Protesters spend weekend in Crouse-Hinds Hall, continue negotiations

By Justin Mattinglyasst. news editor

Representatives of THE General Body met with senior adminis-trators for three and one-half

hours on Sunday night to further dis-cuss their 45-page list of grievances.

Student protesters from THE General Body, a coalition of more than 50 student organizations at Syracuse University, have camped out in Crouse-Hinds Hall since Nov. 3, when they presented a document of demands and grievances to SU administrators following the Diver-sity and Transparency Rally.

Since Wednesday, the SU admin-

istration has released two responses to THE General Body’s list of griev-ances, students have protested out-side the Sheraton Hotel, a solidarity protest was held prior to the SU football game on Saturday and Uni-versity College Dean Bea González, the liaison between the protesters and Chancellor Kent Syverud, along with other SU administrators have continued to meet with the group.

On Sunday, representatives of the coalition met with González, Vice Chancellor and Provost Eric Spina and Rebecca Reed Kantrowitz, senior vice president and dean of student affairs.

“The meetings have gone pretty well. The administrators have been

pretty open and sort of receptive to what we have to say,” said Colton Jones, one of the protesters. “A few

things are pretty complex and we acknowledge that, but for the most part they’ve been very receptive to the things we’re saying and they

really care about what we’re doing.”In an email sent to the SU commu-

nity Sunday night, the university listed nine actions it’s prepared to take to address THE General Body’s concerns.

“We hope very soon we can move to a new phase in this process, one that is sustainable and can produce positive change over the long term,” said Kevin Quinn, senior vice presi-dent for public affairs in the email.

A meeting between the protesters, González, Spina and Kantrowitz has been scheduled for Monday afternoon. Jones said he hopes Syverud attends.

No. 1 SU shuts out Blue Devils

By Matt Schneidman asst. copy editor

Twenty-five seconds into the game, Duke’s Brody Huitema headed the ball off the crossbar.

Syracuse goalkeeper Alex Bono was frozen in place and the Orange was

on its heels before it could even

get possession of the ball.“We looked like we were a bit

nervy that first five minutes,” head coach Ian McIntyre said.

But the nerves subsided and SU responded with two first-half goals, one from forward Alex Halis and one from midfielder Nick Perea, to jump out to a two-goal lead before the break. The early cushion paced No. 1 Syracuse (15-2-1, 5-2-1 Atlantic Coast) to a 2-0 win over seventh-seeded Duke (9-9-1, 4-4) in the ACC tournament quarterfinals in front of a program record 2,533 fans at SU Soccer Stadium on Sunday afternoon.

“It really forced them to kind of change the way they wanted to play,” McIntyre said of putting the Blue Devils in an early hole. “They had to meet us a little higher up.”

The early blitzkrieg may not have been possible, though, if it weren’t for McIntyre inserting Halis into the starting lineup for only the second time this season, and not starting forward Emil Ekblom for the first time in his 36-game career.

Halis verified McIntyre’s decision by winning a 50-50 ball off mid-fielder Julian Buescher’s cross at the edge of the 6-yard box less than 10 minutes in. The sophomore toed the ball over Duke goalkeeper Wilson Fisher and into the top of the net to give the hosts a 1-0 lead.

To Scott Kevy, sports can be used for good. It can bring a people in a community together.

Kevy, a senior sports manage-ment major, received the Michigan Sports Business Conference’s BIG Initiative Award on Oct. 24. The award recognizes 10 students in the U.S. and Canada who have made a difference in the sports industry.

Kevy has interned at Turner Sports and at Monumental Sports & Entertainment. He’s also the market-ing chair of the Syracuse University Sports Management Club and is a dig-ital media intern with SU Athletics.

He said he believes his involve-ment and hard work with these organizations is what helped him to win the award.

“I also went far and beyond what was expected,” Kevy said. “I didn’t just want to get the task done. I wanted to get the task done while making my mark.”

Kevy, who has always been an avid sports fan and an athlete, said sports and sports management are extremely important to him and play big roles in his life.

“Sports reach everyone on a whole unlike anything else in the world,” Kevy said.

The senior was interested in becoming an intern at SU athletics specifically because he wanted to take what he learned in the class-room to the field. He wanted to use the skills he learned from his information management and tech-nology minor and combine them with his knowledge from his sports management major.

Kevy’s advice to other students

who are interested in pursuing sports management as a career is to utilize all of the university’s resources it offers to students.

“Be sure to step outside your comfort zone and to take advan-tage of all the opportunities on and off campus that your programs offer,” Kevy said. “I wouldn’t have been able to make it to where I am today if it wasn’t for the whole Syracuse family that is willing to help you.”

The Syracuse Tech Garden hosted a 24-hour civic hackathon and food and clothing drive this weekend to fight hunger and homelessness.

The Hack Hunger and Homeless-ness hackathon was also a partner in a virtual hackathon sponsored by AT&T as a part of its Central New York Civic App Challenge, which started Sept. 11 and will end Tuesday. At this hackathon and others, students and community members attempted to brainstorm and

code an app to help fight hunger and homelessness in 24 hours.

The winning team received $1,000 from the Tech Garden to continue to develop its project. The project could also win $7,500 if submitted to AT&T. The winner of the hackathon was Txt2Eat, a mobile app that sends information to a cell phone about food you can eat now if you are hungry, or when you can pick up food if you’re a food pantry or shelter.

The hackathon also featured a panel of community members who work to fight or raise awareness about

homelessness and hunger. Some of the panelists had actually experi-enced homelessness and were hoping

to change the assumptions about it.Tom Hart, a web application

developer at Terakeet, a web develop-ment company, and a participant in previous Tech Garden hackathons, helped to organize this weekend’s hackathon. This was Hart’s fourth hackathon. Hart, who was homeless from 2002–05, came specifically hoping to change the perception of homelessness and who it can affect.

“This is about raising awareness as well as finding solutions. The experi-ence of being homeless is incredibly misunderstood. I was young, I came from a good home, I was well educated

Blackboard to partner with Chegg, offer tutoringBy Claire Moranstaff writer

Blackboard and Chegg, two compa-nies that offer separate academic resources, are partnering to offer tutoring services starting in 2015.

About half of all college students use Blackboard and a different half use Chegg, said Usher Lieberman, vice president of communications for Chegg. Now, the two companies are partnering to help reach more

students and close the gap.“Both companies are very alive

among student outcomes and improving the overall experience for students and helping them per-sist in their course work, do better in class, graduate at a higher rate. So we were able to find a lot of common ground between the companies,” Lieberman said.

Starting in 2015, students will be able to subscribe to Chegg Study, Chegg Tutors and Chegg Career Cen-

ter programs through the Blackboard interface. Chegg Study offers solu-tions to challenging math and science homework problems. Chegg Tutors allows students to connect with an online tutor for 40 cents per minute. Chegg Career Center helps students learn how to apply their education and skills to the job market. The Wall Street Journal reported that the deal is currently set for three years, but that it is renewable.

“Together, we are working

towards a goal shared by students, institutions, faculty, Blackboard and Chegg: better outcomes and higher graduation rates,” said Jim Hermens, vice president of content partnerships at Blackboard, in a press release.

Sophomore public relations major Lexie Slavin thinks that the partnership will make it easier for students to access Chegg’s services. Slavin said the new partnership

seventeen burglaries reported in university neigHborHood dur-ing last two weeks

Sgt. Gary Bulinski, a Syracuse police spokesman, said the burglaries have usually happened at night when peo-ple are sleeping in their homes. They then wake up the next morning and report that items including TVs and computers are gone.

Off the top of his head, he said, three involved Syracuse University students. Many of the burglaries have happened around Thornden Park and the surrounding area.

Criminals will often pass infor-mation along that doors are usually unlocked in certain neighborhoods, he said. There have been no signs of “forced entry” with the burglaries.

Bulinski said he did not know if any arrests have been made in con-nection to the burglaries. Since last year, there has been a 24 percent drop in these crimes across the city.

and went to a good school,” Hart said. “Up to that point, nothing would lead you to believe that I could end up in that situation. If it can happen to me, it can happen to anybody.”

Marcene Sonneborn, a professor in Syra-cuse University’s School of Information Stud-ies and small business innovation research specialist for the Central New York Technology Development Organization, had participated in hackathons before but had never pitched an idea until this weekend.

“I decided this time I wanted to pitch because I would like to think about how can we become more aware of what’s going on,” she said. “Homeless people have histories and really interesting stories behind them.”

The hackathon also attracted a number of students, programmers and non-programmers alike. Irfan Uraizee, a senior broadcast and digital journalism major at SU, came for his first hackathon to try and make a difference in the community.

“I thought to myself how can I apply my skills to something that would improve the Syracuse area?” he said. “I don’t know what to expect, but

I’m excited to work with so many talented hackers and journalists to see what we can come up with to alleviate homelessness and poverty in our area.”

Tony Kershaw, the innovation specialist for Centerstate CEO at the Tech Garden and an organizer of the hackathon, said he hoped that

this hackathon would be a first step in learning how to leverage technology to target specific community problems to create lasting impact.

“We want to build solutions that have last-ing impact, not just cool technology that does stuff. We want things that people value,” Ker-shaw said. “This is not about us, it’s about us giving back and leveraging what we know how to do to benefit the community.”

Sixty people registered for this hackathon, but the turnout was not as important as cre-ating a dialogue and raising awareness for everyone involved, he said.

“We set reasonable expectations for the turn-out and that’s totally fine,” Kershaw said. “But folks are talking about what this could be in the future and it has really facilitated new con-nections and relationships outside of the event. Regardless of the turnout, stuff is happening.”

He threw his hands up in the air and ran to the student section behind the goal, hugging a fan before celebrating with his teammates.

“I can’t explain the feeling,” Halis said. “It was good to get that off my back. I know I said that earlier in the season, but postseason, it felt good.”

The Orange continued to pepper Fisher throughout the half, as midfielder Liam Cal-lahan, forward Chris Nanco and Halis were all denied chances from point-blank range.

The mass of SU students behind the goal repeat-edly gasped, but it didn’t materialize into an all-out celebration as the Orange couldn’t break through. McIntyre said that on a different day, it could’ve been a “3” or a “4” on the SU scoreboard with the amount of chances his side had in the first half.

But with just less than 13 minutes left in the half, the hosts padded their lead after midfielder Oyvind

Alseth curled a high cross from in front of the Duke bench. It met the foot of Callahan beyond the left post on the goal line, and he one-timed a cross to a wide-open Perea, who volleyed it home from the doorstep to give the hosts insurance.

“You get a rush,” Perea said of scoring in front of a record crowd.

As the Orange has repeatedly done with one- and two-goal leads all year, it buckled down. Bono and the back three were a brick wall throughout the entirety of the second half to secure the team’s first postseason win in almost two years.

And while Duke senior Matt Slotnick cried in his teammates’ arms after the buzzer sounded, the Syracuse bench poured onto the field and will get a chance at revenge against sixth-seeded Louisville in Cary, North Caro-lina next Friday.

Said Halis after the game: “I have goose-bumps right now.”

would be convenient for students since most of them are already using Blackboard for classes.

Sophomore accounting major Cynthia Poir-ier said the partnership could make it more convenient for students whose schedules often make it difficult to attend office hours.

“I definitely think it would be a really great tool for us because sometimes I feel like we might not have time to go talk to a professor or TA about a certain problem,” Poirier said.

Lieberman said Chegg’s products have been very successful and popular among students so far. He said a survey that Chegg conducted

found that 87 percent of Chegg Study users have reported that its services are helpful for them and that about half of the people who try the program sign up for a subscription to the paid service.

According to a press release on the Chegg Investor Relations website, Chegg had 15 mil-lion students in its “network,” but not all of these students use tools like Chegg Study. Lie-berman hopes that this partnership will help make Chegg’s services more visible to students.

“If we can put our product in front of more students, we can help more students,” Lieber-man said. “We think that if we can get students to try the product, they’ll see the value in it and will be interested in subscribing to it.”

THE General Body activists currently occu-pying Crouse-Hinds Hall do not represent Syracuse University students. The activists delivered a lengthy list of demands devoid of diverse student input to university leadership.

The activists in Crouse-Hinds represent just one opinion of the many opinions held by SU students. They are a special interest group with their own predefined agenda that not all students support. Despite their #WeAreSU hashtag, they are not SU.

The SU students among THE General Body have appropriated the privilege of representing all SU students that does not belong to them

alone. The outside activists among THE Gener-al Body have taken the privilege of representing SU students that does not belong to them at all.

THE General Body does not speak for all of us. There are undergraduate and graduate stu-dents who do not align with THE General Body activists’ tactics or demands. It is important that THE General Body activists do not drown out the voices of the whole student body with brute force.

The proposed vision and mission statements by The Strategic Plan Steering Committee are a refreshing improvement. The statements recast the University as “student-focused” and

as an institution known for “academic rigor” with “a spirit of discovery.” Indeed, these statements make SU sound like a great place to learn, collaborate and earn degrees.

The Steering Committee’s choice to not include the term “diversity” in the proposed statements sparked criticism from THE Gen-eral Body activists, who allege that this reveals a ploy to marginalize people of a different skin color than Chancellor Kent Syverud.

The activists fail to support this serious and severe accusation.

The new vision and mission statements focus on attracting the best scholars to a

great school. Diversity needs no support beyond an admission process that considers ability to occur at a school with SU’s size and name recognition.

The search for excellence does not exclude any skin color, or degree of wealth or poverty. Top scholars may be found among the world’s rich and poor, from every continent and every heritage. The proposed vision and mission statements are compatible with diversity. When recruiting for excellence, diversity will certainly result.

letter to the editor

THE General Body’s demands, actions do not represent all students

I write this letter from the uncomfortable brick floor of Crouse-Hinds Hall, as the class-rooms that we normally have access to have been locked to those of us sitting-in here.

The locked classrooms are just one example of how the administration has misdirected their energy in so-called efforts to end the sit-in that has been occurring at Crouse-Hinds Hall since the Rally for Diversity and Transparency on Monday. The rally and the sit-in are meant to highlight the numerous basic needs and ser-vices that are not provided for students. These include adequate mental health care and sexual assault response, which are necessary on a college campus. The university has appointed

Bea Gonzalez, dean of University College, to facilitate negotiations between our group and the administration. We are open and willing to have these negotiations.

Yet, we are constantly reminded that the administration is unhappy with us for voicing our concerns in this manner. A heavy DPS presence in the one space in which we are allowed to remain makes us uncomfortable and unsafe; these officers have been using intimidation tactics and randomly enforcing arbitrary rules, lest we forget their power over us. This effort spent terrorizing us could instead be directed towards collaboration on achieving the end of the sit-in.

In their attempt to paint us as nothing but disruptive students, the administra-tion’s news updates contain inflammatory language that is meant to make us seem uncooperative. They are in fact the uncoop-erative party. This first became evident when Gonzalez offered to grant only three minor demands contingent on the end of the sit-in. It is becoming apparent that the adminis-tration is prolonging the sit-in by refusing to have action-based discussions that move towards an agreeable solution for both par-ties. Instead, they focus their efforts on scare tactics, attempting to drive us out so that they will not need to concede anything.

They ought to realize the incredible intelli-gence and passion of this group. We are not dis-ruptive. We are Coronat Scholars, Remembrance Scholars, honors students and presidents of stu-dent organizations. Our passion for our studies, our University and our fellow students, drives our passion for this sit-in. We recognize the importance of these issues and will not concede our space until we achieve significant progress. We are not here for comfort; rather, we are here to improve the university that we love.

Class of 2015Member of THE General Body


Administration attempts to undermine cause, intimidate students

I want to begin by expressing my strong support for the goals of THE General Body. I believe they are advocating for programs and policies that speak to the strongest ideals of a univer-sity. I hope the university community will join them in their efforts.

I want to address, however, one specific criticism that has been made against THE General Body. In reading responses to the deci-sion by the students involved to stage a sit-in at Crouse-Hinds, I have repeatedly found that their actions are portrayed as immature and outside the norm of civil debate. As such, their actions are somehow insulting to the traditions of Syracuse University.

Clearly one of the goals of a university education is to learn how to effectively engage in civil debate. And when all parties are seen as equal, when there is a deliberative space that allows all concerns to be spoken, civil debate should be the primary engine of social change.

The history of the United States, however, consistently demonstrates that such open deliberative space is not always present. At such moments, uncivil actions are staged to punc-ture through a seeming consensus to provide an avenue for the excluded to have a platform to be heard. To this end, sit-ins, protests and boycotts have been used by progressives, con-servatives, students, professors, community

members and others to demonstrate how the “civil” is actually “uncivil” to those on the outside of power.

The actions of THE General Body, to me, represent an important blending of these “civil” and “uncivil” ways of speaking, demonstrating lessons learned on campus and within the larg-er history in which they occur.

THE General Body has written letters and petitions stating their beliefs, spoken effective-ly — and civilly— to campus administrators. They have also protested on campus, sponsored rallies and now staged a sit-in. And as a result, the university administration, the student body and the larger Syracuse community are now

involved in an engaged discussion of how to respond to legitimate concerns.

To me, their actions are not immature, but part of a historical legacy which speaks to the best values of the university and our larger democratic culture.

Many may disagree with THE General Body’s particular goals, their values, but any-one interested in a vibrant democratic culture on campus would do well to study the effective-ness of their actions.

Professor addresses criticisms directed toward THE General Body

I think it is time that men started acting like men by supporting women.

I have a mom who decided to sacrifice a career and instead, spend her time watching my siblings and I play sports (through all my strikeouts in baseball) in addition to patiently helping me through my homework, all while raising us. Quite frankly, I wouldn’t be nearly as functional today if my mother didn’t spend the time she did teaching me right from wrong and helping me get through my toughest times and being there for me when I needed it most. Unfortunately, however, it seems as though our

society forgets that women often don’t enjoy the same opportunities as men. As someone who’s interested in politics, I have noticed a common trend: lack of women involved. I found that overall there are only 79 women in the House of Representatives and 20 in the Senate. That means that roughly 18 per-cent of all U.S representatives are women and 20 percent of senators are women. That is shocking considering around 50 percent of the population of the U.S. is women.

We pride ourselves as a nation that gives equal opportunities for everyone yet we have

never elected a woman president or in the cur-rent Congress has any woman held any major political role. Sure Nancy Pelosi was Speaker of the House in the past and Hillary Clinton was Secretary of State, but it shouldn’t be an anomaly a woman held those roles, it should be normal.

That is why I am also writing today to support the “Elect Her” program coming up on Nov. 15. I think that “Elect Her” can empower women to run for office and help make Congress more representative of the demographics of the U.S. I also urge fellow male students to show up

to “Elect Her” to show that this isn’t just a prob-lem for women — it is a problem for everyone. Students should think long and hard about the role a woman might’ve played in their life and consider showing up to “Elect Her,” maybe not for themselves, but for that woman in their lives. I know I will be there. It is the least I can do to repay the sacrifices my mom for the long hours spent driving me to all my sports activities and being there for me when I need it the most.

As the risks of tanning are well known, University Village Apart-ments should rethink offering it as an amenity for its residents.

Those who use tanning beds once a month before the age of 35 increase the chance for melanoma risk by 75 percent, according to the Melanoma Foundation New England.

UV allows residents to use the tanning dome one time a day, requir-ing that they sign a waiver.

Students who live at UV and want to tan have every right to do so. And UV does not have an obligation to stop offering tanning in its buildings. But by including it as an amenity, it forces residents to fund something that is harmful to students. The other amenities UV offers — such as a fitness center, laundry and wi-fi — do not create a proven threat to students’ health.

Including tanning as an amenity is unfair to the students who don’t want to enable their peers to tan or who simply don’t ever use the service. Though some students may never use the fitness center, their money does not sponsor a dangerous habit for other students.

It’s similar to if cigarettes were offered as an amenity. There is no law that prohibits smoking over the age of 18, but cigarettes are expen-sive and heavily taxed. Though many students may smoke, students who do not smoke do not finance their colleagues’ habits.

Instead of including tanning as an amenity, residents who want to use the tanning service should have to pay a membership fee in order to access it and that should be factored out of other resident’s rent.

It’s not UV’s place to tell students

what they should or shouldn’t do with their bodies. But at the same time, it should realize the harm it does in offering tanning as an amen-ity. If UV doesn’t want to get rid of its tanning dome, it should change its policy to offer tanning services only to residents who are interested in paying for it.

until Valentine’s Day for that mess. This time instead of “Twilight” fan fiction — which “Fifty Shades of Grey” was derived from — One Direction fan fiction is making it big time.

“After” is the first installment in the four part series of erotic fan fic-tion that is now on the shelves, with the second book coming out Nov. 25. The series is being published through Simon & Schuster. The author, Anna Todd, has a six-figure deal and Paramount Pictures has already bought the movie rights.

Fan fiction might not comply with conventional ideals of estab-lished creative outlets, but it has a strong and growing audience. Fan

fiction is on its way to becoming a lucrative franchise and cannot be written off as just a perverse online hobby.

Fan fiction is often based on books, TV shows, movies and celebrities. It gives fans a chance to re-imagine their favorite stars and characters in an alternate reality. None of Todd’s characters are insanely famous boy band stars — they’re just based on their images. In Todd’s original online version, 18-year-old Tessa falls in love with tattooed bad boy Harry Styles during her freshman year at

college. The other members of One Direction are in the book, too. Most are secondary character fraternity brothers but “Daddy Direction,” Liam Payne, appears as Tessa’s clean-cut best friend.

Fan fiction gives One Direc-tion’s legions of fans the outlet to imagine themselves as their crush’s love interest. It gives the readers a sense of intimacy and connection with the stars who will never know they exist.

“After” may be a book for teen girls who are infatuated with Harry Styles, but that doesn’t make it any less legitimate of a business. While “After” is being sold in major book-stores, it is also still available for free on Wattpad, a site that prides itself as an online community of readers and writers sharing their

work for free. Though fans can still access the book for free, they are choosing to pay for content they’ve already had despite the fact that the published version doesn’t offer much more than what’s online.

Even though Todd had to change the band member’s names for copy-right reasons — Harry Styles is now Hardin Scott — it was a small price to pay for fans eager to see the book in perfect condition. The typos and plot redundancies are cleaned up and a few sex scenes are elongated. The books are flying off the shelves and presales for the second novel are already high.

Todd didn’t set out originally to make a profit. She wrote because she was a fan herself. She is a 25-year-old first time writer based out of Texas who began writing

“After” through daily chapter installments on Wattpad. Todd would spend five hours a day writing “After” and the subsequent three hours interacting with her readers on social media. Todd has more than 200,000 twitter follow-ers and unprecedented access to her audience.

“After” may not be a work of art, but just as with all things, there is good and bad fan fiction. The majority of it probably won’t make it to bookstores, but this is just the beginning for online fan fiction as a successful print product.

on Wednesday night when he, along with Gon-zalez, talked about certain parts of the group’s list of grievances.

One of the issues discussed during the Wednes-day meeting was postponing the Board of Trust-ees’ vote on SU’s new mission and vision state-ment. The board met on Thursday and Friday and approved the draft form of the statements.

On Thursday night, the SU administration released its response to some of the demands made by THE General Body. In its response, the administration addressed issues that were dis-cussed during Wednesday’s meeting, including the closing of the Advocacy Center and more transparency in the decision-making process.

In the same response, González also offered the several items to THE General Body if the group agreed to leave Crouse-Hinds by Fri-day. The items included the Board of Trustees delaying a decision on the university’s mission and vision statement, a meeting with the board, a non-retaliation/student judicial violations commitment, a meeting with Spina and Kan-trowitz and a promise to begin the search for an Americans with Disabilities Act coordinator.

THE General Body put out a release Friday that said the administration’s response was not adequate. The release said neither the email from González nor the response “address the full scope of the concerns of THE General Body, and fail to adequately respond to urgent student needs.”

On Friday morning, protesters stood out-side the Sheraton Syracuse University Hotel and Conference Center, where the Board of Trustees was scheduled to meet.

Doors to Crouse-Hinds locked at 5 p.m. on Friday, when it normally closes, and protesters remained inside. Food was dropped off twice a day over the weekend at designated drop off times.

On Friday night, the administration released a second response to THE General Body’s demands. In the response, SU said it was disappointing progress had not been made in the negotiations despite “real dialogue” and the administration’s “movement on a number of issues.”

The second response addressed concerns over the mission and vision statement, changes to the POSSE programs and problems with workgroups and committees, among others.

On Saturday, prior to the SU football game, pro-testers from THE General Body chanted outside Crouse-Hinds in solidarity with protesters inside.

A change.org petition titled “We Stand with

THE General Body” has received 670 supporters as of 9:30 p.m. Sunday out of a 5,000-person goal. Crouse-Hinds will open at 7 a.m. on Monday.

“Hopefully we can have the meeting tomor-row and go through the document and go from

there,” Jones said. “I think morale is up. You know we’re all pretty tired and we hope this will end soon, but we don’t want to leave this place unless we all come to a compromise.”

To honor the men and women who have served in the United States armed ser-vices this Veterans Day, Syracuse Uni-

versity’s lead choir will perform at an annual ceremony in Hendricks Chapel dedicated to this country’s heroes.

At the Veterans Day ceremony, the Uni-versity Singers, which consists of 30–40 stu-dents, will perform an arrangement of “Amaz-ing Grace,” “America the Beautiful” and the national anthem sung by senior Jaclyn Clark, said Abigail Brockamp, a sophomore vocal per-formance major and member of University Singers. The ceremony will take place Tuesday at 11 a.m. in Hendricks Chapel.

University Singers, which many say is the best and most selective choir at SU, selects its choir members through auditions that students in the Setnor School of Music must complete each year, said David Weber, a sophomore music industry major and mem-ber of the choir.

Weber said Tuesday’s ceremony is an opportunity to celebrate the day and honor the men and women who have served, and the event is taken very seriously, as many members of the armed forces, both current and veterans, will be in attendance. It also gives every member an opportunity to honor veterans and reflect on personal stories of loved ones that have served, he said.

For all involved, the Veterans Day ceremony is a very humbling, eye-opening experience. Being able to see men and women in uniform while performing sheds a new light on the meaning of the pieces, said University Singers member Dajon James, a senior who has been involved with the group since his sophomore year. Overall, it creates a great connection with one’s country, and it is not just a happy or sad experience. The entire ceremony is very emotional and powerful, James said.

Because the Veterans Day event is annual, many of the logistics behind its planning are already sorted out, and preparation for the ceremony tends to revolve around making sure the singers are ready to perform. Mem-bers of the choir take themselves as being

a part of such a group very seriously. They also take the title of being the best choir at

SU seriously, and they are always striving to keep that title and become an even better group, Weber said.

“To me, it ’s kind of like a family in the

music school because we all want the same thing,” he said, emphasizing that members of the group all have the desire to improve their skills in an environment such as Uni-versity Singers.

Other events that University Singers will be participating in over the rest of the academic year include its fall concert on Wednesday, “Holidays at Hendricks,” which is an annual event that showcases various musical groups on campus, and a trip to France directly after graduation, Brockamp said.

In the past, the choir has always made a tour outside of the Syracuse area once a year, but the trip to France in 2015 is special because the group hasn’t had the opportunity to travel abroad before, Weber

said. The Setnor School has connections in Strasbourg, and an anonymous donor to the school provided the funds that are allowing University Singers the opportunity to tour abroad. While in France, University Singers will have the opportunity to sing and enter a competition at the National Conservatory of Strasbourg, Weber added.

In the past few months, the choir has toured in Baltimore, attended the American Choral Directors Association and participated in other concerts, including the choir sampler over parent’s weekend, said Weber.

Said Brockamp: “I really like the fact that it is a very professional choir, but it still has warmth and is full of great relationships.”

As New York state begins to implement stricter texting while driving laws, some students at Syracuse University think the laws are needed to deter drivers from the dangerous habit.

On Nov. 1, stricter laws against texting or talking on the phone while driving were implemented in New York. Although texting or talking while driving was already illegal, the new law — which was passed by the state legislature and included in the budget for the 2014–15 fiscal year — increases the penalties and fines for drivers caught either texting or talking and driving, according to the New York State Department of Trans-portation’s website.

Lewis Paulino, a junior biology and neuro-science major, agrees that supervision from the state and from law enforcement over this issue is important because of the risk it poses to not only the person driving, but to others on the road.

“Driving takes a lot of focus, no matter how much experience you have. So I think when your attention is divided, it increases the risk

of getting into a car accident and possibly harming you or someone else,” Paulino said. “I think it should be very regulated.”

For a first offense, drivers under 21 with a probationary license or learner’s permit will automatically have their license or permit sus-pended for 120 days. The fine will also increase

$50, regardless of age, from a maximum of $150 to $200, according to the New York State Department of Transportation’s website.

A second offense committed within six months will result in a complete license or permit suspension for at least one year. The maximum fine also increases to $250. A third offense brings the maximum fine up to $450.

Arielle Pressman, a junior biochemistry major, thinks the heightened penalties and fines are appropriate and in accordance to the seriousness of the crime.

“Texting while driving is a really serious issue and it’s just as bad as driving while intox-icated,” Pressman said. “The same measures taken against driving while intoxicated should be taken against texting while driving.”

Previously, an offense of this kind added three driver violation points to those caught texting or talking while driving. The Driver Violation Point System assigns point values for different traffic violations, such as speeding or failing to obey a traffic sign.

Once a license carries 11 or more points within an 18-month period, that license is sus-pended. Now, the penalty is worth five driver violation points for texting or talking while driving, which is the one of the highest point values assigned, according to the New York State Department of Motor Vehicles.

While the measures are targeted at younger drivers, since the first offense of license sus-pension only applies to drivers under 21, Press-man disagrees with the notion that only young people text and drive.

“I think people of all ages are capable of doing it,” Pressman added.

The ubiquitous nature of technolog y

also disqualifies the idea that only young people have the capabilit y to tex t a nd drive, said Paulino.

“ With everyone using technology, the increased penalty for minors seems a little unfair,” said Paulino. “W hy just minors? Why not just suspend everyone’s license for 120 days?”

W alking from the Martin J. Whitman School of Management to Grant Auditorium in a span of 10 minutes was painful for Kyle Barnett.

“People would see me walking to class and one of my legs would be giving out,” said Barnett, a sophomore finance and marketing double major. “I’d be falling over, falling down stairs and all.”

Electric shocks, which Barnett began feeling through his legs this July, were side effects of thoracic disk herniations in his spine, causing him to have intense pain in his back and legs. As a result, Barnett will need a thoracoscopic surgery to remove the herniations, which are rup-tured disks that sit heavily on his spinal cord.

In an effort to help fund his surgery, Barnett began a campaign on GoFundMe on Nov. 2, a crowdsourcing website that allows groups and individuals to fundraise for any personal or organizational cause.

Barnett’s page went viral. In just one week, he received over $25,000 in donations from more than 300 people. As of Sunday night at 10 p.m., Barnett had raised $25, 470.

“It’s really empowering to know that my story has affected so many people that they would just give me money like that,” Barnett said.

Before coming to school, a doctor in Connecticut initially told Barnett he had sciatica, which involves numbness or tingling in his legs. After Barnett returned to Syracuse University this semester, a cervical MRI done by a second doctor showed some wear and tear that football players can get, as Barnett played football all four years of high school.

But the MRI also showed a minor disk bulge near the thoracic region. The rarity of thoracic herniations prompted the second doctor to approve Barnett for a thoracic MRI two days later. That MRI showed that Barnett had not one, but seven calcified herniations, which means he had them for over a year.

Barnett is currently in his hometown of Wilton, Connecticut, where

he is waiting to hear back from specialists about his condition. He can walk, but doctors advised him not to do anything physically strenuous because an accident could potentially paralyze him.

The idea to start the GoFundMe page came from one of Barnett’s high school friends who thought that people would be willing to donate their money to him. Realizing that requiring the work of specialists might be pretty expensive, Barnett decided the next day to “just go for it.”

“Anything to help the financial burden,” Barnett said. Susan Barnett said her son surprised her and her husband when he

told them about the fundraising campaign. She had no idea and was humbled by Barnett’s initiative, as well as the attention the campaign

Bakery to offer new promotion

By Renee Cherrystaff writer

The Thundercakes menu is about to get even sweeter.

Thundercakes, a delivery-only dessert business, will reopen and start a promotion called the Thunder-ous 5 on Tuesday. Five selected des-serts will be available for same-day delivery, rather than the usual two to three day delivery time.

The Thunderous 5 promotion will continue all year and rotate flavors seasonally. During the first week of each new rotation, each dessert will be 15 percent off. The first rotation will include gold ganache cake, choco-late pecan turtle cookies, maple bacon cinnamon rolls, Georgia, Honey! cup-cakes and chai tea cupcakes.

Courtnee Futch, a senior commu-nication and rhetorical studies major and CEO of Thundercakes, said that with the Thunderous 5 promotion, she hopes to reach out to impulse buyers. When customers think of something they want to eat, they don’t want to wait, she said.

“This is people having the abil-ity to place their order by 2 p.m. and receive it no later than 7 (p.m.) on the same day, which is definitely unheard of,” Futch said.

Futch started Thundercakes from her dorm room three years ago. She sold baked goods to other students because she was low on money. Now, she has a bakery space and a trained staff that fulfills 70–80 orders a week.

Thundercakes will start same-day delivery for five menu items on Tuesday


The amount of support Futch has received from her customers came as somewhat of a surprise, and she said she has a plan for her business to further expand, possibly through a location on Marshall Street.

“I don’t think I was expecting for people to be as willing to share my dream with me,” she said.

From sweet potato cheesecake to chocolate covered potato chip cupcakes, the menu con-tains flavors that customers wouldn’t normally find in other bakeries. Futch said her mantra is that each item is made “with love and butter.”

Futch predicts that of the first set of Thun-derous 5, the chai tea cupcakes will be the most popular because they have always been a bestseller since added to the original menu. The cupcakes are infused with spiced chai tea reduction, iced with salted caramel icing and sprinkled with cinnamon cayenne sugar.

When coming up with new flavors, Futch likes to add her own twist to trendy desserts. She is in the process of coming up with her own take on the “cronut,” a cross between a crois-sant and a donut. She also likes unexpected pairings, such as pumpkin with salted caramel.

A self-proclaimed “go with the flow type,” Futch said she is experimental when it comes

to making additions to Thundercakes’ menu.“Whenever I think of something new, I kind

of just put it on the menu and wait for some-body to order it, then I just kind of go in the kitchen and play around with it,” Futch said.

Previous Thundercakes promotions have played a part in the business’s success, said Gabriela Carrero, a senior international rela-tions major and friend of Futch.

“She is very successful when she does her pro-motions.” Carrero said. “Even when she started I remember it was her promoting her baked goods as, ‘I know you’re tired of studying right now and you need that little pick me up.’ That’s what she did freshman year in the dorms, and a lot of people obviously went and bought her stuff.”

Carrero finds Thundercakes marketing hard to resist, especially the pictures that are posted on Instagram, and said one reason is because the Thundercakes desserts are deliciously indulgent.

Futch’s combination of baking skills, creativ-ity and business savvy have allowed her busi-ness to grow, Carrero added. Even through her successes, Futch is always looking to improve.

“She just has the whole package — she really does,” Carrero said. “And she understands that she has a long way to go, and she understands that she can only get better at anything else she does. But that’s also what helps her, because she’s always striving to do better.”

has received. It’s a “beautiful thing” that her son has touched so many lives, she said.

“It’s heartwarming to see that so many peo-ple, even people that don’t even know him, are such generous, giving people,” Susan Barnett said. “It gives you hope, and we are just so grate-ful because we don’t know how much in the end this is going to be. It’s absolutely a blessing.”

Barnett has already seen two neurosur-geons about his rare condition, but has no set date on when he will be receiving the surgery. He hopes to have the surgery done before finals and has been emailing his teachers to keep up with his schoolwork.

Barnett’s father, Mike Barnett, said even though his son has seen two neurosurgeons, all they’ve done is refer him to other people and places.

He added that his family needs someone to give them “a plan of action” and tell them a realistic amount of how much the surgery will cost. He said he has heard of figures rang-ing anywhere between $150,000 to $500,000.

The process of finding the right doctor for Barnett is taking longer than his father thought. Mike Barnett said the fact that they have not been able to get the surgery set up has been frustrating.

“It’s all hard because we’re not used to feeling so helpless,” Mike Barnett said.

For Emilie Ricco, Barnett’s girlfriend, find-ing out about Barnett’s situation was scary, but she said she wanted to remain strong for him.

“I wanted to just be positive and keep hope and faith alive in telling him that everything was going to work out and that he has an amazing family to help him and so many peo-ple out there that care for him,” said Ricco, a sophomore child and family studies major.

For Susan Barnett, it’s hard to see her son in pain.

Barnett’s situation has consumed their daily lives, and his mother said all she wants is for him to be seen by the proper doctors.

“Watching your son hurting more and more — it’s unbelievable as a parent just to try and keep it together and try to be as calm as possible,” Susan Barnett said. “Normally I’m very good at that because I have a lot of faith, and I know that God’s going to provide the right doctor for him and that everything’s going to be fine.”

Topshop has officially entered Midtown Manhattan’s retail heaven with a four-level American flagship on Fifth

Avenue and 49th Street. The flagship store is a showcase for the

brand. Unlike other stores within the chain, the purpose of a flagship is to do more than generate a profit. Its particular job is to draw attention to the brand, broadcast its brand sta-tus and mark itself out against its competitors.

Topshop is a very influential brand on top of being exceptionally chic. Endorsed and rep-resented by top models like Cara Delevingne and Kate Moss, the fan base and consumer base keep growing exponentially, according to Wom-en’s Wear Daily. It’s the only high-end “street brand” to show a collection at London Fashion Week, making it even more of an outlier within the fashion industry. Bringing this influence across the pond — specifically to Fifth Avenue, one of America’s most famous streets — will enhance American fashion and make it avail-able to a wider variety of shoppers.

At 40,000 square feet, the Fifth Avenue location is the second-largest Topshop store in the world. The largest is its London flagship in Oxford Circus. The retailer’s SoHo location in New York City has always been a large draw for tourists, but the new Fifth Avenue presence is sure to go above and beyond, attracting people with an even more disposable income. After all, Fifth Avenue is the big league of retail.

The retailer brings a European aesthetic to the U.S. clothing market with its New York City flagship and will attract a whole new demographic to the store. The brand manu-factures clothes, shoes, handbags, cosmetics and outerwear. Topshop offers a variety of, well, everything for men and women of many backgrounds and style preferences.

According to Women’s Wear Daily, the

Oxford Circus location generates $250 million in revenues annually, and the Fifth Avenue store — with 33,000 square feet of selling space, which is about one-third of the London flagship — should hit at least $80 million in sales because it is in one of the world’s most sought after retail districts.

Topshop came to New York City with big ambi-tions. In the years following the 2009 SoHo loca-tion opening, there has been a rise in the profile of fast fashion stores that sell on-trend clothing to a younger audience at affordable prices. Though the Topshop stock is replenished with super fast fash-ion speed, it occupies a middle ground between fast fashion and the kind of designer goods sold at Saks across the street. The store offers a range of merchandise from $50 to $500.

Taking a trip to Topshop while you’re in the city is something every shopper has to do. I remember the first time I dragged my mom in after reading about the brand in Teen Vogue, and we were mesmerized. It was laid out differently than any other fast fashion store we

had been to, like H&M or Forever 21. You could tell there was a foreign influence, which made everything seem more appealing.

The conversation centered on Topshop is certainly growing as more Americans famil-iarize themselves with the brand, as well as the foreign aesthetic it has been bringing to the U.S. since 2009 in cities around the coun-try, and not just New York.

It’s important for Topshop to expand its name and style on Fifth Avenue. It’s a premiere shopping site and the first thing on many fashion-conscious tourists’ lists of things to do in New York. It’s at the center of Manhattan and no other street in the city has as much fame and story-telling centered on it.

The flagship store will attract a whole new segment of shoppers, and on Fifth Avenue it may even attach a stigma of sophistication and chic-ness with the mention of the word “Topshop.”

A local bar is a gathering spot where everyone shares some laughs, has a few drinks and eats great food. It’s a

place for football games to be viewed and live music to be enjoyed. Syracuse’s local watering hole is Limp Lizard Bar & Grill, which has the added bonus of serving incredible barbecue.

A tiny green shack with rounded windows in the front, Limp Lizard Bar & Grill doesn’t call much attention to itself. Inside, a hand drawn mural that spans nearly the length of the restau-rant features lizards, a desert highway and a sto-ryline that’s hard to follow. It’s an appropriately fun setting for really great barbecue.

Limp Lizard Bar & Grill has an extensive menu featuring a variety of appetizers, sandwiches, wraps, burgers, soups and, of course, barbecue. I

ended up ordering pizza nachos, barbecue brisket Rueben and a Carolina pork sandwich.

There were also a bunch of great drink options to choose from. The specials on tap included local varieties such as Beak and Skiff Cider and a few Middle Ages Brewing Company beers. I tried the Swallow Wit, a refreshing wheat beer, and the Late Night IPA, a great double India Pale Ale. The bar has daily drink specials, as well as NFL and Syracuse University football specials that include drinks and wings.

The pizza nachos seemed like a great appetizer for a bar and I was intrigued by what would be on them. Tortilla chips were covered with mozzarella cheese, sausage and pepper-oni, with marinara sauce served on the side. The overall taste was OK, but there were a few missteps along the way. The chips were a bit overcooked, as if they had been sitting under the broiler too long. There also wasn’t enough

cheese on the nachos, so most bites were just plain chip. The marinara sauce was good on its own, but should have been smothered over the nachos to prevent them from drying out.

The main courses fared much better. The brisket Rueben was piled high with slow

cooked brisket meat and stuffed in a dark rye bread with coleslaw, Thousand Island dressing and melted Swiss cheese. The meat was incred-ibly tender and literally fell apart as I took a bite. The saltiness of the brisket was balanced nicely with the sweetness in the coleslaw, which was balanced with vinegar and mayonnaise. The Thousand Island gave the sandwich the fattiness it needed. The jalapeño cornbread served with the sandwich was dry and a little disappointing compared to the rest of the dish.

The Carolina pork sandwich followed the same pattern as the Rueben, with barbecue pork served with coleslaw on a classic bun. The

pork was incredible and was also fork tender. It had a great smoky flavor, and with not much else on the sandwich, it really spoke for itself.

Again, the pork worked well with the cole-slaw, which provided the crunch needed in each bite. The bun unfortunately got way too soggy, so it was hard to grab the sandwich with two hands. The cornbread served with the sand-wich was a bit dry and too crumbly in texture. However, the Spanish rice was tasty and had a nice mellow flavor compared with the meat.

The vibe at Limp Lizard Bar & Grill felt pret-ty special. Everyone had a sense of belonging, thanks in part to friendly and warm service. The bar was packed with people conversing, sharing a meal and smiles and laughter.

It’s the simple principle of good food, good drink and a great atmosphere that makes Limp Lizard Bar & Grill a Syracuse gem.

Syracuse fails to come back in straight-set loss to Duke

By Chris Libonatistaff writer

Leonid Yelin called a timeout in the second set after Duke rattled off three points, putting SU down by six points. The head coach motioned toward the scoreboard and pointed toward his head, spiritedly encouraging his players to for-

get the three-point Duke run.

They did, win-ning four of the next six points. But for SU (8-17, 1-12 Atlantic Coast), it was too little too late and No. 25 Duke (18-6, 10-3) protected that and many other large leads, stifling the Orange in a 25-16, 25-21, 25-19 straight-set defeat at the Women’s Building on Sunday.

“If we can sustain that fight a little longer in the sets, we might have a little bit of a different result,” McCabe said, “So I think we have points in a game where we’re doing a great job of fight-ing, but we’re not sustaining that the entire set.”

After Yelin’s timeout at 23-17 in the second set, Lindsay McCabe hammered a kill into Duke’s side of the court — 23-18. After Duke intervened with a point, the Orange rally con-tinued and Gosia Wlaszczuk came back with a spike — 24-19. Without celebrating, Wlaszczuk walked to the back line to serve, her face expressionless. Duke returned the serve out of bounds — 24-20. She served again and Duke again returned the ball out of bounds — 24-21.

Duke returned Wlaszczuk’s next serve and the ball fell to the ground after SU batted the ball around and the second set ended with

Duke winning 25-21.“Those rallies, it could really go either way,

so we have to work harder so that it falls our way,” Levert said.

Down 17-9 in the first set, SU needed a spark to get back in the game. Duke batted the ball around and couldn’t return it to the other side of the net, sparking a 7-2 SU run. Monika Salkute, Leah Levert and McCabe each tallied kills during the rally.

A Duke timeout switched momentum as Lucie Guttakovskia misplayed a Duke spike. And after Stacey Smith pounded the ball into the hands of two Duke blockers. Duke rolled SU for another three consecutive points, tak-ing the set 25-16.

In the third set, four freshmen — Dana Crispi, Belle Sand, Levert and Lucie — roamed the floor for SU with Duke leading 22-16. But it was the grad student Smith who answered for Syracuse, smacking a ball Duke couldn’t return and fist pumping in celebration. SU tallied another two points and started building momentum again.

But like the first two sets, Duke broke SU.As Guttakovskia and McCabe went up to

block a Duke attack, Emily Sklar slipped the ball diagonally past their hands. One final kill by Jeme Obeime punctuated the set and the match.

“When you feel it with all your heart, with your soul, you give everything in this rally and you lost, it’s like you climbing to the mountains and you right here,” Yelin said, as he raised his hands. “And all the way down,” as he lowered them.

Syracuse’s run to the Atlantic Coast Confer-ence championship ended in disappointment Sunday with a 2-0 shutout loss to No. 11 Wake Forest (14-6).

To get there, the No. 6 Orange (15-5) defeated two teams it had lost to in the regu-lar season in No. 9 Boston College and No. 1 North Carolina behind six goals from junior forward Emma Russell. Unfortunately for SU, Wake Forest played excellent defense on Sun-day, shutting down Russell and the rest of the offense en route to the championship win.

Both teams started slowly, with neither get-ting a shot off within the first nine minutes. When redshirt senior Christine Conroe finally got WFU’s first shot off, she made it count, taking a one-goal lead 15 minutes into the first period. The Demon Deacons would move quickly to extend that lead, as graduate student Georgia Holland scored off of a corner just four

minutes later to build a 2-0 lead.The Orange only had one shot on goal during

the entire first half, as freshman Laura Hurff ripped one at the net that was saved with about 13 minutes left in the period.

In the second period, Syracuse’s defense locked up and didn’t allow Wake Forest to score again. The SU offense fired off five shots, includ-ing one each from Hurff, Russell and fresh-man Lies Lagerweij, but no one could find the back of the net as WFU continually made stops.

Although the Orange could not bring home the championship, Russell, junior Alyssa Man-ley and senior Kati Nearhouse made the All-ACC championship team.

Syracuse earned a No. 4 seed in the NCAA tournament and will host Boston University in the first round on Saturday, the NCA A announced Sunday night.

— Compiled by Ryan Raigrodski, staff writer, [email protected], and Connor Grossman, staff

writer, [email protected].

many running backs into Saturday’s loss to Duke as possible, using “20” — two running backs — and “30” — three — personnel against the Blue Devils. The running backs form one of the team’s healthi-est and most talented position groups, Lester said.

But that means Philips has had to learn how to play as a slot receiver, Lester said.

Each week, the number of plays Philips can run has grown. At this point in the season, Lester said, he’s competent as a lead blocker and receiver in addition to running with the ball.

Philips started SU’s second and seventh drives of the game with 9-yard runs. In the third quarter on second-and-7 from his own 48-yard line, Mitch Kimble flipped him the ball on an option to the left and Philips tore down the field for 17 yards.

Said Lester: “It’s really impressive what he’s been able to do as a true freshman as far as how much he can grasp of the offense because we’ve really moved him around a ton and he doesn’t make mistakes.”

Syracuse’s offensive line holds up in loss

In spite of a lower-body injury he’s suffered from for a good part of the season, Rob Trudo’s pushed through, missing only one start this year and lined up at left guard next to Sean Hickey against Duke.

Persistence has been the story of the year for the SU offensive line, which somehow held up during the Orange’s loss on Saturday.

“Tough kids. They really are … For him to fight through what he’s fought through every week,” Hickey said of Trudo and SU’s offensive line, “just because he wants to keep playing next to me for as many games as he can, it means a lot.

“I can’t be more proud of them.”

At times, Syracuse’s front five was pushed to new limits against the Blue Devils. Omari Palmer made another start while right tackle Ivan Foy remains out. Sophomore Alex Hayes debuted at right guard due to Nick Robinson’s absence with a lower-body injury.

Junior Jason Emerich saw the majority of the snaps at center while starter John Miller was limited with a lower-body injury and two of Emerich’s first-half snaps were off target. The first one forced sophomore quarterback Austin Wilson to abort a jet sweep and take a 1-yard loss.

With less than a minute left before halftime and SU moving into Duke’s territory, Kimble couldn’t handle a high snap and had to take a 3-yard loss on second down.

Though the line was mostly able to create a pocket for its young quarterbacks early on and yielded just two sacks to the Blue Devils, SU only averaged 3.2 yards per carry. The inability to establish the running game made throwing the ball more difficult, Lester said.

“The combination of being banged up up front makes it really hard on those young kids going in,” Lester said. “Hopefully this bye week will help us get healthy and we can make the job for that quarterback easier.”

Hickey went down early in the second quarter after being “rolled up on” from behind, he said.

Sophomore Jamar McGloster stepped in at left tackle, and immediately Duke defensive end Jordan DeWalt-Ondijo had an easier path into the backfield on the first two plays.

Fortunately for SU, the captain was able to return to the game and fight through his pain, like so many of his fellow linemen have this year.

“It just comes down to, with the injury that you have, can you still do your job?” Hickey said. “If I could not do my job, I would’ve came out

because if I can’t do my job then I’m hurting the team. They’re going about it the same way.”

Whigham gets burned on Duke’s only two touchdowns

Both Duke touchdowns left cornerback Julian Whigham on his hands and knees on the Carrier Dome turf while his assignment, Duke wide receiver Issac Blakeney, ran away with a score.

They were the only two touchdowns for the Blue Devils on Saturday and the only major lapses by Syracuse’s secondary. The unit held Duke to more than 50 yards below its average passing output per game this season.

Whigham was in position to make both plays, but ultimately didn’t.

The first was on third-and-5 at SU’s 22. Blak-eney ran out toward the left sideline and as he turned back to look over his left shoulder, a pass from Duke quarterback Anthony Boone arrived.

Whigham, a couple steps behind, reached out to wrap Blakeney up at the hips, but when Whigham leapt forward to wrap him up, Blak-eney stepped back. Whigham whiffed and Blakeney ran into the end zone to give Duke a 10-3 lead with 5:16 left in the second quarter.

“I don’t think it was really a matchup

problem,” freshman middle linebacker Zaire Franklin said. “I thought Whigham was really in great defense both times.”

The second was on first-and-10 when Boone lofted a pass to Blakeney at the SU 27-yard line in the fourth quarter. Whigham, with his back to the end zone, got out-jumped by Blakeney, who ran over the Orange defensive back in stride before jogging into the end zone.

“There’s nothing you can really defend,” Franklin said. “Balls like that, 50-50 balls, you’re either going to come down with them or you’re not. And unfortunately for us, Whigham didn’t come down with it this time. But we still got faith in Whig and everything he does for us.”

After the extra point, Duke had a 17-point lead with just more than seven minutes to play. Blak-eney’s touchdown catches were the Blue Devils’ only offensive plays for more than 20 yards, but they were more than enough to beat the Orange.

“I thought we did a pretty good job for the most part and then we got beat on the one,” SU head coach Scott Shafer said of the second touch-down. “Just got to do a better job playing football, not being afraid to look up and play the football.”

Syracuse grabs 1st-ever victory over conference foe Mercyhurst

“… it was just too much for us to overcome.”The seniors have already overcome enough

to be remembered fondly.When the fifth-year seniors came in for the

2010 season, the Orange was coming off a 4-8 fin-ish in Doug Marrone’s first shot as the program’s head coach — dead last in the Big East and six years removed from Syracuse’s last bowl game.

But soon enough, Marrone’s administrative changes to remove individuality from the team took their effect. None of Marrone’s players were supposed to stand out. No hats or earrings in Manley Field House. No facial hair. No armbands.

The Greg Robinson days, before Marrone took over in 2009, of players eating Wendy’s before a game or boxes of pizza the night before were way back in the rearview mirror.

“He really wanted to emphasize that it’ll take the whole team to turn this around, it’s not going to take one individual,” fifth-year senior corner-back Joe Nassib said of Marrone in September.

Out of the Orange’s eight current fifth-year seniors, only running back Prince-Tyson Gulley and wide receiver Adrian Flemming contributed on the field for that 2010 team. But the foundation was being built.

That squad hoisted the first-ever Pinstripe Bowl championship trophy, giving birth to a run of three bowl wins in four years — the 2010 and 2012 New Era Pinstripe Bowls and the 2013 Texas Bowl. The senior class, most notably Lynch,

Hickey, Gulley and outside linebacker Dyshawn Davis played a major role in the success.

But after Saturday’s breakdown against Duke, those veterans won’t have the “nice cherry on top” of his career that Hickey desired. Now, just two meaningless road games against Pittsburgh and Boston College await.

“It’s devastating,” said Gulley, a team captain. “That’s pretty much all I know, just making it to a bowl game. For us not to make one kind of hurts, but you just have to take it on the chin.”

Yet through the few ups and countless downs of this season, the seniors were the sta-ples on and off the field. They refused to make excuses for the team’s losing. And they were at the heart of raising the standard for Syracuse football as an ACC competitor.

Relative to the rest of the conference, the Orange is in a precarious spot — its recruiting and coaching futures in doubt, inconsistent quarterback play all season and a basketball-centric fan base.

But it’s a hell of a lot better than the cellar of the Big East.

“You don’t want people to remember, when they think back of you as a player, to just remember this season,” Hickey said. “This senior class has been extremely successful since we’ve been here.”

And that’s what the senior class’ legacy should be. They can all be selfish now.

Two-thousand one-hundred eighty-five days had passed since Syracuse first played Mercyhurst. Over the span of nearly six years, SU mustered just 28 losses and two ties in 30 games.

On try 31, the Orange finally broke through.Players piled over

the bench, skating toward Jenn Gilligan

to celebrate the win. Those on the ice quickly made their way to Gilligan and head coach Paul Flanagan walked to the mass of players by the net. After a quick handshake, the players bolted for the locker room. Some players waved to their parents, others shouted and Dakota Derrer walked with her arms raised.

Mercyhurst made SU (3-4-5, 2-1-1 College

Hockey America) grind for the win with border-line body checks and a third-period rush, but the Orange staved it all off to beat the Lakers (9-2-1, 3-1-0), 4-1, for the first time in program history Saturday at Tennity Ice Pavilion.

“We even said… ‘Regardless of what hap-pens, go out in this third period and just give it everything you’ve got,’” Flanagan said. “’Man-age the puck, block shots, get the puck off the glass and out, do the little things well.’”

Through the first two periods, SU and Mercyhurst tallied one goal each. Mercyhurst struck first after Jennifer MacAskill poked the puck past Gilligan during a scrum in front of the net. Then SU’s Nicole Renault blasted a shot from the blue line to knot the score.

A physical first two periods escalated into an even more physical third period. As Megan Quinn and Mercyhurst’s Hannah Bale battled

on the boards for a puck in the third period, Bale wrapped her arm around Quinn and as Bale moved away, the two fell back on the ice.

Nearly 30 seconds later, Melissa Piacentini and Mercyhurst’s Molly Byrne fought for the puck near Mercyhust’s blue line and Byrne shoved Piacen-tini, who knocked Byrne on the ice.

“You’ve just got to push back,” Knerr said. With less than nine minutes left in the game,

Piacentini knocked the puck out of the air with her hand, backhanding a pass in front of the goal. Instead of finding a teammate, the puck found the back of the net, slipping through the legs of Mercyhurst goalie Amanda Makela to give Syracuse a 2-1 lead.

Mercyhurst’s final opportunty came on a power play, but put no shots on net. SU cleared the puck two times, each drawing howls from the bench.

As SU cleared the puck late in the game, Piacentini sent a pass to Burriss who chipped the puck from Mercyhurst’s blue line into the net. With a 3-1 lead and two-goal cushion, the bench went crazy.

“I think our confidence was going downhill after yesterday’s game,” said Piacentini of the Orange’s 5-1 loss to Mercyhurst on Friday. “Looking at our record, it wasn’t going our way, our games weren’t going our way, so to get this win was huge.”

bumps and bruisesSyracuse cycled through its two-

deep options like few previous SU teams in recent memory have. The injury reports seemingly grow longer and lon-ger each week and the Orange’s play on the field has reflected that.

Here’s how each team scored in all quarters, with the most important belonging to Duke.

With the game tied at 10 early in the fourth quarter, Syracuse’s Riley Dixon punted to Duke’s Jamison Crowder. Crowder took the punt at the 48-yard line, made one cut past midfield and was gone, flying past SU’s coverage team for a score.

nator switch from George McDonald to Tim Lester spiced things up, but Syr-acuse still sits next to last in the ACC in scoring offense. Red-zone execution was an issue early in the season but of late, the Orange has resolved these problems by not having many red-zone opportunities to squander.

turn over for what?The SU defense has been sturdy

all season long and kept the Orange in nearly every game. But recently, the Syracuse defense missed out on chances for key, potentially momen-tum-changing turnovers. It went without a takeaway against N.C. State on Nov. 1 and didn’t pick off Duke’s Anthony Boone until too late.

The senior wide receiver had three catches for 94 yards and two touch-downs, one of which came with 7:54 remaining in the fourth quarter to seal the game. He climbed over SU corner-back Julian Whigham to make the play.

With just under 12 minutes remain-ing in the game, SU called for a fake punt on fourth-and-4 at its own 31, down 17-10. A direct snap to running back Devante McFarlane was only advanced 1 yard, and Duke extended its lead to 10 on the ensuing drive.

The hill behind the goal and on the face of Col-vin Street was littered with trash. The grass was torn up and looked worn down, muddy and used.

“I don’t think the hill has ever looked that bad after a game,” Bono said. “I don’t think we’ve ever had that many people on the hill. It was quite an atmosphere today. I think it was probably close to or way over our record crowd.”

Bono’s estimation was correct. The 2,533 people were a part of the largest crowd ever to attend a Syracuse soccer game, breaking the previous record set on Sept. 13, when the Orange drew 2,442 for it’s loss to then-No. 4 Notre Dame. The bleachers were completely full before the first kick, and lines to buy tickets stretched almost all the way down to Manley Field House.

Behind the hill, fans craned their necks over the fence to watch as the Orange (15-2-1, 5-2-1 Atlantic Coast), the nation’s top-ranked team, beat Duke (9-9-1, 4-4) 2-0 to advance to the ACC tournament semifinals.

“I think we were dragging people in as they

were walking by,” SU head coach Ian McIntyre said. “We had some people looking over the fence, that’s a good problem to have. It was a terrific day for our program.”

Since the previous record earlier in the sea-son, SU has regularly drawn close to, or over 2,000 fans to its games. But on Sunday, on a brisk 45-degree afternoon, the fans braved the weather and the long lines to see the Orange in unprecedented numbers.

Said McIntyre: “Winning makes everything better I guess.”

Lively crowd sets SU Soccer Stadium record against Duke

though, Bono was almost caught flat-footed. Brody Huitema headed a ball off a cross right off the crossbar. Bono didn’t move or jump, and the Blue Devils were inches away from running out in front.

On the next offensive possession, Huitema fired a shot to the bottom right of the goal, but Bono had the ball slip past him and stay in play.

Sandwiched by SU goals scored by Alex Halis and Nick Perea, the Blue Devils had seven oppor-tunities to get on the board in the first half.

“You’ve just got to keep your focus through that time and hope that we’ll get back on top of the game,” Bono said. “But there are times in the game when they’re on top of us, but we just have to weather it and get back on top.”

Syracuse eventually took control of the game in the second half. It had most of the possession, and took nine of the 13 shots. But after Bono made his seventh and final save of the day in the 52nd minute, the fans that packed the hill behind his goal started chant-ing his name.

Bono, as he has all season, refused to take credit for the shutout — the 30th of his career — and said that his clean sheet on Sunday was indicative of what the defense has done all year.

“That’s what this team’s about,” Bono said. “Laying your body on the line for everyone else on this team. That’s what I’d do for any one of my teammates and that’s what I’d hope any one of them would do for me.”

Success, not final season, should define SU seniors

RB Philips continues to flash potential for SU

I ran into Cameron Lynch on Mar-shall Street on Saturday night.

“How was Senior Day?” I casually asked.

Earlier in the day, the Syracuse linebacker played in the Carrier Dome for the last time. No. 38 stood with his parents during a pregame ceremony for him and his 28 class-mates — fittingly at the 38-yard line. It was the beginning of the end of the team captain’s college career.

But his unselfish standards kept him from reflecting on it on a personal level.

“It was all right. We lost,” was all Lynch said.

It’s that team-first, no-excuses attitude he and the seniors exhib-ited after the Orange’s (3-7, 1-5 Atlantic Coast) 27-10 loss to No. 22 Duke (8-1, 4-1) on Saturday that makes the group appropriate lead-ers for this year’s team.

The seniors’ past accomplish-ments, rooted in selflessness, are

why this outgoing class should be remembered as a group that elevated the program. The seniors shouldn’t be defined by their final go-round, in which they ultimately couldn’t carry Syracuse to another bowl game through this injury-ravaged season.

This season’s been an anomaly compared to Syracuse’s past few seasons. The injury bug bit much too forcefully to judge where the program is in the ACC.

But don’t tell that to head coach Scott Shafer or his seniors.

“We were dealt a pretty tough hand throughout this year,” said Sean Hickey, SU’s senior left tackle and a team captain. “You can’t use it as a crutch or an excuse but the good teams can overcome it.

No Syracuse running back or receiver touched the ball more than Prince-Tyson Gulley and Ervin Phi-lips on Saturday.

Gulley is a fifth-year senior and starting running back playing his final home game, a 27-10 Syracuse (3-7, 1-5 Atlantic Coast) loss to No. 22 Duke

in the Carrier Dome. Philips is a true freshman with an ever-evolving and growing role in the Syracuse offense. His 10 touches — six rushes for 36 yards and four receptions for 16 yards — were just another step in a growth process that’s pleasantly surprised offensive coordinator Tim Lester.

“Erv’s a guy that we keep trying to play more,” Lester said.

Alex Bono dove to his left as he tipped Bryson Asher’s knee-high shot out of bounds in the 28th minute.

Then he stood up, repositioned his feet in preparation for a corner kick and adjusted to block away Brian White’s header just a few seconds later.

Bono, who had posted 11 shutouts in 17 games this season heading into Sunday, rose to the occasion when another clean sheet was in jeopardy.

“He’s just a presence back there,” SU head coach Ian McIntyre said.

In No. 1 Syracuse’s (15-2-1, 5-2-1 Atlantic Coast) 2-0 shutout of Duke (9-9-1, 4-4) in the quarterfinals of the ACC tournament at SU Soccer Stadium, Bono had to do most of the diving. In a season where he has been the captain of a defense that he says has made his job easy, this shutout was in large part thanks to him and his ability to steer SU through some tense first-half moments.

Bono’s seven saves — five in the first half — were a season high dur-ing a win. The Orange’s seven goals allowed in 2014 remain tied for a Division I best.

“When we call upon him, he’s always there to make the save, which we need,” senior defender Jordan Murrell said. “(The defense) can’t always stop every shot, but we try our best.

“Bono kept a clean sheet again today, and we kept a clean sheet. We’re very happy.”

early ending Syracuse has made 25 bowls in program history, dating back to the 1953 Orange Bowl and hasn’t missed bowl eligibility since the 2011 season. Here’s how early in the season this year’s loss of bowl eligibility stacks up with previous unsuccessful campaigns in terms of days into the season when SU was guaranteed to have a losing record.
