Ostrom Avenue organizations prepare to relocate

Greek life reviewers to submit report By Catherine Leffert asst. news editor

Syracuse University’s LGBT Resource Center will relocate from its 750 Ostrom Ave. address to the fifth floor of Bird Library by January. The center will be temporarily placed there until it can be moved into Schine Student Center. lauren miller asst. video editor By Gabe Stern staff writer

yracuse University’s LGBT Resource Center has been located on Ostrom Avenue for most of its 17-year history. By January, the center will move to the fifth floor of Bird Library as SU prepares to potentially move forward with plans to expand student housing, the center’s director said. The LGBT Resource Center isn’t alone. The Daily Orange, the Center for Autism Research in Electrophysiology Lab and the Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity all must relocate in coming years if SU expands on-campus student housing into the 700 block of Ostrom. SU plans to build two dorms on a stretch

of Ostrom between Shaw and DellPlain halls. The university announced the potential infrastructure expansion in May 2017 as part of the Campus Framework initiative, a 20-year plan for construction projects on University Hill. SU owns all of the properties in the 700 block, but leases them to different organizations. The exact timeline for the expansion is currently unclear. Pete Sala, SU’s senior vice president and chief facilities officer, did not respond to a request for comment on this story. But preparations for the housing expansion have already begun, said khristian kemp-delisser, director of the LGBT Resource Center. “There’s no more doubt,” kemp-delisser said. “The LGBT Resource Center will be moving.” SU has started construction on the fifth

floor of Bird to prepare for the resource center’s temporary move. The LGBT Resource Center will be housed in Schine Student Center after future renovations to that building are complete, kemp-delisser said. The Office of Multicultural Affairs and the Disability Cultural Center will share an office space with the resource center in the renovated Schine building, they said. Sala said at a May press conference that construction for Schine’s renovation could begin as early as January 2019. kemp-delisser said Colleen Bench, associate vice president for SU’s division of enrollment and student experience, had informed them in late September that the move was confirmed, and Bench has sent over moving boxes. see ostrom page 4

MySlice to offer preferred pronoun option By Lyle Andrew Michael contributing writer

Syracuse University is working to ensure increased gender inclusivity for LGBTQ students on MySlice by adding a preferred pronoun option, officials with Information Technology Services and the LGBT Resource Center said. MySlice, the university’s online portal for applicants, students, faculty and staff, added a preferred name option in 2016. A preferred pronoun option is in the works with a targeted September 2019 launch, said Erik Anderson, director of ITS’s Enterprise Technology Group, in an email. The functionality for preferred

pronouns and their implementation will be reviewed between now and September, he added. Representatives from the LGBT Resource Center and ITS, as well as undergraduate and graduate student representatives, will spearhead those efforts. Student Association President Ghufran Salih said the correct expression of a student’s pronoun is essential for students and professors alike, as it would help avoid uncomfortable situations based on gender identity. “Gender identity can be a tough thing for students to discuss,” Salih said. “As representatives of student needs, we are working to get members on the advisory committee for this project and help them achieve

the change they are seeking.” Anderson said the prefered pronoun option may be included on MySlice after the next update. He said that the current system works effectively, with more than 1,000 students, faculty and staff having used the portal to change their preferred name in the system. The Preferred Name, Pronoun, and Gender Advisory Council, chaired by LGBT Resource Center Director khristian kemp-delisser, will be instrumental in the effort to introduce a preferred pronoun option, Anderson said. The council, formed in May, holds focus group sessions with students, faculty and staff. The council is gathering information to help understand student

needs so they can best establish the preferred pronoun option for SU’s LGBTQ community, kempdelisser said. “This will add another layer to sharing one’s identity online along with the preferred name option introduced two years ago,” kempdelisser added. kemp-delisser said one factor to consider when looking at increasing gender inclusivity is to make sure the process of changing preferred pronouns is completed in a timely and precise manner. Once the preferred pronoun option is implemented, students will be able to directly establish their identity online without going through see pronouns page 4

Greek life reviewers who visited the Syracuse University campus last month plan to submit a draft report by Oct. 17, Chancellor Kent Syverud said at a Wednesday meeting of the University Senate. Syverud said at the meeting that the external Greek life consultants are “impressive people,” and SU will take their report seriously. He also said USen and students will receive further reports throughout the process, but he did not give specific details on the extent of what those reports will be or when they will be distributed. The Greek life audit, which is split into four phases, began after the Theta Tau controversy last spring. The Theta Tau fraternity was expelled in April for videos the chancellor called, “extremely racist, antiSemitic, homophobic, sexist, and hostile to people with disabilities.” All full-time undergraduate students were eligible to take a Greek life survey that was sent out before and during the beginning of the school year. About 42 percent of students eligible to participate responded to the survey. “(The consultants) met with lots of groups of people, including students not affiliated with Greek life, the Syracuse Police Department, DPS, faculty, staff advisers, the Greek council presidents, Greek-affiliation alumni (and) various people in the division of enrollment and the student experience,” Syverud said. Senators on Wednesday raised concerns about the future of the campus-wide first-year experience, as well. A USen subcommittee has developed a permanent, mandatory three-credit course through the College of Arts and Sciences. It would teach students about diversity and inclusion and replace the current firstyear experience SEM100 course. Many senators said they have concerns about the potential course, including its cost, who will teach the course, that students may reject the curriculum and that it could impact other courses the students would take. In SEM100, a non-graded course launched this year, all first-year students are required to participate in a shared reading experience. SU distributed more than 6,000 copies of comedian and political commentator Trevor Noah’s memoir “Born a Crime,” and 400 facilitators were trained to lead discussions. The five-week course began Sept. 24. ccleffer@syr.edu

Businesses affected by apartment complex By Emma Folts

contributing writer

The opening of The Marshall, a luxury student apartment complex, has increased foot traffic on Marshall Street, local business managers and owners said. The complex that now towers over Marshall Street opened in September after delays prevented it from being ready at the start of the school year. The eight-story complex has a 287-bed capacity, with the first floor reserved for commercial space. Managers of businesses on and around Marshall Street, adjacent to The Marshall, expressed mixed feelings about the presence of the luxury apartment building. The new apartments have positively affected the 92-year-old Varsity Pizza, said Frank Polera, manager of Varsity Pizza. The South Crouse Avenue pizza shop has adjusted its hours to maximize

student business, Polera said. The shop is now open from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Sundays and has added an all-day Sunday brunch option, which has become “really popular,” he said. Manny’s is the oldest establishment on Marshall Street, selling Syracuse University apparel and merchandise since 1949. Its manager, Bill Nester, has worked at the clothing store for more than 35 years. “I can’t really say that I’ve seen an increase in business,” Nester said, “but with more people on the street or close to the business that we’re running, it can’t help but be good.” As The Marshall is not currently at full capacity, Nester said that he might be able to determine the building’s impact on Manny’s once there are more residents living in the apartments. J. Michael Shoes, established in 1983, is a family-owned Marshall

Street business that sells shoes, apparel and accessories. The manager, Jim Hicks, said he thinks of The Marshall as “a sign of progress.” Having students living closer to the store instead of places farther away, on East Genesee Street or South Campus, will potentially bring in more business, he added. Michelle Henry, the manager of Bleu Monkey Cafe, a restaurant just a few doors down from J. Michael Shoes, said she thinks The Marshall has created difficulties in parking. She also said she doesn’t believe The Marshall has affected business at the Asianinspired eatery. “That’s a lot of added people driving, commuting through here,” she said. Hicks called parking on Marshall Street “a major obstacle in this area.” Henry said she doesn’t think a lack of parking will be a problem for the restaurant because students

coming in on foot make up much of the Bleu Monkey crowd. She added that developers should not create new luxury student apartments unless adequate parking garages or lots are designated. The Marshall is not the only luxury student apartment in the university area. Theory Syracuse, located on East Genesee Street and The 505 on Walnut, located on Walnut Avenue, are both new luxury housing complexes near campus that began leasing apartments to students this fall. It is good to have a balance between old and new, even if it causes problems with foot and car traffic, Nester said. “It’s nice to have new apartments, or new places to live, or updated college facilities,” Nester said. “That is definitely a good thing for the community and for Syracuse University.” esfolts@syr.edu

Off-campus housing tool to launch in November By Kate Minutillo

contributing writer

Syracuse University plans to launch an off-campus housing tool in November to help students search for safe and affordable living options. Members of a university workgroup said SU will work with landlords and city officials to make sure the housing listings are accurate and that the properties are compliant with code regulations. Students will also be able to find roommates and subletters. Participating students will fill out a questionnaire detailing their preferences for amenities, accom-

modations, distance from campus and other factors. The questionnaire will then generate results based on the desired criteria. Jack Wilson, president of the Graduate Student Organization and member of the committee organizing the platform, said the new tool is designed to serve as the main source for students to find off-campus housing. “We’re hoping this allows these new students to be less vulnerable to the peculiarities of the housing market,” he said. Wilson added that the housing search can be difficult for students who are unfamiliar with the area

or unable to view properties in person. The platform will create an environment where students can be informed of their options but also be confident that the housing options are safe, he said. A map will pinpoint available locations, and the site will provide details and accurate photos on specific units. A guide to approaching landlords with questions and signing leases will be featured on the site. SU is working with the website developer, Off Campus Partners, and the city to approve the properties before they are listed. Landlords will pay a fee to advertise their properties on the site,

and they are expected to operate in good standing. Amy Sloane-Garris, executive director of graduate enrollment, said students need to have a resource that can provide them with reliable information in the housing search process. The committee started researching in fall 2017 to determine the parameters for the website and make a request for proposals from different listing websites, she added. “It’s going to be very helpful for students to make an informed decision,” said Sloane-Garris. kjminuti@syr.edu

Lambda Chi Alpha’s president did not respond to requests for comment on this story. The CARE Lab declined to comment on its moving status. Student Legal Services, which was formerly housed in one of the SU-owned buildings on Ostrom, has already relocated to an office at the Marshall Square Mall. SLS Director Christopher Burke said he did not know of SU’s plans to build housing on Ostrom Avenue, and that their move was coordinated through SU’s Student Association and Graduate Student Organization. On a June afternoon in 2016, Justin Mattingly, then-editor-in-chief of The D.O., sat in his car in downtown Richmond, Virginia. He scrolled through a draft of the Campus Framework, and saw red highlighting around a block of Ostrom. It was labeled “campus building opportunities.” There was a small gap in highlighting on the plan, near the location of The D.O.’s offices at 744 Ostrom Ave. He said he wondered if the house was included in the “campus building opportunities.” By the end of the day, he found that it was. “I saw it and had a — not a meltdown, but that ‘take-a-deep-breath moment.’” Mattingly said. More than two years later, current D.O. Editor-in-chief Sam Ogozalek is looking at potential new housing sites for The D.O. He’s working to find a new space to occupy “well before” June 2020, when the newspaper’s current lease extension at 744 expires, he said. Ogozalek said The D.O.’s management team is looking for a new location in the University Hill neighborhood, from the area east of Main from page 1

pronouns administrative barriers, they said. But there are still technical issues to address regarding the preferred name option. Hitting submit and changing the preferred name doesn’t ensure that the change is reflected in every system database, which is something MySlice’s technical team will have to address when moving forward with the

Campus to spots toward East Genesee Street. Sala has largely been the voice of the Campus Framework plan. He has sent campuswide emails giving updates on SU infrastructure projects in recent years. None have included the developments on Ostrom. “That’s another reason that I was so unsure (if the LGBT Resource Center would move)” kemp-delisser said. “Because I don’t see the more official channels communicating that message out.” Sala has remained in contact with D.O. management during the past two years. In fall 2016, Sala walked Mattingly through campus to discuss his vision for the Campus Framework, Mattingly said. In summer 2018, he spoke with Ogozalek. kemp-delisser looks forward to the LGBT Resource Center’s move, they said. But Mattingly said “Nobody wants the D.O. to leave 744 Ostrom,” in an email to The D.O. Board of Directors in June 2016. The D.O. moved into 744 Ostrom Ave. in 1983. The LGBT Resource Center was established in 2001, and moved to Ostrom Avenue shortly after. kemp-delisser was a member of Pride Union when they were a student at SU, they said. They pushed for an LGBT center to be created. Now, they’re moving out and heading closer to the heart of campus. “It’s a really bittersweet experience for me to return to my alma mater, to lead up the center that I helped to open, but also at the same time to close the center,” said kempdelisser, laughing. “My triumphant return (to the LGBT Resource Center) is to preside over the closing of it.” gkstern@syr.edu

preferred pronoun plan, they said. Quincy Nolan, a student assistant at the LGBT Resource Center, said the move will increase inclusivity at SU. “SU will definitely emerge more inclusive towards queer individuals with this step,” Nolan said. “It would help reduce the number of mistakes we see occurring when the wrong reference is made to one’s gender on campus.” lymichae@syr.edu

letter to the editor

16 year olds can’t be trusted to vote Women featured in article respond to D.O. S cotland and New Zealand have a voting age of 16, and now Washington, D.C. may try to follow suit. A bill could soon be passed lowering the voting age minimum to 16 in the District of Columbia. That’s not a great idea. While teenage Americans demonstrate political activism, and impressively assemble to shift political discussions and advocate for change, I don’t believe lowering the voting age will significantly fix anything in our country. Residents in the United States already have a lousy — but deserved — reputation of not turning out at the polls. We talk the talk, but when it comes time to vote, not everyone really takes action. As opinionated and divided as this country may seem, you would think people wouldn’t hesitate to voice their opinions via a ballot. But that’s not the case. Adding more youths to that mix won’t make it any better. On one hand, it could be argued that young people are more informed and passionate in regard to their political environment. But they can also be easily influenced by

parents’ views — Sarah Miraglia, a sociology professor at Syracuse University, said 16 year olds may not be able to make up their minds on their own. “My only concern is that at 16, the person is still dependent on the parent,” Miraglia said. “Do they have the independence to vote as they would without a parent?” But Candace Walsh, a junior studying finance and supply chain management, said her 17-year-old brother deserved a vote in the 2016 election — he knew more about it than she did, she said. She suggested the establishment of a ballot process for people under the age of 18. “It shouldn’t count towards the votes, but it could be to see what the younger people think, so that older people could see what they (younger people) want,” she said. But that could be dangerous. People only participate in political activism temporarily, in some cases. It’s now trendy to attend protests,

so is today’s environment really the start of the American youth’s political awakening? A fad doesn’t warrant a legislative change. Young students hold megaphones and repeat commonly-used narratives over and over again, thinking shouting makes them seem angrier and angstier — angrier and angstier being the equation that equals importance. I say this not to diminish the great work that young people have done in the past year. But the voting age is already low enough. Lowering the age any further to allow others to vote would put the integrity of voting at risk. Ideally, people should be informed about their voting choices. But we’ve seen adults already faulting this system — so there’s no question that children wouldn’t have the emotional and intellectual capability to responsibly make a sound choice for themselves and their country.

e are the three women featured in the recent article “Outnumbered.” After reading the published story, we found it important to make a few additional comments that were not reflected in the story about female representation in engineering at Syracuse University. As women in engineering, we are not taking back or hiding our stories, experiences or feelings that we, and so many other women, have undergone. However, we feel the need to clarify that although there is still inequality in our field, we are trailblazers and feel empowered by being women in STEM. We have a community that supports one another, organizations such as Society of Women Engineers and Women of Color in Science and Technology that work hard at integrating women within STEM, and professors, both male and female, who are thoughtful, inspiring and supportive. Female representation in engineering and technology as a whole has improved drastically in the past few decades, let alone the increase we’ve seen in the past four years. We are moving toward a world where equal representation can be a reality. For example, Michelle Blum, the program director for the Mechanical Engineering program, and College of Engineering and Computer Sci-

ence Dean Teresa Dahlberg exemplify what it means to be a strong female leader in both engineering and academia. We also want to address that we do not agree with our story being tied directly to the #MeToo movement. As much as equality in STEM is incredibly important and traces of societal sexism lingers in engineering, this story is not addressing a #MeToo movement situation. So we feel like it minimizes the experiences of sexual assault survivors. We also want to recognize that although gender inequality is a prevalent issue in STEM, there is still bias of race, ethnicity, sexual orientation and disability within STEM fields, and that acknowledging these identities and intersectionality within these identities is incredibly important to achieving equality within the profession. The three of us are proud to be women in STEM and have very high aspirations for our futures. We are empowered by being engineers, to have the ability to make a direct impact in the way this world develops. We are here to encourage the future generation of women interested in science and technology to keep tinkering, keep dreaming and to keep pushing forward.

Local indie artists stay true to form

A cappella group to fundraise for cancer

By Tighe Gugerty

By Claire Nolan

Indie artists in Syracuse are using the power of technology to make sure their music is heard. With platforms such as SoundCloud, Bandcamp and Spotify, artists are now free to distribute grooves to anyone, anywhere — returning meaning to “indie,” or independent, artists. Mason Sunderland is a Syracuse-area musician who selfproduces indie pop. Sunderland began playing music at age 10, when his mom bought him a guitar. Soon after that, his grandfather began teaching him to play. “He taught me how to play blues scales and basically taught me how to play the guitar,” Sunderland said. From there, he started performing at shows with his grandfather, along with several bands in high school. In 2015, Sunderland was recording his own music, and in just a few years, he was releasing EPs and a 2018 debut album, “Zeroes!” Sunderland said he draws influences from acts such as Elliott Smith, David Bowie and Big Star. For the artist, a simple musical structure paired with a good melody are the keys to writing catchy pop songs. “It makes people come back to your music, it’s why people go back to the Beatles. It’s what makes pop music so catchy,” Sunderland said. Sunderland released a new EP, titled “Actor,” this past August. The EP displays heavy 60s baroque influences on top of Sunderland’s already melodic sound. Sunderland said he believes this EP is an improvement from his debut album. “It’s definitely a step up. My first album was all over the place,” Sunderland said. Fans can expect a new full-length album later this year, he added. Max Marcy, a sophomore sound recording technolog y major at Syracuse University, is also a self-producing, guitardriven indie performer. Similar to Sunderland, Marcy began his music career playing the guitar. His mother also bought him one, following relentless pleading from her fifth-grade son. “I’ve just been taking lessons and recording the music I like since then,” Marcy said. In high school, he played in a ska band called The Cuddle Fish. That’s when Marcy said he discovered his music tastes and learned how to perform. Marcy said ska, punk and emo serve as principal influences when crafting his sound, referencing bands like Joyce Manor and Minor Threat. Marcy recently self-released a single titled “I’m Sorry,” which he described as “folk punk.” “I recorded it in a dorm room. It’s high energy, a lot of acoustic

At Otto Tunes’ rehearsal on Monday night, member Kevin Brennan was serenaded by fellow group members as they waxed his chest with Nair strips. The group had promised to wax Brennan’s chest if they raised $500 for the Testicular Cancer Foundation over the weekend, in anticipation of its upcoming fundraiser concert. Otto Tunes, one of Syracuse University’s all-men a cappella groups, will host its sixth annual Cockappella concert fundraiser Saturday at 8 p.m. The fundraiser will take place at Hendricks Chapel, and a $5 donation is recommended. Cockappella benefits the Testicular Cancer Foundation, an organization that hits close to home for the performers. “It is the most common cancer among men ages 15-34, so it is relevant to our age group and the people in Otto Tunes, as well as any student who identifies as male on this campus,” said Steven Visceglia, business manager of Otto Tunes. President of Otto Tunes David Robusto said he’s excited for the event — he thinks a cappella is a great way to discuss cancer with a college-aged audience. “A cappella has a spectacle to it. There is no expectation to be serious,” he said. “This is a very serious cause, but we don’t have to take ourselves seriously. We can just be our genuine selves.” Cockappella aims to spread awareness of testicular cancer to men on campus and encourage them to check themselves, said Zach Driscoll, public relations director of Otto Tunes. Driscoll has spent many hours promoting the event, and his work has paid off. P ublic relations for Cockappella has improved significantly over the years, which in turn has led to an increase in donations. This year, Otto Tunes performed a “Sorority Tour,” to sing for different sororities at their chapters. Some guests will be featured at the event, including Orange Appeal, another all-men a cappella group on campus, and Syracuse quarterback Rex Culpepper. Culpepper was diagnosed with testicular cancer last year, undergoing 100 hours of chemotherapy. Now cancer-free, he will be sharing his story at Cockapella. Otto Tunes is not the only music group on campus that uses a cappella as a platform to advocate for causes. All-women a cappella groups Main Squeeze and The Mandarins will perform their benefit concert, Empow(her), Thursday at 8 p.m. for $3 with an SU ID in Schine Underground.

changed,’” Burg said. Burg describes that moment as a turning point for his relationship with his fans. Just a few months later, he met that same fan in person when she came to one of his shows in Los Angeles. “She showed up with a drawing of me and said ‘Hey, Charlie, I’m that girl that sent you that message,’” Burg said. “That was a very surreal moment.” But for those who know Burg best, that moment — and Burg’s ability to connect with his fans on such intimate levels — comes as no surprise. “Charlie’s warm energy transfers through to his incredible versatile music, with powerful songwriting that allows any listener to connect to his inner emotions,” said Josie Strick, a junior music student. To balance all of the online interactions, Burg said he wanted to do something different for the release of “Two, Moonlight.” While in Seattle this past summer, he got an idea for lyric booklets to pair with his songs. “I wanted to do something that takes it offline and connects with real people,” he said. In July, Burg posted on Instagram requesting that his followers send him a screenshot of the album saved or downloaded, and their address. In return, they would get “something special in the mail.” Burg said he expected maybe 40 DMs. He received about 180, and he hadn’t even made the booklets yet — but after time-consuming work, it was a rewarding project, Burg said. But there’s no booklet for “Three, Fever” — Burg said he wants the upcoming EP to be from page 7

different than his past work. He said people tend to pin him as a “love song” artist. “I’ve gotten that comment before,” Burg said. “‘Charlie, you love your love songs’ and I know, it comes naturally and it’s a potent feeling.” While listeners may have grown accustomed to his soulful hums over an acoustic guitar and keys, Burg is aiming for more introspective songwriting. “Last summer was a really important summer for me in terms of coming to terms with things in myself that I’ve battled for a long time. And that’s something the songs have been inspired by a little bit more,” Burg said. The past few years of being both an artist and student have been tough for Burg. He admitted that he’s reconsidering his future as a performer. While Burg said he doesn’t want to go on tour, he does want to keep making music and sharing it with the world. “I’ve been having some reconsiderations about my desire for the limelight,” Burg said. “I want to sign my friends, I want to write songs for other people.” Charlie also has his sights set on reviving Detroit, where the Birmingham, MI native got his start playing in coffee bars. Burg said he dreams of opening a venue in the city that serves coffee in the day and alcohol at night, and gives musicians a space to perform. But, for now, Burg will be in the studio. After the group laid down some bass and drums at Belfer Audio Laboratory and Archive last week, Burg fiddled with one of his demo tracks on his laptop. Finding the right mix, he bobbed his head to the beat and the room grooved with him.

guitars,” Marcy said. Marcy plans to release a full, studiorecorded EP in the near future. As Marcy progresses, he said he does not want to lose touch with his artistic independence. “Being an independent artist, you have complete control over your product … It’s just better, I think. I might sign to a label, but I still what to have that DIY sound,” Marcy said. Indie music has evolved to encompass more than just rock and pop. Lemuel Thyret — a sophomore communication and rhetorical studies major at SU who goes by Big L.C.T. — is putting out fresh indie rap. Thyret produces up-tempo, energetic hip-hop akin to hits from G-Eazy and Drake. His biggest influences are other indie rap contemporaries, such as Russ and William Bolton. On each track, Thyret pays careful attention to the crafting of his lyrics. Rarely

does he start from a first draft — he said he usually rewrites a track two to three times. Most of the production on his albums comes from his childhood friend, Jesse Evans, who goes by the producer tag Evince. The two met in middle school and found a mutual interest in music, bonding over the craftsmanship of song-making. Thyret self-released his debut album, “Trendsetter,” last week. The album is made up of most of the work he has put out in the past year and a half. “Trendsetter” touches on a variety of subjects, including first loves and the celebration of newfound fame. Moving forward, he plans on releasing a string of EPs in the next year and wants to make music full time, on his own. As the internet-music landscape evolves, more independent artists like Thyret will utilize online platforms to pursue music on their own terms — in hopes of making it big without a record deal. “If I can pay my bills and do this independently, that would be insane to me. That would be the dream,” Thyret said. tgugerty@syr.edu

said she feels like a cappella is a perfect outlet to discuss more serious issues, such as cancer and eating disorders. “A cappella has this amazing way of taking issues that are hard to talk about and putting them in a new light, because you are expressing your feelings through music,” Hotchkiss said. cmnolan@syr.edu

kickboxing — a team Coleman tallied two sacks against in 2018 — Coleman registered one quarterback hurry. Early in the fourth quarter, Coleman’s pass rush failed. When an offensive linemen punched out at Coleman, he tried to rip around him, but he wasn’t low enough. When he was stonewalled running downfield, he scrambled back inside but spun out of the play. Coleman admitted he hasn’t always studied tackle movements. He said in past years he didn’t bring his lower half with him. Tackles didn’t have to adjust to his movements. Coleman failed to turn the corner on a tackle headed for the quarterback, he said. When Coleman came home for a brief period in July, his sister, Kourtney, and Nikki wanted family-oriented activities. Nikki suggested the trio attend classes at iLoveKickboxing in Carmel, Indiana. Coleman initially declined. “He’s practical,” Nikki explained. He didn’t want Nikki paying $30 for a membership he’d use once. But Nikki and Kourtney from page 12

shifts switch play and cross the ball to the opposite side of the field. Raposo, playing in a deeper spot defensively, knocked the pass off its course when it reached its target and drew a foul. “It’s a willingness to make life uncomfortable for the opponent,” McIntyre said. The tactic worked in the first half of the Wake Forest contest. Multiple forwards pressed high and Raposo darted near the penalty box, corralling a loose ball and getting a shot on net. Generating more turnovers hasn’t been an emphasis, McIntyre said. Instead, the focus has been on positioning. In the second half of the OSU contest, McIntyre urged his forwards to maintain the defensive intensity. The Buckeyes earned a throw-in in front of the SU bench after a sustained bout of possession. McIntyre walked the sidelines with arms pointed at two white jerseys. He called for Raposo and Severin Soerlie,

convinced Coleman to attend an orientation class where the former three-star recruit stood out immediately. “And I was like, ‘Oh God, this guy could eat me for breakfast,’” said iLoveKickboxing Assistant Manager Tarrin Cooper. Cooper worked Coleman through his opening day routine, which is significantly lighter than a normal day of training. At 5:45 a.m. two days later, Coleman and about five other clients in the class began with what iLoveKickboxing calls SHIIT (Super high intensity interval training) for 15 minutes. After the circuit of burpees, pushups, mountain climbers, situps and various other core exercises, the group stretched for seven or eight minutes. Then came the principles that directly correlate for Coleman. The class practiced punch and kick combos on a heavy punching bag for three minutes at a time. Initially, Coleman smacked the bags too hard to combo, Cooper said. Cooper instructed him to unleash less power with each punch to throw more rapidly. With each combo, Coleman’s lower body corresponded with the movements of his upper another first-year forward, to match up. “We keep drilling home that everyone has to work hard on the field,” senior defender Kamal Miller said. “It doesn’t matter if you’re a forward, a winger or defender. You need to contribute defensively.” Orange goalkeeper Hendrik Hilpert “appreciates” watching forwards make an impact in the defensive third. He’s noticed it drains opposing forwards of their stamina while simultaneously energizing the Orange. SU has fed off the momentum in the last week and responded to its most-recent failure. A change needed to be made. And then Syracuse limited Akron, the 22nd offense in the country, to one goal. Then Wake Forest, a team that had scored multiple goals in all of its previous games, was kept off the scoresheet. Then Ohio State, a team that’s scored five goals all year, was handled with ease. “I got to contribute so (a loss like the Virginia Tech game) doesn’t happen defensively and offensively,” Raposo said. nialvare@syr.edu

half. If he threw a left hook punch, he stepped with his left foot. In pass rushing, the concept is called “bringing your hips through,” Coleman said. In the third quarter of Syracuse’s 30-7 win over Florida State, Coleman’s quick fake to the inside led to a rip move outside. As his left arm cut through, his left leg swung simultaneously past the Seminoles’ left tackle. He stepped with his left foot, which squared Coleman’s hips to FSU quarterback Deondre Francois and ended with a sack. “I tried to have him string together his combos,” Cooper said. “From this combo into the next combo. It helps with form overall.” After the heavy bags, Coleman worked on his hands. In one drill, a partner holds their hands shoulder-width apart, with their gloves serving as targets for the other boxer. While Coleman punched, the class emphasized locking in on a target. After each punch, boxers are taught to reset their hands and feet. The back and forth movements reminiscent of ballet dancing are also common in pass rushing. On the first drive of the second half against from page 12

airpods “It’s not really a timing thing,” Wheddon said. “I think, as a staff, it’s always good to have a set of eyes upstairs to really identify what the other team is doing.” Getting input from assistant coaches in elevated vantage points has been helpful, Wheddon said, adding that he trusts his coaching staff and the relaying of information. The game can look different from the sideline than from above. “I think it does paint a different picture because as a coach, sometimes you feel something from the sideline,” Wheddon said. “You may feel like there’s a certain space or people are taking advantage of a certain area of the field. And yet, from above, it might actually appear to be different.” Against NC State, the Orange was tasked with bottling up junior forward Tziarra King, who has registered 21

Clemson, Coleman stepped four times before making contact with offensive tackle Mitch Hyatt. Left. Right. Left. Right. Coleman’s lanky frame appeared nearly elastic. At the fourth step, with his feet evened up, he punched Hyatt’s shoulders with both arms and ripped through his outside shoulder en route to his first sack of the afternoon. “A defensive end is going to use his hands to get off the block or get off the line fast,” iLoveBoxing instructor Kyle Miller said. “Teaching him how to not just punch hard but bring his hands back, just as fast for those quick trigger muscles … that helped him a lot as well.” After less than a week of boxing training, Coleman returned to Syracuse. He said the kickboxing made him think more about how his body moves. He’s since kickboxed in the SU weight room several times, despite not finding teammates willing to join in. “For other guys, the stuff that they needed to work on was more oriented toward the bags on the field,” Coleman said. “And the stuff that that I needed to work on had me on the heavy bag.” jlschafe@syr.edu | @Schafer_44

points, second most in the ACC. From the start, SU’s game plan was for Clarke Brown to shadow King, but when Lawrence noticed King occasionally drifting toward midfield, the Orange had to adjust. Since Wheddon didn’t want Brown sucked too far away from her net, SU had to pass King to a midfielder when King retreated to patrol the midfield. Many teams have used the “eye in the sky” tactic against SU, Wheddon said. According to the 2018 NCAA soccer rule book, members of coaching staffs who are listed on the game roster, and are on site, are permitted to communicate with each other via electronic devices. Teams cannot use electronics to dispute a call during the game, and they cannot use drones. While technology has helped SU make in-game adjustments and given another perspective to Wheddon, it has not translated to wins in the ACC. dremerma@syr.edu

“For other guys, the stuff that they needed to work on was more oriented toward the bags on the field. And the stuff that I needed to work on had me on the heavy bag.” Kendall Coleman su defensive end

KICKSTART Kendall Coleman developed his pass rush by kickboxing with his mom By Josh Schafer sports editor

endall Coleman’s parents spend their Sundays rewatching the Syracuse game from the day before. Coleman’s mother, Nikki, noticed her son is quicker off the line this year. With his body lower to the ground, he bends smoother toward the quarterback. He’s surgical with his strikes. After 1.5 sacks in his first 20 games at Syracuse, Coleman focused on his pass rush this offseason. He increased his flexibility by rehabbing an injured shoulder, studied offensive tackles and focused on the minute details of rushing the quarterback. But he didn’t know how those things connected. Everything came together 643 miles from the SU campus during a family bonding session, where Nikki introduced her 6-foot-3, 266pound pass rusher to kickboxing.

“Kendall is a guy that studies a lot,” Nikki said. “And I think going to that class with him, showing him some movements and how to move his body and his hands, I think that sticks with him.” Six games in, Coleman sits tied for seventh in the nation with six sacks for Syracuse (4-2, 1-2 Atlantic Coast). The junior defensive end said after two years of primarily stopping the run, he spent the last offseason fine-tuning his pass rush. The uptick in production is tough for Coleman to explain because one thing didn’t change. Everything did. He never focused on pass rushing before. And in an offseason full of weight lifting, deeper opponent analysis and the shifting away from the run-first mindset, a workout with mom remains the quirkiest nuance. “This is the first year that I’ve really started to grasp and figure out my body type,” Coleman said, “and how I move versus these guys and what they’re doing.” In Syracuse’s loss at Florida State last season

Forwards shift back on defense SU utilizes AirPods on sidelines during games By Nick Alvarez staff writer

Last Friday, then No.1-Wake Forest tried to bully Syracuse with physicality. Virginia Tech executed a similar gameplan a week earlier, so the Demon Deacon’s attempted to follow the blueprint on their first possession of the game. WFU’s 6-foot-2 forward Machop Chol glided down the pitch, pressuring the left side of SU’s formation. He was a step away from the box when an orange-and-blue striped blur charged and knocked the ball away from behind. Ryan Raposo, a forward known for dazzling with his offense, used his 5-foot-7, 139pound frame to dispossess Chol. It established the tone of the impend-

ing 2-0 upset, the Orange’s first conference win in more than 700 days. “We did a good job of limiting their opportunities,” SU head coach Ian McIntyre said after the WFU win. “That starts with the front guys.” No. 24 Syracuse (6-4-1, 1-3-0 Atlantic Coast) is riding a threegame winning streak in part because of its forwards’ — from Raposo to Hilli Goldhar to Massimo Ferrin — devotion in SU’s defensive third. The Orange currently rank 98th in goals against average. They’ve allowed 14 scores in 1030 minutes of soccer. Twelve of those goals, however, came in the season’s first 7 games. While the Syracuse offense starts to click, the defense has done its part. It kept Wake For-

est and Ohio State — one of the best, and then one of the worst offenses in the country — off the score sheet. The Orange aim to prolong its winning streak in Kentucky on Friday at 7 p.m. when it takes on No. 11 Louisville (7-2-2, 3-1-1). Earlier this season, it was SU’s smaller players like Goldhar and Raposo that faced discomfort due to their size. Goldhar said he routinely got “kicked,” referring to getting knocked over by larger defenders. The Orange have countered with Raposo and Goldhar, using their speed to ambush opposing ball-handlers. With the game still scoreless in Syracuse’s 3-0 win over Ohio State on Oct. 8, the Buckeyes tried to

The Apple AirPod lodged in Syracuse head coach Phil Wheddon’s right ear during games isn’t blasting rock music. Wheddon receives information from assistant coach Kelly Lawrence, who is stationed atop the SU Soccer Stadium bleachers and sees the game from a bird’s-eye view. This is common procedure for Syracuse (3-11, 0-6 Atlantic Coast), Wheddon said. SU doesn’t use the communication strategy every game. It depends on how the stands are set

up. When applicable, Wheddon will send a member of his coaching staff to the bleachers to be his “eyes in the sky” and observe, at least to start the match, the tactics and formations of the opposing team. Wheddon typically sends Lawrence. In the Orange’s 6-3 loss to North Carolina State last Thursday, Lawrence spent the first 18 minutes of the match in the stands, feeding information into Wheddon’s ear. Against North Carolina, she returned to the bench after 25 minutes perched above the video cameras, in the bleachers. see airpods page 10
