Illegal student actions limit Warehouse hours By Stephanie Bouvia ASST. NEWS EDITOR

carly reeve | staff photographer Crowds gathered Sunday to watch chefs prepare three meals in 50 minutes for a panel of judges in Goldstein Auditorium. Cooks were challenged to include fennel, a locally grown herb, in their dishes.

After receiving an email Jan. 23 stating The Warehouse will no longer be available to students 24 hours a day due to inappropriate and illegal behavior, Syracuse University design majors held a meeting to discuss a plan of action to get the old hours reinstated. Twenty-one students, including communications design, fashion, and industrial and interaction design majors, gathered in The Warehouse Auditorium at 12:20 p.m. Sam Salzano, a senior communications design major and one of the organizers of the meeting, said she wanted to bring students of different majors together

so everyone understood the situation. “I think we would be more effective in having the hours opened or reinstated if we’re doing something together,” Salzano said. The Warehouse, located at 350 W. Fayette St., is the main location is where design students go to complete art projects. The building is now open to students from 6 a.m. to midnight. Many students said they take advantage of the late-night hours, sometimes even spending the night in the building to finish their work. Many students are worried the shorter hours will affect their academic performance and the quality

Local chefs compete in city’s first Iron Fork event By Anna Hider CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Delicious smells wafted over Goldstein Auditorium on Sunday afternoon. Chefs frantically chopped, stirred, peeled, sliced and cooked with all their might, hoping to win the title of Syracuse’s first Iron Fork Champion. In the end, chef Jason Wright and his team from the Brewster Inn came out on top, winning the customembroidered Iron Fork chef jackets, engraved knives and trophies. The Century Club of Syracuse placed second, and Sysco Syracuse

took the third spot. Local Syracuse restaurants in 12 teams of three had 50 minutes to cook three dishes — an appetizer, entree and dessert — for the panel of three judges, including Food Network star and Central New York native Anne Burrell. The event not only highlighted local foods and chefs, but also a local charity, The Rescue Mission, which feeds the homeless, helped the community in many ways. Anita Leitgeb of the Rescue Mission was very excited about the event, which was the kickoff event to

celebrate the Rescue Mission’s 125th anniversary. “People have been very supportive. It was a lot to put together, but it was well done,” she said. Like Iron Chef America, one of the inspirations for the event, the floor was set up with stations for the chefs. Each of the four stations, which teams used in a staggered rotation to keep moving, had a stove, oven and counter space where chefs worked their culinary magic. Another aspect the event borrowed from Iron Chef America was

Otto the Orange unveiled his new and improved costume to the largest Carrier Dome crowd this season at the men’s basketball game against West Virginia on Saturday. The Syracuse University mascot was rolled onto the court in a box before the game and jumped out to show 28,740

adoring fans his updated look. Otto now flaunts a brighter orange peel, new sneakers, a different hat and blue gloves. The old Otto wore white gloves and a hat with “Syracuse” written in a script typeface, while the new Orange wears a blue hat with just the letter “S” and a Nike symbol on it. Brian Spector, president of the

SU Alumni Association, said he was not involved in the redesign of Otto’s costume but had received a few complaints in the last few months about its appearance. “Costumes get old. After a lot of years they need to be replaced,” Spector said. “I think (the new ones) look pretty cute.”
