Students willing to buy illegal IDs, break laws to enhance social lives

ive seconds. That’s all it takes.

It’s the same process every time. An underage student will wait for the bouncer of a Marshall Street bar to look at his or her ID,

scan it and give him or her the curt, go-ahead nod.

But in those five seconds, the bouncer fails to realize the student’s ID is fake, often including a photo not at all resembling the actual student.

For many underage SU students,

fake IDs are essential. Viewed by many as a catalyst for an active social life, some students will take creative and drastic measures to obtain a fake ID. “Our campus, like other campuses around the nation, revolves around

It was difficult for former chancellor Kenneth “Buzz” Shaw to pick the right time to announce his retirement. Ultimately, he decided the date rested on one thing: basketball.

He originally planned to announce his retirement in April of 2003, but chose to wait to avoid conflictSHAW ing with the men’s basketball team’s advance to the NCAA Final Four.

The decision of timing is one that weighs heavily in a chancellor’s decision of when to announce that he or she will step down. On Thursday, current chancellor Nancy Cantor announced she would step down on the heels of reaching the billion-dollar fundraising goal of The Campaign for Syracuse University.

Shaw, who served as SU’s chancellor from 1991-2004, said he was happy he delayed his announcement because the tournament was “more important in the scheme of things” for SU. “It wasn’t as if one day I woke up and said, ‘Oh it’s time to go,’” Shaw said. “I had been chancellor for 13 years and felt comfortable that I had plenty left in my tank, but

SU students, faculty provide insight on important qualities needed in next chancellor

By Evan Bianchi ASST. COPY EDITOR

It’s hard for Jesse Feitel to imagine Syracuse University without Chancellor Nancy Cantor. Cantor’s initiatives made it possible for Feitel, a senior political science major, to secure a four-year financial aid grant and attend SU. As Cantor has recently announced

her intention to step down from her position in June 2014, the question arises: Who will fill the position as chancellor?

While the answer to this is long from certain, Feitel and others in the SU community weighed in on the type of person they would like to see appointed as chancellor.

Feitel, one of two undergradu-

ate representatives to the Board of Trustees, said his role has allowed him to work closely with Cantor.

Feitel said he hopes the next chancellor “loves Syracuse as much as she does.”

Taylor Guy, a junior psychology major, said she wants the next chancellor to be as involved as Cantor.

“She’s had a lot of events and she

keeps in touch with the community,” Guy said. “I’d want to see someone who continues to do that.”

This focus on community, for which Cantor is known so well, puts her into the category of chancellors that Andre Gallois, a philosophy professor, calls “visionary.”

Gallois said that he would like to see somebody “traditional” succeed

Cantor. This type of chancellor would “focus on traditional activities such as teaching programs.”

Cantor’s contributions include The Campaign for Syracuse University, which raised over $1 billion, and creating the Scholarship in Action initiative.

ROTC collects necessities for soldiers

By Leslie King

CONTRIBUTING WRITER

The life of an army ROTC cadet may be hard, but the life of an active duty soldier is even more challenging.

Tyler Cowan, a senior Teacher, Assessor, Coach in Syracuse University’s ROTC program, knows this all too well. Cowan’s brother, 1st Lt. Ryan Cowan, currently serves in Afghanistan at a combat outpost. One of the most difficult parts of serving overseas is not having access to everyday necessities, Cowan said.

To aid these soldiers, Cowan recently decided to start a drive to collect goods, specifically hygiene products, to send to soldiers in Afghanistan. Soldiers at combat outposts receive airdrops every three to four days, but only receive a small number of goods, Cowan said.

“I’m here living high and mighty and they’re there for nine to 12 months living in a pretty bad place. There’s still a war going on; most people don’t realize that,” he said.

Tully Award winner gives voice to her country

By Erin Kelly

CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Bahraini journalist Lamees Dhaif gave up her home, family and country.

And she did it all for people she didn’t even know. She did it for all the people in Bahrain.

She cannot return to her home without risking her life or the lives of her loved ones.

Dhaif was presented with the Tully Center for Free Speech Award for her courage and fierce dedication to

journalism on Monday at 7 p.m. in the Joyce Hergenhan Auditorium.

Syracuse University students were given an exclusive insight to Dhaif’s work and the lives of the citizens of Bahrain through a speech, video presentation and Q-and-A session led by Roy Gutterman, the director of the center.

Dhaif has been dedicated to the oppressed and a voice to the people in her native country.

“The people have no rights,” she said. “All the power lies within one fam-

ily. The people are denied their basic human rights and native Bahrainis are treated as second-class citizens.”

Gutterman said the fact that this award exists is sad, as it shows how free speech is lacking in much of the world.

Dhaif became a journalist to give a voice to the people. She said she wanted to expose the severely corrupt Bahraini regime and how all the county’s serious issues lead right back to the royal family in control.

Despite Dhaif’s criticisms of the government, the government avidly follows her work.

Dhaif released a series of articles, “insulting the judiciary” of Bahraini.

The articles exposed the bias against women in Bahraini family courts.

Dhaif was then fired from the four jobs she held and blacklisted in each of the Gulf regions she worked in.

Instead of appeasing the government, Dhaif took to social media.

General assembly discusses communication between DPS, students

By Anna Giles STAFF WRITER

Student Association President Dylan Lustig called for an increase in student interaction with the Department of Public Safety in response to a stabbing at Syracuse University’s Orange Madness event last weekend.

“It’s one thing to have something like this happen off campus, and it’s a completely different thing when it happens right in our front yard,”

Lustig said. “It’s scary.”

The safety issue was a major topic of discussion at Monday’s SA meeting at 7:30 p.m. in the Panasci Lounge in the Schine Student Center.

Lustig said he spoke with DPS Chief Tony Callisto and Dean of Student Affairs Thomas Wolfe about improving communication between campus police and students. Lustig said the emails DPS sends to the student body often go

LET TERS TO THE EDITOR

Dalai Lama proves nonviolence can be effective on small scale too The Dalai Lama was just here and spoke about peace and nonviolence. What is nonviolence, and is it for cowards or the brave?

At the core of nonviolence is a deep respect for human life — including the enemy’s — and a conviction that social change and justice arise when the root causes of suffering, conflict and hatred are addressed. Not many people hold to this value, but there have been some highly influential people committed to it: Thoreau, Tolstoy, Gandhi, Martin Luther King Jr., Buddha and Jesus.

One reason why history repeats itself is that we believe in redemptive violence — that violence solves our problems, redeems a situation and ends conflicts. Violence creates more suffering, hurt and resentment, which lay the groundwork for further violence.

We have a messy history of engaging in and supporting violence, like arming rebel forces in other countries only to have them become

our enemies, or at least dictators and terrorists. Two examples are Saddam Hussein and Osama bin Laden.

Nonviolence does not imply cowardice or a refusal to stand up for injustice. It actively engages and sheds light on injustice. The difference is that nonviolent struggle involves risking one’s own life as opposed to taking the lives of others. People who engage in a nonviolent struggle clearly show they are fighting for good without committing evil in the process. It’s a moral power that can be exercised by anyone and has the power to win over enemies.

Most groups fighting for their rights have no chance of winning an armed struggle. They are almost always up against more powerful forces, governments or armies. Furthermore, when violent liberators are crushed by an oppressive regime, few take their place to continue the struggle. When nonviolent libera-

tors are crushed, more people join the fight, including some who were previously enemies.

The admitted difficulty of nonviolence is that it takes a high level of commitment, creativity, bravery and discipline.

Nonviolence is for brave people who have come to see that violence is actually weak, and the struggle for justice has to look different than the same broken systems that have perpetuated injustice, fear and hatred throughout history.

Nonviolence also works on a smaller scale. Is something going unsaid that’s causing tension? Is someone being passiveaggressive? Break the cycle by addressing the root cause. Nonviolence is not wishful thinking — it works.

Students decide: When does SU celebrate Halloween this year?

This October is offering the students on campus quite the predicament, or maybe it’s just me. I have no idea when to celebrate Halloween. And frankly, it’s stressing me out.

Halloween this year falls on a Wednesday, and I clearly will be celebrating that night down at Faegan’s Cafe & Pub or Chuck’s Cafe, but what weekend should I celebrate it: the weekend before or the weekend after All Hallows’ Eve? College students are not satisfied with just one night of Halloween; we need multiple. Each

weekend has valid arguments to host the celebrations, but it is hard to choose.

The weekend before is in October, which feels right, but dressing up a full four or five days in advance does not. The weekend after Halloween is closer to the date, but it’s in November. At that point I am thinking about Thanksgiving; maybe I’ll dress up as a turkey one night.

This dilemma has been taking up way too much of my time, probably resulting in several

poor midterm grades, and I need help figuring it out before I have to repeat my senior year. More importantly, I have a party and costumes to plan.

I need to know soon. So I ask The Daily Orange and my fellow students to help me figure this out.

Which weekend should we all celebrate?

My vote is both weekends.

Reinstating Operation Prevent would benefit all Reinstating Operation Prevent could be a benefit to students, bar owners and local police departments around the Syracuse University bar scene.

The program, funded through grants, aimed to cut down on underage drinking and was responsible for the bar raid that eventually shut down Maggie’s Restaurant and Sports Bar in 2009. But the grant money ran out and there wasn’t more money in the budget to keep it going.

Since the program ended, it has been up to the bar owners and bouncers to be vigilant about fake IDs. The relationship between bar owners and the Syracuse Police Department weakened after the program ended, SPD Lt. Shannon Trice said.

But it is not enough to rely on bar owners to be vigilant, as students at SU do drink illegally by using fake IDs. Part of this is word of mouth.

Students talk about where they

EDITORIAL by the daily orange editorial board should go and try out their fake IDs for themselves. If they get in once, it serves as positive reinforcement to try again.

If a bar is raided, the consequences for hosting underage students using fake IDs are strict. The students are breaking the law and can also get in trouble.

Reinstating the program, even if it is in small steps, could begin to change the culture on campus and cut down on the use of fake identification. If bar owners and police officers reinstate weekly meetings, it will encourage the bar owners to take the issue more seriously. If bouncers are properly trained on spotting fake IDs and do not let students using fake IDs in, the culture of the campus will change.

Microsoft 8 will finally bring company back into relevance in software market

n the coming weeks men and women will be ending their 11-year relationship. The transition away from the familiar will inevitably leave many bewildered and dazed, but progress is necessary.

Windows 8 is arriving.

Approximately 31 percent of global personal computers are still stuck in the previous decade bound tightly to their comfy Windows XP. Oct. 26 will be the first time in more than a decade that Microsoft is looking to progress and finally stifle the growth of Apple.

Windows 8 and the radical new redesign will enable the brand to finally renter the “cool tech” scene it once dominated. For years, Windows had been a mere medium in which your computer activity resided. Now Microsoft wants you to update because the new features of Windows 8 are central to your computer behavior.

Back in 2003, Apple was not a major player in the personal computer industry. It claimed a 2-percent market share compared to Windows claiming a staggering 94 percent.

In 2006, Windows Vista was released with the intention of making Windows XP obsolete. Unfortunately, the engineers at Microsoft were overeager and pushed the release too soon. Security and driver issues surfaced. These highly publicized complaints wreaked havoc on Microsoft’s reputation for the next several years until Windows 7 was released in 2009 to replace the mess.

Windows 8 is Microsoft’s opportunity to rebrand as a cool and innovative brand similar to the way it was viewed about a decade ago. In the meantime, Apple, Google and Facebook have emerged as major titans in the technology industry. This operat-

Windows 8 symbolizes the convergence of tablet, mobile and desktop computing. Up until this point there was a learning curve in order to become proficient in the latest technology release. Microsoft’s tiling style is now uniform across all of its devices. This innovative step outpaces Apple because its devices still exhibit different user experiences.

This transformation of appearance, although substantially different from the status quo, enhances the fluidity of the user experience.

Microsoft’s enthusiasm about Windows 8 is palpable and the planned $1-1.5 billion marketing campaign is designed to make a powerful statement in the tech marketplace.

Microsoft is planning launch parties across the United States at its 27 newly minted shopping-mall stores.

The store is just a piece of the company’s new philosophy of generating an active brand community similar to Apple. These stores are not designed to sell; rather, they are promoting the simple and integrated climate associated with the new Windows 8 feel.

Therefore, if Windows 8 is a tremendous success, it can catapult the operating system division to new heights if there is a high adoption rate.

These monumental shifts in the way we navigate the computer screen my change our habits regarding browsing for the next decade. Microsoft’s dominance and the convergence of devices coupled with the Windows 8 launch could have the potential to reinvent the way we interact with technology.

FAKE IDS FROM PAGE 1

while she used it to buy alcohol, she specifically used it at the local bars.

On a typical weekend, at least one-third of the people trying to get into bars will have a fake ID, said Blake Reading, a junior film major and a former bouncer for a Marshall Street bar.

Students who are involved in greek life and those who reported a heavy drinking episode are more likely to own a fake ID, according to a July 2011 “Addictive Behaviors” study.

The study found 7.7 percent of incoming college freshmen own fake IDs. — When the lights came on at Maggie’s, Alejandro Fernandez-Lovo knew something was wrong. The then-SU senior never really liked Maggie’s, but was there for a friend’s birthday.

At the time, he didn’t know he would be one of the bar’s last customers.

Maggie’s Restaurant and Sports Bar was raided on April 1, 2009 by the New York State Liquor Authority, the Syracuse Police Department, New York State Police, the Department of Public Safety and the Onondaga County Sheriff’s Office.

The bar was cited for underage drinking, sale of alcohol to a minor and possessing or using fake identification.

The State Liquor Authority revoked the bar’s liquor license and two weeks later, the bar was shut down for good. Police confiscated 53 fake IDs and distributed approximately 87 citations for underage drinking.

The raid was organized through Operation Prevent, a program that aimed to reduce underage drinking near the university. But the program was eliminated when its grant money ran

out, said Lt. Shannon Trice of SPD. SPD still patrols the bars in Syracuse, but no major raids have occurred in the past couple of years, said Trice, who was head of the operation.

“We’re asking the bars to be vigilant,” Trice said. “Some of them are, some of them aren’t.”

During Operation Prevent, about 500 citations were given a year for possession of fake IDs. Currently, about 50 citations are given a year, he said.

“It was a very good program. It’s something we probably need to do more of, but unfortunately in these tight times, with lack of personnel and lack of money, it becomes difficult,” Trice said. “Things have to be prioritized.”

When the Department of Public Safety or even SPD encounters a student with a fake ID, the student is usually subjected to judicial review within the university, said Lt. Vernon Thompson, Investigations and Crime Prevention Commander for DPS. Trice said he feels the raid at Maggie’s changed the way bars check IDs. “Anytime you affect people’s pocketbooks you’ll see changes in behavior,” he said. “Obviously the bar owners on the hill are there to make money and we just want to make sure there aren’t underage drinkers consuming alcoholic beverages.”

To be served alcohol at Harry’s Bar, one of the oldest bars on Marshall Street, a customer must have three forms of identification, said Luc Logan, a bartender at Harry’s. They can include a driver’s license, an SUID or a debit card.

“Our owner doesn’t want to lose the bar and get screwed over with fake IDs,” Logan said.

The State Liquor Authority, part of the Division of Alcoholic Beverage Control, provides liquor licenses with ID training, said Bill Crowley, director of public and legislative affairs for the New York SLA.

He said the SLA recommends bars and liquor stores use scanners when checking IDs. Stephen Theobald, the new owner of Chuck’s Cafe, said he is thinking about having his bouncers use scanners.

“It’s certainly an evolving challenge,” Theobald said. “But to be honest I’m not sure that (scanners) are the end-all, be-all answer.”

For the 1,000 students that go to D.J.’s every weekend, the bar’s bouncer scans every ID and asks for a second form of identification, said owner Dean Whittles.

“We don’t want to put any student in jeopardy when drinking and we don’t want to put our liquor license in jeopardy,” he said. “I’ve got to be honest with you; I would be lying if I say that there is not fake-ID culture on campus.”

The owners of Faegan’s Pub & Cafe and Lucy’s Retired Surfer Bar & Restaurant could not be reached for comment.

Blake Reading, the former bouncer, had a brief training on how to check IDs when he was a bouncer. He was told to memorize key characteristics of IDs that could be easily replicated.

Reading said he usually bent and rolled IDs and looked for holograms.

There are bouncers working at bars on Marshall Street that aren’t trained, Reading said. Some simply look for age, while others ask for a second form of ID to see if the name matches.

“I’ve heard of other bouncers at other bars being offered sex for getting into the bars,” Reading said. “I would get offered money to buy beer and stuff like that.”

Maurice Krohl, owner of Student Choice Foods on Marshall Street, has a signature move when checking IDs. He requires the customer to sign his or her name on a piece of paper to make sure that it matches the ID. If Krohl finds a fake, he pushes a hidden but-

service work throughout the year, mostly with disabled veterans through the Team Red White & Blue program. This year, ROTC is resurrecting a drive to collect goods for active duty soldiers, said Lt. Col. Michael Kubala, head of the SU ROTC program.

But ROTC has faced some challenges collecting these items. A protest earlier in the school year by anti-war activists, combined with the difficulty of promoting the drive, has made it hard for ROTC to collect items, Cowan said.

He said the cause is important regardless.

Said Cowan: “It made it sink in. Whether you agree with war or not, there are still people over there.”

SU’s Board of Trustees, said in a statement that Cantor’s initiatives helped achieve “greatness” at SU. “I can’t think of a greater gift or a more powerful tool for assuring our continued success well into the future,” Thompson said.

unread and that DPS needs to create a better way to inform students about campus safety issues.

He suggested DPS officers host a town hallstyle meeting open to students with any questions or concerns. SA is also working on improving its DPS advisory board, an initiative meant to create an additional avenue for communication between students and campus police.

At this point, students need to take safety measures into their own hands, Lustig said. He also mentioned that some of the crimes being reported are “crimes of opportunity” that victims could prevent by taking the necessary precautions.

“We really need to remember to do our part (as students),” Lustig said, “DPS and SPD (Syracuse Police Department) can only do so much. It’s up to us to work with them to make sure we stay safe.”

Lustig said employees at the Carrier Dome are doing everything they can to improve security after Friday night’s stabbing during Orange Madness. He said metal detectors at Dome events might be necessary to protect students.

Some of the candidates for SA president presented their platforms to the student body last week. So far, Vice President Allie Curtis and Chair of Student Life PJ Alampi have entered the race.

ton, locking the customer inside the store, and then calls the police.

Luc Logan has a different tactic when checking IDs at Harry’s.

When coming upon IDs from Maryland, Logan, who served time in the military, asks for the state’s capitol of Annapolis, home of the U.S. Navy. But people often respond with Baltimore, tipping him off to the fake ID. He also asks students for their astrological sign.

“It’s not worth the risk,” Logan said.

“There are a million parties on the Hill. Just go to one of those.”

— Allie, an advertising major who declined to release her last name, said she thinks fakeID websites are sketchy and unreliable. So instead of using a website, she went to Canada.

“I felt some pressure to get a fake coming into college,” she said. “I guess I didn’t want people to have to buy alcohol for me all the time.”

The stores that make fake IDs create false advertising for novelty or souvenir IDs, which are technically legal in Canada, Allie said.

There is constantly an employee outside the store on the lookout for Toronto police.

The IDs are scanned in front of the customers to show that they work. The entire process takes 20 minutes and costs $30 U.S. dollars, Allie said.

“I will obviously never use it in Canada, but I wasn’t afraid to use it at all in the United States because no one knows what Canadian IDs look like anyway,” she said.

DPS has encountered students with international IDs, specifically fake passports. These cases are directly reported to the federal government, Thompson said.

Said Thompson: “That’s a whole different nightmare that you don’t want to get into.” mhnewman@syr.edu @MerNewman93

At the core of such a significant decision, Feitel has confidence that the Board of Trustees will appoint a chancellor of Cantor’s caliber.

“The Board is an amazing group of individuals who are passionate about SU,” Feitel said. “They’re not going to bring in somebody who will do anything less than live up to the chancellor’s achievements.” ebianchi@syr.edu @evanbianchi

“I think it’s going to be a very interesting and unique election season. We have more candidates than we have had in a number of years,” SA member Dan Hernandez said.

The general assembly passed a bill at the meeting prohibiting campaign activity within 100 feet of a polling station during the SA elections.

Polling stations are designated areas where students will be able to vote for the next SA president through MySlice. At the beginning of the meeting, Lustig asked SA members to limit debate over SA codes on the SA Facebook page. He said the primary concern should be serving students.

On top of new election regulations, minor changes to the SA constitution were proposed at the meeting. One new regulation would allow part-time students at University College to vote in SA elections.

In other business, free online access to The New York Times is now available for SU students, Lustig said. Every day, 600 students will be able to access the online version of the paper with their NetID. Students may have access for 24 hours, and after, they will have the option to renew. The 600 slots are given on a first-come, first-serve basis. More details will be released at next week’s meeting, Lustig said.

The next SA meeting will be held on Monday in Schine Underground at 7:30 p.m. aegiles@syr.edu

NASA commercializes space travel, focuses on exploration

By Andrew Feldman

STAFF WRITER

he SpaceX rocket launched a new era in space travel last week when it became the first official commercial space flight to travel to the International Space Station.

The unmanned SpaceX shuttle was launched from Cape Canaveral, Fla., carrying 1,000 pounds of cargo, including food, clothing and materials for astronauts’ experiments involving plants and microgravity, CNN reported on Oct. 8.

The capsule completed the first half of its mission when it reached the ISS. It is scheduled to return at the end of October with 2,000 pounds of cargo, including scientific experiments and failed equipment from the ISS, CNN reported.

Last week’s launch was the first official flight, but a test run without cargo was completed five months earlier to ensure the mission would be successful, CNN reported.

Achille Messac, department chair for mechanical and aerospace engineering, said in an email that commercializing space flight is a huge development for the industry.

“This is a truly exciting time for a new generation of aerospace engineers,” he said.

“Things are much more fluid in the commercial sector. Much more is possible.”

The new commercial vehicles will be cheaper, reusable and more reliable, Messac said.

There will also be a new launch escape system that will allow the crew to eject from the spacecraft all the way until orbit, he said.

Although NASA has given companies major contracts to develop commercial flight, NASA and the government will still play a significant role in space travel, Messac said.

“The thinking is that low-earth-orbit transport can generate interest in space tourism, as well as in scientific and commercial endeavors — and generate revenue to sustain it as an

industry,” Messac said. “Deep space flight, on the other hand, will still need the government to keep it going.”

The SpaceX mission was only the first of a dozen NASA-contracted missions costing a total of $1.6 billion. In addition to SpaceX, Boeing and Sierra Nevada have contracts for later missions, CNN reported.

Stefan Ballmer, assistant professor of physics, said commercializing space flights is a step in the right direction, as the aerospace industry has always been better suited to build aircrafts of this kind.

In the past, NASA’s primary role was exploration. Now that the industry has been commercialized, NASA is able to narrow its focus.

It can now prioritize exploration, as seen in its recent launch of the rover Curiosity to explore Mars, Ballmer said.

Cathryn Newton, professor and dean emerita of earth sciences, said commercializing space

flight was a logical progression.

“I think the promise of the space program from its very inception was to evolve one day into an ability for commerce to take place, as well as for exploration to take place,” she said.

Newton compared space flights to the exploration of the maritime world and the poles. She said both of these came with the hope that exploration would benefit commerce, which would in turn benefit the research and exploration that accompanies development.

It is too early to tell whether involving industry in space flight will be beneficial, she said, but NASA must have thought through potential problems and conflicts that might arise.

Said Newton: “I think it complicates things in a way that has been anticipated for NASA since its very inception, that when this would take place, its very mission would be inherently more complex.” amfeld01@syr.edu

“I’ll stay unemployed for 20 years; I will not crawl back to you,” she said.

Social media outlets such as Twitter, Facebook and Dhaif’s blog allowed her to continue covering Bahrain’s Arab Spring without the pressures of harsh government censorship.

But because of her work, Dhaif is no longer safe in Bahrain.

In an interview with The Daily Orange, Dhaif divulged the details of her struggles not only with government censorship, but also the criticism she faces as a woman in this line of work.

“The punishment is double for the lady,” Dhaif said. “You have to give double the effort. You have to be courageous to do this. You are not only

Dhaif compared being a journalist to being a prophet, because journalism is the voice of her people. She advised all aspiring journalists to believe in what they do because journalism is not about fame or money.

“Journalism is about caring not only about the people you live among,” Dhaif said. “It is also about the generation that is not born yet.

You are the eye that looks deep into society and those who possess society’s moral compass.”

Gutterman finished the evening with a question for Dhaif: What’s next?

“I choose my path,” Dhaif said. “And I will keep walking on it till the end. To the end of the case or the end of me, whichever comes first.

there were things that I wanted to do and it was probably time.”

Shaw said he has not spoken to Cantor since she made her announcement to the community and he does not plan to give her advice, due to the personal nature of the subject.

The decisions of when to retire and to announce his retirement involved long discussions with the chairman of the board, Shaw said.

Before leaving, Shaw said he did have a number of small goals. During his last two semesters, Shaw asked faculty leadership and his cabinet to advise him on what initiatives were essential to accomplish.

“The idea, although it is almost impossible to do this, was to try and leave the cleanest slate you can,” he said. “And also to not make changes during that time that would interfere with what the new chancellor would want to do.”

Although he couldn’t remember the specifics of the different initiatives, Shaw said it mostly consisted of university budget issues and other administrative obligations.

“They weren’t huge things like ‘Let’s create a new college,’” Shaw said. “They were things of relatively minor importance — things that would be good to get done so the new chancellor could concentrate on more global issues.”

After his announcement in spring of 2003, Shaw said he didn’t notice any “diminution of activity” in the University Senate or in his staff.

But, during the beginning of his last semester at SU, Shaw said he did notice that his staff was eager to accomplish his remaining goals.

By 2004’s commencement, Shaw said people slowly began to disengage, even though he was still technically chancellor. He said he found this understandable because Cantor needed

time get to know the staff.

The governing board, which consists of the Board of Trustees at SU, is the entity that has the “fiduciary responsibility for the institution,” and is in charge of finding the new chancellor, Shaw said.

A search committee is established, Shaw said, which typically consists of faculty, staff, students, trustees, alumni and the chairman of the board. Because of SU’s size, a consultant is hired to find potential candidates. The board then receives the committee’s recommendations and they move forward with the hiring process.

When stepping down as chancellor, Shaw said, there is no guarantee that the initiatives established will remain a part of SU’s tradition.

Some of Shaw’s most influential initiatives were pushing SU to emphasize research and creating the $5-million fundraising initiative to endow Remembrance Scholarships.

“Once you step down, you have to understand that no matter how good you think the things you put together were, you’re not guaranteed that they’ll stay the same,” Shaw said. “You have to accept that. If you don’t step down ever, you eventually die and it happens anyway.”

During his chancellorship, Shaw said he attempted to build a culture of mutual respect, engage people in the decision making process at SU and create a clear line of who makes decisions.

Shaw said he never had doubts about his decision to leave SU and knew that the timing was right.

“It felt good. It felt very good,” he said. “I felt I was leaving the place in good hands with the faculty and staff that were there and I felt good about what was accomplished during the time I was there.” mhnewman@syr.edu @MerNewman93

he layer of sweat glossing Kid Ink’s 100-plus tattoos only grew thicker as the night went on. It was with good reason, too, as he constantly danced back and forth on stage.

Despite what he calls a “shaky stage” in some places, Kid Ink energized Schine Underground with his dance moves on Monday night. The concert was the first of the year in

the Bandersnatch Music Series presented by University Union.

“You definitely have to find your groove,” Kid Ink said in an interview after the concert. “I had fun. Usually I just go all out. You can’t really fail performing if you just have fun more than anything.”

Skizzy Mars opened his set 10 minutes after 8 p.m. Mars, born Myles Mills, had been to Syracuse University before, but not as a performer.

“I actually applied here,” the

19-year-old rapper said in an interview before the show. “I wanted to go to Newhouse for a while.”

Instead, he went to Union College before doing music full time. The Manhattan native is also a self-professed Syracuse basketball fan.

“I’m a huge Melo and Knicks fan,” he said. “That (2003) Syracuse team was my team.”

He could’ve won over the crowd just by saying that. Instead, he let heavy beats clamoring over clever

lyrics and sing-along choruses take over his set list.

The crowd of more than 100 started head nodding and foot tapping as soon as the first song started.

He implored the crowd members to wave their arms to match the beat during some songs, while red and yellow lights added to the mellow effect of others.

His slower songs included many acoustic features and lulled the crowd, but his strong stage presence

snapped fans out of their trance. The lights were static for the first half of his set and his crowd interaction stopped at just arm waving.

Right on cue, his newly released song “Colours” fostered many different colors flashing all over the stage as a nice change of pace. He began high-fiving the front row of students and moved around the stage.

By the time he performed his most popular song, “Douchebag,” the

Travels serve as constant reminder to reinvigorate senses

ne of the best side effects of being in a new place is a hypersensitivity to all the little things that go unnoticed once you’ve been there for a long time.

Having spent three years in Syracuse, I’m head over heels for the school and the city, but when I was still there, my day-to-day observations about the world had become dulled by routine. In Turkey, however, it’s like being a child again — each of the five senses more alert than they have been in ages.

It’s easier to notice more vividly the nuances of daily life.

On my morning walks to school or my internship, I resist shoving in my ear buds so that I can better hear the “Buyruns” — how the Turkish say “Welcome” — of local shop owners, crackling laugher wafting from the outdoor tables of tea cafes or the distant, wet growl of boats gliding through the Bosphorus Strait.

I’ve never been more aware of the smell of freshly baked bread — whole loaves can be bought for the equivalent of 25 cents — or the faint, musty aroma sourced in the repetition of one ancient, wooden

There’s also how carefully I taste the jarring saltiness of Turkey’s famous yogurt drink, ayran, or the flavor of an unfamiliar spice. Even how acutely I feel the cool breeze off

the strait, the unevenness of the road under my feet and the burn in my legs from dragging my body up one of Istanbul’s million spiral staircases.

Less physically, there’s the warm surge I feel upon receiving a smile from a stranger when my garbled attempts at Turkish apparently form something that’s coherent enough to be understood.

But perhaps most striking are the minute visual wonders that grab my attention on a daily basis. Istanbul is a city of color, with swatches of brightness where you least expect them.

There’s the startling streak of orange as a stray cat lurches by, the shock of color from the curtains of clothes hanging out to dry from balconies and window sills, or the metallic gleam off the roof of a nearly-hidden hovel spotted high on some wooded ridge.

I find myself admiring not only the glitz and twinkle of the lights illuminating one of the bridges from Europe to Asia, but also the pinpricks of blue and green that dance on the Bosphorus below. I notice the fiery

talent

Ellie Goulding breaks out from behind electronic tracks to showcase her vocal chops

T

By Ibet Inyang STAFF WRITER

o be quite honest, electronic music can get a little old.

In recent years the newly popular dubstep and its heavy bass and video-game sound qualities have graced the music scene. It’s great for getting unnecessarily hyped up, but the average person just doesn’t have that much energy.

Fortunately, Ellie Goulding offers a nice alternative in her sophomore album, “Halcyon.” The British singer’s airy, delicate voice, along with beautifully composed songs, spins a new take on the genre.

The British singer was first introduced to electronic music while attending the University of Kent in the United Kingdom where she quickly found that her voice fit perfectly into energized electronic tracks. She took a break from school and signed to Polydor Records in 2009. Not long after, she released her debut album, “Lights,” which spawned a hit title track and helped launch Goulding’s career.

Over the next couple of years she became the talk of the town in London and was nominated for Best British Female and Best British Breakthrough Act at the 2011 BRIT awards. It wasn’t until “Lights” recently hit American airways and radio stations that her popularity began to grow in the States. Now, fans are asking for more.

It’s refreshing that Americans are giving Goulding a chance, because unlike many pop stars in history, she can actually sing. Her voice has a light and breathy tone that always sounds like she’s whispering sweet nothings in listeners’ ears, even through all the electro-pop madness.

In “Figure 8,” she sings about chasing after love in a wonderfully heartfelt track.

The song starts off strong and subdued as Goulding helps build up to the dubstep-filled chorus by effortlessly belting out the lyrics. Amid the organized yet chaotic sounds, listeners can still hear the controlled tone in

Goulding’s voice and raw emotion behind the lyrics, “You promised forever and a day, and then you take it all away.”

And Goulding can do just fine all by herself. On “Dead in the Water,” she proves that she doesn’t need a powerful track to carry her. Most of the song has very minimal production and builds into a beautiful orchestral backing midway through. It’s the perfect stage for Goulding to show off a sound that is gentle and precise.

Her voice is delicate and childlike as she slowly approaches each phrase, as if considering them first. Finally, hearing her murder the upper register with a plethora of falsetto runs is probably something fans could listen to every day without getting bored.

Goulding later shows even more versatility in “Only You.” The song is an up-tempo pop track with a bit of electronic accents midway through, but is largely driven by the heavy drumbeat and hand claps throughout. The song’s upbeat quality caters more to the dance pop sound, and that booming beat seems to show a hip-hop influence. The song sends out cool, soulful vibes with interesting vocal runs that sound slightly neurotic in between.

Goulding’s voice sounds smooth and expressive, but since she sings in her middle register, it doesn’t really hit the sweet spots of her voice.

Ellie Goulding is more than just an electronic singer or a featured voice on a Calvin Harris track, and “Halcyon” proves just that. Although fans may come for the catchy tunes and danceable beats, they’ll stay for her talent.

crowd got back into it. Even those who weren’t familiar with the song were singing the chorus the second time it came around.

His lyrics were crisp, even with his heavy beats. The crowd cheered at the end of each song and got more excited after the many times he implored, “Syracuse, make some f***ing noise.”

And make noise they did. By the time Mars was finished, the crowd had eclipsed 200 people and was ready for the headliner.

A 30-minute break ensued. Ten minutes before the headliner took the stage, chants of

“Kid Ink” started popping up in the crowd.

Finally Kid Ink took the stage, asking the crowd, “You all ready to turn up in here tonight?”

After a deafeningly loud first song, his disc jockey from Tha Alumni Music Group dropped the volume to make his lyrics more audible.

Many in the front row sang along to his first song, “La La La.” Between his beat-inspired dance moves and grin, the crowd could not help but smile as the rapper performed. His dance moves motivated the crowd to move as well, and he engaged the audience with ease.

But as excited as they already were, the crowd members lost it when fog from a fog machine emerged at his back. With lower

lights and rising fog, Kid Ink had the audience under his thumb.

“He was really able to connect because he went all over the stage and didn’t stand in one part,” said David Shahar, a freshman sport management major. “He was really interactive with the crowd, so he made everybody feel like they wanted to be part of the show.”

By the end, when he asked the crowd to “turn up” one last time, the audience responded. His song “I Just Want It All” brought everybody’s arms up and made the first few rows sing along.

At the end of his set, Kid Ink began signing baseball caps and other apparel passed toward the stage through the fog.

He closed by signing his own Starter snap-

back and tossing it over his head into the crowd like a wedding bouquet. Trying to snag the hat, students in the first two rows almost brought down the metal barriers and fell onto the stage.

“I sign as much as I can before they kick me off stage,” he said. “But I always make sure I have a snapback to throw out. It’s been a habit since the beginning.”

His conscious effort to connect with fans was apparent to Aleksandra Trifunovic, a sophomore undeclared major in the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications.

Said Trifunovic: “It was very f luid. It definitely touched my heart. It was the time of my life.”

One collection of color I’ve been missing, though, is that of the Syracuse fall. Every so often, tromping down the crowded sidewalks, I’ll see some burnt orange and hear the telltale crunch of autumn, but the consistent 75-degree weather keeps the treetops green. Thinking of the fall — the apples I’m not picking, the pumpkin lattes missing from every Starbucks menu — reminds me that in only a few months I’ll be back in Syracuse for the spring.

It makes me hope that even when I’m back to my old ways, I’ll still remember to keep my senses as alive as they are here, and that I’ll continue to be amazed by all the little parts of the day that make it its own.

Markus Pierce-Brewster has flashed glimpses, but failed to register a sack thus far. And four of Brandon Sharpe’s 5.5 sacks on the season came in one game. But overall the unit is doing well, and Syracuse ranks in the Top 50 in the country against the run.

Linebackers Siriki Diabate, Dyshawn Davis and Marquis Spruill have combined to form a reliable unit in the middle of the SU defense.

The linebackers have played a large role in containing opposing running backs and adding pressure to the quarterbacks along with the Orange’s stout defensive line.

Diabate has made the seamDIABATE less transition into a starting middle linebacker spot this year, pacing SU with 44 tackles, and serving as a leader and voice in the unit. His 13 tackles against Rutgers were a team- and season-high.

Even after implementing the “tank” package, which puts Lewellyn Coker at fullback and Adonis Ameen-Moore at running back, this is still one of SU’s biggest weaknesses. Time after time, Syracuse leaves points on the board because of its inability to score from the red zone. For a struggling team, that ineffectiveness has been costly.

Biggest surprise: Defensive ends This position was a question mark entering the season. Syracuse had to replace two starters in Mikhail Marinovich and NFL first-round pick Chandler Jones. But this group, led by Brandon Sharpe and JUCO transfer Markus Pierce-Brewster, has arguably been better. The SU defensive line has been one of the team’s few bright spots, and the emergence of Sharpe and Pierce-Brewster as capable playmakers is a big reason why.

Both have displayed the ability to collapse the pocket and make stops against the run,

Two of those players — goalkeeper Alex Bono and midfielder Stefanos Stamoulacatos — start for Syracuse this season. Backup goalkeeper Andrew Coughlin has also seen playing time at SU Soccer Stadium, and fellow Baldwinsville native Ben Ramin has become a much-used reserve.

Cristos Stamoulacatos, Stefanos’ father, routinely brings more than 100 family members, friends and neighbors to home games. And the infusion of local players like Stamoulacatos has led more families and community members to support McIntyre’s team than they did during previous SU head coach Dean Foti’s tenure.

back to Nassib, who has struggled, throwing just two touchdowns compared to five interceptions during the stretch. For Syracuse to win games in the second half, Nassib will need to find the rhythm he had early in the season.

Wide receiver This would be a situation where giving a separate grade for Marcus Sales seems more fair than grading this unit collectively. Through six games, Sales has hauled in 37 passes for 545 yards and five touchdowns. That’s four more touchdowns than teammates Alec Lemon and Jarrod West combined, and 45 percent of SALES the team’s receiving touchdowns in total. But while Sales has thrived, the rest of the bunch effuses mediocrity. Lemon has yet to score in 2012, and West has one touchdown. Sophomore Jeremiah Kobena showed promise with two trips to the end zone against Northwestern, but he injured his hand and missed the last four games following surgery.

Overall, this bunch needs someone else to step up and take pressure off Sales.

Secondary The Orange’s secondary has had an up-anddown season. The group has had games where it’s played well but the athleticism of the opposing wide receivers was simply too much to handle, especially against Robert Woods and

helping hold dynamic Big East tailbacks Ray Graham and Jawan Jamison in check. And Sharpe showed he can dominate a game in the Orange’s 14-13 win over Pittsburgh, racking up four sacks and six tackles for loss.

Biggest problem: Special teams This one isn’t even close. Ross Krautman seems to be a liability from anything beyond 40 yards this season — 37 is his longest in 2012 — which puts a heavy burden on quarterback Ryan Nassib and the offense to move the ball deep into an opponent’s territory if they have any hope of putting points on the board. Similarly, the Orange has zero threats in the kick-return and punt-return game, ensuring mediocre field position barring a strong defensive stand or a turnover. Imagine what Nassib and offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett could do if they faced short fields once in a while. Having to go 65-plus yards following nearly every kickoff or punt for a touchdown is a lot to ask. In 2012, SU’s specialists are anything but.

Best game: Southern California Yes, Syracuse lost to the Trojans, but there is

tos Stamoulacatos said. “He would look for players from other areas and not at the ones that were closest to him. McIntyre knows that when you bring in players from around your program, your program gets noticed more in the community.”

And no one enjoys the new and reenergized fan base more than McInytre. When he was hired three seasons ago, he promised his work would be reflected in Syracuse’s record, but also in the team’s following.

After winning five games over his first two years, McIntyre is following through on that promise. And as all 1,652 fans filed out of SU Soccer Stadium after its 2-1 loss to Louisville, the head coach made sure his players left the field early to personally thank their new supporters.

his personal performance. The special teams issues, steady stream of turnovers, and inconsistent offense and play-calling have all been concerns through six games. They’ll all need to improve if Syracuse wants to finish out the season strong against a tough slate.

Running back All through training camp, Doug Marrone said none of the tailbacks separated themselves from the rest of the group. Six games into the season, it’s easy to see why. The Orange is seventh in the Big East in rushing yardage, averaging only 3.6 yards per carry. Jerome Smith and Prince-Tyson Gulley have gotten the major-

really no other choice here. Against the No. 2 team in the country in what was essentially a road game — more red than orange in MetLife Stadium that day — the Orange hung tough and were within five of USC in the fourth quarter. The Syracuse defense frustrated Matt Barkley, while Ryan Nassib continuously moved the ball downfield and scored 28 points in the second half. It could have been a landmark victory for the Orange, but instead it was only a moral victory. And the team has never looked as crisp again.

Worst game: Rutgers Syracuse’s most recent loss was the toughest to swallow. The Orange held Jawan Jamison, the conference’s leading rusher, to a measly 64 yards on 28 carries. Rutgers quarterback Gary Nova only threw for 157 yards. But four turnovers and a blocked kick derailed any chance for an SU upset on the road. The same problem areas head coach Doug Marrone has pinpointed all season haunted the Orange again, resulting in the team’s fourth loss of the season.

ity of carries, though of the two, only Gulley has scored a touchdown. Ashton Broyld, who was expected to be a dynamic back, has gotten only 20 carries for 96 yards and hasn’t played in three weeks. Overall, the Orange’s tailbacks have been largely a

SMITH disappointment.

Special teams This one is particularly embarrassing because Doug Marrone took over as special teams coach for the 2012 season. Kicker Ross Krautman, an AllAmerican two seasons ago, is a pitiful four-of-nine on field goals with one attempt blocked and returned 75 yards for a touchdown. Punt returner Steve Rene’s longest KRAUTMAN run back of the season is 5 yards, and he continues to make foolish decisions week after week that almost always result in verbal lashings from Marrone. He also cost SU seven points with his fumble against Rutgers on Saturday. Overall, the Orange ranks 117th out of 120 Football Bowl Subdivision teams in punt return average with a ghastly 1.62 yards per kick. And kick returns have been nearly as bad, with Syracuse ranking 96th in the country.

What happened to … Ashton Broyld The freshman threat was supposed to add a new element to Syracuse’s offense, but he hasn’t played in the last two games. The Orange coaching staff said it would ease Broyld into his new role so he wasn’t thrown too much at once. There was hype about the possibility of packages utilizing his athleticism and speed, but that hasn’t happened. For an offense that’s been looking for the big play, Broyld’s role for the future is still undefined.

Offensive turnovers continue; defense looks for big plays

By Chris Iseman ASST. SPORTS EDITOR

Two days after his team’s sloppy, turnoverfilled loss, Doug Marrone’s frustration is still high. That’s not likely to change until Syracuse starts to protect the football and reverse its propensity to toss away opportunities.

The Orange committed four costly turnovers Saturday in its 23-15 loss to No. 19 Rutgers. Syracuse had a shot at winning thanks to a strong defensive effort, the Orange’s offense surrendered its chances. Marrone made it clear after the game he wasn’t happy and then repeated that message on Monday during the Big East coaches’ teleconference.

“It’s what’s hurting this team. It doesn’t give you a chance,” Marrone said during the teleconference. “We’ve got to have a heightened intensity or whatever the words to make sure we protect that football.”

The SU head coach said turnovers have been a problem since he arrived four years ago. Marrone said in his 24 losses, the Orange’s turnover margin is minus-30. In his 19 wins, it’s plus-12.

That stat alone proves how much turnovers have hurt the team.

“I don’t think it’s rocket science,” Marrone said.

One way to respond to turnovers is for the SU defense and special teams to force some on Syracuse’s opponents. Marrone said all three phases have to contribute in correcting the turnover discrepancy.

The Orange is tied for 101st in the country in turnovers lost with 15, and tied for 115th in turnover margin at minus-1.67. Whether they’re interceptions thrown right in the hands of defenders, blocked field goals or fumbles, Syracuse’s offense is struggling mightily.

It hasn’t helped matters that quarterback

Ryan Nassib has thrown eight interceptions in his third season as a starter. He threw nine interceptions all of last season, and eight the year before.

Still, Marrone said the team’s problem doesn’t fall on one player, but on all of them because it’s a team category. If Syracuse can become more adept at protecting the football, the wins should follow.

“I think when we can correct that, I think we’ll win a whole lot more than we’ll lose,” Marrone said. “And I believe that with my heart.”

Defensive domination If there’s been a bright spot for SU through six games, it’s that the team’s defense has stopped some of the country’s best running backs.

That continued Saturday when the Orange’s defense held the Big East’s leading rusher, Jawan Jamison, to just 64 yards on 28 carries.

“Our kids have been playing hard. I think that’s, for me, it’s always been the makeup of this program,” Marrone said. “Our kids go out there and play hard no matter what adversity they’re facing, whether it’s our record or turnovers, or whether it’s adversity that strikes during the course of the game.”

Syracuse struggled with its tackling in the early part of the season as opposing backs repeatedly broke free to gain extra yardage.

Correcting that has been a weekly focus and now the results are becoming clear.

Even though the Orange’s defense has smothered opponents, Marrone said there’s still work to be done on that side of the ball.

Not surprisingly, it all centers on turnovers.

“Now we’re tackling better,” Marrone said.

“And we’ve got to continue to work to get turnovers on that side of the ball.”

Halfway home, SU stands at 2-4, looks for happier ending SUPERLATIVES Offensive MVP: Marcus Sales

Without Marcus Sales, Syracuse’s offense would be struggling far more than it already is. The unit’s been inconsistent as a whole, but Sales has been a steady receiver. Despite a couple dropped passes, he went right back into his role of being Ryan Nassib’s primary target, just as he was at the end of 2010. Teams have started to take him out of the game by double-teaming him, and that’s limited his receptions. Still, when he’s able to, the connection of Sales and Nassib is arguably the team’s most effective way to march down the field. On one drive against Rutgers, Sales picked up 77 of his 100 total yards on the day. He’s been the primary reason SU’s offense has been able to recover from its inconsistency.

Defensive MVP: Shamarko Thomas andrew renneisen | staff photographer PRINCE-TYSON GULLEY and the rest of the Syracuse rushing attack has had trouble finding any consistent rhythm. The problems in the running game have contributed to an Orange offense that has struggled to maintain its early-season production.

Coaching

The defensive line posted another strong performance in Saturday’s loss to Rutgers, as Jay Bromley and Deon Goggins anchored the middle with nine tackles and 11 tackles, respectively, to help limit the Scarlet Knights to 85 yards on the ground.

Aside from those two BROMLEY anchors in the middle, who were expected to lead the unit coming into the season, the defensive end spot has been inconsistent.

Ryan Nassib came out firing this season, setting program records in completions, attempts and yards in a thrilling opener against Northwestern. The Orange revealed a no-huddle, spread offense and scored 41 points as Nassib threw for 482 yards, four touchdowns and 45 completions. He remained among the nation’s leaders NASSIB in passing and threw for nine touchdowns compared to three interceptions through three games. But the high-scoring attack disappeared

Doug Marrone has spent the entire first half of the season painfully admitting he needs to do a better job leading the program. He’s said SU hasn’t won enough games during his four years at the helm and that his team hasn’t been prepared well enough. Marrone knows each loss reflects on him and a disappointing MARRONE start to this season has been frustrating for him. Still, the mistakes he aims to fix each week continue to happen, and he hasn’t been pleased with

Let’s face it, without Shamarko Thomas the Syracuse secondary is atrocious. Keon Lyn and Ri’Shard Anderson have appeared lost in coverage all year, especially Anderson, who was burned for three touchdowns against Southern California alone. But Thomas gives the secondary credibility. He is the heart and soul of the unit, whose fullthrottle mentality and vicious hits make him an imposing figure out on the field. Thomas has 24 tackles, including three tackles for loss and a crucial strip sack against Northwestern. He also picked off Matt Barkley in the second half of the game against USC to give the Orange a chance. Without Thomas, this secondary is pedestrian at best.

Biggest disappointment: Syracuse’s red-zone offense Syracuse has been in the red zone 24 times, but has only scored 13 touchdowns in those opportunities. The Orange’s goalline offense has been especially abysmal.

SU’s turnaround attracts record attendances to home games

By Nick Toney STAFF WRITER

Ian McIntyre stood with his back to the field, looking up at the bleachers with his hands on his hips. The season hadn’t even started yet, but the head coach was already dreaming about the future followers of SU soccer.

“If we get a few fans in the stands,” said McIntyre, pointing from left to

right at the seats in front of him, “this place could be rocking.”

Syracuse set its first of many attendance records later that night with 1,581 fans on hand to watch the Orange beat Albany in its season opener. But what initially looked like a one-game aberration has become normal at SU Soccer Stadium.

McIntyre’s vision came true faster

than he or anyone else expected. The fans have been supportive the entire season. Some of the record-breaking 1,652 fans at the Syracuse-Louisville game on Oct. 6 had to stand at the very top of the bleachers, unable to see over the crowd. Others snuck their way into the out-of-bounds territory behind both goals to get enough elbow room to cheer.

Team captain Ted Cribley knows Syracuse’s win-loss record accounts for most of the increased interest.

With a home record of 4-2 and an overall record of 10-4, Cribley said he and his teammates are simply playing better soccer.

But Cribley also admitted he never anticipated fans would appreciate the turnaround and come to as many

home games as they have in 2012.

“I think we’ve really entertained the crowd more,” said Cribley. “We’ve played much better and (we’ve) really enjoyed (the turnout).”

Winning helps, but it isn’t the only reason why SU is setting new attendance highs this year. McIntyre’s most recent recruiting class features
