Gresely plans for semester

By Jessica Iannetta staff writer

After one year as Student Association president, Boris Gresely can’t imagine how other presidents served just two semesters.

“I think that two semesters is not enough. And the reason why is that the first semester you spend that entire semester networking, building relationships,” he said.

“And then that last semester is the campaign semester which is very hard as well, because all the attraction is somewhere else.”

Because we know that it’s our last semester we have a bigger drive to accomplish what we want to do. So we’re holding people much more accountable.

Boris Gresely sa president

Luckily for Gresely, he doesn’t have to fit all his plans into just two semesters. Due to a change in the SA constitution, Gresely is the first and only student to serve three semesters as SA president. His third and final semester starts Monday night with the first SA meeting of the year.

Serving three semesters is something Gresely has always planned for and he campaigned on a three-part plan to reform, redirect and reconnect SA. With their final semester in office, Gresely and the rest of the 58th session are working to complete several long-term initiatives while looking ahead to the next session as SA elections take place.

Chancellor’s Workgroup members discuss report

By Brett Samuels news editor

Members of Syracuse University Chancellor Kent Syverud’s Workgroup on Sexual Violence Prevention, Education and Advocacy say their work is complete, but are hopeful that students, faculty and staff will do their part to make the group’s recommendations a reality.

Chase Catalano, director of the LGBT Resource Center and a co-chair of the workgroup, said the group is working to set up a day and time to meet with the chancellor and discuss the report. Beyond that, he said there are no plans for any more meetings.

The workgroup was created on Sept.

22, and consisted of 13 members of the SU community. Catalano and Dawn

We intentionally did not number or rank the recommendations because they are each important.

Chase Catalano co-chair of the workgroup

Johnson, a professor in the School of Education, served as co-chairs of the

workgroup. Following nearly three months of meetings, research and interviews, the group submitted its final 77-page report to the chancellor on Dec. 17. In the report, the group identified gaps in services for victims and survivors of sexual and relationship violence on campus, and proposed a set of both short-term and long-term recommendations for improving campus and community culture.

Catalano said members of the workgroup met weekly until the middle of November, at which point they began meeting twice a week.

“We met with various administrators, attended the Division of Student Affairs listening meeting, talked with

various student groups and conducted our own focus group, then began the writing process,” Catalano said.

Catalano said the group developed ideas for recommendations throughout the entire process, and members were in complete agreement about everything included in the final report as a recommendation.

“We intentionally did not number or rank the recommendations because they are each important,” Catalano said, “and only made the distinction between short-term and long-term recommendations based on the work and infrastructure required to achieve the recommendation.” see workgroup page 6

Freshman pursues art, enjoys creative process

By Momin Rafi contributing writer

While some freshmen spent their summers unwinding before starting college, Bernardo Rodriguez was getting ready for his first art show.

The freshman communications design major from Tarrytown, New York has always had a passion for art, but he does it for the process, not for the result.

“Although it’s my preferred means of expression and my preferred career choice, I don’t take it too seriously,” Rodriguez said. “I have a crazy relationship with art. When I create, I’m not looking at the end result. I’m thinking: ‘How am I going to build myself through the process of this drawing? How will my audience react? Will they hate it or love it?”

Last July, he had his first art show at the H-Art Gallery in Peekskill, New York, and 40 percent of the show’s profits went to Hudson River Healthcare to help find a cure for multiple myeloma. The donation was inspired by his father’s cancer diagnosis in 2014.

But Rodriguez wasn’t in it for the money — he wanted the prestige that came with having his first show.

Rodriguez hails from the Dominican Republic, but it wasn’t until he came to America as a child that he began exploring art. Rodriguez said Dominican culture doesn’t encourage kids to pursue art as anything more than a hobby.

“I didn’t realize that I was good at drawing until I had the comfort and nurturing of American teachers,” Rodriguez said. “I got a lot of support from my teachers and they were always telling each other about me as I went through the school system in Sleepy Hollow and Tarrytown.”

Bernardo’s crown jewel is his “Smells Like Teen Spirit” self-portrait, drawn in graphite on a 4-by-6foot canvas. In the picture, he’s wearing a suit, his eyes are glaring and hands are coming out of his mouth.

“All my artwork can burn, but I’m going to keep this one,” Rodriguez said.

“I’m sure I’ll create something that surpasses it sooner or later, but for now, it captures everything I was going for.” mrafi@syr.edu

Police received a complaint of a man at the Marshall Street Starbucks acting belligerent, refusing to leave and bothering customers. Officers arrived on Marshall Street to find the man stumbling into the road and into people on the sidewalk before sitting down on the curb. The man appeared to be intoxicated, according to the police report.

When officers approached him, the man told them to, “Get the f*ck away from me.” An officer handcuffed him and led him back to the police car. The man tried to kick the officer but was “too intoxicated” to do so. After being arrested, the man continued to be belligerent during booking and was placed in solitary confinement, according to the police report.

SU saves School prepares to open classroom in Link Hall resources over break college of engineering and computer science

By Olivia Johnson staff writer

A new, state-of-the-art classroom in the College of Engineering and Computer Science is opening this semester with the goal of improving collaboration amongst students.

Rooms 369 and 371 in Link Hall were transformed during the fall semester from typical classrooms to

new innovative classrooms that are said to foster group work and teambased learning, according to a Jan. 8 Syracuse University News release.

In the classrooms, there is a dual overhead projector, which professors can use to show one or two screens to the class. There is also a mobile whiteboard that students can use anywhere in the classroom whether on the wall or at their table,

according to the release.

In addition, the classroom features 10 LED monitors, which students and instructors can control by connecting their laptops or using the teaching station, according to the release. Reconfigurable tables are another addition to the classroom. The tables and chairs can be arranged individually, in small groups or as large as a group of six.

Some engineering students feel that the change was necessary in order for students to be able to work in the engineering world after graduation.

“If they keep making classrooms like this, it would lead to a higher success rate among students,” said Amanda Walkowicz a senior aerospace engineering major. “The classroom pushes for group work

Over Winter Break, Syracuse University officials in the Energy Conservation Division implemented and managed building shutdowns and utility cutbacks across campus in an effort to save energy during Winter Break.

Beginning after noon on Dec. 13, all residence halls and unused academic buildings, as well as the vast majority of South Campus apartments that were closed over Winter Break, had lights shut off and heat reduced to 60 degrees.

The conservation program, commonly known as Green Days, was started by former chancellor Nancy Cantor about five years ago. However, Nathan Prior, the associate director of climate operations, said officials have been active in trying to conserve over Winter Break for see energy page 9

Protesters must separate themselves from violence against police

S

ince the events surrounding Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, there has been a notable increase in brutality against police. Multiple officers nationwide have been shot, attacked and even killed. Most recently in New York City, two officers nearing the end of their shift on Jan. 6 went to respond to an armed robbery and left the scene in ambulances with gunshot wounds.

The recent increase in resentment toward police officers in this post-Ferguson society is causing many once-peaceful movements to become violent, and instilling fear in many innocent men and women just trying to protect their communities.

The majority of the protests seemed to start off peacefully. But the release of the Ferguson verdict appeared to be the tipping point for those who had been brewing anger toward law enforcement for some time. Jim Pasco, the executive director of the National Fraternal Order of Police, expressed the

VICTORIA RAZZI CANDIDLY CONSERVATIVE

concerns many people are feeling in this statement: “Right now, it’s a hate crime if you attack someone solely because of the color of their skin, but it ought to be a hate crime if you attack someone solely because of the color of their uniform as well.”

When people hear about a shooting of an innocent police officer just trying to do their job, they do not feel inspired to join the perpetrators’ movement. If anything, they only feel as if they should speak out against it.

Leaders and prominent members of these movements need to speak out against violence and make a conscious effort to enforce non-violent protesting as well as discourage misdirected hatred towards the police force.

When someone outside of a movement sees

people joining together in response to these attacks on police, they are much more likely to listen.

Not all police officers are perfect and not all protesters are violent, but what is happening here is that those stereotypes are beginning to take shape.

Now officers need to consider that they could be attacked by an anti-police protester just for being in uniform. They may be taken by surprise with out any warning. Just as in the case of the tragic deaths of officers Rafael Ramos and Wenjian Liu. Police, to some extent, have always expected possible violence when responding to a call. However, having to continually look over their shoulders for ambush attacks is a whole new development.

Using violence to protest violence is not really a sensible solution to the problem in the first place. The whole issue that started these anti-police sentiments is that many

began to feel that police officers are racist.

In Ferguson, Missouri, 92.7 percent of the people arrested in 2013 were African Americans and according to the 2010 census, 67.4 percent of the city’s population was African American. However, “an eye for an eye makes the whole world blind.”

While it may be a cliche, that does not mean it is not true. All the protesters are proving is that the people who had been making assumptions about the protestors being violent are not wrong. Peaceful protests are much more effective ways of not only spreading messages, but also of gaining respect for a movement. The fact that these violent dissenters are the ones deciding how the public views a group is not favorable for anyone.

Gresely must use third semester wisely This marks the third and final semester for Boris Gresely, Student Association president. Given their extra time in office, Gresely and his cabinet should use this semester not only to tie up loose ends, but also expand the way the assembly communicates with the student body.

Gresely was granted this elongated term following a change to SA’s election schedule. In years past a term was divided by summer vacation, but now Gresely’s successors will serve two semesters in accordance with the Syracuse University calendar year.

This semester SA hopes to implement several changes on campus, such as the installation of heat lamps on South Campus bus stops and the addition of more charging stations in

university buildings.

There are also ambitions to create a new leadership program for first year students, build on the dining with faculty program and Gresely’s biggest project, the Student Affairs Summit.

This event will unite student leaders across campus with aims to discuss ways to improve the student experience at SU. SA should continue to follow through on the projects they have already set in motion while also utilizing the president’s new ability to send emails to the entire student body.

When Gresely ran in the fall of 2013, he based his campaign on a three-part program to “reform, reconnect and redirect” SA and promised to hold SA more accountable. Now, with the abil-

ity to send three campus-wide emails per semester, he can do just that.

It would be in SA’s best interest to utilize this pathway of communication to keep the student body informed.

Rather than operating within their own bubble, Gresely and the entirety of the 58th session should hold themselves accountable to the student body by providing regular updates on their initiatives and current projects.

Sending an update three times a semester will provide transparency and direct interaction with the individuals SA represents.

Gresely has had more time to learn the ins and outs of office and he should use this privilege to create an infrastructure that will benefit those who will follow him.

Athletic fans should give female, male athletes equal support

A

simple Google search of “Syracuse basketball” only shows the men’s schedule.

And the same result occurs for many universities, most notably at the University of Connecticut where the women’s basketball team is renowned.

In the past nine home games for Syracuse men’s basketball this season an average of 20,809 people attended and in the past eight home games for the women’s team an average of 596 people have attended. The numbers say it all — women are less supported by fans in athletics than men. This is not an opinion, but a fact at SU. Our idea of what makes an

athlete must change. An athlete is a dedicated, hard working, skillful individual. These characteristics are not exclusive to the male body, and we must stop seeing it this way.

The reason for low attendance is not because women are less talented — Syracuse women have a 11-5 record while the men own a comparable 12-4 record. Students and fans, regardless of their genders, are cheering on women less, even when women’s tickets are significantly cheaper. Courtside

tickets for the men’s game against Wake Forest cost roughly $150 while women’s tickets against the same school are $24.70, according to Ticketmaster. These prices are consistent regardless the games’s time and date.

These numbers and trends are not foreign; this is seen on a national level. The NCAA reported in 2014 18 million more people attended men’s Division I basketball games over women’s. Keep in mind there are 343 women’s teams and 345 men’s teams, reaching near equality in the amount of teams.

It has been 42 years since Title IX was passed and every year more women participate in college

athletics. As such, the more women participate, the more people should attend their games.

We must show women that being an athlete is just as promising for a career as it is for men, and we must do such by supporting them. Universities must advertise women’s games just like the men’s.

We as a university must strive for equality in supporting college athletes regardless of gender.

Student athletes put in the same amount of time and dedication to perform on the court; it is only fair as a student body and fan base we cheer them on equally.

Men and women alike argue that women’s sports simply don’t have

the same legacy or powerhouses that would draw them in. But there are plenty of women powerhouses that deserve their jersey to be worn by the fans, just like the men have the privilege to.

The argument that women are less talented or athletic is nonsensical; men and women can play the same game with the same rules and compete at the same level of athleticism — and we should show them that we know it.

gresely constitution that, among other things, changed the period the president serves to match the academic year. Previously, the president’s term matched the calendar year. To start the new schedule, Gresely and his Vice President Daniela Lopez had to serve three semesters.

“This last semester is really where all the leg work and all the heavy lifting that has been done gets executed, “ he said. “So now this semester we really see the fruits of our labor.”

To that end, Gresely has a calendar with the first month of the semester all planned out. Some initiatives Gresely said he hopes to accomplish this semester are a new leadership program for first year students, an educational outreach about financial aid and student loans and the dine with faculty program.

But Gresely’s biggest goal is the Student Affairs Summit, which will bring together student leaders from across campus to talk about how to improve student life at SU. Tentative dates have been picked and an advisory board of student leaders has been created to plan the

town. In addition, semester packages will be offered at $299 for three months of unlimited classes, Hinman and Clarke said.

Indoor cycling will be a main focus at this location, which will offer a “team-based twist,” Hinman and Clarke said. With 25 bikes, “teams will compete in real-time on sprints, climbs and various intervals.” There are also flat-panel TVs in the studio, which will show performance data. Urban Life will be hosting group workouts as well with sororities, fraternities and

club teams, Hinman and Clarke said.

“Class times are not set at the moment,” Hinman said. “But they will likely be seven days a week, with classes in the late mornings, early afternoons and evenings.” Also, they will start with at least four classes per day, with room to grow.

Hinman and Clarke said they are excited because “the studio will feature state-of-theart lighting, a nightclub-esque sound system, changing rooms, retail and lockers with a

built-in locking system.”

Jacobsen had a positive experience at Urban Life when she took a CrossFit class for the first time. While working with the coaches at Urban Life, she said she felt they were “excellent at modifying the workouts to fit every athlete’s needs, and that the whole staff truly loves what they do.”

Said Jacobsen: “Once a student tries a class at Urban Life, it’ll be really hard for them not to get hooked.”

Gresely will be working on all of these initiatives as a second semester senior, something that worried many SA members when the presidential term was changed. But Gresely said he

a good idea to serve on a campaign team and observe an SA election before deciding to run.

Younger assembly members have typically been able to get more SA experience by working hard and earning a cabinet position, Kam said. But because Gresely has chosen many cabinet members from outside SA, not all these representatives have gotten that opportunity, she said. While it can be good to choose cabinet members from outside SA, Kam said, doing this can also make the cabinet positions less prestigious.

Aysha Seedat, director of student life, is the only cabinet member to stay in her position for all three semesters. After she got the position, Seedat said she decided to forgo studying abroad and make a commitment to running the Student Life committee for three semesters.

Seedat had never been in SA before becoming director of student life, so having an extra semester allowed her more time to transition into SA. Many of the same people have been on her committee for the past three semesters, which has helped with consistency and getting initiatives accomplished, she said.

This semester, Seedat said she hopes to wrap up an initiative she started during her first semester: allowing transfer students to participate in Greek life during their first semester on campus. The committee will also continue to work on getting heat lamps in South Campus bus stops and installing more charging stations on campus, Seedat said.

“We’re all really excited to set a precedent and be remembered in the books as this was the (session) that was three semesters long and look how much work got done,” she said.

PLANNING FOR THE FUTURE Boris Gresely and the rest of the 58th session have several specific initiatives they want to accomplish this semester, including:

• The creation of the Student Affairs Summit • An educational program about financial aid and student loans • Heat lamps in South Campus bus stops • A leadership program for first-year students • Allowing transfer students to participate in Greek life their first semester ran for president fully understanding what was involved and said he’s excited about his last semester as president.

“Because we know that it’s our last semester, we have a bigger drive to accomplish what we want to do,” he said. “So we’re holding people much more accountable.”

Lopez, the vice president, also isn’t worried about being burnt out, and she said in an email that the extra semester has given her and Gresely more time to work on initia-

Allie Curtis, who graduated last year and was president of the 57th session, said having three semesters to implement goals and ideas would certainly have been helpful.

“Everyone always comes in with a lot of great ideas and different things they want to do, but it’s hard to implement them in that period of time, especially when your full-time job really is being a student,” she said.

With the changes to the president’s term, Curtis said she thinks younger members may run for president. Before becoming president, Curtis was vice president under former SA president Dylan Lustig and she said the two started planning their campaign during the spring of their freshman year. They ran in the fall of their sophomore year but if the terms had been different, Curtis said they probably would have run a semester earlier.

Adrianna Kam, a senior who served as chair of the Board of Elections and Membership for the past two semesters, said she would like to see younger students run but added that it’s

workgroup The workgroup’s short-term recommendations are to be addressed this spring, according to the report. Johnson, one of the co-chairs of the group, said members felt it was important to provide some recommendations that could be accomplished in the short-term knowing that others would take longer to implement.

Some of the short-term recommendations in the report include providing additional staffing and resources to the Counseling Center, updating stickers in bathroom stalls that communicate information about sexual and relationship violence services, and creating a task force on sexual and relationship violence that reviews services, policies and programs every semester.

Johnson added that given the campus community’s response to the closing of the Advocacy Center last summer, the group members are hopeful that the short-term recommendations can be implemented this semester.

In addition, several long-term recommendations were made in the report, including strengthening the relationship between Vera

House and SU, and creating a “hub” at 111 Waverly Ave. that would house all sexual assault and relationship violence services.

For those recommendations to be effective, group members said the SU community must support the ideas. Brittany Moore, a senior public relations major, was one of the student members of the workgroup. Moore said the only way to ensure the recommendations are addressed in a timely manner is for students, faculty and staff to get involved.

“We are the ones that should be rallying on the Quad and storming the chancellor’s office, but we are also the ones who should be participating in working groups like this one,” Moore said.

Johnson added that students play a vital role in changing campus culture, and that she hopes undergraduate and graduate students will be asked to be involved in the process of implementing the workgroup’s recommendations.

“This is a long-term commitment that needs the ideas and perspectives of students, as well as faculty and staff, to make lasting changes to campus culture,” she said. blsamuel@syr.edu

U

ltraviolet curable 3-D printing can be used to create objects as small as pieces of jewelry and as large as life size replicas of surgical patients.

Starting this semester, students at State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry will be able to take a course on the science of that specific aspect of 3-D printing.

“Essentially what you’re taking is photopolymer chemistry — a plastic chemistry that is in a liquid form — that you’re curing with ultraviolet light, which is an instant cure as opposed to drying,” said Doreen Monteleone, a Radiation Curing Program manager at SUNY-ESF. “Depending upon the printing mechanism you’re using and the light force, you get this instantaneous cure.”

Monteleone helped create the new short online course at the college on the “Basics of UV Curable 3-D Printing,” which will be taught this semester. SUNY-ESF is offering several courses that focus on radiation curing technology and delve into detail about the polymer chemistry and the principles of radia-

tion technology; this class is specific in the 3-D printing area.

“There are many companies using UV technology or 3-D technology that may want to educate their employees, or people interested in the subject can take this course online and learn more,” Monteleone said. “By having it online, it opens up the doors infinitely because anyone can reach an online course at this point.”

The inspiration behind the course was Mike Idacavage, who left Syracuse University in 1983 to work at starting a UV curing lab.

Since then, he has been working in the industry of radiation curing and watching it grow and expand rapidly. In the past three to four years, Idacavage has gotten more involved with the three-dimensional printing side of UV curing, which is a small but very important subset of 3-D printing in terms of what it can be used to make.

Through interactions at 3-D printing companies, Idacavage said he realized that many end-users had no idea about the science behind the technology and set forth to design a class for non-science majors that would explain the basics and chemistry of UV curing 3-D printing.

Short courses are not taken for credit, which is beneficial to someone who simply wants to

learn more about the growing technology. It is designed in such a way that should someone sit down with it continuously, they could complete the course in four to six hours.

The course is set in six modules. The first analyzes what the technology does, what the advantages are and what the disadvantages are. Modules two through five help students to

better understand the chemistry behind the technology — how it works, what chemicals are used and why they make a 3-D printed object. The last module focuses on safety and handling. Students are given a month to work

through all the lectures, modules and quizzes at the end of each module.

Though the technology has been around for the past 10–15 years, Idacavage said how it works is a mystery to most people.

The uses for this technology range vastly — it can be used on a small scale to make fashion dresses or jewelry, or on a large scale where companies can custom-design and make something for an individual consumer that is perfectly fitted for them, Monteleone said. One of the most common uses is in dentistry — it’s used to fill teeth.

It’s essentially putting a substance in your tooth, filling it and curing it with ultraviolet light.

“One of the most interesting applications was the CT scan of a mummy in Ohio and they made a perfect replica of the person inside it and (studied) it,” Idacavage said.

The technology can also be used by doctors going into surgery to print out and practice on a perfect life-size replica of the body they are going to operate on.

“You kind of have to think outside of the box in what it can be used for,” Monteleone said.

Said Idacavage: “Once you learn about it, it’s hard to make decisions on what you can do and how to push it to the limit.” acalwis@syr.edu

Anastasia Budinskaya, a junior bioengineering major, agreed, saying she thinks the college did a poor job of incorporating the teamwork aspect of engineering until a class she took last fall, which included several group projects.

“As engineers our job description is collaboration, there is no way that one product can be developed by one person,” she said.

Jannuel Cabrera, a junior aerospace engineering major, said he hopes that in addition to the room being used as a classroom, it can also be used as a study room.

Some engineering students also said they believe that there is a host of benefits from having a classroom like this.

Walkowicz said she believes the classroom will help students focus more on group work and said, “there is seldom a time in engineering that an engineer will have to work on a project themselves.”

The classrooms were funded by the College of Engineering and Computer Science, which

includes individual donations to the Dean’s fund as well as to the university. There was also an

The new classroom will give engineering students a place that has the tools they need to get their work done.

“I took a class called mechanical aero lab last semester and a lot of us would go to the iSchool to get projects done because they have a lot of white boards and double monitored computers,” Walkowicz said. “The fact that the engineering school is catching on to what the iSchool is doing means they are following suit.” otjohnso@syr.edu

Court roundup: No settlement in Boeheim defamation case Boeheim defamation case unable to be settled through mediation The defamation case against Syracuse University men’s basketball coach Jim Boeheim could not be resolved through mediation after more than two months of talks.

In a letter sent to the judge in the case on Jan. 8, Mariann Wang, a lawyer for the two former ball boys suing Boeheim and SU, said the two sides were unable to resolve the matter. On Dec. 30, the two sides asked to extend the talks until last Friday. A lawyer for SU had said she was “optimistic” there would be a resolution.

The case will now move forward with a discovery period, which had been suspended since mediation began on Nov. 5.

Former Syracuse ball boys Bobby Davis and Mike Lang sued SU and Boeheim in December 2011 for defamation over his comments that the two were liars who were out to get money. New

York state’s high court reversed two previous decisions throwing out the lawsuit on Oct. 21.

The two men allege they were sexually abused

by Bernie Fine, a former associate head men’s basketball coach. SU fired Fine on Nov. 27, 2011. He has denied all wrongdoing and was not charged following an almost yearlong federal investigation.

Federal judge denies appeal, orders SU to turn over 22 documents related to Bernie Fine investigation A federal judge has ordered Syracuse University to turn over 22 documents related to its investigation of sexual abuse allegations against former associate men’s basketball coach Bernie Fine, denying the university’s appeal of his initial decision.

In a 15-page decision filed on Dec. 24, 2014, U.S. Magistrate Judge David Peebles rejected SU’s argument that the documents should be

redacted because of attorney-client privilege.

SU later filed a motion asking the presiding judge to review Peebles’ decision.

Peebles’ decision is part of a lawsuit brought

by Fine’s wife, Laurie Fine, against ESPN Inc. Laurie Fine sued ESPN on May 21, 2012, arguing the statements it aired were false and defamatory.

The university is not named in the lawsuit, but it was subpoenaed for documents on Dec. 4, 2014.

SU has turned over more than 500 other documents in the case, according to past filings in the lawsuit, though it is unclear what they are about.

SU fired Bernie Fine on Nov. 27, 2011. He was not charged after an almost yearlong federal investigation and has denied all wrongdoing.

Developer rejects SU’s offer to settle lawsuit

from the university at the end of December 2014.

In a letter sent to the judge in the case in early January, an SU lawyer said the lawyer for Cameron Hill Construction, LLC rejected a settlement offer from SU. Cameron Group sued SU in July 2014, about a month after the university terminated the developer’s contract to build a new bookstore and fitness center on University Avenue.

Construction delays and the inability to secure financing were reasons cited by SU for ending the project, but Cameron Group said the two parties had a good working relationship and that it has lost approximately $1.5 million on the project.

The bookstore was planned to be built at 601 University Ave., and the Cameron Group had been given a 30-year tax exemption for the project by the city of Syracuse.

energy as long as he can remember. The amount of energy and money saved year to year has often depended on how extreme the weather is on campus, and how officials respond.

Prior has been with SU for 16 years and functions as the leader of the Green Days team.

The division maintains an Operations Center that looks at equipment like heat radiators and air conditioning in all the various buildings and make maintenance calls around the clock.

“I’ll come in and troubleshoot with them,

SAVING RESOURCES Several measures were taken over break to limit the amount of energy used on campus. Those included:

• All residence halls, unused academic buildings and a majority of South Campus apartments were closed over Winter Break • Lights were shut off and heat was reduced to 60 degrees in most buildings • 85 percent of South Campus energy was able to be shut down and reduced over break • Power and heat levels are gradually raised to normal levels during the transition from Winter Break to the spring semester • All of the buildings on the SU campus use electric heat but I also coordinate our efforts with different departments like the Physical Plant and Auxiliary Services,” Prior said.

Tanya DiPietro and Emily Greeno are mainly

responsible for managing SU’s energy systems.

DiPietro, assistant energy conservation manager at SU, has the role of handling all of the heating and cooling systems for the entire university, though her focus is on main campus.

The Green Days team “touches everything that is owned and operated by Syracuse University,” DiPietro said. Such a broad jurisdiction makes it necessary to split up the work, and that is what the Green Days team does.

While DiPietro manages much of SU’s energy cutbacks, the task of managing conservation efforts on South Campus falls to Emily Greeno, an energy conservation manager, who said energy on about 85 percent of South Campus is able to be shut down and reduced over break.

Greeno is also the architect of an end-of-break strategy that the team has been using since she joined in 2012. This strategy, which Prior said made SU much more energy efficient, is essentially a process of gradually and strategically bringing power and heat levels back up to usual levels during the transition from Winter Break to the spring semester. As students begin to move in, Greeno handles the system’s re-emergence very deliberately based on occupancy.

Greeno said it’s important to understand that all the buildings use electric heat. Greeno’s strategic transition, being used for the third time this year, allows SU to save energy and money by avoiding the unnecessary waste of a high peak as students move back into their living spaces.

“Since South Campus is getting its energy all through the same National Grid substation, turning everything back on and bringing up the heat levels all at once risks ‘peaking,’” Prior said.

“If we peak during that transition, the university will be paying out that bill for a long time.” tjbeckle@syr.edu

Farmer’s marketing Graduate students develop business strategies for local market

W

hen local business owner Bee Tolman thinks of marketing success stories, places like Wegmans and Burger King come to mind. But those places have people whose entire jobs are devoted to marketing. At her local butcher and grocery shop, Side Hill Farmers, the majority of Tolman’s time is spent thinking of how to connect local farmers with the Syracuse community.

To fill her self-described “marketing void,” Tolman teamed up with Scott Lathrop, a professor in the Martin J. Whitman School of Management, and two of his graduate classes last semester to overhaul the shop’s marketing plan. Tolman is now implementing the final reports for 2015.

In his classes “Creating Customer Value” and “Managing the Marketing Myth,” Lathrop and

his students work hands-on with businesses to develop marketing strategies. Tolman first came in to speak at the beginning of the semester to give students an overview of the shop and its strengths and weaknesses. Over the course of the semester, she came to campus three times to meet with students

and field their questions.

As a result of their discussions, Lathrop broke the students into groups and allowed them to pick from three options: researching more about the competitive market of the shop, exploring the shop’s social and digital media options

and studying traditional marketing avenues, such as print, radio and billboard ads.

Tolman worked closely with the student groups.

Two new graduate programs are aiming to propel students into 21st century journalism.

The S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications is introducing computational journalism and media and education in an effort to get ahead in an ever-changing media landscape.

“This is what’s so exciting about this field — it’s a fresh new field and our students will be trailblazers,” said Michael Schoonmaker, a co-director of the media and education program.

Student applications are already coming in for the first class. Stephen Masiclat, who will head the computational journalism program, said in an email that the first class will matriculate this summer.

Both programs aim to develop journalists and arm them with the values professional journalism requires, and were created through discussions with other schools on campus.

The media and education program is a collaboration between the Newhouse School and the School of Education, with co-directors Schoonmaker from Newhouse and Barbara Applebaum from the education school. Masiclat will lead the computational journalism program.

The computational journalism program came out of discussions between Associate Dean for Professional Graduate Studies of Newhouse Joel Kaplan and the L.C. Smith College of Engineering and Computer Science.

Masiclat was brought on to flesh it out.

Masiclat said he and other professors worked for over two years to create a curriculum that would prepare journalists to tell stories using 21st century technology.

“The goal of the computational journalism program is to train a generation of journalists to gather data from many disparate sources, or even develop their own data-gathering means, to tell important stories,” see newhouse page 14

I

n my least favorite newspaper writing class of all time, I learned one very valuable lesson from my professor: the No. 1 milkshake in Syracuse can be purchased at Strong Hearts Cafe.

This 100 percent vegan cafe can be found at two locations: in Marshall Square Mall and on East Genesee Street. Both cafes serve affordable comfort food that is animal and earth friendly, including salads, sandwiches, wraps and desserts.

After four years of milkshake experimentation in Syracuse, my professor’s lesson still seems as true as ever. Although the shakes from Gannon’s Isle Ice Cream do put up a good fight, there is something especially delicious about the super creamy and not-too-sickly-sweet Strong Hearts’ milkshake.

If you have a car, or if you are the kind of person who enjoys a 17-minute stroll, the cafe located on E. Genesee Street is worth the hike. Located three minutes down the street from Phoebe’s, it has a much more extensive menu and also offers seating and free Wi-Fi that the cafe on the hill doesn’t have — although that location does have a smoothie addition on its menu. It’s also a great place to study while enjoying bottomless coffee to which you can add a delicious soy creamer.

I was seated at a table by the window, sipping on a Muhammad Ali shake — all the milkshakes are named after people that have inspired the cafe with their “strong hearts” — made with

Recess espresso, soy milk and coffee-flavored soy ice cream while waiting for my order.

And when I say waiting, I do mean waiting. To be fair, there did only appear to be wthree lovely staff members manning the entire cafe, which was bustling with all the tables occupied. But it took almost 35 minutes for my breakfast order of the Strong

Hearts original “egg” trick muffin and grilled cheese sandwich with a side of potato chips to arrive.

I’m not sure if they were aging the tapioca-based fake cheese and harvesting the soybeans out back themselves to make my scrambled “eggs,” but my tummy was rumbling when they finally brought my meal to the table.

The “egg” trick muffin for $5 had a solid spiced tofu “egg” patty that, while it was chewier than a regular egg, was absolutely delicious. The menu suggested adding tomato, jalapeños and avocado for $0.75, but unless you have a refined palette for the spicier things in life, I would refrain from adding the jalapeños. The spice in the tofu was the perfect amount of kick so early in the morning. When it first arrived I thought I

would still be hungry at the end, but this little muffin definitely tricked me on that initial theory.

The toasted English muffin was very dense, though a little dry on its own. Paired with the tofu, “sausage,” vegan cheese and added veggies, though, it was divine and left me completely stuffed in a satisfied, I-feel-healthy kind of way.

The grilled cheese recommended adding tomato for an extra $0.50, which of course I did. Next time I order this, I’m going to dare to be even more adventurous and add the recommended “veggie ham” for another $2.

This sandwich was toasted to cheesy heaven, although the cheese aspect was an interesting — but nevertheless fun — mouthful. It smelled and looked like aged cheddar, pulled apart in stringy tendons like real cheese, but had a bizarre texture — like a slippery piece of seaweed. The bread was crispy, the inside was gooey and the tomato added a familiar texture which helped alleviate the strangeness of my virgin vegan cheese experience.

I was so full after the milkshakes and breakfast that unfortunately I wasn’t able to squeeze in one of the divine-looking vegan chocolate cupcakes with tall chocolate frosted plumes made each morning. This is the kind of place that makes eating new kinds of food fun, delicious and exciting, and it’s something all food-lovers need to try sometime during their time at Syracuse University. rlascheb@syr.edu

marketing decision-maker, but also she was able to bring in other people whose baby Side Hill Farmers is,” said Deedi Boland, a first-year Master of Business Administration student with a concentration in marketing.

Boland and her team concentrated on traditional forms of media. They first started by looking at all different kinds of advertising available in the Syracuse area and how much they cost. They then narrowed them down to what they thought would serve Side Hill Farmers the best.

First-year MBA student Justin Lee and his team chose to focus on the social media option.

They first researched the store’s Facebook page, Twitter account and website. Then they researched other companies in the area with similar business models and sizes, and analyzed those social media profiles.

As a result, the students found that other meat markets used Twitter more actively and had a greater number of followers. As part of their final project they compiled this information and presented it to Tolman.

“There were a lot of really innovative ideas, and, in fact, (Tolman) was really excited about the work that students had done,” Lathrop said. “One of the one’s that really stuck out in my mind was the idea of having a food truck to enhance the awareness and visibility in the Syracuse and central New York area.”

Lathrop’s graduate classes have worked with businesses of all sizes over the years, including Eastman Kodak Company, Sierra Nevada Brewing Co. and Syracuse New Times.

Lathrop said the biggest difference is that

with big companies like Kodak, there is more leeway and a bigger budget, so they are able to afford expensive programs and explore more avenues.

But when students work with a local company that is just starting off, they must be more conscious on how to spend those dollars efficiently.

Tolman said she was really happy with the body of work that the students presented. She had worked with a market research group in the past, and paid $10,000 for what she esti-

mates was of $500 value to the company. She estimates that the class reports would have cost her upwards of $50,000.

Side Hill Farmers’ marketing budget is small, and as Tolman said, encompasses “5 percent” of her entire job. She plans to sit down soon and carefully examine all of the different projects. She will be looking for reports that share common trends and have strong data to support those claims. Tolman is also looking

for proposals that are truly implementable with a small staff and small budget.

“I think that working with small businesses is really great for the Syracuse University community,” Boland said. “I think it’s really important to build that sense of companionship and that sense of trust and mutual goals between the Syracuse community and the university.”

education. A hallmark of the media and education program is its interdisciplinary nature.

“The culture of education is historically wary of media, especially entertainment media, which is where this program is based,”

newhouse Masiclat said.

Masiclat added he hopes the computational journalism program will attract students who want to tell stories using large data sets or other information that is too complicated for traditional media.

The media and education program was the creation of Schoonmaker and Sari Knopp Biklen, who retired last year and has since passed away. Applebaum became involved after Biklen retired.

Schoonmaker said the program will expand upon traditional media by being one of the first universities in the nation to offer a program between a media and an education school.

“This is a program that brings two different cultures together: the culture of storytelling and the culture of education,” Schoonmaker said.

The goal of this program, Applebaum said, is for students to be able to comprehend and create media, but more so to use this media within the sphere of education. One of the education school’s specific goals is to teach students the social and political contexts of education.

Schoonmaker says the program includes a colloquium — an open forum — to aid students in making the connection between their more theoretical coursework in the education school and their more practical work in Newhouse.

“We don’t want students to be left alone to do that,” he said.

Applebaum said students will take a number of courses from the Cultural Foundations of Education department to gain an introductory study of

Schoonmaker said. “Luckily we have two schools that have seen the necessity of making that connection.”

Schoonmaker sees three potential arenas for graduates to enter — media education, educational aspects of the media industry and work with NGOs developing media and education systems in different countries.

“If you scan the universities of this great country, I dare you to find any media school working with any education school,” Schoonmaker said. “There’s such an exciting potential in this and I would watch for other universities to copy this.” dmantoot@syr.edu

After the game, freshman point guard Kaleb Joseph said he and his teammates were going to go visit McCullough.

SU wins battle at 3-point line Xavier Rathan-Mayes’ jumper hit the back rim, shot way up in the air and dropped through the net for three points.

The twine was barely touched and never moved as the ball grazed through it. RathanMayes turned around and smiled even though his Florida State team still trailed by 10 points with 7:14 left in the game. It was the Seminoles’ first made 3, and a circus shot that fit in perfectly with the team’s woeful shooting display against Syracuse on Sunday night.

“Mayes is a good 3-point shooter, he was 1-for5. (Robbie) Berwick is a good 3-point shooter, he was 1-for-3,” FSU head coach Leonard Hamilton listed off. “And (Devon) Bookert has been one of

the best shooters in the ACC and he was 0-for-6.”

In all, the Seminoles shot an abysmal 2-for-16 from beyond the arc while the Orange went a season-best 10-for-17 from deep. That was the biggest difference in SU’s 70-57 win over FSU in the Carrier Dome on Sunday night.

Florida State made eight 3s on 16 attempts in an 86-75 win over Virginia Tech on Tuesday, and the Orange focused on perimeter defense while holding the Seminoles to their third-lowest point total of the season.

“You just have to get up on them and not let them get set,” Boeheim said. “Bookert’s a 45 percent 3-point shooting guy and you just have to keep somebody near him all the time.

“We did a really good job the whole game defensively guarding the 3-point line and still helping in other places.”

On Wednesday, Boeheim called his team’s win over Georgia Tech the worst offensive performance he had ever seen. This time around, he praised his team’s offense and left Hamilton harping on a lackluster shooting night.

Joseph said that he and his teammates simply followed the scouting report and forced shooters off the line. The Orange didn’t want to give

Florida State any space on the perimeter, and the Seminoles’ first 3 was followed by another with 52 seconds left on the game clock. By that time, Syracuse had the game well in hand.

Guard Morrison scores 12 points in home win over Virginia

By Sam Blum asst. sports editor

Quentin Hillsman walked out onto the court to greet Maggie Morrison. He wrapped his arms around her waist and picked her up in the air.

She had just hit her third 3-pointer in as many attempts, giving Syracuse a 14-point cushion in the first half. In just five minutes of game action, Morrison had put her stamp on a game more forcefully than she had at any other point in the season.

“You really feel great for them,” Hillsman, the SU head coach said. “Maggie’s a tough, tough kid.

She’s a hard worker. She never comes into the office and complains. She never blames others for anything for her or lack of. She stepped in and really did a great job for us tonight.”

Morrison finished with 12 points on 4-of-5 shooting from behind the arc in No. 21 Syracuse’s (11-5, 1-2 Atlantic Coast) 70-58 win over Virginia (12-4, 1-2) on Sunday afternoon in front of 708 fans in the Carrier Dome. All her points came in

virginia Syracuse lost its first two conference games against No. 4 Notre Dame and No. 13 Duke.

Right away, the Orange built an early lead as point guard Alexis Peterson scored 13 of SU’s first 15 points.

But Virginia didn’t go away and forced Syracuse into 14 second-half turnovers. With a 15-point lead, Peterson chucked the ball out of bounds near the Cavaliers’ bench while trying to break UVA’s press. Brianna Butler committed an offensive foul and Peterson committed another turnover.

Virginia was on an 8-0 run, trailing 44-34, forcing Hillsman to call a timeout.

When the Orange could feel the Cavaliers creeping up from behind, it went to its bread and butter on offense. SU continued to push the ball in transition and scored more than double what Virginia did on the fast break.

struggled in her first season at Syracuse, shooting just 29 percent from 3. But after her first breakout performance on Sunday, that percentage rose to 36.

“They left me open for the most part, probably because I miss most of my shots,” Morrison said.

“They were just falling today. It was good.”

Morrison hit her first wide-open 3 off a pass from a trapped Diamond Henderson. Her second came after securing an offensive rebound after a

“I think the key was just to stay composed,” Peterson said. “Basketball’s a game of runs and they came out, they were hot, they made their run, but we did a good job of just staying composed.”

Forward Briana Day attracted two Virginia defenders when she ran the court, opening up shooters on the outside who cashed in. Syracuse shot 47.3 percent from the field and hit 12-of-27 from beyond the arc.

“That’s the biggest thing for us,” Hillsman said. “We just want to continue to push tempo and get up and down the floor.”

While the Orange stuck to its typical style on offense, it changed its defense. Instead of playing the typical 2-3 zone, Hillsman’s players went into a man-to-man defense, which challenged shooters like Randolph and allowed fewer opportunities for UVA to effectively penetrate the rim.

Time and again, Virginia players went for layups under pressure and shot the ball too hard off the backboard. Though the Cavaliers outscored

Cornelia Fondren-missed free throw. The third fell after she looked for an open Henderson, but took the shot herself after the defense closed in on Henderson.

After hitting her fourth 3, Morrison missed her last attempt, an open shot from the corner as the first-half buzzer sounded. She then apologized to Henderson for preventing her from an assist and jogged back into the locker room with injured guard Brittney Sykes tailing her and rubbing her shoulders.

“Anytime one of our teammates can come in and get hot like that,” point guard Alexis Peterson said, “It’s not only a confidence builder for her ... but it’s great for our team and our program as well, when we have an offensive threat like that coming off the bench.”

Hillsman wasn’t shy to say Morrison was one of the main reasons Syracuse won on Sunday despite playing just 10 minutes. She sparked the game-defining first-half run and made big shots in moments that have often been futile for her throughout the first half of this season.

SU 35-29 in the second half, they couldn’t score enough to legitimately get back in the game.

“I think to switch our defense up, it kind of keeps the team on their toes,” Peterson said.

“It kind of gives us that edge because they don’t know what we’re going to do.”

In the last five minutes, Peterson dribbled the ball in place, waiting for the shot clock to wind down before running the offense to protect the double-digit lead.

It was a scenario unfamiliar to the Orange in its first two conference losses, and a pleasant one at that. And despite that cushion at the end of the game repeatedly being in jeopardy in the first half, Virginia didn’t seriously threaten Syracuse after the deficit grew to 18 at halftime.

“I didn’t even realize we were up by that much,” senior guard Maggie Morrison said. “We were all just working hard, playing hard and as the lead built, we just kept the momentum going.” pmschwed@syr.edu | @pschweds

She said she hoped not to be left open in the future, but that if she is, she won’t hesitate to shoot the ball.

Christmas bullies FSU’s bigs in Syracuse win

APTS FOR RENT 2015-16 ONE BLOCK FROM CAMPUS! 2 Bedroom Furnished

By Jacob Klinger development editor

The floor was all that slowed Rakeem Christmas on Sunday night, and that was only briefly.

With 9:39 left in Syracuse’s (12-4, 3-0 Atlantic Coast) 70-57 win over Florida State (9-7, 1-2) his foot slipped out from underneath him. “Oh sh*t,” he shouted as FSU’s Xavier Rathan-Mayes stripped the ball from him and the SU forward fell on his back.

“I tried to drive and I lost my foot under me and I fell on my butt, so my butt was hurt and I had to stop,” Christmas said.

Rising to his feet slowly, he grabbed the right side of his lower back. But before Christmas could shuffle back down the court, SU had stolen the ball back and Kaleb Joseph was feeding him for a soft two-handed dunk that gave the Orange a 13-point lead.

It was the gentlest motion from Christmas in an all-action performance that Jim Boeheim called the forward’s best defensive game. And while playing scoring-sidekick to Trevor Cooney, the senior showed off his range in the post and delivered his fifth double-double of the season — 14 points and 11 rebounds — in the kind of performance his teammates have come to expect as SU dives further into conference play.

“Rak was — was Rak,” Cooney said. “He’s going to score for us, he’s going to grab the rebounds, he’s our MVP, really.”

Despite playing against three different FSU 7-footers, Christmas controlled the paint for the Orange. He forced the Seminoles to throw up harder, inevitably inaccurate shots that left the visitors scrambling back on defense as another Orange rebound keyed another Orange fast break.

Sunday’s win was the first complete game in which Syracuse looked comfortable in its offense since starting conference play.

“This was our best offensive game since the first half of the Virginia Tech game,” Boeheim said.

As the game wore on, even after Chris McCullough left the game with an injury, it became clear that none of FSU’s big men would contain Christmas.

No Seminole guards were going to drive through him or consistently hit jumpers over him, or any other SU player for that matter.

Christmas would miss some loose-ball put-

backs on the offensive boards, but in short, he stood at the center of a game Syracuse was going to win.

“You know lots of teams have 7-footers, you just can’t look at it like that,” Christmas said.

“I go out there and play my defense and try to keep them out of the lane, make them take tough shots and go on offense.”

It looked as simple as Christmas made it sound.

With 18:22 left in the game, Christmas took a pass from Joseph outside the left block, sprung into the paint and rocketed down a left-handed dunk. He bumped into FSU guard Phil Cofer on the right baseline before jogging back on

defense with a 39-24 lead.

“It always feels good to throw one down, man,” Christmas said.

On the next possession he sunk a 15-foot jumper from inside the left wing, prompting a Florida State timeout.

But not much changed. Christmas continued to snare rebounds, Syracuse kept scoring off them and the Seminoles never found meaningful success at the heart of the SU zone.

Said Cooney: “I mean he had a hell of a matchup down low with those big guys, so I think he did a hell of a job.” jmklinge@syr.edu | @Jacob_Klinger_

Syracuse ends nonconference play with win After dropping the first game of its final nonconference series, Syracuse (6-10-7, 4-2-3 College Hockey America) rebounded to beat North Dakota (10-10-2, 6-8-2 Western Collegiate Hockey), 2-1, on Sunday, despite being outshot, 45-23.

SU goalie Jenn Gilligan stopped a season-high 44 shots and the Orange killed off all six of its penalties. Gilligan tied her career-high for saves, set in 2012 when she played for New Hampshire.

Just under five minutes into the first period, North Dakota defender Gracen

Hirschy went to the box for high sticking.

As the penalty expired, SU forward Melissa Piacentini found the back of the net to put Syracuse up 1-0 on the power play.

The 1-0 score held through the end of the period, but only 29 seconds after the puck dropped to start the second, Syracuse forward Alysha Burriss gave the Orange a 2-0 advantage. Piacentini and forward Stephanie Grossi assisted on the play.

UND responded midway through the second as Hirschy slipped one past Gilligan to

cut the lead to one goal.

The Orange went on the penalty kill twice in the third period, but its special teams unit was able to keep North Dakota off the board.

With less than two minutes remaining, UND pulled its goalie, but Gilligan saved the five ensuing shots to preserve the victory.

Syracuse will head on the road again, traveling to Erie, Pennsylvania to take on Mercyhurst at 3 p.m. on Friday to start a two-game set.

postgame playbook the big three Trevor Cooney led Syracuse to victory, but three players from SU’s frontcourt were also talking points in the win.

still christmas Rakeem Christmas didn’t have a sparkling first half by any means, but after Chris McCullough was ruled out for the game, the senior stepped up. He finished with his fifth double-double, posting 14 points and 11 rebounds.

2 not so silent Junior forward Michael Gbinije continued his consistent play across the stat sheet, turning in 11 points, nine rebounds and five assists. He made two of his three 3s and his nine boards were his second-highest total in that category all season.

3 filling in In McCullough’s absence, sophomore Chinonso Obokoh unimpressively filled the void. He missed his only shot and picked up four fouls in five minutes of play. If the freshman is out for longer than the half he sat on Sunday, Obokoh may need to turn in something a bit better.

cooney he hit, I thought he was defended about as well as a guy can be defended.

“Sometimes great shooters will do that, the basket looks bigger to them. Tonight he probably could have thrown it into a smaller basket because it looked a little bigger.”

After McCullough hobbled to the locker room with 11:51 left in the first, Cooney lifted the crowd out of a lull with a 3 from the left wing. Three minutes later, Cooney drifted to the same spot and clanged in another triple off a pass from Ron Patterson.

He then drew the full attention of the Florida State defense out of the under-eight

timeout, as three Seminoles followed Cooney off an off-ball screen leaving Patterson wide open on the other side of the court.

Patterson nailed the shot to give the Orange an early 26-12 lead. With McCullough out and Christmas struggling early on, Cooney’s 14 points helped SU build a 35-22 halftime lead. He was the only player, on either team, with more than seven points heading into the break.

“Trevor got a hot hand and then he made some good plays off the dribble,” Syracuse head coach Jim Boeheim said, “which is the biggest part of the improvement in his game this year.”

After bullying the Seminoles from deep all night, Cooney caught a pass three steps

behind the 3-point line as the shot clock dipped below 10 seconds. The Orange held a 10-point lead but Xavier Rathan-Mayes had just hit a 3, Christmas sat on the bench with four fouls and momentum was swinging in the visitors’ favor.

But instead of looking for another 3, Cooney put the ball on the deck, squeezed through a double team and glided to the rim for a layup.

The next time the shot clock wound down on SU, it was Cooney hitting a top-of-the-arc 3 that sent the crowd into euphoria. When it happened a third time, the SU student section counted down from 10 while a Cooney pump fake saw an FSU defender fly by him into the backcourt.

WGHT: 193

ANCHORAGE, AK

The Florida State junior, one of the program’s best 3-point shooters, missed all six of his attempts from behind the arc. His teammates followed suit, as FSU finished 2-of-16 from 3-point range.

He now stood alone on the left wing after the Seminoles had hounded him all night. He canned the 3 and any chance of a Florida State comeback. Then he flew down the court with his arms outstretched like an airplane — one more celebration for good measure.

“I thought Trevor was great tonight and he really just is at his best when he is being a player, not just a shooter,” SU assistant coach Mike Hopkins said. “He was like the good-looking girl on the court. Wherever he moved 10 Florida State eyes moved with him, trying to stop him.”

And on Sunday, 10 Florida State eyes were never enough.

Freshman exits game with injury

TREVOR COONEY elevates for a 3-pointer during the second half of Syracuse’s win over Florida State on Sunday night in the Carrier Dome. Cooney exploded for a season-high 28 points on 7-of-11 shooting from 3-point land and 9-for-16 overall.

Cooney torches Seminoles from deep, drops 28 points to lead SU to victory

By Jesse Dougherty staff writer

T

revor Cooney was out of celebrations.

In a game he was dominating from beyond the arc, the junior shooting guard had already left his follow-through in

the air, swung a clenched fist in front of his face and pumped his chest three times — all subtle gloats after nailing 3-pointers in the first half on Sunday night.

But when SU’s lead shrunk to nine points with five minutes left in the game, Cooney’s rejoice looked more like relief after he rattled in a 3 as the shot clock dwindled.

He hung his head behind — almost doubling over backward — and took three haggard steps toward the defensive end. And only when he reached the Syracuse logo at midcourt did Cooney lift his head and let out an exuberant scream.

“I wasn’t doing anything different,” Cooney said. “They just went in.”

On a night when freshman forward Chris McCullough left in the

first half with an injury and Rakeem Christmas picked up his fourth foul

with 8:03 left to play, Cooney was at the center of the Orange’s best 3-point shooting performance of the season and led SU (12-4, 3-0 Atlantic Coast) to a 70-57 win over the Seminoles (9-7, 1-2) in front of 24,257 in the Carrier Dome.

Cooney scored a game- and season-high 28 points, shooting 7-of11 from deep while Syracuse made 10-of-17 as a team. The Seminoles shot a woeful 2-of-16 from 3, which was the ultimate difference in the game.

No. 21 Orange holds off UVA runs in 70-58 home win

By Paul Schwedelson asst. copy editor

Virginia’s Faith Randolph knocked down a 3-pointer from the top of the key much to the dismay of Syracuse head coach Quentin Hillsman. He responded by yelling “Come on y’all”

at his players for leaving her wide open.

Randolph then hit a layup and two free throws to bring the Cavaliers within four with nine minutes left in the first half, but it was the closest they’d get for the rest of the game.

Every time UVA went on a run to inch closer, the Orange held it off.

Syracuse opened up an 18-point halftime lead and in the second half, Virginia cut the lead to nine twice. No. 21 SU (11-5, 1-2 Atlantic Coast) didn’t falter, though, en route to what Hillsman said was his team’s best win of the year — a 70-58 victory over the Cavaliers (12-4, 2-1) Sunday afternoon

in front of 708 in the Carrier Dome.

“We settled down … and did some things to stop the run,” Hillsman said.

“That’s something we talked about, too, was making sure we answer runs.”

Hillsman told his team before the game that it was a must-win after see virginia page 15

Chris McCullough went down on a breakaway in the first half of Syracuse’s 70-57 win over Florida State on Sunday in the Carrier Dome and didn’t return.

Play was stopped with 11:51 left in the half and McCullough lay face down on the floor at the right baseline for about 15 seconds. His left arm was tucked under his face and his right above his head after play was stopped before rolling onto his back.

The freshman held his right knee and started to get up once before stopping and clutching his face. Two members of the SU training staff helped him to his feet and he began to limp toward the Syracuse bench at the other side of the court.

The 6-foot-10 McCullough stopped just inside the top of the key, though, where walk-on 6-foot-6 forward Doyin Akintobi-Adeyeye jogged over, replacing a member of the training staff as McCullough wrapped his left arm around his teammate.

McCullough limped off the court, favoring his left knee and did not return to the floor.

At halftime, team spokesman Pete Moore said McCullough was showering, would miss the rest of the game and be re-evaluated in the morning.

“He’s been playing better in practice, so it’s unfortunate, but we’ll find out tomorrow,” SU head coach Jim Boeheim said after the game. “We have no idea right now what it is.”

McCullough is averaging 9.3 points, 6.9 rebounds, 2.1 blocks and 1.7 steals per game, but is in the middle of a slump. He scored four points against the Seminoles, shooting 1-of-2 from the field and hitting a pair of free throws in eight minutes. He also recorded a rebound, a block and a turnover.

Reserve center Chinonso Obokoh — who hadn’t played since Dec. 22, 2014 — came in for Rakeem Christmas when the Orange’s star big man recorded his second foul with 1:54 see mccullough page 15
