Freshman reduces food waste with freeganism By Momin Rafi contributing writer
Henry Nelson was fi rst exposed to the practice of freeganism when he worked as a full-time volunteer at Fair Foods Inc. in Boston. Freeganism is a movement and practice centered on reclaiming food and conserving waste. “It’s a way of advocating for the conservation of food, the proper distribution of food and advocating against food waste,” said Nelson, an undeclared freshman in the College of Arts and Sciences. “Society currently views food as a commodity, and we want to change the view of food to seeing it as a basic human right.” During his time at Fair Foods Inc., Nelson was part of a network that moves more than 10,000 pounds of food — destined to be thrown away — to low-income areas in Boston. The program has existed since 1988 and has redistributed over 100 million pounds of wasted food. This is where Nelson witnessed freeganism on a major scale. Nelson now works with the Food Recovery Network — a Syracuse Uni-
versity and State University of New York Environmental Science and Forestry club that reclaims locally wasted food. Nelson said the club redistributed 2,000 pounds of food that was going to be wasted by the Syracuse University dining halls last semester. As for the presence of freeganism in his daily life, Nelson has — on a few occasions — personally reclaimed food for himself and a few friends. “The places that tend to throw out the most are supermarkets,” Nelson said. “If you get a bunch of bananas and one of the bananas is bruised you have to throw away the bunch. If you get a box of apples and two of the apples are rotten, you have to throw away the box.” Nelson said these are the standards that consumers hold supermarkets to, even though the standards don’t make sense. The unnecessary waste a store produces in one day could feed a few families, he added. “Institutionalizing the idea of saving food is important even though it might go against capitalistic ideas,” Nelson said. “It’s all in the name of a sustainable future.” mrafi@syr.edu

Cuomo proposes plan to relieve college debt By Delaney Van Wey contributing writer
A new plan proposed by Governor Andrew Cuomo could release Syracuse University graduates from their first two years of loan payments.
Last week, Cuomo announced his new Get on Your Feet Loan Forgiveness Program as part of his 2015 Opportunity Agenda. The plan has the potential to affect 60 to 65 percent of SU graduates, said Mike Cahill, director of Syracuse University Career Services.
To be eligible for the program, students will have to be a graduate of a New York state university or college, must remain living in the state after graduation and must be enrolled in the federal Pay As You Earn program, according to a Jan. 21 Syracuse.com article. Additionally,
in order to take advantage of the program, graduates could not have an income of more than $50,000 a year, and the program will begin with graduates in the class of 2015. The federal Pay As You Earn program is open to students with see debt page 8
App launches at SU, aids in navigation of campus By Brigid Kennedy staff writer
Campus Maps, a new app designed to help students find their way around campus, recently launched at Syracuse University. Available online or on a smartphone, Campus Maps is an interactive map tool developed by University of Maryland alumnus Vikram Bhandari. Users choose where they need to go from the
app’s list of buildings, and Campus Maps does the rest. The entire process takes seven seconds, Bhandari said. The map for the SU campus features 98 different locations, according to the Campus Maps website. Bhandari created the app for personal use during his sophomore year at Maryland.

University Place will close from 6–8 p.m. on Monday because of sorority recruitment at the Schine Student Center. Syracuse University’s Panhellenic sororities will offer bids to female students in Schine on Monday night as part of spring recruitment. The event, known as Bid Day, has most commonly taken place on a Sunday. Last spring was the first year the event was held on a Monday. University Place was closed last spring as well. The event will cause University Place to be closed from 6–8 p.m. due to safety concerns, said Scot Vanderpool, manager of SU parking and transit services. The road will be staffed during that time in order to stop traffic when students are crossing, he said. Ashlee Newman, president of the SU Panhellenic Council, declined to comment for this story. rsandler@syr.edu

THE General Body hosts ‘Teach In to Act Out’ summit THE General Body would like to invite all interested students, faculty, staff and community members to our free and open “Teach In to Act Out” this coming Friday and Saturday, January 30 and 31. This series of panels, workshops and performances focusing on student and community activism and the corporate university will be held at the Community Folk Art Center, just a short walk from campus at 805 E. Genesee St. The event includes a keynote speech by Dr. Margo Okazawa-Rey, a scholar in transnational anti-racist feminist praxis, armed conflicts, militarism and violence against women and theories and practices of social change. There will also be a creative non-fiction workshop led by Minnie Bruce Pratt, a writer, activist and SU professor of women’s and gender studies and writing and rhetoric. The event concludes with a workshop and performance by DarkMatter, a trans South Asian art and activist collaboration committed to an art practice of gender self(ie) determination, racial justice and movement building. Our generous co-sponsors include the Democratizing Knowledge Project, Community Folk Art Center, Cold Case Justice Initiative, Black Political Thought, Asian Students in America and the Departments of Women’s and Gender Studies, Geography, Labor Studies, Anthropology, Cultural Foun-
dations of Education, English, History, LGBT Studies, Languages, Literatures, and Linguistics, Latino-Latin American Studies, African American Studies and Communication and Rhetorical Studies. Students across the nation are mobilizing for change. On November 20, 2014, THE General Body, a coalition of student organizations, faculty and staff, left Crouse-Hinds after an 18-day sit-in. The movement called on university administration to promote better diversity and transparency in its decision-making. Just one day before, students at UC Berkeley began a seven-day sit-in in their administration’s office to protest a forthcoming tuition hike. In the following weeks, students across the country rallied, marched and staged die-ins to protest the grand jury’s decision not to indict the Ferguson police officer who shot and killed Michael Brown. We hope you will join us in developing our organizing skills and placing our own activism within a broader historical context. Please visit THEgeneralbody.org to see the event’s full schedule and register. We ask that participants register by Monday, January 26 so that we have enough time to plan food and any accommodations. Feel free to email THEgeneralbody@gmail.com with any questions. THE General Body

Billy Joel ticket price cut came too late The Carrier Dome’s decision to sell discounted student tickets for the Billy Joel concert more than a month after the original tickets went on sale was poorly planned and unfair to the Syracuse University student body. It was announced on Dec. 1, 2014 that Billy Joel would return to the Carrier Dome for the seventh time on March 20. When the tickets first went on sale Dec. 6 at 9 a.m., tickets were available for purchase at Ticketmaster and the Carrier Dome box office for $59.50 and $89.50 before fees. On Friday, the Carrier Dome box office sent an email to SU students informing them that discounted tickets would become available. The tickets would be sold on a first come first served basis and an SUID would be
required when purchasing at the box office. The tickets went on sale at 5 p.m. later that day for $19.50, less than onethird of the price of the original tickets. While the Billy Joel concert is targeted to the general public, and not put on for SU students exclusively, they should have been considered. The Carrier Dome is a part of the SU campus, and making student tickets available for a discounted is only fair. But many students felt blindsided when the discounted tickets were made available, because there had been no indication that this was the Carrier Dome Box Office’s plan at the time that the concert was announced. Concert organizers should have let students know that they would have the opportunity to buy the full price tickets for better seats, or that they

could opt to purchase cheaper seats that would be located in the back. Students could have chosen to pay for the better seats, or could have held out for the nosebleeds. At the time the concert was announced, the Carrier Dome projected that the 38,242 tickets would sell out. On Sunday night student tickets were still available for purchase on Ticketmaster. Bringing Billy Joel to the Carrier Dome has pleased many students and locals, but this mishandling of the student tickets has also caused frustration. Concert organizers should have been upfront with students about their options, rather than making them pay for tickets that they could get at less than a third of the price a few weeks later.

Plan for free community college should consider alternative funding
I
n his State of the Union speech last Tuesday, President Barack Obama didn’t address the controversial Keystone XL pipeline or even North Korea by name. He did, however, spend a good amount of time on education reform. “I am sending this Congress a bold new plan to lower the cost of community college to zero,” Obama said in the State of the Union. Here’s the catch: zero has a price. If community college should become free like the president plans, $60 billion in tuition will have to come from somewhere. And that $60 billion won’t even cover all the costs; the budget proposal for the plan says that figure will make up only 75 percent of tuition costs. The remaining 25 percent would fall on the states to crunch the numbers. Granted, the government hopes to achieve free community college in 10 years. That means that in the

coming years, Americans will only see incrementally more subsidies and tax credits, if Congress approves the plan. Obama’s efforts at improving America’s surprisingly lagging education system are much needed. Ironically, instead of making education more accessible for Americans, the current proposal’s model for funding that $60 billion could be making costs of college even more expensive. So here’s the plan: Obama hopes to pay for the free community college tuition by rolling back tax breaks on 529 education savings plans. Parents sending kids to college will use these plans to keep money they intend to use toward tuition costs. The money

can be held and invested into a mutual fund for growth, much like a 401k retirement plan. As it stands, the federal government does not tax any growth in a 529 education savings plan — although these contributions are not deductible on tax return filings. The government also does not tax any withdrawals from a 529 account at times of tuition payment. In some cases, states also offer tax benefits. These tax benefits make it easier for middle class families to put away savings intended solely for tuition, adding some comfort in a time where college tuition costs are at astronomical and unprecedented highs. But the proposal for free community college hopes to fundraise money by requiring tax payments on 529 accounts. Estimates say the additional tax revenue could bring in $2 billion, which would be used to
beef up the American Opportunity tax credit currently used to write-off costs for low and middle income families paying tuition bills. In other words, making community college free means increasing college costs for other Americans. Some proponents of free community college claim that families with 529 accounts would likely have large enough of an income to survive a new tax. And all things considered, the controversy around the tax proposal concerns funding for only a small fraction of the $60 billion needed to make community college free by 2025. Fundraising would have to come from other sources, which could come from budget cuts, reallocated funds or more tax reform. In all fairness, Obama is addressing an important problem. With future generations riding on more skilled work in an ever increasing
competitive job market, helping Americans get degrees is the only hope for increased social mobility. In Tennessee, Gov. Bill Haslam last year unveiled his own free community college plan to prop up a state that places 43rd in the nation in share of residents who’ve completed college. But it seems counterintuitive for the Obama administration to solve the issue of expensive college by forcing the costs onto other Americans trying to save and pay for college. Cleaning up the proposal by paying for the price of “free” community college through alternative sources of funding would be the only way to ensure that college costs will be affordable for all Americans.

saint absorbed SU’s College of Medicine in the 1950s. Although the German-born Cope grew up in Utica and joined the Sisters of St. Francis in Syracuse, she is especially known for her work in Hawaii in the late 1800s and early 1900s. There, she led fellow Franciscan nuns in bringing compassion and modern infection control methods to an otherwise neglected and misunderstood leper community. “They were treated as patients or worse,” said Kristin Barrett-Anderson, operations manager of the St. Marianne Cope Shrine and Museum, explaining that individuals with leprosy — now known as Hansen’s Disease — were isolated in Hawaii’s Kalaupapa peninsula. Cope brought music, gardens, games and family back into the lives of her patients, Barrett-Anderson said. Cope’s story is told on the walls of the North Townsend Street museum in Syracuse, which

I stopped believing the numbers at one point.” The number of downloads quintupled the first year and tripled the next. To expand the app’s reach, Bhandari is mapping all the “big” schools. That’s where SU comes in. “At heart, I’m still very data driven,” he said, “What I wanted to know is, with limited resources, how do I reach the most students?

Barrett-Anderson said developed as a response to the decision of Sisters of St. Francis of the Neumann Communities to sell their Court Street residence and headquarters. The closure of this Court Street campus forced a new arrangement for Cope’s remains, which had been held in a shrine on the campus since her exhumation from Hawaii in 2005 as part of her canonization process. Cope’s remains were sent back to Hawaii last year, while the Franciscan community in Syracuse refitted a former radiotherapy building on St. Joseph’s campus with a museum and shrine. St. Joseph’s is still sponsored by the Franciscan sisters. In its first months, Barrett-Anderson said, the museum and shrine have served as a resource to educate the community about Cope and her work. Visitors range from tour groups to visitors to the nearby hospital, who might stumble onto the building spontaneously and spend a few minutes perusing Cope’s correspondences or reflecting at her shrine.
“Many people come looking for hope and healing,” Canora said, speaking especially of visitors from St. Joseph’s. The two miracles attributed to Cope — which fulfilled one requirement on her path to

The app is available on 100 college campuses and seven of the 15 schools in the Atlantic Coast Conference, including SU, use the app. Bhandari said he found that Google Maps wasn’t much help for students in navigating campus, which was part of the inspiration for his app. Campus Maps aims to combat that problem through strong quality control and direct feedback from students. To map a campus, Bhandari first finds all the buildings at a high level and puts them in a list. Next, he aggregates all official, interactive maps of the school and matches

One of these patients, who was 14 years old when the miracle took place in 1992, is still alive today. Canora said she also takes Cope’s story out to the community, speaking at several local Catholic schools, for example. When speaking with young students preparing for confirmation — a Catholic rite that asks individuals to take on the name of a saint whom they admire — she said she encourages young women to choose Marianne. “This is a saint in their lifetime,” Canora said, contrasting this to an arguably less relatable 16th century European saint. In the Cope’s Franciscan community in Syracuse, too, her legacy continues even as the sisters no longer need to follow in her literal path of caring for those with Hansen’s Disease. “Her virtues are still Franciscan virtues,” Canora said. “The message is the same: follow the needs of the times.” nagorny@syr.edu | @Nicki_Gorny

Bhandari has made it his personal mission to help students like Costa, and said he hopes Campus Maps can reach as many schools as possible. “This is what I view as making a difference. There’s no one map source for every campus in the U.S. and that feels wrong to me,” Bhandari said. “I just want to build an app that people love and use and gets you where you need to go.” brkenned@syr.edu

SUNY-ESF’s Moon library hosts exhibit on Harry Potter, renaissance science By Anjali Alwis staff writer
A
fter a two-year wait, the Harry Potter exhibit from the National Library of Medicine has finally arrived at SUNY-ESF. “Harry Potter’s World: Renaissance Science, Magic and Medicine,” a traveling exhibit sponsored by the National Library of Medicine, is on display at Moon Library on the campus of the State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry until Feb. 28. Harry Potter is a best-selling children’s book series by author J.K. Rowling. The exhibit, which stands at the front of Moon Library, is comprised of six large posters with information about the world of Harry Potter that students are encouraged to explore. It first went on display in Moon Library last Monday. Jessica Clemons, the senior assistant librarian at SUNY-ESF, heard about this exhibit when the institution she worked at previously had considered applying for the exhibit. The National Library of Medicine has several exhibits and it puts together a package and uses primary resources from its collection to try to make it culturally relevant. “They design the poster and they have educational resources available online,” Clemons said. “I was looking at it and thinking: ‘I really like Harry Potter, I know a lot of students really like Harry Potter and it would be nice to have something different in the library.’” Megan Ewald, a senior environmental policy planning and law major who works at the desk in the library, is one of many students who is excited by the exhibit. She said she has seen students walk in and be surprised and excited by the exhibit, walking all the way around it and reading everything. “Are you kidding me? I think I read the first Harry Potter book in first grade,” said Ewald. “We all grew up with Harry Potter, and

In conjunction with the exhibit, the library has created a complementary book exhibit that highlights some of the scientific aspects of the fictional world. Clemons said there is a literature tie that’s more associated with public libraries, but the exhibit at Moon Library is meant to be more academic and use primary sources. The books talk about fantastic beasts and Moon Library has an impressive zoology collection, she said. While the library does not have many Harry Potter books themselves, the exhibit manages to tie in the academic aspect of the world of Harry Potter by allowing students to learn more about owls or herbology. Since the exhibit will only be on the SUNY-ESF campus until the end of February, the library plans to make full use of the new attraction. On Feb. 13, there will be a Harry Potter themed night,
which will include trivia games and food. “We’re going to talk about Harry Potter, talk about trivia — and just reinforce that the library is a place to help them have fun,” Clemons said. “It’s nice to just be engaging, even if it’s in a non-scholarly way.” The library has been reaching out to students, such as the alchemist club and the school’s Quidditch team in order to encourage the idea that the library can act as a bridge for students, helping them to do their research and also have fun. “It is interesting just looking at how far science has come,” Clemons said. “There are drawings of mermaids from the 17th century. Obviously we are not studying mermaids at ESF but it’s just trying to highlight some of the work we do and have a little fun.” acalwis@syr.edu

The PAYE program limits monthly loan repayments to 10 percent of a graduate’s disposable income, forgiving the remainder of the loan after 20 years. If employed in a public service position, forgiveness occurs after 10 years, according to a June 11 U.S. News and World Report article. The amount forgiven on the loan is taxed as income, unless you are in public service. Cuomo’s initiative would pay for a graduate’s PAYE bills for the first two years postgraduation. Despite these strict parameters, Donald Dutkowsky, an economics professor in the Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs, said Cuomo is taking “one good step” toward revitalizing New York state and keeping graduates in the area. Dutkowsky said by tacking on these incentives, the government is trying to make the benefits of staying in New York outweigh the costs, such as high taxes and slower job growth, which are especially problematic in the upstate area. With this program, Dutkowsky said, Cuomo is trying “to encourage students to see New York state as a place to live.”
“This can’t be the only step,” he added, saying that the state government would also have to look into other ways to improve the state’s economy. But, he added, keeping college graduates in the state, helping them settle down and attracting businesses looking for skilled workers is a solid start. Nayeli Jimenez, a sophomore biology major, said the new program could definitely sway her decision to stay in the state. If she cannot find employment in her field after graduation, Jimenez said during those two years she can look for another job, perhaps one that would be more aligned with her goals. For some, however, other factors weigh more heavily in their decisions about their future. Hunter Longland, a sophomore economics major, said that his dreams of going out West trump Cuomo’s proposal. He also said that, “it depends a lot on the field you’re going into.” While engineers will probably make more than $50,000, Longland said, this type of program could greatly assist educators and those in fields with lower starting salaries. Cahill, the director of Career Services at SU, said the average starting salary of a college graduate is $43,000. He said that the program is definitely “something students should be aware of and consider.” But he said that he wouldn’t expect the number of students who stay in New York to increase significantly, which is consistently somewhere in the “50 percent range” of SU graduates. He added that the government should “want to encourage education…[and] for people to [get an education] now it’s becoming more and more necessary to borrow money.” dovanwey@syr.edu

Syracuse fan names child Cuse By Jacob Gedetsis asst. feature editor

For Michael Dow, his “addiction” with Syracuse University sports stretches far beyond his three Syracuse tattoos — for him, ‘Cuse has a deeper meaning. “I have always had a huge passion for Syracuse,” Dow said. “‘Cuse is always something I wanted to name my kid.” In 2009, Dow, from Gloversville, New York, got his wish. On the way home from the hospital, wearing a white beanie with an embroidered Syracuse block “S,” Avery Cuse Dow slept in the backseat. While preparing for the child’s arrival, the couple bought every Syracuse thing they could get their hands on: jerseys, T-shirts, booties, binkies and more. After some convincing, Dow persuaded his first wife, Crystal Oathout, to name the child after the university. The parents played around with several variations of the name. If it was a boy, his first name was to be

ingredients
how to make Them
Fillings and toppings:
1. Melt the fillings by placing them in a bowl and heating them on high for 1-2 minutes in a microwave. Stir well with a spoon until the chips have fully melted.
1. Chocolate with Sno-Caps 2. White chocolate with peppermint 3. Chocolate with walnuts
Alternative fillings: Nutella, caramel, dark chocolate
Alternative toppings: Peanut butter chips, baby marshmallows, sea salt
Items needed: Wax paper, spoons and bowls
2. Make sure the toppings are small enough to be placed in a spoon. For items such as peppermint candies, an easy method is to place them in a Ziploc bag and crush them against a hard surface. 3. Take the spoons and use them to scoop the chocolate. With the spoonful ready, place the toppings according to flavor and taste preferences. 4. Place wax paper on a plate and put the spoons on the wax paper. Once the plate is full, place it in the freezer so it can harden. 5. After 30–45 minutes, take the spoons out of the freezer and eat. These can be eaten off the spoon or placed in drinks such as hot chocolate, coffee or tea, depending on your preference.

simply Cuse. As for a girl they thought of Sarah Cuse for a while, but decided against it in favor of Avery. “I actually liked Cuse Otto, but we thought that would be a little too much,” Oathout said. Dow said people know about his obsession with Syracuse sports, and not many people were surprised he planned to incorporate Cuse in the name. He admits that not everyone is in love with the name, but that his friends and family were supportive. “Honestly, I think Cuse has a cute ring to it as it is,” Dow said. “It’s not like we are calling her Georgetown or Notre Dame or some other kind of swear word like that.” The 6-year-old goes by Cuse, Dow said, but they wanted to give her the option of going by Avery when she was older. Dow said no one calls her Avery except for his mother. see cuse page 10

National audiences should credit designers at red carpet events
A
ll designers dream of having a celebrity wear their creations on the red carpet. The lights and the cameras are drawn to the stars and what they are donning. “Who are you wearing?” every celebrity will be asked. And every designer wants to be the answer. But it honestly may never matter anymore, since designers are getting less recognition for their creations than ever before. The morning after a red carpet show, everyone discusses who dressed to impress and who should try harder. But the talk is hardly ever over the looks. There is no gushing over the skill of a bias cut or the brilliance of subtle beading. There is virtually no mention of the designer’s name. It becomes all about who wears the look, not who was behind its creation. It’s all about Lupita’s (Ralph Lauren) cape, Pharrell’s (Vivienne Westwood) hat and Rihanna’s (Tom Ford) pasties. I’m sure if I mentioned Jennifer Lawrence’s

“It is up to her to go by Cuse when she is older. She will always have that name either way,” Dow said. “I think she will embrace it, and she might go through phases in her awkward teenage years where she might be, ‘Well, I don’t know if I like it,’ but I think as she gets older that she will absolutely love the name.” The young girl prefers to go by Cuse, but she sometimes pushes her parents’ buttons. “Sometimes when I get upset and I say,
white trash bag-esque dress from the 2014 Golden Globes, you would know exactly what I’m talking about, but have no idea who made it. To be honest neither did I — It’s Dior. I looked it up. And that’s a tragedy. These designers pour hour into creating dresses to make these celebs feel special for a night and no one is keeping tabs. Or at least no one I know is. The only people keeping score may be the workers in New York, Milan and Paris, the fashion capitals. They tally the designers as they come down the carpet, comparing notes on if there were more Versace gowns than Valentino. Clothes come down the carpet like they are chocolates on a conveyor belt. We see them so
quickly and then before we know it they are gone, with very little taste left in our mouth of what we liked about them. By the time we get to the awards show, we forget what our favorite dresses look like and, more importantly, who made them. There was once a time — when awards shows were still in their beginning stages — when celebrities wore beautifully designed dresses and everyone wanted to know who made them. More often than not, it could transform their careers and bring light to their designs. Instead, celebrities do very little to boost designers’ careers. The tables have turned — fashion is more necessary than ever for celebrities to boost their image . They are constantly posting photos on Instagram and Twitter of their carefully styled outfits that make them look one part hipster one part fashion guru. The paparazzi follow
them everywhere, making it necessary for them to look good even after a sweaty workout. But the red carpet is where they need to shine. Wearing just the right look has the ability to turn an average actress into a style icon. Designers are turning away from celebrities and more toward social media and self-promotion. Celebrities are just another tool — not their main one — that they use to get their name out there. Designers deserve recognition for the work that they have put into all of their looks. Sketching such beautiful dresses, sewing them with detail to the tiniest bead and tailoring them perfectly to stars’ bodies is no easy feat. And when celebrities walk down the red carpet looking fabulous and stylish, designers deserve to have the world know that it’s their creation.
‘Cuse get over here,’ she will say, ‘My name’s not Cuse,’” Oathout said. His second and current wife, Ashley Dow, said when she first heard his daughter’s name was Cuse, she thought it was “a little obsessive,” but that it totally fits Cuse’s personality as a tomboy. Like many fathers, Dow hopes one day his daughter goes to college, but hopes of visiting her on the Hill as a Syracuse University student. “Her going to Georgetown — that might be an issue — but as long as she goes to college and is happy. I would prefer it would be in Syracuse, but if not that’s OK, too,” Dow said.
“Eventually, she is going to have to make her own decisions, but hopefully I will brainwash her enough to know what the right ones are.” Oathout described Cuse as energetic and as a major goofball, saying that Cuse is not a typical “girlie-girl” and is a “brute” at times. “She is our very random child — you never know with her,” Ashley Dow said. “She isn’t a very whiny girl, she is very well-behaved, but she’s our crazy girl.” Michael Dow said they often watch football and basketball games together. Cuse has never been to campus, but Dow hopes to make the two-
hour journey from Gloversville, New York soon. “She hasn’t been to Syracuse or to a game yet, but she’s at the age that she would really like it, so we do plan on coming,” Dow said. Currently attending kindergarten, Cuse said her favorite class is gym and that she likes to swing at recess. She said her favorite piece of clothing is her Syracuse jersey. When asked what her favorite color was, Cuse did not hesitate to answer. “Orange and blue, because they are the Syracuse colors.”

cozy up
Cheap, simple Bhutanese menu at Red Dragon House makes for good comfort food By Rose Aschebrock contributing writer
R
ed Dragon House would more adequately be described as a bar than a restaurant. Tucked into a small, beige painted building on the corner of Lodi Street and East Division Street, I finally identified it for the flashing lights in the window and the lit-up board saying “Red Dragon House.” It has a small food menu with 11 options and an extensive drink menu in addition to a fully stocked spirits bar.
One thing to note is that Red Dragon House serves the real-sugar Mexican Coca-Cola drink, in glass bottles. It made ordering a Coke by far the best part of the night. I was drawn to try Red Dragon House because I was interested by its cuisine style. As the first Bhutanese restaurant to open in Syracuse — and the first I had ever been to — I did my research. Bhutanese food comes from central Asia in the mountainous kingdom of Bhutan and is likened to a fusion of Indian and Chinese cuisines. This was also reflected in the decor of the restaurant, which was simple, clean and sparsely
furnished. It featured a stuffed deer mounted above the entrance, neon lights flashing in the windows, a jukebox on the front wall and a single Chinese lantern hanging in the middle of the room. It also had two pool tables in a back room that seemed to be the main attraction of the place. Although all the tables were full, the security TV behind the bar revealed the majority of people actually present in the building were playing pool. After being seated, we started with a plate of circular fried thin bread, smothered in oil, called “roti” and a pitcher of water. I ordered a full plate of Momo and Sauce and a four-piece Samosa & Soup. The waiter, wearing a red beanie and a black leather jacket, told me these two dishes are the house specialties. Most entrees featured a vegetarian option. In addition, I ordered full vegetarian plates of Thukpa — spaghetti with soup — and Chow Mein & Tomato Sauce and, of course, the Coca-Cola. All the dishes are offered in different plate sizes and quantities. These very generous servings are all reasonably priced. The food arrived at different times, but the entire order was promptly brought to the table
within seven minutes. The Momo and Sauce arrived first and contained peas and cabbage in a slightly dry rice paper. Next was the Samosa & Soup — the samosa had a crunchy exterior and was filled with a salty soft potato, pea and cabbage interior. It was also a little dry, but tasted much better when dipped in the accompanying soup. The Chow Mein — my personal favorite — had a really nice, spicy bite to it, which helped lessen the intensity of the salt, and again contained the pea and cabbage vegetable combination. The only meal I would not recommend was the Thukpa. It was comprised of thick white noodles swimming in the same soup that accompanied the samosa, with a green pea base mixed in. Aside from the saltiness, I didn’t feel it had a taste of its own to stand on. A large flat-screen TV playing a Bollywood movie was being screened at an angle that all tables could enjoy while eating their meals. While I wouldn’t recommend it as a great place to take a date or even go with a group of friends, it is great comfort food for takeaway to munch on while having a cozy movie night in. rlascheb@syr.edu

women’s basketball
Day utilizes size advantage to dominate N.C. State bigs By Josh Hyber staff writer
With an eight-inch height differential, North Carolina State’s Miah Spencer proved no match for Syracuse center Briana Day. As SU forward Taylor Ford was guarded by Wolfpack center Carlee Schuhmacher at the right elbow, the 6-foot-4 Day found herself alone underneath the basket, caught a pass from Ford and banked in a layup while being fouled by the 5-foot-8 Spencer. After the play, SU reserve center Bria Day, Briana’s twin sister, turned to SU graduate assistant Kathleen Moroney on the bench. The assistant flipped through a pile of stat sheets and said to Bria Day, “Three more blocks for a triple-double.” Though that feat never came to fruition, Briana Day clogged the stat sheet on Sunday in SU’s matchup with N.C. State. The center finished with 11 points, 16 rebounds and seven blocks, and aided the No. 23 Orange (15-5, 5-2 Atlantic Coast) in its 66-49 victory over the Wolfpack (12-8, 3-4). “Briana Day was a beast down there,” Syracuse head coach Quentin Hillsman said. “Anything in that paint, she went and she got it. “She had a big girl game.” In a 33-second sequence at the midway point of the first half, Day swiped a steal from Schuhmacher. Seconds later, Day blocked a 3-point attempt from Wolfpack guard Ashley Williams. SU went to Day on its first two possessions of the second half, the second resulting in a layup from underneath the basket on a feed from Isabella Slim that ended a nine and a half minute stretch for SU without a field goal. “She’s a lot quicker, so if we can take advan-

tage of her matchup as well as our guard matchups, we’ll be a better team,” said SU point guard Alexis Peterson. “I wanted to feed her, get her going early and get her some looks inside.” Five minutes later, Day spun to her left hand and laid in a scoop layup while being fouled. She was poked in the right eye by Schuhmacher, and had to take a moment with the help of a trainer to readjust her contact lens. After the game, Hillsman said SU’s offense did a good job of recognizing when the N.C. State defense spread the floor and created room for Day to maneuver in the paint. On defense, the head coach said Day allowed SU to “scramble and to go get traps.” Hillsman said Day’s performance reminded him of one that would come from Kayla Alexander, the program’s leading scorer and a WNBA first-round draft pick. “When teams broke us down, Kayla was there to block shots and Briana Day is there to block shots,” Hillsman said. “I really believe that Briana is a little more athletic than Kayla in her movements, but I guess I shouldn’t say that about a 2,000-point scorer.” Day said she knew how well she was playing as the game went on. In an SU huddle after a Brianna Butler made 3-pointer, the normally stoic Day let out a brief smile. It was an emotion enabled by an all-around dominant performance, and one that her teammates had a sense of early on. “When I notice that she has a lot of rebounds, I try to tip it to her,” Ford said. “I’m always trying to help her out. When I feel like my teammates are playing good, keep rewarding them … If Briana has 16 rebounds and 7 blocks, why not let her get more?”

despite getting outrebounded by both. The Orange limited the Demon Deacons to 11 offensive rebounds as SU snagged 24 defensive boards and 15 rebounds on offense. And when Syracuse does give up an offensive rebound, the team’s not giving up many points. When it does, it loses. Syracuse has allowed 10.7 second-chance points per game in ACC play off an average of 11.6 offensive rebounds per game. Clemson and Miami are the only two conference opponents to have more second-chance points than offensive rebounds against the Orange. They’re also SU’s only conference losses. “We’ve got to go rebound with a lot of teams, from page 16
tokoto Heels (16-4, 6-1 Atlantic Coast) host Syracuse (14-6, 5-2) on Monday at 7 p.m. North Carolina head coach Roy Williams said Tokoto, who saw significant minutes his first two years, has become more consistent this season for a UNC team that has won 10 of its last 11 games. “He’s had some unbelievable games,” Williams said. “He can make a great block or a great steal that jumps out at people.” When he was 18, J.P. Tokoto disobeyed his mother to jumpstart his professional career — the elder Tokoto, that is. His mother forbade him from traveling to France to play professional soccer, but Tokoto, now 66, didn’t listen. He knew — as the younger Tokoto now knows — he had to make constant sacrifices to achieve his professional dream. His sister was a flight attendant, and she helped him sneak on a plane traveling from Cameroon to France. Tokoto went on to play on the 1982 Cameroonian World Cup team. Decades later, nearly every weekend, Trimble drove her son one hour, 25 minutes, from Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin, to Rockland, Illinois to her father. There, J.P. became his grandfather’s protégé on the soccer field. “He was my first coach,” Tokoto said. “I started from page 16
n.c. state and we started making some baskets. It kind of turned us over and got us excited.” Peterson said the team started matching defensively in the press, which helped speed it up. With 11 minutes to go in the game, Cornelia Fondren stole a pass from Miah Spencer, tossed to Peterson from her knees, who in turn whipped it to a wide-open Taylor Ford for an easy layup. After N.C. State inbounded the ball, the press defense hurriedly forced a 10-second violation in the backcourt. The Orange players clapped at half court, with Peterson high-fiving every one of her teammates before shouting, “Let’s go.” Syracuse was up 17, and had just bookended its longest scoring run of the season. “I think in the first half, we didn’t play with our energy,” Hillsman said. “In the second half, I think that we came out and we rectified that early. Anything tough we were going to get it. Anything physical, we were going to take

out with soccer when I was 4 or 5 years old.” Tokoto didn’t just play — he excelled. He played in an older age group and was still faster and more nimble than most players. When he shifted to basketball, Tokoto was well equipped to succeed. In soccer and basketball, Tokoto said, it’s imperative to not look down when dribbling. The key is to keep the ball in front and search for teammates. He used to work with his grandfather on soccer agility drills and increasing his stamina, which gave him an advantage when he ultimately switched to basketball. “I’ve learned a lot from him that I use in basketball,” Tokoto said. “My work ethic, part of it comes from my grandfather, knowing what he accomplished.” Tokoto still plays soccer on occasion. If he hears about a pickup game he doesn’t hesitate to join. But with 2013–14 ACC All-Defensive team honors to his name, it’s clear Tokoto made the right decision to switch sports. That’s not to say he doesn’t still keep in touch with his grandfather. They still talk on the phone often. The elder Tokoto shares countless stories with the entire family. One time he played against Pelé. Another time, as the story goes, Cameroonian fans climbed onto poles to peek into the stadium to see his last game for the national team.
care of.” Hillsman said that he didn’t think his team got to the loose balls, and as a result, it was struggling to score in its transition offense. But in the second half, everything changed. A 24.1-percent shooting half turned into 52 percent after the break. Defensively, the Orange held N.C. State to 20.7 percent shooting in a 20-point second half. Ford, who scored five of her six points and collected all four of her rebounds in the second half, said it’s the little things that generate the big runs. “It’s just an instinct,” Ford said. “If I’m not scoring, I’m always trying to do other things.” Last season, a nine-point SU lead with nine minutes to play at N.C. State turned into a six-point loss in its ACC opener. When the two had a rematch in the conference tournament, a 25-1 Wolfpack run in the second half eliminated the Orange. When SU was presented with a similar precarious lead on Sunday, it ran with it instead of wilting. The team was reminded of those losses by Hillsman during a huddle in the second half. This time the defense stood pat, and with it,
ond-chance points and they really made us work on the glass,” SU forward Michael Gbinije said. “They did a good job of rebounding and the rebounds that we got were tough ones.” The North Carolina team that Syracuse faces on Monday, though, is more than the best rebounding team the Orange will face this season. The Tar Heels are the top team SU has played since it lost to Villanova, 82-77, on Dec. 20. In the Dean Smith Center on Monday night, Syracuse will be put to its toughest test on the glass and those loose balls off of missed shots will be more valuable than ever. “Tyler, Mike, they’re doing a great job down there trying to get rebounds,” Christmas said. “The rebounds lead to offense for us.” jmklinge@syr.edu | @Jacob_Klinger_

Boeheim shuts down talk of NCAA Tournament after loss By Phil D’Abbraccio

sports editor
All Jim Boeheim was willing to discuss were free throws. After his Syracuse (14-6, 5-2 Atlantic Coast) team made just 8-of-19 from the line in its 66-62 loss to Miami (14-5, 4-2) on Saturday in the Carrier Dome, Boeheim didn’t expand much in his postgame press conference on topics other than SU’s woeful free-throw shooting. Until a reporter asked if the head coach thought his team has fallen behind in terms of building a resume worth an NCAA Tournament bid. The Orange, at 14-6 with a demand-

missing the NCAA Tournament for the first time since the 2007-08 season.
“Ridiculous. You’re the worst I’ve ever been around,” Boeheim said to the reporter. “We do not talk — maybe you’re new, I don’t know. We don’t talk about postseason. We don’t think about it. We play the next game. You guys, that’s your job. Don’t ask me that because I won’t answer it.” Another reporter chimed in and said that ESPN play-by-play broadcaster Sean McDonough, on the air, spoke about a conversation he had with Boeheim before the game in which the longtime SU head coach discussed the NCAA Tournament. “All I said to him was that every game is important,” Boeheim said, referring to McDonough. “You have to win every game. You have
to win to get in the tournament. We’re not in and we’re not out. That’s all I said to him.” “… But I never talk about the tournament, never speculate about it, in or out,” Boeheim continued. “That’s for somebody else to decide that at the end of the year. They’re always tough calls. We’ve just got to play, win as many as we can and put ourselves in position and whatever happens happens. That’s always been my policy. That’s all I’ve ever said. “I might’ve said it’s not going to be easy, but that’s not a revelation. I think if you watch us play, it’s not going to be easy. But we’ll see what happens.” pmdabbra@syr.edu | @PhilDabb

Flanagan opens up after Syracuse loses to RIT in overtime By Jon Mettus staff writer
ROCHESTER, N.Y. — Paul Flanagan sat alone outside of Gene Polisseni Center, staring into an empty parking lot, his hands stuffed in the pockets of his blue Syracuse ice hockey jacket. “I just needed to cool off,” Flanagan said. SU’s players were still in the locker room having a team meeting, and stayed there for 54 minutes after the game ended. Earlier, the Orange had tied its game against Rochester Institute of Technology with just 11 seconds left in regulation. The chants of “defense” ringing throughout the stadium were silenced and SU’s players hugged each other. But two minutes into overtime, Syracuse defender Kaillie Goodnough gave up the puck in the defensive zone, creating a three-on-one. RIT defender Emilee Bulleid pocketed a shot top shelf past SU goalie Jenn Gilligan. Syracuse forward Julie Knerr skated to the bench and, with two hands, swung her stick into the boards. Flanagan, expressionless,
walked onto the ice. “To have a veteran defenseman with an unforgivable turnover in our zone to give them a three-on-one, it’s inexcusable,” Flanagan said. The Orange was in control of the game early, but after a momentum-changing penalty, RIT scored the first goal. For every subsequent Syracuse goal, the Tigers had an answer. As the mistakes and missed chances mounted for SU, the frustration built. Ultimately, the Orange (6-12-8, 4-4-4 College Hockey America) fell to the Tigers (9-14-3, 3-8-1), 4-3, on Friday night. “We’ve been in a lot of close games. So what?” Flanagan said. “We’ve won six games out of 26 and if we’re defined by our record then we really haven’t done much. We find ways to lose games rather than find ways to win games.” Halfway through the first period, Syracuse had controlled the possession and put eight shots on goal, but had nothing to show for it. A tripping penalty on Jessica Sibley put SU on its heels and RIT forward Marissa Maugeri sent one over Gilligan’s left shoulder shortly
after the penalty expired. Later in the period, after a goal by SU forward Heather Schwarz, Bulleid answered with a one-timer in the crease to make it 2-1, RIT. When Sibley scored a power-play goal on a wraparound five minutes into the second period, Maugeri beat SU defender Megan Quinn along the goal line three minutes later and put RIT up 3-2. “Obviously it probably wasn’t my best game of the year,” Gilligan said. “That third goal was definitely one I wanted to have back.” Every time Flanagan’s top two players in points, forwards Melissa Piacentini and Stephanie Grossi, came off the ice he was in their ears, demonstrating a move with an imaginary stick or pointing to areas on the ice with a dryerase board. But it wasn’t working. Syracuse couldn’t maintain an evenstrength offensive possession. The Orange had trouble getting the puck out of the defensive zone, too, as defenders would mishandle it or have their passes intercepted. “All over the ice we all got outworked in big parts of the game and that was the major game-

SU edges Princeton after facing early hole Despite falling behind early, No. 57 Syracuse (3-1) defeated No. 35 Princeton (0-2), 4-3, in Tuscaloosa, Alabama on Sunday in the loser’s bracket final of the Intercollegiate Tennis Association Kickoff Weekend. The final set of the match pitted Syracuse’s Valeria Salazar against Princeton’s Amanda Muliawan with the two teams tied at three. The set raged on as the match passed the four-and-a-half hour mark. In the first set, a 6-4 Salazar win put her up, but she dropped the next set 3-6. After gaining a 4-1 advantage in the last set, Salazar found herself clutching to a slim, 5-4 lead. She fell to 5-6, but clawed back to even the last set at six. Salazar won the next point and subsequently the set. 7-6. The beginning of the singles portion was unkind to the Orange, forcing them into a deep early hole. Freshman Nicole Mitchell fell in short order, 0-6, 2-6 to Katrine Steffensen,
putting the Orange in a 0-2 deficit in a race to four points. Safdar overcame a first-game tiebreak to beat Tang 7-5 and 6-3 to take the set and the Orange’s first point. Sophomore Rhiann Newborn tied the affair for SU when she triumphed over Alanna Wolff 6-1 and 7-6. SU’s Breanna Bachini put the Orange on the cusp of capturing the match with a 1-6, 6-4, 6-1 come-from-behind victory over Caroline Joyce, but Princeton’s Lindsay Graff staved off elimination for her team with a 7-5 and 6-4 defeat of Amanda Rodgers to extend the match. In the doubles matches, Mitchell and sophomore Olivia Messineo were dispatched quickly by the Tiger tandem of Wolff and Emily Hahn, 6-1. Rodgers and Newborn were downed 6-2 by Princeton pair Graff and Steffensen. Syracuse’s tandem of the sophomore Salazar and senior Komal Safdar were losing 3-4
to Muliawan and Dorothy Tang when the set was stopped. The Orange holds its home opener next Saturday at noon in the Drumlins Tennis Center as it looks to improve to 4-1 on the season. – Compiled by Sam Fortier, staff writer, sjfortie@syr.edu
turner,” Piacentini said. For the third period, Syracuse changed its first and second lines, swapping forward Alysha Burriss and Sibley, but the results didn’t change. Out of options, SU pulled Gilligan for an extra attacker with a minute to go in regulation. A power play gave the Orange a six-on-four advantage and Piacentini tipped in the equalizer, tying her for first in the nation with eight power-play goals. But as RIT had done all game, it answered Syracuse’s goal. As the players filed onto the ice, chants of “RIT” filled the air. After the game, Flanagan’s message to the team was simple. “I just don’t feel we’re a very cohesive group,” he said, “in understanding what it takes to win hockey games.” jrmettus@syr.edu

UNC forward shows natural athleticism after choosing basketball over soccer

Quentin Hillsman didn’t know what his team was doing, but he didn’t want to stop it. With Syracuse trailing by three at halftime, the SU defense shifted to a run-and-jump press. It was something the head coach hadn’t asked his team to do in his nine years of coaching the Orange. But with North Carolina State’s sloppy ball-handling and Syracuse need-

When he was 15, J.P. Tokoto had to choose whether to stick with soccer, the sport his grandfather played professionally, or continue to pursue basketball, the sport that seemed to cater to his height and blossoming athleticism. He chose basketball, which at first was difficult for his grandfather to accept. The elder Tokoto, also named J.P., was the youngest player in the history of the Cameroonian national soccer team at age 15. He always believed his grandson would play soccer at a high level, too. “That was big for my dad to

f a shot goes up in a gym where Syracuse is playing and it doesn’t go in, more often that not, the ball ends up in SU’s hands. It helps the Orange (14-6, 5-2 Atlantic Coast) stay in games when its shots aren’t falling. It’s helped the team recover from slow starts and poor free-throw shooting.

sternest test on the boards this year. UNC is first in the ACC and second in the country in total rebounds per game, hauling down an average of 43.5 per contest. “I don’t think it’ll be a problem,” SU point guard Kaleb Joseph said. “If we go in there and stick to the game plan and execute, I think we’ll be fine.” SU is tied for fifth in the conference and 35th in the country in rebounds per game entering Sunday. In Wake Forest and Georgia Tech, Syracuse has already beaten two of the top five rebounding teams in the conference

ing a change of pace, Hillsman let the press go and it worked to the tune of a 23-0 SU run. “I said, ‘I don’t know what you’re doing, but keep doing that, and I’ll be good,’” Hillsman said. “I had no idea what they were doing on the front of their press. I can’t take credit for that 23-0 run. That’s all them.” Syracuse doubled up the Wolfpack in the second half and turned a halftime deficit into an inevitable blowout win in a matter of nine minutes. The No. 23 Orange (15-5, 5-2 Atlantic Coast) held on for its fifth straight win, defeating N.C. State (12-8, 3-4) 66-49 on Sunday in the Carrier Dome in front of 1,300. Alexis Peterson — who finished with 27 points, five rebounds and four assists — keyed the run with seven points and three assists. But it was the defense that forced four turnovers during the stretch that put the stamp on another game-defining run. “I think we just picked up our energy, our intensity,” Peterson said. “We started getting stops see n.c.
