avi Shukla started the Tuesday morning with a hearing. A sunny day in Syracuse, it was 8 a.m. when he arrived at Tolley Humanities Building, where the administration’s office used to be.

Shukla, finance department chair at the Martin J. Whitman School of Management, was waiting to present his testimony to a committee for a student who was involved in a domestic violence case. Sitting in a waiting room on the second floor, he saw staff running to one place,

coming back, telling other people that prompted others to go into the same direction.

“I almost felt something had happened in the building,” he said.

“But then nobody is telling others what to do.”

Clueless of the commotion happening in the office, he kept waiting for the testimony and testified in front of the committee as scheduled.

As he left Tolley, he immediately noticed something was strange and began to grasp something extraordinary had happened. “(It was) as if somebody had sucked the life out of campus,” see remembering page 4

Students gather at Hendricks Chapel for 9/11 candlelight vigil

By Stacy Fernandez asst. news editor

Members of the Syracuse University community gathered Sunday outside of Hendricks Chapel for an interfaith vigil to commemorate the 15-year anniversary of the Sept.

11 terrorist attacks.

About 40 people gathered for the vigil, which began at 7 p.m. inside the chapel.

One member of the Hendricks Chapel Choir individually lit the eight candles located in the corridor of the seats. While the candles were being lit, somber music played on the organ. The music continued

for about six minutes and then the choir ensemble began walking into the venue in pairs, lining up on the stage in a crescent shape.

Once the choir was in place, the music ended and the choir commenced in prayer. The next 30 minutes consisted of prayers, music and hymns. At varying points throughout the vigil, a screen, located near the stage, prompted the audience to join the choir in singing hymns. At these points most audience members stood and picked up a hymn book, located in front of each pew, to follow along.

INSIDE N • Bug study

Will Carrara knew he wanted to be an engineer all his life, and went through many schools and programs to get where he is today.

Carrara didn’t start his engineering career at Syracuse University. He’s originally from a small town where he said no one wears shoes. He always had an idea that engineering was what he wanted to pursue, and started off at California State University, Monterey Bay with a full scholarship.

However, Monterey Bay didn’t have his choice of major, so after he got some general course credits out of the way, he transferred to Santa Barbara City College.

While at SBCC, he realized he wanted to experience the east coast, and applied to Syracuse University, among other colleges.

He said what brought him here was a combination of simple curiosity and SU’s exceptional engineering program.

He started at Syracuse second semester of his sophomore year, not knowing a single person.

Soon enough, he found himself involved in many organizations within his major and on campus.

Carrara works at SU MakerSpace, a fabrication lab on campus working with 3D printers.

He’s also on the club water polo team, club swim team, does drone research and is involved in the Nexus program on campus, which is an organization that chooses students to give funding for tech

nology-based projects to present at the school’s Future Friday.

Carrara plans work in the aerospace field upon graduation, and is thinking of getting his Master’s Degree a few years down the road. Five years from now, he wants to apply for the Astronaut Candidate Program.

“Anyone who is considering pursuing this as their college degree, just know it’s a lot of fun,” Carrara said. “I would say you learn something new every day that you never knew before and could never derive on your own and it’s remarkable.” gnasteri@syr.edu

Syracuse officials, residents reflect on 9/11

By Satoshi Sugiyama asst. news editor

Silence and a solemn atmosphere overtook Forman Park Sunday morning as Syracuse community members gathered to reflect on the 15-year anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks.

A combination of more than 100 police officers, firefighters, city officials and residents came to the city for Syracuse’s annual 17 Minutes of Silence Ceremony.

The 17 minutes represent the time between when the first plane struck the north tower of the World Trade Center and when the second plane hit the south tower.

15 YEARS S I N C E 9/ 1 1 More than 2,900 people were killed as four commercial airliners planes crashed into the twin towers, the Pentagon and onto a field in Pennsylvania on Sept. 11, 2001.

As a police and fire honor guard stood to the side, Syracuse Mayor Stephanie Miner lit six candles in two glass containers at 8:46 a.m., the time American Airlines Flight 11 hit the north tower. Syracuse Fire Department Chief Paul Linnertz and Deputy Police Chief Joe Cecile then placed them on two pedestals representing the twin towers.

Miner stood with her eyes closed and hands crossed in

front of her for the 17 minutes of silence until an electronic tone indicated 9:03 a.m., the time United Airlines Flight 175 crashed into the south tower.

The number of minutes Syracuse community members stood in silence at a ceremony held Sunday in remembrance of the Sept. 11 terror attacks

Next to the pedestals were two panels of American flags, one on the left side called “Flag of Hero,” dedicated to first responders who died, and on the right side as “Flag

of Honor,” representing civilian victims. Names of the victims were shown in white letters and stretched across the stripes.

It was a serene morning in the park, where a gentle breeze occasionally shook off raindrops from leaves on trees and the sunlight appeared and then disappeared from between clouds.

Peter Vinette, a security guard at the New York State Fairgrounds, said he visited the ceremony to show respect to first responders.

“These people are ready to go.

These people are ready to make sacrifices,” Vinette said. “I salute to people who put themselves on the frontline for the rest of us.” see ceremony page 6

‘Making a Murderer’ lawyer talks justice system

By Matt Silverman contributing writer

Dean Strang, former defense attorney for Steven Avery of “Making a Murderer,” said we’ve drifted away from the principles laid out in our constitution.

The defense attorney gave a talk on Friday in Hendricks Chapel about the United States justice system. The event was

hosted by the Campbell Public Affairs Institute and the Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs.

The theme of Strang’s talk was humility. He said the U.S. must approach the criminal justice system — on both the defense and prosecution sides — with more humility.

“We only learn from the mistakes that we admit,” Strang said.

Some mistakes are evident.

The U.S. incarcerates more people than any nation on earth.

Among this massive prison population, inequalities along the lines of race, class and mental health are egregious, he said.

About one in three black men will be imprisoned at some point in their lives, according to a study published by the Bureau of Justice Statistics.

As an attorney for people including Steven Avery, the subject of the “Making a Murderer” documentary series, Strang said he has seen firsthand of what havoc an overabundance of pride in the system can wreck upon the most vulnerable in our society.

The system forgets about humility when it sentences men and women, like Avery, to life see attorney page 6

remembering Shukla recalled.

Around 9:30 a.m., a few people were walking hastily as if they were seeking shelter, not making eye contact, Shukla said.

By then, American Airlines Flight 11 and United Airlines Flight 175 had hit the World Trade Center in lower Manhattan in New York City. One hundred and forty-seven people onboard, excluding 10 hijackers, were killed. In total that day, 2,977 people, excluding 19 hijackers, lost their lives.

Going back to his office in Crouse-Hinds Hall, Shukla learned about the events after talking to his colleague and seeing the news on the internet.

As the nation commemorates the 15th year anniversary of 9/11, memories from the date have been indelible for many in the Syracuse University community.

“People did not have to know someone who was involved in the tragedy,” Shukla said. “It was American family tragedy.”

Some professors chose to cancel their classes for the day — although the university did not officially cancel all classes — and Shukla wanted to go home in East Syracuse to be with his family. He was back by 12:30 p.m.

The town was eerily quiet as if the day evolved in slow motion without sound, Shukla said.

students get home?

“We started asking each person, ‘What city did you come from?’ and ‘Did you fly or did you drive?’” Bernard recalled. “And once we figured that out, we got that all listed up on a board and we said to them ‘We’d like to organize a carpool and students were all for it.’”

By early afternoon, students had arranged carpools going all directions: the eastern seaboard, Florida, Texas, Oregon and California.

One of the students in Bernard’s class was Mark Pollitt, who was one of managers at the FBI computer forensic lab in its headquarters in Washington, D.C. Bernard, who was working at a consulting firm in downtown D.C. and living in Falls Church, Virginia, offered Pollitt a ride as soon as he finished taking care of the students. Pollitt accepted the offer, with one condition.

••• RECALLED BACK TO WASHINGTON ext messages from a student were what prompted Scott Bernard to suspend class and find a TV. Bernard, executive professor at the School of Information Studies and a retired military officer, was one of two instructors teaching about 40 graduate-level students in an executive education program at the Sheraton Syracuse University Hotel and Conference Center on the morning of Sept. 11.

When Bernard and the students moved to a space outside of the room, a TV screen showed both of the twin towers badly damaged, with orange flames and thick black smoke swirling up to the sky. They had a feeling that this was not an accident, Bernard said.

American Airlines Flight 77 crashed into the Pentagon in Arlington, Virginia at 9:37 a.m. and United Airlines Flight 93 smashed onto the field of Shanksville, Pennsylvania at 10:03 a.m. The south tower collapsed four minutes earlier at 9:59 a.m. At 10:28 a.m., the north tower crumbled into dust.

“We watched the towers fall,” Bernard said. “And that’s when, along with the rest of the world, we went into a deep shock.”

By noon, the iSchool administration made the decision to suspend the class.

The students enrolled in the program were people in the workforce who came to SU to attend a class only for a few days. They came from across the country and a few from abroad, and all flights in the United States were grounded.

“And, again, it was very, very shocking,” Bernard said.

••• “IT WAS ALMOST MORE CATHARTIC THAT WAY.” eith Kobland was out on an assignment for Channel 5 News, sitting his car and listening to ESPN Radio on the morning of Sept. 11. “(Radio host) Mike Greenberg all of a sudden mentioned they were following a story in New York City, where a plane had hit the tower,” said Kobland, now a media manager for SU. “Both me and the photographer kind of looked at each other and thought: ‘Wow.’” Kobland and the photographer, Jim Hamilton, who is now a videographer for SU Athletics, soon returned to the newsroom, where they and others from the station watched as the second plane hit.

Local election primaries were being held that day, but as the news continued to develop, they were postponed until a later date.

“That’s when we realized, ‘OK, this is something serious and significant,” Kobland said.

From there, the channel went into continuous coverage of the attacks, alternating between the local station and the national CBS network. That meant no “The Price Is Right” and no soap operas, just the news.

Kobland and others from the station covered candlelight vigils, man-on-the-street interviews and more to tell the story from a central New York angle.

“You get caught up in a story, and at the time you’re not really thinking in the moment about the larger ramifications,” he said. “All you’re thinking is, ‘OK, we have to get over to James Street to get these interviews.’”

Kobland was sent home from the station that night, but he returned the next day and the non-stop coverage continued for about two full days.

“You just go into that work mode,” he said.

“And it was almost more cathartic that way.”

Pollitt, an FBI agent who knew how to drive fast, drove Bernard’s 1998 Dodge Caravan well over the speed limit.

“I don’t think that van has ever gone so fast as the day he drove it,” he said.

After Pollitt drove straight to his home in northern Maryland, Bernard made it home in Falls Church where he reunited with his wife by 9 p.m.

Bernard and his wife, a former navy officer who had left assignment at the Pentagon in 2000, had lost about a half-dozen people whom they knew from work in the attack.

Bernard said when he drove by the Pentagon on Interstate 395 the following day to

UNIVERSAL TRAGEDY t the British Museum in London, Margaret Hermann heard an announcement: If you are an American, you should go to the nearest pub. Something terrible has happened to your country.

As she went into one of the pubs, TV screens were dominated by the coverage from the U.S., until then-Prime Minister Tony Blair spoke on TV. Blair said she had been introduced to the event in a different way from those in the U.S. “When I got back to the United States, what I learned is that this is an attack on America, that we are at war on terrorism,” said Hermann, a political science professor in the Maxwell School of Citizenship and

“We gather here to remember, we are from many religious and secular traditions, but we are here together to mourn, to honor those who went into the chaos to help victims, defeating the terrorists by showing the best human beings are capable of, and to renew our own commitments to be agents of peace,” Riina said.

Her statement was followed by two minutes of silence.

Riina continued her litany of remembrance, stopping after each statement for about 30 seconds of silence. As she spoke, people covered their candles with their hands to prevent the wind from blowing out their light.

Participants were invited to speak the names of those they would like to remember, either out loud or silently.

Once the naming of victims ended, David Fullman, a firefighter on duty in the Bronx on the day of the attacks, played a song on the bagpipes.

Hermann was in London to attend a political science conference outside of London.

Even though she was scheduled to leave the country on Sept. 12, all flight services to the U.S. were suspended and it took almost a week for her to return to the country.

Hermann said she received outpouring support from British citizens who were eager to help stranded Americans.

The hotel she was originally planning to stay for one night made accommodation so that she could stay as long as she needed.

People on the street, noticing her American accent, would come to her and expressed their sympathy and asked her what they could do to help her.

“I can’t say enough about how kind the British citizens really were,” Hermann said. “... Because this was something they had not expected either. And they lost people. So they were grieving as well.”

••• HIT THE NATION IN THE GUT on Dutkowsky received a phone call from his mother-in-law, asking him whether he had seen the news on the TV. “My mother-in-law is kind of an alarmist and she is kind of like a doom and gloom person so I thought she was exaggerating,” said Dutkowsky, an economics professor in Maxwell who was sitting at a desk and working on a computer at his house. “She says, ‘No, no, no, no, turn on the TV. Watch.’ Well, I turned on the TV and the first tower was going down.”

Even though his wife was working and his daughter was at an elementary school, they did not come home immediately. Dutkowsky recalled the severity and unusualness of the attack, rendering him into a state of shock.

Dutkowsky kept running errands as usual while hearing the news on background.

“When things are insane, you kind look for sanity,” he said.

When his 9-year-old daughter came back home, he took her to a playground, debating whether to disclose to her what happened.

“I didn’t have the heart to talk to her about it,” he said.

In addition to regular classes on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, Dutkowsky also held a freshman forum class on Monday. On the following Monday after 9/11, he discarded his original teaching plan and took 15 students in the forum to the Wall of Remembrance where victims of the Pan Am Flight 103 bombing are honored.

There he shared the story of the 1988 bombing over Lockerbie, Scotland where 35 SU students who were studying abroad were killed, and cried with the students.

“After seeing what (happened) on 9/11, it was hard to believe that life would ever be normal again,” Dutkowsky said. “… It’s reassuring to see that there’s a degree of normalcy that has taken place since then.”

‘Settlers’ debate carries Tragedy spurs unity among students greater implications

W

hen an award-winning filmmaker produces a rave-reviewed documentary on a controversial subject, you would expect the film to be widely disseminated — especially on college campuses where the issue has been taken up by many students.

Syracuse University film organizers unfortunately did not live up to this expectation, where the possibility of upsetting some students lead to silencing of a critical discussion. As chronicled by The Atlantic’s article “How Political Correctness Chills Speech on Campus,” filmmaker and New York University adjunct professor Shimon Dotan was invited to screen his documentary “The Settlers” at an SU-led conference.

He was later disinvited by religion professor M. Gail Hamner for fear of pro-Palestinian protests.

Dotan was reinvited by Vice Chancellor and Provost Michele Wheatly, who cited the university’s ideals of free expression as her rationale in an email to the university community. Still, the initial disinvitation leaves in question the culture of openness that the school prides itself on.

With this incident, SU has written itself into the next chapter in the ongoing discourse of free speech versus “hate speech” on college campuses. But it is also about much more than that.

Whether you believe Israeli settlements violate the sovereignty of hopeful Palestinians or they allow Israelis to return to land they occupied before, it is undeniably a serious issue that requires an equally serious conversation.

Discussions on Israeli settlements in higher education do have real-world applications: there were roughly 120 governmentrecognized and 100 unrecognized settlements as of 2013. That houses about 550,000 people, according to B’Tselem, the Israeli Information Center for Human Rights in the Occupied Territories. President Barack Obama cited the expansion of settlements as a contributing factor to failed peace talks in 2014.

Though this real estate tugof-war is taking place overseas, Americans are connected to this issue through cultural ties to Israel or Palestine. Mehrzad Boroujerdi, a professor and chair of the political science department in the Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs, spoke to how the U.S. plays an outsized role in diplomacy between the two nations.

“Both [Israel and Palestine] consider the U.S. indispensible to eventually resolving this issue,” Boroujerdi said. “There is no other

COLE JERMYN

OUT OF LEFT FIELD estate that can be the interlocutor, the mediator, that has the resources and the political prestige.”

Could a peace agreement lead to greater stability in the region?

“I’m not holding my breath,” Boroujerdi said. But that does not mean this issue is not worth renewed energy, which requires a new generation of U.S. voters to openly discuss the conflict.

With the Dotan controversy, Hamner doesn’t deserve all of the disapproval she has received from the media and the community. This question of how universities educate their students outside of the classroom is one that many face.

It’s vital that institutions educate students now to produce lasting changes in the future, which cannot be done if the issue isn’t even being discussed on campuses.

Screening a film like “The Settlers” at SU presents students with an opportunity to spark constructive discussions on Israel and Palestine. No staff or faculty member affiliated with the conference should have been afraid to confront this topic head-on. Regardless of possible protests that could arise should the conference show the film, it is still necessary to help students develop informed opinions on world issues.

More often than not, free speech debates on college campuses deal with student-to-student opposition. A similar argument against total free expression was made at Yale University last year when conflict arose over politically incorrect Halloween costumes. Unlike the Dotan incident, that instance of a university stepping in to curb free speech was more reasonable.

Giving up your culturally insensitive Halloween costume to protect students from misrepresentation isn’t the same as cutting off student access to intellectual information.

Politically-engaged professors, administrators and students alike must be more open to non-violent discontent on college campuses. It is not simply the free expression of perspectives but also the passionate debate of those ideas that leads to progress. And it is this progress — fashioned out of the failures and successes of our past — that can lead to lasting change.

Editor’s note: The Editorial Board below is republished from The Daily Orange’s paper on Sept.

12, 2001. Then-Editorial Editor Colin Steele compiled the Editorial Board after conducting the Board’s meeting.

The bright colors of our country’s flag never shone so brightly for America’s young students.

Putting up with accusations of apathy and a lack of national pride, students always faced one question: When the defining moment of our generation finally happened — their Vietnam War, their Pearl Harbor — how would they react? Many seemed to think they would shrug their shoulders and continue down their path of apathy and laziness.

But all that changed on Tuesday.

In the wake of the biggest terrorist attack in history, students at Syracuse University traded in apathy for activism, and should be commended.

At a school that is cold both in weather and social atmosphere, complete strangers packed the Schine Student Center to watch the events unfold. People gathered in front of their Euclid Avenue homes to

talk, reflect and console those with friends or family members in New York or Washington, D.C. Almost everyone on campus knows someone who could have been in danger, or knows a fellow student who does.

Tuesday, students acted on these relationships. They attended services at Hendricks Chapel and the Alibrandi Catholic Center.

They donated blood to assist survivors of the tragedy. They showed their best faces at a time when it would have been easy to show their worst.

But their humanitarianism does not overshadow the catastrophe and its effects.

This generation’s innocence is gone forever. The things it took for granted, like traveling and working, are now causes of concern.

Its overall sense of safety — no matter how naive it was — has been rattled like the buildings the hijacked planes struck.

The harsh reality of the attacks came courtesy of a live cable wire.

When the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor on Dec. 7, 1941, there was no live coverage. It was President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s job to convey the enormity of the situation

to the nation. But network news has taken over that role by displaying images most people thought were confined to movie theaters — commercial airliners speeding into skyscrapers, the nation’s defense headquarters burning, people running down soot-covered streets amidst a shower of debris. These are things nobody ever thought could really happen. Now that they have, they raise serious questions.

We’ve all walked through airport metal detectors and thought how easy it would be to sneak something onboard. Tragedies do not occur more frequently because most people are not malicious or insane enough to commit them, not because they cannot do it.

Tuesday’s events showed what can happen when such people do act.

It is easy to point out the losses in the attack on America. But our nation still has its government in place, and as SU students showed, it still has its moral resolve.

And as Francis Scott Key wrote in our national anthem, “And the rocket’s red glare/The bombs bursting in air/Gave proof through the night/That our flag was still there.”

School pairs with FOX Sports for course

By Hannah Malach staff writer

Syracuse University’s S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications is partnering with FOX Sports to launch a new course dedicated to sports media.

Known as The Sports Media Project, the course is an offshoot of FOX Sports University, a program designed to reduce the gap between academia and the sports industry by partnering students with FOX Sports executives, according to the Newhouse website.

Founded nine years ago, FOX Sports University has partnered with 38 universities across the country and worked with more than 3,500 students, according to the FOX Sports website.

The SU course is jointly taught by Ed Russell, associate professor of advertising, and John Nicholson, professor of practice for broadcast and digital journalism and director of the Newhouse Sports Media Center. The two were originally paired by Newhouse Dean Lorraine Branham to pursue the project, and were both glad to accept.

“I love creating new courses,” Russell said in an email. “It’s one of the most fun things professors get to do.”

Russell credits his love of competition for what he’s looking forward to most about the class.

“I’m the faculty advisor for TNH, the student-run ad agency on campus, and we enter (and win) a lot of competitions,” Russell said.

“When I worked in advertising, I loved doing new business for the same reason.”

Due to confidentiality agreements, the syllabus of the course can’t be revealed in detail. However, the bare bones of it include a challenge presented by FOX Sports that students must compete in teams to solve and make a finalized proposal in December.

Along the way, executives and talent at FOX Sports, including FOX Sports anchor and SU alumnus Nick Wright, will check up on the students’ progress either via Skype or in face-to-face meetings.

There isn’t a concrete prize for the winning team. However, the benefits are a fair trade off.

“There is certainly an element to involving the students after the fact,” said Molly Stires of FOX Sports University. “We want to continue the educational opportunities outside of the classroom.”

Stires has been working closely with Nicholson and Russell to help create the course.

Twenty-four spots for The Sports Media Project — all of which have been filled for this semester — are held by a variety of majors.

Even though juniors and seniors of all majors are welcome to take the course, those who are not in Newhouse will have to apply.

“What we want to see in the resumes is that you have an understanding of (the sports media industry) more than maybe watching sports on TV or reading about it,” Nicholson said.

Nicholson said one of the most important parts of the course is getting to ally with other majors in an upper-level setting.

“You get the collaboration of other very smart students with different backgrounds, in terms of their course of study and their professional goals, than what they’re used to,” he said.

Another benefit of The Sports Media Project is being given the access to contacts at FOX Sports.

“Having FOX Sports U on their resume certainly goes a long way with our hiring managers and our recruiters, so it’s something that we really look to, at least from our company standpoint, just targeting students who know our business and the ins and outs of our company,” Stires said.

pain every day.

“It’s something that is with us I think every day, and on the year anniversary we take the opportunity to refresh ourselves about what sacrifice actually means and how unique it is to be an American and how those values are under siege across the world,” Miner said.

Paul Cousins, deputy chief at Syracuse’s Fire Department, said it’s important to remember what really happened, what

people lost and that people are still paying the price today.

He added that the city of Syracuse has 390 firefighters who understand risks associated with the job and train so they are ready to respond to crisis.

“In the back of their minds, they understand that the possibility exists they may not go home,” Cousins said.

attorney

DEAN STRANG, a former lawyer featured on “Making a Murder,” spoke Friday inside Hendricks Chapel. His lecture focused largely on the criminal justice system and how the U.S. should address issues within it. sam ogozalek staff photographer

“It’s just perverse at this point,” Carafa said.

His remarks align with some of Strang’s overarching questions about the country: What does it say about America — the country that spends two to three times more on the prosecution to put people in prison, then on their right to defense, which could

entrepreneur before an audience of 100 people.

Tameka Montgomery, the evening’s keynote speaker, preceded the panel’s informal discussion. Montgomery is the associate administrator of the Office of Entrepreneurial Development at the U.S. Small Business Administration. The SBA is an independent agency of the federal government that was created in 1953, with a focus on small business concerns.

Montgomery read a speech, recalling her mother’s failures at starting new, successful businesses.

“And while she had a desire, to be a successful business owner … she didn’t know where to go,” Montgomery said. “She didn’t have a network of people to help her. She didn’t know how to and where to access the resources that she needed to build a sustainable and reliable business.”

The associate administrator went on to say how, decades later, she now has the opportunity to help small business owners and entrepreneurs acquire the resources her mother could never find.

Near the end of her remarks, Montgomery recommended that to be successful, young women entrepreneurs should focus, exercise their “risk muscles,” have courage and take full advantage of the resources around them — resources including the SBA’s assistance programs.

Historically underrepresented, women have recently begun to make inroads in ensuring small businesses and successful entrepreneurships are more gender-equal, Montgomery said.

“From 2002 to 2012, the number of women-owned businesses increased at a rate of two and a half times the national average.

And, women are launching more than 1,100 business, every day,” Montgomery said.

“And women of color are actually the fastest growing segment of new business owners.”

According to a report published by the Kauffman Foundation in July 2015, however, women are half as likely as men to start a business, despite an “influx of women into the labor force.” This is the reason why Montgomery travels across the country, speaking at different events similar to the one held Thursday at SU. “You know, entrepreneurship, it’s a journey. And there’s a lot of scary things that go along with that journey,” Montgomery said.

“But we have a choice in this, and I think that’s the exciting thing.”

Throughout the discussion, panelists addressed startup issues, giving emotional and financial advice.

Gabriela Escalante, a Class of 2016 SU alumna and the current South Side Innovation Center (SSIC) Entrepreneur in Residence, said one of the most inspiring entrepreneurial traits is courage.

Liz Liddy, founder of the business TextWise and the dean of SU’s School of Information Studies, urged women entrepreneurs to apply for Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) awards. When creating TextWise, Liddy said her team successfully applied for and received dozens of SBIR awards.

Trudi Antoine, a graduate student in the College of Visual and Performing Art’s museum studies program who attended the Thursday event, said she was happy with the advice given and the entrepreneurs’ personal stories.

Linda Dickerson Hartsock, the executive director of the LaunchPad, was the event’s main organizer and the panel’s moderator.

Hartsock spoke intermittently throughout the discussion, encouraging women entrepreneurs to be bold.

“We want you to reach out, we want you to take that risk,” Hartsock said.

without parole, as if this is a lenient sentence. Life without parole sentences has increased recently, Strang said.

It’s easy to see all of these people as violent criminals, but Strang said about 3,200 of the people serving these sentences were convicted of non-violent property related crimes. Some 2,500 were children when they committed their crimes, sentencing them to what Strang calls “a social death sentence.”

Strang reminded people about something often forgotten in the justice system — its inherent humanity.

“We must remember that we are human, with bounded experience, bounded foresight and bounded rationality,” Strang said.

Even in a time of great technological advancement we could always be wrong, Strang said.

Those who are familiar with Avery’s case may see him as an outlier, a victim of a malicious police department with a vendetta against him. In reality, he’s one of the luckier ones. He had access to good legal counsel, whereas most do not.

About 80 percent of criminal defendants have their legal counsel provided by public defenders, Strang said.

According to a study by the American Bar Association, the lack of a good public defense causes pressure on defendants to plead guilty to crimes they didn’t commit.

On the other side of the aisle, former New York City Prosecutor Eva Carafa said the prosecutor has a lot of advantages and the public defenders they are up against have no advantages.

BUGGING OUT Researchers look to recreate chemical compound to attract, kill mosquitos

ROBERT MOESCH, a SUNY-ESF graduate student, and his adviser, SUNY-ESF professor Francis Webster, are working to recreate a compound that attracts mosquitos to water, where a chemical called larvicide would kill the mosquitos. courtesy of suny-esf

By Caroline Bartholomew staff writer

A

new, eco-friendly way to fight disease-spreading mosquitoes is in the process of being researched right now at the State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry.

Graduate student Robert Moesch, who is in the first year of his doctoral studies in organic chemistry, and his adviser, SUNY-ESF professor Francis Webster, are working to recreate and confirm the structure of a new chemical compound.

The compound in question is a natural chemical that can be placed in water to attract mosquitoes to enable them to lay their eggs.

This compound was discovered by entomologist Dr. Colby Schal of North Carolina State University after he noticed that mosquitoes were consistently choosing certain pools of water over others to lay their eggs.

Webster and Moesch are now working to deconstruct the chemical structure and recreate

it so more tests can be done. Also in that water would be a chemical called larvicide, which is harmless to humans but kills mosquito eggs.

“I tell people that I am trying to use the insect’s own inherent nature against it,” Moesch said. “They use chemicals to communicate and I am trying to use that process to control them. To get them to go where I want them to go and in turn hoping to stop any of their devastating impact.”

The compound was discovered several years ago, before the Zika disease was prevalent. But finding a safe way to control diseasecarrying mosquito populations is always crucial because of the variety of mosquito-spread diseases, Webster said. That’s especially true, he added, after recent protests against the spraying of pesticides in Miami.

A major benefit of the method that Moesch and Webster are working on is that it involves only a natural compound and harmless larvicide, so no toxic chemicals have to be sprayed.

“I don’t think that this methodology could eradicate mosquitoes, but if they came pref-

erentially to the puddles with this compound, then we could bring the population of mosquitoes in a given area way down,” Webster said. “The success we might have could bring the chance of infection down and could do so without having to use a lot of pesticides.”

Moesch’s research is being funded by the Semiconductor Research Center, which provides support for graduate students working toward technical degrees in areas that impact society. This is one of more than 180 scholarships given out by the SUNY-ESF College Foundation, Inc., according to SUNY-ESF’s website.

Moesch said the fellowship award has helped him immensely, especially between balancing research, school work and teaching.

Although they still have work to do, Webster said he hopes they will have the compound’s structure identified by the end of this semester. If results show that the compound is the one they think it is and they can recreate it successfully, then they will start to collaborate with other research teams. cbarthol@syr.edu

SU professor receives grant to study organisms

By Cheyenne Wood contributing writer

A Syracuse University professor recently received a grant to study how the laws of physics can be applied to nature and the movement of living organisms.

M. Cristina Marchetti, William R. Kenan distinguished professor of physics, was awarded a $420,000 grant for this research.

She is leading a team of colleagues and graduate students in characterizing the physics of organization in nature.

“In our field you have to have extensive funding to do the research,” Marchetti said.

Marchetti and several graduate students apply mathematical and physical concepts to a variety of situations. Their applications of study include the properties of tissue cells, the bacterium Myxococcus xanthus and flocking patterns of birds. They seek to understand the patterns of movement within those living organisms, Marchetti said.

“This is about using quantitative tools to understand how many things get together in an organized way,” Marchetti said.

Much of the work is done on the computer, as Marchetti and her team attempt to develop formulas to predict the behavior of the organisms.

Roy Welch, an associate professor of biology, does much of the lab work that corresponds with the research. He focuses on the testing of Marchetti’s predictions.

Fifth-year graduate student Adam Patch is among the students working closely with Marchetti and her colleagues. He focuses on

computer simulations and the development of mathematical models.

“We’re all interested in the collective behavior of motile units,” Patch said.

Patch and the other students analyze many systems to then look at large scale behavior in the environment.

Prashant Mishra, another fifth-year graduate student at SU, has been researching with Marchetti for about four years. He came to the university specifically to work with her.

Marchetti has been in this field of research for at least 10 years, she said.

“I started collaborating with other people who worked on these things,” Marchetti said.

Marchetti’s work with other professionals at The Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics at the University of California, Santa Barbara inspired this research, she said.

But this is not Marchetti’s first research grant. She has been continuously funded by the National Science Foundation since 1988, she said. The grants are for three years each and need to be reapplied for. Marchetti applied for this most recent grant in November 2015 and heard early this summer that she had earned it.

“You’re always very happy because a lot of work goes into writing a proposal,” Marchetti said.

Her proposal included information about her prior discoveries on the topic and her plans to further research physics in nature.

Marchetti and her team will continue to study the organizations of nature and their predictability in the physics and biology departments at SU. crwood@syr.edu

Homecoming week events start with naming of court

By Baylee Wright contributing writer

Orange Central, Syracuse University’s annual homecoming celebration, will hit campus this week with events meant to bring the SU community together.

The events will lead up to the football game on Saturday, when the Orange take on the University of South Florida.

Made possible by the Traditions Commission, Orange Central has been a tradition at SU since the early 1900s. Over the course of the past 20 years, it has evolved from a homecoming parade and pep rally to a week of events to entertain students and alumni alike.

“The more traditional part of Orange Central is the idea of having everyone coming back to campus,” said Kyle Putnam, a junior economics, mathematics and policy studies triple major who serves as the president of Traditions Commission. “The idea is to connect with people who have been around a long time.”

The Traditions Commission begins planning Orange Central during the spring semester of the year prior and continues throughout the summer to get things organized. About 15 members of Traditions Commission work closely with the university to make sure every detail is right for a successful homecoming, Putnam said.

This week kicks off on Tuesday, with Slice of Orange Days from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the Schine Student Center Atrium, during which the Homecoming Court will be named.

“It’s a fun way to let (SU) know it’s homecoming week,” Putnam said.

Slice of Orange Days will be held again on Wednesday, with Trivia Night taking place at 8 p.m. in 304 Schine later that night.

On Thursday, the Syracuse Homecoming Showcase will take place in Goldstein Auditorium at 8 p.m., where student groups will showcase their talents on the stage.

The day will also include presentations: Professor Emeritus Marvin Druger will present “Alumni University: Syracuse Through the Years” at 3 p.m. in E.S. Bird Library. Aaron Krause, an SU alumnus and creator of Scrub Daddy, a “Shark Tank” success, will also speak as a part of the Alumni Speaker Series at 4:30 p.m. in Lyman Hall.

Friday, meanwhile, is jam-packed with activities, including a cookout on the Quad at 6 p.m. and the Lip Sync Battle taking place at 8 p.m. in Schine Underground.

For alumni, there is a gathering at 9 p.m. in the Life Sciences Complex’s Milton Atrium.

The final day of Orange Central is Saturday, which will include a tailgate on the Quad at 1 p.m., ahead of SU’s football game against South Florida at 3:30 p.m. in the Carrier Dome. The homecoming week will end with a presentation by comedian and actor James Franco at 8 p.m. in Goldstein Auditorium.

Sarah Ross Cappella, associate director for the Office of Student Activities, added that Orange Central is a way to tie the current student body to alumni.

“We celebrate the commonality that is us: being Orange,” she said. bawri100@syr.edu

CALVIN WINELAND decided he wanted to join the Army because he wanted to give back to his country and follow in the footsteps of his family members, who all served. When he was 4 years old, he witnessed the Pentagon attack firsthand.

IN UNIFORM Sophomore ROTC cadet witnessed 9/11 attacks from inside Pentagon

By Casey Russell asst. feature editor

C

alvin Wineland remembers playing with Legos in the play area of the Pentagon. When he looked up, he saw an object fly into the building.

A split second later chaos broke out.

This year marks 15 years since the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. Fifteen years — this is the first class of incoming high school freshmen that were not alive during 9/11. They have no firsthand memories of the attacks, but some older University students do.

Wineland was there.

The sophomore public relations and political science dual major lived in Washington, D.C. at the time of the attacks, with his now retired Army parents and younger brother.

The family had moved to Washington, D.C. just two weeks before the attacks, and hadn’t gotten the chance to find a permanent place to live yet. They were staying in Andrews Air Force Base with all their stuff still packed up in the family RV. As many stories about 9/11 start, it was a warm, crisp, beautiful fall day. As a

4-year-old, Wineland’s parents, Desiree and Cal, dropped him and his brother, Austin off at the Pentagon’s daycare before heading to work at Crystal City.

After dropping her sons at daycare, Desiree worked out, changed into a suit and heels, and reported to her fellowship orientation program that morning. The fire alarm went off that morning for a drill, and while she was walking by a conference room, she saw news footage of the plane striking the World Trade Center in New York.

The fire drill was scheduled beforehand.

Four-year-old Wineland was still placidly playing at daycare when the evacuation process began.

He and the other kids lined up, and he was given a buddy to stay close to: a little girl his age.

When Desiree made it outside, she smelled the noxious fumes of burning jet fuel and immediately knew something wasn’t right. She asked a naval officer what was going on – he said there was a bomb in the daycare.

“My heart raced, and adrenalin [sic] took over, I ran, faster than I ever had without even thinking about breathing,” Desiree said in an email. see wineland page 10

Cinema society president reflects on 50th anniversary

By Joe Bloss

The Daily Orange: What exactly does 50

asst. copy editor

years mean to you?

Gerry Orlando: I’ll tell you, 50 years to me is very exciting because in this age of streaming and DVDs and cable TV and everything, we are still packing the room. We get an average of between 60 and 70 people. Many weeks there are even more. And what I’m really proud of is that we’ve changed with the times.

I mean, we were showing 16mm films and a lot of those prints became old and shrunken

The Syracuse Cinephile Society is coming up on its 50th anniversary, and Monday night marks the beginning of a seasonal, 14-week series of classic film screenings held at the Spaghetti Warehouse that celebrates the milestone. Gerry Orlando has been the society’s president since 2007, and offered up some information about the weekly series.

and very hard to show. So we’ve gone digital and we have an upscale digital system that doesn’t look like video. It looks like you were in a movie theater.

People just rave about how good it looks.

Just so you know, we work directly with the studios. We pay rights for everything. And we have a really good relationship with them and the distributors so if there’s a new film restoration that comes out they’ll give us authorization to show it.

The D.O.: How do you choose which movies to show?

G.O.: Well, the basic thing that we do — if you look down our schedule — you’ll see that there is a variety of genres. And so we try to have some things like at least one musical and at least one science fiction or horror film and maybe a romantic drama. I try to have it from different eras because I don’t want to have everything from the early 1930s. If one movie

Tom Hanks performance as pilot in ‘Sully’ could lead to Oscar

Y

ou’ve started to accept heroism at the movies means men in tights yielding superpowers. Casting away the cape and cowl, Tom Hanks proves that his hero portrayal is still a chiseled face and faded grays — capping his role of Captain Chesley Sullenberger. A well-pieced cast and a strong directorial team bring the incredible tale of Sullenberger and his crew in the pragmatic and suspenseful “Sully.”

Clint Eastwood’s recent project “Sully” tells the story of US Airways Flight 1549 from New York to Charlotte, a flight that famously — and quite incredibly — landed safely on the Hudson River. The emergency landing took place after the plane struck a flock of geese, and it successfully salvaging all 155 souls on board.

The narrative focuses almost entirely on the flight’s captain, Hanks, detailing his relatively pedestrian life that preceded, and stardom

is 1933, maybe the next one will be a little later — maybe 1945 or ‘46…Where it gets tricky is now because we’re working with the studios it’s almost like they open up their vaults to us.

So we have almost everything to pick from and it’s hard when you get to the stars because I may schedule one film and then I’ll want to schedule one for that same season and then go, “Oh, now wait a minute, so-and-so is in there and she’s in

that succeeded Flight 1549. Throughout, Hanks insists that he was “only doing his job,” while the world around him builds him up as a hero. The narrative jumps around to offer multiple perspectives on the near tragedy, as passengers, pilots, crew and family members are highlighted too. “Sully” details the National Transportation Safety Board investigation post-crash, questioning Sullenberger and his co-pilot, Jeff Skiles —portrayed by Aaron Eckhart — on their intentions and decisions during the flight. As Hanks’ character battles with these questions personally, he constantly contemplates what might have happened, or what he could have done differently, and you can really feel his internal struggle.

Sully’s estrangement from his new life-

style, and while all these sequences are at times jarring, the abrasiveness serves well to the terrifying reality of a plane crash. There’s some nervous humor sprinkled throughout “Sully” to flesh out the human element. Sully is pretty tense, but while Hanks hardly cracks a smile, Eckhart finds a few cracks to slide in a few punch lines. The mustachioed co-pilot is at times remarkably witty, and might have even stolen a few scenes. Ultimately, Eastwood found some chemistry with this cast to illustrate the humanity behind the everyday actions of the working man, finding poetry in the seemingly mundane and in the remarkably miraculous. Hanks is wonderfully subtle in his role as Sullenberger. We’ve kind of gotten used to Hanks being “the guy,” starring as big name people with big time personalities.

This was not that role.

While Sullenberger was not necessarily a quiet man, he was by no means loud. He was

pretty much a regular old man, six years from his pension, hoping to be home in time for supper.

In one of the best scenes of the film, Hanks says to Eckhart, “I’ve been doing this for 42 years. I’ve delivered millions of people over millions of miles of the world over, and I’m going to be remembered for 208 seconds.” His life’s work summarized in just over 3 minutes.

Perhaps one catastrophe was avoided, but the real tragedy was in the loss of Sullenberger’s identity amidst the flood of press and attention. Sully may have been the feel-good movie of the year. Its hour and a half run time was just right, and to be completely honest I kind of cried at one point. When you catch this one, stick around for the end credits, there’s a really cool picture collage put to music. Tight.

this other one so this other movie is just going to have to wait until another season.” That’s to be sure we’re not duplicating actors.

The D.O.: What is it about the people around here that they have a love for film? Is this something I could find in other towns?

G.O.: Well let me tell you about the people who come. Most of them, they’re not diehard film buffs, OK. They’re usually out for the evening. So it’s almost like the whole place is like a dinner theater-type atmosphere. They come for dinner, they

eat first, dishes are cleared and then we start the show. But most of them are just general people and a lot of them are seeing these films for the first time. It might be a classic Humphrey Bogart film, and you think, “Oh, everybody has seen that.”

And there are people who come that are in their sixties and they’ve never seen it before. We even get younger people, people in their twenties and thirties. That’s what I’m really pleased about, it isn’t just a bunch of old people coming, you know? It’s

not really like a niche group.

The D.O.: How about the movie you’re going with on Monday, “I Love You Again.” Could you tell me why you went with that one?

G.O.: Because we usually like to start with a light, fun movie. William Powell and Myrna Loy, they’re big favorites with our audience and it’s something that has a lot appeal to it. Just about everybody likes that movie.

It’ll bring in a good crowd. Just a really fun movie to kick off the season with.

wineland The daycare staff was standing in a grassy area by the water, diligently marking clipboards to make sure every child was accounted for and picked up by their parents.

Desiree arrived to find Wineland with his arm around his younger brother.

She took them and ran for cover behind a stone wall. She said she stayed calm for the boys, watching the wreckage unfold with their own eyes. Desiree described the experience as surreal.

While the Winelands were waiting for their father to come, Desiree heard about the fourth plane that crashed in a Pennsylvania field.

“It was so hard to find comfort in knowing more lives had just been lost, but I was grateful to have my boys with me,” Desiree said.

Later, Wineland’s father, Cal, rejoined the family. Earlier in the day, he dropped everything to help a general to the hospital.

The general was severely burned, and Cal unloaded all the family’s stuff from their RV to take him to the hospital in Georgetown.

The hospitals near the attacks were busy, and he needed immediate attention. Cal played a part in saving that man’s life.

Said Wineland: “It’s still in my memory.”

••• The Wineland family remained in Washington, D.C. for eight years after the attacks, but as soon as the parents decided to retire from the Army in 2009, they moved to somewhere they felt confident would be sheltered from danger. They found that comfort in Nebraska, where they live surrounded by corn fields, and the closest neighbor lives two miles away.

For Wineland, military service has been a part of him since birth. Though he doesn’t consider his experiences at the Pentagon on Sept.

11 part of the reason why he decided to serve, Wineland still feels a sense of duty and a desire to be a part of something greater than himself.

CALVIN WINELAND was in daycare at the Pentagon, his parents’ workplace, when a plane hit the building on Sept. 11, 2001. He survived the attack, and plans to enlist in the Army as a pilot upon graduation.

“Military’s kind of been in my blood,” he said.

His maternal grandfather served in World War II when he was eighteen years old.

Desiree, in tribute to her father, decided to serve and was invited to the Army Reserve Officer Training Corps when she was a freshman at Syracuse University, just as her son was. She said she still remains friends with some of the people she did ROTC with.

“SU Army ROTC was a great experience where I learned so many life lessons,” Desiree said.

Desiree served in the aviation branch for 24 years; however, she wasn’t always totally comfortable with being in the air. One of her first ROTC training experiences was at the Skytop Quarry, where she and her squad

were rappelling down the rocks. There, she was forced to face her fear of heights – a valuable character building experience that helped her through difficult positions in her later life, including air assault.

Cal enrolled in ROTC to assist with paying for college. In 1999, he went on Active Duty and also continued to serve for 24 years.

Now a third generation cadet with Syracuse’s Army ROTC, Calvin Wineland’s ultimate goal is to become a pilot with the United States Army, like his parents.

His girlfriend Mari McLoughlin, a sophomore neuroscience major, explained that Calvin is very dedicated to everything he does in life. She said he doesn’t want to make

bad choices that could affect his future. She also sees the drive in him to give back.

On his service in ROTC, “It means a lot to him,” she said. “He’s very driven and focused on serving our country.”

For Wineland, serving means more than just continuing the family legacy. In the wake of Sept. 11’s 15th anniversary, Wineland reflected on working towards a greater good.

“It means that I get to represent not only myself but my family and community,” Wineland said. “It means that I will be ultimately serving my country and protecting those who protected me when I was younger.” cmrussel@syr.edu

GRAIN EXPECTATIONS Armory Square restaurant jumps on new wave health, super food craze

By Angelica Welch contributing writer

T

he Syracuse food scene has traditionally been saturated with a mass of hearty pub and comfort foods, traditional staples of the college diet. Although wings and pizza will always have a special place in the hearts of students, more and more young people are trading in their burgers for something a little healthier.

This past week, Original Grain opened downtown in Armory Square. Co-founders Chris Bily and Eric Hinman decided to bring a shop like Original Grain to Syracuse after getting a taste of the fresh and health-conscious foods taking over California and New York City.

Bily and Hinman were determined to bring that sort of lifestyle back home to Syracuse.

All of the food and beverages are prepared in front of you, solidifying their freshness and demonstrating their complexities.

With an extensive menu featuring a variety of flavors, Bily and Hinman made sure to offer both gluten-free and vegan options.

One of the biggest trends to hit both the West and East coasts this summer was the poke bowl, what some might call a deconstructed sushi roll. At Original Grain, they have original poke with salmon, veggie

poke with sweet potato or the Great Swell – which I highly recommend.

The Great Swell comes with ahi tuna, cucumber, radish, avocado, carrot, edamame and nori, and seasoned with cilantro, spicy sauce, sesame seeds and an out of this world sesame-ginger dressing. You can get these bowls served over a mix of grains, bamboo rice or kelp noodles.

In addition to savory dishes, Original Grain also serves a variety of sweeter options. One of these, the Purple Swag, is their take on what many of us would know as a smoothie bowl.

Packed with anti-oxidants and low in carbs, this bowl contains blackberry, blueberry, granola, chia, banana and coconut flakes blended with coconut milk and yogurt. They also provide whey protein, pea protein and maca to add into your smoothie if you are looking for an extra boost. The Purple Swag is a great option for breakfast, or if you feel like something sweet that won’t weigh you down.

They also have a variety of toasts, but the Milk & Honey stole the show for me. They served me a thick slice of raisin-walnut toast with house-made ricotta cream cheese, almonds and honey – totally decadent but not guilt-inducing. Wash it down with a smoothie or their Kick-Ass coffee mixed with ghee and coconut oil, which are healthy fats as

opposed to dairy.

Hinman said their focus is not only providing the Syracuse community with healthy, whole foods, but also to make the experience speak to all the senses – to make it beautiful, satisfying and fun. Through an attractive storefront, great customer service and innovative dishes I would say they are on the fast track to achieving that goal.

Although Original Grain seems slightly alien from the traditional Syracuse eatery — Syracuse has a lot of independently-owned diners that have been serving up greasy bacon for years — they strongly believe in the power of locally made food. Their ingredients are all sourced from local purveyors, which Bily said is

important because they not only want to have the freshest ingredients but they also want to keep their dollar in New York state.

Students have really become their best brand ambassadors, Hinman said. By coming down and Instagramming or Snapchatting their dishes, the word about Original Grain is spreading faster than they’d expected. Social media has been a great way to promote their business, especially since the establishment is not visible to those of us up on the Hill.

Said Hinman: “I feel like people are definitely becoming more cognizant of what they put into their bodies … and it’s not a trend, its something that’s going to stay.” anwelch@syr.edu

Laura Hurff sparks offense with goal, assist in victory

By Matt Feldman staff writer

Tara Danielson, Stanford’s head coach, yelled, “Watch No. 14,” from the sidelines Sunday afternoon as Laura Hurff weaved between the Cardinal defenders, smashing a pass upfield to Emma Lamison.

Danielson had yelled it for the third time in 20 minutes, but down by one late in the first half to Syracuse, it was going to take more than yelling to stop Hurff.

Hurff was involved in virtually every play Sunday afternoon, tallying a goal and an assist in Syracuse’s (6-0, 1-0 Atlantic Coast) 3-1 victory over Stanford (1-4, 0-1 American East) on Sunday at J.S. Coyne Stadium.

With constant callouts from Danielson, Hurff was the obvious focus of Stanford’s defense, drawing double coverage in certain situations and barely seeing a free second.

Yet despite the constant attention, the junior midfielder/forward was still able to maneuver through holes and put SU in prime offensive position multiple times.

“We couldn’t have done it without midfielders like Hurff and Serra Degnan who run their asses off for us,” Lies Lagerweij said. “(Hurff) is so incredibly fit, and it’s incredible to have midfielders like that in front of us.”

After a 15th-minute penalty corner, the ball ended up wedged under the leg pad of Stanford goalie Kelsey Bing. The goalie sprawled across the frame of the net, trying to shield the ball as players scrambled in front of her to grab it.

A Stanford defender found the ball, smashing it out of harm’s way, but right to the feet of Hurff, standing a mere 10 yards from the goal.

Hurff trapped the ball and pounded it into the goal, crossing her arms and subtly flexing her muscles as she slowly walked away from the goal, staring back at the Stanford defense that she had just dominated.

“When we lost (Alyssa Manley), everyone

was like, ‘Someone’s gotta fill that role,’” Hurff said. “So I kind of took it upon myself to do the best I could to step into her shoes.”

Hurff said she has been trying to be more calm, confident, and reliable for SU as one of its central midfielders. Hurff’s play has become a reflection of Manley, and the midfielder played all 70 minutes for SU against Stanford.

When she wasn’t scoring, Hurff was pushing the pace of the game and working with Degnan and Roos Weers, to push up the field and lead constant attacks on the Cardinal defense.

“We talked to Laura about going from being a role player to being a leader,” SU head coach Ange Bradley said. “With the way she

is right now, we’re really challenging her to lead by example and by her play.”

for a counter-attack, getting in position in case Syracuse lost possession. As players moved up to help on offense, others fell back to stop any potential scoring threat

by Stanford.

“A big focus for us was counter-D. So how our defense sets up when we have the ball,” Lagerweij said. “That was a really big focus for our defense and our No. 1 goal.”

And Syracuse was effective at its counter-defense method. The team limited Stanford to just six shots the entire game, five of which landed on goal. The Orange picked apart each Stanford push on offense because SU was in position and waiting. If something went wrong, teammates filled gaps by talking to one another.

“If you stand behind our goal and listen to our backs, we are constantly talking to each other, sometimes yelling if necessary,” Lagerweij said.

Communication was a major factor for Lagerweij and Weers. They ran up the sidelines and into midfield to play offense often, as the two are SU’s No. 1 and No. 3 leading scorers, respectively. Weers is also SU’s assists leader, with six on the year.

Laura Hurff played all 70 minutes in Syracuse’s 3-1 win over Stanford on Sunday. Hurff recorded a goal and an assist.

Hurff’s most illustrious moment of the game came 23 minutes in, when she took a shot on goal from nearly 20 yards away. The ball ricocheted off the pad of Bing and dribbled slowly toward the goal. Elaine Carey swooped in, tapping home the Orange’s sec-

ond goal of the game.

For Hurff, the play began as a shot, but ended as an assist. Just like when she avoided defenders in the attacking third, she also created opportunities with the same plays.

She showcased her fluidity and ability to play multiple roles at once on Sunday, and has been one of the biggest contributors in SU’s undefeated campaign to start the season.

“I think anybody that watches us play notices No. 14,” Bradley said. “I think she’s probably one of the the best collegiate athletes out there, and a really good field hockey player.” mjfel100@syr.edu

By moving up to help on offense, Stanford could easily counter-attack with at least one defensive back missing.

A big focus for us was counter-D. So how our defense sets up when we have the ball. That was a really big focus for our defense and our No. 1 goal.

down to a science,” Bock said. “It still hasn’t been perfected. Even the Houston-Oklahoma game, I know the guy producing that game (and) there were some phenomenal plays, but he missed some snaps early on.”

The results are amplified in the red zone.

Choosing to cut to a shot away from the main action for a third or fourth time between plays might lead to a missed snap. All the viewer is left to see is the player walking into the end zone, rather than the entire play.

On Friday night, Michael Veley and Patrick Ryan were stationed near Amin. Veley, SU’s public address announcer, and Ryan, his spotter, changed the way they prepared for the Orange’s season opener against Colgate — they didn’t.

Typically, Ryan marks up the starters, second string team and captains. But once the Colgate game started, he knew he would never look at the sheet. There was simply no time.

“My head’s still spinning,” Ryan said four days after the Colgate game, slightly joking. “It’s craziness.”

Ryan, an instructor of sport management at SU, works beside Veley with the rosters and a pair of binoculars. After each play, he tells Veley what happened — the players involved, yards lost or gained, the ball’s spot on the field, the down and yards to go.

Ryan is especially important with the fast offense, as Veley had no rehearsal.

There were no exhibition games for him to practice announcing the offense. Veley has to describe everything that happens plays before the team lines ups the next snap.

“It’s just rush, rush, rush,” Bock said.

“You want to enhance the game but you also don’t want to interrupt that. Remembering the game is sacred is even more important when covering high-speed offenses.

Syracuse

Syracuse’s up-tempo offense causes dilemmas for not only opposing defenses but also broadcasters. Through two games this season, the Orange has the fastest offense in the ACC, running a play every 20.3 seconds.

they likely won’t have the time to air them during the game.

“Graphics — you just can’t do it,” said Bryan Ryder, an ESPN producer. “It’s annoying. It drives me nuts when a graphic is in there for two seconds and you can’t read it.”

On the bottom right of the screen, ESPN places a “bug,” or the square that shows the score, down, clock and yards to go. Ryder calls it an asset for ESPN, as producers can flash third down conversion rates, total yardage and other simple measures.

Deninger compared hurry-up offenses to hockey, where viewers don’t see as many replays and graphics. Graphics are limited to the lower third because full screen graphics take time to process. Producers use natural breaks, commercials, to integrate what are called in-bumps, or analysis and graphics.

“It’s a completely different approach,” Deninger said. “You just have to cover what’s happening. For most of us in television sports, that runs counter to what we want to do.”

What ESPN crews execute to fit more replays into telecast is a “two-box.” One box on the screen shows the live picture, or what’s happening on the field. The other shows the replay. This lets producers and directors squeeze in replays, even in high-paced action.

The screens are condensed, limiting in the variety of shots directors can choose.

Only certain angles fit in a downsized box. Often, producers scrap replays on nohuddle drives.

When full-screen replays are shown, they’re sometimes shortened. Shots may include only the final stage of the play. In the first two weeks of college football, however, ESPN has occasionally cut to full-screen replays, missing out on snaps, producer Andrew Bock said. Missing snaps is a “cardinal sin” because it cuts down on action for viewers.

“It’s really taken us a few years to get it

announcers and spotters —those who assist the public address announcer — are all forced to be quicker.

Syracuse averaged one play every 18.4 seconds Friday night, several seconds faster than the NCAA average, which usually hovers around 24 seconds. SU ranks fourth in the FBS in plays per game, with 97.

And, in recent years, a growing number of teams have implemented hurry-up offenses, including Oregon, Clemson and Syracuse.

Auburn, Houston, Baylor and Arizona are among top programs that have run no-huddle offenses for years.

Television producers have to pick their spots to show replays, and broadcasters save player backstories for breaks in the action.

In some cases, they ditch them altogether.

“No-huddle offense are not TV friendly at all,” said Anish Shroff, a broadcaster for ESPN. “You just gotta be on your toes a little more because you don’t want to miss anything.”

For broadcasters, hurry-up offenses mean economy of words, efficiency and more generalizations. With less time to talk between plays, it’s not uncommon for analysts, who break down plays, to not speak at length for several plays — even entire drives — at a time.

On Friday, ESPN sideline reporter Molly McGrath provided analysis mostly in and out of commercial breaks. With Syracuse and Louisville playing up-tempo, there was little time for McGrath to speak during the action.

“She can give us something that has meat, build off that instead of (me) starting out of a break,” said Adam Amin, an ESPN broadcaster who called Friday’s game. “When teams up the tempo, we can get good information in that way.”

There’s also a focus on prepared pack-

Duke

broadcast

ages. With a team such as Nebraska that has an average-paced offense, ESPN can run a short montage directly after a play that breaks down the Xs and Os and intricacies of a scheme.

Shroff uses only 5 to 10 percent of his notes on air. For games with fast offenses, he may use only about 2 percent of his prepared notes. And while Shroff prepares the same way no matter the offenses, he’s tasked with speaking in brevity: He meshes more into shorter periods. For example, he may say: “Three-star recruit Eric Dungey with the 5-yard gain,” as opposed to, “Dungey, with the keep, a gain of five. The three-star recruit…”

“You’re not giving the 505 story but rather the 101 version of the story,” Shroff said.

Dennis Deninger, a professor of sport management at SU, said the time pressure for radio is probably more intense because broadcasters have to describe the action to listeners. Matt Park, the radio play-by-play voice for Syracuse IMG Sports Network, calls SU football and men’s basketball.

During pauses in the game, Park breaks down what happened in the previous series.

Sneaking themes of the game or bigger picture ideas is “probably not wise,” he said.

Substitutions provide a chance to slide in a little more commentary between plays.

In the end, what’s relevant in the moment is paramount. Between plays, he might jump in and note that Ervin Philips has tied the SU record for catches in a game. But when the game picks up in cadence and flow, so does Park.

“If the game is slow, we’ll sound slow,” he said.

“If the game is up tempo, we’ll sound snappy.”

Before each game they broadcast, ESPN producers, directors and broadcasters meet with each team’s coaching staff. Bryan Jaroch, a producer with the network, asks what type of tempo he can expect for the game. If a team plans to run up-tempo, producers may prepare fewer graphics because

Syracuse tops Fairfield, 3-0, for best start in 20 years

By Matt Liberman staff writer

Coming off a shutout victory against Rhode Island, Syracuse (6-1-1) ended its road trip in Connecticut with syracuse 3 another shutout fairfield 0 victory, 3-0, against Fairfield (1-7). The Orange is off to its best start since 1996.

Both sides came out on the attack as each registered shots within the first three minutes of the game. SU struggled clearing the ball out of its own zone early with the Rhode Island controlling the offensive possession. But as the contest progressed Syracuse gained its composure and evened the game out.

Sydney Brackett recorded three shots in the first 30 minutes, but it was Stephanie Skilton who mounted the first successful attack for the Orange. She scored in the 33rd minute on assists from Eva Gordon and

Taylor Bennett.

The Orange maintained its offensive prowess and four minutes later Alana O’Neill came out of a scrum to put the ball past Fairfield goalkeeper Jenna Pike to extend the score to 2-0.

A myriad of fouls for the Orange eventually put Fairfield in scoring position in the middle of the second half. But the Orange capitalized off of the Stags’ errors and Brackett managed to secure her first goal of the season and her fourth shot of the game in the 73rd minute.

Fairfield would not launch another threatening attack until the 84th minute, but the Orange squandered its opportunities again.

The Orange left Fairfield with its sixth win of the season, elevating its record to 6-1-1. This week it will face off against Buffalo on Thursday and begin Atlantic Coast Conference play with a matchup on Sunday against Notre Dame. mdliberm@syr.edu

Stock watch: Review of loss to Louisville

By Jon Mettus asst. sports editor

Syracuse (1-1, 0-1 Atlantic Coast) played competitively with No. 13 Louisville (2-0, 1-0) for the middle part of Friday’s game, but UofL outplayed SU for the rest of the contest. Louisville went up 21-0 within the first five minutes of the game and ultimately won, 62-28.

Here’s a look at where some players and units stood out.

STOCK UP Amba Etta-Tawo, R-Sr. wide receiver It’s hard to think that Amba Etta-Tawo’s stock could’ve risen at all after catching 12 passes for 210 yards and a touchdown in the season opener against Colgate. He was even named the conference receiver of the week

for his efforts. In Week 2, Etta-Tawo hauled in 12 catches for 103 yards and two scores against a much better Louisville defense. He was an outlet for quarterback Eric Dungey on broken plays and rollouts.

The most important thing to note here is the consistency. One game could’ve been a fluke, but through two weeks he’s one of only two players in the nation with more than 300 receiving yards.

Parris Bennett, Jr. linebacker There were plays where Parris Bennett looked bad — particularly one where a missed arm tackle at about the 10-yard line resulted in a Louisville touchdown and left Bennett face first in the turf, smacking his hand on the ground. But that applies to nearly everyone on defense on Friday.

AMBA ETTA-TAWO’S stock went up again after another 100-plus yard receiving game.

He caught two touchdowns in Friday’s loss to UofL. jessica sheldon photo editor

Despite his miscues, Bennett forced two fumbles — one of which was in the red zone — and finish second on the team with seven tackles.

Syracuse’s conditioning and tempo Four separate times — three times in the red zone — Louisville players fell to the ground with what looked like cramps while Syracuse was quickly driving. The Orange’s offense and defense did not have any of the same problems. SU head coach Dino Babers was upset with the stoppages. After the game, Syracuse defensive tackle Steven Clark said he thought some of the instances were fake.

STOCK DOWN Syracuse’s secondary On the first play from scrimmage, Louisville dual-threat quarterback Lamar Jackson hit receiver James Quick up the seam on the left side for a 72-yard touchdown pass. Quick burned Syracuse safety Antwan Cordy up the middle of the field. Two offensive plays for the Cardinals later, Jackson found receiver Jaylen Smith on a similar route, just on the other side of the field. Smith got inside safety Kielan Whitner for the 61-yard catch. Whitner described it as a “nightmare” scenario for the SU defense. Jackson picked apart the zones, and receivers often ran open across the middle of the field.

To make matters worse, Cordy, a starting safety, and Juwan Dowels, a starting cornerback, were both injured in the game and did not return. With cornerback Wayne Morgan still recovering from an injury in training camp and safety Devon Clarke coming off one as well, SU is very thin at defensive back. jrmettus@syr.edu | @jmettus

KEEPING UP

with Syracuse’s offense

By Matthew Gutierrez asst. copy editor

F

rom inside the television production truck snuggled between the Carrier Dome and Sadler Hall, Ed Placey shook his head at what had just transpired: A replay but no snap.

In the Carrier Dome less than 100 yards away, Syracuse quarterback Eric Dungey had

run up the middle for a first down across the Louisville 22-yard line in the first quarter. But viewers watching the game on ESPN did not see the snap live. They saw only a replay of running back Moe Neal, who four plays earlier ran for 16 yards, and the end of Dungey’s run, a mass of players piled on him.

“That shouldn’t happen,” said Placey, an ESPN senior coordinating producer for college football.

Opposing defenses aren’t the only ones tasked with adjusting to Syracuse’s fast-paced offense. Television producers, directors and broadcasters are challenged to keep up, altering how they deliver the game to viewers.

Outside of the broadcast booth, the effects of speedy offenses are just as significant. Scoreboard and clock operators, public address see broadcast page 14

Counter-attack defense pushes No. 1 Orange to 3-1 win

By Charlie DiSturco staff writer

Lies Lagerweij stepped back and focused on a Stanford player, who tried to step right. She shuffled left quickly, cutting off the Cardinal player. When her opponent stanford 1 tried to syracuse 3 dribble left, Lagerweij again was there to force her to make a change.

Eventually, her opponent backed

up to the corner of the field and tried to center the ball, which bounced off Lagerweij and rolled out of bounds. She got back into position, ready to stop whatever came her way.

Lagerweij and the No. 1 Syracuse (6-0, 1-0 Atlantic Coast) defense held No. 14 Stanford (1-4, 0-1 American East) to just one goal in a 3-1 win on Sunday at J.S. Coyne Stadium. The win was Syracuse’s third against a ranked opponent this season and second

consecutive after the Orange beat No. 18 Boston College on Friday.

In all, Syracuse has given up just six goals this season, good for one per game and top 10 in the country as of Sunday evening.

The defense helped limit Stanford on offense and was active in moving the ball up field and creating opportunities on offense. Roos Weers surveyed the field after controlling the ball and did a near 270-degree spin before
