Sales’ drug charges dropped By Ryne Gery

The felony drug charges against suspended Syracuse wide receiver Marcus Sales have been dropped, defense lawyer Michael Vavonese said Wednesday. Sales faced charges of fi fthand seventhdegree criminal possession of a controlled substance, seconddegree crimiSALES nally using drug paraphernalia, unlawful possession of marijuana and violating the city’s open container law. The charges against Sales have been dropped after an Onondaga County grand jury did not find enough evidence to charge Sales with drug possession, but his brother, Michael

avid Ross will always wax nostalgic about his first assignment at his first job out of Syracuse University. The harmony game was all too real. While his boss chatted with Yoko Ono, he met the Beatle of Beatles at the foot of his bed, grabbed a guitar off the wall and became Paul McCartney for a few golden minutes.
Jim Harithas, director of the Everson Museum of Art, gave the 20-year-old Ross the task of keeping John Lennon occupied when the two traveled to Manhattan in 1971 to execute Harithas’ master plan — convince Yoko Ono to bring her first American Fluxus art exhibit, “This Is Not Here,” to Syracuse. “Jim is the most radical man to ever run an American museum,” Ross said. As a new director in a stunning 3-year-old art museum, Harithas was only interested in energizing the

Students in Turkey unhurt after 7.2-magnitude quake By Breanne Van Nostrand ASST. COPY EDITOR
All Syracuse University students studying abroad in Istanbul are safe and were not affected by the Oct. 23 earthquake in Van. The 7.2-magnitude earthquake was the most powerful to hit Turkey in more than a decade, according to an Oct. 26 CNN article. It devastated parts of eastern Turkey, leaving more than 1,300 people injured and at least

Experts say Earth still in jeopardy By Nick Cardona STAFF WRITER
Some of the nation’s top scientists gathered in a packed Hendricks Chapel on Wednesday night for a “State of the Earth” interview-style discussion focused on the planet. Moira Gunn, host of “Tech Nation,” interviewed three scientists: Carol Finn, a geophysicist at the U.S. Geological Survey; Pamela Matson, dean of the School of Earth Sciences at Stanford University; and Elsa Reichmanis, SU alumna and faculty member at the School of Chemical and Bimolecular Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology.
The discussion focused on numerous issues that are facing the planet Earth. Panelists compared what people thought of the environment 20 years ago and what they think today. “People do not realize what chemically related substances can do to the environment,” Reichmanis said. The environment is constantly changing and the more people that do not know about it, the worse it is going to get, she said. An example of change Reichmanis witnessed 20 years ago was that people were only becoming aware of the issues at hand and now are simply “stewards of the environment.”
Finn said she has seen more people moving toward the issue than running from it. Twenty years ago there were hazards and scarce water available, and people did not do anything about it. Citizens are beginning to change the area around them, she said. People are now looking inside the Earth for answers, and they are finding a lot more information to work with. In today’s world people try to meet the needs of others by connecting them to the environmental issues, Matson said. For two decades, air pollution dominated SEE GUNN PAGE 6

SU lobbying efforts drop in third quarter By Kathleen Ronayne DEVELOPMENT EDITOR
Syracuse University reported $50,000 in lobbying expenses for the third quarter of 2011, but it did not lobby the federal government on any specific issues. Third quarter reports were filed to the Senate on Oct. 20. The lack of lobbying during the third quarter is the result of a transition period in the leadership of SU’s Government and Community Relations office, said Kevin Quinn, senior vice president for public affairs. The $50,000 in expenses is from payments to an outside lobbyist
SU keeps on retention and dues to national organizations that are attributed to lobbying, Quinn said. In 2011, SU spent a total of $180,000 on lobbying, according to data by the Center for Responsive Politics. The university lobbied on a variety of issues pertaining directly to SU, including education, veterans affairs and federal budget an d appropriations, as well as a number of national and international issues. The university’s lobbying efforts have increased consistently each year since 2000. In both 2009 and 2010, the university spent more than $280,000 on federal-level lobbying.
The university averages between $60,000 to $80,000 in lobbying expenses per quarter. Based on this year’s reports, SU is on par to spend less on lobbying this year than it has in recent years. “We look to the issues that resonate nationally as important for SU and our students, but also resonate with our counterparts — both other universities and the array of national organizations that we are a part of,” Quinn said. In 2011, the university increased its lobbying on veterans affairs. SU specifically asked Rep. Ann Marie SEE LOBBY PAGE 6

Freshman hopes move to ACC improves SU’s reputation
he minute I stepped on Syracuse’s campus junior year of high school, I told my mom this is the place where I needed to be. I loved the school’s atmosphere, the education I would receive and the reputation of the university. The reputation — it meant something to me. Once I was accepted in December, whenever someone asked where I would attend college in the fall, I proudly said Syracuse University; they smiled and congratulated me, for this school has a reputation that has the ability to take its graduates anywhere and everywhere. After being a student here for only a few months, news started to buzz that the school had plans to move from the Big East conference to the Atlantic Coast Conference and as a sports fan, I was initially livid. But then I thought about why I am really attending this university. I am here for my education, and a very good one at that. When the move was solidified in late September/early October, sources concluded the change in conferences might revive the recently declining SU rankings. Currently, according to U.S. News and World Report, the university holds a national ranking of No. 62, which is below the ranking the school held in 2005 — No. 52 — and well below the 40s, where SU ranked in the 1990s. The academic slip appears to have caused the school to look into other conferences for stimulation in reputation and value. Many hope the move will bring about
LET TER TO THE EDITOR a new scholastic surge for the upcoming applicant pools. In joining the ACC, the university hopes to relay the message that the school is deserving of the best students who can excel academically. SU hopes the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications’ and Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs’ nationally ranked programs remain the most competitive. Moving to the ACC may allow other schools and colleges in the university’s umbrella of education to succeed as well. Reputation is not the only thing that brought me to SU. It was the love and pride that every student and alumnus I talked to had toward the university. It was Chancellor Nancy Cantor’s mission to make sure the students succeeded by any means. It was the feeling I got when I stepped on campus, and I could sense that the people around me had the drive to become something beyond than the limitations that had been placed upon them. The move to the ACC will not only make a difference in the academic reputation the school carries, but will also make a difference in the quality and quantity of innovators that will go forth and change the world.

Obama’s style of economic reforms rings hollow for many Americans; time for change
I
n 2008, then-Sen. Barack Obama ran his campaign on a message of hope and change. Today, as America nears its next presidential election this is exactly what America is in dire need of. With an anemic economy, a crushing national debt, a $1.5 trillion budget deficit, a decade-long war and a president that seems to have no definite solutions, Americans are frustrated and discouraged. The president seems to be inept at dealing with the current issues. The White House never has a plan until the last minute. The only thing that seems to be missing from the current picture is a Jimmy Carter-style malaise speech. After being crushed in the 2010 midterm elections because of his overzealous progressive agenda and failed economic policies, Obama has not changed course. He has produced a budget that explodes the national debt and would spend more than $45 trillion during the next 10 years; another stimulus package that proposes spending another $400 billion, paid for by raising taxes in the midst of a recession; and recklessly pushed to include zero budget cuts to raise the nation’s debt ceiling or in the budget resolutions. It took the president months to produce a speech about decreasing the budget deficit. It then took him the rest of the spring and the whole summer to come out with a formal plan that trimmed a stingy $3 trillion off of the proposed 2012 budget baseline of more $45 trillion over 10 years. The White House’s $3 trillion number is a farce at best since it is filled with budget gimmicks that insult the intelligence of all Americans. The Obama administration
PATRICK MOCETE
the right direction isn’t going anywhere and not only because Republicans are staunch opponents of his biggovernment policies, but also because the vast majority of Americans oppose them. For example, the president’s multitrillion-dollar health care reforms were signed into law in 2010 while the majority of the county was opposed to them; and since their passage, a majority of Americans have consistently been in favor of repeal. The country needs to change course, one not forged out of government dependency and a heavy-handed federal government (this is the same direction America has been going for the better part of 100 years), but one based on our Constitution, economic and political freedom, and centered around the individual.Unfortunately, the administration feels that the best way for our country is the former. While I have respect for Obama as an individual, his position is not a respectable one. The latter course would change the direction in which the country is headed, bringing hope and optimism back to America. Patrick Mocete is senior political science and policy studies major.

SU reputation debate needs honesty, not emotion Is Syracuse University sliding? It was a question The Daily Orange Editorial Board raised in February. We certainly were not the first to ask— or the last. Since February, there has been a landslide of commentary about SU’s reputation: Heated discussion at a March University Senate meeting. Inside Higher Ed wrote a cursory article. Chancellor Nancy Cantor defended her initiatives when SU’s ranking dropped this fall. The Chronicle of Higher Education delved into the debate, and professors, staff, alumni and others responded with more than 90 online comments. The Chronicle published a follow-up. The Post-Standard put together a spread in its Opinion section. And countless hushed discussions and explicit rants accumulate each day about where SU is headed. Up or down? Right or wrong? Sustainable or not? Pioneering or destructively radical? Out of the chaos come two conclusions — SU is in the midst of significant change, and the campus has become deeply divided. Under the chancellor’s guidance, SU is trying to uplift the city, pushing

editorial by the daily orange editorial board students and faculty to focus their academic work locally. SU stepped up recruitment efforts abroad and beyond the Northeast, started feeder programs to get community college students to SU and strives to enroll a more diverse student body. Simultaneously, SU’s ranking by US News and World Report slid to No. 62, a seven-spot slide from last year. SU left the prestigious Association of American Universities before getting kicked out. The administration lambasts traditional metrics, like acceptance rate and SATs, which peer institutions continue to uphold as valid measures of academic quality. The undergraduate population has increased by 20 percent, aggravating the student housing shortage and increasing class size in some departments. Meanwhile, basic infrastructural problems persist, namely the shabby — though improving — state of E.S. Bird Library. For many this is old news. But which of these changes are correlated
and which are not continues to puzzle us all. Even administrators appear to scramble for evidence that all is well, offering a patchwork rationale of the most optimistic admissions statistics and outright rejection or disregard for criticism. The critics, too, put their spin on the data and apply their own logic to argue the institution is headed for disaster. The argument on all sides has clearly turned visceral, judging by the dozens of accusatory, frustrated comments on The Chronicle article. Emotion doesn’t help. It’s frankly embarrassing that a community of respected academics has regressed into petty squabbles. The campus needs unaffected honesty from everyone involved in the conversation. The chaos and anger — and ultimately fear — cannot be alleviated unless the campus puts all the facts, context from peer institutes and carefully crafted predictions on the table. Participants need to shed all allegiances and prejudices that have risen from this debate, and understand they are responsible to the students and academic quality before anything else.

SA presidential candidate debunks accusations of inexperience
n recent weeks, my opponent for Student Association president, Taylor Carr, has been reiterating my lack of “experience.” I would like him to clarify his statement. His definition of leadership experience seems to be a very exclusive, and an unreasonable one. I hope to illustrate my own experience and inquire as to how Taylor defines this term. If Taylor continues to claim that I lack leadership experience, I will assume his definition of “experience” will be so narrow as to exclude many of the student leaders on campus. In case he has merely overlooked my leadership experience, I lay it out for him here.

Since the creation of the Dean’s Team, I have been a member of its executive board and still play an integral leadership role in shaping the direction of the team. Taylor seems to define leadership experience so narrowly as to exclude my role as an executive board member and founder of the Dean’s Team. In addition, I serve as the vice chair of the Student Engagement Committee within SA. This is a position of significance. President Neal Casey sought to provide capable, passionate

Since then my job has been to advocate for the students. I find out what they like, don’t like and want to see here on campus.

Taylor entered SA in spring 2010 and resigned by summer 2010. In January 2011, he re-joined SA and has since been a member. He has two full semesters of experience in SA and is now in his third. By these facts, Taylor and I have equal experience in SA in terms of time. I urge my opponent to correct me if I made an error and to please clarify the exact dates he entered, left and re-entered SA. If Taylor believes experience relates to time served in SA, the students must know the facts of our tenure. Lastly, if Taylor considers his

If it was a necessary characteristic, the constitution and election codes would dictate all candidates be juniors. Why do they not? One would assume they don’t because class alone reveals nothing about the capability or passion or leadership of a candidate. To clarify his arguments regarding my own leadership experience to the students, I ask Taylor to please reveal his definition of leadership experience. Thank you.

The class, which focuses on water quality issues and the availability of the resource, was applicable to the studies of the Dominican students at Guzmán Ariza. “I went to see professor Siegel about this idea to test the water quality on the river,” Mallette said. “He loved the idea and told me he would kind of donate and sponsor me and get the tests kits for me and teach me how to use them and kind of develop this little environmental education module with my kids.” With help from Siegel and support from DREAM, Mallette, along with two volunteer teachers, was able to create a curriculum on water that allowed her to perform research on

ence teachers and professional development coach for DREAM, said in an email that the group also planned class activities related to the sampling it did with the project. “For all the science classes last summer, our theme was water, so every class was connected to the water project in some way,” said Ottaviano, who is also a K-3 English as a Second Language teacher at Prospect Hill Academy in Somerville, Mass. Ottaviano said Mallette’s project gave students at the Guzmán Ariza Camp an opportunity to provide resources that they would not normally have access to. Sarah Riggen, the other volunteer science teacher and professional development coach with DREAM who works in the Washington, D.C. public school system, said Mallette’s project led those planning the curriculum for the science courses to focus on water, as it is an especially relevant issue for Dominicans. Emily MacDowell, the U.S. office manager of the DREAM Project, said though they have collaborated with a few other universities, their collaboration with Mallette has been their most significant. “She’s the one that’s been the most suc-
cessful and has really spearheaded it without much, or any really, of our help. Her project is one of the first of its kind,” MacDowell said. Mallette said her favorite part of the camp was creating a demonstration with the students to show their parents what they learned. “I had them kind of re-enact their trip down the river in the boat and show their parents how to use the kits,” Mallette said. “I was just so proud of them because they knew all of it. They knew everything they were saying; they knew each parameter, what each thing meant and the significance of it.” Mallette’s project didn’t stop there. With Siegel, Mallette submitted her project to the Geological Society of America and was selected to present a poster at the annual conference in Minneapolis. She will use the project as her Honors Capstone, too. Mallette said the support that she received from Siegel was unexpected, as she had never worked so closely with a professor. Mallette said: “A lot of the stuff I learned about water quality I learned from him before I went.”
community,” Reichmanis said. Gunn rebutted that communicating with the public does not mean changing people’s opinions. The panelists each had their own solutions to the communication issue. Matson said the only way to get the most effective answers is to “engage all of the expertise to work toward a solution.” Finn gave some advice to scientists saying, “Join your professional society and work together to get a message out to the public.” Reichmanis said it is going to take more than just one person to address this problem. Multiple people and groups need to come together to tackle this lack of communication, she said. Natalie Rebeyev, a freshman biology major
on the pre-medical track and public health dual major, said she thought the discussion was very informative and pointed out serious societal environmental problems. Rebeyev said if she had another opportunity to see the speakers again, she would because it is a topic that she’s interested in. Alexis Pierscieniewski, a sophomore public relations and international relations major, found the talk both informative and inspirational. That very attitude is not just hurting citizens presently but also harming future generations, she said. “Whether you believe in climate change or not, why wouldn’t you do something to help?”
lobby
funding for science, technology, engineering and math programs. SU asked Buerkle to support specific university initiatives, including the Near Westside Initiative. University members gave Buerkle a tour of the initiative and requested her support for a Neighborhood Planning Grant, according to lobbying reports. Buerkle wrote a letter in support of SU receiving the grant, said Liza Lowery, communications director for her office. Buerkle did vote to cut spending for Pell Grants, NPR and several other issues SU lobbied on, Lowery said. “The congresswoman voted in favor of cuts but not as specific to those programs as much as recognizing that this nation has to stop spending money,” Lowery said. Aside from SU-related issues, the university has also lobbied on defense, immigration and foreign relations in 2011. For example, earlier in 2011, SU asked Gillibrand to support developing biodiesel in Afghanistan, according to lobbying reports. It also lobbied in support of launching a Forensic and Natural Sciences Institute, which is designed to train future scientists. SU does its own lobbying and hires an outside lobbyist, Daniel French. SU has a relatively small internal lobbying staff compared to other national universities, Quinn said.

Monmouth University to receive extensive collection of Springsteen memorabilia By Marwa Eltagouri

STAFF WRITER
he special collection of rock legend Bruce Springsteen will now be housed at Monmouth University — in his hometown. Beginning Nov. 1, the university is scheduled to receive the most extensive collection of Springsteen memorabilia, which includes concert programs, books, newspaper and magazine articles, and other materials dedicated to Springsteen and the members of his band, according to a Monmouth news release. The collection, which consists of nearly 14,900 documents from 44 countries, reflects a clear international interest in Springsteen’s career. The collection would be used by academics from all over the world. Students, faculty and the Monmouth community will also have access to the ephemera, said Petra Ludwig, director of public affairs at Monmouth. The memorabilia was originally located at Asbury Park Public Library in New Jersey, but it was moved because of the increasing size of the collection, Ludwig said. The relocation of the collection to the university concludes a four-year search for a new site. “We wanted a site in New Jersey that combined the right of public access with proper environmental controls, security and an opportunity to expand the collection,” she said. The president of the Springsteen collection, Christopher Phillips, is also editor and publisher of Backstreets, a Springsteen fan magazine published quarterly that covers his music and the music of other Jersey Shore sound artists.

The magazine has collected Springsteen memorabilia for the 30 years it has been in existence, Phillips said. Phillips decided to start the special collection 10 years ago, when he began to receive calls from authors and researchers all over the nation requesting to see his resources. While he was in California, he got a second call from someone who wanted to fly from the East Coast. It was then that he thought it was time to put the collection in a library. Phillips chose to house the materials at Monmouth, where the very first Springsteen symposium — a conference where fans and academics came to present talks and papers — was held a few years ago. He also chose Monmouth due to the location’s connection with Springsteen. “It’s a part of New Jersey where there’s history, based on the number of times Springsteen’s played there,” Phillips said. “So when we were looking to move the collection, Monmouth seemed like a perfect fit.” The collection at Monmouth will be set up in a format similar to a rare book room, Phillips said. Material cannot be checked out, but anyone interested in looking at it can make an appointment for a viewing. “I mean the collection is typically aimed at academics, but anyone is welcome to view since we’re a fan organization,” Phillips said. “Much of the collection is what it is because of the generosity of the fans. Hopefully it will be for both researchers and fans, that’s the reason we started it in the first place.” Petra said that Monmouth is excited for the opportunity to host such a collection. “We are thrilled to have this collection on campus,” she said. “We have already received a wonderful response from around the world.” meltagou@syr.edu

‘my show was a revolution’ from page 1
stagnant Everson Museum, and in turn, shaking the mundane city of Syracuse. His visions for this new building would change the Everson forever. And Harithas knew that to do so, Syracuse needed Ono. “It was very sweet of him to take a chance on me,” Ono said in an email. “This was my first one-woman museum show.” The moments surrounding the avant-garde exhibition, which closed 40 years ago today, would let him claim an artistic and social stake in Syracuse. It was an event that produced a day unlike any Syracuse has ever bore, ideas unlike any the Everson had ever showcased and an approach to art that still greatly shapes the Everson and Syracuse today. “Harithas is an activist who believes in revolution,” Ono said. “My show was a revolution!”
achievement for Ono and Lennon. With her exhibition and the release of “Imagine” two days later, the weekend was a celebration, and Harithas brought that to Syracuse. But as the couple celebrated smack dab in the middle of the Garden Court, they exuded an aura of isolation. As the crowd enveloped
the couple to wish Lennon a happy birthday, then-Everson Curator of Exhibitions Sarah Trope saw the Garden Court transform from possible birthday jam to incubator of artistic lab rats. “It was like two rats trapped in a cage,” Trope said. “If they walked out of that area, everybody got hysterical
and were grabbing at them.” Fans filtered in to see the artwork consisting of such avant-garde pieces as hanging condoms, a gas mask telephone booth and a shattered Waterford crystal. Lennon even exhibited his 6-foot “Big Guitar” and about 50 Fluxus artists, including Bob Dylan, provided pieces for Ono’s show.
Act 3: 40 years of influence
Act 1: Preparing Syracuse for the pair Reeling in Ono and Lennon wasn’t hard — the couple agreed to venture to Syracuse several times to plan the exhibition. “We just believed in our work, and went where our work was welcomed,” Ono said. Harithas had big ideas. He wanted to make Syracuse’s art scene symbiotic with New York City’s — not just in October 1971, but afterward. “New York was the port city, and the Everson was the center of the universe. That’s how I saw it.” Harithas said. But Harithas’ biggest hurdle would prove to be getting people to appreciate the Fluxus art amid the hysteria of Syracuse’s very own Beatlemania. Harithas wanted to contain the inevitable frenzy the couple’s presence would cause. Leading up to the exhibition, 23 other musicians and conceptual Fluxus artists slept on floors with Lennon and Ono at Harithas’ house. He and Apple Record executives chartered a 747 plane to bring fellow Beatle Ringo Starr, Eric Clapton and others to town to surprise Lennon on his 31st birthday with a midnight concert in the Everson’s Garden Court. Though George Harrison was invited, he didn’t come, but Harithas and Apple planned for a concert anyway. Word spread and the secret got out. With about 5,000 crazed fans descending on the Everson, a handful breached a metal door near the museum’s garage and infiltrated the museum. Plans changed. There wouldn’t be a concert to distract from the main event: the art. “The place was dangerous,” Ross said. “Literally, every square inch was filled with people who were excited.”
Act 2: The couple’s collective crowning moment Oct. 9, 1971, may have been the day that trumped all others in artistic
Later, Lennon and crew tore up the Hotel Syracuse for his 31st birthday. The concert moved from the Garden Court to a hotel suite. Harithas displayed Ono’s art for another 18 days. “For all the people who cared, it was all about the art,” Ross said. “For everyone else, it was about a circus.”

rapped inside a haggard and taped-up videotape case is an account unseen from Yoko Ono’s 1971 exhibition. It is art unseen. Only the words scrawled on a piece of tape hint at what lies inside: Videofreex, Yoko, B/W 1/2, 30 MINS. Videofreex, a group of nine ragtag artists in their 20s, exemplified the video art former Everson Director Jim Harithas introduced to the Everson during the 1970s. While living at a 60-acre farm in Lanesville, N.Y., the group traveled up and down the New York State Thruway practicing and teaching video art. During the time period, the group documented many exhibitions at the Everson, including the Ono exhibition. The recently discovered video acts as the tangible thread connecting the past to the present. “This is something that we have on our list and wanted transferred for the 40th anniversary,” said Deb Ryan, the Everson Museum’s senior curator. “We want to show it, whether it is inside or outside.” But what might be on the tape? Until Ryan and others find the equipment necessary to watch the film and digitally transfer it to DVD, what’s on the video is lost to history. “It’s just a mystery to me,” said Parry Teasdale, member of the Videofreex.
In Chicago, their 1,600 tapes sit in a climate-controlled room. When each roll of half-inch, A-V format Sony tape needs to be transferred, it must be baked in a closet-sized oven to remove mold from the brittle tapes. The same would need to be done with the Ono tape — the only one that has evaded Chicago and remained in its original home, the Everson. The Videofreex said the video is probably one of two things. Most likely, it’s the documentary-like video that Freex member Nancy Cain took part in. It could also be the very Ono-like video art piece Academy Award-winning filmmaker Shirley Clarke directed. Clarke hoped to impress Ono with her video art contraption, a bracelet sleeve-like wire with a small camera that tethered Freex member Parry Teasdale to Clarke. Wrapped around the wrist, the contraption was meant more for its inherent art than the video it captured. But if it did capture anything it would have been Clarke’s flawed attempt to impress Ono. “Shirley was screaming, ‘Oh, Yoko! Oh, Yoko!’ and she was dragging me behind her,” Teasdale said. “But the video equipment was holding her back.” Cain recalls documenting the event, but no memory sticks out more than when she caught Ringo Starr on tape. “Someone shouts: ‘There he goes! Hi, Ringo!’” Cain said. “And there he was. It was a beautiful shot, clear — the light was on him and it lasted about three seconds. I felt it was the best thing we shot all weekend.” aolivero@syr.edu
Before Harithas left the Everson in 1974, he tried to keep up the momentum set by Ono’s exhibit. During Syracuse’s glory days of conceptual art, Harithas installed 80 exhibitions and 200 programs in the museum. His social activism art continued, and he hired three Auburn prison inmates, Mando, Melvin and John, as curators. Once Harithas left, the Everson scarcely exhibited the Fluxus-like art that Ono and Lennon once brought to Syracuse. “After that, everything died,” Trope said. “It became Syracuse again.” The city art scene reverted back to traditional art within the frame, with the museum occasionally exhibiting new computer art, sound art and conceptual art. But the video art that Harithas kick-started in Syracuse is still a mainstay at the Everson. After Harithas left, Ross became the Everson’s first video curator. Now, the Everson prides itself on video. “The video exhibitions continued into the mid-80s,” Deb Ryan, current Everson senior curator, said. “Those exhibitions were highly conceptual and big installations.” Times changed, but people like Ross still feel the Everson chooses to shy away from risky art. At times, Ryan showcases conceptual art like Syracuse University professor Yvonne Buchanan’s recent piece, a gospel song that uses inaudible noises and a black screen to let listeners conceptualize an image. It is eerily similar to the 1968 Beatles song “Revolution 9,” comprised of abstract inaudible noises and known as Lennon’s first music art piece influenced by Ono’s Fluxus. The Everson is no longer conceptual. Harithas accepts that. But if he can encourage anything, it is to have an imagination like the one he had in 1971, when he introduced his take on art by giving the city of Syracuse Ono and Lennon. Two days after Lennon’s birthday, Lennon released “Imagine” on Oct. 11. And looking back on that fact and October 1971, it is perfectly reasonable for Harithas to wax nostalgic. He may have pulled off the greatest harmony game of all. “Part of ‘Imagine’ may have been written in Syracuse,” Harithas said. “I’m not sure of that, but it seems like it was part of it. And imagine — of course that is what artists have: imagination. It really fit right in.” aolivero@syr.edu

Drew took an aggressive stance by bending his knees and squatting down, the records stated. At that time, Drew was taken to the ground and officers forced his hands behind his back so he could be handcuffed. Drew’s eyes were bloodshot and he was slurring his speech, police noted. When asked where he was coming from, Drew told the officers he left his house to follow a woman he has been dating to see where she was going. He told police that he took his roommate’s vehicle and began to look around the university area for the woman. Fellow Syracuse lacrosse player Tim Desko, son of John Desko, is Drew’s roommate.

Socially conscious blues-folk band to play on tour in Syracuse By Joe Infantino CONTRIBUTING WRITER
The members of The Last Internationale lead an exhausting lifestyle. Constantly moving across the country and overseas, the band members said they look forward to the last few shows of their tour when they can leave everything onstage. Sleep deprived, the band will take the stage Friday at the Westcott Community Center to play one of its last shows on its North American tour and first-ever show in Syracuse. Blues-folk band to Larry Hoyt, concert play songs from debut coordinator for the album at Syracuse Westcott Community Where: Westcott Center, first heard The Community Center When: Friday, 8 p.m. Last Internationale on a compilation CD and knew this band’s political activism needed to be shared. “The only song by them was their rendition of “Step By Step” — an old union poem set to music by Pete Seeger, and I thought their recording was quite extraordinary,” Hoyt said in an email. Lead guitarist Edgey formed The Last Internationale when he heard about Delila, now the band’s lead vocalist, and immediately felt compatibility between his writing style and Delila’s voice. The band started as a folk duo but recently incorporated a third member, Chris. All three members of the band prefer to be called by first name only. This trio has since grown into its own genre of music, dubbed Blues with Boots: a testimony to its eloquent intensity and purity.

“The boots is the stomping out of all the fillers and all the things you don’t like about the modern and digital recordings that you hear,” Edgey said. “It’s a very stripped down and raw way of going into the studio. If you hear an imperfection in the track you leave it, it’s like trying to claim a new sound.” The Last Internationale’s self-titled debut album introduced listeners to a revamped Bob Dylan-style of social injustice songwriting. The 11-song release is an assortment of garage bandsounding drums and heavy guitar distortion, woven together with simple chord progressions strummed on an acoustic guitar. The band is back two years later with its second full-length release, “Choose Your Killer,” and has increased the intensity of their music. The trio kept its socially conscious songs, but packaged them in an even more electric guitarheavy record. The heavy distortion paves the way for what the band refers to as an explosive live performance. The Last Internationale has a lot in store for the future. Starting in November, the members will begin their European tour, and shortly after, they will make an appearance in a documentary called “Freedom Rocks!” which will feature the likes of U2’s Bono. The band looks forward to performing in Syracuse for the first time. the trio will play two sets . One will be a stripped down acoustic performance, and the second will be filled with amps and drums. Delila said: “It’s going to be a more intimate environment than some of our other shows.”

With beads of sweat dotting their skin, seven barefooted Buglisi Dance Theatre company members stopped their Monday rehearsal and focused on the choreographer. “Martha used to say ‘movement doesn’t lie,’” said Artistic Director The modern Jacqulyn Buglisi, dance company referring to the presents Faure’s iconic modern Requiem chor e o g r apher Where: The Oncenter Crouse Martha Graham.

Following its Sept. 21 performance of “The Table of Silence Project 9/11,” the 17-year-old modern dance company will once again infuse its emotive style into the performance at the Oncenter Crouse Hinds Theater on Saturday. Based in New York City, this critically acclaimed company was founded by four Martha Graham Dance Company members. Instead of working with local performers this time, BDT will team up with Syracuse University’s Symphony Orchestra and University Singers for the first time to round out its three-week residency at the university through SU’s Arts Engage office. “It’s a special gift to work with these young students and people like James Tapia and John Warren, who are able to bring their students into professional theater and have this kind of unity of energy and inspiration that comes together in a very passionate performance,” Buglisi said. On Saturday, the 11 performers will present dances “Sand,” “Blue Cathedral,” “Prelude” and “Against All Odds” to various musical recordings. The orchestra and the singers will then accompany the final piece of the show, Gabriel Faure’s “Requiem,” inspired by the light seeping through ground zero. Though BDT has danced the piece since its creation in 2001, cofounder and principal dancer Terese Capucilli explained that Saturday’s rendition of the performance will mark a first for the group.

Despite rejection as official organization, students’ food co-op still planting seeds of progress
By Sarah Schuster

CONTRIBUTING WRITER
irrah Stoller can describe her dream with three words: “Local, fresh and organic.” Her dream? A food co-op at Syracuse University that would bring local farms’ organic produce and other goods for students to purchase. A group of students formed the SU/State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry co-op to make this dream a reality. However, the New Student Organization Recognition Committee denied the SU/ESF co-op’s proposal to become an official recognized student organization. This has not slowed down or discouraged Stoller, a sophomore fi lm major who remains passionate about what a food co-op could offer the university. The idea originated from SU alumnus Scott Colliso, who wrote an op-ed column for The Daily Orange about the inaccessibility of co-ops in the area and encouraged the establishment of a student-run SU co-op. A senior at the time, he passed on his dream to the enthusiastic Stoller, who has been running the SU/ESF co-op student group since last spring. Co-ops are not foreign to Stoller. Originally from Olympia, Wash., Stoller said she grew up at her local co-op.
“It would be like bringing a piece of home here,” she said. “I was raised by a bunch of righteous hippies who are very into community, art, peace and fighting anything that gets in the way of those values.” Making this dream a reality has been challenging. According to an email, the committee that has prevented the SU/ ESF co-op from starting is concerned about “logistically, how the structure

of the grocery store would appear on campus” and “licensing issues using both Syracuse and ESF’s mascot.” Stoller said they were planning to call the co-op “Oakie and Otto.” They weren’t planning on using the actual logos, but Michelle Molloy, an ESF graduate food systems major, made watercolors of the two mascots to advertise the co-op. Louis Traino, an undeclared fresh-
man in the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications, said he would only shop at a co-op if it were in a convenient location. “That’s not something I would really go out of my way for,” he said. The committee didn’t deny the concept of a student-run co-op, said Caroline Savage, who works closely with the group and runs a series of seminars and dinners through Hendricks Chapel called Ethics of Eating. The root of the rejection was in the actual application form itself. “This group will go through the struggle of learning to speak the language of the RSO office, and they will become stronger for it,” Savage said. “As long as there are enough students to support this effort, it will be successful.” Stoller said she is planning on applying again next year. In the meantime, they will focus on the entrepreneurship aspect of starting a co-op and gathering more members. Although she doesn’t doubt student interest when it comes to purchasing at a co-op store, getting people to actually work at it is potentially challenging. “It’s a lot. We need more people who can dedicate more time to this,” she said. And it will be a lot of work, Stoller said. She plans to have a rating system accompany the food sold at the SU/ESF co-op, with information such as where the food SEE CO-OP PAGE 14

Cozying up I
By Jillian D’Onfro STAFF WRITER
want someone to take me out on a date to The Blue Tusk. From the relaxed atmosphere to the delicious, mildly priced food, this downtown pub provides the perfect spot for a first date. Five o’clock on a rainy Saturday, I entered the restaurant with my dining partner. Warmth instantly enveloped us. The Blue Tusk rang with laughter, conversation and the clink of glasses at the bar. Situated at 165 Walton St. in Armory Square, The Blue Tusk felt like the kind of place that constantly garners a crowd. The bar stretches down the left side of the pub. Tables of all different sizes fill the area to the right of the front door. Some are long, wooden and gleaming, highlighting the dark green walls, while several booths are tucked cozily into the walls. We chose one of the alcoves and slid in with our menus. Twenty-three different sandwich and panini options challenged us to make a tough choice. We settled on splitting the Fresh Mozzarella Panini ($7.75) and the Three Pigs and Provolone

Piccante Sandwich ($12). We went up to the front counter to place our orders, and the hostess handed us a buzzer in return. Instead of heading immediately back to the table, I decided to explore. Round and rectangular tables cluster in front of the bar with people perched around them on stools or leaning casually, drinks in hand. A big television in the corner glowed green with the night’s big football game on. The Blue Tusk offers 69 different beers on tap, as well as a large variety of different wines, with antique-looking bottles lining the top of the bar. On the other side of the pub, a boar’s head was mounted on the wall, and I couldn’t help but wonder if it was Mr. Blue Tusk himself. Video games like Big Buck World and electronic darts also sat nestled in two of the corners. When I walked past our table, the red gleam of the buzzer caught my eye: our food was ready. We grabbed our sandwiches from the front; the Three Pigs sandwich towered above the plate. It contained three varieties of thinly sliced meat — prosciutto (ham), mortadella (sausage) and soppressata (salami). Roasted red peppers, banana peppers, red onion and provolone
cheese also garnished the Italian stretch bread, making the sandwich a collage of bright colors. I could hardly open my mouth wide enough to take the first bite. Salty and spicy, juicy and thick and gigantic: truly a king among sandwiches. The three meats complementing one another, all subtle flavor differences blended into one big Italian flavor burst. On the dramatically less carnivorous side, the Mozzarella Panini on herb focaccia boasted sun-dried tomatoes, fresh basil and balsamic vinaigrette. The crisp bread coupled with the thick yet soft mozzarella blew me away. Heavily laden with basil and exceptionally fresh, the sandwich tasted like summer even on a rainy Syracuse night. Our sandwiches were so big neither of us could stomach both halves. Even though The Blue Tusk bustled with diners, being hidden away in our private alcove gave the entire meal an intimate, cozy feel. Dim lighting, a young crowd, great food and an opportunity to drink something other than Keystone Light? Ladies and gentlemen, plan your next date to The Blue Tusk. jidonfro@syr.edu

ex and alcohol. These two things seem almost synonymous on college campuses. But maybe they’re not. Researchers at the University at Buffalo are trying to dispel the stereotype that alcohol and sex on university campuses are related. They published a study earlier this month that focused on 154 heavy-drinking college students whose sexual behavior put them at risk for HIV infection and other STDs. They found that when put through alcoholfocused motivational counseling, the students changed drinking habits, but their sexual behavior did not. The number of sexual partners they had didn’t decrease, and they did not use protection more often. The researchers found this surprising. Students here don’t.

College is a time for experimentation, she added. The amount someone is drinking doesn’t change that. “There is no causation between alcohol consumption and sexual activity,” said Gabe Raskas, a senior philosophy major. “Sex is going to happen, but alcohol doesn’t cause sex.” Joseph Fanelli, Syracuse University profes-
sor of human sexuality, disagrees. “Having been on campus for over 30 years, I’m hard-pressed not to see that drinking and sex is like pouring gasoline on a fire,” he said in an email, adding that hookups on campus tend to be unplanned and fueled by alcohol. After drinking alcohol, 1 in 4 16- to 24-yearolds have had unprotected sex, while 1 in 5 have had sex they regretted. One in 10 can’t remember if he or she had sex the night before, said Fanelli, citing a 154-student sample from a 28,000-student population. Looking at SU student behavior, it’s easy to assume that drinking and sex go hand in hand. I can’t even count the number of times I’ve overheard conversations about drunken hookups. But think about it: If alcohol is subtracted from the mixture, people are not going to stop having sex. “Humans are sexual beings,” Raskas said. Whether alcohol is in the mix or not, humans are inclined to engage in sexual activities. A
study from the University of Texas found there are 237 reasons that people have sex. There was only one reason that involved drinking. Despite this, both Hartley and Raskas agree that alcohol and sex are sometimes related. They both acknowledged that someone is more likely to engage in sexual activity with multiple partners after the consumption of alcohol. Kurt Dermen, the lead investigator of the UB study, said via email that the study doesn’t state that alcohol intoxication never leads people to make decisions they later regret — and I agree. “This study suggests that just reducing overall levels of alcohol use in a group of students doesn’t lead to changes in that group’s overall levels of risky sexual behavior,” Dermen said. “Changes in sexual behavior, when they happen, seem to result from a variety of influences that have little to do with drinking.”
local products, she said, in winter they would have to go for the next best thing. She said the main goal is to get people thinking about what they are eating. “Letting people make their own choices,” she said. “That’s what this is about.” Such choices, she said, are limited at the SU dining halls. “I don’t like feeling pressure to always eat in the dining hall and eat all of their food constantly because I’m being charged about $16 per meal every day. It’s messed up, especially
if we don’t even know exactly where that food’s coming from.” Lynne Mowers, secretary to the director at SU Food Services, wrote in an email, “We purchase local products, including produce, when they are available through local distributors. Our growing season is limited in Central New York, so we are not able to purchase locally grown produce most of the year.” Mowers also said forming a student-run co-op would be a major undertaking and time commitment. She suggested students utilize what’s
already here, like the Syracuse Real Food co-op and the South Campus Express store. Though the SU/ESF co-op store won’t be cropping up this year, it is something for future students to look forward to. “It might be too late for our parent’s generation to rethink the way they eat,” Savage said. “But college students have the chance to be exposed to real food that comes from the earth, to experience how good it is and to question what they are eating.”
buglisi
Ensuring that the music’s tempo parallels what the company is familiar with is also crucial for the SU Singers, director John Warren said, especially when being synchronized with the dancers’ movements. The dancers’ use of breath and deeply contracted torsos are key identifiers of Buglisi’s work. While some movements are rooted in techniques pioneered by Graham, Buglisi’s choreography is unique in its focus on capturing human vulnerability and strength. Through past pieces of its program, BDT hopes to convey themes of peace and renewal to the audience. “When they see the performance there is something that they can relate to within what we’re speaking about,” Buglisi said. “That they see an image that resonates with them, that might move them in some way.”

lenge that the performers took on by working closely during their four rehearsals. “It creates a lot of sensitivity between the performer and the conductor in a big way,” Capucilli said. “You have to listen with every pore in your body.” Although the five movements in “Requiem” are not technically difficult, the real test is collaboration, said Matthew Scinto, a senior viola performance major and SU Symphony Orchestra violist. “We have to find some ground of commonality and agreement on certain things,” Scinto said. “For the most part, we have to follow what the dance company wants us to do because they’ve performed this before under certain conditions.”

part 4 of 5
In the distance Medrano looks to cap off decorated Syracuse career with strong performance at Big East championship
By Alex Ptachick
A
Staff Writer
s an overweight seventh grader, Tito Medrano never envisioned becoming an athlete. He never wanted to run or even join a sports team, but his parents encouraged him to make the necessary lifestyle change to improve his health. Medrano took his parents’ advice and started training with his father, Francisco Medrano, a former professional boxer. After two years, Medrano joined his high school’s cross country team. “He kind of got me out the door to go run, and he was training himself at the time, so he would take me out and push me,” Medrano said. Medrano transformed from an overweight teenager to one of Jefferson (Ind.) High School’s best runners. He placed 16th at the Indiana State Meet his senior year and was named a Foot Locker Finalist in the men’s 5K. Medrano’s high school accomplishments earned him recognition from numerous colleges, and he ultimately decided to attend Syracuse to run both cross country and track and field. Four years later, Medrano is one of the Orange’s top runners. In 2009, he became Syracuse’s first All-American in 27 years and contributed to the men’s 2009 and 2010 Big East championship titles, placing 12th and 16th, respectively. Now entering the Big East championship part of his final cross country season, Medrano plans to solidify his reputation as one of the greatest runners Syracuse has seen in almost three decades. In his final season at SU, he is hoping to lead his team to a third straight Big East title this Saturday in Louisville, Ky. The Orange has taken a step back in 2011, falling out of the top 30 in the national poll after opening the season ranked No. 14 in the U.S. Track and Field and Cross Country Coaches Association Preseason National Poll. But with Medrano leading the way, SU remains confident it can reclaim the conference crown.
For Medrano, his success began when his parents realized their son needed to become more active in seventh grade. The training sessions with his father helped shape him into the runner he is today. After training on his own, Medrano emerged as one of his team’s best runners in ninth grade — his first season as a competitive athlete. He was a four-year captain at Jefferson High School, in Lafayette, Ind. He was a four-time sectional champ in track and field and three-time sectional and regional cross country champion. But even after being such a decorated high school runner, Medrano’s high school coach tried to talk him out of running at the next level. “My coach in high school told me that I shouldn’t aim my goals too high because I wasn’t meant to be a runner,” Medrano said.
“(My coach in high school) told me I was too short and not good enough, and actually, that is what motivated me to prove him wrong.”

“He told me I was too short and not good enough, and actually, that is what motivated me to prove him wrong. I wanted to just throw that back in his face.” At the 2007 Foot Locker Cross Country Championships — the biggest meet at the high school level — Medrano met some opponents that would become his teammates at Syracuse a year later. Redshirt junior Griff Graves committed to Syracuse early in his senior year of high school. When he heard Medrano, a runner he met at Foot Locker Championships, was torn between attending SU and Mississippi State, he gave
him a call. “I just kind of talked it over with him, and I just told him, ‘Look, I’d love to run with you and these other guys, and I think that we can make a big impact on this team,’” Graves said. “I told him that I thought we could get something really special started at Syracuse.” Graves was right. Medrano, Graves and Pat Dupont played a key role in changing the face of the men’s cross country team by winning SU’s first-ever Big East championship in 2009. Medrano was the team’s top runner, earning All-American honors. His season was highlighted by a third-place finish at the Wisconsin Adidas Invitational, a 12th-place finish at the Big East championship and a 39th-place finish at the NCAA championships. After the historic 2009 season, though, it was tough for Medrano to surpass his accomplishments the following year. In 2010, Medrano finished 17th at the Adidas Invitational, 16th overall at the Big East championship and 71st at the NCAA championships. Although Medrano didn’t have a great season in 2010, his teammates still viewed him as a team leader. “Tito brings consistency,” Graves said. “He’s been the most consistent runner out of all of us since we’ve been at Syracuse, and he’s the runner that we can always count on.” From highs to lows, Medrano has never given up on himself or the team. He tries to make the best of every situation and take the obstacles as they come. “We face a lot of failure. And for us, I guess the same goes for any sport, it’s really difficult to bounce back,” Medrano said. “Sometimes we just don’t accomplish what we know we are capable of. To overcome that, it takes resilience. I have to believe and have confidence in myself.” Medrano described the first half of 2011 — his final cross country season — as a slump for not only himself, but also for the entire team. The disappointing regular season hit a low point when the team placed 22nd out of 39 teams at the Wisconsin Adidas Invitational on Oct. 14. That race showed how the team sized up with some Big East rivals as Providence, Villanova and Notre Dame finished ahead of the Orange. Head coach Chris Fox has done all he can to stay positive and reflect his optimism on his runners. He said that he knows the team is in good shape physically, but mentally something isn’t clicking. Medrano, who strives to remain positive when facing challenges, plans to lead the team to another Big East championship despite the team’s struggles. “I’m looking forward to Big East because we hate our Big East rivals, and we really want to take it to them,” Medrano said. “I like racing those guys because they hate us just as much as we hate them.” With a lot to prove this weekend, Medrano plans to be a front-runner and motivate his younger teammates to finish the season strong.
sophomore surge Tito Medrano became Syracuse’s first All-American in 27 years as a sophomore in 2009. He finished 39th at the NCAA championship that year after finishing 51st at the NCAA Northeast Regional. But since then, Medrano has struggled. He failed to earn All-American status as a junior last season and finished 71st at the NCAA championship. This season, Medrano hopes he can return to his 2009 form in his senior year for the Orange. Here’s a look at his career with SU:

And going into his final Big East championship, Medrano has set some high goals. Using the same determination that turned him into a top runner, he believes they are within reach. “First and foremost, my personal goal is to get a Big East championship as a team,” Medrano said. “For me individually, I don’t see why I can’t try and go for a Big East individual championship, place in the top 20 at nationals and become an All-American again.” acptachi@syr.edu

“It’s two different worlds,” wide receivers coach Rob Moore said. “As a DB, you backpedal. You run backward all day. As a receiver, you’re running forward.” But Moore quickly realized Graham had the skill set to develop into a solid wide receiver. Graham was and still is one of the fastest players on the team, as evidenced by his job as kick returner. He had the football knowledge to understand the workings of the offense and the details of the receiver position. And perhaps most importantly, his work ethic would push him to put in the necessary work to make the transition. “I have a hard time saying who works harder than Dorian working on his skill level and things like that,” Marrone said. “He takes a lot of pride in what he does. We do have a lot of players on our team like that, but he seems to have always been that way consistently with his work ethic.”

four goals, SU struggled to find the back of the net Wednesday. And though the game’s only goal was the difference in SU’s loss, the Orange could have avoided any overtimes had it scored on any of its multiple set pieces throughout the game. But every chance the Orange got was turned away by Villanova goalkeeper John Fogarty. “Their goalkeeper pulled off some good saves,” SU head coach Ian McIntyre said. “On another night, maybe we score a couple. I think we had good chances, played some good stuff and sometimes you give credit to another team.” SU midfielder Nick Roydhouse, one of SU’s top scoring threats, had multiple chances to score the go-ahead goal. With just under 14 minutes to go in regulation, Cribley came down the field and got a foul call in his favor. The foul set up a free kick for Roydhouse, who placed the ball in the center of the field and

Sales Jr., was included in a grand jury indictment Wednesday that accuses him of possessing drugs, according to The Post-Standard. Vavonese said he only represents Sales, so he could not confirm the indictment of Michael Sales. Sales had been suspended indefinitely from the Syracuse football team after being arrested and charged with drug possession in July. Sales is still enrolled as a student at SU, Kevin Quinn, senior vice president for public affairs, said in an email. Syracuse head coach Doug Marrone directed questions on Sales to Quinn and the university after the team’s

And though it took a year to come together, the switch to offense is paying off. He failed to make a catch in his first season at receiver but has caught a pass in every game this year. “His niche was as a receiver,” senior cornerback Kevyn Scott said. “And I’m glad they found that perfect spot for him because he’s excelling at what he’s doing.” Scott matches up with Graham every time the Orange does one-on-one drills in practices. He talked about three things that make Graham a challenge to cover in practice. There’s his speed, which Scott said the receiver has carried over from track speed to football speed. Graham gave West Virginia a firsthand look at that on his kick-return touchdown last week when he changed direction at the 30-yard line and outran everyone to the end zone. There’s his explosion off the ball, which Graham put on display against Tulane when he scored the first touchdown of his career. With SU facing a third down at the Green Wave 10-yard line, Graham simply blew past his man off the ball, and Nassib dropped the ball in over
his shoulder in the corner of the end zone. And last, there’s his physicality, which Graham believes comes from his experience as a defensive back. On his second career touchdown, which also came against Tulane, the receiver beat his man on a slant and caught the pass, but he got crushed by Green Wave safety Kyle Davis. Still, Graham managed to take the hit and hold onto the football for the score. That success against Tulane didn’t fade during the bye week. Graham emerged as the only consistent wide receiver for Syracuse in its upset over West Virginia. And his increased production comes at a vital time for Syracuse with Van Chew, SU’s No. 1 receiver, struggling. He’s just another weapon for Nassib that seems to be emerging at exactly the right time. “His confidence has really risen over the course of the last few months even,” Moore said. “And now I think he’s really arrived to the point where he really believes he’s capable of doing all the things we ask of him.”
stared toward the goal. But his shot didn’t go in. There were also several instances when Cribley positioned himself well and used his speed to get an open field, but he too could not convert. Cribley said SU just needed to get one goal and the offensive rhythm from the Cincinnati win would be back. But it never happened. “I think the game against Cincinnati the other night proved that we are capable of really putting in the performance when we get chances to finish,” Cribley said. “Tonight we were expecting and hoping that that would happen again. Sometimes it doesn’t work.” Boerger had multiple saves that got the Syracuse crowd on its feet and kept the Orange in the game. But the offense couldn’t produce. In both overtimes, the Orange came out on the offensive on both sides of the ball. In the second overtime, SU had back-to-back corner kicks that were not successful. Roydhouse sent a strike to Lars Muller the first time, but Muller couldn’t get it done. Nick Perea passed
in the next one, but again, SU couldn’t convert. The back-and-forth between Villanova and SU was constant, as evidenced by the 20 shots taken by both teams. And Villanova finally ended it when Margiotta put away his breakaway opportunity. McIntyre said this game doesn’t have a huge effect in the standings, and he talked with his team after the game to explain his rationale for throwing its numbers forward at the end. But the loss is still bothersome to the senior Roydhouse, the team captain who played in his final home game of his SU career. “I should have scored,” Roydhouse said. “I should have won the game for us at the end. “Losing is never fun. So right now, everyone’s a little bit let down. I feel like we had the chances to win the game. It was our own fault that we didn’t score. Their keeper made a couple good saves, but they’re chances that we should be putting away. Last game we did. This game we didn’t.”

Marrone said the team had a meeting after the news broke, and now his focus is on preparing SU for its game against Louisville on Saturday. “It’s good for Marcus to have this legal process behind him,” Marrone said. “As you know, the university has a student judicial process. Until that is complete, I cannot discuss any details.” Vavonese said Sales is “very anxious to getting back to returning to school and to the team.” Sales and his brother were arrested July 29 after they were pulled over for running a red light near Midland Avenue and Ballantyne Road in Syracuse. Police found 180 Lortab (hydrocodone and acetaminophen) tablets, three knotted pieces

The grand jury decided there was not enough evidence to prove Sales knowingly possessed drugs, but found enough to indict his brother on charges of fifth- and seventhdegree criminal possession of a controlled substance, second-degree criminally using drug paraphernalia and unlawful possession of marijuana, according to the article. The indictment has been sealed, according to the article.

Finding
his place
After struggling at defensive back, Graham thrives as wide receiver By Zach Brown
A
nate shron | staff photographer DORIAN GRAHAM has had a breakout season for SU after making the transition from defensive back to wide receiver before last season. Graham scored his first-ever receiving touchdowns against Tulane.
STAFF WRITER
s recently as two years ago, Dorian Graham had never stepped onto a football field to line up at the wide receiver position. He played strictly defensive back in high school and came to Syracuse to play in the secondary. But following his sophomore season, head coach Doug Marrone told Graham the Orange could use him at wideout. “It was a move where coach told me he needed me,” Graham said. “Whatever coach feels is best, I just adjust and make things happen.” Now halfway through his senior year, the defensive back turned wide receiver is having his best season at SU on either side of the ball. He led the Orange in receiving yards in its last two games and has three touchdowns over that span, one coming on a kick return. Graham’s natural speed, work ethic and the physicality he developed as a defender have helped him make the transition to receiver. The senior will look to build on his success when Syracuse (5-2, 1-1 Big East) travels to Louisville (3-4, 1-1) to play the Cardinals at noon Saturday. “For the coaches to trust me from
where I came from, it’s a great feeling,” Graham said. “I want to just make them proud, make my family proud and help this team get to a Big East championship.” Though the wideout has 18 catches for 207 yards and two touchdowns as the third receiver for the Orange this season, his success did not come

Wasted opportunities doom Orange By Rachel Marcus STAFF WRITER
Syracuse threw all of its numbers forward, trying to score the game’s first goal on a corner kick for the win. But with just less than a minute left in the second overtime, the ball was cleared out of the VilVILLANOVA 1 lanova box SYRACUSE 0 (2OT) and the Wildcats counter attack was underway. Matt Margiotta streaked down the field and broke free, getting open to receive a pass as he sprinted toward the SU goal. With 44 seconds left,
Margiotta put a shot past Syracuse goalkeeper Phil Boerger, who came charging out of the net to try and make the save. A stunning game-winner, one even more disappointing for Syracuse after it missed many game-winning opportunities on its offensive end. “Yeah,” SU midfielder Ted Cribley said, pausing to digest the defeat. “It’s a tough loss. We thought that we deserved to win. Sometimes that happens. And we sort of just have to bite our lip and get on with it.” The Orange (3-11-1, 1-6-1 Big East)
blew prime scoring opportunities in its 1-0 double overtime loss on a rainy Wednesday night in front of 281 fans at SU Soccer Stadium. The game-winning goal for Villanova (6-74, 3-4-1 Big East) would not have even been needed had SU converted on one of its 20 shots first. Syracuse now finds itself in a mustwin game at DePaul on Saturday if it hopes to extend its season by making the Big East tournament.
