SU restarts program in Egypt for spring ‘12

By Meghin Delaney NEWS EDITOR

Syracuse University students will be able to return to the Cairo program in spring 2012, a year after some students were evacuated from the country.

When political turmoil and unrest first broke out in Cairo in late January, four SU Abroad students were quickly pulled out of the program and relocated to other abroad locations. All students flew out of Egypt by Feb. 2.

Toledo Athletic Director Mike O’Brien said Sunday that he made a formal request to Mid-American Conference Commissioner Jon Steinbrecher to contact the Big East conference and ask that Syracuse’s 33-30 overtime win against the Rockets be vacated.

The win should subsequently be awarded to Toledo, he said.

“I just wanted everyone to be aware that I requested our MidAmerican Conference Commissioner Jon Steinbrecher this morning that he contact the Big East conference relative to yesterday’s Syracuse game and ask that the win be vacated and awarded to the University of Toledo,” O’Brien said in a press conference.

Major starts film, creative writing tracks CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Syracuse University’s English department added two new tracks to the English and textual studies major. The major, one of the largest humanities majors, will give students the option to focus on creative writing or film and screen studies.

ETS has been attracting an increasing amount of students toward its offerings in creative writing and fi lm, said Roger Hallas, associate professor and director of undergraduate studies of SU’s English department. After about two years of planning, the English department has opened the new

Following the lead of Tunisians, Egyptians took to the streets in late January in protest of President Hosni Mubarak’s regime. Mubarak’s regime retaliated with a nationwide internet blackout, drawing criticism from many. Libya, Yemen, Bahrain, Syria, Iran and Saudi Arabia have also experienced similar uprisings in varying degrees.

tracks for students to pursue.

“With recent faculty hires and the introduction of new courses, we thought it was the right time to establish specific emphases for students who want to concentrate their studies in the major in one of these two areas,” Hallas said.

All ETS students are eligible for the new tracks, said Carroll Beauvais, ETS professor. ETS students are not required to focus on either creative writing or film and screen studies, she said. The new tracks are optional concentrations for students who choose to study either field, she said.

There is no creative writing major, so the new track will allow students to

concentrate on that subject, Beauvais said. In previous years, the only creative writing program was offered at the graduate level, she said.

“The new creative writing track allows undergraduate ETS majors the option of emphasizing creative writing in their coursework while studying under the distinguished faculty in the creative writing MFA program, a program that was recently ranked fi fth nationally by Poets & Writers Magazine,” Beauvais said.

The fi lm and screen studies track will focus on the study of fi lm, video, television, gaming and other forms of screen-based media, SEE ARTS AND SCIENCES PAGE 6

Nearly 10 months after leasing its facility to Chipotle Mexican Grill, King David’s Restaurant reopened Sept. 17 on Marshall Street.

The Middle Eastern restaurant was a campus fixture for more than three decades before the economy

caught up to it last November.

“The restaurant business is a struggle,” said Charlie Hatem, owner of King David’s. “Leasing to Chipotle was a golden opportunity.”

Hatem said he never planned to go out of business, though. Initially, he searched for a new location within the city, but there was no comparison to

Vet talks on racism after 9/11

crime briefs • A burglary involving four Syracuse University students occurred between 3:30 and 7:56 a.m. Friday at an apartment building on the 1000 block of Harrison Street.

One resident of the apartment, a junior in the Martin J. Whitman School of Management, had a 2007 Volkswagen Jetta stolen. Another resident, also a junior in Whitman, had a Samsung TV stolen. A third resident, a junior in the David B. Falk College of Sport and Human Dynamics, had a Louis Vuitton wallet and credit cards stolen.

One resident told police that the three woke up Friday and discovered their patio door was open. It was then that the residents realized they were missing a TV and two sets of keys.

Police conducted a search of the parking lot with two of the residents and discovered the Jetta was gone.

Two of the residents went to sleep Friday at 3:30 a.m. while the third and a guest, who is a senior in the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications, went to sleep at about 5:30 a.m. Friday, according to a Syracuse police report.

The three residents and the guest told police they weren’t sure if the patio door was locked but thought it was shut. Police observed no damage to the door, indicating there was no forced entry.

The case remains open, and the Jetta was not towed within Syracuse or Onondaga County as of Friday, police noted.

• Two Syracuse residents were issued park curfew violations at 1 a.m. Saturday in Thornden Park, which closes to the public at 10 p.m. during this time of the year.

• William Duerte, 21, of Farm Acre Road, was arrested on Marshall Street at 2:58 a.m. Friday and charged with two counts related to driving while intoxicated, according to police reports. He is due to appear in Syracuse City Traffic Court on Oct. 18 at 9:30 a.m.

• Samantha Dunham, 31, of Syracuse, was arrested at 2:55 a.m. Saturday on the 500 block of Westcott Street for several traffic violations.

Dunham was charged with three counts related to driving while intoxicated, one count for missing a distinctive plate on her 2007 Dodge Durango, one count for interfering with safe flow of traffic and another count for failing to use the designated lane.

The two passengers in the vehicle with Dunham were also charged.

Brandon Davis, 30, of Syracuse, was charged with criminal possession of a controlled substance in the seventh degree. Davis possessed powder cocaine folded up in a $10 bill when police searched him — a search he agreed to. Johnny Gainey, 18, of Syracuse, was issued an unlawful possession of marijuana violation.

Members of the Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority, located on Comstock Avenue, flag down cars for a car wash held on Sunday. The car wash raised money to support their national philanthropy project, “Reading is Fundamental.” The money will be used to support local reading programs throughout the greater Syracuse area. There is approximately one book for every 300 kids in poverty in America, according to the project’s website. The sorority adopted the project in 2004 nationally.

City unemployment sits at 9.8 percent

By Darian Herrington Contributing Writer

Syracuse’s unemployment rate is higher than the national and state average.

The United States Bureau of Labor Statistics officials said unemployment rates rose in 26 states

during the month of August, while 12 states recorded rate decreases and 12 others reported no change.

Lisa Boily, an economist with the Bureau of Labor Statistics, said there were 6,182 Syracuse residents unemployed during August, leading the city to a 9.8 unemployment

rate — significantly higher than the New York state, with a 7.7 rate.

The nation had an overall 9.1 unemployment rate as of late August, Boily said.

NY poverty level in 2010 higher than US average

By Christina Levin Staff Writer

An additional 68,000 New Yorkers fell into poverty in 2010, according to a Sept. 13 U.S. Census Bureau news release.

The Census Bureau, which summarized key findings for 2010 in the release, found 3.08 million people in New York state fell below the poverty line. This amounts to 16 percent of the state’s population, an increase from 15.8 percent in 2009.

The national poverty level in 2010 —

15.1 percent — was lower than New York’s, according to the release.

Dale Tussing, a Syracuse University professor of economics who specializes in poverty, said the main factor affecting the fluctuations in poverty rates is the overall economic climate.

“Poverty levels usually continue to rise in a recession, even after unemployment begins to fall,” Tussing said in an email. “Even when the recession is over and unemployment has fallen to prosperity lev-

els, poverty doesn’t usually fall for about two years.”

The State Department of Labor announced the unemployment level for Central New York a week after the Census Bureau numbers were released. The CNY unemployment level decreased to 7.4 percent in August, its lowest mark in three years.

Earlier this month, Syracuse University students and Americans across the nation recognized the loss of thousands of lives from the terrorist attacks on 9/11 ten years later.

For former U.S. Army Chaplain James “Yusuf” Yee, the 10-year anniversary marked not only a tragedy for the nation, but the revival of the American ideology called Islamophobia, or the sense of fear and hostility toward Muslims that leads to discrimination and racial profiling.

Yee spoke at the Life Sciences Complex on Thursday to a packed lecture hall after being invited by SU’s Muslim Students’ Association.

When Yee served as a chaplain to Muslims at Guantanamo Bay’s Camp Delta in late 2002 into 2003, he said his purpose at the terrorist prison was two-fold: to be a religious adviser to the camp’s command and to serve as a

“There were stories swirling around in the media that I was this ‘terrorist spy,’ that I was working for al-Qaeda and the Taliban as a spy for the prisoners.”

James “Yusef” Yee

chaplain to both American Muslims and Muslim prisoners.

During his 12-month term at Guantanamo Bay, Yee saw firsthand the type of neglect and exploitation Muslim prisoners received from American counterparts.

“I saw religion being used as a weapon,” Yee said. “Military guards would intentionally abuse the Quran in order to try and pressure these individuals in Guantanamo to give up some type of information, intelligence if they might have it.”

“They wanted to try and break these individuals from their core belief as Muslims,” he added.

Despite earning military recognition and high rankings for his religious efforts at Guantanamo Bay, Yee see yee page 6

the building he already owned, and the clientele had become so accustomed to the restaurant throughout the years.

Three weeks before King David’s reopened, Hatem, his family and a few longtime employees began hanging rugs on the walls, beads on the windows and ornate lamps from the ceilings in the space directly above Chipotle, where Unique Tea House used to be.

“We hope that people will realize that there are two great establishments to eat at under one roof,” Hatem said.

Business during the first week back has been a little slow, Hatem said, probably because they had a soft opening. Regulars are returning every day, though, as they notice the sign on the door and the large mural depicting dueling pharaohs painted on the side of the building, signaling a new presence upstairs, he said.

Hatem said he is considering holding a grand opening for King David’s some time this week or next, once word of the reopening has spread.

Now that the Marshall Street location has reopened, Autumn Szlamczynski, a nurse at Syracuse University’s Health Services, can pick up grape leaves, hummus and sweet potato fries.

Ever since she returned from a trip to Israel 15 years ago, the choices have been her favorite.

“It’s a little smaller, but it’s nice,” she said of the new location.

Szlamczynski got her King David’s fix at the restaurant’s Fayetteville location, owned by

The reason for the request stems from an extra point that gave Syracuse a 30-27 lead late in the fourth quarter during Saturday’s game in the Carrier Dome. Syracuse kicker Ross Krautman’s point after touchdown was reviewed by replay officials and deemed successful.

But the Big East issued a statement late Saturday night indicating the officials had made a mistake. The extra point was not good, meaning Syracuse’s lead at that point in the game should have been 29-27.

“After studying the videos of the Syracuse extra point attempt at 2:07 of the fourth quarter, we have concluded that the ruling on the field that the kick passed between the uprights was incorrect, and that the replay official made an error in failing to reverse that ruling,” said Terry McAulay, Big East conference coordinator of football officiating, in a statement. “In reviewing the video, we have determined that the angle from behind the kicking team shows conclusively that

Hatem’s brother, Nader, during the Marshall Street hiatus.

The brothers and their family worked together in Fayetteville for several months, so Hatem never missed a beat when it came to food.

The new dining area is significantly smaller, seating 36 customers, Hatem said. The downstairs location allowed for 100 patrons at once.

Hatem said he doesn’t mind much because they could barely fill 50 seats during dinner as business began to flounder last autumn.

Kitchen space is a bit tighter now, too.

“I’d much prefer a bigger place, just something I gotta get used to,” said Anthony Beebe, who has been working for Hatem for the past five years.

The new King David’s will be focusing on deliveries and to-go orders. They hope to be a part of Campusfood.com and the Off Campus Meal Plan again soon, Hatem said. A student-only coupon will also be distributed throughout campus.

Only a few items had to be removed from the menu due to space limitations and long cooking times. That includes regular customer David Lebowitz’s favorite, broccoli pie. But he quickly found a replacement in the new setting: spinach pie.

“The restaurant’s essentially the same — still delicious,” said Lebowitz, a Syracuse resident.

King David’s patrons are usually about 65 percent Syracuse area residents and 35 percent students, Hatem said. He is excited about the new location’s potential appeal to more students.

“We’re probably the only restaurant in the city that has a great view of campus,” said Hatem, pointing out to Crouse College and the Hall of Languages from the window. “It almost seems like you’re sitting outdoors, European style.”

the ball passes outside the right upright.

“Our review of the process determined that the replay official mistakenly focused his attention on the sideline angle, which proved to be distorted.

We are confident that our officiating staff will learn from this situation in order to prevent a reoccurrence.”

Toledo head coach Tim Beckman said in a press conference Sunday that he watched the film of the game on the team’s flight back to campus. It wasn’t until the early hours of Sunday morning — 2 a.m.

— that he decided to make the request to O’Brien.

“The game of football has numerous human errors throughout a game,” Beckman said in his press conference. “Players, coaches and officials are all part of these — that’s football. But when you add technology to a call, and it is not used properly, it is injustice.”

Beckman sent an email to Chuck Sullivan, Big East director of communications, asking what would be done about the situation. He read the text of the email aloud during his press conference: “This is an incorrect call, so what is getting done about it? Admitting is one thing, correcting it is another. I believe in the end of the regulation, the

CLOCKWISE FROM LEFT: King David’s is focusing efforts on to-go orders in the new space because the restaurant seating shrank from 100 to 36. The board in front of the counter shows menu items. The second-level space gives customers a campus view.

Gizelle Ortiz-Velazquez, an SU alumna who returns from Miami every few years, agreed with Hatem.

“At the end of the day, what I like is the quality food, and it’s as good as ever,” she said.

Velazquez, who had not been back since King David’s vacated its old location, said that it was as if the restaurant never left.

But Beebe, the employee, took up a job at Taco Bell in the Carousel Mall while the restaurant was closed. He said the chain’s food is not even

on the same level.

“I’m excited to be back, and I’m happy for Charlie,” Beebe said.

Most of the décor, food and staff that were at the old location have come back with King David’s. Hatem said he is even considering bringing back some old favorites.

Said Hatem: “We used to have belly dancers … maybe if I could get one or two in here, that’d be nice.”

score 30-29 is the right call.”

Beckman said he had not received a response from Sullivan at the time of his press conference Sunday.

A spokesman for the Big East said the league is standing by the statement it issued Saturday.

He also said he wasn’t sure the conference had the power to change the result of the game even if it wanted to change it.

O’Brien pointed out that his request to Steinbrecher “is most likely unprecedented.” But he stressed that this situation is one in which the school needs to back its football players, coaches and fans.

“I think it’s important we show our football team that we truly support them, that we show our football coach and his staff that we’re here to support them and tell our fan base that it wasn’t a situation where the University of Toledo just lays down,” O’Brien said in his press conference.

Multiple calls to the Syracuse athletic department and to the Mid-American Conference were not returned.

Beckman questioned why the NCAA can vacate wins from schools years after they take

place, but not the day after the game occurs.

“I’m just trying to do what’s fair for the Rocket football team,” Beckman said in his press conference. “… We’re stripping schools of national championships and wins that might have happened two years ago, maybe a year ago. I’m talking about one that happened yesterday. And it was the wrong call, and I’m just asking for justice and it being the right call.”

The spokesman for the Big East said that he thought once the referee declared the game final, that was the end of all discussion — regardless of whether or not an error was made.

But O’Brien said this situation cannot be viewed in the same manner as a missed holding call during the course of the game. He and Beckman view this situation as entirely different, and that is why they want the win vacated.

“When I left that stadium yesterday, I said, ‘This is different,’” O’Brien said in his press conference. “It’s clearly a missed call. It was admitted that it was a missed call, and thus the reaction from me this morning is that we asked that the win be vacated.”

GOP offers conflicting views on individuals’ rights to life

H

ow much control should the government have over an individual’s life — most of the Republican presidential nominees offer differing opinions.

On the surface, candidates Michelle Bachmann, Ron Paul, Rick Perry and Mitt Romney all believe in reducing the size of government. Government, in their opinions, should have less influence on individual freedom. But this attitude seems inconsistent when compared to their other beliefs. As a result, the major GOP candidates confuse voters who are paying attention to what they say.

All of the major candidates argue that the unborn have the same rights as everyone else. Mitt Romney, who once claimed that the government should not legislate abortion, now says he is firmly against abortion and would support nominating Supreme Court justices who share his view.

Romney says that he “believes in the sanctity of life, from very beginning until the very end.”

Romney, in 2002, advocated for a mandatory death penalty for convicted first-degree murderers in Massachusetts. Should Romney truly believe life is sacred from beginning to end, he would oppose capital punishment — regardless of how brutal the crime.

Ron Paul argues that “if you are going to protect liberty, you have to protect the life of the unborn just as well.” Paul opposes the death penalty. Michelle Bachmann has no definitive stance on the death penalty, but she agrees life is sacred from the beginning to end.

Paul and Bachmann continue to claim that government needs to have less of a role in people’s lives.

Giving the government the ability to rule over every pregnancy seems unfitting of a small government.

In a recent debate, Wolf Blitzer confronted Paul with a hypothetical situation — a man who was healthy but unable to afford health care.

The man suddenly needed intensive care but could only survive if the government assisted. When Blitzer asked if society should let the man die, several members of the crowd News Editor Editorial Editor Feature Editor Sports Editor Presentation Director Photo Editor Copy Chief Art Director Development Editor Special Projects Editor Asst.

to the left, to the left shouted “yeah.” Paul argued that the values of the country rest in individual liberty; the choice to buy health care was offered to the man.

Texas Gov. Rick Perry has stated that the unborn have a right to life and has advocated for a law that would require women who want abortions to view their fetus on a sonogram. But a crowd at a recent debate applauded Perry when it was stated that Perry had authorized 234 executions. Much like Romney, Perry also has a double standard on how much control government should exercise over individual life.

The conflicting viewpoints of candidates leave us with a few conclusions. The candidates have not figured out their own feelings on these matters, or they are trying to cater to voters’ inconsistent beliefs. Alternatively, voters may not yet realize their potential candidates’ inconsistencies.

Those who do not pay attention to these contradictions will end up with candidates who are more concerned with protecting the quality of life for the unborn than for providing adequate health care for those already living. President Barack Obama and the GOP candidates have not offered a concrete solution to fixing health care costs.

The GOP candidates have simply promised to strip the law of its effectiveness and ensure that an estimated 46 million Americans remain uninsured.

None of the candidates can be considered in favor of smaller government. More importantly, their self-professed adherence to smallgovernment principles do not place the public good over all else.

Alcohol education needs SU focus The effectiveness of AlcoholEdu, Syracuse University’s online alcohol education program, is unclear. Some students called the program useless and unpersuasive, though research reveals AlcoholEdu decreases dangerous and unhealthy drinking.

Whatever the case — effective or not — SU could certainly improve its alcohol education program by tailoring it to the university. More than 500 colleges implement AlcoholEdu. The program has to be broad to serve all these campuses. That broadness leaves out essential information specific to safety here on campus.

AlcoholEdu comes off as patronizing and juvenile. Some of the information seems cliché rather than genuinely helpful, and most mandatory high school health classes cover general information about drinking.

Scare tactics would certainly turn many students off. But rather than

editorial by the daily orange editorial board test students on how to calculate their blood alcohol content, SU should teach students the relevant phone numbers, consequences and laws specific to Syracuse. SU’s alcohol education program should cover exactly what students need to know in the cases of illegal or dangerous drinking: • Who they call if someone is dangerously drunk or illegally intoxicated and injured • The punishments for underage drinking and if there is medical amnesty • Syracuse laws against nuisance parties, open containers, and drinking and driving • Statistics about the number and frequency of citations at SU Students use or learn this informa-

tion every week and effective alcohol education should include them.

Several poignant examples of dangerous drinking have occurred on this campus, most involving car accidents like the student hit in fall 2008. Offering these examples, not to scare but to bring home the reality of dangerous drinking, would leave a lasting impression more than AlcoholEdu’s theoretical examples.

SU has a wealth of film students between the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications and the College of Visual and Performing Arts.

These students, in collaboration with the university, could easily put together an informational movie that makes better use of incoming students’ time.

An SU-specific video would present incoming students with soon-to-be familiar places, people and scenarios that leave them smarter and, perhaps, even appreciative.

said he became a victim of Islamophobia in 2003 as he was traveling home to visit his wife and child in Seattle before finishing his term at Camp Delta.

While at a stop at Jacksonville Naval Air Station, Yee said he was swarmed by security and intelligence officers, interrogated and secretly arrested and accused for taking classified documents from Guantanamo Bay. Yee spent 76 days at the Naval Consolidated Brig, a maximum-security prison for American enemy combatants.

“There were stories swirling around in the media that I was this ‘terrorist spy,’ that I was working for al-Qaeda and the Taliban as a spy for the prisoners,” Yee said.

— is large compared to the dwindling bluecollar category, which is why unemployment fell in Syracuse, Tussing said.

“What happened to unemployment in Syracuse is this: There was a surge of jobs in the service and professional category,” he said.

“But manufacturing employment and construction employment, which are the categories which have collapsed most nationwide, continued to fall in Syracuse, too. We are lucky that the white-collar category is pretty large here.”

Melanie Zilora, an SU alumna in a joint economics and public policy doctorate program at Carnegie Mellon University, said in an email that poverty and unemployment do not necessarily correlate, and unemployment is a tricky measure that may not reveal the total number

August, according to a Sept. 16 Associated Press article. Although New York may be leading the nation in loss of jobs, it could still have an average unemployment rate due to the immense size of the state and the amount of jobs that exist, Boily said.

“It would make sense for New York to lose a lot of jobs because there’s a lot of jobs in New York,” she said. “Montana wouldn’t lose that many jobs because there isn’t that many people there. You have more people, so you have more potential for a large number of losses.”

prisoners endure. Much like those prisoners, Yee was shackled “at the wrists, at the waist, at the ankles, in a suit of chains.”

Once Yee’s name was cleared of these allegations, he was released and reinstated as a military chaplain. He resigned and was honorably discharged from the military in 2003.

Although Yee is no longer a military member, the exploitation he witnessed and experienced as a Muslim continues to be a part of American society, he said.

Despite promises that Guantanamo Bay would close following President Barack Obama’s election, the prisons are open and continue to house Muslims that are arrested and accused of terrorist acts.

Yee said he was enthusiastic about Obama’s campaign “because he had the strongest position on Guantanamo and taking care of this human rights situation, but it has yet to be done.” Now, Yee said he is very

disappointed in how Obama has handled the Guantanamo situation.

Yee also described how Islamophobia has taken many forms in American government.

After a prominent imam was invited to give the opening invocation for a state legislature, a state representative left the meeting.

“The guy walked out because he said ‘Mohammed is not my God,’” said Yee, followed by a few chuckles from the audience.

“Well, Mohammed is not our God either … and this shows the ignorance, the lack of knowledge even our elected officials have about Islam.”

Despite the profiling Muslims have received since Sept. 11, Yee and other Muslims remain optimistic about the status of Islam religion in American society.

One way that Yee described as a means of eliminating Islamophobia is by sharing the ‘Muslim narrative,’ or as Yee said, by sharing stories of Muslims who also lost their

lives on 9/11. Yee said Muslims need to be proactive in the media and share the stories.

Ismail Pathan, vice president of SU’s Muslim Students’ Association and junior finance major, also said he feels that this message needs to be heard.

“Many people often don’t understand that Muslims are Americans, too, and any act against America is an act that is against them, too,” Pathan said.

Pathan said this is a time when Muslim Americans need to talk about their experiences, and Yee did that.

For Mushaf Haque, a freshman communications and rhetorical studies major, improving the image of Muslims in America starts at a personal level.

“I am a big believer in leading by example,” Haque said. “If my actions portray a positive image of Muslim peoples’ lives, then that is my main goal.”

Newhouse School of Public Communications, which are mainly designed to train students in film production.

The TRF major is specifically tailored toward students aiming to create content within the television, radio and film professions, whereas the new film and screen studies track is based on the critical studies of text, opening up a wider spectrum of disciplines, said Michael Schoonmaker, chairman of the television, radio and film department.

“This track clearly demonstrates the increasing importance of understanding media texts and their role in shaping meaning in the world

we live in,” Schoonmaker said. “It’s refreshing to see that screen media are at last receiving the kind of intellectual attention traditional printed literature texts have enjoyed.”

The English department consulted with VPA and Newhouse when deciding the curricula for the new tracks. Cross-department consultations occur frequently, as students are constantly taking classes in more than one school, Schoonmaker said.

“As some say it takes a village to raise a child, more than ever it takes a university — not just a school — to prepare a student for the amazingly complex world we live in,” Schoonmaker said.

Students have already started signing up for the new tracks already, said Hallas, director of undergraduate studies of SU’s English department.

But not all students are interested in making the switch.

Anna Hider, a sophomore television, radio and film major in Newhouse, said she will remain in the Newhouse program because of what the program offers.

She said: “Newhouse has a lot of alumni in the business, and they tell us you can do whatever you want with a Newhouse degree.”

Michael Wasylenko, senior associate dean of the Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs and professor of economics, noted that the poverty rate measures 2010 levels, while the unemployment figure refers to 2011. The statistics are for different time periods, and it is possible that the poverty rate has improved since then, he said in an email.

“But in general, the economic collapse we experienced in 2008 uncovered the severe unemployment problems we have masked for decades,” Wasylenko added. “Huge consumer debt made it possible to employ more people and keep poverty less visible.”

An effective method of boosting the employment rate is equipping more Americans with the skills — such as reading, writing and math — necessary to work in an increasingly complex job market, Wasylenko said.

“Our economy continues to demand more job skills from workers. This is not good news for many Americans,” he said. “And

our politics right now does not suggest that we are prepared to commit the resources to address job skills among those who have fallen behind.”

Tussing, professor of economics, said the main way to lower poverty levels is to increase the number of jobs, especially those that target people below the poverty mark.

“Many of us believe that we need to design employment policies that specifically target poor people. An example would be federal subsidies to businesses and state and local governments to hire poor people,” Tussing said.

“Such a program was very effective back in the Richard Nixon administration.”

Improving income safety nets to sustain people who are unemployed or who do not earn non-poverty salaries is also essential in alleviating poverty, he said. This includes improving health care and income support programs for the poor.

“Our economy continues to demand more job skills from workers.

This is not good news for many Americans.”

of people who do not have jobs or are in poverty.

“Unemployment is the count of people who are considered in the labor force (not retired, not on disability, not in prison and not in school) who are actively seeking a job and have not been able to find one,” Zilora said. “This doesn’t include people who have given up looking for a job, and while it’s a generally accurate picture of the local economic climate, it’s not a direct indicator.”

Dutkowsky encourages seniors to visit Career Services and utilize its resources.

“Go to planning and placement, see what you can do career-wise with your major,” he said.

“Get your resume together and let them help you market your major skill so you can see what you can do with it.”

Dutkowsky said the unemployment rate for college graduates is around 4 percent, which is about half of the nation’s total rate.

“It’s an uphill battle and those with the best GPAs will typically do better. There are always some majors that are more attractive than others,” he said. “There are jobs out there.

College graduates have a huge advantage over non-college graduates. Market yourself the best you can and go out and look.”

The economy is struggling, but there are more opportunities for college graduates right now, Dutkowsky said. Graduates just have to look harder, market themselves smarter and show what they’ve mastered in school through

their GPA, he said.

“It’s a slow economy, and it’s been a slow economy for years,” Dutkowsky said. “You have to take your opportunities when you can get them.” ddherrin@syr.edu

Attendees at the SUNY-ESF Alumni and Family Fall BBQ form the number 350 Saturday, signifying the upper safety limit level of carbon dioxide concentration in parts per million.

M

ore than 100 people gathered for the SUNY-ESF Alumni and Family Fall Barbecue on Saturday afternoon to join the Moving Planet global initia-

tive.

Attendees stood in the formation of the number 350 on the college’s Quad. The human 350 figure was created to send a message demanding action against the increasing levels of carbon dioxide concentration in the atmosphere.

Moving Planet’s goal is to raise awareness about climate change and demand political and community leaders all over the world to make larger efforts and investments in renewable energy forms, said Samuel Gordon, Central New York Energy Smart communications coordinator. State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry and CNY Energy Smart made sure Syracuse was part of this international movement, he said.

Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas that occurs naturally in the atmosphere. But human activity — especially the use of fossil fuels — has caused the levels of the gas to quickly rise. These emissions are partly responsible for the increasing temperatures the planet has experienced during the past

Campus joins together to demand action against carbon dioxide concentrations

few years, according to the Moving Planet website.

Specialists recommend 350 parts per million as the upper safety limit level of carbon dioxide concentration in the atmosphere, according to the website. Levels have escalated without decline since 1988. Gordon said the 350 human figure was a way to send a message to political and community leaders that people are concerned about climate change.

Cornelius Murphy, president of ESF, emphasized the importance of demanding local and national government for a shift toward a sustainable economy.

“There is a perception that climate change and taking action against it carries a significant cost. Therefore, there seems to be a push back in the investment on that area, but the reality is that it is fundamentally a national security issue,” Murphy said. “We can do this and we must do this.”

Andrew Maxwell, director of the city Syracuse’s Bureau of Planning and Sustainability, talked about the efforts their offices are making to reduce global warming.

Maxwell said his department is developing a sustainability plan for Syracuse that will help it do their part for the city.

Kaley Freund, a senior conservation biology major, said she thinks steps taken by the local government are just the starting point for all the work that needs to be done.

“I think there is definitely a big want for (sustainabil-

ity), but I don’t think we’ve done that much so far,” she said.

“We’re just starting to set things in motion now.”

Gordon closed the event by asking all of those present to take a pledge encouraging people to take simple actions at home to reduce their individual energy consumption.

Changing light bulbs for energy efficient ones, cleaning the home’s air filter more often and turning off the lights when unneeded would make a difference, he said.

Patrick Carroll, a senior environmental studies major, took the pledge and was helping to get others to sign.

“As a student at ESF I understand the imperative of solving climate change and increasing our awareness of this at the local, state and national levels,” Carroll said. “So when I heard about Moving Planet Day, I was very interested to try to help bring this awareness to fruition.”

Murphy said ESF has already started taking action toward increased sustainability. The school hopes to be carbon neutral by 2015 with the installation of renewable energy sources on campus.

Said Murphy: “I think it’s fantastic that the community would come to our campus and celebrate with us both the need to move forward and the fact that we can actually turn this picture around and start changing things.” vymagan@syr.edu

Dinners showcase culture

Through technology, students share poetry

By AJ Allen

contributing writer

The lights were low and the ambient sounds included snaps, typing keyboards and microphone feedback. A shirt reading “Poet” faced a crowd of students halfway across the country.

On Sept. 22, Imagining America, a nationwide program which supports the arts and humanities in colleges and universities, Syracuse University’s Verbal Blend and the University of Minnesota’s Voices Merging teamed up for the second year of “Ayo Technology.” Students from both schools used Skype to exhibit their spoken word poetry skills.

Six cameras and three screens were set up in the Stolkin Auditorium in the Physics Building. The center screen displayed a constant stream of Twitter users using the hashtag #ayotechnology. Attendees tweeted comments such as “E.P. just let it flow with her passion” and “everyone is doing very well.”

The audience, who filled about seven rows of the auditorium’s seats, was captivated as Syracuse poets Flosie, Huey Calhoun, Kyzr Sozey, Logik, Rae Sunshine, Crissey Chris, E.P., Dijah Pickle and Janel Sullivan graced the stage with poems.

Stories of love lost, race in Amer-

ica, religion and family were openly shared and streamed across the Internet. Attendees slipped in and out of the auditorium as they saw fit, excusing themselves from perfor-

“I express my truth through poetry and that is what sustains me.”

mances they didn’t completely enjoy.

One performer from U of M was not well received by the SU audience.

His deep southern accent amused the SU crowd so much that they began laughing during his performance.

On the contrary, Huey Calhoun completely engaged the crowd. His poem explored the struggles of the British revolutionaries who established this country and the woes of African-Americans in the 21st century. After numerous interruptions in the form of snaps and claps as he was performing, the poet received a standing ovation from both the SU crowd and the crowd at U of M.

kristen parker | staff photographer Verbal blend, Syracuse University’s spoken-word program, hosted “Ayo Technology” with the University of Minnesota. Student poets recited poems and discussed their passion for performing.

The open mic performance progressed with minimal technical difficulties on SU’s end. U of M was not as fortunate. Voices Merging had to

hang up their Skype call and call back due to a poor connection that resulted in a frozen stream. see ayo page 11

The brothers of Phi Iota Alpha made sure everyone inside Ernie Davis Dining Center felt the zest of the Latino culture. The instantly recognizable beats of reggaeton emanated from the building, beckoning passers-by to enter through the doorway, appropriately emblazoned with a poster reading “Hola.”

On the lower level of the dining hall, boldly placed in front of the wall of windows, Phi Iota brothers danced, masterfully displaying the hip-swaying mandatory for the genre, and at times pulled unsuspecting diners to join them. Those who felt confident enough to step up to the dance floor to join were welcomed with cheers of encouragement, a testament to an atmosphere akin to that of an intimate family gathering. The music acted as the backbone to the night, a constant metronome that unceasingly propelled the tempo forward and kept the mood light, yet enticing. One of the diners observing the festivities was Brittney Rutigliano, a sophomore selective studies major whose family hails from Puerto Rico. She gave Phi Iota Alpha’s efforts her seal of approval.

“I feel like I’m back at home, my mom always plays this kind of music,” she said.

Throughout the past week, Syracuse University was exposed to the snappy sights and sounds of South and Central Americas as Phi Ota Alpha, a Latino-based fraternity on campus, organized six culturally inspired dinners. The events were held in all dining halls, complete with festive music and decorations.

Brockway, Graham, Shaw, Sadler and Ernie Davis dining centers collaborated with Phi Iota Alpha to present these fall fiestas on Sept. 13, 14, 15, 21 and 22, respectively, with the addition of one in Goldstein Auditorium on Sept. 20.

The dinners were dubbed Sazón Phi Iota, a play off of Sazón Goya, a blend of seasoning that claims to hold the secrets of creating authentic Latino cuisine. They aimed to put the spotlight on Latino culture during Latino Heritage Month, which began Sept. 15.

Beware of taking naked photos; they may land in wrong hands

I

n this age of technology, there is not much privacy left. So if you’re going to take a nude photo of yourself, it doesn’t matter if you’re an A-lister or a nobody — it can spread like wildfire.

More than 50 other celebs, including Jessica Alba and Vanessa Hudgens, have had nude photos leaked online to sites like PerezHilton.com and TMZ.com. Scarlett Johansson is the latest celebrity victim and has reached out to the FBI for help, according to a Sept. 14 Fox News online article.

Someone allegedly hacked into Johansson’s cellphone and is now circulating naked photos of her for anyone and everyone to see.

However, stars aren’t the only ones getting in trouble for nude pictures. According to a Sept. 7 Arizona Daily Wildcat article at the University of Arizona, one out of five teens and college-aged people are taking semi-nude or nude photos of themselves and transmitting them using mobile phones or the Internet. Just because you send a sexy pic to your boyfriend doesn’t mean his eyes are going to be the only ones to see it. In today’s world where anything and everything can be instantly uploaded to Facebook, it’s an especially bad idea to take or send sordid photos. You never know who will get your pictures.

According to a Sept. 2 CNN online article, in 2010 a man was sentenced to six years in prison for hacking into dozens of computers, stealing

Real clients.

Unreal exposure.

JESSICA WIGGS

i believe in pink personal information and demanding naked images from female victims in exchange for not releasing the stolen information. Now it’s not only possible for your vengeful ex to spread nude photos but for hackers to do it, too. Yet again affirming that you never know whose eyes will see it.

Nude photos are not only a liability for celebs, but also for everyday people. It doesn’t matter how much you trust your boyfriend or girlfriend not to share a photo of you, it’s still a bad idea. It can easily end up somewhere or with someone you didn’t intend to have it.

As they say, abstinence is key. The only way to guarantee that pictures of your semi or entirely naked body aren’t used as blackmail or seen by any unwanted viewers? Don’t take any in the first place.

computer engineering major and member of the fraternity, said the event originated as a dance workshop circa 1996 when a brother wanted to expand the Hispanic culture at Syracuse University, and it continued to blossom, becoming an annual fixture at SU.

“The reason we do events like this is that they bring people together.

We may have different roots, but in reality, we’re all not that different.”

Jairo Sanchez-Chavez

brother of phi iota alpha

“In the past, the brothers cooked all of the food,” Sanchez-Chavez said. “But the dining halls eventually offered to help because the events were gaining so much popularity.”

Phi Iota Alpha may not prepare the food, but it still plays a pivotal role in the planning.

Members of the fraternity, and notably the executive board on which Sanchez-Chavez serves as secretary, booked the dining halls, provided the music and sound equipment, and brought the flags of various Hispanic countries that served as a fitting back drop.

Sanchez-Chavez and his brothers in Phi Iota Alpha, whose mission is the empowerment of the Latino community through intensive social and cultural programs, sought to offer a taste of a different culture in an

entertaining environment.

“Our goal for these dinners was to introduce a new culture that not many people are exposed to so that they can be a part of it and enjoy it,” he said. “We want to give them another reason to appreciate diversity and, of course, we want them to dance and have a good time.”

Students piled their plates with items from an expansive spread of Hispanic and Latino dishes, a zesty divulge from the predictable dining hall menu. Each buffet station sizzled with a distinct selection of the mouth-watering staples of the culture, including paella, tacos, chicken, beef and vegetarian fajitas, Mexican rice, Latino chicken and plantains.

The aspirations of Phi Iota Alpha to emphasize diversity complement the overarching aim of SU to do the same. Courses ranging from Jewish to Middle Eastern studies are readily available to students, and according to the Office of Institutional Research and Assessment, minorities represent 23 percent of the student population and 124 countries are represented on campus, making SU a cornucopia of culture.

“I felt like I grew up in a bubble,” Rutigliano said. “It’s great to see so much diversity and be educated with so many cultures at SU.” The Latino Nights certainly bring cultural differences to the forefront, and although Sanchez-Chavez and his brothers in Phi Iota Alpha are eager to promote them and unite the Latino population on campus, their intentions are not solely limited to achieving these Pan-American ideals.

“The reason we do events like this is that they bring people together,” Sanchez-Chavez said. “We may have different roots, but in reality, we’re all not that different.” admuller@syr.edu

After several poets read, Janel Sullivan, a senior in the College of Arts and Sciences and the master of ceremonies for the event, facilitated a brief discussion between the poets about the motivation behind their poems. One of the questions that the participants were asked was, “Why do you write poetry?”

One poet responded: “I write to perform.”

Another answered: “I write because it feels good.”

The program concluded with a poem by Sullivan.

“What sustains us?” was the theme of this year’s event. Sullivan believes that it is the very art that the poets produce that sustains them.

“Art reflects and impacts society so heavily,” she said. “I believe that art is the only place where truth really exists. I express my truth through poetry and that is what sustains me.”

The founder of Voices Merging and Verbal Blend is Cedric Bolton, coordinator of student engagement in the Office of Multicultural Affairs at SU. Bolton co-founded Verbal Blend in 2007 and co-founded Voices Merging in 2002.

Voices Merging started with only a few poets. Tierra Howard, president of Voices Merging, said the program began with about six to seven students hosting open mics around U of M’s campus.

About five years later, Verbal Blend was established on the SU campus.

“When Verbal Blend started, it provided a space for multicultural students to discover voice and express themselves through poetry,” Sullivan said.

When the two programs came together for Ayo Technology they had a common vision.

Howard said she found the use of technology to be beneficial.

“If I were to sit and read someone from Syracuse’s poetry, I might get something from it. But when I can see them or hear them perform it,” Howard said, “there is a bigger and stronger connection between me and their voice. I can just relate more to what they are saying.” ajallen@syr.edu

WHAT IS VERBAL BLEND?

Founded by Cedric Bolton, coordinator of student engagement at Syracuse University, Verbal Blend is the university’s spoken-word program. It offers a mentoring environment for a group of 20-25 young poets who write and perform spoken word, a form of artistic expression in which the poems are spoken.

They meet for weekly workshops to improve their writing skills, share their poems and get feedback from their peers. The program aims to build students’ confidence in writing and publicly performing their poetry.

Throughout the semester, the poets have the opportunity to perform their poems at public venues through various events. In the “Take the Mic” poetry slams, contestants recite original poems for up to three minutes in front of a panel of judges. Another event, “Get on the Bus for Poetry,” places the poets on buses. They hop on board and navigate the Connective Corridor, sharing their poems with bus riders. Events like these give the students experience in performing onstage as well as at more unconventional venues.

foreign accents

dailyorange.com

It’s no hidden secret that the melodic ring of a foreign accent is a sure way to grab someone’s attention. I have witnessed, on more than one occasion, some regular-Joe don a fake accent to tickle the earlobes of an unsuspecting female.

And if they’re convincing enough, it usually works.

Though such trickery warrants an eye roll, it simply is the truth: There’s a certain charm in hearing someone speak your language in a unique way.

Even hearing the unusual and various different phrases, inflections and intonations of English-speaking nationalities are enough to make you melt. Sometimes, embarrassingly enough, you become so wrapped up in their way of speaking that you find yourself starting to make astute criticisms in a slightly British tone, ordering your drink in a thick Irish brogue and complaining about the service in a proper Scottish tone. Then your order of shrimp on the barbie arrives and you mellow out in a perfect Australian accent.

Then there are those accents that really catch your attention because you don’t necessarily hear them every day. The perfect blend of French and Haiti’s native Creole accents is irresistibly relaxing. The elongated but flat sounding vowels and harsh consonants of South African accents are fascinating. And the precise pronunciation of every syllable in a Slovenian accent makes you reconsider what syllables you should emphasize.

And don’t even get me started on the dreamy languages: Parlez-vous français? If only. Parlate italiano? No, but please continue. Habla español? Marry me.

Compared to the blunt, choppy pronunciation of English, it’s clear why these languages that seamlessly flow off the tongue are dubbed “romantic.”

But it would be silly for you to look past what’s in your own backyard. Sure, it’s nice to experience the thousands of different languages spoken around the world, but have you ever heard a Southern drawl? What about a Midwestern twang? And you can spend a whole day just sorting through the different slang terms and phrases from each coast.

Our world is getting smaller and smaller every day, and with that our exposure to different types of people, cultures and, more importantly, different accents has become much easier to come by. So go out of your way to listen to people with accents. Chances are they not only speak in a way that intrigues you, but they can also provide perspective and insights that are unique from your own.

Either way, they’ll be interesting to talk to.

Sub-par S

“SUBURGATORY”

New show ‘Suburgatory’ recycles tired plot line, relies on suburban stereotypes

By Jeff Wucher STAFF WRITER

eemingly ignorant of the world just outside their bubbles, the citizens of Suburbia live in rows of identical houses. Everyone puts on a façade of normality. Nobody ever leaves their houses except to explore the area’s only two cultural staples: the country club and the mall. Excuse me, this is not what it’s like at all. Somebody better tell the creators of “Suburgatory” that before the next episode airs.

Granted, the show is a satire, which gives it some more creative freedom to lampoon everyday cultural generalizations. However, it’s coming a little late to the game. The seven-season spanning “Desperate Housewives,” also on ABC, is the best modern satire of suburban life. The high school caste system was expertly portrayed in 2004’s “Mean Girls.” That means “Suburgatory” better bring something new to the table.

Instead, the creators rip a page out of the “Mean Girls” playbook by following a high school-aged, redheaded protagonist who moved to the suburbs from a very different location and has to hang around a blonde, “plastic” girl and her airheaded, enabling mom. That seems eerily familiar. Also, actress Ana Gasteyer is in both “Mean Girls” and “Suburgatory,” making it even harder to differentiate the two plots. But it’s never a bad move to try and steal a portion of a very successful product’s audience.

Unfortunately, “Suburgatory” just doesn’t have any real sting in its sum up of the ‘burbs. To set up the premise, Tessa, our 16-year-old protagonist and the show’s narrator, moves against her will from the city to the show’s titular hell after her single father finds an unopened box of condoms in her drawer and decides suburbia would be a much better place to raise a kid.

Of course, he is wrong, at least in Tessa’s opinion. It’s fair to have a character be upset about change, but Tessa comes off as downright hostile with her snarky comments on everything, making her extremely unlikeable.

The other characters are so flat they are almost not even worth talking about.

The father is very nice. The neighbors are naïve and ignorant. The other high school girls are sluts. And the world goes around. The show wastes the talents of two top-notch comediennes, Cheryl Hines and Ana Gasteyer, on these less-thanhumorous bits.

In fact, most of the show’s “jokes” feel like observational comedy without a punch line. A few of Tessa’s super snarky observations: Everyone drinks sugar-free Red Bull, everyone is driven to the mall by their parents, everyone is scantily clad in skimpy clothing and every girl gets a nose job. Notice the use of the word “everyone.” These are broad generalizations, which target the central thesis of the show as being “everyone in the suburbs is really superficial and fake.”

And that’s it. The pilot is nothing but bit after bit revolving around that very idea. There’s no plot or arc to grab interest and no sentimental lesson to learn at the end. It’s just 30 minutes of jokes about how weird the suburbs are. We already know that, so why should we even be watching? jswucher@syr.edu

DRILL UP

Antwon Bailey

After rushing for less than 50 yards in two straight games, Bailey found his groove and went for 114 yards and a touchdown. He carried the ball a careerhigh 28 times to lead SU’s run-heavy attack against the Rockets.

Cameron Lynch

Lynch was a spark for the Syracuse defense as a backup linebacker against the Rockets. The freshman contributed eight tackles and came in untouched to record his first-career sack against Toledo quarterback Austin Dantin. While he hasn’t started a game, Lynch is tied for fifth on SU with 22 tackles.

Ross Krautman

Krautman was perfect on his four field goal attempts, helping Syracuse keep pace with Toledo in another high-scoring affair. He nailed the game-winning kick from 27 yards out in overtime.

DOWN

TOLEDO FROM PAGE 20

the SU defense was torched, the interception

by Scott provided 39,116 fans inside the Carrier Dome with an ironic twist to end the game. The unit that was paraded up and down the field by Dantin and wide receiver Eric Page made the game’s biggest play in overtime to seal a win for the Orange.

With the win, SU begins the season 3-1 for the second straight year under head coach Doug Marrone.

From the opening drive, Toledo’s (1-3, 0-0 Mid-American Conference) offense toyed with Syracuse. Dantin orchestrated a 22-play, 75-yard marathon series that took more than 10 minutes off the clock and resulted in a field goal for the Rockets.

With just one play in excess of 9 yards on the drive, Toledo dinked and dunked its way downfield in whatever way it desired. Dantin rushed for 26 yards, Page caught three passes and running back David Fluellen racked up 27 total yards.

“After being on the field for a long drive, you know a long series, coach (Marrone) preached to us about getting three-and-outs and getting off the field,” freshman linebacker Dyshawn Davis said. “Toledo did a good job of converting on third downs, getting first downs.”

SPORTS@ DA ILYOR A NGE.COM

Though the Rockets never compiled a drive of more than 10 plays during the rest of the game, their ability to frustrate Syracuse through precise offensive execution continued. By the time regulation ended, Toledo’s offense ran up 438 yards just one week after Southern California churned out 501 yards.

And as USC did with wide receiver Robert Woods, Toledo forced the ball into the hands of its playmaker — Page. The junior wide receiver fi nished with 14 receptions for 168 yards. SU’s top three receivers (Nick Provo, Van Chew and Jarrod West) combined for 149 yards.

“He’s a good ball player, and he presents a tough matchup for us all,” Scott said. “Kind of like USC did with Woods, they kind of put him in different positions to get him the ball. Their offensive scheme is schemed around him.”

Toledo’s use of bubble screens to either side of the offense created space for Page to showcase his ability the open field, SU safety Phillip Thomas said. Unlike Givens, who burned Syracuse on long passes, Page had only one reception longer than 27 yards.

He took advantage of the flanks for chunks of 7, 8 and 9 yards at a time. He caught at least one pass on eight of Toledo’s 12 possessions in regulation.

“I don’t think you can ever stop a player like Page,” Marrone said. “He’s a talented kid.”

Though the Orange couldn’t contain Page from a production standpoint, it did keep him out of the end zone. All season long Marrone has been proud of his team’s red zone defense and preventing touchdowns deep in his own territory.

Saturday was no different. Three-hundred passing yards by Dantin and fellow quarterback Terrance Owens were impressive until it came time to punch the ball in for touchdowns. The SU defense allowed only one touchdown in three red zone trips by the Rockets, including a crucial stop late in the game.

Dantin drove his team down to the 9-yard line with time dwindling in regulation. Toledo had fi rst-and-goal but failed to advance past the 3 and settled for a field goal to force overtime.

“We would have liked to have ended the game in regulation and stopped them,” Scott said.

“But at the end of the day, it didn’t happen.”

Given another chance in overtime, though, the defense redeemed itself. The 60 minutes of abuse the unit suffered meant nothing once Scott came down with his interception.

Its resiliency won out.

“It feels real good because we felt like we let people down,” Thomas said. “So coming out with that big stop, Kevyn Scott with that big stop, it felt real good knowing we gave the offense a chance to get the victory.”

As a sports fan — regardless of whether you are loyal to the Orange, Demon Deacons, Rams, Rockets or the game of football in general — how can you ask for more?

“It was almost too exciting,” SU wide receiver Dorian Graham said following the win over Toledo.

Maybe Graham is onto something. Perhaps high-scoring overtime thrillers with dazzling plays by Van Chew, Chris Givens, Eric Page and Ryan Nassib aren’t enough to make the Syracuse community interested in coming out to watch a game.

Or perhaps Syracuse fans are tempted, but somewhere between putting on their shoes and inserting the key into the ignition, they realize they’ve forgotten to complete their most important daily ritual. And by the time they’ve drawn the big red ‘X’ on their calendars to indicate that basketball season is one day closer, they’ve lost interest.

“That’s all I’m looking forward to, getting this Syracuse fan base back together and bringing this program back together,” Davis said.

Davis’ goal is certainly a good one, but I still want to make myself clear. My goal isn’t to vivify people in the Syracuse area regarding New York’s college team specifically.

What I’m saying is that if East Carolina — a team that entered the weekend winless and has applied to join the Big East — can bring in 50,023 fans for its game Saturday against Ala-

bama at Birmingham (UAB), there’s something seriously wrong with SU’s poor attendance.

Any fan of college football should be excited to go to the Carrier Dome — a venue that has the potential to be an incredibly hostile environment — and watch a 3-1 college football team open Big East play next weekend against Rutgers.

“I appreciate the fans, they helped us win this game at the end,” SU head coach Doug Marrone said following the season opener against Wake Forest. “And if you wound up leaving, you missed a great game.”

There, that’s all the proof you need. Marrone didn’t explicitly say a true Orange fan stays until the end. He didn’t clobber the Syracuse faithful for leaving with their team down by 15 in the fourth quarter to the Demon Deacons.

He made it simple: You missed a great game.

I can only hope Davis is right and that fans of college football realize what they aren’t seeing.

The first three home games have been nothing short of scintillating, especially given last year’s 17- and 31-point lopsided losses to Connecticut and Pittsburgh.

Saturday, Antwon Bailey said close games in the Carrier Dome are “amazing.”

It’s just too bad not many care to see them.

Defensive containment

Austin Dantin ran wild on the SU defense. He was second on Toledo with 50 yards rushing, but it’s the amount of attempts — 15 — and the amount of times he threw on the run that show how poor SU was at keeping the Toledo quarterback in the pocket. Too many times, Dantin was able to extend a play by running around the Orange pass rush to make something out of nothing.

Trick plays

Alec Lemon to Van Chew worked last week against Southern California for six.

But when the roles were reversed and Chew received a handoff in the backfield on a reverse, his pass downfield nearly led to disaster. Chew was looking for Lemon the whole way in the end zone, but he lofted a pass into double coverage that Lemon knocked away from Toledo cornerback Keith Suggs.

TURNING POINT

OT First play

Syracuse cornerback Kevyn Scott cut in front of Toledo wide receiver Bernard Reedy to intercept Austin Dantin’s pass attempt in the right side of the end zone on the first play of overtime. Scott’s interception set up kicker Ross Krautman’s game-winning 27-yard field goal on SU’s offensive series.

THEY SAID IT “It feels real good because we felt like we let people down.

So coming out with that big stop, Kevyn Scott with that big stop, it felt real good knowing we gave the offense a chance to get the victory.”

Embarrassing, pathetic, shameful — whatever word you want to use is fine with me. Monster Jam — yes, that Monster Jam featuring monster trucks — drew a crowd of more than 35,000 people into the Dome.

It just seems silly that a football program on the rise, coming off a bowl victory and with a winning record in 2011, struggles to be more attractive than Grave Digger.

“As long as we keep winning, hopefully more fans will come in,” Davis said.

Good luck, Dyshawn. I’m not sure what else you and your teammates can do.

Start the season with a win at home: check.

Prove it isn’t a fluke by winning your second game: check. Continue winning at home and open the year 3-0 in the Carrier Dome for the first time since 2001: check.

Ah, but maybe the games weren’t exciting enough for fans. Maybe Syracuse was hohumming its way to 12-3 victories dominated by placekickers with little offensive flair or sex appeal.

Nope, wrong. In three games at the Dome this season, the Orange has come back from 10- and 15-point deficits to win in overtime and avoided an upset bid by intercepting a Hail Mary attempt in the fourth quarter.

BCS CONTENDER OR BIG EAST BOTTOM-FEEDER? BIG NUMBER

The number of carries split between Syracuse running backs Antwon Bailey and Prince-Tyson Gulley on Saturday. The Orange returned to its emphasis on the running game, throwing just 25 passes. SU had 27 more passing attempts than rushing attempts going into the Toledo game.

Though Syracuse’s 33-30 overtime win against Toledo was certainly controversial, no one can deny that SU sits 3-1 after the first month of the season.

Toledo was a good team, and the win over the Rockets will certainly boost SU’s resume.

West makes first career catch to set up key SU touchdown

By Mark Cooper Asst. Sports Editor

Jarrod West’s first catch for Syracuse was a long time coming.

The sophomore wide receiver missed all of last season with a foot injury. He was one of the standouts in preseason camp in August, but he was not targeted much in the Orange’s first three games.

So when he finally made that first catch — on a slant route that he turned upfield for a 39-yard gain — a towering weight came off his shoulders.

“I was trying to get my first one out of the way, and I finally got put in the right position where I was open and (Ryan) Nassib found me with a great ball,” West said.

West led Syracuse in receiving yards on Saturday, catching two balls for 56 yards in the Orange’s 33-30 overtime victory against Toledo.

SU quarterback Ryan Nassib spread the ball around, completing 16 passes to nine different receivers. And West was one of the biggest beneficiaries with two receptions in key moments of the game.

After Toledo took a 20-13 lead in the third quarter, Syracuse needed to counter. Facing a thirdand-11, Nassib hit West on a slant moving left across the middle. West was given a cushion by

Rockets safety Jermaine Robinson, and he used it to make a cut and turn up the right sideline.

One play later, Antwon Bailey was in the end zone with a 20-yard touchdown run to tie the score.

West’s second catch was almost as vital as his first. Down 27-23 in the fourth quarter and facing third-and-9, Nassib stepped up in the pocket and delivered a strike to West, who found an open pocket in the middle for a 17-yard catch that led to a go-ahead score.

“He was able to come up and make some big third-down catches, and it’s been a long time waiting, but we’re excited about it,” Nassib said.

Spruill banged up, doesn’t start The natural center of the Syracuse defense was absent to start Saturday’s game. Middle linebacker Marquis Spruill was not on the field when the Orange defense took the field on Toledo’s opening drive.

His backup, Siriki Diabate, was in his place.

Spruill did see the field against Toledo in limited snaps, but it was still a surprise to see the Orange’s most experienced linebacker on the sidelines most of the game.

“Marquis was struggling during the week, getting a couple of reps here and there,” SU head

coach Doug Marrone said. “He defended a pass out there, and Siriki went in there and started.

At the end of the day it’s going to help us, playing those kids.”

Diabate joined normal starters Dyshawn Davis and Dan Vaughan in the linebacking corps on the opening drive. Spruill did see a couple plays early and more time later in the game, but he watched from the sidelines for most of the game.

Syracuse gave six linebackers ample playing time against the Rockets. Walk-on backup Dom Anene spent much of the game lined up against Toledo star wide receiver Eric Page, who caught 14 passes for 168 yards. Freshman Cameron Lynch was second on SU in tackles with eight and recorded the first sack of his career.

And Spruill still made two tackles in his limited time.

“It was really hard because I am used to going out there with my boys, but I had to sit back this one for a little bit,” Spruill said. “It didn’t really affect my play, though, because at the end of the day, when he puts you in there, you’ve still got to go in and make plays, and that’s what I did.”

Toledo’s Marrow taken off field on stretcher The Carrier Dome went silent in the third quarter on Saturday, when Toledo cornerback Desmond Marrow lay motionless on the field following a helmet-to-helmet collision with Syracuse running back Antwon Bailey.

Bailey took a toss right on a third-and-8 play, and as Marrow went in to make a hit on Bailey, their helmets collided. Marrow spun around nearly 360 degrees before landing on his stomach.

Fortunately, Marrow’s MRI and CT scan were negative, Toledo head coach Tim Beckman said.

“He was talking when I was out there on the field, so he felt like he was OK,” Beckman said.

“He was moving his hands and legs. The lack of movement had more to do with the concussion than anything else.”

Trainers surrounded Marrow for a few minutes on the field before he was taken away on a stretcher. He gave the crowd a thumbs up as he was wheeled off, getting a standing ovation from the Carrier Dome crowd.

Beckman said Marrow had full movement and will recover. He traveled back to Toledo, Ohio, with the rest of the Rockets on the team’s charter flight, according to the Toledo Athletics website. mcooperj@syr.edu

going and that’s what we did.”

Starting running back Antwon Bailey burst out with 114 yards and a score, and Gulley contributed 66 yards on 10 carries as the Orange running game put forth its best performance of the season in a 33-30 overtime win over Toledo.

The SU running backs ran for 180 yards on 38 carries, demoralizing and tiring the Rockets defense as the game continued. The Orange got back to an offensive game plan that stressed ground-and-pound, handing the ball to Bailey and Gulley 38 times combined while throwing just 25 passes.

And it was just what SU needed following back-to-back games in which Syracuse couldn’t rush for 100 yards as a team.

“All week, the emphasis was we’re going to the run the ball on this team,” Bailey said. “No matter what look they give us, no matter how many is in the box, we’re going to run it.”

Bailey had yet to show he was acclimated to his starting running back role before Saturday.

Taking out a 53-yard touchdown run in SU’s season opener against Wake Forest, the senior had averaged 3.1 yards per carry on his other runs prior to Toledo.

But against a Toledo defense that ran a similar 4-4 scheme to the Rhode Island defense that shut him down two weeks ago, he found holes.

None bigger than the gap he used to break through the right side of the Rockets defense and into the end zone from 20 yards out in the third quarter to tie the game at 20-20.

It was also the first time Bailey reached the end zone since the season opener.

“It’s just so great when as a coach you can get in front of the team, you can challenge them, you can get them fired up for it, and they come out and we run the ball,” Hackett said. “There was nothing more that you could have asked of those guys.”

Unlike the first three games, in which Bailey received 84 percent of the carries given to tailbacks, the Orange used a heavier dose of Gulley on Saturday.

Bailey still reached a career-high with 28 carries as an execution of the game plan, but

dave trotman-wilkins | staff photographer prince-tyson gulley (23) stiff arms a Toledo defender during Syracuse’s 33-30 overtime victory Saturday. Gulley recorded season-highs of 10 carries and 66 yards, spelling starting running back Antwon Bailey, who rushed the ball 28 times for 114 yards.

Gulley’s 10 carries were more than his season total (eight) entering the game.

Gulley’s second touch came on the drive after his first, and the results were prosperous for SU once again. He went up the middle this time, dodging a tackler and gaining 11 yards.

He stampeded for 47 yards on five carries in the second quarter alone.

“I’m real hungry,” Gulley said. “I want to play, so every chance I get I just got to make something happen, and that’s exactly what I was

trying to do.”

Hackett said there was screaming and yelling of “Let’s run the ball!” in the halftime locker room as the entire offense absorbed Gulley’s ravenous approach in private.

Bailey busted out after halftime, running for 83 yards in the second half and overtime.

SU utilized Bailey’s quickness on a toss play on one third down, scooting for eight yards as the offensive line contained the Rockets’ interior.

Though the Orange struggled on third down

the past couple of weeks, Bailey and Gulley converted a combined four times on third downs on Saturday.

For the first time all season, Syracuse had two running backs it could depend on. And for Bailey, that’s back to the SU way of life.

“We put a big emphasis this week on running the football,” Bailey said. “Because at the end of the day, that’s who we are as a program. We’re a smashmouth team.” mcooperj@syr.edu

SU offense can’t outwit Marquette goalkeeper in 1-goal loss

By Chris Iseman Staff Writer

Ted Cribley stood with his hands on his head in disbelief.

He had just taken a shot in the 86th minute from about 10 yards out. As the ball approached the net, it hooked back to the left where it marquette 3 should’ve been out of the of Marquette goalsyracuse 2 reach keeper David Check. But Check took a few quick steps to his left and brought the ball into his chest and low to the ground to maintain a 2-2 tie.

It was just one of the many Syracuse opportunities that Check foiled on Saturday.

“When the ball comes to you and you get opportunities, and the keeper comes up with a great save, it’s frustrating,” said Cribley, an SU midfielder who finished with four shots on the night. “You feel as if you deserve it, and you don’t get it. It’s just one of those things. If the keeper makes a really good save, you can’t do anything about it.”

Cribley’s reaction displayed the frustration every other Orange (2-5, 0-1 Big East) scorer

was feeling all night. SU’s offense was the most aggressive it has been all season, but no matter how many opportunities it created, it couldn’t find a way to beat Check in the Big East opener for both teams. The junior made a career-best 12 saves, helping to lead Marquette (3-4-1, 1-0) to a 3-2 win over Syracuse on Saturday night in front of 1,327 at SU Soccer Stadium.

SU was left to explain how 25 shots didn’t result in more than two goals. But every reasonable explanation led back to Check in goal.

Despite the loss and the frustration that came with so many squandered opportunities, head coach Ian McIntyre still said this was the best his team has played all season.

“We were good tonight,” McIntyre said. “We were real good and so was Marquette. It was a lot of positives. That’s the best our team’s played in a while. … Their goalkeeper is probably man of the match.”

Although at the start, it didn’t look like Check was going to be much of a force in goal.

In the 22nd minute, junior Mark Brode took a shot from about 15 yards out. Check jumped straight up with his arms extended, and the

ball caught his fingertips. But it fell behind him to roll into the net and give the Orange an early 1-0 lead.

“After the first blunder by the goalie on my goal, I didn’t think he was going to be too good,” Brode said. “But he ended up coming up with a lot of big saves. It’s a bittersweet loss.”

A loss in which Brode and the aggressive Orange offense did exactly what McIntyre asked of them during the week in practice.

In the back of his mind during the game, Brode said he could hear McIntyre yelling in practice Thursday to take better shots from the outside rather than wait for passes at the middle of the field. So Brode did what McIntyre wanted and took four solid shots in the game.

On any other night when he wasn’t going up against Check, more than one of those shots might have led to goals.

SU scored its second goal in the 52nd minute when Lars Muller received a corner kick from Nick Roydhouse and managed to sneak it past Check.

Syracuse kept pushing for its third goal, but its effort was to no avail against the Marquette

goalie. And the frustration only built up as the game wore on.

“If you have 25 shots, you should score more than two goals,” Cribley said. “It’s as simple as that. That’s when it really stings, when you deserve to win and you don’t.”

As well as Check played, Syracuse goalkeeper Phil Boerger was nearly just as good.

The senior finished the game with a career-high nine saves on 20 Golden Eagle shots. He didn’t give up Marquette’s third goal wasn’t until the 88th minute when Eric Pothast sent a header to James Nortey, who managed to put it past Boerger for the game-winning score.

At the end, all Syracuse could do was look at the positives. Looking back on the missed chances and the empty shots was too discouraging.

Still, Cribley was left to wonder what could’ve been if one of his opportunities, or any that the SU scorers had, led to a goal.

“If we had gotten that third, there’s no coming back for them,” Cribley said. “But that’s the thing, we need to learn to finish these games.” cjiseman@syr.edu

Orange bounces back to beat Villanova after loss to Georgetown

By David Propper Staff Writer

Before every game, Brittany Anghel and her Syracuse teammates pick a word or phrase, scribble it on a piece of medical tape with black permanent marker and wear the tape around their wrists.

One game it was “comsyracuse 1 mit.” Another game it was Villanova 0 “rise above.”

For the Orange’s match georgetown 3 against Villanova, the syracuse 1 phrase was “our time.”

“Our time,” Anghel said. “Our time to shine. Our time to show what we can do, that we can beat this team. That, that performance against Georgetown wasn’t really us.”

Coming off a disappointing 3-1 loss to Georgetown on Friday, Syracuse turned things around on Sunday at Syracuse Soccer Stadium, picking up a critical 1-0 win over the Wildcats. SU’s (3-4-3, 2-2 Big East) lone goal came off a toe poke from the right foot of Megan Hunsberger in the 57th minute, breaking a scoreless tie in front of 412 spectators.

SU head coach Phil Wheddon said that a critical win after Friday’s loss meant added pressure for the Orange.

“They know that we have to go 1-1 or at least that’s the goal to go 1-1 at least every weekend,” Wheddon said. “So they’re aware of a certain amount of pressure, and I think they really stepped up today.”

A freshman netted her first career goal and was one player in particular who really stepped up.

Hunsberger sprinted down the left sideline and received a precise pass from midfielder Tina Romagnuolo, who had volleyed it over the head of a Wildcats defender.

Villanova had two options: foul Hunsberger or let her take the open shot. The Wildcats decided on the ladder and with just the goal-

keeper to beat, Hunsberger knocked in her first career goal by shooting to the far side of the net.

With her goal, she also put SU in front. The emotion of the first goal of her career was overwhelming.

“It was awesome,” said Hunsberger. “I didn’t even know what to do.”

Early on, SU head coach Phil Wheddon wasn’t pleased with how his team came out. The Orange dealt with the same problems it had against Georgetown — not controlling the tempo and not possessing the ball with proficiency.

To him, this was not Syracuse soccer.

“We didn’t play our brand of soccer for sure,” Wheddon said. “ … I don’t think we executed the game plan in the first half.”

At halftime, Syracuse made some adjustments to get around Villanova’s attempts at clogging up the center of the field with three midfielders. The Orange put more of a focus on playing out on the flanks and getting more mobility on the wide parts of the field, Wheddon said.

So with the changes, SU’s offense was able to push the Wildcats defense back and apply more pressure on Villanova’s back line.

“In the second half, we were very dynamic,” Wheddon said. “We were moving the ball. Getting open for the ball and when we do that I think we’re an exciting team to watch, and we create options that we did today.”

SU had a couple key chances within the first seven minutes of the second half in the form of shots on net by Romagnuolo and Brielle Heitman.

But after that strike from Hunsberger in the 57th minute, things started to get a little tense.

Villanova was issued two yellow cards.

Jenna Rickan was tripped to the ground by a Villanova defender after she had a legitimate scoring opportunity, and Brittany Kinmond was dropped to the ground deep in Villanova’s zone.

It was the only way the Wildcats could slow down SU’s faster second-half pace.

“Even at the end, you could just tell it was getting chippier and chippier,” Rickan said.

stacie fanelli | asst photo editor Brittany anghel (1) passes the ball during Syracuse’s 1-0 win over Villanova Sunday afternoon. Anghel made six saves and recorded her fifth shutout of the season.

“But we just kept going and realized it doesn’t matter who has the most yellow or whatever. It just matters that we won 1-0.”

It especially matters that the Orange escaped with the dramatic victory because it’s hoping to have a realistic shot at a Big East tournament berth. And splitting weekend conference games is a necessity to achieve that goal.

And after falling to Georgetown on Friday,

SU couldn’t bear dropping another Big East contest against a beatable Villanova squad that isn’t at the elite stature it was a couple of years back, when it made it to the NCAA tournament.

Today, it was SU’s time to take control.

“We’re sick and tired of saying this is our game, this is our game,” Rickan said. “We want to just go and do it.” dgproppe@syr.edu

Fast start to 2nd half sparks Orange to victory over Terriers

By Stephen Bailey Asst. Copy Editor

As Syracuse went into halftime deadlocked with Boston University, head coach Ange Bradley issued a challenge to her team: score two goals as soon as possible.

And the Orange delivered with two quick goals, sparking the team syracuse 3 to victory. boston u. 2 “I think I need to set higher goals and higher syracuse 2 expectations because louisville 1 (OT) most of the time they do what I ask,” Bradley said jokingly. “But I’m really proud of what they did.

They moved, they passed and they finished, and they did it right away.”

No. 5 Syracuse (7-2, 2-0 Big East) used that fast start to the second half to secure a 3-2 victory over the No. 17 Terriers (5-4, 0-0 America East) in front of 145 on Sunday at J.S. Coyne Stadium. The Orange’s two goals in the first 4:11 of the second half proved to be the difference. It was also SU’s second win of the weekend after

the Orange beat Big East foe No. 19 Louisville 2-1 in overtime on Friday.

To complete the weekend sweep, SU had to come out of the break firing against BU. Kelsey Millman watched from the top of the shooting circle as a crossing pass intended for senior midfielder Martina Loncarica came in from the right. The pass was deflected, setting up an open shot for Millman, who stood a few feet to the right of Loncarica.

And Millman buried it.

“It came up into the middle, and I popped off the line, and it was a little bit of confusion, but it went in,” the junior forward said.

The goal, which came more than 30 minutes after junior back Iona Holloway put the Orange on the board, set the tone for a second half in which Syracuse outshot the Terriers 14-3. The Orange also earned eight penalty corners while holding BU to none in the final 35 minutes.

SU only waited seven seconds for its third goal.

Heather Susek worked up the right baseline and snuck a shot past BU goalkeeper Jess Maroney, tallying her team-high seventh goal of

the season and extending the Orange’s lead to 3-1.

The senior forward’s goal continued SU’s theme of attacking the right baseline. It’s a tactic the team has been enforcing since its season opener against Monmouth almost a month ago.

“We’ve just been changing the angle of the goalie,” Susek said. “Which we’ve been working on in practice and basically this whole year.”

Though the Orange only scored three goals, it racked up 22 shots and put 16 on net. In comparison, the Terriers managed to test Syracuse junior goalkeeper Leann Stiver just three times.

Many of SU’s shots came on second and third chances. Often times an attempt would be deflected by the BU goalkeeper and a member of the Orange would be there for an immediate followup. But SU didn’t convert many opportunities.

“It’s great that we’re getting rebounds,” junior back Holloway said. “It would be better if the first shot went in, in the first place, but our forwards have been working really hard on their rebounding. If we just get a few more in, we’d have a more comfortable victory.”

Syracuse had to battle all game to get the

win. BU threatened to force overtime late, cutting Syracuse’s lead to 3-2 in the 63rd minute on a counterattack.

But the Orange held off the Terriers comeback bid to earn its 20th consecutive victory at J.S. Coyne Stadium.

The last time the Orange lost at home was Sept. 6, 2009. But Bradley said the team must stay focused on every game and can’t take its home-field advantage for granted.

“If you think of what’s been in the past or what’s in the future, you’re not going to get done what you need to get done in the moment,” Bradley said.

And at halftime Sunday, the Orange seized its moment. Holloway and company stepped up and rose to Bradley’s challenge to lead the team to another win.

“All we wanted to do was score at halftime, obviously because we were in a tie game when we really shouldn’t have been,” Holloway said.

“So we came out and wanted to score two early goals, which we did.” sebail01@syr.edu

SU fails to convert on multiple match points in disappointing loss to USF

By David Wilson Staff Writer

Syracuse had hoped things would be different this year against South Florida. Last year, the Bulls ended the Orange’s 18-game winning streak and ushered in a season of disappointment in the Big East for SU. And the first set went south florida 3 just the way SU hoped its syracuse 2 Big East season opener would go. Syracuse dominated, jumping out to a 17-10 lead. But SU only won the set 25-21 after a South Florida rally keyed by freshman Valerie El Houssine’s four consecutive kills.

The Bulls’ little comeback was a sign of things to come.

“We have a lot of mental errors,” junior Sam Hinz said. “It’s frustrating. … After a six point lead no team should be let back in the game.”

After taking a two-set lead, Syracuse dropped back-to-back sets in which it had match point before USF controlled the final set, 15-12, to defeat the Orange in five sets. Syracuse (9-6,

0-1 Big East) dropped its Big East opener despite carrying momentum through two sets.

Heading into intermission, the Orange had three chances to close out the win. But South Florida (5-9, 1-1 Big East) made the necessary changes to make it a match.

“They made some adjustments,” assistant coach Kelly Morrisroe said. “They definitely sped up their offense a little bit. … That’s something that our blockers are having a little bit of trouble adjusting to lately.”

In the second set, USF jumped out to a big lead of its own, going up 10-3 before the Orange called a timeout to regroup.

Out of the timeout, freshman Nicolette Serratore managed a dig and a kill in the same point.

That sparked a Syracuse rally that culminated with one of freshman Andrea Fisher’s teamhigh 16 kills to give the Orange a 25-22 victory and a two-set lead.

“They were just telling us to keep fighting,” Serratore said. “It was still early in the game, so we had a lot of playing left to do.”

With SU now in control headed into intermis-

sion, it was South Florida that needed to remember there was a lot of playing left to do.

El Houssine, who almost capped a Bulls rally in the first set, did. She gave SU fits from start to finish, tallying a career-high 30 kills, including 10 in the third set.

“They were definitely going towards their strongest hitter (El Houssine),” Serratore said.

“They were feeding her a lot because she was on fire and she was doing really well. They kind of found that weakness in our defense.”

Despite Houssine’s outstanding play, SU still had a chance to close out the match in the third set. The Orange had three match points in the third set, but was unable to capitalize as the Bulls extended the match with a 29-27 victory.

Unfortunately for the Orange, this became a theme.

In the fourth set, the momentum continued to shift as South Florida led for most of the set.

But SU managed to battle back with a run of its own to take a 15-10 lead.

Of course, in this game of runs, the Bulls made one of their own. South Florida scored

five of the next six points to battle back and take another 29-27 win after Syracuse blew multiple match points and committed nine errors.

“It’s just one of those matches where we played hard,” Morrisroe said. “It’s just it comes down to a couple points. It’s one of those games that really could have gone either way.”

The Orange never led in the fifth and final set. SU was able to cut the lead to 13-12 with a late run, but ultimately lost after one of its five errors in the set, and USF scored back-to-back points to shock Syracuse for only the Bulls’ fifth win of the season.

Despite some mental lapses and a disappointing defeat, the Orange kept its confidence after the game that Big East play won’t go the same way it did last season.

“It’s the beginning of the Big East,” sophomore Lindsay McCabe said. “We have a few freshmen on the court, but hopefully we can straighten things out.

“Hopefully get some of the kinks out and get ready for Big East again next weekend.” dbwilson@syr.edu

Scott’s OT pick saves SU defense in win

SAVING FACE

ame throw, same spot, same situation. Kevyn Scott recognized it immediately. Austin Dantin’s lofted pass in overtime to the back right corner of the end zone was a carbon copy of the desperation pass Wake Forest threw three weeks ago against Syracuse.

“It was kind of like déjà vu,” Scott said.

The pass designed to lead wide receiver Bernard Reedy in behind Scott’s coverage was identical to Ted Stachitas’ heave toward Chris Givens on Sept. 1. That pass fell incomplete due to Scott’s tight coverage. This time — the second time — he was even a step faster and swooped in front of Reedy to pick off Dantin’s pass.

“I was in my press coverage, and I turned around and looked for the ball,” Scott said. “I saw that it was coming, and it was kind of like a baby seeing candy. I saw the ball coming to me, and I was just ready for it.”

His interception in the end zone gave Syracuse (3-1, 0-0 Big East) the ball and set the stage for Ross Krautman’s game-winning field goal in a dramatic 33-30 overtime victory against Toledo. On a day in which

Poor attendance indicates lack of appreciation

yshawn Davis isn’t buying it, and neither am I. That the difference in attendance between Saturday’s sparse Carrier Dome landscape and the fairly-full season-opening win against Wake Forest was only 1,717 fans seems preposterous.

Against Toledo, the portion of the student section adjacent to the band saw fewer than five full rows of students. The upper deck had a smattering of spectators. Hell, the lower level wasn’t even close to full.

“I was looking up at the stands, and I was like, ‘We had more fans than this for Wake Forest,’” Davis

Kevyn Scott

Scott came up with the biggest play of the game for Syracuse, intercepting Austin Dantin’s pass on Toledo’s first series in overtime. All SU had to do was set up a 27-yard field goal for Ross Krautman to seal the victory.

ZERO

Big East officials not a dime back said. “And I saw that it said 39,000, and Wake Forest was almost 41,000.”

Sure, there might have been 39,116 tickets sold to Saturday’s 33-30 overtime win against Toledo, but the amount of people that actually showed up to watch was far fewer.

SEE COHEN PAGE 14

The officials ruled Ross Krautman’s extra point good on the field and after a video review to give Syracuse a 30-27 lead with 2:07 left. But the Big East determined after the game that the extra point had missed wide left. Toledo’s field goal at the end of regulation could have given the Rockets the win rather than force overtime.

Bailey, Gulley lead Orange offense in win over Toledo

By Mark Cooper ASST. SPORTS EDITOR

Prince-Tyson Gulley’s energy manifested itself again in his first carry.

The anxiousness Gulley displayed running out of the tunnel, jumping and swinging his arms as much as anyone on Syracuse, was visible when he finally got his hands on the ball.

Bouncing to his left when there wasn’t much wiggle room up the middle, SU’s second running back turned the corner around Toledo safety Jermaine Robinson and scampered down the sideline. And his 21-yard gain came when the Orange desper-

ately needed a momentum-shifter.

As Gulley ran over to the sidelines and used fellow running back Adonis Ameen-Moore as a springboard to leap and let out his emotions, it was clear he shook things up.

“Tyson made some incredible runs, Antwon (Bailey) made some great runs, it was a great one-two punch, which we needed something like that to happen,” SU offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett said.

“We needed two guys to be able to come out there, help each other, spell each other, get a great running game
