tudents who spend a lot of time in Newhouse III may have a very different experience from those who take most of their classes in Huntington Hall. Huntington Hall had “single pane windows that rattled in the wind and lost a lot of heat,” said Bruce Carter, associate professor of psychology and child and family studies, who taught in one of the classrooms. The condition of the windows made Carter worry about pigeons flying into the room when it was warmer outside, since there were no screens. He eventually bought and installed screens himself. “As buildings are renovated,
these are costs that really should be undertaken as the renovation happens,” Carter said. “They’re really university-wide costs, kind of catching everybody up to the same level.” The condition of buildings across campus varies widely. Syracuse University has increased the amount of money it spends on buildings in recent years but is still largely reliant on private donations to fund construction. Going forward, the Campus Master Plan, which is currently being developed, will play a major role in determining what SU will look like in the years ahead.
A campus in need of repair
When Deborah Pellow, a professor of anthropology, ran into Chancellor Kent Syverud last August, she said they spoke about all of the renovations being made on campus. “There was not an alleyway that
was not being worked on,” Pellow said. But the renovations had to be done, Syverud told her, because they were all repairs that had been neglected on campus for the last nine or 10 years. “For example, there’s a stairway behind the engineering building that was completely broken up and was no good for two years,” Pellow said. “Within two weeks of him (Syverud) coming here, that was fixed.” Many needed repairs, such as the stairway, fall under the category of deferred maintenance, said Sam Leitermann, vice president for internal affairs of the Graduate Student Organization. There are vast differences in classroom quality across campus as a result of deferred maintenance, Leitermann said. “It leads to a very different experience depending on where you live or spend your time,” Leitermann said. “But it’s also very easy to classify a

Syracuse University students spending the weekend in Crouse-Hinds Hall as part of the ongoing sit-in were denied a meeting with legal counsel after copies of the student code of conduct were delivered to them on Friday evening. Members of THE General Body, a coalition of student groups, have remained in the lobby of CrouseHinds since Nov. 3 following the Diversity and Transparency Rally.
It’s a right given to prisoners to seek legal counsel and unfortunately it’s not one given to student leaders trying to change the university. Ben Kuebrich sit-in organizer
On Friday, after students were handed copies of the code of conduct, Janis McDonald, a tenured professor in the SU College of Law, said students asked her if she could stop by CrouseHinds to explain the policy and the university’s judicial process. McDonald arrived at the building Saturday morning, but was not allowed inside. McDonald said when she first got to Crouse-Hinds on Saturday, she was asked to wait outside. Students would be allowed to come outside to ask her questions, and then would be allowed back in the building. However a short time later, she said she received a phone call from Department of Public Safety see sit-in page 8

Senior helps create virtual reality platform

By Alex Erdekian asst. copy editor
Irfan Uraizee helped create a new platform for the news — through virtual reality. “If you’re reading or watching a story it can become passive,” Uraizee, a senior broadcast and digital journalism major, said of the project. “People want to explore things for themselves.” During the summer, when he was an interactive applications intern for Gannett Digital, Uraizee helped create a virtual replication of a farm in Iowa. It’s accessible using the Oculus Rift, a virtual reality headset that uses 3-D imaging to recreate immersive scenes. The virtual reality incorporates interactive video, text and graphics to help tell the farm’s story of how technology, climate and globalization have affected agriculture. Uraizee’s role in the project was to code many of the interactive elements that are present in the digital environment. Coding was a skill that Uraizee decided to teach himself during his sophomore year at college. Throughout his internship, Uraizee said he had to learn new ways to code on the fly. Uraizee believes this type of inter-

active journalism has several advantages over more traditional formats. He said because a virtual reality is a story with many aspects, it is less limited than written stories or TV broadcasts. He also believes that it offers a stronger connection to the content. “You’re going to have more of an
emotional connection if you’re going through it in this way,” Uraizee said. Uraizee plans to create a similar virtual reality storytelling project at Syracuse University with Dan Pacheco, the Peter A. Horvitz Endowed Chair in Journalism Innovation. Although he doesn’t know what the story will be, he
hopes the project will bring students together from different colleges. “I’m pretty excited to work on this new project,” Uraizee said. “To be part of something on SU where I can breathe new life into journalism — that’s an incredible opportunity.” aerdekia@syr.edu

SU community to help College to get feedback enforce tobacco ban through ‘Visioning Wall’ suny-esf
By Rachel Sandler staff writer
After announcing a campus-wide smoking ban last week, it remains unclear how Syracuse University will enforce the policy. Last Tuesday, SU announced a new policy that will go into effect in July 2015, and will phase out the use of tobacco products on campus as part of an effort to promote public health. A draft of the policy was sent to the SU community in an email. The language of the policy makes clear the reasons and benefits in having a tobacco-free campus. It is also clear on how the policy will be phased in and exactly where it will be applied. The policy is less clear, however, on how it will be enforced. According to a draft of the policy, members of the SU community will be tasked with enforcement. There is no mention of any Department of Public
Safety involvement in the draft. “Faculty, staff, students, alumni and volunteers are expected to enforce the policy for their facilities and/or sponsored activities,” the draft policy reads.

In an effort to gain input on SUNYESF’s strategic planning process, a “Visioning Wall” will be put up by the end of the day Tuesday. Poster boards will be installed along a wall in the Gateway Atrium that will prompt members of the State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry community to write their comments about the second draft of the visioning process. The wall will be up for the next few weeks. The visioning groups want to provide a public forum for students, faculty and staff to talk about the future goals of the school, which led to the Visioning Wall. “We will be seeking comments on these organizing questions as well as the ESF community’s views on areas for which we have exist-
ing strength or may choose to build strength,” said SUNY-ESF President Quentin Wheeler. The team wanted to build the Visioning Wall where students would see it. The Gateway Atrium is home to the cafeteria, meeting spaces and conference rooms. Valerie Luzadis, a professor and co-chair of one of the visioning groups, said the Gateway Atrium is an open space where the most students will have the opportunity to see the wall. “What I really like about this set up is that having it displayed in a physical way, you can stand around it with a group and actually have a conversation around it, where it seems more likely to happen than if you are looking at a computer screen,” she said. The Visioning Group hopes to receive different ideas on several key issues moving forward in the see visioning

The competition concluded with each team presenting to panels of School of Information Studies faculty and staff and representatives from MLB Advanced Media on Friday night. Matt Deeb, a freshman information management and technology and finance dual major, Christopher Thomsen, a freshman broadcast and digital journalism and management dual major and James Franco, a sophomore history and political science dual major were a part of the winning team. The trio developed a campaign based around the hashtag #KeepYourShine with the intent of ending smokeless tobacco use in baseball.

Andrew Cuomo in the Democratic gubernatorial primary, spoke Friday afternoon in Maxwell Auditorium. Teachout gave a lecture on her book titled “Corruption in America: From Benjamin Franklin’s Snuff Box to Citizens United.” Teachout discussed her run against Cuomo, as well as corruption in politics. The main topic of Teachout’s lecture was the Citizens United ruling, which ruled that the First Amendment prohibited the government from restricting independent political spending by a nonprofit organization, and what that has meant for campaign finance.

She cited the antitrust guidelines that were put into place in 1981 and referenced the rewriting of them as one of the solutions to the problem. During the Q&A portion of the lecture, Teachout received questions about THE General Body. Teachout said she didn’t have enough information or knowledge on the subject, but she encouraged the crowd to always question representatives on “where they get their information from.” Teachout was also asked whether she would like to run for office again in which she responded: “I sure hope so.”
SU announces changes to Huntington Beard Crouse Syracuse University announced in a release Friday morning that it is planning renovations to Huntington Beard Crouse Hall with this summer as the target start date. The majority of the renovations will take place on the lower level of HBC, where Kittredge Audi-
where members of the SUNY-ESF community were invited to express their opinions on the future of the college. Zane Lawyer, a junior forest health major at SUNY-ESF, said opportunities like the Visioning Wall allow him to express his opinion on these issues and the future of the school. “Change is always good, especially in a college like this,” Lawyer said, “Communication is big, most of the protest things come from negligence,
torium is located, and include upgrades to the auditorium and a new elevator that goes to the Gifford Auditorium lobby, according to the release. The construction is scheduled to begin the day after commencement and end in mid-August. As part of the project, a new elevator will provide access to the Gifford Auditorium lobby, rather than the current format in which those with wheelchairs must go outside the building and enter through a door in the courtyard between HBC and the Hall of Languages. Other aspects of the project include: — Installation of fire service and sprinklers in the lower level and an upgrade to the building’s fire alarm system — Construction of a ramped corridor on the lower level, which will provide access to the new restrooms and allow for the removal of a metal ramp Joseph Alfieri, senior project manager in the Office of Campus Planning, Design and Construction, will give presentations about the renovations on Wednesday and Dec. 2. jmatting@syr.edu

facilities new building as a nice building and to think it’s got more priority.” Now, Leitermann said the university is looking at areas that haven’t been maintained as well to try and create a more quality student experience in all buildings on campus. “I think that’s one of the assessments that’s ongoing, is looking at where we haven’t maintained as well as we could and bringing everything up to a threshold,” Leitermann said.
Increases in capital costs
Finding money to build Newhouse III was a relatively easy process for David Rubin. Rubin, former dean of the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications, and Kenneth “Buzz” Shaw, former chancellor of Syracuse University, secured a $15 million gift from the Newhouse family — enough to cover about half the cost of the building, he said. The remaining capital costs were also covered by donations, he said. If a school or college cannot raise all the money to pay for a new building, they have several options, Rubin said. The university may look to its own donor base, such as the Board of Trustees, or task the Office of Development with locating donors. The last and least desirable option is for the school to take out a bond, he said. “It’s ideal if private donors pay for buildings,” Rubin said. “On this campus, that’s not the rule. The university is bonded for a lot of buildings.” Lou Marcoccia, executive vice president and chief financial officer for SU, said every building situation depends on its fundraising potential and how the project fits into the university’s priorities. The university sets aside funds for capital costs in its fiscal budget, but yearly spending fluctuates
based on the kinds of construction or renovation projects SU takes on. According to a report from Bain and Co., SU’s capital costs increased 17 percent between 2010 and 2013. Recently, Marcoccia said the university’s capital costs largely increased due to the construction of Dineen Hall. In 2013, SU spent $82 million on capital projects. In 2014, SU spent $116 million on capital costs — $50 million of which was spent on the construction of Dineen Hall, Marcoccia said. This year, the university has set aside $32 million for capital projects. The university also plans to use $171 million out of the $1 billion raised in the billion-dollar campaign to help fund future capital projects, Marcoccia said. But even though donors pledged $1 billion to the university, it doesn’t mean that the money is able to be spent right away, said Craig Dudczak, former chair of the University Senate Budget Committee. “While it was widely reported in exceeding the $1 billion campaign, that’s not a billion dollars cash in hand,” Dudczak said. “Some of that money may be years in coming because they may be bequests that are seen after a person’s demise.” Syverud’s Fast Forward Initiative may be an effort to pause and look at the university’s spending, academic mission and overall vision, Dudczak said. The hope is that the vision and the university’s capital needs will work hand in hand, he said. “So I think it might be fair to say that in roughly the last year or so there’s probably been a hold on commitments as we try to figure out a longer range plan,” Dudczak said.
Envisioning the future
Every 10 years, the university produces a Campus Master Plan that evaluates SU’s campus environment and physical form. Cathryn New-
ton, Professor and Dean Emerita of Earth Sciences, serves on the Campus Master Plan Advisory Group and said the biggest issues being discussed are security and the need for more common spaces. “The most pressing space questions facing our campus do not begin whether to do something, but they begin with the word how,” Newton said. First, the Campus Master Plan will look at how the university currently uses its buildings, so that it can identify the university’s climate, Leitermann said. It will then “synthesize” information provided by individual students, faculty and staff into one to decide the university’s biggest needs. The last Campus Master Plan, which was compiled in 2003, had several focus areas, but ended up with few successes, Leitermann said. The report proposed renovating the Carnegie Library, which was completed last January.
Sasaki Associates, a Massachusetts-based architecture and design firm who presented the results of the Campus Master Plan survey to the SU community last month, won’t be completing any actual renovations, but will inform the advisory group where the university could build new buildings in the future, Leitermann said. If the university decides to construct a new facility, they can refer to the Campus Master Plan in the future to find spaces where they can build, he said. Leitermann said he believes the work completed by the Strategic Plan, Operation Excellence and Campus Master Plan will allow for a better, stronger vision for the university than before. Said Leitermann: “Hopefully we do a better job of creating a document that we can look at 10 years down the road and say, ‘Hey, we guessed right.’” apalme05@syr.edu

letter to the editor
Continuation of Crouse-Hinds sit-in could lead to confrontation THE General Body has made an important contribution to Syracuse University. It reminds us the work to insure diversity and to meet the needs of students requires vigilance. This time reminds me of my participation in the student movement of the ‘60s which taught me that it’s a lifelong endeavor to work for justice. The move-in at Crouse-Hinds Hall has been effective in insisting that consideration be given to the “demands,” a word I like less the older I get. I’ve seen little accomplished by “demanding.” But I’ve seen amazing things happen when people come together to listen. I think Chancellor Kent Syverud and the THE General Body have done that. At the outset sit-ins are effective in gaining the attention of the community followed by a period in which they are less so. Many student ideas have been embraced by the chancellor. He has apologized and is instituting new initiatives. The challenge is to create a plan to moving forward that addresses issues that remain and promotes the work of creating substantive change. If the encampment continues, I am concerned it will inevitably lead to confrontation, the cous-
in of “demands” and just as ineffective. Confrontation leads to “glory moments” and perhaps a few concessions. But it destroys continued dialogue and the ongoing education essential to change institutions and individuals alike. There is a model from the ‘60s to consider now. It was called the “Free University.” It was a place where justice issues were central, where teachers were students and students were teachers. It considered topics that did not have a place in the curriculum. Anyone could participate and areas of study from it are now curricular offerings at Syracuse. My hope is we can now to move from the encampment to a 21st century Free University. A university is a privileged place where protections allow all ideas to come forward. We enjoy this privilege with the expectation that solutions will be rooted in dialogue, research and respect for one another. A new Free University might be that place, and I for one will look forward to being both student and teacher.

Traffic patterns create many downsides for commuters The new traffic patterns on Comstock Avenue between Euclid and Waverly avenues and on Waverly Avenue are ill advised. They were probably executed to provide bike lanes that are separate from car traffic but why do it on streets that actually have very little bike traffic? The new patterns mainly succeed in providing several blocks of free parking close to the university for students and staff. There are many downsides to the new traffic patterns. What we have are two narrow lanes that do not allow cars to get around a blockage. The first day I drove down this stretch of Comstock Avenue, an ambulance came up

behind me with sirens blaring but it was impossible to pull over. Emergency vehicles will have a terrible time getting through and if fire trucks or other emergency vehicles must park, car traffic will be completely blocked. Left and right turn lanes have been eliminated which would cause traffic backups. The abrupt changes in lanes together with having a line of cars parked in the middle of the road are asking for accidents to happen, especially on dark, rainy nights when visibility is poor. In summary, the benefits of the changes are not worth the drawbacks.

Master plan will equalize facilities The differences in conditions between college facilities — such as between the Martin J. Whitman School of Management and the School of Education’s Huntington Hall — could lead an outside observer to believe that the university values certain schools above others. The Campus Master Plan will be an important factor in making sure the campus buildings appear more equal. The university produces a Campus Master Plan every 10 years that evaluates SU’s campus environment and physical form. The Campus Master Plan will look at how the university currently uses its buildings, so that it can identify the university’s climate. The last plan, compiled in 2003, focused on a few areas and proposed renovating the Carnegie Library, which was completed last January. Every college at Syracuse Uni-
versity is valued equally. But the current states of some buildings show otherwise, which can be a problem for prospective students touring the university. Although those who attend SU likely know that renovations and updates come from generous donations, from the outside it might seem like some schools are given more resources than others. The new Campus Master Plan, with a focus on re-evaluating university buildings, comes at a good time. Some colleges have been able to renovate buildings — such as the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications — because of donors. But other colleges that do not have as many or as wealthy of donors are in need of renovation. The new Dick Clark Studios and the Alan Gerry Center for Media Innovation are the most recent renovations for Newhouse and stand in

stark contrast to other facilities, such as Huntington-Beard Crouse or the Physics Building. With the new Campus Master Plan, the university will be able to strategize a way to give appropriate attention to each campus building — even the ones that do not have as large of a pool of donors.

Staying open on Thanksgiving will hurt businesses in long run
T
he ongoing battle between profits and moral principle has been put to the test this holiday season as big box retailers form their Black Friday plans. These expanded hours are an overreaching intrusion on Thanksgiving and are not grounded in a sound business strategy. Stores with the most generous inventories like Wal-Mart and Target have announced some of the longest hours on Thanksgiving Day yet. Wal-Mart is open all Thanksgiving week and moved its doorbuster deals time back two hours from 8 p.m. to 6 p.m. on Turkey Day, the same time Target will be opening its doors. Toys R Us, Best Buy and Kmart have similar new hours. Other companies are showing desperation.

open 3,000 stores on Thanksgiving, starting at 8 a.m. and running until midnight. The struggling JCPenney chain will open at 5 p.m. This is all in response to what company spokesmen would call increased demand. According to a Wednesday Washington Post article citing a study from consulting firm Accenture, 45 percent of Americans plan to shop on Thanksgiving Day, up from 38 percent last year. However, that same article cited another study saying that over 60 percent of Americans dislike the idea of stores opening on Thanksgiving and taking employees away Asst. News Editor Asst.

from their families. This leaves us with a conundrum: shoppers dislike the idea of stores being open on Thanksgiving in principle, but by large will tend to show up and go deal-hunting, regardless. But for every store opening early, there’s another that won’t be open at all that Thursday. Barnes and Noble, Costco, Lowe’s, Marshalls, Nordstrom and TJ Maxx are just a few of many that give employees Thanksgiving off to be with their families. It’s the right strategy. These stores show an appreciation for tradition and disregard the temptation of profits in favor of long-term brand favorability. I don’t believe there’s any significant value in having inaugural doorbuster deals on the evening of Thanksgiving. This, more than
anything, is simply borrowing revenue that would already be accrued the following day. Of course, if employees are willing to work and show enough support of coming in on Thanksgiving, then there isn’t much of an issue. But it’s doubtful that Wal-Mart and Target incorporated this strategy when determining what their operating hours would be. The justification for Thanksgiving night hours is that they are a response to increasing demand. This implies that consumer behavior comes first and companies mold their strategies to it. That is an ideology based on a falsehood. Retailers have the power to manipulate consumer behavior, and the Thanksgiving night strategy simply draws more people out who would likely have no problem
waiting 12 hours until the next morning. All buyers are looking for is a deal, but when that deal is available is up to the seller. Stores have been expanding Black Friday deals for years. Asking cashiers to come in at 6 p.m. is a stretch too far, just as 8 p.m. was. If it was as necessary as Target or WalMart would proclaim, then wouldn’t every company be doing it? The long term benefits of taking the high road and closing on Thanksgiving will usher in more support and favorability for these companies than six hours of Thanksgiving deals will ever provide.

sit-in Associate Chief John Sardino saying students would not be allowed to come outside to talk with McDonald and return inside the building. “I just wanted to go in and explain the student code of conduct and answer questions about what it may mean and I was refused that opportunity,” McDonald said. “It would’ve been a half hour to an hour and wouldn’t have been a problem. The administration has now caused a real uproar amongst faculty members.” McDonald added that she saw the denial of legal counsel as an “unnecessary escalation” of the situation. She said she plans on meeting with protesters in person Monday morning. In an email to the SU community Sunday evening, Vice Chancellor and Provost Eric Spina said “today and going forward, a process will be developed so that legal advisement can be provided in the building even when it is closed.” Spina also said that in the Nov. 12 final response sent to student protesters, the university made clear that going forward “the Code of Student Conduct would be in consideration and that any previous violations would not be pursued by any means.” No students have been asked to leave the building yet, Spina said. SU will give students advance notice if the university plans to initiate code of student conduct charges, although no such plans are currently in place, he said. On Friday night, university officials delivered envelopes that were individually labeled with names to each of the protesters in CrouseHinds. Inside each envelope was a copy of the SU student code of conduct, as well as the school’s non-disruption policy. Kevin Quinn, senior vice president for pub-
lic affairs, said on Saturday that three items in the code of conduct were highlighted that may be utilized in enforcement. A violation of any policies in the student code of conduct typically triggers action by judicial affairs. Ben Kuebrich, one of the organizers of the sit-in, said the group has been in contact with McDonald and a representative from the American Civil Liberties Union over the phone. While being able to talk through questions on the phone is helpful, Kuebrich said it can be useful to have someone to speak in person with the entire group of students. “It’s a right given to prisoners to seek legal counsel and unfortunately it’s not one given to student leaders trying to change the university,” Kuebrich said. McDonald added that she hoped by informing protesters on the code of conduct and the university’s judicial process, she could help them make good decisions. “If they refuse a specific order, they need to know what the consequences are and that’s all I was trying to do,” she said. In response to the protesters being denied a legal adviser, faculty members stood outside of Crouse-Hinds Sunday to support the protesters, and McDonald said she’s received many letters from faculty who are upset by the decision. That faculty outrage has led to the creation of a rally, which is scheduled for noon on Monday in front of Hall of Languages. Kuebrich said faculty largely planned the rally, and members of THE General Body are trying to help spread the word. “A lot of faculty are really proud of these students,” McDonald said. “These students are really working hard, and not for their own self interests.” blsamuel@syr.edu

Setting up
CAMP Students volunteer for camp for kids of cancerdiagnosed parents By Erin McDonald staff writer
P
eople of all ages can be affected by cancer, but sometimes the children of adults fighting the battle can fall out of the spot-
light and don’t get the attention they need. Camp Kesem is a national organization that has set out to solve that problem. Around the country each summer, Camp Kesem holds weeklong camps orchestrated by college students. The goal is to provide a fun and carefree environment for children whose parents are currently battling or have had cancer in the past, said Emma Frazier, a junior communication and rhetorical studies and political science dual major, who is also involved with Camp Kesem for the first time this year. On Monday, the link to fill out an online application to become a volunteer for Camp Kesem will become active, and applicants should hear back within a few weeks after submitting their application, said Taylor Weaver, a junior public relations major and public relations spokesperson for the Camp Kesem at Syracuse University organization. About 15 counselors are typically chosen for the SU-run Camp Kesem. Last summer, the event at SU assisted in improving the summer of 25 kids who have
been affected due to their parents’ illnesses. The number of children stays around the same each year, varying slightly based on the amount of counselors that have signed up to volunteer at the camp, Weaver said. “I was inspired to become involved because it is a beautiful thing,” Weaver said. Kids whose parents have cancer fall into a category where they could potentially be forgotten. Although their parents are the ones that are sick, many people don’t think about how it affects the kids of those that have been diagnosed with the disease, Weaver said. The national Camp Kesem organization has had a positive effect around the United States, and its 54 chapters nationwide have reached out and helped over 10 thousand children since its founding in 2000, according to the Camp Kesem website. In the past summer alone, almost 4 thousand children participated in the camp. The camp is free of charge to children aged 6–16, and the organization reaches across 29 states, according to the website.
Camp Kesem has a different theme each year, and events over the course of the week include canoeing, dunk tanks, archery, crafts and other activities that allow the kids to have fun and feel welcomed, Weaver said. A lot of planning goes into making the camp as perfect as it can be, and many members of the team work hard to make it a success. In particular, a theme has to be decided on well in advance to create the best environment for the week, said Frazier who handles the scheduling of the week and plays a role in deciding the theme for next year’s camp. In addition, studies show that the program works. Ninety-eight percent of families that have had a child participate in the camp believe that it had a positive effect on the child and their families, according to the Camp Kesem website. Frazier said kids with ill parents aren’t necessarily given as much attention as they should, and Camp Kesem is a way to give them the attention that they need. “It’s a way to give back,” she said. eemcdona@syr.edu

tobacco ban and the SU community. DPS wants to avoid strict, authoritarian methods for compliance with the policy, Warren said. “DPS officers will have the same responsibility for enforcement as all students, faculty and staff,” Warren said. “A model in which the department is solely or mainly responsible for policing smokers on campus would not be effective.” Although DPS was consulted in meetings that discussed the policy, it did not have a major role in writing the language of the draft as it now stands, Warren said. The policy emphasizes a “culture of compliance” where the SU community and DPS will focus on changing the smoking culture and student behavior on campus. “The goal is to assist the campus in making a cultural change, where smoking is no longer a conscious option for campus community members,” Warren said. As of Oct. 1, there are at least 1,477 100-percent smoke-free campuses in the United States, according to the for Nonsmokers’ Americans Rights website. Of those 1,477 campuses, 975 are 100-percent tobacco-free and 291 prohibit the use of e-cigarettes anywhere on campus, according to the website. Washington University in St. Louis, where Chancellor Kent Syverud served as dean of the law school prior to coming to SU, has a smoke-free campus, according to the university’s website. Florida State University, the University of Louisville, the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill and the University of Notre Dame are other Atlantic Coast Conference smoke-free schools. The University of Michigan, which implemented a similar smoking ban in 2011, relies on
a similar community model for enforcement, which has been successful so far, a University of Michigan representative said in an email. Part of the University of Michigan’s SmokeFree Initiative trains supervisors and employees to handle situations in which someone is smoking on campus, according to the school’s Smoke-Free Initiative’s website. “Be respectful and be direct,” the website says. “Make clear that this is an important policy to the university and it is an expectation that everyone adheres to this policy.” The University of Notre Dame, which is listed as a benchmark school by Bain and Co., a consulting firm that analyzed ways SU can become more efficient and effective, enforces its smoking ban in a similar manner. “All members of the Notre Dame Community, as well as visitors, share in the responsibility of adhering to and enforcing this policy,” its policy says. Notre Dame’s policy was updated in March. Rachel Friedman, a junior women and gender studies and geography major at SU, said she thinks the smoking ban will not change the smoking culture on campus nor get people to quit. Smokers, she added, will only be pushed off campus. “I don’t really think it will change the attitudes towards it,” Friedman said. “But a lot of people, from what I’ve seen, already don’t like the smoking on campus so their attitudes don’t need to be changed.” Friedman said she disagrees with the limited role DPS will play when the smoking ban is first implemented. “I feel like it has to be based on DPS patrolling and writing people up as they see it,” she said. “People will be less likely to do if they think DPS is going to write them up for it.” rsandler@syr.edu

pixel perfect Students design ‘Family. Life.’ project during 1st workshop By Jackie Frere feature editor
T
o junior Jay Getman, family is a challenge. To junior Zhiye Jin, family is a feeling of missing something when you are not around them. To professor Renée Stevens, family is people caring about each other, regardless of relation. Family is life. From Thursday to Sunday, about 28 students participated in “Pixels vs Print,” a design workshop put on by the Alexia Foundation and the S.I. School of Public Communications to complete “Family. Life.” This is a global collaborative project that combines different disciplines of art from over 60 participating programs worldwide with each piece of artwork reflecting specifically on a central theme of family. “Grants and competitions usually reward work that’s already been produced and the idea was that, ‘Well what if an institution, both a journalism school and a communications school and a foundation, were able to instigate a project that made work happen?’” said Mike Davis, the Alexia Tsairis chair for documentary photography and a
Newhouse professor. “Pixels vs Print,” the first workshop put on for design students at Newhouse, was inspired by the annual fall workshop held for photography students in the past 15 years. The “Family. Life.” project ends on the 60th anniversary of Edward Steichen’s “The Family Man,” which was an exhibit at the Museum of Modern Art of more than 500 photos that were grouped around love, children and death. Davis said he took inspiration

n its first year hopping across the pond from New York to London, the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show has been making headlines. According to the New York Post, model Kendall Jenner will be zoe absent from malliaros the Victoria’s running Secret runway in heels this year in order to walk the Chanel Métiers d’Art show, which will be held on the same night. She was rumored to make her Victoria’s Secret debut this year, but she was already booked for its date. It must be hard to have it all. There remains speculation surrounding why Jenner really chose Chanel over Victoria’s Secret. After New York Fashion Week, the rumors were that Jenner was bullied backstage by fellow models, according to a Sept. 18 Huffington Post article. Any industry full of women is going to have tension, but bullying is never something than can be justified. Yes, the Kardashians are a very in-your-face group, but just because Jenner is related to them doesn’t mean she should be subjected to cattiness and feel unwelcomed. She acted professionally and didn’t make a big deal or scandal out of it, but that doesn’t mean it’s OK for her to feel attacked while she’s doing something she loves, especially while doing it as well as she does. As far as handling the models who snubbed Jenner for her name and family goes, they need to realize they’re all working together for the greater good. They each play a vital role in promoting brands and doing so in a friendly, chic way to attract buyers. In no way does that involve bullying or competing negatively with each other. Many people are always going to assume she’s a model with such great opportunities only because her half-sisters are Kardashians, and they have connections across the industry, but that’s not the case. She’s an extremely talented model who attended every Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week, from New York to Paris, and walked in multiple see fashion page 12

family life are also participating from countries such as Armenia, South Korea, New Zealand, the Czech Republic and the United States. “This (is a) creation of something on a global scale that every student in our program gets involved with, so from the tiniest ground level aspect to the largest aspect of subject matter that you can possibly deal with, and create a community of people that wouldn’t have existed were it not for this project — to connect our students with many students from around the world,” Davis said. During the workshop, students broke into seven teams of three to four and each had a task to complete. Four teams worked on the “pixels” aspect of the project, which included creating the look and demographics for the website and creating social media pages. The other three teams were assigned “print” duties, such as creating posters, postcards and the template for the photo book. Mentors with professional design experience were assigned to each group, giving their teams tips and helping with their individual projects. Each mentor also lectured the entire workshop about certain design topics. Getman, a junior information management and technology major, initially came to the workshop to observe and give his input about interactive web design. When a student didn’t show up, he was put into a group and was immediately put to work. Getman said he learned how to use Photoshop for the first time over the weekend, and as an IT major, it was eye-opening to see how design-
ers work under stress. “This is not my element. The mood is really energetic and our coaches are invaluable,” Getman said. “They all have different stories and different pasts to how they got to

design for a living or how they design during their life. Without their guidance, we would be a little bit lost and floating.” Once the website, posters and photo book are complete and have the contributing art placed, the “Family. Life.” event will launch by next spring. Stevens, an assistant Newhouse professor who helped create the event, said the work will eventually be viewed in galleries all over the world. Stevens said the workshop has been a huge success, and she said the coaches have thanked her for the opportunity to work with the students. She hopes to keep hosting workshops in the future. “We’re all like a little family now, and it’s amazing. All the students are all here because they want to be,” Stevens said. “Their growth has been incredible. I hope this stays around for a really, really long time. They deserve it.” jmfrere@syr.edu | @jackie_frere

fashion shows in each city. The fashion industry doesn’t care who you’re related to — it’s about how you perform and represent the brands you’re hired to pose for. When you’re in the spotlight, people are going to watch your every move and judge you for just about anything. Jenner is an example of a model that faced challenges but didn’t let them deter her goals whatsoever. Veteran supermodel Coco Rocha spoke out against the bullies and offered Jenner some valuable words of wisdom. “It is bad for the industry, and if that all did happen, that’s really frustrating to hear,” Rocha told HuffPost Live. “You have to remember that during the shows, it is all very young girls. It’s like high school. We breathe and eat and sleep together for two months, so it gets to a point where you’re just overwhelmed, frustrated and tired.” It seems as though every industry is trying to empower women and push them further into professional and high-ranking jobs. Fashion is definitely among them. I think this is very important and educating those involved in the process is crucial. Shaming other women should not be a part of getting ahead. With so much news about the Victoria’s Secret runway show lately, the Jenner bullying saga has made its way back into headlines. The bullying incidents may have nothing to do with the model’s decision. But they still add to the conversation about working together to empower one another and improve the fashion industry.

Open house
Syracuse institution features old classics, wide beer selection By Rohan Thakore staff writer
L
ike any great city, Syracuse has that one restaurant that turns into a local institution — a place that has its own way of doing things and never changes. In Syracuse, that place is Clark’s Ale House. Opened in 1992 by Ray Clark, Clark’s Ale House rose to fame by having an extensive beer menu and only one sandwich to choose
from. Clark’s original location was in the Landmark Theatre, but it closed in 2010 after the theater expanded. Today, a black banner loudly proclaims Clark’s is back open at its new location on the corner of South Salina and Washington streets in the heart of downtown. A beautiful brick facade and large open windows give Clark’s the feeling of a bar lost in time. A paper menu on the side of the building points out some of the limited food options to choose from. Inside, it’s the same story. A replica British telephone booth is the first thing to greet customers as they enter. The interior is an intricate array of beautiful wood, dim lights and high ceilings. Booths and tables cover the lower dining area, and the upstairs provides additional seating. Off of the main dining room is the bar where food and drinks are ordered separately. The floor was covered with old peanut shells, and a few people sat at the high tables in this section. A huge chalkboard lays out all the different types of draft varieties, 32 in all. A slightly smaller menu for food includes the famous roast beef sandwich, a house salad, beef stew and a few cheese plates. I ordered the salad, beef stew and the roast beef sandwich and proceeded to find a seat at
one of the booths. All the food is served cafeteria style, with lunch trays, generic looking plates and self-serve condiments stationed in the dining room. The salad was a mix of greens, with a few peppers and tomatoes thrown in there. I made my own salad dressing of balsamic, olive oil, salt and pepper. The salad tasted pretty generic and wasn’t doing any favors for the restaurant. The beef stew fared a little better though. A special item for Syracuse Beer Week, the beef stew provided warm comfort on a chilly evening. Chunks of tender beef, carrots, onions and potatoes became fork tender in a thick soupy base. But while the soup was substantial, it was over-seasoned. Each spoonful was too salty and took away from the stew as a whole. The roast beef sandwich was the item I was most excited to try. It is served plain on a classic kummelweck roll, which is a variation of a Kaiser roll topped with caraway fruits and salt. You could add cheese to the sandwich if you wanted, but I instead chose to try it with a little bit of mustard. The sandwich was great, and every bite contained strands of slow-cooked roast beef. The roll held up well to the amount of roast beef inside the sandwich and was a nice change from the
traditional onion roll. My biggest complaint, though, was that the roast beef was just a bit under-seasoned. It needed a little more spice and salt to push it to the next level. I dipped the sandwich into the beef stew to act as an au jus, or a light beef sauce, but it actually added too much salt to it. After being closed for about four years, I wasn’t expecting a perfect meal. Clark’s has just reopened, and I’m sure there were a few hiccups along the way. But as soon as you step inside, order your food and grab a drink, you get hooked. It’s a Syracuse treasure, unapologetic in its way of doing things. And with a reputation and following built over 20 years, it has the right to be. rythakor@syr.edu

Lack of effort dooms SU to 4-set loss to Boston College By Jack Rose staff writer
At set point, Boston College right side Julia Topor smacked a ball down the right sideline, directly in front of the Syracuse bench. No Orange players went for the ball, hoping it would go out boston college 3 of bounds. syracuse 1 The referee in the back corner jumped backward to get out of the way. SU players celebrated, thinking they had just pulled within a point, but the first referee signaled the point, and the third set, for BC. “To me it was impossible to see if it’s in or out,” SU head coach Leonid Yelin said. After the point, he yelled across the court at the referee who made the call, disappointed with the outcome. With a combination of bad luck and inconsistent effort, Syracuse (8-18, 1-13 Atlantic Coast) fell in four sets to Boston College (1114, 6-8). SU had one fewer attack error than BC despite fewer kills and fewer attempts. Outside hitter Silvi Uattara had her worst match of the season, recording just five kills with a -.034 hitting percentage. “Every time we are coming in trying,” Yelin said about his team’s game-to-game effort. “Unfortunately, we are trying less.” The first two sets were back and forth as the teams looked evenly matched. They traded points in the first until the Eagles pulled away at the end, taking the set 25-21. The teams traded runs in the second set, with a 4-0 BC run tying the score at 20. Up 22-21, SU middle blocker Monika Salkute served the ball down the right line and when it came down, both teams celebrated. The point was awarded to the Orange. Two points later, on set point, Uattara spiked the ball from the back row into the net, popping it up and sending the ball toward the

penn state the co-captain charged toward the goal. The pass hit Russell perfectly as she was getting ready to enter the circle. Russell finished from there, slamming the ball past the goalie into the back-right corner of the goal. Just 5:44 into the game, the Orange had already established a 1-0 advantage. “I think it was really important that we start out strong the first 10–15 minutes,” Russell said. “So to come out, and control and then score the first goal was really important for our team. It was just really good to start off the game strong.” The crisp passing continued throughout the first period, leading the Orange to get another great scoring chance just under 20 minutes into the period. Co-captain Katie Nearhouse passed to an open Russell just slightly over midfield. Russell found midfielder Alyssa Manley on the other side of the field, a little deeper into Penn State territory. From there, Manley fired off a pass to senior forward Lauren Brooks deep enough into Penn State territory where Brooks had enough space
back right corner. The ball appeared to land beyond the end line, but the point was called for Syracuse, who took the set 25-23 and tied the match at a set apiece. “Everyone on the team had points when they played great and points when they didn’t play so well,” senior middle blocker Lindsay McCabe said. “ ... When we were not playing well, the other players were also brought down by that.” During the break between the second and third sets, Yelin told his team to stick to its game plan and focus on shutting down BC’s Topor and Katty Workman. Topor had 10 kills, most coming in the final two sets, while Workman dominated the Orange with 23 kills on 54 attempts. “(Workman), really good hitter, she can see block and she saw it, know where to hit,” Yelin said. The third set mirrored the first two, capped by the controversial call at the end. Topor had three kills down the stretch to seal it for the Eagles. With the score tied at one in the fourth, a hard BC kill forced the Orange to dive for the dig. The ball popped forward to setter Gosia Wlaszczuk, who deftly pushed the ball over the net, but the referee called Wlaszczuk for a double-touch violation. The setter did not agree with the call, showing the referee how she had interlaced her hands and couldn’t have touched the ball twice. “How is it double touch if I put my hands like this?” she yelled at the referee before Boston College took control of the match. An 11-5 run put BC up six and SU was reeling. After Topor hit a ball out of bounds, Wlaszczuk said, “Come on, let’s go,” to her teammates. Her motivation didn’t work as BC took the next three points and eventually the set, 25-15. Said McCabe: “When they got a little bit of a run of points in the fourth set, I think that we really let that affect us.” jlrose@syr.edu
to drive into the circle and score the team’s second goal of the day at 19:44 into the first period. “I think we just moved better as a forward and a midfield line,” Russell said. “The reshaping around the ball was better.” For the third goal of the period, the Orange worked the ball inside the circle, earning a corner. On the corner, Brooks missed the first shot and Nearhouse missed a rebound as well. But PSU goalie Kylie Licata spilled the ball off of Nearhouse’s missed shot into Lagerweij’s stick. The freshman cleaned up to give Syracuse a padded 3-0 lead. “I saw the ball coming in front of me and I dived to it,” Lagerweij said. “I was lying on the ground doing something with my stick and it just went in.” SU and UNC have traded wins against each other this season, with the Orange’s victory coming on Nov. 7 in the ACC tournament off an overtime goal from Russell. “Our quest is to be prepared for Friday night’s match against North Carolina and be able to get one more,” Bradley said. “That’s what’s on the back of their shirts: ‘One more.’” rlraigro@syr.edu

Hillsman substitutes heavily, 4 players debut vs. Fordham By Josh Hyber staff writer
Every time Quentin Hillsman turned toward Syracuse’s bench and readjusted his gold and black rimmed glasses in frustration, it was almost a given the Orange head coach would make a substitution. When Cornelia Fondren committed a turnover, in came Alexis Peterson. Taylor Ford threw a poor pass out of bounds, and in came Isabella Slim. On Sunday at the Carrier Dome in the No. 24 Orange’s (1-0) season-opening 59-42 victory over Fordham (0-2), SU used a fluid rotation of 11 players, with nine playing more than 10 minutes. At times, some players didn’t play more than a minute or two at once. “We handled it well,” said Fondren, who re-entered the starting lineup Sunday after starting 31-of-32 games her freshman season and not starting any of the 30 games she played last season. “Everybody came in and did what they were supposed to do. We adjusted very well.” Syracuse’s first seven points were scored by reserves Ford and Bria Day. Ford, who checked in for Slim just a minute and 21 seconds into the game, connected on a 3 from the left wing and added two free throws to give the Orange
an early 5-2 lead. Day, who checked in for sister Briana at the 17:48 mark, made a layup to extend SU’s lead to 7-2. Syracuse subbed 31 times in the first half. With Ford and Briana Day both picking up two quick fouls, Fondren played a wing position in the back of Syracuse’s 2-3 zone, much like she did at times last season.

After committing a turnover at the 11:20 mark of the first half, Fondren was replaced by freshman point guard Daniele Minott. But exactly one minute later, Hillsman called for Minott to sub out, prompting Fondren to start jogging toward the scorer’s table. But Hillsman tapped guard Maggie Morrison to enter the game. Just 29 seconds later, Fondren did come in to replace Alexis Peterson. With eight minutes to go in the half and the score tied at 10, the Bulls ran a full-court press and forced Fondren into her second turnover of the game. Hillsman let off a sheepish smile,

and yelled for “Petey” to re-enter. Moments after checking in, the sophomore hit a pull-up jumper to give the Orange a 12-10 lead. After the game, Fondren said she doesn’t mind Hillsman’s quick substitutions. “I know somebody else is going to come in a do better,” she said. SU subbed 16 times in the second half as the Orange continued to extend its lead.
Four players — Morrison, Diamond Henderson, Amber Witherspoon and Minott — made their SU debuts off the bench. Henderson, a transfer from Tennessee Tech, finished with seven points in 11 minutes. Said Hillsman of his team’s use of the quick rotation: “It was a little sloppy in the first half, but I thought they did a good job.” jmhyber@syr.edu

fordham we kind of took it uphill from there.” Peterson finished with a game-high and career-high 19 points. She was 8-of-13 from the field on a day when No. 24 Syracuse (1-0) shot 33 percent from the field without her. But the Orange still beat Fordham (0-2), 59-42, in its season opener in the Carrier Dome on Sunday. After falling behind late in the first half, Peterson scored the last six points before the break and continued her hot shooting in the second to lead the Orange further and further ahead of the Rams.
Kaleb Joseph took a pass from Cooney for a transition layup and pushed the Orange’s lead to 11 with 14:07 left. After shooting 12-of-29 in the first half, identical to SU, the Pirates made just three out of their first 12 attempts through the opening nine minutes of the second half. “We knew we had to play defense, especially when they started to make it a closer game, and we did that,” Cooney said. When Hampton drew within five points amid a string of three consecutive makes, Cooney
responded with a 3 from the top of the key. It further sparked a Carrier Dome crowd that perked up when its team’s lead had suddenly been cut to five. HU’s Dwight Meikle answered by hitting a floater with 8:20 remaining, but the Pirates wouldn’t score again until the 2:22 mark. Syracuse followed up Meikle’s bucket by trapping Hampton into a timeout, then getting a turnover after that timeout. On the following possession, Powers had to toss up a wild 3 as the shot clock neared expiration. On the next time down the court, Cooney jumped on a long
defensive rebound and pushed it ahead for a transition opportunity. By the time the Pirates finally found the basket again, six of their shots and a free throw had gone awry, the Orange had piled on 10 points and Syracuse was well on its way to a 2-0 start to the season. Said Joseph: “As long as we stay aggressive, stay confident and do what we’re supposed to do, we’ll be able to stay in any game just because our defense, it’s hard to play against.”
“We want to be able to attack in transition and get up and down the floor,” SU head coach Quentin Hillsman said, “and I think Petey did a really good job getting us into our transition offense.” Hillsman said the 5-for-27 shooting start felt like 5-of-227. He told his team at halftime that he didn’t know how to correct the mistakes because they had done everything wrong in the first 20 minutes. After SU guard Brianna Butler banked a driving layup with 15:31 left in the first half, Syracuse missed 10 shots and committed five turnovers before scoring again. Forward Taylor Ford, who had scored SU’s first five points,
took three 3s from the left wing and all of them clanked off the back rim. Hillsman wasn’t sure if it was early-season rust or tired legs, but in the early going his team wasn’t following the score, press, steal blueprint that’s become a staple of Hillsman’s game plan. “It was our first game, we came out a little frazzled,” said Butler, who finished shooting 2-of-9 from the field. “We were out there going hard and we were just playing faster than we usually do. And in the second half, Coach told us you just have to make shots … And we came in the second half and slowed down and made the shots that we usually make.” That second half surge was led by Peter-
son. She stole a pass just 18 seconds into the stanza, drew a foul and connected on both free throws. Seven minutes later she nailed a pullup jumper. A minute later, she hit back-to-back shots to put Syracuse up 10. Last season, Peterson showed flashes of the player that seemed all-but complete on Sunday. Hillsman said she was the most talked-about point guard that played the least minutes. Every press conference he’d say, “Just wait and see.” “It was really exciting,” Peterson said. “We were all ready to play, we were all in it. I was just glad I could step up and help my teammates out.”

there can only be one 2 Kaleb Joseph is SU’s lone natural point guard and it showed Sunday. Michael Gbinije never got terribly comfortable handling the ball and Joseph played the entire second half as a result. Gbinije played forward in the second half and was much better there, scoring eight of his nine points after the break.
Three reasons why Hampton hung with Syracuse on Sunday. hole in the zone Hampton exploited the heart of the Syracuse zone. Rakeem Christmas was slow to step and Chris McCullough got in foul trouble, playing just nine minutes in the second half. The gap in the zone allowed the Pirates to get easy finishes, with 28 of their 47 points coming in the paint.

board buds 3 Syracuse outrebounded Hampton 38-32, hardly dominating the Pirates on the glass. It allowed Hampton to stay with the Orange with a fairly even number of possessions and second chances. It also meant Syracuse couldn’t run all over the Pirates as it often does to early-season opponents.
Christmas had enough rebounds on defense alone to complete his double-double. Adding six on the offensive boards allowed Syracuse to control — though not dominate — the game.

Gbinije returns, struggles at point guard, excels at forward By Jesse Dougherty sports editor
Kaleb Joseph called a play and Michael Gbinije had to rack through his brain before making his next move. In the first half Gbinije replaced Joseph for six minutes and brought the ball up as Syracuse’s 6-foot-7 backup point guard. Early in the second he went back to his natural wing spot, where he’s regularly found. But now Joseph was signaling for an offensive set and Gbinije — as a pseudo power forward — had to blend into his third position of the game. “I’m trying to remember, ‘OK, what’s the forward do?’” Gbinije said after Syracuse’s 65-47 win over Hampton on Sunday afternoon. “At least I was on the court, I’m happy about that, it was a little strange. I wasn’t prepared for it but I just worked with it.” With Chris McCullough in foul trouble and Tyler Roberson not matching up well against the Pirates’ (0-2) zone, Gbinije played the four in a small lineup that helped the No. 23 Orange (2-0) beat Hampton in the Carrier Dome on Sunday. He proved more effective in that role than he was as a point guard in the first half. An 0-for-3 start gave way to a productive second half in which Joseph played all 20 minutes at point guard. After the break, Gbinije shot 3-of-5 from the floor for eight of his nine points and made two big plays that helped Syracuse stave off an early-season upset. “I feel like the second half (Gbinije) made those big plays, big for his confidence,” SU head
coach Jim Boeheim said. “He can score, he’s been scoring, he’s capable of scoring and that’s important for us and for him. We need another guy that can score and I think he can do that.” Gbinije was absent from Syracuse’s season-opening win over Friday, which Boeheim said was due to “team stuff” and not an injury. Gbinije said after the game that it was because of something that happened over the summer and that he wanted to “leave it at that.” After checking in for Joseph with 15:39 left in the first half, Gbinije missed an open 3 on his first possession, before picking up two quick fouls and heading to the bench five minutes later. The first foul gave Hampton’s Deron Powers a three-point play on an up-and-under, and the second came right after Gbinije was stripped by Powers at half court while slowly bringing the ball up. He came into the season saying he’s much more confident at point guard than he was last season, but Gbinije didn’t look comfortable on the court until he was running next to Joseph instead of in place of him. “I did feel a whole lot more aggressive in the second half,” Gbinije said. “It’s two different responsibilities for two different positions.” While his first half was focused on setting up the Syracuse offense, Gbinije’s 17 second-half minutes were committed to sparking it. He worked the ball to shooters Trevor Cooney and B.J. Johnson out of the high post — a spot he said reminds him of high school — and turned and swished a jumper from the top of the key to give the Orange a nine-point cushion

with 14:39 to play. Ten minutes later, Gbinije gathered a loose ball with the shot clock winding down and hit a turnaround jumper through contact. He hit the ensuing free throw to complete a three-point play. With just over a minute left in the game, he hit a 3 from the right wing before throwing his hands below his knees and loafing back on defense like an airplane on cruise control.
Gbinije’s versatility allowed him to play three positions in 23 minutes, the last of which helped bury the Pirates’ comeback bid. But his overall performance showed that his production could be hampered when he’s the one handling the ball. Said Joseph: “From the wing, he can score with the best of them.” jcdoug01@syr.edu | @dougherty_jesse

Syracuse had just clinched its second final four appearance in three penn state 1 seasons. syracuse 3 W i t h crisp passing throughout the team and a quick start, the No. 4 Orange (17-5, 2-4 Atlantic Coast) dominated No. 6 Penn State (16-6, 5-3 Big Ten) for a 3-1 win on Sunday in the quarterfinals of the NCAA tournament at J.S.

im Boeheim’s arms replicated his players’. Straight up. With halftime nearing, Syracuse extended its pressure outside, forced a turnover in front of its head coach and team bench, and got a stop, hinting at what was to come in the second half. It was less of Hampton’s zone-shredding ball movement and more of the Orange’s athleticism on the defensive end. The Pirates scrapped and stayed within an arm’s length for much of Sunday afternoon’s game. But the Syracuse (2-0) defense clamped down in the second half, allowing its offense to pull away for a 65-47 victory in the 2K Classic over the Pirates (0-2) before a Carrier Dome audience of 22,848. “We made some little mistakes that you’re going to make sometimes and allow the game to stay in touch,” Boeheim said. “… We struggled to score for a long time in the second half, but our defense kept us in position to win the game.” Through the opening five minutes, Hampton connected on four of its first seven shots, the last of which was an and-one, fast-break layup by guard Deron Powers. The Orange’s first-half lead didn’t stretch wider than six points until forward Tyler Roberson banked in a last-second shot before halftime. Syracuse’s major source of production through the half was senior Rakeem Christmas. He was 10 points and nine rebounds into his 15-point, 16-rebound performance but was held back slightly by foul trouble due to physicality around the rim. Hampton’s quick ball movement shifted the 2-3 zone and HU’s guards often found enough space for pull-ups or backdoor cutters along the baseline.

But as soon as it began, the Orange seemed like a different team than the one that had just barely defeated Boston University at home on Saturday. About five minutes into the game, freshman Lies Lagerweij fired a ball from just outside SU’s circle to around midfield where fellow freshman Laura Hurff was standing. That pass was followed shortly by another, as Hurff controlled the ball before picking out Russell across the field as see penn
