Fast Forward Syracuse seeks input from SU community

We all come to SU for our own reasons, but once we arrive we find community. What works? What just doesn’t? We can do a far better job tackling these hard questions together than we can on our own. Fast Forward is everyone’s chance to make this place a little better than we found it.

In June, Chancellor Kent Syverud announced the start of Fast Forward Syracuse, a university-wide initiative to determine what Syracuse University should focus on and how it needs to improve in the future. The initiative has three parts: the Strategic Plan focused on academics, the Campus Master Plan focused on SU’s infrastructure and the Operational Excellence Program focused on finances.

Throughout the process, SU is looking for community input. The last campus forum was held last week but community members can still submit input on the Campus Master Plan until Friday and on the overall initiative through the end of October.

“

Our university is going to change because of Fast Forward, and I want students to be at the forefront of this change. We want the best experience and education we can get, and we’ll only get that if we are deeply involved in planning these changes. Fast Forward will transform the university we all attend — let’s make sure it transforms into the university we want.

TERMS TO KNOW

WORKING GROUPS As part of the development of a strategic plan, SU has created seven work groups, with 12–15 members each, to explore various areas in which the university can improve.

The seven work groups are:

Community examines possible harassment policy changes

By Rachel Gilbert contributing writer

Following a resolution passed by Student Association last week supporting changes to Syracuse University’s harassment policy, some mem-

bers of the SU community said the proposal is a positive step to make the current policy more specific.

The proposal, written by Zachary Greenberg, a student in the SU College of Law, suggested changes to the university’s definition of

harassment in relation to computing and electronics. Greenberg said the wording of SU’s current harassment policy is imposing upon students’ right to free speech. Greenberg’s resolution suggests that the policy’s use of the terms “annoying”

and “offensive” is “vague”, “overly broad” and “subjective”.

Greenberg added that the policy may be a university form of a power play with its students, allowing SU to punish students for any form of harassment as defined in the current

policy. Greenberg said he is hopeful that the passing of his proposed resolution is the first step toward the policy being amended.

The resolution passed by SA aims to eliminate the words “annoying”and see policy page 4

Karate teaches student responsibility, respect

By Alex Erdekian asst. copy editor

Kick, block, strike.

It’s not every day you meet a student who has mastered the martial art of karate.

Alex Szuba, a sophomore wildlife science major at State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry, is a member of Syracuse University’s Shotokan club, which practices the traditional Shotokan style of karate.

Szuba was encouraged to join the Shotokan club by the instructor, Brian Kellogg, who knows Szuba’s sensei from Webster, New York.

“I think one of my favorite moments (practicing karate) was when my sensei was telling all the other kids I was teaching that day that I would be testing for my black belt,” Szuba said. “He made it sound like I had already achieved it.”

Szuba has been training in the Shotokan style since he was 7 years old. Now, he has a black belt and works as a kids’ karate instructor at Bay View Family YMCA in Webster.

Throughout his years of training, Karate has taught Szuba several life lessons. He said both teaching and learning have helped him understand respect and responsibility.

He emphasized the importance of responsibility in karate because of the dangerous nature of the sport.

“You’re picking up all these techniques that in a sense are used to hurt people, but you use them in a way that you’re avoiding hurting people,” Szuba said.

Another thing Szuba learned specifically from teaching karate is the importance of teaching to each student’s unique learning style.

“Everyone learns differently,” Szuba said. “When working with the kids, some of them get it right way.

Others, you have to show them and walk them through the movements.

And others you have to come at them so their face lights up, and they go ‘Oh, that’s why I’m doing that move.’”

In the future, Szuba hopes to continue teaching, increase the degree of his black belt and try learning different styles of karate. aerdekia@syr.edu

SU community in Hong Kong reacts to protests contributing writer

Despite student-led protests in Hong Kong pushing for democracy, the Syracuse University study abroad program in Hong Kong has not been affected.

Over the past few weeks, protesters in Hong Kong have been demanding a free vote in the election of Hong Kong’s new leader in 2017. Hong Kong is one of eight center-based programs that SU Abroad offers.

Jennifer Horvath, the manager of marketing and communications for SU Abroad, said the protests never came close to where the SU students lived. There are about 45 SU students in Hong Kong now and there has been only one call from a concerned parent, she said.

Horvath added that the SU Abroad office is posting on their Facebook page about the protests and proactively communicating

EDM group Cash Cash will headline the second show of this year’s Bandersnatch Concert Series, University Union announced on Twitter Sunday night.

The show will take place on Nov. 12 in the Schine Underground. Tickets for the show will go on sale Monday at the Schine Box Office. Tickets cost $5 and are available to Syracuse University and State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry students.

Doors for the event will open at 7 p.m.

Cash Cash has been invited to tour with EDM artists Afrojack and Calvin Harris and pop artists Ariana Grande and Jennifer Lopez. The group’s song, “Take Me Home” peaked at No. 57 on the Billboard Hot 100.

with everyone about the issue, parents included.

Jacob Reynolds, a junior broadcast and digital journalism major who is currently studying abroad in Hong Kong, said in an email that none of his classes have been canceled nor has his schedule changed due to protests.

As several of our professors have said, we are witnessing history.

Jacob Reynolds su junior studying in hong kong

“We have received a few emails from the program director here to stay away from protest areas but otherwise life has continued as usual,” he said.

James Sung, a professor who teaches at the SU Abroad center in

Hong Kong, said the cause of the protests is democracy.

“There is a clash between the central and local government because the people want quick democracy, especially the younger generation,” Sung said. “The top leader in Hong Kong believes this should be handled carefully and be considered cautiously by the central government because if they move too fast it will have a negative effect over China.”

The police have used tear gas against the student-led protests, which had not been done since 2005, Sung said. The protests were supposed to last about two to three weeks, but the students are more radical than what Hong Kong expected, Sung added.

Sung said the protesters do not seem to understand that the Hong Kong government is local and they do not have the power to make a

decision for the whole political system, they need permission from central authority. Eventually, there will be democracy in Hong Kong but it cannot happen overnight, he said.

Reynolds said that SU students abroad aren’t being bombarded or dragged into the protests. Reynolds added that he was in Mong Kok recently, and could see the protest area.

“If anything I was somewhat surprised by the lack of activity. We could not see that clearly since our professor didn’t want us too close, but it was not as active as I was expecting,” he said.

Reynolds said that despite the protests, it’s still a good time to be in Hong Kong.

Said Reynolds: “It is a fascinating time to be in Hong Kong. As several of our professors have said, we are witnessing history. We are also witnessing the fight for Hong Kong’s future.” lmdoyle@syr.edu

policy “offensive” and replace them with “more specific language such as threats of violence, obscenity, child pornography and harassing communications as defined by law,” Greenberg said.

David Rubin, professor and dean emeritus at the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications, said the policy was possibly drafted as a misguided attempt to play the role of the overprotective parent, shielding students from any type of harassment. Rubin said one reason for revision is that students must be exposed to “the real world.”

own student code of conduct that students entering the university must agree to abide by as a part of the registration process. The university therefore requires its students to understand what is expected of them in the terms of conduct, said Azhar Majeed, director of the Individual Rights Education Program at the

Foundation for Individual Rights in Education.

Majeed said SU’s electronic harassment policy is too broad and vague. He said SU’s policy puts students’ First Amendment rights at risk.

“Even though Syracuse is a private institution, it promises its students free speech rights and then those promises are violated by having a policy such as this one,” Majeed said.

He clarified that there are many schools with vaguely-worded policies that suppress freedom of speech, and harassment policies are the codes that most frequently stifle students’ expression.

FIRE rates and ranks universities nationwide based on their acceptance of freedom of speech rights for students. If a university has a particularly constricting policy it will be flagged as a red light policy. Yellow light policies are indicative of a slightly suppressive policy and green light policies are closest to allowing students to express themselves freely. Syracuse has one red light policy, four yellow light policies and one green light policy.

In 2011, SU was ranked as the worst school for freedom of speech by the organization.

Although it no longer holds this title, SU still has the previously mentioned flagged policies.

SU’s policy has not been vigorously enforced with only a few prominent cases being reported.

In 2010, a student in the College of Law was investigated on the premise that a satirical blog based on various characters and events at the law school was considered harassment. In 2012, a student in the School of Education was expelled for a comment made on social media. The resolution indicates that both cases involved actions that are “widely considered to be within the bounds of protected free student expression.” rcgilber@syr.edu

Taking a stand

By Erin McDonald staff writer

A

rrows with the words “Support Israel?” were written in chalk on sidewalks on the Quad on Wednesday afternoon, directing students to where Syracuse Students Stand with Israel was hosting its first ever event.

An event table decorated in blue and white and lined with traditional food was set up in front of Hendricks Chapel. Around 100 students visited the table throughout the afternoon, engaged in the festivities and took a photo inside a large picture frame.

The students were asked to give their reason for supporting Israel and those pictures were then posted to the group’s Facebook page.

The page also displays the group’s mission statement, to “support the state of Israel on the SU/ESF campus through education of the student body, engagement in positive, productive action and raising awareness of the diverse

culture of Israel.”

“I thought it was incredible when students who are studying at Syracuse, but are from Israel, came and spoke with us about their experiences home this summer,” said Emma Gottlieb, a junior broadcast and digital journalism major and a member of the club, in an email. Gottlieb said she was already a big supporter of Israel and this was a great way for her to give back and make a difference.

Gottlieb said the situation in Israel is a human rights issue, not a religious issue, and therefore it affects everyone.

“I hope we are able to grow this club and awareness about Israel on campus,” she said.

“I want people to know that this isn’t just an issue for Jews and that everyone should be knowledgeable about what is happening in Israel.”

Club President Amanda Shames, a sophomore child and family studies major, said the group has received nothing but support

so far. Shames, a self-proclaimed Zionist, or Israel supporter, started the group on campus after taking a gap year in Israel in which she studied there for nine months. After spending time working with Israelis, she wanted to take charge, she said.

“I didn’t find anywhere on campus that I could continue supporting Israel,” Shames said.

Although all of the planning for the new group, as well as the kickoff event, has been hard work, Shames said she is glad that she is able to spend her time on campus doing what she loves — supporting Israel.

Emma Mirsky, a sophomore inclusive elementary and special education major and member of the organization, said the group hopes to spread the word about its goals, and to make it a more “impacting and permanent club.”

“We want this group to be somewhere where all people, Jews and non-Jews, could share why they love Israel and feel safe about their pride,” Mirsky said.

Wednesday was the group’s first main event of the year. Syracuse Students Stand with Israel, which is under the umbrella of the Hillel Jewish Student Union, a prominent Jewish organization on campus, hopes to get speakers to come to campus and is currently in the works of planning an entire week, deemed Israeli Week, which would take place next semester and involve events in support of Israel, Shames said.

Shames said her vision of the group is one that consists of members committed to supporting the Israeli state, not just about religion. Anyone should be able to become involved and support the cause, regardless of religious involvement, she said.

Gottlieb said that it’s a complex issue that people need to stay informed on.

Said Gottlieb: “I think it is important to educate and raise awareness of what is going on in Israel and the Middle East as well right now.” eemcdona@syr.edu

editorial board

University student harassment policy needs to be revised In order to avoid imposing on students’ right to free speech, Syracuse University should make revising the harassment section in its Student Code of Conduct a priority.

Last week, the Student Association passed a resolution pertaining to SU’s definition of harassment on computers and social media, and how it relates to free speech. The resolution suggests that the current language used in the university policy is vague and objective.

The resolution aims to eliminate vague wording from the Code of Conduct — which describes harassment as “offensive” and “annoying” messages — and replace wording to be more specific definitions, such as “threats of violence, obscenity, child pornography and harassing communications as defined by law.”

The university should change its policy to what this resolution suggested.

The current policy is unfair to students as it is vague and objective. Without harassment clearly defined, students could be hesitant or uncomfortable voicing their opinions online for fear of discipline from the university. The unclear policy could potentially limit free speech by making students afraid to say what they actually believe, especially if they have controversial opinions.

In 2011, SU was ranked the worst school for free speech in the nation by the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education. The recent Hanna Strong incident also raised the issue of what exactly constitutes free speech on campus, and what is punishable according to university policy.

Because SU is a private university, it can create the standards students are held to in terms of what they say and do. But it should only limit, as suggested by the resolution, what is actually illegal or threatening to other students.

The policy the resolution suggests could clear up the confusion that surrounds the current rules regarding free speech online.

Throughout this semester, the university has promoted open dialogue on campus regarding student issues such as inclusion and diversity.

This should not be any different online. In order to be a more progressive university that truly allows for an open dialogue, SU must revise its policy.

The university should take the necessary steps to implement Student Association’s suggested change to the Student Code of Conduct. The free speech problem at SU has been known since 2011, and the new administration should make it a priority to address it.

Violence should not be entertainment

T

his fall, viewers looking to be scared out of their skin will have several new movies to occupy their time.

Movies “The Town that Dreaded Sundown” and “Housebound,” both premiere this weekend. While horror movies can be fun, there are some that take the genre and turn it grotesque, a style which some call torture porn — think the “Saw” franchise, “The Last House on the Left”, “Hostel” and “Captivity.”

This strain of horror movies was at its height during the mid-2000s but has reared its ugly head again. In addition to those new releases, “Saw” will be re-released in theatres on Halloween to celebrate its 10th anniversary.

Torture porn takes the fun out of being scared. It brutally and graphically puts people through unimaginable harm just to see how much the audience is willing to sit through. These works of fiction push the limits of what viewers

can take, and raise the bar for what people consider cruelty in real life.

David Edelstein was the first to give this sub-genre its title. In his 2006 New York Magazine Article, “Now Playing at Your Local Movieplex: Torture Porn” Edelstein points out that unlike the hack ‘em up thrillers of the past where gore included splashes of red corn syrup, today’s horror films, such as Gaspar Noe’s “Irreversible,” feature scenes of exacerbated cruelty, the most notable: a nine minute scene of a pregnant woman being anally raped.

Up until the 2000s the horror genre rarely strayed far from this plot: teenagers on a road trip ignore bad omens and are murdered one by one by a serial killer. The final girl triumphantly defeats this masked murderer and

gets to escape from this night in hell without her friends, but at least with her life. See “Friday the 13th,,” “Jeepers Creepers” and “The Evil Dead.”

The torture porn industry has made a chilling development — in these films the final girl no longer exists. There is no moment of triumph for the victims.

In The “Devil’s Rejects,” no one survives and in “Wolf Creek,” the killer gets away.

Of course views of dissent point out that these are just movies, that it’s all pretend. We don’t expect to see the U.S. government fight off the Decepticons as Bay’s movies suggest, nor are we anticipating to fall into a Delorean and be whisked off to the future with Marty McFly. But these images of extreme violence cannot be shrugged off like these fantastical franchises.

Torture porn seeks to disturb its viewers, and it does so beyond reason.

“The Psychology of Teen Violence and Victimization” compiled several stud-

scribble

ies of violent video games, movies and TV shows and the effects they had on their viewers. The conclusion specified that people of all ages overexposed to violence could become desensitized to violence and come to think of violence as the norm.

After seeing a man’s skull crushed like a melon in lifelike aftereffects, you might shrug at

instances of real violence, like mass graves in ISIS controlled territories, brutal rapes of women around the world and domestic violence.

Torture porn turns horrific violence into entertainment — it shouldn’t.

As one of the stronger economic players in the Eurozone, another collapse there could be disastrous.

China is also showing signs of a sharp slowdown, said Merryn Webb of the Financial Times on Friday. Long years of over-investment left housing and commercial enterprises vacant, leaving a massive credit bubble ready to burst from $13 trillion worth of public spending from the government since the onset of the 2008 financial crisis.

the financial crash of the 1980s. India is up in the air for now with the recent election of Narendra Modi as prime minister. The Economist called growth in Russia and Brazil “stagnant at best.”

The U.S. is a bright spot in the world.

Unemployment has fallen below six percent. Growth is projected at 4.2 percent for the third quarter. The average length of workweek in the manufacturing industry ticked up to its highest in years, at 34.6 hours. It was at 34.4 two years ago, according to statista.com.

The encouraging news in the U.S. economy is dampened by discouraging news elsewhere. Business leaders must take the global trends into account when making decisions on expansion, as ambitions have grown perhaps too high for the world to handle just yet.

A Sept. 15 report from The Street

suggested that slowing retail sales in China, from 13.2 percent to 12.8 percent growth, are raising red flags for American enterprises looking to expand.

Shares of Starbucks have fallen 1.2 percent in the past month amid China worries. Gap plans to open 35 stores in China over the next year. Abercrombie & Fitch plans to open “hundreds.”

It’s awfully optimistic, and generally misguided. It’s the product of dreams for a global department, and not based on prudent financial decision-making.

Salesforce, a cloud computing company, is planning to open data centers across Europe in 2015. Video streaming company Netflix will begin more robust operations there as well, focusing on France and Germany. The list goes on.

There may well be enough demand internationally for these companies to

succeed in new territories. A slumping economy doesn’t mean Germans won’t be interested in Netflix or Chinese shoppers won’t be wearing Abercrombie. But financial reports are showing consistent red flags about the growth prospects outside of American borders.

The idea of global expansion is enticing, but it isn’t the right decision right now.

A homegrown American recovery does not indicate smooth sailing abroad, and the success of new ventures in Europe and Asia will be highly dependent on the success of those respective economies. The markets tell us that success isn’t likely — and corporations should listen.

Ask the experts: Professors discuss Supreme Court’s non-decision

By Hanna Horvath contributing writer

The Supreme Court began its fall session last week by deciding not to hear cases brought by five states regarding the legality of same-sex marriage. In all five states, the appeals court had struck down gay marriage bans and the states had appealed.

The Daily Orange talked with three experts on the Syracuse University campus, Thomas Keck, a political science professor and Michael O. Sawyer Chair of Constitutional Law and Politics at the Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs, Keith Bybee, a political science and law professor and director of the Institute for the Study of the Judiciary, Politics

and the Media and Tucker Culbertson, a law and LGBT studies professor about what the non-decision means.

The Daily Orange: What does this mean for the states that brought the cases forward?

Keck: The Court did not decide the cases; it just decided not to hear them. The effect of that is that the lower court decision stands, at least for the moment. So in those states, same-sex couples have the right to legally marry, and there are multiple cases ongoing in other states, and the court has not decided those cases yet. Additional appeals from other states could come to the Supreme Court. They could continue to decline to rule, or eventually decide to hear one of the cases. Right now, the outcome has not changed for the other states, until legal proceedings take place.

Culbertson: There is a massive effect to this non-decision. The Court essentially mandated the issuing of marriage licenses in the five states. These circuit courts cover many states, and the law of the circuit is the law of the circuit. You arguably have 11 states, from the fourth circuit, the seventh circuit and the 10th circuit, that all have to issue marriage licenses.

The D.O.: What was your reaction to the decision?

Bybee: I was expecting the Supreme Court to decide to hear one or more of these cases. One

of the reasons is that there were a lot of these cases, and more coming up. Also, both sides of the case, including those that had lost in the appeals court and won, were both asking the Supreme Court to take the case. This is unusual o usually the loser wants the Court to take it. The winners wanted this case to go to the Court because they wanted a national ruling.

The D.O.: What do you think this means in the short term and long term for America?

Keck: Short term, there will be continued litigation on the issue of same-sex marriage.

Federal courts around the country, for the most part, will continue to hold the view that same-sex couples have a constitutional right to get married. I don’t think it will take that long, so medium term, same-sex marriage will be legalized across the country.

Culbertson: I think it’s crucial for us to recognize how necessary but very limited the gains of same-sex marriage is for the LGBTQ community. I hope folks will keep in mind that the official declaration that all states must recognize same-sex marriage only does so much to affect the lives and injuries continually suffered by certain parts of the LGBTQ community. There’s a lot more work to be done beyond the official declaration of marriage. hrhorvat@syr.edu

Trials and tribulations SU Drama opens season with emotional performance of ‘Parade’

By Clare Ramirez asst. feature editor

T

he lights dim, and the silhouette of a single soldier is seen playing a drum. For a minute or so, a steady drumbeat is the only audible sound in the room.

An underlying dark tone was set from the start of the sold-out opening of “Parade,” Syracuse University Department of Drama’s first show of the season at the Syracuse Stage/SU Drama Complex on Saturday night.

The Tony-Award winning musical by Alfred Uhry and music and lyrics by Jason Robert Brown tells the story of Leo Frank, a Jewish man living in Georgia. The musical focuses on his indictment for the murder of a young girl named Mary Phagan and the growth of his relationship with his wife, Lucille.

Based on true events, “Parade” highlights stereotypes against Jews and “Yankees” living in the South during the 1900s, and how the events surrounding the trial eventually result-

ed in Frank’s kidnapping and lynching.

Every single seat was filled as the audience waited in front of the empty stage. There were no fixed props onstage, as everything — cots, chairs, tables and platforms — was carried and moved by the actors themselves.

The only constant was the electronic backdrop projected through the framed structure surrounding the stage. The images changed back and forth between settings — a factory, an outdoor meadow and newspaper clippings of headlines — in accordance with the current scene.

The sound of sniffles could be heard across the theater multiple times throughout the musical as members of the audience wiped their tears during some of the most powerful and emotional parts, including the testimony of the mother of Phagan and Frank’s statement to defend his name.

Ethan Saviet, a senior musical theater major, played the role of Frank. He said his character is “very misunderstood” and doesn’t know how to love his wife, even though he clearly does.

“Everything that happens to Leo allows him to connect to his emotions and his feelings, which in turn opens him up to her and brings them so much closer,” Saviet said.

Ana Marcu, a junior musical theater major, said she did a lot of research to prepare for her role to compare the real-life Lucille Frank with the char-

acter presented to her in the play.

After she got the role, Marcu read the script numerous times as well as read a book entitled, “And Then The Dead Shall Rise,” a detailed account of Phagan’s death and Frank’s lynching.

“I think the biggest thing for me was Lucille’s entire journey and how

Last Friday, aspiring entrepreneurs weren’t competing against each other for $500 — they competed against themselves.

At the new Syracuse University MakerSpace in Kimmel Hall, students participated in IDEA Juicer, which resembled the reality TV show “Shark Tank.” Participants had five minutes to pitch their startup idea in front of a panel of judges to receive $500 to further their businesses. The event was hosted by the Raymond von Dran Innovation and Disruptive Entrepreneurship Accelerator.

Steven Bourdelais, the founder of Lakeside Boards, was one of the two startups that was awarded $500. But as helpful as the money is, Bourdelais said free business advice is just as valuable.

“The fact that the precursor to getting the money is that we have to develop a business plan will essentially benefit us more,” said Bourdelais a junior aerospace engineering major. “We want $500, but essentially we want that $500 worth of business advice.”

Bourdelais spends up to 10 hours designing and creating longboards with

his two roommates. Lakeside Boards was one of the four companies that competed Friday.

After the pitch, judges and audience members had the opportunity to ask questions to the entrepreneurs. The event was live streamed online, and those not present tweeted questions with the hashtag #startupSU. Four students pitched their ideas, but only two of the startups, Lakeside Boards and Caveman Protein Muffins, were awarded the $500.

“We really tried to be unbiased in respect to the industry or type of business,” said Tony Kershaw, an

juicer innovation specialist at the Syracuse Tech Garden and one of the judges on the panel. “We wanted to make sure that the money would create some kind of impact with the business in the next few months.”

Stacey Keefe, the executive director of IDEA, said the event began last year as a way for students to fund their ideas at the beginning of the year.

Keefe added that the event prepares students for bigger competitions in the spring, such as the Panasci Business Plan Competition and the Raymond von Dran IDEA Awards, for which the top prizes are $20,000 and $10,000, respectively.

“A lot of students aren’t far enough along to compete in those big ones,” Keefe said. “But if we allow them this smaller money in the fall to the point where they can actually compete, we’ll have more quality students in the spring.”

Caveman Protein Muffins, founded by Zach Schleien, was the other pitch that received the full $500. Schleien, a first-year graduate student studying information management, said Caveman Protein Muffins is a gluten-free product that contains protein and can act as a meal replacement.

The money will go toward subsidizing kitchen costs and gaining resources, said Schleien, who works on the startup with his mother. He added that having his own startup company is an act of self-expression and something that he is proud of.

“What it comes down to is that I’m really passionate about the Paleo diet and nutrition in general, so I really wanted to contribute in some way by providing a product to people that’s healthy and delicious,” Schleien said.

Even though the startup company Contact didn’t receive any money, that didn’t mean its members were going home empty-handed. Contact, which involves the creation of a military glove, had the opportunity to receive advice from experts to help further develop the idea.

Laura Welch, deputy director of the Center for Advanced Systems and Engineering, was part of the panel of judges and said their decision had nothing to do with the quality of the business or the way it was pitched.

“It was clear from what they were talking about that they don’t know a lot about how to go about working with defense and different funding mechanisms,” Welch said. “We thought that the advice was much more valuable than just a small amount of cash.”

Prasanna Kulkarni, a graduate student studying information management, said he came to the event because he has ideas of his own and wanted to see how others were executing their ideas.

“It was wonderful to see how students worked on their ideas and have already gotten it off the ground,” Kulkarni said. “It was clear that they all loved what they were doing.” clramire@syr.edu | @clareramirez_

The amount of $500 was awarded to two startups, Lakeside Boards and Caveman Protein Muffins, last Friday at the first IDEA Juicer event of the year. At the event, students had five minutes to pitch their ideas to a panel of judges. nate forer contributing photographer

parade she starts out as this woman who has low self-confidence and has insecurities about her marriage,” Marcu said.

One turning point in the play is when the Governor of Georgia, played by Tyler Jimenez, reexamined the trial and changed Frank’s sentence from the death penalty to life imprisonment.

Jimenez, a senior musical theater major, said he enjoys going through the transformation his character makes.

“He’s such a dynamic character from start to finish,” Jimenez said. “He started off not wanting to be a part of it, then significantly changing the outcome of it.”

Madie Polyak, a junior musical theater major, said the musical takes the audiences through an emotional journey. She said the ending, which reveals the interaction between Frank and Phagan, allowed the story to come full circle.

“The performances were so real, and it was spot on and incredible,” Polyak said. “It’s amazing to see how the people have come in the program in the past years and seen their work since Day One.” As one of the lead roles, Saviet said he feels lucky to have worked on a play that affected people with the journey that the characters go through.

“I feel so fortunate to bring this piece of theater to life and to share it with people,” Saviet said. “It really is an important one that not many people know too much about it because of its dark nature, but I just feel very lucky to be able to work on it.”

Toward the end of the play, the steady beating of a single drum was again the only audible noise as the scene of Frank’s lynching began.

“Do you have any last words, Mr. Frank?” one of the characters asked him.

“Sh’ma Yisrael. Adonai eloheinu, Adonai echad,” Saviet sang in response, his voice shaky and afraid. Its translation: “Hear, O Israel. The Lord is our God, the Lord is one.” clramire@syr.edu | @clareramirez_

Part of the family Angotti’s Family Restaurant offers Italian classics, makes customers feel at home

By Rohan Thakore staff writer

T

he bubbling sauce simmering for hours, the warm and friendly service and the generous portions make it feel as though you’ve entered the Angotti family’s home. Located a little more than a mile from campus, and just past Erie Boulevard, Angotti’s Family Restaurant serves up substantial Italian classics.

Every home is different. Some have been renovated and feature new equipment and furniture. Others appear aged and could use a facelift.

Unfortunately, Angotti’s falls into the latter. The scenery is sparse, with only a few worn buildings and a highway to look at. A weathered brown brick exterior had the name of the restaurant slapped across the front.

The parking lot was a mess of pavement, puddles and grass.

Inside, the decor was abundant, though eccentric. Newspaper clippings and articles were sporadically hanging next to old Syracuse sports schedules. Large murals of famous Italian monuments were painted across every wall in the dining room. Even the chairs and table felt out of place, like they belonged in a hotel conference room rather than a restaurant.

But these quirks give Angotti’s its charm and character. What really makes the restaurant memorable is the food. The menu itself has Italian classics such as lasagna, fresh pizza, eggplant parmigiana and specialty pastas, such as gnocchi. They also have a varied selection of calzones and hot or cold sandwiches. The prices make anything ordered a good deal, with most entrees under $10. Hungry and ambitious, I ordered a variety of appetizers and entrees.

I started out with a few slices of garlic bread, a handful of mozzarella sticks and an antipasto salad.

The garlic bread was warm and buttery, with a good amount of garlic on each slice. It was also fresh, presumably because the garlic tasted like real garlic, and not as if garlic powder had been rubbed overpoweringly on it.

The bread also wasn’t soggy, which would have

been a disgrace to such a simple dish.

The mozzarella sticks were also delicious and crispy. The breading on the outside remained warm and crunchy, protecting the melting cheese buried inside. Homemade marinara sauce couldn’t have been a better compliment to the sticks.

However, the antipasto salad fell a little flat. In my mind, I was hoping for cured meats, olives, fresh olive oil and maybe some acidity from red wine vinegar. But the salad was nothing more than bland romaine leaves mixed with a boiled egg, some olives and ham scattered around. The dressing fell to the bottom of the bowl, so some leaves still weren’t covered after mixing. The ham and olives were

lackluster but didn’t add much to the dish except for some saltiness.

For the main course, I decided on the veal parmigiana and the baked ziti with meat and mozzarella.

The ziti was covered with a mound of cheese, layered half an inch thick, served steaming and bubbly. The pasta, which I eventually found underneath, was cooked perfectly with the housemade marinara sauce.

The sauce wasn’t overly acidic, but had a touch of sweetness to it. Crumbled sausage added a nice spice and saltiness to the dish. It was delicious overall, as each bite had a little bit of everything in it.

The veal was equally as tasty, and was also

smothered underneath a mound of cheese.

The two cutlets were piping hot, and had a crunchy breading that kept all the moisture in the meat. Each bite was seasoned well and was tender and juicy. The veal was served with a side of spaghetti, which was cooked well, but was unmemorable except for the homemade sauce it was served with. A take out box was certainly needed.

Angotti’s isn’t a fancy restaurant by any means. It’s hard to pinpoint what type of place Angotti’s is exactly. You come here for a friendly smile and a warm plate of food in a humbling atmosphere; you come here to be satisfied. You come here to feel at home. rythakor@syr.edu

notebook with his throws and an ability to pick up yards with his feet.

He finished 16-for-27 for 167 passing yards and two touchdowns, plus 20 yards on the ground in three attempts.

“AJ was just the way I thought he would be,” SU head coach Scott Shafer said. “Did he make mistakes? Yes. But all in all, the opportunity to be baptized by fire against No. 1 in the country, I thought the kid did a pretty darn good job.”

On the other end of Long’s throws was Ishmael, who finished with three catches for 93 yards and his first two collegiate touchdowns.

The rapport began as Long threw a pass on the run in the second quarter. Ishmael went up and got it, and held on as he fell to the turf for an acrobatic 36-yard gain that moved the Orange to FSU’s 7-yard line.

Long led Ishmael with a 22-yard strike on a go route that the receiver hauled in in for SU’s first offensive touchdown since Sept. 27.

Ishmael then did the majority of the work on the pair’s next touchdown, taking a pass from Long over the middle at the 17-yard line and running through multiple defenders at the goal line for a 35-yard score.

“It was an amazing connection,” Ishmael said with a smile. “We’re just going to continue learning from here on out, planning on just getting some more extra work.”

Philips impressed for the first time since his from page 16

klinger chance to win now and in the future.

“I was wondering, is it going to be too big for him?” SU offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach Tim Lester said of Long. “Because it doesn’t seem like anything’s too big for this kid.

And sure enough, he went out there and played.”

Whatever Long was doing, it was working, and his fellow freshmen did it too. But Saturday’s measured success was more about what they were simply being — freshmen.

Freshmen don’t know that they shouldn’t be able to gut FSU’s secondary for touchdowns.

But Long and Ishmael combined to do it twice.

“You put that ball within a 2- to 3-feet radius of that man, he’s going to catch it,” Long said. “Doesn’t matter if it’s one-handed, twohanded, he could catch it with his eyes closed.”

That’s just not true. It can’t be. Not all the time, anyway. But if Long believes as much and it helps him play better, it doesn’t really matter.

On third-and-6 on SU’s second drive Saturday, Long rolled right, lofted a ball into double coverage and Ishmael came down with it at the

55-yard performance against Central Michigan.

Against FSU, the running back took a jet sweep from Long after going in motion from the slot and ran along the far sideline for a 16-yard pickup.

In light of recruiting specialist George McDonald’s recent demotion from offensive coordinator to solely wide receivers coach, question marks now accompany the next few years for the Orange.

But on Saturday, Long, Ishmael and Philips offered potential answers.

Said left tackle Sean Hickey: “I’ll be excited to see what’s going on in three or four years.”

SU defensive line provides pressure

Although Jameis Winston efficiently shredded the Syracuse defense on Saturday afternoon, SU’s front four hardly made life comfortable in the pocket for the defending Heisman Trophy winner.

Without starting nose tackle Eric Crume — who sat out with an upper-body injury — Syracuse’s line often broke into the Seminoles’ backfield. The Orange only sacked Winston once, but SU’s linemen forced two fumbles by the Seminoles, accounted for two of the Orange’s three tackles for loss and 16 total tackles.

“There was some pretty good puncturing going on by our kids,” Shafer said. “When we lost Jayson Bromley last year, there was some great concern there, but I think those kids as a unit played real well and that they fought to learn how to play the game the way (defensive line) coach (Tim) Daoust asked them to. “… I thought we played, at times up front, nose to nose with them.”

Florida State 7-yard line. It was easy to wonder how many other times SU has completed a similar play this year. The answer is not many.

It could be down to Lester. SU’s new offensive coordinator said he was particularly aggressive against then-top-ranked FSU. And a team’s status as an underdog doesn’t get too much clearer than it was for SU on Saturday.

“When we came out here, Coach Shafe preached nothing to lose, just have fun, go out here and do what you do best,” Ishmael said.

“And that’s what we did. We had a clear chance of beating this team but we’re just moving on to the second half of the season and worrying about Wake Forest and just worrying about going to a bowl game.”

Most teams have to balance having younger players and more experienced players on the field. SU has to do the same with its freshmen and the healthy veterans.

But there aren’t many. And as Syracuse looks to salvage its season, the more youth, the better.

Winston, a mobile quarterback, cruised to a 30-of-36 passing performance, 317 yards and three touchdowns. But his numbers reflect the Orange secondary’s outing more so than its front four’s.

Defensive lineman Ron Thompson stripped Winston for a sack and knocked the ball loose in the fourth quarter, but FSU recovered it.

Shafer also praised the performance of senior defensive end Micah Robinson.

Before the season, Shafer said it would take a by-committee effort to replace Bromley on the Syracuse defensive line.

Six games into the season, it’s been just that.

“So it just goes back to what we always talk about,” Shafer said, “that next teammate stepping up to the plate and saying, ‘We’re counting on you.’” pmdabbra@syr.edu | @PhilDAbb

top of the circle on penalty corner shots.

She also provides as a backbone to the SU defense, often standing the farthest back as the last line of defense between the rest of the team and the goalie. The constant backand-forth of offense and defense is a unique combination, but as a rookie she knows it’s her responsibility.

“This is my job,” Ulbrich said. “I got used to it, even though it took me awhile.”

A fundamentally sound defense was a necessity for SU against two teams boasting potent offenses, and Ulbrich knows how crucial of a piece she is to the counterattack.

Her presence in the backfield is an intimidating one for opposing teams. She helped force errant passes from Louisville before contributing on defense and netting two goals against Cornell a day later.

Bradley selected her as the player to take penalty corners because of her ability to out -hit nearly every player on the field, and the humble Ulbrich laughed when asked if she was the hardest hitter on the team.

Said Ulbrich: “Yeah, I probably am.” cgrossma@syr.edu

SU lost to Florida State by 18 and Scott Shafer didn’t accept the moral victory. But he didn’t seem too mad.

Three takeaways from AJ Long’s performance against Florida State on Saturday. he’s still a freshman Syracuse can’t have its top — for now — quarterback miss the sideline when he tries to throw the ball away. He did that and absorbed a pretty solid hit on his first scramble.

he can run Syracuse offensive coordinator Tim Lester actually complimented the true freshman for not keeping the ball more on zone reads. On the three times he did run, he earned 20 yards.

But it was his ability to run away from would-be tacklers to set up passes that truly impressed.

he has an arm The knock on Long throughout the recruiting process was the supposed lack of strength in his arm. He showed no such thing on Saturday, completing 22- and 36-yard passes to Steve Ishmael.

Syracuse could jump ahead to No. 1 rank in coaches poll

By Matt Schneidman asst. copy editor

By the time the National Soccer Coaches Association of America poll is released Tuesday afternoon, Syracuse could be in the top spot.

This past week, the No. 4 Orange (11-1, 4-1 Atlantic Coast) won both its games, posting a 2-1 win against Albany on Tuesday and a 3-1 victory over Wake Forest on Friday. No. 1 Washington tied its only game of the week, a 1-1 overtime draw against No. 23 Oregon State on Sunday. No. 2 UCLA lost in overtime to California, 3-2, on Friday and No. 3 Penn State was blown out by Maryland on Sunday by a 4-0 score.

SU is almost guaranteed at least the No. 2 ranking with two of the top three teams losing, but Syracuse could jump up to No. 1 if the NSCAA poll voters determine a 2-0 week for the Orange is more impressive than a one-tie week for Washington.

In the NCAA RPI rankings, Washington is No. 1 and Syracuse is No. 2. In the TopDrawerSoccer.com poll, the Huskies are No. 1 and the Orange No. 3, and the two will likely be Nos. 1 and 2 when TopDrawer’s unofficial national poll is released Monday morning.

Syracuse already has its highest-ever ranking in program history, but it will have to wait

field was better than Winston’s, but Long only completed two of his four passes in that region for 40 yards.

When we get around the 6-, 7-yard line it kind of gets to that awkward yard line where you could run it, you could bring your heavy personnel in, are we going to throw it? We just need to execute better in those situations.

SU’s youth gives Orange best chance

Freshmen impress in FSU loss

yracuse may not have much of a choice, but it’s time to play the young and untested.

AJ Long and Steve Ishmael — and to a lesser extent, running back Ervin Philips — made the Orange’s 38-20 loss to No. 1 Florida State more JACOB watchable.

KLINGER Long would CLEA R EY ES, ONE HEA RT seemingly try anything to make a play work. Ishmael provides a second deep threat SU can certainly use. And Philips has raw outside speed.

That’s not to say that SU (2-4, 0-2 Atlantic Coast) should stop giving the ball to Prince-Tyson Gulley or hitting the likes of Adrian Flemming and Jarrod West on a mixed range of passes. Teams trying to be good should give their best players the ball. But the SU freshmen are also among the team’s best.

On Saturday, freshmen gave a Syracuse season that’s slipping the most traction it’s had in a month.

They’re healthy while SU is without starting quarterback Terrel Hunt, and receivers Brisly Estime and Ashton Broyld, among other players.

And while the freshmen have plenty of developing to do, letting them do it in games gives the Orange its greatest

AJ LONG threw for 167 yards and two scores after getting the bulk of the snaps against FSU with Terrel Hunt out. The freshman showed promise for SU despite the loss. sam maller staff photographer

Syracuse had just lost by three scores to the defending national champions.

Its starting quarterback is out for the next month, its second-stringer left the game with what appeared to be a head injury and the Orange now has to win four of its last six games to clinch bowl eligibility this season.

But a confident AJ Long stepped to the podium after the Orange’s loss to Florida State and made a bold statement.

“Syracuse football, we’re back,” the freshman quarterback said, “and we’re going to an ACC championship in the next four years.”

While SU (2-4, 0-2 Atlantic Coast) ultimately fell flat in its 38-20 defeat at the hands of the then-No. 1 Seminoles (6-0, 4-0) on Saturday afternoon in the Carrier Dome, glimpses of the Orange’s future illuminated the loss. Long connected with wide receiver Steve Ishmael — a fellow true freshman — for a pair of touchdowns, and freshman running back Ervin Philips flashed his potential for the first time since SU beat Central Michigan on Sept. 13.

For an offense that hadn’t scored a touchdown in over 100 minutes of play, the contributions of its youth were badly needed.

Long took the majority of the snaps at quarterback in his SU debut and, despite his two interceptions, showed good command of the offense, accuracy see notebook page 14

Ulbrich contributes on both ends in 2 weekend wins for Orange

By Connor Grossman staff writer

Annalena Ulbrich has practiced corner shots with fellow freshman Laura Hurff throughout their freshman season.

So when Ulbrich was about to take a corner shot with eight min-

utes remaining in the first half of Syracuse’s game against Louisville on Saturday, she locked eyes with Hurff and they visualized the goal-scoring play that was about to ensue.

From the top of the circle, Ulbrich fired a pass that just barely nicked the stick of Hurff and into the net to

help propel No. 13 Syracuse (10-3, 1-3 Atlantic Coast) to a 3-1 win over No. 5 Louisville (10-3, 3-2) on Saturday.

Then on Sunday, Ulbrich continued her torrid goal-scoring pace by converting on two more penalty corner shots to contribute to a 5-0 SU defeat of Cornell (8-3, 3-0 Ivy).

Hurff credited Ulbrich for setting the play up in the moments before the corner shot. Despite being listed as a defender, Ulbrich has been an invaluable asset to the offense and showed why in a pair of weekend wins.

“I made eye contact with (Ulbrich) so I tried to cut in front of the

defender,” Hurff said. “My stick just happened to hit the ball and I turned around and it was unbelievable.”

With 10 goals and four assists, Ulbrich is quickly learning and adapting to her role at the center of SU’s group of four starting freshmen. see ulbrich page 14
