City given $300K to stop gangs

By Taylor Baker CONTRIBUTING WRITER

The U.S. Department of Justice awarded the city of Syracuse a $300,000 grant to prevent future gang violence, city officials announced at a news conference on Thursday afternoon.

The grant was awarded through the Bureau of Justice Assistance’s Violent Gang and Gun Crime Reduction Program for the local program, Syracuse Truce, said Richard Hartunian, U.S. attorney for the Northern District of New York, at the news conference. Syracuse is one of nine cities across the nation receiving the grant.

Drug-related violations rise for 2011

By Casey Fabris ASST. NEWS EDITOR

The number of students receiving judicial referrals for drug law violations more than doubled from 2010 to 2011, according to the most recent Department of Public Safety statistics emailed to students on Friday.

In 2010, there were 82 instances of students receiving judicial referrals regarding drug law violations. This number rose to 181 referrals in 2011, according to the report.

Of the 181 cases regarding illegal drug use, 173 of them took place in a residential facility, according to the report.

Most of the drug law violations are students using marijuana, said

SU alum to speak on finding jobs

By Leslie King

CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Although Scott MacFarlane has his dream job, he wants Syracuse University students to know that getting there wasn’t easy.

Scott Macfarlane

How to get the story and get the job Where: Newhouse II, room 102 When: Today, 7 p.m.

How much: Free “You will get rejected. It will happen several times in your career,” said MacFarlane, a correspondent for Cox Television. “If you haven’t failed enough times as a journalist, you haven’t tried enough.”

MacFarlane, an S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications alumnus, will return to campus on Monday at 7 p.m. to speak in Newhouse II Room 102. He will answer what serve as pressing questions to many: how to get the story and get the job.

The same skill set that allows journalists to get a great story can also help them find a good job, MacFarlane said. Being resourceful and building strong connections through positive relationships can lead to a job.

MacFarlane said these skills have helped him throughout his career.

“When you break big stories you get noticed in other newsrooms. When I broke the story about Michael Vick, it was noteworthy, it got me noticed, it got me exposure,” MacFarlane said.

Frank Currier, a broadcast and digital journalism professor of practice who helped organize MacFarlane’s return to campus, said the speech will be very helpful to seniors and juniors preparing for a career.

For upperclassmen seriously considering their futures and careers, speaking with and listening to someone who has had success in the field is invaluable, Currier said. MacFarlane is a great success story, Currier said, and a hard worker who students can learn a lot from.

Enterprise journalism, Currier said, is not simply about the story for that day; it also takes into consideration the day-two story and the additional stories that will come from the original.

“You can’t go out and chop down a tree; you have to plant a tree that then ultimately bears fruit,” he said. “Not quickly, but consistently.”

John King, a freshman broadcast and digital journalism major, said it’s important to hear alumni speak and that he’s excited to attend the speech.

Phi Delta Theta becomes an official fraternity

By Annie Palmer CONTRIBUTING WRITER

After Phi Delta Theta was the only fraternity last spring to receive a bid from the university to recolonize a chapter on campus, it has gained official recognition.

The process of becoming a fraternity typically takes up to two years to complete, but Phi Delta Theta achieved its full-functioning status as a colony in December of 2011, after just 11 months, said Jonathan Gregalis, public relations chairman for the fraternity.

A colony differs from a fraternity because it does not have the same

NATIONAL MEMBERSHIP 2007 1,655

privileges as a full chapter, such as alumni support and full independence from the international fraternity, Gregalis later said in an email.

After becoming a colony, Phi Delta Theta had to submit a petition outlining the programs and bylaws the organization would follow after becoming an official, recognized chapter, Gregalis said.

“There’s been a lot of hard work, but we’ve come so far in such a short span of time,” said Dwight Stevenson, president of Phi Delta Theta and education graduate student.

The chapter celebrated its reinstallment at the OnCenter Sept. 22,

drawing family, friends and several alumni, according to a Sept. 25 news release from the fraternity.

“It was the culmination of our efforts, and our alumni were proud to experience that moment with us,” Stevenson said.

The ceremony also served as recognition of the Syracuse University chapter’s 125th anniversary.

In honor of this, many SU alumni recounted their legacy as part of Phi Delta Theta, including Story Musgrave, a former NASA astronaut.

Many of the same founding traditions and values, like having brothers become better versions of themselves, are still fostered within Phi Delta Theta’s emerging chapter at SU. Despite an absence of almost 20 years on campus, Phi Delta Theta has been welcomed across campus, and the fraternity has taken the transition in stride.

“As a newer fraternity, we’re in a unique position in that we can set our own precedent,” Stevenson said.

“We’re able to mold ourselves into whatever we want to be and provide a niche that SU needs.”

The fraternity also gives high priority to philanthropy and community outreach, such as fraternity-wide involvement with local organizations in the Syracuse area, said Greco, a sophomore public relations major.

“I wasn’t looking for an atmosphere riddled with the pressure to party,” said Steve Collins, a junior policy studies major. “Phi Delta Theta has a great balance.”

Many of the brothers said the benefits of joining a fraternity have been extensive.

The chapter has formed a strong bond despite the fact that it does not yet have a house. apalme05@syr.edu

LET TERS TO THE EDITOR Community members cannot vilify the University representatives reaffirm Dalai Lama, his nonviolent messages dedication to students’ safety on campus

4 october 1, 2 01 2

Given recent news stories and editorial pieces, we are writing, on behalf of the administration and the Department of Public Safety, simply to reaffirm our strong commitment to student safety and security on and around our campus.

We understand that there has been concern about some recent incidents off campus, particularly on Marshall Street and in the East neighborhood. We want to let the campus community know we take these concerns seriously and that we have undertaken, and will continue to undertake, proactive steps to help foster a safe and secure environment for students and all members of the campus community.

Although DPS and the Syracuse City Police regularly patrol surrounding off-campus areas, both law enforcement agencies have recently redoubled their efforts by instituting new initiatives aimed at promoting a safe environment.

These efforts include intensive nighttime patrols by both DPS and SPD, along with the Onondaga County Sheriff’s Office and the Onondaga County Department of Probation. In addition, DPS has bolstered its own nighttime patrol and investigation activity, increased the capacity of its Walking Escort program and

opinion@ da ilyor a nge.com

expanded its late-night safety escort shuttle (for more details visit publicsafety.syr.edu).

In addition, several weeks ago, the university created an administrative working group that is specifically focused on longer-term efforts that can support and bolster the current law enforcement efforts underway. This group includes leaders of all relevant SU divisions, including the Office of the Chancellor; DPS; Student Affairs; Business, Finance, and Administrative Services; Public Affairs; and Government and Community Relations. We will also continue to interface with Student Association representatives on this important issue to further share information and ideas.

We want to affirm our strong commitment to safety and security at SU, and our belief through strong partnership and collaboration among all members of the university community, we can foster a safe and supportive campus environment.

Sincerely,

Thomas V. Wolfe

SENIOR VICE PRESIDENT AND DEAN OF THE DIVISION OF STUDENT AFFAIRS

DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC SAFET Y

In a recent letter to the editor, progressive members of the campus community were encouraged to oppose the visit of the 14th Dalai Lama because of the social conditions and human rights violations in Tibet before the 1950 Chinese incorporation of the country.

Likewise, the letter claims conditions in Tibet improved dramatically after the Chinese takeover.

It is true Tibet was a feudal theocracy before 1950.

Conditions in jails were deplorable. There was a vast socioeconomic divide between classes. Brutal capital punishment was widely employed. However, starting in 1913, the 13th Dalai Lama initiated a number of radical reforms. Tibet became one of the first nations to outlaw capital punishment, jail conditions improved and the gaps between social classes diminished.

Some aspects of life for Tibetans continued to improve after the Chinese takeover. As the letter points out, life expectancy has increased and a modern infrastructure system is being constructed.

However, the Chinese government’s takeover and occupation of Tibet can also be characterized by pervasive human rights violations.

A 2010 U.S. State Department report cites widespread arbitrary arrests, indefinite detention, despicable prison conditions and torture of Tibetans, many of whom are arrested for political dissent.

The United Nations’ resolution on Tibet states “Chinese occupation of Tibet has been characterized by … murder, rape … and cruel treatment of Tibetans.” The Chinese government continues to repress cultural expression and Buddhist practices by pressuring Tibetans to change their doctrines such that they comply with state political stances and policies.

We should not condemn the Dalai Lama for the sins of his predecessors. By the standards of the letter in question, German Chancellor Angela Merkel should be condemned because of the Nazis.

The Dalai Lama admitted Tibetan society needed drastic redress and enacted several reforms, including the removal of debt inheritance — a construct that kept many people in poverty. The Dalai Lama has repeatedly said he is a simple, Buddhist monk, and stepped down from his political role in Tibet in 2011, delegating his authority to the democratically elected Tibetan government in exile.

Rather than vilify a man who has preached a message of nonviolence, opposed militarism and supported socioeconomic equality, and environmental protection, let us develop a nuanced understanding of his beliefs and role in international politics.

Syracuse grant shows extent of gang problem By awarding the Syracuse community $300,000 to fight gang violence, the full extent of the city’s gang problem is coming to light.

Nine cities were awarded money by the U.S. Department of Justice, signaling the gravity of the problem Syracuse faces. As Syracuse University students, we are sheltered on the Hill and may not be aware of the problems in the city.

But students leave campus for various reasons, including volunteering for projects in the Near Westside or the Southside. Students often move off campus to the East neighborhood as well.

Incidents in the last month have turned student focus toward gangrelated crime in areas surrounding campus, and the grant could not have come at a better time. Police departments can now begin implementing more long-term solutions instead of short-term solutions, like tripling law enforcement during weekend nights.

The university is a huge component of the community. Students only live here for four years, but community members also have interests in the university. Many community members are

EDITORIAL by the daily orange editorial board employed by SU or work at places where students drive business forward.

High-profile figures in the city and the university often discuss “bridging the gap.”Handling this gang problem together may be a way to help close the gap a little more.

The gang problem does not exclude the university, and SU officials must work to make sure Syracuse Truce — the program funded by the $300,000 award — helps ensure safety.

The program will begin next month and will look to prevent community members from joining gangs in addition to the work being done to curb current gang activity.

Though some specifics of the plan have been released, a more detailed plan is necessary to ensure the money does not go to waste. Throwing money at a problem will not necessarily fix it.

Without proper oversight, this money may go to waste and the gangs in Syracuse may continue to cause problems.

Students must concern themselves with concealed weapons laws

magine you’re sitting in class and you know some of your classmates have guns. Feel safe? Scared?

You’re probably scared.

It’s a reality that colleges across the country are facing. Laws regulating college students’ ability to have a handgun concealed on campus have been getting attention over the last few months.

Students on college campuses across the country are being granted the ability to have handguns. Earlier this year, the Colorado Supreme Court struck down a ban that outlawed people from having concealed firearms at the University of Colorado.

The University of Colorado now has to restructure its bans, finding ways to ban concealed handguns in dorms and events. Five states across the country

now permit carrying handguns on public campuses, the Wall Street Journal reported two weeks ago.

In most cases, the campuses are in charge of setting rules for whether or not to allow guns. In more states, there is a push to lessen the restrictions on concealed carry on college campuses.

The common argument is that by allowing students to carry handguns, overall safety is better. Supposedly, people who go on shooting sprees could be deterred because of the threat that others could fire back. Students would be able to better respond to potential crimes and protect themselves.

That logic did not stop the shootings in Aurora, Colo. The shooter was not deterred from the potential of moviegoers carrying concealed guns.

to the left, to the left For some mass shooters, the prospect of being killed after carrying out their attacks is not a concern.

The argument in favor of concealed carry of firearms on college campuses is flawed. We should focus our efforts on making sure irresponsible individuals do not have access to guns.

Having strict regulations on who can own a gun will make us safer.

The learning environment is differ-

ent when guns are introduced into the classroom. Students are put together in tightly crowded buildings — the potential for irresponsible gun use is higher.

We should not have to o carry guns to be safe. We employ police for this reason. Students for Concealed Carry, an organization that advocates in favor of students carrying concealed weapons, believes police are only part of our defense. According to its website, “What is being suggested is that adults with concealed handgun licenses be allowed to protect themselves on college campuses, the same way they’re currently allowed to protect themselves in most other unsecured locations.”

By allowing handguns on campuses, police might be unable to distinguish

individuals committing crimes and those who are defending themselves.

In searching for answers for how to deal with potential mass shootings at colleges, we should try, as best as possible, to stop the potential for violence at the source. We will never get to a point where all dangerous individuals will be restricted from owning guns.

We will not have perfectly safe public spaces, but letting more people own guns on college campuses does not seem to increase safety.

Allowing students to have concealed guns on a college campus is not the answer to the problem.

Better together Partnership between SUNYESF, New York Natural Heritage program increases work opportunities for students

By Tedi Doychinova

S

STAFF WRITER

UNY-ESF and the New York Natural Heritage Program are teaming up to increase research opportunities for both organizations.

The Natural Heritage Program helps agencies and organizations set priorities in land management and conservation. The funding helps support scientists who work in the field to determine the location of rare species throughout the speech. This information is then put into a database for scientists to analyze, according to a Sept. 20 State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry news release.

The program, which is primarily financed by government funds and grants, was seeking an institution to serve as its host and found a partner in ESF. In exchange, ESF will receive about $6.3 million to support the program, according to the release.

DJ Evans, director of the Heritage Program, said she first approached Donald Leopold, chair of the Department of Environmental and Forest Biology and distinguished teaching professor at ESF, about hosting the program a year ago.

“Ten other universities in the US host their state’s Heritage programs so the idea of ESF hosting NY’s wasn’t odd,” Leopold said in an email.

While the group’s headquarters are in Albany, N.Y., the staff will be visiting ESF regularly, according to the release.

The partnership is still in its first semester, but it will have longterm benefits for all of those involved.

The relationship will increase opportunities for undergraduate and graduate students looking to gain significant professional experience with a talented group of biologists, ecologists, GIS analysts and data managers, all working on cataloging the biological diversity of New York, Leopold said.

In the past, ESF students have been able to intern with the program, but soon, additional opportunities for internships, summer employment and short-term contract work will be added, Leopold said.

“These partnerships are typically contracted for five year periods but continue for decades,” he said. “I expect the same with our partnership with the NYNHP.” Leopold said he has two goals for the collaboration. The first is to publish articles and data in peer-reviewed journals that address significant conservation issues that couldn’t be written about without the strong partnership.

Secondly, Leopold said, he’d like to see graduates from his department employed as part of the Heritage Program’s permanent staff.

Said Leopold: “I hope for more permanent opportunities for our best students.” tadoychi@syr.edu

DRUG VIOLATIONS

12,000 undergraduate students and the number of violations each year are around 1,000, it’s a pretty consistent challenge,” he said.

Many of the referrals are related to underage drinking, as most students who live on campus are under the age of 21, Callisto said.

There were 14 arrests for drug law violations on campus and five arrests for liquor law violations on campus in 2011, according to the report.

Burglaries on campus have also gone down slightly, with 10 fewer burglaries taking place on campus in 2011 than in 2010.

Though it’s still early in the year, Callisto said, there has not been any trend of increased crime on campus in the form of violent robberies, assaults or burglaries.

“There’s no reason for us to believe that we’re going to see increases in any of these areas,” he said.

This year’s major concern comes from teenagers from the area coming to campus looking for parties to start trouble and committing crimes of opportunity, Callisto said.

The statistics are based off information reported to DPS, local law enforcement agencies and university officials, according to the report.

FROM PAGE 1

DPS Chief Tony Callisto. These cases typically take place in the dorms and DPS is usually alerted to them by students, resident advisers and Office of Residence Life staff who have seen smoke coming from the dorms, he said.

Students can be referred to the Office of Judicial Affairs, he said. They could also be given court tickets when marijuana usage is reported to DPS, Callisto said.

“Typically, if the amount of marijuana is an actual testable amount of marijuana, then that student is likely to go both to Judicial Affairs and to get a ticket for court,” he said.

If there is not a testable amount of marijuana, or any other kind of drug, but there is evidence of drug usage from smoke or smell, students are typically only sent to Judicial Affairs, he said.

The report also showed liquor law violations resulting in disciplinary actions decreased slightly, from 1,084 in 2010 to 1,057 in 2011.

Callisto said this decrease was “negligible,” and that approximately 1,000 cases a year is a consistent trend.

strong stand against gun and gang violence over the past decade,” he said.

Syracuse Truce aims to bring positive change to neighborhoods that have been plagued by gun crime and gang violence, primarily the West and South side of the city of Syracuse, Hartunian said. The program will start next month and last for two years.

Syracuse Truce involves several different elements to address and resolve gang and gun violence, including enhanced enforcement, street outreach, call-in meetings, featured media, community organizations and evaluation.

The call-in meetings will involve giving a former gang member who is on probation or parole a chance to talk with police, prosecutors, probation officers and social service agencies, Hartunian said.

The media campaign of the program will attempt to deter individuals from joining gangs by publicizing criminal convictions. Convictions will be published on billboards and bus signs, Hartunian said.

When asked how the enforcement will be different under these enhancements, SPD Chief

Frank Fowler said it would be a chance for gang members to learn “it’s time to knock it off.”

“The efforts will be above and beyond what we’ve been able to do in the past,” Fowler said.

In reaction to rumors of gang violence near Syracuse University’s campus, Fowler said the campus is safe and that it is unlikely for gangs to enter school grounds.

He specifically put to rest rumors of gang initiations associated with off-campus parties.

“It is simply not true,” he said.

SPD and the Department of Public Safety work together closely to see that the absolute safety of the students is ensured, Fowler said.

“We work with SU, for SU, by SU. Syracuse University is safe,” he said.

The District Attorney’s Office and local law enforcement agencies collaborate to examine gun crimes and defendants charged with them, and bring prosecutions to the appropriate forums, he said.

Hartunian and his committee, alongside federal law enforcement, realize conviction isn’t the sole resolution to the ongoing problem.

Said Hartunian: “We all understand one thing: We cannot prosecute our way out of the gang and gun violence problem. We know we can’t do that.” tlbaker@syr.edu

CHUCK’S FROM PAGE 1

Theobald said, a message was posted to customers on the bar’s Facebook page in addition to a sign outside of Chuck’s.

“There were a lot of rumors going around,” said Pamela Rizvi, a senior communication sciences and disorders major. “When I was in the library I heard these two guys saying how it was going to be closed for months. I was really upset and shocked.”

Without Chuck’s, Rizvi, like others, had to find another watering hole for the weekend. She spent Saturday inside Lucy’s Retired Surfers Bar and Restaurant, smashed between other students the entire night in a packed environment. Meanwhile, she wondered what was to come of one of her favorite bars.

Theobald has loved Chuck’s for more than 30 years and has no plans to change anything about the bar.

“I wouldn’t change a thing. This place is the bomb,” Theobald said. “The staff is the same, the bartenders are the same and the atmosphere is the same.”

Theobald said he bought the bar because he was looking for “financial diversification” and has been interested in buying a bar on Marshall Street for a period of time.

As a Syracuse native, Theobald said he has

made many friends and memories because of Chuck’s. In the 1970s, Theobald and his friends considered Chuck’s their local hangout spot.

During the ’80s, he promoted environmental benefits at the bar.

“The kids that come here are the same kind of kids I hung out with when I was younger,” Theobald said. “The feel is exactly the same.”

The only major change Theobald plans to make is to use local, eco-friendly products, specifically food ingredients, as a way to help eliminate greenhouse gases and support local businesses.

“This week we’re trying out some new locally grown products,” Theobald said. “We might be partnering with a Syracuse family-run food distributor. We want to support local businesses and local families.”

Hotdogs, for example, will now be provided by local foo Hofmann Theobald said.

Theobald is also considering changing the bar’s process of checking IDs. He is debating providing bouncers with ID scanners in addition to visually checking the IDs. “We’re very serious about it. Unfortunately we can’t let anyone in underage,” Theobald said.

“But there’s nothing better than seeing a kid come in on their 21st birthday and serving them their first drink.”

To Theobald, Chuck’s is more of an institution than a bar. He described it as a place where, on a game day, alumni will come back with their kids. Theobald estimated more than 800,000 people have passed through Chuck’s since its opening.

“Every time I’m here it feels the same,” Theobald said. “It’s the same art, the same graffiti, the same kind of kids. That’s what I love about this place. It’s home to me, and that’s why I think people like it.” mhnewman@syr.edu @mernewman93

Switchfoot performs, excites relaxed crowd

Students battle undead outbreak in campus game of tag

By Claire Dunderman

STAFF WRITER

hen class gets out, the last thing students expect is to find someone in a headband and zombie makeup.

Or seeing people walk across the Quad with armbands carrying Nerf guns, looking around stealthily. For those in Humans vs. Zombies, this is all a part of the experience, and the fun of the game.

Sunday marked the time to put away those Nerf guns, as four humans fell to about 20 zombies. The Endgame, which started at about 5 p.m., was the humans’ last mission to find a “helicopter” — a safe zone from their living-dead counterparts.

But despite their best efforts, the zombies shambled away with a win.

Founded in March 2010, Humans vs. Zombies is now a game with an active participation of 60 to 70 students. The number ranges depending on who is free during the missions.

It’s a game that is open to both the State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry and Syracuse University students. Many people start off as humans with armbands and they carry Nerf guns.

Humans vs. Zombies is similar to tag. The zombies wear colored headbands and have to tag out the humans. Also, the zombies can wear zombie makeup.

“I feel that most of my friends at this school are from Humans vs.

Zombies,” said David Teetz, a junior aerospace engineering and applied math dual major, and one of the administrators for the group. “It’s just really fun, and everyone who does it is great.”

Each game lasts about a week, depending on how well each side plays. The game lasts during and in

“And of course we will continue training in preparation for the zombie apocalypse.”

ADMINISTRATOR FOR HUMANS VS. ZOMBIES

between classes, and humans can be tagged going to and from class.

Many members feel that one of the best parts of the game is the paranoia players experience during the game.

A human could be on his or her way to a class and suddenly be ambushed by a group of zombies. When the player is a zombie, many members enjoy the excitement of scaring and surprising the human players.

“In every game I have been in, for at least one mission per game, a group of humans and I abandon the mission because the zombies outnumber the humans,” said Michael Auyeung, a sophomore forensic science major and fellow administrator. “We have run back to our dorm with the hoard hounding on us.”

The team also does various missions throughout the week, such as scavenger hunts and different tasks, all the while being chased by the zombies.

Sometimes, these missions can be very intense, and there are a few experiences that stick out in some players’ minds.

“The Saltine Massacre was a mission that went totally wrong,” Christopher Debany said. “The humans needed to get near Carnegie, but the zombies moved our objectives. So when we got there, we just got attacked. Only three out of the 20 humans ended up surviving, I think.”

The players can be seen running around all of the SU campus and have built an excellent rapport with the Department of Public Safety.

Switchfoot dared an audience that was flat on its feet to move. Once the band started stuffing its set list with hits, a jumping crowd obliged.

The rock band headlined a concert on Friday night at the Westcott Theater as part of the tour in support of its latest album, “Vice Verses.” Though the album was released last September, the songs the band performed live didn’t sound stale.

The show was the sixth on the band’s fall tour and, as lead singer Jon Foreman confided in the crowd, probably his favorite stop yet.

“It’s going to be great,” said drummer Chad Butler in an interview. “It’s like ‘Around the World in 80 Days.’”

Foreman forged a connection between audience and band when he brought up a fan waving a sign declaring it was his fifth Switchfoot concert and that he knew one of the band’s songs on guitar.

He brought him up onstage,

handed his wide-eyed fan his guitar and let him shred for a song.

“Is your name Jacob? Taylor?

Oh, Caleb,” Foreman said, corrected by audience members. “I knew it had two syllables. I was fishing in the dark.”

The audience erupted into cheers, and the unlikely duo embraced the moment.

Paper Route, an indie rock band hailing from Nashville, Tenn., opened the concert with the stage f lashing with spastic, sickly shades of green light mottled with muted blues and white.

The group’s guitarists swayed around the stage, and singer J.T. Daly quickly broke off opener “Love Letters” to introduce his band to the crowd.

The group, dressed to the nines in collared shirts and blue jeans, teased its latest album, “The Peace of Wild Things,” by playing through several songs from the record to an appreciative, if stationary, audience.

SWITCHFOOT FROM PAGE 9

Paper Route’s set stuck closely to the typical indie rock playbook: The band played a song, the audience clapped politely and Daly graciously thanked the crowd after each song.

The suspenders-clad front man, gripping his microphone, engaged the audience by darting and weaving his way around the stage, even climbing a raised wooden platform boasting a drum kit to wail away a solo.

“You’re beautiful, Syracuse, we love you,” Daly said, pausing for awkward comedic effect before deadpanning the announcement of the band’s next song. “And speaking of love, I don’t actually have anything to say. Here’s a song about heartbreak.”

Like with most openers, fans’ dancing was restricted to head nodding and leg tapping with hands firmly planted in back pockets. As Daly frenetically waggled a tambourine, a few fans started swaying with their arms raised back and forth, but the dancing was, for the most part, quarantined to a small group in the middle of the crowd.

“We’ve never toured with a band as incredible as Switchfoot,” Daly said to close the set.

“We’ll definitely be back.”

That changed the moment Switchfoot took the stage. Grungy guitar licks swept through the amplifiers and the group meandered on stage to “The Sound (John M. Perkins’ Blues).”

Foreman, dressed like a stereotypical rock ‘n’ roll bad boy with a leather jacket, guitar slung around his neck and messy mop of blond hair, leaned into the crowd, pointing and highfiving. His voice, lathered in reverb, echoed through the Westcott.

“Upstate New York, can I be one of you just

for a little while?” Foreman asked. “You’re starting to feel like family.”

Though the band’s shredding started primarily on the stage, Foreman wasn’t content to stay confined, wandering into the crowd to sing. He engaged the crowd by taking a quick breather between songs to read audience member signs with tongue-in-cheek color commentary.

Foreman also wandered from the band’s scripted set list, inviting the crowd to guess what deep cut Switchfoot might play. When

several audience members called out different songs, he laughed.

“Now’s the part where I tell you what we’re playing and you’re all disappointed,” he said.

One of his best tricks, however, was saving the band’s two biggest hits in his back pocket, keeping them until the back end of the set. But once Switchfoot busted out “Dare You to Move” and “Meant to Live,” the crowds — and stage lighting — went wild.

Said Foreman: “It’s feeling like a party, which I appreciate. I love a good party.” ervanrhe@syr.edu @TheRealVandyMan

every other monday in pulp

By Jeff Wucher STAFF WRITER

can’t tell you the last time I made a point of watching actual TV. It usually just happens. Sitting on the couch, hoping to kill some time, I’ll turn on the tube and see what’s there. I honestly don’t think I plan it anymore.

It used to be so important. The show starts at 9 p.m. Be there by 8:55 p.m. or you’ll miss the opening sequence. That’s no more, and any time I remember when I have such an appointment, it’s met by the thought that I can watch it later.

Aren’t there better things to do?

This is all, in essence, a roundabout way of saying that for most of us, TV doesn’t mean TV anymore. We don’t make appointments to sit down and watch. And why would we? A good three-fourths of the shows that premier every fall are absolutely abysmal. If something is worth watching, I’ll catch it online tomorrow.

And yet with “The Booth at the End,” a Hulu exclusive series, there are none of those hang-ups. It’s just a superbly rendered piece of entertainment, and so modest at that.

The premise is deceptively simple. A man

sits in a diner in the titular “booth” with a notebook, casually waiting for clients to come in.

Some have seen him before. Others are new and uncertainly prompt him with the code phrase, “I heard the pastrami sandwich is really good here.” He tells them to have a seat.

They’ve heard things about him, that he’s a miracle worker in a sense. People come to him with their wishes and desires, and he gets it for them. With a price, of course.

Each person has to execute a task, return to the booth and tell the man about it. For example, a girl comes in with the hopes of being prettier. The man tells her it’s possible, but she’ll have to rob a bank.

And that’s really it. Lots of people come in.

They talk and they leave. The show never leaves the diner as it hops from person to person. We hear of their exploits, exciting and thrilling bits of suspense, like the old woman charged with the task of building and setting off a bomb. But still, we only hear what they tell the man. For a half an hour, people just talk to each other and it’s captivating. It’s because the stakes are so high.

That doesn’t give enough credit to the actors, who essentially have to convey their whole

story to the man and the audience. Each character is given a depth to his respective desperation, which an image could easily convey. But here they have only the dialogue to work with.

In lesser hands it can be concerning. There are one or two performances that feel out of place, but that’s usually a circumstance of their wish.

The man who wants to date a gorgeous woman just does not stack up against the nun at a conflict of faith who asks to hear God speak to her.

Priorities, I guess.

The goal isn’t petty. The goal is their wish, their deepest desire. For his son’s cancer to go away. For her husband to recover from Alzheimer’s. For his girlfriend to be a centerfold model. For money.

The man doesn’t care. It is, of course, unclear what his motives are, but former “clients” have referred many booth-goers, so it seems that he knows what he’s doing. Are they making a deal with the devil? Or is he finding out how far they would go for what they want?

And it cannot be stressed enough. It all takes place in a diner, and it’s more exciting than most of the current TV landscape. Whereas ABC, NBC, CBS and FOX have budgets that

Running festival offers possibilities for all ages

By Aury H. Naranjo CONTRIBUTING WRITER

It was a perfect morning to run. A cool breeze filled the air and “Chariots of Fire” blasted from the speakers over the sound of cheers coming from friends and family.

“Go make some history,” said Dave Oja, founder and director of the Festival of Races in Syracuse, as he whistled the start of each race.

And when Hugh Campbell stepped over the finish line during the Men’s 5K, he did just that.

Campbell, 88, from Wilmington, Del., set a world record for the 85 to 89 age group with a record of 26:45.

“I got a bug in my bonnet and I decided I’d try to run,” said Campbell, who has only been running for a year-and-a-half. “I had problems getting started, but I got better and better, and here I am.”

Oja founded the race in 1993, the Sunday before Columbus Day weekend, and has put it together every year since as a way to help the community. Races included the Men’s 5K, Women’s 5K, the 3K Fun & Fitness Run and the Community Walk.

Participants varied from 4-year-old girls to 88-year-old grandfathers. 406 men and 388 women participated in the male and female 5K races.

Campbell had a few reasons why he thought he ran as well as he did.

“I’m in practice and in shape. I take no medicine. I’m pretty healthy for an old fart like me,” he said.

This year, Syracuse Festival of Races also hosted the 2012 USA Masters 5K Championship, attracting runners from all parts of the country, ranging from Boulder, Colo., to Oxford, Ala., and even some from Canada.

“Where all the people from the world could be running the fastest 5K road race, it’s happening in Syracuse, New York,” Oja said.

Nancy Auster, 86, from Canton, N.Y., is another of this year’s record breakers, as she

“Before the beginning of each game, we always contact DPS and explain to them that we are having the game during a certain week, and we usually get an OK with them with no problem at all,” said Dwaine Perdomo, a senior civil engineering major and another one of the administrators.

Humans vs. Zombies can’t be played on ESF’s campus, however. Chief of University Police at ESF Scott Becksted told the group that the game creates a safety issue, as students could get hurt while running around the school.

The group is adamant on making sure everyone feels and is safe, both the players and others on campus. Administrators make sure that everyone is following the rules and has the correct equipment, and they have not had any major safety issues to deal with so far.

Even though ESF does not allow the game to be played on its campus, ESF students can join the group and many are active members.

Overall, the group feels that it’s a great way to meet people from both campuses.

“Basically, Humans vs. Zombies is like a melting pot of people from the two schools that

finished her 20th 5K race in the Syracuse Festival of Races. In the last 30 years, she’s gone on to compete in more than 400 races and triathlons. Auster is considered an inspiration and a legend in the running community.

“Running makes me feel good,” Auster said, surrounded by her friends and family.

She originally chose to participate in the Syracuse Festival of Races because it was one of the few women’s only races.

On top of that, Marie-Louise Michelsohn broke the national record of fastest woman ever by a 70-year-old woman in a 5K race with a record of 23:40.

Other runners, however, didn’t feel as accomplished as these record-breakers.

J.J. Seymour, 67, a runner from New Jersey, felt disappointed with his time, saying he could’ve done better.

“It’s like anything else in life,” Seymour said. “Some days you’re on and some days you’re off. Today just wasn’t an on day for me.”

Seymour believes in that to be competitive in anything, not only in sports but in life, you have to set high standards for yourself. If you don’t, you’d just be pulling yourself through the motions.

His friend, Larry Price, 64, added, “We always say we want to run better. No matter what you run, you want to run better.”

To others, running is also about reuniting with old friends.

Murphee Hayes, 38, a local runner for 20-plus years, said she hadn’t been with her team in a while.

For most participants, running has become far more about the health and social benefits. It’s become a lifestyle. Most veterans admitted they’d continue running for as long as they could.

Said Hayes: “This event brought a lot of our friendships that we found running back together. It’s good to see everybody all in one place.” ahnaranj@syr.edu

are in the game,” Auyeung said.

The game ends with a final mission called Endgame, which determines whether the humans or zombies win.

There is currently a Facebook group called “Syracuse Humans vs. Zombies: the Game/Interest Group,” but administrators plan to revamp their presence on social media. They plan on starting a page that will allow them to choose which content gets posted on the wall, as important posts about mission times can get swallowed up by other posts by the group.

The group also has big ideas for the future.

“We are working on getting club status,” said Emily Ballard, another administrator and sophomore international relations and policy studies dual major.

By having club status, the group could be able to have things such as certified zombie headbands and be able to post on bulletin boards around campus. Also, it would allow them to do things that the founders had been discussing since the beginning, such as playing in the Carrier Dome, Perdomo said.

“And of course we will continue training in preparation for the zombie apocalypse,” Ballard said. cmdunder@syr.edu

Sloppy play, untimely fouls cost Syracuse in loss to Bearcats

By Nick Toney STAFF WRITER

In the 10th minute of the second half at Cincinnati’s Gettler Stadium, Bearcats midfielder Matt Bahner launched a shot past leaping Syracuse goalkeeper Alex Bono from the top of the box to push the Bearcats ahead.

That lone goal separated CINCINNATI 1 Syracuse (8-3, 1-1 Big East) SYRACUSE 0 and Cincinnati (5-4-2, 2-0) when the game ended 36 minutes later. The Orange

lost its first Big East match this season 1-0 on the road Saturday night. Bahner’s goal and a bevy of SU fouls kept the Orange a win away from earning its most wins in a regular season since 1999.

“The difference between winning and losing is so small when conference play starts up,” head coach Ian McIntyre said in a phone interview.

“And it turned out that the difference tonight was that great goal from their guy, No. 17 (Bahner).”

McIntyre said sloppy play and crucial fouls limited SU’s chances against Cincinnati. The

Orange held the advantage in shots and corner kicks on Saturday night, but it couldn’t rally past Bahner’s score for an equalizer.

The Orange was called for 14 fouls in the game.

One of those fouls — a yellow card on midfielder Louis Clark — forced SU to play portions of the game without one of its top scorers. A red card on forward Tony Asante put the team in a man-down scenario for the last 56 minutes of regulation.

Bahner, a senior midfielder, received the ball at the top of the box, squared up his shot and

fired. Despite a diving effort from Bono, it hit the back of the net for the game’s first and only score.

McIntyre said that there was nothing Bono could do on such a “well-struck” ball.

“You could tell that the team that struck first was going to have a better chance at winning tonight,” McIntyre said. “That team wasn’t us, but we’ll learn from this game, regroup and get ready for Rutgers at home on Wednesday night.” nctoney@syr.edu @nicktoneytweets

shooters from getting good, close looks at the goal.

“You’ve got to be smart,” Marasco said. “You don’t want to take a stupid shot and they can get a good break out. It was definitely different, I think it’s going to be a pretty cool thing.”

The NCAA did not institute a visible shot clock. The official closest to the ball will keep track of the time and then begin a hand count with 10 seconds remaining. The players have to watch the official and then listen for when he calls out the 10-second mark, which Marasco said will be difficult considering how loud games can get.

Another rule also calls for officials to whistle for a restart as soon as an opposing player is within five yards of the player who was awarded the ball. The defender then has to give the player with the ball a distance of five yards to find an open teammate or go to the cage. Previously, the defender could step right in front of the opposing player and create a one-on-one on the sideline that lengthened the time of restart.

“I don’t think there’s going to be too many stalls with the no horns and the fast whistles, I think that’s going to help a lot,” Marasco said. “I think the stall’s going to kind of get taken out.”

Teams have to keep a minimum of six and a maximum of 10 balls at each end line and sideline so players don’t have to locate new ones.

Former Syracuse goaltender John Galloway, who is now an assistant coach at Providence, said the rules concerning substitutions and restarts will quicken the game’s pace even more than the shot clock.

The substitution box was expanded from 10 to 20 yards, which could give players an advantage if they can get a 20-yard jump on an opposing player going up the field.

stacie fanelli | staff photographer JOHN DESKO and Syracuse will adjust to new rules this season, including a shot clock and an expanded substitution box.

And because horns will no longer signal a substitution, all substitutions will be done on the f ly.

“I think a lot of teams are going to do it differently and there’s going to be a lot of different gimmicks, ideas to come up with,” Galloway said. “If you have guys that can play up and down, offense and defense, you don’t really have to mess around too much with the team.”

Desko said the team’s scrimmage with the new rules on Friday went well, but there’s still a lot for everyone to learn. With the quicker pace, decisions will have to be made faster.

Said Desko: “It’s definitely a faster pace, but there’s more confusion, too.” cjiseman@syr.edu @chris_iseman

team. In 1967, she became the first woman to run the Boston Marathon.

At SU, the idea of a woman doing anything competitively seemed ludicrous.

Smith started working at Syracuse in 1968 as a graduate assistant while earning a master’s degree in physical education. She was also in charge of the women’s club basketball team, a group of eight or nine students who met once a week.

Over the course of four years, the group became anxious for more competition. They started meeting three to four times a week. The players bought T-shirts and added numbers with tape.

In 1971, Doris Soladay, who was an adviser to SU’s Women’s Athletic Association, joined a group of female physical education teachers who got together to form the Association for Intercollegiate Athletics for Women. It was essentially the women’s version of the NCAA. The AIAW organized games, and Smith and the Orangewomen began playing other local schools, including Oswego, Cazenovia and Buffalo.

The passing of Title IX on June 23, 1972, had little effect at first. Five women’s teams were established, including basketball, volleyball, tennis, fencing and field hockey. But the financial support for those teams was limited. Soladay became the athletic director for women’s sports, and even three years later, she still had a budget of only $50,000.

Mary DiFuria, a 1972 volleyball team member, said the players had to buy their own

WHAT IS TITLE IX? Title IX is the federal law that prohibits sex discrimination in educational institutions. The law, part of the Educational Amendments Act of 1972, says that no one can be excluded from participation in any education program or activity receiving federal financial assistance. It was amended in 1987 to include all the operations of an educational institution, governmental entity or private employer that receives federal funds. It includes programs such as admissions, financial aid, academic advising, housing and athletics, among others. To comply with Title IX under NCAA rules, schools must keep an even balance of athletic scholarships for men and women.

practice clothes.

“We all went down to ‘M street’ and bought the same gray tops and had numbers put on them,” DiFuria said. “We bought our own shorts and everything.”

Smith’s basketball players had to share uniforms with the volleyball team, and the players weren’t given sneakers until 1976. While Soladay supported women’s athletics at SU, Smith said she didn’t give anything easily.

“My relationship with her was good, it’s just that she believed women didn’t deserve anything until they earned it,” Smith said. “And you don’t rock the boat.”

Respect for women’s teams was lacking as much as resources were.

Eileen Donnellan DiBartolomeo came to Syracuse to play field hockey in 1978. At the time, the team practiced in front of the Women’s Building on an unkempt field. Trying to play field hockey on the overgrown grass was almost impossible. The team’s head coach, Kathleen Parker, fought the athletics department and finally earned the chance to practice on the grass fields by J.S. Coyne Stadium.

The football team used the adjacent field. When football practice was over, the players would routinely walk through the field that DiBartolomeo and her teammates were using, not around it.

“We were definitely not taken as seriously as I would’ve liked. It got better as it went along,” DiBartolomeo said. “When I first got there, we were playing club teams and I was like, ‘Oh my goodness.’ But by my senior year, Kathleen got the team put together.”

One of the players Parker recruited was Eileen Lewis Habelow, a goaltender from Delaware who came to SU in 1981. That season was Syracuse’s last at the Division-II level before it moved up to Division I. The team also played for the Division-II national championship that year, losing to Lock Haven 2-0.

That game was critical for the advancement of the program, Habelow said. It proved the team should be taken seriously and deserved the resources it needed to compete at a high level.

Even Jim Boeheim paid attention.

Habelow was a senior in 1985, and as a social work major, she was working with a group of children in Syracuse. Looking to bring the group to a men’s basketball game, Habelow went to Boeheim’s office expecting to “grovel” for tickets.

When Habelow arrived at Boeheim’s office, he knew who she was, her position and her record.

Boeheim said he’d be glad to get her the tickets.

It was a sign of changing times. Women’s teams were finally getting respect.

“When we went to D-I, a lot of the Title IX entitlements kicked in,” Habelow said. “So when we went D-I was when we started getting some cool stuff.”

Still, not everything was equal.

Barbara Jacobs took over the women’s basketball team from Smith in 1978. She had a recruiting budget incomparable to competing schools, and when she brought a recruit in, she had to sell the program on its family-like qualities. Jacobs had to get creative so the recruit did not focus on the team sharing a locker room with the volleyball players.

Jacobs said the women’s basketball team practiced in Manley Field House at the same time as the track and field team. At one particular practice, the hammer thrower lost control of the hammer and it smashed the trainer’s cart just inches from where the trainer was sitting.

Jacobs went to the athletics department and said it was unacceptable. The team needed its own gym.

The administration refused and told her to “work around it.”

“For me it was a challenge,” Jacobs said. “I wanted to be able to provide for my players what they deserved and I just kept working at it.”

When the team joined the Big East in 1983,

And when the team finally got its own locker room, which wasn’t until about 1989, Jacobs said she had to paint her players’ names above their locker in orange and blue paint.

“It was difficult, but at the time, I didn’t know it was difficult,” Jacobs said. “At the time, I was just doing what everybody was doing and just working hard to try and aspire to what the men had and trying to get some of that stuff.”

For the early women’s teams at Syracuse, that was a constant struggle. The female athletes of the early days of Title IX dealt with the challenges while their coaches fought for proper treatment and respect. Both came slowly.

At Syracuse, Smith said, little was given to women’s teams without a fight.

“You had to press for it,” Smith said. “But you don’t win friends by pressing for that kind of stuff when they don’t want to give it you.” cjiseman@syr.edu @chris_iseman

NCAA adds 30-second shot clock

Early women’s teams struggled in fight for equality

Syracuse’s opponents can no longer slow the Orange down. They now have no choice but to keep up with the team’s fast-paced style.

The NCAA approved several new rules aimed at speeding up the game.

Perhaps the most anticipated change was the institution of a 30-second shot clock after a stall is called. Other changes included the expansion of the substitution box to 20 yards, the end of horns signaling substitutions and a set number of balls along the end line and sideline to quicken the restart time after a ball goes out of bounds.

Syracuse head coach John Desko said a shot clock was almost added when he was on the rules committee in the early 2000s, but it received too much push back from lacrosse officials. Nearly 10 years later, a shot clock is finally part of college lacrosse.

“I think it’s definitely a step in the right direction,” Desko said. “It leaves a lot on the officials still, because they’re the ones who are going to have to interpret stalling and making the call.”

As soon as the official makes a stall call, teams will have 30 seconds to take a shot.

Teams like Providence and Maryland made habits out of winning faceoffs, then holding onto the ball for long periods of time to limit the Orange’s possessions. Aside from frustrating Syracuse’s shooters, the stalling also ground the game’s pace to a halt.

Syracuse scrimmaged Friday in the Carrier Dome with officials so the team and referees could learn the new rules. JoJo Marasco said the 30 seconds flew by, leaving time for maybe one or two passes and a dodge before the shot has to go off.

Teams are also going to try and press out on the offense to force shots from about 15 yards out. Defenses are going to do anything possible to keep

team won two games over the weekend by a combined score of 8-0, capping it off with a 5-0 win over Yale on Sunday. The Orange defeated No. 25 Louisville on Saturday in the team’s first game as the No. 1 team in the country.

O

nly now does the lunacy of the time come into clearer focus.

Forty years ago, Muriel Smith didn’t consider driving the women’s basketball team to road games in a 12-passenger van to be abnormal. As the head coach, it was part of her job.

She didn’t have an assistant coach on her staff. That would’ve been considered a luxury.

That was all Smith knew.

The legislation of Title IX in 1972

opened the door for women to play collegiate athletics. The progression was slow and the path to equality was rough. The first female athletes and coaches at Syracuse University fought a mindset from the top that they had to prove they deserved equality.

Asking for anything from uniforms to equipment was met with resistance from SU’s athletic administration.

“Of course when they passed Title

IX, it was not a very happy atmosphere,” Smith said. “The kids were delighted, but I can’t say everybody was overjoyed about giving us anything.”

Before Title IX, opportunities for female athletes at Syracuse were limited. Kathrine Switzer transferred to SU from Lynchburg College in 1966 and wanted to start running competitively.

“When I got to Syracuse, I was

really quite amazed that there were no women’s teams,” Switzer said. “It was really all intramurals, but the men had really high-powered teams.”

Switzer went to the men’s track coach at the time, Bob Grieve, and asked to train with the team. Grieve approved. But as soon as Switzer left the room, she was later told, Grieve turned to his two assistants and said, “Well, I think I got rid of her.”

Switzer showed up for practice the next day and ran with the men’s
