Next chancellor expresses desire to learn about, connect with Syracuse community

ess than 24 hours after receiving the overwhelming news he had been selected as Syracuse University’s 12th chancellor, Kent Syverud found himself behind a podium inside a packed Hendricks Chapel, addressing a crowd of people eager for a glimpse of the new face of SU. He gave them an honest confession.

“I still have so much more to learn.”

With that, Syverud pulled out from underneath the

Cantor, after roughly 10 years, will leave to become the chancellor of Rutgers University’s Newark campus.

Syverud will leave his deanship at Washington University’s School of Law in St. Louis on Jan. 12 — only a day before beginning at SU— as he promised to continue teaching his law negotiation class for the next four months.

Until then, he’ll set aside pockets of time to travel to and from Syracuse and arrange moving plans for him and his wife Ruth Chen, an environmental toxicologist who will take up a post as a professor of practice at SU. He’ll try to absorb everything he can about Syracuse’s culture.

Chairwoman details search process

By Dylan Segelbaum Asst. Copy Editor

It takes a lot of steps to find a chancellor: almost one year, more than 20 search committee members, three final candidates and two rounds of interviews.

“There wasn’t even a close second” to Chancellor-designate Kent Syverud, said Joanne Alper, chairwoman of the chancellor search committee. The committee was going to come to a consensus on one or two people to recommend to the Board of Trustees: “But when we finished this process, there wasn’t even a question of there being anyone else,” she said.

S y r ac u s e Un iver sit y announced on Thursday that the Board of Trustees had selected Syverud, dean of Washington University’s School of Law in St. Louis, to be the next chancellor. He will begin his

tenure on Jan. 13, 2014.

The announcement comes almost a year after current chancellor Nancy Cantor said she would step down when her contract expires in June 2014.

In June, Cantor announced she was leaving for Rutgers University’s Newark campus, starting as chancellor there Jan. 1, 2014.

The process of selecting Syverud included getting input from different groups: staff, faculty, students, alumni, community members and trustees; conducting two rounds of interviews; and coming to a consensus about whom to recommend to the Board of Trustees.

While the committee was already getting input from these groups, members met for the first time in February, Alper said. There was unanimity about issues the university faces — both specific to SU and those in

higher education. The committee created a vision for the candidate, which the search consultants used as a template, she said.

“It truly functioned by consensus,” she said of the committee. “And it got even better as it went along, because we got to know each other better. Everyone checked their ego at the door. And everyone listened.”

Open forums were held in March, including three separate ones for staff, faculty and students at SU. The committee held several conference calls, and published the public description of the job online in early April. There was also a more detailed description of what the committee was looking for in a chancellor, which she said was private.

SU breaks ground on athletics practice facility

By Trevor Hass Asst. Sports Editor

Syracuse University officials broke ground on a $13 million indoor football practice facility at Lower Coyne Field on the Lampe Athletic Complex on Sunday morning in a ceremony starting at 10:30 a.m.

The facility is slated for completion in eight to nine months. The project was initially announced in February and entered the design phase this summer.

“It’s an exciting, extremely motivating day,” said football head coach Scott Shafer, “and we look forward to jumping into that indoor facility as soon as they get it up.”

SU Athletic Director Daryl Gross commenced the building process of the 102,258-square foot structure in front of an audience that included Chancellor Nancy Cantor, Hall of Famer Floyd Little and Shafer.

Following the ceremony, Cantor, Shafer, Little and other SU benefactors used shovels to break ground on

the facility, symbolizing the start of the project.

The field inside the state-of-the-art building will be named after John F. Phelan, who played for Syracuse in 1940 and died in France during World War II in 1944. Board of Trustees chairman Richard L. Thompson and his wife Jean Thompson – Phelan’s daughter and a Syracuse graduate – are largely responsible for funding the facility.

The Thompsons donated $1 million to SU Athletics in July when

Syracuse officially moved from the Big East to the Atlantic Coast Conference. They have been consistent supporters of the “I’m in” campaign, a full-fledged effort to take the athletic department to the next level, according to the SU Athletics website.

At the event, Dick Thompson spoke about how Syracuse has kept par with other schools with better funding.

Now, he said he hopes this facility will bump SU into the next echelon of programs, adding that the facility’s see football facility page 8

Community reflects on 50th anniversary of Birmingham bombing

By Liz Rosario

Contributing Writer

Syracuse University and the Cold Case Justice Initiative commemorated the 50th anniversary of a 1963 church bombing, which killed four children, by featuring a speech from a Birmingham judge who knew the victims.

On the morning of Sept. 15 in 1963, a bomb exploded inside the Sixteenth Street Baptist Church, killing four young African-American girls, and was considered a racially motivated bombing.

The event, held Sunday, included a

screening of Spike Lee’s “Four Little Girls,” a documentary that follows the four girls from birth to death, as well as their families after the bombing. Helene Shores Lee, an Alabama judge who personally knew three of the victims, spoke about growing up in civil rights era Birmingham.

“A lot of people think this film is about justice and revenge,” said Paula Johnson, a co-organizer of the event and co-director of SU’s Cold Case Justice Initiative. “This was a film about love.”

The Cold Case Justice Initiative is

a project by College of Law professors and students to investigate suspected racially motivated deaths from the civil rights movement.

The documentary was followed by a speech from Judge Helen Shores Lee, the first African-American woman to serve in the civil division of the circuit court of Jefferson County.

Lee said she was family friends with three of the four girls who were killed. Watching the Spike Lee documentary for the first time, she said, “brought back horrible memories of her childhood.”

She talked about growing up in Birmingham. Being the daughter of civil rights leader Arthur Shores brought hardships — her home was bombed twice in the span of two weeks.

“I swore when I was able to leave, I would never return to this godforsaken place ever again,” she said about Birmingham.

But she returned years later to make a change in the town, she said, eventually becoming a circuit court judge of the 10th Judicial Court of Alabama in 2003. see birmingham page 8

Saturday Night Live comediennes Vanessa Bayer and Kate McKinnon will perform in Goldstein Auditorium on Oct. 16 as a part of a “Girls of SNL” event, with comedian Nick Vatterott opening the performance.

Doors will open at 7:30 p.m. and the show is scheduled to start at 8:00 p.m., according to a University Union news release.

The event will be UU’s first performing arts show of the semester. Tickets will go on sale at the Schine Student Center Box Office on Monday, Sept. 16 at 9:00 a.m.

All Syracuse University and State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry students can purchase tickets there for $5, according to the release.

Bayer is known on SNL for her impressions of Miley Cyrus and Fox host Gretchen Carlson, while McKinnon has won praise for her impressions of Ann Romney, and Penelope Cruz. Vatterott is a producer, writer and performer for the Comedy Central show “Mash-Up,” according to the release. apalme05@syr.ed

Despite recent attention, horror films fail to shake audience members

T

here’s a certain romanticism about the fall. It makes you want to curl up with the one you love, ingest anything and everything pumpkin flavored and watch an absolutely terrifying movie.

Although it’s not very close to Halloween, some surprisingly good horror films have been coming down the docket. But horror movies are no longer the quality, cultural sensations they once were. This past weekend’s release of “Insidious 2” got us geared up for the fall, but fell short of the autumnal thrills we so crave.

Despite the hoards of the teens rushing to the theater, horror movies don’t shake us out of our desensitization anymore. They’re self-parodies, and sometimes more funny than they are scary.

There was something different about scary movies when we were younger. “The Blair Witch Project,” “Scream,” and the “Child’s Play” series incited cultural obsessions. They made awesome merchandise, decent sequels and tons of money. Many have tried and failed to have a lasting effect.

CASSIE-LEE GRIMALDI

living vicariously through you There’s an incredible cash cow in the modern day horror film. Studios value money rather than quality, especially with the horror genre.

The producers and studio heads know we’re scared so they know they’ll make a bundle on large groups of people, especially young people, at the box office.

But when movies all become the same, it’s difficult to care or be swept up in the sensationalism that we used to.

Films like “The Strangers” and “Insidious” tried to change this trend. They featured solemn story lines and esteemed actors like Liv Tyler, Rose Byrne and Patrick Wilson. They were

reminiscent of the older horror dramas like “The Silence of the Lambs.”

But ultimately, they’re boring and don’t captivate us.

Although people continue to go out and see them in droves, it’s clear that they’re tedious to sit through. They’re much lower quality than the Oscar-winning “Silence of the Lambs” or the “The Exorcist.” They are flat, one dimensional and the more I go to see, the more I sit there in uncomfortable suspense waiting for the antagonist to pop out and the movie to end so we can all go home.

Our impatience with media combined with the lackluster quality of the storytelling in scary movies these days, makes it less fun to go see the horror films we are dying to see this time of year.

In contrast, horror television is really perfecting the genre. “American Horror Story” came out of nowhere and was so much better than everyone thought it was going to be. Complex magazine called the show’s fall premiere

one of the most highly anticipated returns in primetime. It’s attracting amazing writers and cast members.

The miniseries, returning for its third season, keeps coming back because it provides the viewers with the thrills we seek, but on a weekly basis.

Horror sequels may keep the fandom alive, but they’re not special. They remain derivative and we beg for them to end even more than their originals.

The days when scary movies win Oscars may not be completely behind us, though. The genre could remain boring and stagnant, but this quality could push future directors to work outside of the mold.

To be scared and amazed by filmmaking isn’t an emotional artifact of the past. It’s entirely possible and we should all be holding out hope.

Obama continues efforts of Bush to eliminate regimes, increase US influence

O

n Saturday, after just three days of talks with Russian officials, the United States agreed on a plan that will rid Syrian President Bashar al-Assad of his chemical weapons, effectively eliminating his capability to carry out chemical attacks.

That wasn’t so hard, now was it?

President Obama was forced to pursue

the last free american

diplomatic means and ditch his plans for military action against Assad only after it became apparent that Congress would not authorize it.

Chalk it up as a big win for public opinion and our representative government.

We won’t be bombing Syria and getting involved in another military conf lict – at least for now.

Though the Obama administration has made legitimate progress toward preventing further chemical attacks without firing a single missile, it continues to remind the world it is prepared to do so.

The president is refusing to renounce the use of force, saying it is still an option.

But if preventing another chemical attack was the administration’s ultimate goal, as it has stated previously, then why does it still appear eager to strike?

Why, for that matter, did the administration accuse Assad immediately after the Aug. 21 attack – despite an utter lack of evidence –, and claim that attacking him was the only option?

In reality, the ultimate goal has always been to dispose of Assad.

The Obama administration is simply continuing the strategy of the administration before it: eliminate Assad, along with various other Middle Eastern regimes, in order to consolidate U.S. power in the region and increase global inf luence.

Back in 2007, four years before the Syrian conf lict erupted, The New York Times reported that the Bush administration was hard at work funding and strategizing with the same groups now battling Assad for power.

The article, “To Check Syria, U.S. Explores Bond With Muslim Brothers,” explains how the administration plotted with the Muslim Brotherhood, the fundamentalist Islamic group that gave birth to al-Qaida, to topple the Assad regime.

As explained by Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Seymour Hersh in 2007, this practice – of using extremist organizations to overthrow regimes – was not an isolated incident.

In the article, “The Redirection,” Hersh

described the Bush administration’s strategy of supporting Sunni Islamic extremists, such as the Muslim Brotherhood and al- Qaida, to conduct clandestine operations against the Shiite regimes of both Syria and its ally Iran.

In recent weeks, Americans have grown angered at the prospect of a military intervention that would aid al-Qaida.

But is Obama simply following the doctrine of his predecessor?

Officially, the Obama administration has acknowledged the presence of al-Qaida amongst the Syrian rebels and only recently began arming them.

However, the CIA has covertly supplied the rebels with arms and equipment from Saudi Arabia and Qatar since the early days of the conf lict.

The New York Times reported in 2012 that most of these weapons were going straight to “hard-line Islamic jihadists.”

The Sunni Islamic regimes of Saudi Arabia and Qatar are known to be the biggest sponsors of al-Qaida and other Sunni Islamic terrorist groups in the world.

As reported by The New York Times in 2012, Obama gave his “blessing” to Qatar, in secret, to arm rebels in Libya in 2011.

According to The Telegraph, when the president intervened there, our efforts were actually aiding the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group, an al-Qaida affiliate, to topple the Libyan government.

And this is only what we do know.

It’s enough to realize that we continue to use terrorists to overthrow regimes that present no real threat to us, leaving these countries in chaos and creating a very real security threat in the process.

As you watch the situation in the Middle East unfold, and you’re told about national security, human suffering and moral imperatives, just realize that it’s not about any of that.

It hasn’t been for a very long time.

SCRIBBLE

Syverud proves capabilities by placing importance on student body, rankings Kent Syverud might be the chancellor that students have been waiting for.

When Syverud was named Syracuse University’s 12th chancellor on Thursday, he proved he could become a highly visible and approachable figure on campus who is willing to learn about the university’s culture.

This makes him the right choice for chancellor.

Despite concerns about Syverud’s lack of upper administrative familiarity, he enters his new position with experience as dean of law at Vanderbilt University and Washington University.

With this past experience,

Syverud brings new abilities that could make him successful in this position.

For example, his focus on students is admirable.

While interviewing employees at his previous position, Syverud gauged a candidate’s qualifications based on how quickly they mentioned students during an interview.

Despite having the responsibilities of a dean, Syverud holds weekly office hours at WU. Now, as a new member of the SU community, he plans to learn as much as he can about the community, including the experience of dining hall meals, residence halls and

EDITORIAL by the daily orange editorial board the wee hours of student nightlife.

If Syverud implements this approach on SU’s campus, he will become a highly regarded asset to the university.

Syverud’s recognition of the importance of rankings also indicates a positive future for the university.

Chancellor Nancy Cantor did not focus on college rankings.

Syverud, however, has said the university should work to better emphasize their importance.

While these rankings do not define the university, most current and future students care about them. Syverud is able to recognize that the higher a university is ranked, the higher caliber students it will attract.

The attractiveness of the university is also based on its ability to propel into the future of higher education. Syverud was successful in integrating technology with higher education while at Washington University, where he helped develop an online law degree.

It is important that Syverud is able to recognize the future of higher education.

But before looking forward, Syverud should observe the efforts of past chancellors.

For example, after observing Cantor’s focus on improving the university’s relationship with the city, Syverud should determine what will define his tenure as chancellor.

Still, attention and visibility among students should be a priority for Syverud.

Between connecting with the student body and maintaining his ideas of technology and higher education, his chancellorship could leave an immeasurable mark on the university.

syverud from page 1

Syverud, 56, has dean and associate deanships at three institutions under his belt: the University of Michigan, Vanderbilt University and most recently, Washington University’s School of Law in St. Louis. He’s worked as a clerk to Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O’Connor, and is one of two trustees overseeing the $20 billion trust fund created to compensate victims of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill.

Mark Syverud describes his “kid brother” Kent as someone who isn’t the usual prototype for chancellor, but rather a “smart guy with a regular approach to life.” He jokes that SU’s 12th chancellor was the overachieving high school student who did all his homework on Friday nights, while everyone else waited until Monday morning.

Kent is one of five children in his family, and has an identical twin brother, Scott, who serves as vice chairman of clinical operations at the University of Virginia. Steve Syverud, Kent’s son, said the two brothers really do look identical, but that Scott is four inches taller than Kent.

The Syveruds grew up outside of Rochester, N.Y., so Kent makes frequent trips to upstate New York to visit family. Just a few weeks ago, while the chancellor search was underway, the family held a reunion in Ellicottville, N.Y. It pained Kent not to tell his family he could be moving back, Mark said.

Syverud’s upstate New York background was among the main reasons he found the idea of working at SU so appealing. As a child, he was in awe of the “fantastic buildings,” and admitted to missing upstate novelties like Wegmans and the New York State Fair.

After graduating from Irondequoit High School in Rochester, Syverud went on to receive his undergraduate degree from Georgetown University and his law degree from the University of Michigan Law School.

Among Syverud’s most recognized achieve-

getting the first batch of names during April and May, finding people who were interested in the position and doing initial interviews.

In mid-June, Alper said, the committee looked through resumes and backgrounds of candidates — though she’s not sure how many — before ending up with seven people to interview during the end of July. The dates were set months earlier to make sure everyone would be available.

“When we actually decided who to interview, the whole committee was really high on Kent, just from what was on paper,” she said, though adding that doesn’t always translate to being the head of a university.

The first round of interviews was held during two days in New York — the first time the members of the search committee saw the candidates in person.

All contact was made through Spencer Stuart to ensure confidentiality in the search. In any search, Alper said, if there isn’t confidentiality there won’t be any viable candidates.

“The integrity of the committee was amazing,” she said. “Nothing leaked.”

Syverud came in from the very beginning and said he wanted the job, and Alper said he joked: “But I know I shouldn’t probably say that because it’ll hurt my negotiating.”

After the first round Syverud was clearly one of the top candidates, Alper said.

The seven from the first round were whittled down to three, and the second round of

ments is his work as one of two trustees appointed to administer the $20 billion claims fund British Petroleum set up to pay those affected by the gulf oil spill, said John Martin, a retired U.S. District Judge and current partner at Martin & Obermaier, LLC. Martin is the other appointed trustee who monitors the fund, which was established after the April 2010 Deepwater Horizon explosion that spilled masses of oil and gas into the Gulf of Mexico.

Martin and Syverud both continue to monitor the fund, and have worked closely together in the past few years.

“He’s a wonderful person, very bright, and has obviously earned the respect of everyone he’s worked with,” Martin said.

While Syverud admitted he has a lot to learn before he can develop a structured vision for the university, his mind is set on one, affirmative cause: students.

Board of Trustees chairman Richard Thompson recalled a moment during the search process that caught the entire committee’s attention — an anecdote in Syverud’s application that described one of the chancellor-designate’s policies.

“He has a metric he uses when he’s interviewing his employees,” Thompson said. “He waits to see how soon in the interview the candidate will bring up students.”

It’s a policy Syverud developed out of frustration with universities’ tendency to forget their main mission.

“They – universities – are think tanks and publicity machines and care providers who give legal services, and it’s hard to remember that at the end of the day, you’re still a school,” Syverud said.

Syverud’s colleagues at WU call his passion for student life and services his most distinctive trait. He teaches an introductory civil procedure class for all incoming students at the school’s orientation, and holds office hours weekly — an impressive feat for a busy dean, said Elizabeth Walsh, associate dean for student services at Washington University in St. Louis.

Professor Brian Tamanaha said Syverud’s

interviews were held Aug. 13-15.

Alper said there’s “not a fast answer” to why the committee recommended Syverud to the Board of Trustees. He’s passionate, intelligent, experienced, loves student life and teaching and truly listens, she said.

“We started talking. And we never had to get to a vote,” Alper said. “Because people started talking about Kent, and about their reactions to him, and it was like there was nobody else.”

Alper said if the committee hadn’t found someone, they would’ve kept going. They expected to finish the process toward the end of 2013.

The mood was very emotional, she said.

Everyone spoke and they were excited about Syverud being the next chancellor.

“So, I said at some point, I always wanted to lead this committee by consensus. Is there a consensus? And the committee members said, ‘No. It’s unanimous. We are unanimous.’”

Afterward, Spencer Stuart let Syverud know he was the candidate, and Alper said, “we didn’t have to wait five minutes,” to hear he was in. Then, like any search, contractual arrangements and background checks were worked on. A few weeks ago, Syverud visited campus for the first time as a candidate.

On Monday, the Board of Trustees’ Executive Committee unanimously supported the committee’s recommendation.

And at about 4:30 p.m. on Wednesday, the board unanimously selected Syverud as the 12th chancellor in SU’s 143-year history. dmsegelb@syr.edu

side by side On Thursday, the university announced that Kent Syverud, current dean of Washington University’s School of Law in St. Louis, will replace Nancy Cantor as chancellor in January.

Here’s a closer look at the differences between the two universities:

so dedicated to student interests that he’ll often find Syverud personally sitting with students and making phone calls to find them jobs.

“He runs the institution in a way that’s hands-on but very respectful. He listens to everyone,” he said. “Syracuse’s gain is our very deep loss.”

Syverud’s other two focuses will be creating a larger world recognition for SU and investing more in the university technologically. His views on higher education have been heavily shaped by his travels abroad, where he’s noticed a deep respect — and a sense of competition — toward American education from institutions across Asia, the Middle East and Latin America.

“If we think we can keep doing the same old thing over again, we’re in trouble,” he said.

When it comes to university rankings — U.S. News and World Report recently ranked SU as No. 62 in the country — Syverud finds them important. They are, in his opinion, one of the main gauges of students’ decisions to attend a university. That being said, he believes rankings aren’t perfect, but that if attention is focused on improving the school, they will slowly rise.

school’s 143-year history.

Joyce, assistant dean for student recruitment in the L.C. Smith College of Engineering and Computer Science, has experienced the work of three out of the 12 chancellors.

Joyce said she believes Syverud will be a “breath of fresh air” for the university, bringing a newfound perspective to the administration the school hasn’t experienced before, especially with Syverud’s legal background.

“I think we live in a very complex time, so having a legal perspective, I think in these tough times, that is a very good perspective to have,” Joyce said.

Lorraine Branham, dean of the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications, said she has a long list of things she hopes Syverud will accomplish during his time at SU. But she thinks he will need time to become familiar with the university and its students before he can take on his goals.

Branham said she is confident in the search committee’s ability to understand and select the leader the university needs; a person who will take the university “to greater heights as a world class research institution” backed by strong professional schools and colleges.

“He is clearly smart and he has an impressive list of achievements, which I hope will translate into similar successes at Syracuse,” Branham said.

Eugene Poletsky, the chair of the mathematics department, agreed that where a person

For now, Syverud plans on giving the news of his appointment some time to sink in. He’s excited and amazed by SU’s relationship with the people of Syracuse, recalling a conversation he had in an elevator at the Sheraton Syracuse University Hotel and Conference Center, where a housekeeper talked about their personal passion for the university.

He’ll keep studying SU’s history, people and culture, work on building up animus feelings toward Duke University’s basketball team and — most importantly — discover his own definition of “bleeding orange.”

He ended his address to Hendricks Chapel on Thursday by explaining the significance of SU having just 11 chancellors in its extensive history. With each new chancellor, the university takes a chance.

With a shaky, emotional voice, he expressed his gratitude.

“Today, I’m truly honored that you have taken that chance on me,” he said. “I’m in, and I hope you are, too.” meltagou@syr.edu

comes from is irrelevant. Rather, it is more important how one performs at his or her job.

He said Syverud’s credentials as a scholar, teacher and academic leader demonstrate his potential for excellence.

In his address at Hendricks Chapel on Thursday, Syverud mentioned a desire to develop a larger world presence for SU and a passion for students’ success. Poletsky said he believes the university’s national reputation is important because it will determine the quality and quantity of incoming students.

“If you want to improve the national recognition, you have to also select the best faculty to teach the students, so without a doubt it is a very prestigious goal,” Poletsky said.

From the math department’s perspective, Poletsky said, he hopes to see Syverud improve the university’s academic standards and broaden student research opportunities.

Although he couldn’t attend Syverud’s address in Hendricks, Thomas Keck, the chair of the political science department in the Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs, watched the speech online and said he thought Syverud’s remarks seemed genuine and thoughtful and demonstrated a “real energy and commitment to the enterprise.”

During her time as an employee at SU, Joyce, the assistant dean for student recruitment in L.C. Smith, said she has learned that universities are complex, multifaceted organizations.

But students will always be the focus, she said.

“I do hope that he will be visible. I hope we get to see him,” Joyce said. “I hope we get to know him as a chancellor but also as a person.” apalme05@syr.edu

On the safe side

By Leanna Kirschen

Contributing Writer

UNY-ESF has banned hunting with firearms on two of its properties to avoid felony charges from the NY SAFE Act, allowing only bow hunting and trapping as hunting methods.

The properties include 2,800 acres near the Ranger School in Wanakena and 2,500 acres in Warrensburg, N.Y., according to a Sept. 9 Post-Standard article. The ban is a response to Governor Andrew Cuomo’s NY SAFE Act, which increased the penalties for possessing a firearm on school property.

The act said hunting grounds owned and maintained by the State University of New

York College of Environmental Science and Forestry were excluded from firearm penalties. But the two areas are owned by Syracuse University and held in trust for ESF, meaning the penalties of the SAFE Act still apply, according to the article.

The school changed its policy because it was worried about students facing felony charges for possessing firearms on educational property, according to a Sept. 13 Watertown Daily Times article.

Wanakena is north of Syracuse and home to both the Cranberry Lake Biological Station in St. Lawrence County and the SUNY-ESF Ranger School, according to ESF’s website. The two properties include wildlife such as snowshoe hares, coyotes, bobcats, moose and snapping turtles.

ESF bans hunting with firearms on 2 of its forest properties

Alex Hascha, a sophomore wildlife science major from SUNY-ESF, has hunted on the Wanakena grounds and opposes the ban, saying it removes an enjoyable weekend activity.

He believes the ban is breaking up a Ranger School tradition.

He added those who hunt with firearms in Wanakena are not using them to harm others, but simply to enjoy the outdoors. Hascha said he does not plan to bow hunt or trap.

“Many of the students are hunters and have enjoyed hunting on the property. The ability to go hunting on the weekends was one of the main reasons I chose to attend the Ranger School,” he said, adding that he mostly hunts snowshoe hares and grouse.

Warrensburg, the second property on ESF’s

campus with the firearm ban, houses one of the New York Department of Environmental Conservation’s environmental education camps. According the ESF website, it includes an 85-acre lake, trails, outdoor workshops and several outdoor activities.

Andrew Timmis, a wildlife science major, said Cranberry Lake was about a lot more than just hunting.

“I never even saw people hunting there.

There was a lot of fishing, but no firearms that I could see,” Timmis said.

He added that Cranberry Lake was not about the hunting, but rather about the great company he had there and being outdoors. lwkirsch@syr.edu

After fire, church expected to resume services next Sunday

By Alfred Ng ASST. NEWS EDITOR

Sunday services for the Grace Episcopal Church are expected to resume next week, after a fire burned down the church’s kitchen and damaged the building’s parish hall.

This week’s Sunday service relocated across the street to the Temple Concord, a synagogue, six days after the fire broke out at the rear of the church. The synagogue’s rabbi, Daniel Fellman, reached out to members of the church after hearing about the fire damage, said the Rev. Johanna Marcure, the church’s rector. The fire damage may affect several church activities, and the cleanup process is still underway.

“The rabbi was gracious enough to give us this space,” said Louis Clark, a member of Grace Episcopal Church’s congregation. “I didn’t feel

creation is a “huge accomplishment.”

Gross discussed how the facility embodies everything Syracuse represents and that it’s a tremendous milestone for the university.

“We got some things done without this facility,” Gross said. “This will only enhance it.”

Shafer said his team shares the Carrier Dome with the basketball team during the latter half of the football season, which minimizes how much the team can do because it can only use 50 or 60 yards during practice.

He said he hopes the new complex will help

any difference in our worship today.”

Chuck Vanderpool, who oversees the church’s buildings and grounds, said the church couldn’t have service in the sanctuary as expected because cleanup crews were unable to remove all the soot in time.

The cause has yet been determined, but Vanderpool said investigators told him the night of the fire that it had started from the church’s kitchen stove.

Onondaga County’s Fire Investigation Unit could not be reached for comment.

“It’s going to be a big setback for the church.

Not so much for the worship part, where we would worship in the sanctuary, but it’s going to be a big setback for things we have going on,” Vanderpool said, referencing suppers, group meetings and Sunday school sessions held in the rooms damaged by the fire.

resolve this issue and will give Syracuse a chance to be more competitive in the ACC. Little said his goal is for the facility to attract recruits the same way as the Carmelo K. Anthony Basketball Center, which was built in 2009, does. He said the timing of the facility “could not be better,” as the university transitions into a new conference.

Joe Giansante, executive senior associate athletics director, closed the ceremony, expressing his gratitude to all those involved.

“Today is a culmination of a lot of hard work by a lot of people,” Giansante said, “to continue this incredible momentum that has been started here at Syracuse University.” tbhass@syr.edu

ServiceMaster, a restoration company, is currently in charge of cleaning up the damaged church, removing all the rubble and smoked items out of the building, along with boarding up windows and cleaning the walls, Vanderpool said. He estimated it will be another two weeks before they’re done.

The fire destroyed the church’s kitchen and damaged parts of the church’s parish hall, including its conference room, the church’s office and the Sunday school classroom, Marcure said during her sermon on Sunday.

The congregation has formed a restoration committee to help with the process, Marcure said. She added one of its main purposes is to look at how the rebuilding can help better the church’s community service.

Efforts to clean up the soot-filled rooms and smoke-damaged items have already begun, and

Lee focused on the events that occurred in the spring of 1963 in her talk, including the peak of the civil rights movement, sitin demonstrations, boycotts and several political marches.

There were other stories of dealing with racial issues in Birmingham: drinking from a whites-only water fountain and attending a non-segregated school for the first time, among others.

Danielle McCoy, president of the Student African-American Society, said she enjoyed the diversity of the turnout at the event.

churchgoers can expect their Sunday service to resume in the Grace Episcopal Church by next week, she said.

“This is a congregation that is very strong and has gone through critical moments,” Marcure said. “When something happens, it’s been my experience that this is a community that rallies together.”

Michael Atkins, a volunteer at the church, was at Sunday’s service and said he remained optimistic about the church’s restoration.

Said Atkins: “It pulls us closer together, and it even pulls the community together, because when you look at the outpouring of the support and people calling to see what they can do, it gives us a chance to look at our future.” alng@syr.edu @alfredwkng

“I’m very happy with the turnout. It’s very diverse and there are kids here as young as 13,” she said. “It angers me because a lot of people in our generation don’t do anything. They don’t see the change.”

McCoy said her generation should take more action, because activists during the civil rights era were the same age when they took action in the movement.

Johnson, co-director of the Cold Case Justice Initiative and professor in the College of Law, said she believed Lee’s presence brought a personal voice to the event.

Said Lee: “As we move forward into the future, it means very little unless you look back at the past.” eyrosari@syr.edu

Hispanic play gives life advice

By Lydia Wilson CONTRIBUTING WRITER

a wider audience, the Westcott Area Cultural Coalition came into existence. The coalition has been organizing the fair for four years now and puts together all the arts and culture events in the area.

Syracuse University and its students extend support to the local fair by either offering student volunteers or providing funding for the T-shirts worn by volunteers. This year, more than 100 students volunteered to be a part of the cultural fiesta. Yichi Zhang, a graduate student of finance, was one of these many volunteers.

“It is a great opportunity to interact with the local community. There

With a backdrop decorated in hand-painted cherry blossoms and Chinese architecture, paper nightingales hanging from the ceiling and incense burning on stage, the Community Folk Art Center Black Box Theater performed their production of “Los Dos Ruisenores: The Two Nightingales.”

Originally a Hans Christian Andersen fairy tale, the play was directed and adapted by Jose Miguel Hernandez Hurtado in honor of National Hispanic Heritage Month. The production had three performances Sept. 13-15 at the Black Box, which seats a cozy 115 and is located within the Community Folk Art Center. The art center is a unit of the AfricanAmerican studies department of Syracuse University, and also hosts an art gallery, screening room and dance studio.

Before the show, audience members had the opportunity to view the current art exhibition at the CFAC, “Philippe Dodard: The Idea of Modernity in Haitian Contemporary Art,” which is on display now through Dec. 7.

“The CFAC does a great job of bringing cultural awareness to our area in many different forms.

Whether it be dancing, singing or the beautiful art gallery, there’s always worthwhile things going on,” said Catherine Nock, a Spanish instructor at SU. “The Two Nightingales” tells the story of an emperor who favors the robotic chirping of a man-made, diamond encrusted nightingale over that of a real nightingale, which sings for the kingdom. The emperor then falls ill, and can only be saved by the song of the real nightingale.

Director Jose Miguel Hernandez Hurtado introduced the play in English and Spanish — the play itself is performed in Spanish. He then thanked the many people involved in the production, including the El Punto Art Studio that designed the production’s sets, and the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, who helped ensure accuracy of the nightingale sound effects throughout the production.

As the show’s director, Hurtado worked to combine his message of personal freedom and expression to audiences, while capturing a sense of the magic that is felt in the original tale.

Street beat Festival features handmade crafts, live music, local food

By Manmeet Sahni CONTRIBUTING WRITER

he streets smelled of barbecued chicken, freshly baked pizzas and cupcakes as people swarmed from booth to booth Sunday afternoon.

Every year, the Westcott neighborhood celebrates its diverse culture through the Westcott Street Cultural Fair. The one-day festival, now in its 22nd year, took place Sunday on Westcott Street. It ran from noon to 6:30 p.m.

This year’s street fair kicked off with a parade. It was a visual treat for the crowd as they cheered on giant puppets walking on sticks, drummers playing peppy beats and mesmerizing women of Baha’i faith grooving to the music.

The fair, a highlight of Syracuse’s local cultural scene, featured many live performances including appearances by local band Sophistafunk, belly dancing shows and an acoustic performance stage. Also, in one area of the street fair, the Syracuse Peace Council held a demonstration protesting the negative effects of drone attacks.

More than 100 booths were set up

on the street, offering a mix of local handmade crafts, social engagement agencies and eateries in the area. Other activities included figure drawing, henna tattooing and face painting.

Cheryl Wilkins-Mitchell, a dance instructor at State University of New York Oswego, said she utilized her booth to offer special memories of the neighborhood. She put forth pictures taken by her late mother, Marjory Wilkins, a photographer and a lifetime resident of the Westcott neighborhood. The pictures chronicled the lives and histories of the people from the area.

Sharon Sherman, the chairwoman of this year’s festival, explained that only local businesses are included in the fair.

“The Westcott area has some great restaurants. We do not want to cause harm to the local businesses,” Sherman said.

For Steve Susman, a member of the board of Westcott Area Cultural Coalition, which is the organization behind the festival, this fair brings back fond memories. When Susman moved to the Westcott area from New York City in 1974, he said he felt that

A few years back, one of Susman’s friends visited the Syracuse area from Boston. He was amazed when he saw the festival and said it was one of the most culturally diverse events he had ever seen. Susman said the festival has something to offer to people across the economic strata.

“It appeals to a really wide audience,” Susman said.

In the past, the festival was organized by a loosely structured volunteer organization based in the Westcott area. But as the annual event gained popularity and began to reach

junior public relations major, the experience was “eclectic and quirky.” She bought a pair of earrings and was glad that she could support a local business.

Said Greenberg: “I didn’t get to sample the food, but I know I’ll be back to Westcott soon for some samplings.”

Incorporate Fashion Week trends, florals, metallics into everyday wardrobe

W

atching Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week is akin to viewing a museum.

The clothing that the models wear is art — and is not meant to be attainable to the masses. Just as not everyone can put an original Monet above their mantle, not everyone can hang an authentic Versace gown in their closet.

Further, much of the clothing that comes down the runway is not meant for everyday wear, like the strapless mint green Zac Posen dress that appeared to be nothing more than an oddly folded bath towel.

Sadly, Fashion Week — held Sept. 5-12 in New York City — has come to an end and the hottest looks for spring 2014 are no longer on display.

The end of such a spectacle is indeed something to be mourned. Now where can we enjoy live video of surly looking waifs stomping down a runway in $10,000 garments? While it is fun to see the gorgeous creations of Falguni and Shane Peacock and appreciate the understated bohemian elegance of Anna Sui’s spring line, we must wonder how the looks presented are applicable to our own lives, and more importantly, our closets.

Most college students simply do not have piles of expendable income lying around their dorm rooms or apartments to splurge on new designer duds. So, why watch or care about Fashion Week? Isn’t it pointless to see unattainable outfit after outfit stroll down a runway while garish colored lights f lash in the background and new-wave electronic pop blares?

Initially, it may seem that the answer to such a question is a resounding “yes,” but if considered with the right mindset, Fashion Week can prove to be a culturally enriching experience that can be used as a tool to improve your own wardrobe.

The clothing showcased is meant to be extravagant, unrealistic and fabulous. Hence, it is important to bear in mind that these exact looks are not easily replicable — but it is very possible to emulate the patterns, shapes and the overall vibe that these outfits employ.

For example, I was particularly taken with Falguni and Shane Peacock’s liberal use of golds, metallics and bright florals. The florals

in their line were predominantly blue, but red and pink hued petals would also compliment the warm tones of the golds, and earthy metals, in turn, would pull together the entire look.

JENNA BELMONTE

never late but always fashionable For years, it was taboo in the fashion world to combine silver and gold, but such a rule has since been debunked and it is perfectly acceptable and stylish to mix your metals today. The easiest way to recreate such a look is to pair silver, gold and copper jewelry pieces with a floral top or dress. Or, layer a silver necklace with a gold necklace and compliment the duo by wearing silver and copper bracelets.

It is also important to make sure that the floral pattern you select is not too large — meaning that the flowers themselves should be no bigger than your fist and should instead be roughly quarter-sized, so as not to overwhelm the eye.

Another look that can easily be achieved is combining your metallics and florals with gladiator sandals or heavily studded heals.

Virtually all of Anna Sui’s models sported these hardware-heavy shoes — a detail that suggests that the gladiator-inspired footwear trend is not losing the popularity battle anytime soon.

Granted, with frigid Syracuse winter temperatures right around the corner, the thought of wearing floral patterns and sandals of any kind is not appealing. So, if you insist on translating these spring styles into fall fashion I recommend layering a neutral long-sleeved shirt under your top or dress and replacing the sandals with some punky, studded combat boots. As for the jewelry, it is a perennial must.

Brazilian steakhouse offers extensive all-you-can-eat salad bar, great option for parents weekend, dates, birthdays

By Nicole Fisher CONTRIBUTING WRITER

teakhouses are usually reserved for special occasions like your grandfather’s birthday or where you meet your significant other’s parents. It’s typically not a restaurant you go to for a meal with friends, especially as a college student. Texas de Brazil Churrascaria falls into this category.

An untraditional restaurant, Texas de Brazil prides itself on serving authentic Brazilian cuisine with the generous spirit of Texas. The menu is prix fixe: $24.99 for salad bar options only and $42.99 for a full dinner, which includes an interactive meat carving experience.

Gaúchos stroll around the restaurant with different fine meats on skewers asking if you would like a taste. And if you think that would be invasive to your meal experience, the restaurant has already figured it out for you. Put up a green card on your table, and the meat will keep flowing. Flip it to red though, and you will be able to digest your extravagant meal in peace.

But as a college student, the price is a little too steep and therefore I opted for the salad bar option.

Forget every notion you have of croutons, veggies and fattening dressing. This salad bar is unlike any other. With a buffet consisting of an assortment of fresh, seasonal vegetables, gourmet cheeses, meats and olives, there was plenty to eat.

I started my meal with a plateful of traditional lettuce in a Brazilian vinaigrette. The dressing had hints of citrus with diced hot pepper to give it some kick. The chunks of fruit and veggies added texture to the plate as well.

The next items I decided to try were a variation of cheeses and meats. First, I tasted a seasoned piece of Gouda. The flavors were ambiguous, making the cheese nothing special.

That said, a generous ball of fresh mozzarella made up for the experience. The size of a child’s fist, this tender cheese melted in my mouth and — when paired with the grilled and roasted red and yellow peppers, which had a charred, yet sweet flavor — made a great appetizer. I also tasted a creamy goat cheese, a smoky prosciutto and a peppered smoked salami.

For my next helping, I adventured into the seafood options on the salad bar. I took some spicy shrimp, smoked salmon, tabbouleh and fresh asparagus in an orange, sweet sauce on my plate. The salmon, in particular, was prepared to perfection. The salty flavor was reserved, and also sweet and delicate. On top

of that, the lobster bisque was creamy and not overpowering with a seafood flavor.

I might have missed out on dessert, except the salad bar buffet covered that as well. I finished the meal with a pineapple carpaccio.

The fruit was sliced as thinly as a slice of paper and seasoned with cinnamon and other sweet flavors. It was the perfect end to a tasteful meal.

To go with my food, I ordered a glass of house merlot. It complimented all the flavors of the salad bar well, with a mild flavor. The generous glass also lasted throughout the meal and was only $8.

On top of that, the service at the restaurant was delightful. The waitress made sure we were happy multiple times during the meal, and even though my table was on the balcony outside of the restaurant, she did not forget about me.

From my experience with the salad bar, it was evident that the full Texas de Brazil meal would be amazing — just not something I would consider without my parents to pick up the bill – sorry, mom and dad. Located at the mall and easily accessible by bus or car, this restaurant is an ideal option for parents weekend. nlfisher@syr.edu

NIGHTINGALE FROM PAGE 9

“It was important for our production to have an atmosphere of fantasy, and I pushed the actors, especially the adults, to embrace the fantasy,” Hurtado said.

After the show, many audience members stayed to discuss the production and the art exhibit with one another.

“It’s a wonderful cultural center for our campus. Going to a larger theater is always an excellent experience, but this smaller space offers a much more intimate connection with the performance and other audience members,” Nock said after attending the performance.

Actors wore vibrant Chinese clothing, and the nightingale costumes included handcrafted, multicolored feathers and jewels. The play involved actors of all ages and cultures, including international students from China.

This diverse atmosphere of the production drew Maggie Rivera, student involvement coordinator at State University of New York Oswego, to bring a group of international students from China and Brazil to see the show.

“Blackbox is such a multicultural place, we thought it would be fitting to bring our international students here where they can build friendships and community,” Rivera said.

Hurtado chose the CFAC for his play not only because of its great location in the heart of the connective corridor, but also because of its atmosphere of multicultural art and expression.

For Hurtado, it was important that the audience left the performance with a sense of respect for nature and personal freedom, just as the emperor discovers in the play.

Said Hurtado: “I encourage everyone, not just the people in the audience, to live life as a bird – with freedom.” lawilson@syr.edu

Nobody likes to bring up IOUs. Keeping track of cash spent on groceries, nights out and miscellaneous expenses is difficult if you happen to be sharing fees with friends or roommates. Even with the best of intentions, someone inevitably seems to get short changed.

With the recently updated iPhone app My Running Tab, co-creator and Syracuse University alumnus Stephen Fox aims to make sharing expenses a little bit easier.

“My Running Tab basically just makes sure that everybody is paying their fair share and everything is equal,” Fox said.

With the app, users can create IOUs with individual friends or groups showing how much they owe or are owed. These tabs can then be edited or paid back via PayPal or through the mobile payment app Venmo. Thanks to integration with Facebook, tabs can be created with anyone regardless of whether or not they have the app. If a friend downloads the app later, any existing tabs will be synced automatically to their account.

In addition to tracking regular expenses like grocery shopping and utilities, Fox sees the app as a way to take the pain out of splitting a check at the end of a meal.

“Rather than split the bill on multiple cards, or try to get change from the waitress, which as you know is annoying, one person could pay for it and put it into My Running Tab,” Fox explained.

At the next meal out, someone else could pick up the check, and the tabs in the app would be updated accordingly. For friends that go out regularly or plan to go on a trip together, it is easy to add those users to a group within the app.

Fox said he first came up with the idea for My Running Tab as a Kauffman Entrepreneurship Engagement Fellow and master student in the Martin J. Whitman School of Management in 2011. The idea became a reality later the next year when Fox’s brother learned iOS development and the two founded Fox Developers, LLC in 2012. The app was first released into the App store in May 2013.

Since its launch, the app has gone through a number of different iterations. The newest release, out in time for the 2013-2014 school year, includes major upgrades to the design and usability of the app.

“Before it was more for beta, and this is version one,” Fox said.

The Fox brothers are currently working on a feature that would allow payments to be made through the app by direct deposit. Long term, Fox would like to build out the social aspect of the app by allowing users to upload photos and write on one another’s pages.

According to My Running Tab’s official page in the App store, the app is perfect for almost every scenario, with one exception. “We just recommend not using it on dates,” the description reads. “Because you will look cheap.” lggorman@syr.edu

HERO

Terrel Hunt

Hunt throttled the Wagner defense for 265 passing yards and three touchdowns after tagging in for Drew Allen on Syracuse’s fourth offensive series. He led the Orange to six straight scoring drives and returned to the bench with a 47-0 lead midway through the third quarter. Most importantly, Hunt established himself as the starting quarterback moving forward.

Drew Allen

Allen notched his third strike against the Seahawks, failing to pick up a first down on SU’s three opening drives of the game. For the next two quarters, he watched Hunt earn the job that he fumbled away in the Orange’s first two games of the season. Although Allen returned in the third quarter and finished 8-of-11 for 62 yards and a touchdown, the damage was done.

West shines in wake of grandfather’s death; backs impress

By Stephen Bailey and David Wilson THE DAILY ORANGE

As the Syracuse players stormed the field before their home opener, Jarrod West kneeled in the eye of the hurricane.

Right knee touching down on the ‘G’ of the ‘ORANGE’ in the end zone, West put his forehead in his hand. He spoke with his grandfather, Frank, who passed away Saturday morning.

“I said a prayer in the end zone and I told him I’d meet him in the end zone,” West said.

Two hours later, he did. West hauled in a 65-yard deep post from Terrel Hunt midway through the third quarter and upon breaking the plane of that same end zone, immediately dropped to a knee and prayed again.

On a day when West said he had trouble getting out of bed in the morning, he not only caught that touchdown, but turned in a career performance in SU’s (1-2) 54-0 home opener win against Wagner (1-2) on Saturday.

Five catches for 147 yards and a pair of third-

down receptions on Syracuse’s first touchdown drive rounded out West’s breakout game.

“My parents tried to keep it from me, but I found out and I was pretty hurt,” West said. “But it just gave me that extra oomph to play today.”

Every weekend this summer, West drove from Syracuse to his home in Bethlehem, Pa. And every weekend he made sure to go visit his grandfather in nearby Nazareth.

“I would always try to find an opportunity to go and visit him because he doesn’t get a lot of visitors,” West said. “I felt like it made his day when he got to see me and stuff.

“He’d always wear his Syracuse hat.”

When West arrived at training camp this summer as Syracuse’s No. 1 receiver, though, he struggled. Filling the void left by Alec Lemon and Marcus Sales was a tall task, and one that resulted in West catching just five passes for 60 yards during his first two games.

But that all changed on Saturday. West caught short passes, crossing routes and the

deep ball — and most importantly, he fulfilled his promise to his grandfather.

“I was happy to see that he played well and overcame a difficult situation,” SU head coach Scott Shafer said. “Losing somebody he loves so much.”

Morris, running backs shine For the first time in 2013, the Syracuse offense’s bread and butter performed the way it was supposed to.

The Orange gashed Wagner for a season-high 236 rushing yards to complement improved quarterback play in SU’s 54-0 blowout win over the Seahawks. On Saturday alone, Syracuse bested the total rushing yardage it amassed in the first two games combined.

In the first two games, the offensive line struggled to get much of a push in the running game and to close gaps in the passing game.

Against a Football Championship Subdivision opponent, those deficiencies were remedied to open up the Orange’s best running day since last season’s Pinstripe Bowl.

“I just feel that our O-line gave us a better chance to go out there and produce,” running back George Morris II said.

And Saturday, as SU turned away from its starters earlier than they have all season, Morris reaped the benefits. No Syracuse player finished with more than 61 yards on the ground — Jerome Smith still led the team — but Morris averaged 6.2 yards per carry on his way to a 56-yard performance.

He and fellow reserve Devante McFarlane, who scored his first career touchdown, were factors in SU’s running game in the first two weeks, but found a more even share of the rotation Saturday. Morris’ nine carries were the second most on the team and McFarlane’s seven were as many as Prince-Tyson Gulley had.

“We did a really good job at the beginning of the year by giving them carries early in the game,” Smith said. “When we got home they were used to being in front of the crowd and

taking carries.”

As Syracuse enters the meat of its schedule, Morris and McFarlane will inevitably lose out on some carries, but Saturday was a sign of what the running game can provide and what it was suspected to provide all along.

“We have good backs,” Shafer said, “we just need to keep getting better up front.”

Shafer wants better attendance In the opening statement of his press conference, Shafer offered an unusual plea.

“I want to start off right now by inviting the community and fans to come out and support this team,” Shafer said.

The official attendance number read 33,299, but it was almost certainly less. The Carrier Dome was sparsely filled until minutes before kickoff, and even then it was left with patches of silver bleachers gleaming between dots of orange.

But even with the number, Shafer expected better and said he would like to “get more in the stands against Tulane.”

Tickets for the game were available online for as little as $5, and the game wasn’t available on standard television. The package required to watch the game actually cost $9 — more than a ticket to the Dome on StubHub.com.

Shafer didn’t say he was upset with the turnout, just that he wanted more, but he knows he needs to put a winning product on the field to get people to turn up.

“I was so happy for the people that showed up, and felt worthy to pay to come in here,” Shafer said. “We need to continue to put a great product on the field so people want to come.

“It’s a tough brand of football, a hardnosed brand of football, but is also consistent and clean and is likable to watch because it’s not ugly.” sebail01@syr.edu @stephen_bailey1 dbwilson@syr.edu @dbwilson2

Geyer scores 2 game-winners as Orange sweeps weekend

By Sam Blum STAFF WRITER

For 19 shots and 65 minutes, the seventh-most effective scoring team in the country was shut out.

That’s when Leonie Geyer accepted a Laura Hahnefeldt pass off a corner and rifled it into the bottom left of the cage to give Syracuse a SYRACUSE 1 1-0 lead. was a new corOHIO STATE 0 ner“That that we practiced this SYRACUSE 2 week,” Geyer said. “Laura stopped the MASSACHUSETTS 1 Hahnefeldt ball and she was supposed to pass it to me to the right to open up the space, and I shot the ball on goal and picked the right corner. Thank God we scored that.”

It was an exasperating day all around for the SU offense, which outshot Ohio State 14-0 in the second half on Sunday, but almost never scored. Geyer’s tally with 4:36 remaining saved the No. 6 Orange (6-0) as it edged the Buckeyes (2-4) late.

The game-winner was the second straight for Geyer, who also knocked in the decider in Friday’s 2-1 victory over No. 7 Massachusetts (6-1). The Orange has now won 38-straight home games dating back to 2009 — and a role change for Geyer has everything to do with it.

“I think Leo is the type of person that speaks softly and carries a big stick,” said SU head coach Ange Bradley. “We know she’s not going to be the vocal leader that we would like to have.

She’s giving to us in a lot of other ways than just her voice.”

The second game-winner was the fifth goal of the season for Geyer, which ties her for second

on the team behind Lauren Brooks. Geyer, who came into the weekend tied for the NCAA lead in assist per game, said that although her position is more primed to help assist on goals, she is making more of an effort to put the ball in the net this season.

“It’s definitely a new role,” Geyer said. “It’s a part of my game that I’ve been working on for quite a while. I love to pass, sometimes a bit too much. I really have to step it up and score and take some more shots.”

After Geyer’s goal, the Orange continued to dominate possession — an approach goaltender Jess Jecko described as a staple of the Orange’s game.

“We don’t want anyone in the circle,” Jecko said. “We try to move them outside the circle.

We want to get the ball first. We don’t even want

them to touch it inside the 25. So we body up on them and try to beat them to the ball.”

The defense helped set up the offense all afternoon. But it took until SU’s 20th and final shot attempt for the Orange to finally be able to exhale.

“It’s frustrating for everyone,” Bradley said.

“That’s where you got to go back to film, and you got to go back to repetition. It’s going to be a real big focus for us in the week ahead.”

The midfielder now has two goals in the past two contests, and though she was admittedly excited, she refused to take credit for the wins.

“It feels really great,” Geyer said. “But it was a great team effort. We played well together on Friday, and we stepped up today in the second half. I’m glad we got two wins.” sblum@syr.edu

a shot, let alone the game’s equalizing goal.

Syracuse finished the game with just four shots, and only one on frame.

“It was just a good team we played tonight,” said junior midfielder Nick Perea. “We didn’t string enough passes together and we’ll have to work on that moving forward.”

Two minutes later the Irish scored again and like its first goal, it was off a corner kick. But the difference was that junior defender Skylar Thomas wasn’t on the field.

Thomas was playing when UND sophomore midfielder Evan Panken headed the ball by Alex Bono in the 17th. But five minutes later he was limping along the sideline with SU’s training staff while an unmarked Andrew O’Malley slotted home another set piece goal.

“I think it was just lack of marking,” said junior center back Chris Makowski. “It didn’t feel like we were fully prepared to defend set pieces, and we weren’t mentally focused enough.”

Early in the second half, the same referee that deflated the home crowd in the 20th minute sealed the Orange’s fate.

Irish senior forward Leon Brown appeared to be offside, but this time the ref’s hand stayed at his side. UND’s possession went on and ended with sophomore midfielder Patrick Hodan knifing through the Orange’s defense and sliding the clinching goal by Bono.

“The back four never really changes,” Bono said. “We have a set back four, and when it does change that’s when new guys come in that aren’t as in tune with the rest of the guys.”

Monday, September 16 at 5:30 PM Hendricks Chapel Upcoming:

chase gaewski | photo editor EMIL EKBLOM (LEFT) AND GRANT VAN DE CASTEELE (RIGHT) fight for position in No. 4 Notre Dame’s 3-0 win over Syracuse. The Orange was dominated throughout.

From there SU reeled to the finish. Notre Dame forward Harrison Shipp used his speed to leisurely control possession, and the Orange’s struggles were punctuated by Mike Koegel’s red card in the 80th minute that left the team a man down.

And after all that, McIntyre spoke candidly of his team’s shortcomings on the night.

Notre Dame created chances and Syracuse didn’t. Notre Dame was clinical and Syracuse wasn’t. Notre Dame is mainly comprised of

upperclassmen, while Syracuse relies on a core of underclassmen to produce every night.

Instead of trapping himself in his own head, that’s how McIntyre defined the night.

“We were four minutes away from being 4-0 and 1-0 in the ACC down at Virginia Tech, that was more disappointing ‘cause we let one slip away,” McIntyre said. “Tonight we just lost to a very good Notre Dame side.” jcdoug01@syr.edu @Dougherty_Jesse

Wet, slippery conditions slow down Syracuse

By Phil D’Abbraccio ASST. COPY EDITOR

On any other night, Ian McIntyre would’ve embraced the rainy weather.

But on Friday night, the slippery conditions didn’t make it any easier for his Syracuse team to go up against No. 4 Notre Dame.

“I think it’s pretty awesome, to be perfectly honest,” the SU head coach said of the weather.

“Yeah, it makes it more difficult for defenders certainly, such a greasy surface. For attacking players, their ball movement and that was the difference when the game opened up.

“They moved the ball a little bit quicker than we did. It got stuck under our feet a little bit.”

In part because of the field conditions, the Orange (3-2-0, 0-2-0 Atlantic Coast) didn’t have many scoring opportunities against the Fighting Irish (2-0-2, 1-0-1) in UND’s 3-0 win on Friday night. Syracuse had difficulty keeping its footing – literally and figuratively – on the slick grass of SU Soccer Stadium and couldn’t keep up in its sloppy ACC home opener.

Syracuse’s attack fired just four shots on ND, mustering only one on net.

“Disappointing thing is we didn’t test their goalkeeper enough,” McIntyre said. “We should’ve really used these conditions to kind of skid some shots at him and put him under a little bit more pressure.”

With steady rainfall coming down early in the game, the Orange’s troubles with the conditions surfaced quickly.

A sprinting Alex Halis, with not a single defender around, couldn’t stay on his feet near the SU sideline, and a pass intended for him bounced out of bounds.

“I think it affects us a bit with keeping possession,” midfielder Chris Nanco said, “but that’s up to us to control the ball and do what we can.”

Gogo Kollie, even with his soft-ground soccer cleats, had issues with the surface on numerous occasions, most noticeably early in the second half.

The junior Kollie was in perfect position for an interception at midfield, but slipped to the ground. Notre Dame kept control of the ball, and found the back of the net on that very possession for its third goal of the contest.

“It sucks. It sucks because the ball keeps skipping and people sliding everywhere,” Kollie said. “It was really hard getting control of the ball and getting yourself situated.”

In addition to the unpredictable bounces and skips the ball took, the difficulties of maintaining balance struck the Orange much more frequently than it did the Irish, making SU’s uphill battle even steeper.

Yet even when the Orange had its chances, it couldn’t capitalize.

In the 64th minute, UND’s Grant Van De Casteele fell victim to the conditions by slipping and tripping SU’s Emil Ekblom, resulting in a yellow card and penalty opportunity for Syracuse.

Just as UND fared on all five of SU’s corner kicks, the Irish held its ground — unlike the Orange.

“The disappointing thing is we had a pretty awesome crowd for a rainy night here in Syracuse,” McIntyre said, “so that’s a little bit disappointing that we couldn’t have given them a little bit more.” pmdabbr@syr.edu @PhilDAbb

WAGNER FROM PAGE 20

had already gotten his chance, and he blew the Seahawks’ defense away.

“I’ve worked hard for this moment and it finally came,” Hunt said. “I feel like I maximized on my opportunity.”

Twenty-four days ago, Hunt went from front-runner to back burner. The redshirt sophomore who dominated first-team reps in the spring officially lost the starting job to Allen, the Oklahoma transfer, 10 days before the start of the season.

But in only seven drives, he reversed the roles again as Syracuse (1-2) tromped Wagner (1-2) 54-0 in front of 33,299 in the Carrier Dome on Saturday. Hunt completed 15-of-18 passes for 265 yards and three touchdowns in the Orange’s home opener, leading the offense to a score on every drive he manned.

“I’m excited as hell about the way he played,” SU head coach Scott Shafer said. “I really am. I think the kids rallied around him, too.”

Hunt found Prince-Tyson Gulley on a swing pass for a 30-yard touchdown to start the second quarter, connected with a wide-open Clark for a 41-yard bomb just before halftime and launched a beautiful 65-yard scoring strike to Jarrod West on his final play.

But before the 44-point rampage he catalyzed, Hunt watched from the sideline as Allen twiddled his thumbs on SU’s first three drives.

The Orange offense failed to pick up a single first down. It gained five total yards. A stream of boos filled the stadium as Allen walked off the field following a screen to Gulley that lost four yards.

But that marked the end of SU’s frustrations.

Hunt entered with a 3-0 lead and 7:07 left in the first quarter, and converted all three third downs he faced that drive. He found Jeremiah Kobena on an in route to move the first set of chains. Then after Jerome Smith scampered up the middle for 15 yards to the Wagner 41-yard line, Hunt hit West on two identical button routes to push SU to the 3-yard line.

“Last year he wasn’t even on the depth chart,” Syracuse quarterbacks coach Tim Lester said. “He wasn’t even three, four deep.

He was only getting reps as the scout team quarterback.”

Two plays later, Smith plunged into the end zone and a demonstrative rout blurred the next two full quarters.

One minute, Hunt was beaming into the Carrier Dome stands, smiling ear-to-ear while on the phone with offensive coordinator George McDonald. The next, he was back on the field, leading the Orange to four more

Sixty-four yards. Fifty-nine yards. Fortynine yards. Seventy-three yards. Hunt completed 13-of-15 first-half passes before the break for 200 yards and two touchdowns. And when the play broke down, he used his feet to extend opportunities.

Hunt ran three times for 22 yards, but more often gave his receivers a chance to get open — like when he found Ashton Broyld on the right sideline for a 6-yard gain on his last drive of the first half.

“Terrel did some things with his feet that helped some drives,” Lester said. “That’s the thing that makes him special.”

By the time Hunt launched the 41-yarder to Clark with 2:20 left before the break, more than one competition was already decided.

Hunt had won the starting job.

He came back out for the second half and polished off two more scoring drives with what Lester called the best throw of his day — a 65-yard deep post that spiraled past close coverage and into the outstretched hands of West.

“When Terrel stepped in we made more plays,” West said.

Next week, Hunt won’t have to wait. The script has flipped in the Syracuse quarterback battle, and with Hunt under center the Syracuse offense is finally functioning as planned.

“I think Terrel will be ready to start this thing off.” Shafer said of SU’s matchup with Tulane next Saturday. “I’d be surprised if I feel differently.” sebail01@syr.edu

WILSON FROM PAGE 20

three points. Almost two hours later, when Hunt left the game for good, he’d completed 15-of-18 passes for 265 yards and three touchdowns. SU led 47-0.

“Critics is critics,” said Hunt, who was shuffled into the background when Drew Allen arrived from Oklahoma in July. “They’re going to say what they want to say. You just worry about what you can do on the field and not about proving other people wrong.”

For seven series, Hunt made Wagner look like, well, Wagner. He took the field against a Seahawks team that had already lost to a Division II team this season and reminded the announced 33,299 in attendance why there were so many empty seats — this wasn’t a foe to be concerned about.

So temper expectations on Terrel Hunt — he’s not going to play like the second coming of Donovan McNabb any week — but this is now unquestionably his team.

It says much more that Allen once again struggled, this time against a miserable opponent, than it does that Hunt was so dominant.

“We had two Big Ten teams that Drew went up against,” head coach Scott Shafer said, “so I don’t want us all to get down on Drew Allen, because I believe in that kid as well.”

But Allen also got his chance against a Football Championship Subdivision opponent and blew it. He got the first three drives of the game and led Syracuse to five measly yards of total offense. He moved the ball one yard backward through the air, and even after being gifted the ball with a fumble inside the Seahawks’ 20-yard

line, the Orange mustered just three points.

It was one thing to struggle against Penn State or then-No. 19 Northwestern, but for a moment it seemed like this was SU’s destiny for the season — a squad with a serviceable defense, but inept on offense.

Then in stepped Hunt. For seven drives he set the world on fire. Six touchdowns, one field goal, 44 points.

Allen came back in and led Syracuse to a touchdown, but by then it didn’t matter — this was Hunt’s team.

“It felt good,” Hunt said. “That’s what you want to do. You never want a three-and-out.”

And he never did. Every possession he’s played this season has ended with an Orange score. Given, they’ve all come in either garbage time or against lowly Wagner, but Allen couldn’t even pick up a first down against the Seahawks in the first three drives of the game.

It seems he had us all fooled — he was never of Oklahoma quality, he wasn’t even good enough to play at SU. Maybe there was a time when he would’ve been. Maybe if he had come to Syracuse straight out of high school and started as a freshman or sophomore he would’ve become a star, but four years on the bench was too long.

For the first three weeks – his first three collegiate starts – he was quite simply inadequate. You could perhaps win games with Allen as a quarterback, but he wasn’t going to win them for you.

Somehow, that was about to be the case again on Saturday. Syracuse wasn’t going to lose with Allen at the helm — Wagner’s offense was too terrible — but it wasn’t going to pour on the points like it did with Hunt.

“I’m excited as hell about the way he played,” Shafer said. “I really am.”

Shafer said he’d be “surprised” if Hunt doesn’t start on Saturday against Tulane and unless Hunt powers another blowout, Allen probably won’t get back on the field.

He made some plays with his legs — three carries for 22 yards — and more with his arm.

Hunt got out of the pocket when plays broke down and fired passes at an average 14.7 yards per attempt.

His final drive started with a pair of handoffs, but Hunt was left with a third and long. These were the plays that Allen could supposedly make. Hunt had to answer one last question.

Jarrod West ran a post over the middle. Hunt launched a pass. The wide receiver hauled it in over the defense for a 65-yard touchdown.

Quarterbacks coach Tim Lester said it was the best throw Hunt made all day.

He came off the field with yet another reason to smile. This team is his now, just as he’s always known it should be.

SU defense pulverizes Wagner with historic performance

By David Wilson SPORTS EDITOR

The numbers speak for themselves.

Fifty-two plays. Eighty-seven yards. Four first downs. Zero points.

Whether it was a product of Syracuse’s defense or Wagner’s sheer ineptitude, the Seahawks’ offense was as pitiful as any to step on the Carrier Dome turf in the stadium’s 33-year history.

“This week we did a good job,” linebacker Dyshawn Davis said. “We were able to correct the little things. Everything just carried on to the field and we were just able to play dominant football.”

Wagner’s offense produced at a rare level of futility in the Orange’s home opener. SU (1-2) shut out the Seahawks (1-2), 54-0, in front of 33,299 on Saturday for Syracuse’s first shutout since a game against Buffalo in 2005, and the fewest yards it’s allowed since 1997 against Rutgers.

For six possessions offensive futility was the theme of the game. The first six drives — three for each team — yielded five three-and-outs, two fumbles, zero yards and just three points.

Through five drives, the Seahawks had totaled negative yardage.

The sloppy game eventually turned for SU, coinciding with Terrel Hunt taking over at quarterback, but for Wagner it remained the same. The clearly overmatched Football Championship Subdivision team operated listlessly and didn’t pick up a first down until the final minute of the first half.

After 41 Seahawk snaps, the Orange turned to a defensive lineup made up of reserves. At that point, SU had allowed just 33 yards.

“In the past we’ve struggled looking good against some of the smaller schools that we’ve played, and we’ve won games but didn’t win them pretty,” head coach Scott Shafer said. “I wanted to win this one pretty.”

The offense was certainly pretty, picking apart a lesser Wagner team for 54 points, and the defense made Wagner’s offense look ugly throughout.

The Seahawks had three drives that ended with negative yardage and didn’t find any consistent rhythm until SU cleared the bench.

“We were very motivated,” said Syracuse safety Durell Eskridge, who intercepted a pass in the third quarter, “we knew we just had to come out, play hard and communicate well.”

In each of SU’s first two games it was torched through the air. First, a true freshman threw for 278 yards in his debut. Then, last week, then-No. 19 Northwestern’s two quarterbacks combined for 375 passing yards.

It left Syracuse with a defense that was, in Shafer’s words, “pissed.”

“Tuesday, Wednesday practice it got kind of physical at times and I felt kind of bad for the scout team,” Shafer said. “They were taking their frustrations out on them.”

So even against an FCS foe, it’s a performance with which the defense can be impressed.

When the second half resumed and SU already held a 37-0 lead, it didn’t relent.

On just the second play of the third quarter, Jay Bromley, the defensive tackle who already had forced a fumble, charged into the backfield to sack Matt Misley for a 10-yard loss.

“The defenders executed the plan and where they were supposed to be,” defensive coordinator Chuck Bullough said. “And if one guy jumps out of their gap in that kind of scheme you get gassed, so it was a really good performance by

the defense.”

The starting quarterback Misley, who also is the punter, completed just four passes and kicked the ball away 11 times. The Seahawks’ quarterbacks went just 6-for-21.

But the defense was also the beneficiary of an atrocious Wagner offense that got outscored by Division II Merrimack earlier in the season.

The Seahawks were plagued by drops to exacerbate some already dreadful offensive numbers. On one instance in the third quarter, backup quarterback Chris Andrews fired a pass across the middle toward tight end Bryant

Watts, but running back Dominique Williams dove in front of the pass to make a play and the ball fell to the turf.

It was that sort of day for a miserable Wagner offense, but one that was also caused by what Davis said was the best game the Syracuse defense has played this season.

“It’s fun,” Davis said. “We lost the first two and it’s kind of frustrating because everyone wants to win. Man, it just feels good to feel that first win.” dbwilson@syr.edu @DBWilson2

HUNTING SEASON

jenny jakubowski | staff photographer TERREL HUNT finds a hole against Wagner on Saturday. Hunt threw for 265 yards and three touchdowns. After watching Drew Allen from the bench during Syracuse’s first three series, he dominated the Seahawks and soldified himself as the Orange’s starting quarterback.

Hunt spent each offensive drive wondering if and when he would get his chance to play.

This time, though, Hunt was smiling. He had nothing to worry about.

This time it was Allen who should have been nervous. Because Hunt

No. 4 Irish stymies SU in shutout

By Jesse Dougherty ASST. COPY EDITOR

Ian McIntyre paced around the field and replaced divots.

The rain, that had shined and soaked his black dress shoes throughout the 90-minute contest, had lightened, and both SYRACUSE 0 teams had left NOTRE DAME 3 the playing field.

Alone, McIntyre stared into the grass and replayed the game in his head.

But when asked why his team fell on the wrong end of a 3-0 final score, anguish was hidden by his smile.

“They’re a good team, they’re an elite team, and you have to give a lot of credit to them,” McIntyre said. “They are one of the teams I like watching the most in college soccer, tough I had to coach against them tonight.”

Syracuse (3-2-0, 0-2-0 Atlantic Coast) was shut out by No. 4 Notre Dame (2-0-2, 1-0-1) 3-0 on Friday night at SU Soccer Stadium. A game marred by consistent rain from start to finish accentuated the Irish’s skill and experience, as well as the Orange’s untimely mistakes.

“I thought we started the game actually quite well,” McIntyre said.

“But anytime you give a team a chance to score on a restart, you start chasing the game. And from there, that’s where their speed really showed.”

Down 1-0 in the 20th minute, the Orange pushed to tie the game.

After the Irish ousted a corner kick, Alex Halis found Stefanos Stamoulacatos streaking behind the defense. Stamoulacatos then passed to freshman forward Emil Ekblom in the center of the box who headed the ball past Notre Dame goalkeeper Patrick Wall, and into the back of the net.

The 1,538 fans in attendance – the fifth largest crowd in SU Soccer Stadium history – erupted in cheers and players leapt off Syracuse’s bench.

But the referee on the far sideline had his hand up the entire play.

Stamoulacatos was offside and the goal was called back. On its best scoring chance of the night SU didn’t tally
