Adjuncts United, SU reach deal

By Joe Genco STAFF WRITER

Adjuncts United, the union for adjunct professors at Syracuse University, has come to a tentative agreement with the university for a contract covering the next three academic years.

The tentative agreement was reached Aug. 18 and runs through May 31, 2014. The prior three-year agreement expired May 31. Adjuncts United is a labor union affiliated with the New York State United Teachers Union.

The two sides held 21 meetings from April to Aug. 18 to negotiate the terms of a new contract, said Jeanette Jeneault, president of Adjuncts United. The tentative agreement will now go on to a vote, she said. Ballots are being mailed to SU’s adjunct faculty this week, and they will be returned and counted by Sept. 23, Jeneault said.

If the contract is ratified, it will go into effect retroactively for this academic year, she said. This means that pay increases and other changes will be included in the first few weeks of the semester before the contract is ratified.

Provisions of the new contract include new standards on seniority and tenure, a new set of procedures regarding work environment and raises, Jeneault said.

Under the new contract, adjunct professors will now be considered post-probationary or tenured after three years with the university, she said. There is also a new system for dealing with workplace grievances and harassment issues, Jeneault said.

Pay was another issue that had to be sorted out in the new contract.

“Unions across the country right now are facing an uphill battle financially,” Jeneault said. “So we are lucky that the university here has money and that we have common interests. Improving the teaching condition improves the university as a whole, so we want to get this contract passed.”

The number of adjunct faculty at SU changes every semester, but there is a core of about 180 people who have been teaching for five or more years, Jeneault said. jdgenco@syr.edu

By Meghin Delaney NEWS EDITOR

This year’s Juice Jam concert at Syracuse University has sold about 800 more tickets than last year’s.

The ticket capacity for last year’s University Union concert — featuring Lupe Fiasco, Super Mash Bros. and Passion Pit — was 5,000. The 2010 concert was the first to sell out in Juice Jam’s seven-year history.

Tickets sold out on the Wednesday night before last year’s concert.

This year’s Juice Jam brings coheadliners Swedish house-electronic artist Avicii and American rapper B.o.B. Chiddy Bang, an electro hiphop duo from Philadelphia, will open the show.

Ticket sales for Juice Jam will be sold throughout the rest of this week and into the weekend at the Schine Student Center box office and online, said Rob Dekker, UU president.

This year, in addition to making the concert a benefit event, the ticket capacity was raised to 8,500, Dekker said. The start time of the concert was also moved later to 4 p.m. UU plans to enhance the show by using extra

Lecture on sex in Shakespeare’s works to kick off series

By Alexandra Hitzler STAFF WRITER

For Valerie Traub, the way Shakespeare’s sonnets are interpreted is constantly changing.

“The way in which we interpret and understand Shakespeare’s literature changes over time as we are influenced by our changing culture,” said Traub, the Frederick G. L. Huetwell professor of English and women’s studies and chair of the

How much: Free women’s studies department at the University of Michigan.

Traub, author of the award-winning book “The Renaissance of Les-

bianism in Early Modern England,” will deliver her lecture, “Shakespeare’s Sex,” at Syracuse University on Thursday.

The lecture is part of this year’s Ray Smith Symposium, which will be based on the theme “Sex and Power from the Middle Ages to the Enlightenment.” Traub’s lecture will take place at 7 p.m. in the Killian Room in the Hall of Languages.

The lecture will focus on the way

scholars and teachers approach the theme of sexuality in Shakespeare’s works. Traub said society’s changing views on sex affect the way scholars interpret and read Shakespeare’s sonnets.

“The theme of sex has accompanied scholars in their studies of the sonnets since the 18th Century,” she said, “Now that scholars in today’s culture are more comfortable with

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

9/11 stirs memory of Pan-Am 103 bombing As the 10th anniversary of 9/11 approaches, it is worth remembering we ought to remember another devastating act of terrorism that intimately affected our campus.

On Dec. 21, 1988, Pan Am Flight 103 from London to New York City exploded over Lockerbie, Scotland, resulting in the death of all 243 passengers, sixteen crew members and eleven bystanders on the ground.

Thirty-five of the passengers killed were students returning home after spending a semester studying in Syracuse University Abroad’s London and Florence programs.

Investigators ultimately traced the plane’s destruction to a suitcase bomb stowed in the cargo hold.

The attack forcibly inaugurated the modern era of large-scale terrorist attacks, calling into question the safety of commercial transportation, the invulnerability of American citizens living abroad and the United States’ relationship with the rest of the world. As one of the fi rst major acts of airborne terrorism, Pan Am 103 completely altered the way many Americans viewed their place in the world, a realization the attacks of 9/11 brought back into our public discourse.

Yet some students question the relevance of Pan Am 103, an event that occurred before they were even born, to their own personal lives. It is an all-too-common mistake to overlook the strong underlying connections

between the SU campus and Pan-Am 103.

The attack is still relevant to SU not only because it claimed the lives of 35 members of our community, but also because those lives so closely resemble our own. The majority of those 35 victims were young men and women who had the same experiences and ambitions as many of today’s undergraduate students; nearly 50 percent of current SU students study abroad.

Pan Am 103 changed our parents’ generation in the same way that 9/11 changed ours; the education and remembrance of one event is incomplete without the other. As the 10th anniversary of 9/11 and 23rd anniversary of the Lockerbie bombing draw near, actively reach out to friends, classmates, professors

and other acquaintances who have been directly affected by terrorism.

This Sunday, the Remembrance Scholars will join the rest of our campus in honoring the memory of those who died in the Sept. 11 attacks during a service in Hendricks Chapel at 2 p.m.

From Nov. 5-12, the Remembrance Scholars will host several events devoted to educating the campus community about the legacy of Pan Am 103. Please join us in remembering those we lost 23 years ago during the RoseLaying Ceremony at 2:03 p.m. and the Remembrance Convocation at 3:30 p.m. on Nov. 11.

The 2011-12 Remembrance Scholars

SU should honor 9/11 through student-organized charity This Sunday marks the 10th anniversary of 9/11 and with it brings a wide range of emotions for all of us. When the annual fall concert Juice Jam was scheduled for its normal weekend, it happened to coincide with this 10th anniversary. University Union immediately began working with Hendricks Chapel, Student Association and the Division of Student Affairs to ensure that the entire day is given the reverence that it deserves.

What came out of these discussions is a premiere collaboration between all parties involved, one that embraces the traditions that have come out of that fateful day. Inspired

by President Barack Obama’s Interfaith and Community Service Challenge to colleges and universities, Juice Jam has been redesigned into a benefit concert and will be accepting food donations.

In 2002, in the aftermath of the events of 9/11, family members of victims began to gather to think about constructive ways they could honor the memory and legacy of their loved ones who were lost. They wanted to recapture the spirit of unity and compassion that had swept the nation and world following the attacks. They began small by volunteering in soup kitchens, writing letters to soldiers and cleaning up neighborhood lots. Over the years, their vision has grown with an estimated million U.S. citizens expected to take part in community service projects this Sunday.

In 2009, President Obama and Congress recognized the work these families had done and declared Sept. 11 as a National Day of Service and Remembrance. In doing so, they issued a challenge to all citizens to take part in service projects as a way to honor those lost and those who rose to

serve others in the midst of a great tragedy.

So here in Syracuse, the Better Together campaign, in partnership with University Union, is how we are organizing students to participate in this day of service. Better Together and UU have decided that the food collected will be donated to the Interreligious Food Consortium of Central New York, and revenues from the concert will be donated to the UN World Food Programme.

These charities were picked in the spirit of service that has come to surround Sept. 11.

For the past five years, hunger has been on the rise here in the city of Syracuse and local food pantries, such as the Interreligious Food Consortium, have seen an 82 percent increase in usage from 2006-09. Additionally, the Horn of Africa is in the midst of the worst famine in decades with U.N. estimates of more than

13 million people in five countries experiencing extreme hunger. The U.N. World Food Programme works to help alleviate hunger in these regions.

We hope that you will be able to join us on Sunday at all the events happening during the day. Bring some canned goods to Schine or Sadler Dining Hall on Thursday and Shaw Dining Hall on Friday. The Service of Remembrance and Hope will take place at 2 p.m. on Sunday at Hendricks Chapel, with buses to the Juice Jam Benefit Concert available directly after.

With figure behind 9/11 dead, deeper understanding of terrorism possible

A

fter the demise of Osama bin Laden, many publications ran headlines that claimed how terrorism was forever changed, that Bin Laden dragged our post-9/11 definition of the word down to the bottom of the sea with him.

Figuratively? Maybe. His demise does signify the end of an era. The images, rhetoric and media after 9/11 made bin Laden the personification of terrorism, giving the term an identifiable villain.

If anything, our understanding of terrorism was completely constructed around the single act that gained his notoriety as well as his image.

Terrorism remains exactly the same, rather his death left a void where his face and his being once served as a tool for understanding

L AUREN TOUSIGNANT

sorry, i’m not sorry it. Politicians, the public, the media especially, all relied on bin Laden. He’s been our sole tool to illustrate terrorism throughout the past decade. Making his face synonymous with the term was to provide the simplest explanation.

So claiming that his death will change terrorism forever is simply responding to the void

with a comforting thought to the likes of, “Ding Dong, the witch is dead.”

We cannot boil down the terrorism seen on 9/11 to a single person. It’s a complex network of hate that goes way beyond even al-Qaeda, an organization that clearly hasn’t quit because a leader died.

The United States continues to seek an end to terrorism, whether there’s a recognizable face or not. Rather than wait for someone to fill the visual and emotional void bin Laden left, becoming the next tool for sensationalized political rhetoric, let this moment be one of deeper understanding.

We can hope 9/11 will remain the most devastating act of terrorism the United States faced in our lifetime. But the death of bin Laden doesn’t

grant us the ability to count on it. More importantly, we cannot let the ambiguity fall into an afterthought. Terrorism is as it was, which isn’t to say we should all be afraid. Rather its perpetuation should give the American public a reason to seek an understanding greater than the confines of bin Laden and his destruction.

There may be one less terrorist now than before, but the form and bases of the terrorism that manifested in 9/11 remains the same. The only thing that should change is our dependence on superficial knowledge.

Ten years since the event shook our childhood and our idealistic or unformed notions of national security, how much smarter are we? How well do we know why and how 9/11 happened?

The best way to honor the 10th anniversary of 9/11 and its victims would be to understand what happened. If you haven’t yet, revisit those questions you wished you could have asked or wished your elders could have answered on Sept. 11, 2001.

the email.

Students receive an email notification when their balance drops below $5, and again at $1, according to the email.

Brad Gorham, chair of the communications department, is a member of the committee Dean Lorraine Branham assembled with other faculty members to craft the policy.

“We’re moving digitally as a school,” Gorham said. “There was a real concern about the environment.”

Gorham said the committee fi rst gathered data with the help of Peter Weinhold, assistant dean and director of technology for Newhouse.

“We had been kind of thinking about this for a while. Once Peter came on board, he really pushed us to study and look at it,” Gorham said.

He said they could see how many print jobs were going on in the labs and how much of that was one-sided versus doublesided. In addition to students printing large, non-academic projects, Gorham said some students were giving friends their Net IDs to use in the labs.

On average, a Newhouse student uses 300 sheets of paper and spends between $22 and $23 per semester. Gorham said they used this data to accommodate students.

“Given the data, where could we draw the line where it would make a difference but wouldn’t impact most students?” he said.

For an 8.5-by-11-inch sheet of paper, Newhouse charges 2 cents for black and white printing and 16 cents for color printing. For an 11-by-14-inch sheet, it costs 3 cents for black and white printing and 18 cents for color printing, according to the email.

the idea of sexuality, it’s interesting to see how that affects the way sonnets are read.”

Traub said she hopes her lecture gets students to think about Shakespeare more historically. Traub also wants students to recognize that different cultures and people change the way they think about sex over time, she said.

“I want students to think historically about sexual roles and practices during the time of Shakespeare,” she said.

Qiao Zeng, a junior accounting major, said she might attend the lecture and thinks the topic will appeal to students interested in literary studies.

“I think the topic is pretty unique and

Weinhold said the school’s new printing rates are actually cheaper than the rest of campus.

“We contacted the campus administrator, and he said that our rates are comparable to other schools,” Weinhold said. “It’s really a difference.”

For an 8.5-by-11-inch sheet, the rest of campus charges 4 cents for black and white printing and 50 cents for color printing, Weinhold said. He said other campus labs don’t offer an 11-by-14-inch size.

Weinhold said that after only a week, the volume of paper has already been dramatically reduced, but they would like to wait until the end of spring semester to get a good sample of data.

Gorham said he figured 30 to 45 percent of money will be saved with the new policy Eden Ben-Haim, a sophomore advertising and fi nance major in Newhouse and the Martin J. Whitman School of Management, said he thinks the $25 printing fee is still enough to generate a wasteful amount of paper.

“Newhouse is a communications school.

Its students study journalism, graphic design, magazine and photography,” he said. “I’m no expert, but those subjects usually require a lot of printing, free or not, which makes me dubious that printing will decrease a significant amount.”

Ben-Haim said he thinks if Newhouse wants to take measures against wasteful printing, they should enforce it through the curriculum. He said he thinks teachers should accept more assignments online and embrace digital work.

He said: “If Newhouse wants to make a difference, they should put in the effort to encourage green ways through the classrooms instead of taking away privileges from students.” mjberner@syr.edu

interesting,” Zeng said. “It’s really important to be educated about the historical setting of authors when you’re reading books and novels from the past, and this could help students to do that.”

Traub’s lecture is the first of eight in the Ray Smith Symposium for the 2011-12 academic year, according to an Aug. 9 SU News release. The symposium is presented by the College of Arts and Sciences and is organized and presented by the Medieval and Renaissance Studies Working Group at SU, according to the release.

The speakers will specifically look at how power shapes, distorts, produces and represses sexual identities, according to the release.

The symposium is named after an SU alumnus of 1921 who went on to be a highly respected teacher and administrator. adhitzle@syr.edu

production elements and incorporating stronger lighting this year.

“We increased the capacity this year with the intention of not selling out,” he said. “Juice Jam is not about just selling tickets, it’s about student involvement.”

To allow for the expanded ticket sales, the layout of the area used at Skytop Field on South Campus was reconfigured. Additional staff and security have also been scheduled for the event, he said.

When UU officials realized the concert would fall on the 10th anniversary of 9/11 and didn’t have any other options for the date of the concert, they decided to turn the event into a benefit concert to commemorate the losses.

UU has been conducting a food drive this week as well, allowing students to donate

canned goods in exchange for a Juice Jam T-shirt. Dekker said they have already collected around 1,000 goods and are hoping to collect a lot more during the actual event.

“We’ve seen a decent amount of student involvement already,” he said.

SU has partnered with Better Together, a nationwide initiative that encourages students to strengthen interfaith and multicultural bonds in the United States to improve their communities. A portion of the ticket sales from the event will go toward famine relief in the Horn of Africa through the United Nations’ World Food Programme.

Tickets are available for $10 to all faculty, staff and students at SU and the State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry at the Schine Student Center box office for the rest of the week or on its website.

Illinois college makes waves after asking for sexual orientation on admission applications

By Marwa Eltagouri

T

STAFF WRITER

wo weeks ago, Elmhurst College, a private liberal arts school outside Chicago, made headlines when it chose to add an extra question to its undergraduate application for the 2012-13 academic year: “Would you consider yourself to be a member of the LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgendered) community?”

The inclusion of the question is considered to be a historical feat and a progression for the LGBT movement, as Elmhurst College is the first college in the nation to inquire about a student’s sexual orientation on an application for admission. The question is optional, with a “prefer not to say” choice, and is grouped with questions regarding religious affiliation and languages spoken besides English.

Sexual orientation was asked to help students feel more comfortable and to identify their interests and needs.

Upon answering, students would have the option to be put in touch with a student-run organization known as Straights and Gays for Equality, just as a student identifying themself as black could be put in touch with the Black Student Union.

“It’s highly confidential and completely optional. Some students might answer and others might not,” said Gary Rold, Elmhurst’s dean of admissions. “And if they do, we just want to be able to support them and make them feel comfortable so that they can focus on their education.”

The responses to the question have been mixed. College students, as well as members of the LGBT community, have been supportive, but older generations seemed to react negatively, Rold said. The negative responses have mainly been submitted anonymously.

“The same thing happened when the idea of asking about race and ethnicity was suggested — we’re just crossing a different bridge,” Rold said.

“And we don’t mean to advance civilization; we just want to support our students.”

The process to include the question on the admissions application began a little more than

a year ago, when SAGE began to push for more support from the college’s administration. The college then organized an event for LGBT high school students at area schools by sending out invitations to their school counselors.

About 40 or 50 students showed up to the event, which was extremely successful, Rold said. The administration began to brainstorm ideas on how to make LGBT students feel even more comfortable and less overwhelmed at school, so they decided to start asking students to identify their orientation upon entering.

“In addition to signaling to prospective students who identify as LGBT that this is a welcoming campus, I believe it also signals to all applicants that this is an institution that values difference and understands that a more diverse educational environment is a richer one for all,” said Eileen Sullivan, dean of students at Elmhurst.

Sullivan, said that students’ characters are positively affected by exposure to difference.

She gave the example of a white 18-year-old boy from an environment without diversity being assigned a black student as a roommate. The white student’s perspective changes as he learns of a different culture, she said.

“I love to see how the college experience can change learned behavior and, in some cases, learned bigotry, and (it) really has a chance of breaking a learned cycle of hate and discrimination,” Sullivan said.

The Common Application, which provides college applications used by 400 universities across the nation, declined the proposal that similar identity questions be asked in their national application, according to Campus Pride, a national organization advocating for more LGBTfriendly college settings.

“If students want to identify themselves with the LGBT community, they should have the option to do so,” said Shane Windmeyer, Campus Pride’s executive director. “And they should be able to do it through a university form, just as they can with race, ethnicity and religion.” meltagou@syr.edu

Do you think a terrorist attack like this could happen again?

Alex Ritscher

Sophomore geology major

“I hope not. But anything is possible.”

Melissa Sack

Junior fashion design major

“Definitely. I obviously don’t want it to happen, but it may happen, and we should take the necessary precautions to make sure it doesn’t. But that doesn’t mean blocking down all our airports and transportation.”

David Taft

Sophomore marketing management major

“Not at the same magnitude, I don’t. I think the security is great these days, and they’re taking steps to prevent that from happening.”

Ashley Marsh

Sophomore inclusive elementary and special education major

“It’s always possible, even though I don’t want it to.”

Anne Wong

Undecl ared freshman in the College of Arts and Sciences

“Yes, I do. I’m an international student from Hong Kong, and I travel along the world. This is the type of terrorism that has happened over and over again. It’s kind of scary to really imagine that every single plane ride it may happen.”

Ciara Schoenauer Sophomore television, radio and film major

“Yeah, absolutely. Obviously, there’s so much more security, but you look around the world at places like Norway — there were bombs in Delhi today. I would never say anything is impossible.”

How did you first hear about the attacks?

“I’m from New York, and they moved the whole school into the basement. My mom came to pick me up.”

“I was in my fifth-grade English class and my teacher made an announcement.”

“I was in my fourth-grade classroom and my teacher told us that she got word from the principal that we wouldn’t be allowed to have lunch or recess that day.”

“I was in my fourth-grade classroom. All my friends were getting pulled out of school, and we didn’t know why. Our teacher explained to us what had happened and when I got home, my mom explained further that we were attacked.”

“I was in my primary school when my teacher ran in and told us the news.”

What are your plans for the 10-year anniversary of Sept. 11?

“I kind of want to see the memorial thing on TV.”

“I was going to go to the remembrance service at Hendricks before Juice Jam.”

“I will be at Juice Jam because it’s a benefit concert.”

“I was gonna go to the thing at Hendricks Chapel, and I bought tickets to Juice Jam, too.”

“I will probably pray.”

“I was in my fourth-grade computer class. I live in Princeton, N.J., which is a huge commuter town. My best friend and I were in the same class, and we got called down to the office over the loudspeaker because our moms were taking us home. We watched the news replay in my basement.”

“I’m going to call my parents. Probably just be thankful all day, honestly.”

SU professor’s ceramic murals make reappearance with opening of refurbished Cortlandt subway station

I

By Kathleen Kim Feature Editor

n the underpass of New York City’s Corlandt Street station, local politicians and members of The Metropolitan Transportation Authority gathered in front of a luminous ceramic mural on Sept. 8 for a ribbon-cutting ceremony. It marked the reopening of the station’s southbound platform.

Margie Hughto said she stood staring at her mural, a giant golden medallion studded with protruding stars and flanked by glossy, blue-green and copper tiles.

It’s one of 12 ceramic relief murals in “Trade, Treasure and Travel.” The professor of ceramics at the College of Visual and Performing Arts at Syracuse University had created it in 1997 for the station, just feet away from where World Trade Center 2 once stood.

“I feel like a lucky artist that I have this special space.

My artwork was put in and allowed to go back,” Hughto said of the murals that miraculously survived the attacks of 9/11.

Juice Jam features diverse events

By Sarah Schmalbruch CONTRIBUTING WRITER

This year’s Juice Jam will be more unique than those in past years. Falling on the 10th anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, the event will host big-name headliners as well Where: Skytop Field, as commemoraSouth Campus tive services.

When: Sept. 11, 3:30 p.m.

Syracuse How much: $10 University’s 8th annual Juice Jam concert will take place on Sunday, Sept.11 at 3:30 p.m. on Skytop Field. The student involvement fair will be set up, showcasing more than 100 on-campus organizations. This year’s concert will feature Swedish house-electronic DJ Avicii and rapper B.o.B. as headliners. Rap duo Chiddy Bang will be the opening act.

Tickets for faculty, staff and students at SU and the State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry are available for $10 at the Schine Student Center box office or online for the rest of the week. Students who attend nearby universities can purchase tickets for $20 with valid IDs. Briana Cacuci, University Union’s vice president, is excited about the music that will be performed at Juice Jam. Avicii, relatively new to the house-electronic music scene, completed his first world tour last year. He sometimes performs under the pseudonym Tim Berg, the name under which he produced one of his most wellknown singles, “Bromance.”

B.o.B., also known as Bobby Ray Simmons Jr., gained popularity with his first hit single “Nothin’ on You” featuring Bruno Mars.

He has since released two other singles, his

biggest hits “Airplanes” and “Magic.”

Chiddy Bang is a hip-hop duo made of two former Drexel University students, Chidera “Chiddy” Anamege and Noah “Xaphoon Jones” Beresin. The duo’s music career began in 2009 when they released “The Swelly Express,” a mixtape featuring their hit single “Opposite of Adults.”

Cacuci said she is also happy about the commemorative aspect of the concert. In

Labels: Grand Hustle, Atlantic

Labels: EMI, Parlophone

Avicii has yet to release a full-length album, but has a slew of dance floor packing singles in his arsenal when he takes the stage for his headlining set. “Seek Bromance” is a surefire crowd-pleaser with a thumping techno beat and a simple toe-tapping melody. The funky “My Feelings For You” and, on the softer end of the spectrum, “Fade into Darkness,” are two more of Avicii’s original tunes that should have no problem finding a spot in the rotation.

B.o.B is riding into Juice Jam on the coattails of his strongest mixtape effort yet, “No Genre.” Expect the heavy-hitting “Beast Mode” to be a candidate for the set opener because, let’s face it, watching B.o.B walk onto the stage during the ambient synthesizer intro would be pretty darn cool. The piano-driven “Feet Don’t Fail Me Now” or “Not Lost” could make for a mid-set tempo changer. Both songs let the rapper show off his vocal chops and take a break from his usual fire-spitting delivery, even without T.I., who appears on both of the song’s studio cuts.

The odds are stacked in favor of Chiddy Bang to perform fan favorites “Opposite of Adults” and “The Good Life,” but don’t rule out the indie-influenced rappers playing a few tracks from their early summer mixtape, “Peanut Butter and Swelly.”

Even without Train’s frontman there to lay down the smooth falsetto on the chorus, Chiddy Bang will probably use Pat Monahan’s voice in backing track form for “Baby Roulette.”

Decatur, Georgia

To keep the energy level up for students who aren’t as familiar with the Swedish DJ’s work, expect Avicii to sneak in a handful of Top 40 remixes to pump up the crowd. His remix of Enrique Iglesias’ “I Like It” and re-edit of Daft Punk’s “Derezzed” both have enough mainstream appeal to balance out the more obscure singles Avicii will try to promote.

honor of the 9/11 anniversary, UU has partnered with Hendricks Chapel to jump-start SU’s chapter of Better Together, a youth-led initiative that aims to improve communities through active participation from students.

Cacuci said she thinks UU will help spread the word about the initiative.

The partnership will give students the chance to become involved with the initiative either by donating a canned good or helping make care packages and bagged lunches at the concert, Cacuci said.

In addition to partnering with Hendricks, UU has also planned two commemorative events that will happen during the concert to honor the victims of 9/11 and their families.

These events will include the singing of the national anthem and a moment of silence.

Although Cacuci acknowledges the large amount of debate among students due to the concert’s date, she said she still feels strongly about the events and the effect they will have.

“I think it’s even more important this year that a whole population of students can be together and show respect,” Cacuci said.

“Our generation has grown up with this, and it’s something that resonates with all of us.”

Some students do not share the same sentiments. While Erica Schmitt, a senior public relations major, recognizes and appreciates UU’s attention to the 9/11 anniversary, she still does not feel the concert should take place on the same day.

“The two ideas seem to clash. The celebration of the beginning of a new school year shouldn’t fall on a time for us to ref lect on everything we lost (on Sept.11),” Schmitt said.

Cacuci said UU’s decision to have the concert on 9/11 was a direct result of the schedules of the artists who are set to perform. saschmal@ syr.edu

Although B.o.B’s setlist will most likely heavily rely on his radio-friendly debut album “B.o.B Presents: The Adventures of Bobby Ray,” don’t be surprised to see a few unlikely tracks from “No Genre” pad his set. Throwback hip-hop banger and dance-party-waiting-to-happen “Grand Hustle Kings” and Foreigner-sampling “Cold as Ice” are two dark horses that could sneak their way into the set.

The duo has carved a niche in the hip-hop genre for having a keen ear for Pitchfork approved samples. They’ll be sure to keep up their reputation by sampling indie rock darlings Grizzly Bear on the free-flowing “Always (On My Grizzly)” and invoking sunny indie-pop duo Matt and Kim on the mid-tempo “Cameras.” But expect a lot of blisteringly paced raps to get the energy level high for the headlining acts.

‘Wow,’” Hughto recalls, who often observed her artwork’s effect on passers-by. “It was very striking. It certainly transformed that passageway.”

Hughto molded the 12 panels entirely with clay, her favorite medium — one she mastered at the Cranbrook Academy of Art in Michigan as a graduate student and one she’s been teaching to SU students since 1973. It’s a stubborn medium, resistant to heat and durable enough to withstand the wear and tear of time.

But that didn’t stop Hughto from taking careful measures to protect the murals. They were glued to the walls with an epoxy-based adhesive, coated with protective glaze.

“That’s the thing about public art — the unpredictability is something that comes with the territory,” she said. “You don’t always know what’s going to happen.”

••• Hughto remembers standing in her upperlevel clay studio in Jamesville, N.Y., her TV blaring behind her. She turned around. The second World Trade Center tower crumbled before her eyes, crashing down in a cloud of ashy smoke.

“I thought, ‘Oh, my god.’ I thought about all the people that were probably killed,” she recalls. “There had to be thousands of people around that area and in those buildings.”

Only when she saw the debris from the crash build up, did she remember her murals.

“I was thinking, ‘That underground is probably destroyed. What happens when all that rubble piles up on top of the ground? Everything underneath must be crushed. ‘” ••• In March 1996, Hughto received a call from

pul p @ da ilyor a nge.com

Mona Chen, managing director at MTA Arts for Transit, a public art initiative that commissions contemporary artworks for NYC’s subway system and commuter rail buslines. Chen congratulated her on “making it to the Final Four.”

It was spring semester at Syracuse University and basketball season was in full swing. A confused Hughto replied, “Final Four of what?”

Chen told Hughto she’s one of four ceramic artists competing to create artwork for a 60-foot underground passageway in the Financial District of NYC. She invited Hughto to check out the space.

At that point in her career, Hughto was no stranger to making art for public places. In 1985,

“I feel like a lucky artist that I have this special space. My artwork was put in and allowed to go back.”

Margie Hughto

professor of ceramics at the college of visual and performing arts

she crafted a large-scale mural called “Season” for the ground level Utica Street Subway Station in Buffalo, N.Y. Hughto took up the offer and left for NYC. She remembers descending three stories underground into the Cortlandt Street Station’s dimly lit, stark white passageway.

“It looked like a medical operating room,” she said. “But because it was so far down, it also felt a little like going into an Egyptian tomb.”

Given a month to brainstorm design plans, Hughto hit the books. She studied Egyptian hieroglyphics, sketched coins, compasses and

other motifs to reflect the area of business and commerce. She wanted to transform the subway chamber into a treasure vault.

A month passed and she returned to New York to pitch her ideas to a panel of 12 judges.

Three days later, Hughto found out she was the winner. The yearlong project took off.

••• Roll a small slab of wet clay into a ball. With a firm press of a palm, push it down onto a plaster mold. Wait for it to harden. Gently peel off and place in an 1,800 degree heated kiln — Hughto’s hands performed these steps without hesitation and repeated them countless times for the 1,500 tiles in the 12-mural installation.

Six SU students, tile setters and architects helped Hughto install the tiles, staying in the New York City station for long hours as commuters brushed past.

“We worked from 11 at night until 4 in the morning,” she said.

At 1:30 a.m. (“Lunchtime,” Hughto said with a smirk), the team of hungry workers would trudge up the stairs to pick up sandwiches at the corner deli. Hughto remembers staring up at the steely twin towers, their silhouettes set against the post-midnight sky.

The last tile is placed and in the summer of 1997, the mural is completed.

••• Two weeks after the World Trade Center crash, Hughto heard from Sandra Bloodworth, director of MTA Arts for Transit.

Bloodworth had followed station crew down into the passageway a week after the crash. The space was littered with rubble: cracked travertine marble, dust, crumpled metal and stainless steel.

When the group shined flashlights on the walls, the mural was unscathed, Bloodworth said.

“It was a powerful experience to go into

that space, to see the artwork still intact,” she remembers. “Through all this, there was a positive note.”

••• In 2005, the Cortlandt Street Station shut down for renovation. The murals were taken off the walls, placed in crates and stowed away until last March. Bloodworth called Hughto to tell her the passageway was ready for reinstallation, but 68 tiles were broken. A few weeks later, the number was 179. Then 420. It took Hughto an entire summer to recreate more than 700 tiles for the murals.

“That’s the funny part about it. After the towers fell, the murals were almost entirely preserved,” said Steve Rommevaux, an SU senior television, radio and film major who helped remake the murals.

“They didn’t break until the construction people tried to remove them from the wall,” he said. “It was almost like they were meant to be there permanently.”

••• Before the reopening ceremony, Hughto took 10 to 12 trips to NYC. “It’s incredible how busy that area is, how many people are there all the time, how vital it is,” she said. “Even the delis are all back like they were. Except for the two buildings not being there, it’s almost like that day never happened.”

Not all of the murals are up yet. Work is still being done to extend the station to Fulton Transit Center, which allows New Yorkers to walk from river to river underground. Hughto’s murals will line the walls in between.

“In relation to the bigger picture of what happened that day, this mural was a very small thing, but now it’s a very big symbol,” Bloodworth said. “It represents the bridge between the past and future.” kkim40@syr.edu

Q&A with Chiddy Bang producer Xaphoon Jones

By Erik van Rheenen ASST. COPY EDITOR

Electro hip-hop duo Chiddy Bang is opening for B.o.B and Avicii at this year’s Juice Jam concert. The Daily Orange talked to producer Xaphoon Jones about the upcoming show and what to expect from the group for the rest of the year.

graphic illustration by daniel berkowitz | design editor

The Daily Orange: What are you looking forward to the most about Sunday’s concert?

Jones: It’s a really diverse lineup, and playing college shows is fun. In one of the last shows we played in California fans were stampeding and going crazy, so you never really know what to expect until you’re actually on stage. I don’t think we’ll play anything brand new, but it all depends on how long our set is. We’ll see.

Is this your first concert in Syracuse?

Yes, and it’s cool to be playing there. I have cousins here, and they’re some of my favorite people in the world, so I’ll make sure to call them up and let them know we’re in town. I actually visited and applied to Syracuse’s music program, but I wanted to work on beats and production right away instead of learning about classical music. It’s weird thinking that if I weren’t making music, I think I would be a junior at school.

weirder, darker kind of way. We didn’t use as many samples because the ones we’ve done were to get our foot in the door, and we wanted to branch out. There’s no filler on it, and it should be out later this year. Our first online single, “Mind Your Manners,” charted on the Billboard Top 200 and has sold a crazy amount, so the fans like it. We want to bring it back after we put out our first radio single.

How have you balanced writing and recording an album, breaking the world record for longest freestyle rap and releasing the “Peanut Butter and Swelly” mixtape all this year?

When we found out that the album release date was being pushed back by the label, it was a fight to stay relevant. It’s a battle. Breaking the record got us a lot of exposure because it was broadcast live online, but it was a long, tiring day. I had to change up the beat every minute or so for nine hours. I was hoping I could break the record for longest DJ set at the same time, but I looked it up, and it was like a hundred hours, which was too bad. I didn’t like “Peanut Butter and Swelly” as much as our other releases, but it gives the fans something new to hear and keeps them interested.

In the future, I think I’d like to do less time touring and do more producing in the studio.

If you could recommend one song from your catalog to a listener, which would you pick?

Honestly, I might like remixes I’ve done for other people more than stuff we do ourselves because it’s working with a song that already has a structure instead of starting from nothing. So I’d recommend my remix of one of Ellie Goulding’s songs.

What have you been listening to on your way to Syracuse for Juice Jam? I’m working on putting together a new record label called Breakfast Music, so a lot of artists who are going to be on the label. We’re both definitely looking forward to our set on Sunday though. ervanrhe@syr.edu

Do you have any concerns about Juice Jam being on the 10th anniversary of 9/11?

That’s a good question, and it’s tough. I mean, it’s our manager’s birthday, too, so we’re going to celebrate regardless of the date. There’s going to be controversy because of the date, but if the school didn’t want any discussion about it, they could’ve booked for a different date.

How would you describe your sound to a new listener?

Chiddy Bang is just a witty kid from Newark, N.J., who raps like Jay-Z, but with more pop culture references and me putting down the beats. We’re definitely hip-hop, but with influences from everything from indie to Afrobeat.

What can fans expect from your upcoming album, “Breakfast”?

The album’s more futuristic, in a deeper,

First Scare-a-Cuse to attract Best Coast local fantasy, sci-fi followers visits the East Coast

By Samantha Marji Contributing Writer

On Friday, the Oncenter will swarm with people dressed as zombies, members of “Star Trek” and “Ghostbusters.”

The first ever Scare-a-Cuse festival will take place from Friday to Sunday. J.V. Johnson, the event promoter, said this is Where: Oncenter War the first event Memorial Arena of its kind in When: Friday Sept. 9-11 Syracuse.

It How much: $20-$100 is specifically depending on ticket designed as an opportunity for fans of horror, science fiction, paranormal and anime entertainment to gather and meet some celebrities within the genres, Johnson said.

“Syracuse seemed like a perfect place to hold such a convention — there is a rich history involving those categories,” Johnson said. “There is a large local fan base, and there is a large student population who tend to be very interested in such entertainment.”

Johnson said events include a miniature film festival and the chance to meet and get autographs and pictures with celebrities such as “Twilight” star Chaske Spencer and Walter Koenig of “Star Trek.”

Chaske Spencer, known for his role as Sam Uley in the last two “Twilight” movies, will attend his first convention as a celebrity guest, Johnson said.

“This may be the one and only chance to

rub shoulders with some pretty cool people from movies and television,” he said.

For collectors and hobbyists, there will be dozens of vendors offering items for sale.

Attendees will also be able to go to panel discussions throughout the day from some of the industry’s experts, including Douglas Brode, Newhouse professor of film and cinema studies, who will be giving a presentation about “The Twilight Zone.”

Some special events will include a zombie bash where attendees can dress up as zombies; a Science Fiction and Fantasy Film Festival, which will include independent and classic movies; VIP parties to mingle with many of the celebrities; and anime cosplay.

There are celebrity VIP parties scheduled for both Friday and Saturday nights for VIP ticket holders as well as various themed socializing events each night. Saturday night will feature a zombie party, Night of the Drinking Dead, presented by the Syracuse chapter of the Zombie Research Society.

Johnson and his crew have been working on this event for nearly a year. With all the thought and work put into this convention, Johnson said he thinks the event will be a success.

“Without question it will be the most memorable event in the Northeast of the year,” he said. “Fans of these genres are some of the most intelligent, uninhibited and fun-loving people in the country, and they never cease to be able to make any event an absolute blast.” ssmarji@syr.edu

Having just finished a two-week tour of performances in Europe, Best Coast’s guitarist and singer, Bethany Cosentino, is anticipating performing in Syracuse.

“Every show is different. Europe is different than LA and LA is different than New York City. It Where: Westcott Theater just depends on the audience,” When: Doors at 7 p.m.

Cosentino said How much: $12 in an email interview. “Hopefully, there are some ragers so we can party.”

Half of indie-rock duo Best Coast, Cosentino will perform with drummer Ali Koehler and multi-instrumentalist Bobb Bruno at the Westcott Theater on Thursday night at 8 p.m. The Sarah Aument Band, composed of Syracuse University and State University of New York School of Environmental Science and Forestry students, will open the show with local group Animal Pants from the Syracuse and Rochester areas.

Tickets are still being sold and are available online on the Westcott’s website and at the theater’s box office.

Best Coast has been steadily gaining recognition and popularity since the release of “Sun Was High (So Was I)” in 2009. Since then, the group has made music under four different record labels in both the United States and in Europe. Their music video for “Our Deal,” directed by Drew Barrymore, premiered on MTV in August, and their song “Crazy for You” charted on the Billboard 200.

SU’s Music and Entertainment Industry Student Association is responsible for bringing Best Coast to the Westcott. MEISA has brought in a number of acts in the past, including Ra Ra Riot, also to the Westcott, and Nigel Hall of Soul Live to Funk ‘n’ Waffles.

Nick Anaya, vice president of MEISA and a senior marketing management major, said the idea to book Best Coast came from a desire to have an on-the-rise band perform at a venue off campus grounds. The plan’s goal is to help connect SU with the community of Syracuse.

“Music is one of the few things that can really bring a lot of people together from different places,” Anaya said. “We try to make that a possibility through the shows and events we put on.”

who is best coast?

1. Combine curry powder, olive oil, salt, lemon juice and garlic. Slather the mixture onto the chicken breast — let chicken marinade overnight 2. Chop tomato and shred lettuce 3. Spread hummus and tahini sauce onto pita bread 4. Grill chicken (approximately 6-7 minutes per side) 5. Cut chicken into strips and tuck into pita bread 6. Roll up and enjoy! jidonfro@syr.edu

Best Coast is the brainchild of Los Angeles native Bethany Consentino, the primary songwriter and frontwoman of the group. The band is known for their unique brand of low-fidelity surf rock.

Formed in 2009, the group garnered buzz by releasing a series of 7-inch LPs, including “Something in the Way,” “Make You Mine” and “When I’m With You.” Best Coast released their first full-length record in 2010 with “Crazy for You,” staying true to their garage band sound.

LIVE MUSIC

crush

It’s rare to see a student walking around without a pair of tiny buds nestled in his or her ears. Whether we are walking to class, doing work or getting ready to go out, our generation has been spoiled by the easy and constant access to music.

Going to a live concert is the equivalent of your favorite artists ripping those ear buds out of your ears and dragging you to an awesome party where they just happen to be performing. With Avicii, B.o.B and Chiddy Bang at this weekend’s Juice Jam, South Campus is sure to be one hell of a good time.

Sure you’ve gotten into the routine of letting Kanye West pump you up on the way to your 8 a.m. class as you listen to “All of the Lights” build in your ears. But imagine how much power that song could have as it blasts out of stadium-sized amplifiers, colored lights flashing with West passionately shouting into his microphone, close enough to see the logo on his Louis Vuitton sneakers.

Even if you’re in the nosebleeds, the energy emitted from a live show can often be felt from the parking lot. The last row is as good a place as any to rock out, which is often inevitable with booming music.

Then again, not every live performance is going to have you jumping up and down or head banging until you can’t walk straight. I would be lying if I said that I haven’t been watching Adele’s performance of “Someone Like You” from the MTV Video Music Awards on repeat. A powerhouse voice, intelligent or moving lyrics, a catchy beat — there are so many ways a seemingly soft tune can hit you so hard.

Though there’s nothing more rewarding than seeing your favorite artists live, live shows are one of the best places to learn more about what other kind of music is out there, just waiting to be added to your iTune’s top played list. Free from the tweaking and editing of the all-too-generous studio, a concert is the place to find true talent.

What really makes live music (usually) worth the money is being able to simply say you did it. We’ll be able to look back on a good time and good memories all backed by some great music.

Effects of attacks shape generation

By Stephanie Bouvia ASST. COPY EDITOR

Leo Wong didn’t know what the World Trade Center was until Sept. 11, 2001.

The sophomore advertising major at Syracuse University was eight years old and living in San Gabriel, Calif., at the time of the attacks.

“I didn't truly understand what was going on,” he said. “I knew it was some famous building that was collapsing, but I did not know why until later on that week. I know it sounds bad but I just thought to myself, ‘Oh, it’s just another natural disaster.’ But I was completely wrong.”

Wong remembers when he first saw the images of the World Trade Center collapsing.

“I walked into my elementary school teacher's classroom, and she was blankly staring at the TV in shock, so I glanced up and saw what happened,” he said. “I was in shock, too, but only because there was a bunch of fire and rubbish all around.”

Wong said he believes the effects of 9/11 can still be felt by his generation. He said he believes Americans are now more aware of

“I think students and everyone were jolted into the realization that terrorism is not something that happens ‘out there,’ it could happen to anyone, anywhere. And that was a frightening thought for us all.”

DIRECTOR OF THE OFFICE OF UNDERGRADUATE STUDIES

their surroundings and more cautious about potential threats of terrorism.

Unlike Wong, Derek Horn, an undeclared freshman in the College of Visual and Performing Arts, was living in Syracuse at the time. He said he knew something was wrong before he left his elementary school that day.

Horn said the teachers had given him and the other students a piece of paper that was folded and stapled shut. “We had no idea what it was,” he said.

Horn was in for more confusion when he got home. He was surprised to see both of his parents at home because his dad normally worked until 5 p.m. “My aunt was also over with my then-3-year-old cousin; she was in the living room, standing in front of the TV watching the news with tissues in her hands,” Horn said. “I asked why my aunt was over and they told me that she didn’t want to be home alone; my uncle’s state police helicopter crew was sent down to the city area.”

Mehrzad Boroujerdi, director of the Middle Eastern studies program, said the shock of losing all sense of personal security is something he believes will stay with people forever.

“People came to the recognition that some people sitting in a cave in Afghanistan can

come up with a plan to bring down major icons of American power. That sense of security was no longer there; I think that is something that will stay with this generation,” he said.

Adam Elrashidi, a second-year media studies graduate student, was 16 years old when 9/11 happened.

As a Muslim, Elrashidi said he personally never felt explicitly discriminated against. He said there were times when he felt people looked at him differently, such as gas station attendants or teachers. But no one ever blatantly discriminated against him, he said.

“I think that any discrimination I felt or saw, I think that came outside — the ‘experts’ on the news telling me what I believe and what kind of people I come from. It was more of a cultural discrimination,” he said.

Elrashidi said he believes the 9/11 attacks made people his age feel like a “lost generation.” He said that being 16 at the time of the attacks and having to deal with pundits and misinformation was a “hard period of time to have your adolescence formed.”

“It kind of made me more cynical, and it probably hardened my perspective of the nature of human beings and the nature of the media,” he said. “It hardened my perspective on just how people are. It made me distrustful of people and what their motivations are a lot sooner than it should’ve.”

Judy O’Rourke, director of the Office of Undergraduate Studies, was at SU at the time of the attacks. She said many people thought it was a terrible accident at first. She said people began to realize it was a terrorist attack once the second plane hit.

O’Rourke said that she believes the attacks opened everyone’s eyes and made people realize that terrorism can happen anywhere.

“I think students and everyone were jolted into the realization that terrorism is not something that happens ‘out there,’ it could happen to anyone, anywhere. And that was a frightening thought for us all,” she said.

Horn, the freshman from Syracuse, also said he thinks his generation will always be cautious and conscious of future terrorist threats.

“I think that there will always be a fear for terrorism that is scarred in the back of everyone's mind,” he said. “No matter how much things change in the world, I feel like it will always be there.”

Boroujerdi said that although 9/11 was an awful tragedy, there are some positive things that came from it, such as more in-depth cultural awareness.

There is now a greater interest in the Middle East among SU students, he said. In 2003, many of the Middle Eastern classes were created in response to 9/11, Boroujerdi said. Now, he said, it is hard for the department to keep up with student interest.

He said: “More students are traveling there and are interested in seeing things for themselves.” snbouvia@syr.edu

daily orange file photo Hundreds of SU students, faculty and Syracuse residents enter Hendricks Chapel on Sept. 11 for a multidenominational prayer service and to hear then-Chancellor Kenneth Shaw address the issue. “We must come together to nurture each other. This is a time of concern and fear. We need a friendly hand and a word of reassurance,” Shaw told the more than 2,000 in attendance.

until much later — that terrorists were attacking the country.

“It was terrifying,” she said. “Nobody knew the word ‘terrorism.’” *** Kelly Brown wasn’t scared — not yet. The junior public relations major didn’t have enough information to be scared. She couldn’t process what was happening.

About three-quarters of the class showed up that morning, but her professor dismissed the students early. He told them to watch the news instead.

“No one really knew what to do,” said Brown, now the director of the Career Development Center at the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications. “It was insane. It was like nothing else.”

She wasn’t too worried about her family.

They were in upstate New York, not too far from Syracuse, where she knew they were safe.

But she watched as her peers panicked. She watched as they ignored the jammed phone lines, as they kept calling and texting, hoping to hear back from their families.

But Brown was more focused on learning as much information as possible. She watched the news the entire day, keeping an eye out for developing stories, speculations and replays of the attacks.

As the details were confirmed — the thenunfamiliar name of Osama bin Laden was mentioned every so often — Brown became scared.

“If you got enough information, you got scared,” she said. *** Kenneth “Buzz” Shaw remembers the fear.

But more importantly, the then-chancellor remembers the uncertainty on campus. Was this the first of many attacks? Where might the next attack be? How could SU become a safer campus?

“I was — I think as most people were — immediately in denial,” he said.

But SU officials had dealt with tragedy before. A few staff members who had experience dealing with the aftermath of the Pan Am Flight 103 crash in 1988 were still employed at the university at the time of the 9/11 attacks, Shaw said.

“No crisis is the same as the previous one, but you begin to develop the people that think about the right things,” he said.

Classes weren’t officially canceled, Shaw said, because students needed a place to ask questions and discuss the situation. Phone banks were arranged for people who hadn’t yet gotten in touch with their families and relatives. Counseling and grief services were organized immediately.

Looking back, Shaw said he didn’t know how helpful the students found the phone banks and services to be, but he wanted to provide an avenue for them to communicate and learn from the difficult situation.

“We wanted to be set up for people to get information quickly,” he said. *** Only a few people didn’t know what was

going on, and Jerry Evensky was one of them.

The economics professor had a Tuesday morning routine that semester. It started at 8 a.m., when he waited in line at the Schine Student Center for a cup of coffee. Nearly half an hour later, he settled in at a carrel on the fi fth floor of E.S. Bird Library, where he worked on his book.

On that particular day, Evensky didn’t leave the library until 2 p.m. He took a break and went for a walk on campus when he bumped into a former student.

“Can you believe it?” the student asked.

“No crisis is the same as the previous one, but you begin to develop the people that think about the right things.”

Kenneth “Buzz” Shaw

SU CHANCELLOR DURING 9/11

Evensky wasn’t sure what he was talking about.

The student, who Evensky said seemed agitated by the attacks, informed him of that morning’s events — of everything he had missed while he was in the library.

“It just seemed unbelievable,” Evensky recalled. He then went to his office to watch coverage of the attacks more than five hours after they occurred.

As the details became clearer, Evensky said he was shocked. Full of disbelief.

“I was probably the only person on the developed world who didn’t know until two in the afternoon,” he said. *** It took a while for things to return to normal.

Jason Sacks, who worked for the WAER-FM radio station when he was a junior broadcast journalism major, said sports took a back seat that week. Anything related to the attacks was more important.

The football game was canceled that weekend, and Sacks said it wasn’t until the following weekend during the game against Auburn University when “some life was back to the campus.”

Plans had to be changed. Sacks decided not to study abroad in Spain during the spring semester. It was too risky, he said: Security issues related to traveling were rising; America’s relationship with other countries was in jeopardy; and his parents and family would be too worried about his safety.

Such concerns made it difficult for students to get back to their routines, but they eventually settled down as they learned more about what was happening and of the changes that were in store. People became more patriotic — several hung up American flags, Sacks said — but things otherwise went on as they did before.

“It slowly eased back into things a couple of weeks afterward,” he said, “because people got back into their normalcy.” shkim11@syr.edu

Veterans contemplate time spent fighting abroad

By Laurence Leveille COPY CHIEF

One decade since the War on Terror began, thousands of U.S. troops continue their duties in Afghanistan and Iraq.

After the 9/11 attacks, the United States found itself in two separate wars: one in Afghanistan, which began Oct. 7, 2001, and a second in Iraq, which began March 20, 2003. Today, troops are still in both countries. About 111,700 U.S. troops were in and around Afghanistan as of June 30, according to a report from the Defense Manpower Data Center. President Barack Obama plans to withdraw 10,000 troops from Afghanistan by the end of 2011, and a total of 33,000 troops will return home by summer 2012, Obama said in his June 22 address to the nation.

The United States will hand over security to Afghans by 2014. In his Aug. 31, 2010 address on Iraq, Obama announced nearly 100,000 troops were removed from the country. Fewer than 50,000 troops remain in the country to advise

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 take stock of their lives. And 10 years later, Syracuse University students from those areas or nearby can still remember every vivid detail.

Cahill was in fourth grade at the time and lived in West Caldwell, N.J., about 20 miles outside of the city. Someone came into Cahillís class that morning to announce school would only be a half day. The explanation: high pollen count outside. Cahill didn’t think anything of it.

He waited for his mother to pick him up, but she never came. His best friend’s mom came for him and told him that his mother was busy. The friend’s mother promised to take the boys to KB Toys, but the store was closed for the day.

At the end of the day, Cahill was dropped off at home. And that’s when he found out about the attacks that killed his brother.

“My parents were probably scared to tell me,” he said.

Cahill’s father was lucky to make it home unscathed. He worked a block away from the World Trade Center and told his family he had to run through debris to get to safety.

Kathryn McCool, a senior psychology major, lost her innocence when the reality of her father’s dangerous life as a New York City firefighter was thrust upon her.

An announcement came over the loudspeaker as McCool sat in social studies class during her first weeks of sixth grade in Westchester, N.Y., about 30 miles outside of the city. The message was vague: There was a plane crash, and students were going to be sent home early.

One or two students were pulled aside, the rest — McCool among them — unaware as to why. Then, McCool was brought into the main office, too. While waiting to be told why she was called in, she overhead adults talking and realized what happened was more than a simple plane crash, but still lacked specifics.

Administrators told McCool her parents were not home and that she would have to go home with a family friend. One guidance counselor approached her to calm her even though she did not yet fully understand what she should be worried about.

“It’s OK. You’re dad’s fighting the fire, but

and assist Iraqi forces, and they are expected to leave by Dec. 31 as part of an agreement with the Iraqi government. Despite the agreement, a plan that would keep 3,000 to 4,000 troops in Iraq past the deadline for more security training could take effect, according to an article published

by The New York Times on Sept. 6. Although some U.S. troops remain in the two countries, others have returned home, including veterans enrolled at Syracuse University.

When Anthony Keach, a transfer student studying history, graduated from high school, everybody was going to college, but he wanted to do something different, he said. Instead of going to college right away, he joined the Army in July 2003 as a paralegal with a focus on criminal law.

The 9/11 coverage on television also influenced his decision.

“With the war and stuff going on, I wanted to see if I could be part of that,” he said.

Keach served in the Army until June 2011. In his eight years, he was deployed twice: once in

Iraq from 2004-05 and once in Afghanistan from January to July 2007.

When Keach first joined the Army he was a supporter of the war.

“I would say at first I thought it was really necessary just to protect the individual freedoms of the people here,” Keach said.

And he feels the same way today. Although many are probably questioning why the United States is still in Afghanistan and Iraq, Keach said, he can see and appreciate what the troops are doing for the people in those countries.

“People are going to argue we have our own problems back here, but they have issues that I think far exceed the issues that we have here,” he said.

But not all veterans share the same sentiments on the war. A.J. Lenowicz, a senior religion major, enlisted in the Army in March 2005, when he was halfway through college at SU. “I’d been in school for so long that I had lost the passion for it, and I wasn’t sure why I was

still in there,” he said. He added, “I needed to do something to shock myself into being a better student.”

Growing up, Lenowicz read classical literature, such as works by Ernest Hemingway. He said there is an intellectual masculine precedent for experiencing the conflict of one’s generation.

“I definitely didn’t shy away from it,” Lenowicz said. “It wasn’t a romantic ideal, but I definitely looked at that as some sort of precedent for what I was going to do.”

Lenowicz is currently on terminal leave but officially leaves the Army Sept. 20. During his five years in the service, he was part of the field artillery troop, flew drone aircrafts and left as a field sergeant.

Despite his involvement, Lenowicz said he never agreed with the reasons for the war.

“I didn’t then and I don’t now, but I felt in some way it was my duty to participate.”

he’s going to be fine,” McCool recalled the counselor saying. “And I was like, ‘What does this mean? What fire? What’s going on?’”

McCool’s older sister was in the office, too, and filled in the gaps. The guidance counselor was partially mistaken. When the planes hit the twin towers, McCool’s father and a group of 50 other firefighters happened to be golfing in the Poconos, in northeastern Pennsylvania. They rushed back to help but didn’t make it there until about 5 p.m. — long after both towers fell.

McCool’s father escaped the risk of having the towers fall on him, but his colleagues were not so lucky. His best friend was one of the first responders and stood in the lobby of the second tower as it collapsed.

Still, there was much rescue work to be done when McCool’s father arrived. In the first 24 hours after the incident, he was among groups of firefighters who saved a few lives. After that, work turned to finding missing bodies. For the next few days, McCool’s father was either at the site or resting at his firehouse and only had brief moments to reassure his daughter over the phone.

A year later, McCool visited ground zero — by then nothing but a gaping hole — and could only think of her father: “Since then, if I think a little bit too much about when my dad’s at work, I get really nervous. Now, it’s the reality that these terrible things happen.”

Ivory Sherman, a senior radio, television and film major, lost her innocence and realized the danger her life could be put in during her 10 a.m. sixth-grade science class.

Sherman attended middle school three blocks away from the Capitol building in Washington, D.C. During her class, someone came on the intercom to tell everyone to go downstairs to the gym converted from a bomb shelter.

Teachers who had friends and family in New York City struggled to keep themselves together. Other than saying planes hit the World Trade Center, teachers gave little information to the students to abate fears. But news of the Pentagon being hit and rumors that the Capitol or the metro station were next spread throughout the gym.

A number of the students’ parents were in the military and worked at the Pentagon. The

gym was divided between pacing students worried about their parents’ safety and children who saw the evacuation as an opportunity for extra recess.

“I kind of was in the middle,” Sherman said.

“I just wanted my mom.”

shut it off.

“You need to watch what’s happening. America is under attack,” Beachy remembered the teacher saying as everything that happened after the second plane hit the towers unfolded in front of the young students.

“I just remember thinking, ‘This must be a joke,’” Beachy said.

Beachy panicked as she thought about her aunt, who works near the World Trade Center in the financial district. She called her mother, who told her she would try to get in touch with her aunt. Hours later, Beachy’s aunt finally called back. But the conversation caught Beachy’s family off guard.

“Didn’t you guys hear a plane went down in Shanksville?” the aunt asked, concerned about their safety.

They were in disbelief until they turned on their TV and saw the downed plane, reduced to bits after barreling down at more than 500 mph.

“It’s kind of surreal because everyone in Somerset will say it, this is the last place for anything to happen,” Beachy said.

No one had ever heard of Shanksville or Somerset. Now the area was in the national spotlight. A couple of days later, a candlelit vigil was held at the courthouse. About 3,000 to 5,000 people showed up, and Beachy remembers sitting on the sidewalk after soccer practice, not being able to see an end to the sea of people.

Ten years on, the area is still all but defined by that day. Beachy, who is working on a documentary about the town’s reaction to 9/11, handed out directions to the crash site multiple times during the five years she worked at a local diner.

Pieces of human remains and plane wreckage still fall out of trees, and community members go every year to try to finish the clean up once and for all. Beachy said she thinks last year the group filled three garbage bags.

And with that constant reminder of the attacks, Beachy understands 9/11’s profound effect — not just on her, not just on her town, not just on New York or Washington, D.C. — but on the nation as a whole.

Said Beachy: “All of a sudden, our innocence was stripped away from us.”

Sherman’s mom ran into the school at around 2 p.m. in tears. “She was fighting for my life,” Sherman recalled.

The plane feared to be heading toward the Capitol never made it there. The story of United Airlines Flight 93 has been told and retold: a heroic group of passengers attempted to retake control of the plane from the hijackers, ultimately causing it to crash in a field in Shanksville, Penn.

Eight miles away from Shanksville in Somerset, Penn., Laura Beachy, a senior television, radio and film major, lost her innocence when she found out even a small town nobody has heard of is not immune to terrorism.

Beachy was walking to her sixth-grade English class after a violin lesson when the teacher ushered all the students in, quickly locked the door and switched on a TV. A memo had gone out to teachers across Somerset County, where both towns are located, not to show students of any grade footage of the attacks, so other teachers began knocking on the door, telling her to

Tragedy prompts security to increase

By Jon Harris ASST. NEWS EDITOR

As the United States nears the 10th anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks — a date al-Qaeda has said offers a potential opportunity to strike the country again —security at airports across the United States reminds travelers of the implemented changes over the past 10 years to prevent another violent attack.

In the wake of 9/11, President George W. Bush signed the Aviation and Transportation Security Act into law on Nov. 19, 2001. The law gave the federal government responsibility for airport screening and established the Transportation Security Administration to oversee security.

SEEING IS BELIEVING

The Department of Homeland Security’s campaign, “If You See Something, Say Something,” is a public awareness campaign aimed at getting people to report suspicious activity to state and local authorities.

People who use mass transit consistently — such as an airline worker, regular fl yers or even somebody who takes tickets at a subways station — are encouraged to report any suspicious behavior, said Lisa Farbstein, spokeswoman for the Transportation Security Administration.

“They know their stations and they know their airports like the backs of their hands and so employees who see something and let somebody know, that can be checked,” Farbstein said. “… That’s been very successful, and we encourage people to continue to do that.”

With the anniversary only three days away, the TSA is increasing security and monitoring situations as they develop, said Lisa Farbstein, TSA spokeswoman.

“The threats are still there,” she said. “But we’ve improved our process, we’ve improved technology, and we have improved the quality of people we have on our workforce. And so we are better equipped to detect and deter an attack now than we’ve ever been.”

The security efforts begin when a person purchases a ticket. When travelers buy a ticket online, they enter their name, date of birth and gender. The TSA then runs that person’s name against multiple lists, Farbstein said.

Upon arriving at the airport, travelers will notice the security outside and leading to the airport. The TSA also has officials such as behavior detection officers, K-9 teams and document checkers, Farbstein said.

Once travelers reach the checkpoint, a conveyor belt screens items for explosive devices, she said. Meanwhile, agents check travelers’ baggage while other officials view the checked luggage a second time for explosives, Farbstein said.

The TSA also uses random screening before travelers are allowed onto the airplane, she said.

“You never know what tool that we’re going to be using that day. Are we going to be using the K-9s that day?” Farbstein said. “Are we going to be doing swabbing of your baggage or your hands that day? Sometimes we do an extra check of your boarding pass right there at the gate before you walk onto the airplane.”

The agency will focus more on people it has less information about, as those travelers

are considered a higher risk than people the agency is familiar with, Farbstein said. The TSA is looking at speeding up screening for some travelers, she said.

But the sometimes lengthy security checks at airports haven’t frustrated some of SU’s top officials.

Kevin Quinn, SU’s senior vice president for public affairs, said he travels by plane about eight to 10 times per year for work and personal reasons. Quinn made work-related trips to Dubai and Istanbul this summer.

Quinn said he was once in line behind a man during one of the checks and watched as the man emptied his pockets and put a jackknife in the bin typically used to store change and wristwatches as passengers walk through a metal detector.

“And he just put it in there like it was a quarter, and he was shocked that he couldn’t bring it through,” he said.

Lou Marcoccia, SU’s chief financial officer and executive vice president, travels by plane less than five times per year, but he is familiar with the security functions.

Before 9/11, Marcoccia said he was coming back from an NCAA Tournament game once and there was a bomb scare on the plane, causing security officials to bring in dogs to inspect the plane. After the check, Marcoccia didn’t feel uneasy about boarding the plane.

“You put all your trust and faith that it’s going to go from here and get there,” he said.

“You do the same thing when you get in a cab at the airport and some stranger is driving you downtown, so there’s certain things that you just say, ‘Please God, let me get there.’”

“I think so because in school security wasn’t really important, and now that people know that these things can happen, whether you live in New York or on a farm, I think people take it a lot more seriously."

Hendricks Chapel, campus groups to honor anniversary

By Breanne Van Nostrand ASST. COPY EDITOR

A tree able to bear over 40 different types of fruit was selected as the symbol of Syracuse University Remembers, a series of events reflecting on 9/11.

The living tree, titled “A Tree of 40 Fruit,” was created by SU professor Sam Van Aken and will produce 40 different types of fruit from the

SU Remembers

A number of events and activities to mark the 10th anniversary of Sept. 11, including an interfaith service of remembrance and hope.

Where: Hendricks Chapel When: Sunday, 2 p.m.

How much: Free stone fruit family through a process of grafting and budding.

“We wanted a symbol for the service that would help us to understand our unity in diversity, that we all are different and have come to this event bringing different pasts, different hopes, different dreams and identities,” said Tiffany Steinwert, dean of Hendricks Chapel.

“We have been grafted together by this singular event into a whole community.”

The tree, planned to be a permanent fixture on the Quad, will not be planted until October or

November. The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City has already purchased a companion piece titled “Tree of 100 Fruit,” Steinwert said.

Hendricks will be hosting a Service of Remembrance and Hope as part of SU Remembers. The service, designed to reflect on past memories and inspire commitment to make a better world, takes place Sunday to commemorate the 10th anniversary of 9/11, said Steinwert. It is an opportunity for students to gather at Hendricks to find a place of comfort, solace and hope on 9/11, Steinwert said.

Sunday’s service will feature performances by the SU Brass Ensemble, Hendricks Chapel Choir, Black Celestial Choral Ensemble and Syracuse Children’s Chorus. Former Hendricks dean Thomas Wolfe and Remembrance Scholar Laura Beachy will speak at the event, according to SU’s website.

Steinwert said the service is expected to fi ll Hendricks to capacity, but overflow space has been reserved and no one will be turned away.

Attendees will have the opportunity to write thoughts and comments on white bedsheets that will join SU’s Sheets of Expression collection.

After the 9/11 attacks, students went to Hendricks seeking solace and comfort, Steinwert said. They were encouraged to write quotes, prayers, names and any emotions they were feeling on the sheets.

A few of the sheets are on display in the Schine Student Center, the Paul Greenberg House in Washington D.C., the Lubin House in New York City and SU’s center in Los Angeles, Steinwert said.

Hendricks is also sponsoring panel discussions for students next week. The panels will take place in the Noble Room and will feature professors leading discussions on topics such as memory, art, trauma and media in the wake of 9/11. The discussions are a chance to take a step back and let students see how the past 10 years have shaped their lives and the world, Steinwert said.

“We hope that will be a time for students to talk about their own experiences,” she said.

In honor of 9/11, SU’s chapter of College Republicans will be displaying over 2,000 American flags commemorating the lives lost, said Zach Weiss, secretary for the College Republicans, in an email.

“We encourage students to visit the display between September 9 and 12 between the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications and the Schine Student Center,” Weiss said.

SU is participating in the nationwide campaign “Better Together,” an initiative that works to bridge students of all beliefs together, Steinwert said. Canned goods are being collected for the local Interreligious Food Consortium of CNY and a portion of the

proceeds from Sunday’s University Union Juice Jam concert will go toward the United Nations’ World Food Programme for famine relief in the Horn of Africa. Students can also exchange canned food at Juice Jam for concert memorabilia.

“University Union has been very gracious to host the launching of ‘Better Together’ and to merge it with Juice Jam,” Steinwert said.

Carly Hamond, senior inclusive education major, said she does not plan on attending Juice Jam but might go the service at Hendricks. She said she knows what the concerts are usually like at SU, and she didn’t feel it would be right to be in that kind of mood on 9/11.

“I’ll probably just keep mostly to myself that day, not do something that revolves around a party,” she said.

Because each person deals with things differently, Steinwert said she encourages students to find community on 9/11, pay attention to personal feelings and reach out to each other.

“For some people, that may mean tears, for others that may mean laughter. For some, that might mean going to the service and being surrounded by a community that together remembers this event,” Steinwert said. “And for others it might mean mindlessly dancing to electronica on South Campus.” brvannos@syr.edu

Diner deluxe

Red Rose Diner offers cozy ambience, eclectic menu

W

By Jillian D’Onfro STAFF WRITER

ith its warm, blush-colored walls and three cozy booths complimenting the counter seating, The Red Rose Diner offers a classic diner feel with a little twist. Hint: You can order a serving of grape leaves with your cheese omelet.

Middle Eastern food is a specialty of Hana Mouchantaf, who owns the quaint diner, nestled in central downtown Syracuse on 206 S. Warren St. She moved to the United States from Lebanon and wanted to create a menu for the Red Rose that would reflect her origins.

Boasting a mix of Middle Eastern dishes, typical diner breakfast fare and several American options, the Red Rose menu offers diverse choices.

Falafel, French toast, spanakopita, egg sandwiches or grilled cheese with veggies: Red Rose has something to satisfy every craving.

Mouchantaf explained that if someone wants to order an item that isn’t listed strictly on the menu, she is always happy to make accommodations.

“Whatever you like, we’ll put it together,” she said.

Hungry for something more out-of-theordinary than breakfast food, my dining partner and I decided to order and share the chicken and feta sandwich ($6.45) and the chicken shawarma ($6.50). Neither one of us knew what shawarma was, but we didn’t have to wait long to find out.

Wrapped tightly in thick pita bread, both sandwiches came with a bag of chips and a dill pickle.

Upon my first bite of the chicken and feta sandwich, I rejoiced at the juiciness of the chicken and the plentiful amount of cheese. Although there was no special sauce or spice to liven up the sandwich, I appreciated its well-crafted simplicity. The chicken shawarma offered a bolder flavor. Thick marinated chicken, lettuce, tomatoes, hummus and tahini sauce practically burst out of the slightly crisped pita. Mouchantaf’s Lebanese roots came through loud and clear with each delicious, seasoned bite.

Just as we were finishing our last bites and starting to seriously fill up, Mouchantaf insisted we try two kinds of her homemade baklava, one made with chopped pistachios and the other with almonds. Resistance was futile, and let’s be honest, who can resist dessert?

I took my first bite without high expectations.

Every time I’ve sampled the sugary pastry in the past, I’ve been overwhelmed by its honeyed sweetness. While the pistachio baklava is well-suited for those with a rampant sweet tooth, the almond baklava took me by surprise. Crisp, lightly honeyed and very nutty, it paired perfectly with the last sips of coffee left in our cups.

While sitting at our booth, chatting between bites, other patrons read the paper at the bar or tucked into Red Rose’s robust dishes. I was overtaken by the comfort of the classic diner feel, even after I had just consumed a meal I previously wouldn’t have even known how to pronounce.

Well worth the bus trip, bike ride or autumnal jaunt necessary to get downtown, The Red Rose Diner has a hominess and unique ethnic spin that sets it apart from the ordinary diner. jidonfro@syr.edu

THIRSTY THURSDAY BEER AT THE SYRACUSE IRISH FESTIVAL Looking to get in touch with your Irish heritage? Or maybe you’ve always wanted to buy a kilt? Whatever you’re aiming to do when it comes to Ireland, you can find it at the Syracuse Irish Festival. And yes, that includes beer.

The Syracuse Irish Festival, held downtown in Clinton Square, is a great way to get acquainted with the city and with some ethnic culture this weekend. Friday from noon to 11 p.m. and Saturday from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m., the fair will be filled with traditional food, beverages, vendors and, of course, music.

Some people might be afraid to try out an Irish beer — let’s face it, Guinness can be intimidating, and, frankly, you can’t chug it like a Keystone. But dark stouts like Guinness are filling and flavorful, not watery like cheaper beers.

The Irish Festival serves all beers on tap, so you get the foamy head of the Guinness when you order — the way it’s supposed to be served. In addition, the festival offers other traditional Irish beers such as Harp Lager, a creamier ale, and Smithwick’s, a red ale.

Entrance to the festival is free, but donations are suggested. Once you’re in, you can grab a cold draft and peruse the vendors as well. In addition to authentic kilts, there are plenty of traditional Irish clothing and wares.

And don’t forget to check out the two main stages, where from noon on you can catch local Irish step dancing schools performing and classic Irish bands complete with bagpipes.

Don’t think you can make it to the Syracuse Irish Festival this weekend? You can have your own Irish Festival right on your porch or in your dorm. If you’re 21, of course. Try out some

EVENTS CALENDAR Three upcoming events that students should jot down in their planners

FRIDAY The University Community Harvest Farmers’ Market series will be held from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. in the Waverly parking lot. Launched in 2007, the market features a wide variety of locally grown fruits, vegetables and plants. Vendors will sell snacks and handmade crafts.

The Communications Internship Fair will be in the Panasci Lounge in Schine Student Center from 2-5 p.m. Company representatives from a variety of fields will be available to discuss internship availabilities, collect resumes and hand out company information.

SUNDAY A service of Remembrance and Hope will be held from 2-3 p.m. in Hendricks Chapel and is open to both Syracuse University and greater Syracuse communities. The service will include an interfaith prayer created by the Hendricks Chapel Chaplains’ Council. Speeches by Thomas Wolfe, senior vice president and dean of student affairs, and Laura Beachy, a senior and Remembrance Scholar, will follow. The reception will be on the Quad, where individuals will be able to share their thoughts on sheets that will be added to the SU Remembers: 9/11 Sheets of Expression collection maintained by SU Archives.

ast weekend, I found myself staring at a couple in a bar on Marshall Street. The girl was perched on the bar, her legs wrapped around the guy’s waist, making out with him like it was going out of style. I was a little freaked out watching them. I mean, come on people, this is a bar.

A few days later the image was still stuck in my head. I started to wonder if I was the only one taken back by this raunchy display. What happened to me? I didn’t used to be this bothered by public displays of affection. I decided to ask some friends.

“I would never randomly make out with people at the bars,” agreed senior J. So it’s not just me.

Another senior, S, said she witnessed a couple making out at a frat party last weekend.

“It bothered me,” she said. “It was gross. I guess I’m just more mature now.”

Rewind three years. Three things I always anticipated walking into a house party or a frat party: dim lights, pounding music and people feverishly making out everywhere I looked.

RITA KOKSHANIAN

classy, not trashy Obnoxious PDAs seemed completely normal to me then. Now, they make me want to vomit.

Many girls I talked to admitted that now that they’re older, their desire for random hookups has died down. One said that when she was a freshman, she would constantly think about guys. It made her feel better about herself when she was hooking up with someone.

“I would take everything guys said so seriously when I was younger, but now I know they’re just trying to get laid,” J said.

So girls are hooking up less as they get older.

This has to mean that guys are, too.

Wrong.

The guys I talked to seem to agree that their number of hookups has stayed the same since freshman year or, in most cases, increased.

But why the difference between guys and girls?

“Senior girls have caught on to the rouse,” said J, a male senior. “That’s why when I’m looking to hook up with a girl, I’m not going after a stuck up junior or senior. I’m going after that freshman or sophomore who’s still in that mentality of ‘I want to get laid.’”

So it seems that as girls mature, they decide they don’t want flimsy flings as much as they did when they were younger. They are more secure with themselves and don’t need a guy to make them feel confident. Guys see that the girls their age aren’t looking for one night stands anymore, so they go after the younger girls who are.

Kind of reminds me of that line from “Dazed and Confused,” when David Wooderson says, “That’s what I love about these high school girls, man. I get older, they stay the same age.”

The Orange’s game plans for a defense with soft coverage and basic pressure packages — things offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett said the coaching staff saw on film from all 12 Demon Deacons games last year — became futile. Syracuse lost five yards

the returners were embarrassed, losing 5-1.

“I think at the time it represented something,” Brode, a junior midfielder said. “There’s definitely a little rivalry between us and them and practices got a little intense.”

That intensity can be traced to the team’s 13 freshmen, a huge

incoming class. This year’s men’s soccer squad has 19 new players that make up more than half the team. Many of the newcomers are expected to play critical roles in getting SU (1-2, 0-0 Big East) back on track following last season’s 2-10-5 record.

Young runners have chance to prove themselves for SU

By Alex Ptachick Staff Writer

Only 13 of Syracuse’s 51 runners took part in the Harry Lang Invitational on Sept. 3 in Hamilton, N.Y., last weekend. And they weren’t the Orange’s top 13 harriers.

Instead, SU head coach Chris Fox chose younger runners to participate in the seasonopening meet last weekend. Specifically, those who are trying to show how valuable they can be to the team.

“It was kind of just a low-key meet for us,” redshirt freshman Jon Squeri said. “Last weekend it was just me and a bunch of guys who are trying to go out and prove ourselves.”

And they did so successfully, winning the Harry Lang Invitational easily after securing six of the top seven times on the men’s side. Fox said the importance of attending these earlyseason meets is to develop the younger runners.

It gives them a chance to gain experience before the intensity of the bigger meets arrives. SU’s women’s team placed first as well.

Squeri was one runner who seized the moment. He was the top performer for the men’s team with a time of 20:54 in the 6K, finishing second overall.

But despite the success, not every young runner thought they would even have a chance to compete so early in the season.

“I didn’t really expect to contribute to the team this early on because I struggled a lot last year, so I didn’t really know what to expect,” said sophomore Alexandra Clinton, who placed third in the women’s 4,200-meter race.

For now, guidance comes from the older, more experienced runners. Their words of encouragement give the newer runners high hopes of continuing to perform well throughout the remainder of the season.

Working hard to prove themselves in the first few meets is a clear goal. And as they do so, the younger players build leadership skills while the veterans look on. Developing less-experienced teammates is another work in progress.

“I look to all the older girls that have been in the bigger races and have experienced all that,” Clinton said. “I don’t think they realize they give me advice, but seeing how much they have achieved gives me motivation to work harder.”

Encouraging teammates during races to push themselves is just one of the ways that Squeri embodies leadership. Fox said he asked the team to run together for half the race at the Harry Lang Invitational.

Squeri described the team’s decision to run in a pack as a bundle of sticks. And a bundle is “unbreakable,” whereas a solo runner is “easier to break.”

In that bundle, the runners pushed each other and ran neck and neck right down to the finish, where they secured their second through seventh placements on the men’s side.

“We asked them to run together for about half the race, and they did,” Fox said. “Then they kind of went and did their own thing.”

The younger runners have one more tune-up meet before the “real” season begins Sept. 30 at the Paul Short Invitational in Bethlehem, Pa.

Next weekend, the team travels back to Hamilton, N.Y., for the Colgate Invitational, which is the last proving ground.

Fox said that after last week’s impressive performance, some of the less experienced runners might be contributing to the team when it comes time to larger meets like the Wisconsin Adidas Invitational and Pre-Nationals in Indiana.

“We may run a good bit of our kids in two weeks at another kind of low-key meet at Colgate, but the real season begins the last week in September,” Fox said.

Squeri and Clinton both hope to be a part of the travel team and run at those bigger meets.

Squeri said only the top 14 runners go to the

meet in Wisconsin, and Clinton said one of her goals is to benefit the team this year.

They recognize that “everyone can start,” as Squeri put it. But it’s the runners that can gut out a race and finish strong that are most valuable to the team.

These early-season meets are a chance for younger runners to show what they’re worth, with a bigger goal in mind.

“Everyone can start, but it’s really how you finish and where you finish that’s important,” Squeri said. “I want to improve on finishing better. I want to make sure I finish with these guys and help push them.” acptachi@syr.edu

Rhode Island head coach Joe Trainer said this week that Isijola, the team’s leading rusher last season among running backs, is URI’s up-the-middle back. Bromley and the rest of the SU defensive tackles will try to stuff him for no gain.

SU has had mixed results against dual-threat quarterbacks recently in Big East play.

Probst ran for 600 yards last year, but his nine-to-12 touchdown-to-interception ratio was a bit suspect. Can Syracuse keep him in the pocket?

Provo should be able to exploit his matchups against Rhode Island. The Rams lost all three starting linebackers from last year. While Zocco is only a sophomore, he’s the most experienced of URI’s three starting backers.

These Rams aren’t the “greatest show on turf.” Syracuse starts 2-0, but the only reward is a primetime date with Southern California.

Orange faces top-5 opponent for 2nd consecutive weekend

By Stephen Bailey Asst. Copy Editor

Syracuse spent all of last week gearing up for a matchup with then-No. 2 North Carolina.

This week, the Orange has been doing the same thing.

In the new National Field Hockey Coaches Association poll Tuesday, SU’s first opponent of Who: Ohio State this weekend, Old University Where: Columbus, Ohio Dominion, climbed 10 spots to the No. When: Friday, 2 p.m.

2 spot. Syracuse blew a two-goal lead against the Tar Heels last weekend. But SU is grateful for another opportunity against the Monarchs.

“Not a lot of people get a second opportunity,” freshman midfielder Jordan Page said.

“And I think that if you don’t take good care of the opportunities you are presented, they will most likely be taken care of by someone else.”

Syracuse takes on the Monarchs on Saturday in the second game of a doubleheader on Ohio State’s campus this weekend, the second doubleheader in as many weekends for the No. 5 Orange. SU (2-1) will take on unranked Ohio State (2-3) on Friday. The Buckeyes do have history with head coach Ange Bradley’s squad, eliminating the Orange in the second round of the NCAA tournament last season.

But while SU is looking for two wins this weekend, the main focus is undoubtedly Old

UP NEXT

Dominion.

After defeating then-No. 1 Maryland this past Friday, ODU was right behind North Carolina for the No. 1 ranking in Tuesday’s poll, earning 14 of the 31 first-place votes. But SU will take the field against the Monarchs with the same feeling it had when it traveled to Chapel Hill, N.C. Syracuse is more concerned with the opposing team on the field than the ranking listed by its name, junior back Iona Holloway said.

“Rankings are what they are,” Holloway said. “They’re not something that we pay particular attention to.”

Holloway’s sentiments mimicked those of Bradley’s one week ago when she called Syracuse the “most threatening” team to itself this year.

The Orange has maintained an aggressive approach on the field through three games no matter how highly regarded its opponents have been so far. With its only loss coming to the current top team in the nation, SU has executed well so far.

Syracuse’s mentality didn’t waver in a 4-1 win over then-No. 11 Wake Forest this past Saturday, just one day after the Orange was defeated.

Holloway said that disposition of consistency is just the Syracuse way.

“We are an attacking team,” Holloway said.

“Our press is attacking, we play hard defense.

Nothing changes particularly from week to week.”

Syracuse’s first matchup of the weekend — although not as big this year — is a rematch for a disappointing result last year. The Orange fell to Ohio State 3-2 in overtime of a secondround matchup in last year’s NCAA tournament.

Though the seniors on that team are gone and the freshman class hadn’t yet joined Syracuse, roughly half the players who were there that day in University Park, Pa., are still on roster. And they haven’t forgotten that matchup.

Sophomore back Laura Hahnefeldt still remembers how she felt walking off the field.

The team’s hopes and dreams of reaching the final four were gone, just like that.

But this is a new team and a new year.

Rather than looking back, Hahnefeldt and the Orange are moving forward.

“We fought so hard and now that we have another chance, we really want to make up for it,” Hahnefeldt said. “We really want to be at the top of the rankings, and it’s a good opportunity to play them to see where we are.”

A win over OSU would provide the Orange with a small taste of redemption. But as far as moving to the top of the rankings, a win over Old Dominion would make a stronger case.

In addition to dethroning the Terrapins, ODU defeated then-No. 3 Virginia two days later. The Monarchs also knocked off then-No. 8 Penn State and then-No. 10 American earlier in the season.

Syracuse hopes to avoid being on Old Dominion’s growing list of top-10 victims.

ODU’s impressive resume, paired with the fact that SU lost in its first opportunity to beat the No. 2 team in the country, adds up to a lot of motivation, said Holloway.

The Orange won’t go down without a fight.

“We’re just really excited to get another chance to play a very highly ranked team who has come out really strong at the start of their season,” Holloway said. sebail01@syr.edu

do as a coach,” said former SU defender Dan McGowan, who graduated in May. “I definitely think the team has a better chance this year.”

And playing the newcomers will be a part of building that competitive mentality. The Orange has found success with new players stepping up early on.

Senior forward Dan Summers, who transferred from Hartwick, has provided the Orange with an experienced playmaker on offense. He hasn’t scored through three regular-season games, but he has been a revelation in moving the ball offensively for a unit that struggled to find the back of the net throughout 2010 and early in 2011.

And then there’s the back four on defense.

Three are freshmen, yet they’ve combined to make the defense a strength of the team in the early part of the season.

“With all of the new players, many of them young, he will continue to test them and get a feel for what they are ready for and capable of,” former SU goalkeeper Jeremy Vuolo said in an email to The Daily Orange. “Those that are ready and capable will be the players Mac relies on.”

One of those freshmen defenders is Skylar Thomas, who has scored two goals in three games to lead the Orange offensively.

But even one of Thomas’ goals, his tally

“The whole team is new and everyone’s getting used to it. It was a quick adjustment. But I think we’ve done well.”

Phil Boerger SU goalkeeper

against Canisius, was a stroke of luck. A corner kick took a fortunate bounce his way, and he headed it in for SU’s first goal of the season.

In that same game, Summers was all over the field, aiding the aerial attack from an offensive standpoint. He used his body like a weapon, throwing it at the ball and fighting to gain possession.

McIntyre has seen that relentless style of play in the freshman class, too. Perhaps it’s rubbed off on them from the experienced Summers.

“That freshness, that energy and enthusiasm has been great,” McIntyre said. “It’s been contagious, and there’s been a good vibe in practice.”

That vibe has continued from practice to games so far, even if the team has only won once in three tries. The players are starting to get comfortable with each other on and off the field.

Just one month ago hardly anyone knew each other. At the beginning of the preseason, new goalkeeper Phil Boerger said everyone arrived in Syracuse and met pretty much for the first time.

There was no key nucleus returning from last year. Newcomers and veterans alike fought for starting spots.

Boerger, another new senior, was one of the first newcomers to arrive at Syracuse when he came last spring. Then there were roughly a dozen players left on the team after transfers and graduation. Now there are 31.

“The whole team is new and everyone’s getting used to it,” Boerger said. “It was a quick adjustment. But I think we’ve done well.”

Boerger’s assessment rings true now. The team has come a long way since that Orange and Blue game in August when the sides were

“It breeds a competitive environment,” the former defender McGowan said. “It’s good for the team.”

With the large group of newcomers, McIntyre has players that fit his system as he moves through the second year of his tenure. There won’t be as much of a retraining process that the 2010 team went through with some of its players used to former SU head coach Dean Foti’s system.

The newcomers give the team a better chance at a winning record, but it’s important to remember that they’re still freshmen. The veteran presence of the returning players remains crucial as the first-year players adjust to the college game.

Vuolo knows the valuable dynamic the veterans bring to the team. As last year’s starting goalkeeper for the Orange, Vuolo dealt with a similar amount of turnovers at the beginning of last season. He himself was a transfer from Hartwick.

“The majority of the returning players have been in high-profile games before,” Vuolo said. “So when the pressure begins to build and as the season progresses, the younger players will be able to look to them as examples.”

And Vuolo said McIntyre understands each player’s abilities and how to use them, new or old.

In addition to Thomas, freshman forward Grant Chong seems to be one player McIntyre will rely on heavily. Chong admitted he was both excited and nervous before the exhibition, the first collegiate game of any kind for him.

He didn’t think the new guys had a chance to win, that they would instead be “pounded” by the returnees. But in a match filled with tangled feet, head bumping and sliding battles, Chong scored two goals and the newcomers were the ones that provided the pounding.

“We really didn’t have any pressure on us,” Chong said. “We just can’t stop running. We’re always looking to get better because we know we don’t have our spots.”

As the younger players solidify their roles on the team, the two sides will merge. There’s leadership coming from the returning members of last year’s team and from a new player in Summers, a senior offensive leader. Plus there’s a huge talent pool to choose from with the 18 other new faces.

A few weeks into the season, the Orange and Blue game is close to being erased from the

players’ minds. Even for Brode. Any semblance of a rivalry has been tabled as the 2011 squad begins to gel.

But coming together as a unit is only half the battle. The team still needs to go out and produce on the field — something last year’s team couldn’t do. SU won’t make it to the Big East tournament without getting results.

“Now it doesn’t matter what year you are or how long you’ve been here,” McIntyre said. “As soon as we pull on that Orange jersey we’re one team. We’re the Syracuse team.” rnmarcus@syr.edu

that you wish we could have got to a little early.”

It took Syracuse three-plus quarters to adjust to the crazy, attacking defense Wake Forest brought to pick up a last-ditch win in overtime.

And with Football Championship Subdivision opponent Rhode Island (0-0) entering the Carrier Dome this week, the Orange (1-0) wants to get out to a much faster start in all facets. Wake Forest had more than double the amount of plays and time of possession as SU in a lopsided first half last Thursday.

While the Rams may look like an easy win for the Orange on paper, Saturday’s game against URI (4:30 p.m., Time Warner Cable Sports) is a chance for Syracuse to mend the mistakes it made in its miraculous first victory.

That begins with a faster start.

“Just coming out excited,” safety Shamarko Thomas said. “Coming out excited and just pushing each other and competing more. And have faster tempo in the game.”

Syracuse players said the coaching staff’s main emphasis this week was coming out and playing fast in the first quarter on Saturday.

Hackett said he tells the players that starting fast has to become a way of life in team meetings.

A way of life all the way down to the manner in which they eat — having the best breakfast they can in the morning and then going after the day.

Slow starts were a problem for Syracuse last season, too, especially on offense. The Orange was often stagnant in the first half last season, failing to score in the first quarter in three wins — including one against Maine, an FCS team. Two years ago, Syracuse trailed at the

footba ll half against Maine. Rhode Island comes from the same conference as the Black Bears, the Colonial Athletic Association.

The Orange scored double-digit points in the first quarter in just one of its eight wins last year.

“We’re not necessarily known for coming out of the gate and doing great things,” Hackett said.

“That’s something our team has to be better at, and every one of them know that. And that’s a big goal for us.”

With Rhode Island, Syracuse faces the same conundrum that it just faced against Wake Forest.

Although the majority of college teams started the season last weekend, URI had a first-week bye.

So just like last week, SU has to work with potentially outdated film. The Rams will be debuting a new defensive coordinator on Saturday, too.

The game is also sandwiched between nonconference games against two power-conference opponents. SU has to put behind the adrenaline rush that came with last Thursday’s win and avoid looking ahead to Southern California next weekend.

All that while also trying to get out to a faster start.

The matchup has the makings of a so-called trap game, although running back Antwon Bailey said last week’s performance is a reminder that will keep SU focused.

“We still got a lot to prove,” Bailey said. “We got the crap beat out of us for three quarters, so I don’t think — trap game won’t be a problem around here at all.”

Defensively, a fast start will depend on increased communication. Rhode Island features a dual-threat quarterback, Steve Probst, who ran for 600 yards last season.

Thomas said SU needs to talk more on defense when facing a quarterback who can run

Syracuse went scoreless in the first quarter against Wake Forest. as well as pass. The secondary needs to communicate with each other so the cornerbacks know if they need to break off from their wide receiver if Probst is scrambling.

“I might be sticking the receiver and I don’t know it’s a run,” cornerback Keon Lyn said. “So as a defense you got to communicate, talk out there so I can get off my block earlier, get off my keys, get off the player and go make a play on the ball.”

And on offense, Hackett said the difference will be making adjustments faster. Rhode Island has shown a couple of unique looks on film. Plus,

URI may base its game plan off of what it saw from SU last week.

But Hackett said there’s only so much he and the coaching staff can do to prepare. He can’t ever tell whether Syracuse will come out of the tunnel playing fast. That’s just going to depend on the players.

“I sure as heck hope so,” Hackett said. “I think I thought we were for Wake Forest, but you never know until the lights come on and people are in the stands.” mcooperj@syr.edu
