Alumna reports late night robbery

By Satoshi Sugiyama asst. news editor

A Syracuse University alumna had her purse stolen by three unknown boys while walking on Stratford Avenue Sunday night, the Department of Public Safety said.

The strong-arm robbery happened at 8:57 p.m. on Sunday as the alumna was walking in the 500 block of Stratford Avenue,

according to a public safety notice from DPS that was sent to the SU communtiy.

The male suspects forcibly stole the woman’s purse and fled the scene in a vehicle, according to the DPS public safety notice. The alumna did not sustain any injuries and refused medical attention.

The suspects did not use weapons, according to the public safety notice.

The three boys were between the ages of 12 and 14, and one of them was possibly wearing a white T-shirt, according to the public safety notice. They were last seen in a white vehicle.

Sunday marked the last day of SU’s Orange Central Homecoming Weekend, which is an event that’s popular for university alumni to attend. ssugiyam@syr.edu

Syracuse University’s Martin J. Whitman School of Management community is shocked following the arrest of the school’s former dean on charges related to pr ost it ut ion , but not worKAVAJECZ ried about its future as a top business school in the country.

“He seemed like a stand-up guy,” said Michael Shaw, a Class of 2016 Whitman alumnus. “No one saw it coming.”

Kenneth Kavajecz, 51, was arrested last week on a misdemeanor of patronizing a person for prostitution in the third degree in the town of Salina, the Onondaga County Sheriff’s office confirmed Friday. He is due to appear in the Town of Salina Court on Sept. 29.

The Sheriff’s Office said in a press release Friday that no further information will be released because the investigation is ongoing.

Kavajecz was removed Wednesday from his position as dean and put on administrative leave from his faculty position. Mike Haynie, SU’s vice chancellor for veterans and military affairs, will serve as the acting head of the school until an interim dean is named.

In a meeting with the Whitman community on Friday, shortly before further news on Kavajecz’s arrest was made public, SU’s Vice Chancellor and Provost Michele Wheatly declined to give a timeline on when an interim or permanent dean will be named.

Following the report of Kavajecz’s arrest, Kevin Quinn, senior vice president for public affairs at SU, released a short statement saying Kavajecz’s alleged behavior did not occur on campus and was unrelated to his responsibilities as dean.

The Daily Orange reached out to numerous Whitman faculty and student organizations, but all of them either could not be reached for comment or declined to comment at all.

Harry Dittrich, a junior finance and accounting major, previously took a finance course with Kavajecz.

Dittrich said he was shocked when he heard about the arrest Friday.

“He always seemed to be one of the most, like, stand-up, honorable guys,” Dittrich said. “He seemed to be a great fit to lead Whitman.

Honestly, I couldn’t be more surprised about this.”

The former dean was not teaching any courses this semester.

Vatsal Popat, a second-year Whitman MBA student, said he was surprised to hear about Kavajecz being arrested on criminal charges but he is not rushing to judge whether he is guilty or not.

“People love him,” Popat said.

“Like all of my friends and all of my classmates appreciate him because he has been a very nice person.”

Popat added that even though Kavajecz is gone, the incident will not negatively affect his career since his future depends on him as much as it depends on the school.

Kavajecz was instrumental in making Whitman more competitive and rebranding the school into a top-ranked institution. Under his leadership, Whitman climbed Bloomberg’s best business school rankings nearly every year, from No. 72 in 2013 to No. 23 in Bloomberg’s most recent rankings.

Shaw, the Class of 2016 Whitman alumnus, said the incident is unfortunate, but he is excited about the direction the business school is heading — a view held by many other Whitman students.

For Carter Morris, a freshman finance major, the arrest has not deterred his excitement to be at Whitman. Both his Whitman professors and Wheatly, SU’s vice chancellor and provost, have assuaged any fears he might have had about the his future in Whitman, he said.

“I’m confident they’re going to find someone good to replace him,” he added.

Marshall Ruffing, a sophomore finance major, is still coming to terms with Kavajecz’s arrest.

Although he said Kavajecz’s arrest will not impact his own education in the short-term, his personal view on the former dean has changed.

“I mean, he is so experienced in the financial field and had such great education and this pretty much threw it all away,” Ruffling said. rsandler@syr.edu ssugiyam@syr.edu

Senior works four years with SUA

Lily Kim was walking on the quad the first few weeks into freshman year, when she saw “Join Syracuse Ambulance!” written in chalk on the path. She took interest but didn’t think she was qualified. She then went to an open house and found there were no requirements to join.

She decided to apply, and out of the many applicants was accepted.

Kim is from Torrance, California, and came to Syracuse without knowing a single person. She said Syracuse University Ambulance provided her with an extremely loving community during a time of transition in her life. In addition, she’s passionate about the fact that together, they have a direct impact on campus life.

Though Kim loves SUA, she admitted it has crossed her mind to quit. Between working volunteer hours at the station, doing school work and managing other jobs, donating her time gets to be tiresome. But she has managed to keep trucking the whole four years.

“You’ve already built such an established community within the organization to let it go just doesn’t feel right,” Kim said.

Syracuse Fire Department. Kim explained that in her four years as an EMT, she’s learned a lot through working with them. Relationships with authority on campus taught her to be more responsible.

As a freshman, Kim said she was a very guarded and closed-off person. With constant calls and helping patients, SUA helped her grow into the person she’d always wanted to be.

“It’s the conversation that I’m having with the patient that I feel makes me a better person because the conversation is real and it makes

me feel more real,” Kim said.

Kim’s EMT certification expires in May of 2017, but she fully intends on getting re-certified and getting her national registry so she can be an EMT in other states and continue serving communities.

Months from now, Kim will walk away from SU’s campus with not only a degree in information management and technology and political science, but with the satisfaction that she gave back to her college community as much as it gave to her. gnasteri@syr.edu

Kitchen, cafe to provide hands-on learning

By Deniz Sahinturk staff writer

A hands-on learning laboratory and cafe for nutrition majors at the David B. Falk College of Sport and Human Dynamics opened with a ceremony Friday morning.

The Susan R. Klenk Cafe and Kitchens is composed of an experimental food lab kitchen, commercial kitchen, baking nook and a cafe. There is also a video camera system that allows faculty and chef instructors to broadcast classes, food demonstrations and seminars from Falk College to anywhere on campus or across the country, according to an SU News release.

“A generous and visionary gift from Falk College alumna, Susan R. Klenk, made the learning cafe and kitchens possible,” said Michele Barrett, director of communications at Falk.

Barrett said Klenk contacted Falk College with an interest in supporting the project while it was in the early stages of sketching out the teaching kitchens in 2012. Barrett added that hers was one of the first commitments made when they first launched the campaign to raise funds for the Falk Complex renovations.

“Because Susan’s career always revolved around supporting students to help them be successful,

she created the Susan R. Klenk Learning Assistantship in September 2009 that allows them to take a leadership role, provide support for classmates and gain valuable management experience,” Barrett said.

Diane Lyden Murphy, dean of Falk, said they have been tremendously proud of partnering with Susan over the years at the opening ceremony on Friday. She added that they were thrilled with the kitchen.

“A year and a half ago this place was a warrant of offices for the law school, you couldn’t find your way through it, and look at it now,” Murphy said.

At the opening ceremony, Chancellor Kent Syverud said the kitchen was a place that will foster the kind of innovation and creativity the university hoped to promote.

He added that he hoped the cafe and the kitchens would help all students who choose to follow a nutrition major.

“Falk College wanted to provide an up-to-date, hands-on learning laboratory to prepare our students with traditional and emerging professional competencies for careers in food, nutrition, dietetics and public health,” Barrett said.

The first nutrition course at SU was taught in 1917 and the programs in food and nutrition have adapted to changes in the field, Barrett said.

A Syracuse University official presented the Campus Framework plan to some of the SU alumni who returned to campus for Homecoming Weekend.

In the second Campus Framework open forum, Pete Sala, vice president and chief campus facilities officer, addressed about 35 audience members — mostly SU alumni wearing the official 2016 Orange Central T-shirts and orange lanyards. Sala explained the overview of Campus Framework’s goals, plans and recommendations. The open forum was held in the 001 auditorium inside the Life Sciences Complex.

The university released a draft of the Campus Framework, a roadmap guiding SU’s physical development over the next 20 years, as one of three pillars under Fast Forward Syracuse initiative in June.

She added that they have kept up with changes thanks to futuristic visioning, and their facilities have continued to adapt and evolve.

The learning cafe and teaching kitchens inside Falk set the stage for industry-leading, forward-thinking approaches to food and culture, nutrition, research and food studies development, Barrett said.

“Its design fosters creativity and collaboration across a variety of departments, schools and colleges, creating interdisciplinary partnerships that support teaching innovation, student learning, research and scholarship,” she added.

In addition to unlimited faculty-supervised, hands-on experiences for the Falk community, the kitchen’s dedicated space will provide an ideal environment for student-faculty research projects and educational community partnerships that set the SU programs apart, Barret said.

Aside from Falk programs in food, nutrition and public health, there will be opportunities for collaborations with other units on campus, she said.

Exhibit celebrates veterans experience at SU after WWII

By Jordan Muller contributing writer

Students and visitors who go to the sixth floor of E.S. Bird Library can now get a glimpse of what life was like for veterans who enrolled at Syracuse University after World War II. “Our Doors Opened Wide: Syracuse University and the GI Bill 1945-1950” — an exhibition of letters, films, photographs and memorabilia from veterans’ lives at SU — opened Thursday.

The exhibition focuses on SU’s efforts to accommodate thousands of WWII veterans who enrolled at the university through the GI Bill.

Pieces on display at the exhibition include veterans’ handwritten requests for enrollment, vintage SU apparel and newspaper clippings from The Daily Orange. Photographs of temporary houses and classrooms next to SU landmarks such as Crouse College feature the lengths the university went to accommodate the influx of veterans.

More than 19,000 veterans enrolled at SU through the GI Bill between 1945 and 1950 in what was called the “GI Bulge.” The GI Bill allowed WWII veterans to attend college tuition-free, and SU instituted an open-door policy that promised admission to any service-

men and women returning from war. The popularity of the GI Bill caused SU’s total enrollment to triple between 1945 and 1948, according to an exhibition’s brochure.

“The university opened its doors and welcomed as many veterans as it could,” said university archivist Meg Mason, who curated the exhibition.

The university undertook massive construction projects to keep up with the rising number of students. Projects such as the construction of the South Campus apartments and a 150-trailer park that served as housing for families are illustrated throughout the exhibition in photographs and videos.

Philip Oldham, an SU alumnus who visited the exhibition Thursday, said the photos on display are an accurate depiction of what his life was like when he was an ROTC cadet in the 1960s.

“It all looks very familiar, specifically the Quonset huts they set up behind Hendricks Chapel,” Oldham said. Quonset huts were cheap, prefabricated metal shacks that the university built to serve as classrooms and housing facilities for veterans.

As the “GI Bulge” changed the campus physically, veterans also had an effect on

campus culture. Married veterans pressured the administration to desegregate Archbold Stadium so that husbands and wives could sit together. Freshmen that were previously military officers were not asked to wear the traditional freshman beanie.

“It’s cool to see how campus was all those years ago, and especially compared to how things changed and how it is today,” said Jenesis Gayden, a junior psychology major who attended the exhibition’s opening reception on Thursday.

244.6

The percent increase in Syracuse University enrollment between 1945 and 1948

Despite their military status, veterans still engaged in many of the same activities as regular SU students. Veterans played sports, went to dances, formed clubs and wrote for college publications. Pieces of veterans’ lives, such as newspaper articles, football programs and cartoons are on display alongside photographs of

their time on campus.

For Goodwin Cooke, a U.S. Marine Corps veteran and professor of practice emeritus of international relations at the Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs — the exhibition carries a deeper meaning than a simple display of memorabilia.

“I think it’s great of the school to renew their devotion to the cause of supporting American veterans, and I think that this was a swell idea,” said Cooke, former ambassador to the Central African Republic.

Last week, SU jumped from 50th to 36th on U.S. News & World Report’s list of Best Colleges for Veterans. In January, Chancellor Kent Syverud was awarded the first William Pearson Tolley Champion for Veterans in Higher Education Award by the Student Veterans of America for his work in supporting veterans succeed in college.

“I think the opening of the exhibit is very timely because of the priority the university has given to veterans recently,” said Mason, the university archivist who curated the exhibition.

“Our Doors Opened Wide” is located on the sixth floor of Bird and is free to walk-ins through April 14, 2017. jrmuller@syr.edu

Civic engagement group relocates from SU to UC Davis

By Conor Wight contributing writer

After 10 years of calling Syracuse University home, Imagining America, an organization focusing on civic engagement, will be moving across the country to the University of California, Davis.

The move is routine, said Bruce Burgett, chair of Imaging America National Advisory Board in an email, and has nothing to do with SU as an institution.

“Overall, we have been very happy with the partnership with SU. We think it has had many positive impacts on both side(s),” he said.

IA, which was launched at a 1999 White House conference, is a consortium of more than 100 colleges and universities across the country. SU has been the organization’s physical headquarters since 2007. IA will make the official move to UC Davis in summer 2017.

A university can remain the IA host for 5 years, a period which can be renewed at its expiration. Such a renewal occurred in 2012 when the IA board decided to remain at SU. This year, a different decision was reached, mostly because IA did not want to be associated with just one institution, Burgett said.

Expert discusses abortion rights issues at Upstate

By Laritza Salazar staff writer

Medical and moral standpoints on abortion were the central topics raised in a lecture led by a LeMoyne College political science professor on Friday.

In a classroom at the State University of New York Upstate Medical University, Jonathan Parent — who has worked in the political science department at LeMoyne for the past two years — touched on the current pressing issues that abortion rights and policies face. About 25 students and faculty members attended the lecture.

Parent said both pro-life and pro-choice supporters have framed the abortion to influence on the public opinion and policymakers. For example, he said pro-choice activists claim not aborting a pregnancy can pose a threat to the woman or both the woman and fetus from a medical standpoint. Pro-life advocates, meanwhile, argue from moral perspective that life begins at the moment of conception, he said.

“We understand abortion today through the lens of the frames that we understand, that have come to prominence now. But that hasn’t always been the case,” Parent said. “Abortion

has gone through a number of different changes in how it’s been understood and presented to the public.”

From both medical and moral standpoints, Parent said the question to consider is whose rights are worth protecting: women’s or fetuses’.

These standpoints are used by both sides to legally influence abortion in the United States, he said.

“Government officials will frame issues in terms that are important to their constituents.

They’ll say things like fiscal responsibility, that’s a frame, right,” he said. “That’s a way of saying not spending money. Due process or equal protection are ways to frame other issues.”

Despite the highly politicized issue, he said abortion first emerged as a political issue in the1960s. Abortion has become a highly polarizing issue leading up to and after the Roe vs.

Wade ruling in 1973.

Parent said in an interview after the lecture that he remains hopeful about the future of abortion policies, noting that the discussions over the last 50 years about the topic have evolved the public perception more than they have over the previous thousands of years. lcsala@syr.edu

Education, said he agreed with Burgett’s statements on the matter, but did not elaborate.

UC Davis was chosen deliberately out of more than 100 potential hosts and the IA board unanimously endorsed this partnership, Burgett said.

“We were extremely impressed by the breadth of community engagement and public scholarship at UC Davis, and by its deep commitment to equity and inclusion,” Burgett said in the email. “We share these values of equity and inclusion, and we are excited to begin the next chapter of IA’s work with this partnership.”

UC Davis has reciprocated the enthusiasm over the move.

session beginning and the end of the 80-minute session as the Campus Framework seeks to connect it to the student body. Based on surveys of season ticket holders, Sala said SU has become aware of the need to upgrade facilities inside the Dome, specifically setting up railings on aisles, renovating concession stands and locker rooms, increasing bathroom sizes and accommodating family and gender neutral bathrooms.

During the summer, Sala said three residence halls — Haven, Flint and DellPlain halls — went through major renovations and mentioned Day Hall would go through a secondary major renovation during the upcoming summer. The challenges are, he pointed out, a limited timeframe for the project — from commencement until midAugust — and efficiency.

He also mentioned multiple projects that are underway, including $9 million investment in classroom and demolition of the Hoople Building to construct the National Veterans Resource Complex, SU’s flagship initiative to transform central New York as the hub of veterans’ affairs-related research and programs.

Sala reiterated the importance of building student housing on Main Campus to keep retention rates high, especially for freshmen and sophomores. In order to keep up with

“The overriding goal of IA — tapping into the power of cultural disciplines to animate an emerging movement and create transformation within higher education and society — fit well with what we have been doing at UC Davis,” said Susan Kaiser, UC Davis’ interim dean of the humanities, arts and cultural studies division in the College of Letters and Science, in an email.

IA’s services will not only be afforded to UC Davis, Burgett said. The California-based university is simply the new host university.

“We very much look forward to working there as a national consortium that still includes SU,” Burgett said. cjwight@syr.edu

the demand, he said the Campus Framework plans on converting the Sheraton Syracuse University Hotel & Conference Center into student housing, which was originally mentioned in the Campus Framework draft.

When asked by an audience member whether the university is moving away infrastructure from the South Campus, Sala said the university needs the place for a variety of purposes such as hosting athletic games and supporting engineering research.

“We need South Campus. It’s an important part of what we do,” Sala said.

At the end of the session, Sala added that 90 percent of the construction projects will happen over the summer when students are not on campus to minimize the effects on students.

The next Campus Framework open session will take place on Wednesday from 1:30 to 3 p.m. in the Joyce Hergenhan Auditorium inside Newhouse 3. Three additional Campus Framework open forums are scheduled in the remaining semester as well as four construction information sessions.

Mobile innovation isn’t dead yet, it’s on hiatus

T

BRETT WEISER -SCHLESINGER

his month in mobile tech has been defined by missing headphone jacks and exploding batteries, so it’s hard to not feel nostalgic for the old days of anticipation for innovation.

And yet smartphones aren’t as exciting anymore, as seen by a September report from Reuters: Google “suspended” its experimental mobile phone prototype Project Ara. This was poised to be the most revolutionary phone since the iPhone. Its basic concept was the first “modular” smartphone, meaning standard phone parts like displays, batteries and cameras could be swapped out for better parts.

It’s unfair to say that true smartphone innovation is dead, as concepts like Project Ara are proof of room for improvement. But with slower movement in mobile tech, it might be awhile before we see distinct ideas like Ara become a reality.

Ara was the last gasp of an era of sweeping innovation in the world of smartphones when it first came to light in 2013. Concerns about Ara’s practicality came up early on: the phone would be too thick by the nature of its swappable parts and it would difficult to make it costeffective for consumers.

This stagnation has even affected the iPhone versus Android smartphone wars, as both hardware and software between the two don’t have substantial differences like they used to. In the last six years, major differences like notification centers, multitasking and app folders were some of the biggest contrasts between the two.

Now, they’ve largely caught up to each other and improvements are minor in comparison.

Doug Taber, a mainframe computing expert at Syracuse University’s School of Information Studies, witnessed the rapid evolution and maturity of mainframe technology.

Like what we see now in smartphones, Taber believes the best indicators of mainframe computer maturity have been a steady sense of “stability and reliability.”

He added that computers’ slowing

development led to greater stability down the line.

“Developers have spent literally billions of dollars building reliability into their computers,” Taber said. “The demand that they have and the fact so many companies have embraced it shows us that it’s matured in a very, very short amount of time.”

Taber also noted that smartphones’ faster adoption and consumer-friendly nature has helped them mature quicker than other devices.

There is a growing sense that tech developers may be reaching a point of developmental stagnation. When most year-to-year phone improvements are only slight changes to battery life or the camera, fewer people are going to be excited about them.

Yet we let ourselves get pumped for new announcements, even though the updated features aren’t nearly as exciting as they used to be.

For now, the groundbreaking Project Ara has been put aside, because we just aren’t ready for it yet.

Ara joins other projects that have come and gone, like social network Google Wave and wearable eye-computer Google Glass.

But in a lot of cases, the company’s best ideas are integrated into other products.

The Wave’s real-time peer editing lives on Google Docs’ live collaboration and Google Glass’s legacy can be seen in Google Wear smartwatches. Set to announce its new Pixel smartphones in a conference next month, Google may follow its pattern by incorporating Ara elements of Ara in the Pixel.

If there’s anything we can learn from Ara right now, it’s that there’s still a place for innovation in mobile technology. Until then, we should strive to live on the cutting edge.

Clinton office puts Syracuse on map

I

n an age where campaign war chests measure in the hundreds of millions and digital media rules, direct contact with presidential hopefuls seems unattainable. Candidates can stump for months, but they will only reach a fraction of the American populous.

That’s where campaign offices come in: they are an opportunity for the average Joe to make a connection to their candidate of choice.

Beyond clashing platforms, Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton are both at odds in their distinct campaign trail approaches. Whereas Trump is focused on attracting as much media attention as possible, Clinton is set on establishing her presence nationally with offices across the country — from battleground states like Pennsylvania and Ohio, and the newest addition to the bunch right here in Syracuse.

Opened on Sept. 10, the East Washington St location may just be one office, but it reflects an important part of Clinton’s endgame. By staking a tangible claim in central New York and thereby making Clinton more approachable, field offices like the Syracuse one are a crucial part of her path to victory.

Allowing people to touch base with a campaign in person can have an enormous impact — something that Trump has overlooked. Particularly when some voters may see Clinton as cold and untrustworthy, field offices are crucial to bridging the gap between voters and the campaign.

Because of its propensity to vote

COLE JERMYN

OUT OF LEFT FIELD for one party, New York doesn’t get much attention during the election: the state has voted Democrat in the last seven presidential elections. Still, in this polarized election season, New York’s breakdown makes an interesting case for Clinton opening a Syracuse office.

While Clinton won out over Trump in Onondaga County in the primary elections, upstate and central New York had a more mixed voting record, according to Politico.

Many of the counties surrounding Onondaga — which include Cayuga, Oswego, Madison, Cortland — swung in favor of Trump. Clinton’s new campaign office will provide a regional locale not just to reinforce Onondaga’s democratic majority, but to influence voters throughout central New York.

Clinton’s dedication to putting offices echoes the successes of President Barack Obama in 2008 and 2012, when he had hundreds of offices throughout the country.

As of the end of August, Clinton’s campaign had established 291 field offices in the 15 largest swing states.

By comparison, Donald Trump’s campaign had 88 offices in those same states, according to PBS. Setting itself apart further from Trump’s fixation on publicity and controversy, the move to open a Syracuse office was a conscious decision on behalf of the Clinton

campaign. Miryam Lipper, a spokesperson for Clinton, described the campaign’s “50-state strategy.”

The goal is to put resources on the ground in all 50 states, no matter the odds of winning each state.

“The goal of the 50-state strategy is twofold: the first is local party and down-ballot races,” said Miryam Lipper, a Clinton campaign spokesperson. “The second is to make sure every voter has the opportunity to engage with the campaign, whether to knock on doors (or) to work on a phone bank.”

In a political climate where Republicans and Democrats view the opposing party as a “threat,” any strategy to make lasting connections with voters and humanize their party’s leader should be explored.

Fast forward to a year from now: a Clinton presidency, though divisive, has benefited from the offices established during the campaign season.

By enlisting figures like Syracuse Mayor Stephanie Miner and Democratic Congressional candidate Colleen Deacon, the Clinton campaign is poised to make that longstanding, credible impact in New York. As seen by the opening of this office, despite the influence of special interests and powerful donors, the power to govern still rests with the people.

Root of knowledge School launches indigenous knowledge graduate program

By Caroline Bartholomew staff writer

T

his summer, SUNY-ESF launched a new graduate program with a focus on biocultural restoration.

The program, Sowing Synergy, is being funded by a $652,811 grant from the United States Department of Agriculture over three years, according to the State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry’s website. It will focus on research and studying sustainability through the lens of both scientific and indigenous knowledge.

The graduate program includes an exchange between SUNY-ESF students and students from Salish Kootenai College in Montana, a tribal college on the Flathead Reservation of the Salish and Kootenai tribes.

Salish Kootenai College is one of 32 accredited tribal colleges and universities in the country, most of which are located in the west.

“There’s a real lack of not only undergraduate tribal education in the east, but there’s also a lack of graduate programs in these tribal colleges and in higher institutions of learning in general,” said Neil Patterson Jr., the assistant director of the Center for Native Peoples and the Environment at SUNY-ESF. Through Sowing Synergy, students can benefit from both of the college’s strengths and locations, Patterson said.

SUNY-ESF is close to the Onondaga

Nation Territory and has its Newcomb campus in the Adirondacks, while Salish Kootenai College in Montana has the traditions and culture of both the Salish and Kootenai tribes together on one reservation, Patterson said.

Because the program just started, this first year will focus on recruiting students so the exchange can begin next year. The funding from the USDA grant will support

the research of three graduate students as well as four undergraduate apprentices who will assist graduates with their research, according to the ESF website.

In 2014, SUNY-ESF created a Native Peoples and the Environment minor for undergraduates that helped to garner interest, and the Sowing Synergy program is its natural succession, Patterson said.

The main focus of Sowing Synergy is biocultural restoration, which Patterson described as integrating cultural restoration with environmental and ecological restoration. Biocultural restoration stresses the connection between humans, their use of natural resources and the replenishment of those resources all as part of a cyclical process.

“For indigenous people in North America and across the world, our culture is directly linked to the environment, to what we would call our relatives in the natural world,” Patterson said. “For a long time, the western science approach has been to think about the biological world as separate from human beings, but indigenous people view themselves as part of that world, that our relatives are part of that world and our relationships with those relatives also need to be restored.”

This kind of program is needed because there are few Native American students in the science field and because indigenous cultures, particularly languages, are facing serious threats, Patterson said.

“Western science has really made great advancements in protecting the environment, but often times at the expense of indigenous people,” Patterson said. “For a lot of indigenous cultures, this is a renewal process — looking back to our old teachings and now saying we have to recover if we’re going to move forward as indigenous people.” cbarthol@syr.edu

Former ambassador talks radical Islam

By Sam Ogozalek staff writer

James Cunningham said he believes Islamic extremism is one of the largest threats to United States citizens and their values and ways of life.

“This is not a threat from Islam itself, but from a distorted ideology that it is important to recall is rejected by the vast majority of Muslims around the world. Most of its victims have been people of the Islamic faith, not Americans or others,” said Cunningham, a former United States ambassador to Afghanistan, Israel and the United Nations, respectively.

Cunningham, who is also a Class of 1974 SU alumnus and current senior fellow at the Atlantic Counsel’s South Asia Center, addressed members of the Syracuse University community in Maxwell Auditorium on Friday. He spoke to a crowd of about 150 people about his perspectives on violent Islamic extremism, the United States’ role in Afghanistan and the Middle East post-9/11.

For roughly 20 minutes Cunningham — who is one of four recipients of SU’s 2016 George Arents Award, the university’s highest alumni honor — read a speech before answering questions from the audience for another 40 minutes. The event was open to the public, but the auditorium was mostly filled with SU alumni on campus for Homecoming Weekend, along with current SU students and faculty.

The U.S. faces many threats from around the world, Cunningham said in his opening remarks. He added that increased North Korean aggression and Russian efforts to disrupt the “post-Cold War framework” of Europe are major concerns.

The former ambassador used the extremist group al-Qaeda and the Islamic State, the self-proclaimed caliphate located in portions of Syria and Iraq, as examples of groups driven by distorted Islamic ideology.

While Cunningham said he has no doubt the Islamic State is doomed, he added that the spread of violent, radical Islamic ideology is something the U.S. cannot hope to defeat without allies, time, commitment, coalitions and Islamic partners.

Much of Cunningham’s speech was focused on Afghanistan, where he served as the U.S. ambassador from 2012 to 2014, during portions of President Barack Obama’s first and second terms in office.

Cunningham said the war in Afghanistan is just one campaign in the U.S.’s fight against Islamic extremism. He consistently defended the war throughout his speech saying despite critics and “notwithstanding the negative press,” Afghanistan is not a failed state.

JAMES CUNNINGHAM, a former United States ambassador to the UN, spoke to the SU community on Friday about threats the U.S. faces. sam ogozalek staff writer

“Americans like to solve problems preferably in the short-term, and to move on,” Cunningham said. “We don’t like long-term commitments, and even less so, long-term conflict. That is perfectly understandable, but after 15 years (post9/11) it should be clear that approach won’t work here.”

There have been multiple successes in Afghanistan including the increased will-

ingness of Afghan soldiers to take the lead and fight for their country, a decrease in infant mortality, more voter participation and a new fight for women’s rights, the former ambassador said.

Cunningham called the “train, advise and assist” strategy currently employed by the U.S.’s coalition with NATO, EU and UN in Afghanistan a plan that, “can enable the

Afghans to prevail.”

With a recent surge in Taliban attacks and activity, the U.S.’s opinion over the war appears nearly split. According to a 2015 Gallup Poll, which asked participants whether the U.S. made a mistake in pursuing military action in Afghanistan, 54 percent of Americans said the U.S. did not make a mistake in entering Afghanistan, while 42 percent said the U.S. did.

During the discussion portion of the event, Cunningham faced a range of questions illustrating this public divide over the war.

Some attendees asked about the importance of the war in Afghanistan, how to respond to tribal divisions in the country, the Syrian civil war and the U.S.’s response to the refugee crisis, the significance of the recent coup attempt in Turkey — a NATO member — and “deradicalization.”

Following the event Jennifer VanRiper, a graduate student in Maxwell studying international relations and public administration, said she saw the public’s anger over the war reflected in the questions.

While Cunningham did well in answering and responding to attendees, VanRiper said she didn’t think the former ambassador articulated the need and idea that a frail or unstable peace in Afghanistan is better than no peace at all.

“I’m not sure if he was fully able to express that,” VanRiper said. sfogozal@syr.edu

CHIME AFTER

CHIME Chimemasters’ traditions continue with new bells

By Alison Boghosian asst. copy editor

A

70-foot ladder ascends into the dark cavern of the Crouse College bell tower. The rungs are rusty and worn, after years of bearing students who covered the walls of the tower with graffiti, their scrawled names connecting generations of people who climbed up.

The people who have signed the walls of the tower all have one thing in common: they once carried the responsibility of chiming the bells for the campus to hear like clockwork, echoing out across SU three times a day, five days a week.

The original bell ringers were succeeded by the Chimemasters, an elusive and exclusive group of students who carry on the tradition of ringing songs on the Crouse chimes to this day.

With the installation of four new bells in August, the Chimemasters’ options for new songs to play expanded significantly. These additions were part of the summer construction projects detailed in the Campus Frame-

work, which also included maintenance on the 10 current bells and a new automatic chiming system.

Before, we only had 10 bells, I always say it’s like having 10 letters of the alphabet and trying to write poetry.

With 14 bells it opens new possibilities.

John Downing associate professor and chimemasters’ faculty adviser

Since alumni became a main support of the improvement project, dubbed “Crouse College Chimes Project,” past Chimemasters gathered at SU on Saturday for an alumni reunion and bell demonstration. The event gave them the opportunity to reflect on their college

memories and admire the improvements they helped materialize.

Nick Abelgore, a Chimemasters alumnus who graduated from SU in May, said he was amazed that the new bells have already been installed, and added that the alumni reunion is an affirmation of how much he and his peers accomplished.

“We have taken it to a new level,” he said.

While Abelgore was at SU, he watched the Chimemasters grow. He watched the music they play become more complex as song after song was added to the tower’s songbook.

“We try to keep our repertoire as upto-date as possible, with each member arranging at least two songs per month,” said current Chimemaster Charles Van Tassel, a junior music composition and music history and culture double major.

“We have pieces that range from Gregorian chants all the way to recent pop stars like Sia and Katy Perry,” he said. “We are encouraged to do arrangements of songs that people will recogsee chimemasters page 10

Juice Jam is one of the premier music events at Syracuse University, and with the mini festival comes incredible festival style.

Trends for this year’s Juice Jam include high-waisted shorts, distressed jeans, band tees and graphic tees and anything floral, fringe or crochet.

Take a floral dress up a notch by pairing it with a light crochet or fringe vest and booties. For an indie-chic style try mixing ornate patterns and prints. If you are going for an edgier look, try pairing distressed jeans and a cropped vintage tee with combat boots or Chuck Taylors.

As far as hair goes, braids of all kinds are having a real moment in the beauty world right now. Try your hand at a fishtail braid for a boho look or tie two small ones on each side of your hair for a loose crown braid.

Make your hairstyle your own by accessorizing it with diverse hair accessories. Incorporate an embellished headband, patterned bobby pins or a decorative bow to pair with your outfit for a more original look.

Attendees at this year’s Coachella and Lollapalooza accessorized by donning some seriously stacked jewelry. Try this by piling on multiple eclectic rings, funky bracelets or long, layered necklaces. Keep the originality factor by painting your nails a pastel purple or a metallic color for an edgier look.

Make sure you take into account the venue when planning out your outfit. The ground of Skytop Field can wreak havoc on your favorite pair of shoes, and anything with a heel — forget it. You should also certainly steer clear of flip flops or sandals — your toes will get stepped on if you plan on going anywhere near either of the stages.

Instead, opt for a pair of combat boots, fringe booties or comfortable sneakers like Vans or Chuck Taylors. If it rains on or before Juice Jam, rain boots are the perfect cute and functional way to go.

We all know the unpredictability of Syracuse weather, so forget the forecast and make sure you are equipped for anything. An essential way to do this is through layering your look. Bring a flowy kimono, flannel or a light jacket to pair with your outfit to use if it gets chilly later on. If you end up not needing it, it can serve as an added accessory tied around see juice

chimemasters nize so that we connect more with people on campus.”

Way before the new bell additions, back in 1889, the original nine Crouse bells were installed during Crouse College’s construction, according to the summer 2016 issue of Syracuse University Magazine. John Crouse, who served as a University Trustee at the time, bought the bells for about $5,000.

The bells’ original pitches encompassed a C-major scale and also included a B flat. In 1937, a tenth bell was added, contributing a high D to the nine-note range, according to the magazine.

For many years, it was the brothers of Delta Kappa Epsilon who were responsible for ringing the bells, except during World War II, when the task was handed to the sisters of Alpha Phi, according to the magazine. There is even a legend that TV personality Dick Clark, who graduated from SU in 1951 as a brother of Delta Kappa Epsilon, etched his name into the sacred walls of the bell tower.

But when the brothers of DKE left campus in 1985, music students and staff organized the Chimemasters and took over the responsibility of ringing the bells, according to the magazine.

Now, three times a day, a member of the Chimemasters scales the ladder up the tower of Crouse College to a platform where the wooden levers that ring the bells are located. Once in position, they ring out a tune of their choice.

Students have total control over the music they play, said Joseph Downing, an associate professor in the Setnor School of Music and the Chimemasters’ faculty advis-

er. He added that students tend to chime music that is congruent with the mood or the weather on campus — a rainy day might bring a solemn hymn, while a sunny day merits a bouncy Broadway tune.

Of course, not every song fits the range the bells can accommodate, warranting that each piece must be arranged accordingly.

Downing described the addition of the four new bells as a “new chapter” for the Chimemasters. Because the original bells have stood for so long, he said it is a significant change to have added four more notes.

“Before, we only had 10 bells,” Downing said. “I always say it’s like having 10 letters of the alphabet and trying to write poetry.

With 14 bells it opens new possibilities.”

With new possibilities now in the Chimemasters’ reach, they may make some new selections that resonate with the SU community.

Downing said that with the addition of an F sharp and high E, F and G notes, students will be able to play songs that were not possible before, most notably “The Star Spangled Banner.”

Abelgore said that while he was a member, people would often go into Crouse and tell Michelle Taylor, the assistant director for music operations at SU, that a song they heard made their day.

“I just liked how exclusive it was and and how we’re kind of an undercover organization, but we reach out to everyone on campus in a subtle way,” Abelgore said.

The group certainly is exclusive — not just anyone can become one of the legendary Chimemasters.

Abelgore said the responsibility gets handed off among students when new members are invited by current members.

He said the Chimemasters is a mixed group of people, spreading across different

majors at SU. While people on campus might know one of their friends rings the chimes, he said, no one except the Chimemasters can account for every person who belongs to the group, which is how they create a mysterious aura around the organization.

While all Chimemasters have musical experience and some are students of the Setnor School, Downing said anyone who can read basic rhythms and read the treble clef is capable of playing the bells.

But he also said being a Chimemaster is a big commitment for students, since the chimes are scheduled to ring three times per day on weekdays at 8 a.m., 11:45 a.m. and 6 p.m. for 15-minute intervals. Members are free to ring on weekends too, but not after 9 p.m., he said.

The bells are also often rung outside of the normal times for special occasions, whether they’re happy or solemn. The alma mater rings out across campus before football games, and both the alma mater and “Amazing Grace” are played at the annual memorial service that commemorates the lives of the 35 SU students who were killed in the Pan Am Flight 103 attack on Dec. 21, 1988.

Following the alma mater and “Amazing Grace,” Downing personally tolls the bell for each of the 35 students who lost their lives in the bombing.

These traditions are one aspect of what makes the bells such a memorable part of SU for students who have and still continue to walk the campus.

“They play in the morning when you arrive and the evening when you leave,” Downing said. “Any occasion, whether it’s joy or sadness, the bells are usually a part of that.”

You cannot bring a backpack, so a crossbody bag is perfect for the festival because it keeps your stuff secure and your hands free. Some key items you should bring in your bag include Chapstick, an umbrella and sunglasses.

Because the festival falls on a Sunday, that means Sunday football. A consistent trend for both guys and girls at Juice Jam is wearing a jersey or t-shirt supporting their team.

WAKE AND BAKE Modern Malt brings old-school food back to Armory Square

1

By Angelica Welch contributing writer

M

odern Malt, the 1950s styled gastro-diner that took Armory Square by storm in February of 2015, recently branched out and opened a separate location based on all things baked.

Modern Malt Bakeshop, conveniently located a few doors down from the original location at 315 Clinton St., opened in early September to both serve the greater needs of the restaurant and provide a light breakfast spot for the downtown community.

The existence of bakeries in Syracuse can be traced back to its rich immigrant culture. Traditionally, Italian bakeries were scattered throughout the city, but as trends changed and Armory Square was rebuilt, bakeries fell out of favor with mainstream culture.

Bread is still baked all over Syracuse – Pastabilites has its own bakery as well – but cakes, pastries and cookies have turned into accessories of coffee shops. While Modern Malt Bakeshop still serves coffee and tea, the main attraction of the storefront is its baked goods.

Most bakeries now live in the suburbs and on the North side, giving Modern Malt the opportunity to capitalize on a small market. This is the reasoning behind the extension, said head chef Anthony Donofrio.

Modern Malt gave the downtown community a trendy yet nostalgic place for gourmet diner food – but for a lot of people who work downtown, time is of the essence.

Convenience is key, said pastry chef Brandon Gore. The central location of the bakery allows easy access for people who work downtown. Also, as a separate, smaller location, it is easier for customers to come in and quickly grab a muffin and coffee on the way to work instead of being caught up in

the bustle of the diner.

The interior of the shop pays homage to the themes inside of Modern Malt – fun colors, retro yet modern – but at the same time it’s very warm and rustic.

The exposed brick walls and minimalist layout reminded me of those trendy bakeries in Brooklyn serving $5 croissants.

However, Modern Malt Bakeshop is softer on the wallet while still providing a high quality product.

The menu boasts various options for coffee and tea, pastries, muffins, cupcakes, cakes, toasts and bread. A few tables line the exposed brick wall, allowing for a nice quiet place to read a book or have a chat with a friend while enjoying breakfast.

When I went, I ordered their lemon poppy seed scone. Not only was the lemon poppy seed scone the size of my head, but it was also fluffy and light – unlike the usual dense, crumbly scone that gets all over your car as your trying to fit in breakfast on the way to work.

on the menu • Lemon poppy seed scone • Cheese Danish • Fruity Pebble bars • Assorted cheesecakes • Turnovers • Hand pies • Ciabatta • Chocolate and almond croissants • Cream puffs

I also highly recommend the cheese Danish – because who isn’t looking for an excuse to eat cheese at every meal? Safe to say, the Danish did not survive the ride home, and I debated going back the next morning for another.

In addition to their breakfast options, Modern Malt Bakeshop also creates beautiful cakes worthy of any celebration. Keeping in check with the eclectic style of Modern

Malt, these cakes are not your prototypical vanilla with chocolate frosting. During my visit they were working on a vanilla cake with a brown butter icing, apple filling and caramel on top that looked heavenly.

Modern Malt has had successful first year and a half of business, attracting university students to Armory Square since 2014. Opening up this location lessens the load on the kitchen. The separate bakery location also allows for the restaurant to be more self-sufficient without compromising quality.

A large portion of desserts and bread made in the bakery head right to the flagship diner, as well as to some other restaurants downtown. As a growing wholesale bread distributor, the bakery is reaching beyond

its duties of serving the restaurant and is slowly but surely becoming its own machine.

The increase of new business opening in the greater Armory Square area has been beneficial for all parties involved. Downtown is becoming much more than professionals and bars — it’s creating its own scene that is self-servicing. It seems that everyone does business with each other, not against each other.

Whether it is providing bread to pubs or meat to a diner, each individual business really values the others in the area. Yes, rivalry exists, but the people doing business downtown are there because there is a common desire to provide the community with a place to gather. anwelch@syr.edu

No. 20 Fighting Irish frustrates Syracuse in 1-1 draw

By Byron Tollefson asst. web editor

Kaleigh Olmsted received a pass and saw open field in front of her in the 76th minute.

As she burst ahead with the ball, Syracuse’s Alana O’Neill, in an act of desperation, lunged her body out to bring Olmsted down.

Olmsted jumped right up and rushed to take the following free kick. O’Neill, clearly irritated, jumped in her face. Olmsted shoved her back and yelled at her.

“That’s the type of confrontation you find in the ACC,” O’Neill said. “I was frustrated with them playing quickly so I went in her face to prevent the short pass.”

Syracuse was justified in its frustration. The Orange had blown chance after chance in the box throughout the second half. Despite totaling 14 shots by game’s end, SU (7-1-2, 0-0-1 Atlantic Coast) was marred by poor finishing in a 1-1 tie to No. 20 Notre Dame (5-1-3, 0-0-1).

The last time Syracuse beat or tied a ranked opponent was Sept. 22, 2013, when the Orange tied No. 18 Duke, 2-2.

“Lack of composure,” head coach Phil Wheddon said. “In ACC play, you have less time and space than you think you have. We have to take shots sooner.”

The Fighting Irish dominated possession for the first 20 minutes but were unable to capitalize, thanks to Courtney Brosnan. In the first eight minutes, Brosnan made three diving saves, earning applause from the crowd. She finished the game with six saves.

Syracuse finally got a legitimate opportunity on a corner kick in the 33rd minute. Jessica Vigna crossed it to Stephanie Skilton, who despite facing the other way, headed the ball off the top right post. The ball bounced to Eva Gordon, who fired it into the net.

But that proved to be SU’s best shot on net.

The Orange attack consisted of three tendencies: inaccurate corner kicks and crosses, overshooting through balls and shots in the box that

sailed nowhere near goalie Kaela Little.

In the 53rd minute, Notre Dame capitalized on its own corner. Taylor Klawunder headed a cross toward the bottom right corner. Maddie Iozzi stretched out her leg but it narrowly went into the net.

The game stayed tied entering into sudden death overtime. Right after the kickoff, Gordon sped past her defender and received a perfect pass forward from Sheridan Street.

Gordon missed wide left.

Brosnan, who had jumped up and down in hopes of a game-winner, fell straight to the ground in disbelief. The teams hardly had real chances on net through two periods of extra time.

“We have to capitalize on the chances we do get,” Gordon said, “because in the ACC those opportunities are going to get slimmer and slimmer.”

used a phrase, “Don’t tell me about the pain, just deliver the baby” (he says it’s been shortened to “Don’t tell me about the pain” for sensitivity reasons).

The problem at SU is it has been and will be all about the pain, and it’ll be that

way for a while because the process is going to be painful. Instituting new systems without the players you need to run them naturally causes problems and takes time. Delivering the baby, that might take a little longer.

“When we get there someday,” Babers said, “that will be a heck of a day.”

Courtney Brosnan anchors SU defense in tie with UND

By Matt Liberman staff writer

Monica Flores sent a corner kick flying into the box. Bodies from both sides flew toward notre dame 1 the ball, but above syracuse 1 everyone else, Syracuse goalie Courtney Brosnan rose up and punched it away.

The ball sailed outward, but was recovered by Notre Dame. Another shot attempt led to a scrum around the left goal post and Brosnan aggressively dove to gobble up the ball.

In the 1-1 draw against the No. 20 Fighting Irish (5-1-3, 0-0-1 Atlantic Coast) at SU Soccer Stadium on Sunday, the Orange (7-1-2, 0-0-1) was outshot for the first time all season. Brosnan saw 16 shots come her way. The previous high against Syracuse this season was Buffalo’s 11 and the Orange managed to shut out the Bulls. Brosnan came away with six saves and was the backbone of the Syracuse defense.

“I’ve said time and time again that Courtney is one of the best in the ACC,” SU head coach Phil Wheddon said. “I think that was

very clear today.”

In only the second minute, Brosnan found herself on the ground after diving back to deflect a shot up and over the crossbar.

Notre Dame controlled the beginning of the first half and was relentless on the attack.

After 22 minutes the Fighting Irish had generated five shots and four corner kicks, keeping Brosnan constantly on her toes.

“I thought they dominated for the first 20 minutes of the game,” Wheddon said. “It’s important to have a big-time goalkeeper.”

The Orange began to settle down and find its rhythm after Notre Dame’s fifth shot attempt.

SU began to generate some offense and ease the pressure on Brosnan. An Eva Gordon goal in the 33rd minute put the Orange up 1-0.

Her one slip up came in the 53rd minute.

A scrum in front of the goal left Notre Dame’s Taylor Klawunder wide open on the right side of the goal and she eased a header off a corner into the back left side, past Brosnan.

“Courtney was a bit unlucky,” midfielder Carolin Bader said. “She held us in the game.”

When teammates Alana O’Neill and Sydney Brackett were wandering around the box try-

ing to find opponents to mark before a corner kick, Brosnan yelled their names, positioned them and pointed back to her head coach, who had been trying and failing to get O’Neill’s and Brackett’s attention to get them in the right spot.

Notre Dame continued its pressure on goal throughout the rest of the game and Brosnan continued to stifle the UND attack

with diving saves.

Brosnan left the field after the game with grass stains on her jersey and turf in her hair.

“The competition is amazing and I love facing this big competition,” Brosnan said.

Behind two first-half goals from Emma Lamison, No. 1 Syracuse (7-0, 2-0 Atlantic syracuse 4 Coast) continued its wake forest 2 undefeated start to the season with a 4-2 win over No. 11 Wake Forest (4-3, 0-2) on Sunday at Kentner Stadium in Winston-

Salem, North Carolina. All four SU goals came in the first half.

Regan Spencer had a relatively slow afternoon in the net for the Orange, seeing four shots on goal. The senior goalie saved one shot and allowed two goals.

Lamison jumped on top of the Demon Deacons defense early, smashing a goal off of a rebound just 2:32 into the game, assisted

by Liz Sack. Twenty minutes later, after

Wake Forest tied the game at one, Lamison buried her second goal of the game, again on a rebound, to push the score to 2-1. It was her fourth goal of the season.

Less than a minute later, Jennifer Bleakney slotted a goal past Wake Forest goalie Cat O’Connor to put the Orange up 3-1.

Annalena Ulbrich assisted on the goal.

Lies Lagerweij scored the fourth and final goal for the Orange late in the first half,

assisted by Elaine Carey and Nijsje Venrooy.

It was Lagerweij’s eighth goal on the season, putting SU up 4-1 heading into halftime.

The Demon Deacons got a goal back in the second half courtesy of Nicola Pluta, cutting the SU lead to 4-2. But a two-goal lead was enough as the SU defense held steady the remainder of the game. SU has yet to allow more than two goals in a game this season. mjfel100@syr.edu

stock watch STOCK DOWN Eric Dungey Eric Dungey was effective in the first quarter, helping the Orange drive down the field and to 17 unanswered points. And his final stat line settled at 32-for-48, 350 yards passing, two touchdowns and two interceptions. His play throughout the rest of the game, though, was worse than the stat line made it seem. He threw several inaccurate passes without the necessary zip.

Special teams A week after Dino Babers said the Orange “dominated” the special teams game, SU struggled. Syracuse had an illegal substitution on a punt return that gave USF a first down. The

Orange also suffered a delay of game penalty on its own punt that pushed Sterling Hofrichter to the back of the end zone. One of Hofrichter’s punts was returned for a touchdown.

Depth SU announced that starting defensive backs Antwan Cordy and Juwan Dowels were lost for the season before the game.

Once Saturday arrived, Syracuse’s depth took even more hits. Starting safety Kielan Whitner did not dress and starting center Jason Emerich could not go. Lineman Omari Palmer left the game in the third quarter after getting shaken up and several other plays including Kayton Samuels, Philips and Strickland, sat out plays because of apparent injuries. jrmettus@syr.edu | @jmettus

SOUTH FLORIDA 45, SYRACUSE 20 dailyorange.com @dailyorange sept. 19, 2016 • PAG E 16

DINO BABERS’S up-tempo offense has found a way to live up to its billing in certain spots. Syracuse has run 101.5 plays per game, the most against FBS teams in the country, and averages nearly 482 yards in those games.

Change is painful; change isn’t easy; change takes time

C

hange ain’t easy. And it’s not quite time for Syracuse to panic after losing two games to what should be a top-five team in Louisville and a team that will likely be ranked at some point this season in South Florida.

SU has shown growth in each of those games. It’s also shown the pain it’ll take to get where head coach Dino Babers thinks the team can end up.

The Orange outscored the Cardinals for two-thirds of the game, 28-27, and romped in the first quarter against the Bulls, jetting out to a 17-0 lead. In 53 minutes, 42 seconds of game time, Syracuse has outscored those two opponents, 45-21.

Then there’s the pain: the other 66 minutes, 18 seconds. In that time, UofL and USF obliterated Syracuse, 65-3. For the third time in as many games, the Orange ended with Zack Mahoney under center because each one has been out of reach — either good or bad.

“For the most part, for the offense to f low, you have to have weapons all across the

board,” Babers said. “That’s when it really gets to be good because it doesn’t matter what they take away. You’ve always got a weapon somewhere else. We’re not there yet. We’re not there today.

“We will get there someday.”

Three games in, Syracuse (1-2, 0-1 Atlantic Coast) has looked as expected — just like former SU head coach Scott Shafer’s players playing in a system that really doesn’t fit them yet, especially on defense. SU has allowed 649.5 yards per game against FBS teams, good for last in the country. The next closest is Texas Tech, which allows 612 yards per game to FBS teams, and only three teams allow 600 or more yards per game.

Syracuse has a long way to go, and it’s not always going to be pretty. But to turn the program around, it has to get worse before it gets better.

Babers said he was unwilling to put ceilings on the season, but that also means he didn’t put a floor on the season either.

“Give us the time, it’ll work,” Babers said before the season. “It’s a proven product. It’ll work. Just don’t be quick to judge.”

This qualifies as quick to judge, but the offense has found a way to live up to its billing in spots.

The Orange has run 101.5 plays per game, the most against FBS opponents in the country according to TeamRankings.com, and averages nearly 482 yards in those games.

But Babers has taken over possibly the leasttalented Syracuse team since Doug Marrone replaced Greg Robinson. Mix that in with the injuries SU has suffered and it’s no surprise the season has started the way it has.

Unlike Marrone or Shafer, Babers has an offense and defense that aren’t used as much by other teams. Putting both in has shown Syracuse was understandably unready for either.

Fans were excited by the Baylor-style spread.

But Babers said when he came to SU the system see libonati page 12

STOCK UP Dontae Strickland, sophomore running back

Syracuse (1-2, 0-1 Atlantic Coast) charged to a 17-point lead over South Florida in a near-perfect first quarter. But then SU faltered, giving up 28 unanswered points in the second quarter and falling to the Bulls (3-0), 45-20. Here’s a look at some players and units that stood out.

Dontae Strickland was the Syracuse offense’s workhorse through the first quarter. Eight of SU’s 16 plays on its opening drive were handoffs to Strickland. He muscled out 45 total yards on that possession, which ended in a score. He finished the first quarter with 15

rushes for 75 yards and ended the game with 30 rushes for 127 yards — SU’s first 100-yard rusher since the first game of 2015.

Ervin Philips, junior wide receiver Ervin Philips caught 10 passes for a career-high 95 yards and a touchdown. The score was the most impressive of his catches because he dove across the middle of the end zone to make the grab.

Sean Riley, freshman wide receiver and punt returner Sean Riley hadn’t seen a ton of playing time, but against South Florida he was the team’s primary kick returner. He returned eight kickoffs for 193 yards, including a long of 41 yards. He did look shaky on one punt along the sideline, which he muffed, but it luckily deflected it out of bounds. see stock
