tephen Kuusisto takes pride in being part of a global community eager to work for disability rights. He is also proud to be alive in a time when progress is being made for those with disabilities — a group in which he’s included. Kuusisto, director of Syracuse University’s Renée Crown University Honors Program, has been blind since birth. But that did not stop him from writing books of poetry, memoirs and editorials for The New York Times and The Washington Post. SU hired Kuusisto in April from the University of Iowa. Though he said he was sad to leave the “vibrant and rich” writing community there, he was eager to work with SU’s disability studies institution. Kuusisto said the Center on Human Policy, Law and Disabilities Studies is one of the best in the nation. “It’s a wonderful, progressive community here for disability culture and rights, and that attracted me,” he said. Kuusisto was also hired as a University Professor in disability studies. He tries to spend

Kuusisto said he will teach an honors-level poetry writing workshop in the spring and two disability studies classes next fall — one regarding disability, literature and film, and the other focusing on disability and memoir. Kuusisto has already received praise from co-workers at SU during his short time here. “Steve has a generous nature, a keen intelligence, and tremendous drive,” said Eric Holzwarth, deputy director of the honors program, in an email. “He’s also very funny. Honors is enjoying the energy and leadership he is bringing to the program.” Peter Blanck, a professor in the SU College of Law and chairman of the Burton Blatt

Institute, said he thinks highly of Kuusisto as a leader in the disability community. Kuusisto is not yet involved with BBI, a disability rights organization, but Blanck said they have been in touch. “He adds just a depth and a richness to our university community,” Blanck said. “And it’s an exciting opportunity for many of us at the university to learn with him.” The progress for disability rights being made right now is exciting, Kuusisto said. The 1991 Americans with Disabilities Act prohibits discrimination against those with disabilities in public accommodations and the workforce — so, unlike when Kuusisto was younger, people with disabilities no longer have to fight to get in the door. “When I was younger, the question was SEE KUUSISTO PAGE 8

Former Apple CEO Jobs dies at 56 after years-long battle with cancer By Jon Harris and Debbie Truong ASST. NEWS EDITORS

Steve Jobs, the co-founder of Apple and mastermind behind innovations including the iPhone and iPad, died Wednesday in Palo Alto, Calif., at the age of 56. His death was announced by Apple, which was started by Jobs and his high school friend Stephen Wozniak in 1976 in a garage. Jobs had long struggled with can-

cer, although he remained the face of Apple as he underwent treatment, continuing to introduce new products. He first underwent surgery for pancreatic cancer in 2004, received a liver transplant in 2009 and took three leaves of absence as Apple’s CEO before resigning in August. Apple officials and faculty from the School of Information Studies at Syracuse University expressed feelings of sadness Wednesday as the news of Jobs’ death settled in.

source: apple.com “We are deeply saddened to announce that Steve Jobs passed away today,” Apple’s Board of Directors said in a statement. “Steve’s bril-

liance, passion and energy were the source of countless innovations that enrich and improve all of our lives. The world is immeasurably better because of Steve.” Jason Dedrick, associate professor of information studies, was finishing up a class in Hinds Hall when he learned of Jobs’ death. Dedrick has studied Apple Inc. since the early 1990s when Jobs was “in exile” from the corporation. SEE JOBS PAGE 6

E.S. Bird Library will break ground Friday on the $5 million, 1.2 million volume expansion on Jamesville Avenue adjacent to the Hawkins Building on South Campus. The addition of the high-density storage space will provide more room for infrequently used books, as the library collection contains some 3.1 million volumes. The project is expected to be complete next August, said Pamela McLaughlin, director of communications and external relations at Syracuse University Library. The library staff will move the materials into the new facility once it is completed. The new space will “be able to keep valuable research materials at hand,” McLaughlin said. The shelves at Bird are filled, she said, and because the ways in which people use the library are changing, SU needs to make the space that is available more flexible. Although this building will not be used as a library, it will contain a small conference room for students and faculty to use upon request. Eric Spina, vice chancellor and provost of the university, is one member of the administration that has been essential to making the library expansion possible. “This is a critical project for the University Library,” he said. The expansion will “create ideal environmental conditions for the long-term storage of the extensive and very valuable collections,” and it will also “create additional space in other, more accessible facilities for the continued growth of our library collections,” Spina said. The new collections will also be available for faculty within 24 hours upon request. The administration believes the expansion will give the faculty more support in their research efforts SEE LIBRARY PAGE 8

Students mark Quad in support

Race in pop culture to be discussed By Kaitlyn Richards CONTRIBUTING WRITER

By Amy Podeszek CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Mel Passler, a junior music education major, was very open about her sexuality, recalling how she came out to her mom in the car when she was 16 years old. “She froze for about five minutes, then she cried for about another five minutes, then she got over it,” Passler joked about her mom’s reaction. “Now she goes to Pride with me every year.” Passler attended the Chalk the Quad event Wednesday night in front of Hendricks Chapel, which was cosponsored by the LGBT Resource Center and Pride Union. The event was created for students to share their coming out and support stories while writing inspirational messages on the Quad, said Nick Haas, president of Pride Union. Haas, a senior environmental resources engineering major, has been working in Pride Union for about three years. He said his favorite part of the event is the support and social activism it offers. “It is a way of peacefully protesting, and it builds a sense of community,” Haas said. “It’s fun, but it also accomplishes something.” Haas said he hopes the event proves to be thought provoking to other students as they walk through the Quad. “Even if students read just one message, it will get them to stop and think,” he said. Students who attended the event

Eric Lott is a rock star to David Yaffe, an assistant professor of English at Syracuse University. Lott, a professor at the University of Virginia will give a lecture Friday at 3 p.m. in Room 500 of the Hall of Languages, according to an SU News Release. Lott is the chosen Eric Lott will discuss race and speaker for the American culture. Stephen Crane Where: Room Annual Lecture. 500, Hall of LanLott wrote guages “Love and When: Friday, 3 Theft: Blackface p.m. Minstrelsy and How much: the American Free Working Class,” a novel dealing with racism in the entertainment industry during the Jim Crow era. Yaffe said it was “a brave book to write because it could have offended a lot of people.” Bob Dylan reportedly borrowed the words “Love and Theft” for his album title from Lott’s book, Yaffe said. Lott then titled one of his books “Tangled Up in Blue,” a song by Dylan. The lecture series focuses on various areas of American literature, with lectures given by literary scholars of high stature. This is meant to honor Stephen Crane, one of SU’s most noteworthy alumni. Crane had an enormous effect on the literary world and is best known for his 1891 Civil War novel, “The Red Badge of Courage,” according to the release. SEE LOTT PAGE 6

SENIOR BROADCAST JOURNALISM, POLITICAL SCIENCE AND WOMEN AND GENDER STUDIES MAJOR

Passler said she hopes the event will help fulfill her goal to get students to “say one less hateful thing throughout the day.”

Jamie Bellemare, a senior broadcast journalism, political science and women and gender studies major, said she believes it is a good, central event to stand by the LGBT community. “We are here in support of ourselves and our friends,” Bellemare said as she drew a rainbow at the intersection of Huntington Beard Crouse Hall and Hinds Hall. “We want to raise awareness for those who don’t feel comfortable coming out and let them know we support them,” said Bellemare. Jesse Paez, a marriage and family counseling graduate student, went for similar reasons. He said he wants people to know that it’s OK to come out because others will support them. Paez also said he wants people to become more aware. Across the Quad, in hopes of helping others accept themselves for who they are, Paez wrote: “Love urself, be

true to urself, give thanks to urself, take pride in urself, quiet no longer urself.” alpodesz@syr.edu

Report finds 1 in 3 college students believe Internet to be as important as air, water By Maddy Berner STAFF WRITER

In a tech-savvy world, the Internet and social media are important tools in everyday life, so important that people may become very reliant on them. One of three college students consider the Internet to be as important as human resources such as air, water, food and shelter, according to the second annual Cisco Connected World Technology Report released Sept. 21. Two of five respondents said the Internet was more important to them than dating, going out or listening to music, according to the report. Cisco has become the worldwide leader in networking by transform-

ing how people connect, communicate and collaborate, according to the company’s website. These statistics, among others, have helped provide insight into the mind and behavior of the world’s next generation of workers and how they will influence business communications. InsightExpress, a third-party market research firm, conducted the study. It was based on a survey of 2,800 college students and professionals 30 years old and younger in 14 countries, according to the report. Anthony Rotolo, an assistant professor of practice in Syracuse University’s School of Information Studies, specializes in social media such as Twitter and uses it in his classes.

“Today’s college students have grown up never knowing a world where the Internet was not available to access and share information,” Rotolo said in an email. Media-savvy students have come to expect that content can be delivered to them through networks like Twitter and Facebook, he said. “With the Internet so integrated in our lives,” Rotolo said, “it is no surprise that many students believe this is an important resource.” AJ Senaydin, a junior photo illustration and information technology major, said he thinks the Internet is fundamentally important, but that society has become dependent on it. “We would pretty much crash if

we didn’t have it anymore,” Senaydin said. “I can’t picture college life without the Internet.” Senaydin also said although he thought the Internet helped with meeting people, it couldn’t take the place of real human interaction. Jill Gonyea, a sophomore health and exercise science major, said she thinks social media is not as necessary as natural resources, but is something she checks often. She said she uses the Internet to access a large array of databases and is fundamental for research purposes. Gonyea said she thought the dating statistic, which said two of five college students think the Internet is

more important than socializing, is pathetic. “I don’t understand why anyone would rather stay and sit on the Internet than go out and interact with actual people,” she said. “If we stay in, it’s not because of social media.” Social media has also become more prevalent in the classroom. The Cisco study said while doing homework and projects, more than four out of five college students were interrupted by social media updates at least once in a given hour. Said Gonyea: “With cellphones, the good side is that it’s easy to get a hold of you, but the bad side is that it’s easy to get a hold of you.” mjberner@syr.edu

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Students should learn regulations for recycling in Onondaga County If you walked between the Schine Student Center and the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications last week, you may have noticed the blue recycling bins, empty plastic bottles, cereal boxes and a random cottage cheese container lining the grass area. The bottles and other items are part of a recycling display set up by the Syracuse University Sustainability Division in an effort to bring more awareness to the community about recycling on campus. The ultimate goal is to make sure if a product is recyclable it gets recycled instead of thrown in the trash. The display taught me a couple of quick facts that will come in handy next time I — or preferably my roommate — have to sort the recycling. For example, I learned that aluminum foil, aseptic containers (fancy words for soy milk carton) and only plastics No. 1 and No. 2 bottleneck containers, like laundry detergent, and No. 5 plastics can be recycled. Bottle caps, produce containers and paper and cardboard items with food or grease stains cannot be recycled. Perhaps some of the biggest misconceptions most students have about recyclable materials on campus are what to do with the infamous pizza boxes and with the daily plastic iced coffee or tea containers. I have always flattened

pizza boxes and reluctantly put them out for recycling; however, I now know that most of those boxes broke the no- grease-stains rule and were not recyclable. A simple solution for this problem is to cut off the top half of the pizza box, which usually isn’t stained, and to recycle that part of the box. The recycling of plastic Starbucks and Dunkin’ Donut cups, on the other hand, can be a bit more trivial. First of all, you need to check if the plastic cup has a recycling symbol with the No. 5 on it. If it does, it should be emptied out and rinsed before placing in the recycling bin. The tall plastic cups at Starbucks, for example, are recyclable because they are a No. 5, but the small plastic cups are not because they are a No. 1 and do not fall under the bottleneck category. So much to learn, but it’s easy once you understand. This display and other recycling efforts and initiatives on campus are a great way to help Syracuse University undergraduate students — 11,800 of them — who come from all 50 states and more than 100 countries, along with the 5,000 graduate students, understand the recycling law in Onondaga County.

Donation of SSO’s sheet music to benefit city, Setnor school The Syracuse Symphony Orchestra filed chapter seven bankruptcy during its 50th anniversary last spring. The orchestra was millions of dollars in debt and its disbandment creates a massive artistic void in Syracuse. But some hope has risen in the aftermath. M&T Bank, which served the SSO and now controls its assets, is making a concerted effort to keep the symphony’s artistic materials in the Syracuse community. The Steinway piano went to the Cultural Resources Council of Syracuse and Onondaga County. Many instruments went to the Syracuse Youth Orchestra. And, most importantly, the entire sheet music collection will have a new home at Syracuse University’s Setnor School of Music. The School of Information Studies will also provide an essential service in the preservation of this collection. The iSchool, in collaboration with the College of Visual and Performing Arts, will digitize the archive to

EDITORIAL by the daily orange editorial board ensure its longevity. The orchestra collected and bought the rights to hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of sheet music, and for 50 years, the SSO’s directors and musicians had annotated these pages. As an entity, the collection of sheet music holds the greatest worth both financially and practically. Many in the community feared the music would be split up in the liquidation process, making the recreation of an orchestra more difficult in the future. Donating the music to Setnor keeps the haunting loss of the SSO alive. The annotations provide ghostlike reminders of a once-thriving classical music scene in the city and perhaps the hope that one may rise again. No less important, the music will provide a wonderful resource for SU students and professors.

GOP candidate Ron Paul shines through minimal media attention

ith a fairly basic, Jon Stewart-informed knowledge of politics, I tend to laugh (as compared to cry or scream) at the circus the Republican Party has created out of the political playing field. There’s Mitt Romney, whose Ivy League swagger and surprisingly attractive ombré hairstyle normally distracts me from anything he says. Same goes for Jon Huntsman — and Rick Perry. Especially with Rick Perry, his Texas twang really gets me going. But amid all the statuesque good looks, the mainstream media has largely ignored the only candidate:

Standing for limited government and personal liberties, Paul is the self-proclaimed “champion of the Constitution.” As the long, lost father of Ron Swanson from “Parks and Recreation,” he’s as hilarious and lovable as he is insane.

“Jobs has been at the heart of what they’ve done up to this point,” Dedrick said, adding later that Jobs helped shape the industry and it would be interesting to see if the company would be able to sustain that. Jobs was both a tough negotiator and risk taker, which led, in part, to the company’s success, Dedrick said. “Sometimes he was right, sometimes he was wrong. But when he was right, they turned out to be big hits and big successes,” he said. Since Jobs’ resignation in August, Apple has been under the operation of Timothy Cook, who Dedrick described as running the company in

an efficient and cost-cutting manner. Dedrick said he doesn’t believe Cook is as much of a visionary as Jobs was, but believes the company still has a considerable amount of talent. Anthony Rotolo, assistant professor of practice and social media strategist in the iSchool, tweeted about Jobs’ death shortly after the news broke. Rotolo said he was shocked that Jobs’ death came so soon after he stepped down as Apple CEO. Rotolo said that Jobs inspired his work at the iSchool, as he tries to get people to pursue technology as a career. “He was design-focused, which allowed people who do not consider themselves to be techies to really appreciate technology and what it could do for their lives,” he said. “His presentations of that technology connected with people in ways that the rest of the tech industry really

couldn’t pull off.” Although Jobs and his creativeness are gone, Rotolo said he expects Apple to perform fine in the future, as he believes Apple has been preparing for this for quite some time. Both Rotolo and Elizabeth Liddy, dean of the iSchool, put Jobs atop their list of most influential innovators. “I think the fact that he brought together being a technologist and a visionary and a business person, that’s pretty unique,” Liddy said. She added: “From my field, the information technology field and the communicative side of it, you can’t imagine anyone who’s had more impact on what we all accept as technology at our fingertips.”

to the most exalted,” Lott said in email. Lott has lectured on the politics of the United States’ cultural history, and his writing has been featured in periodicals. Lott is a senior invited fellow at Cornell University. “I think the talk will interest anyone who cares about pop life, pop music, the knotty problems of race and culture and the pop culture history of Los Angeles,” Lott said. “I’ll try to suggest why artists from Prince to Janet Jack-

son to Herbie Hancock have been so fascinated by Joni Mitchell.” But Mitchell is not the only person who inspires people. Yaffe said Lott inspired him while he wrote his very first novel, and he believes that Friday’s lecture could hold the same effect. Said Yaffe: “Wherever people are traveling in the world of ideas, going to this is a way of being inspired.”

Harper College launches free noncredit course about humor By Diana Pearl

STAFF WRITER

arper College, a community college in Palatine, Ill., had a goal: get 300 likes on its Facebook page. As encouragement for its fans, it promised a free course if it reached the goal. This campaign led to the creation of “From Humor to Health: Comedy and Healthy Living,” a noncredit course. Scott Cashman, continuing education manager for personal and culture enrichment at Harper, came up with the idea for the course. Cashman said the course had to have broad appeal and use the instructional resources the college already had at its disposal. Because the course is not for credit, it was easier and less time-consuming to put into action than a for-credit course, he said. The class is taught by Dobie Maxwell, a nationally recognized stand-up comic, and Cheryl O’Donoghue, who teaches a class at Harper about the health benefits of laughter. “We put two strong instructors together in a way that they can compliment each other,” Cashman said. “They’ve really taken it to heart and play off each other’s material. It’s really become one class taught by two people.” The class is divided into three parts, Cashman said. The class meets for two sessions. The first session is 90 minutes and the second one is an hour. The first part is a performance by four comedians, including Maxwell. This first workshop is primarily about entertainment, Cashman said. “We want them to start thinking about what humor is, what makes people laugh,” Cashman said. The second part of the course directly follows the performance. It is a comedy workshop with Maxwell in which participants explore their personal sense of humor. For the third part, O’Donoghue joins the class and discusses the health benefits of humor and laughter. “(She) gets people to practice laughing skills and really experience the health benefits,” Cashman said. “It sounds funny, but you can see the changes while it’s happening.” Improved creativity, memory, problem-

solving skills, along with reduced stress, depression and pain are all qualities associated with humor, according to an article published in the Chicago Sun-Times on Sept. 10. For Maxwell, humor is not something that can be taught, only enhanced, he said. “The first thing I tell people is that I can’t make anyone funny,” Maxwell said. “What I do is take people with a sense of humor and point them in a direction.” Outside of Harper College, Maxwell teaches comedy professionally at Zanies Comedy Club in Chicago. Maxwell said teaching this class differs from other comedy classes he has taught because of the relaxed feel.

illustration by molly snee | staff illustrator “I feel like a little league coach,” Maxwell said. “When that light goes on in someone’s eyes when they write or tell a joke, that sense of joy and accomplishment, it is like watching a kid hit a home run at a little league game.” Harper has received great feedback for the course, Cashman said. About 40 students registered, which is maximum capacity. For the comedy performance in the first workshop, people who were not registered for the class were also allowed to attend. Due to the overwhelming interest in the

class, Harper will most likely offer it again in the future, Cashman said. The class will no longer be offered for free, and the scheduling will be infrequent, Cashman said. Harper plans on offering the class about once a year. Cashman said he believes humor is an important part of life. “(Humor) has a lot to do with stress management and interpersonal relationships,” Cashman said. “We all just want to get to the point where we can laugh with each other.” dspearl@syr.edu

why? Why should disabled people even be on the street?” he said. “But now it’s: ‘How do we make sure that the bathrooms in the library are really up to code?’” In the pre-ADA generation, many children with disabilities fought their way forward relying on stamina, luck and other talents, Kuusisto said. He tried to do things other kids did, like riding a bike and playing football. Now, the idea that people with disabilities are remarkably different is old-fashioned, and it is just another dynamic, like hair color or height, he said. Though there is progress for those with disabilities, there is room for improvement even at SU, Kuusisto said. Some websites are inaccessible to the blind and need to be brought up to ADA compliance, and there is more faculty education on disability necessary. The question is no longer why facilities can be improved, but how it can be done, he said. Each morning, Kuusisto wakes early and writes a post on his blog, Planet of the Blind. He said it is a place for him to share what’s on his

throughout the school year. “This is a research library,” McLaughlin said. A bigger and more accessible facility will only enhance the research that is performed at the library, she said. This new facility will also be used to house

mind — ranging from personal anecdotes, the experiences of others with disabilities or something he found intriguing from the Internet or news. Though sometimes blogging every day gets exhausting, Kuusisto said he thinks it’s important to keep doing it, as many people read it from around the world. This is not the first time his work has been in the public spotlight. His 1998 memoir, also titled “Planet of the Blind,” received nods from “The Oprah Winfrey Show” and other media outlets, something he said he wasn’t prepared for. Though he was grateful for the attention his writing received, he felt it was misrepresented by some big TV shows. “One of the things I learned about being on TV is that TV has its own narrative. It frames its own narrative in order to sell its story,” Kuusisto said. “I had to learn a lot about ‘public relations 101.’ For instance, on Oprah, to be honest, many of her questions weren’t particularly thoughtful about disability.” Kuusisto said Oprah wanted to focus on what he could see — for example, ‘How many fingers am I holding up?’ — and he found that to be unhelpful, so he instead changed the topic and

spoke to the audience about things he considered more important, like organizations to help parents of visually impaired children. “I didn’t answer Oprah’s questions. And I don’t think she liked it,” Kuusisto said. “But I tried to raise the level of conversation.” Kuusisto was also interviewed on “Dateline NBC,” in which he noticed his story was propelled into a “sensational media” story that claimed while “pretending to be sighted, he was living a lie.” “The book is about overcoming a sense of alienation, of disability. But it doesn’t say I was living a lie. Nowhere in the book does it say this,” Kuusisto said. “The media can run your story in its own direction. Every author wants to say this, but I think it’s true in this case. The book is really much more complicated and thoughtful than that.” Kuusisto is working on two books, one being a book of poetry, the other a memoir about the changing nature of blindness. At this time there are more cures for blindness, something that wasn’t thought to be possible, he said. Two years ago, Kuusisto had surgery that restored him from total blindness to legal blindness. He can now see things up close.

“Once I could see again, all of the colors in the world were wrong. Barack Obama was green on my TV,” he said. “That was because my brain had taken the visual centers and used them for hearing. It took many weeks, but my brain fixed things.” Kuusisto’s work doesn’t stop at being a professor and honors program director. He and his wife, Connie, started Kaleidoscope Connections LLC, a company for which they consult businesses to provide a better understanding about disability. They have worked with Beaches and Sandals resorts to help them serve customers with disabilities. Kuusisto said he and his wife generally don’t get paid for the consulting, but instead receive a vacation from the resort. One of his goals as director of the honors program is to help it grow and become intimately connected with the mission of the university. He said he is pleased to have so many students and colleagues in a community that leads the nation. “I think SU’s efforts in socially relevant education are a big deal,” he said. “It’s a great time to be here.”

special collections that are not seen on a daily basis at Bird, said Suzanne Thorin, dean of libraries and university librarian. The stacks of books that were not on display will now have a place for storage and overcrowding will no longer be an issue. “We will have a environmentally sound place to house scholarly materials that are not used on a daily basis,” she said. The groundbreaking will be a candid cer-

emony with each speaker digging the first chunk out of the foundation, McLaughlin said. Along with Spina, speakers will include David Nutting, chairman and CEO of VIP Structures Inc.; Judith Mower, a member of the SU Board of Trustees; James Watts, the humanities council chair and professor of religion; and Melissa Welshans, president of the SU Graduate Student Organization. All of the speakers who have been on board

with the expansion of this library will take part in the groundbreaking ceremony. The expansion of Bird is funded by the university and donor contributions, Thorin said. The facility will be a great addition to South Campus and will help the faculty receive books and other materials more efficiently, she said. Said Thorin: “The library is grateful for the university’s support.”

Crowd clamors in street for casting call By Allie Caren

Contributing Writer

Being a cast member on MTV’s “The Real World” has been on junior psychology and forensic science major Janine Peakes’ bucket list for quite a while. When asked why she would be a good fit for the show, the answer was obvious for Peakes. “I’m the dopest person alive,” she said. “I’d do anything for a good story.” Peakes might get her chance to be a part of the next “true story of seven strangers picked to live in a house and have their lives taped to find out what happens when people

stop being polite and start being real.” Syracuse is one of 18 casting locations for the 27th season of MTV’s “The Real World,” currently in its 26th season. The show hosted a one-day casting event Wednesday at Lucy’s Retired Surfers Bar. Associate casting director Heather Allen oversaw the casting. Unlike other staged TV shows, Allen said the casting directors aren’t looking to fill specific roles. “We’re just looking for unique individuals who are open to sharing their story with us,” Allen said. “We never come in with any preconceived

notions. We just know what it is when we see it.” Bunim/Murray Productions came up with the central idea for the show almost two decades ago, with the first season airing in 1992. It has been cast, produced and filmed by the company ever since. The production company is located in Los Angeles and produces various other shows, such as “Keeping Up with the Kardashians” and “Project Runway.” Syracuse has history for those behind the scenes of the show. Jonathan Murray, co-founder of Bunim/ Murray Productions and co-creator

of “The Real World,” attended Fayetteville-Manlius High School. Mark Raudonis, vice president of the show’s postproduction, is a graduate of the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications at Syracuse University. “The Real World” scouts for seven strangers across the country and brings them together to live in a “dream house” for a few months. They are constantly filmed, analyzed and judged as viewers watch from their living room couches to see what drama is brewing. Though cast members often dig see real world page 11

Maple treats sweeten selection in bookstore By Shannon Hazlitt Contributing Writer

Dan Beasley looked like he had been playing in a cumulus cloud as he passed out maple sugar cotton candy to students on the Quad. Beasley, one of the owners of family-run SweeTrees Maple Syrup Farm, had fluffs of feathery maple cotton candy clinging to his green crewneck sweater. Beasley passed out his products during the Apple Festival, which took place Sept. 16. The treat — and many of SweeTrees’ other maple sugar products, including maple cream, lollipops, maple glazed nuts

and pure maple syrup — will be available for the first time at the Syracuse University Bookstore starting Thursday. From 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., Beasley will have a stand by Vera Bradley for students to try his products. Beasley and his wife, Ruth, started producing maple syrup in 2004 from just one tree, three taps and a turkey fryer. This was the modest beginning of their family-owned and operated business called SweeTrees Maple Products in Berkshire, N.Y. They are aspiring to soon reach 1,000 taps and have upgraded to using a wood-fired evaporator. Beasley still works part

of diligence and hard work. “Maple is a funny thing,” Beasley said. “Most of the people who buy it appreciate the work that goes into making it.” The Beasleys usually spend their weekends throughout the year at “Sapland,” the affectionate nickname for their maple tree farm. From February through March, they collect the maple tree sap and boil it into syrup. All year round they must cut, chop and stack wood. This simplistic system allows all of the Beasleys’ maple sugar products to be considsee maple page 11

e’ve all heard of love at first sight, but what about love at first … whiff? Scent can play a huge role in how attracted we are to someone. We’ve all walked by someone, smelled a fragrant cologne or perfume and immediately taken a second glance. Or what about when you’re flirting with that guy at the bar and he smells amazing? He just got more attractive. I even have a friend who has perfume specially made for her. She says that every time she wears it, she gets tons of compliments. Who doesn’t want someone telling them they smell good? Many girls I’ve talked to point out that cologne increases their attraction to a guy. But it’s not just about how much or what brand of perfume or cologne you’re wearing —our biology plays a huge role in attraction. This research isn’t new. According to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, a pheromone is a chemical substance excreted into the environment that elicits a psychological and behavioral response in others. Pheromones are undetectable scents that are attracting us to people. A November 1986 issue of The Washington Post reported that Winnifred Cutler had discovered the human pheromone. From then on, there have been new experiments regarding how these scents draw you to a particular woman or man. According to research by Martie Haselton, a professor of communications and psychology at the University of California-Los Angeles, men find women more attractive when see kokshanian page 14

themselves into tricky holes, all problems and confrontations are true: The show is not scripted, Allen said. “One thing you can unequivocally say the show is it is absolutely real,” Allen said. “No one is told what to do — the cameras are on, and this is real life. Whatever they do, it’s real.” Casting days usually attract anywhere from 150 applicants to several hundred hopeful MTV stars, Allen said. The Syracuse casting event had approximately 50 hopefuls already waiting at the bar when it began. Accompanying Peakes in her audition was Jalisa Wright, a junior philosophy and writing major.

ered certifiably naturally grown. In addition to pure syrup and the fluffy candy, the Beasleys sell maple cream, granulated sugar, coffee, tea, jelly, lollipops, fudge and maple-sugar-coated nuts. “We sell practically anything maple related,” Beasley said with a smile. These products will all be available in the bookstore, said Mark Visker, SU Bookstore’s market supplier. A pint of maple syrup costs $8, a 1-pound jar of maple cream sells for $13 and a 12-piece box of molded sugar candy costs $5. Jessica Iannetta, a freshman newspaper and online journalism major, is excited about the addition of SweeTrees products to the bookstore.

as far as two hours or even three states away to audition for the show. Wright said that she is a big fan of reality TV, but particularly enjoys when she feels what she is watching has some truth to it. “What I don’t like is feeling that it’s staged,” Wright said. “If it is a staged act, then I don’t want to know that they picked this person to have this sort of personality. I like it to try to get as close to ‘real’ and ‘reality’ as possible.” Not everyone may possess the “it” factor, but the show gives young adults across the nation the opportunity to impress the casting directors, Allen said. “We go all over the country, we interview a lot of different people. … If you want to apply, just be yourself,” she said. “That’s what we’re looking for.” ajcaren@syr.edu

“I went to the Apple Festival and one of my friends bought maple syrup cream. I got to try it, and we both thought it was really good. It made everything taste better,” she said. The Beasleys’ maple sugar products are already available at many places in Syracuse, including Funk ‘n Waffles and the Downtown Syracuse Farmers’ Market. Visker said he was a little hesitant at first to supply the Beasleys’ sweets at the bookstore. “We’ve tried maple products in the past and they didn’t do too well,” he said. Beasley said he believes that if the benefits of pure maple products were more common knowledge students may take more interest in buying them. “Whether they are buying it from us or from somebody else, at least they are buying it.” smhazlit@syr.edu

othing says “college” more than feasting on chicken wings and drinking a couple of brewdoggies, right? Of course, not all wings are created equal, so Pulp has scoured CampusFood.com to bring you four worthy contenders to compete for the title of “Best Chicken Wings Around.” Which wings will win?

To make the judging process as fair as possible, I broke it down into five categories, as follows: Ordering options (5 points): How many different sauce and spice levels are offered? Portion size (5 points): You’re a broke college kid — do you get your money’s worth? Skin crispness (5 points): Is the outside of the wing crisp or soggy? Juiciness (5 points): Is the chicken moist and tender or dry and tough? Delivery time (5 points): I ordered using CampusFood.com.

Juiciness: 5 points. Although these wings were smaller than ones from the other places, each one had plenty of thick, tender chicken.

Comments: The most appealing factor about Wings Over Syracuse is that it offers so many different sauce options. It offers all the staples as well as some unique flavors, like West Texas Mesquite and Garlic Parmesan. The Buffalo-style Red Alert wings, with their intense burn, tasted amazing. Though the texture of the wings disappointed — they just weren’t as crisp as I wanted — I would still order Wings again, just to taste-test delicious Cajun Teriyaki.

Comments: Burgers, Wings and Pirogies nailed the perfect combination of skin crispness and juicy meat, creating a texture that was just right. Another perk: Every order comes with a can of soda and a choice of a side (either taters or french fries). Something bizarre: when the wings arrived, the sauce was on the side instead of smothered on top of the chicken. This meant that each wing had to be individually dipped in sauce, which proved to be inconvenient. Yet, as the name suggests, Burgers, Wings and Pirogies also fries a mean potato dumpling.

Candid conversation with foodie, stand-up comedian John Pinette By Stacie Fanelli

ASST. PHOTO EDITOR

The Daily Orange chats with John Pinette about his comedy methods and how he plans to put them to use onstage during his “Still Hungry” tour. He will perform at the Oncenter on Oct. 7.

The Daily Orange: Would you consider yourself a comedy legend?

because there are just too many kinds of great comedy out there. It’s ring toss, you pitch until you win.

Do you have one or two jokes that you would say people define you by? The Chinese buffet bit. But I stopped using it for a while because I do want new material. I’m basically an entertainer.

Pinette: Oh, my goodness, no. I think there’s pretty much a consensus on the comedy legends. Yeah, I’ve been doing this for 25 years. Maybe if you’ve been doing it for 25 years and you can still get a laugh and tell a few jokes, then maybe you’re a legend. Charles Manson is a legend. I would like to think of myself of somebody who’s made a little history in the clubs and stand-up comedy.

How has the tour been so far? Have you gotten any new material along the way?

Do you have any influences in particular?

Oh, God, no. I’d kill myself. I would feel like I wasn’t trying. I would feel like I didn’t care enough about you to think of other funny things. I couldn’t do that to my audiences. There is an element of the comedy of just being funny around the living room kind of thing. A very big living room.

Many. Some of the older style comics — Buddy Hackett is a storyteller. Cosby was so clean and he was for everybody. It wasn’t unkind and it didn’t hurt, so I like Cosby a lot.

they are ovulating. In her experiment, she took underarm samples from women during days of high and low fertility during their cycles. After sniffing these samples, labeled A and B, men described the woman whose sample was from a high fertility day as sexier and more attractive. This was without seeing their faces. A similar test was conducted on the scent of men. Men were asked to wear a new T-shirt two nights in a row. Then, women were asked to smell the T-shirt samples and rated which scent they found most attractive. The women chose the men who had a differing major histocompatibility complex, or MHC, a series of immune system genes that tells our bodies what kind of diseases another person is fit to fight off in the form of an undetectable smell. Both of these results make sense from a

biological standpoint. Men are more attracted to women during days of high fertility because they are looking for a mate who can bear children. Women are attracted to men with a different MHC because this means their offspring will have a stronger immune system. Scent is something we all notice about the opposite sex. “For me, I usually notice when a girl smells bad as opposed to good,” said Aaron Ortega, a senior broadcast journalism major. He added that if a girl smells particularly bad, whether it comes from too much perfume or body odor, he makes it a point to stay away from her. As it turns out, putting a lot of effort into how you look when you go out at night won’t really seal the deal. When it comes to attraction, scents make sense.

Wings Over Syracuse Wings has so many sauce choices it’s easy to get overwhelmed. We’ve got you covered. Pulp touched base with manager Tim Pratt, who dishes about his top three favorite choices: Sweet Chili — “It’s like a spicy sweetand-sour sauce. It’s a light burn. If you eat a whole order of it, it will definitely linger with you for a little while. “ Afterburner — “It’s our hottest sauce. I like it in particular because when you eat it, it sets your face on fire. When you have something really spicy it releases a chemical, like an adrenaline rush. So eating Afterburner, it’s so hot that it’s a rush.” Garlic Parmesan — “It’s actually a dry rub, not a sauce. It’s a spice that we sprinkle on the chicken after it’s cooked. It’s out of this world, but it definitely leaves you with some solid breath.”

Pair of 2nd-half goals push Orange past feisty Albany in comeback win By Stephen Bailey ASST. COPY EDITOR

Heather Susek had a chance to tie the game. Standing near the right side of the shooting circle, Susek charged Taylor Luke — the lone Albany defender in between her and the net — dribbling right, left and right again to beat the SYRACUSE 3 defender. As the ball rolled onto ALBANY 2 the end line following her last touch, Susek extended her arms fully to reach the ball just before it rolled out of bounds. She pulled the ball back in front of the net with a sweeping motion and knocked it past the diving Albany goalkeeper. “I saw the goalie go down, so I kind of pulled around her,” Susek said. “It was really close to going out of bounds. I thought they were going to call it out of bounds, but it ended up going in. So I was happy.” Susek’s goal tied the game and set the stage for more late-game heroics for the Orange. Kelsey Millman scored in the 65th minute, as Syracuse rallied back from a one-goal deficit to defeat Albany 3-2 in front of 177 spectators at J.S. Coyne Stadium on Wednesday. No. 5 Syracuse (10-2, 3-0 Big East) relied on two second-half goals to defeat an attack-minded Albany (8-5, 0-1 America East) squad ranked 16th in the nation. But to get the win, the Orange had to overcome the Great Danes’ questionable tactics on offense. Albany’s backs appeared to be intentionally

“The whole game they were focusing more on the person that was dribbling and less on the middle of the ﬁeld. So once I got into the middle I was open, and then I could get the shot.”

SU FORWARD

lifting their free hits to strike Susek and the SU forwards in their lower bodies throughout the game. SU’s players were beyond the required five yards away on a free hit, but the Albany backs were still aiming to hit them. The Great Danes were trying to intimidate the Orange to keep them from pressing. “It was just getting really frustrating,” Susek said. “We were getting hit basically throughout the whole game.” Susek got the chance to expel some of that frustration when she scored the game-tying goal, making the score 2-2 in the 46th minute. A span of nearly 20 scoreless minutes followed Susek’s goal. The game appeared to be headed for overtime with only seven minutes left on the clock and the score still deadlocked. Coming out of a timeout, Susek trotted to the

Albany 25-yard line. Millman jogged farther right a couple of seconds later. As she passed Susek, their eyes caught one another’s and they tapped sticks. Soon after, Millman found the back of the net in the 65th minute. The play started when Nicole Nelson found midfielder Leonie Geyer on the left wing. Geyer utilized what Millman called “really good stick skills” to beat her defender and get into the shooting circle. As the defense collapsed on Geyer, she spotted Millman 10 yards in front of the net, ready and waiting for the pass. “The whole game they were focusing more on the person that was dribbling and less on the middle of the field,” Millman said. “So once I got into the middle I was open, and then I could get the shot.” Geyer passed it off to her teammate, and Millman buried it into the bottom left corner

to secure the victory for SU and keep its home winning streak intact. Millman said she has a mindset to finish games strong — a mentality that has paid off for her in late-game situations. Together Millman and Susek have combined for 17 goals this season and have played their best hockey with the game on the line. Head coach Ange Bradley credited the pair’s impressive production to a strong will to win and dedication to the team. For junior back Amy Kee, the offensive spark provided by Millman and Susek made the difference in the game. “It’s a whole team effort, so it’s really that when the defense are having an off day, that we can really have that fire up front and get those goals in,” Kee said. sebail01@syr.edu

SU sweeps Colgate behind play of Lefebvre By Nick Toney Staff Writer

Colgate head coach Ryan Baker knew his team had a problem as it huddled before the second set. He repeatedly told his players to watch No. 6 Noemie Lefebvre for Syracuse. But it didn’t matter. The Raiders had no for Lefebvre. And syracuse 3 answer her Syracuse teammates colgate 0 knew it, too. “There was really no stopping her tonight,” defensive specialist Ashley Williams said. “When she’s on, she can dominate.” Lefebvre carried the Orange to a three-set sweep of Colgate on Wednesday night in front of 121 in the Women’s Building. Syracuse (12-6, 2-1 Big East) had to fight off the Raiders (6-12, 3-1 Patriot League) in each set, winning 26-24 in all three. The Colgate players expertly shot around the vaunted Syracuse blocking game and nearly stole the first set and stayed close in the next two, but Lefebvre’s standout performance was too much for the Raiders to overcome. Heading into two weekend home games, SU will face tougher competition from conference opponents Villanova (12-5, 4-0) and Georgetown (9-8, 1-3). Lefebvre delivered when her team needed points the most. Down 15-13 in the first set, the senior snapped a three-point Colgate run with a series of acrobatic hits. First, Lefebvre leapt and spiked a ball set by freshman Emily Betteridge. When Raiders middle blocker Kaylee Dougherty blocked the spike straight down, Lefebvre dove to dig the

pinstripe bowl from page 24

“Absolutely, absolutely. I would love that,” Gross said. “I think that the Pinstripe Bowl folks would probably love to check out those types of relationships. There’s just good matchups. And heck, why can’t it be a Big East-ACC? Why can’t it be some of those types of things?” Once its current deal with the Big East and Big 12 expires, the bowl could be open to new options. That is when Gross hopes the ACC slides into the Big 12’s potentially vacated spot. Without the opportunity to play in the Big East Tournament at Madison Square Garden every year once ACC play begins, Syracuse, which Gross called the “big boy” in the state with potent football and basketball programs, will want to grasp onto any possible opportunities to compete in New York City. Though the Pinstripe Bowl isn’t a top-tier bowl game, it has value for Syracuse in the form of increased media exposure, as it is broadcasted on national television. But the ACC has not yet discussed its next bowl cycle, a conference official said. The conference is amid its October meetings, discussing topics such as when Syracuse and Pittsburgh will begin play in the ACC, what type of structure the conference will use — one division or two — and how its conference championships will be organized. When the time comes to potentially pursue a spot in the Pinstripe Bowl, the ACC will have to factor in the incentives of rekindling what soon may become dormant Big East rivalries. The ACC will explore bowls that

ball inches off the ground to save the point. Three hits later, Betteridge set up Lefebvre for a cross-court spike that no Colgate player could save. Williams said opponents have their hands full with Lefebvre when she plays that way. And SU assistant coach Kelly Morrisroe said Lefebvre was the key to the team’s victory. “Just giving us a little more on the offensive end was huge for us tonight,” Morrisroe said. “We’ve needed that from her.” For a team that usually struggles to find offensive rhythm, it was a spotty and lackadaisical defensive effort that kept the game close. Morrisroe said the players made it harder on themselves with slow adjustments and defensive slides. That sloppy defensive play was exemplified by a miscommunication in the first set. Tied at 11, Williams and freshman outside hitter Ying Shen collided while attempting to return a shot by Colgate setter Blaire Safir, and Colgate took the point. Blocks by Samantha Hinz and Lindsay McCabe at the net in the second set fell out of bounds as well. “They tipped a lot of our shots on defense, and they didn’t really have a conventional offense,” Williams said. “We have some work to do on the defensive end.” But that makes Lefebvre’s night all the more impressive. Her timely kills helped prevent an upset and covered up a rare night of SU defensive lapses. Even though Lefebvre had 10 digs on the night, McCabe said it was nice to see her focus more on her offensive game.

“She hasn’t been herself, and we know what she can do on offense,” McCabe said. “She stepped up.” Even more impressive is the fact that Lefebvre has been playing multiple positions. She played outside hitter before switching to libero two weekends ago against Niagara and last weekend against St. John’s and Connecticut.

receive a majority vote from the 14 athletic directors, the ACC official said. But that’s still three years away and the Pinstripe Bowl itself ultimately decides which conferences get bids. A Pinstripe Bowl official declined to comment on the ACC’s potential interest and said the organization is focused solely on its current contract. The Big East, however, is not necessarily buying into Gross’ vision of an ACC-Big East matchup in the Pinstripe Bowl. “Our teams already play ACC opponents in the Champs Sports Bowl and the Belk Bowl, so I’m not sure it would be prudent to add to that,” a Big East spokesman said in an email to The Daily Orange. With three years left on its existing bowl contracts, the spokesman said it’s “too early” for the Big East to speculate about future bowl partners. But when the conference does look into future bowl games, the spokesman said the Big East will value “desirable destinations and top-level competition for our schools.” Until then, Syracuse, which has already secured half of the six wins necessary to qualify for a bowl, has two more potential opportunities to play in the Pinstripe Bowl. Playing in last year’s inaugural bowl game at Yankee Stadium held sentimental value for many of the players on the team. For former Syracuse safety George Mayes, it was an opportunity to play in front of family — something he and the other 34 Syracuse players from New York and New Jersey weren’t often able to do at home games in the Carrier Dome last season. In Mayes’ mind, the day that stands out isn’t Dec. 30, when the game was played.

Rather, Mayes remembers four days earlier. If he could, Mayes would relive Dec. 26, 2010, every day. On that Sunday, he and his family drove from their home in Roselle, N.J., to the Grand Hyatt New York, where the SU football team stayed during the days leading up to the Pinstripe Bowl. Though it was only a half-hour drive, Mayes vividly remembers thinking back on memories at Syracuse with family and anticipating the culmination of his collegiate career in what would be his first and last bowl game. And there was no more fitting place to do so than close to home at Yankee Stadium. By the time he took the field Thursday, Mayes was ecstatic. “It was unreal to be honest man,” Mayes said. “ … It was probably one of the best days I’ve ever experienced in my life.” Now, Mayes sympathizes for the current and future SU players who may never have the chance to partake in the homecoming of sorts he did. Though he expects his alma mater to advance to Bowl Championship Series bowls in coming seasons, Mayes was looking forward to SU playing in the Pinstripe Bowl becoming a “big tradition” for years to come. The one Pinstripe Bowl the Orange did play in was about more than just the football program. It was about elevating SU’s campaign as “New York’s College Team.” “The fact that we’re New York’s College Team, I think it was big for the state,” Mayes said. “I think it was big for the university for us to just represent and for the folks to remain loyal.”

She played a hybrid outside hitter and libero position against Colgate Wednesday night. Lefebvre, who played libero for the Canadian National B Team, said she hasn’t been affected by the position changes. “I’m comfortable with whatever the coaches play me at,” Lefebvre said. The position switches could account for Lefebvre’s standout night. Lefebvre said that Colgate saw tape of her at libero and didn’t anticipate her playing outside hitter, a position closer to the net. Colgate looked confused in the third set trying to defend Lefebvre. She played near Williams, the libero, as Colgate tied the set at 22. On the next serve, though, Lefebvre joined sophomore Samantha Clarey and Hinz at the net. The Raiders players, who singled out Lefebvre before the serve by pointing and shouting to “watch No. 6,” still didn’t have an answer for a spike set up by junior Laura Homann. SU took a 23-22 lead and went on to win the set and the match. “That was huge,” Morrisroe said. “We’ll use her versatility more and create more mismatches as we go forward.” nctoney@syr.edu

Syracuse needs to beat Tulane to gain momentum before bye week

s Van Chew spoke on Wednesday afternoon, there was a sense of irony between his words and the backdrop behind him. Seated in front of a large panorama of the Carrier Dome displaying the kickoff from Greg Robinson’s first game as head coach — Sept. 4, 2005, Syracuse versus West Virginia — the SU wide receiver discussed getting over this past weekend, one of the most embarrassing losses for the Orange since Robinson ceased to be SU’s coach almost three years ago. “We basically just laid that game to rest,” Chew said. “And during the week we’re just going back to our fundamentals.” Last Saturday’s five-turnover implosion against Rutgers was similar to the game that started the Robinson era against WVU. In that game, a dreadful 15-7 loss for SU, the Orange turned the ball over twice, gained just 103 yards of total offense and went 0-of-15 on third down. All while forcing five turnovers in a superb defensive performance for the losing side. But that game started a 1-10 campaign and set the tone for the darkest era in Syracuse football history. Last Saturday’s loss, though, can just be a blip — a bad day for the SU stock in an otherwise rising season under head coach Doug Marrone. To ensure the loss to Rutgers is just a minor downtick, this week is integral for SU. The

TULANE FROM PAGE 24

SU is faced with a golden opportunity to reassert itself against a Green Wave (2-3, 1-1 Conference USA) rush defense that is one of the worst in the country. Despite Bailey’s pair of fumbles against Rutgers and Smith’s inability to pick up the crucial first down in overtime, Marrone and Hackett have faith in SU’s group of running backs. With Gulley out, Smith assumes the No. 2 role for the second consecutive week. Behind him is the 244-pound freshman, Adonis AmeenMoore, who arrived at Syracuse with a significant amount of hype after rushing for nearly 1,800 yards and scoring 26 touchdowns his senior year of high school. Steven Rene, the Orange’s punt returner, is fourth on the depth chart. The plan for Saturday against Tulane is a solid rotation with Bailey as the clear No. 1 back. “I think they’ve done a nice job,” Marrone said of the backups. “So I expect them — all three of those players — somewhere along the

MARK COOPER

and the funky bunch Orange plays a horrendous — absolutely horrendous — Tulane team. A Tulane team that, despite having two wins, has a coach that’s on the hot seat. The Green Wave lost 45-6 to Army and gave up 33 points to Southeastern Louisiana, a Football Championship Subdivision team that sits at 1-4. I won’t call it a must-win game for Syracuse, but it’s a really, really need-to-win game. “It’s real important,” Chew said. “Because if we go into the bye week with a losing streak, it’s going to be real bad, and it’s going to sit in people’s heads for the whole week. So we just got to strap up and be prepared for Saturday.” Syracuse needs to knock around the Green Wave. If not, if Tulane hangs around and finds a way to win, SU finds itself sitting at 3-3 at the midway point of the season. The Orange would be a .500 team without a sure win left on the schedule and bowl eligibil-

line, depending upon the play calling and what’s going on, but I wouldn’t be surprised if all of those players do get reps at running back in this upcoming game.” Though none of the Orange coaches and players would speak poorly of the Green Wave defense, it’s a unit that is statistically one of the worst in Division-I football against the run. Tulane gives up 168 yards rushing per game this season and has allowed 15 rushing touchdowns — tied for the most in the country. Last week, Tulane was massacred 45-6 by Army. The Black Knights racked up 353 yards on the ground and threw only three passes the entire game. “I know that our team feels very bad about not performing to their capabilities week in and week out,” Tulane head coach Bob Toledo said in Tuesday’s C-USA teleconference. Syracuse’s new quartet of running backs will look to reopen the wounds Army left in the Green Wave defense. And with Gulley out, Tulane must prepare for players with drastically different styles of play. The 5-foot-7 Bailey is quick and elusive, Smith is a complete back who can “do it all,”

ity not even close to guaranteed. The panic buttons that were pressed after Saturday would be hammered until they broke. “We’re not really focused too much on the future, but I’d say this is a very important game,” said Dan Vaughan, an SU linebacker and the team’s leading tackler. “We can’t let one loss lead to another, so we’re just focused on Tulane.” Plus, Syracuse should simply be able to knock around the Green Wave. This game shouldn’t be close. The Orange has a goal to compete for the Big East title, and Tulane is borderline dysfunctional. Its head coach, Bob Toledo, spent this week lashing out at naysayers and bandwagon jumpers. But giving up 33, 48 and 45 points to Southeastern Louisiana, Duke and Army could make even the most loyal die-hard consider taking a leap. “We, as coaches, don’t coach some of the things that are going on,” Toledo said in a press conference on Tuesday. “ … To throw interceptions, to fumble and get beat deep. We don’t coach them to do that, but that’s part of the game. Unfortunately, it’s happened to us, and it’s happened to us numerous times.” The SU defense just forced four turnovers against Rutgers. This is a game to wreak havoc, hit the quarterback, get up a few touchdowns

and watch the backups play. Right? “The one thing that we’re dealing with is again a situation where you’re up on a team and how do you get to that next score to really put the game, to some extent, out of reach,” Marrone said in his Wednesday teleconference. “That’s the situation that we haven’t been in before.” It’s a situation that the great teams find themselves in all the time. The top teams in the Big East this season have done it. West Virginia beat Bowling Green 55-10. South Florida topped Texas- El Paso 52-24. Syracuse failed in its first opportunity to pick up a comfortable win, squeaking one out over Rhode Island. The damage done by the G-Rob era is still visible. Mediocre attendance. A fan base whose belief wavers week to week. Losses to Akron and Miami (Ohio) and a single-digit win over Northeastern define those years. A big win over Tulane would show a difference. And maybe, someday, it could help lead to a new backdrop for players to sit before.

“We need to utilize every guy on the team. We need to win football games, and it’s hard to get through the season with just two running backs.”

Coming from him, you can’t take it personal. So it’s like, ‘If he thinks I should be doing this, then I probably should be doing it.’” With the bulk of the workload falling on Bailey’s shoulders, Syracuse has eclipsed the 100-yard mark in each of the past two games. To keep that going against Tulane, Smith and Co. must step up. And while Gulley’s burst and energy will certainly be missed, the group behind him provides the potential for addition by subtraction. Saturday against Tulane is a chance to get everyone involved and assign clear roles before the rest of the Big East schedule kicks in. “We need to utilize every guy on the team,” Hackett said. “We need to win football games, and it’s hard to get through the season with just two running backs.”

Nathaniel Hackett

SU OFFENSIVE COORDINATOR

in the words of Hackett, Ameen-Moore is a wrecking ball and Rene is a shifty punt returner with limited experience in the backfield. Gulley has been in the film room with Smith this week, helping him work his way into the No. 2 spot. Bailey said Gulley’s energy hasn’t wavered despite his injury, and he’s been a key source of motivation this week. He went as far as calling him another coach for the Orange. “In the running back room, Tyson is like my best friend,” Smith said. “Me and him still talk, he still watches film with me every Sunday.

Jefferson considering all college options; has interest in SU By Ryne Gery

Asst. Sports Editor

Amile Jefferson is taking his time. The senior power forward at Friends’ Central (Pa.) School is exploring every possibility before deciding where to play college basketball. With a final list of 10 or 11 schools he’s choosing from, Jefferson, a four-star recruit according to Rivals.com, has had a lot to consider this fall. And he’ll have even more to think about

“I think he’s probably the best baseline forward in the country. And for being such a not very physical guy, he is a tremendous finisher.”

Dave Telep

Recruiting analyst for ESPN.com

after he takes all of his official visits and meets with college coaches. “There’s something different about every school that he’s visited or every coach that he’s talked to that he finds appealing,” Friends’ Central head coach Jason Polykoff said. “So what he needs to do is, when it’s all said and done and he’s visited every school, is kind of sit down and see what situation’s the best situation for him

both athletically, academically, socially.” Jefferson, the No. 12 power forward in his class, is currently in the midst of making official visits to schools and meeting with coaches. He’s already taken unofficial visits to North Carolina State, Villanova, Temple and Maryland, and he took an official visit to Ohio State last weekend, Polykoff said. The head coach said Jefferson also plans to visit Connecticut and is interested in Syracuse, among others. Cedric Jones coaches Jefferson’s AAU team, Team Philly, and said Jefferson met with Stanford on Tuesday. Polykoff said four more colleges were meeting with him at home or in school on Wednesday. Due to his focus on the recruiting process, Jefferson was unavailable for comment. The power forward has caught the attention of so many schools because of his athletic build, ability to finish in the lane and his knowledge of the game. He averaged 19.5 points and 11 rebounds last season for the Phoenix. Jefferson continued to impress against top competition over the summer at the National Basketball Players Association Top 100 Camp and LeBron James Skills Academy, solidifying himself as a top recruit. “I think he’s probably the best baseline forward in the country,” said Dave Telep, senior basketball recruiting analyst for ESPN.com. “And for being such a not very physical guy, he is a tremendous finisher.” Those qualities have Syracuse interested in the 6-foot-7, 185-pound forward. And Jefferson is also intrigued by what the Orange has to offer.

Adding to the appeal is the fact that Friends’ Central alumnus Hakim Warrick played for Syracuse, helping the Orange win the 2003 national championship before moving on to the NBA. Polykoff said the school’s rich history in basketball and its strong academic reputation grabbed Jefferson’s attention. Jefferson got a chance to play with Warrick on the “Friends’ Central Alumni” team in the Delaware County Pro-Am League over the summer. And Jefferson has been able to ask Warrick about his experience at Syracuse. “Amile’s gotten a chance to talk to him about the school (Syracuse) and ask the pertinent questions: What’s it like to play there and balance academics with athletics? The important questions,” Polykoff said. “So I mean that’s helped because he knows somebody that’s in the inside that he could talk to.” Polykoff, who played with Warrick at Friends’ Central, said his old teammate and Jefferson are built the exact same way — both are long, lean and athletic. But the similarities end there. Their games are completely different. “Hakim was a high-flyer, dunking from the foul line, getting rebounds and throwing out to the outlet,” Polykoff said. “Amile is more under control. He’ll play with his back to the basket. He’ll give you an up-and-under.” Jefferson’s crafty play stems from his knowledge and understanding of the game. Jones, his AAU coach, said his basketball IQ is higher than anyone’s he has ever coached. Jefferson

has had the right way to play the game drilled into him since he started playing for Jones in the fourth grade. “We always preach, ‘Think the game, think the game, think the game,’ from when they were in the fourth and fifth grade,” Jones said. Following that philosophy, Jefferson quickly learned the difference between a good shot and a bad shot in certain situations. He learned how to recognize mismatches on the floor and to attack them instantly. Now in high school, Polykoff gives Jefferson the freedom to change the team’s defense based on what he sees and feels on the court. On offense, his feel for the game is often on display. On one play against Abington Friends School last year, Jefferson was surrounded by three players. He calmly used a ball fake to shake one defender, and a shot fake sent a second defender in the air. Jefferson was left one-on-one in the post for an easy two points. “That’s one of those plays where you just look and you go, ‘Wow, that’s pretty athletic and pretty creative,’” Polykoff said. “ … That’s something that only a few guys can do.” And as he does on the court, Jefferson is taking in everything around him during the recruiting process before making his move. “Everyone knows he’s a good kid, and it’s not like he’s looking for a one-track to the NBA,” Polykoff said. “He’s looking for a school that supplies academics, athletics and social life that is a fit for him, just like he does most things.” rjgery@syr.edu

Georgia Tech leads nation in rushing behind vaunted triple-option attack By Andrew Tredinnick Asst. Copy Editor

It’s never an easy task preparing for a tripleoption offense. The style is a staple for only a few schools in the Football Bowl Subdivision. An option-based spread offense as fine-tuned as the one deployed by Georgia Tech head coach Paul Johnson — one that has rushed for 378.2 yards per game this season — presents an extremely daunting task. “Sometimes it takes a couple series to get used to the speed you’re seeing it at,” Maryland head coach Randy Edsall said during Wednesday’s Atlantic Coast Conference teleconference. “You cannot demonstrate that speed and that execution with your scout team during the week.” The Terrapins are the next team to try and contain one of the most potent and unique offenses in all of college football this weekend. Georgia Tech’s (5-0, 2-0 Atlantic Coast Conference) triple-option offense has presented all kinds of problems for its opponents at this juncture of the season. Through five games this

season the undefeated No. 13 Yellow Jackets have averaged the most rushing yards per game in the nation. It’s an offense that has succeeded everywhere that Johnson has coached. As a head coach at Navy, Johnson’s team led the league in rushing for three straight seasons from 2005-07. Though many critics questioned whether the triple option would succeed in a Bowl Championship Series conference like the ACC, the Yellow Jackets have been in the top five in the nation running the ball in each of Johnson’s first three seasons. Johnson believes this year’s Georgia Tech team has been the most efficient. “They’re doing a good job blocking downfield, and we’ve been efficient in the throwing game,” Johnson said during the teleconference. “The nature of what we do kind of spreads you out, and if you make a mistake or miss a tackle, there’s a tendency to have a big play.” North Carolina State struggled to prevent those big plays last week. The Yellow Jackets produced 13 plays that went more than 10 yards, including two touchdowns. In all, the Yellow Jackets have averaged a superb 8.84 yards per play this season. Georgia Tech’s offense presents a distinct test for defenses because the ball often ends up in the hands of multiple offensive playmakers. The nature of Johnson’s triple option is that he utilizes a quarterback, a fullback and two slot running backs. Any one of them can carry the football. Eight players have more than 15 carries for the Yellow Jackets this season. The running back tails the quarterback on a bootleg and the quarterback has the ability to pitch the ball backward. The confusion this

style of offense presents often leads to largely positive plays. “You can’t get frustrated,” Edsall said. “You have to find a way to try and get them offschedule because they get 3 or 4 yards a pop, and 3 or 4 yards on a drive is going to get you a first down. You’ve got to be patient, you’ve got to understand that they might break a play for 10 or 12 at times.” And this season, the Yellow Jackets have added an extra element to their game that has raised concern for many coaches. Despite throwing the football just 59 times altogether, they are averaging 208.8 yards per game through the air. Starting quarterback Tevin Washington has thrown 10 touchdown passes to one interception. The passing game kept North Carolina State honest on defense last game and allowed Georgia Tech to rush for 296 yards in a 45-35 win. “It scared the heck out of us,” Wolfpack head coach Tom O’Brien said during the teleconference. “We held them to 4-of-13 (sic) throwing the ball, but all four plays were big plays.” On the first drive of the game against North Carolina State, the Yellow Jackets were faced with fourth-and-10 on their own 48-yard line. Johnson sent out the punting unit. But just when O’Brien thought he had contained the option offense for a drive, Johnson had another trick up his sleeve. The long snapper sent the ball to defensive back Jemea Thomas, who sped up field off the right tackle and took the ball down to the Wolfpack’s 25-yard line. Four plays later, Georgia Tech took the lead. Johnson’s unique scheme has led the Yellow Jackets to their first 5-0 season since 1990. Mary-

land will look to contain a team who runs the option around 40 times each day, Johnson said, and the task at hand remains an intimidating one. No one has stopped it yet. “The toughest thing that you have in preparing for Georgia Tech is you can get the look at it in practice,” Edsall said. “You don’t get the look in terms of the speed or precision of how they run it because that’s all they do. That’s the thing that’s a concern when you go in to play them.” adtredin@syr.edu

Division-III Wesley beats FCS school Charleston Southern By Katie McInerney Special Projects Editor

Wesley College Athletic Director and head coach Mike Drass scheduled a Football Championship Subdivision opponent for Oct. 1 simply out of necessity. But with the success that Drass and his Wolverines had on the field this past weekend, it makes sense why he says “we’d do it again.” Division-I I I Wesley defeated FCS opponent Charleston Southern, 32-20, last Saturday, during CSU’s homecoming weekend. In the first two drives of the game, the Wesley offense was pinned at its own 2- and 5-yard line, but took the ball down field for scoring drives both times. This gave the Wolverines momentum for the rest of the game. Wesley, located in Dover, Del., isn’t in a football league, and each game is scheduled individually, Drass said. In early February, Drass noticed the squad still had an open date Oct. 1, so he sent an email out to schools on the East Coast. Charleston Southern took the team up on its offer. “We want to play 10 games, and we knew it

would be a major step up from a competition standpoint,” Drass said. “Our kids were excited about it, but I wasn’t looking for a I-AA team or a scholarship team. For me, we were in a position that we were going to play people who wanted to play us.” Drass wasn’t surprised by his team’s win. Some players on the team had experience playing against a team of this caliber — Wesley beat Iona in 2007, when the school still had a football program — but he knew he had to prepare his team tactfully to avoid anxiousness once they hit the field. Going into the game, the coaching staff tried to keep the excitement down to a minimum. Drass said they “weren’t trying to make this the Super Bowl.” But the preparation proved difficult for the coaches, said offensive coordinator and associate head coach Chip Knapp. The film used to prepare for the game was from a game against Atlantic Coast Conference team Florida State, who demolished CSU 62-10. “It was a bit of uncharted waters, it was hard to tell the talent level,” he said. “Since there was some unbalanced play there, you prepare as you do for any other team.” Although the preparation was atypical, the typical pregame energy was evident once the team got to campus. After a 10-hour bus ride, the Wolverines pulled up to streets lined with palm trees and thousands of alumni tailgating for the Buccaneers’ homecoming weekend. As the pregame announcements began, Knapp said, the team didn’t have to get motivated for the game — because of the atmosphere, they couldn’t help but be excited. But once the team hit the field, Knapp said, it was business as usual. And that business resulted in a decisive victory for a team two divisions lower than its opponent. After the game, the 10-hour bus ride back to Dover allowed the team to soak in the victory. The feeling of satisfaction was apparent. Not to mention, the response from friends, family and other coaches who were watching along. The text messages and congratulatory phone calls were much appreciated, Knapp said. “Normally, you hear from your family. But we were hearing from people we hadn’t heard

He hopes the win can help Division III shed the stigma of being the lowest level of college football. “High school kids don’t aspire to play Division-III football,” he said. “But maybe they’ll look at D-III a little bit different than they used to.”

Gross and Syracuse hope Pinstripe Bowl will sign on with ACC By Stephen Bailey

ASST. COPY EDITOR

aryl Gross has actively marketed Syracuse as “New York’s College Team” since he began his tenure as athletic director seven years ago. Syracuse’s victory over Kansas State in the inaugural New Era Pinstripe Bowl at Yankee Stadium last December was a milestone for Gross in achieving his ultimate goal of dominating New York’s collegiate landscape. With Syracuse set to join the Atlantic Coast Conference in 2014, though, the

program may not get a chance to play on that stage in the future. The Pinstripe Bowl is currently in the second year of a four-year contract with the Big East and Big 12. So when SU makes the move to the ACC in 2014, the Pinstripe Bowl’s contract will be open. And Gross would like nothing more than for the ACC to explore a contract with the Pinstripe Bowl when its current deal expires to maintain Syracuse’s influence in New York and potentially compete against former Big East rivals.

Syracuse looks to put Rutgers loss in past by utilizing strong running game

By Michael Cohen

SPORTS EDITOR

he second game began in overtime. A 13-13 tie with Rutgers at the end of regulation reset the score, giving both teams a fresh start. Antwon Bailey’s first-quarter fumble was erased. “Every game we go into, we want to say we can pound it,” Syracuse offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett said. “That’s the identity that we want to have.” Overtime was no exception. On

SU’s possession in the fi rst extra period, Bailey chipped away at the Scarlet Knights’ defense. Ten yards here, 6 there, another 3 there. But on third-and-1, second-string tailback Jerome Smith was stuffed. No gain. The drive stalled, and Syracuse kicked a field goal. “One of the things we have to do is just keep building confidence in this running game, so we’re not holding our breath on third down or fourthand-short and being able to go out there and be able to feel extremely

confident in what we’re doing,” SU head coach Doug Marrone said. And as the Orange (3-2, 0-1 Big East) travels to Tulane this weekend for a prime-time showdown at 8 p.m. in the Louisiana Superdome, pounding the ball is again the focus. Despite the loss of Prince-Tyson Gulley, who is out for the season with a broken collarbone, Syracuse’s primary offensive focus won’t be altered. Behind a veteran offensive line that has strung together a trio of strong performances, SEE TULANE PAGE 19
