hen Posse scholars and mentors gathered at a welcome back event to celebrate the beginning of a new school year, the celebration fell short when Andria Costello Staniec, the Syracuse University Posse liaison, announced cuts to the program next year.

“Everyone started asking a lot of questions on why the program was being cut, but she couldn’t answer the questions, because she was just the messenger,” said Brittany Ortiz, a sophomore and SU Posse scholar from Miami.

The university announced about a month ago that SU would now only provide scholarships for future Posse scholars from Miami and would stop

scholars from Atlanta and Los Angeles.

But following a protest of the decision on Sept. 19, administrators announced they were rethinking the changes and on Monday decided to continue the Atlanta Posse for one more year.

Although the changes will not affect current Posse scholars, the uncertainty surrounding the program has strengthened the Posse community on campus.

“This experience makes us even more motivated to be known on campus and to progress in the community as a whole,” said Ryan Bolton, a Miami Posse scholar and freshman computer science major.

The Posse Foundation, which began in 1989, is a nationally based scholarship program with 51 partner colleges and universities, said Matt Fasciano, chief officer of operations see posse page 8

Officials work to resolve Yom Kippur, football game conflict

By Jen Bundy staff writer

Members of the Syracuse University community are working together to accommodate students in advance of Friday’s football game, which conflicts with Yom Kippur for the second consecutive year.

On Friday, Syracuse will face off against Louisville at 7 p.m. in the Carrier Dome, only a short walk from Hendricks Chapel where services for Yom Kippur will be held.

“Kickoff times for both the football game and Kol Nidre services are essentially the same,” said Zach Goldberg, president of the Hillel Jewish Student Union Board.

Kol Nidre is a specific, soft-spoken service held during Yom Kippur that is one of the most sacred within the Jewish faith, Goldberg said. This is not the first time the SU football schedule has conflicted with the Jewish holidays. Last year the football scheduled overlapped with Yom Kippur as well, Goldberg said.

“I am a little disappointed that this problem arose again this year,” he said After last year’s scheduling conflict, several groups including Hillel at SU, Hendricks Chapel, SU Athletics, Student Association and administrators came together to discuss how to prevent this from happening in the future.

Once it became clear the conflict would occur again, the university and the Athletics Department were involved in helping to accommodate the religious services without disruption.

Small said he provided SU Athletics with a list of the upcoming 2014 Jewish holidays, which prompted the Athletics Department to file a formal accommodation request with the Atlantic Coast Conference.

buffalo bill’s america’s original pumpkin ale

t o day ’ s w e at h e r

Pumpkin ale contains natural mix of spices

By Hannah Redfield staff writer

Come fall, every food product from Pop-Tarts to Pinnacle Vodka gets a new addition to the roster. The invasive flavor sweeps through grocery stores like a forest fire, leaving no aisle unchanged.

Yes, I’m talking about the pumpkin-flavored indulgences that infest shopping markets as soon as the leaves begin to change. Doughnuts, coffee, bread — all three of my essential food groups are subjugated by the horrible, too-sweet pumpkin flavor I have come to detest. I always thought at least beer was safe from the ruthless marketers who corrupt perfectly good food in favor of the classic fall taste.

I was wrong. Since 1985, Buffalo Bill’s Brewing Company has released America’s Original Pumpkin Ale to beer distributors across the country.

This ale, crafted with real pumpkin and natural spice flavors, is available in stores from August to November.

Upon opening this brew, I imme-

diately smelled pumpkin pie and the spices listed on the bottle: cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg. I poured the beer into a glass and watched as its thin, fizzy head quickly dissolved into the amber-colored liquid.

Taking my first sip, I expected to taste artificial pumpkin flavoring.

Instead, I was surprised to find that the beer did not have a very strong pumpkin taste at all. It was very smooth and I only noticed the pumpkin a little bit as I let the beer settle on the back of my tongue.

The barely carbonated brew had a malty flavor and felt heavy in my mouth.

Earthy flavors also came into play as I continued to sip the beer. I found that it was easier to taste the spices than the namesake pumpkin flavor.

For a girl who does not enjoy the pumpkin plague that befalls supermarkets as autumn settles in, America’s Original Pumpkin Ale was a pleasant surprise. This amber ale has just a hint of pumpkin that is outshined by the smooth, natural flavors at the heart of this brew. hwredfie@syr.edu

School enrollment increases

Editor discusses Snowden-leaked documents

By Sara Swann staff writer

When the British government came to The Guardian offices to destroy computers containing documents leaked

by Edward Snowden, editor-in-chief Alan Rusbridger wouldn’t let them.

He had his staff smash the computers themselves.

“Members of the British government watched as we smashed our own computers because I didn’t want them to be the ones doing the smashing,” he said. “Smashing computers is an art form. It’s harder than you think because they were very specific about how to destroy them.”

Rusbridger was given the seventh annual Tully Award for Free Speech for his work in the leaking of the National Security Agency’s surveillance activities by whistleblower Edward Snowden. As the 2014 recipient, Rusbridger answered questions from Roy Gutterman, director of the Tully Center for Free Speech and a professor in the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications, in the Joyce Hergenhan auditorium on Wednesday night in front of more than

100 members of the SU community.

Rusbridger recounted the story of publishing Snowden’s information, starting with when Snowden first contacted Glenn Greenwald, a former writer for The Guardian.

“Snowden didn’t go to The New York Times or the Washington Post or any other mainstream media outlet because he knew that they would sit on the story and the information would never be published,” he said. “He went to Greenwald because he’s not a conventional journalist and Snowden knew he could do the story justice.”

The first 48 hours after Greenwald pitched the story idea was like “speed-dating” because he had to make sure Snowden was who he said he was and had to assess all of the documents, Rusbridger said.

“Snowden is a very articulate man. He talked fluently for five hours about the leaked surveillance, which was very impressive,” he said.

The British government was not happy about the leaked documents and Rusbridger said he was “essentially interrogated” during a parliamentary meeting. In general, the reaction from the British govern-

ment was more severe than from the American government, he said.

“The First Amendment — the words wrapped around this very building — means something to

Americans,” he said. “Free speech is a concept that has been ingrained in the American mind for a very long time, and this is much different from the United Kingdom and the rest of the world.”

During the ceremony, Rusbridger offered words of advice to aspiring journalists. If journalism students want to be employable, they need to partner with engineers and others who know technology. It’s through this type of collaboration that “the most interesting things happen.”

Rusbridger said social media has been the main contributor to the major changes in journalism and said sometimes he wishes he could go back to his youth to experience the “new breed” of journalism.

“One thing is not changing in journalism and that is newspapers.

And I don’t just mean print publications — I mean resilient organizations with professional training standards that when under ferocious attack can defend its standards,” Rusbridger said. “But what is changing about journalism is exciting. I love not knowing exactly where journalism is going.” smswann@syr.edu

The number of students enrolled at the School of Information Studies surpassed 1,400 for the first time this fall.

Sarah Hagelin, the iSchool’s assistant dean of student and faculty service, said the school saw a 17 percent increase in undergraduate and an 8 percent increase in graduate enrollment between fall 2012 and fall 2014. The number includes students both singly enrolled in the iSchool as well as duals.

The total number of students had held steady around 1,200 for the past few years, according to the Office of Institutional Research and Assessment.

The increase in enrollment is a result of intensified undergraduate recruiting, and growth in the information technology field. On campus, the rise in enrollment has led to more selectivity when picking applicants for the iSchool.

ischool at the iSchool, said the college was ready to accommodate the increase of the student body admitted this fall.

“We knew what the projected enrollment would be and we were prepared to handle that in terms of being able to add additional class sections and students’ needs are covered,” Ross said.

The school hired three more faculty members this summer and it secured program managers and part-time advisers in student services in response to the high enrollment. Even as enrollment increases, Hagelin, who is responsible for coordinating how many sections are needed, said the quality of education will not be compromised.

As enrollment increases, so does the college’s selectivity. The entire class has been the strongest academically to date, with an increase of 33 points in the mean SAT score, verbal and math, over last year’s class, according to an SU news release.

Julie Walas Huynh, director of academic advising and student development, said the school has put a lot of emphasis on undergraduate recruitment for the last five years, and welcomes the admission process becoming more selective.

“I think what is really cool now is being able to have the quantity in the interest to get the quality of the students that really we should see here,” Huynh said.

In addition to the school’s active recruiting efforts, Huynh said there has been growth from within SU, with students arriving on campus and discovering an interest in information technology. That, coupled with bright job prospects in the industry, has led to the

increase in enrollment.

The demand for the informational field has been growing. According to a U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics report, employment in the IT sector has grown by 37 percent. The report also forecasts the industry to grow more robustly than other sectors.

Likewise, the iSchool has also attracted

It is kind of like an iterative cycle — we turn out good students and they come back here and get more of them.

J.D. Ross ischool communications director

attention from companies looking to hire.

More than 30 employers attended Monday’s iSchool career event, Ross said. About 500 students participated in the event, a 50 percent increase from the last year.

The placement rate, which shows the number of students who either obtained jobs or advanced to a masters program within six months after graduation, is 94 percent.

“It is kind of like an iterative cycle — we turn out good students and they come back here and get more of them,” Ross said.

Huynh said besides the job demand, the field has become “prevalent and pervasive” in students’ lives, making them eager to learn about the influence of informational technology.

“What we are studying in the informational school is really applicable to the world around us,” Huynh said. ssugiyam@syr.edu

University of Oregon community reacts to controversy over community art class

By Maggie Cregan staff writer

F

liers seeking models for community figure drawing sessions set off a chain of events this fall that culminated in an international media storm and a 16-foot blue heron sculpture wearing a fig leaf.

The University of Oregon has offered free life drawing sessions to the community of Eugene, Oregon for 20 years. Early this September, fliers seeking models appeared around Eugene without the knowledge or permission of the university staffers who facilitate the drawing sessions. The (Eugene, Oregon) Register-Guard reported that local artist and volunteer coordinator for the figure drawing group, Will Mitchell, took responsibility for posting the fliers, unaware that they would be an issue.

But after the fliers appeared, the university began receiving up to 20 calls a day inquiring about the sessions, said Brook Muller, acting dean for the School of Architecture and Applied Arts. He added that some callers made “offcolor” inquiries about the models’ appearance, and that the staff grew “quite concerned” about who might start showing up to the sessions.

The staff’s alarm grew as calls kept coming throughout September, especially since the university has not been able to have a staff member at the figure drawing sessions in recent years due to budget cuts, said Carla Bengtson, head of the art department.

The staff, which already scheduled models and set up their contracts, couldn’t deal with the additional volume of calls, Muller said, considering that the life drawing sessions generate no income. So the university canceled the sessions, due to concerns about the “off-color” calls and budget restrictions.

The decision would prove less than popular.

Muller admitted that the reaction from the community has been “quite negative.” “The community is upset about it,” he said.

illustration by sage cruz field contributing illustrator

The university has received emails citing inflammatory quotes, supposedly from the administration, that Muller claims “are not coming from us.” He stressed that the university’s only motivation “is to ensure a safe environment within the confines of our financial model.”

One of the most recent forms of protest to the decision came on Tuesday, when Jed Turner, a community artist and graduate of UO’s art school, applied a large knitted “fig leaf” to his enormous statue of a blue heron, which was partially commissioned by UO and is situated in the university district. He wanted to protest what he sees as the university’s lack of visibility and consideration for the artists, according to The Register-Guard.

Some of the comments below The Register-Guard’s stories also make it seem like an understatement to call the community’s reaction “quite negative.”

“Maybe to prevent rape and ‘wrong’ thoughts the university should require all females to wear burkas,” a reader with the username Hans-Dieter Honscheid wrote under The Register-Guard’s initial story, following up his comment with a frowning emoticon.

“I’m astounded that the most threatening example UO Arts Admin could come up with was a caller asking ‘What do the models look like?’ What if that person was genuinely inquiring whether there was body-type requirement to model for the artists??” wrote Turner on the Register-Guard’s follow-up story. “The UO Arts Administrations (sic) unwillingness to explain, discuss or reconsider this decision is dumbfounding. I would send back my degree if I could find it.”

Bengtson, the head of UO’s art department, said the university’s reasons for canceling the sessions have been misrepresented in the

media coverage of this event, which include stories in publications as far-flung as the United Kingdom’s Daily Mail.

The Register-Guard’s first story quotes Mitchell as saying that he had a meeting with Bengtson in which she expressed concerns about the models being “exhibitionist” or the artists behaving inappropriately. But Bengtson said she never expressed those opinions.

“We did not cancel the courses out of any concerns about prudishness, any feeling of the need to censor what was happening,” she said. “We simply were concerned about our ability to create a safe environment for participants moving forward.”

Bengtson added that she doesn’t know how the cancellation of figure drawing sessions attended by a few dozen people became the focus of the international media. “The whole thing has been blown out of proportion,” she said. mmcregan@syr.edu

Grocery stores should focus on selling niche products online

O

nline grocery shopping hasn’t really caught on yet and I’m not sure if it ever will. Food companies have the right idea by trying to modernize the massive grocery industry, but it may be time to change the approach.

Instead of attempting to overtake brick-andmortar grocery stores, vendors should focus on selling specialty products exclusively online to attract new customers and add extra revenue.

Coca-Cola laid the blueprint on Sept. 22 when it reintroduced Surge, its popular drink from the ‘90s that was discontinued in 2001. Thanks to a Facebook group with over 128,000 followers lobbying for Surge’s return, Coke released a limited amount of 16-ounce cans exclusively on Amazon.

This was Coca-Cola’s first product distributed solely through e-commerce but it might not be its last.

“If expectations are met, this may be only the first of a variety of efforts we explore to launch niche products through e-commerce relationships,” said Wendy Clark, president of Coca-Cola North America’s strategic marketing in Sept. 15 coca-colacompany.com article.

It’s time for the food e-commerce industry to think a little smaller to increase its online profits.

According to Business Insider, food and beverage is by far the largest retail category in the U.S. at $600 billion per year, yet only 1 percent of that business occurs online.

That same Sept. 24 Business Insider article states that more adults are willing to purchase a “specialty” item that’s hard to find in the stores,

AARICK KNIGHTON AN URBAN LOOK AT TECHNOLOGY

rather than just general groceries online. Consumers aren’t against buying all food online, just certain foods.

Vendors need to realize that grocery is one of the few industries that doesn’t translate well to the Internet, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t any opportunities for food sales online.

Like Coca-Cola did with Surge, other companies should use the same strategy and reserve some of their fan favorites for online buyers only. Taking a go-to item off the store shelves might cause some customer service backlash. If done tastefully though, with throwback or limited edition designs and flavors, vendors could help out their online sales and simultaneously attract new buyers.

I’ll stick to buying my fruits and veggies from local stores, but there is definitely a bright future for niche products in e-commerce. The entire grocery industry now waits and watches, hoping that consumers get used to the idea of placing food and drinks in their online shopping carts in addition to the real ones.

Posse program changes were warranted The cuts Syracuse University recently made to the Posse program were reasonable considering that fact, but the university made the right decision in revisiting the changes they made after a student protest.

The national program provides full tuition college scholarships to high school students. Currently, SU is one of three schools in the country that supports three Posse programs.

But earlier this month, SU announced it would only provide scholarships to future Posse scholars from Miami, and stop programs in Atlanta and Los Angeles.

This was met with a student led protest on Sept. 19. Following the protest, the university announced it would revise the changes made to the

Posse program and announced the revisions on Monday.

According to a university official, money saved by cutting from the Posse program would be put toward other forms of financial aid, including merit and need-based financial aid. Re-evaluating where its money is allocated was the right decision for the university to make, especially because the money saved will still benefit students in need.

One of the university’s reasons for not choosing to reinstate the Los Angeles Posse was due to the significant resources SU already has in Los Angeles. It was smart for the university to re-evaluate its involvement in the Posse program to avoid overlapping resources, and instead

choosing to focus on an area where the university’s presence is lacking.

The university had no obligation to reconsider these changes, but SU made the right move in listening to student voices and reconsidering its decision. It exhibits a growth in communication between students and the administration. This growth could continue if the university ensures it will consider student feedback even when it is not in the form of a protest.

The Posse program is valuable for SU, but the cuts the university made were warranted. Moving forward, SU should continue to make cuts where necessary, but it should value and respond to all instances of student input.

CoverGirl should not sponsor NFL in light of domestic abuse issues

A

dele Stan, senior digital editor of liberal magazine The American Prospect, has taken a stand against CoverGirl’s sponsorship of the NFL. On Sept. 11, Stan tweeted a picture of CoverGirl’s Baltimore Raven’s make-up collection edited to make the model in the ad appear to have a black eye, in response to the NFL’s handling of the Ray Rice domestic abuse incident. Since then, the photo and several others like it have gone viral in an effort to campaign against CoverGirl’s sponsorship of the NFL. Stan is absolutely right in her stance against this sponsorship.

Until the NFL takes a definite stance against its problem with violence against women, starting with the resignation of Commissioner Roger Goodell, CoverGirl should not be a sponsor.

MANDISA SHIELDS

WHAT A GIRL WANTS Stan’s campaign against CoverGirl’s sponsorship with the NFL has become so extensive that CoverGirl released a statement on Sept. 15.

On its Facebook page, CoverGirl said it started its NFL program “to celebrate the more than 80 million female football fans” and that it has “encouraged the NFL to take swift action on their path forward to address the issue of domestic violence.”

It’s not hard to see why it would be problematic for CoverGirl to continue sponsoring the NFL. A majority of CoverGirl’s consumers are women and the NFL has a distinct problem with violence against women. According to the USA Today

NFL Arrests Database, 77 players throughout 27 of the NFL’s 32 teams have been arrested on charges of domestic violence since 2000.

As a business whose majority of consumers are women, CoverGirl should be moved to action by these numbers. Aside from being humane, it is also a smart business model for CoverGirl to invest in its loyal consumers instead of an establishment that does not treat women properly.

In the past CoverGirl has been a supporter of female empowerment.

From its Clean Water and #GirlsCan campaigns to its partnerships with positive female examples like Ellen Degeneres, P!nk and Janelle Monae, CoverGirl has proven that it cares about its female consumers and not just about cashing in on its latest paycheck.

CoverGirl now has an opportunity to take a stand for what is right.

As a business whose demographic is largely made up of women, CoverGirl should be concerned with issues that affect many of these women.

According to a Sept. 12 Washington Post article, 45 percent of the NFL’s 150 million fan base is made up of women. Until Commissioner Goodell resigns and some major

policy changes are made within the NFL, CoverGirl should not sponsor a league that doesn’t advocate for almost half its fans.

at Posse, in a statement. Posse’s college and university partners award four-year, full tuition leadership scholarships to outstanding high school students from nine different cities in the United States, according to the foundation’s website.

Fasciano said it is very rare for Posse to lose one of its partnerships.

“Of course we are disappointed to miss out on even a single Posse Scholarship opportunity, especially from a school that has such a fantastic track record for supporting scholars on campus,” he said in the statement.

SU is currently one of three schools in the country that support Posse in three cities. The

dailyorange.com news@dailyorange.com

University of Wisconsin-Madison is the only school that supports four Posses and the vast majority of schools only support one.

Miami will be the only Posse program to continue consistently with SU, because the university’s presence in Miami is not as strong as its presence Los Angeles or Atlanta, administrators said.

SU will no longer host new Posse scholars from Los Angeles, because there is already a strong structure to recruit students in the area. The third largest pool of applications and enrolled students at SU come from Southern California as well.

Ortiz, a television, radio and film major, said she was at the welcome back event on Sept. 4, when the SU Posse liaison, Costello Staniec, announced the changes. She said she thought that because none of the scholars’ questions could be answered about the changes, there was a lack of respect shown by administration for “underpreparing the liaison.”

“The chancellor, I feel, is trying to cut strings everywhere,” Ortiz said. “SU is cutting money in the small places where people don’t know about.”

She added that it was unfair for Posse to have to tell high school seniors they couldn’t apply to

SU. Especially, she said, when they could have already made SU their top school of choice when they first applied to Posse.

Don Saleh, the first and now former Posse liaison for SU, said after working with Posse for two years and knowing these students personally, he wasn’t surprised the scholars protested.

“These are students with strong convictions and they are leaders in their communities, they are leaders on campus and they had a message they wanted heard,” he said. “I thought they found a very respectful, but powerful way of getting that message across and you know, that’s a good thing.”

Saleh, who stepped down as vice president for enrollment management at SU in July, said it’s important for students to ensure faculty, staff, trustees and administrators hear their voices. He added that the campus is now stronger, because there are about 90 Posse students at SU. Donna Korol and her husband Paul Gold, both biology professors at SU, have worked with Posse for two years by co-mentoring a group of Posse students from Los Angeles. As Posse mentors, Korol and Gold meet with their scholars weekly

and discuss topics such as academic skill building and identity issues. Korol meets bi-weekly with each scholar one-on-one, she said. Korol added that the family-like atmosphere within the individual Posse groups encourages a holistic approach to her mentoring.

Since the changes, Korol said she believes Posse scholars have become more driven as leaders.

“I think that one good thing that has come from the cuts, is that they have made students more active and motivated,” she said. “They are finding a more clear and defined role on campus.”

Bolton, the Posse scholar from Miami, said the cuts have made him value what he had in Posse even more. He added that he thinks the cuts put things into perspective for students who could not attend SU without the scholarship.

“Posse gives you a group of people for support,” he said. “The entire support system is really remarkable and life-changing when you get that support. I don’t know what I would do without Posse at this point.”

casting rights to logistics to previous contracts.

One major ally in the cause was Student Association President Boris Gresely, who worked from the beginning to address the conflict.

“What makes this university unique is our commitment to diversity,” Gresely said. “This is a case where we didn’t commit to that, we let in outside influences.”

David Kimelman, executive vice president and vice president of religious life of the Hillel Jewish Student Union, said that while the football game is scheduled for the same time as Yom Kippur services, he does not think

attendance will be affected.

But Gresely, Small, Kimelman and Goldberg all said they agree SU and SU Athletics were supportive of respecting the religious worship of students by making specific changes to logistics.

Small said he hopes situations likes these create a dialogue about the overall message SU is trying to foster.

“This underlines the point about the ethics and morals of campus,” he said. “Is it football and ESPN, or creating a pluralistic religious environment?”

“It is very easy to pass blame around, but the largest crime was that some parties didn’t have all the control they wanted,” Small said. “Promises were made that simply cannot be kept.”

Small pointed out that many other factors hold influence over scheduling, from national broad-

Fiesta to honor fraternity Kappa Chapter of Phi Iota Alpha to celebrate 20th anniversary

By Alexa Diaz contributing writer

GREGORY HEISLER has photos featured in magazines such as Time, Sports Illustrated and Esquire. This semester Heisler joined the Syracuse University faculty as a professor in the multimedia, photography and design department at Newhouse.

regory Heisler is OK being the dumbest guy in the room.

That’s what he said, at least, in his interview to become a distinguished professor of photography in the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications.

“The level of the faculty is outstanding,” Heisler said. “I want to come here to learn; I want to come here to grow; I want to be among people who are wildly smart.”

Most people, however, would consider Heisler one of the wildly smart.

His resume, as a professional photographer for over 40 years, includes more than 70 covers of Time magazine, and his photo essays have graced the pages and covers of Life, Sports Illustrated and Esquire. This fall, he joined the Newhouse faculty in the multimedia, photography and design department.

Heisler, who grew up in Chicago, got his start in photography by taking senior portraits for a yearbook company. In one year, he shot roughly 60,000 senior pictures.

“As a shy person, that totally brought me out of my shell where I could talk to anybody and nobody made me uncomfortable, and it was very easy and it was a great experience,” Heisler said.

I want to come here to grow; I want to be among people who are wildly smart. gregory heisler distinguished professor of photography

He moved to New York City after one of his photography idols, Arnold Newman, offered him a job as an apprentice. He later started freelanc-

Heisler joins Newhouse faculty as distinguished professor, brings experience to classroom ing and worked for smaller magazines until he got a call from Life.

“It was to take pictures of a parking lot,” Heisler said. “Literally, a parking lot. And that’s the kind of assignment they would give to the new person.”

It paid off, though. Soon after, a staff member at Time contacted Heisler to do his first cover, a portrait of Jackie Joyner-Kersee, an Olympic track and field star.

“I’m a terrible sports photographer, so I actually made it into a picture that I could take and tried to make her kind of larger than life, and I think they kind of responded to that,” Heisler said.

Throughout the next 20 years, he photographed President George H. W. Bush, Muhammad Ali, Bruce Springsteen and many others.

With every photo, Heisler said he hopes the viewer will learn something about the subject.

“In a still photograph, you’re taking the continuum of experience

and crystallizing it onto one image to say this will stand for that whole experience,” he said. “This one picture says everything.”

In his career, Heisler chose to take risks. At one point he was hired to photograph an advertisement for men’s clothing. He said the models weren’t the type of men to actually wear the clothes, so he hired professional dancers to model them instead.

“You take your biggest chances on your most important opportunities, on your most important jobs,” Heisler said.

“What happens many times, people in general, photographers specifically, they play it safe when they’re up against a big event or a big opportunity. They want to do the sure thing that they know is going to work. I think it’s the risk that pushes me to do my best work.”

Heisler said he doesn’t have one favorite assignment or project. There are some that stand out because they’re see heisler page 13

Move over Newhouse. There is another birthday on campus.

Celebrating 20 years of brotherhood and growth, members of the Kappa Chapter of the Latino-interest fraternity Phi Iota Alpha will be honored for their service in the Syracuse community at their sold-out anniversary luncheon and the Fiesta Latina celebration this weekend.

“Twenty years is not a long time if you think about it, but it is a pretty big deal,” said Hector Marmolejos, the president of the chapter. “We have crossed 100 brothers, and we are quality brothers.”

Fiesta Latina is an annual banquet held during National Hispanic Heritage Month to bring people together with cultural foods, dancing and performances. Phi Iota Alpha and the Office of Multicultural Affairs planned this year’s event over the course of six months.

Marmolejos, a junior economics major, said the event will showcase two decades of accomplishment and dedication by the fraternity’s members in efforts to unify the

The fraternity works to provide students with scholarships and hosts a variety of cultural events and workshops throughout the year, Marmolejos added. These events include Sazon Phiota, during which the fraternity goes to each dining hall over the course of two weeks in the fall to expose students to Spanish food, music and dancing. The fraternity also hosts Language Barriers, a discussion forum for Latino students to voice their opinions on issues that pertain to the Latino community.

Columnist discusses evolution of dance, awkward encounter at party

H

ave you ever thought about the first person to dance? All the cavemen and cavewomen are sitting around the fire after the mammoth feast, banging rocks together or whatever they did, and suddenly, one of them gets up and starts moving around, shaking what their cave-mama gave them. Everyone else must have been pretty confused, but for some reason, these actions continued.

Unfortunately, this first dancer did not pass any of their funky genes on to me. I tend to dance like one of those inflatable “grand opening” tube guys you see when buying a new car. I learned how to waltz in eighth grade, and I can hold my own with the twist. As I found out recently though, this doesn’t help me out too much in 2014.

Think about it. That dude just can’t dance.

Believe me, I’ve tried. And looking back, I feel bad for every girl I ever dragged along to homecoming or spring formal. For any of those

from page 9

fiesta latina chapter launched #ProjectSUccess, a campaign designed to promote career-related events on campus and encourage community members to expose themselves to full-time job and internship opportunities. The chapter sponsored six students to get haircuts to help prepare for the career events.

“I think Latinos aren’t recognized for what we do. That is one of the reasons we started #ProjectSUccess, because we want to show Syracuse

unfortunate souls, I imagine dancing with me is like dancing with your father-in-law at your wedding. I’m bumping into people, stepping on feet — it’s just bad news.

This is precisely the reason why I received the shock of my life last weekend.

I went out on Saturday night — sorry, Mom and Dad — to meet up with some friends of mine.

It was then that I was approached and asked something I had not heard in quite a long time.

Would I like to dance? Hello, confidence boost!

After my surprised “Yes,” I was soon reminded that it was 2014. I wasn’t at the sock-hop with Peggy Sue. That was Zedd playing over the speakers, not Chubby Checker.

The words barely left my mouth when I had

some stranger’s backside using my thigh like a scratching post. I was brought back to my brief basketball days, and I was being boxed out of the paint. I couldn’t even see the gal’s face. Luckily, my dance floor adventure lasted about eight seconds. And then she was gone.

In those eight seconds, I had a profound moment of clarity. The whole dancing on your partner rather than dancing with your partner was kind of sad to me. I felt like that crotchety old man that my dancing emulates.

This dang generation and their commitment issues! They can’t even look me in the eye when I’m dancing with ‘em!

The more I think about it, the more I feel like she just had an itch she couldn’t reach.

Naïve little Zach thought he could dance to EDM, and this girl apparently thought so too — although only for a matter of seconds. At first I felt bad for myself, acting like a dancin’ fool out there. Now I feel even worse for my mysterious

dance partner for having to put up with me. It was like I was 4 years old again, and my mom lost me in Wal-Mart. I didn’t have a clue what to do.

But a guy can dream, can’t he? I’ve been told that college is all about learning, or something like that. It looks like I’ve got to learn how to dance. So if you’re out there, mystery dance partner, my sincere apologies. But if you’re gonna dance with me, you ought to turn around.

Maybe my awkward moves will become the next big dance craze in a few years. The hipster crowd is always looking for something terrible to adopt, and I’ve got the just the thing. By that time though, I’ll have my twerk down. Watch out, Miley. In a decade or so, you’re going to have competition.

University that we are striving to be professional — we want a job,” Marmolejos said. “We are here for a reason. We are not just here to party. We came to college for a career.”

Andres Rivera, a former president and the current alumni relations chair of the fraternity, said community involvement is a main focus of the organization.

Rivera, a junior marketing major and the president of the National Association of Latino Fraternal Organizations, said the events will also highlight the close-knit brotherhood of the chapter,

which is rooted in their support of Latino students.

“The Latino community on this campus is growing tremendously. More and more Latino students are coming and, for me, when I first got here, I felt so underrepresented,” Rivera said.

“I definitely feel like it is important for us to celebrate our culture and our history. ” The luncheon and celebration will not only celebrate their goals and achievements, but also bring together several generations of the chapter.

Roger Guzman, one of the more than 60 alumni returning to campus for Fiesta Latina, is a 2013

alumnus and former president and social chair of the Kappa chapter of Phi Iota Alpha. He hopes to establish a stronger relationship with the founders of the fraternity and reconnect with his brothers.

“I think we have provided even the students who are not necessarily interested in joining our organization as a brother or a member with being very content to be affiliated with us, knowing they have a place they can come to, and it’s a comfort zone,” Guzman said. “You don’t necessarily have to be a brother for me to treat you like my brother.”

Beak & Skiff Apple Orchard offers freshly picked fruit, apple-infused alcohol tastings

2 1 A 25-minute drive from Syracuse University’s campus, the Beak & Skiff Apple Orchard is an ideal location for apple picking this fall. 2 The orchard is for more than just apple picking.

Guests who are of age can enjoy tasting hard ciders and apple wines.

ut away that Orange pride for just a weekend.

Up on Apple Hill, just about 25 minutes from the Syracuse University campus, sits one of central New York’s largest apple orchards: Beak & Skiff Apple Orchard.

Established in 1911, Beak & Skiff began as a small family-owned orchard famous for its apple fritters. It has since turned into an apple-infused conglomerate comprised of an orchard, winery, cafe, bakery, general store and food hut.

Those who visit the orchard, which overlooks the town of Lafayette, have the option to spend their day picking apples, enjoying the food or shopping in the country store. For the over-21 crowd, there is also an opportunity to taste some of the apple wines and ciders.

“You don’t have to spend a penny,” owner Debby Skiff said. “You can just come and enjoy the scenery.”

Behind Beak & Skiff’s cascading series of barns are 600 acres of apple tress. Visitors can wait in line for tractor rides that take them back into the orchards where they are free to pick their share of apples or simply enjoy the views.

During the colder months, bonfire pits are set up throughout the orchards where pickers can sit down and stay warm.

This massive orchard has about 15 different types of apples, including Gala, Northern Sky, Golden Delicious and Empire.

“Depending on the type of apple you want, they are available at different times throughout the season,” Skiff said.

Skiff also said that checking the picking schedule online before visiting the orchard is a way to see what kinds of apples are available for picking that day. The tractor rides are free for anyone, and if guests choose to pick apples, those can be weighed and paid for at the end of the trip.

The Beak & Skiff Café serves a variety of sandwiches and salads made with apples

straight from the orchards. Some of the more popular items are the pulled-pork tacos with mango-apple slaw or the apple-chicken salad served on a croissant.

The café leads into the 1911 Tasting Room with a high gambrel ceiling decorated in dangling lights. Bartenders pass out sampling sheets to guests over 21 to taste the vodka,

PICK ME Here are some of the types of apples that can be picked at Beak & Skiff in October:

Cortland Macoun Red Delicious Northern Spy Honeycrisp gin, five different hard ciders or three wines, all of which are made from the apples and are gluten-free. Outside the tasting room is a small store where the homemade wines and ciders, as well as an array of pints, mug and other glassware are sold.

The cafe is located next to the Apple Barn, where pre-picked apples are sold in crates or by weight.

“If the weather is bad, you can still come and eat and drink and get your fresh picked apples from the Apple Barn,” Skiff said.

In the bakery, a variety of pastries are sold daily. Apple pies and apple dumplings are a few of the most popular desserts, but Skiff said the doughnuts are truly the fan favorite. The doughnuts are made right in front of guests, using apple cider, and then doused with cinnamon sugar.

Beak & Skiff also features the cider press and beehive room, where visitors can watch as homemade honey is created using three beehive frames.

The orchard is open everyday during the season. However, weekends have a tendency to get busy, and the cafe can run out of its popular items. Skiff said weekdays seem to be best for avoiding lines and getting a little taste of everything.

“It’s really just a free day of entertainment at a destination right in our community,” Skiff said. ammaddig@syr.edu

heisler turning points in his career, or the subject was interesting, he said, but he also sees his faults.

Heisler considers all of his photos failures.

When he looks at them, all he can see is what’s wrong with them.

“You don’t remember the things that you got, the things that you captured — you remember the missed opportunities,” he said.

This mentality carries over into his illustration photography class, said Amanda Piela, a junior photojournalism and anthropology double major. Heisler shares his triumphs and failures as examples when teaching.

“He knows that he’s not a perfect individual, and he shows us that and lets us realize that that’s not the most important thing in life,” said

You don’t remember the things that you got, the things that you captured — you remember the missed opportunities. gregory heisler distinguished professor of photography

Piela, who is also a contributing photographer for The Daily Orange.

MPD department chair Bruce Strong said he thinks Heisler’s humility is one of the reasons he is a successful teacher. Students give him respect because of his accomplishments.

“When he speaks to students about things to do

or not to do, they are all confident that he is speaking from experience,” Strong said. “He knows it because he’s done it, and he continues to do it.”

Strong was influenced by Heisler’s work when he was a student at Rochester Institute of Technology. Heisler did a photo essay on Muhammad Ali for Sports Illustrated, and Strong said that essay taught him how to create a mood with photos and show the viewer the essence of the subject.

The two officially met at the Eddie Adams Workshop in 1988, an intensive four-day program for young photographers. Many years later, they were both back at the workshop as instructors, and Strong asked Heisler if he would ever be interested in teaching at Newhouse. When a position opened, Strong first thought of Heisler.

Strong said that while some professors struggle to explain difficult concepts to students, Heisler is not one of them.

“Because we know how to do something, we assume others understand it,” Strong said. “I think Greg has the ability to put himself back at the beginning, remember what it was like not to know how to do specific things and then to articulate how best to do that for a beginner.”

One of Heisler’s main goals as a teacher is to help students gain a new perspective on their own work. He sees himself as a communicator, and teaching is just one more way to do that.

“Everybody says you teach to give back, which is true,” Heisler said. “But I do it for more selfish reasons. I think it’s really fun and it’s gratifying to be a teacher. As satisfying as it is to make pictures, and it is, it sort of is more gratifying really to be able to enable someone else to see things in a new way or to be able to have the tools to express themselves in a new way.” ekbaty@syr.edu

Orange looks to improve 2nd-half play against Boston College

By Liam Sullivan staff writer

Start-to-finish efforts by Syracuse have been few and far between. The team has had issues stringing together a complete game lately and several players admitted SU hasn’t played consistently for all 90 minutes.

Junior forward Erin Simon thinks Syracuse needs to up next begin approaching VS Boston College each remaining @ SU Soccer Stadium game differently.

Saturday, 7 p.m.

“We have a lot of freshmen who need to understand that we need to play a full 90 minutes,” Simon said.

“But it’s not all just them. It’s a team as a whole because we as veterans need to bring them in and teach them. We can’t take any time off in any of these games because they’re all vital.”

Struggling in the second halves of games and defending set pieces, Syracuse (4-5-3, 1-2 Atlantic Coast) has recorded losses in its past six games and now sits in a tie for eighth-place in the ACC standings. SU needs to quickly regroup or risk missing the conference tournament. The Orange hopes to overcome its late-game struggles and its set piece defending this Saturday at 7 p.m. against Boston College (8-4, 1-2) at SU Soccer Stadium.

The Orange has allowed 11 goals after halftime as opposed to only three in the first half this season.

SU played scoreless first halves with Cincin-

nati on Sept. 21 and Pittsburgh on Sunday, but second-half collapses led to losses of 3-1 and 1-0, respectively. Earlier this season, SU held Penn State scoreless at halftime, but lost 2-0.

The Orange needs to finish Saturday’s game stronger, goalkeeper Courtney Brosnan said, and bring a similar intensity to the second half that it does in the first frame.

We’ve conceded a lot of goals off of set pieces. As far as corner kicks go, it’s a lack of discipline by leaving someone unmarked or watching the ball.

Phil Wheddon su head coach

“We need to stay more focused in the second half,” junior defender Taylor Haenlin said. “A few times we’ve been up going into halftime and we kind of take our foot off the gas.”

Despite getting 76 shots off in the second half as opposed to 62 in the first, SU has been unable to capitalize. The Orange has scored nine goals in the first half and only seven in the second frame, failing to convert on its chances.

The team has also struggled giving up goals off of set pieces this season. Corner kicks, free kicks and penalty kicks have all troubled Syra-

cuse late in games.

“We’ve conceded a lot of goals off of set pieces,” head coach Phil Wheddon said. “As far as corner kicks go, it’s a lack of discipline by leaving someone unmarked or watching the ball.”

SU let Drexel back into a game after leading 2-0 at halftime. The Dragons would later go on to tie the game after SU allowed a goal off a corner kick. A poorly defended corner kick less than two minutes into the game was all it took

to give Louisville the lead and a 1-0 win as well.

The team is focusing on defending set pieces, Simon said. She thinks Syracuse is improving by learning to vocalize and increase its energy during set pieces, especially in the second half of games.

“We need to come out strong in the second half,” Haenlin said, “and really stay focused and make it a goal not to have any goals against us.” lpsull01@syr.edu

Syracuse thrives in blocking ahead of 2nd ACC weekend

Syracuse has out-blocked its opponents a combined 156.5-80.5 this season. It’s had the advantage in that category in all 14 of its games of the year. margaret lin photo editor

Freshman Leah Levert looks across the court as the ball is set, watching the hitter’s arm.

Her core tightens as the hitter rises for the spike. She bends her knees for the jump. She extends her arms as she explodes off the ground.

“You just have to get that block.

You just have to,” up next Levert said. at Notre Dame Most of the time, @ Purcell Pavillion Levert and her Friday, 7 p.m. teammates have.

This season, SU (7-7, 0-2 Atlantic Coast Conference) has out-blocked every opponent it has faced. Head coach Leonid Yelin attributes his team’s blocking success to its height and athleticism, but said that the team must do a better job converting defense into offense if it is to win ACC games.

And Syracuse will look to continue its blocking dominance when it travels to Notre Dame (3-10, 0-2) on Friday and Boston College (6-7, 1-1) on Sunday in the team’s second weekend of ACC play.

“We cannot rely on one skill, doesn’t matter how good it is,” Yelin said. “We will continue trying to be (the) better (blocking) team because ultimately, better blocking brings the defense up too.”

Through 14 games, SU has out-blocked opponents 156.5 to 80.5, led by middle blockers Levert and Lindsay McCabe. Additionally, the two have combined for more total blocks than the Orange’s opponents.

Levert said blocking is an emotional individual experience, but said there are also critical technical aspects to the skill, such as watching the opposing hitter’s arm as she jumps for a hit.

She also credited team blocking and communication as big reasons for SU’s early success on the block.

“Our pin blockers are really good with com-

municating and encouraging you to get there and encouraging you to go up with them,” Levert said.

The next step for the team is to incorporate blocking the ball into better team defense.

Yelin said that the team’s height up front could hurt digging in the back row.

“We are quick enough but we are not experienced enough,” he said. “We have to learn to read different situations better — what the hitter is going to do instead of just reacting.”

Yelin compared mental volleyball to children learning to read a book — the more they practice, the easier it is to read. In volleyball, the more games the players play, the easier it is to anticipate where the ball is going.

A good dig to the setter allows the team to stay in system and score more points and staying in the system is Yelin’s top priority.

“When (you’re an) older player, you do a lot of things by just understanding what you have to do, trying to save your energy,” he said.

“When you’re younger, you’re still relying on your physical ability.”

The Orange has abundant youth and athletic ability. The 6-foot-2 Levert has played in 45 of SU’s 53 sets this season despite being a freshman.

“It’s not only about honing your body,” Levert said of blocking, “but also making your body know what you’re supposed to do because that’s what your mind is telling it to do.”

Levert is passionate and strong on the block because of her intensity and her “carnal side,” but she knows she can’t let it take over. This mental struggle is key for McCabe, too.

The senior said that blocking requires a lot of effort, but players need to be more focused in order to channel that effort into good overall defense.

“On an individual basis, everybody knows what they need to be ready to play,” McCabe said. “So just taking that time before starting warm-ups to be ready to compete and play at your highest level.” jlrose@syr.edu

virginia tech a big part of the Orange’s success as an attacking midfielder, and the position has also granted him more chances than he got last year.

But he’ll continue to look for his first goal when No. 9 Syracuse (8-1, 2-1 Atlantic Coast) takes on Virginia Tech (7-3, 2-1 ACC) at 7 p.m. on Saturday

at Thompson Field in Blacksburg, Virginia.

“I can tell you that I have planned a celebration,” Alseth said. “I don’t want to get too hyped about it because I’ve said a lot of times, ‘Hopefully my first goal will be tonight.’ But hey, you never know.”

In the 70th minute against the Fighting Irish on Sept. 13, Alseth received a cross-field pass in the air from Juuso Pasanen. His initial touch

with the outside of his right foot got away, but after winning the ball from UND’s Evan Panken, Alseth took a touch ahead and unleashed from 30 yards out.

His right-footed shot curled away from Notre Dame goalie Patrick Wall. It evaded Wall’s reach, but careened off the right post and away to safety for Notre Dame.

We’re ready to come in whenever coach needs us … to make that spark and change the game when the opportunity comes.

Stefanos Stamoulacatos su midfielder

OYVIND ALSETH has never scored a goal during his Syracuse career. The midfielder has big a celebration planned for his first one. logan reidsma staff photographer

Against Binghamton on Sept. 24, Alseth stood behind a free kick from 30 yards out in the first half. He whipped a low, slicing ball toward goal, but Bearcats keeper Robert Moewes dealt with it comfortably.

The chances haven’t been coming in bulk, but Alseth has seen several other shots go begging. And in the 1-0 games Syracuse has often found itself in, an unexpected goal

would help.

“I’ll take a goal from him right now,” SU head coach Ian McIntyre said with a smirk.

Even though there have been several games in which Alseth hasn’t played the full 90 minutes, he’s been instrumental in an Orange midfield that has dominated opponents.

Attacking midfielders such as Alseth and Stefanos Stamoulacatos are constantly covering 18-yard box to 18-yard box, providing a much -needed boost when in the game.

“We’re ready to come in whenever coach needs us,” Stamoulacatos said. “… to make that spark and change the game when the opportunity comes.”

Though Alseth hasn’t changed the game on the scoreboard yet in his Syracuse career, he has done so in other ways. He consistently puts top-notch services into the box, as shown by his five assists, but it’s not the assists he’s being pressured to tally.

Alseth is hearing it from all sides, but with his team ranked in the Top 10 and the defense keeping opponents scoreless in eight games, not breaking the scoring seal seems relatively trivial. “(McIntyre has) been telling me I better start scoring,” Alseth said. “I’ve been hearing it a lot from my teammates as well, but as long as we keep winning I don’t really care if I score goals or not. That’s the most important thing.” mcschnei@syr.edu | @matt_schneidman

“Ben’s creating a role for himself,” offensive coordinator George McDonald said. “He’s a guy that works hard every day and every day he adds a little bit more to his plate and every day he maximizes his opportunity. He’s an example for everybody in our program.”

Lewis had his biggest game of the season thus far against Notre Dame on Saturday, taking a fourth-quarter pass over the middle from Hunt and picking up a chunk of 46 yards.

So we had to play soccer and go out and beat people up on the soccer field.

Ben Lewis su wide reciever

But his performance at MetLife Stadium wasn’t the first time a member of his family played in an NFL stadium.

His uncle, Bill Lewis, played seven years in the NFL after an All-American career at Nebraska. He always reminded his nephew he played against Howie Long when the NFL analyst was on FOX’s Sundays broadcasts. Lewis’ cousin Alex, Bill’s son, now starts for the same Cornhusker offensive line on which Bill earned All-American honors.

“Football was always ingrained into us,” Lewis said.

Lewis’ older brother played at Kansas State and visits to watch him play are some of Lewis’ fondest memories of living in Kansas

— the source of his Midwest accent — for the first six years of his life.

But Lewis himself couldn’t play organized football until sixth grade. The rule, mandated by his father throughout his family, put a temporary hold on Lewis’ football career, limiting it to backyard catches with his dad.

“So we had to play soccer and go out and beat people up on the soccer field,” Lewis said.

Yet once Lewis joined a football team, his versatility became clear. He started as a running back in middle school, then branched into receiving, special teams and defense as a linebacker and safety at Middletown (Maryland) High School.

After picking the Orange over Connecticut, East Carolina and a late push from Maryland, Lewis is still a flexible contributor. In addition to his role as a wideout, he’s on SU’s kickoff, kickoff return and punt return units.

“Staying busy,” he said with a laugh.

But he’s most occupied as a wide receiver.

Though Lewis hasn’t hauled in more than three catches in a game yet, he’s content with SU’s distribution to its receiving options.

Currently, Lewis said he’s more focused on preparing for opposing defenses than working on his own skills. As long as he keeps finding holes in the opposing secondary, his roommate has no reason not to throw him the ball.

“Ben has a weird way of getting open,” Hunt said. “What’s so good about him is that he does the basic things really well. He takes pride in going to the spot and sitting there and having that connection with me.

“That’s what makes him a great receiver.” pmdabbra@syr.edu | @PhilDAbb

notebook available,” Petrino said. “Will was out there last night, did more in practice. Reports from the training room this morning was there was limited swelling, so we get a chance to get him out today at practice again.”

Gardner has thrown eight touchdowns, completed 56.3 percent of his passes and averages 199.5 yards per game. Bonnafon, who’s played in three games, has connected on 57.7 percent of his throws. He has thrown for 357 yards and a touchdown while also rushing for a pair of scores.

Prior to Petrino’s announcement, SU head coach Scott Shafer discussed the Orange defense’s approach to preparing to face either — or both — of Louisville’s signal-callers during his weekly press conference.

“I think both kids are a little bit different. I think Bonnafon probably has the edge, with his ability to take off with the ball,” Shafer said. “But the one thing about Coach Petrino is that he’s very systematic with the way he runs his offense and what he has those quarterbacks do.

“So you’re not going to have two different offenses when one guy’s in.”

Shafer said the Louisville offense is different in that it keeps tight ends on the field often to try to avoid third-down situations. The Cardinals’ offense sways back and forth between strong and weak formations, he said, and many of their linemen are capable of playing more than one spot.

The keys for the Syracuse defense, Shafer added, will be its ability to stop the run on early-down situations and force Louisville into longyardage positions where the Orange can “attack the scheme” and try to get to the quarterback.

“For the most part, we’re going to see an

offense that stays true to what they are, which is an offense that breaks their tendencies all the time,” Shafer said. “Short week, I’m sure they’ll stay with what they’ve had success with but I know Coach Petrino will have some good wrinkles in the game plan for us.”

Shafer, Petrino discuss 2012 upset After beating Wake Forest, Petrino sensed a different enthusiasm for his team’s next opponent.

“I just heard it after our game, after the Wake Forest game, the players being excited about going back to Syracuse,” Petrino said during the teleconference. “I asked one of our coaches, ‘What’s that all about?’”

It’s about his Cardinals having a chance to redeem themselves after being upset, 45-26, in the Carrier Dome on Nov. 10, 2012. Louisville came to SU with a 9-0 record, the No. 11 rank in the country and a high-octane offense powered

by Teddy Bridgewater. But SU’s offense, on Senior Day, blew out the Cardinals on ABC. “Obviously it was a good victory for us,” Shafer said on the teleconference. “The kids played hard, played well offensively. Ryan Nassib played well.”

The quarterback, playing his last game in the Carrier Dome, completed just 15 passes but averaged 16 yards per completion and chucked three touchdown passes — two to fellow senior Alec Lemon — as he led the Orange to 514 yards of total offense. Bridgewater’s 424 yards through the air were all in vain.

But Shafer was quick to turn the page from the past and focus on his team’s next test.

“Just a great victory in the Dome and that sort of thing,” Shafer said, “but from a coach’s perspective, that’s a long time ago and a lot different situation than we’re fronted with right now.” pmdabbra@syr.edu | @PhilDAbb

Brisly Estime is out against Louisville, Syracuse head coach Scott Shafer said on his weekly radio show Wednesday night.

Wide receiver Ashton Broyld, r i g h t tackle Ivan Foy, running b a c k Deva nte McFa rl a n e , tight end BRISLY ESTIME Kendall Moore, cornerback Wayne Morgan and safety Rodney Williams are all out for Syracuse’s 7 p.m. game against Louisville on Friday in the Carrier Dome, according to the injury update released by SU Athletics Wednesday night.

Estime is listed as questionable on the injury report.

The junior Broyld, who is still the Orange’s fourth-leading receiver, missed SU’s 31-15 loss to then-No. 8 Notre Dame after pulling up mid-route against Maryland on Sept. 20. Estime left the game against the Fighting Irish last Saturday with an ankle injury.

Foy and Moore were also injured against UND. A player fell on Foy’s leg and Moore absorbed two knees to the head in quick succession, suffering a concussion. Moore returned to class on Tuesday, Shafer said Tuesday.

Preseason starter Josh Parris is listed as the No. 1 tight end on the team’s depth chart after recovering from a knee injury.

Morgan underwent a knee procedure last Thursday. He was the Orange’s No. 3 cornerback behind Brandon Reddish and Julian Whigham and ahead of Corey Winfield and Antwan Cordy.

Williams, a freshman, was listed as out with a lower-body injury. He had two tackles and a fumble recovery in Syracuse’s 40-3 win over Central Michigan on Sept. 13. jmklinge@syr.edu @jacob_klinger_

Receiver Lewis brings versatility to SU in absence of Broyld, Estime

hey like to call him Eric Decker.

Although Ben Lewis’ stats might not warrant the comparison to one of his favorite NFL wide receivers, his Syracuse teammates say his work ethic does.

“He just came in and never said anything, just worked his balls off,” said Terrel Hunt, SU’s starting quarterback and Lewis’ roommate. “He just goes out there, he competes and does what he has to do.”

For an achy Syracuse (2-2) receiving group, Lewis has been a mainstay.

Since the beginning of last season, only forward Emil Ekblom and goalie Alex Bono have started more games than Oyvind Alseth.

But Alseth — who played every game at right back last year and has started eight of Syracuse’s nine games at right wing this year — still has the same num-

coach Scott Shafer.

With high-level football in his blood, Lewis came into this season with just one collegiate reception to his name. Now he’s tied for second on the team with 11 catches on the year and he’s the only receiver with multiple catches in each of SU’s four games.

Petrino, Shafer discuss Louisville quarterbacks

By Phil D’Abbraccio asst. sports editor

Louisville will start freshman Reggie Bonnafon again at quarterback against Syracuse, head coach Bobby Petrino said during the Atlantic Coast Conference coaches’ teleconference Wednesday morning.

Bonnafon completed 16-of-32 passes and threw for 206 yards in

his first college start last weekend at Wake Forest, a 20-10 Cardinals’ win. Redshirt sophomore Will Gardner started Louisville’s (4-1, 2-1 ACC) first four games at quarterback before sustaining a knee injury. He will be an option when the Cardinals and Orange (2-2) kick off at 7 p.m. in the Carrier Dome on Friday night.
