Former professor dies at 77

BRAVING THE

STORM

University community reacts, comes together following typhoon in the Philippines

By Annie Palmer Asst. News Editor

A former philosophy and political science professor in the College of Arts and Sciences has died.

Edward McClennen, who was 77, retired from Syracuse University earlier this year after teaching at the university since 2003, according to a Wednesday SU News release. He died on Nov. 2.

The release did not specify a cause of death.

He was recognized for his work in moral and political philosophy and in game theory, or the study of strategic decision-making in

hen Typhoon Haiyan struck the Philippines on Friday, Stephanie Bronfein felt like her family was a world away.

She didn’t truly understand the severity of the situation until she took to Facebook to get in touch with family members who live in Tacloban, one of the cities hit hardest by the typhoon. Bronfein, a sophomore in the Bandier Program for Music and the Entertainment Industries, was met with both hope and devastation.

She saw hundreds of posts desperately, publicly declaring “I love you” and “I hope to hear from you soon” as the others, like Bronfein, struggled to reach their loved ones. And speaking to her cousin Miki on the phone only confirmed what she felt when she saw photos of Miki’s house collapsed into debris.

“My cousin was describing it to

me, where it sounded like people were stomping on the ceiling, waiting for it to cave in,” Bronfein said. “Everything smells terrible because of the dead bodies everywhere.”

So far, Bronfein said, her cousin found three bodies in the rubble on top

Trees that lace the nearby mountains used to prevent people from seeing the ocean. They are now fallen, and the ocean is visible from all directions — a painful reminder.

“To see it now, it’s like, ‘this can’t be this town, this can’t be my family, this can’t be my friends,’”Bronfein said.

The typhoon, called Yolanda in the Philippines, went down as one

of the strongest in recorded history, reaching the same strength of a Category Five hurricane, Bronfein said.

The storm “ripped the city to shreds” when it made landfall Friday, she said.

The sentiment of “just being alive” has kept many victims going, Bronfein said. But the reality of the storm is setting in for the survivors: Bronfein said some are left seeking food and water, as evidenced by the number of shops being looted.

“People are getting so desperate,” she said. “My cousin was just expressing how she’s afraid people are going to attack her house because they see she has electricity and food and four walls.”

After the catastrophe, Bronfein said, she didn’t hear from her family for days — not until her mother received a text message from an unknown number saying her aunt, uncle and their three young children were safe.

A thief has emptied a vending machine in the basement of the Life Sciences Complex twice this week, removing its contents on Monday and Wednesday.

The person used a tool to create a small hole the size of a dime on the glass of the vending machine, then used a wire-like material to poke through the hole to make all the candy and snacks fall from their slots, said James Hill, the leading Department of Public Safety detective on the case. The first theft happened between 6-9 a.m. on Monday, he added.

He said he had never seen a crime like this before, and was astonished by the level of effort the thief put into the trick for treats.

“Usually if somebody wants to take something out of the vending machine they just break the glass and kick it,” Hill said. “They’re not going to take that much time to drill this little hole, and sit there and stick something at it and pick at it.”

In addition to the $30 worth of snacks stolen, the replacement glass for the vending machine cost $100,

said Michael Toia, a DPS detective.

The thief struck again on Wednesday, with a new hole and an empty vending machine, this time at about 1:45 p.m. DPS has yet to determine the value of all the content lost on Wednesday.

“We have no idea who it could be, it could be anybody,” Hill said. “He’s either got the munchies, or he’s got some type of problem.”

He added that the investigation for the two petit larcenies is “going

Students in the Life Sciences Complex were both perplexed and disappointed when they arrived to an empty vending machine with a small hole on Wednesday.

Yixin Ma, a graduate student studying electrical engineering, who usually gets a Snickers bar from the machine, was astonished when he saw it, and said he had never seen anything like this before.

“I was very surprised, typically it should be full,” he said. “It’s terrible.”

Casey Simons, a graduate student studying chemistry, who usually buys Cheez-Its, said anyone could’ve done the crime, as the doors to that area aren’t usually locked.

Mental health regulations to insignificantly affect gun control

O

n Friday, the White House rolled out new regulations for health insurance providers that require insurers to cover mental health and addiction the same way they cover physical illness. The Obama Administration views the new regulations as critical to curbing gun violence because the regulations will provide potentially violent, mentally ill people with treatment.

However, despite being a positive development in the treatment of mental illness and addiction in general, the regulations will have a negligible, if any, effect on the incidence of gun violence in the United States.

There is an undeniable correlation between mental illness and mass shootings. In most of the shootings in recent years — and there have been a startling amount — the shooter has a history of mental illness. But the connection between mental illness and violence is much more nuanced than the media’s coverage of mass shootings lead us to believe.

Research from the National Institute of Mental Health has shown that about 26 percent of adults and 20 percent of children experience a diagnosable mental health condition every year.

But only about 4 percent of violent crimes can be linked to mental illness. The mass shooting sprees which inspired these regulations are horrifying tragedies that attract considerable media attention. But the sad reality is that they only make up a small portion of the total gunrelated deaths each year.

michael hacker a chain reaction conservatively left People with mental illness may not seek treatment at all, and even if they do, mental health professionals will certainly not be able to identify every dangerous individual before he or she commits an act of violence.

Laws such as New York state’s “Kendra’s Law,” which allows judges to involuntarily commit people to psychiatric treatment, will also allow some killers to slip through the cracks.

Many of the perpetrators of mass killings — Adam Lanza and James Holmes, for example — had no previous criminal record.

But most importantly, almost all gun homicides are committed by people with no history of mental illness, according to The New York Times. The majority of gun crimes occur in urban, low-poverty areas, and many are related to gang activities or petty crime — not severe mental illness. If we really want to lower the incidence of gun violence in the United States, we should focus on improving life in these highrisk areas.

Gun violence follows the same trends as infectious diseases. Data about gun violence show clustering almost identical to datamaps that follow the spread of diseases, proving its magnitude.

To curb gun violence in these clusters, we should invest in programs to rehabilitate ex-convicts, educate youth in high-risk areas, improve economic opportunities for citizens in impoverished areas and most importantly, reduce the number of guns on the streets. In the short-term, legislative efforts can only go so far as to affect the latter.

Two professors at Columbia University, Paul S. Appelbaum and Jeffrey A. Lieberman, wrote recently in the New York Times that “if we are serious about reducing gun violence, we need to muster the political will to also do something more about the availability of guns.”

Decreasing the availability of guns is the only action that will significantly decrease the number of gun-related deaths in the United States. This is also one of the only aspects of this complicated situation that can be directly influenced by legislative action.

President Obama promised to make “access to mental health care as easy as access to a gun.”

This is all well and good, but the president’s efforts — especially without having to deal with re-election and if his goal is reducing the number of gun-related deaths — should be focused on reducing the number of guns on the streets and making it harder for dangerous, mentally ill people to obtain deadly weapons in the first place.

One of the main reasons we are supporting the Boris4SU campaign is the internal finance board concept.

We respect Boris and Daniela for their acceptance of varied political thought, and look forward to working with his administra-

While we believe that all of the candidates will do a great job in their potential roles, the College Republicans at SU firmly believe that Boris will breathe new life into SA and allow students to win in the long and short term.

Daily Orange editors address recent Letter to the Editor Dear Readers, In Tuesday’s edition of The Daily Orange, we published a Letter to the Editor titled “Former SU student questions Rosales’ candidacy for SA” from someone claiming to be Timothy Keller, a 2011 SU alumnus. We later discovered and confirmed there is no record of Keller’s attendance at Syracuse University.

The Daily Orange fell victim to a scam and unknowingly published a letter from a fictional reader. The letter has since been removed from The Daily Orange’s website. We felt we had an obligation to inform our readers of this incident.

The Opinions section of The Daily Orange represents an opportunity for Syracuse students, faculty, staff and community members to voice their opinions and concerns about campus issues.

The fact that an individual took advantage of this open forum and took away an opportunity for a credible SU community member to voice his or her concerns is something The Daily Orange does not take lightly. The point of the Opinions section is to incite and promote

letter from the editors discussion, and this cannot be done when someone abuses the process by creating a false identity.

Letters to the Editor are sent to the editorial editor via email to be published in the next day’s paper. As a result of this incident, we will require that submissions also include a phone number at which the author can be reached.

This will provide another method of indentifying those who submit Letters to the Editor.

We decided to make this process more structured to ensure the quality of our content and that readers don’t have to question the validity of these letters.We hope our readers will continue to use the Opinions section to express their views and concerns in an appropriate manner.

Sincerely,

Low SA voter turnout proves need for student involvement in university politics In recent years, millennial voters have made the difference in national elections, and have the potential to do the same at the college level.

As the Student Association elections wind down, student interest in university politics is imperative to incite change at Syracuse University.

This past week reaffirmed a recognized trend for the past several years: a lack of student votes in the SA election. As of Wednesday at 6 p.m., only 21.4 percent of the student body — slightly more than 3,000 students — voted in the election,

editorial by the daily orange editorial board said Dan Hernandez, chair of the Board of Elections and Membership for SA. This number of votes is lower than last year, when nearly 3,500 students had voted by this point in the election.

Although this number represents about 1-in-5 students, even more should vote.

the national scale. In 2008, young voters propelled Barack Obama to win his first term as president of the United States. Despite a dip in support in 2012, this same demographic played a crucial role in re-electing him last year.

Students could have a similar effect at the university level if they become engaged with SU’s closest form of a governing body, SA. SA directly affects students.

organizations. This gives nearly every student on SU’s campus, even if they are not interested in politics, reason to become involved in university politics.

But perhaps most notably, SA serves as a liaison to students and administration — the most influential body on this campus. Students can use SA as a resource to reach out to administrative figures like the chancellor.

With more participation from students, SA’s ability to satisfy student interests and utilize its relationships

with higher administration could vastly improve. If students want the organization to fulfill its obligation to serve the student body, they should vote to determine the next leaders and future of SA. Voting will only benefit students in the future.

By becoming politically involved at the campus level, students will have the experience to continue promoting change for their demographic after college.

It could all start now — with a simple vote.

Students from University of North Texas create petition to start discussion about rape kits

By Tamara Rasammy

W

Staff Writer

ith almost 700 signatures, four students at the University of North Texas have gone from forming a project for a class to starting a dialogue about having rape kits on campus.

When asked to choose a feminist issue on campus in their Introduction to Women’s Studies course, Tiffany Contessa, Sabrina Ortiz, Melina Padron and Dexia Smith agreed that sexual assault victims should be able to access sexual evidence collection kits — also known as rape kits — on campus, Ortiz explained in an email.

This led them to create a petition on Change.org, calling for the availability of rape kits for students.

“Treatment should be administered immediately to ensure that the victim has to go

through the least hassle possible, and the earlier an exam is performed, the greater the likelihood that substantial evidence can be collected,” said Ortiz, a freshman international studies major at UNT. The main goal for Smith is to raise awareness and support, she said in an email.

This petition is “close to home” for Smith because she has friends who were victims of sexual assault, she added.

“They experienced this trauma alone,” Smith said. “So I vowed to take that step to help provide genuine support to those victims who feel alone after going through something so traumatic.”

Buddy Price, news promotion manager at UNT, stated that the petition has raised “a level of conversation on campus.”

“It’s essential to listen to our students and take safety as a major effort on our campus,

which we do,” Price said. “We are very open to listening to the students and working with them and seeing if we can work something out.”

But Price expressed that it is not common for universities to have rape kits on campus.

He also added that there was a hospital relatively close to the university.

Padron, a freshman psychology major, also said in an email that it is not standard to offer rape kits on campus. But she added that it is still an important issue that would save victims from going through the extensive process of reporting the crime to the police department, hospital and counseling center at the university.

The Rape, Abuse and Incest National Network states on its website that only 40 out of 100 rapes get reported to the police.

“If the university were to offer these services through rape kits or even a rape crisis center, (students) would feel more compelled

to seek help because it is an environment that they already recognize and feel safe in,” Padron said.

The problem is that providing rape kits on a university campus requires expensive equipment and a specialized sexual assault nurse examiner, USA Today reported on Nov. 2.

But the petition has been gaining signatures, jumping from more than 500 signatures to more than 600 this week.

“After all the attention that our activism has caused, it has to mean that people agree with us and want to help,” said Smith, one of the students behind the petition. “Even if the campus doesn’t want to provide the rape kits through the Health and Wellness Center, we hope to establish a support group or center on campus with credible counselors and accessible hours.” twrasamm@syr.edu

Auction to raise money for students taking on law internships

By Zane Warman Staff Writer

To help law students take unpaid internships advocating for public interest, a College of Law organization will host an auction fundraiser this Friday.

The 21st annual Public Interest Auction will be held at the Palace Theatre. All proceeds benefit the Syracuse Public Interest Network, which sponsors fellowships for law students who intend to take unpaid summer internships. The night features both silent and live auctions, with law professors serving as auctioneers.

The auctions, which brought in more than $30,000 last year, are the network’s most lucrative funding source, said Riane Lafferty, a law student and SPIN’s executive director.

While there is no set number of potential winners, each one earns an equal share of the funds. Most recently, she said, 14 recipients were awarded $3,500 each. In past years, anywhere between 35-60 applicants have competed for funding.

Kasey Hildonen, a law student and SPIN’s auction coordinator, said some of the prizes

consequences of criminal charges.”

SPIN helped Gallagher pay for her travel and living expenses during her unpaid stay, enabling her to take on the internship full time instead of having to support herself through a part-time job, she said.

Gallagher, who now works at a law firm in Phoenix, said her SPIN-funded summer internship enabled her to “make invaluable connections” and gain professional experiences “most people do not get to experience until at least five years into practice.”

“I cannot express the gratitude I have to SPIN for giving me funding so that I could be in Tucson for that summer,” she said.

GPA is disregarded in favor of resumes, which show a candidate’s willingness to seek out public interest on a professional level, Lafferty said, though applicants must be in good academic standing. While any law student can apply, those who have shown a demonstrated

interest in working for government sectors, nonprofits and charities are preferred, Hildonen added.

“It’s a lot of working with people who wouldn’t be able to access the legal system without our help,” she said, adding that most candidates were involved in other campus initiatives such as journals or pro bono work.

“They’re really our go-getters and we’re very proud of them.”

SPIN has helped SU law students, such as Meaghan Gallagher, establish important connections in the field.

From the moment she left Arizona — where she studied prelaw — for SU in 2009, Gallagher knew she would go back. In the summer of 2011, she used SPIN’s funding to intern with a public defender in Tucson, Ariz., where she was able to network with other lawyers, the 2012 graduate said in an email.

“I always wanted to be a criminal defense attorney. I did not have a preference as to private or public practice as long as I could help people,” she said. “SPIN helped enforce the desires that I already had, which was to help people navigate the legal system and deal with the collateral

Even as he suffered from serious health problems, McClennen continued to publish in top journals, and accumulated more than 50 published articles in his career, according to the release.

Within his study of decision and game theory, McClennen focused on the application of foundational issues in social and political

philosophy, public policy and other areas. He was a National Endowment for the Humanities fellow in 1989, according to the release.

McClennen received his doctoral degree from Johns Hopkins University in 1968.

Before coming to SU, McClennen spent most of his career at Washington University in St. Louis and Bowling Green State University. He

also spent a few years at the London School of Economics and held visiting appointments at institutions such as Harvard University, the University of Pittsburgh, Rutgers University and the University of Rochester.

He leaves behind his wife Ellen Esrock and his children Nathaniel and Sarah.

elections from page 1

Wednesday, 21.4 percent of the student body — or about 3,048 people — had voted so far, said Dan Hernandez, chair of the Board of Elections and Membership.

That’s slightly down from this same time last year when 3,489 students had voted, he said.

Three candidates are running in this year’s presidential election: Ivan Rosales, Duane Ford and Boris Gresely. Simone Goldslager, Nia Boles and Daniela Lopez,

respectively, are the candidates’ running mates. It’s the first time students will elect SA’s vice president.

Patrick Douglas is running unopposed for comptroller.

Hernandez said he believes 25 percent of the student body will have voted when polls close late on Thursday. He described this as a good turnout.

Last year, 28.9 percent of the student body voted, which broke the record for turnout since online voting started in 2002.

Voting ends at 11:59 p.m. on Thursday.

her personal social media accounts for weeks.

Last year, former President Dylan Lustig didn’t formally support a candidate, saying he would rather help answer any candidates’ questions about the process.

Neal Casey, SA president two sessions ago, said he made it clear during his presidency that he wouldn’t get involved with the election so he could focus on the last few weeks of his administration. Casey added that he didn’t believe it is clearly right or wrong for sitting presidents to support candidates, saying it

“I want people to know what kind of guy Duane is because I’ve experienced it firsthand and I feel like it’s kind of my duty to spread the word.”

should be handled on a case-by-case basis.

“I think the president has a job to make the best decisions for the students and SA,” Casey said. “They can back a candidate based on how they view the future of a candidate in the organization.”

John Barnhart, president during the 54th Session, also did not endorse a candidate.

Casey and Curtis both said the circumstances of an election and the candidates can dictate how a president chooses to support candidates.

During last year’s election, all four candidates were in SA under Lustig’s administra-

tion. This year, Ford is the only presidential candidate currently in SA, something Curtis said factored into her decision to support him.

“It’s a free country, you have the freedom to support others,” she said. She added that she felt it would be “a disservice” not to show support for Ford “given the circumstances when we don’t have anyone else from SA,” she said.

Curtis said she wouldn’t write a public endorsement for Ford and that in classes, she simply encourages students to vote, but she has supported Ford on her personal social media accounts. Curtis said she’s since scaled back the amount of support she’s posted. She added that she wanted to let people know what she saw in Ford.

“He’s been somebody who has been there for me with everything I’ve gone through,” Curtis said. “I want people to know what kind of guy Duane is because I’ve experienced it firsthand and I feel like it’s kind of my duty to spread the word.”

Curtis, Lustig and Casey all said they offered support and advice to candidates who asked about the election process or what the job entailed.

Curtis said she was able to offer advice based on her experience in her own campaign, as well as managing Lustig’s campaign.

Lustig, the SA president before Curtis, said he took a different approach, but was still willing to offer advice.

“I will never support a candidate by coming out to endorse,” Lustig said. “I will, and I’ve told every candidate this, help them with working through ideas and give them advice and encouragement.”

The Syracuse University student body will soon find out if Duane Ford, Ivan Rosales or Boris Gresely will take the reins as the next president of SA. Students can vote through Thursday on MySlice. blsamuel@syr.edu

SU places 4th in ranking of best US colleges for veterans

By Ellen Meyers Staff Writer

Syracuse University has claimed fourth place in a U.S. News & World Report ranking of the best colleges for veterans nationwide.

The magazine launched the new “Best Colleges for Veterans” ranking on Monday.

SU stands behind the University of Texas at Austin, Tulane University and Pennsylvania State University-University Park in the ranking of 234 colleges nationwide.

To qualify for the ranking, colleges had to be certified for the GI Bill, participate in the Yellow Ribbon Program and be part of the Servicemembers Opportunity Colleges Consortium. Only numerically ranked schools on U.S. News & World Report’s 2014 Best Colleges listing — on which SU is No. 62 — that met these criteria were considered.

Anthony Keach, president of the SU branch of Student Veterans of America, said he was surprised that SU did not rank first but felt the fourth slot was still very respectable. He said SU’s ranking should have been higher because of services such as the Veterans Resource Center.

“I feel like we’ve done enough to earn the No. 1 ranking, but if there are things we could do better, we definitely want to do it to advance our ranking,” he said. “We’re all pleased with being No. 4, but we just want to see what we can do better to try to get the top spot.”

Keach said he and other veterans consider the graduation rate as the most important goal. He added the graduation rate for veterans at SU has

been more than 85 percent in the last five years.

Dan Savage, the chief of staff of the Institute for Veterans and Military Families, said the ranking did not come as a surprise because of all of the work SU puts in.

“We’re very proud that the whole campus is coming together in a way that is nationally recognized,” he said.

Although SU’s programs are strong, Savage said, the school needs to work on communication with all of the different programs for student veterans. He added that the university could do a better job at integrating all the programs that are made available for veterans on campus.

Both Savage and Keach said the commitment to student veterans comes from the efforts of William Tolley, who was SU’s chancellor from 1942-1969. He also served on the presidential committee that provided the basis of the GI Bill and admitted all veterans to SU. Keach said Tolley was the first chancellor in the country to welcome veterans “with open arms.”

Savage cited Tolley’s efforts as one of the reasons for SU’s high ranking, but added that SU placed No. 4 because of a wide spectrum of resources the university provided. He also said academic programs, specifically for student veterans, were a factor in the ranking.

“There’s a whole host of programs that have evolved over the years,” he said. “There’s a really strong commitment to military veterans and active duty military folk.” ekmeyers@syr.edu

••• Though Rob Hom only saw Typhoon Haiyan through his television screen, witnessing his mother and grandmother’s reactions to the storm made him feel helpless. He was born in America, but his mother, grandmother and aunts all grew up in the Philippines.

The storm has tainted the memories of their homeland, he said.

Hom, a 2013 alumnus, grew up hearing stories about his mother and her sisters climbing mango trees when they were still living in the country. Hom said he planned to travel to the Philippines to visit where his mother grew up because he wanted to experience what life there was like.

Now, he sees those memories clash with the reality of the storm and has to face the difficult realization that those trees might not be there anymore.

“It’s those little moments that we take for granted,” he said, speaking about the family memories that have now been tarnished. “I’m guilty of it, too.”

He said the catastrophe has reaffirmed the pride he already felt in his nationality. If it weren’t for his grandfather, who left his job as a lawyer for a minimum wage job in the United States, he wouldn’t be here, he said. He said it’s the memories that we hold onto that preserve the cultures we represent.

“And that’s what I take pride in,” Hom said. “The fact that my mom grew up in the

Philippines.”

••• There are currently six students studying at SU on visas from the Philippines, said Pat Burak, director of the Slutzker Center for International Services. Four out of the six students have confirmed that their families are safe.

Burak said she isn’t sure yet of what fundraising efforts may come together, but said past efforts included events where attendees could donate money to relief services such as the Red Cross, Doctors Without Borders and UNICEF. “We’re trying to work with members of the community to see what they would like,” she said. “I’m willing to partner with anybody who wants to do any of those things, contribute my experience, contribute our networking potential.”

Interim Chancellor Eric Spina sent out a campus-wide email providing the Slutzker Center’s contact information for those who are concerned about loved ones.

Two people had contacted Burak as of Wednesday afternoon and she said she planned on meeting them later that day. She said possible avenues to contact loved ones include the U.S. Department of State, the American consulate in the Philippines and SU alumni in the Philippines.

Burak said students with no connection to the Philippines should be aware of the tragedy “because we’re one world.”

“It’s our obligation as a human being to help people in need,” she said. “And I think that all of us, fundamentally, no matter what religious faith we come from, what social political parties we come from, we fundamentally care about our

brothers and sisters around the world.”

Sharon Li, president of SU’s Asian Students in America, said when the group first heard about the typhoon, its initial reaction was to ask “Is everyone OK?” Li said when ASIA sees an event with some relation to Asia that could affect some students on campus, the group shows its support.

The group previously donated to relief efforts for other natural disasters in Asia, such as the tsunami in Japan and the earthquake in China, she said.

ASIA is considering donating the funds from its Elements of Hip Hop show on Saturday to victims of the typhoon, Li said.

“Plenty of people have been affected by it, especially families, losing loved ones, losing their homes, not having enough food and just not having the proper necessities of life,” Li said. Burak said the magnitude of the typhoon overwhelmed the relief the Philippines’ infrastructure could provide, leaving 630,000 people

displaced and without food or shelter.

She added that she and a number of other staff members in the Slutzker Center keep in close personal contact with international students after they graduate, making it a very personal experience when disasters strike in parts of the world where alumni live.

“They come back here to visit, they’re proud of being Syracuse University graduates, they live that connection every day of their life,” she said. “It’s up on their Facebook: ‘Syracuse University graduate.’ And that keeps the name of Syracuse University alive all around the world.”

“I think that our connection with the world is not just academic, it’s not just philanthropic, it’s very real people who are connected to our educational system,” Burak said.

Students will get an inside look at the different types of wines and how to evaluate and taste them, and will learn how to properly pair wines with foods. Of course, you must be at least 21 years old to take this class, so if you are too young right now, put it on your SU course bucket list.

MYSLICE IS RIGHT Find your most compatible schedule by matching classes to your personality

There’s a huge difference between the classes currently sitting in your shopping cart on Myslice vs. the classes you will actually end up taking. Unless a class is specific to your major, there is no guarantee you will get into it.

Some classes will be full before your designated signup time slot, others will be reserving seats for undergrads.

Therefore, it’s essential to have at least

one backup ready for a last second schedule switch. But, instead of taking a class you have no desire for, take our advice and cater it to your personality.

If it’s something you’re mildly interested in, maybe you’ll at least show up to the first lecture.

inspector gadget NEW 300: “How to make almost anything on the web” If you call yourself a techie, you need the program-

ming skills to back up the claim. Updating your blog on Tumblr or changing the typeface on WordPress is child’s play compared to what you’ll learn in this class. As the title suggests, you’ll learn it all — or almost all of it, anyway. It’s only one credit, but be warned: This class is not for the faint of heart, as it is a five-week intensive crash course in the world of code.

IST 263: “Web Design and mgmt” Now that you know how to produce content for the web, it’s time to make it look nice. As a tech junkie, you probably understand that HTML organizes the content while CSS changes the way everything looks.

But this class, while challenging your knowledge of coding, lets you get creative. The goal is to create an intuitive user-based experience. If you like BuzzFeed’s lists, this class will teach you the skills necessary to create something similar.

IST 486: “Social media in the enterprise”

— Compiled by The Daily Orange feature staff

Anyone who has perused Twitter for Syracuse University mentions has probably seen the notorious #RotoloClass hashtag. In this class you’ll not only learn to promote and search for content, you’ll also analyze and evaluate trends, and learn the science behind social media. Tweets are mandatory, a Facebook is recommended and get yourself a Google+ account if you don’t have one already.

If you pack your class schedule too tightly, you might not have time to eat lunch. Instead of skipping it, take a class that requires you to eat. This cooking class aims to teach students how to cook easy, well-balanced meals, as well as identify ingredients. After this, ramen noodles should never be on your grocery list again.

nsd 225: “nutrition in health” College students aren’t exactly known for eat-

ing healthy, so break that stereotype by enrolling in this class. Students will learn about nutrient requirements and functions, and also what foods to eat to gain them. Topics will also include weight control and the truth about dietary supplements.

fst 202: “Agroecology”

Before food is on our dinner table, it goes through a long, tedious process. If you’re curious about the agricultural industry, this is the class for you.

Students will learn the biological processes in the American food system, including types of soil, pest control basics and socioeconomic policy.

However, this class doesn’t actually indulge in eating food — so bring a snack to lecture.

Locally, you have Onondaga Lake Park and a little farther north are the countless trails in the Adirondacks — and, let’s be honest, if Sasquatch exists, it’s probably there. Bonus: The only class supplies you’ll need are some hiking boots and a backpack.

EFB 326: “Diversity of plants” You’re not truly an outdoorsman — or outdoorswoman — unless you can identify each tree and plant on any given hike. If you can’t tell the difference between a maple tree and a great oak, this class will teach you how. Or, take this class to learn which plants to eat to save your life, should you ever get lost during a backpacking excursion.

PED 225: “Advanced scuba” While it may not be the first thing to come to mind

when you think of the outdoors, scuba diving is about as adventurous as it gets. This class is a far cry from when you used to wear a snorkel in the bathtub. Yes, there are some tests and a class fee, but by the end of the semester, you have the option to get certified, allowing you to scuba dive — without a professor’s supervision — anywhere you go.

tips and tools Swap not drop: Hidden in plain sight, the swap feature is one of the most useful stress-preventing tools on MySlice. If you’ve signed up for a class but decided to change it for another, use the swap feature instead of the drop button to ensure that you don’t lose a spot in your old class if the new one is already full.

1

Override the time conflict: If you’re having trouble deciding between two classes that happen at the same time, you can delay your decision by overriding the time conflict. In your shopping cart, click the corresponding button before registering and you will be given a spot in both classes, and just drop one after trying both out.

2

Schedulizer: This quick and easy planning tool allows users to layout semester class schedules online. Pick the classes you are most interested in and Schedulizer will create a number of different options for you so you won’t have to worry about conflicting courses. With this convenient online tool you can also restrict your search by class times, excluding those early morning or late night options.

3

Advising time: Meet with your advisor as soon as possible for some guidance if you feel overwhelmed when planning which classes to enroll in. While you’re at it, remove some of that built up anxiety by planning out the courses you need to take for the rest of your time at SU, so maybe next time around, your stress levels won’t be through the roof.

4

Waitlist: The waitlist option is another obvious but often-overlooked feature. Odds are at least one class you want to enroll in will be filled before you scheduled time. But if you’re set on taking the class, be sure to request the waitlist simply by checking the box.

Limited edition Red Harvest Stout fails to live up to Guinness quality

By Avery Hartmans

BEER BITES

It occurred to me the other day that I have been completely ignoring stouts all semester.

There hasn’t been a thick, dark beer in my refrigerator for months. I have been f lat-out disregarding anything of the porter variety.

Well, this week was the time to fix that, especially since the change in weather made me crave something thicker, darker and more f lavorful.

When I first think “stout,” I think Guinness, probably because it was the first beer I learned how to pour (at an inappropriately young age), and also because I’m a good Irish lass. And when I heard that Guinness had released a new, limited edition Red Harvest Stout in September, I had to try it.

But like many things, there’s just no beating the original.

It’s not that the Red Harvest Stout was bad, because it wasn’t. But it sure was underwhelming and not nearly stout-y enough for my taste. It poured out dark, but almost ruby red. It smelled like a Guinness and kind of looked like a Guinness, but let’s just say it didn’t quite live up to its name.

My biggest complaint about this beer was the head. When it poured out, it had that cool, cascading head that’s pretty characteristic of a Guinness: It rises from the bottom of the glass upward and culminates in a thick foam at the top. But it never dissipated, even after I let the beer rest from all the exertion of being

poured out of the can.

In fact, I made it through nearly half an episode of “Game of Thrones” before what looked like a layer of heavy cream subsided enough for me to take a sip without an instant foam mustache.

And after teasing me for half an hour like the saucy minx I expected it to be, the beer turned out to be kind of a letdown — all show and no reward. In fact, the only word I can think of to describe it is shallow.

The Red Harvest lacked the flavor and intricacies of a regular Guinness, or any kind of halfway decent stout, so it tasted more like Irish Red ale. It was seasonal, definitely, and was nice to sip on. But if the Red Harvest Stout were a person, it would be one of the more vapid ones.

I did enjoy the beer. It was pleasant and it was nice to look at, but it wasn’t anything to wow the taste buds. I do have to give props to Guinness, however, for the Red Harvest’s backstory: It’s named for the Irish holiday of Samhain, which celebrates the end of fall and the coming of winter. Since there was practically a blizzard on Tuesday night, this seemed appropriate.

But cool marketing ploys aside, in the end I decided this beer should just be treated like you’d treat your one-night stand: hit it and forget it.

Whodunnit?

By Zoe Malliaros CONTRIBUTING WRITER

rime buffs in search of a thrill won’t need to play a game of Clue or wait to catch the next episode of “CSI” this weekend, because forensics and crime scene investigations are coming to campus.

This Thursday, the Forensic Science Graduate Student Organization is hosting its annual Murder 201 event at 8 p.m. in the Life Sciences Complex, room 201. The organization takes a stab at creating and solving a mock crime, and invites all students to attend and help catch the killer. The event is free and perfect for students on a budget looking for something interesting to take part in this weekend.

The murder mystery has been happening since 2010 and has a dynamic setup for the night’s events. Students will pass through three different stations to essentially solve a mock crime. “[In the first room], we will provide participants with a background story, then they will pass through stations giving them a quick overview of a few different areas of forensic science,” said Riley Lochner, the event coordinator and graduate student in the College of Arts and Sciences.

First, students will learn basic information about DNA analysis, forensic pathology and impression evidence, bloodstain pattern analysis and fingerprinting. With this knowledge, participants will then move on to the next room and apply what they have learned to a crime scene. Here, students will examine the victim and the crime scene, and attempt to answer the who, what, when and how.

The crime scene will be brought to life with a real model and theatrical makeup that simulates an actual crime. The victim’s body will be covered in fake cuts and blood to make the scene feel like a real-life experience.

At the final stop, students will interview four suspects to solve the crime. And after passing through all three rooms, the students will learn the truth.

“There will be a slideshow of what actually happened, and it will explain the purpose of the program,” Lochner said. “Students will be able to apply the knowledge they learned in each of the rooms when they find out the details.”

As an added bonus, all participants are welcome to free refreshments and a goody bag. The event is intended to give students insight into the real world of forensics and is a unique experience for students to do some hands-on learning — something not available in a game of Clue. zmalliar@syr.edu

SU Boxing Club members train for Fight Night

By Kate Capodanno STAFF WRITER

The Syracuse University Boxing Club is revitalizing a long-lost tradition by hosting the first fight on its home turf since 1957.

The club will host College Boxing Fight Night at 6 p.m. on Saturday in the Women’s Building. Tickets are $8 for students and $10 for general admission. A portion of the proceeds will be donated to at-risk youth.

The fight night is going to be a special event, said Tony Chao, captain of the club and a junior illustration major. He said it is great that students and the local community will finally be able to watch the SU Boxing Club compete, and the boxers will see all of their hard work and training pay off.

Ten students from the club will be fighting

on Saturday, eight of whom are 0-0 for the year.

Tomas Smith, vice captain of the club and a sophomore chemistry major, said this is the first time many of the boxers will be fighting competitively.

“Even though a lot of the guys are still learning and still pretty new, I feel like they have a lot of heart, and that is something you’ve got to be born with,” Smith said. “You can teach technique and everything, but heart is just to go in there and fight and not give up, and that is what our guys can do.”

At the event, the team will compete against boxers from the University of Maryland, several Canadian teams and some local Syracuse gyms.

“We are breaking the cleavage between college boxing and inner-city boxing and allowing community integration,” said Joe Stray, head coach of the club and a senior sociology major.

Stray, the 2012 New York state boxing champion, collaborated with Ray Rinaldi, director of both the North and West Area Athletic Education Centers in Syracuse and Stray’s former coach, to organize the event. Rinaldi said college boxing is coming back to schools across the country, which is a good thing because it allows kids who are attracted to fighting to do it in a safe environment.

Boxing was traditionally popular among East Coast universities, but fell out of the spotlight, said Geghard Arakelian, a firstyear student in the Composition and Cultural Rhetoric Doctoral Program.

“A lot of people would like to think of the College Boxing Fight Night as simply an event put together by the boxing club on campus,” said Arakelian. “However, it’s more than that. It’s the making of SU history.”

The boxing club plays a large role in the lives of these students. Arakelian said the club does not just teach its members to throw punches, but it also gives them a place within the SU community.

Arakelian said because they are fighting at the amateur level, the boxers don’t know whom they are fighting until the day of weigh-ins.

“That adds to the level of anticipation and excitement because you really have no idea who you are going to be going up against,” he said.

“So, competition isn’t really so much between you and this person. It really comes back to you and the competition with yourself.”

After Saturday, the club hopes to host another home show on the Quad during the spring semester and compete again in April at the championship in Miami. kacapoda@syr.edu

Gallery opens in Warehouse on Friday, features Latin art

By Bodeline Dautruche CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Starting Friday, a new art gallery will bring a certain Latin American flair to the people of Syracuse in its premiere exhibit.

Point of Contact, a nonprofit organization sponsored by Syracuse University, will celebrate the opening of its new gallery space in the Warehouse by throwing a reception for its first exhibit titled “Tango-Opera,” which is running until Dec. 19.

On display will be one of the gallery’s signature pieces, “Tango,” and local soprano Catalina Cuervo will perform an intimate set, furthering

the Latin American theme. Tickets for the hourlong event are $25, but from 7-8 p.m., the gallery will be open to the public free of charge.

Since 2005, the gallery operated out of a small storefront on East Genesee Street, but it recently moved to a bigger space at the Warehouse, 350 W. Fayette St. Miranda Traudt, who has been Point of Contact’s managing director since October, said the move was necessary to expand and create a stronger connection to Syracuse.

“It allows a space for growth since it is three times larger,” Traudt said.

Point of Contact prides itself on showcasing both verbal and visual contemporary art from

around the world. It has a strong Latin American influence, which is evidenced by the “TangoOpera” event. On display will be a 20-piece portfolio art book, which consists of eight intaglio prints and 13 pages of text, created by Argentine writer Pedro Cuperman and New York artist Nancy Graves. The book will unfold the complexities of the Latin American tango dance.

“I think that it will be fun,” Traudt said. “Guests will enjoy a performance by opera singer, Catalina Cuervo, in an intimate and unique setting.”

Cuervo is starring in Syracuse Opera’s current production, “Maria de Buenos Aries.” Cuervo will portray the show’s protagonist in the pro-

duction, which is composed by Ástor Piazzolla.

Point of Contact will be presenting special gifts to both long-time and new supporters that have made sizable monetary contributions to the gallery. People can also donate any amount when they arrive at the event, and the money will go toward keeping the gallery at the forefront of art exhibition in Syracuse by expanding its reach to more people in the community.

Said Traudt: “Point of Contact will continue to showcase artists from around the world and hopefully offer more events such as this and collaborate with other organizations.” bkdautru@syr.edu

Columnist picks SA presidential candidate by analyzing critical criteria

t’s the most wonderful time of the year!

Starbucks has prematurely brought out everything that could possibly taste like gingerbread, and ice has formed on every hill, creating the chance for hilarious lifethreatening falls.

But most exciting of all is electing the next Student Association president.

Probably the first question that voters ask when trying to figure out for whom to vote is, “Wait, there’s an election going on?”

Yes, there is. And today is your last day to vote.

I get it. Pulling yourself away from that Tumblr blog of cats with glasses or pigs with sunglasses or pretty much any animal with ocular devices is difficult. I can help. I’ve researched the candidates so you don’t have to. Get ready, because this less-masculine Rachel Maddow is about to drop some superficial political commentary.

The candidates for president of SA are Ivan Rosales, Boris Gresely and Duane Ford.

Judging solely by their names, Duane and

CHRISTIAN UNKENHOLZ

that guy Boris already seem to be lagging behind. For instance, if Ivan ends up doing a poor job as president, I can go for the easy world history joke and say, “More like Ivan the Terrible, am I right?” — all to the raucous groans of everyone close by.

It’s great because it saves me from researching who Russian politician Boris Yeltsin actually is, or trying to make strained sports references related to Dwyane Wade.

The next step in my research process was to actually see what each of them looked like. And lo and behold, each of them looks exactly like what I expect from a leader: They all own suits and have the jawline of a president, or at the very least a Romney.

Really no distinction there.

But now we move into the most important part of addressing who will be the most effective SA president with all the power.

No, not their policies. I’m talking about their cheap publicity stunts.

Boris started out strong. I was greeted in my bathroom with stickers on the stall doors advertising the “Boris and Daniela” campaign. I’m sure every person who had a rough night at the frats and/or Taco Bell saw them, instantly instilling in them the desire to get involved in student government.

Ivan’s campaign took a less subliminal approach. As I walked through the dining hall one day, an aggressive woman yelled, “Vote for Ivan!” in my general direction.

Being about as skittish as a cat forced to wear glasses for some cruel Tumblr photographer, I instantly felt like I needed to vote her way or get beat up for my lunch swipes.

I’ve yet to encounter any poop stickers or yelling women related to Duane’s campaign.

But maybe the biggest gimmick of them all is

not giving me a gimmick to be snarky about.

Pretty crafty, possible-President Ford.

But none of them seem to match my priorities right now. I’m talking about investigating who in the Ernie Davis Dining Hall is putting a singular stringy hair into every one of my sandwiches, or cutting down that smelly tree by the Hall of Languages. You know, the one that smells like the perfect storm of feet and death.

So, who do I think should win? Cue the drum roll. I’ll probably vote for Ivan. Not only for the jokes that could be made and fear of his hired lady goons, but also because he genuinely seems to want to listen to us students and our complaints.

Sadly for him, I am a man with a lot of complaints. The first thing I’d like him to fix is the cold weather. Hop to it, bud.

switching sets and coverage assignments on a play-by-play basis.

It’s caught up to the front seven — just in time for the defense’s biggest challenge of the year: pressuring Jameis Winston and No. 2 Florida State.

“We want to put pressure on him,” Whigham said. “We were watching tape and we realized that not a lot of people have put a lot of pressure on him. They really get vanilla with him.

“So our game plan is really just coming after him like we always come after people and see where that gets us.”

Syracuse (5-4, 3-2 Atlantic Coast) and its balanced defense fly south to Tallahassee, Fla., as five-touchdown underdogs to take on the nationally contending Seminoles (9-0, 7-0) on Saturday at 3:30 p.m. After six games of tweaking, the Orange proved it could seamlessly rotate between its traditional 4-3, a 3-4 and a 3-3-5 — also known as the “Okie” package — and will need to stay deceptive to keep Winston uncomfortable.

“You’ve really got to play a flawless game in all three phases to even put yourself in position (to win),” defensive tackle Jay Bromley said.

And then you need a break.

“I hope Jameis Winston loses his helmet, can’t find one and can’t play the game,” Bromley joked.

But upset or no upset, any bid starts in FSU’s backfield. That’s where Bromley and Co. have been successful all season, racking up 27 sacks.

Bromley’s eight sacks rank fifth in the ACC and his three forced fumbles are tied for first.

First-year starting defensive ends Robert Welsh and Micah Robinson picked up tells from opposing centers in the last two weeks, and Dyshawn Davis announced his return from a high-ankle sprain with a crushing sack on

Farr and Degnan have scored a combined 12 goals this season, and all but one of those came after ACC play began. In that Who: Michigan State same time frame, Where: J.S. Coyne Stadium Nerbonne has When: Saturday, 11:30 a.m. made six starts and become a key substitute for the Orange down the stretch.

Evans has started every game this season, but her defense improved tremendously during the second half of the season.

“It’s about going in with confidence, not underestimating yourself, and believing in yourself more than anyone else would,” Degnan said.

SU head coach Ange Bradley said that playing some of the best teams in the country is often the best form of learning. After seeing how her underclassmen performed against Michigan State, Duke and North Carolina, she said it’s not even fair to call them freshmen anymore.

“If they were going to be in over their head, it would have happened,” Bradley said. “These kids have been seasoned. I hope they’re thinking of themselves as sophomores at this point.”

In many ways, the Orange’s performance in the tournament will depend on the freshmen and how they handle pressure. However, their play during the regular season suggests they have what it takes to help carry the team to a title.

Then the celebration can last a little longer than it did earlier this week.

C.J. Brown to end Maryland’s first drive last Saturday.

“If we let (Winston) sit back in the pocket just like most good quarterbacks, he’ll pick you apart,” Bromley said. “Corners can’t cover for four or five seconds.”

Five seconds is asking too much, but at least now the defense can ask.

The most glaring lapses from SU’s earlyseason defeats all came from the secondary.

Jeremi Wilkes biting on a pump-fake as Penn State’s Allen Robinson ran past him.

Fifty-one yards. Touchdown.

Whigham turning to watch Northwestern’s Tony Jones sprint by him, uncovered, up the right sideline. Forty-seven yards. Touchdown.

Ri’Shard Anderson stumbling out of the break as Clemson’s Sammy Watkins burned him on a stop-and-go. Ninety-one yards.

Touchdown.

Whigham said the frequent formation shuffling led to many of the gaffes. But now the defensive backs are comfortable. They became the aggressors against Maryland.

Durell Eskridge stayed back on a Brown pump-fake with six minutes left in the first half and leapt to intercept his overthrow. Whigham jumped a corner route he saw earlier in the game for SU’s second turnover on the next drive.

“We’ve got some guys with good ball skills,” defensive backs coach Fred Reed said.

It’s all connected. The varying formations, the pass rush and the secondary. Robinson said the Okie has been most effective because it’s the most multiple, featuring a fifth “star” defensive back.

“It’s got to be crazy for the quarterback to figure out where the pressure’s coming from every down,” Whigham said.

That execution will be crucial for Syracuse to hang with Florida State. It might not be enough, but it would give SU a chance.

“What better time than now?” Bromley said. “Thanksgiving’s in a couple weeks.”

SU women’s team surges up ranks, into NCAA Regionals

By Matt Schneidman Staff Writer

The Syracuse women’s cross-country team finished the 2012 season without a single vote toward the national rankings after starting the season ranked No. 9 in the country.

Who: NCAA Northeast Regional One year later, Where: New York City the Orange has its When: Friday, 11:45 a.m. highest ranking in two seasons, sitting at No. 19 in the country. As it heads into the Northeast Regional championships this Friday in the Bronx, N.Y., both the coaches and players see Syracuse as a completely transformed team.

“Last year we had a really bad season,” sophomore Brianna Nerud said. “We all came together as a team and wanted to do big things.”

The Orange started this year outside the top 30, and even through Week 4, it hadn’t cracked the national rankings.

Its meteoric rise in Week 5 saw the Orange secure its first top-20 spot since September 2012, a vast improvement head coach Chris Fox credits to the runners’ mentality.

“They’ve got a lot better which has helped build confidence,” Fox said. “A lot of this is about confidence, and they’re a confident group right now.”

Saturday when the Orange takes on Colgate (0-1) at 4:30 p.m. in the Carrier Dome. It’s a game that’s sure to be broken up by frequent whistles and trips to the free-throw line.

Who: Colgate “Now it’s virWhere: Carrier Dome tually almost When: Saturday, 4:30 p.m. any contact is a Channel: YES foul,” Boeheim said.

Syracuse and its opponents combined to average 34.1 fouls in SU’s games last year.

The Big East’s brand of basketball was ugly, but that physicality and the lack of fouls made it pristine. Now with the rule change in effect, fouls are plentiful.

Rakeem Christmas, Trevor Cooney and Michael Gbinije all had four fouls against Fordham. None played more than 20 minutes. The Rams attempted 20 free throws in the second.

SU lived at the line, too. Tyler Ennis took 10 free throws. Jerami Grant racked up nine.

DaJuan Coleman shot eight in just 19 minutes.

Boeheim said the guards didn’t play as strong defense in the second half. After surrendering just 21 points in the first 20 minutes, the Orange gave up 53 in the second stanza.

He said his players stopped guarding once they entered foul trouble. Fordham nailed nine 3s in the second half and Syracuse didn’t hit any.

“They’re going to call fouls,” Boeheim said after the game. “You’ve got to be able to play without fouling.”

But Syracuse couldn’t do that against

Brianna Nerud — are just sophomores and have all gained invaluable experience in the course of this year.

Fox emphasized the importance of maturity in a sport like cross-country and how important the extra year of experience has been.

Not only has the confidence level now peaked, but the cohesiveness has, too.

“We have great team chemistry,” Fox said.

“I think that’s one of the keys to us being as good as we are.”

Jesse Petersen, who’s been on the “traveling” team since her first day as a freshman, said she’s never been a part of a team that gets along so well and that has such little separation between the first and last runners.

“I don’t think you can have a high-level team unless you can be unified and really work together as a team,” Nerud said. “It’s really important to be doing it for each other.”

This mentality is what has the Orange believing it has a chance to finish second at regionals and out-run No. 12 Dartmouth. No. 2 Providence is the clear favorite to win the event.

A second-place finish would give the Orange an automatic bid to the national championships next Saturday in Terre Haute, Ind. A third-place finish would still give the Orange a strong chance to secure a spot.

“We would like to go as an auto-bid,” Petersen said. “Second or third would be great, but I think we have what it takes to beat Dartmouth.” mcschnei@syr.edu

Fordham. The Orange fouled a 3-point shooter twice in a one-minute span in the second half.

SU guard Ron Patterson fouled Branden Frazier two minutes later, sending the sharpshooter to the line. Fordham was already in the bonus just more than six minutes into the second.

“You can’t really touch them on the defensive side,” Patterson said.

The surge in fouls isn’t just a trend in Syracuse games. On Tuesday, the KentuckyMichigan State game featured 46 fouls and 53 free throws. The Duke-Kansas marquee matchup later that night had 53 fouls and 63 free throws.

B.J. Johnson said the rule changes give a slight advantage to the offense. He usually throws in the occasional hand-check to keep the offensive player in front of him. Now he can’t.

Johnson tweeted his discontentment with the changes after the game.

“The new foul rule is the worst,” he tweeted.

C.J. Fair added that the key moving forward is adjusting to the way the referees are going to call the game. Now it might be beneficial to let offensive players head toward the rim if they blow by you.

On Tuesday, though, Fair admitted the excessive fouls did detract from the game.

“It was a free-throw contest,” Fair said of Tuesday’s game. “It did slow it down. Kind of got us out of sync on offense.”

Colgate, like Fordham, uses a guard-heavy game. Syracuse will need to adjust and learn to cope with the new rules.

“The way they’re calling the game,” Boeheim said, “if you get to the basket with the ball there’s a 90 percent chance there’s going to be a foul called.” tbhass@syr.edu

Orange tries to build on home success with Dome opener

By Phil D’Abbraccio Asst. Copy Editor

The last time Syracuse played on the Carrier Dome floor, the Orange honored its senior class and proceeded to upset then-No. 13 Louisville.

The night of March 4 served as a punctuation mark to a strong home showing throughout the entire season.

SU went 13-1 and on average outscored Who: Dartmouth the visiting oppoWhere: Carrier Dome nents by 24.2 points.

When: Today, 7 p.m.

All but one of the Orange’s 13 home victories were decided by more than 10 points.

Syracuse was dominant at home a year ago.

The attempt at an encore starts Thursday night.

“It’s a new year,” SU senior guard Rachel Coffey said. “We’re coming in and we got to focus on this year.”

UP NEXT

“We’re all to the point where we want to play, we’re kind of a little tired of practicing.

We’re excited to have the games and we’re excited to be home.”

Quentin Hillsman

SU head coach

After gutting out a season-opening win at Washington State on Sunday, the Orange returns home and will play host in the Carrier Dome for the first time this season. SU (1-0) will take on Dartmouth (1-1) on Thursday at 7 p.m. in its home opener.

After a long offseason of training and practicing, SU head coach Quentin Hillsman is pleased the season is underway.

“It’s good to be playing,” Hillsman said.

“We’re all to the point where we want to play, we’re kind of a little tired of practicing.

We’re excited to have the games and we’re excited to be home.”

Still, the one-game road trip wasn’t easy. The Orange faced a Washington State team that finished 11-20 a year ago but returns four starters, and SU trailed by three points at halftime.

Brianna Butler — the second leading scorer of all SU’s returning players — shot just 1-of-8 from the field in the first half. As a team, the Orange struggled from 3-point range, shooting 2-for-11 in the first half, and shot less than 36 percent from the field.

But in the second half, Syracuse pulled it together. Senior center Shakeya Leary completed her double-double to finish with 21 points and 16 rebounds — a career-high in both categories.

Thanks to a strong second-half performance, the Orange heads into Thursday night’s matchup with the Big Green with confidence.

“I think we’re looking pretty good,” sophomore guard Brittney Sykes said. “It was a good win to have as a first game, being on the road and the other side of the country. It showed that what we do in practice pays off and those times we were tired, we fought through it.

“Going into this game on Thursday, I think we just got to work out the kinks we need to polish up and prepare for Dartmouth.”

Thursday’s meeting with the Big Green kicks off a 10-day, four-game stretch for the Orange, all at the Carrier Dome, where the team will have chances to round into form against nonconference opponents.

Although the Atlantic Coast Conference portion of SU’s schedule doesn’t start until January, the Orange understands the importance its nonconference slate holds as a test.

SU survived its first nonconference matchup. It’ll have home-court advantage in its second out-of-conference game, but Hillsman knows his team needs to play its game regardless of location.

“We take none of these games for granted,” Hillsman said. “We need to come out, execute, and play clean basketball. Play hard and do the things we need to do. That’s going to get us ready for our conference season.” pmdabbra@syr.edu

Against Penn State, Northwestern and Clemson, the Orange allowed a combined nine passing plays of 30-plus yards. Eight of 40-plus. Four of 50-plus. But in SU’s back-toback wins against Wake Forest and Maryland, it’s given up none longer than 26.

Even without top cornerback Keon Lyn, the defensive backs have mended the “alignment issues” Julian Whigham said plagued the group early on. The improved secondary is comfortable

The freshmen on No. 2 Syracuse (16-3, 4-2 Atlantic Coast) have said all season that they came to SU to compete for national championships. So when the Orange received the second seed during the NCAA tournament selection show Sunday night, they were ready to let loose and celebrate.

“We were definitely on pins and needles,” back Lindsey Nerbonne said. “We were all on the edge of our seats. Once we saw our names up there, everyone was just ecstatic and jumping around and stuff.”

But mere hours later, it was back to business.

For the Orange, official work begins at J.S. Coyne Stadium on Saturday at 11:30 a.m. against Michigan State (13-9, 4-2 Big Ten), which defeated Miami (Ohio) 3-0 to earn a spot in the 16-team bracket.

“It’s awesome that it’s finally here,” Farr said of the tournament.

“We can finally put everything we’ve worked for into winning the national championship.

“It’s what we’ve been going for all season.”

But it’s only recently become apparent that all four are key to
