yracuse University administrators on Tuesday will host an open forum related to the Campus Framework plan, during which updates and reviews of the plan will be provided.

Vice Chancellor and Provost Michele Wheatly, Vice President and Chief Facilities Officer Pete Sala and Provost for Faculty Engagement Cathryn Newton will lead the forum. They are expected to provide information related to the Campus Framework that was gathered during the fall in addition to taking feedback on the next steps for the plan.

Members of the Campus Framework Advisory Group and the Office of Campus Planning, Design and Construction will also be at the forum to answer questions from attendees.

During the forum, those leading it are expected to share the results of two audits that were conducted during the fall, including an accessibility audit. They will also provide an overview of Campus Framework priorities identified by academic deans on campus.

In addition, they will further discuss the goals of the newlycreated Campus Facilities Advisory Board, for which members were announced on Thursday. The board was created to assess all academic and non-academic investments within the Campus Framework, as well as to improve decision-making and communication on construction projects.

The university has held similar Campus Framework forums during the same week of the spring semester each of the past two years.

The Campus Framework Advisory Group and members of Sasaki Associates, SU’s design partner, gave a presentation on March 2, 2016, in Hendricks Chapel detailing campus analysis findings related to the Campus Framework. A year later, School of Architecture Dean Michael Speaks led a Campus Framework update session in Schine Student Center’s Goldstein Auditorium.

The Campus Framework plan is meant to guide SU’s physical campus development over the next 20 years. It includes long-term construction projects, such as phasing student housing out of South Campus and moving it all to Main Campus, as well as shortterm projects that have already started or been completed, such as the University Place promenade. It also includes both minor projects and major projects, such as renovations to the Carrier Dome’s roof.

Tuesday’s open forum will be held at 4 p.m. in the Joyce Hergenhan Auditorium in Newhouse 3.

Board looks to improve transparency in decision-making

By Satoshi Sugiyama asst. news editor

In an effort to dispel skepticism over Syracuse University’s transparency in decision-making, the university has commissioned an advisory board to evaluate the Campus Framework’s academic and non-academic investments.

The Campus Facilities Advisory Board — led by Vice Chancellor and Provost Michele Wheatly and Vice President and Chief Facilities Officer Pete Sala, along with 21 stu-

dents, faculty and staff members — held its first meeting on Feb. 16.

Cathryn Newton, special adviser to the chancellor and provost for faculty engagement, who serves as the lead faculty adviser to the board, said the committee is “all about” transparency and timeliness.

“The sooner that people can hear what the committee is working on, the healthier it is for the campus,” Newton said. “ … I think it is the goal of this group that this be a place where there can be open sharing of viewpoints and direct-

ness. That is always very encouraging to me, because I think Syracuse makes its best decisions when we are open and direct and informed.”

The Campus Framework is one of three components in SU Chancellor Kent Syverud’s flagship Fast Forward Syracuse initiative.

During the Feb. 16 meeting, the board made two recommendations: to support the draft Campus Framework’s recommendation to position the physical heart of the campus as the academic core of SU, and to support “a time sensitive request” to identify additional space for teaching, learning and research.

Wheatly announced the board

TATTOO tuesday | pankhudi sinha

Harry Potter tattoo connects to home

By Julie McCullough staff writer

Most fans of the Harry Potter series are immediately excited to see the tattoo on Pankhudi Sinha’s back right shoulder.

In the books and movies, the Expecto Patronum spell is used to summon a guardian and seek protection in times of darkness. Though the words don’t SINHA have the same magical effect in real-life, they still evoke feelings of comfort and protection for Sinha.

The arts journalism master’s student got her tattoo last year to make her feel close to home. Since she came to graduate school at Syracuse University all the way from India, she knew she would miss her friends and family back home.

“I just felt like I needed something I could hold on to,” Sinha said. “That’s why I decided to get the tattoo.”

When deciding what to get, she knew she wanted something that would make her think of home and would bring her positivity. Choosing something from Harry Potter seemed like a perfect fit, as she was such an avid fan of the books as a child.

“I decided upon Expecto Patro-

num because it means that when you’re living in the darkest time, you can still find the light,” she said.

Those familiar with the story know this already. Advanced witches and wizards can learn how to cast this spell to ward off Dementors — the darkest creatures in the Harry Potter universe.

Get too close to a Dementor, and every happy feeling and memory will be sucked out of you via Dementor’s Kiss, until eventually you are left with a soulless, lifeless body. Author J.K. Rowling has said she created Dementors to symbolize depression.

But the Expecto Patronum spell conjures up a Patronus — a white, glowing figure that wards off the Dementors. In Latin, the words literally mean “I wait for a patron,” or, “I hope for a patron.” To explain this in the simplest of terms, it is conjuring up a protector to fight off darkness and evil.

For Sinha, this is exactly what her tattoo does for her. The graduate student struggles with the dark uncertainty of applying to jobs, all while living over 7,000 miles from home. At times of hardship and uncertainty and doubt, the words shine a flashlight of hope and comfort for her.

“It just brings me back to my childhood and my roots,” Sinha says. “It gives me something to hold on to.” jlmccu01@syr.edu

DeVos pushes school choice in cabinet role

By Michael Burke news editor

Betsy DeVos, the United States secretary of education who assumed office earlier this month, is considered one of the more controversial cabinet members under President Donald Trump.

DeVos is known for her support of school choice, voucher programs and charter schools, ideals she has brought with her to the White House. She is the former chair of the Michigan Republican Party.

DeVos was narrowly confirmed by the U.S. Senate on Feb. 7, with Vice President Mike Pence breaking a 50-50 tie in the Senate. All Democrats and Independents, as well as two Republicans in the Senate, voted against confirming her.

The controversy over DeVos derives from her support of school

choice through both school vouchers and charter schools. DeVos founded and formerly chaired the American Federation for Children, an organization she has used to promote vouchers and charter schools as well as support candidates who have done the same.

Charter schools are schools that receive government funding but operate independently of a given state’s public school system.

Charter schools also often don’t have unionized teachers.

Proponents of charter schools say that the schools operate more effectively and create healthy competition without oversight from a district or government. Critics, though, argue that there is not proper accountability for charter schools and that the funding the schools receive takes resources away from conventional public schools.

Speaker bill passes after assembly debate

By Jordan Muller staff writer

The Syracuse University Student Association passed a bill Monday night that would amend the responsibilities of the speaker of the assembly for future SA legislative sessions.

“The Speaker of the Assembly Cabinet Bill” will require the speaker of the assembly to attend cabinet meetings. The bill was passed after parliamentarian Obi Afriyie, who was presenting the bill as acting speaker, broke a 9-9 voting tie in the assembly.

The bill was originally presented at an SA meeting on Feb. 13, but SA’s

Afriyie said the goal of the bill is to make the speaker a liaison

see bill page 6

More than 6,000 charter schools currently operate in the U.S., according to U.S. News & World Report. They represented about 6 percent of the U.S. public school system as of the 2012-13 school year. The number of charter schools in the country has steadily risen over the years, per U.S. News & World Report.

In New York state, there are 295 total charter schools, according to the New York State Department of Education. More than half of those are elementary schools. In total, charter schools represent less than 5 percent of schools in the state.

The Syracuse area currently has two charter schools and a third will open for the 2017-18 school year.

School vouchers, meanwhile, are scholarships funded by states that parents can use to enroll

their children at schools of their choice — even private schools.

Proponents of school vouchers argue that the vouchers make for free market competition by allowing parents to use the vouchers to send their children to the school of their choice. Critics, though, say that such competition will inevitably reduce the quality of public education.

Currently, school voucher programs exist in 14 states and there are more than 175,000 recipients of vouchers in those states, according to Ed Choice.

Vouchers first entered the U.S. in 1989, when Wisconsin passed the country’s first school voucher program for students from low-income households in Milwaukee. In 2011, Indiana created the nation’s first statewide school voucher program for low-income students. see devos page 6

Car hits bicyclist at off-campus intersection

By Satoshi Sugiyama asst. news editor

A car hit a bicyclist on the corner of Euclid and Comstock avenues on Monday evening. The bicyclist is expected to survive.

Syracuse Police Department officers who were at the scene would not give the details of the accident, but said the bicyclist only complained of pain. It is unclear whether the bicyclist is affiliated with Syracuse University.

A police scanner showed police responded to a call of motor vehicle collision at 6:39 p.m. on Monday.

The driver, a Syracuse University graduate who said he

was heading to a restaurant, said his car was going between 25 and 30 mph on the yellow light as the bicyclist cut through Euclid Avenue on the red light.

He said the bicyclist’s backpack hit the front glass of the car and caused a spider web crack.

When the bicyclist fell onto the road, the driver said he heard the bicyclist saying that his head was fine but he had pain in his arms.

The bicyclist was put on a stretcher and taken to an ambulance, which left the scene around 7 p.m. The specific condition of the bicyclist is unknown. ssugiyam@syr.edu @SatoshiJournal

Tax breaks vote may be held

By Michael Burke news editor

A Syracuse city agency on Tuesday could approve tax breaks for the developers of the South Crouse Avenue construction project that would require the demolition of Hungry Chuck’s and several other businesses.

Syracuse’s Industrial Development Agency will hold a public meeting at 8:30 a.m. on Tuesday in the Common Council Chambers at City Hall. Developers at BLVD Equities, a real estate development firm based in New Jersey, have submitted a proposal to the IDA for $1.7 million in mortgage and sales tax breaks for their project to demolish the structures at 721-23 and 727 S. Crouse Ave. and construct an eightstory “mixed-use building.”

The IDA has been accepting public comments in recent weeks regarding those tax breaks, and Tuesday’s meeting will be the agency’s first opportunity to either approve or disapprove the tax breaks.

Jared Hutter, a manager of BLVD Equities, said in a recent interview that he believes the concept of tax exemptions are often misconstrued.

“Everyone thinks developers are taking money out of peoples’ pockets. That couldn’t be farther from the truth,” he said, arguing that taxpayers will benefit from the mixed-use building.

Hutter also said a number of construction jobs will be created through the project and that the developers will still pay the city a fee.

“The city of Syracuse actually benefits tremendously from programs like this,” he said. mdburk01@syr.edu — Enterprise Editor Jacob Gedetsis contributed reporting to this article.

city news The Syracuse Common Council on Monday voted to approve the deployment of ShotSpotter in the city.

The city plans to install ShotSpotter — gunshot detection sensors — in an area spanning 3 square miles. ShotSpotter uses sensors to detect gunshots and notify law enforcement.

Syracuse Mayor Stephanie Miner said in a statement Monday that ShotSpotter is an innovative technology “that, when combined with the police department’s sophisticated data analysis, has the potential to reduce shots fired incidents.”

“I am pleased the Common Council has voted today to support the deployment of this new technology,” Miner added. “I look forward to having our system up and running in the coming months.”

In her State of the City address last month, Miner said other cities that have installed ShotSpotter have seen a decrease in gunfire incidents.

Our Reader: Syracuse, suburbs Reader responds to Jan. 25 article merger plan a reasonable solution about Trump supporters at SU Because of lack of support, there will rightly not be ballot measure on the merger plan in November.

The Consensus team should have addressed the broader issue of how should we effect mergers and shared services that would increase the efficiency of government and reduce costs. It must be a plan that makes sense.

I believe that the most reasonable solution is to merge the City of Syracuse with the contiguous suburbs to create a metro Syracuse with a single government headed by a mayor. The outer villages could be merged

with the towns they reside in. The County government would oversee the concerns that are common to both. The concerns of urban and rural areas are often distinct and would be handled by their separate entities.

The expanded urban core will share all their services which would result in increased efficiency and better services at lower cost.

Consensus should consider this model and hold hearings to get input as to how such a model would work and could be enabled.

It’s important to realize that, despite claims of “open hostility,” conservative students are still coddled on campus.

A “general attitude of self-censorship for the sake of self-preservation” is confusing to say the least — these students claim to feel unsafe, yet apparently not unsafe enough to voice their opinions publicly.

Students even give their first and last names in the article, rather than make their responses anonymous. This puts into question the substance of these claims.

The notion of being silenced is particularly perplexing when conservative students are given a public platform, via The Daily Orange, to openly and freely express their political views. This perceived victimhood coming from rightleaning students is ironic considering that at least 50 of their fellow students have

been directly targeted and affected by the Trump administration due to their national origin and religion.

There comes a point when the importance of morality and human rights transcends political beliefs and affiliations. Feeling “left out” for not sharing the views of the majority of students on campus becomes irrelevant in comparison to the issues other students on that same campus face when their rights as people are in question. When there are students unable to travel home because they would be barred from reentering the United States and undocumented students under growing threat of deportation, one begs the question: Who are the ones truly living in fear?

Yale rightfully renames college dedicated to white supremacist

Y

ale University recently made the decision to rename a building on its campus that was originally dedicated to John Calhoun, a Yale alumnus who was a staunch slavery supporter and the seventh vice president of the United States. The name change draws into question a university’s struggle to preserve or revise its history, but ultimately the choice to rename the college was in Yale’s best interest.

Calhoun College, a residential college for undergraduate Yale students, will now be named after Grace Murray Hopper, an alumna and notable computer scientist.

Yale President Peter Salovey asked a Yale committee to guide the university in deciding whether Calhoun College should be renamed. The committee analyzed whether Calhoun’s legacy was at odds with Yale’s mission and whether his legacy was contested at the time the college was named.

The previous spring, Salovey had said he did not want to rename the college because he “did not want to erase history, but confront

BRENDAN GERMAIN

TWO EARS, ONE MOUTH it and learn from it,” according to The Washington Post, but the committee’s report apparently changed his mind.

The decision to change Calhoun College’s name was the right one because it’s based on both the current climate at Yale and the fractured regard for Calhoun’s legacy that dates to the 1930s. But the decision was complicated, and though it can be easy for students to simply say “change it,” the matter gets complicated when it comes to the college’s identity. Say this were to happen with a name as prolific as Newhouse or Whitman.

Would the Syracuse University community turn around and dismiss all that those institutions have stood for in the past?

It’s a balance between whether history or the present campus environment gauges a university’s ideological climate. Whether an

institution is bound by its past and if that past should be celebrated can certainly be drawn into question.

“The attachment to a residential college can run as deep as the attachment to the institution as a whole,” said Grant Reeher, a professor of political science at Syracuse University and a Yale alumnus.

Many alumni, Reeher said, hold a strong connection to Calhoun College. As stipulated by the Yale committee’s letter, two-thirds of the 350 alumni polled originally sided with keeping the name.

A similar debate sprouted up at the University of Michigan last year over the institution’s Winchell House, a residence hall.

Interestingly enough, the namesake for the building, Alexander Winchell, was the first chancellor at SU. Winchell was a white supremacist, and even today his book, “Proof of Negro Inferiority,” is printed on notable supremacist websites like Stormfront.

Although nothing in Winchell’s name stands at SU currently — the Winchell Dormitory was

editorial board

demolished to build Schine Student Center back in 1984 — he and other questionable university leaders remain emblazoned across colleges and universities.

The attachment to a residential college can run as deep as the attachment to the institution as a whole.

Grant Reeher professor of political science at syracuse university

And even though the new Yale college dedicatee will have Hopper’s name added to the building at the beginning of the 2017-18 academic year, Calhoun’s name will remain carved on the building.

There is a fear that namesake

changes will bring erasure, the dismissal of history and what it stood for. The legacy of an individual or a college’s name holds weight, especially at preeminent universities today.

A pillar of SU’s mission is to take pride in its history for access, engagement, innovation and impact, and the university has a careful balance between valuing where it has been and reclaiming where it can go.

Yale’s administration did an extensive review to assure the name change decision was rooted in not just its present campus climate, but also in archival research. Not all relevant names need to be changed simply because their legacy may become irrelevant today. It will be of continued interest for students and faculty alike to bridge between valuing history and adapting for the future.

Group could aid campus transparency The newly created Campus Facilities Advisory Board will hopefully serve as a vehicle for Syracuse University community members to give their input on physical changes to the university.

These changes are part of the Campus Framework, one of Chancellor Kent Syverud’s chief initiatives and a plan that will affect the infrastructure of the university for years to come.

In addition to giving SU faculty, staff and students a forum to discuss the Campus Framework, the board’s 23-member makeup should aim to ensure that university administrators do not make decisions that dramatically affect campus without first seeking the input of SU’s stakeholders. Many faculty

members were surprised and angry by the administration’s decision to invest $6 million in the construction of the University Place promenade, an aesthetic feature to the campus, rather than investing that money in improving the university’s academics.

The Campus Framework Advisory Board is a platform that will ideally ensure due diligence and prevent another controversy like that surrounding the University Place promenade from emerging again. The board includes 21 faculty, staff and students, in addition to its chairs, Vice Chancellor and Provost Michele Wheatly and Vice President and Chief Facilities Officer Pete Sala. Having two prominent members of the university administration at the head of a board mostly composed of SU community members will provide a variety of perspectives on infrastructure plans.

Wheatly first discussed the creation of the board in January at the first University Senate meeting of the spring semester. The announcement followed Senate demands that the university administration be more transparent and communicative about on-campus infrastructure

During the University Senate meeting, Wheatly said university administrators could better collaborate with the rest of campus, and added that she hoped the Campus Facilities Advisory Board would establish “a flow of information so we get broader input” on infrastructure decisions.

After the promenade controversy, it’s refreshing to see the administration move forward with a greater emphasis on transparency with the creation of this new board.

Professor receives grant from online education company

By Satoshi Sugiyama asst. news editor

A professor in Syracuse University’s School of Information Studies received a research grant from 2U, an education technology company that some say could drag down the quality of education.

Jeffrey Saltz, an associate professor at the iSchool, obtained one of nine grants from the company that adds up to nearly $200,000 to study student learning outcomes in online education, according to an SU News release. The research grant is earmarked for examining how students who are enrolled in his online course behave and

learn in the separate breakout sessions.

This is the first year the company has given a grant to its “partner institutions,” according to the news release.

“I’m interested to see how this plays out,” Saltz said in the release of his research plan.

“I’m also working on some different experiments for my face-to-face classes as well, and I’m curious to see where the differences might be.”

SU has formed multiple partnerships between 2U and SU schools and colleges to create online and hybrid degree programs, including with the iSchool last fall. The company has also partnered with the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications, the

Martin J. Whitman School of Management, the College of Engineering and Computer Science, the Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs and the College of Law. Those online programs are geared toward individuals who cannot get to campus for residential programs, such as professionals with established careers, people with disabilities or active-duty military personnel.

Some people within the SU College of Law expressed skepticism and fear that the online program provided by 2U might diminish the law school’s reputation. Cody Carbone, thenpresident of SU’s Student Bar Association, told The Daily Orange last April that students felt “blindsided” because they are not aware

of the details of the program, saying that only faculty members were involved in the discussion about creating the program.

SU Chancellor Kent Syverud was dean of the law school at St. Louis’ Washington University when 2U launched its first online law program in January 2013.

“There’s a win-win in this for my students, 2U and myself,” Saltz said in the release. “With this research, I hope I can provide a process or methodology that other faculty within 2U’s ecosystem, both here at Syracuse and at other partner schools can use in their teaching — while also improving my own online classroom practices in a way that enhances student learning.” ssugiyam@syr.edu | @SatoshiJournal

U.S. representatives show support for free college plan

By Delaney Van Wey asst. news editor

Seventeen United States congressional leaders have said they support New York state Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s proposal for a free public college program in the state.

Cuomo announced the supporters, all members of the New York Democratic Congressional Delegation, on Monday in a press release. Called the Excelsior Scholarship, Cuomo’s plan would make tuition for New York state public colleges free for students whose households earn under $125,000 annually.

“With a college education now a requirement to succeed in the modern workforce, the strength of our economy depends on our ability to help more New Yorkers go to college, and I am proud to have the support of these great New York leaders in our fight to make college tuition free for the middle class,” Cuomo said in the release.

Every Democratic U.S. representative from the state but one — Kathleen Rice (D-Garden City) — has expressed support for plan. The group included all three Democratic representatives from upstate New York: Louise Slaughter (D-Rochester), Brian Higgins (D-Buffalo) and Paul Tonko (D-Albany), according to the press release.

board more than 300 signatures being submitted to Syverud — and a protest against the promenade that took place in May — the university forged ahead with the construction plan without a delay. Critics argued that the money should have funded SU’s academics, not its aesthetics. The promenade was completed August 2016.

During the University Senate meeting, Wheatly acknowledged that the administration can do a better job at collaborating with the rest of campus, and that the board will hopefully create “a flow of information so we get broader input on some of our decisions” regarding facility renovations.

Cuomo’s team has estimated that approximately 80 percent or more of 940,000 New York families would qualify for this program. The plan would make tuition free at State University of New York and City Uni-

versity of New York colleges and universities for qualified students.

Nearly 1 million families in New York state would qualify for the scholarship, according to the state’s website.

Of the controversy, Newton said if the promenade construction were under consideration now, that matter is “exactly the kind of thing that would first go before this board.”

Newton said when Wheatly came to the university last May, she recognized a need to have some kind of a committee to look at and understand the university’s needs. Wheatly was interested in how the university could get a list of needs from schools, colleges and all divisions of the university to plan for construction, Newton said.

Given that there had not been a panel that reviews the needs or input from student organizations or student affairs on campus, Newton said Wheatly wanted to facilitate the process jointly with students, faculty, staff and administrators.

Mary Lovely, one of the board mem-

bers and an economics professor at the Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs, said the board’s purpose is to create not just transparency, but also an opportunity where different voices on campus are heard. The board members were selected from seven schools and colleges, SU administration, the Disability Cultural Center, Department of Public Safety and the Office of Campus Planning, Design and Construction.

Lovely said her goal on the board is to share her thoughts on whether a given academic building is welcoming for undergraduate students, noting that there are not many undergraduate students present on the Maxwell-Eggers complex compared to other buildings on campus.

“If we increasingly want to attract, retain

Trump has already proposed a $20 billion school voucher program for children living in poverty. The program would work as a block grant that could give children in poverty the option of attending private and charter schools.

When announcing the proposal in September, Trump said the program would be funded by redirecting existing federal funds, according to Politico, though he didn’t say which federal programs might lose funding. He also said states would get to determine how to use the grants but added that he would advise them to allow students to use the vouchers to attend schools of their choice, according to The Washington Post.

“I’m proposing a plan to provide school choice to every disadvantaged student in America,” Trump said, according to The Washington Post.

between the cabinet and assembly members. The speaker of the SA assembly should also have knowledge of the bills being presented at the assembly meetings in the event that the speaker would need to cast a tie-breaking vote on the bill, Afriyie said.

According to the SA constitution, the speaker only has the ability to vote on a bill if the vote is a tie and it needs to be broken. Afriyie said that last semester’s speaker cast a tie-breaking vote on a bill even though she had no knowledge of what the bill was about.

“The speaker has a lot more power than they’re being given credit for,” Afriyie said.

Drew Jacobson, SA’s recorder, agreed that a liaison was needed between the assembly and the cabinet. Until recently, he said most people didn’t know that Diasia Robinson, SA’s Diversity Affairs Chair, was

part of the cabinet.

“They’re not great at communicating,” Jacobson said. “The liaison role just wasn’t happening.”

He added that the speaker is responsible for managing cabinet presentations at Monday night meetings. If the speaker was present at cabinet meetings, Jacobson said the speaker could ensure that cabinet members were doing their mandatory reports on Monday nights.

Other members of the assembly, including SA’s current speaker, Andrew Regalado, said he did not believe that the bill was necessary.

“When the bill went to (the Administrative Operations committee), I made sure to add that it would be for the next speaker because I personally don’t think it’s a part of my position to go to cabinet meetings,” he said.

Janine Bogris, SA’s Board of Elections and Membership chair, also said she did not believe the bill was necessary because the president is already the mediator between

The plan is still pending legislative approval and would cost $163 million in its first year. It is set to roll out in the fall of 2017.

The plan would be phased in over three years. It is slated to begin in 2017 for families making up to $100,000 annually, then increase to $110,000 in 2018 and would be fully implemented by 2019.

The Excelsior Scholarship would only aid students with tuition, not living costs such as room and board, student fees and textbooks.

The scholarship would also only supplement existing aid rather than replacing it.

New York students attending four-year public and private colleges and universities graduate with an average of $29,320 in debt, according to the state. Cuomo in a news release earlier this year said he hopes the Excelsior Scholarship “will help alleviate the crushing burden of student debt while enabling thousands of young students to realize their dream of higher education.”

“For struggling families, the affordability of a college education remains a serious challenge. Providing more and better college tuition assistance for middle class families is an important step in our knowledge-based economy,” Higgins, the congressman from Buffalo, said. dovanwey@syr.edu

and motivate more academically-oriented students, we have to make space for them in the main campus area,” Lovely said.

There is no fixed schedule on when the board holds its meeting but Newton, as a board member, said she hopes meetings will take place “periodically with regularity.”

Newton said one of her goals would be transforming the campus to be a more vibrant space that supports student activities than it is right now.

“I’ve put a challenge that any of you could come back in five years or 10 or 15 or 20, and the real measure of our success will be how the campus moves and how this space informs academic discovery then,” Newton said. “We are always building a campus for people who aren’t here yet.” ssugiyam@syr.edu | @SatoshiJournal

the cabinet and the assembly. Bogris held the speaker of the assembly position during the 59th Legislative Session.

Because the speaker of the assembly position is new, Bogris said SA should continue to determine what the speaker’s role in SA should be. Regalado and future speakers should help decide whether or not the speaker should be added to the cabinet, she added.

The speaker of the assembly position was brought back to SA during the 57th Legislative Session.

Nine assembly members voted to pass the bill Monday night, while nine voted against the bill. Afriyie, presenting the bill as acting speaker, had the ability to break the tie.

“Did I not say this was an issue with the speaker?” Afriyie asked the members of the assembly. “Because now we have a 9-9 tie.”

Afriyie cast the tie-breaking vote in favor of passing the bill, allowing it to pass. jmulle01@syr.edu

FAULT IN OUR

PLANET Experts weigh in on potential new definition of ‘planet’

Pluto may regain its status as a planet if a proposal to change the definition of the word “planet” from a team of NASA scientists is approved by the International Astronomical Union. Pluto is currently considered a “dwarf planet” because of a 2006 ruling.

A

team of NASA scientists is proposing a new definition for the word “planet.” If the International Astronomical Union approves the proposal, Pluto may regain its status as a planet, along with several other celestial bodies.

The current official definition of a planet, as defined by the IAU, is a celestial body that is in orbit around the sun, has enough mass for its self-gravity to overcome rigid body forces so that it assumes a nearly round shape and has no debris or other objects within its path of orbit.

Alan Stern, the leader of the team that’s initiating the new proposal and the principal investigator of NASA’s New Horizons mission to Pluto and the Kuiper belt, wants to reinstate Pluto’s planet status.

He expressed his anger on Pluto being demoted to a dwarf planet in an interview with Business Insider in 2015.

Part of the reason for this proposed definition change could be political, said Gianfranco Vidali, professor of physics at Syracuse University’s College of Arts and Sciences.

“Not in the sense we understand but in the sense that (Alan Stern) is a planetary scientist and he

wants to promote planetary science,” Vidali said.

With the new definition, Vidali said under Stern’s interpretation, planets no longer have to orbit the sun and they don’t need a clear path of orbit. The only requirements for a celestial body to be considered a planet would be that it not have experienced thermonuclear fusion like that of a star, and that it be nearly spherical.

Not only would this reclassify Pluto as a planet, but it would also allow many more celestial bodies, such as moons and satellites, to qualify as planets, Vidali said.

“Now, schoolchildren will have to memorize 100 and something planets,” Vidali said.

Experts agree, though, that the distinction between planets and dwarf planets is justified.

Vidali said the classification between planets and dwarf planets developed when astronomer Michael Brown discovered Eris, another celestial body in the solar system, that was more massive than Pluto. Instead of declaring an additional planet, astronomers decided to further narrow the definition of a planet.

There are multiple differences between planets and dwarf planets. Generally, dwarf planets are smaller than Mercury, according to the IAU website. Also, unlike planets, their orbits are allowed to pass through zones that contain other objects, such as the asteroid belt. Part of Pluto’s orbit passes through an area known as the transNeptunian region, which contains many other celestial

bodies similar in size to Pluto, per the IAU website.

Anthony Gonzalez, professor in the department of astronomy at the University of Florida, said he believes the distinction can be justified because of the differences in physical size between planets and dwarf planets.

Neither expert fully supported the definition proposed by Stern’s team, but they both suggested potential changes that they would make to the current definition of “planet.”

Gonzalez said even though he thinks the current definition works well for our solar system, he would prefer more precision in the clause that requires a planet to have cleared its path of other objects. There is a difference between small objects that fly by in Earth’s orbit and the path of a planet that goes through the Kuiper belt or asteroid belt, he said.

Vidali said he would take out part of the IAU’s definition that says a planet has to orbit “the sun” and would replace it with the requirement that a planet has to orbit a “parent star.”

He added that while this would make the definition more encompassing, it would still exclude satellites.

“It’s possible to revisit this definition. After all, it’s just a definition,” Vidali said. ssiyer@syr.edu

runo Mars’ “Uptown Funk” broke out across the room as Courtney Grosvenor picked up a paintbrush and swept it across the canvas in front of her. Tentacles emerged from the octopus she was tracing. On the other side of the room, seven people mirrored her movements with their own brushes, hurriedly looking back and forth from her canvas to the octopuses on their own canvases.

Next to their canvases, cups of Dunkin’ Donuts coffee stood aside smaller cups with pink liquid bubbling inside. Bright palettes of red, orange and yellow paint sat next to the cups as Grosvenor instructed them to throw some yellow on their canvases. She advised the painters not to rinse their brushes in the water cup next to them.

“All those colors are on there anyway and if they blend together, that’s absolutely fine,” Grosvenor said.

With the enthusiasm ringing in her voice, one could not guess that Grosvenor worked in insurance for most of the week. When the weekends arrive, though, she takes up her paintbrushes as an instructor at Painting with a Twist, a company that combines art, wine and lively instructors like Grosvenor. Liverpool and DeWitt both have branches, but 325 exist across the country.

The Liverpool branch is conducting a Mardi Gras special this week. Patrons will paint a “Vibrant Bourbon Street” on Tuesday to celebrate Mardi Gras.

8,000 Number of paintings that Painting with a Twist has curated and owned since 2009

“I think it’s a great way to introduce someone to painting,” said Grosvenor, who thinks these sessions open up art for adults starting out or even just adults looking for an enjoyable and relaxing experience.

Many people are hesitant to take the plunge and buy every art material, but Grosvenor said Painting with a Twist “breaks it down step by step and opens doors.” Guests show up, dabble with four or five colors and leave with with a unique souvenir.

That’s the beauty of Painting with a Twist. As Grosvenor put it, everybody is doing the same thing, but the end result looks different. She loves the fact that everybody could have fun doing something they thought they couldn’t do.

“You can’t lose, people come here to want to have a good time,” she said. “The vibe is always good, and I get to do what I love — talking to people and teaching them how to paint.”

Ken Paddyfote Jr., operations manager at Painting with a Twist, classified the vivid paintings at the studio as “doable.”

“What we do here is art entertainment,” Paddyfote said. “We don’t actually teach an art class or use art terms.” see booze page 10

45th anniversary lineup announced for 2017-18 season

By Joe Bloss

asst. feature editor

Syracuse Stage on Tuesday announced its lineup for the 20172018 season.

This is the first go-around of selecting the Stage’s plays for newly hired artistic director Bob Hupp. Hupp, who came aboard the staff last July, will make his directorial debut at the Syracuse Stage with the season’s first show, “The Three Musketeers.”

“I’m thrilled to share this great season, this terrific line-up of plays, with our audience,” Hupp

said in a press release. “Syracuse Stage patrons are among the savviest in the country and they deserve the best we can deliver.”

Hupp said there is sure to be plenty of romance, intrigue and swordplay.

Up next and beginning Oct. 25 will be “The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time,” which won the Tony Award for Best Play in 2015. Syracuse is one of the first theaters outside of New York City to be given the rights to perform the play adapted from Mark Haddon’s novel of the same name.

“The Wizard of Oz” will run from

Nov. 29 through the end of the year, and like “The Three Musketeers,” will be co-produced with Syracuse University’s department of drama.

As Syracuse Stage’s annual holiday production, it is sure to gather a large crowd watching the stage adaption of L. Frank Baum’s classic novel.

“Next to Normal” launches on Jan. 17 and “A Raisin in the Sun” hits the Stage on Feb. 21 The 2017-2018 season is the 45th anniversary for for Syracuse Stage, and Hupp has gladly absorbed as much history as he could so far during his brief tenure.

“I’ve enjoyed learning about the

proud tradition of artistic excellence that defines our theatre company,” Hupp said. “It is this unswerving commitment to artistic excellence and a passion to tell fantastic stories that demand to live on a stage that drive our creative process.”

But that doesn’t mean there won’t be fresh and new elements added to the Stage next season.

“Cold Read: A Winter Festival of Hot New Plays,” will run Feb. 8-11. A project of associate artistic director and playwright Kyle Bass, it will incorporate reading of new and incomplete works and moderated discussions with one of the writers.

The best part is that some of it will cost the public nothing at all.

To conclude the season, magic and drama will be combined in “The Magic Play,” which stars magician and actor Brett Schneider in an event that is said to have a different ending each time it runs. Schneider’s character grapples with off-stage personal problems while exhibiting a display of on-stage illusions.

“This is a fascinating new work that blurs the line of what we think of as theatre,” Hupp said. “It’s a new and very exciting experience for our audience.” jtbloss@syr.edu | @jtbloss

With the intent of being active members of the community, Painting with a Twist puts on a monthly Painting with a Purpose fundraiser session at the New York State Fairgrounds. Last time, more than 130 guests came to the session. The proceeds from that event went to Operation Walk Syracuse, a program that allows doctors to go to developing countries and perform hip and joint rehabilitation surgeries.

Since its founding in 2009 in Louisiana, Painting with a Twist has curated and owned more than 8,000 doable paintings and provided jobs to more than 2,500 aspiring artists, according to its website.

“We’re number one in the paint and sip industry,” Paddyfote said. “Period.”

He added that Painting with a Twist was mentioned in the Forbes Top 500 for its category — Forbes in 2015 ranked the company number one among the paint-and-drink franchises to watch out for.

Paintbrushes at the studio shed their technical names and only have friendly names: Big Papa, Big Mama and Little Richard. Paddyfote emphasized the lighthearted nature of the session and the efforts the artists take to make their guests comfortable.

“Along with showing the patrons how to paint, you’re also an entertainer,” Paddyfote said. “You’re like the DJ of the party.”

Guests can participate in a variety of painting experiences: Grosvenor was instructing an open studio, where guests can sign up for a 2-hour or 3-hour session to work on a painting chosen by the instructors. During off-site sessions, instructors go to the site itself.

Painting with a Twist also unveiled its Bluetooth canvas about three months ago: guests can now paint on a canvas that could also produce music. Selling at a $100 a canvas, all the Bluetooth canvas needs is a phone to pair with and it would start playing Pandora favorites with a click.

Trademark events include special painting sessions for children groups, where Paddyfote said the kids are free to bring

their “sippies.” Another crowd-pleaser is the Paint Your Pet session: Patrons can send a photo of their pet to Painting with a Twist, where the artists will complete an initial tracing. On this tracing, guests can begin drawing and painting their own pets. After three hours, they have a likeness of their pet to take home with them.

“I think it’s one of the most rewarding classes, because they get to hang up their pet,” said Paddyfote, whose Jack Russell Terrier, Travel, hangs at the entrance of the Liverpool franchise.

No matter where the painting occurs, instructors try to transport “the ambience of the studio” as much as possible, Paddyfote said.

“Many people come here saying ‘I can’t do that, I can’t even draw a stick figure,’” he said.

“With the talented artists here, we are able to finish a painting in two hours that people are proud to hang up on their walls.”

Apart from these varieties, Painting with a Twist also conducts private sessions at the studio, costing adults $35 and children $25.

The franchise in Liverpool fulfills Painting with a Twist’s national reputation. Hundreds of paintings cover the walls from top to bottom. More than 120 paintings hang in just the bathroom at the studio. Colorful splatters of dried paint decorate any remaining empty space on the floor.

Every month, Painting with a Twist produces 35 to 40 new paintings. Along with children-special paintings of animals and couplespecial paintings, canvases sprawling with trees, leaves, snow and nature in all its glory decorate the walls of the Liverpool branch.

Last Tuesday, long tables stood ready with blank canvas and steady easel, waiting for the guests to put on their smocks. Nine ladies from the Rotary Club of Baldwinsville sat down and rolled up their sleeves.

A table in front of their canvases held a feast: a chocolate pizza box gaped open next to strawberries and baby carrots, and of course, four bottles of wine and a box of Sangria. Amidst raucous laughter and music blaring from the speakers, instructor David “the Steinman” Stein kicked things off.

“Let’s get started,” Stein said. dmurthy@syr.edu

THE N INTERN

By Annie Zeina staff writer

Senior shares insight after working at 3 major fashion houses

ot many students can say they have had three killer fashion internships in their purse heading into their final semester at Syracuse University. But Zoe Malliaros, a senior advertising major, has gotten her foot in the door at three renowned fashion houses: Tory Burch, Diane von Furstenberg and Theory.

The Boston native has spent the past four years delving into different sectors of the fashion world. With February ending, the season of cold emails, resume touch-ups and interviews will be in full swing as students chase summer internships. With her industry experience, Malliaros knows what it takes to land that internship, how to survive devils in designer clothes and how to be the shining star among a group of interns.

Malliaros said taking the first step can be intimidating. If Malliaros’ internships have taught her anything, the advice of standing out in a cluttered email inbox is like the advice of not wearing navy blue and black together — it’s the most important of all.

“Some people will tell you don’t cold email, but I think you should.

Be confident,” she said. “As long as you have a great subject line, a great opener and show that you have done your research for the brand — keep it short and sweet, their time is precious.”

As soon as she arrived as a freshman, Malliaros took advantage of the fashion connections the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications offers. She is the fashion director of Zipped Magazine. Her experience at student publications was just the foundation to learning the ins and outs of understanding the competitive and innovative fashion industry.

ZOE MALLIAROS, a senior advertising major, has interned at Tory Burch, Diane von Furstenberg and Theory. She started off as an assistant fashion stylist for Zipped, a campus fashion magazine. hieu nguyen staff photographer

As a sophomore, she took her first leap into the real world of fashion and landed an advertising internship at Tory Burch. The internship gave her a first look into working at a major industry company, and Malliaros said to have that experience as her first stepping stone into her year.

But her biggest breakthrough came in the fall of 2015 when she landed an interview for legendary fashion designer Diane von Furstenberg as a junior. She made sure to prepare for the interview in the best way any prospective intern should —research.

“I think you should definitely know the history of the company,” she said.

“Things like creative director, founder and how their ideas were instilled in the brand. Show that you can’t just list off facts, but actually know the brand. … Know what has happened in their past and where they are now.”

After landing the position, she spent the summer living in New York City working in Diane von Furstenberg’s remote fashion house location. Her job included tracking samples, research and conducting fittings for famous celebrities and models during the biggest weeklong event in the city — New York Fashion Week. From moments with the Hadid sisters to special wardrobe delivery runs to The Weeknd, Malliaros got a taste of the glamorous and exciting aspects that come with working at a major fashion house.

But just like any fashion internship can be, Malliaros’ time at Diane von Furstenberg also got her a rookie introduction like “The Devil Wears Prada” — except this time the film plot turned into her own reality.

“Everyone was right away Anne Hathaway in the movie,” she said. “When I did things right it was treated like it was wrong or it wasn’t this or wasn’t that. They just wanted me to know that I was the lowest on the totem pole.”

Although Malliaros was a little shaken by the experience, it never turned her away from pursuing work in fashion. Malliaros said it should only make you more motivated to keep on smiling, knowing that although the overworked fashion intern may be a true stereotype, it is something that won’t happen everywhere you work in your career.

“What I did was kill them with kindness and even with the dumbest tasks they gave us, I would act like it was my favorite thing to do,” she said.

“I knew that although it may be my experience here, across the board it wasn’t this way.”

The end of her internship with Diane von Furstenberg could not have ended anymore perfectly than it did. Her bosses could not have said better words about her work. With a lot learned she took her expertise to Theory this past summer and hopes to work with the company in the future. aczeina@syr.edu

Uncertainty remains on Syracuse’s starting backline

By Sam Fortier

asst. sports editor

The praise from Syracuse head coach John Desko usually comes with a qualifier. Defenseman Nick DiPietro is good, for a freshman.

Lately, the Orange has seen a lot of the true freshman on close defense. When Albany sprinted out to a 6-1 first-half lead on Feb. 18, DiPietro entered for Marcus Cunningham and rarely subbed out. After the first 20 minutes of last Saturday’s game against Army, an eventual 14-13 loss, DiPietro took the bulk of the minutes in place of the redshirt sophomore as the third defender.

Asked if the disparity in minutes indicated a change in the starting rotation, Desko replied: “(DiPietro) is a freshman and has been playing well in practice.

Sometimes in depends on the matchups, who they’re covering. They’re both doing OK. DiPietro’s doing a nice job, and he’s part of our future too.”

It’s unclear if there will be an official switch, but the third defender spot remains the only position juggling minutes. (Desko had said before Army that Cunningham is still the starter.) The top two defenders — longstick midfield convert Scott Firman and emerging star Tyson Bomberry — seem locked in, and the long-stick midfielder rotates between Austin Fusco and Andrew Helmer. For a team struggling with injuries and inexperience, No. 10 Syracuse (2-1) needs to solidify its defensive rotation to now move forward with the season’s toughest slate of games approaching.

Though DiPietro (6-foot-1, 210 pounds) and Cunningham (6-foot-2, 206) are similar in size, their styles differ. Teammates praise Cunningham’s physicality and endurance while lauding DiPietro’s speed and stick skills. The split in minutes potentially could stem from facing smaller, quicker Albany and Army teams.

The proportions perhaps will skew back the other way when facing heavier attacks in teams such as Virginia (March 5) and Johns Hopkins (March 18).

“D-P is really good at scooping the ball off the turf and pushing transition,” Bomberry said.

“Marcus definitely brings a really physical presence to the game.”

The pair also has nearly identical statisti-

cal lines: DiPietro has five groundballs to Cunningham’s four and each has one caused turnover. Through three games, the starting defensive line has 21 groundballs and seven caused turnovers, a decline from 23 and 13, respectively, over the same period last year.

Cunningham served as the fourth defender last season, scooping up three groundballs and causing two turnovers in 10 games. He appeared to stronghold a starting spot entering this season. He’s the first name that came to mind for Desko when asked about replacing preseason All-American defender Nick Mellen, while DiPietro was more of an afterthought, to be worked in slowly. Though Desko left the Harvard scrimmage impressed for the defender’s age.

The redshirt sophomore played a strong majority of the minutes in a season-opening, 13-goal win over Siena, but has appeared irregularly since. Cunningham had a pair of late slides and lost his man as Albany built a five-goal lead, and Desko consulted assistant coach Lelan Rogers. The defensive coach green-lighted the switch. “(Cunningham) is a good energy guy, especially this week,” Firman said the week after DiPietro subbed in for Cunningham against Albany. “For whatever reason, he’s been bringing a lot of energy to practice.”

For now, Cunningham appears to maintain the edge. Desko, however, said DiPietro did a “solid job” against Army and has improved his slide package recognition and reaction. Multiple teammates called him poised. In the meantime, Firman and goalie Evan Molloy have taken on mentorship roles for the true freshman by helping him study and feel more comfortable in the offense.

“You’re going to make mistakes (as a freshman),” Firman said. “But if you make them going 100 miles an hour, it’s not gonna be as big a deal.”

The defense, as a whole, seems solidified with one missing piece. The Orange may end up opponent-contingent mixing and matching, or one player could win the job outright. But after the loss to Army, and a game against Albany that easily could have ended the same way, it’s clear Syracuse still seeks answers on its backline.

“We’re still learning about ourselves,” Desko said about the defense, “we’re still trying to figure that out.” sjfortie@syr.edu | @sam4TR

from page 16

bracketology that enough crazy stuff happens over the next week and a half that it doesn’t. And that’s as befuddling as anything else. That a team could manage to actually not do anything of substance away from home, go, let’s say they ended up 19-14 or something like that, and still get in. That would be pretty incredible. In another year, that probably wouldn’t happen.

Right now, there’s some hope that it does.

The D.O.: What does Syracuse have to do to at least stay in the mix amid the fluid bubble situation?

P.S.: I don’t think they can go to Brooklyn and not win their opener. You’re not going to gain much value from beating Georgia Tech.

Amazingly, that’s one of those situations where you might wind up knocking a team out of the top 100 by beating them. So you might diminish your victory if you get it over them but also diminish the loss or enhance the negative value of the loss that they had at Georgia Tech. But I do think a one-and-done situation, if they’re 18-14, it would require a lot of help, in my mind, to get in.

The D.O.: Have you seen any team in recent years have such dramatic home/road splits?

P.S.: Usually if you don’t win games away from home, you just can’t pile up enough victories to make a difference anyway. The amazing thing is this is kind of the issue for the UCLA team a few years ago (in 2014-15, UCLA went 2-8 on the road) that snuck in and then made the Sweet 16 that year anyway.

And I remember thinking that was a bit of an odd inclusion. Truthfully, that was one of the

from page 16

teleconference and Wake Forest could be playing for their inclusion in that group next week, and the Orange will hope to have better fortunes than the first time it visited the Barclays Center this season.

“We’re looking forward to playing in Brooklyn,” Boeheim said. “We played this year already. It should be a great tournament. We’ve got a great league and there will be great teams in New York.”

That Georgia Tech is in NCAA Tournament contention is a ‘modern miracle’

The Yellow Jackets, once picked to finish 14th out of 15 ACC teams, have reeled off enough wins to jump into the NCAA Tournament discussion. Pastner, formerly at the helm of Memphis and in his first year at Georgia Tech, inherited a team with not a single player who averaged more than 5.0 points per game last

least accomplished teams to get an at-large bid in recent past. So maybe that’s something Syracuse can take some hope from. Because this year’s Syracuse team has actually beaten good teams whereas that UCLA team hadn’t done a whole lot of anything.

Kansas State in 2014 did get into the NCAA Tournament with a 2-7 road record. Those road wins came at Texas Tech, which wasn’t very good and at TCU, which wasn’t very good.

They also beat Gonzaga on a nominally neutral court in Wichita, Kansas. So they had at least done something away from home. … So there are some examples. But I keep coming back to the idea that that is a differentiator. If they could simply get something, even if it’s Virginia Tech in an 8-9 game (in ACC tournament) and they get that game, it could solve a lot of problems.

The D.O.: What else should Syracuse fans be aware of?

P.S.: The argument Syracuse has is going to be the argument Syracuse has right up until Selection Sunday. They beat all these really good teams. They beat Florida State, they beat Duke, they beat Virginia, they beat Miami.

But the NCAA Tournament is not going to be played in the Carrier Dome. And it’s one of those things by the committee, they reward road performance and frankly tons of teams are just home court heroes and that’s exactly what Syracuse is right now until it proves it can win somewhere other than its own campus. …

I think if they get in without doing anything in the ACC tournament, it’s going to be a reflection of quality, or lack thereof, of the edge of the field. And if they don’t get in, it’s going to be very clear as to why they don’t get in. pmschwed@syr.edu | @pschweds

season. Georgia Tech won eight conference games a year ago, but when Pastner took over in April, he was told by coaches in the league that this was a rebuilding year.

But a 75-63 upset over North Carolina in December, followed by a 22-point rout of No. 6 Florida State last month, pushed the Yellow Jackets to the middle of the conference pack. A few days later, they beat No. 14 Notre Dame on a buzzer-beating layup. The unranked Yellow Jackets, who beat Syracuse 71-65 at home on Feb. 19, are now in NCAA Tournament contention. Georgia Tech is an inexperienced team with little depth that could punch a ticket to its first NCAA Tournament since 2010 if it beats Pittsburgh on Tuesday or Syracuse on Saturday.

“That we’re even mentioned or even talking about being .500 in probably the greatest year this league has ever had,” Pastner said, “I literally think it’s a modern miracle.” mguti100@syr.edu | @MatthewGut21 mcschnei@syr.edu | @mattschneidman

Asa Goldstock struggles in net in No. 4 SU’s slim victory

By Matt Liberman staff writer

Asa Goldstock thought Taylor Gait was open.

With just over four minutes left in the game, and the score stuck at 11-11, Goldstock came out of her crease and crept toward to the 25-yard line and scanned the field for options. Gait called for the ball ahead seven yards on her right. Goldstock lofted a weak ball in Gait’s direction when Albany attacker Dakotah Savitcheff sprinted in.

Savitcheff collided with Gait and the ball fell. Gait stood stunned as Savitcheff scooped the ground ball and raced toward a backtracking Goldstock. The goalie attempted one defensive move, but Savitcheff fired over her stick into the empty and Albany’s first lead.

“How easy was that?” Albany head coach John Battaglino said. “How easy was that?”

The error led to a 12-11 Great Danes lead and nearly cost Syracuse the game, but the Orange wrested back control with two lead changes in the final four-and-a-half minutes. No. 4 SU (5-0, 1-0 Atlantic Coast) outlasted Albany (2-2), 13-12, on Monday night. Goldstock saved a season-low 40 percent of the shots she saw. Things won’t get easier because SU’s next game comes against its first ranked opponent in No. 11 Northwestern.

“Their offense was executing very well,” Syracuse head coach Gary Gait said. “They got great scoring opportunities from the inside …

They were well prepared.”

Goldstock started strong, shaking off an Albany goal just under six minutes in to save the next three balls shot at her. She made acrobatic

stops, including a post-to-post dive to stonewall a bottom right corner shot from Emma Powlin.

Syracuse went into the break leading 7-4 because of Goldstock’s three first-half saves, though soon she would struggle..

Just 38 seconds after halftime, Sam Tortora beat her defender, sprinted across the cage and tucked the ball in under Goldstock’s glove. Just over three minutes later, Powlin beat Goldstock for another unassisted goal and though Syracuse answered twice to maintain a three-goal lead, it was then that Goldstock completely broke down.

In a five-minute stretch, starting at 18:52,

Goldstock allowed four goals. Kenzie Neal scored the first of those four. The senior attacker bull-rushed the goal. Goldstock hit a driving Neal on the head with her stick, but Neal powered through the contact and snuck the ball in the top right corner of the net.

“It’s all about forgetting the last play,” Goldstock said. “Forgetting the mistakes and moving forward.”

But you can’t forget mistakes that keep happening. Two minutes later, Goldstock bit on a Kaylee Rickert fake and the Great Dane midfielder bounced a ball through Goldstock’s legs

ASA GOLDSTOCK had a season-low save percentage on Monday night. She was bailed out by the Syracuse offense which scored 14 goals. ally moreo photo editor

to tie the game at nine and become the sixth different Albany player to score.

For the next 10 minutes, the two teams traded blows until Goldstock made her biggest error with four minutes to go.

Racing out to the midfield is something Goldstock said she does every game. Sometimes it works, other times not as much. On Monday came the latter. It nearly cost SU the game.

“It was honestly terrifying,” Savitcheff said.

“There was a lot of pressure to score.”

Luckily for Goldstock, Nicole Levy notched her sixth goal on a free-position shot, something Goldstock only faced one time as compared to Albany, who suffered through 15.

“It was relieving,” Goldstock said of Levy’s goal that tied the game at 12. “I knew Nicole was gonna finish or some attacker was gonna finish.”

Goldstock needed to keep the score level, and she faced her most important test with 41 seconds left. Emily Mizer launched a low ball for the left side of the cage from outside. Goldstock dropped to one knee and pinned the ball before scooping it for the outlet pass.

Goldstock allowed 12 goals and collected only eight saves, but she also had the most important one of her young career.

When SU called a timeout eight seconds later, the entire team paraded over to Goldstock. Taylor Gait patted her helmet. Neither player nor coach remembered the exact wording of what Gait said, but Goldstock had an idea.

“He probably said, ‘You finally made a save,’” Goldstock said, “‘so good job.’” mdliberm@syr.edu

Bracketologist: SU ‘just outside’ NCAA field

By Paul Schwedelson senior staff writer

Syracuse (17-13, 9-8 Atlantic Coast) has just one regular season game left — on Saturday against Georgia Tech at home — and then will travel to Brooklyn for the ACC tournament. This will be the Orange’s last chance to improve its NCAA Tournament odds before Selection Sunday on March 12. SU has beaten three Top 10 teams but is 2-10 in games outside the Carrier Dome.

To get a read on where SU stands, The Daily Orange spoke with bracketologist Patrick Stevens. His projections appear in The Washington Post and, in 2014, he was the only bracketologist, out of 121, to correctly pick all 68 teams in the field.

The following conversation has been edited for clarity.

After Syracuse’s loss at Louisville on Sunday, where do you project the Orange?

Patrick Stevens: I have Syracuse as the first team just outside the Dance. You look at them and yeah, they’ve beaten some good teams: Florida State, Duke, Virginia, Miami. There are some really good wins. But they haven’t done anything away from home. And now they’re basically down to you better do something in Brooklyn if they are going to do anything of any substance away from home.

This is a weird year because the edge of the field is as weak as it is.

We’re talking about play-in-type teams like Kansas State, Rhode Island, Providence and Marquette at this point. And if you size up the

Orange:

high-end victories, (Syracuse is) going to trump those teams. … When I look at Syracuse, when you’re really trying to parse those last few spots, you look for things that distinguish a team for good or for bad. The fact Syracuse hasn’t beaten anybody of substance away from home, it’s something that remains an outlier for them and not in a good way. I think getting to Brooklyn and doing something once they’re there is going to be a priority.

The D.O.: How much did Syracuse’s resume took a hit with Sunday’s loss at Louisville?

P.S.: It’s more a lost opportunity than a hit. If you said to anybody that Team A is going to Louisville and will lose, well, yeah, just about everybody’s going to go to Louisville and lose. I don’t consider it particularly insulting that they

didn’t do that. The only team that’s won at Louisville has been Virginia. Syracuse’s problem is cumulative. Not only did it not win at Louisville, it didn’t win at Carolina, it didn’t win at Notre Dame, it didn’t beat South Carolina in Brooklyn, it didn’t win at Wisconsin, it didn’t win at Virginia Tech. You just had to get somebody. They just haven’t taken advantage of those chances.

It’s not so much that they lost to Louisville, because Louisville is really good. It’s that that last true road opportunity slipped away and now they have to do something once they get to Brooklyn.

I do just want to double back and point out it’s a weird year and the edge of the field is really weak. While I think this road issue is going to bite them in the butt, it’s possible see bracketology page 14

Syracuse has one regular season game left to bolster its NCAA Tournament resume ahead of next week’s ACC tournament at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York. Following a buzzer-beating win against then-No. 10 Duke, Syracuse (17-13, 9-8 Atlantic Coast) suffered its worst defeat in conference play since joining the ACC thanks to a 20-point clobbering at the hands of then-No. 7 Louisville.

SU next faces Georgia Tech (16-13, 7-9) on Senior Day in the Carrier Dome Saturday at 4 p.m.

Five days out of the teams’ second matchup in two weeks, here were three talking points from Orange head coach Jim Boeheim and GT head coach Josh Pastner.

Despite precarious bubble position, Boeheim maintains he doesn’t think about it

The SU head coach has reiterated time and time again that he doesn’t think about the NCAA Tournament and Syracuse’s potential standing in it until the field of 68 is released.

This year SU presumably finds itself on the bubble again, with a 17-13 record but five wins at home against teams that will be in the Tournament or are on the bubble – Miami, Florida State, Wake Forest, Virginia and Duke.

There’s one more chance for a home win on Saturday against the Yellow Jackets, and two losses to a fellow bubble team would likely inflict significant damage on Syracuse’s Tournament hopes and force the Orange out of a first-round bye in the conference tournament.

Still, Boeheim insists on pondering only what his team can control.

“I don’t think about that, I’m not concerned about that,” Boeheim said regarding what’s at stake in Saturday’s game. “…We had five games in 15 days … What happens outside of that is not something we have any control of.”

Beyond Saturday, the ACC tournament will be one to remember — at least on paper

With the ACC potentially being the deepest conference in college basketball history when it comes to bids in the NCAA Tournament, next week’s five-day event in Brooklyn should be nothing short of entertaining.

Eleven teams are alive for berths in the field of 68, with eight already likely locks. Syracuse, Georgia Tech see teleconference page 14
