Why SU community members donate to campaigns

By Michael Burke asst. news editor

R

ichard Risman has contributed 31 small donations to Hillary Clinton’s campaign in 2016, but not because he agrees with the Democratic presidential nominee’s policy views.

Instead, the Syracuse University College of Law professor’s donations represent his belief in the Democratic process.

“I want it to be fair,” Risman said. “The Republicans this year have a very wealthy candidate with a lot of money, and I want to try to balance that out a little bit by giving money to (Clinton).”

In past elections — whether it be presidential, congressional or local — Risman said he has donated to candidates in both parties. Sometimes he’s even donated to candidates opposing each other in the same race, he said.

“I really believe in the Democratic process and I want both sides to have enough money to run good campaigns,” he said. “… I’ve supported all kinds of candidates, and I don’t necessarily agree with all their views but I will support them financially so they can get their word out.”

Risman is among the dozens of SU faculty, staff and administrators who in 2016 have donated to political candidates or committees supporting political candidates.

They donate for different reasons and with different objectives. Most, like Risman, are small donors, but others have made the maximum contributions to candidates. Some donate to presidential candidates, while

others prefer giving to those running for Congress.

In all, SU faculty, staff and administrators made 586 federal donations totaling $66,261.21 as of Sept.

30, according to a review of the most recently available Federal Election Commission data.

Aviva Abramovsky, the associate dean for international initiatives in the College of Law, in March made a $1,000 donation to Colleen Deacon, who was then competing for the Democratic nomination in the race for New York’s 24th Congressional District.

Abramovsky said she generally targets her money to the candidates she believes will bring the best future to the Syracuse region specifically.

“Professors live in the community. This is also our home,” Abramovsky said. “And I am personally engaged in the future of both our city and the region. … I believe in the future of Syracuse. I think Colleen is the right person in this election.”

For other SU community members who donated, the “right person” was anyone opposing their leastpreferred candidate.

Lee McKnight, an associate professor in SU’s School of Information Studies, said he was turned off by Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump. He donated $150 to the Democratic National Committee, hoping to get as many Democratic voters to the polls on Election Day as possible.

“I think it’s an important election and I find Trump unfit for office,” he said.

Todd Blumen, a video coordinator for the Syracuse men’s basketball team, also finds the upcoming election see donations page 4

How each campaign this year was financed

By Michael Burke asst. news editor

Federal political campaigns filed their pre-election campaign financing and spending reports last Thursday with the Federal Election Commission, with data available through Oct. 19.

Here is a look at the financing of the campaigns for the presidential candidates as well as the candidates for the Senate from New York and for New York’s 24th Congressional District, according to FEC data.

PRESIDENTIAL Hillary Clinton: Clinton’s campaign has a

raised a total of $513,006,612 in receipts. Most of that — about 70 percent — has come from individual donors. About 28 percent has come from different committees.

After spending, Clinton’s campaign has about $62 million left in cash on hand for the final stretch of the election cycle.

Donald Trump: Trump’s campaign has not been as successful as Clinton’s financially. It has so far garnered $254,946,267 in total receipts.

About 42 percent of that has come from individual contributions, while Trump himself has loaned or contributed about 22 percent of it. Roughly a third has come from different committees. see campaign

Senior pursues life-long music, singing passion

By Casey Russell asst. feature editor

For Sean Jordan, singing isn’t just part of his major requirements.

The senior vocal performance and music history dual major has been singing all his life. He knew this was what he wanted to do since he performed in the Philadelphia Boys Choir. Performing has always been a passion of his.

Jordan enjoys singing a range of music, including modern pop hits, but one of his favorite genres is one that many students may not be as familiar with: classical baroque opera.

The baroque period in early modern Europe lasted from the mid-17th century into the 18th century and was characterized by flowery, elaborate and intricate works of art. The immortalized painter Rembrandt created his work during this time, and so did Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, who composed comedic operas like “The Marraige of Figaro” and “Don Giovanni.”

Jordan doesn’t really know why he’s suc this almost niche type of music, but he compares his love of opera to any musician or music afficionado’s love of different genres.

“It’s the same kind of question like ‘oh, why do you like country music? Why do you like pop music?’ I listen to it, for some reason, I can’t not sing along,” he said. “It’s so catchy and it’s so

When he isn’t at Syracuse University, Jordan lives in Jamison, Pennsylvania, a small town an hour north of Philadelphia. He said there are more cows than people.

“We have a gas station,” he joked.

Over the summer between

junior and senior year, Jordan stayed on campus and worked at the music school in work study positions as well as at the Starbucks on Marshall Street.

Above all, Jordan is glad he decided to pursue a major in music.

He is currently applying to gradu-

“I mean, I could have been a teacher, I could have taught French — I really love French — but I thought it was more of interest and more inspired, for me at least,” he said. cmrussel@syr.edu

Tampons Rose Laying Ceremony honors bombing victims to be offered

By Will Muoio staff writer

Since this past summer, Keelan Erhard, the co-chair of student life for the Student Association, has wanted to make menstrual hygiene products available for students at no cost.

After hearing from a friend who attends John Carroll University in University Heights, Ohio, that these products were available for free, Erhard said there was no reason the same couldn’t take place at Syracuse University.

Erhard brought the initiative to SA and has since been working to make the products available at the university.

The products will be available starting this Friday in five locations around main campus: Schine Student Center, E.S. Bird Library, Life Sciences Complex, Huntington Beard Crouse Hall and the Hall of Languages.

By Satoshi Sugiyama asst. news editor

The cold wind blew against a crowd of more than 200 Syracuse University community members gathered around the Wall of Remembrance for the Rose Laying Ceremony on Friday afternoon.

At 2:03 p.m., the bells inside Crouse College’s Bell Tower tolled to signify the exact time Pan Am Flight 103 exploded on Dec. 21, 1988 over Lockerbie, Scotland.

The bombing killed all 259 people aboard the plane — including 35 SU students — as well as 11 people on the ground in Lockerbie.

At the beginning of the ceremony, the 35 Remembrance Scholars, who represent the SU students who were killed in the bombing, walked down from Hall of Languages in two lines to stand on the sides of the Wall of Remembrance.

One by one, the scholars walked up to the microphone to speak briefly about the student they are representing: Nicole Boulanger had “unparalleled talent, fierce dedication and power-

ful passion” in musical theatre.

Scott Cory loved SU so much that one time he dyed his hair orange.

Christopher Jones was eager to combine his passion in sports and writing.

Many scholars spoke emotionally and with tears in their eyes.

The somber mood spread throughout the crowd with a few audience members visibly crying and wiping away tears.

A fter each Remembrance Scholar spoke, they pledged to act forward in the student’s memory, then they placed a white rose on the Wall of Remembrance.

The two Lockerbie Scholars — Sian McLaughlin and Shona Beattie from Lockerbie who were selected to study in SU for one year — mentioned the bond developed between Syracuse and Lockerbie, saying the two communities united from past pain stand stronger than ever before now.

SU, SUNY-ESF Catholic chaplain appointed at Mass

By Satoshi Sugiyama asst. news editor

In February, Father James McCurry called Father Gerry Waterman asking him to think of being the new Catholic chaplain at Syracuse University.

“I did for about two seconds, and I said, ‘OK, I thought about it. No,’” Waterman said, eliciting laughter from a crowd of more than 200 students, parents and SU community members at the Alibrandi Catholic Center on Walnut Place near the SU

campus on Sunday morning.

More than eight months after that call, Waterman was officially instated Sunday as the new Catholic chaplain for SU and the State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry during Mass. Waterman’s appointment comes after then-Chaplain Father Linus DeSantis died of a heart attack last December.

McCurry introduced Waterman, calling him one of the most extraordinary people whom McCurry knows since Waterman was in high school.

At any rate, the muscles of his heart never stopped working on compassion or the people he serves.

“Believe it or not, he doesn’t look much different. He’s a hundred pounds less than he was in a high school and that wasn’t muscle,” McCurry said as the audience burst into laughter. “At any rate, the muscles of his heart never stopped working on compassion or the people he serves.”

SU Chancellor Kent Syverud then presented a brief remark welcoming Waterman to the SU and SUNY-ESF campus.

Community members host rally for local youth justice

By Kennedy Rose staff writer

A local community organization hosted a rally Sunday afternoon to address issues concerning youth incarceration in Syracuse and central New York.

The Alliance of Communities Transforming Syracuse hosted a “Rally for Justice” to call for ending the source of income discrimination, expanding prekindergarten education, raising the age of being tried as an adult from 16 to 18 years old and ending the solitary confinement of incarcerated minors. The event took place at the Tucker Missionary Baptist Church in Syracuse. The organization also called upon state and city legislators to provide solutions to these issues.

ACTS is comprised of more than 20 organizations from the Syracuse area and a congregation of many faiths, including Christians, Muslims and Jewish people.

Sally Santangelo of CNY Fair Housing first took the podium to kick off ACTS’ call to action by advocating source of income discrimination during the rally. Santangelo said central New York residents who receive government subsidies to pay rent are subjected to discrimination by landlords without consequences. Under the current rule in New York state, landlords are legally allowed to deny people housing because their rent is paid with government subsidies.

Source of income discrimination, Sanfrom page 1

donations to be of particular importance — but unlike McKnight, his donation was made in an effort to keep Clinton, not Trump, out of the Oval Office.

Blumen in May gave $28 to Trump’s campaign, making him one of only a handful of SU community members who have contributed to the Republican presidential nominee.

He said Clinton’s proposed policies would be “detrimental” to the country, adding that he wants to ensure she doesn’t get to appoint the ninth Supreme Court justice.

“That could really set the tone for the next 30 to 40 years for this country,” Blumen said. “And I think we’ve already gone too far, where there’s been decisions coming down from the Supreme Court where I feel that they’re legislating from the bench, versus just upholding what the Constitution says.” from page 1

campaign finance Trump’s amount of leftover cash is dwindling. His campaign has under $16 million left in cash on hand, according to FEC data.

SENATE Chuck Schumer: In campaigning for

reelection as a Democratic senator for New York, Schumer has raised just over $17 million in total receipts. More than three-quarters of

tangelo said, is illegal in nine states, but not in the state of New York. She said this income discrimination is used as a proxy for racial and disability discrimination, as people of color and people with disabilities receive government subsidies more than other groups.

“We can’t continue to lament our problems and not do anything about it,” Santangelo said.

Aneesah Evans, co-chair of the Community Violence and Youth Task Force that addresses problems of community violence in Syracuse, then stood behind the podium and opened with a simple phrase: “People are dying.”

She asked 22 people in the room to stand silently. Evans said those 22 people represented the 22 violent deaths that occurred in Syracuse since the beginning of 2016.

“The young people in our community deserve to feel safe at home and in their schools,” she said.

The evening focused heavily on the wellbeing of children in the Syracuse area. The

majority of the speakers were parents who live in Syracuse with children in the Syracuse City School District.

Darlene Medley, a mother of nine children ranging from nine-month-old twins to a 22-year-old, said she has to walk her children to school four times a day because she feels it isn’t safe for them to walk alone and the school district doesn’t provide buses.

Medley explained her decision to quit her job to take care of her kids. She told the crowd of more than 100 people that it wasn’t a forced decision because her children’s education trumps her having a job.

Medley expressed her concern with the upcoming winter weather and not being able to leave her newborn children at home to walk her older children to school. She said doesn’t want the babies to freeze outside and she doesn’t think her children are safe enough to walk alone.

Peter Kozik, assistant professor of education at Keuka College and working in ACTS’ Pre-K division, had a three-part plan to expand pre-K education in Syracuse.

Buses and transportation for children is imperative to their success, he said. Most working families, Kozik said, do not have the time or the means to take their kids to pre-K, so having safe transportation for kids would allow them to get a good education.

He then addressed the need to expand facilities that provide quality, full-day pre-K education. Syracuse does not have enough facilities for all 3- and 4-year-olds

to get quality pre-K education at the same time, he said.

Luchele Chisunka, co-chair of the Criminal Justice Task Force, urged state legislators to “raise the age” meaning raising the age of being tried as an adult from 16 to 18 years old in New York state.

New York and North Carolina are the only two states in the United States that try 16-year-olds as adults, she said.

New York state Senator David Valesky and New York state Assembly woman Pamela Hunter were in attendance and made a public commitment to raise the age. Chisunka said Onondaga County Sheriff Eugene Conway also made the commitment, but he was not in attendance.

Emily NaPier, ACTS vice president, made the afternoon’s final call to action. NaPier advocated for an end to putting minors in solitary confinement.

In an investigation done by ACTS, NaPier said the organization found 86 minors were collectively sentenced to more than seven years in solitary confinement in less than one year after the city of Syracuse moved incarcerated minors to a new facility.

Like many other speakers, NaPier expressed how people of color are disproportionately negatively affected by the criminal justice system.

“Black and brown children will not be dehumanized by public officials who work for us,” NaPier said.

Blumen said he’s donated to politicians in past elections, and the same is true for many individual donors at SU. Others, though, said they were relatively new to the process.

Susan Henderson, a professor of architecture, said she always votes in elections but generally doesn’t contribute to campaigns because most candidates, she said, don’t advocate for the “serious change” she believes is necessary.

But that changed during the primary season, when Rep. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) tightly contested Clinton for the Democratic nomination.

“I was really excited to see a progressive that was not only running, but had a chance of winning,” she said. “That’s why I started actively sending cash.”

Henderson on seven occasions donated $25 to Sanders’ campaign, making her a small donor, similar to the majority of individual donors at SU. But the university has

its share of big donors as well: of the 586 donations that were made, 75 were for more than $200.

Sean O’Keefe, a University Professor in the Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs, gave $2,700 — the maximum an individual can give per election to a federal candidate — to both Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) and Rep. Randy Forbes (R-Va.).

O’Keefe said he’s donated in every election in recent memory, always “in the spirit of being a citizen participant.”

“It’s my way of telling them, ‘I want to help advance the agenda that you’re advocating, because I advocate it too,’” he said.

Catherine Bertini, a professor of practice and the vice chair of public administration and international affairs in Maxwell, made $2,500 in donations to businessman Steven Wells, who ran in the Republican primary for New York’s 22nd Congressional District.

Bertini also donated $1,000 to Ohio Gov.

John Kasich, who competed for the Republican presidential nomination.

Bertini said her first priority in donating is to the regions she lives and works in: Madison and Onondaga counties, respectively. That’s why she often donates to congressional candidates. In addition to donating to Wells, she contributed in past elections to retiring Rep. Richard Hanna (R-N.Y.), who has represented New York’s 22nd Congressional District in the House since 2013.

Additionally, Bertini said she sometimes has close friends running for office or reelection and tries to help them. Bertini knew Wells personally before donating to him and served on Kasich’s national security advisory group.

“I like to donate to people whom I have a lot of respect,” she said, “and to whom I think would be really good representatives of the people.”

that has come from individual contributions, while just under one-fifth has come from different committees.

The campaign has about $20.5 million remaining in cash on hand, much of which is due to the campaign starting with about $13.5 million in cash.

Wendy Long: Relative to her opponent, Long’s campaign has had very little financial resources. It has collected just over $500,000 in total receipts, more than 90 percent of which has come from individual contributions.

Long has just under $150,000 left in cash on hand, FEC data shows.

Airbnb restriction hurts millennials, New York

T

here is simply no logic in Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s decision to penalize Airbnb host owners.

Bowing to pressure from the hotel industry, Cuomo recently decided to penalize Airbnb hosts who choose to rent their spaces for fewer than 30 days annually — fines can range from $1,000 to $7,500.

While the move was made to address concerns from New York’s hotel unions, according to the New York Post, it doesn’t make sense in the grand scheme of tourism for the state. Yes, cracking down on Airbnb in New York would protect hotels, but it stifles the growth of less traditional and more affordable options for tourists.

This is also problematic because the law disproportionately affects millennials: young people tend to own the properties of Airbnb host sites and also engage frequently in renting out those properties.

Raking in nearly $158 million in 2015, there are 21,000 millennials hosts in New York City alone, said Airbnb PR consultant Jennifer Burner Barden. Because millennials are drawn to Airbnb as a means to pay back their student debt and other necessary expenses, Cuomo’s motion against the company feels like an abuse of government power.

Beyond protecting millennial financial growth, the least Cuomo could do with Airbnb is maintain the tourism jobs that are already going strong instead of punishing New York residents by cutting them.

Nearly 70 percent of workers in the “sharing economy” — the peerto-peer market — are between the ages of 18 and 34 years old, according to U.S. News and World Report. This means that those who are involved with companies like Airbnb, Uber and Lyft are primarily young people, supplementing their main line of income with a side hustle.

While the governor’s decision may seem a little harsh — for both

Airbnb and millennials — this regulation is not unusual, said Lynne Vincent, a management professor in the Martin J. Whitman school of Management at Syracuse University.

“This appears to be part of a growing movement. Other cities such as Berlin, Amsterdam, and Barcelona have also restricted or banned short term rentals. It is possible that other U.S. cities will pass similar laws,” said Vincent.

Still, Cuomo is hurting state tourist dollars. In 30 New York City zip codes, the number of Airbnb guests grew 78 percent annually, said Barden in an email.

Compared that to a growth rate of 50 percent annually across the entire city.

When a major city like New York has 30 zip codes alone growing 18 percent faster than the city average, it doesn’t make sense to put the city in a position to lose jobs. The risk of alienating a whole population of tourists and tourist hospitality is not worth the benefit of protecting traditional hotels.

Given that Cuomo allocated more than $50 million to New York state’s booming state tourism industry last November, the governor should be all about pushing the boundaries for new models of business.

But now, instead of providing New York’s tourists with the most affordable place to stay, he looks like the guy who wants them out.

Free menstrual products welcomed Following a string of colleges that have done the same, Syracuse University will finally provide free menstrual products in a handful of campus bathrooms this week in a move by the Student Association that highlights accessibility and inclusivity.

Every Friday, volunteers will stock bathrooms in Schine Student Center, Bird Library, Life Sciences Complex, Huntington Beard Crouse and Hall of Languages: 10 tampons and 10 pads in women’s and gender-neutral bathrooms, and five of each in men’s bathrooms.

While 10 to 20 menstrual products per bathroom is a small start, it’s a smart one for SA considering the initiative is still in its trial stage.

what is student association?

Student Association is SU’s student governing body.

Its mission is to consider the interests and needs of students above all else.

Still, the increased availability of menstrual resources is crucial on a college campus: For those that menstruate, cycles are inevitable and tampons and pads aren’t cheap. So while the current $1,000 budget won’t accommodate every student on

their cycle who uses the specified bathrooms, SA is giving students a stock of emergency materials in case they forgot to pack an extra pad that day.

In this way, SA sets the tone for what the program should be: An opportunity for students who are in an emergency situation and need these products, not a resource for students to substitute purchasing their own personal items each month.

Operating on the five-building system for now will help SA gauge the popularity of each menstrual product location as well as the effectiveness of the program itself. But looking at the organization’s long-term goals, SA should consider expanding the number of academic buildings where menstrual products are available or even moving forward with stocking the bathrooms in residence halls.

While SA student life co-chair Keelan Erhard took cues from John Carroll University with the initiative, Brown University and SU peer institution Cornell University also greenlighted free tampon distributions in September.

Notably, Brown placed tampons in men’s, women’s and gender-neutral bathrooms —about 70 bathrooms across 30 buildings, according to The

Washington Post. Other schools, including the University of Minnesota and the University of Nebraska at Lincoln, have provided free menstrual products on their campuses.

Especially given the incorporation of men’s and genderneutral bathrooms in the mix, it’s forward-looking that SU is catching up with other institutions of higher education and that SA is facilitating this progress.

TAKING INITIATIVE SUNY-ESF to implement inclusion, diversity plan for its community

By Caroline Bartholomew staff writer

S

UNY-ESF will implement its new Inclusion, Diversity and Equity Strategic Plan starting Nov. 1.

In early May 2016, the State University of New York system released that all of its schools would be required to have a diversity plan.

But the SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry had been discussing creating a college-wide plan since August last year. The Inclusion, Diversity, Equity (IDE) Committee had its first meeting on April 1.

Scott Blair, head of the committee, assumed the role of director of student diversity and inclusion initiatives and coordinator of institutional diversity and inclusion in 2015.

“We’ve had substantial conversations on campus over the last couple semesters and we wanted to make a difference and really start to elevate this on an institutional level,” Blair said. “SUNY’s really paving an awesome path in this work nationally so it’s really great to be a part of that.”

The plan starts out with a brief history of previous diversity initiatives at SUNY-ESF. It goes on to list eight goals for diversity on campus and strategies to make sure they happen. The plan also discusses methods for assessing the goals.

The goals SUNY-ESF has laid out in its plan include:

• Defining and integrating inclusion, diversity and equity at SUNY-ESF • Creating accountability and visibility of diversity, equity and inclusion at the college • Integrating inclusion, diversity and equity into the education and research done by faculty, staff and students alike • Developing inclusive recruitment and retention strategies for SUNYESF students, faculty, staff and administrators • Increasing the accessibility of SUNY-ESF to people in and outside of the college • Increasing inclusion, diversity and equity at SUNY-ESF with the support and involvement of the school’s alumni • Increasing the inclusion, diversity and equity of international students at SUNY-ESF “When it comes to the development of the plan, the goals and strategies sec-

tion is so important because that’s the section of the plan that truly speaks to this is what the college needs to do and this is how we’re going to do it,” Blair said.

The framework of the plan is based on both a guide from SUNY and diversity plans from other schools including Pennsylvania State University and Michigan State University, Blair said. He attended a conference in May 2015 where Penn State representatives presented their plan, and brought that information back to SUNY-ESF where they began having conversations regarding their own plan.

Blair said faculty and students have been enthusiastic about the whole process. In September, the committee hosted open listening sessions where members of the ESF community could share what they wanted to see in a diversity and inclusion plan.

“This wouldn’t be successful without the community and we’ve had awesome community engagement over the last two months,” Blair said.

Samantha McVey, a junior environmental science major at SUNY-ESF, represents the college in a student committee of all SUNY schools and has been active in the creation of the plan.

“I work as an RA and when I would hear students complaining about what was happening in class I knew we had to do something about it,” McVey said.

By August 2017, SUNY-ESF will have a full-time chief diversity officer, which SUNY has also mandated. There is no official job description yet, but the officer will help with assessing the plan’s strengths and weaknesses and diversityrelated training for students and faculty, Blair said. Although some mandatory training sessions already exist, the plan will ensure they happen more often.

“This will help us bring an underlying issue out into the spotlight so that we can constructively fix it together,” said Michael Klaczko, a sophomore chemistry major, director of association affairs in the Undergraduate Student Association and member of the IDE Committee. “Along with that I think other visible changes will be ones that have to do with the curriculum as well as with faculty and staff training around the issue.”

The plan will be sent to SUNY on Nov. 1, but the committee will continue to make changes if the community says they are needed so the plan can be as representative and supportive of the student body as much as possible.

“I think that there’s a spirit that already exists at ESF but again it’s reframing it and kind of redirecting it and particular aspects of it so that we can be even more inclusive,” Blair said. cbarthol@syr.edu

Tampons and 10 Maxithins pads in every women’s and gender neutral bathroom in those five academic buildings on the SU campus, and five tampons and five pads in the men’s restrooms on campus, Erhard said. The products will be distributed and restocked by “a group of volunteers” every Friday, he added.

All of the tampons and pads have been provided and paid for by SA, within the organization’s student advancement budget, making them free to students. The initiative will start out with a budget of $1,000, Erhard said.

The availability of menstrual hygiene

products has been of interest at several colleges and universities across the United States in the past few months. Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island, made menstrual hygiene products available in academic bathrooms on its campus this past September.

In addition, the Student Assembly at Cornell University, an SU peer institution, passed a referendum with 78.6 percent of the vote from participants in September to make menstrual hygiene products free to students.

Erhard said he hopes the products will be available at all academic buildings on campus and by next semester at all non-residential buildings as the program moves forward.

“While that is certainly not a guarantee by any means, I do think that it should be something that the university and Physical Plant look into,” Erhard said.

Total menstrual hygiene products available in each women’s bathroom

With the introduction of the initiative, Erhard said it is important to note that it can be a sensitive issue for the students on campus. He said phrases such as “feminine” products or “feminine hygiene” are two

examples that are not inclusive to the whole campus community.

“Both trans( gender) men and cis(gender) women menstruate,” he said.

“We should not try to gender menstrual products so that we are inclusive of everyone who uses them.”

There will be a presentation during the SA meeting by the co-chairs of the Student Life committee during this week’s meeting, which will take place on Tuesday rather than Monday because of Halloween.

This week’s meeting will include an update on the menstrual hygiene product launch as well as other initiatives within the organization, said Anjani Ladhar, cochair of the student life committee. wgmuoio@syr.edu

together to rebuild our communities,” McLaughlin said. “And not only those lost but those who act forward despite the pain of looking back.”

Elaine Sartwell, one of the Remembrance Scholars and a senior social work major in the David B. Falk College of Sport and Human Dynamics, said after the ceremony that the pain of victim’s family members hit her harder than what she had anticipated.

As a Remembrance Scholar, Sartwell represents Gary Colasanti.

Even 28 years after the Pan Am Flight 103 bombing, acts of terrorism continue to happen across the world. Twenty-five SU students were in Paris last November when a group of assailants carried out multiple suicide bombings and shootings in a concert hall, a stadium and restaurants leaving 130 people dead.

Similar acts of terrorism occurred at an airport and a metro station in Brussels, Belgium; an airport in Istanbul, Turkey; a work event at San Bernardino, California; and a gay bar in Orlando, Florida. “(The Rose Laying Ceremony) is a standup to say evil happens but love conquers,” Sartwell said. “… We’ve had 28 years of love.

and we prayed that he would be called here even before we knew exactly who you were,” Syverud said. “But now we know you, we’ve gotten to know you for the last few months, you’ve already inspired us and driven us to work hard in the joy to serve and to build this community.”

Waterman, who was associate Catholic chaplain at Elon University in North Carolina, recalled a visit to Syracuse to meet with Syverud in April as a “turning point” that led him to follow the Holy Spirit to accept the offer.

After thanking Catholic community members, Waterman extended his gratitude to students and their parents.

“I love the fact that you are willing to share your faith and to allow me to be the companion on your journey you are taking,” Waterman said.

After Mass, he said he is filled with the spirit of love and support.

“The wind beneath my wings is the Holy Spirit, guiding me and supporting me with the love of this community,” he said.

say love is still conquering.”

FIGHT OR The zombie apocalypse has come to Syracus ou’ve begun to notice an ominous feeling in the air this October. Something just hasn’t felt right.

You wake up, expecting to trudge through another dreary Monday morning. You don’t want to get out of your warm bed, as usual. But today, you really don’t want to get up. Before you even put your feet on the floor, you know something is wrong. You get up cautiously and start to get ready for your 9:30 a.m. class.

Right as you’re about to leave, you hear a distant snarling noise. You slam the door and turn to the window. Then you see them: green, flesh-eating zombies.

The zombies are wearing tattered, dirty and bloodstained clothes while their dead eyes stare in opposite directions. Their arms are unmistakably

Y

The zombies are outside and they are hungry. You lace up your boots and stick some essentials in your backpack and carefully head out the door. You grab a kitchen knife to arm yourself — the zombies are no match for you. Having said that, there are a lot of them. Do you fight? Or steal a car to skip town?

Walking outside, it’s pretty obvious that there’s no avoiding the zombies. You’ll have to take a few out if you hope to survive.

As you head toward the zombies, you start to think about how you’ll avoid becoming one of them.

Christopher Whipps, an associate professor in SUNY-ESF’s biology department, said how quickly diseases spread depends on how they’re transmitted.

Some spread through the air. Some spread through contaminated objects.

Some, like this zombie pathogen, require direct contact with the contaminated person — or zombie. In this case it’s not even just direct contact, but a bite.

And Whipps makes another valid point.

“How well can those zombies actually keep up and keep going?” Whipps asked.

“You sort of think about how zombies probably get along all that quickly.”

So you take your time and hide behind the corner of a house, knowing you don’t have to hurry to think up a plan. You’re just about to sneak around a corner to strike when something clamps down on your leg — hard.

It’s your friend-turned-zombie. He rips at the flesh on your leg and the disease begins to take hold. You start frothing at the mouth and your skin begins to peel. Game over. You are one of them now.

GO ZOMBIE HUNTING

P PULP

STEAL A CAR

By this point you’ve realized you’re going to need more than your own two feet to get away. It’s time to find some wheels.

Now, your first reaction may be to hop in the closest exotic sports car. But resist your temptation for a flashy ride. In this scenario, at least according to Frederick Carranti, associate professor of practice of mechanical and aerospace engineering, speed and acceleration aren’t imperative qualities. “(Zombies) tend to move slowly and en masse, almost like a flow,” he said. “What you want to do to get away from them is go through them.”

Carranti, who teaches a class on automotive engineering, said pickup trucks and utility vehicles are your best bet. With their extra ground clearance and four-wheel drive, you would be able to drive over the zombies. In a perfect world, you might even find a vehicle with a plow to duplicate the effect of a cowcatcher found on old steam locomotives.

He added that even if you can’t find a rugged ride, tinted windows may be just enough to hide you from the zombies. But in the end, it’s go big or get eaten.

“With a Tacoma kind of truck or a Tundra kind of truck, you can effectively crash through stuff and not disable the vehicle,” Carranti said. “Whereas if you did that with a Prius, you’re probably going to get hurt.”

You make it alive to the closest parking lot and find one of the physical plant’s snow plowendowed pickup trucks. And somehow, it’s unlocked with the keys in the ignition. You buckle up and set out on a bumpy ride. Congrats, you’ve put that zombie attack in your rear-view mirror.

When it comes to disguising yourself among the undead, Sarah Stark, the wardrobe supervisor for the Syracuse Stage, said less is more.

“What you are trying to hit, is changing the overall tone of the skin,” Stark said. “We can tell the overall health of somebody just by how their skin looks, so if you add some yellowing, just some overall yellow pigment to someone’s skin, it makes them look very ill.”

You can utilize everyday items lying around your dorm, Stark said. Elmer’s glue can become skin, peeling back from your face with lipstick blood in the cracks. K-Y Jelly keeps hair wet and pliable so it can easily be contorted and glued in place.

Stark recommended preparing for a zombie apocalypse by doing research and having photos printed out for makeup inspiration.

Overall, making yourself look dead should only take about 15 minutes.

However, makeup, Stark said, is not just about your face. Don’t forget to cover your arms and neck in peeling skin.

If you are going for a very convincing zombie look, Stark suggested ripping up one of your favorite outfits. This way, your deathly disguise is very convincing to the rotting bodies chasing you.

Disguise complete, you are now ready to hide. Join the swarm of zombies or hide under a pile of dead bodies, anything to make the diseased believe you are also infected.

Your disguise was convincing and you have survived for weeks on end. But supplies are low and your friends are starting to look awfully hungry. Your zombie squad turns on each other. Game over.

R FLIGHT

se University — choose your own adventure

stretched out like you’ve seen in movies, in cartoons and in AMC’s “The Walking Dead.” They are walking around aimlessly, looking for Syracuse University students to eat.

You frantically check your phone to see if the Department of Public Safety has put out an Orange Alert. You have no notifications.

Joe O’Connor, a DPS officer, doesn’t rule out the possibility of a campus-wide lockdown and recommends that regardless of what you decide to do, stick together.

“If people did decide to do that, look out for each other, the whole world, the whole world would be a better place,” he said.

Welcome to the zombie apocalypse. Do you choose to hide or fight for your life?

STUDY UP

Lindsey Decker, a professor who teaches a class on the history of American horror film in the College of Arts and Sciences, believes there are several lessons to be learned from zombie attacks in movies.

She said that in film, there are typically two models of reaction to imminent danger: the horror comedy where everyone “throws their hands in the air and runs around” or the defense reaction that involves actually fighting against the zombies.

But whatever reaction occurs, Decker stressed the importance of one thing: keeping up with cardio exercise.

“If the zombies are fast, you need to be able to run long distances,” she said.

She pointed to one of her favorite movies, “28 Days Later,” as the introduction to the concept of “fast zombies.”

She also said the biggest mistake people make in movies is not getting to somewhere secure if they choose to run from danger.

“There’s always a window or some way for the zombies to get in,” she said.

But, if you choose to stay and attempt to fight the zombies, Decker’s advice for immobilizing them comes from the classic film “Dawn of the Dead” — “aim for the head, sever the brainstem.”

The zombies find you in your hiding spot, but they are no match for you and your fighting skills. It’s true, binge watching “The Walking Dead” while in hiding paid off. You strike the undead in the brain stem and survive. Congratulations, you passed ZOM 101

The best way to avoid becoming a zombie is to avoid seeing one altogether.

You’re ready to close the curtains, board up the doors and binge-watch “The Walking Dead.” Or maybe you should throw a costume together — that way you blend in if they find you. Do you study up? Or disguise yourself?

Forget the pumpkin spice latte. Try pumpkin in its most natural form with these easy, college-friendly recipes that taste like fall.

SNACK-O’-LANTERN Try these all-natural recipes featuring a fall favorite: pumpkins

By Angelica Welch staff writer

A

h, the humble pumpkin. It has been turned into lattes, beers and yogurt — but few know it in its true form.

As kids, many of us stuck our arms elbowdeep into a pumpkin to scoop out the goopy, cold center in an effort to make the best jacko-lantern on the block. Somehow, the face of your jack-o-lantern always turned out to be slightly lopsided with one eye bigger than the other, but man, you were proud of it.

Transitioning into adulthood, pumpkin seems to always come in a can or in a powder that Starbucks mixes with milk and coffee and sells for an ungodly price. It is incredible that something as simple as a squash can be catapulted to such fame yet lose its entire identity.

This week I not only carved a pumpkin, but used as much of it as I could to make some true pumpkin treats.

First rule of pumpkin carving — save the seeds. Pumpkin seeds are not only delicious when oven-roasted, but are also a great source of protein and antioxidants. There are a few ways to prepare the seeds, from simple and salty to rich and sweet.

To roast pumpkin seeds, you must first separate them from the stringy insides of the pumpkin. Rinse them off in the sink and then lay them out in a single layer on an oiled baking sheet. Roast the seeds to dry them out first, then you have a blank canvas for whatever kind seeds you’d like to prepare.

For seasoning, you can always go with classic salted seeds, which allows for a ver-

satile product that can be used in yogurt, salad or as a snack. But personally, I like to spice mine up a little with a few variations.

With so many seeds per pumpkin, there is no excuse to make just one boring variety of roasted pumpkin seeds.

My favorite way to prepare the seeds is in homage to my fellow Marylanders out there — Old Bay-flavored pumpkin seeds.

First, roast the seeds in a 300-degree oven for 30 minutes on an oiled baking sheet to dry them out. Remove from the oven and toss with olive oil and Old Bay seasoning.

Return to the oven for about 20 more minutes until they are crisp and golden.

College kids will eat this one up — literally: sriracha pumpkin seeds. Boil a pot of salted water and add seeds. Cook for 10 minutes and then pat the seeds dry. In a bowl, combine the seeds, vegetable oil, sriracha and soy sauce. Season with salt and pepper and then toss them into a 400-degree oven to bake for 20-25 minutes.

If you want your pumpkin seeds to actually taste like pumpkin, try maple pumpkin spice seeds. This recipe is slightly more involved but definitely worth it. All you need is seeds, maple syrup, pumpkin pie spice, ground cloves and coarse salt. Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet and add in the pumpkin seeds and stir about two minutes until browned. In a medium sized bowl, combine the seasonings and then add in the browned seeds.

Pour the seasoned seeds onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet and pop it in a 325-degree oven for about 15 minutes until

they are dry and crisp.

When most people cook with pumpkin, they run to the store for a can of pumpkin puree. What most people don’t know is that it is actually pretty simple to make your own pumpkin puree from a fresh pumpkin.

Cut the pumpkin in half from stem to base, scoop out the seeds and cover each half with foil. Bake it in a 325-degree oven for 1 hour or until the inside is fork tender. Scrape the pumpkin insides from the halves and puree in a blender. Strain the puree in a wire colander over a bowl to remove any stringy pieces that may be left behind.

Now, with your fresh pumpkin puree you are free to make any pumpkin dish you desire. Personally, I love pumpkin bread.

I also love banana bread — so I decided to combine the two. The addition of bananas keeps the bread most and rich — taking it beyond normal pumpkin bread.

Although there are a lot of ingredients, the steps are pretty simple. In a large bowl mix 2 mashed ripe bananas, 2 eggs, 1/3 cup of vegetable oil, 1 1/3 cup of pumpkin puree, 1/2 cup of honey and 1/2 cup of sugar. In a separate bowl combine 2½ cup of flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, 2 teaspoons of pumpkin pie spice 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon and 1/2 teaspoon of salt.

Slowly stir the dry mixture into the wet mixture until just combined and then pour batter into a greased loaf pan. Bake for 45 minutes at 350 degrees and cool in pan for 10 minutes before removing so it doesn’t fall apart.

It’s time to take back the pumpkin. anwelch@syr.edu

Bio-series, historic films joining Netflix lineup this November

N

etflix remains the dominant force in streaming by pumping out new hits every few months. This summer’s example was “Stranger Things,” and the most recent was “Luke Cage,” another entry in Marvel’s partnership with Netflix. November’s best candidate will be “The Crown,” based on the early years in Queen Elizabeth II’s reign. And as always, new documentaries, stand up specials, and smaller budget series and films will drop throughout the month.

Here’s what’s new on Netflix for November:

“The Crown” - Nov. 4 (Netflix Original)

Netflix has put a lot of effort into this one. It is not often that stars of a Netflix show go on big promotional runs before the release of the show, but stars of this Queen Elizabeth bio-series have been on the circuit. Claire Foy stars as Elizabeth, Matt Smith — some may know him as the 11th Doctor Who — stars as Prince Philip, Jared Harris as King George VI and John Lithgow as Prime Minister Winston Churchill. It is certainly strange to watch a biopic from the 1940s about people still alive today, but the trailer makes it look like a good watch.

“The Ivory Game” - Nov. 4 (Netflix Original)

Leonardo DiCaprio seems to be capitalizing on his post-Oscar life by funding and producing nature documentaries. His National Geographic doc “Before the Flood” is already grabbing the attention of viewers and critics.

This smaller Netflix documentary about the ivory trade and the endangerment of African elephants is also a story worth telling.

KYLE STEVENS

JUST LIKE, MY OPINION MAN

World War II Collection

It seems like there’s a new World War II movie every year, which means each new one feels less relevant because the category is so big. That’s why I love that starting Nov. 18, Netflix will stream documentaries and government propaganda films from the 1940s all about World War II. Seeing films made during the time of the war is a much better way to get a feel for what the time was really like.

These include “The Battle of Midway” (1942), “Prelude to War” (1942), “Why We Fight: The Battle of Russia” (1943) and “WWII: Report from the Aleutians” (1943).

“Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life” (Netflix Original/Reboot)

After a seven-year run starting in 2000, “Gilmore Girls” finished a well-reviewed series acclaimed by fans and critics alike. Netflix loves refurbishing dead shows — see: “Arrested Development,” “Full House” — that have dedicated niche fan bases, so it seems like a great fit for a revival. There will be four hour and a half long episodes, each of which takes place over a single season, spring, summer, fall, and winter.

Also coming: New original stand-up specials from Dana Carvey “Straight White Male, 60,” Colin Quinn “The New York Story,” and Michael Che “Michael Che Matters.”

3rd-set errors plague Tufts’ ‘shark attack Orange in 3-1 loss to Duke mentality’ sparks SU offense

By Jake Falk staff writer

Down 4-0 in the third set, Libero Belle Sand tried to continue to do what she had done through the first two sets — keep the ball from hitting duke 3 the floor at all costs. syracuse 1 As she dove for the ball and hit the ground, she deflected the ball in a punch-like motion and it skewed over the Syracuse bench, nearly into a basketball hoop surrounding the Women’s Building court.

The Orange’s momentum from winning a back-and-forth second set had faded and SU had dug itself into a hole after allowing Duke to go on an extended run.

Errors plagued Syracuse (6-16, 5-7 Atlantic Coast) for the majority of game against Duke (16-6, 10-2) as the Orange attempted to comeback. The issue came to a head in the third set when the Blue Devils took command of the game for good winning two unanswered sets.

“Our hitters didn’t find better options in this situation,” Syracuse head coach Leonid Yelin said.

SU and Duke split the first two sets before the Orange’s flaws surfaced once again.

Against Notre Dame on Oct. 7, Syracuse trailed 1-0 in sets. On the verge of winning the second set, it let the Fighting Irish go on a 4-0 run that turned the game in UND’s favor. Notre Dame won the set and the game.

Following Duke’s 5-0 run to start the third set on Sunday, Syracuse went on a 4-0 run of its own. The set went back and forth until SU crumbled.

Outside hitter Santita Ebangwese felt the energy of her team changing and saw the Blue Devils taking control.

“We were getting kinda frantic in some spots,” Ebangwese said, “and their team, they were a little more disciplined than us.”

With Syracuse up three, 20-17, a kill by Duke’s Jessi Bartholomew began the start of a 7-0 run. In a matter of minutes, Syracuse trailed 24-20 and lost the set, 25-21.

In that 7-0 run, the trio of Bartholomew, Leah Meyer and Samantha Amos blocked Syracuse four times in a row.

“It was open play,” Yelin said. “They know who our setter gonna set (to). They were able to surround with (a) double block … and we didn’t cover.”

Following the lost set, Syracuse started the fourth and final set similar to the second set. The teams went back and forth again, until Duke pulled away with a late 4-0 run. The Blue Devils won the set, 25-21.

Yelin said his team couldn’t adjust to the tempo that Duke began setting following its third-set win.

The failure to adjust led not only to getting blocked, but also bad passes, botched coverage and rushed hits that failed to execute.

“They did a pretty good job to control ball, make right decision,” Yelin said. “That double hurts us when somebody doing good decision and you not.”

Yelin said Duke played nearly flawless in the third and fourth sets.

Syracuse’s inability to play mistake-free in tight sets or at the end of sets has hurt the team the whole season and once again represented what it takes to win in the ACC. “We just played a more disciplined team,” Ebangwese said. “The mistakes we made on Friday (against Wake Forest) we couldn’t make and we did … They realized this and they usually got the point.”

By Charlie DiSturco staff writer

Elaine Carey drove along the end line, passing by two Indiana defenders. She pushed the ball forward and hit a dribbler that bounced between another two defenders, landing in front of the net.

Waiting for the pass was Emma Tufts, who took a step forward, wound up and lofted the ball in the air. Indiana Goalie Katie Johnson stuck her stick up and jumped up to hit the ball away, but missed. The ball snuck underneath the crossbar and landed inside the goal, giving Syracuse a two-goal lead early in the second half. Tufts threw her hands in the air and walked toward Carey, who met her in front of the Hoosier net with a hug.

Tufts’ goal helped No. 2 Syracuse (14-2, 4-2 Atlantic Coast) end the regular season with a 3-0 win over Indiana (8-11, 3-5 Big Ten) on Sunday at J.S. Coyne Stadium.

Despite being involved in just one scoring play, Tufts was in the middle of many scoring opportunities for the Orange.

“We were working really well together in the circle and (Elaine) passed it across the circle and I just got a stick in it,” Tufts said.

“I’m always aggressive in the circle.”

Emma Lamison recovered a loose ball and backhanded it toward the net. It was lofted in the air and landed in front of Tufts, who ripped a hard shot on goal. Though the shot barely missed the goal and went wide left, Tufts was in the middle of yet another

scoring opportunity. “(Emma) is really willing to put her body on the line and is feisty,” senior forward Liz Sack said. “She is so open-minded and I think that’s making it really easy for her to get into scoring opportunities or be involved in setting up other people.”

In her first start of the season, Tufts impacted the outcome of the game. The sophomore took five shots, including four on goal. Tufts accounted for a third of SU’s 15 shots. Her five shots also tied Indiana’s total.

Syracuse head coach Ange Bradley declined to speak to the media after the game.

Tufts has appeared in 10 games this season, playing in each of the last six, including a 5-0 win over Cornell in which she scored her first goal of the year. While this was just her first start this season, she made two starts last season.

“No matter what if she starts or not … her mentality is all the same,” junior back Lies Lagerweij said of Tufts. “She just goes for it.”

Whether it was waiting for a ball to be centered inside the circle or driving past Hoosier defenders, Tufts brought a spark to the Orange offense. On nearly every play, she was right beside her teammates, ready to keep the possession going with a quick pass or shot on goal.

“That’s what our mentality is as forwards,” Tufts said on her aggressiveness and activity inside the circle. “Shark attack mentality. Anything you can get a stick on.” csdistur@syr.edu |@charliedist

Syracuse, which plays Thursday at Wake Forest, has scored five goals in its last two games since being shutout to Virginia.

After beating two straight ACC opponents at the beginning of the month, SU has lost four of its last five games, including Sunday’s. sabrina koenig staff photographer

Indiana from giving up more transition goals.

The final regular season game of the year for the Orange capped off an undefeated season on its home turf.

Second-seeded Syracuse will play host school No. 18 and seventh-seeded Wake Forest (10-7, 0-6 Atlantic Coast) in the first round of ACC tournament on Thursday at 1:30 p.m.

“Last game we were so close to getting a shutout and we lost it in the last four minutes,” goalie Regan Spencer said. “So being able to come out and get the shutout today, I think was a big confidence booster for us headed into the post season.”

On SU’s first goal, Sack gathered the ball in Syracuse’s own zone and darted down the field. After a missed opportunity from Sack, Emma Lamison set up Erin Gillingham, who played the ball off an Indiana player, earning a corner for SU. Laura Hurff scored off the corner that was earned via the Orange’s transition offense.

“Stay tight,” head coach Ange Bradley yelled in the direction of her players in the midst of a clear. (Bradley declined to speak to the media after the game.) This cohesion from the backfield up to the forwards led to Syracuse’s second goal of the game.

Faced with one of the two Indiana corners in the game, Orange defenders darted toward the Indiana shooter. Sack blocked the shot with her body, denying an Indiana opportunity to score a game-tying goal.

SU sent the ball deep down the field before most Indiana players had time to recover. Carey took advantage of the oddplayer situation as she worked goal-line extended before finding Tufts for an aerial goal that arced over the goalie’s head.

“We really worked on that counter control and countering,” Tufts said. “We just want get that quick counter and catch them on their heels.”

Spencer needed only three saves to secure the shutout. The Orange allowed only two corners in the game. Its tenacious defense kept Indiana off the board and turned into offense.

On several occasions, Sack and Carey intercepted passes turning defense into quick strike offensive opportunities. With Indiana defenders caught off guard, Syracuse forwards wasted no time, as they immediately brought the ball to the Indiana cage.

In the regular season-ending win over Indiana on Sunday, efficient transitions opened up the field for the Orange, creating high-chance opportunities and powering the offense. jlschafe@syr.edu

Jalissa Trotter produces career day in Orange’s loss to Duke

By Kaci Wasilewski staff writer

long games A Brigham Young-Toledo game broadcast on ESPN last month was so long that broadcaster Mack Brown left in the fourth quarter to catch his flight. The Orange hasn’t played a game in under three hours since 2014 and, just last weekend, Texas’ upset win over then-No. 8 Baylor —featuring two no-huddle offenses — lasted 4 hours, 8 minutes.

It’s no coincidence some of the longest average game lengths belong to Baylor, West Virginia, Texas A&M and Syracuse — all schools that run a hurry-up spread offense.

Increased plays, pass attempts, incompletions and longer drives come as a result.

Last year, Bowling Green’s non-overtime games clocked in at 3:39 and Baylor’s at 3:34.

Amid its first year of the spread, Syracuse sits at 3:34. All three programs have run the hurry-up Baylor offense. Babers has coached at each, including most recently as head coach at BGSU for two years before joining SU. Teams that milk the clock via run-first offenses, by contrast, tend to commit fewer turnovers. This style of play lends itself to less scoring, fewer changes of possession and clock stoppages. In 2014 and 2015, years Syracuse ran a slower offense, its average game length checked in a 3:21, 15 minutes faster than this year. The proliferation of both nohuddle offenses and televised matches contribute to elongated games across the nation.

“It’s something that we’ve been dealing with in college football since people started going tempo,” North Carolina head coach Larry Fedora said.

Rodney Paul, a professor of sport management in the David B. Falk College of Sport and Human Dynamics, said games are getting longer not only because of no-huddle offenses but also the need networks feel to televise as many games as possible.

No matter a team’s style of play, networks require a set number of commercial breaks, whether it’s a blowout or nail-biter. The use of review, coupled with longer and more frequent commercials, further elongate games. The tradeoff for networks lies in harder-to-schedule lineups. When games run long, they extend into the next scheduled event’s window.

“TV revenue is so important, and so all of the sudden you’re getting overlap into what you might be able to cover,” Paul said. “It’s a little bit tricky. You’re cutting into other games.”

By expanding timeouts and eroding the flow of the game, networks may be cutting off themselves and those they cover. Leagues and programs are grappling with large problems of their own: declining attendance. The pressure has fallen on leagues to shorten games as fans elect alternative ways to spend Saturday afternoons. Efforts to shorten games and better reach the captive audience could put to rest

the steady increase in the length of games.

There may be no magic bullet, though small changes could help. ACC coaches said last week that they are generally not in favor of rule changes to shorten the length of games. In 2006, the NCAA implemented two rule changes in an effort to shorten the length of games: start the clock on kickoffs and begin the play clock even on change of possession.

The rules did not sit well with coaches, as teams lost out on possessions. The guidelines were scraped the next season.

There are factors that have a harder-toquantify impact, such as officiating. The ACC has amped up efforts to increase in-game efficiency, said Michael Strickland, the ACC’s senior associate commissioner for football.

ACC administrators work with referees on spotting the ball for play sooner out of breaks.

After timeouts, teams should be lined up and ready to go, not huddled on the sidelines, Strickland said. The ACC’s average game length, he noted, is shortest among Power 5 conferences.

“We don’t have a whole lot of people that are overly concerned about life of game,” Strickland said. “If we were pushing four hours, perhaps that would change … The 2 hour, 51 minute games are still possible.”

What may soon concern coaches is the toll longer games have on players. Such games generally prompt more snaps, which means players are at an increased risk of injury. The more players are on the field, “you start worrying about the number of exposures a player has to injury,” Duke head coach David Cutcliffe said.

Teams usually eat three and a half to four hours before kick, but that could soon change. Air Force has experimented with moving its pregame mealtime closer to kickoff to better prepare players for long outings on the field. ACC coaches said they may consider speaking with team nutritionists about eating closer to start times.

“You see games go super long, you’ve got to look at student athletes and decide when is enough enough?” Miami head coach Mark Richt said. “If you eat four hours before the game and the game lasts four hours, that’s quite a long time.”

The Pac-12 Conference’s commissioner, Larry Scott, has expressed a desire for new rule changes to shorten games. One of which would explore the NFL’s running clock policy. The clock doesn’t stop after first downs in the NFL, whereas in college football, it does.

For now, it may take months for any change.

The NCAA is forming a committee that will address ideal game length, according to The Wall Street Journal. Whether the steady increase in long games will plateau remains to be seen.

“If you like seeing the ball in the air and you like seeing that kind of football,” Babers said, “I think that’s what we’re going to have to grow accustomed to.” mguti100@syr.edu | @Matthewgut21

LONG AND GRUELING

AVERAGE GAME DURATION

JALISSA TROTTER posted career highs in digs, points and kills. The sophomore’s performance was SU’s highlight in the loss. ally moreo asst. photo editor

Duke’s Sasha Karelov’s powered the ball into Syracuse territory. After a dig, it touched the fingertips of Kendra Lukacs, who set the ball to Jalissa Trotter. She then nailed it into the floor on Duke’s side of the net. SU fans screamed in unison as Syracuse won the second set, 25-23, after struggling in the first, losing 25-15.

“I wanted it and I knew my team wanted it,” Trotter said. “I did my job.”

The Orange (6-16, 5-7 Atlantic Coast) struggled in the first set of a 3-1 loss to Duke (16-6, 10-2 Atlantic Coast) on Sunday in the Women’s Building, but managed to keep the next three sets close partly because of Trotter’s strong effort.

The sophomore came in first or second in four different statistical categories. Her .304 hitting percentage was second to Santita Ebangwese’s .412 percentage and her 18 assists fell behind only Annie Bozzo’s 23.

Trotter tallied four blocks and only Levert had more (five). Trotter posted career highs

in digs (16), points (10.5) and kills (eight).

Six of Trotter’s assists, four of her kills and three of her blocks came in the second set, the only set the Orange won. Midway through that set, with the score at 9-9, Duke’s Anna Kropf hit the ball into Trotter and Ebangwese. The pair blocked it, giving SU its first lead of the game.

“I just try to stay aggressive regardless of which position I’m playing,” Trotter said.

Syracuse held the lead only six more times throughout the rest of the game. In the third set, Duke started with a 6-1 lead.

Then Trotter added three of the next four points. She scored the first of off a set

by Bozzo. One point later, Trotter blocked Jamie Stivers. As the ball hit the ground, Trotter turned toward the rest of her teammates on the court, arms extended at her sides, screaming “yeah.” Another SU point later, Bozzo set up Trotter. Once again, the latter slammed the ball to Duke’s side of the court, bringing the score to 6-5, Duke.

But Trotter’s best efforts weren’t enough.

While the NCAA average game length has crept to three and a half hours in recent years, NFL games have lingered only a little over the three-hour mark. (College football halftime length is 20 minutes compared with the NFL’s 12-minute intermission.)

Syracuse football leads way as college games grow longer

By Matthew Gutierrez asst. copy editor

I

n November 1912, C.P. Hutchins pulled out a stopwatch and timed a college football game. The former Syracuse head coach (1905-06) wanted to find how much of an hourslong battle comprised actual play. Amount of action: 13 minutes, 16 seconds.

More than a century later, little has changed in this sense — games still average only 11 to 15 minutes of action. But the length of games has grown longer.

FBS average game lengths this season have crept up to three and a half hours from 3 hours,

11 minutes just eight years ago. Oklahoma State averages the longest games in the country this year at more than four hours. Thirty-seven teams average at least three and a half hour games through Week 9 this season. In 2009, no teams had an average game length that long.

Among the leading culprits is Syracuse. The Orange’s average game duration this year, 3 hours, 34 minutes, is almost 10 minutes longer than the FBS average and 20 minutes longer than SU’s average two years ago. No-huddle offenses are one of the chief causes. With his up-tempo, no-huddling scheme, Dino Babers’ first conference game at Syracuse against Louisville, another

football

hurry-up team, took 3 hours, 55 minutes — longer than any SU game in the previous three seasons.

The irony of no-huddle offenses slowing down games may baffle some, but it makes sense: More passing and scoring leads to extra changes of possession and clock stoppages.

“We’ve got to remember that 15 to 20 years ago we didn’t have instant replay, we didn’t have all the ESPN, ABC, CBS, all these different TV timeouts that really slow down the game,” Babers said. “Also, I think football teams are throwing the ball more than they threw the ball 20 years ago, and when you have an incomplete pass the clock stops.” see long

SU-Clemson set for SU counterattack takes down IU 3:30 p.m. on Saturday

By Josh Schafer staff writer

By Jon Mettus asst. sports editor

Syracuse and No. 3 Clemson will kickoff on Saturday at 3:30 p.m. from Memorial Stadium in South Carolina, the Atlantic Coast Conference announced Sunday. The game will broadcast on ABC/ESPN2.

The times are usually announced on the Monday more than a week before the games, but ESPN exercised its six-day option on that and other ACC games.

SU (4-4, 2-2 Atlantic Coast) is coming off a much-needed bye week and has won two games in a row. jrmettus@syr.edu | @jmettus

Lies Lagerweij pushed the ball forward with a powerful stroke to Elaine Carey. From Carey, the ball indiana 0 moved to syracuse 3 a streaking Liz Sack.

As Sack approached the circle, she nudged the ball forward past an

Indiana defender to Emma Tufts.

Tufts was denied on the doorstep

by Indiana goalie Katie Johnson for one of her season high eleven saves.

But the precision passing on the breakout was noteworthy.

“Our link up was good,” Lagerweij said. “We were closer to each other so it was more, small pass, long pass, small pass. … (We had) a little more variety in our passing and a high tempo today.”

Quick transition from defense to offense created odd-player opportunities, leading to the first two goals as No. 2 Syracuse (14-2, 4-2 Atlantic Coast) blanked Indiana (8-11, 3-5 Big Ten) 3-0 in SU’s fourth shutout of the season. Syracuse outshot Indiana 22 to five on Sunday at J.S. Coyne Stadium. The Hoosiers’ goalie made several impressive stops on the counter attack chances, saving see indiana page 14
