But generations of Syracuse University students, shaken by a shock to the American consciousness, have perched on the steps of Hendricks Chapel, looking over a sea of peers or scattered passersby creeping toward the domed building with curiosity.

Students shouted from the SU landmark following the killing of four collegiate Vietnam War protestors. Forty-four years later, they stood on the same stairs, hands raised in subdued solidarity with a slain teenager named Michael Brown.

From events that pierce the national psyche to university-specific issues, SU boasts a rich history of student protests. While some eras — particularly the late 1960s and early 1970s — left more of an imprint on the university than others,

members of the university community believe SU has entered one of its most active eras of student expression in a decade.

Students this semester have carried out a variety of demonstrations and movements across a spectrum of issues, both national and university-specific. Rallies have encouraged university divestment from fossil fuels, opposed the closing of the Advocacy Center, urged the continuation of scholarship programs and fought against perceived university inaction on racial marginalization, among others.

“There’s been more student activism in the last four weeks than the last four years,” said Ben Kuebrich, a fifth year graduate student in composition and cultural rhetoric and a Divest SU member.

The city of Syracuse has announced changes to roadways in the Syracuse University area that are intended to increase parking space and pedestrian and cyclist safety.

The changes will mostly occur along Comstock and Waverly avenues, and include new parking options, a cycle track and traffic calming devices, according to a city press release.

As a result, Comstock and Waverly will both be reduced to two driving lanes starting Friday. Curbside parking will be added between South Crouse Avenue and the Newhouse II building, according to the release.

In addition, a “floating parking lane” will be implemented in the area after Walnut Place and onto Comstock Avenue. The project will result in 60–70 additional parking spaces total, according to the release.

changing it up Here are some of the changes the City of Syracuse announced:

• New parking options • Cycle track • Traffic calming devices Crews will begin doing work in the designated areas this week. A white stripe will be painted along the side of the street and an 8-foot lane will be available for parking along Comstock Avenue. There will be a striped buffer along the side of the lane, according to the press release.

In addition, a nine to 10 feet wide cycle track will be striped for use.

Pending approval by the city, striping work will begin on Friday.

Alexander Marion, the press secretary for Mayor Stephanie Miner, did not return multiple phone calls and emails. Keith Kobland, media manager for the Office of News Services at SU, referred questions to Marion, saying, “this is a city of Syracuse project, not a Syracuse University project.” blsamuel@syr.edu

Coffee-flavored stout has strong aftertaste

By Hannah Redfield staff writer

As a Pennsylvania native, I have always known Hershey for one thing: chocolate. Home to Hershey’s Chocolate World and amusement park, the town doesn’t get much attention besides the occasional announcement of a new candy flavor hitting the market.

I would like to draw attention to another product that hails from Hershey: Troegs’ JavaHead Stout.

Using locally produced products, the Troeg brothers, Chris and John, have crafted a smooth brew that has complementary flavors of coffee and Hershey’s favorite flavor, cocoa.

The beer’s cleverly designed bottle looks foreboding at first — my immediate thought was that there was a big skull adorning the label.

Upon closer inspection, however, you can see that the eyes of the skull are actually two coffee pots, and the teeth are pint glasses full of beer.

Not everyone will enjoy this dark, malty beer. But, if you are a fan of black

coffee you should definitely give it a try.

My first impression was that the beer doesn’t actually taste like coffee right off the bat, but rather the java flavor comes as a strong aftertaste.

The coffee and cocoa notes remained on my palette for an unusually long time after I had sipped the beer.

JavaHead reminded me somewhat of a Guinness with regard to its dark, heavy and coffee-dominated flavor.

As I mentioned before, not everyone will enjoy this brew. I tried something new this week and offered one sip of the JavaHead to each of my roommates.

One described the taste as, “if you mixed 16-hour-old coffee with a cold beer. ” Another said she felt like she was eating potpourri or a wreath that she hangs on her door at Christmas time.

Even though I would classify myself as a self-proclaimed coffee lover, I cannot say I loved the flavor in an alcoholic beverage. If you’re looking to sample something from Hershey that isn’t chocolate, this unique brew may be just the thing you’re looking for. hwredfie@syr.edu

Activist criticizes closing of Advocacy Center

By Ellen Meyers staff writer

Eve Ensler, a playwright and activist, earned a standing ovation Wednesday night when she said Chancellor Kent Syverud owed the Syracuse University community an apology for the closing of the Advocacy Center last June.

“To shut down that center without the input of the students, without the feedback of students and

survivors, to me, is another form of violation,” Ensler said.

Ensler, best known for writing “The Vagina Monologues,” spoke in Hendricks Chapel Wednesday night as a part of the University Lecture Series, a cross-disciplinary lecture series, and delivered her lecture, “In the Body of Justice.”

In 1996, Ensler first performed “The Vagina Monologues,” a play featuring monologues from multiple

perspectives on various topics, including feminism, sexuality, love and the vagina itself. “The Vagina Monologues” is performed in communities across the world, including SU. Beside the play, Ensler is also known for creating V-Day, a global movement to stop violence against women and girls. One of V-Day’s most recent campaigns is One Billion Rising, which calls on 1 billion people to stand up against violence and oppres-

sion against women, according to the official website.

In her lecture, Ensler said she felt detached from her body because of her abusive childhood. When she was diagnosed with uterine cancer, she originally was against chemotherapy because she saw it as poison to her body. But her former therapist told her that the chemotherapy was poison for the cancer, and that the cancer see ensler page 4

Remembrance Scholars schedule events for week

By Sara Swann staff writer

To honor the 35 students who died on the bombing of Pan Am Flight 103, a documentary screening and an open mic night are two new activities planned for this year’s Remembrance Week.

From Oct. 19–25, the Syracuse

University community will be honoring the students who died in the bombing as part of the annual Remembrance Week. Pan Am Flight 103 exploded over Lockerbie, Scotland on Dec. 21, 1988, killing all 270 passengers, including 35 SU students who were returning home from studying abroad.

Every year, 35 SU seniors are

chosen as Remembrance Scholars to represent the students who were killed in the Pan Am Flight 103 bombing. Two students from Lockerbie are also chosen to study for one year at SU. This year, Remembrance Scholars have planned new activities to promote the week. Those include an event where students can make

sandwiches for local agencies, a documentary screening and an open mic night in Slocum Auditorium.

The Remembrance and Lockerbie Scholars have also chalked the Quad’s sidewalk in order to inform SU students and faculty of this year’s Remembrance Week events.

A group of Syracuse University and SUNY-ESF students are hoping to address issues of waste and party culture at SU through a series of art installations consisting only of red Solo Cups.

“The Red Cup Project” aims to bring awareness and to encourage students and residents to think about party culture and understand the wastefulness of the frequently-used red cups on campus. The four-person group designed four installations to highlight this theme and displayed them throughout this week. Professor Lori Brown asked students in her ARC552: “Politics of Public Space” class to engage students using installations in spaces around campus.

Group member Vinh Vo, a fifth year architecture student, said the original idea for this project stemmed from the No. 1 Party School Ranking by the Princeton Review. They wanted to address the topic and talk about the party culture at SU. Vo said the iconic see cups page 10

Attendance to double for disability conference this weekend

By Chizobam Nwagwu contributing writer

This year’s Disabled and Proud Conference at Syracuse University has drawn double the number of participants as the first conference held in 2011.

Organized by the Taishoff Center for Inclusive Higher Education, this weekend’s free conference has more than 250 students registered. The theme for the conference is “Dare to Dream.”

Over the course of the weekend, the Taishoff Center hopes to empower, educate and build alliances among attendees so they can be informed on inclusiveness in higher education and be provided with the necessary resources to access the college dream, according to the event’s press release.

Upon arrival, students will be able to attend a variety of activities including keynote addresses, informative sessions, a Disability Cafe and a variety show celebrating diversity inclusion that will feature students with disabilities and groups on

ensler represented the people who had violated her. That helped Ensler become connected with her body.

In a time when people are more aware of problems with current policies on college campuses, Ensler said she was surprised that a resource for survivors like the Advocacy Center would be shut down. Instead, there needs to

campus. With inclusion as a top priority, every session will feature American Sign Language interpreters and Communication Access Realtime Translation live captioning to ensure all the activities are accessible to students.

Jennifer Russo, the director of marketing, communications and events at the School of Education, was the chief coordinator for the conference planning process. Russo said a small committee of students from the Disabilities Rights Activism Education and Mentoring board decided on the topics by selecting issues they felt were most important to college students with disabilities.

The conference aims to expose attendees to diverse aspects of college life by dividing their sessions into four topic strands for attendees to choose from: Tools and Resources, Knowing Yourself, Activism on Campus and Supporting Your Student. Disability activists and student leaders are planning to speak on topics relating to each strand, Russo said.

“After we developed these strands and broad topic areas, we tried to find current

college students from all over the country to present on one of these strands,” she said.

“People were competing for the opportunity to present one of these strands.”

Aside from the topic strands, there will also be an exhibit and resource room with over 20 national, local and SU student organizations with resources for students such as Active Minds, Project Eye to Eye and Planned Parenthood. In addition, actress Lauren Potter, activist Keith Jones and filmmaker Dan Habib are scheduled to deliver keynote addresses.

Eddie Zaremba, a graduate assistant at the Taishoff Center, said there will be plenty of time for students to ask questions and get to know each of the speakers, Potter in particular. Zaremba said Potter is intriguing because she’s a “person with a disability talking about their experience and talking to those with disabilities.”

The theme for this year’s conference, “Dare to Dream,” pays tribute to the DREAM organization and emphasizes the goal of the conference to ignite the first generation of conference

goers alongside the incoming generation of conference goers.

“As we get together, it is people with disabilities who already know what people with disabilities are going to need,” Zaremba said.

“We hope that when we think, work and act together in this conference, we are able to think, work and act together as one in our own communities.”

For returning attendees like Nick Holzthum, a sophomore information management and technology major and board member of DREAM, this year’s conference will not only serve as an opportunity to speak directly to his peers but also a chance to network with student leaders with diverse or similar experiences from his own.

Said Holzthum: “I am looking forward just to seeing everything, all my friends, and maybe helping guide some of these students in creating a successful student organization on their campuses. I am just really excited to hear other people’s perspectives.”

be more resources created, Ensler said.

She also admired SU students for standing up through the protests and petitions, but said she does not like how the closing was handled

by SU administration.

“Process is everything,” she said.

Audience members said they were glad Ensler mentioned the Advocacy Center closing and encouraged them to stand up for change.

Becca Glaser, a third-year creative writing graduate student, said she was pleased to hear

Ensler talk about the Advocacy Center. When Glaser went to the SU diversity forum held on Oct. 2, she asked Syverud how people could move forward if he hadn’t apologized.

In order to heal and move on and create trust with the larger community, it would be wonderful to have that apology, Glaser said.

Taylyn Washington-Harmon, a junior magazine major, agreed with Ensler’s comment about how Syverud should apologize. She felt the SU community did not get a full explanation behind

the decision to close the Advocacy Center.

Emily Francisco, an art history and museum studies graduate student, said it was a good thing for Ensler to bring up those issues and tell students to speak up.

“I think that students are kind of an important part of the community at universities,” Francisco said. “I think it was our job to speak up when these things happen because we really are the university.”

remembrance than being entrusted to carry forward the memory and legacy of the Syracuse students who died on Pan Am 103,” said Remembrance Scholar Brittany Beyer, a history and international relations dual major, in an email.

All throughout Remembrance Week a display of chairs, each representing a student who died in the tragedy, will be set up on the Quad in front of Hendricks Chapel. The Remembrance and Lockerbie Scholars will inscribe each chair with words of kindness, encouragement and support.

On Monday, a dove balloon release, Walk for Peace and the traditional candlelight vigil will take place on the Quad in front of Hen-

dricks Chapel. Students and faculty will meet at 6:15 p.m. as a choir of a cappella groups sing “In Remembrance” from Requiem and doveshaped, bio-safe balloons, one for each of the 35 students, are released.

Immediately after the balloon release, the SU community is invited to join in a Walk for Peace to the Wall of Remembrance where a candlelight vigil will commence around 7 p.m.

The vigil is “a staple event of Remembrance Week,” Remembrance Scholar Tonya Bauer, committee chair of the candlelight vigil event and a broadcast and digital journalism and history major, said in an email.

“It’s an invitation for the entire Syracuse community to come together in reflection and take a moment to honor these wonderfully talented individuals who died through a senseless act of violence,” she said.

On Tuesday, the Remembrance Scholars are hosting an event to make sandwiches for charity in the Whitman Atrium at 3:30 p.m.

The goal is to make 375 peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for the Oxford Inn and Bishop Foery Foundation as a way to send meaningful messages to those in need, according to the Remembrance Week website.

An Open Mic Night will be held on Oct. 22 from 6–8 p.m. in Slocum Auditorium as a way to remember the victims of Pan Am Flight 103 and to promote peace through poetry, dance and music.

Thursday’s event will be a panel discussion about the effects of terrorism on small towns, like Lockerbie, Scotland and Shanksville, Pennsylvania, with a documentary screening of “We Were Quiet Once” afterwards. This event will be located in Slocum Auditorium with the panel starting at 7 p.m. and the docu-

mentary screening starting at 8 p.m.

The culminating event of Remembrance Week is the Rose Laying Ceremony on Friday, Oct. 24 at 2:03 p.m., which is the precise time that the Pan Am 103 tragedy occurred in December 1988. Each Remembrance Scholar will speak and then lay a rose on the Wall of Remembrance located in front of the Hall of Languages in honor of an SU student that died in the bombing.

The Remembrance Convocation located in Hendricks Chapel at 3 p.m. will conclude Remembrance Week by honoring this year’s Remembrance and Lockerbie Scholars.

“Although it will be a somber experience, we also hope it will be a celebration of the victims, our university and the belief for a better world,” said Remembrance Scholar Elliott Russell, a bioengineering and biotechnology major in an email. smswann@syr.edu

Bit by Bit Georgia Tech starts to allow students to pay for campus items with Bitcoin

By Maggie Cregan staff writer

S

tudents at the Georgia Institute of Technology can now use the cryptocurrency bitcoin to pay for everything from tuition to concession-stand hot dogs.

Bitcoin is a decentralized online currency, meaning that its transactions are verified by a network of users rather than a bank. Users exchange bitcoins for goods and services with each other and with retailers that accept bitcoins, like Overstock.com, Amazon, Target—and now Georgia Tech.

Students can use bitcoin two ways on campus: by buying concessions via bitcoin point of sale devices at Bobby Dodd Stadium, or using bitcoins to fund their BuzzCards, student cards that can be swiped to pay for campus goods and services.

Students can also “leverage the BitPay/Bitcoin acceptance program for the payment for student tuition, fees, room, board, and other expenses,” James Pete, Georgia Tech’s senior IT director, said in an email.

The concession payment option was launched at the school’s Oct. 5 football game, Pete said. The BuzzCard option was softlaunched Sept. 29, with a formal announcement coming this week, he said.

Transactions in bitcoins are still rare on campus. Jan Jahosky, who works in media relations at BitPay, estimated that fewer than a dozen bitcoin purchases were made at the football game when BitPay was first accepted.

“I’d say it’s probably small right now,” said John Dreyzehner, who works in business development at BitPay, though the company has high hopes for its partnership with Georgia Tech. He said using BitPay benefits both students and the school since BitPay, unlike credit card companies, charges no transaction fees.

He added that BitPay could be especially beneficial for international students, who have to pay hefty currency conversion and wire fees and often have to carry significant amounts of cash on planes. Dreyzehner said that with bitcoin, there would be no fees.

Dreyzehner added that bitcoin could be educational as well as convenient for students.

“The whole invention of bitcoin itself is really fascinating and that’s what I think is valuable for students to learn about,” he said.

“This is probably one of the most significant inventions of their generation. It’s important that they know a little bit about the technology and how it can potentially shape their future.”

BitPay has several ties to Georgia Tech, as the company’s founders, Tony Gallippi and Stephen Pair, are alumni. The company began discussing bringing the BitPay payment option to campus last spring, Dreyzehner said. They also reached a sponsorship arrangement with Georgia Tech’s corporate partnership rights holder, IMG, to get their logo on the stadium’s field—a deal paid for in bitcoins.

Dreyzehner himself accepts his entire salary in bitcoins.

“All employees take a percentage of their salaries in bitcoins,” he said. “We all really believe in bitcoin being the future.”

Georgia Tech’s athletic director, Mike Bobinski, said he is excited to create his own electronic bitcoin wallet, though he hasn’t done so yet.

“I have every intention to do so because I’d

like to actually experience it myself and I think it’s got some really tremendous and interesting applications,” he said.

In the past two years, bitcoin supporters have had to weather suspicions about the reliability of the cryptocurrency, when one bitcoin exchange was shut down for facilitating illegal drug deals and another filed for bankruptcy protection, with hundreds of thousands of bitcoins disappearing in the process.

But Bobinski said that Georgia Tech is assured of bitcoin’s security. “We have not had any issues or any anxieties with that,” he said. “Like a lot of new technologies, there’s a shakeout period of sort of uncertainty early on but I think they’ve managed their way through all that and at this point in time we feel very comfortable.”

He added that bitcoin as a new technology naturally appeals to the university’s techsavvy students. “They’re still very much in an introductory phase, but I think again it’s something that fits Georgia Tech extremely well,” he said. “I think it’ll do nothing but take hold in a bigger way as time goes by.” mmcregan@syr.edu

Tech CEO’s advice on pay raises contributes to problems in workplace

I

n response to a question about pay raises, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella said that women shouldn’t ask for them.

During a panel at the Grace Hopper Celebration of Women in Computing conference on Oct. 9, the new Microsoft CEO said that women should have “faith that the system will actually give you the right raises as you go along.” He also said that women who do not ask for raises have “superpowers” and will receive “good karma.”

As the CEO of a Fortune 100 company and a leader within the tech industry, Nadella should educate himself about the gender wage gap to help combat it. Not only that, but his comments could make some women feel as if they should keep quiet about what they think they deserve.

The technology world is already unwelcome to women, and his comments contribute to that.

His advice is indicative of a common misconception about how the gender wage gap

MANDISA SHIELDS

WHAT A GIRL WANTS works. When a man and a woman have a similar background and do a similar job, but a woman is underpaid, this is the equivalent of saying that she is less valuable because of her gender. If a woman is doing the same work as a man, at the same level, she should be paid the same.

Nadella’s comments also make it clear that he does not fully understand the gender wage gap as well as the many forms it can take on.

Women do not have the luxury of trusting a system that is skewed toward men. Maybe a man can avoid asking for a raise and instead trust that his work will be appreciated, but for women, waiting for their achievements to be noticed can often result in being underpaid.

The CEO’s remarks also reflect on the

absence of women within the tech world.

According to the National Center for Women & Information Technology, in 2013 women held 57 percent of all professional occupations in the U.S., yet only made up 26 percent of the tech industry. Perhaps if there were more women in this occupation, he would better understand how they are affected by the wage gap.

During the panel, moderator Maria Klawe, president of Harvey Mudd College and a member of Microsoft’s board of directors, disagreed with Nadella’s advice and instead told attendees to “do your homework,” instead of trusting the system.

After a slew of angry tweets and being featured on shows like Good Morning America, Nadella eventually came to understand Klawe’s perspective. Late at night on Oct. 9, in an email to Microsoft employees, Nadella apologized for his remarks, saying, “I answered that question completely wrong.”

letter to the editor

Article included wrong information on accessibility Emma Baty’s article “Asking for updates” in the Oct. 14 issue of The Daily Orange contains an assertion that Blackboard — the course management software program used by Syracuse University — is inaccessible to blind computer users.

This used to be true, and in the early days of the program many blindness advocacy groups had to

work hard to get the makers of “Blackboard” to update it for accessibility.

Nowadays, the program is essentially accessible, though its screen interface is complicated and using it without vision isn’t entirely easy. But on balance, the program is now compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act and other

regulatory guidelines.

Stephen Kuusisto Director The Renée Crown University Honors Program University Professor, Center on Human Policy, Law and Disability Studies Syracuse University

He also changed his opinion to support Klawe’s advice saying, “When it comes to career advice on getting a raise when you think it’s deserved, Maria’s advice was the right advice. If you think you deserve a raise, you should just ask.”

In an industry where women are a rarity, a tech CEO should be telling women to put themselves out there and break down barriers, not passively wait to be noticed for their hard work. Telling women to stay quiet about wages is not a way to bring more diversity into the technology world.

Nadella — and any other leaders in the tech industry — should do their research before speaking about what women should do.

editorial board

‘Red Cup Project’ shows fresh perspective “The Red Cup Project” is an interesting and effective way to get students thinking about the harmful waste of partying. The installation should serve as an example that showing — not telling — a problem will garner more interest on campus.

Last weekend, an installation of red Solo cups appeared on the corner of Ackerman and Euclid avenues. It was one of three installations that appeared on campus within the past week, made of over 2,000 used red Solo cups. The four students behind the project built it to raise awareness about how much waste parties at SU produce, considering that red Solo cups are not recyclable at the local Syracuse recycling center.

Presenting the problem visu-

ally contributed to the project’s effectiveness. With all the causes on SU’s campus, this stands out by actually showing the littered cups and the waste the campus party culture produces.

The project conveys a message without preaching to students. If students had stood on the corner of Ackerman and Euclid or the Quad and tried handing out fliers, the project would have blended in with the many other causes promoted on campus. By choosing to place the installation in areas that students pass every day, the project forced them to face the problem instead ignore it, as they could with a flier.

Though an art installation is not the best route for every cause, student-led awareness campaigns

scribble

should think of innovative ways to reach the student body.

Despite its strengths, “The Red Cup Project” needs to ensure that the point of the project is clear as soon as students see it. As the group hopes for variations of this project to reach other college campuses, it should include a staked poster or sign in the future to make the purpose of the setups evident. An installation, even if it’s visually interesting, loses its power if it’s unclear why it’s there.

It can be difficult for students to make their classmates care about a problem. And while this might not stop all students from littering their red Solo cups, “The Red Cup Project” got them thinking about the issue.

HTC has raised the bar and set a new standard for smartphone manufacturing going forward.

Compared to the Samsung Galaxy S5’s 2-megapixel and iPhone 6’s 1.2-megapixel front cameras, the HTC Desire Eye is by far the best user-facing camera we’ve ever seen on a phone. The Desire Eye’s front camera also comes with its own flash and a wide-angle lens to fit as many people in your selfies as possible, according to an Oct. 8 Yahoo article.

It won’t be long until other phone manufacturers steal the idea of equal quality cameras on both sides of the phone, but HTC should take pride in being ahead of the curve.

Selfies are more than a fad and HTC Asst. News Editor Asst. News Editor Asst. Feature Editor Asst. Feature Editor Asst. Sports Editor Asst. Sports Editor Asst. Photo Editor Asst.

should be congratulated for being the first manufacturer to capitalize on that. The company may not have the top selling smartphone, but the Desire Eye offers something unique to the mobile market and could force Snapchat-lovers to reconsider their loyalty.

Along with this new double exposure phone comes an entire imaging software suite they call the HTC Eye Experience, according to the article. The software includes a split-capture feature that allows you to capture photos and videos with both the front and back cameras into one image or video, putting yourself into the experience in front of you.

There is also a voice selfie feature that allows you to snap pictures just by saying “smile” or “say cheese” and a live makeup option which instantly smooths wrinkles

on your face to quickly get your selfie Instagram-ready. This phone has the potential to become a girl’s best friend.

Instead of releasing a big-screen phone to compete with the iPhone 6 and Samsung Galaxy series, HTC wisely focused on making one aspect of the phone better than everyone else. Trying to pull customers away from Apple and Samsung has been unsuccessful in the past, but the Desire Eye finally offers something the other companies can’t.

You might be thinking that a quality front-facing camera won’t be enough to persuade consumers to buy a relatively unknown smartphone. But camera quality will continue to become more vital as more people join Snapchat, one of the fastest growing mobile apps on the market. And the selfie itself dominates

our culture, heard in song lyrics like “But first, let me take a selfie,” an ABC TV show titled “Selfie” and the word “selfie” being added to the Oxford English Dictionary.

Instead of following the trends of other companies, HTC is making the competition come to them. While Apple and Samsung copy ideas from each other, HTC’s research and development team is thinking outside the box. If Snapchat is your go-to app and your photo album is stocked with close-ups of yourself, then the HTC Desire Eye may be the phone for you.

The selfie game has officially been changed forever.

protests were killed while protesting developments in the Vietnam War on May 4, 1970, a student strike effectively shut down the SU campus for more than two weeks.

Construction materials, mattresses and other miscellaneous items were piled to form barricades at the road entrances to the university. Classes were canceled and students flooded the Quad for rallies and demonstrations.

Furor surrounding one grievance fed another, and McClure couldn’t avoid the tide of dissent.

McClure, an untenured faculty member at the time, voted not to give a popular professor tenure.

Walking to work at the Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs, he noticed a group of students picketing outside the building. As he got closer, he realized they were chanting “Fire McClure.”

“I thought it would be prudent to go in the side door that day,” said McClure, Chapple Family Professor of Citizenship and Democracy Emeritus in Maxwell.

Universities, like American society in general, go through an ebb and flow of activism, McClure said. Various factors have fueled past SU protests, and this semester, like in the early 1970s, student activists have seen a diverse range of causes strengthen one another.

“The causes and struggles are being linked and feeding each other,” said Derek Ford, a Ph.D. candidate in the School of Education and member of the ANSWER Coalition.

Ford and Kuebrich of Divest SU both pointed to a perceived “corporatization” of the university as a possible driving force behind this semester’s protest culture. Mounting levels of student debt, compounded by what some students see as insufficient policy on racial and gender issues and a lack of decision-making transparency, have earned the ire of many student activists.

••• Syracuse Police Chief Thomas Sardino sat at the top of the stairs to the then-Tolley Administration Building during the May 1970 student strike, puffing tobacco from a pipe. Paul Finkelman — who McClure called one of the “great agitators of all-time”— and dozens of other students gathered below as they conducted one of a series of sit-ins that semester.

Finkelman remembers Sardino sitting and chatting with students while supervising through the wee hours of the morning. Some protestors whipped out joints and started smoking them in front of their city’s police chief.

cups

red Solo Cup came to mind as a way to physically represent the issue, and the group began to think of ideas to manipulate these cups in an artistic way.

“They’re so red, they’re so present and once you start to see them, you see them everywhere,” said group member Kate Chesebrough, a senior landscape architecture major.

The group collected over 2,000 red Solo Cups in the span of two weekends by picking them up off the street and through collection boxes. As they collected the cups, they took pictures of their various locations and posted them on an interactive map on the project’s

Sardino was asked if he wanted to put some marijuana in his pipe. He smiled and kept smoking, Finkelman remembers. He chose not to incite more tension between students and authority, displaying a deft touch in community relations that students from the tumultuous era still admire.

“He helped the university survive,” said Finkelman, who is now a senior fellow at the Penn Program on Democracy, Citizenship and Constitutionalism at the University of Pennsylvania, and a scholar-in-residence at the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia.

Law enforcement and university administrators proved vital to student expression in the late 1960s and early 1970s. As students carry out a string of demonstrations in a less volatile 2014, Sardino’s son, DPS Associate Chief John Sardino, touts authorities’ ongoing role in preserving peaceful protest.

The SU Department of Public Safety has noticed an uptick in rallies this semester.

While DPS hasn’t been alerted to every rally, it has officially documented three already this semester, compared to one to two in a typical academic year, John Sardino said.

Many members of the university community feel the new administration under Chancellor Kent Syverud has shown itself to be open to protest, despite some student qualms about its willingness to respond to protest with policy changes.

It’s about knowing when you’re right even when it seems unpopular.

Ben Kuebrich composition and cultural rhetoric graduate student

“Recently we have been reminded that one of (the) best things about our students is that they are not afraid to speak up for issues they truly care about and change they envision,” said Kevin Quinn, SU senior vice president for public affairs in an email.

••• Prominent environmental activist Van Jones spoke in Hendricks Chapel this month with an orange Divest SU square tacked to his chest. Nearly two years since Ben Kuebrich helped shape the group after American environmentalist Bill McKibben’s speech in the same building, Divest SU has yet to achieve its concrete goal.

official Twitter account, @redcupproject.

The first installation appeared Sunday on the corner of Ackerman and Euclid avenues.

The group created a bridge that spanned the sidewalk with two large piles of cups on either side. All installation locations were strategically chosen. Group members said this spot was selected because most of the 2,000 cups were picked up and collected off the front lawns of houses along Euclid. Each installation stayed at its location for one day.

They wanted the cups to be organic and to flow in a natural way. They designed red Solo cup blankets that acted in this manner.

“What we had now were these big blankets of cups, and we wanted them to choke the sidewalk. You had to face it, you had to confront it,

After gaining significant support on campus, the group received a letter saying SU would not divest.

The decision — a careful consideration of the university endowment and resources — didn’t irk Kuebrich as much as Divest SU’s exclusion from the decision-making process and a lack of sustained conversation on alternative steps the university could take. The decision helped provide the impetus for a Sept.

30 rally, which brought roughly 80 people to the steps of Hendricks Chapel.

“It’s about knowing when you’re right even when it seems unpopular,” said Kuebrich.

Divest SU faces a challenge that has hampered generations of student demonstrators — converting public expression to concrete policy changes. Members of the university community stress that specific proposals and sustained expression of grievances remain the best ways to affect change in the university.

Kadisha Phillips felt a similar sense of symbolic achievement as she sat on the steps of Hendricks Chapel in silence earlier this month.

Phillips, press and publicity chair for the SU chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, helped conceive the chapter’s silent protest outside a university-sponsored forum on diversity issues.

Phillips felt the strength of the rally when passersby previously unaware of the protest sat down in solidarity. But despite any additional support garnered that day, the NAACP has yet to see a concrete response to alleviate its concerns.

Kuebrich noted that SU has taken some, though not comprehensive, steps to appease student concerns this semester. After the university announced it would cut off two locations in its Posse program — which traditionally provides full scholarships to students from key locations — a protest took place on campus.

SU would go on to revise its Posse policy, extending its Atlanta program by one year. Kuebrich also pointed to the Chancellor’s Workgroup on Sexual Violence Prevention, Education and Advocacy. The university formed the workgroup in response to backlash over its decision to close the Advocacy Center and transfer its services to the Counseling Center.

Many student activists for the two causes would feel the policy doesn’t go far enough in alleviating concerns. But student activists have said that persistence will serve them better than just about anything else.

Said Kuebrich: “It remains to be seen if all this activity brings more action.” jspramuk@syr.edu

you had a moment of total immersion of red Solo Cups,” Chesebrough said.

The second installment Monday was placed on the corner of Euclid and Comstock avenues. This time the group crafted a “carpet” by crushing and placing the cups in a net. They chose this location as it bridges the public space of the residential neighborhood and the start of the private space of the university.

The third installation brought the cups to the Quad, as the group put them in cardboard boxes to show students what 2,000 red Solo Cups looks like.

Brown said that as a part of the critique, the students could not just throw the cups back into the waste cycle — they must find a way to recycle them. The closest recycling plant that deals with these plastics is the Tompkins Com-

Salt Market showcases local artists

By Taylor Georgeson contributing writer

When Briana Kohlbrenner and her husband moved to Syracuse in 2003, one of their favorite things to do was visit local markets. But it wasn’t long before they felt they had seen everything there was to see.

Kohlbrenner wanted more, so she decided to create a market of her own.

In 2009, Kohlbrenner and her friend Vanessa Rose started the Salt Market, a marketplace that, once a year, features items created and sold by artists in the central New York region.

“There is no other market like it in the area,” Kohlbrenner said. “Our customers like that we are constantly bringing something fresh to the market scene.”

This Saturday, Kohlbrenner and Rose are embarking on their biggest venture yet: a showcase of 56 vendors, compared to the 30–50 they’ve hosted in previous years.

It has a downtown, urban vibe that is great for craft people to share their creativity together.

Football student managers balance academics, working for team

By Brett Samuels asst. news editor

T

en Syracuse University students attend football practices four days a week.

They’re at the Carrier Dome hours before kickoff on the weekends, they travel to road games and they’re on the sidelines on gameday.

But they’re not on the team.

“It’s almost like being a Division I athlete, except we’re not playing,” said Zach Thebner, a sophomore public relations major and student manager for the SU football team.

Each of the 10 student managers face a demanding schedule every week, beginning in August with training camp and sometimes lasting into winter break. In addition to juggling

classes and the demands of being a college student, student managers assist in prepping the practice fields during the week and assisting with equipment and other tasks on game days.

Steve Fantigrossi, a senior political science major, is the head student manager for the team. Fantigrossi said he and the other managers arrive at Manley Field House around 2 p.m. on weekdays to set up the equipment the coaches need for practice. Each manager is responsible for assisting the coaches of a particular position group such as linebackers, quarterbacks or running backs.

Practices finish around 6:30 p.m.

After, the managers get dinner, and a few stay to wash the team’s equipment, said Dan Connolly, a junior finance major and second-year manager.

“We’re the first ones on the field and the last ones off,” Connolly said.

But when gameday rolls around

We’re the first ones on the field and the last ones off.

Dan Connolly football student manager

it’s a much different process. Fantigrossi said managers arrive at least five hours early for the game to make sure everything is ready to go.

That means preparing uniforms and pads for the game, redoing helmet stickers, cleaning visors and setting up the field with coaches’ headsets and

other equipment, said Jakob Bocianski, a junior sport management major in his second year as a manager.

Once the game begins, each manager has a role. A couple managers make sure the officials have a fresh ball when necessary during the game, one tracks plays and others assist with the personnel on offense and defense.

“Of course the game is what we work for all week,” Fantigrossi said.

“So it’s incredible to get a front row seat on the sideline and even play a role in the game depending on what job you’re doing that particular day.”

But when the game ends, the managers’ jobs don’t.

“Most people will go after the game to hang out with friends but we still have work to do,” Thebner said.

“It is a lot of work but we are growing every year,” Kohlbrenner said. “The market offers something for everyone and is targeted for people of all ages and not from one specific area.”

The market had a good showing in its first year and has grown since.

Kohlbrenner and Rose expanded their team in 2010 to include Stasya Erickson and Courtney Rile.

“We found people wanted to support the market and wanted to shop more,” Kohlbrenner said.

The expansion of the market is partially attributed to this year’s new location at SKY Armory, Kohlbrenner said. SKY Armory is an event space that opened in Armory Square last month.

National Aquatic Service offers scuba lessons, lake dives

By Abby Maddigan staff writer

ant deep down confidence?

That’s the motto at The National Aquatic Service on Erie Boulevard.

With expert services, lessons and trained staff, the National Aquatic Service is ready for anyone willing to dive in.

Dr. Jere Hallenbeck founded the National Aquatic Service in 1959. Hallenbeck was an educational psychologist and diving pioneer that spearheaded the scuba diving culture in central New York. He and his partner, Paul Snook, expanded the company and used their passion to teach diving to thousands of people in the area.

Today, the NAS is considered the largest scuba diving school in the Northeastern United States and has taught more than 34,000 people to dive. The NAS has also teamed up with 14 upstate colleges and universities, including Syracuse University, to provide scuba and diving lessons to interested students.

Vice President Chris Ryan said that they teach about 45–60 Syracuse University students per semester.

“It’s definitely a fun thing to try,” Ryan said.

“It is the closest thing to going to outer space, but instead, you are going to inner space.”

Students who prefer lessons through the NAS store are given a variety of options to begin their aquatic adventures. At the NAS, students have the opportunity to take a plethora of courses including scuba diving, snorkeling, free diving and swimming.

The NAS takes students of all levels. You can

begin by learning to dive and eventually further your skills to become a diving professional.

Scuba training begins with a seven-week beginner course in which students are required to attend a three hour lesson one night each week.

The lesson is broken down into classroom and pool time so that students can learn the basics and then try for themselves.

It’s definitely a fun thing to try. It is the closest thing to going to outer space, but instead, you are going to inner space.

Chris Ryan nas vice president

Ryan explained that by doing an hour of training in the classroom and two hours in the pool, students are able to go slowly through the

skills. This ensures instructors that every diver is comfortable before they advance onto open water dives. At the end of the seven-week course, students are eligible to be certified as a scuba diver.

For students who are on the fence about committing to a seven-week scuba diving journey, there is an option for those who want to just test the waters. Only through the NAS store on Erie Boulevard are perspective divers able to sign up for a single class to see if scuba diving is something they want to get more involved with.

Students can sign up by appointment and receive a one-hour class and a few hours of pool time to get the feel of this underwater sport.

Once divers have excelled in their lessons and preliminary dives, they are sent 45 minutes north to Skaneateles Lake for an open-water dive.

“The water is crystal clear,” said Ryan. “It is such a great place to dive because of the great visibility and there is so much to see.”

Shipwrecks and fish are among some of the “great sights,” that Ryan mentioned. Despite central New York’s treacherous winters, the NAS

hosts open water dives year-round, even in the winter. Ryan said the only time they’re limited is when the lake is covered in ice, and he added that even then some people still dive in.

DIVE IN SU students can take one-credit scuba, advanced scuba and underwater photography classes in the fall and spring semesters. source: su course catalog

In the winter, divers are required to wear a dry suit and a layer of dry suit underwear, which keeps them warm and dry when entering the depths of Skaneateles Lake. Once divers are all geared up in their dry suit apparel, they can swim in the frigid water for about a half hour.

Open water dives in Skaneateles are offered regularly throughout the week. On October 25 from 4–9 p.m., NAS participants are invited to join in an underwater pumpkin carving contest and picnic at the lake. ammaddig@syr.edu

“It has a downtown, urban vibe that is great for craft people to share their creativity together,” she said. “We are local partners with food and drink companies from the area and we think the market is a great community event.”

Kohlbrenner said she hopes the Salt Market will continue to expand and even one day hold a second market in the spring.

Preparation for the event begins about six months in advance, and the event is always held in October, Kohlbrenner said.

During the summer, Kohlbrenner and her team usually spend one to two months looking for vendors and hiring artists to design

promotion items for the event, such as posters and tote bags.

One of this year’s participants is Recess Coffee, located in the Westcott area. Recess has been a vendor at the market for five years. Allison Beondé, the communications coordinator for Recess Coffee, said the company always enjoys coming to the market to connect with old and new vendors.

“We really love the opportunity to see all of the wonderful creative products and art being produced in our region,” Beondé said.

Six months of planning culminates this weekend, and it’s Kohlbrenner’s favorite day of the entire process.

“The whole day is full of adrenaline and meeting old and new artists. It is hard to resist buying everything and spending all of my money,” she said, laughing. tgeorges@syr.edu

managers Thebner said the managers can work up to 14 hours on game days. After the game, they move everything off the field, bring the equipment back to Manley Field House and put all the players’ equipment back in their lockers.

Since the managers are constantly working for the team during the week, it can be difficult to balance their work on the field with their schoolwork.

Connolly said balancing the job with other responsibilities is all about time management.

If certain managers have exams or other assignments, the group will work out who stays later to accommodate schedules. Despite the constant commitment during the season, which can stretch

from August to December if the team makes a bowl game, Connolly said he loves every second of it.

Many of the managers find time for activities outside of the classroom and away from the field as well. Connolly is in Delta Sigma Pi, a business fraternity on campus. Thebner is a member of Syracuse Cru and Fantigrossi is a student representative on the University Senate.

“It’s not so much that we don’t have the time, it’s about finding the time and motivation to get work done even after an exhausting day of classes and practice,” Fantigrossi said.

The challenge of balancing schoolwork with the duties of the job is something shared by all of the student managers. With all of the time they spend together, the group has developed strong friendships with one another.

It’s also led to relationships with coaches and players. Fantigrossi said the coaches know each managers’ name, and head coach Scott Shafer introduced them to the team at the start of the year.

The players are also friendly with the managing crew. While some of them don’t know how much work goes into the job, Connolly said once the players see the time the managers put in, they’re usually surprised and appreciative.

Regardless of how well the players and coaches are doing on the field, Fantigrossi said the managers are always focused and working hard.

Said Fantigrossi: “Whether the team is undefeated or hasn’t won a game, that’s what we strive for — being the best manager crew in the nation.” blsamuel@syr.edu

Hillel inspired by past events to host 1st Matzo Ball formal

By Madysan Foltz staff writer

Hillel is redefining matzo balls this Friday.

Two students, Lauren Petrocci, a junior economics major, and Sarah Schugel, an undeclared junior in the College of Arts and Sciences, are bringing the Matzo Ball, a formal event, to Syracuse through Syracuse University’s Hillel program.

“We were talking to an alumni and he had told us about how people had continuously tried to make this event happen,” said Schugel, a student intern at Hillel. “He jokingly said, ‘If you guys make this happen, I’ll come back to school for it.’ So we made it happen.”

Hillel’s first ever Matzo Ball formal will be held on Saturday from 9 p.m. to midnight. The event will start with a brief havdalah service. Havdalah is a prayer service held no earlier than sundown

on Saturdays to mark the end of Shabbat, the day dedicated to relaxation and reflection on the past week. Then, the formal will commence, featuring photo booths, snacks, DJs and dancing.

It’s the idea that Hillel will become a place that can be a stronger community for those that want to make it their home.

Zach Goldberg hillel student union board president

Matzo Ball is a reflection of Hillel’s past. Brian Small, the executive director of Hillel, said Hillel

held big social events years ago in Armory Square around Jewish holidays. Those events went out of fashion, he said, because Hillel didn’t want to promote student drinking on campus.

But once students heard about the events Hillel has held in the past, they wanted a piece of the action. And Small said he thinks that’s a good thing.

“This will be a formal for anyone,” Small said. “Greek life formals are more exclusionary, not by a fault of anyone, but just in nature.

We wanted a formal where everyone from all walks of life in the university could all kind of come together and socialize.”

Small said the name was chosen because the event was planned to be held over Passover, the Jewish holiday in which matzo balls are most popular. He thought it was clever and appropriate for the attitude they wanted the event to exude.

Zach Goldberg, president of SU Hillel’s Jew-

ish Student Union board, said that the event is solely meant to be a fun night and a way to open Hillel’s door to the campus.

“Really the main goal is bringing together the community on campus,” Goldberg said.

“It’s the idea that Hillel will become a place that can be a stronger community for those that want to make it their home.”

Schugel, the student intern, hopes that the Matzo Ball will shine a new light on Hillel and the events it holds for both current and prospective members.

“I’m looking forward to just having a great night at Hillel and having a new image for Hillel,” Schugel said. “It’s more than just a place to come and pray. It’s so much more than that. I can’t wait to see everyone dress up in their cool, cute dresses and suits and just have a good time.” mgfoltz@syr.edu

Columnist finds profiles on Tinder disappointing, uninteresting

I

n the name of immersive journalism, I decided to get a Tinder for the weekend.

I wanted to see what all the hubbub has been about for the past year or two. For the laymen out there, Tinder is kind of like speed dating in app form. Using your Facebook info, the app just lists off people within a radius you define and with a swipe of the thumb, you can either “nope” or “like” them. Judging other people has never been so easy.

Given the fact that Tinder has so many users,

ZACH SCHWEIKERT

KEEPIN’ IT FAKE I figured I’d find all kinds of interesting people on there. According to Wired, 10 million people use the app on a daily basis. With that many people, how could I not find some fascinating folks? I certainly did find some interesting people, but I kept finding them over and over again.

I then realized that Tinder is like a scary, selfie filled digital grocery store. There are around seven or eight aisles, each containing one type of food. There may be different brands, but everything in each aisle is pretty much the same at the end of the day. In a world with millions of users, I found I could easily fit those in a five-mile radius into definable groups.

When I first got the app, I was surprised by the number of sad baby boomers from Middle-of-nowhereville. Maybe these people are really just trying to find interesting people around them, or maybe there’s an active community of hook-up seeking 60-year-olds. I have nothing against them, but I found out that they miraculously disappear when you lower the age range. Verdict: left-swipe — until 2050.

One of the more frustrating users I encountered is the person who only has group pictures.

They get extra points if all of their pictures are taken with the same friend. It’s great that people have friends and all, but if you want to be superficially judged, it’s best to let all the creepers know what you look like. Verdict: left-swipe.

When swiping right and left like a judgmental maniac, my swiping would often come to a screeching halt when I found a person with a shared interest. Seeing the common interest button lit up always warrants a deeper investigation.

Eleven times out of 10, the singular common interest that I found was Humans of New

York. Every once in a while there’s a Buffalo Wild Wings in there, but if Tinder has taught me anything, it’s that Humans of New York is super popular. Verdict: left-swipe, except for the girl who also likes the Sex Pistols.

As I continued my swiping, I realized how millennials have a seemingly endless array of name variations. In the mid-90s, it must have been pretty popular for parents to just go wild with name spellings. For every Jessica there were about 800 variations of her name.

Gezzikuh is cool, I guess. Verdict: variable.

My personal favorite Tinderers are those with the generic Facebook silhouette as their photo.

That’s when you’ve found somebody really special. Maybe they’re lazy, but maybe they were sticking it to the instant judgment thing. Either way, they get my right-swipe every time.

I guess for what people use it for, Tinder can be a pretty useful app. But don’t you want people to know more about you than the fact that you like Humans of New York and take grainy pictures in sketchy basements with your bros or ladies? If not, then go ahead and keep on Tindering. As for me, I’d like to know a little bit more about you. I’m skeptical if there can be such a thing as love at first swipe.

As SU regains its experienced, bigger bodies to allocate to the interior of the defensive line, its renewed depth allows its ends to return to their natural positions and make plays.

Raymon — who Shafer previously called a “long shot” to play this year — made his season debut two weeks ago, marking his full recovery from the season-ending knee injury he suffered at Georgia Tech last October.

Junior nose tackle Wayne Williams has increasingly become a presence in SU’s run defense — which has allowed just four touchdowns, third-best in the ACC. Defensive coordinator Chuck Bullough also said that nose tackle Eric Crume will be “ready to play” against the Demon Deacons.

“If the inside does well, the rest of the D-line does well,” defensive end Micah Robinson said.

“They force the pocket back, the quarterback has nowhere to go but the outside.”

If Wake Forest’s numbers are any indication, Syracuse’s defensive line is in for a field day Saturday.

The Demon Deacons are dead last in the nation with averages of 213 total yards per game and 31 rushing yards per game — a consequence of graduating their starting running back from last year and having their second- and third-string tailbacks dismissed from WFU before the season started.

A month ago, Wake Forest’s rushing attack

They’re working hard, but it’s certainly a work in progress and we’re nowhere close to where we need to be.

Dave Clawson wake forest head coach

revolved around a converted wide receiver, a true freshman and a converted tight end.

“They’re working hard,” WFU head coach Dave Clawson said during the Sept. 17 ACC coaches’ teleconference, “but it’s certainly a work in progress and we’re nowhere close to where we need to be.”

Robinson said despite the Demon Deacons’ poor numbers, the Orange’s front four isn’t approaching the game any differently. Shafer and Bullough said they expect a more extensive game plan offensively with WFU coming off a bye week.

“I think it’s more of a game that we match up with them athletically,” Bullough said.

Bullough said he and the coaches are concerned that, naturally, their defensive linemen will slack on their technique as the season progresses and minor injuries will amount.

They’re stressing to the players not to take “the easy way out,” and fall into habits of slipping blocks instead of filling their assigned gap.

That wasn’t an issue against Florida State’s highly regarded offensive line, but there’s still room for Syracuse’s defensive line to grow.

“As a coach, there’s always mistakes.

There’s always mental errors, technique errors,” Bullough said. “That’s every game.

We’ve just got to keep improving on what we’re doing.” pmdabbra@syr.edu | @PhilDAbb

national

Torbush fosters renewal of football team at Eastern Tennessee

By Connor Grossman staff writer

Carl Torbush had no intention of ever coaching football again after 39 years on the job.

He had retired on Douglas Lake in Eastern Tennessee and was content with life in his lake house.

But a call from former national champion coach and longtime friend Phillip Fulmer revived his career. Fulmer was initially the primary coaching candidate to resurrect the East Tennessee State University football program. But he thought Torbush, who grew up in Knoxville, Tennessee, would jump at the chance to take charge of a program in his home state.

“Two or three of our final candidates told us, ‘Well if I get the job, the first thing I’m going to do is hire Carl Torbush to be my defensive coordinator,’” Director of Intercollegiate Ath-

from page 24

notebook “I don’t think there’s a coach in the country who goes into a season and says, ‘Man, I hope we play a true freshman quarterback this year,’” Clawson said. “If you’re playing a true freshman quarterback, it’s because something went wrong.”

Clawson said that against the Seminoles on Oct. 4, WFU didn’t drop Wolford back to pass as much to avoid him taking unnecessary hits in what

letics Richard Sander said.

That made the choice obvious for Sander.

Now Torbush, a former national defensive coordinator of the year, is trying to not only lead a football team, but also completely rebuild a program that shut down in 2003 due to financial constraints. His soft, southern accent and Tennessee roots help him represent the program that’s building a team that hopes to start playing competitive games when it joins the Southern Conference next season.

He has a team with full gear going through an entire season of scrimmages to prepare for its first official game in 12 years — on Sept. 3, 2015 against Kennesaw State.

“He isn’t just coaching us on the field,” freshman receiver Adam Mitchell said. “He’s turning us into good people that can become good fathers, good husbands and it’s not all about football with him.”

The rebuilding process progresses each day,

starting with a horn blaring at 4:30 p.m. to signal the start of practice that revs up a different side of Torbush.

When hired a year ago, Torbush was handed an empty roster without names on it. Through a series of meticulous tryouts and recruiting with his two assistant coaches, the roster now is full with 85 names.

But football experience was only one facet of what ETSU was looking for in its next coach. The program that had fought just to start again needed a face and an ambassador. That’s what ETSU found in Torbush, who prides himself on attending every home sporting event.

“It’s comparable to running for political office,” Torbush said. “I get out and speak to as many organizations, churches and schools as I can to spread the word and goodwill of East Tennessee State.

“I’m basically speaking every day and every night.”

The football coach by day, salesman by night lifestyle isn’t likely to end in his immediate future. Torbush’s job is to breathe life back into a program left for dead by the university and fans a decade ago.

He’s experienced the collective bravado surrounding a dynastic program like Alabama, where he coached from 2001–02, and dealt with a minuscule Division II program at his alma mater, Carson-Newman, from 2006–08.

He can balance his team’s own budget and he can convince players to stay home in Tennessee to play football.

Because in a lot of ways, he’s done the same thing.

“They don’t have to worry about me going anywhere else,” Torbush said, “Because I’m going to be here at East Tennessee to see where we can take this thing.

“This is going to be my last stop.”

ended up being a 40-3 loss.

Said Clawson: “Every quarterback has a breaking point in terms of overload, giving them too much. And that breaking point with a freshman happens a lot quicker than it does with a veteran quarterback.”

ference Wednesday.

“Ivan’s worked really hard trying to get back, but it’s not coming along as fast as anyone would hope,” Shafer said. “Luckily nothing is going to force us to have surgery or anything like that, but it’s a lot of healing and when you have two lower-body injuries at the same time, it makes it difficult for a kid to keep up his rehab.”

SU is evaluating the 6-foot-5, 292-pound lineman’s recovery somewhat day-to-day, Shafer said, but more so week-by-week. Foy suffered the injury

in the second quarter of SU’s 31-15 loss to Notre Dame on Sept. 27.

Junior Michael Lasker replaced him at first before Omari Palmer moved from right guard to right tackle.

“Difficult process for Ivan, which is really a shame because he was playing extremely well,” Shafer said. “He was really becoming the type of right tackle that we thought would be a very good player for this year and the following year.”

Shafer gives update on Foy injury Ivan Foy, SU’s right tackle who has a year of eligibility left after this season, is battling two lower-leg injuries, Shafer said on the telecon-

Syracuse hopes to salvage conference season against UND

By Paul Schwedelson staff writer

Players dive to the ground to win loose balls.

They argue over what should be a foul. The score is kept in nearly every drill.

Syracuse is trying to finish its final four regular season games strong by keeping practice intense, despite end-of-season soreness. And up next by adjusting his starting lineup for VS Notre Dame @ SU Soccer Stadium nearly every game, Saturday, 5 p.m.

SU head coach Phil Wheddon has promoted competition in practice.

“Hopefully we grow and we peak at the right time, which should be around mid-October,” Wheddon said on Sept. 16.

Though practice intensity remains high, SU (5-7-3, 2-4 Atlantic Coast) has already been eliminated from ACC tournament contention and hasn’t won consecutive games since the first week of September. The

Orange is coming off two conference road games — both shutout losses — as it returns to SU Soccer Stadium to play No. 13 Notre Dame (9-4-1, 4-2) at 5 p.m. Saturday.

After beating Boston College 3-0 on Oct. 4, captain Jackie Firenze said she thought it might be a turning point. Before that game, Syracuse lacked consistent scoring and she said beating the Eagles could spark the offense moving forward.

But the Orange followed up that performance with a 2-0 loss at No. 2 Florida State and a 1-0 loss at then-No. 24 Clemson. It is now mid-October and SU is still searching for consecutive conference wins. And three of Syracuse’s final four opponents are in the top-15 of the National Soccer Coaches Association of America rankings.

“It started off strong against BC,” sophomore defender Maddie Iozzi said. “Kind of lost a little bit of that peak this weekend but I think these next four games are a great opportunity for us to get that right back.”

In six ACC games, Syracuse has a goal differential of minus-1 but has lost four times. In

the other five conference games other than Boston College, the Orange’s goal differential is minus-4.

Wheddon acknowledges the challenges of playing strong teams and has been modeling his coaching to prepare for them.

It started off strong against BC. Kind of lost a little bit of that peak this weekend but I think these next four games are a great opportunity for us to get that right back.

Maddie Iozzi sU defender

“We’re still doing some good things,” Wheddon said. “We’re knocking the ball around well, we’ve got good possession. We’re just not creating the opportunities.”

As the season wears on, Wheddon has also

adjusted the drills he runs in practice. In the beginning of the season, drills were designed for players to practice more technical skills in smaller spaces.

Now, drills are designed to practice working together with more teammates at once, similar to gamelike situations.

“We want to make sure that our players are playing together on a larger field more often,” Wheddon said. “Earlier on in the season we did a lot of small-sided stuff. Now we’re focusing on our game play.”

To be eligible to qualify for the NCA A tournament, Syracuse needs to have at least a .500 record. With each loss, its already-slim postseason chances are thinning, but there are four games left in the regular season to finish strong.

And it starts with Notre Dame on Saturday.

“We’re looking forward to this game, looking forward to playing at home,” Wheddon said. “It should be a good crowd, playing against a good team and our team, our players rise to the occasion.” pmschwed@syr.edu

Yelin meets former team UofL

By Jack Rose staff writer

Anne Kordes loved playing for Leonid Yelin.

But she hates coaching against him, even though her teams haven’t lost a single set to him and Syracuse since she became Louisville’s head coach.

This year’s Orange (7-11, 0-6 Atlantic Coast) will look to change that up next when it takes on the CarVS Louisville dinals (11-7, 3-3) at 7 p.m. @ Women’s Building Friday in the Women’s Friday, 7 p.m.

Building. Kordes has tremendous respect for her former coach, although Yelin downplayed the matchup.

As Louisville’s head coach from 1996–2010, Yelin won 366 games and made 14 NCAA tournament appearances. There, he coached Kordes from 1996–97 and Dukule for four years .

“One of the greatest opportunities I’ve ever had is to play for someone with so much knowledge like Coach Yelin,” Kordes said.

He learned to play volleyball in his home country of Uzbekistan, where he played for six years for the men’s national team before coaching both men’s and women’s national teams.

“There’s a whole international style out there,” Kordes said.

Yelin taught Kordes, a Louisville native and UofL setter in the mid-1990s, different ways to set and serve. When she arrived at UofL, she thought of her job as simply getting the ball into the air, but

Yelin taught her otherwise.

He taught her that serving the ball is a lot like pitching a baseball — there are ways to hit the ball that gives it different spin to make the ball drop and move in different ways.

Now coaching a team of her own, Kordes incorporates Yelin’s perspective into her coaching style.

But Yelin is tired of talking about Louisville.

Now that all his former players have graduated, Yelin said he doesn’t feel a big connection to the program he once led.

“I wouldn’t say it’s extra motivation for me. No. It’s just a game,” he said.

Nonetheless, a framed poster celebrating his 400th s career victory still hangs in his office. And when talking about deficiencies in the Syracuse program, he often references things Louisville had, such as a better gym and more fan support.

Dukule doesn’t feel conflicted coaching against her former program either, but thinks Yelin downplays his feelings for Louisville.

“Obviously we want to do great against them,” she said. “Of course, everyone would feel something.”

With prior relationships tying together both benches, SU looks for its first ACC win of the season and Louisville tries to improve its start.

After going 18-0 in the American Athletic Conference last season, the Cardinals are just 3-3 in the ACC this year and, like the Orange, in need of a shot in the arm.

“I don’t want to lose,” Kordes said. “But I don’t want my friends to lose.” jlrose@syr.edu

Scott finds success at Wake Forest after 4 years at UVA

By Sam Blum asst. copy editor

Coming out of high school, E.J. Scott received “a boatload” of Division I football offers that he narrowed down to two options.

Virginia was No. 1 on his list. Wake Forest was No. 2.

UVA was closer. His family lived around there.

His sister also attended college locally at Old Dominion. In theory, it was the obvious fit.

“The triangle family aspect of it was perfect,” said Kevin McFadden, his high school assistant coach, of Scott’s reasoning for choosing Virginia.

“For his mom and his dad to get to him, and then to get to his sister and get back home.”

But after catching just 32 passes in his first four years with the Cavaliers, Scott transferred to Wake Forest and is now second on the team with 267 receiving yards and first with four touchdown catches.

And Scott — who McFadden calls a “possession receiver” and a “first-down guy” — will be a big part of Wake Forest’s (2-4, 0-2 Atlantic Coast) game plan as it looks to compensate for a weak running game against Syracuse (2-4, 0-2) at noon on Saturday.

“It was an opportunity to get on the field, to play,” Scott said. “… The past is the past.”

Scott fills a void left by former Wake Forest wide receiver Michael Campanaro, who now plays for the Baltimore Ravens. Those two, along with current WFU cornerback Kevin Johnson, were all best friends growing up in Maryland.

Johnson said he was disappointed when Scott decided on UVA four years ago. When WFU had a hole coming into this season, Johnson reached out.

Then the Demon Deacons took him on a whim.

Wake Forest head coach Dave Clawson reached out to a coaching friend of his at Virginia and only then was Scott offered a walk-on spot at WFU. But Scott has since been put on scholarship and that decision is one that he’s justified with his play.

“He’s been a godsend for us,” Clawson said during the Sept. 10 ACC coaches’ teleconference. “…

He is the same person every day out there and with where we are in the program, how young we are, we need people like that to kind of show the way.”

There was no learning curve with the new playbook, Scott said, since everyone had to adjust with Clawson in his first season this year. So instead of playing catch-up, he’s leading the charge.

Scott said he didn’t want to look back at his lack of playing time at Virginia. All he wants to do is work on contributing for the Demon Deacons.

UVA head coach Mike London didn’t talk much about Scott when asked on the ACC coaches’ teleconference on Wednesday and didn’t play him much in four seasons.

London said he hasn’t kept in contact and is not focused on Scott’s current season. He wished him well, though, in “whatever he’s doing.”

And in just six games with his new team, Scott has proven that he’s worth a shot.

“I enjoy playing this sport and have success doing it,” Scott said. “I’m just trying to make the most of my opportunities.” sblum@syr.edu | @SamBlum3

from page 24

louisville Connecticut on Tuesday, it managed seven corner kicks and scored off two of them. Hilliard and Thomas each knocked one in.

Hilliard’s two goals against the Demon Deacons marked the first time he scored since 2012, and his brace against the Huskies quadrupled his career goal total in just two games.

Against Connecticut, a Murrell corner was stopped by a Huskies’ defender, but a bad touch fell to Hilliard and he found the back of the net.

“We’ve waited, what, four years for this?”

McIntyre said of Hilliard’s recent scoring streak.

“We talk about it with attacking players, goals are like buses. You wait a long time for one and then they all come together. ” Five minutes after Hilliard scored on Tuesday, he picked up an assist on Thomas’ goal.

Murrell lined up for another corner, and Hilliard was first to the ball and put a shot on goal.

UConn keeper Scott Levene saved the initial shot, but Thomas picked up the rebound and poked it in.

And The back line’s production hasn’t come at a cost on the defensive end.

The Huskies didn’t muster one shot on net. The closest was an Ethan Vanacore-Decker free kick that hit the post during SU’s slow start.

“It’s just hard work and buying into our system that we play in and really applying it,” Hilliard said.

“Communication is definitely great and just having faith in the boys that you’re playing next to.”

Even though the defense — along with goalkeeper Alex Bono — has posted shutouts in 10 games this season, they want to continue turning defensive success into offensive results.

Said Murrell: “The less they score, the more we’ll score.” jrmettus@syr.edu

SU backs look for more goals

D-line leads steady defense into Wake Forest

By Phil D’Abbraccio asst. sports editor

Syracuse’s offense has been welldocumented this season.

Terrel Hunt is out four to six weeks.

There’s a new offensive coordinator.

The Orange can’t find the end zone.

But as the offense shuffles through personnel changes, deals with injuries

and makes tactical adjustments, the other side of the ball remains a steady, almost quiet constant — with the front four leading the way in recent weeks.

“It starts up front with the D-line,” junior nose tackle John Raymon said. “It’s always been that way since I’ve been here.

“We predicate our team on defense and getting turnovers and regardless if

it’s (Terrel) Hunt or AJ (Long) or Mitch Kimble or Austin Wilson, the defense comes to play and make turnovers.”

The Orange’s defensive line had the strongest showing of the defensive units against Florida State on Saturday.

The group is primed for an even stronger showing when SU (2-4, 0-2 Atlantic Coast) lines up against one of the worst offenses in the country in Wake Forest

(2-4, 0-2) on Saturday at noon in Winston-Salem, North Carolina.

“I thought the defensive line, against one of the best offensive lines we’ve seen in a long time, the thing I liked most was their fight,” SU head coach Scott Shafer said of the line’s outing against FSU. “Our defensive line has really been pressed … now we just need to get more see defensive

Shafer, Clawson discuss true freshman quarterbacks

By Phil D’Abbraccio asst. sports editor

As Syracuse and Wake Forest find themselves sitting near the bottom of the Atlantic Division of the Atlantic Coast Conference, they do so with true freshman quarterbacks currently leading their offenses.

SU (2-4, 0-2 ACC) head coach Scott Shafer confirmed during the ACC coaches’ teleconference Wednesday morning that AJ Long will be his starting quarterback at Wake Forest (2-4, 0-2) on Saturday as sophomore Austin Wilson is recovering from an upper-body injury and Terrel Hunt is

sidelined with a fractured fibula.

“Pleased with his first output and looking forward to seeing how he can go against a very good Wake Forest defense,” Shafer said of Long. “When he’s on the move, he has good vision down the field and he can also still give us the designed quarterback run plays that cause defenses headaches.”

In Long’s collegiate debut against Florida State, he impressed not only his coaches and teammates, but also his next opponent.

Wake Forest head coach Dave Clawson said during the teleconference that Long has benefited from being surrounded by a veteran

offensive line and added that WFU’s defense will have to key in on bringing Long down and not allowing him to extend plays with his feet.

The Demon Deacons start John Wolford, another true freshman signalcaller. To this point in the season, the Jacksonville, Florida native has completed 59.3 percent of his passes, averaging 177.2 yards per game and throwing six touchdowns to 11 interceptions.

Clawson complimented Wolford’s poise and maturity, but the stats indicate that he’s struggled to get WFU’s offense — worst in the country in yards per game — off the ground. see notebook page 18

STORRS, Conn. — When Syracuse head coach Ian McIntyre played soccer for Hartwick College in the early 1990s, he earned a reputation as a clutch goal scorer, despite playing on the back line.

In his four-yea r up next career, he tallied 18 @ Louisville @ Dr. Mark & Cindy goals and Lynn Stadium 10 assists.

Friday, 7:30 p.m.

In 1993, he scored game-winning goals in backto-back NCAA tournament games.

Now McIntyre’s defenders with the Orange use his past as motivation.

“We always joke around about us scoring goals,” SU defender Jordan Murrell said. “We need to score goals.

Our coach used to be a defender and he used to score goals.”

And as of late, the back line has been producing offensively.

A defender has scored five of SU’s last nine goals and in the past two games alone, the back three of Murrell, Tyler Hilliard and Skylar Thomas has four goals and three assists.

For a team that’s earned half of its wins by 1-0 decisions, scoring, especially from defenders, hasn’t been the benchmark of No. 2 Syracuse’s historic start.

The back will look to continue its offensive production when the Orange (12-1, 4-1 Atlantic Coast) takes on Louisville (6-5-1, 3-2) on Friday at 7:30 p.m. at Dr. Mark & Cindy Lynn Stadium in Louisville, Kentucky.

“We want to score goals,” Murrell said. “It’s always good to keep clean sheets but we want to contribute on the winning end and we want to score goals.”

Being able to get corner kicks and free kicks is crucial for the defenders being able to score, Murrell said, adding that the back line isn’t able to get forward without them.

Against Wake Forest last Friday, two free kicks were translated into goals — both traveling from Murrell’s left foot to Hilliard’s head and into the net. In SU’s 4-0 win at
