Votes stay consistent with 2012

By Maggie Cregan Asst. News Editor

By 6 p.m. on Tuesday, 17.6 percent of the student body — or slightly more than 2,600 students — had cast ballots in the Student Association elections, said Dan Hernandez, chair of the Board of Elections and Membership. student a ssoci at ion He added that at about the same time last year, election 2,621 students had voted.

The Board of Elections and Membership will run polling stations in Huntington Beard Crouse Hall and the Life Sciences Complex on Wednesday afternoon, Hernandez said. At the polling stations, students can find information on the candidates and access laptops to cast their votes.

The SA ballot includes choices of presidential and vice presidential candidates and two referenda: whether the student activity fee should be frozen, and whether SA codes should be changed to redefine the roles of speaker, president and vice president.

P r e sident i a l c a nd id ate Duane Ford and his running mate Nia Boles want to ease the financial burden of tuition, make academic advising a work-study position and increase dialogue between different groups of students; Boris Gresely and his running mate Daniela Lopez have a three-part campaign of “reform, reconnect and redirect” to make SA more accountable to students; and Ivan Rosales and his running mate Simone Goldslager are running on a platform of improving academics, diversity and student engagement.

CUT LOOSE

By Alfred Ng

Asst. News Editor

or the 2013-2014 academic year, the Graduate Student Organization expected $465,050 in funds for graduate student services.

Instead, what it received was $390,500, about $74,500 less than anticipated.

Now, as a result of this overestimation, GSO will cut more than $80,000 in spending from its budget to try to lower that deficit, said Patrick Neary,

GSO’s president.

GSO estimates how much annual revenue it would receive by requesting the amount of graduate students from Enrollment Management and multiplying that by the graduate student activity fee amount, or $40, he said. The mistake came when the GSO comptroller in 2011 failed to specify to the Division of Enrollment Management in the Provost’s Office that they did not count College of Law stu-

GSO to decrease funding for service providers, student organizations to reduce high deficit Reality check dents and non-matriculated graduate students who do not pay the activity fee. With the error, the GSO counted 900 extra students, believing it had $36,000 more than it actually did for two years in a row, Neary said.

The miscalculation unfortunately coincided with GSO’s high surplus spending at the time, he added. In 2007, when Neary joined GSO, the group had a surplus of $400,000-

Forensic science department continues to expand with research lab

By Claire Moran Staff Writer

Syracuse University’s forensic science department is continuing its two-year expansion with the recent addition of a new, up-to-date lab suite.

In about two years, the department has grown from two classes to 38 classes. There is currently a forensic

science integrated learning major and a forensic science minor available for undergraduate students, as well as a few forensic science tracks for graduate students, according to the College of Arts and Sciences website.

At the new forensic science lab, which was dedicated on Friday and officially opened for the Forensic and

National Security Sciences Institute, there are separate rooms for extracting and amplifying DNA -- each equipped with industry- standard technology. Two scientists from the Syracuse Research Corporation transferred the equipment to the FNSSI. The FNSSI involves curriculum, research and outreach, said Michael

Sponsler, director of the forensic and national security sciences program.

The new lab is mainly a research facility that will be used for undergraduate and graduate students’ independent, educational research, he said.

In both forensics programs, Sponsler said there has been a marked expansion -- there are currently about

70 undergraduate students enrolled in the forensic science integrated learning major and about 30 graduate students. He said the program has also increased its interactions with federal and county external agencies to place students in research opportunities.

DC program to work with think tank Former US senator speaks

By Caroline Strange Staff Writer

Students participating in the Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs’ Washington, D.C., program can expect to see a change in scenery starting next semester.

The Maxwell School is collaborating with the Center for Strategic and International Studies to host the school’s Washington, D.C., semester at CSIS facilities. The organization is an international policy institution that focuses on defense and security, regional stability and economic integration, according to Maxwell’s website.

All Maxwell-in-Washington classes, faculty and staff will move from the Greenberg House, the pro-

gram’s current home, to CSIS’s new facilities, which include “state-ofthe-art electronics and audiovisual facilities,” according to Maxwell’s website. But the switch from the Greenberg House will not affect the cost of the program because students will still have the same housing, said Ryan Williams, the director of the program.

The CSIS is a think tank that combines education and policymaking, Williams said, adding that the Maxwell school is “built in that same vein.” Williams said that the switch has only been in progress for the last six months, since James Steinberg, dean of Maxwell, became interested in working more closely with CSIS.

Universities and think tanks like CSIS are both vital in the development of public policy, Steinberg said on Maxwell’s website.

“We couldn’t be more pleased to partner with an institution as prestigious and dynamic as CSIS on this new endeavor — one that will provide our students with extraordinary opportunities to interact and engage with influential policy makers and thinkers,” he said on the website.

So far, no other changes to the program have been proposed, Williams said, but they may look into changing the program as time goes on. He added that the hope is for CSIS members to be interested in partnering with faculty for research see maxwell page 8

on ongoing global conflicts

By Charlie Mastoloni Staff Writer

Former U.S. Sen. George Mitchell discussed how the world changed — in terms of conflicts and issues in international relations — following the Pan Am Flight 103 bombing at a University Lecture on Tuesday.

Mitchell, who gave the first University Lecture in 2001, returned to Syracuse University as part of the university’s commemoration of the bombing’s 25th anniversary. Thirty-five SU students died on the plane, which went down over Lockerbie, Scotland.

Doug Biklen, dean of the School of Education, introduced the former Senate majority leader and co-founder

of the nonprofit Bipartisan Policy Center. Afterward, James Steinberg, dean of the Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs, moderated the discussion and asked questions.

Mitchell began the lecture on a light-hearted note, telling the story of one of his many public speaking events. He joked about how an elderly woman once mistook him for Henry Kissinger in Stamford, Conn., and how he signed the poster regardless.

He then took a more serious tone, turning the discussion to data collection by the National Security Agency. He said he believed mistakes were made but still felt the

Sigma Delta Tau sorority endorses Gresely, Lopez for SA presidential race On behalf of the Sigma Delta Tau Omega chapter, we are proud to endorse Boris Gresely and his running mate, Daniela Lopez, for presidential and vice presidential candidates of the Student Association 58th Session.

As a sorority, which recently received an award from the Student Association for philanthropic participation, Sigma Delta Tau strives to provide service projects, educational programs and fund raising campaigns for the benefit of Prevent Child Abuse America.

We feel that Boris and Daniela share our beliefs and can lead our campus in the right direction.

We are proud to stand behind Boris and Daniela’s platform of “An Alliance for Change”

because it stands to improve the initiative of the Student Association and make it a place for more student involvement, emphasizing a key point in their election platform: to reconnect the students with the Syracuse community.

They have been involved in the association since their first weeks at the university.

Boris has served as an assembly representative of his home college, Arts and Sciences, and Daniela as the chair of her home college, David B. Falk School of Sport and Human Dynamics, and as the University Senate.

Both candidates have seen the organization go through periods of good and bad policy and felt it gave them an opportunity to unite

Kappa Alpha Psi fraternity endorses Ford, Boles for SA race The members of the Delta Beta chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity Inc. would like to fully endorse the candidacy of Duane Ford and Nia Boles for SA president and vice president, respectively.

We feel that Duane and Nia will best represent the interests of our greek letter organization, along with many other organizations on campus.

We have had talks with Duane and Nia about the direction that they want to take SA, and fully agree and support it.

Among the other candidates currently running for office, there are none more qualified and better prepared for the roles of president and vice president.

and create an alliance to fix the issues they have experienced.

As SA president, Gresely differs from the other candidates.

He plans on bringing the Syracuse community closer together by creating a Student Affairs Summit, where different leaders on campus will come together and discuss issues they feel are the biggest concerns of the SU community.

In addition, Lopez has been working with the SU Abroad center, as well as the Slutzker Center, to integrate students who are interested in learning about other cultures.

She is also working on an incredible bike

initiative that will bring great energy to SU. Aside from their ambitious plans for SU, Boris and Daniela are ideal candidates because they share a deep love for the university.

They are outstanding leaders with a passion and drive for change that is unmatched by the other candidates.

Therefore, on behalf of the Sigma Delta Tau Omega chapter, we would like to officially endorse Boris Gresely and Daniela Lopez for president and vice president of the Student Association 58th Session.

Korean Association of SU endorses Gresely, Lopez for SA race The Korean Association of Syracuse University (KASU) proudly endorses Boris Gresely and Daniela Lopez as presidential and vice presidential candidates of the Student Association.

KASU is proud to support and stand behind Boris and Daniela, as they have presented a plan of action on how to reform, redirect and reconnect with Syracuse University.

We are confident Boris and Daniela are the most qualified and most talented candidates for the SA office.

They are the only candidates that have not proclaimed the most important issues on campus, but have proposed a plan to allow other organizations to collaborate with SA and tackle all issues deemed important by the student body.

I urge you to visit their website, boris4su.com, and explore their agenda. Boris and Daniela are the only candidates that have an actual plan that is both feasible and tangible.

Former SA members endorse Gresely, Lopez for SA presidential race Concerned former Student Association members write this letter to encourage everyone to take the time to log onto MySlice and vote for your representatives — in favor/against both referendums — and comptroller. We endorse Boris and Daniela, and hope you will join us in voting for the two most qualified candidates.

The signatories include former representatives from several home colleges who served for more than two semesters and have been highly active both within and beyond SA. Furthermore, Federico served as vice-chair of academic affairs. Iggy was a presidential candidate during fall 2012.

We endorse Boris and Daniela because they

have a genuine understanding of the workings of the SA, our active student body and the bureaucracies of the university’s administrations. The other candidates have failed to announce how they will address the underlying challenges of SA — the reason why they are running on similar platforms as countless candidates before.

Boris understands that he cannot represent every single undergraduate at SU and SUNY ESF, but can lead the organization, which aspires to represent all students. So Boris is proposing concrete solutions to work on restructuring the way students can be represented, and how representatives can communicate with constituents to collectively address the issues

United Students Against Sweatshops endorses Ford, Boles The Syracuse Chapter of United Students Against Sweatshops would like to endorse the candidacy of Duane Ford and Nia Boles for Student Association president and vice president.

We believe Ford and Boles have the experience and passion to excel as leaders here on campus and create tangible change.

We encourage the student body to learn more about Ford’s campaign and make an informed vote.

We wish Ford and Boles the best of luck in the next two days and hope they will be able to carry out their vision on the SU campus.

that are important to them, to us.

During our time in SA, we noticed repeatedly how representatives were voted in to only abandon the organization or the motivation they entered with after a few months. Boris understands this is because of a lack of leadership development and guidance from senior members. He knows that a merit system should reward representatives for accomplished initiatives rather than punish for missing meetings whose content have no effect on the student body.

Boris and Daniela are not campaigning on professed ideals or shadows of previous accomplishments. They did not run on three

pillars because they know the student body has and will continue to work in correcting these problems, and the many more that other candidates have chosen not to prioritize.

Instead Boris and Daniela have laid out an action plan so SA can be inclusive, transparent and effective — qualities absent in previous terms where Ivan and Duane both held leadership positions.

Vote an “Alliance For Change.”

Democracy Matters endorses Gresely, Lopez for SA race Democracy Matters, a bipartisan organization advocating for campaign reform on a national and local level, would like to endorse Boris Gresely and Daniela Lopez for the Student Association president and vice president. We believe both candidates share the same ideals as us for SA. Their plan of action includes three key phases to reunite the campus and tackle important issues. Their three phases are reform, reconnect and redirect

the SA to the SU community.

Democracy Matters believes that under the direction and leadership of Boris and Daniela, SA will become much more transparent, effective and efficient than it currently is. Please join us and make sure to vote Boris and Daniela for the SA Office.

Abortion legislation limits female equality too often

W

hat a woman decides to do with her body is her choice and her choice alone.

Conservative lawmakers constantly try to control women’s reproductive rights. But the right to a safe and legal abortion transcends even politics — it represents women having agency over their own bodies.

After years of politicians fighting about abortion at the state level, the debate now looms on a national scale.

Last Thursday, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) introduced a bill to limit abortions across the country. His explanation mirrored the attempt of the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act that Republicans pushed in June.

The legislation would ban abortions after 20 weeks, based on the disputed belief that a fetus can feel pain at that time period.

Dozens of states have passed laws on this premise that are usually challenged — but that’s the point, according to a 2011 Mother Jones article. Republican lawmakers want the country to get on board with this “fetal pain” concept so that some day, it could make its way to the U.S. Supreme Court.

Passage of such a bill would be devastating for women in the United States.

Currently, almost half of pregnancies among American women are unintended, and about 4 in 10 of these are terminated by abortion, according to an October report by the Guttmacher Institute. Women in their 20s account for more than half of all abortions.

While there is no substantial scientific evidence that a fetus can feel pain at the 20-week mark, there is plenty of evidence that women who are denied abortions are often left helpless. For example, they are three times more likely to end up below the federal poverty line, according to a report by The New York Times. Many women opt for abortions when they cannot financially support a child.

With this in mind, it is important to support certain politicians who are leading the fight for women’s reproductive rights, especially in states with a traditionally oppressive administration.

During the summer, Sen. Wendy

head over heels Davis (D-Texas) dominated media headlines. In June, she held an 11-hourlong filibuster to block Senate Bill 5, which would create new abortion regulations in Texas. The filibuster encouraged Senate Democrats to delay passage of the bill beyond the midnight deadline for the end of the legislative session.

Davis’ effort was an inspiration. It proved there is ample support for an equal system in which women have the right to their own bodies.

Gov. Rick Perry, however, set efforts back in the following days when he scheduled the bill to be debated again.

The bill was later passed in July.

It is especially troublesome when male political leaders, such as Perry, feel the need to control women’s reproductive organs.

Men cannot get pregnant. They do not understand what comes with an unplanned or unwanted pregnancy, and they never will. They cannot relate to the internal struggle a woman faces when considering an abortion, and they do not understand the importance of having options.

It is not any man or any government official’s right to make such a personal choice for a woman.

To challenge women’s access to abortion characterizes their struggle for equality. Women’s right to an abortion has been in effect since the monumental Supreme Court decision in 1973, Roe v.

Wade. The court ruled that under the 14th Amendment, it was a woman’s decision to have an abortion.

Limiting or banning abortions is a denial of a woman’s constitutional rights. To deny a woman the right to choose is to deny her control of her own body — and the right to choose is the right to live freely.

Domestic abroad programs provide same influential experiences as semesters overseas The semester-long academic programs offered by Syracuse University in cities like New York City, Los Angeles and Washington, D.C., are just as valuable as programs offered overseas.

Domestic abroad programs do not provide much cultural immersion, but they are imperative to students’ career pursuits and personal growth.

In collaboration with the Center for Strategic and International Studies, officials within the Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs have decided to revamp the school’s semester in D.C. program, titled SU in DC. The Center for Strategic and International Studies, an international policy institution, will now host Maxwell’s semester program at its facilities.

Studying overseas provides a unique experience. Living in a foreign country is an opportunity for culture shock and immersion

editorial by the daily orange editorial board that young adults welcome. Depending on the experience between the student and host country, his or her time abroad can be eye opening and life changing.

But just like traveling across Europe is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, for many, traveling within the United States could be, too.

SU programs located in a major U.S. city are just as beneficial to the personal growth of students. Those experiences allow students to gain independence, a new perspective and professional experience.

Students can learn about living independently in a new city within the United States, which many will do after graduation.

This opportunity also allows students to build career connec-

tions that they can maintain later in their adult life as many of the programs offer internships.

Students should not underestimate the idea of studying in a U.S. city just because it’s in the United States. These programs are just as significant and potentially more realistic for students, as they can experience more professionally minded opportunities.

While these domestic abroad programs provide students with new opportunities, they should not replace traditional study abroad programs as the two provide students with different yet equally valuable experience. The university should continue to expand study abroad programs as it expands domestic abroad programs.

The purpose of abroad programs is to experience life away from campus. That life can be as far away as Europe, or as close as one’s neighboring city.

Local motive

Staff Writer

ocal businesses and organizations will be setting up shop in Armory Square for this year’s Buy Local Bash on Nov. 25.

The event, held by SyracuseFirst, will be at the Museum of Science and Technology downtown. The purpose is to raise visibility and viability of locally owned, independent city businesses, said Chris Fowler, executive director of SyracuseFirst.

People can attend the Bash for $25, which will feature local restaurants, wineries, craft brewers, artisanal distilleries, retailers and artists, Fowler said. There will also be live art and two stages for live music, and the event will run from 6:00 p.m.-9:30 p.m., he added.

The Bash is a part of SyracuseFirst’s Buy Local Month, which includes events such as Plaid Friday on Nov. 29, an event that encourages visiting local, independent stores instead of malls on Black Friday.

This year marks the fourth annual Buy Local Bash -- the biggest one yet -- with about 60 local vendors compared to last year’s 35, Fowler said.

Graham Reynolds, manager of Recess Coffee, said the Buy Local Bash is an important event that can help local businesses set themselves apart from chain businesses.

Reynolds said the coffee shop sometimes struggles to compete with larger coffee chains in terms of marketing. “They are marketing giants, whereas we do our advertising in local magazines and papers,” he said.

He added that what the coffee shop lacks in marketing, it makes up for in promoting local pride, such as purchasing ingredients from local businesses.

Along with participating in the Buy Local Bash, Recess also attends local Salt and Pepper markets, and other table vending events, Reynolds said.

Esther Houston, owner of 83 and Company, a custom-order online pastry shop, said she encourages community members to visit the Buy Local Bash and shop local in order to be better citizens of their community.

“Buying local is so important, as it can give people a feel for the city they’ve been living in

courses and some new programs that will address our students’ specific needs,” Sponsler said.

Since its creation in 2011, the FNSSI has experienced rapid growth, said Dave Knaebel, a professor of practice. It was created to cater to undergraduate and graduate students who expressed interest in doing forensic science research.

Undergraduate students must also major in another science, such as biology or chemistry, Knaebel said. Graduate students will be able to conduct their own research project. Undergraduate students will also have limited access to the labs, he said.

Businesses to participate in 4th annual Buy Local Bash to boost revenue

illustration by andy casadonte | art director by introducing them to the products and special items specific to Syracuse,” Houston said.

83 and Company will be participating in the Buy Local Bash by featuring their specialty pastries, which are made using locally bought ingredients, she added.

Houston said she competes with larger, chain businesses in the area by specially creating her pastry for each customer.

“If you go to chain stores, it’s all cookiecutter, each item in each location has to look the same,” Houston said. “We’re not bound

by that.”

Mike Woloszyn, co-owner of Lune Chocolat, said the draw of the Buy Local Bash is being able to interact with other local businesses, as well as customers. This will be Lune Chocolat’s third year participating, and he said they’ve enjoyed finding ingredients from other local vendors for their specialty chocolate.

Lune Chocolat specializes in handmade chocolates with no preservatives and unconventional ingredients, Woloszyn said. At a pre-

vious Bash, he said they were able to purchase peppers from another local vendor which they used in their chocolate.

Woloszyn said he encourages community members to support local businesses in order to keep money in the local economy.

“We’ve estimated that for every dollar spent in the store, 75 percent stays in the community,” Woloszyn said, “I’d be willing to bet that in large retailers and chain businesses, no one can say the same.”

The next generation sequencing platform, Knaebel said, can sequence an amount of DNA that would usually take 120 years in as little as eight hours.

He added that there is a “high value” on students getting involved in research as the experience can contribute and improve their learning process.

Mike Marciano, a research scientist at FNSSI, said the dual focus of the lab is what sets it apart.

The program focuses on a combination of forensic and national security sciences, which Marciano said he believes offer a wide variety of opportunities for students.

Stephanie Gladyck, a first year graduate student in the Forensic and National Security Sciences Institute at SU, said the institute’s new additions in Lyman Hall helps her gain access to

researching mitochondrial DNA samples from bones buried at a church in the 1800s. The process, she said, was tedious because she didn’t have access to the most advanced equipment at her small Catholic university in Michigan.

At the dedication this week, James Spencer, associate dean of the College of Arts and Sciences and executive director of the program, highlighted the dual focus of the FNSSI. “Forensics looks backward to what has happened. National Security looks forward at what might happen. They intersect at the present,” Spencer said.

George Langford, the dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, said at the dedication that he hopes the opening of the new lab is a “new chapter in the life of the building and of the college.”

“They have a fully stocked lab where you can take a DNA sample, extract it, quantify it, amplify it, and then sequence it all in the same place,” Gladyck said.

$500,000, which it decided to spend to benefit graduate students.

“We have been purposely deficit spending for a number of years in order to bring that down,” he said. “Between the two of those, because both of these happened at the same time, there are substantial deficits.”

Because the surplus funds were so large, the organization didn’t realize its error until recently, when the rollover funds went down to about $160,000, Neary said.

As a result of the cuts, GSO is now taking a close look at all service providers and graduate student organizations to see where they can reduce spending. GSO has currently cut $45,300, still leaving $80,000 of deficit, he added.

Neary said that in the 2014-2015 academic year he hopes to reduce spending for service providers by $20,000, and the same for graduate student organizations. With 29 student organizations, this would result in about $500-$750 less in funding for each graduate student organization.

He said GSO is making cuts to graduate student organizations to try and force students to spend money more efficiently and frugally. Organizations can save costs by selecting cheaper catering options and only hosting events that would guarantee a high turnout, Neary said.

“We’re looking at stuff where we’re kind of cutting the fat off, and not the muscle,” Neary

said. “The ideal here is once we’re done with that, we will be in a position where we won’t have cut into grad student benefits very much, or the grad student experience, we’ll just be more much more efficient at spending grad student money.”

With all graduate student organization events, they are required to go through a preapproval process for their budget, which Pat Dawes, the GSO comptroller, would examine.

The organizations are expected to include details on the budget of the events, how much total funding is requested and what the funds will be spent on, Dawes added.

He said he looks at the budget to make sure any spending is in line with both Syracuse University and GSO’s fiscal policy.

Gabrielle Chapman, the associate dean of the graduate school and GSO’s adviser, said the student organizations were simply refocusing on how they were spending their money, as they do not have a massive surplus to rely on anymore.

“They need to get a good handle on what services they’re providing,” she said.

For the 2013-2014 budget, GSO hasn’t made any further cuts to service providers, as the budget was already approved, so the group made cuts internally this year. The organization intends on cutting the other half from service providers in the 2014-2015 year.

In this year’s budget, GSO already cut $10,000 by cutting services from the Drumlins Country Club and switching to another provider for golf courses. The organization also saved another $12,000 after reducing how much it provided to

GSO pays $8,000 and $8,500 to, respectively.

Holley Benjamin, the director of the EECCC, said there are currently eight children in the center whose parents are graduate students.

They are there on a cheaper rate than other children because of the GSO’s subsidies, she said.

She added that the GSO’s budget cuts to the day care center would be unfortunate, as its funding is a “substantial part” of the center’s operating.

“It’s supporting the program, it’s supporting the materials we’re providing,” she said. “It would be a huge impact to what we can provide all the children, really.”

Neary said the GSO has spoken with the centers about the budget cuts, and a final decision will be made in March 2014.

He stressed what’s really important is that the GSO considers a service fee increase, which hasn’t happened for nearly eight years. He said he intends on increasing the fee by $4.50, which he believes is a fair amount and would eliminate all future budget cuts. The proposal will happen in the spring of 2014, and would start in 2015 if approved.

“If we have no student fee increase, we have to make another $40,000 to $45,000 cut, and that’s when I see real programming loss,” Neary said.

“Things like potentially having to close down the Inn Complete, having to outright eliminate the programming that Career Services in the graduate school do, of having to do massive cuts to student organizations.” alng@syr.edu @ alfredwkng

He also discussed the conf lict in Syria, saying the United States would have to address when and where to focus assistance and military intervention.

“Almost every single day there is a story about Syria, but nowhere do you see anything about the Congo. Why is that? What is our responsibility? I think in the coming years our greatest question will be when and how we respond to these questions,” he said.

Mitchell also discussed issues in in the Middle East, naming the Strait of Hormuz — a sea passage in the Middle East through which much

of the world’s oil passes — as a main issue. He said it is unfair that only the United States uses its military to keep the strait safe while most countries to benefit from it are in Asia.

Mitchell then focused on the possibility of resolving the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, which he said would increase overall diplomacy in the Middle East.

But she added that the program might appeal to students studying public affairs or political science, as well as students in the S. I. Newhouse School of Public Communications because of the opportunities the

program provides.

The program also has a global security and development graduate program that can appeal to students outside of international relations, Phillips said. In addition, she said Williams, the director of the program, teaches a global policy seminar hosting speakers who are the“movers and shakers”of Washington, D.C.

the Inn Complete from $53,000 to $41,000.

The cut eliminated the South Campus bar’s operations on Mondays, which has not affected its profitability, said Kelly Rodoski, communications manager for SU News Services, in an email.

GSO currently subsidizes the Inn Complete $41,000 a year so that the bar is not shut down, Neary said. He added that the amount will likely be unaffected.

“We give the Inn Complete $41,000 basically because they operate at a $41,000 loss every year,” he said. “We basically make up that difference so that Food Services runs a flat balance sheet. They’re not allowed to run things at a loss, as per the university.”

In return for the subsidies, graduate students are provided cheap beer and a 20 percent food discount.

He said because the Inn Complete runs the risk of shutting down if the amount is lowered, the amount will likely stay the same, despite budget cuts across the board for other service providers.

Dawes, GSO’s comptroller, said he has been examining all nine graduate service providers to see if enough graduate students are using the service to justify its costs. He added that GSO believes the Inn Complete’s subsidy is justified based on how many graduate students use it, but did not specify how many students on average visited the Inn Complete.

One of the service providers being looked at is the Bernice M. Wright laboratory school and the Early Education Child Care Center, which the

he cast of “50 Shades! The Musical” gyrated, groped and spanked so hard that the fourth wall came tumbling right down.

The touring production came to Syracuse for one night only as part of the Famous Artists Broadway Theater series. At 7:30 p.m. on Nov. 12 at the Crouse-Hinds Theater at the Oncenter, an announcer said, “Good evening ladies, and gentlemen dragged here by their ladies.” And the mood for the night was set.

The musical opens with Carol

(Sheila O’Connor), Bev (Alexis Field) and Pam (Tiffany Dissette), three dried up housewives searching for a book that might fill the holes in their love lives. That book is, of course, “Fifty Shades of Grey.”

This is the perfect way to create a musical parody of such an iconic novel. “Fifty Shades of Grey” is notorious for popping up on moms’ and aunts’ (and grandmas’?) e-readers.

Making fun of the book itself is hilarious enough — the musical certainly does that — but adding the housewife book club brings another layer of parody and acknowledges the book’s place in society and pop culture.

Plus, the cast is absolutely hilarious, crossing lines at every opportunity. The first number, “Open Your Book,” ends with dancer Chris Sams waving his hand around inside Field’s skirt. That gesture alone was a pretty good indication of where the night was going.

After establishing the book club premise, the show introduces Anastasia (Eileen Patterson) and her best friend Katherine (also played by Field). Patterson plays up the innocent, vanilla virgin to the extreme, all but saying to the audience, “I’m really boring, and I let people walk all over me.” Field gives one of the stand-

out performances of the night with her drunken, foul-mouthed portrayal of Katherine, a free-spirited and sexually generous foil to Anastasia.

As Patterson glides into “There’s a Hole Inside of Me” (yeah, they mean that hole), it’s evident that what makes the musical work so well is the level of vocal talent the cast members bring. Sure, they’re all acting out ridiculous parts, but when it comes down to it, their voices are solid. Patterson in particular brings richness in her singing that almost makes you forget about the words coming out of her mouth.

50 shades from page 9

But it’s not just the words that made the audience struggle between laughter and major discomfort; the dark prince Christian Grey (Jack Boise) offers the greatest physical comedy of the evening.

In the book, Anastasia’s mysterious love interest Christian is a sexy, powerful, selfassured, dominating force to be reckoned with.

In this production of “50 Shades! The Musical,” Christian is about 200 lbs. of gut and body hair.

And he’s fabulous.

Boise’s true shining moment is during “I Don’t Make Love,” when he prances, grinds and shimmies his way across the stage in a bright red, spandex onesie that leaves little to the imagination. It’s at this moment that “50 Shades” goes from musical to comedy show, with Boise inserting Syracuse-specific lyrics (“Sexy ladies from the ‘Cuse, I see some p*ssy that I’d like to abuse”) and pointing out female audience members.

This violation of the fourth wall persists throughout the performance, sometimes resulting in mild audience participation and short dialogue between the crowd and the performers. But it totally works. Besides, when the cast members are breaking the rules of decency in every scene, the traditional rules of theater should be the least of anyone’s worries.

The first song of the second act, “Red Room,” takes Anastasia into Christian’s secret, sadistic room and introduces her to his unconventional fetishes. Christian asks her to sign a contract that essentially says he can do whatever he wants to her, whenever he wants. The rest of the musical shows Anastasia struggling between the freedom she feels from being with him and the obvious lack of freedom she’d have if she

The Musical” belts out the final number, “Hole Inside of Me (Reprise).” Other songs include, “Red Room,” “Could This Be The One” and “I Don’t Make Love.” The musical is a parody of the popular book, “Fifty Shades of Grey.” signed the contract.

And this is where the musical really succeeds. It points out a major logical flaw of the book by emphasizing how stupid it is to think Anastasia was liberated by signing her body away to a sadist.

But, of course, she eventually decides to sign the contract, justifying her action by saying,

“This is real life, this isn’t a book! If it was, it would be terrible!” The line is a little obvious and easy, sure, but amusing nonetheless.

One of the refreshing and unexpected parts of the musical was the strong female cast. The housewives almost embody the women of “Sex and the City” with their candid discussion of sex and relationships,

topics that are still not exactly the norm in entertainment media, unfortunately.

Societal strides aside, “50 Shades! The Musical” is pretty much just an hour and a half of innuendo, crude gestures and dialogue that will make you burst out laughing and blush at the same time. And it’s excellent. jmcabe@syr.edu

Romantic comedy brings twist to genre with time-travel element

By Brittany Russell

T

Staff Writer

rue love exists and the little things in life matter — or so “About Time” would have you believe.

The film, starring Rachel McAdams and Domhnall Gleeson, is one of the best romantic comedies to hit theaters this year. From the creators of “Love Actually” and “Notting Hill,” it is nearly as captivating as “The Notebook.”

When Tim (Gleeson) realizes he has the ability to time travel, he uses this power to redo his past — because who would pass up that opportunity? In an attempt to make a perfect future, Tim travels through time to find a girlfriend.

After a while, he meets Mary (McAdams), who he eventually wins over, after several attempts.

But Tim quickly figures out that fate plays

an unavoidable role in his life and he cannot fix everything without some consequences.

Director and writer Richard Curtis does a great job weaving the time travel element into the film without making it feel like a science fiction story. He lets real-life issues — love, happiness, death and sorrow — remain at the heart of the film, making it relatable to the audience.

In addition to that, there is a perfect ratio of heartfelt, funny and sad moments, not leaving one particular part too overbearing.

Given her extensive repertoire of romantic comedies, Rachel McAdams was an obvious choice for the lead female role. She has built up a certain credibility with these roles, and delivered a performance in this film that no other actress could have replicated.

Alongside her was Domhnall Gleeson, and

together he and McAdams made a perfect pair.

Gleeson remained a lovable character throughout the duration of the movie, despite tampering with other people’s lives through time travel.

He also portrayed a wonderful relationship with his dad, played by Bill Nighy, which added a sentimental family element to the plot.

The love a family shares is very present in “About Time,” giving the audience a break from the typical romantic love. While Gleeson’s character was close with his sister, it was his father that he shared the tightest bond with.

In fact, Gleeson learns about his powers from his dad. He is taught that men are the only ones in the family that have the ability, and they are not allowed to expose this gift to people.

What really makes things interesting, though, is that the men in Tim’s family cannot

Director: Richard Curtis Cast: Rachel McAdams, Domhnall Gleeson, Bill Nighy Release date: Nov. 8 Rating: 4.5/5

mess with permanent life events, such as birth, illness or death, because some things are just too complex to fix through time travel, thus limiting what Gleeson’s character can do.

Because of its relatable features, this romcom should be a continued success. And aside from everyone wanting to believe in love, audiences get to experience something they cannot partake in through real life: time travel.

“About Time” is the perfect example of being thankful for what you have, because you can’t change everything. baruss01@syr.edu

Athletic wear brands should cater to all body types, promote healthy living

P

opular athletic clothing brand Lululemon Athletica has built an incredible following in the past five years. “Rarer” and “classic” items can sell out from the company’s website within minutes and groups on Facebook and eBay are able to sell new and used items above retail, and easily find buyers for them.

But the Canadian brand has had its share of recent PR blunders. As the company has expanded, production has been outsourced and material quality has declined. This has led to a few missteps, including the sheer pants debacle, where Lululemon’s $100 yoga pants were deemed see-through — and some stores had ladies bend over to test the amount of “sheer” within the pants.

jillian thaw

writer, editor, sweater But Lululemon isn’t alone in the controversy. Sports companies have had some serious missteps: remember Adidas’ ‘shackle’ sneakers from 2012? Or Nike and its outsourced factory conditions and sweatshops in the poorest Asian countries? Other clothing companies, like Abercrombie & Fitch, have also recently

shamed plus-sized customers.

It was absurd — and mean — when Lululemon’s co-founder Chip Wilson blamed thickthighed women for stretching and wearing-in the brand’s yoga pants. He recently said in an interview, “Quite frankly, some women’s bodies just actually don’t work. It’s about the rubbing through the thighs and how much pressure there is.”

Many individuals who have purchased Lululemon gear more than a year ago will quickly point out the decline in quality of the pants as the actual cause. Business folk and public relations experts will probably slap their foreheads in disbelief.

But most important is the realization that Wilson — who established an incredibly popu-

lar and high-quality brand and who launched a culture of “The Sweat Life,” which documents women and men in Lululemon gear traveling, performing yoga, training at the gym, running outdoors and being nutritious — has indicated that heavier or less healthy individuals are excluded from this life.

That sentiment was echoed in August when the company, in response to questions about clothing sizes larger than its current range of sizes 2-12, said it had no plans to make larger clothing.

Wilson has since issued an apology via YouTube, ending with a plea: “For all of you that have made lululemon what it is today, I ask you to stay in a conversation that is above the fray. I ask you to prove that the culture that you have built cannot be chipped away. Thank you.”

“Chipping away” at health and wellness culture, by individuals who make a living within it, must extend outside of Lululemon’s headquarters. Places of health promotion should welcome people of all shapes and sizes. Planet Fitness noted this in its “gymtimidation” commercials. Coaches, trainers or athletes should be encouraging, not demeaning. It’s hard enough living healthily in our overstuffed, sedentary world. Maintaining motivation and positivity is demanding, and already too difficult for the undetermined.

We are responsible for our own health, yes, but support comes from all angles. And with media promoting unhealthy and unrealistic depictions of beauty and health, it is even more important for powerful health proponents to embrace all individuals.

Jillian is a magazine, newspaper and online journalism masters student. She still adores her Lululemon gear and believes the company can overcome its recent missteps. Her column appears every Wednesday in Pulp. Email her a jathaw@ syr.edu and follow her on Twitter @jathaw.

Expand Your Mind

The thunderous debut of “Thor: The Dark World” was anything but low-key.

The film, Marvel Entertainment’s sequel to the 2011 hit “Thor,” not only dethroned “Ender’s Game” after one weekend on top, but it did so by raking in an impressive $85,737,841 — almost three times more than what “Ender’s Game” made in its first weekend.

As the sequel to an already-popular film, “The Dark World” had little trouble captivating the largest audience this weekend. The movie received a 65 percent score on Rotten Tomatoes — 10 percent less than its predecessor — but word of mouth and it’s A- rating on CinemaScore should be enough for a long stint in theaters. It could also see a bump in revenue when people have breaks from work and school during the Thanksgiving holiday.

And during a season when films are pining for Oscar nods, “The Dark World” stood out as one of the few big-name blockbusters. But what really garnered the most attention for the movie was a thorough marketing campaign involving actors using their star power to promote the film. Tom Hiddleston, who returned as Thor’s villainous adopted brother Loki, for example, made several in-character appearances at venues like Comic Con, becoming one of the most popular characters in the series.

Claiming the second spot this weekend was the returning “Jackass Presents: Bad

Grandpa,” which made just more than $11 million. Its revenue has been consistently dropping, but given the comedy’s relatively low $15 million budget, which it surpassed during its debut, everything at this point is added to the crew’s profits.

Bumping up into third place was Relativity Media’s “Free Birds.” Making $11,112,063 last week, the film has grossed more than $30 million dollars, but that falls well-short of its $55 million budget. But given its timely Thanksgiving theme, the animated film should hold out through the holiday.

Aside from the “The Dark World,” new releases failed to break the top 25 films last weekend. This isn’t surprising considering their indie statuses and limited releases, but movies like “The Book Thief” and “Great Expectations” also struggled because of minimal advertising.

A few films, though, experienced nationwide debuts after limited releases.

In seventh place was director Steve McQueen’s “12 Years A Slave,” earning $6.7 million. Expanding its reach to 1,444 theaters last weekend from its limited 19-theater opening, the film has grossed $17.4 million to date.

And “About Time,” a romantic comedy featuring Rachel McAdams and Domhnall Gleeson, took ninth place, besting its $1 million limited debut with about $4.7 million this time around. jtinfant@syr.edu

Coleman rebounds from debut; Ennis shows scoring ability

By Trevor Hass and David Wilson The Daily Orange

DaJuan Coleman is placing most of his focus on two particular elements of his game: catching the ball deep in the paint and keeping it high once he has it.

On Tuesday, he showed improvement in both areas. After finishing with a mere two points and four rebounds against Cornell, Coleman posted a double-double in No. 9 Syracuse’s (2-0) 89-74 win over Fordham (1-1) at the Carrier Dome in front of 22,667.

“DaJuan played his game,” freshman forward B.J. Johnson said. “Came up big with some rebounds. He played very well.”

Syracuse head coach Jim Boeheim said Coleman is a force down low and does a good job corralling rebounds. He had 10 against Fordham, seven of which came on the offensive glass.

“He gets in the middle,” Boeheim said. “He gets his hands on balls.”

Late in the first half, Coleman snatched a C.J. Fair miss. He missed a layup, but after the ball deflected off Jerami Grant’s chest, Coleman grabbed it and elevated to shoot.

The shot swirled around the rim and fell.

Coleman was fouled and his free throw extended SU’s lead to 42-19.

There were times when Coleman was inefficient, though.

On one play in the second half, he started with the ball 3 feet outside the paint and thumped his way inside and forced a shot.

Assistant coach Mike Hopkins, who works with Coleman in practice, stood up and swung his fist. Hopkins seemed to be half excited about the move and half frustrated with the shot selection and that Coleman didn’t finish.

Coleman shot 3-of-6 on Tuesday, and all of his field goals came in the paint.

“That’s the way it should be,” Boeheim said.

“If anything, he worked too much away from the paint.”

Ennis scores 16 in strong performance It took Tyler Ennis just 14 seconds on Tuesday to do the one thing he couldn’t in his regularseason debut against Cornell.

After a near turnover during the opening possession against Fordham, Ennis spun away from his defender and darted to the rim for a layup -- his first career bucket.

“There was opportunities for him,” Boeheim said. “I think he had some opportunities to get to the rim better and he finished.”

There were a lot of things that Ennis did right in his debut. On Friday, he grabbed rebounds — eight — and dished out seven assists. He only turned the ball over twice and, for the most part, controlled the game even as the Big Red put a scare in Syracuse.

But his first basket remained elusive until the opening seconds of the Orange’s 89-74 win over Fordham. He followed up an 0-for-6 debut with a 16-point performance — one that matched Jerami Grant for second on the team — and revealed a previously unseen dimension

He grabbed four boards, dished five assists and added four steals, but the 16 points on 4-of-8 shooting were what silenced any concern.

“I just focus on winning, doing my job, making sure my teammates get the ball,” Ennis said. “If I’m creating for my teammates then I’m

happy. If my team needs me to score and I’m not scoring, that’s when I’m not playing well.”

Ennis didn’t think about the elusive basket — he’s still more concerned with facilitating.

But when the opportunities arise, he proved that he’s able to take advantage.

“He’s more relaxed and he got some good

opportunities,” Boeheim said. “He’s a good player. He’ll score.” tbhass@syr.edu @TrevorHass dbwilson@syr.edu @DBWilson2

spencer bodian | asst. photo editor JEROME SMITH received 28 carries in the Orange’s win at Maryland on Saturday. SU’s running game hopes to control the game’s tempo against Florida State on Saturday.

SMITH

FROM PAGE 20

MacPherson said. “Jerome’s a big part of it.

He’s a big piece of it and he’s our star for a reason.”

Smith ran the ball a season-high 28 times against Maryland, one carry less than his career-high 29 against West Virginia in the New Era Pinstripe Bowl last season. On Saturday, the junior accumulated 118 yards and ran for both of SU’s two touchdowns, and helped set the tone for a physical game.

Fellow running back Prince-Tyson Gulley left in the first quarter with an ankle injury, which led to Smith’s increased workload. Gulley will play on Saturday, but running backs coach DeAndre Smith said he’s not opposed to running Smith at a similar rate.

“It’s the first time he’s carried that much this year and he handled it really well,” DeAndre Smith said. “If we need him to carry it 30 times, I’ll let him carry it 30 times.”

It’s a prospect that Jerome Smith certainly isn’t opposed to.

“That was fun,” Smith said with a large grin on his face. “I enjoyed it a lot more than getting it maybe 16 times, but whatever’s in the game plan is good for us.”

On the season, Syracuse’s opponents possess the ball for 31:11 per game, while SU averages 28:49. But the Orange out-possessed the Terrapins on Saturday and Wake Forest in its previous ACC win.

FSU scores 52 points per game -- the second most in the country -- yet has possessed the ball for 279 minutes, the 39th most in the country.

that kept his hand in a cast for about half of the season.

While it’s still unclear what Eskridge is working through, defensive coordinator Chuck Bullough said the medical staff informed him that Eskridge will be ready to play on Saturday.

He sat out of Tuesday’s practice for precautionary reasons.

“They told me he’s going to be ready to play,” Bullough said. “They just want to take precaution. Always with any injuries you want to take precaution.”

Still, in the Seminoles’ closest win of the season against Boston College, it possessed the ball for nearly 27 minutes, four minutes below its season average. BC nearly upset FSU in a 48-34 loss, and had the ball for more than 33 minutes.

But in its largest win of the season — a 63-0 trouncing of then-No. 25 Maryland on Oct. 5 — the Seminoles’ time of possession exceeded 34 minutes.

Coddling the football has been the lone antidote to FSU’s unyielding attack. On Saturday, Syracuse’s offensive approach will be as much about limiting damage as scoring points.

“When teams have a really good offense you want to keep them off the field,” Smith said.

“When you want to eat the clock up, you definitely run the ball.”

Smith’s success against Maryland will in all likelihood translate to a similar game plan against FSU. But looking past the Seminoles, it’s a script the Orange could follow for the rest of the season.

Inflated wins against Wagner and Tulane could have created the mirage that Syracuse can excel through the air. But an up-and-down conference showing thus far has placed the spotlight back on the steady run game.

Heading into the weekend, SU is one win away from bowl eligibility and, starting with the Seminoles, will get back to its roots to make the push toward six wins.

“After 10 games or weeks you can kind of see that’s our identity,” DeAndre Smith said.

“We can run the ball and be physical, and when we’ve played well that’s what we’ve done.” jcdoug01@syr.edu @dougherty_ jesse

Linebacker Dyshawn Davis confirmed Eskridge’s status.

“You’ll see Durell play this weekend,” Davis said.

Running backs coach DeAndre Smith said Gulley not only returned to practice Tuesday, but also had a great session.

“He’s doing great,” Smith said. “He had a great day today, full speed, making cuts, so I’ll have all hands on deck.”

Running back Jerome Smith agreed.

Said Smith: “He’s doing good. He practiced fast, looked good. Faster than usual.” sebail01@syr.edu @Stephen_Bailey1

Syracuse (2-0) to an 89-74 win over Fordham (1-1) on Tuesday night at the Carrier Dome in front of 22,667. He looked sharp in his first action of the season, showing off an improved mid-range jumper and dominating on the glass.

“He brings energy and scoring,” Syracuse point guard Tyler Ennis said. “We missed him a lot.”

When Grant checked in at the 17:21 mark in the first half, he almost did so with a boom.

Ennis lobbed a pass Grant’s way, but it was overthrown and sailed out of bounds. Grant hung on and bent the rim, clearly eager to be back on the court. It was his first regular season game in eight months.

Just more than a minute later, though, Grant tapped in a C.J. Fair miss to give Syracuse an 8-2 lead. That was his first of seven offensive rebounds, three of which led to field goals.

“He’s such a good offensive rebounder,” Syracuse head coach Jim Boeheim said.

Boeheim said that the increase in fouls — there were 55 total on Tuesday — favors Grant and complements his game. He naturally wants to drive to the basket, and with the new rule, Boeheim says, there’s a “90 percent chance” there’s going to be a foul called.

It helped that four of Fordham’s starters were 6 feet 3 inches or shorter, but Grant gobbled up rebounds all evening and lived at the free throw line, attempting nine foul shots in all. He bullied Branden Frazier and Ryan Rhoomes on the glass, establishing himself early inside.

But Grant also showcased an improved jumper. Before the game, when he warmed up with assistant coach Adrian Autry, Grant canned jumpers from all over the floor. He rotated around the court, taking 15-footers

15

from five different spots.

His jumper looked smooth and natural, and in the game it was no different. In the second half, with Syracuse up by 22, Grant powerdribbled to the middle and swished a floater.

“I definitely can hit those shots I took today,” Grant said. “I missed a couple, but at the same time I can hit them.”

Ennis said Grant worked diligently with Autry and by himself in the offseason to hone that element of his game. Fair added that Grant is more confident taking mid-range jumpers than he was last season.

“It helps me out personally a lot,” Fair said.

“He’s one of them players that can knock down the open shot.”

Grant said Fair told him to be aggressive when he got in. That’s what Fair did a couple years ago, and now it’s Grant’s turn.

For a player who averaged just four points last season, his minutes and numbers will likely see a significant spike this year. Tuesday was just a glimpse of what the 6-foot-8 forward may provide this year.

Fair is Syracuse’s main scoring guru. He had a career-high 26 himself. But when teams focus in on Fair, Grant is there to provide a second punch. He scored eight points before Fordham cracked double digits.

In the first half, he flushed home a dunk off a pass from Ron Patterson to give the Orange a six-point lead.

But his highlight-reel play came with 5:28 to go in the game and clamped the faintest of comeback hopes Fordham had. Grant swooped in and corralled a Fair miss mid-air. He thrust the ball through the hoop with one hand as the Carrier Dome crowd erupted.

“Jerami’s going to have a lot of those,” Fair said. “We’re expecting a big year from him.” tbhass@syr.edu @TrevorHass

spencer bodian | asst. photo editor charley loeb never earned SU’s starting quarterback job, but head coach Scott Shafer plans to have him stick around as a graduate assistant coach next season.

Shafer says SU plans to keep Loeb as graduate assistant

By Stephen Bailey and David Wilson The Daily Orange

Charley Loeb may have never won a starting quarterback battle, but Syracuse head coach Scott Shafer seems to think Loeb has got a career ahead of him in coaching.

Shafer said SU will attempt to keep Loeb on as a graduate assistant after this season.

“Charley’s a special person,” Shafer said on his weekly Tuesday teleconference. “He’s really one of the most unselfish people I’ve been around. He’s a very good student and his mother says he’s the best-looking kid on the team.

“He’s also decided he thinks he wants to coach football and we’re going to try to keep him on as a graduate assistant here when he’s done playing.”

This fall, Loeb lost out on the quarterback job to Oklahoma transfer Drew Allen, who then lost the job to sophomore Terrel Hunt.

Loeb currently helps call plays in and serves as the team’s holder.

He nearly scored a rushing touchdown on a fake field goal against Wake Forest, but was stopped just short of the goal line.

In practice, Shafer said, Loeb has been a strong team player and helps the rest of the quarterbacks regularly.

“He’s just such a team player,” Shafer said. “He’s always encouraging to all of his teammates, including the guys he’s competed with. From a character point of view, there’s just nothing about him that I could say that isn’t just so positive about being a true team player.”

Florida natives temper emotions A hallmark of the earliest days of the Shafer era and the beginning of Syracuse’s time in the Atlantic Coast Conference is the Orange’s growing presence in Florida.

Offensive coordinator, and often lead recruiter, George McDonald coached at Miami (Fla.) and has helped bring Floridian after Floridian to Central New York. Shafer owes

“He’s also decided he thinks he wants to coach football and we’re going to try to keep him on as a graduate assistant here when he’s done playing.”

Scott Shafer

Syracuse head coach

much of his early success to the state, but said that Saturday’s meeting with Florida State at 3:30 p.m. in Tallahassee, Fla., doesn’t have his Florida players any more fired up than usual.

“It’s been my experience over the years that the Florida kids, they’re not as latched into the three big schools in Florida as you would imagine,” Shafer said. “They just want to play.”

Shafer said that at every stop he’s been at — whether it was Northern Illinois, Stanford or Western Michigan — he’s been able to recruit Florida kids because “they travel well.”

“We owe a lot to our success in the profession to players and coaches from that part of the country,” Shafer said.

So it will be a chance for Shafer to coach in the state he owes so much, and a chance for his players to go up against some familiar faces, even if Doak Campbell Stadium won’t get them more excited than the Carrier Dome.

“I think they will be amped up to play against some of the kids they knew growing up,” Shafer said. “But it’s funny — the thing that I’ve always been intrigued about with the Florida kids, especially the South Florida kids, is they just want to play.” sebail01@syr.edu @Stephen_Bailey1 dbwilson@syr.edu @DBWilson2

MEN’S BASK ETBA LL FORDHAM FROM PAGE 20

After a layup by Tyler Ennis to start things off, Fair went to work doing what he does best.

He knocked down a baseline jumper from the right side and followed it up with another midrange score moments later. Two minutes after, Fair drilled his first 3 of the game.

He hit another jumper to bring his total to nine with 13:09 left in the first half — a number that Fordham wouldn’t reach until seven minutes later.

“He scores almost every time he touches the ball,” Grant said, “so it’s definitely great to have a high-profile guy like him.”

Turnovers, though, were once again an issue. Fair turned the ball over seven times in the opener and followed it up with a fourturnover first half against the Rams.

He knew coming into this season that he would have a greater role as a creator.

“I knew I was going to have to handle the ball a little more and create more offense for myself,” Fair said.

So he had to work on everything. Shooting.

Passing. But especially ball-handling.

Some of the turnovers have been careless — he’s tried to start transition too quickly at times — but other times he’s just gotten out of his element.

In the second half, he remedied the one issue that’s plagued him in the earliest stages of the season.

“I don’t want to be known as turnover prone,”

Fair said.

And when Fordham started to come back, it meant he was the most obvious option to counter the run.

With 3:33 remaining, the Rams showed signs of life. The lead was down to 12 and Syracuse needed a bucket.

Fordham leaned on Branden Frazier and Jon Severe, who finished with 33 and 19 points, respectively, to charge back and make the second half a frame that frustrated the Orange.

“There’s a lesson learned here,” Boeheim said, “if you don’t guard people — every team has guys that can shoot.”

But SU had a trump card. A pair of Rakeem Christmas free throws stretched the lead back to 14. Grant blocked a shot on the other end and Fair started transition.

The forward set up on the right wing. He pumpfaked and headed to the rim. Fair drew contact and finished. And-one. Twenty-three seconds later he hit another jumper. He had a career-high 26 and the Orange had a 19-point lead.

This time, Syracuse didn’t need any heroics from Cooney — who had just two points.

It could have cruised without Grant. Fair and the Orange disposed of a lesser opponent in the fashion that SU has made customary during November.

“We played a very efficient first half. We were very good offensively,” Boeheim said. “If we didn’t play really well it would’ve been a lot closer game and if they made that run it would’ve been a difficult game.” dbwilson@syr.edu @DBWilson2

FAIRLY EASY Fair finishes with career-high 26 points in SU win

By David Wilson

SPORTS EDITOR

his time there was no unexpected suspension. There was no first-half scare and Syracuse didn’t need any surprising heroics.

Instead, Syracuse’s second game of the season went exactly as anticipated.

The Orange was at full strength and held a commanding halftime lead. Trevor Cooney had cooled off, but C.J. Fair took his place as the star of the day. Even a late push by Fordham wasn’t quite enough to qualify as a scare during an 89-74 SU victory.

“We had a very good first half,” head coach Jim Boeheim said. “We just have to look at what we did the second half and try to work on that.”

Tuesday featured all the drama of a usual opening-week game for No. 9 Syracuse. Jerami Grant was in his typical role as sixth man. The Orange (2-0) cruised to a 46-21 halftime lead over the Rams. Fair scored a career-high 26 points. Fordham (1-1) cut the lead to as slim as 12 in the second half, but there were never more than murmurs of restlessness from the 22,667 that trekked through the snow to the Carrier Dome.

From wire-to-wire, SU had control.

Almost 15 minutes into the game, Fair had matched the Rams’ scoring output. Minutes earlier, Grant was in the same position. Fordham missed its first nine 3-pointers to drain any drama from this upset bid in a hurry.

“It did feel good when everything was going our way,” Fair said.

Syracuse safety Durell Eskridge and running back Prince-Tyson Gulley will play against No. 2 Florida State on Saturday.

Eskridge watched practice on Tuesday while Gulley participated fully.

Both missed the second half of SU’s 20-3 win against Maryland with injuries this past Saturday. Gulley suffered an ankle sprain that held him to just one carry for three ESKRIDGE yards while Eskridge was sidelined with an upper-body injury.

After the game, cornerback Julian W higham said Eskridge’s injury was unrelated to the broken right ring finger

SYRACUSE FORWARD

Syracuse started off its 20-3 win over Maryland with its longest touchdown drive of the season.

From its own 20-yard line, the Orange took 7:54 and methodically marched down the field. Sixteen plays and 80 yards.

Jerome Smith carried the ball eight times on the drive and punctuated it with his 1-yard plunge into the end zone.

“Everybody was comfortable,” Smith said, “the running game settled everybody in early.”

Much like it did against Maryland, Syracuse (5-4, 3-2 Atlantic Coast) will look to dictate the tempo against No. 2 Florida State (9-0, 7-0) on Saturday. Facing the Seminoles’ high-octane passing attack, SU’s offense will look to eat clock and keep Jameis Winston and Co. off the field.

And Smith will be at the forefront of that effort.

“We pride ourselves in being able to run the ball and keep teams with good offenses off the field,” SU center Macky
