Students divided over SU Greek life By Casey Darnell asst. news editor

Syracuse University students are divided over whether fraternities and sororities have a positive impact on campus life, according to the results from SU’s Greek life survey that were released Friday afternoon. About 48 percent of students who aren’t involved in Greek life said that fraternities and sororities don’t have a positive impact on SU, per the survey. The majority of students in Greek life said their experiences have helped them feel connected to SU and that their involvement has helped them make connections with other students. More than half of non-Greek respondents said they did not agree that fraternities and sororities promote the health and well-being of their members, and nearly 42 percent of non-Greek respondents said they don’t feel comfortable interacting with Greek life organizations and their members. The survey was first sent to undergraduate students during the summer as part of SU’s Greek life review, which was announced in the wake of the Theta Tau controversy last spring. Undergraduate students who were enrolled for the fall 2018 semester and had spent one fall or spring semester on campus were asked to participate in the survey.

Respondents were given different questions depending on if they identified themselves as a member of a Greek life organization. About 48 percent of survey respondents said they were members of Greek life. More than 97 percent of students in Greek life said they agree that their organizations helped them interact with other students. About 40 percent of non-Greek respondents said they did not feel students in fraternities or sororities socialized with people outside Greek organizations. More than half of nonmembers said they disagree that “fraternities and sororities encourage their members to be themselves.” About 92 percent of Greek life members agreed with the same statement. About 86 percent of those in Greek life said they strongly agree that they see survey page 4

One year after #MeToo, women engineering students say they still feel left out in the classroom Story by Haley Robertson asst. feature editor

s the only two women aerospace engineering majors in their class, seniors Bridget McDonough and Kayla Simon said they have been outnumbered by men in every engineering classroom since their freshman year at Syracuse University. Aside from adjusting to demanding classwork, McDonough said the greatest challenge was overcoming the fear of not being “as good as all the guys.” She even remembers feeling too intimidated to raise her hand in class. Even in her senior year, the classroom dynamic hasn’t changed. “It’s really intimidating sometimes to say something in class because it’s like you don’t want to be seen as dumb,” she said. This Friday marks the one-year anniversary of the #MeToo movement sweeping across the United States, and today, women students in the College of Engineering and Computer Science grapple with the effects of working in a men-dominated industry. In spring 2018, about 25 percent of undergraduate students in the College of Engineering and Computer Science identified as women, said Maria Marceau, director of records and study abroad at the college. The school’s faculty also includes fewer than 35 women, out of the 95 full-time faculty members. Mechanical engineering senior Ivy Christensen said she’s only had one woman engineering professor. She has noticed students treating Michelle Blum, her only woman professor, differently than that of her men counterparts. She said in one class, students began

booing and yelling from the back of the classroom when Blum announced an assignment. “I don’t think I’ve ever experienced anything like this where people were blatantly disrespectful to a professor,” Christensen said. “We have another professor who’s very strict and he’s a male, and that would have

never happened in his classroom.” After telling a classmate that she felt confident she had aced a test, Christensen said that classmate, a man, replied by saying that wasn’t possible — his male friends said they thought they had failed.

ABC News anchor speaks at 1st Be Well Expo By Colleen Ferguson asst. news editor

Longtime ABC News anchor Dan Harris gave the keynote speech at Syracuse University’s Be Well Expo in the Carrier Dome on Sunday, sharing the benefits of mindfulness and HARRIS meditation with

a crowd of thousands of students, nearly 15 years after he experienced a panic attack on air. The first-ever expo was part of a series of events scheduled for SU’s Mental Health Awareness Week. Harris told audience members about how the panic attack impacted his nearly 20-year career at ABC, both professionally and personally. Within the first few minutes of his talk, his 2004 newscast was played in front of the entire Dome crowd.

Attendees watched the panic attack — one Harris said he’s watched and rewatched numerous times. “I’ve seen that clip a thousand times, and it sucks every time,” Harris said once the clip ended. He said he was so entrenched in a workaholic mindset that he never saw an issue with his increased anxiety and stress at that point in his life and for several years after. “I firmly believed that every success I was achieving was directly

correlated to the intensity of my anxiety,” he said. Harris had previously volunteered to go overseas and cover the aftermath of the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Coming back home after the adrenaline rush of war reporting, he said, is part of what caused him to fall into a depression. He began to self-medicate with drugs like ecstasy and cocaine, he said. Eventually, Harris began see harris page 4

Events to raise awareness of mental health By Natalie Rubio-Licht contributing writer

Syracuse University’s Student Association will host events including therapy dog sessions, a concert and late-night yoga as part of its third annual Mental Health Awareness week, which begins Sunday. Mental Health Awareness Week is designed to bring awareness to different aspects of mental health and spread knowledge of the resources available to SU students. The week’s events began with the “Be Well” Expo on Sunday in

the Carrier Dome, which was required for all first-year students. SA is hoping at least a few hundred students will attend every event this week, SA members said. “Everyone is stressed, and there’s a million different things to be worrying about. But I think the big thing that we’re trying to focus on is that no one’s alone in that,” said Mackenzie Mertikas, co-chair of the Health and Wellness Committee and SA chief of staff. Mental Health Awareness Week began in 2016, when SA studied national statistics and

peer universities to conduct research for a mental health report. The report found that SU has fewer counselors per student than other peer institutions. The findings also showed that many of the students surveyed dealt with issues such as anxiety, depression and academic struggles. SA decided to turn the week into an annual event and to make the Health and Wellness Committee a permanent group within SA. “Honestly, it’s necessary,” said Lauren Crimmins, co-chair of the Health and Wellness Commit-

tee. “It’s necessary for people to stop and think about what they’re going through, what they need and what they feel, and (to) learn about resources on campus.” Ghufran Salih and Kyle Rosenblum, SA president and vice president, are also working on a proposal to establish a peer-to-peer listening service, which they said they plan to present to SU administrators after Mental Health Awareness Week concludes. They said they hope to begin the service between fall 2019 and spring 2020. nrrubiol@syr.edu

News briefs: 3 stories you may have missed By Mary Catalfamo asst. digital editor

More than 50 people protest Kavanaugh, sexual assault on Syracuse University Quad

The protesters called on senators to reject Brett Kavanaugh’s Supreme Court nomination after three women came forward to accuse Kavanaugh of sexaul misconduct, including sexual assault, against women. On Thursday, senators heard testimony from Christine Blasey Ford, a professor in California, who claims Kavanaugh sexually assaulted her at a high school house party in 1982. Kavanaugh has

denied the allegations. Some people at the SU protest Thursday said they previously did not speak about their sexual assault experiences because they did not think people would believe them.

Funk ‘n Waffles removes Pete Davidson’s name from comedy show after he called Syracuse “trash”

The dow ntow n location was scheduled to host a comedy show called “Pete Davidson Presents Joey Gay & Dave Sirus — FnW SYR,” but canceled it after Davidson called Syracuse “trash,” per Syracuse.com. Davidson was not scheduled to

actually appear at the event. Comedians Joey Gay and Dave Sirus, who were with Davidson in Syracuse while he shot the movie “Big Time Adolescence,” cancelled the event after criticism of Davidson’s comments mounted, Syracuse. com reported. Comedians Travis Blunt, Rachel Blithe, JD Munro, Corey Smithson and Abdulkadir Hadi are listed as performers in the Facebook description for the new event.

survey had a safe joining process, and about 55 percent said they strongly agree that their organizations have programming designed to help members better understand issues like sexual assault, substance abuse and mental wellness, among other things. SU released the results of the survey in an SU News release late Friday afternoon. A total of 3,820 students responded out of the 9,163 who were able to participate. Incoming undergraduates and graduate students were not included in the survey. Michele Wheatly, vice chancellor and provost, and Dolan Evanovich, senior vice president for enrollment and the student experience, said in a campus-wide email sent shortly after the results were released that the Greek from page 1

harris seeking help from a psychiatrist, but he wouldn’t call his story “neat and tidy” from that point on, he said. He started covering faith and spirituality under direction from his mentor, Peter Jennings. Harris said religion was not a large part of his upbringing, so he didn’t immediately warm up to the idea of covering faith and spirituality. But doing so taught him the value of having a worldview that transcended his own narrow interests, he said. He eventually interviewed spiritual teacher Eckhart Tolle. Harris read Tolle’s book “A New Earth: Awakening to Your Life’s Purpose,” in which Tolle gives his thesis about the human condition, and said that Tolle’s words helped explain his own insufficient self-awareness and his blind self-medication. While the book helped him understand himself on a deeper level, it didn’t solve all of his problems, he said. He still needed a way to deal with what Tolle referred to in his book as the “voice” in Harris’ head. Harris eventually discovered meditation,

Life Review Committee will use the survey results in their evaluation of Greek life policies, programs and culture. The external Greek life consultants SU hired during the summer are expected to finish a final report in early November, per the release. It is unclear whether the report will be publicly released. Sarah Scalese, SU’s senior associate vice president for university communications, did not immediately respond to a request for comment on this story Friday afternoon. Since the beginning of the 2017-18 academic year, SU has suspended or expelled four fraternities and one sorority because of conduct violations, according to SU’s Office of Fraternity and Sorority Affairs. Six other fraternities are under investigation or sanctions for conduct violations, according to FASA. cdarnell@syr.edu | @_caseydarnell

a practice that dominates the narrative of his 2014 self-help book. What started as an exercise that he attempted with skepticism a few minutes a day is now a practice that Harris said has helped him learn to respond wisely to things in life rather than reacting blindly. While it isn’t a cure-all, he encouraged students to meditate. “I think in the not too distant figure, we will be thinking about mental exercise the way we do about physical exercise,” he said. He encouraged SU community members to utilize the resources available to them on campus and to seek out therapy and medication if necessary. Happiness doesn’t have to depend on people’s situations or environments, he added. He said people can train themselves to find happiness. “I think many of us think that happiness is something that kind of, you know happens to us, that it’s dependent upon external forces,” he said. “The truly radical and empowering notion here is that actually, what science is showing us, is that happiness is a skill.” Harris’ talk lasted about half an hour and included a Q&A with Student Association leaders Ghufran Salih and Kyle Rosenblum. cefergus@syr.edu | @ColleenEFergus2

Greek review results should be released To accept Kavanaugh is to accept rape culture S yracuse University publicly released the results of its Greek life survey via email to students on Friday. That’s commendable, and this decision should be the start of a more encompassing trend of transparency related to fraternities and sororities on campus. Sharing the results of the survey doesn’t excuse SU from withholding other information in the future. SU’s willingness to share the survey should now warrant the disclosure of the results of the Greek life review, first announced by the university after this spring’s Theta Tau videos controversy. It is being completed by a team of external consultants — and there’s no reason

those results should not be released publicly. For matters that concern general campus safety and the well-being of students, it’s imperative that students receive direct information from SU. The Greek life review, a more extensive and practical avenue for officials to create tangible, meaningful change at SU, has the opportunity to better the campus community. Those results will be more important than the survey’s results Releasing the survey was a step in the right direction. SU is putting more information in the hands of its students, but progress can’t stop here. Details, like what the external

reviewers who visited campus were doing and how they were doing it, are important. Withholding information collected by the consultants will only create confusion and perpetuate mistrust on campus.

The Daily Orange Editorial Board serves as the voice of the organization and aims to contribute the perspectives of students to discussions that concern Syracuse University and the greater Syracuse community.

Further study needed for treatment

C

annabis could be viewed as a great pain treatment in the scientific community, but more information on its addictive properties should be investigated before it becomes a widespread form of medical care. A recent review conducted by Syracuse University’s College of Arts and Sciences of experimental pain and cannabis found conflicting answers on whether or not the drug actually reduces pain. Medications certainly have a place in treatments for pain, but until we know more about cannabis, it’s better to be careful and frugal when prescribing it. Doctoral candidate Martin De Vita, at SU, recently explained why the group at Arts and Sciences chose this research subject. “Some studies are saying that it increases pain, others are saying that it has no pain effects, and then other studies are saying that it reduces pain,” said De Vita. “Whenever you have a dilemma like that, as scientists, you become very curious.” Moving forward, from the SU team’s findings, it’s critical that more information related to cannabis and other potential pain treatments be gathered. The opioid crisis stemmed from pharmaceutical companies pushing

POLITICS ARE NOT B&W opioid pain relievers on physicians and the public. There was a lack of understanding of those drugs’ full effects and the country is still reeling from the epidemic. Marijuana is not physically addictive like opioids, but it’s psychologically addictive. This form of addiction causes a dependence, in which the drug — in this case cannabis — becomes central to a given person’s thoughts and actions. Marijuana use disorder is characterized by withdrawal, intense cravings for cannabis, and a decrease in normal functioning, according to the National Institute of Drug Abuse. The opioid crisis should serve as a warning. One drug should not and cannot serve as an alternative to another without a full and complete base of knowledge. There has been a lack of research on many specific components of cannabis, including cannabidiol, which has been legalized to some degree in all 50 states.

ful treatment option. And current studies on cannabis are conflicting. Until researchers come to an agreement, physicians shouldn’t immediately opt to prescribe cannabis as a medication. Patients have other options. Psychotherapy or even integrated approaches that combine non-drug based treatments with lesser doses of medications are options to keep in mind, at least until more is known about cannabis. “Everybody’s very focused on opioids and cannabis right now, but we certainly have more tools in our bag and we are going to continue to study and learn more about cannabinoids and opioids, both their interactions and their therapeutic potential,” De Vita said. There’s much more to learn about regarding extremely complicated drugs and medical conditions. It’s vital that physicians and patients keep open minds as research is completed and reviews are conducted on cannabis.

hree women alleging separate sexual assaults, and one man: Brett Kavanaugh, President Donald Trump’s Supreme Court nominee. If Kavanaugh is eventually found guilty of assaulting Christine Blasey Ford, Deborah Ramirez, or LIANZA Julie Swetnick, REYES but is still GIV ING YOU sworn into “ THE TA LK” the Supreme Court, there’s an underlying issue of casual sexism and rape normalization in the United States that’s made more evident than it already is. Kavanaugh blatantly calls these accusations “smears,” despite a reasonable amount of evidence, including classmate testimonials, polygraph tests and therapist notes. Ramirez’s allegation against Kavanaugh, which dates back to their time at Yale University is reflective of a college culture that does not empower women to report assaults. More than 90 percent of victims of sexual assault on college campuses do not report such incidents. Women last week shared some of these experiences via the hashtag #WhyIDidntReport on Twitter, echoing stories similar to Ford and Ramire’s. Shana Maier, an associate professor and director of the master’s criminal justice program at Widener University, said the

build-up of this toxic culture is the product of different environments and attitudes. “I think, unfortunately, rape is still normalized and overlooked, and there is still so much victim blaming. It doesn’t help the situation that the president has had a history of allegations and there is a recording of harsh statements against women, and that he still supports Kavanaugh,” she said. It doesn’t matter that Ford and Ramirez only came forward about their alleged assaults decades after. What matters is that the two women are telling their stories in an effort to shed light on a man who could reshape the interpretation of laws in the U.S. for decades to come. Maier said if anything positive has come out of these allegations, it’s that more victims of assault are coming forward and sharing their own stories of survival. According to the Rape, Abuse and Incest National Network, the organization’s hotline received a 42 percent increase in calls between Sept. 21 and 22. This mirrors a similar spike in calls made in 2016 after Trump made comments about sexual assault. “I think it’s incredibly important. The downside is that it’s triggering people, but the good side is that people are getting sick of being quiet about it, and are reaching out for services. That’s a good thing that they’re reaching out,” she said.

Original Grain is serving up live DJ performances with its weekend brunch

By Meredith Clark

contributing writer

T

he perfect brunch combo, according to Original Grain, includes avocado toast with a side of music from The Notorious B.I.G. Or with a performance from a different hip-hop artist. Every Saturday and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., Original Grain hosts Hip Hop Brunch. Chris Bily, owner of Original Grain, said the event is upbeat and high-energy, featuring live DJ performances and new menu items. The event has been around since the establishment of Original Grain in August 2016. Bily said he believes that Hip Hop Brunch perfectly embodies the brand of his restaurant, while also elevating the customer experience. “I think music is an important part of our culture as a whole,” Bily said. “To be able to come in and audibly hear something and feel

a groove and a vibe and get energy from it, I think that that plays into our decor and our menu … I mean, it’s just part of our brand.” When looking for DJs to perform at Hip Hop Brunch, there isn’t necessarily a specific box that Bily is looking to check off. “We’re looking for as many artists as we have that are interested,” he said. “We really don’t segregate them into specific type of person we’re looking for. We’re searching for somebody that we’ve seen or people that are reaching out and saying, ‘Hey, listen, I’ve heard about Hip Hop Brunch. How can I DJ?’” DJ Kobe, a club DJ and radio host for

HOT 107.9, is a staple performer at Original Grain’s Hip Hop Brunch. He said he has friends in “bigger cities” doing similar things, and he’s happy Original Grain brought it to Syracuse. When it comes to his set, DJ Kobe said his goal is to have customers sing along with the songs he plays. “People walk in and start bobbing their head when they hear the music,” DJ Kobe said. “It’s a great feeling.” While Hip Hop Brunch strives for an original take on the classic weekend brunch tradition, its main purpose is to create an energy that will leave the customers wanting more. Bily, who also owns the newly-opened restaurant XO Taco near downtown Syracuse, is looking to implement events similar to Hip Hop Brunch at his other businesses. “I don’t know about hip-hop specifically,” he said. “It’s more of a different sort of music see hip

LaFayette Apple Festival to celebrate 46th anniversary By Amanda Kraynak contributing writer

Apples play a significant role in the LaFayette area, especially in early October, when the annual LaFayette Apple Festival takes place. Since the early 1970s, LaFayette, which is just south of Syracuse, has celebrated its apple

industry with an event that offers numerous apple-based foods and activities, as well as homemade products from local artisans. This year marks the 46th annual festival. The event features both apple-related and non-apple related foods, carnival rides, live music, games and apple pie and scarecrow contests.

Nearly 400 vendors — including artisans and crafters, along with local nonprofit organizations — will offer products. Dave Knapp, director of the LaFayette Apple Festival, has been involved with the festival from its start. Knapp’s parents were on the original committee that created the festival. Even as a kid, Knapp

helped organize the apple festival. “Obviously it’s everything about apples, that’s No. 1, but we try to make it a family-type event,” Knapp said. LaFayette is known for its apple production, and there are several apple orchards in the area. The event offers a variety of apple products such as apple cider, caramel apples, apple fritters and apple pies.

“We don’t allow people to sell food on the grounds unless they are one of the local organizations,” said Esther LaClair, one of three people who founded the festival. “It brings money into our town, the nonprofits, the churches (and) the schools.” Some of these local, nonprofit see apples page 8

It’s a huge event and huge for the town … it’s something I think everyone in LaFayette is proud of,” Liddy said. Knapp said the rides at the festival are a main attraction for children, while many adults enjoy visiting the home improvement vendors. The activities at the festival vary slightly from year to year — Knapp noted an aspect unique to this year’s festival, saying that therapy horses will be making an appearance. The festival will take place on Oct. 6 and 7. Admission to the festival is $5 for adults and free for children under 12. ackrayna@syr.edu

Funk, R&B group Turkuaz to perform at Westcott Theater By Patrick Henkels contributing writer

Funk and R&B group Turkuaz will kick off the fall leg of their 2018 tour with a show at the Westcott Theater. The tour will promote the band’s latest studio LP, “Life In The City,” which was released last week. Dave Brandwein, Turkuaz’s frontman and guitarist, said he is excited to come back to Syracuse, one of his favorite places to play. “We’ve been playing in Syracuse for a long time.” Brandwein said. “It should shape up to be a great show.” “Life In The City” is Turkuaz’s seventh studio album, featuring a mix of alternative rock with classic funk and R&B. From the heavy-hitting title track to danceable numbers such as “Superstatic” and “If I Ever Fall Asleep,” “Life In The City” is a nonstop funk train with memorable melodies and soaring harmonies, courtesy of the band’s female vocalists Sammi Garett and Shira Elias. Drummer Michelangelo Carubba’s stone cold percussion drives the band, while bassist Taylor Shell lays down fat grooves throughout the album’s 43-minute runtime. Their skills really shine through on “Lady Lovely,” as the tune’s gargling bass line and snappy drumbeat serve as a solid foundation. “Life In The City” is an album that suggests just how far Turkuaz has come over the course of a decade. The history of the band can be traced back to Brandwein and Shell, who were classmates and from page 1

engineering Beyond feeling pressure to never make a public mistake in class, Christensen said she feels an added pressure to look a certain way. While she loves wearing lipstick and dressing up, the SU senior doesn’t always feel comfortable in feminine clothing in class. “If I do look very feminine when I come in, I notice that people kind of just look at you more, and it’s kind of uncomfortable,” she said. But Andrew Lee, director of the electrical engineering and computer science department, said he feels differently. In his personal experience, the classroom atmosphere isn’t only influenced by gender, but also differences in cultural backgrounds. “I am not an expert. I do not know how to single out … one dynamic based on boy and girls,” Lee said.

friends studying at Berklee College of Music. The two aspiring musicians found that they had similar tastes and began collaborating and producing demos. The music they created received such a positive response that they were chosen to perform at one of the school’s showcases. But there was one glaring issue standing in the two artists’ way. “We could not reproduce what we had recorded with two people in a live setting,” Brandwein said. “We had to get a band together.” Fortunately for Brandwein and Shell, they were able to find the right musicians to play their songs in time for the showcase. They were also able to find their perfect name from a very convenient source. “When Taylor and I would work on the music, we would take breaks and get food from this Turkish market right across from where we were living,” Brandwein said. Its name was “Turkuaz,” and the pair used it for their showcase performance. Bandwein said the “name stuck with us ever since.” After graduating, the band moved to Brooklyn and played clubs. They built a following for their modern take on funk and eventually had a touring lineup in 2012. When asked to describe his influences, Brandwein mentioned taking inspiration from the British bands that dominated the American music industry during the 1960s and ‘70s. Notable artists such as Led Zeppelin’s Jimmy Page, Pink Floyd’s David Gilmour, The Who’s Pete Townshend and Jeff Beck all served as role models for Brandwein as a guitarist.

Lee said the engineering classroom dynamic depends on the size of the class. He’s noticed that in both large lectures and smaller classes, women students tend to sit together “like they have some kind of sisterhood.” In course evaluations written by students, Lee has noticed that when students say they felt uncomfortable, they “seldom relate it to gender,” but rather attribute a lack of resources or individual attention from faculty. Lee said he believes the starting point for resolving issues is to have more conversations instead of “keeping it a secret,” so the faculty can work with the students. “It’s my top priority that every member of our community feels supported and positioned for success,” said Teresa Dahlberg, dean of the College of Engineering and Computer Science, in an email. She said a lot has changed for women in engineering since her experiences

in the 1980s, saying now “there is a support system that better allows women to thrive.” Following Theta Tau’s expulsion from campus in April, Simon reached out to a professor in the aerospace department to discuss her concerns. But she said he didn’t take her or other women classmates seriously when confronted with their grievances. “He didn’t believe us until we said men had validated us,” Simon said. She instead found comfort in talking with Melissa Green, a professor who Simon said was very open to discuss concerns regarding the incident. Like Simon, McDonough said she feels more comfortable talking to women professors — but she didn’t have a woman professor in her major until the spring semester of her junior year. “I still kind of believe it’s easier for one of my male classmates to bond more with male professors,” she said. McDonough and a recent woman gradu-

ate of the aerospace engineering major recently produced a video celebrating women in STEM in honor of International Women’s Day. The video was inspired by conversation about the challenges women in STEM face — such as how some women students feel they need to be forceful or aggressive in group project settings in order to be taken seriously. Christensen, Mcdonough and Simon, who are roommates, have dreams of working in the aerospace industry together after graduation. Their goal, which Simon said “seems more and more attainable as time goes on,” is to work on rockets together and have a role in shaping the space industry. “I would hope that I’d be given a job because of my skills and not just because they want to add diversity to the company,” McDonough said. hrober03@syr.edu

graham sustaining drives and scoring touchdowns is critical. The rationale is simple: The more you have the ball, the more likely you are to score. SU went for it on fourth down, converting once. The failure came with about nine minutes left, as Syracuse led Clemson, 23-20. Lined up at the Clemson 43-yard line, SU ran a run-pass option. SU quarterback Eric Dungey pulled the ball from Moe Neal, saw no running lane, and lofted a ball to tight end Aaron Hackett, who had a free release. It worked beautifully, except for the flag on the field. A signature feature of an RPO is a run blocking screen, despite the possibility of a pass. Left tackle Cody Conway was six yards downfield when the ball was caught. The ineligible receiver downfield penalty cost Syracuse five yards and a potentially game changing first down. But Conway’s assignment as a tackle in a run blocking scheme is to get to the second level — he has no way of knowing if a run or pass is coming behind him. Dungey saw the play developing, but held the ball too long, apparently deciding between running and from page 12

Delhommelle said the whole coaching staff teams up to make fun of his accent. Goldhar is McIntyre’s target of choice this year, Delhommelle said. Delhommelle said the team expects a joke or weird line from McIntyre in the locker room prior to a game. Prior to Syracuse’s Sept. 8, 2017 matchup with Virginia in Charlottesville, Va., the Orange were in the midst of a weather delay and McIntyre barged into the locker room and commanded that someone tell a joke to lighten

throwing. Babers took the blame after the game. Clemson was in a Cover 0 defense, Babers said, meaning SU had one-on-one matchups across the board. Babers said he should’ve audibled. When Syracuse found itself on the Clemson side of the 50, the end zone remained elusive. Of the seven drives that reached Clemson territory, two resulted in touchdowns, including a 10-yard drive, courtesy of a muffed punt. Three ended in field goals, two in punts. “We needed to score one more touchdown,” Babers said. “There’s no doubt about that.” The Orange did capitalize on the punt, as it needed too, but SU’s two other turnovers — a Trill Williams pick and Alton Robinson fumble recovery — set Syracuse up twice in Clemson territory. SU turned those two takeaways into a combined three points. Teams like Clemson don’t give away gifts that often, and Syracuse didn’t make the Tigers pay. “It’s going to come down to one or two plays,” Babers said. “One field goal that turns into a touchdown. One touchdown that turns into a field goal.” Clemson started its decisive 94-yard march with 6:06 left in the game. It rolled down the field behind running back Travis Etienne until facing a defining fourth and one.

Syracuse had three timeouts. A false start backed the Tigers up five yards. But backup quarterback Chase Brice connected with Tee Higgins for a first down. Higgins stepped out of bounds. Clemson, with 2:41 left on the SU 32 yard-line, eyed the end zone. With the game in the balance, Syracuse needed one stop and couldn’t get it. Five-straight handoffs later, :41 remained and Clemson led, 27-23. Clemson’s running backs, particularly Etienne, ran free because of lapses from Syracuse’s linebackers. When Etienne slipped past Syracuse’s linebackers for the game winning touchdown later in the fourth quarter, all three were swallowed up in the heart of the offensive line. Guthrie and Kielan Whitner, on the play side, failed to set the edge. It didn’t have to go that way. Babers understandably wanted to sit on his timeouts, sensing there may be a need for a last-chance drive. But after Clemson converted on fourth down, and the defense didn’t seem to have anything left, the clock still ran and Etienne walked into the endzone. A timeout could’ve disrupted Clemson’s offensive rhythm while giving the defense a breather to unscramble. It would’ve given the offense more time.

On SU’s ensuing drive, after a negated play and a bone crushing sack to Dungey, Babers used timeout No. 1. There was :20 left. SU sank to 4th and 17. The clock stopped due to a thirddown incompletion. There was :12 left. The entire game rested on that play. Even during the final drive, the absolute last ditch effort to pull off a miracle, when it was time to give everything, Babers sat on two timeouts. “I had to see what was going on,” Babers said of his late timeout usage. “Whether they were trying to score a field goal, whether they were trying to score a touchdown. If I use those timeouts and then they go all the way down to the end and they score with one second left — I use two timeouts — you’d be asking me the other questions.” By no means should Syracuse hang its head after Saturday’s performance. There is no shame whatsoever in the outcome, one that previous teams couldn’t have pulled off. In losing by four points to the No. 3 team in the country on the road, Syracuse proved the margin between the Orange and the elite has narrowed. The difference between a win and a loss was razor thin, but perhaps the biggest gap of all.

the mood. Delhommelle volunteered and said what he admitted was a bad joke: “What do you call an American beat? A news beat.” Delhommelle remembered the locker room laughed. But McIntyre didn’t get it. The senior, who transferred from Lander College, said his relationship with McIntyre has gotten to the point where the two can exchange jabs back and forth. But not all share that luxury. Freshmen, like Goldhar, are easier targets. But McIntyre spreads his jokes around. In one practice, Djimon Johnson laughed as Goldhar was picked on. Delhommelle said McIntyre reminded Johnson of where he stood. “You were my target last year,” Delhommelle remembered McIntyre said to Johnson. “You don’t have anything to say.” The freshmen don’t understand his humor,

either. But that’s the funniest part. Some players try to refrain their laughter to make McIntyre uncomfortable. Others — mostly freshmen — think they have to at least smile because “he’s the coach.” “Mac’s horrible at jokes,” Jukka Masalin said. “No one’s laughing at that.” McIntyre’s not a comedian, but he tries. And that’s funny, players said. “Ian McIntyre? Is he funny?” Hilpert asked. “I think he tries very hard. I’m not saying that he’s not funny. But (all) I’m telling you is that he tries very hard. “I hope that statement is enough.” Of the 11 players and coaches interviewed by The Daily Orange, four said he was funny, four said he’s sometimes funny, two acknowledged that he tries and one (Goldhar) said he isn’t funny

at all — that differentiated from his stance earlier in the season, when he struggled to distinguish McIntyre’s humor from his seriousness. “Maybe he doesn’t actually feel bad for me that I am (getting knocked over),” Goldhar said. “I hope he does.” For McIntyre, it’s important that he doesn’t take himself seriously every once in a while. As Masalin put it, the Orange “spend a sh*t load of time together.” McIntyre isn’t overly impressed with his own level of humor. He knows players try not to laugh, and he hardly ever gets any laughs when he jokes around, McIntyre said. So, is he funny? “On a 0-10 (scale)?” McIntyre asked. “Probably a four.”

“This is just a better group than we had when we came down here the last time when it comes to a mental standpoint and a physical standpoint,” Coleman said. “Probably a major part of that is the fact that we’ve playing together for so long, and we have that trust built in to each other now.” Williams’ interception along with six solo tackles — more than one of which came along the line of scrimmage — from safety Andre Cisco, showed growth for the young secondary. On offense, Taj Harris caught three balls for 66 yards, including a 51-yard bomb where the freshman receiver bobbled the ball and nearly dropped it before reeling it in. “Yeah, I feel like our freshman class is very ready to play,” Harris said. “You can see it since camp, all through summer we grinded and grinded and grinded, and we’re just waiting for our numbers to get called really.” Syracuse entered the game averaging 1.75 sacks allowed per game. Against a Tiger group which features four potential first round draft picks and averages four sacks per game, the Orange allowed one. And that sack didn’t come until Syracuse’s final drive with under a minute remaining. While none of the Tigers’ four preseason All-ACC defensive linemen registered a sack —leading to 250 yards passing on 26-41 throwing for Dungey — all but one of the linemen was in on a tackle for a loss as the Orange rushed for 68 yards. Clemson rushed for 293. And that’s what seemed to stick with SU’s players after the game. Redshirt senior offensive tackle Koda Martin acknowledged the offensive line had good moments. But the times they couldn’t stay on blocks bothered him more. Like his step-father, Martin preached focusing on Syracuse’s next game and having a “1-0 mentality.” And that’s fair. Syracuse as a team, doesn’t have to celebrate a loss. It shouldn’t. In a narrow lens, this game is just another demerit to the season’s record. But take a step back. For the first time since 1991, SU’s first loss of the year came more than a third into the season. Babers admitted after the game his team is “moving in the right direction.” And even though Syracuse lost, season-long trends continued. That’s promising.

schafer Early in the fourth quarter, Dungey swung his arms at the screaming Syracuse fans in one corner of Memorial Stadium. The rest of the more than 80,000 onlookers stood silent, pondering how Syracuse, a team which had won four games each of the last two seasons, could be leading by 10 in the game’s final frame. Moments earlier Dungey capped off a four-play, 10-yard drive with a rushing touchdown in which he leapt for the goaline, came down unsuccessfully and then burst through on a second effort for one of his two rushing touchdowns. The last time Syracuse played Clemson in Death Valley in 2016, the Orange lost 54-0 and Dungey didn’t finish the first half. “At the end of the day we should have some confidence moving forward,” Dungey said. “Especially if we can come down here to Death Valley, one of the toughest places to play in the nation, against one of the toughest teams, and you know we were right there with them today.” Against Clemson in 2016, the Orange didn’t cause a turnover. On Saturday, the Orange, which has turned the ball over on opponents at an unprecedented pace, forced three. One came just before Dungey’s second touchdown, a muffed punt from Amari Rodgers. Another came from a Trill Williams interception and the third happened early in the game off a bobbled read option, which led to an SU field goal. Syracuse had more sacks against Clemson (4) than it averaged per game (3.25) through the first four games. First it was Chris Slayton, who used a simple power push at his opposition’s shoulder to create the separation needed to drop Clemson quarterback Trevor Lawrence. Later the pressure led Lawrence to scramble out of the pocket, where he was tripped by defensive linemen Josh Black and finished off by safety Evan Foster. Lawrence wouldn’t return from that hit. Instead, Chase Brice came in and on his second pass felt the same pressure Lawrence had. On Brice’s second drop back, Kendall Coleman faked inside before beating the left tackle outside and getting to the redshirt freshman quarterback. The last time Syracuse played at Death Valley, it didn’t record a sack.

Feel like your team deserved to win that game? Did your team earn some respect today?

LEMSON, S.C.— After Syracuse’s 27-23 loss at Clemson, head coach Dino Babers didn’t say his team earned respect. He didn’t say that losing by four points to a team oddsmakers had favored by 25 proved anything. They don’t want superficial accolades. They want to win. “If we want to be winners, we can’t stay on this track,” Babers said. “2016, 2017, we want 2018 to be different, then we need to act differently.” Babers may be right. In the grand scheme of Syracuse’s record, Saturday goes down as a loss. Syracuse is 4-1. JOSH There is no asterisk next to the loss for SCHAFER a valiant effort. But that doesn’t mean STAY the Orange didn’t prove something. HUNGRY In 2018, Syracuse has bucked the trend of its first two years under Babers. The Orange started 4-0 for the first time since 1991. They beat Florida State for the second time in program history. The defense has forced more turnovers than it had in all of 2017. Syracuse received AP votes. And on Saturday in Death Valley, where Syracuse was less than a quarter away from defeating a top-three team on the road for the first time ever, SU once again didn’t appear like past teams. “Just looking around the locker room,” said four-year starting quarterback Eric Dungey, “It’s different.” see schafer page 10

one practice, McIntyre took advantage of the fear: He said he didn’t feel bad when Goldhar got knocked down. “He’ll take a little jab at you and you’re like “‘Wait what, did he just say that?’” Goldhar said. “Usually he’s joking ...” He paused and his eyes widened. “I think, at least,” Goldhar continued. McIntyre uses humor in many of his interactions with Syracuse (3-4-1, 0-3-0 Atlantic Coast) to lighten the

mood of the team. He said his most effective and frequent style of humor is sarcasm. (That’s not a compliment, he said. McIntyre said his grandmother used to say sarcasm is “the lowest form of wit.”) Hit or miss, McIntyre makes humor a part of his everyday routine. At least, he wants to. When asked about the team’s process of maturing, he said he has “a lot less hair.” When referring to the differences Delhommelle brings to the role formerly employed by Syracuse player and Major League Soccer draft

pick Mo Adams he said, “He brings a beard for that role, a lot more facial hair.” McIntyre added that they are just as difficult to understand (Adams had a thick British accent) and Delhommelle’s “thick French accent at times is alarming.” When asked about the birth of his go-to formation (the 3-5-2), McIntyre cited his experience: “I played in black and white (color of TV broadcasts) days . We didn’t have shoes. Barefoot soccer.” He has claimed Formula One racer Lewis Hamilton was the

“spitting image” of himself and commented on the size of reporters’ notebooks. The question still remains, though — McIntyre tells a lot of jokes, but is he funny? Sometimes it’s difficult to tell the difference when McIntyre makes rapid switches from seriousness to joking, Jan Breitenmoser said. Players were quick to applaud his ability to put on a serious face before games, but only after they cracked a grin when asked about see mcintyre page 10
