Cassandra Couwenberg’s dream of filming a concert by The Chainsmokers came true last year when the duo came to perform at Syracuse University’s 2016 Block Party.

Couwenberg, a junior television, radio and film major, has been involved with music videography since her freshman year. She joked as she explained how her original plan was to become a doctor, but after realizing how long she’d have to go to school, she went for the creative route.

For Couwenberg, SU offered everything she could have wanted, including a minor in music industry.

“I didn’t want to be in the middle of nowhere,” she said. “I wanted to be by some city-esque place where there will be shows or there will be some kind of culture, and Syracuse had that.”

During her freshman year, Couwenberg joined Loud and Clear, a student-run video production club. If you’ve ever seen a Mayfest or Juice Jam video, chances are Loud and Clear were the masterminds who put it together.

She now serves as the organization’s executive producer. She is in charge of sending crew members to cover concerts, running pitch meetings, researching and finding artists and directing on set.

Last fall, Couwenberg enrolled in a 360-degree virtual reality course where she was exposed to the power of VR storytelling.

I was in that class was, ‘I want to be next to my favorite artist,’” she said.

This led her to start a VR department for Loud and Clear, where she now teaches new members 360-degree video skills. This class also inspired her first VR experience with Sky Club, a student band. She made a 360-degree video where the viewer can travel from the band’s home recording studio in their dorm

to their mastering studio, and eventually make it to a concert.

Having been to more than 100 concerts, Couwenberg says VR is the future of music.

“It’s the perfect way to immerse someone into some kind of feeling, and that’s what music is about,” she said. “It’s about making someone feel a certain way.”

Although she’s majoring in the

S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications, Couwenberg attributes most of her passions and skills to the College of Visual and Performing Arts. She says VPA and her friends in her minor have really developed her creative pursuits.

Above all, Couwenberg lives by one motto.

“Power moves only,” she said.

STUDENT ASSOCIATION

President to learn outcome

By Michael Burke news editor

Hungry Chuck’s, a bar on South Crouse Avenue popular with Syracuse University students, is at risk of being demolished. But even if that happens, it is likely that the bar will eventually re-open at its current location and remain there long term. daily orange file photo

CITY

Proposal to demolish Chuck’s goes to vote

By Jacob Gedetsis enterprise editor

The student-favorite bar Hungry Chuck’s is likely to remain in the Syracuse University area in the long-term, even if the city approves a proposal to demolish it.

BLVD Equities, a real estate development firm based in New Jersey and managed by SU alumni Jared Hutter and Brian Rosen, has proposed demolishing the structures at 727 S. Crouse Ave. — where Hungry Chuck’s and a string of local businesses are located — and constructing an eight-story “mixed use building.”

The Syracuse Planning Commission tabled a vote on the proposal after a lengthy public hearing in January. The commission will review and vote on the proposal Monday night. A time-

line for the project, if approved, is currently unknown.

News of the proposal circulated in January and made waves on social media, where SU community members expressed dismay over the potential demolition.

But Stephen Theobald, owner of Chuck’s, has been in constant communication with the project leaders and plans to move into the new space if the proposal is approved.

The project, currently being called Campus Plaza, would include 20,000 square feet of retail on the first floor in addition to residential apartments on the upper floors.

The major point of contention with the project is a zoning law that requires a set number of parking spots to be available for parking and retail spaces. The proposed project would normally require 227 total parking spots

in the immediate area, but the developers asked the commission to wave that number to zero.

20,000 Square footage of retail space in the proposed building plan for South Crouse Avenue

Hutter said his company has secured a “significant amount” of off-site parking spaces that would be available to residents if they want that option. He declined to go into further detail.

The project aims to help revitalize the area, he added.

“There might be a little pain in the short term, but we aren’t just thinking about this over a year

or two. We are thinking about the next five years, 10 years, 20 years,” Hutter said. “How does this building fit into the landscape of Syracuse?”

W hen Theobald bought Chuck’s in 2012, there were talks that the current property owner, The Woodbine Group, would be embarking on a similar project as BLVD Equities.

That plan, though, never came to fruition.

Chuck’s had been left in a space of limbo, with Theobald not knowing whether he should put more money into a space that could be demolished. But he said Hutter contacted him about a year ago and that they have worked closely throughout the process.

Theobald said the next phase of Chuck’s, if the proposal is approved, see chuck’s page 4

STUDENT ASSOCIATION

Theft, vandalism halt expansion of program

By Jordan Muller staff writer

The Syracuse University Student Association is halting the expansion of its menstrual hygiene program this semester, citing issues with theft and vandalism.

SA is working with the SU Physical Plant to come up with solutions to those issues, but a formal timeline for the program’s future expansion has not been set.

At the SA meeting on Jan. 31, SA Vice President Joyce LaLonde

The Student Association’s Judicial Review Board on Monday will determine whether SA President Eric Evangelista violated SA’s constitution by appointing a cabinet member without opening applications to the student body.

That decision was originally expected to come on Friday, but JRB chair Abdulaziz Al-Sulaiti said in a text message that the JRB pushed its deadline to Monday. The decision will be made prior to SA’s assembly meeting at 7:30 p.m. in Maxwell Auditorium, Al-Sulaiti added.

Evangelista allegedly violated the SA constitution by not acting on the assembly’s request to send a campuswide email calling for applications for the public relations co-chair position, according to a copy of the violation notice obtained by The Daily Orange.

Evangelista originally appointed a student to that position without opening applications to the student body.

The violation notice states that not following through with a request made by the assembly is a “clear Constitutional violation per Article

said the program’s menstrual product caddies and signs were being stolen from some campus restrooms. She said the program will not expand to other campus buildings this semester.

“We just have to come up with a better system before rolling the program out further,” LaLonde said at the meeting.

SA began piloting the menstrual hygiene program in five buildings in November. Tampons and menstrual pads are available to students at no cost in men’s

and women’s restrooms in Schine Student Center, E.S. Bird Library, the Life Sciences Complex, Huntington Beard Crouse Hall and the Hall of Languages.

Anjani Ladhar, co-chair of SA’s student life committee, said there have been incidents of theft and vandalism to product caddies and signs in Bird Library. The program has been running well in other locations, like Schine Student Center, Ladhar said. But SA will work to fix the theft problems before moving the program into

other buildings, Ladhar added.

Ladhar said SA’s original goal was to expand the program to all campus restrooms after the initial five-building pilot. In addition to the vandalism problems, she said the program’s expansion was put on hold because SA cannot afford to sustain a school-wide program.

SA currently covers the cost of buying and stocking the products, but Ladhar said she hopes the university will provide the funds to grow the program next year. see hygiene page 4

Weekend news round-up: What you might have missed

By The Daily Orange News Staff

Here is a round-up of Syracuse Universityrelated news that you might have missed over the weekend:

Title IX investigation closed

A Title IX investigation into SU has been closed because the complaint was withdrawn, according to an email to university leadership obtained by The Daily Orange. A graduate student had claimed she was subject to a hostile work environment in her academic department but has since withdrawn that complaint.

SU’s Interim Associate Vice President and Chief Equal Opportunity Officer Sheila Johnson-Willis informed university leadership of the case status on Thursday.

A separate federal investigation into SU for its handling of a sexual assault case remains open.

That case, in which a former student filed a com-

plaint against the university for mishandling a sexual assault report, was opened in June 2016.

Students march down promenade for refugees

Approximately 100 students marched down the University Place promenade on Thursday afternoon in protest against President Donald Trump’s executive order banning refugees from entering the United States for 120 days.

The mandate also blocked travelers from seven Muslim-majority countries for 90 days.

Multiple SU student organizations came together to organize the protest, which ended with a sit-in and series of speeches in the Life Sciences Complex. Participants addressed their safety concerns as a result of Trump’s order, solidarity in resisting the Trump administration through activism and supporting refugees in Syracuse.

Some student leaders also made calls to

action. One speaker took a five-minute break in the program to give students the chance to call their senators, and another described options for volunteering with refugees in the Syracuse community.

Both the Graduate Student Organization and the Student Association have passed bills calling for the university to officially declare itself a sanctuary campus, meaning the university would not comply with federal immigration officials in revealing the immigration status of students.

University to host information sessions on executive order

The Office of the General Counsel attorneys and Sluztker Center staff will be available to discuss President Donald Trump’s executive order restricting travel from certain countries during two university-sponsored information sessions, SU announced Friday.

In an email sent to the university community Friday afternoon, officials said the Campus Open Houses sessions will be held Tuesday from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. and from 4 to 6 p.m. at the Slutzker Center for International Services on 310 Walnut Place.

Officials said in the email the sessions are part of the university’s efforts to support individuals potentially affected by the order, as it includes student visa holders. As a direct consequence of the order, 50 SU students from the banned countries have been advised by the Sluztker Center not to travel out of the country because they wouldn’t be allowed to return.

On Friday, a Federal District Court in Seattle blocked the executive order nationwide and a federal appeals court overturned an appeal from the Justice Department on Sunday. This means the ban is currently not enforceable.

Professors earn Air Force grant to continue prior research

By Kenneth Mintz staff writer

Three professors from Syracuse University’s College of Engineering and Computer Science have received a grant from the United States Air Force Office of Scientific Research to process large, complex data sets.

Associate Professor Jian Tang, Professor Biao Chen and Distinguished Professor Pramod Varshney together received a $295,000 grant from the Air Force. The grant will allow them to purchase graphics processing units, commonly known as GPUs. “Of course we were excited and very happy because it’s a recognition of our capabilities and the line of research work that we are doing,” Varshney said. “And we are also excited to advance the state of technology and the state of knowledge.”

evangelista IV (4.2) which states: The President shall be responsible for executing the decisions of the Assembly.” Al-Sulaiti said following SA’s meeting on Jan. 30 that Evangelista committed a “potential constitutional violation.”

Evangelista in January nominated Nicole Sherwood, a senior public relations major, to co-chair of public relations with-

hygiene Keelan Erhard, SA’s other student life cochair and a founder of the menstrual hygiene program, said he met with officials at the SU Physical Plant, which oversees custodial staff, to discuss ways to improve the program.

Erhard said it is difficult to address the vandalism problems without significant costs. Installing product dispensers could

This equipment-focused grant builds off a smaller, research-based grant awarded to a team of professors about a year ago, also from the Air Force. The new grant will provide researchers with the equipment necessary to manipulate massive data sets, Varshney said.

He added that the graphics processing units are more complex and efficient in comparison to data software such as Microsoft Excel. The units are often used to process visuals intended for output on devices including cell phones, personal computers and video game consoles.

“Data fusion is coming from multiple sensors in a system, and we find out information from them,” said Tang, the principal investigator for the equipment grant. “It’s like a camera taking multiple angles of a car, and then you can fuse the data and get a big picture of what the car looks like.”

Tang said this is the first research of its out opening applications to the student body. At SA’s first meeting of the semester on Jan. 23, assembly members voted unanimously to table Sherwood’s confirmation until a formal application could be distributed to the student body.

Evangelista then allegedly violated the SA constitution by ignoring the assembly’s request to send an email calling for applications a week prior to the following assembly meeting, held Jan. 30. mdburk01@syr.edu | @michaelburke47

cost at least $300 per bathroom, he said.

“We’re looking at recreating our signage to encourage students to be more respectful of the initiative,” Erhard said.

Despite setbacks this semester, Erhard and Ladhar said they are confident the program will expand in the coming years.

“I’m hoping the future student life chairs and the administration see the value of free menstrual products, and work to help expand the program next year,” Erhard said. jmulle01@syr.edu

kind. He said the group has already decided how it will allocate the money: With the $295,000, they plan to purchase nine GPUs, he said, and each will be equipped with the most advanced GPU built for machine learning.

The systems can shuffle through enormous data sets and find anomalies or errors, Varshney said. Although the research is intended to support the United States’ armed forces, the same work can be applied to civilian and commercial applications. It can be used in health care, for example, to detect changes and protect patients, Varshney said. The technology can also be used to prevent drone collisions.

The three professors involved with the equipment grant have been doing similar work for many years, including Varshney, who has been working in the field for 41 years. He is also a former president of the International Society of Information Fusion.

chuck’s will be a “historic preservation project,” as he will try to replicate the room as much as possible through its layout, furniture and decor.

He is also considering rehanging sections of the walls to help preserve the decades of signatures splattered on the bar’s surface.

“At the end of the day, it’s the students that make the room what it is. We are here, we make the beer cold ... but we are just hosts,” Theobald said.

Not every business owner on South Crouse Avenue, though, has been in close communication with the developers.

Funk ’n Waffles owner Adam Gold just celebrated the restaurant’s 10-year anniversary serving breakfast and music on the Hill, but its future there is unknown. Gold said he wants to maintain a presence in the area and would be open to moving into the new retail space.

Gold said the structure has a laundry list of problems: Its roof leaks, and it’s not wheelchair accessible, he said. He also said the proposal would positively change “the scariest part of the Marshall Street area,” but that it would still be hard to see the space be demolished.

“It’s definitely a sentimental thing, and I have a hard time even conceptualizing that at some point we might have to leave, and get moving trucks, and gut the place,” Gold said. “That’s going to be a pretty tough thing to do.”

Hutter, BLVD Equities partner, plans to attract local businesses, but also said he is looking to add a national restaurant to the retail’s first floor. Because of the location’s slow season, national chains have had mixed results in the Marshall Street area. Fast food giants including Burger King and McDonald’s only survived short stints, but there are a few nationals currently in business.

Jerry Dellas, owner of Varsity Pizza and Faegan’s Pub, said he and his family have seen many businesses come and go during their 90-plus years on the Hill.

“I think now that there’s residential above these commercial spaces, they’ll be more apt to survive,” said Dellas, president of the

Chen has been at the university for 17 years, and Tang said he brings a different perspective to the group because he comes from a computer systems background and not an information fusion background. The research portion will also involve Associate Professor Yingbin Liang and staff at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.

The Air Force will build an application on top of the staff’s computational platform. The professors will test, evaluate and report on their findings, resulting in the first distributed GPU-accelerated platform of its nature.

“We can come up with solutions now that we have so much experience in solving problems,” Varshney said. “That helps us in making scientific contributions. This enables us to have doctoral students to support. We are able to supervise and mentor the next generation of researchers.” kmintz@syr.edu

Crouse-Marshall Business Association.

Dellas also owns the property that is currently rented by Orange Crate Brewing Company and SEFCU, a credit union, and that would be sold to BLVD Equities in the proposal.

He said the proposal “sets the tone” for the future development of the region, and that his family has been in early talks with BLVD Equities about a possible development plan on the family’s other Marshall Street properties.

At the end of the day, it’s the students that make the room what it is.

Stephen Theobald owner of hungry chuck’s

Dellas and Hutter said the development lines up with infrastructure and improvement efforts in SU’s Campus Framework plan. The overall mission of the framework influenced the current proposal, Hutter said.

Kevin Quinn, senior vice president for public affairs at SU, said in a statement to The Daily Orange that the university monitors and assesses developments close to campus.

“The University continues to believe a vibrant University Hill and East neighborhood are important for our city and region.

Given this importance, both neighborhoods will benefit from balanced, sustained, and carefully planned new development,” he said in the statement.

Hutter said the project would “elevate Syracuse University dramatically.”

“The area will get cleaned up, and that trickles down to the students,” he said.

Seeking protection

SUNY-ESF students fear President Donald Trump’s immigration ban could affect campus life Text by Mary Catalfamo contributing writer

Illustration by Emmy Gnat head illustrator

S

tudents at SUNY-ESF have asked that the university do what it can to protect students affected by United States President Donald Trump’s executive order banning immigration from seven Muslimmajority countries.

There are nine students at the State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry that would be directly impacted by the ban, said Mark Lichtenstein, the director of sustainability at SUNY-ESF. SUN Y-ESF’s Division of Student Affairs and the Office of International Education hosted an “international community discussion” on Wednesday for all SUNY-ESF students to share their thoughts about the recent executive order. Interim Provost Valerie Luzadis and President Quentin W heeler, along with other administrators and faculty members, attended the event.

A U.S. federal judge in Seattle has since temporarily blocked the enforcement of the travel ban. Trump signed the controversial order on Jan. 27 that prevents people from Syria, Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen from entering the country for the next 90 days, and all refugee admissions for 120 days. This order also includes those with student visas.

A little over a dozen international students at SUNY-ESF shared their stories, confusions and fears of persecution in the U.S. after the ban was announced. They asked Kevin Hayden, a lawyer representing the SUNY system who was in attendance, questions about the ban’s impact, and told their concerns for the future.

Several students at the discussion said that although colleges can’t do anything to change the executive order, they should protecting their students.

Number of students at SUNY-ESF affected by the travel ban “We’re working every day so we can become as supportive as possible,” Wheeler said at the discussion.

Benjamin Taylor, the president of SUNYESF’s Undergraduate Student Association, said in a separate interview before the event that he expects the executive order will have negative repercussions particularly to SUNY-ESF because the college is focused on sustainability.

One of the SUNY-ESF’s main concerns, Taylor added, is the free flow of ideas.

“Science has no boundaries to religion,

race or origin,” he said. “The movement of people comes with the movement of ideas and collaboration. That’s being hampered when you say we can’t have people from these countries.”

While the Undergraduate Student Association is not currently pushing through any resolutions regarding the travel ban, Taylor said he believes the student body generally opposes the travel ban on the basis of it being “strictly discriminatory towards people specifically of the Muslim faith.”

SUNY is also in the process of reviewing Trump’s executive order and its impact on the entirety of the state school system.

There are 64 schools in the system, including SUNY-ESF. There are 22,140 international students enrolled at SUNY schools, 320 of which are from the countries that were originally blocked from entry into the U.S. before the judge’s Friday ruling.

In a statement released last Sunday announcing the university-wide survey, SUNY Board Chairman H. Carl McCall and Chancellor Nancy L. Zimpher said they remain committed to diversity, equity and inclusion, and pledged that the university leadership and police will “do all we can” to protect students, faculty and staff affected by the ban as long as it is within the law.

The statement also advised that international students from the seven countries affected by the ban should refrain from traveling outside of the U.S. mdcatalf@syr.edu

How brick-and-mortar retail in Syracuse can survive in online era

N

owadays, something seems off if a week goes by and there isn’t another article about a brick-and-mortar retail company closing its doors. Store closures have become the new norm.

Global mega retailer Macy’s recently announced it is slated to close about 15 percent of its locations in the United States.

The Macy’s store in Clay’s Great Northern Mall, which is located about 20 minutes from Syracuse University’s campus, will close April 18. Closer to home, one of Destiny USA’s clothing stores, Wet Seal, will soon shut down, two years after the retailer first declared bankruptcy. The mall’s Hallmark Gold Crown closed its doors less than two weeks ago.

And one of its original clothing stores, The Limited, closed shop in December.

There are numerous examples of retailers closing nationwide, with many locations in the Syracuse area, raising the question of what it takes for a retail store to survive in a digital age. The answer is bringing the traits of the physical experience to the virtual online space and

DANIEL STRAUSS

IT’S CHANGING building on brand identity.

For the past 30 years, the main strategy retailers have used to grow revenues is opening new store locations. With so many retailers in direct competition with one another, many companies felt they had to expand to compete — and ultimately survive. The overexpansion created a ticking time bomb, and the emergence of online shopping set it off.

“There are a couple of reasons for the increase in store closures,” said Ray Wimer, professor of retail practice in the Martin J. Whitman School of Management at SU. “The retail environment has been overstored for quite sometime and the rise of e-commerce is impacting in store sales.”

As the consumer preference has shifted from in-person to online shopping, competitive new companies have emerged. The vast amount of resources and tools the

web offers has given independent brands the opportunity to expand their businesses. Micro-brands that sell their products exclusively online have also emerged and are competing with large retailers for business.

Despite the issues retailers are facing, there are ways for these companies to weather the storm. Online sales have been pulling customers away from brick-and-mortar shopping, but retailers have developed ways to pull them back.

One method retailers are using to attract customers is the omnichannel strategy. The goal of an omni-channel strategy is to provide customers with a seamless retail experience no matter where they are shopping from — whether it’s online or in the store — and this is exactly the beginning of the path toward in-store and online unity more companies should be willing to embrace.

As part of this strategy, retailers are starting to offer the option for customers to order online and pick up their purchase in stores.

This helps brings customers into the store, which opens up the opportunity to expand the

CUSEREALESTATE.COM ONLY A FEW LEFT

customer’s initial purchase.

The primary goal of the omni-channel strategy is to add to the online sale with an in-store purchase. The idea is that the customer may see another item that they are interested in purchasing by coming into the physical store. This also provides the company with a safety net opportunity, so if customers don’t like the original product they ordered, they have the opportunity to swap out that product for a different one within the store.

Retailers are also scaling back retail space in order to cut costs.

There is about 23 square feet of retail space per person in the U.S., according to Cushman & Wakefield’s Global Cities Retail Guide. This is double the retail space that exists in Canada and Europe, according to the guide.

Retailers are not making enough money to keep up with the cost of owning such large spaces. To offset that cost, many retailers are exploring the option of reducing the size of their stores so they can afford to keep them open.

The omni-channel strategy is

helping to bring some customers into the store, but there needs to be a new approach developed to the brick-and-mortar retail business. Companies should look deep into their brand’s history and create experiences for their customers that revolve less around their products and more around the lifestyle of their customers, and offer this experience in the store.

In the future, the proportion of retail sales from brick-and-mortar locations and online is going to flip.

Online sales are going to outpace brick-and-mortar retail sales, but this doesn’t mean that online shopping will entirely replace brick-and-mortar stores.

Physical locations are the hubs of how these retail brands have developed since their inception.

The key for companies to survive will be how they can integrate their online experience to represent the same thing.

JIM BOEHEIM walked into the tunnel after Syracuse’s upset over No. 9 Virginia to a standing ovation. Saturday centered around his historic milestone, clear to all who looked away from the NCAA’s record book: 1,000 career wins. jessica sheldon staff photographer

Stain of NCAA sanctions hidden by celebration

N

othing about the way Syracuse celebrated Saturday’s win against Virginia was sanctioned.

Fans spilled onto the court, parading 1,000-win signs and harmful words about the NCAA. The rest of the Carrier Dome joined in a standing ovation.

Jim Boeheim slowly navigated through the celebration, holding both hands in the air as he soaked in every bit of a deserved celebration. The 41-year head coach offered high-fives to low-hanging hands before entering a Carrier Dome tunnel, where he met Mike Hopkins with a hug.

This wasn’t about Boeheim’s official 899th win, or even Syracuse’s big upset. Saturday centered around a historic milestone, clear to all who looked away from the NCAA’s record book: 1,000 career wins.

“Whatever number it is I have, I’ve been a part of 1,000 wins here,” Boeheim told ESPN after the game.

“We may not have that many on the record, but I’ve been here for 1,000 wins. That’s a lot of wins.”

Since SU is barred from acknowledging Boeheim’s unofficial accomplishment, there was no ceremony or announcement about what was unfolding after the Orange toppled No. 9 Virginia. Syracuse fans didn’t need one. The euphoria in the Carrier Dome was purely organic.

Despite a mighty effort from the NCA A to knock Boeheim down the coaching ranks by vacating 101 wins, there was no getting in the way of Syracuse fans savoring an all-time moment with their all-time coach.

CONNOR GROSSMAN

WEST COAST BIAS

Saturday proved that the NCAA’s witch-hunt to make an example out of Boeheim and “lack of institutional control” was for naught. While SU deserved punishment for violating NCAA rules, stripping Boeheim of wins across five seasons did not strip anybody’s perception of reality.

Taking an eraser to the record book might mean something to folks at NCAA headquarters in Indianapolis, but in Syracuse, it means absolutely nothing.

“I know how many wins I’ve had,” Boeheim said. “I’m very proud of that.

Very proud.”

In an alternate universe the NCAA wants us to live in, Boeheim is one win away from achieving 900 career victories. He did it initially more than four years ago, reaffirming 899 wins as an alternative fact. Boeheim has dealt 1,000 losses to opponents, but has not accrued that many wins.

That’s the product of a years-long NCAA investigation that culminated in a 94-page infractions report released on March 6, 2015. Stemming from Boeheim’s overall “lack of institutional control,” Syracuse lost wins, scholarships and money.

What wasn’t explicitly mentioned is the gag order placed on Boeheim.

He has no footing to publicly disagree with the NCAA’s punishments without facing repercussions. That’s led to an

awkward mess of responses for nearly two years, the most tangible byproduct of the NCAA sanctions, and the only remnant of the sanctions on Saturday.

“I don’t really talk about that stuff,” Boeheim said when asked if there was extra satisfaction in reaching the 1,000-win plateau.

Boeheim’s been coerced into playing dumb, something he’s not particularly good at doing. Because the NCAA wants to pretend certain events never transpired, Boeheim has to do the same. That’s why he insisted the crowd was so instrumental in SU’s win over the Cavaliers, he had to take extra time to walk off the floor and salute them.

When asked why fans might have been cheering so long, even with some extra “oomph,” Boeheim claimed he wasn’t a mind reader.

There’s no way of knowing how or why the cheers persisted as they did. Then came the topper. Hadn’t Boeheim seen the congratulatory signs held up in the crowd?

“I can’t see that far away,” the 72-year-old said.

Even Boeheim’s personal security guard, Department of Public Safety Sergeant Andy Clary, was in on the bit after he ushered Boeheim through the on-court circus.

“It was just like any other game,” Clary said, with a smile spreading across his face.

There’s hardly any blame to lay with Boeheim for his antics. He shouldn’t have to act sensibly when the governing body of his sport claims see grossman page 10

National Champs

1,000*

On April 7, 2003, Carmelo Anthony led Syracuse to an 81-78 victory over Kansas, giving Boeheim his lone national title. SU has since reached two Final Fours, both in the last four years.

Boeheim said he entered Saturday’s game against No. 9 Virginia more concerned about Syracuse getting its 15th win of the season, rather than the unofficial 1,000th of his 41-year career.

When Jim Boeheim took the helm at SU, Gerald Ford was president. Here’s a look at some of his most recent memorable moments leading up to his unofficial 1,000th win.

700

Boeheim got his 700th win in February 2005 with No. 15 Syracuse’s 91-66 Big East Conference victory over Providence. More than 32,800 fans inside the Carrier Dome gave him a standing ovation.

800

When he won his 800th career game on Nov. 10, 2009, Boeheim became the eighth coach in Division I history to reach the 800win mark, joining Duke’s Mike Krzyzewski, among others.

dailyorange.com sports@dailyorange.com

900 A 72-68 victory over Detroit gave Boeheim his 900th career win in his 37th year at the only school he’s ever coached. He became the third coach in NCAA history to reach 900 career wins.

1,000*

Boeheim, who may retire at the end of the 2017-18 season, earned his unoffical 1,000th career victory on Saturday behind Syracuse’s 44 second-half points against the No. 9 Cavaliers.

Boeheim on 1,000* wins: ‘I know how many wins I’ve had’

By Connor Grossman senior staff writer

With the Carrier Dome court swallowed by a sea of Syracuse fans, Jim Boeheim took his time leaving the floor. As he passed by several signs with his name juxtaposed next to the number 1,000, he stopped to give high-fives before disappearing into the tunnel.

The crowd showered him with cheers as he soaked in the only public moment he was allowed to acknowledge a milestone that won’t be printed on anything produced by Syracuse University. It wasn’t long before he was standing behind a podium, dancing around questions focused on his unofficial 1,000th career win.

“I don’t really talk about that stuff,” SU’s head coach said. “I’m happy that we got to 15 (wins this season).

“I know how many wins I’ve had. I’m very proud of that. Very proud.”

Boeheim had no choice but to play coy about his 1,000th win, a product of the Orange’s (15-9, 7-4 Atlantic Coast) upset over No. 9 Virginia (17-5, 7-3), which will not officially be remembered as a landmark victory. The NCAA vacated 101 wins from Boeheim’s coaching record on March 6, 2015, when it pegged SU for a flurry of violations over several years that was summed up as a “lack of institutional control” on Boeheim’s part.

In the eyes of the NCAA, this was Boeheim’s 899th career win. In the eyes of most every other spectator in the Carrier Dome on Saturday afternoon, what from page 7

grossman that 101 of his victories never existed.

“He did it,” Hopkins said with a quiet laugh. “He did it.”

Fortunately, in the 45-second ovation after the Orange’s biggest win of the season, needless NCAA politics didn’t matter. Nei-

unfolded after the buzzer was a celebration of Boeheim joining elite coaching company.

Unofficially, he joins Duke head coach Mike Krzyzewski, Stanford women’s basketball head coach Tara VanDerveer and former Tennessee women’s basketball head coach Pat Summitt as the only college basketball coaches to ever win 1,000 games.

“The number I’m concerned about going into today was 15,” Boeheim said. “We had to get to 15 today. We’ve got tough road games ahead of us. Tough home games ahead of us.

We have to win every chance we get.”

For an SU team that starts four players in their first year with the program, experience is hard to come by when giving a quick glance at the roster. Tyler Roberson and Dajuan Coleman are the only seniors on the team to play their entire careers under Boeheim.

Both players have experienced a Final Four, played on a No. 1 team and been affected by a self-imposed postseason ban in 2013-14.

That’s a lot to digest, Roberson noted, even in the grand scheme of a 41-year coaching career.

“It’s cool being here four years and seeing everything that’s happened to the program,” Roberson said. “The ups and downs, now finally seeing him get his 1,000 wins is meaningful.

“He earned it.”

As reporters continued to fling questions at Boeheim about the postgame circus on the court, whether he felt there was extra “oomph” or a different feel to the celebration, the head coach finally peeled off the proverbial muzzle placed on him by the NCAA. He wasn’t about to disclose his personal feelings about his career win total having an asterisk next to it, but he took on the

perspective of the fans. The fans who plastered playful cutouts of his face on signs, and vigorously waved at him like they’d never get another glimpse of the iconic head coach.

Boeheim knows what they all know: He’s won 1,000 games as Syracuse’s head coach.

“The people here feel that we should not have lost those wins. That’s probably the way all fans would feel,” Boeheim said. “There was obviously some question whether some of those or all of those should’ve been taken. But, they have.”

ther did the infractions report or how he was going to dance around reporter’s questions.

What mattered is that the moment existed, however fleeting it might have been. Boeheim was free of the NCAA’s shackles. He absorbed every ounce of a deserved celebration, and a celebration that undermined everything the NCAA has tried to drag him down with.

“I’m proud of everything that’s happened here,” Boeheim said, “everything. I take responsibility and I take all that’s happened here is during my time. Obviously there’s good, bad, bad losses, bad decisions, bad things that happened.

“That’s life. That’s what life’s about. The key is do you get through it? Do you move on to the next stage? Are you able to do that? That’s all we try to do. Whatever hap-

pens, happens. Whatever the results are, you have to own it and you have to step up.”

The result on Saturday was clear. When Boeheim couldn’t step up to own 1,000 wins, Syracuse fans did it for him.

Growth of soccer in United States brings fans together in Syracuse

By Joe Bloss

asst. feature editor

O

ne by one, individuals clad in red trickled into J. Ryan’s Pub. At 7:30 a.m., it was far too early to drink any of the dozens of beers offered at the corner of East Water and Montgomery streets. Some grabbed a coffee, but all grabbed a seat. It was game time.

Their team was set to kick off a match that could alter the course of its season. Win and the title is still within reach — but lose, and it’s time to realign and aim for second place.

Arsenal Football Club’s local supporters, the Syracuse Gooners, were in the pub Saturday for their team’s match at Chelsea Football Club. It’s a scene that takes place every time Arsenal hits the pitch for any of its matches in the English Premier League, which arguably hosts the world’s best soccer.

The Gooners take their name from Arsenal’s nickname, the Gunners. They’re one of three official New York state branches within Arsenal America, a network of more than 50 supporter clubs that spans across the United States. The Gooner bond is one that exists around the globe and right here in Syracuse.

The Syracuse chapter got its start in 2015 thanks to Arsenal fans Doug Farfaglia and Greg Waite. The two lifelong friends had taken a more serious interest in soccer and were searching for a go-to spot to watch their newly adopted team.

After struggling to find a pub willing to consistently use its TVs on soccer, Farfaglia noticed online that J. Ryan’s was listed as a place where Arsenal fans could catch the Gunners.

Number of years Arsenal Football Club has been playing soccer

But conversations with J. Ryan’s bartenders proved the contrary — they had never heard of such an idea. So Farfaglia eventually decided to give the pub’s owner a try. Upon getting in touch with him on Twitter, it became apparent the two shared a passion for the same team. Thus began the Syracuse Gooners. Just a few short months later, they

achieved official Arsenal America status after meeting a series of requirements: having a logo, existing for long enough and drawing a sizable crowd.

“We got pretty lucky considering their name was on the Arsenal website, but they weren’t actually an Arsenal pub,” Farfaglia said with a laugh.

“But now they are, so it’s all good.”

Becoming official was a big break for Farfaglia, considering how tough being a soccer fan in the States had been in the past. Though he grew up a fan of the more traditional American sports, he fell in love with soccer during his college years. He was tight with the guys on the soccer team at his alma mater, Daemen College.

In an age where soccer coverage was scarce, they would download highlight videos from the internet via sites like Napster. A certain team caught Farfaglia’s eye. Tremendous goals from Thierry Henry and masterful passing from Dennis Bergkamp quickly made an Arsenal fan out of him.

Now the game is much more accessible in the U.S. In 2015, NBC paid nearly $1 billion for the rights to air Premier League matches stateside through the 2021-2022 season. With access to the NBC Sports app, fans can watch any and all see gooners page 12

Beyoncé proves she is queen with pregnancy announcement

O

n Feb. 1, I looked down at my phone in the middle of class and I very audibly gasped. Sorry, professor. I got a Twitter notification that the queen, Beyoncé, announced she’s pregnant — with twins. Following that notification came a flood of texts from my friends who were almost as excited as I was.

The social media world continues to buzz about the announcement and the stunning pictures released on Instagram and her own website, beyonce.com.

The timing of this announcement was impeccable. Known for

CHRISTINE CHUNG

I USED TO LOVE KANYE her strong activism for racial and gender equality in “Lemonade,” Beyoncé released the artistic photos on the first day of Black History Month, which once again shows her unafraid and inspirational pride to be black.

These pictures continue to prove to be the best press for the singer because they were released just a couple months after the world

found out that her controversial yet brilliant visual album “Lemonade” was nominated for nine Grammy Awards.

The photo album, titled “I Have Three Hearts,” includes pictures of the singer posing as empowering female figures like Venus, the goddess of love.

Several pictures show her underwater, and what initially caught my eye was the similarity of looks between the photos and her look in “Lemonade” right before the song “Hold Up.” I couldn’t help but think of the irony in the picture, since the song portrayed

her as a crazy or jealous girlfriend that wanted nothing more than her significant other’s love.

According to Beyoncé’s website, she is supposed to signify Oshun, an African spirit that represents water, fertility, beauty and love.

Just like the musical goddess, Oshun also had twins — further blowing my mind.

Her daughter Blue Ivy also is featured in several beautiful and heartwarming shots that show her touching her mother’s belly and handing her mother flowers.

The album, similar to “Lemonade,” is separated by quotes from

poet and writer Warsan Shire.

The sections include her first pregnancy with Blue Ivy, generations of pregnant women in her family and her love for husband Jay-Z. These themes are recurring — we first saw them in “Lemonade,” and Beyoncé continues to make the world question her every move.

Which leads me to make this statement: Beyoncé is the smartest musician and artist of our generation. Ok, yes, I am a part of the “Beyhive” and I basically worship her every move. But how

group now. It was kind of our coming of age.”

Being a graphic designer, Ormsby does a lot of the social and promotional work for the Syracuse Gooners. He makes match cards to promote the viewing parties on social media.

It’s this reach that Farfaglia credits with really changing things for soccer in the U.S. “With the blossoming of social media, you’re so connected you feel like even though they’re thousands and thousands of miles apart — an ocean away — you feel like they’re right next door because everything that happens to your favorite team is right there for you to experience,” he said.

Unfortunately for the Gooners, Arsenal didn’t fare too well on Saturday. Besides a garbage time goal, the team was outplayed on most fronts en route to a 3-1 loss. But for J. Ryan’s newcomers Matt Tomaszewsky and Jacob Marcus, both Syracuse University sophomores, the result won’t deter them from coming back.

Neither are Arsenal lifers, but rather products of the soccer’s developing draw.

Tomaszewsky, who is undeclared within the College of Arts and Sciences, began supporting Arsenal after taking an online quiz that told him which squad to root for.

Marcus, an advertising major, claimed Arsenal fandom after a trip to London presented him with a sort of ultimatum: support the Gunners or be forced to side with the rival club his younger brother did. Not a tough decision.

Now the two seem to be just as invested as anyone. They sported replica jerseys over the weekend. And once Arsenal got down by three goals, Tomaszewsky had seen enough.

“I took off my glasses because I didn’t want to watch this anymore,” he said.

These youthful fans aren’t the only category of Gooners in Syracuse, though.

gooners Premier League action. Farfaglia called the increased coverage a “godsend.”

This kind of convenience seems to have done only good things for the growth of the sport. And in the case of many Syracuse Gooners, it’s done great things for people.

Pat Ormsby developed an interest in soccer during the 2010 World Cup. When he realized most of the players that impressed him were Gunners, he latched onto Arsenal.

After graduating from college and moving to Syracuse to work at an ad agency, he really didn’t know too many people. But Farfaglia’s wife also worked at the agency, and when she saw an Arsenal scarf in Ormsby’s workspace, she knew her husband had to meet the newest Gooner in town. And, boy, did Ormsby fit in.

“The guys at J. Ryan’s were really like my first friends out here, so it’s been nothing but a really great supportive community to get together,” he said.

Now more than a year into his time with the Gooners, Ormsby has been having a blast.

There was that time last February when J. Ryan’s still opened up for them despite a snowstorm. And good thing it did — a video of the Gooners celebrating Arsenal’s last-second win over then-red hot, eventual League champions Leicester City made it onto NBC Sports.

Or when Goonerfest — a meeting between the Syracuse, Rochester and Buffalo chapters — got canceled the morning of because the match switched to an early morning start at the last second, and 40 people still showed up anyway.

“It would have been nice to have the Rochester and Buffalo guys, but in a way we don’t need them,” Ormsby said. “We’re our own from page 11

drick Ross, a Camillus resident, has been an Arsenal fan since 1999. He often travels for work and has taken in matches with other groups of Gooners in places such as Tampa and Philadelphia, but in his two years since moving to the area has been impressed with the progressive nature of the Syracuse chapter, noting the blog that he, Farfaglia and other members contribute to.

As Gooners held their head in their hands at the sight of Chelsea goals, there was an uplifting, albeit tiny force inside the pub.

Greyson Sanders, son of 20-year Gooner Glen and his wife Laura, wobbled through the premises without a care in the world. He was barely old enough to walk, and consequently not old enough to Sudoku tell the difference Orange 2/2/17

between a Gooner and the one Tottenham Hotspur F.C. supporter on site. After an attempted high-five and a comical warning about the danger of other clubs, Glen quipped from the other side of the room with assurance that his son would stay loyal to the red and white.

“Don’t worry, he’s been inoculated,” dad said.

Young or not so young, diehard or newcomer, Farfaglia said he’s proud of the fact that the Syracuse branch at J. Ryan’s has a place for just about anyone.

Downtown shop takes vintage approach to thrifting, furniture

By Annie Zeina

contributing writer

A

mong the hustle and bustle of downtown Syracuse sits a modern-day fashion time machine that would bring anyone back to that closet they once idealized.

Vintage Love, located on Jefferson Street, is one of Syracuse’s hidden gems. The brick-and-mortar boutique specializes in clothing and houseware as owners Shauna Diliberto and Susan Hodell, also known as the “vintage girls,” put their clothing and houseware expertise together to make the store more than just an antique shop.

“The store itself should feel like a lifestyle store, not just clothing and furniture. We want it to be this lifestyle feel. When you come in, we want you to plan out everything from what you are wearing to what you are eating to what you are sitting on,” said Diliberto, the shop’s resident clothing expert.

The store’s interior does not replicate what thrifters are used to seeing when feeding their vintage craving.

Most have in mind a shop with old rustic antiques and the mighty smell of old leather.

But their store is a contemporary take on old-fashioned. The room is vibrant with simple walls that make colorful hues of green and bubblegum pink pop in the room. A shelf with vintage “Saturday Night Fever” and “Thriller” vinyls sit on a shelf. A rack of jackets hangs on

one side, displaying everything from velvet to sequins.

On the other side of the room sits an ornamented table adorned with light pink flushed flowers, gold table settings and fresh donuts in a glass cake dome.

The workings of this joint would be nothing without Diliberto and Hodell’s collaboration, who before deciding to open a business together, had never even met. They first met through a mutual friend while they were both working at vintage flea markets in Armory Square. When that circuit got tired, Diliberto decided she wanted to open shop for good. But she knew she couldn’t do it alone.

A quick Facebook message to Hodell was all it took to get the ball rolling and by November 2015 they were opened for a short three-month lease, hoping to try to get the lay of the land.

The three months soon turned into a permanent arrangement and in May 2016 they officially reopened as a brick-and-mortar store.

Since its opening, Vintage Love has delivered quality vintage clothes for those who still vibe with their mom’s closet. From ‘90s clothes to selling old records, it is likely that nothing in its showroom will ever be out of style. Although the items themselves may be older than you, the clock doesn’t really matter when stepping into this showroom.

“It’s cleaned, hand-picked and curated by us,” Hodell said. “They know that it is going to be one-of-a-kind.

It reflects a trend that is happening now, but no one is going to have this on. It’s such a statement.”

The worlds of fashion and interior may seem like two different ends of the creative spectrum but for Vintage Love, their journeys seemed destined to intertwine. Hodell’s experience in architecture and interior design, along with Diliberto’s studies of fashion merchandising and an eye for vintage, was just the beginning of their voyage together to create an authentic showroom.

“When something is really trendy in house wears, usually it’s trendy in fashion,” Diliberto said. “It is weird to think about it this way, but it’s true. For a while it was ‘50s and ‘60s and that came full circle again in clothing and houseware.”

“From couches to coats, even with colors,” Hodell said, “pink last year, this green (couch). If green is popular in fashion it’s popular in houseware.”

While these collectors always look to the past for inspiration, their future is looking bright. Upcoming events such as their do-it-yourself workshop for modern calligraphy is happening February 12 from 11 a.m.-1 p.m., which will hopefully encourage a new crowd they are hoping to tap into: college students. Besides, what better time to take fashion risks than as a collegiate.

“Vintage shopping is forever,“ Hodell said. “If you are a natural born thrifter, you will always be one.” aczeina@syr.edu

Hacks succumb to defeat, 64-50, against radio fanboys

By W.F. Whence staff sculptor

Oh, how the hardihood in the passel had vamoosed. The more tender members of the pack confidently partaking in the exercise of divination, bestowing upon themselves the hindrance of surmising the summation of the final score in the Media Cup that cometh just once in the marking of days based on the Gregorian methodology.

Just eight 60-minute time periods before the commencement of the game, conferences were held, in which said tender members venturesomely declared the potentiality of seizing victory by a margin larger than 19 counts.

But, alas, it was not meant to be. Inside the cupola branded by an air conditioner company in the crossroads of Syracuse, New York, the Hacks begrudgingly fell, 64-50, to the radio fanboys of WAER on the tertiary day of the most curt month.

Once again, the Hacks originated their fortress in the form of a trapezoid, each player pervading a unique locus on the floor. The same schematic packaging had impeded the penetration of the fanboys just one orbital rotation ago, forefending the nasally-sounding enemy.

But alas, the trapezoidal alignment didn’t perturb them. The fanboys aimed the spherical leather doohickey through the circular lacuna more propitiously than the Hacks, particularly during the primeval fragment of the merriment. But the Hacks were led by exotic news and business columnist transfer Matthew Gutierrez, the sparkplug assuming the baggage of shepherding the cumber of amassing triumphs on the assailing end.

In the intermission between both moieties, news editor and head coach Michael Burke bestowed upon his valorous warriors the following teaching.

“Hey guys, you played hard,” Burke said.

“Why don’t you, uh, just go ahead and take a break right now.”

That achromatic heeding seemed to enflame the Hacks, along with their zealous clan of adherents. As the first tally was warranted by The D.O., the fans fancied the jiffy as one that was proper for which to caterwaul the Hawk Harrelson spiel of, “You can put it on the board, Yes!” a cowl habitually soliloquized in the sports office.

The Hacks mangled back into germaneness, skiving the hem on the scoreboard to a more tamable margin. It was but a certainty that the Hacks would effectuate the rally.

Nay, said rally would not see its genesis.

With the man-made inhibiting concept running out, the elder statesmen of the Hacks trudged onto the battlefield to culminate the bout. Senior Staff Writer and protégé of The Post-Standard Jon Mettus flung the Orange Wilson-branded sphere on a perfect crescent and swooshed it through the reticulum for three points.

Said Editor in Chief Justin Mattingly, “That was my favorite part of the night.”

A most unusual juncture came in the residuum of the match. The Hacks and Fanboys gathered as one coterie to document the moment through visual arts and a snapshot.

Burke could be witnessed as saying, “What is this sh*t?” when surveying the image he saw. But, despite the loss, Mattingly felt a different way.

“At the end of the day the nature of the event is a fun one,” Mattingly said. “… I don’t have a problem with taking a group photo. It shows at the end of the day we’re all people, and that’s something that’s kind of lacking across society right now.”

W.F. Whence is a germanificated staff sculptor for The Daily Orange, where he regermanificated to sculpt this glistening prose.
