Group to further campus presence Administrators reflect on Crouse-Hinds sit-in

By Justin Mattingly asst. news editor

It has been 11 days since THE General Body left Crouse-Hinds Hall, ending the first part of its movement just days before Thanksgiving Break. The group is now looking to continue the work it began and further negotiations on issues it feels are vital to the future of Syracuse University in its second phase.

THE General Body, a coalition of student organizations at SU, staged a sit-in in Crouse-Hinds Hall for more than two weeks, starting on Nov. 3, following the Diversity and Trans-

parency Rally, and ending on Nov. 20.

The group had said that members would likely be staying in CrouseHinds over Thanksgiving Break, but ultimately decided that it was not the best move going forward.

“Having anyone stay through Thanksgiving Break was going to be a really big commitment and we’d already stayed there for 18 days,” said Ben Kuebrich, a Ph.D. candidate in composition and cultural rhetoric and member of THE General Body. “So it was going to be a big commitment and we had to decide what would be the best plan of action to address these needs and

just deciding that it wasn’t going to be the way to do it.”

Colton Jones, a senior psychology major and one of the organizers of the sit-in, said the group got the most out of the sit-in and added that, “our time at Crouse-Hinds ended when it was supposed to.”

Moving forward, the group is looking to continue its work that started with the sit-in. THE General Body’s list of grievances and demands remains at 45 pages, but it hopes to continue building its presence on the SU campus and around the country. see the

For 18 days, students sat in the lobby of Crouse-Hinds Hall, demanding change.

They sat through weekends and they sat as the weather changed from sunny to snowy.

And many Syracuse University administrators had never seen anything quite like it.

“I think all of us certainly interact with students around particular issues over long periods of time,” said Vice

Chancellor and Provost Eric Spina. “At least for me this is the first time at Syracuse that we’ve had a sit-in.”

On Nov. 3, following the Diversity and Transparency Rally on the Quad, about 50 students marched to the lobby of Crouse-Hinds with a 43-page grievances and demands document. That night, they met with administrators to discuss the document and 40 students were allowed to stay overnight in the building.

For the next 17 days, the students

Freshman pursues interest in comic culture

By Alex Erdekian asst. copy editor

While most people recognize superheroes for fighting crime and beating bad guys, freshman Sydney Tracey sees something they’ve overlooked.

Tracey, a television, radio and film major, is a comic fanatic. Her passion for comics is fairly new, although she said they have always fascinated her.

While pursuing her interest in comic books, Tracey has become concerned with the treatment of women in the comic community.

“I think women are viewed as that they’re almost doing it to get attention. They’re not seen as a viable aspect of that world,” Tracey said.

However, Tracey believes the role of women in comics is improving. She said strong female characters can help repair the issue of gender stereotypes.

She particularly hopes the character Black Widow, who is played by Scarlett Johansson in “Iron Man 2,” “Marvel’s The Avengers” and “Captain America: The Winter Soldier,” will help bridge the gender gap in comics.

“Don’t get discouraged reading comic books if you’re a female,” Tracey said. “Do what you like and don’t worry what other people say about it.”

Her interest in comics took off last year after a friend introduced her to Marvel movies. She has since enjoyed comics by watching movie adaptations and growing her collection of comic merchandise.

Tracey is also inspired by movie adaptations of comic books and hopes

to make her own film someday. In the short-term future, Tracey hopes to foster her interest by enhancing her collection, attending Comic Con and introducing comics to other people.

The moral lessons taught in comic books are especially interesting and powerful to Tracey.

“Even though these people are superheroes doing super human things, if you take that down a lot, it’s really just people helping other people,” Tracey said. “All of us have that superhero within us and can make the world a better place.” aerdekia@syr.edu

Research to improve transitions

By Thomas Beckley-Forest staff writer

New research from the iSchool is aiming to help veterans and refugees transitioning to unfamiliar settings.

Bryan Semaan, a professor in the School of Information Studies at Syracuse University, has announced a research project to help refugees and returning veterans acclimate to daily life in new situations. For the research, Semaan will be investigating local populations of refugees, specifically those of Iraqi descent and military veterans, according to an iSchool press release.

Both refugee and veteran populations typically experience a difficult set of events when they transition back into normalcy, he said.

“Refugees have to integrate into a whole new cultural, social and political see research page 6

Student advisory board to provide feedback

By Sara Swann staff writer

Starting next semester, 25 Syracuse University students will serve as representatives on the Division of Student Affairs Advisory Board to provide feedback and communicate student needs.

Over the past several months, Student Affairs communications manager Shannon Andre and other staff members have discussed ways to seek input from SU students. Creating a student advisory board was one of those ideas, Andre said in an email.

Student representatives on the advisory board will be asked to provide insight on issues related to student life and to offer suggestions on services, communications and programs within Student Affairs, Andre said.

“The work we do in Student Affairs impacts the student experience here and so it is important

to hear from the students we are supporting,” she said.

Nominations for the Student Affairs Advisory Board were received from Student Affairs, the Student Association and the Graduate Student Organization. SU students were also given the opportunity to apply for a representative position by submitting their resume and a short letter of interest, Andre said.

Four graduate students — GSO President Patrick Neary, GSO Internal Vice President Sam Leitermann and two GSO Senators — will serve on the advisory board, Neary said in an email.

“The Advocacy Center closure and other issues this semester have demonstrated the need for more communication from the Division of Student Affairs, and this board will be one way we get that,” Neary said.

SU students on the advisory board will meet with Rebecca Reed Kantrowitz, senior vice president and

dean of student affairs, along with other Student Affairs staff members every two weeks, Neary said.

Kantrowitz said she is excited to begin work with the Student Affairs Advisory Board in the spring.

We need more ways to connect students with the university’s leaders, and this is a powerful way of doing exactly that.

Patrick Neary president of the graduate student association

“I believe the students whom have agreed to serve will provide valuable feedback for Student Affairs,” she said in an email. “And I hope that they, too, will learn from

and enjoy this experience.”

Neary said he hopes the student advisory board will improve communication, especially about the issues of mental health and sexual assault, between Student Affairs and SU students.

“I do personally feel this is a critically necessary body,” Neary said. “We need more ways to connect students with the university’s leaders, and this is a powerful way of doing exactly that.”

While Student Affairs already has methods for students to provide feedback, it was important to create an official board where students can provide their thoughts and feedback on a more consistent basis. It also gives Student Affairs another place to vet ideas and create dialogue with students, Andre said.

editorial board

Division of Student Affairs should randomly select board members The Division of Student Affairs’ recent decision to implement a Student Advisory Board will fast track communication between administration and students. But in order to function at its highest capacity, the board should look further than the nominations from student government and its application process, and instead invite students chosen at random to participate.

The board will serve as council for Senior Vice President and Dean of Student Affairs Rebecca Reed Kantrowitz and will commence its biweekly meetings next semester.

The Division of Student Affairs will consider nominations from Student Association as well as the Graduate Student Organization when selecting the 25 student representatives.

It will hold extra seats for outside students who sent in applications by Sunday’s deadline to be considered for a position. However, even an application process is still likely to draw the type of student who is already involved in campus issues.

These extra seats are not enough. To create a true representation of the students at Syracuse University, roughly half the board should consist of students who are invited and who then subsequently self-elect to participate.

There is no typical SU student, but the best way to create a board consisting of varying opinions and ideas is to reach further than

the familiar faces of SA or GSO students. The Student Advisory Board is meant to provide insight and fresh perspective about student concerns. It would be in the best interest of the Division of Student Affairs and the entire student body to value the opinion of all students as much as those nominated by student government or who submitted an application.

To do so, there should be an equal number of representatives who were nominated or who applied and students who were chosen at random.

The Student Advisory Board will help bridge the gap in communication between administrators and students, but Student Affairs take extra steps to hear a range of voices and re-evaluate its current criterion for building the board.

Diversity must be brought to late night

C

raig Ferguson will depart from “The Late Late Show” on Dec. 19 and British comedian James Corden will take the reigns on March 9. In the interim, CBS will have a slew of guest hosts filling the 12:30 a.m. time slot.

Drew Carey will sandwich Judd Apatow, Wayne Brady, Jim Gaffigan, Will Arnett, John Mayer and several of the network’s stars. “The Talk” — CBS’s version of “The View” — will also air late night editions of the mid-afternoon show. This 11-week period is the perfect opportunity for late night talk shows to try something new.

CBS is taking a step in the right direction by introducing some diversity, but it now should go a step further and give a woman the chance to host “The Late Late Show” during this interim period, instead of trying to adapt the daytime women’s talk show fit into the late night scene.

Late night network talk shows have always been dominated by

ERIN G. KELLY MASS MEDIATED

straight, white, middle-aged men.

And that is no different today. The recent and impending changes to late night have not brought much range to the table. Jimmy Fallon replaced Jay Leno, Seth Meyers replaced Fallon, Stephen Colbert will take over for David Letterman and Corden will fill Ferguson’s shoes. It is in everyone’s best interest to introduce some new faces.

Networks are all about bankability, and introducing a host that doesn’t fit the prescribed build does not guarantee success. But this three-month gap gives CBS a chance to test the waters.

The network will have ample opportunity to see what type of host appeals to audiences, all the while not needing to worry about finding the perfect fit as guest hosts will only be on air for a few days and at the most a week.

The guest host spot is a low risk venture for both the guest and the network. And CBS is taking chances by giving unlikely candidates a go at the gig; such as “Mike and Molly’s” Billy Gardell, “The Millers’” Sean Hayes and “The Big Bang Theory’s” Kunal Nayyar.

And it can be expected that the audience of “The Late Late Show” will be receptive to these unconventional hosts. Seeing as Ferguson’s sidekick is an animatronic talking robot named Geoff, it looks like anything goes.

But CBS attempting to reboot “The Talk” to appeal to the late night audience does not compute. The classic format of late night TV consists of an opening monologue, banter with a sidekick and a desk and couch set up — all designed for a single host. Trying to fit Julie Chen, Sharon Osbourne, Sara Gilbert, Sheryl Underwood and Aisha Tyler into the host seat will be quite the undertaking. And when there are a slew of talented female comedians

scribble

on the CBS payroll, such as Melissa McCarthy, Kaley Cuoco and Kat Dennings, it is an unnecessary challenge.

Any one of the aforementioned ladies would have nailed the host’s role.

This is an exciting occasion for late night TV. And it is also the time for American viewing public to prove it is ready for these untraditional hosts and demand more untraditional

hosts. If “The Late Late Show” pulls in impressive numbers for these guest stars, the networks may get the hint that late night talk shows don’t need to be dominated by the same faces.

Because, really, they don’t.

College students should maintain personal budgets during holidays

T

he department stores are promising savings this year as they have every other. Come one, come all, sales all day. Buy two, save 50 percent. Free financing.

But we should know by now that it’s all just advertising lingo meant to prey on our anxieties and fears. Achieving real savings is harder than swiping a card. Buying a pair of Beats headphones for half-off still shows up on the income statement as a loss. In accounting terms, nothing is being saved. It’s just a matter of perceived value.

This is why everyone, especially college students, should make and maintain a personal budget — and the holiday season is a good time to start.

All too often, looking at the total line on our statements is our only way of measuring what we spend. The rest we leave up to what we can hazily recall about what we bought and when.

that is wired to know how to handle it.

One thing we all have in common is that we have costs that require our attention. They come in the form of food, car payments, utilities and entertainment, among other things.

Any Syracuse University student with a negative income knows that our accounts tend to hemorrhage away funds to these destinations with alarming speed.

The No. 1 reason to create a budget is so you can see exactly where all your money is going. The more classifications the better, that way you can see where you’re overspending.

An informative report from Personal Finance at Duke recommends generating a spreadsheet for fixed, such as

rent, phone, variable, like food, gas, and nonessential, as in movies, lattes, costs.

From there, you can go even further to pinpoint how much is going where.

The struggling college student may notice that once everything is added up, there are a few surprisingly high costs. Deep down in your heart you might know the daily Dunkaccino may not be necessary, but knowing you spent $60 on them this month may be the slap in the face you need to get that number down to $20. That leaves $40 to allocate towards gas, rent or savings.

Continual adjustments like these are key to balancing the budget, which any business needs to succeed.

So when the holidays come around and you must absorb the shock of buy-

ing expensive gifts, it would be a good idea to set some goals about where you want to be financially. Then, once you record and classify your expenses, you can set a budget of how much you want to spend. Looking back and analyzing your expenses and income will inevitably simplify the mystery of personal finance and close the black hole that is your spending habits.

The language of business is money.

Because we have the luxury of having even a little cash available to us, we need to operate like a business and not lose sight of where that money goes.

research context,” Semaan said. “Veterans come back from overseas after being in war, are ripped from their social structure of military camaraderie and must re-establish old rhythms..”

Semaan said he sees the project partially as an extension of the ideas explored in his dissertation, which focused on crisis informatics, or studying the ways technology is used in terms of disasters.

Bryan Dosono, a Ph.D. student in the iSchool, will assist Semaan in researching the intersection of online privacy and digital inclusion for underserved communities.

“The goal is to gain a deep understanding of how various technologies are used during the transition to normalcy in diverse contexts — namely, when people are forced to migrate when people return home from war,” Dosono said.

Semaan and Dosono spent the last three months identifying resources to use for research, and establishing relationships with Catholic Charities of Onondaga County and Veterans Administration. Dosono said both agencies would be “sharing their resources with the research team to help with the study’s outreach and promotion,” and will be helping set up interviews for the next phase of Semaan’s research, which is fieldwork.

Starting in January, Semaan said he and Dosono will be conducting fieldwork. That will

mainly consist of a series of 150–200 interviews that Catholic Charities and Veterans Administration have agreed to help set up, Semaan added.

The data collection phase, scattered with ongoing analysis of results as they come in, is expected to take about a year and half.

The assistance and cooperation of institutions like Catholic Charities of Syracuse and the Veterans Resource Center has made the process of setting up and planning field interviews much easier, Semaan said.

After that, Semaan and Dosono will go into the tool-building phase, attempting to craft and test resources for their subjects. One such idea is the possibility of using social media or mobile applications to provide social support or link people to their previous situation while they adjust to a new one.

Any programs or tools developed out of Semaan and Dosono’s findings would at first be implemented among their targeted demographic populations locally, but Semaan said he has hope that if they develop something truly effective, it might eventually have global impact.

“Even after conducting my research, I may find that a technological approach is not the best way to help these demographics,” Semaan said.

Semaan emphasized that more research on the topic of how to help these underserved populations will be beneficial no matter the results of his findings. tjbeckle@syr.edu

THE PRICE IS RIGHT Sport Management Club to hold 10th annual charity auction to benefit Make-A-Wish

By Erin McDonald staff writer

T

he Sport Management Club at Syracuse University will be holding its 10th annual auction to benefit charities in central New York during the holiday season, and the group intends for it to be bigger than ever.

At the men’s basketball home game against St. John’s University on Saturday, the club will hold its 10th annual silent auction for attendees of the game. This year’s recipient of the money raised is the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Central New York.

Over the past nine years, the club has raised over $213,000 for various charities in the central New York region, some of which include the food bank and children’s hospital, said Haley Eklund, a senior sport management major and marketing chair for the club.

This year, the club has set a goal to raise at least $40,000 to break the mark of a quarter of a million dollars raised over the past 10 years, Eklund said.

If the goal amount of money is raised at this auction, it will be able to fund the wishes of four children in the region, as costs to fund the wish of an ill child are rising to roughly $10,000 per wish, said Diane Kuppermann, president of the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Central New York.

For the Make-A-Wish Foundation, this charity auction is about more than just the money. The publicity and exposure that the organization has already received simply leading up to the event has already been a huge benefit, Kuppermann said.

“I am completely blow n away by the work that the students have done,” Kuppermann said.

Items at the auction include a wide array of potential gift items for the holiday season. Almost every sport has memorabilia, and a variety of teams and players are represented through autographs, tickets, clothing and other objects, said the Sport Management Club adviser Kate Veley. There are also items specific to SU and gift items ranging from electronics to restaurant gift cards, she said.

The Sport Management Club at Syracuse University will hold its 10th annual charity sports auction on Saturday in the Carrier Dome as the SU men’s basketball team faces St. John’s. This year’s auction will benefit the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Central New York. Past beneficiaries have included the Food Bank of Central New York and the Special Olympics. courtesy of the department of sport management

In comparison to past years, this particular auction has more than 500 items that are to be auctioned off, which is a record number.

“I am completely blown away by the work that the students have done.”

Diane Kuppermann president of the make-a-wish foundation of central new york

These items also have a higher value, leading to high expectations for this year’s event, Veley said.

The process to select the benefiting charity from the auction each year begins in the planning done the spring semester prior to the event. The two chairs of the event research charities in the area that meet the eligibility requirements and narrow down the options to five or six charities. The chairs visit the charities and they bring back information to the rest of the Sport Management Club, a group of about 100 members, who in turn vote on which charity should be partnered with the club for the auction, Eklund said.

“It’s really nice that the club gets involved in picking the charity,” Eklund said, whose role as marketing chair involves making people aware of the event and coordinating publicity leading

up to the auction.

The group’s interaction with the charity has been more involved than ever, and the event also has two financial sponsors, Trusted Choice and Wheels for Wishes, which will help make the 10th year even more special, Veley said.

Speakers from Make-A-Wish, including wish kids, have attended Sport Management Club meetings throughout the semester to speak to students about their personal stories and demonstrate how exactly this auction will be helping children, Veley said. She added that the meetings would help motivate students even further to make this year’s auction a success. eemcdona@syr.edu

Kuebrich said THE General Body hopes to continue building a stronger coalition of student organizations.

administration — members of THE General Body — met with administrators, including Chancellor Kent Syverud, in an effort to come to an agreement over the group’s demands. On Nov. 20, the 18th day of the sit-in, protesters left the building.

During the nearly three weeks that protesters remained in Crouse-Hinds, administrators spent time balancing their day-to-day responsibilities with a sudden need to negotiate with the protesters. For some administrators, that meant learning about new issues on campus, while for others it meant completely reprioritizing their daily schedule.

Bea Gonzalez, dean of University College, was appointed by Syverud to serve as the liaison between the chancellor and THE General Body.

we work with this much larger coalition?’” he said, saying that members of the SU community including faculty and alumni have continued to support and join THE General Body.

Before the sit-in ended, some SU faculty members showed support for the group, even holding a rally at the Wall of Remembrance on Nov. 17.

“It kind of moves from faculty expressing support for THE General Body to faculty being part of THE General Body,” Kuebrich said.

Jonathan Schmidt, a freshman political science major and member of THE General Body, is looking to organize a national movement and form an infrastructure to communicate across different schools.

He said THE General Body has supported

protesters on the campus of the University of California-Berkley, where a series of rallies and building occupations have taken place over the past few weeks in response to tuition hikes.

The group will be holding a meeting this week to debrief on the sit-in and make plans on how the group is logistically going to move forward, Schmidt said.

“The movement is growing and I think if next semester if the administration doesn’t provide what it has promised then I’ll think THE General Body will come back stronger than it was these past few weeks,” Jones said.

Schmidt said there currently aren’t any rallies planned, but said the group will continue to figure out “how to keep our presence known

and continue to raise awareness of the issues.”

The group has not ruled out staging another sit-in, Schmidt added, though members don’t have plans to hold one in the near future.

Jones said the group will likely hold weekly or biweekly meetings and continue to have teach-ins to “keep educating ourselves and one another.”

“We’re only continuing to grow and people are starting to hear our message and people are starting to stand with us,” Jones said.

Said Kuebrich: “We’re not going to stop until we have some action on these student needs…

We had a slogan coming out of there (CrouseHinds) like ‘Coming Back Stronger’ and I think that that’s what all of us are working toward.”

“a monumental time management task.”

Department of Public Safety Chief Tony Callisto said in his 33 years of experience, he’d dealt with protesters many times but never for the length of the sit-in.

But the fact that the sit-in spanned nearly three weeks meant making logistical adjustments, Callisto said. Officers had to be scheduled to be in Crouse-Hinds 24 hours a day, in addition to their regular shifts. And those scheduling changes came at a price.

After the sit-in ended, officers had participated in nearly 1,800 hours of extra time on the job, Callisto said.

“This kind of event is expensive,” he said.

“We’re thankful that we’re able to move on and get the situation normal for DPS.” And while administrators are able to move on as well, they will still work on issues raised by the sit-in and take into account lessons learned since the time the protest started.

Rebecca Reed Kantrowitz, dean of student affairs, met with members of THE General Body multiple times during the sit-in. She said at first, there were many issues brought forward, some of which were new to her. The sheer number of issues discussed in the demands document brought another issue to light for Kantrowitz.

“One thing for me that I realized that I think we all realized is there’s so much going on right now in this institution that the communication piece for us is really critical,” she said.

Spina echoed that idea, using the university’s mission and vision statement as an example. He said this year was the first time in SU’s history that the proposed statement was put on the school’s website, and the SU community was asked to give input. Spina said he thought the strategic planning steering committee had communicated that opportunity, but later found many students never knew the group was asking for input.

But while there were struggles and teachable moments throughout the sit-in, administrators say progress was made with the protesters on key issues and that won’t change just because the sit-in has ended.

Gonzalez said the administration is “moving on all the things we said we were going to move on,” and maintaining commitments and timelines that were established during the negotiation process.

But, she did say that some of the things protesters were requesting will take more time to achieve.

Spina added that while the 18-day sit-in was a learning experience in which significant progress was made, the priority throughout was to focus on the students.

“This isn’t some faceless, nameless opposition,” he said. “We like to interact with students and like to help them achieve their goals in life.

I think the most important thing to us from the beginning is that these are our students.”

Group to perform in NYC Otto Tunes to sing in Radio City Christmas Spectacular pre-show

By Clare Ramirez asst. feature editor

Never say no to a gig.

This is one belief that members of Syracuse University’s all-male a capella group Otto Tunes stands by, and one reason why the group didn’t turn down a performance at Radio City Music Hall in New York City on Dec. 14.

The group will perform as part of a pre-show for the Radio City Christmas Spectacular, opening for the Rockettes. The group will wear ugly Christmas sweaters while singing the holiday songs “Let It Snow,” “Carol of the Bells” and “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas.”

This gig is just going to solidify everything that we’ve worked for, everything that we stand for as a group.

or the past few days, social media feeds have been clogged with selfies from friends and family reunited over Thanksgiving Break. But on Tuesday, The Central New York Community Foundation hopes to clog those same feeds with #unSelfies.

The foundation joined the national philanthropic movement of Giving Tuesday — which follows the busy consumer spending days of Black Friday and Cyber Monday — last year. Giving Tuesday will take place this Tuesday.

Peter Dunn, president and CEO of the foundation, said local nonprofits have started to implement the day into their communication plans and that the buzz surrounding the event has increased since last year.

“Giving Tuesday is an effort launched a couple years ago to focus people around the country away from the consumer aspects of the holiday season and toward the concept of charitable giv-

ing as part of the holiday season,” Dunn said.

This year the foundation hopes to harness the power of social media with the #unSelfie.

Participants are asked to write down a charitable cause on a piece of paper and explain how or why they support the cause. They are then asked to post a picture of themselves with the piece of paper on Twitter, Facebook or Instagram with the caption #unSelfieCNY.

what is an unselfie?

An “unSelfie” is similar to a selfie, but with a twist. Participants are asked to write down a charitable cause on a piece of paper and how or why they support it.

When Giving Tuesday has come to an end, one person that posted a photo with the event hashtag will be selected at random to donate $1,000 to the local charity of their choice. The donation will be funded by the foundation. The “unSelfies” will be

compiled into a gallery open to the public on the foundation’s website.

Magazine, newspaper and online journalism graduate student Ruthnie Angrand has interned for nonprofits in the past, but has never gotten to use social media in her efforts like she has this year as an intern for the foundation.

At other nonprofits, Angrand has always been the youngest person in the room and the only one in tune with social media. Many people in the older generation view it simply as entertainment rather than a tool to expose their cause or broaden their reach, she said.

But social media has the power to connect organizers with volunteers and donors, and also the people that these organizations serve, Angrand said. With social media, nonprofits are more accessible to the people that they benefit.

Angrand added that she believes social media campaigns put everyone on the same level and make people feel more comfortable approaching

“This gig is just going to solidify everything that we’ve worked for, everything that we stand for as a group. I think that this is just going to be the cherry on top of an excellent semester for us,” said Nick Godzak, music director for Otto Tunes.

About two weeks ago, the group received an email from a scout in charge of finding opening acts for the Radio City Christmas Spectacular, inviting them to perform at the venue.

The pre-shows for the Radio City Christmas Spectacular span roughly three weeks and involve performances by both celebrities and collegiate a capella groups from SU and other universities such as Colgate University, Princeton University and the University see otto

Sophomore advertising major TJ Wells said initially the group members didn’t think it was real — they thought it was a joke.

Wells also said performing at Radio City Music Hall still doesn’t seem like a real opportunity, but he’s looking forward to the experience and sharing it with his closest friends.

“We’re honored to have been asked in the first place,” Wells said. “Even watching ‘America’s Got Talent’ and thinking, ‘Wow, it’s great that those people are performing,’ and realizing that’s going to be me in two

weeks. That’s going to be us as a group.”

Practicing for the Radio City Music Hall performance adds on to the preparation the group has had to go through for a capella Afterhours this Thursday. Wells said performing three songs for Afterhours is stressful enough, but the pressure keeps the group motivated.

“We have to learn three more songs during finals week and perform them in front of a crowd in New York City that has never seen us perform before,” Wells said. “It’s scary because we can’t perform any song that we’ve done before, but we work well under pressure, and this is going to be a great experience.”

Godzak said the group will miss four or five members who couldn’t change their travel plans after finals. But most of the group who

will perform will be getting together whenever they are available to finish learning the music.

As the music director, Godzak chooses a lot of the songs that the group performs and teaches the members the arrangements. He said learning the music is one of the hardest things to do, especially since the group has never performed holiday songs before.

“I’m finishing these arrangements and the sooner I do that, the sooner they can learn their part,” Godzak said. “So that’s a lot of pressure on me. But this is such a great group of guys that they can do anything — they can learn it and get it over with.”

Senior vocal performance major Jaclyn Clark has been the vocal coach for Otto Tunes since the group was founded during her freshman year. As from page 9

“Normally when you walk into a nonprofit or a human service environment, you are there because you need something. And there’s this wall that says we are up here and you are down here — we are not on the same level,” Angrand said.

The CNYCF is not the only foundation that has taken advantage of social media. When the foundation participated in Giving Tuesday for the first time last year, Angrand said she saw other nonprofits joining social media to participate in the event.

Dunn said fostering a community of giving is part of the foundation’s mission, and social media is another tool that helps nonprofits to reach their constituencies. Dunn said he hopes it will help mobilize people and increase interactions

“They’re just such a great group of young men who have such a passion and fire to perform, and I relate to that so much because my field is vocal performance,” Clark said. “Otto Tunes basically started as a barbershop quartet in Flint Hall, and I’ve gotten to see them and hear them, watch them grow — that’s one of the best parts.” clramire@syr.edu | @clareramirez_

between nonprofits and the people they serve.

Katrina Crocker, communications officer for the foundation, said she wants people to rally around the “unSelfies” and use them as a creative space to translate their messages.

“We decided to adopt it here locally as an effort to sort of highlight how charitable community members in central New York are and hopefully to inspire others,” she said.

Crocker encourages local nonprofits to utilize the campaign as a way to assemble their donors, volunteers and workers in a fun way.

“There are a lot of opportunities for people to engage in conversation about local charitable giving while creating these,” Crocker said.

“I hope that local business owners encourage their employees to participate, and I hope our local nonprofits encourage their workers, volunteers and donors to participate as well.” jagedets@syr.edu

Mello Velo Bicycle Shop & Cafe offers cozy atmosphere, bike culture despite high prices

By Rohan Thakore staff writer

T

ucked away from the commotion of Syracuse University and located in the heart of Westcott is a combination bike shop and cafe with a cozy atmosphere for students.

Mello Velo Bicycle Shop & Cafe seamlessly brings a cycling and cafe culture to Syracuse.

It’s easy to miss the cafe when walking down Westcott Street. The brick building where the cafe is located also houses a Spanish restaurant and a laundromat. Mello Velo is located on the top floor and has separate entrances for the shop and cafe.

Each entrance features a long staircase with posters and ads gracing the walls. On the shop side, dozens of bikes, helmets, jerseys and general cycling gear hang along the cramped corners and walls.

The shop eventually spills into the cafe, with more bikes beautifully painted and gleaming above as customers enjoy the food.

The cafe side, which is connected to the shop by a door, features vintage posters, magazines and signs relating to cycling culture. Comfy chairs, high wooden tables and warm lighting give the cafe a cozy feel.

The menu is extensive and even has subtle cycling references. Items such as the Randonneur, the Domestique and the Peloton hint at terms commonly heard at cycling events.

Intrigued, I decided to order the Yellow Jersey, the African peanut stew and a pita pizza pocket.

The Yellow Jersey, a reference to the color jersey worn by the leader of the Tour de France, was a warm breakfast sandwich stuffed with apples, bananas, honey, cinnamon and thick peanut butter. A hearty sandwich, each bite was sweet with all the fruits and honey, but the peanut butter added a little bit of saltiness.

The textures also worked well with each other — the crunch of the bread and apples complemented a ripe, soft banana. It was served with a yogurt fruit salad, composed of even more apples, sweetened yogurt and topped with almonds. The yogurt was a bit too sweet for me and didn’t do much for the sandwich.

Many of Mello Velo’s menu items are inspired by biking. The Yellow Jersey, a reference to the leader of the Tour de France, is a warm breakfast sandwich filled with apples, bananas, honey, cinnamon and peanut butter.

The African peanut stew was probably the most surprising item I ordered. The warm vegetable broth was made with peanut butter and was filled with onions, collard greens, tomatoes and cubes of fresh bread. The spices inside gave the stew a curry-like consistency and taste. It was extremely flavorful, packed with nutrients and even had a slight peanut taste. This stew is a great addition to the menu.

The pita pizza pocket was also pretty good.

Mozzarella cheese, spinach, onions and pesto were stuffed inside a whole-wheat pita. The

sandwich had all the tasty components of a pizza, and each bite had warm cheese and pesto. The pita was toasted nicely so that it wasn’t too soggy, and held up to the sundried pesto tucked away inside. Although it’s not a traditional breakfast item, it wasn’t a bad way to start off the morning.

Like any great cafe, Mello Velo also serves a variety of coffee treats. The macchiato I ordered was strong with a slight bitter aftertaste, but had a great smooth feel overall. Even the pumpkin spice latte I got was tasty, and the cinnamon complimented the sweet, spiced syrup in the

espresso. The best time to visit the cafe is breakfast, since there are very few people who come in. But since they serve breakfast all day, it’s easy to try the great coffee and warm morning dishes any time of the day.

It’s not hard to find great cafes in Syracuse.

Whether near campus or downtown, there are a number of places to go check out. But Mello Velo is different. It has the vibe of a coffee shop, but the culture and history of cycling in the forefront. It’s a small gem in the heart of a big city. rythakor@syr.edu

Freshman Minott looks to build on increased minutes

By Josh Hyber staff writer

When Danielle Minott checked in to Syracuse’s game against Jacksonville on Nov. 22, the freshman guard had no points, no steals and one rebound in just six minutes played over two games.

Syracuse led 9-3 at the 16:40 mark of the first half, and in 2:33 of playing time, Minott hit a jumper and picked up both an offensive and defensive rebound.

The short spell was a microcosm of Minott’s ability and athleticism, and a glimpse at why some Syracuse players see Minott as a mini Brittney Sykes.

On Monday at 7 p.m., Minott and No. 22 Syracuse (4-1) return home for a game against Vermont (0-5). With Sykes still recovering from a torn right ACL and the Orange playing an inferior opponent, Minott will likely see her first extended minutes in the Carrier Dome.

“When (Danielle) starts to figure out what we’re trying to do on the floor, she’s going to be explosive for us,” Syracuse head coach Quentin Hillsman said, after Minott played just four minutes against Fordham on Nov. 16.

“Like I told you last year about (then-freshman guard) Alexis Peterson, trust me, Danielle Minott’s next. She’s a very good player, and she’s going to help us.”

While Minott sees limited action behind a

guard rotation of Peterson, Cornelia Fondren, Diamond Henderson and Maggie Morrison, the Miami Country Day (Florida) School product has shown flashes and versatility in limited action.

Against Jacksonville, Minott played a season-high 15 minutes and scored five points, grabbed three rebounds and came up with two steals while playing a wing position in SU’s 2-3 zone.

As a sophomore in high school, Minott led Parkway (Florida) Academy to the Class-3A state championship game, but the Panthers lost by 15 to P.K. Yonge. Minott then transferred to Miami Country Day, where the Spartans reached the state title game.

As a senior, Minott’s annual appearance in a state title game looked doubtful. The Spartans had a series of injuries early in the year, and the team went through what head coach Ochiel Swaby called a “gauntlet” schedule with a rotation of only six players.

“But she carried us,” Swaby said. “I had college coaches at major schools say, ‘How did we miss this kid?’”

Minott led the Spartans to a 26-3 record and the school’s first state championship, in any sport, in its 75-year history.

“I guess the third time was just meant to be,” Minott said. “I just had this mentality that I didn’t want to lose three times, ended my high school career right and start my college career on a good note.”

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Jordan Murrell sat alone in the middle of the field. Nick Perea had a blank stare on his face, not removing his cleats or shin guards. Matt Stith — who never played a regular-season game — was sobbing.

They are part of a senior class that won just three games its freshman year, but recorded double-digit win totals each of the next three seasons.

Ninth-seeded Syracuse was unable to tie a program record and get its 17th win on Sunday in a 2-1 loss to No. 8 seed Georgetown that ended SU’s season in the third round of the NCAA tournament. SU head coach Ian McIntyre emphasized the distance the seniors have brought the program over their four years. Four of the nine seniors have one year of eligibility left, but regardless of who stays, they’ll never get to play as a full group again.

“It’s basically what all the emotion is after the game,” senior defender Skylar Thomas said. “You’ll never play with these guys again.

Mac will never be my coach again.”

Thomas will likely be taken in the Major League Soccer Draft. So too will Murrell. But for the likes of senior defender Chris Makowski and the junior Stith — who will leave, according to an SU Athletics — their soccer careers will be

defined by how they helped bring Syracuse out of the depths of college soccer.

All season, the Orange’s youth has played a large role in SU being mentioned with the nation’s best and even garnering the country’s No. 1 rank for two weeks. It’s the seniors, though, who were around for an abysmal 2011 season.

“It’s an important group that has set the bar pretty high and set the table from which we can build,” McIntyre said.

Perea tied for second on the team with five goals after only scoring that many in his first three seasons combined. Murrell led the team with seven assists. Thomas scored game-winning goals against then-No. 2 Virginia on Sept. 27 and in overtime against Boston College on Oct. 31.

It’s not a class defined by an overtime loss to the Hoyas in the NCAA tournament round of 16.

“All I said to the boys was literally, ‘I love you man,’” junior midfielder Juuso Pasanen said. “You can’t even say anything else.”

McIntyre said he will talk with each sometime in the next couple days, as he always does.

There won’t be emotional speeches, though.

McIntyre said the seniors already know how much he appreciates what they’ve done.

“Our relationship with our seniors is defined over four years,” McIntyre said. “An end of a season, but the end of four-year careers as well.” mcschnei@syr.edu | @matt_schneidman

“I think it’s great learning experience for them,” senior defensive end Robert Welsh said.

“This is their team now. They’re the future.

Whenever you can get young guys a chance, throw them in the fire and get them a chance to get some playing time, that just helps you in the future.”

We make sure as a defense that we set the tone for the next defense coming up because it’s good for them to show that they have to fight to the end, regardless of the record.

declare for the NFL Draft. Aside from junior defensive lineman Ron Thompson, Cordy and Franklin are the only starters from Saturday seemingly set to be back next season.

Lynch assured that he has confidence in not only Franklin, but also freshman linebackers Parris Bennett, Jonathan Thomas and the rest of the future of the Syracuse defense.

Some of them contributed in small roles throughout the year, but more of them watched as the Orange stumbled through an injury-plagued 3-9 season.

But next year, most of them will have a better view.

“We make sure as a defense that we set the tone for the next defense coming up because it’s good for them to show that they have to fight to the end, regardless of the record,” Lynch said. “I feel like, as a defense, we set that example for (them).

“Hopefully when they grow up and endure situations like we did, they’re going to handle them the same way.”

Lester discusses freshman Philips after season-ending loss Syracuse offensive coordinator Tim Lester wasn’t coy about his offenses season-long struggles.

He was reminded of a goal of scoring an average of four-and-a-half to five touchdowns

ERVIN PHILIPS (14) stiff-arms a BC defender in one of his four rush attempts during SU’s 28-7 loss to the Eagles. He ran for 16 yards in the loss. logan reidsma staff photographer

a game when he took over five games into the season, and gave a simple explanation of how he plans to reach that goal next season after falling well short in his first shot.

It centered around injured quarterback Terrel Hunt, but he also discussed freshman running back Ervin Philips as a bright spot heading into the offseason.

Philips ran for 16 yards on four rushes against the Eagles, and collected 25 yards on consecutive plays on the Orange’s only scoring drive. He finishes the season with 193 yards on 46 attempts for a unit that scored just two touchdowns — and none since SU’s opener on Aug. 29 — this year.

Follow @DOsports on Twitter

The Orange won’t return senior running backs Prince-Tyson Gulley and Adonis Ameen-Moore, leaving Philips with sophomores George Morris II and Devante McFarlane. Morris rushed for 101 yards and McFarlane for 169, making Philips the leading returning rusher.

“He did a very good job learning the offense,” Lester said. “That’s hard to do as a true freshman.”

Along with Philips, freshman Steve Ishmael had the most receiving yards this season, 415, of any returning wide receiver. pmdabbra@syr.edu | @PhilDAbb jcdoug01@syr.edu | @dougherty_jesse

georgetown work, you feel, you have this, you have emotions,” SU head coach Ian McIntyre said. “It’s a tough day.”

As it has in 16 of its 21 games this season, the Orange took a 1-0 lead. Senior defender Skylar Thomas had raced up from the back line, running down the sideline with a Hoya defender before kicking the ball off the Georgetown defender and out of bounds.

The ensuing corner kick went to sophomore striker Alex Halis, who dribbled the ball into the box, rifled a shot past an outstretched yet helpless Tomas Gomez. The Georgetown goalkeeper could only dust himself off following the 55th-minute goal.

Until that point, Georgetown had outshot Syracuse 11-5, but the Hoyas’ opportunities evaporated after. For 35 minutes, the Hoyas didn’t manage a shot on goal.

But when Tyler Rudy lined up his corner kick with a little more than 10 minutes to play, the noise in the stadium reached a pitch it hadn’t yet touched. Some in the crowd rose to their feet, and others stomped them loudly against the aluminum bleachers that were packed with navy blue.

Rudy lifted his cross directly to Keegan Rosenberry at the opposite end of the goal. He headed the ball back across goal and into the net with 10:09 remaining. The crowd that was waiting to explode did.

In 2012, Syracuse’s 1-0 lead vanished on a Georgetown goal from Brandon Allen with 5:04 left to play, and Rosenberry’s goal on Sunday was a prelude to a nearly identical result,

set pieces set-piece struggles would subside for SU. The Orange dominated the box, as goalkeeper Alex Bono repeatedly elevated to punch away balls and no Hoya could match defender Skylar Thomas in the air.

“I thought we did an outstanding job of limiting their spaces,” SU head coach Ian McIntyre said. “We worked so hard to make them as predictable as they can be.”

But the Hoyas finally broke through when Tyler Rudy’s corner found the head of defender Keegan Rosenberry and then the back-right corner of the net in the 80th minute. The Georgetown students erupted in celebration as Rosenberry and the rest of the Hoyas were mauled behind the goal.

When Rist’s 94th-minute header found the back of the net, Bono sunk to his knees as the

sealed by Rist’s overtime game-winner.

“It’s hard giving up a goal (10) minutes before the end of the game,” Thomas said. “That being said, they get all the momentum and we’re kind of on the back foot after that. We got unlucky.”

Syracuse may not have been the same Cinderella story that it was two years ago when it came into the tournament and won its first two games over ranked opponents.

This time around, Syracuse was a national contender that had found its name placed high atop the rankings. Disappointment in 2014 has been few and far between. But when it has hap-

pened, there’s always been another game to play.

But as the players walked around the field aimlessly following Sunday’s loss — some with their head in their hands, some on their knees, others back to the bench — there was little solace to be found.

“We went up in this game two years ago and we were kind of clinging for dear life,” McIntyre said. “We’ve come a long way to come down here and to be the protagonist and be on the front foot and be the aggressor. “… It’s heartbreaking.”

entire Georgetown bench emptied onto the field around the senior midfielder.

“It’s one of those things where it’s just details.

Spaces don’t score, men score,” Bono said. “We’ve got to take responsibility for our guys coming in and mark them, and we didn’t do that unfortunately and that’s where they capitalized.”

Wiese said the Hoyas hadn’t been that successful on set pieces all year, but that Rudy was sending in the best corner kicks he had all season.

Shots from live play weren’t getting past Bono — who Wiese said is comfortably one of the best keepers in the nation — and the Hoyas head coach had a hunch that his team was going to have to win a different way.

Unfortunately for Syracuse’s record-breaking season, Georgetown found that way.

Said Wiese: “It doesn’t matter how good your goalkeeper is, if the serves are good it’s going to cause problems.”

Syracuse blows sweet 16 lead to Hoyas again

By Sam Blum asst. copy editor

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Alex Bono dropped to his knees. His blue jersey shielding his eyes from the jubilation and celebration that encircled him.

He was alone, yet surrounded by a sea of people. His mind both blank and racing at the same time.

It had taken only seconds for the entire Georgetown team to congregate in a jumping circle around the

Syracuse goal. And it had taken only seconds for one goal to erase a season of winning dominance.

“I couldn’t even describe to you what I thought when it went in,” Bono, the SU goalkeeper, said. “I heard the crowd behind me. I just kind of put my head in the ground. I was kind of brainless for a second.”

In the same venue, against the same team and on the same faded, worn-out November grass that Syracuse had lost to Georgetown in the third-round in

2012, Sunday’s game followed a similar script. Eighth-seeded Georgetown

came to a screeching halt in a 2-1 overtime loss at Shaw Field in front of 1,505.

With 6:17 remaining in the first overtime period, Jared Rist headed a corner directly into the bottom right corner of the goal, just inches away from Bono, sending the Hoyas into the quarterfinals and Syracuse reflecting on a season its players felt ended prematurely.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — It was a situation Syracuse was all too familiar with.

Not losing to Georgetown in the NCAA tournament round of 16 in overtime, but conceding a game-winning goal off a set piece.

It happened in all three regular-season losses for SU and it happened again Sunday when Georgetown’s Jared Rist scored on a near-post header in the first period of sudden-death overtime.

Both GU goals on the day were scored off corner kicks, and the ninth-seeded Orange’s (16-4-1) 2-1 loss at Shaw Field to the eighth-seeded Hoyas (14-4-1) not only put a final touch on Syracuse’s season, but also on an area of struggle that plagued SU in each of its four losses this year.

“There hasn’t been a whole lot of Achilles’ heels for Syracuse this season,” Georgetown head coach Brian Wiese said. “If you look at all three games they’ve lost, they’re all from set pieces served in.

“That was the same today.”

First it was a Brandon Aubrey header off a free kick that sent Syracuse to a 1-0 defeat against Notre Dame on Sept. 13. Then Louisville’s Jerry Ramirez and Ricardo Velazco each put one home off of free kicks to seal two separate Cardinals wins against SU later in the season.

For nearly the first 80 minutes of Sunday’s game, it looked as if the see set

Orange freshmen set to take over senior-heavy SU defense in 2015

By Phil D’Abbraccio and Jesse Dougherty the daily orange

CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. — Though senior Cameron Lynch was Syracuse’s leading tackler and one of the best in the Atlantic Coast Conference, he feels comfortable handing

off the keys to the Orange’s defense to its younger players, such as freshman Zaire Franklin.

In a way, Lynch already has.

“Knowing he calls the plays, I took a backseat because he can handle everything,” Lynch said.

“As long as he keeps his head on straight, he’ll be a great player here.

He’s in a better spot than I was when I was a freshman.”

Boston College’s (7-5, 4-4 ACC) 28-7 victory over SU (3-9, 1-7) on Saturday signified the end of an era for a number of the Orange’s defensive contributors, many of whom will graduate and some of whom may receive NFL opportunities. But the

conclusion of the 2014 season also capped off the first year of hands-on experience for a few promising young Syracuse defenders.

After a 10-tackle performance at Pittsburgh on Nov. 22, Franklin made six stops against the Eagles, including a sack for a loss of 8 yards in his third consecutive start. Fresh-

man cornerback Antwan Cordy chipped in two assisted tackles in his first career start.

Franklin is in line for a starting role next year with Lynch and fellow linebacker Dyshawn Davis graduating. And Cordy could be in the mix to receive significant minutes next year see notebook page 14
