magine a college course with none of the trappings: no lecture hall, no notebook and, in most cases, no tuition and no credits.

These are massive open online courses, or MOOCs, and they may play a starring role in the future of higher education.

Syracuse University has offered two MOOCs so far, both through the

School of Information Studies: “New Librarianship” and “Introduction to Data Science.” SU is currently not offering MOOCs this semester.

Most MOOCs are completely free, though in some cases students can pay a fee or do extra work to receive credit or certification. Some MOOCs limit enrollment to make group discussion sizes more manageable, but the “massive” component ensures

Parents of deceased student address rumors

By Annie Palmer ASST. NEWS EDITOR

Nearly a week after Emma Wozny died, parents Linda DeWolfe Wozny and Michael Wozny have decided to publicly address the conditions surrounding their daughter’s death.

“We got the impression from peo-

ple in our town and also from the local newspaper that they immediately assumed that she died from a drug overdose,” Linda DeWolfe Wozny said. “They should be stating what the police officers have said, which is that it is undetermined and under examination. We know that there are

a number of possibilities.”

Emma Wozny, a junior psychology and neuroscience major, died Sept. 2 at her family’s home in Verona, N.J. She was a staff writer at The Daily Orange and spent a semester abroad in Spain with the SU Madrid program in fall 2012.

Linda DeWolfe Wozny and her husband speculate that Emma’s death may have been caused by an eating disorder from which she suffered since middle school, she said.

After talking to her doctors, Emma’s mother said they believed she was

Professor investigates lead poisoning, race link

By Brett Samuels STAFF WRITER

A Syracuse University professor is conducting a study to look at the relationship between race, lead exposure and the potential risk for heart disease.

Brooks Gump, who is leading the study, said he did a study with a similar idea about 12 years ago. The original study, he said, looked at the connection between socioeconomic status, lead exposure and the risk of

heart disease.

Now, Gump, a professor in the Department of Public Health, Food Studies and Nutrition, said he wanted to do a similar study with race as a factor.

“We know African-Americans are at higher risk for certain types of heart disease like hypertension, and we know on average they have higher levels of lead than Anglo-Americans,” Gump said.

He said the study will test the

hypothesis pointing to lead as the cause of these differences.

The National Institutes of Health awarded Gump a $1.8 million grant to test 300 kids during the next four years, he said.

The kids will be 9, 10 and 11 years old — the same ages used for his previous study on socioeconomic status, Gump added.

Kevin Heffernan, an assistant professor in the Department of Exercise Science, is also involved in the study.

Heffernan said he is performing tests looking at a carotid artery on the participants in this study. He looks at the thickness and stiffness of the artery, and how mental stress affects blood flow to the brain.

All those help indicate, Heffernan said, whether the kids could be at risk for heart disease in the future.

Gump said the 300 kids are from areas with a wide range of lead exposure. Half the test subjects will be

Buddhist monk to speak about world hunger, sustainable production

By Alfred Ng ASST. NEWS EDITOR

On Monday, an American Buddhist monk, who is on the forefront in the fight against world hunger, will be speaking at Syracuse University as part of a Syracuse Symposium series.

Bhikkhu Bodhi will speak on issues surrounding world hunger and how people can help end it, said Jikyo Bonnie Shoultz, the Buddhist

chaplain at Hendricks Chapel. The event, called “Engaged Buddhism: Listening and Responding to World Hunger,” will be hosted at Hendricks at 5:30 p.m., she said.

Bodhi founded the Buddhist Global Relief, an organization based on Buddhist principles that works to fight chronic hunger and malnutrition, Shoultz said. The organization funds global projects such as provid-

ing a meals program for children in Haiti, free meals for hospital patients in Vietnam and improving food production in Ethiopia, according to the organization’s website.

Bodhi is also recognized for being the foremost translator of Buddhist text from its native language to English, Shoultz said.

“He’s never been here before and he probably won’t be again because

of his stature as this Buddhist monk who’s done so much,” she said. “It’s rare for us to have the opportunity to hear somebody like that.”

Shoultz compared Bodhi’s upcoming visit to the Dalai Lama’s visit to SU last year, saying he exuded the same compassionate responses to global issues as the Dalai Lama did.

His speech will discuss creating sustainable production, flaws in

the current global food system and major shifts concerning ecology and agriculture, according to documents Hendricks provided.

“He’s not taking the position that our major job is to provide food, so much as our major job is to provide people, and interrupt the global system that denies food to so many people,” Shoultz said.

Seniors should consider exploring emerging technology hubs for future jobs

O

ther than a diploma, a proficiency in technology is one of the biggest assets today’s recent graduates are leaving college with. This is a huge advantage in today’s job market because all over the country, technology hubs are emerging everywhere, from North Dakota to Texas.

And these hubs happen to be some of the best places for recent graduates to find jobs, especially in the technology sector.

With tech-geared programs offered in many of the home colleges, Syracuse University students are well-versed on the advantages that the current technology trend presents them with.

But there is another trend, more of a problem really, that SU students cannot seem to shake: Many of them desire employment in New York City, hindering their chances of even looking out West.

No one can deny New York City of its glory. Being one of the biggest technology hubs in the country, a home to many SU students and holding the title, “the city that never sleeps,” it is pretty clear where the infatuation comes from.

The unclear part is why SU students contemplate New York City as a realistic place

BR AM BERKOWITZ

digitally affected to live.

The national unemployment rate has dropped to 7.3 percent recently, the lowest in nearly five years. However, this rate is highly over exaggerated, especially for recent SU alumni in New York City.

According to a September 2013 PayScale report, the typical starting salary after graduation for SU alumni is $47,000. New York City rent averages over $3,000 a month; meaning that in one year, you could spend $36,000 on rent.

Combining the rent price with the $1.2 trillion that students have accumulated in college debt, and the fact that you have to eat once in a while, you better hope that mom and dad have the platinum card ready.

This is why, contrary to the beliefs of many SU students, North Dakota and Texas are sound alternatives to New York City.

For example, North Dakota, the fourth least populated state in the United States, had a surplus during the heart of the financial recession two years ago. Then, with the oil boom in North Dakota, there was an increased demand for technology jobs, especially for petroleum engineers. All of the tech workers in North Dakota were making an average hourly wage of $47, according to CNN, and this was two years ago.

Now, most students at SU would blatantly tell you they would not work in North Dakota for $1 million a year. However, a place like Austin, Texas, with its sizzling barbecue might be more appealing.

According to the Austin Technology Council, one-third of the city’s jobs are tech-related. Bigger companies such as Dell, IBM, Amazon, Cisco, GM and Facebook have offices in the city. On top of this, Austin has tons of festivals every year showcasing the newest technologies and a booming entrepreneurial community.

Together, the people who got caught up in the dot-com bubble and the programmers and engineers emerging from major universities such as the University of Texas have revived the city. This combination of young talent

and business experience has made Austin an ideal spot for young entrepreneurs.

Andy Sernovitz, CEO of SocialMedia.org said, “(Austin) is like where Silicon Valley was in 1998.” Throw in the fact that there is no individual income tax, a downtown with a reputation for some of the best bars and live music in the country and Austin starts to look like a pretty good option.

What SU seniors will first realize out of college is the enormity of the financial crisis. It has made New York City a vastly overpopulated and overpriced city where students are competing with twice as many people for jobs that can scarcely cover the cost of living.

Ultimately, the financial crisis has made New York City unsustainable. The rich could end up unintentionally pricing many people out of the city if the demand to live there stays the way it is.

So it might be a smart idea to think outside the box because a job is still a job – even in North Dakota.

IDE AS

Carrier Dome symbolizes history, school spirit; should not be replaced After entering the Atlantic Coast Conference, the Syracuse University Athletics program is experiencing an identity crisis.

Having entered a new conference, SU Athletics is questioning its ability to measure up to other universities in the ACC, and whether SU’s most identifiable landmark, the Carrier Dome, is outdated.

Although it is not an immediate priority, SU Athletics should neither consider replacing the Dome nor doubt its ability to attract recruits and draw fans from miles away.

During this past summer, SU athletic officials discussed the future of the Dome in this new athletic environment.

They said that to remain competitive, updated facilities are a must.

EDITORIAL by the daily orange editorial board The Dome may not be considered a modern or advanced facility, but it is a staple of the university and the city, and it is filled with history and spirit.

The skyline view of its cloud-like roof is synonymous with the experience of arriving on campus for many SU students. The attendance record-setting games that have taken place in the Dome mark years of enthusiastic fandom for SU Athletics.

Instead, SU Athletics should continue to improve the Dome.

Recent changes include a new video ribbon board. However, further advancements should be considered to make the

Dome more physically and aesthetically pleasing.

The athletic department should also focus its energy into the $17 million football practice facility currently in the works. Potential recruits will spend the majority of their time at this practice location, and will be more focused on the appeal of this facility, rather than the vastness of the Dome.

Potential recruits should not view the Dome as an unimpressive or outdated facility. If anything, it should be seen as a representation of passionate fans and a thriving sports culture – something they should yearn to be a part of.

The Carrier Dome is a fixture of SU, and will therefore become a fixture of the ACC.

Students gain widely applicable skills from well-rounded liberal arts educations

A

s an 18-year-old college freshman, I was positive I wanted to be a senator. I was eager to begin my courses in understanding the American electoral process and the critical issues affecting the country I someday wished to serve. And yet, I also found myself in Astronomy 101 – a direct result of Syracuse University’s liberal arts core requirements.

Though the past several years of observing Washington politics has changed my postgraduate prospects, a question which arose that first day has always remained: Is there any significance in my past efforts to understand which moon phase is a waning crescent?

As a matter of fact, there is.

Scholars are arguing that overall higher education is being negatively affected by the “tough economy and continually dwindling job prospects,” which are causing many college students to develop “a laser-like focus on preparing themselves for the job market,” according to a Sept. 6 article News Editor Editorial Editor Sports Editor Feature Editor Presentation Director Photo Editor Art Director Copy Chief Social Media Producer Video Editor Web Developer Asst. News Editor Asst. News Editor Asst. News Editor Asst. Feature Editor

on The Huffington Post’s college blog.

In the article, Barry Schwartz, a professor of social theory and social action at Swarthmore College, states that though students want to specialize from the start of their collegiate experience in order to enhance career opportunities in the future, the consequence is a more general education and the liberal arts are not being taken seriously - a situation many employers are also rightly finding problematic.

The American collegiate experience is increasingly adapting to the gravitation of more students to seek single career-focused educations.

But, this philosophy is arguably concerning for two reasons: (1) The failure of students to learn the variety of skills and areas of knowledge necessary to compete in today’s highly globalized, demanding society, and (2) the possible stifling of hiring opportunities and international appeal in the job market.

As it turns out, there is worth in

campus watchdog the concept of being “well-rounded.”

Majoring in, or applying some academic effort to, the liberal arts is actually more beneficial than many commonly believe – a concept SU students should consider.

According to Education Portal’s Education Insider news blog, the liberal arts refers to subjects like literature, history, languages, philosophy and mathematics. These areas of study differ from majors like business or engineering because they do not have a direct corresponding career field.

But because the liberal arts disciplines are less narrowly focused, students are more encouraged to pick up widely applicable skills including

Katie Richards Stephen Bailey Trevor Hass Spencer Bodian Sam Maller Lindsay Dawson Lyndsey Jimenez Riley Levy Ankur Patankar Jessica Cabe Maggie Cregan Phil D’Abbraccio Jesse Dougherty Dylan Segelbaum Lara Sorokanich

communication proficiency, reading comprehension and analytical abilities, according to the site. This often equates to students feeling less “locked” in a single career field.

With liberal arts studies also comes the garnering of cultural knowledge so imperative, but unfortunately lacking, in today’s general public.

Unlike in the United States where the post-recession higher education focus is increasingly shifting toward specification, “elsewhere in the world, there is a growing emphasis on broader learning as an economic necessity,” according to a June Associated Press article.

This article has become a part of the ongoing international conversation concerning the liberal arts.

According to the piece, which consults institutions of higher education throughout the world, foreign companies are increasingly seeking students from the United States with liberal arts backgrounds because they demonstrate the skills listed

above, which employers now demand.

Across the globe, companies are seeking more than “job-fillers,” according to the article. “They think the biggest innovations come from graduates who are well-rounded – from empathetic engineers, say, or tech-savvy anthropologists.”

Though pouring 15 credits worth of time and energy into my natural sciences core requirements was frustrating as an underclassman, being knowledgeable about more than how the American legislative process functions has allowed me to widen my current postgraduate employment search. Especially since my prospective senatorial days have come to a close.

And, who knows, maybe I’ll end up putting my astronomy skills to work after all. Tonight, expect a first quarter moon.

MOOCS FROM PAGE 1

that even MOOCs with enrollment caps have thousands of students.

The programs offer a flexible, convenient education model, but have been criticized by some academics for low completion rates, a lack of personal interaction and even issues with intellectual property.

Elizabeth Liddy, dean of the iSchool, said that MOOCs can expand learning opportunities for teachers.

“As a whole, the university is looking into them,” Liddy said of MOOCs. “I think of it as probably the biggest thing that’s happened in education in 100 years, and if you’re a university, why wouldn’t you look into it?”

Vice Chancellor and Provost Eric Spina said he sees potential for MOOCs. The Georgia Institute of Technology will be offering a master’s degree in computer science entirely through MOOCs, he said.

The program will cost less than $7,000, a fraction of on-campus tuition, Spina said.

But one of the biggest criticisms of MOOCS is their low completion rate.

In a study, conducted by Katy Jordan, a doctoral student in The Open University, a U.K.based online university, the current completion rate for most MOOCs is less than 10 percent.

Several factors contribute to MOOCs’ low completion rate, said Pat Cihon, an associate professor of public policy and law. Because the programs aren’t for credit, the lack of personal contact removes social pressure to know the material. And because MOOCs are free, students aren’t invested in them, he said.

“There’s something to be said about personal interaction, the fear of being called on in class,” he said.

news@ da ilyor a nge.com

But completion isn’t the point of MOOCs for many students, said Jeffrey Stanton, an iSchool professor and senior associate dean who taught one of SU’s MOOCs, called “Introduction to Data Science.”

Stanton estimated about half of those who enroll in MOOCs do so out of curiosity, without any intention of completing it. Another quarter, he estimated, intend to complete the course but get sidetracked by other commitments.

Jasy Liew Suet Yan, a doctoral student pursuing a degree in information science and technology at the iSchool helped with the content design of Stanton’s MOOC. MOOCs, Yan said, have different levels of student involvement — from the “very excited and very active” students who finish the course, to more passive students who read materials but don’t participate in discussions.

David Lankes, a professor in the iSchool, said MOOCs’ low completion is understandable given the lack of traditional incentive and investment, and shouldn’t rule out MOOCs’ usefulness.

“It has such a steep drop because it has such a low bar for entry,” he said. “It’s a very lowstakes game.”

Liddy, the iSchool dean, agreed that the lack of student investment contributed to MOOCs’ low completion rate. The completion rate in SU’s two MOOCs was above average at 11 percent. She credited the availability of technical- and content-related support for the higher completion rate.

But sometimes there are incentives. People who completed the “Introduction to Data Science” MOOC were eligible for a scholarship in the iSchool’s Data Science Certificate of Advanced Studies program.

Some academics also see MOOCs as threatening intellectual property.

When MOOCs include professors’ video lecture, Cihon said, the professors essentially

surrender control of their intellectual property.

In most cases, he said, the professor is paid a one-time fee, and the university can continue using the video lectures indefinitely.

But, Lankes doesn’t see MOOCs as a new or dangerous factor in the copyright debate.

“If your intellect can be stolen by 10 video clips over a semester, then you’re not contributing enough to a university,” he said. “But actually, I’m worried about this stuff becoming proprietary.”

Stanton said he supports the free distribution of online content, having released the textbook he wrote on data science for free on iTunes under a Creative Commons license allowing people to remix and redistribute the content.

“I want my work to get out there, and I want people to benefit from it,” he said.

But MOOCs have different purposes from traditional education models, and shouldn’t be compared to traditional courses, said Lankes.

“The way I looked at it was changing the expectation,” Lankes said of his experience teaching a MOOC. He said MOOCs, such as the one he taught, are meant to promote a cursory knowledge of the topic, not mastery.

The lower level of professor-student interaction, Liddy said, shouldn’t immediately rule out MOOCs, pointing to a “great variety of individuals” enrolled in the programs.

She said the mix of young and old students, including novices, experts and professionals in the field, creates a rich learning environment.

Liddy added MOOCs can bring new students into SU, in addition to providing pedagogical data.

“Seventy-four percent of the people who took (SU’s) MOOCs had no prior connection to Syracuse University,” Liddy said. She added the two MOOCs SU has offered more than paid for themselves by bringing students into traditional SU programs.

With MOOCs, the biggest and most controversial question might be what to expect for the future.

Cihon, the associate professor of public policy and law, said he isn’t convinced of their longevity.

He criticized the lack of direct contact between students and professors. Unlike traditional courses, he added, the content of MOOCs can’t be tailored to students’ personal interests.

The programs don’t have the same kind of incentives for people to stay with the program, and universities haven’t found a way to successfully capitalize on it, Cihon said.

Though MOOCs could be beneficial by “democratizing education” making it available to a lot of people, Cihon added, he remains skeptical.

“The idea that somehow a lot of universities will hold costs down and still maintain the quality of education I think is a big myth,” he said.

Re-examining instruction methods and the education process are “healthy,” he said, but not total replacement.

Yet, many agree that MOOCs are not meant to replace traditional higher education course.

Stanton said he believes experimentation with MOOCs can yield useful innovations for higher education, while Lankes said MOOCs represent a growing flexibility in higher education.

“I think that there’s a real, important role for students to play in what they want out of them,” Lankes said.

Spina, SU’s vice chancellor and provost, said that MOOCs should be seen as a useful learning opportunity, not a takeover of higher education.

“There’ll be some other latest-and-greatest in 20 years,” he said. “That doesn’t mean that what’s learned from doing MOOCs isn’t going to be embedded in the next great thing. I just don’t know what that next great thing is.” mmcregan@syr.edu @MaggieCregan_SU

Open-minded University of Notre Dame changes admissions policy, lets undocumented students to enroll

ASST. NEWS EDITOR

niversity of Notre Dame announced a change in its admissions policy, now allowing students living in the country without legal permission to apply to the school and receive financial aid.

The university never had an official ban on these students, but required them to have student visas in order to enroll, Inside Higher Ed reported on Aug. 22. This created an obstacle, since many of the students are brought to the United States by their parents.

But the policy has also attracted questions of how it’ll be implemented.

In the 2013 first-year applicant pool, 3,936 students were admitted to Notre Dame out of 17,647 applicants, according to the university’s admissions website. The new aid policy only applies to admitted students.

African-American and the other half white, he said.

He said he’s hoping the grant will be renewed another four years, so he can do a follow-up test on each subject.

“The retest will allow us to see if their lead levels go down or what the changes are,” Gump said. “We can see if their systems similarly adapt, go back to normal, or what happens. It’ll also show us if the effects of lead are still there after puberty.”

While Gump said there’s no immediate risk of heart disease for the children involved in the study, he said slightly elevated levels of lead in the body can cause problems down the road.

“In making the decision to admit academically qualified men and women who are undocumented, we will strengthen our incoming class and give deserving young people the chance for a Notre Dame education,” Don Bishop, associate vice president for undergraduate enrollment, said in an Aug. 22 Notre Dame news release.

A September editorial in The Observer, Notre Dame’s student newspaper, called Notre Dame’s decision fair to all students, but pointed out several concerns, including the cost of a Notre Dame education itself — a barrier to students living the country without legal permission from low-income families.

The editorial also points out several questions with the policy’s logistics.

“You can have something with a very small effect, but if it has the same effect day in and day out for 30 years, it has the potential to affect people’s trajectory and risk for heart disease,” Gump said.

The particular branch Gump received the grant from was the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences. The goal of the organization is to find out how the environment affects people in order promote healthier lives, according to its website.

The website also describes the studies the group performs aim to reduce the effects of exposure to hazardous substances, including lead.

government aid graduate from Notre Dame with significant debt, according to the editorial.

Private scholarships may not be enough to make a Notre Dame education feasible for these students, the editorial argued.

Tuition and other fees at Notre Dame on average cost $44,605 for the 2013-14 academic year, according to the university’s admissions website. Room and board cost $12,512 on average, according to their website.

The question, according to the editorial, is whether Notre Dame will distribute more financial aid to these students to compensate for the fact that they don’t receive government aid. Notre Dame has not publicly addressed this and the ethics of giving extra aid, according to the editorial.

Other issues the editorial mentioned included whether the university will address assimilating these students into the Notre Dame

population, their eligibility for the university’s student health insurance and if the school will help them find jobs and give them information on pathways to citizenship.

Admitting these students, the editorial says, is an important symbolic gesture that may remain purely symbolic if the university doesn’t explain the ways it will support these students.

But, the editorial suggests admitting these students can help the Notre Dame community understand what needs to be done to guarantee that all people in the United States will have access to education.

“Even more importantly, by working, playing and praying with us, undocumented students will help Notre Dame continue to grow into a more understanding and welcoming place,” the editorial said. najisaka@syr.edu

She added the university will be making a donation to the Buddhist Global Relief.

With Bodhi’s arrival on campus, SU and Hendricks have developed a yearlong world hunger awareness program, organizing a series of events on the issue and having student groups involved, Shoultz added.

“It’s really because of him that we’ve developed this initiative,” she said. “Not only is he doing this globally, but we should be doing activities locally. We really want students to have an opportunity to help.”

The Orange and Hoyas last played in SU’s final Big East Tournament last season and won’t play this upcoming season.

Gross also announced on Wednesday that the university will break ground on its new football practice facility on Sunday.

taking her medication as prescribed, and may have died due to an electrolyte imbalance or other possible complications.

When a local New Jersey newspaper reported Wednesday that the Essex County Prosecutor’s Office is investigating Emma’s death as an “apparent drug overdose,” her parents said they felt the need to clarify the truth to the public.

“We think it’s premature to label something as apparent when that’s just not the case,” said Michael Wozny, her father.

Linda DeWolfe Wozny said Emma suffered from a sleeping disorder, so she spent the night of her death staying up late to talk to her friends who live in different time zones. She said that

she had a “good conversation” with Emma the night she died, describing the day as “nothing out of the ordinary.”

A few days before her death, Emma’s grandfather died. Michael Wozny said she had planned days in advance to drive home for the funeral because she was aware of his declining condition, so it was unlikely that her death was due to grief or trauma.

Emma decided to live in an apartment with randomly selected roommates, and within days of meeting, they had already bonded, Linda DeWolfe Wozny said.

But Emma also struggled with depression, giving her very distinct, emotional highs and lows, Linda DeWolfe Wozny said. She said Emma was also diagnosed with Sensory Processing Disorder at a young age, making interactions — such as processing pain — difficult.

“She was a psychology and neuroscience major, and I almost think she majored in that because she wanted to learn why she was the way she was,” Linda DeWolfe Wozny said. “She understood that she was wired a little differently than most people.”

Emma’s eating disorder came to a head last semester when she called her parents to tell them she had occasionally been blacking out, said Michael Wozny.

He said he decided Emma needed immediate counseling and treatment. Doctors put her on medication, he said, which perpetuated her panic attacks.

The family is now waiting to receive autopsy and toxicology results from the Essex County Prosecutor’s Office, but won’t receive them for three to four months, the father said.

“We were told by the examiner that New-

ark and Paterson, which are nearby towns, have had 17 deaths in the last week, so they’re really swamped,” Linda DeWolfe Wozny said. “Not knowing the results is the worst thing in the world.”

A memorial service will be held Sept. 21 in Emma’s hometown, where Linda DeWolfe Wozny said it will be an “unconventional funeral to celebrate her life.”

Her parents said they encourage those interested to make a donation to the Verona Music Parents Association, as Emma was heavily involved with the Verona High School marching band.

“There was so much more to her than her eating disorder,” Linda DeWolfe Wozny said.

“She was engaged in so many things, she did so much. She had so many plans.”

Chancellor Nancy Cantor was unable to attend the meeting due to a conference of Atlantic Coast Conference presidents in Virginia, said Vice Chancellor Eric Spina in an email.

A report from the Subcommittee on Nominations was passed out at the beginning of the

meeting, which addressed which faculty and staff members would be added or removed from individual committees. A motion to approve the nominations was passed unanimously.

A motion was then made to recommend to the Board of Trustees the promotion of Timothy Korter and Amy Criss, both of the College of Arts and Sciences, to professor and associate professor, respectively. The motion also passed unanimously.

The main question facing the senate for the 2013-14 academic year will be the senate’s transition into the spring semester, when it will begin working alongside the new chancellor.

Cantor will be leaving SU to become chancellor of Rutgers University’s Newark campus effective Jan. 1.

“In the absence of any information about the search, the University Senate isn’t sure how exactly a new chancellor will affect them,” said Bruce Carter, senate moderator and chair of the

Agenda Committee.

The structure of the senate won’t change at all with the incoming chancellor due to the bylaws of the senate itself, but the new chancellor may have a specific agenda or particular issues he or she want to focus on, he said.

He also said the new chancellor could choose to spend the beginning of the spring semester getting to know the senators.

“The status of things for next semester is honestly unknown,” he said.

As for Cantor’s involvement in the senate for the remainder of the semester, Carter said the decision is hers. He does predict her traveling back and forth to Newark, N.J., throughout the semester, though, in order to become familiar with the university and prepare for her new position.

Said Carter: “It’s her choice how involved she decides to be.”

the sweet stuff in the middle

GAME PLAN E ven if you’re not a huge sports fan, there’s one thing everyone can agree on: tailgating is important. It’s where sports fans get hyped up before the game. But to the Pulp staff, it’s even more important than that — tailgating is home to some of the best food and games out

Craft perfect tailgate with food, games, gear

there. So, in preparation of this weekend’s first Syracuse home football game of the season, take some tips from us on how to throw the best tailgate party — ever.

— Compiled by The Daily Orange feature staff

GOOD EATS

The central part of any party is the food.

Guaranteed, your friends will have a good time at your tailgate no matter what, if you put food in front of them.

For starters, your friends are not going to be happy without some chips and dip. Get adventurous with the flavors, but keep the staples there. You can’t go wrong with Ruffles potato chips and sour cream and onion dip, so be sure you have plenty of that.

And if you’re going to do chips and salsa, upgrade and buy Scoops for a little added class. A veggie tray is also a nice touch, and some kind of dessert, like cookies or brownies, to satisfy everyone’s sweet tooth.

While snacks are a must, if you really want to impress your friends, you need to give them something with a little more substance. Consider ordering wings with a variety of dips and sauces so everyone can find a flavor they like. But sometimes half the fun is making the food, so fire up the grill and cook hamburgers, hot dogs and shish kebabs. Having your guests help with the cooking process will be fun in itself.

Overall, just be sure you have enough food for everyone. Be on the safe side when you’re shopping, because you definitely don’t want to run out of food before everyone is full. Worst-case scenario: You get stuck with some awesome leftovers.

SCHOOL SPIRIT

There is absolutely no way you can show up to a tailgate without being decked out in Syracuse apparel. That’s not to say you need to dress in head-to-toe orange with your face fully painted and the letters SU across your chest. But hey, it couldn’t hurt.

If too much school spirit freaks you out, though, opt for an “I Bleed Orange” T-shirt, stick an orange bow in your hair or put an Otto sticker on your cheek.

When it comes to decorating your party space, put up some orange streamers or stick a few SU pennants on the wall.

Maybe include an Otto picture or two. If decorating overwhelms you, though, just stick a bowl of oranges on the table and call it a day.

Even if you aren’t attending the game, make sure you watch it on TV. And don’t forget to cheer the players on and sing all the chants. If your neighbors aren’t banging on your walls telling you to quiet down, you aren’t being loud enough.

GAME TIME

All tailgate games are easy enough to learn and play, even if you’re not very sporty. Take beer pong for instance. Sure, you’ve probably played it before, but if you haven’t played it at a tailgate party yet, you’re doing it wrong. This is your chance

to take it to the next level and really “Go orange!” Use orange cups instead of red, and get a little crafty by building your own SU-inspired table. It’ll make the game that much more fun.

Other classic tailgating games include: ladder ball, Kan Jam and corn hole. But

even tossing a football around is always acceptable.

And nothing gets people more excited than a good playlist of music, so make sure you have one ready. Remember though, this isn’t the time for feel-good music; this is the time for pump-up music. Of course,

it’s always a great idea to include crowd pleasers, like “Sweet Caroline,” “Eye of the Tiger” and “Centerfold.” Make sure you have a solid set of speakers available.

Standard computer speakers don’t count.

Seasonal-inspired Sam Adams quenches thirst, leaves bitter taste

By Avery Hartmans STAFF WRITER

Before I am judged for my lack of imagination when choosing this week’s beer, let me preface by saying that I was really, really thirsty.

When it’s unexpectedly 89 degrees in early September – the time of year when all you want to do is just put on a sweater – the only thing that helps is beer. Lots and lots of beer.

I compromised: As much as I wanted it to be 65 degrees and appropriately autumnal, I was – as my Jewish friends always say – shvitzing.

So I drank a cold beer, but I made it a Samuel Adams OctoberFest.

I felt guilty drinking OctoberFest on Sept. 10, especially when I had promised myself that my first seasonal beer would be something pumpkin related. But desperate, hot, sticky times call for desperate measures. I needed something light and thirst-quenching that didn’t actually have the word “light” in the name and isn’t typically served in a Solo Cup. The OctoberFest did not disappoint – at least not in the category of thirst satiation.

I will not disclose how many of these beers I consumed, but let’s just say I certainly didn’t leave the bar thirsty.

But about halfway through my first brew, I realized something: I wasn’t actually that impressed. Sure, it tasted pretty good. Yes, it contained alcohol, which is something I very much enjoy. But was it anything more than a step above average? I’m not so sure.

At first, this beer tasted pretty delicious.

There were hints of caramel and it was vaguely

BEER BITES spicy — think nutmeg and cinnamon. I instantly found myself craving pumpkin pie and a day of touch football – wearing a sweater, of course.

The OctoberFest is a blend of five malts, after all, so it seemed full-bodied and delicious.

But there wasn’t much depth to it, nothing to keep me hooked after the first sip. It faded from my palate almost instantaneously, so I had to keep sipping to remember what it tasted like.

In fact, it actually got worse the longer I waited in between sips, as if the fairly bitter aftertaste took a second to kick in. Now that I think about it, this might just be a clever ploy by Sam Adams to get you to drink more beer more quickly. I am clearly a sucker, judging by how I felt upon waking up the next morning.

For a while there, I was really disappointed in the OctoberFest. I had heard good things from people far more educated about beer than myself. So when one of my drinking companions offered me a sip of her Sam Adams Cherry Wheat, I went for it, hoping to be impressed by something, anything.

But after drinking that concoction, which tasted nearly identical to Robitussin, I appreciated my OctoberFest a whole lot more.

Will it become my fall drink of choice?

Probably not. Did it do its job? All too well, my friends. All too well. avhartma@syr.edu @averyhartmans

ven though there isn’t a specific dress code, you still might want to take some precautions. The Funny Bone, part of a national chain of comedy clubs and restaurants, takes “no responsibility if a comedian makes fun of your outfit,” according to its website.

Joe DeRosa, a comedian who got his start in a small club in Philadelphia, is known for how he humorously deals with hecklers at his shows. DeRosa is performing at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Friday and Sunday, 7 p.m.

Saturday and again at 9:45 p.m. Friday and Saturday at The Funny Bone, 10301 Destiny USA Drive. Tickets are $10 on Thursday, $12 on Friday, $15 on Saturday and $10 on Sunday, and you must be 21 or older to attend.

DeRosa has guest-starred in a number of TV series including HBO’s “Bored to Death,” which stars a rotating list of comedians like Zach Galifianakis and IFC’s “Z-Rock.” Through regular appearances on The Opie and Anthony radio show, a half hour special on Comedy Central and a stand-up album through Comedy Central

Records, DeRosa has made quite the name for himself both on stage and on TV. The Funny Bone has a habit of bringing the biggest names in comedy to Syracuse, said Bert Borth, the assistant general manager at the club. Past acts have included Rob Schneider and Cedric the Entertainer — both big-time stand-up comedy and film stars.

There are shows at the club every Thursday throughSunday. And every Wednesday night, the club hosts a special event like a “Chicks Are Funny” night, when only female comedians perform. On most nights, only people ages 21 and older are allowed entrance, but there are a few exceptions.

During the fall and winter especially, Borth said, there are a number of events that appeal to younger students, including classes and workshops to try out a few new jokes, get some critiques and prepare for one of the showcase events or open mic nights. There, students of all ages are often invited to perform.

“A lot of the time, students are the people who are familiar with the Comedy Central acts and all those people, so we do try to get

them in when we can allow it,” Borth said.

Students like Jesse Roth, a junior drama major who helped start an improvisation troupe on campus last year, understand what the Funny Bone tries to accomplish as a form of entertainment. She said the goal of the improv troupe is to include everyone, similar to what the Funny Bone aims to achieve.

Roth said most improv groups on campus typically have only drama students in them.

The Best Restaurant in Town — the group she helped create — invites students of any year and major to join because acting and comedy in general are more exciting in diverse groups.

“You don’t have to be good to enjoy it, and it is just way more fun when there is a wide array of people,” she said.

So take Roth’s advice and give it a try.

If you’re in the mood for a good laugh this weekend, invite a few friends to The Funny Bone. But fair warning: Audience members are subject to mockery. jtinfant@syr.edu @joeinfantino

Columnist realizes true personalities surface during college years, admits to hipster past

N

ow, I wouldn’t call myself a geneticist or anything. Although I have seen the various X-Men movies to an absurd degree, so I might have the same expertise as Patrick Stewart.

Who am I kidding? I’ll never compare to Patrick Stewart.

And I wouldn’t call myself a psychologist.

Although I did get a three on my AP Psychology test in high school — a performance my teacher called, “pretty much what I expected from Christian.”

However, I would call myself a chronic observer of a specific animal. I’m like a less pretty and more neurotic Jane Goodall.

Take chimpanzees. I pretty much know what I’m going to get out of them. They’ll eat some gross things, and then maybe they’ll fight or have sex (it’s honestly hard to tell the difference sometimes.)

Like chimpanzees, college students have very predictable behaviors.

But this is where my adequate understanding of high school psychology and X-Men genetics come into play. I’ve observed that characteristics that lingered under the surface in high school seem to bubble up in college.

For example, say your name is Brian, and in high school you said to yourself, “I kind of like lacrosse.” A reasonable underlying trait to have in high school, but an absurd lifestyle choice for anyone above the age of 18. Does anyone score?

Why can’t I see the ball? It honestly just looks like a bunch of guys standing around in a field wearing suits of armor. Like they lost their way to the “Game of Thrones” convention.

Or say your name is Claire, and in high school you always kind of liked cute animals. Well, now college Claire has an internship at the Cute Animals Have People Problems Division at BuzzFeed.

But truthfully, I’ve been hiding my true self for way too long. I might as well come clean.

I’m Christian Unkenholz, and I’m a recovering hipster. Admitting it is the first step.

I know. It shocked me, too. But the more I thought about it, the more I always saw that I had that hipster inside of me all along. I mean, even as a child I shunned mainstream music in favor

CHRISTIAN UNKENHOLZ

that guy of experimental jazz. Which I claimed “said more” than pop music ever could.

For the record, I now view experimental jazz as mankind’s greatest folly.

I constantly tell my friends to check out things that I know they’ll never check out; all to make myself feel only slightly superior. I mean, how can you honestly tell me that you’ve never seen “The Wire?” It perfectly sums up the plight of the poor.

See! Isn’t that simply obnoxious?

I’m trying to get help, but there are so many relapses along the road to recovery.

We can’t even serve coffee at our Hipsters Anonymous meetings because that elicits way too many opinions.

One of the worst relapses was during the summer, when I took a trip down to the hipster Mecca of Bonnaroo. So many ironic mustaches.

So many white people with dreadlocks. So many people saying, “I wish they had played more of their older stuff.” It was honestly two steps back on the metaphorical tight rope between two trees. Yeah, I know it’s called a slack line, but I refuse to acknowledge that awful hobby.

Seemingly, the more I try to run from my hipsterness, the more I end up listening to bands like Cerebral Ballzy.

But maybe that’s the point of college. It’s finding the purest distillation of yourself, even if that self wears an absurd amount of flannel and wool hats in the summertime.

But that’s okay. We’re all bound by one simple truth: We’ll never compare to Patrick Stewart.

Q&A with Keller Williams: Funk-, bluegrass-inspired singer, songwriter

By Anna Merod CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Drawing inf luence from genres like folk, reggae, funk, bluegrass and alternative rock, Keller Williams is constantly stirring up his own styles of music. On stage, it’s just Williams, a microphone, his acoustic guitar and a loop pedal — and it’s all coming to the Westcott Theater on Friday.

Hailing from Fredericksburg, Va., Williams has released 19 albums. His autumn tour will include solo performances, as well as several collaborations with bands like More Than A Little. He is also anticipating the release of a new album, aptly titled “Funk,” on Nov. 12.

The Daily Orange spoke with Williams to discuss his music style and inspiration before he hits the Westcott stage this weekend. General admission tickets for the show are $25.

The Daily Orange: How did you first get into performing music?

Keller Williams: I always pretended as a little kid to play and sing, and you know, always been a huge music fan. I guess the real reason I started doing it all the time was that I was able to make about as much in a couple hours sitting on a stool playing cover songs than I was pushing a wheelbarrow around in the summer with a hardhat and boots.

The D.O.: How would you describe your current music style?

Williams: I have definitely accepted more of a dance vibe than I did in the ’90s. The short answer: I would describe my music to be acoustic dance music, and dance music has many different meanings all over the world. In Europe, dance music is kind of like a club thing, and I think that’s what the universal term has become for dance music. But my flavor is more acoustic, and every song has a backbeat of its own kind that is able to dance to, so that’s what I like to call it. almerod@syr.edu

ALLEN

FROM PAGE 20

“win the second half.”

The Orange put up 14 points and 193 yards with Allen under center in the second half as the offense found its rhythm. Quick perimeter passes coupled with outside-the-tackles running put the Northwestern defense on its heels.

And Allen, at times, looked very comfortable running the hurry-up offense.

“All good athletes kind of get into a zone and there were times Saturday where he was in a zone,” SU head coach Scott Shafer said.

Allen showed distinct improvement in his second contest despite throwing four interceptions, enough so that he deserves a chance to continue as the starter — at least for now. Admittedly his tendency to stare down receivers has resulted in six interceptions through two games and many more batted passes. But those flashes of dominance shown against Northwestern merit another opportunity against Wagner.

A poor performance from the Oklahoma transfer could land the four-year backup back on the bench for good. But Allen’s ability to throw the deep ball and proven composure and leadership are worth the continued patience.

“He’s our quarterback,” Broyld said. “We’re going to stick with him `til we can’t ride with him no more.”

The chance to start against Football Championship Subdivision foe Wagner gives Allen every chance to strengthen his hold on the starting job while Hunt gets some reps off the b ench. Frankly, if he can’t score at will against a Seahawks defense that gave up 42 points to Division II Merrimack, he shouldn’t be starting.

But the high points of the Northwestern game provide hope for Allen’s success. He’s developed a core of short-yardage receivers in Broyld, who leads the team with 11 catches for 108 yards, senior Christopher Clark and freshman Brisly Estime.

And Broyld was emphatic that the offense is better with Allen than with Hunt.

“He’s our quarterback,” Broyld said, “so, of course.”

The pieces are in place for an SU offense that has the potential to be dynamic. Those glimpses just need to become more consistent.

“When we’re hitting on all cylinders, I feel that we can score at will,” Allen said.

"He’s our quarterback, so of course. We depend on Drew a lot as any team would for their quarterback."

Ashton Broyld

SYRACUSE H-BACK ON WHICH QUARTERBACK GIVES SU THE BET TER CHANCE TO WIN

Allen said he watched more film from Sunday to Tuesday than he spent preparing for Penn State and Northwestern on those days each of the past two weeks.

And he knows forcing passes like he did each of the last two weeks will only pull him off the field faster.

His second-quarter interception thrown to Broyld in double coverage against Northwestern was never going to result in a catch.

Allen stared down the sophomore Broyld in the slot before the snap and followed him 15 yards down the left sideline where Wildcats safety Traveon Henry rotated over to pick off the overthrow.

“You’ve got to eat it,” Lester said.

But Allen and the staff are confident those mistakes will be fixed. And with Wagner and Tulane to build up confidence against, they should.

For those imploring their friends and family that Hunt is ready to play the role of savior, hold your horses. His 15-yard scoring scamper was exciting, but remember it came against second-teamers.

And it was the result of a mistake by Hunt.

“He made some mistakes that got under my skin,” Lester said. “The touchdown was a missed read. He ran the sideline and everyone was cheering and I grabbed him right out of the pile and said, ‘What are you doing?’”

Once Hunt starts a game there’s no going back, barring injury. You can’t bench a senior for a redshirt sophomore then switch back.

So for the immediate future it’s shine or sit for Drew Allen. He deserves this last chance and has every opportunity to make the most of it.

HUNT

FROM PAGE 20

time, it was the media that mobbed him.

A week ago, there was just a handful of reporters that wandered over to the backup quarterback. On Tuesday he had the big reveal — Allen would start on Saturday, but Hunt will play against Wagner. The quarterback job that is rightly his is once again within reach.

He adds a dimension to the offense that Syracuse couldn’t even imagine with Drew Allen under center. When everything goes wrong, Hunt makes it work.

Just like he did on the touchdown run.

“When you do a typo, what do you do? You get some Wite-Out and make it right,” offensive coordinator George McDonald said, “so he got his Wite-Out out and he made it right.”

At Christ the King Regional High School in New York, Hunt threw and rushed for more than 1,200 yards. Were Allen the capable passer so many expected him to be when he arrived from Oklahoma, this wouldn’t matter.

Hunt’s above-average legs wouldn’t outweigh his sub-par arm.

But Allen’s thrown six interceptions and just one touchdown. When plays go wrong for Allen, he tries to force the ball through a tight window. When plays go wrong for Hunt, he heads to the end zone.

“Those are some of the things he has the ability to do,” McDonald said. “When things go wrong he can kind of work his magic a little bit and try to get himself out of his problems he creates.”

Right now, that’s Allen’s problem. The only “magic” he’s cast was on his 55-yard bomb to Jeremiah Kobena against Penn State, that didn’t result in a touchdown.

When Allen first arrived, he was the exciting, trendy choice. He came from the Big 12 Conference and had the look of a potential franchise quarterback. He was shrouded in mystery, but with a big arm and a rare pedigree for Central New York. There was reason for excitement.

Two weeks into his Syracuse career, that’s completely deflated. He’s been one of the worst quarterbacks in the country, and the eyepopping plays like his throw to Kobena have come far too infrequently.

“When things go wrong, he can kind of work his magic a little bit and try to get himself out of his problems he creates.”

George McDonald

SYRACUSE OFFENSIVE COORDINATOR

Now it’s Hunt who can infuse some excitement back into this season. It’s not right to call this season a lost cause yet — because it’s not — but it’s dangerously teetering on that edge.

Allen will need to dramatically improve for SU to challenge for a bowl game in a strong Atlantic Coast Conference. Hunt, it seems, is the quarterback of the future, and should be the one for the present.

Aside from Ashton Broyld, Allen hasn’t built consistency with any of his wide receivers. He’s only been practicing with the team since July.

Hunt manned the first team in the spring game. He held the edge early in the summer.

With SU insistent on making the pistol work, Hunt has more experience with the system and with the arsenal that accompanies it.

“I worked with them all summer, all spring, so it doesn’t just go away in a few weeks,” Hunt said. “It’s something that’s there.”

In the box score, Hunt’s final run is just a throwaway touchdown in a 48-27 blowout, but when Hunt ran down the sideline after celebrating his own accomplishment, his teammates cheered.

The play, though, got under quarterback coach Tim Lester’s skin. He grabbed him out of a scrum.

“What are you doing?” he asked the newest quarterback in his rotation.

Hunt had the answer — he knew it wasn’t the right play.

He may not always make the right play, but he has the ability to fix the wrong one.

WAGNER FROM PAGE 20

already given a peek into his future, but when Syracuse hosts FCS opponent Wagner at 4 p.m. on Saturday in the Carrier Dome, the stage will be Estime’s to showcase himself like Broyld did a year ago.

“I think Brisly did a pretty good job last week, right?” offensive coordinator George McDonald said. “I think he’s proved he’s able to take the next step.”

The plan, as outlined by both McDonald and head coach Scott Shafer, was to bring him along slowly. Broyld struggled with the stark transition in 2012 without a truly defined position.

Both have the H-back tag upon them this year, but it’s even simpler than that — both have exclusively played in the slot. They can still carry the ball on occasion in jet sweep and end around-type plays, but they line up in the same place every snap.

Both quarterback Terrel Hunt and guard Rob Trudo said that Syracuse would streamline the playbook against the Seahawks. Even from Week 1 to Week 2 it was simplified, and Estime reaped the benefits.

“The biggest thing that I don’t want to do is try to give those guys too much and then they can’t execute and use their abilities on Saturday,” McDonald said.

Estime’s talent was apparent from a time even before McDonald arrived in Syracuse.

When McDonald was the wide receivers coach at Miami, Fla., Estime came to a camp and immediately caught the assistant’s eye.

He was just a two-star recruit, but one of the fastest kids in the state. If he got the ball in his hand, then he could make plays.

“I kind of knew his skill set and knew how we

sep t em ber 1 2 , 2 013

could use him once I got here,” McDonald said.

At first it was tricky. Estime wasn’t a true wide receiver, so they tried him at H-back and on punt returns. Like with Broyld a year ago, there were mistakes and growing pains.

Estime, though, had Broyld to lean on. He was thrown into a similar situation as a freshman and told Estime what to expect.

“Make plays and when Coach yells at you just look at it like you’ve got to make the next play,” Estime said, “you’ve got to catch the ball.”

Then there was also the difficulty of leaving his son in Delray Beach, Fla., and starting a new experience.

At first it was “bad” he said, but he’s getting used to it. He still tries to talk to him on the phone or Facetime every day.

“It motivates me to keep working hard,” Estime said.

In two games, he’s already become a piece in a thin wide receivers corps. McDonald already views him as consistent, but now he’ll have a chance to become even more involved.

Shafer said he sees “marked improvement” every day. Not only have there been major strides from training camp to Week 1, but also from Week 1 to Week 2.

With injuries and underachieving, Syracuse needs help at wide receiver. One day, McDonald said, Estime will be a very good football player.

That day could come soon.

“He’s starting to feel comfortable in the offense and I think everybody is the same,” McDonald said. “When we recruit these guys we want them to be instant stars and sometimes they are, and sometimes it’s just a maturation process.

“I think he’s right on track.” dbwilson@syr.edu @DBWilson2

SU tries to keep pace in speedy, unfamiliar ACC

APARTMENTS FOR RENT

By Austin Mirmina STAFF WRITER

In a game against Boston College two seasons ago, Syracuse got its first real dose of competition in the much-hyped Atlantic Coast Conference. The Eagles were relentless from the start.

“Playing at BC, we knew Who: Virginia the tempo was Where: Charlottseville, Va. going to be When: Today faster and we had to be ready right out of the gate,” former SU forward Jenna Rickan said. “We sustained that pace in the first half, but the credit goes to the team for hanging in there for the whole game.”

SU will need to rely on its strength to compete with the fast-paced tempo when the Orange (4-2) travels to face No. 2 Virginia (6-0) on Thursday and Virginia Tech (5-0-1) on Sunday. Head coach Phil Wheddon has stressed quick ball movement and remaining compact on defense so the Orange can create scoring chances when the team makes its ACC debut.

The Orange has little experience playing against ACC opponents. SU played only one team in the conference over the last five seasons, when it squared off against the Eagles.

That lack of experience could spell trouble for the Orange and Wheddon, who said that the speed of play in the ACC is a bit quicker than in the Big East.

On Sunday, Syracuse battled a very quick Connecticut team that was able to stretch out the SU defense with its athleticism. The Huskies repeatedly played long balls over the top and exploited holes in the Orange defense with their swift tempo. Despite the 1-0 defeat, senior defender Kayla Afonso believes the loss was a beneficial stepping stone for SU. “We got a taste of what the ACC might look like against Connecticut,” Afonso said.

“We’ve been playing good teams, but it’s going to be a little tougher this weekend.”

The Orange defense must stay organized if it hopes to defend against the quickness of the Cavaliers and Hokies. Afonso said the defenders will pinch together and position themselves closer to the goal, rather than approaching the opponents’ forwards higher on the field, in an attempt to counter the speed and frustrate its opposition.

Wheddon has placed a significant emphasis on SU’s shape and positioning heading into this weekend’s slate of games.

“The one thing we can’t do is to get stretched out. It has to be a disciplined performance,” Wheddon said. “If we get too stretched out, Virginia will pick us apart like they did against Penn State and Rutgers.”

When SU traveled to play Boston College in 2011, Rickan knew the Orange was a significant underdog. It’s a mentality the team will embrace once again as it tries to match the intensity against the dynamic tempo of the ACC. “If you want to be the best team, you have to play against the best,” Afonso said.

“Maybe our speed of play will change, because we need to adapt to the pace. But we’ll learn from it.”

MEN’S SOCCER

Snubbed Bono seeks revenge vs.

Irish in Orange’s home ACC opener

By Jesse Dougherty ASST. COPY EDITOR

When Notre Dame visited SU Soccer Stadium last season, a lot was on the line.

Syracuse and then-No. 7 Notre Dame were vying for a trip to the second round of the Big East tournament. And with realignment making it the last tournament for the old Big East, the game was uniquely layered.

But for thenfreshman goalie Alex Bono, it was a Who: Notre Dame Where: SU Soccer Stadium chance to show the Irish what it could When: Friday have had. Notre Dame put Bono through the recruiting process while he was in high school, but decided to go in a different direction. Instead, the Baldwinsville, N.Y., native came to SU. Bono’s first shot at revenge didn’t go as planned, ending in a 4-2 Orange loss and a tournament exit. But he and his team get another shot on Friday.

Syracuse (3-1, 0-1 Atlantic Coast) will host No. 4 Notre Dame (1-0-2, 0-0-1 Atlantic Coast) at 7 p.m. at SU Soccer Stadium in the Orange’s firstever ACC home game. But the game means even more to Bono. He’ll look to showcase his talent and guide SU to a win, while in the back of his head he knows the Irish opted not to take him.

“Anytime you face a team that didn’t pick you, or you didn’t pick,” Bono said, “you have to show them why you didn’t go there or why they should have kept you around.”

It was no mistake that Notre Dame, one of college soccer’s storied programs, was interested in Bono while he was at C.W. Baker High School.

As a senior, Bono was rated by Topdrawersoccer.com the No. 1 recruit in New York state, as well as No. 51 in the country. ESPN Rise had him as the sixth-best goalkeeper and the No. 46 prospect in the country. And in four illustrious high school seasons, he led C.W. Baker to four Section III championships and two regional titles.

Any program, even one with a nation of players at its disposal, would have wanted Bono. But the Irish passed after inviting Bono to visit campus.

“It’s not that I was particularly attracted to Notre Dame, but they showed a lot of interest,” Bono said. “But they decided to go in a different direction after it all, and that’s just how it works.”

Up 2-0 in the 61st minute of last year’s game, Bono looked like the best player on the field. Notre Dame had tested him with 14 shots and six corner kicks, but was left with nothing to show for it.

Then something changed. The Irish scored two goals in 19 seconds and added another 13 minutes later. By the 76th minute, Notre Dame had a 3-2 lead and when Ryan Finley scored in the 84th its 4-2 victory was sealed.

Bono was impressive at the night, but the crippling 21-minute stretch erased an otherwise sterling performance.

The game, his first chance to beat the Irish, was gone in a flash.

“He was amazing in that game last year,” said backup goalie Andrew Coughlin. “We’ve been working hard, pushing each other every day this year and I know he doesn’t want a loss like that to happen again.”

The Orange doesn’t look the same as it did last season. With a new, younger lineup, beating Notre Dame is certainly less practical than it was a season ago. The Irish tied then-No. 1 North Carolina 1-1 on Sunday.

“We’ll have the toughest test we’ve had so far,” SU head coach Ian McIntyre said.

UP NEXT

The two players that scored in the Orange’s 4-2 loss last season have since graduated, but the man in the net is the same. When Bono first saw ND on SU’s schedule, it stood out as a “revenge game.”

Because 10 months ago, revenge slipped through his fingers.

Said Bono: “They were definitely the best team we played last year and that was a tough loss. I really can’t wait to get back at them this season.” jcdoug01@syr.edu @dougherty_ jesse

Hunt brings excitement, dynamic component to stagnant SU offense

T

errel Hunt scanned the defense for a moment.

There wasn’t much hesitation. Something didn’t work. He had to make a quick decision.

The quarterback, playing his first series of the year, took off. He sliced through the Northwestern defense, shedding a handful of would-be tackles and diving headfirst across the goal line. It was a missed assignment, but it didn’t matter — Hunt did in 10 plays what took Drew Allen more than six quarters: account for a touchdown.

As he rose to his feet, his teammates mobbed him.

Hunt flailed his arms and shook his head. He pounded his chest in his unbridled enthusiasm. He had finally gotten his opportunity on Saturday, and he made the most of it.

Three days later, he was again visibly excited. This

Estime works through early hiccups as contributing freshman H-back

By David Wilson SPORTS EDITOR

At first it was tough for Brisly Estime to leave his newborn son, Jordayn, behind in Florida. Coming to Syracuse from southern Florida was a long way.

And a new position on the field

didn’t make it any easier. One more unfamiliar in name than in practice.

Still, Estime had to learn it, all while balancing it with the life of a freshman college football player.

“It’s probably the hardest thing to do in the world,” fellow H-back Ashton Broyld said.

“The entire year has been pretty much a nightmare for me physically.”

Derek Jeter

NEW YORK YANKEES SHORTSTOP

In his first game, against Penn State, Estime dropped the only pass sent his way. He snared three passes in the second half against Northwestern when the game was out of reach, and came just inches along the sideline from breaking for the first touchdown of his career.

A year ago, Broyld was in a similar position. He was the ultratalented freshman playmaker with sky-high expectations and no true position. He bumbled his way through 2012, typically lining up in the backfield and struggling to produce on a consistent basis.
