Tatiana Cadet, another student who had been campaigning as a writein candidate, said she hopes Seedat will fulfill her role as SA president. “It’s more than just a name or a resume builder. It’s easy to assume that once elected the work is done,” Cadet said. “I just hope she follows through with what she addressed in her campaign and takes it a step further with what (the other write-in candidates) addressed as well.” news@dailyorange.com

Aysha Seedat said she woke up Thursday morning and prayed. She was hoping the day would go well. It did. Seedat was elected Student Association president for the 59th Session after a total of 3,426 votes, or 24.1 percent, were cast by the Syracuse University student body. Write-in candidate AJ Abell came in second place, followed by write-in candidates Safet Mesanovic, Tatiana Cadet and Jesse Nichols. Seedat will serve as president for the 2015–16 academic year. Seedat received a phone call around 12:45 a.m. Friday from Janine Bogris, vice chair of elections for SA, who thanked her for running a clean campaign and then notified Seedat and her running mate, Jane Hong, that they had been elected. After being told of the victory,

Nichols added that the campaign was still a victory for him in that he was able to meet more SA members who can continue to help him to implement change within Hendricks Chapel.

screaming and hugging ensued. Current SA President Boris Gresely stopped by the house for a few minutes to congratulate Seedat. Following about a 15-minute celebration in the house on the 800 block of Ackerman Avenue, supporters demolished a television and set off fireworks to show their joy. The 24.1 percent voter turnout falls short of the 31 percent turnout set last year, which stands as a record in SA elections. Seedat, a junior policy studies major, and Hong, a junior broadcast and digital journalism major, ran on a platform of “Safety and Support.” “We’ve really tried to represent the student body in our experiences that we’ve had and through talking with students over the course of the campaign,” she said.

Sunday’s first ever Cuse Conference was a “landmark event,” Chancellor Kent Syverud said. “I’ve learned that this is a student-powered university like no other I have ever seen and that is the strength of this place,” he said during the event. “The communication between all of our niches has at times become old-fashioned and frayed. This is a problem and this is an opportunity for our students to show them we’re moving forward.” The Cuse Conference, held Sunday, worked to bring students, faculty and administration together in the Joyce Hergenhan Auditorium to encourage open dialogue of important issues on the Syracuse University campus. The event was started by the Student

Through a poll conducted by Student Association, students listed issues they felt needed to be discussed by members of every part of SU. Eight issues were chosen by SA to become discussion sessions during The Cuse Conference.

Junior holds classes, teaches art to children By Momin Rafi design editor

For Jake Irvin, art is all about the process — the process of sculpting, disassembling and now, teaching. Over the course of the semester, Irvin, a junior art education major, has taught art workshops to kids ages 9–11 at the Comstock Art Facility on Saturday mornings. The workshop is a part of his Methods and Practice in Teaching Art class. Irvin described a lesson where he brought a typewriter to the workshop and told the students to take it apart and to build something new out of the components. It’s part of a broader goal of the workshops to take high-minded art concepts and break them down to teach children how to engage in them using art. “I think anything with a strong foundation thought-out beforehand, a strong meaning, lends itself to being a strong art piece,” Irvin said. The workshop’s lesson plans were on a tight production schedule. The initial plans would have to be crafted and revised mid-week. Then the class

met on Fridays to finalize the plans for the next day’s workshop. Sometimes it would only take an hour, Irvin said, and sometimes it would take five. “What constantly amazed me is what these kids would come up with,” said Irvin, talking about the art pieces and ideas made by his students. “The constant shock throughout the workshops of what the students came up to me with is the most memorable takeaway.” At the end of the workshops, the students’ pieces were shown in an art gallery, complete with live music, refreshments and a dazzled crowd. “A lot of care was taken to make sure the students’ pieces created a cohesive gallery space,” Irvin said. “And it paid off.” In his own art, Irvin likes to sculpt from various materials, take apart electronics and create installations. Irvin added that it’s also a lot of hands-on work. The art is in the process, and any meaning isn’t immediately apparent. “I like to hint at the meaning,” Irvin said. “But I don’t want to give it away. That’s what it’s all about.” mrafi@syr.edu | @Mominat0r

Attendees discuss environment at Earthfest By Katie Oran contributing writer

Members of the Syracuse community gathered in sunny Thornden Park Sunday to take in free entertainment and speakers for Earthfest, an event hosted by two sustainability organizations to celebrate the planet. Earthfest, which took place in the Thornden Park Amphitheater, was held by Students of Sustainability and the Sustainability Division at Syracuse University. It was in celebration of the 45th Earth Day,

which is on Wednesday. Earthfest “is a place of celebration, innovation, togetherness and hope,” said organizer Christine Edgeworth, a senior geography major. Earthfest aimed to bridge the gap between SU and the surrounding community as the free event was collecting donations for Syracuse Grows, a community organization that is working to create an equal foodscape in central New York. Emma Edwards, a senior geography and policy studies major at SU, said she was at Earthfest

because “it is a really great event that brings together all of the members of the sustainability groups at SU and ESF, along with the local Syracuse community.” This year’s event featured eight local music acts, three local food vendors, five local craft vendors, five speakers from the community, four live painters, an art instillation, 16 student and community organizations tabling and hosting various activities, and other activities such as yoga, henna tattoos, face painting, jewelry making, tie-dye and

interactive murals. Alex Poisson, a graduate student and the sustainability coordinator at SUNY-ESF, said he was glad the event allowed for community members to see the different organizations’ initiatives to make the planet a better place. Students of Sustainability was handing out free water bottles in its campaign to reduce the amount of plastic water bottles that are used on campus, and the group had a free water bottle refilling station set up in the see earthfest page 4

OrangeSeeds event serves Syracuse community By Danny Mantooth asst. copy editor

More than 120 Syracuse University students took part in the largest day of student-organized community service event of the year on Saturday. The day, called “The Big Event,” is organized by OrangeSeeds, a first-year empowerment organization that coordinated the event with the support of the Student Association and its Impact Week. Participants were divided

among 11 different locations across the greater Syracuse community, spanning from the Samaritan Center and Salvation Army to local schools and parks, said Julia Eklund, an OrangeSeed and freshman political science and policy studies major. Eklund said a majority of the service centered on beautification and upkeep of the various locations. Some of the volunteer work included painting, raking leaves and whatever each individual loca-

tion required. Doing community service is sometimes tough because volunteers do not often get to see the results of their work, Eklund said. Tori Cedar, who went to Porter Elementary School in Syracuse, was able to work alongside those who will reap the benefits of her and others’ efforts. Cedar, also an OrangeSeed and a freshman psychology and communication sciences and disorders major, said volunteers cleaned up along-

side students and teachers of the school, which also held its day of service on Saturday. Community service should not be about making the volunteer happy, but rather a natural habit, Cedar said. “I think that’s a really important thing that we did,” she said of interacting with the community. Volunteers were required to be at Schine Student Center at 8:30 a.m. on Saturday in order to disperse to see big

Malik Evans, a sophomore marketing and advertising dual major, said in an email he believes the Resident Hall Association has learned that governance organizations have to take an active role with gathering the student voice and relaying information to faculty, staff and administration in a productive manner. Evans said the event “was a huge step in the right direction.” He said Cuse Conference was successful due to the involvement of administrators, who he said are not normally seen outside of their offices or in predetermined meetings. “With the information I have obtained from the conference, I will make sure that the solutions discussed begin to be put into action,” Evans said.

“I feel like this conversation was a accumulation of ideas mentioned throughout the year.” Brian Cheung, a senior broadcast and digital journalism and finance dual major and columnist for The Daily Orange, hosted the event. The director of The Cuse Conference, Ignacio Nava, a senior international relations major, made introductory remarks during the opening ceremony. SA President Boris Gresely said the organization wanted to plan The Cuse Conference in line with Impact Week, held last week, and to celebrate the end of the academic year. As one of the last SA events he will be a part of before he graduates in May, Gresely has been preparing for The Cuse Conference since he was elected president in 2013. “It means a lot to me. I’ve wanted to do this since I campaigned; to bridge the gap between all three branches (of SU),” Gresely said. “I want this to continue in the future. You can’t promote change if not all three branches will buy into change.” kmfaubel@syr.edu

Paul Ottesen, an author and web coordinator at SUNY-ESF, also spoke about the first Earth Day celebrations. He said that since the first Earth Day, tremendous progress has been made in protecting and improving the environment, such as the amount of pollution and the degradation of our lakes and rivers. However, he said there hasn’t been much progress made on the threat of climate change. kaoran@syr.edu

big event the various locations, Cedar said. In the fall semester, Seeds participated in weekly service that prepared them for organizing their own campus-wide day of community service, said Ben Bacolores, a member of the OrangeSeeds executive board. OrangeSeeds formed three committees, one each for logistics, community relations and marketing, said Bacolores. Each committee organized a different aspect of the day, he explained. The community relations committee reached out to organizations in the community to coordinate locations, the

logistics committee organized transportation and meals and the marketing committee put together campaigns to get students involved. Even as a freshman, Bacolores said, “you have the power to make an impact, you have the power to help people.” Eklund added that OrangeSeeds is very happy with the turnout and even more so with the work volunteers performed on Saturday during the service event. “The fact that every year we get a consistent turnout of over 100 students, I think it speaks to how great the program is and how much Syracuse students love going out and doing community service,” Eklund said. dmantoot@syr.edu

editorial board

Cuse Conference highlights SA’s purpose The Cuse Conference is a prime example of the type of initiative the Student Association should organize. Efforts like these should not stop, though the next Cuse Conference should take place earlier in the academic year. SA, in partnership with the State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry Undergraduate Student Association, Graduate Student Organization and Residence Hall Association, organized the first event of its kind to bridge the gap between students, faculty, staff/ administrators. The event was organized by students and attended by administrators. Ideally this is the direction cross-campus discussions will take in the future. It was an opportunity to link groups on campus and give members of the general student

body the uncommon chance to directly communicate with campus leadership. SA President Boris Gresely had been working to put on this event since he was campaigning for office in 2013. It’s good to see that his plan came to fruition. This forum brought the campus community together to discuss persisting issues. But since it happened so late in the year, this momentum could be lost over the summer. In the future, it would be better if The Cuse Conference occurred early in the fall semester to lay the groundwork for future events where different RSOs can work with one another. The Cuse Conference honed in on two recurring problems that face SU: “a disunited student body who often duplicates efforts and cannot properly assemble or follow through,” and, “a lack of efficient,

reliable and trustable avenue for students to provide feedback into university operations.” Students across campus were invited to discuss a multitude of topics ranging from Student-to-Student Accountability for Sexual Consent to Restructuring RSO System Engagement. The SU Task Force identified these topics by evaluating what concerns were most discussed by student leaders, THE General Body and a survey. Moving forward, these problems must be kept in mind and addressed. This forum was a great first step. Now, SA and the groups involved need to take the contributions from this meeting and turn them into concrete changes that will affect the SU community for years to come.

Thwarting hackers should be major concern for companies in future

ast week, Target agreed to pay MasterCard $19 million following a 2013 data breach that affected 40 million credit and debit card users. In an age where hackers are getting smarter and electronic payments are getting more popular, it should be retailers’ top priority to spend the extra money and fortify their data protection systems. The Target lawsuit is the latest settlement in a string of data hacks in the past couple years, hitting companies like Jimmy John’s, Staples and Michaels. Last year, Home Depot had data from 56 million credit and debit cards stolen. The trend even extends beyond credit and debit card information.

i’m a business, man JPMorgan Chase, the nation’s largest bank when measured in assets. And New York state even admitted that over the course of eight years, hackers stole the private records of 22.8 million New Yorkers. The most notable hack as of late has been Sony, which lost over 47,000 social security numbers and countless emails and documents in a highly publicized mess that involved U.S.North Korea relations and the Seth Rogen and James Franco movie “The Interview.” It’s hard to quantify the financial costs to a company for breaches like these because they often Asst.

involve the theft of information, not tangible assets. But as seen by the Target lawsuit, credit card companies do incur costs associated with issuing customers new cards and covering any fraudulent transactions made with the stolen data. Credit cards are hoping to pass those costs along to the breached retailers in court and getting some compensation. In the case of Target, those payouts added up to $19 million, although some banks seemed to think that those costs should have been much higher. But for a company with a market cap valuation of $51 billion, $19 million is a drop in the bucket. And the cost of Sony’s disastrous hack? The company estimates $35 million in losses to “restore financial and

IT systems,” which is also a minor setback for a company that made $75 billion in revenue last year. For the time being, it seems as if retailers are more concerned with coping with the costs than investing into future protection. In a message from Target CEO Gregg Steinhafel, the company emphasized that it was conducting a thorough investigation and provided free credit monitoring services to those impacted. There were no mentions of any preventative actions to be taken in the future. Investors don’t seem to be concerned with the risk of hacks either. In its most recent quarter, Target beat expectations on its earnings per share, and saw an increase in sales of over a billion dollars. These

positive results have kept investors optimistic about Target, choosing to ignore the potential financial impacts of future hacks. Hackers will get smarter and the stakes will get bigger. As the Sony hacks showed, customer information isn’t the only thing at risk — employee information is at risk as well. There will come a time when pressure from customers, employees and investors will increase the pressure to better security systems. Until then, maybe we’re better off just using cash.

t SUNY-ESF, the week leading up to Earth Day is filled with a wide variety of activities. Earth Day, which will be held Wednesday, is a worldwide event to show support for environmental sustainability. The past week has been filled with activities, speakers and events that encourage the Syracuse University and State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry community to celebrate and appreciate environmental protection.

the Students of Sustainability at SU, the SU Sustainability Division and the Syracuse Chapter of the New York Public Interest Research Group. Sarah Hamilton, a freshman in the College of Arts and Sciences at SU, attended Earthfest for the first time. She said she was excited to leave her dorm, unwind and appreciate the atmosphere.. She said she enjoyed the environmental aspect of the day and felt that it was successful in raising awareness. “I learned a lot about new clubs that are starting up and trying to be active in the Syracuse community,” Hamilton added. Sean Conrey, a part-time assistant professor of English at SU, was in attendance at Earthfest and he said he believed it was a perfect day and a chance to bring his kids out and let them see what’s going on, and to show that other people are concerned about it.

Conrey said the event allowed the public to recognize the importance of environmental protection and sustainability. “It makes the obvious more obvious for some of us, but allows others who don’t think about this stuff often to do so,” he said. Conrey added that there were many important benefits to hosting events like Earth Week such as building a community and allowing people to get together, raising awareness and encouraging activists and people involved in political action to create an occasion where everyone is doing something other than politicking. For others, the focus of the week

is more on uniting the two schools, SU and SUNY-ESF, and allowing students a time to appreciate the sun.

Nicholas Sessler, a senior in the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications, said he believes that the ambiance of the events held during

Earth Week is largely positive and beneficial. “There are so many bad vibes and events like Earth Week really bring in the good vibes,” Sessler said. Earth Week will conclude on Wednesday with 12 activities planned on the SUNY-ESF campus, including yoga on the Quad in the morning and a documentary screening about the removal of dams. Earth Day has been carefully planned by organizations such as the Green Campus Initiative, a student run environmental sustainability club, which aims to make every week like Earth Week. acalwis@syr.edu

arm in arm Relay For Life took place at the Carrier Dome this weekend, starting on Saturday at 6 p.m. and ending Sunday at 6 a.m. Here are the stories of some participants who were at the event: TAYLOR NANZ junior international relations and spanish dual major “I am participating in Relay For Life because I lost a loved one to cancer, and I think it’s really important to take the time to recognize them and take a moment to remember their presence. It’s really important to participate in things like Relay For Life because it brings the community together as a whole to celebrate the people around you and the company and it actually makes a difference. It brings happiness to people who are survivors.”

RACHEL LOCKHART sophomore magazine journalism and psychology dual major “I’m relaying for my mom this year. She was diagnosed with skin cancer last year, and thank goodness she’s OK. It’ll be one year cancer-free in a month, so I’m really excited about that. I think it’s really important that everyone participates in an event like this because cancer is something that impacts so many people. I think everyone I know has been affected by cancer in some way, whether it be family or friends.”

KEVIN YEUNG sophomore economics major “There’s a lot of people in the world who suffer from unfortunate diseases such as cancer. I myself have experienced a friend having cancer and him overcoming that. There needs to be more awareness about the situation because if there’s more awareness there’s more support. Support is needed in order for them to overcome the challenges that come with the disease.”

Scribbled with blue marker on his left arm, each line paid tribute to one of Mark Frazier’s best friends, who is a bone cancer survivor. “When he was diagnosed with bone cancer, he got a lot of support,” said Frazier, a freshman forest resources management major at the State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry. “He ended up having to get all of his bone marrow pulled out of his leg. He survived but he couldn’t run anymore. So me and my friends decided that we were going to put together a Relay team for him.” At 1:40 a.m. Sunday, the final five tickmarks were added to Frazier’s arm as he and Peter LeDuc finished a 26.2-mile marathon around the Dome. The night wasn’t for them, though. It was for Frazier’s friend Ryan Euler and all the people who struggle with the effects of cancer, Frazier said. The event, which is held nationwide and sponsored by the American Cancer Society, worked to raise awareness about cancer and fundraise for cancer research.

JENN CASTRO By Sara Swann asst. news editor

enn Castro spent eight hours during her first day at Syracuse University decorating her dorm room in Haven Hall. And the decorations put up during that time don’t even account for half of the current decorations that can be found on the floor, walls and ceiling of her room. Castro applied to 12 different colleges and universities, mostly in the Boston area where she is from, before she chose to go to SU. She said it “was definitely the school spirit that brought (her) here.” She said when she visited the campus for an accepted students’ spring reception in 2014, she fell in love with the university instantly. “This is the only school that when I opened (the acceptance letter), I got the chills,” said Castro, a freshman marketing management and advertising dual major. “I knew that was kind of a deciding factor.” Staci Downing, Castro’s roommate, said the two of them had planned to decorate their room in Haven with SU items before moving in, but Castro went “above and beyond with it.”

Castro and Downing found each other on Facebook. They met in person for the first time on an accepted students day, where they decided to request each other as roommates. “I love it, even though there’s a ton of orange in our room,” said Downing, a freshman sport management major. “It just shows how much she loves Syracuse. Everyone who comes to visit is like ‘Oh my God, this is incredible.’” Last fall, Castro went a few hours early to the Carrier Dome for her first football game just to watch the players warm up. She said since she knew a few of the football players, she gave them pep talks via text messages before the game began. Since then, Castro has never missed a home football game. And she made it to every home basketball game except for one because of an exam the next day. But even Castro’s case of pneumonia didn’t stop her from attending the SU men’s basketball game versus Duke University on Feb. 14. “When I woke up, I didn’t think I could go to this game,” Castro said. “I was so sick, but I said to myself, ‘This only happens four times in my life.’” She stood outside the Carrier Dome, wrapped

in blankets from 10 a.m. to around 2 p.m. when the doors opened. Despite her illness, Castro — who sat in the third row for the game — was bursting with excitement. Castro said later that day, she went home to Boston, where she went to an urgent care facility. But to her, spending 12 hours near the Dome that day was “totally worth it.”

So, when the SU men’s basketball team was sanctioned by the NCAA, Castro struggled to come to terms with the situation. “It killed me inside, just like sanction after sanction,” Castro said. “SportsCenter, Twitter, everything just blew up over the past couple months, and it’s just been so hard.”

Castro’s roommate said she wasn’t with her when the sanctions dropped. But Downing knew Castro was upset because she was texting, calling, sending Snapchats and tweeting about the news. “Even people back home were messaging me and asking how I was doing and I just said ‘I don’t know,’” Castro said. “This is more intense than anything I’ve ever experienced in my life. I’ve been through sports injuries in high school, but this is just a devastating blow.” Noah Pietraszewski, a freshman mechanical engineering major, recalled when he and Castro were on Marshall Street and Castro was asked to be interviewed about the NCAA sanctions. “I knew she was holding back tears during (the interview),” Pietraszewski said. “She’s just so passionate, especially about basketball.” Kelsey Fowler, one of Castro’s Gamma Phi Beta sorority sisters, said she originally thought Castro was a “serious lunatic” because of her SU spirit. “She’s an SU lunatic, but I love her for it,” aid Fowler, a sophomore political science and geography dual major. She perfectly embodies everything that makes up an SU fan.” smswann@syr.edu | @saramswann

WHO IS SYRACUSE?

JOSEPH FANELLI, an instructor in SU’s child and family studies department, has been teaching auditorium-sized sections on human sexuality for more than 30 years. In that time, he’s taught more than 40,000 students. The positive effect he has on students is what has stuck with him throughout the years. sam maller and drew osumi staff photographers

JOSEPH FANELLI By Jake Cappuccino asst. copy editor

ne student called Joseph Fanelli the Mr. Rogers of human sexuality. Whether they were identifying his plain sweaters, friendly demeanor or straightforward ways of teaching, it’s clear Fanelli has similar qualities to the popular children’s TV host, which might seem unusual given what Fanelli teaches at SU. Fanelli, an instructor in SU’s child and family studies department, has been teaching human sexuality for more than 30 years. In that time, he’s taught more than 40,000 students at SU. He’s always lived in central New York, but his path to teaching was anything but conventional. “Looking at it, I think to myself now, life is an interesting journey. You have to be thoughtful about it, but you have to be flexible because it never works out the way you expect it,” Fanelli said. Fanelli was going to be a priest. He grew up in Endicott, New York in a conservative Catholic-Italian family. He went on to receive his Masters of Divinity, the penultimate step in becoming a priest, but, in one of the hardest decisions of his life,

Fanelli decided not to become ordained as a priest. He decided he wanted to make his own ministry. A friend suggested that he enroll in SU’s new master’s program for marriage and family therapy. “That’s what I was interested in. Marriage and family therapy is all about relationships,” Fanelli said. “So I went from an I-Thou relationship to an I-You relationship, and I really loved it.”

WHAT A GIG. I GET PAID TO TALK ABOUT SEX. Joseph Fanelli su instructor

When he evaluated programs, he met Sol Gordon, an SU professor who previously taught human sexuality. Gordon, who died in 2008, took an interest in Fanelli and became his mentor. The relationship turned Fanelli toward the human sexuality topics that he’s now known for at SU. “All that sex stuff, it was the last thing in the world I had any thought of doing,” Fanelli said.

SU instructor reflects on time spent teaching, love of university

“My interest was family counseling and therapy. With Sol, it was a brand new opened door.” In 1984, four years after he completed his doctorate, he got the call from SU to see if he would take over the retiring Gordon’s human sexuality course. “I’m thinking, ‘You’ve got to be sh*tting me. I’m supposed to get on stage and just start lecturing?’” Fanelli said. “The only course I ever taught was when I was in the seminary, and I had a class of fourth graders who were deaf.” And yet students have been responding to Fanelli ever since. Throughout his 31-year career, he went from one section of 300–400 students to two sections of human sexuality per semester. Though SU has meant a lot to Fanelli, it’s the effect he can have on students that sticks with him. As a part of the course on human sexuality, students must submit a personal reflection at the end. Fanelli jokes that in his wallet, he’s not carrying a condom, but a crinkled piece of paper. On it a student wrote, “(Human sexuality) is about the love that we feel for the people in our lives … This class did exactly what it set out to do: it showed me how to better love the people in my life, and how to show them that I love them.”

It’s that type of reaction and the hope to help students with their emotional awareness that fuels Fanelli and keeps alive his love for SU. “The Orange has been really good to me and my class. What a gig. I get paid to talk about sex,” Fanelli said. “It’s the coolest thing.” But SU isn’t important to just Fanelli — his family has ties to the university, too. His wife Jenny and his youngest son graduated from SU. When his twin granddaughters were born, Fanelli bought SU-branded outfits for them. “SU is very much a part of the fabric of our family. It’s part of who we are and what we do,” Jenny Fanelli said. “His goal is make everybody laugh, but he takes that very seriously and he works very hard on making classes engaging and informative.” As much as he has become a part of the university, the university has become a part of him too. “My next car is going to be a Subaru XV Crosstrek because they have orange, the only orange car I could find. My patio furniture is orange. I even painted my fire hydrant orange,” Fanelli said. “I’ve been on campus since ’74. Syracuse has been a significant part of my life.” acappucc@syr.edu | @Jake_Cappuccino

VIET-NOM NOM NOM

Ky Duyen Cafe offers variety of traditional Vietnamese cuisine for affordable prices By Rose Aschebrock staff writer

y Duyen Cafe, a Vietnamese-style restaurant, serves up a variety of traditional sandwiches out of a red streetcar cafe placed inside the building. You walk into the cafe from one of two doors, lined with potted plants. To the righthand side of the room is an assortment of seating and a large flat screen TV. There is also a large disco light in the ceiling. To the center is the cafe where you can order the authentic Vietnamese sandwiches, called banh mi thit. Banh mi thit is a meat-filled sandwich on a single-serve baguette that became a popular Vietnamese meal during the colonial French era. Ky Duyen Cafe offers five versions of these sandwiches, all $5, and they can be ordered mild, medium or hot. I ordered the three most popular ones. The standard banh mi thit, which is filled with grilled pork, Vietnamese sausage, mayonnaise, ground pork paste, pickled carrot-daikon, cucumber and cilantro. The banh mi thit nguoi was made with cold meat, Vietnamese sausage, mayonnaise, ground pork paste, pickled carrot-daikon, cucumber and cilantro. The banh mi nem nuong was made with barbeque pork, mayonnaise, ground pork paste, picked carrot-daikon, cucumber and cilantro. The sandwiches were huge; the bread was crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside — a perfect baguette. It was just a little difficult, due to the size, to fit into your mouth in one bite. The cilantro and cucumber combination was really fresh and the pickled carrot added a nice crunch that paired well with the bread. The banh mi nem nuong was my favorite, since the barbeque pork added a really nice smoky sweetness to the sandwich. But the meat, while generously served, looked a little questionable. As long as you didn’t overthink it, the meat tasted good, and it fortunately did not leave my tummy feeling unsettled. While ordering, I also noticed a lady eating a noodle soup and I inquired about it. I was told it was pho soup, and although not on the menu, is always available for $9.

Pho is a Vietnamese noodle soup with a simple broth filled with rice noodles, herbs and meat. It also contained spring onions, regular onions, mint and bean sprouts, Vietnamese sausage and some meatballs. I was told the meat should arrive slightly undercooked with the idea that it will continue cooking in the broth. If you like your meat medium to well done, you should push it to the bottom of the dish. Due to the simple flavor of the soup it is common to add both hot and hoisin sauce. Chopsticks are used to pull the noodles from the soup. It was warm, filling and satisfying — a delicious bowl of comfort. I don’t know if I would ever make a point to go back specifically for the quality or taste of the food. But if you ever find yourself hungry in the area, it is a colorful, balanced and generous meal for your money. rlascheb@syr.edu

Unforced errors cost Orange in loss to GT By Michael Burke staff writer

Trailing 3-0 and 40-15 in her opening set against Georgia Tech’s Rasheeda McAdoo, Syracuse’s Rhiann Newborn backpedaled to hit a backhand groundgeorgia tech 5 stroke. The shot hit syracuse 2 the top of the net and dribbled back toward Newborn, causing SU’s third singles player to stare at the ground before swinging her racket against the air. The sequence summed up a day of unforced errors that plagued SU (8-12, 3-11 Atlantic Coast) throughout its 5-2 loss to No. 25 Georgia Tech (13-8, 9-5) at Drumlins Tennis Center on Sunday. “I thought we played a complete match,” head coach Younes Limam said. “I thought we fought really hard from start to finish. Unforced errors are just a part of tennis.” Down 7-4 in the eight-game pro set, the doubles team of Komal Safdar and Valeria Salazar had two opportunities at game point. They squandered both by making unforced errors, first at 40-30 and later at advantage. Georgia Tech’s Paige Hourigan and Kendal Woodard ultimately won the set and thus the match. Two courts to their left, SU’s Breanna Bachini and Nicole Mitchell trailed 6-5 to McAdoo and Johnnise Renaud. At 30-30, Mitchell committed back-to-back unforced errors by hitting a volley

ziegler made a save on a high shot, SU ran the length of the field. Attack Halle Majorana sent a pass from the left side of the Albany crease and attack Kayla Treanor couldn’t corral the pass on the right side. Instead she picked up the loose ball as it rolled away and fired it to Ziegler, who buried a shot from the front of the crease. When she was one-on-one with defenders, she used a jab step to draw defenders one way before she moved the other way. She buried a free-position shot to give SU a 12-8 lead and, as she ran off the field, fist bumped associate head coach Regy Thorpe and hugged teammate Ella Thorpe. Albany head coach John Battaglino said the Great Danes played Ziegler well, and

long and a return into the net. Georgia Tech then took the next game to win the match, 8-5. In singles play, Newborn rebounded after trailing 4-0 by winning two games. But trailing 4-2, she hit two consecutive forehands into the net, falling into a 5-2 hole that proved to be insurmountable. “I hate making unforced errors,” Newborn said. “It’s the worst thing, because you give away games and you give away too many points.” On the court to Newborn’s right, Amanda

Rodgers was struggling with unforced errors as well. In a crucial spot at 3-3 in the first set, Rodgers hit two straight shots into the net to begin the game. The senior paused and yelled to herself, “Stop hitting it into the net.” Unable to follow her own directions, she hit another shot into the net while trailing 40-15, allowing Renaud to take a 4-3 lead in the set.

Rodgers won the next three games to take the set, but unforced errors again troubled her in the second. Down 5-3, she committed five of them in one game and lost the set, 6-3. “I was making unforced errors because I felt a little rushed from her game,” said Rodgers, a former contributing writer for The Daily Orange. “She hit the ball really hard and flat… and there was nothing I could do about it.” She limited her errors in the third set, which she won 7-5. Her teammates also played three set matches, but were not as fortunate. After splitting the first two sets with Hourigan at second singles, Salazar trailed 5-2 and was down match point in the third set when she hit a forehand into the net, dropping the set. Against Natasha Prokhnevska at fourth singles, Bachini won the first set, 6-1. She trailed 6-5 and 30-40 in the second set when she hit a backhand into the net, sending the match to a third set. Later down match point in the final set, Bachini hit a forehand wide from the baseline. She placed her hands on her head as Prokhnevska celebrated, having just won the match, 1-6, 7-5, 6-0. Limam watched from court three, where Rodgers was still playing, as Bachini’s match finished. Syracuse had lost its final regular-season match, one full of unforced errors. Said Limam: “Sometimes when you’re aggressive, you’re going to make a few errors.”

Albany players were positioned correctly, but Ziegler just managed to get her stick free from checks. “I don’t know if she missed, did she?” Battaglino said. “… You tip your hat to her.” Against Albany, Ziegler scored on both her free-position shots and five of her seven shots. SU had not converted above 45 percent of its shots in its last three games and scored on just seven of its 25 free-position shots. Ziegler’s efficient performance helped SU make half of its shots and more than half of its free positions. “I think it was all mental really,” Ziegler said. “I think just knowing that it’s Senior Day, it’s your last guaranteed home game in the Dome, you just gotta dig deep and just go hard.” cjlibona@syr.edu — Staff Writer Jon Mettus contributed reporting to this article.

rowing she’s the only remaining walk-on member of her 2011 class to be on the team. That’s because the team has consistently grown more competitive, with athletes who had the ability in previous years harshly being cut for younger, better candidates. Still, many of the athletes don’t come in with a background in the sport. Now, two regattas into its spring season — the latest one being Sunday in Clemson, South Carolina — the fall tryout cycle will once again get to show its benefits on the water. “We’re looking for women who are unafraid to go,” head coach Justin Moore said. “Women who like to train and women who really want to be part of an environment where the team is bigger than them, their crew is bigger than them. Not somebody who wants to be the star.” It’s a roster of 56 with only 20 scholarships to earn. Moore recruits athletes he thinks fit the mold, but many must come just from trying people out. The 60 quickly whittles down to 30, Moore says, noting that half of them “self-select” while the rest continue the tryout process that lasts for more than a month, and a crop of walk-ons forms. And those 20 scholarships — the most allowed

in Division I rowing — become a source of competition to earn. Ludovici walked on when she was a freshman. But as a senior, she’s getting a full ride — as has everyone else in the first varsity eight boat. Moore said he likes to at least give partial scholarships, but make that top boat a reason for competition for everyone else. “Rowing is a late onset sport. Whereas like swimming and gymnastics are really early onset sports,” Moore said. “Fifty percent of our women were pretty good athletes in other sports and rowing was just the path that they chose because I think it provided the most opportunity.” But those opportunities are now becoming fewer and farther between. Ludovici said more and more the coaches have had to cut athletes that have already been on the roster. “The coaches kind of had to step in and say, ‘These are hard and fast standards and no matter what, if you can’t make them, we’re sorry we can’t have you back,’” Ludovici said. “There have been more substantial cuts as the years have gone on. “Some people do everything they can to try and make this team, and it’s just not enough.” One was Ludovici’s sister, Mary Ludovici, who didn’t have the same 5-foot-11 frame. Ludovici said her sister was upset to not make the roster, but instead became a captain on the dance team.

It’s a ruthless yet extremely calculated effort to find the best athletes. Assistant coach Jim Lister has been yelled at for trying to take all the best Australian athletes when he’s recruiting Down Under. He spent 17 days there in February, reaching

out to rowers he’d heard of and keeping his eye out for more. “They’ve been coming up to us and saying ‘Hey, there’s a girl that I rowed with that just made the junior national team,’” Lister said. “So we’re getting some of that. And the other part is we’re going down to the boathouses and jumping in the launch with the coaches and

establishing a relationship.” But for the Orange’s 11 international rowers, or ones plucked straight off the Quad, the expectation is the same. Moore says his sport, like anything, is a craft. He speaks in inspirational clichés. And he trusts in the Malcolm Gladwell belief that you can become great at anything if you devote 10,000 hours to it. He knows that the Saturday morning regatta doesn’t draw the crowd of the Friday night football game in the Carrier Dome. He knows it takes a special type of person to set their alarm to a time that starts with 4 a.m. And Moore is on a perpetual, never-ending search to find that type of person, wherever they may come from and in whatever form. “Unlike football, unlike basketball, unlike sports with defense, our sport is just physical,” Moore said. “Nobody is trying to prevent us from trying to achieve our goal. It is just how hard can you go. How well trained are you, how physically prepared are you? How technically proficient? And how much are you willing to hurt? “If you can get somebody to engage incredibly deeply for a long period of time, they’re going to become excellent at it.” sblum@syr.edu | @SamBlum3

albany minutes. Without senior captain Mallory Vehar, who left the game with just more than 19 minutes left in the first half after receiving her second yellow card, the defense struggled early on, but made key stops late. After Albany tied up the game at 12 with 11:42 left, the SU defense discussed associate head coach Regy Thorpe’s go-to phrase “calm is contagious,” defender Brenna Rainone said. SU goalie Kelsey Richardson made two saves down the stretch, one with her body and one with her stick. With just under five minutes left, Albany had a chance to tie the game, but SU’s Kelsey Youmell forced a turnover. During the ensuing clear, Thorpe cupped his hands around his mouth while

yelling commands with the game still on the line. Moments after Gait told his Orange to “just hold it,” Riley Donahue charged toward the net and shot, but the ball was saved and it deflected into the air. It was caught by an Albany defender, but attack Kailah Kempney checked it out of her stick and back into the air. Donahue then scooped the ball in for the Orange’s final goal — a crazy sequence punctuating a back-and-forth game that had seven ties. Though each of the last two goals were scored differently, both of them differed from SU’s recent tendencies. “The final goal was just a bounce our way, which hasn’t happened much this year,” Gait said, “and it was nice to get one, finally.” pmschwed@syr.edu | @pschweds — Staff Writer Jon Mettus contributed reporting to this article.

SU rowing uses walk-on talent to help raise profile of program By Sam Blum asst. sports editor

my Ludovici was walking across the Syracuse Quad when she heard someone quickly jogging up from behind her. Andrea Buch tapped Ludovici on the shoulder and handed her a flier. “’Hey, you look like a great ath-

lete,’” Ludovici recalls Buch, then a Syracuse assistant rowing coach, telling her. “’You should come to this.’” On the Quad next to them was a boat. The same type the SU rowing team practices with and races in. Around it were about 10 athletes and assistant coaches all watching and tracking down women they thought looked athletic. The purpose was to find the next

crop of Syracuse rowing walk-ons. “Leaving competitive sports, I needed, I missed that involvement in something, or being with other people with a similar mindset,” Ludovici said. “It didn’t take much convincing at all.” Ludovici — a basketball player in high school — soon became one of about 60 women to be invited to try out for SU’s rowing team. Many had no background in the sport. Some had what it took to make the roster. Others did not. Now a senior, Ludovici said see rowing page 14

Ziegler tallies 5 goals for Orange in Senior Day win By Chris Libonati staff writer

With Syracuse down a goal and 30 seconds left in the first half, midfielder Loren Ziegler cut from left to right across the field with the ball, fell and fired a shot past Albany goalie Courtney Henderson.

SU head coach Gary Gait greeted Ziegler with a smile and a fist bump, and Mallory Vehar said, “That was sick,” to her on the sideline. The goal was Ziegler’s fourth of the game and helped SU go into the locker room with the game tied. The rest of the SU (11-6, 3-4 Atlantic Coast) offense con-

verted on just three of its 11 firsthalf shots, but Ziegler stepped up. She scored four first-half goals, more than she had scored in her first three years at SU total. The senior’s five tallies led the No. 9 Orange to its 14-12 win over No. 19 Albany (11-3, 4-1 America East) on Senior Day in the Carrier Dome.

Ziegler was one of just three Orange players to score in the first half. “Nothing like a senior stepping up on Senior Day like Loren Ziegler,” Gait said. “Five goals, a career high. Not a better day to do it.” Ziegler kicked off the scoring for SU. After goalie Kelsey Richardson

the Orange earlier this season. “In the past, we’d have that same opportunity and we’d throw it in the goalie’s stick,” Gait, the SU head coach, said. “Today she buried it.” Thanks to Bodt’s goal with seven minutes left, No. 9 SU (11-6, 3-4 Atlantic Coast) beat No. 19 Albany (11-3, 4-1 America East) 14-12 on Sunday in the Carrier Dome on Senior Day in front of 997. Despite blowing a four-goal lead in the second half, SU came away with the two-goal win. SU was winless in its past three games decided by fewer than three goals, but the slump finally ended. “We keep talking about answering a run and stepping up,” Gait said. Treanor dished out four assists, including the pass to a cutting Bodt, who shot sidearm from the top of the 8-meter arc into the top right corner for the game-winner. Treanor’s four assists tied a season-high, a testament to SU’s evolving offense, which includes setting up other teammates when Treanor is covered. “We really focused on popping out and helping her and getting the pressure off her,” senior Loren Ziegler, said. “And I think we did really well with that today.” While Bodt gets the recognition for scoring the game’s most important goal, it was Syracuse’s defense that also made crucial contributions in the final 10 see albany page 15
