Shaw Hall wraps up final renovation phase

By Ali Linan asst. copy editor

After four summers, four phases and extensive makeovers and repairs all around, renovations to Shaw Hall were completed this summer.

Shaw, the oldest occupied residence hall went through an extensive renovation in order to better organize the building, which had circulation and configuration challenges, said Rex Giardine, assistant director of capital projects for the Office of Campus Planning, Design and Construction. Shaw houses freshmen, sophomores and the

STEM learning community, and the changes affect both the living space and the accompanying dining hall.

It was decided six years ago that the residence hall had be updated, breaking the project up into four summer phases in order to add the entry and complete all of the work necessary, he said.

A new entrance is one of the biggest changes Shaw Hall received this summer. Students returning to campus will notice that the building’s entrance, which was once located on Comstock Avenue, has been relocated to Euclid Avenue.

“The transition should be very

easy as the new entry facing Euclid is a natural approach to the building with more ample short term, on-street parking than was available

changing ways More than a dozen Syracuse University buildings underwent some sort of construction this summer.

For a complete list of the renovations, See dailyorange.com on Comstock Avenue,” Giardine said in an email.

The change in the entrance will provide more space and clearer, separate paths to the dining hall and dorm parts of the building, he said. The entry will better organize the building to improve conditions for all residents, Giardine said. In addition, there will be an entry plaza featuring a seat wall, which can be seen as residents approach the south side of the building.

The new entrance to the entire hall includes an entrance to the dining center, said Lynne Marie Mowers, secretary to the director of SU Food Services, in an email. This will see shaw

Break in brief: News that happened this summer

By Justin Mattingly news editor

Here’s the news you might have missed while you were away on break this summer:

Boeheim defamation case Syracuse University and men’s basketball head coach Jim Boeheim

settled the defamation lawsuit filed by former SU ball boys Michael Lang and Bobby Davis on Aug. 6.

The terms of the settlement were not released.

Davis and Lang accused former SU associate men’s basketball coach Bernie Fine of molesting them while they were ball boys at the university. SU fired Bernie Fine on Nov.

27, 2011. He was not charged after an almost yearlong federal investigation and has denied all wrongdoing.

Boeheim called Davis and Lang liars who were out to get money, which led to the lawsuit.

Veteran-focused medical school SU is exploring the idea of creating a veteran-focused medical school.

The idea comes from Chancellor Kent Syverud’s call in his inauguration address to again make SU a leader in veterans’ affairs. It also aligns with Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s Upstate Revitalization Initiative, which calls for “big ideas” to identify ways to boost economic development. SU has created a faculty see summer page 9

Changes made to orientation

By Sara Swann asst. news editor

Syracuse Welcome 2015 will feature few changes from previous years and a larger focus on community.

The New Student Convocation has been moved to Thursday in order to make it the event to officially kickstart this year’s Syracuse Welcome, said Carrie Abbott, director of FirstYear and Transfer Programs. In past years, the New Student Convocation was held on Friday.

A barbeque on the Quad for all new students and their families will also be taking place on Thursday at 7 p.m. directly after the New Student Convocation. “(The barbeque) has never been done before,” Abbott said. “There will be about 6,000 students on the Quad so we’ll see how that goes.”

Thursday’s evening lineup is what Abbott said she is most excited about this year since the First-Year and Transfer Programs is taking a “new creative approach” to things. She see syracuse

OPINION

editorial board

SU should offer roommate questionnaire Living with a roommate is a defining experience of freshman year for many.

Because of this, Syracuse University should expand its roommate selection process to include the option of a brief questionnaire. This could be used to pair compatible roommates to make the transition into college more comfortable for incoming students.

The current roommate pairing process at SU is limited and only provides freshman students with two options: mutually selecting another first-year student or having their roommate assigned at random by Housing, Meal Plan and I.D. Card Services.

According to Housing, Meal Plan and I.D. services, 30 percent of incoming freshmen make arrangements prior to coming to campus in selecting a roommate, while the

other 70 percent opt for random pairing. Some use social media websites, such as RoomSurf, which is based on compatibility percentages to create matches between students, as a way to meet potential roommates with similar interests before coming to campus.

Of course, an algorithm based on a short questionnaire would not guarantee a perfect match, and should include a disclaimer stating that if students decide to take part, the chances of compatibility are not 100 percent.

Still, this survey could include a priority ranking system, and ask important habitual questions like those pertaining to sleeping or studying routines.

The answers to these questions could help match compatible roommates.

Eileen Simmons, director of Housing, Meal Plan and I.D. Card Services,

scribble

said in an email to The Daily Orange that SU does not provide a survey because “students evolve during their first year at SU” and that the university wants students to see random pairing as “a valuable and worthwhile experience.”

While living with a randomly selected roommate has the potential to be an educational life experience, some students are simply not comfortable with this process.

The university should aim to accommodate students every way they can to make the transition to life at SU as comfortable and convenient as possible. Providing the option to complete a short compatibility survey prior to being paired with a roommate can help make for a more welcoming experience to the university, which can set the tone for a successful freshman year.

magine getting through college without the Internet. Luckily, millennials don’t have to.

Smartphones have made staying informed, organized and connected easier than ever. For a more manageable freshman year, incoming students should be equipped with the right apps to navigate college and stay in the loop at Syracuse University. New students should take advantage of this technology to look no further than their own palms to email a professor, celebrate the latest Orange win or sell old textbooks.

SU Athletics is among the first departments to launch a collegiate iPhone application to keep fans in the loop. With the app, students can find out who Syracuse will beat next with access to news updates, schedules, scores and rosters for every Orange team.

The app also features live Twitter updates for an integrated experience. It allows users to hear what SU die-hards are yelling about in the app’s Fan Buzz stream, and listen to coaches reflect on the game with the Coach Talk feed.

Like athletics, websites such as Blackboard and MySlice are staples to life at SU. Student use these sites every day to communicate with professors and check class schedules, grades and assignments. These apps are home screen must-haves for easy access and a higher grade point average.

In the same way that Mom cares about grades, she also cares about safety. The SU Department of Public Safety does too. The DPS app is an important resource to ease parents’ minds and keep new students aware of unfamiliar surroundings.

The app integrates a variety of DPS information, resources and social media posts on one platform. It displays a map of DPS Public Safety notices and features a combined message feed with live safety updates and Orange Alerts.

It automatically imports important DPS phone numbers into the user’s contact list, ensuring support with the tap of a finger.

Before the student body realizes it, it will be the end of the spring semester and we will all want a Block Party concert ticket, but will only have seven dollars in our bank accounts on

average. Remember these powerful words: used textbooks.

Cashing in on textbooks has never been so efficient. With SU Bookstore’s Sell Used Textbooks app, simply scan the book’s barcode, click “get price” and receive an instant quote. There – now you have $57. Go get ‘em, big spender.

Was that ETS class cancelled for the day? Who will the Orange beat at its next basketball game? Get your tech-tools organized and set yourself up for a smooth transition into college life. With an arsenal of apps to keep students informed, the Class of 2019’s first year is sure to be a success.

College’s departments continue move to different location

By Danny Mantooth copy chief

The David B. Falk College of Sport and Human Dynamics is preparing to welcome its students to a new home.

The school began the process of relocating to White and MacNaughton Halls last year and as of the week before classes started, only the Nutrition and Food Studies departments have yet to complete the move, said Michele Barrett, director of communications for Falk, in an email.

The college had previously planned on the

from page 5

syracuse welcome added that she is excited to see students’ reactions to the events.

Thursday’s events are organized so that students can connect with each other and to the university. Friday’s events are focused on students and their individual school or college.

Lastly, Saturday’s events are geared toward students forming a connection with the city of Syracuse, Abbott said.

“We took a hard look at the university’s schedule and we decided it was time to rethink things,” Abbott said. “We wanted to create an

Food Studies and Nutrition departments moving in this summer and fall.

White Hall currently houses the following departments: Office of the Dean, Advancement/Alumni, Information Technology, Admissions, Social Work, Public Health and Child and Family Studies.

MacNaughton Hall houses the Sport Management department, the Office of Student Services and the College Research Center.

The Marriage and Family Therapy department will remain at Peck Hall in downtown Syracuse.

Barrett said the new, centralized location

provides a home base as well as “opportunities for faculty in the various disciplines to be engaged with each other and to interact and collaborate with students.”

A new Nutrition Assessment, Counseling, and Education Center will allow students and faculty to study simulations enhancing the overall nutrition curriculum, Barrett explained. Additionally, sport management students will have access to a lab dedicated to the technology of sports and stadium event operations.

Kim Desmond, an assistant in the Office of

Advancement/Alumni, said the school expects to complete the move by spring 2016, with the Nutrition and Food Studies departments to finish moving over winter break.

As for the buildings themselves, Desmond said they can be confusing for students unfamiliar with their layout. MacNaughton and White Halls are only connected by the first and second floors. Students entering either building from the Quad will be on the third floor of either building.

However, Desmond added that the school is looking into more signage and way-finding.

experience where students’ focus is on being a part of one community.”

Aidan Meyer, who is one of 44 Orientation Leaders and a junior public relations major, said it will be interesting for new Orientation Leaders and those like himself, who are returning, to see how it all happens during this year’s Syracuse Welcome.

As an Orientation Leader, Meyer said his favorite event was Citrus in the City, which will be held on its usual day, Saturday, this year. Citrus in the City allows students to sample food from local restaurants and enjoy various kinds of entertainment, including a comedy show in the Civic Center.

“It’s really fun for new students to be in the city of Syracuse and around food,” Meyer said.

“I wish they had more events like this to further integrate the university into the city.”

Other Syracuse Welcome events include the Hendricks Chapel Ice Cream Social and The Slice is Right Game Show on Wednesday, Home to the Dome on Thursday, Orange Blast Involvement Fair on Friday and Cuse Carnival — another new event — on Saturday.

Cuse Carnival will start at 9 p.m., immediately following the Citrus in the City event, and end at 1 a.m. The event, located at Hendricks Field near Sadler and Lawrinson Halls, will feature free food, carnival games and other attractions.

Syracuse Welcome also now has a mobile app, which features Syracuse Welcome information as well as information about the university and a new student checklist.

Whitney Harrigan, a first-time Orientation

Leader and a junior accounting and finance dual major, said she is most excited to make an impact on new students during this year’s Syracuse Welcome.

“I know this can be an exciting, but also stressful and nerve-wracking time for parents and students, so I hope to ease some of their stress and get them excited about being an Orangeman,” Harrigan said in an email.

Abbott, the director of First-Year and Transfer Programs, said the purpose of the Syracuse Welcome events is to not only benefit students academically, but to also help students feel connected to each other and their schools and colleges.

“Orientation is a vital part of the incoming freshman experience,” Abbott said. “It’s about students feeling connected to the university in the best possible way.”

Administrative changes Mark Coyle was named as SU’s new director of athletics on June 19. Coyle comes to SU from Boise State University where he was also the athletics director.

Jackson previously served as the vice president for student success and vice provost for academic success at the University of Akron. Syverud’s former chief of staff — Hoang-Anh Tran — has returned to Kansas City, Missouri in order to purse new opportunities.

SU appointed Aaron Hodukavich as its new Americans with Disabilities Act coordinator in early July. A search for a Chief Equal Opportunity Officer is also underway and Sheila Johnson-Willis — the current director of equal opportunity and inclusion — has been appointed interim Chief Equal Opportunity Officer and Title IX Officer.

Pete Sala, who served as the interim athletics director for about three months, was named as Syracuse’s vice president and chief campus facilities officer on June 24.

While the new renovations done to Shaw Hall mostly affected the residence hall, Shaw Dining did receive new electronic menu boards.

“This summer has primarily been renovations associated with common spaces for the residents along the route from the new ground floor entry,” said Eileen Simmons, director of Housing, Meal Plans and I.D. Card Services.

Some of the changes include a new main desk, a new mailroom and mailboxes, new staff offices, a two-story lounge, a recreation space and a large meeting and multipurpose room.

Since Shaw Hall houses the STEM learning community, a series of small team rooms for group work or study were also added. Simmons said the renovations done there should serve to complement and improve the program.

“The renovations are complete for now,” Giardine said, “but there may be some minor exterior masonry and site improvements in the coming summers.” avlinan@syr.edu

Orange After Dark to feature more events this semester

By Alexa Torrens asst. news editor

Since the launch of Orange After Dark in 2010, administrators behind the Syracuse University program have been trying to sponsor fun events for students every weekend. This year, they are nearly there.

With the exception of three weekends, including Family Weekend and Homecoming/ Alumni Weekend, there will be at least one OAD event every Friday or Saturday night until Thanksgiving break.

These events include “classics,” such as Cosmic Bowling and Fright Night at the Fair, and new, primarily on-campus events such as a murder mystery dinner based on the board game “Clue” that will take place in Schine Underground, said Courtney Jones, an assistant director of the Office of Student Activities.

“It was partly based on some research that

we did looking at what other schools offer and partly on things that we thought would be different and would be interesting to students,” Jones said of the on-campus expansion of the OAD program.

The expansion of OAD coincides with the program’s new “home” in the Office of Student Activities, Jones said. The program was formally co-chaired by staff members in both the Office of Student Activities and the Office of Residence Life, but starting this year OAD is no longer under the jurisdiction of the Office of Residence Life.

The decision to move the program to the Office of Student Activities was made to streamline the goal of beefing up the number of events and because “it just kind of made sense” for the program to be anchored in the Office of Student Activities, Jones said.

Another goal administrators have for the OAD program this year is “really getting stu-

dents to know that if you’re feeling bored or you’re not sure what’s going on on-campus at night or on the weekends that we’re kind of the first thought for them,” Jones said.

The success of OAD events is gauged by the number of tickets sold to that event and by student evaluations, which are completed at the end of each event. The evaluations also ask students for suggestions on future events.

“We do tend to listen to what students want and what they like,” Jones said.

The Office of Student Activities has also been getting feedback regarding OAD events from incoming freshmen that are participating in Summer Start.

“It’s actually been really helpful for us to let them know kind of in advance notice that, ‘hey, here’s some of the events that we’re planning for the semester,’ and we’re getting really positive responses,” Jones said.

Romy Weidner, an incoming freshman and Summer Start student who recently saw a presentation about OAD, said in an email that the events “look really interesting.”

“I like how they try to bring everyone together with different activities. I would participate in it definitely, but maybe it would work to promote the activities a bit more,” Weidner added.

There will be 18 events this semester, starting with a premiere viewing of “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” on Sept. 8 in Schine 304S and ending with the premiere of “The Hunger Games: Mockingjay, Part 2” on Nov. 19 in Regal Cinemas at Destiny USA, according to the OAD website.

Off-campus events will remain priced at $3 and on-campus events will be free of charge in order to make events more accessible, Jones said. atorrens@syr.edu

International students use orientation to adapt to campus life

By Satoshi Sugiyama staff writer

Syracuse University will welcome first-year students from 59 different countries this year.

“Everybody is new to the university,” said Carrie Abbott, director of the Office of FirstYear and Transfer Programs. “Everybody is looking to make connections and new friends.

And everybody is there to learn what it means

to be a college student.”

But for international students, it’s common to interact more often with others who speak their native language. Programs set-up by SU aim to have incoming international students interact more with the greater SU community and those who don’t speak their native language.

“If (students) do not engage with others, they will not acquire the intercultural communication skill,” said Elane Granger,

assistant director for student service at the Lillian and Emanuel Slutzker Center for International Service.

To encourage international students to get comfortable in an unfamiliar environment, the Slutzker Center organizes multiple programs.

“Connection,” for example, is a mentoring program for first-year and transfer undergraduate students in which they can seek help from mentors depending on their needs.

Granger said mentoring programs help students get familiar not only to the university but also the educational system in the U.S..

“Mentors are helpful to the new students in so many ways because they don’t know about the registration process or they don’t know what to do if they don’t understand homework or professors’ office hours,” Granger said. ssugiyam@syr.edu

Syracuse music venues offer wide range of talent for every genre, budget From local acts taking stage for the first time to big names on national tours, the Syracuse music scene is booming. Local venues both on and off campus provide hubs for head bangers, ravers and jammers alike. The Pulp staff compiled the pros and cons of these local hotspots, and why you should check them out.

—Compiled by The Pulp Staff

SCHINE UNDERGROUND Pros: This venue’s biggest appeal is its location in Schine Student Center. It’s right on campus and accessible to all students. Plus, because events here are usually hosted by Syracuse University organizations like University Union, you’ll be able to get in for a reasonable price.

Cons : It’s not tiny, but it’s definitely no Carrier Dome. Schine Underground would make you feel stuffy if it were filled to capacity. Be sure to buy tickets early for these events,

GENRES Both small and national acts are rolling into Syracuse in the next few months. The Pulp staff compiled a calendar of notable concerts coming to the Salt City.

since not many will be available in the first place.

“Our capacity for Schine is about 350 people, so what’s great about that venue is that it allows us to book really small, up-and-coming acts that are really on the rise. Acts students may not get to the chance to see in such an intimate space later on.”

THE WESTCOTT THEATER Pros: The spacious but intimate venue allows audience members to closely interact with acts onstage.

A food truck may be stationed at the courtyard for some events, but there’s always a full bar available for those 21 and over.

Cons: It’s a short 15-minute walk from campus, but seeing as most events end pretty late at night, you might want to make sure you have a ride home before attending an event at the Westcott Theater.

venue in terms of close-to-campus location, it is the place to go. It is a 700-people theater with a full bar, huge stage, so much room. It’s just the best place to see a concert in Syracuse. It’s where all the midrange bands come, it’s where you are going to see the most concerts.”

F SHED AT THE MARKET Pros: Larger than the Westcott Theater, this venue has allowed concert promoter UpstateShows.com to bring more popular acts to Syracuse, including acts like Skrillex. In the warmer months, the sides of the building can be opened to make the venue partially open-air.

Cons: The F Shed is far from campus, near Destiny USA and the Regional Transportation Center, which means that freshmen without a car would need to take a bus or a taxi to get to events. Also, the venue is known main-

ly for its Electronic Dance Music concerts, so if you are looking for another genre, know that they are a rare occurrence there.

“The F Shed is more of a specialized venue, there’s not many concerts there, but when there are concerts there, they are big concerts. Like the Safe In Sound Festival coming on September 11, there are like five big DJs, or like (The) String Cheese Incident or the Disco Biscuits, those are both heavy hitter bands in the jam band community.

sex and health

Freshmen should use college to explore sex life at personal pace

Y

ou heard it all senior year from teachers, older siblings, aunts, uncles and cousins: “College will be the best four years of your life.”

It’ll be one of the last things your parents whisper in your ear before they leave you sitting on your dorm bed alone feeling a mixture of thrill and anxiety. While you know it’s a reference to exploring new things, finding your life’s passion and blossoming into the independent adult the world wants you to be, a part of you twists against the double meaning behind “best four years.”

There are still rules in college; there will always be rules, but the lines are blurrier.

No “11 pm curfew,” no “You can’t sleep with someone in your room.” Your bed can now be a communal place, shared with whomever you so desire at any odd hour of the night and your parents will never know, because your parents

ALEX ARCHAMBAULT STAYING FIT & DOING IT

are going back home.

Some of you have dreams of losing your virginity while others have bets with your buddies of whose game will be the best.

Some of you desire to fall madly in love with a boy or girl who lives across the hall while others have goals of getting seniors to notice them. For the most part, you will think that your friends are hooking up with more people than you, and you will all be quick to exaggerate your sexual adventures when the chance presents itself.

But here is the secret; your college sex life is just that. It is yours.

For some of you, it will be a sprint. Full

charge ahead, you will bonk around in different beds with no caution. The majority of your friends will probably hook up with at least one person in the first few months of school and it will probably lead to nothing. Experimenting and “having fun” is nothing to be ashamed of.

How are you supposed to know what you like if you haven’t tried anything?

On the other hand, some of you will prefer to explore the college sex life at a jog. Hooking up should not be your sole thought going into your freshman year and for those of you who are focused on formulating friendships and making the most of your classes, I applaud you. Eventually, we all want to be in a place where we can enjoy both a 4.0 and a flourishing sex life, but if you need to put one on the back burner for a bit, I recommend it be the sex.

If you see yourself as a jogger, I implore you

not to compare yourself to your friends who are gushing over their multiple make-outs in one night. It’s OK to take your time and find someone you care about before deciding to share your twin XL bed. “Quality not quantity” is usually correct.

And some of you will not be ready to enter the race at all. If you don’t feel ready to have sex, don’t cave just because “everyone is doing it.” Believe it or not, a lot of people aren’t “doing it.”

Like all things in life, with great privilege comes great responsibility and whom you bring to bed is no exception. Always ask for consent, wear those condoms and get ready for “the best four years of your life.”

movies

Films mirror college experiences, offer guidance for new students

W

elcome, freshmen, to Syracuse University. After four years of slugging through high school and living with your parents, you are finally living the dream on your own. The question is, what exactly is that dream?

Now I’m sure some of you have older siblings and friends who have told you all about the college experience, but many of us learn about college through the movies. In the history of film, we have seen several depictions of what college is like, and I’m sure many of you have these movies in mind with your first days on campus. Thinking of choosing a movie as a guide for your time here at Syracuse? Let’s go over what our options are:

“Animal House” This film is often thought to be the college movie. The parties are insane, and everyone has a great time. If you want to come to Syracuse and live the life of “Animal House,” you will certainly have that opportunity through Greek life, but keep in mind the whole experience of college. If you want to drink the next four years away, please don’t let me stop you.

Will you have fun? Absolutely. Will your liver be happy with you? Probably not. Will your grades be good? I wouldn’t count on it. But if you came to college to have some fun, raise your red Solo cup and have a party.

“Monsters University” So, you want to join Greek life, but “Animal House” seems a bit extreme for you? No worries, you can also take the route of “Monsters University.” Here, you will plan to take your academics seriously, but also dabble into the social aspects of Greek life. Be sure to avoid some of Mike Wazowski’s mistakes though, and come into college with an open mind.

Don’t be blinded by the fact you want to be a scarer (or whatever your chosen occupation is) and block out other passions that may emerge. College is a time for you to restart, so go with the flow socially — your friends don’t have to be “cool,” you just have to enjoy them.

“The Social Network” In 2015, there are more opportunities than ever to be entrepreneurial in college. There are a plethora of resources available to you if you want to start a business, real or online.

If you are interested in social media, there are always companies hiring for ambassadors, which is a great way to get involved. In fact, the School of Information Studies will probably even help you with the details if you decide you want to be the next Mark Zuckerberg. With that said though, as we saw in “The Social Network,” Zuckerberg’s time in college was not all sunshine and roses. At the end of the day, remember how many great entrepreneurs failed before they succeeded. And if you do succeed, you are never too cool for school.

You are here to be a student, and that includes classes, as boring as they may be, and new people, as silly as you may find them.

ERIK BENJAMIN

DON’T CALL ME SHIRLEY

“Drumline” If you came to Syracuse to play in the marching band and then marry Mariah Carey like this film’s protagonist, I’m not sure how well that will work out, but anything can happen, even if it didn’t work out for Nick. But, if you are passionate about any activity, like Nick Cannon’s love of marching band, there is an opportunity for success. But remember, even though you are a freshman and you might have to work your way up the ladder, don’t think of yourself as “just a freshman.” You can think of yourself as a cattle when you get moo-ed at on frat row on Friday night, but you are not “just a freshman.” You can work your way up through any group or organization, but it could take a lot of time and dedication.

“Legally Blonde” Before Elle Woods went to Harvard for law school, she was an undergraduate at UCLA just having the time of her life. She was involved in her sorority and fell in love with the objectively dreamy Warner Huntington III. She eventually goes to law school to get him back, but ultimately finds a new bae in Emmett Forrest. Now many of you are coming to college with high school sweethearts.

I’m sure you’ve been told advice you did not want to hear on this topic time and time again, but the most important thing is just to keep an open mind. You can stay with that special someone if you think it will work, but be sure to realize when it isn’t.

You are very busy here, and you might want this time for yourself. Additionally, if you are coming to college with the intention of these four years being only for you, remember to keep your eyes and heart open, because you never know who you are going to find.

These films, among many others, have given us an idea of what college is like, but within a week of being at Syracuse, you will be shocked at how different your life is compared to the experiences on screen.

At the end of the day, everyone has a different experience, and though you can use these movies as template, you should seek out to create your own movie in college.

You can join a band or join a fraternity, you can join both, or join neither. Your college experience has been green-lit, as they say in Hollywood. Now you just have to bring the action. See you on the big screen.

JACKIE HOMAN

PROBABLY WEARING PAJAMAS looking put-together gets freshmen bonus points in their houses. It’s a good thing a classic blazer never goes out of style.

The School of Education Backpack Every future teacher needs a tried-and-true way to lug around heavy textbooks and piles of lesson plans. For students in the School of Education, a backpack is a necessity. To avoid blending in with the elementary school crowd, get a simple yet stylish bag like Herschel’s black suede and leather Heritage Backpack.

The Falk Fitbit The Fitbit has transformed from a purely fitness-focused exercise band to a stylish accessory with the introduction of Tory Burch for Fitbit—a best-of-both-worlds collaboration that disguises the Fitbit with a luxe metal bracelet covering. It is perfect for athletic kids in the David B. Falk College of Sport and Human Dynamics who are always on the run but still want to look stylish. And if Tory Burch isn’t your thing, there are tons of other Fitbit covers available on Etsy.

The Engineering and Computer Science Laptop Sleeve What better accessory than a laptop sleeve for students who are essentially majoring in

the science of their devices? A good case turns a boring MacBook into an opportunity to show off your personality. Try a minimalistic neoprene sleeve from Urban Outfitters or something a little funkier like a Marc by Marc Jacobs leopard print case.

The iSchool Tech Watch Students in the School of Information Studies are all about the latest technology. The Apple Watch is a perfect fit for techies and future web developers. Plus, the innovative gadget comes in a variety of bands to suit everyone’s style. Not a fan of Apple?

Android has a slew of watches with customizable faces, bands and shapes.

The Arts and Sciences Scarf Studying French? A wispy silk scarf has that Parisian je ne sais quoi. Studying biology? In the spirit of the study of life, try a bright green scarf. Undeclared for now? You’ll probably have classes all over campus, so grab a warm scarf to get you through the snowy days. Just like the College of Arts and Sciences allows students to take courses in nearly every subject imaginable, a versatile scarf can be made to fit any occasion.

The School of Architecture Slippers Everyone at Syracuse knows that architecture students get almost no sleep. As if their program being five years long wasn’t enough, they also stay up in the studio way past normal class hours. For architecture girls and boys, cozy slippers are a must-have for late nights and tired feet.

The VPA Statement Hat Students in the College of Visual and Performing Arts are talented and creative. A bold topper, like a floppy felt hat for ladies or the unique Topman satin bucket hat for daring guys, is a great touch for these kids who aren’t afraid to stand out or make a statement.

The Newhouse Headphones Students in the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications are constantly running around campus conducting interviews and filming for their various journalism and communications projects. If you’re a Newhouse kid, it’s smart to invest in a quality pair of headphones — whether you’re making a video for COM 117 or transcribing an interview for NEW 205, you’ll use them a lot. For a glam look, try the Frends with Benefits Taylor headphones. Into something a little quirkier? Check out Donald Robertson Edition Urbanears.

The ESF Reusable Tote The SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry students don’t technically go to Syracuse, but you’re sure to see them around campus. Often spotted wearing tie-dye, ESF kids are carefree and eco-friendly. Channel your inner ESF by ditching plastic throwaway bags and choosing a cool reusable tote instead.

PASSING IT DOWN

FOOTBALL

LB Bennett shines in preseason

By Paul Schwedelson asst. copy editor

When Syracuse coaches were recruiting Parris Bennett, his long arms kept coming up as a point of emphasis.

Bennett’s “well above average” wingspan is what gives him an advantage while blitzing, his high school coach at University of Detroit Jesuit (Illinois), Oscar Olejniczak, said.

“Whoever’s blocking him, it helps keep them off of (Bennett), so he’s able to keep them separated from his body,” Olejniczak said, “and be able to use his athleticism once he gets off of them because he has separation.”

This preseason, Bennett has secured the strong-side linebacker position for Syracuse, the one vacated by the graduation of Dyshawn Davis. Entering camp, a three-way competition ensued with fellow sophomore Jonathan Thomas and senior Oliver Vigille. But Bennett’s athleticism and explosion around the edge made him stand out.

organ Hackworth, 8 years old and ready to show off a new move he had been working on for some time, stood

surrounded by his father and the United States U-17 Men’s National team his father coached.

“I used to be a little ball boy that would just run around,” Hackworth said. “One day, my dad was like, ‘If you can do a rainbow in

front of the whole team — because I had been working on that for a long time — then you can come and play with the team.’”

Hackworth flicked the ball from behind him over his head, rainbowing the ball and then getting mobbed by the crowd of players.

John Hackworth, Morgan’s father, has coached all levels of soccer, from Wake Forest men’s and women’s teams and youth national teams to the Philadelphia Union of

Major League Soccer. The foundation that John helped Morgan form in soccer is the one that Morgan has used to forge his own path.

Morgan is now a freshman at Syracuse and the 140th-ranked recruit in the Class of 2015 by College Soccer News. He’s started in two of the Orange’s preseason games.

FIELD HOCKEY

Wilson adjusts to life in states for SU field hockey

By Liam Sullivan staff writer

For Zoe Wilson, the differences between her home in Ireland and her new home in Syracuse go down to the smallest detail.

What she always called “the goal” has become “the cage.” Wilson is familiar with “leading it home”

but must become accustomed to “cutting” here in the U.S. It’s not an easy transition from Ireland to the United States. While most of the language stays the same, subtle differences in vocabulary between the countries have proved to be an obstacle.

And while adjusting to a new country has been difficult, she’s

sition to college and the U.S., and wants to help Syracuse vie for a

national championship after the Orange fell one win short last year.

“I know what to expect,” Wilson said. “… It’s given me a sharpness and edge that I can bring into the team.”

Wilson represented the U-18 and U-21 Irish national teams, serving as the captain of her U-18 team and playing up with the 2014 U-21 team

He moves his hips, he’s long. … I would say our best blitzer is Parris, athletically.

Chuck Bullough su defensive coordinator

Last year he played in eight games and made only four tackles. Now he bears the responsibility of playing alongside sophomore Zaire Franklin and junior Marqez Hodge in the second level of the defense.

“Parris Bennett, he’s probably the most athletic (blitzer),” defensive coordinator Chuck Bullough said. “He moves his hips, he’s long. … I would say our best blitzer is Parris, athletically.”

Franklin added that Bennett’s blitz lines are “almost perfect” because of the way he can bend and maneuver around blockers.

In high school, Bennett played inside linebacker and wide receiver, a testament to his athleticism. In college, his 6-foot, 216-pound frame makes him a better fit at outside linebacker, rather than inside, because his lack of bulk isn’t see bennett page 16

Morgan knew he’d end up a soccer player.

His two younger brothers play the sport, and from a young age Morgan hung around his father’s teams. John’s coaching career moved the Hackworth family from Florida to Philadelphia, where John coached the Union when Morgan was in eighth grade.

While initially the Union didn’t have an academy — a youth development program to grow talent — Morgan joined the first Union academy team when it came to fruition.

Morgan’s father didn’t coach him directly, but did provide advice for his son. Although some of the critiques his dad would hand down were repetitive, Morgan has seen their value over time.

“Listening to him talk about his ideologies of soccer,” Morgan said, “… tactically and formationally and thinking on the ball, that’s been huge for me just to, like, know the game and become a smart soccer player.”

When Morgan was recruited in high school, Wake Forest came knocking, partially because his father both coached and played at the school.

While Bennett is slotted at the strong-side position, linebackers coach Clark Lea rotates his players in practice so they learn each of the three linebacker positions. Head coach Scott Shafer said it helps build players’ football IQ, something

dailyorange.com sports@dailyorange.com

But after Morgan met McIntyre, he knew McIntyre was a coach he wanted to learn from.

John missed the Orange’s three preseason exhibitions while coaching the U.S. U-15 boys’ squad in England as Morgan’s started down his own path. He spent this summer at SU, working with assistant strength and conditioning coach Corey Parker. Morgan ran 2,000 meters before class and lifted weights after. McIntyre said Morgan has been one of the fittest players on the team.

So far, McIntyre has rotated Morgan and various players into the preseason lineup to decipher combinations for the regular season. Really, it’s not all that different from when Morgan was doing rainbows in front of the U-17 U.S. Men’s National Team.

The gaze of his father has been replaced by that of McIntyre, the U-17 players have been replaced by his Syracuse teammates and instead of a rainbow, all eyes are on his collective game.

“I wanted to do my own path. He went to Wake Forest and there was a lot of pressure on me to go in that direction, to go there,” Morgan said. “… I really wanted to come here and win a national title with this team and start my own thing here at Syracuse.” cjlibona@syr.edu

that was already a strength of Bennett’s.

“The transition to college is always difficult but the football IQ that Parris has helped him and he’s a quick learner,” Olejniczak said. “So I don’t think it was as difficult mentally.”

When training camp began in early August, the competition for the third linebacker spot was one of several position battles on SU’s youthful defense. It took just four

In two games for the U-21 squad last summer, Wilson scored three of Ireland’s 10 goals in that time, tied for most over that span.

SU head coach Ange Bradley expects Wilson to contribute though she isn’t sure what role she will initially hold.

“To put expectations upon a freshman is really difficult to do,” Bradley said. “But for her first time, I want her to do the things she does well — step up, pressure the ball and organize people and move

A week later, after Shafer watched tape of the Orange’s Fan Fest scrimmage, Bennett continued to please the coaching staff.

into the attack. We’re really going to try to keep it simple and expand her role.”

In the team’s first preseason scrimmage against Bucknell, Wilson created offense from the back of the formation. Bradley praised Wilson’s aggressive defense and ability to push the offense from that spot.

Wilson admitted that she’s had to adjust to how quickly the game moves in the U.S. She described field hockey as much more “static” in Ireland and that she’s had to work in practice to play more fluidly on the move.

Work in “ball drills,” where players sprint after a ball far in front of them before pushing it up the field, has helped the freshman midfielder play and make decisions on the move.

“I feel more at home every day,” Wilson said.

“It’s taken an adjustment, but it’s still hockey.”

Russell has been impressed with how quickly her teammate picked up the slight differences and said Wilson picked up the movement on the back line of the defense faster than she did for the front-line movement her freshman year.

Both Bradley and Russell think she has a bright future ahead of her in Syracuse.

Said Russell: “She’s landed on her feet and even though she’s still learning, you can tell she belongs.” lpsull01@syr.edu

Bennett has yet to make his first career start, but it’s becoming clear he’ll be the one lining up alongside Franklin and Hodge for SU’s first defensive set of the year against Rhode Island on Sept. 4.

“I’ve really liked the way he’s matured and approached his process, if you will,” Shafer said. “So it’s nice to see Parris Bennett playing up to his ability level.” pmschwed@syr.edu | @pschweds

Many Syracuse athletes from 2014-15 went on to play professionally this year. Here’s a list of some of the best.

CHRIS MCCULLOUGH, BROOKLYN NETS

ALEX BONO, TORONTO FC

At Madison Square Garden, McCullough led then-No. 23 SU to a rebound win in the second game of the Coaches vs. Cancer Classic. He scored a career-high 20 points on 7-12 shooting in the 66-63 win over Iowa following a game one loss to California.

Bono’s best moment of a season in which he was the top goalkeeper in the country came in the ACC tournament quarterfinals, when the junior posted his most saves in 13 games (7) in a 2-0 win over Duke.

RAKEEM CHRISTMAS, INDIANA PACERS

RANDY STAATS, ROCHESTER RATTLERS

In a game against lowly Wake Forest, Christmas played his most complete game of his historic senior season. He scored a career-high 35 points, had nine rebounds, two steals and played all 45 minutes in the 86-83 overtime win.

The Orange didn’t trail in a game until their fifth game of the season. It was Staats who pioneered SU’s comeback in a 14-6 win against St. John’s on March 3 by scoring five times, including SU’s first two goals of the game.

SEAN HICKEY, NEW ORLEANS SAINTS

KEVIN RICE, ROCHESTER RATTLERS

Hickey garnered All-ACC Coaches Third Team honors in 2014 and was the only offensive lineman to play in every game last season. The 6-foot-6 offensive lineman served as a team captain last season.

In his final season, Rice – the ACC offensive player of the year – paced the conference in points and assists per game. His outstanding season culminated when Rice scored a career-high nine points in a 20-8 win over Marist in the first round of the NCAA tournament on May 10.

DURELL ESKRIDGE, NEW YORK JETS

LIEKE VISSER, WAGENINGEN (NETHERLANDS)

Playing in the home stadium of his future NFL team, Eskridge recorded a season-high nine tackles against then-No. 8 Notre Dame on Sept. 27, 2014. He also corralled his lone interception of the season against the Fighting Irish, running 29 yards after the catch.

Visser’s postseason goals helped push Syracuse to the national championship game. She scored the game-winner in a 2-1 victory over Boston University in the first round and she scored in the national semifinals against UNC, which Syracuse eventually won.

SKYLAR THOMAS, TORONTO FC

ALLIE LACOMBE, VIENNA SABRES (AUSTRIA)

Thomas had two game-winning goals on the year, but his overtime toe ball against Boston College gave the Orange a dramatic 2-1 victory on senior night. The Pickering, Ontario native started every game he played in.

LaCombe led the nation in faceoff percentage and had an assist in Syracuse’s first-ever win over Mercyhurst in 31 tries on Nov. 8, 2014. LaCombe finished her senior season with 11 assists and 88 shots in 34 games.
