Syracuse blows last shot to secure key road win in crushing 88-68 loss

By Connor Grossman senior staff writer

L

OUISVILLE, Ky. — The opportunity existed for Syracuse to change the narrative.

After pulling off its latest Carrier Dome magic trick, a banked 3-pointer at the buzzer to beat No. 10 Duke, SU hit the road with as much momentum it’s had since winning five in a row almost three weeks ago.

The season-long road struggles seemed like a distant memory, and a win in the arena of the country’s seventh-ranked team would likely seize an NCAA Tournament bid. This time was going to be different, until it wasn’t.

Tyler Lydon committed a shot-clock violation on Syracuse’s first possession. Twenty-one 3-pointers went awry. Louisville led by double figures the entire second half. Sunday’s game ended the same way seven other road games

have this season, but this one had more of a lasting touch to it: SU’s 20-point loss was its largest conference loss since joining the Atlantic Coast Conference three seasons ago.

“Yeah of course it’s (frustrating),” freshman Taurean Thompson said. “We wanted to come in and beat them in their house, but we didn’t.

We just have to deal with it.”

Demolition of Chuck’s could alter Syracuse bar scene

By Sam Ogozalek asst. news editor

Some bar managers in the Marshall Street area are making plans to attract more customers to their businesses with the pending demolition of Hungry Chuck’s and the Orange Crate Brewing Company.

Hill bar managers also have different ideas of how the demolition could impact the overall bar scene in Syracuse, saying some Chuck’s and Orange Crate regulars may go to different “watering holes” near campus, while others might head downtown to explore bars in the Armory Square area.

Chuck’s and the Orange Crate —

which is known among students as Lucy’s — are part of a string of businesses facing demolition, after the city approved a proposal from real estate developer BLVD Equities to construct a “multi-use” building at 721-23 and 727 South Crouse Avenue.

BLVD Equities listed March 1 as the “approximate” start date for construction at the properties, according to paperwork filed with the city. But neither Chuck’s nor Orange Crate have announced official closing dates.

Marc Lipsy, the current bar manager of Faegan’s Cafe & Pub — which has been operating for nearly 40 years on the Hill — said his bar will look to take advantage of the

demolition and might offer a new late night menu in the future, similar to what Chuck’s currently has.

Drew Paisley, a manager and bartender at Harry’s Bar — which has been operating for nearly 30 years at the intersection of South Crouse Avenue and East Adams Street — said while his bar won’t

be making any changes like Faegan’s, Harry’s is planning to fill the “party scene” niche on the Hill that could soon be left unoccupied.

Anthony Caporizzo the general manager of DJ’s on the Hill, meanwhile, said his bar at 161 Marshall St. will “just keep going … as usual.”

“We’re basically just going to keep providing the bar that we’ve been providing,” he said. DJ’s on the Hill has been operating for about seven years.

David Heymann, the general manager of the Sheraton Syracuse University Hotel and Conference Center, said Sitrus on the Hill — the hotel’s bar — has an older demographic of clientele com-

pared to the regulars at Chuck’s and Orange Crate.

“We’re not really a student drinking facility,” said Heymann, who’s been general manager at the Sheraton for 18 years. “So in some regards … (the demolition) doesn’t affect the company in any way.”

While Lipsy said bars on the Hill — including Faegan’s, which is located at 734 S. Crouse Ave. — will see an initial increase in student customers after the demolition, he said he also believes many former Chuck’s and Lucy’s regulars will head downtown to the Armory Square area for drinking.

Lipsy said he thinks it’s safer for see bar

Senior comes full circle at Duke vs. SU game

a.m.

noon hi 51° lo 34°

By Caroline Schagrin staff writer

More than 30,000 people packed the Carrier Dome Wednesday for the Duke University vs. Syracuse University basketball game.

Among those 30,000 was Katelyn Caza — one of the first students in line to secure front row seats.

“Every time I turned around to look back up at the student section, the sea of orange just kept getting bigger and bigger,” Caza, a senior chemical engineering major, said in an email.

Caza and three of her friends had been camping out in front the dome for three days leading up to the game. Wearing a simple lightweight windbreaker jacket, Caza was thankful Syracuse’s unpredictable 50-degree weather made her nights huddled in a tent more enjoyable.

Caza is no rookie — she has camped out both her freshman and sophomore years for the Duke game.

She said the energy the Carrier Dome creates during these games is what makes camping out worthwhile.

“There was so much noise and excitement in every corner of the dome. It’s hard to put in words how it felt being surround by over 30,000 Syracuse fans yelling and screaming as loud as they could,” Caza said in an email.

Living just 45 minutes north of Syracuse, Caza’s basement is painted with SU’s signature blue and orange colors and is filled with memorabilia.

Caza may “bleed” orange more than other students. Although any student sitting in the student sec-

“I help schedule general body meetings and organize events like our Otto’s Army flag football tournament that raised money for the Jim and Juli Boeheim Foundation as well as work with the Schine Box Office to distribute tickets to students for away football and basket-

ball games,” Caza said in an email.

Caza said the executive board is currently trying to plan a threeon-three basketball tournament in time for March Madness.

Caza organized the entire camping out process for the Duke game by making sure the students who had chosen to spend three nights in tents in preparation for the game were given an exact number in the line.

“It got a lot more hectic as more

and more groups wanted to be put on the list,” she said in an email.

Caza described the sweet feeling she had after watching SU play Duke while sitting in the student section and could not have asked for a better ending.

“This game was one for the books,” Caza said in an email, “and will definitely be remembered for a long time.” caschagr@syr.edu

Mental health report recommends changes

By William Muoio staff writer

Syracuse University students seeking mental health support from the counseling center have fewer counselors available than at other peer institutions, according to a report developed by a Student Association committee investigating the state of mental health on campus.

SU has a 1:1,282 counselor to student ratio, according to the report, which gives a suggested ratio of one counselor for every 1,000 students. In comparison, Cornell University has one coun-

selor for every 830 students and Georgetown University has one counselor for every 1,086 students, according to the Mental Health Action Committee’s report.

The committee used different resources to gather information for their report, comparing national findings from the Center of Collegiate Mental Health with findings from SU. The committee also used the data from the SU Counseling Center and from the university’s climate assessment survey, which was open to students from Feb. 9 to March 28, 2016.

The committee aims to develop a campus-wide strategy to address

mental health concerns.

studies major and one of eight students in the group, said the committee sought perspectives

from both SA and non-SA students for the report. The committee’s three major goals, he said, were to give “an accurate and comprehensive portrait of mental health resources on campus,” clear up misinformation surrounding mental health on campus and develop feasible and impactful policy recommendations that SA can help implement.

A key finding from the report was that mental health issues were among the top factors for undergraduate students wanting to leave SU, with 68.6 percent of the students who answered the

Data on alcohol-related ER trips unavailable

By Hannah Malach staff writer

Almost a year after a report to the Syracuse University Senate revealed that ambulances were taking several students per week to the emergency room because of alcohol problems, concrete data on the number of students who are hospitalized for intoxication is still unavailable.

Last March, Pamela Peter, the director of the Office of Student Rights and Responsibilities, reported to the University Senate’s student life committee that ambulances were taking about a dozen students a week to the emergency room for being dan-

gerously drunk.

Additionally, the committee in October released a report based on the March briefing.

“The number of students that were transported to the hospital because of alcohol intoxication ranged somewhere in the high 200s, with an average of 10-12 transports weekly,” the report from the Committee on Student Life stated. “With over 2 months left of classes, this number approached the total number of transports that were reported in the full 2014-2015 academic year.”

Despite the report being released, specific and current numbers on just how many students have been hospitalized

for being intoxicated are still unavailable, Peter said.

Peter told The Daily Orange in April of last year she thought dangerous drinking was on the rise at SU. “The earlier reports were just numbers,” Peter said in a recent interview. “They didn’t say anything. I’m putting together information that will say something and explain what those numbers mean and what we’re seeing with student behavior, how student behavior is or is not changing.”

John Sardino, associate chief of SU’s Department of Public Safety, recently said over-intoxication is indeed a serious issue on campus. He said 10 to 12 ambu-

lance trips a week for over-intoxication undersells the problem, particularly at the beginning and end of a semester.

“It’s pretty scary when I look at the reports … and see that we’ve had 12, 14, 15 students transported to the hospital over a two-day period because of alcohol poisoning,” Sardino said.

The student life committee report stated that several students taken to the hospital last year had more than 0.3 percent in blood alcohol level, including one student who had a blood alcohol content of 0.37 percent.

BAC levels above 0.3 percent are life-threatening, according to

see alcohol page 4

While some higher education administrators view college as “the great equalizer,” a new study suggests that’s not necessarily the case.

The study was recently published in the journal Social Forces and was written by professor Paul Attewell and doctoral candidate Dirk Witteveen at the Graduate Center of the City University of New York.

The study indicates a correlation between students’ family incomes and their post-graduation incomes.

According to the study, students from wealthier families earn more after graduation than students who come from lower-income families.

Attewell and Witteveen utilized data from the Baccalaureate and Beyond Longitudinal Study of 1993, which collected data about the futures of people who graduated with bachelor’s degrees that year. Using the 1993 graduates’ incomes earned 10 years after graduation — and controlling for college, major and academic performance — the pair found that the base salary was $57,000 per year. see income page 8

‘Moonlight’ win shows industry is willing to embrace black, queer stories

I

n a country that seems obsessed with the past, the Academy showed Sunday that it was ready to embrace the future.

The Oscars have always been about more than movies.

Cinema shapes culture and films have been credited for sparking national discussion about social issues. As a result, the annual ritual of the Academy Awards wields massive cultural power.

The Oscars determine not only the films that audiences see, but also the films they see as important.

So, when “Moonlight,” with its queer, black protagonist, toppled the industry favorite, “La La Land,” to take Best Picture, it wasn’t simply a victory for diversity in film. It was a victory for everyone who has, historically, been poorly represented by Hollywood.

It makes sense in a political climate so deeply divided that the two frontrunners for this year’s award were so polarizing. “La La Land’s” romanticization of the past stood in direct opposition to “Moonlight’s” revolutionary depiction of nontraditional subjects.

“I think, despite ‘La La Land’ being touted as innovative, ‘Moonlight’ is much more innovative and challenges audiences,” said Craig Thornton, an

IT’S NOT EASY BEING SEEN

There will be some people who never really care to see stories outside their comfort zone or life experience, but it is important to show them.

Craig Thornton adjunct professor of television, radio and film at syracuse university

“Moonlight” centers on an experience so rarely seen in cinema: that of a queer, black man from an impoverished community.

It explores complex ideas about homophobia, masculinity and

drug addiction through the eyes of its black characters. Rather than examine its characters from the outside, the film forces its audience to empathize with its protagonist’s experiences.

If the purpose of art is to reflect society, the filmmaking industry usually fails all but its straight, white members.

By awarding “Moonlight” Best Picture, the Academy emphasizes the importance of movies that challenge traditional notions of who deserves to appear on film considering the characters we see portrayed in film deter mine who society considers valuable.

“Moonlight” is so spectacular because it reimagines what filmmaking could look like in the future. This stands in stark contrast to the nostalgia of “La La Land” for a cinema of the past.

In fact, much of the “La La Land” appeal is that it’s a tribute to the Golden Age of Hollywood, an era responsible for classic American musicals. It was also an era of cinema in which people of color weren’t prevalent or, worse yet, caricatured portrayals by white actors in racebending makeup. Plotlines were constrained to rigid standards, meaning that the only stories that

editorial board

were considered acceptable to tell were about straight, white, usuallymale protagonists.

For better or worse, “La La Land” embraces these Old Hollywood conventions. It faithfully captures the visual style and charm of the era’s musicals. But it also, true to form, centers on two straight, white protagonists. Even though “La La Land” is set in modern-day, diverse Los Angeles, the majority of people of color on-screen appear only as nameless extras dancing in the background. They exist only to build a world for the film’s white main characters to live in.

“There will be some people who never really care to see stories outside their comfort zone or life experience, but it is important to show them,” Thornton said in an interview before the ceremony.

“If (“Moonlight”) were to win, the audience that would meet this challenge would be greater.”

When someone’s experiences — their hopes, desires, pain and triumphs

— are authentically represented, they’re humanized to audiences. In a culture that continually dehumanizes queer people of color, the importance of “Moonlight,” and urgency, cannot be overstated.

The Best Picture win for “Moonlight” means more than merely rewarding a great film. It means challenging established ideas within the film industry about who deserves to be represented and who doesn’t. It means questioning Hollywood standards that cast queer people of color as “others.”

By awarding “Moonlight” the night’s highest honor, the Academy dramatically changes what an Academy Award-winning film can look like. While it doesn’t mean that Hollywood’s representation problem has magically been solved, it does open the door for other diverse stories to be told.

The “Moonlight” victory should encourage the filmmakers to accept the future. And hopefully the “La La Land” loss will reassure them it’s okay to leave the past behind.

Report is step in improving mental health The Student Association’s efforts to properly address mental health on Syracuse University’s campus are admirable, especially considering the mental health of students is a topic student governments are very equipped to address.

An SA committee is currently crafting a report about campus mental health to send to SU administrators, officials and student groups on campus.

Through the report, the Mental Health Action Committee aims to present accurate and comprehensive information about mental health resources on SU’s campus, clarify misinformation surrounding these resources and develop “feasible and impactful” policy recommendations that SA could help the committee, said Nate Birnbaum, a senior policy studies major and one of the eight students in the Mental Health Action Committee.

Because mental health is a student-centered issue, the information and recommendations presented in SA’s mental health report hold a lot of weight. While it is

ultimately up to the university to decide whether more money and resources should be allocated to the Counseling Center, this report should be strongly considered by the SU administration.

what is sa?

The Student Association is the student government of the university. SA is currently in its 60th session and Eric Evangelista is president. Outside of the cabinet, there are four committees and four boards, which report to the association.

Mental health was one of the main components of SA President Eric Evangelista and Vice President Joyce LaLonde’s campaign in the spring 2016 semester. Their SA session hosted the university’s first Mental Health Awareness Week in the fall 2016 semester, but since then, mental health has not been as prevalent.

It’s refreshing to see Evangelista and LaLonde address an issue they campaigned so heavily on.

Considering the amount of effort put into the report, it’s important that the assessment is sent to SU administrators sooner than later.

The semester is almost halfway over, and if the report is sent during the next SA session, it may be lost underneath the high turnover of cabinet and assembly members.

1 to 1,282

The ratio of counselors to students at Syracuse University, according to SA’s mental health report. The report gives a suggested ratio of one counselor for every 1,000 students.

But regardless of the timetable for the report, it’s impressive and equal parts encouraging to see SA putting work into an issue that is important to the student body.

Mental health is one of the most significant topics facing college campuses today, and SA has the power to truly make a difference in the lives of students through the information and recommendations listed in this report.

SUNY-ESF adjunct professor receives state funding to monitor wetlands

By Kyle Smith

A

faculty member at SUNY-ESF was recently awarded more than $100,000 by the U.S. Department of State to conduct monitoring of the lower St. Lawrence River wetlands and Lake Ontario.

Timothy Howard, adjunct professor at the State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry, will be studying the impacts of the passage of a landmark water regulation plan called Plan 2014. The plan was passed by the International Joint Commission, a United States-Canadian venture tasked with regulating shared water uses between the two countries, in December 2016.

The new set of regulations was created in response to the deterioration of approximately 63,000 acres of wetland in the St. Lawrence River valley, according to a report from the Environmental Protection Agency. Experts say the wetlands are increasingly threatened by both invasive species, as well as the effects of climate change. The plan calls for more variability in water levels at both Lake Ontario and the St. Lawrence River.

Plan 2014 was adopted after nearly $20 million was spent on studies of the plan, according to Syracuse.com.

Howard is now leading the effort to gauge the impacts Plan 2014 could have on wetland ecosystem health. Wetlands serve critical ecosystem functions, he said.

Howard said his monitoring of the plan’s impacts will be conducted using a series of photographs taken from an airplane, mapping and measuring the size of different vegetation types at 16 randomly selected sampling sites.

In addition, Howard said his team will also be conducting field sampling to understand different vegetation types at varying elevations.

“The plants and animals that depend on these wetlands

are also a resource for hunting and fishing, and wildlife and natural resources,” Howard said. “A plan that would improve the wetlands is a benefit for the natural resources and the natural resources’ community.”

Frank Bevacqua, a spokesman for the United States section of the International Joint Commission, said Plan 2014 will help the commission prepare for the future.

“The new plan and the adaptive management approach will help us prepare for the future,” Bevacqua said.

Homeowners of lake and river front properties in the region, however, have vehemently opposed Plan 2014’s measures. They claimed that the measures bring down property value in the area.

In response, Doug Wilcox, a professor of wetland ecology at SUNY Brockport and a SUNY-ESF and Syracuse University alumnus, said creating erosion outweighs the need for restoring Lake Ontario’s coastal ecosystems.

Several environmentalist and sportsmen’s groups, such as Nature Conservancy, New York Audubon, the New York State Conservation Council and Ducks Unlimited — have endorsed Plan 2014, according to Syracuse.com.

The change in regulation plans did not come easily, as decades of research was needed to establish and convince officials that the old regulations were devastating Lake Ontario’s ecosystem health, Wilcox said.

Pioneering this research was Wilcox himself, Howard said, adding that Wilcox worked for almost two decades to bring the International Joint Commission’s attention to the wetlands issue.

“There needs to be monitoring programming to determine what the changes in the wetland vegetation will be under the new regulation plan,” Wilcox said, noting that cattail invasions — a key indicator of unhealthy wetlands — are primarily the result of artificial stabilizing of lakes and rivers. kasmi102@syr.edu

students to go to bars on the Hill, however.

Paisley said he also expects an influx of students at the Hill’s remaining bars following the demolition. He added that while he thinks some students may travel downtown to look for bars, most students will remain on the Hill because of a lack of ride-hailing services such as Uber and Lyft in Syracuse.

The New York state Senate recently passed a bill legalizing and regulating ride-hailing services in upstate New York. The New York state Assembly has to pass a bill similar to the Senate’s to keep the possibility open for the services to be fully legalized statewide.

Nick Falcone, a co-owner of Benjamin’s on Franklin in downtown Syracuse said there is “no telling how (the demolition) is going to affect downtown,” and that his bar has no plans to take advantage of the demolition of the two bars on the Hill.

Managers from multiple other bars in the Armory Square area, including The Blue Tusk and Daisy Dukes, were unavailable for comment on this story. David Hoyne, the owner of Kitty Hoynes on West Fayette Street, declined to comment, saying he doesn’t know enough about the planned demolition at South Crouse Avenue.

Some SU students, however, agree with Lipsy and Paisley, saying many Chuck’s and Orange Crate regulars will begin to more frequently head downtown for drinks. from page 3

report question listing a “lack of a sense of belonging” for being the reason they wanted to leave.

Increasing awareness about mental health on campus has been one of the lead initiatives for SA under President Eric Evangelista and Vice President Joyce LaLonde.

LaLonde led efforts to create the first mental health awareness week from Oct. 2 to 8 last year. One event that week was “Syracuse Setbacks,” a discussion between SU faculty, administrators and staff on their mental health setbacks and how they persevered.

With the data collected, the Mental Health Action Committee stated in its report that there are short-term and long-term initiatives regarding mental health that can be acted on by the university. These include changes to the SU counseling center to improve mental health services and to hire more counselors to better serve the campus community.

This report was not easy to form because of the complexity of the issue, but it is something that the members of the committee are from page 3

income Students from families with incomes in the bottom 10 percent earned approximately 12.9 percent less than this base, while students who came from the top 10 percent earned approximately 2.4 percent more.

Another recently published study found results which contradict these findings, however. Economists with the Equality of Opportunity Project conducted a similar study in which they gathered information from 30 million students who attended Title-IV accredited colleges in the United States between 1999 and 2013. The study found that students across the socioeconomic spectrum had similar chances of success after college.

Carl McPherson, a pre-doctoral research fellow with the Equality of Opportunity Project, said that “life outcomes, in terms of the income that they make, are pretty similar.”

“If you’re rich, you’re much more likely to go to a better school. But once you get to your school, it doesn’t matter who your parents were,” McPherson said.

Witteveen said in an email they were aware that other researchers had conducted studies on the role of family resources in the hiring process and had found significant impact of class backgrounds on the hiring process. Witteveen said they thought there was a hole in this research, however, in regards to the effects of one’s family’s standing on future earnings of graduates.

Social scientists have frequently pointed

Jess Dilling, a senior political science major, said she thinks students will explore the downtown area more following the demolition, or gravitate to DJ’s or Harry’s.

Dilling, who frequently goes out to Chuck’s, said after the demolition she plans to spend the rest of her senior year going out to DJ’s.

Dilling also said she thinks Faegan’s could see an increase in students for their midweek nights, but doubts the pub will become “a Saturday type of bar.”

Timmy Kerrigan, a junior psychology major, recently signed a change.org petition that was started last week called “SAVE CHUCKS.” “HOW DARE THEY TRY TO TAKE MY SENIOR RIGHTS,” wrote Kerrigan on the website, as the reason why he had signed the petition.

Kerrigan said he’s upset he’ll be losing what he calls “a rite of passage for seniors” with Chuck’s being demolished, but also said he sees potential positive effects resulting from the demolition. He said students taking taxis downtown more to visit bars and restaurants is a good thing.

“It’ll be cool to go downtown and see what kind of food is down there for, like, drunk eating and all that stuff,” Kerrigan said.

Despite the possible shift to downtown drinking from some students, Lipsy, the manager of Faegan’s, said his store isn’t going anywhere.

“We’re just excited to possibly gain some new clientele and do some new things on the Hill,” Lipsy said. sfogozal@syr.edu

passionate about, Birnbaum said.

“Mental health is a difficult topic that doesn’t get enough attention on campus,” he added.

Birnbaum said it was particularly important to him that the committee was composed of both SA and non-SA members, offering an opportunity for students to contribute that are involved in other campus organizations.

While the majority of the report has been finalized, there’s still more work that LaLonde said she believes needs to be added.

During the 2017 Atlantic Coast Conference Student Leadership Symposium at Wake Forest University, LaLonde spoke with fellow institutions about what they are doing on campus in regard to mental health and plans on including that in the report, she said.

Once the committee’s report is finalized, it will be shared with SU administrators, university officials and student groups, Birnbaum said.

“We hope that from these presentations we can begin to work with the university on implementing our policy recommendations,” Birnbaum said. wgmuoio@syr.edu | @WillMuoio

out that different kinds of social, cultural and economic factors can impact educational and labor market outcomes.

“We know some of these factors cast a long shadow over individuals’ lives in general, regardless of educational backgrounds,” Witteveen said.

Some findings of the study, Witteveen said, were surprising.

“American popular culture celebrates the ideal of upward mobility through educational attainment ... researchers had found that a BA degree basically erases the influence of family background on income.”

Witteveen said. “In that sense our finding is disappointing because it challenges our meritocratic ideal.”

The study also found that graduates from lower and lower-middle class backgrounds still find more lower-paying jobs than their more privileged classmates, even if they work in the same fields post-graduation.

Witteveen said future research could focus on how class-related inequalities affect people on a more micro level, such as within a specific field or firm.

In regards to the contradicting study, Witteveen said the data used was intriguing because of the large sample size, but that it shouldn’t be misinterpreted.

“Despite the fact that there are many colleges that do display class equalization among their attendees and graduates, there is still considerable class-rooted inequality among college graduates nation-wide,” Witteveen said. rgreen@syr.edu

SU alumnus to bike across the country for Parkinson’s disease

By Benjamin Farr

social media director

M

atthew Barbaccia clicks on an arrow that leads him a few more feet down the road on Google Street view. He’s been doing this for months, visually measuring the sides of the road, calculating incline and looking at traffic.

Every few minutes he stops, decides the traffic and road shoulders aren’t good and reroutes. He’s a selfdescribed “data-obsessive engineer” and for his 4,000mile charitable bike ride across the United States, every step is analyzed. Monday, he finally leaves.

Barbaccia graduated from Syracuse University in December with a degree in biomedical engineering and was a former club lacrosse player. By that time, the 23-year-old had a job lined up with Teach for America in Hawaii starting in June.

That left just under half a year for him to fill.

“I began to ask, ‘What am I going to do with five months?’” Barbaccia said.

After stumbling on a website called “Bike the US for MS,” an organization that fundraises for Multiple sclerosis through bicycle touring, Barbaccia decided to take their concept and make it his own. He set out to fundraise for a cause close to his family: Parkinson’s disease research.

Parkinson’s disease is a disorder caused by the malfunction and death of brain cells which eventually results in loss of motor function and severe cognitive problems, according to the Parkinson’s Disease Foundation website. Barbaccia’s uncle had been the director of music at Trinity Lutheran Church in Brooklyn before being diagnosed with Parkinson’s Diseases at age 42, and his grandfather died from the disease in 2002.

Barbaccia affiliated himself with Team Fox, a fundraising program at The Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research. His goal has been to raise $50,000 for Parkinson’s disease research, with his cross-country ride as the main vehicle in this campaign.

“I decided to take action instead of settling with the fact that I’m not going to find the cure to Parkinson’s myself,” Barbaccia said.

He minimizes Google Maps and drags over an Excel spreadsheet with contacts on it. He’s sitting at a folding table in his brother’s bedroom in Pittsford, New York, just outside of Rochester.

Preparing for this trip has become a full-time job. He begins each day training on a stationary bicycle at the YMCA. The rest of the day, he typically contacts the media, sets up meet-and-greets in cities he will be visiting and fills out a chart with places to stay each night.

At the foot of the bed is a pile of camping gear, a second desk in the corner holds stacks of notes from conversations with veteran cross-country cyclists.

Barbaccia, who has never done a bicycle tour before, values what he’s learned from these experts.

“Believe it or not, but what most people tell me to have is bear mace,” Barbaccia said. “You run see barbaccia page 10

osh Feinblatt Double Spaced 1.1 Inch Margins As much information to take up as much space as possible This first sentence is a hook, and it starts out with something to the effect of “since the beginning of American history,” or another broad statement.

In the introductory paragraph, you’ll put around five sentences or so just talking about common knowledge for your topic. You’d pull something

JOSH FEINBLATT

KENT IS MY BIGGEST FAN from the back of your head. There’s not enough time to google it, so we’ll rely on fourth grade knowledge. Most sentences will be broad statements or in the past tense. Finally — your last sentence will begin with finally, because it’s your thesis statement —

you’ll make a very bold claim, the hot take of the academic world, and probably the same thing everybody else is saying, and forget you have to back it up in the rest of the paper.

In this first body paragraph, we start with a topic sentence. State a piece of evidence that backs up the thesis statement. We learned this in third grade so it should not be that hard. Do not give any real facts yet — just make a claim that seems right.

It’s not hard. It’s just like writing a

news story.

After you go re-check your thesis statement and come up with a piece of evidence, look at a reading from class, and the first sentence you see, just use it. Throw some quotes around it and hope that it’s thoughtprovoking enough to pass as “evidence.” Your teacher will think you actually did the reading.

After that, go back and check your notebook. Those bullet points copied word for word from

the PowerPoint in class are going to come in handy. Try and turn some of those into complete sentences. See? Nice and easy, and you did not really add anything.

Afterward, you’ll add a few more sentences in a similar manner, just copying bullet points.

If for some God-forsaken reason your teacher made you write an outline, then you should definitely steal as many words as possible

feinblatt from that. Just throw random words in at this point. The words “strategy,” “domesticity,” “compliance,” “interactivity” and really anything with more than six letters will apply here. You will have a paragraph if you do all this. Repeat these past few steps a couple more times, depending on how long that paper is. If it’s only a page, stop, but if it’s three to five pages, might want to loop back to the second step a few more times.

You’re doing great so far, and wow, your parents must be proud that tuition is helping you advance as a human being. At this point, you should be nearing the conclusion. If you’re out of time, then just end without a conclusion. If you want to seem like you’re not an obvious slacker, try to throw a couple sentences together to sum up the paper.

The first and last sentence of the conclusion

should model the thesis statement, except even more vague and bold.

The first sentence of the conclusion has to have that attitude of, “Yeah, I proved something in this paper.” The last sentence of the conclusion should have the feeling of “profound, philosophical question posed to the audience.” For all the sentences in between, just copy and paste a sentence from each body paragraph in there.

Once you wrap up, all you have left to do is proofread. Press that “spell check” button. Other than that, submit the paper and you can resume what you were doing before writing this paper — getting drunk.

barbaccia into Rottweilers, German shepherds and big hounds that will just chase after you because you are moving.”

Barbaccia adds that people have told him they get more flat tires in Florida, where regulations on 18-wheelers are minimal — worn tires leave behind metal debris. He’s been advised to bring extra food and water for the desert. His parents worry about distracted drivers and Barbaccia himself has concerns that his route, which starts in Atlantic Beach, Florida, and ends in Sacramento, California, will take him straight through Tornado Alley during tornado season.

Still, the cyclists he has spoken with think he’ll be fine. Problem solving is one of the aspects of the trip Barbaccia is most looking forward to.

“I’m not really the go-getting type that will take on the problem by myself,” Barbaccia said.

“This is an opportunity to go out there and come across issues and fix them on my own.”

The mouse hovers over Syracuse Chancellor Kent Syverud’s name on a contact sheet.

While still at SU, Barbaccia explains, he ran into Syverud while he was walking his dog.

As he often does to people he’s just meeting, Barbaccia told the chancellor about his trip and his goal. The chancellor was sympathetic to Barbaccia’s cause and wrote down his personal phone number on a note card for him.

“He said, ‘If you have any issues or are stuck on a road somewhere give me a call.’”

Barbaccia said. “I was so shocked.”

Since then, Barbaccia has had positive experience after positive experience meeting people.

Everyone, it seems, wants to help in some way.

So far, he’s raised just under $9,000 dollars with Team Fox and has found event organizers in

several of the major cities he’s pedaling through.

Downstairs from his makeshift office, standing by the front door in middle of the foyer, is Barbaccia’s bike, a custom fitted Trek 520 touring bicycle. Surrounding it are 45-pounds of gym weights Barbaccia uses when training to account for the drone, camera, and laptop he plans on taking with him to update his website and social media accounts.

The bike is shiny, dark gray and outfitted with new puncture-resistant tires, disc brakes, a new cellphone holder, new frame bag and new leather seat. The only items that are a little dirty older than Barbaccia’s other equipment are his gear bags, called panniers, used by both his dad and his uncle, who developed Parkinson’s 13 years ago. Those items are more than three decades old.

It took special hardware to attach them to Barbaccia’s new bike, but carrying them along allows him to travel with a memento of his inspiration.

“It’s a cool continuity,” said Barbaccia’s dad, John, who is also a biker. “He’s also using the same model of seat I used in Europe.”

Monday, Barbaccia will dip his back tire in the Atlantic Ocean and begin a threemonth trip across the southern United States. He will pass through the crowded highways of Florida, through the windy plains of Texas, over the Rocky Mountains in Colorado and through the desert in Nevada.

Once he reaches Sacramento, California, Barbaccia will dip his front tire in the Pacific Ocean to complete his trip.

Along the way, Barbaccia will continue to do outreach at his stops. A map on his website, ride4parkinsons.com, will populate different sections of his route with contributors’ names.

The hard work, Barbaccia said, is over.

The rest is just biking. brfarr@syr.edu | @YepIveBenFarr

RED HOT CHILI FESTIVAL Thornden Park group to engage community with 21st annual Chili Bowl Festival Text by Caroline Bartholomew asst. copy editor

Illustration by Alex Szelewski design editor

M

iranda Hine has been taking her children to the Thornden Park Chili Bowl Festival since it started in 1996. Her children are grown up now, with kids of their own, and they will be going to the festival too.

On Saturday, the Thornden Park Association will hold its 21st annual Chili Bowl Festival at the park’s field house from noon to 3 p.m., in a partnership with the culinary program at Onondaga Community College to make the chili and will offer four different kinds, including a vegetarian option.

In addition to bringing the community together, the festival is also a fundraiser for the Thornden Park Association.

The festival began as a neighborhood community potluck where people brought all different types of chili to share. Now, they typically get 250-300 people, depending on the weather, said Sondra Roth, a volunteer for the Thornden Park Association.

“It’s a way for neighbors to catch up after being inside all winter,” Roth said.

This year’s festival will feature live performances from local

musicians Phil and Brendan Rose, Danielle Patrice and Dick Ford.

For kids, there will be face painting, sidewalk chalk and other games.

Later in the day, there will be a bonfire outside the field house.

The event is sponsored by Syracuse City Department of Parks, Recreation & Youth Programs, Syracuse University, Tupper Property Management, G&L Davis Meat Co., Syracuse Cooperative Federal Credit Union, author Bruce Coville and Middle Ages Brewing Co. “Originally, we had a winter festival and that kind of morphed into the Chili Festival, which has been very popular with people,” said Hine, a board member for the Thornden Park Association.

In the past, the event has had some SU student involvement. Kiva Vandergeest, treasurer for the Thornden Park Association and State University of New York College of Environmental Science alumna, worked in the past to coordinate student volunteers.

As a landscape architecture alumna of ESF, she joined the Association because she wanted to get involved in the community and use her degree in a meaningful way, Vandergeest said. “(Joining the Association) did help,” Vandergeest said in a text message. “I’ve meet a lot of people and I know a lot more about Syracuse and in general how public, private and nonprofit partnerships are very important to the success of communities.”

The Association started in 1983 and is run by volunteers

like Roth and Hine who advocating for the park, Roth said.

Highlights of the park include tennis and basketball courts, a community pool, amphitheater, a lily pond and the E.M. Mills Memorial Rose Garden. The park was purchased by the City of Syracuse in 1921 and is the second largest park in the city. Since 1994, it has been listed on state and national registers of historic places because of its historic landscape.

The Association is constantly working new projects to revitalize the 76-acre historic park. Recently, the Association installed new outdoor exercise equipment and new water fountains. They offer a summer camp for children entering grades 1-5 in addition to a Shakespeare Festival and free weekly yoga classes.

The association hosts the annual Westcott Street fair that attracts around 8,000 people to the Westcott neighborhood for a celebration of food, art and service projects.

In the past, Thornden Park has also held “Maple Day,” which is another way for the community to gather around food and for local syrup makers to sell their products. One of the goals of this event is to connect food production with the community.

“One of the reasons we started the Chili Bowl Festival was because we wanted the park to be used year-round,” Hine said. “Because the more the park is used appropriately, the better the place is.” cbarthol@syr.edu

Four different kinds of chili will be available at the festival, including a vegetarian option.

There will also be face painting and sidewalk chalk for kids. courtesy of sondra roth

deal with anything. After No. 7 Louisville (23-6, 11-5 ACC) romped Syracuse (17-13, 9-8), 88-68, only one regular season game remains before the ACC tournament begins in just over a week. The Barclays Center, home of this year’s conference tournament, is the last proving ground SU has to impress the NCAA Tournament selection committee and cure its inefficiencies away the Carrier Dome.

Because if there’s one word that embodies the Orange’s performance in the KFC Yum! Center on Sunday afternoon, it’s inefficient.

Shooting behind the arc, driving the paint and holding onto the ball were all sources of frustration against UofL. “It’s tough, man,” senior point guard John Gillon said. “We played five games in 15 days, so I know everybody’s a little tired.

“Every loss is disappointing and it’s hard to move past it, but that’s what we have to do.”

Even when Syracuse combined to lose by 35 in consecutive road games against North Carolina and Notre Dame, SU toyed with a comeback in the second half. It began the second half against the Fighting Irish down seven, and used a 12-0 run to trim UNC’s lead down to three.

But against the Cardinals, it was Syracuse getting toyed with. Andrew White scored his first points of the game with 9:06 remaining to close the gap to 11, but that’s as close as the Orange got in the second half. SU led for only two minutes and 10 seconds on Sunday, all of which came in a brief first-half stretch where UofL shot 0-for-5 and turned the ball over five times.

Louisville rebounded by going on a 23-4 run. Syracuse never did.

“It is what it is,” sophomore Frank Howard said. “They’re a great team, they’re at home. It’s always hard to beat a team when they’re at home. It’s just how the game went.

“We can’t do anything about it now.”

Given how this season has gone, it would be to no one’s surprise if SU dominated a Georgia Tech team it already lost to on the road. Saturday’s game will be the fourth home-and-home series the Orange has The Daily Orange 2/27/17 Crossword played this year. The first two, against Bos-

white what probably a lot of teams are doing to him right now.”

We play him as if he has no dribble. We get up, we sit on his right hand. And that’s what probably a lot of teams are doing to him right now.

Rick Pitino Louisville head coach

3-pointers pulled away, decimating SU’s offensive attack that featured four players scoring double digits in an upset win over No. 10 Duke on Wednesday.

After beating three Top 10 teams in the past month, UofL forced the Orange to shoot nearly 10 percent worse from behind the arc than its average in ACC play.

“Syracuse can beat anybody any given night,” Cardinals head coach Rick Pitino said, “and we just wanted to make sure every shot they took was challenged.”

Boeheim called a 30-second timeout trailing by 15 with three and a half minutes until halftime. He yelled at the referee pleading about calls he disagreed with. Assistant coach Adrian Autry pointed and yelled at the players sitting in the huddle. Nearly all of the Cardinals’ fans remained standing through the timeout.

Louisville switched on every screen, a scheme that proved effective against an offense built around the ball screen. Syracuse had to drive to the basket in order to generate its offense because otherwise it’d be playing right into the Cardinals’ hands. In comeback wins over then-No. 9 Virginia and Duke earlier this week, the Orange relied on Tyus Battle and Gillon to get inside in the second half.

“We weren’t moving enough (against) the matchup zone,” Battle said. “If we moved, we found success. We just had to keep moving. But when you stand still in that zone, they don’t have to do much work.”

On Sunday, SU only found such success in smaller doses. Even when Syracuse pulled to 60-48 with 11 minutes to play, a missed 3-pointer from White set up Lydon’s one-handed putback dunk.

On the Orange’s next possession, Gillon elevated from the left wing, closer to the sideline than the 3-point arc. The ball clanked off the rim and Boeheim held his arm out while barking instructions. Gillon’s at his best when he gets to the second level of opposing defenses.

Instead, he stood on the perimeter and finished with as many turnovers (three) as assists.

“It’s important you get up on them and make them drive,” Pitino said. “Especially when you have a 20-point lead, you know they’re going to do that.”

For the eighth straight game, the Orange trailed by double digits. But the comeback Syracuse expected never arrived. Instead of chipping away by getting to the rim, SU chucked 3-pointers that never found the bottom of the bucket.

“The first half, we weren’t aggressive offensively,” Boeheim said. “We just dug a hole and just couldn’t climb out of it.” pmschwed@syr.edu | @pschweds

With about 10 minutes left, White drove from the right corner along the sideline. He didn’t have any room to shoot so he was forced to attack, something he’s not as strong at. He drew a foul on the Cardinals’ Anas Mahmoud then went to the line to shoot a one-and-one and missed the first. He didn’t score his first points of the game until 45 seconds later.

Syracuse head coach Jim Boeheim said

what we learned press in the Carrier Dome two weeks ago. SU, quite simply, was pressing out of desperation.

If nothing else, it was a last gasp to maintain relevancy on the scoreboard.

The Cardinals had the luxury of picking their spots to dispatch some pressure defense. That helped force some of Syracuse’s 16 turnovers, which Louisville then converted for 27 points.

The Orange’s press wasn’t terrible, and it hasn’t been when it’s been used in the final minutes of close games. But instead of playing a short game of catchup or preserving a game-ending lead, SU began pressing in the final two minutes of the first half. It then extended into large chunks of secondhalf minutes, leaving Syracuse worn out and yielding several easy baskets.

“People have said, ‘Why don’t you press more?’” Boeheim said. “Well this is why. Because we’re effective for three or four minutes. “…When you have to press, you have to press. There’s no other way out of it.”

Taurean Thompson took a step back in his progression

TAUREAN THOMPSON scored two first-half points, struggling in a game during which his first-year development regressed. jessica sheldon staff photographer

UofL defended White the same way as freshman guard Tyus Battle. The difference was that Battle effectively drove inside and finished with 20 points on 4-of-9 field goals inside the arc.

“They’re just staying with him. He’s just got to put it on the floor,” Boeheim said. “…

The last two games, that’s exactly what’s happened. He’s got to put the ball on the floor in those situations.”

Louisville’s matchup zone defense flustered White and forced him into contested shots. The Cardinals didn’t allow any space for him to shoot comfortably and essentially dared him to beat them on the dribble.

The problem for SU was that he couldn’t.

Sunday’s contest was Syracuse’s last chance to notch a respectable road victory.

And when it faced a 23-point second-half deficit, the Orange could have used some points from its leading scorer. White scored seven in just over the final nine minutes of the game, but SU was too deep in a hole to climb out.

“Untraditional defenses like Louisville’s matchup zone, Georgia Tech’s a little bit, it’s a little harder to find those gaps,” White said. “But it’s a crucial part of the year so me, everybody else, we have to find ways to put pressure on the rim and pressure on the defenses so that we can score.”

The 6-foot-10 freshman forward has been a bright spot this season, unseating fifth-year senior Dajuan Coleman as a starter in the process. Thompson’s been dragged down by poor defensive positioning in the zone and is no stranger to foul trouble, but largely he’s been productive in his freshman campaign.

On Sunday though, Thompson sat disgruntled in his locker room chair after the game. He recounted his poor shot selection and inability to rebound against the Cardinals’ lengthy roster. The freshman still finishing with 11 points on 3-of-9 shooting, but he was completely shut out in the first half. His two points came from

the free-throw line.

The second half, like it was for most every Syracuse player, went better than the first.

Thompson had a better touch on his shot, but defensive issues cropped up again. He committed three fouls, including blatant contact on Quentin Snider in a one-on-one situation.

“I didn’t even know what to do,” Thompson said. “It was one-on-one, so I just fouled. “… Just bad decisions.”

Syracuse took too long to start driving

At times, it seemed SU completely forgot what happened in an overtime loss to the Cardinals in the Carrier Dome. Syracuse attempted more 3-pointers (33) than it had against any other team this season, and still shot 24.2 percent behind the arc. UofL boasts one of the best 3-point defenses in the ACC, and SU still tried to test it on Sunday afternoon. The Orange missed 11 3-pointers and hardly drove the paint in the first half, helping contribute to a 16-point halftime deficit.

It was seemingly too late to stage a comeback at that point, especially against the Cardinals’ defense. But once Syracuse found openings to knife through Louisville’s interior defense, that finally led to an uptick in offense. It’s the same strategy that shouldered much of SU’s comeback wins over Duke and Virginia.

That’s not to say the Orange would have beaten UofL if it started driving from the opening tipoff, but perhaps the final score doesn’t reflect a blowout. “(Louisville) have to be one of the longest, if not the longest team,” Gillon said. “…

They have three shot blockers in at all times.”

“You’ve got to drive,” Boeheim added. “The second half we drove. We had 43 points in the second half. Same defense. We were just too passive. We didn’t attack the defense.” cgrossma@syr.edu | @connorgrossman

missed opportuni-three Syracuse loses touch from beyond the arc in loss at Louisville

By Paul Schwedelson senior staff writer

L

OUISVILLE, Ky. — So often this season, the 3-pointer has bailed out Syracuse’s stagnant offense. The Orange hit 10 at Clemson and 15 at North Carolina State. But SU faced the No. 7 team in the nation on Sunday, a significantly more daunting defensive team.

Syracuse finished 8-for-29 from behind the arc against Louisville in its second-to-last regular season game. Selection Sunday looms two weeks away and the Orange’s offense again amounted to standing around watching each other. That forced SU to take contested 3-pointers and this time Syracuse made only 27.6 percent of them.

“When we shoot it better from there,” Orange head coach Jim Boeheim said, “we’re a different team.”

But the team that showed up at the KFC Yum! Center lost, 88-68, to the Cardinals (23-6, 11-5 Atlantic Coast). Syracuse’s (17-13, 9-8) most reliable 3-point threats — Tyler Lydon, John Gillon and Andrew White — combined to shoot 4-for-18 from deep. Syracuse had entered Sunday ranking third in the ACC in 3-pointers made this season. Credit Louisville’s matchup zone defense for troubling the Orange all game and turned SU back into the team that lost by 17 at North Carolina and 18 at Notre Dame.

The Orange now sits at 2-10 away from the Carrier Dome this season.

Its final chance to beat a ranked team on the road slipped through its fingers after leading for just over two minutes in the first half. Louisville see 3-pointers page 14

White struggles from outside

What we learned from SU’s loss at Louisville

By Paul Schwedelson senior staff writer

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Andrew White has grown accustomed to being highlighted on opponents’ scouting reports. As Syracuse’s leading scorer, he knows defenses will dare him to play outside his comfort zone. He’s been forced to drive and create for teammates more and more as the season has progressed.

Not once all season have opponents had as much success as No. 10 Duke and No. 7 Louisville in

the past two games. White scored seven points each time, tying his worst scoring output in a twogame stretch this year.

“It’s frustrating when you’re not getting your ideal shot,” White said. “… I don’t ever want to try and do too much because I’m pretty good at playing to my strengths.”

Louisville (23-6, 11-5 Atlantic Coast) took down Syracuse (17-13, 9-8), 88-68, on Sunday afternoon at the KFC Yum! Center. White, a graduate transfer, went 3-of-10 from the field and 1-of-8 from behind the arc. He’s now 8-for-36 from 3 in the

Orange’s past four games.

Less than seven minutes into the contest, White launched a shot that didn’t even touch the rim or the backboard. UofL fans reminded him throughout the rest of the first half with “Airball” chants when he touched the ball. As defenses have honed in on White, he’s finally hit a skid in his lone season as Syracuse’s workhorse.

“We play him as if he has no dribble,” Louisville head coach Rick Pitino said. “We get up, we sit on his right hand. And that’s

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — It was a fleeting two minutes and 10 seconds that Syracuse spent ahead of Louisville on Sunday afternoon. The remaining 37:50 looked a lot like SU’s (17-13, 9-8 Atlantic Coast) previous road games, and the result was a 20-point loss to the No. 7 Cardinals (23-6, 11-5) in the

KFC Yum! Center.

Here are three things we learned from the Orange’s penultimate regular season game.

In a battle of presses, Syracuse got run down

Both the Cardinals and SU found different reasons to employ their press defenses. UofL was trying to catch Syracuse a little bit off guard, especially after not showcasing a see what
