SU Abroad adds center in Turkey, expands program to eight regions

By Andrew Swab STAFF WRITER

Erika Wilkens-Sozen was studying for her master’s degree at Syracuse University when she met a young man from Turkey. The two eventually decided to take a trip back to Turkey together.

“We spent time in Istanbul, where he showed me his favorite haunts, as well as took a trip to one of the gorgeous village resort areas on the coast of Turkey,” Wilkens-Sozen said.

After the visit, not only did Wilkens-Sozen fall in love with the rolling countryside of Turkey, she fell in love with the Turkish student, who is now her husband.

Wilkens-Sozen is the first director

of SU Abroad’s newest center in Istanbul, Turkey. Based out of Bahçeehir University, where her husband is a professor, the new center will offer students a chance to learn about a crossroads of culture and politics first-hand.

“You see veiled and unveiled women walking side by side in the streets,” said Mehrzad Boroujerdi, the director of the Middle Eastern studies program at SU. “You see a citizenry that has become more confident about their role in global politics, thanks to their flourishing economy.”

Istanbul, a city of more than 12 million people, is located on the southern

This year’s Shack-A-Thon had the largest student turnout since the annual event began in 2008, attracting more than last year’s 200 participants.

“For the past three days, we have seen hundreds of students participating,” said Maureen Finn, co-coordinator of this year’s event and sophomore public communications major. “While some came to help out during the day, a lot of the students spent the nights in the shacks.”

Finn said the exact number of participants was not available, but she had definitely seen a few hundred at the event, which took place from Wednesday through Friday.

Work-study funding cut by 20 percent

By Erin Scialabba CONTRIBUTING WRITER

On the first day of classes, Georgie Martinez went to Archbold Gymnasium to figure out his work schedule.

Instead, Martinez found out he had been fired.

“They took me off the listserv without telling me,” said Martinez, a senior in the College of Human Ecology.

Martinez, the father of a 3-yearold daughter, had lost his Federal Work-Study award after having Work-Study his entire college career.

This year, Syracuse University earned about 20 percent less WorkStudy funding than previous years, said Youlonda Copeland-Morgan,

HOW MUCH IS WORK-STUDY DOWN FOR 2010?

• SU earned about 20 percent less Federal Work-Study funding than previous years • An extra $600,000 allocated to Federal Work-Study in 2009 accounts for the difference • Estimated total cost of the 2010 - 2011 academic year: $51,960 • Estimated total cost of the 2010 - 2011 academic year for international students: $55,326 Source: syr.edu

associate vice president for enrollment management and director of scholarships and student aid. The cut, coupled with the loss of stimulus funds, caused SU to deny the money to some students who had previously received the award.

“The biggest reason why students are seeing a cut is because last year,

we got an extra $600,000 from the stimulus package, the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act,” Copeland-Morgan said.

The entire $600,000 was allocated to the Work-Study program, a financial aid initiative aimed to help students pay tuition through part-time

Peace talks lack clear path

The freeze on Jewish settlement construction in the West Bank ended on Sunday, leaving American officials looking for a way to continue peace talks, according to The New York Times. Settlers celebrated by pouring cement, releasing balloons and making speeches about Jewish rights and the racism of a policy that only keeps Jews from building. Officials have asked Benjamin Netanyahu, the prime minister of Israel, to extend the 10-month moratorium, but now that the deadline has passed, the extension does not look likely, according to The New York Times. Palestinians said they would not negotiate if construction continued. Some suggested building should only continue on settlements Israel would keep, but Palestinians said agreements on the border should be made first, according to The New York Times.

Miners start training for rescue

Nearly two months after the San Jose mine collapsed in Chile and trapped 33 miners, training for the next stage of the rescue mission has begun, according to The Washington Post. The miners are training via video conference by walking and jogging in groups through two kilometers of tunnels.

They will also prepare to stand immobile for an hour. The miners will be rescued using a torpedoshaped rescue capsule known as “The Phoenix.�

The first of three rescue capsules was delivered over the weekend to start testing. The miners will be rescued in three groups: the able, the weak and the strong, in that order. If the plan fails, the miners will have to climb ladders for hundreds of feet, according to The Washington Post.

brandon weight | staff photographer Chancellor nancy cantor tells members of the Syracuse University community they should help revitalize Syracuse during an address on Family Weekend in a nearly full Joyce Hergenhan Auditorium.

Reviving Syracuse into a prosperous city is the responsibility of Syracuse University students and faculty, Chancellor Nancy Cantor said Saturday in a speech on SU’s role as an anchor for the community.

“We are a place-based institution,” Cantor said. “We’re talking about connections, talking about a two-way street between this institution and its place.”

Cantor and five SU staff members spoke to a nearly full auditorium of students and parents during Family Weekend in the Joyce Hergenhan Auditorium on “Education for the World, In the World: Syracuse University as an Anchor Institution.” The event unveiled the efforts in the community led by SU faculty and students, as well as a plan to increase community involvement in the future.

Cantor said the university’s motto of Scholarship in Action involves making a difference in the community right away, while learning at the same time.

SU and Syracuse heavily influence each other, meaning the university affects the entire community, Cantor said. In turn, SU has a key role in making Syracuse a prosperous city again, she said.

“Art, technology and design all can contribute to the rebirth of an urban center like Syracuse,” Cantor said.

Through these contributions, as well as through education, SU has stepped up to improve the community. Cantor said there is a way for see cantor page 4

Casual dating website for students to debut Tuesday

By Leah Rocketto Contributing Writer

Jon Vincent always felt the college dating scene was fun, but a bit difficult.

“It’s tough to find the time to meet new people,” Vincent said. “So you end up hanging out with and dating people you already know.”

So in 2007, Vincent thought of the idea for Kikini, a free dating website for college students. Kikini will launch on Tuesday.

Vincent was working at Microsoft in 2007 and gathered five of his closest co-workers and friends to

work on creating Kikini. The team approached Kikini as a social networking website. By making it less clinical and more casual, Vincent said the team was able to focus on its main goal — making a dating site that’s fun and free.

Vincent said Kikini is a place for college students to go to meet others.

“In college, it’s not about finding the perfect person,” Vincent said.

“It’s about meeting lots of different people.”

Vincent and his staff also wanted an easy-to-use website, so users don’t have to take tests or create an exten-

sive resume to find someone, he said.

To start, users must register for a profile. To keep Kikini a collegeonly website, users must have a .edu address, said Rachel Vincent, the website’s co-founder and Jon’s sister.

Once the student has registered, he or she must upload a photo. After the photo has been approved, the student can then “tag” his or her likes and dislikes. The student can search other profiles in hopes of finding someone to go on a date with.

But the search isn’t solely up to the student. Kikini’s creators developed several algorithms that are able

to make date suggestions for users.

The algorithms pair users by age, location and pattern recognitions, such as who someone looks at, who someone flirts with and who shares interests with someone, Rachel said.

Rachel said she encourages all students to give the website a shot and provide any feedback.

“Take a risk and just give it a try,” Rachel said.

Rebecca Kaplan, a junior economics major, said she thinks the website will work because it’s different from other dating websites. see dating page 4

everyone to contribute.

“The question is: How do I plug in? How can I make a difference?” she said.

The panel discussion of SU faculty addressed the various ways SU has been making a difference.

Steve Davis, chair of the newspaper and online journalism department at the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications, talked about The Stand, his newspaper on campus that covers Syracuse’s South Side and reports on the

more positive aspects of the community that are usually overlooked.

Davis said The Stand helps break down stereotypes on both sides — those that define

Krashen, professor emeritus at the Rossier School of Education’s language and learning

college students as overprivileged and arrogant and those that define the South Side as dangerous and crime ridden.

Having SU students involved in the community promotes understanding about the city, Davis said.

“Don’t report your stories, experience your stories,” Davis said he tells his writers at The Stand.

University faculty and community members are also being brought together through the Youth Writing Conference, said Marcelle Haddix, an assistant professor at the School of Education.

Last year, the first annual Youth Writing Conference was held to improve literacy in the Syracuse area. Haddix said the second conference would be later this year.

Students have also become involved in the city through programs like the School of Architecture’s work on the Near Westside.

Julia Czerniak, an associate professor of architecture, spoke about one class that spanned three semesters, during which students designed and built a full-size house.

She said students have also worked to beautify the Connective Corridor, which runs from the university past Armory Square. Students competed to redesign the area, and the best entry was put into effect for the corridor.

department at the University of Southern California, will give an address titled “Anything but Reading” at 4:30 p.m. in Katzer Room 347 Hinds Hall as the Center for Digital Literacy’s annual Distinguished Lecture.

Krashen has published more than 350 papers and books on various themes, such as bilingual education and the importance of reading. Small invited him to speak at SU because she said she is an admirer of his work. ww “I am very pleased that he will spend this time on our campus,” she said.

In addition to Monday’s lecture, Krashen will give a speech Tuesday as part of the School of Information Studies’ Brown Bag Lecture Series. Krashen’s second speech will touch on four topics: can reading decrease dementia in older people; are readers boring people; should children be rewarded for reading; and what is the current state of education in the United States?

Small said Krashen’s research focuses on how librarians have a large role in developing children.

The Near Westside has also been a site of “green” construction, said Ed Bogucz, executive director of the Syracuse Center of Excellence and former SU dean of engineering and computer science.

Bogucz stressed sustainability as a key goal for any area, especially an urban one, and talked about From the Ground Up, an initiative to build more environmentally friendly homes in the Near Westside.

For students, becoming involved in the community is vital for their success, said Shiu-Kai Chin, a professor of electrical engineering and

computer science.

Chin, who was the final speaker on the panel, said students cannot buy or create more time, and they should work toward understanding and becoming involved in the community as soon as possible.

To advise students, Chin quoted NASA Lt. Col. Eileen Collins, an SU alumna and the first woman to command a space shuttle.

“The secret to success is competence,” he said. “Know your mission, know your job, know your people.” spcotter@syr.edu

“The recent cutting of librarians, libraries and library programs presents a serious threat to the quality of education for our children,” Small said. “My own research and that of many others provide evidence of the critical role of libraries and librarians in K-12 student learning, particularly in the area of reading development and literacy.” tadoychi@ syr.edu

DATING FROM PAGE 3

Kaplan said she thinks there are two types of dating websites: the serious, marriage sites like eHarmony and Match.com, and the joking, casual sites like Zooks and Spin the Bottle.

Kaplan said she thinks Kikini will be a balance between the two, appealing to college students.

Kaplan said she thinks the main draw to Kikini is it is not focused on finding “the one,” but just the one to hang out with on the weekend.

Most college students are “looking to have some non-binding fun,” she said.

Alexis Madison, an undeclared freshman in College of Human Ecology, said she thinks many college students were looking to try different experiences. But the more she thought about it, the more she was drawn to it.

“It’s kind of difficult to meet people at college,” Madison said. “Having a way to casually meet people and see where it goes is a good idea.”

Madison has had difficulties meeting people because she is not into the stereotypical party scene, she said. She said she thinks the website would be beneficial to her, allowing her to find someone who thinks similarly to her.

“In college, it’s not about finding the perfect person....It’s about meeting lots of different people.”

Jon Vincent

CREATOR OF FREE COLLEGE DATING WEBSITE KIKINI

While Ian Carlino, a sophomore magazine journalism major, said he has not had trouble meeting people at SU, he said he can understand why Kikini would be beneficial.

“It seems useful for shy people who aren’t sure of their place,” Carlino said.

He said he thinks the website will work because it reaches out to a different audience.

“It’s a good idea, seeing as there is nothing like it out there,” Carlino said. “And it’s attracting an audience that is willing to listen.” lmrocket@syr.edu

Decoding British pronunciation difficult, entertaining

L

ONDON—If you understand “Roon up they ahpples and grahb some beys, we’re ruhnning out of bayrd” — or rather, “Run up the apples and grab some bees, we’re running out of bird” — you will have absolutely no problem beating the language barrier prominent in the United Kingdom.

Technically there is no language barrier, considering our cousins across the pond are also fond of the English language. But technicalities aside, their English is by no means our English.

Beneath the endearing British accent is a mess of language mutilation that might as well constitute this island’s language as something straight out of Chewbacca’s furry mouth.

Between deep accents similar to the first quoted sentence of this article and a centuries-old phenomenon called rhyme slang exemplified in both quotes, the language barrier in the U.K. is nothing short of gargantuan.

Americans tend to associate British accents with sophistication and proper manners, which is certainly how the entertainment industry has chosen to showcase it. Think Spice Girls or Lindsay Lohan (pre-cocaine addiction) in “The Parent Trap.”

Those accents, however, are far from typical of the everyday Brit.

While grabbing coffee at my local Starbucks, the woman behind the counter asked, “Would you fancy anything else?” Fairly standard question. However, allow me to rephrase.

What she really asked was, “Wooyd yer fahn-say eh-nay-fin eylss?”

My under-caffeinated brain took that to mean, “Word’s your pants, they are nothing else.”

Well, how dare you talk about my pants? And yes, you’re quite correct, British barista: They are nothing else, just standard pants.

After repeating herself two times, I finally got the gist that she was saying something about my order and not my attire.

If it’s not the accent that digs the hole of dissimilarity, it’s the British lexicon itself. For example, rhyme slang, as exemplified in the beginning of the article.

If you’ve seen the film “Green

a pint a day Street Hooligans” (and if you haven’t, you should drop this article right now and go watch it — really, go), you’ve had a taste of this playful language adaptation. To achieve rhyme slang, take a well-known phrase or reference, rhyme the second part of it with a common word, and use the first part of the phrase synonymously with the common word.

Suddenly I feel unsophisticated with my American canon of “abreevs.”

Short crash course: apples and pears = stairs, but is referred to as apples; bees and honey= money, referred to as bees; bird and lime = time — well, I trust you’re catching the flow of things.

So if you ever visit London and hear something along the lines of, “He loves to get in bulls when he’s Brahms,” you might want to go to a different pub because the man described likes to fight when he’s intoxicated (bull and cow = row, or a fight; Brahms and Liszt = pissed, or drunk).

Besides the complex and beloved art of rhyme slang, the words used here are just different. The crosswalk is a zebra, the elevator is a lift, the sidewalk is called pavement. No, it really doesn’t get any more literal.

I don’t feel so badly about my “abreevs” anymore. At least Americans are creative enough to call the place they park the driveway and the place they drive the parkway. Take that, you literal cheeky Brits.

Just remember, if you’re going to scarper to the U.K., make sure to rabbit like the locals and to wear your weasel. I’ll let you figure that out on your own.

SU Abroad has already received at least 10 applications and has met with more than 100 students in information sessions, said Sue Shane, director of programs for SU Abroad.

Applications for studying in the spring 2011 semester are due Oct. 11.

The creation of the program was initiated

by Chancellor Nancy Cantor’s idea to create more diverse SU Abroad options besides Western Europe, Shane said. The director of SU’s Strasbourg program, professor Raymond Bach, envisioned a new program in Istanbul, and in 2009, Wilkens-Sozen came on board as the director of the program.

Humanity coordinated the event.

The 12 student organizations that participated, which included SU greek life and student clubs, set up shacks made of plywood on the Quad Wednesday afternoon and stayed there until Friday afternoon. Finn said this year was the first time each of the 12 shacks sponsored in the event remained occupied overnight.

The money raised will go toward a house the SU/ESF chapter is constructing on Gifford Street, located in Syracuse’s Near Westside neighborhood. Finn said the organizations that

“Shack-A-Thon is essentially the kick-off event for our fundraising efforts,” Finn said.

Nicole Attaie, who participated in this year’s event for the first time with DanceWorks, said she enjoyed being a part of the event and would participate again in the future.

“It was a lot of fun,” said Attaie, a sophomore television, radio and film and entrepreneurship and emerging enterprises major. “It’s a great way to help underprivileged people while bonding with other students.”

The event concluded after a press conference at 2 p.m. on Friday, during which Peter

Rumsey, director of National Service at Habitat for Humanity International, addressed ShackA-Thon participators.

Rumsey commended SU/ESF’s Habitat for Humanity chapter for its outstanding effort.

The chapter was recognized last year as one of the top three Habitat for Humanity campus chapters in the United States for 2010-11.

“The Syracuse University chapter has a great student presence,” Rumsey said. “This is a vibrant and exceptional group.”

Suzanne Williams, executive director at Syracuse Habitat for Humanity, also spoke at Friday’s press conference, speaking of the chapter’s efforts with gratitude.

“This group is the only Habitat for Humanity supporter we have that is able to raise funds for an entire house,” Williams said. “I couldn’t be more proud.”

She said Habitat for Humanity hopes to build four or five houses by the end of next year, and she is confident the SU/ESF chapter will be a significant force in achieving this goal.

The press conference concluded with words from Tom Wolfe, senior vice president of student affairs at SU, who spoke about the effects of Shack-A-Thon on the student population.

of only a handful of American colleges operating programs in Istanbul, Shane said.

The price of airfare varies from $800 to $1,300, while the program cost is about $5,700, which includes field study trips and rent for furnished dorm suites complete with modern, western appliances. The new center in Istanbul would be about $1,000 cheaper than some other study abroad options, Shane said.

Shane traveled to the center in June as a part of SU Abroad.

“I was stunned,” she said. “It’s just an incredibly magical and beautiful place.”

What struck her most was Bahçeehir University’s position right on the Bosporus and that both ancient stone and hyper-modern glass buildings mingled side by side in Istanbul, she said.

“It’s a country that will really play a pivotal role for the next generation,” Shane said. “It’s kind of custom-made for international relations students.” ajswab@syr.edu

“One of the things I love about this event is that it raises very significant questions within anyone who passes the quad.”

“One of the things I love about this event is that it raises very significant questions within anyone who passes the Quad,” Wolfe said.

“With this display of shacks, you can’t ignore the issue.”

Hannah Messinger said she was impressed by the spark of interest the display of shacks caused to all that had passed by.

“You can’t avoid it, people were always asking questions,” said Messinger, a senior public relations and psychology major who participated in this year’s event. “The best part is word of mouth — this is a great way to get the issues of poverty out there.” adhitzle@syr.edu

ESF professors to discuss land rights of Onondaga nation

By Jess Siart

J

STAFF WRITER

ack Manno became involved with land rights of the Onondaga Nation after an Onondaga midwife assisted in the birth of his son.

Manno, a professor of environmental science at the State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry, will hold a lecture Oct. 4 about the founding constitution of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy and The Great Law of Peace, which brought together several Native American groups, including Onondaga people, in the 10th century.

His lecture is part of a wider lecture series, called The Onondaga Land Rights and Our Common Future II series, to educate New York residents about the Onondaga Nation’s history, culture and efforts to reclaim aboriginal land.

The series began Sept. 24 and will end Dec. 6, with five events throughout the series. Along with ESF, Syracuse University and other area universities will provide fi nancial support for the events.

The Great Law of Peace, which Manno is focusing on, came after a period of violent warfare among Haudenosaunee people, characterized by blood feuds and revenge killings, Manno said.

Manno said he looks at what kinds of governance systems and institutions are needed to change global economic and political systems to promote environ-

mental health.

“I’ll talk about The Great Law of Peace as an example of what we can do,” he said. “It’s good to put a model out there, especially a model that exists today.”

Some of the other lectures in the overall series will focus on Onondaga Nation’s efforts to regain its native territory.

“When other members of the Iroquois or Haudenosaunee Confederacy had fi led land claim suits in federal courts, there was quite a backlash from the white community,” Manno said.

“So the Neighbors of Onondaga Nation thought it was important to educate people about the Land Rights Action, Onondaga’s intentions and the friendship between indigenous people and the population.”

The nation’s aboriginal territory includes a strip of land that runs vertically through the center of New York, according to the Neighbors of Onondaga Nation, a grassroots organization in Central New York that supports the sovereignty of Onondaga Nation.

The nation fi led the Land Rights Action suit on March 11, 2005, which sought New York’s acknowledgement of Onondaga’s rights to the aboriginal territory. The suit claimed New York violated the U.S. Constitution and the Trade and Intercourse Act of 1790 when the land was taken from the Nation.

“They ask that history be recognized and that the

title of that land was never legally taken,” Manno said.

The Onondaga people were fooled into signing treaties through intimidation, impairment and differing ideas on the concept of property, he said.

“Our notion of property is different from their notion of property,” Manno said. “They believe no one owns the land, you can just use it and respect it according to natural law.”

The suit did not seek to displace anyone living in the area, but requested the defendants clean up environmental damage that has occurred in the area, Manno said.

“What they are asking for will benefit all of us,” Manno said. “They want Onondaga Lake cleaned up, and they want the land cleaned up.”

The state of New York, city of Syracuse, Onondaga County and five corporations were defendants in the suit. The defendants fi led a motion to dismiss the suit entirely Aug. 15, 2006.

Last Wednesday, the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals in Albany ruled in favor of the defendants’ case to dismiss the suit, due to recent legal precedent.

“The ruling is not devastating, it’s not the end of the story,” Manno said. “The question of native land rights isn’t going to go away.” jlsiart@syr.edu

employment on campus.

University officials said all need-based aid had been met, according an article published in The Daily Orange on Sept. 2. However, Copeland-Morgan said more students are depending on the award and taking advantage of it.

“In addition to that, what we’re seeing is a greater demand for Work-Study,” CopelandMorgan said. “I think, as the cost of going to school continues to increase, students are finding Work-Study is a necessity and not an option anymore.”

Without Work-Study, many undergraduates are compensating with money-saving shortcuts, often to offset textbook and food expenses.

Hannah Warren visited the Office of Financial Aid and Scholarship Programs twice in hopes of qualifying for Work-Study, but never received it. This year, she had to opt for the cheapest meal plan, which includes five meals a week.

“I feel like it’s kind of a lost cause now because I’m a junior,” said Warren, a magazine journalism and women’s studies major.

Outside of her meal plan, Warren tries to find whatever’s cheapest at the grocery store and takes measures to save on textbooks. She entered the third week of the semester one book short.

NEWS@ DA ILYOR A NGE.COM

“I go online, I checked half.com,” Warren said. “I’ve been buying first editions instead of second editions.”

Holleigh McMasters, a sophomore bioengineering major, learned she lost her Work-Study before showing up at her job.

“I wish I had it now because I would definitely use it if I could,” said McMaster, now a resident adviser.

“I try to use the meal plan I have from being an RA, which sucks because I hate the dining hall,” she said.

The books for her organic chemistry class cost more than $400, and McMasters entered the third week of classes without having bought the textbooks.

“I’m just waiting as long as I can to get them,” she said.

Juan Lombert, a junior pre-med student, also lost his job to this year’s Work-Study cuts.

Lombert purchased a meal plan to save money, even though he said he’d prefer to eat out.

“I’m abusing the dining halls,” Lombert said. “I go in there and eat and take out a tray, as well. And it sucks because the food is horrible.”

Copeland-Morgan said the university is trying to help, and though Work-Study funding suffered, federal funding for financial grants and loans has increased. SU has benefited from the Federal Pell Grant Program, the largest federal grant program in the nation, CopelandMorgan said. The university is paying for some students’ tuition in full, even though SU cut

“I’m trying to get a job now but everyone’s saying no because I don’t have work-study. We’re students, and our parents have low income, and we need some type of income to live on.”

students’ Work-Study.

But federal grants can’t help an entire student body.

“Pell Grants benefit the lower and lowermiddle income students more than it does the middle and upper income students,” CopelandMorgan said. “So that’s not going to be a solution to that population.”

Copeland-Morgan said there are employment opportunities for those who are denied Work-Study money. But some students said they have faced difficulties in trying to find an alternative job. Many on-campus jobs are hard to get because they require Work-Study. And off-campus jobs are hard to balance with a full class schedule.

“I’m trying to get a job now, but everyone’s saying no because I don’t have Work-Study,” Lombert said. “We’re students, and our parents have low income, and we need some type of income to live on.”

Despite his full ride, Martinez said he strug-

gles to support his 3-year-old daughter without the help of Work-Study income. Off-campus employers hesitate to hire students due to their limited hours of availability, Martinez said.

And finals week proves even more challenging.

“Jobs off campus don’t understand (finals week). It’s really more business,” Martinez said.

Despite many students losing their WorkStudy, hundreds of students still benefit from the program. When Hannah Nelson, a sophomore communications design major, needed help finding a job, she met with an advisor.

“I went to the financial aid office, and they were actually really nice,” Nelson said. She was awarded Work-Study a few days after the meeting and started working at Food.com in the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications just days later.

“They gave me six and a half hours a week, and that’s all I wanted,” she said.

Breanna Kelly, a senior in the College of Arts and Sciences, said she has never once had a problem with the Office of Financial Aid. Kelly has had Work-Study all four years and works 16 hours a week for the Blinker Deli in Huntington Beard Crouse Hall.

“The max is 20,” she said. “I’m sure if I wanted to go over a little bit, they wouldn’t mind letting me.”

But for those who don’t qualify, the financial aid office offers more than financial aid and scholarship programs. Loan Education Specialist Rebecca Rose spearheaded SU’s “I Otto Know This!” program, designed to help students learn to better manage their money.

Free online modules teach students life skills, such as budgeting, credit card dangers and identity theft prevention. Professors may also ask Rose to come into their classes and talk to students. The program focuses on making smarter spending choices to prevent bad credit and debt.

“It’s a program for everybody. It’s for our graduate students, our undergraduate students, our University College students and our law students,” Rose said. “We’re here as a service for the students, whether they fi ll out a FASFA or not.”

The financial aid office also continues to add students to the waitlist for Work-Study.

“We’re looking at our funding very, very closely to see if some funds are allocated back to us, and that we can give to the students,” Rose said. “Unfortunately, our hands are tied when the government isn’t replenishing our funding.” ecsciala@syr.edu

Q&A with ‘Straw Dogs’ director

By Sam Littman STAFF WRITER

Filmmaker Rod Lurie continued his tradition of coming to Syracuse University to present his most recent work, “Straw Dogs,” to a large audience Friday night at the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications. A remake of Sam Peckinpah’s controversial 1971 film starring Dustin Hoffman and Susan George, Lurie’s film is just as brutal and certainly holds its own when compared to its predecessor. Here, Lurie talks to The Daily Orange about the process of remaking the film and how his version will be compared to the original picture. To read the full interview, be sure to visit dailyorange.com

The Daily Orange: To be bold: Were you trying to one-up Sam Peckinpah?

Lurie: Nobody, least of all myself, can one-up this master. That was not my ambition. There’s definitely an ambition to try to make a fantastic film, but it would have been a fool’s errand to say you’re going to make a better film than Peckinpah. The truth is Peckinpah is one of the great masters in all of cinema, one of the most imitated directors of all time, and I frankly don’t have the experience, nor do I think the genius, of Sam Peckinpah. He was rather extraordinary in what he was able to create, and he also had balls the size of Texas to make a movie like this.

My vision is a personal one. I’ve had some critical success in my time, but what I would really like to see is a movie that’s regarded as a really wellmade film, but also is a commercial success — and I’m hoping this movie has the opportunity to be both.

Juggling 16 characters, Reenah Golden livens ‘No Child…’

S

What inspired you to remake “Straw Dogs,” a film that is widely considered to be a landmark in cinema?

By Gregory Miller STAFF WRITER

yracuse Stage’s first play of its 2010-11 season, “No Child…” demonstrates the power of a woman in control. Set in a Bronx public high school, the one-woman show dramatically explores the failures of the urban public school system. Yes, one woman.

Reenah Golden plays a cast of 16 different characters, ranging from an ensemble of high school students to an aging janitor. The Where: The Syracuse Stage production revolves around the When: Until Oct. 10 (Check character Nijala Sun, who is based out syracusestage.org for off of the play’s original author of specific times and dates) the same name. The “real” Sun How much: $20, $15 with is an actress who refers to her valid student ID profession of teaching actors as a “teaching artist.” The fictional Sun arrives at Malcom X High, ready to put on a production of Timberlake Wertenbaker’s “Our Country’s Good.” She soon finds out she’ll be working in one of the roughest schools within the nation’s poorest neighborhoods.

“No Child…” first premiered in 2006 when the author, Sun, wrote and starred in an off-Broadway adaptation of her past: working as

Well, “landmark” is the key word here. It’s a more appropriate word than “classic.” First of all, when you have an opportunity to make a film, you take it very seriously. My producing partner, Marc Frydman, came to me and told me he thought he could pick up the rights to “Straw Dogs” for a remake, and at first I thought he was bananas, that we would simply have a bull’s-eye on our backs, regardless of how well the film would be made. And that probably still is the case. But the point is that the film, even if you look at the oeuvre of Sam Peckinpah, is not a classic. In fact, I’ll take it one step further. Let’s say “The Wild Bunch” is church and “Straw Dogs” is state.

And what I mean by that is with “The Wild Bunch,” Peckinpah, in all his

It takes big shoes to fill a role based on a character that an author created out of personal experiences. Add to it the fact that the actor must figure out how to play 16 characters in one show, and the play ends up with one of the most challenging roles in recent American drama.

But Golden shows no trouble with the role.

She seamlessly moves from character to character in a brilliant manner that must have taken extreme dedication to master. Timothy Bond’s direction moves the show along quickly, ending long before it should have, mostly thanks to the diverse characterizations. Golden literally talked to the audience for 75 minutes, but it felt more like 15 — something most one-person shows can’t usually boast.

What makes the show move so quickly is hard to pinpoint. It could be the dialogue between characters, which is a beautiful mix of humor, irreverence and social commentary. Or it could be the staging and lighting, which are so simplistic the audience is left with no choice but to zero in on Golden’s dialogue. It’s most likely the fact that Golden serves not just as an actress, but something of a storyteller, giving the show strong vibes of traditional African oration.

Golden introduces herself to the audience as the janitor, an elderly man who has worked at Malcom X High since the 1950s. Moments later,

she’s Sun. A few moments after that, she’s an entire classroom of students.

Not only does Golden provide a different voice for each and every part, she employs a distinct physical persona for each. When she’s the brash student Shondrika, her voice shifts to a diva tone, her arm circling to the right with sass. When Golden takes on a Hispanic student, Jose, she leans back in her chair and her voice lowers several octaves. The list goes on and on. By the end of the show, the audience has no trouble telling when Shondrika’s about to take stage or when the Russian teacher wants the class to sit down.

But the emphasis of the show is not only on the actor’s style and commitment to the play.

“No Child…” delves into the societal issues regarding education today and raises the question of whether anyone’s really not left behind.

“No Child…” is not another racially driven story — it’s a beautiful and entertaining snapshot of the degradation of one of America’s most prized institutions.

the end of the film. It’s a very rousing finale, I think.

FROM PAGE 9

What do you expect the reaction to be, and what would you say to the skeptics?

genius, created a genre, created something that had never been done before. I think with “Straw Dogs,” he was playing in the same playground as “The Wild Bunch.” Also I think that unlike “The Wild Bunch,” which was very specific to its era and its location, “Straw Dogs” was eminently remakable as a story because it could be moved to the United States and could be set in modern times

I would say, pretend like you haven’t seen the original film and watch this thing as its own entity. It is not the Peckinpah film. It is not a film about the territorial imperative. It is not about man’s genetic proclivity for violence. It’s not about the things that were near and dear to Peckinpah’s heart. It’s about the things that are near and dear to my heart. I took the same tableau, and I’m very grateful to have a genius providing the framework for me. I certainly expect to be assaulted by critics whether they like the film or not because it’s an opportunity to show how smart you are, to show what a cineaste you are, and how well you know Peckinpah. The truth is, I doubt there are many people who know the original “Straw Dogs” as well as I do, that know what Peckinpah’s intentions were, because I’ve read every one of his memos, every casting note, read almost every essay about the film, and if these guys want to go on Jeopardy with me with the category “Straw Dogs,” I’m very happy to go against them.

Did you view the prospect of depicting the brutally violent and sexual aspects of “Straw Dogs” as daunting, or did you embrace the challenge?

Oh, you really embrace that challenge. I’ve not done a lot of action scenes I did in “The Last Castle,” and I used the same stunts and action coordinator, Mic Rodgers. But it’s very difficult to do, and it’s very difficult to see if it’s working because you have to shoot it in pieces. When it comes together, it’s some sort of minor miracle, and for all the testing we’ve done on “Straw Dogs,” the one thing that has always remained unquestionable is how well the siege works at

‘Outsourced’ gets lost in static as stereotypical jokes translate to lazy humor

W

By Kelly Outram STAFF WRITER

ith the kind of Thursday comedy lineup that NBC brings with “Community,” “30 Rock” and “The Office,” viewers should have had high hopes for the newest comedy, “Outsourced.” But once the show actually aired, those hopes were dashed.

The premise should have been golden. Todd Dempsy (Ben Rappaport), a young man on the rise at his call center job at the Kansas Citybased Mid America Novelties, returns from a managerial convention to find that his entire office has been outsourced to India. He has two choices: be unemployed or manage the company in India.

Within the first few minutes of the show, Todd meets his assistant, Rajiiv Gidwani (Rizwan Manji), whose idol worship of his American boss is more pathetic than comical. It gets even worse when Todd walks into his new office. His desk is placed on a stage-like platform resembling the Oval Office, while every other desk in the office sits at his feet.

Todd clearly has his work cut out for him.

His employees aren’t selling the novelty items because they don’t understand their use. Enter cliché pop culture educational session. Todd teaches his employees how to “think like an American.” With a montage reminiscent of Rachael Leigh Cook learning to be cool in “She’s All That,” the employees’ pop culture lesson was trick that’s been recycled time and time again.

By the end of the first episode, a quiet employee has sold her first novelty to an American customer over the phone – rubber poop and fake vomit. Alas, there is hope for the fledgling, seemingly useless call center that has been placed in Mumbai.

The kernels for comedy are there: the fact that the company sells ridiculous items such

as toilet seat-shaped coffee mugs and creepy mini garden gnomes. The whole cross-cultural shock should stand on its own as a good source for legitimate one-liners. But instead of using creativity to really carve out some good jokes and hilarious situations, the writers just get lazy and make obvious, un-funny gaffes.

Yes, he’s American who now works in India.

They have accents and want to learn what hiphop is and he doesn’t understand why he can’t eat a hamburger in his new hometown. Funny?

No. What really makes this show look like a failure, especially next to its fellow NBC comedies, is the fact that the writers don’t attempt to be creative with their material.

They rely on the obvious to be funny, but even in real life these things aren’t fall-overand-laugh quality.

Instead of pushing for legitimately funny situations, the show lazily relies on stereotypes that make the entire product borderline offensive.

Originality and real story lines could save this show. The acting isn’t bad and the concept is possible — the show is based on a 2006 movie of the same name

by John Jeffcoat. Right now “Outsourced” lacks legs to keep pace with all the other well- established comedies. kaoutram@syr.edu

“30 ROCK”

In its sixth season premiere, “30 Rock” sees some changes. Playboy Jack (Alec Baldwin) prepares for fatherhood and adjusts to life cohabitating with Avery; Tracy (Tracy Morgan) has trouble getting used to life without Kenneth (who is now working for the David Letterman Show); Liz (Tina Fey) is now in an adult relationship and deals with her emotions. The show stays funny and relevant with its random humor and pop culture references. Plus, Matt Damon as Carol, Liz’s boyfriend, is always fun to watch in a comedy role. As the characters go through changes the humor and energy remains high, making the sixth season a must-see.

SU weathers obstacles, wins overtime thriller over Louisville

By Ryan Marfurt Staff Writer

For 55 minutes, everything was going right for the Syracuse field hockey team. Despite calls from the referee that caused an Orange player to fall to her knees and a five-minute stretch of being two players down, the Orange found a way louisville 3 to keep a lead for most of game. syracuse 4 theThen after failing to score on a two-man advantage, Louisville finally broke through. With fewer than 15 minutes left to play, Louisville’s Haley Jurich deflected a pass into the top of Syracuse’s net. It broke the tie, and it came just three minutes after SU’s Nicole Nelson was booked for a yellow card.

Ange Bradley called a timeout. Keep competing, she said to a team that had seemingly lost all of its momentum. Don’t get frustrated. The Orange listened and went on to win 4-3 in an overtime thriller.

“As a team, we are able to calm each other down on the field, and we want to set the tone of the game,” senior forward Lindsey Conrad said.

“When things happen, like the yellow cards and the calls not going our way, we just know that we have to step back, calm ourselves down, and we can pick it up from there.”

The Orange took those steps back, and then got back to its game Saturday at J.S. Coyne Stadium in front of a crowd of 389. SU tied the game near the end of regulation and went on to the win as junior midfielder Martina Loncarica buried a shot from the top of the penalty area

just more than 11 minutes into overtime.

Bradley said the close win was something her squad has been in search of, and to finally get the result was a relief.

“Tuesday morning I woke up at 4 a.m. and I said, ‘I’m sick of losing,’” Bradley said.

The Orange jumped out to a 2-0 lead fewer then seven minutes into the contest, drawing three penalty corners to the Cardinals’ none. Freshman midfielder Leonie Geyer scored the first goal off the Orange’s first penalty corner of the day.

Three minutes later, the Orange got on the board again. Conrad took a loose ball from outside the key, went to the front of the net and sent the ball by the outstretched body of her little sister Erin, who was playing goalie for Louisville.

Conrad not only one-upped her little sister with the attempt, but also became SU’s all-time leading goal scorer with the unassisted score.

“It feels amazing,” Conrad said of the recordsetting goal. “This program has so much history, and it’s awesome to be able to compete at that level.”

Tempers started to flare in second half when senior back Maggie Befort was given a yellow card with her team up 2-1. Befort pushed Louisville’s Jurich, and Jurich responded by slashing Befort’s stick out of her hands. Less than a minute later, SU senior forward Shelby Schraden was also given a yellow card, putting the Orange down two players for five minutes.

Though the Orange successfully killed off the penalties, it was the Cardinals that came off with an aggressive edge. Louisville swarmed to

the ball and dominated the game in a similar fashion the Orange had at the start of the match, scoring two goals in a four-minute stretch, forcing Bradley to call a timeout, down 3-2.

Despite being visibly distraught, the team knew what it had to do. Its members had been through too much over the past couple of seasons to think this game was out of hand. Loncarica — who was the one to fall to her knees in disbelief after a penalty corner was called on her and who zipped her mouth shut after a quick outburst at the ref — said having experienced similar situations before helped her team to keep an even keel.

“It’s always going to happen,” Loncarica said. “Sometimes they are going to call for you, sometimes they are not. You just have to play.”

And eventually, as if on cue, the Orange got the break it knew it would get.

After failing to convert on its first two penalty corners in overtime, the Orange made sure its third was the last. After receiving the inbound, Loncarica touched the ball to Geyer, who returned the favor to give Loncarica an open shot at the net.

Loncarica stroked the ball to the back of the net, and the emotions poured out as her teammates tackled her on the spot.

“We had moments of greatness,” Bradley said. “We had moments where we were really unraveled, and we found a way. That’s a huge sign of growth for us. We haven’t done that thus far this season.”

Orange falls to Connecticut in bloody conference battle

By Zuri Irvin Staff Writer

By the time Skylar Sabbag left the field on Sunday, her nose became an innocent bystander after taking an elbow to the face in the closing minutes of the game. It was part of a recurring theme.

“I think their game connecticut 3 plan,” Syracuse freshman syracuse 0 goalie Brittany Anghel said, “was to just plow right through us.”

Knees were iced, noses were bloodied and everyone walked away a little worn out after taking part in the battle that was Syracuse against Connecticut. But in the end, Syracuse’s five-game unbeaten streak was over, and the Huskies handed the Orange a 3-0 loss on Sunday.

The Orange (5-4-3, 2-1-0 Big East) earned four corner kicks in the first half and had four shots, but trailed 2-0 at halftime when mistakes in the back end led to consistent scoring chances for Connecticut (5-4-2, 1-1-1 Big East).

But the 21-9 shot margin in favor of the Huskies doesn’t illustrate how competitive the game really was. Within the first 10 minutes of the match, several players on both sides were hitting the grass, following hard-nosed jersey tugging, feet tangling and battles for possession.

For much of the first half, the mutually aggres-

sive style of play was occasionally penalized, as it seemed as though the referees were making a point to allow the no-nonsense style of soccer.

Rosina Callisto, one of the team’s up-andcoming sophomore midfielders, was not surprised with the pace of the game.

“We knew it was coming,” Callisto said.

“This whole week, we’ve been discussing how hard they were going to come out. We fought hard to the end, so there wasn’t much you can do. But it’s just a little disappointing because we’ve been doing so well lately.”

By the 22nd minute, Megan Bellingham was holding her head and walking off the field gingerly after colliding with a Connecticut defender.

By the 55th minute, defender Cecilia Borgstrom had received her second yellow card of the day, and the undermanned Syracuse defense was finding trouble keeping the Connecticut forwards in front of them.

By the 56th minute, a total of three cards had been handed out, with the officials being booed by fans of both teams.

And by the end of the game, hair was being yanked, players were being blatantly pushed, and neither side cared much about what the score was.

It was like watching a rivalry in the making. “(Connecticut) lost to St. John’s, who we beat

1-0,” senior midfielder Rachel Blum said. “We absolutely knew they were going to come out on fire, wanting to win. … So they wanted revenge.”

Recognizing the initial disadvantage following Borgstrom’s red card, Connecticut’s Angelika Johansson found a seam, pushed forward and barreled through Anghel en route to scoring the game’s final goal.

“I thought I had it in my hands, and then some girl came out of nowhere and plowed me over,” Anghel said. “The referees are supposed to protect the goalkeepers. And I think they should have done a little better job of that. I’m getting bumped, and they’re not giving me any calls. So that’s tough to deal with.”

The red card was not the reason Connecticut won the game, but it did help the Huskies rein-

force an aggressive mentality that led to several counterattacks and goal scoring opportunities.

Connecticut has played Syracuse notoriously tough over the past decade at SU. With the Huskies now holding a 16-0 tilt in the all-time series, several Orange players on this year’s team recognize if they were ever going to punch back their Big East bullies, this could be the year.

Syracuse certainly did not play like it is capable of it on Sunday. But at least in the eyes of head coach Phil Wheddon, the team played admirably. And now, throughout the rest of Big East play, it will have to learn to punch back.

“Yes, it was physical, but it was physical on both sides,” Wheddon said. “I’m proud of the fact that we didn’t back down.”

following its bye week, there are still too many question marks about this team to be overly optimistic.

It’s tough to take the Akron game seriously, despite the fact that it was arguably SU’s most complete performance of the season because of how Akron has struggled since. Beating the Zips 29-3 doesn’t look so impressive all of sudden now that Akron has fallen to 0-4, including a 38-37 overtime loss to Gardner Webb of the FCS. “They have a tough task ahead of themselves, seeing a little bit of different schemes than they saw during the week,” Marrone said of his players and staff. “If we don’t continue to get better, then we’re going to struggle. If we continue to get better, we’ll be fine.”

Heading into the bye week, Marrone’s statement really sums up the state of this team. If Syracuse does not improve, it will struggle against tougher, faster, more skilled opponents.

The last time SU started 3-1, it lost its next game, 51-7, to Virginia Tech, before finishing the season just 6-6. If the Orange wants to see a different fate, it must take these next two weeks and improve.

Unfortunately, because of the quality of opponents SU has beaten, we won’t know exactly how good this team is, or can be, until its trip to Tampa.

Which makes this upcoming matchup with USF all the more intriguing. It should be our first real glimpse into whether or not all the optimism after a 3-1 start is warranted.

from page 20

at times, what will happen in conference? Four weeks into the season, these are the questions that can still legitimately be asked.

Doug Marrone acknowledged as much Saturday. He’ll be the first to tell you he’s not content with where his team is, despite its record.

“We just have to get better technically,” Marrone said. “More sound, making tackles, not missing tackles, finishing blocks on the offensive line. We’re looking at it more from a fundamental standpoint. Do we have the scheme to play well the rest of the year? Absolutely. … (But) from a technical standpoint, we need to get better.”

This isn’t something that’s oblivious to the Syracuse players. Four games in, SU’s players haven’t once professed to have played a perfect game. They haven’t once said they’re completely content with where they are as a team.

Sure, SU has taken care of the three inferior teams on its schedule. At times, the Orange looked really impressive, too. But it doesn’t say whether or not the Orange can compete with the big boys in the Big East. As linebacker Marquis Spruill said Saturday, “South Florida isn’t Colgate.”

And because of that, we really don’t know whether or not this team is legit. After watching Syracuse struggle during the first half against Maine and allowing the Colgate offense to consistently move the ball Saturday, it’s difficult to know what to think. Though Syracuse should be positive heading into Big East play

Flurry of missed chances leads Orange to tie with Panthers

By Allison Guggenheimer Staff Writer

Opportunity after opportunity was created.

Some seemed perfect. Goals probably should have been scored.

But they all missed, including perhaps the Syracuse men’s soccer team’s clearest chance pittsburgh 0 at a goal, thanks to Nick The minutesyracuse 0 Roydhouse. long buildup reflected the entire 110 minutes. When it was over, the lost chances yielded a 0-0 tie for SU (1-4-2) against Pittsburgh (4-2-1). But even though it was one point rather than three, for Orange head coach Ian McIntyre, it was an important point against a winning team.

“The way things went out, that was a good point,” McIntyre said.

On that clear scoring chance, SU defender Jakob Karlgren streaked to the corner, tearing down the left side of the field, only to encounter two Pittsburgh defenders at the end line. With some fancy footwork, Karlgren was past the defenders on the inside. He crossed the ball straight back through the middle of the box,

where SU midfielder Roydhouse was perfectly positioned. Roydhouse wound up, but rocketed the ball right off the crossbar.

That’s how the game went for the Orange. An SU team that has had trouble making chances for itself ended up creating those opportunities, putting pressure on its Big East rival all game.

SU was unable to find the back of the net, but Syracuse felt the final score was slightly better than the tie indicated. With the tie, SU earned that point within its Big East division.

“We’ll at least be second (in the division),” McIntyre said. “There’s a long way to go, but this will give the guys a lot of heart. Because sometimes, it’s not going to be pretty. But if we can work and get that result, good things can happen.”

With the single point awarded for the tie, the Orange is now in second place in the Red Division, with three teams tied for first. Already, conference play has proven to be highly competitive. The game was back and forth with each defense taking a pounding.

Orange goalkeeper Jeremy Vuolo is in charge of regulating the game speed as much

as possible. He can either distribute the ball quickly for a fast counterattack or hold on to the ball to give the players a chance to slow down.

Saturday, he held on to the ball.

“A lot of times, we had been under pressure for a while, for a couple of minutes,” Vuolo said.

“They had really been hitting us for a while, so I’ll intentionally take as much time as I can. Let the guys get a breath, relax, step up and then kick it. Just give them time to calm down and relax a little bit.”

Although Roydhouse said he was happy to get a chance to catch his breath, especially as the game went into overtime, he was hardly relaxed.

Particularly going into the second half, he took it upon himself to energize his teammates. His preferred method of inspiration turned out to be verbal altercations with any Panther who looked at him the wrong way.

Roydhouse was not carded, but he did manage to discuss proper soccer etiquette with two or three different members of the Pittsburgh team, while simultaneously tugging shirts and bumping shoulders.

“I thought we lacked a little bit of character

in the first half,” McIntyre said. “So we needed a spark, and we needed some kind of energy out there, and Roydhouse brings that.”

This energy was effective. Syracuse had only two shots in the first half, but finished the game with 12. It was the second most the team has had all season. Pittsburgh got the better of the Orange, with 22 shots, yet Vuolo said he was never concerned.

“Opportunities are going to come few and far between,” Vuolo said. “In terms of creating more, 12 shots in a game is excellent. … In terms of that stat, we’re not bothered. Twelve shots is great for us.”

Vuolo’s positive attitude is a testament to how pleased the team was with the opportunities it was creating. All that’s left is getting the ball in the back of the net. Roydhouse knows what the offense needs to do. Now the team just has to do it.

“If we get the ball in behind them, that’s when we look good,” Roydhouse said. “That’s when we create chances.” alguggen@syr.edu

Syracuse held scoreless again, despite 2nd half scoring opportunities

By Michael Cohen Asst. Copy Editor

After 45 minutes of being outshot, outplayed and outhustled by Pittsburgh, Syracuse head coach Ian McIntyre knew adjustments needed to be made.

It was halftime, but the Orange hadn’t conceded a goal. With the score still 0-0, his team was by no means out of the game.

“Pittsburgh really got on top and created some quality opportunities,” McIntyre said. “That had to change if we were going to get something out of the game.”

Change is exactly what McIntyre did.

To start the second half, McIntyre backed away from the 4-5-1 formation the team had been using for most of the season. Instead he pushed one of his midfielders forward to play as an additional striker and create a traditional 4-4-2 alignment.

Although the team failed to find the back of the net and the game ended in a 0-0 tie, SU more than tripled its shot output in the second half and had a more consistent, better organized attack.

The extra striker on Saturday came in the form of junior Nick Roydhouse. He moved up from the center attacking midfield position to play up front alongside Federico Agreda. It took him a few minutes to acclimate himself.

Five minutes into the second half, sophomore defender Jakob Karlgren made a run out of the back down the left sideline and crossed the ball to Roydhouse. Alone in the middle of the penalty box, Roydhouse ripped a left-footed volley that pinged off the crossbar. Stunned by the miss, Roydhouse could only throw up his hands in disbelief.

“I thought it was in,” he said. “I couldn’t have hit it any better. It just rose up too high. Next time, I’ll put it in.

“Let’s hope so anyway,” he joked.

The new formation also provided an opportunity for senior Manny Sevillano to step in for Geoff Lytle as an outside midfielder. In a 4-4-2, there is added pressure on the outside midfielders to cover a huge amount of the field. They are responsible for pushing forward and assisting the two strikers, and then having to retreat and play defense to help the outside defenders.

It was for that reason McIntyre inserted Sevillano into the game. He trusted his endurance, and he trusted his pace.

“He basically said, ‘We’re going to need your legs,’” Sevillano said. “I have that speed and fitness that usually really helps our team.”

Sevillano played 63 minutes Saturday, all of which came in the second half and overtime.

Playing on the left side of the field with Roydhouse, he nearly tallied what could have been a game-winning goal with two minutes to play in regulation.

A beautiful combination between Roydhouse and midfielder Mawuena Agbossoumonde slipped Roydhouse free into the left corner. He played a cross into the box that found its way to Sevillano’s right foot, but his volley attempt sailed over the crossbar.

Nonetheless, his play caught the attention of

McIntyre.

“He brought us energy,” McIntyre said. “He brought us legs. I thought he was very good tonight. … Having that athleticism really keeps another team honest, and I thought he worked his socks off tonight.”

Syracuse managed seven shots in the second half, compared to just two in the first. The more focused attack also earned the Orange three corner kicks. It even outshot Pittsburgh in the overtime periods.

“I think in the second half, we were performing a little bit better,” Sevillano said. “We were on top of Pittsburgh. Usually you try to leave (a team that’s playing well) and see if that team can produce.”

But despite the improved attack, the team couldn’t produce a goal. Through its first seven matches, the team has just four goals and hasn’t scored more than one in a game. The last time the Orange went seven games to open a season without netting at least two goals in a single game was 1960. And it has only happened twice in program history.

The offense needs to come around, and it needs to do so quickly. “(Scoring goals) is a mentality,” McIntyre said.

“It’s an aggressive nature, and you keep working at it. That’s why we practice and that’s how we become confident. We’ll keep working on that quality service, and then the goals will come.” mjcohe02@syr.edu

DRILL UP

Delone Carter After failing to break the century mark through each of SU’s first three games, Carter had a career day against the Raiders. He rushed for 172 yards and four touchdowns on just 14 carries.

Antwon Bailey Bailey also had arguably his best game of the season, rushing for 27 yards and catching the lone touchdown pass of the game, a 37-yard strike from Ryan Nassib.

Prince-Tyson Gulley Gulley returned two kicks for 35 yards Saturday but looked especially good running the ball late in the fourth quarter.

Gulley ran for 41 yards on just four carries, including an 8-yard touchdown run.

DOWN

Defense One week after holding Maine to 195 yards of total offense, the SU defense allowed Colgate to go off for 376. With Big East play looming, the Orange has two weeks to fix the problem.

Alec Lemon Lemon caught two touchdown passes against Maine, only to follow that performance up with just one catch for 10 yards Saturday.

HERO Delone Carter Carter finished the day with a career-high 172 yards and four touchdowns on just 14 carries. It was the first time an SU player has rushed for four touchdowns since Carter did it against Wyoming in 2006.

Carter now has 419 yards and five touchdowns on the season.

ZERO Colgate Defense The Raiders not only allowed SU to rack up 437 yards of total offense, but allowed 249 yards rushing on just 29 carries for the day. Syracuse held the ball for just more than 15 minutes of the game, yet still had its best offensive performance of the season.

Spruill shines, leads SU with 12 tackles in victory

By Tony Olivero Asst. Sports Editor

The goal for both Syracuse head coach Doug Marrone and Marquis Spruill, when the freshman linebacker is starting at the strong side linebacker position, is disruption. Marrone knows it from his NFL days: Raw talent can bring disruption.

Any element of havoc that linebacker can provide for SU is welcome.

“I see flashes of it,” Marrone said.

Syracuse defensive stalwarts Derrell Smith and Doug Hogue bring the knowledge and experience. They bring the known commodity. Spruill is the unknown. But when he is on, Marrone knows he can bring that havoc. And his havoc yields an ideal — and perhaps the best — Big East linebacking corps.

When all three are on, it becomes a perfect storm flying at ball carriers. Saturday, Spruill did his part, tallying a team-leading 12 tackles on the game, matching the exact mark he registered in total throughout SU’s first three games.

Spruill said the performance was enabled by thinking less and playing faster, something that is usually hard for first-year linebackers.

“You get caught up in your head, and you don’t do everything as fast as you normally do it,” Spruill said. “So I went out there and just played football today and had a lot of fun doing it.”

Even with the performance, Spruill said it was one that overcame a heightened level of frustration for him. With the deliberate Colgate offense constantly challenging Spruill with option reads and ball fakes, the freshman’s playing demeanor became one of restlessness.

Good restlessness, though, as he and the SU defense were on the field for 32:52 through the game’s first three quarters.

That restlessness yielded Spruill’s nose for the ball, as he made 11 of his 12 tackles in the first three quarters.

“It was getting frustrating because it was hard for us to compete,” Spruill said, “because they were holding on to the ball for so long.

It was getting to the point where some people were getting mad because we want the threeand-out.”

Most of the time, the three-and-outs didn’t

defense from page 20

Raiders quarterback Greg Sullivan kept the defense honest, completing 20-of-31 passes for 146 yards and 53 yards on the ground.

The Orange now has two weeks to fix what Hogue harped on before carrying it into Big East play. Though the defense has held its opponents to eight points per game in its three wins, it allowed the only BCS conference team on its schedule — Washington — to drop 41 points on the road.

When asked what the defense needs to work on specifically, Hogue could only muster one word. “Everything,” he said.

Linebacker Marquis Spruill, who led the Orange with 12 tackles Saturday, recognized the problem SU needs to address. He, too, recognized the defense needs to focus on some issues before taking the field against USF.

surface. But Spruill did what he needed to, taking that raw talent and using it to disrupt.

And Saturday’s disruption is just the first step to Spruill becoming that third experienced backer like his senior counterparts.

Saturday was the greatest flash yet.

Said Marrone: “Overall performance for a freshman playing his position has been very, very good. He has played very, very well for us.”

Colgate in control Colgate’s attempted and choreographed control of the tempo of Saturday’s game was obvious.

The three-to-one advantage in time of possession over Syracuse was indicative of that.

But that is not where the control of the ball ended.

After the game, Colgate head coach Dick Biddle made it clear he felt his team controlled the ball for the entirety of the game Saturday. It filtered into the rushing and passing game for the Raiders, well beyond the time of possession.

“I think we controlled the ball for close to 40 minutes,” Biddle said. “I think we ran the ball. I think our passing game was a lot better.

I thought we controlled the line of scrimmage. I think we’re a step or two away from breaking a lot of big plays.”

It was most apparent to Biddle at that line of scrimmage, where the Raiders head coach said his team dominated the line.

The game was closer, thanks to the control,

“It feels good,” Spruill said about only allowing seven points. “But we’re going to go watch film and see what we can get better at and make new goals for South Florida. … Colgate is a good team, but South Florida isn’t going to be Colgate.”

At the podium after the game, the 3-1 start was enough for Syracuse head coach Doug Marrone to crack a rare smile. The Orange did exactly what it was supposed to do and looked relatively impressive while doing it.

But after glancing at the numbers on a stat sheet, Marrone’s smile quickly disappeared, and that serious demeanor took over again.

“We only gave up one touchdown, so I’m excited about that,” Marrone said. “But at the end of the day, we’re talking about a football team that needs to get better and better every week, and that’s going to be the key for us.”

Yet three quarters in, despite allowing the Raiders to rack up yardage and move the ball up and down the field, SU was eyeing its first defen-

than the 42-7 drubbing of a score between the two teams.

“I don’t think the score is indicative of what the game was,” Biddle said. “But that’s what happens. You kind of get worn out, but I think we need to build on it with the positives.”

The numbers were a facade to the head coach. The Raiders controlled the line of scrimmage more so than SU did, despite giving up a career-high 172 yards rushing for SU’s Delone Carter.

This was the case, even though they gave up an average of 11.8 yards per carry to Carter and SU freshman running back Prince-Tyson Gulley. This was the case, albeit the 18 fewer rushing yards his team gained than SU (260 to 242) with 23 more attempts.

Maybe it was told through Colgate’s win on first downs (23 to 20). But that is just one number. Most of the numbers refuted Biddle’s claims.

His running back, Nate Eachus — who averaged 4.2 yards per rush attaining 147 rushing yards — agreed with him. But Eachus did fault the defense. That is where the game was lost.

“I think we controlled the ball a lot more than they did,” Eachus said. “Our game plan every week is to pound the ball, but our defense struggled a little bit and couldn’t really help us out.” aolivero@syr.edu

sive shutout since 2005. Colgate’s penalties and a touchdown it had that was brought back kept Syracuse alive for what, at first glance, would have proven to be a solid defensive effort.

When Colgate eventually scored, the game was no longer in doubt. But not getting the shutout ultimately left Hogue with “a bad taste in (his) mouth.” A bad taste that should keep the SU defense hungry and motivated to fix the inconsistencies before heading to Tampa.

Against the Bulls, 376 yards allowed will most likely result in a blowout. But not with the Orange on the winning end. That much was evident in Washington two weeks ago.

And that’s why, heading into Big East play, there will be a lot riding on the defense. It’s something Hogue and his teammates realize needs to be rectified during the bye week.

Said Hogue: “We need to become a better team when the Big East comes up so that we can win some games.” aljohn@syr.edu

(315)-446-0199 matthew ziegler | staff photographer ANTWON BAILEY (CENTER) carries the ball Saturday in SU’s home win over Colgate.

Bailey had 99 total yards, including a 37-yard touchdown reception just before halftime.

COLGATE FROM PAGE 20

changing 37-yard catch-and-go by Bailey — concluded by a flip into the end zone that saw Bailey’s helmet nearly graze the turf as he spun — the Syracuse offense erased the thoughts of its slow start against Maine. Bailey, Carter and the offense throttled the Raiders (1-2) from the get-go to the tune of 267 total yards between the two backs in the game.

But it wasn’t an effort time-dominated throughout. It was the exact opposite.

“When you have 40-something plays and only hold the ball for 15 minutes and have over 400 yards of offense and score five touchdowns, that’s pretty good,” Marrone said.

The backs and the Orange did what they needed to when they needed to. In just six minutes of offensive possession in the first half, Syracuse averaged 28 yards per minute of possession, yielding 169 total in the half.

In the second half, Carter carried SU. Finally.

For Carter and Bailey, it was a welcome change from their underwhelming performances in the first three games of the season. Entering the game, Carter averaged just more than 82 rushing yards per game. Bailey rarely touched the ball — just 17 rushes and six catches.

“This is what me and Antwon expect out of each other,” Carter said.

Saturday, Bailey and Carter averaged 11.6 yards per touch in the game. It was a stark contrast to the performance of the option-heavy rushing attack of the Raiders. Colgate starting running back Nate Eachus rushed an astounding 20 times in the first half, but gained only 3.1 yards per play.

Far from the breakneck speed of Syracuse’s backfield duo. Rather deliberate and drowsy, yielding zero first-half points.

Friday night in the team hotel, wide receiver Van Chew and Bailey said they spoke about how Bailey would split Colgate’s two safeties on that touchdown-scoring route. But what was not planned was the last-second flip. Bailey told Chew he would not flip.

But he did. He had to.

“Plays like that, you kind of have sense of what is going to happen when the defense lines up,” Bailey said. “So (Chew) asked me what was I going to do when the safeties came toward me. I said I wasn’t going to jump, but I ended up jumping.”

And one play prior to Bailey’s Raider-splitting run and jump, Carter realized the backfield duo’s day was going to come as well. It came following a start to a half in which SU blitzed the Raiders when it could. It came preceding a halftime during which Carter told his teammates they needed to play fast. And it came before a second half in which Carter was able to continue the quick pace by slowing down on each play prior to hitting the hole like Marrone wanted him to.

It was Carter’s realization of a clown who was ready to speed toward the cameras.

But in a game in which the two had fun in an amount of time that came in a blur, a little clowning around seemed fitting.

“I know when Antwon gets near that end zone and he has some people around him, he can see the cameras lighting up already,” Carter said. “I told him when we got back to the sideline, ‘I knew you were going to do it. You’re a real clown.’” aolivero@syr.edu

BOWL OR BUST The Syracuse football team beat Colgate 42-7 on Saturday, its largest margin of victory this season. Running back Delone Carter rushed for a career-high 172 yards, finally showing the ability to carry SU’s offense. However, there are still some things to clean up before the real tests come with Big East play, most notably how Colgate torched the Orange defense.

SU survives breakdown against Louisville

By Jason Krakower Staff Writer

It’s a situation the Syracuse field hockey team has strenuously prepared for, but never hopes for. In a game as big as this, a breakdown was the last thing the Orange wanted to happen.

With a slim one-goal lead over No. 10 Louisville (6-3, 1-1 Big East) and 25 minutes remaining, Syracuse seniors Maggie Befort and Shelby Schraden were both sent off with yellow cards only 12 seconds apart. The No. 9 Orange (6-3, 2-0) had allowed its early momentum to shift in Louisville’s direction, and now the team was down two starters for nearly five minutes of a crucial stretch of the game.

With the conference lead on the line and tempers flaring, the Orange refused to panic.

The young SU defense held the Cardinals’ high-scoring offense to only two shots on the man-down opportunity, and sophomore goalkeeper Leann Stiver was perfect in net as both penalties were killed.

“Everyone stayed organized, and we kept the ball almost the entire time on the other end of the field,” junior midfielder Nicole Nelson said. “We’ve been down before in a game, and it’s gotten a little crazy, but we stayed composed, and that helped because we stayed in the game.”

Though the Cardinals took the lead with 14

minutes to play, the improbable penalty kill provided a shot in the arm and prevented Louisville from running away with the game. The Orange rode the momentum from its defense to tie the game with fewer than six minutes left, and eventually won 4-3 on a goal from junior midfielder Martina Loncarica in overtime.

The forceful switch that came from the penalty kill may have started with Stiver, whose aggressive mentality as captain of the defense stays consistent, regardless of the pressure of the situation. She and the defense maintained their tempo after they killed off the penalties, and the rest of the team fed off of that energy.

“When we’re down, it puts a lot of pressure on the defense,” Stiver said. “Once (Befort and Schraden) came back into the game and we were at full strength, we realized we didn’t have to be as reserved in our playing style, and we could go back and attack and be more aggressive.”

For Befort, the attitude and urgency displayed during the man-down stonewall comes from SU’s extensive preparation for that situation. Head coach Ange Bradley has been emphasizing this aspect of the game since the team was in a similar spot in an earlier loss to Virginia.

Befort said the key to being prepared when the situation came up against Louisville was

the Contact info

by recreating in practice the emotional frustration that comes before players are sent off. However, Befort said despite the positive result on Saturday, preparation for man-down situations is also designed to teach self-control when things are getting out of hand.

“Even in practice, it gets pretty competitive and pretty heated,” Befort said. “(Coach Guy Cathro) is umpiring, we’ll yell, ‘Hey Guy, what was that?’ He’ll say ‘Off!’ and we practice playing a man down. We’re learning to keep our mouths shut and control what we can control.”

Though Bradley is proud of how her poised young defenders handled the mismatch that keyed the momentum swing, she also knows they were ready because of previous experiences that have become a pattern. The events with Louisville show why playing down has become an important aspect of Bradley’s practices, but they also show why she needs to continue emphasizing how to avoid these situations.

“You can say a lot of things (about playing down), but we’ll stick with composure and coolness,” Bradley said. “We show video of the times that we’ve been up players and down players, so we put that into drills and practice.

It’s something we clearly need to do more of.”

Backfield duo of Carter, Bailey lead Orange to win over Raiders

By Tony Olivero

Asst. Sports Editor

breakout game from Delone Carter. Breakneck speed from Antwon Bailey and the entire Syracuse offense. A blowout win for the Orange. And it all was expected.

On a day when everything seemed to go by in a flash, the SU offense made the most of its measly 15 minutes of possession, defeating Colgate 42-7 inside the Carrier Dome Saturday in front of 38,068. SU (3-1) is now off to its best start since 2003 as it heads into Big East play.

“I think it was a matter of opportunities,” SU head coach Doug Marrone said. “Opportunities, and what we were looking to get done.”

A week after it took 29 minutes for the offense to wake up, Marrone

wanted a quick start. In that abbreviated start, the unit dominated when it needed to. It started with the performances of its two running backs — Bailey and Carter — via sudden scampers and breakneck speed INSIDE after receptions.

Check out Bailey started this week’s it up, and Carter Bowl or Bust meter and continued it more. throughout the Pages 16-17 rest of the game, racking up a career-high 172 yards rushing and four touchdowns.

And for Bailey, the “breakneck” was almost literal on the game’s biggest play.

After allowing 376 yards, defense wants improvement

By Andrew L. John Sports Editor

Minutes after putting the final touches on a blowout victory over Colgate Saturday, Syracuse linebacker Doug Hogue let his mind wander. He wasn’t thinking about the two weeks of rest that awaited the Orange. Or the program’s best start since 2003. Instead his focus was on what lies just around the corner.

And despite the fact that SU’s defense allowed just a single touchdown against the Raiders, Hogue wasn’t satisfied. He still wants to see his defense get better before facing an aggressive South Florida offense in Tampa less than two weeks from now.

“After every game you play, you always feel like you could do better,” Hogue said. “Going into the Big East in the next two weeks, we’ve got to pick things up and step our game up.”

Hogue wasn’t just being a perfec-

tionist, either. Despite allowing just seven points in a 42-7 Colgate beatdown, the Orange gave up an alarming 23 first downs and 376 yards of total offense to its FCS counterparts.

Despite quick start, questions still abound

utside the Syracuse looker room Saturday, a sense of excitement encircled members of the SU football team.

Bro hugs were issued. Smiles were flashed. Syracuse was off to its best start since 2003.

And that’s a legitimate reason to be excited, and even confident. At times this season, SU has played very well. The 3-1 start is not a fluke. The record symbolizes something big.

Something fans and players haven’t seen at SU in quite some time.

But does the record really tell us anything about this squad? The Orange was supposed to play well

goin’ hog wild against Akron, Maine and Colgate.

Nobody is surprised the Orange easily handled three middling teams from outside a BCS conference.

That’s not a shocker.

Despite three wins by an average margin of more than 28 points per game, the Orange didn’t necessarily

dominate each of those three opponents for four consecutive quarters.

Against the one BCS conference team it did play, SU got walloped.

Because of that, we still know very little about this team’s chances once SU’s Big East slate begins against South Florida in Tampa, following the current bye week. Will this team collect double-digit penalties against Big East teams, as it did against Maine? Will this defense allow its conference opponents to gouge them for 230 yards on the ground, as Colgate did? If three relative cupcakes can exploit the Orange see john page 14
