Boeheim declines to comment Head coach won’t speak to Orange’s NCAA case

By Jess Dougherty sports editor

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Jim Boeheim sauntered into the print media room at Atlantic Coast Conference media day, sat down behind his nameplate and stared at a recorder in front of him.

Throughout ACC basketball media day on Wednesday, Syracuse’s NCAA hearing at the end of the week sat like an elephant in the room. SU players Trevor Cooney and Rakeem Christmas were asked about it and deferred to focusing on the court. ACC commissioner John Swofford was asked too and confirmed that a representative from the conference will attend the hearing.

LGBT campus presence Cox shares hardships grows in last 20 years of being trans* woman

By Brett Samuels asst. news editor

When Jordan Potash attended Syracuse University, there was no LGBT Resource Center, there was no LGBT Studies Program and there was no University Senate Committee on LGBT Concerns.

At that point, in the mid-1990’s, there was also no Coming Out Month on campus, just a Coming Out Week.

But there were blue jeans on statues around campus, especially on the Quad.

“We would do coming out things like wear blue jeans on National Coming Out Day to show support for the LGBT community,” said Potash, who graduated in 1998. “It was a national program designed to make people think about what clothing to put on that day and think about that choice.”

Coming Out Month, held every October, began as a national event 20 years ago. But it wasn’t until 2007 that SU moved from hosting a Coming Out Week to a Coming Out Month. In two decades, the LGBT Resource Center was founded, the

With a rhythmic, poetic cadence, trans* advocate and actress Laverne Cox began her speech to a full auditorium at Syracuse University by singing the phrase, “Ain’t I a woman?”

“I stand here this evening claiming my womanhood in a social context which would often deny it,” Cox said in her speech.

The question was not only the title of Cox’s speech given in Goldstein Auditorium on Wednesday night, but is also a reference to a central theme

in Cox’s life, which encompasses her intersectional identities as a trans* woman of color.

Cox, who stars in Netflix’s original TV series, “Orange is the New Black,” spoke as part of Coming Out Month in an event sponsored by the LGBT Resource Center. Cox focused her speech on her own personal narrative, starting in Mobile, Alabama, where she was born.

Cox began to experience bullying for her gender expression in preschool, where she was called antigay slurs like “sissy,” Cox said. see cox page 4

It’s against the rules to talk about an ongoing investigation. Period.

Then it was Boeheim’s turn and the Orange’s head coach wasn’t willing to offer as many words.

“I’m betting I will be getting up in 15 seconds,” he said.

He didn’t leave the table, but discussed the rules of not commenting instead. Syracuse’s hearing, which also involves the football program, is scheduled for Thursday and Friday and Boeheim wouldn’t comment on whether he will attend after The PostStandard reported that he, Syracuse University Chancellor Kent Syverud and Director of Athletics Daryl Gross, among others, will be there.

Beer pays homage to werewolves

Cornell University has ended its relationship with JanSport after its parent company refused to sign an agreement to improve working conditions at its factories.

N • Cutting ties

By Hannah Redfield staff writer

Thanks to the ‘80s one-hit-wonder Warren Zevon, we all know about the werewolves in London. Newcastle’s Werewolf brew, however, declares on its bottle label that at least one of these storybook beasts has “escaped from Britain” and landed in America. The rye malt ale appears just in time for Halloween, and this sweet, but multifaceted brew will send shivers down your spine.

Newcastle Werewolf, named after the mythical — we hope — wolf-like creature that is said to roam the bleak moorland surrounding Newcastle, England, packs a punch that will liven up any Halloween party. With claw marks slicing through the bottle label, it’s clear from the first glance that this beer is no tricks and all treats.

I was surprised to smell fruity notes in the beer, since I don’t typically associate werewolves with fruity and flowery scents. I proceeded to pour the brew into a glass, and was surprised to find that my nose had not led me astray as the berry scent became more pungent as the liquid flowed into the cup.

The bottle advertises a beer that is naturally “blood red” in color, but

popcorn or chips handy when drinking beer so I can rid my palette of the characteristic bitter aftertaste. In this case, I didn’t have to be prepared to load on the carbs. The beer has an International Bittering Units score of 23.4 due to its absence of bitter hops.

This mellow but complex beer is just as mysterious and electrifying as the legend of the werewolf has been for hundreds of years. Newcastle Werewolf is a beer that won’t disappoint this Halloween season. hwredfie@syr.edu

The low density of bubbles that was apparent after the pour revealed the beer’s moderate to low carbonation.

Although a name like “werewolf” might imply a howling beer that chills you to your bones, Newcastle Werewolf is unexpectedly smooth and light.

The sweet, berry taste that laps at your tongue upon the first sip dissipates as richer, malt-based flavors take over.

The spooky thing about this beer is that it has almost no aftertaste.

Office announces changes to housing lottery

By Jessica Iannetta news editor

Upperclassmen will have fewer oncampus housing options next year after changes were made to the housing lottery to accommodate the large incoming freshman and sophomore classes.

Students who have not already fulfilled their two-year on-campus housing requirement won’t be able to select single rooms during the housing lottery this spring. Options will also be more limited for upperclassmen

that have already fulfilled the requirement, according to an announcement on Wednesday from Eileen Simmons, director of the Office of Housing, Meal Plan and I.D. Card Services.

The announcement, which was emailed to students and posted on the office’s website, listed the following options for students who still need to fulfill their housing requirement: - Two- and four-person accommodations on North Campus (includes open/split doubles, two and four-person suites)

- A designated number of twoand three-bedroom apartments on South Campus - Three-person accommodations on North Campus, with the exception of Washington Arms For students who have already fulfilled the requirement, the following on-campus housing options will be available: - A designated number of single rooms on North or South Campus - A designated number of two- and three-bedroom apartments on South

Campus - Three-person suites in Washington Arms - Four-bedroom apartments at University Village Apartments In making the changes to the lottery, the university received input from a student survey conducted last April as well as from the Parents Office, the Office of Residence Life and the Retention Office, according to the announcement. jliannet@syr.edu | @JessicaIannetta

SU works to develop free bike-sharing program

By Thomas Beckley-Forest staff writer

Starting next semester, Syracuse University students might be able to borrow bikes to get around campus at no extra cost.

SU announced on Oct. 16 that the university is developing a bike-share program for next spring that will

allow students to temporarily take out and use bikes free of charge for 24 hours at a time.

Current plans for the program would require students to sign liability waivers and bike-share agreements to gain first come, first serve access to bikes at Archbold Gymnasium, said Rick Martin, a principal analyst for the project.

Two Syracuse University professors protested a talk on campus Wednesday night given by a professor who lost his job at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign because of his controversial tweets about Israel.

Steven Salaita, who lost his job at Urbana-Champaign in August, said the university’s action violated his freedom of speech as well as his academic freedom. But physics professor Peter Saulson and magazine journalism professor Harriet Brown, who staged a protest outside of Salaita’s talk in Crouse-Hinds Hall auditorium, disagreed.

Brown said the first amendment allows for all speech, but felt Salaita’s tweets were hate speech.

“I believe we need to call people on hate speech,” Brown said.

boeheim writers that write about this stuff all the time,” Boeheim said. “It’s against the rules to talk about an ongoing investigation. Period.

“Whenever these things are written about there’s so much misinformation because nobody can talk, so people take some piece here and it becomes something totally different. To me, it’s just better when it’s done and you look at what happened and you talk.”

When discussing the importance of clarity in discussing these situations, Boeheim was quick to point out that he was speaking about “generalities,” not his team. Syracuse could face sanctions for allegations for extra benefits, academic infractions and more, according to multiple reports.

But instead of discussing details of Syracuse’s case, Boeheim said that Carleton — which the Orange will host for a scrimmage on Sunday — is what he’s most worried about this week.

“From pre-school up until high school, pretty much every single day, I was bullied, I was taunted, I was called names and routinely chased home from school by groups of kids who wanted to beat me up,” Cox added.

Cox used this life experience to talk about the bullying of LGBT youth.

A crucial life moment for Cox occurred in third grade. Cox’s mother received a worried phone call from her teacher saying, “Your son is going to end up in New Orleans wearing a dress if we don’t get him to therapy right away.”

dailyorange.com news@dailyorange.com

Cooney added that nothing has seemed different with Boeheim at practice in the past few weeks.

“We have no idea what’s going to happen,” Cooney said. “We don’t know anything.”

Christmas, who leading up to the season has described himself as a senior leader, had similar sentiments.

“We don’t worry about any of that,” Christmas said. “We just put it behind us.”

Boeheim more fully sidestepped the topic.

When bluntly asked if he was attending the hearing, Boeheim responded by saying, “I’m waiting for a question that I will answer.”

Then he cut off the next question with, “Is this a different way to ask? You can’t get creative, as creative as I’m sure you are.”

And when asked if it had all become frustrating — the reports, questions and everything in between — Boeheim smiled and offered two more words.

“You tried.” jcdoug01@syr.edu | @dougherty_jesse

The incident that led to this call involved a very concerned third-grade teacher witnessing Cox wave a fan like Scarlett O’Hara from “Gone with the Wind.”

“This fan, it had peacocks on it. It was fabulous,” Cox said.

In therapy, after this incident occurred, Cox’s therapist asked her if there was a difference between a boy and girl. Cox, a confident third-grader, replied, “There is no difference.”

The tone of Cox’s speech became somber and serious when she recounted her suicide attempt in sixth grade. At that point in her life, Cox had became more ashamed of her sexuality and gender expression as she went through puberty.

“I went to my medicine cabinet and took out an entire bottle of pills and took them to my room and swallowed the entire bottle and went to sleep, hoping not to wake up,” Cox said.

But while bullying was a problem for Cox in her childhood, violence against her persists as she lives as a trans* woman of color in New York City.

Cox talked about two instances of street harassment where she had been “clocked” or identified as a trans* woman. Both of these cases highlighted the intersectional nature of oppression for Cox. She was called racial, antigay and misogynistic slurs.

“Calling a transgender woman a man is an act of violence,” added Cox. The crowd cheered.

In one of these instances Cox was kicked to the ground. She said she still does not feel safe in public spaces, and even sometimes in her own apartment because of the trauma associated with that incident.

Using these stories, Cox discussed the importance of getting to know people, despite their gender identity.

“I actually met real trans* people, and all of the ideas and misconceptions about trans* folks melt away when I got to know them as people,” Cox said. “And I believe this can be the journey for each and every one of us if we just get to know people who are different from us as people.” rsandler@syr.edu

LGBT studies program was established and a University Senate Committee on LGBT Concerns was created.

The idea for a resource center started in 1997 with Potash—and with his mother.

“At the time, the college my mother worked at outside of Philadelphia had started this LGBT allies program, and Syracuse didn’t really have anything like that,” Potash said.

Potash met with the dean of student affairs at the time who suggested Potash put together a formal proposal to look into the creation of an LGBT resource center. He worked on the proposal throughout his senior year, which was eventually adopted by the University Senate so it could “investigate what it would mean to create a resource center,” he said.

In 2001 the senate approved the committee’s recommendation to create a resource center. In addition, the senate granted the committee on LGBT issues permanent status.

“One of the things I always appreciated about the beginning of the LGBT center is it was pretty much non-controversial,” Potash said. “The center came out of a need for it, not out of a reaction.”

Since then, the resource center has grown into one of the largest in the country with three full-time staff members, a graduate assistant and five student staff members.

Chase Catalano, who took over as director of the LGBT Resource Center in August 2010, said in an email that he thinks the size of the center shows there is institutional support for its work. He added that the center’s cur-

rent staffing reflects the work put in by those involved in its development.

“At the same time, I think it’s also important to note that although higher education has become a more inclusive space for marginalized genders and sexualities, there is still a lack of staffing to support such efforts of inclusion,” he said.

In its early years, the role of the center was generally to support students, but it was also known for its role in influencing policy matters that would often unintentionally

It was always a month of celebration, reflection and education, and that continues to this day.

Amit Taneja former associate director of the lgbt resource center

marginalize students who identified as part of the LGBTQA community.

The resource center has served as a space for campus community members and student organizations to use, such as Pride Union.

Molly Mendenhall, president of Pride Union, is one the student staff members at the resource center and was unable to comment for this article.

The resource center has also provided educational and social programming for students, faculty and staff over the years. In 2012, the resource center rewrote its mission and vision statements, Catalano said.

Abby Fite, the administrative specialist at the LGBT Resource Center, said the location

has both its positives and its drawbacks. The center is currently located at 750 Ostrom Ave., just off main campus.

“Especially when the resource center was founded, folks saw a lot of value in the space being on the periphery of campus,” she said. “It allowed the center to be a safer space for students.”

Despite all the programming and services offered by the resource center, at that time there was still another aspect missing when it came to LGBT issues.

A few years after the creation of the center, an academic component was founded on campus through the LGBT studies minor. Margaret Himley, associate provost for international education and engagement, co-founded the program in 2006. She said creating the minor was prompted by multiple factors, including student demand.

“There was a frustration amongst students that although there was a resource center, there wasn’t an opportunity to have academic work in the field,” Himley said.

Himley and about 20 other faculty members who were interested in studying sexuality and gender began to meet and develop courses.

Since then, student interest has remained steady, and those who enroll in classes associated with the minor include both LGBTQ students, and students who don’t identify as LGBTQ, she said.

The number of students who graduate with a minor in LGBT studies has increased each year, and seven students graduated with the minor last year, said Roger Hallas, director of the LGBT studies program.

Hallas said the program often collaborates with the resource center for campus programming. In addition, having an established aca-

demic program helps encourage dialogue on campus about LGBT issues, he said.

While both the LGBT Resource Center and the LGBT studies program have expanded and evolved since each was founded, so too has the way in which Coming Out Month is observed on campus.

The 2007 expansion from Coming Out Week event to Coming Out Month allowed for more programming, said Amit Taneja, who worked at the LGBT Resource Center at SU from 2005-2011.

“It was always a month of celebration, reflection and education, and that continues to this day,” said Taneja, who is currently the director of diversity and inclusion at Hamilton College.

One of the overlapping purposes of the resource center and of Coming Out Month is to gain increased visibility for marginalized sexualities and genders. Going from a week to a month was a way to increase visibility, said Fite, the administrative specialist at the resource center.

“Because it’s been happening for several years, I think people know about it as well and it’s part of the culture at SU,” she said.

Hallas added that, in a broader sense, Coming Out Month has evolved since its creation 20 years ago.

“There weren’t LGBT studies programs, there weren’t LGBT resource centers, queer students had to organize themselves to generate support,” he said. “Now there’s greater institutional support. Coming Out Month is now more of an opportunity to explore the sort of richness and complexity around gender issues and representation.” blsamuel@syr.edu | @Brett_Samuels27

letter to the editor

Chaplains of Hendricks Chapel respond to Salaita lecture In response to the Steven Salaita Lecture on 10/29/14: The Chaplains of Hendricks Chapel respect and recognize the importance of academic freedom for professors at all institutions of higher education. Educators must be free to present a full spectrum of ideas in educational environments without fear of unfair or threatening retribution and repercussions. Furthermore, we recognize that hiring, firing, disciplinary proceedings and other human resource practices, affect academic freedom and are complicated procedures that need to be conducted with the utmost integrity.

We also believe in creating a safe environment for students, faculty and staff to learn, grow and engage in healthy dialogue. We stand in opposition of the use of hateful or bullying language by any higher education professional. We believe that such behavior creates an unsafe and exclusionary environment on campus. No student, regardless of religious or political identity, deserves to be judged or labeled negatively by a professor in an academic environment.

The Chaplains of Hendricks Chapel stand united against violence and mourn the loss of life on all sides of the Israeli/Palestinian conflict. All human life has value and we are hopeful that the Islamic and Jewish communities will consider moving toward a peaceful coexistence.

In order to contribute positively to the

goal of peaceful coexistence, the chaplains are committed to creating a constructive dialogue in a safe and productive academic environment that encourages involvement from a series of diverse participants. We hope the campus community will consider joining us for our first of a slate of future interfaith dialogue programs: Muslim/Jewish Q&A Dinner: Muslim and Jewish students will discuss pressing political, religious and cultural issues over a shared (Free) halal and kosher meal. The program is designed to assure that all students have the opportunity to listen and learn. Students of all faiths (or that do not identify with a faith) are welcome.

Bike-share program will benefit campus The bike-share program Syracuse University is planning to implement in spring 2015 will benefit students. Though the plan for the bike-share program already has positive aspects, the university should provide locks and additional locations when implementing the system.

Students will be able to rent the bikes for free from Archbold Gymnasium, but must sign a liability waiver before using them. The university should provide locks to students who rent out bicycles.

Having standardized locks for all rented bikes would make the system more secure — and convenient — for students who want to rent a bike on a whim and don’t have a lock with

them. If SU invests in quality bike locks for the rentals, the university will be less at risk for having its bikes stolen on or off campus.

The university has also considered placing a bicycle kiosk on South Campus. Implementing a bike kiosk on South Campus in addition to Archbold would be extremely beneficial for students who don’t want to rely on the bus system but don’t have a car.

When rolling out the program next semester, SU should start slowly by investing in just a few bikes to see if the program is popular. If there is high demand for the bike share, SU can order the appropriate amount of bikes in coming semesters. Having too many

scribble

bikes and a lack of interest would be a waste of resources.

If the program proves to be successful, the university should also look into adding a kiosk to downtown Syracuse. This could be an effective alternative to the Connective Corridor and would give students more freedom to visit downtown. And for students that choose to live downtown and commute to the university, establishing a bike kiosk in the city would provide more options for travel.

A bike-share system would be a positive addition to the SU campus.

The university should consider these details while planning the launch of the program on campus.

Google’s ‘Inbox’ app will bring traditional email into 21st century

T

he future of email has arrived.

Say hello to Inbox – Google’s new app that will finally bring email into the 21st century.

Think of your current email platform, but mediated by a personal assistant. The app acts as a digital secretary by bringing the most important information, like attachments and confirmation numbers, to the forefront. It also groups messages of similar content into “bundles” and can instantly create tasks and reminders based on that content.

Not only is Inbox more convenient than other email providers, but the photo-heavy interface brings life to an old-fashioned system. Giving you visual previews of your emails in a

newsfeed-like interface relates more to the modern era of social media than text-only lists. Inbox is easy to navigate and is a lot less intimidating for those users that have hundreds of unread emails piled up.

One of the best features of Inbox is the seamless transition from email to a to-do list. For people like myself who use their smartphone to stay on track throughout the day, the combination of email and task list is a game-changer.

Usually it’s an email that reminds me

of an event or work I have to do, so now instead of taking time to jot it down in the notes app, I can create a reminder immediately after reading the email.

The “snooze” feature, which allows you to have emails reappear at a certain time or geolocation, is also pretty impressive. If you’re passing by the dry cleaner’s or post office for example, Inbox will shoot you an alert reminding you to complete your task.

Forgotten emails could become a thing of the past with the option to reschedule emails for the coming days, weeks and months with just a simple swipe.

From a broader perspective, the Inbox app will go a long way in making email cool again. Email was the backbone of the beginning of the digital

era, but failed to modernize with the times. This dull messaging method may not be the most popular today, but it remains a necessity for the working world. Inbox is huge step in finally combining fun with functionality.

Google is aware that people use email mostly for work and not for personal use. If Inbox plans to compete with services such as Yahoo and Microsoft, it will need to work efficiently for all types of emails.

“We initially focused on the consumer use cases,” said Gmail’s Product Director Alex Gawley in an Oct. 22 The Verge article. But there are a “ton of additional things that we will do that will make it great in a business context as well.”

Inbox is currently in the beta stage and is only available to those that receive invites from Google or an active user. In 2004, Google launched Gmail with an invitation-only system and 10 years later it hopes its new email provider can experience the same success.

Email just got a much-needed facelift, and with its stylish interface and ease of use, I could see Inbox successfully replacing Gmail in the near future. Kudos to Google for teaching an old dog new tricks.

bike share program at SU, Martin said, though a tentative goal for early spring 2015 has been set.

“We’d like to have bikes available by mid-to-late March,” Martin said. “But that may not be possible or appropriate.”

Martin said the bike-share idea has gone through a long process of “percolating for several years” and has been discussed among the Sustainability Division, Parking and Transit Services and Recreation Services. There have also been various challenges to overcome in the early preparation stages.

“In this case, supply of bikes, storage of bikes, repair and maintenance of bikes, drafting of an appropriate waiver of liability and constructing operating procedures have all taken effort,” Martin said.

Currently, SU’s bike-share project is under development by a working departmental group including Sustainability, Parking and Transit, Recreation Services, Residence Life and the Department of Public Safety, Martin said.

The program will involve a kiosk in Archbold Gymnasium and could potentially include a second kiosk around Manley Field House on South Campus, said Melissa Fierke, an ESF biology professor involved with implementing a similar bike-sharing program at SUNY-ESF. Students have played an integral role in the bike-share program since its inception, and have remained major drivers behind the program’s development. The pilot project currently being developed at SU was started last spring by Student Association Vice President Daniela Lopez.

“We want to keep it simple, have student involvement and incorporate student ideas

that will let the program evolve,” said Scot Vanderpool, manager of SU Parking Services who has been involved with the initiative.

“Students are currently a big part of the development of the program.”

SUNY-ESF students Frannie Monasterio and Drew Gamils started the program at SUNY-ESF as part of their honors thesis project.

Monasterio and Gamils used a combination of grant money and funds allocated for their thesis project to establish the original bike-sharing program at SUNY-ESF in spring 2013. The program operates using a $20 yearly user fee, in contrast to the proposed free rates of SU’s version.

“We really like what ESF has done and modeled much of our program after ESF’s,” Vanderpool said. “ESF had a rough start but they are now getting more interest. I really think both programs will be successful.”

Fierke, who was involved with implementing the SUNY-ESF program, said there have been some challenges. But, she said she thought a similar program might fare better at SU. “A main difficulty has been getting people to actually use the bikes,” she said. “Likely reasons for this include the fact that many ESF students already own bikes, or don’t want to pay the $20 fee.”

Some students expressed enthusiasm for the idea of a bike-share program. Matt Deeb, a freshman finance and information management dual major, said he thinks a bike-sharing program would be beneficial and could provide additional transportation options for students.

Said Deeb: “I think it’s a good idea and could benefit a lot of kids who want the convenience of having a bike on campus without the responsibility of storing it overnight.” tjbeckle@syr.edu

Cornell University terminates contract with JanSport over sweatshop concerns

By Maggie Cregan staff writer

C

ornell University recently became the 15th U.S. college to drop its contract with JanSport after the manufacturer’s parent company refused to guarantee improved worker safety in Bangladesh.

The five-year, legally binding Accord on Worker Safety was created in the spring of 2013, after the Rana Plaza factory collapse in Bangladesh killed 1,129 workers and injured more than 2,000. VF Corporation, which owns JanSport, has refused to sign and, as a result, schools from Arizona State University to Pennsylvania State University have terminated their contracts with VF brands like JanSport and North Face.

One of the points in the accord is a worker safety contract, said Michael Ferrer, the student leader of the Cornell Organization for Labor Action, a

branch of United Students Against Sweatshops. “[The accord] is a legally binding contract for worker safety and it has an independent system of monitoring and specifically that it works with NGOs and unions,” Ferrer said.

As of last winter, the Cornell administration stated that it would uphold its relationship with JanSport since JanSport itself does not operate out of Bangladesh.

But students from COLA and other groups protested that decision, since JanSport profits still go to VF, according to the Cornell Daily Sun. On April 23, students hung a banner of T-shirts covered with signatures near the school’s store, and delivered the unconventional petition to President David Skorton’s office.

In May, the Cornell administration stated that if VF did not sign the accord by Sept. 30, it would cut ties with JanSport, a decision that went into effect Oct. 16.

“The sheer size of VF’s presence and influence in Bangladesh behooves the company to support all initiatives designed to improve worker and factory safety in that country,” Cornell’s president, David Skorton, wrote in an email to VF that was quoted in Cornell’s news release on the issue.

“Although VF and JanSport are separate business entities, VF’s practices regarding labor compliance and practices govern all production globally and are applied to all VF subsidiaries,” Skorton said.

Ferrer said student pressure was one factor that helped the administration to conclude that JanSport, while technically separate from VF, was for all intents and purposes ethically the same. “I think ultimately student voices became louder and louder on the issue,” he said.

Ferrer said COLA is working with the general manager of the Cornell Store to find a company to replace JanSport. “There’re actually a number of

brands that are starting to make sweatshirts and backpacks that are similar to JanSport’s style,” he said, due to the many schools that have cut ties with the company.

“The Cornell Store supports the university’s commitment to the issues surrounding worker and factory safety in Bangladesh and around the world,” James Best, the Cornell Store’s general merchandise manager, said in an email from the administration. “The store works with a large pool of vendors to offer top-quality apparel and backpacks.”

Ferrer said college students should be aware of whether their university’s apparel was manufactured ethically.

“I think the bigger issue is that college students should care about the dignity of the workers at their university. Ultimately, that’s what all of our campaigns come down to.” mmcregan@syr.edu

During his 45-minute talk, Salaita expressed his concerns over the implications of his firing and also defended his actions.

He also discussed the university administra-

I think there is a different way of going about your opinions. I like to debate, but the way he went about it was hateful.

If anything, what he did was create more controversy than peace.

tions’ idea of civility, arrogance of the University of Illinois board of trustees and how comments against Israel’s state actions do not equate with anti-Semitism.

Salaita added that the atrocities in Gaza warranted his extreme language.

He elaborated on one of his tweets that read, “You may be too refined to say it, but I’m not: I wish all the f***ing West Bank settlers

would go missing.”

“The tweet about the settlers going missing has gotten so much attention. I got in trouble for tweeting, but if I wanted the settlers kidnapped or murdered, I would have said so,” Salaita said.

Silvio Torres-Saillant, an English and Textual Studies professor at SU, said he thought it was unusual that a professor could get fired in the United States over his opinions of another state’s actions.

“The other thing that worries me even more is the kind of logic that construes opinions against a state as opinions against the population of that state,” Torres-Saillant said.

Peri Schuster, a sophomore political science major, said she thought Salaita did not adequately address the offensive nature of his tweets. Schuster said she was personally offended by Salaita’s tweets and disagreed with a lot of Salaita’s talk.

“I think there is a different way of going about your opinions,” Schuster said. “I like to debate, but the way he went about it was hateful. If anything, what he did was create more controversy than peace.”

Salaita said he did nothing that would justify his firing or compromising his free speech. Salaita added that sometimes people need to air their frustrations.

“Sometimes when we’re deeply affected politically, we’re deeply affected emotionally.

Sometimes we don’t always feel like putting things in a way that will bring in the widest possible visitorships,” he said. “Sometimes we want to express our frustration at the world.

That’s what I did in probably 15 tweets among the many thousands.” acappucc@syr.edu

SU staff to carve pumpkins

Breast Cancer Awareness Month part 3 of 3

Departments in Schine to participate in annual Halloween competition

By Liz Sprout contributing writer

CARLA LLOYD has kept every single card she received when she was going through treatment for stage 3 breast cancer. The support from her friends and family helped her to keep a positive attitude throughout more than a year of treatments.

Living in hope Professor finds strength in notes from friends, family Text By Casey Fabris

estled safely in a back closet inside Carla Lloyd’s home is a green plastic container fi lled with cards.

There are cards from her mother, sister, cousins, colleagues, church friends, former students and nurse practitioners. There are funny cards, get well soon cards, “get well-er” cards and homemade cards.

The cards are from a time in Lloyd’s life that, each October, creeps back into her memory. They are a reminder of her battle with breast cancer. A battle in which Lloyd, an advertising professor in the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications, came out the victor.

Her friend Karen Bakke, a fashion design professor at Syracuse University, sent her handmade cards, Bakke’s specialty since childhood.

Brenda Wrigley, a former Newhouse professor who now teaches at Emerson College, would spend half an hour in Hallmark, looking for the perfect card.

“I probably should have had stock in Hallmark,” she said.

Lloyd kept every single one.

The cards used to hang around the kitchen sink, wind-

ing up and down the cabinets and wrapping around the windowsill. They acted as an “arc of positive energy.”

But Lloyd didn’t just receive cards. She sent them too.

“Every time I did something for her she’d send me a thank you card,” said Nancy Bunn, Lloyd’s friend of more than 15 years. “That’s the kind of person she is.”

Today, there are no cards hanging around the windowsill in Lloyd’s kitchen. Now there is only a small nameless, faceless figurine sitting on the windowsill. He holds a wire balloon with the word “hope.”

Each day, Lloyd looks at this figurine, a gift from her see awareness page 12

Lloyd keeps a figurine from her cousin on her windowsill as a constant reminder to have hope.

When the maintenance team won the Schine Student Center pumpkin-carving contest in 2012, Phil Benedict “lost his mind,” and ran around the atrium, Bridget Yule said.

It was the maintenance team’s first year competing, and nobody expected them to win.

“It was a pumpkin that was sitting on a chair and crapping out a pumpkin pie,” said Yule, the director of Student Centers and Programming Services. “It was so amazing and not distasteful — just very cute.”

Benedict’s reaction shows the competitive nature of the annual pumpkin-carving competition at Schine, which will be held on Halloween. The contest is open for the public to watch, but invites only administrative officers and staff members within Schine to compete.

“It can get really competitive,” said

It’s like the food show Chopped, where the judges yell ‘Drop everything!’

Elda Hernandez graduate student assistant in student centers and programming services

Elda Hernandez, a graduate student assistant in the Student Centers and Programming Services department. “I got emails — even before I sent out the flier — from administrators saying they wanted to sign up for pumpkin carving.”

Hernandez said the pumpkin-carving competition began in 1985 when Schine was first built. She has been in charge of preparing for the event and will be participating in the contest for the second time. Hernandez added that she can’t wait to transform her pumpkin into a work of art.

Administrators who don’t work at Schine will judge the contest to ensure there is no bias in the decision-making.

They will rank the pumpkins based on four categories: originality, creativity, see pumpkins page 14

awareness cousin, a fellow breast cancer survivor, and reminds herself to have hope.

When Lloyd was diagnosed with breast cancer in June 2011, she was shocked. She had been getting mammograms since she was in her 40s, didn’t smoke or drink and didn’t have a history of breast cancer with her mother or sister.

In May 2010, she went in for her annual mammogram. The doctors found a cyst on her right breast, toward her ribcage. They decided to keep an eye on it.

“So I went about my life, with this cyst over here,” Lloyd said.

But then the cyst began to hurt. At her next mammogram in June 2011, it was reexamined and the doctors found there was a cancerous tumor growing beneath the cyst.

She had stage 3 breast cancer.

Lloyd was alone when she got the diagnosis.

She began to cry, the first of only two times she’d cry throughout the entire process. She felt as if she was being “lowered into a well, a deep well, dark and black.”

But Lloyd didn’t have much time to dwell on the diagnosis. Later that month she had a lumpectomy to have the tumor removed and in August she began chemotherapy.

“Once you’re diagnosed it’s like you board this high-speed train and you enter into this world of medicine very quickly and very, very deeply,” Lloyd said. “And that became my life for a year.”

That first round of chemotherapy was followed by two more. Lloyd also elected to have radiation treatment and a bilateral mastectomy, or both of her breasts removed. Because of the type of breast cancer Lloyd had – a kind in which the presence of the HER2 protein makes cancer cells grow more

dailyorange.com pulp@dailyorange.com

rapidly – she also received additional treatments.

For Lloyd, fighting cancer was a full-time job.

Her calendars from the summer of 2011 to the fall of 2012 are filled to the brim with neat notes detailing treatments, blood tests and counseling.

Lloyd, who also co-founded the Fashion and Beauty Communications Milestone, has worked at Newhouse for 31 years. Work is her life. But she took the 2011-2012 school year off.

“I was the same person, but I was a different person,” she said. “My work shifted. My work shifted to trying to fight cancer.”

Wrigley, the Emerson professor, was a source of support for Lloyd. She sat with Lloyd’s husband and son in the waiting room during her surgeries and came to visit when Lloyd was recovering.

“It was hard as her friend to see her that way,” she said. “But that’s what friends do.”

Though Lloyd was endlessly positive, there were times it was impossible to deny she was a cancer patient, like when she began to lose her hair.

To make the transition from her long hair to no hair easier, Lloyd bought a wig and had her hairstylist cut her hair into the same style as the wig.

For Lloyd, a wig was a necessity – she discovered that her skull was “not pretty,” she said with a laugh.

Bakke, who co-founded the Fashion and Beauty Communications Milestone with Lloyd, said she knew the wig would have to be “fabulous.” And it was.

“I said, ‘Oh my god, I want hair that looks like that,’” Bakke said, laughing.

People would stop Lloyd as she walked down the street to ask where she got her hair cut.

Lloyd knew she “had more life to live.”

But she still had moments of doubt, moments where she questioned her fate. One of them – the only time she cried after receiving her diagnosis – was when Steve Jobs died.

“I was still in treatment going, ‘I wonder if

Lloyd’s cards range from funny to get well soon to “get well-er” to homemade cards. She keeps them in a green plastic container in a back closet of her home.

that will be me. Will the chemo be able to stop it?’” she said.

But the chemo did stop it. Her treatments ended in October 2012. And after more than a year of nonstop cancer treatment, it all came to an abrupt halt.

Appointment by appointment, she had finally been raised up from the deep, dark well she fell into when she was diagnosed. She’s not technically in remission yet – that comes after five years – but she’s on her way.

“Am I out of the well? Well, I’m not yet determined a survivor, but I’m up in the light, not way down there in the dark,” Lloyd said.

In the fall of 2012, Lloyd returned to Newhouse after her year of medical leave. She was still finishing up a few treatments and wearing her wig, but most of her students didn’t know about the breast cancer.

Still, those students, particularly in ADV 307: Conceptual and Creative Thinking in

Media Planning – a class Lloyd was teaching for the first time – will always be special to her.

For her entire career, Lloyd has used a purple felt-tip pen to grade her students’ papers.

But now, she uses a green pen. The purple pen was retired with those students from ADV 307.

Today, cancer is not a part of Lloyd’s everyday life. It’s not something she talks about often. The disease comes to the forefront of her mind in October, during breast cancer awareness month, and every few months when she has blood tests to check on her progress.

They still make her nervous. Her next test is on Nov. 7.

But she remains hopeful – as the figurine that sits on her windowsill reminds her to every day – that the cancer will stay away.

“For the time being, I can live my life and hope that I’m not revisited,” Lloyd said. “But if that’s what happens, I’ll start the battle again.” cffabris@syr.edu | @caseyfabris

Ontario Orchards offers fresh products, seasonal activities

By Abby Maddigan staff writer

O

rchards aren’t just for apple picking.

For the past 49 years, Ontario Orchards has served the community as a year-round farm and market. The 30-acre farm is a place for students, children and families to come and purchase fresh produce, pick from the orchards and celebrate various holiday seasons.

Established in 1965, Ontario Orchards is known for its Fall Jamboree, which brings together the spirit of the season with pumpkin picking, music, food and other fall activities.

Although the jamboree takes place earlier in fall, there are plenty of pumpkins left to pick in time for Halloween.

“People can come out to Ontario Orchards to purchase or just look,” said Dennis Ouellette, owner of Ontario Orchards. “We usually have something for everyone from ages 2 until 92.”

As the end of October nears, Ontario Orchards is in the prime season for apple and pumpkin picking. At the farm, guests are welcome to pick their own pumpkins from the orchard or purchase ones that have already been picked. Along with pumpkin picking, visitors also have the option to tour through the corn mazes or go on hayrides.

Kathy Ouellette, the manager at Ontario Orchards, also recommends that visitors stop by the winery, the Cider Mill.

“We have a winery section and a home brewing section,” Kathy Ouellette said. “We offer wine- and beer-making supplies, and all kinds of juice kits from sweet wines to dry wines. Students can come here and sample the products.”

Along with the U-Pick orchards and roadside stands, guests can also go shopping at The Shack, Ontario Orchards’ farm market. The Shack sells many of the orchard’s farm fresh products like fruits and vegetables, as well as apple cider, cheese and other products.

Some of the big name products sold at The Shack are Buck’s Seasoning, Hinerwadel’s Salt Potatoes, Croghan Bologna and Grandma

Ontario Orchards gives visitors the option to pick pumpkins, navigate a corn maze and go on hayrides. The orchard’s market, The Shack, also offers freshly picked apples and pumpkins, salad dressings, mustard and fruit butter. courtesy of dennis ouellette

Brown’s Baked Beans and Soups. The market also sells the orchard’s homemade products such as Ontario Orchards licorice, salad dressings, mustard and fruit butter.

Those with a sweet tooth can find their way to the bakery at Ontario Orchards. Everything sold in the bakery is homemade, and most items include products straight from the farm, such as the apple pie made from the orchard’s apples. The bakery also sells homemade farm breads and rolls, cinnamon buns, croissants, apple fritters and cider donuts.

Since the orchard remains open seven days a week year-round, students can visit any time

throughout the school year. As the winter approaches, Ontario Orchards swaps out the pumpkin picking for U-Cut Christmas trees.

Regardless of the time of year, there is one thing Ontario Orchards continues to promote: agritourism, which it has worked to spread throughout the area.

Dennis Ouellette defines the agribusiness as an initiative started by New York State. The agribusiness initiative works to create an alliance between the local farmers and the public.

“We definitely encourage students to come to Ontario Orchards because many of them don’t live in the immediate area,” Dennis Ouellette said.

“They are from out of town, so this is a great opportunity for them to experience the agribusiness.”

By bringing the works of farmers into the public eye, the public can become educated on the culture and importance of local agriculture.

Dennis Ouellette said this is a unique system that’s becoming more popular in New York.

Ontario Orchards aims to promote the growing agribusiness, while providing guests with farm fresh products and a fun experience.

Said Dennis Ouellette: “It is a great place to visit 12 months of the year, but there is especially a lot of things to do and see during our harvest time.” ammaddig@syr.edu

pumpkins appearance and teamwork. Hernandez said after everyone worked noticeably well together last year, the judges unanimously agreed to add teamwork as a new category this year.

Each department’s team brings any props or costumes that go along with their pumpkin’s theme to the event. Rose Marie Crisalli, program manager for the SU bookstore, said her department always tries to use puns in its themes. Last year her team dressed up as witches as part of its “Witch Way to the Bookstore” theme.

Although there are humorous costumes, decorations and music, the pumpkin carving is no joke to administrators. Contestants are given one hour to carve and set up their pumpkin display. Once time is up, the judges yell, “Time!” and contestants must immediately stop working.

“It’s like the food show ‘Chopped,’ where the judges yell ‘Drop everything!’” Hernandez said. “That’s pretty much how we do it, too.”

year’s first, second and third place winners. But only the first place winner will be awarded a plaque as proof of their victory, Hernandez said.

This year’s contestants include staff members in the Shaw Student Center, the Syracuse University Bookstore, the Office of Student Activities and the Student Centers and Programming Services departments. Hernandez said Schine Dining usually competes, but can’t this year because the contest overlaps with Family Weekend.

Yule said although Schine Dining will be missed, other departments will now have a chance to step up their game. She added that the SU bookstore and Schine Dining have the biggest rivalry, but Schine Dining has been more victorious in the past — the team has won seven times since 2000.

Last year, Schine Dining went “all out” on its pumpkin display, Hernandez said. The department’s pumpkin resembled an apple, and team members spray-painted it and added fruit, pastries and apple cider to the pumpkin display.

Said Hernandez: “It’s just a lot of fun getting to see everyone outside of their job responsibilities and watching people really enjoy themselves.”

Then there’s always the classic college costume — the promiscuous take on a childhood classic. Mice, bunnies, superheroes and civil service workers are all up for grabs. If your good old guardians decide to take a stroll down Comstock Avenue, they’re less likely to recognize you as a sexualized rodent, because there’ll be more than enough of them walking around. On a side note, someone ought to dress up like an exterminator and chase around all the sexy mice with a net.

If you want to be really secure in your identity, you’re going to need to be a little more creative.

I remember learning in psychology class that you wouldn’t recognize yourself if you happened to see yourself walking down the street. This can be used to your advantage on All Hallows’ Eve. If your parents saw themselves, or who they assumed to be other parents out and about, they’d be much less likely to pay you any mind.

It may require a trip to the Salvation Army and Kohl’s, but it can be done. For your stereotypical suburban, baby-boomer mom, pick up a few turtleneck cat sweaters, some beat to death “mom jeans,” a wig and some white New Balance sneakers. For dad, it’s always safe to go with the “Dallas Cowboys Super Bowl XXVIII Champions” sweatshirt, a baseball cap and some jeans that have faded more than the Jonas Brothers.

Give your family some peace of mind this weekend, and don’t let them catch you being too crazy. What they don’t know can’t hurt them.

On the other hand, will dressing as a 50-year-old man cause problems when you try to get into a party? It might be seen as a tad creepy, but you can’t have Halloween without a little creepiness.

f I could dress up like a sexy cat every day, I totally would. We live in an increasingly tolerant world, but it’s still socially unacceptable for me to walk around in a skimpy cat suit most of the time.

But then the leaves change, the cool breeze sets in and we can all wear whatever we want in the name of candy and parties. Halloween weekend is upon us. The weekend is sure to be filled with lots of spooky shenanigans, cemetery picnics, parties and… parents.

Is it a coincidence that Halloween weekend and Family Weekend fall over the same three days? I doubt there’s some grand conspiracy to stop the kids from going out since their families may be around. Nevertheless, it could cause some problems. I don’t know about you, but I certainly wouldn’t want to encounter my family on Marshall Street when I’m dressed up like a giant baby with a belly full of “milk.”

Of course, the whole purpose of Family Weekend is to spend some time with your folks, but you may want to avoid the adrenaline shot to the heart of seeing them on Halloween night. If there’s a perfect time and place to conceal your identity, it’s a college campus on Halloween.

Let’s face it, our parents could probably pick us out of a crowd way easier than we’d hope. Still, there are a few steps you can take to make yourself unrecognizable to those that know you best.

If you want to take the easy way out, you can always tell your family that you’ll be dressing as something ridiculous, like a cheeseburger with wings or something, and then just walk around in your normal clothes. Your parents will never find you, and you can tell people you’re “just being yourself.” Kids these days like irony.

A better strategy is to blend in. Here you have to go for the basic costumes that you’ll see 800 times throughout the night. For the dudes who are uncomfortable in a leotard, being a nerd or a cowboy is always easy. I wouldn’t dress as Waldo, since your parents will surely find you.

Boeheim: Coleman status stays uncertain as season begins

By Jesse Dougherty sports editor

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — After Syracuse head coach Jim Boeheim explained why he wouldn’t comment on the upcoming NCAA hearing on Wednesday, the conversation flipped to basketball and he addressed the current status of the injured DaJuan Coleman.

from page 20

reddish Young used to remind Reddish and his teammates to bulk up on what he calls the “poor man’s diet” of peanut butter and banana sandwiches with every meal.

Young remembers Reddish not needing much help in high school, just smiling a lot and catching a lot of passes both as a receiver and a cornerback.

He caught the game-tying touchdown in the 2010 Public School Athletic League championship game with three minutes to play against Wayne Williams’ Abraham Lincoln High School.

“I don’t know how, Brandon Reddish wound up sneaking back there and a deep ball — there just wasn’t enough time left after they went for the two,” said Williams, SU’s junior nose tackle.

Young still tells Reddish to work out more and bulk up. But at Syracuse, Reddish does his own share of coaching.

“He’s always been the leader,” Bullough

Coleman is recovering from a surgically repaired knee and Boeheim wasn’t able to provide much of a timetable for a possible return.

“He’s walking. He’s doing some drills. It’s Nov. 1 and he hasn’t run yet,” Boeheim said at Atlantic Coast Conference media day in Charlotte, North Carolina. “He hasn’t run in 11 months. I would hope that he’s going to try running in November, jumping at the end of November. We’re going to

see how it feels. I have no idea what’s going to happen. Doctors don’t know.”

When asked when the Orange will know whether it has to shut Coleman down for the season, Boeheim said he could play if he was “moving really well” by early December.

“But I don’t know if that’s going to happen, honestly,” he added.

Syracuse opens up a two-game exhibition

schedule against Carleton College at 1 p.m. in the Carrier Dome on Sunday, and the regular season at home against Kennesaw State on Nov. 14.

Without Coleman, senior forward Rakeem Christmas, freshman forward Chris McCullough, sophomore forward Tyler Roberson and sophomore center Chinonso Obokoh are expected to see the bulk of the minutes in the SU frontcourt.

said. “Always.”

The defensive coordinator said he had doubts about Reddish’s ability to keep up with the faster players in the ACC, but that they’ve been proven wrong. In Bullough’s first season last year, Reddish played hurt in a secondary that gave up 229.8 passing yards per game.

full strength, teaching without talking unless he really needs to.

A week or two ago, he said, another SU defensive back reached out to him about studying film. So Reddish texted and FaceTimed his teammate as they watched film on iPads. Reddish quizzed him on each opponent’s play, asking him what he should do to counter each move by the other team.

When the teammate got it wrong, Reddish corrected him.

“If somebody’s having a problem,” Reddish said, “I come in with them no matter the time, I’m coming in to help them.”

Senior strong safety Darius Kelly remembers visiting Syracuse in December of 2012 when he was in the process of transferring from Pima Community College (Arizona).

Reddish was his host.

He showed Kelly where he’d be living, took him to the Schine Student Center and they talked about Sbarro’s pizza, but otherwise Reddish didn’t say much.

Just under two years later, Reddish is the same in front of Kelly on the field as he was in the food court. It’s not that Reddish is standoffish. He joins his defensive teammates for NBA 2K and Madden tournaments, passes on trips to the movies — “I might just be home chilling,” he said — and jokes with Kelly, but under his breath.

He hears him on the field, though.

With about five minutes left in the first quarter of SU’s 16-6 loss to Clemson on Saturday, Reddish cut in front of CU quarterback Cole Stoudt’s deep pass down the right side of the field and popped the ball up in front of the 6-foot-4 Mike Williams before snaring it from the wide receiver.

Early in the second quarter against Clemson, Stoudt rolled to his right and picked out Adam Humphries, who Reddish promptly drilled, limiting the receiver to a 1-yard gain.

Said Kelly: “He has a little wild side when he gets on field.”

If somebody’s having a problem, I come in with them no matter the time, I’m coming in to help them.

In 2013, Reddish would arrive at Manley Field House early to hop in a cold tub to get his legs back underneath him and then get treatment during the day. Now Reddish can play at

Orange looks to use depth against UNC, finish season strong

By Liam Sullivan staff writer

At the beginning of the season, Syracuse head coach Phil Wheddon referred to this year’s team as the deepest one he’d ever coached.

He still feels the same way, even though SU has only won two Atlantic Coast Conference games this season with only one left to play.

Syracuse (5-9-4, 2-6-1 Atlantic Coast) has one last chance to translate its depth into a victory and it comes against No. 5 North Carolina (11-2-2, 8-01) this Sunday at 1 p.m. at SU Soccer Stadium. The team has started 18 players this year, but even with a win Sunday, the Orange can’t win as many games as last season’s team, which started 15 players.

Wheddon said the Orange’s only senior on the roster, Alexis Koval, may return to the team next year as a fifth-year senior. With the potential of not losing anyone and adding a freshman class that the players raved about, SU feels optimistic looking beyond Sunday’s game.

“We have 19 players who are freshmen or sophomores,” Wheddon said. “With those kinds of numbers, next year and the year after

and the year after are going to be great for us.”

As opposed to seeing a drop-off in play by substituting often, Wheddon hasn’t seen that happening for Syracuse this season. He finds that the team often has something to gain by going to its reserves.

We have 19 players who are freshmen or sophomores.

With those kinds of numbers, next year and the year after and the year after are going to be great for us.

Phil Wheddon su head coach

Syracuse has struggled over the last month as its last win and goal came against Boston College on Oct. 4. SU has totaled four losses and a tie since, but Wheddon has been relatively happy with his team’s performance, pointing to the fact that the ACC is an “unforgiving” conference as a reason why the

depth hasn’t translated onto the scoreboard.

“Apart from the Florida State and Virginia Tech game, we’ve been in every game,” Wheddon said when asked about how less depth would have affected SU’s record. “I don’t know if we would have dropped more games, but we probably would have had to take up a different mentality. We would have had to play a lot more defensive and hold back a little bit more.”

Although the team has lost six conference games, the Orange has been able to play competitively with some of the best teams in the country, losing only one of four games against ranked opponents by more than two goals.

With the speed of play in the ACC being so quick, it’s been useful for the team to turn to the bench in certain situations, Wheddon said.

One example of the team receiving contributions from different players was freshman Alana O’Neill’s two-goal explosion off the bench in a 3-0 win over BC. It was the freshman’s first time at forward since high school, but the spark from an unlikely source speaks to the roster’s depth.

“Alana was a great example of what this team’s about,” said junior forward Maya Pitts.

“We have so many talented, technical and passionate players that it’s hard to know who’s going to make the big plays.”

Pitts added that SU has a lot of work to do, but throughout the season the Orange has greatly improved because of how many players have seen the field.

Fellow freshman Eva Gordon said she thinks the team’s depth has been beneficial, especially considering the number of young players on the roster. Practices filled with intense competition have only helped Syracuse get better as players know their performance in practice has a direct correlation to their playing time.

“It betters us younger players a whole lot,” Gordon said. “For the most part, we’ve all gotten the chance to see the field, improve and develop.”

The team looks to continue its development and finish the season on the right foot Sunday afternoon.

“The expectation moving forward (to next season) is the NCAA tournament,” Wheddon said. “We need to be one of those teams. We have the personnel and now we have the experience.” lpsull01@syr.edu

Left wing Callahan continues return against Boston College

By Sam Blum asst. copy editor

When Liam Callahan came back into the Syracuse rotation on Saturday, everything felt as it had through the first 12 games of the season — until he became exhausted.

The conditioning that had boosted his, and Syracuse’s, strong defensive start to the season was failing him.

“It’s crazy how quick that goes away,” Callahan said. “I came into the game Saturday, and it was pretty obvious how I wasn’t at my physical peak that I usually was in the middle of the season. It’s just a matter of working back to that.”

After missing three games in two weeks with a sprained right ankle — a stretch in which Syracuse allowed four goals compared to just two with him starting — Callahan subbed on against North Carolina State on Oct. 25, making his return sooner than he expected. SU head coach Ian McIntyre said he might sub Callahan on again when the No. 3 Orange (13-2-1, 4-2-1 Atlantic Coast) hosts Boston College (5-7-3, 1-5-1) in its regular season finale on Friday at 7 p.m. at SU Soccer Stadium.

Korab Syla and Chris Makowski manned the left side while Callahan was out, but Callahan is working to get his fitness back to full strength and regain his starting job.

“Getting him back healthy is very important to the success of our team, and he knows that,”

louisville former Big East programs chatted in the second floor of The Westin Hotel in Charlotte, North Carolina, taking a break from a day spent previewing the second year in which former Big East teams will influence the ACC’s on-court product.

“They play physical, and their vibe is pressure defense and the physicality is kind of different,” Adam Smith, a junior guard at Virginia, said at media day. “I think that kind of picked up the other ACC teams that were already here. Everyone is playing physical now and I think Louisville is going to add to that.”

With Maryland moving to the Big Ten and Louisville set to play its first ACC season in 201415, the conference now has four teams — includ-

grant in a week or so,” said Robinson, a junior guard at Pittsburgh, at Atlantic Coast Conference media day on Wednesday. “He’s frustrated because he knows he wants to be out there, but he knows he can’t rush it back.”

Robinson wasn’t Grant’s only former DeMatha Catholic (Maryland) High School teammate at media day, as his brother Jerian Grant represented Notre Dame and senior guard Quinn Cook was there with Duke. Jerian Grant echoed Robinson’s projection of a “week or two” for Jerami’s return and said wanting to prove he was worthy of a first-round pick is adding to the frustration of not being on the court.

“He felt like he was a first-round talent, so he’s just out there to prove that he was,” Jerian Grant said.

After foregoing his final two years of eli-

said goalkeeper Alex Bono. “We have decent guys coming off the bench, we have replacements…but for Liam to get back, it’s important for us.”

In the first half of Syracuse’s 3-1 win against Wake Forest on Oct. 10, Callahan was taken out on a sliding tackle and said he felt a popping in his right ankle. He had previously missed time with a dislocated right ankle in 2012 at Villanova and was worried the injury had resurfaced.

When the Syracuse trainers sat down to explain the technicalities of the injury in the days afterward, Callahan said he zoned out, only focused on a timetable for his return.

At first the doctors told him it might be a high-ankle sprain, which would have kept him out for a longer period of time, but it was just a normal ankle sprain.

“When I’m on my own sometimes, I wish I was out there,” Callahan said. “When I’m watching practice, I’m like, ‘Jeez, this sucks, I wish I could play…’ But it’s nothing new to me.”

To rehab, Callahan met with the trainers every day for an hour. He’d ice the ankle to help the swelling go down. After he started walking and building his strength again he tried to balance on one leg and do calf raises. And once that ended, he got back to the field, starting to build up his fitness.

“He needs a little bit of time, it’s great to see him out there against N.C. State, to get him some minutes,” McIntyre said. “The more comfortable and training he gets, the better he will be.”

With Callahan back, Syracuse figures to be better too. McIntyre said both Syla and Makowski did an admirable job filling in for the injured starter, but Callahan being leftfooted gives him an advantage on the left side.

And with Syracuse heading into the home stretch of its best season in program history, one of the players that got the team there is

looking to arrive at full strength as the postseason does.

“Liam has one of the best left foots on the team, he has one of the best serves on the team,” Bono said. “For Liam to get back, and for us to have those types of weapons on both sides of the field, it’s important for us.”

ing Syracuse, Pittsburgh and Notre Dame — that were part of the Big East basketball conference two years ago. The ACC now features four Hall of Fame coaches, as Louisville’s Rick Pitino joins Syracuse’s Jim Boeheim, Duke’s Mike Krzyzewski and North Carolina’s Roy Williams.

The consensus from players that saw the Orange, Panthers and Fighting Irish transition last season is that they brought a “grind-it-out” style of play and more physicality.

The teams that have played against the Cardinals expect that trend to continue.

“Some of the toughest games that I’ve been in in my college career have been against Louisville,” Syracuse guard Trevor Cooney said. “They’re tough with the pressure they put on and it’s tough to play against, you can ask anyone that has. “ … They’re a great program, they are very,

very well-coached, and that’s what they’re going to bring to the conference. Just another great team and another great program.”

After winning the Big East championship and national championship in 2012-13, Louisville won the AAC championship last year, finishing 15-3 in conference and 31-6 overall.

The Cardinals’ season ended with a Sweet 16 loss to Kentucky in the NCAA Tournament and they return Blackshear, Harrell, Chris Jones and Terry Rozier, among others, for their first year of competition in the ACC. Louisville’s former conference foes were scattered about the final regular-season ACC standings last year — Syracuse finishing second, Pittsburgh fifth and Notre Dame 13th.

“I don’t think we’re taking much of a look at that,” Blackshear said. “The Big East was a

tough conference, I played in the Big East and Montrezl obviously did too, we know how it is and this reminds us of the Big East with all the powerhouse teams and good teams. We really know what’s ahead of us.”

For the Orange, Louisville joining the ACC offers a long-awaited shot at revenge.

The last time the two teams met was in the 2013 Big East tournament final, when the Cardinals erased a 16-point lead to eventually win by 17.

SU hosts the Cardinals on Feb. 18 at 7 p.m. in the Carrier Dome and it will be one of the many times that Big East roots clash on the ACC landscape this year.

Said Cooney: “It will be great for them to come back to the Dome, I know our fans don’t like Louisville that much.”

gibility with the Orange, Grant fell to Philadelphia at the 39th pick in the second round.

The 76ers open their season in Indiana on Wednesday at 7 p.m. But he won’t be playing just yet and according to multiple reports he’s considering spending time in the NBA’s Developmental League to get back to full strength.

Grant missed time as a sophomore with SU last season with a back injury and couldn’t play in the 2013 FIBA Under-19 World Championship for the Team USA Under-19 team due to mononucleosis.

Because they’ve seen him claw back before, Jerian Grant, Robinson and Cook all said they wouldn’t be surprised if Grant was back ahead of schedule.

“He’s just working to get out there and it might set him back a little bit,” said Cook, who has been playing with Grant since the two were 7 years old. “But at the same time, he’s living his dream right now.” jcdoug01@syr.edu | @dougherty_jesse

Shafer praises Long’s poise, confidence despite struggles asst. sports editor

As a former college quarterback, Scott Shafer can relate to AJ Long.

So as Syracuse (3-5, 1-3 Atlantic Coast) moves forward after Saturday night’s rough outing at Clemson, Shafer views it as a growing experience for his true freshman quarterback.

“For an 18-year-old kid going into Death Valley, hell of a situation but one that you learn from,” Shafer said Wednesday morning during the ACC coaches’ teleconference. “I always felt like, especially at quarterback, you learn more from your failures than you did your triumphs.”

In Syracuse’s 16-6 loss to the Tigers, Long competed just 12 of his 27 passing attempts for 82 yards, throwing two interceptions, taking four sacks and fumbling three times, though SU recovered each one. Facing reporters after the game and again Tuesday night, Long owned up to his mistakes.

“The good thing about AJ is even though he’s extremely hard on himself, he’s one of the guys that he’ll just go out there and play the next game, the next practice,” Shafer said. “And that’s what he did yesterday at practice. Some guys, they compartmentalize and they freak out a little bit and that’s not who AJ is.”

Shafer had a talk Long during halftime of Saturday’s game, in which he asked his quarterback

to remember the best game he’s ever played.

The head coach reminded Long to breathe, slow down and “see what you’re taught to see” in the Tigers’ defense.

Shafer said he thought Florida State’s, Notre Dame’s and Louisville’s defenses were all great.

But out of all the defenses SU’ s played this season, Clemson was the best. And he believes Long will be better off for having faced it.

Crume, to say it. He says he doesn’t really like to yell, much less talk.

But in his hometown of Brooklyn, New York he’s known as “Bam.” Behind a childish face and a mouth that rarely opens, the 5-foot-10 Reddish leads a muchimproved SU secondary. The

senior also leads the Orange (3-5, 1-3 Atlantic Coast) in interceptions with two and his open-field tackling has stood out among a set of defensive backs that are routinely targeted by bubble screens.

After battling through injury for much of last season, the soft-spoken cornerback is a recovered player with extra hours that used to be spent in treatment. Now, he has time to help teammates study film,

quiz them as they do and comfort upset teammates.

“He’s aware of everybody on the team and how their personalities are,” SU defensive said coordinator Chuck Bullough.

When Reddish goes back to Brooklyn, he greets his former Fort Hamilton volunteer assistant coach, Mikael Young, with the coach’s old nickname, “Money.” see reddish page 16

Louisville makes 1st Grant works back from injury with 76ers official ACC appearance

By Jesse Dougherty sports editor

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — James Robinson and Jerami Grant hung out but didn’t get to work out together this summer. The two didn’t coordinate their workouts, so Robinson didn’t get to see how Grant — a former Syracuse forward who averaged 12.1 points per game last season — is recovering

from an ankle injury that will keep him sidelined for the start of his NBA career with the Philadelphia 76ers.

But Robinson and Grant discussed Grant’s path to professional basketball over the summer and Robinson said his former high school teammate is just itching to get onto the court.

Syracuse placed fifth in the preseason Atlantic Coast Conference poll and no players received preseason All-ACC honors at the conference’s media day in Charlotte, North Carolina on Wednesday.

Duke took first in the poll with 935 points and 41 first-place votes, followed by North Carolina (870 points and 12 first-place votes), Louisville (847 points and three firstplace votes) and Virginia (824 points and seven first-place votes).

The Orange received 706 points and two first-place votes. SU finished second in the ACC preseason poll a year ago and came in second at the end of the regular season.

A year after forward C.J. Fair earned the ACC’s preseason player of the year award and preseason firstteam honors, Syracuse went without an All-ACC honoree.

North Carolina’s Marcus Paige was named the conference’s preseason player of the year and headed a first team that included Notre Dame guard Jerian Grant, Virginia guard Malcolm Brogdon, Louisville forward Montrezl Harrell and Duke center Jahlil Okafor, who garnered the ACC’s preseason freshman of the year honor. pmdabbra@syr.edu | @PhilDAbb
