t’s a fresh start for the Student Association.

President Allie Curtis and Vice President Duane Ford say they’re going to accomplish set initiatives to help the student body. Now that Curtis is halfway through her tenure as president, she and the organization plan to move on from the events of last semester, which saw a six-hour executive session to vote for charging Curtis with impeachment. And despite eight of the 11 cabinet members leaving earlier than expected, they say the organization will move forward with energized new members.

“I have a very positive outlook on this semester,” Curtis said.

Specifically, Curtis said she’s looking forward to carrying on with Impact

crime briefs Wednesday, Aug. 21: Two cars, including a Syracuse University student’s, were broken into near the 900 and 1000 blocks of Lancaster Avenue, according to police reports.

The thief smashed into the back passenger-side window of the student’s 1997 Mitsubishi Galant parked in a driveway on Terrace Road. A blue duffel bag with clothes was taken from the vehicle.

Another back passenger-side window was smashed on a 2003 Chevrolet Silverado, also on Terrace Road. The person stole a white Xbox 360 and a few controllers, according to a police report. Police suspect surrounding rocks were used to break the window.

Friday, Aug. 23: Two subwoofers, which cost about $990 each, were stolen during a burglary at Sigma Phi Epsilon, according to a police report. A fraternity representative said in the report that the subwoofers were taken between 3 a.m. and 9 a.m. on Friday. The burglars opened two basement windows and cut the screen on one and removed the other.

The representative said in the report he found a door propped open.

Though the subwoofers had wheels on them, they were “quite heavy” and would’ve taken two people to carry them upstairs, he said in the report.

Police also issued an unrelated appearance ticket to a Syracuse man for sound reproduction on the 800 block of Sumner Avenue, according to a police report.

Sunday, Aug. 25: The Syracuse Police Department issued five appearance tickets Sunday — at least three to SU students — for underage drinking at a large party on the 1000 block of Harrison Street.

SPD Sgt. Gary Bulinski said several police cars got to the street at shortly after 12:30 a.m., and saw a large group of people blocking traffic.

The crowd was compliant, he said, and police issued five appearance tickets for underage drinking. He said SPD closed the street briefly for the safety of drivers and the crowd, and left at about 1:20 a.m.

Police reports from the John C. Dillon Public Safety Building show a freshman in the School of Education with an appearance ticket while holding a Labatt Blue Light. Another freshman in the School of Education had a ticket for having a Natural Light, and police ticketed a freshman in the College of Arts and Sciences who was holding a Keystone Light.

“Fortunately, it was pretty quiet,” he said of the rest of the night around campus. “There was the party, but even that was minor in nature,” Bulinski said.

Additional Macklemore tickets to go on sale

By Sarah Schuster Staff Writer

Tickets to see rapper and producer duo Macklemore and Ryan Lewis in the Carrier Dome will go on sale for the second time starting Monday at 11 a.m.

The concert is scheduled for Nov. 11 in the Dome, where doors will open at 6:30 p.m., and the show is scheduled to start at 7:30 p.m. Tickets, which were first available to students in June, can

be purchased online and at the Schine Box Office for $15.

This is the second time tickets for the concert are on sale. University Union announced this was to give freshmen a chance to purchase floor and first-level reserved seating.

“Given the strong numbers so far, we think these tickets will sell well this week,” said Kelly Benini, director of concerts at UU.

Macklemore and Ryan Lewis debuted their first full-length album “The Heist” in October, which included tracks like “Thrift Shop” and “Can’t Hold Us.” The show is a stop on the duo’s fall tour, making this show the first time UU has brought a world tour through Syracuse.

Sadler Dining Hall increases in capacity, food selection

By Sam Blum Staff Writer

Sadler Dining Hall reopened its doors this semester with a new look following a full-scale summer renovation.

The expansion was made in response to the west side of campus’ population growth. Sadler Dining Hall will feed residents of Lawrinson Hall, The State University of New

York College of Environmental Science and Forestry, the new Dineen Hall, Campus West apartments and Sadler Hall.

The decision for improvements was revealed in March. After adding 150 seats, it will now be able to hold 470 patrons. Previously it could only accommodate 320, Lynne Mowers, secretary to the director of food ser-

vices, said in an email.

The increased seating will create a lot more space for the approximately combined 1,400 students that live in Sadler, Lawrinson and ESF residence halls, according to the Syracuse University and ESF websites.

Another noticeable difference is Sadler’s increased commitment to sustainable practices. Sadler is now

a tray-less dining hall and has also incorporated reusable cloth napkins.

The school also implemented a green roof that will manage rainwater runoff more effectively, Mowers said.

“We’ve gotten a lot of positive feedback from customers so far on the changes in Sadler,” Mowers said.

“We’re happy to have been able to

Curtis should take responsibilities more seriously after cabinet departures EDITORIAL by the daily orange editorial board Four additional members have resigned from Student Association President Allie Curtis’ cabinet. This means 73 percent, or eight out of 11 cabinet members, will have departed by September. This includes a member who plans to run for a different cabinet position when her term expires in September.

Some of these members left at the start of the summer. These positions should have been filled during SA’s vacation period so they could get up to speed and plan for the fall semester.

This semester is Curtis’ chance to f lex her muscles as the leader of SA. The empty positions must be filled within the next two weeks so SA can start focusing on promoting change at the university.

When choosing her cabinet, Curtis should consider applicants with past experience and involvement with SA. She should also

remember that the new cabinet members won’t be able to accomplish sweeping change in one semester.

But Curtis should not allow this to hinder the association’s potential accomplishments. This application process could be an opportunity to welcome new faces and provide a fresh perspective to SA. Curtis should also take advantage of the SA-SGA Alumni Organization, which documents the past sessions of SA. It works to maintain institutional memory to help current officers.

Curtis should consider how SA has overcome struggles in past sessions. During the 40th Session, only three assembly members and about a dozen officers returned. The assembly mostly consisted of freshmen, with more than 60 voting representatives.

However, it was very effective, according to SA-SGA Alumni Organization founder and co-chair, Jonathan Taylor.

With additional resignations, Curtis has more responsibilities. One thing she must do this semester is look beyond the tumultuous nature of last semester. The last half of her term, after all, could be her legacy.

Women remain outsiders in movie industry

T

he female takeover of Hollywood is a myth. Women aren’t taking over Hollywood.

As long as people view women in film as “taking over,” as “trendy,” and as separate from male entertainers, it will keep female filmmakers in a box, in which they can’t break out.

In 2012, women made up only 18 percent of producers, directors, writers, editors and cinematographers in the top 250 domestic grossing films.

But critics consistently say there is an abundance of strong female characters in network prime time, such as Leslie Knope, Mindy Lahiri and Olivia Pope.

Actually, none of 2012’s top five shows in prime time featured a woman in a lead role.

I find it incredibly disturbing that the first woman to win Best Director at the Academy Awards did so in 2010.

Recently, writer, director and actress Lake Bell was called “almost a real director” by someone working at the August premiere of her film, “In a World”.

Bell bravely graced this past week’s cover of New York magazine, where she wore nothing but tattoos, about the time of the release of “In a World.” She visually addressed how women are viewed inside and out of the film industry.

“In a World” won the Best Screenwriting prize at Sundance Film Festival. It revolves around the unique world of voice-over work. “The thing about voice-overs,” Bell said, “It is ostensibly the blind voice, the disembodied voice. You really can play anyone, you can be any gender, and you can be any nationality.”

This reflects Bell’s frustration of being a female in the industry.

Women are so heavily judged on the way they look that it can have unrelenting control on their careers.

Another filmmaker had the same frustrations. Brit Marling recently co-wrote “The East,” released in June. She started as an actress and was only being offered roles as the News Editor Editorial Editor Sports Editor Feature Editor Presentation Director Photo Editor Art Director Copy Chief Social Media Producer Video Editor Web Developer Asst.

living vicariously through you blonde in horror movies. Marling discovered if she wanted a good role, she was going to have to write it.

And she did so with many other projects like the Alfred P. Sloan prizewinning film, “Another Earth.”

It’s great that women are able to crack the celluloid ceiling and slowly edge their way into the entertainment industry. I applaud women who take matters in their own hands.

However, women are limited by the fact that they have to create the characters they want to play.

It proves that it’s not the norm for women to be portrayed as smart, sane and independent.

If we didn’t have wonderful female writers like Tina Fey, Nora Ephron and Elizabeth Merriweather to blaze trails, smart, empowered women would be completely invisible on screen and behind the scenes.

As one of my female mentors in the television industry has told me, “If you’re a young woman, men, especially older men, see you as a little girl, even if you’re their superior.”

In this industry and many others, women are viewed as outsiders.

We should encourage one another to join in. Women are told it’s unrealistic to be ambitious and join this competitive industry. It’s so problematic.

It’s what makes strong women seem like a fad or a subjective trend in film and TV. How about normal women from all walks of life being equally represented both on and off-screen?

These changes followed a smaller-scale upgrade last summer, when the residence hall renovated the bathrooms, making them singleoccupant restrooms.

Along with seating expansion, the renovation also made the dining hall accessible with an elevator and a ramp entrance.

“New areas were added including cookedto-order stations, deli, expanded Sbarro and

salad bar areas, as well as a gluten-free area,” Mowers said. “We can now cook to order a larger variety of foods including stir fry, pasta, and grilled foods. Italian entrées are now available in the Sbarro pizza area. Another soft serve machine was added to expand the dessert options.”

SU Marching Band receives updated uniforms for ACC debut

By Alfred Ng Asst. News Editor

This fall the Syracuse University Marching Band will walk into the Carrier Dome in new uniforms, the first update to their appearance in 15 years.

The new uniforms are funded by the “A New Look for a New Era” campaign, which raised $150,000 since it first launched in January this year, according to an Aug. 13 press release. The uniforms will debut Oct. 5, at the Orange’s first Atlantic Coast Conference home game against Clemson University, according to the release.

“We are thrilled and humbled at the overwhelming response from friends, fans and alumni that made this a reality,” said SUMB director Justin Mertz in the press release. “SU’s athletic bands are the authentic sound of college sports, and now we’ll really look the part.”

The fundraiser had reached half its goal after the Harry T. Mangurian Jr. Foundation initially donated $75,000, facilitated by SU alumna Terry Skuse, a 1975 graduate. Thirty-six donors, who’ve donated more than $500 to the campaign, are each having a patch with their names sewn onto a uniform in thanks for their generosity, according to the release.

The updated look is a complete change from the previous uniforms, with new color schemes and designs. The school’s block “S” logo is now the focus of the back of the new uniforms, and the uniforms are in SU’s orange and navy colors. The old uniform’s sash across the front is also now gone.

For marching band members, the new uniforms could not have arrived soon enough.

SUMB clarinet player Andrew Fielding said he prefers the new colors to the former white uniforms because the old colors would quickly get dirty.

“The old uniforms were uncomfortable and the look was dated,” said Fielding, a junior art history major. “It was too tight for my neck. I like the new uniforms a lot.”

The band purchased 300 uniforms, which were manufactured by DeMoulin Bros. and Co. in the United States, according to the release. Although the band has approximately 200 members, it ordered several extra uniforms to accommodate different sizes and increase in band membership, according to the release.

Each uniform is made from 100 percent recycled material, according to the release.

Marching Band Member Patrice Gonzales said she thinks the old uniforms will also be recycled and turned into backpacks.

The new look comes with a new fit, with each uniform being tailored to each member’s measurements, said Shane Stone, a junior clarinet player with the SUMB. The uniforms won’t be the only new thing during SU’s ACC debut, said SUMB member Nicole Cataldo.

“We’re changing some stuff around with our show and it’ll be a surprise when we show up with the new uniforms,” she said. alng@syr.edu

Comptroller to propose ideas for improving fiscal training sessions

By Dylan Segelbaum

about the people on the committee.

Asst. Copy Editor

When Stephen DeSalvo leaves office after his fourth semester as Student Association comptroller, he wants to ensure the practices he’s put into place to protect student money aren’t forgotten.

He plans to introduce several measures during the second half of the 57th Session. These include a task force to improve SA’s financial training sessions, a bill to limit abuses of miscellaneous money and an additional bill to establish rules about donations.

“Going into a second term, at the very best now you know the job, you know the role, you know the student groups involved and the process,” he said.

Fiscal training task force: Each semester, the comptroller holds several sessions to help people in student organizations understand how to submit their budgets. It’s mandatory to attend a session to apply for money.

To improve these sessions, DeSalvo said, he sent an email to every registered student organization in July about forming a task force.

More than 20 people responded.

The group will meet several times during the first few weeks of classes, and the recommendations students make during these sessions will be used to help improve fiscal training.

“Not only are they going to bring up misunderstandings and issues (with the fiscal training sessions), they’re going to be the ones to come up with solutions,” DeSalvo said

Miscellaneous money: When a student organization holds an event and sells tickets, the money goes into a miscellaneous account in that group’s name. Only that group can use the money — with the comptroller’s approval — and the funds don’t roll over after the spring semester.

Money in these accounts isn’t from the student activity fee, he said, but the money often comes from students buying tickets to events.

DeSalvo said he stated what this money can be used for during the beginning of last semester, but wants to put this policy in the codes to prevent future misuses of money.

“It’s just the right thing to do,” he said. “Something needs to be done to protect student money.”

Donation policy: DeSalvo said he’s also looking to make groups accountable for making the decision to donate money — before it’s collected from students.

Right now, money from a group’s miscellaneous account can be donated, and many times it is to local and national charities.

With this bill, organizations would have to specify where they intended to donate money from an event before it’s held. The requirement makes it easier for SA to keep track of money that’s intended to be donated, he said, and helps the university for accounting reasons.

He said this isn’t to mandate where money can be donated, just to hold organizations accountable. dmsegelb@syr.edu

ESF students to mentor middle schoolers to spark enthusiasm for science

By Emma Wozny

S

Staff Writer

UNY-ESF will become one of six universities involved in the Afterschool STEM Mentoring Program, pairing graduate students with middle school students to increase interest and knowledge in science among young children.

The school will join five other State University of New York schools to expand the joint project between SUNY and the New York Academy of Sciences. It will be funded by a $2.95 million grant from the National Science Foundation, according to an Aug. 8 SUNY-ESF press release.

The mentoring program recruits graduate students and postdoctoral fellows who serve as educators and role models to the middle school students, according to the release. After a semester with the program, the mentors are eligible for an Academy Fellow Teaching Credential.

Ellis Rubinstein, president and CEO of the New York Academy of Sciences, said the program will benefit both mentors and students.

“The Afterschool STEM Mentoring Program is an elegant solution to two complex problems,” Rubinstein said in the press release. “First, it engages students from low-resource settings in STEM subjects; second, it provides STEM graduate students and post-docs with opportunities to hone their communication and teaching skills.”

It will run from the first week of October until late December and focuses on fourth graders through eighth graders. It uses classrooms at organizations such as the YMCA and the Boys and Girls Clubs, according to the New York Academy of Sciences website.

The two-month program is a joint project between the State University of New York and the New York Academy of Sciences, an independent, nonprofit organization with a core mission of advancing science and technology.

Training for the mentors begins in Septem-

ber and takes two days, according to the New York Academy of Sciences website.

One day is spent on training the mentors in teaching their chosen topics, and the other on youth development.

The mentors choose from a variety of subjects to teach, including genetics, space science, math and human body systems. They are assigned to a site, preferably within a half-hour of their homes or labs, and paired with a co-teacher, according to the New York Academy of Science’s website.

The after-school classes are once a week from 4-6 p.m. and are intended to help students graduate from high school while preparing them for college, according to a SUNY-ESF press release.

Mentors are critical for student success, and the program will benefit society at large, Dr. Meghan Groome, executive director of education and public programs at the New York Academy of Sciences, said in a SUNY press release.

Said Groome: “Research continues to show that role models are vital in helping kids become the next generation of scientists and STEM-literate citizens.” ecwozny@syr.edu

Week, addressing student tuition and focusing on retention within SA. She also said she intends to use feedback from last semester to improve her leadership style.

For example, she now copies Vice President Duane Ford to all cabinet application emails.

“I’m not just the sole communicator amongst all of us,” she said.

She’s also learned to be thorough, she said, adding that business gets done by putting things on a calendar. “You have to take things a step at a time,” Curtis said. “I think people frequently get too far ahead of themselves.”

Ford is also working on projects.

He mostly devoted his summer to working with the Office of Government and Community Relations in an effort to outfit Euclid Avenue with trash cans. Someone from the university approached Ford with the idea.

Ford signed on because he saw the need for SA to help off-campus students and clean up the surrounding area.

He also referenced criticism from the student body in the spring that the organization had not lived up to expectations of working for students. He said SA did manage to better the campus community. The organization constantly works behind the scenes to better university life, but Ford said the trash cans will serve as a reminder of that presence.

“That’s a physical, very tangible change on campus, that you will see,” Ford said, stressing that conversations are ongoing and he is still working with the university to establish SA’s role in the process.

As of now, Ford said, they’re planning on launching 12 trash cans at first and assessing how they withstand Syracuse’s winter and other wear-and-tears.

Last semester, the Student Engagement Committee also managed to set up a comment box in the Schine Student Center and introduce a new smartphone and website application that can garner student feedback. Ford also said that issues last semester “gave us [SA] more drive” and caused those within the organization to grow closer.

Regarding the high turnover of cabinet members, Ford said incoming officers will naturally face a learning curve but described the situation as “a little bit of a blessing in disguise.” The vacancies will allow others heavily involved in the organization to step into larger roles.

back to t he f u t ur e Comptroller Stephen DeSalvo appeared to share this view, saying the semester will be interesting with SA losing a significant portion of its officers.

He also said this isn’t necessarily a huge problem, since newer members will be able to move up. He said the dynamic will be interesting.

DeSalvo also spoke positively of Curtis, saying he thinks she will lead “like we’ve never seen her lead before.”

Jonathan Taylor, one of the founders and cochair of the Student Association & Student Government Association Alumni Organization, said he would argue, “with the beginning of the new semester, even though it’s the same session, in the eyes of the president you have a clean start.”

The organization’s purpose is to document the history of SA going forward, and to try to maintain institutional memory to benefit current officers in the association. The SA/ SGA Alumni Organization also documents the main accomplishments of each semester and tracks changes to the SA constitution.

He said since the SA constitution was rewritten in 1998, establishing the modern office of the president, the position has remained stable — unlike the speaker position. This has allowed for “continuity of leadership.”

Taylor was a School of Architecture representative in the student assembly for six legislative sessions and held other positions such as parliamentarian and speaker of the assembly, the equivalent of president today.

After the 39th Session — the first he served in — only three members of the assembly and about a dozen officers came back, he said. The assembly was mostly made up of freshmen, with more than 60 voting representatives, he said, but it was also very effective.

Taylor said he made it a goal to make sure retention was better, and next session most returned.

By changing the timing of the session to the calendar year, this has also helped the president, Taylor said, because cabinet and assembly also have existed during the summer.

He said the challenge for any president is to moderate discussion in the student assembly.

Members of the assembly have items they want to accomplish, and the president does as well.

“They have to come up with a way to work together,” he said, stressing that he was speaking in general terms and not specifically about the current session. dmsegelb@syr.edu @ dylan_segelbaum dbtruong@syr.edu @ debbietruong

cabinet from page 1

A fifth cabinet member, Board of Elections and Membership Chair Emily Ballard, is leaving when her term expires in September, though she’s planning on running for a different cabinet position.

These changes mean eight out of 11 original cabinet members — not including the president and vice president — will have left by September. That’s about 73 percent.

“I’m not too worried about people coming (into cabinet),” Curtis said. “It’s exciting to see these applications going in,” adding that remaining members are prepared to carry on with initiatives the committee chairs were formerly working on.

“I’m not too worried about people coming (into cabinet). It’s exciting to see these applications going in.”

Allie Curtis

SA president

The resignations follow a semester that included a marathon six-hour executive session to vote on Curtis’ impeachment, after it was revealed SA’s director of public relations was not enrolled at Syracuse University. The assembly ended up voting against impeachment.

Rosales said in an interview the first half of the session played a role in his resignation.

There’s been a “shift” in the student assembly. It’s hard to explain, he said, but this led him to believe it was time for someone else to step in as Student Life Committee chair.

“I just did not think that I would be able to lead (the committee) to the best of my ability,” he said.

He appeared to echo this in his letter of resignation to SA members, which The Daily Orange obtained, writing: “I no longer feel that the Student Association is the best place for me nor am I the best fit for it.”

The time commitment and his involvement with other activities on campus also played into the decision, he said.

investigated Rosales for leaking information to The Daily Orange in an anonymous email back in March. He later sent an email to SA members apologizing, which didn’t seem to indicate he planned on resigning.

Rosales said he had no intention of leaving when he sent the apology, and would continue to work on projects he started in the committee.

The No. 1 priority, he said, is helping students. Returning as an assembly representative in the future isn’t out of the question either, Rosales said.

The reasons behind Folsom’s departure are unclear. She did not respond to two email requests for an interview.

Choi didn’t respond to an email request for an interview.

Both Savage and Ballard said their departures aren’t related to the events of last semester.

Rather, Savage said, she resigned solely because of a work opportunity, adding she was planning SA’s week of community service when the position opened up.

Due to privacy concerns and the sensitive nature of the work, she asked that her title not be named.

With this opportunity, Savage said, she felt she could also no longer fulfill her duties as chair of the Student Engagement Committee.

“It was a very difficult decision,” she said.

Savage said she’s confident the organization’s newer members will be able to take over.

Ballard said she’s leaving in September in order to get the term for Board of Elections and Membership chair “back on track.”

The term is supposed to coincide with the academic year, she said. But more recently, the chair has served for the length of the session, like most cabinet positions.

Once her term expires, Ballard said, she plans to run for chair of the Judicial Review Board — the cabinet position Folsom left open with her departure— and hopes the board will be full come SA elections in November.

Last semester pushed members to start getting work done in their committees, she said, and SA will likely fill the vacant cabinet positions during the first few meetings of the semester.

“Even though there are a lot of new people and a lot of switching over,” Ballard said, “I think it’ll end up being very strong.” dmsegelb@syr.edu @ dylan_segelbaum dbtruong@syr.edu @ debbietruong

HBO honors late SU alumnus, pioneer sportscaster Marty Glickman at documentary premiere

Glickman is credited with creating terminology still used today in play-by-play announcing, specifically with basketball and football.

By Joe Infantino ASST. FEATURE EDITOR

EW YORK — Key. Lane. Swish. Three words that changed the history of sports broadcasting. Three words that solidified Marty Glickman’s legacy as a sportscaster.

His innovation, that unmistakable New York twang in his voice and his command over the airwaves made people want to be like Glickman.

“I walked like him, talked like him, broadcast like him,” said Marv Albert, a Syracuse University alumnus and play-by-play announcer for “The NFL on CBS.” The S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications partnered with HBO on Saturday to present an advance screening of “Glickman,” a documentary by James L. Freedman celebrating the life and career of the late 1939 alumnus.

The documentary honoring Glickman, who died in 2001 at age 83, premieres at 9 p.m. Monday on HBO. The film is, in part, a coming-of-age story that follows a young Jewish-American athlete who flourishes in the face of discrimination and is unexpectedly thrust into a career that he would grow to love.

Injected with confidence after beating the then-world record holder in the 60-meter track event, Glickman tried out for the 1936 Olympic team as a freshman at SU. He made it. But on the day of his first race in the 4x100-meter relay, Glickman was replaced

by Jesse Owens, the fastest man in the world at the time and a four-time gold medalist in the Berlin Games. Glickman later described his replacement as the result of anti-Semitism and an attempt to appease Adolf Hitler. Glickman was one of two Jewish athletes who were replaced on the U.S. team.

At the time, he shrugged it off because he still had football back in Syracuse.

Weeks later, after a standout performance in the old Archbold Stadium, he was approached by a local radio station and asked to do a segment on the air. Doubtful of himself, Glickman was hesitant to agree. That was until he learned he was going to make $15 — but he was no less nervous.

“It was 9:15 that night,” he recalled in an archived interview in the documentary, “and my first words were, ‘Good afternoon everybody.’”

From that first mistake, he went on to

become the first voice of basketball, narrate Paramount newsreels and call the play-by-play for both the New York Giants and the New York Jets. He also became the first person to be on the air at HBO and eventually became the announcer coach at NBC. Glickman’s colorful descriptions of the action taking place on the court and the field put listeners inside the game.

“I strove to create a word picture that the listener could see in the mind’s eye,” he wrote in his 1996 autobiography, “The Fastest Kid on the Block.”

According to the documentary, Glickman never used “$25 words.” Instead, he made the game easy to understand, describing exactly what was happening. And in doing so, he coined terms like “swish” and created other terminology that laid out the geography of the court, making it easy for listeners to imagine the scene in a time when TV was much less prevalent.

Later in his life, Glickman became equalpart teacher and announcer. He often mentored young, aspiring sportscasters, like Marv Albert, who was his first protégé. He also coached Gayle Sierens, the first woman to call

play-by-play in the NFL. Then there was Bob Costas, and even Freedman. Though he never pursued a career in broadcast, Freedman produced one of Glickman’s first radio shows. To him, Glickman gave a sense of professional confidence, Freedman said. And under Glickman’s guidance, Costas honed his famous TV style.

“There have been times during the Olympics when I have relied more on craftsmanship than I did on a visceral feeling,” Costas said. “Marty was so perceptive and picked up on that and said, ‘I want to feel your heart more; I want to see you smile more.’ He was right.”

In addition to Saturday’s advance screening, Dean Lorraine Branham debuted the Newhouse Sports Media Center and introduced its director, John Nicholson. Then Costas — another SU alumnus — was honored as the first recipient of a new award in Glickman’s name.

The Marty Glickman Award for Leadership in Sports Media — or “the Marty” — is to be given annually to the person who demonstrates great prowess and integrity in sports reporting, qualities both Glickman and Costas have shown: Costas as a 19-time Emmy Award winner and Glickman during his nearly 70-year-

long career. “[Marty] really was the beginning of Newhouse sports journalism,” Branham said.

Costas, currently the host of NBC’s “Football Night in America” and the prime time host of NBC’s Olympic Games coverage, was the obvious choice to be given the first ever “Marty” Award, said Albert, who considers Costas the best sports host of all time.

In his acceptance speech, Costas credited his success at coaching to both Glickman and SU. “This [award] represents my university, my profession, and it represents one of the most cherished friendships of my life because of how good Marty was to me, as he was to so many,” Costas said. “This represents a good portion of my life, and therefore is one of the great honors of my life.”

Though heavily featured at the event, Costas and Albert weren’t the only alumni present.

Other successful sports reporters like Mike Tirico and Pete Thamel attended to support the Newhouse Sports Media Center, which will represent a network of alumni for graduates of the school’s Sports Communications Emphasis.

Said Nicholson: “This was a long time coming, but has really existed since the beginning because of all of the big names associated with the school.” jtinfant@syr.edu @joeinfantino

You’ve probably said it before, but this time you’ll mean it: This is the year you’re going to get organized. No more scribbling assignments on your hand or digging for syllabi crumpled at the bottom of your backpack.

Organization is tough. But if wall calendars and color-coded subject folders aren’t your thing, don’t throw your hands up yet. If you have a smartphone, you have a whole host of tools at your disposal to make the scary business of getting organized a little more manageable. One of the best tools available is the top-rated, recently updated Android application, Timetable.

Timetable, available for free from Google Play, offers students a simple way to keep track of courses and assignments.

From a centralized dashboard, users start out by entering their courses, called “lessons,” into the app, including details such as location, time, teacher and subject. From there, students can add tasks or exams for each lesson with due dates and details about the assignment or test.

Lessons are displayed as colored modules on a daily or weekly calendar.

The calendar is useful, but the real utility of the app comes into play when changing the default settings to allow notifications and auto-muting.

Timetable automatically silences your phone during scheduled lesson times. Never again will you slink down in your chair and pretend you have no clue whose One Direction ringtone interrupted your shorttempered professor mid-lecture.

For those who want more information right on their home screens, Timetable offers push notifications about upcoming deadlines, as well as widgets with details about the day’s lessons or tasks.

Timetable’s user interface is clean, intuitive and highly customizable. Users have a choice of color themes for widgets and for the app itself.

Students can specify the days of the week that Timetable will use, as well as the information about each lesson and task, such as subject, teacher, location and more.

If you have multiple Android devices, it’s possible to take your schedule with you wherever you go. Timetable syncs your account to the Cloud to keep data consistent and current on whatever tablet, phone or notebook you’re using.

Getting organized and staying organized is important, and it will give you a leg up on your classmates. Entering classes, assignments and exams into Timetable is a great way to get the semester off to a good start.

Five tips to survive syllabus week, have a successful year It’s the first week of classes, the time to meet your teachers and get to know your fellow classmates. Actual classwork usually doesn’t get heavy until at least a week later, so for students, syllabus week has gained the reputation of a week of relaxation. But there are certain things that syllabus week is good for. Read on to see Pulp’s tips for getting its full potential.

—Compiled by The Daily Orange feature staff, pulp@dailyorange.com

MAKE THE CHANGE Be honest with yourself during the first week of class. Syllabus week is a pivotal time for you to ultimately decide to keep your schedule or drop a class or two. Be realistic.

Are you really going to keep up with a class that requires hundreds of pages of reading a week on top of regular tests and assignments? Don’t be afraid to make a change.

Dropping a class is as easy as clicking a button. A lighter schedule will leave you with fewer all-nighters and a milder addiction to coffee. Even if you have a strict four-year plan you want to follow and dropping a class isn’t an option, you can still consider swapping one out for an easier class.

HAVE A GAME PLAN You’ve successfully registered for fall classes and you’re feeling pretty good. Mission accomplished, right? Wrong. You might have your course numbers memorized, but even that won’t help you find the buildings in which they’re located. Without planning out a map of your class schedules, you might realize you have no idea where you’re going. To avoid this embarrassment, plan a route early to make sure you aren’t wandering aimlessly through buildings while looking ridiculous. Find the campus map on the university website and locate all the buildings on your schedule. Print it out and draw your route if you have to. Just don’t show up late on the first day because you got lost.

HOLD OFF ON BUYING TEXTBOOKS There is nothing more heartbreaking than spending hundreds of dollars on textbooks and then hearing from your professor that half of them are optional. If you are used to being on top of things, the thought of showing up to class — even on syllabus day — without all the required materials might make your skin crawl. But college is expensive. Disgustingly expensive. Every dollar saved should be precious to you.

Control your urge to be prepared and buy your textbooks after talking to your professors and making you’re sure you’ll actually need them.

SCHEDULE TIME FOR MEALS Juggling back-to-back classes with endless assignments while acclimating to a new schedule and place can be tricky, so don’t forget to make time to eat. But before you do that, be sure to check the hours of your nearest dining hall. If you’re craving some hot food between the hours of 3-4:30 p.m., you’re out of luck. This excruciatingly long hour and a half is the time between lunch and dinner when no hot food is served.

Unless you feel like filling up on lettuce and croutons, plan your meal swipes accordingly.

RESEARCH YOUR PROFESSOR If you’re thinking of dropping a class or switching into a section with a different professor, do some research first. You never know what you might miss if you don’t ask some questions. Talk to upperclassmen to see if they’ve had the professor before and what they liked or disliked about the course.

Or, if you can’t find friends who have previously taken the class, ask the Internet. Some websites are made for students to either praise or complain about past classes and professors — which can provide extremely valuable information.

New school wardrobe should define fashion sense, not redefine personality

E

ven though summer isn’t officially over until Sept. 22, there’s a fateful date that heralds the end of carefree days spent clad in shorts and flip-flops: Today is the end of vacation for most college students.

Gone are lazy, hazy afternoons. Gone, too, is the magnificent feeling of joy that comes from knowing you have no assignments due for weeks on end.

Alas, it is true that we students have lost such precious gifts of the summer season, but we have gained something grand in its own right: an ironclad excuse to go shopping.

Back-to-school shopping is a scholastic tradition. After all, academic excellence is much easier to achieve with some brand-new pencils and a few new wardrobe staples in tow.

The first day of school – be it your first day of kindergarten or the first day of your freshman year in college – is the day to display the fruits of your back-to-school shopping labor and, as such, it should be celebrated. While it is tempting to seize said celebration by overhauling

JENNA BELMONTE

never late but always fashionable your entire wardrobe, back-to-school purchases should reflect your personal style — not solely the season’s latest trends.

Of course, I would never argue that the clothes make the student, but I would assert there is a strong correlation between high selfconfidence and positive academic performance.

On the same thread, when you are happy with your outfit or proud of a particularly wonderful piece of clothing – like a perfectly distressed jean jacket or pristine pair of mahogany riding boots – you are more likely to be excited to get dressed in the morning and therefore

more likely to go to class.

A large part of success, in both academics and in life, is simply showing up. If a great outfit is what gets you out the door and where you need to be, then fashion serves a far greater purpose than many would initially assume or be willing to believe.

As a general rule, I mute virtually all commercials on my television or laptop, but last week, I accidentally ended up hearing two backto-school advertisements for J.C. Penney.

The first ad depicted a cheerful teenage girl discussing first-day outfit stratagem like she was going into a warzone instead of a classroom. I deem this notion of “strategy” to be a tad overwrought.

The second ad postulated that you, the consumer, are telling people “who you are” based on your clothing choices, and I find this tagline to be disconcerting, as well.

Clothing and fashion preferences do not tell people who you are. Likewise, you should not build a persona based entirely on a new

wardrobe. This particular tactic only works for Madonna, and even she doesn’t reinvent herself like she used to – minus her recent foray into the world of gold-rimmed grills.

Clothing and fashion choices are meant to complement your personality, not define it.

This vital dividing line is blurred all too often by both the media and retailers that simply want to make a healthy profit during the fall quarter.

Fashion is both fun and diverse. It can be high art, utilitarian or simply an afterthought, but most importantly, it is a tool that allows us to express ourselves.

So this back-to-school shopping season, I implore you to buy clothing that speaks to you — not clothing that speaks for you.

Kneaded treats

Fresh baked pasteries, specialty coffees satisfy sugar cravings

By Nicole Fisher CONTRIBUTING WRITER

long the block of small restaurants and vintage clothing stores on Westcott Street, many coffee shops fight to attract locals and college students. At the end of the road, a hand-painted, sunshine-yellow sign boasts the newest competition: Picasso’s Pastries and Cafe.

The bakery, which opened six weeks ago, makes its selection of homemade baked goods daily. The store boasts a relaxed atmosphere, decorated with pieces by local artists.

Glass display cases are filled with muffins, cookies and cakes. The women working behind the counter greet each customer with a grin and a great knowledge of their products, helping customers pick the best treat to curb their cravings. Though there’s no menu, both women happily inform each customer of the homemade goods they have available, since the pastries change daily.

Not a huge fan of overly sweet items and in need of lunch, I chose to start with a cheese roll, a French bread roll made with mozzarella, gruyere and provolone. The roll had an airy and chewy texture, and the mixture of cheese baked inside and on top of the dough gave the roll a strong, savory flavor. A considerable portion for $2.70, I would suggest it as an option for breakfast on the go or as bread for a sandwich.

Next, I teased my sweet tooth with a homemade Pop-Tart filled with apples for $2.50.

Buttery, flakey dough encased the apple pie-like filling. Crisp on the edges, the mixture of apples and cinnamon gave the pastry flavor without overpowering the dough.

To finish off my bakery experience, I decided to go out of my comfort zone and order the strawberry mousse cake. Layered with fresh strawberries, creamy mousse filling and shortcake, this slice of cake looked daunting in size.

And if that wasn’t enough, it was disgustingly sweet for my liking. While it tasted great, I was

only able to take a couple of bites. That being said, the size and flavor would make the cake, only $3.75, a dish to share with a friend on a coffee date or with a significant other.

To wash down the pastries, I ordered a latte with skim milk for $3.75. Using local Recess coffee, the woman behind the counter gave me the option of whole, 2 percent or skim milk. Feeling a little guilty, I chose skim for my frothy topping. As a Starbucks drinker, the coffee tasted weak to me, but still tasty. Either way, the small cup created the perfect mid-day caffeine pickme-up.

A short walk from campus, Picasso’s Pastries and Café is a nice location to meet a friend you haven’t seen since last semester or a new romantic interest for a weekend get-together.

However, limited seating prevents large group gatherings from working in the space. The bakery currently only sells snack-like items, but it plans to expand as it becomes more established.

If you’re looking for a motivational and

affordable location to cram for your first test, this bakery is a perfect fix for that — and your sweet tooth. nlfisher@syr.edu

SU loses game with own goal in 87th minute

By Austin Mirmina staff writer

An own goal late in the 87th minute was the difference for Syracuse. The Orange (1-1-0) suffered a heartbreaking 2-1 defeat to No. 19 West (1-0-1) on Sunday west virginia 2 Virginia in University Park, Pa. syracuse 1 With the score tied 1-1, both teams seemed poised to play an overtime period, but an SU defender mistakenly deflected a crossing pass from WVU’s Frances Silva, and the ball trickled past SU goalkeeper Brittany Anghel for the deciding goal. Anghel recorded five saves for the Orange.

The Mountaineers scored early when Silva assisted a pass to Kate Schwindel, who buried a shot in the back of the net from 12 yards out.

But the Syracuse defense found its rhythm and did not allow another goal in the first half.

SU capitalized on a prime scoring opportunity in the 56th minute when sophomore Erin Simon collected a pass from Jackie Moriarty between the defenders and beat West Virginia goalkeeper Sara Keane one-on-one to even the score at one goal apiece.

The Orange continued to generate scor-

ing chances; however, it could not capitalize. Keane blocked a shot from freshman Stephanie Skilton in the 65th minute. Less than a minute later, Keane saved another shot from midfielder Rachel Blum off of a corner kick rebound, leaving the eventual own goal as the winner.

With the victory, the Mountaineers improved to 9-3-2 all time against SU. Syracuse will play its home opener Friday at 7 p.m., when it hosts Albany at SU Soccer Stadium. awmirmin@syr.edu

training camp from page 28

Allen joined the Orange with his Big 12 pedigree in July as the presumed starter, but Hunt, who took reps with the first team in the spring, has kept the transfer from commanding the position. Neither has wowed anyone, but both seem to be solid options at the position.

Quarterbacks coach Tim Lester even hinted that a platoon system could be in place.

“I’d be surprised if they both didn’t take a snap at some point,” he said.

Every chance they’ve had to showcase themselves, they’ve performed eerily similar. Both have moved relatively well, but have struggled to the deep ball. In a scrimmage in Fort Drum, N.Y., Allen completed 10-of-18 passes and Hunt completed 9-of-17.

Camp closed

On Aug. 21, head coach Scott Shafer closed practice to the media leading up to the season opener against the Nittany Lions.

Sue Edson, Syracuse’s assistant athletic director for communications, cited two reasons.

The first was a self-reported recruiting violation incurred when a prospective recruit was caught on camera at an open practice. The second was to stop injury reports from influencing betting lines.

On Saturday, Shafer hinted that a quarterback decision had been made, but it will remain under wraps until game day because nobody has any way to see who’s taking the first-team snaps in the week leading up to the season opener.

Back to Fort Drum

Shafer continued a tradition started by nowBuffalo Bills head coach Doug Marrone a year ago. For one week, when most teams were in the middle of two-a-days, Shafer brought his team about an hour up Interstate-81 to Fort Drum, N.Y., to practice on a military base and spend time with military personnel.

Last year, Shafer credited the experience with the military for his team’s incredible turnaround from a 2-4 start to win the Pinstripe Bowl. He said the team remained steadfast, like military members, and maintained a similar personality after both wins and losses.

Many players from last year’s team credit the experience for turning them into more of a family than a team. Hernz Laguerre, a walk-on linebacker who Shafer said he barely knew before the trip, read poetry during a teambonding experience.

“You get away,” Shafer said. “You don’t have cell service and all of a sudden the kids look each other in the eye and they’re forced to communicate in a way that maybe they wouldn’t.”

Injuries

On Aug. 12 after practice, Shafer summed up Syracuse’s injury report for the entire preseason.

“Nothing major,” Shafer said. “We’ve got a couple upper-body (injuries), a couple lowerbody.”

Injuries were sprinkled throughout training camp. Offensive lineman Kyle Knapp, tight end Beckett Wales and kicker Ross Krautman, but none of the injuries appear to be major setbacks.

Syracuse is healthy heading into its season opener at MetLife Stadium against Penn State on Saturday.

The only serious question mark is defensive end Tyler Marona, who’s missed multiple weeks of practice. Shafer said Saturday they were taking it easy with him. But Marona tweeted Sunday that he might, after all, be ready to play against the Nittany Lions.

“Feel good today can’t wait to battle,” he tweeted.

Marona is listed fourth on Syracuse’s depth chart at defensive end. He didn’t suit up for the last practice open to media and Shafer said he missed practice again Wednesday.

questions from page 28

david wilson

augus t 2 6 , 2 013

SB: Opportunities. With an unproven quarterback and limited deep threats, the SU passing game should rely heavily on short passes: screens, slants, etc. Broyld and freshman Brisly Estime excel with the ball in their hands. I also wouldn’t be surprised to see Estime incorporated in the return game.

4. Who can pressure the quarterback? all in the game yo

stephen baile y

DW: Dyshawn Davis is the easy answer, but the bigger issue is who can do it in front of him. Defensive ends Micah Robinson and Robert Welsh give Syracuse consistent options up front, but it wouldn’t surprise me if freshman Isaiah Johnson ends up being the end that gets to the quarterback the most by the end of the season.

TH: Cameron Lynch. Lynch is a stellar pass that’s commitment.

trevor hass

with no regard for human life to No. 1, but he has dependable hands and he is a talented route runner, so it’s a jump he should be able to make.

SB: Ashton Broyld? The Merriam-Webster Dictionary defines threat as “an expression of intention to inflict evil, injury, or damage.” No. 1 receiver Jarrod West wasn’t a big-play guy last season and has worked with the secondteam offense at time during training camp.

Listed at H-back, Broyld has been working extensively in the slot. He didn’t produce much last season, but if there’s one receiver on the SU offense who could make a big play at any time, it’s he.

3. What should be expected of the H-backs?

DW: Excitement in flashes. Ashton Broyld showed what he’s capable of against Stony Brook last year, but it was against Stony Brook. He figures to improve, but he still doesn’t have a position. Brisly Estime seems to be in the same place. Both have typically lined up in the slot during training camp, but Broyld is listed as a running-back and played quarterback in high school. There will be wrinkles to get them involved, but it’s tough to imagine them being staples of the offense.

TH: Pizzazz sans poise. Ashton Broyld and Brisly Estime are two of Syracuse’s most naturally gifted players. Both players play multiple positions and are freak athletes but neither is a proven, consistent threat. It seems to me like the H-back will be a key component of SU’s offense.

Broyld will juke defenses out while Estime will blaze by them and leave them in the dust. The only question is whether they can do so with regularity and without too many mistakes.

rusher, one who can use his strength and speed to beat you. He’ll provide a dynamic one-two punch with Dyshawn Davis and will likely finish with more than five sacks and 40 tackles.

Lynch received an offer from Harvard, so he should be able to read and to react to opposing offenses’ tendencies.

SB: The outside linebackers. Dyshawn Davis has already proven opposing teams will need to game plan for him, but Cameron Lynch is freakishly strong and compact enough to burst through gaps in the middle of the line. With 285-pound monster Jay Bromley providing the push in the middle, Davis and Lynch should have plenty of chances to get into the backfield.

5. What does Syracuse need to do to get back to a bowl?

DW: Protect home field. The Orange has won its big games at home the past few years — Louisville last year, West Virginia the year before. Obviously, a win over Clemson would be huge, but the Tigers are tougher than the Cardinals or Mountaineers were. Still, winning all the other home games puts SU at four wins and it just needs to steal two more games on the road, of which plenty are winnable.

TH: Finish at least 2-2 against North Carolina State, Georgia Tech, Wake Forest and Maryland. After a doozy of a game against Clemson and before another nightmarish matchup against Florida State, Syracuse has four key conference games in a row. All four of those teams are in the Orange’s echelon. Some are a little better and some are a little worse, but overall all four games are winnable. If Syracuse takes care of business against Wagner and Tulane and beats Pittsburgh and Boston College, winning two of those four games nestled in the middle will be critical.

SB: Run the ball. Then run it some more.

Jerome Smith and Prince-Tyson Gulley are the keys to Syracuse’s immediate success in the ACC, and are more than enough to carry the Orange offense past Wagner, Tulane, Pittsburgh and Boston College. Then if SU can go 2-4 against Northwestern, Penn State, North Carolina State, Georgia Tech, Wake Forest and Maryland, there is your bowl game.

While you were gone: MCW drafted; Syracuse joins ACC Carter-Williams selected in Draft After guiding Syracuse to the Final Four for the first time since the 2003 national championship season, Michael Carter-Williams was selected 11th overall by the Philadelphia 76ers in the 2013 NBA Draft.

“I have a lot of confidence in myself, and Philadelphia has a lot of confidence in me,” the point guard said. “I’m going to go there and play my best. I’m just going to go out there and perform every night like I can.”

With the 76ers, he will be joined by his former AAU teammate and No. 6 overall pick Nerlens Noel. Carter-Williams and the big man were almost reunited with the Orange, before Noel eschewed SU for Kentucky, where he spent one season.

“I’m really excited. Me and Nerlens grew up together,” Carter-Williams said. “We’re best friends. We played on the same AAU team in high school. It’s like a ‘dream come true.’ We always talked about how we were both going to make it to the NBA. For us to end up on the same team is a blessing.”

Syracuse officially joins ACC

At midnight on July 1 it became official — Syracuse is a member of the Atlantic Coast Conference. A press conference in New York featuring Jim Boeheim ushered in the new era before Scott Shafer, Macky MacPherson and Jay Bromley headed to Greensboro, N.C., for the ACC Football Kickoff in late July for their first

taste of the new conference.

Most of it was the same — MacPherson likened it to turning 21 and people asking how it feels.

“You don’t feel any different yet,” he said.

There are some subtle differences in the South, though. MacPherson felt a little weird when a woman called him “sweetie” and he’s more partial to unsweetened tea as opposed to the prevalent sweet tea.

Said MacPherson: “I guess that’s some sort of mortal sin down here.”

Men’s basketball goes 4-0 in Canada

Syracuse knocked off McGill University, Bishop’s University, Carleton University and University of Ottawa to finish its preseason trip to Canada 4-0.

The Orange nearly suffered an embarrassing hiccup against Canadian powerhouse Carleton, but eventually put the Ravens away in overtime.

All three of the other wins were lopsided, as Syracuse was too much for the Canadian teams to handle.

DaJuan Coleman tallied 26 points in 26 minutes in Saturday’s 73-50 win over Ottawa. C.J. Fair sat out against Bishop’s, at the end of the Carleton game and again versus Ottawa after bruising his leg in the McGill game and reinjuring it against Carleton.

COLEMAN FROM PAGE 28

Jersey Nets after winning Big East Player of the Year as a senior. But he didn’t have enough credits to graduate.

At a time when most wouldn’t be thinking about completing an unfinished degree, the big man never let it escape his mind. Any conversation with head coach Jim Boeheim or former assistant coach Bernie Fine inevitably led to talk about Coleman finishing his degree.

“In the back of my mind, even when I used to talk to Coach when I was still playing he would always say that ‘you’ll come back to school,’” Coleman said, “and I was like, ‘Yeah, Coach, I’m going to do it. I’m going to get it.’”

“Every conversation I would have with Bernie that was like the second thing out of his mouth,” he added.

Coleman is the latest in a line of Orangemen from the 1990s working to finish the degrees left incomplete when they advanced to the professional ranks.

John Wallace finished up his degree two years ago. Lawrence Moten came back to Syracuse in 2007 to finish his while serving as an assistant for the basketball program, and Billy Owens has been working on his.

“You taking classes this summer?” one former teammate will ask another.

“You get back online with the classes?” another will inquire.

“It’s a group thing for all of us,” Coleman said.

The online model has made this possible.

Coleman spends much of his time traveling, whether it’s attending Orange basketball games or public speaking, so it’s tough for him to get back up to Syracuse for class.

With online classes, he can complete them at his leisure.

“If I don’t have anything scheduled for me to do then I’m on my computer taking a class,” Coleman said. “There’s not really a timetable.

If I can’t get a class done in five or six months or whatever then shame on me.”

Coleman will probably never use his sociology degreeo the motivation is personal and familial. He’s the first member of his family to attend college. Finishing his degree will grant him a sense of individual accomplishment.

“For me it’s just for personal reasons because I do believe that whatever I start I try to finish,” Coleman said.

The motivation seems to be the same for many of the former Orangemen who finish their degree up later. When Owens left Syracuse early for the NBA he said he told his family he would “eventually get a college degree.”

Coleman doesn’t regret leaving Syracuse early to finish his degree, just as most former players don’t.

“I was fulfilling my dream,” he said. He always knew he would come back and finish.

When he was at school, it seemed that something always got in the way. It was tough to balance practices, academics, training and a social life, especially at an age when he still wasn’t quite sure what he wanted to do with his life.

Coleman wishes that he had the resources that students and athletes had now, where someone could have noted how well he was doing in his speech communication classes and directed him on that route.

Things come up even now, but he has too much pride not to get it done. And now that he doesn’t need to sit in a classroom to finish it, he has all the time in the world.

“I travel so much and I get sidetracked about getting it done, but I am,” he said. “I’m definitely going to get it done.” dbwilson@syr.edu @DBWilson2

MEN’S SOCCER

Syracuse topples 3rd-ranked Georgetown in final exhibition

By Josh Hyber STAFF WRITER

In its final exhibition match before the regular season, No. 20 Syracuse defeated No. 3 Georgetown 3-1 on Sunday afternoon in Washington, SYRACUSE 3 D.C. After victories over Fordham and Ryerson, the GEORGETOWN 1 win brought SU’s final preseason record to 3-0.

Junior midfielder Nick Perea scored two goals and added an assist. Perea’s three goals scored during the exhibition season tied for the team lead with sophomore midfielder Stefanos Stamoulacatos, who also scored Sunday.

“We’re learning a lot about our team,” SU Head Coach Ian McIntyre said. “The first part of this week will be just kind of putting us back together, training the correct way, training the smart way, to gear us up for Colgate.”

Syracuse will open the regular season against the Raiders on Friday at 7 p.m. in Hamilton, N.Y. Along with the play of Perea and Stamoulacatos, freshmen Chris Nanco and Alex Halis’ performances — each notched one goal and one assist — have stood out during the preseason.

With the Orange losing its top five goal scorers from last season, having seven different goal scorers during the preseason is a promising sign.

On Sunday, Syracuse had the momentum early, scoring two goals in a four-minute span.

In the seventh minute, Nanco was brought down

in the box by the Georgetown goalkeeper, awarding the Orange a penalty kick. Perea stepped up and made the shot, giving the Orange a 1-0 lead.

In the 10th minute, junior defender Jordan Murrell sent a ball into the box, which was headed in by Perea. The forward’s second goal of the game and third goal of the exhibition season gave the Orange a 2-0 lead.

“He’s been outstanding,” McIntyre said.

“We’re looking for him to chip in.”

Stamoulacatos scored 11 minutes into the second half to give the Orange a 3-0 lead.

Perea picked up his fifth point of the game with an assist.

The game wasn’t all in SU’s favor. After Perea’s second goal, the Hoyas had several scoring chances. In the second half, Alex Bono had a few saves, highlighted by a stellar kick-save in the 69th minute to keep the shutout intact.

In his first time playing an entire game this preseason, Bono finished with seven saves.

Georgetown, though, prevented the shutout after senior forward Steve Neumann scored on a penalty kick in the 82nd minute.

“It’s a great result on the road against a very, very strong Georgetown team,” McIntyre said.

“We’ll take a lot of confidence from here.”

“The guys worked very hard today and to come here into this kind of environment and get a win, it’s great.” jmhyber@syr.edu

Beat writers address SU’s 5 most pressing questions 1. Who will be the starting quarterback?

David Wilson, sports editor: Drew Allen. We haven’t gotten to see much at training camp, but we have seen that Allen gives the offense more explosion than Terrel Hunt. He’s got a bigger arm, Head Coach Scott Shafer said he can throw the ball 70 yards in the air, and during the scrimmage in Fort Drum, N.Y., he actually had the longest run of the two quarterbacks.

There’s a reason he came to Syracuse from Oklahoma: to start at quarterback.

Quarterback questions With the season fast approaching, the biggest question still remaining is who will start at quarterback for Syracuse when it opens its season Saturday against Penn State.

The competition is down to two

parties: Drew Allen, the transfer from Oklahoma, and Terrel Hunt, the sophomore from New York. Neither has started a game in college and have thrown a grand total of 30 passes between them.

see training camp page 20

fectly honest, I’m not sure who will start against Penn State. Allen and Hunt have been incredibly even in training camp. Both are good but neither is great at this point in time. Allen is a little better with his arm and Hunt is a little better with his legs, but neither has a glaring weakness. Now that Allen has had ample time to learn the system and get acquainted with his teammates, I think he has slightly more upside and will get the nod in Week One. Plus, Shafer will be second-guessed less if he starts Allen.

Stephen Bailey, asst. sports editor: Drew Allen. He gives Syra-

cuse the best chance to win now. If that becomes a secondary priority should the Orange falter out the gates, by all means let Terrel Hunt step into the position that will almost inevitably be his in 2014. In the meantime, Scott Shafer and the SU program brought Allen in to start.

He can definitely throw the ball farther than Hunt, and likely more accurately, too. I’m not saying he’s going to shock anyone — especially with a depleted receiving corps — but his skill set is still more complete than Hunt’s.

2. Who will be the No. 1 receiving threat?

DW: Jarrod West, by default. He’s better suited as a No. 2 receiver, but it’s a thin corps almost entirely devoid of experience. H-backs Ashton Broyld and Brisly Estime are probably Syracuse’s most explosive weapons in the passing game, but neither figures to be as consistent as West, whom I suspect will lead the team in most receiving statistics.

TH: Jarrod West. Jeremiah Kobena and Beckett Wales will be reliable No. 2 and No. 3 options, but West will likely be whoever starts at quarterback’s main target. West is making a considerable jump from the No. 3 receiver see questions page 21

Back to school

Coleman finishing degree 23 years after leaving SU

By David Wilson

Sports Editor

ociology is, in its most simplistic terms, the science of dealing with social problems.

Well, if that’s the case, then Derrick Coleman has been a sociologist for years.

“Think about this,” he implored, “I’ve been dealing with social problems my whole life, so I already have a master’s, a bachelor’s, I’ve been dealing with that my whole life.”

Twenty-three years after leaving Syracuse for the NBA, Coleman is gearing back up for classes in the fall semester. The former All-American is taking online classes and just 12 credits away from physically receiving his degree in sociology from the university. He is listed as a senior in the College of Arts and Sciences on the SU student directory and is enrolled in two classes this fall, which puts him on track to graduate in the spring.

“You’re coming out of school, you’re the No. 1 draft pick in the NBA, you’re not thinking about school at this time,” Coleman said, “you’re going to take on the world.”
