Change of taste Burger King, Taco Bell are replaced with healthier options

On the prowl

hether it was a grand night of drinking and partying or a calm night in, senior Jaime Rivera’s most exciting nights with friends would be wrapped up with the same, joy-inducing proposal: “Let’s go get Taco Bell.”

“One of the biggest effects of drinking is getting hungry, and Kimmel is the easiest, cheapest and most convenient solution,” said Rivera, a finance major who describes himself as someone who

has “lived off Taco Bell for the last three years.”

His incentive to go to Kimmel Food Court, which housed popular fast-food restaurant chains Taco Bell and Burger King up until last month, is gone.

“Now it seems there’s nothing to get excited for,” he said.

Kimmel opened Queso’s and Trios Thursday, two conceptual restaurants created by Syracuse University Food Services. They replace Taco Bell and Burger King as the food court’s staple restaurants.

Students excited about Juice Jam lineup

By Alexandra Hitzler ASST. NEWS EDITOR

This year’s Juice Jam lineup has the potential to attract recordbreaking crowds, said Sarah Fleisher, director of public relations for University Union.

“Last year we sold 7,000 tickets and that’s definitely a possibility again

this year,” Fleisher said in an email.

“Juice Jam has a very diverse and successful history.”

The ninth annual concert will be held Sept. 9 and will feature electronic dance music disc jockey Calvin Harris and rapper Childish Gambino.

The organization has experienced a lot of positive responses

from students since their Aug. 19 announcement of this year’s headliners, Fleisher said.

“I think this year’s lineup is awesome,” said sophomore graphic design major Elain Tsai. “I love Childish Gambino. It definitely makes up for last year’s Block Party.”

Student organizations to utilize electronic application system for funding requests

By Dylan Segelbaum ASST. COPY EDITOR

Student organizations requesting finances will no longer have to handsubmit a 20-page packet to the desk of Student Association Comptroller

Stephen DeSalvo.

In preparation for this semester’s budget season, SA has created a new electronic application system for student groups with the goal of ameliorating the inefficiencies of the past.

“It should be a very easy process,” DeSalvo said. “I think it’s a win-win for everybody.”

The new application, which will be used exclusively for semester budgets and special programming requests,

will be accessible through OrgSync.

All registered student organizations in good standing at Syracuse University are already required to have an account with the service, he said.

The cost of OrgSync is also split

between SA and the Office of Student Activities, making it the logical choice for hosting the applications, as it possesses this capability, DeSalvo said.

8 burglaries occur during summer months

DPS prepares for upcoming semester

By Alex Ptachick STAFF WRITER

Eight burglaries and two robberies occurred in the area surrounding Syracuse University during the summer months, making the season a quiet one, said Department of Public Safety Chief Tony Callisto.

Residents of a Euclid Avenue house were shocked to discover they had fallen victim to an overnight burglary. The suspect was granted access through an unlocked window. Expensive electronics such as laptops, iPods and gaming systems left in the living room were stolen, he said.

In this scenario, the suspect was found and some items were returned. The residents have learned their lesson, and now lock their personal belongings in their respective rooms and lock all windows and doors, he said.

In each of the incidents on East Campus, the crimes were ones of opportunity, where residents could have taken preventative measures.

In the two robberies that took place, the victims were walking alone, late at night. The eight homes that were burglarized had unlocked doors and windows. If students take precautions, Callisto said, he believes the number of incidents during the school year will decrease.

“DPS and the Syracuse Police Department do a lot in the way of preventative patrols; we saturate these neighborhoods with patrol officers,” Callisto said.

However, patrol officers are just one of several precautions implemented by local law enforcement offices.

Campus West welcomes tenants

By Tyler Greenawalt STAFF WRITER

Students at the Syracuse University College of Law have a new option for housing this year. Campus West, a brand-new apartment complex located about two blocks from the law school, opened its doors for the first time last week.

While initially restricted to only incoming and current law students,

Campus West invited graduate and transfer students to apply for housing this year because not all the rooms were filled, said Eileen Simmons, director of the Office of Housing, Meal Plan and I.D. Card Services.

Nikki Laubenstein, director of admissions for the law school, played a large role in informing incoming law students about this

University Village Apartments on Colvin and Park Point Syracuse are off-campus apartments comparable to Campus West that are available to undergraduate students. University Village and Park Point offer two-person and four-person apartments. The two complexes both include utilities, in-unit washers and dryers, and fitness centers in their rent fees. Rent rates for the 2013-14 academic year are not yet available for University Village, but for the 2012-13 academic year, four-bedroom apartments are $999 per person, per month and two-bedroom apartments are $1,069 per person, per month. At Park Point, a four-bedroom apartment will be $1,049 per person, per month and a two-bedroom will be $1,099 per person, per month for the 2013-14 academic year.

The Daily Orange launched its new website Sunday night, a long-awaited move that shifted the site from the College Publisher system to one based on WordPress.

The website still has the web address of dailyorange.com. The switch has been in the works since summer 2011 and talks with Upstatement, a Bostonbased firm that designed the new website, began in February.

new housing opportunity. She said most students wanted housing close to the law school because they spend a lot of time there and keep very different hours from undergraduate students.

“When we are out recruiting, we get a lot of questions about if there’s on-campus housing and we never had that before,”

“Our focus is on deterring off campus crime, crime prevention programming with students and pedestrian and traffic safety initiatives.”

“This is a website that definitely takes us more into present day in terms of where technology is,” Editor in Chief Mark Cooper said.

The College Publisher site, which the newspaper used for the past decade, got the job done in the past, Cooper said. But the new site features larger photo galleries and makes it easier for The D.O. staff to post stories online and make changes as they see fit ? something that was more difficult with the closed-

system College Publisher. It also helps the business side of the paper, as the site better reflects the paper’s print edition and triples the number of online banner ads.

“It gives us total control over it,” Cooper said.

Another one of the top features is the responsive design of the website, meaning it will automatically resize to electronic devices and eliminate scrolling from side to

women & gender

From one female to another, thoughts on stereotypes, culture

I

t’s hard to believe I started my career at Syracuse University four years ago this month and am about to embark on my last semester of college. Needless to say, waves of nostalgia and self-reflection have become commonplace in my daily thoughts.

Hindsight bias makes it easy to look back at my time on campus and think about the details that young women on college campuses should be aware of.

In light of my recent epiphanies, I want to share some helpful advice and suggestions for other young women who are new to SU — or, refresh the rest of Syracuse women — on everything from gender stereotypes and campus culture to general safety and politics.

Build strong friendships and continue to make time for friends amid school, activities and other relationships. Take advantage of the amazing people on this campus and create a network of solid, go-to chicks you can rely on whether you need serious advice or want someone to walk with to the bars or a frat party, depending on your age, of course.

In terms of sex and safety, know your options. The Advocacy Center on campus is a resource that offers free and confidential services to students who have been affected by relationship or sexual violence. It also has both prevention and education programs.

Students Advocating Sexual Safety and Empowerment is an organization that promotes these ideals by raising awareness and hosting events like “The Vagina Monologues” in February. It also gives out free condoms and vagina-shaped lollipops.

You can follow SASSE on Twitter at @SASSEsyracuse.

Being a sports fan is not a dudeonly realm. SU is a thriving place for students to experience athletics at its best — and its worst, depending on the season — and in no way does this exclude the women on campus.

As a student at SU, get in touch with your sports fandom and commitment to the Orange without being intimidated by traditional cultural norms around gender and sports.

not a barbie girl For example, eating lunch at Chuck’s Cafe is not overrated by any means. It shouldn’t just be a place to visit after midnight on a Thursday.

Guys aren’t the only ones who crave burgers and beer.

Sororities and greek life can be fun ways to meet people and find a sense of home at SU, but they are not necessarily for everyone. It might feel like everyone on campus is participating in recruitment or pledging come January, but only about 20 percent of the SU student population is involved with greek life. Explore your options and trust your instincts, but also keep in mind that your activities don’t define you.

Know your roots. SU is home to countless notable alumni, many of them being women. From Comedian Lisa Lampanelli to all-star Actress Vanessa Williams to highly-esteemed Author Joyce Carol Oates, it’s important to be knowledgeable about the rich history of Orange women in order to become one.

This fall is a crucial time to be politically aware and active given the upcoming presidential election, especially for first-time voters. The university has a number of ways to get involved politically through different clubs, organizations and community projects.

There’s no shortage of opportunities to be locally aware of political concerns, and this can also help frame large-scale, national matters.

In addition to the national election, if you’re registered to vote in Syracuse, be sure to do research in order to make informed local voting decisions.

Safety an issue as academic year kicks off As freshmen adjust to being on a college campus for the first time and as upperclassmen return, campus safety becomes an issue.

Within a 24-hour period, students received two emails from the Department of Public Safety. The first was about a female student who was forcibly touched in Thornden Park. The second email was about a male student who was mugged by six suspects, also near Thornden Park.

Looking through the daily DPS crime logs, campus incidents increase as students return. This seems logical, but while coming back to school is a hectic time for both first-timers and returning students, the basic safety measures must not be forgotten.

Students should not travel alone at night. Walking in groups minimizes

Students should take the time to program DPS and Syracuse University Ambulance phone numbers into their phones in case of an emergency.

It is also important that freshmen take the time to learn their surroundings. Know where campus buildings are located and which buildings are near residence halls. Become familiar with off-campus streets, too. There are many different routes students can take to get from place to place, and they should be on the lookout for well-lit routes after dark.

The university also has a Blue Light Alarm System for emergencies. Blue lights are located throughout campus in different areas, and students should always be on the lookout for them when traveling across campus at night.

As classes begin this week, students must also remember to safeguard their personal belongings. Students should not leave their valuables unguarded in campus buildings, even if only for a minute. As signs posted around campus point out, it only takes eight seconds for someone to steal your belongings.

Campus safety will always be an issue that will concern students and officials, but many of the crimes can be prevented. Students should make sure they take the steps to do so.

Syracuse may lean liberal, but all can benefit from different viewpoints

t’s an age-old talking point of conservatives: Colleges are liberal.

Professors and fellow students are all the same — they all have a supposedly similar political stance. Syracuse University, along with most other colleges, is lumped into this stereotype.

Conservatives argue that by going to college, their viewpoints are constantly challenged because of the liberal leanings of colleges. Generalizations about SU being liberal may have some element of truth when considering raw data. College is meant to challenge all viewpoints.

Former Republican Party front-runner Rick Santorum summed up the talking point when he explained why President Barack Obama wants everyone to go to college.

“The indoctrination that is going on at the university level is a harm to our country,” Santorum said.

While Santorum may be out of the presidential race, his ideas on college are not uncommon. He and others believe higher

to the left, to the left education may not be trying to better inform young people, but instead is a tool that pushes an ideology on them. Nothing could be further from the truth.

It’s debatable whether or not professors’ views rub off on students. Some of the best political science professors are so neutral that they leave students guessing at their viewpoints and political affiliations. Others are more transparent in their political standpoints.

Understanding and examining different viewpoints is a skill that is developed in college. In classes dealing with subjects that lend themselves to different viewpoints, faculty members generally help sharpen this skill.

Todd Akin’s comment about legitimate rape must serve as call to action for young women I usually avoid discussing politics beyond my friends and family, but when Rep. Todd Akin (R-Mo.) declared there was a difference between rape and legitimate rape, I quickly signed a petition to have him resign and shared it on Facebook.

But I realized I couldn’t stop there.

When a member of Congress can, with a straight face, say the female body has mystical powers to prevent pregnancy in cases of “legitimate rape,” I feel it’s time to take a more active stand.

With the rise of conservative opinions about slashing funding for Planned Parenthood, limiting access to birth control and revoking Roe vs. Wade, we are poised for women’s rights to go backward.

Regardless of your politics, it’s obvious to see the Republican Party is the driving force behind policies meant to limit a woman’s right to make decisions about her body.

That’s why it’s so important for us women to turn out for the fall election. Consider the implications if we don’t.

As a college-aged woman, imagine not having birth control because you can’t afford it, or not having the right to get a safe abortion or access to emergency contraception.

There’s a proverbial phrase that college is a time to make mistakes. I know women here who have had pregnancy scares and needed to use the morning-after pill. According to some

LET TER TO THE EDITOR Republicans, women should have to live with the results of these mistakes.

While we may never be affected by these horrific policies during our time in college, I want to make sure that my future daughter can go to college knowing she is in charge of her own destiny and body.

I grew up being able to play sports and now have the opportunity to enter the workforce and make a fair and equal wage. I inherited these rights because women before me took a stand.

When I vote for President Barack Obama this fall, I’m voting for me — for my body, my rights and those of all the women who come after me so they may be free to make their own decisions as I have.

I implore you to think about this when you take to the ballot box or fill out your absentee ballot.

Voting shouldn’t be about which team you usually root for, but about the issues that are important to you. If women’s health is one of them, then join me in re-electing Obama and congressional candidates who support women’s rights.

There will be serious consequences if we don’t.

CL ASS OF 2013 PUBLIC REL ATIONS MAJOR

When we consider the political viewpoints of those in college, data back up the idea that college is a liberal environment. As education level goes up, people become more left leaning, according to American National Election Studies data. The two factors are not related by cause and effect — education does not necessarily cause us to become more liberal — but they are strongly correlated.

States with more college graduates lean Democratic, whereas those with fewer degrees of higher education tend to lean Republican, according to data from the Progressive Policy Institute.

In 2010, Democrat Dan Maffei defended his House seat in New York’s 25th congressional district including Syracuse. Republican challenger Ann Marie Buerkle, the current district incumbent, was not well supported by SU employees.

In a 2010 report, The Daily Orange found that 24 SU employees contributed $21,275 to Maffei and just one employee contributed $50 Buerkle’s campaign. While the overwhelm-

ing difference in campaign donations made during the 2010 House campaign are not definite proof that SU is liberal, they add to the generalization.

Complaining about how SU is a liberal campus with liberal professors and students is worth very little. Challenging viewpoints and engaging with others who disagree is part of what college is here for, regardless of one’s political viewpoint.

As students both liberal and conservative, we should seek out professors, classes and peers who challenge our views to the point that we may not be comfortable. If we agree with professors and peers, we can also challenge their arguments.

With a price tag of more than $50,000 per year, we should ensure that we get what we pay for. A college education should enable the exploration of viewpoints.

Campus media outlets, police departments must make campus safety bigger priority In a span of 24 hours I received two Department of Public Safety notices. Both involved incidents late at night in Thornden Park. Apparently DPS feels it cannot control crime off campus, but does urge students to use vigilance, walk in groups, use blue lights, etc., but really, there seems to be very little help for students walking late at night next to campus.

This seems to happen each year, as every week or two during the semester there is some sort of conflict with students between Ostrom Avenue and Westcott Street. Maybe problems do not occur that often, but I believe the perception among students is that they do. Why is this not being addressed as a greater concern by the university and Syracuse police, and why is The Daily Orange not emphasizing this issue?

Like it or not, Syracuse University is a great source of income for the community.

When there is perceived danger, it affects many areas of the university, from possible enrollment considerations by potential students, to quality of life of students living off campus, to interaction with commercial enterprises off campus by students living on campus.

This can affect how students act, where they go, and if and when they will spend money. When students are attacked adjacent to campus, they are not likely to venture far, not to mention the moral issue of failing to

LET TER TO THE EDITOR help those who stray just off campus as best we can.

In an era when funding is a great concern, and being realistic about where and when to place officers, there are other ways the problem can be tackled. Better lighting, surveillance cameras and plainclothes officers are all possibilities.

If DPS does not feel it has enough jurisdiction, then the university should be pressuring Syracuse City police to step up enforcement. I don’t fault any DPS or Syracuse officer on the beat, but at a higher level, someone should be accountable. After all, it’s not just college kids whose safety is at risk; there are many Syracuse residents who live in this area.

If SU can make major changes just to satisfy a few noise complaints on Euclid Avenue in May for MayFest, why, when there are real dangers, is there not some sort of task force or committee to look into this problem? If there is, why am I not reading updates about it in The D.O.?

KIMMEL FROM PAGE 1

Kimmel is best known for its late dining hours — which extend to 3 a.m. on weekends — and its acceptance of students’ meal plan declining balance accounts, SUpercard Food.

Queso’s is a southwest-style restaurant that serves nachos, burritos, quesadillas and rice bowls with several toppings available, such as salsa, pinto beans, sirloin steak, chicken breast and carnita pork. Trios is a sliders restaurant that offers mini Angus beef hamburgers, chicken breasts, pulled pork and vegetarian burgers.

As SU reached the end of its franchise agreements with Burger King and Taco Bell at Kimmel, talks of Food Services creating its own concept restaurants arose, said David George, director of Food Services. After years of student and customer feedback, it was decided that Queso’s and Trios would be healthier meal options.

Queso’s and Trios allow Food Services to better control the types of ingredients and incorporate more natural products into food mixes, George said. Taco Bell and Burger King’s national brand specifications were rigid and allowed little to no flexibility in alternative ingredients.

For example, had Food Services wanted to substitute local tomatoes during tomato season, it would be required to utilize the national brand’s supplier of tomatoes, George said.

Since Queso’s and Trios are concepts developed by Food Services itself, they are able to handpick the ingredients going into the products they serve. George said Food Services utilizes fresh, local produce and local dairy products when available to support Syracusearea farmers.

augu s t 27, 2 01 2

While Taco Bell and Burger King offer healthy alternatives to their main items, they dictate which items they will make “healthy.”

Customers at Queso’s and Trios can instead choose the type and amount of each product they want, so the customer controls how healthy his or her meal is, George said.

But Marisa DeCandido, a senior broadcast and digital journalism major, called Taco Bell’s greasy, unhealthy meals the “perfect cheap,

“I think it’ll take a little while for students to get excited about these new eateries. Once people start trying it, they might be pleasantly surprised.”

late-night food.” For her, the health values of the food were not her concern.

DeCandido’s go-to meal was the restaurant’s signature Crunchwrap Supreme: a soft flour tortilla filled with seasoned beef, a gooey cheese sauce and a crispy tostada shell.

She remembers a 2 a.m. venture to Kimmel one night when she ordered six Crunchwrap Supremes and six tacos to split with three other friends.

“I have no shame in admitting we ate all of it,” she said.

As a college student on a budget, DeCandido can’t afford to spend her SUpercard money on expensive food, and restaurants like Taco

Bell and Burger King had fit her budget well.

She was initially excited to take her younger brother, who is a freshman this year, to the food court to show him the variety of 3 a.m. fast-food options.

Though she knows that Queso’s, the restaurant replacing Taco Bell, is a Tex-Mex food venue, DeCandido believes it won’t have the same grossyet-satisfying food Taco Bell provided.

“What else could you want?” she asked.

For sophomore policy studies major Nicole Osborne, the old restaurants were all about the familiarity.

She could go to Burger King, a worldwide fast-food chain, and know exactly what to expect and how much it would cost. Her concern is that Queso’s and Trios are too similar to Marshall Street restaurants Chipotle and Sliders, respectively.

“The only reason I would go to Kimmel instead of Marshall Street for these items would be to use SUpercard Food or if I was too lazy to walk farther.”

When creating new restaurants, Food Services evaluates the options available to them and looks at what’s trending in the country, continually reviewing customer satisfaction.

Customer feedback includes information obtained through surveys and comment cards, said George, the director of Food Services.

In spring 2012, a student food advisory board was created within the Student Association to further understand how students felt about dining centers on campus and what changes they wanted to see. They met with higher administration in food services and, though they weren’t part of the decision to bring in Queso’s and Trios, they were a part of the discussion, said PJ Alampi, chair of SA’s Student Life Committee.

“The best thing we can do is see how students

7

feel in a few semesters,” he said. “If students reach out to us and send emails, we might have a good try of getting the (Taco Bell and Burger King) contracts back on campus.”

But students are still looking at Queso’s and Trios with an open mind.

Osborne did try Trios during her Resident Adviser training. She had the All-American Slider, BBQ Pulled Pork Slider and natural cut fries. Though the sliders “weren’t bad,” she said, the prices were noticeably more expensive, which was “definitely a turnoff.”

“I think it’ll take a little while for students to get excited about these new eateries,” she said. “Once people start trying it, they might be pleasantly surprised.”

Rivera said he’ll give Queso’s and Trios a try, but doesn’t expect it will be on par to the previous restaurants. He said the pictures on advertisements slipped into napkin dispensers in the dining halls didn’t even present the food in a delightful way.

“I think Kimmel loses a lot of quality,” Rivera said. “And at the end of the day, there is no replacement for Taco Bell and Burger King.” meltagou@syr.edu

NO MORE TACO TIME As the scores for Syracuse University basketball games climb higher, fans can

often be heard chanting “Taco Time”

again and again. But with Taco Bell no

longer at Kimmel Food Court this chant could end. When the Syracuse basketing ball team scores more than 75 points in a home game, fans can redeem their ticket stub for a free taco. With the closing of the Kimmel Taco Bell location, the next closest Taco Bell is on Erie Boulevard East in downtown Syracuse, approximately 4.6 miles away.

JUICE JAM FROM PAGE 1

Charyse Watson, a senior magazine journalism major said she does not usually attend Juice Jam, but this year’s lineup convinced her to purchase a ticket for the concert.

“The lineup sounds pretty good to me,” Watson said. “I usually don’t know the people that perform at Juice Jam and I know both of those, so I might actually go this year.”

Brendon Dunham, a senior economics major, also plans to attend the concert and said he thinks the quality of this year’s performers is consistent with those from past years.

Like Dunham, Danley Voss, a senior accounting major, said that while he plans on attending the concert, he thinks this

Laubenstein said. “I think that having that available to law students is really something that they like to hear.”

“I think eventually, in the future, the hope is that it will mainly be law students,” Laubenstein said.

Campus West is located near the Brewster/ Boland/Brockway Complex, as well as the new law school, Dineen Hall, when it is completed in fall 2014. The rent ranges from $999 per month per person for a four-bedroom apartment to $1,259 per month for a onebedroom apartment, according to Campus West’s website.

year’s artist choices are very similar to those of past concerts.

“It seems pretty similar to last year,” Voss said. “We’re going to have another electronichouse performer and a rapper just like with

bathrooms, individual laundry service and wireless Internet.

Skye Hamburg, a sophomore English and textual studies major, transferred from Hofstra University and will live at Campus West this year. Hamburg originally lived in one of the SkyHalls on South Campus, but decided to move after seeing someone post a comment about Campus West on Facebook.

“It’s like granite countertops, hardwood floors, brand new furniture,” Hamburg said.

“They’re awesome.”

Hamburg has not mapped out her morning route, but predicts that the walk to Main Campus is between 10 and 15 minutes.

Environmental Data Resources, the company that designed and built the University Village Apartments on Colvin on South Campus, also designed and built Campus West, according to a July 19, 2011 news release.

Avicii and B.o.B.” Mitchell Heckman, a junior supply chain management and broadcast and digital journalism major, said that while he has yet to buy a ticket, he enjoys both performers’ music and plans on attending this year’s concert.

“I really like Calvin Harris,” Heckman said. “ I don’t know who Childish Gambino is, but I’ve been listening to some of his music on YouTube and I think he will be pretty good.”

Heckman added that while he looks forward to this year’s concert, he preferred last year’s lineup, which featured Swedish house-electronic artist Avicii, rapper B.o.B and Chiddy Bang, an electro hip-hop duo from Philadelphia.

While many are looking forward to the concert, some students are not as eager to attend.

Mike Laidley, a junior finance and public

relations major, said he is unsure if he will attend Juice Jam because of the choice in this year’s performers. Laidley said he feels the performers are too “spotty and niche” to appeal to a large audience.

“The electro-artist Calvin Harris isn’t a very big name, nor is Childish Gambino,” Laidley said. “ Childish also has a very ‘hate it or love it’ style that alienates many hip-hop fans. I think it is a step down in terms of quality or artists as well as ability to appeal to the greater student body.”

Tickets are available for $10 to all faculty, staff and students at SU and the State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry at the Schine Student Center Box Office and online, according to the UU website.

Both apartment complexes have similar pricing and room sizes, but Campus West also offers studio and one-bedroom apartments, according

pletely separate online application that must be filled out before obtaining a lease, Hamburg said.

Although situated closer to Main Campus than most apartments, Campus West is still considered off-campus housing and is not offered through the housing lottery process, Hamburg said.

Hamburg was attracted to Campus West because the apartments were much closer to Main Campus than where she was previously living. She was also drawn to the mixture of apartment-style living and dorm living, as the apartments are accessible via a main hallway.

“They’re really nice,” Hamburg said.

“We had people over the other night and they were like ‘this is so much nicer than South Campus.’”

BUDGET FROM PAGE 1

But this is not the only way the new system takes costs into account.

Often, DeSalvo said, student groups come to their budget meetings without applications printed out and end up using SA’s paper and ink. However, even if this is done beforehand, printing this paperwork can use a significant amount of a student’s printing quota allotment.

Finance Board members will now add their recommendations for either approving or denying a budget online, instead of sending out letters to each group.

Though budgets and special programming requests will be filed online, expenditure and contingency requests will still use paper applications, as they are easier to process in this form and are filed much less frequently, he said.

The comptroller and the Finance Board will be able to review budgets as soon as SA’s adviser

in the Office of Student Activities approves them, making the board’s Friday meetings run more smoothly and efficiently.

Student groups will no longer have to go to

the comptroller’s office to retrieve a copy of their submitted budget because they will be stored online as well, DeSalvo said.

“Groups are now going to be able to look at

Department officers on request,” according to the brochure.

Though DPS and SPD do their part in preventing crime on campus, the rest is up to the students, said Benjamin Tupper, a prominent landlord in the areas surrounding the university.

Tupper currently owns 51 houses in the area. Within the last 15 years, he has only dealt with eight break-in incidents. He said he prides himself on taking proper security measures to ensure his houses are not targets for crime.

“I assess the threat level of the house — light-

their old budgets that they’ve submitted maybe 10 years ago, just by going online to their organization’s folder and looking at the budgets they’ve submitted,” he said.

Budgets will also no longer be rejected based on the technicality of a missing signature, DeSalvo said. The form cannot be submitted without initialing on the computer and a confirmation email will be sent out after its completion, as well.

If a budget is rejected, groups will have the ability to update the form and resubmit it online, he said. Special programming requests that are denied work differently, as they are voted on weekly and require a group to resubmit an entirely new application.

President Dylan Lustig said SA’s previous budget meeting went smoothly and that he’s “very optimistic” about the new system, despite not having a significant hands-on role with its creation.

Still, student groups should be patient with the system the first time around, Lustig said.

“Everyone should expect kinks having to be worked out,” he said. “Understand in the future

“Tenants are 80 percent of the equation for preventing crime. Locks, lights and security systems are only 20 percent.”

it will be something that’ll be fixed.”

Lindsey Colegrove, president of SU’s official programming board University Union, said in an email that she believes this new system will make the budget process more “streamlined” and environmentally friendly.

Colegrove was able to participate in the budget process for UU last year, doing everything from receiving training about the application to actually completing the paperwork.

As a tier-four organization that can request amounts greater than $25,000, UU is often approached by other groups and asked to co-sponsor their events during the budget process, she said.

The fact that there will be less chance a budget will be rejected on technical grounds is a relief, she said, but ultimately the method of applying for funds does not differ significantly from last semester.

“This new, electronic system is simply a more convenient way of completing the budget application part,” she said. “Much of the process will remain the same.” dmsegelb@syr.edu

ing, crime history on the street, elevation of the house and locks — I find out what the weaknesses are and up the security to defend the weaknesses,” Tupper said.

Although Tupper’s formula has a high success rate, he still believes tenants make the best security systems. The best way to prevent a break-in, he said, is to make the house appear as if someone is home even when it is vacant.

Said Tupper: “Tenants are 80 percent of the equation for preventing crime. Locks, lights and security systems are only 20 percent.” acptachi@syr.edu

The technical and administrative department of DPS oversees the emergency radio and telephone communications, the law enforcement databases, dispatching officers to alarms and monitoring the closed-circuit camera system located throughout SU’s campus, among other duties.

“It’s definitely an improvement over the old site and I hope the readers will be happy with it.”

Dara McBride

FORMER DAILY ORANGE EDITOR-IN-CHIEF

With the new website now unveiled, Waack expects positive feedback and high interest from advertisers.

John Boilard, lead designer on The D.O. site, said it’s similar to The Boston Globe’s new website, which Upstatement also designed.

The Community Policing Division includes the patrol units who work 24/7 to handle emergency calls, Blue Light Alarm System alerts and various other emergency calls. This division also plans and coordinates the Orange Watch program, which places DPS peace officers in key areas on campus and the surrounding neighborhoods.

“Our focus is on deterring off campus crime, crime prevention programming with students and pedestrian and traffic safety initiatives,” Callisto said.

On Aug. 23, SU students received two emails from DPS concerning off-campus crimes near Thornden Park. The first incident involved a female student who reported she was forcibly touched while walking through Thornden Park.

dailyorange.com

“They both look like web versions of the print editions. That was the No. 1 priority,” said Boilard, adding that the previous D.O. website lacked that feel.

Jared Novack, development director at Upstatement, said the firm was in constant contact with The D.O. during the summer. This allowed the firm, especially Boilard, to respond to the laundry list of specifications the newspaper wanted on its new website “It will live on Daily Orange servers,” Novack said. “So if an editor has an idea, they’re free to pursue it.”

College Publisher had to be contacted to carry out any changes on the old site.

Novack knows College Publisher well, as he worked at The D.O. from 2002 to 2006 in positions such as online editor, managing editor and editor in chief.

“We used College Publisher when I was

In the second incident, a male student was robbed by a group of six suspects at the entrance of the park, according to the email.

In the emails, DPS reminded students to take safety precautions such as not walking alone, traveling in well-lit areas, being aware of their surroundings and utilizing the free DPS escort services provided.

Providing a ride home to students found walking alone in off-campus neighborhood areas will be a main emphasis this semester, Callisto said.

Said Callisto: “As we start the academic year, we’ll refresh our focus on seeking out students who we find walking alone in off campus neighborhood areas.” jbundy@syr.edu

there and, unfortunately, it hasn’t changed much,” he said.

Dara McBride, editor in chief of the newspaper in fall 2011 and spring 2012, and Amrita Mainthia, managing editor in fall 2011, started talking about a new website last summer and came up with tentative ideas for it in the fall.

“We didn’t feel like we had enough freedom with what we wanted to do with the site,” McBride said.

That led to talks with Upstatement in February and at D.O. Palooza, The D.O.’s alumni weekend, in March. Shortly after, the idea was presented to The D.O. Board of Directors.

And Sunday, the website ? more than a year in the making ? was launched.

“It’s definitely an improvement over the old site and I hope the readers will be happy with it,” McBride said. jdharr04@syr.edu

SAFETY FIRST Due to recent incidents at Thornden Park, officers from the Department of Public Safety remind students to be cautious and alert around the park.

DPS recommends: • Walk in well-lit areas • Walk in groups of two or three • Stay out of the park after it closes at dark • Cross the street if approached by a suspicious group of people

The grass is greener ESF establishes no-mow zones on campus to increase sustainability

By Tedi Doychinova

S

STAFF WRITER

UNY-ESF will create no-mow zones on campus in order to help the college increase sustainability and reduce carbon emissions.

These no-mow zones consist of designated areas where the grass is not cut and meadows are instead allowed to grow, said Timothy Toland, associate professor in the Department of Landscape Architecture at the State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry.

“We are seeking ways to eliminate sources of carbon emissions and implement more environmentally friendly practices on campus,” Toland said.

Most students going to class, though, will not notice the difference, as the no-mow zones are located along the steep slopes on

the southern property line of Main Campus adjacent to Oakwood Cemetery, he said.

The no-mow zones are part of the Sustaining the Green Campus Master Plan, which reviews how the school is run and what could be done to make campus more sustainable as it grows physically and the university expands its student body, he said.

The switch was made because turf grass maintenance relies on gas-powered motors and is an energy-intensive process. The process is considered to be non-sustainable because of its heavy reliance on fossil fuels and the carbon emissions from their operation, Toland said.

Additionally, it is very time consuming for the Physical Plant and Facilities staff, which have a number of other tasks to attend to around campus.

ESF wanted to make the jobs of the Physical Plant and Facilities employees safer and easier. The no-mow zones are on steep slopes, making the job both difficult and dangerous for the employees.

“The college had already established policies that eliminated the use of chemicals for lawn care,” Toland said. “Eliminating turf grass in non-recreational areas was the next logical step.”

Areas like the ESF Quad, which is heavily recreational, will keep the turf grass, but areas without intensive use will cease to use it.

There have been two different approaches to revitalizing the landscape, Toland said.

“One was the establishment of a meadow behind John and Baker Labs using a northern wildflower meadow mix. The other approach was to simply stop mowing a hillside behind Bray and Marshall halls,” he said.

The benefits of no-mow zones are tremendous in the eyes of Toland, who said ESF will get the desired results of lowering carbon emissions as it tries to meet its goal of carbon neutrality.

“We will accrue financial benefits in that we will have lower fuel and oil expenditures, and we will have made the job of our Physical Plant staff safer and easier,” Toland said.

Toland said those worried that the unkempt areas might be unsightly are accustomed to societal expectations of turf grass and trees on college campuses, which is promoted by “traditional” lawn care companies.

“Nature has a beauty to it all its own that if one were to stop and pay attention to they would notice,” Toland said. tadoychi@syr.edu

A whole new world Students pursue passions, travel globe during summer vacation

F

By Anna Hider STAFF WRITER

or most students, summer is just a time to relax. But for others, this summer was more than just a time to hang out on a beach — it was life changing. Whether traveling halfway across the globe or staying closer to home, students from Syracuse University trekked to some exciting and exotic places during the summer break.

LONDON While watching the London Olympics on TV, Kylee Haggerty could say something that few other people outside England could: She had been at those stadiums right before the games began.

Haggerty, a junior sports management major, took an SPM 400 class last spring called “Olympic Odyssey.” The course explored the history of the Olympic games, and after the class finished, students had the chance to travel to various Olympic sites. She was one of 15 students who signed on for the European trip, which went from May 15 until June 1.

The students traveled to London for sightseeing and a tour around the new Olympic stadiums.

Their next stop was in Paris for a quick look at

what was left of the Olympic sites from the 1900 and 1924 games.

They also visited Lausanne, Switzerland, home of the International Olympic Committee.

There, Haggerty and the rest of the group were given the rare chance to have a meeting with an IOC executive and visit the Olympic museum.

The group of SU students was only one of three college groups to meet with the IOC, and the only group from the U.S. to do so.

“It’s been my dream to go to the IOC since high school,” Haggerty said. “It was cool to accomplish that.”

The last stop on the trip was in Greece, where the Olympics began. They spent time in Olympia, where the ancient Greek Olympics took place, and Athens, home of the 2004 Olympics.

Said Haggerty: “It was just a once-in-a-lifetime experience.”

MUMBAI, INDIA Spending the summer in Hollywood is a dream for film students, but a few spent the summer in Bollywood — the colorful and lively film capital of India — instead.

Start of school presents opportunity for changes in wardrobe, first impressions

G

ood morning, class. Let me teach you a thing or two about looking your best.

With a new school year beginning, there’s no better time to revamp your personal style. A killer wardrobe can help you start the year off right and provide a little relief from the looming stress the semester will bring.

When you think about reinvigorating your style, you may need a little inspiration.

Personally, my summer was pretty inspiring, fashion-wise. I spent it at an internship in New York City at the Museum of Modern Art, and it definitely affected the way I dressed.

Tim Gunn, my idol and a mentor to 10 seasons of “Project Runway” contestants, says in his book, “Gunn’s Golden Rules: Life’s Little Lessons for Making It Work,” “One of the things I love about New York City is how much people dress up for one another. Walking down the street is such a pleasure, because people are really turned out.” My aunt noticed this as well when she visited me in the city.

“Everyone looks so chic,” she commented as we walked down the street.

This aspect of city living was something I looked forward to and found both motivating and exhausting. For the first time in my life, I had to look both professional and presentable five days a week. A couple weeks into the summer, I realized I hadn’t worn my favorite jeans in over a month.

But getting done up every morning felt great.

It was a daily reminder that what I was doing was important and special. It made me feel grown up, confident and ready to take on the world.

If, like me, you enjoyed looking spiffy for an internship this summer, consider adding a touch of professionalism to your daily wear.

Obviously it’d be excessive to wear a suit to class everyday (props if you do though), but a stiff collar here and a shiny loafer there can provide just enough polish.

Even if your summer was nothing like mine, it can still provide you with some style inspiration. If you traveled, think about incorporating your destination’s fashion sense into your own wardrobe. Whether it’s a touch of Euro flair or

IAN SIMON-CURRY

don’t trust the trends some sun-kissed beach attitude, your wardrobe can reflect your summer adventures. A great trip is worth reliving, so use a unique item of clothing to bring back memories and show others what you did this summer.

Making new friends is a great part of starting a school year, and personal style can be a big part of that. Call it judgmental, but how a person is dressed says a lot about him or her. A distinct personal style can tell you about a person without words and can make a person stand out. I always appreciate when someone has strong personal style, even if it is nothing like my own. In my book, bad style is better than no style.

Think about playing with your look as a way to attract people’s interest while also making a statement about yourself. You never know when “I love that shirt” could lead to a great friendship.

The new school year holds such tantalizing potential. Now is the perfect time to explore and try new things, and fashion is a great way to do that. For freshman, this is doubly true. Between living away from your parents for the first time and being new in town, you’ve got the ideal situation in which to wear what you want and be who you want to be.

Here’s to a new school year and new beginning. I encourage you to take this opportunity to develop and enjoy your personal style, and use it as an extension of yourself. Can we make this year at Syracuse University more stylish than ever? I’m not sure, but let’s give it the old college try.

After the diploma

Every Monday in Pulp

Graham Douglass Editor’s note: After the diploma is a weekly series that will highlight alumni and their accomplishments.

The Meccas of theater are known throughout the world: Broadway in the heart of New York City, the West End district of foggy London, Steppenwolf Theater in windy Chicago. Avid fans of the art may feel their hearts beat faster at the mere mention of these areas.

It is unlikely that their heartbeats increase drastically at the mention of Kerrville, Texas.

It is this disconnect from the theatrical world that Texas native and Syracuse University 2009 alumnus Graham Douglass is seeking to address with his new show, “The Graham Show.”

The show premieres on Friday, Sept. 28, and will feature weekly interviews with various members of the theater world. The show will include 18 guest stars in its first season, including a variety of speakers from actors to Tony Award-winning producers, Graham said.

“The mission is to inspire and educate young adults about the theater,” Douglass said. “To bridge the gap between young theater aspirants that are outside of New York and have a strong passion and a love for theater but have no real connection to this community.”

Douglass hopes the interviews with his famous guests will allow viewers to see them in a different, more relatable light. The show gives a truthful look at the journey experienced by

those working in theater, and will allow viewers to see how similar their lives really are to the stars they admire, Douglass said.

While Douglass arrived at SU to study broadcast journalism in the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications, he transferred into the College of Visual and Performing Arts and received a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the theater department as an acting major.

After several years of following the acting bug, however, Douglass felt it was time for a change.

“It began to feel like that chapter of my life was coming to an end,” Douglass said. “I just felt like I was getting burned out.”

The change manifested itself with Douglass reaching back to his broadcast roots and producing his own show.

He credits the NEW 205: “News writing” class he took at SU as a source of inspiration for his eventual career path. When assigned to take a beat to report on for the duration of a semester project, Douglass contacted Chancellor Nancy Cantor and asked if she wouldn’t mind him shadowing her. The Chancellor obliged, and Douglass began his diligent reporting.

“I took a risk,” said Douglass, and added that the project made “a major impression and influence on me to want to continue pursuing this path.”

film major, knew she wanted an internship for the summer, but never dreamed she’d end up with one on the other side of the world.

After seeing a flyer for the Bollywood Snapshots internship program, she met with the head of the program. On May 18, Skipper and eight other SU students flew into Mumbai, India, to begin their program.

The students spent a week and a half taking classes at Whistling Woods International, a film school in Film City, the Mumbai equivalent of Hollywood. The two daily classes were designed to teach the American students about Bollywood, covering everything from yoga to Bollywood dancing, and the importance of music in Indian films.

Once Skipper and the rest of the group finished taking classes, she interned at an Indian TV production company called Carving Dreams Entertainment, where she did research and preproduction work for reality TV shows.

She traveled with her classmates to New Delhi, India, for a few days to relax and take in what the rest of India had to offer. They also went to Agra, India, and visited the Taj Mahal.

“They live differently than we do. You gain this whole different perspective on different ways of living,” Skipper said. “I can’t wait to go back and visit.”

WASHINGTON, D.C. Picnics are a summer staple, but it isn’t often that you get to meet the President of the United States at one.

Vincent Fang, who spent the summer in Washington, D.C. at an internship with the White House Initiative on Asian American and Pacific Islanders, was one of the lucky few who got to shake President Barack Obama’s hand at the Congressional White House picnic.

Fang, a senior political science and policy studies major, had time to prepare himself for his summer internship. In the spring, he had an internship in Washington, D.C. with the Asian Pacific American Institute for Congressional Studies. His mentor there helped him get the summer internship with the White House Initiative.

Fang spent his first few weeks of summer in New York City, taking a break from the grind of working in Washington, D.C. He returned to the nation’s capital in early June to begin his eight-week internship with the White House Initiative.

“It was the quickest eight weeks of my life,” Fang said. “There was never really a normal day.”

Over the course of the summer, Fang worked on a variety of projects, from writing newsletters to send out to senior staff members, to putting together a Regional Action Summit on Asian-American issues in Columbus, Ohio and

a whole lot of other work in between.

“The whole ‘9 to 5’ thing was a myth for us,” Fang said. “We worked from 9 until whenever we got our job done.”

There are benefits to spending a summer in Washington, D.C, even if you don’t have a lot of down time, Fang said. He watched three different fireworks shows from Washington, D.C., Maryland and Virginia, on a hill behind his apartment on the Fourth of July. He got a rare tour of the West Wing and, of course, met the president.

“There are no words to describe it,” said Fang, who was still in amazement long after his encounter with the president.

Fang knows that all the work he put into the internship was worth it; he was doing work that was making a difference in people’s lives.

“Being in D.C. for so long, you forget that people have real-life issues,” Fang said. “(The White House Initiative) listens to the community and brings it back to the government, so it was really great.”

DUBAI, UNITED ARAB EMIRATES Dubai, a rapidly growing Middle-Eastern city, is a dream for any engineering student. One of the city’s main features is the Burj Khalifa, the world’s tallest building.

Since his freshman year, Scott Anthes, a senior civil engineering major, prepared himself for a summer internship in Dubai. After being accepted into the civil engineering internship this summer, Anthes finally had the chance to go.

“They tell all the incoming civil engineers about it,” Anthes said. “It was one of the main reasons I decided to come to Syracuse in the first place. I’ve been working towards it for quite a few years.”

Anthes was one of six civil engineering students selected for the exclusive internship with Dubai Contracting Company, which lasted from May 23 to June 19.

For Anthes, the most unexpected part of Dubai was the mix of cultures brought in by the booming metropolis.

“It was a really cool mix of people,” Anthes said. “We liked to compare it to what the United States might have been like in the early 1900s when everyone was coming over.”

Despite weather that hit 120 degrees a few times, Anthes kept cool by visiting the Dubai Mall, the world’s largest mall. They also went on a desert safari, rode camels and visited some of Dubai’s nicest and most extravagant hotels.

The internship began with a few days of lectures about the company, but students also got to try more hands-on activities, including building a block wall to see what building is like from a worker’s perspective. Anthes said that they were able to help the company do tasks, such as assess the risk of moving a sewer line.

“They’re doing projects we wouldn’t even think of attempting here in America,” Anthes said. “It’s just a really exciting opportunity for an engineer.” amhider@syr.edu

Scottish scholars immerse in American culture

By Colleen Bidwill FEATURE EDITOR

Dec. 21, 1988.

For many, this date has no significance.

For most students on campus, it came before they were even born. For incoming freshmen just getting accustomed to college life, most, if not all, stare at that date without a flicker of acknowledgement.

But that date shouldn’t be forgotten. Not now, not ever, and two students have traveled many miles to remember it.

Each year since the fall of 1990, two graduating high school students from Lockerbie, Scotland spend one academic year at Syracuse University as “Lockerbie Scholars,” before they begin their university study.

But it all began with a flight on Dec. 21, 1988: Pan Am Flight 103. That day, the plane took off from the London Heathrow airport toward its destination of John F. Kennedy International Airport. The friends and family of 35 SU students anxiously awaited their return after a semester abroad in London or Florence.

The plane never made it.

Pan Am Flight 103 exploded and crashed into Lockerbie, a city in southern Scotland. It killed 11 people on the ground, as well as all the passengers and crew members. 189 of those were Americans, and until 9/11, Pan Am 103 was considered the deadliest act of terrorism on the U.S. From that day on, Lockerbie and SU would be connected. It’s something that Claire Dorrance realized, as she grew up hearing more and more

“I knew then that it was something I wanted to pursue and work towards. Not simply for the amazing opportunity that it is, but because it's living proof that good can come out of bad.”

from a first-hand account: her father. At the age of 18, he was the first and youngest off-duty police officer on the scene, an experience that “affected him greatly along with the majority of the town’s population.”

And while she claims that people in Lockerbie rarely talk about that night — the scar still runs very deep — a conversation was sparked on the first day of high school.

Every year at Lockerbie Academy, the town’s public high school, the new pupils are guided into their assembly hall and sit down for an induction. Then, the head teacher talks about the Syracuse-Lockerbie Scholarship — jointly funded by SU and the Lockerbie Trust — and how two of those sitting within the audience will be “Syracuse Scholars” one day, which is what they are called in Lockerbie.

“I knew then that it was something I wanted to pursue and work towards,” Dorrance said.

“Not simply for the amazing opportunity that it is, but because it’s living proof that good can come out of bad.”

Rachel Nicholson sat in the vicinity and recalled listening to this speech about something she “always wanted to aim to achieve.”

Despite an early conversation with her parents, it wasn’t until she started at the academy that she fully understood the effect it had on the town, people, and families and friends of the victims.

Nicholson, now a Lockerbie Scholar, believes the most important reasons for this are to raise awareness and remember the people who tragically lost their lives, in an effort to prevent future incidents.

Years later, Nicholson, who had been to Florida twice, and Dorrance, who had visited Walt Disney World three times, stepped into Syracuse. The two girls, who lived roughly 10 minutes from each other back in Scotland, were under the same roof for a few days. Arriving a few days before students were allowed to move on campus to get more settled in, they stayed at Eileen Fahey’s lake house.

Fahey, an administrative assistant in the Office of Undergraduate Studies, and Judy O’Rourke, director of the Office of Undergraduate Studies, helped the students adjust to the area and worked closely with the Lockerbie and Remembrance Scholars throughout the year.

During their experience so far, Syracuse has been a friendly and welcoming environment for the students.

Some ways to orient the Scottish girls included meeting with academic advisors, setting up bank accounts, getting mobile phones, going to SU Health Services and finding the best places to shop. Nicholson noted that the one suitcase of stuff she brought was not enough.

Looking ahead, she anticipates meeting a wide range of people and immersing herself in the American culture. Although she’s only been here for a short amount of time, the differences she’s spotted include the “confusing roads” and the ability to have a takeout box — usually Nicholson has to sneak things into her bag. Another apparent difference is the warm, sunny weather. Although it is a fleeting accessory at SU, Scotland’s summer lacked it.

For Dorrance, it’s hard to pick what she’s most looking forward to, but above all, sums it up to meeting new people.

“Although Lockerbie is home, it’s great to walk down the street here and no one have a clue as to who you are,” Dorrance said.

Lockerbie’s town motto stands as “move forward,” but the two girls are helping the campus to never forget. cbidwill@syr.edu

Teen comedy a step above with small town charm, quirky characters

W

By Jeff Wucher STAFF WRITER

e get it already. “Breaking Bad” is exhilarating. Who cares, right?

We’re all tired of hearing this: “You watching ‘Breaking Bad’?”

“No.” “Whoa. You gotta watch ‘Breaking Bad.’” Don’t get me wrong, it’s a fantastic show, but it’s also a heavy one. Sometimes I don’t want to watch the deterioration of a marriage. Sometimes I just want to watch dancers quip at each other. Cue: “Bunheads.”

ABC Family is hardly a haven for quality shows. “The Secret Life of the American Teenager” deserves only “hate-watching” for how absolutely awful it is, and I refuse to lock eyes with anything based on the idea of “Switched at Birth.” But surprise, surprise, the network’s “Bunheads” quickly became a cute and fun summer gem.

Michelle Simms, played by Broadway favorite Sutton Foster, is an ex-ballerina (‘bunhead,’ for those following along at home) who now works as a Vegas showgirl. Disappointed with the turn her life and career have taken, she impulsively marries longtime admirer and probable stalker Hubbel Flowers.

The two move to his quaint town, Paradise, where Michelle’s mother-in-law, Fanny, runs

a dance studio. Then, quite abruptly, Hubbel is killed in a car accident and Michelle is left alone to figure out her small-town life while helping out at Fanny’s dance studio.

OK, so the car crash isn’t exactly “light,” but the creators of “Bunheads” have a knack for fast and pop culture-laced dialogue. At one point, Michelle rallies around her students screaming, “No one takes Khaleesi’s dragons,” a “Game of Thrones” reference, for those who don’t know. If a gag or joke slips by, there are probably two or three more in the same sentence. It’s one of many similarities the show shares with the underrated “Gilmore Girls” by the same creator, Amy Sherman-Palladino.

Any fan of “Gilmore Girls” knows that the show’s greatest strength was its small-town charm. Stars Hollow had so many characters, quirks and troubadours that it was just a nice place to be for an hour every week, Lorelai’s conflicts aside.

“Bunheads” has no Stars Hollow, but Paradise is fast living up to its title. And in only 10 episodes, the show has filled itself out with a cast of memorable side characters. There’s Bash, the world champion coffee barista who examines every individual bean. The one-eyed plumber, Davis, who the entire town agrees not to use. The mercenary-like ballerina who is known only as “The Ringer.”

It can sound trite and cliché to reduce them to a single sentence of definition, but each of these characters puts the world of “Bunheads” just a little bit off-center. Right now they’re one-offs, in for an episode and gone, but Sherman-Palladino loves populating her world with these types. If the show continues, they’re sure to return.

I should also qualify the show as not really a “dancing show,” per se. Though the studio, and in particular four of its female students, centers the show, the song and dance numbers never dominate. Dance fans looking for talent will surely find it here, and the restriction of an hour keeps all the ballet tight, curt and modern.

I’m slowly realizing that I’m doing a lot of defending. “Bunheads,” at first glance, should not be a show worth watching — that could temper my arguments. Maybe the show merely exceeds some low-set expectations.

But there’s no getting beyond that smalltown feel that has been missing from TV for so long. Other shows can feel urgent, but “Bunheads” is relaxed. The quirky town of Paradise and all of its dancers made for some of the most enjoyable summer fare, some light TV to sit down to and take the edge off. You know, entertainment. jswucher@syr.edu

Walk raises money, awareness

By Diana Pearl ASST. COPY EDITOR

On Sunday, tall trees shielded the forming crowd from the sun at Onondaga Lake Park.

Flecks of sunlight still streamed through onto the grass, the wood gazebo and the people scattered throughout.

Clusters of people clumped together, each group donning its own T-shirt emblazoned with the team’s logo for the day’s occasion.

The scattered groups represented numerous body types, shapes and sizes. Yet they all had one common thread: a connection to or history with eating disorders.

Ophelia’s Place, a center for eating disorder and body image support and recovery in the Syracuse area, in partnership with the National Eating Disorders Association, hosted a one-mile walk at Willow Bay at Onondaga on Sunday.

Jodie Wilson-Dougherty, executive director of Ophelia’s Place, said the walk in Syracuse has been a long time coming.

After years of encouragement from NEDA, who frequently works with Ophelia’s Place,

sam mallor | contributing photographer JOLEENE DESROSIERS MOODY, former Central New York television reporter turned transformational speaker and author, shared her thoughts at Sunday’s walk. (BELOW) Jenni Chambers embraced her son Tommy. Tommy described illness as “a spiderweb.

Once you’re in, it’s hard to get out, like untangling a knot in your shoe.”

“This isn’t just a fundraiser, this is a friendraiser of people coming out to talk about eating disorders and say that they are not ashamed."

Lynn Grefe

CEO OF NEDA

Wilson-Dougherty and the Ophelia’s Place team put the plan into action after attending a conference in March 2012.

After months of planning, the event kicked off with a variety of speakers. Wilson-Dougherty made introductory remarks and the first to speak was Lynn Grefe, CEO of NEDA, who drove up from New York City for the event.

The fundraising goal was originally set for $5,000, but event organizers soon realized they could easily surpass that goal, Wilson-Dougherty said. They upped the goal to $20,000, and had reached and passed the goal by the afternoon of the walk, hitting more than $23,000.

More funds were raised from walkers who registered the day of the event.

Grefe stressed the purpose of the event: encouraging those suffering from or in recovery for eating disorders to not be ashamed and come together with one another.

“This isn’t just a fundraiser, this is a friendraiser of people coming out to talk about eating disorders and say that they are not ashamed,” Grefe said.

After the speakers concluded, the walkers took off along the designated gravel path. Along the walk, signs dotted the grass next to it, each sharing a fact about eating disorders and body image issues.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT OPHELIA’S PLACE The first National Eating Disorder Association walk was put on by Ophelia’s Place, a nonprofit organization dedicated to offering support and education to those affected by eating disorders. Ophelia’s Place is a fully operating cafe, complete with a full sandwich menu. It offers information and various resources to those struggling with disorders, including treatment recommendations and informative literature.

Ophelia’s Place was founded by Mary Ellen and Dan Clausen. The Clausens are the parents of two daughters with eating disorders. They founded the organization in 2002, starting in a donated classroom and moving into the 4,500-square-foot building in which it is currently located.

Location: 407 Tulip Street in Liverpool, N.Y. Phone: (315) 451-5544 Website: www.opheliasplace.org/index.html Hours: Monday-Friday 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., Saturday 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.

was in the eighth grade, led one of these groups.

“It was so wonderful to see such strong support for the cause and one united community,” Baker said. “It’s a great way to celebrate and promote eating disorder awareness.”

This semester, Baker is starting a body image group on campus called SHAPES. She said she felt that this event was a great kickoff to the start of the club.

Baker invited friends, family and members of her sorority, Alpha Gamma Delta, to walk with her.

Eilish Mitchell, a 2012 alumnus and member of AGD, returned to Syracuse to participate in the walk to support Baker.

“This is an issue that needs to be spoken about,” Mitchell said. “I know Colleen is passionate about this, so I wanted to come back to support her.”

Among the walkers were Tommy Chimber, a victim of eating disorders, and his mother, Jennifer Dulicha-Chimber. Both spoke before the walk began.

Chimber began his speech by stating that although eating disorders are normally associated with women, men are still affected. Chimber said that the support he received from family, friends and peers at school was a great help during his recovery.

“People I didn’t know were on my side, were on my side,” Chimber said. “There’s always people by your side to help get you out of anything.” dspearl@syr.edu

Defensive breakdowns in 2nd half cost Orange in loss to Washington

By Josh Hyber STAFF WRITER

Allowing set plays to enter the box close to the Syracuse goal was the Achilles’ heel for WASHINGTON 2 the Orange on Sunday. SU allowed two Washington SYRACUSE 1 second-half goals on shots from inside the box.

Syracuse sophomore forward Alexis Koval scored at the 26:24 mark of the first half as the team outshot the Huskies 7-2 early on. Despite strong play throughout the game, two defensive lapses in the second half resulted in two Huskies goals in the Orange’s 2-1 loss.

“They served a lot more dangerous balls into the box,” head coach Phil Wheddon said. “Our marking on both goals was poor. The goal was open at the back post on one of them. We’ve got to do a better job at being more organized.”

Syracuse’s defensive shape remained steady despite coming off two overtime matches, one on Friday against Albany. Wheddon said after Friday’s game he was worried about the team’s energy level for Sunday, but he said it wasn’t a lack of stamina that led to Washington’s goals.

“I was worried that they were going to be tired, but I thought we battled,” Wheddon said.

“I thought our defenders were fantastic for the most part. …They battled through everything. I was really, really impressed with them.”

Wheddon said he was particularly pleased with junior defenders Rachel Blum and defender Jackie Moriarty. The pair, along with midfielder Rosina Callisto, broke up numerous WU attempts to get the ball into their offensive zone, especially early in the second half.

Like in Friday’s match against Albany, forward Hanna Strong came into the game after 25 minutes and had an immediate effect. Strong got her foot on a ball and sent a pass to midfielder Jackie Firenze. Firenze then sent a lead pass over the top of the defense to Koval, who created enough space to fire a shot into the net.

Syracuse’s midfield has kept up its high level of play through the team’s first three games of the season. The midfielders are creating numerous scoring opportunities, whether it’s the starters or the substitutes. Strong and

freshmen forwards Maya Pitts and Erin Simon have all made contributions off the bench.

While the offense couldn’t find the back of the net, the defense and goalkeeping kept the

“Unfortunately they scored on a set piece. Our marking in the box wasn’t the best, so that let us down.”

SU HEAD COACH

team in the game.

Anghel turned aside the two shots she faced in the first half, highlighted by a spectacular save on Washington forward Brittany Archer from point-blank range.

Like Friday, Syracuse could not hold its lead.

Washington’s Stine Schoening received a pass from Jaclyn Softli and beat Anghel with a shot 18 minutes into the second half. Anghel robbed WU’s Sami Page on the doorstep moments later.

Eleven minutes later, WU’s Lindsay Elston found Isabel Farrell open near the back post.

Farrell put a shot past Anghel, putting the Huskies in front 2-1.

“I think we kept our shape, and it really just came down to set pieces and staying with our marks in the box,” Koval said. “We just have to work on defensive free kicks and marking in the box. I feel like we can take this game and grow from it. We didn’t do badly with our possession or even with our defensive shape, so it can only go up from here.”

SU looks to correct its defensive lapses Friday at St. Bonaventure, where the natural grass surface of McGraw-Jennings Field may cause difficulties for the SU players.

“I thought for the most part we did a very, very good job at creating opportunities. Again, we outshot them and had more opportunities off of set pieces than they did,” Wheddon said. “Unfortunately, they scored on a set piece. Our marking in the box wasn’t the best, so that let us down.” jmhyber@syr.edu

Syracuse sweeps 3 games to take Colgate Classic title The Syracuse women’s volleyball team took home the Colgate Classic crown this past weekend, sweeping its three matches.

The Orange defeated Illinois-Chicago on Friday, followed by victories over Bryant and Colgate on Saturday. SU needed five sets to beat UIC 3-2, jumping out to an 8-0 lead in the final set before winning 15-9. Nicolette Serratore and Samantha Clarey combined for seven kills to lead Syracuse to the 3-2 (25-13, 24-25, 18-25, 25-21, 15-9) win.

SU opened the second day with a 3-1 (21-25, 26-25, 25-14, 25-21) win over Bryant. Clarey led Syracuse with a career-high 18 kills. Sophomores Andrea Fisher and Serratore totaled 29 kills.

The Orange lost to Bryant in the first set 25-21 and nearly fell behind by two sets, but Clarey

came through with a kill when SU was trailing 25-24, and an ace to lock up a 26-25 set victory.

Syracuse then defeated Colgate 3-1 (25-20, 26-28, 25-19, 25-19) in the second match of the day.

Fisher had 13 digs to go with her 18 kills and Serratore had 16. Clarey had nine kills. Senior middle blocker Samantha Hinz had four blocks and one solo block on defense. Junior Lindsay McCabe had six blocks while sophomore defensive specialist Melina Violas had 16 digs, tying her career-high.

Syracuse hits the road next weekend for the Bluejay Invitational to take on Creighton in Omaha, Neb. The tournament begins on Friday at 6 p.m.

Conditioning program helps SU to victory

By Nick Toney ASST. COPY EDITOR

Tony Asante didn’t have time to catch his breath. Thirty seconds after he raced down the right sideline, he was sprinting downfield again.

Louis Clark had poked SYRACUSE 2 the ball away from an ALBANY 0 Albany defender and regained possession just outside the 18-yard box. Instead of rifling a shot from that spot, Clark found Asante, who made a late dash in the box, trapped the ball and scored the team’s second goal.

“I think the whole team knows what it means to be in soccer shape,” said Asante about his goal. “We’re in better soccer shape now.”

It showed on Friday night at SU Soccer Stadium in the Orange’s 2-0 win over Albany to open up its season. Syracuse played aggressively and blew by Albany defenders, seized open looks and got off clean strikes on goal. The team outshot the Great Danes 22-7.

Those clean looks were the effects of a

“It’s great to see us score these types of goals.

Some of our fresh faces from last season have a year under their belts now, and they know what it takes to win when Big East play comes around.”

Ian McIntyre SU HEAD COACH

revamped conditioning program. Asante said the team rededicated itself to entering this season in top shape, and after an offseason of training, it’ll be a better offensive team in 2012.

That’ll be key for Syracuse to improve on its win total from a season ago. SU won just three of its 16 games in 2011, and each of its 12 losses was by only one goal.

Head coach Ian McIntyre said he thinks the team’s conditioning and its focus on starting the season in game-ready shape will prepare the Orange to win those close contests this time around.

“It’s great to see us score these types of goals,” McIntyre said. “Some of our fresh faces from last season have a year under their belts now, and they know what it takes to win when Big East play comes around.”

That leadership is key for a team that wants to rebound in 2012. There are five sophomores on SU’s roster, and McIntyre said each one came into this season with a new understanding about conditioning.

“We know we had to come back in better shape,” said sophomore defenseman Jordan Murrell. “The offseason conditioning program really helped us out.”

andrew renneisen | photo editor LOUIS CLARK dribbles at the Albany defense Friday night. Clark logged 64 minutes as the Orange won 2-0. Syracuse outshot Albany 22-7.

SU wasn’t winded on Friday night and it helped. Albany had a distinct size advantage with eight players taller than 6 foot 2, and that made it hard for passes to go over the top.

The Orange went around the Great Danes instead of through them. Early in the second period, freshman midfielder Stefanos Stamoulacatos had an effective give-and-go pass after accelerating into open space. And late in the game, sophomore forward Grant Chong darted by defenders to set up another attack.

Even with less than three minutes left, Clark followed up Chong’s hustle play with one of his own. The senior forward trapped

the ball in front of the SU bench and then cut to the middle of the field. Three Albany players tried to stab the ball away, but Clark kept the ball close as he distanced himself from defenders.

He had a wide-open shot but missed wide left.

SU didn’t score on every opportunity, but the chances it did have were created by its own speed.

McIntyre said SU is in better shape to showcase that speed this season.

“You’d like more shots to go in, but you’re encouraged that you’re taking them,” McIntyre said. “I think we’re in better shape to do that.” nctoney@syr.edu

Balanced scoring attack propels Orange

By Adelyn Biedenbach CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Standing in a straight line and swinging clasped hands to the tune of the national anthem, the Syracuse prepared for its home opener against Ohio.

United on the field SYRACUSE 6 before the game, the team OHIO 0 connection translated to the field as five different Orange players found the back of the net in the team’s victory.

“Everybody is just happy for each other’s success, there’s not a real greed factor and you can see that in our scoring,” SU head coach Ange Bradley said. “We’re balanced in the way we attack, finish and we play really good team hockey.”

That style of play led to an easy 6-0 win over the Bobcats at J.S. Coyne Stadium Sunday. Freshman midfielder Gillian Pinder scored the first two goals of her collegiate career toward the end of the second half to seal the win for the Orange.

The Syracuse offense outshot Ohio 27-4 total as it won it’s won its first two games of the season. SU took a 3-0 lead into halftime and went ahead by five goals just five minutes into the second half.

Pinder, an Ireland native, played with poise in just her second collegiate game and benefited from the crisp performance by the SU offense.

With two unassisted goals in the second half, Pinder’s shots came from the center of the attacking circle and off of a blocked shot.

She is one of seven freshmen to join the lineup this fall and one of eight players born outside of the United States. Aside from a balance scoring effort, Syracuse’s roster is filled with players from five different countries who all bring unique skillsets to the Orange’s offense.

Freshman Emma Russell, who is also from Ireland, said the wide range of backgrounds increases Syracuse’s pace of play.

“It just brings the whole team into better shape and makes our game better,” Russell said.

“It’s a strong point of Syracuse.”

Using that chemistry and conditioning, the Orange dominated a Bobcats team it expected to put up a fight. Ohio went 19-5 and won the MidAmerican Conference in 2011.

But the team was no match for the Orange Sunday.

“From what the other girls were saying, they are a tough team, they are physical and they are going to make it difficult for us,” Pinder said.

SCORING BARRAGE Five different players found the back of the net in Syracuse’s 6-0 win over Ohio Sunday. The Orange scored three goals in the first half, and three in the second.

Ange Bradley

SU HEAD COACH

“So, I mean, having such a convincing victory … makes it easier to move on throughout the season.

“We’ve got big games coming up.”

The Orange plays No. 2 North Carolina Saturday. The Tar Heels fell in the NCAA championship game to Maryland last season and it will be SU’s first big test of the season.

“I think UNC next weekend is going to be a huge thing for the team, to be able to build from today up to next week,” said Russell. “I think it is going to be a great experience for all the new girls to be able to play such a big game.”

The team will also face eight regular season opponents ranked in the top 25 of the NFHCA preseason poll as well as other adjustments as a team.

“Learning what each individual player around me likes to do and be able to work off them would be the biggest adjustment, but the heat still tops it,” Pinder said.

The contribution of the group and the benefits of its diversity were on display Sunday.

And it will likely be crucial to the Orange’s success the rest of the season.

“We’re global, we’re a diverse organization, and it’s really fun to put individual differences together to become one strong unit,” Bradley said. albieden@syr.edu

he is back on the inside for the start of the 2012 season. Jay Bromley, who was limited during preseason camp due to a sprained ankle, will start at nose tackle. * Ivan Foy earned the starting nod at right guard over Rob Trudo, though that spot was among the ones with an “OR” listed next to it.

Marrone said whether or not the “OR” comes off is based on performance. Neither Foy nor Trudo has ever played in a game for the Orange.

Lou Alexander will start at right tackle, but Marrone said the senior still has improvements to make before he’s at the level the team needs him to be at. * Beckett Wales earned the starting spot at tight end over David Stevens. Both Marrone and quarterback Ryan Nassib have said Wales is a similar player to Nick Provo, who graduated in May. Freshman Ron Thompson would also have seen considerable time on the field, but he continues to battle nagging injuries suffered in training camp. * Brandon Reddish and Ri’Shard Anderson will be the starting cornerbacks, while Shamarko Thomas will start as strong safety and Jeremi Wilkes will be the free safety.

While not all the starting spots are settled, Marrone said the players listed on the depth chart are expected to play.

“We’re not hiding anything. The kids that are listed on this depth chart and ones with an ‘OR’ are the ones we expect to play,” Marrone said. “If they play, they play. If they don’t play, it’s not because we didn’t feel comfortable about putting them in a game.” cjiseman@syr.edu

Orange offense clicks in 1st victory of season over Albany

By Trevor Hass STAFF WRITER

After an Albany own goal in the 50th minute gave Syracuse a one-goal lead, Louis Clark did everything in his power to give the Orange a much-needed insurance goal.

Clark brought the ball SYRACUSE 2 downfield and found an ALBANY 0 open Lars Muller. Muller generated space and delivered a strike to a streaking Tony Asante. Asante steadied himself and tactfully placed the ball past the outstretched right arm of goalie Tim Allen.

The goal gave Syracuse some breathing room en route to its season-opening 2-0 win over the Great Danes in front of a record 1,581 fans at SU Soccer Stadium. The Orange is 4-1-1 against Albany all time and has now won seven of its last eight home openers.

Coming off a rough three-win season, the win Friday gives Syracuse confidence to start off its 2012 campaign.

“It was brilliant to get a goal of our own, one that wasn’t an own goal,” Clark said. “I thought it gave us the confidence that we needed.”

The goal was the first of Asante’s SU career.

A former star at Monroe College, the Ghanaborn forward made his mark in the first game of the season.

“When Louis got the ball and Lars made the run, I knew he was going to give it to Lars,” Asante said. “As soon as Lars got it, I was wide open, so I called for the ball and he gave it to me.”

Head coach Ian McIntyre subbed Clark, Muller, Asante and freshman midfielder Stefanos Stamoulacatos into the game in the 60th minute and the tempo changed immediately.

The group brought a sense of urgency and precision and created plenty of scoring opportunities. Asante missed a good chance to score less than a minute before his eventual goal, but was ready when the time came.

“In soccer, you’re going to get chances and you’re going to miss some and you’re going to make some,” Asante said. “As soon as you

miss, you’re hoping you’re going to get the next one. And we did get it.”

Syracuse controlled the pace of the game and maintained the ball with regularity. The Orange outshot the Danes 22-7 and attempted 11 corner kicks compared to two for Albany.

“I felt that we were in control of the game,” McIntyre said. “However, we’ve been on the other end of these games, so to keep the ball and to get rewarded for our play was great.”

Though he only faced two shots on goal, freshman goalie Alex Bono posted a shutout in his collegiate debut. The No. 1 recruit in New

“As soon as you miss, you’re hoping you’re going to get the next one. And we did get it.”

SU FORWARD

York state calmly thwarted the few opportunities the Danes had and played with poise and intensity.

Bono played his first game in front of the largest crowd in SU soccer history. The record surpassed the previous high of 1,493 in the season opener against Notre Dame in 1996. “(The fans) were unbelievable,” Clark said.

“They’re like a 12th man out there.”

After a 3-12-1 campaign last year, the season opener gave hopeful fans something to cheer about.

Syracuse got off to a slow start in the first half, as its shots sailed wide or over the top of the goal.

In the eighth minute, Stamoulacatos drove a shot toward the box, but the ball went to the right and out of bounds.

Another chance came in the 28th minute, when Muller received a lob and tapped it to Ted Cribley. Cribley made a move and

The players’ efforts were finally rewarded in the 50th minute when a Ben Ramin throw ricocheted off Albany defender Philip Persson and into the net for an own goal. It wasn’t the sharp, definitive goal that Syracuse was looking for, but it gave the team an edge that would prove to be the difference.

The offense clicked at just the right time. The chemistry on the field translated to a critical insurance goal that gave the Orange a win and some momentum going forward.

“When they get the ball,” Asante said, “all you’ve got to do is make your run and they’ll find you.” tbhass@syr.edu

Stiver, stingy SU defense record shutout against Ohio

By Phil D’Abbraccio STAFF WRITER

Leann Stiver was rarely tested in the cage Sunday. The suffocating Syracuse defense intercepted numerous Ohio SYRACUSE 6 passes and constantly OHIO 0 pressured the Bobcats into turnovers.

Stiver only faced three shots on goal, but when Ohio did threaten, she was ready to make the stop.

“The less I have to touch the ball, the happier I am,” Stiver said. “There were few times I had to step up.

“I’m glad we had a pretty strong defense in front of me.”

Stiver and the Orange recorded their first shutout of the season, a 6-0 win over Ohio, on Sunday in front of 293 at J. Stanley Coyne Stadium. SU outshot Ohio 27-4 as the defense set up a scoring outburst for the offense. The victory, which was Stiver’s 13th career shutout, extended the team’s winning streak at home to 29 games.

The SU backline, led by Iona Holloway and Laura Hahnefeldt, controlled the Ohio attack, repeatedly denying the Bobcats’ opportunities in the offensive zone.

THE BEST OFFENSE IS A GOOD DEFENSE

In a 6-0 win over Ohio on Sunday, the Orange posted its first shutout of the season thanks in large part to its defense. Here’s a look at the shot chart: TEAM

“Our defense starts with our front and our forwards did a nice job of closing lines,” SU head coach Ange Bradley said. “They all really stepped up well.”

The game was a defensive battle early in the first half with neither team scoring until SU midfielder Leonie Geyer found the back of the net off a penalty corner just more than 15 minutes into the game.

Sophomore Jordan Page and junior Anna Crumb gave SU a 3-0 lead at halftime. The Orange jumped out to a five-goal lead five minutes into the second half. Freshman Gillian Pinder scored Syracuse’s last two goals, with the final score of the game coming in the 60th minute.

“I thought we started strong and finished strong,” Bradley said.

By Pinder’s second goal, SU was already cruising behind its dominant defense.

After the Orange came up with one of their many intercepted passes in the second half, Ohio head coach Neil Macmillan threw his hands up in frustration along the sideline.

The Bobcats couldn’t break through against Stiver and the Orange defense, which Bradley said was focused on playing for all 70 minutes.

After relenting “a silly goal” during Friday’s win at Monmouth, the head coach was pleased with the unit’s performance Sunday.

Holloway was relentless in the backfield.

With eight minutes left in the game, her tough defense during a two-on-two forced a shot that Stiver saved with her blocker.

“We were really disappointed we let in one goal against Monmouth,” Holloway said. “We love a shutout at Coyne and we’re really happy we came away with that.”

Stiver, Holloway and the SU defense set the tone for an experienced team with championship aspirations.

“We’re looking to go completely undefeated on this field this year,” Stiver said. “It’s just an amazing feeling to step out here and take the first step in that path.” pmdabbra@syr.edu

games.

Brennan Van Spankeren, a freshman from Chicago, Ill., proudly announced that he bought season tickets. He also plans to attend every home game.

“I think everyone’s excited for the football season to kick off and we were just talking about how it’s nice when football season begins and the weather changes,” Van Spankeren said. “It’s just a nice time of the year.”

He did share a laugh with O’Shea, though, when asked to predict the score of the Orange’s matchup with No. 1 Southern California at MetLife Stadium on Sept. 8.

SU’s season will likely be defined by the other 11 games on its regular-season schedule, but students have trouble looking past what is sure to be the sternest test Marrone’s team will face this season.

Most students hoped for a good showing that might put a scare in the Trojans.

Yet freshman Ben Levenson sees a greater importance in the matchup.

“They got Matt Barkley who’s probably going to win the Heisman,” Levenson said.

“But you know, playing USC, they’re only going to get better.”

Improvement in the Orange’s last season in the Big East will also be key. A winning season would allow SU to build the program

“Same as last year, probably not going to be that good. Because they haven’t been good in a long time.”

into an ACC power, Levenson said.

Senior Annie Licata pointed toward last year’s upset of then-No. 11 West Virginia as part of an upward trend in the program’s trajectory. Marrone’s biggest win in his first three seasons at the helm was a memorable game for Licata, who held bragging rights over a friend who attends WVU. But the game wasn’t enough to get Licata to follow the team any more closely. She said a monumental upset over the Trojans is required for her to consider tuning into Orange football regularly.

Said Licata: “I might become an SU football fan. Maybe.” jnklinge@syr.edu

Syracuse fails to capitalize on scoring opportunities in loss

By Jack Truitt

CONTRIBUTING WRITER

For 45 minutes, Syracuse was in complete control. The Orange repeatedly attacked Washington’s goal and rejected any ball Washington tried to bring into its box.

But when the game WASHINGTON 2 ended, the Orange sufSYRACUSE 1 fered a frustrating 2-1 loss.

“The feeling is the team right now feels like they were robbed a little bit,” said SU head coach Phil Wheddon. “They finished and we didn’t, we’ve got to learn.”

A crowd of 357 watched the Orange (1-1-1) lose its first game of the season. The opening few minutes foreshadowed what was to come in the second half, with Washington controlling the tempo early. Then, Cecilia Borgstom took a shot at the Washington goal before her teammates followed suit as the SU offense outshot the Huskies 7-2 in the first half.

But the Orange’s offensive effort fell short.

In the 27th minute, the Huskies’ defense broke when Alexis Koval scored her first goal of the season off of a cross played by Hanna Strong.

With the score 1-0, the Orange only got more aggressive and took shot after shot. Meanwhile, the best Washington could muster was long through balls, which often lead to turnovers.

When the second half kicked off, Washington

again took control. This time, there was no offensive surge by the Orange.

Instead, the Huskies had the firepower. After 15 minutes of back-and-forth play in the middle

“The team right now feels like they were robbed a little bit. They finished and we didn’t, we’ve got to learn.”

Phil Wheddon

SU HEAD COACH

of the pitch, Washington found the net in the 63rd minute with a goal from Stine Schoening.

“I think Washington actually upped their game in the second half, they moved the ball quicker, they were more dangerous, more mobile up front,” Wheddon said. “Washington is a very good team and they’re well-coached. I give them credit for coming back into the game.”

With the Washington offense finding its groove, goalie Kari Davidson made a spectacular save in the 70th minute, only to deflect another shot a few seconds later off the rebound.

Those close calls might have been the last chance SU had to win the game, as Isabel Farrel

scored a few minutes later to put the Huskies ahead for good. For the rest of the game, Syracuse’s offense shut down.

The Orange never got a shot off in the final 10 minutes of the game.

Hope flickered for a moment when it looked as though an SU player was fouled in the box.

But play continued on, to the dismay of the crowd.

With the clock winding down, the Orange continued to try to create opportunities with the ball, but never managed to do so.

Despite the loss, Wheddon said he still feels confident about his team.

“I feel great about my team. We’re a young team,” Wheddon said. “I’m excited about where we are. We had talked about it, about continuing the way we had started, so we were really comfortable in what we were doing.”

Washington took five shots to SU’s 11, but capitalized on those opportunities while the Orange failed to on theirs.

“I think they countered on our lack of making mistakes in the back,” said SU midfielder Hanna Strong. “We had good opportunities, none of our shots were way off so I think we should’ve put those in the back of the net.”

Alexis Koval, who scored the lone goal for SU, said Washington created better scoring opportunities.

“Our shots were surrounded with five of

their players and, for them, they were wide open so they had the advantage with those,” Koval said.

Washington beat the Orange with set plays ? something Koval said the team needs to improve on defending moving forward.

Said Koval: “It comes down to set pieces and that’s one of our weaknesses and we got to step it up there and work on that in practice.” jstruitt@syr.edu

SU depth chart set for opener

By Chris Iseman ASST. SPORTS EDITOR

When Doug Marrone released his two-deep depth chart Saturday, he was adamant that nothing was definitive. Players who aren’t listed could still see time on the field and could even earn starting spots.

Seven different spots also have an “OR” listed beside them, indicating ongoing position battles leading up to Syracuse’s season opener against Northwestern on Sept. 1.

“All the other ones that are listed as ORs, those are people that we feel that we can play,” Marrone said. “No one’s really separated himself.”

Marrone repeated that sentiment throughout preseason camp. Players at multiple positions on both sides of the ball had yet to step up and grab a starting spot by the final week of camp.

Among the most notable starters named was running back Jerome Smith, who was one of five players competing for the starting spot. Marrone said his decision ultimately came down to Smith’s previous game experience and his performance in training camp.

Prince-Tyson Gulley, who missed the final eight games of last season with a broken collarbone, will serve as Smith’s backup.

“I just think consistency. He’s done it more than everyone else,” Marrone said. “I think Prince has had a really nice camp. I think he’s done a nice job. … We’ll see how it goes from week to week and how they perform.”

Smith played behind 1,000-yard rusher Antwon Bailey last season, and ran for 134 yards and one touchdown on 37 carries. He also beat out

Marrone said he expects Broyld to see time on the field. The 6-foot-4, 229-pound Broyld could also line up in the slot, and also worked on taking direct snaps in a wildcat formation during training camp.

While battles for playing time continue at some spots, several competi-

tions did reach a conclusion Saturday: * Marquis Spruill will start at strong-side linebacker, earning the starting spot over Dan Vaughan.

Spruill played in the middle last season, where he recorded 62 tackles and three sacks. Vaughan was the secondleading tackler on the team with 72 stops and a sack. Siriki Diabate will start in the middle, and Dyshawn

“I was kind of disappointed with

the student section because they left midway through the game,” O’Shea said.

lousness toward a team that dropped its last five games and finished at the bottom of the Big East in 2011.

“I expect them to be the same as they’ve been for the past three years,” senior Jocelyn Freed said. “So-so.”

She said she expects the team to finish the season 6-6, which would make the team bowl-eligible for the first time since 2010 when the Orange beat Kansas State 36-34 in the inaugural New Era Pinstripe Bowl to cap an 8-5 season.

SU has made two bowl appearances in the past 10 seasons. Before the Pinstripe Bowl, the Orange’s last bowl game came against Georgia Tech on Dec. 21, 2004. The Yellow Jackets won

51-14.

Most fans said they would be satisfied by a return to postseason play.

But SU took a step back last year and the struggles have taken a toll on campus optimism.

“Same as last year, probably not going to be that good,” sophomore Jake Marlowe said. “Because they haven’t been good in a long time.”

Though the Orange won the Pinstripe Bowl two years ago, he said losing the game would have been “sad.” Marlowe did not buy season tickets this season but he said he does plan on attending two or three
