What’s in a name?

President calls for reconsideration of proposed name change, organization to maintain title of Student Association

Groups aid in quitting smoking Tobacco cessation groups to prepare for tobacco-free policy By Zeena Saifi contributing writer

JAMES FRANCO, an SA representative, stands at a monitor in Maxwell Auditorium that displays a proposed resolution to change the Student Association’s name. The assembly reconsidered the resolution Monday. chase gaewski staff photographer By Alexa Torrens and Will Norris staff writers

he Student Association’s proposed plan to change the name of the organization to Student Government Association was short-lived. Following a call for the reconsideration of the name change by President Boris Gresely, the new name, SGA, was struck down by the assembly at Monday night’s SA meeting in Maxwell Auditorium. SGA failed to receive the two-thirds majority vote needed to pass during the revote, which means the organization’s name will remain Student Association. Gresely said he reconsidered the bill because he wanted to give the assembly the chance to hear about the legacy and influence that the SA title has had for a very long time. Gresely acknowledged that SA has been the longest-standing name in the organization’s history. “It would be nice if we could keep some consistency,” he said. During its 71-year history, the organization has functioned under several names. Although the titles — including Joint Student Government, Student Government, Student Government Association and SA — may seem repetitive, they individually reflect the organization’s goals and purposes.

The 58th session of SA voted last week to change the organization’s title back to the Student Government Association. The SA assembly originally supported the proposal because many members said they felt it was time for SA to make students aware of what the organization see sa page 6

Sixteen people have registered for the second tobacco cessation support session for faculty, a program that has been very successful so far, its director said. “A lot of the people that are still attending the first session have already quit smoking,” said Cynthia Cary, director of smoking cessation at the State University of New York Upstate Medical University. “And we still have two weeks left.” The second group will begin meeting on March 2. The group will meet every week and the instructors will help the participants get through the process of quitting tobacco smoking. Cynthia Cary, director of smoking cessation at the State University of New York Upstate Medical University, runs the program and is in charge of the sessions. She said she anticipates additional enrollment in the program as the implementation date for a tobaccofree campus gets closer. She said that the content of the classes will remain the same for the second session, but the discussions might change in order to tailor it to the needs of the participants. On Nov. 11, 2014, SU announced that it will become a smoke-free campus in an effort to promote public health. Angela Herrera, a junior entrepreneurship and emerging enterprises major, said that she thinks this new trend aiming to limit tobacco smoking is great. “At first it started with the new smoke-free campus policy, then CVS stopped selling cigarettes and now this support group,” she said. zssaifi@syr.edu

TATTOO tuesday | daniel collins

Junior pays tribute to origins with family crest By Gigi Antonelle staff writer

Daniel Collins wanted a tattoo with meaning, so he went with his family crest. Embodied with historical meaning, it is also a portrayal of his love for his family. Collins’ tattoo is modeled after the physical crest that hangs in his family’s living room. The Latin words on Collins’ tattoo are “vincint pericula virtus,” which mean, “virtue conquers danger.” Historically, medieval knights wore the coat of arms in battle to cover, protect and identify themselves. However, it has evolved as a symbol of the family name. Collins is one of the most popular surnames in Ireland, with the origins of the name in County Cork and County Limerick. At the age of 18, Collins’ father immigrated to the United States from Ireland and attended Salem State University in Massachusetts. His family resided in Bishopstown, a southwestern suburb of Cork, Ireland. “My parents did such a great job

of raising me, so it’s a tribute to them and to where my dad comes from,” Collins said. Both of Collins’ parents are teachers and inspired him to pursue a career in teaching. He is an English and textual studies and education dual major with the hopes of becoming a high school English teacher. “I want to be a teacher to give back to the great teachers who have influenced me,” Collins said. Collins has been to Ireland four times, and his father travels back frequently to visit friends and family. His father’s family owns a summer home in Baltimore, Ireland. Views of fields, boats and the sea stretch for miles beyond the home, Collins said. “It’s like something out of a Robert Frost poem,” Collins said. “It’s old and everyone in town knows each other. It’s in the middle of nowhere.” Collins got his tattoo shortly before his high school graduation when he was 18 years old. He got it when he knew his parents were going to be away, and they did not find out until their return. gantonel@syr.edu

Faculty members take part in national survey By Rachel Sandler staff writer

A job satisfaction survey will be given to pre-tenure, tenured and full-time instructional faculty members who have been working at Syracuse University for at least a year. “Institutions generally have a very high response rate, so we’re looking forward to good participation from our faculty,” said members of the Collaborative on Academic Careers in Higher Education imple-

mentation team at SU in an email. The team includes Libby Barlow, assistant vice president of the office of institutional research and assessment, Jeff Stanton, interim dean at the School of Information Studies and Keith Alford, an associate professor at the David B. Falk College of Sport and Human Dynamics. The survey was created and will be administered by the COACHE, which operates out of the Harvard Graduate School of Education. SU faculty members have already

received emails with a link to the online survey. The survey is national, meaning that other universities like Tufts University, Dartmouth College and Tulane University, will also be participating. The results from SU will be compared to the faculty response at those other universities, according to a Feb. 16 SU news release. The survey aims to evaluate responses in more than a dozen areas that include the nature of faculty work, resources and support,

interdisciplinary work, tenure and promotion, institutional governance and leadership, work and personal life balance and more, according to the COACHE website. Once the data is collected, COACHE will analyze the data and send the university a written report during the summer. The report will also include how SU faculty member responses compare to faculty at other institutions when asked the same questions. see survey page 4

Study evaluates gender bias on Rate My Professor By Joe Leonard contributing writer

A recent study by a history professor at Northeastern University has shed light on how students view female professors compared to their male counterparts. The research uses reviews on Rate My Professor to prove that bias

against female professors exists. The research, performed by Ben Schmidt, provides an interactive graph with data from 14 million reviews on Schmidt’s website. The graph uses keywords like funny and rude to show how college students feel about their professors. The graph allows viewers to enter any word or two-word phrase, and

the data will show how many times the term is used per million words of text. According to the research, not all words have a gender split, but a surprising number do. “Gender bias can take many forms, both open and subtle. Its presence and extent vary across different contexts and settings on a campus,” said Guy Ozyegin, an

associate professor of sociology and gender, sexuality and women studies at the College of William and Mary, in a Feb. 16 USA Today article. The graph opens up with the word funny already plugged in. Funny is used almost 1,300 times per 1 million words for male psychology professors, but when it comes to females, see rate

The School of Information Studies at Syracuse University announced Monday that this semester’s convocation speaker will be Krista Canfield, vice president of corporate communications at Gogobot. Canfield joined Gogobot in December 2014, but she previously spent seven years working for LinkedIn on corporate, consumer and trade communications. Canfield, a class of 2003 alumna, was announced as the speaker at a gathering of the members of the iSchool’s senior class during an event in Hinds Hall on Monday. Canfield graduated in 2003. The iSchool’s convocation ceremony will be held on May 9 at 9 a.m. in the Goldstein Auditorium. “I hope I can give the students advice and guidance that encourages them to celebrate the diverse backgrounds of others while also continuing to create, grow and break boundaries,” Canfield said in the release. jmatting@syr.edu | @jmattingly306

ELECTIONS The Student Association assembly elected three students to the Finance Board and two students to the Judicial Review Board at Monday night’s meeting in Maxwell Auditorium. The candidates answered questions from the assembly before deliberations and votes. James Franco, a freshman history and political science major and newly elected Finance Board member, said he has always wanted to join the Finance Board, but wanted to give himself a semester of SA experience during his first semester at SU before joining the board.

While men were more often labeled as being boring, they also were frequently deemed exciting based on the graph. The graph does not account for gender of the reviewer, nor does it account for cultural background. Some of the discrepancies in fields such as science, technology and math can be chalked up to the underrepresentation of women in these fields, Ozyegin said.

They act really nice or really caring, but they don’t necessarily care,” said Justin Fields, a freshman in the College of Arts and Sciences. “I think they try to make students like them more, because a majority of us prefer male teachers.” “For me, the female teachers are more personal with you,” said James Patterson, a freshman in the College of Visual and Performing Arts. “My one teacher, for writing, she uses things like Buzzfeed to help relate to us.” Fields said he feels as if female professors try to be nicer, while Patterson said he finds female professors easier going than male professors. jpleonar@syr.edu

Election should proceed as if contested The Board of Elections and Membership chair reported to The Daily Orange that as of Monday only one candidate would be running for Student Association president. While the student has yet to announce their candidacy, they should run their campaign as if they did have an opponent. SA should also be sure to publicize this election to get voter turnout as high as possible. The deadline to submit a petition to run for student body president and vice president passed on Friday. At that time, two students filed petitions for candidacy. Since then, one candidate withdrew from the running. This semester marks the first year elections will be held in the spring. According to the SA Bylaws, “For a President or Comptroller election

to be valid, a total of five [5] days shall be allotted for the election… If by the fourth [4th] day, one tenth [1/10] of the student body has not voted the polls shall remain open for a fifth [5th] and final day.” The last time an SA president ran unopposed was in the fall of 2010, when Neal Casey was elected president of the 55th session of the assembly after receiving votes from just more than 10 percent of the student body. The student who does run unopposed should treat their campaign and platform with the same consideration they would if this election was contested. Campaigns are still important, because they create a sense of public accountability of what duties the student body expects the president to

scribble

perform while in office. This shouldn’t be an excuse for the candidate to rest on their laurels and assume the office will be handed to them. SA should also take this lack of interest in running for office as a sign that it needs to make the election widely publicized. When there were more candidates running for office in the past, it brought in higher voter turn out. In the last SA presidential election, in fall of 2013, there was a three-way race and a total of 4,411 students voted. SA should strive for the same level of voter turnout to engage as many students in the process as possible. The presidential candidate should also treat this election with the same vigor they would have if it was contested.

Alabama leadership makes a mockery of state, its legal system

he state of Massachusetts did the unthinkable in 2003. Almost without skipping a beat, the state legalized same-sex marriage and life went on. Now, 36 other states, the District of Columbia and many Native American tribes have legalized same-sex marriage. One of those states, however, hasn’t dealt with the new law so amicably. On Feb. 9, a federal judge declared Alabama’s state ban on same-sex marriage unconstitutional. Immediately following the decision, the state requested a stay on the ruling; both the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals and the U.S. Supreme Court denied the request. As counties across the state began to issue marriage licenses to samesex couples, the state government reacted in true Alabama fashion.

THE LIBERAL’S LIFE

Supreme Court Justice Roy Moore issued a decree that judges across the state were not to follow the orders of the federal court system. In an attempt to rewrite his own rules, Moore, sadly, only made a fool of himself and the state he was elected to serve. After Moore’s announcement, mass hysteria ensued in Alabama. Moore issued a six page letter to state judges stating, “... a federal judge’s decision striking down the state’s ban on same-sex marriage is not binding on state courts.” From this, Moore ordered all probate judges in the state to withhold marriage licenses from same-sex couples. Asst. News Editor Justin Mattingly Asst. News Editor Sara Swann Asst. News Editor Lydia Wilson Asst. Feature Editor Jacob Gedetsis Asst. Feature Editor Kait Hobson Asst. Sports Editor Sam Blum Asst.

Copy Editor Jake Cappuccino Asst. Copy Editor Alex Erdekian Asst. Copy Editor Connor Grossman Asst. Copy Editor Danny Mantooth Asst. Copy Editor Paul Schwedelson Asst. Copy Editor Georgie Silvarole

In the few days following the decision, 51 of the state’s 67 counties ignored Moore’s decree and began issuing licenses to same-sex couples. However, some counties followed the orders and only distributed licenses to heterosexual couples while some stopped issuing licenses altogether. Suddenly, probate judges in the state began receiving word that if they were to continue issuing licenses to same-sex couples, their jobs could be in serious jeopardy. As it has done many times in the past, the state of Alabama decided not to participate in the United States legal system. So far, no judges have been fired, but many counties are still unsure of the state’s future regarding samesex marriage. Moore’s actions quickly started backlash. Human rights organiza-

tions called for his head, threats against his life increased and a serious ethics investigation began probing his office for answers. He is now being accused of improperly using his office to fight off same-sex marriage in the state. After these actions, it almost seems fitting to compare Moore to infamous Alabama Gov. George Wallace in 1963. Wallace stood in the doorway of the University of Alabama, blocking the entrance of two black students, proclaiming, “segregation now, segregation tomorrow, segregation forever!” This came after the federal government demanded immediate integration of public universities across the country. In both cases, the higher-ups in Alabama made a mockery of their state by proclaiming themselves to be above federal government orders.

Now, regardless of any states’ rights debate, this is much more than just federal government intrusion. We are talking about human rights here — those things that we are supposed to inherit upon birth. Unfortunately, we live in a world where people like Moore find it necessary to belittle the soul of a human being simply because of some ignorant social stigma that doesn’t affect them. In a completely objective attack, Moore has made a fool of himself, the state of Alabama and our justice system in general, and that is something he needs to be taken down a few pegs for.

does and how they can get involved. For example, when SA members table in Schine Student Center to recruit new representatives, they often find themselves explaining that SA is a student government organization, said Jack Harding, vice chair of the Administrative Operations Committee. Numerous assembly representatives raised their hands to share their opinions during the discussion period of the reconsideration of the proposed name change. A major focus of the discussion was on whether or not SA does in fact govern. SA has been viewed as an advocacy group since it switched from SGA to SA in 2000. Evan Ronen, who as speaker of the assembly does not vote on bills, said he supported the name change because he thinks it is important that students understand what SA does, but he disagrees with the idea that SA governs. “Even though we might not be able to enact policy directly, we hear what students are saying and then advocate to the administration for them,” Ronen said in an interview. “Us passing a bill that calls for action will make administrators have conversations because now they realize that students are concerned about this.” Parliamentarian Stephen Thomas said during the discussion on Monday that SA still does govern students to an extent, giving the example of the organization’s finance board. Thomas also discussed the Federalization Bill, which the Ad Op Committee hopes will aid SA in the transformation from a group that primarily advocates for students to a group that also governs. The bill will create governments within the individual SU colleges so students will be able

to communicate issues with their schools, like problems with classrooms, directly to these governments, Thomas said. The establishment of these smaller governments will allow the organization to focus on governing issues that affect many students on campus, Thomas said. Gresely said Monday that he spoke with a number of alumni who mentioned the fact that SA has a legacy, and that the organization’s role has been one of lobbying and not necessarily of governing. Jonathan Matthew Taylor, who is currently the co-chair of the SA-SGA Alumni Organization, said he questioned the validity of the name change. In a letter to SA President Boris Gresely obtained by The Daily Orange, Taylor wrote, “Unlike a government that — well — governs, SA is based on a member organization, which promotes itself as a defender and representative of students — like a labor union but with all students as members.” “It really is our duty to publicize exactly what we are working on regardless of our name and be honest and acknowledge the fact that we do not govern but instead lobby for student interests,” Gresely said. Harding, vice chair of the Ad Op Committee, said he felt like Gresely’s relaying of the alumni information and history of SA to the assembly really opened a lot of student’s eyes to the reasons the organization has its name in the first place. Harding also said the higher attendance on Monday compared to the previous week probably influenced who spoke out about the name change. Gresely said that SA alumni want to be remembered for the work that they did. Said Gresely: “It was going to be a dishonor if we didn’t necessarily think about the legacy and impact that SA has had under that name.” atorrens@syr.edu wrnorris@syr.edu

PLAN Experts weigh in on FAA’s recently announced drone-use guidelines By Katelyn Faubel staff writer

he Federal Aviation Administration has released its proposal for rules that will govern the use of commercial drones. The proposal, which was announced Sunday Feb. 15, includes regulations such as drones cannot exceed 55 pounds, the user must pass an aeronautics test and the drones must stay in the operator’s line of sight. Experts at Syracuse University said the policy does a good job covering major questions about drone usage, but there are still some gray areas.

GUIDING FLIGHT The Federal Aviation Administration proposes drone regulations, includling:

Drones cannot exceed

1 55 pounds.

The user must pass an

2 aeronautics test.

The drones must stay in

3 the operator’s line of sight. Gina Lee-Glauser, vice president of research at SU, said now that there are regulations for commercial usage of drones, they can be used for a variety of activities including building and bridge inspections, sports viewing and repairing power lines. She said a challenge drones present is that, depending on the experience level of the operator, there may be instances where users will not be able to avoid midair collisions. There are other potential drawbacks

as well, she added. “A negative is privacy. People are worried about it, but I don’t know how much is warranted,” LeeGlauser said. “There is a lot of things (the U.S. government) is interested in, but the government can get that information without drones.” Lee-Glauser said she believes the issues of privacy and specific boundaries need to be addressed in the FAA rules for commercial usage of drones. “There are possibilities of commercial applications that we can’t imagine,” she said. Dan Pacheco, Peter A. Horvitz Endowed Chair in Journalism Innovation, said that as a hobbyist, he has practiced shooting footage with drones. Pacheco occasionally flies drones with the Skyworks Project, an SU student-run drone club, and he has also done noncommercial demonstrations in drone photography and video. Pacheco said the FAA proposed test that will be needed for commercial use certification is a “really good common sense requirement.” The set of FAA proposed regulations provides the opportunity for professors to use drones without having to define themselves as hobbyists, he added. Although Pacheco said he is not too concerned about the issue of privacy because “privacy has already been broken,” he said that there are some instances where sensors could be placed on drones that should be covered by a privacy policy. “The data is so rich that it can tell emotions. For that kind of tech-

nology, that information should be publicly disclosed,” he said. Pacheco said the drone industry could lead to new economic development in the central New York region. He added that it could “open up opportunities for experts and companies” to move into the area, which could provide financial help to central New York. Robert Murrett, deputy director of the Institute for National Security and Counterterrorism, said the two big

issues presented with the commercial use of drones are safety and privacy. “There has been a discussion of individual rights to privacy and how much information the private sector, typically, can collect,” Murrett said. Murrett’s experience with drones while he worked for the U.S. government consisted of using larger drones to collect imagery overseas. He said he was not allowed to collect information in the U.S. unless it was with an agency like the Federal

Emergency Management Agency that used drone imagery to survey damage from natural disasters like Hurricane Katrina. “It makes a lot of sense (that the research SU has done with drones) should continue to grow,” he said. “The U.S. is nothing unique in the drone industry,” Murrett said. “Yes, we are an aviation leader, but around the world, all countries are making progress on drone usage.” kmfaubel@syr.edu

A NOVEL IDEA

Spanish professor publishes book influenced by 1970s local romances By Rob Romano staff writer

hile working at WCNY as a radio personality during the 1970s, Antonio Casale spent three years listening to hundreds of callers, complaints and stories. It was during this time that Casale, now a part-time Syracuse University Spanish professor, met the couple whose relationship

inspired his fourth novel, “Winds of Love,” which was published earlier this month. He said they were separated in their youth only to be married, much like the main characters of his book, Felix and Espera. “Upon that, I have expanded the story hopefully with an artistic imagination,” Casale said. He added that while he can write a book in a few months with the right tranquility and peace of mind, “Winds

of Love” took Casale a year to write and was meant to be published in April 2014. “Winds of Love” begins with a chapter titled “The Missing Section” that’s narrated in the first-person — though not based off factual events — and precedes the love story altogether. In the chapter, the narrator reads a story about a dead female author who had thrown the manuscript of her own story into a fire,

preventing her father from publishing the book after she died. The rest of the novel is meant to fill in those burnt pages. “Winds of Love” centers on two gypsies who travel to Romania and steal two babies from an orphanage. The babies are delivered to Italy, and as the children — Felix and Espera — grow up, they become close friends without the approval of their respective families, Casale said. see casale page 10

where pigs will be raised and sold to create a revenue source for people in the community. The project’s goal is to foster sustainable development, said Joyce LaLonde, the chapter’s international project leader. Roughly 10 students will be sent on the mission for six weeks to the Oyam district of northern Uganda, LaLonde said. In order to raise the money, Nourish is pursuing a variety of fundraising ventures, including a crowdfunding contest through Nourish International titled the Giving Challenge. Participants have until Tuesday to raise money, at which point Nourish International will match 5 percent of the total dollars raised, according to its website. As of Monday evening, the Giving Challenge raised $2,610 of its total goal of $3,350. All the money that’s raised is used to fund the group’s projects, said Haley Kulakowski, leader of SU’s Nourish chapter. These developments are see nourish page 10

casale “They hated each other,” Casale said. “It was just like ‘Romeo and Juliet.’” Nazis take over the small Italian town where the children live, causing Felix to be taken to a concentration camp. Espera, which translates to “hope” in Spanish, is left behind. “I am playing with the nomenclature here as I do all the time,” Casale said.

In the book, Felix works after World War II as a mechanic in Germany and his post-war letters to Espera are destroyed by her mother. Both assume the other is married and fall into their own unsuccessful marriages before being reunited.

Casale said if the Syracuse couple who inspired much of the story read the book, they would know it was about them. “The skeleton belongs to them,” Casale said. “They can recognize themselves.” Casale also said he is not sure where the Syracuse couple is today and does not plan on reaching out to them. “The reality would be too disruptive, traumatic for them,” he said. “I refuse to get them involved.” A natural desire drew him to writing from his 12-year career in radio and his 10-year tenure in television, Casale said. “I had this internal impulse to write,” Casale said. “Italians have art in their DNA.” The creativity Casale displays in the novel hardly surprises Anna Distefano, an Italian language instructor at SU who has lived in the surrounding area since the 1970s after moving from Sicily. Casale has substituted for her Italian classes before, and in everyday conversation, she said, he shows his ingenuity. “He is very pensive and has a way with words,” she said. rromano@syr.edu

nourish expected to cost a total of approximately $6,600–7,000, about half of which will go to the piggery, said Eliza Kinnealey, senior international relations major and Nourish’s head of fundraising ventures.

HELPING HANDS Interns with SU’s chapter of Nourish International will be going to Uganda from late May to early July. The group will be working on a variety of projects:

• Workshops for women’s groups • Educational programs in primary schools • A piggery to bring revenue into local communities sible for funding themselves to go to Uganda,” said Kulakowski, who is a junior international relations and policy studies dual major. From late May to early July, the groups will implement a series of projects intended to benefit the struggling communities in Oyam, LaLonde said. Interns will go to primary schools in order to help run educational programs teaching children about proper health and sanitation. The programs will incorporate music, poetry and various interactive learning techniques that will include a debate of health policies

between the schoolchildren. LaLonde also said she and 14 other SU students went to Uganda to work for Nourish last summer. The chapter carried out its first operation in Uganda in the summer of 2014, as the organization had only begun to form at SU during the fall semester of 2013. “Nourish has had a huge impact on me and the way I live my life,” said LaLonde, who is a sophomore public relations and policy studies dual major. “It’s very rewarding work.” Last year, the SU student interns worked with the Global Health Network to run workshops for eight different primary schools on sanitary practices and hold workshops for adults on maternal health and financial literacy. “The kids are so impressive because they really do know English and work really hard,” LaLonde recalled of her experiences with the primary schools last summer. “It’s really cool to see this next generation be so inquisitive.” The chapter is also intending to run workshops for women’s groups, with the eventual goal of setting up a business to make and sell sanitary pads for women, another attempt to set up revenue sources for the communities. “I like this particular organization because Nourish partners with organizations in the communities,” said Kelsey Modica, a senior international relations and French dual major who will be working as a Nourish intern in Uganda this summer. “We’re working to do what the community needs to be sustainable, not just going in there and saying, ‘This is what we’re going to do.’” tjbeckle@syr.edu

Sophomore artist ose. overcomes shyness to perform live, grows musically from 1st hip-hop album “Upstate” By Isha Damle staff writer

OSAMEDE OGBEIDE, whose stage name is ose., performs at the OMG Showcase last Friday. He will release his first album in March. moriah ratner contributing photographer

•

ise men stay calm. That’s Osamede Ogbeide’s mantra for 2015, one he coined himself. Ogbeide, an undeclared sophomore in the College of Arts and Sciences on the pre-med track, goes by the stage name ose. ose. is a shortened form of Ogbeide’s first name. He intentionally made its letters lowercase because it “signifies humility” and said it is representative of his music. “My music is very authentic. This album is like a memoir,” Ogbeide said. “Everything is like a first-hand account of things that have happened to me — it’s all very real. My album is like creative non-fiction from a literary standpoint. That kind of reflects on my artist name, ose. — it’s short and easy, but it’s still real.” ose. has produced beats for several years but has been rapping for only a year. His first album, “Upstate,” is set to release on March 10. His first single, “Transparent,” was released Feb. 22. ose. began writing content for “Upstate” last March, before he knew he was writing with the intent of making an album. ose., who is from California, wrote the bulk of the album last summer. Last semester, ose. began recording “Upstate” with the help of senior music industry major Jon Kane, who helped coproduce the album. Kane is also ose.’s manager, and said that part of what makes ose. a unique performer is that he blends rapping in his verses with soulful melodic hooks. “He has a bigger vision than just the recording itself,” Kane said. “He wants it to be a full-on artistic endeavor rather than just an album he’s making. This is his life, his music is his life, and basically he wants to be a full-on artist in every sense of the word, which I think is really admirable.” ose. had originally recorded demos at his home in California, but remastered and recorded them on campus. Kane and ose. have recorded at several studios around campus. ose. described “Upstate” as a hip-hop album with “a melting pot of a lot of different sounds.” The album incorporates African drums as well as rock and indie influences. ose. brought in Will Taggart, a sophomore in the Bandier Program for Music and the Entertainment Industries, to provide guitar for two songs on the album. “He’s a really cool guy to work with. He has a

very clear idea of what he’s trying to go for most of the time,” Taggart said. Taggart added that working with ose. was a unique experience because of his artistic style. “He has an undeniable flow. That is just the bottom line — he has a really interesting way of phrasing words and his rhymes don’t sound forced,” Taggart said. “They’re always really natural and his beat productions are really interesting. He uses samples very wisely.” ose. recently performed at Syracuse University Recordings’ OMG Showcase on Feb. 20 in Schine. He said he will be performing at Cornell University in March and at parties on campus this spring.

This music was a way for me to see who I really was and a way for me to show people my intelligence. ose. musician

A self-described shy person, ose. said a lot of his inspiration comes from observing other people. “I don’t really like talking a lot. Coming up, I was very quiet, I was very shy,” ose. said. “I’ve never really been able to represent myself the way I wanted to be represented because I was too shy to speak. This music was a way for me to see who I really was and a way for me to show people my intelligence.” Because he is shy, ose. said performing can be nerve-racking but that he becomes a “different person” on stage. “It’s a very freeing experience because it’s just about that moment, seeing the crowd respond directly to what you’re doing,” ose. said. “I don’t get shy once I’m on stage — once I’m up there it’s game time.” ose.’s music is available on SoundCloud, and fans can connect with him on his Facebook, Twitter and Instagram pages. As an artist, ose. said his experience recording “Upstate” allowed him to grow, but added that he doesn’t want to limit himself by labeling his music. Said ose.: “I don’t want to limit it to the box of calling me strictly a rapper or a producer. I think my creativity stretches beyond those boundaries.” idamle@syr.edu

Wardwell solidifies starting goalkeeper spot for Orange By Connor Grossman asst. copy editor

After a season of splitting much of his time in goal last season with senior Dominic Lamolinara, Bobby Wardwell has spent nearly every minute of the 2015 season in front of the net. Wardwell’s biggest opposition for time in the crease was Warren Hill, a junior transfer from Onondaga Community College, but Hill only saw 23 minutes in No. 3 Syracuse’s (3-0) 21-7 blowout victory over Siena in the season-opener. Since then, Wardwell has played 116:53 of the last 120 minutes of game action. The 6-foot senior goalie allowed nine goals on 11

I think Bob’s in complete control of the defense and (he’s) playing very well. I think he played well last year and we were always getting a very solid performance out of him. John Desko su head coach

saves against No. 14 Army on Sunday night, and has 26 saves on the season. With his team’s first 3-0 start in four years, head coach John Desko doesn’t see a reason not to stick with the hot hand. “I think Bob’s in complete control of the defense and (he’s) playing very well,” Desko said. “I think he played well last year and we were always getting a very solid performance out of him.” He’s got a 57.8 save percentage to boast through three games — compared to 51.3 per-

cent last season — and proven himself capable of limiting the damage against offenses with multiple big scoring threats. Wardwell’s biggest nemesis on the Black Knights was attack John Glesener, who was able to convert on four of his 11 shots. Wardwell said he tried to prepare for Glesener by taking lots of shots during practice from bigger outside shooters. Before Glesener’s four-goal performance, Wardwell hadn’t allowed more than three goals to any player this year. Thanks to Ben Williams’ 21-for-25 outing at the X for SU, Wardwell and the defense was given ample time to get a read on what Army’s offense was bringing at them. “I think our offense is doing a great job in keeping possession and getting a lot of goals,” Wardwell said. “That just kind of makes it easier to relax on defense knowing they’re going to be able to put the ball in the back of the net.” With SU clinging to a two-goal lead midway through the fourth quarter, the SU keeper sprinted to catch up to an errant pass that would’ve been rewarded to Army had it gone out of bounds. With the attack closing in on him in the corner, Wardwell was able to shovel the ball off to defender Sean Young to help clear it. Syracuse will face some of the country’s best offenses, and it appears that the senior will be solely tasked as the last line of defense. Despite Desko hinting before the season he might use multiple goalies, Wardwell’s play has overshadowed that thought. “Very few goals going in that shouldn’t go in,” Desko said. “And now we’re starting to get some stops on shots that should go in, I think you saw that last week and tonight. “He’s been very confident in leading the defense and we feel very good about that.”

peterson highly contested coming into the season, and has become one of the best in the conference. “It’s just about her adjusting to women’s basketball at this level,” SU head coach Quentin Hillsman said. “I never really had a doubt that she would break out and have this kind of year with the minutes increase. She’s doing a tremendous job. Obviously, we understand what she means to our team.” For Peterson, there was an adjustment from being a 2,100-point Northland (Ohio) High School star to a Division I reserve. It was an adjustment mentally, not being the top player anymore, and physically, dealing with the fatigue of a day-to-day schedule that revolves around basketball. Hillsman said last season that Peterson was the most hyped and talked about player he’d ever seen proportional to the 12.3 minutes per game that she played. But Peterson said it was hard for her to see what other people saw in herself. When she got home in the summer, she worked on her balance, shot and ball-handling. She developed her explosiveness and ability to change up speeds. She improved her ability to attack and finish with contact.

“I trained harder than ever,” Peterson said. “I stayed in the gym; I lived in the gym.” Peterson said one of the reasons Syracuse was a draw for her was an opportunity to continue the style of play that she thrived in. Peterson has been prominent this season at the top of Syracuse’s zone and its full-court press. There has been only one game this season where she hasn’t recorded a steal. In Syracuse’s 73-62 win over Wake Forest on Jan. 15, she scored a career-high 32 points. After floating in an and-one with 59 seconds left, she fell to the ground and shouted while pounding her palms on the court. Off the court, her personality doesn’t match. She’s quiet, soft-spoken and speaks in basketball clichés. Regardless, she’s developed into a guard that Hillsman says is up there with the best. “She’s just very aggressive and knows she’s a very capable scorer,” SU forward Taylor Ford said. “… I think that helps her, being so aggressive.” Last season, Hillsman said he didn’t dictate who got playing time. Performance dictated playing time. And as a result, Peterson was behind Rachel Coffey and Cornelia Fondren. When she entered this season, there was still Fondren — in addition to players like Maggie Morrison, Dia-

stretch, the Cavaliers built a 4-1 lead. The game stopped with a media timeout and the SU head coach brought his whiteboard into the huddle. Instead of drawing up a play, he just rapped the whiteboard against his leg as he talked to the offense. “You just tell them to play the game,” Gait said. “We were doing a little bit of standing and watching and not really driving hard to the net

mond Henderson and Danielle Minott to compete for minutes with. This year, teams are game-planning for her, Hillsman said, noting the different pickand-roll coverages. This year, she’s scored at least 10 points in all but five of the Orange’s games. This year, she’s the one who’s dictating

playing time. “Honestly, coming in, I didn’t expect to have this role,” Peterson said. “I can just say I’m blessed and very fortunate and very grateful for how this season has turned thus far. I just want to continue to build on it.”

and making things happen, but just kind of floating out there on the offensive end of the field.” Three minutes after the timeout, Treanor assisted on a Riley Donahue goal and scored two herself. On Treanor’s second goal, she faked the defender by exaggerating a cradle and cut under the defender. The fake gave her clear lane to the net and she buried the shot, giving SU a 5-4 lead. The goal, which sent SU’s sideline into a frenzy as players jumped around and gave the Orange its first lead of the opening half, prompted Myers to call a timeout. SU players ran to the timeout, in stark contrast to a walk to the sideline when the game was 4-1. “I think a few times we threw too many defenders at her,” Myers said about Treanor, “… We were convinced she was going (to the net) and we kind of threw the kitchen sink at her and … that ended up into feed options for her.”

The second half mirrored the first, as it took until Treanor’s injury for her to get started again. Treanor scored all of three of SU’s goals in a 3-minute stretch. She cut underneath her defender on the second goal during the stretch to make the game 12-10. On the third, she and Halle Majorana used a version of the hidden-ball trick to give the hosts a 13-11 lead. “We mess around,” Treanor said of the hidden-ball trick, “so we just tried a different look.” Treanor nearly scored another goal during the stretch as she faked her defender, garnering a buzz from the crowd. A save pushed it wide, but the miss ended up being inconsequential as it was largely because of Treanor that Syracuse stayed undefeated. “Kayla Treanor’s a special player,” Myers said, “most teams don’t have a Kayla Treanor.”

dropped 33 points with 9-of-12 3-point shooting against the Fighting Irish in a 61-55 SU Orange win on Feb. 3 of last year. He faded down the stretch of Syracuse’s late-season collapse last year and has been played even more in this campaign. He’s played 97.5 percent of Syracuse minutes in ACC play and 93 percent of the Orange’s minutes on the season, according to KenPom.com as of Monday afternoon. The latter figure ties him for 10th in the country in percentage of minutes played. He has played a higher percentage of his team’s minutes than any other player in the ACC. Boston College’s Olivier Hanlan is next with 92.6 percent of minutes played for the Eagles. Duke’s Quinn Cook has played in 88.8 percent of the Blue Devils’ minutes, according to KenPom.com. SU players said their roles don’t change with Cooney off the floor. But the game does get harder in that all the other players on a team with an already thin bench have to increase their production. Said senior forward Rakeem Christmas: “When Trev’s out of the game, we all got to step it up.”

cooney out for Ron Patterson with 2:24 to play. Cooney didn’t shoot in that span and finished the game 0-for-5 from the field and 0-for-4 from 3. He is now 12-of-52 from the field in the Orange’s last five games and 8-of-38 from beyond the arc in that same span. Cooney said his back hurt and that it did affect his lateral movement, but it didn’t affect his shot in the first half. “It loosened up a little bit today,” Cooney said on Saturday, “just got to keep working on it and getting ready for Tuesday.” Cooney practiced on Sunday, Boeheim said, and the head coach said he couldn’t see why the guard wouldn’t practice again later that day. And while Syracuse coped with a combined 20 points from B.J. Johnson and Ron Patterson on Saturday, Cooney will be especially needed against UND. The arc may provide SU’s best chance of victory. Notre Dame allows opponents to shoot an average of 34.8 percent from 3. Cooney has burnt Notre Dame before. He

lexis Peterson had hit the game-winning shot. But it wasn’t for her team. With the game tied 10-10, Peterson — then a third-grader — could only hear the crowd yelling for her to shoot the ball. So she did. And then she celebrated. But that was before she realized that her shot, in the wrong hoop, had given her opponents a win. She was crushed. Her family, teammates and

teammates’ parents all consoled her. They told her that they could understand why she was confused. But to Peterson, it didn’t matter. “At that moment, I knew that I hated losing,” Peterson said. “I knew that I would be that type of player for the rest of my life. That I would do whatever it took to win, because I hated the feeling of losing.” Now a sophomore point guard for Syracuse, she’s taken charge of a program that is only just beginning to taste the benefits of consistent winning.

Treanor carries SU past UVA with 5 goals, 2 assists By Chris Libonati staff writer

A hard collision sent Kayla Treanor reeling to the ground just less than halfway through the second half. She screamed, writhing on the turf, her leg in virginia 13 hand. syracuse 14 Some fans yelled “Horrible,” and “That’s

hard, ref,” but the crowd mostly fell silent. A pin could have dropped and the sound would have filled the Carrier Dome air. Trainers, field players and head coach Gary Gait jogged out to Treanor. Despite Treanor limping off, time on the sideline and a Katie Webster pat on the back sent her back into the game after Virginia and Syracuse traded goals.

With the teams knotted at 10, Treanor charged the net and fell to the turf as she snuck a shot by UVA goalie Rachel Vander Kolk to give SU an 11-10 lead. The bench erupted, celebrating a lead that Syracuse wouldn’t give up. Treanor scored five goals and assisted on two others, carrying the No. 2 Orange (4-0) to a 14-13 win over the No. 9 Cavaliers (1-2) in the Carrier

Dome on Monday night in front of 481 fans. She tallied six of her seven points in two spurts that totaled less than four minutes of game time and broke UVA’s momentum. “(Treanor) looks to draw and she looks to go and she looks to just pick you apart,” UVA head coach Julie Myers said, “and she plays a game of chess and she plays a game of chess see virginia page 14
