Colleagues mourn loss of professor

By Natsumi Ajisaka ASST. NEWS EDITOR

When the professors in the anthropology department would evaluate their students, William Kelleher was always the one to find the students’ best qualities.

“He saw them for not what they were, but what they could be,” said John Burdick, the chairman of the anthropology department in the Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs.

Kelleher, 63, died Wednesday from melanoma, after being on medical leave since last spring. He was an anthropology professor in Maxwell, as well as a cultural anthropologist and author. His research focused on the violence in Northern Ireland, as well as the relationship between a community’s memory and the peacemaking process.

His colleagues and friends described him with the same trio of adjectives: quiet, gentle and attentive. They said he had a strong sense of social justice and considered him the most well-read member of the department.

“The interesting thing was, Bill didn’t talk a lot about himself,” Burdick said. “He didn’t like to stand on a mountaintop and yell out all his credentials.”

Kelleher channeled his knowledge into teaching his students, something they always appreciated, said Burdick, who knew Kelleher for about eight years.

He added that his last memory of Kelleher was visiting him in hospice.

While Kelleher was physically weak, he was “very present” intellectually, said Burdick. Near the end of the visit, they were laughing so loudly that a woman from the hospice came in and shut the door, implying they were a nuisance, he said.

Like others in her department, Deborah Pellow, a professor and undergraduate director in the anthropology department, met Kelleher during his interview for a

KEON LYN, a Syracuse cornerback, raises his hands to pump up the Carrier Dome crowd. The Orange beat Tulane 52-17 on Saturday for the 700th win in program history. SU has won back-to-back games and totaled 106 points while allowing just 17 after throttling Wagner last week. Terrel Hunt made his first start at quarterback against the Green Wave and has been almost perfect since taking over for Drew Allen against the Seahawks. Syracuse enters a bye week before hosting No. 3 Clemson, who comes to the Dome on Oct. 5 for SU’s ACC debut.

SU implements new Advocacy Center practice ADDITIONAL RESOURCES

Counseling Center: Addresses both mental health and substance abuse on campus.

Vera House: Provides women, children and men with shelter and counseling services for those in need.

SU Health Services: Includes a staff of physicians and nurses that provide students with medical care.

Hendricks Chapel: Hosts 10 chaplaincies with five world religions that help students connect with their spiritual lives.

Limited information about students who use campus resources like the Advocacy Center could now be given to an SU employee to monitor patterns of repeat offenders.

The information doesn’t typically include names, though, and if a student doesn’t want their name conveyed, it won’t be. It’s not public, and there would only be some instances where names would need to be included, such as for a subpoena.

“From the standpoint of being able to address issues, people within the university do need to be in communication. So this is not about turning it over to police, or turning it over to the

district attorney’s office,” said Cynthia Maxwell Curtin, SU’s Title IX compliance officer and sexual harassment officer.

“This is about limited conversations between those who have a need to know in order to assure that our complainant’s or victim’s needs are taken care of, and to make sure that the needs of the campus are taken care of.”

The new practice of sharing limited information was first talked about during the summer. The administration said it’s not a change in policy, but that SU is just improving communication. The practice — based on a combination of federal guidelines and successful practices — lets the university be more proactive against

repeat offenders.

Curtin’s role as Title IX officer is to serve as a resource for students, faculty and staff. She works across campus in any issue related to a “protected category,” which includes race, gender, and sexual orientation.

Title IX is a law prohibiting the discrimination of sex in any education program that gets money from the federal government.

Curtin said this limited information will be shared in cases such as harassment, discrimination and sexual violence. Though the administration didn’t provide a definitive list of cases when the information would be shared, they said it would generally involve violations of faculty-staff

Educational garden to be planted near Life Sciences

By Annie Palmer Asst. News Editor

A small garden is turning into a big achievement for Syracuse University.

The Office of Campus Planning, Design, and Construction and SU’s biology department are currently constructing an educational garden near the Life Sciences Complex, which will feature more than 30 species of trees to be monitored by students.

“As far as we know, this is the first educational garden of its kind focused on climate change anywhere in the world,” said Jason Fridley, an assistant professor in the biology department. “It’s quite an achievement for SU.” The project is slated for completion by the end of this fall, as the trees have the greatest chance of survival in the season’s climate, said Eric Beattie, director of Campus Planning, Design, and Construction. The biology department will be measuring and tracking the trees as part of an ongoing scientific research project, Beattie said.

Each tree species will be planted three times within its category.

The four categories are based on origin and include local species, species more commonly found south of Syracuse, species from an area west of Syracuse and species native to Europe or Asia, Fridley said. Within those groupings, there will also be various lineages of

trees, such as oaks, maples, hemlocks and others, he said.

The goal of planting local and non-local species is to allow students to monitor the health of trees that are adapted to different climates, Fridley said.

The Northeast, including Central New York, he said, is expected to experience a drier growing season and warmer temperatures in the coming years. The trees’ species were chosen to reflect this change and spark discussion of which will fare better than others, Fridley said.

“The garden will also provide a wealth of living plant material for biology laboratories, literally right outside of our building doors,” Fridley said. “Students will be able to see when they leaf out each spring, when they flower, how much they photosynthesize, how they use water, how they sense leaves and so on.”

The design was focused on creating a landscape that reflected a Central New York landscape, Fridley said. The biology department kept the landscaping team’s basic design, but maximized its use for education and the general public, he said.

Planting the trees will involve “regrading” the site, which involves lowering the incline of areas on the property to improve sidewalk and pedestrian flow, Beattie said. The sidewalk connecting College Place to the intersection of Comstock Avenue and University Place will also be

extended and lowered to create a more gradual slope, he said.

Designs for the landscaping project have been established since Life Science’s creation but were postponed due to a “tight budget” which the construction team felt should go toward completing work in other areas of the building, Beattie said.

Beattie said the sidewalks will be laid in the coming weeks, trees will be planted in October and

November, and the grass will be seeded shortly after. Depending on how the weather is this fall, he said, landscaping might continue into the spring.

“We knew we could postpone the landscaping for the future and now we’re doing it,” Beattie said. “It’s now become a nice opportunity to combine finishing a landscaping area with doing something from an educational standpoint.” apalme05@syr.edu

Federal Reserve policies harm Americans, primarily benefit wealthy

T

he U.S. stock market ended the past week on a sour note.

The market declined as a result of the Federal Reserve’s announcement that it will continue pumping nearly $100 billion into the economy each month, despite concerns that such actions will actually harm the economy in the long run.

Similar actions by the Fed eventually cause recessions that devastate the American middle class, only to be “fixed” by giving trillions of dollars to the very same banks and businesses whose risky behavior helped create the whole mess in the first place.

It’s a vicious cycle, and it hurts everyone except those responsible.

The vast majority of Americans do not understand how their own country’s banking and monetary system, headed by the Fed, work.

Henry Ford once said this was a good thing.

“For if they did,” he said, “I believe there would be a revolution before tomorrow morning.”

The very name of the Fed is misleading – there are few things federal about it. The president of the United States nominates the

the last free american members of its Board of Governors, but any significant government involvement stops there.

The Fed is an independent agency, controlling the supply of money and manipulating the economy without any approval from government.

The Fed alone has the power to create money, which it creates from nothing in unlimited amounts, lends out on interest and profits from.

The 12 banks that make up the Fed are essentially private corporations, in which the likes of Bank of America and Citigroup hold stock and receive payments on their holdings.

These Fed banks are almost always run by former Wall Street banking executives. The current president of the Federal Reserve Bank

of New York, the largest of the Fed banks, previously served almost 20 years at Goldman Sachs.

While the Government Accountability Office audits the Fed every year, they are given little to no access. Attempts to address this are consistently shot down in Congress, but former Rep. Ron Paul, R-Texas, and his colleagues from both sides of the aisle were able to make some progress in gaining more access in 2011.

The GAO was able to find that in the few years prior, the Fed had secretly given $16 trillion to major financial institutions, wealthy individuals and central banks throughout the world. They also found several instances where Fed board members used their influence to benefit their own banks and companies, as well as themselves.

To give an idea of just how much $16 trillion is, the entire gross domestic product of the United States is slightly over $15.5 trillion, according to the World Bank.

So why is Congress opposed to more transparency in the Fed, again?

In 2009, the second most powerful Democrat at the time, Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., said of banks: “they frankly own the place.” The

same year, Rep. Collin Peterson, D-Minn., said that banks “run the place” because “they give three times more money than the next biggest group.”

The distribution of $16 trillion in secret was one of the biggest scandals in the history of the world, but it went virtually unreported in the media. Why? Because the Fed does not only “run the place” in Washington, D.C., but in virtually every media corporation, every industry and everything the American public sees and hears.

Mayer Amschel Rothschild, a pioneer of central banking in the 18th century, is referred to as “the founding father of international finance” by Forbes magazine. He founded the Rothschild Family banking dynasty, the most successful business family in history.

In 1790, he proclaimed: “Let me issue and control a nation’s money and I care not who write the laws.”

Today, these words are as true as ever.

Seth MacFarlane’s latest show lacks intelligent humor

O

ftentimes, a big name backing a show isn’t enough to make it a success. This fall, there are tons of big names behind new pilots, one of them being Seth MacFarlane with his latest show, “Dads,” which premiered on Fox Sept. 17.

The show effectively alienates audiences with offensive comedy, but is ultimately at home on Fox. “Dads” is about two grown men whose fathers move in with them.

The show falls flat. It lacks the balance between distastefulness and charm, which most MacFarlane fans seem to love.

I don’t foresee the show turning into anything but a sad mess.

Unlike “Family Guy” or MacFarlane’s other hit, “American Dad,” the characters on “Dads” are real people. They aren’t detached, hyperbolic cartoon characters. They’re depressing, angry white men who dismiss everyone who is not them with actual racial slurs.

According to an article from Salon.com, after negative reviews from critics, the chairman of Fox, Kevin Reilly, said that viewers and critics should be patient with the show. He said it’s a boundary-pushing show that makes a statement about comedy in the 21st century.

If there’s a place for “Dads” though, it’s Fox. The network started off as a brash, in your face, get-people-talking type of channel. These days, its programs are all over the place.

Fox has never really been top dog. “New Girl” and “The Mindy Project” aren’t complete hits, but they’re compelling shows.

We can only hope that a big name show like “Dads” was placed before them to bolster ratings and bring a different type of viewer to Tuesday nights.

What “Dads” does wrong is that it assumes we’re going to take the bait of racist, sexist jokes, and think it’s funny.

Because it’s stamped with

living vicariously through you MacFarlane’s name, there’s a good chance that a large proportion of people will watch it simply because they either love or love to hate him.

Shouldn’t someone with such a large audience try showing off a little with intelligent comedy?

Instead, “Dads” capitalizes on crude, simple humor and is a onenote awful show that successfully polarizes its audience.

I didn’t laugh or smile when I watched the pilot episode of “Dads.”

It made me uncomfortable and sad.

When I saw MacFarlane’s “Ted,” I admit, I enjoyed the brief moments of clever humor and well thought out jokes, as I did with “Family Guy,” though I’m not the show’s biggest fan.

However, “Dads” was less than funny. I was begging for it to end. It was sexist, racist and depressing.

We get it. Seth Green has a love/ hate relationship with his father.

They insult a woman for good measure, as they do when the two male leads force an Asian female employee to dress up as a giggling, Chinese, school girl.

Producers and writers have described its jokes as “equalopportunity” offenses.

But being offensive is old hat.

It’s been done before. It’s insulting to the viewer’s intelligence and background.

Should viewers really wait for you to say something profound and funny, while you berate us with insults to their intelligence, race, sexuality and countless other things? No, thanks.

Advocacy Center, university should provide clarity, transparency on new practice By implementing changes at the Advocacy Center, the university is being proactive in checking for repeat sexual offenders. Still, more clarity is necessary for students to fully understand what these changes entail.

In some student cases, the Advocacy Center will now pass limited information from student accounts onto the university’s Title IX officer. This information varies between cases, but will not typically include such specific details as names.

The goal is to compare accounts to look for signs of repeat sexual offenders.

It’s practical of university officials to consider the potential for repeat offenders on campus, although there are no current issues. The details regarding what specific information will be shared

EDITORIAL by the daily orange editorial board are vague, though, and lack clarity for students.

The Syracuse University student body needs to be made aware of what information could be reported to the Title IX officer.

It is not enough for staff and volunteers to just inform students about the change upon arriving at the center for assistance. The student body should also receive an email notification about the new practice. Without this, misinformation about the changes could spread, which may deter students from taking advantage of the center’s services.

The Advocacy Center is viewed as an attractive resource because

of its one-on-one, personal assistance. The center should consider how students will perceive its image once they learn about this new practice. Lack of information about the change could cause students to lose trust in how the center functions.

Students should also know there are other campus resources that are considered “privileged,” which means confidential information remains within these places. The Counseling Center and Vera House are both options that grant total privacy.

The issue of sexual assault is an extremely sensitive topic, particularly for anyone who encounters any form of abuse. To properly address this issue, the Advocacy Center and university officials should be more transparent and handle it with care.

RADIOACTIVE SUNY-ESF offers course on environmentally friendly manufacturing process illustration by andy casadonte | art director

By Leanna Kirschen

S

CONTRIBUTING WRITER

UNY-ESF is offering courses in radiation curing for the first time this fall with its Advanced Certificate program.

Radiation curing is used to cure, or dry, coatings, inks, adhesives and other materials in an environmentally friendly manner, according to RadTech, the ultraviolet light and electron beam processing company that the school has partnered with to create the program. It is a fast-growing technological area that costs less than traditional methods, said Howard Hollander, outreach program manager for the State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry.

It is often used to dry the coatings of cavities and make the waxy coating on cereal boxes, Hollander said.

The program will also have an interactive webinar series on the trends and

issues experienced in radiation curing technologies, which includes videos detailing the production line process, Hollander said.

S tudents graduating from this program will have the opportunity to go into a variety of scientific fields, including engineering and technology, he said. Different companies may also send employees to become certified in radiation curing through the program, he said.

“It provides many benefits to students, in that it gives additional knowledge on a growing industry,” Hollander said.

The course includes three 500-level classes, a total of nine credits, according to the SUNY-ESF website.

For the classes, students have three options: to take at least one class for no credit, at least one class for credit or all three classes for credit while earning an Advanced Certificate in radiation cur-

ing, Hollander said.

He said it costs the same amount as yearly tuition and is similar to a graduate degree in that students apply for admission and it is accredited by the SUNY system.

The program will also offer courses completely online, Hollander said. This means that students can receive all materials online, correspond with professors via email and take tests on Blackboard, he said.

C urrently, the program faces low enrollment rates, Hollander said. But the program only takes one semester to get an additional degree and students will have a “leg up” compared to others going into the same industry, Hollander said.

Said Hollander: “The biggest beneficiary is the practitioner, but (the benefits) can extend to others within a company, through the spread of knowledge.” lwkirsch@syr.edu

“He was kind and good and smart,” Pellow

said. “I’ve lost a friend. I’ve lost a colleague. He was an important person to me.”

She called Kelleher a good teacher. He was nurturing and a “real proponent” of students, Pellow said.

When Azra Hromadzic first met Kelleher, she was in Philadelphia interviewing for her current position as an assistant anthropology professor position in Maxwell.

Kelleher listened attentively, she said, and had a “quiet energy.” His sense of humor, she said, was just as understated and gentle.

He rarely dominated the conversation at faculty meetings, but when he did talk, “people listened,” said Hromadzic.

Kelleher never forgot what it was like to be a new faculty member, Hromadzic said.

The students he worked with were very important to him, and he treated them and his junior colleagues with respect, she said.

He was critical and pushed his students intellectually, but “never stopped thinking of them as human beings,” Hromadzic said. “He knew how to make people work harder,” she said, and believed in their creative potential.

What she misses the most about him, she said, is his quiet presence and his support. She said she especially feels his absence at faculty meetings now.

She found out about Kelleher’s death, like others in the anthropology department, through a department email Wednesday morning before teaching a class.

Hromadzic said she’s still processing the news.

“You feel like you’re doing something but not functioning,” she said. “I feel like I’m living in an aquarium.”

Said Hromadzic: “He made my life better.” najisaka@syr.edu

policy, student code of conduct or criminal matters.

“But I’ll need enough information to figure out, ‘Do we have somebody who is doing this kind of conduct at parties, perhaps using a rape drug. Do we get a pattern? What kind of parties, when are they happening, do we have a pattern of this happening in a particular hall in a dormitory?’” Curtin explained.

When a student needs assistance, such as issuing a no-contact order or moving to a different location due to an emergency, Curtin said, those who provide these kinds of services would be contacted and some information from the student account would be shared.

“And that typically means, the complainant’s name is going to be known, because that person may be moving, or that person may be needing assistance with class,” she said. “So once again, that’s not a change.”

When asked if there was problem with repeat offenders at SU, Curtin said: “No. Thank goodness.”

The change is described by the administration as a new practice rather than a new policy.

Kevin Quinn, senior vice president for public affairs, said the Advocacy Center in and of itself isn’t changing. It’s still the resource students are used to, he said, and students shouldn’t be deterred from going there. Quinn emphasized again that if a student doesn’t want their name conveyed, it won’t be.

The idea for the new practice is based on a combination of best practices and more specific direction from the U.S. Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights.

The administrators involved in making the change also referenced 2013 guidelines from the Office for Civil Rights regarding a situation at the University of Montana-Missoula. In a letter sent to the university, the department identified reforms the campus needed to make to prevent sexual harassment and assault.

In fall 2011, the university received reports that male students sexually assaulted two female students on campus. When Montana conducted its own investigation, the university received seven additional reports of student-on-student sexual assault between September 2010 and December 2011.

In May 2012, the U.S. Department of Justice launched its own investigation on the university and made suggestions about how to better comply with Title IX. The university then agreed to make changes to its practices and procedures.

The letter said the agreement will serve as a “blueprint” for universities across the country to protect students from sexual harassment and assault.

On Sept. 15, the volunteers at the Advocacy Center were informed of SU’s new practice.

The director of the Advocacy Center, Janet Epstein, directed all questions to Rebecca Reed Kantrowitz, interim senior vice president and dean of student affairs.

Kantrowitz said when students go to the Advocacy Center, it will be up to staff and volunteers to inform students about the new practice.

She added that there are other resources available to students including the Counseling Center, chaplains, SU Health Services and Vera House. All of the information shared at these places, Kantrowitz said, will remain in these places. mhnewman@syr.edu dmsegelb@syr.edu

CRAVE Arts Festival features live, interactive, avant-garde performances

By Margaret Lin CONTRIBUTING WRITER

n array of rainbow leotards, black Jabbawockeez-esque masks and neon traffic-worker vests combined into a colorful explosion at Café Club Surreal this weekend.

The performers demonstrated that the event was anything but reserved. The avantgarde café stood out among the other events during this weekend’s CRAVE Arts Festival.

The Café Club Surreal performance is one of many events during the CRAVE Arts Festival, which ran Friday and Saturday and focused on the multiple facets of contemporary art in the Syracuse area. The inaugural CRAVE Festival was inspired by a similar arts festival in Seattle, Wash., called ArtsCrush. With the creator of the Seattle festival, Sam Read, at the helm, events like spoken-word poetry shows, visual art exhibits and music concerts took place in various locations across Syracuse. All were accessible by the Connective Corridor.

During the Café Club Surreal show, aerialists, acrobats and actors in costumes — ranging from quirky Playboy bunnies to nature-inspired bodysuits — interacted with other performers. A large TV with digital graphics and art played in the background of the aerial rig in the center of the plaza.

emma fierberg | staff photographer Café Club Surreal performers took the stage Friday evening for the CRAVE Arts Festival, but the Saturday evening performance was cancelled due to rain.

Corinne Tyo, a production coordinator at SU Arts Engage who helped plan the production, described the scene at Café Club Surreal as avant-garde characters that walked in and out of the setup of bright red tables and chairs in the AXA plaza during the show.

“Picture your normal nightclub cafe,” said Tyo, a recent Syracuse University graduate. “You have the music, you have the food, the drinks, the coffee, that sort of scenario.

Except with this it’s sort of obscure. There’s something a little off.

“The big thing I took away from planning this show that I think applies to the rest of the festival as well is that technology

‘Blithe Spirit’ play utilizes strong cast, set design in long-winded script

By Vince Loncto STAFF WRITER

For those who like witty, biting dialogue, “Blithe Spirit” is certainly an enjoyable show.

Syracuse Stage premiered “Blithe Spirit,” Noel Coward’s 1941 comedy last week. The story revolves around the loves — past and present — of novelist Charles Condomine. Condomine and his second wife, Ruth, invite their friends over for a dinner party at their home and shortly after begin to discuss a séance, planned for later that evening.

All are skeptics of the séance, especially after being introduced to the eccentric and energetic medium, Madame Arcati. In fact, Charles is interested simply to do research for his next book. But during the séance, his dead former wife Elvira’s spirit is summoned. Charles is the only one who can see or hear her, and the rest of the party thinks he is playing a trick on them.

Eventually, Ruth begins to suspect Elvira wants to kill Charles so the two can be together

is ever-changing,” Tyo said. “It’s the job of the art world to transcend that and almost be ahead of the technology.”

Café Club Surreal is run by SU Arts Engage with help from two local companies: CirqOvation and the Building Company. SU Arts Engage, a campus-based performing arts organization, brought artists from the two companies, as well as students from the College of Visual and Performing Arts drama department, to participate in this

in the spirit world. In an ironic twist, Elvira kills Ruth, prompting her to return as a spirit and attack Elvira. A desperate Charles calls Madame Arcati back to expel both spirits, and leaves on a vacation, ending the show without a firm sense of closure.

Director Michael Barakiva did a masterful job using the space that the John D. Archbold Theatre at Syracuse Stage provided, as scenic designer John Iacovelli’s living room set proved to be a perfect size to capture the action. Much of the cast did a tremendous job of feeding off one another’s energy, emphasizing key phrases in good-hearted ribbing, which led to an overall smart and amicable show.

The best performance was given by Jeremiah Wiggins, whose portrayal of Charles amusingly played on the advantage of having two women fight for his attention. Wiggins was able to go back and forth from talking to Ruth and Elvira in alternating moods, showcasing quick versatility and superb comedic timing in

some of the more challenging scenes.

Another strong character was Ruth, played

by Jody Parsons. Parsons played Ruth with esteemed and sharp wit, making her into a woman any man would want to impress. As Ruth’s situation grew more uncomfortable with the constant presence of Elvira, Parsons was able to show her uneasiness, without losing the demeanor expected from women of that era.

The scenes between Parsons and Wiggins were especially entertaining and their chemistry won laughter from the audience.

Curzon Dobell and Elizabeth Ingram, who played the couple’s friends, the Bradmans, were solid players, though unable to make anything notable out of their smaller roles. Patricia Hodges conveyed a fairly convincing Madame Arcati, performing the séance scenes with incredible energy. However, Hodges lacked the clout with contesting dialogue that the rest of the cast had.

Elvira, played by Gisela Chipe, was charming, but entirely too childish. Sure, it is fair for

a woman who has been dead for seven years to be excited to return to earth, but at times Elvira danced about the stage in a very juvenile manner.

Lastly, Antonieta Pereira played the Condomine’s house servant Edith. Pereira, a senior acting major at Syracuse University, excelled in bringing physical humor to what would have otherwise been a forgettable character.

Despite a strong cast and advantageous usages of space and props, the script gets too long-winded and dialogue-dependent. Several times throughout the show, characters have lengthy conversations that do nothing to drive the plot, making the show slow down and unable to pick itself back up.

Coward, who wrote the show amid airstrikes on England, undoubtedly crafted the comedy as a way for the London public to mentally escape from World War II. However, at some point in the second of the three acts, they may have wanted to escape the theatre as well.

interactive show. SU students involved with the show had several weeks to rehearse their roles.

“You develop a character and how they move and talk, but then you just got to work with what the other actors are giving you and what the audience is giving you,” said Keith Caram, junior acting major and performer in the show.

Leah Slater, a senior acting major and performer, said the show is 95 percent improvisation and 5 percent work from rehearsal. The characters mostly interacted with one another through physical and verbal interactions along the sides of the cafe tables, although occasionally the characters meandered through the thick of the audience.

Audience members admired each performer’s unique costume, which came from VPA assistant drama professor Stephen Cross, as well as through the actors’ own sources.

At one point, junior acting major and performer Tyler Wiseman pushed the limits of the audience’s comfort when he stepped out in a chrome Daft Punk-esque mask and simply stood and stared at the people around him. One audience member called this experience “really disturbing,” Wiseman said.

Later on, audience members began dancing with hula-hoops, posing with characters for photos and practicing yoga with various actors

in the show. As the night wound down and the wind picked up, the actors did their best to keep the audience’s spirits up as people flowed in and out of the plaza. Ultimately, seats began emptying out 90 minutes into the two-hour show.

Tyo, however, said she had an overall positive feeling about the effect of this show, since it was unlike most shows performed in Syracuse.

Said Tyo: “This is the type of entertainment that you can’t ignore or pull away from.

It’s so intriguing and so interactive that you want to be a part of it. It’s time for this kind of thing in Syracuse.”

Bite-sized W

Small Plates restaurant serves small portions with big flavors

By Nicole Fisher CONTRIBUTING WRITER

hile Armory Square offers a slew of upscale dining experiences for local and student communities, one of the biggest concerns when dining downtown is the high cost. At Small Plates, though, you will get a good deal without compromising the quality of food.

The first thing I noticed upon walking into the restaurant was the relaxed and comfortable atmosphere. The space, which used to house PJ’s Pub & Grill, has been renovated and now has a spacious, modern dining floor.

With a graffiti-like mural hanging on a wall, metal seats and wooden tables, the restaurant looks like a cool spot to chill with friends for lunch or go out for drinks and, of course, small plates of cuisine.

The restaurant, which has one other location in Detroit, Mich., received its name from the small plates used to serve meals — very similar to tapas. Instead of one large meal, you order several dishes and share the appetizer-sized portions. For lunch, the service suggests three to four dishes for two people, each ranging in price from $6 to $13. You can order the dishes all at once, or while you eat, but they come out in no particular order.

When the kitchen has it ready, that’s when it comes to your table.

We ordered the Baja style fish tacos as a starter. Hailing from the West Coast, I thought this restaurant had a lot to live up to. And they nailed it. Our seared marinated tilapia, with mango cucumber jalapeno salsa, cilantro and key lime sour cream tacos were served in a zigzag taco contraption. The sour cream, which was drizzled over the top, complimented the sweet salsa very well. With hefty portions of flaky fish, one taco was a perfect serving.

Next, came the lotus flower tuna. On top of the crispy, fried wonton, seared sesame crusted tuna was layered over a mango avocado salad with wasabi aioli and miso vinaigrette. Though a little hard to eat without making a mess, the flavors worked well together to create an intensified taste. The avocado was a little lost in the dish, yet was appreciated when found. The fresh sprouts sprinkled on top also added a fresh touch to the plate.

To complete the meal, our deconstructed Caesar salad was served last. Two wedges of Romaine lettuce were topped with herbflavored croutons, shaved Parmesan cheese and a creamy Caesar dressing. A small portion of anchovies sat along the side. The portion was a decent size for two but would have been a tad small if sharing with more. As a typical salad, there was nothing that made this dish stand out — but it was delicious.

By the end of the meal, I felt full but was not about to enter a food coma.

Each dish was served with a lovely presentation, proving the restaurant’s attention to detail. I wanted to devour each portion before it was even set on the table.

But the superb service was what made the

Constantly checking up on us, our waiter was knowledgeable about the plates on the menu. His suggestions seemed genuine, and I appreciated his attentiveness. He even brought out another Diet Coke before I finished my first, predicting I would ask for another — which I probably would have. He never made us feel rushed, and busboys came around asking if we were OK every once in a while, too.

With only a few people in the restaurant dur-

ing lunchtime, it was evident the restaurant has had a slow start. Yet business is picking up with a dinner waitlist on the weekends, according to the waiter. As word gets out and regulars keep

coming back, I predict this place will be the up and coming place to dine in Armory. So head over there now before the waitlist gets too long.

Syracuse forces, capitalizes on Tulane’s special teams blunders

By Trevor Hass ASST. SPORTS EDITOR

Eric Crume stomped off the field like a Tyrannosaurus Rex. Moments earlier, had he blocked Peter Picerelli’s punt deep in Tulane territory and the ball had bounced out of bounds.

That was one of four Green Wave special teams blunders in the first half. Syracuse (2-2) capitalized on those miscues en route to a 52-17 win over Tulane (2-2) in front of 36,128 at the Carrier Dome on a Saturday matinee.

“We saw a weak point, and we wanted to take advantage of the opportunity,” Crume said about Tulane’s special teams.

That weak point wasn’t a spur of the moment observation or audible. It was a weeklong study of the nuances of Tulane’s special teams unit.

Syracuse defensive back Darius Kelly said Tulane has a prostyle punt formation with three players protecting the kicker. Once one guy chases an approaching player, Kelly said, blocking the kick isn’t too difficult.

That’s exactly what happened late in the first quarter when Syracuse already had a 14-3 lead. Tulane was forced to punt after a threeand-out. Picerelli lined up to boot the ball downfield, but Kelly had other ideas.

He came off the edge and swooped in from the outside. One player got a hand on him, but Kelly was long gone. He deflected Picerelli’s punt. Durell Eskridge controlled the loose ball and Syracuse took over at the Tulane 6.

“The outside guy had his hand on me, but it was late,” Kelly said. “It was way too late.”

From there it was just a matter of who would score for Syracuse and when that touchdown would come. The Orange scored a touchdown all seven times it entered the red zone with Terrel Hunt in the game on Saturday.

This time it was Clay Cleveland who caught

Hunt’s pass. He had an ocean of empty space to corral the ball and sidestep into the end zone.

Tulane’s special team deficiencies surfaced once again at the start of the second quarter.

Green Wave return man Kedrick Banks backpedaled with a handful of Orange players as the ball bounced toward the end zone. He did the one thing he couldn’t — he touched the ball.

Syracuse’s Devante McFarlane pounced on it, and the Orange only needed three plays to score from there. Hunt ran 16 yards for a touchdown, extending Syracuse’s lead to 28-10.

Minutes later, after another three-and-out

by Tulane, Crume burst up the middle and blocked the punt with his left hand, paving the way for a touchdown run by Prince-Tyson Gulley and a comfortable 35-10 lead.

“My eyes lit up and I stuck my hand up,” Crume said. “I saw an opportunity.”

Crume’s teammates often jibe at him for having short, alligator arms and Shafer called him 5 feet, 8 inches in his press conference, even though Crume is listed at 6 feet. But on that play, his arms were long enough.

“It brought me back to my basketball-playing days when I would try to block a shot,” Crume said.

A significant chunk of SU’s offense stemmed from its mind-blowingly active special teams unit and Tulane’s mind-blowingly inept special teams unit.

When Tulane kicker Cairo Santos lined up for a field goal, he did so with a streak of 25 consecutive field goals to his name. Seconds later, that streak was no more.

Santos had no time. Milliseconds after the ball flew off his foot, John Raymon was there to bat it down.

It didn’t matter whether Santos or Picerelli was doing the kicking. Syracuse’s special teams unit was everywhere. Two blocked punts and one blocked field goal. All in the first half.

The last time the Orange blocked two kicks in a game was against Buffalo in 2004.

Syracuse head coach Scott Shafer said he thought the Orange would be able to exploit the tackle lanes gap. He said he was pleased with the way his team prepared for what turned out to be a glaring hole for Tulane.

An area that Kelly said lost Syracuse games last season, won SU the game on Saturday.

“I thought the kids did a great job,” Shafer said, “and they went after it.” tbhass@syr.edu @TrevorHass

2012 team.

“Syracuse football is back, baby!” he shouted. He must have said that phrase or some slight variation of it 14 times in a halfhour span.

For a while I didn’t believe him. I bought that the 2012 Syracuse team was back and that they had a chance to make a bowl game. But at the time, I didn’t buy that the team was back for the long haul. But with the Greg Robinson years in the past, the Doug Marrone years as a foundation and the Scott Shafer years upon us, perhaps Syracuse is back.

Thus, you should come to SU’s game against Clemson on Saturday, Oct. 5. Not just to watch Clemson, but to watch the Orange. After blowout wins against Wagner and Tulane, things are looking up for Syracuse football. This team might be better than people expected.

Sure, Wagner and Tulane aren’t the greatest

sports@ da ilyor a nge.com

football teams ever assembled. Frankly, they’re bad. But the Orange didn’t just beat those teams. They throttled them, clicking on all cylinders and executing to a T. “People said you won last week, but yeah it was Wagner,” Syracuse head coach Scott Shafer said after Saturday’s 52-17 pummeling of Tulane. “Wagner was a good football team, as is Tulane.”

They’re really not that good. I expected Tulane to be better. Its offense was stagnant, its defense was almost as bad as Wagner’s and its special teams unit — sans star kicker Cairo Santos — has about as much talent as that of a nearby high school team.

With that said, Syracuse looked mighty fine on Saturday for the second week in a row.

First off, Terrel Hunt exceeded expectations by a long shot. He has more total touchdowns — nine — than incompletions thrown — eight — and his ability to make something out of nothing makes the offense electrifying.

In a second-quarter scramble from the Tulane 16-yard line, he bolted up the right

side, making safety Darion Monroe miss at the three. Then he helicoptered into the end zone over lunging defensive end Andre Robinson.

Another reason is Jerome Smith. His typical catchphrase is that “the hay is never in the barn.” But after Saturday’s resounding win, the running back tweeted after the win that it was.

Smith’s already rushed for six touchdowns, which is tied for fifth in the country. On Saturday he made a nasty one-handed snag that earned the No. 6 spot on SportsCenter’s Top 10 plays the following morning.

The defense also shined against Tulane after shutting out Wagner. Shafer urged his former unit to hold Tulane scoreless in the second half. And that’s exactly what it did. Tulane’s drives were as follows: punt, interception, turnover on downs, punt, punt.

To say that Clemson’s offense is better than Tulane’s would be egregious.

Instead, I’ll simply say that the defense is better than I thought it was at the start of the season. Clemson is nasty, but the Syracuse

defense won’t be totally embarrassed. I think Clemson will win the game, but I don’t think it will be quite the blowout people expect.

“Clemson’s a real good team,” Syracuse defensive back Darius Kelly said on Saturday.

“They’re fast, they’re strong. We’re going to see what we can do these next few weeks.”

So head to the Dome to watch Syracuse, not just to see Clemson. The Syracuse team is exciting, and maybe it really is back, like MacPherson told me last year. It’s a new era, and life in the Atlantic Coast Conference may be less of a rude awakening than I thought at the start of the year.

Walking through stadium control last Saturday, MacPherson was asked a simple question by the security guard.

“How’s it going?”

MacPherson stopped, looked up at the guard and raised his bushy eyebrows.

“ACC,” he said, nodding his head and walking away. tbhass@syr.edu @TrevorHass

ing his second-career rushing touchdown, to piece together another offensive clinic in Syracuse’s 52-17 win, the 700th victory in program history.

By halftime, for the second straight week, Hunt had blown his opponent away. A remarkable first half saw him complete 14-of-17 passes for 168 yards and three touchdowns, rendering the final 30 minutes meaningless.

He opened the game with three straight completions, spread around runs by PrinceTyson Gulley and Jerome Smith. On the very first play, Hunt had a new challenge: pressure.

Against Wagner, he never even saw a hand in his face. When he dropped back for his first

pass against the Green Wave, he ended up on the ground. But he got his check-down off in time and Smith turned downfield for 20 yards.

Less than three minutes later he got hit again and once again found Smith for a sizable gain and a touchdown.

“The game plan was a lot easier and we’re just executing like that,” Hunt said, snapping his fingers.

With Hunt behind center, Syracuse has found its rhythm. The Orange scored on its first three drives to extend his streak of scoring drives to 11 before SU was finally limited to a three-and-out.

With Hunt, Syracuse has simplified its game plan. The quarterback said everything has been smooth since he’s taken over, from the practice field to game day, while the Orange has still been able to up the tempo.

When the Orange retook possession, Hunt marched SU 75 yards in just seven plays and 2:10. He capped the drive with a perfect strike to Christopher Clark. A coverage breakdown left the wide receiver unguarded on a post route, but Hunt still fired the pass in with precision — something that wouldn’t have been guaranteed just weeks ago.

his stiffest challenge yet. Syracuse led by 18 at that point and would have to go 85 yards in just 1:44 to pad that lead.

Hunt started things off with a 10-yard pass to Ashton Broyld for his first catch of the day.

The quarterback got both Broyld and Beckett Wales involved for the first time on that drive and spread the ball to eight different receivers on the day.

Then a 4-yard run by Prince-Tyson Gulley turned into 19 after a late hit. Another late hit five plays later put Syracuse at the 21-yard line.

He got help from Tulane, but Hunt was in range to cap a marquee drive.

“Coach kept trying to slow us down in the last two minutes,” Hunt said, “but we kept say-

15

ing, ‘We want to score, we want to score.’”

He connected with Clark on the goal line and two plays later Smith plunged in to hand the Orange a 42-17 halftime lead. Hunt chased after Smith in the end zone to celebrate.

Just a week ago, the quarterback spot was a battle. Now it’s hard to imagine that it could have been any other way.

“He’s the same calm guy, he’s just not taking anything off the ball he’s throwing,” Broyld said. “He was throwing the ball, but he wasn’t really throwing it. Now he’s throwing it like you’re supposed to.” dbwilson@syr.edu @dbwilson2

ighty-two-year-old Dick MacPherson could barely hear anything I was saying when I called him on the phone last November. I was writing a story about the 1987 undefeated Syracuse football team coached

by MacPherson, who has since been voted into the Hall of Fame.

Once he finally heard my question, though, the 1987 team was the last thing he wanted to talk about. Instead, still revved up by Syracuse’s 45-26 upset win

Terrel Hunt is a gamer. As Syracuse heads into its bye week that much is clear.

He’s played the majority of the Orange’s past two games, including his first-career start, and done so brilliantly. Each game he’s completed at least 75 percent of his passes and tossed at least three touchdowns. He’s rejuvenated an offense that could best be described as sleepy through the first two games of the year.

Krautman to have season-ending surgery for hip-related injury

By David Wilson SPORTS EDITOR

Syracuse kicker Ross Krautman will undergo season-ending surgery for a “hip-related injury,” SU Athletics

announced in a press release on Sunday.

Krautman, a senior, played in just two games this year. He made 1-of-2 field goals this season and missed an extra point against then-No. 19 Northwestern.

He missed part of training camp with a groin injury that’s plagued him for the last three seasons. Krautman is eligible to apply for a medical hardship waiver.

Ryan Norton, who began the season as

Syracuse’s kickoff specialist, has taken over as the kicker in Krautman’s absence.

He’s made 3-of-4 field goals this season, but also missed an extra point against Wagner. dbwilson@syr.edu
