and jauntily danced to the harmonies of Coffman and Olga Bell.

Many of the fans drove from around New

York to see the band live, such as long-time fan Travis Milliman of Le Moyne College.

Said Milliman: “It was awesome. There are a lot of indie-alternative bands out there, but there’s nothing that sounds like Dirty Projectors.”

DOWN AND BACK: Orange stuns Rutgers

By Jacob Klinger ASST. SPORTS EDITOR

One more open look for Syracuse went unfinished. Again, Kris Alleyne stopped a shot that the Orange normally buries. And again, Rutgers rushed the other way with numbers.

Only this time, the SYRACUSE 12 game was tied with 22 left and the ScarRUTGERS 11 seconds let Knights breakaway promised to ruin SU’s Senior Day for good.

Andrew Parrilla sprinted within 15 yards of Dominic Lamolinara’s goal with the kind of clear shooting lane Rutgers had buried shots through all day.

But JoJo Marasco made a full-body dive, catching Parrilla from behind and checking the ball loose. Brian Megill scooped it up, sprinted 50 yards straight through midfield to the Rutgers crease and flipped the ball to Derek Maltz to skip into the left netting.

“I tried to cut (Parrilla) off a little bit, let him know that I was right on his back,” Marasco said, “and I think that worked out great.”

Rutgers missed routine passes, dropped balls and struggled to simply clear the ball. For three quarters, though, Syracuse was worse.

In the fourth, the No. 7 Orange (9-2, 3-1 Big East) unleashed a full-field blitz to erase 45 minutes of

He scored six goals with four in eight fourth-quarter minutes. wasteful shooting, stunning saves from Alleyne, loose defense and faceoff impotence. SU’s veterans spearheaded the comeback, tearing off seven

goals in the fourth quarter. Cal Paduda slowed down Joseph Nardella at the faceoff X, and with the Scarlet Knights (2-11, 0-5) still making the same mistakes that had plagued them all game, Syracuse finally punished them for it in front of a Carrier Dome crowd of 4,048.

“Everyone started to come together and our offense played like we’ve played all year,” Marasco said. “… So I think it came together quickly.”

It had to.

When the Orange took the field for the fourth quarter, the game seemed lost. SU trailed by five and couldn’t get its scorers the ball.

“Coaches really reiterated that we should stick with our game plan and that we were just playing sloppy, and we knew we had openings, we knew we could go at their guys."

Luke Cometti

SU MIDFIELDER

But just 1:14 into the final period, Luke Cometti took the Orange’s second shot of the quarter and buried it. Marasco fed him again two and a half minutes later to close the score to 10-7 Rutgers. Suddenly, a comeback seemed viable.

“Coaches really reiterated that we should stick with our game plan and that we were just playing sloppy, and we knew we had openings, we knew we could go at their guys,” Cometti said. “And our team, our offense was making it a lot easier to find me. Guys like JoJo playing with their heads up makes it a lot easier.”

Cometti scored a career-high six goals on the day, four in seven-and-a-half fourth-quarter minutes. He glided through the Rutgers zone seemingly invisible, and finished chances iden-

tical to ones he and his offensive teammates sprayed wide or had saved by Alleyne in the first three quarters.

Each early missed chance had given confidence to a Rutgers team that was overmatched on paper. The Scarlet Knights’ opener was Anthony Terranova cleaning up a messy rebound, and the second goal capitalized on a man-down breakaway. RU led, but tentatively.

By the second quarter, though, RU was popping the ball around the perimeter with authority, realizing the upset was becoming a reality.

“You see that we started turning the ball over on clears, making saves and turning it over, giving the ball right back to them and they’re scoring,” Marasco said. “Second-chance opportunities can’t happen. It definitely felt like Villanova all over again.”

But as seamlessly as Rutgers took control of the game, Syracuse tore it away. Paduda jammed up Nardella on faceoffs, long enough for wings Matt Harris and Steve Ianzito to sweep in and take the ball. SU won eight faceoffs, half of them in the fourth quarter.

The sudden injection of possession fed the starved offense, and it responded hungrily, finally devouring the chances it created on its rare possession earlier in the game.

The fight back was stunning. Rutgers had no response aside from a Terranova goal with 5:40 remaining. Maltz made it irrelevant, burying on the net-crashing cuts he’s famous for – once on a 10-yard dart down the right hashes and again on the busted-open last scramble with 10 seconds left.

The sloppy game Rutgers owned for three quarters could be forgotten for 15 minutes of Orange brilliance.

With 10 seconds left, Paduda crouched down for what he hoped was the last, game-killing faceoff to end an emotionally upside-down day.

Said Paduda in the postgame press conference of those last 10 seconds: “It felt like two quarters.” jmklinge@syr.edu @Jacob_Klinger_

SU routs Cincy with balanced scoring, clamp-down defense

By Melissa Bronson-Tramel STAFF WRITER

It took Cincinnati 29 minutes and 47 seconds to find the back of the net against Syracuse on Sunday.

In their last meeting, on April 22 of last season, the Bearcats whipped the ball into the back of the net in less than a minute.

This time, Cincinnati (6-7, 0-5 Big East) was SYRACUSE 19 overmatched against a No. 5 Syracuse (9-3, CINCINNATI 6 deep 5-0) team. The fast-paced offense and agile defense was too much for the small Bearcats to handle. Tying its season-high for goals in the 21-6 victory, Syracuse dominated the game from beginning to end with help from the freshman class.

“It’s nice to get those players that have been working hard all yearlong to get the opportunity to get out there and play,” head coach Gary Gait said.

Eight different Orange players scored against Louisville on Friday. Against Cincinnati on Sunday, nine found the back of the net before halftime.

Syracuse took out most of the starters for the beginning of the second half and the Bearcats tried to piece together a run. Cincinnati’s Megan Bell scored two back-to-back goals in 66 seconds, cutting the deficit to 11. Cincinnati junior Jennifer Walsh came up big with three saves early in the period to preserve the chance of a comeback.

But turnovers and careless passes killed the Bearcats. They had 23 turnovers at the end of regulation, 12 caused by the Syracuse defense.

Senior defender Becca Block only caused one

turnover, though she leads the team with 22 this season. This time, Block didn’t lead the team in caused turnovers, freshman Maddy Huegel did.

“I credit the starters for being focused and getting the job done so those opportunities were there for those players,” said Gait.

Huegel notched two caused turnovers and was one of SU’s 11 players to force a turnover.

The Orange’s stifling defense didn’t allow Cincinnati to get off a shot until nearly 11 minutes into the game. Goaltender Kelsey Richardson almost recorded Syracuse’s largest half-time shutout lead of the season until Cincinnati scored its first goal with 13 seconds remaining in the half.

“I really wanted the shutout,” said Richardson. “We came really close. It hit my stick and it just went in.”

Richardson ended the game with two saves and a near-perfect half, but credited the defense for almost 30 minutes of shut-out lacrosse, and the pace of the offense for putting the game away. The Syracuse offense clobbered the Bearcats, outshooting them 43-10.

“It was a solid team effort from top to bottom,” said Gait. “They stayed focused, were mentally prepared and played well.”

Senior attack Alyssa Murray said she was impressed watching from the sidelines, especially considering where the game fell in the schedule.

“I think we are very focused and we’ve really gotten into a groove,” Murray said. “This is when you really want to start peaking as a team and we are hitting that at the right time.” qsbronso@syr.edu

Marasco ignites Syracuse offense, leads comeback win over Rutgers

By David Wilson ASST. SPORTS EDITOR

JoJo Marasco was all smiles when he strolled into the interview room after his team’s breathtaking comeback victory. He joked with a reporter as he walked in and sat down at the interview table before any of his teammates even came into the room.

“We’ve got to stop making it so exciting,” he said, drawing laughs from the assembled reporters and cameramen.

But it couldn’t be any other way on the day celebrating the career of one of the most enigmatic players in Syracuse history.

Senior Day started with high hopes as SU prepared to face a two-win Rutgers team, but it quickly turned south with a five-goal deficit in the second half. It ultimately ended in remark-

GOOD

Syracuse for 15 minutes

The Orange won the fourth quarter 7-1, flat out disassembling the Rutgers defense. SU started the quarter trailing 10-5, but 8:40 into the period, it was 10-10. For that one quarter, Syracuse looked like the national title contender that it is. It was all they needed in the 12-11 win.

BAD

Rutgers

Despite leading for all but about 10 minutes, the Scarlet Knights played sloppy lacrosse. They dropped routine passes on the perimeter and struggled clearing.

It wasn’t until the fourth quarter, when SU truly showed up, that RU was really exposed, but it was really just good finishing and extra possessions that kept Rutgers in the lead for so long.

UGLY

Syracuse for three quarters

The Orange ceded possession at the faceoff X, and when it had the ball, it couldn’t finish. SU generated chances, but simply was not playing like a team vying for the national championship. For 45 minutes, Syracuse played down to its sloppy, two-win opposition.

able fashion as Marasco and the No. 7 Orange capped an astonishing comeback with a 12-11 victory over the Scarlet Knights on Saturday in the Carrier Dome.

When Marasco arrived at Syracuse, he earned a reputation as overconfident with his desire to immediately wear the prestigious No. 22 jersey. Instead, he was given No. 1.

He underachieved during his first year. He was the No. 5 prospect in the nation, but only played in 10 games as a freshman. He earned the No. 22 before his breakout sophomore campaign, but disappointed during Syracuse’s 9-8 season a year ago.

Now, there’s arguably no one in the country playing better.

“He’s not only a threat to go to the cage, but at any time, he can pass you the ball,” SU midfielder Luke Cometti said. “Once our offense realized that, that’s why guys are cutting, that’s why guys are getting open and that’s why he’s playing real well.”

Marasco has had perhaps his two finest performances in the last two games. On Wednesday, he outdueled Tewaaraton Trophy favorite Rob Pannell to upset No. 2 Cornell. On Saturday, he turned in five assists — including three during the fourth-quarter comeback — scored once and caused the biggest turnover of his career to shock the Scarlet Knights on Dome turf.

“You start thinking ahead and all the sudden, like you say, you look at Rutgers and go, ‘Wow,’” Syracuse head coach John Desko said.

“Now we’ve got to go to Georgetown on the road, we’re going to be in the Big City Classic for Notre Dame, and all the sudden those become almost must-wins.”

Marasco started the Orange’s late run the way most of it went: with a feed to Cometti.

A few smooth dodges bought him some time before he found the hulking midfielder with his back to the net for a quick turn-andshoot.

Two and a half minutes later, they connected again with more than 11 minutes remaining.

Syracuse fought back to tie it at 10 before midfielder Anthony Terranova pushed RU’s lead back to one. With two minutes remaining, Marasco tacked on his fifth and final assist on an equalizer by a cutting Derek Maltz.

“The whole game, we always know that if

spencer bodian | staff photographer JOJO MARASCO ignited the Orange’s fourth-quarter comeback, assisting on three goals in the fourth quarter. He also made a game-saving check with 15 seconds to play. we get the ball, then we think we’re going to score,” Marasco said. “So I think it really came together in the fourth quarter.”

A year ago, that unabashed confidence could have been mistaken for hubris. Marasco scored 12 goals and dished out just 19 assists.

He scored his 13th goal Saturday and his assist total climbed to 27. He never turned into the goal-scoring threat the Orange faithful hoped he would, but he’s become a well-rounded player instead.

It’s why the attacking midfielder sprinted back on defense in the waning moments of a tie game, ultimately chasing down RU’s Andrew Parrilla, whacking the ball out of his stick.

Syracuse defender Brian Megill scooped up the ground ball and raced the other way. Maltz scored the go-ahead goal.

“I just saw that their guy was breaking and I put my head down and tried to run there as fast as I could,” Marasco said.

The only No. 22 without a national title has felt the ire of Orange fans for three seasons.

Those criticisms are gone. SU is 9-2 and a real national championship threat.

On his wrist, he wears a bracelet with the word “BELIEVE” written in all caps.

He believes his offense can score at any time.

He believed he could catch Parrilla to force one

last turnover. Now, the Orange fans that have been critical of him during his time at Syracuse can believe in him.

“Even though it’s Senior Day,” Marasco said, “it’s more about the team.” dbwilson@syr.edu @DBWilson2

SU shows depth of talent in blowout win over Cincinnati

By Josh Hyber STAFF WRITER

Syracuse reserves kept coming and coming.

Rotating quickly, scoring goals, then letting someone else get the job done.

Nine non-starters scored goals for the No. 6 Orange (9-3, 5-0 Big East) on Sunday in its 21-6 win over the Cincinnati Bearcats (6-7, 0-5) in front of 198 spectators in the Carrier Dome. Fifteen different players scored for SU, including five who scored their first goals of the season. SU’s depth and sheer talent were too much for the Bearcats to handle.

“It definitely feels good because at practice, the starters encourage us and know what we’re capable of doing,” said attack Paige Savia. “It’s just an honor to be a part of other people who care about us and know we have the ability to do it.”

Savia, Ella Thorpe, Kristiana Ferguson, Vivian Curry and Loren Ziegler all scored their first goals of the season. For Ferguson and Curry, it was the first of their careers. Tori Praino and Taylor Nims both scored twice and now have three on the year.

SU head coach Gary Gait credited the starters for being focused on building a lead so other players could get opportunities. SU’s three leading goal-scorers, Alyssa Murray, Kayla Treanor and Michelle Tumolo, combined for five of the team’s first 12 goals.

Murray led SU with six points on the day with three goals and three assists.

“Opening up the game playing hard, everybody got an opportunity today, which was nice. I thought everybody played pretty well,” Gait said.

As the Orange extended its early lead from 5-0 to 9-0, Gait reached deeper and deeper into

interior ones — who can match up with Raymon’s size. Raymon is taller and heavier than each of the Orange’s interior linemen, and only one player on the entire team is bigger in either category. It means he can bully his opponent and wreak havoc on the opposite side of the line of scrimmage.

“He gets in the backfield tremendously well,” running back George Morris III said.

“He uses his power and he uses his strength, his raw strength, just to get back there and just make plays.”

But it’s not just a matter of raw size and strength for the defensive tackle, but how he uses his body. It’s not always conventional — that’s what Bromley means when he describes him as “creative” — but he manages to make it work, even if it’s not the best way technically.

Defensive line coach Tim Daoust is a stickler for the technical, but in Raymon’s case, Bromley said, he makes an exception. As long as he works hard and does damage in the backfield, Daoust lets the lack of technicality slide.

“I kind of just shed them,” Raymon said.

“Get off the ball faster than they can get up. If I get up faster than they can get up, I can throw them down and get in the backfield, and I love getting in the backfield. Because you can only make plays in the backfield and that’s how you

the bench. With just more than 10 minutes remaining in the first half, Praino, who has played in just three games this year and 20 in her four-year career, entered to loud cheers from her teammates. Moments later, Murray found Praino, who fired a shot past Bearcat goaltender Meg Gulmi.

Midfielder Kirkland Locey took more draws than she normally would. Locey finished with four draw controls, as did defender Maddy Huegel.

Normally stuck behind the lethal goaltender combination of Kelsey Richardson and Alyssa Costantino, Shannon Byrne saw game action for the second time in her career. In just less than six minutes, the freshman let in one goal.

At a point in the year when Syracuse has five games in 10 days, it was a nice rest for the big-minute players. For the starters, it was also nice to see teammates make plays.

“These girls come to practice every day, work hard and don’t get to play as much as (the starters) do sometimes because of tight games,” Murray said. “But when they get the opportunity, they want to be able to show what they have.

“Watching them put it in the back of the net or have their first assist or first point, ground ball, whatever it is, it’s really exciting for us because they’ve put the work in and it’s finally showing.”

On a team with as much talent as any in the country, it was different names on the score sheet that proved the difference for the Orange on Sunday.

“I think that was important to show some confidence in some of these other players,” Gait said. “Many of them will be the future.” jmhyber@syr.edu

“He gets in the backfield tremendously well. He uses his power and he uses his strength, his raw strength, just to get back there and just make plays.”

SYRACUSE RUNNING BACK

make your money.”

Though much of the Orange’s defense returns, there is a fair amount of turnover on the defensive line, particularly at the end position. Syracuse will count on Raymon to make his unusual style work alongside fellow tackle Bromley, and make up for the pressure lost a season ago.

Jaden is coming up for the spring game banquet, and Raymon’s parents will bring him to Syracuse for home games, but now, Raymon will be on the field, instead of watching with Jaden from the bleachers.

“I’m learning new things I didn’t know when I was back at Iowa,” Raymon said, “so I’m happy to be here.” dbwilson@syr.edu @DBWilson2

Paduda earns critical possessions; Palasek stifles RU in 4th

By Jacob Klinger and David Wilson THE DAILY ORANGE

During the early part of Syracuse’s dramatic comeback victory over Rutgers, Chris Daddio invoked memories of the Orange’s stunning loss at Villanova on March 23.

SU was playing on short rest against a team it shouldn’t have had a problem with, but just like against the Wildcats, Syracuse simply couldn’t get enough possessions on Saturday.

It wasn’t as much of a debacle as Daddio’s effort against VU faceoff specialist Thomas Croonquist, but from the beginning of Saturday’s contest, it was clear Daddio was again overmatched. So SU head coach John Desko turned to another option, searching for an answer.

In stepped Cal Paduda.

“He’s kind of a grinder and so am I. We’re both sort of old-school ground-ball guys,” Paduda said. “So it just happened to be a good matchup.”

Paduda won just 6-of-18 faceoffs, but it was a welcome improvement from Daddio’s early 2-for-8 struggle. More importantly, though, his style prevented RU midfielder Joseph Nardella from dominating the faceoff X the same way

Croonquist did. Paduda gave the Orange the chance it never had against Villanova as No. 7 SU came back for a 12-11 win over the Scarlet Knights in the Carrier Dome.

“I think Rutgers really didn’t have the ball that much in the fourth quarter,” Syracuse midfielder JoJo Marasco said. “If you’re constantly putting us on there and we’re scoring, we’re going to keep building confidence, and it showed.”

Paduda was intent on just pinning the ball down, keeping it at midfield as a scrum built around him and Nardella. He would leave the faceoff game to his wings.

Sometimes it worked, and he had his six faceoff wins to show for it, but most of the time, the Scarlet Knights came away with the ball — rarely cleanly, though. That meant it was a scramble and anyone’s ball, even after one team won. It helped lead to 21 RU turnovers and an abundance of Orange possessions in the fourth quarter.

It also meant that during the biggest faceoff of the game, after SU attack Derek Maltz tallied the go-ahead goal, Paduda could be the hero.

It was one of his 12 faceoff losses, but he kept it in the scrum for enough of the 10 seconds that

Syracuse needed to run out.

Paduda wasn’t flawless, but he did enough and the Orange held on for its ninth victory.

“Cal did a terrific job coming in,” Desko said, “gave us a spark and we got some different people in on the wings and changed how we were playing.”

Palasek steps up Down two with 9:14 to play, untested Ryan Palasek replaced Sean Young.

Both defenders are underclassmen, but Palasek had yet to play meaningful minutes. Young had started the last six games.

But needing to pressure Rutgers as Syracuse chased the game, Desko called on the inexperienced Palasek.

The change facilitated SU’s seven-goal fourth quarter, holding Rutgers to one goal and sending the Orange offense barreling toward Kris Alleyne’s goal.

“He’s a little bit of an old-school defender in this day and age of not making mistakes and closing the gate and not creating offense,” Desko said. “He gets in there and really gets in on his attackman’s hands and he was able to put the

coach Mike Miller.

Bono grew up a Syracuse fan. Just 20 minutes from campus, he followed the basketball team, was interested in the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications and was OK with staying close to home.

He wouldn’t have minded going to Syracuse, but it simply wasn’t his top choice. Big East teams such as St. John’s, Villanova and Georgetown were also in the mix. He was on the fence about Syracuse. It didn’t give him a chance to compete for a national championship. That was his top priority.

“Off the bat, of course you say, ‘3-12,’” Bono said. “You almost write it off completely, wanting to win.”

Stamoulacatos, his Empire Evolution teammate at the time, bugged him nonstop, imploring him to commit to SU. Stamoulacatos had already committed to Syracuse a few months earlier and knew he and Bono could help turn the program around.

And that’s exactly what they did.

Bono waffled for a while, but eventually, as seventh-period Algebra II-Trigonometry rolled along, he decided to stay close to home. Now, he said, he doesn’t regret the decision at all and couldn’t be happier.

One main reason why Bono, Stamoulacatos and Ramin all chose to play for Syracuse was because of Masalin and the rapport they cultivated at Empire Evolution, an affiliate of Major League Soccer’s New England Revolution. Empire Evolution comprises the most talented, budding stars from Syracuse, Rochester and Buffalo.

“You’re thinking, ‘We’re just an Upstate New York small club,’ but ultimately, little Mickey Mouse as we are, compared to some big (New York) Red Bulls or (Philadelphia) Unions, we’ve got some good players,” Masalin said, referring to the MLS teams.

Masalin coached all three players for their final two seasons with Empire. A standout goalie himself, Masalin helped Bono hone his goalkeeping techniques and worked to morph him from a good goalie to a great one.

“Our philosophy from day one from our coaching staff was to ensure that we had a

ball down on the ground, which we needed at that point in time. I thought that he kind of gave us a defensive spark.”

On his first play, Palasek forced a turnover from Anthony Terranova. And with the game tied with less than two minutes left, he checked the stick out of Scott Bieda’s hand, setting up Syracuse’s last half-field possession.

“Palasek coming in there, he’s a solid defenseman,” Marasco said. “He’s young, but he made a great play and we get the ball and go down and score, so it’s great team unity.

These guys are just showing why we can be a top-five team.”

Palasek’s substitution was a part of a wider, late-game defensive adjustment matching Syracuse’s short-stick defensive midfielders against RU’s attacking midfielders and denying clearing midfielders. Desko said it’s where most of SU’s offense was generated.

Eight of Rutgers’ 21 turnovers came in the fourth quarter.

Said Desko: “We had to create those turnovers or we were going to lose the game.” jmklinge@syr.edu dbwilson@syr.edu

chance to keep the best local talent home,” McIntyre said. “ … It sounds a lot easier than it actually is.”

After last year’s impressive run, Syracuse has scored another local recruit in Mike Koegel.

He committed to Syracuse in January and was rated the No. 3 prospect in New York state

by TopDrawerSoccer.com. Koegel played with Bono, Stamoulacatos and Ramin, and was coached by Masalin with Empire Evolution for two years. McIntyre said he was invested in Syracuse from the get-go.

He went down to watch SU play Georgetown last season, and even graduated from Chittenango (N.Y.) High School a semester early to join the Orange. This spring, he has practiced with the team and gotten a feel for college soccer a few months early.

Syracuse’s recruiting is on the rise, and Bono, Stamoulacatos and company played a massive role in helping turn the program around.

“If you’ve made it into the top 16 teams in the country and you’re in the (Atlantic Coast Conference), you’re going to be pretty attractive,” Masalin said. “If you’re not, I think there’s something wrong with it.”

But the coaching staff still couldn’t reel in five-star recruit Jordan Allen, the No. 4 prospect in the ESPNHS 150 in the Class of 2013.

Allen, a Rochester native and member of the U.S. national team, chose Virginia – a proven program that perennially makes the NCAA tournament – instead. The Cavaliers won it all back in 2009 and boast a reputation that Syracuse aspires to achieve.

Last season’s surprising surge was an enormous step in the right direction, but there’s still a lot more work to be done, Masalin said.

Syracuse will likely play Virginia next season and go up against Allen.

Allen is the exception, though, not the norm.

Not anymore, at least. With Bono and Stamoulacatos as cornerstones, the coaching staff thinks it can continue to attract local players as the team becomes a national powerhouse.

“We were fortunate to have Stefanos and Alex and Ben coming through the ranks at the right time,” McIntyre said. “I think the future’s very bright for our program.” tbhass@syr.edu @TrevorHass

Raymon adds new force to defensive line

By David Wilson ASST. SPORTS EDITOR

sam maller | asst. photo editor IAN MCINTYRE , head coach of the Syracuse men’s soccer team, has changed the culture of SU’s program by hauling in local recruits who ranked among the best in New York state. SU reached the Sweet 16 of the NCAA tournament last year after going 3-12-1 the season before.

lex Bono was sitting in Elizabeth Fox’s seventh-period Algebra II-Trigonometry class in February 2011, his junior year of high school.

He had been texting and calling his dad all day. It was finally time to make a decision.

“Whatever you want to do,” his father, Mark, said. “This is your choice.”

“OK, call up the staff and tell them I committed,” Bono said.

Bono was a part of a loaded trio of locally groomed players with Stefanos Stamoulacatos and Ben

Ramin. SU and Empire Evolution assistant coach Jukka Masalin has watched all three play since he joined Syracuse head coach Ian McIntyre in switching from Hartwick College to Syracuse in 2010.

Despite a miserable 3-12-1 record in 2011, Masalin and company were able to lure in prime local talent.

After earning a trip to the Sweet 16, Bono believes Syracuse is on the

rise and that recruiting will continue to improve.

“Now I think that when people think of Syracuse they’re like, ‘OK, Sweet 16 last year. They’ve got a strong team, a lot of good players and they’re really on the rise,’” Bono said.

But when asked if Syracuse was his top choice all along, Bono didn’t hesitate.

“Definitely not,” he said.

Bono, a Baldwinsville, N.Y., native, was rated the No. 1 recruit in New York state by TopDrawerSoccer.com. ESPN Rise dubbed him the sixth best goalie in the country.

He expected offers from his top choices such as Notre Dame and North Carolina, but they never came. Bono quickly realized that top-tier schools only reach out to top-five players.

Crushed by the twist in his trajectory, Bono was worried his recruitment would be a tedious and painfully slow process. The first day coaches could email recruits, though, Bono got an email from Syracuse assistant

The first thing that stands out about John Raymon is his size. As he stands with his arm around Jay Bromley in the Hall of Fame Lobby in the Iocolano-Petty Football Wing, he makes even his interior linemate look small.

Raymon worked with the scout team, but watched from the stands during his first season at Syracuse a year ago. Still, his massive 6-foot-5, 319-pound frame and year of experience at Iowa is intriguing. He has the potential — and pedigree — to become a staple of the Orange’s defensive line.

“Just a lot of explosion, a lot of creativity and just a big body that wants to go forward,” Bromley said.

“We both have a lot of things to work on, like fundamentals, but as far as getting penetration, he can do that.

Hands down.”

This season, Raymon steps in to that spot in the heart of the SU defense. After a year of learning as a redshirt following his transfer from Iowa, Raymon has a chance to showcase just what that body can do on the football field as the frontrunner for the starting defensive tackle job alongside Bromley.

Raymon nearly had a chance to get started with Syracuse last season.

The ruling that he had to sit out a year after transferring came down late.

Instead, he toiled away on the scout team, taking a year to adjust to the new program and school.

Raymon left Iowa just a month and a half into his freshman season.

He admits now that he was too far from home and just not ready for a Big Ten school.

“I wasn’t ready,” Raymon said.

“Football-wise, I couldn’t balance out football and academics.”

So the year to adjust at SU was a plus. He didn’t travel so he could go to recitations and never had to miss class. He got to go home on weekends to see his newborn son, Jaden, who was born while he was at Iowa.

It also gave him a season to adjust on the football field. There are few offensive linemen — especially
