SU offers grant for child care By Kayli Thompson contributing writer
Syracuse University will offer child care grants to graduate students for the first time starting in the spring semester. The pilot grant program will provide full-time graduate students $375 per eligible child younger than 6-years-old, capped at $750, or two children per household for the spring 2015 semester, according to the application form. The application deadline is Nov. 3.

yracuse University administrators plan to create task forces and seek input from students and faculty to address diversity and inclusion issues following a campus-wide forum held on Thursday. “Express Yourself: A Syracuse University Community Conversation on Diversity and Inclusion” was held in Hendricks Chapel on Thursday afternoon. The forum was initially organized because of derogatory comments made by Hanna Strong, an SU women’s soccer player,
in a video posted online last month. Both student leaders and university administrators organized the event. Dean of Student Affairs Rebecca Reed Kantrowitz, said when the forum was organized, student leaders and administrators formatted it to promote more open discussion. “We did not want this to be an administrative forum where we were just talking at students,” she said. In the beginning of the forum, Chancellor Kent Syverud briefly addressed the audience. During the forum, Syverud said the issues being discussed were much larger than the Strong video itself.

This will relieve a little bit of the pressure, a little bit of the financial pressure on graduate students with children. Patrick Neary gso president
The pilot program comes after the university created a similar program for faculty and staff last fall, said Kal Alston, senior vice president for human capital development, in an email. Because the program was so successful, she said, the Office of Human Capital Development collaborated with the Child Care Advocacy Committee to provide one for graduate students. “The university wanted to extend similar support to graduate students to help underwrite the costs of child care,” she said. So far 19 students have applied with one of the students applying and having all necessary tax information submitted within two hours after the announcement of the program, Alston said.

NYC native runs popular Instagram food account By Alex Erdekian asst. copy editor
Photos of birthday cake truffles, a gooey chocolate marshmallow pizza and a giant fortune cookie sprinkled with powdered sugar are just a few of the posts on Natalie Landsberg’s popular Instagram account new_fork_city, which boasts more than 79,000 followers. Landsberg, an undeclared freshman in the College of Arts and Sciences, created the account with her friends Gillian Presto and Emily Morse in November 2013. Landsberg attended the same high school as Presto and knew Morse from Hebrew school. All three girls lived in New York City. “We had a ton of opportunities to eat out, and every time we went we’d take photos, so we decided to make it into something,” Landsberg said. The account’s popularity skyrocketed overnight after its creation and now gains about 1,000 followers everyday, Landsberg said. She was shocked that new_fork_city took off so quickly. “It was insane,” she said. Although the girls started off by
posting their own photos to new_fork_ city for the first three months, their followers now submit the majority of the posts. Users submit photos by tagging them #newforkcity, and Landsberg chooses a few of them to post each day. To decide which of the thousands of photos to post, Landsberg said she chooses the foods that get the best reactions from followers. More popular foods include macaroni and cheese, desserts and bagels — meat doesn’t usually get as positive of a response. Landsberg said new_fork_city as combines her two interests, food and photography. Landsberg said besides food, she loves photographing people; she’s especially interested in New York street and fashion photography. The freshman’s goal is to eventually have over 100,000 followers. She cites having good public relations abilities and frequently posting content as important skills for running a popular blog. Perseverance and confidence are two other traits she described as important for anyone starting up a new blog. Said Landberg: “Just stick with it the whole way.” aerdekia@syr.edu

Competition brings New York hackers together By Satoshi Sugiyama contributing writer
Hack Upstate had three times as many participants as the ProLiteracy hackathon held earlier this semester, attracting a mixture of 150 students and professionals. Now in its fourth year, Hack Upstate was held this weekend at the Syracuse Tech Garden headquarters in downtown Syracuse. The event, launched in spring 2013, promotes col-
laboration among hackers in upstate New York, boosting its technology sector as well as building a network. Participants divided up into teams compete and are judged on criteria such as creativity and multidisciplinary collaboration. Along with the Tech Garden, AT&T and Syracuse University’s School of Information Studies were sponsors. On Sunday afternoon, Tech Garden announced the winner of Hack Upstate was the team of
Raymond Jacobson, a student from Rensselaer Poly technic Institute. Jacobson developed a program called Sprawl, which would expand bandwidth on the Internet. The grand prize was two GoPro Hero 3 cameras. Meghan Walsh, a senior magazine major, said she participated in the hackathon for the first time because she wanted a new experience. “I think it would be cool to actually see things like ideas translated
into real things,” Walsh said. J.D. Ross, communications director at the iSchool, said the iSchool has been supportive of Hack Upstate. “Anything that we can do to help encourage the hackathon community in Syracuse in central New York, we would like to be a part of,” Ross said. The event has attracted people from various places, including see hack

Community celebrates opening of Trader Joe’s By Madysan Foltz staff writer
The opening weekend of Trader Joe’s in Syracuse was hard to miss as the small parking lot in front of the new grocery store was packed with cars and police who came out to keep order in the lot. The parking lot was organized mayhem, with a mixture of children, families, students and people young and old coming out to try the new diverse supermarket experience. Trader Joe’s newest location is in the Raymour and Flanigan Plaza at 3440 Erie Blvd. East, and had its grand opening this past Friday. Orig-
inally founded in 1958, the grocery store giant now has locations all over the country. The store is 4.8 miles, or roughly 12 minutes, away from the SU campus, according to Google Maps. Jocelyn Yan grew up five miles from the original Trader Joe’s in Pasadena, California. Now that it’s here in Syracuse, Yan feels a little more at home. “I’m really happy that Trader Joe’s came to Syracuse,” said Yan, a senior television, radio and film major. “Having the same products you’ve had as a kid growing up, I guess it’s like a piece of home when you’re so far away from home and your family.” Yan came to the opening week-
end of Trader Joe’s with two of her friends, Aimee Leong, a senior political science major, and Hannah Simon, a fifth year magazine journalism major. All three were extremely excited to have Trader Joe’s in Syracuse for three main reasons — it’s cheaper, it’s more diverse and it’s super close to campus, they said. “I hate Wegmans,” Yan said. “It’s so expensive and I hate the store layout too. Plus, the people that work there are kind of rude in my experience.” Once inside, customers were immediately greeted with bursts of color. Trader Joe’s works hard to maintain a fun connection between their workers and their customers. Many of the
employees wore Hawaiian t-shirts that went hand-in-hand with the store’s low key, fun atmosphere. “I know that the workers at Trader Joe’s are very personable,” Yan said. “I think that helps with service, I think it’s a good thing that’s very casual.” The store is vegetarian and vegan friendly, and offers foods from all areas of the world. Simon said she saw just as many Indian food choices as Mexican food choices, all foods she enjoys. “And they have a really great variety in stuff like prepared foods which as a student I could see being really useful,” Simon said. “If you’re tired coming back from class and see trader

forum After Syverud’s introduction, participants discussed two sets of questions and then broke into individual discussion groups, which Syverud participated in. Syverud ended the forum by summarizing what was discussed as well as the next steps moving forward. Vice Chancellor and Provost Eric Spina and Kantrowitz then addressed several specific demands that student leaders had given the administration. Some of those requests came out of a forum and a rally that were held on Sept. 12 and Sept. 19, respectively. The requests included: — More open dialogues — More preparation for faculty and students in order to engage in discussions on identity and privilege — More involvement from the administration in engaging with student organizations of color — Mandatory dialogue class for all students — More conversations between SU Athletics and the student body — Additional funding for the African-American Studies department Spina and Kantrowitz proposed possible solutions to the requests. One suggested solution was a faculty ambassador program, where faculty members would work as liaisons for certain student organizations. After the forum, Spina and Kantrowitz planned to meet and work closely with those working to address these issues and will update the division of student affairs website as plans for solutions develop, Kantrowitz said. She added
that she and Spina will also look for students to help lead the task forces. Students who swiped their IDs before the event will also receive emails about future updates, she said. As participants entered into Hendricks Chapel for the forum, they were handed postcards with #ExpressSU printed across the top. “What challenges have you faced at Syracuse University?” and “What do you hope for Syracuse University?” were two of the questions on the postcards that helped facilitate the overall discussion. Kantrowitz said she and Spina will review the written responses on the postcards when they meet with the heads of the initiatives as well. The planning committee for Thursday’s forum will also continue meeting to determine future events and to ensure the conversation about inclusion, diversity and identity on campus continues, said Patrick Neary, president of the Graduate Student Organization and a member of the group who helped plan the forum. Neary added that he thinks the forum generated accountability for the administration through the announced task forces. He said that he also appreciated how Spina and Kantrowitz were explicit in naming those in the individual task forces. Neary emphasized the importance for the administration to hear students’ stories, and make sure their experiences are translated into action. “I know that many students are frustrated that they feel like this is yet one more time that they’re being asked to be very open and brave and talk about these stories, when that seems to be all they’re doing,” he said. This diversity forum was not the first time students have been asked to share their stories involving identity at SU, said Brittany Moore, student

engagement chair for the Student Association, who helped facilitate the event. However, because there is a new chancellor, it is important to educate him and other new administrators, she said. “I know that there are people where this isn’t their first forum, this isn’t the first racist or homophobic thing that’s happened on campus,” Moore said. “They (the administration) have to hear our voices, even though we always are kind of sharing our stories.” A silent protest was staged on the steps of Hendricks Chapel by students from the SU chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People during the forum. The protest was held to emphasize the need for action after public conversations are
held about diversity and inclusion. Kal Alston, the senior vice president for human capital development and a member of the forum planning committee said the silent protest proved there is not one unified voice for students on the issue of diversity on campus. She said that she thinks the protest was fair, because there will always be multiple perspectives on one issue. Alston added that the forum achieved its purpose to raise more issues and better understand communities with multiple, intersectional identities. “I don’t think there’s an easy solution, but I do think the more voices we can get, the better off we’ll be,” she said. almerod@syr.edu

yracuse University Greek organizations raised more than $4,300 in 90 minutes for United Way during Dollar Day on Friday. Prior to the Syracuse football game against Louisville Friday night, members of SU fraternities and sororities stood in groups around campus collecting donations for United Way, an organization that funds charities in central New York. This year was the 16th annual Dollar Day, and it is a part of a larger campaign to support United Way that is organized by SU faculty and staff. In past years, the event has raised $2,000 to $5,000 and this year there was a goal of raising $4,000 in the two hours before the game, said Peg Northrup, assistant director of government and community relations at SU and event coordinator. Six weeks of planning and publicity going into the event resulted in the students raising $4,343.29 in only 90 minutes, she said. Prior to the event, Northrup said she reached out to the Greek community at SU, inviting all members to volunteer. The volunteers were divided into 40 teams before the event, and each team was given a location on campus that would have a lot of pedestrian traffic to collect money for United Way. Volunteers were also given posters and props to attract attention, but some groups took it a step further by doing tricks like juggling or cart wheels to persuade the crowd to donate, Northrup said. “We try to make it fun and engaging,” she said. “The fans are very generous.” She added that it taught the students about the organization while giving them the chance to engage and participate firsthand in the support of the charity.
Northrup added that United Way has close ties with the university, and it is unique in that it is the only charity SU staff can make donations to via paycheck. For many students, the event is a positive experience, which leads them to return and participate again. Jeff Yam, a senior information technology and marketing major and a member of the Nu Alpha Phi fraternity, is one of the returnees. This year was Yam’s third time participating in Dollar Day. The event is a friendly competition among peers, each with personal goals, and it was a great opportunity to give back to the community, Yam said. Kelvin Read, a junior television, radio and film and finance major and a member of Phi Delta Theta fraternity said one important reason for volunteering was that it was an ideal opportunity for the Greek community to give back to the local community, as United Way is an organization that supports 91 other local charities. “If you can bring a smile to a face of someone giving money, that always feels good,” Read said as he was asking for donations and giving directions to the fans. Read shared how supporting the cause does a lot of good for a lot of different people. Craig Collie, the United Way liaison with SU, was also present at the event. He became involved with Dollar Day several years ago, and SU is one of his accounts at the organization. He attended the event to share information about United Way, as well as support the students and show the effect they are having on the Syracuse community. Said Collie: “I am excited to see the SU community support the larger community with their time, their talent and their treasure.” eemcdona@syr.edu

letter to the editor
SU students should participate in Orange Central activities In 1870, a lot more was established than just a university in Syracuse. An institution was established that would foster hundreds of traditions over the next 144 years and beyond. The kissing bench has been sealing the romantic fate of couples since the class of 1912 left it there by the Hall of Languages. Winter Carnival has helped get students out of their dorms to enjoy the cold rather than hide from it since 1933. And Homecoming, or Orange Central as it’s now called, began as a way to unite students in Orange against a rival on the football field. This year, Orange Central is Oct. 6–11. On Monday and Tuesday students can pick up their
official Orange Central shirts from the Schine Atrium from 11 a.m.-2 p.m. For years we have been creating specially designed shirts and posters to promote the week’s events and unify the students under one “banner” in a sense, and we hope all of the students who get the T-shirts wear them for the game and keep it for years to come. Sure, not all traditions pass the test of time. So instead of parades and competitions, we have a night of Trivia (Oct. 8), and an amazing Danceworks show where the King and Queen of the Homecoming Court will be announced (Oct. 10). As members of the Traditions Commission we strive to create new traditions that work for this generation of Syracuse students while
remembering that the traditions of supporting and representing all things Orange will never fade. As Orange Central begins this week, it’s the responsibility of the students to participate in the any capacity they can. The Traditions Commission is urging students to get back to the roots of Homecoming and the roots of the university itself by showing pride for this beautiful school on the Hill.

Divest SU member responds to editorial board on divestment protest The Daily Orange editorial “Divest SU protest can’t force change” published on Sept. 30 argues that fossil fuel divestment “cannot happen overnight.” We agree. That is why the nearly unanimous resolutions passed through the Student Association and University Senate in 2013 and 2014 have asked that the university to “begin a process of divestiture from these companies and commingled assets within five years.” Both of these resolutions have been previously reported on and are available to students and faculty. There should be no excuse for missing this key detail. In fact, a Daily Orange article from 2013 is titled
“Group protests SU’s use of fossil fuels, calls for elimination of all fossil fuel investments within five years.” Furthermore, The Daily Orange editorial states that students “are not well-informed enough on SU’s budget to demand divestment.” This claim also lacks background. We know as much as is publicly available and as much as university administrators are willing to tell us. In this regard, the new administration has been less forthcoming. After passing successful resolutions through the two largest democratic bodies on campus, administration declined the oppor-
tunity to divest from fossil fuels this summer and did not invite members of the campaign to its meeting. In contrast, under Chancellor Nancy Cantor’s administration, we met with administrators on three occasions, each time with the University’s Chief Financial Officer and others with direct knowledge of the university’s endowment and budget. Through these meetings, we know that divestment will not be easy, but we ask that university administration sit down with the campaign to talk about a first step. Divestment is a complicated tactic, but when student and faculty representatives have had
the chance to ask questions, read supporting documents and dialogue with us, they have left convinced that the university can and should divest from fossil fuels. It is reasonable, environmentally responsible and necessary given the dire condition our climate is in. We hope that our administration will listen to its students and faculty and take action on this issue. Ultimately, the decision is about what side of history we stand on. Divest SU meets Fridays at 3 p.m. in Smith Hall 003. Ben Kuebrich Composition and cultural rhetoricmajor

Grant should not come from faculty fund Syracuse University should not grant child care stipends to graduate students if the money comes out of the fringe benefit fund university employees contribute to. The university recently announced that starting next semester, graduate students can apply to receive child care grants. Graduate students can receive $375 per semester per child, with a two child maximum. The money for the grants is coming out of a fringe benefit pool university employees — not students — pay into. Taking money from a fund intended for university employee fringe benefits is not fair to the employees who contribute to the fund. The $375 child care stipend
that is granted to graduate students, who apply for it, should instead be used for SU employees that need more aid for child care. The decision to allow graduate students to apply for a child care stipend has good intentions, but it could be improved if the funds came from the Graduate Student Organization, rather than from the employee fringe-benefit fund. According to the GSO’s website, the organization offers start-up funds for GSO recognized groups as well as travel grants for graduate students looking to attend academic or professional conferences. Those grants are funded through student fees paid by graduate students each semester. Just as it would not be fair for graduate
student fees to pay for undergraduate programs, it is not fair for employee fringe benefit funds to pay for child care grants for graduate students. If graduate students feel this is a necessary service, they should encourage the GSO to reallocate some of its budget to provide for those who need child care grants. According to the GSO’s 2013–14 budget, 5 percent of the GSO’s budget already goes toward SU’s day care program. The organization should see if it can allow for child care stipends within its budget as well. The university should not offer child care grants to graduate students until the budget is realigned, instead of taking money from SU employees’ fringe benefit fund.

System for developing vaccines, treatments needs improvements
I
n Monrovia, Liberia, the race against time grows deadlier each day. More than 3,300 people in Western Africa have lost their lives to the Ebola virus. It is the largest outbreak of this virus to date, according to the Center for Disease Control. Within the United States, coordination between pharmaceutical companies and the government has proven clumsy, and a vaccine could have been developed by one individual contractor ahead of time if there was a better process for getting one approved. The lack of cohesion is concerning and more needs to be done to prepare for biological threats in the future. According to an Oct. 2 Washington Post article, Ebola infections are piling up at nearly five per hour, a telling sign that conditions are only crumbling, even with

aid pouring in from fast-acting ground initiatives from the World Health Organization. The global shockwaves this disease has caused are sending legislators into crisis mode, with billions of dollars being poured into the fight to contain the epidemic. Stocks for biomedical companies have performed wildly amid the anticipation of a vaccine or treatment. But there is a lot of uncertainty surrounding them, as no investor — speculator, in this case — can be sure whether any company will develop a successful drug. According to a Oct. 1 CNNMoney report, shares of Tekmira Pharmaceuticals, which is developing

a trial drug to fight the virus, shot up 18 percent last Wednesday, and then another 45 percent on Friday following Obama’s referral to Ebola as a “growing threat to regional and national security.” Several other biomedical stocks jumped as well. NewLink Genetics, another company looking for a vaccine, hiked 14 percent after news hit of the Ebola patient in Dallas. BioCryst Pharmaceuticals and Sarepta Therapeutics are others with significant gains. The question here is why there is no company manufacturing a mass-market vaccine or treatment. Why are multiple players in pharmaceuticals simply taking shots in the dark without a unified central approach from a corporation with a government contract? The answer is because the United States is fantastically unprepared to deal with
the outbreak efficiently. Treatments issued through the United States must be approved through the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) before being distributed, a process that North Carolina Sen. Richard Burr called a “valley of death” in Businessweek’s Sept. 24 special report. According to the article, Burr teamed up with other legislators in 2009 to create a fast track for new drugs to be approved through a new government agency called the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority. Chasing the dream of crossing red tape and efficiently approving drugs for mass production in times of crisis, BARDA was funded about a tenth of what it needed. It is not the United States’ job to single handedly quell foreign epidemics. Ebola is not an Uncle Sam
screw-up. But there are still hundreds of millions of dollars being sent overseas and drug companies scrambling for a solution, and they won’t find one in time. If the U.S. aims to consider itself a global superpower, it must “function like a drugmaker,” as Brendan Greeley said in the Businessweek report. The Ebola virus likely won’t develop into much of a concern within our borders. But biological threats are serious, and the unpreparedness this time around leaves us to hope that vaccines and treatments are developed before the next time an infectious disease becomes a serious problem.

hack upstate Syracuse, Rochester and Albany. Kershaw said Hack Upstate is committed to being inclusive and attracting people regardless of background. He said even though most of the participants are students, there is always a mix of professionals and community members. “It is really a nice heterogeneous mix of different talents, different skills and different personalities,” Kershaw said. He added that the number of women, minorities and out-of-state participants signing up for hackathons has increased. Sebastian Sarbora, a junior computer science major at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, brought six hackathon club members to the event. Having previously participated in other hackathons, he said he would hope to “learn something new and make cool projects.” Doug Crescenzi, an SU alumnus who is one of the founders of Hack Upstate, said his biggest takeaway from the hackathon is seeing people build new products and learn. “Folks will tell you that folks will learn more here in 24 hours than they will in a semester,” Crescenzi said. He said the idea of establishing the hackfrom page 3

athon came up two years ago while he was talking with his friend over a glass of beer. He realized there is a “tremendous amount of tech talent” in and throughout upstate New York, specifically in the Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse, Albany, Binghamton and Ithaca areas. However, he said the network and collaboration among them was insufficient.

“We knew that there is too much of a disconnect, so it was really important for us to figure out a way to bring these folks together,” he said. Crescenzi said Hack Upstate was successful thanks to these underlining messages to bring tech talent together and to put upstate New York on the map as a technology hub. ssugiyam@syr.edu
“The way (pre-packaged food is) prepared and the type of ingredients they put into it sounds better to me,” Simon said. “I feel like it’s a step up from a lot of the things at the grocery store. Even like the frozen foods like the vegetables that they chose and the different preservatives are a lot better.” At the back of the store, employees were handing out free samples of some of Trader Joe’s

childcare on the details of the policy and helped decide the amount of the subsidy, he said. Neary said the subsidy isn’t particularly large, which is due in part to some legal requirements from the Internal Revenue Service on how much money can be given to people for child care and also because of budgeting. The money is being taken from the fringe benefit pool, which SU employees pay into for these types of programs, but SU students do not pay into it, Neary said. SU and the Child Care Advocacy Committee weren’t sure how many would apply for it and wanted to be conservative with the initial amount so that they didn’t run out of money, he said. Courtney O’Dell, a doctoral student in the religion department, is in the process of applying for the stipend. O’Dell has two children and she currently sends one of her children to a preschool while she has two babysitters come to the house to watch her kids, she said in an email. O’Dell said she and her husband pay between $1,200 and $1,600 a month for child care, which can vary depending on how much
most popular brand food items. Leong said she tried pumpkin brittle and a peanut butter crunch spread that were “delicious.” Other popular Trader Joe’s food options include Speculoos Cookie Butter, $2 wine called Two Buck Chuck, pumpkin macaroons, frozen tikka masala and a variety of dips like spinach and kale Greek yogurt dip. The store places a strong emphasis on
work her husband and her have. While preschool for one of her children is free because he has special needs and his tuition is covered by the city of Syracuse, this doesn’t cover the after-school care needed, she said. She said she will use the stipend to help with the cost of child care. “But the reality is that this is a tiny band aid measure at most,” O’Dell said. “It is important to point out that every little bit of funding helps but I also think it is OK to advocate for child care subsidies for graduate students.” There will be a reassessment done in the spring or summer in which SU and the Child Care Advocacy Committee will decide whether to continue the program and how much money should continue to be offered, Neary said. Neary said he believes SU has recognized that affordable child care is difficult to find and that campus day cares have physical space limits. It displays a commitment from the university to be supportive of students who are parents, he said. Said Neary: “I hope that this represents a first step in continuing to make efforts toward providing more cost effective child care and is not the only step.” kathomps@syr.edu
organic, fresh fruits and vegetables. Customers will have a hard time not finding something new among the shelves that they may not have even realized existed, Leong said. Said Leong: “If you’re looking for something different on the shelf, definitely go to Trader Joe’s because I feel like you’ll find something different every time.” mgfoltz@syr.edu

Road races draw many to compete 22nd annual Syracuse Festival of Races features four road races at Manley By Brendan Krisel asst. feature editor
Step up to the plate There’s more to SUperfood money than just iced coffee and snacks from vending machines. Plenty of dining locations around campus serve tasty dishes such as fried shrimp and stuffed red peppers, and accept your SU ID card for payment. Pulp visits these locations and highlights some of these delicious options. –Compiled by the Pulp staff, pulp@dailyorange.com
Where: Slocum Café How Much: $6.90 What: The cheesy grilled Portobello mushroom sandwich found in Slocum Café is different from traditional paninis found around campus with its fresh bread and juicy mushrooms. The cafe is located downstairs in the Slocum Hall architecture building.
Where: Kimmel Food Court How Much: $5.90 for three sliders What: Trios, Kimmel Food Court’s version of Sliders on Marshall Street, brings the West Coast to Syracuse through its California veggie sliders. Made with a patty of lettuce, corn, carrots and tomatoes that sits on an avocado salsa, the slider provides a good alternative for those looking for a vegetarian option.
Where: Dineen Café How much: $3.95 What: The Oreo chocolate cake is one of the many sweet options at Dineen Café. The cake was incredibly rich. Its thick texture, mixed with gooey chocolate and real Oreo crumbles on top will please any chocolate lover.
Where: Goldstein Alumni & Faculty Center How Much: $9.25 What: The quinoa-stuffed red pepper’s black beans, sweet potatos and red pepper sauce blend together nicely and taste fresh. Goldstein Alumni & Faculty Center offers to-go services, so students can pick up restaurant quality dishes in less than 10 minutes after they call in their order.

For many people in Syracuse, this Sunday was anything but lazy. Hundreds of people woke up early to congregate at the Manley Field House for the 22nd annual Syracuse Festival of Races. Some raced, walked and cheered as the day hosted both competitive races and community events for local nonprofit organizations. Four races were held Sunday morning: the Bankers Healthcare Group INC. Men’s 5K, the MVP Health Care Women’s 5K, the 3K Fun & Fitness Run and the Tops Friendly Markets Community Walk. “We have separate men’s and women’s 5Ks rather than having men, women, boys and girl lumped together, so we can be a full family event,” said Dave Oja, founder and director of the festival. While the festival placed emphasis on the community and family, it remained a competitive venue, Oja said. “This is the stand-out race on the Syracuse running calendar that attracts visitors who come to Syracuse just for the purpose of running a race,” Oja said. The area surrounding Manley Field House was transformed for the event. A cool, clear day provided the setting for tents and tables to line Skytop Road. Nonprofits such as the Cpl. Kyle R. Schneider Freedom Team and the Learning Disabilities Association of Central New York raised funds as volunteers handed out free food and Starbucks coffee. Throughout the festival, Oja’s voice could be heard over the PA system, getting the crowd excited for the day’s events. “It’s great to see you doing something really good for yourself on a beautiful day in central New York,” Oja said as people prepared to race. Chris Robinson, who volunteered at the festival for the second consecutive year, said that racing isn’t the only highlight of the day. see races page 15

Fashion magazines must place emphasis on online content, mobility
A
bout two months ago, Vogue was falling behind its competitors. But not anymore. In mid-August, Vogue relaunched its website to amplify the tone of the magazine and extend it to those who are more web-savvy. Websites allow quicker release to readers, more volume per category and everything that digital media supports, such as high resolution photos, videos, GIFs and more. This glossy makeover was necessary. Vogue is aspirational, and now Vogue.com resonates that as well. The past several years of magazine publishing have been a period of rapid innovation. Led by the recession beginning in 2008, fashion magazines have shifted their primary means of reaching their target audiences from print to online journalism. To me, gathering my fashion news from magazines’ websites is always a guarantee of the most immediate, up-to-date information. No limits, no release date and the stories are published, posted and shared widely. I love the look and feel of a magazine, but the Web offers so many extensive tools and different
ZOE MALLIAROS
RUNNING IN HEELS
points of view that it’s hard not to welcome it with open arms. Websites have to be relevant; they must reflect current issues in a way that’s digestible. Like Vogue and Vogue.com, the “Web edition” must be consistent and emphasize the same tone, but that doesn’t mean the two must be identical in what’s published. Before Vogue.com was reborn, Cosmopolitan.com rebranded its online presence and took the lead among its magazine competitors. Alie Martell, managing editor of Cosmopolitan.com, said in a Magazine Department Speaker Series forum Sept. 30 that after its relaunch in August, the website doubled its traffic and had 30 million unique visits. Martell emphasized the importance of a strong online presence. Now, Cosmopolitan. com posts 40 to 50 stories per day and is syndicated with other Hearst publications. This
change attracts new readers and, most importantly, creates a whole new target of people to share stories on social media. “We publish (online) stories that readers can take something away from. We want them to read and immediately share it with their friends,” Martell said during the lecture. “If something works well, we’ll do it in every possible way.” The Internet is quick and efficient. Online journalists can report on stories the second they become news and can update those stories whenever necessary. There are no word or page limits, so the opportunities for information are endless. “If print interviews four women, it may only have room to include three in the article because of word counts,” Martell said last Tuesday. “The great thing about online is that we can include that fourth interview. It fits.” Another favorable aspect of Web is that magazines can extend themselves further as brands because — let’s face it — everyone is online. They can attract greater attention and traffic to themselves by appealing to readers
in more than one way. Branching out of the norm and doing it well is critical. The most obvious advantage of an online presence is the appearance of a magazine’s site on a mobile phone. Readers are on the go and grabbing content from sites during their commutes, on their breaks, during meetings and more. The platform of a magazine’s website must be aesthetically pleasing. No one wants to read from an ugly website. It’s distracting. It takes away from the work elsewhere on the site. Looking good on mobile is key. Though the voice and mission statement of magazines have remained the same from print to web, time, technology and the demand for the latest news as it happens have continued to shape the ever-changing industry. The fashion industry has embraced this progression and created new ways of catering to readers everywhere and anywhere they may be. Zoe Malliaros is a sophomore advertising major.

Popular food truck Street Eats opens permanent location on James Street
By Rohan Thakore staff writer
T
he Imperial Garden apartment building, located directly on James Street, is an unlikely place for a restaurant. Yet, this multi-storied nondescript housing complex hosts one of the tastiest eateries in Syracuse. You’re just going to need to find it first. The only indication that Street Eats is even located in this building is the small sign on the front lawn of the apartment complex. Even with an arrow pointed toward the building, it took some exploring to realize it was tucked away behind the traffic and noise of the busy street. Street Eats was the brainchild of Steve LeClair, who opened the restaurant a few years ago. Originally, Street Eats was a food truck cruising around Syracuse serving tasty and creative soups, salads and sandwiches at a reasonable price. Now, with a permanent location and a new owner and chef Paul Cox, Street Eats can now function year-round and continue to serve the loyal fans it built up through the years. The space is tiny, with only a few wooden tables and chairs able to fit inside. There are some seats and tables outside, although the scant views and industrial noise coming from the ventilation units didn’t quite have the same charm as inside. The walls are stacked with hand-drawn, colorful food illustrations of goat cheese and exotic mushrooms. A slanted wooden bar sitting area is perched underneath a huge chalkboard that features a menu that changes daily. The kitchen is just about as big as the dining room. But there isn’t a large crew prepping and serving the meals. It is a singular operation, run by Cox. The menu, which is posted everyday on the restaurant’s Facebook page, features a good balance of options and hearty portions. Items that caught my eye were the Galveston club sandwich, the corned beef sandwich, the meatball sub, the tacos and the sausage and autumn vegetable soup. The Galveston club is a layered sandwich with house-roasted turkey, bacon, provolone cheese, guacamole, lettuce and tomato. Served between two substantial buns, the flavor combinations

were solid, although it was more of a glorified BLT than anything else. The turkey, which could have used a little more seasoning and smokiness, was a nice compliment to the guacamole. Although tasty, there wasn’t anything memorable about this sandwich. It could have used a kick of heat from something spicy or some sort of sauce to complement it. Overall, it was my least favorite menu item. However, the tacos and the corned beef sandwich both had redeeming qualities. The tacos featured Jamaican jerk chicken, cabbage slaw, pineapple, queso fresco and raspberry sour cream. The chicken was tender and juicy, which worked nicely with the crisp cabbage. The rest of the dish added a
sweet note to the seasoned chicken; although the pineapples and sour cream would have worked a little better had the meat had more of a spicy jerk punch to it. The corned beef sandwich was more simple, with Guinness braised cabbage, Swiss cheese, and Russian dressing on rye. The corned beef was served perfectly with the cabbage and offset with the fatty base layer created by the dressing. My favorites were the meatball sub and soup. Like any good meatball sub, the focus has to be on the meat and bread. This sub had huge meatballs, seasoned nicely and covered with marinara. Served warm on a crispy fresh baguette and rounded out with escarole, peppers and
Gorgonzola sprinkled on top, the sub was just full of flavor. Every component had a purpose, and together they wed in a perfect union. The same went for the soup. Giant portions of sausage shared space with veggies in a tasty, rich broth. It was simple but perfect and, like the other dishes, incredibly filling. The appeal of a food truck is the mobility. The appeal of a restaurant is the longevity within a community. Street Eats is in the unique position of offering both. Approachable food, served humbly and with care, is a timeless quality for any eatery. It’s just what to expect when eating here. Just be sure to find the place first. rythakor@syr.edu

Syracuse International Film Festival highlights diversity By Madysan Foltz staff writer
Owen Shapiro and Christine Fawcett-Shapiro are on a mission: they want to bring the world to Syracuse. They plan to bring cultural diversity to the Syracuse community during the 11th annual Syracuse International Film Festival, which began Sunday and runs through Oct. 12. The two thought of the idea after they went on a cross-country tour, encountering film festivals in small towns. The festivals, they said, brought “vitality” and “excitement” to the community. Shapiro, a film professor in the College of Visual Performing Arts, knew he needed to bring that atmosphere to Syracuse. “We began as a way for people in Syracuse to see films from international places,” Shapiro said. “There’s a lot of fantastic videos from all over the world.” Although Shapiro is a professor at SU, he said he didn’t want it to be a university event. Rather, he wants it to be a collaboration between the university and the city . Films from all around the world will be showcased at the festival, and Shapiro said each screening is carefully planned to create the best possible outcome. “I think of each of the programs as planning a marriage or bar mitzvah,” Shapiro said. “And there’s 11 or 12 programs, so that’s like planning 11 or 12 marriages for one week.”
Last year, the Syracuse International Film Festival switched from a competition festival to an invitational festival, which means filmmakers are now invited to showcase their work. Fewer films will be screened than in the past, Shapiro said. In addition to film screenings, filmmakers will visit classrooms on the SU campus and talk to students throughout the week, Fawcett-Shapiro said. “It’s an opportunity for a one-on-one experience to meet people that are famous and are doing wonderful things around the world,” she said. Current students and alumni will have the chance to showcase their work at the Carol North Schmuckler New Filmmakers Showcase. Shapiro places a strong emphasis on alumni involvement, and many of SU’s famous acting and directing alumni will return to campus for the festival. Sam Lloyd, a 1985 alumnus, possibly best known for his role as Ted on “Scrubs,” will present his film “Fan Mail,” a piece of work that he calls an homage to silent films, because even though it has sound, his character doesn’t speak. “It’s a kind of a Chaplin-esque, Keaton-esque type film,” Lloyd said. At the end of the day, Fawcett-Shapiro said she hopes the Syracuse International Film Festival will live up to its tagline: “Travel the world and never leave your seat.” “You’ll get to meet not only American filmmakers but filmmakers from India, from Israel, Canada and South America,” Fawcett-Shapiro said. “Being here is like a mini-trip around the world.” mgfoltz@syr.edu

races “When people in the road running world think of Syracuse they automatically think of the Syracuse Festival of Races, and they associate the best with it,” Robinson said. “It’s not just the race — the accommodations are top quality, the food is top quality, the people are top quality. Everything is top-notch.” At 8:50 a.m., the races began. More than 300 runners of all ages and skill levels gathered on East Colvin Street near Manley Field House by the starting line of the Bankers Healthcare Group INC. Men’s 5K. Two of these racers were John Battistelli and Brendan McCauley, SU seniors and members of the running and triathlon clubs who have been running the race for four years. Battistelli, a mechanical engineering major, said the Syracuse Festival of Races 5K is always a competitive event that pushes him to run his fastest times, but it’s not just the race that makes the event memorable. “I like the race because the fastest 5Ks I’ve ever run are here because the course is so flat,” Battistelli said. “Aside from that, I think they put on a really good event with the post-race food and activities.” Less than 15 minutes after the race began, the first runner had crossed the finish line. Joe Whelan, a former SU athlete, ran through archways of orange and blue balloons, down a path lined with colored flags, as spectators yelled and cheered. As more runners completed the race, one constant voice was heard time and time again. It was Oja, shouting out each racer by name. Oja’s passion for the event he founded two

decades ago was evident, Robinson said. “I can’t even describe how good of a job he does,” Robinson said. “And then to watch him as people come across the finish line — he’s commenting on every one of them.” To Oja, the Syracuse Festival of Races has
an effect beyond record setting 5K times. The act of running, either competitively or just for fun, provides great benefits, while the Syracuse Festival of Races provides the venue. “Those people who train to run and run races improve their health. They improve their
wellness, they improve their fitness,” Oja said. “And all that is very good for the individual, and of course, if it’s good for the individual, it’s good for the individual’s family and it’s good for the individual’s community.” bskrisel@syr.edu

Russell scores in double overtime to beat Princeton 4-3 By The Daily Orange Sports Staff the daily orange
Hitting the road to take on Princeton (3-7, 2-1 Ivy), Syracuse field hockey pulled out a thrilling 4-3 double-overtime victory on Sunday. Back Annalena Ulbrich provided two goals for the Orange (8-3, 0-3 Atlantic Coast) before junior forward Emma Russell netted the game-winner. Continuing her impressive freshman year, Ulbrich pushed the Orange out to an early 2-0 lead in the first 30 minutes. She buried the first goal of the game just 1:50 in off of a penalty corner. Freshman midfielder Lieke Visser and senior back Jordan Page were credited with assists. Holding a 1-0 lead just before halftime, Ulbrich struck again on another penalty corner at the 28:41 mark as Visser and Page again recorded assists. But, the momentum that Syracuse appeared to build was nearly wiped out at the 35-minute mark. Princeton’s Cassidy Arner snuck a shot past SU goalkeeper Jess Jecko on a feed from Annabeth Donovan. Thirty-one seconds after halftime, the Tigers’ Maddie Copeland drew things even at 2-2. Just more than four minutes later, Copeland
struck again. After a backhand from Ryan McCarthy trickled through the goalmouth, Copeland was right there to tap it in, giving the Tigers a 3-2 lead. At the 47:51 point, Visser chipped in a rebound off Princeton goalkeeper Anya Gersoff, knotting the score at 3-3. Still tied at three goals each after 70 minutes, Princeton and Syracuse headed to overtime. In the first overtime period, the Orange registered eight shots on goal, but wasn’t able to score the winning goal. The Tigers registered four shots on goal in the first overtime period. However, in the second overtime period, on SU’s third shot on goal of the period, Russell buried a shot from the left post to give SU the victory. After losing its first three ACC games, the Orange has rebounded with nonconference wins over Hofstra and Princeton in the past week, outscoring the two by a combined score of 10-5. Syracuse now turns its attention to its meeting with Louisville (10-2, 3-1) on Saturday at J.S. Coyne Stadium starting at 11 a.m.
SU volleyball drops to UND, BC For the second weekend in a row, Syracuse volleyball struggled on the road against Atlantic
Coast Conference opponents. The Orange lost to Notre Dame (4-11, 1-3 ACC) in four sets and Boston College (7-7, 2-1) in three. SU (7-9, 0-4) has now lost its last four games — all against ACC teams. Notre Dame dominated the first set against the Orange, taking it 25-11. But SU countered in the second, using a Silvi Uattara kill and an attack error by Notre Dame to break a 24-24 tie and win, 26-24. In the third set, Notre Dame took an 8-0 lead to start. Down 18-5, SU scored seven straight points to pull within six, behind Syracuse outside hitter Valeriya Shaipova’s three service aces and one kill. After two Notre Dame attack errors brought the Orange within two, the Fighting Irish took the next two points and the set, 25-21. SU trailed Notre Dame, 20-18, in the fourth set, but the Fighting Irish converted five straight kills to end the match. Against Boston College, Syracuse avoided another slow start. The first set was tied at seven points apiece, but Boston College scored six of the next seven points and eventually won the set, 25-18. The Golden Eagles won a tightly contested second set, 25-22, and the third was even closer. SU held match point twice with leads of 26-25 and 28-27, but Boston College converted the last three points of the set to win, 30-28. ACC play continues for the Orange when it hosts Miami on Friday at 7 p.m.
Syracuse falls flat against No. 3 BC In its first road game of the season, Syracuse ice hockey (1-1) fell to No. 3 Boston College (1-0), 10-2, behind a hat trick from Eagles defender Lexi Bender. Bender’s first goal came only four minutes in on a power play, the first shorthanded goal the Orange has given up this season after killing all eight penalties it faced in its season opener against Colgate. Orange forward Melissa Piacentini, SU’s leading scorer a year ago, answered back less than two minutes later with her first goal of the season. Defenders Nicole Renault and Larissa Martyniuk recorded assists on the play. However, the Orange couldn’t keep it close, surrendering five goals in the next 20 minutes, including Bender’s second and third. With SU down 6-1, freshman forward Stephanie Grossi scored her first collegiate goal on a pass from fellow freshman Alysha Burriss with 5:07 left in the second period. Before the period ended, the Eagles scored a seventh goal on starting goalie Jenn Gilligan, who made 24 saves but was replaced by freshman Abbey Miller before the teams came back out for the third. Miller had seven saves on 10 opportunities in her SU debut.

OFFENSE
The Syracuse offensive coordinator’s play calling was questioned throughout the game, most notably when Terrel Hunt pitched the ball to Adonis Ameen-Moore in the Orange’s own end zone, resulting in a safety. Hunt’s decision to spike the ball with two seconds left in the first half was another head-scratching call as the NCAA rule states that if there are less than three seconds on the clock, a play must be run.

Syracuse edges Virginia Tech 1-0 in double overtime By Josh Hyber staff writer
Shortly before double overtime between Syracuse and Virginia Tech, SU’s Oyvind Alseth and Emil Ekblom planned out what would be the game-winning play. With their plan in action, Alseth sent a cross from his right midfield position into the 18-yard box. SU forward Chris Nanco nicked it to Ekblom, who redirected a shot by Hokies goalkeeper Ben Lundgaard. Ekblom’s goal in the 104th minute snapped a scoreless tie and No. 9 Syracuse (9-1-0, 3-1-0 Atlantic Coast) beat Virginia Tech (7-4-0, 2-2-0) 1-0 on Saturday night at Thompson Field in Blacksburg, Virginia It was also another shutout victory for an SU team that has allowed one goal this season. “They were a handful and for us to find a way right at the end, to come away with three points, I think gutsy is a good word to use,” Syracuse head coach Ian McIntyre said. “We were just lacking a little bit of quality in the final third and finally at the end we had a good finish from Emil.” McIntyre said the Orange gained momentum in the first overtime, but admitted he thought the match looked as if it would end scoreless. SU goalkeeper Alex Bono turned aside six shots, including one in the first overtime, for
his ninth shutout of the season. Five minutes into the first extra-time period, the sophomore keeper turned aside a header from Virginia Tech forward Ricardo John. McIntyre agreed Saturday’s match was much like the gutsy performance it had last week against then-No. 2 Virginia. But with a six-day layoff after Tuesday’s game against Colgate was cancelled, Syracuse had an extra boost. “I think, possibly in a funny way, the (cancellation) on Tuesday probably helped us a little bit tonight,” McIntyre said. “ … It was our first overtime game of the year, and overtime games become very chaotic.” Syracuse’s attack jumped all over Virginia Tech to start the match. The Hokies committed four fouls in the first 15 minutes, and Ekblom and Nick Perea had shot attempts blocked early on. In the 27th minute, Ricardo, who finished with five shots on goal, had two headers turned aside by Bono in a six-second span. The Orange earned its first win, in five tries, against the Virginia Tech program. “It would have been very terrible if we came all the way here and didn’t get a result,” Ekblom said before the team began a 10-hour bus ride back to Syracuse. “We had to work very hard, but I thought we were the better team.” jmhyber@syr.edu

notebook helped us out big-time.” Parris was especially helpful on third downs, SU offensive coordinator George McDonald said, and gave SU important yards after the catch. He often came in for a running back on thirdand-medium situations and swapped out for ballcarriers when Syracuse wanted a fuller backfield. On third-and-4 at the Louisville 39-yard line on SU’s second drive, he caught a pass at the 30 on the right side of the field and burst through a would-be tackler to the Cardinals’ 27. The Orange went on to score three of its six total points on the drive. “He made some very nice plays, he made some guys miss right after the catch,” McDonald said. “I was very pleased with him, I was happy for him because he’s worked so hard before the injury and then during the injury to get back.”
Lynch leads LBs to strong game Realizing that Gerald Christian had a few steps on him in the flat, Cameron Lynch darted toward the left sideline. Lynch was right on Christian’s back when the Louisville receiver caught a pass from Reggie Bonnafon. It put Lynch in perfect position to strip a ball that Christian never had great control of. That’s exactly what he did, and Wayne Williams recovered the fumble to set Syracuse’s offense up at the Cardinals’ 43. “I just pulled it out,” Lynch said. “I just did what we practice. We practice that a lot so I just did it.” Lynch’s simple explanation of the thengame-changing play was similar to the way SU linebackers coach Clark Lea defined Lynch’s
performance against Louisville on Friday night — something the defense expects, but doesn’t overlook. With Syracuse’s secondary shorthanded by injury to Wayne Morgan, the linebackers, led by Lynch, have been a major part of the Orange’s late-down defense. In the loss, Lynch led the team with seven total tackles, and added a sack, a tackle for loss and the forced fumble, all while helping the SU defense excel in late-down situations. On the season, Lynch has 40 total tackles, 6.5 tackles for loss and 5.5 sacks, which is tied for the thirdmost in the Atlantic Coast Conference. “He’s such a big part of what we do and our identity,” Lea said. “Getting to the quarterback and also being able to do different things in certain downs and Cam and the rest of the linebackers, Marqez (Hodge) and Dyshawn (Davis) also being a part of that.” Lynch and Hodge both collected sacks in the game as SU held the Cardinals to 7-of-16 on third down. That is in large part due to the pressure the outside linebackers generate out of the “Okie” package — in which an extra defensive back replace a defensive lineman on the field. Overall, the Cardinals ran for 178 yards and passed for 174, but most of the damage wasn’t done on late downs. “Generating that pressure on the secondary blitz is huge to our success. I was happy with that,” Lea said. And even as Lynch’s forced fumble was followed by a Terrel Hunt interception, the Syracuse defense remained businesslike. Its statistical and emotional leader made sure of that. Said Lynch: “We got back out there and tried to make it happen.” jcdoug01@syr.edu | @dougherty_jesse jmklinge@syr.edu | @Jacob_Klinger_

Brosnan makes 6 saves in shutout victory over Eagles By Liam Sullivan staff writer
As time wound down, Syracuse goalie Courtney Brosnan put both of her hands in the air and let out a yell. Stephanie Skilton had just found the back of the net with 31 seconds left, bringing Syracuse’s lead to 3-0. Brosnan turned back to the net behind her and gave a celebratory fist pump, knowing victory was assured. “When you get a goal, it’s not like you relax in the back. It’s a little sense of relief, though,” Brosnan said. “To get those goals from the offense tonight was huge.” The freshman had six saves as the Orange (5-5-3, 2-2 Atlantic Coast) defeated Boston College (8-5, 1-3), 3-0, at SU Soccer Stadium on Saturday night. The Eagles attacked all night, totaling 17 shots, but couldn’t beat Brosnan as she logged the second shutout of her career. The shutout was almost in jeopardy early in the second half, while the score was still knotted at zero. A BC defender was able to shoot from up close on the right side of the goal and the ball squirted past Brosnan. But junior forward Erin Simon was in to clear the ball out from around the goal. “BC scoring a goal first would have completely changed the momentum of the game,” Brosnan said. “When I’m not there, Erin stepping up big completely changes the game and keeps us in it.” Boston College’s Hayley Dowd came into the game tied for the lead in the ACC with eight goals

dougherty practice. Like running on third-and-10 only to lose 2 yards, checking to a toss on your own goal line only to give up a safety and telegraphing an interception a play after the defense got you the ball. Then there’s not knowing how many timeouts are left at the end of the first half, moving backward instead of forward in the red zone and otherwise playing with an offense that nearly outscored itself in 60 minutes of play. No amount of defense, toughness or time in
scored, but Saturday night was only the third time the Eagles have been shut out all season. SU head coach Phil Wheddon said he typically asks his goalkeepers to come up with one save a game, and was proud of Brosnan for coming up with two or three big saves. BC’s offense features some extremely fast and technical forwards, Brosnan said, which made communication and help from the defenders in front of her that much more important. Wheddon added that the forwards were some of the best in the conference and that his goalkeeper needed to come up big for the team to get a win. Brosnan has helped her team to two wins in its past three games since returning to play after injuring herself in the preseason. She has started the past five games for the Orange and has allowed five goals while saving 22-of-28 shots. “It’s so comforting having Courtney in net,” said junior defender Taylor Haenlin. “You can definitely play your best knowing you have someone so skilled behind you backing you up.” Leadership from the rear is essential from the goalkeeper, Wheddon said, and Brosnan provided more communication in order to keep the defense more organized. While the Syracuse offense came to life Saturday night for the most goals since Brosnan’s return, maintaining solid goalkeeper play kept SU on the track to victory, Haenlin said. Said Wheddon: “You can’t win without a good goalkeeper.” lpsull01@syr.edu
the film room can heal those kinds of wounds. “It’s tough because when you’re not finishing, it’s not necessarily a function of the scheme. We got to continue to look at it,” McDonald said. And while Syracuse looks at that, it’s hard not to look at the coming weeks and see a season that is all too close to being defined. The Seminoles are next, then Wake Forest and Clemson on the road. Add in Hunt’s uncertain status. Add doubts about Broyld, Estime, Foy and third cornerback Wayne Morgan’s health, too. Then add fake touchdown horns and it all really starts to sting. jcdoug01@syr.edu | @dougherty_jesse

Freshman O’Neill contributes 2 goals in SU’s win over BC By Paul Schwedelson staff writer
Freshman Alana O’Neill subbed into a scoreless game in the 65th minute at forward. It was the first time O’Neill had played the position since high school, but she said Syracuse head coach Phil Wheddon told the defender/midfielder, “I know you used to be a forward, so I’m putting you at forward.” O’Neill scored her first two collegiate goals in SU’s 3-0 win over Boston College (8-5, 1-3 Atlantic Coast) on Saturday night in front of 774 at SU Soccer Stadium. Her second-half performance powered SU (5-5-3, 2-2) after it was outshot by BC, 9-2, in the first half. Stephanie Skilton scored Syracuse’s third goal in the final minute to ice the win. “I thought, ‘Why not give her a chance up front?’” Wheddon said of O’Neill. “I’d like to say it was a great coaching move, but it’s up to her. She found space for herself and she did very well.” Wheddon jokingly complimented his own move, but it worked. Within five minutes of entering, O’Neill missed two chances to score inside BC’s box. Both times she was one-on-one against the goalie. Both times, a BC defender took O’Neill down from behind, but no foul was called. In the 73rd minute, O’Neill received a pass from Maya Pitts outside the box. She took a touch and shot a laser from 25 yards out into the top left corner of the goal. “I realized that I have to shoot a lot earlier, which is why I took the shot from really far out,” O’Neill said. “Well it’s far out for me, because they kept closing in if I dribbled more.”
O’Neill’s second goal came off a corner kick by midfielder Jackie Firenze. O’Neill got caught up in the cluster right in front of goal, but still headed the ball into the net. Syracuse took four shots in the final 20 minutes. While not shooting, the Orange still managed to keep the game tied.
Though Wheddon said the win over BC was massive, he added SU’s passing in the first half was “atrocious.” In the second half, his team began connecting on its passing, which led to a flurry of opportunities and resulted in three goals. Prior to Saturday’s game, the Orange lost three of its last four games largely because of an
inability to put away its chances. Saturday, this wasn’t an issue thanks to O’Neill’s contributions. “If we didn’t have her, we obviously wouldn’t have had the first goal,” Firenze said, “and I’m not sure if the other two would have come, so I’m really proud of her.” pmschwed@syr.edu

CARDINAL SINS Parris emerges as No. 1 TE By Jesse Dougherty and Jacob Klinger the daily orange
Josh Parris was joining the players he was supposed to start the season with when he took the field alongside wide receivers Adrian Flemming, Ben Lewis and Jarrod West on Saturday. Parris earned the starting tight end spot in training camp, only to suffer a knee injury that required surgery on Aug. 20. During Syracuse’s 28-6 loss to Louisville on Friday, he made his full return and consistently provided an intermediate outlet for Terrel Hunt against the Cardinals. At the beginning of the season, SU tight ends coach Bobby Acosta said Parris mostly closely resembled the

SU offense shows why Orange has long season ahead
T
here have been false alarms for Syracuse this season. But none like this. None this loud. In the Orange’s 28-6 loss to Louisville on Friday night, the Carrier Dome touchdown horn sounded off twice in three plays. The Orange didn’t score on either of them. The first was a pass from running back Prince-Tyson Gulley to wide receiver Ben Lewis, which Lewis caught in the end zone and celebrated before right tackle Omari Palmer was flagged as an illegal man downfield. The second was an end-around wide receiver pass from Jarrod West to a wide-open Lewis, which Lewis missed before staring at the ground in disbelief. Each horn added a punctuation mark to an unfinished sentence — two reminders that Syracuse’s offense, at present, can’t even hang

in games. “It’s like working all week and not getting your paycheck,” SU offensive coordinator George McDonald said of those missed opportunities. The Orange (2-3, 0-1 Atlantic Coast) didn’t earn a payday, but there were factors aside from miscommunication and lack of execution that led to the 22-point loss. First, H-back Brisly Estime, top target Ashton Broyld and right tackle Ivan Foy all sat with injuries. Louisville’s run defense came in as the best in the country and held the Orange to a season-low 59 yards on the ground. Finally, Terrel Hunt didn’t look 100 percent after being
banged up against Notre Dame then having to leave the game after he was injured on a hit in the fourth. But the loss still looked something like this: SU’s offense scored six points on two field goals and gave up four points on two safeties — the first of which came on a shotgun toss to Adonis Ameen-Moore that sent him into the end zone. The Carrier Dome was essentially empty when the game clock finally ran out. The offense didn’t execute, the defense bent then finally broke and nothing in Syracuse’s play or postgame assessment of it showed that the execution problems are going to subside. If anything is certain after five games, it’s that Syracuse isn’t ready to compete for wins in the ACC this year. “I think there’s a huge misconception of what toughness is. Toughness isn’t just the physicality of it,” SU head coach Scott Shafer said after
the loss. “Toughness is the ability to get your mind in a very nice place where you can execute better and find that balance. That’s toughness. “Being soft is not having the fortitude to be able to say to yourself, ‘I’ve got to stop thinking about the negatives.’” The injuries and the opponents that Syracuse could hardly control were only compounded by the mistakes it could have. “If they score six points, we have to hold the other team to five,” junior cornerback Julian Whigham said when asked if the lack of finishing frustrated the defense. It’s almost an impossible reality to win in, much like eliminating enough of these errors before No. 1 Florida State visits the Dome on Saturday is a tall, tall order. Some mistakes can be fixed in

Lining up at tight end, in the slot and out wide against the Cardinals, the 6-foot-4, 245-pound Parris gave the Orange 34 yards on five catches — the most by an SU tight end this season — and established himself as a consistent option with first-choice receivers Ashton Broyld and Brisly Estime injured. “He does what he always does, he makes catches,” Orange running back Prince-Tyson Gulley said. ”He was good for us on the tight end, blocking and everything, so he see notebook page 20
