LOUISVILLE 41, SYRACUSE 17

ERIC DUNGEY has taken several hits to the head this season, including against Central Michigan and Pittsburgh. The hit against Louisville knocked Dungey out in the fourth quarter once the game was already in hand for the Cardinals.

OUISVILLE, Ky. — Eric Dungey lay squirming on the ground at Louisville’s 24-yard line. His arms curled at his chest, ignoring a teammate’s hand hoping to help the quarterback to his feet.

Sadler cook arrested, charged with 3 offenses

By Justin Mattingly news editor

A cook at Sadler Dining Hall has been arrested and charged with three offenses, including unlawful surveillance, according to a police bulletin.

It is unclear what led to the arrest.

Patrick Martin, 32, of Syracuse, was arrested Thursday at about 12:45 p.m. on the charges of coer-

cion, unlawful surveillance and harassment, according to a Syracuse Police Department bulletin. Martin is listed in the Syracuse University directory as a “Second Cook.” He was arrested at 1000 Irving Ave., which is the location of Sadler Hall.

Neither an incident report nor an arrest report were posted at the police station, as of noon on Sunday.

Sgt. Richard Helterline, a Syr-

acuse police spokesman, said that “due to the sensitive nature” of the case, SPD is not releasing any further information.

Hannah Warren, public information officer for the Department of Public Safety, did not return an email Sunday requesting comment.

Neither did Kevin Quinn, SU’s senior vice president for public affairs. An email to Martin’s SU email address

also went unreturned.

Coercion is defined as “the intimidation of a victim to compel the individual to do some act against his or her will by the use of psychological pressure, physical force, or threats.”

The Faculty Advisory Committee’s initial report on a veteran-focused medical school will give the chancellor a snapshot of faculty sentiments toward the idea, the committee chair said.

University Professor Sean O’Keefe chaired the 21-member advisory committee, which met six times from Sept. 4 to Oct. 12 before submitting its final report to the chancellor on Oct. 23. The committee was charged with further exploring the idea of a firstof-its-kind veteran-focused medical school at the university.

“I mean, it’s very early, and this was precisely the kind of snapshot I think the chancellor was looking for as to what’s everybody thinking right now, rather than giving (him) a lot of detailed recommendations on how to do that,” O’Keefe said.

what is the veteran-focused medical school?

SU is exploring the idea of creating a college of medicine that would accept 40 to 60 undergraduates tuition-free on a commitment that they will work in VA hospitals across the nation upon graduation.

The initial due date of the report was Oct. 5, but O’Keefe said Syverud granted the committee a two-week extension after O’Keefe convinced him the committee would benefit from one more thorough discussion.

The report was obtained by The Daily Orange on Oct. 31, and released by the university on Nov. 3.

The purpose of that discussion, O’Keefe said, was to get the specifics of the report in place and ensure that each committee member felt comfortable that the language used in the report reflected the consensus of input the committee members received from faculty.

By Molly Berger staff writer

Eric Harris’ life goal is to help a billion people. As the current president of Syracuse University Ambulance (SUA), Harris is trying to get a head start.

He got involved with the student-run organization after a few members came to speak in his biology class. Harris, a junior biochemistry major on the pre-med track, decided it would be a good idea to experience working with medicine before medical school.

He described SUA as a “business family.” He said although there are business formalities, the team also has a lot of camaraderie.

“The most difficult part of SUA, as some people would probably not believe, is wanting to separate the time between studying and being at SUA,” Harris said. “I mean, you want to be at SUA so much that sometimes it kind of just takes over. I guess in a sense that could sound bad, but in other ways, it’s a great feeling.”

As president, Harris balances multiple different responsibilities. Holding the main administrative role, some of his main duties are managing the

“My favorite part [about being a part of SUA] is that I get to challenge myself. We constantly get new people every semester, so whether it’s trying to meet everybody and to get to know their names within

Harris said he hopes to pursue a career in orthopedics, neurosurgery or cardiology. However, he considers these aspirations to be stepping stones to his ultimate goals.

“I know it sounds flowery, but my thing is, even if you fall short of helping a billion people, you’re at least helping maybe ten million people or one hundred million people,” Harris said. “You’re helping as many people as you can.” moberger@syr.edu

‘It’s On Us’ PSA uses humor

By Sara Swann asst. news editor

The It’s On Us campaign recently used a different tactic to bring awareness to the serious issue of sexual assault on college campuses: humor.

One in five women are sexually assaulted during their college careers, according to a Washington Post-Kaiser Family Foundation poll.

Two elementary school students in the Syracuse City School District recite a piece of writing they collaborated on during a class at the 2015 Writing Our Lives conference on Saturday. The annual event took place at Danforth Middle School.

Youth share stories at local writing conference

By Thandar Zone contributing writer

Kelly Richards told a group of six middle and high school students that writing allows people to dump their brains by expressing emotions through words.

Richards, a clinical therapist employed by Syracuse University, acknowledged that this is a challenge for adolescents because adolescence is filled with anxiety and confusion when a person’s body changes and the

world starts to unfold itself, she said.

This is what inspired Richards to host the “therapeutic journaling” workshop at the 2015 Writing Our Lives conference on Saturday at Danforth Middle School in Syracuse. About 30 students and 20 volunteers worked together during the conference to create a community based on writing.

“Writing encourages honesty within ourselves,” Richards said. “A key aspect of living is to be true to yourself and accept who you are.”

The students, who were primarily students of color, were from several districts throughout Syracuse and from a variety of charter schools, magnet schools and public schools.

The facilitators of the workshops were professionals from an array of different studies. The facilitators’ professions range from full-time artist to SU professors who teach poetry to graduate students.

The Writing Our Lives conference takes place in Syracuse every year with a different theme. This year’s theme

focused on the hashtag “#BeFree.”

The conference was founded by Marcelle Haddix, director of the Reading and Language Arts doctoral programs at SU’s School of Education.

Haddix said she founded “Writing for our Lives” because she was concerned about the literacy practices for urban youth, especially children of color.

In addition, she said she wanted to remove the stigma against writing. Haddix said academic writing is often viewed as tedious with ridged

Organization works to bring services to Syracuse

By Michael Burke staff writer

The Syracuse University Student Association and student governments at other colleges in New York state are putting the finishing touches on a joint letter arguing for the legalization of ride-hailing services in the state.

The organizations plan to send

the letter to the New York State Assembly before it convenes in January for its next legislative session. At the session, the assembly will consider bill A.6090, which would change state law to include ride-hailing services such as Uber and Lyft in its insurance regulations. That would allow the services to operate throughout the state.

SA President Aysha Seedat and

Parliamentarian James Franco began drafting the letter in September. They presented it to the SA assembly for the first time at its Oct. 26 meeting, and the assembly voted to take an official stance supporting the legalization of ride-hailing services at its Nov. 2 meeting.

In recent weeks, Seedat has been accepting revisions on the letter from the Student Assembly

of the State University of New York — the student governing body for all State University of New York campuses — and the student governments at several other schools, including Le Moyne College and the University of Rochester.

The letter highlights student safety and job creation as the main benefits of legalizing ride-hailing see sa page 6

Biden’s visit strengthens visibility of sexual assault prevention Bringing Vice President Joe Biden to the Syracuse University campus is an effective way to capture students’ attention when it comes to the prevention of sexual assault and relationship violence on campus.

Biden, an SU alumnus, will speak at Goldstein Auditorium on Thursday to promote the White House’s “It’s On Us” public awareness campaign, which is aimed at combatting sexual assault on college campuses.

It is not new for SU to offer sexual assault prevention initiatives its full support, including New York state Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s “Enough is Enough” legislation. However, featuring a high-profile figure like Biden takes the credibility of the topic a step further and sends

a strong message to the university community that sexual assault is a serious problem, on a local and national basis.

Because anti-sexual assault events on campus usually consist of local speakers and SU administrators, hosting a guest from outside of the university sphere with the name stature of Biden is an engaging opportunity.

Biden’s visit comes during the “It’s On Us” National Week of Action, in which Chancellor Kent Syverud’s Task Force on Sexual and Relationship Violence, student groups and offices on campus will be hosting events related to sexual assault and relationship violence prevention efforts.

While Biden is an alumnus of the College of

Law, the fact that SU is a stop on his four-campus tour is reflective of the fact that the university is a leader in the fight against sexual assault. Although Biden’s visit highlights the topic, it must also be recognized that maintaining campus-wide awareness of sexual assault prevention is a collective effort that can be strengthened by the dedicated efforts of administrators and students alike.

Organizers of the talk should work to make sure that Biden’s talk is streamed so that all students have access to the discussion to viewing the discussion on sexual assault. All student groups, not only Greek organizations, should also become involved in the promotion of events to ensure that more of the student

body is aware of the chance to get involved with the initiative.

Student involvement in the “It’s On Us” National Week of Action will highlight that students have a role to play when it comes to spreading awareness of sexual assault prevention, as proven by the fact that SU junior Samantha Skaller was selected as one of the 17 members of the national “It’s On Us” Student Advisory Committee last month.

While bringing an internationally known figure onto campus to discuss sexual assault and violence prevention is a special way to engage students on the topic, it’s not the only measure that should be taken to spread the message of “It’s On Us.”

Student debt legislation necessary to support economy, graduates

M

eet the average college graduate: they have a degree, but are positioned in a job that doesn’t require one, with seemingly insurmountable debt — more than $35,051 in loans, according to MarketWatch.

Even in a recovering economy, college costs are on a steady incline and wages remain stagnant, according to U.S. News. Student debt hit $1.2 trillion earlier this year, according to USA Today, marking an 84-percent jump since 2008.

Although President Barack Obama’s approval of debt-alleviating measures in late

86

MATTHEW GUTIERREZ

I MEAN BUSINESS October marks progress, there’s more to be done. Student debt is an affordability issue that only wide-scale, comprehensive measures have the power to curb.

For years, the Obama administration has appropriately made student debt reduction a top priority. The latest proposals require colleges to provide students with options for

how excess financial aid will be received, giving students more financial protections in July 2017. They will also allow college graduates who used loans to finance their education the ability to cap their monthly payments at 10 percent of their discretionary earnings.

Despite these steps forward, student debt is decelerating millions of young careers and slowing the economy’s overall growth. For these reasons, comprehensive student debt initiatives need to be at the forefront of the next president’s agenda. “[Student debt] can slow the overall economy because the funds that students are using to pay back their student loan debts are funds that could be used to buy goods and services,” said Don Dutkowsky, a professor of economics in the Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs. “Paying back debt is financially sensible, but it doesn’t add anything in terms of stimulating production, employment and expanding the economy.”

Research from a 2014 Federal Reserve Bank of New York report shows that student debt is indeed stunting economic growth.

In 2008, about 30 percent of those aged 27-30 with student loans had mortgages, but that number plummeted to 22 percent by 2013. That same year just 31.4 percent of 25-year-olds with student loans also had an auto loan, marking a sharp decline from 37.6 percent in 2008.

Clearly, student debt is a pervasive problem that requires large governmental action.

But until more legislation to combat it is made and actually implemented, there are many opportunities for colleges and students to amp up their financial game.

Because most high schools are doing a subpar job at teaching basic finance skills, colleges need more financial literacy offerings.

The problem is that most of them — Syracuse University being a rare exception — are lagging in educating young adults on basic money skills, considering just 39 percent of four-year college students budget in any form, according to MarketWatch.

The SU campaigns include social media contests, peer-to-peer mentoring and regular panels designed to increase financial awareness and engagement. These are free financial offerings that students should not ignore throughout their time as matriculated students.

Susan Call, the associate director of employer relations for SU’s Career Services, said she believes students can build strong financial habits on their own, too. She said it’s proven that using cash whenever possible is an easy way to save money and that platforms like Mint — an easy-to-use budgeting application — and Glassdoor — a jobs marketplace — can be instrumental in helping students save money and position themselves for success.

Put simply, more governmental action is needed to minimize the mounting student debt facing college graduates. But until policy makers in Washington, D.C. do more, universities and students share the responsibility to place financial issues at the forefront.

letter to the editor

‘It’s On Us’ participation encouraged To Our Campus Community Members: this week, a sea of teal will blanket our campus, symbolizing the #ItsOnUsSU campaign, part of the “It’s On Us” National Week of Action. Aimed at ending sexual and relationship violence, the national “It’s On Us” campaign was initiated last year by President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden, who as you know will be on campus later this week to discuss this very important issue.

On behalf of the members of Chancellor Syverud’s Task Force on Sexual and Relationship Violence, we encourage all our campus community members to get involved during “It’s On Us” National Week of Action as we raise awareness about this important issue. From Nov. 9 through Nov. 13, the Task Force, students and offices across Syracuse University will host a number of

events and opportunities for you to show your support for those impacted by sexual and relationship violence, learn more about prevention and education efforts and sign the pledge to help end sexual assault.

In today’s Daily Orange you will find a full-page advertisement detailing all the events scheduled this week.

In particular, we hope you’ll join us tomorrow night (Tuesday, Nov. 10) for the screening of The Hunting Ground, a roughly 90-minute film that follows college sexual assault survivors pursuing both their education and justice, for them and for others. The screening, which will be followed by a panel discussion featuring two of our students, will take place at 7 p.m. in Hendricks Chapel.

Because of the emotional nature of this film, we will have counselors on hand to provide services and support.

The safety and well-being of our

Kim Kardashian not defined by her sex tapes, deserves respect

Y

ou can tell a lot about a person by how they view Kim Kardashian. Some worship the very ground she walks on, while others write her off as just being famous because of a sex tape.

Other celebrities are no different in their feelings toward the reality television star. During a radio interview last week week, Australian comedian and actress, Rebel Wilson, best known for her role in Pitch Perfect, shamed Kardashian for her sex tape and argued that her rise to fame is undeserved.

“Kim got famous from the sex tape and I just went to acting school and worked really hard,” Wilson shared in the interview, stating that the Kardashian family lacks talent.

Wilson’s sentiments toward Kardashian hint at sexist ideas that

she is not only defined by her sexual past, but is unworthy of respect.

This is yet another example of internalized misogyny in which women tear down one another on the basis of their sexual choices — failing to realize that it should not really affect them, or anyone else for that matter.

While Kardashian did become a household name after the sex tape, many people do not know that she bought the rights to it.

This enabled her to maintain the upper hand and have a sense of control in a situation in which she was exploited, considering her ex-boyfriend Ray J released the tape

without her consent, according to People magazine.

The media’s obsession with bringing up the tape continues to associate Kardashian with the stigma of being somehow less deserving of respect.

These sexualized perceptions also come at the expense of her family and are projected onto her 2-year-old daughter, North West.

Billboard tweeted a paparazzi shot on Oct. 29 of North West with her mouth open, licking a lollipop and being held by her mother. The caption for the photo was: “The apple doesn’t fall too far from the tree.”

Whether intentional or not, there are clear sexual innuendos to the juxtaposition of the photo and the quote, which could be interpreted as subtly referencing Kardashian’s sex tape.

Many people responded to Bill-

board with backlash, retweeting it and calling it out on its perceived pedophilic tweet. Billboard immediately apologized, explaining the reasoning behind that caption was in reference to a video of North West mumbling “I said no pictures” to the paparazzi.

But what people must realize is that ideas about North really stem from feelings about Kardashian.

North will grow up being the daughter of a celebrity who is frequently defined by her sexual choices.

Even if the media never portrays this, people can control how they judge one another and learn how to respect women as holistic people and not just bodies.

Kardashian, by definition, is an entrepreneur. She has spearheaded a perfume line, an online shoe store and jointly owns a fashion line with her

sisters. She also runs a mobile game app and manages her brand, from public appearances to her television show, in addition to other ventures. Despite her efforts to use her creativity and eye for fashion, many people still dismiss her achievements due to the sex tape leaked eight years ago.

Kardashian is entitled to have her ambitions realized by the public. A shift to separate women as individuals from their sexuality would be a progressive move in efforts for women to be remembered for their accomplishments and not their sex lives.

med school college of medicine would be self-sustaining and not drown resources from other areas of the university, was generated from committee members’ consultations with faculty in their respective departments and from a survey sent to SU’s 1,649 faculty members.

O’Keefe said some members did presentations on the idea of the medical school in their departments, and that he himself did a brief description of the idea in the Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs. He added that the 12 findings listed in the report were generated from every suggestion and proposed finding made by a committee member and through the survey data.

The findings emerged from collections of views surrounding a specific topic, he added, since there were several observations from faculty on different issues that were very similar. The phrasing of the findings was framed at the committee’s six meetings.

services. It also attempts to dismiss what Seedat called misconceptions regarding how Uber drivers get their jobs.

If bill A.6090 passes, the letter argues it would reduce drunk driving accidents, since students who might otherwise be tempted to drink and drive could instead get rides from an Uber driver. The letter cites a January report conducted by Temple University professors Brad Greenwood and Sunil Wattal

dailyorange.com news@dailyorange.com

The input from faculty is diverse, O’Keefe said, because of the composition of the committee, which is comprised of 21 members that represent nine different colleges and multiple disciplines at SU. There were very few crossover kinds of cases between the members of the committee where people had common experiences or portfolios, he added.

“There was nothing groupthink about us,” O’Keefe said. “… What we got is kind of a micro-reflection of the same diversity of opinion that was expressed in the survey itself.”

At Wednesday’s University Senate meeting, Syverud discussed the next steps for the veteran-focused medical school. Syverud said the next step in the process will be to consult with various SU stakeholders to see how the idea compares to all of SU’s other planned initiatives, something many faculty members expressed concern over in the 107page report.

O’Keefe said the committee achieved its purpose — the compilation of a report that is “a pretty good composite sketch of what

everybody’s out there kind of initially thinking” — but that if the chancellor decides to go with the idea of the medical school, that decision will call for consultation on a wide range of implementation issues.

that found a “significant drop” in the rate of alcohol-related motor vehicle homicides from 2009-14 after Uber was introduced in 14 California counties.

Additionally, the letter argues that Uber drivers are qualified for their jobs, noting that Uber conducts background checks of potential drivers and that drivers in New York state would need to obtain a commercial driver’s license.

“You’re not just getting into a car with a random stranger (who signed up for an app),” Seedat said. “I don’t think people realize that.”

The letter also says that Uber would facil-

itate job creation in the city of Syracuse. Last month, Uber estimated that its ride-hailing service would create 13,000 jobs in upstate New York if it were legalized.

Critics have argued that ride-hailing services can hurt the taxi industry, but Franco said that wouldn’t happen in Syracuse.

“I don’t think the taxi industry here is developed enough to be hurt from it,” he said. “And I feel like that’s true elsewhere in New York. ...

(The taxi industry) is almost nonexistent.”

For the few taxi companies that are in Syracuse, Seedat said she hopes a ride-hailing

What we got is kind of a micro-reflection of the same diversity of opinion that was expressed in the survey itself.

Sean O’Keefe committee chair and university professor

There are some faculty members who are more than willing to participate in dealing with these implementation issues, O’Keefe said, which include the design of the college of medicine’s curriculum, what the college’s research agenda should look like and how that research can become more compatible with research activities already underway at

the university.

In regard to Syverud’s thought process on the committee’s report, O’Keefe said he could not speculate on the chancellor’s personal disposition, but added that he likes to think the report will help inform his ultimate decision on the medical school.

Kevin Quinn, SU’s senior vice president for public affairs, did not return an email requesting comment for this story.

O’Keefe added that Syverud is committed to what he has publicly stated in regard to the business economic model of the medical school, which is to ensure the college is a fully financed approach that will not divert from other activities around the university — a fear expressed by many faculty members in the committee’s report.

“I think, from what he has also said publicly, is that there is a lot more work to be done, a lot more things to examine, and therefore this is the beginning — not the end — of this process,” O’Keefe said. atorrens@syr.edu

service would incentivize them to better themselves. Specifically, she would like to see all taxi companies accept forms of payment other than cash. Uber customers pay through the service’s mobile application.

With the state assembly set to convene in January, Seedat said her deadline for sending the letter is the end of the semester. Before the letter is sent, the SA assembly will need to vote to approve sending it. SA also plans to send an official memorandum pledging support for the bill. mdburk01@syr.edu

points of what to argue, and added that her goal was to bring the humanistic aspect of writing into the spotlight.

“Reading, writing, any discipline is about the human experience — what you can bring to the table and what you can connect with,” Haddix said.

Haddix said she feels school kids and teachers don’t have enough opportunities to experience each other’s lives through writing, and added that in the future, she plans to coordinate with the Syracuse City School District to provide transportation for more students to attend the conference.

“Writing provides an escape and helps me cope through difficult situations,” said Sophia Liew, a freshman at Jamesville-DeWitt High School in DeWitt. “Writing has been the only constant variable in my life and it turns my experiences into art.”

Yakira Crawford, a senior at the Syracuse Academy of Sciences Charter School, was one of about seven or eight students who shared a piece of writing during lunch. Crawford shared a spoken word piece.

Yvesse Adul-Malak, a part-time instructor at SU and a PhD sociology candidate, volunteered her time at the conference because she said she wanted to give back to the community.

She said writing gives young kids an outlet to vent, and helps them take a step back and reflect on who they are.

“They need to communicate with one another to realize they’re not alone in these situations,” she said. tpzone@syr.edu

SUNY-ESF to establish biomimetics center at Newcomb campus in Adirondack Mountains

The State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry plans to establish the Roosevelt Biomimetics Laboratory at its Newcomb, New York, campus, which is located in the Adirondack Mountains High Peaks Region at Marcy Dam.

UNY-ESF is turning to nature for some problem-solving inspiration.

The State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry plans to establish the Roosevelt Biomimetics Laboratory at its Newcomb, New York campus in the Adirondack Mountains. The lab, which is projected to open in late 2017, will provide an opportunity for students to learn how to solve sustainability issues by looking at natural processes.

“It has been a hallmark of the SUNY-ESF community to understand natural systems and emulate them in problems today,” said Brian Houseal, director of the SUNY-ESF Adirondack Ecological Center at the Newcomb Campus.

Biomimicry at its core draws inspiration from natural occurrences to create sustainable solutions to human problems, Houseal said.

While the word biomimicry is unfamiliar to most, it has played a role in several inventions,

it’s on us Friday. Colleges and universities across the country will be hosting events on their respective campuses to help raise awareness about sexual assault prevention.

The campaign, started by President Barack Obama in September 2014, was the subject of a White House conference call to promote the PSA on Thursday. White House Senior Adviser Valerie Jarrett, CollegeHumor Executive Director Spencer Griffin and actor Jake Johnson, who plays Nick Miller on the TV show “New

Houseal said. Velcro was developed after a man had a burdock, which is a prickly herb, stuck to his pants; the first airplane was developed after the Wright Brothers observed birds in flight, and bullet trains were modeled after kingfisher birds, Houseal said.

Houseal emphasized the benefits of the lab’s location, as it will enable students and scientists to walk out the door and be submerged in wilderness.

“We are tapping the wisdom found in nature to enable clever inventors, engineers and entrepreneurs to solve practical problems in more sustainable ways,” said SUNY-ESF President Quentin Wheeler.

The historic Stone Carriage House in the Adirondacks will be home to the lab, which will be stocked with art imaging and video recording equipment along with digital microscopes, Wheeler said. This technology will enable students and scientists to capture evolutionary adaptations that may lead to sustainable solutions, he added.

To coincide with the lab, a Biometics Data

Center is being developed on the SUNY-ESF campus in Syracuse. Houseal said there are no facilities on the Newcomb campus to conduct scientific research of the data, so the idea is to have a set of servers on the main campus, creating a one-on-one relationship.

“While most biomimicry labs across the country pull models from nature, this lab will push nature’s clues into an open database,” Wheeler said.

The lab will be extended as a distance learning opportunity for primary and secondary education students as well, Houseal said.

“We know that local [kindergarten] through 12th grade schools are shrinking in enrollment and don’t have the opportunity to take advanced courses,” Houseal said. “The lab gives us an opportunity to bring up a new generation of students in the science and technology arena.”

Funding for the lab, which is totaled at $3.5 million, comes from the SUNY 2020 Challenge Grant given by New York state Gov. Andrew Cuomo, according to the New York state web-

site. The grant also establishes a SUNY Labs to Jobs Consortium through which five SUNY campuses will share labs throughout the region, according to the website. The consortium will be led by SUNY-ESF, Onondaga Community College, the State University of New York at Oswego, the State University of New York Upstate Medical University and Morrisville State College, according to the website.

Wheeler said each of the collaborating campuses took a different approach when translating knowledge gained in the lab to the creation of jobs.

“We (SUNY-ESF) have played on two of our strengths: exploring natural history and solving practical problems in sustainable ways,” said Wheeler.

Wheeler added that the grant will help to position New York state as a source of ideas for sustainability.

It is projected on Gov. Cuomo’s website that 1.6 million jobs will emerge nationally in the biomimicry industry by 2025.

Girl,” all spoke about their involvement with the campaign and PSA during the about 25-minute conference call.

Griffin said CollegeHumor was glad to work with the White House to help spread awareness about the issue of sexual assault.

“Any time we at CollegeHumor have the opportunity to use humor to engage people in an important topic is a great thing,” Griffin said.

In the beginning, Griffin said he and others at CollegeHumor struggled with how to use comedy to address the issue of sexual assault.

But what stuck out to everyone is how “terrify-

ing” the one in five statistic is.

The workers at CollegeHumor realized, Griffin said, that if the statistic were about a bear eating one in five people instead, then a group of guys would do something about that.

Johnson said as soon as he heard about the It’s On Us campaign’s idea for the PSA, he was on board. He added that he liked the idea of putting the responsibility to end sexual assault on “the group of dudes.”

“If you’re a guy that knows somebody that will do this type of thing, that guy is a punk,” Johnson said. “You gotta do something. If you know something is going on in your frat house

and you don’t do something, you’re just as bad in my opinion.”

At SU, there will be It’s On Us tabling every day during the Week of Action inside the Schine Student Center and on the Quad.

In addition, Vice President Joe Biden, an alumnus of SU’s College of Law, will be speaking at SU in Goldstein Auditorium Thursday as a part of the It’s On Us Week of Action. The exact time of the event will be announced early in the week, according to an SU News release.

Tickets for the event will be available on a firstcome, first-serve basis.

SU Drama performs tragedy ‘Agamemnon’ features beautiful performances, opens to sold-out crowd

By Lizzie Michael staff writer

The lights dimmed on the empty stage as the sound of drumming filled the Arthur Stortch Theater.

Two figures dressed in long flowing robes and swinging flickering lanterns slowly entered from opposite sides of the stage. Stoic faced, the two began to pace in complete rhythm, successfully establishing the ominous mood of the play, “Agamemnon.”

if you go ROHAN THAKORE AND RYN ADKINS first met when they lived on the same floor freshman year. The industrial design majors began their dining company, Roux, when they were in the same group in their entrepreneurship class in fall 2013.

DESIGN

Friends use their dining business to create community around food

THAKORE AND ADKINS served up roasted vegetables along with hopbrined chicken at a beer-themed Halloween party on Euclid Avenue.

n French, roux is a base used in cooking: one part butter, one part flour.

Ryn Adkins and Rohan Thakore named their locally-sourced dining business Roux because they view food as the base for culture and community.

Adkins and Thakore are both fifthyear industrial design students. Roux is “a pop-up dining experience cross-pollinating food and design,” as defined by Adkins and Thakore, who is a former staff writer for The Daily Orange.

The two travel to different cities, hosting dining events with menus and art that are tied together under a central theme, and serving up each location’s local fare — a fresh take on catering.

Nothing’s off the menu for Roux.

In Vermont, they’ve served heritage pig pork buns and smokehouse brisket tacos with rhubarb salsa and blueberry hot sauce. In Utica, they’ve served pear chutney, popcorn and 6-year-old homemade prosciutto. On Euclid Avenue, they’ve served beer-battered fried pickles, hop-brined chicken and stout cake.

While the millennial model of entrepreneurship, heralded by the

likes of Mark Zuckerberg and Wall Street investors, is rampant on college campuses, Adkins and Thakore aren’t confining Roux to this mold, they said.

They aren’t in it for fortune and fame; their business objective is to be authentic, using food as a medium to tell stories about cities and people, especially local farmers.

“We’ve been in Syracuse the past two summers and kind of fell in love with the city,” Thakore said. “We’ve seen what’s here, and it’s kind of a blank canvas for us to express ourselves. A lifestyle business is different than trying to be the next Google — that’s not us.”

This semester, Roux has further increased its presence in Syracuse and at SU. They occupied t he pop-up space in Marshall Square Mall last week and have been collaborating on a couple events with local landlord Ben Tupper.

Tupper held a contest for his tenants: whoever paid all of their rent on time would win a free dinner catered

by Roux. Choosing between several themes, the winning residents selected a beer-themed dinner to accompany their Halloween party.

During the dinner, Thakore and Adkins worked in tandem, making the meal in the tenants’ tiny kitchen, see roux page 10

What: ‘Agamemnon’ When: Nov. 6 - 15 Where: Syracuse Stage/SU Drama complex How much: $17-$19

Produced by Syracuse University’s Department of Drama, “Agamemnon” opened to a full house Nov. 7 at the Arthur Storch Theater in the Syracuse Stage/SU Drama Complex, and will run until Nov. 15.

The story is based on ancient Greek myths of the Trojan War. Agamemnon is finally returning home after fighting in the War 10 years. The prophetess Cassandra is alongside him as his prisoner-of-war and is tortured by her visions. Upon his arrival, he finds his wife Clytemnestra waiting for him in anger, and the play takes a dramatic turn from there.

This classic narrative, which is part of a trilogy of Greek plays written by the tragedian Aeschylus, is one of betrayal, power and a mother’s love for her daughter.

“Agamemnon” was visually stunning. The stage itself was set up to look like the front of an ancient Greek palace, centered around two massive wooden doors. Marble walls, towering torches, elaborate paintings of the gods — every part of the set was designed to be as vivid as possible.

Part of director Rodney Hudson’s vision was to make the show see agamemnon page 10

Quentin Tarantino’s political comments should not affect box office

F

ilm director Quentin Tarantino has made national headlines over the last few weeks with his controversial comments and protests against New York City Police Department. Many stand by Tarantino, citing his freedom of speech, while others feel his comments are unfair and unjustified. Many in Hollywood though, are not thinking about whether Tarantino is justified in his comments. Instead, they’re thinking of how these comments will affect his upcoming film “The Hateful Eight.”

When it comes to Tarantino’s upcoming release, his statements could have a variety of results. Tarantino has a very large national audience, and his statements could be upsetting to the large portion of Americans who think highly of their law enforcement officers, which will lower box office results. On the other hand, there

reading each other without much verbal communication in deciding who did which tasks. Thakore dipped pickles in the beer batter they had prepared ahead of time, while Adkins got the IPA cheese potato gratin ready. In sync and relaxed, the duo joked about their Halloween plans.

Starting in December, Roux is having a coordinated event with Tupper called the “Winter Meltdown.” On the corner of Euclid and Ackerman, they will be serving different types of homemade chili free to students, including a super hot chili made from Tupper’s homegrown ghost peppers.

“What they’re doing, these food events, and

ERIK BENJAMIN

DON’T CALL ME SHIRLEY is the mantra that all publicity is good publicity.

Regardless of what the country’s current feelings of Tarantino are, at the very least there is now a greater awareness of his name.

People are far more likely to look him up, see his prior films and ultimately be more cognizant of “The Hateful Eight.” Additionally, as the film is released, we can expect the major news corporations to focus on Tarantino heavily, which only increases visibility.

Hollywood can speculate all day about whether Tarantino’s recent comments will affect his film’s performance or not, but it

what I’m doing, making fun events for my tenants, could work together,” Tupper said of his relationship with the Roux founders.

While Roux is built on strong relationships with community members, it’s also built on the friendship between Adkins and Thakore.

The two were first brought together by the TV in their freshman dorm lounge playing “Mad Men” on Sunday nights.

Their friendship deepened after connecting through their love of food, and now the two are more than business partners — they’re best friends and roommates.

“We discovered that in our families, food was really kind of the glue to our favorite memories and to what our shared values were with our families,” Adkins said.

brings up the interesting quagmire of if these comments should affect the film’s box office.

Film is often called “a director’s medium,” meaning that the final product on screen is the vision of the director. Thus, the success or failure of a film relies heavily on a director, but they are not alone in the process. Making a film, especially one at the caliber of “The Hateful Eight” truly takes a village, and it would be unfair to punish the hundreds of people who worked on a film because of the director’s comments. Your $8 goes to so many places besides the director’s pocket, so by buying a ticket, one is in no way endorsing Tarantino’s comments, but simply participating in the commerce of art.

Another consideration to ponder is the quality of the film independent of Tarantino’s comments. From all of the promotional mate-

rials, there is no reason to believe that “The Hateful Eight” will make a statement on police brutality, thus one can enjoy the film and not worry about the politics.

At the end of the day, if a movie is good, a movie is good. A piece of art should be able to stand upon itself for its own merits. Film is ultimately about escapism, as we can observe characters and enter their world. As we are watching this other universe, why worry about what’s going on in ours? It is not a matter of right or wrong with Tarantino, it’s simply a matter of will his film be good or bad. I’ll certainly buy a ticket and find out, no matter what Tarantino says.

While neither of them are professional chefs, Adkins and Thakore were both taught at a young age to value food. Adkins grew up with a cross-cultural palate that blended French and Southern-style cooking. Two-hour treks to Whole Foods and feast-like dinners were hallmarks in her large family. Thakore was raised on healthy Indian dishes that his mother, a dietician, made from scratch. He grew up watching cooking shows, dreaming of becoming a chef.

The summer of 2014, Roux had their first major event, called Salt City, which told the story of the salt industry in Syracuse. They served a seven-course tasting menu, and every dish had an element of salt, and many of their ingredients were locally sourced from Syracuse. They served about 25 people, mainly close mentors and professors who supported their idea.

It was through their first event that they immersed themselves in Syracuse’s local food scene, checking out various suppliers — Italian markets, Asian markets, farmers’ markets

— and building relationships with store owners and farmers.

“Through that event, we discovered that we want people to value food and where it comes from just like we do,” Adkins said. “And I think just telling that story of Syracuse and its history was really important for us.”

One of Roux’s goals is to use food to help push forward the revamping process of cities they’ve had events in like Syracuse and Utica, and make people enthusiastic about their hometowns.

In the future, both Thakore and Adkins said they want to continue working with food and design.

Said Adkins: “Everyone touches food, everyone loves food, and if you can kind of bring those two cultures together — the farming industry and the city’s past — you can bridge those two worlds and get people excited about where they come from and what the future of that city can be.”

“She was just so stunning, and then she came out and in every moment she had amazing stage presence. It was just really great to watch,” Patrick said.

The rest of the cast was composed of the chorus and various characters. The prophetess Cassandra and the treacherous Aegisthus, who were played by junior Jerrod Everett and senior Erin Christine Walsh, respectively, were two characters that stood out because of the talented actors and lengthy monologues.

The run-time of “Agamemnon” was roughly an hour-and-a-half, and was filled with memorable scenes and bits of dialogue.

One such moment was when Agamemnon called out to Clytemnestra, “As long as my absence was, so was your speech,” after she finished a particularly lengthy monologue. The joke was completely unexpected in the scene, and the entire audience busted out laughing.

Another notable moment was when Iphigenia, Agamemnon’s daughter, was killed in a ritual to the gods. In an attempt to escape, she climbed nearly 8 feet off the ground up the wooden doors, only to fall back into the arms of the chorus.

At the end of “Agamemnon,” the applause was loud and long.

“I thought it was amazing. It was beautiful,” Patrick said. “Everything from costumes, lighting, the performances; just absolutely gorgeous.”

agamemnon seem less like a play and more like a movie, according to the program. To achieve this, dramatic music was played continuously throughout the performance, similar to how film scores play in the background during movies.

Alen Ghavami, a junior acting major who played Agamemnon, said he thinks that this unorthodox style of performance was brilliant.

“You know it’s such a different style of theater that I think totally shocked the audience; they didn’t know what to expect, and I think they enjoyed it,” Ghavami said.

The cast of “Agamemnon” was led by Ghavami and senior acting major, O Candide-Johnson, who played Agamemnon’s wife Clytemnestra.

Ghavami said he spent a lot of time researching Agamemnon in order to fully understand his character’s thought process.

Candide-Johnson’s portrayal of Clytemnestra was one of a noble, proud queen who, although insane, knew exactly what she was doing. The performance was powerful all around, and many of the audience members said that she was their favorite character.

Bria Patrick, a member of the audience who is considering applying to the drama department at SU, said many of the moments with the Queen were gorgeous.

Syracuse steakhouse resembles upscale New York City eateries

By Callie Weinstein staff writer

I

f you’re looking for a classic steakhouse, Daniella’s Steakhouse is an unexpected treat.

This quaint steak house, located next to a Best Western hotel, really impressed me.

Established in 1960, Daniella’s Steakhouse resembles many of the characteristics of an upscale steakhouse on Madison Avenue.

The name Daniella’s is in dedication to the owner Charlie Roman’s mother. Back in the ‘60s, the restaurant started as a working man’s tavern. She used to cook Polish sandwiches on an electric flat top behind the bar. After this, the current owner, Roman, turned it into a club called Roman’s Tavern and it was the go-to bar in Syracuse for 20 years. Eventually, it evolved into a steakhouse and moved to its current location.

While dining at Daniella’s, I ate a variety of dishes. For my appetizer, I tried the pan-seared scallops, which were topped with lump crab and finished with a citrus hollandaise sauce.

The scallops tasted fresh and tender. They were perfectly cooked but could have used less oil.

For dinner, I tried the 40-ounce, bone-in

Price: 4/5 Total: 4/5

ribeye, which is topped with mushrooms and accompanied with a loaded baked potato.

This entrée also came with sautéed asparagus. The meat was incredibly tender, but the loaded potato was the best part of the dish. I could barely finish a quarter of it, but I enjoyed every single bite. The portion was massive and definitely worth it.

Daniella’s offers steaks as well as fresh seafood shipped in twice a week from Foley Fish in New Bedford, Massachusetts. Every item is made from scratch, including the salad dressings, sauces and desserts. Their extensive wine list is impressive, as well as its wide range of craft beers.

My dessert was composed of Daniella’s famous chocolate cake. The homemade double fudge, dark chocolate cake has two layers of chocolate fudge and is topped with a decadent ganache. The cake was super rich. As a chocolate lover, this was an amazing treat, and I highly recommend it.

All of the recipes for the desserts come straight out of the owner’s late wife Ranee’s cookbook. Additionally, Chef Mike White’s crème brûlée is incredibly popular due to his

secret ingredients. Daniella’s Steakhouse keeps its dessert menu fresh with seasonal desserts to accommodate the fresh produce.

The current seasonal dessert is a homemade apple tart, which is served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

The atmosphere is cozy. With 15 tables and 52 seats in the darkly lit dining room, there is an old, business city feel with dark wood, stained-glass decor and a nice 10-table patio for summertime dinners. Live music during dinnertime on Sundays, Mondays and Tuesdays adds to the atmosphere.

Daniella’s has a variety of resources for planning events. They have full-scale on-site and off-sight catering, serving events like baby showers, birthday parties, weddings and more.

Though it does not have a student discount rate available at this time, it is looking to accommodate SU students. It is a perfect venue for graduation, homecoming, date nights, etc.

Whether you want to plan a graduation dinner or are looking for a new date night spot that feels more like you’re in New York City than Syracuse, Daniella’s is worth a try. cweinst@syr.edu

the 34 games he’s coached. “I feel horrible that he got hit.”

Dungey had already endured the worst game of his Syracuse career. His three turnovers led to two Louisville touchdowns and he completed only 15 of his 30 passing attempts. In turn, Syracuse turned in one of its worst performances of the season, a 41-17 loss to Louisville, at Papa John’s Cardinal Stadium on Saturday.

The freshman is the quarterback of the present, but he’s also the quarterback of the future. He’s already suffered an “upperbody” injury that caused him to miss a game. A week after he returned, he was the victim of a second targeting penalty.

Against Pittsburgh seven days later, a hit to his head forced him to the locker room for concussion testing.

“It’s the way it happened,” offensive coordinator Tim Lester said. “He had 60 other snaps, it could happen on any snap.”

It’s an unfortunate result that can happen on any play, and has happened on several plays this season. He’s a quarterback that,

by Lester’s own estimation, sometimes puts himself in bad situations. His presence in the game wasn’t worth the impossible, senseless comeback attempt. Nor was it worth it for him to get his rhythm back after a lost game.

a strike from 25 yards away that Hilpert got a piece of, but still found the back of the net with 30 minutes left.

“You get worried when we didn’t score that second goal and they came back,” McIntyre said.

Syracuse and the Tar Heels each saw big chances through the rest of regulation, but each time the goalies answered the challenge. UNC’s James Pyle made multiple point-blank stops on Ben Polk and Nanco shots. Hilpert fought off a shot from 25 yards out headed for the top left corner, then got his fingertips on a line drive free kick from about 19 yards out.

Following two overtime periods, the game

Lester said Dungey wouldn’t have been in the game had Louisville not muffed the ensuing punt. It gave Syracuse possession right after the Orange had lost it. And out trotted Dungey.

“If I had 20-20 hindsight, I would have taken him out that play or the play before that,” Shafer said. “But I didn’t. I feel bad about that. Hopefully he’ll be OK.” It’s a decision that doesn’t take hindsight to know that it’s wrong. It takes foresight to know what’s possible. The game’s final result was inevitable.

Syracuse threw two interceptions and fumbled it twice more. It was tackled for a loss eight times, including two sacks. It was as ugly as ugly gets in a game that SU couldn’t afford to lose.

Syracuse could have protected its quarterback, boarded up the plane distraught from a bad loss — licking its collective wounds in the process. Instead, a senseless decision added injury to insult. And now, the season, and possibly the career of a promising, young quarterback could be in jeopardy.

“It’s just understanding when to go down,” Lester said of his quarterback’s run, “when not to do too much.”

Dungey’s decision to run may not have been smart, but being in the game wasn’t a position he put himself in.

Sometimes it’s just understanding when the reward isn’t worth the risk.

went to penalty kicks.

“There was no real pressure on us, I didn’t feel, because we were the underdog and ultimately the seven seed,” McIntyre said. “I just wanted the guys to be loose.”

Oyvind Alseth, Oskar Sewerin and Nanco scored for SU before Callahan’s goal in the sixth round put UNC’s ACC tournament hopes on the foot of Marshall.

When Syracuse lost to the Tar Heels on Oct. 10, the Orange squandered a 1-0 lead that it held for more than 52 minutes of the game. SU watched UNC tie its 1-0 lead again on Sunday, but lasted through penalty kicks to get the win.

“To come out on the other side is a testament to how this group is evolving and moving forward,” McIntyre said. jrmettus@syr.edu

Nicolette Serratore records 1,000th career kill in SU win

By Chris Lucey staff writer

Sunday’s game against North Carolina State started in the same, albeit unconventional, manner it always does for Syracuse outside hitter Nicolette Serratore.

The senior waits for her name to be called in the starting lineup and runs past her teammates without giving them so much as a glance, only to turn back towards them and hit a dance move known as “the yeet” to a never failing chorus of laughter and smiles.

“At the beginning of the season, we decided that the seniors should do something a little bit special when we’re coming onto the court,” said Serratore while her teammate, outside hitter Santita Ebangwese, sat alongside her trying to conceal a wide grin.

The popular dance move was far from the

only special thing that Serratore was able to do during the four-set Syracuse (18-7, 9-5 ACC) win over N.C. State (14-12, 3-11 ACC). Serratore tallied the 1,000th kill of her career, a searing cross-court spike that brought the Orange to match point in the decisive fourth game.

Every time we come into the third game we talk about being as strong as before but it doesn’t work.

Leonid Yelin su head coach

Syracuse rolled through the first two games, winning both, 25-17, but hit the wall during a

Wolfpack run in the third. N.C. State picked up momentum after a 5-1 run staked them to a 19-14 lead. With every point, N.C. State grew more and more confident, letting out triumphant screams that rang throughout the court after every winner.

Yelin, usually a reserved presence during and after points, began to gesture and yell instructions towards his players on the court.

Yelin’s additional game management helped the Orange close the gap in the third, but the Orange ultimately dropped the set.

“It (was) too late,” said Yelin about his additional effort in the third. “Every time we come into the third game we talk about being as strong as before but it doesn’t work … I’m still trying to figure out what to say.”

However, the Orange was able to take control of the fourth set early, thanks to outside hitter Silvi Uattara bookending two consec-

utive service aces from middle blocker Leah Levert with kills. The Wolfpack was unable to recover from the initial 4-1 deficit, and eventually lost the set, 25-16, and the match, 3-1.

Coach Yelin was appreciative of his team for “taking care of business” against what he considered to be a lesser opponent, but took a moment to appreciate Serratore’s efforts as well.

The outside hitter contributed 11 kills against N.C. State on Sunday and was, Yelin said, of immeasurable value to the team over the four years prior.

“The record speaks for itself; (without her) we wouldn’t be here.”

Serratore personally had little to say about her 1,000th kill. Looking back on the road to that accomplishment, Serratore was more proud of her contribution to Syracuse volleyball than anything else. cplucey@syr.edu

UofL backup quarterback Kyle Bolin lights up SU defense

By Paul Schwedelson asst. copy editor

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Scott Shafer had “no idea” Kyle Bolin would start at quarterback for Louisville on Saturday.

The sophomore quarterback played only three games this year, but saw significant time against Clemson on Sept. 17. After Reggie Bonnafon was listed as out on Louisville’s (5-4, 4-2 Atlantic Coast) injury report on Thursday, Syracuse began honing in its preparation on Bolin and freshman Lamar Jackson.

Eventually it was Bolin who got his third

from page 16

richardson In the second half of Sunday’s win, Richardson corralled a ball over two defenders that careened high off the rim, deftly leaping his way over both right in front of the baseline before falling to a near-split.

“I think at the end of the day it goes back to, you’ve got to be good enough to rebound back there,” assistant coach Mike Hopkins said. “And if you’re not, you’ve got to use your quickness.”

Richardson arrived at Syracuse weighing around 215 pounds. Coaches thought that was too heavy so he slimmed down to 205, according to cuse.com.

Most players start college having to gain weight, McNamara said, but Richardson’s toned physique, even though slight adjustments had to be made, lends itself to banging on the low block or maneuvering around the perimeter.

“That’s probably the weight he’ll be most productive at because you’re going for a long stretch of season,” McNamara said.

With a split-second release on his shot, Richardson draws defenders that are often left with only an outstretched hand hitting thin air. He camped in the corner several times on Sunday, spreading the floor for Gbinije and shooting guard Trevor Cooney and alleviating a backcourt scoring load that fell

career start in a 41-17 win over Syracuse (3-6, 1-4) on Saturday at Papa John’s Cardinal Stadium. He went 24-of-35 for three touchdowns and 362 yards, the third most passing yards SU has allowed this season.

“We weren’t sure, but we were thinking it could happen,” Shafer said of Jackson missing the game after suffering an ankle injury last week. “So, got to try and prepare for both of them but we didn’t do a good enough job of defending Louisville, period.”

Bolin is more of a traditional pocket passer while Jackson is also a threat with his legs.

Jackson is Louisville’s leadin g passer and

primarily on the two seniors last year.

He’s tallied a combined 31 points in SU’s two exhibitions, second behind only Gbinije.

And while Richardson has scored in a variety of ways — via 3-pointers, pull-up jumpers, drives and alley-oops — 21 of his points have come from behind the arc.

“You think Klay Thompson is a pure shooter?”

Hines said, referring to the Golden State Warriors sharpshooter. “(Malachi) is a pure shooter.

Those are big words, but I believe in him.”

With a Syracuse offense that intends to launch 20-30 3-pointers per game, Richardson features fittingly as one of three 3-pointcapabale shooters in the first five.Some years, Richardson’s role has been filled by more of a true forward, the head coach said.

Others, he’s been a closer resemblance of a shooting guard. Boeheim doesn’t think of Richardson as either, using the term “wing” to classify the freshman.

It’s where Richardson has found a niche, even if the games don’t count yet. Swishing a corner 3.

rusher. Last week, when the Orange played Florida State, the Seminoles went to backup Sean Maguire while starter Everett Golson battled lingering concussion symptoms. Shafer said SU didn’t prepare for Maguire.

This week, though, Syracuse prepared two different game plans for the two different styles it might face not knowing whether it would be Jackson or Bolin.

“We just went to our base rules to handle him,” linebacker Zaire Franklin said, “but it’s tough when a team just keeps switching quarterbacks and we came in preparing to play (Jackson). I don’t even think (Jackson) touched the field at all.”

from page 16

acc championship “We played a very passive first half,” Bradley said. “An outstanding second half, but the breaks didn’t go our way today.”

Syracuse’s run at perfection ended Sunday when the Orange (17-1, 6- Atlantic Coast) fell, 2-1, to North Carolina (18-2, 4-2) in the 2015 ACC Championship. Despite holding the lead in shots, 22-14, and penalty corners, 7-3, SU lost its second consecutive ACC title. The team lost in 2014 to Wake Forest after beating UNC in the semifinals.

But in the sequel, Syracuse never led.

The day of firsts was also a day of missed opportunity for Syracuse.

With regulation time expired, Syracuse played out its final penalty corner. A shot by Lies Lagerweij bounced off the diving Johnson and rolled out to the right side, where Hurff was waiting. Her shot hit the post. It deflected, hitting a North Carolina defender. Originally, officials called a penalty stroke, but video review showed the defender didn’t initially prevent the ball from going in the goal.

“It doesn’t come down to one moment of a corner or anything,” Bradley said. “It’s little details in a moment. It’s people diving to score, stepping up to pressure; (that didn’t happen) in the first half. Those things didn’t happen until the second half. It wasn’t enough.”

Bolin had success against a secondary that has struggled all season and was especially limited since starting cornerback Corey Winfield was out with a lower-body injury.

For the second straight week, the Orange allowed more than 340 passing yards to a backup quarterback. Whether it was finding soft spots in SU’s zone or lobbing perfect touch passes into the end zone, Bolin took advantage of his opportunity.

“I would anticipate Kyle being the starter next week,” Louisville head coach Bobby Petrino said. “He earned that with his performance today.” pmschwed@syr.edu | @pschweds

In the game’s opening 35 minutes, the Orange couldn’t score on any of the four penalty corners it drew within four minutes. Three shots were straight on, one was a slide pass to Weers at the top left point in the circle, but all were stopped by ranging dives and leg saves by Johnson. In addition, Emma Russell’s back-chop at the top of the circle with plenty of space flew high over the goal, a shot

by Alyssa Manley was turned aside and a baseline drive by Liz Sack ended with a Johnson dive and Sack reverse-somersaulting out of bounds.

“We’ve got to be more aggressive,” Bradley said in a halftime television interview. “Nothing great is accomplished without risk.”

UNC’s Casey Di Nardo showed aggressiveness when she snaked through the defense and slid a shot underneath Syracuse goalkeeper Jess Jecko’s feet for the 1-0 lead 18:27 into the contest. Jecko covered her mask with her hands for the first time that day.

Weers, before missing her second penalty stroke, converted her first attempt at 43:45 and tied the game, 1-1.

But the tie was as close as Syracuse would get.

“The bottom line is: In the first half we weren’t aggressive and we were apprehensive,” Bradley said. “We waited for things to happen instead of stepping up to making things happen.

“That’s the first team we did that all year.

And it’ll be the last.” sjfortie@syr.edu

Roberson showcases improved abilities in win

By Matt Schneidman asst. sports editor

Thirteen seconds into the second half, Tyler Roberson pressured Florida Southern’s Dylan Travis into a turnover on the right sideline.

The ball trickled out of bounds and Trevor Cooney turned the other way, clenching his fists and clapping his hands.

He always had a motor to go for rebounds. Now, he’s got his mid-range jump shot going and he’s running better in transition.

Michael Gbinije su point guard on tyler roberson

The Mocs 17th turnover of the afternoon was the fourth one Roberson caused, topping his single-game high from last season.

“I want to try and do that consistently throughout the year,” he said.

While Syracuse’s fate didn’t hinge on Roberson disrupting a frantic Florida Southern offense, the junior forward displayed another improving branch of his game during Syracuse’s 96-54 win on Sunday in the Carrier Dome.

The four steals complemented five defensive rebounds, while 10 points and four assists rounded out a performance for a player becoming more complete just in time for when his expanded role counts for something on Friday.

“He’s definitely getting in the grove of things,” senior guard Michael Gbinije said. “He always had a motor to go for rebounds. Now, he’s got his mid-range jump shot going and he’s

running better in transition.”

Almost two hours before tip-off, Roberson circled around the perimeter, firing jump shots from just inside the arc as he received passes from assistant coach Adrian Autry — an extension of a habitual offseason routine.

Roberson showed flashes of a perimeter game that Jim Boeheim has said needs work.

After Sunday’s game, the head coach said to “let the numbers speak for themselves” when asked if Roberson’s outside game is improving.

Against the Mocs, those numbers included a 5-of-9 mark from the field, sprinkled with two foul-line jumpers that struck nothing but net.

“I feel like it’s been paying off a ton,” Roberson said of his offseason work. “I want to consistently be able to do that all year.”

Gbinije has noticed improvements in Roberson’s jump shot from staying after practice with him and Autry. Boeheim noted his activity on defense. Now, Roberson wants to put it all together.

Against a smaller Florida Southern team, he would’ve liked to pull down more rebounds.

He admitted to missing out on a couple and his five defensive boards were well short of the double-digit total he posted in nine games last year.

The strongest part of his game last year was the weakest on Sunday, by his standards. But with the other branches of his game being finetuned, the consistency Roberson harped on is beginning to materialize.

Said Gbinije: “I think he’s getting there.” mcschnei@syr.edu | @matt_schneidman

Cordell Hudson records interception in SU loss

By Sam Blum sports editor

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Cordell Hudson said all he needed to do was read the quarterback, and it led him right to the ball. With Syracuse trailing Louisville by seven early in the first quarter, Hudson came across the middle of the field to make an interception look easy.

It was the first quarter in his first career start, playing a pivotal role on a cornerback unit that has turned to youth in the face of prolonged inefficiencies from its everyday players.

“These past couple of weeks, I’ve been playing a little bit more,” Hudson said. “I don’t feel any pressure. I just need to go out and play my game.”

The redshirt freshman had an interception, the first for an SU cornerback since Sept.

12. He finished tied for a team-high with nine tackles, and was one of the bright spots in what was largely a nightmare 41-17 loss for the Orange (3-6, 1-4 Atlantic Coast) against the Cardinals (5-4, 4-2).

he’s working at it,” SU head coach Scott Shafer said. “He’s gotten bigger and stronger … He’s got a great future in front of him.”

Shafer said he usually likes to wait until he watches the tape of the game until he can really assess how his defensive backs played. But with Hudson, he was impressed just with what he saw from the naked eye.

There were a couple plays that Hudson was frustrated with, Shafer said. But he also acknowledged that he wasn’t sure what plays they were, only that Hudson was angry with himself walking off the field.

Hudson was thrown into the fire on Saturday. He had to start in place of the injured Corey Winfield. He had to contribute more because senior Julian Whgham fell down the depth chart. He started opposite Juwan Dowels, a fellow redshirt freshman, and he played well enough to make a statement in an otherwise ugly game.

Syracuse beats UNC in PKs

MALACHI RICHARDSON has already cracked the Syracuse starting lineup as a freshman. He’s scored 31 points combined in the Orange’s pair of exhibition games and emerged as a threat shooting the ball, passing it and rebounding down low.

he facial expression didn’t change. One hundred twenty-five makes each from five different spots. Sometimes it would take an hour and a half, sometimes an hour more. With his friend, Rob Hines, rebounding and his mother feeding him pass after pass, Malachi Richardson honed a craft that now defines him.

“Malachi has been known as a shooter since eighth grade,” Syracuse head coach Jim Boeheim said.

“That’s what he does.”

Richardson, though just a freshman, has already stated his case for being a mainstay on the wing for Syracuse this season. He hit a trio of 3-pointers in a one-minute, 16-second span last Monday against Le Moyne and his four 3s accounted for 12 of a team-high 18 points against Florida Southern on Sunday.

He stands 6 feet, 6 inches and 205 pounds, a stature lending itself

to the agility of a 2-guard and the bulk of a small forward. He’s shed 10 pounds since arriving on campus to achieve a body assistant coach Gerry McNamara says will help the freshman endure his first college season at both positions. And as Syracuse’s starting small forward in its two exhibition games, Richardson has already proven he can fit seamlessly in the Orange’s new up-tempo, 3-point-heavy offense.

“Malachi’s a little more of a guard, but he’s 6-6 and he’s physical, so he can play (the three),” Boeheim said. “He

gives you another shooter, another ball-handler, another passer.”

To Richardson, the two and the three are the same on offense. Both set up on the wing and have the freedom to create on the perimeter. On defense, though, is where he could assume different roles. Interchangeable with 6-foot-7 Michael Gbinije at either the top of the zone or a back corner, the freshman has often played alongside centers Dajuan Coleman or Chinonso Obokoh in the Orange’s exhibitions. see richardson page 14

SU loses to UNC in ACC Championship, 2-1, in overtime

By Sam Fortier asst. web editor

In overtime, Syracuse had its chances.

A shot from Alma Fenne shot trickled by wide right, Laura Hurff fell on a breakaway with a defender on her back and the North Carolina goalkeeper, Shannon Johnson, rushed up high out of the net. Roos Weers clanked a penalty stroke off the right post.

It was the first time all season, in seven tries, Syracuse had missed a penalty stroke.

It was also the first time all season, in 18 games, Syracuse lost.

Minutes later, 8:17 into overtime, North Carolina’s Gab Major collected a rebound off the pads of Syracuse goalkeeper Jess Jecko. She sent the ball home and a sea of blue jerseys onto the field. The officials reviewed

championship page 14

Hendrik Hilpert walked out to the net as his teammates stood arm-in-arm watching from midfield. Hilpert spit in his gloves and jumped up and down in a jumping jack-like motion as North Carolina’s Warren Marshall lined up for the penalty kick.

Orange midfielder Liam Callahan had just curved a shot into the top left corner of the net to give Syracuse a one-goal lead in the game-deciding penalty kicks.

Marshall took his shot and Hilpert dove to the right. The ball skied over the crossbar and the SU goalie raised one fist in the air from his spot on the ground as his teammates converged.

“When you get to a penalty shootout it’s a bit of a lottery. It could go either way,” head coach Ian McIntyre said.

After 110 minutes of regulation and overtime ended gridlocked at 1-1, Syracuse (12-5-2, 3-4-1 Atlantic Coast) beat North Carolina (14-2-2, 6-1-1) in penalty kicks, 4-3, on Sunday to advance to the semifinals of the ACC tournament.

SU will head to Clemson on Wednesday for a matchup at 7 p.m. in the ACC semifinals.

“I’m very pleased for the guys,” McIntyre said. “I think they deserve this. It’s always nice to stay alive in tournament play and move on.”

The Orange took a 1-0 lead 27 minutes into the game. Tar Heels defender Jonathan Campbell stuck his foot out to stop a cross by Callahan and deflected the ball into the net as SU forward Chris Nanco crashed into the goalie.

It took a few seconds for any call to be made or players to react, but the own goal put SU ahead.

A one-goal, zero-save affair in the first half turned into a 14-shot, seven-save second half that saw UNC score its only goal to tie the game.
