SU lobbies for drone research 3rd quarter filing report shows $70,000 in lobbying activity

By Justin Mattingly asst. news editor

Syracuse University briefed government officials on its research efforts on drones as part of its most recent lobbying efforts, according to a lobbying report filed on Monday.

The university reported $70,000 in total lobbying activity for the third quarter of 2014, up from $60,000 in the second quarter. The third quarter report covered July 1 through Sept. 30.

The lobbying activity listed in the university’s report was briefing the offices of New York Senators Charles Schumer (D-New York) and Kirsten Gillibrand (D-New York) and U.S. Rep. Dan Maffei (D-New York) on the university’s research efforts in unmanned aircraft systems, more commonly known as drones.

SU, along with the Center for Advanced Systems and Engineering at SU, has been actively involved in funding and researching the development of unmanned aircraft systems and unmanned aerial vehicles, specifically in the L.C.

hen she arrived at the Rose Laying Ceremony during Remembrance Week last year, Carol King-Eckersley wasn’t sure where to sit.

At the front of the crowd were the family members of the victims.

Toward the back were Syracuse University students and other community members. King-Eckersley didn’t know where she belonged.

It was just six months after she learned that the son she gave up for adoption 46 years ago had died in the bombing of Pan Am Flight 103.

“I said ‘No I don’t belong up there,’” she told her sister, Sandra King, who had come to the ceremony with her.

But when King-Eckersley finally approached two familiar faces in the family section, one woman gave up her seat to King-Eckersley.

After she sat down with the other family members, something clicked.

“I sat and I suddenly realized that for 46 years I had carried the stigma of being an unmarried mother,” she said. “And that it had affected so many decisions I had made, and I suddenly understood why I had made some not very good decisions.”

“I finally realized that had been carried in my heart all those years,” she said. “And I was finally able to let it go.”

TATTOO tuesday | felicia neuhof

Celtic knot symbolizes father-daughter bond

By Gigi Antonelle staff writer

Felicia Neuhof’s father used to call her “Sunshine.”

Her wrist tattoo, which includes a sun pattern drawn around a Celtic knot, represents an eternal bond between father and daughter — a bond that remains strong despite losing him to a two-year battle with lung cancer.

Neuhof, a senior communications design major, described her dad as incredibly dedicated. They did everything together — ride horses, go on bike rides, cook and watch football every Sunday. These are the memories that Neuhof holds close to her heart.

“I was the tomboy, like the son he never had,” Neuhof said.

Neuhof’s father was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer just before she entered high school.

Her father was riding a bike one week, and the next he could barely walk, Neuhof said. Doctors put rods in his leg and hip, and he never walked the same again.

“It all of the sudden feels like you’re

living in a horrible dream,” Neuhof said.

Neuhof credits her father’s spirit for many of the decisions she’s made, including her decision to attend Syracuse University. After considering southern schools such as Tulane University, George Mason University and University of Richmond, Neuhof said she picked Syracuse on a whim.

“He always told me to go after whatever I wanted to do” Neuhof said. “He guided me here for a reason.

Everything worked out perfectly. I love what I’m doing. It’s so much hard work, and it’s very rewarding. I feel like I’m on a good track.”

She got her tattoo on her father’s 51st birthday, the first after he passed away. After almost losing a necklace that he gave to her before he died, she was prompted to get the tattoo — something that she would never lose.

“My tattoo reminds me to be happy and to appreciate and be so thankful for what he did for my life and for my future,” Neuhof said. “It reminds me of the person that he set me up to be and that he’s always with me.” gantonel@syr.edu

Assembly increases tier funding

The Student Association assembly announced plans to install heat lamps at bus stops and increased the amount of funding available to student organizations during its weekly meeting on Monday.

At the meeting Monday evening in Maxwell Auditorium, an Information Technology and Services representative described the NetID password change, which will begin in November.

ice President Joe Biden said he’ll always remember being a senior in high school watching his father pace back and forth in the parking lot.

“I’ll never forget. He looked up at me and said, ‘Joey, I’m so sorry. I’m so sorry. I’m so ashamed.’”

Biden’s father had come back from the bank and couldn’t get the money to personally send his son to college.

The vice president spoke to a crowd of hundreds of people at a hangar near Syracuse Hancock International Airport to rally support for U.S. Rep. Dan Maffei (D-Syracuse). Maffei locked in a tight race with Republican challenger John Katko for the upcoming

election on Nov. 4.

With the rally’s theme of strengthening the middle class, Biden said it’s essential that middle class Americans can afford to send this generation of students to college.

He opened his speech by reminiscing about his “almost home” of Syracuse. Biden graduated from the College of Law in 1968 and met his first wife at SU. The vice president added that he has some fond memories at Hancock Airport.

His speech also touched upon the importance of building up the middle class and making sure all Americans have access to good jobs, have Medicaid and have a high minimum wage.

“The middle class has been the social fabric that’s held this country together,” Biden said.

Sending a child to college isn’t just

Speaking up In addition to Vice President Joe Biden, several other people spoke at the rally in support of Dan Maffei’s campaign for Congress. These politicians included: Syracuse Mayor Stephanie Miner Syracuse Councilwoman Helen Hudson New York Assemblyman Al Stirpe

about the student, Biden said, but it’s also about the parent.

“How many people in this room are parents,” Biden asked the crowd and a vast majority of the hands shot up. “The hardest thing as a parent, that students will learn, is looking them in the eyes and telling your son or daughter that they have an opportunity and there’s nothing you

can do to help them. It’s the most helpless feeling for a mom or dad.”

And as of now, millions of mothers and fathers who have “dignity and pride” aren’t able to send their children to college, because they simply can’t afford it, Biden said.

Four million more kids are in college today because of Pell Grants, Biden said. And it’s now more important than ever to invest in early childhood education, as studies show that early education will enable students to become more successful in life.

Biden criticized the Republican Party for claiming the country can’t afford it. But yet Republicans continue to make sure $1.7 trillion goes to taxpayers who are already making millions of dollars. see biden page 8

letter to the editor

Editorial Board’s lack of unanimous decision reflects poorly on DO The fact that The Daily Orange Editorial Board couldn’t come to a unanimous consensus on whether or not the Newhouse School should’ve disinvited Michel du Cille from participating in the 2014 Fall Workshop reinforces the extremely difficult situation Dean Lorraine Branham and Syracuse University were put in.

As Branham has said in numerous interviews, the decision — whichever way the school decided — was going to upset people. The dean and the university should be commended for decidedly picking a side in the case — something the Editorial Board did not do.

The focus of Monday’s editorial should’ve been on the imminent adversity the school was

going to face no matter what they decided, not “Decision to disinvite photographer was fueled

by Ebola hysteria.” If The Daily Orange is going to run such a headline for its editorial, then all eight members of the board should stand by it.

That was not the case.

The Daily Orange Editorial Board, which has nothing at stake with running its editorial, couldn’t come to a unanimous decision after a weekend in which the event received national coverage. Branham, who had much more at stake, made the controversial decision on a stricter deadline, which solidifies her position as the dean of a premiere journalism school, and doesn’t, as the board suggest, “reflect poorly on Newhouse.”

Branham insists it was not a journalism decision, but rather a student decision. The Editorial Board and many of Branham’s other critics don’t understand what it’s like to make a “student decision.” Branham does, and the Editorial Board ignored this.

The Editorial Board writes that the decision didn’t stem from “factual evidence,” but it’s the Editorial Board who downplayed the facts that went into the decision. The board writes, “du Cille had passed the 21-day incubation period.”

This implies that the incubation period passed at least, say, a week before. The Washington Post, du Cille’s employer, reports “it had been exactly 21 days since du Cille returned from

Letter to the Editor policy

letter to the editor

Bolton will offer interesting view on global events The American public’s attention is, rather unusually, currently captured by events outside the United States. Whether it be the spread of Ebola in western Africa or the spread of the even more deadly disease that manifests itself as ISIS, Americans are concerned about what is happening around the world. The discussion on how to handle these issues among others is center stage in the media as people look for more information on the assorted crises facing the world.

In this state of affairs, John Bolton is a great speaker to host on campus. His wealth of foreign policy experience, from being the

Liberia.” That’s a big factor in the school’s decision, and the Editorial Board misreported it.

The administrators’ ability to make a tough decision in the face of adversity justifies the status of the prestigious journalism school — emphasis on “school.” The failure to recognize this paired with misreporting the 21-day incubation period reflects poorly on The Daily Orange Editorial Board.

Under Secretary of State for Arms Control and International Security to being the U.S. Permanent Representative to the United Nations for a time, makes him a valuable source of analysis to have right now. His insights will help students and faculty to see opinions they might not on a regular basis, giving them another source to take into account as they develop their own opinions on the matter.

This is why the College Republicans have decided to host Mr. Bolton, because he will offer those here at Syracuse University an interesting perspective on today’s events. We

hope that those who attend come away with a better sense of the issues facing the world today and how some of those in the foreign policy arena wish to deal with those issues.

editorial board

DPS body cameras should always be on If the Department of Public Safety wants its introduction of body cameras to be effective, its policy must be that the cameras remain on for officers’ entire shifts.

DPS will spend the next several months choosing which body cameras to use and running trials on those cameras. If those tests are successful, it hopes to equip its officers with cameras starting next semester. DPS was motivated by the shooting of unarmed teenager Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, and hopes body cameras will provide evidence for situations on campus when officer conduct is questionable.

As DPS conducts physical tests of the cameras, it must solidify the policy and circumstances in which the cameras will be used.

According to DPS, officers will turn off their cameras during “sensitive situations.”

Although there are a few months until DPS plans on actively using the cameras on campus, it should change its policy early on to mandate that cameras will remain on for the entirety of an officer’s shift.

Turning a camera off for any part of an officer’s shift could raise questions about what occurred while the camera was off. Defining a “sensitive situation” is subjective. It should not fall to DPS — or anyone — to define when it’s appropriate to film, especially because “sensitive situations” could be the most important incidents for officers to record.

If DPS officers are required to wear cameras, they will announce they are recording before interact-

scribble

ing with students. But this will also decrease the effectiveness of the cameras. If DPS officers are required to wear the cameras, there should be no reason they should ever be off during their shift, and students should already be aware that their cameras are on at all times.

If DPS decides to implement body cameras, it should send a general announcement to students that every DPS officer is now equipped with a camera that will remain on during their shifts. Students should have that expectation following the announcement.

To hold its officers truly accountable for any questionable actions and to protect them from any false claims, the DPS body cameras should stay on from the beginning to the end of officers’ shifts.

Companies should offer family benefits beyond egg freezing

F

acebook and Apple are now offering female employees egg freezing benefits to entice talented workers to work longer. This is a sticky situation for women. It is cause for celebration, but also a cause for concern.

Facebook and Apple are two of the first companies in America to offer this benefit. Because of this, it is important to weigh the benefits with the shortcomings, as other companies may follow suit. After all, egg freezing does not always result in a successful pregnancy and it only delays a woman’s decision to have children. It’s good that companies are offering women the opportunity to freeze their eggs, but to truly benefit all women in the workplace, they need to ensure that family planning benefits continue beyond conception.

stimulate the ovaries and eggs followed by a 15–20 minute operation. An embryologist can collect around 12 eggs in one session with a needle and then freeze the collected eggs in liquid nitrogen for up to 10 years according to a Daily Mail research article.

Most successful pregnancies from egg freezing occur between the ages of 20–30 — women younger than 38 years old that choose to freeze their eggs only have a 2–12 percent chance that one frozen egg will yield a baby in the future, and as they get older, the egg quality decreases along with the pregnancy rate, according to Reproductive Facts.org. These statistics are much more daunting than

what tech companies want women to know. Egg freezing might appeal to younger women, but it seems to have an expiration date for older women who want to start a family.

Though it has benefits, egg freezing is also only encouraging the delay of parenthood, and could put pressure on women to wait to have kids to avoid missing out on career advancement.

Companies hope to harness employees’ prime childbearing time for work and profit, which is understandable from a business standpoint. But corporations should consider that there are alternatives that would make it easier for women to have children any time in their career without it causing a loss in productivity.

Offering on-site childcare, flextime and telecommuting are much more approachable than an egg retrieval with multiple injections.

On-site childcare would allow parents to put all of their efforts into their work, instead of worrying about their child’s safety and learning.

Flextime allows parents to make their own schedule while still putting in the same amount of time as other employees. Telecommuting has been harder for companies to grasp onto, but gives parents the freedom to work from home and give children the attention they need.

There are feasible options that don’t involve freezing eggs and paying for storage on an annual fee on top of consultations and procedures. Companies considering adopting egg-freezing benefits or that have done so already should make sure they offer child care benefits that go further than delaying conception.

Even with planning, there is no perfect time for a child to enter

the world. Holding off on having a child will still create hurdles in the workplace, even with maternal and paternal leave. Because the work culture expects constant overtime from its employees throughout their careers, the same problems will arise from women who have children at an older age.

There must be conceivable alternatives to allow parenthood and a career path to work symbiotically. Freezing eggs only delays work productivity issues. Corporations are making it easier for women to have a family later — they should make it easier for women to have a family now.

Syracuse University ITS sent Cindy Hoalcraft to the meeting to give a presentation about MySlice’s new NetID password policy.

The policy states that every student must change their password on an annual basis for security purposes. Hoalcraft said this policy “limits exposure” of MySlice accounts and their “potential for misuse.” Inactive accounts will also be eliminated so they will not be hacked.

The process will officially begin in November, but students are able to change their passwords before then if they choose, she said. The link to change passwords is below the login box from page 1

lobbying that a regional partnership in New York and Massachusetts will operate one of six test sites for unmanned aircraft systems. Griffiss International Airport, which is operated by Oneida County, will direct unmanned aircraft systems operations in partnership with SU and others.

In a separate report, Daniel J. French & Associates, a firm hired by SU to lobby, reported $50,000 in lobbying for the university. The reported lobbying activity focused on science, homeland security and veterans.

In science and technology, SU lobbied for funding opportunities for research on energy efficiency, according to the firm’s report. In regards to homeland security, SU lobbied for “contact with regard to grant or other funding

on MySlice’s home page and is also accessible once the student is logged in.

Students are required to update their password one year from the day they change it this semester. Administrators will send email notifications to students routinely beginning a month before the password’s expiration date.

Assembly members also passed a bill that increases the amount of money student organizations on different tiers can receive from SA. The tier system divides organizations into four tiers depending on how much funding they typically require.

“By bumping up the amount each tier can get, it also helps organizations who want to move up a tier but aren’t ready yet,” said Comptroller Patrick Douglas.

In other business, the Student Life Commit-

tee was recently able to convince administrators to install heat lamps in sheltered bus stops on South Campus and at College Place. The committee told administrators that blood vessels close to the skin begin to constrict at and below freezing temperatures, and individuals are more susceptible to frostbite. The presentation included testimonies from students who live on South Campus and take buses to and from main campus several times a day.

Administrators accepted the committee’s proposal and will run a pilot program with the heat lamps installed next semester. The next step for the committee is to meet with Risk Management and the Department of Public Safety to ensure that DPS officers will include these bus stops in their regular campus route.

opportunities for research and training in the areas of forensic science as it relates to national security,” according to the report. SU lobbied for continued support for the Institute for Veterans and Military Families, according to the report.

Eric Persons, associate vice president of government and community relations, said in an email that in addition to SU’s normal government relations operation, the university reported a portion of salaries and expenses of faculty and staff who communicated with public officials in advocating for research and education matters.

Persons said that SU must report a portion of its membership dues if it belongs to any higher education association that lobbies.

“In this case, we reported the School of Education’s membership in a coalition composed of other colleges of education that works on issues such as teacher training and certifica-

tion, childhood learning and development and pedagogical research,” he said.

Persons said SU is prepared to respond to any proposed changes in government regulations that affect higher education. Persons cited the federal government’s Higher Education Act, which expires in 2015, as a piece of legislation that affects SU. “This is an important piece of legislation that touches on several areas in higher education, including financial aid,” he said. “We expect Congress to consider its reauthorization after the election in November.”

The $190,000 reported in lobbying so far this year is the smallest amount through three quarters since 2011, when SU reported $150,000 in lobbying through three quarters. Through three quarters in 2012 and 2013, SU reported lobbying $210,000 and $230,000, respectively.

eat fresh

By Anjali Alwis staff writer

S

tudents dining recently at the Trailhead Café on the SUNY-ESF campus were able to get a taste of food grown by fellow students.

Earlier this month food grown at a garden on Lafayette Street was served each day at the Trailhead Café for the “Honorable Harvest” themed week. Students at the college who are members of the Green Campus Initiative, a student organization that focuses mainly on food conservation and sustainability, grew the food. With enough interest in upcoming semesters, GCI hopes to expand the reach and success of its gardens and serve locally grown food to their peers in the cafe, said Ross Mazur, the president of the GCI and a senior environmental resource engineering major.

There’s a lot of practicality that goes into understanding what is required to produce the food that you eat.

Ross Mazur president of the gci and senior environmental resource engineering major

The club was started through the student sustainability fund at the State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry. The fund gives money to SUNYESF undergraduate or graduate students who come up with project ideas that focus on mitigating negative environmental effects at the local level, specifically those that promote conservation, waste reduction and environmental education.

These types of clubs are valuable because it is important to have an idea of what is required to obtain the food and discover more about how intensive of an agricultural process is

required to get it on your plate, Mazur said.

“There’s a lot of practicality that goes into understanding what is required to produce the food that you eat,” he said. “The general public might not know the vast majority of the trees that their fruit and nut crop grow up, they might not be familiar with the types of vegetables that they commonly consume.”

Olivia Donachie, a junior natural resources management major and the garden chair of the GCI, leads groups of club members and volunteers to maintain the off-campus gardens.

Donachie said the goal of the club is to make SUNY-ESF more sustainable and that the club is rapidly growing.

“It’s becoming slowly more and more a topic that people are concerned about and wanting to seek changes in,” she said. “It’s grown since I’ve been here. I can tell that things are picking up.”

A few members of GCI will soon be going into dining halls at Syracuse University and at the Trailhead Café to collect food that is being thrown away and bring it to food banks, Donachie said.

“We see something that we don’t like and we talk to the faculty and teachers and try to make changes,” Donachie said.

Diana Johnson, director of dining services, said she has been purchasing food for the Trailhead Café and the dining halls from vendors and farms in the area such as Alambria Springs Farm, Windy Acres Farm and Beak & Skiff Apple Orchards. She said she previously bought the food for students at the State University of New York at Morrisville and said she was very excited to expand the program to SUNY-ESF. Johnson said she believes that the dining facilities she manages have doubled, possibly tripled, the amount of locally grown food that they purchased from this year to last.

“It’s important to the local community to provide support for our local farmers,” she said. ”I also believe that food is better coming from within the state than being trucked from California; the nutrients hold up better. It’s a healthier

remembrance 103 exploded over Lockerbie, Scotland on Dec. 21, 1988. The bombing killed all 259 people on the flight. Since then, SU has honored the lives lost on Pan Am Flight 103 every year through Remembrance Week, which started Monday.

King-Eckersley’s journey to letting go of the pain of giving away her only child for adoption when she was 19 years old was not a simple or short one. It began in 1967 when King-Eckersley went on a blind date and drank for the first time. A little while later, she said she realized she might have been pregnant after the date.

“And we’re talking 1967, where girls didn’t get pregnant outside of marriage,” King-Eckersley said.

Her father was also the principal of her high school in California, and King-Eckersley said she didn’t want to put him in any bad position. Her mother’s family in Oregon also said they wanted nothing to do with the situation, she added.

But Sandra King, her sister who was 25 years old at the time, invited King-Eckersley to live with her in New York City during the pregnancy. The two were friends, King said, but they were not close because of their five-year age difference. However, after King-Eckersley moved in, the two became much closer.

“In a sense, Kenneth gave us each other,” King said. “Even though it was a very difficult

thing for her.”

King said it was easy for her to acknowledge her sister’s pain to give up Bissett for adoption and then to try and forget about it. However, she said she knows that pain never leaves King-Eckersley’s mind.

That umbilical cord never really does break.

“That umbilical cord never really does break,” King-Eckersley added.

‘He looked like me’ King-Eckersley never saw Bissett’s face when he was born on Dec. 19, 1967. She only saw a tightly wrapped yellow bundle. Giving away Bissett was the hardest thing King-Eckersley had ever done, she said.

When she and her sister left the hospital, they rode in the same car as Bissett and the adoption agency. King-Eckersley sat in the middle of the backseat hoping Bissett would not cry. If he had cried, King-Eckersley knew she wouldn’t have been able to let him go. He didn’t cry.

King-Eckersley got out of the car in front of her sister’s studio and stood outside in the

But before Biden ended his 30-minute speech,

cold, watching the car drive down the road until it was out of sight.

Forty-five years and one marriage later, King-Eckersley decided it was time to reach out to the son she gave away. Her husband had died on Oct. 1, 2012, and King-Eckersley went to grief counseling to help her cope. Her counselor told her that one way to help grieve is by finishing things in her past that she left incomplete, King-Eckersley said. She said she was waiting for Bissett to reach out to her first, but she wanted to meet her son, which was a major unfinished part of her life.

So on April 8, 2013, King-Eckersley signed into Facebook and searched the name the adoption agency gave her that she had held onto for a long time. She then found a website with his name and picture.

“He looked like my dad and he looked like me,” she said. The birth date was also same, and King-Eckersley said she knew then that this had to be her son. But then she said she noticed there was a second date next to his birth date.

“I was thinking, why are they only showing part of his life?” she said. King-Eckersley called her sister into the room to look at the website. It took a couple of minutes until King-Eckersley understood what the second date meant.

“I realized that my baby was dead,” she said.

‘More and more real’ After King-Eckersley realized Bissett had died in the bombing, all King could think about was how painful it was to watch her

sister cry and handle the pain.

King added that she had forgotten about Bissett and had focused on taking care of her sister.

But the two had an opportunity to learn who Bissett was as a person when they connected with those who knew him and saw more pictures.

“He became more and more real, but odd enough not as much as a nephew, but as a person I would have loved to have known,” King said.

Every year, 35 seniors at SU are named Remembrance Scholars to represent the students who died on Pan Am Flight 103. The senior representing Kenneth Bissett this year is Sam Rodgers, the starting senior long-snapper on SU’s football team.

Rodgers said he wanted to represent Bissett because the story about King-Eckersley’s discovery stuck out to him. From what Rodgers read, he said he thought Kenneth was a fun-loving guy that he would have wanted to hang out with. Rodgers also said he is looking forward to meeting with King-Eckersley during the week.

“That’s part of what’s pretty cool about Remembrance Week — the families that decide to come back and just the relationships you can build,” he said.

Thanks to the connections she’s made through Remembrance Week, King-Eckersley said she can clearly imagine the wonderful life Bissett lived for 21 years.

“I can’t hug him, but I can hug him in my mind,” she said. almerod@syr.edu

Alumni to show work at gallery 914Works to exhibit 21 paintings in “Painting Alumni Retrospective”

By Brendan Krisel asst. feature editor

Homecoming ended more than a week ago, but now 50 years of Syracuse University’s art history is coming back to campus.

Starting Tuesday, the work of 21 alumni from the College of Visual and Performing Arts will be exhibited at the 914Works gallery on East Genesee Street as part of the “Painting Alumni Retrospective.”

Paul Weiner, a senior painting major, decided he wanted to organize an art show last May when seniors in VPA were putting on shows before they graduated.

He decided to feature work from alumni because he thought it would be nice to have people to come back to campus and be able to trace paintings from different generations of SU alumni.

‘The Wizard of Oz’ celebrates 75th anniversary

By Jackie Frere feature editor

T

wenty minutes east of Syracuse, a yellow brick road runs down the middle of a small village and a large Tin Man greets its visitors with a sign. In the middle of the village is a museum dedicated to, and named, All Things Oz. Guests aren’t in Kansas, but in Chittenango, New York — the birthplace of Oz. L. Frank Baum, the author of “The Wonderful Wizard of Oz,” was born in Chittenango and raised in Syracuse. The movie, which was adapted from the book in 1939 and is considered one of America’s classics, is celebrating its 75th anniversary this year.

“People of the world recognize us as the birthplace of Oz — the place where it all started,” said Barbara Evans, the president of All Things Oz museum. “We have a wonderful reputation, and the recognition is wonderful.”

Evans said that the people of Chittenango are the caretakers of Oz. They are given the opportunity and responsibility to keep the tradition alive. One way they incorporate Oz into their lives is during an annual parade called Oz-Stravaganza, which celebrates the history of Baum and “The Wizard of Oz.” Oz-Stravangaza started as a small birthday celebration for Baum within the village, made up of about 1,000 people. In 1987 Meinhardt Rabbe, who played the munchkin that confirmed the death of the Wicked Witch of the East in the movie, offered to come to the parade. Then, he brought other actors from the movie and the population of the parade skyrocketed by thousands of people — now up to 20,000 attend per year.

“Everyone wanted to see the munchkins. People just traveled from all over the world. It got really big really fast,” Evans said. “We’re the only place in the country that runs a festival that actually has Oz-y programing. We’re the only festival that lays claim to fame that L. Frank Baum was born here.”

Colleen Zimmer, a trustee of the museum, said the munchkins were always a huge hit in the parade, and one of her favorite items in the museum is a pair of costumes worn by two munchkins in the film.

“The Wizard of Oz” is more than just a movie with great music and pictures — it teaches viewers important lessons. Zimmer said that with themes illustration by tony chao art director

Paul Weiner senior painting major

“I think it is an exhibition that has the potential for people to come and understand the historical roots of painting today, and that’s the goal,” Weiner said.

Once he had his idea, Weiner took the next steps toward planning the exhibit. He brought his idea to Kevin Larmon, the painting coordinator at VPA, and Scott Rose, the director of 914Works.

Both Rose and Larmon were impressed and let Weiner run with his idea to make the show his.

“Paul Weiner, this is his show, I want to give him complete credit,” Rose said. “He came to us, he see painting page 10

“It’s something that five generations could sit down and watch,” Zimmer said. “There are so few things that you can take with every generation and they each enjoy it and all get something very rewarding out of it.”

Robert Thompson, the director of the Bleier Center for Television & Popular Culture and a

Larmon said that it’s unusual for an undergraduate student to display as much immersion in the world of art as Weiner has. He told Weiner that he would help every step of the way, but that the exhibit would be “Weiner’s baby.”

The exhibit will be able to connect SU students with professionals in the art community by bringing alumni back to campus. As an assistant professor and program coordinator in the painting department, Larmon said he tries to teach his students the importance of building a community of artists.

Larmon added he is excited to “co-fertilize” generations of SU artists as alumni come back to campus for the exhibit.

“It’s exciting because it’s another way of developing the community to kind of get students that I’ve had great relationships with to connect with other students,” Larmon said.

The exhibit features one small work from each

Syracuse University television, radio and film professor, said that the emergence of television is the reason the film was passed down through generations. Because “The Wizard of Oz” was played each year on television, watching it became an annual event in the homes of millions of Americans.

One thing that stood out to Thompson in the movie was the land of Oz. He said that for the limitations of creating a movie in the ‘30s, this fantasyland was impressive considering the budget the directors had. It was the imaginative cinematography paired with the innocent storyline that

pulled in views, and still pull in viewers today.

“The same kids no matter what gender you are or what your upbringing was — every kid at some time felt that they were living under the stairway, like Harry Potter, or living out in the middle of nowhere where life is boring, like Dorothy,” Thompson said. “They related to the movie.”

Thompson said when he watches the movie now, he sees the cracks in the narrative, but as a kid, he could relate to returning home after a big adventure. He remembered watching the

movie with his family, and said that since “The Wizard of Oz” has made it past the first 75 years and is still popular, it’s here to stay.

And with the town of Chittenango keeping the spirit of Oz alive, Baum’s story will carry on, as his own family line is creating its own Oz stories, Evans said.

Said Evans: “We’re labeled caretakers of the Oz realm and we take that job very seriously.

But we never lose sight that the man who created Oz was born here right in Chittenango.”

alumnus, whose graduation years span from 1959 to 2014. Larmon and Weiner originally had 40 artists in mind with three pieces from each artist. As they planned the exhibit, they realized they needed to cut the number of artists down and select only one small piece from each artist, Weiner said.

Because the show is mainly comprised of small artworks, Larmon said that it will serve as a “sampler” of the works of a strong community of artists coming from SU. But 21 artists still provide for a diverse showing of different styles and periods of art, Rose said. He added that because there are so many artists who each have their own styles of painting, people who visit the exhibit will get a little bit of everything.

“It’s very different because there are different artists, and the show spans I think 55 years,” Rose said. “So every artist has a different aesthetic. We have works that are spot on realism, we have pastels, we have oil paintings, we have abstract.”

For Weiner, the aesthetic appeal of each piece was important, but he said the common connection of each artist to Syracuse would allow viewers to understand the history of art at SU and how art

has evolved.

“I hope people come to the show, and first off, they’ll enjoy the artworks just from an aesthetic point of view,” Weiner said. “Then hopefully they will sort of build connection of how art

has evolved in the past 50 years and how it’s changed in this specific location, and get an idea for how people who have gone here have had success outside of Syracuse.”

Wolfe Soloist writes music to give back to community, works on releasing first EP

By Isha Damle staff writer

A

s a songwriter, Julia Wolfe aims to help the community.

“The reason that I even write music and the reason why I appreciate music so much is because I feel like it’s my way of giving back,” said Wolfe, whose favorite aspect of being a musician is the writing that comes with it. “Because whether or not I’m performing for a random show or a benefit concert, I really like to be involved in causes.”

The senior music industry major previously worked as the entertainment chair for Relay for Life at SU and is now working to release her first EP by the end of the semester with Syracuse University Recordings, a student-run record label on campus. Wolfe is also scheduled to perform at the SUR fall showcase Nov. 13 at the Schine Student Center.

Wolfe, who plays piano and guitar, identifies as a singer-songwriter. She hopes to work on creating a “giant compilation” of her original songs and wants to release it as an album by the end of the school year.

“I really appreciate the basicness of songwriting and singer-songwriters because it’s very from the heart, with very meaningful lyrics,” Wolfe said. “I like to keep it very simple.”

Jon Kane, a senior music industry major and general manager of SUR, has been involved in producing Wolfe’s music. He said that part of Wolfe’s appeal is how well she performs.

JULIA WOLFE, a self-described singer-songwriter, said her music is piano-oriented and her lyrics are sassy. Wolfe, who plays guitar and piano, is working on a compilation of original material to release as an EP.

“She has a ton of control over her voice, but at the same time she’s not afraid to belt out and really go for it and take risks musically,”

What I think I really like about performing, especially my own music, is that there’s a kind of vulnerability to it. You’re basically taking something that you feel and that you put your heart and soul into, and you’re throwing it out for others to hear.

Julia Wolfe senior music industry major

Kane said. “Her range is incredible, her general tonality is really awesome, I think, she has a really cool rasp. If you’ve ever seen her perform, she’s very powerful and has a way of

bringing her audience in.”

Wolfe described her music as piano-oriented and her lyrics as sassy. She said people have compared her music to that of Sara Bareilles.

She cites musicians such as Lily Allen, Sting, Paul Simon and Dave Matthews as influences on her song and lyric writing.

Wolfe said that her songs usually come together when she combines a “collection of short little ideas.” She gets feedback on her work from the audience when she performs, and though she finds it terrifying, she said it’s the best part of performing.

“What I think I really like about performing, especially my own music, is that there’s a kind of vulnerability to it,” Wolfe said.

“You’re basically taking something that you feel and that you put your heart and soul into, and you’re throwing it out for others to hear.”

Wolfe recently collaborated with junior music industry major Will Rosati on a single titled “If I Could.” She wrote the song and its lyrics and provided vocals for the track, while Rosati acted as producer and provided synths and percussion on the song. The two plan on

working together again.

As a producer, Rosati said that Wolfe’s ability to write diverse songs has proved to be a positive challenge for him because he has a greater variety of material to work with.

“I think that the two of us working together is a really cool dynamic, and I’m excited for people to hear it,” Rosati said. “It’s basically two different compositional minds coming together. When we combine them together, it turns out to be this really unique electronic vocal mix.”

As someone who has known the singer throughout her time at SU, Kane said Wolfe’s collaboration with Rosati proved to be a change from her previous recordings, which mostly featured her vocals accompanied by her piano playing.

“She’s always trying to challenge herself and push her music to new boundaries, and I think this is a really great example of that,” Kane said. “I think this showcases her variety of talent and the way she can fit into any musical situation.” idamle@syr.edu

flanagan Lawrence Saints hockey was like the town’s professional team, he said.

A young Flanagan could often be found at a rink, either watching the Saints or playing himself. He was around the team at an early age and, knowing players and coaches, the self-proclaimed “rink rat” said it was easy to nurture his passion.

“He was born and raised in Canton and St. Lawrence was all he knew,” said SU assistant coach Alison Domenico, who also played for Flanagan at St. Lawrence. “He’s such a smalltown guy.”

He attended St. Lawrence, where he played for the Saints from 1976–80. In 1982, Flanagan found his first head coaching gig with the Canton High School boys’ team.

After six years as a high school coach and 12 as an assistant with the St. Lawrence men’s team, Flanagan took the head job with the women in 1999 before amassing 230 wins in nine years.

“He built this thing from the ground up,” current St. Lawrence women’s head coach Chris Wells said. “He’s a tireless recruiter and was able to get some great kids in here early on.”

Flanagan plucked prized prospects from key markets in Canada like Quebec and Toronto, Wells said, using St. Lawrence’s proximity to steal top players away from Ivy League schools.

But in 2008, before Domenico’s senior season, Flanagan announced to the team that he’d taken the job at Syracuse, a decision that left Domenico in “pure shock.” But she said that she understood.

“To go from a successful program to just see ‘You’re just on your own two feet here, let’s see what you can do’ — it was very challenging but exciting at the same time,” Flanagan said. “It wasn’t like I felt I had to leave or I wanted to leave, it was just this opportunity presented itself and I was excited about it.”

A year before he was standing in the coaches’ box at the Frozen Four. Now he was standing on gravel trying to get players to come play for him.

He stood in the parking lot behind Tennity Ice Pavilion and pointed at space, showing recruits and parents where a locker room was going to be built.

Recruits knew there would be no immedi-

notebook the hammer on WFU quarterback John Wolford — who didn’t return after the play — and he threw the ball right to Welsh before taking the hit from Davis.

Welsh took off along the left sideline and into the end zone, giving the Orange a 17-7 lead. The senior just missed a pick-six a year ago, getting tackled on an interception return at the 1-yard line in the season opener against Penn State.

The defensive end, as part of SU’s jumbo package on offense, threw a key block on Long’s touchdown and also logged three unassisted tackles, two of which went for losses, to lead all of SU’s defensive linemen.

ate championships. Rather, they wanted to be part of a ground-up movement and play for a coach with established success and a frank attitude about why they should be part of Syracuse’s first recruiting class.

“There was no bullsh*tting with him,” said Taylor Metcalfe, a freshman defender on the first SU team. “Whatever he did or whatever he was planning on doing, even though you weren’t sure what it was yet, it was for the best and it was going to work out from all the experience he had.”

There were no expectations for the program, Metcalfe said. Some players had to cart their equipment back to their dorms because there wasn’t enough storage at Tennity.

Yet for some reason players, even ones like current Swiss National Team member Stefanie Marty, were attracted.

“The ‘starting from the bottom’ is a reason why I went to Syracuse,” Marty said in an email. “It was challenging and interesting to build up a team culture, that goes from building simple team rules to inventing team cheers and other traditions on bus trips, before games, pretty much anything you can imagine from serious to almost absurd.”

Gradually, the program evolved. After a 10-15-3 first season, Flanagan led the Orange to two straight CHA championship game appearances and a combined 32 wins the next two seasons, while winning the 2010 CHA Coach of the Year award.

After only 10 wins in 2011–12, Flanagan guided SU to a program-record 20 victories in 2012–13. Then came another 20 the next year.

What started off as trying to find a place for players to change into and out of their uniforms has become a mission to finish the job of becoming CHA champions.

But Domenico said there’s one question she repeatedly gets asked by recruits and their parents: “What’s Paul like away from the rink?”

“He’s a blue-collar guy who rarely gets outworked in anything that he does, whether it’s painting the house or recruiting players,” Wells said.

And now he wants something to show for the program he built from scratch.

“It’s seven years, we’re not a new program anymore,” Flanagan said. “I won’t be satisfied until I can sit down and say, ‘We’re really good.’ I think we’re close.” mcschnei@syr.edu | @matt_schneidman

SU, N.C. State to kick off at 3 p.m.

Syracuse and North Carolina State (4-4, 0-4) will kick off at 3 p.m. on Nov. 1, the ACC announced Monday morning. The matchup will be broadcast on Regional Sports Network, the league also announced.

SU and the Wolfpack last battled on Oct. 12 of last season in Raleigh, North Carolina, with the Orange winning 24-10.

NCSU, currently trudging through a fourgame losing streak, has this week off before hitting the road to face the Orange the following weekend.

Syracuse, fresh off a 30-7 beating of Wake Forest on Saturday, ventures back down to the Carolinas to take on No. 21 Clemson on Saturday at 7 p.m. The Tigers escaped with a comeback road win Saturday at Boston College, scoring a fourth-quarter touchdown to prevail, 17-13. pmdabbra@syr.edu | @PhilDAbb

Wilson turns past into guidance with Mighty Oaks hoops

By Robert Magobet contributing writer

Standing in a picnic area surrounded by students sitting in chairs or on benches, Seneca Wilson spoke about the importance of advancing to the next level — of school, a career and life in general.

The State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry assistant men’s basketball coach did so for half an hour in front of 40 local inner-city high school students.

It was his first time formally working as a motivational speaker and he did it with conviction.

Wilson grew up in the projects of Pascagoula, Mississippi, sometimes eating syrup, ketchup or mayonnaise sandwiches. His family struggled financially as his single mother, Linda Wilson, worked at Wendy’s to put food on the table for her family.

“And that’s why I am the way that I am,” Wilson said. “I love people. I want to do anything I can to help someone get their life better.”

Shaped by his childhood and the mother whose life philosophies guided him through it, he is constantly motivating — his players on the ESF men’s basketball team and the student workers he

supervises as the assistant director of operations for Syracuse’s Department of Recreation Services.

When he was a child, Wilson’s mother would tell him, “Baby, if you got it, give it. If you don’t, then you can’t do anything.”

At 6:30 a.m. on Oct. 1, ESF held its first official basketball practice of the season. Coaches watched like hawks as the team scrimmaged five-on-five. Small forward Ryan Caldwell missed two three-pointers before Wilson pulled him to the side.

“You’re one of the best shooters on the team,” Wilson said. “But you have to believe that.”

Caldwell returned to the scrimmage and made a pair of 3-pointers.

Wilson works with Mighty Oaks big men on footwork and shooting. But when Wilson approached Mighty Oaks head coach Scott Blair about an expanded role, Blair realized Wilson could provide an element that ESF didn’t already have.

Sage Beemer, a Mighty Oaks power forward, was warming up before an ESF game against Polytechnic Institute of New York University, when Wilson pointed to the banners on the ceiling. The banners happened to have the

Crispi, Sand help each other during tough start to season

By Chris Libonati staff writer

When Dana Crispi and Belle Sand sub in for each other, they high-five, look each other in the eye and say, “We got this, this is me and you.”

The two freshmen defensive specialists have formed a bond and two-thirds of a rotation in the position, completed by senior Melina Violas. Syracuse (8-12, 1-7 Atlantic Coast) has struggled digging the ball all season as the Orange is 153rd in the country in opponent hitting percentage. With Crispi and Sand’s position under fire, having each other has made an otherwise difficult season easier for them.

At times, the two have been sent flying across the back line by opponents’ spikes and they’ve shared the team’s struggles. Together, they’re looking to improve their reading of opponents and in-game adjustments to help SU dig out of an already deep hole.

“We don’t have that type of relationship where we’re always trying to beat each other out,” Crispi said, “it’s more trying to help each other, to lift each other up.”

Against Colgate on Sept. 21, Crispi continually moved up past the 10-foot line, exposing SU defensively and prompting head coach Leonid Yelin to scream that he would take her out if she passed the line again.

With the score at 24-23 in the third set against Pittsburgh on Oct. 12, Sand misplayed a Panther serve to lose the set for SU. All Yelin could do was walk back to SU’s bench and shake his head.

Against Syracuse, Wake Forest built a fivepoint lead by picking on Sand. As the Demon Deacons attacked the back line, Sand could

not get to two balls and two more were hit near her and Violas. WFU aggressively served short and SU’s defensive specialists didn’t adjust.

“With Belle, I’m fine with (her). With Mel(ina) absolutely not … When a freshman like Belle didn’t do it and Mel(ina), that’s two different things,” said Yelin, talking about in-game adjustments.

Both Crispi and Sand are also making the leap from youth and high school volleyball to the college game, which has required them to deal with smarter players.

Crispi said she and Sand have to read opposing hitters better. Reading where a hitter may place the ball is mental rather than physical. Players cannot rely on pure athleticism. They have to rely on their eyes to see the hitter’s arm and read where the hitter will smash the ball.

When one of them has a rough game or practice, they can turn to each other and shake it off.

SU needs Crispi and Sand to make strides too. Sand started at libero against Wake Forest, playing all three sets. Crispi also has been a big part of the rotation, playing in six of the Orange’s eight ACC games.

The two have been thinking past this year, understanding they will carry the defense going forward. But until then, they’ll work together, getting better while leaning on each other’s support.

“There are some practices where it’s hard to get a hold of things and learn things this new way, but we’re always trying to improve,” Crispi said. “We’re always trying to push each other to improve too.” cjlibona@syr.edu

same last name as Beemer on them.

“He knows when we are having a bad day or a really good day,” Beemer said. “If he knows we are having a down day, he will come over and say something to us that will make us get back in a rhythm.”

During holidays growing up, Wilson’s mother gave presents to the children around the neighborhoods that had less than their family. For other kids’ birthday parties, she baked cakes. Wilson calls her a “giver.”

That much was in his blood, but it wasn’t until he went to the Boys & Girls Club on Old Mobile Avenue that he started to become a coach.

Wilson went there as a child and returned as a volunteer, coaching kids that, like him, were exposed to shootings, drug dealings and addicts.

The Boys & Girls Club gave Wilson an opportunity to get out of Pascagoula. Wilson had not traveled much outside of his city or state. The program took the kids on field trips to waterparks and camps outside of his hometown and state.

“It made me see past my city,” Wilson said.

A few years later, he was out of Pascagoula.

Wilson attended the University of Southern Mississippi, where he became the first person

in his family to graduate from college.

When Wilson attended the school, he got a job in campus recreation. There he met and developed a friendship with Chris McGee, the assistant director for facilities During Wilson’s sophomore year in 2002, McGee and Wilson went to the Emerging Recreational Sports Leaders Conference at Clark Atlanta University where Dr. Dennis Kimbro, a professor of business and motivational speaking at the school, spoke.

Wilson recalls Kimbro saying, “You have 18,632 days left on this Earth. What are you going to do with the rest of them?”

The question resonated with Wilson. He realized that he wanted to become a motivational speaker.

He uses those same motivational techniques during skill workouts in practices, before and at halftime of games and in front of those 40 inner-city high school students.

At the park, the kids observed Wilson in silence with a dedicated focus. When the speech ended, some of the kids came up to Wilson and said, “Thanks, that’s exactly what I needed.”

would’ve been its 10th shutout of the season.

Demon Deacon’s forward Hank Gauger fired the ball just under the crossbar and past SU goalkeeper Alex Bono from 8 yards out.

“I was disappointed, especially because I thought there was maybe one or two things that I could have done to prevent the goal,” Hilliard said. “But we look at it, learn from it and prepare for the next game.”

Thomas said the team isn’t concerned with its recent performances and just needs to focus on playing a complete 90 minutes.

Syracuse has also been without left winger Liam Callahan, a reliable defensive presence, since the midway point of the first half against WFU. On Tuesday Syracuse faces what McIntyre called a quality team in Bucknell.

“Sometimes after a loss it’s good to have a game quickly afterwards,” McIntyre said. “We’ll put the ACC away for a few days and what we’ll do is we’ll concentrate on a good Bucknell team that’s had some success in recent years.

“We know we’ve got our hands full.”

defense “Having said that, because we’ve been so dominant, that’s why there’s a question. But it’s no reflection (on us).”

Of the five goals SU has allowed this season, two have been on set pieces — Notre Dame scored on a redirected free kick, and Louisville’s game-winner in overtime came the same way, off a free kick from 35 yards out.

The Cardinals’ first goal came outside the run of play — on a penalty kick goal after Jordan Murrell was called for a handball in the box.

But McIntyre called SU’s last four games — against Albany and at Wake Forest, Connecticut and Louisville — a brutal stretch. “(A loss) was definitely not something the team’s used to,” defender Tyler Hilliard said.

“That whole night, people were kind of down. “ Against WFU on Oct. 10, the Orange allowed a goal with three minutes left to squander what

Brown makes Wilkes offense fast-paced, no-huddle attack

By Paul Schwedelson staff writer

Alcohol and college football are often associated with each other. But for the Wilkes University football team, alcohol is part of a play-calling system.

The Colonels have plays named “beers,” “whiskey” and “vodka.”

“I just don’t believe kids are wired these days the way they used to be wired with needing a bunch of verbiage,” Wilkes head coach Trey Brown said.

Brown, in his first year coaching the Colonels, has implemented a no-huddle offense and a oneword play-calling system. Plays are organized categorically, meaning the alcohol plays are similar, and fruits and animals share a characteristic.

The play-naming system is part of Brown’s effort to have Wilkes (2-4, 2-3 Middle Atlantic Conference) run 80 plays per game, or one every 10 –12 seconds. Through six games, Wilkes — located in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania — has run more than 80 plays twice and averages almost 26 points per game.

On Sept. 20, the Colonels set a Division III record with 113 plays in one game.

“Our guys wouldn’t know how to get in a huddle at all,” Brown said. “The word ‘huddle’ is never even brought up.”

Brown’s experience with the no-huddle began as an assistant at Pennsylvania from 2001–05.

The Quakers had a change-of-pace package called “attack” that featured about 10 plays.

In the past three seasons as an assistant at Muhlenberg, Brown’s offenses were exclusively no-huddle with about 30 one-word plays. Over time, he learned different ways to

accelerate communication and that’s what he brought to Wilkes during the hiring process this past offseason.

Players evaluated the potential coaches and handed in forms to athletic director and board that included their opinions on the strengths and weaknesses of each replacement option.

It was something I always looked forward to and looked up to.

opposing defenses don’t have much time to substitute, Brown uses that to Wilkes’ advantage by running the same personnel package for up to eight consecutive plays.

“They’re always breathing heavy,” sophomore starting quarterback Ryan Dailey said of opposing defenses.

Brown models his offense after those of well-known Division I coaches like Mike Leach when he was at Texas Tech, Chip Kelly when he was at Oregon and Art Briles at Baylor. And it’s very similar to the offense Syracuse planned to run at the beginning of the season.

At the start of this year, Dailey had never started a collegiate game. Wilkes’ tailbacks were inexperienced, Brown said, and the offense went through the growing pains of switching to a completely new style.

Senior tight end Jeremy Hartman said he’s excited for the future once Brown recruits his own players that fit his system best.

“By the time it hits a couple years through the program, this is what we’re doing, Wilkes is going to be really good,” Hartman said. “It’s awesome to be a part of something new.” pmschwed@syr.edu

Jonathan Conklin wilkes wide receiver

Though the players didn’t have the final decision, they knew what they were getting into before Brown was even hired.

“He told the team the first day we met him he’d be implementing the fast-paced offense,” senior wide receiver Jonathan Conklin said.

Since then, simplifying the communication and shortening the time process from one play to the next has been critical to Brown. “Far double-wing right 370 lion” includes the formation, protection and receiver routes. Brown said he could shorten that to “bananas” and the players will know what to run.

Wilkes’ playbook contains a little more than 120 plays, but only about 50 are used each week.

“It was something I always looked forward to and looked up to,” Conklin said.

Brown is enamored with being able to wear opposing teams out, and said that his offense creates incredible chaos for the defense. Since

2 players earn ACC honors

NET GOAL PAUL FLANAGAN was immersed in St. Lawrence hockey from a young age and led the women to five Frozen Fours as a coach there. He became the first head coach in SU women’s hockey history in 2008 and now looks for a CHA title in his seventh season. hannah wagner staff photographer

Flanagan looks to lead Syracuse to 1st CHA title in 7th year with team

W

hen Syracuse named Paul Flanagan the first head coach in SU women’s ice hockey history in 2008, all the program had was him and a rink.

There was no locker room and no skate sharpener. He had no staff members and no players, and he only had three months to find them.

“We didn’t have anything,” he said.

What he did have was five Frozen Four appearances, 230 wins and a .692 winning percentage from nine years

as the head coach of the St. Lawrence women’s hockey team. He already had a reputation as one of college hockey’s best coaches, but couldn’t pass up the challenge to elevate a program that, at the time, didn’t exist.

Syracuse (1-1-4) isn’t at the level that Flanagan would prefer, having not won a College Hockey America conference title despite three championship game appearances. His recruiting expertise and established reputation of success have him gradually approaching that targeted peak though, increasingly validating a move that initially left many in shock.

It wasn’t until his seventh season

step by step After an up-and-down first four seasons as SU head coach, Paul Flanagan has the team progressing toward a CHA title with back-to-back 20-win seasons. Here are SU’s win totals by year since his arrival.

2008-09 – 10 2009-10 – 18 2010-11 – 14 2011-12 – 10 2012-13 – 20 2013-14 – 20

at St. Lawrence that the Saints won their first outright conference title,

and Flanagan will look to do the same in his seventh year at the helm of the Orange.

“For a lot of reasons, not one singular, this has been a great move,” Flanagan said. “I stand here today feeling comfortable that we’re moving in the right direction. I think we should be knocking on the door both with winning the CHA and getting into that Top 10.”

Growing up in Canton, New York, Flanagan was immersed in the culture of a college town focused on one sport. He played baseball, but St. see flanagan page 12

SU defense looks to get on track against Bucknell

By Josh Hyber staff writer

Syracuse defender Skylar Thomas walked slowly toward the corner of Dr. Mark and Cindy Lynn Stadium with his jersey pulled over his head and his hands covering his face.

Louisville defender Jerry Ramirez sprinted by with his arms held wide.

Ramirez’s overtime goal last Fri-

day sealed SU’s first loss in more than a month in the first game the Orange conceded more than one goal this season. up next Though SU’s VS Bucknell 10 shutouts @ SU Soccer and five goals Stadium allowed this Tuesday, 7 p.m. season put it among the country’s defensive elite,

the Orange has steadily slowed its historic pace. Syracuse has relented four goals in its last four games, but the Syracuse defenders see three wins in those four games.

On Tuesday, No. 2 Syracuse (12-2, 4-2 Atlantic Coast) returns to SU Soccer Stadium for a 7 p.m. matchup against Bucknell (6-8, 2-3 Patriot) looking to regain the defensive form that took it from being unranked to among

the country’s best with three weeks to go before the ACC tournament.

“If you would have said at the beginning of the year you’re going to play Albany, UConn, Wake Forest and Louisville and you’re going to win three of those games, I wouldn’t have given a monkey’s,” SU head coach Ian McIntyre said before pausing, “on if we would have conceded goals. see defense page 14
