Casey wins with 1,397 votes cast

By Laurence Leveille Asst. Copy Editor

Neal Casey was elected president of the 55th session of Student Association early Friday morning with just more than 10 percent of the student body voting.

“Tonight just reaffirms our opportunity to really do some good for the campus,” Casey said, after hearing the results.

A total of 1,397 students — 10.4 percent of Syracuse University and the State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry full-time undergraduate students — voted, current Presi-

With the victory in Piscataway, N.J., the Orange became bowl eligible for the first time since 2004. The win also guaranteed Syracuse’s first winning season since 2001, when it went 10-3. After Rutgers kicker San San Te missed a 45-yard field goal that would have given the Scarlet Knights the lead, SU quarterback Ryan Nassib led a 66-yard drive to set up Ross Krautman’s bowl-clinching 24-yard kick.

FBI agent recalls investigation of Pan Am 103 bombing

By Sean Cotter Staff Writer

Richard Marquise searched the 845 square-mile crime scene for a piece of circuit board that would link Libyan terrorists to the Pan Am Flight 103 bombing.

“The piece of evidence that cracked the case could fit on the tip of my finger,” Marquise said. “I said, ‘If someone sneezes, we’re going to need to do another crime scene search for evidence.’”

Marquise is a former FBI special agent and lead investigator of the task force assigned to the bombing

over Lockerbie, Scotland, that killed 35 Syracuse University students.

Marquise, who spoke Thursday in the Life Sciences Complex, worked in the FBI for more than 30 years.

Marquise walked the audience chronologically through what he called the “10-year odyssey” of the investigation. The tiny piece of circuit board evidence eventually led Marquise’s task force to Abdelbaset al-Megrahi, who was eventually convicted as a Libyan intelligence officer and the man behind the bombings.

Al-Megrahi was tried before a Scottish court in the Netherlands.

“It was an electric moment. They don’t have commercials in situations like this. The judge just stood up and said that they found Mr. Megrahi guilty on all accounts,” Marquise said.

Al-Megrahi was released from prison in August 2009 on compassionate grounds that terminal prostate cancer could end his life in three months. He remains alive today. New York senators and other U.S. leaders have called for al-Megrahi to be put back in prison after he survived nearly a year longer than expected and after questions arose about a pos-

sible backdoor deal between British Petroleum and the British government to have him released.

Marquise showed the audience a picture of a baby’s shoe embedded in the ground after falling from the plane and another of the broken tail of the plane emblazoned with an American flag.

“It hits home here in Syracuse maybe more than in any other city in the United States,” Marquise said.

Marquise finished the lecture with a short video that showed interviews with some family members of the victims of the tragedy. see marquise page 6

Four Loko sales in New York to end next month

By Michael Boren and Beckie Strum The Daily Orange

Four Lokos will no longer be available for purchase in New York state after Dec. 10, according to a news release issued by Gov. David Paterson’s office on Sunday.

The State Liquor Authority came to an agreement late Saturday with Four Loko’s parent company Phusion Products to stop shipping all alcoholic beverages that contain caffeine and other stimulants to New York state.

Shipments will permanently stop on Friday, and beer distributors have until Dec. 10 to clear their inventories.

In addition to ending the shipment of Four Lokos, Phusion Products agreed to fund a public awareness campaign about the dangers of alcoholic

The Obama administration has developed a plan to begin transferring security duties in some areas of Afghanistan to that country’s forces, according to The New York Times.

Fan injured at Rutgers not from SU

WEEKEND briefs

Two cars collide on Euclid Avenue • Two cars collided at the intersection of Sumner and Euclid avenues on Friday at 9:17 p.m.

No Syracuse University students were involved in the collision. But officers from the Department of Public Safety and the Syracuse Police Department blocked off a portion of Euclid Avenue from Livingston to Ackerman avenues while they cleared the accident.

A black 2008 Mercedes was traveling west on Euclid Avenue when it collided with a tan 2005 Nissan crossing the intersection and heading north on Sumner Avenue, DPS Lt. Edward Weber said. There were two passengers in the Mercedes and three passengers in the Nissan. All suffered minor injuries and refused to be taken to the hospital, Weber said. The injuries were treated by Rural/ Metro Ambulance.

Both of the cars suffered property damage and both were to be towed by SPD, Weber said. The Mercedes could be driven but was leaking fluids, and the Nissan wasn’t drivable, he said. Two flatbed trucks from Henson Towing and Collision Service were on the scene to tow the cars.

SPD was the main police agency handling the accident with DPS assisting, Weber said.

“Just two cars hit, that basic,” he said. “There were no SU students, and it’s nice to see that.”

• Syracuse police issued Shawn Austin, a senior in the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications, an appearance ticket for lewd or scandalous expressing of indecent acts Wednesday at 1:45 a.m., according to the police report.

Police found Austin urinating on a pole on the 700 block of University Avenue, according to the report.

• Samuel Disston, a senior in the College of Arts and Sciences, reported a larceny on Oct. 28 at 9:05 a.m. to Syracuse police after several items were taken from his car, according to the police report recorded Saturday. Disston, who lives on the 1100 block of Madison Street, told police his car alarm alerted him that it had been set off when he went to his white Subaru on Oct. 23, according to the report.

Upon inspection, Disston found a Garmin GPS, radar detector and power adapter, a combined worth of $500, were missing from his car, according to the report.

A 20-year-old male who fell down stairs in Rutgers Stadium on Saturday is not a Syracuse University student, according to the SU student directory.

The man, Nicholas Amabile of Florham Park, N.J., is also not affiliated with Rutgers University, said university spokesman E.J. Miranda.

Amabile remains in critical condition with serious head injuries after an accidental fall during SU’s 13-10 win over Rutgers on Saturday, according to a report in The Asbury Park Press on Sunday.

The fall came just prior to halftime during the game between Rutgers and SU at the stadium, Rutgers spokesman Jason Baum said Saturday.

Amabile fell down the stadium’s south stairwell near the student section of the stadium, Baum said.

He was transported to Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital in New Brunswick, N.J., Baum said.

Baum said Rutgers would not release any more information from the investigation into the injury.

Ceremony details history of SU veterans Hendricks food

By Laurence Leveille Asst. Copy Editor

As veterans came home from World War II, Syracuse University became a leader for its commitment to providing education to returning soldiers.

Veterans were remembered and honored for their dedication and sacrifices at SU’s first Veterans Day Ceremony held in Hendricks Chapel on Thursday.

“In our gratitude, let us come this day to rededicate ourselves to the task of promoting and enduring peace so that the efforts of our valiant veterans shall not be in vain,” said the Rev. Tiffany Steinwert, dean of Hendricks.

Throughout the ceremony, speakers summarized the histories of Veterans Day and SU veterans. Keynote speaker, Capt. Melvin Stith, dean of the Martin J. Whitman School of Management who served in the Vietnam War, also spoke of the impor-

tance of veterans in society.

After Steinwert’s invocation and the national anthem, Lt. Col. Ray Bowen, chair of SU’s ROTC Air Force, gave a brief history of Veterans Day. Lt. Col. Susan Hardwick, commander of SU’s Army Reserve Officers’ Training Corps, and Bowen read a proclamation from Onondaga County and a letter from Gov. David Paterson.

Michael Rivezzo, a senior in Whitman, shared what he has learned about the history of SU veterans.

Under Chancellor William Graham from 1937 to 1942, the university changed its graduation policy.

Rather than taking four years to graduate, students could take three semesters a year and graduate in a little more than two years to serve in World War II, Rivezzo said. During former Chancellor William Tolley’s tenure, the Servicemen’s Readjustment Act of 1944 was enacted, which

provided college education to returning veterans.

The university offered admission to 9,464 veterans in 1946, said Eric Spina, vice chancellor and provost, who also spoke on the history of SU veterans later in the ceremony.

“Enrollment in our campus tripled, literally overnight,” he said.

“To say the least, housing arrangements were unorthodox.”

To accommodate for the enrollment increase, Tolley purchased 24 local houses to provide lodging for students, Rivezzo said. SU also made an agreement with the former U.S. Department of War to create more infrastructures on campus. By May 1946, there were 300 more spaces created — 200 for housing and 100 for classes. There were also 225 families that formed a community in the lower section of Skytop, he said.

World War II surpassed those of other universities, which struggled due to inconveniences caused by the increase of student enrollment, Spina said. SU set a national standard and was praised by then-President Harry Truman.

This era transformed the university due to the veterans’ impact. Students and faculty alike experienced a diversity of perspectives in the classroom due to veterans’ extraordinary experiences, Spina said.

“The spirit of that era became coded in our university’s DNA,” he said.

Although educational benefits for veterans increased during wartime, between World War

news@ da ilyor a nge.com

II and 2009 they reduced as national funds were redirected, Rivezzo said.

In light of conflicts in the Middle East, SU has made an effort to expand its support and create more programs for veterans, including the Entrepreneurship Bootcamp for Veterans with Disabilities. SU also opened the Veterans Resource Center and the Student Veterans Club last November.

Stith, who served in the U.S. Army Military Intelligence and Security Command during the Vietnam War, spoke about the importance of the military as a leader in society.

When Stith was in Vietnam, he received a telegraph that said he had a full scholarship to SU. Three weeks later, he arrived at the university, he said. Professors and staff members made the veterans feel like they belonged, he said.

And they continue to do the same for young men and women who come to SU today, Stith said.

“We say, ‘No matter where you come from or how you get here, you’re part of the family, and we want you to take the best care,’” he said.

Stith emphasized veterans are critical to the success of society because they have shown they can lead the way and because of their capability to succeed.

“We know that if we expand these bright and

honest through Syracuse and into what we call the real world, we know the real world will be a better place,” he said.

The ceremony was moved to the Quad to present the wreath. The SU Veteran U.S. Flag was then flown for the last time by the ROTC Honor Guard. The flag has traveled to 12 different locations since Flag Day, June 14, and Hendricks was its final destination. It is now in display in the Veterans Lounge of University College. lgleveil@syr.edu

History of Veterans Day Nov. 11, 1918, is regarded as the end of the “war to end all wars.”

Although World War I — “The Great War” — officially ended with the Treaty of Versailles on June 28, 1919, fighting ceased months earlier when an armistice was called between the Allies and Germany on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month.

President Woodrow Wilson called the first Armistice Day commemoration on Nov. 11, 1919, as a day to be “filled with solemn pride in the heroism of those who died in the country’s service.” The day was to be celebrated with parades, public meetings and a suspension of business beginning at 11 a.m.

The U.S. officially recognized Nov. 11, 1918, as the end of WWI with a resolution June 4, 1926. The resolution also proclaimed on Nov. 11 the flag should be displayed on all government buildings and invited people to observe the holiday with ceremonies.

Armistice Day was made an annual legal holiday May 1938. In 1954, the holiday was expanded to honor veterans of all American wars and the name changed to Veterans Day. In October 1954, President Dwight Eisenhower issued the first “Veterans Day Proclamation,” designating an Administrator of Veterans’ Affairs as Chairman of a Veterans Day National Committee.

But the date of Veterans Day changed under the Uniform Holiday Bill signed June 28, 1968. The bill was to ensure three-day weekends for federal employees by celebrating certain U.S. holidays on Mondays. But the first time Veterans Day was observed with the changed date on Oct. 25, 1971, confusion and upset resulted. In 1975, President Gerald Ford returned the observance of the holiday to Nov. 11 beginning in 1978 due to the historic significance.

ide as

letters to the editor Thursday’s anonymous letter about Casey cowardly I am writing in response to the letter to the editor that was anonymously written Thursday concerning Student Association presidential candidate Neal Casey.

Casey did not request that I write this letter, but I feel like someone should respond to the cowardly attack levied against him by a nameless, gutless student.

I have known Casey and worked with him a lot since I have been at Syracuse University. He is a hard worker who cares about issues that matter to students. He has always conducted himself in a professional manner and is always respectful to others.

Casey took on the university when it came to MayFest and ended up compromising to keep part of the SU experience. MayFest at Walnut Park was obviously not what everyone wanted but was definitely something everyone could enjoy.

The student who attacked Casey in Thursday’s letter tried to under-

mine what Casey had done and what he continues to do to keep MayFest by saying it was Casey’s “baby” and that “it is his own personal agenda.”

I think that the 4,000-plus students who enjoyed MayFest last year at Walnut Park would beg to differ.

The coward who wrote the letter to the editor on Thursday foolishly complained that Casey was not an acceptable candidate for SA president. You would think that if he or she had such a big problem with Casey as a candidate, he or she would do something about it, such as run for SA president. But alas, you can’t run for elected office anonymously. I would suggest the unnamed member of SA who wrote the letter on Thursday to grow a spine. Next time he or she wants to attack an upstanding member of the SU community like Casey, he or she should have the guts to do so using his or her actual name.

The news media have chosen to focus on Sarah Palin’s appeal as a pop icon without any discussion of her competence — or lack thereof — as a politician. This “Entertainment Tonight”-ing of politicians is an astonishing and laughable disservice to the American people, irrespective of their political affiliation.

However insidious they have been, I have to hand it to the members of her team for establishing this ingenious interim niche between her loss in 2008 and the foregone conclusion that is her 2012 campaign for the big seat. Have no illusions, Palin is a politician, politicking daily. She’s simply starting her campaign early.

Yet most people’s appreciation for

Tony Olivero Kirsten Celo Danielle Parhizkaran Ankur Patankar Kelly Sullan Michele Paolella Luis Rendon Alyson Roseman Jon Harris Laurence Leveille Colleen Bidwill Elora Tocci Michael Cohen Mark Cooper

her did not stem from her negligible work — output as governor. They appreciate her because she sells obtuse political perspectives that are easy to understand and make everyone a hero. We’re going to get that pesky government out of your life, cut spending, reduce taxes, eliminate corporate oversight and let YOU save America. Yet, of course, she never mentions her unpopular plan to expand policies that concentrate an outrageous portion of America’s wealth with the wealthiest 1 percent.

Why the hell isn’t the mainstream media tearing her apart for promising the impossible? Entertain this analog’s circumstance: If your significant other cheats on you and

omits this truth by never mentioning that he or she cheated, this person isn’t lying to you, but he or she might as well have. The damage is the same. Palin is omitting extremely important large-scale objectives in her agenda and getting away with all of it because nobody in the media is treating her like a politician.

I resolve: Palin’s new reality television show, “Sarah Palin’s Alaska,” should be canceled on the grounds that it dangerously derails from and is entirely irrelevant to, ideologically speaking, her role as a politician.

dent Jon Barnhart said. Casey, who ran uncontested, received about 85 percent of the votes, or 1,099 votes. One hundred and four voters did not vote for president, and 194 votes were for write-in candidates.

Voting began Monday and went until Thursday at midnight. By early Thursday evening, only 9 percent of the student body had voted.

For elections to be declared official, 10 percent of the student body must vote. At approximately 9 p.m., SA received an update that 10 percent had been reached, Barnhart said.

This year marked a lower outcome than previous years. In 2008, 23.6 percent of the student body turned out to vote, according to an article published in The Daily Orange on Nov. 16, 2008. In 2009, 18.5 percent of the student body voted in the contested election between Barnhart and Hari Iyer.

“I think that one of factors was the fact that neither position was contested, and unfortunately, that doesn’t make it as interesting,” Barnhart said.

Elections usually receive the highest voter turnout on the first day polls open. This year, 588 votes, 4 percent, were counted on the first day.

The drive will end Wednesday, and the food boxes will be donated to local community organizations in Syracuse, such as the Huntington Family Center.

“We will also be making cards for families

Unlike previous years, there was a surge of votes between 4 p.m. and midnight on the fourth day of voting. By the end of the fourth day, 315 votes were cast in comparison to last year’s 278 votes, Barnhart said.

Casey will officially start his term as 55th SA president on Jan. 1. Barnhart said he would help him during the transition.

“We’ve gotten a head start, we’re ready to go,” Casey said.

Casey campaigned under the platform of “Putting Students First.” His goals for SA are to include students in campus decisions, improve the budget process to make more money available to student organizations and make SA into a results-based organization that focuses on its accomplishments rather than what it can do.

His first step to putting students first is by opening the vice president position to everyone on campus as Barnhart did last year. Casey will be choosing who will serve under him in the next two weeks.

“We really need a better voice for students who have made their name and been successful in other organizations to bring that experience into SA,” he said.

Jeff Rickert, also uncontested, was reelected as SA comptroller with 1,157 votes, about 89 percent of the votes. Another 133 votes were for write-in candidates, and 107

to accompany the food bags,” Monnin said.

“We are providing pizza and music and hope to make it a large event so people will get involved with the drive.”

Hendricks has held the drive for many years as a way to provide an opportunity to reach out to the community, Monnin said.

Most of the organizations receiving the donations are referrals from the chaplains at Hendricks, said Syeisha Byrd, director of the Office of Engagement Programs.

“Hunger has been an issue for many years here in the Syracuse community and all over the world,” she said.

A packaging party for students will be held the final day of the drive Wednesday

voters chose not to vote for comptroller.

Rickert has three goals for the upcoming term: to improve the budget process by removing rollover restrictions, to allow funding for student travel and to create a budget-reform committee to benefit student organizations.

“I’m happy to be working with Neal. We are very good friends,” he said. “I think we can get a lot accomplished next year and see positive change.”

Rickert plans to begin working on removing rollover restrictions, which prevent organizations with funds left over in the

spring semester from using them in the fall semester, once the appeals process for student organization funding passes, he said.

Also on the ballot was a referendum to remove Class Alliance from the SA codes, which also passed. SA and Class Alliance are two separate entities again. Class Alliance represents students by the graduating class and became a branch of SA in 2008, but concerns were raised over membership, and it was thought best to separate the two again.

The state’s largest alcoholic beverage distributors also agreed to stop selling and placing orders for malt-beverage energy drinks, according to the release.

“New Yorkers deserve to know that the beverages they buy are safe for consumption,” Paterson said in the release. He said the mutual agreement between beverage distributors and the State Liquor Authority is the first step in “removing alcoholic energy drinks from the market.” mcboren@syr.edu rastrum@syr.edu

The hippo was part of a recycled plastic art exhibit at the State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry that was aimed at increasing awareness about plastic waste.

The exhibit was created after Sandra Ficula, a senior environmental studies major, got the idea for it when she participated in a waste audit last spring, she said.

The audit, sponsored by Green Campus Initiative, revealed an unsettling amount of plastic waste on campus, she said.

“There was a lot of recycling in the trash, and a lot of people weren’t sorting trash, even though this is an environmental school,” said Ficula, a member of the initiative.

People are responsible for the amount of plastic waste, but the recycling systems across the country are also a large part of the problem, she said. Their infrastructures are inadequate and need to be reevaluated, but that still might not help the problem, Ficula said.

“I don’t really know what the solution is, though, because it takes a lot of energy to convert the recycled things to new products,” Ficula said.

Ficula first developed her dislike of plastics after learning about the carcinogenic properties of Bisphenol A, which is used to make polycarbonate plastic, she said. She said her dislike grew further after learning about the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, which is a large area of the Pacific Ocean polluted by small pieces of plastic and sludge that have been dumped in the ocean from mostly land sources.

Adriana Beltrani, a senior environ-

mental studies major who saw the exhibit, said she was surprised to hear about the cause of the Great Pacific Garbage Patch.

“You’d think that because it’s in the ocean, it would come from the ocean off of barges,” Beltrani said.

Beltrani said she thinks the exhibit was a good idea to bring awareness to the amount of plastic waste and the fact that it doesn’t decompose.

One of the pieces in the exhibit proved to be dangerous for its creator when a television, which was to serve as an ecosystem enclosure, exploded as it was being dismantled.

“My contemporary art piece almost turned into a death agent,” said John Summers, a senior conservation biology major who was temporarily blinded while trying to create his project.

Since recycling centers charge fees to process TVs, Summers said he and a friend

decided to turn a TV into a biosphere, an enclosure that contains an ecosystem, complete with soil and plants. The projects required them to remove the TV’s cathode ray tube, which helps create images on the screen, with an angle grinder. As they began to dismantle the TV, it exploded.

“All I had was glass in my hand and chest,” Summers said. “There’s no explanation as to why we didn’t have serious injuries.”

Summers said he will never try to dismantle a TV again, but the project was worth it because it allowed him to explore his creative side.

“You can still have an original idea, not everyone has done something like this,” Summers said. “I have almost no artistic bones in my body, but you can still create original works of art and feel good about it afterward.” jlsiart@syr.edu

High schools perform in women’s choir festival

By Diana Pearl Staff Writer

Bringing in high school students from the Central New York area, Barbara Tagg and the Syracuse University Women’s Choir presented a festival exhibiting women’s choral music while working to educate younger singers on Saturday.

The women’s choir hosted its 8th annual Invitational Women’s Choir Festival, featuring performances from two local high school women’s choirs, the SU Women’s Choir and the Mandarins, a university-based female a cappella group. The festival featured a day of classes and rehearsals taught by a guest conductor, ending with a final concert in Setnor Auditorium.

Participating in the festival this year was the Cazenovia High School Women’s Choir and the Skaneateles High School Women’s Chamber Choir.

Every year Tagg, the director of the SU Women’s Choir, invites a guest director to conduct two numbers in the performance and work with choir members during the master classes and rehearsals.

“The director I invite is usually someone I know from experiences in the world of choral music,” Tagg said. “Sometimes they work with professional musicians, other times they are from universities.”

This year Tagg invited Cara Tasher, director of choral activities and associate professor of voice at the University of North Florida, to participate in the festival.

Tasher has conducted choral ensembles

worldwide and has sung in several nationally renowned choral groups, such as the Chicago Symphony Chorus and the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra Chorus, according to the concert’s program.

Tagg said a main component of the festival is to educate high school students on the workings of college choirs.

“They’d have the opportunity to share in the choral arts,” she said.

Hayley Isaacson, a freshman in the Bandier Program for Music and the Entertainment Industries, appreciated the concert’s ability to expose high school students to the university’s music program.

“I like how they incorporated high school choirs and showed them a university choral setting,” Isaacson said.

The concert began with the Skaneateles High School Women’s Chamber Choir, which performed “The Bells,” an Edgar Allen Poe poem set to music, and “Lo, How a Rose E’er Blooming,” a classical piece.

The Cazenovia High School Women’s Choir performed next. Among their selections were “Abbe Stadler,” “She Sings…” and “Velvet Shoes.”

The Mandarins, an all-women’s SU a cappella group, performed two songs, including Hall and Oates’ “You Make My Dreams Come True.”

The SU Women’s Choir performed three pieces: Hebrew love song “Kala, Kalla (Light Bride),” “Will There Really Be a ‘Morning’?” and a jazz arrangement of the Sound of Music’s “Favorite Things.”

“I like how they incorporated high school choirs and showed them a university choral setting.”

The two high school choirs and the SU Women’s Choir concluded the concert by singing “O Music.” Tagg selects the songs for the festival every year. Tasher also selected the next two selections, “How Can I Keep from Singing” and “It Takes a Village.”

Attendees of the concert varied from family and friends of the high school students and Syracuse community members to SU students themselves.

Michael Rosen, a concert attendee, was pleased with the quality of the concert.

“I thought it was very well done,” Rosen said.

“The guest conductor did an especially good job.”

Freshman public relations major Lauren Duda, a member of the SU Women’s Choir, enjoyed the musical depth the choir displayed.

“The concert went extremely well,” Duda said. “We nailed our notes and rhythms, and our word diction was especially spot-on. And the high schoolers were very mature and seemed to appreciate the opportunity they had been given to sing at SU.”

nected.

The fabrics used were interesting, ranging from a dress made out of a beautiful purple pattern to a piece that resembled a tablecloth taken from the student’s grandmother’s house.

Some of the designs lacked the creativity expected from such an acclaimed fashion program. A couple of the dresses featured looked exactly like pieces that have been hanging on the racks of Urban Outfitters for the last two years. Other designs looked thrown together and were poorly fitted to the model. Granted, the show wasn’t a final collection, but if a piece is not ready for a show, it should be pulled.

In addition, the event lacked any kind of program that would credit which piece belonged to which designer.

Despite the shoddy executions, students felt the event turned out well.

“It was fun,” said Jenna Heller, a junior English and textual studies major who modeled in the show. “A little chaotic backstage, but it was definitely successful.”

The after-party took place at Bounce, a boutique located just around the corner from The Warehouse in Armory Square. Tables with bottles of water, cookies, cupcakes and vegetable plates were placed throughout the store, and guests were able to enjoy a 20 percent discount on merchandise.

“I think it went really well,” said Brown, the junior fashion design major. “I think it was successful, everybody worked really hard and it came together nicely.” letousig@syr.edu

include Chelsea Rolfes, a senior acting major, as Akela, and Matt Smith, also a senior acting major, as Sherakhan.

The set of “Jungalbook,” designed by Elizabeth Gleason, a junior theater design and technology major, leaves a great deal of creativity to the audience’s imagination. This is accomplished through a minimalist design that doesn’t require any set changes. The set is comprised primarily of scaffolding, metal beams and graffiti-covered walls on which the cast jumps up, down and around. It seems the graffiti serves as its own metaphor for an urban jungle.

Accolades must also be given to Emily Springer, a senior stage management major, for

the cleverly executed costume design. More of a modern fashion statement than an adherence to a typical animal look, each animal costume added to the overall metaphor of the production.

Wardrobe malfunction Poor outfit choices bring down student fashion show

By Lauren Tousignant Opinion Editor

he Fashion Association of Design Students hosted its annual fall fashion show in the lobby of The Warehouse Saturday. The show, themed “Fashion’s Night Out ‘Cuse Style” after New York City’s “Fashion Night Out,” was completely student-run.

The event helped raise money for a scholarship fund geared toward senior fashion design majors.

“It’s for seniors who are starting their senior collections to buy fabric, trims and materials, that sort of thing,” said Hannah Slocum, a senior fashion design major and president of FADS. The event presented a cheerful atmosphere and sizeable turnout, but the execution of the outfits was fairly disappointing.

The Warehouse’s lobby was arranged to resemble a New York City runway. The lighting, techno soundtrack and seating mix of chairs and couches created a sleek atmosphere comparable to a show in the city’s Soho district or Brooklyn’s Williamsburg. The lobby itself was very chic, and the bright green and stark white color palette created a playful aesthetic.

Featuring 60 looks, the show lasted about 30 minutes. Pieces were submitted from students in the fashion design program. Slocum said anyone in the fashion department could submit any of his or her pieces.

“It’s to showcase their work, to get their stuff in

The turnout was considerable for a studentrun event held downtown on a Saturday night, but in the past, the show has been held on Family Weekend, which attracted more people, Slocum said.

“I expected a little more, but that’s only because in the past we’ve always have had parents,” she said. “It’s usually always on Parents Weekend. But this year Parents Weekend was

in September, so we didn’t get everything in time for the show.”

Gareth Brown, a junior fashion design major and FADS member who helped produce the show, said it was a risk not holding the show during Family Weekend, when the show is normally held.

The outfits were oddly executed and even with a large number of looks, a T-shirt created for the event was modeled at least 15 times. A few

outfits featured a single designer’s piece worn with the event’s T-shirt and jeans. The designs, by themselves, were excellent, but the poor execution took away from the garments’ details.

Even though the event was a showcase and not an actual collection, the lineup seemed to lack any consistency. Except for the cluster of dresses, which came out near the end, the arrangement of looks was random and discon-

Strong actors, director intensify minimalist ‘Jungalbook’

By Noah Silverstein Contributing Writer

The production of “Jungalbook”

by Syracuse University’s Department of Drama draws laughter and kindheartedness from the audience though minimalist sets and a talented cast.

Based on “The Jungle Book” by Rudyard Kipling, Edward Mast’s stage adaptation “Jungalbook” plays out as a metaphor of today’s society.

With laws, class divisions, rivalry and a supreme ruler, there are definite parallels between the real world and the world portrayed on stage.

First shown in 1982, “Jungalbook” has been praised for adhering closely to Kipling’s original stories.

The story centers around Mowgli, the “mancub” raised by several creatures in the jungle: the wise and cautionary bear named Baloo, the leader of a wolf pack named Akela, and the protective and overseeing panther named Bagheera. Mowgli, meaning “young frog,” is often discriminated against for being different from the wolves he was raised around. After all, he has no hair on his face and has fingers. As a human raised by wolves, Mowgli doesn’t understand his place in the world. He must learn the rules of the jungle without angering Sherakhan, the cruel tiger who will pounce on anyone who steps out of line.

Mast adapts the words of Kipling into a relevant and inspiring piece of

theater. The jungle in the play can be seen as a reflection of the triumphs and pitfalls of modern society.

The direction by Felix Ivanoff, a SU drama department professor, is what really brings the piece to life. His background in physical theater plays a huge role in much of the production’s blocking and fight scenes. Action scenes and dramatic bits are staged with the same level of intensity that is persistent throughout the play, with actors swinging and jumping from platforms several feet high. Ivanoff understands the full potential in the performer’s capabilities, both physical and dramatic, and it is well displayed on stage.

The cast of drama majors per-

forms with a level of expertise far beyond their years. As an ensemble, the cast conveys the story effectively.

It is the individual performances, however, that deserve a majority of this praise.

Christian Leadley, a senior musical theater major, carries the lead role of Mowgli with a tremendous amount of range, both physically and dramatically. Every emotion he portrays is heartfelt and genuine.

Leadley jumps from platform to platform and swings around beams with ease, making every motion look completely natural.

Farasha Baylock, a junior acting major, plays Bagheera with a tremendous amount of heart and intensity.

Every subtle body movement is executed with fluid motions that make her portrayal of the character very believable. Her scenes with Mowgli proved to be the most sincere in the show.

Unfortunately, Jon Schoss, a senior acting major, gives an inconsistent portrayal of Baloo. For a role that has the potential to steal scenes from other leads, Schoss provides little dramatic variation in his performance. Though Schoss has a few moments during which his character’s insightfulness comes through, there were not enough to solidify a notable performance.

onsider “Glory Daze” that ‘80s show to avoid.

In the latest offering from upand-coming cable network TBS, “Glory Daze” features the misadventures of four drunken collegiate idiots. Set in 1986 at a fictional university in Indiana, the show follows four freshmen, Eli (Matt Bush), Brian (Hartley Sawyer), Jason (Drew Seeley) and Joel (Kelly Blatz), who become friends quickly. In an attempt to experience all that college offers, the four set out for greek rush. They accept bids at Omega Sigma, and the series premiere ends with the four starting to pledge for the fraternity.

The show, which premieres Tuesday, wants to take viewers on a part “Animal House” and part “Old School” trip.

Instead, the trip feels more like that painful car ride with your parents — the one where they talk about the parties, the pranks and the people at their alma mater.

Yes, that car ride, the one where you think one thing: This is lame.

‘Glory Daze’ drops ball in creating unique, college-based humor

“Glory Daze” manages to cram in every college stereotype with a painful blend that forces viewers to cover their eyes instead of laugh. It tries to create funny scenes but lands somewhere between inane and pathetic.

To consider these stereotypes, let’s start with Brian, a sports fanatic trying to balance his college life with his love of the game.

Brian plays baseball for the school team. “My father always taught that ball comes first, second and third,” Brian says to his coach. Brian rooms with another baseball player, who has a picture of Philadelphia Phillies third baseman Mike Schmidt in his room. And for some reason, even in the middle of a blowjob, Brian finds it hard to concentrate with Schmidt smiling at him from across the room.

Next we look at an Omega Sigma brother, Reno (Callard Harris). Reno tends to dress in floral shirts, questionable shoes and shorts.

He shares an odd relationship with a mannequin. There are obvious implications that when Reno fails to land a girl for the night, he turns to the plastic woman for some attention.

In the premiere, after Joel’s father accidentally runs over the mannequin, Reno runs out of the fraternity house to check on the mannequin. He finds that her leg broke off, but other than that, she seems fine (and he later turns

the leg into a bong). But as he runs back to the fraternity with the mannequin under one arm he yells, “I need 50 cc’s of vodka!”

In this brief examination, we find two stereotypes of the worst taste. Rest assured, more exist in this sitcom. It’s best to just treat all of the characters in “Glory Daze” as dimensional and dynamic as that mannequin. These stereotypes have existed for years, and they lost their humor long before former President Ronald Reagan’s time in office.

“Glory Daze” tries to create situational comedy, too, with the same poor result. In one scene, the four friends sit in a jail cell — the end result of a night finished with them drunkenly stripping down to their underwear and defiling the college’s Hall of Fame room.

In the jail cell, Joel starts mouthing off to a police officer. In response, the officer reaches for his stun gun and shoves the prod into Joel’s crotch, which sends Joel to the floor in writhing pain. The pain: apparent. The scene’s humor: nonexistent.

Instead of watching “Glory Daze,” go out and actually live the college life. adbrow03@syr.edu

After slow start, Jackson shows improved conditioning, jumper in win

By Andrew L. John SPORTS EDITOR

With the sound of his yell drowned out by the thunderous noise of the crowd, Rick Jackson released his hold on the rim. The Syracuse forward had forced a turnover and jammed home a putback on the ensuing fast break.

The Carrier Dome crowd was on its feet.

“He’s the heart and soul of this team,” SU guard Scoop Jardine said. “He’s our senior, he’s our leader, and we’re going to follow him.”

Moments earlier, with Syracuse attempting to separate itself in the second half against Canisius, Jackson emphatically put back another dunk over 7-foot-3 Marial Dhal. It, too, brought the SU bench and the rest of the Dome jumping to its feet.

After what Syracuse head coach Jim Boeheim described as a first half of “missed opportunities” for Jackson, the Orange’s lone senior dominated inside during SU’s second half separation from Canisius. Whether it was

CANISIUS F ROM PAGE 16

After watching his team struggle in the first half against a Canisius team that won just 15 games last year, Boeheim wanted to clear the air with regards to his thoughts on the perceived depth and skill of his team at this point.

Off of the horrid first half during which Syracuse shot just 31 percent, Boeheim vented about how he feels he only has four proven players on

a big dunk, controlling the boards or finding a cutting teammate with a pass to the basket, Jackson was the inside compliment to the backcourt duo of Jardine and Brandon Triche.

The Philadelphia native finished with 17 points, a career-high 13 boards, four blocked shots, three assists and a pair of steals while leading SU to an 86-67 win Sunday over the Golden Griffins.

“He kind of started off slow, but he picked it up,” Jardine said. “He’s fi nally able to play his game and do the things that he can do. …

This year, he’s playing free. He’s in a lot better shape, and he’s becoming the beast that I know he can be.”

After the game, Jackson cracked a smile when reporters hovered around his locker. This is why he put in so much work this summer. For games like this. Teammates raved during the preseason about the 30 pounds Jackson shed during the offseason. They gushed about the extended range on his jump shot. Until Sunday,

it was all just talk.

Against the Golden Griffins, Jackson flew up and down the court on the break. He was active inside defensively, and he was able to do things that even he didn’t think he could do a year ago.

“When you lose that much weight, you move better, you feel mobile,” Jackson said. “I don’t get as tired as I used to, and Coach can leave me in longer. Losing weight was key.”

With SU leading by just three at the intermission, Triche and Jardine jump-started Syracuse in the second half. The two pushed the break and made key shots down the stretch.

But it was Jackson who took care of the dirty work down low.

When defenders left him alone to shoot open 12- to 15-foot jumpers, Jackson gladly unveiled the stroke he had been working on all summer.

“I’m sure people are thinking that he can’t make that shot,” Boeheim said. “He hasn’t been able to, but he made two. … He played at a high level in the second half.”

During pickup games this summer, that jump shot is what Jardine remembers winning games for Jackson. It’s something he has honed and something he’ll rely on this year. With so many unproved freshmen, Boeheim reiterated Sunday that it will be especially important for the veterans to carry the load for SU this season.

With Jackson running the floor, being more active and hitting jump shots, perhaps the only thing left is for him to continually perform at a high level night in and night out this season.

With a cast of young big men, he’ll be relied upon to do that more than ever.

But if Sunday’s performance is any indication, Jackson has evolved as a player with a variety of abilities. The jump shot. The agility.

The mobility. It’s all there.

“Those are some things he added during the summer,” Triche said. “Other than losing weight, he’s added other dimensions to his game. Whatever it took to get better, he did it.”

the team. Any other so-called depth is nonsense to him.

“Give me a guy that has done something on our team,” Boeheim said. “One thing, we don’t have one player that has done one thing, coming off of the bench. The only guys that we have on our team that have done anything are Brandon (Triche), Scoop (Jardine), Ricky (Jackson) and Kris Joseph. They have done something. And when they struggled in the fi rst half tonight, we struggled.

“Anybody that wants to talk about depth, go

watch the tape of the first half tonight. You tell me how many games you think we will win with how much depth was out there.”

In that fi rst half, every Syracuse player struggled to score except for one of Boeheim’s four veterans in Jardine. After failing to score in SU’s season-opening win over Northern Iowa, Jardine was the lone offensive weapon SU had against Canisius’s mirror image 2-3 zone, slashing for 10 points in the first half. He was a part of a complete bounce back game from SU’s veteran starting guards. Against Northern Iowa, Jardine and Triche combined for five points. Sunday, they combined for 29 points on 6-of-11 shooting from beyond the arc.

As for the bench’s production, Boeheim felt Baye Moussa Keita was the lone bright spot from the freshmen. But he registered his staggering 15 rebounds against an undersized lineup. C.J. Fair? He was just good in the second half. Fab Melo? He is struggling because of foul trouble.

And Dion Waiters?

“He was a no factor today,” Boeheim said.

As were three of his core four in the first half.

But when the second half hit, with SU clinging to a 32-29 lead, Triche and Jackson took over.

The power forward had 11 points in only 15 minutes. And Triche propelled SU’s lead into double digits with three second-half 3-pointers.

“I think my demeanor just changed,” Triche said.

By game’s end, the Dome crowd was appeased.

SU romped another mid-major. Everyone got their time as Boeheim’s “10” all played 10 minutes or more.

But that scene was the end of the early season fairy tale. Even if it is a fairy tale Jardine feels could, and maybe should, come to fruition. It just remains to be seen how long it will take to surface, if it does at all.

“We have got a long ways to go,” Boeheim said. “We are not a good basketball team.”

DRILL UP

Doug Hogue A week after making only four tackles in Syracuse’s loss to Louisville, Hogue returned back to his usual self. Rather quietly, the linebacker made 12 tackles — 10 solo.

Doug Marrone This was his win. You could sense it in his three-minute long opening statement, highlighted by what he felt the win mean to the current seniors, last year’s seniors and the history of Syracuse football. But it didn’t mean more to anyone but him.

DOWN Alec Lemon

The sophomore wide receiver and usual starter did not play with a banged-up hand. Lemon injured it severely enough not to play at all when the Orange offense was struggling throughout the game. He is averaging 40.6 receiving yards per game on the year.

SU offensive line Against one of the worst pass-rushing defenses in the Big East, the O-line gave up four sacks. The Orange also only rushed for 91 yards total. But the unit may have performed better than the RU offensive line, who allowed six SU sacks.

HERO Ross Krautman After ascending to the spot of the Big East’s most accurate kicker throughout the course of the season, making 15-of-16 field goals, the freshman finally became the guy. The guy that brought SU to a bowl.

ZERO San San Te Te had a chance to be the hero. Instead, he was the goat, missing a field goal from 45 yards that would have given Rutgers the lead late. After the game, SU head coach Doug Marrone said he didn’t think all of the blame could go on Te, as he thought the snap and hold were poor as well. But, San Te has to take the brunt of the blame.

Turning point

3:51 4th quarter

San San Te misses a 45-yard field goal, which would have given the Scarlet Knights a 13-10 lead. The miss sailed just short of the crossbar, one play after SU linebacker Derrell Smith sacked Rutgers quarterback Tom Savage for an eight yard loss on third down.

SU defense comes up big again in game’s final minutes

By Brett LoGiurato Asst. Sports Editor

PISCATAWAY, N.J. – Max Suter has no idea why it always seems to happen. But Suter has noticed the Syracuse defense’s tendency to come up with the big play, the big series, when it matters the most.

“I don’t know what it is about this team,” said Suter, a senior safety. “Any time we need a stop, we come up with a stop.”

On Saturday against Rutgers, it was 10 yards.

Ten yards that turned the game on its end and sent Syracuse bowling with a 13-10 win, instead of going home wondering. Ten yards that enabled a kicker on SU’s side to celebrate, instead of one on Rutgers’ side.

It was all part of a generally stout defense that had its main trouble all day against Rutgers’ Wild Knight formation, allowing a total of 280 yards of Rutgers offense. But that didn’t matter anymore. All that mattered was that the Scarlet Knights were driving, far down in SU territory to the 17-yard line.

“It was a tough game, an ugly game,” senior linebacker Doug Hogue said. “But we executed at the end of the game when we needed to.”

Rutgers got the ball at its own 43 in crunch time — just fewer than nine minutes to play.

And quickly and simply, the Scarlet Knights moved the ball downfield the same way they had all game.

The Wild Knight. Jeremy Deering, a wide receiver who was the main threat under center in the Wild Knight formation Saturday, ran for five yards on first down. Then for six.

Then came the big play. On third-and-3 from

rutgers f rom page 16

goals. The first-year kicker drilled a career-long 48-yarder with 3:19 remaining in the third quarter to tie the game at 10. And after the Syracuse offense finally put together a 66-yard no-huddle drive in the final minutes, Krautman connected on the 24-yarder for the win.

But even if it was a win for a team, a university and a city, Krautman — in true kicker fashion — maintained the all-to-himself mentality.

That is, after all, how he won the game.

“I’m off on my own,” Krautman said.

Out of the spotlight all year, the freshman has quietly converted a Big East-best 15-of-16 kicks. But Saturday, Krautman was thrust into the spotlight. Before its final drive, SU only registered 242 yards on the day. Rutgers accounted for 280 yards on 73 plays. Both teams combined to allow 10 sacks on their respective quarterbacks. SU lost two fumbles, while Rutgers lost one.

But the specialists for the Orange kept the game close and gave it the win. Krautman ended it, but it all started with SU punter Rob Long. He prevented Syracuse from losing control of the game early with his Rutgers-prepared change to his punting approach. The senior captain kept Syracuse from giving up special teams points with booming line-drive punts, averaging 44 yards. The line drives were with a purpose, as Long narrowly escaped RU’s rushers.

“It wasn’t about the punts this game,” Long said. “It was about not getting one blocked.”

For the Scarlet Knights, the center of an ugly first half came in the form of freshman quarterback Chas Dodd, who completed three passes.

He was benched for sophomore Tom Savage for the second half. Savage provided the one spell of solid football for RU all day, orchestrating an eight-play, 85-yard drive to give Rutgers the

the Syracuse 39-yard line, Deering busted up the middle for 22 yards. And Rutgers kicker San San Te stood on the sideline, lining it up, imagining a 35-yard field goal try.

“I don’t know what it is about this team. Any time we need a stop, we come up with a stop.”

Max Suter

SU safety

“As a defense, your mentality is threeand-out,” SU cornerback Da’Mon Merkerson said. “Three-and-get-the-Gatorades. We came together. We said, let’s stop them. Hold them.

Make a stand, and we’ll see if we can give our offense another opportunity to go down there and score.”

Rutgers went away from Deering on the very next play. And it hurt. Kordell Young ran to the right and got pushed back, fumbling the ball out of bounds. A loss of eight.

Back to Deering. He gained a simple six yards back to the Syracuse 19-yard line, six of his 166 rushing yards on the day on 29 rushes that came almost exclusively out of the Wild Knight.

“The opportunity to run the football against a very blitz-heavy defense,” Rutgers head coach Greg Schiano said when asked why his game plan so heavily included the Wild Knight. “We thought it would be effective.”

For most of the day, it was. So on third-and-12

10-7 lead to start the half. For the rest of the half, both teams continued to struggle.

“I kept thinking, ‘Why is this happening?’”

SU head coach Doug Marrone said. “Why can’t we go out there and execute?’”

The Scarlet Knights failed to execute for the rest of the game as well. It all led up to what could have been a moment for the other kicker. But Rutgers’ San San Te missed a 45-yard field goal.

One Ryan Nassib, Marcus Sales and Antwon Bailey-highlighted drive later, Krautman trotted onto the field, head down, with the Nassib-described “moxie.” The kick was made, and for one game, at least, Krautman lifted the weight off Marrone’s shoulder. The season goals of a winning season and bowl eligibility

from the SU 19-yard line, would Schiano go back to Deering? Take the near six yards Deering had averaged all game and kick the 31-yarder?

Instead, Schiano went to quarterback Tom Savage under center, a more conventional approach.

And Derrell Smith made Rutgers pay.

Barely. He fell before he could put a solid hit on Savage, but he was there. And he grabbed Savage’s foot, held on for dear life and mustered enough strength to bring him down. Another loss of eight.

“Honestly, I don’t know how I got the sack,” Smith said. “I was on the ground. Fortunately, I grabbed his foot. I think that was a big play.”

So, in three plays, Rutgers moved back from the 17-yard line to the 27. Ten yards. It was all the difference in what would come next.

That 35-yard field goal Te had envisioned was now a 45-yarder. The snap wasn’t perfect, and Te kicked a low, wobbly line drive that fell just short.

“When I saw the ref wave his hands,” said SU defensive tackle Anthony Perkins, motioning a “no good” signal, “I was just ecstatic.”

And because of the 10 yards, all the Syracuse defense had to do was watch as its offense proceeded to march down the field and come up big when it mattered most. It watched as Marcus Sales caught a pass for 11 yards, as Antwon Bailey ran for 15 and as Delone Carter ran for nine.

And it watched as its kicker, Ross Krautman, seamlessly nailed a 24-yarder. As he, like the defense, came up big when it mattered most.

were achieved.

And as the last person in the press room, SU running backs coach Tyrone Wheatley lost his train of thought as well. Wheatley admitted after the game that even though Marrone referred to the win as “one game,” it did lift that weight. It was the one game, a game so important that as Wheatley walked back to the field, he asked who SU would play next and then who SU would end with.

But thanks to the specialists, after those two games, the Orange finally has another “one more game” to look forward to.

a player,” Marrone said. “(He) would always tell us, ‘Don’t ever mistake, part of the college experience is winning.’ We haven’t done that, and I always felt that it was my job to make sure we got over this hump.”

“This hump” had been built for six long years without a bowl. And so the win Saturday meant something for the past. The glory days of Syracuse football. The team as it was under the direction of Dick MacPherson, who Marrone affectionately refers to as “Coach Mac.” MacPherson and Marrone were together in Rutgers back in 1985 when Syracuse won its seventh game of that season. Syracuse went to the Cherry Bowl that year, its first bowl in — you guessed it — six years.

Today MacPherson attends all of SU’s home games to provide radio commentary, but he rarely travels to a road game because he attends each of his grandson’s usual Friday night games at Christian Brothers Academy.

But CBA’s season ended last weekend.

And for this potentially special occasion, MacPherson made the trip. And he watched one of his former players lead the new rebirth of a program that hadn’t been to a bowl game in six years.

sports@ da ilyor a nge.com

There they were, 25 years later. MacPherson recognized the similarities. How much significance Saturday’s win had for the past of such a rich program.

“This program was at a very high level at one time, two times,” MacPherson said in a telephone interview Sunday. “As two years have gone by, I think the selection committee and the fans have started to realize that Syracuse football is in very good hands.”

“This hump” was the culmination, for some SU players, of four long seasons of trials and tribulations that finally ended in triumph.

Nine wins in the previous three seasons, compared with seven already this year. And so the win Saturday meant something for the present.

When it became apparent that SU would come away with the victory, senior defensive tackle Anthony Perkins kneeled down in front of the Syracuse bench and pointed to the sky. Senior Da’Mon Merkerson and juniors Chandler Jones and Torrey Ball posed for the camera near them.

This was their moment. Soon after, Perkins joined his teammates in the festivities, the highlight of which was when he and others simulated bowling their helmets in celebration of going bowling.

Perkins wasn’t one to hide emotion. Pointing to the sky, the tears of joy came with,

finally, something to be proud of.

“For me, I couldn’t hold it in,” Perkins said.

“After the struggles that have taken place before I got here and in my early years, to finally get a bowl game on my side.

“It’s just … euphoria.”

“This hump” was finally conquered. And so this win means something for the future.

As Perkins said, the win means the end of bowl talk. Even this season, with two games remaining and still a chance to win the Big East, the goals have changed. On to bigger and better things.

Max Suter was asked how this win will be remembered 10 years from now. To Suter, it was all too simple.

“It’s definitely going to be a big thing,” Suter said. “This year, you know, we changed this program around. It hasn’t been like this in a long time, and finally we’re back to this bowl game.”

With all of the meaning for past, present and future, Marrone couldn’t help but show emotion. Even if it was only to his former head coach getting on the team bus.

“The only person happier than him,” MacPherson said, “was his wife.”

GOING BOWLING Freshman Krautman kicks Syracuse to bowl eligibility

ASST. SPORTS EDITOR

ISCATAWAY, N.J. – For the first time all day, Ross Krautman was lost.

No longer could the freshman kicker stand by himself on the Syracuse sideline, preventing his eyes from wandering into the Rutgers Stadium crowd of 49,911.

In the unfamiliar press room, he prepared to be peppered with questions concerning his 24-yard field goal with 1:07 left in the fourth quarter of Syracuse’s 13-10 win over Rutgers. The kick that sent Syracuse (7-3, 4-2 Big East) into bowl eligibility for the first time since 2004. Standing

bewildered, Krautman’s status on the team, and just how special of a game this was, became painfully evident.

On an evening in which Syracuse’s specialists won the game, Krautman was the hero. Under the familiar New Jersey lights, he kicked Syracuse into a bowl game.

But he was still lost among the glitz

of what this win truly meant for a starving program. He didn’t know where to go.

“On the podium, Ross,” a voice finally muttered from the press room crowd.

Krautman found his way to the podium, just like he found his way onto the field for the two deciding field

ISCATAWAY, N.J. — Doug Marrone wasn’t going to tear up again. Not this time. Not while walking across the field after Syracuse’s 13-10 win over Rutgers that clinched bowl eligibility. Not while his players cried tears of joy and simulated bowling their helmets in celebration.

Not at the podium, while the room waited for him to give the kind emotional reaction that came from a game, a season and a tenure full of emotion.

But even if it wasn’t the overly dramatic press conference, Marrone knew how much this win meant to the

ALL THE RAGE: Boeheim calls SU ‘overrated’

By Tony Olivero

S

ASST. SPORTS EDITOR

coop Jardine is certain Syracuse won’t lose to any team if Brandon Triche plays as he did in the second half Sunday.

“When Brandon is as aggressive as he was today,” Jardine said, “I don’t think anybody can beat us in the country.”

But after No. 10 Syracuse’s SYRACUSE 86 86-67 win over Canisius SunCANISIUS 67 day, SU head coach Jim Boe-

heim isn’t getting caught up in the “ifs.” He is in the now. And right now, his team is one he believes has been overrated. His team is the biggest question mark he has ever seen at this point in the season, compared with the expectations and press his team has gotten through two games.

Boeheim feels this team has earned none of the hype. And he went as far as saying that this Syracuse (2-0) team is his most overrated — at this point in the season — in 35 years at the helm.

“We need to get it realistic,” Boeheim said.

“Right now, we are the most overrated team I have ever had.”

The most overrated team Boeheim has ever had, compared with a team Jardine feels can’t be beaten. Those were the shells of the two versions of Syracuse that played in the first and second half in front of 20,454 in the Carrier Dome Sunday. It was a performance from Boeheim’s Top 10 team that evoked the strong words and a five-minute diatribe of early-season emotions.
