Judy O’Rourke receives honor for work with Remembrance, Lockerbie scholars

J

By Maggie Cregan ASST. COPY EDITOR

udy O’Rourke has always been there for those affected by the Pan Am Flight 103 tragedy.

She’s a “surrogate mother” to Lockerbie scholars, a good listener, a generous spirit. She’s a keeper of the memories for the Pan Am Flight 103 victims. She’s a bridge between Syracuse University and the victims’ families.

O’Rourke, director of the Office of Undergraduate Studies in Academic Affairs, will receive an Order of the British Empire at a ceremony later this year, the university announced on Oct. 9.

She is receiving the award for her 25 years of work strengthening ties between Lockerbie and Syracuse. The Order of the British

Empire is a British order of chivalry recognizing service to the United Kingdom and its people.

Each year, O’Rourke is instrumental in coordinating Remembrance Week, which honors the lives of the 35 students who died when Pan Am Flight 103 went down over Lockerbie, Scotland as the result of a terrorist attack.

Friends and colleagues say O’Rourke is more than deserving of this honor and that she serves an important role in the SU community.

Having worked with O’Rourke for 10 years and witnessed her dedication, Eileen Fahey, O’Rourke’s assistant, said she was anything but surprised when O’Rourke received the honor.

Shutdown Groups debate CNY casino expansions ends; parties reach deal

By Ellen Meyers STAFF WRITER

By Alfred Ng ASST. NEWS EDITOR

Congress has approved a bipartisan deal, ending a two-week-long government shutdown and avoiding a national default.

The shutdown, which started on Oct. 1, occurred as a result of Congress being unable to reach an agreement on the country’s budget.

The biggest disagreement between Democrats and Republicans for the budget surrounded the Affordable Care Act. The Senate’s agreement on Wednesday creates small changes to Obamacare, implementing stricter income requirements for those who register for health insurance, according to an Oct. 16 New York Times article. Under the agreement, the U.S. government would be funded through Jan. 15 and

With Election Day on the horizon, the future of gambling in New York state remains unknown. Four speakers provided their insight on the pros and cons of an expansion of casinos in a debate on Wednesday night.

Currently, a proposal by Gov. Andrew Cuomo to expand casinos into Central New York regions is on the referendum, which will be voted on during Election Day. The Campbell Public Affairs Institute hosted the debate concerning this referendum, which took place in Maxwell Auditorium. Grant Reeher, the director of the institute and a professor of political science, served as the moderator.

As audience members entered the auditorium, they were encouraged to cast a pre-debate vote for a mock ballot on expanding casino gambling. Before sitting through the debate, the votes came to 20 for passing the referendum and 23 against. At the end, signs saying “yea” or “nay” were posted above each of the doors and whichever door viewers chose to exit through symbolized their vote.

margaret lin | staff photographer DAVID BLANKENHORN, president of the Institute of American Values, argues against the expansion of casinos in New York at a lecture Wednesday.

The debate was controversial enough to sway the audience, with the ending tally totaling 17 in favor and 33 opposed.

Ken Pokalsky, vice president of government affairs at the Business Council of New York State, Inc. and Marc Baez, an

economic development and management consultant, argued in favor of expanding casino gambling in the state. David Blankenhorn, president of the Institute for American Values, and Stephen Shafer,

Liberians release journalist

By Zane Warman STAFF WRITER

After weeks in prison and days of being guarded by officers in a hospital, Liberian journalist Rodney Sieh was given a 30-day “compassionate release.”

Suffering from an illness that officials have not yet elaborated on, Sieh was released last week for the first time since Aug. 23 by the Liberian Ministry of Justice, said Ken Harper, an assistant professor of multimedia photography and design at Syracuse University. Harper had started a campaign to free Sieh, as the two had worked together in a program titled “Together Liberia,” which provided multimedia training for Liberian journalists.

Sieh is bound to Liberia’s capital, Monrovia, under the grounds of the compassionate release, according to an Oct. 10 Reporters Without Borders press release. Compassionate release is a legal system by which inmates can be released early from prison on special grounds, such as illness.

While the release is short of what many believe to be justice, Harper said it is progress.

“It’s a big battle, because people are really angry over things he’s reported on,” Harper said.

“It’s a difficult environment to do anything in journalism there.”

Sieh worked for The PostStandard from 2000 to 2003 before eventually establishing FrontPage Africa in his native Liberia.

The newspaper became known for its exposés on unfair practices by governing officials. When millions of dollars went missing from the agriculture ministry, Sieh and FrontPage Africa accused the Minister of Agriculture of corruption based on reports by Liberia’s independent General Auditing Commission. The minister resigned then sued Sieh for defamation of character. The specific law that Sieh was charged with violating is more than 150 years old and sentences perpetrators to 5,000 years in prison, he said.

“They’ve come a far ways from the dark days of journalism there, when they used to just kill you, burn your paper down,” said Harper. “Now they’re using the court system, outdated legal

SU to change seating DPS sees decrease in for Orange Madness larcenies at Bird library

By Annie Palmer ASST. NEWS EDITOR

For this year’s Orange Madness, fans will see changes in safety and seating in response to the stabbing at last year’s event.

Rather than general admission, the event will now have assigned seating, said John Sardino, Department of Public Safety associate chief.

The event has been general admission since its re-launch in 2007, when it was held at Manley Field House instead of the Carrier Dome.

At last year’s Orange Madness, a man was stabbed in the upper-shoulder area, prompting officials to end the event 30 minutes early. The man sustained non-life threatening injuries and the incident did not involve anyone affiliated with the university.

Because of last year’s incident, DPS, Syracuse University Athletics and the Syracuse Police Department made the decision to use metal detec-

tion wands to screen people entering the Dome, Sardino said. There will also be heightened DPS and SPD security throughout the Dome in “all the spots usually covered,” he said.

All security and ticketing changes that have been made since the incident were made by DPS, SU Athletics and SPD, Sardino said. Sardino said DPS always meets with whoever the event holder is when they make security changes.

Tickets are now $5, as opposed to being free for past events, said Pete Sala, managing director of the Dome.

Tickets are still free for SU student season-ticket holders, he said. Attendees will need to swipe their ID at Gate E as they do for football and basketball, after which they will find their seats in an assigned area, he said.

Sala, who is also senior associate director of athletics, said he feels assigned seating is an improvement

Compared to last fall, thefts have decreased at E.S. Bird Library.

Several valuables were stolen at Bird Library in previous semesters, including a piece of artwork in November last year and two laptops this February. So far this semester, there have been three reports of larceny inside Bird Library since Aug. 26, Hannah Warren, the Department of Public Safety’s public information and internal communications officer, said in an email.

“The larcenies have gone down this fall, we believe after a few arrests we made at the library in the spring semester,” said Vernon Thompson, DPS’s investigations and crime prevention commander.

The individual accused of stealing the laptops in February was arrested within minutes.

Ambitious NSA reform bill lacks realistic goals

W

hat do three Democrats and one Tea Party member have in common?

Probably not too much, other than the fact they are in constant disagreement.

However, in these bizarre times, the 113th Congress has unintentionally put Ron Wyden, Mark Udall, Richard Blumenthal and Rand Paul on a mission. Their goal is to address surveillance reform, an issue now at the top of the political agenda in light of major controversy surrounding the National Security Agency.

The surveillance argument is one that Democrats and Republicans alike actually seem to agree on. In a Washington Post/ ABC News poll, 70 percent of Democrats and 77 percent of Republicans said they believe the NSA spying programs infringe on privacy rights.

But even if this bill does pass and defies Congress’ normal inability to act, the bill’s goal is still extremely ambitious.

After all, how can you check the NSA’s power when we don’t know what we’re checking?

Right now, the lofty bill has three goals in mind.

First on the agenda is to put an end to bulk collection, section 215 of the Patriot Act, which allowed the NSA to sift through people’s personal phone and Internet data, in hopes of catching prospective acts of terrorism.

Wyden, a member of the Senate Intelligence Committee, believes there is no correlation between the NSA having this data and preventing terrorist attacks.

Ending bulk collection would force the

BR AM BERKOWITZ

digitally affected NSA to get warrants when conducting these activities.

The reform also looks to create a public advocate on the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, which is the secret court that grants the NSA spying approval.

This special delegate would be present for major policy issues and would urge the court to look at cases from a privacy rights perspective.

The bill then transitions over to the section highly advocated by Rand Paul. It hopes to make suing the government, and therefore the NSA, actually possible.

This part of the bill, which lacks specifics, looks to counter the Supreme Court decision in Clapper v. Amnesty International.

In this case, the judges ruled that people do not have the standing to sue the NSA. In other words, people cannot sue the NSA because of assumptions; they need actual proof that the NSA spied on them. As one might imagine, finding evidence against the NSA is not as easy as Edward Snowden made it look.

Of course, the reform is necessary. But is it plausible?

Past efforts to alleviate the power of NSA have failed.

In 2011, surveillance reform advocates thought they achieved a huge victory by shutting down one of the NSA’s massive data collection programs.

However, shortly after, the victory was essentially canceled out when a relatively unpublicized loophole was instituted, allowing the NSA warrantless searches on phone and Internet records of law-abiding Americans.

The current bill will first have to get through opposing Congress members not so likely to just give in to the American public.

Wyden is expecting a battle from what he calls the “business-as-usual” brigade. This group is made up of intelligence officials, their friends in Congress, think tanks and the media.

They will attempt to argue that the media has exaggerated rumors regarding the NSA, and that NSA programs are not as intrusive as people think.

Although not thought to be possible, the final barrier the bill will have to pass through might prove an even greater challenge than Congress. The bill has to get by the foreign intelligence agencies, also known as the most paranoid individuals alive.

And quite honestly, it is pretty unrealistic to think the NSA would actually change our national security.

Third political party could ease public political dissent

A

ccording to a new Gallup poll released on Oct. 11, 60 percent of Americans believe that “the Democratic and Republican parties do such a poor job of representing the American people that a third major party is needed.” Fifty-two percent of those in support of a third major party identified as Republicans and 49 percent identified as Democrats.

In our current electoral system, the emergence of a third major party is highly unlikely.

However, the inf luence of a third party would help end the partisan gridlock in Washington and provide voters with better Congressional representation.

The Founding Fathers were keenly aware of the perils of two dominant parties.

George Washington, the only Independent to be elected president, called a two-party system “frightful despotism.”

John Adams said, “There is nothing which I dread so much as a division of the republic into two great parties.”

Ironically, partisanship was at a high point during the election of 1800 between Thomas Jefferson and incumbent John Adams.

Jefferson’s supporters portrayed Adams as a monarchist and Adams’ supporters portrayed Jefferson as an anarchist — an eerie foreshadowing of the current debate between tea party libertarians and “biggovernment” liberals.

The recent government shutdown and the irresolution about the debt ceiling based on Republican hatred for Obamacare can be

MICHAEL HACKER a chain reaction conservatively left directly linked to such a disagreement.

The debate about the role and size of the federal government has been at the core of most arguments between political factions throughout the country’s history.

Our plurality voting system, in which the winner takes all, is to blame for the current two-party rule.

In the current system, where the candidate with the most votes in an election wins outright, voters are sometimes forced to choose between the lesser of two evils.

For example, suppose a registered Republican voted for Rick Perry in the 2012 Republican primary election.

But, because Mitt Romney won the majority of the Republican primary votes and became the party’s nominee, the voter was left to choose between two candidates, Mitt Romney and Barack Obama.

However, the voter did not support either of these candidates. He or she could still have voted for Rick Perry, but without the monetary backing and support of the Republican Party, Perry’s chances were slim to none.

If a third major party existed, the voter would have had another option. But in order for a third major party to emerge, the United States would almost certainly have to adopt a new electoral format such as a multiplewinner system.

Multiple-winner systems are used in most western-style democracies, but the United States and United Kingdom are the notable exceptions.

If the United States adopted a voting system of multiple winners for Congressional elections, where the proportion of representation is based on the proportion of votes received, a third major party — and other parties — could emerge.

The inf luence of other parties would translate to presidential elections, providing voters with more options. Candidates would also be less restricted by conformity to their party’s platform.

Despite the positives a third major party would bring, it is unlikely we will see the emergence of any other major political parties without a reformation of our electoral system. This is certainly not something we should expect to see anytime soon.

It is interesting to note though, that a good majority of Americans are so fed up with the current system that they would support a major change in government.

Safety measures at Orange Madness demonstrate proactive approach The Syracuse University Department of Public Safety, SU Athletics and the Syracuse Police Department are taking a proactive step to implement safety measures at this year’s Orange Madness.

At last year’s event, an attendee unaffiliated with the university was stabbed, but did not sustain life-threatening injuries. DPS officials said the incident could be attributed to free ticket distribution and general admission because these measures did not deter potentially dangerous individuals from attending.

Though this was an isolated event and should not deter students from attending this year’s event, it is crucial that thorough safety measures are taken to

EDITORIAL by the daily orange editorial board prevent a similar incident.

Fortunately, the university is handling safety appropriately.

This year, pre-emptive safety procedures have been put in place, such as charging $5 for tickets, assigning seating, increasing DPS and SPD presence throughout the Carrier Dome and using metal detection wands. These safety precautions will be effective.

Although tickets only cost $5 and are not a huge financial burden for ticket-buyers, it does provide a barrier to the event, as opposed to giving away tickets for free. This model allowed

almost anyone in the area to make their way through the gates of the Dome.

Meanwhile, choosing to assign seats instead of promoting general admission will quell the chance of fights, which took place in the stands last year.

The university has taken appropriate measures in response to last year’s Orange Madness. It would be irresponsible to ignore them entirely, but worse still to make such extensive changes that the event is no longer accessible to all SU fans.

At its core, Orange Madness is an event that rallies the community together for the start of basketball season.

With these changes to security, it can remain as such.

‘Elect Her’ initiative supports need for women in politics on SU campus

H

er: A simple pronoun and basic linguistic tool in the everyday English vernacular.

But, in the context of women in politics, “her” is more than a grammatical component. It is a symbol of slowly rising equality in representation — too slowly, in both the national and student government political arenas.

In student governments across the country, the ratio of male to female representatives is unbalanced.

Though this gender gap does not ref lect the federal level’s severity, and though women serving in executive capacities exist, men still disproportionately dominate member percentages.

In the 57 years of the Student Association’s existence at Syracuse University, only a handful of females have led the organization.

This is an unfortunate reality that SA President Allie Curtis has witnessed throughout more than three years as a member of the organization.

president has moved beyond an observer. She accomplished the most beneficial goal of her SA career this month by successfully applying to bring the Elect Her initiative to the SU campus.

This spring, SU will be one of only a handful of institutions to host the daylong program, which aims to grow “the pipeline of women running for elected office,” according to the program’s website.

Up to 50 SU female students will have the opportunity to participate.

The training program encourages college women to run for student government and addresses the disparity between the high percentage of women enrolled in college and the low percentage of those who seek out political offices.

“Research has shown that women who run for student body elections in college are more likely to run for office as adults,” according to the site.

campus watchdog Nancy Cantor and the Women’s Leadership Initiative, are imperative in changing the long-term landscape of American politics.

In the U.S. Congress, despite women comprising half of the nation’s population, “her” is only used to refer to 18.3 percent of the entire representative body, according to the Center for American Women in Politics.

At the college level, most women are not seeking leadership positions in student government because it is still “a pretty rough field,” Curtis said.

Instead, women look to traditionally female focused groups such as dance troupes, sororities

Stephen Bailey Trevor Hass Spencer Bodian Sam Maller Mara Corbett Lindsay Dawson Riley Levy Chloe Meister Ankur Patankar Clare Ramirez Jessica Cabe Maggie Cregan Phil D’Abbraccio Jesse Dougherty Dylan Segelbaum Lara Sorokanich

and service organizations.

In both national and student government campaigns, women continue to face high levels of sexism, the challenge of breaking into the “good ‘ole boys club” and are not being taken seriously. Curtis said she was confronted with plenty of inappropriate commentary while running for SA president last fall.

Following her win, peers often tried to wrongly quantify her success in ways other than her credentials, Curtis said. These excuses mainly included the pure novelty of a female candidate and Curtis’ appearance.

Though it is positive to see three women running for vice president this SA election season alongside male presidential candidates, Curtis said a completely female ticket is still unfortunately out of the question.

The key to eliminating stigmas that stif le the presence of women in politics is to confront harsh

realities that continue into the 21st century. Most importantly, we need to encourage more women to run for office.

Curtis believes bringing Elect Her to campus is a feminist action that will aid this situation. “Setting aside the bra-burning stereotype, [feminism] is really about getting both sexes on the same level,” she said.

In today’s world, male federal representatives are still making decisions for women on issues like abortion and sexual assault in the military. Just this week, MSNBC reported Representative Paul Ryan’s goals for restrictive birth control policy.

These decisions affect women’s bodies, futures and well-being, which is why Curtis and I are ready to elect her.

Long-distance relationship

Cornell University professors rely on technology to conduct classes while away

By Meghan Mistry

P

CONTRIBUTING WRITER

rofessors at Cornell University have found a way to teach their courses without even being in the classroom.

Using the Cisco program “WebEx,” professors temporarily out of the office can continue teaching their classes through an online server. WebEx allows professors to interact with their students using the Internet, allowing them to upload Powerpoints or videos, said Michael Haflett, the classroom technologies coordinator at Cornell. Haflett said WebEx has various platforms including “simple desktop sharing, sharing with audio or video and training videos.”

While WebEx doesn’t allow the students to see his or her professor’s face, it avoids the issues of poor video connections, which Haflett acknowledged as a problem with some Skype video lectures.

Haflett said he hasn’t seen any issues in the functionality of the program so far.

Students use the microphones on their computer to respond to the professor’s questions, said Angela Gonzales, an associate professor of sociology at

Cornell. The program mimics the classroom experience of raising their hand for a question by allowing students to click a hand button on WebEx, which notifies the professor that they have a comment or question, she said.

Gonzales taught through WebEx for three classes when she was away for a week and a half, she said.

“For me, it was an incredibly positive experience,” Gonzales said. “In the past I’d schedule a film or have a guest speaker or the TA fill in, but now I have complete control with how I wanted the class to go and could stick with my semester plan.”

Though the program is online, professors still have the ability to monitor attendance, she said.

“I was pleasantly surprised because as host of what I refer to as my webinar, I am able to see exactly who is logged in and what the class count is,” Gonzales said. “My first time using it only one student was missing, the second time only two were, which isn’t too different from lecture because on any given day three could be gone.”

While WebEx allows professors to continue running their own classroom from afar, Haflett said his department hasn’t seen a large switch to WebEx. But for Gonzales, WebEx was her best option. Although the lecture experience through the Internet was quite different, Gonzales said she maintained engagement with her students.

“The classroom setting is much more interactive. The students can see me and I can read their body language when waiting for responses,” Gonzales said. “I don’t have this ability now.” mqmistry@syr.edu

The Supreme Court in Liberia demanded that FrontPage Africa be discontinued, both in print and digital form; that Sieh apologize to the accused minister and for him to pay for the prosecution’s legal fees. This, on top of the $1.5 million Sieh was fined for being found guilty, Harper said.

“It stops the issue of getting up and not having your seat when you return,” he said.

Ben Glidden, president of Otto’s Army, said he thinks the assigned seating will not faze fans.

Harper said, where people make on average $1 per day and reporters make $30 or $50 a month.

In September, Roy Gutterman, director of the Tully Center for Free Speech, participated in a summit in New York with the president of Liberia, her delegates, Sieh’s lawyers and members of non-governmental organizations, such as Amnesty International.

“The fact that they’re even having these meetings does at least say they’re serious about certain democratic principles,” Gutterman said.

Last January, Jessica Suarez, a graduate student in the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications, worked with Sieh and other

FrontPage Africa writers when she and several other students accompanied Harper to Liberia. Since finding out about his imprisonment, Suarez and other students have created a video outlining ways students can become informed of the misconduct in Sieh’s trial.

“Through his leadership and influence, stories that were previously untold in the country are being brought to the forefront (particularly stories related to social issues affecting women and children),” Suarez said in an email. “We take for granted the freedom of the press in our own country and it is our responsibility to promote this right across the world.”

Though Sieh could still return to prison, Harper said he feels the uproar caused after Sieh’s incarceration is enough to propel legal action. Even with this potential progress, Harper said, the controversy around Sieh illustrates a deeper difficulty for Liberians to fight corruption.

“Journalism there isn’t respected, it’s always been viewed as a mouthpiece of a senator or, a rich warlord, or whomever,” Harper said. “It’s going to take a long time, generations, for real storytelling to happen, for people to be held accountable for their deeds.”

said in an email. The locks are available at the Technology Assistance Desk on the first floor and at tables throughout the library with installed anchors where the cable locks may be used, he said. SU Libraries and DPS are currently looking for more tables to install additional anchors.

Though the library has offered the cable locks for several years, House said few students have used them, and students still tend to often leave their laptops unattended.

“I like to leave my stuff, I’ll admit. I’ve actually left the library while my stuff is there to get something from my car. I’ll just look for

someone who looks trustworthy to watch it,” said Marisa DeSalvo, an undeclared sophomore in the College of Arts and Sciences.

Like DeSalvo, Allen Osaheni, a graduate student in mechanical engineering, said he also depends on other students nearby for his laptop’s security.

“I try not to be away from my laptop too long, and make sure there is someone close by to watch it for me,” Osaheni said.

Osaheni said the library should raise awareness about the risk of thefts, especially of laptops, since he said he was unaware of the issue himself.

Thompson, the investigations and crime prevention commander, said DPS has been trying to educate students on how easily their laptops can be stolen, including new ways to inform them on campus.

“We are working with students from several classes in Newhouse who are creating 30-second videos to raise awareness about various issues of public and personal safety,” he said. Thompson elaborated that these videos may be seen in residence halls, in the library and on DPS’ website once they are completed.

Orange Madness allows fans to get a “first look” at the basketball team, which is a big deal for the community, he said. Most fans see the event as a privilege, he said.

“If they have to sit in an assigned seat to see them in their first practice, then so be it,” Glidden said.

Glidden said fans that come to the Dome for regular sporting events are also used to assigned seating so there shouldn’t be much

opposition, he said. The assigned seating will make attendees more aware that it is a basketball event, so they should “treat it as such,” he said.

Since there won’t be as much moving around, Glidden said, the event should have improved security. He added that he doesn’t expect anything similar to last year to happen again this year.

As far as attendance, Glidden said he expects

student turnout to remain the same. He said fans will likely be more upset about the fact that rapper Ace Hood was pulled from the event by SU Athletics.

“It’s an unfortunate thing that it happened, but we have really respectful fans who love our team who aren’t going to risk this event being taken away,” Glidden said. “We’ll move forward and have a great event.”

O’ROURKE FROM PAGE 1

“There was never a doubt in my mind that she would get it,” she said. “She has a clear vision and she’s totally committed to honoring the victims of Pan Am 103.”

As soon as Fergus Barrie, a Lockerbie Scholar in 2011-2012, landed in America, O’Rourke was there at the airport to welcome him and bring him to her home for dinner.

“She’s dealt with the scholars now for 24 years, and every year all the scholars say the same thing, where they all feel she’s great,” he said.

Callum Johnstone, a 2013-2014 Lockerbie Scholar, also met O’Rourke when she picked him up at the Syracuse airport. “She gave me a big hug and welcomed me to America,” he said in an email. When Johnstone’s family came to Syracuse to visit this week, O’Rourke “generously offered them a stay in her home too,” Johnstone said.

“Coping with many of us Scots is no easy task but she makes sure she does her best. Considering she has been doing this for over 20 years says something about her commitment to us ‘Lockerbies,’” he said, referring to the scholars.

But it isn’t just Lockerbie Scholars for whom O’Rourke goes above and beyond.

Eileen Monetti met O’Rourke shortly after losing her son Rick, a junior studying journalism at SU, to the Pan Am Flight 103 tragedy.

Years later, O’Rourke was there for the Monetti family when their daughter had to leave SU during her sophomore year. As the Monettis struggled to transfer their daughter’s credits, O’Rourke went to her professor and found out how to remove an “incomplete” from her record.

“She’s always been so willing to put herself out there to do anything that the families have

o c t ober 17, 2 013

suggested,” said Monetti. “She really went out of her way for all the families.”

The Victims of Pan Am Flight 103, a group “committed to seeking the truth about this tragedy and keeping the memory of our loved ones alive,” according to their website, gave O’Rourke its “Keeping the Spirit Alive Award” a few years ago. But Monetti says she still wishes O’Rourke could be recognized more.

“I only wish that in the United States we had an award that we could give her,” she said. “Our organization’s given her an award, but I mean something that our U.S. government could do to recognize everything that she has done for victims of terrorism.”

Since the Pan Am tragedy, O’Rourke has supported those involved, whether they’re Remembrance Scholars, family members to the victim, Lockerbie natives or SU community members.

“What I hope I am able to do for SU students, the Lockerbie Scholars, and even the Pan Am families is to try to listen to their concerns, their goals, and their ideas and try to assist them to find ways to achieve them,” O’Rourke said in an email.

Remembrance Week changes year to year, O’Rourke said, based on input from Remembrance Scholars. Last year, for example, the scholars started a new tradition: placing 35 chairs on the quad, resembling the seats of the 35 victims on the flight. Written on the chairs are testimonials of what students have done to make the world a better place, from small acts of kindness to larger commitments.

“The whole idea is what are you doing to do good, to do better, and so that sort of embodies the whole idea of Remembrance Week: we remember and we act,” she said.

Jeannine Boulanger, the mother of Pan Am Flight 103 victim Nicole Boulanger, said she was “delighted” when she heard O’Rourke would be receiving an Order of the British

Empire. She said that at the meeting of victims’ families during Remembrance Week, O’Rourke received a standing ovation.

Boulanger praised O’Rourke’s skill as a communicator. She said O’Rourke is known as a good listener, someone who will answer an email immediately and an important link between the university and the families of victims.

Boulanger came to Syracuse for Remembrance Week this year for the first time in several years.

“I was in a place where it just made me feel sadder when we went to the university,” she said.

But she was surprised, she said, that despite the fact no current Remembrance Scholars knew any of the victims of Pan Am Flight 103, the students involved in remembrance were truly

moved by their research on the victims.

“Some of them were in tears,” she said. “It was really a heartfelt experience.”

O’Rourke’s work of sharing her experiences with the victims with current SU students is a crucial part of her work as a communicator, Boulanger said. She added that O’Rourke’s ability to instill current Remembrance Scholars with her personal knowledge of the victims is just short of miraculous.

“I think she was the angel that came to us,” Boulanger said. “We have had many gifts during the 25 years — gifts of friendship, gifts of communication, gifts of every possible kind — and I think Judy was by far one of those gifts.

She truly got it.” mmcregan@syr.edu

chairman of the Coalition Against Gambling in New York, argued against the proposition.

In his opening remarks, Pokalsky said casino gaming would add to the economic development of Upstate New York, including jobs with salaries averaging $30,000-$35,000 a year.

“It’s not the only thing that the Upstate economy needs, but it’s something that will bring jobs to New York State and Upstate New York and other places that need it,” he said.

Baez brought his personal life into the debate. His parents immigrated to the United States in 1915 and worked at hotel casinos.

While they may not have had the best jobs in the world, Baez said, they still were able to raise six kids. He said he attributes his parents’ jobs at casinos to where he is today.

He then used Sullivan County, a region 30

minutes east of Syracuse, as an example to argue for expanding casino gambling. He said the county had not seen job growth in the past 30 years, and passing this referendum would change that. “[This] will introduce a thousand jobs in phase one,” he said. “A thousand jobs would completely change our job landscape overnight.”

However, Blankenhorn said these numbers are like political campaign promises, in the sense that they are meaningless.

“It grows the economy, the flowers bloom,” he said sarcastically. “No, no, no, no!”

Blankenhorn argued that unlike other industries, casinos do not create a product, and that the only thing that happens in a casino is that people lose money.

Meanwhile, Shafer said there are hidden socioeconomic costs that cannot be given a dollar value, such as divorce and psychological issues. He said nearly all of these costs go to problem gamblers.

“About half the revenue of the average casino comes from problem gamblers who make up 10 percent of past year casino users,” he said.

Shafer called problem gambling “an epidemic,” saying that the goal should be to eradicate it.

“Everywhere you look in the United States, gambling is epidemic,” he said. “If we create a thousands jobs, we are also creating that many addicts.”

While the debate became heated as the two sides tried to get their points across, Reeher said after the debate that he was not worried about the situation getting out of control.

Elaine Walter, a resident of Syracuse, said the debaters were light on facts and figures, but she thinks it is more of an emotional topic.

“Most people are focusing on the gambling issue,” she said. “They’re not focusing on the question of economic development. Economic development is a white elephant. I don’t see building casinos is a true economic development.” ekmeyers@syr.edu

SHUTDOWN FROM PAGE 1

the debt ceiling would be raised until Feb. 7, according to the article.

President Barack Obama signed the bill early Thursday morning, hours after Congress had approved it.

Before the vote reached the House, Republicans did not plan on blocking the bipartisan agreement because of the tax consequences that would happen as a result, according to a press release from Speaker of the House John Boehner (R-OH).

“In addition to the risk of default, doing so would open the door for the Democratic majority in Washington to raise taxes again on the American people,” he said in the release. “With our nation’s economy still struggling under years of the president’s policies, raising taxes is not a viable option.”

He said the Republican Party will continue to attempt ending Obama’s health care law in other venues.

By moving the deadline, government has just “delayed the inevitable,” said Zachary Weiss, the director of communications for the College Republicans.

“This is just kicking the ball further down the road, and the ball is being deflated as it goes down,” he said, describing the agreement as a temporary solution.

Christopher Leist, the College Democrats president, said he was glad an agreement had been reached, as the economic consequences would’ve been major.

“It would have been catastrophic for both the American economy as well as the global economy. The U.S. has never defaulted on its debt and there’s no reason why we should,” he said. “We’re pleased the Senate Republicans have finally come to their senses and agreed to end a two-and-a-half week shutdown that served no purposes.”

He added that he hopes Republicans have learned from this experience that a government shutdown is not what the American people want, and also hopes the same conflict doesn’t arise by Feb. 7, the date to which the debt deadline has been moved.

But Robert McClure, a professor of political science and public affairs at Syracuse University’s Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs, said it’s likely the conflict will arise again, adding that the two parties will not be able to reach an agreement.

“We’re going to continue haggling, trying to find a longer-term solution,” he said.

“There’s going to be more bargaining. This is what democracy is, it’s messy.”

McClure added that the Republican Party took a majority of the consequences of both the shutdown and the agreement.

Weiss, of the College Republicans, also felt the agreement was a loss for the party.

“If we didn’t reach our goal of removing Obamacare in some degree, it is a bit of a loss for us in some degree, which I hate to say,” he said. “But it is our overall goal we want to reach, so we’re going to keep fighting.”

McClure said although an agreement has been reached, the damage has already been done across the board — with Democrats, Republicans and the entire nation suffering its effects.

The shutdown and near-default have also hurt the government on a global scale, he said.

“Everybody’s paying a price, you and I are paying a price, the government’s trustworthiness is paying a price, and that price has consequences in the long terms,” McClure said. “America will be seen as a less trustworthy and more dysfunctional nation by other nations who have to deal with us.” alng@syr.edu

STAFF WRITER

tudents looking for a break from studying stopped by Goldstein Auditorium last night for a night filled with comedy.

Syracuse University welcomed “Saturday Night Live” cast members Kate McKinnon and Vanessa Bayer on Wednesday as part of University Union’s first performing arts event of the year. Chloe Quakenbush, UU’s performing arts

director, said she was excited about the opportunity to host female comedians after bringing in Jesse Tyler Ferguson and Seth Meyers last year.

Students started lining up as early as 5:30 p.m. for the 8 p.m. show. By the time the doors opened, two circles of students wrapped around the Schine Student Center lobby.

“I got there at 7:45, and I thought I was early,” said Molly Joyce, a

freshman social studies major. “It was mobbed.”

Opening for McKinnon and Bayer was Nick Vatterott, a comedian whose work has been featured on “Conan” and “Late Night with Jimmy Fallon.” Despite a shaky start, Vatterott told amusing anecdotes about Canadian money and accidentally walking into the wrong store.

Vatterott’s most well-received sequence came from sharing his

experiences of living in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, a neighborhood known for its hipster culture.

He made fun of restaurants in the area, saying, “All the little breakfast places have pretentious names, like ‘Spoon,’ or ‘Mmm.’” His oddball humor was unexpected but enjoyable, as he was able to soften up the crowd for the main performers.

McKinnon was the first of the women to perform, hilariously marching her way onstage to Britney Spears’ “Work B*tch.” Clearly undeterred by performing for a live audience, McKinnon made some well-humored jabs at the Syracuse community, saying, “When I told people I was performing in Syracuse, five people instantly told me that everyone who goes there is from Long Island.”

McKinnon looked back at her own college experience, joking that her nickname was “The Girl Who Goes to Indian Buffets by Herself.” She also shared her ideas

for the worst senior theses. She announced each option with a mock melodramatic tone as she paraded around the stage. The crowd laughed especially loudly at “Gluten Allergies as a Socially

Author to discuss memoir, personal struggles, education

By Vanessa Salman CONTRIBUTING WRITER

From a life of prostitution to earning her doctorate, Elaine Richardson has turned her life around. She went from the brink of death to the brink of success.

“I was on drugs and a prostitute,” said Richardson, a professor of literacy studies at Ohio State University.

RichWhere: Maxwell Auditorium ardson, When: Thursday, 6:30 p.m. author of How much: Free “PHD to Ph.D.: How Education Saved My Life,” will speak at Syracuse University on Thursday at an event meant to share her life experiences.

She will also perform excerpts from her new memoir in a one-woman show format. The event, which is sponsored by the Department of Women’s and Gender Studies, will feature performances, storytelling and music. It is open to the public and will be held in Maxwell Auditorium at 6:30 p.m.

Richardson grew up in an urban area of Cleveland, Ohio, where all of the madness in

Elaine Richardson

her life occurred. After being sexually abused, abusing drugs and engaging in juvenile prostitution, Richardson’s life was headed in a downward spiral.

“I was gonna die,” Richardson said. “I was gonna die or be in prison.”

That was until she found education. It saved her life. With the help of mentors and other supportive figures, Richardson was able to turn her life around and become the woman she is today: a professor and a successful motivational speaker.

Richardson said no matter how difficult or frustrating her life got, perseverance was key, especially for a first-generation college student.

She added that to achieve success, students must put in as much effort and hard work as they possibly can to take something that may seem out of reach and make it a reality.

Steve Parks, the director of graduate studies at SU, had only good things to say about Richardson, his fellow colleague of research in literacy and language politics. Parks’ publishing company, New City Community Press, published Richardson’s latest work.

“I was struck by its power and honesty,”

Parks said in an email. “It’s a brave book — one I’m proud to have published.”

Richardson is the author of three books, and co-author of three more, all discussing African American language patterns. Some of those works include “African American Rhetoric(s): Interdisciplinary Perspectives,” “African American Literacies” and “Hiphop Literacies.”

“Through a powerful personal narrative, Richardson’s book captures the experiences of young adults who struggle to overcome early decisions and build a meaningful life,” Parks said in an email. “In this way, she presents the possibilities in everyone — if we choose to recognize it.”

Parks said Richardson’s demonstration on education can give anyone struggling in life a second chance and can give many students a spark of inspiration. Also, Richardson’s performance and writing could apply to the everyday student who questions whether having an education is ultimately worth the long and difficult journey.

“It could save your life,” Richardson said.

“It’s better than being killed or in prison.”

This event is not specifically geared

toward students who are going down the wrong path, however, as Richardson noted that people from different fields of study could find this topic interesting. She said she plans to connect her own personal life issues with more relatable, everyday issues facing contemporary society.

Richardson said she will be nothing but authentic and true to herself and her past experiences, one of the reasons she said she thinks students may find her performance appealing.

Despite the serious material, this event should not lead to sadness or depression because of the way Richardson performs. Even though it seems like heavy content, Richardson said she performs in a strong, yet lighthearted manner. If anything, the audience will leave feeling uplifted, inspired and even humored, Richardson said.

Parks described Richardson as a powerful performer, so audiences will definitely be entertained, as she has many stories to share.

Said Parks: “We can sometimes get a bit jaded about the power of education to change lives, but her story demonstrates that fact.” vksalman@syr.edu

Practice healthy habits to avoid judgments; thoroughly wash hands after using bathroom

I

t was about 2 a.m., the time between when I eat a midnight snack and a pre-bedtime snack. As I brushed my teeth in my dorm bathroom, pretending like I wouldn’t be eating a cookie in my bed 20 minutes later, my eyes started to wander.

I saw a cockroach scurry across the floor, which I attempted to crush with my foot. Alas, it was all in vain, because either I’m as weak as a baby who never goes to the gym, or because that cockroach had Superman strength mixed with the fortitude of a baby who actually does go to the gym.

Then I heard a flush, and one of my floor mates emerged after finishing his business in the bathroom — you know, the bathroom kind of business. I don’t make it a habit of mine, but I accidentally made weird eye contact with him.

I quickly looked away. He then proceeded to not wash his hands.

Let that sink into your brain like the waste follicles that are slowly sinking into his skin.

Now, I love to complain. I complain about

CHRISTIAN UNKENHOLZ

that guy everything I possibly can. If your shirt’s too bright, I complain that it’s screaming at me. If you’re smacking your lips loudly, know that I will complain about you when I get out of earshot. Essentially, I’m the perfect combination of an old man and a teenage girl, equal parts grumpiness and cattiness.

And yes, often my tirades are unjustified. I know that I’ll never rid the world of loud talkers or people that express their love for the movie “Shark Tale.” For the record, it’s a lesser “Finding Nemo” whose only cultural footprint should be that carwash song. But the simple act of washing your hands after going to the bathroom

is an area where I need to take a stand.

I’ve watched enough Discovery Channel to know urine is essentially sterile — hence the many reality shows featuring men drinking said waste product. But that’s a personal choice to indulge in and probably something to keep secret, lest you get to R. Kelly status.

OK, maybe that wasn’t the best example.

But I thought, in my heart of hearts, that America’s educational system was covering this in school. What do people think the sinks in the bathroom are for? Are they simply afraid of discovering a “Chamber of Secrets” style dungeon?

To make it even worse, my hygiene enemy, whom I’ve nicknamed “McPee Hands,” doesn’t even wash his hands after he does the other option in the toilet. And he’s not the only one.

He’s definitely the most frequent offender, but the fact that there are so many people who aren’t afraid of the possibilities of pink eye — or worse — is horrifying.

A day passed, and I again found myself

between midnight snack (pie) and prebedtime snack (more pie). Then, like déjà vu, McPee Hands walked into the room. As always, he finished his business and refused to abide by hygiene norms that even Taco Bell workers follow.

I made the snap decision to ask McPee Hands if he knew why the sinks only had hot water.

McPee Hands walked over to the sink and ran his hands under the faucet. He concluded that he didn’t know what I was talking about.

Victory was mine. Yeah, it was a minor victory in my overall crusade for people to act at the most basic levels of human decency. But it still felt good.

The next morning, I entered the bathroom like a king, only to be greeted with vomit in the sink. And so a new battle begins.

Buffalo, NY brewery produces Southern Tier 2XIPA, 2XStout, exceeds expectations

By Avery Hartmans

BEER BITES

n unexpected yet wonderful phenomenon has occurred since becoming the Beer Bites columnist: All my friends want to give me beer. All the time.

I discovered this last weekend when I went home to Buffalo, NY. Buffalonians, or at least the ones I know, seem to be having a love affair with Southern Tier Brewing Company right now, which explains why I was gifted four different varieties of it in a matter of two days.

Southern Tier’s brewery is about one and a half hours south of Buffalo, so about three and a half hours from Syracuse. Phineas DeMink and Allen “Skip” Yahn, two regular guys who just really seem to love craft beer, founded the brewery in 2002.

Fast-forward 11 years and Southern Tier is available nationally — and globally — and I’m proud to see that a (basically) Buffalo-born beer is so popular. Also, I totally saw Piper’s brother in “Orange Is the New Black” sipping a Southern Tier India Pale Ale in one episode, so it must be cool.

So I hope everyone likes Southern Tier, because I have a few more varieties — in 22-ounce bottles, no less — to try in the coming weeks. The two I did manage to drink during the weekend were the 2XIPA and the 2XStout, two of the year-round standards.

You may be curious why I, a total novice when it comes to India Pale Ales, thought I could take on a double IPA. Honestly, it had to do with some coercing on my dad’s part (read: taunting) and the feeling that if my parents

are encouraging day drinking before Sunday dinner, I should probably take advantage of the opportunity.

After a few sips, I was happy I tried it. Sure, it’s brewed with four different varieties of hops, for what Southern Tier calls a “feverishly hoppy” experience, and yes, the ABV is 8.2 percent. All in all, I was in over my head.

But I was able to appreciate the subtleties of the beer. The hops were kind of citrusy and fruity, and there was just a slight hint of bitter grapefruit. All around, this beer was extraordinarily bitter, but thirst quenching, and I was able to down my baby-sized glass without too much wincing.

Next up was the 2XStout. Believe it or not, I’ve been a big fan of stouts ever since I had my first Guinness. They’re rich and flavorful like an IPA without the bitterness, plus they taste like dessert — think chocolaty malts and the taste of roasted coffee infused in a beer.

Southern Tier’s double stout was definitely one I’ll drink again. The beer contains lactose, which — as anyone who passed 10th grade biology or pops Lactaid like candy can tell you — is a sugar derived from milk. This beer is thick, dark and sweet, and it almost felt like I was drinking something good for my body (I wasn’t).

But now that I’m such a fan of Southern Tier, I’m disappointed I only have two more kinds to try. So if any of my friends want to give me more beer, I wouldn’t be mad about it.

impressions of Penelope Cruz. She recreated many of Cruz’s commercials with a f lawless Spanish accent.

Shortly after, Bayer came onstage.

Bayer, who is in the midst of her fourth season on “Saturday Night Live,” started her segment by talking about her college experiences. Though originally a biology major, Bayer said she knew she wanted to be on television one day, so she decided to pursue communications instead.

Much of the strength of Bayer’s performance came from her impressions, as she was able to really dive into the characters

“How many lives have to be ruined so that Ross and Rachel can be together?”

Vanessa Bayer

“SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE” COMEDIENNE

she was portraying, however specific. One of her first sets was imitating kids she counseled at sleep-away camp. Bayer perfectly captured the inf lections and attitudes of one girl who was dying to be an actress, and delivered lines from “Peter Pan,” “Julius Caesar” and “A Few Good Men.” Soon, Bayer delved into her now-famous Miley Cyrus impression, poking fun at both the singer and Syracuse, saying, “Your mascot’s a fruit, and that’s pretty trippy.” Unsurprisingly, this moment was a fan favorite.

The most in-depth portion of Bayer’s performance came when she dissected the characters of the classic sitcom “Friends,” and what it would be like to star as a guest girlfriend going on a date with Ross. Bayer won a massive amount of laughs for her impressions of Jennifer Aniston as Rachel, Courteney Cox as Monica and Lisa Kudrow as Phoebe. The skit lasted about five minutes and had the still-eager crowd laughing throughout, as she finally asked the crowd, “How many lives have to be ruined so that Ross and Rachel can be together?”

For the final segment of the performance, McKinnon and Bayer teamed up to portray overbearing moms and asked for volunteers from the audience. Originally, they had asked for the two students to be a romantic couple, but ran with it when they realized the volunteers chosen were not. Even though they were thrown off of their game, asking each other if the skit would still work, McKinnon and Bayer’s chemistry onstage and ability to synchronize movements made up for their lack of a plan.

McKinnon’s stand-up approach was more energetic and in your face, while Bayer’s was more subtle and focused, but the contrasting styles complemented each other.

Despite the packed crowd and long wait to get seats, students had nothing but positive things to say about the show. Junior in the College of Arts and Sciences Jaylyn Noble, a longtime “Saturday Night Live” fan, was happy that McKinnon and Bayer’s work got more exposure.

“It’ll make me appreciate them even more,” Noble said. “I was dying laughing; I would most definitely see them again.” vtloncto@syr.edu

Fifth annual Salt Market returns to Syracuse with new location, vendors

Live music, mouthwatering food and more than 40 vendors proudly displaying their oneof-a-kind artwork: This is a festival you won’t want to miss.

Syracuse will welcome the fifth annual Salt Market from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday at 499 S. Warren St. for a $2 entrance fee. And while the location changes from year to year, Salt Market co-director Courtney Rile said the feeling of the festival is always the same: “fun and funky.”

“Even if you’re not looking for anything, it’s a great place to hang out and walk around,” Rile said.

Local favorites like Strong Hearts Cafe, Recess Coffee House & Roastery and Roji Tea Lounge will be open for attendees to sample a vegan pizza or nurse a Nutella Cappuccino while browsing artwork and listening to music from five live bands playing throughout the afternoon.

Regional artists will offer everything from pottery to handmade soaps. This year, the Salt Market will have 18 new vendors.

The remaining vendors are no strangers to the market. Some are back for their fourth year, like Marisa Krol of Interstellar Love Craft. Others have been attending even longer. Krol makes metal jewelry that she describes as “urban chic

meets industrial rustic.”

“This is my favorite show of the year,” Krol said. “The atmosphere is just so cozy, warm and welcoming.”

In addition to showcasing the talents of regional artists, the Salt Market brings attention to Syracuse neighborhoods, like the East and South sides, which otherwise may not see much foot traffic.

Vacant storefronts are transformed for the festival and tend to be used afterward as well. Much of the West Side of Syracuse has been successfully renovated largely thanks to the Salt Market.

This year, vendors will be spread across two spaces: an old boat dealer shop and an old bank.

Referred to as “the boat space and the bank space,” Rile said the creative ways in which these areas have been transformed is an incredible sight in itself. Not only does this restoration add to downtown Syracuse’s urban shopping scene, it also reflects the character of the creative minds that inhabit the Syracuse community.

The first 50 attendees this Saturday will receive a free limited edition Salt Market tote bag. Whether you use this bag to store a new hand-painted sign or some vegan cupcakes to bring back to your dorm, one thing is certain: By simply being there, you have helped revive Syracuse’s community. okrupski@syr.edu

Celebrate Halloween early this year with a trip to the Rosamond Gifford Zoo. For this kid-friendly event, the zoo will be decked out in spooky Halloween decorations and kids of all ages are encouraged to arrive in costume. Zoo Boo will feature events geared toward children, including a photo op with the 1,102.5pound Great Pumpkin, a Zoo Boo dance party and plenty of opportunities to see the animals.

Broadway’s Sutton Foster to perform, conduct workshop

By Kristin Ross FEATURE EDITOR

When Broadway stars come to visit, theater lovers are going to be starstruck. But when Broadway stars offer master classes with students, it’s hard to sit still.

Coming to campus as the second performer of five Where: Goldstein Auditorium in the When: Oct. 19, 8 p.m.

P u lse How much: $5 for students, $16 P e r for staff, faculty, alumni; $20 for forming general admission A r t s Series, Sutton Foster will be putting on the

Sutton Foster

ritz as she shares her Broadway talents center stage at 8 p.m. on Saturday in Goldstein Auditorium. Tickets are available at the Schine Box Office for $5 for students, $16 for faculty, staff or alumni and $20 for the general public.

Before Foster was a household name, she graced the coveted Broadway stage in “The Will Rogers Follies,” “Grease,” “The Scarlet Pimpernel,” “Annie” and “Les Misérables.” Then, in 2002, she was cast as Millie Dillmount in “Thoroughly Modern Millie,” a sassy role that earned her the Tony Award for Best Performance by a Leading Actress.

The Pulse Student Advisory Board, made

up of about eight students, is in charge of recommending and deciding which artists to bring to Syracuse University throughout the school year. Courtney Jones oversees the board and said Foster has been on its radar for the past few seasons. Jones said when the board applies for its annual funding, it ranks its top performer choices based on the question: “In an ideal season, what would that include?”

“Sutton was at the top of everyone’s list.

It was like, if we only had one person come all season, what would be our first choice?” said Jones, assistant director in the Office of Student Activities in the Division of Student Affairs.

To date, Sutton has performed in 10 Broadway shows, originating lead roles in “The Drowsy Chaperone,” “Little Women,” “Young Frankenstein” and “Shrek the Musical.” Her latest show-stopping performance was as the lead in the revival of “Anything Goes.”

But she strayed away from the main stage for a while to perfect a new superstar power: as the dance instructor in ABC Family’s series “Bunheads,” created by Amy Sherman Palladino.

Foster also has her hands in education.

Since receiving an honorary doctorate degree from Ball State University in 2011, she has held a regular position as an instructor in the university’s Department of Theatre and Dance.

The current Pulse season was planned by

last year’s student board. So although the current board is finalizing the program for the next school year, they will also be staffing the current season’s events.

One aspect of Pulse that Jones and the Student Advisory Board credit as unmatched within the Syracuse community is the caliber of performing artists that the organization works to bring in. Plus, the artists are often willing to make their visits at SU more inclusive than just the concert.

Foster, for instance, is holding a closed workshop for students involved in recognized drama and performance organizations that aren’t necessarily studying the arts as their majors.

“She was all about spending time with students,” Jones said. “She’s cool because she’s younger, and I think that makes her feel more approachable.”

Getting critiqued by a powerhouse Broadway diva is undoubtedly nerve-wracking for the lucky select students who get to hold a master class with Foster, but Jones said it’s an opportunity of a lifetime — so find a way to calm those nerves.

For those less lucky to get one-on-one time with Foster, the Saturday evening concert does not have assigned seating for tickets, so line up outside the Goldstein Auditorium doors early to snag a front row seat. klross01@syr.edu @kriskross22

MEN’S SOCCER

Hilliard returns from injury to bolster Orange

By Phil D’Abbraccio ASST. COPY EDITOR

Alex Bono was in trouble. A North Carolina State cross was dangerously close to leading to a goal.

The Syracuse goalkeeper couldn’t make a play on the pass, and the Wolfpack had a player wide open at the back post. A tap-in was all he needed to do to put NC State on the board on Oct. 4.

But defender Tyler Hilliard came out of nowhere, slid across the goal line and cleared the ball away to protect Syracuse’s net.

“He puts his body on the line,” Bono said, “and that’s what we need from the back four.

“He’s a terrific one-on-one defender. He’s quick, he gets up and down the line and that’s what we look for in a right back.”

Due to an injury, Hilliard has only appeared in five of the Orange’s games this season, but his contributions have been greater than that figure implies. The sophomore has made two starts and adds depth to Syracuse’s roster — particularly its back line, which has been plagued with other injuries throughout the past two seasons.

Syracuse (8-4-1, 2-4-1 Atlantic Coast) may look to Hilliard’s services when it travels to Chapel Hill, N.C., for a 6:30 p.m. matchup on Friday with No. 21 North Carolina (4-2-5, 1-1-5).

“I’m one of the guys that’s not necessarily as technical,” Hilliard said, “but I’m one of the guys that will fight and scrap for the team.”

Hilliard was essential to the Orange’s efforts in replacing center back Skylar Thomas, who missed time both last season and this one due to

leg injuries.

Although Ryan Tessler initially started in Thomas’s absence in 2012, Hilliard played 74 minutes to Tessler’s 18 in the first game without Thomas. From then on, Hilliard didn’t sit out a single minute until SU’s Sweet 16 matchup against Georgetown.

The Orange defense, thanks in part to Hilliard’s play, refused to let Thomas’s injury impede the team from the most successful year in program history. Syracuse’s 12 shutouts were the most the school had posted in one season since 1982.

Hilliard even found ways to contribute on the attacking end of the field. He scored a goal in SU’s 2-0 win against DePaul last October, and recorded an assist on the gamewinning goal that advanced the Orange to the second round of the NCAA tournament.

“Tyler’s coming off a very good year last year, when he was called upon,” said head coach Ian McIntyre. “We’re expecting big things from him.

“Unfortunately, he’s had his own injury this year … Skylar and Tyler are a little bit away from being fully fit, but these have been important games and important minutes to kind of get them back in the groove.”

After Hilliard proved his worth as a redshirt freshman a year ago, he said he came into this year expecting to start, but a few “bumps” in the beginning of the year limited his role. He saw just 29 minutes of playing time through Syracuse’s first nine games.

Still, the coaching staff entrusted Hilliard with significant time against Binghamton

on Oct. 1 — while a hamstring injury sidelined Thomas — and then rewarded Hilliard with starts at right back against NC State and Boston College.

“We have great defenders and obviously, it’s a tough thing for Mac to figure out who to play and where to play them,” Hilliard said.

“It meant a great deal that they thought I could go ahead and prove myself on the field, although I hadn’t practiced much and played

“Tyler’s coming off a very good last year, when he was called upon. We’re expecting big things from him.”

much previous to that.”

Against the Wolfpack, Hilliard was constantly active on the defensive end, in addition to his goal-saving heroics. Timely slide tackles and clears helped the Orange cruise to its most dominant victory of the season.

Hilliard didn’t see the field against Pittsburgh on Saturday, but McIntyre knows he has depth at defender in Hilliard.

Said McIntyre: “He’s worked in back slowly, and he’s an important part of what we’re looking to do the rest of the way.” pmdabbra@syr.edu

GEORGIA TECH

FROM PAGE 24

Tech (3-3, 2-2) when Syracuse schleps down south for a 12:30 p.m. showdown Saturday with the Yellow Jackets.

Quarterbacks coach Tim Lester knows Hunt’s game better than anyone, and said there are still specific skills his QB needs to work on.

“Am I happy with the numbers?” Lester said of the NC State game. “No.” When Lester and Hunt met after the NC State game, Lester said Hunt wasn’t satisfied with his performance. NC State’s secondary was far from elite, and Hunt knew he missed plenty of prime opportunities.

“After the game I gave him a hug,” Lester said. “He didn’t feel really good. That’s the way I want him. I want him to expect more out of himself.”

Lester loves talking football, arguably more than any of Syracuse’s coaches. And as he stood with a group of reporters Tuesday night while holding a bottle of Glacier Freeze Gatorade in his right hand, he candidly spoke about SU’s quarterbacks for 21 minutes.

He could have easily gone on for longer.

Lester has been through the good and bad with Hunt. He’s seen Hunt improve considerably, yet he said he’s still often a split-second late on his reads, which inhibits yardage after the catch.

Lester says a split-second is the difference between a wide receiver getting tackled immediately and having a bit of a cushion to break free.

On the second play of the game against NC State, Hunt completed a pass to Jeremiah Kobena for a 7-yard gain. The forward progress was fine, but Lester said it was a 12-yard route. The ball should have been in Kobena’s hands earlier.

Lester said the next step for Hunt is to throw the ball before the receiver looks.

Hunt often waits to make eye contact, but with the speed of ACC linebackers, waiting isn’t good enough.

“I’m my worst critic,” Hunt said.

Hunt and the rest of the quarterbacks sat down with Lester to watch Miami (Fla.) quarterback Stephen Morris on tape. Lester encouraged the SU quarterbacks to look at how early Morris released the ball. The receiver wasn’t even looking when the pass was thrown, yet he went on to score a touchdown.

But when Lester watches the Syracuse quarterbacks, Hunt included, he rarely sees a release as zippy as Morris’.

“I always seem to see it about a halfsecond before them. I’m like, ‘Throw it.

Throw it.’

“And then they go,” he said.

Lester said inexperienced quarterbacks have a tendency to try to boost their completion percentage, which often means their throws don’t create extra yards after the catch.

But what Hunt has lacked with his arm of late, he’s made up for with his legs.

He’s rushed for 253 yards and three rushing touchdowns. He punctuated the win against NC State with a diving plunge into the end zone after a nifty scramble.

When plays collapse, he makes something out of nothing.

“Now teams are going to think we’re running the ball more,” wide receiver Christopher Clark said, “and teams are going to think that we don’t have a pass game, but we really do.” tbhass@syr.edu @TrevorHass

ACC MEDIA DAY

o c t ober 17, 2 013

f loor players run, trying to outscore their opponent with defense falling by the wayside. That made the ACC the best conference in America, too.

As Syracuse, Pittsburgh and Notre Dame move from the Big East to the ACC, things will change for those programs.

“The ACC is run-and-gun,” SU center Baye Moussa Keita said. “The Big East is like street play, street games.”

The Orange took its first real step into the ACC on Wednesday at the conference’s basketball media day at The Ritz-Carlton Hotel in Charlotte, N.C. A move to the ACC — which now doubles as the best collection of basketball teams in the country, most players say — means new opponents and new venues, but most of all a new style of

play for the Orange, which was ranked No. 2 in the ACC coaches’ preseason poll behind only Duke.

The physicality of the old Big East went hand in hand with its defensive reputation — a status that Syracuse and its vaunted 2-3 zone helped contribute to.

“The difference is, I think, the refs,” Pitt forward Talib Zanna said. “Our refs don’t call fouls, but the ACC — I watch a lot of ACC games — they call a lot of fouls.”

During the NCAA Tournament, an Orange team that underachieved throughout the regular season rallied with the help of its stalwart defense to make a run to the Final Four. It won ugly, but so did everyone else in its old conference.

The ACC, on the other hand, did it pretty.

In highlight-reel fashion, with a barrage of fast breaks and 3-point shooting.

When SU’s slug-it-out zone makes its ACC debut in January, the contrast will never be

greater and Miami (Fla.) — Syracuse’s first conference opponent — will be in for a brandnew test.

“That zone—” Notre Dame guard Jerian Grant said before shaking his head to gather himself. “I feel like it’s really going to run through the ACC a little bit. If you’re not used to that, it’s really tough.”

But two years ago, the zone was more of an afterthought. It’s always the staple of the Orange’s typically elite defense, but in 201112 SU boasted a high-f lying offense. Defense — specifically Fab Melo shot blocks — kickstarted transition and a potent offense.

So the ACC will be a test for SU, too, and a melding of the styles it has found itself able to play.

“It’s definitely going to be different a little bit,” Keita said, “so we’ll have to get used to it.”

but his decision to return left the Orange as the No. 2 preseason team in the conference and

birthday or anniversary.”

A few hours later, Boeheim’s reception was the same as Fair’s. By the time he sat down at his table in the final interview session of the day, the seats were all taken and a blob was forming behind the chair he was set to take.

He started with Tobacco Road memories and talked about the incredible shape that the ACC is taking, but the topic eventually turned to Fair’s decision to return.

“I thought it was really, by far, the smartest decision,” Boeheim said.

He said that Fair still had too much to work on. Fair flashed exceptional ability in both the high and low posts during Syracuse’s NCAA Tournament runs.

Fair was projected as a late first-round pick after last season. His ball handling was ques-

sat alone until two members of the Syracuse media finally took a seat alongside him. He was the forgotten man, despite being from the team everyone seemed to want to learn so much about.

The center doesn’t think the attention’s going to Fair’s head, though, even with hype abound.

“We all get interviewed after the game, so we’re kind of used to it,” Keita said. He was actually even happy with the attention he was getting. “Usually I’m the first one leaving the locker room for a reason.”

Around this same time, Jim Boeheim sat down for an interview on ESPN. Fair nearly left for the NBA after last season’s Final Four run,

“I told my wife it was the biggest day of the year, and not her birthday or anniversary.”

tionable and his jumper still needed some work.

But returning was a risk. NBA scouts view age as a major factor and Fair will be 23 by the time he can make his NBA debut. But he could also surge up draft boards, as Boeheim expects he will, with a strong senior season.

“He’s improved every year,” Boeheim said.

“That’s the goal. We want our guys to get better.”

His role will be different in 2013-14. Boeheim believes his frontcourt is the deepest he’s ever had. Fair’s minutes could dip.

Still, he’s the unquestioned face of the Orange — and his new conference, too. An ACC Player of the Year award could be just the boost his résumé needs to be a lottery pick.

“He’s pretty steady. Comes to play, does his thing,” Boeheim said. “He’s ready to go.” dbwilson@syr.edu

Helter Smelter

Georgia Tech’s leading receiver balances stardom on baseball diamond and gridiron

By Tyler Piccotti STAFF WRITER

Georgia Tech wide receiver DeAndre Smelter once attacked life the same way he attacked opposing hitters on the baseball diamond.

“You just take it one pitch at a time,” Smelter said. “That’s all you can do.”

But once chronic shoulder problems dealt a curveball to the junior’s once-burgeoning baseball career, he began taking things one snap at a time.

Currently the team leader in receptions and receiving yards, Smelter is looking to continue his impressive return to the gridiron ranks when Syracuse (3-3, 1-1 Atlantic Coast) travels to Bobby Dodd Stadium to take on the Yellow Jackets (3-3, 2-2) on Saturday at 12:30 p.m.

Smelter, who prior to the 2013 season hadn’t played football since high school, is still adjusting to life as a college football player following three seasons as a pitcher for Georgia Tech’s varsity baseball team.

“It’s been quite a process, but I’m definitely happy,” he said. “I’ve had success so far, but there’s still room for me to improve.”

During his high school days, it was hard to find any area of his game that needed improvement.

As a star pitcher at Tattnall Square Academy in Macon, Ga., Smelter threw two nohitters and led his team to state championships in 2008 and 2009. He even got to play a game at Wrigley Field in Chicago, which he said was one of the greatest experiences of his life.

On the football field, he was nearly as dominant. Although he saw time at quarterback and running back, Smelter excelled as a wide receiver and safety, setting school records for both interceptions and receiving yards.

He even received offers from Southeastern Conference powerhouses Auburn, Georgia, Louisiana State and South Carolina.

However, Smelter had played baseball since he was 3 years old. It was his first love, and pitching was what he did best.

Professional scouts and college coaches were well aware of it, too.

“He had a fantastic 94-95 mph fastball,” Georgia Tech baseball coach Danny Hall said. “He was comparable to some of the best young pitchers in the game.”

The Minnesota Twins selected Smelter in the 14th round of the 2010 MLB Draft.

“It was a great experience, for me to be put in that position,” Smelter said of draft day. “I was really nervous, but it was great.”

But rather than dart for the pros, Smelter decided to enroll at Georgia Tech and play for Hall. Smelter’s mother, Cora, wanted her

son to have a college education.

And as Hall remembers, she was hell-bent on it.

“Cora told the pro scouts that if, worst case, her son gets a degree from Georgia Tech, that’s a wonderful thing.” Hall said.

“The support from DeAndre’s entire family was tremendous.”

At first, that decision paid off. In addition to starting 15 games in the outfield, Smelter allowed only one run in more than 17 innings as a freshman relief pitcher. He looked like the highly coveted recruit that mowed down hitters at Tattnall Square.

That was before his shoulder began to fail him.

“I just kept putting way too much stress on my labrum,” Smelter said. “I was playing the sport I love, but I wasn’t able to play to the best of my ability. That hurt more than anything.”

His earned-run average ballooned to 8.53 in 2012, and it only dipped to 7.02 this past spring.

After such a promising start, both his fastball and his chances at a baseball career faded. So when the opportunity to suit up for the football team for the next two seasons presented itself, Smelter jumped on it.

Even in Georgia Tech’s famed option

attack, he has caught 14 passes for 211 yards through six games, leaving him well on pace to surpass Orwin Smith’s team-high 288 yards last season.

Head coach Paul Johnson said Smelter’s work ethic is among the best on the team.

“The biggest thing is he’s very coachable.

He listens because he wants to be good,” Johnson said. “DeAndre is becoming more and more a part of our plans. He’s got great ball skills and athleticism.”

Although football is now No. 1 on the agenda, Smelter still plans to take advantage of his final season of baseball eligibility this spring.

Coach Hall said he can’t wait to see how Smelter rebounds from what has been a tumultuous college career thus far.

“As terrific an athlete as he is, he’s an outstanding person,” Hall said. “I’d love to see him have a great bounce-back year.”

Smelter, meanwhile, has learned that if you keep battling back from adversity, another opportunity will always present itself.

He was dealt a curveball, but he didn’t strike out.

“The most important thing is having fun and enjoying the rest of my time here,” he said. “I’m still just taking it one play, one read at a time.” tfpiccot@syr.edu

Orange prepares for daunting task at No. 3 North Carolina

By Austin Mirmina STAFF WRITER

Maddie Iozzi and her Syracuse teammates are looking to make a bold statement when the Orange travels to Chapel Hill, N.C., to face defending national champion North Carolina on Thursday.

“We want to turn heads,” Iozzi said. “We’ve been turning heads all season. If we get a point off UNC, I think we’ll open up so many eyes. It would be huge.”

Syracuse (6-8-1, 2-6-1 Atlantic Coast), who has never before defeated a ranked opponent, will get a crack at rewriting the history books when it faces No. 4 North Carolina (122, 6-2) on Thursday at 2 p.m. and North Carolina State (6-9, 1-8) on Sunday at noon. The Orange enters its Thursday matchup against UNC as a heavy underdog, but the players are out to prove they can play competitively with any team in the league.

Head coach Phil Wheddon said a shadow of doubt was cast over the Orange’s season when it joined the ACC. Certainly Syracuse couldn’t be expected to compete with the most talented soccer programs in the country.

But up to this point, the Orange has held its own and proved its doubters wrong.

“I think we’ve been the underdog all year long,” Wheddon said. “No one expected us to even compete in the ACC, and we’ve done well.”

North Carolina is by far the most storied program on SU’s schedule this season. The Tar Heels have won 21-of-31 NCAA national championships and 21-of-26 ACC championships.

Such dominance yields great recruiting, and UNC has plenty of talent to go around.

Senior midfielder Crystal Dunn has scored the second-most goals in the ACC (11) and is the focal point of the Tar Heels’ lethal scoring attack.

But Iozzi said the Orange isn’t intimidated

by UNC’s scoring prowess.

“We noticed that when we play harder teams, we really step it up,” Iozzi said. “I feel like any time we have an opponent that is higher ranked, we always raise our level of play so we can compete.”

SU has been competing against quality ranked opponents all season, which has helped reshape its confidence. Senior midfielder Rachel Blum admitted that the Orange struggled to assimilate to the ACC, stumbling over fundamental obstacles such as ball movement and decision-making.

“Going into the ACC was obviously a hard transition for us, because we were so unsure,” Blum said. “Our first game against (Virginia), they were a great team. So I think we are prepared for what is to come.”

Blum also points to the Duke game as a key moment when players started to realize they

“We played some hard teams right in the beginning, and it really got us into the mix of the ACC,” Blum said. “We’ve been in every game.”

The Orange has also been practicing with four members of the men’s club soccer team, a strategy implemented by Wheddon to expose his players to the physicality and quickness that SU will see against North Carolina.

Wheddon hopes that SU has learned from its mistakes and continues to climb the ACC

standings. The Orange is hitting its stride after winning two of its last three games.

That momentum could lead to a monumental upset.

“UNC is a storybook team, even getting a point off them would be something to talk about for sure,” Wheddon said. “If we were to tie them, that would be an enormous accomplishment for the team…

“I think it would be something that goes down in the record books.” awmirmin@syr.edu

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — By the time C.J. Fair finally stepped into the ballroom at The Ritz-Carlton Hotel in Charlotte, N.C., a crowd had already formed by his placard.

Television cameras set up from the opposite side of the table where his nameplate, garnished with a fresh Atlantic Coast Conference logo, stood.

The questions ranged from the general to the specific, but all were repetitive.

What’s it like being the newcomer to the conference, and to be a candidate for that league’s player of the year?

“It’s going to be a lot of excitement for

us,” he said. That was his stock answer for the day. “We want to win the ACC and that’s something I can brag about years later.”

The typically soft-spoken small forward was thrust into the spotlight at ACC Media Day on Wednesday as the shiniest new toy in a league full of fresh faces. He spoke hours before he was announced as the ACC Preseason Player of the Year, but as recorders, cameras and notebooks swirled around him, it was clear that he would be one of the league’s main attractions.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — The days of grind-itout, ultra-physical games with scoring in the 40s and 50s are over. The Big East and Atlantic Coast Conferences are two different worlds on the hardwood.

The former is first to 60. Ferocious defense and a slow tempo were hallmarks of the old Big East and made it, at times, the best conference in America. The latter is home to track meets. Up and down the
