Students mourn Pittsburgh victims

Remembrance Week 2018

SU ranked for 1st time in 17 years

Jewish community leaders on the Syracuse University campus called on students, faculty and staff to “fight darkness with light” at a Sunday evening vigil organized in response to Saturday’s mass shooting at a Pennsylvania synagogue. The shooting at Tree of Life Synagogue in Pittsburgh, which left 11 people dead and several others injured, is being regarded as the most violent anti-Semitic act in United States history. The Chabad House at SU and the Winnick Hillel Center hosted the vigil to unite the local Jewish community and allow everyone to feel this “collective loss” together, said Jessica Lemons, interim Hillel director. “It hits home, and it’s absolutely devastating,” Lemons said in an interview before the vigil, which took place on the steps of Hendricks Chapel at 6 p.m. “It hits home in a lot of different ways, and it just hurts us all as a people.”

The Jewish people have been through so much … we’ve survived it all, and we’re still here. As a united front, the Jewish community will come together. Zalman Ives

About 100 people attended the vigil. Rabbi Yaakov Rapoport of the Chabad House said he was pleased with the turnout. “It’d be nice to see the Quad full, it’d be nice to see the Dome full (of) people for an event like this, but I’m realistic,” he said. Lemons expressed gratitude for the support the Jewish community has received from the greater SU community, and said she has seen fellow student religious organizations expressing support on social media since the shooting. She added that it’s encouraging to see chaplains and other allies taking a stance against anti-Semitism. “It helps to have a community,” she said. “It doesn’t take away the loss, but it helps to have a community on campus and a community that cares so deeply about one another.” see vigil page 4

Far from home Lockerbie Scholars reflect on hometown, traveling to study at SU By Gabe Stern staff writer

W

hen Joseph Holland’s flight from Lockerbie, Scotland, landed in Boston, he was struck by the neon lights illuminating the streets. He was on his way to Syracuse University, but for a moment, he was absorbed by culture shock — the neon lights of Boston were nothing like the hills and fields

that surround the familiar country roads of Holland’s home in Scotland. Holland and his classmate Harriet Graham flew to Syracuse in August as Lockerbie Scholars. Every year, two graduates from Lockerbie Academy, a secondary school, spend a year at SU as Lockerbie Scholars. They represent 11 people who died in the Scottish town when Pan Am Flight 103 was destroyed in a terrorist attack in 1988. Of the 270 people who died in the tragedy, 35 were SU students.

For the first time since 2001, Syracuse football is ranked in the AP Poll. The Orange (6-2, 3-2 Atlantic Coast) came in at No. 22 in Sunday afternoon’s poll. The Orange also appeared in the USA Today Coaches Poll at No. 24. The jump from receiving no votes last week to a ranking this week came less than 24 hours after Syracuse defeated then-No. 22 North Carolina State, up next 51-41, in the CarriSyracuse, er Dome. With the winner of win, the Orange two straight clinched a bowl games, plays berth for the first at Wake time since 2013. Forest on Until Sunday, Saturday Syracuse’s 17-year drought from the AP Top 25 was the second longest among Power Five programs.

Syracuse had received votes in both the AP and Coaches polls earlier this season, but fell off after backto-back losses including a 44-37 defeat at Pittsburgh. Nine teams ranked 15-25 lost on Saturday, leading to a major shift in the back half of the polls. The last time SU was ranked in the AP poll was the postseason vote in 2001, when the Orange checked in at No. 14 after beating Kansas State in the Insight.com Bowl. At that time, Paul Pasqualoni was still head coach of Syracuse. That season included an upset of No. 5 Virginia Tech in Blacksburg. All three of Syracuse’s losses that season came to top-10 opponents. SU plays at Wake Forest on Saturday at noon at BB&T Field. The Demon Deacons most recently defeated Louisville, 56-35, on the road. @Schafer_44 jlschafe@syr.edu
