ooking around the Syracuse Green Party headquarters, it is exactly how you would expect a campaign office to look. Stacks of brochures that outline the party’s

platform are spread across tables, lawn signs line the walls ready to disperse and whiteboards display scribbled notes comparing its candidates to the opposition.

But at the center of the room sit seven people fighting to win an elec-

tion — all gathered on a Saturday afternoon to go door knocking in the Westcott neighborhood. The candidates and volunteers work together, engaging in real conversations over coffee and bagels.

The party is counting down to

UBE, SU administration collaborate after survey’s release

By Maggie Cregan ASST. NEWS EDITOR

Undergraduates for a Better Education is working with the administration and Graduate Student Organization to turn the results of their recent student survey into progress.

After releasing a report that found more than 60 percent of Syracuse University students are dissatisfied

with TAs’ ability to help students learn, Co-presidents Emily Ballard and Sawyer Cresap met with Interim Chancellor Eric Spina and Associate Provost Andria Costello Staniec Monday to discuss ways to improve undergraduate education.

The administration worked with UBE last spring, helping them produce the survey. In the first follow-up meet-

ing since the report was released, UBE showed the administration the entire range of comments given in response to the survey, Costello Staniec said. She added that the administration wants to continue working with UBE, though no date has been established yet for another meeting.

Ballard also met with GSO President Patrick Neary and Director of

ACC move increases ticket sales

By Zach Schweikert STAFF WRITER

Since moving to the Atlantic Coast Conference from the Big East, ticket sales for Syracuse University sports have increased, with basketball ticket sales already surpassing last year’s numbers.

There are a number of factors contributing to these increases in sales, said Joe Giansante, the executive senior associate athletics director.

“There are the high end teams, especially in football, that we didn’t have in the Big East as far as the rankings go,” Giansante said about the ACC. “I think just the quality overall is obviously better.

The other part is that it’s new, and people haven’t seen this at the Dome before.”

Another factor that increased the demand for tickets is high anticipation regarding this year’s football and basketball schedules, he said.

None of this comes as a surprise to Giansante, who said that after doing the research, SU Athletics expected its profits to increase with the conference change. With more people attending games, more merchandise, food and beverages will also be sold, further increasing profits, he said.

The number of football and basketball season tickets sold this year has already exceeded last year’s sales, said Jeremiah Maher, associate athletics director for ticket operations. He added that this year’s homecoming football game against Clemson University drew the largest crowd to the Dome since the early 2000s.

“The move to the ACC has provided a tougher schedule with better opponents and obviously those kind of games lead to more fan interest,” said Maher.

The addition of teams from Duke University and University of North Carolina have led to what Maher considers the best schedule the men’s basketball team has had in years.

Maher added that much of this increase is correlated with the men’s basketball team’s successful 2013 season. With last year’s frenzy surrounding the success of the team, he said that the tickets are “almost selling themselves.”

Maher said increased ticket sales show the enthusiasm of the community regarding the conference change.

Columnist discusses meaning of patriotism, community

By Anna Merod STAFF WRITER

To Eric Liu, students must reject political bias and reclaim a sense of community in order to become truly patriotic citizens.

Liu, a Time columnist and educator, spoke on “The True Meaning of Patriotism” at Hendricks Chapel on Tuesday as part of the University Lecture series. Liu spoke about why some people find it difficult to accept and claim patriotism, and defined the true meaning of patriotism as the principle of showing up.

Liu shared his background as a

second-generation immigrant from China living in New York state, and how he later began to understand and appreciate the opportunities his parents worked for him to have in the United States.

Left-wing ideologists gain a negative view of the word “patriotism,” Liu said, because rightwing media most frequently use the word.

But the true spirit of patriotism lies in recognizing the opportunities Americans have as citizens and their obligation to give back, Liu said.

“It’s no longer a matter of waving a flag, and saying we’re No. 1,”

“It’s no longer a matter of waving a flag and saying we’re No. 1, it’s when every one of us decides to show up.”

Eric Liu

TIME COLUMNIST AND EDUCATOR

said Liu, “it’s when every one of us decides to show up.”

Choices made to ignore how communities and government work are counterproductive to finding solutions, Liu said.

“We must learn how to think in systems as citizens,” Liu said. He advised students to learn about how the government functions and to stay informed on current events, both national and local.

Liu said that anyone can simply start a movement or change the way we think in society by encouraging others to find and use their voice.

“Figure out who is the choir you’re going to talk to,” Liu said.

Student catering service to bring downtown specialties to campus

By Tom Sharkey CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Syracuse University students will soon be able to enjoy many of Armory Square’s fine dining hot spots without leaving their dorm rooms.

Syracuse Catering, or SyrCa, is a food delivery business that delivers food from downtown restaurants to the University Hill area, said Hannah Fagut, creator of SyrCa. Memberships will be available starting

in the spring semester.

Fagut, a junior psychology and neuroscience major, said she wanted to come up with a business model that would cater to anybody on the hill. This includes students and employees at State University of New York Upstate Medical University, who want to enjoy downtown cuisine with a newfound sense of convenience.

She was frustrated with the Marshall Street food scene and the lack

of options for fine dining on the hill, and that drove her to start SyrCa, Fagut said.

A membership fee of $75 per semester or $200 per year is required for anyone to enjoy SyrCa’s services, but for those who plan to order delivery even once per week, membership pays for itself in no time, she said.

Members will be able to order food from a number of local restaurants

Obama administration should not be blamed for struggles with website launch

R

epublicans have unfairly jumped at the opportunity to criticize the Obama administration following recent problems with the implementation of Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare.

On Oct. 1, healthcare.gov — one of the landmark achievements of the legislation — went live as key provisions of the 2010 law went into effect.

But the launch of the website, which allows people to shop and apply for health insurance plans, has been met with issues.

According to an article published by The New York Times on Monday, the site has experienced “serious technical issues” that have prevented many from even accessing the online insurance portal.

The delays have put Republicans in the awkward position of both rooting for the failure of the law’s implementation and criticizing the Obama administration for not implementing it smoothly enough.

Some prominent Republicans, such as Virginia gubernatorial candidate Ken Cuccinelli, have even called for the firing of Kathleen Sebelius, the Secretary of Health and Human Services.

DAVID SWENTON

left is the new right “This launch has been a national embarrassment, but it’s just a symptom of much bigger problems. I believe President Obama ought to fire Kathleen Sebelius,” said Cuccinelli, according to a report on Slate.com.

It seems fairly contradictory to oppose Obamacare on its merits and focus efforts on repealing it and challenging it in federal court, then turn around and criticize those in charge of implementing it.

But that’s exactly what Republicans are doing.

The government shutdown debacle is done, and they failed to block health care reform from taking effect. Now, the right wing will turn its collective attention to identifying difficulties in its implementation and make noise about these imperfections.

When will the levels of criticism and com-

plaining be enough for Republicans?

Sadly, it probably won’t be until they’ve recaptured the White House. And this doesn’t look like it’ll happen anytime soon.

It’s time to cut the administration some slack.

Health care reform features some sweeping changes, and glitches in putting its various provisions into practice are expected, especially when technology is involved.

Is it Sebelius or Obama’s fault that the website has problems? Absolutely not. Neither of them are computer programmers who are directly responsible for coding the site.

Moreover, the administration has been a bit preoccupied with the partial government shutdown that was manufactured by the same congressional Republicans who wanted so desperately to dismantle the law.

Now that the bureaucracy has been reopened and the fiscal crisis is — at least for now — finished, the executive branch can better focus its efforts on fixing the problems associated with the new health insurance website.

Whining about inevitable issues in implementing landmark legislation won’t help Republicans come next November.

Such tactics might have worked in 2010, but

the American electorate is catching on.

According to a CNN poll released on Monday, 54 percent of Americans believe it’s bad for the country to have Republicans in charge of the U.S. House of Representatives. Only 38 percent of respondents believe a Republican House is good for the country.

These numbers stand in stark contrast to Obama’s approval rating, which has remained steady through the shutdown at around 44 percent.

The shutdown hurt Republicans politically, and these numbers have major implications for the outcome of the 2014 midterm elections, especially if the party cannot or will not change its tactics.

The president has assured us that the problems with healthcare.gov will be looked into and fixed. Hopefully the administration will roll out a fix soon.

Likewise, if Republicans want to have a politically successful 2014, it looks like they have a few issues of their own to address.

SASSE looks to educate, end stigma surrounding access to abortions I remember the first time I thought of the word.

Actually, I remember being incredibly terrified of it. It was when I was in high school, and I had unprotected sex. You could say I knew better, but I didn’t really. The fact of the matter was that no one educated me about having safe sex.

Like most teen girls, I learned from hearsay.

Fortunately, my cycle came the next month, and I was not faced with the difficult decision.

That word, “abortion,” became a much more distant, abstract thought that I was able to separate and quickly walk away from.

Unfortunately, that’s not every woman’s story. By age 45, about half of American women will have an unintended pregnancy, and nearly 1 in 3 women will have an abortion in her lifetime. The decision to terminate a pregnancy is not simple, and it’s not supposed to be.

Like many other medical decisions, making choices for your health is very complex, and it often takes time to come to decisions that are best for you.

That’s why this week, Students Advocating Sexual Safety and Empowerment is proud to host a 1-in-3 event to end the stigma regarding abortion access.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Enough is enough. Women should not face marginalization because of their medical decisions, nor should politicians reserve the right to regulate their medical procedures.

SASSE also encourages our campus community to have safe and consensual sex! Twenty-two out of 50 states mandate sex education in public schools. That means many college students are arriving to their campuses with no education on safe sex practices or other preventative health measures. Not to mention, sex education programs are not universal and have no standardization across the states. This is a systemic issue, and we’re asking you to help us fight it.

IDE AS

Green Party serves as necessary option within Syracuse’s predictable political arena The rise of the Green Party is a welcomed change to the political landscape of Syracuse.

In the past decade, the party has seen increased popularity in the city.

In 1993, Green Party member Howie Hawkins received only 3 percent of the vote in the election for Syracuse common councilor. In 2011, he received 48 percent.

Today, the Green Party serves as a necessary alternative within a fractured political system.

Many voters have become frustrated by the Democratic and Republican parties, which are deeply entrenched in partisanship. The two parties have become so headstrong in their beliefs that they have refused to compromise.

This recently led to a period of inefficiency with the government shutdown.

This growing polarization between parties in today’s political arena has forced some young people to seek

EDITORIAL by the daily orange editorial board another voting option instead of the traditional two-party standard. This may be for the best.

Because the two parties struggle to work together, some voters could become attracted to the Green Party and its underdog status. The party rejects the normal mold of politics.

Many see this party as reflective of what its constituency is looking for. This is particularly evident in Syracuse, a working class, liberal city.

Young members of this demographic support the Green Party because of its progressive ideas, such as resisting influence from big business.

The Green Party also fills the void in the traditional two-party system left by the Republican Party, which lacks a

strong presence in Syracuse.

Although some of the party’s platform can be viewed as extremely liberal, the concepts are straightforward and easy for many to support, such as nonviolence and sustainability.

However, the Green Party is also held back from becoming a leading political party in Syracuse because of these left-leaning ideas. A negative stigma surrounds the party because its staunchly liberal ideals are often misunderstood. Some individuals do not endorse the party because they question its potential to implement change.

Although it does not have the potential to steal support for the Democratic Party, the Greens’ recent popularity proves that people want more than predictable politics. They want options, and in today’s divided political system, options are more important than some might think.

Ignorant piece about ‘reason’ for rape provides fuel for prevention awareness

I

nebriated women are raped.

Sober women are raped. Women wearing skirts are raped. Women wearing sweatpants are raped. The common denominator here is the rapist, and that is where rape prevention must begin.

Last week, Slate published an article titled “College Women: Stop Getting Drunk.” The sub-headline reads, “It’s closely associated with sexual assault. And yet we’re reluctant to tell women to stop doing it.”

In the article, advice columnist Emily Yoffe explains that if women stop drinking alcohol, they will no longer “end up getting raped” as a result.

This argument is completely tiresome and is the very definition of rape culture, which blames the victims rather than the perpetrators.

Our society is consistently too quick to blame sexual violence on the behaviors of young women.

Telling women to stop doing certain things – from the way they dress, to what they drink, to how late they stay out at night – is the wrong way to end this problem.

Instead, we need to prevent the actions of the people committing these acts of violence.

This victim-blaming ideology is played out again and again in certain rape cases.

For example, the reopened rape case of 16-year-old Daisy Coleman has recently made national headlines.

Coleman was taken to the hospital in January 2012 after her mother found her drunk, barefoot and freezing outside their home in Maryville, Mo. Coleman, who was 14 years old at the time, said a 17-year-old football player assaulted her after she and a friend snuck out to meet him and his friends.

The charges were originally dropped, but the town didn’t revolt

head over heels against that court. Instead, they harassed the Coleman family. Coleman’s peers called her a skank and liar on Twitter and Facebook, and even encouraged her to kill herself.

She attempted suicide twice.

Coleman’s older brother was bullied in school and their mother lost her job. The family ultimately left Maryville.

It’s horrific that Coleman’s peers defended her rapist rather than her.

It’s even worse that this continues to be a trend, where victims get blamed and are told they

“deserved” their assault.

This attitude is upheld on an institutional level, as well. In a Fox News segment last Thursday, Joseph DiBenedetto, a New York criminal defense attorney, weighed in on the case. He asked, “What did she expect to happen at 1 a.m. after sneaking out?”

It’s appalling that a person in the legal system can have such a skewed perception.

Luckily, other media outlets are critiquing Yoffe’s Slate piece and the concept of victim-blaming.

Katie McDonough, of Salon, pointed out that Yoffe spends her piece blaming women and girls for drinking themselves into victimhood, when she should have focused more on what men and boys can do to stop rape – which is that they should not rape.

Allie Jones at the The Atlantic Wire wrote that college women

understand their vulnerability and have long taken precautions: Friends check in with each other throughout the night via their cellphones; roommates ensure that one another get home safe and sororities make sure sisters are sober at events to look out for each other.

Still, even the most vigilant women can “end up” getting raped, and that’s because a person decided to rape her.

For every proclamation like Yoffe’s and wrong-handled case like Maryville, we need to keep responding the same way: Sexual assault and rape prevention begin with the person who commits the crime.

Survivors cannot and should not be blamed for their assault.

GREEN PARTY FROM PAGE 1

Out of Onondaga County’s 103,879 voters, the Green Party has 778 registered voters, amounting to nearly zero percent.

But despite these statistics, the party has made considerable strides within the last decade. In 2010, Syracuse Greens garnered more than 50,000 votes, which put them on the ballot line for the next four years, said Dustin Czarny, Democratic elections commissioner for the Onondaga County Board of Elections.

Ursula Rozum, campaign manager for common councilor candidate Howie Hawkins, strategizes the door-knocking campaign at the meeting. She starts off by asking members to describe why they decided to support the Green Party and what seems to resonate with everyone is a desire for the alternative.

Sitting to the right of Barbara Humphrey, a Green Party candidate for the Syracuse School Board, is Erin Zimmermann, a freshman at the State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry, and Michael Messina-Yauchzy, an administrative adviser at Onondaga Community College.

Messina-Yauchzy said, as a 30-year veteran member of the Syracuse Greens, that he has always felt the Democrats and Republicans could never provide the right solutions.

“They never offered solutions that said ‘we’re all in this together,’ it was more of ‘you get in line and maybe you’ll get yours,’” he said. “But if the Green Party wins, we all win.”

Syracuse Greens are in a fortunate position because the Republicans have abdicated any effort to represent the city, he said. In this year’s election, there is no Republican mayoral candidate, leaving Kevin Bott, Syracuse Greens’ mayoral candidate, to run against incumbent Mayor Stephanie Miner and Conservative Party

news@ da ilyor a nge.com

candidate Ian Hunter.

The party faces steep Democratic opposition — in District 4 of Ward 17, or the University Hill area, 65 percent of voters are Democrats, according to voter affiliation records for 2013 collected by the Onondaga County Board of Elections. In the Hill area, 8 percent identify as Republicans and this percentage is true for most of the area, which includes some parts of downtown Syracuse and DeWitt.

When a party has ballot access, it becomes a permanent option on the ballot and people can register for your party, Czarny said. It serves as a good indicator of a party’s ability to gain support, he added.

“But beyond that, their problem as well as any problem for any candidate is voter apathy,” Czarny said. “There are some people that just don’t vote at all, which is quite sad because people often forget that local elections have more of an impact on your everyday life.”

Apathy, combined with America’s two-party system, makes it difficult for the Green Party to lead, said Grant Reeher, a political science professor at Syracuse University. Most districts in Syracuse also use plurality representation, where the candidate that finishes first gets the seat, he said.

“This makes it difficult for third parties because if you can’t battle for the first or second spot, it makes it hard to sustain your movement,” Reeher said. “You don’t get any points if you come in second or third.”

When parties don’t gain traction, they are often forced to assimilate into one of the two major parties, he said. But one of the Green Party’s platforms involves resisting cross endorsements, he said. Hawkins, the party’s common councilor candidate, has turned down pressure to run for the Democrats for years, Reeher said.

Hawkins has been “grinding it out” for every election, so he understands the struggle to gain recognition, Reeher said. Since coming to Syracuse in 1991, he has run for city council, mayor, county executive, state comptroller, the U.S. House, U.S. Senate and New York governor — all on the Green Party ticket.

One of the party’s greatest struggles has been getting out in the public eye, Hawkins said.

“We were basically ignored by the media, particularly in the New York City area,” he said.

“I think they just saw Syracuse as a backwater town and assumed we wouldn’t get any votes.”

and have it delivered to them anywhere on the hill, free of charge with no expectations of tips or other gratuity, she said.

“I go downtown all the time to eat, and I waste so much money on gas,” Fagut explained.

“Even if I try to save gas by ordering delivery somewhere, the delivery surcharges and tipping the drivers really add up.”

Another benefit of SyrCa is its partnerships with local Syracuse restaurants in Armory Square. Fagut explained that she will only be partnering with local restaurants, and

“From a ticket sales standpoint, I think that tells us everything we need to know,” he said, “It’s significantly higher than it was last year, so to me, everybody is really excited about this move to the ACC.” Giansante said the increased attendance has given the basketball team a great deal of support. He added that this is a great recruiting tool, which helps to keep the program going.

Yet year after year, Hawkins continued to campaign for the Green Party. His experience taught him an important lesson: Persistence is key. In 1999, when Hawkins ran for Onondaga County Executive, he said officials didn’t even mention him as a candidate.

But in his 2011 campaign for Common Council, Hawkins received an endorsement by The Post-Standard. Through time, he said, quality demands to be recognized.

“Just keep plugging away. Help the journalists do their job and be responsive,” Hawkins said. “Over time, that should speak for itself.

If you get a decent vote and become worthy of coverage, it’ll show itself.”

People began to realize that the party was more than just “protest voters” but a contender, he said. Rozum’s 2011 congressional campaign also resonated with voters, receiving 8 percent of 15,295 voters in Onondaga County, he said.

Compared to her contenders, who spent $5 million, Rozum only spent $15,000.

Like Rozum, Hawkins said he receives most of the support from three main constituencies: middle class progressives, working class indi-

viduals who are unsatisfied with the two major parties and millennials. “(Millennials) are in a real tough spot.

They can’t find jobs, they go to college and end up in debt,” Hawkins said. “They look at the adults and they’re unconvinced. They’re very open to the Green Party, so we’ve got an influx of people that age.”

Hawkins said people from the baby boomer generation and above are the hardest constituencies to sway because many of them have already established their political beliefs like a “religion.”

Messina-Yauchzy, a Syracuse Greens member, said a lot of the uncertainty comes from voters not being able to get past the idea that third parties are unviable. He said if more candidates won, the public would respect the party. He said he encourages voters to support candidates based on their real beliefs and values, rather than voting for someone because they will win.

“I say to people, ‘Why would you look at an election as a horse race?’” Messina-Yauchzy said. “You shouldn’t let someone else tell you who’s going to win.”

that none of the restaurants offered a delivery option before partnering with SyrCa. “Unlike GrubHub, which only works with places that already have delivery services set up, SyrCa is partnering with famous Syracuse restaurants that, until now, never offered delivery,” Fagut said. “I’m from Syracuse, so when I reached out to all of the restaurants, they trusted me and they trusted that I would do things right.”

Fagut also reached out to Terry Brown, the executive director of the Falcone Center for Entrepreneurship at Whitman School of Management.

“She had really thought everything through and she was further along with the process of starting a business than most people who come to see me,” Brown said. Brown added that he

was excited about SyrCa because it’s a “really relevant idea” for the area,.

So far, Fagut has secured partnerships with local restaurants like Pastabilities, Blue Tusk, Lemongrass and LoFo. Many other restaurants in the Armory Square district and the rest of downtown are anticipated to be on the menu for SyrCa’s services after all of the necessary paperwork is completed, Fagut said.

“We’re really excited about working with Hana and allowing some of our menu to be enjoyed by delivery,” said Brian Langdon, manager of Pastabilities. “We don’t have a final delivery menu locked down just yet, but we think Hana’s business is a great idea.”

While most of the attention regarding the move is being directed toward football and basketball, Maher and Giansante are also expecting increased interest in other sports, such as lacrosse, field hockey and soccer.

Women’s lacrosse games will also be ticketed for the first time, due to the move, Maher said.

The ACC is a much more competitive league for soccer and field hockey, and this will likely increase attendance, Giansante said. He added that he expects there to be more interest in the men’s lacrosse team, now that SU and Duke are in the same league. Giansante called the ACC

“the most superior conference for lacrosse that has ever been created.”

The move to the ACC has also gotten students like James Hadnot, a freshman broadcast and digital journalism major, excited for the upcoming season. He said he planned on purchasing tickets to the anticipated match-ups, including games against Duke, Miami, North Carolina and Florida State.

Said Hadnot: “The ACC had a large amount of teams go to the NCAA tournament last year.

So it’s going to be interesting to see how the [former] Big East teams will compete in the ACC.”

Café Kubal stands strong in airport as business chains prepare to move in

By Nicki Gorny

S

STAFF WRITER

tudents flying through the Syracuse Hancock International Airport should expect some changes in the coming months, with a new company set to take over food, beverage and retail concessions at the airport.

“It was time to take a look at the whole terminal,” said Christina Callahan, commissioner of aviation. The redesign of a centralized security checkpoint opened in May, according to a May 14 Post-Standard article. This security checkpoint was part of a $60 million renovation that began in 2011, according to the article.

The timing was right for a new concessions plan, she said, due to the March expiration of the current concessions contract with Delaware North Cos. This company has run the airport concessions for more than 20 years.

Following a request for proposals that closed on Sept. 10, Callahan said, the Syra-

cuse Regional Airport Authority awarded a 15-year contract to Creative Food Group at the Oct. 11 board meeting.

Under the new arrangement, she said, a Johnny Rockets restaurant and New York Times bookstore will fill new venues around the airport’s redesigned security checkpoint. Restaurants including Dunkin’ Donuts, Jamba Juice, Middle Ages Brewery Company and a Market Express will replace existing venues, which she said include several cafés. But Café Kubal, a coffee brewery, will remain one of the only locally owned businesses in the airport.

While many categories were compared as the authority decided among multiple proposals, she said, the New York City-based Creative Food Group stood out for its creativity and combination of local and national brands. For example, Callahan noted the inclusion of the Middle Ages Brewing Company, which is based in Syracuse.

Although no contracts have been signed yet,

Matt Godard, owner and CEO of Café Kubal, said the local coffee chain is likely to remain at the airport as well, helping to maintain the balance between local and national options.

Café Kubal has operated a kiosk in the new post-security area since May 15, he said, adding that the airport’s total retail sales increased by more than 30 percent after it opened. Café Kubal was set to expand to three more locations within the airport had Delaware North received a contract renewal, but Creative North’s proposal included no plans to maintain the Café Kubal kiosk.

Godard said he expected Café Kubal to remain at the airport in some capacity after conversations with representatives from the county legislature, CenterState CEO and Creative Food Group. There was also a strong community response online, in media and in stores, following news of the potential removal of the café from the airport.

“For us, it’s very good,” Godard said. “Not so great for Dunkin Donuts, but I can’t say I feel really bad for them.”

With Café Kubal open at the airport, Godard said he thought concessions at the airport would strike a good balance between local and national vendors. Without the café, he said, the only local representation would be in the brewery, which he said could not be enjoyed by people of all ages.

“I do think it’s important to keep local businesses in airports,” he said. “In particular our airport needs to have an expression of the uniqueness of our city.”

Construction for the new venues will take between six and nine months, Callahan said, with shops to be phased in so that not all will be up and running at the same time following the March expiration of the existing contract. nagorny@syr.edu @Nicki_Gorny

Ask the experts: Does NSA pose threat to Syracuse students’ privacy?

By Charlie Mastoloni CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Last week’s revelation that the NSA had been collecting millions of contact lists from personal email and instant message accounts heightened unanswered questions about the National Security Agency.

The Guardian had reported this summer that the U.S. National Security Agency was collecting the telephone records of millions of Verizon customers. It was also reported that the NSA was accessing Google, Facebook and other Internet databases under the PRISM program, which allowed the NSA to collect information such as emails and search histories.

The Washington Post reported on Oct. 14 that the NSA had been collecting millions of email address books from around the world, avoiding congressional restrictions by collecting the data overseas.

The Daily Orange spoke with Syracuse University professors about the NSA leaks, the NSA as a whole and what this means for

of trying to lump neutral in with dissatisfied, and there kind of are pros and cons to taking that approach.”

But both Neary and Ballard are looking for ways to improve the TA program. Neary said he would like to see more time during TA orientation dedicated to instructional methods rather than university policy, while Ballard

the privacy of everyday citizens.

The D.O.: What is the NSA and what exactly are they responsible for?

Joon Park, an associate professor in the School of Information Studies who works in the Center for Academic Excellence in Information Assurance (a group the NSA has appointed to do research on making information systems safer): “No one really knows what the details are at the NSA. Their known mission is to protect the nation and to gain advantages for the U.S. and our allies in electronic communications.”

The D.O.: Why have they come under fire lately?

William Banks, a professor in the Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs and Director of the Institute for National Security and Counterterrorism: “The stuff that is controversial is collecting meta-data. Meta-data is transactional information, email addresses, phone numbers dialed and received, email headers;

wanted to focus on evening out discrepancies in grading standards among TAs who teach the same course.

Wright, director of graduate studies, said he would like the TA program to start proactively seeking out “underperforming” TAs rather than waiting for problems to arise.

He said TA orientation changes constantly to adapt to input from TAs, university administration and the program coordinators. Next year’s TA orientation will “almost certainly” be pushed forward by a day so that it doesn’t

basically the envelope information rather than the contents.”

Roy Gutterman, an associate professor in the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications and the director of the Tully Center for Free Speech: “The NSA has come under controversy for having information leaked by Edward Snowden that says they monitor meta-data, aggravate emails, and other surveillance programs. In some ways it does appear there are invasions of privacy, we don’t know all their methods of information collection.”

The D.O.: Do you think the NSA might have access to Syracuse University’s students’ emails? Do you think this is a threat to the average U.S. citizen’s privacy?

Park: “In terms of wanting to access Syracuse student’s email, I can totally see them wanting to do that. The reason is, is that university is a good place to hide people’s identity, because it’s one of the easiest way for terrorists to come to the country. It gives them the ability to stay in the country for a few years.

Overall, what our nation can do in the future is emphasize transparency. If there are more privacy or user consent policies, I wouldn’t necessarily have a problem with surveillance. We all want to protect the nation, it’s only fair to ask for transparency in return.”

Banks: “The NSA would not lawfully be able to see SU student’s email unless they go to a special FISA court to get authority through the justice department. The FISA courts operate in secret, understandably so, as it’s intelligence, so it needs to remain secret.”

Gutterman: “The average citizen isn’t in the government’s crosshairs, however every time you open an online account you run the risk of not only government officials invading your information but hackers, too. Anyone who doesn’t want to risk their online identity should stay off the grid.

In terms of getting access to Syracuse student’s email I believe it would be relatively easy for them to if they really wanted.” cpmastol@syr.edu

conflict with the international graduate student orientation run by the Center for International Services, he said.

TAs would benefit, Wright added, if there were stronger involvement on the part of individual departments and if TAs took advantage of optional programs for them that run year-round.

But he said that most of the TAs’ primary focus is on their own research and career goals.

“We can’t necessarily expect that TA-land is going to be populated by a lot of people who are really, really invested in doing really well at it,” he said.

Wright said that both Ballard and Neary expressed interest in attending a meeting of TA program coordinators in about three weeks to discuss changes to next year’s TA orientation program.

Bill Coplin, an SU professor who serves as an adviser for UBE, said he wasn’t surprised at the survey results. Since the survey’s creation in 1988, it has shown student dissatisfaction with TAs, he said.

Coplin said one of the biggest problems facing TAs is the fact that many of them are expected to teach courses they haven’t taken themselves. Since 1978, he has used undergraduate TAs who have taken his class in previous semesters and received an A, he said.

He added UBE’s ultimate goal extends far beyond working with the TA program. He said the group’s ultimate goal is to “lobby” the administration into putting more resources and attention into undergraduate education.

“They’re like a lobby group lobbying on behalf of undergraduates to get a little more power —

they know they’re not going to get a lot — to get the administration and the faculty to take care of some of these problems,” he said.

Ballard said she and Cresap are looking to form a long-term working relationship with the administration so that UBE can accomplish goals that reach further than most students’

LIU

“I liked how he said that rugged individualism does not help America, and how country over self is needed,” she said.

Richard Miller, a freshman public policy major, appreciated Liu’s lack of partisanship.

“I thought it was good how he took politics out of the speech, and how he spoke more about the human aspect than institution and the importance of people helping other people,” he said.

Tyler Boyle, a senior studying environmental science at the State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry, said Liu’s lecture made him think.

“I like how he made me think about how neither side of politics should affect patriotism,” he said. “And it made me think about how any person as a citizen can engage themselves.”

FROM PAGE 3

The discussion came to a close with Liu asking the audience to repeat an oath confirming that everyone has the right to choose to live like citizens and dream like citizens, no matter their background.

The oath is a part of Liu’s project, titled “Sworn-Again America,” which promotes the idea of Americans revitalizing their national citizenship. The oath is inspired by the oath U.S. immigrants say upon entering the country, according to the project’s website.

Charisse Hughes, a freshman public policy major, said Liu made her realize there are many dimensions to being a citizen.

four-year tenure. Some of their long-term goals include working with SU’s Office of Institutional Research and Assessment to release an undergraduate survey every two years.

Associate Provost Costello-Staniec said she saw UBE’s work with the survey as a step toward greater cooperation between students and administration.

Said Costello-Staniec: “I was actually really encouraged by the report, and I think that there’s a great opportunity here to have students engaged in making their education what they feel it should be.” mmcregan@syr.edu

WHOSE LINE IS IT IN LA? Alumni form sketch comedy group, hope to make living telling jokes

T

By Vanessa Salman CONTRIBUTING WRITER

he Love, Ronny comedy group shamelessly shares its love for laughs and ‘90s boy bands.

“You’ve heard of ‘N Sync right? Small-time boy band, played an arena or two. Well, they happen to be so-named after the last letters in their first names, so because we’re not ashamed of our love for ‘N Sync, we named Ronny after the last letters of our last names,” Ben Rosen, a 2011 Syracuse University alumnus and a member of Love, Ronny, said in an email.

A Los Angeles-based group of SU alumni recently teamed up with a friend and alumnus from Southern Methodist University to create the group. Besides Rosen, there are three other 2011 grads — Danny Skinner, Tony Cavallo and Raffy Ganimian — and Chris McCreary, a 2011 SMU drama graduate. The group writes, produces and records comedy sketches and posts them to their YouTube channel every Tuesday.

Rosen said working with friends in a group and doing what they all love was a no-brainer. Post graduation, the group decided to pursue comedy, and to make it in this business, they had to do it together.

“The ‘love’ part is what we’re about. Making people laugh or smile, why we do what we do is because we ‘love’ to do it,” Rosen said.

Rosen is not new to the world of comedy. His father was a traveling stand-up comedian with a group of Jewish cantors, which Rosen said had an influence on his upbringing. Rosen performed with his family at their local Jewish Community Center. Some of his earlier influences were Mel Brooks, Woody Allen and “Monty Python.”

At SU, Rosen was involved in First Year Players, and was also a contributor to The Daily Orange. Senior year, Rosen was in the CirtusTV comedy group, “Float Your Boat.”

“I remembered reading several stories about VPA and Newhouse grads who’d gone on to launch their own companies. I couldn’t wait to graduate and do the same, not just launch a company but also share a success story with students who might be wondering: What does the future really have in store?” Rosen said.

Cavallo, a Boston native, was also part of the “Float Your Boat” group and was a member of the Black Box Players, a student-run theater group.

Before that, Cavallo’s first role in a production was as Rooster in his middle school’s production of “Annie.”

One of his most rewarding moments at SU, he said, was when he produced and directed “Dog Sees God: Confessions of a Teenage Blockhead”

FROM THE BOX OFFICE Oct. 18-20

By Ian Tecklin STAFF WRITER

All three new releases this weekend faced unimpressive debuts and could not surpass holdovers “Gravity” and “Captain Phillips,” which claimed the first and second spots, respectively.

Sony Pictures’ newest film “Carrie” opened in third place this week with a mediocre $16.1 million. The lower-than-expected opening is surprising, given the fact that the film is the only horror movie opening in October, which is typically a time when a large number of horror films are released.

The film is a remake of the original 1976 high school fright tale, and while Sony targeted the film toward teens and young adults, it failed to actually attract moviegoers. Though the studio presented the film as a supernatural thriller in advertisements, in reality, the film is a painful story about high school bullying and child abuse. It’s not exactly the supernatural, empowering tale you’d expect.

While the film should perform adequately through Halloween, it is unlikely it will make more than $40 million. This is not ideal for Sony, which spent $30 million to make the film in addition to another $10-15 million on prints and advertising. That being said, in its theater run, “Carrie” will most likely break even. It could also make a minor profit through ancillary markets and later showings on TV. With an even less impressive debut, Lionsgate Entertainment’s “Escape Plan” took the fourth spot with a low $9.9 million. The film stars former box office kings Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger, who

have seen their last few films underperform at the box office (aside from the “Expendables” franchise).

While the debut of “Escape Plan” is more than this year’s solo films’ openings for Stallone’s “Bullet to the Head” ($4.5 million) and Schwarzenegger’s “The Last Stand” ($6.3 million), that’s not saying much. Stallone and Schwarzenegger do not seem to be good investments anymore, which should not disappoint many action fans since both actors are almost 70 years old. The real disappointment is for Lionsgate, which invested $50 million in the film. Given this weekend’s poor opening, the film is unlikely to make more than $30 million.

The final new release in the top 10 came from DreamWorks Pictures’ “The Fifth Estate,” which claimed the eighth spot with only $1.8 million from 1,769 theaters, making it this year’s worst start for a movie shown at more than 1,500 theaters. The film needed terrific reviews and Oscar buzz from the festival circuit to break out and attract moviegoers. Unfortunately, it received neither, which is most likely why DreamWorks scrapped its plan for a platform release and decided to just open the film in wide release this weekend.

Simply put, the WikiLeaks film likely had little appeal. Audiences did not want to spend money on a story they heard countless times from last year’s news. Based on the opening, “The Fifth Estate” will probably end up making no more than $5 million, which is not good news for DreamWorks, as they spent an estimated $28 million to make the film. ijteckli@syr.edu

Columnist suggests discreet exercises to perform during class, work, long waits

T

he urge to shake it out always comes while you’re sitting in class, drumming at a keyboard in a lab or waiting impatiently in line for your pumpkin latte.

Sometimes it feels like that’s all you can do without springing from your desk to squat it out or engage in a round of jumping jacks.

But that can change. Why not tone and tighten with an arsenal of secret moves?

While seated in class or at work, you can get a great workout in for your gluts. Squeeze your gluteus muscles and hold for a few seconds before releasing. To work your lower abdominals and your leg muscles simultaneously — provided you’ve got a table and enough leg room — do some seated straight-leg lifts. Keep your belly button tight into your tummy and extend a leg up slowly and very straight. Hold for a few seconds, and slowly lower them back down.

You can even go the other way and do a leg flexion, where you keep your legs at 90-degree angles. Keep one foot flat on the floor and draw the other foot back, like you’re trying to touch your butt with your heel.

You can target your triceps with an arm press whil staying seated, too. Keep your forearms on the desk, bent at a 90-degree angle. Keep those abs tight. Press your forearms into the top of the desk and fight the resistance — like you’re trying to straighten your elbows — before relaxing; try it again with your palms out to work the biceps.

If you’re trying to break through those long lines at Dunkin’ Donuts or Starbucks, fiddle around a bit to burn off some steam — or concentrate on some specific muscles to stretch out.

JILLIAN THAW

writer, editor, sweater A great thing you can do while standing in line is calf raises. To do these properly, make sure to go slow. Rise up onto your tiptoes, feel a good stretch in your calves and then slowly lower back down onto your heels.

For a good arm workout, do a few bicep curls with a water bottle you’re willing to pay for, or try some lateral shoulder raises, if you’ve got some room. If you’re inclined to do some balance work, practice getting that core work in by standing on one leg while you’re waiting.

But don’t forget to stretch. Wrist rotations — slowly reversing your palm to face down and back up again — help keep that writing hand fresh. Point your toes out and up to work the balls of your feet and stretch out those plantar muscles; or, instead of wrist rotations, try some ankle ones. Those little guys work hard, too.

You don’t need a gym to strengthen and stretch. As long as you’ve got the ability to move, you can get the job done, whether you’re seated or standing, in the rain or in Schine.

Not-so-scary ‘Carrie’ Despite strong acting, 1976 horror film remake falls short of frightful expectations

T

By Brittany Russell STAFF WRITER

his past weekend, “Carrie” returned to the big screen for the first time since 1976, but this time it’s more gruesome and modern.

Director Kimberly Peirce remade the classic horror film about Carrie White (Chloe Grace Moretz), a timid girl who has spent her senior year as an outcast and sheltered by her mother’s (Julianne Moore) overbearing religious beliefs. Although she is quiet, after being harassed too many times, she unleashes her telekinetic powers at the senior prom.

Peirce does an excellent job of making this classic movie much more modern and relatable. The high school scenes seem more realistic in this version. She was able to take full advantage of the opportunity to update the story for viewers of the modern age.

Carrie is portrayed as a “misfit” as girls in her high school locker room torment her. A hateful classmate, Chris Hargensen (Portia Doubleday) leads the taunting. The bullies film the ordeal on their cellphones, which they upload to the Internet — one of the most noticeable differences from the original.

Sue (Gabriella Wilde), Carrie’s good-girl classmate, feels guilty about her involvement in the harassment, so she persuades her athletic and popular boyfriend Tommy (Ansel Elgort) to take Carrie to the prom with him.

Although Carrie thought the date was a joke at first, she ends up deciding to go.

While the film is filled with strong acting, the most underrated performance goes to Wilde. She did an outstanding job as the counterpart to her evil classmate Chris — the main instigator of Carrie’s problems. The audience feel sympathy for her character, Sue, even though she bullies Carrie.

During the movie, Carrie has a desire to fit in with her other classmates, but her mother isn’t happy about it. As soon as Carrie mentions the prom, her mom suggests they sit together and pray instead, as she often does in situations when the two disagree.

At the same time, Carrie is quickly starting to discover her telekinetic powers. She uses them for her own good, levitating her mom and locking her in the closet — like her

mom did to Carrie.

Julianne Moore and Chloe Grace Moretz make a good mother-daughter duo. Moretz is sweet and innocent, and able to evoke a certain amount of sympathy — even when she is behaving at her worst. Moore does a fantastic job in her full-force crazy mode. The role allowed her to go over the top without seeming too dramatic or out of place.

The special effects are an excellent attribute, and they play a huge part in the film, but overall “Carrie” is nothing special. It is a solid remake but fails to surpass the original.

While it was frightening at times, it was gorier than anything else, with the amount of blood that was shown. Despite this, the film’s release comes at the perfect time of year.

If you are looking for a Halloween classic, “Carrie” is for you. Just don’t expect a terrifying horror flick. baruss01@syr.edu

built the set and worked the soundboards and lights themselves.

Another SU alumnus in Love, Ronny, Ganimian said he, too, had comedy in him from the start, as he used to strut around with his pants pulled high, imitating Steve Urkel. Ganimian was in several shows while on campus, including “Dog Sees God” and “Room Service.” He also directed “The Palooka” by Tennessee Williams.

Chris McCreary, the graduate of SMU, joined the group after hearing about it through his friend, Danny Skinner, who went to SU. McCreary said that comedy has been the lone, constant passion in his life. And although he is still trying to figure out what he wants to do for a living, he said it must involve making people laugh.

Ideas for the comedy group’s sketches are not solely drafted for the purpose of entertainment, as Rosen believes that inspiration can come from everyday life and experiences.

The company is new, but the members have high hopes for the future. People they hope to work with include Alison Brie, Will Ferrell and Seth Rogen. Along with celebrity cameos, which they are keeping under wraps, they are in the process of setting up pages on Funny or Die, CollegeHumor and Break.com. Live shows are also in the works.

For those who want to pursue drama as a career, the members of Love, Ronny are encouraging and have some insight and wisdom to offer from what they’ve experienced so far.

Said member Raffy Ganimian: “Constantly work on your craft and study the greats — the old school comedic actors. Move to LA, find a group of people that want to do what you’re doing, and just do it.” vksalman@syr.edu

The Carrier Dome is famous for a lot of things, but on Tuesday, the focus was put on sounds it emits: a flutter echo, more commonly known as a “Dome stomp.”

The Dome was one of the many stops on the “Living in the Soundscape” tour that encouraged participants to truly stop, unplug and absorb sounds from the world around them.

The walking tour was part of the 2013 Syracuse Symposium on listening, and had a focus on the sonic elements of the Syracuse campus.

Andrew Waggoner, a music composition professor and composer, led a tour of approximately 20 participants for the event.

“As a music professor, I’m in the business of listening and encouraging other people to listen,” Waggoner said. “To listen to music, one has to really listen to the world because music is a thing of the world.”

A big part of the tour focused on the contrast between listening to music through headphones and listening to the daily music and sounds from the hustle and bustle of real life.

Waggoner noted that music has historically been a social phenomenon that brought people from all walks of life together. But through his personal experience and background in music, he said headphones actually make society more isolated.

“What I’ve noticed is that students in particular — but also older types, like me — essentially stop listening at a certain point because the sonic environment is so saturated by music and different signals that are unwanted,” Waggoner said. “It’s gotten to the point where I

think that most people in today’s world have disengaged from active, emotional and, dare I say, spiritual listening.”

The tour began in the Crouse College music practice hall, and Waggoner said he hoped that it would provide participants with a way of creating a playlist of natural sounds without any sort of digital medium.

While actively listening to the sounds throughout the building, the tour-goers heard a piano rendition of “Lean On Me,” a repetitive and consistent plinking of a singular piano

“To listen to music, one has to really listen to the world because music is a thing of the world.”

key and the occasional ear piercing notes of an opera singer. Afterward, Waggoner delved into his observation that Crouse is one of the few places on campus where music becomes merely background noise because of how often it is played. He also said he was fascinated that members of administration sometimes ask professors to lower the music volume when they had events or meetings within the building.

“Sometimes they ask us to tune down music on audition days, which I find hilarious since we’re in a professional school of music,” Waggoner said. “I think those that come in here that aren’t engaging with this

music is troubling.”

Waggoner then led the tour to the Abraham Lincoln statue between Maxwell Hall, Eggers Hall and Tolley Administration Building. He took note of the ambient traffic noises, the peacefulness of the wind and the overall prestigious atmosphere of the environment. He said it’s almost like people who cross through are restricted from doing anything too outlandish in an effort to preserve the spirit of Lincoln.

“Would you come to this sort of place and throw beer bottles at Abe? My response would be no,” Waggoner said.

Later stops during the tour included a secluded stairwell in Huntington Beard Crouse Hall, a bustling sidewalk on the Quad and the aforementioned famous spot by the Dome. In the stairwell, Waggoner commented on how rare silence was in today’s world; out on the Quad, he described how the leaves rustling in the wind was a delicate, scraping and deafening sound all at the same time.

Fifth-year architecture student Franklin Romero, who joined the tour to research for his thesis on global architecture in major cities and their relationships with city noise levels, gained an appreciation of paying close attention to even the most minute real-world noises through the tour.

“Always keep your ears open, because even the slightest white noise holds some interest,” Romero said. “There’s a sort of peace to all the white noise with the highway and trees and stuff like that. There’s definitely a lot to appreciate in terms of just getting to know Syracuse.” mglin@syr.edu

Bradley suffers from a form of cancer and with the help of Team Impact, a college sports adoption program for kids with life-threatening illnesses, the Pride football team has taken the boy in as their own.

This time, though, the football program decided to “draft” Bradley. They gave him his own media day with a press conference that all of the players and coaches attended. They even made him sign a contract that promised that he would eat breakfast, make his bed, listen to his parents and do well in school.

“We gave him a locker in the locker room, and we put his name up on the scoreboard,” assistant coach Cody Flanigan said. “We tried to show him how important he was going to be to our program.”

On Oct. 12, the Pride played its annual Breast Cancer Awareness Day game, this year against Hobart. Each year, the football team raises funds for a different cancer research organization.

This year, Springfield decided to donate the money raised through selling pink T-shirts and souvenir helmets to the foundation where Bradley regularly receives treatments. Currently, he is in remission for his cancer.

Bradley regularly comes to team practices and trains alongside the players. Sometimes he calls plays from the playbook, other times

he is called on to tackle in a scrimmage.

For games, Bradley is there for the coin toss and is in charge of taking the tee off of the field after kickoff. Then, he stands and cheers from the sidelines, often next to teammate and running back Andrew Alty.

When Bradley was first adopted by the team, Alty had more one-on-one time with him than others because Alty was sitting out due to an injury. Since then, the two have developed a close relationship.

“At first, he’s pretty shy, but once you get to know him, he’ll talk your ear off. He’ll say whatever comes to his mind, whatever is funny,” Alty said. “He’s really positive. If people are feeling down, then they’ll see him and they’ll cheer up.”

Because Bradley goes to an elementary school a half an hour away, he doesn’t make it to all of the team’s practices. Sometimes, though, the team comes to him instead. The players have gone to play with him at recess or read a story to his class.

They’ve built a strong bond with each other since the beginning of the football season, making him as much a part of the team as possible. And they’ve raised just less than $1,000 for his treatment center, still with a week to go in the month of October.

“He does just as much for our guys, if not more than what we’re doing for him,” Flanigan said. “Our guys don’t understand, but they have an idea of kind of what he goes through on a daily basis with those treatments.

“Our guys are learning a lot from him. It’s pretty special.” klross01@syr.edu

pressure. Forwards Emil Ekblom and Alex Halis, along with defender Oyvind Alseth, were active early on, and defenders Jordan Murrell and Brandon Albert contributed to the attack throughout the game.

“Getting Jordan forward and Oyvind forward, I thought they both really imposed themselves on Albany,” McIntyre said.

In the second half, SU finally capitalized. In the 49th minute, Alseth sent a corner kick into the box that was directed in off the head of Juuso Pasanen into the far right corner of the net. It was Pasanen’s second goal of the season, and his first since Sept. 25 against Massachusetts.

“We came out creating chances and had a very high tempo to start the second half,” McIntyre said. “To get that goal early in the second half allowed us to maybe relax a little bit more and play and move the ball and create chances.”

Nearly 10 minutes later, Ekblom cut inside the box and bent a shot into the bottom left corner of the net. The goal was Ekblom’s ninth of the season, and his sixth in SU’s last five games.

McIntyre said he was very pleased with his team’s performance, and told his team after the game how proud he was of them. The coach said the win was especially important with a tough three-game stretch against ACC opponents Maryland, Clemson and Wake Forest to end the regular season.

“I’m proud of the guys,” McIntyre said. “I congratulated them. We’ll enjoy this one tonight and then we’ll get back to campus and start preparing for Maryland.” jmhyber@syr.edu

Men’s club players practice with SU, toughen team for ACC

By Connor Grossman STAFF WRITER

In the spring of 2013, Syracuse women’s soccer assistant coach Neel Bhattacharjee reached out to the Syracuse men’s club soccer team seeking some help.

Moving to one of the best conferences in the country, Syracuse would be going up against more physical, athletic and skillful competition.

Bhattacharjee asked team captain Eddy Walter if he could speak to a few of the better returning players on the team to gauge their interest on possibly practicing with the women’s team.

Four took the offer.

“For me, it’s about trying to be a bigger, faster, strong player,” said Bobby Williamson, one of the four players who now practices with the women’s team. “The competition they see in the ACC is the best women’s soccer players in the country.”

Seniors Williamson, Garrett Lee and Joey Naparstek, and graduate student Chris Melton, have been practicing with the Syracuse women’s soccer team (7-9-1, 3-7-1 Atlantic Coast) all season long as representatives from the men’s

honor given to the nation’s best point guard.

Ennis is a five-star recruit and rated the No. 5 point guard in his class by ESPN. He averaged 10 points and three assists per game in the Orange’s four-game trip to Canada in August. On Friday, Ennis showcased his precision passing in his Carrier Dome debut at Orange Madness.

Head coach Jim Boeheim said Ennis will play about 38 minutes per game this season.

“Tyler is a very steady player, he knows what

WILSON FROM PAGE 20

That much was clear when frantic crowds swarmed the Carrier Dome box office on Wednesday, online requests poured in and eager customers clogged the Dome’s phone lines.

And that much was clear from the electricity in the air in Charlotte, N.C., that day for basketball media day. Everyone wanted to know how the new league would stack up, and everyone — even Boeheim — felt it could be historically great.

Then came Saturday evening. True heavyweights No. 3 Clemson and No. 5 Florida State.

Death Valley.

It didn’t live up to the hype, but the Seminoles exceeded it, trouncing the Tigers and establishing themselves as a national power, and possibly the best bet to stop top-ranked Alabama from a third-straight national title.

“It’s big as far as coming from the Big East where not a lot of teams had a lot of respect,” SU running back Jerome Smith said earlier in the season, “but going into this conference teams have a lot of respect.”

The football conversation strayed from the basketball talk. The Big East argued for its depth — half of the league shared first place in its final season. The ACC had stars, which Big East supporters argued were overrated.

This past weekend the results came in, and the answer was a resounding victory for the ACC. In South Carolina, FSU proved the ACC’s strongest case over the old Big East. In Atlanta

club team.

Three of them, Naparstek excluded, began working out with the team in the spring of 2013. In that time, they have been rewarded by building relationships with the team and have been able to hone in on specific player tendencies.

The practice players have blended seamlessly with the rest of the team, Syracuse players said, and fulfilled Bhattacharjee’s initial goal.

On defensive and offensive drills they bring a strong, physical presence to practice. “(The four practice players) obviously are faster and stronger, and it gives us good competition to play against,” freshman defender Maddie Iozzi said. “Having them in practice helps replicate the ACC gameplay and definitely increases our level of energy.”

Most of the four were scouted by Division III schools, but opted for Syracuse to get a better education.

Because the men were looking to continue sharpening their skills and receive feedback from the Division I coaches on the women’s team, Bhattacharjee’s offer made sense.

he is doing all the time,” Boeheim said at SU media day on Friday afternoon. “ He plays a lot like a veteran point guard, which is impressive coming in as a freshman. “... I think he’s as well prepared as any freshman point guard we’ve had here.”

Ennis is one of four freshmen tabbed to the watch list, joined by Kentucky’s Andrew Harrison, Florida’s Kasey Hill and Washington’s Nigel Williams-Goss. The list of candidates will be trimmed to 20 in early February and five in early March. sebail01@syr.edu @Stephen_Bailey1

earlier in the day, the Orange made the counter argument look laughable.

SU, which won a share of the Big East crown last season, lost 56-0 to Georgia Tech, which finished 7-7 last season.

The ACC has four teams in the AP Top 25 and three in the Top 10. The AAC, the conference that the Big East evolved into for football, has just No. 18 Louisville, and the Cardinals are heading to the ACC after this season.

When Louisville gets to the ACC, the league will have four of the five active college basketball coaches in the Hall of Fame and another perennially-ranked football team.

The star power and the skill players in this fresh league are undeniable, and they’re still attracting more.

Smith highlighted those skill players as the biggest difference from the Big East to the ACC. Head football coach Scott Shafer said in the coming years the ACC can compete with the Southeastern Conference. No one could say that about the Big East with a straight face.

“I feel like in 10 years this conference will be fighting to be No. 1,” Shafer said.

It’s not there yet, but it’s a hell of a lot closer than the Big East ever was.

“This gave us the opportunity to continue doing what we love and play at a high level,” Naparstek said.

Williamson is excited with the way his game has improved since practicing under head coach Phil Wheddon and his coaching staff.

“I definitely think about things differently when I’m on the field after listening to Phil, Adam and Neel preach their practices and strategy of the game,” Williamson said. “I think mentally and even more so skillfully I have improved my game.”

The club players are taking this experience

as seriously as the rest of the girls on the team do, and the coaching staff reciprocates that feeling when coaching them.

However, the most prominent sentiment from the practice players in conversation was an overwhelming sense of gratitude toward the team and coaching staff for the opportunity to be a part of the camaraderie.

“We just want to blend in with the team as if we were one of the girls,” Naparstek said. “The coaches will ride us as hard as they will any of the other players, they want us to get better too.” cgrossma@syr.edu

Syracuse gains confidence, strings together winning streak

By Ryan Raigrodski STAFF WRITER

The Atlantic Coast Conference season started off as bad as it could for Syracuse. The Orange was 0-4 and confidence was low, but after three wins in four matches the attitude is rising.

“I don’t know, I feel more confident,” outside hitter Silvi Uattara said. “Like really much more confident.”

“I feel like what scares (the other team) the most when you see when you’re like very happy and when you’re screaming to their faces,” middle blocker Monika Salkute interjected. “They are getting more uncomfortable and frustrated.”

After an extremely disappointing performance against North Carolina State more than two weeks ago — SU’s (8-12, 3-5 ACC) fourth conference loss in a row — impressive results came almost out of nowhere.

Freshman setter Erica Handley said the work the players have been doing in practice has started to click.

“Everything is really starting to click compared to the beginning of the season and that’s what we were hoping for,” Handley said.

“That’s what we’ve been working for.”

Head coach Leonid Yelin, who won his 500th match on Sunday, runs a grueling practice in which the team works on technique and scrimmages with each other. Yelin requires workouts involving push-ups and laps around the court, usually when one of the players messes up.

During these practices, Yelin has been emphasizing technique and fundamentals that

seem to finally be showing in the team’s play.

Although Yelin had very little to say about anything regarding the team’s turnaround, Handley feels his practices have made a huge difference.

“I think just from working on all the little things in practice and really just focusing on the basic fundamentals, just makes us get better at making less errors and less mistakes,” Handley said. “That’s what really makes us pull out.”

As the team enjoys its first real success all season, the team seems to be in much better spirits.

During practice, the players appeared to be much more active and energetic, and having

more fun. And almost all of the players had smiles on their faces that had not been seen during the days following all of Syracuse’s home ACC losses a few weeks ago.

joshua chang | staff photographer SILVI UATTARA (RIGHT) and the rest of the Orange are gaining confidence after a slow start to the conference schedule. Syracuse has won three of its last four ACC matches.

“It definitely has made it a lot more positive.

Everyone’s been really upbeat and happy,” Handley said. “The bus ride home was a lot more relaxing than in the past. It’s a lot more positive now.”

After its slow conference start, Syracuse now has a chance to improve to .500 in the ACC. The teams Syracuse faces this weekend have not exactly been dominant in ACC play. Georgia

Tech only has one conference win, and Clemson is 4-3 in league play.

As the Orange returns home, the team hopes to build off the confidence it gained on the road.

“I think now we feel that we can get more wins in a row,” Salkute said. “Not just one win and then (lose). We have to. We will do this.” rlraigro@syr.edu

Last Wednesday at 10 a.m., individual game tickets went on sale for basketball. By noon, Duke tickets were sold out. North Carolina ones were almost gone, too. Pete Moore, Syracuse’s director of athletic communications, confirmed later that day that the Duke game sold out faster than any in Carrier Dome history.

Ekblom scores in SU win over Great Danes

By Josh Hyber STAFF WRITER

Syracuse head coach Ian McIntyre celebrated the first-ever undefeated nonconference record of his coaching career by watching “Iron Man 3” with his team on its bus ride from Albany to Syracuse.

The Orange (9-5-1, 2-5-1 Atlantic

Coast) earned its first win in its last four games, defeating Albany (3-9-3, 1-2-1 America East) 2-0 at Bob Ford Field in Albany, N.Y. The victory capped a 7-0 record against non-ACC opponents this season.

“To win every game (against nonconference opponents), that’s a difficult accomplishment,” McIntyre said.

“We have sold more season tickets than we’ve sold in the last 20 years this year,” Syracuse head basketball coach Jim Boeheim said.

On one hand, the conference comparison was pegged as an ultimate heavyweight bout. The Big East was a basketball league unparalleled in recent history. Other conferences had come and gone, but the Big East and its playground-style of hoops was a constant.

On the other, the ACC ran neckand-neck. The styles were different, but the results were almost always the same. You can sacrifice Georgetown, St. John’s, Connecticut and Villanova when you’re trading it out for Duke, North Carolina and North Carolina State.

“The only thing our fans will miss,” Boeheim said, “is the Big East Tournament.”
