The overhaul of Archbold Gymnasium will cost about $50 million

By Sara Swann news editor

Syracuse University’s renovation of Archbold Gymnasium to become “The Arch” is moving quickly, said Pete Sala, vice president and chief campus facilities officer.

The Arch was a main focus in Sala’s presentation on the Campus Framework held Wednesday. The Arch will be the university’s new health and wellness center, and an additional 7,000 square-feet will be added to the building. Some of the features include a training swimming pool, four new basketball courts, a rock climbing wall and other facilities for indoor sports.

“Archbold is in desperate need for

photos courtesy of syracuse university renovation,” Sala said.

He added that one of the goals for the Arch is for it to be used as a green space for SU community members during the winter months.

More information and details regarding the plan for the Arch will be released in the spring 2017 semester, Sala said. Currently, SU is planning to have the project completed by August 2018.

About 40 SU community members gathered inside the Joyce Hergenhan Auditorium inside Newhouse 3 for Wednesday’s Campus Framework open forum. The update was the third of six open forums that will be given in a two-month time span. see framework page 7

Former Whitman dean Kenneth Kavajecz’s misdemeanor of patronizing a prostitute occurred in March, when he allegedly agreed to pay an undercover police officer posing as a prostitute for sex, according to KAVAJECZ Syracuse.com.

Kavajecz, 51, then-dean of Syracuse University’s Martin J. Whitman School of Management, allegedly agreed to pay $80 for sex to the undercover officer around 8 p.m. on March 9 at the Candlewood Suites on South Bay Road, according to arrest reports cited

by Syracuse.com.

Kavajecz was charged Sept. 13 and soon thereafter was removed from his position as dean. He was also placed on leave from his faculty position. He will appear in Salina Town Court on Sept. 29.

His arrest was part of a larger prostitution sting, the Onondaga County Sheriff’s office

announced Wednesday, according to Syracuse.com.

Including Kavajecz, eight people are facing charges as part of the sting carried about by the sheriff’s office and the New York State Police, according to Syracuse.com. They were each charged with patronizing a prostitute in the third degree.

Four phone calls to the Onondaga County Sheriff’s office went unreturned Wednesday evening.

The sting operation took place over several months. Here are each of the people facing charges in addition to Kavajecz, according to Syracuse.com: • Tyler Frisbie, 31, of Cortland • Daniel Gildea, 33, of Watertown • Clifford Gladle, 41 of Syracuse • Dylan Johnson, 24, of North Syracuse • David Poorman, 55, of Worcester, Massachusetts • Michael Washo, 46, of Cicero • Jeffrey Wood, 51, of Cicero All seven people listed above were charged Sept. 19, according to Syracuse.com. mdburke01@syr.edu

SU student reports robbery near campus

By Michael Burke asst. news editor

A Syracuse University student was robbed Sunday by three unknown males, according to a Department of Public Safety notice. The robbery was similar in nature to one that occurred Sunday night, when three unknown boys stole an SU alumna’s purse.

The student reported to DPS that at 3:30 a.m. Sunday, he was approached on the 300 block of Stratford Avenue by the three males, who stole his personal property. One of the suspects displayed “what appeared to be a firearm,” the student reported to DPS. A white vehicle then approached and ordered the student to enter. The vehicle fled in an easterly direction before releasing

the student a short distance from the crime scene, according to the DPS notice. The student suffered minor injuries.

A similar robbery happened Sunday at 8:57 p.m., when three boys between the ages of 12 and 14 approached an SU alumna on the 500 block of Stratford Avenue and forcibly stole the woman’s purse before fleeing in a vehicle.

The student who was robbed Sunday at 3:30 a.m. reported the robbery to DPS on Monday, according to the notice. One of the three males who robbed the student was reported as wearing a white T-shirt.

Additionally, one of the three boys who robbed the SU alumna was possibly wearing a white T-shirt, according to a separate DPS notice. mdburke01@syr.edu

THIRSTY thursday | all natural from the farm sangria

Bottled sangria best served over ice, fruit

By Monique Iuster contributing writer

We’re about a month into school now, so you may be starting to get bored of your go-to alcoholic beverage. If that’s the case, it may be time to mix it up with a fun, fruity twist on your typical red wine. Try out a personal favorite of mine: sangria.

Sangria is a Spanish drink typically made with red wine, juice, fresh fruit, sugar and a bit of brandy, and usually served in a large pitcher.

However, you can also buy it bottled at your local supermarket.

I recently studied abroad in Spain, so I was a little bit nervous about buying bottled sangria.

Luckily, I was able to find some that is bottled in Spain and imported to the United States, called All Natural From The Farm Sangria.

One of the best parts of sangria is the fresh fruit bobbing around in the drink. Since this sangria is bottled, it needs a bit of preparation, so I cut up some oranges, apples and lemons and dropped the fruit into my cup with some ice.

When the fixings were all ready, I opened the bottle and poured the dark red-violet liquid

into my cup. The drink looked very similar to a light red wine, but with a prominent purple tint.

The drink smelled like black cherry with hints of citrus and brown spices such as cinnamon and cloves.

The liquid is sweet and potent without being too thick or overwhelming. It’s thinner than red wine and tastes like something between juice and wine with hints of citrus fruit and cherries and a slight touch of cinnamon.

Once I swallowed the sangria, I was left with a taste similar to the one you get when you drink pomegranate juice.

After the drink is gone comes my favorite part: the wine-drenched fruit left at the bottom of the glass.

The lemons, oranges and apples in my sangria were the best for topping off that glass. Other common fruits to add to this sangria are pineapple, blackberries and sometimes even grapes.

I recommend enjoying sangria chilled. I usually drop a few ice cubes in the glass to keep it cold on a nice day. All Natural From The Farm Sangria sells for about $10 a bottle and has 5.3 percent alcohol. mciuster@syr.edu

C-SPAN bus makes brief stops in Syracuse

By Michael Burke asst. news editor

When Peter Sugatt meets students, they usually aren’t familiar with C-SPAN — until he mentions that it’s the “boring channel.”

“As soon as I say boring, it’s like, ‘Oh yeah!’” Sugatt said.

Sugatt is the driver this week of the C-SPAN bus, which is making its rounds through central and upstate New York. The bus stopped Wednesday in Syracuse, making appearances at Onondaga Community College and LeMoyne College.

C-SPAN is a nonprofit cable station — owned by the cable television industry — that broadcasts federal government proceedings.

The C-SPAN bus is on the road

for 10 months of the year. It’s one of the few ways the network can advertise, since the station doesn’t air commercials.

Even if we’re on the road, we have a camera and we can have people on the bus and have a full production.

Janae Green marketing representative for c-span

The bus typically stops at different universities and high

schools on its tours.

“The purpose is really educational outreach, just to show students what C-SPAN has to offer,” said Jenae Green, a marketing representative for C-SPAN. Green said the touring schedule for the bus is pre-planned, and C-SPAN reaches out to universities and high schools in the area of its stops to gauge their interest in hosting the bus.

C-SPAN representatives contacted LeMoyne officials about a month ago to ask whether the bus could make a stop at the college, said Joe Della Posta, director of communications for the college.

“We just thought it was a great opportunity for education

for the students and everybody who works here,” Della Posta said. “Especially with the election season.”

In addition to Syracuse, the bus has made and will make several stops in the state this week.

It was in Buffalo on Monday and Rochester on Tuesday, and will be traveling to Albany Thursday.

It will then make its way to Manhattan on Friday morning and Long Island that afternoon, and then to Hofstra University — the host of the first presidential debate. The debate, between Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton and Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, will be held Monday night. see c-span page 4

Federal grant to support Connective Corridor

By Satoshi Sugiyama asst. news editor

Part of a nearly $10 million federal grant will be awarded to improvement work for the Syracuse Connective Corridor, Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.) and Sen. Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) announced Wednesday.

The $475,000 grant is earmarked for improvements on East Genesee Street, a road used by the Connective Corridor that connects

Syracuse University to the city’s downtown area, according to a press release from Schumer’s office.

The remaining money will be used for an extension of the Onondaga Lake Trail from the New York State Fairgrounds to the southern lakefront as well as a 2.2-mile pedestrian and bicycle trail from West Jefferson to West Colvin streets in the Onondaga Creek Corridor.

The grant was made available as a result of the Federal Highway Administration and New

York State Department of Transportation unlocking the federal fund that had not been spent for transportation projects ten years ago, according to the release. That funding could not be reused until now because of federal regulation, according to the release.

“For over a decade, funds that could have been spent on critical infrastructure projects in Syracuse and Onondaga County have been under lock and key, guarded by federal bureaucracy,” Schumer said in

the release. “But now this money has been unlocked and can be used in Onondaga County on criticallyneeded projects that are ready to go.”

Gilibrand said in the release she is pleased the funds are available to use.

“Communities across Central New York need access to modern infrastructure in order to stay competitive with the rest of the state, and these transportation funds will help us achieve that goal,” Gillibrand said. ssugiyam@syr.edu

Study: College students use more marijuana, less opioids

By Nicole Valinote contributing writer

American college students use more marijuana and less opioids, a study from the University of Michigan found.

The researchers analyzed behavioral trends among college students since 1980 by administering surveys to between 1,000 and 1,500 college students annually.

The Monitoring the Future study found the number of college students who have reported using marijuana within the past 12 months has increased from 30 percent in 2006 to 38 percent in 2015.

Susan Scholl, the internship coordinator at the David B. Falk College of Sport and Human Dynamics, said with young people

the belief that marijuana does not have negative effects has been a theme.

Ignatius Ijere, a professor at Falk who specializes in addiction studies, said people gravitate toward drugs that they perceive to be low risk.

“Technically, in addiction there’s nothing like high-risk or low-risk drugs,” Ijere said. “They all impact the neurons and the neurotransmitters.”

For example, Ijere said, studies have shown that marijuana use can create neurological damage that causes long-term memory loss and the inability to concentrate.

Just because marijuana use is not having a current neurological impact, it doesn’t mean it will not impact them later in life, Ijere said.

Marijuana use comes with more immediate risks, as well. When it comes to illicit drugs, the user can’t always be sure of whether the substance is laced. Scholl said she has seen cases of marijuana laced with Raid — an insect repellant.

“Marijuana use has been with us a long time. It’s going to continue to be with us.

And like drug use itself, certain groups may wax and wane,” Scholl said.

The MTF study also found the use of opioids, such as heroin and painkillers, has decreased in college students. The study reported the percent of college students using heroin had dropped from 0.6 percent in 1998 to 0.1 percent in 2015.

Despite these results, Ijere said many studies have found heroin use remains high

among college students, possibly because they want to remain relaxed while dealing with school demands.

“Heroin gives them that euphoric experience to be able to calm down,” Ijere said.

Scholl added that heroin use is on the rise with many groups of people across the United States. While the desired effect from opioids for young people may be euphoria, older generations may use opioids for pain management.

“There are so many reasons that people use mood-altering chemicals. The reasons will change. They are as unique as the individual,” Scholl said. “And we’re always going to have mood-altering chemicals with us.” nvalinot@syr.edu

Social media postings influence professors’ promotions

By Benjamin Gramley contributing writer

Social media has increasingly become a part of professional, educational and personal lives. Now it also plays a part in whether professors get promoted.

The American Sociological Association recently released a report which found that social media has become a prominent player when a professor is up for promotion.

Faculty members at colleges and universities on a tenure track are generally hired as assistant professors. After about six years they are evaluated for tenure and promotion to associate professor, said Laurel Smith-Doerr, a professor at the

University of Massachusetts and contributing member for the study, which was conducted by a task force.

“This task force was engaged to think about what it means for assistant professors to be evaluated based on their participation in public engagement, especially on social media,” Smith-Doerr said.

Posts on blogs and Twitter and “opensource journals” are now being used to access academic information, joining the ranks of past juggernauts in that field, such as proprietary journals, according to the report.

“In short, the demand for accessible scholarly information has grown tremendously with the advent of free digital plat-

forms,” the assigned ASA task force team concluded in its paper.

The report mainly touches on four groups: the committees for promotion and tenure, to offers guidelines for their deliberations on candidates for promotion and tenure; candidates, to see how interactions through social media affect the decisions made; new social media gatekeepers, to start dialogue on how to be fair in what they choose using quality while not reinforcing existing inequalities; and sociology, to maintain transparency and accountability.

“One thing I think the report raises that is important to note is that we know that double standards exist in evaluation

of women and minorities, so it is really important to consider how to ensure women and faculty of color are not being judged more harshly,” Smith-Doerr said.

“And if evaluating social media is not clear … it might exacerbate the unconscious biases by gender and race … that we all have.”

Social media has the power to raise the visibility and relevance of academic studies, according to the study.

However, the ASA warns against the negative aspects of social media, including falling into inequality, overworking and the sacrifice of “quality” for popularity and clickbait.

ITT Tech closing exposes model flaws

W

hat would happen if Syracuse University were to close forever?

While this thought, to us, is unimaginable, it is becoming reality at many schools across the country. Most recently, students at ITT Technical Institute have suffered this fate.

ITT Tech, a multi-campus and online institution that is run by for-profit company ITT Inc., sent an email to its 35,000 students earlier this month to let them know that all campuses would be closing immediately. This closure hits close to home with the ITT Liverpool campus, which is a mere four miles away from SU, and others nearby in Albany and Erie County.

To guide these stranded students, SU has decided to waive its $75 application fee for students coming from the shutdown Liverpool school. Though this is a kind gesture, the burden created by ITT Tech’s dishonest practices is far from SU’s responsibility.

In addition to about 35,000 students being school-less, about 8,000 employees, according to a press release from ITT Tech, across the now defunct campuses are without jobs. During this limbo, the focus should be on accommodating the students now left without a school.

The school claims that the straw that broke the camel’s back came when the United States Department of Education banned the school from enrolling new students who use federal financial aid. While unfortunate for ITT’s former students, the DOE was right to question the school’s financial stability. It would be negligent if the DOE knew that the school was putting the money of students and taxpayers at risk, and did nothing to stop it.

It’s awful to think that there are students who put aside thousands of

TAKIN’ CARE OF BUSINESS dollars and hundreds of hours just to be left out to dry by the institution that promised them everything.

What’s more is that many students were not the fresh-out-of-high school students that we see at SU, but working full-time to support their families.

These students don’t have time and income to spare.

The DOE gave ITT Tech students a few options. They can attempt to transfer their credits to another school and finish out their degrees there. Current students and those that left within the last 120 days are also being given the option to discharge any student loans they may have taken out to attend ITT Tech. But these students will not be allowed to transfer credits, and will essentially be required to start their education from scratch if they decide to enroll at another school.

35,000 The number of former ITT Tech students who have been left without a school

Currently, the DOE is encouraging schools like Onondaga Community College to accommodate ITT students with transfer credits and enrollment.

But ITT’s extremely flexible online programs and thorough financial aid were huge draws for students.

Not-for-profit schools like OCC may not be able to offer the same online capabilities, convenience and affordability as ITT Tech did, forcing many students to make the decision whether to abandon their

degrees altogether.

As an educator, Martin J. Whitman School of Management assistant professor Will Geoghegan couldn’t help but feel sorry.

“It’s just so sad for the students, I guess. Some of them have come from other schools that have closed down,” Geoghegan said. “Most of these for-profit schools, their credits are only accepted by other for-profit schools.”

ITT Tech was a for-profit college, meaning it could make money off of tuition and fees — distinct from the not-for-profit model that most universities, including SU, follow. Geoghegan said he believes the university sector may not be the best fit for the for-profit model.

“Even though we have a large endowment here, you know that no one is getting rich off of Syracuse University. The money is being piped back into the students, and if you are going to have predatory pricing and take advantage of these students it becomes problematic,” he said.

Regulating private establishments is tricky to do in a capitalistic environment, but the U.S. government would do well to keep a much closer eye on for-profit universities.

Considering the many laws that are in place to protect consumers for predatory marketing, it is surprising that for-profit schools haven’t already been cracked down on.

The reality of for-profit institutions is dimming as ITT’s collapse plays out. As it does, these ramifications should remind the government to regulate schools before they reach their breaking point and academic institutions to keep their students at the forefront.

Framework plan should be on SU student radar Among Syracuse University students, the general, prevailing attitude toward the Campus Framework plan is skepticism — but that’s only if you’re in the know. A large portion of the student body likely can’t explain what the Campus Framework is.

Syracuse University’s Fast Forward Syracuse plan is a threepronged initiative. Alongside the Academic Strategic Plan and Operational Excellence, the Campus Framework is the component of Fast Forward Syracuse dealing with the physical development of SU’s campus.

The framework plan spans over the next 20 years, but there are a number of near-term projects.

Among the changes proposed to campus are the National Veterans Resource Complex, renovations to the Carrier Dome and “The Arch” student life and recreation center.

One of the major improvements to campus has already been completed — the University Place promenade was ready for walking right at the start of school.

There are initiatives that affect students every day as they make their rounds to classes, the dining hall, the library and campus events. And because this plan is an important part in determining the future of student life, it’s important that students take note and get involved.

There is a wealth of public information on the framework online and there are open forums running all semester to give students increased access to the planning process. And yet SU’s student body still isn’t showing up for the Campus Framework.

Not only is there a low turnout across the university community, but those who do show up for forums tend to be older faculty members, Syracuse residents and alumni.

In these crucial forums, SU Vice President and Chief Facilities Officer Pete Sala presents updates on the work that is being done with the Campus Framework. And not only are there now additional construction-specific sessions, Sala also fields questions at the end of the forum. For those that can’t make it out to the forums, the Campus Framework website accepts comments electronically which are then often responded to by university representatives.

SU students should be taking advantage of these opportunities to engage with administrators working on the plan and have a firm understanding about what physical improvements are being made on campus. Even to critique the administration and its changes, students must do so from an informed standpoint.

Yes, it’s true these changes will be implemented over the next two decades and SU undergraduates may be wondering about the longterm relevance of the Campus Framework plan to life after the Hill. But as future alumni, the students of today should have a say — or at least a thought — in how SU looks when they return.

MAX Brown University among 1st schools to offer free tampons, pads to students Text by Kennedy Rose

rown University is now among the first institutions in the country to provide free tampons and pads in campus bathrooms.

The initiative reflects a growing trend in addressing issues associated with transgender people and has been replicated at other universities.

Viet Nguyen, president of Brown’s Undergraduate Council of Students, said inspiration for the initiative derived from New York City public schools’ movement toward providing free menstrual products and eliminating tampon taxes.

“We saw a lot of conversation going on in the higher-ed realm, but not a lot of action,” Nguyen said. “People were writing op-eds on why it was an issue, but there was no concrete action playing out. So we thought we could be the tipping point that moves this conversation to action.”

Molly Naylor-Komyatte, chief of staff on Brown’s Undergraduate Council of Students, said launching this kind of initiative at the university would make it one of the first schools on “such a large scale.”

Columbia University provides free pads and tampons through its health services, but not in all bathrooms across campus.

Being one of the first schools to have this initiative, we wanted to be very trans-inclusive going forward.

Viet Nguyen president of brown university’s undergraduate council of students

Syracuse University’s Student Association President Eric Evangelista said he foresees the possibility of SU implementing a measure to provide free menstrual products for students. This would be a multi-step process, but not challenging, he said.

SA’s Student Life chairs, Keelan Erhard and Anjani Ladhar, have already started going through the logistics of the financial costs and implementation with campus officials, Evangelista said.

SU’s first step toward implementation would be placing men-

strual products in women’s and gender-neutral bathrooms in residence halls, then moving to putting products in women’s and gender-neutral bathrooms in academic buildings before finally expanding to men’s rooms for transgender and gender-nonconforming inclusivity, Evangelista said.

“We are working as we speak to get it implemented,” he said.

The initiative at Brown will be paid for by its Undergraduate Finances Board, a studentrun organization that funds all of the student groups on campus.

The conversation started at the university back in April 2016 and continued into the summer when it came to working out how and when to launch the initiative, Nguyen said. Naylor-Komyatte and Nguyen worked closely to decide how to roll out the launch, which vendors the school should use and which kinds of products to offer.

Menstrual products will not only be offered in women’s bathrooms at Brown. The products will be available in all facilities, including men’s bathrooms. This is to also provide products to transgender students who are in the midst of transition as well as to provide products to all people going through menstruation on campus.

“Being one of the first schools to have this initiative, we wanted to be very trans-inclusive going forward,” Nguyen said. “We realized that not all people who identify as women menstruate and also people who don’t identify as women menstruate.”

Nguyen and Naylor-Komyatte said they hope that this move will spark a larger movement across the country.

“We wanted to make this project an initiative that moved the conversation even further forward,” Naylor-Komyatte said. krose100@syr.edu

framework The university released the Campus Framework draft on June 20, detailing plans for the physical SU campus over the next 20 years. The Campus Framework is one of the three parts in Chancellor Kent Syverud’s Fast Forward Syracuse initiative. The other two parts are the Academic Strategic Plan and the Operational Excellence Program.

Here are some of the other Campus Framework updates Sala included in his presentation on Wednesday:

its kind when it goes up here at Syracuse University,” Sala said. “I think we should all be proud of that.”

He added that SU has the oldest established ROTC program in the country and approximately 1,000 students on the SU campus are “somehow tied to a veteran or tied into the veterans services at the university.”

Sala also mentioned that the NVRC would have a significant economic impact on the Syracuse area. The complex is predicted to generate $300 million in regional economic impact, produce 300 high-paying jobs and create about 7,000 jobs indirectly, according to the report given to Syverud.

National Veterans Resource Complex SU proposed the National Veterans Resource Complex almost one year ago in a 107-page report filed to Syverud. The NVRC would act as a hub of research and programming related to veterans and military affairs.

To make room for the NVRC, Sala said the Hoople Building between the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications and Marshall Street will be demolished in late October.

SHoP was chosen as the designer for the NVRC in June. SU announced Tuesday that the first outside contractor hired for the construction of the NVRC is a veteran. The complex is set to be finished in June 2019.

Sala said the university is currently working on gaining federal funding for both the NVRC and the Carrier Dome renovation projects.

Once the NVRC is built it will include a 1,000seat auditorium, among other facilities. Sala said this new, larger auditorium will replace the smaller Grant Auditorium — which currently seats about 400 people — inside the David B. Falk College of Sport and Human Dynamics. The Institute for Veterans and Military Families will also be housed in the NVRC once it is complete — moving from its current location inside Falk.

“The NVRC will be the only building of

Schine Student Center The Campus Framework draft includes the Schine Student Center as part of the renovations and construction projects that will occur within the next 20 years. The draft suggests expanding Schine to include more space for student organizations and student life in general.

In the first Campus Framework open forum of the semester, Sala said the loading docks located on the back side of Schine near the Sheraton University Hotel and Conference Center will be removed. In Wednesday’s forum, he added that the project to remove the loading docks will take place in November.

Once the loading docks have been removed, SU will be able to extend Schine to Waverly Avenue, Sala said, which is part of the original plan detailed in the Framework.

Promenades In the Campus Framework draft, three promenades were proposed for the university. The University Place promenade was the first promenade to be proposed and built.

The other two promenades included in the Framework are the Academic Promenade and the Waverly Avenue Promenade.

However, Sala said during Wednesday’s open forum that the Waverly Avenue Promenade should not be called a “promenade.”

He said that was “poor word choice” because while Waverly Avenue will be redesigned, it will still be open to vehicular traffic unlike the other two promenades.

Accessibility improvements Accessibility has been a constant theme throughout the Campus Framework draft and discussions surrounding the 20-year plan for the university. Sala said Diane Wiener, director of the Disability Cultural Center at SU, has been instrumental in many of these discussions.

“With Diane’s help, we’ve come a long way very fast,” Sala said of the accessibility improvements being made to the SU campus.

In addition, Sala said the university has brought in an SU alumnus who uses a wheelchair due to a physical disability to help assess how accessible the campus is. The alumnus attended SU for five years in the 1990s.

One of SU’s goals with accessibility and mobility on campus is to make a 5 percent grade change so the physical campus is more accommodating to people with disabilities.

••• Three more Campus Framework open forums are planned for the months of September and October with the next one being on Sept. 26 from 3 to 4:30 p.m. in the Joyce Hergenhan Auditorium, located inside Newhouse 3.

Gender bias remains prominent in academia, study finds

By Yelisa Leiva staff writer

Gender bias is still prominent in the academic fields, especially through the presentation review process for conferences, a recent study suggests.

The research, which was published in the Journal of Language Evolution, investigated application review process for the 11th Biennial Evolution of Language conference organized by the University of Southern Mississippi and held in New Orleans, Louisiana.

Through an experiment, anonymous applications were given to reviewers without indicating the applicant’s gender.

Results showed women were more likely to be approved with more positive ratings in this manner and men scored far worse and were less likely to be accepted to speak at the conference.

The finding demonstrates the existence of gender bias, or the “Matilda effect,” a common issue in which women are less likely to have their achievements acknowledged in male-dominated areas of work or research, according to the study.

Tessa Verhoef, one of the conductors of the study, said in an email that the “Matilda effect” is not only an issue regarding the

opposite gender.

“The hard thing is that the Matilda effect isn’t a conscious thing. In our study we haven’t measured this, but other studies have shown that even women show the same biases against women,” Tessa said.

Pedro DiPietro, an assistant professor in the women’s and gender studies department at Syracuse University, said it all comes down to what society has constructed to be female and male.

“There is a binary understanding,” DiPietro said. “… Men are seen as more rational while women are viewed as passionate. Physical performance parallels

1993

The year the Matilda Effect was first described. Science historian Margaret W. Rossiter wrote about it in a science journal.

with intellectual capabilities.”

He remembers a time a student commented in one of his classes that in her high school there were sports and wellness classes. It was fine for young women to do basketball, but men who participated in yoga were frowned upon.

DiPietro added how bias can be reduced, as seen through the double-blind review of the study.

“Some claim that we live in a post-racial society because we have a black president, although there is obvious evidence that this isn’t the case, with issues such as “Black Lives Matter,” DiPietro said. “... There is the social conditioning of being ‘touched’ by privilege or disadvantage. In the case of the study, reviewers are ‘touched’ by male privilege, producing the bias.”

Verhoef published another paper that outlined the ways bias can be reduced through 10 rules in the review process for academic conferences. It includes making a speaker policy, counting the number of women and men attending the conference, making a diverse program committee, responding to resistance and supporting women at meetings.

DiPietro said society needs to show different ways of understanding knowledge by men and women in research or science, technology, engineering and math fields.

“All knowledge is situated — all come from specific histories. Men in their research are articulated, organized in a ‘masculine’ fashion, as opposed to women who are more ‘feminine.’ We can develop a culture in which we foster differences as

sources of strength,” he said.

Even in the EvoLang conferences the balance between men and women speakers has improved. Verhoef said they were mostly male before 2016, with nine out of 77 being female, but in the latest conference five female speakers were invited out of nine total.

Sarah Miraglia, an adjunct instructor in the sociology department at SU, conducted her own research, publishing and co-writing an article on gender bias in the STEM field.

Miraglia said she finds that despite gender bias, there is slow advancement of women in STEM, adding that gender inequality in the field needs to be addressed as early as elementary school through math and science programs.

DiPietro said it is not impossible to erase bias, which is an unconscious prejudice that is stemmed from cultural exposition.

“The question isn’t if (bias) can be controlled, but rather what kind of bias are you going to engage with?” he said. “That is the point of classes in feminist studies, or African American studies. Bias can be controlled through education. Otherwise, what is the hope of society?”

Count by count DELANEY GLASSFORD has been dancing for nine of her 16 years, but despite spending numerous hours in the dance studio, she does not want to become a professional dancer.

Glassford aims to become an engineer and is one of only four girls in her engineering class at her high school.

Syracuse City Ballet celebrates 20 years of turning out dancers

By Rachel Gilbert feature editor

O

ne, two, three, four.

Stephanie Datellas, clad in a bumblebee costume, whispered the counts, dancing across the narrow gray space, a trail of her fellow ballerinas in tow, barely avoiding columns supporting the ceiling.

“You can’t mouth the counts.”

The direction cracks across the space.

“You have to smile,” Kathleen Rathbun shouts across the room from behind a table, blocking only a small portion of the unforgiving wall-to-wall mirrors in the basement dance studio.

“You have to smile.”

Two, two, three, four.

It’s been 20 years since Datellas donned that bumblebee costume, but Rathbun’s voice still plays her in head the same way the smell of dried sweat and hairspray still clings to the walls.

Tucked away in the basement of Robinson Memorial Presbyterian Church in Syracuse, the pungent odor of dance pierces the nose upon entering the small, cramped studio.

The space has been acting as one of the classrooms for the Syracuse City Ballet for 20 years — 20 years of turning bumblebees into professional dancers. The company will begin its season Thursday with “An Intimate Evening With the Syracuse City Ballet.”

Rathbun founded the company in 1996. Many dancers train at Rathbun’s dance school — Ballet & Dance of Upstate New York, founded in 1990 — before filtering into the company.

She still teaches dancers ranging from ages 3 to 18 and has garnered a reputation for being tough on her students.

“I try to push people to beyond what they think they can do,” Rathbun said. “Life begins at the end

STEPHANIE DATELLAS began dance lessons at the age of 5. She is now the ballet mistress of the Syracuse City Ballet.

of your comfort zone.”

The pounding rhythm of drums fills the room, reverberating up through the floor and bouncing off the walls. A dancer leaps and spins across the floor, head whipping around to find its mark. When the music subsides, the room is instead filled with the ballerina’s heavy breathing.

The corps de ballet consists of 20 dancers between the ages of 14 and 18 and allows them the opportunity to gain stage time alongside professional dancers. Students have left the school and moved on to obtain dance degrees and roles with professional dance companies.

Two former members of the company will return this week to dance in the season premier: Rathbun’s daughter and Jake Casey, who now dances with the Cincinnati Dance Company.

“I remember when I was younger and training there and they would bring in guest artists and other professional dancers,” Casey said. “It was super influential for me.”

Datellas spent a number of years dancing professionally before returning to the company, where she now acts as the ballet mistress.

Ballet is gradually becoming more mainstream,

Datellas said. The norm of a tall, stick-thin girl is fading out with more muscular, less vertically-endowed dancers like Misty Copeland stealing the show.

Datellas likened ballet classes to the training regime of a professional athlete.

While the movements appear effortless, glistening beads of sweat turn to trickles as they track down the back of each dancer.

“Not everybody can do this — I hate to say it like that, but their feet are probably killing them,” Datellas said. “But they push through it. They have to.”

The dancer hunches over the barre at the back of the room, panting after completing a movement.

After a few moments, she straightens up, composes herself and joins her fellow ballerinas at the side of the studio.

Dancers spend up to five hours a day at the studio, seven days a week.

Sixteen-year-old Delaney Glassford has dedicated nine years to her craft, balancing dance and school.

Waking up at 6 a.m. every day, Glassford constantly snacks on pickles in addition to her regular diet to maintain a healthy electrolyte level, before

Your guide to Juice Jam — even if you don’t quite make it there

J

uice Jam is an occasion so magical, and so mystical, that it will almost make you forget you got drunk during the day last weekend too. One of the things so special about Juice Jam is that it successfully convinces hordes of students to willingly go to South Campus.

A combination of figuring out the bus system and the fact that most pregames start before the average population even wakes up on any other Sunday means that some of our teammates will inevitably not make it to the game.

But fear not my fair-livered friends, I am here to take you on a virtual tour of Juice Jam. So, step aboard this over-crowded bus full of new friends and let’s go to Skytop Field.

Here, walking in, you see a long line of students, who are usually very smart, genuinely thinking they are “pulling off” sobriety. Most of them already spilled some variation of their morning cocktails on themselves, and a few of them have their eyes closed, but I will give them this little victory.

Then you note there a few people in the line who are quiet, maybe even nervous.

While in this line they won’t tell you what they are doing to celebrate the day, but I can guarantee if you ask them any other time, you won’t get them to shut up about it.

Looking around, you see every guy seems to have had the same great and original idea this morning to either wear a Hawaiian shirt or a sports jersey — some even going above and beyond with a sweatshirt underneath. Power to the girls who again showed themselves as smarter by proving to have a little more variation in their wardrobe,

PATTY TERHUNE

I WRITE SINS, NOT COMEDIES even if they will probably be colder.

Walking in a little bit further, we see the line of porta Pptties on our left. Directly to the right of them you will notice someone sitting on the ground, crying. I’m not sure why.

No one’s sure why. They’re not even sure why.

By this point in the tour you might be feeling the drunchies. Luckily, as you can see directly ahead, there is a tent with food available. Unfortunately, Juice Jam does not feel the need to reward you for surviving another year like Mayfest does, so this food is not free. So, swipe away your “fake” money that you/your parents pay “real” money for on your SuperCard.

I’ll just list the rest of the things you will see, because they’re a blur to everyone who makes it anyway. Girl on a guy’s shoulders, weed, bouncy castle, someone you know whose name you forget, girl on a guy’s shoulders, someone ironically wearing the Juice Jam tank top, a drunk runner, your friends, weed, someone standing alone looking really lost, freshman seriously wearing the Juice Jam tank top, girl on a guy’s shoulders, music.

For those about to attempt to Juice Jam, for the first or fourth time, I salute you.

ballet heading to the studio for rehearsals — which can go as late as 10 p.m.

Glassford takes up to half an hour to get ready for rehearsal each day. Show days require between two and three hours of prep — time spent fixing hair and elaborate makeup.

A twisted, woven lock of hair spirals around a tight bun perched high on Glassford’s head.

Some girls sport simple buns, while others wear intricate designs on their heads, but each wisp and strand is glued tightly in place.

Posters hang on the wall of the studio entrance where each dancer has inscribed their goals for the coming rehearsal period.

Glassford’s focus is on her next performance.

“When I first go on, it’s like, ‘Oh my God, there’s thousands of people,’” Glassford said.

“After a while you just get into it and don’t even notice they’re there. I feel like I’m free.”

Three, two, three, four.

Datellas is now teaching her own choreography in a dress rehearsal for Thursday’s show. She shouts at her students in a similar manner to Rathbun 20 years ago.

“Rings, necklaces, jewelry — off.”

“Those nails have to go.”

“If Mrs. Rathbun were here and said, ‘No jewelry,’ would you be whining?”

Plain black leotards and pink ballet tights are the standard uniform for dancers. Their pointe shoes are constructed from paper mache, satin, leather and elastic.

Personality shines through in the cut of each dancer’s leotard. Some sport a straight back, others an intricate system of straps, one dancer has a sheer mesh back — a heavy contrast from the straight cut front.

Datellas announces that a small black choker will be added to Thursday’s costume and a collective groan reverberates around

the ballet barre and poster-lined studio walls.

The girls spend 15 minutes taping their toes, recalling horror stories about feet turned bloody and blistered from hours on pointe. One dancer compared pointe shoes to “a civil war on your feet.”

A pair of pointe shoes costs about $100, and can wear out in as little as two weeks. At any given time, each dancer could have up to 20 “dead pairs.”

The shoes cause the dancers to walk into the studio flat-footed and clunky, whacking the sprung dance floor with each step. But when the music starts, each ballerina snaps up, growing two inches and gliding across the room.

Datellas and the assistant ballet mistress, Rachael Cierniakoski, watch from the sidelines with a critical eye. By the end of the first run through, Cierniakoski has three pages of notes and corrections for the dancers.

Instructors spend years making notes and giving corrections to each dancer, molding them into the ballerinas rehearsing for shows that sell out, with audience members coming from as far away as Canada.

“Some of these girls I have known since they were born, so to see them evolve into the young women they are now with the talent they have — it makes it fun for us,” Datellas said.

Choreography is a collaborative process — Thursday’s show was created by Datellas and Cierniakoski. Many shows incorporate choreography from several of the school’s instructors.

“I’ll be teaching choreography of Kathleen’s and all of a sudden, I’ll get this memory of ‘Somehow I remember doing this at one point,’” Datellas said. “It makes it such a full experience because it comes full circle.”

Rathbun has no plans plans to retire, but is finally nearing a point where she feels she can — leaving the studio in younger hands that can take the company to the next

level. That step consists of expanding the company’s outreach program — bringing dance to Syracuse city school children — and obtaining a new space.

One corner of the studio boasts awards, photos and signed ballet shoes from dancers that owe their careers to Rathbun and the school.

Some of the photos that adorn the walls depict dancers who now have children — children that have just begun dance training with Rathbun.

“I always try to be the best role model I can be for them. Sometimes things get crazy in the theater when things aren’t working right and it’s difficult,” Rathbun said. “But we all kind of stick together.”

Four, two, three, four.

With only four days until the show opens, the partially-retired ballerina Datellas agreed to dance. Cierniakoski laughed and explained that it took some persuading — Datellas will make only the occasional cameo in a show.

Datellas instructed the girls to take five and shooed them into the hallway.

Wearing a loose top that read “Meet me at the barre” above a drawing of a martini glass decorated with a pair of ballet shoes, she began to dance.

Mouthing the movements to herself, she darted across the floor, twisting and turning in a modern, jazz-style routine.

She smiled to herself as she saw her young proteges peering in through the open door, drinking in her every movement. They sat in a train-like formation, one peering over the shoulders of the next, mouths hanging open in awe.

As Datellas whips around the space, her shoulder reveals a tattoo: Italian words in elaborate cursive. Her grandmother messily scrawled these words in a card presented to a young Datellas after a ballet recital.

Market promotes local spending, homemade art in Armory Square

By Divya Murthy staff writer

T

he signature red bricks and glass panels of downtown Syracuse give the House of S. Jaye at 233 N. Clinton St. a modest air. But the interior is quite different: creative designs on the walls collide with a checkerboard floor. Sam Randolph’s space for local artists is a melting pot of abstract art and refurbished furniture.

House of S. Jaye is where Syracuse’s third indie market will set up shop this Saturday.

Live music, small businesses and local artisans all promise a lively Saturday for those heading downtown.

Syracuse Indie Market isn’t the first of Randolph’s artistic ideas. The House of S. Jaye has previously opened its doors to art shows where the primary focus is on pieces that are made and sold locally. “‘The Man’ isn’t allowed in here,” Randolph said with a laugh, sitting relaxed on a vibrant couch in her studio.

There seem to be no corporate traces in the mesmerizingly quirky space that Randolph has set up for herself, which was initially used to organize art shows for her artist friends. She said her friends’ art was “modern and upbeat,” a step away from Syracuse’s typical aesthetic offering. From this, Ran-

dolph decided to have her very own art show.

“It’s kind of like a reflection of what I’m into. I’m all about helping and supporting artists and vendors, which is what I have been doing for the past few years,” Randolph said.

Randolph, a Baldwinsville native, created Syracuse Indie Market when she noticed artists weren’t the only ones wanting to display their work on her walls; artisans began cropping up at her events as well, and the space was perfect for their handcrafted items.

“There are all these people who make handmade items; they’re created with love and intention and they don’t know what to do with themselves,” said Randolph. “So that’s how Indie Market came into play. Different vendors and artists have the opportunity to sell their stuff.”

The first Indie Market came with the evolution of “Small Business Saturday,” which hosted direct sales. Consumers bought products from individuals who don’t represent retail or corporate chains since they make the products they sell.

The checkerboard floor becomes occupied by an average of 15 booths when the market takes over. Some vendors like to keep it simple with just a folding table as their storefront, whereas others may try to match their booth with all the colors that the House of S. Jaye exudes.

The Syracuse Indie Market hosts local artists, including Cuppa Candles, a stall that mixes its own fragrances for candles in homemade jars. courtesy of alexis emm

One of these booths is Cuppa Candles, a stall that gets a lot of attention from shoppers.

“She mixes her own fragrances for her candles, and then she takes vintage mugs, and then puts the candles in them. Some of the mugs she finds are so funny and amazing,” said Randolph.

Indie Market will feature live music with Billy Harrison, who owns “Music in the Air” studios.

“He does different lessons for different instruments, vocals, recordings and he’s also bringing his friend Grace, who sounds like an angel,” said Randolph.

Indie Market’s first year proved to be a huge hit with independent vendors and shoppers, and much to Randolph’s delight, Syracuse University students too.

“The first one was absolutely amazing,

it was packed in here,” said Randolph. “I couldn’t have asked for a better turnout. We had a huge amount of SU kids in here, and I’m like, sweet. I’ve been waiting for you this whole time.” said Randolph.

SU students at the first Indie Market weren’t there just for the pretty lights and the paintings; they were there to stay for the whole time the market was set up, listening to the music and enjoying Randolph’s furniture.

“They were hanging out on the couch the whole time and they were just talking to people. This is what makes me over the moon,” said Randolph. “I want people to just hang out here, and appreciate the spot.”

Admiration for the House of S. Jaye comes naturally — Randolph’s passion is infectious and the space itself is full of palpable energy. dmurthy@syr.edu

notre dame

STATS TO KNOW:

Kamal Miller and Louis Cross will need to turn in all-conference performances if the Orange wants to keep the lethal tandem off the score sheet.

On the other end, it won’t hurt if Nanco can find the net. After Tuesday’s win, a teammate joked with Nanco, saying “You cost me seven assists tonight.” The senior almost always finds chances — he leads the team in shots by nine and is the only player with double-digit shots on goal (16) — but occasionally struggles to convert.

Aubrey is listed as a defender but still leads the conference in goals, so he serves a role similar to SU’s Robinson in advancing into the attacking third from the back. At 6-foot-3, Aubrey will likely factor in all of Notre Dame’s set pieces and Robinson — Syracuse’s best defender in the air — will have his hands full.

“I think it’s a little unusual he’s scored so many goals so far,” UND head coach Bobby Clark said of Aubrey. “But I’ll take it.”

Seventy-five percent of Aubrey’s shots on goal have found the back of the net, including his three penalty kicks, which poses a challenge to SU’s defense unlike one it has gone up against this season. Clark said Aubrey played forward during his club soccer career and also at Notre Dame before switching primarily to the back line.

Oyawale gains playing time while searching for role

CHRISTINA OYAWALE (9) is still finding her role with increased playing time this year after redshirting her first season. sabrina koenig staff photographer

By Nick Alvarez contributing writer

Christina Oyawale is not ready. Much like Syracuse, Oyawale has struggled with consistency early in the season. The redshirt sophomore has tried to make her mark on a up next team that is searchVS Boston College ing for production. at Women’s Building During her time at Thursday, 5:30 p.m.

Parkdale (Maryland) High School, Oyawale didn’t have to search.

She showcased her natural ability, tallying 157 kills and 38 blocks in 14 games her senior year.

The first time Parkdale’s athletic director, Brian Moore, saw Oyawale play, he knew she would play in college.

“She left a legacy,” Moore said, “she certainly raised the level of play of the program.”

At Syracuse, Oyawale hasn’t had the same success. The Orange (1-9) has zero seniors on its roster and the young players have not found a way to transfer their potential to wins. Oyawale, one of just four third-year players for SU, is getting an opportunity to develop her raw talent.

The 6-foot-4 outside hitter has already played in more sets through the first 10 games this year (23) than all of last season (22). She has started two matches this year and has recorded 17 kills.

But she hasn’t reached her potential just yet.

“She may be one year away,” Syracuse head coach Leonid Yelin said. “The lack of experience is holding her.”

Oyawale didn’t start playing club volleyball

until late in her high school career. It wasn’t until her senior year that she saw herself as a volleyball player, Moore said. But Yelin saw her potential through her club team.

For all the promise Oyawale holds, she has struggled to become a contributor with SU. She redshirted her freshman year, which helped her develop, Oyawale said.

She’s still working on her blocking, an aspect that she said could use improvement despite having the needed physical traits to fit the role.

“Good size, quick, and good jump,” Yelin said. “… Talking to her, we believe she is going to work hard to get better. She developed a lot.”

During the summer, Oyawale organized offseason workouts, Yelin said. After three years at SU without much playing time, the head coach was shocked.

Oyawale has failed to put it all together this year, just like the team as a whole. Yelin wants to play her more in conference play, but said she’s more of a liability against tougher teams.

“I am going to try to be better for my team,” Oyawale said.

As her collegiate career progresses, Oyawale is starting to show some of the promise that both Moore and Yelin saw in her early stages of development. In Syracuse’s lone win of the season against Siena, Oyawale contributed a season high 8.5 points.

“Someday, I think she’ll be big time,” Yelin said.

babers and find a set that’s the most explosive set that we can operate from.

Babers doesn’t care how many plays the team runs if it doesn’t score points By this point it’s already known that the Orange’s offense will get off a lot of plays. On Saturday against the Bulls, Syracuse tied the ACC singlegame record for most plays with 105.

But those 105 plays only turned into 20 points, and Babers isn’t interested in how many plays the team runs if it isn’t scoring.

“It’s really cute that we ran that many plays,” Babers said. “But it’s not really cute that we scored that many points.”

Syracuse is currently 23rd in the country with 505.7 yards per game, but is just 84th with 27 points per game. tdlanger@syr.edu | @tomer_langer

Carolin Bader transitions well from Germany to Syracuse

By Matt Liberman staff writer

In the first 20 minutes against Notre Dame, Syracuse was embarrassed. Although the score read 0-0, Notre Dame controlled more possession, outshot the Orange, produced more corners, and up next challenged the SyraAT Clemson at Historic Riggs Field cuse defense.

In the 23rd Thursday, 7 p.m. minute, head coach Phil Wheddon decided to substitute freshman midfielder Carolin Bader into the game.

Bader is from Germany, where the game is much different. Rather than pace and strength, fundamentals dominate the European game.

“Her tactical understanding sets her apart from other players,” Wheddon said.

Bader followed her substitution by not turning the ball over for the first 51 minutes she was in the game and finished with the least turnovers for SU, helping to guide it to a 1-1 draw against No. 20 UND. from page 20

etta-tawo surprise. Obviously we had no idea he’d be able to do the things he has done so far. But it doesn’t surprise me.”

The one-season turnaround the offense can provide statistically may have been demonstrated best by the season Garrett had last year. After Tulsa head coach Philip Montgomery took over the program — which jumped from 2-10 before Montgomery arrived to 6-7 in 2015 — Garrett capitalized on the potential he always had.

He racked up 1,588 yards on 96 catches and added another eight touchdowns for

She has been key for Syracuse this season, and SU (7-1-2, 0-1 Atlantic Coast) will need her to execute against No. 11 Clemson (7-2, 1-0). In one of Syracuse’s best seasons since 2001, the Orange has relied on several of its international players. Bader is the only German player the team has had in that same time span.

Her growth as a player started in Gilching, a small town just outside of Munich, the hub of German soccer. The FC Bayern Munich men’s senior team has dominated Germany for the greater part of the last two decades with 13 titles. The soccer giant has won the most titles in Bundesliga history and cast its shadow across the culture of the country and the city.

Despite the love for soccer that the city shared, Bader was the only girl in her town that played soccer at a young age. Instead of choosing a different path, Bader decided to test her skills in all boys’ leagues.

She started playing soccer in 2004, when she was six years old. Her coach was her father, who was also the only coach in the league with a girl on his team. Bader’s father

figured if the other boys were going to treat his daughter like a boy on the pitch, so was he.

“On the field there wasn’t a difference between me and the other players,” Bader said.

“But off the field, he would always help me and give extra tips to get better than them.”

Bader grew up playing against larger boys. When other girls in her area adopted the game as well, she was ahead of the curve.

Bader was named to the Bayern Munich U-17 women’s squad in 2011. Bayern won the Bundesliga title, with her as a starting midfielder.

After her third season anchoring the junior team’s midfield, Bayern promoted Bader as a reserve for the senior women’s team. In her two years with Bayern, it won two Bundesliga titles.

Her promotion to the senior team drew Syracuse head coach Phil Wheddon’s attention.

“We have a contact in Germany who said you need to take a look at this player,” Wheddon said. “I flew to Germany, and I liked what I saw. I thought that she possessed the qualities that would help us.”

Bader’s decision to come to the U.S. was spontaneous. In Germany, she couldn’t combine school and soccer. She would attend university

and play club, and the two often conflicted. Playing in the U.S. eliminated that, though.

She’s playing more than she did in Germany. Before, she had four practices and one game per week. She is adjusting to only having one day off per week, something that she said intimidated her about coming to play in America.

Bader had learned English in school for six years, but never spoke it at home. Her parents do not speak any English, only her sisters do. They also take English classes.

But now, she takes classes where everything is done in English, goes to practice where everyone speaks mostly English and has assimilated into a new life where she is learning a new style of play.

SU’s team trainer is learning German to quickly communicate with Bader in case of an injury.

Since it is her natural language, the team wants her to be able to get as much help as fast as she can.

All season, her English has improved. She’s still adjusting to a different playing style. Both have helped her go from a club player at FC Bayern to a key player at Syracuse.

good measure. In his career, Garrett never had more than 67 catches and 845 yards in one season. His 96 receptions were 27 short of the number he had in his career prior to 2015 and he ended the season 33 yards shy of the total yards he came into the season with.

Etta-Tawo is 33 catches and 502 yards away from clearing his own career numbers. At the end of each season he played at Maryland, EttaTawo finished behind eight other players in receiving yards. Save for Stefon Diggs and Deon Long, none had more than 1,122 yards in their careers. Etta-Tawo is on pace to pass all their career numbers in just one season at Syracuse.

On Tuesday, Etta-Tawo was placed on the

Biletnikoff Award watch list — given to the nation’s top receiver. On Sept. 29 of last year, Garrett was placed on the same list. The Tulsa standout had 26 receptions and 454 yards in three games — similar stats to Etta-Tawo.

The latter has shown his ability to haul in catches on the sideline, find open space on broken down plays and burn cornerbacks.

“There was a lot of technique that he has worked on since he transferred here,” Babers said after Etta-Tawo’s first game against Colgate.

What Garrett’s and Etta-Tawo’s seasons have in relation is that each has finally been showcased in an offense that fits their skills.

Etta-Tawo improved from his time at UMD.

But some of that is also the system he’s playing in.

The route tree is simplified and is built around his ability to blow by cornerbacks and make the most out of screens.

“Like with Roger Lewis, Bowling Green’s No. 1 wide receiver last year, great at converting downfield, great at being able to stack cornerbacks, was a great target for Matt Johnson,” NFL.com scout Mark Dulgerian said, “but he wasn’t that good of a route runner, and he wasn’t asked to do much.”

While Etta-Tawo’s numbers are up and historic, they’re partially a result of the system that surrounds him.

Babers discusses SU, UConn SU’s head coach addressed the media on ACC teleconference

By Tomer Langer asst. copy editor

Syracuse (1-2, 0-1 Atlantic Coast) is coming off a 45-20 loss to South Florida. On Saturday, it’ll travel for its first road game of the season against Connecticut (2-1, 0-1 American Athletic) at 1 p.m. The Huskies are coming off a 13-10 win over Virginia.

Here’s what SU head coach Dino Babers said on the ACC coaches teleconference on Wednesday.

Etta-Tawo experiences bump in stats from spread offense

By Chris Libonati asst. sports editor

W

hen Bowling Green played at Maryland last season, Dino Babers probably didn’t think it’d be an audition to recruit a player on the other sideline.

Then-BGSU quarterback Matt Johnson threw for six touchdowns.

Roger Lewis, now a New York Giants wide receiver reeled in 15 passes for 200 yards. Three wide receivers racked up 79 or more yards.

Even when Maryland threatened, tying the game at 27, Bowling Green rattled off 21 straight points.

On the other side of the field, Amba Etta-Tawo watched as Johnson

picked apart the Terrapins defense.

Etta-Tawo led all UMD receivers with just five catches and 49 yards.

“I didn’t really remember Amba in the game,” Babers said.

“There was no sales pitch. We played Bowling Green last year, so I got an opportunity to watch his offense live,” Etta-Tawo said, “and from that moment on I wanted to play for (Babers).”

Now it’s Etta-Tawo’s numbers dwarfing other receivers’. He’s 436 yards and 28 catches into a season that could go down in Syracuse lore as one of the best by a wide receiver.

While it’s unlikely Etta-Tawo will keep this pace, he’s set to reach 1,744 yards and 112 catches if he does.

It might be surprising Etta-Tawo’s

stats have landed him among the top receivers in the country. He’s a transfer wide receiver who had never tallied more than 500 yards in a season.

But it shouldn’t be shocking.

The offense is conducive to deep threats and fast wide receivers making a difference in games. The pace he’s on would break SU’s current yards per game in a season, receiving yards in a season and receptions in a season records. Etta-Tawo’s season is shaping up like former Tulsa receiver Keyarris Garrett, who underperformed for four years of his college career until being introduced to the Baylor-style spread.

“Amba has been outstanding,” Babers said. “He has been a pleasant

What to know about the No. 3 Fighting Irish

By Matt Schneidman senior staff writer

No. 2 Syracuse (8-0, 2-0 Atlantic Coast) faces its toughest test yet when the Orange travels to South Bend, Indiana for a Friday matchup up next with No. 3 AT Notre Dame at Alumni Stadium Notre Dame Friday, 7 p.m.

(6-1, 1-1) at 7 p.m. The Fighting Irish was last week’s No. 1 team but a 1-0 loss to Louisville spurred a two-spot drop.

SU came back to comfortably beat winless Cornell, 3-1, on Tues-

day while UND has the beginning of the week off before it hosts Syracuse. Here’s everything you need to know about the game.

All-time series: Notre Dame leads, 12-3-2 Last time they played: Syracuse took down then-No. 9 Notre Dame, 1-0, on Nov. 15 of last year to win its first ACC title and first conference championship since 1985. Ben Polk, now of the MLS’s Portland Timbers, scored the game’s lone goal from 10-15 yards out after a failed clearance by the Fighting Irish. Only three players registered shots for the Orange — Polk, Juuso Pasanen and Chris

Nanco — but Syracuse squeaked out its second win against a top 10 team in as many games.

The Notre Dame report: After beating Cornell, Syracuse head coach Ian McIntyre called UND’s Bobby Clark the best head coach in the country. Clark has guided the Fighting Irish to another stellar start, which included a 2-1 double-overtime win over defending national champions Stanford on Sept. 2.

Notre Dame is led in scoring by senior Brandon Aubrey’s six goals and junior Jon Gallagher’s five, the two highest totals in the ACC. Goalkeeper Chris Hubbard

ranks second in the conference in saves (24), tied for third in shutouts (four) and tied for second in goals against average (.41). The Fighting Irish has only allowed three goals in seven games this season compared to Syracuse’s four in eight games.

How Syracuse beats Notre Dame: Don’t fall behind early because UND won’t be as easy to come back against as Cornell was Tuesday night. Gallagher and Aubrey will cause havoc in the attacking third and Syracuse’s stout back three will have its hands full. Miles Robinson, see notre

dame page 14

Syracuse had patches of success last week against the Bulls’ defense, moving the ball at will in the first quarter and finding success running the ball for the first time all season.

Babers is pleased that his team finally ran the ball well but is also concerned about the Huskies strong defensive unit.

“I was happy for (running back) Dontae (Strickland) … I was also happy for the football team and the offensive line to kind of get that monkey off their back,” Babers said.

“But I really think that Connecticut’s defense is going to be a lot stronger than South Florida’s, they’ve got some stouter people in there … I really think this defense is something to be reckoned with and we’re going to have our hands full.”

UConn is giving up just 19.7 points per game. USF’s defense averages 19 points allowed.

The four-wide receiver sets SU ran against the Bulls were a game-specific plan Against USF on Saturday, the Orange ran a lot more four widereceiver sets than they had in previous games. It would either be trips to one side with Amba EttaTawo by himself on the other side, or Etta-Tawo and Steve Ishmael on the outside on each side with Ervin Philips and Brisly Estime inside next to each one.

Running those four wide receivers (usually accompanied by a running back) meant SU played without a tight end. Babers chalked most of that up to the opponent the Orange was playing.

“That was a USF type of game plan,” Babers said. “It’s not that we won’t do that (in the future), it’s just that we tried to obviously break down the defense, look at their personnel look at our personnel and try
