he women scream, grimace and tear at their hair. Some raise their hands to the sky while others bury their heads in their arms. Most have fallen to their knees but some have collapsed completely as if hoping they can disappear into the ground. One moment of unimaginable grief captured forever in steel, wire, mesh and foam. Or rather, 76 moments. Seventy-six lives changed forever on a December day in 1988 when a bomb ripped Pan Am Flight 103 out of the sky over Lockerbie, Scotland, killing everyone on board. Together the 76 sculptures create Dark Elegy, a memorial that depicts the exact moment when each of these women learned that their loved one had been killed. Some lost a husband. Others, a brother. Many lost a child, including the parents of 35 Syracuse University see remembrance page 10

When Syracuse University disinvited photojournalist Michel du Cille and his wife Nikki Kahn from campus on Thursday, the two found themselves in an unusual position. “As a journalist you always try to stay out of the story,” Kahn said. “Becoming the story is uncomfortable for me.” Twenty-one days has been the accepted incubation period to determine that a person exposed to Ebola most likely does not have the virus. Du Cille, a three-time Pulitzer Prize-winning photojournalist, was scheduled to come to campus for the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications’ Fall Workshop this past weekend. He had been symptom-free for 21 days after covering the Ebola crisis for the Washington Post in Liberia when he was disinvited late Thursday afternoon. Bringing du Cille to campus was not a risk SU administrators were willing to take. “My No. 1 concern is for the safety and security of students,” said Vice Chancellor and Provost Eric Spina. “There might be a 99.9999 percent chance that it’s all clear but there’s always that one in a million chance and that’s a chance I wasn’t willing to take.” Du Cille was scheduled to attend this weekend’s Fall Workshop for students in the multimedia, photography and design program in the Newhouse School. But Spina and Newhouse Dean Lorraine Branham decided it was best to disinvite him from the workshop. Kahn, a Pulitzer Prize-winning photojournalist, was also disinvited. Kahn was a graduate student at Newhouse and got her diploma in 2004. Kahn added that she was disappointed in the decision. As a graduate of Newhouse, she said she had attended the workshop in the past and was looking forward to being there again this see du

Like Thomas Edison and Steve Jobs, many great inventors who made history started out as students. Ben Marggraf knows this all too well. Marggraf, a senior biomedical engineering major, and Tim Meyer, a senior mechanical engineering major, founded the company Contact in spring of 2014. The company’s mission statement is “Pushing the limits of computer interaction through personal, affordable and immersive experiences.” Contact is reaching this mission through the development of a glove that allows the wearer to kinesthetically communicate with a computer. “We were trying to recreate what the human body already does,” Marggraf said. Marggraf came up with the idea for Contact while he was taking a class. One day, the students did an exercise in class and Marggraf saw an article about 3-D printing. His pitch involved a glove that could be used with a 3-D printer. Marggraf, who works at the MakerSpace, said he is developing the glove

to work with 3-D modeling by allowing users to kinesthetically manipulate their creations with the computer, instead of just using a 2-D visual. “It’s really confusing to manipulate that space,” Marggraf explained, referring to the current way the 3-D modeling process works. “If you’re able to reach out, grab it and spin it around, it makes more sense.” But Marggraf said the potential
uses for the glove go beyond aiding 3-D modeling. The glove can be used in any industry that requires people to communicate with computers — video games, robotic surgery and military training are just a few.

DPS to start using body cameras on trial basis By Sara Swann staff writer
The controversy surrounding the shooting of Michael Brown, an unarmed African American teenager in Ferguson, Missouri in August, has motivated the Syracuse University Department of Public Safety to invest in body cameras for its officers. DPS has been discussing the possibility of body cameras for several years
and has recently started looking at what types of body cameras would be best for its officers to wear, said Donna Adams, DPS associate director for administrative and technical services. Some of the body cameras are small and resemble pins. Other body cameras are bigger in size and look like the microphones on radios, Adams said. Once DPS decides on the type of body camera to utilize, officers will then run tests on the cam-

hopes to implement a permanent body camera policy next semester if the trials are successful, Adams said. “If a complaint is made, we want to be able to have video and audio recordings in order to provide evidence of what really happened,” Adams said.

editorial board
Decision to disinvite photographer was fueled by Ebola hysteria The majority of The Daily Orange Editorial Board disagrees with S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications’ decision to disinvite a Pulitzer Prize winning photographer from its 2014 Fall Workshop. The school gave in to the hysteria surrounding Ebola and disinviting the photographer reflects poorly on Newhouse. Newhouse disinvited Michel du Cille on Thursday from its Fall Workshop, after a student raised concerns of du Cille potentially bringing the Ebola virus to the SU campus. Du Cille had been in Liberia three weeks earlier
photographing the Ebola crisis. The decision to disinvite du Cille stemmed from the panic surrounding the Ebola virus, not from factual evidence and the actual likelihood of du Cille bringing the disease to SU. Du Cille had monitored his temperature at least twice a day during the commonly-accepted 21-day incubation period for Ebola. He had not shown any symptoms and Ebola is only contagious when it is symptomatic, according to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention. Disinviting du Cille ref lects poorly on Newhouse and denied students participating in the
workshop of a learning experience. The decision has also potentially burned a bridge with du Cille. Instead of falling prey to the hysteria about Ebola, Newhouse should have considered that du Cille had passed the 21-day incubation period and that he was exhibiting no symptoms. This decision could cast a shadow on the prestige of the school in years to come. Three out of eight members of The Daily Orange Editorial Board supported Newhouse’s decision, saying that any possibility that du Cille might have Ebola warranted Newhouse disinviting him. The members believe that du
Cille taking part in the workshop was not worth the risk of Ebola potentially coming to campus, especially considering that there have been some concerns raised over the accuracy of the 21-day incubation period. The minority of the Editorial Board stands by the decision of the administration. Regardless of the decision made by Newhouse, hopefully the school’s relationship with du Cille is not completely ruined. We encourage du Cille to eventually visit SU’s campus to work with the students who missed out on his presence at Fall Workshop.

‘Out of The Woods’ foreshadows successful pop career for Swift
T
aylor Swift’s long awaited pop debut “1989” will be available in one week. The first single off the record, “Shake It Off” kicked off the “1989” insanity last month and solidified the songstress’ spot among today’s pop heavy hitters. “Out Of The Woods” was released last week, and while it is not the next single off the album, Swift says the song best represents “1989.” Swift has captivated audiences with her lyrical genius. And with a transition to pop, it would be easy to fall into the trap of over-produced, mindless repetitive ditties that flood today’s Top 40. But “Out of The Woods” suggests that Swift will stick with what she knows — making her experiences universally relatable with a catchy tune. Swift’s pop album is long overdue and will no doubt maintain her musical integrity. When Swift burst on to the scene in 2006 she impressed critics and listeners alike with her eponymous album. Different from many contemporary country artists, Swift was a young teen making music for other teens about, you guessed it, being a teenager. The
ERIN G. KELLY MASS MEDIATED
16-year-old flaunted her country roots and sang songs such as “Tim McGraw” and “Teardrops on My Guitar.” “Fearless” followed in 2008 and introduced chorus-driven hits like “You Belong With Me,” which hinted that she had aims larger than the Nashville scene. Swift’s transition from country to pop has been imminent. “Speak Now” was the first album that Swift wrote and composed by herself, which debuted in 2010 and included country/pop crossover hits like “Mine” and “Mean.” Swift’s last album “Red,” further muddled her genre classification with “We Are Never Getting Back Together,” “22” and “I Knew You Were Trouble,” helping her reach her largest audience yet. Swift has garnered the adoration of listeners worldwide because her music is genuine. Not only does Swift play the guitar, banjo, ukulele and piano, she writes and composes
the majority of her music. She has the ability to reflect on lost love with the nostalgia and wisdom of a more tenured artist, composing “you call me up again just to break me like a promise/so casually cruel in the name of being honest.” And it hasn’t gone unnoticed. In her “Fearless” album review, Jodi Rosen of Rolling Stone said, “Swift is a songwriting savant with an intuitive gift for verse-chorus-bridge architecture.” However, this was not reflected in her first single off her new album. The first release from “1989,” “Shake it Off” was infectious but left something to be desired. As Forest Wickman points out in an Oct. 14 Slate article, “Shake it Off” is to “1989” as “22” is to “Red.” These sing-a-long, get on your feet and dance anthems are not concessions of Swift’s talents, they are simply lighter fare. But “Out of The Woods” is the polar opposite of “Shake it Off” in respect to her lyrical content, and I think “Out of The Woods” is representative of the quality we can expect in “1989.” The song is mature and thoughtful, heavily
influenced by late ‘80s synthpop, and a collaboration with Jack Antonoff, the guitarist for Fun. and Lena Dunham’s boyfriend. The chanting chorus, stacked drums and iconic Swift imagery follows the anguish of a relationship on the precipice of a split, which has led Swift fans and One Direction fans to perpetually hash out which details assure them “Out of The Woods” is about Harry Styles. Swift’s knack for vivid tales of heartbreak that pang the heart of even the casual listener is relentless. Comparing “Out of The Woods” directly to “Tim McGraw” would be near impossible. As Swift has grown older, her music has changed as well. Swift may have ditched her prairie dresses, her innocence and the banjo, but she has held on to the talents that will make her pop career just as successful as her country one. Erin G.

Investment in renewable energy in Africa would benefit U.S. economy
I
t’s difficult for any American to imagine a life without easily accessible power inside and outside the home. But for millions in Africa, it’s still difficult to imagine life with it. The development and investment in energy production in Africa need to succeed if parts of the continent’s economies are going to avoid plunging back into instability. Failure to improve would shred plans for trade and investment from the United States. Compared to other economies that are already dependent on fossil fuels for electricity, renewable energy technologies could have high chances of success in Africa. These technologies could satisfy, even if only partially, the high demand for energy. Africa presents a wonderful opportunity as a testing ground for large scale renewable energy production. This is a win-win case for a continent that desperately needs development and can get it through the cleanest technologies the world can offer. The International Energy Agency esti-
PHIL KRAMER
MORE THAN MONEY
mated last week that by 2040, nearly a half billion Africans still will not have access to electricity, according to a Tuesday article in The Wall Street Journal. This is in spite of a sturdy $7 billion “Power Africa” effort by the United States and more investment from around the world. It’s good to see support from the United States in its Power Africa initiative, which consists of billions of dollars’ worth of investments in power infrastructure for companies that are developing new grids. The question now facing those African companies is from what resources they will develop that energy. Africa is a landscape rich with oil and natural gas — offshore drilling is Nigeria and Ghana’s most lucrative industry and a
2013 report from the Energy Information Association showed that Sub-Saharan Africa possesses about 250 trillion cubic feet of proved natural gas reserves. But those resources should serve as exports for Africans and act as job-creators if the historically corrupt governments can straighten themselves out. The real opportunity for economic growth and innovation lies in renewable energy technology, perhaps in Africa more than anywhere else in the world. Investment from the United States and China will provide ample opportunity to develop wind, solar and geothermal fields. The main drawback of renewable technologies in the United States is a lack of “density,” or the ability to produce a large amount of power from a small amount of land — like an oil well can. The vast deserts of the Sahara are a solution to that. If there’s an area where increasingly inexpensive renewable energy projects that require vast amounts of land can succeed, it’s in Africa. According to a June 2013 Bloomberg arti-
cle, investment in renewables in Africa from China and Japan alone totaled $9.3 billion. Massive hydroelectric projects — think the Hoover Dam — in Ethiopia are funded by Chinese banks. United States will be doing the same in Power Africa. A well-developed Africa with functioning industries can provide great business partners with the Chinese and U.S. governments. Although new renewable projects requiring lots of space will be an attack on the valued, open African landscape, it will be for the greater economic and environmental good. Countries that have been struggling for development need these projects to succeed in order to literally fuel long-term growth, and that can open them up for more investment and trade from partners around the world. After centuries of poverty and stagnant development, a worldwide effort to power Africa is a win for all. Phil Kramer is a sophomore finance major. His column appears weekly.

From Joni Ernst in South Carolina to Cory Gardner in Montana, the GOP will be cleaning up this election cycle.

RAMI JACKSON MR. RIGHT
Kansas Republicans are abandoning Mr. Roberts—a share big enough to give the election to Mr. Orman if he consolidates Democratic and independent support.” Roberts needs to ramp up his campaign to avoid losing the seat at all costs. Roberts has been the senator of Kansas since 1997 and is the quintessential career politician, benefitting from what used to be an incredibly safe state for the Republican Party. But currently, he is losing what should be a pretty safe seat because he’s seen as an old dog

with no new tricks. Losing to challenger independent Greg Orman, who is seen by many as an out of touch millionaire that dodges questions about his specific policy ideas, would be an embarrassment to the Republican Party. The first thing Roberts needs to do is show the people of Kansas that he isn’t a complacent career politician. He needs to be much more assertive. He’s always been seen as a quiet Senator but he needs to make himself the center of attention if he wants to win this election. He’s started doing this recently, vowing that he would “block all legislation in the Senate with a prolonged filibuster if President Obama tries to
transfer detainees from Guantanamo Bay to the United States,” according to an Oct. 10 article from The Hill. Roberts also needs to better appeal to the Tea Party. Even though Ted Cruz and Sarah Palin have both endorsed him, the Tea Party still doesn’t favor Roberts. However, Roberts is leaving votes on the table by not having the entire right with him. The Republican Party is still projected to gain seats this fall even if Roberts loses. However, to see a threeterm senator lose to someone who can’t even define his policies is appalling. Roberts needs to play to his strengths and build upon them. He needs to use
his longevity in office as a plus, as well as continue to be a consistent force for things like second amendment rights when compared to a fence-sitting candidate like Greg Orman. Roberts is fighting for his political life but he needs to fight harder. He has clearly been doing something right for the past 17 years — he just needs to remind voters of what that is.

Court orders SU to turn over Fine investigation documents By Anna Merod and Dylan Segelbaum the daily orange
Syracuse University must turn over at least 25 documents about its investigation into a former associate men’s basketball coach who was fired in 2011 over sexual abuse allegations
to his wife’s attorney, a federal judge has ruled. These documents include five drafts of a witness statement former Syracuse ball boy Bobby Davis — one of two men who allege Bernie Fine sexually abused them —gave to SU in 2005. Fine was fired on Nov. 27, 2011. He was not charged following an almost yearlong federal
investigation. His wife, Laurie Fine, is suing ESPN Inc. for defamation over its reporting on the allegations. Her attorney has said he needs the documents to evaluate the credibility of witnesses.
Charges lowered for man accused of bike theft A 53-year-old man, who was arrested on Oct. 10 after stealing two bicycles on the Syracuse University campus, had his bail and larceny charge lowered on Thursday morning in the Syracuse City Court.

If DPS decides to have its officers wear body cameras, a policy statement will be made that will require the officers to announce that they are recording video and/or audio before they address the person in a particular situation, Adams said. Nicole Leadbeater, a sophomore public relations and marketing dual major, said she thinks having body cameras for DPS officers is a good idea, and will provide more accuracy. “I don’t see a problem as long as you are aware of them recording you,” she said. “I mean the DPS officers are also being recorded

Police arrested Stith on Oct. 10 shortly after he stole a $1,370 bicycle outside of Archbold Gymnasium, the Department of Public Safety said. DPS officers also connected Stith to a bike theft that happened outside of Kimmel Hall the day before. When Stith was arrested, he was charged with criminal mischief, possession of burglary tools, trespassing and grand larceny. almerod@syr.edu dmsegelb@syr.edu | @dylan_segelbaum

When can they turn them off? How do we know they are turned off?” Adams said instances of police brutality now spread through social media, which often only gives a clip of the situation but not the full story. “We don’t want the limited context and that’s why we have chosen to try using body cameras,” Adams said. “We are not alone in this endeavor. Many other police and law enforcement agencies are moving toward the same thing.” smswann@syr.edu

Members work with SU to start bus stop heat lamp trial By Danny Mantooth contributing writer
Starting next semester, Syracuse University will start a pilot program to put heat lamps at two campus bus stops. Members of Student Association met with SU administrators and the Department of Energy Systems and Sustainability Management on Friday to discuss details of the lamps and whether or not they will be implemented, said Aysha Seedat, director of student life for SA. However, SA must meet with the Department of Public Safety, Risk Management and Environment Health and Safety Services before the heat lamps can be put in place. SA will monitor the effectiveness of the heat lamps and get feedback through surveys in order to determine whether or not to expand their use, Seedat said. The organization wants to ultimately install heat lamps in bus stops across campus to “keep our students warm and frostbite free,” she said. “Heat lamps seem to be a much-needed and economically feasible addition to our transportation system,” Seedat said. Seedat added that the original plan involved having heat lamps at College Place as well as all South Campus stops. Heat lamps, like the ones SA is trying to implement, look very similar to regular overhead fluorescent lights, but as indicated by their name, radiate heat as well. The lamps have been used in other areas, including Chicago and
parts of Ohio as well as hospital entrances across the region, according to research done by SA. “Since this has been proven to work well in these environments, the Student Life Committee thought it would work well here,” Seedat said. Despite this, SA has contacted other colleges and universities with similar climates and found that none have a system such as the one they are proposing, she said. The Student Life Committee believes that the lamps would be both a success and an inspiration for other schools to adopt similar measures, Seedat added. Many students voiced their support for the idea, especially given that winter is right around the corner. Ines Lopez, a freshman elementary and secondary education major, said she thought putting heat lamps in all the bus stops would be smart given the climate. “I think it’s a good idea because the winter up here is super cold. If we’re going to wait for the bus, I might as well be warm,” Lopez said. Rachel Ghui, a freshman advertising major, said while the idea has its positives, there are drawbacks to consider. “You would have to monitor when it’s on because otherwise it could potentially be extremely energy inefficient,” she said. “Also the fact that it’s not in an enclosed area means there would be a lot of heat loss as well. I don’t think it’s a good idea to just get a heat lamp and put it in a bus stop.” dmantoot@syr.edu

year as a way to give back to the SU community. “The students have this opportunity to learn from working professionals and that opportunity was lost,” she said. Ethan Backer, a second-year graduate student in the MPD program, had du Cille as a coach during last year’s workshop and said he was looking forward to meeting with him again. He said he was disappointed when he learned du Cille had been disinvited. However, Backer said he understood that it was a tough decision that the administration had to make. “There was going to be an uproar and Syracuse was going to be in the news whether du Cille was allowed to come or not,” Backer said. Kahn said du Cille had taken precautions to make sure he did not have the disease, such as taking his temperature regularly. She said coming into contact with possible danger is part of her and du Cille’s jobs, but they are always extremely careful. Though 21 days has generally been considered the incubation period for Ebola, on Wednesday, the Washington Post published an article in which a Drexel University professor questioned whether 21 days was long enough to rule out the disease. Branham said a student who was planning to attend the workshop researched du Cille and learned he had been in Liberia. On Thursday morning, the student notified professor Bruce Strong, who ran the workshop, that he had concerns. Strong told Branham, who then spoke with Spina about the issue. Spina said he talked to the Onondaga County Health Commissioner, who said that it likely
wouldn’t be an issue if du Cille were on campus. But they agreed it wouldn’t be unreasonable to exercise caution and ask him not to come. The decision was then made to disinvite du Cille and Kahn. Branham called du Cille on Thursday to inform him of the decision. Du Cille said in an email that the most disappointing part of the decision is that it’s “a disservice to the fine journalism students” at the Newhouse School. “What a missed opportunity to teach future media professionals how to seek out accurate hard facts, backed up with full details about the Ebola crisis,” he said. “Instead they chose to pander to hysteria and perhaps xenophobia.” But Branham and Spina both said their priority was the safety of students and they didn’t want to take a chance. “In my mind this wasn’t a journalism decision,” Branham said. “I’m a dean of a college of 2,000 students and I couldn’t think like an editor.” “Some people say we’re feeding into the hysteria surrounding the disease but I don’t buy into that, given our primary concern should be our students,” Spina said. Branham said reactions to the decision were mixed. She said she received “solid support” from faculty and staff at Newhouse, as well as support from parents. Alumni reaction was mixed, but she added that she knew there wouldn’t be a consensus on the decision. In addition, Branham invited du Cille to come back in a couple weeks, where he can have a forum to discuss his work, irrational fears surrounding the disease and can criticize the decision if he wants. Du Cille said he’d think about coming back at a later time, and Branham said she’s hopeful that he will. blsamuel@syr.edu

GAME CHANGERS Otto’s Army holds annual football tournament to raise money for cancer research
By Erin McDonald staff writer
F
ollowing Orange Madness on Friday, the Carrier Dome was set up for a day of football that didn’t include any Division I athletes. On Sunday, Otto’s Army held its fourth annual flag football tournament for students in the Carrier Dome. The event, in which participating players donate $5 to play, raises money for the Jim and Juli Boeheim Foundation, an organization that supports cancer research in central New York. The official count of teams that played in this year’s tournament was 17, and each team had between six and eight players. Teams played games in 20-minute intervals throughout the day until the final game. New to this year’s tournament, a prize was given to the team that won the tournament, said Otto’s Army Vice President Natalie Wiesnet, a senior television, radio and film major. Participants in this year’s tournament raised a little more than $600. Much of the attraction to the tournament every year draws from the opportunity that students have to play football in the Carrier Dome, said Sean Fernandez, president of Otto’s Army and a senior finance major. The setup of the event, which consisted of several teams playing simultaneously on the divided Carrier Dome turf, was the same this year as it had been in previous years. This format has proven successful in the past and the amount of teams participating this year was also about the same as last year, Fernandez said. Overall, Sunday’s event was very successful and went smoothly, he said. This is the fourth annual flag football tournament that Otto’s Army has hosted in the Carrier Dome. Most of the planning was the same as in past years, so the organization of the event mainly consisted of setting a date with the Carrier Dome staff and reserving the equipment from recreation services. Otto’s Army also had to make sure that SU Ambulance would be available to attend the event in case of injury, Fernandez said. The event gave students a chance to stay

participated in the championship round and came in second place. Fernandez said one of the main goals of Otto’s Army is to create Orange spirit at every
Stadium and organized Orange Madness, an event to generate excitement for the upcoming basketball season, he said. In the upcoming months, Otto’s Army
plans to create hype for the basketball season and one of the biggest events that they have planned for the spring semester is the camp out in February for the 11 days prior to the men’s basketball game against Duke, Wiesnet said. The tournament itself was a positive experience, and those students that played in the tournament were less concerned with whether they win or lose, as long as they were supporting a good cause, said Alec Zoida, a sophomore secondary education and history major and member of the team that came in second place. Said Zoida: “We battle on the field in hopes that one day no one in central New York will have to battle cancer.” eemcdona@syr.edu

remembrance students on that flight who were returning from a semester studying abroad. The university honors and remembers the lives of these 35 students every year with a series of events called Remembrance Week, which starts on Monday. Suse Lowenstein started Dark Elegy a month after the bombing killed her son, Alex Lowenstein, a 21-year-old SU student who loved surfing and the outdoors and was always a fan of his mother’s sculptures. Dark Elegy was a way for Lowenstein to work through her grief. “The only way for me to keep sane was to use my hands and physically sculpt what I had experienced,” Lowenstein said. The sculptures, which are larger than life size, are all of women, though that was never Lowenstein’s intent. When she reached out to Pan Am Flight 103 groups looking for people willing to model, only women responded. She attributes that to differences in the way men and women grieve. “Men grieve just as much but in a different way,” she said. The coloring of the sculptures is significant too, with the most emotional statues portrayed in the lightest hues. All the women are also naked or, as Lowenstein prefers, unclothed.
dailyorange.com news@dailyorange.com
“I intentionally portrayed every figure stripped because when an act of terrorism of the magnitude of Pan Am 103 happens, every person involved is stripped to the same level,” she said. “Everyone is the same at that moment and I thought, what better way to portray them than stripped, literally.” She spent 15 years creating the memorial, spending a month or two on each sculpture,
It’s crazy how big it is. It’s really incredible to look around and think ‘these are all people that were affected.’ Samantha Lowenstein su freshman and granddaughter of sculptor
working first at her studio in Mendham, New Jersey and then at her home in Montauk, New York. The sculptures now reside in a sculpture garden behind the Lowenstein’s Long Island home, arranged in a circle 65 feet across. The memorial is open to visitors from 10 a.m. to noon every day and Lowenstein estimates that thousands of people have come to see the
sculptures over the last 10 years. Her granddaughter, Samantha Lowenstein, now a freshman at SU, remembers that the statues were always there when she went to visit her grandparents in New Jersey. She would watch her grandmother work on the sculptures and marvel at the amount of thought and effort put into them. “It’s crazy how big it is,” she said. “It’s really incredible to look around and think ‘these are all people that were affected.’” Before the memorial grew too large to transport, Dark Elegy was exhibited at various places in the New York and New Jersey area. The sculptures have come to campus three times, first in 1995, then in 1998 and finally in 2008. In 1998, Lowenstein had made about 40 sculptures and 35 of those were set up on the lawn in front of Lyman Hall on campus. Judy O’Rourke, director of the Office of Undergraduate Studies in Academic Affairs, who oversees the Remembrance Scholars program, remembers looking at the sculptures in front of Lyman and feeling overwhelmed. “It’s a tremendous expression of grief and pain,” she said. “I’m a mother and you can’t ever understand that but you can try and put yourself in someone else’s shoes and think about how you would feel.” While looking at the sculptures one day in
1998, O’Rourke recalls meeting a couple who had lost a loved one in an accidental plane crash. They too were moved by Dark Elegy and had experienced a similar grief. “It just resonates with people,” O’Rourke said. Lowenstein still hopes to find a permanent home for the memorial, one where people from all over the world can come and see the sculptures. Once a permanent location is found, Lowenstein and her husband will pay to cast the entire memorial in bronze, so it will endure over time. In 2008, the sculptures came close to finding a permanent home when the National Capital Memorial Advisory Commission considered Dark Elegy as part of its search to find a national monument to honor terrorist victims. But the commission ultimately rejected the statues, saying their nudity might offend some people or leave them liable to vandalism. The commission also told Lowenstein that the memorial was too specific to Pan Am Flight 103 and they were looking for a “more generic” monument. “Frankly, that was just something I so disagree with because there’s truly nothing generic that’s left behind after an act of terrorism,” she said. “Truly nothing generic at all. “I have a feeling that Dark Elegy was just too truthful.” jliannet@syr.edu | @JessicaIannetta

Nonprofit campaign launches 43rd annual United Way Campaign begins fundraising for programs By Jacob Gedetsis contributing writer
As students entered the Shine Student Center Thursday, Otto sprang into action, giving high fives, jumping up and down and going through all his signature moves. Students had the opportunity to take their picture with Otto and eat a piece of cake after giving a recommended donation of $5. The 43rd annual University United Way Campaign kicked off with the “Food and Photo” event. Otto the Orange was joined by event coordinator Peg Northrup and SU Food Services to start off this year’s campaign, which will last through December 15. MARC SCHOEBERLEIN directed the film “My Brother and Me,” which tells the story of his brother Evan’s fight against cancer. The film is set to premiere at the Palace Theatre in early November. courtesy of marc schoeberlein

Local Syracuse resident remembers brother through film By Brendan Krisel and Clare Ramirez the daily orange
O
ne Syracuse family didn’t bury its past. They recreated it. Evan Schoeberlein of Baldwinsville, New York passed away of a malignant cancer called Ewing’s sarcoma in 2008, bringing tragedy to his family. Years later, when his brother Marc Schoeberlein wanted to start a big project, Marc decided he wanted to do something that was close to his heart. The result was Marc Schoeberlein’s new film, “My Brother and Me,” which tells Evan’s story and shows what it’s like to experience tumultuous cancer treatment. The film, which Marc Schoeberlein directed, is scheduled to premiere at the Palace Theatre in November. The film’s proceeds will be donated to the Maureen’s Hope Foundation, which provides support for people who are going through treatment or who have family members going through treatment, and Paige’s Butterfly Run, which raises funds for pediatric cancer research. Marc Schoeberlein spent roughly three months writing the script and began a crowdfunding campaign to raise money for the film. His goal was $5,000, but donations
amounted to $8,000. “That’s when I was like, ‘Oh my gosh, I could actually do this,’” Marc Schoeberlein said. “From there, I just kept working at it and put together the cast and crew, and at that point, it was kind of a real indie production.”
The fact that these people wanted to get involved makes the production that much more professional and much more meaningful. Marc Schoeberlein director
Finding the crew was a quick process because it was comprised of friends or mutual friends who had backgrounds in filmmaking, Marc Schoeberlein said. But casting actors took longer because it involved networking and holding auditions. The Syracuse community was also involved in the see brothers page 14
“Otto made me stop, he was very convincing, and the money goes to a good cause,” said freshman Tyler Impey, an aerospace engineer major. Faculty could partake in the festivities if they brought a completed pledge card, which was sent to them earlier in the week by Chancellor Kent Syverud. Additionally, faculty members can make a paperless donation right directly from their payroll, as the United Way is the only nonprofit that the university officially partners with. The campaign typically raises over $200,000, but often the United Way is unable to meet all the financial needs expressed. Northrup said the University Campaign is “more inspired than ever to meet this demand.” The United Way of Central New York can trace its roots all the way back to World War I. In June 1917, Walter R.

‘House of DVF’ TV show to challenge fashion industry stereotypes
W
hen Diane von Furstenberg talks, you listen. The designer and prestigious global fashion icon, known for her iconic wrap dresses and her contagiously positive attitude, has a new project for her fans this fall. With a reality TV show coming on E! — “House of DVF,” premiering Nov. 2 — we’re in for a dazzling dose of DVF. When I heard von Furstenberg was doing reality TV, I let out a sigh of relief. Not only will there finally be a new face on E! Sunday nights, but she will introduce the quality of her brand and mission statement while showing the audience that entertaining reality shows about women aren’t always filled with screaming matches and
ZOE MALLIAROS
RUNNING IN HEELS mascara running down everybody’s face — i.e. “The Real Housewives of New Jersey.” Some may jump to the conclusion that von Furstenberg agreed to the show for publicity. In some cases that may be true, but she doesn’t need it. The only negative aspect of the show is the fashion bandwagoners it will attract. Watching one TV show won’t make you an expert on the business of fashion, but viewers have a lot to learn from von Furstenberg.
The new series, set in von Furstenberg’s world, explores the relationships between an ultra-successful boss who controls the fashion world and her eight eager-to-please associates in training. Culminating at New York Fashion Week, one winner will ultimately get the highly sought-after, yet demanding opportunity to work directly with von Furstenberg for one year as her Global Brand Ambassador. Von Furstenberg made it her mission to differentiate “House of DVF” from other competitive reality shows by imparting positive messages to empower women. Many shows today highlight the bitter nature of women and pin them against each other, creating hostile environments and building false stereotypes. Sure, it can be entertaining, but this portrayal has been done too much. The cat fight nature of these shows is absent from “House of DVF,” as the designer is giving her contestants tasks pertinent to the job they’re competing for. “Honestly one of the things that I deplore about some of the shows on television is that they objectify the woman and they make you say, if you’re a b*tch, you win,” she said at her media preview, according to Style.com. “And that was a very important point, that you don’t have to be a b*tch to win.” This is a far cry from other fashion-related reality shows like “The City,” which von Furstenberg previously appeared on. “The City” focused on the competitive and mean nature of women in the fashion industry and almost promoted these notorious attitudes. “House of DVF” is the polar opposite and wishes to eliminate the negative stigma associated with working in fashion.
In 2011, I was lucky enough to hear von Furstenberg speak at Harvard University. She highlighted the same themes as in her recent interviews. She discussed the importance of empowering women in the fashion industry and encouraging their best work by demonstrating positive reinforcement instead of shaming them for the ways they look. Prior to her appearance at Harvard’s forum, von Furstenberg had been in a skiing accident where she suffered a broken nose. She didn’t jump to the conclusion that she needed a nose job. Instead, she gave herself optimal rest to bring her body back looking and feeling better. It was refreshing to observe von Furstenberg in that state, encouraging women to embrace themselves no matter what physical damage they have endured, and I can only hope she will continue to spread her ideals on the show. Many women working in this industry based on fantasy strive to eliminate imperfections instead of embracing them wholeheartedly. Von Furstenberg is the real deal. Her past projects combined with the themes for “House of DVF” prove her to be one of the leading ladies of fashion. She believes in women and she acts upon those beliefs. There’s no doubt her show will be a hit. It has the power to show viewers a real side of the fashion industry that has been misconstrued through movies like “The Devil Wears Prada.” Like she says, “You don’t have to be a b*tch to be successful.” Zoe Malliaros is a sophomore advertising major.

Marshall Street restaurant offers tasty, savory crepes
By Rohan Thakore staff writer
N
o other restaurant on Marshall Street looks quite like it. Distinguished with its pink and brown palette, spray-painted exterior sign and the wafting smell of warm dough, Crepe and Gelato Boulevard leaves a lasting impression on this small stretch of street. Crepe and Gelato Boulevard’s sign on the front of the building, a clever play on a scoop of gelato and a cone-shaped crepe, highlights the aesthetic found throughout the interior. The words espresso bar are prominently written across the top, suggesting this place could be another reputable coffee shop in town. The first thing you notice as you enter is how much of a street feel the place has. Graffiti and street art adorn every wall. They feature vivid color schemes and murals with a brick pattern repeating throughout the store. Street lamps, concrete flooring with yellow direction arrows and wooden benches, tables and chairs solidify the fact that this place uses its namesake as its biggest inspiration. However, the lack of seating in an otherwise empty space could be a problem for a large group. A large display case next to the counter is another striking feature of the place. It’s full of gelato. A colorful array with a multitude of sweet selections is a welcoming site for any visitor. Flavors included classics like chocolate, vanilla, raspberry and coffee. There are also more adventurous options like peanut butter and jelly. Considering that it’s an espresso bar, its coffee menu is pretty extensive. Serving Lavazza coffee, an Italian brand, Crepe and Gelato Boulevard serves a fair amount of specialty cold and hot beverages. Cappuccinos, espresso shots, lattes or even a regular coffee would go great with any of their crepe selections. They even offer an affogato, which is espresso with a scoop of gelato. To try a variety of items, I ordered both sweet and savory selections. A buffalo chicken ranch crepe sounded great as a lunchtime crepe, while the gelato panini and a classic French crepe would serve nicely for dessert. The buffalo chicken crepe was a tasty layering of flavors. Warm chicken and fresh bacon meshed well with spinach. The top of the crepe was finished with a warm ranch sauce.

chicken, although some of the corners got a little too thin. The tanginess of the ranch was a nice compliment with the saltiness of the bacon. The spinach brought a nice, green con-
trast as well. It was a solid lunchtime treat. The gelato panini, which is simply a disk of warm dough stuffed with flavored gelato, was overly sweet and runny. The dough itself wasn’t the right consistency, turning soggy quickly — most likely because it was filled with cold gelato. The cheesecake-flavored gelato was OK, but the top layer was a rich coating of strawberry jam that wasn’t as good as the gelato itself. The top of the panini was coated in powered sugar, and the entire dessert was served in a makeshift cardboard container. The French crepe was definitely the star of the show. A warm, slightly crunchy crepe was stuffed with Nutella, strawberries and
bananas. Warm chocolate and powdered sugar was generously drizzled on top. It’s a classic combination, and that’s why it tasted great. The fruit was fresh, the Nutella had its own distinct flavor and the crepe was cooked thinly and served warm. My only complaint was that the filling was only in the bottom of the crape, so the top portion was just dough. It kept sliding around on the plate as a result. A truly unique atmosphere coupled with tasty desserts and warm coffee is a draw for any college student. And considering Crepe and Gelato Boulevard is only a short walk from campus, it could end up being a guilty late night snack for many. rythakor@syr.edu

brothers production of “My Brother and Me.” Aside from making donations to Marc Schoeberlein’s Crowdfunding campaign, community members donated their time and resources to his film, from lending him a real ambulance to allowing him to film at a local hospital. “The fact that these people wanted to get involved makes the production that much more professional and that much more meaningful,” Marc Schoeberlein said. “It was continuing that idea of the community supporting this — the community helped start it and helped create it.” Warren Schoeberlein, Marc Schoeberlein’s father, was heavily involved in the production of the film. Warren Schoeberlein built a lot of the equipment that was used, including dollies and mounts for the cameras. But Warren Schoeberlein did more than just build equipment. Marc Schoeberlein’s father said another role he held was being a producer — he was involved in the business aspects of the film. Warren Schoeberlein added that the cast and crew were fortunate to be able to enjoy the experience of working with each other and shooting around the Syracuse area. “Because it was all volunteer cast and crew, it was a lot of fun,” Warren Schoeberlein said. “We had friends, a sense of community, sense of comradeship.” For both Marc and Warren Schoeberlein, making the film was a healing experience. Marc Schoeberlein said he was initially unsure of how he would feel about the project, but described it as cathartic, giving him an opportunity to reflect on what happened. Warren Schoeberlein said dealing with tragedy or catastrophe as it happens is overwhelming — it’s like a tsunami. But being involved in the movie allowed him to see the past from a distance. “You come to grips with it a little better, having the distance and the slowed-down timeframe to deal with things,” Warren

Schoeberlein said. “It was a kind of healing that takes that real edge off of having experienced the real events — to see them in a more controlled environment.” Matthew Walker, who worked as part of the crew as a “grip,” said his role involved helping set up the equipment and filming the auditions. He called himself Marc Schoeberlein’s secondhand man. Walker knew the Schoeberlein family through his brother and mother. He said he decided to participate in the project to gain filming experience and help out for a good cause. “It was tremendously valuable, and I learned a lot,” Walker said. “It put me in touch with a lot of great people (and I) got a lot of friends out of it.” Amelia Favata, who plays Marc Schoeberlein’s girlfriend in the film, was one of the first actors to be cast. She said this film was one of her favorite projects that she has been involved in, giving credit to the friends she has made and the experience she has had on set. Favata added that as she learned more about the characters, she became more engaged in the film. By getting to know Marc Schoeberlein and his family on a personal level, she now considers them like her own. “Everyone involved, for the most part, was emotionally attached on some level,” Favata said. “It kind of motivated everyone to really give it their all, to do their best, try to portray these characters and try to elicit an emotional response from people.” Warren Schoeberlein also called the film “a very honest movie” that has the chance to illuminate and educate its audience. Even though the movie has personal elements for him, he believes that audiences can grow upon the message it sends. “Sometimes tragedy pulls family apart, and in this case, tragedy pulled the family together,” Warren Schoeberlein said. “All those little messages wrapped up in what is a very real approach to this, I think, will have value for people.” bskrisel@syr.edu clramire@syr.edu
donated more than $1.5 million to the United Way to help local nonprofit organizations. Now students can expect to see fundraising events taking place on campus throughout the year in which they will be able to participate in, Northrup said. “What students and visitors will see are events in all the buildings throughout the fall, like bake sales, lunch sales, the iSchool does a fundraiser where you can ‘Pet a Pup’ if you are missing your dog from home — it’s fun,” Northrup said. “It’s an opportunity for staff and students to come together for the community… Events also allow students and faculty to blow off a little steam and have fun.” Each college contacts Northrup throughout the semester to organize individual events, although she still arranging the logistics of each event. All money raised through the campaign is distributed by United Way to 34 local non-profits and 91 local programs. These agencies include the Boys and Girls Clubs of Syracuse, LiteracyCNY and the Food Bank of Central New York. Northrup added that the campaign hopes to leverage the power of social media as they created the hashtag #unitedsu. They want to create a philanthropic buzz around campus and want to increase their presence online. jagedets@syr.edu

SU ties Huskies after Sibley goal with .1 left in regulation By Jack Rose staff writer
Syracuse forward Alysha Burriss turned around and saw her teammates mob each other in front of the Connecticut goal. Goalie Jenn Gilligan almost fell off the bench. The Orange had just tied the game with .1 seconds remaining connecticut 2 in the third period. syracuse 2 “It was a reward for the team for the way they handled the third period,” SU head coach Paul Flanagan said. After trailing for the entire third period, center Jessica Sibley forced home a goal just before the buzzer sounded to send Syracuse (1-1-4) into overtime against Connecticut (2-32). An active second period yielded three goals between the teams but the Orange was the only team to score again as it tied the Huskies, 2-2, in front of 187 at Tennity Ice Pavilion on Sunday evening. With the result, the Orange has tied four straight games. With 1:16 left in the third and his team trailing by one, Flanagan called a timeout and pulled his goalie, Gilligan, leaving six skaters on the ice. “You try to execute a play, which is basically get pucks on net,” he said of the team’s strategy with a pulled goalie. “Just try to make a play, get pucks on net, crash the net, maybe get an ugly one down low.” For 60 seconds, the Orange couldn’t do any of that. Off the initial faceoff, the Huskies quickly cleared the puck into the Syracuse zone. Syra-
cuse defenders chased it down and brought the puck back through the neutral zone and into the attacking third, but SU was called offside. Connecticut won the faceoff in the neutral zone and again sent the puck toward the empty Orange net. “Mild heart attack on the bench,” Gilligan said. But the puck was stopped just short of the net she wasn’t defending and SU again looked to bring the puck forward, now with less than 30 seconds remaining. SU center Stephanie Grossi fired a shot from the right wing that Huskie goalie Annie Belanger saved. Seconds later, a faceoff was called and the clock showed less than 12 seconds remaining. But after a short discussion, the referees chose to add an extra second to the clock. “We were lucky that we had that second added back on the clock,” Flanagan said. “Thank goodness.” On the ensuing faceoff, Sibley won possession in the left circle and worked the puck around to the right, eventually finding Burriss on the wing. Knowing the clock was running down, Burriss hurried a wrist shot on net as Sibley moved in and got her stick on the puck, tipping it in as the buzzer sounded. “I didn’t see it go in,” said Burriss, who used her teammates’ reactions to judge the outcome of the play. The officials called on the replay system that may have cost the Orange a game on Saturday, when a malfunctioning camera cost

Syracuse a goal. Burriss said the players were “pretty sure it went in” on Sunday, but Flanagan was skeptical. “It’ll work today, but it’ll work against us,” he said. But he was wrong. The referee came back on the ice and sliced his arm down, pointing toward the net and indicating the goal was good.
The Orange crowd came to life in overtime, as SU’s defense didn’t allow a single shot on goal. Though SU managed five, Syracuse wasn’t able to put home a winner. “It’s frustrating,” Sibley said. “We just need to keep doing the little things, that’s for sure. “Not satisfied with the tie, we need Ws.” jlrose@syr.edu

Orange fails to generate chances in scoreless loss to UND By Liam Sullivan staff writer
Syracuse goalkeeper Courtney Brosnan leaned over, squatted and pounded both of her hands into the ground in front of her in frustration. Kaleigh Olmsted had just threaded a ball across through the box on the ground and Brosnan managed notre dame 2 to get a hand on it. syracuse 0 But Notre Dame’s Cari Roccaro ultimately found the ball, and quickly got a shot off that hit the top of the crossbar and landed in the goal before Brosnan could react. That gave the visiting Fighting Irish a lead in the 69th minute, one it wouldn’t relinquish. “The girl spun around a defender on the outside and played a cross I thought I had to come to,” Brosnan said when asked about the goal. “I couldn’t really catch it because it was a little farther out and I just tried to block it and carry it away as far as possible. “I guess we weren’t marked on the second round and then the girl just came in and finished.” It was only a matter of time before No. 13 Notre Dame (10-4-1, 5-2-0 Atlantic Coast) took the lead over Syracuse (5-8-3, 2-5-0), as the Fighting Irish totaled 21 shots before Roccaro found the back of the net on a wet, cold and windy Saturday night. Syracuse allowed a total of 30 shots in what ended in a 2-0 loss in front of 261 at SU Soccer Stadium, while only
shooting twice itself. The disparity in shots was consistent throughout the game, as Notre Dame was able to shoot 11 times in the first period and 19 in the second frame. Both of the Notre Dame goals came in the second half. “Sometimes stats can be a little misleading, but (the Fighting Irish) were dominant,” SU head coach Phil Wheddon said. “They were dominant in attack, and I give them credit for that. Like I said, their forwards are good and their midfielders exceptional.” The game’s second goal came on a shot from Olmstead. The ball broke free from a

scrum of both Orange and Notre Dame players, and Olmstead found herself with the ball in space before firing a shot from the top-left
side of the box that was out of Brosnan’s diving reach. “She couldn’t have done anything for the shots that were taken and the goals that were scored. Those ones are on us,” said junior midfielder Jackie Firenze. “We should’ve stepped in front and we should’ve blocked those shots.” The Orange defense once again found itself being peppered by the opponents’ attack and received zero goals from the offense for the fourth time in five games. Notre Dame has now shut out opponents in five of its last six games and Syracuse’s best chance was a shot by freshman defender-midfielder Jessica Vigna 41 minutes into the first half. Vigna was forced into a slide from a Fighting Irish defender and sent a shot toward the bottom-right side of the goal, which Notre Dame goalkeeper Kaela Little dove to save. Syracuse’s only other shot came from defender Maddie Iozzi from about 30 yards out. All Little had to do to make her second and final save of the night was lift her arms up to catch the ball. “Definitely when there’s (30) shots to under five, it’s going to be hard to win the game. The defense can only hold on for so long,” Brosnan said. “We need to get something going on the offensive side and connect up in the final third. I think that’s our problem right now.” Lpsull01@syr.edu

Syracuse put up 30 points, but only six came from the offense. AJ Long’s scramble accounted for the only offensive touchdown, but the Orange had to settle for three field goals due to more red-zone blunders and lack of execution.

Every other team in the country averaged more total yards per game and rushing yards per game than Wake Forest did coming into Saturday’s matchup. So don’t feel too jazzed up about SU exploiting the Demon Deacons’ turnstile of an offensive line and getting free shots at the quarterback.

Holding an opponent to less than 100 yards of rushing is still impressive but considering it’s Wake Forest, let’s take that with a grain of salt.

Wlaszczuk sets up multiple hitters in straight-set victory By Jon Mettus staff writer
Syracuse head coach Leonid Yelin looked at the final box score and couldn’t believe what he saw. “I never seen this number,” Yelin said. “Lindsay (McCabe) was .700 hitting percentage. That’s a lot. And Monika (Salkute), I never seen her, out of 29, she got wake forest 0 more sets than even syracuse 3 outside hitter Silvi (Uattara) — which usually Silvi getting much more — and she was hitting over .400.” Four different players also had at least five kills, due in large part to the play of junior setter Gosia Wlaszczuk. Because of injuries to outside hitters Nicolette Serratore and Valeriya Shaipova, Syracuse has struggled all season to find any viable attacking options aside from Uattara. But Syracuse (8-12, 1-7 Atlantic Coast), mostly Wlaszczuk, spread the ball around to many different hitters in a 3-0 win over Wake Forest (12-9, 2-5) in the Women’s Building on Sunday. “Sometimes I can see that my players are down and some people are on fire so I have to

notebook need to make sure the team ends up with points. “We weren’t that aggressive in a couple of situations because you don’t have to be … That’s the way we called it.” With a 20-7 lead in the third quarter, the Orange struck out on another red-zone chance. Running back Devante McFarlane exploded through a gap and took a handoff 86 yards before getting tripped up at WFU’s 5-yard line. On the next play, Long dropped in a wouldbe touchdown pass to Ishmael, but an offensive pass interference flag brought SU up to the 20.
It’s just fun having the defense out there. We’re a close-knit group and once you get those guys out there, they’re a wild pack of dogs as Welsh likes to say. AJ Long su quarterback
Two Ervin Philips touches and a Long overthrow intended for Quinta Funderburk later, Syracuse settled for another field goal. Said Lester: “We’ve just got to continue to work on it. It’s not easy down there.”
Orange effectively uses jumbo package The jumbo package self-destructed against Florida State. Against Wake Forest, it gave Syracuse its only offensive touchdown and a lead it never relinquished in the win. In the short-yardage formation that SU ran twice, the quarterback goes under center with defensive linemen Ron Thompson and Micah Robinson lead blocking for a running back and defensive end Robert Welsh lining up at tight end. The package that adds defense to offense is
go with people who I know will finish for me,” Wlaszczuk said. “Today, I had confidence to set to every single hitter of mine. They were all doing (a) great job so I just wanted to use them all as much as I could.” In the first set, when SU needed one more point to win, Wlaszczuk turned to Salkute, a middle blocker, for the final kill. Salkute took Wlaszczuk’s long set and smashed it into the arms of the Wake Forest libero, Caroline Wolf, whose dig attempt sent the ball flying over the visitors’ bench. When the Demon Deacons scored five straight points in the second set — two on service aces and three on SU attack errors — Wlaszczuk went to Salkute again, who hit one just inside the line. “I feel great because I feel like I’m more involved in helping the team,” Salkute said. “I really feel confident that Gosia is setting for me ... and that I’m responsible for the kills.” With two points to go in the set, McCabe, a middle blocker, knocked down a kill and then Uattara ended it with one of her own. McCabe finished with eight kills on the day and had her highest hitting percentage of the season. Uattara tallied nine kills and Salkute
had 14 for her first double-digit kill performance in almost a month.
improving for Syracuse — but it’s also evolving. “We still got to get better at it, but it was good to get it out there and hopefully just kind of get the kinks out of it,” Lester said. In the jumbo with just over eight minutes left in the first, Gulley took a handoff to the inside left and ran behind Robinson and Thompson for 1 yard as Wake Forest collapsed the line of scrimmage. On the next play, on the Wake Forest 4-yard line, Long faked the same play before rolling right. Welsh then pushed would-be tackler Steve Donatell wide of the SU quarterback as Long ran into the near-right corner of the end zone. The Orange tried to debut the formation in the second quarter of its 38-20 loss to then-No. 1 FSU, but Thompson jumped offside, killing off the set Lester had introduced when he took over as offensive coordinator. “There was a big smile on my face,” Robinson said of when Lester approached him about playing on offense. “I couldn’t hold it back. I was like, ‘Wow, really?’” After Saturday’s game, Robinson said he’s only in the formation to block and that there aren’t any plays designed for him to get the ball. But as little works for Syracuse in the red zone, the jumbo package is at least starting to. “It’s just fun having the defense out there,” Long said. “We’re a close-knit group and once you get those guys out there, they’re a wild pack of dogs as Welsh likes to say.”
final tally on third-down conversions was 9-of19 — 47.4 percent — in its defeat of Wake Forest. It allowed Syracuse’s offense to rack up 370 total yards and although the red-zone attack reached the end zone just once, the Orange tacked on enough points to sweep the Demon Deacons away without much resistance. “We kept converting on third down and that’s hard to do as a quarterback,” Lester said. “… We’re getting better on third down and just got to keep working on the red zone.” During one stretch in the first half, SU earned a new set of downs on six out of seven third downs, with Long accounting for all but one with his feet or arm. Long was especially impressive handling a pair of third-and-11s on SU’s second drive. He connected with Ishmael on the right to convert the first and scrambled left to find his cousin Jarrod West three plays later for the second. In the third quarter, Long and Ishmael linked up for a 33-yard gain on third-and-14. But the trick was not making those long-
Sometimes I can see that my players are down and some people are on fire so I have to go with people who I know will finish for me. Today, I had confidence to set to every single hitter of mine. They were all doing (a) great job so I just wanted to use them all as much as I could.. Gosia Wlaszczuk su setter
Wlaszczuk passed the ball well, finishing with 30 assists — her most in a three-set game since September. In the last two sets, she assisted each of the final two kills. She was also successful in keeping the
defense off balance by faking a hit and setting the ball for one of her hitters. “I can’t feel more satisfied, like when I would pretend I’m hitting and I would set and then Lindsay would hammer the ball at the 10-foot line,” Wlaszczuk said. “It’s just the best feeling ever. I’m happy whenever I trick them and I’m trying to do that more.” Offensive success hinges upon more than just one player completing a kill, Yelin said, before adding that it requires good passing and the involvement of a lot of skills and players. Aside from the assists, Wlaszczuk also contributed with five kills. One came when she jumped as if to set the ball, then smashed it down on the other side of the net, prompting the PA announcer to yell, “Gosia Wlaszczuk with the lefty sky hook.” Though Yelin was pleased with the play of his offense — and his setter specifically — he also saw room for improvement. Said Yelin of Wlaszczuk: “Overall she did really good anyway, but I can see a lot and I want them to understand how much more potential we have.” jrmettus@syr.edu
distance situations a habit. “We didn’t get in too many third-andlongs,” left tackle Sean Hickey said. “That’s the key. If you get in third-and-long, it’s kind of over. Whenever you’re in third-and-medium, third-and-short, you make it manageable and it gets a lot easier.” On the Orange’s only offensive touchdown drive, SU only moved the chains on four third downs before Long punched the ball in from 4 yards out. Lester had a hard time picking out another area of improvement he saw in Long aside from third-down execution. But considering SU converted 6-of-10 against Florida State on Oct. 11, that’s no knock on his true freshman quarterback. “Last week we were really good on third down,” Lester said shortly after Saturday’s game. “I don’t know what we were today, but I’m willing to bet it was pretty good.” pmdabbra@syr.edu | @PhilDAbb jmklinge@syr.edu | @Jacob_Klinger_
SU picks up 3rd-down efficiency rate Throughout Long’s up-and-down performance as a first-time starter, offensive coordinator Lester said moving the chains on third down was his most consistent improvement from a week prior. Head coach Scott Shafer has pinpointed a 45 percent third-down conversion rate as SU’s goal. In the first half on Saturday, his offense blew away its actual percentage through six games, 33.4, as well as Shafer’s target figure, nailing six of its nine first-half attempts on third down. After a conservative second half, the Orange’s

d’abbraccio then-No. 8 Notre Dame on Sept. 27. For a team that squeezed five takeaways out of the Fighting Irish, anything less than a turnover-filled destruction of Wake Forest would’ve been a drop-off for the consistent Orange defense. Still, the Syracuse defense can’t carry this team to a bowl game if the Syracuse offense continues to shoot itself in the foot in the red zone. The penalties inside the 20 have to stop at some point, right? If not for the Orange’s two defensive scores against Wake Forest, we might’ve had to hear Shafer again tell us that the reason for SU’s red-zone struggles is, too simply, not getting the ball over the goal line. We’ve
heard that one too many times. Three field goals in your first four redzone trips doesn’t cut it, and you can’t bank on your defense to score two touchdowns against Clemson next weekend or down the road. Fortunately for the Orange, that insurance worked against Wake Forest. “The past four weeks, we haven’t been the best team,” quarterback AJ Long said. “We haven’t put together a whole game. Today, thankfully we were able to put a game together enough that we could win. But we still have to do better than this.” I agree. So now go back down to the Carolinas next weekend and beat a real opponent. Phil D’Abbraccio is an assistant sports editor at The Daily Orange, where his column appears occasionally.

INSTON-SALEM, N.C. — Let’s not get crazy here. To put it frankly, Syracuse (3-4, 1-2 Atlantic Coast) hit the road and embarrassed Wake Forest (2-5, 0-3) 30-7 on Saturday, snapping a four-game losing streak in the process. SU did a lot of things right on both sides of the ball and starting the second half of the season 1-0 is worth something. “It was a must-win,” left tackle Sean Hickey said adamantly. “One hundred percent a must-win. If we’d have lost — I don’t know. But it was a must-win and we got it.” Yet Wake Forest is — almost admittedly — not an accurate model to go up against, so let’s not put too much stock in the blowout. SU and Wake Forest have to

But it should be clear that the Demon Deacons are not the type of opponent you can turn your season around against. “Today is as disappointed as I’ve been,” WFU head coach Dave Clawson said after the game. “We are in the first step of building the program. “… We are seven games into the season and our longest play is 36 yards. We do not have skilled players to make explosive plays to take the pressure off the offense to
execute perfectly.” Leading up to the game, Syracuse defensive coordinator Chuck Bullough alluded to Wake Forest’s rebuilding process and head coach Scott Shafer pointed to the bye week — the bye week — as a reason to expect a tough offensive game plan from WFU. The Demon Deacons were barely an admirable opponent when they brought their established offensive weapons, four-year starter Tanner Price and slot machine Michael Campanaro, to the Carrier Dome last year. Price completed just 41 percent of his passes and took three sacks, Campanaro left with a season-ending broken collarbone and SU won an ugly, ugly game, 13-0.

WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. — Cole Murphy accounted for more points than the Syracuse offense did. As the Orange (3-4, 1-2 Atlantic Coast) kept the theme of the season alive by repeatedly stalling out in the red zone, SU’s placekicker outscored the rest of the offense in Syracuse’s 30-7 thumping of Wake Forest (2-5, 0-3) on Saturday. Quarterback AJ Long finished off SU’s only touchdown drive by bringing it into the end zone himself, but the rest of the Orange’s points came from its pouncing defense and Murphy’s three field goals. “It’s a constant struggle and we’re going to work on it,” offensive coordinator Tim Lester said. “Everywhere I’ve been, when you’re putting in an offense, first you learn to move the ball. Then you learn how to be good on third down. “And then you learn how to play in the red zone.” Seven games into the season, the Orange is second to last in the ACC — the Demon Deacons own the bottom spot — with 10 redzone touchdowns. On its second drive Saturday, the unit got stuck when a Prince-Tyson Gulley handoff went for a minimal gain and Long threw two incompletions. Murphy salvaged the possession with a 32-yard field goal. During Syracuse’s first drive of the second half, a 33-yard chuck from Long to receiver Steve Ishmael moved SU inside the 15, but Long took a sack at the 21 two plays later and Murphy came back out two plays later to hit a 41-yard attempt. “At that point, it’s not about, ‘Oh, we need to get better in the red zone,’” Lester said. “It’s, ‘We see notebook page 18
