Acropolis responds to DPS email

By Marwa Eltagouri NEWS EDITOR

A recent stabbing on Marshall Street and rumors of gang activity near Acropolis Pizza House prompted the Department of Public Safety and Student Association President Dylan Lustig to send the SU community an email on Monday night addressing any concerns.

Though the email dispelled the rumors, DPS Chief Tony Callisto and Lustig encouraged students to avoid going to the restaurant.

“We would therefore suggest avoiding this establishment late at night, as it has been the center-point of these activities,” the email read.

Such rumors, and now the email, have already taken a toll on Acropolis’s business, said employee Steven Papazides.

“We’re being treated really unfairly in this situation,” he said. “Saturday night wasn’t as good. We should’ve been packed — but nothing.”

DPS issued an alert notifying students of the stabbing in front of the pizza joint that took place early Saturday morning involving non-SU students. A 31-year-old Syracuse resident received non-life threatening injuries after being stabbed on the right side of his chest.

Once the fight broke out, Papazides said he ushered everyone out of the restaurant immediately, wanting no part in the situation.

“As employees of this store, we’re not in control of these streets,” Papazides said. “If the situation’s so dire, shouldn’t Marshall Street have nighttime security?”

Papazides said lately Acropolis has received “a lot of grief” from DPS and the Syracuse Police Department for serving gang members, and therefore contributing to the increase of gang members in the area.

But Papazides said he has no way of knowing which of his customers are gang members, since members do not explicitly display

PANEL TICKETS

STILL AVAILABLE

By Dylan Segelbaum ASST. COPY EDITOR

Though a line of more than 150 students stretched out the door of the Schine Student Center on Tuesday afternoon, complimentary student tickets to the “Common Ground for Peace” symposium did not run out.

Students began lining up for tickets to two separate panels featuring His Holiness the

Dalai Lama and NBC correspondent Ann Curry about an hour and a half before they were released at 5 p.m. But after less than 15 minutes, the initial line had cleared out.

Syracuse University announced Monday that 300 tickets would be available for each Oct. 8 panel. The public will not be allowed to pick them up until Wednesday at 9 a.m.

About 100 tickets were left between the two panels when the box office closed Tuesday, said Chuck Merrihew, vice president of administration and engagement of advancement and external affairs at SU.

Students react to rumors of gang activity near campus

By Jessica Iannetta ASST. NEWS EDITOR

The Department of Public Safety and Student Association President Dylan Lustig sent an email to students on Monday night to dispel rumors that gang initiation activities are behind the area’s spike in crime.

Although DPS has sent out emails

in the past to update students on the status of various crimes, DPS Chief Tony Callisto said the department doesn’t usually send notices to address rumors.

“We haven’t had this kind of rumor in the seven years I’ve been here,” Callisto said.

The email assured students that

the uptick in crime is normal for this time of year and that there has not been an increase beyond what has occurred in years past.

The email also highlighted two recent incidents on Marshall Street near Acropolis Pizza House, which did not involve Syracuse University students, and warned students

to stay away from the area at night.

The email also advised students to be aware of guests at parties they host and also to make sure they know the hosts of parties they attend.

The purpose of the email was not to make students worried or concerned about the recent spike in

Flu-shot clinics open to students

also receiving a touch-up.

“The light fixtures on the flanking columns at the top of the north stairs will be restored to their original appearance,” Rodoski said. “Restoration of the adjacent staircases and sidewalks are also part of the project.”

While the intent of the renovation is to restore the memorial, the idea is to keep the original design intact.

A semi-circular structure made of limestone and granite, known as the Remembrance Wall, lists the names of the 35 victims. In the center of the structure is a circular stone bench with a plaque dedicated to the Clay, N.Y., couple Paula and Glenn Bouckley, who were also on Pan Am Flight 103, according to the SU Archives.

Remembrance Week is a series of events planned by 35 students selected as Remembrance Scholars in honor of the 35 victims of the Pan Am Flight 103 tragedy.

“The purpose of Remembrance Week is to educate our current generation about the lasting impacts of the tragedy,” Rodoski said.

Remembrance Week will begin Oct. 21.

To protect students against the flu virus, Syracuse University Health Services has already started administering shots for the upcoming flu season.

Flu activity most commonly peaks in the United States in January or February, but the seasonal flu activity can begin as early as October and continue into May, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s website.

The CDC recommends everyone 6 months and older be vaccinated with the flu vaccine, which became available as early as August. The vaccine takes about two weeks for antibodies to develop in the body and provide protection against the flu, according to the website.

Two flu-shot clinics have already taken place at Archbold/ Flanagan Gymnasium for SU and State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry students. Since this year, just under 600 students were administered the vaccine, said Kathy VanVechten, a nurse practitioner at Health Services.

The first two flu clinics saw far fewer students than anticipated, said VanVechten, who oversees the immunization clinics.

“This is probably because they have continuing opportunities to get vaccines this year,” VanVechten said. “There was also an increasing opportunity for students to have gotten the vaccine at home or through a local pharmacy before returning to school.”

Maria Poplawska, a senior biology major, said she received a flu shot at one of the health services clinics because she has gotten the flu in past years.

“I had the flu previously and if I got it I would still go to classes; it’s not like I can miss them,” said Poplawska. “It’s more for my comfort; I don’t want to be coughing or sneezing and having a temperature for a week, so I’d rather not get it.”

For the remainder of October, students can receive flu shots on Wednesdays and Thursdays from noon to 4 p.m. at Health Services, according to the email.

“We’re not expecting a large turnout, but a steady stream throughout the month of October,” said VanVechten. “We wanted to

Renovations to finish by Remembrance Week

By Levi Stein

CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Renovations to the Place of Remembrance located directly in front of the Hall of Languages are nearly complete.

“The Place of Remembrance is being refurbished, not changed,” said Kelly Rodoski, communications manager for SU News Services, in an email. “It will continue to be a focal point during Remembrance Week.”

The Place of Remembrance is Syracuse University’s memorial to the 35 students and two Clay, N.Y., residents killed in the Pan Am Flight 103 bombing over Lockerbie, Scotland on Dec. 21, 1988.

The memorial was first unveiled and dedicated on April 22, 1990.

The Office of Campus Planning, Design and Construction is responsible for overseeing the renovation.

It hopes to have the memorial completed by mid-October, just in time for SU’s annual Remembrance Week, Rodoski said.

The Wall of Remembrance is constructed from a more durable, weatherproof limestone to provide long-term resistance to the harsh Syracuse winters, Rodoski said.

“The renovation project that has

They first began during the summer and are expected to be finished in time for Remembrance Week, which begins on Sunday, Oct. 21. taken place this year is meant to ensure the structural integrity of the Place of Remembrance,” she said.

Additionally, the etchings of the 35 students’ names on the Wall of Remembrance will be re-inscribed by a “specially selected stone engraver,” she said.

The renovations also include replacing the current tablet with

dense, high-quality black granite, Rodoski said.

Not every aspect of the memorial is receiving a makeover. The circular granite bench in the center will remain untouched, while the surrounding granite walking surface will just receive a few new ground panels, she said.

Progressive SU students, faculty members should oppose Dalai Lama’s visit to campus The invitation of the Dalai Lama to the two-day “peace” event at Syracuse University creates a major contradiction to the intended message of the event. Despite the naivete of the event and the pseudo-multiculturalism included in it, the fact the Dalai Lama is the main attraction negates any progressive element.

The One World Community Foundation likely believes, as many in the West do, that Tibet under the lamas was a land of peace and harmony, and that today China oppresses and “occupies” Tibet.

But nothing could be further from the truth.

The Tibet that the lamas — who presented themselves as “god kings” — ruled over was a feu-

dal society. The nobility and monasteries owned all of the land. Serfs worked these lands as slaves and had no access to education or medical care.

It was a monarchy, and the Dalai Lama became the “leader” of Tibet at age 15. Women were the property of their husbands and fathers.

The lamas have historically been political opportunists. Tibet had considerable mineral wealth and was a strategic geopolitical location.

Tibet borders Nepal and India. To ensure their power politically, the lamas have worked side by side with Western imperialism and continue to, to this day, as the Dalai Lama “rules from exile” from India. The Dalai Lama has been on

the CIA’s payroll since the 1950s.

The relationship between the People’s Republic of China and Tibet is complicated, but overall the Chinese Revolution brought profound changes to Tibetan society. The Chinese Communist Party strictly follows the provision in their constitution that all Tibetans shall enjoy full rights to self-determination. The Chinese government concentrated its efforts and resources on building schools, roads and highways. The Communist Party has established health clinics in rural parts of Tibet, increasing life expectancy by 20 years. Women are no longer property. This is not to say that life is perfect now in Tibet, or

that mistakes haven’t been made.

A return to the rule of the Dalai Lama would be a historic setback for the Tibetan people. It would result in Tibet being a virtual client state to the West and would undoubtedly result in another U.S. military base being propped up.

All progressive SU students and faculty should critically oppose the One World Community Foundation, the Dalai Lama and the “Free Tibet” movement.

SYRACUSE UNIVERSIT Y ANSWER COALITION (ACT NOW TO STOP WAR AND END RACISM).

Scholars ask students, community to respect Place of Remembrance during construction The refurbishing of the Place of Remembrance, a memorial to forever honor the victims of Pan Am Flight 103, is expected to be completed this October, a year before the world will recognize the 25th anniversary of the tragedy.

Both the Place of Remembrance and the Gateway to Campus — the prominent dual staircases leading up to the Hall of Languages — are part of a project led by Syracuse University’s Office of Campus Planning, Design and Construction.

The project will ensure the structural longevity of the area that honors the 35 SU study abroad students whose lives were lost in the bombing of Pan Am 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland, on Dec. 21, 1988. Work began this past May and should be complete by the end of October in advance of the university’s annual Remembrance Week events from October 21-27. We request students and members of the SU community respect the construction site during this time.

The Place of Remembrance is more than a

gateway to our campus; it is a place that invites us to reflect on the importance of personal relationships and reminds us of our responsibility to act in ways that promote scholarship, dialogue and understanding. It is an area that is very important to victims’ families and everyone impacted by the Pan Am 103 tragedy. Completion of this project will ensure a lasting foundation for honoring the memory of those lost.

While we recognize that the construction site may be a disruption on campus, we ask for your patience and understanding while the project is underway. There are many custommade pieces of granite and limestone used, which have required weeks of workmanship and handling. The fences and warning lines placed around the site are there to protect the

materials and equipment within and, more importantly, to protect nearby pedestrians while construction is underway.

Restoration of the adjacent staircases and sidewalks is also part of the project, providing a physical upgrade to the area regularly traversed — and photographed — by the SU community and visitors to campus.

The workers who are on-site every day take pride in the work, especially on this site, as it memorializes the tragic loss of our 35 students and 235 others on Pan Am Flight 103. We hope that members of our campus and local community will feel that same sense of pride and treat this construction site with respect when the workers leave for the day.

Students did not take advantage of ticket sales Syracuse University officials took great steps to make sure students get tickets to see the Dalai Lama speak, but students did not fully take advantage of the opportunity.

The university designated 300 tickets to each panel on Oct. 8 for students. The complimentary tickets were available from 5-7 p.m. Tuesday for students. Complimentary tickets are available for the general public beginning Wednesday morning, but the Tuesday distribution was solely for students.

Even so, students did not take full advantage of this opportunity.

By 7 p.m. Tuesday, about 100 of the 600 allotted tickets remained. That means only 500 students picked up tickets in the two-hour span.

University officials planned ahead for students. They picked a time during the day when most students’ classes are over, created designated lines to keep them orderly and offered about 20 percent of the total seating available in the auditorium to students.

But students did not respond to

EDITORIAL by the daily orange editorial board the university’s offer. Though some students are attending the panels with professors, it seems unreasonable that there were not 600 other students who wanted to attend the event and who could get their tickets on Tuesday.

Seeing the Dalai Lama is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for students. The panels are covering different topics than the concert event. Students should have taken advantage of the opportunity the university offered.

Liberals must stop attacking Romney for giving them what they want

itt Romney put out his tax returns last week. Previously, the left complained about Romney’s failure to release this information, but now that he has, his tax returns are being distorted and used against him.

Regarding Romney’s tax returns, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) said, “The information released today reveals that Mitt Romney manipulated one of the only two years of tax returns he’s seen fit to show the American people.”

Reid also said, “What we don’t know is why (Romney) refuses to be straight with the American people about the choices he’s made in his financial life.”

Ironically, Reid’s response is the exact reason Romney was hesitant to release his tax information.

Romney’s “financial life” is none of Reid’s business, and Romney likely knew that being “straight with the American people” would cause some liberal to crawl out from under a rock and say “Romney manipulated one of the only two years of tax returns he’s seen fit to show the American people.”

But Reid’s obsession with Romney’s taxes is nothing new. Before Romney revealed his tax data, Reid said, “The word is out that (Romney) has not paid any taxes for ten years.

Let him prove he has paid taxes, because he has not.”

Romney has now given proof, but Reid has not apologized for being wrong.

Here are the numbers: Romney’s effective federal tax rate was 20.2 percent between the years 1990 and 2009, according to Romney’s tax accountants

vast right-wing conspiracy at PricewaterhouseCoopers. In 2011, Romney paid $1.95 million in taxes on an income of $13.7 million, which made his 2011 effective federal tax rate 14.1 percent, according to his accountants.

One of Reid’s new claims is “manipulation.” Reid argues that Romney’s accountants deducted only half of Romney’s charitable giving in 2011, which increased his effective federal tax rate.

For sure, Romney and his accountants targeted the 14.1 percent figure

Jon Harris Chris Iseman Chase Gaewski Lauren Murphy Allie Berube Allen Chiu Beth Fritzinger Elizabeth Hart Boomer Dangel Avery Hartmans Jacob Klinger Meredith Newman Dylan Segelbaum Nick Toney

to match Romney’s rhetoric, or in the words of Romney’s accountants, “The Romneys … limited their deduction of charitable contributions to conform to the Governor’s statement in August.”

In August, Romney claimed to have always paid more than 13 percent of income in taxes, and took the action to make good on his claim. Reid, on the other hand, cannot make good on his.

Reid’s term, “manipulation,” is not accurate regarding Romney’s tax returns. Manipulation generally means “to manage or influence skillfully, especially in an unfair manner.”

Romney and his accountants have managed his finances skillfully, but they have not done so in an unfair manner. In 2011, Romney gave away $4 million, which is nearly 30 percent of his income. He also paid 14.1

percent of his income to the federal government, and assuming Romney’s historical average effective state tax rate is accurate for this year, Romney paid an additional 8.3 percent of his income to Massachusetts.

In other words, Romney gave more money to the federal government than required, paid his state taxes and then donated more than double the amount of his federal tax bill to charity.

In total, after federal taxes, state taxes and donations, Romney kept only 47.6 percent of his 2011 income.

Reid is the true manipulator because slandering Romney with this information misleads public opinion unfairly.

Concrete plan

STAFF WRITER

ridge rebuilding projects that could have taken months to complete were finished Monday night after only four days of work.

The shorter time frame was achieved using construction techniques new to Central New York to replace the decks of two bridges on Interstate 690 in Syracuse.

The contractor working for the New York State Department of Transportation, Slate Hill Constructors, used precast panels to replace the decks of the bridges that carry the highway over Peat Street and North Crouse Avenue.

Instead of pouring the concrete into place on site, using precast panels cut down construction time significantly. Gene Cilento, a public information officer for the NYSDOT, said the project could have taken more than 12 weeks without the use of precast panels.

The new method, while effective, is also more expensive. To replace the decks on these two bridges cost the state $3.4 million. Pouring

“If we’re gathering them here, well, there’s half of the police’s job,” he said.

Callisto said in an email to The Daily Orange that he won’t speak to the issue of what Acropolis “should or should not do” relative to their patrons, and that it’s Acropolis’s responsibility to consider the situation.

“My comments are to alert students to the fact that criminal acts have occurred there during late night hours, so they should avoid the area,” he said.

crime. The email clearly says the rumor is false and was intended for those students who had heard about the rumor, Callisto said.

“The point of the notice was to alert folks, not to alarm them,” he said.

For many students, like Lydia Feinberg, a junior biology major, the email was a source of reassurance and did not make her any more worried about crime near campus.

“I’m not any more alert than I already am,” she said. “If anything, it made me feel a little better.”

New construction methods speed up process of rebuilding bridges

the concrete in place would have cut that cost in half, The Post-Standard reported on Sept. 21.

But Cilento said the advancement is well worth the price.

“You make up for the extra cost,” he said.

“Four-day inconvenience is a lot less costly to the public than 12 weeks plus.”

This past weekend, I-690 east between Teall Avenue and Thompson Road was closed, as well as the ramps from Almond Street and Interstate 81 north onto I-690 east, and the ramps from North McBride Street and Midler Avenue, The Post-Standard reported.

Monday night, all of the roads were open again, although there will be some additional work on the bridge this week, Cilento said.

Using preset concrete for bridge repair is not new to the state of New York. The NYSDOT has used precast decking on the Tappan Zee Bridge over the Hudson River and the Grand Island Bridge in Niagara Falls, Cilento said.

Each panel is custom made and cast from concrete poured into steel forms. Once trucked to the construction side, and once the old deck-

Papazides said the restaurant has been serving customers from nearby neighborhoods for years. He said many of his customers have been coming to Acropolis since their parents first took them as children.

On top of “scaring away the students,” Papazides said police recently closing off traffic on Marshall Street late at night to take care of the situation additionally frustrates him. Not only can Acropolis customers not pick up their food, but neither can the delivery person, he said.

Said Papazides: “So now we’re stuck between the police handling the situation the way they are and these gangs. We’re just stuck in the middle.” meltagou@syr.edu

ing is removed, the new panels are lifted into place onto the existing steel bridge structure, The Post-Standard reported.

This year and the next, the NYSDOT will introduce this method to five of 13 total bridge repair projects all across Onondaga, Cayuga and Oneida counties. These projects will cost $17.4 million, The Post-Standard reported.

When the Peat Street and North Crouse Avenue bridges were identified as needing work, construction followed relatively soon after. The bridge decks needed to be addressed, said Cilento, but all other aspects are sturdy and strong.

Slate Hill will redeck I-690’s span over North Crouse Avenue in October, The PostStandard reported. The eastbound work is to take place Oct. 12-15, and the westbound Oct. 19-22, Cilento said. Both projects will once again use precast paneling.

“This is the fist time I’ve used precast panels on an interstate highway in our DOT regions,” he said. “It’s very exciting.” seschust@syr.edu

WORD TO THE WISE

In the email sent out to students, DPS and SA advised the following precautions: • Never walk alone. Take advantage of the Centro and Caz Limo bus services.

• Walk, bike or jog in groups of three or more.

• Stay away from bushes, cars and other objects a suspect could hide behind.

• Don’t let headphones and cellphones create tunnel vision.

• Keep porch lights on at night.

• If someone tries to rob you, don’t resist.

When the flu season begins, she said, students should avoid crowded areas.

From past experience, Merrihew said members of the public, faculty, staff and students would take advantage of the complimentary public tickets. It has not yet been decided what will be done with Tuesday’s remaining tickets, but the hope is that they will be given to students, Merrihew said.

“Shifting the Global Consciousness.” Both will be held in Goldstein Auditorium in Schine.

Daniel Salguero, a senior in the College of Arts and Sciences, got in line for tickets half an hour before distribution began. He said he felt the ticket process went smoother than when U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton visited campus in April.

“That one I waited for more than an hour, and it was raining and cold,” he said.

Salguero said he’s more interested in the panel than the concert on Oct. 9.

Rita Worlock, a first-year graduate student pursuing a master’s degree in social work and a Certificate of Advanced Study in addiction studies, said she felt the same way. When she arrived about half an hour after distribution began, there was no line. Worlock said this did not surprise her.

“I think people want to go to the more trendy, mainstream concert that night,” Worlock said.

The sentiment among those who picked up tickets appeared to be very positive.

Anthony DiMare, a junior mechanical engineering major, said he was pleased he got a ticket.

Drew Davis, a sophomore history major, said he only heard the rumor about three hours before receiving the email. But he said he finds the fact that there’s even a rumor going around “pretty scary.”

“The university is letting us be in an unsafe environment,” he said. “We should be safe at all times, both on and off campus.”

But David McLean, a sophomore economics major, said he doesn’t think all the blame should rest with the university.

Said McLean: “This is not a university issue; it’s a city of Syracuse issue. It’s a matter of safety for all Syracuse citizens and they need to crack down for everyone’s sake.”

Their eyes widen as they slowly come to terms with the fact that they’ve been hit with more hiccups than the recently released iPhone 5.

Will Watson, a senior communications and rhetorical studies major, experienced a classic case of hiccups while taking a test.

“It was real quiet. Then, hiccup,” he said with a laugh. “I tried to hold it in. … You know what they say to swallow the hiccup? But then I took a sip of water and spat it out on the person in front.”

I’ll return to Watson’s water technique later.

Medically speaking, hiccups (or hiccoughs) are known as singultus or synchronous diaphragmatic flutter. It sounds complicated, but it’s not.

“A hiccup is a spasm of the diaphragm,” said Brad Black, a third-year medical student at the University of Louisville.

The diaphragm is a large muscle sheet separating the chest and abdominal cavity, according to WebMD. A diaphragm spasm forces you

Band members said the marching band brings people together and provides a sense of community.

“It has a huge social effect on you,” said Campo, a senior policy studies major. “I’m in the band sorority, so not only do I have friends, but I also have sisters and brothers.”

Nicholas Valinski, a senior civil engineering and public affairs major, who is the drumline section leader, said that serving as a section leader is a way to give back to the band. It’s a natural progression, he said, from being a band member to becoming a section leader.

There are moments in which the band kicks back and enjoys a few laughs. At one of their football game performances, Mertz said, members of the percussion section reenacted a scene from the

just do it to take a breath your body is not anticipating, which is blocked as the vocal chords contract and the glottis, located in the middle of the larynx, shuts. And, well: hiccup.

There’s no hard-and-fast rule why your diaphragm starts jerking around, but it’s generally down to a minor upsetting of the stomach, according to WebMD. Drinking hot and then cold drinks can cause hiccups, as well as over-excitement, nerves and alcohol. Everyone’s been, or seen, a Little Miss Hiccup with her shoulders bopping up and down on a late night South Campus bus.

Overeating is also a major culprit.

“When I’m super full I get the hiccups, like every time,” said Danielle Chitkowski, a freshman undeclared major in the David B. Falk

1975 British comedy, “Monty Python and the Holy Grail,” in which the characters mimic a horse moving by clicking coconut shells together.

When members first start playing at the

football games, they struggle to figure out the right speed at which to play. Valinski said that during the first couple of games, the players play faster than they are supposed to because of either excitement or nervousness.

Although Mertz is an SU alumnus, he described his first day teaching the class eight years ago as both “exciting and a little terrifying.”

“It’s the type of environment that fosters a lot of thinking,” he said. “(Schramm) will bring up a topic and then we’ll start discussing it. Soon after, a fight breaks out. Not literally, but people defend their opinions.”

Schramm earned a bachelor’s degree in economics and later a doctorate in labor economics

College of Sport and Human Dynamics.

While admittedly embarrassing, hiccups should disappear after a couple of hours. Bouts lasting longer than 48 hours are labeled “persistent,” and eventually “intractable” if they don’t hic off after a month. Intractable hiccups can lead to weight loss, insomnia and, in extreme cases, depression, WebMD warns.

The record for the longest-lasting case of hiccups goes to Charles Osborne, who had the hiccups nonstop for 68 years, according to Guinness World Records. His affliction was due to a burst blood vessel in the brain, but for more run-of-the-mill cases, there are thousands of potential cures out there.

When I was very young and stupid, my brother convinced me scraping the word “Dog” into my forehead with my fingernail would stop hiccups because I would be concentrating on “other things.” That’s why my brother’s an a**hole. My role reversed this week when I made my friend perform an impromptu how-to-drink-water-with-yourhead-upside-down demo, after informing me she swore by the technique.

For those looking for more discrete solutions, Black has some sensible ideas.

“To get rid of them, personally, I take a deep breath, hold it and flex my abs while pressing out with them at the same time,” he said.

WebMD also recommends holding your breath for 10 seconds, eating a teaspoon of honey or drinking water quickly — just don’t pull a Watson and spit it on an unsuspecting student. Hypnosis can also be used for “intractable” cases. Doctors at the University of Rome have also conducted research on using a painkilling drug called nefopam with favorable results, ABC News reported in 2011.

Unfortunately, nefopam is not available in the United States, so in the interim, try out all “cures” apart from the “Dog”-inscribing technique. And men, beware: WebMD warns boys are more at risk of involuntary diaphragm spasms than Saturday night’s Little Miss Hiccup. That serves my brother right.

“It was exciting because I’m the director of the marching band at my alma mater,” he said. “The first day was also a little terrifying because there were 200 students who were looking to me to give them an efficient, positive and constructive experience.”

Students juggle the long hours of practice with schoolwork and other activities. The biggest challenge, Mertz said, is keeping students focused amid their tough schedules.

Valinski said the demanding hours help him manage his time better.

“It is time-consuming, but the fact that it is taking up so much of your time means that you have to manage the rest of your time better,” he said.

Band members are typically hard on themselves if they do not produce their best work, said Patrick Garcia, a sophomore music education major and the band’s drum major, but the desire to perfect the craft is what motivates them.

Valinski said that he has had to figure out how to strike a balance between “being too pas-

sive and too aggressive.”

“So it’s not necessarily that my opinion is right, but that you can see everyone’s opinions and say, ‘OK, this is good for this,’ or ‘OK, this is good for that,’” he said.

When the different sections come together as a whole band, there is the question of ensuring that all the parts are heard at the right moments. The composers assign the players with specific numbers and letters so they can play in the right positions.

And the challenges go beyond practice. The reception of the band is linked not only to the quality of its performance, but also to the team’s status at the end of the game.

Said Valinski: “When we lose a game, no one compliments the band, but if the football team wins, they say, ‘Hey, you did a good job.’ (Mertz) will say that a lot. Regardless of what’s going on on the field, the band’s job doesn’t change.”

and industrial relations from the University of Wisconsin and a law degree from Georgetown University. Before teaching at SU, Schramm was a professor of health policy and management at Johns Hopkins University.

Most recently, Schramm worked as president and CEO of the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation. While there, he grew the foundation into one of the largest private funders of economic research in the country and oversaw the granting of $80 million per year. He also initiated the Kauffman Campus Program to encourage entrepreneurship in education. Seventeen universities are part of the program, including SU. His expansive knowledge of economic growth and innovation includes the restructuring of economies. In 2011 he co-founded the Obama administration’s Start Up America initiative, intended to increase the development and success of U.S. firms. He also recently published a book called “Better Capitalism.”

Schramm said the book argues that the U.S. economy should be growing at a rate of 4 percent per year. Written during the start of the 2008 recession, the book proposes an ambitious approach on how to restart the U.S. economy.

As a native of Syracuse, Schramm said he has witnessed the effects of the recession on the city firsthand.

“The city is radically different, it used be the beautiful part and the university district was the place you avoided,” he said. “Now it’s the opposite, over one-fifth of the city is in poverty and the campus has been beautified unbelievably.”

Bruce Kingma, associate provost for entrepreneurship and innovation at SU, said that Schramm’s book could help more cities than Syracuse.

“The book is a tour de force in what is needed to promote economic growth,” Kingma said. “His work promoting expeditionary economics is getting everyone to think about what we do in countries like Afghanistan and Iraq after traumatic events to promote economic growth.”

Capable of writing a book, teaching and controlling an international foundation, Schramm considers himself to be a good multitasker. He teaches his class as though he were running a business — a business with clear objectives and malleable structure.

“I’m trying to not only to use and teach the secret of obliquity — that is, don’t get too rigid in your thinking — but also that students must be flexible,” he said.

Schramm has witnessed the transformation of Syracuse. His great-great grandfather even helped build the Hall of Languages. He’s well-versed in SU history and is glad to be teaching here.

he Syracuse University Marching Band is not your typical band.

This band warmed up Monday night in Korean pop-style with Korean musician Psy’s “Gangnam Style.”

“Sometimes in warm-ups, we’ll do anything that the kids will get a kick out of,” said Justin Mertz, assistant director of bands and director of the SU Marching Band. “We did what we normally do — we just gave them something different to hear.”

And this marching band doesn’t just play at football games — it’s a

“university band.”

“Our job is to make the campus a better and more fun place to be,” Mertz said.

With nearly 200 students enrolled in ENI 010: “Large Bands,” it takes up to three hours to prepare for the two-hour practice, which takes place on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday nights. The band also meets on Fridays and Saturdays if there is a weekend performance.

The band plays at anywhere from six to eight home games a year, along with 10 to 15 extra performances such as professional football games, exhibitions at high schools and marching band competitions. The band played Sept. 13 at the event celebrating SU reaching its $1 billion fundraising goal.

After the warm-up, the band breaks up into individual sections in which leaders go over that

section’s part. The sections then regroup as a band and practice whatever songs they have to perform. They conclude with practicing formations.

“It’s usually pretty evenly split between practicing the music and either learning or reviewing on the field, so that’s us marching around,” said Jordan Campo, section leader for the alto saxophone players.

After 10-year break, professor returns to his teaching ways

By Joe Infantino STAFF WRITER

Carl Schramm became an academic to escape death.

U.S. involvement in the Vietnam War peaked when Schramm graduated from Le Moyne College in 1968. Determined to elude the draft, he sought out means of rescue. Although draft evasion was not uncommon in the 1960s,

Schramm’s case was exceptional: It was the first step he took in a long and rigorous march to Syracuse University.

“Maybe it wasn’t the best way to approach service to my country, maybe it was a selfish motive, but that’s the unvarnished truth of why I went to study in graduate school,” Schramm said.

Schramm was appointed as SU’s

16th University Professor in June.

He is teaching IST 400/600: “Building Real Companies: The New Entrepreneurship,” a class cross-listed in the School of Information Studies, the Martin J. Whitman School of Management and the Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs. This is the first time in more than 10 years that he has been in the classroom.

The class, which Schramm said is the only one of its kind, examines the process of starting a business through practical guidance and advice. He believes that students should learn through empirical evidence.

“My concern is that much of how business is taught across the country is the passing on of war stories, some of which have become mythical over

time,” he said.

Schramm said his goal for the course is to provide students with a practical understanding of the entrepreneurial process and to prepare students who want to start their own businesses.

or the average college student, 1 p.m. is early for a Sunday. The pleasure of waking up late for breakfast but just in time for lunch is the brilliance that is brunch.

But if I’m heading into civilization after a long weekend, I like some kind of twist to my brunch experience to quiet the voice in my head saying, “I could just make eggs in my PJs.” Luckily, Destiny USA’s new addition includes Cantina Laredo, a modern Mexican chain restaurant and the first location to open in New York. It also has Sunday brunch.

As my dining partners and I settled into our table, a generous bowl of tortilla chips and two different salsas instantly appeared before us. We happily munched while we perused the menu.

We had trouble deciding what route we wanted to take with the menu. I was drawn to the idea of going tapas-style with a few appetizers, which listed an intriguing assortment of

flavor combinations. But when our attentive waitress mentioned the complimentary drink that comes with the brunch entrees, she had us at “mimosas.” They were bubbly, refreshing and came in fancy champagne flutes.

Though the menu had its fair share of Mexican classics, like quesadillas and nachos, watching the Top Shelf Guacamole ($8.95) made in front of us was most appealing. We asked for ours to be extra spicy, but the heat didn’t hit until we chewed and swallowed each bite, leaving time for the smooth avocado, cilantro and tomato to work their magic.

There were also a few appetizers with flairs of other cultures. I was disappointed that the restaurant was out of my first choice: a Mexican take on sushi combining tuna, jalapeno, avocado and cream cheese that’s deep-fried with a chipotle aioli to top it off. I went with my second choice: the Ahi Tuna Tacos ($8.65). It blended soft Ahi Tuna with jicama slaw flavored like Ceviche with a lemon-lime kick, in small taco shells dotted with chipotle aioli. The real stand-

out on the plate, though, was the pickled onion alongside. Eaten with a bite of the tacos and a spoonful of guacamole, it was a perfect mix.

Everything was a pretty big hit until the main courses arrived. The first mistake was presentation. The plates were shameful in two key ways: The grease and grit along the edges of each plate that are normally wiped down were so noticeable that it almost distracted from the fact that the plating was disproportioned and sloppy.

When it came to taste, Cantina’s flavors stood strong. My dining partner’s Chicken Fajita Omelet ($10.95) was oozing with gooey cheese and crunchy peppers enveloped in fluffy eggs. My other partner’s Migas Con Huevos ($8.95) was a scrambled egg mixture, juicy with savory bacon and jalapenos, but the eggs were almost nonexistent, their fluff chopped away into tiny slivers.

The tortilla chips could have been a saver texturally, but were soggy and chewy. My Crab Cakes Benedict ($11.95) suffered from the same issue of great tastes muddled by strange textures,

which ultimately result from poor preparation.

The crab cakes were generous mounds of crab and breaded well, but weren’t crisp, possibly because they were smothered under the chipotle-wine hollandaise sauce. The poached eggs on top were bland, under-seasoned and overcooked to the point of being gummy.

Each plate’s saving grace was the soft red potatoes that accompanied each dish, simply dressed in black pepper and heavy cream. Many places get breakfast potatoes all wrong, but if this review was solely based on those potatoes, Cantina would have a perfect score.

Cantina is a definite step up from your average chain restaurant, blending fusion dishes with a well-staffed, attentive atmosphere that makes you forget you’re at a mall. Though it had a lot of strong supporting players to start, until it can get the main act together, Cantina Laredo’s brunch will not be where my Sundays are spent. dmodiama@syr.edu @daniemarieodie

Perry breaks out to lead UofL running game in perfect start

By Kevin Prise STAFF WRITER

In Louisville’s season opener against Kentucky, Senorise Perry showed he was ready to become a key offensive weapon with one play.

With the Cardinals up 8-7 early in the second quarter, Perry took a handoff and ran into a wall of defenders near the line of scrimmage. But rather than panicking, he bounced off the pack of Wildcats and found an opening, sprinting down the right sideline for an electrifying 47-yard score. The run marked Perry’s longest to date as a Cardinal.

“It felt good,” Perry said in the postgame press conference. “We broke it a lot in practice, so I knew it was going to happen. There was a lot of chaos inside, so I bounced it outside.”

Perry didn’t contend for the Louisville rushing title last season. He didn’t come close. Perry rushed for 27 yards on a measly 12 carries in 2011, ranking seventh on the team.

What a difference a year makes.

Taking a larger role on the Cardinals offense due to graduations and injuries, Perry has notched 340 yards and three touchdowns through only four games in 2012.

Through No. 19 Louisville’s 4-0 start, Perry leads the team in rushing yards and yards per carry with 5.5. The junior serves as a complement to fellow third-year player Jeremy Wright, with potential starter Dominique Brown currently sidelined due to a knee injury.

For Cardinals head coach Charlie Strong, the ground game has been a plus so far.

“We’ve been very fortunate to have two good runners right now,” Strong said in Monday’s Big East teleconference. “Both backs have been running the ball, and they’ve been running behind their pads. ... They’re playing a lot, they’ve been splitting time, but they’ve been doing very well.”

Making Perry’s transition to dependable back more impressive is his relative lack of experience at the position. He saw action in 2011 mostly on special teams — in coverage and as a kick returner.

Perry averaged 26.2 yards as a kick returner while adding 10 tackles and a blocked kick, but remained mostly on the sidelines due to depth at

in 15 years at the helm. The team qualified for the NCAA tournament 14 times during Yelin’s tenure.

the running back position.

Circumstances dictated a change for this year, and Perry has run with it. With 2011 leading rusher Victor Anderson gone to graduation and Brown hurt, Perry and Wright have taken the reins in the backfield — and they’re making the most out of each carry.

“What’s really great for us right now at the running back position is the yards after contact,” Strong said. “They’re getting hit, but they’re able to keep their legs moving and get yards. And our offensive line is doing a great job of blocking.”

This is not a year where Louisville’s offense can fly under the radar, as much-hyped sophomore quarterback Teddy Bridgewater and the Cardinals entered the season carrying a Top-25 national ranking, the only Big East team to earn the preseason distinction.

The newly-minted running duo fit the bill immediately against Kentucky, as the Cardinals cruised to a 32-14 win behind 108 yards rushing from Perry and 105 from Wright.

“We expect a lot out of our offense,” Perry said after the game. “If it happens, it happens.

We both ran hard today and got to 100. And when we run hard, we expect to get to 100.”

Perry demonstrated great speed on his 47-yard burst against Kentucky, no surprise considering he was clocked at 4.28 seconds for the 40-yard dash in high school, according to the Cardinals website. He also won the Georgia state championship in the 100-meter run as a sophomore.

Running back wasn’t even Perry’s predominant position at Chattooga High School in Summerville, Ga. Still, he racked up 1,134 offensive yards and 12 touchdowns as a runner and receiver during his senior year. But he earned All-Area honors at linebacker, where he was ranked 139th nationally by Scout.com.

Now after two seasons on special teams at Louisville, Perry has another chance to prove his offensive prowess. He has avoided a letdown after the breakout performance against Kentucky, adding rushing totals of 72, 86 and 74 yards the last three weeks.

Perry has also added eight catches for 96

“They were on another level, just a notch above everybody else,” Colorado head coach Liz Kritza said. “Everyone knew that Louisville was the best team they were going to play all year.”

When Yelin retired after the 2010 season, people close to him were baffled.

courtesy of louisville sports information SENORISE PERRY stepped into a starter’s role for the 4-0 Cardinals this season. The former special teams ace now leads Louisville in rushing yards and yards per carry. yards to complement his rushing totals.

With Bridgewater at the helm, the importance of passing in the Louisville offense is not going away any time soon. But with Big East play coming up, a balance of throwing and running is important for any team that aspires to play a BCS game in January.

If Perry can continue to prove he deserves to be a major conference runner, the Cardinals

won’t have much concern regarding the ground attack as conference play ensues. Still, Perry knows that continuous improvement is critical if the team hopes to reach its full potential.

“Expectations are going to continue to go up,” Perry said. “We just can’t buy into complacency. We have to go out and play like the team we know we can be, and execute.”

“I’m not going to lie to you about why I left,” Yelin said. “But I was retiring from Louisville, not from volleyball.”

Yelin wouldn’t say why he left the program, but he knew he would be coming back to the game.

The coach initially planned to take a season off before getting back into coaching. But Stephanie Cantway, a two-year captain at Louisville who joined his staff as an assistant coach at Louisville, knew he couldn’t stay away for long.

“He’s like a Michael Jordan or a Brett Favre that couldn’t stay away,” said Cantway, who is now an assistant at SU. “When you’re used to it, you want to come back and you want to win.”

Cantway said Yelin’s honesty in talking to his players and staff is part of what creates a winning atmosphere. As a player and a coach, it was sometimes tough for Cantway to handle.

“He’s open and honest right away,” Cantway said. “It’s not necessarily the politically correct thing to do, but in the long run it works.”

Kritza, who had just finished her first year as head coach at Colorado, gave Yelin a call and asked him to join her staff for the 2011 season.

“Truth be told, there were really two head coaches,” Kritza said. “He knew how to run a program better than I did. He was coaching when I was still playing.”

Yelin wanted to be a head coach again after

his season at Colorado.

In October 2011, Syracuse fired longtime head coach Jing Pu. Looking for a replacement, SU athletic director Daryl Gross called Yelin and asked him to interview. Yelin was offered the job in December, and he accepted it.

Penn State head coach Russ Rose has known Yelin since his early days at Louisville and called Gross in support of him. Rose said Yelin’s toughness on his players and loyalty strengthened his program for 15 years.

“He’s an acquired taste. It’s going to be kids who can handle someone getting in their kitchen a little bit and telling them to work hard,” Rose said. “He can push his athletes hard, but at the end of the day, they know he’s got their backs.”

His mean-teacher approach to coaching has yielded results in two decades leading college programs. While some of his lessons haven’t hit home yet as the Orange has endured an up-anddown start to the season, he’s aiming to instill that same winning mentality he did at Barry and Louisville.

“Trying hard and losing is not enough,” Yelin said. “When you go into a business, they hire you; they know you’re trying but not getting the job done, you’re going to be asked to leave. That’s what I’m trying to teach them.”

Anghel moves into 2nd place on Orange’s all-time shutout list

By Josh Hyber STAFF WRITER

Brittany Anghel stood exhausted on the field at S.B. Ballard Stadium in Norfolk, Va., after a hard-fought, double-overtime draw against Old Dominion. It was Aug. 22, 2010, and the freshman goalkeeper had just recorded her first career shutout at Syracuse.

Anghel, now a junior, recorded her 15th career shutout last Sunday in SU’s 1-0 victory over Cincinnati.

“Just the feeling of denying other teams, especially when they have good forwards who have been scoring a lot,” Anghel said, “it’s a great feeling to shut them out and to make saves in opportune times.”

The shutout against the Bearcats moved her into second place on the program’s all-time shutouts list, five behind Eliza Bennett-Hattan (2006-2009). Anghel has five wins for the Orange (5-4-2), and as wins

outside the box, giving the visiting team a 1-0 advantage.

Murrell and Thomas provided offense at important moments on Tuesday afternoon.

“It’s nice that we’ve been able to share the goals around a little bit,” McIntyre said. “Today we had two of our defenders scoring, which alleviates some of the pressure on the forward players.”

Murrell and Thomas also anchored a Syracuse defense that prevented UMass from attempting any shots on goal.

Alex Bono returned to the field after a onegame absence following a red card against Cal

continue to come and Anghel advances in the record book, the shutouts stand out in her 48 career games.

One shutout the goalkeeper cherishes came toward the end of her freshman season in a home game against Rutgers. It was raining throughout the match, and the Orange needed a win to continue its push toward a Big East tournament berth.

Anghel recorded eight saves against one of the Big East’s top teams, and the game remained scoreless late into the second half. With less than four minutes to go, SU’s Tina Romagnuolo sealed a victory on what coach Phil Wheddon called a “world-class goal.”

“It was an emotional game,” Anghel said.

“Just the whole thing was a good experience.”

Anghel recorded five shutouts during her freshman season. Her seven shutouts as a sophomore was one shy of the SU single-season record.

She credits SU’s defense and coaching staff for

her success. Wheddon, who is the only coach to ever work for both the men’s and women’s national programs, has been instrumental to Anghel’s growth.

“Phil just really knows his stuff,” Anghel said.

“He knows how to get the most out of us. Sometimes we’ll have really tough training sessions where we’re getting scored on left and right, but you just have to pick your head up and keep going.

“He really trains us to fight through those hard times and come out with a save when it really counts.”

Wheddon has worked with U.S. senior national team goalkeeper Hope Solo. Now he has seen Anghel develop into a player competing on the national stage as a member of the Under-23 team.

“Brittany’s done a tremendous job,” Wheddon said. “Not only does it speak volumes about the way she’s playing, but it speaks volumes about the way we’ve been defending. Our back

State Fullerton, but the goalie wasn’t seriously challenged.

Senior Mark Brode also played for the first time since Sept. 3 when he helped the Orange rout Colgate, 6-0.

Brode played 50 minutes on Tuesday, which is the most he’s amassed all season. He has been recuperating from a fractured finger that kept him sidelined for weeks.

McIntyre said it was great to see Brode back out on the field and playing substantial minutes.

“We’ve got such a young team that it was very pleasing to have a senior go out there and settle things down,” McIntyre said. “I’m delighted for him because he’s been a big part of our team on and off the field.”

While Bono and Brode returned for Syra-

cuse, senior forward Lars Muller missed his second straight game. McIntyre said Muller is getting treatment on a groin injury.

McIntyre said he hopes Muller will be ready to go when the Orange faces Cincinnati on Saturday night.

McIntyre said Cincinnati is a very athletic and technically sound opponent, and that his team is in for a challenge in its first Big East road game. Despite the difficult matchup, McIntyre believes his players will be ready for yet another road game.

“We’re a team that’s shown resilience to go on the road and get results,” McIntyre said.

“Now we’re gonna need those same results as we go on the road in conference play.” tbhass@syr.edu

four has been very good all year long.”

A backline led by Kayla Afonso, Taylor Hanelin, Jackie Moriarty and Skylar Sabbag has been the backbone of the team. The group’s play has translated to victories and supported Anghel’s impressive play.

Anghel brings a cool demeanor to the back end and takes a low-key approach. Sabbag didn’t even know about Anghel’s shutout record until she was asked about it on Tuesday.

“She’s been doing so well,” Sabbag said.

“Ever since she got here she keeps improving and she deserves every bit of that. Hopefully she’ll be able to get first place soon.”

The goalkeeper knows the individual accolades will come with team success.

“I think most of it is a testament to our program,” Anghel said. “I have a great team in front of me.” jmhyber@syr.edu

SU beats UMass in road game STAFF WRITER

Yelin brings intense style to SU volleyball STAFF WRITER

eonid Yelin traded volleyball for perfume.

For the first time in years, he wasn’t involved in the sport.

Instead he was selling perfume in a Burdines department store in Miami.

Yelin, an Uzbekistan native, knew so little English that he could barely make a sale or operate a cash register.

It wasn’t until a chance conversation with a customer that he would find his way back to the sport. A local lawyer with connections to volleyball asked about his background once he heard Yelin’s accent. In broken English, Yelin explained that he was a former volleyball coach.

The customer handed Yelin a phone number, and the perfume salesman secured his first coaching job in the United States with a traveling club team. Yelin would never be out of volleyball again.

Now in his fifth coaching job in the United States, Yelin inherits a Syracuse program in 2011 that has struggled to establish consistency in the Big East. His diverse life experiences, passion for the game and disciplined approach has pushed his teams to national prominence during his 21-year coaching career. Yelin is trying to impose his demanding coaching style on the Orange as it looks to take a step forward.

“When you have the nice guy with the easy class you don’t get knowledge,” Yelin said. “You’re going to hate the guy that’s tough sometimes, but later you’ll appreciate him as a person.”

the daily orange

sam maller | staff photographer LEONID YELIN took over a stagnant Syracuse program after a successful run at Louisville. The Uzbekistan native won 366 games with the Cardinals and hopes to build another winner with the Orange.

Yelin has honed that coaching style over his long career. But his start in coaching was an accident.

While he was stuck in a monthlong gap between playing for professional teams in Uzbekistan, a representative from a state-run sport school approached him and asked if he would help with the girl’s volleyball team for the month.

“I stayed for a couple months to try to figure out what I wanted to do, and it started going really well,” Yelin said. “And here I am 30 years later.”

His coaching career was a success in Europe, but he took a brief break from coaching when he moved to the United States in 1989. He said he looked for work in a magazine, spent time laying tile for a hospital and served as a deliveryman for Pizza Hut before getting the job at Burdines.

That’s where the chance encounter

led him back to volleyball.

He guided the club team to a national tournament it rarely qualified for previously. Soon after, Yelin received interest from Division-II Barry University, and the suburban Miami school hired him in 1991. Yelin stayed and guided Barry to the 1995 Division-II national championship.

Then Louisville called. The school was looking for a new head volleyball coach.

But Yelin was reluctant to leave Barry.

The Catholic university was friendly and welcoming. But his desire to coach at a bigger program made the opportunity with the Cardinals intriguing.

“The athletic director asked what they could do to keep me,” Yelin said. “I said we could move to Division I and I’ll stay.”

Yelin accepted the job at Louisville in 1996 and went on to post a 366-112 record

RAISING THE BAR Leonid Yelin brought 21 years of coaching experience to Syracuse when he took over the program last December.

Here’s a look at some highlights in the head coach’s career: • Played for Uzbekistan men’s team from 1970-75 • Led Division-II Barry University to national championship in 1995 • 366-112 record in 15 seasons at Louisville • Guided Cardinals to 14 NCAA tournament appearances • Assistant coach at Colorado in 2011

All season, Ian McIntyre has placed emphasis on urging his team to keep fighting and add a SYRACUSE 2 second goal to separate itself UMASS 0 from opponents. The Syracuse head coach has often watched his defense have to stave off late comeback attempts in nail-biting games.

The Orange finally gave itself a cushion late in its game on Tuesday against Massachusetts in Amherst, Mass. Skylar Thomas scored in the 76th minute to propel Syracuse (8-2, 1-0) to a 2-0 win over the Minutemen (3-4-2, 0-0). Thomas received a pass from Jordan Murrell and took a shot on goal. After his first attempt dinged off the post, he retrieved his own miss and beat the goalie, icing the game for the Orange.

“When that second goal went in, it gave us a little cushion and we did a good job finishing the game,” McIntyre said in a phone interview.

SU outshot UMass 16-4 and attempted 10 corner kicks compared to none for the Minutemen.

McIntyre said his team came out aggressive from the get-go and put constant pressure on UMass.

He said the game wasn’t pretty at times, but the Orange found a way to nullify the Minutemen’s attempts on goal while SU’s offense found the back of the net.

“We were good,” McIntyre said. “Especially in the first half I thought we really pushed ourselves and negated UMass’ opportunities. It’s very important on the road to not sit back and to attack.”

Murrell started the attack for the Orange with a goal in the 17th minute on a left-footed strike from

Orange voted No. 1 team in national poll for 2nd time in program history

By Phil D’Abbraccio STAFF WRITER

For the second time in program history, the Syracuse field hockey team (9-0) is No. 1 in the nation in the Division I Coaches Poll, which was released Tuesday.

The Orange had been ranked

second in the country for the past three weeks after the team’s Sept. 1 overtime win over then-No. 2 North Carolina. This promoted ranking came after a pair of shutout victories in New Jersey, including a 2-0 win over No. 3 Princeton on Sunday.

Aside from defeating two topthree teams in the country in UNC

and Princeton, Syracuse has defeated the two other ranked opponents it has faced — then-No. 24 New Hampshire and No. 12 Boston.

Ange Bradley’s squad received 25 first-place votes in this week’s poll.

The Tar Heels (9-1) received 22 firstplace votes and dropped one spot in the rankings to second. Princeton

(7-1) and Maryland (7-1) retained their No. 3 and No. 4 rankings, respectively.

Connecticut is the only other remaining undefeated team in the nation at 9-0, and the Huskies received one first-place vote and maintained their rank at No. 5.

This is the Orange’s first time at the top of the rankings since Oct. 14, 2008,

when the team was 14-0 and the only undefeated team in the country. That team, also coached by Bradley, finished 22-2 overall and reached the Final Four.

Syracuse looks to extend its 32-game winning streak at J.S. Coyne Stadium this weekend, hosting No. 25 Louisville on Saturday and Yale on Sunday. pmdabbra@syr.edu
