Group less active 1 year after sit-in Faculty discuss support for THE General Body

By Brett Samuels managing editor

Over the course of 18 days last November, THE General Body made its presence known across the Syracuse University campus.

The group occupied the lobby of Crouse-Hinds Hall starting on Nov. 3, 2014, rallied at the Remembrance Wall and protested outside the chancellor’s house in the snow, among other events. After the sitin concluded on Nov. 21, 2014, protesters said their new motto was “Coming Back Stronger.”

However, following a few protests and other events in the spring, THE General Body has been largely absent from the public eye. The group’s website’s homepage hasn’t had a new post since July 16 as of Tuesday, and

its Twitter page isn’t particularly active. But while the group may not be operating as visibly as it once was, its members are still part of conversations with administrators on campus issues.

what is the general body?

THE General Body is a coalition of student organizations that staged an 18-day sit-in in Crouse-Hinds Hall in November 2014 to protest topics listed in the group’s 45-page list of grievances and demands.

“The students that were looking for a way to engage in decision making in this community have found a way to do that,” said Bea González, a special assistant to Chancellor Kent Sy verud who

served as a liaison to THE General Body during the sit-in.

The Daily Orange reached out to about a dozen members of THE General Body to request interviews. The group declined to comment for this story.

González said protesters who are a part of the organization have joined various university workgroups and climate assessment groups in order to have a voice in discussions about the future of the university. González still hears from some members of THE General Body regularly, she said.

“I made some new friends,” she said with a laugh. “I met a few students I may not have met otherwise.”

general body page 4

By Justin Mattingly news editor

Two weeks into a student-led protest that spanned 18 days, Don Mitchell stood at the Remembrance Wall in front of Hall of Languages on a cold and rainy November day, proclaiming his support for the controversial protesters.

“This university is at a crossroads and we owe a deep debt of thank you to THE General Body for pointing to exactly where that crossroads is,” said Mitchell, a geography professor at Syracuse University, at the Nov. 17, 2014 rally. “They sit-in and I stand with them precisely because they are pointing to the exact pressure points in this university where we can make change

— change that we need to make.”

Standing surrounded by posters affirming support for THE General Body, a coalition of student organizations, Mitchell was one of about 50 SU faculty members to attend the rally. THE General Body staged an 18-day sit-in in Crouse-Hinds Hall in November 2014 to protest topics listed in the group’s 45-page list of grievances and demands.

A year later, despite the lack of an active presence among the group, many of the faculty members who stood by the group’s side last year are continuing to support the coalition.

SU subject librarian enjoys aiding students

By Katie Zilcosky staff writer

For Patrick Williams, the library isn’t only a place to study or browse books, but a place that preserves rare material for future research.

“I think it’s very different to see the books themselves along with the title and the publisher’s name and the dedications to other people, and then see those people’s work in the room as well,” said Williams, a subject librarian at Syracuse University.

“You understand it as a group of people that existed and no just a group of poems the ended up in a text book or an anthology.”

Williams, the subject librarian for English/textual studies, communications and rhetorical studies and linguistics, among other subjects, cites viewing a copy of The Kelmscott Chaucer in a special collection as one of the reasons he wanted to become a librarian.

On a day-to-day basis, Williams will do anything from working one-on-one with students to ordering books in his

subject area for Bird library. He said he has a job that keeps him busy and doing what he’s interested in.

While working in classrooms, Williams assists with projects that utilize the resources the library has to offer. He is involved with courses such as WRT 200: “Do-It-Yourself Publishing,” where students produce items for the Syracuse Zine Fest.

Williams hosts sessions in the Special Collections Resource Center to help inspire their publications.

The Special Collections Resource Center has a vast collection of original materials, ranging from poetry to illustrations to plastics. This is another area that Williams has gotten to work in.

Williams said he often tries to incorporate the Special Collections into his work classrooms.

“It’s pretty mixed up day-to-day.

That’s part of the reason I like it so much because I don’t do the same thing every day,” said Williams. “I thrive on the fact that it’s different stuff everyday.” kazilcos@syr.edu

Bird sees low voter turnout Polling place on SU campus doesn’t see many voters come

Klein discusses climate change during lecture

By Ali Linan asst. copy editor

As the last University Lecture speaker for the fall semester, the Canadian journalist, syndicated columnist and bestselling author insisted to the audience that change is necessary in her speech “This Changes Everything: Capitalism vs. the Climate.”

Klein said one of the biggest issues with climate change and

global warming is the lack of thought people put into it. In fact, people spend a lot of time not thinking about it by watching “cat videos” instead, she said.

Klein cited the weather of the day where Syracuse had a high of 71 degrees. As she sat on a bench and soaked up Vitamin D, she realized that while everything feels good, this weather is not good, Klein said.

“November is supposed to be sweater weather (in this part of the country), not sun-bathing weather,” she said.

Klein’s own personal journey to dedicating her life to this issue began when she realized she couldn’t “fully appreciate the spectacular moments” because as she would do things like eat freshly caught wild salmon, she realized she would have to explain the taste

to her grandchildren because they would not be able to experience it.

This led Klein to write the book, “The Shock Doctrine,” which is also about climate change.

The author said she believes that fixing the issue is about connecting the dots rather than attempting to start from scratch.

“The physical world will change or we will,” she said.

the general body was something entirely different from past demonstrations. David Rubin, dean emeritus of the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications, said the sit-in was the longest and perhaps most intense student protest he’s seen in his 25 years on campus.

He said he believes there are a couple possible reasons for why the organization became less active over time. One is that many of the leaders of the sit-in graduated last spring. Another is that many of their assumptions about the new chancellor’s plans

from page 1

faculty Rally, there was some faculty support. Due to their interest in certain issues, such as divestment and the closing of the Advocacy Center as part of the university’s restructuring of sexual assault services, some faculty members attended protests and rallies over the course of the semester.

Students protested in Crouse-Hinds, meeting with SU administrators and pushing for the implementation of their demands.

On Nov. 11, 2014, a letter posted on THE General Body’s website was signed by about 100 SU professors and instructors supporting the group.

“They were in many ways putting their education to action in terms of working together and organizing in order to negotiate with the institution to make it a place that was more open and more responsible,” said Jessica Posner, a part-time instructor in the School of Art and the department of transmedia.

Faculty really “woke up” following the morning of Nov. 15, 2014 when protesters inside Crouse-Hinds were denied meeting in-person with legal counsel after copies of

dailyorange.com news@dailyorange.com

for diversity, admissions and other issues seemed to ultimately not be true, he said.

But it’s hard to say if the way the protest tapered off is normal, he said.

“There is nothing typical here because this is not that active of a campus and this was a very unusual event,” Rubin said.

Samuel Gorovitz, former dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, said he had experience with protests long before THE General Body’s sit-in. Gorovitz was a dean at Case Western Reserve University when students were protesting the Vietnam War. At nearby Kent State University, four protesting students were killed by National Guard soldiers

in 1970. KSU was temporarily closed, and thousands of their students joined protesters at CWRU. When the students occupied the main road through CWRU’s campus after the shootings, Gorovitz was the liaison between the police on the scene and the students, negotiating a non-violent solution. That experience shaped the way he viewed THE General Body’s sit-in last November, he said.

Gorovitz said he believes the protesters helped bring greater attention to certain issues and helped the SU administration understand its failure to handle a few issues well. Though, he said, some issues were

raised inappropriately.

All protests fizzle eventually, Gorovitz said, and most tend to bring a mix of beneficial and harmful effects with them.

Many issues that the protesters raised were either already being addressed, or have since been addressed, Gonzalez said. She added that she’s learned more about issues like divestment in the past year than she ever thought she would.

“I wish it hadn’t lasted 18 days, but it did,” González said. “Ultimately, we all learned something from that experience.”

the student code of conduct were delivered to them the night before, said Eileen Schell, an associate professor of writing and rhetoric.

Schell said at the beginning of the sit-in there were only a handful of faculty supporters, but when the students were denied legal counsel, “that’s when the faculty got really worked up about it.”

“I think a lot of faculty saw that the students were negotiating with the administration, they were having conversations with the administration and they were staying the course, and I think a lot of faculty grew impressed by the commitment that the students were demonstrating,” Schell said.

Paula Johnson, a law professor at SU, said the denial of a meeting with legal counsel led some faculty and staff members who hadn’t come forward as supporters to come out of the shadows.

She added that the denial of a meeting with legal counsel “struck people as egregious.”

While the majority of THE General Body’s 45-page list of grievances and demands focused on student-centric issues, others, such as problems with tenure and promotion, pulled for changes within policies relating to faculty members.

Now, a year after the original sit-in and

ensuing activism, many faculty members who supported THE General Body then say they are still supportive of the group’s efforts and the issues it brought forward.

still upset about those issues and how they’re affecting faculty, and that moment of last year was a really important moment showing to the faculty that it’s not just us who are upset, but the students too,” Huber said.

Posner, the part-time instructor in the School of Art and the department of transmedia, said the group changed the conversation on campus to make more people aware of certain issues at SU. “I think there’s definitely been a community that’s formed around faculty that came together that coalesced around the student action and I think that energy is still very present,” Posner said.

There are still small signs that read “Faculty Support THE General Body” outside offices in Eggers and Sims halls. There aren’t as many of the signs hanging across campus as there were last November, but faculty members are still backing the group that called them to action.

“I think there are definitely remnants of a community that was formed across departments on campus, across faculty that are tenured, tenure-track or adjunct, and I think that’s very significant,” Posner said.

I think there’s definitely been a community that’s formed around faculty that came together that coalesced around the student action and I think that energy is still very present.

voters The polls at Bird Library were open between 6 a.m. and 9 p.m.

Margaret McKinley, a voting system specialist at the Bird Library Polling Center, said she did not expect a large turnout. As of 9:45 a.m., only five voters had visited the polls.

She said a typical turnout for general election polling at Bird Library is about 35 voters.

McKinley relates the low turnout to the fact that the election is local rather than national.

“When Obama ran in 2012, we closed the polls at 9 p.m. but the line of people still stretched around the library,” McKinley said. “There were 300 to 400 people waiting in line after the polls closed.”

Another reason McKinley cited for the lack of voters is personal disinterest.

“Maybe they are frustrated with what elected officials are doing or have become disillusioned with the electoral process,” she said.

McKinley said she sees a few students vote, but noted that the majority of the students at Syracuse University are registered to vote in places other than Onondaga County.

Danielle Schaf, a freshman anthropology major from Nebraska, voted on Tuesday at Bird Library.

In the past, Schaf was stopped while walking on the Quad and asked if she would like to register to vote, which led to her participation

in Tuesday’s election.

“If I hadn’t been stopped on the Quad, it probably would have slipped my mind,” Schaf said.

She said she believes it is important for students to vote because they will be the ones leading the country in a few years, and attributes their lack of participation to their being uninformed.

“I felt like I wanted to vote,” Schaf said.

“My vote does matter.”

LIVING WAGE Syracuse Common Council supports minimum wage increase for city employees

By Hanna Horvath staff writer

T

he Syracuse Common Council introduced a resolution last week supporting Mayor Stephanie Miner’s push to raise the minimum wage for city employees to $15 per hour.

Miner’s decision to raise the minimum wage for city employees went into effect on Oct. 21, and the resolution expressing support by the Council was released just five days later. The new city minimum wage applies to full-time city employees working for at least 10 weeks a year. This legislation will affect more than 60 employees, many of whom are parking checkers,

information aides and general laborers, and will cost the Syracuse government about an extra 200,000 a year, according to Syracuse.com.

“No hard working City employee should struggle to make ends meet. For their hard work and public service, they deserve a living wage,” Miner said in a press release. “I am pleased to have the support of our Councilors who seek to stand with the working men and women who make our City run.”

Fourth District Common Councilor Khalid Bey spearheaded the resolution. He argued that raising Syracuse’s minimum wage is “long overdue” and would set “a new standard in the effort to help working families become more

sustainable,” according to a press release.

The resolution states that a Living Wage Ordinance has not been passed in Syracuse since 2005, when the minimum wage was raised to $8.75. Since that ordinance was adopted 10 years ago, the cost of living has risen significantly in Syracuse, leading to a discrepancy between certain wage rates in the city.

In the resolution, the Common Council vowed to work with the Miner’s administration to resolve any issues with contracts that would arise from the implementation of this new law.

Miner had previously expressed support for a New York state decision in July to raise the minimum wage for fast-food workers to $15 per hour, saying that it may help decrease Syracuse’s high rates of poverty, according to a press release earlier this year.

Many of the other Common Councilors voiced their agreement with this resolution.

“People who work full-time shouldn’t be poor and that’s what the current minimum wage guarantees — poverty,” Common Councilor-at-Large Pamela J. Hunter said in the press release. “Ensuring a livable wage for all will make our communities and our economy stron-

ger and lead to business growth and more jobs.”

Common Councilor-at-Large Helen Hudson also said in the press release that anyone working 40 hours per week should be able to meet the basic needs of their family.

The Common Council’s support reflects the public’s opinion of the new law. Last month, Siena College published a poll that found that 59 percent of voters support the raising of the minimum wage, compared to 38 percent that opposed the raise, according to the Siena Research Institute.

Not everyone supports this legislation, however. John Sharon, a Republican running in Onondaga County for a seat in the New York State Assembly, expressed his concern over increasing minimum wage in an interview with Syracuse.com.

“One consequence that we would see would involve a loss of jobs amongst service professionals due to cost cutting and automation,” Sharon said to Syracuse.com. “It would limit the opportunities for part-time work, which with many families is vital to their financial survival.” hrhorvat@syr.edu

university lecture The author said she believes it is difficult for people to change because they do not accept or understand a cause that challenges their world views and that individuals do not like big, radical changes but instead prefer small, reasonable changes.

However, Klein said radical change is necessary because according to figures compiled by the World Bank, the Earth’s temperature will increase by four to six degrees Celsius. This will create an unrecognizable world that is “not compatible with anything desirable as an organized civilization.”

Klein insisted that she was not there to scare

the audience, but instead promotes a solution.

“We need to lower emissions by eight to 10 percent a year in Western countries … (but we) can’t do that under the confines of the current system,” she said.

Instead Klein said she believes capitalism is a key issue because what is good for the economy is bad for the planet. This requires people to say “no” to corporations that do things that harm life and to instead think deliberately.

In order to accomplish this, there needs to be “deep change.”

“We need integrated solutions that solve multiple problems at once … (only then will there be) an incredible moment to see change,” Klein said. avlinan@syr.edu

Destiny USA

in 2007, Mahoney ran against Democrat Bill Magnarelli and won with 58 percent of the vote.

In September, Mahoney proposed a $1.266 billion budget for the county for 2016. The proposed budget is slightly less than this year’s budget of $1.268 billion. The 2016 proposed budget would decrease the property tax rate and increase the sewer unit charge.

When Mahoney proposed the 2016 budget, she also proposed to have the vote on future county budgets be moved to Dec. 6 — after the November elections.

In January 2014, there were talks that Mahoney was working together with New York state Gov. Andrew Cuomo, the city of Syracuse and SU to build a stadium downtown that would host some SU Athletics teams, including men’s basketball.

The stadium was proposed to be built in Kennedy Square, about five minutes from the SU campus, and hold about 44,000 people at a cost of nearly $500 million. Plans for the new stadium died after Mahoney could not persuade Syracuse Mayor Stephanie Miner to endorse the project.

Mahoney received her undergraduate and law degrees from SU. Before becoming county executive, Mahoney was a criminal prosecutor in the Onondaga County District Attorney’s Office, a stay-at-home mom and a Syracuse Common Councilor. In 2005, she ran for mayor but lost by 3 percent of the vote to Democrat Matthew Driscoll. Howie Hawkins was also a candidate in the race. smswann@syr.edu | @saramswann

Notices should omit vague descriptors The Department of Public Safety should not include any descriptive details in its public safety notices unless they are distinctive and can be used to identify a suspect.

The ongoing discussion on whether or not DPS should include the race of suspects in public safety notices was raised by Student Association President Aysha Seedat at the assembly’s Monday night meeting. The members’ mixed responses reflect the two main opposing arguments on the topic: Some assembly members felt that disclosing a suspect’s race would help identify the suspect, while others were worried that it could lead to issues of racial profiling.

The debate has lingered on the Syracuse University campus since DPS stopped including suspects’ races in public safety notices in March 2013 after some students cited that they felt marginalized by

the practice.

But the overall usefulness of general descriptors, including race, is limited. The usual height, clothing and age descriptions included in DPS public safety notices only construct a vague image of a person and lack defining characteristics that would be useful in identifying someone.

For this reason, DPS should release descriptive information in public safety notices on a case-bycase basis, only disclosing details for cases in which they can be of significant help in the search for a suspect.

These specifics could include perceived gender, birthmarks, tattoos or the unique nature of a crime.

To include the ethnicity and race of a suspect in safety notices would only contribute to racial stereotypes and fuel a sense of fear among students that would lead to discriminatory racial profiling. Additionally,

scribble

Chief Law Enforcement Officer Tony Callisto has said that racial descriptors haven’t helped DPS identify suspects in the past, according to a Syracuse.com article.

Without the vague description, safety notices would still be a precautionary measure for students, warning them to be aware of their surroundings. Especially since the notices are often sent out several hours after the crime took place, the most relevant information to students is what the crime was and where it took place.

The discussion of race and crime safety reports is important to have on the SU campus.

But considerations should extend past race and spur a stronger conversation about the usefulness of vague descriptors in communications between DPS and the university community.

tional quotes, why not just give it to them directly instead of hiding them in a bigger work that carries the same message?

The problem is that even with material that seems to fit this model well, a quote or passage from a longer piece can never completely carry the same message as the whole book. This is because the intricacies inherent in the full work can’t be perfectly translated to another, shorter, format.

However, the constant sharing of quotes over social media networks has led them to appear to hold more artistic weight than they should. This has, and will continue to, lead to numerous problems with misinterpretation.

Rarely does a week go by without seeing multiple quotes shared online and this is fine, but it becomes problematic when the quote doesn’t truly come from a place of understanding.

Countless people have read “The Great Gatsby,” yet there is a large section of its modern readers who think it is a perfect love story.

Anyone who has a basic understanding of “The Great Gatsby” know this could not be further from the truth; it is an extreme condemnation of blind love.

One thing that made people believe this was the out of context sharing of quotes from the book.

With the young age of many social

media users, these quotes have had the ability to reach people before they have had a chance to read the book for the first time.

Taken out of context, sentences like “so we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past” can sound inspirationally defiant instead of the tragic statement of resignation it is in the book.

Even worse, there are many shareable articles that take quotes from different, disparate sources, and cram them all together so the individuality of the works is blended out until they all carry a same superficial beauty.

There is nothing wrong with having favorite quotes — I have many. But there is definitely a problem with letting quotes hold the same power as the works they’re taken from. This demeans the source material and denies people the full strength they possess. A full work requires more effort, but can yield a more powerful return.

If projects like Strayed’s “Brave Enough” continue, we will have many quotes, but very few great books.

SPORTS history of the number 44

DOUBLE

DIGITS

No. 44 jersey remains elusive 10 years after being retired by Syracuse

By Sam Blum sports editor

E

rnie Davis was an All-American.

A Heisman Trophy winner. A national champion. Floyd Little too was an All-American, three times.

He forever has a spot in the football Hall of Fame. Jim Brown had similar accolades and many more.

The history of No. 44 is ingrained in those three Syracuse legends. But when newly minted athletic director Daryl Gross retired the No. 44 — a number all three wore — he not only elevated their place in Syracuse lore, but so too were 22 names of those who wore the number with far less prominence.

Bill Schnoover was happy when the number was retired 10 years ago. Much like his years wearing 44 in 1962 and 1963 — between Davis and Little — those who had worn the number in recent years had added little to its history.

“I’ve always felt like (I was in exclusive company),’ Schoonover told The Daily Orange in 2005. ‘I have mixed emotions…

It had tradition. It had meaning.”

The number was retired in 2005, with its shining moments highlighted by its three greatest stars. It hangs in the Carrier Dome rafters. For 10 years, it was untouchable, it had become a legend — the legacy of Brown, Davis and Little.

But on May 19, 2015, that all changed. At the groundbreaking ceremony for the No. 44 Plaza, it was restored to the program. The context of its future use was vague. Who would get it wasn’t answered. The criteria to don the jersey were far from clear.

“We don’t have that many traditions, this is one of the better ones, so I’m OK with it,” Little said at the time.

“I talked with Jim Brown. He said,

‘Floyd, you’re there. I’ll roll with you, whatever you call.’”

Schnoover got the number because then-coach Ben Schwartzwalder believed any tailback at the time should have the number. He was a converted linebacker, and suffered from injuries.

So too did quarterback Richard Panczyszyn, who wore the number after Little. Mandel Robinson transferred to Wyoming after wearing the number for a year. Glenn Moore, who wore the number 1980, was more of a backup.

“I didn’t realize how much pressure would come with (the number),” Robinson said in 2005. “If they keep it and put a kid in it, that kid becomes a marked kid.”

Still, the number is “back,” and with some controversy. Former Syracuse great Donovan McNabb spoke out against the decision. Jim Brown himself said he “didn’t exactly endorse” its restoration. Just days after the announcement, the university backtracked on its decision, saying it was a “reiteration” of a policy that had already been in place.

There’s no way to know if No. 44 will ever be worn by a Syracuse player ever again. Nearly 10 years to the date of its original retirement, a decision on its future is still uncertain.

The history of No. 44 is long, but also contained. It’s remembered for the short-term successes those who wore it had, but it’s also impossible to deny the failures that come along in many others who failed to live up to its legend.

“It’s about the culture of Syracuse football,” Shafer said after the restoration. “It’s less about each and every individual and more about what each and every individual represents or represented when they played here.” sblum@syr.edu | @SamBlum3

before the greats, 1921-1954 Fourteen players wore No. 44 before Jim Brown wore it from 1954-56 and 11 of them were a halfback, a wide receiver or a quarterback. Gifford Zimmerman, who wore No. 44 in 1921, was the first player to ever wear the number at Syracuse.

He went on to play in the NFL for the Akron Pros and Canton Bulldogs. The halfback joined the SU basketball team, track team and was the student body president. Henry Merz (pictured second from the right) wore the number in 1933.

PRE-1954

BROWN

the jim brown era. 1954-1956 Syracuse coaches told equipment manager Al Zak that Jim Brown needed a jersey with a number lower than 50, so he tossed him one with No. 44 on it. Brown went on to score the most touchdowns in the country during his senior year at SU and became a Pro Football Hall of Famer. He recruited Ernie Davis to the program, who also wore No. 44.

the ernie davis era. 1959-1961

the decline of the number, 1962-1998

Ernie Davis became the second great to wear the No. 44, donning it for three years just like brown.

Davis led the Orange to its only national championship in 1959 and was the first African-American and only Syracuse player to win the Heisman Trophy. He was selected first in the 1962 NFL Draft, but died due to leukemia in 1963.

After being persuaded to attend Syracuse by a dying Ernie Davis, Floyd Little spent the first season of Syracuse career on the freshman team in 1963. He was given the No. 44 on his first day of varsity practice as a sophomore in 1964, and went on to become the only three-time All-American for the Orange.

DAVIS

LITTLE

the floyd little era, 1964-1966 After Little, quarterback Richard Panczyszyn wore No. 44 from 1967-69. Five more wore the jersey after him, but none came close to leaving the legacy that Brown, Davis or Little did. Mandel Robinson, Glenn Moore, Michael Owens, Terry Richardson and Rob Konrad donned it as the significance sputtered out by 1998.

POST-1966

RETIREMENT

retiring no. 44, 2005 After being worn by players who didn’t live up to the legacy set by Brown, Davis and Little, No. 44 went unworn since 1998. “If there was ever a number that needed to be retired, it is 44,” then-Athletic Director Daryl Gross said in the announcement to retire it. “If you can’t take 44 off the table, then you’re just never going to retire a jersey.”

Grossi simplifies approach

By Matthew Alexander staff writer

Stephanie Grossi walked out of Syracuse’s locker room without any socks, her bare feet touching the cold concrete of Tennity Ice Pavilion.

The bizarre sight caught the eye of Syracuse head coach Paul Flanagan, who asked his star forward what happened to her socks.

Grossi said she lost them, and then declined her coach’s offer for a new pair.

Grossi, Syracuse’s leader in points (12) and assists (9) has it in her nature to defer. Just nine games into the season, she’s cemented herself as a pivotal piece to Syracuse’s (4-5, 2-1 College Hockey America) attack and has drawn comparisons to a quarterback for her innate passing ability.

Off the ice, Grossi is laid back and casual, dancing in the locker room and cracking jokes with her teammates, but it’s been a work in progress to translate the more carefree demeanor to the ice. After working through an early-season scoring drought, Grossi is finally starting to find her footing with a simpler approach.

“I just think we have to guard against her thinking too much,” Flanagan said. “She’s a very cerebral player, very intelligent person …

She’s just got to keep it simple.”

Sometimes, Grossi can get stuck in her own head, placing pressure on herself when she’s not scoring or making a play. For Flanagan, it’s a matter of making sure she doesn’t get too caught up in herself.

Whether planted in the corner or streaking down the wing, the forward has what “you can’t teach:” the ability to look ahead and find someone before the play develops.

Left-handed, Grossi will often look down into the corner on the power play. She described herself as a “backdoor option” near the post, and so far this season, has recorded an assist in all but two games.

“Instinctively, she’s a passer,” Flanagan said. “She’s a playmaker .”

But through the first five games of the season, Grossi had failed to register a goal, and Flanagan suggested it had begun to weigh on Grossi’s mind. On Oct. 21 against RIT, Grossi opened the floodgates and registered a hat trick.

First, she deked the goalkeeper. Then she “undressed” a defender. Both shots soared into the upper corner of the net with pinpoint accuracy.

“She just has what coach Paul (Flanagan) calls a killer instinct,” Alysha Burriss said.

When she sees the puck, like her eyes light up and she’s ready to go.”

The weight has been lifted and Grossi’s play is finally emulating the looseness exhibited in the locker room, where she’ll spontaneously burst out into song and dance.

Her scoring troubles seemingly behind her, the sophomore’s ability to score is evidenced by what she does when she’s at her best.

“The trick,” Flanagan said, “is keeping it going.” mralex01@syr.edu

Cody Stahmer thrives after battle with testicular cancer

By Sam Fortier asst. web editor

Cody Stahmer told his mother to come pick him up as soon as possible.

Nichole Stahmer was in the car driving her younger son, Austin, home from the hospital where he’d just been declared cancer-free.

Something in Cody’s voice told Nichole this was urgent. And when she arrived at Massachusetts Maritime Academy, she found out her older son had already scheduled surgery.

He’d felt a lump in his testicle one day in the shower and drove to a distant hospital to get tests to keep it to himself after several meetings with an on-campus doctor.

Stahmer’s football season had ended and he’d finished his finals. He left school without telling anyone.

Fact to know At Mass Maritime, second semester is “sea term,” which most students spend aboard a ship. That term doesn’t begin until March and stretches until June.

“I didn’t like the fact that people would know I had testicular cancer,” Stahmer said.

“Honestly, I was embarrassed. … It was the scariest moment of my life. I didn’t know what to do. And I don’t think anyone around me knew what to do either.”

Stahmer doubted that he wanted to — or

even could — return to football. He created a goal to return to the gridiron. About 18 months later, he became a starter and one of the most productive members of the Division III Buccaneers’ offense.

He had the tumor surgically removed and fought through days of treatment.

After surgery, doctors still monitored Stahmer, but he was cancer-free by June. He fought that battle away from everyone except his family.

“It was awful,” Nichole said. “Coming off the football season he seemed so strong and just finishing his first semester he was getting his life together … Football was a huge motivator. Cancer wasn’t going to take something he worked so hard for away from him.”

Stahmer knew the chemotherapy would leech the muscle from his body, so he planned ahead. Christmas morning, he unwrapped boxes of Serious Mass High Protein Weight Gainer, a muscle-building shake. The next day, he had his first round.

Chemo sapped Stahmer of energy, grayed his skin and made his hair fall out. He refused to stay overnight at Dana Farber Hospital in Boston.

He awoke at 5 a.m. daily for treatment in exchange for the comfort of home and to have his pitbull, Chief, by his side in bed. All the while, he kept in constant contact with the school nutritionist.

At Mass Maritime, second semester is “sea term,” which most students spend aboard a

ship. That term doesn’t begin until March and stretches until June, time Stahmer fight his private battle.

“I probably should’ve talked to people earlier, if I could go back,” Stahmer said.

“Dealing with it yourself isn’t what you have to do. I was scared and I probably shouldn’t have been.”

I was nervous when he came back. I didn’t know how hard he could go … I’d just never seen anyone do that before. I was impressed by him. He could’ve easily said, ‘I just want to get my degree and get healthy.’

But he’s a competitor.

Jeremy Cameron mass. maritime academy head coach

He finally told his head coach, Jeremy Cameron, one winter day while playing basketball.

He told some of his teammates when they unknowingly teased him about keeping his hair so short to fit military guidelines. He was still thin and weak, but when spring football started in May, Stahmer suited up.

He didn’t miss a single team activity.

“I was nervous when he came back,” Cameron said. “I didn’t know how hard he could go … I’d just never seen anyone do that before. I was impressed by him. He could’ve easily said, ‘I just want to get my degree and get healthy.’

But he’s a competitor.”

Over the summer, he built strength by lifting bigger weights and running longer times in a town gym with former teammate E.J. Bennett.

Dinnertime conversation centered on gaining weight. His mother noticed the difference.

When he arrived back on campus, Cameron thought he looked in better shape than ever.

In his first game back, Stahmer caught two touchdown passes — one was theatrical and “miraculous,” Cameron said — in a blowout win.

“When he scored that first touchdown, oh my God,” Cameron said. “Storybook.”

Cameron sees a new focus an air of seriousness about Stahmer in practice.

But Nichole sees a joy just to be on the field. In his last game on Oct. 31, Stahmer caught a 14-yard touchdown pass and ran off the field with a smile, despite his team trailing by 22 points.

“Every time I see him play football, it’s the coolest thing just to see him out there.

He always flashes this smile,” Nichole said with her voice trailing off. “He knows that he’s better.”

He doesn’t like losing, she said, but it’s in perspective. He’s already beaten something bigger.

Dajuan Coleman won’t have ‘minutes limit’ SU earns top preseason ranking ever

By Jesse Dougherty web editor

Jim Boeheim isn’t going to treat Dajuan Coleman’s left knee like a prized pitcher’s elbow, even if a lot of Syracuse’s potential hinges on Coleman’s health.

In Syracuse’s 97-58 scrimmage win over Le Moyne on Monday, Coleman played 23 minutes but all nine scholarship players ran for at least 10. It’s conceivable that he’ll need to play more than that with the Orange lacking depth at center. Boeheim has said that Coleman will sit because of the fatigue from not playing in two years, but that he won’t be on any kind of “minutes limit” due to his recovered knee.

“It’s either go or not. It’s either he’s going to go and be all right or he’s going to go and not be all right,” Boeheim said at ACC Basketball Media Day on Oct. 28. “It has nothing to do with minutes. He could play two minutes a game and get hurt, or he could play the whole game and not get hurt.”

Boeheim’s logic is simple: If Coleman is scrimmaging in practice at full speed, he shouldn’t be held back in games. Coleman echoed his coach at Syracuse’s annual media day on Oct. 16, saying he never wants to come out and is ready to play a full minutes load.

While he thought his knee, almost obsessively, for the better part of the last two years, Coleman is now able to focus on playing rather than “being careful.”

He’s gone to the floor and practice and gotten up just fine. The last thing Coleman wants, even with his injury past, is to be babied by the coaching staff.

You have to understand, I’ve been playing outside my whole life. Falling, scraping my knee. This is, this not really anything I care about falling on the ground in here.

Dajuan Coleman su center

“You have to understand, I’ve been playing outside my whole life. Falling, scraping my knee. This is, this not really anything I care about falling on the ground in here,” Coleman said, pointing to the team’s practice courts in the Carmelo K. Anthony Center. “I don’t even worry about my knee. I’m fine, I’m fine. I don’t really think about it.”

Heading into the regular season, the Orange will need Coleman to shoulder a minutes load that even slightly resembles Rakeem Christmas’ from a season ago.

According to Kenpom.com, Christmas played 85.1 percent of possible minutes on the season and 92.1 in conference play, which was the highest mark of any Atlantic Coast Confer-

ence big man. Minutes percentage factors in overtime games and games played, and Christmas saw a lower percentage of possible playing time than just five ACC players.

That can’t be expected from Coleman — because of the injuries and his bigger build — but Christmas’ minutes masked SU’s lack of center depth last season. Backup center Chinonso Obokoh doesn’t seem quite ready to contribute, as he failed to grab a rebound and committed three fouls in 11 minutes against a Le Moyne team that had no player taller than 6 feet, 7 inches. To spell Coleman, the Orange has Obokoh or a three-forward lineup that features 6-foot-8, 210-pound Tyler Lydon at center.

Boeheim said Monday that the offense, that’s shifting to the perimeter as is, won’t put too much on Coleman’s plate in the early going. Yet it still seems that Syracuse is not just better off with him on the court, but also noticeably shorthanded when he’s off it. He’s the team’s biggest body, knows the center spot in the zone better than any of his teammates and provides the most tangible low-post scoring threat.

And as of now, Boeheim isn’t going to let the history of Coleman’s left knee dictate his playing time.

“He needs rest. He’ll be out. He’ll be rested, but it won’t be because of (his injuries),” Boeheim said. “It’s just like if he were a guard and he were back healthy he’d play the whole game probably. He’d play the whole game.” jcdoug01@syr.edu | @dougherty_jesse

Syracuse was ranked 23rd in the Associated Press 2015-2016 preseason poll Tuesday — its highest preseason mark in history. Last year, SU broke the AP Top 25 for the first time, earning the No. 24 spot in its preseason ranking.

The Orange was ranked fifth in the Atlantic Coach Conference coaches’ poll almost two weeks ago.

The Orange is coming off a 22-10 (11-5 ACC) season. SU lost to No. 13 seed Wake Forest in its first conference tournament game in March then advanced to the Round of 32 in the NCAA tournament, where it lost to South Carolina.

hercules adds to what Button described as “the mom and pop feel” of the store.

The store does cater to large orders as well, however. Sometimes for corporate events, the company will create up to 300 individually wrapped chocolates a day.

Andrianos pointed to a delicately wrapped box of chocolates. Each box contains 17 different types of cream filled chocolate. Each cream is created over a five day process by her husband, Steven Andrianos. The majority of the work is performed behind the scenes in the downstairs factory.

Steven Andrianos spends 12 hours a day heating, mixing, cooling and molding hundreds of types of candies including the cream filled chocolates, ribbon candy and the all time customer favorite, chocolate covered potato chips.

He said it is important for him to taste test his

dailyorange.com pulp@dailyorange.com

creations but his favorite is simple, plain chocolate.

Precision is key when mixing chocolate, he said. If the chocolate is poured at the wrong temperature, the cocoa butter will separate from the chocolate and rise to the top, creating a “bloomed” effect.

While constantly working rich, melted milk chocolate, Steven said the size of the factory plays no role in the taste of the candy, it is the knowledge of the craft that counts. The small underground factory houses molds, churning buckets, tables and hooks from which ribbon candy is worked.

Steven moved around the space swiftly, expertly flicking switches on the vat churning chocolate producing a smell that wafted across the entire room.

He has been crafting confectionary since he was 12 years old. Now at the age of 60, he shows no signs of slowing down, saying he will work “as long as (he) is here.” rcgilber@syr.edu

It’s like you literally heard her growing up over the course of an album. “21” is consistent in song quality, but doesn’t have the same emotive diversity “19” does. I’d like to imagine that “21” will have been Adele’s dark album in her career, in the same way “Rated R” was for Rihanna. In order to keep listeners from getting bored, Adele needs to channel the increased emotive power of her voice in different ways, and perhaps going back to the whimsical roots of “19” would be

a good thing.

Millions of people have proclaimed their love for “Hello” from the second it released (which oddly feels like forever ago considering how much it’s been talked about and listened to). As always, there will always be haters, and while I am anything but an Adele hater, I have to play devil’s advocate — it really is in the same vein of “21,” and fans are probably hoping for something new, or, if not new, maybe a little less consistently heavy.

Based on the song’s vibe, I’m not sure what direction the next body of work Adele releases is going to be like. Will she include any great covers like “Love Song?” Will she include any surprising collaborations? She hasn’t done so in the past, but it seems like everyone is into doing so these days (though her voice is one that really should stand alone). Bruno Mars is credited as helping write one of the songs on “25,” so perhaps he’ll be singing on it, too?

Hopefully Adele can infuse the simple whimsy of “19” and the powerhouse vocal ability she’s cultivated with the maturity of “21.” In any case, I can’t wait to see what she has up her sleeve. Until then, “I’ll be waiting.”

(I’m very sorry about this lame “21” pun, Adele fans.)

Petite League hosts basement shows in off-campus home, drops 10-track album online

S

eniors Lorenzo Cook and Henry Schoonmaker come from different parts of the world but have a strong mutual passion for music.

Petite League, their two-person band, consists of Cook, a Bandier student from Brussels, Belgium, covering vocals, guitar and bass and Schoonmaker, a geography major from Boston, playing the drums.

Though the two were already musicians before coming to Syracuse University, this is the first time they’ve worked together. Cook has been writing music since he was 13 and was in a band during his high school years in Brussels.

Similarly, Schoonmaker played percussion in high school but didn’t start performing in a band until his sophomore year of college when he joined the four-man group, Conroy Blanc.

In 2014, the two formed Petite League, when Cook recorded his song, “Surviving October” and asked Schoonmaker to drum on the track.

The band name was inspired by a thought Cook had several years ago, when he was brainstorming a side project for himself. He came up with “Petite League,” which translates into “little league” in French.

During 2014, Cook wrote the music and lyrics for their first album “Slugger,” which was released online Oct. 26. The 10-track album can be accessed online for free at petiteleague.bandcamp.com and SoundCloud. They are planning to release audiocassettes as well.

“I wrote some in Syracuse fall semester of last year, (then) picked it up in London when I was abroad,” Cook said. “I wrote the majority when in LA this summer and finished it up this semester back in Syracuse. It has affected the way I wrote for sure.”

Cook and Schoonmaker took an unconven-

tional approach to recording “Slugger” after they decided to turn down a big label.

When Cook had released two of his songs with a smaller label called Mermaid Avenue, he had given them the rights. After doing so, he was approached by a bigger label and decided he wanted to record the band’s music independently.

They wanted to see what they could do on their own, so they started recording at the band’s off-campus house, which they call “The Scarier Dome.”

They start by recording the guitars to a synthetic drum beat using an audio interface Cook has. Afterward, he records the vocals and removes the fake drum so the percussion can be taped.

“I mix it all by ear; I usually record a verse, then chorus, then another verse,” Cook said. “It’s definitely not a conventional way of recording or writing music, but it’s worked well so far.”

Once Cook’s portion of the recording is

complete, Schoonmaker takes the wheel and experiments with beats.

“He’ll send it to me, I’ll think about it and I’ll jam to it,” Schoonmaker said.

Cook and Schoonmaker said their favorite song to play off the album is “My Black Lungs.”

“We thought of it about a week before we were going to record so we just threw it in,” Schoonmaker said. “It’s something you can just jam out to.”

The pair has many plans for growing their band. They plan on producing music videos and VHS sessions, a process in which old VHS cameras are used to record and then mix bands’ live audio.

The band will be performing this Saturday, at their residence, Scarier Dome. They said the best way to contact them is to find Scarier Dome on Facebook and message them asking for the address. They will perform at 9:00 pm and tickets are $3 at the door. rcplaut@syr.edu

FAMILY FLAVORS

Local candy shop continues using recipes passed down through generations Text by Rachel Gilbert asst. copy editor

T

erry Andrianos places a small brown paper bag on the scale and slowly begins dropping homemade coconut clusters into the container, each one hitting the bottom with a satisfying thud.

The chocolate had been hand-crafted, following recipes that have been passed down since 1910 to Andrianos and her husband, the current owners of the family-owned Hercules Candy Company.

The small shop, located in East Syracuse, approximately a 15 minute drive from Syracuse University, is preparing for its upcoming busy season, loading its shelves with bags and boxes of chocolates adorned with wrapping and ribbons that correspond with the fall season.

The shop will be open for National Candy Day, which is Wednesday.

Although Hercules is in full swing production, the tiny factory and store has recently recovered from an armed robbery that happened on Sept. 22.

“People after that were so supportive,” Andrianos said. “They were trying to drum up business saying, ‘Hey let’s go support these guys.’ We were so busy the next day, it’s like there was a holiday coming.”

In the 23 years Karen Button has worked at Hercules, she had never experienced an incident like it.

She said the man came in and approached her with a knife demanding the cash out of the register. Nervously, she fumbled to open it. Growing impatient the man threatened her life, again.

Finally, the till opened and she threw her hands into the air as the man’s knife grazed her fingers.

She returned to work the very next day to serve her favorite regular customers.

“I knew I had to get right back into it,” Button said. “I mean things happen.”

Having installed a round the clock security system and CCTV camera system, the company is now preparing for the slew of oncoming holidays including Thanksgiving, Christmas and National Candy Day.

CANDY CRUSH

Here are three must-haves if you visit Hercules Candy Company: Chocolate covered potato chips: Described as the store’s most popular treat, these sell out fast.

Chocolate drops: An American classic, these dome shaped candies melt in your mouth.

Chocolate bar: You can’t go wrong with plain and simple chocolate.

The season brings upward of 700 people to the store each day, each one looking to tour the factory and watch candy being made before traipsing back into the small shop to fill their pockets with sweets. Every item lining the walls of the cozy shop is hand-crafted in the basement factory of the house.

“I do the molded items as my specialty and then covering things in chocolate like the chips,” said Andrianos as she walked around the store gesturing to the specialty items of each employee.

Andrianos said she prides herself on her molded chocolates: Figurines with various themes, penguins huddling from the cold, a motorbike ready to fly off the shelf and animals wrapped in traditional fall colors.

Button is in charge of wrapping and packaging. She said she enjoys the creative part of the job. Her wrappings have illustrations, glitter and sparkles on them. The attention to detail see hercules page 14

Adele’s sound blossoms in ‘Hello’ as singer steps back into spotlight

M

en silently blubbered onto their laptops in the corner of Bird Library.

Women tweeted all their sorrows.

All of the crying emojis burst into real tears, covering our phone screens in emotion.

ISHA DAMLE SO FRESH, SO CLEAN

These were the results of Adele’s latest single, “Hello,” on the Syra-

cuse University campus, and it’s no wonder why. Much like the rest of Adele’s music, the song is an emotional rollercoaster, and its music video makes her seem like the queen of pop music.

It’s been a while since we’ve seen

or heard from Adele, and the song still holds the same melancholy vibe that “21” did.

That said, “Hello” possesses a vibrant powerhouse quality that, while still prevalent in “21,” is even more emotive. This is probably

because she’s now 27 (her new album’s name is “25”), a mother and had a little break from the arduous experience that is navigating the music industry, so she’s coming back somewhat refreshed.
