SU dedicates site of future Dineen Hall
SU donates primarily to Maffei
By Colleen Bidwill ASST. COPY EDITOR
The future site of the new College of Law building was dedicated Friday in a ceremony held to celebrate one of the largest donations in Syracuse University history given this summer. The new building, to be named Dineen Hall, will be built where the Raynor parking lot is located, on the west side of campus by the Carrier Dome. Speakers at the dedication called the donation and building an exciting step to enhance the education the law school provides and to honor the memory of Robert and Carolyn Dineen, for whom the building will be named. In June, siblings Kathryn Dineen Wriston, Robert Dineen Jr. and Carolyn Dineen King pledged $15 million for the construction of a new $85 million to $90 million building in honor of their parents Robert and Carolyn, alumni of the College of Law.

where the current law buildings, E.I. White Hall and Winifred MacNaughton Hall, stand. Chancellor Nancy Cantor began the event by noting the change of weather. “I knew the sun would come out,” she said with a smile. “Not to sound cliché, but this is such a sunny project.”
Parents Robert and Carolyn were remarkable individuals who had a great passion for law, Cantor said. Both faced difficult times, including discrimination against Carolyn as a woman in a field dominated by men. She was one of two women in the College of Law during her time there.

small ceremony with the Board of Trustees on Saturday morning. The Quad will be renamed “The Kenneth A. Shaw Quadrangle,” and a marker will be placed near Hendricks Chapel. Banners have been erected around the Quad announcing the dedication. Shaw acted as the 10th chancellor from 1991 to 2004. During his tenure, he restructured the university’s
finances to eliminate a $38 million deficit, focused SU to be a studentcentered research university and oversaw the construction of five new buildings, among many other accomplishments. All former chancellors, excluding John Corbally, have had buildings dedicated to them. Kevin Quinn, senior vice president for public affairs, said he does not know why Corbally, who was the chancellor from 1969 to 1971, has not had anything dedicated to him. Chancellor Nancy Cantor and the Board of Trustees chose to dedicate the Quad to Shaw because they felt it represents the focuses of his achievements well, Quinn said. “His achievements fall in a wide range, from academics to athletics to
student life,” Quinn said. “Chancellor Cantor thought that the Quad represents the intersection of those three main areas.” Shaw said he is delighted with the choice of the Quad to be dedicated to him. During his time as chancellor, he said he would often leave his office to go to the Quad and be alone to think. He said he enjoyed watching people walk by or talking with those who stopped to chat with him. “It’s a great place to clear your head,” he said. Shaw began teaching at the Martin J. Whitman School of Management after he completed his tenure as chancellor. This semester, he moved to Illinois to be closer to his three children and seven grandchildren, but SEE SHAW PAGE 4
Syracuse University employees helped U.S. Rep. Dan Maffei (D-DeWitt) outpace Republican challenger Ann Marie Buerkle’s campaign contributions, though the fundraising discrepancy has not yet led to a clear victor. “It shows you can’t buy an election,” said Jeffrey Stonecash, a professor of political science at Syracuse University. “Money is necessary but is not sufficient.” SU faculty and staff contributed anywhere from $25 to $4,800 each to Maffei’s campaign. Almost all SU employees who contributed gave to

US could take Sudan off terrorist list
President Barack Obama has told Sudan if it allows a political referendum to pass, the United States will take the country off the State Department’s terrorist list, according to The New York Times. The government in Khartoum agreed to a referendum in which the people of southern Sudan will vote to secede from the north on Jan. 9. The Obama administration presented Sudan with incentives, including the delivery of agricultural equipment, debt relief, normalized diplomatic relations and taking the country off the State Department’s terrorist list. The country has been on the list since 1993. Officials did not expect to take the country off the list until 2011 or 2012 due to violence in the Darfur region, according to The New York Times. Sudan was originally placed on the list by the Clinton administration on grounds that it harbored Osama Bin Laden and other terrorists. Whether Sudan is taken off the list depends on if the referendum passes and is followed. There are fears that there will be a new outbreak of violence if the north does not honor the results, according to The New York Times.
Former ally urges Italian leader to resign
A former political ally of Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi of Italy called for the Italian leader to resign and make way for a new government, according to The New York Times. The former ally, Gianfranco Fini, speaker of the lower house Parliament, warned the prime minister that if his demands were ignored, he would prompt a political crisis. He would do this by withdrawing ministers and undersecretaries who are loyal to him, according to The New York Times. Fini called on the government to adopt a new political agenda to revive the economy and for a new electoral law, according to The New York Times.

SU’s green plans draw Olympic speed skater Ohno attracts 600 to book signing low interest
ashli truchon | staff photographer apolo ohno, eight-time Olympic medalist for short track speed skating, signs copies of his recently published book “Zero Regrets: Be Better than Yesterday” on Saturday afternoon in the Syracuse University Bookstore, which saw 300 more attendees than staff expected.

Syracuse University is looking to improve student participation in sustainability efforts after receiving a C for student involvement in the 2011 College Sustainability Report Card for the third year in a row. The Report Card, released Oct. 27, is an evaluation of more than 300 universities from all 50 states and eight Canadian provinces. The report is in its fifth year and evaluates schools in areas such as administration, climate change and energy, food and recycling, green building, student involvement, transportation and financial categories. SU scored an overall grade of a B, the same as last year, and only eight of the schools graded in New York scored higher. Rick Martin, principal sustainability analyst at SU, said SU did improve from last year, but still received the same grade because every year standards become more difficult. “I would have preferred to see our grade go up overall, but some of the individual components went up, and that’s all we have control over,” Martin said.

Colin Lerner was the first person in line at 9:30 a.m. Saturday in the Syracuse University Bookstore for the Apolo Ohno book signing that would begin at 3 p.m. Lerner, a sophomore education major, was saving the spot for his 80-year-old grandmother. “She just loves him so much and is his biggest fan,” Lerner said. “When I found out that they were having this book signing, I called my parents and arranged a surprise trip for my grandmother so she could be here and meet Apolo in person.” Olympic gold medalist Ohno appeared at SU to discuss his new book “Zero Regrets: Be Greater Than Yesterday” and sign copies. More than 600 students, staff and Syracuse community members attended the event in the Schine Student Center. Ohno talked about his childhood, his father’s influence and his philosophy toward success. “I wanted to share with everyone that it is not how you start, but it’s about where you finish,” Ohno said. “Anyone looking for inspiration or to better themselves, you can find motivation in the book, and I really do share every emotional journey.” Schine anticipated a turnout of
around 300 and ended up selling more than 500 books, using all of the books from its displays and taking books from Ohno’s tour bus to meet the crowd’s demands. More than 35 Schine staff members were directing the crowd and specifying which page of the book to have opened before reaching Ohno so that he was able to sign all the books in an hour.

But she had no idea where they were going. “I can’t believe my grandson did this for me,” Borges said. At the signing, Ohno shared advice he learned from his father:

support coordinator for the bookstore’s general book department, said because the event was well organized, no one was turned away from the book signing. Deyneka said she hopes the Ohno event would be the start of holding more high-profile guests at Schine. When it was time for Olga Borges, Lerner’s grandmother, to meet Ohno, she said she thought they connected. “It might be a bit presumptuous to say, but when I told Apolo that I love him, I think we really connected,” Borges said. “I have been a fan of
Everyone should find something they love and give it 100 percent. “The main inspirational thing to take from this book is to enjoy all aspects of your journey,” he said. “The wins, but also when you get knocked down because it’s a wonderful opportunity to learn from those mistakes and to come back stronger.” Ohno was raised by his father after his parents divorced. At his father’s encouragement, Ohno realized he should live a meaningful life and said he now chooses to live every day like it is his last and not
let success change him. Ohno began his short track speed skating career as a teenager in 1995 and has since gone on to win eight Olympic medals. He also came in first place on “Dancing With the Stars” in 2007. Ohno has taken his own advice and said he is continually working to better himself. Before the 2010 Winter Olympics, he lost 20 pounds and doubled his strength, enabling him to break the record for the most medals won by a U.S. Winter Olympian. “When I look back at my career, it wasn’t me standing on top of the podium or crossing the finish line that I remember most,” Ohno said. “It was those times that I had to battle my own insecurities and selfdoubts and those four years of training behind the curtain when there was no media that resonate the most with me.” Katherine Hart, an undecided freshman in the College of Arts and Sciences, arrived to the signing 30 minutes early. She said she looked up to Ohno for working hard and being dedicated to his sport. “You can learn from the book how to always better yourself,” Hart said, “which is a great motto to have and really applies to developing college students.” lalevy@syr.edu

Democratic campaigns. But contributors said donations to Maffei are because of his support for university initiatives and the lack of marketing done by Buerkle to get campaign funds from individuals at SU. Maffei raised more than $2.7 million in his campaign for re-election, while Buerkle raised almost five times less with $551,807, according to the Federal Election Commission’s website. Yet Buerkle is leading Maffei by 659 votes in the 25th Congressional District race after Wayne County reported its results Wednesday. Of Maffei’s total campaign contributions, more than $1.4 million is from private individuals, including 47 total contributions from 24 SU employees adding up to $21,275, according to the FEC’s website. But Republican Buerkle received just one contribution from an SU employee. William Walsh, an assistant professor of accounting practice in the Martin J. Whitman School of Management, contributed $50 to Buerkle’s campaign. SU’s lack of financial support for Buerkle is unsurprising to some. “Most university faculty members are liberals,” Stonecash said. Although SU employees are more likely to be Democrats, Maffei’s support for the university also helps explain the difference in contributions, said Kristi Andersen, a professor of
political science. “Maffei has been here for awhile, people know him. He’s been supportive of higher education. He’s been able to get some money for Syracuse University and for other universities,” she said. In comparison, Buerkle is relatively unknown to people on campus, Andersen said. Andersen also said as the incumbent, Maffei was expected to outraise Buerkle. Buerkle, a former assistant state attorney general and former Syracuse Common Councilor, has run for public office unsuccessfully four times. She was regarded as out of the mainstream, so raising more than $500,000 is “pretty good,” Stonecash said. “I’m sure the party didn’t do much to promote her and didn’t take her very seriously for quite a while,” he said. “And if it hadn’t been for the tidal wave or the sweep against Democrats, she probably wouldn’t have had much of a chance.” Thomas Fondy, a professor of biology who gave five separate contributions to Maffei totaling $2,250, said he was surprised only one university employee gave money to Buerkle. He contributed to Maffei’s campaign because he strongly agrees with the Democratic Party and what it is trying to do with the country in comparison to the Tea Party supporters who “haven’t figured it out,” he said. But other contributors said they supported Maffei because of the way he performed in office during his first term. Marilyn Higgins, a Republican, is the vice president of community engagement and economic development at SU. Even though she is a
Republican, she contributed $950 to Maffei. “I have been very impressed with Dan’s grasp of the issues facing Central New York; the high-level cabinet officials he has brought to Syracuse; and his interest in the Near Westside,” said Higgins, in an e-mail. She was never asked to contribute to Buerkle’s campaign and is unsurprised about the university’s lack of support for the Republican challenger, she said. Vice Chancellor and Provost Eric Spina said in an e-mail interview that “Congressman Maffei has been a good representative for our area and has been a good advocate for the university and programs that support our core mission and vision.” Spina gave a total of $950 to Maffei’s campaign and was not the only member of Chancellor Nancy Cantor’s cabinet to contribute. Of the 18 members of the cabinet Cantor chairs, five contributed to Maffei, totaling $3,550 or 17 percent of university employees’ total donations. The contributing members were: Spina; Thomas Walsh, executive vice president for advancement and external affairs; Kevin Quinn, senior vice president for public affairs; Douglas Biklen, dean of the School of Education; and Gina Lee-Glauser, vice president for research. Cantor gave Maffei a total of $1,000 over two separate contributions. Quinn, who gave $500 to Maffei, said he is a registered Republican but does not recall ever getting anything from Buerkle’s campaign asking for contributions. The cabinet traditionally supports elected officials who are supportive of

SU’s missions and goals, he said. The College of Law cumulatively gave the most to Maffei’s campaign. Aviva Abramovsky, associate dean for special projects and associate professor of law, gave two contributions of $2,400 to Maffei’s campaign, and Lydia Turnipseed, an adjunct professor at the law school, gave contributions of $2,400 and $1,000. The two law professors contributed a total of $8,200 or nearly 39 percent of university employees’ total donations to Maffei. With Maffei currently trailing Buerkle, several SU employees said they will not regret their contributions if Buerkle wins the election. In fact, Fondy, the biology professor, said he wants to contribute to Maffei’s efforts for a recount, for which the incumbent is currently trying to raise $25,000. Andersen, the political science professor, is also helping Maffei’s effort as she said she contributed $25 to him after receiving an e-mail Thursday night asking for money to fund lawyers supervising a recount. Harold Mattson, a professor emeritus in the L.C. Smith School of Engineering and Computer Science, gave a total of $750 to Maffei. He said there was not one particular issue that made him support Maffei, but he does not agree with Buerkle’s views on global warming. “Buerkle has a weak grip on reality, and she says global warming is a myth,” Mattson said. Buerkle leads Maffei by 659 votes, and the election will now come down to absentee and military ballots. A winner may not emerge until Nov. 24, as that is the final day in which military ballots can be counted. Both Stonecash and Andersen, the political science professors, said they did not expect Buerkle to be leading Maffei at this point in the election. “Of the three Central New York congressmen, I thought Maffei was the one most likely to win,” Andersen said. “And I was completely wrong because I thought Bill Owens would be the one to lose, and he won.” But the current results of the election cannot be blamed completely on what Maffei has done in his first term in office, as an anti-Democrat sentiment is present throughout the country, Stonecash said. “Dan Maffei knew he was in a district that could go either way,” he said. “A lot of people were worried about the economy and how much of a negative impact it would have on the majority party.” Yet Stonecash said he had thought Maffei would survive because of his work ethic and the amount of money he raised during his campaign. Said Maffei during an Oct. 29 interview: “I’m very hopeful that we will be re-elected.” jdharr04@syr.edu
“It was hard leaving Syracuse, but it was time,” he said. The university felt now was an appropriate time to dedicate the Quad to Shaw because he is retiring, Quinn said. Shaw said just because he is officially retiring does not mean he will not come back to teach courses at Whitman in the future. “I really wanted a semester off,” he said. “But I really enjoy teaching.” A permanent marker near Hendricks to show the Quad’s dedication is in the planning stages, Quinn said. He said it is too early to know the design. The university hopes to install the marker as soon as possible, but weather may play a factor into when it can be installed, Quinn said. Quinn said he anticipates more ceremonies in honor of the dedication when the marker is ready to be installed. rhkheel@syr.edu

Hillel administration frustrated by SA Finance Board decisions After learning the fate of my organization’s budget request, I feel compelled to respond. This year marks a very significant one in the history of Hillel at Syracuse University. Beginning in January, Hillel will be celebrating its 60th year serving both the Jewish and non-Jewish community of SU, a feat unmatched by other organizations on this campus. Hillel, in collaboration with the university’s administration, designated this academic year to be a celebration of this extraordinary milestone. This past Homecoming, Hillel received the Orange Circle Award for its efforts with the Gift of Life Bone Marrow registration drive, and in honor of the 60th anniversary, SU brought in a Jewish celebrity to entertain both current students and alumni. The university’s administration understands and appreciates the important role that Hillel plays to both its stakeholders and the undergraduate population at SU. The Hillel Student Board decided during the spring 2010 semester that the best way to celebrate this milestone was to throw a concert that would engage a large number of students, not just the Hillel regulars. A budget was submitted and rejected last spring; the Student Association Finance Board failed to evaluate the merit of the event and subsequently rejected our organization’s proposal because of the price tag attached. We received resounding support from the Office of Student Life, as well as from members of the SA General Assembly following the rejection of the first budget proposal. We were forced to push the event back an entire semester and asked to resubmit in the fall for the next budget cycle, which we did. After meeting with SA President Jon Barnhart and Comptroller Jeff Rickert back in September to discuss the resubmission of our proposal, I was told that SA would be willing to help guide us through the budget process for the second time so we would see a positive result. Due to the relatively large request of funds with the previous submission, we were advised to scale back on the amount requested and submit a smaller request in Octo-

ber, which we did. We submitted our lesser request (with recommendations from Rickert) and were denied yet again by the Finance Board. Hillel at SU is extremely disappointed and dissatisfied with the Finance Board’s denial of funding for the 60th anniversary concert for the second time. We feel the Finance Board did not look into what the event stands for, that being the engagement of students from all faiths coming together as one. This denial has shown the entire student body of SU that the Finance Board does not appreciate the work that Hillel does for this campus. In light of these recent budgetary proceedings, the Hillel Student Board is weary of its support of uncontested SA presidential and incumbent comptroller candidates. Both promise to “Put Students First” and “focus more on the merit of the programs that need funding,” according to a Daily Orange article published on Nov. 4. We are upset that a budget proposal with such merit and substance behind it was yet again denied because of a price tag. Some of the reasons the Finance Board gave were that “the event was not cost effective” and that a concert would not “bring additional members into their organization.” Hillel does not have a membership; anyone can be a part of Hillel no matter what faith the person belongs to. This 60th anniversary concert was an opportunity to celebrate the concept of inter-faith programming. We feel the Finance Board has squandered an opportunity based on lack of research on what the mission of Hillel at SU is: “Hillel engages students by deploying its staff to reach out to college students. Through engagement programming, Hillel draws these students into Jewish life with innovative and non-traditional activities.” Hillel hopes that the next Finance Board will be able to properly evaluate the true merit of a program without analyzing its cost effectiveness first.

Neal Casey for Student Association President In an uncontested bid for president of Student Association’s 55th session, Neal Casey presents a platform that provides realistic and achievable goals. His campaign, “Putting Students First,” demonstrates his dedication to creating a community where student voice is at the forefront. Casey has held a leadership position within SA since joining his freshman year. He was the chief of staff under Larry Seivert and is the chair of the Student Life Committee under Jon Barnhart. He has also served on the Finance Board. These experiences give him the knowledge to successfully implement his goals. Under his overarching goal to make SA a more results-based organization, Casey plans to reform spending of the student activity fee, improve on last year’s MayFest and include students in key decisions that matter to them. On reforming spending, Casey plans to create mechanisms to determine if student organizations are effectively using their allotted budget. This could free up money for other organizations. Given the limited resources SA has for student organizations, this could prove to be one of Casey’s biggest accomplishments if successful. Last semester, Casey was heav-

editorial by the daily orange editorial board ily involved in the beginnings of implementing a medical amnesty program on campus. The medical amnesty policy would allow students to call for help in the case of a drug- or alcohol-related emergency, without worrying about possible penalties. A potential policy is currently being drafted by the university. Casey’s work on this initiative shows he understands what issues are important to students. As chair of the Student Life Committee under Barnhart’s administration, Casey was at the forefront of developing MayFest in Walnut Park. He continued the Euclid tradition, replanting it to Walnut Park and shaping it to meet the concerns of both the administration and the students. During his administration, Casey plans to build off the success of last year’s MayFest. Eventually, he hopes to stabilize it so that other student organizations can take on planning it in the future. If he was only able to accomplish one goal during his term, Casey said he would focus on maintaining or lowering tuition. Although he lacks concrete ideas on which to explore
t h e i n de pe n de n t s t u de n t n e w spa pe r of sy r acuse, new york

such options, he says examining university spending is a start. For example, SU salts all roads and sidewalks during the winter, which results in replanting damaged grass each spring. Looking at such policies and searching for more cost-effective alternatives could lead to savings that could potentially be redistributed to bettering student life. Despite Casey’s poorly promoted campaign, he exhibits solid ideas that are both realistic and attainable. Focusing on issues that directly affect students, such as MayFest and the medical amnesty policy, Casey clearly understands what students care about. To create an effective and successful administration, Casey needs to outline and develop specific goals. His platform of “Putting Students First” places him on the right track, but a track that former SA presidential candidates have built their campaigns around. By its nature, SA is a student-driven organization. But to give students tangible results, Casey’s administration needs less talking and more doing. Voting for the next SA president will begin today and ends Nov. 11. Students can vote via MySlice. The Daily Orange endorses Neal Casey for president of the 55th session of SA.

sustainability from page 3
SU’s C grade in student involvement could be because many of the sustainability projects around campus are not visible or accessible to students, Martin said. Water conservation, renewable energy sources and other energyefficient techniques are not tangible to the average student, so it is hard for students to be more involved, Martin said. “It’s hard to be interested in something that you can’t see,” Martin said. But Martin said new projects on campus such as the renovations to the College of Visual and Performing Arts and the rain garden on Waverly Avenue are two truly visible sustainability projects. He said he expects student involvement to rise. “More projects on campus will start to make people more aware of what’s going on,” Martin said. Sustainability is incorporated into first-year orientation with the focus on “healthy people, healthy economy, healthy planet,” said Keenyn

Wald, co-chair of the Civic Engagement and Sustainability Committee. Students are taught during their first floor meetings to recycle certain materials into the designated bins and are encouraged to not waste food in the dining halls, he said. Student involvement was somewhat helped by the fact that the university offers one graduate assistant position in sustainability. There are no paid sustainability internships for undergraduate students, but the addition of a program like that would help boost student involvement, Wald said. The Office of Resident Life is implementing a program called “Tap Into Water,” Wald said. The program is based around bottled water and how it negatively affects the environment, so dorms across campus are encouraging reusable water bottles and water filters. In addition, Wald said residence life is experimenting with water timers, which are like egg timers that would suction to the shower and provide students with a countdown to aim for shorter showers. SU received its lowest grade, a D, in the category of shareholder engagement. SU earned
a D last year and an F in 2009. Barbara Wells, the treasurer for Business, Finance and Administrative Services, said because SU is a private university, it is not obligated to release all financial information. This could attribute for the low marks, but the documents on asset allocation are available to the public on the SU treasurer’s website. SU maintained a B in the food and recycling category, but dining halls have made efforts to purchase fruit, vegetables, dairy and meat products locally whenever they can. They have also recently implemented a composting program partnering with the Onondaga County Resource Recovery Agency, Wald said. SU received an A in the climate change and energy category, as it did last year. Steve Lloyd, the associate director of sustainability at SU, said it is largely because of extensive progress the university has made on the Climate Action Plan, SU’s pledge to be more sustainable. “Our Climate Action Plan is different than any other institution’s because ours is not based on specific buildings,” Lloyd said. “We are doing it in a fiscally responsible manner, and through technology, behavior change and building
upgrades, we can get this program to be selfsufficient by 2023.” The Climate Action Plan is going school by school, starting with VPA. Lloyd said there are 10 buildings on campus VPA primarily uses, and the Sustainability Division is planning to make VPA environmentally friendly through changes in energy, water use, lighting and other behavior and sustainability practices. The sustainability team has been in contact with a design contractor to discuss the major problems with the buildings and then go through the process of fixing them. Lloyd said the team expects to do this for every school at SU if everything goes according to plan. In addition, Lloyd said SU purchases 12 percent of all energy from renewable sources, and 20 percent of electricity comes from low-impact power sources, which is renewable because it takes in natural gas. “It is better for the environment, but we do pay a little extra,” Lloyd said. “The percentage will go up if the economy holds out. A lot of things have been put on hold due to the economy.”
problems, Cantor said. “Every great university needs a great College of Law, and a great College of Law needs a great university,” she said. Richard Gluckman, a 1970 undergraduate alumnus and 1971 graduate of the School of Architecture, is the architect for the project. He said the opportunity was a rare moment when he felt like he was in the right place at the right time. It is a great opportunity to create something at his alma mater, Gluckman said. Gluckman
did not reveal the design of the building because he said he expects some people will try to add their opinion about how the design should look. “They would have to offer a lot more than two cents,” he said with a laugh. “And it doesn’t mean I am going to listen.” Hannah Arterian, dean of the College of Law, said the building will be a critical component in SU and the College of Law’s mission to provide a vibrant legal education. “This is the right time, the right place, with the right people,” she said. Michael Kaplan, a third-year law student,
spoke on behalf of the student body. He began with a quote from Winston Churchill: “We make a living by what we get. We make a life by what we give.” He said Friday’s event was about more than the Dineen’s generosity. It was also about embracing the opportunity they have given the faculty, students and alumni, he said. He said: “The current and future students now owe our success to you.”

Milad, owner of the Marshall Street location, told The Post-Standard that Chipotle plans to lease the building from the family, but the deal has yet to be finalized, according to an article in The Post-Standard on Friday. The Planning Commission also voted to waive the 39-parking space requirement for Chipotle, according to Monday’s Common Council agenda. King David’s also had a parking waiver, according to The Post-Standard. Chipotle broke ground for and opened its first Syracuse restaurant this year in DeWitt on the corner of Erie Boulevard and Kings Street, near ShoppingTown Mall, according to an article published in The Daily Orange on Jan. 20. Syracuse University students expressed excitement over the opening of the first Chipotle, according to the article.

The restaurant specializes in Middle Eastern cuisine, such as falafel, stuffed grape leaves, shish kabobs and hummus. The change in restaurants would replace Middle Eastern cuisine for the popular Mexican chain’s burritos, salsa and lime-cilantro rice. King David’s opened its first Syracuse restaurant in 1974 on Marshall Street. The Hatem family opened another store in Fayetteville’s Towne Center in 2004 and a third restaurant in Rochester several years ago, according to King David’s website.

DUTY ESF makes special effort, holds forum to discuss veterans’ place on campus

STAFF WRITER
t least two months after the end of the Iraq War combat operations, the State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry is trying to make campus more veteran friendly the week of Veteran’s Day. The Office of Counseling and Disabilities Services will host a Veteran’s Forum Tuesday from noon to 1 p.m. in Moon Library. The forum will focus on student and faculty input to make ESF more welcoming to veterans, according to the college’s website. ESF already provides special benefits for veterans and their families through the Office of Financial Aid. Children of parents who suffered severe disability or died during their military service are eligible for the Regents Grant or the Children of Deceased or Disabled Veterans Grants. These awards offer New York state residents up to $450 per year. Syracuse University recently made an effort to improve life for veterans on campus with the opening of the Veterans Resource Center Nov. 11, 2009, according to a Nov. 12 article published in The Daily Orange. Along with the center, SU is home to the Student Veterans Club, which
offers peer-to-peer networking for student soldiers and veterans, according to a Nov. 4 Daily Orange article. Veterans and children of disabled or deceased veterans are also eligible for financial aid under the Veteran’s Readjustment Benefits Act of 1966. ESF veterans also qualify for federal benefits through the GI Bill and the Post-9/11 GI Bill, also known as the Post-9/11 Veterans Education Assistance Act of 2008. Veterans who have served at least 90 days of active duty service since 9/11 are eligible for the Post-9/11 GI Bill benefits, which increase with the amount of time served in active duty, according to the SUNY website. The benefits cover up to the cost of the most expensive public university in the state and some private schools. The Post-9/11 benefits, similar to the World War II era GI Bill benefits, provide tuition payments to the university, as well as a monthly living stipend and $1,000 book and supply stipend to recipients. In addition to the center and club, SU participates in the Post-9/11 GI Bill’s Yellow Ribbon Program, which provides full coverage for the cost of attending private schools not covered under the Post-9/11 GI Bill, according to SU’s Veteran Resource Center website. jlsiart@syr.edu

“For many, these visits are limited to carefully scripted tours and meetings with pre-selected student representatives.” Facebook, as well as many other social media websites, allows prospective students to have a more personalized experience as they prepare for arrival on campus, Rotolo said. By engaging with a college’s social media presence, students can gain a much broader sense of campus life, he said. Students can interact with other students, faculty, alumni and even other current-decision applicants before deciding on a college. Facebook has helped incoming students participate in the campus community before moving in, Rotolo said. Students may arrive on campus already aware of student organizations and events they want to participate in, he said. Rotolo said many new students arrive on campus with their social network already forming because they prefer finding roommates and making friends even before arriving at college. “Facebook can be particularly helpful in providing context when meeting classmates or roommates in person for the first time,” he said. “It is not uncommon to see incoming students participate in conversations on the SU Facebook and Twitter pages.” Maddie Kirshenblatt, a sophomore television, radio and film major, was worried when she found out her roommate would be selected randomly. She said she was afraid that her roommate would be nothing like her and that they would not get along. “I wasn’t comfortable with taking that risk,” she said. After Kirshenblatt joined the “Syracuse University Class of 2013” group on Facebook, she found a link to another group created specifically for finding female roommates. “You filled out these questions and posted your answers to the wall. Then girls would message someone they thought they were compatible with,” Kirshenblatt said. “I found this girl, we talked for a while and decided to room together.”

Up until this day, Kirshenblatt does not regret her decision. “It was a great experience, learning to live with someone else,” she said. “We got to know each other’s lifestyle. I made a really good friend out of it.” Four years later, Laura Foti, a sophomore public relations major, is the creator of the “Syracuse University Class of 2013” group on Facebook. The group currently has 2,356 members. Foti said the response she got from incoming freshmen last year was incredible. Now often referred to as “the Facebook girl,” Foti said that though she created the group, she had no idea what she was getting herself into. “All of a sudden, people started messaging my personal account. They had questions about when school started, when they could move in — all questions they could find on the website if they looked,” said Foti, a former staff writer at The Daily Orange. Rotolo said it is sometimes easier for new students to locate information on social media websites because they receive a large amount of information from schools, making it difficult to locate an answer quickly. Students often post their move-in questions to social media sites and receive quick and personal responses as an alternative to sorting through a university’s website, he said. Foti said she was eager to help, so she started sending out mass group messages and reminders to answer as many questions as she could. “Going to college for the first time can be very difficult and scary, and you want to ask a lot of questions,” Foti said. “I think that the group turned out to be a forum where students could ask those questions.” Rotolo said social media websites allow students, future students and alumni to stay better connected online and offline and that social media will even become more dominant in the future. A university benefits from a community that is active both online and offline, he said. He said: “The more we can engage these three audiences and the more they connect with each other, the more successful we are as a university.” mgegkolfew@syr.edu
partake in the festival. Even though he is away from home, the celebration still holds significance for him. “Leaving home and being out on my own, I feel obligated to keep up with the tradition,” Vissa said. “It means a lot to me, especially being Indian, being born and raised in the United States, going to school at a place like Syracuse, you need to kind of keep track of where you come from.” mgcanale@syr.edu

ven though he knew almost nothing about Syracuse University, Neilsen Hing-Mahn Kwan applied and was accepted to the College of Human Ecology. Then a high school senior in Hong Kong, Kwan had no idea what life at the university would be like. H ow e v e r, Kwan was eager to learn about every aspect of the social and academic life at SU, what the campus looked like and where his dorm was located. “I came across the ‘Syracuse University Class of 2011’ group on Facebook. The group had almost 1,000 confirmed members,” Kwan said. “Those were the people I was going to college with.” Kwan, a senior and pre-med student, said he was not the only student curious about what the next four years would be like upon joining the group. “There were several questions and facts posted on the group wall. Everyone got the chance to learn many things they didn’t know,” he said. “The group also gave a better insight of the people incoming students were going to be surrounded with.” September of 2010 marked the five-year anniversary of Facebook opening its doors to high school students. Kwan said the “Syracuse University Class of 2011” group was a great way for him to learn more about SU and gave him a better idea of what to expect. “You arrive on this campus, you don’t know anyone, and you have to adapt,” Kwan said. “This group helped me meet new people, make friends and informed me about events around campus. It was very helpful.” Anthony Rotolo, assistant professor of practice and social media strategist at the School of Information Studies, said in an e-mail interview that social media websites are becoming very influential when it comes to picking and joining the right college. “Prior to social media, the only way for prospective students to get a feel for a college campus was by visiting,” Rotolo said. see facebook page 8

Students coordinate first Diwali celebration on campus By Melissa Canales-Rosales Contributing Writer
Students from Syracuse University, as well as residents from the city, gathered outside the Women’s Building on Saturday to celebrate the yearly Hindu event, Diwali. Diwali, also known as the festival of lights, is a celebration of the triumph of good over evil. The president of the Indian Student Association at SU, Venkat Dharmarajan, a biology graduate student, coordinated the festival with the help of Food Services, the Office of Student Life and Recreation Services. This is the first Diwali celebration hosted by
the Indian Student Association, Dharmarajan said. The tuwrnout ranged across all different religions, ethnic backgrounds and ages, all coming together for one purpose: to celebrate Diwali, he said. Dharmarajan said Diwali enriches the Syracuse community. “It shows much of the Indian culture, from the way that we do prayers to our food to our music,” Dharmarajan said. “But most importantly it shows the community the culture of Diwali.” Those who came to worship gathered for prayer, during which candles and incense were lit up as a part of the ceremony. Once the prayer
ended, the dancing began and later food was served. Naresh Vissa, a senior finance, accounting and broadcast journalism major who attended the event, believes Diwali means much more than just a celebration. It’s a chance to take a break from life and enjoy the spirituality behind Diwali, he said. “It’s not the food, it’s not the dance and all that. It’s more about coming together and doing something different, getting in touch with our spiritual sides,” said Vissa, a former columnist for The Daily Orange. While the traditional Diwali celebration
involves fireworks, participants also lit clay lamps to represent the lights significant to the celebration. Raj Subramanian, a senior finance major, said that since Diwali is a celebration of lights, the lamps were the most important part. “To me, Diwali is like the biggest Indian holiday. It’s celebrating the good or a new beginning,” Subramanian said. “You can say it’s like the Indian version of Christmas because there’s a celebration of light so it’s very important to have a candle lit or some form of light wherever you are during the next day or so.” Many of the students who have participated see diwali page 8

Maw Maw (Cloris Leachman)
Jimmy’s cousin, who lives with the family. He tends to stay away from the baby business, but every now and then he pops in with a girl or two he met at a party. What else can you expect from a guy who lives in a tent in the laundry room?
Jimmy’s great-grandmother, who raised Virginia after her own mother took off. Maw Maw is more than a little insane. She has a tendency to walk around in just a bra or even topless, while mistaking her great-grandson for her former husband at times. She can be a good person to find out family secrets from during the few times she’s lucid, but all the other times, she’s just an old lady wandering about aimlessly.
Burt (Garret Dillahunt)
Virginia (Martha Plimpton)
Jimmy’s mother, who has no problem expressing her reluctance to take in her new granddaughter. After giving birth to Jimmy when she was 15 years old, Virginia knows the problems that go along with early parenting. She still struggles with some of these problems, such as lying to her child or smoking with a baby in the backseat. Her rock-solid, tough-mom interior weakens at times, but overall she’s a tough cookie.
Jimmy’s father, who acts more like a teenage misfit than a parent. Usually wearing band T-shirts or commenting on how attractive Hope’s mother used to be, he keeps the show light. Burt usually doesn’t know much about what’s going on around him, but his love toward his wife, son and granddaughter is obvious.

Golden Knights wear down, frustrate Orange in upset victory By Zuri Irvin Staff Writer
If Syracuse ice hockey head coach Paul Flanagan compared SU’s weekend game to boxing, its opponent in Clarkson entered as the journeyman. The Golden Knights were the underdog, having won three games in 10 contests entering Friday. But it played the game, a game it eventually won, as a brawler. For Flanagan, who told the Orange after its 3-2 upset loss to Clarkson that it needed to size up its opponent before the game like a boxer, his team was beat up. “I just told the team, ‘You size up your opponent,’” Flanagan said. “It’s like you’re a boxer in a ring. You have to look at your opponent, and we didn’t do that until it was too late.” Friday, Clarkson proved to be the brawler SU didn’t halt until too late. In boxing, the brawler is a slugger — a boxer who lacks mobility and has a predictable punching pattern, but makes up for all that with raw power and the ability to knock out his or her opponents with a single punch. The journeyman is a boxer with good skills but has limitations and little or no expec-

his second touchdown of the day. That gave the Cardinals a 21-17 lead from which it would never look back. And there was the second drive, the methodical 12-play, 90-yard march that spanned the end of the third and beginning of the fourth quarters. The drive ended in a 21-yard touchdown pass from Louisville quarterback Justin Burke to wide receiver Josh Chichester, after a beautiful play-action fake left Chichester open and ready to run into the end zone. Two drives, 150 yards. SU was down 28-20 and couldn’t recover. “They took chances,” SU defensive coordinator Scott Shafer said of Louisville’s offense. “They came in with a little bit of a different
tations of winning a fight. By the time Syracuse looked up on Friday, the journeyman Clarkson team that SU saw skate onto the ice felt more like a brawler. The Orange dropped a tough match against the smaller, little-brother university from upstate New York. This was no heavyweight championship, but of the two teams, Syracuse was favored, having fared better against several of Clarkson’s previous opponents. That didn’t matter much to the dozens of Golden Knight friends and family in attendance or to the live band that they brought with them. And it certainly didn’t matter much to the Golden Knights on the ice, who scored three unanswered goals to all but put away the Orange early in the third period. Three quick scores, much in the vain of the brawler. “We just have to recognize, you can’t get outworked,” Flanagan said. “We come back here, and we’re not half of what we played last weekend. It’s pretty frustrating.” The second period saw the Golden Knights knocking the puck free, getting it off the boards
and getting multiple looks on net en route to taking a 14-7 shot margin. When the Orange was trying to play one-on-one, the Golden Knights were throwing numbers. When Syracuse was trying to be smooth, Clarkson was violent. In
offense. They made some great adjustments.” And so, instead of a celebration that was six years in the making, a normally stout defense watched as the Dome fell silent and Chichester ran to meet his teammates on the Louisville sideline. The SU defense, one that had punished its last two opponents on the road at West Virginia and Cincinnati, had been torn apart by a makeshift offense without its two most important players — Powell and quarterback Adam Froman. Louisville adjusted by working in two tight end and overload sets in its offense. The Cardinals ran plays Shafer and the SU defense hadn’t seen on film during the week. And they made key conversions, including going 2-for-2 on fourth down. On fourth-and-4, during the second touchdown drive of the second half, Burke’s conversion to Andrell Smith set up the 21-yard touchdown a play later.
“On fourth down, it was a heck of a play by that kid,” SU head coach Doug Marrone said. “They threw the ball behind him, and the kid made a good play. That is what it is about. They executed, and we didn’t when we needed to.” Syracuse’s only second-half score was a Ross Krautman field goal after it had taken a 17-14 lead into the half. SU took that lead in the first half because of its bread-and-butter run game. SU’s game-tying 12-play, 70-yard drive in the second quarter was facilitated by running backs Delone Carter and Antwon Bailey. Bailey rushed for 19 yards on the drive. Carter rushed for 31, culminating in an eight-yard power run in to the end zone to knot the game at 14-14. “The matchup was our offense vs. their defense,” Marrone said. “Going into the week, we knew they were going to bring a lot of pressure. We’re a young offense, and it was impor-
“We come back here and we’re not half of what we played last weekend. It’s pretty frustrating.” Paul Flanagan
SU head coach
the first-ever matchup between the two schools, the Golden Eagles landed the first blow in what now looks to be a competitive series. The Orange will go on the road for the second half of a home-and-home set with the Golden Knights this Friday. “They don’t quit, ever,” SU goalkeeper Kallie Billadeau said. “They might not be the most skilled girls, but they just worked so hard. They
battle. And we have to be ready for that, we can’t just dangle around them. We have to fight as hard, and harder than they are.” Although Syracuse was able to score first, Clarkson’s methodical attack produced the decisive goals. The Golden Knights eventually found the net off a stick deflection late in the second period and again during the final seconds of a 5-on-3 power play. Clarkson won its third straight game to improve its record to 4-6-1. And SU fell below .500 to 4-5-1. Syracuse has previously skated around New Hampshire. It has been outlasted by Boston College and Providence. It has pounded Union College. And Friday, SU was humbled by Clarkson. Each week is a separate fight, and Syracuse is learning a lot about the sweet science to competing week in and week out. “The beauty now of being able to size up your opponent — we know them. And we should know what to expect,” Flanagan said. “You’re not going to beat that team unless you at least match their work ethic.” zoirvin@syr.edu
tant to see how we would handle it.” And the SU offense couldn’t play its part. Despite the two second-half drives, the Syracuse defense twice made the third-down stops it needed to give the SU offense a chance. Each time, it went three-and-out. The third time, the Orange couldn’t hold the Cardinals. And on a gusty fourth-and-1 call from its own 40-yard line with 3:18 left, Burke rumbled behind center to pick up the first down and effectively end the game. Louisville stole what could have been a bowl-clinching win for the Orange. Even if its two premier offensive weapons didn’t play a single down. “Too little, too late,” Shafer said. “We never made a play where we could shift the momentum and get the ball back to our offense with a short field, and that’s what we have to do.” bplogiur@syr.edu

Missed opportunities, mistakes lead to loss DRILL By Andrew L. John Sports Editor
UP
Delone Carter It wasn’t so much “up” for Carter as it was just doing what was expected. Entering the game, everyone knew Carter would be the workhorse the SU offense would look to. And Carter held up his end of the bargain in a game where it seemed everyone else didn’t. The senior went for 107 yards and a touchdown, but the more telling number was that Carter went over five yards per carry for the third game in a row. Dorian Graham With the Orange’s usual kick returner, freshman Prince-Tyson Gulley, out with mononucleosis, Graham stepped in as the team’s kick returner. And in just five returns, Graham pent up a feeling of more potential for a big return than Gulley perhaps had all year. Graham used his blazing north-to-south speed to average 26.2 yards per return.
DOWN
Doug Hogue Hogue’s partner in the Big East’s best duo at linebacker, Derrell Smith, played well, recording 12 tackles. But a week after leading the Orange with eight tackles at Cincinnati, Hogue amassed only four against the Cardinals. Ryan Nassib It was another game in which Nassib failed to surpass the 200-yard mark through the air. But in a season in which Marrone is expecting Nassib to manage the game, he failed in that department, as well. The Nassib-led SU offense had the ball for only a little more than a third of the time in the second half.
HERO Jeremy Wright Bilal who? Wright stepped in and filled the void for a running back that entered the weekend as the nation’s fifthleading rusher. He finished the day with 98 rushing yards and two touchdowns, raising his game against a stout SU run defense.
ZERO Alec Lemon The SU offense as a whole didn’t get the job done in the second half, but Lemon gets the nod for a drop in the third quarter from which the Orange could never recover. He dropped what would have been 30-yard touchdown catch that could have given SU the lead back.

Louisville finishes a 12-play, 90-yard drive with a 21-yard touchdown pass to give the team a 28-20 lead. The Cardinals converted a gutsy fourth down to keep the drive moving. And Syracuse would not threaten the rest of the way.
Standing in the hallway adjacent to the Syracuse locker room Saturday, Justin Pugh summed up his team’s emotion in three short sentences. This game was about missed opportunities. Missed opportunities that came from a series of penalties and miscues. And as a result, SU had missed an opportunity to become bowl eligible for the first time since 2004. “It’s definitely frustrating,” the redshirt freshman left tackle Pugh said. “We know that dropped balls and penalties happen. We just have to stay positive.” Returning home after two marquee Big East road wins, Syracuse revisited the inconsistency that plagued the team in a Homecoming blowout loss to Pittsburgh three weeks ago. The Orange racked up eight penalties and, perhaps more importantly, allowed Louisville to generate points off them. That ultimately proved to be the deciding factor Saturday as Syracuse fell to the Cardinals, 28-20. In a game that was decided by one possession, a series of miscues and penalties kept SU from advancing to seven wins and becoming bowl eligible. Though the Cardinals committed more penalties and had several missed opportunities of their own, SU’s came at the most inopportune times. “We made some mistakes, and they capitalized on them,” senior linebacker Derrell Smith said.
Starting with the opening kickoff, Syracuse put itself into a hole that was difficult to crawl out of. SU return specialist Dorian Graham took the kick and returned it to the SU 41-yard line. But a clipping penalty brought the return all the way back to the 10-yard line. So instead of starting the game near midfield, quarterback Ryan Nassib and the offense stared down 90 yards of turf before the end zone. The drive ultimately led to a Rob Long punt. “We made mistakes out there, right off the bat we had a turnover, which they turned into seven points,” Syracuse head coach Doug Marrone said. “Then we had a couple penalties and some coverage issues, which allowed them to score.” Later, with 7:30 remaining in the first quarter, a Nassib fumble set the Cardinals up nicely on SU’s 41-yard line. Three plays later, UL was celebrating in the end zone. “It is difficult to deal with,” senior linebacker Doug Hogue said. “We have to execute correctly during the game to capitalize.” And although the Orange eventually went into halftime with a 17-14 lead, the second half proved to be even more problematic. When Louisville took a 21-17 lead with 10:34 remaining in the third quarter, it never looked back. A series of miscues played a significant role in keeping the Orange from regaining the lead. As Syracuse marched down the field immediately following UL’s touchdowns in the third,
two open shots to the end zone were dropped by sophomore receiver Alec Lemon, and SU settled for a 42-yard Ross Krautman field goal. “Drops happen in a game,” Lemon said. “All you have to do is bounce back. Plays can happen like that.” With the Orange trailing by eight early in the fourth quarter, a 23-yard run by running back Delone Carter was negated due to an illegal formation penalty. What would have given Syracuse a first down near midfield instead put the offense in a third-and-10 situation. A play later, SU punted for the first of three times in the fourth quarter and failed to seriously threaten the Louisville defense down the stretch. The miscues continued throughout the game for the Orange, preventing a fourth-quarter comeback despite multiple stops by the SU defense. With three more games remaining to capture that seventh win required for the Orange to become bowl eligible, Smith said it’s not time to panic. Instead, Smith said, the Orange needs to take the loss for what it is and simply move on. Move on from a missed opportunity. “It is very disappointing, but the season isn’t over, and we have a couple more games to go out and reach our goal. We are going to go back to the drawing board and watch the film and fix our previous mistakes.” aljohn@syr.edu
Carter passes Little for 5th on all-time SU rushing list By Andrew L. John Sports Editor
Senior running back Delone Carter moved into fifth place on Syracuse’s career rushing list with his performance Saturday. Carter rushed for 107 yards and a touchdown on 21 carries, surpassing SU greats Dee Brown, David Walker and Floyd Little along the way. He now has 2,724 yards in his SU career. “It is an honor, but I will recognize that and focus on that after the season,” a dejected Carter said after Syracuse’s loss to Louisville. Carter kept the Orange afloat for the majority of the game, allowing the Orange to move the ball down the field in the early going, gaining 78 yards in the first half alone. The performance gave Carter his 10th 100yard rushing game of his career. He is currently ninth on SU’s career rushing touchdown list with 22 and is tied for 12th in total touchdowns.
SU remains winless at home in Big East With SU’s loss Saturday, the Orange finds itself still searching for that elusive first home victory in the conference. Its three wins in the Big East — against South Florida, West Virginia and Cincinnati — all came on the road.

one of those things. We were trying to keep the same game plan, and they knew exactly what was going to come.” While Louisville made adjustments and eventually got through with its pressure, Hackett and the Orange didn’t switch up. And that was SU’s downfall. It was no more evident than in two late
Though the Orange is a league-best 3-0 on the road in conference, it’s one of just two teams still winless on its own field in Big East play. In each of the past two games, the SU offense was able to make plays and overcome its mistakes. That wasn’t the case Saturday. “The past couple of games, we’ve been on the winning end in taking advantage of mistakes,” SU head coach Doug Marrone said. “And this time, we weren’t able to overcome it, which is why we’re on the losing end of this score.” Saturday’s loss to Louisville makes this weekend’s road game at Rutgers that much more important. With seven teams (including Syracuse) tied in the loss column in the Big East standings, a loss could send SU free-falling in the standings. And though SU has looked impressive on the road thus far, that doesn’t necessarily mean beating Rutgers in Piscataway, N.J., is a foregone conclusion. “Like I just told the players and told them at the beginning of the year, this is going to be a difficult season, we’re going to have to fight and scratch,” Marrone said. “Nothing comes easy in this game.”
Too much bowl talk? With so much talk about the Orange potentially clinching bowl eligibility against Louisville prior to Saturday’s game, defensive tackle Andrew Lewis said the Orange needs to forget about that and focus on the game that lies ahead. “We need to go out there and beat our next opponent and focus less on achieving a bowl bid,” he said. Marrone prepares his team the same each week, he said. Despite the expectations that have evolved due to SU’s quick start, he wasn’t going to make this game into something different. And even with bowl talk aplenty, the SU head coach was not about to fan the flame prior to taking the field Saturday. “I realized that I was going to build this game up as a game to win,” Marrone said. “But I wasn’t going to build it up with very, very high expectations.” Following the loss, Marrone and his staff immediately turned the focus to the next game. Away from the Syracuse bowl-talking bubble, “Right now we’re a 6-3 football team with three games left to play,” Marrone said. “And all our focus will go on our next opponent.” aljohn@syr.edu
drives, down 28-20, in which the Syracuse offense couldn’t respond off two stops from its defense. The Cardinals’ pressure was there, complete with hurries from Kamal Hogan and Malcolm Tatum that forced Nassib incomplete passes. Two drives, six plays, 15 yards. A 2.5-yard average, about on par with the rest of the half. Maybe that average is the reason Doug Marrone trusted his defense to make a play more than he did his offense in the final minutes. Because on fourth-and-4 from its own 42-yard
line with fewer than five minutes to play, Marrone elected to punt away. You can’t blame him. Syracuse needed three yards. It hadn’t done that on most occasions Saturday. “We wish we had a couple more minutes on that clock,” running back Delone Carter said. “And we wish we could have gone out there and won that one.” Somehow, that’s a little hard to believe.

SU falls victim to physical Clarkson defense By Ryne Gery Staff Writer
With the Syracuse ice hockey team trailing in the third period Friday, Isabel Menard finally got an opportunity that eluded SU for much of the game. The sophomore Menard led a three-on-one break but lost control of the puck in front of the net before she could get a shot off. It clarkson 3 was that kind of night for Orange, as it failed syracuse 2 the to capitalize on the few scoring opportunities it had all game. The lack of scoring opportunities doomed the Orange in a 3-2 loss to Clarkson. SU (4-5-1) couldn’t find its rhythm against Clarkson’s stingy defense, which limited the Orange to 27 shot attempts. Head coach Paul Flanagan felt the Clarkson (4-6-1) defense was the difference. The Clarkson unit won the battles for the puck most of the game. Flanagan said his team got outworked and was slowed down by its opponent’s game plan. That game plan revolved around one thing. “Their defensive scheme,” Flanagan said. “They just are kind of in your face, and they don’t give you much room.” Syracuse struggled with the pressure all night. Flanagan told his team early on that it needed to adjust to the physical play. “We kept trying to urge them from the start of the game to get pucks on net, get the loose pucks,” he said. “I got 23 women in there I have to go tell what to do, and sometimes
they don’t listen.” The Orange started to listen in the last half of the third period. SU broke through the defense for some scoring chances but failed to capitalize on multiple breakaways. Menard lost control of the puck on that three-on-one break. Clarkson took possession and came down the ice to score, making it 3-1 with just over seven minutes to play. Senior Ashley Cockell and junior Lisa Mullan each had breakaway opportunities soon after the goal, but came up empty. SU made it interesting after Menard sliced through the defense to score for the second time with 1:23 to play. The Orange pulled freshman goalie Kallie Billadeau under the one-minute mark for an extra attacker and managed three desperation shots. But it was too little, too late for the Orange. The damage had already been done. Clarkson wore down Syracuse in the first 50 minutes of play. Menard got the Orange on the board first on a power-play opportunity at the start of the second period. Clarkson responded with a power-play goal of its own with under six minutes to play in the period and scored again less than two minutes later from the blue line to take the lead. The Golden Knights’ first goal came on a five-on-three power play. Julie Rising, Menard and Mullan chased the puck for about one minute and 30 seconds. The sequence took a lot out of the Orange players.
“In the second period, you can’t get a very good change, and I know the three that were out there were just gassed,” Flanagan said. “Lisa Mullan can barely get off the ice.” The Clarkson defense made sure SU couldn’t catch its breath either. Menard said Clarkson pinched its defenders and constantly had pressure on the puck. The Golden Knights were just more physical. “They had a couple girls that were big, and they came forward to us in the zone,” Menard said. “We just got to chip the puck around them, and they’re not as fast as our forwards so we can just beat them like that.” SU expected a physical matchup, but it still couldn’t break the Clarkson defense. Cockell said the team seemed intimidated at times. She believes the team needs to execute and remain on the attack to beat a team like Clarkson. “It’s just a matter of getting the puck deep and getting on their defense,” Cockell said. “We just got to get pucks to the net, that’s all there is to it.” The Orange is now on a three-game losing streak. Cockell thinks the team is better than its record shows. But she knows SU must prove it on the ice. “It’s obviously frustrating for us because we think we can be a better team,” Cockell said. “We think we can win a lot more games than we have so far. We think we’re the better team on the ice, but when it comes down to it, we’re not winning the little battles.”

not in the cards
Syracuse falls to Louisville, fails to secure bowl bid By Brett LoGiurato

nate shron | staff photographer doug marrone walks off the field following Syracuse’s 28-20 loss to Louisville Saturday. The Orange produced just 62 yards of offense and three points in the second half, delaying its attempt at its first bowl bid since 2004. Syracuse remains in second place in the Big East.

Syracuse failed to clinch a bowl bid Saturday with a 28-20 loss to Louisville inside the Carrier Dome. It still needs one more victory to become bowl eligible for the first time since 2004.
Asst. Sports Editor
errell Smith couldn’t explain why Louisville packed more than its entire first-half offense into two second-half drives. Behind the podium, the senior Syracuse linebacker Smith could only rifle off a look of complete bewilderment. “I have no idea,” Smith said. “We’re going to watch the film, see what we did wrong, fix it and go on.” For a team that amassed 106 total offensive yards by halftime, Louisville bunched all of that and more into those two second-half drives that led the Cardinals (5-4, 2-2 Big East) to a 28-20 victory Saturday in front of 40,735 inside the Carrier Dome. There would be no celebration of bowl eligibility for SU (6-3, 3-2 Big East) on this day, no celebration of a winning season. Instead, it was a celebration for Louisville. A celebration of the program’s first road Big East win since Oct. 13, 2007, at Cincinnati. There was the first drive, the 10-play, 60-yard push that came in the opening minutes of the second half. Running back Jeremy Wright, who filled in admirably for the injured Bilal Powell, ended the drive with

Inefficient pass offense preventing Orange from taking next step
A
fter each failed drive, after each mistake, Ryan Nassib’s first turn walking off the field is to the JumboTron. He looks to the replay, hoping for something fixable he didn’t see during the play. Saturday, he turned to the JumboTron a lot. And he turned to it on two hapless, three-and-out drives in the fourth quarter with a chance to mount a comeback. “They were definitely frustrating,” Nassib said. “I personally had a couple of errors on a few drives, and I take responsibility for those.” Part of a recurring theme lately for Syracuse has been that wretched offense. Especially in the passing game. All season, it has been just good enough to win. Against South Florida, the 98-yard, game-winning drive saved an abysmal performance. Against West Virginia, it was a good run game and defense that saved Nassib’s performance to forget. Against
bret t logiur ato
outrageous fun Cincinnati, the nation’s 98th-ranked pass defense, Nassib couldn’t open anything up downfield. Time to put it out there: In a year of across-the-board improvement for Syracuse, this passing offense is the component that is keeping it from winning the Big East. Offense wins games. Defense wins championships. That’s the saying, at least. And through the first five games of Big East play, the SU defense has tried to do both. When it became clear that wasn’t going to be the case against Louisville, the offense
couldn’t step up to the challenge. We finally learned what it was like for the Orange to play from behind for most of the contest Saturday. And it wasn’t pretty. The two exceptions were the 51-yard touchdown to Alec Lemon on what appeared to be a blown coverage and a 12-play touchdown drive in which the Orange nearly exclusively used its run game. After that, though, the Louisville defense adjusted quickly. Syracuse’s offense is not a Rubik’s Cube. Run, run, run the ball. It has worked this season in conjunction with the defense, to the tune of six SU wins in its first eight games. But Saturday, Louisville stacked the box and dared SU quarterbacks coach and offensive play-caller Nathaniel Hackett to take a shot deep. Even on passing downs, the Cardinals brought the house, leaving oneon-one matchups in the secondary.
“Right off the bat, we knew they were going to pressure,” Hackett said. “We knew that was kind of their forte. We kind of prepared for every possible pressure you could possibly imagine.” Obviously, not every possible pressure. Because in the second half, the Syracuse offense didn’t even look like it was prepared to go out and play. Nassib had one completion of more than 10 yards in the second half. The offense as a whole had 62 yards. Sixty. Two. Divide that by 23 offensive plays. That’s 2.7 yards per play. And with that, the Orange watched as Louisville controlled the clock for nearly two-thirds of the half, marching down for two gamechanging drives when SU couldn’t get anything going. “I could have sworn I thought we were going to just roll right down like we had earlier,” Hackett said. “It was
