Sixth dean installed in ceremony By Colleen Bidwill ASST. COPY EDITOR

robert storm | staff photographer TIFFANY STEINWERT (LEFT) accepts her charge as the sixth dean of Hendricks Chapel from Chancellor Nancy Cantor during the official installation ceremony Monday afternoon. Steinwert officially began her job in March and is the first female dean in Hendricks’ 80-year history.

The Rev. Tiffany Steinwert asked the audience to examine the inside of the chapel during her speech officially accepting her role as the sixth dean of Hendricks Chapel. “Look around,” she said. “Go ahead. I really mean it. Drink in the space and the time-worn pews. Imagine for a moment the thousands upon thousands, generation after generation that have come here, each seeking peace.” After beginning her tenure in March, Steinwert was officially installed as the sixth and first female dean of Hendricks in a ceremony Monday afternoon. Through prayers, songs and speeches, members of the Syracuse University community gave their support to the new dean of the 80-year-old chapel. Steinwert was drawn to Hendricks

Inn Complete brings back focus on grads Panel to examine environmental, By Heather Wentz STAFF WRITER

Talking and laughing above the chorus of “Fat Bottomed Girls” by Queen, Gokhan Savas, a Syracuse University graduate student, and his two friends were upstairs having a beer and playing pingpong during a recent Monday night, waiting for dinner at their favorite place on campus, The Inn Complete. Downstairs, there was a chatty group of girls eating. At the table next to them was a family of three fi nishing up their meal. The clientele at The Inn Complete has expanded in recent years to include undergraduate students. But the management at the bar and restaurant has been brainstorm-

ing ways to bring the focus back to graduate students with events like speed dating in November, aimed only at graduate students. The Inn Complete was fi rst conceived as a graduate student hangout, said Monica King, the manager. It opened in 1987 in the basement of the South Campus Sky Barn in response to years of graduate student complaints about the lack of a place to hang out, King said. “After some planning, there was a huge pull from the (Graduate Student Organization), who decided they wanted to put some of their student fees to use,” King said. When The Inn Complete fi rst opened, it was open only to graduate students, and an ID was required for

entry. In addition, if people brought guests, they had to pay a fee. In 2002, SU Food Services combined with GSO to co-run The Inn Complete, and it gradually became open to all students, King said. “Before then, even grad students didn’t know about the place,” King said. “It was almost like a club for the cool crowd.” The Inn Complete does not advertise, so knowledge of it is spread completely by word of mouth, and many students who live on South Campus do not even know it exists, King said. She said that makes The Inn Complete special for those who do know about it, especially those who come for Trivia Night every SEE INN COMPLETE PAGE 6

political effects of Gulf oil spill By Audrie Tan

CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Despite the oil well being officially declared dead more than a month and a half ago, the effects of the British Petroleum oil spill will be addressed during a panel discussion Tuesday. The panel discussion, “Blowout: What: What the Gulf of Mexico Oil What the Gulf Spill Means for You of Mexico Oil and the Future of Spill Means American Energy for You and Where: Hendricks the Future Chapel When: Today, 7:30 of American Energy,” is p.m. How much: Free organized by

University Lectures and will be held at 7:30 p.m. in Hendricks Chapel. It is free and open to the public. The panel will explain how the environmental, political and social impacts of the spill are far from over. BP’s Deepwater Horizon oil well exploded April 20, leading to the largest oil spill in history. The spill officially ended 152 days later after nearly five million barrels of oil had gushed in the Gulf of Mexico when the federal government declared the oil well dead. The presentation will take the form of a conversation, with much of the dialogue driven by questions from

DPS officer discusses Halloween, public safety By Annie Knox Staff Writer

As part of a larger effort to increase communication between the Department of Public Safety and Student Association, representatives from DPS spoke at Monday night’s meeting about precautions to take during Halloween, as well as the new emergency and safety services it offers. DPS Cpl. Joe Shanley encouraged students to be cautious at parties this weekend and warned them to

stay away from offensive costumes. Shanley’s warning echoes the university’s request for students to avoid potentially offensive costumes during Halloween weekend to limit bias incidents. SA president Jon Barnhart also urged students keep in mind the e-mail sent out by Thomas Wolfe, senior vice president and dean of student affairs for the university, which urged students to be cautious in choosing Halloween costumes.

“Really think about what your costume says about yourself,” Barnhart said. Shanley also said Halloween weekend makes it especially easy for community members and nonstudents to disguise themselves and sneak into parties. “Do your best to know who you’re with,” he said. “Because each year it seems like we get a cast of characters who try to mask their identities, and it’s kind of hard to pinpoint them.”

Shanley said traveling in groups is one of the most effective precautions for students to take this weekend. “All the incidents we’ve had of robberies, people getting accosted, the victim is alone,” he said. He said students should call DPS if they see anything suspicious from partygoers. “We don’t want anybody to be afraid to call us,” he said. Shanley and Jennifer Horvath, the see sa page 8

Partnership aims to advance biodiesel fuel in US military By Dara McBride Asst. News Editor

Making biodiesel fuel could be as easy as printing photos at a drug store. That’s the comparison Gina LeeGlauser, associate vice president for research at Syracuse University, hopes will be a reality through the partnership between entrepreneurs Wayne Arden and SU alumnus John Fox. The two are working to advance biodiesel as an alternative energy source for U.S. armed forces.

“If we challenge ourselves, we will come up with the right solution,” Lee-Glauser said. SU announced the partnership Oct. 18, and since then, the university and those behind a report about the benefits of biodiesel have been working to gain funding and raise awareness of the project. Undergraduate and graduate students have been given an opportunity to work on the project alongside faculty. Fox is a 1992 graduate of the College of Arts and Sciences. He now

runs Fox Enterprises, a company that involves itself with building economically, environmentally and socially sustainable enterprises. The Arden-Fox report, “Producing and Using Biodiesel in Afghanistan,” was released in June and analyzed alternative energy sources that could reduce U.S. war casualties and create business in Afghanistan. The Department of Defense is trying to achieve net zero energy or significantly reduce the military’s dependence on fossil fuel resources.

Work on the biodiesel report began after President Barack Obama’s Dec. 1 announcement to send 30,000 additional troops into Afghanistan, according to the report’s website. The troops will need more fuel convoys, which would increase casualties and expenses as they make themselves vulnerable to attack while transporting fuel. But manufacturing biodiesel in Afghanistan, a landlocked country that requires shipments, could end these risks. see biodiesel page 8

Post-PostSecret: Resources for support available to SU community On behalf of the directors and general members of University Union, I would like to express what an honor it was to be involved with last week’s event featuring author and blogger Frank Warren of PostSecret. Foremost in our thoughts is the courageous individuals who openly expressed their personal stories dealing with such topics as sex, suicide, self-identity, and the loss of friends and family. Sharing intimate narratives in such a public manner was not merely brave, it had a lasting impact on each of the 1,500 attendees with whom these experiences were so graciously shared. We should also be proud of the entire audience and the support it offered. As busy college students, it is all too easy for us to become wrapped up in our own lives, failing to perceive the problems of others. However, the overwhelming support shown by those in attendance at the PostSecret event reminds us that being Orange means more than just rooting for an athletic team. It means being a part of a community in which we care for one another, where everyone is welcome and where no one’s suffering should go unnoticed.

let ter to the editor In light of some of the issues raised and emotions stirred at the PostSecret event, I would like to remind the Syracuse University community that resources are available for your support. The following is just a brief list of the many avenues through which individuals may seek information and counseling: - Those experiencing emotional, personal or mental health difficulties are encouraged to seek help at the SU Counseling Center, which is located at 200 Walnut Place and can be reached at 315-443-4715. The Counseling Center is available 24/7 for confidential support and emergency counseling, at no charge to SU and State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry students. More information can be found at counselingcenter. syr.edu. - Anyone who is a victim of sexual assault can seek confidential support through the university’s R.A.P.E. Center, which is located

at 111 Waverly Ave. and can be reached 24/7 at 315-443-7273. Advocates can inform you of medical and legal options and, if you wish, can accompany you to receive further attention and care. If you have been sexually assaulted and you do not feel safe, or if you have a serious injury, call the Department of Public Safety at 315-443-2224 or at 711 from campus phones, dial #SU from a cell phone, or call the police at 911. More information can be found at students.syr. edu/rapecenter. - In addition, there are several outlets for individuals seeking counseling and support, based on their own beliefs, identities or cultural connections. Those seeking religious guidance can find resources through the diverse array of student groups and clergy members at Hendricks Chapel, which can be reached by phone at 315-443-2901 or online at hendricks. syr.edu. The LGBT Resource Center provides a safe and welcoming environment for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, questioning and straight-allied members of the SU community, and is located at 750 Ostrom Ave. or on the Web at lgbt.syr.edu. Also, a variety of resources are

available to SU students from around the world at the Center for International Services, which is located at 310 Walnut Place or online at international.syr.edu. Finally, one of the most powerful sources of comfort, support and guidance in the SU community is, quite simply, each other. If you feel depressed or lonely, or if you just have a secret, you are not alone. Your friends and fellow students are always available to listen and to provide a helping hand. No matter how isolated you may feel, you can always reach out to another student or a trusted faculty member. At the same time, those among us who do not experience depression or thoughts of suicide should always be receptive and understanding of those who do. In the days and weeks following the PostSecret event, let each and every one of us endeavor to sustain the supportive environment felt that evening. Let us not so much seek just to be consoled, but to console; to be understood, as well as to understand; to be loved, and to love each other.

‘Rolling In’ article, subsequent letter flawed The article “Rolling in” and the subsequent letter to the editor regarding it still have some fundamental factual flaws and omissions. Unlike what Sasha Almasian said, ecstasy is an amphetamine. Indeed, MDMA stands for Methylenedioxymethamphetamine. It is the “methylenedioxy” part of the molecule that gives it its serotonin-releasing effects and, therefore, the sense of intimacy and mood-elating properties of the user. Without the “MD” part, MDMA is no different from the potent stimulant methamphetamine. The article (and the letter to the editor) fails to mention that MDMA also releases large quantities of the neurotransmitters dopamine and norepinephrine, much like how methamphetamine does. The release of dopamine in the reward centers of the brain induces the euphoric effects of MDMA and also contributes to the development of addiction. The release of norepinephrine is mostly responsible for the stimulating properties of the drug.

let ter to the editor “Rolling In” fails to elaborate on the current debate between the short- and long-term damage MDMA may cause in human brains and merely glosses over perhaps the most pertinent information regarding Molly. There are plenty of studies available on the Web with a quick Google search that could confirm depression, malaise and dysphoria as short-term aftereffects in the days following a dose of Molly. This is due to the depleted stores of serotonin in the brain. Longer-term effects, such as neurotoxicity to serotonin-producing nerve cells, have been observed but, like Dr. Tibor Palfai said, are not entirely conclusive. It would have been nice if the article mentioned explicitly the studies and effects to which Palfai was referring. After all, the purpose of a newspaper is to inform. Instead, this article merely

demonstrates the sensationalism surrounding this drug and perhaps perpetuates factually incorrect information. For example, MDMA does not itself cause dehydration, as the article states. Rather, the prolonged dancing and raving associated with its use, combined with users not re-hydrating themselves, serve as the primary causes of this condition. And finally, I’m not sure how one student’s opinion of ecstasy constitutes the claim that “students who take MDMA perceive the drug as benign in comparison to other drugs, such as cocaine or a hallucinogen.” The bias in this column is deplorable. With just 10 minutes of research on the Web, this could have been an excellent article discussing a trending party drug. Rather, it falls very short of the mark you would expect coming from a respected publication and a respected journalism school.

Growth of domestic energy policies only way to achieve energy security

ne of the single greatest threats to American national security, as well as economic security, is our unsustainable and overreaching demand for energy. Currently, we use dirty fuels that have barely a few decades of efficient supply left. At the same time, we remain dangerously beholden to foreign countries to supply our energy, and we are often overreaching with our military to protect strategic resources like oil. The only way to ensure true energy security is to have 100 percent of American energy domestically produced and environmentally conscious. The problem is how to get to the point of energy independence and full sustainability. First, most electricity in the United States is coal-generated, which is a dirty practice that not only contributes to atmospheric warming, but also destroys the geography of areas with coal deposits by strip mining or mountaintop removal — meth-

ods that devastate local ecology. The only true replacement for coal-generated electricity is nuclear power, which usually makes environmentalists cringe. Well, the days of Three Mile Island and unsafe waste storage are nearly gone, and in their wake, a new generation of nuclear power facilities that are very secure and can generate massive amounts of continuous power with little environmental damage. Nuclear power is the only renewable option as a base load generator for our electrical needs. The problem is cost, a problem that could be offset by government grants available conditionally based on the use of the newest and safest methods of nuclear generation, as well as the safe disposal of nuclear waste. Now what about wind or solar energy? Can’t they replace coal, and aren’t they cheaper than nuclear power? Actually, not really. The problem with wind and solar generation is at the most basic level possible: The

give green a chance wind doesn’t always blow, and the sun doesn’t always shine. This means they are good supplements to a base load generator like nuclear power but can never adequately be stable base loads themselves. So how does one fundamentally alter the energy portfolio of the entire country? The answer lies in aggressive public policy with incentives for renewable energy and strong disincentives for non-renewables. In 2009, President Barack Obama signed into law the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, deemed as a “stimulus” by pundits. Although

this columnist feels it wasn’t as immediate an investment that was needed to lift the country out of a recession, it contained a number of useful programs dealing with our energy issues. Specifically, the Section 1603 cash grant is credited with the creation of 40,000 renewable energy jobs. The way this particular incentive functions is it offers the option of a cash grant instead of the already established tax credit for renewable energy companies, based on their renewable energy output. When the financial crisis hit, those tax credits were very ineffectual incentives, because renewable energy companies needed capital more than they needed tax relief. So the Section 1603 cash grant offers them the needed capital to continue growing their business and hiring workers. “The program is a more efficient use of taxpayer money because 100 percent of the incentive goes to the company making the investment

and creating the jobs. Taxpayers get more jobs and clean energy per dollar spent.” So says the American Wind Energy Association, which represents nearly 100,000 workers in the wind energy field, a group that has not minced words about the efficacy of the Section 1603 grant. Next month, the Section 1603 cash grant of the stimulus bill will go up for reconsideration in Congress, and it certainly deserves full renewal to help stimulate greater investment in renewable energy technology. The beauty of the grant is that it costs the government no more money than did the tax credit, so it is a regulatory change that doesn’t short-change anyone. We need more innovative programs that provide incentives to the growth of a domestic green economy, one that will truly guarantee energy security — no war required.

Steinwert took the chaplains on a retreat in May, where Steinwert encouraged them to talk about their life experiences and their goals for Hendricks. The chaplains enjoyed the experience so much they decided to go on another one this fall, Shoultz said. “The dean has brought new leadership and promoted collaborative action,” she said. Steinwert exemplifies the attitude of the chapel and will continue to foster the chapel’s accepting atmosphere, said Sierra Fox, president of Hendricks Chapel Choir.

Savas, the graduate student who was playing pingpong, is in his fourth year of working on his doctorate in sociology. He discovered The Inn Complete after a kickoff barbeque was held there a few years ago. Since then, he said he and his friends have been coming about once a week to play pingpong, have a beer and eat. Savas said he has noticed a change in the demographic of people who come to The Inn Complete since he first started coming four years ago. He said it has gone from mostly graduate students and people over 21 years old

been coming regularly once or twice a week. “It costs exactly the same as other places on campus, and you get a better atmosphere,” Izzo said. “There’s TV, pool, pingpong and good food.” Izzo said he does not feel he is intruding on graduate students’ space. “We come here so often that when we come up and there’s other people here, we feel like they’re the ones intruding,” he said. Because of the gradual change in the people who come to The Inn Complete, King said the

many ways Hendricks influences the campus, even if it is simply a place where students can grab coffee or sit on the steps. Cantor said Hendricks is a good match for the new dean. Steinwert was selected out of 70 applicants last December. Steinwert has previously taught at Boston University and founded Cambridge Welcoming Ministries, which is dedicated to including the LGBT community in The United Methodist Church. Richard Phillips, Hendricks dean emeritus who has been retired for 11 years, presented Steinwert with a bowl to represent unity as part of the commemorative gift presentation. “Let this bowl communicate to those who enter that this is a place for all people,” he said. Taysha Watson, a singer for The Black Celestial Choral Ensemble who performed at the service, said it is important the university chose a female dean to lead Hendricks for the first time. “Now many women are coming into powerful positions, and it started with our chancellor,” said Watson, a freshman in the College of Arts and Sciences. Watson said she hopes Steinwert will continue Hendricks’ ideals of inclusiveness and use the chapel as a place for people to gather openly. Steinwert said the ceremony was not about

installing her as dean, but rather continuing Hendricks’ traditions and values. “We are journeying together,” Steinwert said, “and making way for next generation.”

managers have been trying to hold events that are for graduate students only, so after 8 p.m. they can still have the bar-like atmosphere free of undergraduate students. The management hopes events like Trivia Thursdays and live entertainment will be effective in bringing graduate students together, King said. Most recently, The Inn Complete has been planning a speed-dating night for graduate students only, which will be held in the beginning of November. “We just want to put it out to grad students and see where it goes from there,” King said. “It was suggested by grad students as a means of meeting other grad students.” King and the GSO Executive Board plan to have 15 men and 15 women at the event. The women will sit, and the men will rotate every seven minutes. The Inn Complete will charge $3 to $5 to cover the cost of the event, and King said the management plans on having raffles throughout the night, as well as music entertainment. King said if speed dating receives a strong response, it may become a regular event. Luke Murphy, a fourth-year graduate student at SU, goes to The Inn Complete specifically for Trivia Thursdays and said he might be interested in speed dating if he received more information. When asked why he chooses The Inn Complete over other on-campus restaurants, Murphy said, “They have decent food for the price,

the beer is cheap and you get a discount on Thursdays, so why not?”

tudents’ drinking habits more than double when they go abroad. A study done by the University of Washington, published in the journal of Psychology of Addictive Behaviors, found that drinking among college students increases significantly while they study abroad, but then returns to previous levels when they come back to the United States.

students while at home, but once they went abroad, they increased their drinking habits by 170 percent, according to the study. The changed habits could be because of the different culture. In many European countries, mealtime includes a glass of wine or a beer, which could easily amount to eight drinks in a week, plus whatever is consumed outside of that, according to the study. Hillary Bell, a senior finance and marketing major, studied abroad in Madrid in spring 2010. The drinking age in Madrid is 18, and Bell said this was not the only difference between American and Spanish drinking habits. “They do not drink to get drunk, they drink over a meal or at parties with friends,” Bell said. Bell saw students drinking more than at home simply because they were abroad, she said. Not once did Bell see a Spaniard visibly intoxicated, whereas her friends and colleagues from America “enjoyed the ability to drink legally by drinking frequently and in large amounts,” Bell said. This lower age can lead to students drinking more than they normally would, simply because it is legal. In most countries, the drinking age is much lower than the U.S. drinking age of 21. Zach Jacobs, a junior architecture major studying abroad in Florence, said experiencing an environment with a drinking age of 18 has made him drink a little more, now that he can do it legally and in public. “Abroad, I drink a little bit more because the workload is less and I can get into bars here,” Jacobs said. The SU Abroad office does not prohibit students of legal age from drinking but encourages students to drink responsibly, said Carrie Abbott, associate director of the SU Abroad program. Students must adhere to the SU Student Code of Conduct.

“We encourage students to do this responsibly,” Abbott said. She said most students are of age to drink for the first time while abroad. Like at SU, she said there will always be the students who choose to drink and those who do not. But drinking while abroad could present greater risks, and Abbot said SU Abroad encouraged students to put their health and safety first. The study did not go into details about dangerous drinking habits, such as binge drinking, but did report excessive drinking could have negative consequences, such as legal trouble. “Students put themselves at higher risk to have a crime committed against them or to have a medical emergency when alcohol is involved,” Abbott said. “This is, of course, the case in the United States, but these risks can be greater in a foreign country.” rmstraet@syr.edu

DPS recently decided to extend its shuttle services from 3 a.m. to 6 a.m. to respond to the flood of calls it receives after 3 a.m., especially on the weekends after the bars close. During the extended hours, a van will pick up students directly. When it comes to escort and shuttle services, Shanley and Horvath encouraged students

to call whenever they might need to but to also keep in mind that students in more dangerous areas will get picked up first. Other business included: -DPS will hold its Student Advisory Council meeting on Nov. 6 at 6 p.m. to answer students’ questions and gauge feedback about its services. -Bike registration forms were recently made available on the DPS website. This semester, DPS has dealt with the highest number of stolen bikes ever, Shanley said. Registering the bikes makes them easier to track down, he said. - Students can text message DPS’ emergency line at 711@syr.edu, in addition to calling 711. abknox@syr.edu

biodiesel from page 3

Jake Turetsky, a 2010 Master of Public Administration candidate, had been working for Fox Enterprises and became involved in the project in January. He helped research the paper by looking into army policy and facts, such as how much diesel fuel is currently used in Afghanistan. Using biodiesel fuel is a good idea for the military as it will save lives, reduce costs and build industry, Turetsky said. He said he and other members of the project took a trip to Washington, D.C., last week to promote the research to groups, including the CIA and the Department of Defense. He said the group hopes to have the process approved by the end of the year. But gaining funding and approval is a slow process. Involving SU has been helpful because it has brought resources from schools like the Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs and from campus outlets like the Syracuse Center of Excellence, Turetsky said. He said he hopes people will come to recognize the environmental and economic benefits of switching to biodiesel. But finding a crop to make biodiesel from will not be an easy task, Lee-Glauser said. Especially because the group would like to have a biodiesel source that is popular and easily ready to manufacture within two years. Faculty at SU and the State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry and people at the Syracuse Center of Excellence will be working on the project, she said. Students have been involved in planning and discussing new research ideas, Lee-Glauser said. Students have started a discussion about how to best harvest the safflower crop — a

potential component of biodiesel fuel — without the risk of draining the nutrients from the ground if not rotated. SU will be looking into using resources, such as fast-growing willow or safflower plants, she said, instead of corn. Lee-Glauser said she personally did not like the idea of taking away a food source to use for fuel. “One alternative fuel is not enough. We need multiple alternative energy fuels for the U.S.,” Lee-Glauser said. She said wind turbines were also a good alternative energy source, but were not enough. The group will be testing the viability of biodiesel sources by growing them in the northern United States, which has temperatures similar to Afghanistan, Lee-Glauser said. SU will be speaking with members of the Oneida Indian Nation next week on possibly using its land. But biodiesel needs to be both popular and affordable, Lee-Glauser said. If the technology is ready before the population is, she said people would not easily adapt. “We have to think critically about all the sources of fuel we use,” Lee-Glauser said, “and how we use them.” dkmcbrid@syr.edu

Biodiesel in Afghanistan SU recently began a partnership with entrepreneurs Wayne Arden and SU alumnus John Fox on the production of renewable fuels in Afghanistan. SU is currently looking into funding for the project. Arden-Fox’s report “Producing and Using Biodiesel in Afghanistan” included five benefits of producing and using biodiesel in Afghanistan. • Reduce casualties: Having a fuel source in Afghanistan would decrease the number of fuel supply shipments needed and convoys being attacked. One medium-sized biodiesel plant could reduce casualties by four or five soldiers per year. • Free up troops for other assignments: The reduced need for convoys would free up an estimated 120 soldiers. • Save money: Producing biodiesel locally rather than importing petroleum could cut costs, potentially saving the military $3.7 billion annually. The second year of plant operation could save $90 million, and fuel would cost $33.50 per gallon. • Challenge the opium trade: Having a biodiesel plant in Afghanistan could potentially attract opium farmers to grow safflower for fuel instead of poppies. Poppy growing could be reduced by an estimated 50 percent. • Create a new industry for Afghanistan: If the renewable fuel plant is successful, other plants will hopefully be added, creating jobs and responding to the drain of importing petroleum.

Each panelist will speak briefly about the impacts of the oil spill from his or her area of expertise before addressing the audience’s questions. The discussion aims to draw attention to the long-term implications of the oil spill that are often overlooked, according to the panelists. It is intended to educate the audience about larger issues concerning the spill that do not only affect the country environmentally. Esther Gray, special assistant for academic affairs, said she hopes Tuesday’s event will help extend the scope of the discussion and make the topic of the oil spill more personal for the SU community. “We selected four people who would be able to provide a broader overview of more aspects,”

Gray said. Because the panelists are from four different disciplines, they will be able to put the topic of the oil spill and its impacts in a wider perspective, she said. The three panelists from SU are Kishi Animashaun Ducre, assistant professor of African American studies; Matt Huber, assistant professor of geography; and Christopher Scholz, an earth sciences professor. The fourth panelist is Lee Clarke, associate professor of sociology at Rutgers who has written books about disaster and organizational failure. Joe Palca, an NPR science correspondent, will moderate the discussion. Palca has covered many science topics, including the Gulf oil spill. Scholz said he plans to focus largely on the biological and environmental aspects of the spill, as well as the risks involved in oil drilling. “The spill is emblematic of the great risks we take as a society for sustaining our thirst for energy,” he said. The BP oil spill acts as a warning to those

who want to partake in other forms of drilling, such as hydrofracking, a controversial method of drilling into shale for natural gas, Scholz said. He said he hopes the audience will be more aware of the risks that accompany expectations of cheap energy. “We face important decisions locally about future energy extraction and use, due to the potential for shale-gas exploration here in Central New York,” Scholz said. Ducre, who will focus on issues about environmental justice, said she thinks the topic of the Gulf oil spill is still current, although it has moved away from the media spotlight. “It’s completely relevant in terms of what are we willing to sacrifice in terms of our energy consumption,” Ducre said. She said these are decisions that will influence the lives of communities who work in the oil industry or live near oil and chemical refineries. It also affects foreign policy and how we deal with countries from which we receive oil reserves, she said.

Though the media attention has died down, Clarke said it is still important to talk about the BP oil spill to learn from it and avoid other disasters. Clarke said public opinion on a disaster is based on how often it appears in the news. He cited the earthquake in Haiti as an example. “We have a very short memory after a disaster, and that’s a problem,” he said. “We should be still talking about conservation. We should be talking about greater safety out in the Gulf, and I’m not sure if there’s a whole lot of that talk going on right now.” atanying@syr.edu

together Stitching up three years of experience, senior fashion design majors prepare for runway careers By Misyrlena Egkolfopoulou

CONTRIBUTING WRITER

itiya Phongsuwan isn’t counting down to the end. She’s counting down to the beginning. While her friends see the end of their college tenure as a time to tie up loose ends and finish their academic careers, Phongsuwan said she is only ramping up for the biggest moment in her life. It’s a moment that might determine the rest of her life. But she wouldn’t have it any other way. “It’s very stressful, it’s nerve-racking and it’s taking over my life, as it should be,” she said. “It’s also exciting.” Phongsuwan, a senior fashion design major, is in the middle of her final assignment as a design student before she graduates: the senior fashion show, taking place in April. Every year the College of Visual and Performing Arts holds a fashion show with the help of the Fashion Association of Design Students, during which senior students present their collections. The fashion show is a capstone project that utilizes techniques and skills learned in the past three years, said Todd Conover, an assistant professor of fashion design, in an e-mail interview. Employing illustration, patternmaking and draping, the seniors’ collections are the building blocks of the design industry, he said. Phongsuwan, also the vice president of the design association, a student group composed of design students who organize fashion-focused events, is already brainstorming the details of her collection. “Many of the students are looking out for models around campus,” she said. “It’s really exciting.” Phongsuwan stressed the difficulties involved with preplanning a collection, and hers is still in its early stages. It is still too soon to tell what her final design will look like, she said. The first semester of senior year for a fashion design senior is broken up into three separate sections. The students are given three different themes and are required to create one different collection for each theme. “The first theme was sculpture — all black,” Phongsuwan said. “We had to pick a certain sculpture and design off that, but all we could use was black.” All fashion design seniors are now working on the second theme, based on

Scary storyteller Odds Bodkin recounts Halloween tales By Erik Van Rheenen CONTRIBUTING WRITER

As the audience in Lyman Hall sat in silent anticipation for storyteller Odds Bodkin to weave his tales of the supernatural, three students from Bodkin’s home state of New Hampshire already knew what to expect. “Odds Bodkin is a local legend where I’m from,” said Alex Keenan, a sophomore television, radio and fi lm major. “I’ve seen him since fi fth grade. He used to tell stories at the local library.” Bodkins, an award-winning musi-

cian and wordsmith who has spoken at the White House twice, recited frightful stories Monday night for “Halloween Tales of Horror.” No stranger to Syracuse University, Bodkin has visited the campus once before to tell Halloween tales. Dennis Horten, a freshman in the Martin J. Whitman School of Management and also from New Hampshire, was thrilled to see Bodkin at SU. “This guy can tell awesome stories,” Horten said. “He does classics like ‘Beowulf’ and actually makes them interesting to listen to.”

“I’m really glad that now everyone knows how good he is. He brings his stories to life. It’s deﬁnitely a great way to get into the Halloween spirit.” Kenneth Jones

SOPHOMORE TELEVISION, RADIO AND FILM MAJOR

Although fliers around campus advertised the Department of Recreation Services-sponsored event, other members of the audience were not exactly sure what to expect from

the performance. Anne Krengel, an undeclared sophomore at the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications, said she came to the event wondering how spooky a one-man

act could actually be. Bodkin greeted the small audience gathered in a dimly lit lecture room with a message about his unique brand of storytelling as a modern-day bard. “You are all the cinematographers,” Bodkin said to the audience. “It’s up to you to take the characters, words and music I offer, spin them in your mind’s eye, and visualize the tales I am about to tell you.” Bodkin took his place at the front of the lecture room, surrounded by a microphone, two acoustic guitars, SEE BODKIN PAGE 12

movement. The theme will last until Nov. 8. The final, which is still undetermined, ends during finals week. The seniors start each collection by designing 100 sketches. Those sketches are then narrowed down to 25 designs. By the end of the semester, each student will have three collections of 25 pieces each. Of the three collections, students are asked to pick six pieces from one collection so that they have time next semester to develop the six looks, Phongsuwan said. Conover said this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s themes were chosen with a specific purpose. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fashion is an ever-evolving animal,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This year the parameters of inspiration developed for the capstone projects are current in the world of fashion subconscious.â&#x20AC;?

a harp and an eerie backdrop of a luminescent moon rising over a semi-lit forest. After strumming a couple of chords, Bodkin entered into his first tale, an ancient Inuit myth about an arranged marriage gone fatally awry. Demonstrating his acoustic guitar chops, the storyteller kept the audience in rapt suspense with self-produced sound effects. Bodkins provided the sounds of a brisk ocean wind, the gurgling of water in a kayak?and the

of the same theme, so far each student has made his or her collection unique. Hannah Slocum, a senior fashion design major, said each student has a very different vision, and collections look nothing alike. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Although they give us a theme, where we go with that is free for us to decide,â&#x20AC;? Slocum said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You think that would be very constricting, but every single collection came out very different.â&#x20AC;? Just like every other student, Slocum said her personal tastes were ref lected in her styles. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am very into geometric symmetry, lines and form,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For me itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all about lines â&#x20AC;&#x201D; very modern.â&#x20AC;? Like every other year, the fashion show will not announce a winner. However, several studentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; designs and collections will be presented in a professional fashion show in New York City during the summer. A selected jury will choose which collections will hit the runway. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A handful of us get to go, but not all of

us,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is a real fashion show, with real models, real-world makeup artists.â&#x20AC;? Conover said this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s competition will be stiff and the talent among the students is amazing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s group of young designers has a collective and sophisticated sensibility,â&#x20AC;? he said. The New York City-based fashion show is organized to expose the students to employ-

voices for every character, which ranged from a high falsetto for the storyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tragic heroine and a booming roar for her father. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I never script my stories,â&#x20AC;? Bodkin said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I rely on mental imagery to keep my place in the story. The voices just come naturally as the story progresses.â&#x20AC;? After only a brief pause to take a drink from his water bottle, Bodkin segued into a spooky Western tale. Bodkin adapted the sudden story change with a definitive twang while sinking his voice into a drawl. The story, about a train engineer whose haunting past catches up with him, was the

most warmly received by the audience. Bodkin made use of sharp facial expressions and dynamic volume shifts in his voice to catch the audienceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attention. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t played â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The Phantom Trainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; for about 10 years,â&#x20AC;? he said when asked about the story. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I hoped I still could do the train-chugging sound and get the strumming just right.â&#x20AC;? For his last story, an Irish yarn entitled â&#x20AC;&#x153;Spring Water,â&#x20AC;? Bodkin surprised the audience by simultaneously playing his harp and speaking with an authentic Irish accent. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I taught myself to play both the guitar and the harp,â&#x20AC;? Bodkin said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m telling a

Phongsuwan said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Who wants to travel all the way to Syracuse for a fashion show?â&#x20AC;? For Phongsuwan, the fashion show is her first shot to land a job. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A collection is pretty much what I have been working for the last four years. It is all my hard work.

Looking past bluesy background, Kings of Leon asserts itself as mainstream rock band By Alexander James Staff Writer

ith the release of “Come Around Sundown,” Tennessee rockers Kings of Leon continue making their case as America’s biggest rock band. Building on the success of their 2008 album “Only By the Night,” the Kings have retained their pop sensibilities while crafting a more mature album, rich in mood and melody. Many of these songs will endure as innovative achievements for a band that has spent years earning its stripes. Change is nothing new to Kings of Leon. The band’s style and sound have evolved over the years, from bluesy southern rock to alternative-pop rock designed to bring down stadiums. This was evident with the band’s Grammy Award-winning “Only By the Night,” which sold 6.5 million copies worldwide. While the album was a resounding success, it polarized fans with its mainstream-friendly production and catchy choruses: They either loved it or hated it. In that regard, the sleek engineering of “Come Around Sundown” initially leads us to think that this is another pop album from the Kings. Not quite. The band takes its brawny productions and turns the attention to mood and emotion, making an album that’s deeper than its previous album. Creating distinct moods and communicating attitude are the Kings’ primary concerns throughout this album. This much is apparent in “The End,” the ironically titled album opener that comments on the band’s recent success. Wailing “this could be the end” over spacey guitars and a plodding beat, front man Caleb Followill tries to convince us that fame and fortune will never satisfy. The moody vibe of the opener carries into lead single “Radioactive,” a song with cryptic lyrics resembling U2 during its edgier, late-80s days. “Pyro,” a gloomy song, describes feeling upset with the world and wanting to burn it all down. Followill’s strained vocal delivery and glass half-empty mentality command full attention, and the band’s musical execution is just beautiful. “Mary” is a more upbeat song that softens the mood with doo-wop vocal harmonies and a fabulous guitar solo from Matthew Followill. Coming down from that high, the transition into “The Face” parallels the slowing pace when the lyrics urge us to “ride out the wave.”

“The Immortals” is one of the more experimental tracks on the album, with its off-tempo guitar layering and unpredictable rhythm. Bolstered by an uplifting and powerful chorus, this is a reflection on fame and never forgetting to keep perspective. “Back Down South” sounds like a close relative of U2’s “Red Hill Mining Town,” with its countryinspired slide guitars and violins. This ode to coming back home is refreshing. As much as the Kings of Leon evolved from its Tennessee-garage rock roots, the band members still haven’t lost touch with themselves. “Beach Side” is a playful counterpart to “Back Down South,” where there are no beaches. A faster-paced beat runs contrary to the song’s theme of wanting to just settle down and relax. The last third of “Come Around Sundown” focuses on departure and cynicism. “No Money” is about panic, burning out from too much pressure and then wanting to cut loose and run away. “Pony Up” has Caleb trying to convince us to join him: “If you take my hand, I’m gonna get you outta here.” “Birthday” is an apparent love song about coming together and celebrating. However, the happy melodies only serve to mask the underlying sarcasm and suggestions of domestic violence. “Mi Amigo” is similar in tone, exploring the perpetually fine line between a true friend and drinking buddy. For someone who sounds inebriated half the time anyway, Caleb makes this anthem to alcohol sound charmingly honest. “Pickup Truck” is a powerful ending to an equally powerful album. The lyrics describe a physical altercation that arises over an unforeseen love triangle. Fans of Third Eye Blind’s “Motorcycle Drive By” will immediately be drawn into this song’s parallel melody that is also an original story. Overall, “Come Around Sundown” challenges the faith of Kings of Leon fans. The big guitar riffs, the atmospheric moods and the dense melodies suggest the band will never go back to its southern blues roots. This may be a letdown to some. Yet the band deserves praise for pushing its craft to new heights and cultivating a wholly unique sound amid all of its mainstream popularity. Down the road, we may look back on “Come Around Sundown” as the album that solidified Kings of Leon as America’s premier rockers. ajhaeder@syr.edu

But to Cooper, Stewart is worth the trip. “She’s pretty special,” said Mark Lewis, the national recruiting coordinator for Hoopgurlz. com. “Whatever hype you’ve read or whatever anybody has told you is true. She’s one of those kids who actually live up to their billing.” Like Stewart, Coleman is being recruited by nearly every school in the country as well.

With his standout performance, he joins teammates Mike Holmes and Max Suter, who earned the honor on Sept. 6 and Oct. 11, respectively. “Doug would be the first to tell you that you don’t gain that without 10 other guys on the football field helping you achieve the ability to make those plays,” Marrone said. “We are very excited about that. We had a lot of people play well in the game.”

Carter to practice this week Senior running back Delone Carter is expected to practice this week after missing the second half against West Virginia with what was described as a bruise to his right hip, Marrone said Monday. Carter limped off the field early in the second quarter Saturday. He had gained 75 yards on just nine carries, including a 46-yard run

player in the Class of 2012. On this day’s practice, it’s easy to tell who Stewart is once inside the gym. She’s the tallest person on the court. Head coach Eric Smith has his team working on conditioning and ball-handling drills. Though smaller guards like Kelsey Mattice are suppose to dominate at this type of exercise, Stewart uses her fluidity to excel at the workout. Lewis, of Hoopgurlz.com, has witnessed Stewart’s progression over the years. The former high school coach thoroughly understands the jewel of a player Smith has over at CNS. “Is she exceptional? Yes. Is she ultra talented? Yes,” Lewis said. “She’s certainly one of the best players in high school girl’s basketball in the country, regardless of class.” As of now, Stewart doesn’t have a list of schools and has no idea what school she wants to attend. Smith is helping Stewart’s parents with all the information they are receiving, but in the end, he just wants his prodigy to be happy. He’s leaving the decision up to her. “I give her the information that I hear from coaches,” Smith said. “I think she’ll make the decisions. I think her parents and myself will help if there are questions, but she’s going to make that decision.” And although Stewart is a long shot to end up playing for the SU women’s program in the Carrier Dome, Jamesville-DeWitt has someone who could possibly be Boeheim’s next great big man. That big man is Coleman. “You can’t be a cocky person,” Coleman said. “You have to go out there and talk to people and make them like you.” Dealing with college coaches and the recruitment game is nothing new to JD head coach Bob McKenney, as he instructed SU stars Brandon Triche and Andy Rautins when they played for him. However, Coleman’s recruitment has been on an entirely different level because all of the national attention. “We might have been close with Brandon, but not quite,” McKenney said. “Nothing like with DaJuan. Obviously when you can get a (6-foot-8) player that can run the floor and is athletic and strong with soft hands, that’s just a commodity.” As Coleman and McKenney are both learning to deal with all the national focus and attention, each is realizing that recruiting can sometimes be a dirty game. “I will the say the process with DaJuan has been very educational and a little bit different,”

joe lingeman | staff photographer Dajuan coleman and Cicero-North Syracuse’s Breanna Stewart, are two Syracusearea prospects ranked in the top five of their respective recruiting classes. said McKenney. “The AAU piece and all the people trying to get in makes you shake your head.” Though Coleman, along with his coach, is currently working on a list of schools, he insists he won’t make a decision until he has visited some of the schools recruiting him. With two years of high school left, Coleman knows he has enough time to make a decision that could affect the rest of his life. He doesn’t want to rush his decision, but he knows he wants to make the best one for his situation. Coleman’s opportunity to have every bigname college coach standing at his doorstep is based on how high he has been ranked ever since he started playing high school basketball in eighth grade. Evan Daniels, a national recruiting analyst for Scout.com, witnessed Coleman’s talents and the skills of his other classmates at this year’s Elite 24 Hoops Classic. “Well, first off, he’s a big boy,” Daniels said. “He’s been competing against upperclassmen and done it at a pretty good level. He was at

Nike Camp early on as a freshman, and he’s continues to get better. He’s a really big kid with great hands and can really carve out some space inside and has some pretty good skills around the basket with a nice jump hook.” With two years left before either Coleman or Stewart begins college orientation, both are like any other average teenagers — just with extraordinary basketball talents. Both of them said they will be happy when all of this is over. Even if it will only be a short amount of time, for Coleman and Stewart, without the pressure of the hawking blue bloods. A short amount of time to be high schoolers in Central New York before those blue bloods are watching them in a gym every day at the next phase of their basketball careers. “I’ll be real happy I won’t have to talk to all these coaches at once,” Coleman said. “When that time comes, I’m just going to be ready to focus on school. And I’ll already know what college I’m going to, so I won’t have to worry.” cjphil01@syr.edu

just before the injury occurred. At his weekly press conference Monday, Marrone confirmed that “everyone is practicing today” when asked about Carter specifically. “The only people who I know may not practice are people with a flu or virus, because we are still evaluating a couple people,” Marrone said. “And it’s been going around. I had it right before the game, (secondary) Coach (John) Anselmo had it, and a couple of players had it.” The injury was to the same hip Carter dislocated in 2007, which kept Carter out for the season. Though he returned to the sideline following the halftime break Saturday, Carter did not make it onto the field. Instead, Antwon Bailey carried the bulk of the load for the Orange. “I felt bad for Delone because I really thought early on that he was going to have a big day,” Marrone said Saturday. “Just by the way he was running. He had a look like no one person was going to take him down.”

Syracuse receives votes in AP Top 25 Just a day after beating a team it hadn’t in quite some time, Syracuse experienced another feat it hadn’t in awhile: receiving votes in the Associated Press Top 25 poll. SU is outside the Top 25, but it received eight votes in the AP poll. A win this weekend at

matthew ziegler | staff photographer doug hogue (32) played a big role in SU’s upset of then-No. 20 West Virginia by picking off two of quarterback Geno Smith’s passes. Both interceptions led to SU field goals. Cincinnati could catapult the Orange into the rankings for the first time since 2001. Perhaps more importantly, Syracuse is the

top-ranked team from the Big East, garnering more votes than any other team league-wide. aljohn@syr.edu

Krachie steps up after injury to SU’s Bibbs By Allison Guggenheimer Staff Writer

Of the 22 players who have started a game for the Syracuse men’s soccer team this season, 11 have started at midfield. Aside from sophomore Mark Brode, not a single midfielder has started every game. So there is no core to the midfield, no established formula. To outsiders, this means a lack of consistency in the center of the field from game to game. To players, it means working hard to earn one of the five starting spots. “It’s based on how the guys do in practice,” SU head coach Ian McIntrye said. “Those guys that perform well in practice start the game, and those that play well in the game keep their position. But also it’s not quite as simple as that. It’s matchups and the other team and who we feel will have the opportunity to provide the opposition with some matchup problems.” Freshman Stephen Krachie seems to be doing something right. Ever since he got the chance to replace a sick Nick Bibbs in the game against St. John’s on Oct. 13, Krachie has played in every game. He started the last two, and McIntyre said he has a good chance of doing so again Wednesday against No. 2 Louisville. The freshman has begun to set himself apart.

brandon weight | staff photographer stephen krachie (22) has come off the bench to earn a starting spot in head coach Ian McIntyre’s midfield for Syracuse. Krachie, a freshman, has been playing as one of the two defensive midfielders alongside sophomore Mark Brode with the Orange. McIntyre said his range of passing and speed has contributed to his rise through the ranks.

He joins Brode at the defensive midfielder position, and the two have meshed well over the past few games. They have a similar style of play, both making simple passes. It is too soon to know if the pairing will last, but it has potential to create that midfield core. “He defends real well,” Brode said. “He does a lot of running. I know the past few games, having him in there, I’ve done less running because he’s done so much running for me. He’s good in the air. He helps me out with head balls. And he plays simple. He gets the ball and just plays it to the guy next to him, which is good.” But keeping Krachie at defensive mid mixes up the midfield yet again. Bibbs, who Krachie replaced in the St. John’s game, is now looking for another position, possibly among the defense. SU’s top scorer, Nick Roydhouse, could be allowed more freedom with Krachie behind him. Roydhouse traditionally plays offensive center midfielder, but in practice Monday he was moved out wide. With Roydhouse not focusing as much on defending, he can set up more attacks for the Orange. This still leaves two spots open for the rest of the eight midfielders. Among those attacking midfielders, there is likely to still be constant changes to the balance of the team. “Definitely the chemistry in there gets a little switched up when new people come in,” Brode said. “Like (Mawuena Agbossoumonde) is a really skillful player, and he’s different than Chris Saul, who’s a quick player, and Krachie, who’s more of a big player who’s really good at defending. So it kind of mixes it up a little bit.” Establishing a core among the middle three will settle down a lot of those mix-ups. That could mean keeping Roydhouse in the middle or finding someone else who can move the ball forward. The numerous midfielders do provide an advantage in terms of energy on the field. When one player begins to slow or make mistakes, he can easily be replaced by one of the many others. To prevent being easily replaceable, Krachie must do what McIntyre said he looks for as he

“I’ve got to play the ball a little forward more. I’ve been playing it a little back. But that’s just having confidence.” Stephen Krachie

SU midfielder

makes his lineups. He must continue to do well in practice and build on his performance in Saturday’s 3-0 loss to Rutgers. “Just build on Saturday,” Krachie said. “It was a tough loss, I thought we played well. … Just keep doing what I’m doing. I’ve got to play the ball a little forward more. I’ve been playing it a little back. But that’s just having confidence to be able to hit it long.” alguggen@syr.edu

A loss on Wednesday to Rutgers puts the Orange in a tough position to make the Big East tournament. Going into the game, the Scarlet Knights didn’t have a single conference win, making it the worst team in the Big East. Yet a win against Syracuse brought them back into contention. To get one of the last two spots in the postseason, SU will have to win one, if not both of its remaining games.

ICE HOCKEY

october 2 6, 2 010

Experience at Warner School prepares Hosoyamada for SU Mikko Makela remembers the first time he saw Akane Hosoyamada play hockey. The head coach of the Warner Hockey School noticed the diminutive girl’s skills and skating ability at a tryout for his team. He knew Hosoyamada — who is now a freshman defender for Syracuse — had the tools to become a Warner Warrior. The Warner School is a powerhouse that attracts elite talent and produces top college players. The hockey team has saved the small school in Alberta, Canada, from closing and the town from disappearing. There is a certain pride that comes with putting on the Warner sweater. Hosoyamada lived up to the proud tradition in her three years with the program. Makela, who played seven seasons in the NHL, only hopes to find more players like her to maintain the program’s success. “In this program here, we’re trying to find the players that have a good skill set and very good people,” he said. “And then after that, we can build things around that, and that’s what Akane is: a completely perfect Warner girl, the type of a Warner girl and hockey player that we’re looking for.” She has achieved her goal of playing Division I hockey. It was a goal that started with that tryout more than three years ago. It started with the Warner School. “They told me that they wanted me and how I could definitely play at Division I,” Hosoyamada said. “That’s what got me thinking that I wanted

to play at this level of hockey.” Hosoyamada transferred from Banff Community High School to Warner to focus on hockey. She improved her game and lived away from home in a college-like atmosphere, an experience that prepared her for SU. By her second year with the team, Makela noticed the quiet girl started to break out from her shell. She was becoming a leader and was named a team captain. “Whenever Akane said something, everybody listened because she wasn’t talking just to be talking,” the coach said. “Whenever Akane had something to say, it was something important and something meaningful.” He said Hosoyamada was a no-nonsense type of player who led by example. She picked up that attitude from her coach. Makela constantly stressed the importance of one thing to his players: work ethic. It was the foundation of the Warner program. “He always focused on how, individually, we have to work hard in order for the team to succeed,” Hosoyamada said. “He made me realize that work ethic is a big thing.” That work ethic and attitude, along with her skating ability, caught SU head coach Paul Flanagan’s eye. Flanagan watched her play for Team Alberta at the National Women’s U-18 Championship against the top players in Canada, and he was sold. Her experience at Warner, coupled with her versatility, has Flanagan excited about her potential to make an immediate contribution. The head coach said she has good instincts and

Hosoyamada played both ways in high school. She was voted the team’s best defender twice and was also an offensive threat on the wing. Flanagan plans to highlight that versatility this season. “We expect her to continue to grow with the team and develop into not only a solid defensive defenseman, but we think that she’ll be able to give us a little added punch up front because she likes to go with it and jump into the play,” he said. Hosoyamada has played in all seven games for the Orange this season, logging key minutes on defense and picking her spots on offense. She recorded her first career point on an assist in

Marty provides stability in 3rd-year program By Jarrad Saffren CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Paul Flanagan points to a photograph to the right of the door in his spacious corner office. In the picture, 12 girls are standing at the blue line before a sparse crowd at the Tennity Ice Skating Pavilion. Their sticks are held straight as their eyes focus on the North American flags they’re paying respect to overhead. The bubbled blue-lettered caption reads “The Beginning,” with “October 13th, 2008” right beneath. Stefanie Marty is in this picture. She may as well have painted it. “She was definitely the primary building block when we got the program started,” said Flanagan, the Syracuse ice hockey coach. “You couldn’t manufacture a better player to build a program around.” Marty transferred to Syracuse in the fall of 2008 after playing minimally in her freshman season at New Hampshire. Upon arrival, she helped build stability at a tentative new program. And now she’s the face of the third-year program. A Nussbaumen, Switzerland, native, Marty had played hockey at a professional level since the age of 15 in her home country. In 2003, she signed with the Swiss professional team EV Zug. She was selected to the national team the same year. But in 2007, she moved to America in pursuit of a better education. A powerful forward with a whistling slap shot, Marty became the

ideal attacking scorer for Flanagan to build his offense around. In the program’s inaugural season in 2008-09, she led the team in scoring with 22 points. And her high-level competitive experience made her the perfect prototype for Flanagan to build his program around. “Even as a sophomore,” Flanagan said, “she was so dedicated in everything, from how she ate to how she trained.” In just its third season as a program, SU has graduated from an expansion laughingstock to a bonafide contender in the College Hockey America conference. After finishing last in 2008-09, the Orange finished second last year. This season, at 4-2-1, the program has maintained its elevated conference status while building a competitive national profile. Already this season, Syracuse has a win over a nationally ranked team when it bet then-No. 8 New Hampshire on Oct. 8. And in many ways, Marty’s development as a player is a mirror image of the program she’s helping to build. Just look at the differences between her two Olympic experiences as a member of the Swiss national team. As an 18-year-old playing on a global stage for the first time in 2006, Marty said she and her teammates weren’t quite ready for the magnitude of the event. She didn’t record a point as her Swiss team was eliminated in three quick games. “That was the first Olympics for the whole team,” Marty said. “It was really hard to focus on just hockey with all the external distrac-

tions.” But by the 2010 games, Marty was a 21-yearold international veteran who had represented her country in five World Championships and the 2006 Olympics. Focusing strictly on hockey, she recorded an Olympic-record nine goals while leading her team to a fi fth-place finish. With her performance in last year’s Olympics, Marty too had graduated from those initial stages of inexperience that marked both her first Olympics and the inaugural season of the SU program. “Four years later, we knew what to expect,” Marty said. And now at SU, she knows what to expect: a dynamic offensive threat with the fearless personality that has made her into a leader. Marty is currently fourth on the Orange with eight points through the team’s first seven games. And she is tied for second on SU with four goals. Back in his office, Flanagan has shifted his focus to the 30-inch flat screen attached to a straight-ahead wall. The NHL’s Pittsburgh Penguins and New Jersey Devils are playing on the screen. Flanagan points to Sidney Crosby and discusses how the Penguins wunderkind provided a much-needed spark for a fledging NHL franchise. “Kind of like what Stef Marty is doing for us,” he said. “Making Syracuse hockey matter.” jdsaffre@syr.edu

SU’s 7-1 win over Connecticut. Makela said Hosoyamada worked hard to reach the Division I level. The journey began with that tryout, and it continues at SU. But she will always be a Warner girl. Though Makela didn’t play hockey at the collegiate level, he gave Hosoyamada some advice before she came to college. Said Makela: “Just be yourself and play hard like you have done in Warner, and it will take you places.” rjgery@syr.edu

volley ba ll

Freshman Kullman bides time on SU’s bench By Rachel Marcus Staff Writer

Just an injury away — that is how close Amanda Kullman is to being the starting setter for the Syracuse volleyball team. But in reality, Kullman is not a starter. She doesn’t always play. Her games mostly involve sitting on the bench and cheering on her teammates, with the occasional playing time thrown in here and there. “We’re expecting her to be ready for whenever we need her,” assistant coach Carol LaMarche said. “I don’t really foresee her taking over, position, at least not this year. We expect her to keep improving.” Kullman is currently second on the depth chart behind sophomore Laura Homann as SU’s starting setter. That is something that, for now, sits fine with Kullman, a freshman who spends most of her time standing on the sidelines and watching her teammates. Kullman realizes Homann is firmly entrenched as the starting setter. It’s just motivation to work harder. “That’s what I’m always up for: being challenged and making it to the top,” Kullman said. “Always pushing myself to get better.” As a freshman, playing time may not come very often. But when it does, like in the game against Cornell last week, Kullman is ready. “I think she knows where she needs to improve, and it’s just good that we’re getting more and more confidence in her that if something does happen to Laura, she can step on the court and deliver the balls,” LaMarche said. Against the Big Red, Kullman got her first playing time since early-season tournaments. It wasn’t a Big East game, but it was a match that let her receive more game experience. The set also provided an opportunity for

Kullman to showcase her skills, should she need to play more at some point later in the season. “When (head coach Jing Pu) told me (I was going into the game), my heart skipped a beat,” Kullman said, recounting the moment she was called on during the Cornell game. “I was really nervous at first. But stepping onto the court, I just had to keep telling myself, ‘It’s just like practice. This is what we do every day. I know how to do this. This is what I love to do.’ So I just had to keep telling myself that you’re good at it and you can do it.” Kullman played one set and finished with 12 assists, right behind Homann’s 16 assists. The freshman won’t be unseating Homann anytime soon, though. But that does not mean she isn’t talented. LaMarche has seen her consistent play in practice, which translated to the court against Cornell. And although she hasn’t played a lot, Kullman has improved over the course of the season, LaMarche said. “Every time, every day she comes to practice, she works hard, she focuses on what she needs to do,” LaMarche said. In only her first year at SU, Kullman understands what her role is, and she has begun to adjust to it. During games, she can be seen standing by SU’s bench with her other teammates also not in the game. They all cheer loudly, rooting their team on. “Being on the bench is hard,” Kullman said. “You have to know that you do have a role on the team. “It was hard especially during preseason, it was really a mental game. But now that I know that I’m just as good as these girls, it’s a really good feeling.” Kullman may or may not get more playing

time as the season progresses. Even if she doesn’t get minutes in Big East play, the effort is there — and that effort will get her far in the future, even if the present doesn’t seem so bright. Kullman has embraced her role. She doesn’t let it get her down. That, LaMarche said, is the sign of an ideal bench player. “You don’t want your bench players to be pouting on the sidelines and not cheering their teammates on,” LaMarche said. “You want them to stay focused and keep working hard and be ready whenever their opportunity arises that they get to play. And that’s what Amanda does.” rnmarcus@syr.edu

he similar scenes of men’s and women’s college basketball’s blue bloods flocking to Central New York illustrate the story of two blue chips. But it is a story of two top-tier recruits that is unique in the history of Syracusearea basketball. It’s an average weekday evening of a run-of-the-mill high school open gym for the Jamesville-DeWitt boy’s basketball team. While team members and other hopefuls shoot around and get warmed up for the evening’s pick-up games, everybody is waiting on DaJuan Coleman to enter the building. Standing 6 feet 8 inches tall and weighing 280 pounds, all eyes are fixated on Coleman whenever he walks into a room. He knows it. He has learned to deal with being a high school celebrity, as one of the elite players in the 2012 recruiting class. “It’s real crazy because every-

where you go, people know who you are,” Coleman said. “You always have to be level-headed and always look for interviews and be ready to talk to people.” That same week, just 14 miles away, another celebrity is practicing

In Coleman, Stewart, Syracuse area has unique combination of top-five recruits in 2012 class

in a high school gym. But Breanna Stewart is practicing in front of other celebrities. Cramped inside the Gillette Road Middle School is NBA legend Michael Cooper. The 6-foot-5 coach of the Southern California women’s

basketball team sits in a small, blue elementary school cafeteria chair. Dressed in an all-black Trojan track suit and crisp, white Nikes, Cooper balances on the undersized chair in silence, just like representatives see area recruits page 15

Just like old times, Doug Hogue followed his blockers and hightailed toward the end zone. But this time, the running back-turned-linebacker was returning his second interception of the first half Saturday against West Virginia. “It felt great,” Hogue said with a smile Saturday. “Coach Shafer put us in the right situation. Our D-line did a great job rushing the quarterback, and I kind of felt like I was a running back again. I’m not sure how good my ball security was, though.” Hogue’s 49-yard scamper set up a Syracuse field goal with just 37 seconds remaining in the first half and gave SU a 19-14 lead it would never relinquish. On Monday, Hogue, who was honored as the Walter Camp Football Foundation National Defensive Player of the Week, was named Big East Defensive Player of the Week for his performance. Hogue led a stingy defensive effort Saturday, as Syracuse held then-No. 20 West Virginia scoreless for the game’s final three quarters. With a team-high 10 tackles — 1.5 for loss — and two interceptions, Hogue’s play highlighted just how dominant the SU defense was against what was considered one of the best offenses in the league. “My background has been when you play well as a unit, people will get awards,” SU head coach Doug Marrone said at his weekly press conference Monday. “It’s great for Doug and Syracuse University. It’s great for our defensive coaches and our football team. But when people receive individual awards in this sport, it’s because of what’s going on around them. Our players would tell you that.” On the game’s first possession, Hogue snagged his first interception and put the Orange in position to get on the board early. Ross Krautman’s 28-yard field goal gave the Orange the game’s first points. It was the start of building a halftime lead. Syracuse eventually improved its record to 4-0 on the season when leading at halftime. This is the second year in a row in which Hogue, a converted running back, has been named the Defensive Player of the Week. He also earned the see hogue page 15
