Athlete’s derogatory comments spark campus outrage

By Brett Samuels asst. news editor

A video of Hanna Strong, a Syracuse University women’s soccer team member, calling an unidentified person a “f*ggot-a** n*gger,” has sparked outrage in the SU community since it was posted to Instagram on Saturday.

H e a d coach Phil Wheddon indef initely suspended the senior midfielder from the team hours after the

video went viral on Twitter with the hashtag #SpeakUpSU. Many students expressed anger about Strong’s outburst, saying she should be held accountable for her actions and several student groups organized a campus meeting Saturday night to discuss appropriate responses to the video.

But while some people defended Strong and her right to free speech,

SU officials were quick to condemn Strong’s words.

“This type of intolerant and hurtful language, focused on both race and sexual orientation, is not part of the culture we seek to foster among our student-athletes and it has no place at Syracuse University,” Director of Athletics Daryl Gross said in a statement on Saturday.

Chancellor Kent Syverud sent a statement to the campus community Sunday night, saying he believes this, and other less visible incidents, present a chance to have a civil and frank discussion. He said he’s asked Vice Chancellor and Provost Eric Spina and Dean of Student Affairs Rebecca Reed Kantrowitz to work

hen the video of Hanna Strong calling an unidentified person a “f*ggot-a** n*gger” circulated Saturday, it could have been looked at as just another setback in the fight against racism, homophobia and intolerance as a jesse dougherty whole.

But the doctor’s Hanna in Strong is a student-athlete at Syracuse University. Hanna Strong plays in one of, if not the, best women’s soccer conference in the country. It’s not just another viral video.

It’s a revolting stringing-together of racial and homophobic slurs that puts Strong and Syracuse University at the front of the ever-present movement against hate. The next step is the one that will define the situation and Strong, as a student-athlete, needs to take it herself.

Strong needs to make an in-person apology and put a face to the ever-present issue.

Most students complain about the Syracuse winter, but Sean Fernandez embraces it. A few times a year, he even sleeps outside in sub-zero temperatures.

The senior finance major, president of Otto’s Army, has camped outside the Carrier Dome before at least six Syracuse University men’s basketball games.

His personal best: nine days during his freshman year when the team played Georgetown University and the University of Connecticut back-to-back.

He says the community among the fans who camp out make the long, cold nights worthwhile.

“You’re all doing it in support of our favorite team,” Fernandez said.

“Once it comes time for game day, all of the cold is completely in the past.”

Fernandez first joined Otto’s Army his freshman year. He was the organization’s public relations officer his sophomore and junior years and was elected president for this year.

With a background in leadership and business, and proven dedication to Otto’s Army, Fernandez fit the position.

The main goal of Otto’s Army is to keep SU spirit running high. One way

it does this, Fernandez said, is getting fans to stay until the end of the game when the school’s alma mater is played.

He said this is especially important during a loss because it lets the team know their fans still support them.

“It’s about more than just cheering loudly on game day. We try to go above and beyond to build spirit on campus,” Fernandez said. “This year especially, we’re trying our best to promote all sports, not just basketball and football.”

Fernandez said men’s and wom-

When there’s a large showing from Otto’s Army members, Fernandez said, the team notices. It’s hard not to.

Fernandez said: “When you have thousands of students cheering as loudly as they can, it can hopefully give the Orange the extra edge they need to compete at the highest level.” aerdekia@syr.edu

Syverud names 14 to sexual assault workgroup CVS stops sales of NAMES TO KNOW cigarettes

By Anna Merod

asst. news editor

Syracuse University Chancellor Kent Syverud has appointed 14 members to the Chancellor’s Workgroup on Sexual Violence Prevention, Education and Advocacy and requested the group submit its final report by Dec. 15.

Members of the chancellor’s workgroup will create a report to point out critical gaps in service and support in the new structure for sexual assault resources on campus, the university announced on Friday.

The chancellor initially announced the formation of the workgroup in July, one month after the services of the Advocacy Center were realigned into the Counseling Center, the Office of Student Affairs and the Office of Health Promotion. The offices now work together to provide counseling, support, advocacy and education services to students affected by sexual assault and relationship violence.

The workgroup has also been asked to propose a set of recommen-

dations to improve the campus and community culture involving sexual assault and relationship violence.

Vicky Wang, one of the newly appointed members in the workgroup, said she attended both of the listening meetings about the new sexual assault services structure this summer.

The lack of privileged, confidential advocacy services in the new structure needs to be addressed in the workgroup, she said. Wang, who is a graduate student in the earth science education program, said she would like to explore the university’s interpretation of Title IX as well.

She later added in an email that she would like to further address the need for the multiple offices of sexual assault services to be in one unified space.

“A comprehensive standalone center for education and advocacy is something we don’t have any more.

I think a place like that would be important in allowing people to form communities,” Wang said.

‘Boyhood’, ‘Forrest Gump’ act as reflections of specific generations

T

he movie “Forrest Gump” is 20 years old. Despite its age, the movie is still incredibly popular, relatable and worth another watch. And just this past Friday, it was re-released in IMAX theatres.

One movie released this summer has striking similarities to the Tom Hanks classic because of its narrative progression, its encapsulation of American history and its critical acclaim.

“Boyhood”, the newest Richard Linklater movie was filmed over the course of 12 years, and follows the growth of a young boy, Mason.

This groundbreaking project received positive reviews even before its release because of people’s interest in seeing the characters naturally age.

“Boyhood” is the “Forrest Gump” of our generation because both serve as reflections of our collective past.

“Forrest Gump” follows the extraordinary life of a man everyone underestimated.

Despite his low IQ and need for leg braces as a child, Forrest grew up to be a part of the All-American football team, fight in the Viet-

ERIN G. KELLY

MASS MEDIATED

nam War, meet three presidents and become a shrimp boat captain.

Time and time again, seemingly by happenstance, Forrest affects the course of American history. He teaches Elvis how to dance, initiates the investigation of the Watergate scandal and creates the “Smiley Face” logo.

Mason’s life is not nearly as extraordinary as Forrest’s but his is much more relatable; he learns about the war in Iraq, he watches Roger Clemens pitch for the Astros and he helps his father campaign for President Barack Obama in ’08.

Just as Mason misses pinnacle moments in history, the audience misses the benchmarks in his life. No glimpse of his first kiss, when he learns to drive a car or his high school graduation. Instead there are moments that affect his character: when he discovers his

passion for photography, his first heartbreak and when he realizes his parents are just as lost as he is.

The “Forrest Gump” soundtrack carefully arranges hits from 50s through the 80s to match the scenes’ place in time, “Boyhood”’s is natural. The opening credits of “Boyhood” feature “Yellow” by Coldplay setting the scene in the early 2000s. And it is overwhelming when “Somebody That I Used to Know” by Gotye plays and the audience realizes this is the beginning of the end.

Despite its technical differences, both movies serve as time capsules for the generation it reflects.

The children of the 40s and 50s remember their grief when JFK was assassinated, their frustration with the War in Vietnam and time of the hippie counterculture. While Forrest’s experiences are in the eye of the storm, his emotions are equivalent with that of the audience.

Viewers from our generation are likely to feel the pang of nostalgia while watching “Boyhood” as Mason plays with his Game

Boy and attends a Harry Potter midnight book release. He is also woken up by his sister singing “Oops I Did It Again” as a child and he deletes his Facebook page in high school after questioning why we are all so hooked on virtual interactions.

Only time will tell how “Boyhood” holds up against “Forrest Gump.” But things are looking good considering since its July 11 release, it has received overwhelmingly positive reviews with a 100 percent rating on MetaCritic and a 99 percent rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Come award season, it will certainly snag a few nominations. Not only because of its novelty but as a result of the solid performances from the entire cast.

“Boyhood” may not launch any restaurant chains like “Forrest Gump” did, but it has already made history.

And 20 years from now, it will be worth watching again.

letter to the editor

Student believes classmates must engage in real-life activism On Friday night, Hanna Strong was filmed making offensive and hurtful comments.

By Saturday afternoon, sport and news sites were reporting the incident. Soon enough, #SPEAKUPSU was created as a call for action.

While I was personally disgusted by her comments and wanted the incident to be addressed, I didn’t want one thing — her expulsion. I want Hanna Strong to remain

a Syracuse University student. I want her to join in on the dialogue. I want her to face everyone that has been affected. This is an educational setting, let’s teach and learn from each other. Let’s understand the issues that exist in our communities, let’s touch on history and let’s engage in true activism.

Internet activism is essential but clicking, sharing, and spreading a hash tag isn’t good enough.

And reality check: she is one of many (unfortunately) that use those hurtful words, she just happened to get caught on camera.

A call for change by the people perpetuating racism by continuing the use of one of the most degrading words created, is just a call.

To discontinue the use of the word, stop using it yourself. I don’t care if you dropped the “er” and inserted “ga”.

So to the entire student body: recognize

your responsibility, articulate the need for change accurately and act accordingly; don’t just preach.

If this is something temporary for you to talk about — don’t #SPEAKUP. Chantal Felice Senior, broadcast and digital journalism major political science and social welfare minor

Republican Party must compromise on LGBT issues to gain voters

O

n Thursday, James Richardson, a former Republican spokesman for former Governor of Utah, John Huntsman, came out as a gay man. He encouraged change within the Republican party to be in favor of same-sex marriage, so the GOP could stop losing votes on something so basic and focus on other issues.

Richardson’s column supports what a lot of younger Republicans are saying: that as a whole, Republicans need to stop being seen as the party of “No” and the party of keeping things away from people. The GOP needs someone to step up and make being in-favor of same-sex marriage the party line.

He made the announcement in an op-ed in The Washington Post in which he said “My partner and I are envious subscribers to the conventional, conservative family model; yet together, as two men wishing to grow grey and ornery in matching rocking chairs, we are consigned to ‘cohabitation’ as a consequence of law.

That’s unjust, and it’s uniquely painful.”

There hasn’t been a GOP politician run for presidential office that has openly said he or

RAMI JACKSON MR. RIGHT

she support same-sex marriage.

Rand Paul flip flops, Rick Perry recently compared being gay to alcoholism, Rick Santorum gay-bashes in almost every one of his speeches on marriage and Paul Ryan is against same-sex marriage, as is Marco Rubio. The only contender who openly supports same-sex marriage is Senator Rob Portman of Ohio, whose campaign has been somewhat small and lacking in media attention.

On Sept. 3, the Louisiana District Court judge, Martin Feldman, after referring to being gay as a “lifestyle choice,” chose to uphold Louisiana’s ban on same-sex marriage. This ruling isn’t good for our image, despite numerous President Ronald Reagan and President George W. Bush appointed judges destroying the barriers for marriage equality. People will remember the one

obvious homophobe who maintains these barriers. Despite the GOP’s shift forward in some aspects, we’re still late to the party.

Our party is losing free votes by trying to appeal to an increasingly irrelevant section of the American voting populace, the Religious Right. A group of Americans who, according dictionary.com, are defined as, “A coalition of right-wing Protestant fundamentalist leaders who have become increasingly active in politics since the Supreme Court’s 1972 decision in Roe vs. Wade. ” Saying the Religious Right is dead is a bit of an overstatement as many of their positions on a variety of issues — same-sex marriage, religion in schools, abortion — are still a force in local politics where barriers for entry tend to be lower. But, on a national scale, the voting bloc is increasingly seeing itself isolated from the rest of the U.S. and is even aware of how much influence it has lost.

In a 2011 poll of evangelical leaders, Pew Research found that “U.S. evangelical leaders are especially downbeat about the prospects for

Got opinions? Email opinion@dailyorange.com

evangelical Christianity in their society; 82 percent say evangelicals are losing influence in the United States today.” This puts the GOP in danger of losing millennial votes, as the Generation Y is much more secular than previous generations, according to a 2012 Pew research poll.

There is no rational reason for this party to be against same-sex marriage. The only people who want us to be against it are slowly but surely dying off and being replaced by much more modern and secular Republicans who simply want equality for all. Our party needs an official policy or statement on this, so that we can draw people in and show them what else we are about: small government, economic freedom and civil liberties.

In the words of Jeb Bush at CPAC this year: “way too many people believe Republicans are ... anti-everything, including anti-gay.”

Let’s fix that image.

letter to the editor

Student disagrees with Hillel and HJSU’s letter Ever since the Aug. 28 article on Harel Rush, there has been a dialogue on the events over in the Middle East, even if the dialogue is similar to what can be seen on Fox News.

Even though this dialogue has lead to nothing, I do have a problem with the most recent Letter to the Editor on this issue. The letter was from Hillel and HJSU and was featured in the Sept. 4 edition of The Daily Orange. While I am impartial to the events going on between Israel and the Palestinians, I feel that a statement made in the letter needs to be reexamined by Hillel and HJSU. Hillel stated that they understand the importance of having an open dialogue on the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian conflict, but they go on to say that the comments made Mr. Chamber in a previous letter on Sept. 2 should have not been published by The Daily Orange and asked for it to be retracted from publication This is a college with the best communication school in the nation located in a country that offers us the freedom of speech. This means that everyone has the right to voice his or

her opinion and have it published by anyone willing to publish it. We might not like what that opinion is, but it has the right to be heard. We cannot simply allow the favorable opinions to be heard and for the hateful opinions to be erased and not heard. This country was founded on that basis that freedom of speech is important, including freedom of the press.

If you want an open dialogue on tough matters then all sides must be heard, no matter how radical they are. The statement made by Hillel is a contradiction on itself and they must remember that every opinion should be heard, no matter how “hateful” they are.

These student-led discussions should continue, and all students at SU should actively take part in changing the culture of discrimination that exists at the university.

University-mandated classes or discussions on diversity can only go so far. Nothing the administration does will change the mindset of students, unless students themselves decide to hold their classmates accountable for their words and actions. The photo of Strong that circulated on social media

made her the face of the problem, but her overall image is just a reflection of the actual problem.

As seen on social media and at the meeting on Sunday night, creating change starts with discussion from students. But in order for it to move beyond a trending topic, it must be followed by action. Even among friends, students need to make it unacceptable to use the language that Strong used in the video. Her words were recorded, but she is not the only student to ever

SU Athletics proved how it felt about Strong’s actions when it suspended her from the soccer team.

And the university made it clear that there is no place for discrimination when it released a statement on the matter. Now, students must show that they will not tolerate racism and homophobia by coming together and working to eradicate it on campus.

Southside food co-op offers market stand for residents

By Kate Capodanno staff writer

Despite ominous clouds and a light sprinkle of rain, a group of volunteers stationed themselves on South Salina Street on Saturday, prepared to sell fresh produce and wholesome food to Syracuse residents.

A folding table filled with oranges, grapes, lettuce and plenty of Goya products was the centerpiece for the Market for a Day stand, which was hosted by the Eat to Live Food Cooperative.

The Eat to Live Food Co-op acted as a grocery store within the Southside of Syracuse, allowing members of the community to find fresh produce, dairy and baked goods at a reasonable price, said Howie Hawkins, secretary of the board of the Eat to Live Food Co-op. In December of 2013, the co-op was forced to close due to a lack of working capital, just two months after it first opened its doors.

The Market for a Day stand is being used as a marketing tool. The market is letting the community know that the co-op is still here and it’s generating interest so that once Eat to Live reopens there will be consistent patronage, said Brandi Woolridge, a volunteer and a former employee at the co-op.

The Eat to Live Co-op, located at 2323 S. Salina St., has been closed since it ran out of money in December 2013. The goal of the co-op, which is located in the middle of a food desert, was to provide fresh produce to local residents. frankie prijatel asst. photo editor

Our fraternity saw this as an opportunity to give back to the community and help those on the Southside.

Leroy Antoine member of the omega psi phi fraternity and senior civil engineering major

The market, which was set up at 2323 S. Salina St. in front of the empty Eat to Live building, is in the middle of a U.S. Department of Agriculture certified food desert, Hawkins said.

According to the USDA website, a food desert is a low-income community where at least one third of the population lives more than a mile away from a supermarket or a large

grocery store.

“The co-op provided the basic foods that people need everyday,” Hawkins said.

One of the main goals of the Market for a Day is to offer community members the choices necessary to have a balanced diet, Woolridge said.

“The corner stores and fast-food restaurants just offer a whole lot of processed stuff,” said Woolridge, who lives in the Southside of Syracuse. “But with the co-op and the market, we are also offering whole foods for the community.”

Every week, customers at the stand ask questions about the co-op and when it might reopen, said Rachielle Scrivens, a volunteer who has worked at every Market for a Day since it started in August.

As word gets out, customers are becoming

more excited and more people are showing up each week, she added.

On Saturday, shifts of volunteers came in every couple of hours to help run the stand, including members of the Syracuse University community.

Members of the Omega Psi Phi Fraternity came in three different groups to help with the Market for a Day, said Leroy Antoine, a senior civil engineering major at SU. “Our fraternity saw this as an opportunity to give back to the community and help those on the Southside,” Antoine said.

Padraic Kane, a brother of the fraternity and a senior exercise science major, said he noticed people were happy to walk up to the stand to talk and buy the produce.

“It is a nice thing to have in the community,” he added.

The Eat to Live board members have put together a business plan and financial package and are talking to lenders, Hawkins said. The board is optimistic about reopening, he added.

“When we are ready to reopen, the public will be the first to know, but we are not going to put a date on it because it is contingent on too many things,” Hawkins said.

Right now, the co-op is happy to be hosting the Market for a Day stand, he said.

The Market for a Day is expected to continue up until Sept. 13, Hawkins said. After that, the board will continue to focus on reopening the co-op, he added.

At the end of the day on Saturday, Hawkins said the event went well.

“There is less stuff here than when it started in the morning, which is a good sign,” he said. kacapoda@syr.edu

Otto’s Army sponsors buses to SU football game at MetLife

By Amanda Rodgers contributing writer

For the third consecutive year, Syracuse University students will be able to take buses to cheer on the football team at MetLife Stadium.

Otto’s Army is chartering buses to MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey for the SU football game on Sept. 27 against the University of Notre Dame.

Last year, Otto’s Army provided four buses to the game with a total of 200 available bus vouchers.

email that he’s expecting a large turnout for the event, adding that many members have expressed interest in attending future bus trips.

We support SU football no matter what, and going on these road trips is a great way to show our team we’re always there to cheer.

Ben Glidden public relations officer of otto’s army

“For student season ticket holders, both game tickets and bus vouchers will be free of charge,” Fernandez said. “Any students who

have not purchased a season ticket package will be able to purchase a single game ticket to the Notre Dame game for $25.”

He also said the Class of 2018 has also shown lots of school spirit since arriving on campus.

Last year, Ben Glidden, then president of Otto’s Army, saw a similar trend. He said that he saw “high participation” among freshman students. Glidden, a senior public relations major, is now the public relations officer of Otto’s Army.

“We support SU football no matter what, and going on these road trips is a great way to show our team we’re always there to cheer,” he said.

Glidden said supporting SU football and basketball on the road has become a tradition.

“Otto’s Army has a long history of going to away games with bus trips,” Glidden said. “It’s

a tradition that started before I was a student here and has been thriving lately.”

Fernandez said Otto’s Army hosts a bus trip to one football game and one basketball game a year, and every year there is a waitlist.

He said not to be discouraged when students get put on the waitlist. The committed students who are put on the waitlist will arrive on the day of the trip and will be rewarded seats for those who don’t arrive on time, he said.

The SU student section previously took buses to SU football games at MetLife Stadium in 2012 and 2013.

“MetLife Stadium is beautiful and students jump at the opportunity to go to New York City,” Glidden said. “We’ve had some exciting games down there the last couple of years and we’re hoping for another good one this year.” awrodger@syr.edu

UNITING VOICES SU NAACP chapter aims to increase campus involvement

By Erin McDonald contributing writer

T

he Syracuse University chapter of the NAACP has high hopes and a goal-oriented attitude for this academic year after its return to campus just a few years ago.

Historically, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has aimed to achieve equal rights for all through protests, boycotting, funding and other means of communicating their message of unity to the general public.

The ultimate, long-term goal of the SU chapter is to completely combat segregation on campus, said Danielle Reed, the organization’s event and programming chair member and a junior Spanish and African American studies double major.

This year also marks the third year since

the SU chapter of the NAACP has returned to campus after it had been disaffiliated for several years due to financial reasons. Though the club has been back on campus for a few years, they hope to be more active than in the past. Members of this year’s executive board hope that involvement this year is stronger than ever due to tensions around the country, and Reed added that people not of color should participate as well.

To increase involvement, the group has plans to host several forums this upcoming semester, Reed said.

The group intends to hold forums this semester that range from topics including the murder of Mike Brown and the protests surrounding his death to the Trayvon Martin case and other incidents that caused a wave of tension across the country, said club vice president Olivia Johnson,

a senior newspaper and online journalism major and contributing writer for The Daily Orange.

Events such as the recent incident regarding an SU women’s soccer player that used racial slurs in a video that was released on social media are examples that demonstrate the need for organizations such as the NAACP on campus, Johnson said.

Johnson stressed that activism was a main goal of the club this year, and she hopes to reach out to clubs to help the NAACP, putting emphasis on the fact that the organization advocates for people of all colors, not just African Americans. A common theme on the agenda for the year is the topic of unity on campus. Along with restoring the NAACP involvement on campus, another objective of the club is to become more unified with other SU organizations for stu-

dents of color and reflect the model of unity that drove efforts back when these organizations were founded many years ago, Reed said.

The group also wants to host or cosponsor an event this fall in conjunction with the Syracuse Police Department and SU’s Department of Public Safety that examines police brutality in light of recent events pertaining to that topic and people of color in America, Reed said.

Another short term goal of the organization on campus is to hold a forum inspired by the hashtag “Black Lives Matter” on Twitter, and it will show another side of the Ferguson incident, mainly focusing on valuing each other as human beings as well as brothers and sisters, Reed said.

The club is also very supportive of the work done by other organizations and departments on campus that share the same dedication to delivering the message of equality that they do, she said. They are active in attending events held by groups such as the African American Studies department of the university.

The organization as a whole has always advocated for all races and backgrounds, and that is a tradition that the SU chapter of the NAACP wants to continue here on campus, Reed said. eemcdona@syr.edu

Professor receives grant to increase diversity in STEM fields

By Kristen Eskow staff writer

A Syracuse University biology professor has been awarded a grant to increase enrollment and retention of minorities in science, technology, engineering and mathematics programs at SU and Onondaga Community College.

Jason Wiles said he was invited to apply for the Early-concept Grants for Exploratory Research by the National Science Foundation, whose undergraduate education division works to recruit talented individuals into STEM disciplines. The grant totals $169,734, according to an SU news release.

Wiles, who also teaches in the earth sciences and science teaching departments at SU, said he believes this issue is important since the amount of diversity currently in STEM fields in the United States does not correlate with the diversity of the entire population.

“Do a Google image search of just scientist and you’ll see these old guys with crazy hair and test tubes,” Wiles said. “There’s not much diver-

sity in the panel of images that will come up.”

Wiles added that he tried to look for programs within the NSF that matched his efforts to increase diversity in STEM fields.

We have so many brilliant, capable students coming in and students who have all kinds of ideas what they want to do.

eager grant awardee and su biology professor

“It’s something that I care about in part because I do these introductory courses, and we have a high amount of diversity in these courses,” he said. “(But) the highest drop-off is in the introductory courses at the next level.”

The grant will go toward expanding a peerled team learning initiative in STEM courses at SU, Wiles said. Under this program, minority

students who perform well in an introductory STEM course will be asked to serve as mentors to future students taking the course who are also from underrepresented minority groups, he said.

“We have so many brilliant, capable students coming in and students who have all kinds of ideas what they want to do,” Wiles said. “If we combine them with peer leaders with a similar background, in a leadership role in the science field, maybe they’ll start thinking, ‘Hey, you know, I could be in this field.’”

Peer-led team learning not only provides role models, but can also provide tutoring and extra assistance early on in the major to promising underclassmen, which can also boost STEM retention, he said.

“You’re not going to do well in the major if you didn’t do well in the foundational course that’s a prerequisite for everything else,” Wiles said.

The grant will go towards hiring a post-doctoral researcher who will run the peer-led team learning program, Wiles said, as well as other costs like allowing students to travel for the program. A peer-led team learning initiative

program was previously run in biology by a Ph.D. student but did not continue after she graduated.

Tamara Hamilton, the co-principal investigator for the NSF’s Upstate Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation program, said she thinks Wiles’ program will provide more opportunities to students on campus.

LSAMP works with school districts like the Syracuse City School District in efforts to recruit students of diverse backgrounds early on into STEM disciplines before starting college, Hamilton said. She has worked with Wiles through the LSAMP program and will help with the implementation of the EAGER grant, she said.

“If it allows the LSAMP students to have new opportunities such as building up professional and leadership skills, then it’s an excellent opportunity for the students,” Hamilton said.

Hamilton said she believes more diversity in STEM fields can benefit the nation .

“In order for the U.S. to compete globally, there’s a need for diverse students to seek these positions,” she said. kaeskow@syr.edu

Security officials report few safety issues at Juice Jam festival

By Natasha Amadi asst. copy editor

Department of Public Safety officers said there were no major security issues and no changes to the amount of security detail present during the sold-out, 10th-annual Juice

Jam Music Festival.

The event had close to 10 thousand attendees. Dillon Francis headlined the concert, and artists Schoolboy Q, Tinashe, 3LAU, Ace Hood, Broods and MisterWives also performed.

Due to the large attendance, DPS had some issues controlling the crowd at the north side

gate at the beginning of the event, said DPS Officer CJ McCurty.

“The entry got a little jammed up — maybe next year we’ll think about lining things up a little different,” he said.

DPS Associate Chief John Sardino said about 10 students were transported to nearby hospitals for intoxication. There were also a few cases of mild injuries and a sprained ankle, which were referred to the medical team. However, there was no criminal activity and no one was arrested.

University Union hired about 40 employees of Chestnut Street Security Inc. to provide extra security. They were responsible for patting down students, checking purses and making sure that no drugs, alcohol, backpacks or dangerous items were brought into

the concert arena.

Lisa Falise, the business manager of Chestnut Street Security who also worked at last year’s Juice Jam, said everything ran smoothly as usual.

University Union also collaborated with BE Wise, a student organization dedicated to raising awareness about alcohol poisoning, to distribute free cups of water throughout the event. Sam Weinberg, director of collaborations for UU, said they reached out to the organization after seeing its posters about alcohol safety at Mayfest last semester.

“When we were planning Juice Jam we wanted to include them because we thought they would be the best to promote students being safe at Juice Jam this year,” Weinberg said.

declined from 42.4 percent in 1965 to 20.6 percent in 2009. When it comes to smokers between ages 18 and 24, the percentage drops by more than half.

Though the new CVS policy is striving to reduce these numbers even more, some students question whether the fact that CVS has stopped selling tobacco products will make a difference.

Diego Garcia-Espinoza, a junior sociology major on the pre-law track who does not smoke, said he feels people are overreacting to the new CVS policy and that its effects are a “little bit exaggerated.”

But he remains doubtful that people would consider abandoning their smoking habits because of this new policy.

“If you are old enough and able to get them,” he said, “there is other places to get them.”

But Jose Sanchez, a freshman architecture major, said he thought it was strange pharmacies sold tobacco, given that they also sell anti-nicotine products.

“It is like there is no reason that pharmacies should be selling harmful substance in the first place,” he said.

Sanchez, who does not smoke, said he supports CVS’s new policy.

“I hope it helps people quit smoking,” he said.

cigarettes Merlo said the new policy would help people manage chronic disease and reduce healthcare costs.

“Tobacco products have no place in a setting where healthcare is delivered,” Merlo said in the message.

Felicia Tiu-Laurel, a sophomore international relations and Middle Eastern studies major who smokes, said CVS not offering cigarettes will make things a little more difficult, but there are other stores where she can buy them.

Eric Young, an employee at Smoker’s Choice on the corner of South Crouse Avenue and East Adams Street, said he has seen an increase of customers in the past few days.

As of Saturday, Young said he estimated that after the CVS policy went into effect, at least 20 different people had come into Smoker’s Choice to buy cigarettes. He also predicted “a steady increase of customers” in the future.

But while Smoker’s Choice may have seen an increase in customers, the consumption of tobacco nationwide has been declining recently.

Data from the American Lung Association shows that the number of smokers in the U.S. has

Sold-out Juice Jam balances indie, mainstream artists

or a day that began with cloudy skies, Juice Jam 2014 ended up looking bright.

This year’s Juice Jam reprised the two-stage festival format debuted by University Union last year. The indie stage next to the main stage allowed for two venues to host alternating performances.

MisterWives kicked off Juice Jam with their single “Vagabonds.” Mandy Lee, the band’s lead singer, took center stage with a tambourine in hand, demonstrating her vocal range and jumping in tune to the song’s steady tempo.

The chemistry among the band members was undeniable and made for a great set. see juice

Q&A with Juice Jam headliner, EDM artist Dillon Francis

By Clare Ramirez asst. feature editor

The Daily Orange sat down with Dillon Francis, a popular electronic dance music DJ, after his headlining act at Juice Jam. Here’s what he had to say about his music and his new album.

The Daily Orange: What do you think makes you unique from the other artists out there?

Dillon Francis: I put a lot of hate into my music; I don’t know if you can tell by the happiness in it. The difference between me and other artists is — I don’t think it’s much in terms of my music. I guess, I do make Moombahton, which pretty much doesn’t exist that much anymore from a lot of the other artists that were making it. The main big difference, though, would be social media — stuff like Instagram, the videos I make and the stuff that I

post on there. I like to have fun and I guess that’s in my music as well.

The D.O.: Taking into account social media, what can you say about your fan base and what has it been like trying to connect with them?

D.F.: It’s so easy. I mean, my fan base pretty much makes a lot of my content that I put on the Internet. It’s just really fun, interactive ways to get people to make art and be a part of the whole Dillon Francis thing.

The D.O.: I was talking to some of your fans today, and apparently you have several alter egos. Could you tell me more about your alter egos?

D.F.: I like to do them. I don’t have any of them with me because I just have my backpack without any props. DJ Rich-as-F*ck — I made it because I was on Instagram one day, and I saw a bunch of people posting picture of private jets. And I was just like, “I don’t f*cking care about private jets and I’m never going to want

to look at a picture of one ever, at all, and I don’t want to see you in front of one.” So I just got really angry, and I was like, “I’m going to make a stupid character called DJ Rich-as-F*ck, and all he cares about is private jets, and planes and money.” And that’s kind of how it happened.

The D.O.: When you remix songs, what’s the process that you go through?

D.F.: Usually, it will be an artist see francis page 10

francis contacting me and I’ll see if I like the song, or I’ll contact the artist, like recently, this song that I remixed called “Morning Sun” by Strange Talk. I heard it on (“That Awkward Moment”) — that movie with Zac Efron. But there’s this bar scene that they have, and the song comes on, and I thought it was such a good song. So I immediately found the song on the Internet, listened to it and then sent them a tweet saying, “Hey, if you want a remix, I’d love to do it.” And they hit me back and sent me the stems. That’s usually how I do that.

I don’t take many remix requests anymore, unless it’s something that I really want to do, because I’d rather use that time to make my own original music now.

The D.O.: Do you have an upcoming album, and could you say a little about that?

D.F.: The album was pretty much made from Twitter, which is kind of cool because that’s how my whole career was kind of made, actually. That’s why I met Diplo, Flux Pavilion, Brendon Ueri — who’s on my album, Martin Garrix. But yeah, the album’s done; it comes out Oct. 28.

The D.O.: What can we expect from that album in terms of music?

D.F.: So, it’s like everything. I wanted to try to touch all different types of fan bases, and try to bring everyone together, and make everyone stop being like, “Oh my god, genres” and just listen to good music, and that’s it. clramire@syr.edu | @clareramirez_

Social media makes New York Fashion Week interactive with viewers worldwide

S

ocial media is taking center stage at this year’s New York Fashion Week. Since revolutionizing the fashion industry’s fan base and branding strategies, the show simply cannot go on without Twitter, Instagram or Facebook.

NYFW runway shows held at Lincoln Center, locations around NYC or in designers’ showrooms are some of the greatest A-list events of the year. The front row presence of fashion icons, like Vogue Editor-in-Chief Anna Wintour, are extremely important for designers when it comes to getting press in all the right places.

The input of bloggers and fashion-savvy Twitterv users is increasingly important in developing new fan bases and bringing whole new points of view to the seven-day fashion extravaganza. Those coveted front-row spots now include seats for bloggers who cater to many fans at their homes with updates, photos and videos of the runway shows.

Lubov Azria, chief creative officer of BCBGMAXAZRIAGROUP, told Agence France-Presse after her show last spring that social media has made a big difference in how

ZOE MALLIAROS

RUNNING IN HEELS

the fashion shows are covered.

With the shows available to live stream through NYFW’s website, just about anyone can watch any runway show and millions of people worldwide have tuned in the past few seasons.

From there, users will tweet about the collections and may even re-gram photos from designers or audience members of their favorite pieces on Instagram.

As a part-time fashion blogger and full-time student, I’m obviously not able to report from every show. But with live streams, I feel like I’m in Lincoln Center.

These new initiatives were first introduced during the NYFW spring-summer 2010 season. That year, the venue changed from Bryant Park to Lincoln Center.

There was improved cell phone reception, Wi-Fi reception and kiosks for guests to check into shows electronically, instead of presenting the typical printed invites. The transition

wasn’t welcomed unanimously, but many bloggers and online editors said it made reporting back to readers much easier.

Before the changes occurred, editors visited showrooms and judged the collections themselves. That’s what everyone used to read about.

Their opinions would reflect the changes made in the collections before products were available to consumers in the marketplace.

“Now with social media, we have a voice. We have a way to express what we feel, why we feel certain things. It’s incredible,” Lubov Azria said to the Associated French Press.

Not only are online users introduced to what’s shown on the runway, but they’re also given a taste of what happens backstage. This is a big step for the notoriously private business of fashion.

Social media makes it easier for people to warm up to the industry because they can see what it’s like to produce the show and ultimately have their own front-row seat from home. It’s made my love for fashion grow, and I’m more apt to purchase clothing from a brand that has fun shows, advertisements and a lot of consumer involvement.

We don’t have to wait and see what editors

publish in papers or magazines; we can make decisions about our favorite looks ourselves. It makes the industry a lot more inviting.

That being said, designers love the social media revolution. It’s bringing them new audiences during and immediately after their shows and engaging potential buyers. When bloggers send tweets during a show, they engage their readers with the designers and bring everybody together. It creates one giant conversation.

Marc Jacobs is one designer who encourages his fans to engage in social media. At the Daisy Marc Jacobs Tweet Shop, fans get a free perfume sample for any post that includes the hashtag #MJDaisyChain. He encourages creativity, and the better the posts, the better the prizes.

Modern technology has helped redefine branding relationships between designers and consumers during important times like NYFW. These new relationships give a voice to those who wouldn’t have been heard before, and they expand the fashion community beyond the doors of Lincoln Center.

juice jam “We just vibed on every single level. It’s just us being friends and wanting to play music for people,” Lee said.

The group’s different sound was also due in part to the presence of brass instruments, featuring solos on the trumpet and saxophone.

Sophomore television, radio and film major Olivia Monko said that she witnessed the future of music in MisterWives.

“Her voice is just so original, and bringing in those brass instruments created such a unique wall of sound,” Monko said.

Moments after MisterWives finished, Tinashe made her entrance and danced her way onto the main stage, accompanied by her DJ, drummer and two backup dancers. Those sitting down or just arriving flocked to the area, with one student screaming, “She’s so hot. I wish I was her.”

After her first song, the R&B singer asked, “So how many boss ass b*tches do we have in the house today, Syracuse?” and received a loud cheer in response.

Broods, a sibling music duo, and rapper Ace Hood were the other two acts that played on the indie stage. Broods’ lead singer Georgia Nott addressed their New Zealand roots before starting their performance, which included their indie pop songs “Bridges,” “Mothers & Fathers” and “Coattails,” and caused a few fans to scream “We love New Zealand,” between songs.

Ace Hood undoubtedly drew the largest crowd to the indie stage. The rapper, wearing bright orange sneakers, opened with “Hustle Hard.” This hit single began a succession of songs that almost all ended with the sound of

dailyorange.com pulp@dailyorange.com

breaking glass or a loud horn.

“Everybody turn up!” the rapper said, taking off his shirt and throwing it into the crowd.

“Syracuse, I f*cking love you.”

It wasn’t until his final song, “Bugatti,” that the crowd was at its most energetic state.

Half the people whipped out their phones, and even more bystanders approached the stage to watch Ace Hood close his set.

Electronic dance music artist 3LAU’s performance on the main stage began as he stood on the platform and pumped the air with his fist. The screens that earlier broadcasted the performers to students standing in the massive crowd now showed kaleidoscopic graphics and shots of the crowd.

3LAU introduced his “video guy,” who was wearing an orange beanie and filming shots of the crowd.

“Rory and I are making your No. 1 video,” 3LAU said. “We need to let the whole world know that no one goes harder than ‘Cuse, so show that pride!”

During his set, 3LAU played original songs such as “Vikings,” but his remixes of classic hits like Clean Bandit’s “Rather Be” and Eiffel 65’s “Blue (Da Ba Dee)” were more popular amongst raving concertgoers.

Rapper Schoolboy Q took the main stage and attracted one of the day’s biggest crowds. He played off the crowd’s energy and at times refrained from singing to let fans sing his lyrics back to him.

After the first few songs, Tinashe joined Schoolboy Q on stage and performed her hit, “2 On,” with him, attracting more students who were lounging on the grass.

At the end of his set, Schoolboy Q threw his bucket hat into the crowd and thanked his fans for all of their support.

WILLIAM HEHIR, the bassist for the band MisterWives, kicked off Juice Jam on the indie stage with the band’s song “Vagabonds.”

renee zhou asst. photo editor

“You pay for my rent, you pay for my clothes, but most of all, you pay for my daughter to go to school every month,” he said. “My happiness is your happiness.”

Even more students swarmed the main stage when Dillon Francis, the headlining act, finally came on. His songs transitioned seamlessly and made for a continuous set, but the crowd had no problem keeping up with Francis’ mixes.

Wearing a white Syracuse shirt, Francis played through his set with his hit songs like “Get Low” and “I Can’t Take It” as UU staff threw white and orange beach balls into the crowd. Some of Francis’ remixes included “Summer” by Calvin Harris and “Wannabe” by Spice Girls, before he closed with a succession of beats and bass drops.

“Syracuse, I love you all,” Francis said, as he walked off the stage.

The crowd dispersed just as quickly as it assembled. Within minutes of Francis’ last remarks, all that was left of Skytop Field were empty water bottles.

UU co-director of public relations Max Lefkowitz said the event has been progressing and building over the past decade, especially with the addition of the second stage last year.

“Every year try to do something newer and bigger — we added an extra artist this year,” Lefkowitz said. “The spirit of this festival is continuing to grow and I’m glad we’re able to do that every year.” clramire@syr.edu | @clareramirez_

Only Thai will tell Lao Village cuisine lacks flavor, but leaves lasting impression

By Rohan Thakore contributing writer

L

ao Village, written in a vibrant red, faded into the green background. The complementary color scheme decorating the awning made it difficult to read the name of the restaurant. The white text written directly below introduced the food as Laotian and Thai.

Considering how little I know about the cuisine of Laos, I was eager to try new dishes. Unfortunately, the entire experience was a bit muddled.

To be fair, I’ve had food from Lao Village before. The restaurant has an outpost at the Central New York Regional Market where it operates every Saturday. It’s a green shack that pumps out delicious offerings, all properly balanced with veggies, meat, spices and sweet and salty flavor pairings. It was at this location that Lao Village fell on my radar. There’s comfort in getting delicious food from a humble locale.

But the downtown restaurant, located on West Genesee Street near Clinton Square, doesn’t have quite the same vibe. There were only a few people eating around noon, and with no music floating in the background, the space felt empty.

Behind the counter was a large blackboard that colorfully announced the day’s specials.

There were mini pork rolls stuffed with veggies and noodles, and then deep-fried in rice paper. A spicy basil fried rice served with a fried egg and a classic deep-fried banana were also scribbled on the specials list.

But what really caught my attention were the stuffed wings. Chicken wings were stuffed with ground chicken, pork, mushrooms, carrots, onions, garlic and noodles. All were deep-fried and served with a chili sauce. It sounded amazing, but sadly, it was sold out by the time noon rolled around.

The menu as a whole did a good job of covering a wide range of tastes and dishes.

There were the standard Thai food items like tom yum soup, pad thai and drunken noodles.

But, there were also a lot of menu items that seemed to stray away from the typical dishes available everywhere.

Since the stuffed chicken wings weren’t available, I went instead with classic chicken

sticks and curry pops as appetizers. The chicken was salty, a little dry and pretty plain.

The curry pops, however, were delicious. Tofu, mashed potatoes, onion, garlic and curry powder were deep-fried and provided the substance for the pops. It was an excellent and satisfying way to start off the meal.

For the main course, I ordered the classic chili Thai basil and a traditional Laotian dish called lab chin. It was at this point that Lao Village lost its stride.

The Thai basil had some nice spice and a

lot of veggies to balance it out. The tofu in the dish was a little disappointing and didn’t contribute much, although the Thai basil rounded everything out nicely.

But the lab chin was a big disappointment.

The description on the menu described this dish as seasoned beef prepared in a house sauce with chili peppers, cucumbers, red onions, cilantro and mint. But there were very little spices to be found and almost no flavor.

The dish was runny, even with all the rice, and really just felt incomplete. It was a shame

given that there were at least five traditional Laotian entrees on the menu.

It was also at this point that the restaurant was fully packed, which meant service slowed considerably.

This won’t be my last visit to Lao Village, and it certainly hasn’t left a bad impression by any means. Lao Village has so much potential that I’m certain someday it will be the restaurant that takes you through the beauty and culture of Laos and Thailand.

ball state she made her long-awaited debut Sunday.

She was in the right place at the right time to collect her first goal. On a rebound deflected by Henley, the ball ricocheted up into the air and Nearhouse was there for the putback to give the Orange a 1-0 lead 18:09 into the game.

Although she’s been described as a fearless player on the field by her teammates, she didn’t feel that way before her SU debut.

“I think you’re always nervous before a game,” Nearhouse said, “and especially before your first one back like today. I was nervous but, you know, I’m just excited to play.”

SU’s offense appeared eager to play after a lackluster showing against a tough Albany defense. Bradley said on Saturday, her team was giving the ball away too much and making poor passes. The Orange responded a day later by outshooting a previously unbeaten Ball State team, 28-4.

After Nearhouse opened the scoring, Brooks and freshman midfielder Lieke Visser began forming a profitable bond.

Visser connected with Brooks just as she entered the circle and Brooks’ shot found the back of the net with a minute and a half left in the first half.

Twelve minutes into the second half, another Visser-Brooks production was

field hockey unveiled. This time, Visser found Brooks at the back post to put Syracuse up 3-0.

Nearhouse provided the fifth and final offensive spark for the Orange, sailing a shot past a fully extended Henley to put SU up 5-0 with about five minutes left in the game.

Brooks credited Visser, who facilitated the offense with three assists.

“Lieke was able to find me two different times,” Brooks said, “and I think her distributing is really working out for us as a team.”

“We’re opening up seams and finding the open space behind defenders.”

Visser said the work they’ve done in practice has made the on-field connection between the two come natural.

She has not had much time to develop chemistry on the field with her teammates. But against Ball State, the rookie looked the part of a seasoned veteran as she assisted on both of Brooks’ goals with well-placed passes.

The opening weekend for seniors Brooks and Nearhouse carries significant weight both on and off the field. Bradley expects the two — as well as senior Jordan Page — to anchor her underclassmen-filled team and, most importantly, show them how to win.

“Experience is going to matter quite a bit this year,” Bradley said. “They’ve got to keep helping the young kids along because they’re the ones out on the field with them, not me.” cgrossma@syr.edu

Syracuse attack improves patience in victory over BSU

Lieke Visser patiently surveyed the field. She had enough space to fire a shot, but instead, she saw teammate Lauren Brooks at the goal post and passed her the ball. Brooks fired it home for her second goal of the day.

Displays of that same patience and composure led No. 5 Syracuse (6-0) to a 5-0 win against Ball State on Sunday at J.S. Coyne Stadium. The Orange’s smoother game helped head coach Ange Bradley’s team take advantage of the wider gaps in the Ball State defense to rebound from a 2-1 escape in Saturday’s home opener against Albany.

“We were a bit nutty yesterday,” said Bradley. “We had better composure today. In our attack, in our patience, to be able to go forward and play Syracuse-style hockey.”

Some of the 10 freshmen on the team felt the pressure of the home opener, Bradley said, especially having to follow a class of players that only lost one game at home during their entire collegiate careers.

Bradley believes the patience and shot selection the team played with Sunday showed off a better version of the Orange.

“Put yourself in their shoes,” Bradley said.

“Now you got to just realize we’re just playing, it makes no difference if we’re on Coyne or another field. You just got to play the game you love.”

While Bradley believes the biggest reason for the improved offensive performance comes from getting over the home-opening jitters, some of the players believe it was more a case of different opposing defenses yielding different results.

Against Albany’s more compact defense, the Orange failed to score until the 59:50 mark of the match, when Jordan Page scored to tie the game at one.

“The defense of Albany vs. Ball State were

a little different,” Brooks said. “Albany was a little more aggressive in the circle in not letting us get as many shots off. I think once we adjusted to Ball State it was a little easier to open them up.”

SU only recorded 10 total shots Saturday.

Against Ball State, the Orange was able to hit its goal total from the day before in just the first half with goals from Kati Nearhouse and Brooks, who both scored again in the second half. Outshooting BSU, 28-4, the Orange more than doubled the amounts of shots it tallied Saturday.

Albany was a little more aggressive in the circle in not letting us get as many shots off. I think once we adjusted to Ball State it was a little easier to open them up.

Lauren Brooks su forward

“I think I had a little space on the right side,” Visser said of her assist for SU’s third goal Sunday. “I had so (much) space there to work in the circle and look for the ball.”

Five minutes later, Page found herself in a similar situation not far from the goal. She could have forced a shot, but she had space and spotted Visser in front of the goal and passed to her instead. Visser put the ball in the net.

“We didn’t let them dictate,” Page said.

“I think that was a really big part of it. Us deciding when to go for it and being patient and taking our space and just getting the ball on goal.” rlraigro@syr.edu

d’abbraccio After the Orange hosts Maryland a week from Saturday, four of SU’s subsequent five games are against programs currently ranked in the Associated Press Top 25 poll.

“We’ve had some of the most difficult schedules in the country in the last eight, 10 years,” Shafer said during his press conference on SU’s media day in early August. “Nobody on the outside and nobody that is lining up against us cares about that …

“We have a great conference and great division and we understand where we’re at. We have to catch up to Florida State and Clemson and do a great job continuing to compete against the rest of them.”

Though the difficulty of the schedule has hardly wavered, SU’s distribution of bye weeks is much more challenging than it’s been in the past.

Just once in the last 22 years — 2006 being the other season — has Syracuse played a game in nine consecutive weeks. Last year’s team topped out at five straight weekends of play.

It’s a daunting task for a team that started

strong with student leaders to arrange a forum for the community to discuss the issues raised as a result of the video. More information about the event will be made available soon.

The SU Department of Public Safety and the Office of Equal Opportunity, Inclusion and Resolution Services are currently investigating the incident, Kantrowitz said in a statement on Saturday. The results of the investigation will be immediately reported to the Office of Student Rights and Responsibilities, she said.

While the first amendment protects Strong from any government action, SU is a private university that is not bound by the first amendment, said Roy Gutterman, director of the SU Tully Center for Free Speech.

“Any action will be university action, and the university is not a state actor,” Gutterman said. “It’s a private university and there’s really no first amendment issue here.”

He added that the university has its rights and its student code of conduct, and will have to determine whether Strong’s comments violated that code. But until all the factors of the situation are considered and the university takes action, the story isn’t over, Gutterman said.

“Speech like this occurs all the time,” he said. “Sometimes it’s done in hate, sometimes it’s done in jest, sometimes it’s done when someone’s not entirely all there. But we don’t know all the details of what happened here.”

Keeping an open mind until all the facts are out was one of the themes of a meeting on Saturday night in Goldstein Student Center.

About 50 students packed into a classroom in Goldstein for about two hours to discuss their opinions on the Strong video and what should be done in response.

Ronald Taylor, a class marshal for the class of 2015, organized the meeting. Taylor said he saw students commenting on the video of Strong, retweeting her photo and spreading inaccurate information.

“I was compelled to get people to realize that I know we’re upset, but let’s calm down

off its second year in the ACC by playing a Football Championship Subdivision opponent to the wire. If not for a missed chip shot of a field goal by Villanova at the end of regulation, the Orange would be 0-1 before the madness ensues.

But fortune fell on Syracuse’s side, even though its starting quarterback was tossed from the game for throwing a punch at a Wildcats linebacker.

It appears Hunt won’t have many issues moving on with his season, judging by Shafer’s word of Hunt’s remorse and gauging by the Twitter community’s response to Hunt’s apologetic tweets. The extra time between games has helped that process.

If SU fields the healthy starting lineup it desires on Saturday, then it’s not a wasted bye week.

But when Syracuse is matching up with the likes of Notre Dame, Louisville, Florida State, Clemson and more, and can’t come up for air until mid-November, it’ll be late in the season.

Maybe too late.

Phil D’Abbraccio is an asst. sports editor at The Daily Orange where his column appears occasionally. He can be reached at pmdabbra@ syr.edu or on Twitter at @PhilDAbb.

and let’s plan what action needs to be taken in a constructive way,” he said.

Taylor said there was about a two-hour turnaround between when he tweeted out an invitation to student organizations to attend the meeting and when the meeting took place.

The invite notified students that there would be an open meeting to see how the groups could move forward and respond to the video.

After the meeting, Taylor compiled a list of discussion points and emailed them to Syverud.

He said he will also be sending those points to Kantrowitz, the dean of student affairs.

Danielle Reed, the event and programming chair for the SU chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, was in attendance along with other members of the group’s executive board. She said one major talking point at the meeting was that Strong’s comments are not exclusively a race issue, but rather an issue of identity.

“A lot of students wanted to make it a point to not necessarily focus on Hanna Strong herself and that situation, but use it as a call or reminder that this is a bigger issue,” Reed said.

Claudia Chen, a junior communication and rhetorical studies major, said multiple perspectives were shared during the meeting.

Some people were trying to sort out the details of why Strong said what she did and wait for the facts, while others were looking at potential ways to act in response.

“It’s hard to try to come to one central thing that people want to see as a result of this because everyone has different opinions,” Chen said.

She added that the meeting brought up issues that those in attendance agreed existed, and said it was successful for an introductory meeting. But, she said there’s still more to be done, and that Strong’s comments can be used as a teachable moment for the campus.

“Whatever condition or state she was in, the racist and homophobic things she said were not OK,” Chen said. “It’s a really good way to start a conversation, not just about race or sexuality, but about the intersections of how those identities come together.” blsamuel@syr.edu

Double-overtime goal gives Orange victory over Vermont

By Paul Schwedelson staff writer

Entering double overtime, Syracuse head coach Phil Wheddon told forwards Alex Lamontagne and Maya Pitts to attack Vermont’s defense. He wanted his team to send more long passes behind the defense and be more direct toward syracuse 3 the goal. vermont 2 The Orange did exactly that in the 102nd minute, resulting in Lamontagne’s game-winning goal off a breakaway. She got behind Vermont’s defense and slotted the ball past Catamounts goalie Ally Ramos and into the bottom-right corner of the net.

Anytime you have 30 shots, you would anticipate a few more would go in. Credit to their goalkeeper who had a very good game, but we were very, very poor in front of the goal.

defense, giving them time to make passes from the midfield and move upfield, leading to both second-half goals.

This was SU’s third overtime game this season, which causes concern for Wheddon.

After squandering so many opportunities, he was disappointed his team couldn’t win in regulation. Though Syracuse has not dominated every game, the experience is valuable.

“That’s the positive, that physically, we’re in shape to do it and we have the ability to come through and win the game,” Wheddon said.

Wheddon specifically cited Syracuse’s midfield as being problematic against the Catamounts. Players turned into pressure when they should have turned away from pressure. When attempting simple passes it normally makes, the Orange failed at times.

Though SU struggled for the last 80 minutes, it played with urgency and rhythm early on. Passing was better in the first 20 minutes, allowing Syracuse to create opportunities and score twice.

“It was a hard-fought win,” Wheddon said.

“Vermont worked very hard and got back into the game but at the end of the day, we’re 3-1-2 and we still have three games on our nonconference schedule left to play.” pmschwed@syr.edu

Phil Wheddon su head coach

Following senior midfielder Hanna Strong’s indefinite suspension on Saturday, Syracuse (3-1-2) defeated the Catamounts (2-3) 3-2 on Sunday at Beyer-Small ‘76 Field in the Colgate Nike Classic in Hamilton, New York. Pitts and Stephanie Skilton each scored in the first 15 minutes to give the Orange a two-goal lead. SU outshot the Catamounts 30-8, but struggled to connect passes and avoid pressure after the first two goals, Wheddon said.

“Anytime you have 30 shots, you would anticipate a few more would go in,” Wheddon said. “Credit to their goalkeeper who had a very good game, but we were very, very poor in front of the goal.”

Syracuse led 2-0 at halftime but allowed goals in the 57th and 85th minute. The Orange did not step to UVM’s players on

bradley her meal when she left the table. No sympathy from Mom. “What are you doing that for? Why are you listening?” Bradley’s mother would ask.

With or without dinner, Bradley went to bed in the room she shared with her two sisters in the three-bedroom house her nine-person family called home. Each of her family members was so different, one wouldn’t think they were related, Bradley said.

Her second family was the five or so friends Bradley played and fought with from adolescence into adulthood. She said she doesn’t have many friends, but despite their differences, those friendships remain. The same coming-together of people that forged her childhood way out of her overcrowded, underfunded home is her favorite part of coaching field hockey.

It’s what drove her to a Hall of Fame playing career at Delaware, into coaching at Goucher College (Md.) and ultimately to the head of a Syracuse program that annually contends for a national title — all while molding a team of players from around the country, and world, that come from a development system she never could’ve afforded.

“It was your solace going out there to just play and have fun and be away from all the other stuff,” Bradley said.

Her “other stuff” was living with little to nothing beyond food, clothes, good advice and just wanting to get out. Families fractured by alcoholism, drug abuse and divorce plagued her other friends.

Among them, Bradley was lucky. They all knew their best way out of Drexel Hill was through scrapping their way to field hockey scholarships. She remembers one neighbor she grew up playing with who went to jail on explosives and illegal weapons charges. Another childhood friend went to jail, too.

“My parents didn’t go to college, her parents didn’t go to college,” said Jackie Gerzabeck, Bradley’s lifelong friend, Upper Darby High School teammate and former Old Dominion star. “But we both went to college.”

At University of Delaware practices, Bradley’s teammates watched on as she played goalkeeper against Monique Scally — an attacker and fellow Drexel Hill native — as the two players shoved each other in pursuit of every ball, shot and rebound.

Their Blue Hens teammates thought that Bradley and Scally would surely come to blows.

dougherty on Saturday afternoon, Syracuse Athletics released a statement from Director of Athletics Daryl Gross. In the statement, Gross announced that SU head coach Phil Wheddon suspended Strong indefinitely and that an investigation — by the Department of Public Safety and the Title IX Office — is underway.

“Syracuse Athletics, as a strong and diverse part of this University community, has zero tolerance for these actions,” Gross said in the statement.

Gross added in his statement that any findings of the investigation will be immediately reported to the Office of Student Rights and Responsibilities. There’s a plan of action, but it won’t stack up to the statement Strong could make.

Strong’s words hurt from a Syracuse women’s soccer player and they hurt from the mailman — because these words are heavy, anyone can throw them hard. They’re often said at Syracuse, by those

dailyorange.com sports@dailyorange.com

“When you’re playing, it’s no-holds-barred.

Kill or be killed,” said Scally, now a doctor. “ …

That was definitely something that the other girls on our team were not used to.”

The roommates weren’t trying to actually kill anyone — just the prospect of defeat. They had grown up pedaling to and practicing on tennis courts. But after UD practices Bradley and Scally would head out for a beer at Deer Park Tavern. It was the continuation of a childhood tradition.

“You just learn those things,” Bradley said, “because if you don’t, you’re not going to survive.”

Bradley loves that lesson and teaching it to her players from six countries and six states.

They’re among the best from an elite pyramid of travel and expense-heavy club teams. It’s her job to turn them into a cohesive unit that puts aside its own differences and wins field hockey games. Bradley’s taken 263 of them.

Heather Susek, a former Orange forward, came to SU talented, but quiet. Bradley made her into a leader by example, then an outspoken feature of the offense before Susek wrapped up her SU career in 2011 with 19 goals and seven assists.

“I think when it was happening I didn’t really notice so much,” Susek said. “Then after the fact it’s just ‘Wow.’ It kind of hits you all at once.”

ANGE BRADLEY is in her eighth season as head coach of the Orange and is looking to capture Syracuse’s first national title in a women’s sport. joshua chang staff photographer

Bradley doesn’t share much of her hardened history with her players. She’s not hiding from it, she said. It’s just kept beneath the surface with the quiet assuredness of someone who’s seen and knows enough not to overexpose what she comes from.

She encourages players that stay in Syracuse during the summer to bring a bike, but they don’t know how to change flat tires. One player didn’t know her bike had 30 gears or how to change them.

“I had to teach them how to change a tire,” she said, wheezing with laughter, “‘cause they got a flat. They’re like, ‘Ange, I got a flat, what do I do?’ I’m like, ‘Wow.’”

The players she mentors are products of a changed game. Bradley played on grass and some turf. The game was slower. As a goalie, she didn’t wear a facemask, just a mouth guard. And if she and her friends that formed the core of Upper Darby High School’s varsity team wanted to play a tournament or a camp out of town, they had to hitch rides with kids from somewhere else.

Parents in Drexel Hill don’t have time to drive their kids to practice. It’s why when she goes back to visit her father and sister on the same street she grew up in, the hometown her friends once starred in isn’t where she’s recruiting. It’s just a home base to stay at while scouting further North and West into Pennsylvania’s suburbanized field hockey hotbeds.

“They haven’t really had any success since the ‘80s, quite honestly,” Bradley said.

As an athlete and a kid, Drexel Hill was her rugged home playground. There she shot baskets with friends, passively playing and talking; drinking and otherwise getting into trouble without getting caught, eating bad food and trying to play field hockey games afterward.

But she also pushed her friends to train harder and longer. Arlington Cemetery sits behind Upper Darby High School. It was too big for cops to see much inside. It’s where local kids bought and used drugs.

Bradley and her friends ran two-mile loops around it.

Now when Bradley rides her bike, it’s not in place of a car. It’s for fun. Triathlons both deepen and relieve the lines of self-induced stress on her face. They’re an escape from the professional work ethic that drives her to in-season 80-hour work weeks as she leads the SU team best-positioned to snag the school’s first national championship in a women’s sport.

On Sunday, Bradley’s Orange had just buried Ball State, 5-0. It was 3 p.m. and no time to celebrate. In three hours, she planned to start watching game film again at home.

Getting home means arriving at the house overlooking a golf course where she hosts her players about once a year.

Coming home used to mean the conclusion of a day that started with her racing to high school on her yellow Schwinn — “always pushing the edge,” Bradley said. She’d come back from whatever game she had played that day.

Upon entering the row home, Bradley’s mother would have just one question for her, the kind “you’re not supposed to ask nowadays,” Bradley said.

“Did you win, did you lose?” Bradley’s mom asked. She won.

who “can” and those who “can’t.” And Strong isn’t just hurting homosexual and African-American communities with each word. She’s hurting a society striving to be better than her actions.

It’s not because she’s an athlete, but her being an athlete compounds the urgency for the university and Strong to push forward.

Strong needs to make an in-person public apology. Not an email statement. That works for Gross, Senior Vice President and Dean of Student Affairs Rebecca Reed Kantrowitz — who said she and Chancellor Kent Syverud echoed Gross’ sentiments in a statement — or even Wheddon.

That’s how these situations are usually dealt with. But Strong needs to stand in front of Syracuse University backdrop and behind a podium with the university seal on it and address what she said. Because if the program’s high-profile athletes can stand there before and after games and promote their teams’ and the school’s athletic values, Strong can face the music.

The Syracuse community deserves to see a

different set of words come out of her mouth.

At the end of the day, whether Strong is remorseful that she called that person a “f*ggot-a** n*gger” is irrelevant. Remorse won’t make the video go away because frankly nothing can.

But what is relevant is any child or teenager that has gone to see Strong play, looking up to her one minute and watching her say, “Call me out on saying the N-word, I don’t give a sh*t” the next.

What’s relevant is that those fans will be part of uncensored conversations in the days to come.

What’s relevant is anyone that has ever cheered her on, now has to wonder which Hanna Strong they were watching all along.

Strong’s platform as a collegiate athlete is both tall and far-reaching, and by saying those words she’s put herself at the front of a much larger conversation.

So she needs to lead it in some way. Take ownership of her words. Make herself vulnerable as a person whose actions were wrong, and recognize the societal and communal implications they carry.

There are words, like these, that transcend the mouths they come out of. In this instance, it happens to be hers and she happens to possess desirable talent on the soccer field.

What Strong has been presented with is a conundrum of sorts. One side may be her reality, in which she is ostracized from the Syracuse community and never comfortably puts on an Orange jersey ever again.

On the other is the fact that she, like me and you, is a human prone to make mistakes, however disgusting her mistake may be. Her social consciousness was lost in the moment but could shine in the aftermath. That, in short, is how progress is made.

F*ggot and n*gger.

I hope it’s the last time I ever have to cite those words as coming out of not just an athlete’s, but a person’s mouth.

When you’re playing, it’s no holds barred. Kill or be killed … That was definitely something that the other girls on our team were not used to.

RIDE ON Bradley’s childhood lessons of hardship, friendship fuel coaching dominance for No. 5 Syracuse meet the

coach Ange Bradley Field hockey part 4 of 5

By Jacob Klinger asst. sports editor

A

yellow Schwinn 10-speed bike served as Ange Bradley’s car. She rode it on her Daily Times paper route and to the pool where she lifeguarded to earn money to pay for field hockey camps.

Riding home, she had M-80 firecrackers thrown at her and car doors opened into her bike. As a teenager, Bradley knew which streets and corners to avoid based on the spider-tattooed gang members, which she knew as Warlocks, that hung around them.

She took the long way around the bridge on Bridge Street to her row house off Fairmont Road in her hometown of Drexel Hill, Pennsylvania. There, her older brothers would sometimes call her upstairs at dinner time, only to quickly eat

ANGE BRADLEY grew up in a town outside of Philadelphia in a small house with a family that didn’t have a lot of money. But a core group of friends and a passion for field hockey provided her a future. Now, in 17 years as a head coach, she’s had just one losing season and has amassed 263 career wins. joshua chang staff photographer

Bye week benefits SU now, but would be better used amid 9-week stretch

I

t’s a little early for Syracuse to be taking a breather. Maybe too early.

A Week 2 bye, the Orange’s earliest bye week in a season since 1996, does allow Syracuse to regroup after its ugly 27-26 win over Villanova on Aug. 29. But down the road, the Orange may very likely be wishing it had a week off when it’s grinding through nine straight games before its second bye in Week 11.

“Having an early bye week — you can say it comes at a bad time and you can also say it comes at a good time,” head coach Scott Shafer said during the Atlantic Coast Conference coaches’ teleconference on Wednesday. “We have some injuries from summer camp that I think

this bye week will help.”

In addition to a few bumps and bruises — SU’s offensive line needed some rearranging against Villanova due to the absences of Nick Robinson and Omari Palmer — the off week also lets more dust settle from Terrel Hunt’s opening-night ejection.

Now it would be surprising if SU hadn’t made an attempt while planning out the schedule to place its first bye week later in the season; it’s likely that it just couldn’t work out that way.

But the fact of the matter is that

the Orange won’t get another week off until the middle of November and will have to battle some of the country’s best teams along the way.

“Going to Mount Pleasant (Michigan), I’ve done that many times over my career,” Shafer said, referring to SU’s game at Central Michigan on Saturday and his time coaching at Western Michigan. “It’s not an easy tour. We have to get our kids mentally prepared for that. It’ll be a dogfight.”

But that’s just the start of it.

Nine straight weeks of collisions could enflame those bumps and bruises. And after Syracuse limps away after taking on one powerhouse, another one awaits just seven days later.

Seniors lead Syracuse to defeat Ball State

By Connor Grossman staff writer

On a team with more than three times the amount of freshmen as seniors, experience still took precedence in a weekend sweep for Syracuse.

Senior Lauren Brooks and redshirt senior syracuse 5 Kati Nearball state 0 house combined for five goals on the weekend for No. 5 Syracuse (6-0) in a 2-1 victory over Albany (4-1) on Saturday and a 5-0 defeat of Ball State (3-1) on Sunday. Both games were at J.S. Coyne Stadium, before crowds of 212 and 263, respectively.

Albany had yet to be down in a game all year until Brooks found

the upper-left corner of the goal to break a 1-1 tie with less than five minutes to go in regulation. On Sunday, Brooks kept her momentum going against Ball State.

“Lauren has a mentality of, ‘Just get it done,’” head coach Ange Bradley said. “I’d want a Lauren Brooks on my side if I was going to war.”

With SU already out to a 1-0 lead against Ball State, Brooks fired a backhand shot from just inside the circle that skirted right past goalie Shelby Henley. She was one of six Syracuse players to fire off at least three shots, but two of hers found the back of the net.

Nearhouse had an identical stat line. After sitting out the first five games of this season per NCAA rules, see ball
